Hi!

Nice to meet you, Morgan.
What did you bring us?

159
00:07:54,475 --> 00:07:56,560
I love to cook, so I made deviled eggs.

160
00:08:00,689 --> 00:08:02,566
Ooh. Ah. Messy. [chuckles]

161
00:08:04,109 --> 00:08:05,361
-[Cocoa] Mm.
-All right.

162

[Grandpa] Why, thank you.

163
00:08:07,446 --> 00:08:10,074
Mm. Morgan, these are delicious.

164
00:08:10,991 --> 00:08:13,786
-Thank you, sir.
-Aren't they the best you've ever had?

165
00:08:13,869 --> 00:08:16,413
They're almost as good as my deviled eggs.

166
00:08:16,497 --> 00:08:21,377
Almost. Don't forget, my deviled eggs
were my secret to landing you.

167
00:08:21,460 --> 00:08:25,506
That's right, sweetheart. Your beauty
and personality had nothing to do with it.

00:08:27,299 --> 00:08:30,469
Well, Melly got me
with her sweet potato pie.

169
00:08:32,012 --> 00:08:33,764
And her mac and cheese.

170
00:08:34,765 --> 00:08:37,268
Pretty much everything.
You've tasted her cookin'.

171
00:08:38,811 --> 00:08:42,773
I didn't know what you wanted to drink,
Mrs. McKellan, so I brought a selection.

172
00:08:42,856 --> 00:08:45,651
Aww, aren't you a dear?

173
00:08:45,734 --> 00:08:47,069
Thank you.

174
00:08:47,653 --> 00:08:48,862
Such a kiss-butt.

175
00:08:52,074 --> 00:08:55,494
-Okay. The first clue is…
-[insects chittering, birds hooting]

176
00:08:55,578 --> 00:08:58,205
"What has hands and a face
but cannot smile?"

177
00:08:59,540 --> 00:09:00,749
Hmm.

178
00:09:00,833 --> 00:09:04,211
I'd say a clock,
but I don't see one around here.

179
00:09:06,297 --> 00:09:08,507
Look! It's a sundial.

180
00:09:08,591 --> 00:09:11,218
Well, why wouldn't they just say that?

181
00:09:12,011 --> 00:09:14,305
The answer
must have something to do with it.

182
00:09:14,388 --> 00:09:15,222
Oh!

183
00:09:15,848 --> 00:09:17,808
[screams] A spider!

184
00:09:18,434 --> 00:09:20,394
-Ohh!
-M'Dear, look, it's just a little one.

185
00:09:20,477 --> 00:09:22,438
You're way bigger than it.
Just stomp on it.

186
00:09:22,521 --> 00:09:25,733
I'm way bigger than you too.
Maybe I should just stomp on you.

187
00:09:27,985 --> 00:09:28,986
Daniel?

188
00:09:29,945 --> 00:09:31,989
Daniel, baby, get us outta here!

189
00:09:32,072 --> 00:09:33,532
-[door rattling]
-[Daniel grunting]

190
00:09:33,616 --> 00:09:37,745
I'm trying to let you out, but the system
seems to be malfunctioning.

191
00:09:37,828 --> 00:09:41,457
Well, un-malfunction it
and get me outta here!

192
00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:42,625
[grunting]

193
00:09:43,584 --> 00:09:45,085
I'm sorry, it won't work, M'Dear.

194
00:09:45,169 --> 00:09:48,005
You're gonna have to solve the puzzle,
find the key,

195
00:09:48,088 --> 00:09:50,257
and use it
to open the door from the inside.

196
00:09:50,341 --> 00:09:53,302
But there's, like, 40 clues in here.
That could take hours!

197
00:09:53,385 --> 00:09:55,012
Call your boss and tell him we're stuck.

198
00:09:55,095 --> 00:09:59,642
Well, yeah, I-- I could, but then he might
blame me for the malfunction and fire me.

199
00:09:59,725 --> 00:10:01,810
So what? You're used to that!

200
00:10:01,894 --> 00:10:02,853
[grunts]

201
00:10:03,354 --> 00:10:06,690
Trust me,
I'm trying as hard as I can! [grunts]

202
00:10:07,441 --> 00:10:10,361
[whimpers] We're trapped.
[breathing heavily]

203
00:10:10,444 --> 00:10:11,403
We're trapped.

204
00:10:11,487 --> 00:10:12,488
[M'Dear groans]

205
00:10:13,238 --> 00:10:15,074
I-- I'm-- I'm feeling so hot.

206
00:10:16,909 --> 00:10:18,994
[panting] I can't catch my breath.

207
00:10:19,078 --> 00:10:23,707
-M'Dear! It's okay. Just breathe. Breathe.
-[panting] I'm not breathing?

208
00:10:23,791 --> 00:10:27,503
Did I stop breathing? Oh! Get me a doctor!

209
00:10:27,586 --> 00:10:31,048
[moans] Mama, Daddy, is that you?

210
00:10:31,131 --> 00:10:32,675
No, no, no. You're okay.

211
00:10:32,758 --> 00:10:35,469
-Breathe in, in, in. Out. There you go.
-[panting]

212
00:10:38,514 --> 00:10:39,973
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

213
00:10:40,057 --> 00:10:42,685
Shaka and I picked these for you,
Mrs. McKellan.

214
00:10:43,977 --> 00:10:45,145
Uh…

215
00:10:45,229 --> 00:10:46,897
Okay. [chuckles] Thank you.

216
00:10:49,650 --> 00:10:52,152
Why is she trying so hard
to be nice to me?

217
00:10:52,820 --> 00:10:55,239
[chuckles] She wants to make
a good impression.

218
00:10:55,322 --> 00:10:58,242
-I do the same thing with Deon's mom.
-Yeah.

219
00:10:58,325 --> 00:10:59,576
And she hates it too.

220
00:11:00,452 --> 00:11:02,996
What? She does?
Why wouldn't you tell me that?

221
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,290
I want your mom to like me.
How do I make her like me?

222
00:11:05,874 --> 00:11:07,543
Well, I-- I could dump you.

223
00:11:08,168 --> 00:11:10,337
-[scoffs]
-All right, everything's ready!

224
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:13,048
Bring me a plate.
I'm gonna eat here in the hammock.

225
00:11:13,132 --> 00:11:15,467
This thing is so comfortable.

226
00:11:16,593 --> 00:11:18,929
I know. I can't wait to get back in it.

227
00:11:20,013 --> 00:11:21,056
Yeah, okay.

228
00:11:24,309 --> 00:11:25,894
[Dean] Mm. Ooh.

229
00:11:25,978 --> 00:11:29,565
Mr. McKellan, you really outdid yourself
with our vegan barbecue.

230
00:11:29,648 --> 00:11:32,234
You can hardly tell the difference
between this and real meat.

231
00:11:33,694 --> 00:11:36,113
Mm. [chuckles awkwardly]

232
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:37,531
Yeah. You can, um…

233
00:11:38,198 --> 00:11:39,742
really taste the humanity.

234
00:11:40,993 --> 00:11:42,745
I'm not even missing meat.

235
00:11:43,328 --> 00:11:44,747
Are you sure about that?

236
00:11:46,123 --> 00:11:48,584
Are you sure you don't want a bite--

237
00:11:49,626 --> 00:11:51,795
[Jade and Deon laughing]

238
00:11:51,879 --> 00:11:55,883
Oh, well, it's like M'Dear says,
"God don't like ugly."

239
00:11:55,966 --> 00:11:58,010
Well, I'm sure he likes ribs.

240
00:11:58,093 --> 00:12:01,555
That's why he invented
the five-second rule.

241
00:12:06,268 --> 00:12:08,270
♪ Yeah, yeah, uh ♪

242
00:12:09,188 --> 00:12:10,063
Okay.

243
00:12:10,147 --> 00:12:13,442
"Locate the snake
that protects the sarcophagus."

244
00:12:13,525 --> 00:12:16,695
"As it sheds its skin,
use the skin to tie a knot."

245
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:19,907
Tie a knot with snakeskin?

246
00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:20,866
[scoffs]

247
00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:22,326
I'd rather make a belt.

248
00:12:22,409 --> 00:12:23,619
[screams]

249
00:12:24,161 --> 00:12:25,913
A spider! [screams]

250
00:12:26,622 --> 00:12:29,374
No, no. M'Dear. Look.
It's just a piece of lint.

251
00:12:29,958 --> 00:12:33,712
I don't know why. I just keep feeling
like there's another spider on me.

252
00:12:33,796 --> 00:12:36,173
-M'Dear, the spider was never on you.
-[sighs]

253
00:12:37,341 --> 00:12:38,717
Why are you so scared of them?

254
00:12:41,512 --> 00:12:43,388
It's a long story.

255
00:12:45,015 --> 00:12:46,809
Well, I've got time.

256
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:48,977
And I love your stories.

257
00:12:52,481 --> 00:12:55,234
Well, since we're stuck in here.

258
00:12:57,820 --> 00:12:59,822
You know who Ruby Bridges is, right?

259
00:12:59,905 --> 00:13:03,408
Yes. She was the first Black kid to
integrate a white school in New Orleans.

260
00:13:03,992 --> 00:13:04,827
Right.

261
00:13:05,702 --> 00:13:07,162
Well, here in Columbus,

262
00:13:08,121 --> 00:13:10,916
I had my own integration story.

263
00:13:10,999 --> 00:13:12,543
-Really?
-Mm-hmm.

264
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:15,045
[sighs]

265
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:19,007
I went to an all-Black school
in an old, run-down building.

266
00:13:19,675 --> 00:13:21,760
We didn't even have a library.

267
00:13:21,844 --> 00:13:25,138
[sighs] Just a corner in a room

268
00:13:26,056 --> 00:13:27,641
with a few raggedy books.

269
00:13:27,724 --> 00:13:30,269
And I was such a big reader. [chuckles]

270
00:13:31,144 --> 00:13:33,438
A friend of my father's, a pastor,

271
00:13:33,939 --> 00:13:36,316
arranged that I could have privileges

272
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,194
where I could attend
the white school's library.

273
00:13:39,695 --> 00:13:40,529
[sighs]

274
00:13:40,612 --> 00:13:46,410
It was large and modern,
and filled with a thousand books.

275
00:13:46,493 --> 00:13:48,704
-[chuckles]
-[gasps] You must have loved going there.

276
00:13:48,787 --> 00:13:50,247
I did.

277
00:13:51,373 --> 00:13:52,207
But

278
00:13:52,833 --> 00:13:55,669
some of the white folks,
they didn't like it.

279
00:13:56,211 --> 00:13:57,045
[sighs]

280
00:13:57,129 --> 00:14:02,092
And that put me on the radar
of this low-down son of a gun.

281
00:14:03,010 --> 00:14:03,844
Oh…

282
00:14:05,888 --> 00:14:07,139
Jimmy Ballard.

283
00:14:08,015 --> 00:14:11,602
In 1960, I was a smart, obedient child.

284
00:14:11,685 --> 00:14:13,145
I rarely ate sweets.

285
00:14:13,228 --> 00:14:18,567
So, this particular afternoon,
I was enjoying a special treat.

286
00:14:18,650 --> 00:14:21,486
A small cone of vanilla ice cream.

287
00:14:25,324 --> 00:14:27,492
Well, lookee here.

288
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,871
You're that colored girl
everybody's talking about so much.

289
00:14:30,954 --> 00:14:33,332
Hi. I'm Amelia Williams.

290
00:14:33,916 --> 00:14:34,750
I'm Jimmy.

291
00:14:35,250 --> 00:14:36,126
Ballard.

292
00:14:36,627 --> 00:14:38,337
Hey! That's not nice!

293
00:14:39,087 --> 00:14:40,339
Ohh.

294
00:14:40,422 --> 00:14:43,175
What you gonna do? Tell on me?

295
00:14:44,176 --> 00:14:46,428
[laughs] Nobody's gonna care.

296
00:14:46,511 --> 00:14:47,596
[laughing]

297
00:14:49,973 --> 00:14:50,891
[Mazzi groans]

298
00:14:51,558 --> 00:14:53,101
I can't stand bullies.

299
00:14:53,185 --> 00:14:54,019
Me either.

300
00:14:55,312 --> 00:14:58,315
And Jimmy, he was the worst kind of bully.

301
00:14:58,941 --> 00:15:01,944
Dumb, racist, and untouchable.

302
00:15:02,027 --> 00:15:05,113
His daddy was the police chief!

303
00:15:05,822 --> 00:15:07,908
You got no business in our library.

304
00:15:08,575 --> 00:15:09,993
Colored folks is ignorant.

305
00:15:10,494 --> 00:15:12,496
You probably can't even read good.
[laughs mockingly]

306
00:15:12,579 --> 00:15:14,164
Please just leave me alone.

307
00:15:16,458 --> 00:15:17,376
Ow.

308
00:15:18,293 --> 00:15:20,253
[laughing]

309
00:15:22,714 --> 00:15:23,924
[knocking on door]

310
00:15:24,007 --> 00:15:26,051
-[Daniel] M'Dear?
-[knocking continues]

311
00:15:26,510 --> 00:15:27,970
It's me, Daniel!

312
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,180
Is the door lock fixed?

313
00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:31,765
Uh, n-no, but…

314
00:15:32,265 --> 00:15:36,019
Well, your favorite son is starving.
Can you spot me for lunch?

315
00:15:36,103 --> 00:15:38,271
How can you give him money
when we're locked in here?

316
00:15:39,231 --> 00:15:40,440
Watch this.

317
00:15:41,024 --> 00:15:43,652
Baby,
just stick your fingers under the door.

318
00:15:43,735 --> 00:15:46,446
[Daniel] Oh! Okay. You see 'em?

319
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,115
-Yep!
-[stomping]

320
00:15:48,198 --> 00:15:50,242
-Yep!
-[Daniel screaming]

[utensils clanging]

323
00:16:01,336 --> 00:16:02,212
[Morgan] Ow!

324
00:16:03,755 --> 00:16:05,716
[stifled laughing]

-[Cocoa yells]
-[gasps]

326
00:16:15,058 --> 00:16:18,437
I am so sorry, Mrs. McKellan!
I did not mean to hit you.

327
00:16:19,271 --> 00:16:21,106
No… no, it's fine.

328
00:16:21,732 --> 00:16:22,899
It's fine.

329
00:16:22,983 --> 00:16:27,946
It's just a priceless piece of art
from my son's childhood. [sighs shakily]

330
00:16:28,030 --> 00:16:29,656
It should be easy to replace.

331
00:16:31,116 --> 00:16:32,659
I'll go get some paper towels.

332
00:16:34,202 --> 00:16:36,455
It's just a shirt, Mom. Calm down!

333
00:16:37,372 --> 00:16:40,250
Calm down?
What is he talking about? I am calm.

334
00:16:40,333 --> 00:16:41,418
[chuckles softly]

335
00:16:42,169 --> 00:16:43,045
Ah.

336
00:16:43,754 --> 00:16:46,381
Well, look who's finally awake.
What's so funny, Pop?

337
00:16:46,465 --> 00:16:47,466
[Grandpa sighs]

338
00:16:48,216 --> 00:16:51,386
Cocoa is behaving
like somebody we know very, very well.

339
00:16:51,470 --> 00:16:53,138
[scoffs] Who?
