176
00:06:33,327 --> 00:06:35,112
I know how to question a child
about the truth.

177
00:06:35,242 --> 00:06:35,939
Sean, come over here, baby.

178
00:06:38,855 --> 00:06:40,508
See, you got three in one hand
and four in the other.

179
00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:41,858
They fit together snug.

180
00:06:41,988 --> 00:06:43,947
You gotta make it
look effortless,

181
00:06:44,034 --> 00:06:45,644
like you just pick things up
like this all the time.

182
00:06:45,775 --> 00:06:47,211
That's Black boy magic.

183
00:06:47,341 --> 00:06:48,908
I don't think his Blackness

184
00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:50,780
is attached
to how he holds his dominoes.

185
00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:51,911
-Am I supposed to go now?
-[Nancy] Yeah.

186
00:06:52,042 --> 00:06:53,304
I'm tryin' to give him

187
00:06:53,434 --> 00:06:55,001
cultural touchstones
to hold on to.

188
00:06:55,132 --> 00:06:56,873
Okay. Here, Sean,
let me introduce you

189
00:06:57,003 --> 00:06:58,439
to a Black cornerstone,
all right?

190
00:06:58,570 --> 00:06:59,919
I'm the son of a chef,

191
00:07:00,050 --> 00:07:00,964
but these Hot Cheetos
hit different.

192
00:07:01,094 --> 00:07:02,269
It's in your blood.

193
00:07:02,356 --> 00:07:03,227
[Sean] Hmm.

194
00:07:07,622 --> 00:07:09,624
Yuck, it's spicy!

195
00:07:09,711 --> 00:07:11,017
Mm, this is more serious
than I thought.

196
00:07:11,148 --> 00:07:13,324
-[yells]
-Okay, baby.

197
00:07:13,454 --> 00:07:14,978
Go get some water.
Just spit it out!

198
00:07:15,108 --> 00:07:16,588
He's got lungs, hasn't he?

199
00:07:16,718 --> 00:07:18,068
[Janelle] Look, y'all,
he's mixed Black.

200
00:07:18,198 --> 00:07:19,765
We can't expect him to have

201
00:07:19,896 --> 00:07:21,985
the same relationship
to Blackness that we do.

202
00:07:22,115 --> 00:07:24,117
That's your youth talkin'.
We all mixed.

203
00:07:24,248 --> 00:07:25,945
Shit, I just don't want him
to grow up

204
00:07:26,076 --> 00:07:27,425
to be one of those
light-skinned kids

205
00:07:27,555 --> 00:07:28,730
who think they better
than somebody.

206
00:07:28,861 --> 00:07:30,428
You didn't call your 15,
by the way,

207
00:07:30,558 --> 00:07:32,125
-but that was your bad.
-[Nancy] Oh, write it down.

208
00:07:32,212 --> 00:07:33,953
[Earl] Oh, no, it's too late.
Go ahead.

209
00:07:34,084 --> 00:07:35,825
Well, Ma, he's just having
less of a Black experience.

210
00:07:35,955 --> 00:07:37,652
Whoa, what?
What are you saying?

211
00:07:37,783 --> 00:07:39,176
The scale of Blackness
is proportional

212
00:07:39,263 --> 00:07:40,873
-to how much you're shit on?
-No--

213
00:07:41,004 --> 00:07:42,744
There are all different kinds
of Black, equally.

214
00:07:42,875 --> 00:07:45,617
I'm just sayin' that Sean
out in the world

215
00:07:45,747 --> 00:07:48,011
has a different experience
than I do.

216
00:07:48,098 --> 00:07:49,664
What is the Black experience,
then?

217
00:07:49,795 --> 00:07:51,928
Incense and brass crabs
and plastic table covers?

218
00:07:52,058 --> 00:07:53,581
Excuse me?

219
00:07:53,712 --> 00:07:55,018
-No offense, Nancy.
-[Janelle] Mm-mm.

220
00:07:55,148 --> 00:07:56,628
[Nancy] Look at him.

221
00:07:56,758 --> 00:07:58,369
Crippled by the slightest
hint of spice.

222
00:07:58,499 --> 00:08:00,937
-[Janelle] Mm.
-Get your asses on the ground!

223
00:08:01,067 --> 00:08:03,069
-[Janelle] Bitch.
-See? See? That's that shit.

224
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,897
Damn, y'all just left the door
unlocked like some white folks.

225
00:08:05,028 --> 00:08:06,943
[Nancy] Who left the door open?

226
00:08:08,248 --> 00:08:09,989
Sean, baby, you wanna go back
to the house and watch a movie?

227
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,035
- Paddington 2?
-[Earl] What? No!

228
00:08:12,165 --> 00:08:13,427
Hold on. We--

229
00:08:13,558 --> 00:08:14,864
[Sean] Can we get popcorn, Tía?

230
00:08:14,994 --> 00:08:16,300
-[Earl] Paddington?
-[Sean] Oh, yeah.

231
00:08:19,259 --> 00:08:21,131
[Miles] You remember when you
were goin' into labor

232
00:08:21,261 --> 00:08:25,048
-and you said, "Never mind."
-[chuckles]

233
00:08:25,178 --> 00:08:27,615
"I don't want a kid.
I take it back."

234
00:08:27,702 --> 00:08:29,400
And I was like, "Baby, that's
not really gonna work out,

235
00:08:29,530 --> 00:08:30,923
"because you are crowning
right now.

236
00:08:31,010 --> 00:08:32,533
I can see
this motherfucker's head."

237
00:08:32,664 --> 00:08:33,883
[laughter]

238
00:08:34,013 --> 00:08:36,146
Yeah, I mean...

239
00:08:36,276 --> 00:08:38,713
we got our son,
and it was better after.

240
00:08:38,844 --> 00:08:40,411
Right, I'm not saying
it's gonna be easy,

241
00:08:40,541 --> 00:08:43,283
but it is happening,
and it is gonna get better.

242
00:08:45,895 --> 00:08:48,593
I can hear your mom
railing on the phone

243
00:08:48,723 --> 00:08:51,813
about the evils of hospitals
and...

244
00:08:51,944 --> 00:08:53,467
tryin' to tell me
to squat in the bathtub.

245
00:08:53,598 --> 00:08:55,078
Like, the fuck, Rainey?

246
00:08:55,165 --> 00:08:57,210
She's a hippie mom.

247
00:08:57,341 --> 00:09:00,735
Well, I also remember

248
00:09:00,822 --> 00:09:03,129
you were supposed to play me
a song to keep me calm.

249
00:09:03,260 --> 00:09:04,652
-What was it?
-Oh.

250
00:09:04,783 --> 00:09:07,177
-What was it?
-I don't know.

251
00:09:07,307 --> 00:09:08,830
Come on,
that was your only job.

252
00:09:08,961 --> 00:09:10,310
I don't know. I don't know!

253
00:09:10,397 --> 00:09:12,225
Clearly, it didn't work!

254
00:09:12,312 --> 00:09:13,748
I just remember
pulling up to Highland

255
00:09:13,879 --> 00:09:16,142
and getting in a wheelchair.

256
00:09:16,273 --> 00:09:18,057
And that one dude who got shot,

257
00:09:18,188 --> 00:09:19,711
he was getting pulled out
of an ambulance,

258
00:09:19,798 --> 00:09:21,495
and he was screamin',
and I was screamin',

259
00:09:21,626 --> 00:09:23,933
and I was like, "I don't know
who's in more pain,"

260
00:09:24,063 --> 00:09:26,674
but I think it was me.

261
00:09:26,805 --> 00:09:28,546
Well, you were certainly making
the bigger deal out of it.

262
00:09:30,113 --> 00:09:32,028
My dad showed up.

263
00:09:32,158 --> 00:09:33,812
-Oh, man!
-Wow.

264
00:09:33,899 --> 00:09:35,901
Yeah.

265
00:09:36,032 --> 00:09:39,470
Well, put a stop to that.
[chuckles]

266
00:09:39,557 --> 00:09:41,341
He wasn't gonna
fuck up that day.

267
00:09:43,430 --> 00:09:46,781
[sighs]
You were so tough that day.

268
00:09:46,868 --> 00:09:49,784
Just... hard. [laughs]

269
00:09:49,915 --> 00:09:51,525
You might be
the hardest person I know.

270
00:09:51,656 --> 00:09:53,266
-I was giving birth.
-I don't wanna do it.

271
00:09:53,397 --> 00:09:54,920
-[laughter]
-I'd have turned back.

272
00:09:58,141 --> 00:10:00,404
-You were a dad.
-Yeah.

273
00:10:00,534 --> 00:10:02,406
-Cryin'.
-Cryin'. Bawlin'.

274
00:10:02,536 --> 00:10:04,234
Mm-hmm.

275
00:10:04,364 --> 00:10:07,411
I mean, I-I suddenly
was this thing,

276
00:10:07,498 --> 00:10:09,456
I'd never had.

277
00:10:09,587 --> 00:10:11,197
Yeah.

278
00:10:11,328 --> 00:10:14,070
-I remember you sayin' that.
-Hmm.

279
00:10:14,157 --> 00:10:16,289
My mom was there.

280
00:10:16,420 --> 00:10:18,683
Yeah.

281
00:10:18,770 --> 00:10:21,251
She said he looked
like her father.

282
00:10:24,297 --> 00:10:26,299
She only had a year with Sean.

283
00:10:29,128 --> 00:10:30,738
That was tough.

284
00:10:30,869 --> 00:10:32,653
That was real tough.

285
00:10:32,740 --> 00:10:34,612
Yeah.

286
00:10:34,742 --> 00:10:37,789
The end of the pre-Sean era.

287
00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:40,400
[with English accent]
The pre-Sean era.

288
00:10:40,531 --> 00:10:41,836
[with English accent]
A time before Sean.

289
00:10:41,923 --> 00:10:43,925
A time before the child.

290
00:10:44,056 --> 00:10:45,840
[laughter]

291
00:10:45,927 --> 00:10:50,193
[normally] Fuckin',
now he can walk and talk and...

292
00:10:50,323 --> 00:10:53,761
ask questions and know things.

293
00:10:53,848 --> 00:10:56,503
I just wish we could go back.

294
00:10:56,634 --> 00:10:57,852
I wanted to go out
for New Year's.

295
00:10:57,983 --> 00:10:59,463
I wanted to get dressed up.

296
00:10:59,593 --> 00:11:01,334
I wanted to see you
all dressed up.

297
00:11:02,901 --> 00:11:03,902
[Miles] Today's the day, Ash.

298
00:11:06,035 --> 00:11:07,253
What are we gonna tell our son?

299
00:11:10,691 --> 00:11:12,345
-[refrigerator door slams]
-[Sean exhales heavily]

300
00:11:12,432 --> 00:11:15,131
What I'm sayin' is,
is that Black is an experience.

301
00:11:15,261 --> 00:11:18,003
And baby boy
might experience it less.

302
00:11:18,134 --> 00:11:20,614
Well, not less.
Like, he--differently.

303
00:11:20,745 --> 00:11:22,529
Right. That's what I'm sayin'.

304
00:11:22,660 --> 00:11:25,619
So, some Black people have
more privilege than others.

305
00:11:25,750 --> 00:11:27,143
Black privilege?

306
00:11:27,230 --> 00:11:28,405
How the fuck
does that activate?

307
00:11:28,535 --> 00:11:30,276
No, I hear
what Janelle is sayin'.

308
00:11:30,407 --> 00:11:32,713
Proximity
to Eurocentricity privilege.

309
00:11:32,844 --> 00:11:34,063
-[Janelle] Thank you.
-[Trish] Sean.

310
00:11:34,193 --> 00:11:36,021
What exactly did
Mama Nancy say to you?

311
00:11:36,152 --> 00:11:38,328
[Nancy] Don't ask
a clearly confused child.

312
00:11:38,458 --> 00:11:40,417
He needs answers,
not more questions.

313
00:11:40,547 --> 00:11:43,420
Yeah, but, Ma, did you ask him
in a weird way?

314
00:11:43,550 --> 00:11:44,551
[Nancy] What'd I say?

315
00:11:44,682 --> 00:11:46,640
See, y'all are trippin'.

316
00:11:46,771 --> 00:11:49,295
Sean is from here.
He's Black, okay?

317
00:11:49,426 --> 00:11:51,515
Ain't no semi-Blackness.

318
00:11:51,645 --> 00:11:53,604
There's all kinda shades
of Black.

319
00:11:53,691 --> 00:11:55,823
He from the West.
His daddy in jail.

320
00:11:55,954 --> 00:11:57,999
He with the shits,
as far as I know.

321
00:11:58,087 --> 00:11:59,653
I don't know
if "with the shits"

322
00:11:59,784 --> 00:12:00,698
-has anything to do with it.
-[Janelle] Right.

323
00:12:00,828 --> 00:12:02,700
Because them is circumstances.

324
00:12:02,830 --> 00:12:04,658
You know, Blackness is not
just a bunch of circumstances.

325
00:12:04,745 --> 00:12:07,357
Yes, and some circumstances
are uniquely Black.

326
00:12:07,487 --> 00:12:09,010
-[Earl] Facts.
-Exactly, exactly.

327
00:12:09,141 --> 00:12:12,536
See, the nigga who was raised
rich in Piedmont

328
00:12:12,623 --> 00:12:14,233
and went to private school

329
00:12:14,364 --> 00:12:16,192
is not the same Black
the way we are Black.

330
00:12:16,322 --> 00:12:17,715
The nigga can't play spades

331
00:12:17,845 --> 00:12:19,543
and the nigga
can't play bones, so...

332
00:12:19,673 --> 00:12:23,112
Well, hold up, 'cause I can't
play spades or dominoes.

333
00:12:23,242 --> 00:12:25,375
-Yeah, I tried.
-What? Really?

334
00:12:25,505 --> 00:12:27,725
No, I can't play spades, Earl.

335
00:12:27,855 --> 00:12:30,075
But what she talkin' about
is the hood pass,

336
00:12:30,206 --> 00:12:31,946
and that's something
completely different.

337
00:12:32,077 --> 00:12:33,644
Wait, okay, so y'all sayin'
the hood pass

338
00:12:33,774 --> 00:12:36,603
has nothing to do with it, hmm?

339
00:12:36,690 --> 00:12:38,388
Like, y'all ain't never
read nobody

340
00:12:38,518 --> 00:12:40,738
on they Blackness
for how hood they are?

341
00:12:40,825 --> 00:12:42,392
- Hmm. That's interesting.
-Cap! Okay.

342
00:12:42,522 --> 00:12:44,002
Mm.

343
00:12:44,133 --> 00:12:45,743
Yeah, I mean,
I did just read you

344
00:12:45,830 --> 00:12:47,919
'cause you can't
play spades, Janelle.

345
00:12:48,049 --> 00:12:50,269
Oh, my God, y'all,
it's about how the world

346
00:12:50,356 --> 00:12:52,097
sees dark skin, period.

347
00:12:52,228 --> 00:12:53,446
[Trish]
Okay, I feel what you sayin',

348
00:12:53,577 --> 00:12:55,013
-but what I am saying...
-[Earl] Okay.

349
00:12:55,144 --> 00:12:57,755
...is that Black
is Black, right?

350
00:12:57,885 --> 00:12:59,583
-[Earl] Okay, I can dig that.
-Okay.

351
00:12:59,713 --> 00:13:03,500
Then, depending on where
you raised and your environment

352
00:13:03,630 --> 00:13:06,024
makes you more or less Black.

353
00:13:06,111 --> 00:13:07,243
-[Janelle] No, Trish.
-That don't make no sense.

354
00:13:07,373 --> 00:13:08,896
I'm hella Black.
I'm officially super--

355
00:13:08,983 --> 00:13:11,421
like, I'm actually certified.

356
00:13:11,551 --> 00:13:12,639
I'm actually--
at the DMV, I'm Black.

357
00:13:12,770 --> 00:13:13,901
[Trish] Uh-huh.

358
00:13:13,988 --> 00:13:15,251
[Earl] You know what I mean?

359
00:13:15,381 --> 00:13:16,426
And I'm from the East
but, like,

360
00:13:16,556 --> 00:13:18,297
the nice part of the East.

361
00:13:18,384 --> 00:13:19,733
You know what I'm sayin'?
My parents is cool.

362
00:13:19,820 --> 00:13:21,431
They love each other.
They good.

363
00:13:21,561 --> 00:13:24,303
Like, they got, like,
retirement money.

364
00:13:24,434 --> 00:13:26,175
My pops drive a Mercedes.
I'm less Black?

365
00:13:26,305 --> 00:13:29,395
Yeah, nigga, and you were
in Quentin for drugs.

366
00:13:29,526 --> 00:13:31,354
-So now I'm Black?
-[Nancy] Mm.

367
00:13:31,484 --> 00:13:33,094
You're saying
I'm post-jail Black, Trish?

368
00:13:33,182 --> 00:13:35,314
No, what I'm saying is that--

369
00:13:35,445 --> 00:13:37,751
No, what you're saying makes
no sense at the end of the day.

370
00:13:37,882 --> 00:13:39,144
'Cause here, look.

371
00:13:39,275 --> 00:13:41,581
Your little beige self

372
00:13:41,712 --> 00:13:46,064
cannot tell me
or qualify my Blackness at all.

373
00:13:46,195 --> 00:13:48,109
So what's up with that?

374
00:13:48,197 --> 00:13:50,547
Well, Nancy the same shade
as me.

375
00:13:50,677 --> 00:13:52,201
Her grandmother is white.

376
00:13:52,331 --> 00:13:53,376
Does that make her
any less Black?

377
00:13:53,506 --> 00:13:55,204
[Janelle] Uh-uh. Hold up.

378
00:13:55,334 --> 00:13:57,075
[Trish] Does that make her
less Black?

379
00:13:57,162 --> 00:13:58,424
[Earl] You're talkin' about
people granny like that?

380
00:13:58,555 --> 00:14:00,600
Hold up!
My momma is old beige Black.

381
00:14:00,687 --> 00:14:02,646
So that's-that's
hella different.

382
00:14:02,776 --> 00:14:05,214
Okay, full stop.
First of all, not old.

383
00:14:05,301 --> 00:14:07,390
No, it makes sense.
Like, 40 years ago,

384
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:08,695
would've been
a little bit better,

385
00:14:08,826 --> 00:14:11,002
but Nancy's still
Rosa Parks Black.

386
00:14:11,132 --> 00:14:13,178
-[Janelle] Mm.
-You 2018 light-skinned.

387
00:14:13,309 --> 00:14:15,485
You know what I'm sayin'?
You like Doja Cat Black.

388
00:14:15,615 --> 00:14:17,313
-[Trish] Oh!
-[Janelle] Aw, shit.

389
00:14:17,443 --> 00:14:18,966
-How old do y'all think I am?
-You really wanna know?

390
00:14:19,053 --> 00:14:20,490
[Trish] Hang on. Hey, hold up.

391
00:14:20,620 --> 00:14:21,578
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
y'all.

392
00:14:21,708 --> 00:14:23,884
You think I look like Doja Cat?

393
00:14:24,015 --> 00:14:27,279
Wow. Wow.

394
00:14:27,366 --> 00:14:29,586
This is my whole point, okay?

395
00:14:29,716 --> 00:14:32,328
Growin' up,
everybody used to say

396
00:14:32,415 --> 00:14:34,025
how beautiful
Ashley was, right?

397
00:14:34,155 --> 00:14:36,506
Everybody always said her hair
was so pretty.

398
00:14:36,593 --> 00:14:38,464
They always wanted to know
what was she mixed with.

399
00:14:38,595 --> 00:14:40,510
Everybody was flauntin'
they mix.

400
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,555
"Ooh, well, girl, you know,
I'm mixed with India."

401
00:14:42,642 --> 00:14:44,992
"Well, girl, shit,
I'm part Filipino."

402
00:14:45,123 --> 00:14:48,213
Meanwhile, I'm over there
rockin' Afro puffs,

403
00:14:48,344 --> 00:14:50,041
standin' next to bitches
who look like you,

404
00:14:50,171 --> 00:14:51,564
and they over there tellin' me

405
00:14:51,695 --> 00:14:53,349
that I need to get
my fuckin' hair pressed.

406
00:14:53,479 --> 00:14:55,481
[Nancy] Okay, so let's
back it up for a second,

407
00:14:55,612 --> 00:14:57,788
my worldly academic youngsters,

408
00:14:57,918 --> 00:15:00,051
'cause I been Black

409
00:15:00,181 --> 00:15:02,140
for a long time.

410
00:15:02,271 --> 00:15:03,663
Well, not that long. [chuckles]

411
00:15:03,794 --> 00:15:05,404
But longer than y'all.

412
00:15:05,535 --> 00:15:08,189
And I came here
before you all were born,

413
00:15:08,277 --> 00:15:10,235
when Oakland was a place
you went to

414
00:15:10,366 --> 00:15:11,976
to get away
from how Black people--

415
00:15:12,106 --> 00:15:14,283
all kinds of Black people--

416
00:15:14,370 --> 00:15:16,502
were being treated
in the South.

417
00:15:16,589 --> 00:15:18,330
And it was a Black city.

418
00:15:18,461 --> 00:15:20,419
Ooh, the Panthers built it up.

419
00:15:20,550 --> 00:15:22,943
Then the FBI
made it a crack city.

420
00:15:23,074 --> 00:15:25,729
Then redlining kept us
from buyin' anything,

421
00:15:25,816 --> 00:15:28,993
and now we gettin' pushed out
by new white money

422
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,038
and generational
old white money

423
00:15:31,169 --> 00:15:32,997
as if we never existed.

424
00:15:33,127 --> 00:15:37,262
So this whole conversation
is some Black privilege.

425
00:15:37,393 --> 00:15:39,046
And I love it.

426
00:15:39,133 --> 00:15:41,353
So keep on havin' it.

427
00:15:41,484 --> 00:15:43,224
And you're welcome.

428
00:15:43,312 --> 00:15:45,401
And now I'm late for my date
with a Chinese man,

429
00:15:45,531 --> 00:15:47,316
so progress.

430
00:15:47,446 --> 00:15:49,056
And good night.

431
00:15:49,143 --> 00:15:51,102
And y'all show Sean The Wiz

432
00:15:51,232 --> 00:15:53,191
and The Five Heartbeats,
motherfuckers.

433
00:15:54,584 --> 00:15:55,976
-Bye.
-[Janelle] Y'all.

434
00:15:56,107 --> 00:15:57,195
Wait, y'all, y'all, y'all,
for real.

435
00:15:57,326 --> 00:15:58,675
I got one more question.

436
00:15:58,805 --> 00:15:59,850
I got one more question, y'all.

437
00:15:59,980 --> 00:16:00,938
[Earl] What's up?

438
00:16:01,068 --> 00:16:02,592
[Janelle] What?

439
00:16:02,679 --> 00:16:04,768
Do I look like Doja Cat?

440
00:16:04,898 --> 00:16:07,553
-[Janelle] Okay, bitch, listen.
-[meows]

441
00:16:07,684 --> 00:16:10,295
-I can't tell him the truth.
-Nope.

442
00:16:10,426 --> 00:16:12,253
He's gonna hate you
for not bein' there.

443
00:16:12,384 --> 00:16:15,909
You're probably already so mad
at me for what happened.

444
00:16:15,996 --> 00:16:18,129
It's all I think about.

445
00:16:18,259 --> 00:16:19,957
You must be...

446
00:16:20,087 --> 00:16:22,568
you must be
fuckin' furious with me, right?

447
00:16:22,699 --> 00:16:25,049
Somewhere, hate me sometimes?

448
00:16:25,136 --> 00:16:26,659
Maybe.

449
00:16:26,790 --> 00:16:28,748
But I do always say...

450
00:16:28,879 --> 00:16:30,315
[both] I'm a grown man.

451
00:16:30,446 --> 00:16:32,448
I make my own decisions
in the end.

452
00:16:32,535 --> 00:16:34,711
-There it is.
-Yeah, well...

453
00:16:34,841 --> 00:16:38,062
I hope that philosophy of yours
is still holding strong.

454
00:16:38,149 --> 00:16:40,325
And maybe you're scared
to tell Sean, too,

455
00:16:40,456 --> 00:16:42,762
and that's why you haven't been
as pushy as I expect you

456
00:16:42,893 --> 00:16:44,416
to be about seein' him.

457
00:16:44,547 --> 00:16:46,026
-[Miles] Maybe, yeah.
-Yeah.

458
00:16:46,157 --> 00:16:46,984
Yeah, maybe we don't even
have to tell him.

459
00:16:47,114 --> 00:16:48,507
[laughs] No.

460
00:16:48,594 --> 00:16:50,596
I mean, dads leave
all the time.

461
00:16:50,727 --> 00:16:52,729
-All the time.
-[Miles] And kids are fine.

462
00:16:52,859 --> 00:16:54,992
You know, my dad left.
No big deal, I'm fine.

463
00:16:55,122 --> 00:16:57,255
Yeah, we'll tell him
when I get out.

464
00:16:57,342 --> 00:16:59,475
We'll do that.
That's a good plan.

465
00:16:59,605 --> 00:17:00,954
[groans]

466
00:17:01,085 --> 00:17:02,173
That's not
what you're gonna say.

467
00:17:02,303 --> 00:17:03,653
[Miles sighs]

468
00:17:03,740 --> 00:17:05,785
I'm just worried
you're thinking--

469
00:17:05,872 --> 00:17:08,788
Bring me my son,
you disloyal bitch!

470
00:17:08,919 --> 00:17:11,791
Yes! That's the one.
Keep going.

471
00:17:11,922 --> 00:17:13,140
All right.

472
00:17:13,271 --> 00:17:15,012
If it were me out here,

473
00:17:15,142 --> 00:17:17,057
you wouldn't even
have to question

474
00:17:17,188 --> 00:17:18,885
how loyal I would be.

475
00:17:19,016 --> 00:17:21,105
But here you are,
skippin' visitation,

476
00:17:21,235 --> 00:17:23,107
not bringin' me my son,

477
00:17:23,237 --> 00:17:25,631
and you won't even tell him
where the fuck I am!

478
00:17:25,762 --> 00:17:27,981
You don't get to doubt
my loyalty!

479
00:17:28,112 --> 00:17:29,809
You know exactly
how I am built.

480
00:17:29,896 --> 00:17:31,942
Come on, Ash! We had a son!
We had an understanding!

481
00:17:32,072 --> 00:17:34,248
We said we were gonna do this
in a partnership!

482
00:17:34,379 --> 00:17:36,512
That's what we said!

483
00:17:36,599 --> 00:17:37,730
And that we would weather
whatever the fuck happened

484
00:17:37,861 --> 00:17:39,863
as long as we were here!

485
00:17:39,993 --> 00:17:42,561
I know! And I'm still here!
It's a fucking hurricane.

486
00:17:42,692 --> 00:17:45,434
Just give me an inch of fucking
slack while I figure it out!

487
00:17:45,564 --> 00:17:47,523
Loving a ghost is exhausting!

488
00:17:48,785 --> 00:17:50,482
I'm not dead, Ash.

489
00:17:52,919 --> 00:17:55,705
[Ashley]
Yeah, but you're not here.

490
00:17:55,792 --> 00:17:58,577
You're in a cinder block room
at Oakland County,

491
00:17:58,708 --> 00:18:03,364
and I'm on a mountaintop
yelling at myself

492
00:18:03,495 --> 00:18:06,237
all because you did me a favor.

493
00:18:08,544 --> 00:18:12,678
There it is. There it is.

494
00:18:12,765 --> 00:18:13,984
Guilt.

495
00:18:14,114 --> 00:18:15,855
'Cause I kept my mouth shut.

496
00:18:21,252 --> 00:18:24,211
You don't owe me
anything, baby.

497
00:18:24,342 --> 00:18:25,561
You don't.

498
00:18:27,911 --> 00:18:30,870
[sentimental music plays]

499
00:18:30,957 --> 00:18:32,829
Of course you would say that.

500
00:18:39,183 --> 00:18:40,314
Wow.

501
00:18:43,187 --> 00:18:45,494
I forget
how beautiful Oakland is.

502
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,238
[Miles] You say that
every time we come here.

503
00:18:51,369 --> 00:18:53,284
You know my favorite part?

504
00:18:53,414 --> 00:18:54,503
You know I do.

505
00:18:56,330 --> 00:18:58,332
When that strip of fog rolls in

506
00:18:58,463 --> 00:19:02,293
and covers everything
by the morning.

507
00:19:02,423 --> 00:19:05,035
[sighs] Happens every night.

508
00:19:07,907 --> 00:19:09,866
It's the most reliable thing
about this place.

509
00:19:13,173 --> 00:19:14,740
It's loyal.

510
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,922
-I love the gray.
-Hmm.

511
00:19:23,053 --> 00:19:24,271
People like the sunny view,

512
00:19:24,358 --> 00:19:27,840
but I think the gray is more...

513
00:19:27,971 --> 00:19:29,625
interesting.

514
00:19:29,755 --> 00:19:31,540
-Hmm.
-More complicated.

515
00:19:35,413 --> 00:19:37,676
And there it is.

516
