00:00:05,448 --> 00:00:07,000
[door closes]
2
00:00:07,103 --> 00:00:09,137
How do you do it?
3
00:00:09,241 --> 00:00:10,620
Do what?
4
00:00:10,724 --> 00:00:13,482
Steal my breath away. [chuckles]
5
00:00:13,586 --> 00:00:15,620
Oh, you need to quit. [laughs]
6
00:00:15,724 --> 00:00:17,793
Woman, you slay me.
7
00:00:17,896 --> 00:00:19,931
-[chuckles]: Oh.
-Mmm...
8
00:00:21,620 --> 00:00:24,379
Oh, and you got the nerve
to smell good, too.
9
00:00:24,482 --> 00:00:25,689
So do you. [chuckles]
10
00:00:25,793 --> 00:00:27,206
But dinner awaits.
11
00:00:27,310 --> 00:00:29,137
It can await longer.
12
00:00:29,241 --> 00:00:31,241
You're going to need
some energy.
13
00:00:31,344 --> 00:00:33,620
For my squash game with Martin?
14
00:00:33,724 --> 00:00:35,931
-For what comes after.
-Oh...
15
00:00:37,413 --> 00:00:40,275
-Let's get this show
on the road. -[laughs]
16
00:00:40,276 --> 00:00:41,654
I'll go have the car
pulled around.
17
00:00:41,655 --> 00:00:43,172
All right.
18
00:00:43,275 --> 00:00:45,275
-[doorbell rings]
-[scoffs]
19
00:00:48,551 --> 00:00:50,862
-[door opens]
-Well, this is a surprise.
20
00:00:50,965 --> 00:00:52,068
Who is it, darling?
21
00:00:52,172 --> 00:00:55,103
I can show you
better than I can tell you.
22
00:00:56,931 --> 00:00:58,965
Only your soul sisters.
23
00:00:59,931 --> 00:01:02,172
[laughing]
24
00:01:08,034 --> 00:01:10,793
They say doomscrolling
is bad for your health.
25
00:01:10,896 --> 00:01:12,931
Yeah, I believe it. [sighs]
26
00:01:12,932 --> 00:01:15,033
Are you ready for
your squash game with Vernon?
27
00:01:15,034 --> 00:01:17,384
Yeah. The grands are
grabbing something light
28
00:01:17,413 --> 00:01:19,068
at the club beforehand,
29
00:01:19,172 --> 00:01:21,724
but I got some time
before I leave.
30
00:01:21,725 --> 00:01:23,999
Unless you want to come with me
and we can eat with them.
31
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,344
I don't have
much of an appetite.
32
00:01:26,448 --> 00:01:28,689
Gran and Granddad would love
to see you.
33
00:01:28,793 --> 00:01:31,000
Thank you for the invite,
babe, but...
34
00:01:32,206 --> 00:01:34,736
...I don't think that I'd be
the best company tonight.
35
00:01:36,896 --> 00:01:38,620
Something on your mind?
36
00:01:39,931 --> 00:01:41,758
I can't stop thinking about Lia.
37
00:01:41,862 --> 00:01:44,896
I just saw her the other day,
and now she's gone.
38
00:01:47,068 --> 00:01:49,758
This is what you call
haute cuisine. [chuckles]
39
00:01:50,758 --> 00:01:53,103
Aren't you two glad
that you came?
40
00:01:53,206 --> 00:01:56,723
Well, I am happy
as a bottomless mimosa
41
00:01:56,827 --> 00:01:59,206
that you were able
to join me for dinner.
42
00:01:59,207 --> 00:02:01,240
Yeah, well, you didn't
leave us much choice
43
00:02:01,241 --> 00:02:02,895
after you insisted
we come to you
44
00:02:02,896 --> 00:02:04,758
or you'd come to the apartment.
45
00:02:04,759 --> 00:02:06,240
LESLIE:
Girl, hush, please.
46
00:02:06,241 --> 00:02:07,964
Ain't like y'all had
something to do anyway.
47
00:02:07,965 --> 00:02:09,285
Ain't that right, Izaiah?
48
00:02:09,344 --> 00:02:11,862
We, uh...
49
00:02:11,965 --> 00:02:14,344
We can think of a few things.
50
00:02:14,448 --> 00:02:17,482
Well, there's nothing better
than spending
51
00:02:17,586 --> 00:02:19,172
quality time with your mama.
52
00:02:19,275 --> 00:02:20,344
Hmm?
53
00:02:25,586 --> 00:02:28,034
Yeah, nothing at all.
54
00:02:28,137 --> 00:02:30,000
[stifled coughing]
55
00:02:30,103 --> 00:02:31,793
You okay, Mama?
56
00:02:31,896 --> 00:02:34,310
Um, I can bring the waiter
to get you more water.
57
00:02:34,413 --> 00:02:36,103
Know what you can
really give me?
58
00:02:36,793 --> 00:02:40,275
What I really want
is that one right there.
59
00:02:40,379 --> 00:02:42,067
Do y'all know who that is?
60
00:02:42,172 --> 00:02:43,448
No clue.
61
00:02:43,551 --> 00:02:47,034
That is none other than
Lionel Belleclaire.
62
00:02:47,137 --> 00:02:49,551
Right, yeah. Yeah, that is him.
63
00:02:49,655 --> 00:02:52,586
I think he sits on the public
safety council with my pops.
64
00:02:52,689 --> 00:02:55,448
Well, any relation to
those snooty Belleclaires
65
00:02:55,551 --> 00:02:58,517
that tried to ruin
my niece's cotillion experience?
66
00:02:58,620 --> 00:03:03,896
Lionel is the first
of Anastasia's four husbands.
67
00:03:03,897 --> 00:03:06,240
They have children,
grandchildren together,
68
00:03:06,241 --> 00:03:09,758
including that saditty
little mini-me of hers, Chessy.
69
00:03:09,862 --> 00:03:12,172
You know,
the Platinum Deb wannabe.
70
00:03:12,173 --> 00:03:14,309
Well, if she married
three dudes after him,
71
00:03:14,310 --> 00:03:16,102
then why does she keep
his last name?
72
00:03:16,103 --> 00:03:20,172
Because, baby girl,
the Belleclaire name... [scoffs]
73
00:03:20,275 --> 00:03:23,310
...it looms very large
and carries a lot of weight
74
00:03:23,413 --> 00:03:25,758
-around these here parts.
-Mm-hmm.
75
00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:27,688
-Well, they got pull, for sure.
-Mm-hmm.
76
00:03:27,689 --> 00:03:30,619
Hell, the only other name
with clout in Barrington County
77
00:03:30,620 --> 00:03:32,206
is Dupree.
78
00:03:34,517 --> 00:03:35,586
[Leslie sighs]
79
00:03:37,482 --> 00:03:39,000
How do I look?
80
00:03:40,034 --> 00:03:42,172
Mama, what are you doing?
81
00:03:42,275 --> 00:03:46,689
Not only is Lionel Belleclaire
a ranking member
82
00:03:46,793 --> 00:03:49,965
of the Fairmont Crest
Homeowner's Association,
83
00:03:50,067 --> 00:03:54,482
he is the chair over
the architectural association
84
00:03:54,586 --> 00:03:56,551
as well- the committee.
85
00:03:56,655 --> 00:03:58,758
So guess what that means.
[laughs]
86
00:03:58,862 --> 00:04:03,034
He can help me get
these people off my back
87
00:04:03,137 --> 00:04:05,344
about building my shouse.
88
00:04:05,448 --> 00:04:07,310
Yeah, he is the man.
89
00:04:07,413 --> 00:04:08,586
[stammers]
90
00:04:08,689 --> 00:04:10,129
What about our fancy dinner?
91
00:04:10,206 --> 00:04:13,000
Oh. It'll be here
when I get back, child.
92
00:04:16,481 --> 00:04:19,137
Okay, I don't have
a good feeling about this.
93
00:04:19,241 --> 00:04:21,827
? ?
94
00:04:49,206 --> 00:04:50,379
Hungry?
95
00:04:51,586 --> 00:04:52,636
Uh-oh.
96
00:04:53,620 --> 00:04:55,551
Design issues?
97
00:04:55,655 --> 00:04:58,413
The casino remodel
off to a bad start?
98
00:04:58,517 --> 00:05:00,517
No, that's not...
99
00:05:00,620 --> 00:05:01,670
No.
100
00:05:02,931 --> 00:05:05,206
Do I have to have a talk
with the designer?
101
00:05:05,310 --> 00:05:07,206
[chuckles] No need for that.
102
00:05:07,207 --> 00:05:09,067
Your soon-to-be
brand-spanking-new
103
00:05:09,068 --> 00:05:11,724
high roller suite is
coming together nicely.
104
00:05:11,725 --> 00:05:13,861
-Wonderful.
-In fact, I've been assured
105
00:05:13,862 --> 00:05:15,758
it'll be completed in no time.
106
00:05:15,862 --> 00:05:17,482
That's all good news.
107
00:05:17,586 --> 00:05:19,137
Yeah, it is.
108
00:05:19,138 --> 00:05:20,274
Really great.
109
00:05:20,275 --> 00:05:22,206
Then why are you so glum?
110
00:05:23,034 --> 00:05:24,517
It's Doug.
111
00:05:26,379 --> 00:05:28,000
He died a year ago this month.
112
00:05:30,620 --> 00:05:32,068
Oh, well...
113
00:05:32,172 --> 00:05:34,275
no wonder you're upset.
114
00:05:34,276 --> 00:05:36,067
I'm meeting Deanna at Uptown
to go through
115
00:05:36,068 --> 00:05:38,068
some more of
her father's belongings.
116
00:05:39,862 --> 00:05:41,724
[sighs]
117
00:05:46,482 --> 00:05:49,931
You know, I really don't enjoy
seeing you like this.
118
00:05:51,068 --> 00:05:52,689
What can I do?
119
00:05:52,793 --> 00:05:54,206
You're doing it.
120
00:05:55,206 --> 00:05:56,965
Just by being here for me.
121
00:06:03,034 --> 00:06:04,517
[sighs] Of course you are.
122
00:06:04,620 --> 00:06:06,862
He's all tangled up
in your bra strap.
123
00:06:07,517 --> 00:06:09,482
DOUG:
I can't believe your mother.
124
00:06:10,482 --> 00:06:12,103
Daddy?
125
00:06:12,206 --> 00:06:13,586
Hey, Deanna Doll.
126
00:06:13,689 --> 00:06:15,379
What are you doing here?
127
00:06:16,517 --> 00:06:18,241
I'm just sitting here wondering
128
00:06:18,344 --> 00:06:21,896
how your mother can be
by that man's side
129
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,965
at a time like this.
130
00:06:29,482 --> 00:06:31,931
-It's so good to see you.
-Oh, likewise, sis.
131
00:06:32,034 --> 00:06:35,413
And check you out,
over here serving looks, too.
132
00:06:35,517 --> 00:06:37,517
-Is that what the kids say?
-Uh-huh.
133
00:06:37,518 --> 00:06:39,171
-Wearing the mess out that fit.
-[laughs]
134
00:06:39,172 --> 00:06:41,103
-Absolutely stunning.
-Aw.
135
00:06:41,206 --> 00:06:43,586
Well, thank God
I don't look like
136
00:06:43,587 --> 00:06:44,999
what I've just been through.
137
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,379
Oh, even in
your worst days of chemo,
138
00:06:49,482 --> 00:06:52,689
everyone who laid eyes on you
was touched by your radiance.
139
00:06:52,793 --> 00:06:54,113
That's right, honey chile.
140
00:06:54,172 --> 00:06:56,172
He is telling you
like it T-I is.
141
00:06:56,275 --> 00:07:00,068
Or he's just making deposits
that he can cash in on tonight.
142
00:07:00,172 --> 00:07:02,241
[laughter]
143
00:07:03,931 --> 00:07:08,034
Well, we know you look good,
but how are you feeling, Anita?
144
00:07:08,137 --> 00:07:09,310
Stronger every day.
145
00:07:09,413 --> 00:07:11,448
Ah, that's what we love to hear.
146
00:07:11,551 --> 00:07:14,379
Well, since you're feeling
so strong and whatnot...
147
00:07:14,482 --> 00:07:17,172
SHARON:
Why won't you bring your behind
148
00:07:17,275 --> 00:07:20,620
out there onstage with us
at DC Jazz Fest?
149
00:07:21,303 --> 00:07:24,585
I would love to help you,
Leslie, but...
150
00:07:24,586 --> 00:07:26,689
So help me, Lionel.
151
00:07:26,793 --> 00:07:28,448
Hmm?
152
00:07:28,551 --> 00:07:31,206
You are a man of action,
aren't you?
153
00:07:31,207 --> 00:07:33,343
Well, I would certainly
like to think so.
154
00:07:33,344 --> 00:07:35,344
Mm, and I can tell
that you admire those
155
00:07:35,448 --> 00:07:38,137
who strive to achieve,
don't you?
156
00:07:38,241 --> 00:07:39,620
-Certainly.
-Yes.
157
00:07:39,724 --> 00:07:42,275
So I am not asking for much.
158
00:07:42,379 --> 00:07:45,586
Only that you use
your considerable influence
159
00:07:45,689 --> 00:07:49,724
to help me achieve
my dream shouse.
160
00:07:50,724 --> 00:07:52,379
I'm sorry. Your what?
161
00:07:52,380 --> 00:07:54,550
It doesn't look like
Mr. Bougie Belleclaire
162
00:07:54,551 --> 00:07:56,000
is taking Mama's bait.
163
00:07:56,103 --> 00:07:57,586
I wouldn't count her out.
164
00:07:57,689 --> 00:08:00,551
You and I both know
how persistent your mama can be.
165
00:08:02,241 --> 00:08:05,172
[sighs] Speaking of,
do you have any idea
166
00:08:05,173 --> 00:08:07,033
how hard it was for me
to leave your apartment,
167
00:08:07,034 --> 00:08:09,896
considering the way
I was about to devour you?
168
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,482
[chuckles] No, tell me.
169
00:08:12,586 --> 00:08:14,896
How hard was it?
170
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,275
[laughs]
171
00:08:16,379 --> 00:08:17,793
You're something else, Eva.
172
00:08:17,896 --> 00:08:20,620
What can I say?
I get it from my mama.
173
00:08:20,724 --> 00:08:22,793
Feel better?
174
00:08:22,896 --> 00:08:26,896
A splash of cold water helped,
but I feel...
175
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,482
I'm feeling sick to my stomach.
176
00:08:29,586 --> 00:08:31,146
You know, I would never say this
177
00:08:31,241 --> 00:08:33,136
to Deanna
about her father, but...
178
00:08:34,136 --> 00:08:36,861
I am dreading going through
more of Doug's things.
179
00:08:37,827 --> 00:08:40,034
I, uh...
180
00:08:40,035 --> 00:08:42,171
thought you'd gone
through that already.
181
00:08:42,172 --> 00:08:43,931
I did. [sighs]
182
00:08:44,793 --> 00:08:47,863
Doug saved some sentimental
items specifically for Deanna.
183
00:08:48,862 --> 00:08:50,379
They were always so close.
184
00:08:51,482 --> 00:08:54,551
She left them with me because,
oh, she just wasn't ready to...
185
00:08:56,724 --> 00:08:58,931
I'm sure she'll appreciate
the memories.
186
00:08:59,034 --> 00:09:00,517
Yeah.
187
00:09:00,620 --> 00:09:04,000
Can't say I enjoy seeing
the effect it's having on you.
188
00:09:04,103 --> 00:09:07,379
Well, we both thought it best
to wait until she was home
189
00:09:07,482 --> 00:09:09,832
and in a good headspace
before looking at them.
190
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,861
You're a good mother, Vanessa.
191
00:09:12,862 --> 00:09:16,448
She's finally starting to feel
like herself again, Joey.
192
00:09:17,655 --> 00:09:19,275
I can't get in the way of that.
193
00:09:19,379 --> 00:09:21,655
She's lucky to have you
help her through it.
194
00:09:21,758 --> 00:09:23,748
She shouldn't have
to grieve him at all.
195
00:09:25,206 --> 00:09:27,137
The way Doug died...
196
00:09:27,241 --> 00:09:28,381
drinking and driving,
197
00:09:28,482 --> 00:09:31,206
my husband did not
have to go out like that.
198
00:09:31,207 --> 00:09:35,136
I can't believe how long
it's taking for your mother
199
00:09:35,137 --> 00:09:37,448
to get from under Joey's thumb.
200
00:09:37,551 --> 00:09:39,620
I-Is it just me?
201
00:09:39,724 --> 00:09:42,551
[sighs] They can't
come up off each other.
202
00:09:42,552 --> 00:09:44,412
But I've been taking
your advice, though.
203
00:09:44,413 --> 00:09:46,826
I've managed to convince Mom
that I'm okay with them dating
204
00:09:46,827 --> 00:09:48,310
to gain their trust.
205
00:09:48,413 --> 00:09:50,379
That's good.
206
00:09:50,482 --> 00:09:53,310
It's progress, but...
207
00:09:53,413 --> 00:09:55,206
payback's long overdue.
208
00:09:55,310 --> 00:09:57,965
I just need more time
to figure out a way
209
00:09:58,068 --> 00:10:00,896
to expose Joey
for the monster he really is.
210
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,724
More time?
211
00:10:02,827 --> 00:10:04,448
Sweetheart, it's been a year
212
00:10:04,551 --> 00:10:06,896
since that son of a bitch
put me in the ground.
213
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,827
You think
that I don't know that?
214
00:10:08,931 --> 00:10:09,981
NOAH:
Deanna?
215
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,793
Who you talking to?
216
00:10:18,551 --> 00:10:21,021
Yeah, Mom, I'm already here.
I'll see you soon. Bye.
217
00:10:21,931 --> 00:10:24,724
-Sorry, I was on a call.
-It used to be when people were
218
00:10:24,725 --> 00:10:26,481
talking to themselves,
you called them nuts.
219
00:10:26,482 --> 00:10:28,757
-Now they're just
on their phone. -I know, right?
220
00:10:28,758 --> 00:10:30,827
[laughs]:
Thanks to these things.
221
00:10:30,828 --> 00:10:34,447
-So what's up with you?
-I just grabbed something to eat
222
00:10:34,448 --> 00:10:35,964
and then I was thinking about
trying to chill out
223
00:10:35,965 --> 00:10:38,551
with a walk before
I head back to the clinic.
224
00:10:38,655 --> 00:10:40,068
This late?
225
00:10:40,069 --> 00:10:41,585
Well, one of the volunteers
asked me
226
00:10:41,586 --> 00:10:43,481
to pick up part of
their shift tonight, so...
227
00:10:43,482 --> 00:10:44,532
How about you?
228
00:10:44,586 --> 00:10:46,275
Just trying to chill, too.
229
00:10:46,379 --> 00:10:47,551
Not having much luck.
230
00:10:47,655 --> 00:10:49,655
I might have something for that.
231
00:10:49,758 --> 00:10:51,172
It's worth a shot.
232
00:10:51,275 --> 00:10:53,413
All right. Here goes.
233
00:10:55,379 --> 00:10:58,448
Two of the Articulettes are
performing at Jazz Fest,
234
00:10:58,449 --> 00:11:00,240
and I got tickets
for tomorrow night
235
00:11:00,241 --> 00:11:02,172
if you want to join me.
236
00:11:02,173 --> 00:11:04,343
Um, sounds fun,
but I'm not really in the mood
237
00:11:04,344 --> 00:11:05,965
to be around a bunch of people.
238
00:11:06,068 --> 00:11:07,827
Is everything okay?
239
00:11:07,931 --> 00:11:10,000
It's just...
240
00:11:10,103 --> 00:11:12,620
a year since losing my dad.
241
00:11:15,344 --> 00:11:16,689
Keep 'em coming.
242
00:11:17,655 --> 00:11:19,103
It's about Doug.
243
00:11:19,206 --> 00:11:20,793
I want...
244
00:11:20,896 --> 00:11:23,931
I need to do whatever it takes
not to end up
245
00:11:24,034 --> 00:11:25,724
in a ditch like my friend.
246
00:11:25,827 --> 00:11:28,241
I'd say the odds of that
are going up.
247
00:11:33,344 --> 00:11:35,793
I should get going.
Deanna's waiting for me.
248
00:11:35,896 --> 00:11:38,586
You can do this, Vanessa.
249
00:11:38,689 --> 00:11:40,586
You're stronger than you think.
250
00:11:40,689 --> 00:11:42,103
Doesn't feel like it.
251
00:11:42,206 --> 00:11:43,896
Strongest person I know.
252
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,034
Because you've had to be.
253
00:11:46,137 --> 00:11:48,137
That means a lot,
coming from you.
254
00:11:49,551 --> 00:11:50,758
I'll see you later.
255
00:11:51,793 --> 00:11:54,275
I'd tell you
to give Deanna my best...
256
00:11:54,379 --> 00:11:56,931
Yeah, that-that probably
isn't a good idea.
257
00:11:57,034 --> 00:11:58,758
Not just yet.
258
00:11:58,862 --> 00:12:02,310
She's come so far in terms of
accepting your place in my life.
259
00:12:02,413 --> 00:12:04,793
I... would hate
to cause a setback.
260
00:12:06,758 --> 00:12:07,862
[door opens]
261
00:12:07,965 --> 00:12:10,034
I know this isn't
what you want to hear,
262
00:12:10,137 --> 00:12:11,827
but I have not changed my mind.
263
00:12:11,931 --> 00:12:13,482
But why?
264
00:12:13,586 --> 00:12:16,758
I am not ready for the stage,
not yet.
265
00:12:16,862 --> 00:12:19,206
That's not a real reason.
266
00:12:19,310 --> 00:12:21,960
And there's more than enough
time for us to get ready.
267
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,862
We've performed spectacularly
268
00:12:23,965 --> 00:12:26,103
with far less prep time
in the past.
269
00:12:27,172 --> 00:12:29,342
Why don't you use
some of that Dupree charm
270
00:12:29,413 --> 00:12:31,379
to help us out here, Vernon?
271
00:12:31,380 --> 00:12:32,999
TRACY:
Your powers of persuasion
272
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,378
helped you get reelected
into the Senate so many times
273
00:12:35,379 --> 00:12:37,102
that your opponents
were inspired
274
00:12:37,103 --> 00:12:39,482
to just start squawking
about term limits.
275
00:12:39,586 --> 00:12:43,000
Surely you can cajole your wife
into joining us.
276
00:12:44,482 --> 00:12:48,206
I've tried convincing Anita
to perform during Jazz Fest,
277
00:12:48,310 --> 00:12:50,965
but her mind is made up.
278
00:12:51,068 --> 00:12:53,000
And it's not gonna change.
279
00:12:53,103 --> 00:12:57,172
I am not gonna fall on my face
in front of thousands of people,
280
00:12:57,275 --> 00:12:59,413
not to mention
the armchair critics
281
00:12:59,517 --> 00:13:01,068
and couch potato pundits
282
00:13:01,069 --> 00:13:03,136
just waiting to trash me
on social media.
283
00:13:03,137 --> 00:13:07,103
You can't be worried about
the naysayers and nobodies.
284
00:13:07,206 --> 00:13:11,448
You both know that
that has happened to more than
285
00:13:11,551 --> 00:13:13,541
a few of our peers
from the good old days.
286
00:13:13,586 --> 00:13:16,275
And I am not gonna be
somebody's silly meme.
287
00:13:16,379 --> 00:13:18,448
Anita Williams Dupree,
288
00:13:18,551 --> 00:13:22,000
you have always been
such a stubborn perfectionist.
289
00:13:23,068 --> 00:13:25,827
No performance is ever
good enough in your eyes.
290
00:13:25,931 --> 00:13:27,344
Tracy's right.
291
00:13:27,448 --> 00:13:30,586
So you may not be
at peak performance level.
292
00:13:30,689 --> 00:13:33,172
I know those golden pipes
of yours are still
293
00:13:33,275 --> 00:13:36,000
the envy of
many a lesser songbird.
294
00:13:36,103 --> 00:13:39,344
And appealing to my vanity
is not going to work.
295
00:13:39,448 --> 00:13:41,137
Not this time. Look.
296
00:13:41,241 --> 00:13:44,275
Vernon and I have to meet
our grandson at the club,
297
00:13:44,276 --> 00:13:45,688
and don't the two of you have
298
00:13:45,689 --> 00:13:47,516
a performance
you should be getting ready for?
299
00:13:47,517 --> 00:13:48,931
That shi-shi-foo-foo club
300
00:13:49,034 --> 00:13:52,344
that y'all love
to hold court at can wait.
301
00:13:52,448 --> 00:13:55,206
Sharon, you just don't quit,
do you?
302
00:13:55,310 --> 00:13:58,137
Nope. You say your voice
ain't up to snuff?
303
00:13:58,241 --> 00:13:59,655
Prove it.
304
00:13:59,758 --> 00:14:01,344
All right.
305
00:14:01,448 --> 00:14:02,896
All right, then.
306
00:14:03,896 --> 00:14:06,448
Let's do the chorus of
"Let's Get Closer."
307
00:14:06,449 --> 00:14:07,550
Oh, okay.
308
00:14:07,551 --> 00:14:09,103
Tracy, give us the notes.
309
00:14:09,206 --> 00:14:10,689
Okay.
310
00:14:10,793 --> 00:14:13,758
? Babe, babe, babe?
311
00:14:13,862 --> 00:14:15,793
Three, four.
312
00:14:15,896 --> 00:14:18,931
[harmonizing]:
? Baby, let's get closer?
313
00:14:19,034 --> 00:14:21,586
? Closer to me?
314
00:14:21,689 --> 00:14:26,206
? Live out our fantasy?
315
00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:31,172
? No need to keep
dreaming and wishing, hoping?
316
00:14:31,275 --> 00:14:32,827
? Baby?
317
00:14:32,828 --> 00:14:34,102
[voice breaks]:
? Let's get closer.?
318
00:14:34,103 --> 00:14:35,310
[clears throat]
319
00:14:35,413 --> 00:14:36,803
[voice cracks]:
? Close-?
320
00:14:38,103 --> 00:14:39,965
-You see?
-TRACY: Well...
321
00:14:40,068 --> 00:14:42,000
Chile, you ain't
nowhere near ready.
322
00:14:42,103 --> 00:14:44,103
[laughter]
323
00:14:45,965 --> 00:14:47,103
MARTIN:
It's tragic.
324
00:14:48,103 --> 00:14:52,655
Lia went from being
a well-respected trauma surgeon,
325
00:14:52,758 --> 00:14:55,896
head of a hospital, to a
criminal locked away in a cage.
326
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,241
She seemed so strong to me.
327
00:14:59,586 --> 00:15:01,551
At least after the arrest.
328
00:15:01,655 --> 00:15:02,758
And since then?
329
00:15:03,758 --> 00:15:05,862
In retrospect, sad, I guess.
330
00:15:05,965 --> 00:15:10,689
I can see how falling so far
down for a person can make them
331
00:15:10,793 --> 00:15:14,551
desperate enough to want to take
matters into their own hands.
332
00:15:14,655 --> 00:15:17,137
But what if she didn't, though?
333
00:15:18,137 --> 00:15:20,172
She didn't what?
334
00:15:22,137 --> 00:15:24,310
Take matters into her own hands.
335
00:15:25,482 --> 00:15:28,379
You don't think
Lia's death was a suicide.
336
00:15:35,620 --> 00:15:37,370
You'll be back to normal
in no time.
337
00:15:37,448 --> 00:15:39,344
What she said. Ugh.
338
00:15:39,448 --> 00:15:42,379
Cancer- and the treatment
it takes to get rid of it-
339
00:15:42,482 --> 00:15:44,517
takes a toll on the... the body,
340
00:15:44,620 --> 00:15:46,689
the mind, the spirit
and the voice.
341
00:15:46,793 --> 00:15:48,724
-Mm-hmm.
-I am making some progress,
342
00:15:48,827 --> 00:15:51,034
but I'm not where
I want to be, not yet.
343
00:15:51,035 --> 00:15:52,481
TRACY:
Well, when you're back to normal,
344
00:15:52,482 --> 00:15:55,413
you'll be belting out the hits
better than ever.
345
00:15:55,517 --> 00:15:57,793
Speaking of hits,
346
00:15:57,794 --> 00:15:59,550
before you and Vernon head
to dinner,
347
00:15:59,551 --> 00:16:02,620
we need to discuss the EP and
348
00:16:02,724 --> 00:16:07,137
our plan to rerecord the tracks
with Barbara's voice.
349
00:16:07,138 --> 00:16:08,792
Great. What are we talking?
Timeline?
350
00:16:08,793 --> 00:16:10,344
Reworking the arrangements?
351
00:16:10,448 --> 00:16:13,655
When Sharon and I talked
to Devon Winters recently, um,
352
00:16:13,656 --> 00:16:15,205
he brought up a slight problem.
353
00:16:15,206 --> 00:16:16,586
Which is?
354
00:16:16,689 --> 00:16:19,137
You're not gonna like this,
but...
355
00:16:19,241 --> 00:16:22,862
Devon said we need permission
from Barbara's heir
356
00:16:22,965 --> 00:16:24,344
to use her voice,
357
00:16:24,448 --> 00:16:26,517
which means we need you
358
00:16:26,620 --> 00:16:29,965
to get that hot mess Leslie
to play ball.
359
00:16:31,137 --> 00:16:32,620
As awful as it sounds,
360
00:16:32,724 --> 00:16:35,068
I really hope
that Lia took her own life.
361
00:16:35,172 --> 00:16:36,689
[breathes deeply]
362
00:16:36,793 --> 00:16:38,379
Because if she didn't...
363
00:16:39,379 --> 00:16:42,172
Finish it.
Tell me what you're thinking.
364
00:16:43,206 --> 00:16:44,724
If Jacob's theory is right
365
00:16:44,827 --> 00:16:47,034
and the Impaler was
tying up loose ends...
366
00:16:47,537 --> 00:16:49,619
Go on.
367
00:16:49,620 --> 00:16:51,379
Then it was me.
368
00:16:51,482 --> 00:16:56,586
It was me visiting Lia
that had her murdered in prison.
369
00:16:56,689 --> 00:16:57,965
I'm such an idiot.
370
00:16:58,068 --> 00:17:01,310
Every day, I walk past
your dad's plaque at the clinic.
371
00:17:01,413 --> 00:17:04,068
Don't be ridiculous.
You had no way of knowing.
372
00:17:04,069 --> 00:17:05,618
I should have
tuned into the fact
373
00:17:05,619 --> 00:17:07,896
that it's been a year
since he left you.
374
00:17:07,897 --> 00:17:10,447
Why would you commit
the scribblings
375
00:17:10,448 --> 00:17:11,896
on a plaque to memory?
376
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,560
Besides, anyone who knew my dad
377
00:17:13,619 --> 00:17:15,549
has already moved on
with their lives.
378
00:17:15,619 --> 00:17:18,137
He's just
a distant memory for them.
379
00:17:18,241 --> 00:17:19,310
Just not for me.
380
00:17:19,413 --> 00:17:21,517
Never for me.
381
00:17:21,619 --> 00:17:24,896
They say the first year
is the hardest, and that's BS.
382
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,896
Every year is hard,
especially anniversaries.
383
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,827
This time last year,
people were inundating my family
384
00:17:30,931 --> 00:17:32,965
with emails and text messages
385
00:17:32,966 --> 00:17:35,757
and people stopping me, Donnell
and my mom on the street
386
00:17:35,758 --> 00:17:38,343
to tell us how much of an impact
he had on their lives.
387
00:17:38,344 --> 00:17:39,655
Wow.
388
00:17:39,758 --> 00:17:42,724
They talked about how
he saved their family member,
389
00:17:42,827 --> 00:17:45,551
gave them
their quality of life back.
390
00:17:45,655 --> 00:17:47,827
Where are all of
those people now, Noah?
391
00:17:53,793 --> 00:17:56,803
Sometimes it feels like I'm
the only one still mourning him.
392
00:17:57,517 --> 00:18:00,206
Just 'cause it feels that way
doesn't mean it's true.
393
00:18:00,310 --> 00:18:03,000
Except it feels like
my mom has already moved on.
394
00:18:05,724 --> 00:18:07,413
And since she's on her way here,
395
00:18:07,414 --> 00:18:09,550
I shouldn't let myself
get all worked up.
396
00:18:09,551 --> 00:18:11,206
[breathes deeply]
397
00:18:11,310 --> 00:18:12,448
Thanks for listening.
398
00:18:12,551 --> 00:18:15,724
Hey, I'm always gonna be here
for you, okay?
399
00:18:15,725 --> 00:18:18,412
If you change your mind about
Jazz Fest, you let me know.
400
00:18:18,413 --> 00:18:20,136
I'll hold on
to the tickets, okay?
401
00:18:20,137 --> 00:18:22,127
Mm, that's sweet,
but don't count on it.
402
00:18:23,310 --> 00:18:24,931
All right. Bye.
403
00:18:27,275 --> 00:18:28,862
DEANNA:
Noah?
404
00:18:28,965 --> 00:18:30,827
Will you wait here with me?
405
00:18:30,931 --> 00:18:31,981
Yeah.
406
00:18:32,034 --> 00:18:34,206
Of course.
407
00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:37,068
I just...
I don't want to be alone.
408
00:18:38,068 --> 00:18:40,068
[phone buzzing]
409
00:18:40,778 --> 00:18:42,826
Boss.
410
00:18:42,827 --> 00:18:44,344
Where are you?
411
00:18:44,448 --> 00:18:45,586
At a bar.
412
00:18:45,689 --> 00:18:48,137
Trying to drown these feelings.
413
00:18:49,137 --> 00:18:51,827
Thinking about
my best friend who's gone.
414
00:18:51,931 --> 00:18:54,517
[chuckles, sniffles]
415
00:18:54,620 --> 00:18:56,448
He ain't here no more.
416
00:18:56,551 --> 00:18:58,620
All right,
have another drink on me,
417
00:18:58,724 --> 00:19:01,172
then get over here.
418
00:19:01,275 --> 00:19:02,620
[sighs]
419
00:19:07,931 --> 00:19:09,137
Hit me again.
420
00:19:10,620 --> 00:19:12,413
[Leslie sighs]
421
00:19:12,517 --> 00:19:16,655
Well, someone seems pleased
with herself.
422
00:19:16,758 --> 00:19:19,551
Never underestimate
your mama's way with...
423
00:19:19,552 --> 00:19:20,999
[inhales sharply, clears throat]
424
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,033
...words.
425
00:19:22,034 --> 00:19:24,000
-Mama!
-LESLIE: What?
426
00:19:24,103 --> 00:19:26,517
-EVA: Sorry.
-LESLIE: Sorry for what, girl?
427
00:19:26,518 --> 00:19:28,585
Listen, there is
nothing wrong with using
428
00:19:28,586 --> 00:19:30,862
your womanly wiles
every now and again.
429
00:19:30,965 --> 00:19:34,655
Okay, well, you are wildin' out
with your wiles a bit much.
430
00:19:34,758 --> 00:19:37,206
Well, you got to use
what you got, baby girl.
431
00:19:37,310 --> 00:19:43,034
And your mama had Lionel ready
to sop me up with a biscuit.
432
00:19:43,137 --> 00:19:44,275
Ugh!
433
00:19:44,276 --> 00:19:45,723
-[laughing, coughing]
-Ugh.
434
00:19:45,724 --> 00:19:48,171
I wonder what Marcel would
have to say about that.
435
00:19:48,172 --> 00:19:49,310
Who?
436
00:19:49,413 --> 00:19:52,241
Look, what Marcel don't know
can't hurt me.
437
00:19:53,275 --> 00:19:55,068
Shouldn't it be
"won't hurt him"?
438
00:19:55,172 --> 00:19:56,241
Hush, chile.
439
00:19:56,242 --> 00:19:57,861
All right?
Ain't nobody thinking about him.
440
00:19:57,862 --> 00:20:01,103
Okay? Now, what are we
gonna have for dessert?
441
00:20:01,206 --> 00:20:03,655
Hmm? Some tiramisu?
Cheesecake? What?
442
00:20:03,758 --> 00:20:05,689
Uh... you know what?
443
00:20:05,793 --> 00:20:08,000
I-I... I think we're gonna pass.
444
00:20:08,001 --> 00:20:10,033
Yeah, can't-can't fit
anything else up in here,
445
00:20:10,034 --> 00:20:11,241
you know what I mean?
446
00:20:11,344 --> 00:20:12,793
Yeah.
447
00:20:12,896 --> 00:20:16,275
Um, we have some dessert
of our own at home.
448
00:20:16,276 --> 00:20:18,205
-Thanks for the invite, Mama.
-LESLIE: Mm-hmm.
449
00:20:18,206 --> 00:20:19,758
You're welcome.
450
00:20:19,862 --> 00:20:21,344
Yeah. [chuckles]
451
00:20:21,448 --> 00:20:23,034
LESLIE and EVA:
Mwah.
452
00:20:23,137 --> 00:20:26,482
So, where you two running
off to so fast?
453
00:20:26,586 --> 00:20:28,000
[clears throat]
454
00:20:28,103 --> 00:20:29,896
[Leslie laughs]
455
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,689
Yas. [chuckles]
456
00:20:31,793 --> 00:20:33,172
Have fun!
457
00:20:33,275 --> 00:20:35,275
[phone buzzing]
458
00:20:36,724 --> 00:20:40,896
Well, if it isn't
Anita Mind-Her-Own-Business.
459
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,172
[sighs]
460
00:20:43,241 --> 00:20:46,655
If you are calling to try
to get me to change my mind
461
00:20:46,758 --> 00:20:50,241
about rebuilding my dream
shouse, save your breath.
462
00:20:50,344 --> 00:20:52,448
I need to see you.
463
00:20:52,551 --> 00:20:54,068
It's about your mother.
464
00:20:55,757 --> 00:21:00,792
Smitty, you are in no way
responsible for what happened
465
00:21:00,793 --> 00:21:04,275
to Lia Whitmore,
whether it was foul play or not.
466
00:21:04,379 --> 00:21:05,896
But I might be.
467
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,448
You were just doing your job.
468
00:21:07,551 --> 00:21:08,862
Precisely.
469
00:21:08,863 --> 00:21:11,481
What if the Impaler found out
that the same reporter
470
00:21:11,482 --> 00:21:14,241
who's doing stories on him
is visiting Lia in lockup?
471
00:21:14,344 --> 00:21:16,000
And it's still not your fault.
472
00:21:16,001 --> 00:21:17,999
The way that I've been
going about this story, Martin,
473
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,724
I've been so relentless.
474
00:21:19,827 --> 00:21:22,379
That very well could have
cost a woman her life.
475
00:21:22,482 --> 00:21:26,103
Look, Jacob is a smart cop,
476
00:21:26,206 --> 00:21:28,931
and you are a brilliant
investigative journalist,
477
00:21:29,034 --> 00:21:31,137
but both of you
could be wrong on this.
478
00:21:31,241 --> 00:21:33,689
It's much more likely
that Lia's overdose
479
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:35,655
was a suicide than not.
480
00:21:35,758 --> 00:21:37,379
Maybe you're right.
481
00:21:38,724 --> 00:21:42,551
Maybe I am too close to this
to have a clear perspective.
482
00:21:42,655 --> 00:21:46,793
And that's because you're
a wonderful, kind human being.
483
00:21:46,896 --> 00:21:48,379
And like you said,
484
00:21:48,482 --> 00:21:50,172
you just saw Lia.
485
00:21:51,068 --> 00:21:55,068
And finding out she's no longer
with us, it's a blow.
486
00:21:55,172 --> 00:21:56,896
[phone chimes]
487
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,275
It's Granddad.
488
00:22:01,379 --> 00:22:03,862
He and Gran got a visit
from the Articulettes,
489
00:22:03,965 --> 00:22:06,195
but they're headed back
to the country club.
490
00:22:07,034 --> 00:22:09,862
I can text them and tell them
I can't make it.
491
00:22:09,965 --> 00:22:11,379
No, no, no, it's fine.
492
00:22:11,482 --> 00:22:12,896
It's fine. Go see the grands.
493
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,896
They will understand.
494
00:22:14,897 --> 00:22:16,309
I can't leave you like this.
495
00:22:16,310 --> 00:22:17,655
I am fine.
496
00:22:18,655 --> 00:22:21,517
Really. And I could probably
use some alone time.
497
00:22:21,620 --> 00:22:23,724
Seriously, go have fun,
498
00:22:23,827 --> 00:22:25,931
and I will be here
when you get back.
499
00:22:26,034 --> 00:22:27,206
Are you sure?
500
00:22:27,310 --> 00:22:28,413
I am.
501
00:22:29,413 --> 00:22:31,413
[breathing heavily]
502
00:22:35,931 --> 00:22:38,862
Whoa, cowboy!
503
00:22:38,965 --> 00:22:40,551
[laughs]
504
00:22:40,655 --> 00:22:42,103
I just can't get enough of you.
505
00:22:42,104 --> 00:22:43,861
Okay, babe,
the feeling is mutual,
506
00:22:43,862 --> 00:22:46,482
but you promised me
slow and sexy tonight.
507
00:22:48,862 --> 00:22:50,620
[both chuckle]
508
00:22:56,275 --> 00:22:58,068
? ?
509
00:22:58,172 --> 00:22:59,517
Okay.
510
00:23:00,551 --> 00:23:03,206
That's more like it, okay?
511
00:23:03,310 --> 00:23:05,068
-Now, where were we?
-Mm.
512
00:23:05,172 --> 00:23:08,182
And if you didn't get the memo,
I'm setting the pace tonight.
513
00:23:08,241 --> 00:23:09,344
Mwah.
514
00:23:11,137 --> 00:23:12,482
[chuckles]
515
00:23:22,103 --> 00:23:24,275
Your dad...
516
00:23:24,379 --> 00:23:26,206
was so proud
of you and Donnell.
517
00:23:27,689 --> 00:23:29,758
He thought you two
hung the moon.
518
00:23:29,862 --> 00:23:33,000
I just- I miss him so much.
519
00:23:34,379 --> 00:23:35,793
Yeah, I know.
520
00:23:38,241 --> 00:23:39,931
I miss him, too.
521
00:23:42,310 --> 00:23:45,379
Mom, how can you say that
when you're with Joey?
522
00:23:48,620 --> 00:23:50,275
You all go ahead
and get settled.
523
00:23:50,379 --> 00:23:52,620
I'll, uh, wait here for Martin.
524
00:23:52,724 --> 00:23:54,448
Loins fully girded, ladies?
525
00:23:54,551 --> 00:23:56,655
Yeah. You ready for this?
526
00:23:56,758 --> 00:23:58,103
As ready as I'll ever be.
527
00:24:02,862 --> 00:24:04,586
Wow.
528
00:24:04,689 --> 00:24:07,379
Can't imagine
why you're all here.
529
00:24:07,482 --> 00:24:08,931
Let me guess.
530
00:24:09,034 --> 00:24:10,964
So your conscience
was bothering you
531
00:24:10,965 --> 00:24:13,205
because you never followed
through with that meal
532
00:24:13,206 --> 00:24:18,034
that I won fair and square with
the Articulettes at WinterFest.
533
00:24:18,137 --> 00:24:21,517
So you're here to make good
with Barbara's daughter, right?
534
00:24:21,620 --> 00:24:23,137
This is about Barbara,
535
00:24:23,138 --> 00:24:25,205
but it has nothing to do
with WinterFest
536
00:24:25,206 --> 00:24:27,000
or a guilty conscience.
537
00:24:27,103 --> 00:24:28,896
-May we sit down?
-Of course.
538
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,034
Please, do.
539
00:24:32,310 --> 00:24:33,655
So what's it all about?
540
00:24:33,758 --> 00:24:35,448
This is about business.
541
00:24:35,551 --> 00:24:39,034
Ooh, now we are speaking
my language.
542
00:24:39,137 --> 00:24:40,689
I'm all ears.
543
00:24:40,793 --> 00:24:43,862
Sharon, Tracy and I are planning
to go back into the studio
544
00:24:43,965 --> 00:24:46,586
and rerecord some of the songs
that Barbara was on.
545
00:24:46,689 --> 00:24:48,034
Okay.
546
00:24:48,137 --> 00:24:51,586
In order to use her voice,
we need permission.
547
00:24:51,689 --> 00:24:53,965
Whose permission?
548
00:24:54,068 --> 00:24:55,655
Yours.
549
00:24:58,751 --> 00:25:02,067
Hey. I'm glad
you're still up for this.
550
00:25:02,068 --> 00:25:04,413
Where's Gran?
You two already have dinner?
551
00:25:04,517 --> 00:25:05,827
Oh, not yet. No, no.
552
00:25:05,931 --> 00:25:08,758
She and the other Articulettes
are in the restaurant
553
00:25:08,862 --> 00:25:10,655
meeting with Leslie Thomas.
554
00:25:10,758 --> 00:25:13,620
[chuckles] Did she bring
her shield and force field?
555
00:25:13,724 --> 00:25:15,517
No, but, uh...
556
00:25:15,620 --> 00:25:18,206
I think
she probably should have.
557
00:25:18,310 --> 00:25:19,793
Run that back by me again.
558
00:25:19,896 --> 00:25:21,655
You heard me the first time.
559
00:25:21,758 --> 00:25:23,172
Did I really?
560
00:25:23,275 --> 00:25:26,862
Because for a minute there,
it sounded like you needed me.
561
00:25:27,896 --> 00:25:31,758
You are Barbara's daughter
and legal heir
562
00:25:31,862 --> 00:25:34,344
and have the rights
to her voice and likeness.
563
00:25:35,344 --> 00:25:37,275
Hmm.
564
00:25:37,379 --> 00:25:39,103
I do, don't I?
565
00:25:40,172 --> 00:25:42,310
Leslie, I may not know you
very well,
566
00:25:42,413 --> 00:25:44,172
or at all, for that matter...
567
00:25:44,275 --> 00:25:46,310
And whose fault is that?
568
00:25:46,413 --> 00:25:48,551
Okay, see, here we go.
This was a mistake.
569
00:25:48,655 --> 00:25:50,206
-Let's go.
-Anita, please.
570
00:25:50,310 --> 00:25:52,379
Uh, we need to deal with this
571
00:25:52,482 --> 00:25:53,689
if we want the world
572
00:25:53,793 --> 00:25:55,586
to hear Barbara's voice again.
573
00:25:55,689 --> 00:25:57,448
Now, you do want that,
don't you?
574
00:26:02,241 --> 00:26:05,965
As I was saying, Sharon and I
may not know you very well,
575
00:26:05,966 --> 00:26:07,757
but we knew
and loved your mother.
576
00:26:07,758 --> 00:26:09,688
Anita did, too,
from the day we met her.
577
00:26:09,689 --> 00:26:11,172
So how'd you all meet?
578
00:26:11,275 --> 00:26:15,827
Uh, we've actually never told
the full, real story, have we?
579
00:26:15,931 --> 00:26:17,689
TRACY:
No. The record label
580
00:26:17,793 --> 00:26:20,241
made us make up
some phony polished yarn
581
00:26:20,344 --> 00:26:23,517
about being lead vocalists
in rival church choirs
582
00:26:23,518 --> 00:26:25,964
that eventually would
come together at school.
583
00:26:25,965 --> 00:26:28,103
But the real deal
584
00:26:28,206 --> 00:26:30,724
was that me,
Sharon and Barbara
585
00:26:30,827 --> 00:26:32,172
were best friends.
586
00:26:32,275 --> 00:26:33,586
Blood sisters.
587
00:26:33,689 --> 00:26:35,413
[laughs]:
I mean, really.
588
00:26:35,517 --> 00:26:38,793
We pricked our fingers with
the thorn of a holly bush leaf,
589
00:26:38,794 --> 00:26:40,516
-rubbed them together
and everything. -TRACY: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
590
00:26:40,517 --> 00:26:43,205
And we had lived in the same
building in Cabrini-Green.
591
00:26:43,206 --> 00:26:44,886
Anita lived in another building,
592
00:26:44,965 --> 00:26:47,034
so we pretty much
grew up together.
593
00:26:47,137 --> 00:26:51,620
The four of us were really close
since we were itty-bitty.
594
00:26:51,724 --> 00:26:53,931
Yeah. Anita was
in and out for a while,
595
00:26:54,034 --> 00:26:55,896
hanging with new friends.
596
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,896
SHARON:
[scoffs] Stuck up,
597
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,172
nose in the air, way too good
for the likes of us hood rats.
598
00:27:01,173 --> 00:27:02,516
ANITA:
Oh, please. Girl, stop.
599
00:27:02,517 --> 00:27:03,689
I was a hood rat, too.
600
00:27:03,793 --> 00:27:05,241
[laughter]
601
00:27:05,344 --> 00:27:08,206
We weren't as close as
we came to be, eventually.
602
00:27:08,310 --> 00:27:11,827
Anyway, walking through
Cabrini-Green one day,
603
00:27:11,931 --> 00:27:15,000
all of a sudden
we heard somebody sangin'.
604
00:27:15,103 --> 00:27:17,931
I had the window open
while I was doing my chores.
605
00:27:18,034 --> 00:27:21,586
I was basically
the housekeeper for the family,
606
00:27:21,689 --> 00:27:24,931
and so I needed to do something
to make it fun.
607
00:27:25,034 --> 00:27:27,324
I didn't think
anybody was paying attention.
608
00:27:27,325 --> 00:27:28,999
Oh, we were paying attention,
all right.
609
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,930
And that voice sounded
real familiar.
610
00:27:30,965 --> 00:27:33,344
But we weren't surprised
when we followed
611
00:27:33,448 --> 00:27:36,038
that amazing sound
right up to Anita's apartment,
612
00:27:36,137 --> 00:27:39,137
and we knocked on that door
with a vengeance.
613
00:27:39,241 --> 00:27:41,620
-I thought it was the po-po.
-[laughter]
614
00:27:41,724 --> 00:27:45,344
But I opened the door and...
and Barbara said that she needed
615
00:27:45,448 --> 00:27:47,862
another voice to, uh,
fill out the girl group.
616
00:27:47,863 --> 00:27:50,033
Yeah, everybody was
starting groups back then,
617
00:27:50,034 --> 00:27:52,344
but we were determined
to be the best.
618
00:27:53,379 --> 00:27:55,724
Sounds like, um...
[clears throat]
619
00:27:55,827 --> 00:27:59,172
...the four of you were
very close friends at one point.
620
00:27:59,275 --> 00:28:01,172
We were sisters.
621
00:28:05,275 --> 00:28:07,448
Well, let's just say...
622
00:28:08,517 --> 00:28:10,147
...that I did
give you permission-
623
00:28:10,206 --> 00:28:11,896
and I'm not saying that I will.
624
00:28:12,896 --> 00:28:14,931
But if I did...
625
00:28:15,965 --> 00:28:17,413
...what do I get in exchange?
626
00:28:17,517 --> 00:28:18,793
[laughs]
627
00:28:18,896 --> 00:28:20,241
Here we go.
628
00:28:20,344 --> 00:28:21,827
Uh...
629
00:28:23,241 --> 00:28:25,413
You would get
630
00:28:25,517 --> 00:28:28,793
financial compensation,
of course.
631
00:28:28,896 --> 00:28:30,482
A percentage of the proceeds.
632
00:28:30,586 --> 00:28:32,551
And we'd all split it evenly.
633
00:28:34,379 --> 00:28:36,000
And what else?
634
00:28:37,724 --> 00:28:39,448
Wh-What else do you want?
635
00:28:39,551 --> 00:28:40,896
Oh, nothing much.
636
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,379
Just to be in the sound booth
during the rerecording.
637
00:28:46,482 --> 00:28:49,896
I think we can do that.
638
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,551
No problem.
639
00:28:51,655 --> 00:28:53,275
Great.
640
00:28:53,379 --> 00:28:55,448
Oh, and a producer credit,
641
00:28:55,551 --> 00:28:59,068
nice and big in the liner notes.
642
00:28:59,172 --> 00:29:01,793
Now I know
you've lost your mind.
643
00:29:03,034 --> 00:29:05,034
? ?
644
00:29:10,689 --> 00:29:11,793
Wait.
645
00:29:11,896 --> 00:29:13,034
What is it, baby?
646
00:29:15,034 --> 00:29:16,862
I just need a second.
647
00:29:16,965 --> 00:29:18,241
Okay.
648
00:29:41,896 --> 00:29:43,586
[breathing heavily]
649
00:29:43,689 --> 00:29:45,275
Mmm, don't stop.
650
00:29:46,206 --> 00:29:47,413
Like this?
651
00:29:48,724 --> 00:29:50,172
Yeah.
652
00:29:50,275 --> 00:29:51,517
Like that.
653
00:30:00,457 --> 00:30:03,654
I thought you were
coming to terms
654
00:30:03,655 --> 00:30:05,620
with my relationship with Joey.
655
00:30:05,724 --> 00:30:07,482
Some days, like today,
656
00:30:07,586 --> 00:30:09,586
it's harder to accept
that you moved on.
657
00:30:09,587 --> 00:30:11,516
You just started up
with Joey so fast
658
00:30:11,517 --> 00:30:13,379
after Dad died, Mom, it hurts.
659
00:30:13,482 --> 00:30:16,551
Sweetheart, I wish
I could take your pain away.
660
00:30:16,655 --> 00:30:19,965
But you can't, because you can't
bring back Dad.
661
00:30:20,793 --> 00:30:22,758
I wish I could.
662
00:30:22,862 --> 00:30:25,551
Maybe I should go through
what Dad left for me alone.
663
00:30:26,620 --> 00:30:29,034
No. I am here for you, baby.
664
00:30:29,137 --> 00:30:30,827
Yeah, but I don't
want you to be.
665
00:30:30,828 --> 00:30:34,585
[voice breaking]:
I'm not trying to push you away,
666
00:30:34,586 --> 00:30:36,758
but I need to do this alone.
667
00:30:37,965 --> 00:30:39,275
Are you sure?
668
00:30:41,758 --> 00:30:43,034
All right.
669
00:30:43,137 --> 00:30:45,547
Uh, if you think that
that's what's best, I will...
670
00:30:45,620 --> 00:30:47,241
I do.
671
00:31:00,793 --> 00:31:02,655
[sobs]
672
00:31:06,068 --> 00:31:07,758
My bad, boss.
673
00:31:07,862 --> 00:31:09,912
I shouldn't have
snapped on you earlier.
674
00:31:10,620 --> 00:31:11,820
Yeah, it's going around.
675
00:31:11,862 --> 00:31:14,517
Vanessa's all up
in her feelings, too.
676
00:31:14,620 --> 00:31:16,965
But she gets a break.
677
00:31:17,068 --> 00:31:18,724
You don't.
678
00:31:18,827 --> 00:31:22,000
So it's time for you
to get over it and do your job.
679
00:31:22,103 --> 00:31:23,379
I'm on it.
680
00:31:23,482 --> 00:31:25,103
I got Marco covering Heather.
681
00:31:25,206 --> 00:31:27,034
Well, this isn't
about my sister.
682
00:31:27,931 --> 00:31:29,172
I asked you to find out
683
00:31:29,275 --> 00:31:32,172
if Doug had a safe-deposit box
somewhere, remember?
684
00:31:32,275 --> 00:31:33,758
Yeah, I do.
685
00:31:33,862 --> 00:31:35,103
Well?
686
00:31:35,206 --> 00:31:36,776
I don't know
if he had one or not.
687
00:31:36,777 --> 00:31:39,102
We really didn't talk about
that sort of thing, you feel me?
688
00:31:39,103 --> 00:31:41,310
Randy... [chuckles]
689
00:31:41,413 --> 00:31:43,463
...what do I pay you for
if I can't rely on you
690
00:31:43,482 --> 00:31:45,241
to complete a simple task?
691
00:31:47,551 --> 00:31:49,896
Doug was my best friend, boss.
692
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,034
Which means you have access.
693
00:31:52,137 --> 00:31:54,137
To offer services.
694
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,310
You could ask Vanessa
if she needs any help
695
00:31:59,413 --> 00:32:01,620
closing down an account
696
00:32:01,724 --> 00:32:04,034
or a safe-deposit box
at the bank.
697
00:32:05,172 --> 00:32:06,222
That's personal.
698
00:32:06,310 --> 00:32:08,172
Yes, it is.
699
00:32:09,206 --> 00:32:11,676
Which means it would raise
all sorts of red flags
700
00:32:11,724 --> 00:32:13,034
if I were to do it.
701
00:32:13,137 --> 00:32:15,896
But with you, it's expected.
702
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,068
Simple.
703
00:32:17,172 --> 00:32:20,275
With all due respect, boss,
704
00:32:20,379 --> 00:32:23,793
you asking me to capitalize
on my personal relationships?
705
00:32:23,794 --> 00:32:25,378
Yeah, I don't think that's fair.
706
00:32:25,379 --> 00:32:27,068
You want fair?
707
00:32:27,172 --> 00:32:29,102
You're playing
the wrong game, Randy.
708
00:32:30,517 --> 00:32:31,724
All right.
709
00:32:33,068 --> 00:32:35,172
I'm gonna give you a break.
710
00:32:35,275 --> 00:32:38,793
You be all in your feelings
tonight, but tomorrow morning,
711
00:32:38,896 --> 00:32:41,586
I want you back here
and ready to go to work.
712
00:32:45,726 --> 00:32:49,343
What do you say
we hit the squash court
713
00:32:49,344 --> 00:32:50,723
and give Anita and the others
714
00:32:50,724 --> 00:32:53,172
a little time
to handle their business?
715
00:32:53,275 --> 00:32:56,310
Granddad, would you mind
if we take a rain check?
716
00:32:57,344 --> 00:32:58,784
Still worried about Smitty?
717
00:32:58,827 --> 00:33:00,620
You know me too well.
718
00:33:00,724 --> 00:33:02,655
Well, that can happen
when you used to
719
00:33:02,758 --> 00:33:04,517
change a person's diapers.
720
00:33:04,620 --> 00:33:06,068
[both laugh]
721
00:33:06,172 --> 00:33:08,413
Go on home, son.
Take care of your husband.
722
00:33:08,517 --> 00:33:10,387
-Thanks for understanding.
-Mm-hmm.
723
00:33:15,206 --> 00:33:16,551
Ah.
724
00:33:16,655 --> 00:33:19,862
Well, I take it
that, uh, your discussion
725
00:33:19,965 --> 00:33:21,724
reached a positive outcome?
726
00:33:21,827 --> 00:33:23,965
Oh, well, that depends
on your wife.
727
00:33:24,068 --> 00:33:25,517
Do me a favor.
728
00:33:25,620 --> 00:33:29,310
Tell Anita not to take too long
to consider my proposal.
729
00:33:30,344 --> 00:33:33,000
It won't stay on the table.
730
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,689
-Well, that went well.
-I think so.
731
00:33:38,793 --> 00:33:40,827
-Ladies.
-Oh, where's Martin?
732
00:33:40,931 --> 00:33:42,000
Did he leave?
733
00:33:42,103 --> 00:33:45,517
I sent him home
to see about his husband.
734
00:33:45,620 --> 00:33:48,793
And of course,
I ran into Miss Leslie.
735
00:33:48,896 --> 00:33:51,793
She mentioned something
about a proposal on the table.
736
00:33:51,896 --> 00:33:53,551
Do I even want to know?
737
00:33:53,655 --> 00:33:56,793
She's holding the rights
to Barbara's voice hostage.
738
00:33:57,793 --> 00:33:59,241
And what is she asking for?
739
00:33:59,344 --> 00:34:02,482
To be present in the studio
for the rerecording.
740
00:34:02,586 --> 00:34:04,241
And a producer credit.
741
00:34:04,344 --> 00:34:06,068
[Vernon scoffs softly]
742
00:34:06,172 --> 00:34:07,758
What say you, my love?
743
00:34:07,862 --> 00:34:08,965
What say I?
744
00:34:09,068 --> 00:34:11,034
I say hell no.
745
00:34:11,035 --> 00:34:13,033
What's Leslie know
about producing?
746
00:34:13,034 --> 00:34:15,584
Anita, it isn't unheard of
for people to get credit
747
00:34:15,585 --> 00:34:17,309
for something
they aren't well-versed in.
748
00:34:17,310 --> 00:34:19,724
Sis, I'm afraid
your ginormous pride
749
00:34:19,725 --> 00:34:21,171
is gonna have to take
a back seat,
750
00:34:21,172 --> 00:34:24,585
because we can't do anything
without Barbara's voice.
751
00:34:24,688 --> 00:34:26,862
Well, fine.
752
00:34:26,863 --> 00:34:29,412
But if you two force me
to negotiate with that woman,
753
00:34:29,413 --> 00:34:31,000
it will not turn out well.
754
00:34:31,103 --> 00:34:32,931
What choice do we have?
755
00:34:33,034 --> 00:34:34,862
Fortunately...
756
00:34:34,965 --> 00:34:37,896
I am married
to the consummate diplomat.
757
00:34:42,034 --> 00:34:43,241
EVA:
Mmm.
758
00:34:43,344 --> 00:34:44,896
Yummy.
759
00:34:44,897 --> 00:34:48,584
-IZAIAH: Mmm. Well, that's good.
-[chuckles]
760
00:34:48,585 --> 00:34:50,206
It almost tastes as good as you.
761
00:34:50,310 --> 00:34:51,793
-Mmm.
-[chuckles]
762
00:34:51,896 --> 00:34:53,068
This is way better than
763
00:34:53,069 --> 00:34:55,205
the chocolate banana bread
pudding at the club.
764
00:34:55,206 --> 00:34:56,310
Mm-hmm.
765
00:34:56,413 --> 00:34:57,862
Ah, that's facts.
766
00:34:57,965 --> 00:34:59,724
Yeah, no dress code here.
767
00:34:59,827 --> 00:35:01,689
Come as you are.
768
00:35:01,793 --> 00:35:03,137
Again?
769
00:35:05,965 --> 00:35:08,206
[both laughing]
770
00:35:08,310 --> 00:35:09,482
[both moan]
771
00:35:09,586 --> 00:35:10,931
How tough was it?
772
00:35:11,034 --> 00:35:12,758
Impossible.
773
00:35:12,862 --> 00:35:16,103
I just hate to see
Deanna still hurting so much.
774
00:35:16,206 --> 00:35:18,103
Uh, well, give her time.
775
00:35:18,104 --> 00:35:20,171
She deserves the space
to feel what she feels.
776
00:35:20,172 --> 00:35:22,379
No, I thought she was
coming out of the dark.
777
00:35:22,482 --> 00:35:24,206
Sh-She has
this new guy she likes.
778
00:35:24,310 --> 00:35:26,172
He was there with her
when I arrived.
779
00:35:26,275 --> 00:35:27,862
She seemed happier.
780
00:35:27,965 --> 00:35:30,000
-Ebbs and flows, Vanessa.
-[murmurs]
781
00:35:30,103 --> 00:35:31,931
There's no timeline on grief.
782
00:35:31,932 --> 00:35:35,516
I guess I just have to accept
that she hasn't moved on
783
00:35:35,517 --> 00:35:37,379
when all I want is
to see her thrive.
784
00:35:38,206 --> 00:35:40,551
-She'll come around. You'll see.
-Mm-mm.
785
00:35:40,655 --> 00:35:42,827
Not if she's...
786
00:35:42,931 --> 00:35:44,827
It just- it feels like
she's gonna be
787
00:35:44,931 --> 00:35:46,344
stuck in place forever.
788
00:35:50,965 --> 00:35:53,379
? ?
789
00:36:02,413 --> 00:36:03,965
DOUG:
Go ahead.
790
00:36:04,068 --> 00:36:05,517
Open it.
791
00:36:05,620 --> 00:36:06,793
What's in there?
792
00:36:06,896 --> 00:36:08,586
It's for you.
793
00:36:10,413 --> 00:36:12,241
But, Dad, I can't.
794
00:36:13,724 --> 00:36:15,206
Don't worry.
795
00:36:15,310 --> 00:36:17,275
I'm right here.
