00:08:56,318 --> 00:08:58,799
[knock on door]
180
00:08:58,842 --> 00:09:00,627
[women chatting outside]
181
00:09:04,152 --> 00:09:05,762
[Michelle]
Hey, superstar.
182
00:09:05,806 --> 00:09:06,981
Sorry we're late.
183
00:09:07,024 --> 00:09:08,504
You can set up
in the office.
184
00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:09,984
We'll start in there.
185
00:09:10,027 --> 00:09:11,986
Nova, go with Seekie.
She'll take care of you.
186
00:09:12,029 --> 00:09:14,031
-[Nova] Yeah.
-Oh, hello.
187
00:09:14,075 --> 00:09:15,250
And you are?
188
00:09:15,293 --> 00:09:17,469
Michelle,
this is my brother.
189
00:09:17,513 --> 00:09:20,081
The famous
Ralph Angel?
190
00:09:20,124 --> 00:09:22,344
Your story is
so heartbreaking.
191
00:09:22,387 --> 00:09:24,085
I cried twice.
192
00:09:31,005 --> 00:09:34,182
Don't you ever go
nowhere near my son again.
193
00:09:35,705 --> 00:09:37,054
You lost that right...
194
00:09:38,403 --> 00:09:40,275
"superstar."
195
00:09:55,464 --> 00:09:57,509
[camera snapping]
196
00:09:57,553 --> 00:09:59,468
[Michelle] Nova,
just relax your jaw.
197
00:09:59,511 --> 00:10:01,513
Think excited
for your book.
198
00:10:03,298 --> 00:10:05,430
Can we take five?
Let's take five.
199
00:10:06,388 --> 00:10:07,694
How far along are we
200
00:10:07,737 --> 00:10:09,652
-in, uh, publication?
-[laughs]
201
00:10:09,696 --> 00:10:10,914
We're two weeks out,
so I'd say
202
00:10:10,958 --> 00:10:12,394
we're pretty far along.
Why?
203
00:10:12,437 --> 00:10:13,743
There's just
a few chapters that I'd
204
00:10:13,787 --> 00:10:15,919
like to go over,
uh, rework, maybe.
205
00:10:15,963 --> 00:10:19,009
I love your book.
I wouldn't change
a thing.
206
00:10:19,053 --> 00:10:21,403
This wouldn't
have anything to do
207
00:10:21,446 --> 00:10:23,144
with why your brother
was here?
208
00:10:23,187 --> 00:10:24,841
My family is having
trouble with the book.
209
00:10:24,885 --> 00:10:26,451
I just need
some more time
210
00:10:26,495 --> 00:10:28,453
to smooth things out
before the book tour.
211
00:10:28,497 --> 00:10:30,499
I see this all the time,
you know,
212
00:10:30,542 --> 00:10:32,327
when an author
becomes successful.
213
00:10:32,370 --> 00:10:35,199
Not everyone
can come along for the ride,
so to speak.
214
00:10:35,243 --> 00:10:37,288
They're not everyone.
They're my family.
215
00:10:37,332 --> 00:10:40,727
This book is going
to reach a lot of people
and take you far,
216
00:10:40,770 --> 00:10:43,686
and it's too late
to stop the presses,
anyway.
217
00:10:50,824 --> 00:10:52,695
If you'd waited,
like I said--
218
00:10:52,739 --> 00:10:54,305
I had
to let her know.
219
00:10:54,349 --> 00:10:56,307
And now you've removed
the element of surprise,
220
00:10:56,351 --> 00:10:58,658
which is crucial to how
I'm trying to stop this book.
221
00:10:58,701 --> 00:11:00,137
I'm just as angry
as you are,
222
00:11:00,181 --> 00:11:03,097
but being a hothead
won't always solve--
223
00:11:03,140 --> 00:11:06,709
What's that
supposed to mean,
Charley, huh?
224
00:11:08,972 --> 00:11:11,235
[sighs]
225
00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:12,497
Has Aunt Vi read it?
226
00:11:12,541 --> 00:11:14,108
No. I don't think
she should.
227
00:11:14,151 --> 00:11:16,284
She needs to know
what Nova wrote about her.
228
00:11:16,327 --> 00:11:19,113
-We have to sit her down.
-Sit who down?
229
00:11:19,156 --> 00:11:22,377
Uh, some kid
at Blue's school
bothering him.
230
00:11:22,420 --> 00:11:23,813
That's all.
231
00:11:23,857 --> 00:11:25,336
Oh, well, give me
the mama's number.
232
00:11:25,380 --> 00:11:26,816
I'll straighten
that out real quick.
233
00:11:26,860 --> 00:11:29,732
The new floors are
looking good, Aunt Vi.
234
00:11:29,776 --> 00:11:32,387
I like 'em,
too, baby. [laughs]
235
00:11:32,430 --> 00:11:34,258
[laughs]
236
00:11:35,999 --> 00:11:38,915
We have
to say something
237
00:11:38,959 --> 00:11:40,700
before Nova gets to her.
238
00:11:40,743 --> 00:11:41,918
No, I'll do it.
239
00:11:41,962 --> 00:11:43,659
I mean,
y'all too fired up.
240
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:45,748
She don't need the--
all that upsetting energy.
241
00:11:45,792 --> 00:11:48,403
[Ralph Angel] She gonna
be upset either way.
242
00:11:48,446 --> 00:11:50,927
When she find out
what Nova wrote
about her-- [laughs]
243
00:11:50,971 --> 00:11:53,538
Nova gonna wish she
wasn't ever born.
244
00:11:55,802 --> 00:11:57,455
[cell phone chimes]
245
00:11:57,499 --> 00:12:00,241
Got to get Blue
to this birthday party.
246
00:12:02,156 --> 00:12:03,635
I'm gonna holler
at you later, baby.
247
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:04,898
[Ralph Angel]
See you.
248
00:12:10,294 --> 00:12:12,340
So has he read
the whole book?
249
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:15,169
I don't think so.
250
00:12:15,212 --> 00:12:17,519
So he don't
know that Darla
in there, too.
251
00:12:20,087 --> 00:12:21,653
That chapter
broke me down.
252
00:12:21,697 --> 00:12:24,265
Why would Nova
put all that in there?
253
00:12:24,308 --> 00:12:28,312
The-- The night that
I found Darla and Blue
254
00:12:28,356 --> 00:12:30,793
when Rah was locked up,
255
00:12:30,837 --> 00:12:32,795
that's a story that
should never be told.
256
00:12:32,839 --> 00:12:37,017
I cannot believe
that Nova would do that
to all of us.
257
00:12:38,627 --> 00:12:39,933
You gonna tell him?
258
00:12:41,456 --> 00:12:43,240
No.
259
00:12:43,284 --> 00:12:46,330
Because that book
will never see
the light of day.
260
00:12:46,374 --> 00:12:48,419
[Darla]
Can you drop Blue off
tonight an hour later?
261
00:12:48,463 --> 00:12:50,334
-I'll bring him by later.
-Thank you.
262
00:12:50,378 --> 00:12:51,466
All right.
Talk to you later.
263
00:12:51,509 --> 00:12:53,076
-Bye.
-Bye.
264
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:54,469
-Pop, Marcus is there.
-All right. I'm sorry.
265
00:12:54,512 --> 00:12:55,687
Can I go give him
his present?
266
00:12:55,731 --> 00:12:57,472
All right.
That's all you.
267
00:12:57,515 --> 00:12:58,516
-Thank you.
-Oh! Oh, hold up.
268
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:00,170
-What?
-Have fun.
269
00:13:00,214 --> 00:13:01,563
I'll be back
to get you later.
270
00:13:01,606 --> 00:13:03,086
-I will. Bye.
-All right. Bye.
271
00:13:03,130 --> 00:13:04,131
Hey, Blue.
272
00:13:04,174 --> 00:13:06,655
Joie? You know Marcus?
273
00:13:06,698 --> 00:13:08,048
[Joie] Yeah.
He's on my soccer team.
274
00:13:08,091 --> 00:13:11,921
All right, kids,
gather round.
275
00:13:11,965 --> 00:13:13,923
-Let's go, Blue.
-Bye, Pop. Miss you.
276
00:13:13,967 --> 00:13:15,490
A'ight.
277
00:13:17,622 --> 00:13:19,059
Hello there, stranger.
278
00:13:19,102 --> 00:13:21,017
-How you doing?
-I'm good.
279
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,457
Joie and I were actually
just talking about you boys.
280
00:13:26,501 --> 00:13:27,937
Yeah?
281
00:13:27,981 --> 00:13:29,721
She wants to
have a play date
with Blue.
282
00:13:29,765 --> 00:13:31,941
[chuckles]
This don't count?
283
00:13:31,985 --> 00:13:34,988
Knowing Joie,
probably not.
284
00:13:35,031 --> 00:13:37,686
[laughs]
Fair enough.
285
00:13:37,729 --> 00:13:41,385
But at least
we've got a break
for a couple of hours.
286
00:13:41,429 --> 00:13:42,691
That doesn't happen
every day.
287
00:13:42,734 --> 00:13:44,040
It sure don't.
288
00:13:46,173 --> 00:13:48,175
You wanna take a walk?
289
00:13:50,699 --> 00:13:52,179
Come on.
290
00:13:52,222 --> 00:13:54,268
And that can buy us
some more time?
291
00:13:54,311 --> 00:13:55,443
Great.
292
00:13:56,879 --> 00:13:58,489
If you could just,
uh, send me over a draft,
293
00:13:58,533 --> 00:14:00,274
I can take a look
at it tonight.
294
00:14:00,317 --> 00:14:01,753
Yeah.
295
00:14:01,797 --> 00:14:03,930
Yeah, thanks, Olivia.
296
00:14:03,973 --> 00:14:05,192
Mom.
297
00:14:13,504 --> 00:14:14,636
What's up?
298
00:14:19,423 --> 00:14:21,295
Mm.
299
00:14:21,338 --> 00:14:23,427
You know, it feels good
to be home.
300
00:14:23,471 --> 00:14:25,603
Micah?
Micah West?
301
00:14:25,647 --> 00:14:27,127
Can we get
a selfie?
302
00:14:27,170 --> 00:14:28,215
Yeah.
303
00:14:28,258 --> 00:14:29,346
Cool.
304
00:14:29,390 --> 00:14:30,695
What's up?
305
00:14:34,874 --> 00:14:36,397
[girl]
Thank you.
306
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,659
[Micah]
Peace.
307
00:14:41,924 --> 00:14:44,274
Weren't they supposed
to bring your car around
by now?
308
00:14:44,318 --> 00:14:47,756
Would have had it faster
at the regular
airport valet.
309
00:14:47,799 --> 00:14:52,456
Micah. Your fabulous
European vacation,
310
00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:55,720
your fans clamoring for you
upon your arrival,
311
00:14:55,764 --> 00:14:58,636
your father chartering you
a private plane
312
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,900
for a missed connection
in New York...
313
00:15:02,118 --> 00:15:03,815
I don't want you
getting used to this.
314
00:15:03,859 --> 00:15:05,556
I know, Ma.
315
00:15:09,604 --> 00:15:12,737
When you said Paris
was transformative,
316
00:15:12,781 --> 00:15:15,436
didn't think
you meant literally.
317
00:15:16,393 --> 00:15:17,873
What, you hate the look?
318
00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:19,440
No. No,
I don't hate the look.
319
00:15:19,483 --> 00:15:20,920
I-I'm surprised.
320
00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:24,575
Well, I-I started
growing my hair out,
321
00:15:24,619 --> 00:15:26,621
and I bought
some new clothes.
322
00:15:27,752 --> 00:15:28,928
It's not a big deal.
323
00:15:30,625 --> 00:15:32,757
Besides, I don't
want you talking me
out of it.
324
00:15:32,801 --> 00:15:34,150
[stammers]
325
00:15:37,458 --> 00:15:40,200
Well, a heads-up
would have
been nice.
326
00:15:40,243 --> 00:15:43,116
Just trying
something new,
like you did.
327
00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:45,074
-Me?
-Yeah.
328
00:15:45,118 --> 00:15:46,684
You stopped
straightening your hair,
329
00:15:46,728 --> 00:15:48,251
I mean, keeping it natural.
330
00:15:48,295 --> 00:15:50,384
[texting]
331
00:15:54,910 --> 00:15:56,259
Keke happy you're home?
332
00:15:56,303 --> 00:15:57,869
Yes.
333
00:15:57,913 --> 00:15:59,132
Yeah, I'm
seeing her later.
334
00:15:59,175 --> 00:16:00,916
I'm just texting
Aunt Nova.
335
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,962
-[cell phone buzzing]
-Ah, wait. She's calling me.
336
00:16:04,006 --> 00:16:05,138
Hey, Aunt Nova.
337
00:16:05,181 --> 00:16:06,226
Yes.
338
00:16:06,269 --> 00:16:07,314
[laughs]
339
00:16:07,357 --> 00:16:09,446
Paris was incredible.
340
00:16:09,490 --> 00:16:12,797
I met up with
your friend from, uh,
Amnesty International,
341
00:16:12,841 --> 00:16:15,148
took some
amazing seminars.
342
00:16:16,497 --> 00:16:19,500
Thank you. Um,
Aunt Nova wants
to talk to you.
343
00:16:19,543 --> 00:16:21,067
-[valet] Ms. Bordelon.
-Uh...
344
00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:22,677
I'll talk to her later,
when we're home.
345
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,113
Thank you.
346
00:16:24,157 --> 00:16:26,072
Come on.
347
00:16:26,115 --> 00:16:28,030
She says she's gonna
call you later.
348
00:16:28,074 --> 00:16:30,032
All right.
349
00:16:30,076 --> 00:16:32,687
So what was
all that about earlier?
350
00:16:32,730 --> 00:16:33,993
What?
351
00:16:35,690 --> 00:16:38,823
I know when
somebody's lying to me.
352
00:16:38,867 --> 00:16:40,782
You and Charley,

00:24:40,566 --> 00:24:43,264
Yeah, an AA group
can get pretty serious
sometimes,
529
00:24:43,307 --> 00:24:46,267
but everybody's
got their process.
530
00:24:46,310 --> 00:24:49,749
I mean, God,
six months ago,
531
00:24:49,792 --> 00:24:51,490
I don't think
I could have laughed
532
00:24:51,533 --> 00:24:52,491
about much of anything.
533
00:24:55,406 --> 00:25:00,673
Sorry. We said no group talk
on our first date.
534
00:25:00,716 --> 00:25:02,805
I know, but who
are we fooling?
535
00:25:02,849 --> 00:25:05,329
-True.
-Hey, have you, uh--
536
00:25:05,373 --> 00:25:07,897
you given
any more thought
to being a sponsor?
537
00:25:07,941 --> 00:25:10,465
I haven't decided yet.
538
00:25:10,509 --> 00:25:14,469
I think anyone would
be lucky to have you
as a sponsor.
539
00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:16,123
You been
through the fire,
540
00:25:16,166 --> 00:25:18,560
and you still here.
541
00:25:18,604 --> 00:25:20,127
Can even
smile sometimes.
542
00:25:20,170 --> 00:25:22,477
[both chuckle]
543
00:25:22,521 --> 00:25:23,696
Thank you...
544
00:25:24,697 --> 00:25:25,828
for that.
545
00:25:27,526 --> 00:25:31,704
I-I feel like I, um--
546
00:25:31,747 --> 00:25:34,620
like I've just gotten
to a good place.
547
00:25:34,663 --> 00:25:35,969
Yeah.
548
00:25:36,012 --> 00:25:39,146
I been sober
five years now,
549
00:25:39,189 --> 00:25:43,977
and, uh, took me
twice as long to get
to where you are.
550
00:25:46,153 --> 00:25:50,244
But-- But we ain't
gotta talk about
all that right now,
551
00:25:50,287 --> 00:25:52,463
'cause now
I think it's time
552
00:25:52,507 --> 00:25:54,553
to get into this
Italian dark roast.
553
00:25:57,686 --> 00:26:00,036
Mm. [coughs]
554
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,037
It's just right.
555
00:26:01,081 --> 00:26:03,170
[both laugh]
556
00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:05,607
Bye, Miss Violet.
557
00:26:05,651 --> 00:26:06,608
Night, y'all.
558
00:26:06,652 --> 00:26:08,436
[entry bell rings]
559
00:26:08,479 --> 00:26:10,743
You and the kids were
talking about nothing, huh?
560
00:26:11,613 --> 00:26:12,658
[manuscript plops]
561
00:26:13,659 --> 00:26:15,051
Just found "nothing"
562
00:26:15,095 --> 00:26:17,619
stuffed on a shelf
in my office.
563
00:26:19,186 --> 00:26:22,624
You said
you ain't have time
to read Nova's book.
564
00:26:22,668 --> 00:26:26,628
So you took it upon yourself
to read it for me,
565
00:26:26,672 --> 00:26:28,848
and I take it
that that child
566
00:26:28,891 --> 00:26:32,591
done dug up every one
of Ernest's skeletons.
567
00:26:36,769 --> 00:26:39,249
Oh, this book
ain't just about Ernest.
568
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,995
Vi, I think
it's time for you
to read that book.
569
00:26:55,352 --> 00:26:57,441
[cell phone buzzing]
570
00:27:00,749 --> 00:27:01,750
Third time tonight.
571
00:27:01,794 --> 00:27:04,492
[buzzing continues]
572
00:27:04,535 --> 00:27:06,842
It's always been like this,
573
00:27:06,886 --> 00:27:08,714
always on her schedule.
574
00:27:08,757 --> 00:27:13,327
"Consequence" is not
a word in her vocabulary,
apparently.
575
00:27:14,763 --> 00:27:15,851
Sorry.
576
00:27:15,895 --> 00:27:17,592
I'm just venting.
577
00:27:18,506 --> 00:27:20,029
It's okay.
578
00:27:20,073 --> 00:27:22,858
If someone wrote
all the things
I did in a book,
579
00:27:22,902 --> 00:27:25,600
I don't think I'd
be handing it out
to everyone I meet.
580
00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:26,819
Hmm.
581
00:27:26,862 --> 00:27:29,169
-Sounds ominous.
-[chuckles]
582
00:27:29,212 --> 00:27:31,519
Is there something
from your past I
should know about?
583
00:27:31,562 --> 00:27:34,087
No. No, I-I just...
584
00:27:35,349 --> 00:27:37,307
I just mean that there
were a lot of causes
585
00:27:37,351 --> 00:27:38,700
that I was
passionate about,
586
00:27:38,744 --> 00:27:42,965
and sometimes my passion
didn't always help.
587
00:27:44,271 --> 00:27:45,707
There are
just some things
588
00:27:45,751 --> 00:27:46,926
that I wish
I would have
589
00:27:46,969 --> 00:27:48,884
-thought through more.
-Mm.
590
00:27:48,928 --> 00:27:51,713
Well, I spent the better part
of the last two years
591
00:27:51,757 --> 00:27:54,977
moving on from the things
she wrote about.
592
00:27:56,457 --> 00:27:58,328
When you read it...
593
00:27:58,372 --> 00:27:59,634
I won't read it.
594
00:28:01,027 --> 00:28:03,333
I want to get to know
the you now,
595
00:28:03,377 --> 00:28:05,248
not you then.
596
00:28:09,775 --> 00:28:11,124
Thank you.
597
00:28:16,085 --> 00:28:17,739
All I know is...
598
00:28:19,436 --> 00:28:21,134
I can't have this.
599
00:28:21,177 --> 00:28:22,526
I can't.
600
00:28:22,570 --> 00:28:24,398
Sounds like you
have to talk to her.
601
00:28:24,441 --> 00:28:26,748
Well, she never
talked to me about it,
602
00:28:26,792 --> 00:28:29,011
and now it's in print
for anyone to read.
603
00:28:29,055 --> 00:28:31,231
This is defamation,
maybe even libel.
604
00:28:41,241 --> 00:28:42,546
Was it all a lie?
605
00:28:45,158 --> 00:28:46,986
I know you have
to do something,
606
00:28:47,029 --> 00:28:48,596
but if you go down
the legal road,
607
00:28:48,639 --> 00:28:51,338
it might just
bring more attention
to the book.
608
00:28:53,296 --> 00:28:55,385
[sighs]
This whole thing's a mess.
609
00:28:56,691 --> 00:28:59,694
I'm-- I'm just
trying to fix it.
610
00:29:01,087 --> 00:29:03,350
What if you can't?
611
00:29:03,393 --> 00:29:05,178
What if this is
just one of those things
612
00:29:05,221 --> 00:29:07,310
you have
to live through?
613
00:29:09,835 --> 00:29:11,532
[stereos playing music]
614
00:29:11,575 --> 00:29:15,057
We have so much stuff
to do now you're back.
615
00:29:15,101 --> 00:29:16,798
I'm happy to be here.
I don't know.
616
00:29:16,842 --> 00:29:20,193
Have to go hang out
and watch the game.
617
00:29:20,236 --> 00:29:21,542
-Getting a big turn--
-Yeah--
618
00:29:21,585 --> 00:29:23,718
-Yo, watch it. Watch it.
-Oh, excuse me.
619
00:29:23,762 --> 00:29:26,068
Hey, almost didn't
recognize you there, Micah.
620
00:29:28,027 --> 00:29:30,420
Looks like someone
watched Black Panther
too many times.
621
00:29:30,464 --> 00:29:32,292
[boys laughing]
622
00:29:32,335 --> 00:29:34,120
[boy]
It's so true!
623
00:29:34,163 --> 00:29:35,382
Hey, what did
you say, bro?
624
00:29:36,775 --> 00:29:38,037
No, what'd you say?
625
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,255
[laughter continues]
626
00:29:39,299 --> 00:29:40,779
Oh, so I'm funny
to you now?
627
00:29:40,822 --> 00:29:42,519
[laughs] Yeah, dude.
628
00:29:42,563 --> 00:29:44,826
-[Keke] Whoa.
-Hey, get him! Get him!
629
00:29:44,870 --> 00:29:46,219
Hey, sto--
Micah!
630
00:29:46,262 --> 00:29:47,394
[kids] Fight! Fight!
631
00:29:47,437 --> 00:29:49,483
[Keke]
Micah!
632
00:29:49,526 --> 00:29:51,702
[overlapping chatter, yelling]
633
00:29:52,747 --> 00:29:53,922
[echoing]
Stop!
634
00:29:55,402 --> 00:29:57,491
[insects chirping]
635
00:30:18,904 --> 00:30:19,992
See you soon.
636
00:30:20,035 --> 00:30:23,822
I could see you inside.
637
00:30:26,172 --> 00:30:27,738
I need
to take things slow.
638
00:30:29,175 --> 00:30:30,524
You understand,
right?
639
00:30:31,481 --> 00:30:33,005
I understand...
640
00:30:34,789 --> 00:30:36,269
and I respect that.
641
00:30:37,313 --> 00:30:38,837
See you soon, then.
642
00:30:41,709 --> 00:30:42,841
Real soon, I hope.
643
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,414
[door opens]
644
00:30:53,634 --> 00:30:56,202
He bumped into me
on purpose,
645
00:30:56,245 --> 00:30:58,334
didn't apologize,
646
00:30:58,378 --> 00:31:00,032
makes a joke
about black culture,
647
00:31:00,075 --> 00:31:02,773
and I'm supposed to be
like, "No worries"?
648
00:31:02,817 --> 00:31:04,688
[scoffs]
You know, guys like Beau
649
00:31:04,732 --> 00:31:06,952
grow up to be
men like Orson.
650
00:31:07,909 --> 00:31:10,477
Orson wasn't born that way.
651
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,131
Before he started
abusing us,
652
00:31:12,174 --> 00:31:14,568
he got used
to laughing at us.
653
00:31:14,611 --> 00:31:16,831
That's the first step.
654
00:31:16,875 --> 00:31:18,093
What is?
655
00:31:18,137 --> 00:31:20,530
Ah, I went to one
of those seminars
656
00:31:20,574 --> 00:31:22,532
you told me about
this summer.
657
00:31:22,576 --> 00:31:24,708
Read a lot of Homi Bhabha,
some others,
658
00:31:24,752 --> 00:31:28,799
but I learned that
the first step to taking
a people's stuff,
659
00:31:28,843 --> 00:31:31,628
to taking their land,
their bodies,
660
00:31:31,672 --> 00:31:33,848
is to take down
their culture,
661
00:31:33,892 --> 00:31:35,284
to laugh at it.
662
00:31:35,328 --> 00:31:38,026
Yes, the comic turn.
663
00:31:38,070 --> 00:31:40,333
I remember.
664
00:31:40,376 --> 00:31:41,943
If someone
had popped Orson
in the mouth,
665
00:31:41,987 --> 00:31:44,250
maybe he wouldn't
have put a gun in mine.
666
00:31:44,293 --> 00:31:46,600
You know,
zero tolerance,
667
00:31:46,643 --> 00:31:48,558
that's my new policy.
668
00:31:48,602 --> 00:31:52,040
I want you to be
the first person
669
00:31:52,084 --> 00:31:54,695
to have a hard copy
of my book.
670
00:31:57,654 --> 00:31:59,134
Wow.
671
00:32:00,483 --> 00:32:01,832
Ah, this is an honor.
672
00:32:01,876 --> 00:32:03,312
Can you
sign it for me?
673
00:32:03,356 --> 00:32:05,445
-Already done.
-What?
674
00:32:07,621 --> 00:32:10,667
"For moments of doubt,
remember we have wings.
675
00:32:10,711 --> 00:32:12,931
With love, Aunt Nova."
676
00:32:13,888 --> 00:32:15,150
Thank you.
677
00:32:17,848 --> 00:32:19,328
[laughs]
678
00:32:22,592 --> 00:32:25,073
He was so tired.
679
00:32:25,117 --> 00:32:26,553
[laughs]
680
00:32:26,596 --> 00:32:27,902
Yeah.
681
00:32:28,990 --> 00:32:30,513
What?
682
00:32:30,557 --> 00:32:32,559
Is everything okay?
683
00:32:32,602 --> 00:32:34,909
Just a crazy day.
684
00:32:34,953 --> 00:32:36,432
That's all.
685
00:32:36,476 --> 00:32:39,174
You have a lot
on your shoulders,
Ralph Angel.
686
00:32:39,218 --> 00:32:41,307
You're handling it,
though.
687
00:32:41,350 --> 00:32:43,222
I'm proud of you.
688
00:32:43,265 --> 00:32:44,614
Appreciate it.
689
00:32:47,269 --> 00:32:48,836
How you doing?
690
00:32:48,879 --> 00:32:53,493
I'm-- I'm feeling stable
691
00:32:53,536 --> 00:32:56,322
and hopeful.
692
00:32:59,107 --> 00:33:01,066
Hopeful about this guy
you been seeing?
693
00:33:01,109 --> 00:33:02,415
[clears throat]
694
00:33:03,416 --> 00:33:04,808
Do you think that, uh...
695
00:33:04,852 --> 00:33:08,160
we should, um...
696
00:33:08,203 --> 00:33:10,640
be talking
about these kinds
of things?
697
00:33:10,684 --> 00:33:12,729
I mean, why not?
698
00:33:13,817 --> 00:33:16,559
We co-parents,
ain't we?
699
00:33:16,603 --> 00:33:19,345
They say it's best
we be friends.
700
00:33:19,388 --> 00:33:21,738
I mean, shit,
you already told me
you dating somebody.
701
00:33:21,782 --> 00:33:25,612
I don't think
we should talk
about these things,
702
00:33:25,655 --> 00:33:30,138
because if I tell you
about who I'm dating,
703
00:33:30,182 --> 00:33:34,795
then that means
that I'd have to hear
about who you're dating.
704
00:33:38,581 --> 00:33:40,670
And I don't think
I'm ready for that.
705
00:33:43,238 --> 00:33:45,762
[sighs]
706
00:33:47,329 --> 00:33:48,722
Be honest...
707
00:33:51,420 --> 00:33:53,640
I don't think
I'm ready, either.
708
00:33:53,683 --> 00:33:56,469
But I wish you
happiness, Darla.
709
00:33:57,731 --> 00:33:59,428
That, I do.
710
00:34:00,473 --> 00:34:02,040
As I do you.
711
00:34:05,434 --> 00:34:06,914
[chuckles]
712
00:34:09,525 --> 00:34:10,831
[Charley]
Micah.
713
00:34:12,093 --> 00:34:14,487
[sighs]
714
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:19,927
-Oh, Micah.
-I'm fine.
715
00:34:19,970 --> 00:34:21,537
It's not a big deal.
716
00:34:21,581 --> 00:34:25,628
Mm-mmm. That is not
necessarily for you
to decide.
717
00:34:25,672 --> 00:34:27,413
You can't be getting
into fights, Micah.
718
00:34:27,456 --> 00:34:29,110
You-- You cannot.
719
00:34:29,154 --> 00:34:34,202
How you act and
how you look matter.
720
00:34:34,246 --> 00:34:36,248
Why didn't you tell me
you were gonna
loc your hair?
721
00:34:36,291 --> 00:34:38,511
You didn't say
anything about
my hair last year.
722
00:34:38,554 --> 00:34:42,123
A high-top fade
reads differently
to most people.
723
00:34:42,167 --> 00:34:44,691
And by most people,
you mean white people?
724
00:34:44,734 --> 00:34:48,434
I should live my life
by making white people
feel comfortable?
725
00:34:48,477 --> 00:34:50,131
If wearing a belt
on your pants
726
00:34:50,175 --> 00:34:52,742
or cutting your hair
is a millisecond difference
727
00:34:52,786 --> 00:34:54,788
between you being
dead or alive,
728
00:34:54,831 --> 00:34:57,443
th-that's a compromise
I'm willing to live with.
729
00:34:57,486 --> 00:34:59,140
I'm not.
730
00:34:59,184 --> 00:35:00,707
I'm gonna twist
myself into knots
731
00:35:00,750 --> 00:35:02,143
trying to fit
into some box
732
00:35:02,187 --> 00:35:04,754
that doesn't promise me
a damn thing.
733
00:35:04,798 --> 00:35:06,060
No, I'm gonna do me.
734
00:35:08,323 --> 00:35:11,065
Sounds like
you learned a lot
in your chat with Nova.
735
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:14,851
[scoffs] This
has nothing to do
with Aunt Nova.
736
00:35:14,895 --> 00:35:17,332
You know,
the night I was in jail,
737
00:35:17,376 --> 00:35:19,204
after I got out,
you know who it was
738
00:35:19,247 --> 00:35:22,816
who saw that
I had pissed my pants
because I was so scared,
739
00:35:22,859 --> 00:35:26,733
tied her sweater
around my waist so
I wouldn't be ashamed?
740
00:35:26,776 --> 00:35:29,736
Who wasn't
across the parking lot
screaming at Dad?
741
00:35:29,779 --> 00:35:32,434
Who gave
a damn that night
about how I felt?
742
00:35:33,783 --> 00:35:34,871
Aunt Nova.
743
00:35:36,786 --> 00:35:38,484
Now, good night.
744
00:35:43,924 --> 00:35:45,708
[pounding on door]
745
00:35:52,411 --> 00:35:54,456
All right,
now I'm ready for you.
746
00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:56,632
Okay. Let's just
sit down and tal--
747
00:35:56,676 --> 00:35:57,677
No.
748
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,636
It was bad enough for you
749
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,812
to print this trash
for the world to see,
750
00:36:02,856 --> 00:36:06,294
but now your words
have wormed their way
into my son's heart
751
00:36:06,338 --> 00:36:08,296
and poisoned him against me.
752
00:36:08,340 --> 00:36:09,950
Charley, please.
Micah came to me.
753
00:36:09,993 --> 00:36:11,386
-He knew you'd be upset.
-Mm.
754
00:36:11,430 --> 00:36:13,127
He just needed someone
to listen to him,
755
00:36:13,171 --> 00:36:15,173
and you always--
[sighs]
756
00:36:16,652 --> 00:36:18,219
No, keep going.
757
00:36:18,263 --> 00:36:19,264
I always what?
758
00:36:20,743 --> 00:36:23,006
You certainly didn't
hold back in your book.
759
00:36:24,051 --> 00:36:26,575
What do you
think about me, Nova?
760
00:36:26,619 --> 00:36:30,623
Actually,
I already have an idea.
761
00:36:34,714 --> 00:36:38,108
"My sister,
born to privilege,
762
00:36:38,152 --> 00:36:42,591
raised with wealth,
and half-bathed
in whiteness,
763
00:36:42,635 --> 00:36:46,204
used her light skin
as her shield and her sword,
764
00:36:46,247 --> 00:36:49,381
weapons in every room
she entered,
765
00:36:49,424 --> 00:36:54,081
every deal she made,
with every women
she sacrificed,
766
00:36:54,124 --> 00:36:56,518
and for every man
she protected.
767
00:36:56,562 --> 00:36:58,694
Her honey skin
kept her safe,
768
00:36:58,738 --> 00:37:00,914
all the while
keeping her complicit
769
00:37:00,957 --> 00:37:05,179
in the continued
oppression of
black bodies."
770
00:37:13,318 --> 00:37:15,972
Is this what
you think of me?
771
00:37:16,016 --> 00:37:17,757
I was writing
about privilege.
772
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,542
You can shove
your themes
up your pretentious ass.
773
00:37:20,586 --> 00:37:22,501
Call it what you want,
but this,
774
00:37:22,544 --> 00:37:24,894
this is 300 pages
of you telling the world
775
00:37:24,938 --> 00:37:27,549
how much you hate
your only sister!
776
00:37:27,593 --> 00:37:29,247
Charley,
I love you.
777
00:37:29,290 --> 00:37:31,205
This isn't love!
778
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:34,339
This is betrayal
disguised as pulp fiction,
779
00:37:34,382 --> 00:37:36,558
trying to pass itself off
as literature!
780
00:37:36,602 --> 00:37:38,821
Almost everything
in the book was
public knowledge.
781
00:37:38,865 --> 00:37:40,214
Oh, my God.
782
00:37:40,258 --> 00:37:41,911
So I wasn't
writing about Davis
783
00:37:41,955 --> 00:37:43,348
to be salacious.
784
00:37:43,391 --> 00:37:45,567
You and Davis
present a classic story
785
00:37:45,611 --> 00:37:47,874
about the insidious
nature of rape culture.
786
00:37:47,917 --> 00:37:51,356
Are you out
of your damn mind?!
787
00:37:51,399 --> 00:37:55,403
Nova, we are people.
I am your sister.
788
00:37:55,447 --> 00:37:57,623
I am not some example
to be used
789
00:37:57,666 --> 00:38:00,016
for your examination
of rape culture.
790
00:38:00,060 --> 00:38:02,192
I'm writing
about how women
often protect men
791
00:38:02,236 --> 00:38:05,065
instead of protecting
other women,
792
00:38:05,108 --> 00:38:07,285
which is what
you did, Charley.
793
00:38:07,328 --> 00:38:11,419
And how we are blind
to our own enabling
of patriarchy.
794
00:38:11,463 --> 00:38:13,595
You're hardly
alone in this.
795
00:38:13,639 --> 00:38:15,336
That's what
I'm writing about.
796
00:38:15,380 --> 00:38:17,730
Dress it up
however you want,
797
00:38:17,773 --> 00:38:20,036
but, at the end of the day,
798
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,605
you wrote about your evil,
light-skinned sister
799
00:38:23,649 --> 00:38:25,999
and her famous,
philandering husband.
800
00:38:26,042 --> 00:38:28,393
I'm laying myself bare
in the book, too.
801
00:38:28,436 --> 00:38:31,178
I admit what happened
to Too Sweet
was my fault.
802
00:38:31,221 --> 00:38:33,354
I sold weed to Rid
when it was illegal,
803
00:38:33,398 --> 00:38:36,357
and Too Sweet
bore the burden
of my callous actions.
804
00:38:36,401 --> 00:38:37,619
I have been complicit
805
00:38:37,663 --> 00:38:39,447
in a system that hurts
young black men.
806
00:38:39,491 --> 00:38:41,144
Laying yourself bare
807
00:38:41,188 --> 00:38:42,711
and laying
your family bare
808
00:38:42,755 --> 00:38:44,974
are two
different things.
809
00:38:45,018 --> 00:38:48,413
You wrote
about me, Rah.
810
00:38:48,456 --> 00:38:50,066
Nova, you wrote
about Aunt Vi.
811
00:38:50,110 --> 00:38:52,373
I'm writing about
an American family.
812
00:38:52,417 --> 00:38:54,114
Oh, when Micah
reads this...
813
00:39:00,903 --> 00:39:02,383
He trusts you.
814
00:39:04,864 --> 00:39:06,344
When he reads this...
815
00:39:08,215 --> 00:39:10,043
he'll believe
I'm a monster.
816
00:39:10,086 --> 00:39:11,349
He won't.
817
00:39:11,392 --> 00:39:13,002
I'll explain it
to him.
818
00:39:13,046 --> 00:39:16,484
You have no idea
what the consequences
819
00:39:16,528 --> 00:39:19,095
of this being
in the world will be.
820
00:39:20,270 --> 00:39:22,751
You have to put
the brakes on it.
821
00:39:24,274 --> 00:39:25,928
I can't, Charley.
822
00:39:26,842 --> 00:39:28,366
It's gone to print.
823
00:39:28,409 --> 00:39:30,019
