All language subtitles for Queen Sugar s03e12 From On the Pulse of Morning.eng

[narrator]
Previously, on Queen Sugar.

I need you to make him see that
some decisions,

they can’t be undone.

Take a paternity test.

I took it. He ain’t mine.
But I raised him.

That don’t mean you can just
take him away from me.

If you and your friends
want to grow your activism,

you need to learn
to organize.

We’re going to take
my brother down,

side by side.

Didn’t you get the memo?
We voted three days ago.

-You can’t do this.
-You don’t show up,

you don’t vote.

What gets me up
in the morning

besides my family
and my Hollywood:

the work.

The work is everything.

It’s what gives me life,

what gives me purpose,
what gives me joy.

And I am filled
with gratitude

-to all of you out there...
-Hey, how are you doing?

...who are enjoying a taste
of what I love to do.

[female host] We thank you
for coming on our show.

[turns TV off]

Aunt Vi said the orders
are coming in like wildfire.

Got to run over there
in a few.

[Prosper]
No, I’m fine, yeah.

Yeah, I appreciate
the offer,

but we’re going to be
getting my house back soon,

so-- yeah, I promise.

Just tell the kids they better
come visit me this summer.

[Prosper laughs]

Yeah, kiss Lila
and Joseph for me.

Bye.

-How’s she doing?
-Oh, she’s good.

She’s got a big project
at work keeping her busy.

Can I get you some breakfast
before I go?

Oh, I’m okay.

I’m meeting some folks
at the High Yellow in a bit.

Council vote
is in two days,

and we got to talk about
our next steps.

Mm-hmm.

Speaking of which,

the parish meeting’s tonight,

and me and the farmers,

we’ve been talking.

And we think you should speak
in front of the council

on our behalf.

Oh, wow.

Wow, that’s, uh...

that’s very kind, but...

I don’t know.

Uh...

I mean, you’re already working
on the talking points.

And I know you’ve done
the research.

I mean, you could really talk
some sense into these folks.

I would love to represent
the farmers, I would.

Just...

I don’t know if that’s
the best idea.

Why not?

Because...

I sold the mill.

I sold Queen Sugar
to the Landrys.

They’re letting me
continue to run it, but--

[stammers]
I don’t get what you’re saying.

You and I both know,
Sam’s not going to stop

taking everybody’s land.

I sold the mill
as leverage

for the farmers’ security,

their stability,

their livelihood,

their freedom.

From Sam.

But you’re in business
with the devil, Charley.

That’s only way
they’re going to see it.

Mom!

Hello, my sweet
prince.

-You ready for school?
-[Blue] Yes.

I’m going to be
right back.

Come on, Blue.

Go get your bag.

Say bye to
Uncle ’Wood and Aunt Vi.

[clears throat]

Find a helmet
for his bike?

I did. And kneepads.

Okay, love you.

Ralph Angel...

come help me load
that stuff in my car.

[Ralph Angel]
Give me a second.

You not going to show me
no love?

Be good.

Your mom still
by your spot?

She went back to D.C.

I told her that I’d be
handling things from now on.

[clears throat]

All right.

I should get him
to school.

Y’all be safe.

Hey, y’all be easy
on them bikes, Blue.

[Darla]
You got it? Okay.

-[Blue] You ready?
-[Darla] I’m ready.

I wasn’t sure
if these were the ones

you were asking me for,

but I printed them up.

Where is everybody?

We went radio silent.

Nobody’s talking
or texting.

Don’t want it used
against us.

But we were cleared.

Till they find
something else.

Look, man...

everybody’s scared.

I am too.

But we’re going
to get through this.

All of us.

We’re all going
to get through this?

Yes.

Micah, Ant’s on house arrest.

Yes. I know that.

He’s already caught up
in the system.

We can’t just say,
"I’m sorry"

and walk away from that.

You don’t think
I know that?

I’ve been working
on this track scholarship too.

And with all this...

Okay, so...

we got to do something.

We got to say something.

We?

What?

No offense, Micah,
but you know damn well

you ain’t never going
to be in Ant’s situation.

And even if you are,

house arrest at that big house
of yours?

Ain’t that bad.

That’s not fair.

Neither is what happened
to Ant.

This...

this isn’t about fair.

This is about surviving.

And for you...

for you, surviving
is taking this picture

instead of being in it.

Really, KJ?

I’m in this with you.

We got to keep
our heads low...

till we can get out,

escape to college.

[school bell rings]

[Charley] And all your help at
the hospital, thank you, really.

Charley, get off
that phone.

[sighs]

Sorry, I have to go.

No, my aunt’s swamped
with pie orders,

so, duty calls.

Can I give you a call
a little later?

Okay.

Yeah, bye.

[phone beeps off]

I thought you had a whole host
of pies to get out the door.

I do.

But I need to finish
this seating chart

so Hollywood can order

some special invitations
from Morocco.

I tell you, that man.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

We got to keep those two
far apart.

Uh, Charley,
you and Micah,

if you sit
with Rah and Blue...

Well, actually,
I could use an extra seat

for a plus-one.

I might bring someone.

I’m just saying,
I’d like the option.

That’s great, Charley.
Really.

What about you, Nova?

You bringing that mystery
man or woman of yours?

[Nova]
I’ll be coming alone, Aunt Vi.

I don’t have nobody
to bring?

I don’t need anyone
to prop me up.

What?

Nothing. Nothing.

You lock in a caterer yet?

Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
Uh-uh.

What’s going on
with you two?

I’ve seen how you
been all formal

and delicate
with each other lately.

You have a tiff
or something?

No. Not exactly.

Well, what, exactly?
Speak.

Nova?

It was something.
Now it’s nothing.

It’s over.

I was seeing Remy.

It’s over.

It wasn’t right,
so I ended it.

You ended it?

When did that ever start?

While y’all were together?

No! You know me
better than that.

Now, I’m not sure I know you
at all right now.

Aunt Vi...

You okay with Nova
being with the same man

after he’s done with you?

And you,

I never took you
to be one

who would be interested
in your sister’s sloppy seconds.

[Nova]
Don’t make it sound cheap.

Oh, so now you concerned
about how it looks and sounds?

[Nova] It wasn’t like that.
I thought it was something real.

Otherwise I never
would have done it.

Aunt Vi, have you never
done anything in your life

that you’ve regretted and then
tried to take it back?

First it’s the story
about your daddy, now it’s this.

You doing a lot
of extra things, Nova.

But that’s all right.
You can, ’cause you grown.

I’m just disappointed,
that’s all.

Got to go to my kitchen.

[door opens and closes]

It’s not important.

[Charley]
You can tell me.

They felt you were serving your
own interest instead of theirs.

Cardale even
called you a...

damn hypocrite.

They’re the ones
who bailed on me last year.

So in return
you lied to them?

I appreciate you telling me.

It doesn’t mean
we stop fighting.

I’m still here
with you.

-Hey, Mom?
-Yeah.

Sorry to interrupt.

Uh, I just wanted
to tell you I’m heading out.

I’ll be back later.

Wait.

Where are you going?

To see Ant.

Micah, we’ve discussed this.
I don’t want you going there.

-He could go to juvie.
-Micah!

I said no.

He could be going to juvie
because of all of us.

And for an accident?
Come on.

Trespassing, vandalism.

Those weren’t
accidents.

You know, if it was me
that got caught,

you’d be outing
every kid that was there.

-That is not true.
-Yes, it is.

He shouldn’t be
going through this alone.

[sighs]

[indistinct chatter]

The turnout’s bigger
than I thought.

Yeah.

A lot of people showed up.

Miss Bordelon,
I just wanted to say hello.

It’s always good
to see you.

[indistinct chatter]

Why Nova sitting
way over there for?

[Charley]
Just leave her be.

What happened with y’all?

Y’all messy.

[Isabel]
Hello, everyone.

I’m Isabel Barrera,

from the St. Josephine
Parish Council.

If you can all get settled,
we’ll get started

to discuss the upcoming vote
on the new correctional facility

proposed to be built
in St. Jo.

Let’s get in and out of here
on time, folks.

[Isabel]
All right, then. Let’s begin.

I lost my job when
the Watkins Mill shut down.

Been out of work
ever since.

This jail could be the change
folks like me

need to turn it back around.

Y’all have my full support
bringing it here. Thank you.

Thank you
for sharing that.

And not only that,

but the MPTE Group
has a five-step plan

that’ll unfold over the next
several years.

We plan to clean up
the contaminated land.

We plan to build schools

that’ll service
the growing families

that’ll move here to work.

Your school ain’t nothing
but a Band-Aid for a broken arm.

-[man] Yes!
-[woman] You said it.

[applause]

-[man] That’s all it is.
-[Lawrence] Okay.

Well, not just a school.

We’re also in talks

to build
shopping centers

and more housing
to bring even more life

to St. Josephine.

We already have lives!

Y’all trying
to take them away.

-[man] That’s right.
-[woman] We don’t need that!

[applause]

With all due respect, sir,

we don’t need anyone to come
here and build our community.

No, sir, you’re deliberately
trying to break something

so that later you can say
you fixed it.

-[woman] That’s right.
-[applause]

You ain’t going
to say nothing?

[Lawrence]
No, I hear you.

-I do.
-Say something.

[Lawrence] But, you know,
it’s not what I have to say.

It’s what your friends,
and your neighbors,

and your fellow citizens have
to say about it that matters.

"My boys have jobs

"and are building
towards their retirement.

Don’t know what they’d do
without it."

Now, this is from Lauren.

She’s a mother from Mobile,

and all of her sons work at
the new correctional facility

we built just a few years ago.

What about the mothers
of the sons you locked up

so Lauren’s sons
could have a job?

You got any letters
from them?

Or do you just go
from town to town,

reading these same
generic quotes

over and over and over again?

-She got some nerve.
-[woman 1] I know, right?

[indistinct murmurs]

-[woman 2] That’s right.
-[man 1] Sit down.

[man 2]
You a damn liar.

[scoffs]

I have seen
so many families

kicked off of their land
under false pretenses.

Forced to take their kids
out of school.

Is building your jail
really worth

more farmers giving up
their livelihoods?

Their dignity?

[Cardale]
Oh, big talk now.

What’d you think
would happen

when you sold your mill
to the same family

that’s trying to kick us
off the land?

-[man] Tell it, Cardale.
-You one of them, Miss Charley.

-I made a deal.
-[Cardale] For you.

No. For you.
For you.

[woman]
Yeah, right!

I tried to keep
farmers working.

I gave up my mill
to leverage fair rates for you,

to keep you in business.

They were going to keep
coming at us.

I did it so we could all live
to fight another day.

But this prison...

this prison,
if they build it,

that day will never come.

They’ll make sure of it.

What kind of wages
are you paying, Mr. Callahan?

Most of your facilities,

they pay just above
the minimum?

Isn’t that right?
The minimum.

Not to mention
the free labor

you’ll get from
the prison inmates.

-[indistinct murmurs]
-Yeah.

[applause]

[Lawrence]
All right, all right.

We’re more than prepared
to offer competitive wages

to all the staff,
Miss Bordelon.

Oh, really? I guess there’s
a first time for everything.

Your company’s history
doesn’t suggest that.

-Am I right, Mr. Callahan?
-[applause]

And let’s not forget,

when legislative boundaries
are redrawn,

prisoners are counted
as residents,

but they can’t vote.

So who does that benefit?
Is it us?

Is that the town winning?

Or is it politicians
who gain

off population growth
during re-elections?

[applause]

Mr. Callahan, the soul
of St. Jo isn’t for sale.

I don’t know
what you mean by that.

[Charley]
Yeah, I think you do.

All you want is to put
more bodies in more prisons...

to make a profit
off your backs.

Our family, our friends,

the people we love.

That’s who they want
to lock up.

Then they want you to work to
get a dime out of every dollar

they’re gonna squeeze
out of this community.

[woman 1]
That’s right.

[woman 2]
You tell them.

[man]
Tell them, Charley.

So why don’t you
just take your bags

and take your snake oil
and go someplace else,

because we are not
buying it.

[applause]

[phone rings]

-[Rhonda] Hey, Miss Violet.
-Oh, good.

Jarrett called
with even more orders.

Says the phone is ringing
off the hook.

Extra business is good
for everybody, right?

Got that right.

So now, Rhonda,
I’m going to need you

to run point here
with these ladies.

I’m late for this
doggone prison foolishness.

Yes, ma’am. Last thing we need
around here is more jail cells.

For sure.

[Rhonda]
You okay, Miss Violet?

-What’s wrong?
-My chest is tight.

-[coughs]
-[Rhonda] My God. Miss Violet.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

I got you.
I got you.

You okay?
Just breathe.

Just breathe, okay?
I’m right here.

You okay?

Need me to take you
to the hospital?

Jesus. We’re going
to the hospital.

Grab my keys
and get my purse, okay?

Come on, I got you.

I got you. Come on,
put your arm around me. Come on.

The doctor said
it’s pneumonitis.

Just a minor inflammation
of my lung tissue.

Well, that sounds serious.

What does that mean?

I mean, did they run tests
and everything?

Did they say
anything else?

No, they said
I’m going to be fine.

Gave me some
medication,

and I go follow up
with Dr. Badami next week.

I brought y’all
all out here,

because Vi got something
to tell you.

It’s not just pneumonitis.

I have lupus.

What?

For how long?

[Violet]
Months.

It’s okay, baby.
I’m fine now.

Why didn’t you
tell us before?

Because I didn’t
need y’all worrying.

Nova’s been helping me
eat better.

[Ralph Angel]
Aunt Vi, we all want to know

what’s going on with you.

I mean, what if something
worse happened?

But it didn’t.
I’m fine.

Not if you keeping
your health issues from us.

Look, we’re glad
that you’re okay.

But this is something
that we need to know about.

What if one of us were with you
and something happened?

I understand where
you’re coming from.

I do. I do.

Y’all know now.

Right this moment,
all I can think about

is how I’m going to fill all
them Wake Up, NOLA orders

that are flooding in
and I’m just sitting here.

[Hollywood] Now you know
Rhonda and them ladies

are back at the kitchen
working.

I’ll go over there.
I’ll help them out.

-We’ll all go.
-Mm-hmm.

We’ll handle it.

Thank you.

-Okay, just keep pedaling.

-I am pedaling, don’t let go.
-I’m not letting go.

Just keep pedaling,
and don’t hold the brake.

Don’t brake. Don’t brake.
Don’t brake.

I didn’t mean to.

I just thought
you let go.

No, I didn’t.
I’m right here.

Let me know
when you’re ready.

-You ready?
-Ready.

Okay.

You’re doing really good.

You got it, you got it.
Relax.

-Aah!
-Let me see.

You okay?

Let me look
at your hands.

Let me see, baby.
Let me see.

Did you hurt yourself?

You’re not

You’re okay.

Let’s try one more time.

Don’t quit.

-Just put it back on.
-I don’t want to.

Come on, just give it
one more try.

Where are you going?

Blue, come on.

Me and you,
we got this.

[sighs]

This feels a little
like Pops, don’t it?

Overworked.

Keeping it all to himself
till it’s too late.

I ain’t trying
to go through that again.

She’s just as prideful
as Daddy was.

So, what does lupus do,
anyway?

Basically, your immune system
starts attacking healthy tissue.

She says it’s like running a
marathon while battling the flu.

Glad you and Hollywood
were there for her.

[knock on door]

-[Charley] Hey! you came.
-Hey.

Raced right over.

What can I do?

This is Romero, my friend.

-How you doing?
-Romero.

I thought we could use
some more help.

This is my sister, Nova.

-Good to meet you.
-Romero. Pleasure.

Why don’t you just help me take
these pies out to the truck.

-Okay.
-Okay.

-You got it on your side?
-Yeah.

-Okay.
-All right. Is this good?

Yeah. Um...

thank you.

But you didn’t need to rush
all the way down here.

We still get pie
at the end though, right?

I just assumed that,

you know, we would get
a pie or something...

-Yeah, yeah. We can...
-...out of this.

we can probably
make that happen.

I like the lemon.

Okay, yes.
One lemon pie.

[laughs]
Sure.

Why don’t just read
off the ones on your side

and I’ll check them off.

-Yeah.
-Okay.

So, two...

two cherry tortes.

Three pecan pies.

Why don’t you come over.

And I’ll cook for you,
one of my famous recipes.

My chicken mole
is exquisite.

You don’t have to worry
about anything.

All you have to do
is show up.

I think I’d like that.

Yeah?

-Yeah.
-Good.

That works.

-I see lime.
-[laughs]

-No lemon.
-I don’t see lemon on this side.

I hope you have a lemon
on that side.

-Is that a dealbreaker?
-I...

Can I still get
that mole

-if there’s no lemon pie?
-Oh, yes.

-Yes, you will get the mole.
-[laughs]

[gunfire on video game]

[knock on door]

I’ve been calling you, dude,

to see if you was all right.

When’s the court date?

Sometime this month.

My mom knows.

What’d the lawyer say?

Says I can get
about six months.

Six months?

Whoa.

Going to miss junior prom.

I was supposed to go
to this LSU summer program

for college aid,

but I guess I’m not
doing that now.

You know, this is
all our fault.

No, they found my lighter.

So...

The whole thing
is just stupid.

No, it wasn’t stupid.

We made a mistake, yeah,

but what we were
trying to say...

it wasn’t stupid.

Look, it’s better that they only
found one of us, all right?

No, it’s not fair that you’re
taking the fall for all of us.

I know. I know.

That’s just how it goes.

I remember you said,

"always fight
for what you believe,

no matter who it makes
uncomfortable or who it scares."

I remember that.

Hey, and plus, you know,
when I get out...

the girls, they’re going to be
all over me.

[laughs]

You know,
they love a bad boy.

Like Killmonger
or some shit.

Yo, I’m going to be there.

No matter what.

I’m going to be there
for you.

Thank you.

How are you
holding up?

Seems like this decision
is taking longer than normal.

And I just...

I don’t know
what to think.

If those council members
have any sense at all,

they’ve been considering
every word you said.

But then again, Sam has half
the council in his pocket, so--

Of course he does.

How do we find
justice these days

when it seems like
it no longer exists?

The hope now lies
in the other council members.

There’s one,
Council Member Ward,

who may be the deciding vote
in our favor.

You seem sure.

Ward usually
plays it straight.

We can only hope.

My father always led us
armored with hope.

Even in his darkest days.

But now I’m starting to think
it was all just fairy tales...

made up to protect us

from the evils
just outside our door.

[door opens]

[indistinct chatter]

Thank you. Thanks.

Thank you.

[clears throat]

Thank you.

Couple months,
when I’m off parole,

free and clear.

Going to take Blue
out to the Gulf.

Show him something
different.

He’ll love that.

I just want
to show him places.

Where else do you want
to take him?

Disney World.

[laughs]

Cali.

Disneyland
or Disney World?

Both.
Shit, all of them.

I just want to show him
everything.

Be a free man.

For real.

That’ll be the day.

It’ll be a beautiful day.

[sighs]
