-Growing up, I went to - I attended

St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church

on Dabney Street.

That was our church home, and I would periodically

go to Mother Mercy with my cousins.

That was their church home.

So church and faith has always been a part of my life.

But, you know, again, as you get older,

you realize what a bedrock that was instilled in you,

even when you didn't know it was being instilled in you.

So I am grateful that my mother and father insisted

that we go to church every Sunday.

We went to Catholic parochial school,

after church, Sunday school.

So it has - it has carried me in ways

that I could not even explain to you.

You know, being in this business,

being in the television business,

you can run up against some really nasty people.

You can run into some nasty situations.

And sometimes really all you have to lean on

is your faith.

And so I am so grateful

that I've had that from the very beginning.

I tell young people, your zip code

doesn't determine where you go.

It really doesn't.

And so for me, a little girl from Fifth Ward,

I've gone on to get three Daytime Emmy Awards.

I've recently written a book.

It all began right here,

and I will forever be grateful to my Fifth Ward.

??

-Yo, what flavor you get?

-Blue. See?

-Man, cherry's the best.

-Eh. This what I'm gonna do to my girl, Ronda.

Ahhh.

-Eh, nigga, you nasty!

She gonna be my girlfriend anyways, fool.

-Hey, I gotta show you something.

-Let me see.

Pew, pew, pew!

Where'd you get this from?

-Don't worry about that.

-Hey, let me hold it some mo'!

-Nah, somebody might see.

-What you need it for anyways?

-I gotta protect me and my mama

from ill niggas like Craig out here.

You hear?

-I thought he was your daddy.

-No, that nigga ain't my daddy.

-Unh-unh! Unh-unh!

-Oh, shit. -Unh-unh.

I am tired of you lying to me, Craig.

-Look, I told you, I don't know who she is.

-Well, why - why y'all gotta text back and forth then, huh?

Look at this. Look at this!

-Look, I can explain.

-You know, hold up. -Come here, baby.

-Go to your daddy.

I need - I need that money.

Where's the rest?

[Sighs] Richard. Richard!

Rick. Go to the store.

Get me some Pampers for your brother.

-Thanks for the cool cups, Ms. Williams.

-You're welcome, sweetie. -Are you coming?

-Nah, I better get home. I see you in school, though.

-Yeah.

-And Richard! I want all my change.

-Mina.

I picked up that smack. Huh?

It's your favorite - that strawberry.

And you know I love you.

So, what, you wanna stay mad?

Or you wanna get high?

[Rap music playing indistinctly]

??

[Chuckles]

-So you're from Fifth Ward?

-Born and raised.

That's why this special task force is so important to me.

-How's that?

-Few weeks ago, a 14-year-old kid was killed

because of the heavy flow of illegal guns

that are flooding these streets.

Now, this is my Fifth Ward.

Getting this on the news will help me out with my boss.

-I should actually thank you.

It's sweeps week, so... -[Chuckles]

-...breaking this news live is gonna help me with my boss.

[Cellphone rings] -You got it.

Kennedy.

So we got it?

Thanks again, Judge Stone.

-What happened? -We got our search warrant.

All right, first squad, follow me.

Right flank, east entrance.

Second squad, left flank, west entrance.

Suspect's name is Yuri Billinkoff.

Now, he is former Ukrainian military.

The son of a bitch will not go down without a fight.

Lock and load. Stay focused. Let's go.

Ms. Latham.

You and your cameraman will stay out here

until the building is clear, understood?

-Hello, this is Allyson Latham,

and this is an exclusive live report.

It is believed elements of a foreign criminal organization

are in this building right in front of me.

Action News will be filming a team led

by Commander Robert Kennedy in hopes of arresting those

responsible for the flood of illegal weapons

into Houston's Fifth Ward.

-Freeze! Freeze!

Let me see your hands! Who else is in here?

Who else is hiding in this building?

-Nobody, I swear.

-Shit.

All clear.

-[Laughs and claps]

Natasha, you're a fucking genius.

-[Speaking Ukrainian]

-In sports, the National Hockey League

featured...

-You ever heard back from Harvard?

-No, not yet.

-Well, at least we have that valedictorian scholarship

from U.T. as a backup.

Staying in Texas would keep you near the family.

Wouldn't that be nice?

-Yeah, sure.

-'Cause, you know, that's all we have -

family, that is.

-I know, Mom.

-Do you?

You know, this situation reminds me of a story

my mom told me when I was little.

See, there was this little girl in town.

Beautiful, smart, had a promising future.

Until she got involved with a man

her family didn't approve of.

A man from the wrong village.

-Mom, I know you don't like Ray Ray, but -

-She ignored the concerns from her own family

and forced her mom to disown her.

-Are you saying you -

-I'm saying that [indistinct] are not like us.

They are from different cultures, different villages.

They will never be like us.

I need you to understand that.

-You know, you can learn a lot

from a different culture, Mother.

Maybe you should try it sometime.

-You mean like lying, Jazmine?

Hmm?

I called the Office of Admissions at Harvard.

They said you were accepted over a month ago.

I spoke to the director of admissions.

She said she was surprised when you called

and declined your fall admission.

-What? How did you - -We know everything, Jazmine!

-My Hahn!

-She made me tell her everything.

-[Shouts in native language] -Jazmine!

-Trust me when I tell you this.

You'll be the reason why that poor kid's locked up

in prison for 10 years.

I will make sure that happens. I can make that happen.

Now, do you want to save him or not?

??

-Yes.

-Good.

Now, your father and I have thoroughly discussed this.

We will not be witnesses to the state.

We will drop the rape charges before the court date.

But you have to do exactly what we tell you to do.

Do you understand?

-Hey, if we handle our business and Carlos gets word,

they'll put us back in with the squad.

-Hell, yeah. He'd have to put us back on.

-Mm-hmm.

Hey, check it out.

[Background chatter]

-Think ese killed my cousin?

-One of 'em did.

-You want to do this?

-It's gotta be the right time and the right place.

I'm thinking Sunday.

-[Speaks Spanish] Security's laid-back then.

-Yeah. Spread the word to the homies.

But be ready.

-? Ooh, yeah

-[Sighs] Worked up a thirst after that.

-? Oh, yeah, I-I-I'm alright

-What's wrong?

-[Sighs] Hmm.

-Something on your mind?

You know you could talk to me about anything, right?

-Look...

I-I know Blue...

he can't be living all happy and shit,

you know, with the problems that he's caused.

And I know he deserves what's coming, but...

-But what?

-Hurting him is not gonna help me get my job back

or right any of his wrongs.

-Right.

-What I'm saying is...

...I love you [indistinct].

And I want to marry you

and be the husband you deserve.

-[Chuckles]

-And, you know, my brother in New Orleans,

he said that he can get me a job on the dock.

And my mama? [Chuckles]

She's so excited to meet you.

And I can't wait to start a family with you.

So, I'm gonna be the best daddy I can be

to our beautiful babies.

[Chuckles]

-Hmm.

I never met my daddy.

-Hmm. -He was a writer.

His name was Kevin. -Kevin.

-But that's about all I know.

-Hmm? -Mau.

-I-I can't...

I can't have kids.

I had to terminate a pregnancy,

and there were complications and...

they had to do a hysterectomy.

So what I'm trying to tell you is

I can't give you what you really need,

what a real husband deserves.

-[Sighs softly]

Then I don't care to have any babies.

-I mean, you say that now, but what about when your mom

want grandbabies

and your brothers and friends are having kids, too?

-Baby, I'll have you.

That'll be enough for me.

We're gonna have one another.

-[Sighs] I'm just saying, Blue has to pay for the misery

that he's brought you.

And me!

I can't do it alone.

-[Chuckles]

-Wait.

Do you still have the keys to Blue's house?

-Yeah.

-Good.

Now, can I please have some more of that good lovin'?

-[Chuckles]

??

??

[Door opens]

-Looking for someone?

-Uh, yes, Professor Nelson. Douglas Nelson.

-Professor Nelson was dismissed about six months ago.

-Hmm. -He went crazy and attacked

a staff member.

-I'm sorry. What? -Yeah, he went crazy

and attacked a staff member.

-Okay, um, any idea where he is now?

-I think he's at Sunnybrook mental facility.

-Oh. Thank you.

??

[Clears throat] Hi. Excuse me.

I'm looking for Douglas Nelson.

-What's your last name? -Davis.

-Um, are you related to him in some way?

-I'm actually a very, very close friend.

Yeah, you know, some would say we're related, too.

-Well, you're neither.

Only family members are allowed.

And if you were a close friend,

he would have put you on his list.

-Right. Look, come on, you're telling me

I drove all the way down here and I can't even see him?

-No, I'm sorry.

It's protocol.

-[Clears throat]

Right.

Protocol.

Thank you.

??

-Thank you for meeting with us.

-After receiving your call, I spoke to my clients,

who want nothing more than to bring this matter

to a quick end.

That being said, Mrs. Tran has something to say.

-Your son is a bad influence on my daughter.

I'm just worried that she's gonna get swallowed up

by whatever it is he's a part of.

-Excuse me?

Frankly, the person you're speaking of

doesn't sound like my Ray Ray at all.

My son's a great kid.

He's giving, loving, talented.

He's been pursuing his music career

and was just given his big break -

a chance to go on a nationwide concert tour.

-Maybe you don't know him like you think you do.

-What did you just say?

-Look, the fact is, Ray did something wrong,

so now he's just paying for it.

-Unfairly paying for it.

Graduation is right around the corner,

and he deserves and has earned every right to be there.

Not sitting in jail.

I have worked...

He's worked so hard for this

and was doing just fine until your daughter

came to his school.

-Look, I'm sure you love your son

as much as I love my daughter.

Okay, so maybe there's...

a way to make us both happy.

-We can understand where Mrs. Kennedy's coming from.

-And we can understand where your client

is coming from as well.

So what do you propose here?

??

[School bell rings]

??

-? Why you tryin' to put the blame on me ?

? When that nigga put the blame on you? ?

? Now you're tryin' to run game... ?

-Hey. What's that?

-Man, check it out.

-50 Gs? Shit. That's a lot of money.

-Man, 50 Gs?

That's enough to help out my mom and Ray Ray.

-Hey, that sounds like a plan to me.

Hey, we gotta go. My mama waitin' on me.

-Yeah, my bad.

??

-[Chuckles]

-There he is. -Hey!

Some day, huh? -Yeah.

That fucking raid was a disaster.

-I know. I watched it on TV. -Mm-hmm.

-[Sighs] Thanks, man. Appreciate it.

Thanks for picking me up.

Lettie had that thing with her nephew this afternoon.

-Yeah, Wanda's there, too.

??

-Adios.

??

Ooh! So did, uh, Chief Lewis lay into your ass?

-Well, let's just say the thin ice I'm skating on

got thinner.

-[Chuckles]

Well, I think you're missing the silver lining in all of this.

At least now we know that I'm not the mole

and you're not the mole.

-Joining the task force?

-Well...

You asking?

[Both laugh]

[Siren wailing]

-? So when I talk about you, talk about me, too ?

? Yeah, see, I ain't trippin' about talkin' about how I feel ?

-Is that your mama? -137 over 83,

pulse of 104 regular. -Shit.

You doing? Got my little brother, man.

-Man, the dude in the suit is with Child Protective Services.

See? He's waiting on you.

Gonna take you from your mom, just like they did Lil T.

-You mean, I can't even be with her?

-Man, once they take you, you're gone forever.

[Police radio chatter]

Hey. It'll be a'ight.

Come stay with us.

-? But I ain't never seen a evil like you ?

? Never seen, yeah

? Yeah, I love you and you know this ?

[Doorbell rings]

-Oh. -Hey.

-Hey, man. -Ah, ah, ah, ah!

-I had to do something. -Nah, nah.

-All right. -You a mess, boy.

-Hey, I gotta get this room ready

'fore the little one shows up. -That's right.

-Would you like something to drink?

-Absolutely. Yeah.

Give me something dark, please.

-Ooh, well, all we got up in here is water and soda.

Healthy living, man.

-[Chuckles] Wow.

So you, uh, finally got Mina, huh?

-Yeah.

-Mm-hmm. How is she?

-She's good. We're good, you know?

-Yeah.

You really - You really pouring me water in a glass?

-It's healthy. [Chuckles]

-[Sighs] -Like old times.

-Mnh-mnh. This is not like old times.

You been - Come on.

-[Laughs]

So what's up with you, man? How you been?

-I'm good, man. You know, business is business.

-Yeah, I know you, which means something's up.

What's going on with you, man?

-We need your help.

We need your help with a little situation

involving the mayor... -[Sighs]

-...and his band of fuck-ups.

We need some get-back.

-Well, um... haven't you had enough?

-Enough of what?

-Enough of the back and forth, tit for tat.

I mean, it gets old real fast, man.

-What are you talking about?

[Chuckles] Oh. Okay.

So y-you're saying you're not gonna help me.

[Chuckles] Wow.

Right. Wow.

My brother not gonna help me when I need him the most?

Stop playing.

-Corinthians 13:11.

-My nigga, don't quote me the Bible.

-Oh, you need to heed the Word.

-And you need to stop trippin'.

Who the fuck are you and what have you done with my brother?

Blue! Odell!

-[Chuckles] Oh, it's like that? Okay.

-Come on. You better stop playing with me.

??

So you - you - you really not gonna help me?

-Yes, I am.

But I can't help you with this one.

-[Chuckles].

Yeah, okay. All right.

I'll tell you what -

don't fool yourself.

Remember who you are, Blue.

'Cause the rest of the world ain't gonna forget.

-It is because of who I am that I can't do those things anymore!

-What the fuck ever,

-Wow. [Door slams]

You drive safe, Kendrick.

-You know, if I make this shot, I get all your money

in your commissary, right?

Yours, too.

Game. [Laughs]

Hey, yo, Ray Ray. How you holding up, man?

-Man, this shit is tough.

-You ain't gotta tell me.

I've been here way too long.

But what keeps me moving and staying in focus

is what I have right here.

You feel me?

-Yeah. I feel you.

I guess I also got my family, my girl.

-Oh, man, the love of a good woman.

Man, that shit is strong.

But being up in here,

I found something stronger than that -

the man upstairs.

-Yeah. No doubt.

-You know we got a chapel, right?

-Yeah. I-I heard about it.

-You ever been?

-No. I haven't.

-Me and the brothers go every Sunday.

You should pull up.

Let's be out.

I want my money, too.

-I will.

-Love you, too.

[Laughs]

So she says the paperwork

for Charles Williams and Andrew Jacobs

just hit her desk and the baby was sent

with the paternal grandmother on yesterday.

And they're still trying to find Charles' family

back in Louisiana 'cause his father's

in state prison in Angola. [Chuckles]

-So can he stay?

-Well, it usually takes six weeks

for the paperwork to finalize.

If she out of rehab by then,

he goes home with her.

But he's okay here for now.

-Go.

[Gunshots]

Nine seconds. New record.

-Cadet Lang.

Come with me.

-Okay. So who do we need on our team?

-Experts in computer encryption,

hacking, forensics, and ordnance.

-How about Joe Lin? He's sharp.

??

-What about ordnance?

We need an expert on these Russian weapons.

-I got a guy - Khan in Homicide,

a Delta Force Gulf War veteran.

He's new from Miami P.D.

So that leaves a forensics expert.

-Anita Harper. You'll like her.

She's from the Fifth Ward.

-Good. Let's take the fight to them.

-? When it rains in your heart

? Does it just leave a desert?

-Good afternoon, gentlemen. God is good.

-All the time.

-Let us bow our heads.

-Hey, it's our lucky day.

-Quiet our minds.

Still our hearts.

For your living ways are what we seek.

-Hey, you strapped?

-Strengthen our lives, inspire our spirits.

-There's only one way out of here.

That's through us.

-...your ways are living waters

that are endless.

Amen.

-You're doing the right thing. Remember that.

-Why are you making me do this?

-The toughest decisions require discipline,

something you need.

In time, you will thank me for this.

-IDs please. And you, ma'am?

-I'm not coming in.

Do what we came here to do so we can all move forward from this.

Jazmine.

He better fully believe you, 'cause I can make sure

he stays in jail for the whole 10 years.

-Okay, you're all set.

Go to that door, and I'll buzz you in.

-Thank you.

[Buzzer]

??

??

-"What does an industrialist dream of?"

What the fuck?

??

??

Hey.

Yeah. You busy?

Yeah. I need to see you about something.

[Scoffs]

No, I'll explain it when I get there.

Just - Just be there. Listen.

They know where I fucking live. I'll explain later.

-The valley of dry bones.

The Lord asked Ezekiel to -

to do some things.

He came to him in a vision

and he asked him to - to - to...

-Eddie! [Knocking]

Hey, how you doing?

-Who is it?

-It's me, Pops. -Odell?

-In the flesh. [Chuckles]

Good to see you, man.

-And who is this beauty?

-Hi, Pastor Davis.

-Uh, should I know you?

-[Chuckles] -I don't know you, do I?

She does look familiar, though.

She is gorgeous. -Ain't she, though?

-It's me, Mina. Mina Boudreaux.

-I knew it!

Y'all together?

-[Chuckles]

So how you been, man?

Good as I ever, you know, been.

Better than most.

Better than you. -[Laughs]

Boy, you never let up, Pops. [Chuckles]

-[Knocking] Hey, don't mean to interrupt, man,

but administration - they have some insurance forms

that your brother didn't review last week.

It shouldn't take but just a minute, man.

-Okay. Yeah. You good?

-Oh, yeah. I'll be fine.

-Okay, I'll be right back. Okay, Pops?

Right.

-Well, well.

-That boy always loved you.

Despite your father's betrayal.

-It was Reverend Parker's father who betrayed you,

Reverend Davis.

He stole your church.

-Your daddy helped him.

My two... beloved assistant pastors

took everything I built.

-I didn't know.

-Later, Reverend Parker's father turned against your daddy

and kicked him out the church, too.

-I'm sorry. Maybe I should just go.

-Wait, wait a minute, wait.

Just sit down, child.

Forgive me.

I'm just an old fool.

Y'all was just blameless pastors' kids.

You, my three boys,

Benny, his sister.

Y'all - Y'all just dealt -

y'all just had to deal with our bullshit.

I'm sorry for that.

-Come to the church homecoming.

-Oh, no!

Eddie won't be there. [Chuckles]

No.

-Hmm.

Well, they kicked me out, too. So I'm going back anyway.

-What's going on?

-I would like you and your father

to come with me to the church homecoming.

-Oh, no, Mina.

-Homecoming is all about new beginnings.

-They did my father dirty over there, okay?

They sullied our family name.

Later, my mother died from the heartbreak.

I - There's no way in hell I'm stepping foot

back in that church.

Look, um, Pops.

I just got a call from the new club.

I gotta run, okay?

But I'ma come back to see you real soon, right?

I promise. -All right.

-You're looking good, man.

Looking good, old man.

-All right.

??

It sure is good to see

y'all back together again.

-Thanks, Pops. -[Chuckles]

-All right, Pop. -Goodbye, Reverend.

We should visit more. -Yeah.

-Well, I thought you only had one brother.

-Well, I do - Kendrick.

-But your dad just said that, uh -

-Oh, look, that man is getting old.

He get a little confused sometimes.

But he was a rolling stone. [Laughs]

-Oh, wow. -Yep. Church man.

-All right, gentlemen, see you next Sunday.

??

-Raymond Kennedy.

Are you Raymond Kennedy? Let's go.

Come on. You have a visitor.

Come on! Go.

??

-? Three hots and a cot

? And nothing but these four damn walls ?

? Letters, visitation and limited phone calls ?

? Locked down 24 hours

? Shit, shave, and shower...

-Hey, baby.

Y-You don't know how much it means to have you here.

I miss you so much.

-I miss you, too.

How are you doing?

-I'm better now.

Look at you.

Looking just as beautiful as the first day I met you.

[Chuckles]

How've you been?

-I've been fine.

It's just tough not having you around, you know?

-Well, look, baby, I'm getting out of here soon.

And we can still go out to Cali like we planned,

you know, like, you going to UCLA,

me doing my music thing.

Hey. Is everything okay?

-I got accepted to Harvard, and that's where I'll be going.

-Wait. Wait. What?

-With so many miles between us, it won't work.

-Wh- What are you saying?

-Ever since we've been together, it's been nothing but drama.

We're too different, Ray Ray.

We come from different cultures.

We were raised from different... villages.

And I-I can't do this anymore.

-Wait, wait, wait.

Where is this coming from?

You serious?

Ja- Jazmine.

You're my one reason to get out of here,

what my heart focuses on.

J-Jazmine, please don't -

-I've had a lot of time to think.

You were right. This isn't a Disney movie.

So I give up.

I quit.

-I ain't got nothin' else to live for.

Look, y-you can't do this to me, not right now. Ja-

-Why do you make everything about you?

-Ja...

-Good luck with your music, Ray Ray, and everything else.

Goodbye.

-Wait.

[Muffled] Ja- Jazmine!

Jazmine, I lo- I love you!

Wa...Ja...

Hey, chill! Damn!

??

-Get off of me.

-Jazmine.

??

??

??

??

??

-So this is gonna go one of two ways.

You fall back.

Or we put your scalp back to the white meat, puta.

You two motherfuckers!

Listen and listen good.

You fuck with my little nigga,

if you look in that nigga's direction,

it's a fuckin' wrap.

[Knock on door]

-Come in.

-Hi. Dylan Stone? -Who are you?

-Uh, tell me, what exactly is your relationship to this woman?

It's Ms. Constancia, isn't it?

-She's my grandmother.

-And how old are you?

-Hey, uh, what's this about?

-Listen, I'm from the Department of Social Services,

and the more you cooperate, the quicker this goes.

-I'm 17.

-She cannot have a dependent living underneath her roof

while we pay and fund her health care.

That's the rule. -Wait. You can't be serious.

-If you don't,

she will be moved and placed in hospice.

-Whoa, you ain't taking my granny to nobody's hospice.

-If you don't have a family member over the age of 18

who's willing to take full responsibility for you,

you're gonna have to go into foster care

or even a group home.

-Funding.

Oh, why didn't you just say that from jump?

This is about money. Okay.

I got money. Here.

I can pay for whatever she needs.

-Baby. I'm sorry.

It doesn't go that way.

But I can give you my card.

Sorry.

??

??

??

-He didn't deserve that.

Why'd you lie about Harvard?

-Because I love him.

-Well, if it's really meant to be with you and Ray Ray,

you can stay with him after you finish college.

Right?

-No. [Sighs]

You're too smart to be my little sister.

I love you, My Hahn.

-I love you, [indistinct].

-All right, everyone.

My partner and I need the best team available

for a top-secret project.

And since you guys are the cream of the crop,

you've been selected for this new special task force.

So without further ado,

let me introduce everyone.

This is Joe Lin.

This is Detective Sahib Khan.

And to my right is Anita Harper.

And this is Leslie Lang.

Starting to sound like a dream team.

Can I trust you guys?

-Without a doubt.

-Of course.

-I'm all in, sir.

-Same here.

-Good. Let's get to work.

[Doorbell rings]

[Door closes]

-[Sighs]

Hey, all right, look, Allyson,

this shit is getting ridiculous now, all right?

So first -

first they were coming to the office.

Now they're showing up at my house.

[Mid-tempo song playing indistinctly in background]

??

-"What does an industrialist dream of?"

I'm assuming you have an idea of who this must have come from?

-Some guy named Professor Nelson.

Yeah, so I went to Sunnybrook.

-The mental facility? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He's a - he's a patient there.

But they wouldn't let me see him, of course.

So, you know, I was hoping

you could work some of your magic?

-Ah.

Sure.

-Yeah, that's crazy, Jaz.

I mean, no disrespect,

but tiger mom's really trippin' with this one.

-That's weird coming from you.

-Yeah, well, if you really love Ray Ray,

I can't throw shade on that.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa. Is she really apologizing?

Hold on, I need to record this.

-Shut up, Darien.

And, yes, I am.

[Sighs] So what's next?

-He'll be released soon. That was our bargain.

-So you gonna link up with him? -Can't risk it.

I love him too much to go forward.

And after what I said today...

it's over.

-If you love him, you should at least try.

-Yeah. And if you need help, like sneaking around,

we can help you with that.

-I don't know. Maybe we really are different.

-Different is a good thing.

-Yeah. It's what makes y'all beautiful.

-And, like, whatever y'all have,

you can, like, build on that, you know?

-If you could have seen his face when I left the jail,

I broke him.

-I mean, not to take anything away from you, Jaz,

but he kind of hasn't seen a woman in a while, so...

-That's not funny.

-Well, while you wait for your true love's return,

let's go get froyo.

-Yes, please, let's go get froyo.

-Actually, can I stay here? I'm tired.

Can y'all get me a smoothie? Strawberry-banana.

-Um...okay.

-Thanks, guys.

-We'll be right back.

-My message to...

local, state, federal government is to, uh...

confess, be honest about what took place in this community.

Be honest about what -

be as honest about what crack cocaine did

to this community as you are

about what heroin and the other drugs

are doing to the communities that don't look like this one,

the communities that are not people of color,

communities that are not people of low means.

Be honest about that.

And once you're honest about that,

come forward and atone for it.

And you can attribute and contribute

some of the deprivation that exists even in 2020

to what happened in the 1980s,

because those cycles haven't been broken.

The same way wealth has been built over time for others

is the same way poverty has been exacerbated.

My message to the kids being raised in Fifth Ward today

is to preserve, protect,

promote, and pay homage.

You know, preserve what's here, protect its history, its legacy,

and pay homage to those that paved the way for,

you know, the Fifth Ward community

and those that came out of it, the fruit of Fifth Ward.

-Here about Ms. Constancia?

-Everything's gonna be okay, Grandma.

I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.

-What's up, man?

-What's up? What you doing here?

-Hey, man, I need to holler at you for a minute.

-Oh, a'ight.

[Monitor beeping]

-[Sighs] What's up, man?

Shit, brother.

Oh.

-Yo, did somebody die?

-No, no, no, no. It ain't nothing like that.

-Well, okay.

-I heard about Grandma and the, um,

issue she got with the disability SSI.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

-Okay, cool. Can you help me?

-I got you on that. -All right!

-But this ain't gonna be easy for me to say,

so it's probably gonna be best if I just come out and say it.

It's something I should've told you a long time ago.

-All right, bro.

-Dylan, you're my son.

I'm your father.

-Wha...

??

-? Yeah, yeah

? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

? Truth is a mystery, yeah

? Sometimes we only see

? What we wanna see

? And that's a fake reality

? Our mind is pre-programmed, ha ?

? By the powers that be

? But we should think about shifting our thoughts ?

? To the Almighty

-? Everything we think we know

-? Makes us believe we know enough ?

-? But we oughta leave room to grow ?

-? There's so much that we don't know ?

? Night is history

? Time isn't guaranteed

? And every time I think about the time I had ?

? I miss another opportunity

? Night is history

? Time isn't guaranteed

? And every time I think about the time I had ?

? I miss another opportunity

? The science is not settled

-Things ain't never settled.

-? I don't care what they say

? But if you ain't on that level ?

? They'll try and put you away

? So much more to discover

? Many more things to see

? I don't have all the answers

? But I pray God will reveal to me ?

-? Everything we think we know

-? Makes us believe we know enough ?

-? But we oughta leave room to grow ?
