LAUREN: Christmas is supposed
to be a time when
families come together

and celebrate the birth
of Jesus Christ.

to be something
totally different.

I don't know some
of this crap, man.

512
00:25:01,801 --> 00:25:03,469
All right, so it was making
noise or what?

513
00:25:03,502 --> 00:25:06,906
It was like going on with
a little noise,
it shook a little bit.

514
00:25:06,939 --> 00:25:09,876
So we pull it over, cut off,
and now won't come back on.

515
00:25:09,909 --> 00:25:12,645
Okay, you guys cut it off
and now...

Yeah, he fucked it up.

I'm fine.

00:26:14,607 --> 00:26:18,010
Look, I've never seen you
act like that before,
I mean...

543
00:26:18,044 --> 00:26:21,080
So aggressive.

544

I'm black, Doug, there's
little bit of aggression
in all of us.

Why can't you just
give yourself a shot?

I wish it was that simple.

Dad, how long have
you had this issue?

550
00:26:43,870 --> 00:26:45,271
And why did you
let it get so bad?

let a tumor grow so big.

I thought it was a heart issue.

a staph infection from
messing with Nurse Jones.

Really, Dad, you don't
even like Christmas.

just like his father.

Oh, Henry,
he was going places.

He always knew how to dress.

836
00:40:31,062 --> 00:40:36,535
And when I was with him,
I felt like the First Lady.

837
00:40:36,568 --> 00:40:39,671
And anything he needed,
I gave him.

838
00:40:39,705 --> 00:40:43,341
I mean, I was even willing
to break laws with this man.

What do you mean break laws?

840
00:40:45,210 --> 00:40:50,949
Well that's the kind of control
he had over me, in every way,
Oh, I loved Henry.

841
00:40:50,982 --> 00:40:56,221
But his father did not love me,

00:40:57,589 --> 00:41:00,091
"You can't marry
that farm slave."

00:41:00,125 --> 00:41:01,159

844
00:41:01,192 --> 00:41:04,530
Yes, that's what he called me.

845
00:41:04,563 --> 00:41:09,501
He said that, my kind
had a slave mentality.

And that I wasn't worthy
of being with one

864
00:42:10,528 --> 00:42:13,999
it was not unseen,
but it was not popular.

865
00:42:14,032 --> 00:42:18,436
And William introduced
me to Cocaine.

866
00:42:18,469 --> 00:42:25,076
Yes, and drugs
in a relationship
can be deadly.

867
00:42:25,110 --> 00:42:30,315
That drug, the feeling of it
was like nothing else,
and it made me

more and more.

was a drug dealer.

And he was killed
by a supplier,
that he owed money to.

873

And after that, I woke up.
