177
00:07:39,250 --> 00:07:42,878
- [milk splashes]
- Fuck!
178
00:07:42,962 --> 00:07:44,880
[baby cries]
179
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:48,092
Like me
180
00:07:48,176 --> 00:07:49,969
Li-ike me
181
00:08:02,732 --> 00:08:04,400
Hi.
182
00:08:14,368 --> 00:08:16,037
You sure you ready for this?
183
00:08:18,789 --> 00:08:20,833
Yeah.
184
00:08:20,917 --> 00:08:22,501
It's time.
185
00:08:22,585 --> 00:08:24,044
[Tracy]
It's a big step, I know.
186
00:08:24,128 --> 00:08:26,631
But we're all here
to support you.
187
00:08:28,591 --> 00:08:30,509
ROCK can help
with job placement,
188
00:08:30,593 --> 00:08:33,346
free clothes,
recovery meetings.
189
00:08:36,140 --> 00:08:38,726
You have my number
if you need anything, okay?
190
00:09:02,792 --> 00:09:07,046
Hey, don't worry.
191
00:09:07,838 --> 00:09:09,882
It's hard not to.
192
00:09:11,676 --> 00:09:14,470
Look, I know my word
don't mean shit
193
00:09:14,554 --> 00:09:17,806
after all the promises I broke.
194
00:09:17,890 --> 00:09:21,060
But I want things
to be different this time.
195
00:09:23,145 --> 00:09:24,564
Me too.
196
00:09:42,206 --> 00:09:45,167
Quiet, moody music
197
00:09:53,134 --> 00:09:56,220
Energetic music
198
00:10:59,116 --> 00:11:01,285
[Tracy] We read poetry
and stuff here... this is nice.
199
00:11:01,369 --> 00:11:02,703
I mean, it's more than
just a place
200
00:11:02,787 --> 00:11:04,454
for women to come and stay
201
00:11:04,538 --> 00:11:06,123
while they're trying to
get on their feet.
202
00:11:06,207 --> 00:11:08,959
This is a safe haven,
and we provide free healthcare
203
00:11:09,043 --> 00:11:10,711
and the space that
they can call their own.
204
00:11:10,795 --> 00:11:13,422
- It's amazing.
- Some people can't be saved.
205
00:11:13,506 --> 00:11:15,966
Oh, well, now you sound
like me.
206
00:11:16,050 --> 00:11:17,801
[Victor] Oh, shit.
207
00:11:17,885 --> 00:11:20,053
People can be saved
with the right support.
208
00:11:20,137 --> 00:11:21,388
Roselyn said I should stop by
209
00:11:21,472 --> 00:11:23,352
and see what you guys
were working on.
210
00:11:24,684 --> 00:11:27,019
This place is great
for the campaign.
211
00:11:27,103 --> 00:11:28,770
Why isn't anyone
talking about it?
212
00:11:28,854 --> 00:11:30,314
[Tracy] Well,
you know negative stories
213
00:11:30,398 --> 00:11:32,190
tend to get more traction.
214
00:11:32,274 --> 00:11:33,984
Would you mind taking
a picture of Victor and I
215
00:11:34,068 --> 00:11:35,694
outside in front of the house?
216
00:11:35,778 --> 00:11:39,114
Actually, we try not to
post about what we do here.
217
00:11:39,198 --> 00:11:40,115
Yeah.
This-this ain't about show.
218
00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:42,034
[Tierra] Oh, of course not.
219
00:11:42,118 --> 00:11:43,702
I just think that
if more people knew about it,
220
00:11:43,786 --> 00:11:45,370
they might want to help
221
00:11:45,454 --> 00:11:48,332
or reach out
for the support that they need.
222
00:11:48,416 --> 00:11:50,626
- [Victor sighs]
- [Tracy] Yeah. You're right.
223
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:53,295
Trinity House doesn't get
as much attention as ROCK does.
224
00:11:53,379 --> 00:11:55,172
[Victor] That's 'cause
it ain't about attention.
225
00:11:55,256 --> 00:11:57,758
It's about doing the work.
226
00:11:59,385 --> 00:12:00,927
Well, you know what,
227
00:12:01,011 --> 00:12:02,804
if y'all taking a picture
in front of the house
228
00:12:02,888 --> 00:12:04,348
is gonna help us
get the word out,
229
00:12:04,432 --> 00:12:06,141
then y'all should do it.
230
00:12:06,225 --> 00:12:08,518
Sometimes you gotta do shit
you don't wanna do
231
00:12:08,602 --> 00:12:10,187
to get to where you going.
232
00:12:10,271 --> 00:12:11,939
I know that's right.
233
00:12:13,065 --> 00:12:15,025
What are you doing here?
234
00:12:15,109 --> 00:12:16,860
I wanted to bring you lunch.
235
00:12:16,944 --> 00:12:18,695
That's sweet.
Thank you.
236
00:12:18,779 --> 00:12:19,863
Mm-hmm.
237
00:12:19,947 --> 00:12:22,366
Just do one picture.
238
00:12:22,450 --> 00:12:24,117
[Tierra]
It'll be painless. I swear.
239
00:12:24,201 --> 00:12:25,786
Make him look presidential.
240
00:12:25,870 --> 00:12:28,998
- [Tierra] I'll try.
- [Tracy giggles]
241
00:12:36,630 --> 00:12:38,006
- What's up, Kei?
- Hey.
242
00:12:38,090 --> 00:12:39,549
- Hey!
- Thank you so much
243
00:12:39,633 --> 00:12:41,885
for watching him.
I just need like a few hours.
244
00:12:41,969 --> 00:12:43,220
Yeah. I got you.
245
00:12:43,304 --> 00:12:44,888
- Hey, EJ.
- What's up, Ronnie?
246
00:12:44,972 --> 00:12:46,723
- What's up, man?
- [EJ] Baby Ronnie's back!
247
00:12:46,807 --> 00:12:48,350
Come on. Have fun
with this baby, son.
248
00:12:48,434 --> 00:12:50,435
'Cause Daddy ain't
having no more, okay?
249
00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:52,729
[Kiesha]
Yeah, you say that now.
250
00:12:52,813 --> 00:12:54,898
Come on. Come on.
251
00:12:54,982 --> 00:12:57,859
- Yeah, you want the toys?
- Hmm-mm.
252
00:12:57,943 --> 00:13:00,028
Mm-hmm.
Oh, my bad, lemme get...
253
00:13:00,112 --> 00:13:01,822
all this stuff out your way.
254
00:13:01,906 --> 00:13:03,615
Cheerios.
255
00:13:03,699 --> 00:13:06,201
- [continues murmuring]
- Hey!
256
00:13:06,285 --> 00:13:07,869
- How you doing?
- Good.
257
00:13:07,953 --> 00:13:09,496
You sure you got him.
258
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:11,581
Yeah. I got him, girl.
Get to writing.
259
00:13:11,665 --> 00:13:13,542
I got this.
260
00:13:13,626 --> 00:13:15,919
- Come on. Come on.
- [EJ babbling]
261
00:13:16,003 --> 00:13:17,546
[Emmett]
Come on. Come on.
262
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:20,633
[murmuring] Yeah.
263
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:23,927
Wanna play with some toys?
Wanna play with some toys?
264
00:13:24,011 --> 00:13:26,513
Come on.
Let's take off your coat.
265
00:13:26,597 --> 00:13:27,931
Let's take off the coat.
266
00:13:28,015 --> 00:13:30,225
[indistinct chatter]
267
00:13:30,309 --> 00:13:32,227
[Emmett] All right.
All right.
268
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:35,772
[indistinct chatter]
269
00:13:35,856 --> 00:13:38,484
[Emmett laughs]
270
00:13:40,861 --> 00:13:42,612
What's going on?
271
00:13:42,696 --> 00:13:44,281
What do you mean?
272
00:13:44,365 --> 00:13:45,991
I'm not dumb.
273
00:13:51,038 --> 00:13:52,832
Have a seat.
274
00:14:00,047 --> 00:14:02,466
I saw Roselyn yesterday.
275
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:04,384
So that's why you
brought me a picnic?
276
00:14:04,468 --> 00:14:06,887
She wants to help.
277
00:14:06,971 --> 00:14:09,390
- [Tracy] We don't need it.
- I think we do.
278
00:14:10,057 --> 00:14:13,143
The last thing we need
is another cook in the kitchen.
279
00:14:13,227 --> 00:14:16,897
Roselyn's expertise
is in nonprofit organizations.
280
00:14:16,981 --> 00:14:18,732
She's also good
with fund raising
281
00:14:18,816 --> 00:14:20,942
and public relations,
and she likes you.
282
00:14:21,026 --> 00:14:23,945
No. She knows
that you like me, Otis,
283
00:14:24,029 --> 00:14:25,489
and that's why she tried
to play me
284
00:14:25,573 --> 00:14:27,741
so fucking close all the time.
You for real?
285
00:14:27,825 --> 00:14:30,327
What Roselyn wants is to be
the new co-director of ROCK.
286
00:14:30,411 --> 00:14:31,495
Ah!
287
00:14:31,579 --> 00:14:33,830
A partnership.
288
00:14:33,914 --> 00:14:35,332
I think it's a good idea.
289
00:14:35,416 --> 00:14:36,792
[Tracy] ROCK is mine.
290
00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:39,586
I created it as a legacy
for my son.
291
00:14:39,670 --> 00:14:41,671
Listen, this could be
a win for everybody.
292
00:14:41,755 --> 00:14:43,840
Yeah, we can let Roselyn
handle the bureaucracy
293
00:14:43,924 --> 00:14:45,634
while you focus on the people.
294
00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:49,228
How does this help
Victor's campaign?
295
00:14:50,264 --> 00:14:52,390
Well, she can recruit a board,
296
00:14:52,474 --> 00:14:54,017
give Community Protection
297
00:14:54,101 --> 00:14:57,395
the stability
that it needs to thrive.
298
00:14:57,479 --> 00:14:59,940
And when we're ready to
announce Victor's candidacy,
299
00:15:00,024 --> 00:15:02,192
ROCK can be a platform
that we run on.
300
00:15:03,652 --> 00:15:05,278
Come on.
301
00:15:05,362 --> 00:15:07,697
[softly] Damn it.
302
00:15:07,781 --> 00:15:10,158
I've been under Q's thumb
for fucking far too long.
303
00:15:10,242 --> 00:15:11,993
And if we let her do this,
304
00:15:12,077 --> 00:15:14,157
she can raise money
that doesn't have blood on it.
305
00:15:15,372 --> 00:15:17,374
What if I say no?
306
00:15:17,458 --> 00:15:19,543
Then you get fired.
307
00:15:19,627 --> 00:15:21,461
Heavy music
308
00:15:21,545 --> 00:15:25,257
- How are you gonna fire me?
- I won't have a choice.
309
00:15:26,425 --> 00:15:29,094
You asked me to help you get
Victor's record cleared.
310
00:15:30,471 --> 00:15:31,972
And Roselyn
was one of the people
311
00:15:32,056 --> 00:15:33,641
I had to call to do that.
312
00:15:36,060 --> 00:15:38,687
And she don't do shit for free.
313
00:15:44,944 --> 00:15:46,736
You finished the test?
314
00:15:46,820 --> 00:15:48,488
Nah, I didn't.
315
00:15:48,572 --> 00:15:50,699
Why not?
316
00:15:50,783 --> 00:15:52,617
I don't know if I wanna go
the college route anymore.
317
00:15:52,701 --> 00:15:54,578
So watchu gonna do?
318
00:15:54,662 --> 00:15:56,705
[Jemma] I don't know.
319
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:58,623
Some privileged-ass shit.
320
00:15:58,707 --> 00:16:00,208
If I didn't finish my test,
321
00:16:00,292 --> 00:16:02,419
my mom would've whooped
my entire ass.
322
00:16:02,503 --> 00:16:04,713
- Really?
- Yes.
323
00:16:04,797 --> 00:16:06,006
I need to get an education
324
00:16:06,090 --> 00:16:07,799
and get the fuck up
out her house.
325
00:16:07,883 --> 00:16:09,593
She got enough mouths to feed.
326
00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:12,888
Do you really think a degree
327
00:16:12,972 --> 00:16:14,764
will make that huge of
a difference in your life?
328
00:16:14,848 --> 00:16:18,268
Probably not, but I'm sure it
would mean a lot to my mother.
329
00:16:18,352 --> 00:16:20,186
She gave me life.
330
00:16:20,270 --> 00:16:21,354
The least I could do
is make her proud.
331
00:16:21,438 --> 00:16:23,607
Besides that,
what do you want to do?
332
00:16:23,691 --> 00:16:25,692
I don't wanna be
tired all the time.
333
00:16:25,776 --> 00:16:27,616
I don't wanna work a job
I hate.
334
00:16:29,780 --> 00:16:32,115
If you could do
whatever you wanted,
335
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:33,993
what would it be?
336
00:16:37,997 --> 00:16:39,414
I would rap.
337
00:16:39,498 --> 00:16:40,707
[Jemma] Oh, yeah.
338
00:16:40,791 --> 00:16:42,959
I heard your song
on Papa's Pulpit.
339
00:16:43,043 --> 00:16:44,628
That shit was good.
340
00:16:44,712 --> 00:16:46,254
Yeah. Whatever.
341
00:16:46,338 --> 00:16:48,048
[Jemma] I'm serious!
342
00:16:48,132 --> 00:16:49,966
You should start doing
more freestyles on your page.
343
00:16:50,050 --> 00:16:51,384
You know niggas
talk too much shit
344
00:16:51,468 --> 00:16:52,636
on the comments for that.
345
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:53,970
They'll talk shit now
346
00:16:54,054 --> 00:16:56,264
and be asking
for a selfie later.
347
00:16:56,348 --> 00:16:58,516
All right.
Maybe I'll do one this week.
348
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,020
Hey, don't say maybe.
349
00:17:02,104 --> 00:17:04,689
Okay, fine.
I'll do one this Friday.
350
00:17:04,773 --> 00:17:06,191
Okay.
I'ma look out for it.
351
00:17:06,275 --> 00:17:08,694
- It'll be there.
- [both laughing]
352
00:17:11,739 --> 00:17:13,406
You want to get
something to eat?
353
00:17:13,490 --> 00:17:14,867
Sure.
354
00:17:16,952 --> 00:17:19,829
[mellow R&B playing]
355
00:17:21,707 --> 00:17:23,875
Uh...
356
00:17:23,959 --> 00:17:26,336
No, you.
You can go.
357
00:17:28,589 --> 00:17:30,507
Hey, I'm sorry.
358
00:17:30,591 --> 00:17:33,343
It's not your fault.
359
00:17:33,427 --> 00:17:36,763
You know I didn't mean
for you to get hurt, right?
360
00:17:36,847 --> 00:17:38,057
I know.
361
00:17:42,436 --> 00:17:45,605
When my sister got taken,
362
00:17:45,689 --> 00:17:47,691
I didn't think I was
gonna see her again.
363
00:17:47,775 --> 00:17:49,651
Heavy music
364
00:17:49,735 --> 00:17:51,778
Fucked me up bad.
So I know how you feel.
365
00:17:51,862 --> 00:17:53,697
But you got your sister back.
366
00:17:53,781 --> 00:17:56,533
My brother
about to go away for life.
367
00:17:56,617 --> 00:17:59,536
Hey, Lynae. Can you come
down here real quick?
368
00:17:59,620 --> 00:18:01,497
There's somebody
here to see you.
369
00:18:06,168 --> 00:18:09,045
Uneasy music
370
00:18:18,055 --> 00:18:20,098
Who are you?
371
00:18:20,182 --> 00:18:21,016
I'm from the Department
of Children
372
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:22,809
and Family Services.
373
00:18:22,893 --> 00:18:25,145
We've just been informed
that your brother,
374
00:18:25,229 --> 00:18:28,482
your legal guardian,
can no longer look after you.
375
00:18:32,486 --> 00:18:33,737
How you doing?
I'm Victor Taylor.
376
00:18:33,821 --> 00:18:35,363
I'm running for city council.
377
00:18:35,447 --> 00:18:36,489
How you doing?
I'm Victor Taylor.
378
00:18:36,573 --> 00:18:37,323
I'm running...
379
00:18:37,407 --> 00:18:38,742
Listen, what...
380
00:18:38,826 --> 00:18:40,410
How you doing?
I'm Victor Taylor.
381
00:18:40,494 --> 00:18:42,203
I'm running for city council.
382
00:18:42,287 --> 00:18:44,914
What do you need to feel good
where you live?
383
00:18:44,998 --> 00:18:46,833
What I need?
384
00:18:46,917 --> 00:18:50,253
We need more art
and murals and shit.
385
00:18:50,337 --> 00:18:51,546
More bike lanes.
386
00:18:51,630 --> 00:18:53,423
Fix these
motherfucking potholes.
387
00:18:53,507 --> 00:18:54,841
Well, y'all did
the damn thing,
388
00:18:54,925 --> 00:18:56,760
getting them bitch ass cops
out the hood,
389
00:18:56,844 --> 00:18:58,928
but what you gonna do
'bout these parking enforcers?
390
00:18:59,012 --> 00:19:01,723
[speaking Spanish]
391
00:19:07,771 --> 00:19:11,941
I need that punk-ass
university of Chicago professor
392
00:19:12,025 --> 00:19:14,736
stop parking in my spot.
393
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:16,529
Hi, I'm Victor Taylor.
I'm running for city council.
394
00:19:16,613 --> 00:19:19,324
[doors slamming]
395
00:19:19,408 --> 00:19:21,618
Don't these niggas
know that when they see
396
00:19:21,702 --> 00:19:26,664
a live chest sitting there,
that means the spot is taken?
397
00:19:26,748 --> 00:19:28,750
I went to the DMV
to renew my plates
398
00:19:28,834 --> 00:19:30,710
and they talking about,
oh, you need an emissions test.
399
00:19:30,794 --> 00:19:32,879
But all the emissions places
are closed in the city.
400
00:19:32,963 --> 00:19:34,818
So now you gotta drive
all the way out to the 'burbs
401
00:19:34,902 --> 00:19:35,986
just to get it done.
402
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:42,889
- Ah!
- See?
403
00:19:42,973 --> 00:19:44,808
- Yeah.
- You should come to Ward Night.
404
00:19:44,892 --> 00:19:46,226
Uh... I got kids.
405
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:47,644
[Victor]
We have free child care.
406
00:19:47,728 --> 00:19:48,978
Y'all gonna have food?
407
00:19:49,062 --> 00:19:50,730
Smokey's is catering.
[chuckles]
408
00:19:50,814 --> 00:19:52,232
Well, I love Smokey's.
409
00:19:52,316 --> 00:19:53,566
Gracias.
410
00:19:53,650 --> 00:19:55,250
- Ha hey, gracias.
- Gracias?
411
00:19:57,321 --> 00:19:58,988
Adios.
412
00:19:59,072 --> 00:20:02,492
Jazzy instrumental
413
00:20:12,252 --> 00:20:13,670
Her brother
was making progress
414
00:20:13,754 --> 00:20:15,588
before this whole
incident happened.
415
00:20:15,672 --> 00:20:17,173
Yeah.
416
00:20:17,257 --> 00:20:19,217
This was
supposed to be temporary.
417
00:20:19,301 --> 00:20:21,136
Why can't she
just stay with us?
418
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:22,512
Kevin,
this doesn't concern you.
419
00:20:22,596 --> 00:20:24,681
Yes, it does, Ma!
420
00:20:24,765 --> 00:20:27,016
I-I know both
your biological parents
421
00:20:27,100 --> 00:20:29,352
are deceased.
422
00:20:29,436 --> 00:20:31,229
Do you have any other
relatives in the area
423
00:20:31,313 --> 00:20:33,148
that could take you in?
424
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:34,691
Look,
with all due respect,
425
00:20:34,775 --> 00:20:36,568
we treat Lynae like she's one
of our own children.
426
00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:38,027
She has her own bedroom here
and everything.
427
00:20:38,111 --> 00:20:39,362
She's safe here.
428
00:20:39,446 --> 00:20:41,739
Unfortunately,
it doesn't work that way.
429
00:20:41,823 --> 00:20:43,199
I ain't goin' back
to no group home.
430
00:20:43,283 --> 00:20:45,326
[agent] If you don't have
a legal guardian,
431
00:20:45,410 --> 00:20:47,912
the court will petition to
make you a ward of the state.
432
00:20:47,996 --> 00:20:51,207
So what if we became
Lynae's new legal guardians?
433
00:20:51,291 --> 00:20:52,542
Yeah.
434
00:20:52,626 --> 00:20:54,252
[agent]
That's a long process,
435
00:20:54,336 --> 00:20:56,588
but you could petition
436
00:20:56,672 --> 00:20:58,548
to become Lynae's
temporary foster family.
437
00:20:58,632 --> 00:21:00,508
Okay.
438
00:21:00,592 --> 00:21:03,178
How much time
do we have to discuss this?
439
00:21:03,262 --> 00:21:05,388
[agent]
Things are moving fast.
440
00:21:05,472 --> 00:21:07,807
So I suggest you talk quickly.
441
00:21:08,711 --> 00:21:11,644
Moody music
442
00:21:11,767 --> 00:21:13,311
Ma.
443
00:21:17,818 --> 00:21:19,485
Upbeat hip-hop
444
00:21:19,569 --> 00:21:21,863
Yeah, lemme see if you can
make it go boom
445
00:21:21,947 --> 00:21:24,073
Lemme see if you can
make it go mmm
446
00:21:24,157 --> 00:21:26,743
Lemme see if you can
shake up the room
447
00:21:26,827 --> 00:21:29,078
Lemme see if you can
make it go mmm...
448
00:21:29,162 --> 00:21:31,372
I'm off dairy. Do y'all
have a vegan mac and cheese?
449
00:21:31,456 --> 00:21:33,124
Ha. Nah.
450
00:21:33,208 --> 00:21:34,959
Girl, move.
Um, let me get the...
451
00:21:35,043 --> 00:21:37,128
Three-piece combo, dark,
drenched in mild.
452
00:21:37,212 --> 00:21:38,880
You remember.
453
00:21:38,964 --> 00:21:40,882
Of course.
454
00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:42,091
Can I get my
hot sauce on the side?
455
00:21:42,175 --> 00:21:43,551
Why would you
want it on the side?
456
00:21:43,635 --> 00:21:45,428
Can I just order
how I want to order?
457
00:21:45,512 --> 00:21:47,222
I'm all about a woman's
right to choose.
458
00:21:47,306 --> 00:21:48,389
- Whatever, Papa.
- Thank you, Papa.
459
00:21:48,473 --> 00:21:50,266
Why would you
need it on the side?
460
00:21:50,350 --> 00:21:51,434
Thank you.
461
00:21:51,518 --> 00:21:52,769
The side?
462
00:21:52,853 --> 00:21:54,479
[Papa laughs]
463
00:21:54,563 --> 00:21:56,898
Mm-hmm
464
00:21:56,982 --> 00:21:59,275
Mm-hmm...
465
00:22:01,862 --> 00:22:04,197
- [Victor] Yeah.
- Ooh.
466
00:22:04,281 --> 00:22:05,949
I know this part is hard, bro.
Ha ha.
467
00:22:06,033 --> 00:22:07,617
But you know what?
468
00:22:07,701 --> 00:22:10,787
I finally feel like I found
something I'm good at.
469
00:22:10,871 --> 00:22:13,039
Like, I found
my purpose and shit.
470
00:22:13,123 --> 00:22:15,124
Man, let's hit this next block.
471
00:22:15,208 --> 00:22:17,126
Nah, nigga, I ain't
getting out this car
472
00:22:17,210 --> 00:22:19,545
until I could start feeling
my feet again. You feel me?
473
00:22:19,629 --> 00:22:22,298
Now turn that fucking heat
on, man, so I could roll up.
474
00:22:22,382 --> 00:22:24,092
Hold on, bro. We can't
roll up to people's houses
475
00:22:24,176 --> 00:22:25,927
smelling like weed
and shit, bro.
476
00:22:26,011 --> 00:22:28,763
That is not
what my campaign need.
477
00:22:28,847 --> 00:22:31,266
So I'm cold.
I can't smoke.
478
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:32,809
And your goofy ass
ain't paying me nothing?
479
00:22:32,893 --> 00:22:34,185
The fuck am I doing here then?
480
00:22:34,269 --> 00:22:35,812
Man, what else
would you be doing?
481
00:22:35,896 --> 00:22:37,981
Man, I be at the crib
with my fine-ass woman.
482
00:22:38,065 --> 00:22:40,275
Man, she got a job.
483
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:41,985
Yeah, she do got
a cool little gig, though.
484
00:22:42,069 --> 00:22:43,486
You know she a art curator
and shit?
485
00:22:43,570 --> 00:22:45,613
Man, I never thought
I'd see the day...
486
00:22:45,697 --> 00:22:47,448
Hey, man, a good woman
turn your life around
487
00:22:47,532 --> 00:22:49,158
- if you let her.
- I know nigga. Shit...
488
00:22:49,242 --> 00:22:53,621
Look. Here we go.
489
00:22:53,705 --> 00:22:55,331
Mm-hmm. What you see?
490
00:22:55,415 --> 00:22:57,041
Damn, nigga!
491
00:22:57,125 --> 00:22:58,626
Your followers high as well.
492
00:22:58,710 --> 00:22:59,711
Yeah, it's wild, right?
493
00:22:59,795 --> 00:23:01,796
Black women been
following me like crazy.
494
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,924
Leaving emojis in the comments
and shit.
495
00:23:05,008 --> 00:23:07,093
They like me
and Tierra together.
496
00:23:07,177 --> 00:23:09,178
Man, they eating
that shit up too, ain't they?
497
00:23:09,262 --> 00:23:11,264
- Mm-hmm.
- Man, that's a trip, man.
498
00:23:11,348 --> 00:23:12,807
You sure you don't wanna
take her on no real date?
499
00:23:12,891 --> 00:23:14,809
Man, bro,
she is not my style.
500
00:23:14,893 --> 00:23:18,187
Tch! You tripping.
She er'rybody style.
501
00:23:18,271 --> 00:23:20,481
If people thinkin' we together
gets me into office,
502
00:23:20,565 --> 00:23:21,858
I will take it.
503
00:23:21,942 --> 00:23:24,861
There's a lotta people
countin' on me, bro.
504
00:23:24,945 --> 00:23:26,905
I can't let 'em down.
505
00:23:29,116 --> 00:23:30,658
- I can feel that.
- Mm-hmm.
506
00:23:30,742 --> 00:23:32,618
But you need to stop
looking at Tierra
507
00:23:32,702 --> 00:23:34,203
and start focusing on Deja.
508
00:23:34,287 --> 00:23:37,373
You lucky she fuck
with your dusty ass.
509
00:23:37,457 --> 00:23:38,875
Dusty ass, huh?
510
00:23:38,959 --> 00:23:40,209
I said dusty.
511
00:23:40,293 --> 00:23:41,878
Well, I ain't so dusty
no more, nigga.
512
00:23:41,962 --> 00:23:43,588
Ha ha. Yeah, you look
like a new man
513
00:23:43,672 --> 00:23:45,089
ever since you got you a woman.
514
00:23:45,173 --> 00:23:47,008
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
515
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:48,509
She help making me
a better man.
516
00:23:48,593 --> 00:23:50,428
You know,
teach me some new things.
517
00:23:50,512 --> 00:23:52,013
[Victor] Mmm.
518
00:23:52,097 --> 00:23:54,515
Don't fuck that up, now.
519
00:23:54,599 --> 00:23:57,560
[small laugh]
I try not to.
520
00:23:57,644 --> 00:24:00,396
Funky electronic music
521
00:24:08,530 --> 00:24:16,530
Feelin' it now
522
00:24:17,789 --> 00:24:20,750
Feel
523
00:24:20,834 --> 00:24:22,919
Feelin' it all over
524
00:24:24,171 --> 00:24:28,007
Lovin' how, how
525
00:24:28,091 --> 00:24:31,094
It's bringin' us closer
526
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:37,016
[exhales] I finally finished.
527
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:39,852
- You finished it?
- Yes.
528
00:24:39,936 --> 00:24:41,855
- Hey. You did it.
- [light laugh]
529
00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:46,485
There no typos in there,
is there?
530
00:24:47,819 --> 00:24:49,278
No. I triple-checked.
531
00:24:49,362 --> 00:24:50,822
[Emmett] Kay.
532
00:24:52,032 --> 00:24:53,158
Good.
533
00:24:54,910 --> 00:24:57,620
You know,
you can lean on me anytime.
534
00:24:57,704 --> 00:24:59,498
I appreciate that.
535
00:25:01,583 --> 00:25:03,709
I'm proud of you, girl.
536
00:25:03,793 --> 00:25:06,045
I'm proud of me too.
537
00:25:06,129 --> 00:25:08,089
[both chuckle]
538
00:25:08,173 --> 00:25:11,259
Mellow jazz music
539
00:25:21,144 --> 00:25:25,273
Look, Lynae's gonna be 18
in a couple of years.
540
00:25:25,357 --> 00:25:26,816
So will Kevin.
541
00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:29,068
All we gotta do is get 'em
across the finish line.
542
00:25:29,152 --> 00:25:31,070
[Nina sighs]
543
00:25:31,154 --> 00:25:34,490
Mellow jazz continues
544
00:25:37,661 --> 00:25:41,289
If it's too much on y'all,
I could figure something out.
545
00:25:41,373 --> 00:25:43,499
How?
546
00:25:43,583 --> 00:25:47,170
I can find a place to stay.
547
00:25:47,254 --> 00:25:49,297
You don't sound too confident.
548
00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:55,178
Taking on a foster child
is a huge commitment.
549
00:25:55,262 --> 00:25:58,473
Babe, I'm committed
to building this family.
550
00:25:58,557 --> 00:25:59,724
And I'm not?
551
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,103
Kiesha and the baby
are outta the house.
552
00:26:04,187 --> 00:26:06,772
And Kevin has matured
a lot in the past year.
553
00:26:06,856 --> 00:26:09,484
Whatchu so afraid of?
554
00:26:09,568 --> 00:26:11,486
I don't wanna make
a promise to be there for her
555
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:13,405
when we might not even...
556
00:26:14,739 --> 00:26:16,533
We might not even what?
557
00:26:23,498 --> 00:26:24,874
I just always thought
558
00:26:24,958 --> 00:26:26,960
my brother
would come back for me.
559
00:26:28,461 --> 00:26:32,674
Sometimes... things
don't go the way we planned.
560
00:26:33,258 --> 00:26:36,636
So what you wanna do,
send her to a group home?
561
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,056
Do you know the kind of abuse
that goes on in those places?
562
00:26:40,140 --> 00:26:41,349
I didn't say that.
563
00:26:41,433 --> 00:26:42,892
Okay.
Well, regardless of our issues,
564
00:26:42,976 --> 00:26:44,685
we don't know
what's gonna happen to her
565
00:26:44,769 --> 00:26:46,729
if she becomes
a ward of the state.
566
00:26:46,813 --> 00:26:49,013
Now, if she stays here,
then she can have a future.
567
00:26:49,816 --> 00:26:51,567
You wanna get outta here?
568
00:26:51,651 --> 00:26:53,861
Where we gonna go?
569
00:26:53,945 --> 00:26:56,572
ROCK's hosting an event,
and Papa does need some help.
570
00:26:56,656 --> 00:26:58,908
I'm not in the mood to be
passing out food.
571
00:26:58,992 --> 00:27:00,952
Aw, come on.
Just grab a plate.
572
00:27:03,913 --> 00:27:05,290
A'ight.
573
00:27:07,542 --> 00:27:08,793
[Dre and Nina
continue arguing]
574
00:27:08,877 --> 00:27:10,211
[Dre] You know the kind
of abuse
575
00:27:10,295 --> 00:27:11,837
that goes on in those
places?
576
00:27:11,921 --> 00:27:14,424
[argument continues]
577
00:27:23,725 --> 00:27:25,977
We don't even know
what she wants to do.
578
00:27:26,061 --> 00:27:28,729
- Then let's go talk to her.
- [sighs]
579
00:27:28,813 --> 00:27:30,523
- Come on!
- Fine.
580
00:27:37,822 --> 00:27:39,032
Lynae.
581
00:27:57,008 --> 00:27:58,718
[sighs] Damn.
582
00:28:00,845 --> 00:28:03,639
Well, it looks like they
went out without permission.
583
00:28:03,723 --> 00:28:06,851
Yeah. I don't blame 'em.
584
00:28:06,935 --> 00:28:09,020
Now I'm gonna be up
all night worryin'.
585
00:28:09,104 --> 00:28:10,646
Hey.
It's gonna be okay.
586
00:28:10,730 --> 00:28:12,231
They're gonna be fine.
587
00:28:12,315 --> 00:28:14,650
That's what we said
about Kiesha.
588
00:28:14,734 --> 00:28:17,612
Jazzy music continues
589
00:28:27,038 --> 00:28:29,332
[phone vibrates]
590
00:28:50,228 --> 00:28:53,398
[background chatter]
591
00:29:04,826 --> 00:29:08,163
Good evening.
Could we get started, please?
592
00:29:15,170 --> 00:29:16,921
Okay!
593
00:29:17,630 --> 00:29:21,967
Well, tonight I have the
distinct honor of introducing
594
00:29:22,051 --> 00:29:24,887
one of the co-founders
of Community Protection
595
00:29:24,971 --> 00:29:28,349
and this beautiful space
that we're in, Trinity House.
596
00:29:28,433 --> 00:29:31,686
Victor Taylor has been
a pillar of his community,
597
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:34,355
and he's someone you can trust.
598
00:29:34,439 --> 00:29:38,401
So please join me
in giving a very warm welcome
599
00:29:38,485 --> 00:29:40,569
to the love of my life
600
00:29:40,653 --> 00:29:44,365
and your future city
councilman, Victor Taylor.
601
00:29:44,449 --> 00:29:46,242
- Whoo!
- Yeah.
602
00:29:46,326 --> 00:29:48,203
All right!
603
00:29:48,776 --> 00:29:49,986
What up?
604
00:29:52,767 --> 00:29:54,018
What up, y'all?
605
00:29:54,258 --> 00:29:56,384
Thank you so much
for coming out tonight.
606
00:29:56,507 --> 00:29:58,420
First, I wanna send
a shout out to ROCK
607
00:29:58,505 --> 00:30:00,715
and my lovely lady, Tierra,
608
00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:03,592
for putting this together
for us.
609
00:30:03,676 --> 00:30:05,386
For those of you
who don't know,
610
00:30:05,470 --> 00:30:07,722
Ward Night
is usually an opportunity
611
00:30:07,806 --> 00:30:11,183
for elected officials
to hear from the people.
612
00:30:11,267 --> 00:30:14,061
Well, I'm not
an elected official.
613
00:30:14,145 --> 00:30:15,771
Not yet.
614
00:30:15,855 --> 00:30:17,982
- [laughter]
- That's my mama.
615
00:30:19,901 --> 00:30:23,738
Last year, my baby brother
was one of the many Chicagoans
616
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:26,449
that were brutalized
by the CPD.
617
00:30:26,533 --> 00:30:28,117
And though he's not perfect,
618
00:30:28,201 --> 00:30:30,578
former Mayor Perry
did take a brave step
619
00:30:30,662 --> 00:30:32,663
in standing up
for the community
620
00:30:32,747 --> 00:30:34,915
and defunding the police.
621
00:30:34,999 --> 00:30:36,459
I've been one of the folks
on the ground
622
00:30:36,543 --> 00:30:37,793
with our homegrown alternative
623
00:30:37,877 --> 00:30:40,171
we like to call
Community Protection.
624
00:30:40,255 --> 00:30:42,631
And tonight I just wanna
open up the floor
625
00:30:42,715 --> 00:30:44,842
to hear from you.
626
00:30:44,926 --> 00:30:46,302
What's working?
627
00:30:46,386 --> 00:30:50,264
What's something
we could be doing better?
628
00:30:50,348 --> 00:30:52,975
What's something you think
I should know?
629
00:30:53,059 --> 00:30:56,437
I'm here to serve y'all,
so... don't be shy.
630
00:30:58,308 --> 00:31:01,642

00:31:59,792 --> 00:32:01,168

[cheers and applause]
663
00:32:13,598 --> 00:32:15,975
I ain't try in to rap
in nobody's charity event.
664
00:32:16,059 --> 00:32:17,893
Okay. Where else you getting
booked to rap at?
665
00:32:17,977 --> 00:32:21,856
Look, just tune 'em out
and think of this as practice.
666
00:32:23,107 --> 00:32:26,611
- Okay.
- Okay? Just go. Go!
667
00:32:44,545 --> 00:32:46,797
Okay, y'all must a

When I'm talkin', this big
body bends in the womb
669
00:32:48,841 --> 00:32:50,217
I deserve your round
of applause
670
00:32:50,301 --> 00:32:51,969
Yeah, pressure
671
00:32:52,053 --> 00:32:53,596
You cannot out-finesse
a finesser
672
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,264
Elite on any one
of your spectrums
673
00:32:55,348 --> 00:32:57,099
Brilliant as she built
like a blessin'
674
00:32:57,183 --> 00:32:58,434
Princess of my city,
I stand on it
675
00:32:58,518 --> 00:32:59,810
Pen pal, you heard

Ma is ha the GOAT, my bad,

00:33:06,693 --> 00:33:07,902
No, I ain't need me

00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:10,905
- Whatever platform...
- Whoo hoo hoo!

00:33:10,989 --> 00:33:12,406
Now, mama got

And I got all the sieves
683
00:33:14,534 --> 00:33:15,743
'Cause I told her

684
00:33:15,827 --> 00:33:17,578
She kept me gangster,

685
00:33:17,662 --> 00:33:19,121
So part of my hug

Usin' my gift-givin' body

To build a foundation
to make that bitch fold

00:33:22,625 --> 00:33:24,209
I'll make a hit
off a beat box
689
00:33:24,293 --> 00:33:25,586
I used to run outta
Reeboks
690
00:33:25,670 --> 00:33:27,129

00:33:27,213 --> 00:33:28,964
He up there braggin'

A friend of my royalty,

I'm more than me, childhood

[cheers and applause]
698
00:33:44,772 --> 00:33:46,566
All right, Ma is ha!
699
00:33:52,739 --> 00:33:53,989
Happy?
700
00:33:54,073 --> 00:33:56,116
Yes, that was good.
701
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,369
But you could work
on your stage presence
702
00:33:58,453 --> 00:33:59,870
- and your diction.
- My what?
703
00:33:59,954 --> 00:34:02,206
Sometimes
you mumble your words.
704
00:34:02,290 --> 00:34:03,624
And what you're saying
is great.
705
00:34:03,708 --> 00:34:05,125
So I just want to hear it.
706
00:34:05,209 --> 00:34:08,545
Okay. Ha.
I'll work on that.
707
00:34:08,629 --> 00:34:10,173
[both laugh]
708
00:34:11,883 --> 00:34:14,009
[Emmett] You gettin'
big and strong.
709
00:34:14,093 --> 00:34:17,972
[EJ making engine sounds]
710
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:19,431
Daddy, I'm bored.
711
00:34:19,515 --> 00:34:22,017
You bored?
Well, go outside.
712
00:34:22,101 --> 00:34:24,353
- It's too cold outside.
- What?
713
00:34:24,437 --> 00:34:26,313
That's what my mom used
to tell me when I was bored.
714
00:34:26,397 --> 00:34:28,023
No.
This is a new generation.
715
00:34:28,107 --> 00:34:29,692
Can I watch TV?
716
00:34:29,776 --> 00:34:33,696
Nah, you done had
enough screen time for today.
717
00:34:33,780 --> 00:34:35,864
How about... we build a fort?
718
00:34:35,948 --> 00:34:38,117
- Yeah, Daddy!
- Let's build a fort!
719
00:34:38,201 --> 00:34:39,911
- [EJ] Yeah!
- Come on.
720
00:34:40,244 --> 00:34:43,831
I could be the one
to out-praise ya
721
00:34:43,915 --> 00:34:46,917
Show you about all these
different flavors
722
00:34:47,001 --> 00:34:49,670
Baby, we could do it big
like the majors
723
00:34:49,754 --> 00:34:53,424
Let me put you out
on all the front pages
724
00:34:53,508 --> 00:34:56,677
I could be the one
to out-praise you
725
00:34:56,761 --> 00:34:59,930
Lemme show you about
all these different flavors
726
00:35:00,014 --> 00:35:03,017
Baby, we could do it big

727
00:35:03,101 --> 00:35:05,477

Who shakin' up
that black bottle, bottle?
749
00:35:58,823 --> 00:36:00,825
This is the volunteer schedule.
750
00:36:03,494 --> 00:36:05,329
We only accept
free store donations
751
00:36:05,413 --> 00:36:07,831
Monday through Wednesday,
752
00:36:07,915 --> 00:36:09,958
and somebody needs to be here
every day by 6:00 a.m.
753
00:36:10,042 --> 00:36:12,128
to unlock the kitchen
for books and breakfast.
754
00:36:13,796 --> 00:36:15,714
This could be
a good thing if you let it.
755
00:36:15,798 --> 00:36:17,674
Listen, if you do
anything to damage
756
00:36:17,758 --> 00:36:20,594
what I've built,
I promise I'll kill you myself.
757
00:36:20,678 --> 00:36:22,096
My goal is to make sure
758
00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:24,473
that ROCK is the type
of organization
759
00:36:24,557 --> 00:36:26,433
that famous people
want to donate to.
760
00:36:26,517 --> 00:36:28,644
[Tracy] I don't care
about famous people.
761
00:36:28,728 --> 00:36:31,313
I started ROCK to honor my son.
762
00:36:31,397 --> 00:36:33,732
You started ROCK
because you feel guilty.
763
00:36:33,816 --> 00:36:36,068
I know that you sent Ronnie
764
00:36:36,152 --> 00:36:38,445
to kill the kid
that killed your son.
765
00:36:38,529 --> 00:36:40,489
Problem is,
he killed the wrong kid,
766
00:36:40,573 --> 00:36:42,908
which in turn got him shot.
767
00:36:42,992 --> 00:36:44,576
Sounds like I'm not the one
768
00:36:44,660 --> 00:36:46,704
who's causing all
the damage around here.
769
00:36:55,046 --> 00:36:56,422
[Victor] Yes.
770
00:36:58,758 --> 00:37:01,927
Aren't you taking credit for
the labor of a trans woman
771
00:37:02,011 --> 00:37:04,388
by claiming you founded
Trinity House?
772
00:37:07,225 --> 00:37:11,061
Well, like my lady said,
I helped co-found it,
773
00:37:11,145 --> 00:37:13,397
which I did.
774
00:37:13,481 --> 00:37:17,067
But now I'm doing everything
I can to keep these doors open.
775
00:37:17,151 --> 00:37:19,444
Look, I've never shied away
from the fact
776
00:37:19,528 --> 00:37:21,363
that this community
has been built
777
00:37:21,447 --> 00:37:24,992
on the backs of Black women
working hard to keep us safe.
778
00:37:25,076 --> 00:37:26,618
And Trinity House was founded
779
00:37:26,702 --> 00:37:29,997
by a Black trans woman
named Imani.
780
00:37:30,081 --> 00:37:33,333
She had the courage to speak up
when no one else would.
781
00:37:33,417 --> 00:37:36,712
She transformed this place
into a safe space for women.
782
00:37:36,796 --> 00:37:39,214
And she helped make me
the man I am today.
783
00:37:39,298 --> 00:37:43,051
Now I've taken on more
of a leadership role
784
00:37:43,135 --> 00:37:45,053
since she's moved back home,
785
00:37:45,137 --> 00:37:49,767
but I will always,
always give her her flowers.
786
00:37:52,478 --> 00:37:55,689
Thank you.
Any more questions?
787
00:37:55,773 --> 00:37:57,191
Gotta keep it one hundo
788
00:37:57,275 --> 00:38:00,861
rapping continues
789
00:38:00,945 --> 00:38:02,654
[Jemma] I know your heart
is set on the college thing,
790
00:38:02,738 --> 00:38:04,990
but if you wanna
lean more into music,
791
00:38:05,074 --> 00:38:07,117
maybe I can help you.
792
00:38:07,201 --> 00:38:08,869
How?
793
00:38:08,953 --> 00:38:11,538
Maybe I can manage you.
794
00:38:11,622 --> 00:38:14,917
What you trying to do,
be the Earn to my Paper Boi?
795
00:38:15,001 --> 00:38:16,627
[laughs]
Something like that. Yeah.
796
00:38:18,004 --> 00:38:19,839
I don't know.
797
00:38:21,340 --> 00:38:22,841
What's that smell?
798
00:38:22,925 --> 00:38:25,093
Um... Smokey's.
799
00:38:25,177 --> 00:38:27,638
Does it smell weird to you?
800
00:38:27,722 --> 00:38:29,556
No.
801
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,440
All I got left
is beef ribs and gizzards.
802
00:38:43,821 --> 00:38:45,405
[Ma is ha] Oh shit.
803
00:38:45,489 --> 00:38:48,116
True, stay true
804
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,285
True, I need you to keep it
real with me
805
00:38:52,038 --> 00:38:55,499
I, uh, I really appreciate
that question.
806
00:38:58,044 --> 00:39:00,295
No, you didn't.
807
00:39:00,379 --> 00:39:04,716
But you handled it well,
I guess.
808
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,385
I was sweating.
809
00:39:06,469 --> 00:39:08,845
Ha, yeah, I was about to
get you a paper towel.
810
00:39:08,929 --> 00:39:11,140
- [both laugh]
- It's nice to meet you.
811
00:39:13,434 --> 00:39:14,601
Fatima.
812
00:39:14,685 --> 00:39:16,019
It's a beautiful name.
813
00:39:16,103 --> 00:39:18,105
Thank you.
I gave it to myself.
814
00:39:18,189 --> 00:39:20,023
Oh really?
815
00:39:20,107 --> 00:39:21,566
I'm the one that wrote
the article
816
00:39:21,650 --> 00:39:23,610
about who the folks
wanted to see run.
817
00:39:23,694 --> 00:39:26,989
Oh. I didn't
get that many votes.
818
00:39:27,073 --> 00:39:29,283
No. But, you know,
819
00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:30,617
enough folks
talked to me about you
820
00:39:30,701 --> 00:39:32,869
to get that honorable mention.
821
00:39:32,953 --> 00:39:35,122
That's why I'm working
on getting my name out there.
822
00:39:35,206 --> 00:39:38,709
Well, I see, uh, Tierra
is helping with that.
823
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,254
[Victor] She's amazing.
824
00:39:42,338 --> 00:39:44,882
She's everything
voters could want.
825
00:39:47,259 --> 00:39:48,677
When did you
and Imani break up?
826
00:39:48,761 --> 00:39:51,305
Are you interviewing me?
827
00:39:51,389 --> 00:39:53,098
- Is this... Is that what this is?
- Off the record.
828
00:39:53,182 --> 00:39:55,309
I don't want to focus
on the past.
829
00:39:55,393 --> 00:39:57,269
Tonight is about
the city's future.
830
00:39:57,353 --> 00:40:00,022
And what do you have planned?
831
00:40:00,106 --> 00:40:03,150
Whatever they need.
I care about these people.
832
00:40:03,234 --> 00:40:05,611
It's not just a career
move for me.
833
00:40:07,405 --> 00:40:09,489
I believe you.
834
00:40:09,573 --> 00:40:11,283
I ain't got
nothing to lie about.
835
00:40:11,367 --> 00:40:15,621
Victor, I have been
looking all over for you.
836
00:40:16,956 --> 00:40:19,416
There are some voters here
that need to speak to you.
837
00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:21,418
Okay. I'll be right there.
838
00:40:21,502 --> 00:40:24,046
It was nice to talk to you.
839
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,381
I hope we can keep
the conversation going.
840
00:40:26,465 --> 00:40:29,051
I'd like that.
841
00:40:29,135 --> 00:40:31,387
- Shall we?
- [Tierra] We shall.
842
00:40:33,264 --> 00:40:34,389
We're not done yet.
843
00:40:34,473 --> 00:40:36,600
We have a few more people
that need...
844
00:40:38,978 --> 00:40:40,396
[knock on door]
845
00:40:50,197 --> 00:40:51,407
Oh.
846
00:40:53,075 --> 00:40:54,409
What is all this?
847
00:40:54,493 --> 00:40:56,244
Well, don't take
a whole day
848
00:40:56,328 --> 00:40:58,413
to recognize sunshine.
849
00:40:58,497 --> 00:41:01,249
Aww. Darnell.
850
00:41:01,333 --> 00:41:02,834
All right.
All right, woman.
851
00:41:02,918 --> 00:41:04,836
- Come on, take this.
- Okay, okay, okay.
852
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:06,421
Go back there. Get dressed.
853
00:41:06,505 --> 00:41:08,256
- I like the new Darnell.
- We got reservations.
854
00:41:08,340 --> 00:41:09,700
- [Jada] Oh!
- [laughs]
855
00:41:11,969 --> 00:41:14,930
Mellow instrumental
856
00:41:47,671 --> 00:41:50,173
This can't be happening.
857
00:41:50,257 --> 00:41:51,466
Don't stress out yet.
858
00:41:51,550 --> 00:41:56,096
We got like...
a few more minutes.
859
00:41:56,180 --> 00:41:57,639
Stop staring at it!
860
00:41:57,723 --> 00:42:00,392
I'm just making sure
you did it right.
861
00:42:00,476 --> 00:42:02,144
I can't be pregnant.
862
00:42:02,228 --> 00:42:03,812
Well, there's a 50% chance
you could be.
863
00:42:03,896 --> 00:42:05,439
This isn't funny.
864
00:42:05,523 --> 00:42:06,982
You just mad
'cause you pregnant.
865
00:42:07,066 --> 00:42:08,984
Oh my God.
Is that what it says?
866
00:42:09,068 --> 00:42:10,735
No results yet.
867
00:42:10,819 --> 00:42:12,530
Stop scaring me.
868
00:42:15,324 --> 00:42:17,159
What would you do
if you are?
869
00:42:17,243 --> 00:42:18,618
I don't even want
to think about...
870
00:42:18,702 --> 00:42:21,288
- Who would you tell first?
- Ma is ha. Stop.
871
00:42:21,372 --> 00:42:22,831
Okay. Okay.
I said sorry.
872
00:42:22,915 --> 00:42:25,376
[beeping]
873
00:42:31,924 --> 00:42:33,759
It's time.
874
00:42:36,887 --> 00:42:39,848
You, uh, want to hold
my hand?
875
00:42:41,976 --> 00:42:43,352
[Jemma sighs]
876
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,234
Fuck!
877
00:42:54,989 --> 00:42:56,656
Excuse me, y'all.
Can I borrow him
878
00:42:56,740 --> 00:42:59,576
for a second, please?
Let me holla at you real quick.
879
00:42:59,660 --> 00:43:02,537
[mellow music in background]
880
00:43:02,621 --> 00:43:04,539
- What's up?
- Nigga.
881
00:43:04,623 --> 00:43:06,708
Is you stupid?
How are you going to push up
882
00:43:06,792 --> 00:43:08,543
on another woman
in front of all these people?
883
00:43:08,627 --> 00:43:10,987
Man, I ain't push up on nobody.
We was just talking.
884
00:43:12,131 --> 00:43:13,673
Nigga, please.
885
00:43:13,757 --> 00:43:15,467
I ain't never seen you look
at Tierra like that.
886
00:43:15,551 --> 00:43:17,761
Yeah. That's because
we are just bidness.
887
00:43:18,762 --> 00:43:22,015
Look, man, I ain't
even gonna hold you, okay?
888
00:43:22,099 --> 00:43:25,060
But judging from what I saw
earlier this evening, man,
889
00:43:25,144 --> 00:43:26,895
you could go all the way
with this thing, man.
890
00:43:26,979 --> 00:43:28,396
Many of these people'll
vote for you
891
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:29,689
no matter who you fucking.
892
00:43:29,773 --> 00:43:31,691
Man, this just one town hall,
all right?
893
00:43:31,775 --> 00:43:33,235
I need these people
to believe in me,
894
00:43:33,319 --> 00:43:35,029
and Tierra
is helping with that.
895
00:43:37,031 --> 00:43:38,698
Want to win that bad, huh?
896
00:43:38,782 --> 00:43:41,034
I want to help people, man.
897
00:43:41,118 --> 00:43:42,744
See, that's what I'm saying.
898
00:43:42,828 --> 00:43:45,705
Man, they got gay mayors.
They got trans senators.
899
00:43:45,789 --> 00:43:47,207
All types of shit
out here, man.
900
00:43:47,291 --> 00:43:48,959
You ain't gotta lie to win.
901
00:43:49,043 --> 00:43:50,919
Man, my followers
is going up.
902
00:43:51,003 --> 00:43:55,757
We got new folks visiting
ROCK every day, every day.
903
00:43:55,841 --> 00:43:57,259
I mean, that's true.
904
00:43:57,343 --> 00:43:59,928
I just don't want
to rock the boat now.
905
00:44:02,514 --> 00:44:03,849
- A'ight.
- A'ight?
906
00:44:18,656 --> 00:44:20,407
Oh my God. Oh my God.
Oh my God.
907
00:44:20,491 --> 00:44:22,117
Don't call on him now.
908
00:44:22,201 --> 00:44:23,368
[Jemma] What should I do?
909
00:44:23,452 --> 00:44:24,869
[Ma is ha]
You need to tell Jake ass.
910
00:44:24,953 --> 00:44:28,123
[sighs]
What do you think he'll say?
911
00:44:28,207 --> 00:44:29,291
[Ma is ha] He'll probably be
cool about it.
912
00:44:29,375 --> 00:44:30,584
Really?
913
00:44:30,668 --> 00:44:31,960
Yeah. He the type
914
00:44:32,044 --> 00:44:33,837
to take care
of his responsibilities.
915
00:44:37,466 --> 00:44:40,135
Have you ever been
in this situation?
916
00:44:40,219 --> 00:44:43,514
Ha. Hell no. I know
how not to get pregnant.
917
00:44:48,894 --> 00:44:52,314
Um, how are we supposed
to keep the conversation going
918
00:44:52,398 --> 00:44:54,775
when, uh, I don't
even have your number?
919
00:44:56,276 --> 00:44:58,111
I know how to find you.
920
00:44:58,195 --> 00:44:59,946
All right.
921
00:45:00,030 --> 00:45:03,575
You know what?
I know what you're doing.
922
00:45:03,659 --> 00:45:05,368
What's that?
923
00:45:05,452 --> 00:45:07,912
You're making
folks feel comfortable.
924
00:45:07,996 --> 00:45:10,248
Hmm.
I know where you're getting at.
925
00:45:10,332 --> 00:45:11,750
Oh, do you?
926
00:45:11,834 --> 00:45:15,378
Yes. And love it
if we could go somewhere
927
00:45:15,462 --> 00:45:18,048
and talk...
maybe off the record.
928
00:45:19,550 --> 00:45:21,719
I want to show you the real me.
929
00:45:23,721 --> 00:45:25,222
Okay.
930
00:45:30,936 --> 00:45:32,854
Soft jazz
931
00:45:32,938 --> 00:45:35,357
[phone keys clicking]
932
00:45:39,051 --> 00:45:41,720
I'll leave my...
pen and pad at home.
933
00:45:58,088 --> 00:46:01,341
I'll take a glass
of your best red.
934
00:46:01,425 --> 00:46:03,718
Y'all ain't got
no Crown Royal?
935
00:46:03,802 --> 00:46:05,345
[server] I doubt it.
936
00:46:05,429 --> 00:46:06,971
Just bring me
whatever brown liquor y'all got
937
00:46:07,055 --> 00:46:09,641
and bring the lovely lady
a whole bottle
938
00:46:09,725 --> 00:46:12,644
of the most expensive real wine
y'all got back there.
939
00:46:16,940 --> 00:46:19,401
- Look at you.
- Yeah.
940
00:46:19,485 --> 00:46:22,529
Don't you even think about
ordering no dessert either.
941
00:46:22,613 --> 00:46:26,491
Wow. See, there goes
the old Darnell.
942
00:46:26,575 --> 00:46:28,910
What I mean, woman, is
943
00:46:28,994 --> 00:46:31,705
you the only dessert
I want to have tonight.
944
00:46:31,789 --> 00:46:33,665
- Hmm?
- Mmm.
945
00:46:33,749 --> 00:46:35,417
What if I want
a real dessert?
946
00:46:35,501 --> 00:46:37,544
Oh, shit.
When we get home,
947
00:46:37,628 --> 00:46:39,421
then I'll make you
a Darnell Sundae.
948
00:46:39,505 --> 00:46:42,257
[both laughing]
949
00:46:42,341 --> 00:46:44,926
Look here, I am not
lickin' no whip cream.
950
00:46:45,010 --> 00:46:47,554
[mutters, laughs]
951
00:46:47,638 --> 00:46:50,348
Like I used to in high school.
952
00:46:50,432 --> 00:46:51,599
Why not?
953
00:46:51,683 --> 00:46:53,101
- Ooh!
- Ha ha ha ha ha!
954
00:46:53,185 --> 00:46:55,228
You drunk?
955
00:46:55,312 --> 00:46:57,939
No, but, uh...
956
00:46:58,023 --> 00:47:01,568
in all seriousness,
you were right.
957
00:47:01,652 --> 00:47:06,030
I can't just demand your love.
I gotta earn it.
958
00:47:06,114 --> 00:47:09,409
Pshh. I done lost too much time
with you.
959
00:47:09,493 --> 00:47:13,997
Now, I'm gonna make sure
I do everything it takes
960
00:47:14,081 --> 00:47:15,761
to make sure
I don't lose you again.
961
00:47:17,584 --> 00:47:19,545
Aw, Darnell.
962
00:47:27,219 --> 00:47:29,971
- [giggling]
- I love you.
963
00:47:30,055 --> 00:47:32,807
Me too.
964
00:47:32,891 --> 00:47:36,436
Jazzy dinner music

[ahem]
Hey.

00:48:05,132 --> 00:48:07,884
- What you doing?
- Uh, I-I was asleep.
968
00:48:07,968 --> 00:48:10,345
You fell asleep
on the couch again?
969
00:48:10,429 --> 00:48:11,805
What you want?
970
00:48:11,889 --> 00:48:13,139
[Tiff] Don't get
disrespectful, nigga.
971
00:48:13,223 --> 00:48:15,433
- [Emmett] I'm not.

972
00:48:15,517 --> 00:48:17,060
[Emmett] He asleep.
973
00:48:17,144 --> 00:48:18,728
[Tiff] Okay. I just wanted
to tell him good morning
974
00:48:18,812 --> 00:48:20,563
before he went to daycare.
975
00:48:20,647 --> 00:48:22,273
A'ight, I'll Face Time you

976
00:48:22,357 --> 00:48:24,067
A'ight. You good?

00:48:24,151 --> 00:48:25,652
Yeah.
978
00:48:25,736 --> 00:48:27,028
You sure?
You seem a little short.
979
00:48:27,112 --> 00:48:28,655
I just woke up, Tiff.
980
00:48:28,739 --> 00:48:30,198
A'ight. Just call me
with my baby
981
00:48:30,282 --> 00:48:31,366
before you drop him off.
982
00:48:31,450 --> 00:48:33,364
All right. Bye.
983
00:48:37,706 --> 00:48:39,374
You good?
984
00:48:39,458 --> 00:48:40,875
Yeah.
985
00:48:40,959 --> 00:48:42,377
Why you ain't
tell her I was here?
986
00:48:42,461 --> 00:48:44,295
I didn't feel like I had to.
987
00:48:44,379 --> 00:48:46,506
- Why not?
- I don't know.
988
00:48:46,590 --> 00:48:48,883
You feel guilty?
989
00:48:48,967 --> 00:48:51,219
I just didn't think
it was necessary, that's all.
990
00:48:51,303 --> 00:48:54,556
