I returned the first round

found on your family's farm.

So the first thing
that I noticed
is that the forensics reveal
152

a narrowing of the bone's age.

are old enough to free ernest

two new details.

are from late 1800s.

are from multiple people.

00:09:04,394 --> 00:09:05,193
I know that.
169
00:09:07,231 --> 00:09:11,950
[sighs] now I've made
my mistakes,
but now that I'm here,
170
00:09:12,069 --> 00:09:13,368
I'm staying here.
171
00:09:17,574 --> 00:09:20,742
I don't know, I...
Just hope they accept me.
172
00:09:22,746 --> 00:09:26,798
'cause a lot has happened
and a lot has been said.
173
00:09:26,917 --> 00:09:28,550
Yeah, well,
things that need to be said,
174
00:09:28,635 --> 00:09:30,252
but you weren't wrong
about any of them.
175
00:09:31,471 --> 00:09:35,473
Just know that you're loved.
And not just by me.
176
00:09:37,844 --> 00:09:40,228
[sighs] we're gonna
have a good one today, okay?
177
00:09:40,314 --> 00:09:43,098
-[billie] okay.
-All right, we got this.
178
00:09:48,939 --> 00:09:50,638
-Oh, yeah, we got this.
-[prosper laughs]
179
00:09:50,741 --> 00:09:51,606
[both laughing]
180
00:09:55,762 --> 00:09:58,830
[ralph angel] all right.
Mmm-hmm.
181
00:10:02,169 --> 00:10:03,251
What's it say, pop?
182
00:10:03,337 --> 00:10:04,619
It says you getting big.
183
00:10:05,672 --> 00:10:06,671
-I don't care how tall
you get--
-yes!
184
00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:08,440
You still my baby boy.
185
00:10:09,876 --> 00:10:12,594
Next time I come, I'm gonna
be even taller than this.
186
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,798
Like, probably about... There!
187
00:10:16,883 --> 00:10:18,133
-That tall?
-Yeah.
188
00:10:19,970 --> 00:10:22,270
We gotta keep
this here always.
189
00:10:22,356 --> 00:10:25,173
Even when I'm as tall as you.
190
00:10:25,275 --> 00:10:28,059
[gasps] we could put
the baby's height
right next to mine.
191
00:10:28,145 --> 00:10:30,061
So it's always in the house.
192
00:10:31,732 --> 00:10:34,983
Come on, we wanna know
the ins and outs.
193
00:10:35,068 --> 00:10:37,118
Tell us everything
you've learned in school.
194
00:10:37,204 --> 00:10:38,820
-So much.
-[ralph angel chuckles]
195
00:10:38,905 --> 00:10:40,855
-my history teacher,
miss hertson.
-[darla] mmm-hmm.
196
00:10:40,957 --> 00:10:46,077
She took us on a field trip
to the national museum
of african american history.
197
00:10:46,163 --> 00:10:47,629
And we went to...
198
00:10:49,833 --> 00:10:51,950
What are those boxes for?
199
00:10:52,052 --> 00:10:55,220
We can talk about that later.
After the shower, okay?
200
00:10:56,056 --> 00:10:56,871
All right.
201
00:10:57,724 --> 00:11:00,058
Actually, blue, what you say
we, uh...
202
00:11:01,528 --> 00:11:02,594
Take us a little walk.
203
00:11:05,265 --> 00:11:06,348
Want to talk to you.
204
00:11:09,269 --> 00:11:10,101
Okay.
205
00:11:17,527 --> 00:11:18,360
[door opening]
206
00:11:21,198 --> 00:11:22,163
[door closing]
207
00:11:25,702 --> 00:11:29,020
I mean, the way they started,
and all they been through,
208
00:11:29,122 --> 00:11:31,256
just proves that love
makes all things possible.
209
00:11:31,375 --> 00:11:34,342
Well,
they are a strong couple.
210
00:11:34,428 --> 00:11:38,380
So she kicked her addiction
and now he's single-handedly
running the farm.
211
00:11:38,465 --> 00:11:41,132
I mean,
those are major turn arounds.
212
00:11:41,218 --> 00:11:45,420
They are.
They still have challenges,
but more triumphs.
213
00:11:45,522 --> 00:11:47,305
I'm hoping that some
of the information
that you uncovered
214
00:11:47,391 --> 00:11:50,258
about the bones on the farm
may lead somewhere.
215
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,694
I can't just let that land
be handed over to the landrys.
216
00:11:53,647 --> 00:11:56,147
I'm not giving up.
None of us are.
217
00:11:57,617 --> 00:12:00,402
Always keep fighting.
That's the motto.
218
00:12:00,487 --> 00:12:04,105
Yeah,
but we gotta celebrate, too.
219
00:12:04,207 --> 00:12:07,575
[laughs] they deserve this
today and charley's pulling
out all the stops at her place
220
00:12:07,661 --> 00:12:09,077
and it should
be really lovely.
221
00:12:09,162 --> 00:12:10,228
Well, you look gorgeous.
222
00:12:12,249 --> 00:12:13,581
I do?
223
00:12:13,667 --> 00:12:15,133
I'll happily say it again.
224
00:12:17,254 --> 00:12:18,253
You look gorgeous.
225
00:12:22,542 --> 00:12:23,842
Call me when you get back.
226
00:12:23,927 --> 00:12:25,593
-Can you bring me a vi's pie?
-Uh, really?
227
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,979
Please, any slice,
I'll take it.
228
00:12:28,098 --> 00:12:29,431
Wanna come get some yourself?
229
00:12:31,435 --> 00:12:35,153
I... Yeah. Yeah, I would.
230
00:12:37,908 --> 00:12:39,407
Good. Okay.
231
00:12:44,014 --> 00:12:45,730
-[hollywood] hey.
-Hi.
232
00:12:45,849 --> 00:12:46,848
[violet laughs]
233
00:12:46,933 --> 00:12:48,216
-wood!
-Hey, micah.
234
00:12:48,318 --> 00:12:49,567
-Come see these for me?
-Yeah, I got you.
235
00:12:49,686 --> 00:12:53,605
Ah, okay, so I...
I have the, uh,
clothes pins for the game.
236
00:12:53,690 --> 00:12:57,075
-Perfect.
-And, I know you told me
not to bake or cook,
237
00:12:57,194 --> 00:13:00,728
but, uh, I had to make
my baby boy blue's
favorite pie.
238
00:13:00,831 --> 00:13:02,197
Pies, I see.
239
00:13:02,282 --> 00:13:04,532
Yeah, well, you know,
he likes everything she makes,
240
00:13:04,618 --> 00:13:07,335
-so she went ahead
and made everything.
-[micah and charley laugh]
241
00:13:08,205 --> 00:13:09,704
he has not been here
for a long time
242
00:13:09,790 --> 00:13:11,790
and he should not
have to choose.
243
00:13:11,875 --> 00:13:15,593
You know what?
You are very right,
he should not.
244
00:13:15,695 --> 00:13:17,011
-Lord.
-Oh!
245
00:13:17,097 --> 00:13:18,713
-[violet laughs]
-oh!
246
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:22,383
You can make anything upscale,
don't you?
247
00:13:22,469 --> 00:13:24,752
Yeah,
you really outdid yourself
this time, charley.
248
00:13:24,855 --> 00:13:26,137
Darla's gonna love this.
249
00:13:26,223 --> 00:13:29,023
-Well, she deserves it.
Doesn't she?
-She certainly does, yeah.
250
00:13:29,109 --> 00:13:30,758
That girl has gone
through a lot.
251
00:13:30,861 --> 00:13:33,278
We should make this day
extra special for her.
252
00:13:34,231 --> 00:13:36,314
-And ralph angel.
-[chuckles] true.
253
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:37,982
[charley and hollywood laugh]
254
00:13:38,068 --> 00:13:40,401
-[hollywood] let me see
about that champagne.
-[hollywood and violet laugh]
255
00:13:43,690 --> 00:13:45,890
I mean, your papi used
to do this all the time.
256
00:13:49,029 --> 00:13:50,261
Sometimes we talk and...
257
00:13:51,832 --> 00:13:55,416
Other times, we...
Barely say anything.
258
00:13:56,203 --> 00:13:58,536
Pops, you can tell me.
259
00:13:59,472 --> 00:14:00,872
I'm getting bigger now.
260
00:14:02,592 --> 00:14:05,844
What's going on?
What are those boxes for?
261
00:14:06,930 --> 00:14:10,732
Are we selling stuff?
Was the harvest bad?
262
00:14:12,419 --> 00:14:17,305
Remember that one time
we was at the playground?
We had the churros?
263
00:14:17,407 --> 00:14:19,157
Me, you and kenya?
264
00:14:19,259 --> 00:14:21,109
-[ralph angel] yeah.
-I remember.
265
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:22,427
[ralph angel chuckles]
266
00:14:22,529 --> 00:14:25,897
-there was a basketball game.
-[ralph angel] that's right.
267
00:14:27,868 --> 00:14:31,035
I remember you ran
across the street
to the liquor store.
268
00:14:32,439 --> 00:14:36,124
-You had told me--
-watch the game.
Count the plays.
269
00:14:37,794 --> 00:14:39,911
Five plays and then,
I can have a churro.
270
00:14:40,814 --> 00:14:43,514
I remember
I was a little scared.
271
00:14:46,119 --> 00:14:48,887
Even though you were
just across the street.
272
00:14:48,972 --> 00:14:50,805
Well, that's 'cause I never
should've left you.
273
00:14:52,125 --> 00:14:53,892
I know that now and I'm sorry.
274
00:14:56,479 --> 00:14:57,979
You know, sometimes in life...
275
00:15:00,116 --> 00:15:03,067
Things will happen,
make you get desperate.
276
00:15:04,821 --> 00:15:07,071
Now, desperation, that's...
277
00:15:08,909 --> 00:15:10,074
Doing things out of fear.
278
00:15:11,962 --> 00:15:13,828
We can't live like that,
you know?
279
00:15:14,965 --> 00:15:16,047
[blue] yeah.
280
00:15:16,166 --> 00:15:16,998
To be honest...
281
00:15:19,002 --> 00:15:21,886
I hate to admit
that I've been living
like that far too long.
282
00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:27,558
I don't want that
for you, son.
You understand me?
283
00:15:28,511 --> 00:15:29,394
Okay.
284
00:15:31,147 --> 00:15:35,199
When I gave you
blue's corner...
I had a vision.
285
00:15:37,170 --> 00:15:43,074
Saw you dreaming, planting.
Doing whatever you wanted.
286
00:15:45,862 --> 00:15:46,861
And I messed up.
287
00:15:49,866 --> 00:15:51,199
'cause I was acting desperate.
288
00:15:53,586 --> 00:15:58,623
I did something
to, you know, put some money,
money in our pockets, but...
289
00:16:02,045 --> 00:16:03,544
I went about it the wrong way.
290
00:16:05,548 --> 00:16:09,467
I was acting desperate
and now I gotta pay
the consequence.
291
00:16:13,139 --> 00:16:17,976
That being said,
we may have to leave the farm.
292
00:16:20,046 --> 00:16:21,045
For a little bit.
293
00:16:21,147 --> 00:16:22,413
Away from our land?
294
00:16:24,067 --> 00:16:25,233
Just for a little while.
295
00:16:27,037 --> 00:16:28,286
But this is home.
296
00:16:32,876 --> 00:16:33,741
I know.
297
00:16:40,333 --> 00:16:44,752
Ralph angel! Blue!
It's time to go now.
298
00:16:53,096 --> 00:16:57,098
Hey.
It's gonna be okay, all right?
299
00:16:58,018 --> 00:16:59,934
-Okay.
-Just take care of mama today.
300
00:17:01,071 --> 00:17:02,603
-Yes, sir.
-All right?
301
00:17:02,689 --> 00:17:04,272
-You got me?
-I got you.
302
00:17:14,868 --> 00:17:17,752
So we stopped at the
black lives matter plaza
303
00:17:17,837 --> 00:17:19,987
and it was so cool
to see in person.
304
00:17:20,090 --> 00:17:22,173
And I went
with my best friend ian.
305
00:17:22,292 --> 00:17:25,493
-Your best friend?
-Yeah, best friend.
306
00:17:25,595 --> 00:17:31,599
Our project on mesopotamia
won first place
in our ancient history class.
307
00:17:31,684 --> 00:17:34,685
And it reminded me
of our community
because we really talked
308
00:17:34,804 --> 00:17:38,839
about how the specialized
skills that the workers
cultivated
309
00:17:38,942 --> 00:17:40,725
really built
the civilization there.
310
00:17:40,810 --> 00:17:42,676
-Liked to hear more of that.
-[charley laughs]
311
00:17:42,779 --> 00:17:44,345
blue, you are just
as wonderful
312
00:17:44,447 --> 00:17:46,364
as your aunt violet
always says.
313
00:17:46,483 --> 00:17:49,067
-I think she's pretty
nice, too.
-[violet laughs]
314
00:17:49,152 --> 00:17:52,070
-oh, I missed you, so much.
-[blue] me, too.
315
00:17:52,155 --> 00:17:53,037
[violet chuckles]
316
00:17:59,329 --> 00:18:00,328
-hey.
-Hey.
317
00:18:01,381 --> 00:18:04,832
-I missed you so much.
-[laughing] I missed you.
318
00:18:04,918 --> 00:18:08,302
-Micah, uh, this is my friend
and neighbor, dominic.
-What's up, man?
319
00:18:08,388 --> 00:18:11,472
Dominic, this is micah, the,
my oldest of my two nephews.
320
00:18:11,558 --> 00:18:14,559
He's a student at xavier
and a budding photographer.
321
00:18:14,677 --> 00:18:16,477
-Nice.
-Good to meet you, man.
Welcome.
322
00:18:16,563 --> 00:18:18,429
-[dominic] thank you,
it's good to be here.
-Yes, of course.
323
00:18:18,515 --> 00:18:20,014
Hey!
324
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:21,566
Hey! [grunts] oh, my god.
325
00:18:21,684 --> 00:18:24,051
[laughing] you've gotten
so big, I can barely
lift you anymore.
326
00:18:24,154 --> 00:18:27,605
Dominic, this is
my other nephew,
the brilliant blue borderlon.
327
00:18:28,358 --> 00:18:29,407
This is for you.
328
00:18:29,526 --> 00:18:31,359
Hi. Here is your clothespin.
329
00:18:31,444 --> 00:18:35,279
So, this is a standard
baby shower game.
330
00:18:35,365 --> 00:18:37,198
So, you wear this clothespin.
331
00:18:37,283 --> 00:18:40,618
And, when you do,
you cannot cross
your arms or your legs.
332
00:18:40,703 --> 00:18:43,955
If you do, someone can take
this clothespin right off you.
333
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,125
And whoever has
the most clothespins
at the end of the game wins.
334
00:18:48,128 --> 00:18:49,377
I assume you're
really good at this.
335
00:18:50,513 --> 00:18:53,080
Hey everybody. Hey. Hi.
336
00:18:53,183 --> 00:18:56,083
Uh, this is dominic. Make him
feel at home.
337
00:18:56,186 --> 00:18:57,084
-Hello.
-Hey.
338
00:18:57,187 --> 00:18:58,719
-Welcome.
-Thank you.
339
00:18:58,805 --> 00:19:01,022
Well, welcome, baby.
340
00:19:01,107 --> 00:19:02,440
-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.
341
00:19:03,977 --> 00:19:07,612
-What up, big brah.
-Robin, nice to meet you.
342
00:19:07,714 --> 00:19:10,198
Hey, congratulations.
343
00:19:10,283 --> 00:19:12,650
-Nice to meet you, brother.
-I'll get you a couple glasses
of wine.
344
00:19:12,735 --> 00:19:14,235
Oh, thank you.
345
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,487
-Uh, hello handsome.
-Yes, isn't he.
346
00:19:16,573 --> 00:19:17,938
Yeah, he is.
347
00:19:18,024 --> 00:19:21,325
I know I've,
uh, been out of town
for a while, but
348
00:19:21,411 --> 00:19:22,660
how'd I miss this news?
349
00:19:22,762 --> 00:19:25,163
It's not quite news yet.
350
00:19:25,248 --> 00:19:26,297
Do you want it to be?
351
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:28,916
I think I do.
352
00:19:29,002 --> 00:19:30,218
[nova] but we'll see.
353
00:19:30,303 --> 00:19:31,802
Taking things slow.
354
00:19:31,921 --> 00:19:33,921
-For a change.
-[both laugh]
355
00:19:39,512 --> 00:19:43,181
alright. Good afternoon,
family, friends.
356
00:19:43,266 --> 00:19:47,101
We, uh, just wanna thank you
for being here today.
357
00:19:47,187 --> 00:19:49,820
A big thank you
to charley and micah
358
00:19:49,939 --> 00:19:52,973
for hosting us. [laughs]
359
00:19:53,076 --> 00:19:54,992
I, uh, I cannot express
360
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:56,861
what it means to us
361
00:19:56,946 --> 00:19:58,996
to share this beautiful space
with you today.
362
00:20:00,283 --> 00:20:02,200
[darla] I look at each
and every one of you.
363
00:20:02,285 --> 00:20:04,035
My heart bursts
364
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:06,754
with memories [sighs softly]
of your support of us.
365
00:20:11,127 --> 00:20:12,677
Mr. Prosper.
366
00:20:12,795 --> 00:20:15,630
You have been
my link to mr. Ernest.
367
00:20:15,715 --> 00:20:19,050
Teaching me all about him
through your remembrances
and stories.
368
00:20:21,304 --> 00:20:22,186
Nova.
369
00:20:23,306 --> 00:20:25,439
You helped us
through schooling
370
00:20:25,525 --> 00:20:27,642
and community engagement,
371
00:20:27,727 --> 00:20:30,895
keeping him tuned in
to our history and legacy
as a people.
372
00:20:34,150 --> 00:20:35,683
[darla] charley.
373
00:20:35,785 --> 00:20:37,668
You have been a champion
for me
374
00:20:38,871 --> 00:20:40,738
and an inspiration to me
375
00:20:41,824 --> 00:20:43,040
in so many ways.
376
00:20:46,045 --> 00:20:47,712
It's difficult
to say how much.
377
00:20:49,299 --> 00:20:50,381
But just know that.
378
00:20:54,554 --> 00:20:55,553
[darla] vi.
379
00:20:59,842 --> 00:21:00,725
Not only
380
00:21:01,844 --> 00:21:02,977
did you raise blue
381
00:21:05,181 --> 00:21:06,130
when we couldn't,
382
00:21:10,103 --> 00:21:11,202
but you were there for me,
383
00:21:13,156 --> 00:21:14,188
more recently,
384
00:21:16,159 --> 00:21:18,276
in ways that pulled me back
from the edge
385
00:21:20,196 --> 00:21:21,696
so that I can stand here now.
386
00:21:25,285 --> 00:21:26,484
[darla sighs softly]
387
00:21:28,755 --> 00:21:30,037
and hollywood.
388
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:34,825
[voice shaking] hollywood.
389
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:38,546
Most people
390
00:21:40,466 --> 00:21:41,499
probably don't know
391
00:21:43,386 --> 00:21:45,102
how I feel about you.
392
00:21:47,724 --> 00:21:49,923
How you single-handedly
393
00:21:50,026 --> 00:21:51,225
tracked me down
394
00:21:52,679 --> 00:21:54,578
and saved me from myself
395
00:21:56,382 --> 00:21:57,648
in my darkest hour.
396
00:22:00,453 --> 00:22:01,786
[whispers] thank you forever.
397
00:22:02,655 --> 00:22:03,521
[darla sniffles]
398
00:22:05,908 --> 00:22:06,741
I love you all.
399
00:22:06,826 --> 00:22:08,626
[laughs sheepishly]
400
00:22:08,745 --> 00:22:10,745
-we love you all.
-That's right.
401
00:22:11,564 --> 00:22:13,331
And we thank you
402
00:22:13,416 --> 00:22:14,765
[inhales]
403
00:22:14,884 --> 00:22:16,000
for this day
404
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,036
and for all of the days.
405
00:22:20,540 --> 00:22:21,505
[all applauding]
406
00:22:31,017 --> 00:22:31,899
[indistinct conversation]
407
00:22:32,018 --> 00:22:33,317
whose that, mr. Blue?
408
00:22:33,403 --> 00:22:35,703
-That is my teacher
miss finley.
-Mm-hm.
409
00:22:35,822 --> 00:22:37,705
She is so cool.
410
00:22:37,807 --> 00:22:39,774
She reminds me of aunt vi.
411
00:22:39,859 --> 00:22:43,327
That's nice. It sounds like
you havin' the time
of your life here in dc, blue.
412
00:22:43,413 --> 00:22:44,745
I am.
413
00:22:44,847 --> 00:22:48,332
I love all the new people
I'm meeting
and everything I'm learning.
414
00:22:48,418 --> 00:22:49,834
We'd love to see it.
415
00:22:51,704 --> 00:22:53,237
Excuse me, mr. Benny.
416
00:22:53,339 --> 00:22:54,955
Hi, mr. Prosper.
417
00:22:56,092 --> 00:22:57,041
I'm sorry. [laughs sheepishly]
418
00:22:58,344 --> 00:23:00,094
but you just
crossed your legs.
419
00:23:00,213 --> 00:23:01,212
[all laughing]
420
00:23:04,550 --> 00:23:08,018
so, I'm gonna have
to take that clothespin
from you.
421
00:23:08,104 --> 00:23:09,586
[clears throat] let me slide?
422
00:23:09,689 --> 00:23:11,639
I'm afraid not.
423
00:23:11,724 --> 00:23:13,590
Rules are rules.
424
00:23:13,693 --> 00:23:14,892
Clothespin.
425
00:23:15,895 --> 00:23:17,061
Thank you.
426
00:23:17,146 --> 00:23:18,312
Don't be
a poor loser, prosper.
427
00:23:19,899 --> 00:23:22,266
You just hang on
to that, okay?
428
00:23:22,368 --> 00:23:23,901
[all chuckling]
429
00:23:23,986 --> 00:23:26,436
[billie] you went by what?
Ten, twelve times?
430
00:23:26,539 --> 00:23:27,488
-More like 20.
-[billie laughs]
431
00:23:27,573 --> 00:23:29,290
-we were wild.
-[billie laughs]
432
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:31,158
-sounds like it.
-[both women laugh]
433
00:23:32,411 --> 00:23:35,129
I'm really glad, uh,
that you're back here.
434
00:23:35,248 --> 00:23:37,248
Back in st. Joe,
even if for a little while.
435
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:40,951
Yeah, well, uh, a little while
might end up being
a little longer.
436
00:23:41,053 --> 00:23:42,419
Daddy wants me to move back.
437
00:23:43,923 --> 00:23:46,390
Things are
a little complicated
back home.
438
00:23:46,476 --> 00:23:49,393
Just trying
to figure things out.
439
00:23:49,479 --> 00:23:52,096
Why can't things be simple?
Like when we were young.
440
00:23:52,181 --> 00:23:54,515
Ooh, young, dumb,
couldn't tell us nothin'.
441
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:55,983
[both women laugh]
442
00:23:56,102 --> 00:23:58,635
you remember all that stuff
we did out in the farm?
443
00:23:58,738 --> 00:24:00,905
I kissed a boy
for the first time.
444
00:24:00,990 --> 00:24:02,523
-We had our first drink.
-[groans]
445
00:24:02,608 --> 00:24:04,808
that's what I'm talkin' about.
This is news I can use.
446
00:24:04,911 --> 00:24:07,411
-We got so drunk.
-[laughs] we threw up.
447
00:24:07,497 --> 00:24:08,746
-I remember.
-[billie laughs]
448
00:24:08,831 --> 00:24:10,614
I think to this day it's
why I don't like gin.
449
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:11,949
[both laughing]
450
00:24:12,952 --> 00:24:15,169
yeah, if this farmland
could talk.
451
00:24:16,706 --> 00:24:17,621
It can.
452
00:24:18,958 --> 00:24:20,674
You just have to speak
its language.
453
00:24:22,011 --> 00:24:22,960
[nova] and you speak it.
454
00:24:23,796 --> 00:24:24,845
It will come back to you.
455
00:24:26,182 --> 00:24:27,298
Thank you, nova.
456
00:24:28,968 --> 00:24:31,101
-So glad you came today.
-I am, too.
457
00:24:34,023 --> 00:24:34,889
[billie laughs]
458
00:24:38,361 --> 00:24:39,226
[indistinct conversation]
459
00:24:43,282 --> 00:24:46,650
what are you ladies doing
out here? The party's inside.
460
00:24:46,736 --> 00:24:48,185
Ol' darla was just, uh,
461
00:24:48,287 --> 00:24:52,156
explaining her current
sleeping arrangements.
462
00:24:52,241 --> 00:24:53,657
The floor.
463
00:24:54,744 --> 00:24:56,210
The what? [laughs]
464
00:24:56,329 --> 00:25:00,197
so, I have finally convinced
ralphie and joe to sleep
on the floor with me.
465
00:25:00,299 --> 00:25:03,584
I mean, it's, it's
the only way I can
get comfortable these days.
466
00:25:03,669 --> 00:25:05,252
-I have so been there.
-Really?
467
00:25:05,338 --> 00:25:08,672
Oh, yeah. My third trimester
there was this certain chair.
468
00:25:08,758 --> 00:25:10,808
That was the only thing
that I could sleep in.
469
00:25:10,893 --> 00:25:15,379
Oh, my, okay, fantastic.
I mean, it's like no one
understands it.
470
00:25:15,481 --> 00:25:18,849
-[charley] yeah.
-But only the moms get it.
471
00:25:19,685 --> 00:25:21,569
[charley chuckles] totally.
472
00:25:23,489 --> 00:25:24,355
[charley laughs]
473
00:25:25,491 --> 00:25:26,523
[exhales]
474
00:25:26,609 --> 00:25:29,526
not, not just the moms.
475
00:25:29,612 --> 00:25:30,945
Oh, it's okay baby.
[laughs nervously]
476
00:25:32,365 --> 00:25:34,448
I'll tell you what.
I am gonna go back inside
477
00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:38,002
and let you two discuss
all that good stuff.
478
00:25:40,423 --> 00:25:43,157
[prosper] what you did,
you mislead people.
479
00:25:43,259 --> 00:25:44,158
-No.
-Yes, you did.
480
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:47,294
-I told--
-yes, you did, yes, you did!
481
00:25:47,380 --> 00:25:48,596
[indistinct shouting]
482
00:25:52,051 --> 00:25:53,183
[all laughing]
483
00:25:57,556 --> 00:25:59,723
-you cheated.
-I did not.
484
00:25:59,809 --> 00:26:02,142
[hollywood] your shoe strings
were crossed, all right?
485
00:26:02,228 --> 00:26:05,262
[blue] that doesn't
mean a thing.
I said arms, legs.
486
00:26:05,364 --> 00:26:06,847
[hollywood] and shoe strings
and eyes.
487
00:26:06,949 --> 00:26:09,650
-[blue] wait.
-[all laughing]
488
00:26:09,735 --> 00:26:10,734
[blue] shoe string!
489
00:26:17,576 --> 00:26:20,711
There you are. You just left.
490
00:26:20,796 --> 00:26:22,296
I didn't think anybody
would notice.
491
00:26:25,418 --> 00:26:27,835
-How are you?
-I'm good.
492
00:26:31,924 --> 00:26:34,475
Come on. Talk to me.
It's just us.
493
00:26:35,745 --> 00:26:36,760
Whassup?
494
00:26:42,101 --> 00:26:44,318
I don't really know how
to put it into words
495
00:26:44,437 --> 00:26:47,604
because I haven't really
fully-formed it in my head.
You know?
496
00:26:48,908 --> 00:26:49,740
Just...
497
00:26:51,944 --> 00:26:54,311
I don't know. I'm confused.
498
00:26:54,413 --> 00:26:56,613
I had a relationship
with a friend
499
00:26:57,950 --> 00:26:59,366
and... I don't know
what to do.
500
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,303
Maybe an objective ear
can help.
501
00:27:03,589 --> 00:27:04,772
I... [laughs nervously]
502
00:27:08,627 --> 00:27:11,345
I have a friend at school
503
00:27:11,464 --> 00:27:14,715
who is probably
the best friend
I've ever had.
504
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,634
Just, like, what you would
think of when you thin
of a best friend. You know?
505
00:27:18,554 --> 00:27:19,636
What we want in a friendship.
506
00:27:19,722 --> 00:27:21,805
Camaraderie. It's the trust.
507
00:27:22,641 --> 00:27:23,507
The laughs.
508
00:27:23,609 --> 00:27:25,859
We learn from each other.
It's really cool.
509
00:27:27,146 --> 00:27:28,445
But...
510
00:27:30,433 --> 00:27:34,902
Something has come up
in the friendship
that's been unexpected.
511
00:27:37,490 --> 00:27:39,823
It's intimacy.
512
00:27:42,211 --> 00:27:48,165
You know, not like sex
or romance.
Just intimacy of emotion.
513
00:27:50,252 --> 00:27:54,388
I wanna tell him everything.
I... [stammers and laughs]
514
00:27:54,507 --> 00:27:58,542
wanna hang with him
all the time. I just feel
genuinely connected to him.
515
00:27:58,644 --> 00:28:04,815
You know? And [exhales]
some people have noticed
that, and...
516
00:28:07,470 --> 00:28:10,687
I let that change
the relationship. Because--
517
00:28:10,773 --> 00:28:14,908
-because you wonder what
the intimacy means.
-Yeah. Like...
518
00:28:15,745 --> 00:28:19,446
Straight up: Am I gay?
Am I fluid?
519
00:28:22,034 --> 00:28:25,986
These are all
new thoughts for me. [exhales]
520
00:28:27,706 --> 00:28:33,410
I hear you.
It's a confusing time
for you. But--
521
00:28:33,512 --> 00:28:36,430
[inhales] you don't have
to let it be
a distressing time.
522
00:28:36,549 --> 00:28:38,015
As in, you don't have
to pin this down
523
00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:42,719
or define yourself forever
right now. Or any time soon.
524
00:28:44,473 --> 00:28:48,108
Or maybe you're putting
too much stress
on the question right now.
525
00:28:48,210 --> 00:28:53,063
Maybe think of this time
as not a question at all.
Maybe think of this time
526
00:28:53,149 --> 00:28:56,200
-as a discovery.
-Mmm. Discovery.
527
00:28:56,285 --> 00:29:00,037
Just continue following
your feelings.
Don't lead your feelings.
528
00:29:00,122 --> 00:29:03,190
Let your feelings lead you.
See where they take you.
Don't stress.
529
00:29:03,292 --> 00:29:05,659
Don't plan. Don't anticipate.
530
00:29:05,744 --> 00:29:08,212
I find that
that kind of clutter
in your mind produces
531
00:29:08,297 --> 00:29:11,114
-false results, you know?
-Yeah. I'm forcing it--
532
00:29:11,217 --> 00:29:13,750
-yes.
-[mutters] forcing it.
533
00:29:13,836 --> 00:29:18,338
I mean, listen.
The story of you is new
each day.
534
00:29:18,424 --> 00:29:20,424
Unfolding each day
for all of us.
535
00:29:21,811 --> 00:29:24,478
There's a problem
with this whole world.
This whole construct.
536
00:29:24,597 --> 00:29:27,964
Half the time, we're trying
to fit into a definition
we've given ourselves
537
00:29:28,067 --> 00:29:29,933
or that others have given us.
538
00:29:35,441 --> 00:29:37,024
I love what you said.
That, like--
539
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,078
you know, follow my feelings.
Don't let them follow me.
540
00:29:44,900 --> 00:29:45,866
Yeah.
541
00:29:48,454 --> 00:29:49,453
Thank you.
542
00:29:53,375 --> 00:29:55,008
I got you, kid.
543
00:30:02,551 --> 00:30:03,967
Always.
544
00:30:05,638 --> 00:30:07,721
-I love you.
-I love you.
545
00:30:16,749 --> 00:30:20,634
See, black people.
We always been resourceful.
546
00:30:20,753 --> 00:30:26,056
And what they do?
They take it. Diamonds.
Oil. Land. Life.
547
00:30:26,141 --> 00:30:28,075
-That's 'cause we got
something they want.
-Always.
548
00:30:28,177 --> 00:30:30,677
We have something
they don't ever have.
549
00:30:30,763 --> 00:30:34,181
You know
they hate our spirit.
Our strength. Our joy--
550
00:30:34,266 --> 00:30:36,683
-sure enough, yes they do.
-[ralph angel] that's 'cause
they ain't got it.
551
00:30:36,769 --> 00:30:40,404
They try so hard to make us
think that we less than.
But we not.
552
00:30:40,489 --> 00:30:44,775
I mean, your ways of thinking.
You know, lay the groundwork.
Tell them the idea.
553
00:30:46,745 --> 00:30:49,196
So, idea's for a co-op.
We stronger together
than we are alone.
554
00:30:49,281 --> 00:30:52,315
But, basically, a co-op
mean we pool
our settlement money
555
00:30:52,418 --> 00:30:55,085
instead of us each having
our own little potatoes,
paying off this and that.
556
00:30:55,170 --> 00:30:58,705
We move past that. One farm.
One crop idea.
We think bigger.
557
00:30:58,791 --> 00:31:02,259
[ralph angel] individually,
we might be able to get
through, what, one harvest?
558
00:31:02,344 --> 00:31:03,710
-[cardale] yeah.
-[ralph angel] maybe two?
559
00:31:03,812 --> 00:31:07,581
But if we put our money
together, maybe we could
get us some control.
560
00:31:07,683 --> 00:31:10,801
And some power.
The whole goal is
to buy up more land
561
00:31:10,886 --> 00:31:13,720
-so we stop living
hand to mouth.
-Wow.
562
00:31:13,806 --> 00:31:16,857
-That's kind of incredible.
-See, I told you none of us
have given up.
563
00:31:16,976 --> 00:31:20,894
Ralph angel presented the idea
to my father couple days ago,
and then dad looped me in.
564
00:31:20,980 --> 00:31:25,015
I did some research
with my firm back in chicago.
Both with your settlement
565
00:31:25,117 --> 00:31:29,653
as a community,
and with the biden-booker
black farmers' rescue plan,
566
00:31:29,738 --> 00:31:32,573
-you all could really
make this work.
-Tell what the plan says.
567
00:31:32,658 --> 00:31:37,160
Any land that should come up
for sale in farming
communities has a first option
568
00:31:37,246 --> 00:31:42,365
for black farmers.
Meaning, if anything should
come up for sale in st. Joe,
569
00:31:42,468 --> 00:31:45,636
each of you would have
the first right to purchase.
[micah] wow.
570
00:31:45,721 --> 00:31:48,672
So you know that outlet mall
that parker and them
was trying to buy?
571
00:31:48,757 --> 00:31:51,808
It fell through
during quarantine. Whole thing
just sitting there.
572
00:31:51,894 --> 00:31:53,393
-[benny] that's good land
over there.
-[cardale] mmm-hmm.
573
00:31:53,512 --> 00:31:56,563
-It surely is.
-Yeah. Now I mean,
we can't do this alone.
574
00:31:56,682 --> 00:31:58,932
-[ralph angel] mmm.
-But ralph's idea, we can do
this together.
575
00:31:59,018 --> 00:32:00,550
-Yeah.
-[prosper] you know?
576
00:32:00,653 --> 00:32:02,603
[scoffs] wasn't my idea,
mr. Prosper.
577
00:32:08,444 --> 00:32:09,443
Something to think about.
578
00:32:15,501 --> 00:32:19,419
Can we think about this later?
Because we've got
a cake to eat,
579
00:32:19,538 --> 00:32:24,391
-and I have more clothespins
to grab. So let's go.
-[all laughing]
580
00:32:30,766 --> 00:32:33,583
[prosper laughs] okay.
[charley] okay.
581
00:32:33,686 --> 00:32:35,135
[cardale] that's your boy.
582
00:32:35,220 --> 00:32:37,104
[ralph angel] that's a nice
little haul, huh?
583
00:32:37,222 --> 00:32:39,189
[darla] everything is
so beautiful.
584
00:32:40,275 --> 00:32:41,558
-I'll take these to the car.
-Okay.
585
00:32:41,644 --> 00:32:42,526
I'll be right back.
586
00:32:44,980 --> 00:32:47,064
-[ralph angel] that big
old bear.
-[blue scoffs]
587
00:32:47,149 --> 00:32:49,599
[ralph angel] bigger than you.
[blue] I don't know
about bigger than me.
588
00:32:49,702 --> 00:32:51,101
[ralph angel chuckles]
589
00:32:51,203 --> 00:32:55,906
you know you can feel free
to just leave your gifts
in the garage here.
590
00:32:55,991 --> 00:32:58,492
I mean, I know
you're packing and...
591
00:32:58,577 --> 00:33:01,828
Isn't all this new stuff
just gonna give you
more to do?
592
00:33:01,914 --> 00:33:08,969
Yes, but, uh. I kind of like
to take everything out
and just see it, you know.
593
00:33:09,088 --> 00:33:14,641
We're doing the best we can,
but, sometimes, it's nice
to reduce and declutter,
594
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:19,563
and... Honestly,
with the space we got,
we really don't have a choice.
595
00:33:19,648 --> 00:33:20,564
So...
596
00:33:24,787 --> 00:33:28,772
-We don't want to meddle.
-We really don't.
597
00:33:28,857 --> 00:33:32,726
I'm not trying to get
in you all's business anymore.
[chuckles] you know?
598
00:33:32,828 --> 00:33:36,279
That's why I haven't said
anything until now.
I'm trying hard
599
00:33:36,365 --> 00:33:38,281
to turn over a new leaf
with ralph angel.
600
00:33:40,252 --> 00:33:45,639
You all are grown,
and I respect your choices
as adults and parents.
601
00:33:45,741 --> 00:33:50,177
-I support you.
-Absolutely. We both do.
602
00:33:50,295 --> 00:33:53,613
And that is why
we just wanna offer some help.
603
00:33:53,716 --> 00:33:55,966
I got a extra room.
Now, you know that.
604
00:33:56,935 --> 00:33:59,936
And blue is on his way
back to school.
605
00:34:00,022 --> 00:34:03,557
That room is large enough
and lovely enough
for the two of you
606
00:34:03,642 --> 00:34:08,562
and the baby. I can keep you
in homecooked meals,
help you with the baby
607
00:34:08,647 --> 00:34:15,152
if you need it. That way,
you don't have to pay no rent.
You can save up.
608
00:34:15,237 --> 00:34:18,939
-Make a real plan.
-It's a terrific option
for you.
609
00:34:19,041 --> 00:34:21,441
And I'm gonna add another one.
610
00:34:21,543 --> 00:34:25,545
I'm gonna be gone
over the next year quite a bit
for my campaign.
611
00:34:25,664 --> 00:34:29,666
You can stay here.
Micah's gonna be back
at the dorms. [laughs]
612
00:34:29,752 --> 00:34:32,836
this place is gonna be sitting
empty, basically.
613
00:34:34,957 --> 00:34:39,893
Whatever you decide,
we just want you to know
that we're here for you.
614
00:34:40,846 --> 00:34:45,348
You're not alone. Okay?
615
00:34:46,351 --> 00:34:49,236
It's just-- thank you.
616
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:53,073
[chuckles] we love you.
617
00:34:54,176 --> 00:34:55,242
We do.
618
00:34:56,145 --> 00:34:58,829
-[violet chuckling]
-[laughs]
619
00:34:59,615 --> 00:35:01,665
-[violet] mmm.
-[charley laughs]
620
00:35:07,372 --> 00:35:08,705
-ahem.
-Thank you.
621
00:35:08,791 --> 00:35:09,673
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
622
00:35:09,758 --> 00:35:11,074
[giggling]
623
00:35:11,176 --> 00:35:13,627
I can't believe
your students turned
this around so fast today.
624
00:35:13,712 --> 00:35:15,295
Yeah. This is what we do.
625
00:35:15,380 --> 00:35:18,381
We have special access
to the collections at both
xavier and tulane's libraries,
626
00:35:18,467 --> 00:35:19,599
so once they knew
what we were looking for,
627
00:35:19,718 --> 00:35:20,934
they zeroed in
on what we needed.
628
00:35:21,053 --> 00:35:22,219
Okay.
629
00:35:22,304 --> 00:35:23,220
What we got?
630
00:35:25,390 --> 00:35:27,140
More evidence came in.
631
00:35:27,242 --> 00:35:28,975
The bones match markers
similar to the remains
632
00:35:29,061 --> 00:35:30,977
at the thibodaux, louisiana
massacre.
633
00:35:31,063 --> 00:35:32,813
In 1887?
634
00:35:32,898 --> 00:35:33,763
Yeah. That's right.
635
00:35:33,866 --> 00:35:34,614
You know about it.
636
00:35:34,733 --> 00:35:35,816
I remember reading
about the history
637
00:35:35,901 --> 00:35:37,767
of local black farmers
trying to join the union,
638
00:35:37,870 --> 00:35:39,119
when I was researching
my book.
639
00:35:39,905 --> 00:35:41,271
They were murdered
and massacred.
640
00:35:41,373 --> 00:35:43,540
By angry white farm owners.
641
00:35:43,625 --> 00:35:44,541
As always.
642
00:35:45,627 --> 00:35:47,744
But, thibodaux is 50 miles
from st. Joe.
643
00:35:47,830 --> 00:35:50,446
Yes. Yes. Except,
644
00:35:50,549 --> 00:35:56,002
multiple massacre has resulted
in unmarked burials
in multiple regions.
645
00:35:56,088 --> 00:36:00,056
So, it's not unlikely
that lesser-developed land
was designated--
646
00:36:00,142 --> 00:36:01,975
-as a mass grave.
-Exactly.
647
00:36:03,762 --> 00:36:06,680
[keyboard clacking]
648
00:36:11,737 --> 00:36:12,853
that cemetery
you mentioned,
649
00:36:12,938 --> 00:36:15,305
when we were on our road-trip
to sweet orchard?
650
00:36:15,390 --> 00:36:18,942
It's in the process
of being registered
as a historical site.
651
00:36:19,027 --> 00:36:21,278
Can we do something
like that with our land?
652
00:36:21,363 --> 00:36:22,279
Yeah, possibly.
653
00:36:22,364 --> 00:36:24,748
The landry's have always
wanted our land.
654
00:36:24,833 --> 00:36:26,666
They wanted to put
a highway through it.
655
00:36:26,785 --> 00:36:28,201
Put a prison.
656
00:36:28,287 --> 00:36:30,921
But, they can't dig up
these freedom fighters
and my mother,
657
00:36:31,006 --> 00:36:33,323
to build some condos,
or an outlet mall, or whatever
658
00:36:33,425 --> 00:36:34,657
twisted bullshit they're into.
659
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,042
This is sacred land.
660
00:36:37,129 --> 00:36:38,211
It always was.
661
00:36:39,681 --> 00:36:41,264
But, even more so now.
662
00:36:41,350 --> 00:36:44,384
We'll need to track down
a contemporaneous record
of the massacre.
663
00:36:44,469 --> 00:36:46,853
-Like, something official
that ties it to the land.
-Hmm.
664
00:36:46,972 --> 00:36:48,722
And we should also look
into the local laws
665
00:36:48,807 --> 00:36:51,558
for registering a landmark
in st. Joe.
666
00:36:51,643 --> 00:36:56,396
Because, if we can prove
historical artifacts,

00:36:56,481 --> 00:37:01,017
then there's a chance
it could be designated as land
that can't be built on.

[ralph laughs] he said
he missed his favorite bed.

Because it always
does the trick.

You know, it's hard not
having it all figured out.

We don't need to.

You and me together,

we'll find a way.

I just figured us,

was too much.

Hmm. They were lovely

Charley said she's gonna
be on the road
697
00:39:29,184 --> 00:39:32,635
and with micah gone,
we'll have the entire place
to ourselves, basically.

We could save our money.

her extra bedroom.

I mean, if you're open to it,

I think it would be
kind of amazing
to have her around.
