1
00:00:00,959 --> 00:00:03,229
Previously on Genius.
2
00:00:03,253 --> 00:00:04,148
It was just
like this with your wife.
3
00:00:04,172 --> 00:00:05,773
Poor Barbara. Bless her soul.
4
00:00:05,797 --> 00:00:07,442
My past ain't
got nothing to do with you.
5
00:00:07,466 --> 00:00:08,818
You had relations with a.
6
00:00:08,842 --> 00:00:10,487
Shut, shut your mouth.
Shut your mouth I said.
7
00:00:10,511 --> 00:00:11,529
You got with...
8
00:00:12,888 --> 00:00:14,073
They put a crown on my head,
9
00:00:14,097 --> 00:00:15,450
and he punched me in my face.
10
00:00:15,474 --> 00:00:16,868
Don't let that queen
stuff get to your head.
11
00:00:16,892 --> 00:00:17,786
I'm going to let
that queen thing go wherever
12
00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:19,037
I want it to.
13
00:00:19,061 --> 00:00:20,747
You've got to
step away from him, baby.
14
00:00:20,771 --> 00:00:22,624
He's dragging you down.
15
00:00:22,648 --> 00:00:24,209
You know I had
six singles on Epic and
16
00:00:24,233 --> 00:00:25,585
not one is charted.
17
00:00:25,609 --> 00:00:27,170
Sometimes I look at you.
18
00:00:27,194 --> 00:00:29,005
Do I even have a chance?
19
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:31,049
Today marked
the fourth day of looting and
20
00:00:31,073 --> 00:00:32,407
arson in Detroit.
21
00:00:33,075 --> 00:00:34,594
They've been telling
me the best way to raise
22
00:00:34,618 --> 00:00:36,387
money is to hold
benefit concerts.
23
00:00:36,411 --> 00:00:38,171
I'd like to join
your tour, Dr. King.
24
00:00:38,830 --> 00:00:40,141
And we'd love to have you.
25
00:00:40,165 --> 00:00:42,101
What you mean you
left your baby at home?
26
00:00:42,125 --> 00:00:44,062
Who you say his Daddy was again?
27
00:00:44,086 --> 00:00:45,355
I knew your mother.
28
00:00:45,379 --> 00:00:47,631
She had the same shine you got.
29
00:00:48,131 --> 00:00:49,609
I don't think
Momma would be proud of me
30
00:00:49,633 --> 00:00:50,985
having a baby.
31
00:00:51,009 --> 00:00:52,487
If your momma was around,
32
00:00:52,511 --> 00:00:54,405
that baby wouldn't
have happened.
33
00:00:54,429 --> 00:00:56,532
Every time I talk
about freedom for our people,
34
00:00:56,556 --> 00:00:59,476
I'm also talking about freedom
of the mind, personal freedom.
35
00:01:00,852 --> 00:01:02,205
Martin Luther King was
36
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:03,957
shot and was killed
tonight in Memphis.
37
00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:12,215
Here she is the queen of the
38
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:13,740
rhythm and blues
Aretha Franklin!

Thank you. Thank you very much.
88
00:03:21,118 --> 00:03:22,804
Aretha!
89
00:03:22,828 --> 00:03:24,305
Wooo, but that was wild.
90
00:03:24,329 --> 00:03:26,349
White folks digging you?
That's a whole new level.
91
00:03:26,373 --> 00:03:28,684
Yes, it is.
Let's take this shit worldwide.
92
00:03:28,708 --> 00:03:30,186
Well, it's funny
you should mention that.
93
00:03:30,210 --> 00:03:32,105
A journalist
contacted me earlier.
94
00:03:32,129 --> 00:03:34,524
He's wanting to do a story on
black singers about the sound
95
00:03:34,548 --> 00:03:36,442
of soul and you're one
of the folks he wants
96
00:03:36,466 --> 00:03:37,485
to talk to.
97
00:03:37,509 --> 00:03:38,528
Now who does he write for?
98
00:03:38,552 --> 00:03:40,345
Time Magazine.
99
00:03:41,054 --> 00:03:42,281
This is international.
100
00:03:42,305 --> 00:03:43,699
Your concert fees
are going to go up.
101
00:03:43,723 --> 00:03:45,618
Now they want to do a
little bit of an interview.
102
00:03:45,642 --> 00:03:46,537
How little?
103
00:03:46,561 --> 00:03:48,037
Half a page.
104
00:03:48,061 --> 00:03:49,580
Well they might
need more than that.
105
00:03:49,604 --> 00:03:50,790
Oh yes, they will.
106
00:03:50,814 --> 00:03:52,083
Come on, Queen. Tell her!
107
00:03:52,107 --> 00:03:54,276
All right, Erma, thank you.

Just got off the phone
with my boss and the
157
00:07:34,162 --> 00:07:36,247
banner's going to read,
"The Sound of Soul."
158
00:07:36,873 --> 00:07:38,976
They want your picture
on the cover because they
159
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,836
want the whole story to
be mostly all about you.
160
00:07:42,921 --> 00:07:44,190
That's what I'm talking about,
161
00:07:44,214 --> 00:07:45,983
a full‐length article, Aretha.
162
00:07:46,007 --> 00:07:48,361
That's a lot of
people reading about me.
163
00:07:48,385 --> 00:07:49,820
You're not just part
of the sound of soul;
164
00:07:49,844 --> 00:07:52,847
you are the sound of soul.
165
00:07:53,390 --> 00:07:54,950
Congratulations.
166
00:07:54,974 --> 00:07:56,142
God.
167
00:08:02,524 --> 00:08:06,152
So, take the word, His word,

00:08:06,903 --> 00:08:08,714
and you let it fill up your day.
169
00:08:08,738 --> 00:08:10,299
Fill up your every thought.
170
00:08:10,323 --> 00:08:11,884
Preach it, Reverend Franklin.
171
00:08:11,908 --> 00:08:13,135
You all ain't listening to me.
172
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:15,245
Oh amen, yeah, yeah, yeah.
173
00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:17,914
I said let it

174

Fill up your every deed so
you are like the right hand
175

00:08:24,629 --> 00:08:26,982
- Amen.

180
00:08:30,927 --> 00:08:32,738
My brothers and sisters,
181
00:08:32,762 --> 00:08:35,408
I would like you to welcome
my devoted wife, Barbara,
182
00:08:35,432 --> 00:08:36,909
who will lead us in song.
183
00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:38,935
Amen.

Amen.
201
00:09:59,557 --> 00:10:01,101
Yes, Barbara.
202
00:10:02,936 --> 00:10:05,855
Amen, amen.
203
00:10:08,775 --> 00:10:11,170
Reverend Franklin,
you give a fine, fine sermon.
204
00:10:11,194 --> 00:10:12,630
My favorite passage,
205
00:10:12,654 --> 00:10:16,616
"We are a proud race who
need not bow down to any soul."
206
00:10:17,826 --> 00:10:19,261
Is she singing to him?
207
00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:21,430
Setting my heart
racing, Reverend, for justice.
208
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:23,182
Amen.
209
00:10:23,206 --> 00:10:25,166
Thank you, Reverend.
210
00:10:29,504 --> 00:10:31,631
So have you
picked out names yet?
211
00:10:32,048 --> 00:10:34,175
If it's a boy
we'll name him Clarence
212
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:35,736
after the reverend, of course.
213
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,988
And if it's a girl?
214
00:10:38,012 --> 00:10:40,098
Aretha. It's a family name.
215
00:10:40,515 --> 00:10:42,767
Oh, beautiful.
216
00:10:43,768 --> 00:10:46,271
That was a good sermon, son.
217
00:10:47,021 --> 00:10:48,082
Thank you, Momma.
218
00:10:48,106 --> 00:10:49,542
Where are Erma and Cecil?
219
00:10:49,566 --> 00:10:51,210
I couldn't
get them out of the playroom
220
00:10:51,234 --> 00:10:53,278
with Sister Margaret
and their tambourines.
221
00:10:53,611 --> 00:10:54,548
Pleasure to meet you.
222
00:10:54,572 --> 00:10:55,631
Likewise.
223
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:56,966
You should be very
proud of your son.
224
00:10:56,990 --> 00:10:58,175
We are indeed.
225
00:10:58,199 --> 00:10:59,677
I wonder who that man is.
226
00:10:59,701 --> 00:11:01,512
Got a nice suit on.
227
00:11:01,536 --> 00:11:02,847
We'll be in touch, Reverend.
228
00:11:02,871 --> 00:11:04,455
Thank you.
229
00:11:04,998 --> 00:11:07,852
Almost feels too
quiet with them both asleep.
230
00:11:07,876 --> 00:11:08,936
It's going to
get pretty noisy when the
231
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,437
new one gets here.
232
00:11:10,461 --> 00:11:11,730
I can't wait.
233
00:11:11,754 --> 00:11:14,108
Me either.
234
00:11:14,132 --> 00:11:16,485
What'd you think
about my sermon?
235
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:18,070
- I - particularly liked the
236
00:11:18,094 --> 00:11:20,322
5 through 6 passage.
237
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:24,326
"God alone is the mighty
rock that keeps me safe.
238
00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:26,352
He is the fortress
where I feel secure."
239
00:11:27,854 --> 00:11:30,541
That complemented
my theme of self‐reliance.
240
00:11:30,565 --> 00:11:32,793
Beautifully.
241
00:11:32,817 --> 00:11:35,379
And I appreciate
you choosing that hymn,
242
00:11:35,403 --> 00:11:38,674
although in my mind
I think you should have
243
00:11:38,698 --> 00:11:40,366
sung another verse.
244
00:11:43,161 --> 00:11:45,639
So, you gonna
tell me who the man in the
245
00:11:45,663 --> 00:11:47,641
nice suit was or you
gonna keep me wondering?
246
00:11:47,665 --> 00:11:49,560
Is he from the radio station?
247
00:11:49,584 --> 00:11:50,769
Uh, no.
248
00:11:50,793 --> 00:11:52,980
You are, you are not
going to believe this,
249
00:11:53,004 --> 00:11:55,858
but he was from Nashville NAACP.
250
00:11:55,882 --> 00:11:58,027
Was he lost?
251
00:11:58,051 --> 00:11:59,820
That's what I thought.
252
00:11:59,844 --> 00:12:01,822
But two weeks from now
they want me to come down and
253
00:12:01,846 --> 00:12:03,574
speak to the leadership council.
254
00:12:03,598 --> 00:12:05,618
They think I can be a
voice for our people.
255
00:12:05,642 --> 00:12:08,186
Oh, honey, I'm so proud of you.
256
00:12:08,770 --> 00:12:09,788
That's wonderful.
257
00:12:09,812 --> 00:12:11,874
Thank you, baby.
258
00:12:11,898 --> 00:12:14,585
What's that look for?
259
00:12:14,609 --> 00:12:16,837
What's worrying you?
260
00:12:16,861 --> 00:12:19,298
I just, just
wouldn't want the world to
261
00:12:19,322 --> 00:12:21,342
pull you away from us too much.
262
00:12:21,366 --> 00:12:22,760
You don't have
to worry about that.
263
00:12:22,784 --> 00:12:25,846
Besides, I told them that
I'm only coming if it's
264
00:12:25,870 --> 00:12:27,723
the two of us.
265
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:30,392
I told them to find some
accommodations at a very
266
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:32,186
lovely establishment nearby.
267
00:12:32,210 --> 00:12:35,255
What would I do in Nashville?
268
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:38,466
We are a team.
269
00:12:39,384 --> 00:12:43,304
A wife of noble character she's
worth far more than rubies,
270
00:12:45,974 --> 00:12:48,935
but good things
are coming for us, Barbara.
271
00:12:49,894 --> 00:12:52,063
That too.
272
00:13:00,655 --> 00:13:03,741
To you on the cover
right where you belong.
273
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:06,011
I still can't believe it.
274
00:13:06,035 --> 00:13:07,805
Now, remember this is
not Jet or Ebony so they're
275
00:13:07,829 --> 00:13:09,431
not going to be asking
softball questions.
276
00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:11,517
Time Magazine is going to
ask what they want to ask.
277
00:13:11,541 --> 00:13:13,102
Not to worry, Ruth,
you're going to have all
278
00:13:13,126 --> 00:13:14,687
the right answers.
279
00:13:14,711 --> 00:13:16,146
Look, baby, you deserve it.
280
00:13:16,170 --> 00:13:18,315
You got more top ten hits
than any black singer ever.
281
00:13:18,339 --> 00:13:20,550
We're big time now.
282
00:13:21,634 --> 00:13:23,469
Hey, hey.
283
00:13:23,970 --> 00:13:25,656
Private party, friend.
284
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:27,157
I want to dance
with the Queen of Soul.
285
00:13:27,181 --> 00:13:28,076
Yeah, well, not tonight, buddy.
286
00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:29,243
Come on, Queen.
287
00:13:29,267 --> 00:13:30,619
I buy your records.
Dance with me.
288
00:13:30,643 --> 00:13:31,620
Don't touch me.
289
00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:33,497
Get off me. You can't touch me.
290
00:13:33,521 --> 00:13:34,623
What the hell?
291
00:13:34,647 --> 00:13:36,166
Folks can't have
a drink in peace?
292
00:13:36,190 --> 00:13:37,334
Shouldn't go to your
favorite spot if you're trying
293
00:13:37,358 --> 00:13:38,794
to duck the press.
294
00:13:38,818 --> 00:13:40,504
You really going
to do this to me, Sis?
295
00:13:41,988 --> 00:13:43,708
Tabloids will
pay a fortune for this.
296
00:13:44,907 --> 00:13:46,409
Is that Aretha Franklin?
297
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,209
Who died?
298
00:14:19,233 --> 00:14:22,880
My career.
299
00:14:22,904 --> 00:14:24,906
Well, maybe this
will cheer you up.
300
00:14:25,406 --> 00:14:27,176
Photos from that
paparazzi woman of you
301
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,719
shoving that drunk.
302
00:14:28,743 --> 00:14:29,803
Thank you.
303
00:14:29,827 --> 00:14:30,846
Don't ask me how much it cost.
304
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:32,389
Thank you, baby.
305
00:14:32,413 --> 00:14:34,058
This could have
ruined everything.
306
00:14:34,082 --> 00:14:35,476
Maybe I shouldn't
do this Time thing.
307
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:36,977
I don't exactly like reporters.
308
00:14:37,001 --> 00:14:39,480
Hey, hey, hey,
you're going to do it.
309
00:14:39,504 --> 00:14:41,857
You just ain't going to
leave nothing to chance.
310
00:14:41,881 --> 00:14:45,110
All right, well,
we'll invite the reporter
311
00:14:45,134 --> 00:14:46,403
here and put on a show.
312
00:14:46,427 --> 00:14:48,554
Mm‐hmm.
313
00:14:49,097 --> 00:14:50,199
Help me clean up.
314
00:14:50,223 --> 00:14:53,101
Whatever you say, Queen.
315
00:14:59,065 --> 00:15:00,876
Come on now, everybody, listen.
316
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:04,379
No, no, nobody is
going to mess this up.
317
00:15:04,403 --> 00:15:05,798
Re.
318
00:15:05,822 --> 00:15:07,257
We know how to get through
one dinner with a reporter
319
00:15:07,281 --> 00:15:08,759
without making
fools of ourselves.
320
00:15:08,783 --> 00:15:09,802
You sure about that?
321
00:15:09,826 --> 00:15:11,303
Don't worry about me.
322
00:15:11,327 --> 00:15:12,638
Carolyn's going to
be sorry she missed this one.
323
00:15:12,662 --> 00:15:14,056
Oh well, she's very
happily in the studio
324
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,499
recording "Baby Dynamite",
but I'm here for you, Sis.
325
00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:18,936
Re's right.
We have to have her back.
326
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,563
The cover story in
Time Magazine!
327
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:23,107
That's really something.
328
00:15:23,131 --> 00:15:24,858
Um, Cecil, can you run
point if the conversation lags?
329
00:15:24,882 --> 00:15:26,527
I'll tell a story about
how you would hide from the
330
00:15:26,551 --> 00:15:28,654
piano teacher because you liked
playing more than lessons.
331
00:15:28,678 --> 00:15:30,656
And, and Ruth,
if he starts to talk about
332
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,698
the business side of things.
333
00:15:31,722 --> 00:15:32,783
I'll mention your tour dates.
334
00:15:32,807 --> 00:15:34,243
Thank you.
335
00:15:34,267 --> 00:15:35,786
And, Daddy, you just talk
about my musical background
336
00:15:35,810 --> 00:15:38,122
and my upbringing in the
church, nothing more.
337
00:15:38,146 --> 00:15:39,748
No, no, no.
338
00:15:39,772 --> 00:15:41,208
Well, I'm going to
talk about how your father was
339
00:15:41,232 --> 00:15:43,418
a sharecropper to put food
on the table for his family.
340
00:15:43,442 --> 00:15:45,129
And how the man cheated him.
341
00:15:45,153 --> 00:15:47,923
No, no, Big Mamma,
um, just happy,
342
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:49,967
upbeat stories only.
343
00:15:49,991 --> 00:15:51,844
Don't worry, baby
girl, just feed us the line.
344
00:15:51,868 --> 00:15:53,262
We'll do whatever you want.
345
00:15:53,286 --> 00:15:54,388
I promise you this Time
reporter's going to see
346
00:15:54,412 --> 00:15:55,764
a perfect life,
347
00:15:55,788 --> 00:15:57,432
your perfect family or
I'm going to kill somebody
348
00:15:57,456 --> 00:16:00,144
trying to make it.
349
00:16:00,168 --> 00:16:01,687
After you get this
worry off your plate.
350
00:16:01,711 --> 00:16:03,021
I want you to come home.
351
00:16:03,045 --> 00:16:04,439
There's some young brothers
I want you to meet.
352
00:16:04,463 --> 00:16:06,358
They're taking up the
cause of our people.
353
00:16:06,382 --> 00:16:09,927
They call themselves
the Republic of New Afrika.
354
00:16:10,595 --> 00:16:12,322
Daddy don't be dragging
Aretha into those people.
355
00:16:12,346 --> 00:16:13,866
Okay, some of their
ideas are pretty radical.
356
00:16:13,890 --> 00:16:15,492
They, they fine young men.
357
00:16:15,516 --> 00:16:18,537
They, they, they dedicated
to uplifting our people.
358
00:16:18,561 --> 00:16:19,580
After the dinner tonight,
359
00:16:19,604 --> 00:16:20,622
we can talk about schedule.
360
00:16:20,646 --> 00:16:22,124
Okay.
361
00:16:22,148 --> 00:16:23,667
Aretha, it'll be fine.
We'll all play our parts.
362
00:16:23,691 --> 00:16:24,668
Why are you looking at me?
363
00:16:24,692 --> 00:16:25,836
Well, because, Daddy,
364
00:16:25,860 --> 00:16:27,612
you said you're going
to kill somebody.
365
00:16:28,362 --> 00:16:31,508
Bless this family, oh God.
366
00:16:31,532 --> 00:16:34,952
And we ask in the precious
name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
367
00:16:35,369 --> 00:16:36,555
Amen.
368
00:16:36,579 --> 00:16:38,307
Amen.
369
00:16:38,331 --> 00:16:39,725
So I'm curious.
370
00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:41,560
Why did it take you
over a year to record the
371
00:16:41,584 --> 00:16:42,811
'Preacher Man' song?
372
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:44,104
My father being a pastor,
373
00:16:44,128 --> 00:16:46,064
I didn't think it
was appropriate.
374
00:16:46,088 --> 00:16:47,608
Didn't quite seem respectful.
375
00:16:47,632 --> 00:16:49,109
A little racy.
376
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:50,736
Your father's an important man.
377
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,070
She told me about it.
378
00:16:52,094 --> 00:16:54,406
I, I liked the tune,
but and plus she's going to
379
00:16:54,430 --> 00:16:56,366
make it a big hit.
380
00:16:56,390 --> 00:16:58,410
Do you have to
approve of all her music?
381
00:16:58,434 --> 00:17:00,537
No, and honestly,
382
00:17:00,561 --> 00:17:02,372
I don't sing anything
I don't like.
383
00:17:02,396 --> 00:17:05,209
When we were kids,
the girls would sing and dance
384
00:17:05,233 --> 00:17:07,169
and work out all the moves.
385
00:17:07,193 --> 00:17:09,445
We'd even let Cecil
join in from time to time.
386
00:17:09,987 --> 00:17:12,174
They would take
turns singing the lead.
387
00:17:12,198 --> 00:17:14,426
Except when I had
to steal the microphone
388
00:17:14,450 --> 00:17:16,887
from Aretha's hand.
389
00:17:16,911 --> 00:17:18,764
Everybody whoever
heard little Re sing knew she
390
00:17:18,788 --> 00:17:20,057
was going to be a star.
391
00:17:20,081 --> 00:17:21,683
Oh, from
her first solo in church.
392
00:17:21,707 --> 00:17:23,185
Yeah, she was a
little itty bitty thing.
393
00:17:23,209 --> 00:17:24,436
I remember the first time.
394
00:17:24,460 --> 00:17:26,796
Ted, let's let
the family tell the story.
395
00:17:29,632 --> 00:17:31,068
Yeah, cause you
were more focused on Dinah
396
00:17:31,092 --> 00:17:33,261
back then, remember?
397
00:17:34,011 --> 00:17:35,447
Was that Dinah Washington?
398
00:17:35,471 --> 00:17:37,491
Yes, it was, but, uh,
399
00:17:37,515 --> 00:17:39,117
we don't want to have to
get started on that cause
400
00:17:39,141 --> 00:17:40,619
we'll be off topic.
401
00:17:40,643 --> 00:17:44,689
To my daughter who busts my
chest with pride every day.
402
00:17:45,398 --> 00:17:47,441
To Aretha.
403
00:17:53,114 --> 00:17:54,841
You are a
family that genuinely cares
404
00:17:54,865 --> 00:17:56,593
about each other.
405
00:17:56,617 --> 00:17:58,011
Thank you for having
me in your home.
406
00:17:58,035 --> 00:17:59,388
Oh, you can quit
all that formal stuff.
407
00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:00,764
You done had
Aretha's fried chicken.
408
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:02,432
You're practically family.
409
00:18:02,456 --> 00:18:03,600
That was your cooking?
410
00:18:03,624 --> 00:18:04,768
I thought that was catered.
411
00:18:04,792 --> 00:18:06,144
Oh, honey, I love to cook.
412
00:18:06,168 --> 00:18:07,729
Oh, what are some
of your favorite dishes?
413
00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:11,173
Fried chicken, uh,
cornbread, peach cobbler.
414
00:18:11,549 --> 00:18:12,651
Can't get enough
of that peach cobbler.
415
00:18:12,675 --> 00:18:13,944
Shh, Ted stop it.
416
00:18:13,968 --> 00:18:15,404
No, come on, tell me more.
417
00:18:15,428 --> 00:18:17,406
I like barbecue,
so when we're on the road
418
00:18:17,430 --> 00:18:19,491
I try to find a
good barbecue spot.
419
00:18:19,515 --> 00:18:23,829
Now what is a
typical day in the life of the
420
00:18:23,853 --> 00:18:26,248
Queen of Soul?
421
00:18:26,272 --> 00:18:28,667
Well, I'm,
I'm in a studio a lot,
422
00:18:28,691 --> 00:18:31,235
so I rehearse, and I record.
423
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:33,088
Are you an early bird?
424
00:18:33,112 --> 00:18:35,299
Oh no, she's a late starter.
425
00:18:35,323 --> 00:18:37,533
But what artist isn't?
426
00:18:39,952 --> 00:18:42,163
Did you learn
cooking from your mother?
427
00:18:45,499 --> 00:18:47,835
I did.
428
00:18:48,085 --> 00:18:50,814
I know she died
when you were very young.
429
00:18:50,838 --> 00:18:53,716
I hope she had time to pass
on some of her loves to you.
430
00:18:54,592 --> 00:18:58,596
She did, um,
music and piano playing.
431
00:19:00,848 --> 00:19:03,368
Those were her loves.
432
00:19:03,392 --> 00:19:08,272
Losing her mom at such
a young age; it's hard.
433
00:19:10,524 --> 00:19:13,170
She was wonderful.
434
00:19:13,194 --> 00:19:17,615
We were very close, so
yes, it was devastating.
435
00:19:21,494 --> 00:19:25,265
Some folks can help make
this country a better place.
436
00:19:25,289 --> 00:19:27,225
They know what the ill's are.
437
00:19:27,249 --> 00:19:29,102
They know what the problems are,
438
00:19:29,126 --> 00:19:31,438
but they don't take action.
439
00:19:31,462 --> 00:19:32,564
Speak the truth, pastor.
440
00:19:32,588 --> 00:19:35,025
To do nothing is easy.
441
00:19:35,049 --> 00:19:36,109
Yes.
442
00:19:36,133 --> 00:19:38,779
To shun your
responsibility is easy.
443
00:19:38,803 --> 00:19:40,781
See there's some
folks in this country.
444
00:19:40,805 --> 00:19:42,282
They don't want things improved.
445
00:19:42,306 --> 00:19:43,575
That's right, reverend.
446
00:19:43,599 --> 00:19:45,369
But when you are
doing the righteous work,
447
00:19:45,393 --> 00:19:47,162
be like Nehemiah.
448
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:49,665
You tell these doubters
I am doing great work and
449
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:51,541
I will not come down.
450
00:19:51,565 --> 00:19:52,959
You are our doctors.
451
00:19:52,983 --> 00:19:56,004
You are our lawyers and
you are our business owners.
452
00:19:56,028 --> 00:19:59,132
You tell these naysayers
that I am doing great work
453
00:19:59,156 --> 00:20:00,533
and I will not stand down.
454
00:20:01,742 --> 00:20:04,286
Do great work for our people.
455
00:20:05,871 --> 00:20:07,349
Are you prepared
for what's coming,
456
00:20:07,373 --> 00:20:09,059
for what his rise will mean?
457
00:20:09,083 --> 00:20:10,644
I try to be a good helpmate.
458
00:20:10,668 --> 00:20:12,688
But you also have to
get ready for the harsh glare
459
00:20:12,712 --> 00:20:14,231
of the limelight.
460
00:20:14,255 --> 00:20:16,233
Cause this isn't all
fine houses and furnishings.
461
00:20:16,257 --> 00:20:17,734
You have to make a tradeoff.
462
00:20:17,758 --> 00:20:19,152
Your family's privacy
463
00:20:19,176 --> 00:20:20,779
in exchange for your
husband's celebrity.
464
00:20:20,803 --> 00:20:22,155
It won't be easy.
465
00:20:22,179 --> 00:20:24,449
I love Reverend
Franklin for who he is and
466
00:20:24,473 --> 00:20:26,868
what he can do for our people.
467
00:20:26,892 --> 00:20:29,246
Cling to that
then because it's clear.
468
00:20:29,270 --> 00:20:31,313
He soon won't be just your man.
469
00:20:31,939 --> 00:20:35,317
He'll belong to the world.
470
00:20:41,490 --> 00:20:42,801
You were amazing.
471
00:20:42,825 --> 00:20:44,428
Thank you, baby, thank you.
472
00:20:44,452 --> 00:20:47,180
You know I just
feel like you belong here.
473
00:20:47,204 --> 00:20:48,682
Uh, we belong here.
474
00:20:48,706 --> 00:20:50,684
Look at these houses.
475
00:20:50,708 --> 00:20:51,977
How about you pick?
476
00:20:52,001 --> 00:20:53,961
I'm going to pick one.
477
00:21:01,594 --> 00:21:03,238
Can I help you gentlemen?
478
00:21:03,262 --> 00:21:05,323
We followed you up from Memphis.
479
00:21:05,347 --> 00:21:08,225
Seems like you've
got a lot to say.
480
00:21:08,601 --> 00:21:09,578
I'm here at the invitation...
481
00:21:09,602 --> 00:21:12,271
Yeah, we know why you're here.
482
00:21:13,314 --> 00:21:14,833
Yeah, that's right, nigger.
483
00:21:14,857 --> 00:21:17,085
We heard about what
you were saying.
484
00:21:17,109 --> 00:21:19,278
We got ears everywhere.
485
00:21:20,571 --> 00:21:22,257
It'd be a shame if
something was to happen just
486
00:21:22,281 --> 00:21:24,408
cause he can't keep
his mouth shut.
487
00:21:27,745 --> 00:21:30,080
You all have a good night.
488
00:21:33,209 --> 00:21:39,256
♪ That's why darling
it's so incredible ♪
489
00:21:43,677 --> 00:21:48,724
♪ That someone so unforgetable
490
00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:55,189
♪ Thinks that ♪♪
491
00:21:55,523 --> 00:21:56,958
"She sleeps till noon,
492
00:21:56,982 --> 00:21:58,919
then mopes in front
of the television set,
493
00:21:58,943 --> 00:22:01,880
chain smoking
and snacking compulsively."
494
00:22:01,904 --> 00:22:04,591
"Her mother
deserted the family and died.

Later, two shocks that
deeply scarred the shy,

00:22:07,576 --> 00:22:08,595
withdrawn girl."
497
00:22:08,619 --> 00:22:10,663
Our mother never deserted us.
498
00:22:13,332 --> 00:22:16,585
Her husband, a former
street corner wheeler dealer...
499
00:22:17,628 --> 00:22:19,940
Last year, Aretha's
husband, Ted White,
500
00:22:19,964 --> 00:22:21,107
roughed her up in public.
501
00:22:21,131 --> 00:22:22,526
It was not the
first such incident.
502
00:22:22,550 --> 00:22:27,888
Why, why, why would he
say this that, that I'm,
503
00:22:28,305 --> 00:22:30,492
that I'm obsessed with
soap operas, that,
504
00:22:30,516 --> 00:22:32,369
that my songs are all about sex?
505
00:22:32,393 --> 00:22:34,955
Cause it's a piece of
trash written by a no‐account
506
00:22:34,979 --> 00:22:37,082
white man and after we
let him into our house.
507
00:22:37,106 --> 00:22:38,500
I knew we shouldn't
have trusted him.
508
00:22:38,524 --> 00:22:39,501
We didn't trust him.
509
00:22:39,525 --> 00:22:40,710
We didn't trust him.
510
00:22:40,734 --> 00:22:42,921
Uh, we were careful
about the way we spoke,
511
00:22:42,945 --> 00:22:44,798
what we said, how we acted.
512
00:22:44,822 --> 00:22:46,341
We'll just go back
into the studio and make hits.
513
00:22:46,365 --> 00:22:47,551
That's what we do.
514
00:22:47,575 --> 00:22:48,718
How the hell did
he know all this shit?
515
00:22:48,742 --> 00:22:52,454
Did, did, did you speak
to him by yourself?
516
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:55,267
He called me, yeah.
517
00:22:55,291 --> 00:22:57,727
He called everybody.
You know that.
518
00:22:57,751 --> 00:22:59,938
And what did you tell him, Ted?
519
00:22:59,962 --> 00:23:02,339
Nothing.
520
00:23:06,260 --> 00:23:09,781
I told him the Queen's
favorite takeout,
521
00:23:09,805 --> 00:23:11,324
the Queen's favorite shows.
522
00:23:11,348 --> 00:23:13,285
He acted like I was a gopher
talking to me about that crap.
523
00:23:13,309 --> 00:23:14,786
Did you tell him
about our personal life?
524
00:23:14,810 --> 00:23:18,898
Why would I tell him that, huh?
525
00:23:19,899 --> 00:23:21,334
I got your back, baby.
You know that.
526
00:23:21,358 --> 00:23:22,544
Answer the question, Ted.
527
00:23:22,568 --> 00:23:23,712
What did you tell him?
528
00:23:23,736 --> 00:23:26,238
I made nice like
you told me to do.
529
00:23:26,906 --> 00:23:29,134
He was only acting
friendly and you fell for it?
530
00:23:29,158 --> 00:23:30,218
I fell for it.
531
00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:32,345
You fell for it.
We all fell for it.
532
00:23:32,369 --> 00:23:33,763
I don't know why the
Franklins act like they're
533
00:23:33,787 --> 00:23:36,290
so much better
than everybody else.
534
00:23:36,957 --> 00:23:39,728
You was pregnant
when you was 12.
535
00:23:39,752 --> 00:23:42,522
Your Momma left you and
probably died of heartbreak
536
00:23:42,546 --> 00:23:44,399
because your Daddy
couldn't keep his business
537
00:23:44,423 --> 00:23:45,901
out the streets.
538
00:23:45,925 --> 00:23:47,777
- I can't believe this.
- That's your life, Re.
539
00:23:47,801 --> 00:23:50,304
- Cannot believe this.
- Deal.
540
00:23:59,730 --> 00:24:01,649
It's good to be home.
541
00:24:01,899 --> 00:24:03,710
So come and meet Daddy's guests.
542
00:24:03,734 --> 00:24:04,878
I don't know.
543
00:24:04,902 --> 00:24:06,671
They're a group of young men,
544
00:24:06,695 --> 00:24:09,132
very passionate
about their politics.
545
00:24:09,156 --> 00:24:11,676
They even have a catchy name,
546
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:13,136
Republic of New Afrika.
547
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,512
I'm not up
for meeting new people.
548
00:24:14,536 --> 00:24:15,889
Re, the Time Magazine
549
00:24:15,913 --> 00:24:17,057
thing will blow
over soon enough.
550
00:24:17,081 --> 00:24:18,808
That's easy for you to say.
551
00:24:18,832 --> 00:24:20,268
That's not your face
splashed all over the front
of the magazine.
552
00:24:20,292 --> 00:24:22,020
And I'm not releasing
"Son of a Preacher Man".
553
00:24:22,044 --> 00:24:23,855
Hold on, it's a good song.
554
00:24:23,879 --> 00:24:25,190
It's too controversial.
555
00:24:25,214 --> 00:24:26,858
It's going to live on the shelf.
556
00:24:26,882 --> 00:24:28,068
You've got
to get Jet or Ebony to do
557
00:24:28,092 --> 00:24:29,653
a puff piece,
something to take the stink off.
558
00:24:29,677 --> 00:24:31,446
You all need to
understand there's no such
559
00:24:31,470 --> 00:24:32,822
thing as bad press.
560
00:24:32,846 --> 00:24:34,616
I've been getting more
calls to book her than ever,
561
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,409
Las Vegas, more dates in Europe.
562
00:24:36,433 --> 00:24:37,911
Offers are pouring in.
563
00:24:37,935 --> 00:24:39,913
Which means the real
people are with you, Sis,
564
00:24:39,937 --> 00:24:41,957
no matter what somebody
puts in some magazine.
565
00:24:41,981 --> 00:24:43,667
Tell you what.
566
00:24:43,691 --> 00:24:45,293
I'm going to contact
some lawyers to take out
a lawsuit against them.
567
00:24:45,317 --> 00:24:46,503
We ain't going to stand for it.
568
00:24:46,527 --> 00:24:47,921
- Thank you, Daddy.
- Now come on.
569
00:24:47,945 --> 00:24:49,297
I want to introduce you
to these young men out here.
570
00:24:49,321 --> 00:24:51,841
They're the voice of the
new generation and unlike
571
00:24:51,865 --> 00:24:54,827
Time Magazine these
folks was vetted by me.
572
00:25:03,252 --> 00:25:05,004
The Republic of New Africa?
573
00:25:05,295 --> 00:25:07,691
♪ I don't care
about money too much ♪♪
574
00:25:07,715 --> 00:25:09,609
I'm not disrespecting
the elders, but the
575
00:25:09,633 --> 00:25:11,277
Republic of New Afrika
576
00:25:11,301 --> 00:25:13,863
believes we have to fight as
guerillas and soldiers to hold
577
00:25:13,887 --> 00:25:15,365
the land to
protect our sovereignty.
578
00:25:15,389 --> 00:25:17,158
Are you suggesting
that black people take up arms?
579
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:18,368
If we're met with violence,
580
00:25:18,392 --> 00:25:19,786
then we will respond
with violence.
581
00:25:19,810 --> 00:25:21,371
You seem very
dismissive of Dr. King's
582
00:25:21,395 --> 00:25:22,539
nonviolent approach.
583
00:25:22,563 --> 00:25:24,124
Dr. King was a patsy to the man,
584
00:25:24,148 --> 00:25:26,918
they used him to quell our
legitimate discontent just
585
00:25:26,942 --> 00:25:29,737
like your music is sometimes
used to pacify people.
586
00:25:30,070 --> 00:25:32,132
Excuse me?
My music ain't a pacifier.
587
00:25:32,156 --> 00:25:33,466
And Dr. King...
588
00:25:33,490 --> 00:25:35,010
What I mean is
they're not going to give
589
00:25:35,034 --> 00:25:36,636
our leaders real power.
590
00:25:36,660 --> 00:25:38,972
They tore down King and that
Time article denigrated and
591
00:25:38,996 --> 00:25:41,016
disrespected you.
592
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,517
White men can't stand
to see a black woman
593
00:25:42,541 --> 00:25:43,768
have real power.
594
00:25:43,792 --> 00:25:44,978
White men
aren't the only people who
595
00:25:45,002 --> 00:25:47,796
have trouble seeing
a strong black woman.
596
00:25:52,426 --> 00:25:54,845
Let me refresh your drink.
597
00:26:02,352 --> 00:26:04,414
Now I lay me down to sleep.
598
00:26:04,438 --> 00:26:06,583
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
599
00:26:06,607 --> 00:26:09,335
and if I die before I wake,
600
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,005
I pray the Lord my soul to take.
601
00:26:12,029 --> 00:26:15,449
Lord, keep all those
who we love safe.
602
00:26:17,326 --> 00:26:19,703
What do you want to
pray for tonight, Clare?
603
00:26:19,953 --> 00:26:21,389
Ms. Cathy at school.
604
00:26:21,413 --> 00:26:22,557
Is she sick?
605
00:26:22,581 --> 00:26:23,850
No, she's just mean.
606
00:26:23,874 --> 00:26:25,685
Okay, we'll pray for her too.
607
00:26:25,709 --> 00:26:28,021
And Teddy?
608
00:26:28,045 --> 00:26:30,023
I pray for you, Momma,
609
00:26:30,047 --> 00:26:31,858
that you get to
stay home all the time.
610
00:26:31,882 --> 00:26:34,218
I pray for that too, baby.
611
00:26:34,885 --> 00:26:36,720
Eddie?
612
00:26:38,180 --> 00:26:40,474
Why didn't Daddy
come home with you?
613
00:26:43,352 --> 00:26:45,020
Uh...
614
00:26:48,023 --> 00:26:50,585
He'll visit you soon.
615
00:26:50,609 --> 00:26:53,320
He misses you, all of you.
616
00:26:55,989 --> 00:26:58,951
Let's pray for Daddy too, hmm?
617
00:27:01,995 --> 00:27:03,765
In Jesus' name.
618
00:27:03,789 --> 00:27:05,391
Amen.
619
00:27:05,415 --> 00:27:07,751
Everybody
up to bed now, come on.
620
00:27:17,302 --> 00:27:19,596

Morning, Mrs. Jennings.
630
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,017
Morning to
you too, Sister Franklin.
631
00:28:29,041 --> 00:28:30,560
Is the reverend home?
632
00:28:30,584 --> 00:28:33,730
No, he's in Detroit,
another speaking engagement.
633
00:28:33,754 --> 00:28:35,565
I had to stay here what
with the baby coming.
634
00:28:35,589 --> 00:28:37,108
All the way up in Michigan?
635
00:28:37,132 --> 00:28:39,402
He'll be back next week.
636
00:28:39,426 --> 00:28:43,263
Is there something I can
help you with, Sister?
637
00:28:46,934 --> 00:28:49,287
No, no, ma'am.
638
00:28:49,311 --> 00:28:51,605
It's not that important, sorry.
639
00:28:52,105 --> 00:28:53,416
Will you join me for some tea?
640
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,418
No, ma'am,
I won't be taking up no
641
00:28:55,442 --> 00:28:57,736
more of your time.
642
00:28:58,278 --> 00:29:00,048
Well, I'll be
sure to tell the reverend
643
00:29:00,072 --> 00:29:02,366
you stopped by.
644
00:29:11,708 --> 00:29:13,418
Thank you.
645
00:29:17,798 --> 00:29:19,484
Pam, our crib's arrived.
646
00:29:19,508 --> 00:29:21,527
- Oh, it's lovely, isn't it?
- Yes.
647
00:29:21,551 --> 00:29:22,820
I'll be with you
directly, Barbara.
648
00:29:22,844 --> 00:29:25,138
How pretty.
649
00:29:30,686 --> 00:29:32,521
So sweet.
650
00:29:33,230 --> 00:29:37,067
Barbara, honey, your
crib is right over here.
651
00:29:38,819 --> 00:29:40,463
Why is there
a second crib here with CL's
652
00:29:40,487 --> 00:29:41,506
name on it?
653
00:29:41,530 --> 00:29:43,132
This is the crib we ordered.
654
00:29:43,156 --> 00:29:45,677
Oh, I'm sure
it's just a mistake.
655
00:29:45,701 --> 00:29:46,928
You know how Walker is.
656
00:29:46,952 --> 00:29:48,763
He insists on being in
charge of everything.
657
00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:52,225
But why would CL
be buying another crib?
658
00:29:52,249 --> 00:29:54,811
I'm sure Walker
put CL's name on the other
659
00:29:54,835 --> 00:29:57,879
tag by mistake.
660
00:29:59,715 --> 00:30:01,508
It could happen.
661
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,945
Walker's a good husband.
662
00:30:03,969 --> 00:30:05,780
And CL's a good husband too.
663
00:30:05,804 --> 00:30:07,740
We all try to
follow the Lord's lead.
664
00:30:07,764 --> 00:30:09,433
Mm‐hmm.
665
00:30:11,643 --> 00:30:14,205
I, uh, I'm
keeping busy with my hands.
666
00:30:14,229 --> 00:30:17,917
I made two baby blankets.
667
00:30:17,941 --> 00:30:21,212
That would be a shame
for one to go to waste.
668
00:30:21,236 --> 00:30:24,114
Who else is expecting
around my same time?
669
00:30:26,450 --> 00:30:29,095
Well, you know everyone
passes through the store here.
670
00:30:29,119 --> 00:30:30,722
If you'd like to
bring the blanket in,
671
00:30:30,746 --> 00:30:32,724
I can make sure it
gets to a deserving...
672
00:30:32,748 --> 00:30:38,062
But it would mean
so much more I'm sure if I
673
00:30:38,086 --> 00:30:40,630
delivered it in person.
674
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:49,615
I can't be certain.
675
00:30:49,639 --> 00:30:50,908
I haven't seen them in a bit,
676
00:30:50,932 --> 00:30:54,770
but I think the
Jennings family is expecting.
677
00:30:55,645 --> 00:30:57,457
You know them?
678
00:30:57,481 --> 00:30:59,250
She and her
daughter are in service at
679
00:30:59,274 --> 00:31:00,460
the Duncan House.
680
00:31:00,484 --> 00:31:02,211
Mm‐hmm that's right.
681
00:31:02,235 --> 00:31:06,007
Sister Jennings
came by just the other day.
682
00:31:06,031 --> 00:31:08,617
- Is that so?
- Mm‐hmm.
683
00:31:16,958 --> 00:31:18,936
Mildred, come on out here.
684
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,420
Yes, Momma.
685
00:31:27,219 --> 00:31:29,137
What you got here?
686
00:31:29,387 --> 00:31:30,722
Thank you, baby.
687
00:31:32,265 --> 00:31:35,644
You done with everything
inside like I told you?
688
00:31:36,895 --> 00:31:39,582
Hang that up for me.
Make sure you...
689
00:31:56,456 --> 00:31:57,934
I heard that
Erma went and recorded
690
00:31:57,958 --> 00:31:59,185
"Son of a Preacher Man."
691
00:31:59,209 --> 00:32:01,312
She did?
692
00:32:01,336 --> 00:32:03,130
Maybe that's why
Aretha's so mad.
693
00:32:06,091 --> 00:32:08,510
Hey, Ruth, my dad
wants to talk to Aretha.
694
00:32:09,344 --> 00:32:11,197
He got into a huge mess
with those RNA folks he had
695
00:32:11,221 --> 00:32:12,657
Aretha meet in Detroit.
696
00:32:12,681 --> 00:32:14,367
They had guns outside his
church and there was a
697
00:32:14,391 --> 00:32:15,701
shootout with the police.
698
00:32:15,725 --> 00:32:17,203
A police officer was killed.
699
00:32:17,227 --> 00:32:18,663
Good Lord.
700
00:32:18,687 --> 00:32:20,248
I told Daddy Aretha
was in a recording session,
701
00:32:20,272 --> 00:32:21,833
but he says he's
got to talk to her.
702
00:32:21,857 --> 00:32:23,334
What does he need her to do?
703
00:32:23,358 --> 00:32:27,213
Maybe help him
smooth things over.
704
00:32:27,237 --> 00:32:29,674
Tell him Aretha's busy.
She can't be disturbed.
705
00:32:29,698 --> 00:32:31,366
Okay.
706
00:32:38,165 --> 00:32:39,684
I got a great arrangement for
707
00:32:39,708 --> 00:32:41,352
"Don't Play that Song."
708
00:32:41,376 --> 00:32:42,436
Is Jerry going
to say something about
709
00:32:42,460 --> 00:32:43,563
you doing another cover?
710
00:32:43,587 --> 00:32:45,106
Wait until he hears it.
711
00:32:45,130 --> 00:32:48,442
He's going to want me to
record a whole album of covers.
712
00:32:48,466 --> 00:32:49,861
Ted not showing up today?
713
00:32:49,885 --> 00:32:52,071
I wanted some space,
so I put my foot down.
714
00:32:52,095 --> 00:32:53,531
He said he always has my back,
715
00:32:53,555 --> 00:32:55,825
but he says a lot
of things and he lies.
716
00:32:55,849 --> 00:32:58,935
Don't let him throw you.
717
00:33:06,193 --> 00:33:07,587
You know he don't
treat you right.
718
00:33:07,611 --> 00:33:08,963
He never has.
719
00:33:08,987 --> 00:33:10,882
Maybe this Time Magazine
thing was for the best.
720
00:33:10,906 --> 00:33:12,466
Maybe it's the straw that
broke the camel's back.
721
00:33:12,490 --> 00:33:13,634
Whatever you do,
722
00:33:13,658 --> 00:33:15,761
you gotta take care
of yourself, girl,
723
00:33:15,785 --> 00:33:19,265
cause you got something
even on your worst day that
724
00:33:19,289 --> 00:33:21,291
outshines anything
he's ever seen.
725
00:33:22,209 --> 00:33:27,064
You think you need him, but
he knows deep inside you don't
726
00:33:27,088 --> 00:33:29,567
cause your voice and the
way you put all that music
727
00:33:29,591 --> 00:33:32,844
together is something that
nobody can do but you.
728
00:33:33,178 --> 00:33:34,697
I got a voice.
729
00:33:34,721 --> 00:33:37,825
When you play, you're
my second voice.
730
00:33:37,849 --> 00:33:41,871
The second
voice to Aretha Franklin,
731
00:33:41,895 --> 00:33:43,980
I'll take that.
732
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:49,277
How, how come we
didn't never get together?
733
00:33:55,617 --> 00:33:59,496
Maybe cause I love you too much.
734
00:34:11,216 --> 00:34:13,218
Okay, Tom, let's give it a go.
735
00:34:15,470 --> 00:34:16,513

I heard what
happened with the RNA.
780

What the hell were you thinking?
781
00:36:36,903 --> 00:36:38,839
I was thinking
I was supporting a young man
782
00:36:38,863 --> 00:36:40,299
trying to make a difference.
783
00:36:40,323 --> 00:36:41,509
They had guns.
784
00:36:41,533 --> 00:36:42,927
So did the cops.
785
00:36:42,951 --> 00:36:44,428
This is going to
bring me more bad press.
786
00:36:44,452 --> 00:36:46,472
I don't need stuff like that
spilling out in the streets.
787
00:36:46,496 --> 00:36:49,100
All you care about
now is your damn bad press.
788
00:36:49,124 --> 00:36:51,710
I just, I'm, I'm
tired of all the mess, Daddy.
789
00:36:53,712 --> 00:36:56,273
Well, then maybe you
shouldn't have married Ted.
790
00:36:56,297 --> 00:36:57,924
I gotta go.
791
00:37:02,887 --> 00:37:04,907
Baby!
792
00:37:04,931 --> 00:37:07,058
Say hello to the preacher
that took Detroit by storm.
793
00:37:08,727 --> 00:37:10,287
The congregation of
New Bethel said they ain't
794
00:37:10,311 --> 00:37:11,997
never heard someone
preach like me.
795
00:37:12,021 --> 00:37:14,816
Stop. Don't come near me.
796
00:37:19,279 --> 00:37:23,324
Someone been
talking to you about me.
797
00:37:23,867 --> 00:37:26,369
Hey, hold on.
798
00:37:26,953 --> 00:37:28,514
What is wrong with you?
Have you lost your mind?
799
00:37:28,538 --> 00:37:33,084
No. I got my mind finally.
800
00:37:34,919 --> 00:37:39,090
Underneath everything,
I always had suspicions,
801
00:37:39,758 --> 00:37:41,277
but I made excuses.
802
00:37:41,301 --> 00:37:44,304
"He's got temptations.
He can't help his appetites,"
803
00:37:45,555 --> 00:37:49,034
but at your core I thought you
were a good loving man.
804
00:37:49,058 --> 00:37:50,161
I am.
805
00:37:50,185 --> 00:37:52,872
But you are not a good man!
806
00:37:52,896 --> 00:37:55,023
You are evil and disgusting.
807
00:37:55,523 --> 00:37:56,917
Who's been talking to you?
808
00:37:56,941 --> 00:38:00,862
You made a baby
with a child, a 12‐year‐old.
809
00:38:01,613 --> 00:38:02,882
That girl was, she, she.
810
00:38:02,906 --> 00:38:05,885
Take your bags.
811
00:38:05,909 --> 00:38:07,869
Go.
812
00:38:10,038 --> 00:38:13,124
What do I tell people, hmm,
my parents, huh?
813
00:38:13,458 --> 00:38:15,919
Just go. Get away from me.
814
00:38:54,165 --> 00:38:57,836
So pretty. Precious baby.
815
00:38:58,670 --> 00:39:01,506
She's such a blessing.
816
00:39:03,383 --> 00:39:05,677
She's a miracle.
817
00:39:28,908 --> 00:39:31,995
You spent time with
baby Re now you can go.
818
00:39:33,997 --> 00:39:35,349
I want to earn your forgiveness.
819
00:39:35,373 --> 00:39:36,559
You can't.
820
00:39:36,583 --> 00:39:38,269
Like, I can make it up to you.
821
00:39:38,293 --> 00:39:39,854
Look, I got a promise.
822
00:39:39,878 --> 00:39:41,772
Okay. We, we can leave Memphis.
823
00:39:41,796 --> 00:39:42,982
Okay, we can, we
can start all over.
824
00:39:43,006 --> 00:39:44,608
Where?
825
00:39:44,632 --> 00:39:46,485
Where could we go?
826
00:39:46,509 --> 00:39:49,220
Everybody knows
what you've done.
827
00:39:50,346 --> 00:39:52,116
Oh, Lord, Lord, forgive me.
828
00:39:52,140 --> 00:39:56,519
I, I have sinned okay
against my wife, against you.
829
00:39:57,061 --> 00:39:58,372
I'm not praying for myself.
830
00:39:58,396 --> 00:40:00,457
Okay, I'm praying for my family,
831
00:40:00,481 --> 00:40:03,460
my wife, my children.
832
00:40:03,484 --> 00:40:05,379
Right. They need me.
833
00:40:05,403 --> 00:40:07,381
Leave, Frank, please.
834
00:40:07,405 --> 00:40:08,507
Just go.
835
00:40:08,531 --> 00:40:10,342
I am a sinner.
836
00:40:10,366 --> 00:40:11,886
I have done wrong.
837
00:40:11,910 --> 00:40:15,514
I, I have been led by my
appetites and I am ashamed.
838
00:40:15,538 --> 00:40:18,183
I am a broken man.
839
00:40:18,207 --> 00:40:20,519
And I know I am not worthy
of your forgiveness,
840
00:40:20,543 --> 00:40:22,921
but I'm seeking it.
841
00:40:25,006 --> 00:40:27,401
I am a wretched man.
842
00:40:27,425 --> 00:40:29,904
Don't let my stain be on
her garment and don't let my
843
00:40:29,928 --> 00:40:32,722
wrongs cast a shadow
over her beauty.
844
00:40:33,681 --> 00:40:36,768
Forgive me, Lord.
845
00:40:38,519 --> 00:40:40,873
Move her.
846
00:40:40,897 --> 00:40:45,544
Just, just move her so
that she can forgive me for
847
00:40:45,568 --> 00:40:48,321
I am a wretched man.
848
00:40:52,700 --> 00:40:54,577
I forgive you.
849
00:40:56,496 --> 00:40:59,874
I am a wretched man.
850
00:41:02,168 --> 00:41:05,338
I forgive you.
851
00:41:07,674 --> 00:41:11,010
A wife of noble character
852
00:41:12,512 --> 00:41:16,391
she is worth far
more than rubies.
853
00:41:18,893 --> 00:41:20,645
I'm so sorry.
854
00:41:38,287 --> 00:41:41,082
Here's the keys to
a room upstairs in this hotel.
855
00:41:47,296 --> 00:41:48,649
I was hoping
that's why you invited me
to this restaurant...
856
00:41:48,673 --> 00:41:50,693
Oh, please,
it's not for us. It's for you.
857
00:41:50,717 --> 00:41:53,928
I packed your stuff.
It's upstairs.
858
00:41:55,096 --> 00:41:56,407
This is a joke.
859
00:41:56,431 --> 00:41:57,992
It's not a joke, Ted.
860
00:41:58,016 --> 00:41:59,785
I'm done. We're through.
861
00:41:59,809 --> 00:42:01,328
Look, we've been through a lot.
862
00:42:01,352 --> 00:42:02,288
We always figure it out.
863
00:42:02,312 --> 00:42:03,414
Not this time.
864
00:42:03,438 --> 00:42:04,498
I'm going to
get my act together.
865
00:42:04,522 --> 00:42:05,916
Go on a family trip.
Take the boys.
866
00:42:05,940 --> 00:42:07,376
You're always
going to be their Daddy, but.
867
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,086
Of course, I'm going
to be the damn boys' Daddy.
868
00:42:08,110 --> 00:42:09,712
We are through!
869
00:42:09,736 --> 00:42:10,630
What you want
me to apologize or
something like that?!
870
00:42:10,654 --> 00:42:12,381
You don't want a man, do you?!
871
00:42:12,405 --> 00:42:14,258
You want somebody to
tote you and to carry and
872
00:42:14,282 --> 00:42:17,261
put up with your family shit
and cheer you on while you
873
00:42:17,285 --> 00:42:18,762
in the studio.
874
00:42:18,786 --> 00:42:20,681
There's a lot of things
I need but I don't need you.
875
00:42:20,705 --> 00:42:22,099
This is not happening, not now.
876
00:42:22,123 --> 00:42:23,642
You have one choice.
877
00:42:23,666 --> 00:42:26,544
You can leave or I can.
878
00:42:34,218 --> 00:42:35,237
You need me, Re.
879
00:42:35,261 --> 00:42:37,221
