00:00:12,137 --> 00:00:14,222
- Pull the string and I'll
5
00:00:14,223 --> 00:00:15,431
Wink at you
6
00:00:15,432 --> 00:00:17,642
- You're tuned to Bludso on the radio.
7
00:00:17,643 --> 00:00:21,354
Stage one of my dramatic transformation
is almost complete.
8
00:00:21,355 --> 00:00:24,398
- Oh, my God. You're such a child.
9
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:28,486
- Well, I'm an actual child, so...
10
00:00:28,487 --> 00:00:30,572
How is that an insult?
11
00:00:33,534 --> 00:00:35,285
- It just means it's working.
12
00:00:37,746 --> 00:00:39,205
Girls, we're home!
13
00:00:39,206 --> 00:00:42,751
Listeners, the music
will be right back after a quick break.
14
00:00:46,338 --> 00:00:49,299
Fine, but don't get mad when
you're just as nappy as you ever were.
15
00:00:53,262 --> 00:00:56,556
- Come on, Linda!
- I'm right here!
16
00:01:00,978 --> 00:01:04,188
- Ow! Linda!
17
00:01:04,189 --> 00:01:06,065
Oh! Aah!
18
00:01:06,066 --> 00:01:09,360
Calm down.
I'm putting the neutralizer in now.
19
00:01:09,361 --> 00:01:11,654
Hurry up. It really hurts!
20
00:01:11,655 --> 00:01:13,030
Hold on.
21
00:01:14,408 --> 00:01:16,909
Anna, you've been with
our family for a year.
22
00:01:16,910 --> 00:01:18,870
This is way past due.
23
00:01:18,871 --> 00:01:21,789
You might could pass
as my sister, after all.
24
00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:23,624
Should it still burn?
25
00:01:23,625 --> 00:01:25,209
Linda!
26
00:01:25,210 --> 00:01:27,128
Hey, what... What's going on up there?
27
00:01:27,129 --> 00:01:28,797
That hurts.
28
00:01:29,173 --> 00:01:30,173
Linda?
29
00:01:30,174 --> 00:01:32,426
- I did what the box told me.
30
00:01:34,261 --> 00:01:36,888
I did what the box told me.
31
00:01:36,889 --> 00:01:38,265
Girls!
32
00:01:39,474 --> 00:01:40,808
- I'm sorry.
33
00:01:40,809 --> 00:01:42,476
I didn't mean to!
34
00:01:42,477 --> 00:01:43,936
- Hey, what's going on up there?
- It was the box!
35
00:01:43,937 --> 00:01:46,272
I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do it!
36
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:51,320
ominous music playing
37
00:02:57,094 --> 00:02:58,262
- Ow.
38
00:03:13,986 --> 00:03:17,406
The call was for
a Downtown Julie Brown type.
39
00:03:17,948 --> 00:03:21,117
Someone worldly, articulate,
40
00:03:21,118 --> 00:03:23,495
knowledgeable, charismatic?
41
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:26,664
Black?
42
00:03:28,917 --> 00:03:32,253
Assistant at Culture for four years.
43
00:03:32,254 --> 00:03:34,338
- Uh-huh.
- They never gave you a shot?
44
00:03:34,339 --> 00:03:36,633
- Only so many spots in Culture.
45
00:03:37,593 --> 00:03:43,014
- Um, we just need a little bit more
rock than urban here.
46
00:03:43,015 --> 00:03:44,515
- Perfect.
47
00:03:44,516 --> 00:03:48,144
I appeal to a global audience,
you know?
48
00:03:48,145 --> 00:03:53,024
"It's Anna Bludso, coming at you
with the hottest of the hot."
49
00:03:53,025 --> 00:03:54,276
- Thank you so much.
50
00:04:02,618 --> 00:04:05,329
ominous music playing
51
00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:26,599
RMV. Rock Music Video.
52
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,353
The only place that will rock you.
You know you want it.
53
00:04:30,354 --> 00:04:33,272
"She's Got the Look"
by Roxette playing over TVs
54
00:04:33,273 --> 00:04:36,442
- She's got the look,
She's got the look
55
00:04:37,861 --> 00:04:40,238
- Oh!
- Hey. All right.
56
00:04:40,239 --> 00:04:42,365
- make a brown-eyed girl turn blue
57
00:04:42,366 --> 00:04:44,200
She doesn't work here,
does she?
58
00:04:44,201 --> 00:04:48,538
- When everything I'll ever do,
I'll do for you
59
00:04:48,539 --> 00:04:51,624
And I go la, la, la, la, la
60
00:04:56,713 --> 00:04:59,216
From the people
that brought you RMV,
61
00:04:59,925 --> 00:05:02,093
we are Culture.
62
00:05:02,094 --> 00:05:04,762
Featuring Brook-Lynne, Sista Soul,
63
00:05:04,763 --> 00:05:06,556
and Julius.
64
00:05:06,557 --> 00:05:09,643
Culture. We're coming on for you.
65
00:05:22,656 --> 00:05:24,782
Damn it.
66
00:05:24,783 --> 00:05:26,200
All right, big board meeting.
67
00:05:26,201 --> 00:05:27,994
You're all called here.
You know something's up.
68
00:05:27,995 --> 00:05:30,538
And I'm not gonna bullshit you.
Do you know what Culture is
69
00:05:30,539 --> 00:05:32,665
to the suits downstairs?
70
00:05:32,666 --> 00:05:34,126
It's a liability.
71
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,547
It's in place only so that
Yetnikoff at CBS and Clive Davis at Arista
72
00:05:39,548 --> 00:05:43,510
don't sue RMV's asses
for not playing "that black disco shit."
73
00:05:44,052 --> 00:05:45,470
Their words.
74
00:05:46,346 --> 00:05:48,014
I'd love to tell you the board put me here
75
00:05:48,015 --> 00:05:49,348
because they think I'm
some kind of wunderkind,
76
00:05:49,349 --> 00:05:52,059
but the truth is, anytime they see
an executive with a hairline
77
00:05:52,060 --> 00:05:54,270
and a working dick, they think
he's not qualified to do shit,
78
00:05:54,271 --> 00:05:56,023
except babysit a loss leader.
79
00:05:58,066 --> 00:05:59,693
But let me tell you something.
80
00:06:00,944 --> 00:06:02,863
This is exactly where I want to be.
81
00:06:03,739 --> 00:06:07,575
I spent my entire summer at the Apollo,
kicking it with Teddy Riley,
82
00:06:07,576 --> 00:06:09,535
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.
83
00:06:09,536 --> 00:06:13,749
Hip hop? This New Jack shit?
84
00:06:15,250 --> 00:06:16,709
It's the future.
85
00:06:16,710 --> 00:06:17,960
And not just black music.
86
00:06:17,961 --> 00:06:19,921
It's the future of the
entire music industry.
87
00:06:19,922 --> 00:06:21,422
And we have a chance to own it.
88
00:06:21,423 --> 00:06:23,674
Look at Julius' whack-ass fade.
89
00:06:23,675 --> 00:06:25,635
- He's cute.
- Is not.
90
00:06:25,636 --> 00:06:28,888
- Nigga think he Eddie Murphy.
- Shut up!
91
00:06:28,889 --> 00:06:31,140
- She ain't wrong.
- Which is why Edna
92
00:06:31,141 --> 00:06:33,726
has decided to step down
as EVP of programming.
93
00:06:33,727 --> 00:06:35,603
- Wait, what?
- Edna!
94
00:06:35,604 --> 00:06:39,899
- Hell, no.
- Culture needs to grow in a direction
I simply cannot take it.
95
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:43,194
It's okay. It's totally admirable.
- She said she was gonna
give me a raise.
96
00:06:43,195 --> 00:06:45,738
- Well, that's out.
- I begged her to stay.
97
00:06:45,739 --> 00:06:48,908
But I'm confident
we're in excellent hands.
98
00:06:48,909 --> 00:06:51,327
Allow me to introduce your new EVP:
99
00:06:51,328 --> 00:06:53,496
the legendary Zora Choice.
100
00:06:53,497 --> 00:06:57,250
- Thank you, Grant.
Now, I know what you're all thinking.
101
00:06:57,251 --> 00:06:59,961
They say I'm the world's first
black supermodel.
102
00:06:59,962 --> 00:07:01,671
- Of course it's a light-skinned bitch.
103
00:07:01,672 --> 00:07:02,797
And what does a...
104
00:07:02,798 --> 00:07:04,966
An aging supermodel
know about running a channel?
105
00:07:04,967 --> 00:07:09,220
Well, I've been quietly inching my way
toward this goal for quite some time now.
106
00:07:09,221 --> 00:07:13,891
And rest assured, I will be consulting
the brilliant Edna Knight
107
00:07:13,892 --> 00:07:15,893
as long as she'll have me.
- Absolutely.
108
00:07:15,894 --> 00:07:17,937
Programming will be suspended
109
00:07:17,938 --> 00:07:20,898
for a few weeks while we are retooling.
110
00:07:20,899 --> 00:07:23,943
I, I know it seems sudden,
but we simply must.
111
00:07:23,944 --> 00:07:28,197
If Cult, and that's what we're calling it,
by the way,
112
00:07:28,198 --> 00:07:32,243
if Cult is going to be the authority
on pop culture in the '90s,
113
00:07:32,244 --> 00:07:34,954
well, we simply must be sure
of its direction.
114
00:07:34,955 --> 00:07:38,416
My assistant Rosalyn will be
setting up meetings with all of you,
115
00:07:38,417 --> 00:07:39,834
just to get to know you,
116
00:07:39,835 --> 00:07:43,045
and find out what skills
you will bring to Cult.
117
00:07:43,046 --> 00:07:45,631
- "The Block" continues to do
well enough in the ratings.
118
00:07:45,632 --> 00:07:50,636
Especially with our very exciting and
contractually obligated Sandra premiere.
119
00:07:50,637 --> 00:07:53,222
That program will continue
as scheduled.
120
00:07:53,223 --> 00:07:57,018
If this succeeds,
we change popular culture.
121
00:07:57,019 --> 00:07:58,728
- Y'all, we are doomed.
122
00:07:58,729 --> 00:08:00,271
Come on, there's gotta be
something we can do.
123
00:08:00,272 --> 00:08:01,689
Edna, this is your channel.
124
00:08:01,690 --> 00:08:04,567
- Look, I just bought a condo, okay?
I'm not going back to radio.
125
00:08:04,568 --> 00:08:07,403
- Edna, she brought her own assistant!
126
00:08:07,404 --> 00:08:10,698
- Okay, look, I'm gonna start
my own production company
127
00:08:10,699 --> 00:08:13,409
that's programming for us, by us.
128
00:08:13,410 --> 00:08:15,661
Now, it's gonna take
a few months to get started,
129
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:18,539
but I will be calling you all, okay?
130
00:08:18,540 --> 00:08:21,502
And then maybe we can
work for somebody other than them.
131
00:08:24,004 --> 00:08:26,255
- Uh, I'll be waiting by the phone.
132
00:08:26,256 --> 00:08:29,509
It's your man Julius,
and welcome to The Block,
133
00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:33,971
where we got a bangin' exclusive
from the princess of pop soul.
134
00:08:33,972 --> 00:08:36,015
It's already on the Billboard top 10,
135
00:08:36,016 --> 00:08:39,310
and has its sights on number one.
- Excuse me, excuse me. Thank you.
136
00:08:39,311 --> 00:08:41,521
Thank you so... I'm so sorry I'm late,
guys. Beauty takes time.
137
00:08:41,522 --> 00:08:43,481
Anna better not be
still hooking up with him.
138
00:08:43,482 --> 00:08:45,233
You know Anna
don't live in the real world.
139
00:08:45,234 --> 00:08:47,109
- Oh, hey, Anna.
- Thanks for proofing, girl.
140
00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:50,071
- No problem.
- Four, three, two,
141
00:08:50,072 --> 00:08:51,697
Hey, it's your man, Julius,
142
00:08:51,698 --> 00:08:53,533
and welcome to The Block,
143
00:08:53,534 --> 00:08:56,410
where we got a bangin' exclusive
from the princess of pop soul...
144
00:08:56,411 --> 00:08:57,954
"I Get It!"
145
00:08:57,955 --> 00:08:59,206
I said...
146
00:08:59,581 --> 00:09:01,333
"I Get It" playing
147
00:09:05,838 --> 00:09:07,589
- I can shake it to this
148
00:09:07,965 --> 00:09:09,549
Oh, my God
149
00:09:09,550 --> 00:09:10,843
Let's go
150
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,389
I remember the time,
you and I, we fell in love
151
00:09:16,390 --> 00:09:18,099
Nearly lost my mind
152
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:22,061
Every time I felt your touch
153
00:09:22,062 --> 00:09:24,981
When I went to get you alone...
154
00:09:24,982 --> 00:09:26,899
- Is that a new nose?
155
00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:28,359
- Contouring.
156
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,445
And contacts, maybe?
157
00:09:31,572 --> 00:09:35,200
- You don't want my love,
I get it
158
00:09:35,784 --> 00:09:38,411
I'm not the one
that you're thinking of
159
00:09:38,412 --> 00:09:40,371
- Oh, that thing must be glued down.
160
00:09:40,372 --> 00:09:42,623
Or a really good relaxer, maybe.
161
00:09:42,624 --> 00:09:45,209
- Mm-mm, my shit don't move like that,
and I'm part Cherokee.
162
00:09:45,210 --> 00:09:47,211
- It's a weave, I think.
163
00:09:47,212 --> 00:09:50,298
- Yeah, my girl Tanitra
just started doing those.
164
00:09:50,299 --> 00:09:52,633
Take whatever hair you want
and sew it into your real hair.
165
00:09:52,634 --> 00:09:55,678
- Ugh, that sounds painful.
And expensive.
166
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,055
- It actually sounds like a good idea.
167
00:09:58,056 --> 00:10:00,600
- Guess it's better than
a creamy crack, right?
168
00:10:00,601 --> 00:10:03,144
Of course,
I know what's better than either.
169
00:10:03,145 --> 00:10:06,355
- Okay, Sojourner Truth.
Ain't nobody got time for all that upkeep.
170
00:10:06,356 --> 00:10:09,067
- Really, dookie braids?
- It didn't take that long.
171
00:10:11,236 --> 00:10:13,654
- Night
- Oh
172
00:10:13,655 --> 00:10:15,615
- What's happening to me?
173
00:10:15,616 --> 00:10:17,742
- One night
- Oh, yeah
174
00:10:17,743 --> 00:10:20,369
- It happened suddenly
- Happened suddenly
175
00:10:20,370 --> 00:10:22,121
- One night
176
00:10:22,122 --> 00:10:24,916
What's happening to me?
177
00:10:24,917 --> 00:10:26,542
I get it
178
00:10:26,543 --> 00:10:28,961
- You better give it to him.
- You will want my love, my love
179
00:10:28,962 --> 00:10:30,755
Get it
180
00:10:30,756 --> 00:10:33,258
I'll be the one
that you're thinking of
181
00:10:33,717 --> 00:10:35,968
Hell, I think I need me a cigarette.
182
00:10:35,969 --> 00:10:37,303
I think I need a weave.
183
00:10:37,304 --> 00:10:38,930
How anyone can sew someone else's
184
00:10:38,931 --> 00:10:40,890
dead energy into their head is beyond me.
185
00:10:40,891 --> 00:10:43,434
You see shorty's hair?
186
00:10:43,435 --> 00:10:45,269
I get it, okay?
187
00:10:45,270 --> 00:10:47,898
Aah.
188
00:10:56,615 --> 00:10:57,908
Ahem.
189
00:10:58,992 --> 00:11:01,036
Crazy day.
- Humph.
190
00:11:04,331 --> 00:11:08,376
So, what are you doing tonight?
191
00:11:08,377 --> 00:11:10,461
- You know,
192
00:11:10,462 --> 00:11:13,257
I've been seeing someone.
193
00:11:16,093 --> 00:11:17,803
You heard me. Hmm?
194
00:11:18,428 --> 00:11:22,390
- Like, a therapist, or...
195
00:11:22,391 --> 00:11:26,060
- I know I've crossed some lines.
196
00:11:26,061 --> 00:11:28,896
Turned us into something
we should have never been.
197
00:11:28,897 --> 00:11:31,649
- We've been crossing a line for years.
198
00:11:31,650 --> 00:11:32,776
- Fresh!
199
00:11:34,027 --> 00:11:36,697
You know, I'll take
full responsibility for it.
200
00:11:37,739 --> 00:11:40,617
- We crossed the line this afternoon
in your dressing room!
201
00:11:41,994 --> 00:11:43,787
- But you pushed for that, though.
202
00:11:44,371 --> 00:11:45,581
I am sorry.
203
00:11:46,331 --> 00:11:49,585
It's, it's been killing me, though.
All right?
204
00:11:50,002 --> 00:11:51,170
- Has it?
205
00:11:56,884 --> 00:11:59,845
Anna! We need you now!
206
00:12:01,889 --> 00:12:03,222
- Coming!
207
00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:07,351
Jesus.
208
00:12:12,149 --> 00:12:13,900
- Anna, you all right, girl?
209
00:12:13,901 --> 00:12:15,902
- Yeah, just...
210
00:12:15,903 --> 00:12:19,030
these cramps, and this,
this damned machine.
211
00:12:19,031 --> 00:12:20,865
- Oh, just ask.
212
00:12:20,866 --> 00:12:23,160
You know we are all synced up in here.
213
00:12:26,538 --> 00:12:27,706
Hey.
214
00:12:28,749 --> 00:12:30,125
You'll be all right.
215
00:12:31,210 --> 00:12:32,793
Why would they get rid of you?
216
00:12:33,837 --> 00:12:36,173
You barely cost the network anything.
217
00:13:02,074 --> 00:13:05,035
ominous music playing
218
00:13:18,882 --> 00:13:20,467
- You ever have a dream...
219
00:13:21,927 --> 00:13:23,262
Something...
220
00:13:25,013 --> 00:13:27,014
you would do anything for?
221
00:13:27,015 --> 00:13:29,476
Especially when someone says...
222
00:13:30,477 --> 00:13:32,228
you can't do it.
223
00:13:32,229 --> 00:13:34,313
You don't deserve it.
224
00:13:34,314 --> 00:13:36,066
You were that dream for me.
225
00:13:36,859 --> 00:13:39,902
No. Your career was your dream.
226
00:13:39,903 --> 00:13:43,282
Just know that I will always love you.
227
00:13:44,283 --> 00:13:46,117
- My lovin'.
228
00:13:46,118 --> 00:13:47,619
You're never gotta get it.
229
00:13:49,663 --> 00:13:51,372
That was amazing.
230
00:13:51,373 --> 00:13:54,041
Sandra, oh, my gosh.
She's so sexy. So beautiful.
231
00:13:54,042 --> 00:13:57,253
Listen, I'm your man, Julius.
And I'm gonna be here,
232
00:13:57,254 --> 00:13:59,797
you know, I got some stuff
to really put you in the mood.
233
00:13:59,798 --> 00:14:02,800
Get your candy box going, ladies.
Put a little bit of sugar in there.
234
00:14:02,801 --> 00:14:06,304
I got everything that you need.
That's right. Everything right here.
235
00:14:06,305 --> 00:14:07,930
Right here. You know.
236
00:14:07,931 --> 00:14:10,224
I love using this time
to talk to the ladies,
237
00:14:10,225 --> 00:14:11,934
because you all buy tickets to things,
238
00:14:11,935 --> 00:14:15,396
so y'all know where I'm gonna be at.
I'm gonna be DJing downtown...
239
00:14:15,397 --> 00:14:16,564
You're ten days late!
240
00:14:16,565 --> 00:14:18,567
Don't think I won't
kick your ass out of here!
241
00:14:28,076 --> 00:14:29,411
God damn it.
242
00:14:30,704 --> 00:14:32,581
All right, I'll be back tomorrow.
243
00:14:45,969 --> 00:14:48,138
- I thought she was just
getting to know us.
244
00:14:51,308 --> 00:14:53,018
Hey girl, how you holdin' up?
245
00:15:00,734 --> 00:15:03,237
Anna? Zora will see you now.
246
00:15:17,251 --> 00:15:22,004
Girl to girl, this isn't a chat.
It's an interview. Understand?
247
00:15:22,005 --> 00:15:23,966
- I'm getting the picture.
248
00:15:32,766 --> 00:15:35,893
So, you were Edna's assistant, no?
249
00:15:35,894 --> 00:15:38,646
I mean, I'm sure you're
much more than that.
250
00:15:38,647 --> 00:15:40,398
You've been here forever.
251
00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:42,401
But that was your title.
252
00:15:43,068 --> 00:15:44,902
Yes.
253
00:15:44,903 --> 00:15:49,448
- Edna was very concerned
about her dear Anna.
254
00:15:49,449 --> 00:15:51,326
She never got you promoted?
255
00:15:51,827 --> 00:15:54,078
- It almost happened.
256
00:15:54,079 --> 00:15:56,664
After I came up with The Block,
Edna said...
257
00:15:56,665 --> 00:15:58,499
- You came up with The Block?
258
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:01,961
- I wanted to produce, and host, but...
259
00:16:01,962 --> 00:16:03,547
- But that went to Julius.
260
00:16:05,674 --> 00:16:06,716
Hmm.
261
00:16:06,717 --> 00:16:10,053
- Julius was a receptionist
when I started.
262
00:16:11,013 --> 00:16:13,765
Mr. Madison must have
seen something in him.
263
00:16:14,516 --> 00:16:17,311
- So, what do you think of the network,
as a whole?
264
00:16:17,895 --> 00:16:19,021
- Um...
265
00:16:20,397 --> 00:16:22,941
Uh, empowering.
266
00:16:23,817 --> 00:16:25,652
- Once more with feeling, darling.
267
00:16:28,071 --> 00:16:30,365
- The Block is a good start.
268
00:16:31,491 --> 00:16:34,703
But I think Grant's right.
This new Teddy Riley sound...
269
00:16:36,622 --> 00:16:41,792
Everyone's stealing our styles,
and making it palatable for RMV.
270
00:16:41,793 --> 00:16:44,295
Our music is way beyond the black charts
271
00:16:44,296 --> 00:16:47,174
and we're the only one in town
who will play them.
272
00:16:48,926 --> 00:16:51,637
It's not a niche. It's the future.
273
00:16:52,513 --> 00:16:54,180
Why aren't we playing the real deal,
274
00:16:54,181 --> 00:16:57,934
like, what the kids who buy music
actually listen to?
275
00:16:57,935 --> 00:17:01,021
- Culture viewership skews fairly older.
276
00:17:02,272 --> 00:17:04,525
- Um, right.
277
00:17:05,692 --> 00:17:10,280
So, our VJs could...
278
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,908
host different blocks
of specialized videos
279
00:17:13,909 --> 00:17:15,368
throughout the day.
280
00:17:15,369 --> 00:17:18,621
And we could...
281
00:17:18,622 --> 00:17:22,375
more than host.
They could rep different styles of music.
282
00:17:22,376 --> 00:17:25,336
And they have their viewers call in,
283
00:17:25,337 --> 00:17:27,255
and vote for their favorites.
284
00:17:27,256 --> 00:17:29,715
Something for everyone, you know?
285
00:17:29,716 --> 00:17:31,592
So no one feels left out.
286
00:17:31,593 --> 00:17:35,638
All while we cultivate
a more engaged audience.
287
00:17:35,639 --> 00:17:39,560
- Consumer research disguised
as entertainment.
288
00:17:40,477 --> 00:17:42,103
Sounds pricey.
289
00:17:42,104 --> 00:17:46,358
- RMV has plenty of empty stages.
We just need a phone line.
290
00:17:49,736 --> 00:17:54,073
Uh, and it all culminates into
291
00:17:54,074 --> 00:17:56,869
a daily live countdown show.
292
00:17:59,037 --> 00:18:00,664
- Do me a write-up.
293
00:18:01,415 --> 00:18:04,167
A treatment, some sample scripts,
294
00:18:04,168 --> 00:18:07,713
budget, list of guests that could come on.
295
00:18:11,884 --> 00:18:13,635
How did you know I'd ask for this?
296
00:18:14,636 --> 00:18:15,971
- I didn't.
297
00:18:19,099 --> 00:18:21,185
- Obviously, I don't need an assistant.
298
00:18:23,020 --> 00:18:26,022
Perhaps an associate producer.
299
00:18:26,023 --> 00:18:28,859
Instrumental music
300
00:18:35,282 --> 00:18:38,368
Uh, Anna, who... who does your hair?
301
00:18:39,536 --> 00:18:40,704
- No one.
302
00:18:41,246 --> 00:18:42,331
Me.
303
00:18:43,707 --> 00:18:45,334
- Aren't you tired of it?
304
00:18:46,543 --> 00:18:49,462
All the stares you get
walking through the RMV lobby?
305
00:18:49,463 --> 00:18:51,590
Everyone wondering why you're here.
306
00:18:52,257 --> 00:18:56,761
If you went to any other floor
in this tower for a job interview,
307
00:18:56,762 --> 00:18:58,597
you wouldn't get past reception.
308
00:18:59,515 --> 00:19:00,891
And you know that.
309
00:19:02,184 --> 00:19:04,895
Sistas get fired for less than that
every day.
310
00:19:06,021 --> 00:19:10,107
Now, music people have
certain expectations,
311
00:19:10,108 --> 00:19:12,819
and my girls need to flow freely.
312
00:19:14,863 --> 00:19:17,949
I wonder, do you want to be
one of my girls?
313
00:19:17,950 --> 00:19:18,950
- Yes.
314
00:19:23,247 --> 00:19:25,832
Ominous music playing
315
00:19:49,106 --> 00:19:50,314
Anna's living in a fantasy.
316
00:19:50,315 --> 00:19:51,983
I mean, how long...
317
00:19:51,984 --> 00:19:54,694
- Uh, so this is the book Mama gave me...
- Hey, baby.
318
00:19:54,695 --> 00:19:57,864
- Uh, took me years to track it down.
319
00:19:57,865 --> 00:20:01,784
- Look who decided to grace us
with her presence.
320
00:20:01,785 --> 00:20:02,744
- Unc.
321
00:20:02,745 --> 00:20:04,745
Mama used to know all these by heart.
322
00:20:04,746 --> 00:20:06,998
Almost wondered if there was even
an actual book.
323
00:20:06,999 --> 00:20:08,875
- Something new for his
wall of oppression.
324
00:20:08,876 --> 00:20:10,626
Child, please.
325
00:20:10,627 --> 00:20:13,713
Does it have the, um...
what was it?
326
00:20:13,714 --> 00:20:17,884
- "Skinny, Skinny" story.
- "Skinny, skinny, don't you know me."
327
00:20:19,094 --> 00:20:21,762
- It's a folk tale the slaves
used to tell about witches
328
00:20:21,763 --> 00:20:24,056
who would leave their own skin
at night to go haunting.
329
00:20:24,057 --> 00:20:26,058
- Oh.
- Aah.
330
00:20:26,059 --> 00:20:29,353
"Moss Hair Girl."
That was the one Mom used to tell.
331
00:20:29,354 --> 00:20:31,356
- Uh, can I take a look?
332
00:20:32,566 --> 00:20:34,942
- Uh, yeah.
- Thank you.
333
00:20:34,943 --> 00:20:37,403
- So, Anna, how's work?
334
00:20:37,404 --> 00:20:39,822
- Intense.
- Um, I can relate to that.
335
00:20:39,823 --> 00:20:41,741
- I hardly see this one anymore.
336
00:20:41,742 --> 00:20:45,870
- Well, they have me teaching history now,
in addition to English lit,
337
00:20:45,871 --> 00:20:48,915
and I just started an after school
college prep program.
338
00:20:48,916 --> 00:20:50,750
- Remarkable.
- Uh...
339
00:20:50,751 --> 00:20:53,753
I'm sorry. Anna, I cut you off.
You were talking about work?
340
00:20:53,754 --> 00:20:55,338
- Now, are you still interning
for that lady?
341
00:20:55,339 --> 00:20:59,425
- Executive assistant, and no.
342
00:20:59,426 --> 00:21:01,093
Actually, she left the company.
343
00:21:01,094 --> 00:21:03,846
- Oh. Your job's not
in jeopardy now, is it?
344
00:21:03,847 --> 00:21:06,140
No! Not at all.
345
00:21:06,141 --> 00:21:07,642
Look, they're doing some retooling,
346
00:21:07,643 --> 00:21:11,270
and actually, they're looking at giving me
my own show, so...
347
00:21:11,271 --> 00:21:13,023
- When does it air, Anna?
348
00:21:15,442 --> 00:21:18,319
- I mean, there's still a lot to do,
so it might be a while,
349
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,363
but it's all moving along.
350
00:21:20,364 --> 00:21:22,031
- Hope it works out.
351
00:21:22,032 --> 00:21:24,617
It already is, so...
352
00:21:24,618 --> 00:21:27,495
- Oh, the flying African story.
I did my thesis on these.
353
00:21:27,496 --> 00:21:29,747
- Yes!
- No, that's in there?
354
00:21:29,748 --> 00:21:31,332
- It's ridiculous.
355
00:21:31,333 --> 00:21:32,417
I'm sorry?
356
00:21:35,462 --> 00:21:37,338
- I'm just, um,
357
00:21:37,339 --> 00:21:40,925
surprised to see a room
full of people
358
00:21:40,926 --> 00:21:42,927
with doctorates, like,
359
00:21:42,928 --> 00:21:45,972
trippin' over superstitions
and fairy tales.
360
00:21:45,973 --> 00:21:47,224
- Fairy tales.
361
00:21:48,350 --> 00:21:50,101
Humph.
362
00:21:50,102 --> 00:21:52,228
How does one group of people
subjugate another?
363
00:21:52,229 --> 00:21:54,789
Uh, Amos...
No, no, no.
I'm just educating the girl.
364
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,358
You subjugate a people
365
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,695
by telling them their science
is superstition,
366
00:22:00,696 --> 00:22:04,574
their faith is heresy,
and their wisdom is make-believe.
367
00:22:04,575 --> 00:22:06,868
They called the American Indians savages.
368
00:22:06,869 --> 00:22:08,120
And they called us...
369
00:22:09,288 --> 00:22:10,496
Well, what didn't they call us?
370
00:22:10,497 --> 00:22:13,457
- I got it, okay?
- No, you don't get it.
371
00:22:13,458 --> 00:22:16,669
From the moment you are born,
you are so thoroughly indoctrinated
372
00:22:16,670 --> 00:22:19,463
by the insanity of
Western European world views,
373
00:22:19,464 --> 00:22:23,467
you can't bear to see yourself
the way nature would have.
374
00:22:23,468 --> 00:22:27,555
And you scoff at us and our superstitions.
Well...
375
00:22:27,556 --> 00:22:31,642
those superstitions are in fact
tributaries leading to rivers
376
00:22:31,643 --> 00:22:35,646
and oceans of truth
about what you really are.
377
00:22:35,647 --> 00:22:37,941
And who you might have been.
378
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,821
Someone pass the salt.
379
00:22:43,614 --> 00:22:47,074
Uh, why you never bring Julius?
380
00:22:47,075 --> 00:22:49,535
His show is doing really well, so...
381
00:22:49,536 --> 00:22:50,828
it keeps him busy.
382
00:22:50,829 --> 00:22:53,247
- Hmm.
- Our show, really.
383
00:22:53,248 --> 00:22:55,250
- But you're making your rent, right?
384
00:22:56,126 --> 00:22:58,044
Anna, no. Your credit.
385
00:22:58,045 --> 00:23:00,296
You can't mess with that. Baby...
- They wanna raise the rent 500...
386
00:23:00,297 --> 00:23:02,757
- What? What? 500?
387
00:23:02,758 --> 00:23:04,717
- Five hundred bucks. I'll figure it out.
388
00:23:04,718 --> 00:23:06,636
- No, that is outrageous.
389
00:23:06,637 --> 00:23:09,222
- White folks started moving in, so...
390
00:23:09,223 --> 00:23:12,684
- Well, they have a habit
of doing that, don't they?
391
00:23:13,477 --> 00:23:15,102
- Auntie, no.
- Mm-mm.
392
00:23:15,103 --> 00:23:18,940
Please. Your uncle doesn't know anything
about my little account.
393
00:23:18,941 --> 00:23:24,029
Humph. Besides, you can pay me back
when your show comes through.
394
00:23:24,446 --> 00:23:25,656
Okay?
395
00:23:28,951 --> 00:23:29,951
Okay.
396
00:23:30,911 --> 00:23:32,578
Mm. So...
397
00:23:32,579 --> 00:23:34,163
We finally gonna do something...
- Auntie!
398
00:23:34,164 --> 00:23:37,375
- Oh, okay. All right. I'm just sayin'...
399
00:23:37,376 --> 00:23:40,169
Wigs have gone a long way since,
you know...
400
00:23:40,170 --> 00:23:41,838
last time you tried 'em.
401
00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:43,757
What'd you want me to do with that?
402
00:23:44,341 --> 00:23:45,968
It's a book. People read 'em.
403
00:23:47,135 --> 00:23:48,428
- I'm good.
404
00:23:51,265 --> 00:23:54,518
- I forget to leave Professor Bludso
at work sometimes.
405
00:23:55,686 --> 00:23:56,895
I'm sorry.
406
00:23:59,231 --> 00:24:02,024
- Don't you think Kieren might be
more into that folklore stuff?
407
00:24:02,025 --> 00:24:03,526
- You're into it, too.
408
00:24:03,527 --> 00:24:06,863
As long as it involves a fly girl
making it big in the city.
409
00:24:06,864 --> 00:24:09,198
Starring Sandra.
410
00:24:09,199 --> 00:24:11,034
- A fly girl, huh?
- Hey.
411
00:24:14,621 --> 00:24:16,789
Their stories run the world.
412
00:24:16,790 --> 00:24:19,334
Sure as the sun, these are ours.
413
00:24:26,008 --> 00:24:28,135
Singing and humming "I Get It"
414
00:24:43,650 --> 00:24:45,986
"I Get It" playing on radio
415
00:24:50,908 --> 00:24:51,867
- Hi.
416
00:24:51,868 --> 00:24:55,036
Um, are your prices listed?
417
00:24:55,037 --> 00:24:56,621
- Oh, for a sew in?
418
00:24:56,622 --> 00:24:59,625
- Yeah.
- Oh, hair and service is 450.
419
00:25:00,876 --> 00:25:02,919
- Four hundred and fifty?
- Mm.
420
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,963
And Virgie's earliest appointment
is the 15th...
421
00:25:05,964 --> 00:25:07,466
of February.
422
00:25:07,925 --> 00:25:10,843
- Look, sista to sista,
423
00:25:10,844 --> 00:25:12,428
I work in TV.
424
00:25:12,429 --> 00:25:14,347
I'm actually a VJ at Culture,
425
00:25:14,348 --> 00:25:18,017
and girl to girl, I really need this.
426
00:25:18,018 --> 00:25:21,229
- Well, I can see that.
427
00:25:21,230 --> 00:25:25,858
Look, I don't know how it works
in your hood, or wherever.
428
00:25:25,859 --> 00:25:30,321
But we are a world-class salon, okay?
429
00:25:30,322 --> 00:25:34,159
Look, I'm sure you can find
someone else to hook you up.
430
00:25:37,663 --> 00:25:39,038
- I get it
431
00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:40,332
- Excuse me!
432
00:25:41,708 --> 00:25:43,501
- Hi.
- Uh, Denise?
433
00:25:43,502 --> 00:25:45,211
Please. I just need a moment.
434
00:25:45,212 --> 00:25:47,296
You ever had a dream?
435
00:25:47,297 --> 00:25:49,465
One you'd be willing
to do anything for?
436
00:25:49,466 --> 00:25:52,260
- Very few things are worth
doing anything for, baby.
437
00:25:52,261 --> 00:25:55,596
- Right. Especially when
everyone says you can't do it.
438
00:25:55,597 --> 00:25:57,265
You don't deserve this,
says you don't belong
439
00:25:57,266 --> 00:25:59,685
where you know
your destiny tells you to be.
440
00:26:00,185 --> 00:26:02,271
Sista, have you ever been there?
441
00:26:03,105 --> 00:26:04,480
Okay.
442
00:26:04,481 --> 00:26:06,608
It'll be my good deed for the day.
443
00:26:07,818 --> 00:26:11,697
You can wait over there
until she can slip you in.
444
00:26:12,698 --> 00:26:15,117
"Break U" playing on TV
445
00:26:16,618 --> 00:26:19,954
- Don't wanna break you, break you
446
00:26:19,955 --> 00:26:23,624
We just can't do the things
that lovers do
447
00:26:23,625 --> 00:26:26,419
I gotta break you, break you
448
00:26:26,420 --> 00:26:28,380
mysterious music playing
449
00:27:01,914 --> 00:27:03,540
Sweetheart.
450
00:27:08,170 --> 00:27:09,796
All right, baby.
451
00:27:10,756 --> 00:27:12,257
Let's find her.
452
00:27:14,885 --> 00:27:17,012
Go on and look around, honey.
453
00:27:18,555 --> 00:27:21,308
You won't see my supply
at any other salon.
454
00:27:25,395 --> 00:27:27,272
My sources are exclusive.
455
00:27:39,535 --> 00:27:40,953
I thought so.
456
00:27:42,454 --> 00:27:44,747
- I really do feel something.
457
00:27:44,748 --> 00:27:46,750
Clients wear this stuff as magic.
458
00:27:48,418 --> 00:27:50,294
You know, in some parts of India,
459
00:27:50,295 --> 00:27:53,422
a woman's hair is her
most prized possession.
460
00:27:53,423 --> 00:27:56,634
It's the greatest sacrifice
she can make to her gods.
461
00:27:56,635 --> 00:27:58,928
- This came all the way from India?
462
00:27:58,929 --> 00:28:00,848
- Forget about where it's from.
463
00:28:02,182 --> 00:28:04,058
Let's focus on where it's going.
464
00:28:10,524 --> 00:28:12,817
You're not tender-headed, are you?
465
00:28:12,818 --> 00:28:13,985
I'm sorry!
466
00:28:13,986 --> 00:28:15,571
- I'll be fine.
467
00:28:29,751 --> 00:28:32,171
ominous music playing
468
00:28:56,403 --> 00:28:57,696
Aah.
469
00:29:01,909 --> 00:29:03,202
Ow.
470
00:29:14,588 --> 00:29:17,173
- My mama used a hot comb on me.
471
00:29:18,842 --> 00:29:21,553
And she burned the shit
out of my scalp.
472
00:29:30,020 --> 00:29:31,938
- Ow. Ow.
473
00:29:36,693 --> 00:29:37,986
You almost finished?
474
00:29:52,668 --> 00:29:53,710
Ow.
475
00:30:07,224 --> 00:30:09,601
ominous music playing
476
00:30:14,022 --> 00:30:15,273
Sweetheart.
477
00:30:15,274 --> 00:30:19,152
- I'm sorry, I... I've never had
my hair done before.
478
00:30:36,295 --> 00:30:38,254
- You're not the first to faint.
479
00:30:40,632 --> 00:30:41,758
- Ow.
480
00:31:03,363 --> 00:31:05,657
- It's...
- Stunning.
481
00:31:12,539 --> 00:31:15,083
My line of essential oils for the scalp.
482
00:31:15,709 --> 00:31:17,336
Proprietary blend.
483
00:31:18,045 --> 00:31:21,422
You want to get it between your braids
and work it into the hair,
484
00:31:21,423 --> 00:31:23,174
at least twice a day.
485
00:31:23,175 --> 00:31:26,011
Trust me. And never get it wet.
486
00:31:27,054 --> 00:31:29,180
It'll hurt for the first week or so.
487
00:31:29,181 --> 00:31:32,518
A lot, but that's normal
for the first time.
488
00:31:33,810 --> 00:31:35,479
But once you get through it,
489
00:31:37,022 --> 00:31:39,775
I'll never be this bad again, okay?
490
00:31:40,776 --> 00:31:43,945
I thought you said
there wouldn't be anybody else here.
491
00:31:43,946 --> 00:31:45,572
She's leaving.
492
00:31:47,616 --> 00:31:50,702
- When she tells you not to get it wet,
believe her.
493
00:31:51,411 --> 00:31:53,037
What the hell, Sandra?
494
00:31:53,038 --> 00:31:54,414
- Rain at the venue.
495
00:31:54,998 --> 00:31:57,834
Manager wanted a Diana Ross moment.
496
00:31:57,835 --> 00:31:59,460
- Oh, such a fan.
497
00:31:59,461 --> 00:32:03,256
I work for Culture, and it's all because
growing up, I saw you.
498
00:32:03,257 --> 00:32:05,008
Someone who looks like me on TV.
499
00:32:05,926 --> 00:32:08,554
Love, love the new video.
500
00:32:09,471 --> 00:32:11,014
- So does the label.
501
00:32:11,598 --> 00:32:12,682
"I Get It" playing on TV
502
00:32:12,683 --> 00:32:14,225
- When you were mine
503
00:32:14,226 --> 00:32:16,727
You said I was your everything
504
00:32:16,728 --> 00:32:18,855
What else did you find
505
00:32:18,856 --> 00:32:22,067
Tell me boy, what you're missing
506
00:32:30,617 --> 00:32:33,744
Hey! It's Anna. Leave a message.
507
00:32:33,745 --> 00:32:35,788
Hey, it's Edna.
508
00:32:35,789 --> 00:32:37,874
It's happening a lot faster
than I thought,
509
00:32:37,875 --> 00:32:40,751
and I want you by my side.
Call me, sis.
510
00:32:43,505 --> 00:32:45,757
This is it! Open it!
511
00:32:50,429 --> 00:32:51,638
Fuck.
512
00:32:52,139 --> 00:32:54,974
What?
- Fuckin' rent! That's what.
513
00:32:54,975 --> 00:32:56,560
- I paid you.
514
00:32:57,102 --> 00:32:58,644
That increase happened after...
515
00:32:58,645 --> 00:33:00,688
- The increase happened
when I say it did.
516
00:33:00,689 --> 00:33:02,982
It's 500 bucks. Now.
517
00:33:02,983 --> 00:33:06,194
- What are you gonna do?
Just drag me into
the middle of the street?
518
00:33:07,529 --> 00:33:08,779
Mr. Tannen!
519
00:33:08,780 --> 00:33:10,281
- Cops will do that for me.
520
00:33:10,282 --> 00:33:11,824
Mr. Tannen!
521
00:33:11,825 --> 00:33:14,244
My toilet's overflowing!
522
00:33:18,498 --> 00:33:21,001
tense music playing
523
00:34:15,430 --> 00:34:19,517
"First there was only
the wild beasts and the red man.
524
00:34:19,518 --> 00:34:22,187
Then the white man came
and brought our people."
525
00:34:23,856 --> 00:34:25,899
"The Moss Haired Girl."
526
00:34:28,610 --> 00:34:31,237
"The house negress was a plain woman
527
00:34:31,238 --> 00:34:34,867
"who took up walking in them woods
when her work was done.
528
00:34:36,743 --> 00:34:40,079
"She'd see tress covered
in black moss so fine
529
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:41,747
"it looked like massa hair.
530
00:34:41,748 --> 00:34:45,335
She stole the moss from the tree,
and made herself a wig."
531
00:35:35,260 --> 00:35:37,428
Welcome back to RMV.
532
00:35:37,429 --> 00:35:39,305
Can you believe it?
We are gonna do something so crazy
533
00:35:39,306 --> 00:35:40,890
and so different for us right now.
534
00:35:40,891 --> 00:35:42,850
Okay, the princess of soul, Sandra...
535
00:35:42,851 --> 00:35:46,062
- Ow! Ow.
- Is now the queen of pop!
536
00:35:46,063 --> 00:35:48,689
Her newest single "I Get It"
is rising the pop charts,
537
00:35:48,690 --> 00:35:51,108
so let's give it up for her RMV debut.
538
00:35:51,109 --> 00:35:53,153
Here's Sandra!
539
00:36:04,915 --> 00:36:06,123
Yeah, man.
540
00:36:06,124 --> 00:36:07,500
Oh, who dat?
541
00:36:07,501 --> 00:36:09,085
- Oh, oh, my, my, my.
542
00:36:09,086 --> 00:36:11,672
Anna, uh, so I got these
Janet Jackson tickets, if you...
543
00:36:12,714 --> 00:36:13,966
Feel like...
544
00:36:15,342 --> 00:36:17,135
- Hey, girl.
- Hi.
545
00:36:20,514 --> 00:36:22,099
Hmm. Humph!
546
00:36:39,241 --> 00:36:40,617
- Aah.
547
00:36:43,036 --> 00:36:45,080
- Mm.
- Wow.
548
00:36:45,747 --> 00:36:47,582
You look good, girl.
549
00:36:47,583 --> 00:36:49,877
Hey.
550
00:36:50,752 --> 00:36:52,087
Thanks to you.
551
00:36:53,839 --> 00:36:56,090
- I overheard Zora's hair speech.
552
00:36:56,091 --> 00:36:58,968
So, I thought she might like this.
553
00:36:58,969 --> 00:37:00,470
How does it feel?
554
00:37:00,929 --> 00:37:02,013
- It's fine.
555
00:37:02,014 --> 00:37:04,473
- I know. When I first got mine in,
I wasn't used to all that length.
556
00:37:04,474 --> 00:37:06,684
I was always swiping at my neck,
557
00:37:06,685 --> 00:37:09,188
like, "What is this?
- Yeah.
558
00:37:09,897 --> 00:37:13,274
- Oh, there's a planning meeting
in the conference room at 11:00,
559
00:37:13,275 --> 00:37:14,984
and Zora wants you there.
560
00:37:14,985 --> 00:37:17,196
- She... She does?
561
00:37:17,487 --> 00:37:18,696
- She does.
562
00:37:30,792 --> 00:37:32,001
Ew!
563
00:37:37,758 --> 00:37:39,259
- I told you.
564
00:37:42,054 --> 00:37:43,305
So sad.
565
00:37:49,937 --> 00:37:51,980
- Mm. Lookin' fly, Anna.
566
00:37:52,898 --> 00:37:54,440
- Fuck you.
567
00:37:54,441 --> 00:37:56,902
So, uh, here's where I'm at.
568
00:37:57,778 --> 00:37:59,529
No more cooking shows.
569
00:37:59,530 --> 00:38:01,405
No more hair shows.
570
00:38:01,406 --> 00:38:03,533
No more endless blocks
of Anita Baker.
571
00:38:03,534 --> 00:38:06,786
She gave us good love,
and we've had enough of it.
572
00:38:06,787 --> 00:38:09,121
- Ooh, uh, what's wrong with
Anita Baker?
573
00:38:09,122 --> 00:38:11,249
- Look, Hair Beat got mad ratings.
574
00:38:11,250 --> 00:38:13,960
A point 6 in 5 share
would make me mad, as well.
575
00:38:13,961 --> 00:38:15,253
That ain't bad for cable.
576
00:38:15,254 --> 00:38:17,672
Brook, you are better than Hair Beat.
577
00:38:17,673 --> 00:38:19,173
You've got personality.
578
00:38:19,174 --> 00:38:20,758
With clothes that fit,
you could be a star.
579
00:38:20,759 --> 00:38:23,135
Sista Soul, you could be...
580
00:38:23,136 --> 00:38:24,429
something.
581
00:38:24,930 --> 00:38:27,849
The quiet storm is a little
too loud for our channel.
582
00:38:27,850 --> 00:38:30,142
I mean, don't get me wrong.
I love the whole organic,
583
00:38:30,143 --> 00:38:33,229
earthy dashiki vibe,
but we need to find you a new lane.
584
00:38:33,230 --> 00:38:35,106
- A new lane?
585
00:38:35,107 --> 00:38:38,359
Sista, I represent black women, okay?
586
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:39,986
Real working women.
587
00:38:39,987 --> 00:38:41,612
- Who evidently don't have cable.
588
00:38:41,613 --> 00:38:43,739
- Don't come up in here trying to
make us something we ain't.
589
00:38:43,740 --> 00:38:45,700
- Yo, yo, yo. I don't want to change you.
590
00:38:45,701 --> 00:38:47,326
- Mostly just Sista.
- Brook.
591
00:38:47,327 --> 00:38:50,288
- I want you more... whatever this is.
592
00:38:50,289 --> 00:38:53,541
This is what we can sell
advertising around.
593
00:38:53,542 --> 00:38:55,960
Uh, let us not be precious here.
594
00:38:55,961 --> 00:38:57,546
Back me up on this, Anna.
595
00:38:58,755 --> 00:39:01,382
Oh, so you've been
talking to her about us.
596
00:39:01,383 --> 00:39:03,634
Got it.
- I didn't say anything like that.
597
00:39:03,635 --> 00:39:04,970
- Humph.
598
00:39:05,596 --> 00:39:07,471
- Wow.
- This is what I want to do.
599
00:39:07,472 --> 00:39:10,433
I want to create a
programming centerpiece.
600
00:39:10,434 --> 00:39:12,476
Live. Something fresh.
601
00:39:12,477 --> 00:39:14,770
A live call-in countdown show
- Live countdown show.
602
00:39:14,771 --> 00:39:16,731
- Viewers rank their favorite videos.
- Vote for their favorites.
603
00:39:16,732 --> 00:39:19,734
Then we create programming blocks
to showcase these videos,
- who rep different styles.
604
00:39:19,735 --> 00:39:22,153
In new and exciting ways.
605
00:39:23,447 --> 00:39:27,533
You want us to reprogram
an entire network...
606
00:39:27,534 --> 00:39:29,619
...in six weeks?
607
00:39:29,620 --> 00:39:33,207
- If you plan to still be working here
in six weeks, Sheryl, yes.
608
00:39:33,749 --> 00:39:35,250
What kind of advertising?
609
00:39:40,422 --> 00:39:42,173
You wanted to see me?
610
00:39:42,174 --> 00:39:43,800
- What the hell was that in there?
611
00:39:44,635 --> 00:39:46,469
I'm just confused.
612
00:39:46,470 --> 00:39:48,137
You haven't commented on the proposal,
613
00:39:48,138 --> 00:39:50,139
and suddenly...
- You being invited in a meeting
614
00:39:50,140 --> 00:39:52,559
with producers and hosts
was my comment.
615
00:39:54,645 --> 00:39:55,938
Virgie's?
616
00:39:58,607 --> 00:39:59,732
- Yes.
617
00:39:59,733 --> 00:40:01,026
- It has her signature.
618
00:40:04,655 --> 00:40:05,655
What?
619
00:40:08,325 --> 00:40:10,202
- Are you giving me the show?
620
00:40:17,751 --> 00:40:19,044
- To host?
621
00:40:19,628 --> 00:40:23,215
Awful big bet to make on someone
who's never hosted a show before.
622
00:40:23,841 --> 00:40:26,801
- Like the one Grant made on Julius?
623
00:40:26,802 --> 00:40:28,970
Or is Julius somehow special?
624
00:40:30,430 --> 00:40:32,348
- What are you getting at?
625
00:40:32,349 --> 00:40:36,018
- It just seems like Julius is the
only one not under a microscope.
626
00:40:36,019 --> 00:40:39,230
Like he's getting special treatment
or something.
627
00:40:39,231 --> 00:40:40,983
- And why would he get that?
628
00:40:43,735 --> 00:40:45,444
Because we're fucking?
629
00:40:45,445 --> 00:40:47,322
What?
630
00:40:48,574 --> 00:40:49,992
- We're fucking.
631
00:40:50,701 --> 00:40:52,368
You have a problem with that?
632
00:40:52,369 --> 00:40:53,536
- Why would I?
633
00:40:53,537 --> 00:40:56,664
Your private life is your business.
634
00:40:56,665 --> 00:40:59,041
- A live show is all hands on deck.
635
00:40:59,042 --> 00:41:00,751
I need everyone working on this.
636
00:41:00,752 --> 00:41:03,922
I will decide who the lead is
when I can see what you all can do.
637
00:41:05,007 --> 00:41:06,007
Cool?
638
00:41:08,260 --> 00:41:10,845
Oh, and, uh, Anna?
639
00:41:10,846 --> 00:41:13,182
Get your girls in check.
640
00:41:27,821 --> 00:41:29,823
- Zora's who you've been seeing?
641
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:34,577
Nigga, you get out the hood
off my idea. You wanna what, trade up?
642
00:41:34,578 --> 00:41:36,162
- Just chill with that.
643
00:41:36,163 --> 00:41:37,246
Who else knows?
644
00:41:37,247 --> 00:41:41,417
- Your girl told me.
And I use the term "girl" very loosely.
645
00:41:41,418 --> 00:41:44,670
'Cause she old enough to be your mama.
- Enough with that.
646
00:41:44,671 --> 00:41:45,796
Okay?
647
00:41:45,797 --> 00:41:49,008
- But it makes sense.
'Cause you act like a fuckin' child!
648
00:41:49,009 --> 00:41:53,346
So, what, you're gonna sleep your way
to the top, like a little bitch?
649
00:41:53,347 --> 00:41:56,725
What?
- This is the first time I actually
heard you raise your voice.
650
00:41:57,476 --> 00:41:59,353
I kind of like it.
- Fuck you!
651
00:42:00,562 --> 00:42:02,730
- Listen, I don't want this
to get out okay?
652
00:42:02,731 --> 00:42:04,315
- Tell Zora that, then.
653
00:42:04,316 --> 00:42:05,442
- Oh, I will.
654
00:42:06,860 --> 00:42:09,300
You know, I'm not the only one
with secrets around this place.
655
00:42:10,781 --> 00:42:14,201
Unless you found somebody
to do that thing that you like.
656
00:42:16,036 --> 00:42:17,662
- What's that got to do with anything?
657
00:42:17,663 --> 00:42:20,206
- This is a gossipy office, and, uh...
658
00:42:20,207 --> 00:42:23,043
your discretion is appreciated, okay?
659
00:42:26,171 --> 00:42:27,631
We had fun.
660
00:42:28,340 --> 00:42:30,342
Let's not make it more than that, okay?
661
00:42:41,144 --> 00:42:43,230
ominous music playing
662
00:43:07,713 --> 00:43:09,047
Ow.
663
00:43:22,227 --> 00:43:23,853
Hey, it's me!
664
00:43:23,854 --> 00:43:25,938
Just wanted to make sure
you're not dead.
665
00:43:27,816 --> 00:43:30,027
- Hey.
- Whoa.
666
00:43:30,569 --> 00:43:34,697
So this is why you haven't been
at dinner in a while. Okay.
667
00:43:34,698 --> 00:43:38,117
Oh, my God. Dad is going to flip.
And Mom?
668
00:43:38,118 --> 00:43:41,121
Actually, Mom's gonna love it, but...
- So nice to see you, too, Linda.
669
00:43:41,788 --> 00:43:44,207
You hungry?
670
00:43:44,208 --> 00:43:45,958
You can't get that wet, can you?
671
00:43:45,959 --> 00:43:47,460
Like, at all.
672
00:43:47,461 --> 00:43:50,379
Oh, honey. I think you're allergic.
673
00:43:50,380 --> 00:43:52,381
- No, it's human.
674
00:43:52,382 --> 00:43:53,883
I think my neck's just...
675
00:43:53,884 --> 00:43:57,053
not used to having all this
brushing up against it.
676
00:43:57,054 --> 00:44:00,807
- Oh, so you're the one
that's been hogging this.
677
00:44:01,975 --> 00:44:03,893
- Unc gave that to me to read.
678
00:44:03,894 --> 00:44:05,646
- Yeah, like a month ago.
679
00:44:06,522 --> 00:44:08,815
- Okay. Keep it. I don't care.
680
00:44:17,950 --> 00:44:20,285
- Hey. I wasn't done!
681
00:44:21,745 --> 00:44:22,871
It's fine.
682
00:44:23,580 --> 00:44:26,374
Kieren says I've put on a few.
683
00:44:26,375 --> 00:44:27,584
- What?
684
00:44:30,087 --> 00:44:31,462
- Hey, what...
685
00:44:31,463 --> 00:44:33,590
What does Julius think?
686
00:44:36,218 --> 00:44:37,553
- He loves it.
687
00:44:42,558 --> 00:44:45,644
- You must have all those
famous people on speed-dial.
688
00:44:48,272 --> 00:44:50,064
- I mean, not all of 'em.
689
00:44:51,733 --> 00:44:53,110
- So cool.
690
00:44:53,569 --> 00:44:55,654
You knew what you were gonna do
your whole life.
691
00:44:56,405 --> 00:44:58,782
Dad knew what I was gonna do
before I was even born.
692
00:44:59,658 --> 00:45:01,368
Must be nice.
693
00:45:04,788 --> 00:45:06,497
I should... I should go.
694
00:45:06,498 --> 00:45:08,458
Oh, but first...
695
00:45:10,794 --> 00:45:12,129
These are for you.
696
00:45:14,298 --> 00:45:16,717
Aah! Thank you.
697
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,726
Bludso on the radio
- On the radio
698
00:45:29,897 --> 00:45:31,939
- Love you.
- Love you, too.
699
00:45:31,940 --> 00:45:34,984
Have a good night.
- Okay. Drive safe.
700
00:45:34,985 --> 00:45:36,987
I always do!
701
00:45:51,293 --> 00:45:53,628
You're tuned to Bludso on the radio.
702
00:45:53,629 --> 00:45:57,757
Stage one of my dramatic transformation
is almost complete.
703
00:45:57,758 --> 00:46:00,278
Oh, my God. You're such a child.
704
00:46:00,385 --> 00:46:04,555
Well, I'm an actual child, so...
705
00:46:04,556 --> 00:46:06,390
how is that an insult?
706
00:46:11,230 --> 00:46:13,272
It just means it's working.
707
00:46:16,527 --> 00:46:19,070
Listeners, the music will be right back
708
00:46:19,071 --> 00:46:20,656
after a quick break.
709
00:46:23,492 --> 00:46:25,910
Fine, but don't get mad when
you're just as nappy as you ever were.
710
00:46:25,911 --> 00:46:27,412
- Mr. Tannen.
711
00:46:29,706 --> 00:46:31,749
May I help you with...?
- Do we still gotta do this?
712
00:46:31,750 --> 00:46:33,209
Come on, Linda!
713
00:46:33,210 --> 00:46:34,919
- I'm right here!
- Do what?
714
00:46:37,673 --> 00:46:39,716
I actually have your money.
715
00:46:40,384 --> 00:46:42,386
- W-why don't you hold onto it?
716
00:46:44,888 --> 00:46:46,389
- You been drinking, Mr. Tannen?
717
00:46:46,390 --> 00:46:49,600
- Don't do that.
You're not the only one, you know.
718
00:46:49,601 --> 00:46:50,853
I know the game.
719
00:46:51,687 --> 00:46:53,187
- You know, my cousin's actually waiting...
720
00:46:53,188 --> 00:46:55,232
No, she's not.
721
00:46:55,983 --> 00:46:57,693
Relax, baby.
722
00:46:58,318 --> 00:47:01,446
Black pussy is a passion of mine.
723
00:47:02,906 --> 00:47:05,367
How about some music? Thin walls, right?
724
00:47:07,202 --> 00:47:08,578
- Okay.
725
00:47:12,791 --> 00:47:15,210
Linda!
726
00:47:16,879 --> 00:47:20,119
That hurts!
"That Dress That I Like" playing on TV
727
00:47:20,591 --> 00:47:23,509
- If you're feeling like I do
728
00:47:23,510 --> 00:47:26,221
Show me that it's true
729
00:47:32,352 --> 00:47:33,812
Fuck!
730
00:47:34,188 --> 00:47:35,438
Aah! Aah!
731
00:47:36,982 --> 00:47:38,691
Aah!
732
00:47:38,692 --> 00:47:40,152
Aah!
733
00:47:40,652 --> 00:47:42,613
We're just gettin' started. Yeah!
734
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,213
music continues on TV
735
00:48:08,722 --> 00:48:10,224
- Mr. Tannen?
736
00:48:14,937 --> 00:48:16,396
Mr. Tannen.
737
00:48:32,996 --> 00:48:34,164
Oh.
738
00:48:36,875 --> 00:48:39,253
Ominous music playing
739
00:48:43,590 --> 00:48:45,676
What the fuck is this?
740
00:49:09,741 --> 00:49:11,826
Good morning, Los Angeles.
741
00:49:11,827 --> 00:49:14,704
You were listening to "One Night,"
the latest from Sandra.
742
00:49:14,705 --> 00:49:17,248
We got traffic and weather coming up
for you right after the break,
743
00:49:17,249 --> 00:49:18,457
but first, some good news.
744
00:49:18,458 --> 00:49:19,584
Stay close to that dial
745
00:49:19,585 --> 00:49:22,128
for your chance to win tickets
to see the The Fellas,
746
00:49:22,129 --> 00:49:24,255
live and in concert at the Forum.
747
00:49:25,799 --> 00:49:27,426
dramatic music playing
748
00:49:31,722 --> 00:49:33,556
- We're ready to transport.
- All right.
749
00:49:36,351 --> 00:49:39,061
- Oh, my gosh.
- Mm-hmm. Mr. Tannen.
750
00:49:39,062 --> 00:49:42,149
They found that bastard
dead in the dumpster.
751
00:49:43,066 --> 00:49:46,569
The door to the roof was open.
There was empty bottles of gin everywhere.
752
00:49:46,570 --> 00:49:49,030
You know what? I bet he slipped.
753
00:49:49,031 --> 00:49:50,865
Ooh, that drunk-ass.
754
00:49:50,866 --> 00:49:52,117
- Liv.
755
00:49:53,035 --> 00:49:54,203
Yeah.
756
00:49:54,828 --> 00:49:56,205
How horrible.
757
00:49:56,622 --> 00:49:57,997
- You know what he did to me?
758
00:49:57,998 --> 00:50:00,875
He tried to raise my rent by $500.
759
00:50:00,876 --> 00:50:03,837
I had to threaten to sue his ass.
He ever try that shit with you?
760
00:50:05,756 --> 00:50:09,467
- No. Thank God.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah, praise Heaven.
761
00:50:09,468 --> 00:50:11,552
- Fucking rapist.
762
00:50:14,389 --> 00:50:16,599
Damn, that took a turn.
763
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:20,311
Ooh, Mr. Tannen, you dead.
Bye, girl.
764
00:50:36,662 --> 00:50:40,165
- I'm not changing who I am
just to appeal to some whiter...
765
00:50:40,999 --> 00:50:43,543
...wider demographic.
766
00:50:43,544 --> 00:50:46,712
No one's asking you
to change who you are. Just...
767
00:50:46,713 --> 00:50:48,090
the way you look.
768
00:50:48,799 --> 00:50:50,132
The name of your show.
769
00:50:50,133 --> 00:50:52,134
It's not that big of a deal.
770
00:50:52,135 --> 00:50:54,470
You know how long
it took me to get here?
771
00:50:54,471 --> 00:50:56,931
How many interviews I've had to walk into,
772
00:50:56,932 --> 00:50:59,350
not knowing if they wanted Angela Davis,
773
00:50:59,351 --> 00:51:01,853
or Diahann Carroll, or Queen Latifah,
774
00:51:01,854 --> 00:51:04,188
or fucking Claire Huxtable.
775
00:51:04,189 --> 00:51:06,315
I'm sick of this shit!
776
00:51:06,316 --> 00:51:09,569
- Come on, Sista.
It ain't gotta be all that.
777
00:51:09,570 --> 00:51:12,238
I mean, look. Black women are magic.
You know that.
778
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,156
We could put our hair
all the way up to the sky,
779
00:51:14,157 --> 00:51:16,617
drape it down to our shoulders,
or somewhere in between.
780
00:51:16,618 --> 00:51:19,620
Shit, Patti LaBelle changed her hairstyle
20 times in one performance.
781
00:51:19,621 --> 00:51:21,038
What you need is a new attitude.
782
00:51:21,039 --> 00:51:22,832
- Yeah, but that was her choice.
783
00:51:22,833 --> 00:51:24,625
- A career in TV was your choice.
784
00:51:24,626 --> 00:51:27,587
- I chose a career at Culture.
785
00:51:27,588 --> 00:51:30,047
A place where I ain't gotta
look like a different bitch every week
786
00:51:30,048 --> 00:51:31,132
just to do what I love.
787
00:51:31,133 --> 00:51:33,594
- Culture is dead.
788
00:51:34,386 --> 00:51:36,221
For real?
789
00:51:37,514 --> 00:51:39,473
- Sista.
- Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
790
00:51:39,474 --> 00:51:40,475
- Sista...
791
00:51:42,895 --> 00:51:44,104
Sista...
792
00:51:46,481 --> 00:51:47,523
Hey.
793
00:51:47,524 --> 00:51:50,943
- Yes, Sheryl?
- Um, is this a programming meeting?
794
00:51:50,944 --> 00:51:52,236
- It was.
795
00:51:52,237 --> 00:51:53,906
- I wasn't informed.
796
00:51:54,823 --> 00:51:56,325
I'm the VP of programming.
797
00:51:57,451 --> 00:51:59,243
- What have you done for me lately?
798
00:52:00,996 --> 00:52:02,414
Anna, you have a month.
799
00:52:05,334 --> 00:52:08,127
It's not fair. It's not,
800
00:52:08,128 --> 00:52:10,088
playing by these rules, but...
801
00:52:10,839 --> 00:52:13,425
Do you really want to quit the game?
802
00:52:15,594 --> 00:52:18,805
And it's fun. I'm telling you.
It's like...
803
00:52:19,723 --> 00:52:21,725
Like Halloween or something.
804
00:52:23,060 --> 00:52:26,521
People look at you
and they see somebody else,
805
00:52:26,522 --> 00:52:31,485
and somehow, you become...
more of yourself.
806
00:52:33,737 --> 00:52:36,949
Or at least, a bigger version, or...
807
00:52:38,867 --> 00:52:39,993
I don't know.
808
00:52:41,703 --> 00:52:43,162
Look,
809
00:52:43,163 --> 00:52:45,456
let's just get through this season,
810
00:52:45,457 --> 00:52:47,416
and then take that shit out.
811
00:52:47,417 --> 00:52:49,627
Wear what you want to wear.
812
00:52:49,628 --> 00:52:54,757
And we'll all go to Jamaica, or something.
813
00:52:54,758 --> 00:52:56,634
Jamaica, bitch?
814
00:52:56,635 --> 00:52:59,054
- You, me, and Brook.
815
00:53:01,098 --> 00:53:02,307
Look...
816
00:53:03,183 --> 00:53:06,061
Please, please don't quit.
817
00:53:07,437 --> 00:53:09,940
Y'all the only ones here I understand.
818
00:53:15,988 --> 00:53:17,531
- I'll think about it.
819
00:53:18,407 --> 00:53:19,950
Got the news.
820
00:53:31,170 --> 00:53:32,880
ominous music playing
821
00:53:54,318 --> 00:53:55,986
- Never again.
822
00:53:57,362 --> 00:53:59,155
Baxter was a...
823
00:53:59,156 --> 00:54:02,701
a bad man. But I'm not...
824
00:54:13,921 --> 00:54:15,214
Aah!
825
00:54:19,801 --> 00:54:21,845
Come on! Come on, come on!
826
00:54:22,930 --> 00:54:24,847
So, Sista.
827
00:54:24,848 --> 00:54:26,349
Divas with soul.
828
00:54:26,350 --> 00:54:28,059
A block of all women,
829
00:54:28,060 --> 00:54:31,437
MCs, soul singers,
and of course, occasionally,
830
00:54:31,438 --> 00:54:33,023
the men we love.
831
00:54:34,566 --> 00:54:35,817
- Nice.
832
00:54:41,031 --> 00:54:44,283
- Um, so, with Sista,
833
00:54:44,284 --> 00:54:48,080
we now have enough VJs for every segment
of the audience.
834
00:54:48,664 --> 00:54:52,667
Mm, that just leaves a host.
835
00:54:52,668 --> 00:54:56,170
I think you'd agree that
no one Grant's team suggested had that.
836
00:54:56,171 --> 00:55:00,216
- Anna, I know how hard
you're angling for this, and...
837
00:55:00,217 --> 00:55:02,678
I've seen the work you're putting in,
and...
838
00:55:03,762 --> 00:55:04,929
I'm impressed.
839
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:11,061
You still using the pink stuff?
840
00:55:13,105 --> 00:55:14,438
- Yeah.
841
00:55:14,439 --> 00:55:15,816
- It's not enough, is it?
842
00:55:16,567 --> 00:55:19,695
- What? Do you mean...?
843
00:55:20,112 --> 00:55:22,238
Guess who...?
844
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,116
Ooh. My bad, Anna.
845
00:55:25,117 --> 00:55:28,244
You, uh, ready for that lunch meeting?
846
00:55:28,245 --> 00:55:29,829
- I'm starving.
847
00:55:33,667 --> 00:55:35,752
- Can't wait for tonight.
848
00:55:48,056 --> 00:55:49,725
You okay, Sis?
849
00:55:52,603 --> 00:55:54,353
- Up all night.
850
00:55:54,354 --> 00:55:56,315
Lord, they put this thing in tight.
851
00:55:57,274 --> 00:55:58,608
I'll be all right.
852
00:55:58,609 --> 00:56:01,652
- What changed your mind, girl?
I love it.
853
00:56:01,653 --> 00:56:03,113
- Me, too, girl.
854
00:56:06,950 --> 00:56:08,493
- You did good today.
855
00:56:09,203 --> 00:56:10,370
Thanks, girl.
856
00:56:23,300 --> 00:56:24,301
- Ow.
857
00:56:27,888 --> 00:56:29,431
Are you serious?
858
00:57:15,310 --> 00:57:17,229
This never happened.
859
00:57:48,343 --> 00:57:50,970
What's up, everybody?
We are here to celebrate
860
00:57:50,971 --> 00:57:54,807
the hottest 24-hour music network, Cult,
861
00:57:54,808 --> 00:57:57,185
and here are The Fellas!
862
00:57:57,186 --> 00:58:01,690
- No, please don't go thinkin'...
863
00:58:02,316 --> 00:58:03,649
Hey.
864
00:58:06,111 --> 00:58:08,488
- Wow. Oh, my God.
865
00:58:08,906 --> 00:58:10,240
You look great.
866
00:58:11,950 --> 00:58:14,244
Song continues
867
00:58:21,835 --> 00:58:24,337
- Hey!
- Sista!
868
00:58:24,338 --> 00:58:26,297
Look at you.
869
00:58:26,298 --> 00:58:27,590
Wow!
870
00:58:27,591 --> 00:58:29,008
Anna.
871
00:58:29,009 --> 00:58:31,511
You never called me back.
872
00:58:31,512 --> 00:58:33,471
- Babe, I've been so busy.
873
00:58:33,472 --> 00:58:36,807
- Rubbish. I want you and me
at the Madonna party, okay?
874
00:58:36,808 --> 00:58:38,809
Call me back.
- I'll see. I'll see.
875
00:58:38,810 --> 00:58:40,354
Okay.
876
00:58:45,317 --> 00:58:46,359
every time!
877
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:47,945
Well, as I live and breathe.
878
00:58:49,488 --> 00:58:51,322
- You made it!
879
00:58:51,323 --> 00:58:55,743
Isn't it exquisite?
880
00:58:55,744 --> 00:58:57,995
- Yes, well,
it's certainly very different.
881
00:59:00,082 --> 00:59:01,958
- Uh, what'd you say?
882
00:59:01,959 --> 00:59:03,668
- Congratulations.
883
00:59:03,669 --> 00:59:07,046
- We... so need to catch up.
884
00:59:07,047 --> 00:59:08,881
Let's go find somewhere to talk.
885
00:59:08,882 --> 00:59:10,092
Come on.
886
00:59:10,676 --> 00:59:14,554
Now, your first reaction may be
that the office seems cold.
887
00:59:14,555 --> 00:59:19,393
But we like to think of Cult
as a little more posh.
888
00:59:21,061 --> 00:59:22,521
Wouldn't you say?
889
00:59:23,397 --> 00:59:25,147
- That's some hair.
890
00:59:25,148 --> 00:59:26,649
- Yeah.
891
00:59:26,650 --> 00:59:28,943
Can you believe it?
892
00:59:28,944 --> 00:59:30,863
- I'd have to see it to believe it.
893
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:36,617
- It's...
894
00:59:36,618 --> 00:59:39,412
been hard without you, Edna.
895
00:59:39,413 --> 00:59:41,873
- You seem to have adjusted pretty well.
896
00:59:41,874 --> 00:59:43,666
- I had no choice.
897
00:59:43,667 --> 00:59:45,626
- You always have a choice.
898
00:59:45,627 --> 00:59:47,004
- Not always.
899
00:59:48,380 --> 00:59:49,464
- Okay.
900
00:59:51,967 --> 00:59:54,261
Edna, what is it?
901
00:59:56,805 --> 00:59:58,264
- Grant offered me the world
902
00:59:58,265 --> 01:00:02,518
to turn what was for the people,
by the people, into...
903
01:00:02,519 --> 01:00:03,604
this.
904
01:00:04,354 --> 01:00:05,939
I chose to walk away.
905
01:00:06,857 --> 01:00:08,482
- I almost got evicted.
906
01:00:08,483 --> 01:00:10,318
- I had something for you, Anna.
907
01:00:10,319 --> 01:00:11,986
You never returned my phone calls.
908
01:00:11,987 --> 01:00:13,989
- I have something here.
909
01:00:14,907 --> 01:00:17,491
Finally, after four years.
You want me to start over?
910
01:00:17,492 --> 01:00:18,993
I can't afford that.
911
01:00:18,994 --> 01:00:21,204
- You couldn't afford that hair,
but that didn't stop you.
912
01:00:21,205 --> 01:00:23,290
Mm.
913
01:00:27,002 --> 01:00:29,337
Not with what you paid me.
914
01:00:29,338 --> 01:00:31,339
Ominous music playing
915
01:00:31,340 --> 01:00:33,509
She's giving me my own show.
916
01:00:34,927 --> 01:00:36,553
More than that.
917
01:00:37,262 --> 01:00:42,893
She's making me the centerpiece
of the entire channel.
918
01:00:46,104 --> 01:00:47,773
- Well, I hope it's worth it.
919
01:00:55,030 --> 01:00:56,532
- There's a code.
920
01:00:58,283 --> 01:01:02,578
Uh, 1-8-6-6,
921
01:01:02,579 --> 01:01:04,497
9-8.
922
01:01:06,291 --> 01:01:08,042
- It's still locked.
923
01:01:08,043 --> 01:01:09,253
- Did you press pound?
924
01:01:13,048 --> 01:01:15,383
- Like I said, I hope it's worth it.
925
01:01:15,384 --> 01:01:16,676
- It is.
926
01:01:20,430 --> 01:01:21,514
It is.
927
01:01:32,317 --> 01:01:34,944
- Yeah, you know I could help you
with whatever you need.
928
01:01:34,945 --> 01:01:36,654
Yeah.
929
01:01:36,655 --> 01:01:38,739
Julius!
930
01:01:38,740 --> 01:01:40,951
Mm, mm, mm.
931
01:01:50,002 --> 01:01:51,252
Hey.
932
01:01:51,253 --> 01:01:54,380
Oh, my God. Hey.
933
01:01:54,381 --> 01:01:56,341
Um, you're...
- Germane.
934
01:01:57,968 --> 01:02:00,928
I met you at Sandra's spot, right?
935
01:02:00,929 --> 01:02:03,973
- Yeah, Anna. Anna Bludso, um, with Cult.
936
01:02:03,974 --> 01:02:06,893
- Hey, let me ask you a question.
Have you been back...
937
01:02:06,894 --> 01:02:08,853
there? Virgie's.
938
01:02:08,854 --> 01:02:10,938
- Oh. No.
939
01:02:10,939 --> 01:02:11,939
Why?
940
01:02:11,940 --> 01:02:15,109
- It's just that ever since
she started going there,
941
01:02:15,110 --> 01:02:17,403
Sandra's been acting a little...
942
01:02:17,404 --> 01:02:18,905
Anna.
943
01:02:18,906 --> 01:02:20,281
Anna Bludso.
944
01:02:20,282 --> 01:02:21,950
- Mr. Madison?
945
01:02:22,993 --> 01:02:23,993
Zora?
946
01:02:25,412 --> 01:02:27,496
- You know what?
It's not a big deal.
947
01:02:27,497 --> 01:02:29,999
- No, you should stay and say hi.
948
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,753
- Uh, I don't do suits. I, uh...
949
01:02:34,129 --> 01:02:35,672
I, I'll see you around.
950
01:02:45,057 --> 01:02:47,642
- So, word on the street is
you're our secret weapon.
951
01:02:47,643 --> 01:02:49,936
Where did Zora find you?
952
01:02:49,937 --> 01:02:52,688
- I've worked here for four years.
953
01:02:54,608 --> 01:02:57,735
So, Zora shared with me
your plans for Cult Live. Brilliant.
954
01:02:57,736 --> 01:02:59,904
Now, be prepared. You're gonna get
a little bit of push back
955
01:02:59,905 --> 01:03:02,156
on the host thing. I'm all in.
956
01:03:02,157 --> 01:03:03,658
- Yeah? You are?
957
01:03:03,659 --> 01:03:06,077
- There's no one better to have
as the face of Cult Live.
958
01:03:06,078 --> 01:03:07,828
Wow.
959
01:03:07,829 --> 01:03:10,665
You really mean that?
- Abso-fucking-lutely.
960
01:03:10,666 --> 01:03:13,836
Zora back on screen? Slam dunk.
961
01:03:16,797 --> 01:03:19,591
Very proud of what the two of you
put together. All right?
962
01:03:20,342 --> 01:03:22,009
Excuse me. Rosalyn?
963
01:03:22,010 --> 01:03:24,303
- Anna...
- Zora.
964
01:03:24,304 --> 01:03:26,306
Sorry, excuse me, Anna. This is, um...
965
01:03:29,643 --> 01:03:31,978
Z, I mean, come on. It's your party.
966
01:03:31,979 --> 01:03:33,563
- And you've ruined it.
967
01:03:33,564 --> 01:03:34,982
Where the hell were you?
968
01:03:36,567 --> 01:03:39,068
Hey. Come on.
Hey, don't leave...
969
01:03:39,069 --> 01:03:41,363
Eh, Anna... I mean, Zora!
970
01:03:42,406 --> 01:03:43,615
Shit.
971
01:03:58,547 --> 01:04:00,089
Everything okay?
972
01:04:02,467 --> 01:04:04,011
- You smoking again?
973
01:04:11,185 --> 01:04:13,061
So, um, you good?
974
01:04:16,064 --> 01:04:18,566
Listen, she's a monster, Anna.
975
01:04:18,567 --> 01:04:21,527
She's manipulative, she's possessive,
976
01:04:21,528 --> 01:04:25,532
she's insecure...
- It must be awful, Julius.
977
01:04:28,577 --> 01:04:30,661
- I really fucked things up, huh?
978
01:04:30,662 --> 01:04:32,748
Yeah.
979
01:04:33,290 --> 01:04:34,625
Yeah, I know I did.
980
01:04:35,626 --> 01:04:37,210
Can I tell you something?
981
01:04:37,211 --> 01:04:38,378
Fuck!
982
01:04:39,004 --> 01:04:40,505
- What?
983
01:04:40,506 --> 01:04:44,759
- I miss you. Okay? So, so much. And I...
984
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:48,597
I know it's not fair to you,
and I shouldn't say that, but it's true.
985
01:04:51,183 --> 01:04:52,476
You ever...
986
01:04:53,519 --> 01:04:54,645
miss me?
987
01:04:56,605 --> 01:04:58,148
I know, I shouldn't ask that.
988
01:04:59,650 --> 01:05:00,651
Right?
989
01:05:05,906 --> 01:05:07,324
- You drive?
990
01:05:10,452 --> 01:05:12,579
"Piece of My Love" by Guy
plays on stereo
991
01:05:20,087 --> 01:05:22,130
- Which one? Red or white, Anna?
992
01:05:26,510 --> 01:05:27,719
Anna?
993
01:05:29,638 --> 01:05:32,266
- I used to fantasize about
waking up in your bed.
994
01:05:33,809 --> 01:05:36,602
And I would go to start
packing my things,
995
01:05:36,603 --> 01:05:38,271
and you would grab me.
996
01:05:38,272 --> 01:05:41,023
And you would say,
997
01:05:41,024 --> 01:05:43,818
"Where are you going, Anna?
998
01:05:43,819 --> 01:05:45,988
This is your home, Anna."
999
01:05:47,739 --> 01:05:49,324
That's so stupid, huh?
1000
01:05:54,538 --> 01:05:55,788
I'm gonna go.
1001
01:05:55,789 --> 01:05:59,835
- Hey, hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
1002
01:06:00,752 --> 01:06:02,170
Where you going?
1003
01:06:02,171 --> 01:06:06,132
- Baby, you can have all of me
1004
01:06:06,133 --> 01:06:09,302
'Cause I'm not totally free
1005
01:06:09,303 --> 01:06:13,098
I can't tell you everything
that's going on
1006
01:06:14,057 --> 01:06:15,766
Baby
1007
01:06:15,767 --> 01:06:18,895
There's a few things in my past
1008
01:06:18,896 --> 01:06:21,981
That should not be explained
1009
01:06:21,982 --> 01:06:24,609
I'm asking you, baby
1010
01:06:24,610 --> 01:06:27,528
Be with me for a little while
1011
01:06:27,529 --> 01:06:30,072
Please, hush
1012
01:06:31,408 --> 01:06:33,701
No questions asked
1013
01:06:33,702 --> 01:06:35,454
Pick your weapon.
1014
01:06:36,496 --> 01:06:37,830
Oh!
1015
01:06:39,583 --> 01:06:41,751
That's it?
1016
01:06:41,752 --> 01:06:43,377
- I've got an early morning.
1017
01:06:43,378 --> 01:06:44,879
- Mm.
1018
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:46,839
I'll be looking like Zorro.
1019
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,258
- Or I'll be the Phantom of Your Ass.
- Come on.
1020
01:06:49,259 --> 01:06:51,594
- Did you miss that?
- Yeah. You miss this?
1021
01:06:53,805 --> 01:06:55,306
Fuck.
1022
01:06:56,433 --> 01:06:58,726
- Last time you were inside of me...
- Uh-huh...
1023
01:06:58,727 --> 01:07:00,895
Were you thinking about her?
1024
01:07:00,896 --> 01:07:04,065
- Who?
- Zora. Were you thinking of her?
1025
01:07:04,066 --> 01:07:05,691
Huh? Wha...
1026
01:07:05,692 --> 01:07:07,652
Oh, Anna.
1027
01:07:07,653 --> 01:07:09,028
Your eyes.
1028
01:07:09,029 --> 01:07:10,905
You never looked so beautiful.
1029
01:07:13,075 --> 01:07:16,035
And what about the blonde from RMV?
1030
01:07:16,036 --> 01:07:18,162
Huh? What?
I don't know what you're talking...
1031
01:07:18,163 --> 01:07:20,289
From the party. The blonde.
1032
01:07:20,290 --> 01:07:22,500
- Oh. Where are you going with this?
1033
01:07:22,501 --> 01:07:23,710
I want to know...
1034
01:07:25,379 --> 01:07:27,964
- I'm the best...
- The best...
1035
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,885
Yeah, you never
could resist a little bit of rope, huh?
1036
01:07:32,886 --> 01:07:34,554
- Guess not.
- Fucking ride that dick.
1037
01:07:34,555 --> 01:07:36,639
Ride that shit hard...
- I'm the best?
1038
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:38,975
- Fuckin' best, baby.
- Best you ever had?
1039
01:07:38,976 --> 01:07:41,185
- Best I fucking had!
1040
01:07:44,356 --> 01:07:46,566
Then why did you leave?
1041
01:07:46,567 --> 01:07:49,819
- Could... Could you chill out, baby?
It's a little sensitive down there.
1042
01:07:49,820 --> 01:07:51,404
I can relate.
1043
01:07:54,825 --> 01:07:56,617
Aah! Aah!
1044
01:08:17,514 --> 01:08:19,599
I did what the box told me.
1045
01:08:31,945 --> 01:08:33,614
tense music playing
1046
01:09:03,185 --> 01:09:05,604
- Hello?
- Hey, Linda?
1047
01:09:06,188 --> 01:09:07,855
Hey, it's Anna.
1048
01:09:07,856 --> 01:09:10,400
Uh, you know that book? Unc's book?
1049
01:09:11,276 --> 01:09:14,278
I never finished the moss girl story.
Could you read it to me?
1050
01:09:14,279 --> 01:09:15,530
- Right now?
1051
01:09:15,531 --> 01:09:17,573
Just from the part
where she gets the wig.
1052
01:09:17,574 --> 01:09:20,451
You know,
it helps me fall asleep.
1053
01:09:20,452 --> 01:09:23,621
- That's... not weird at all.
1054
01:09:23,622 --> 01:09:27,250
So, slave girl... Moss...
Blah, blah, blah. All right...
1055
01:09:27,251 --> 01:09:29,043
"She made herself a wig.
1056
01:09:29,044 --> 01:09:32,505
"She sees herself in the mirror
and she thinks she looks good.
1057
01:09:32,506 --> 01:09:36,676
"Almost like someone else
was staring back at her. Someone was.
1058
01:09:36,677 --> 01:09:40,263
"She came across a slave crying
on account of massa's whip,
1059
01:09:40,264 --> 01:09:44,517
"and looked down and see her wig
start drinking the blood from his wound.
1060
01:09:44,518 --> 01:09:47,228
"'What kind of moss is this?' she say.
1061
01:09:47,229 --> 01:09:50,439
"But with his dying breath,
he tell her, 'That ain't moss.
1062
01:09:50,440 --> 01:09:53,401
"'That's the hair of witches
from the before time.
1063
01:09:53,402 --> 01:09:57,613
"'They need blood to grow strong enough
to take over a person's body.
1064
01:09:57,614 --> 01:10:00,117
"'Then, they can come back to the world.'
1065
01:10:01,159 --> 01:10:02,785
"She ain't want to believe him,
1066
01:10:02,786 --> 01:10:05,454
"but then she feel her hair
wrap around her neck,
1067
01:10:05,455 --> 01:10:07,039
"and strangle her.
1068
01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:09,876
"Even now, if you still see her
walking around them woods,
1069
01:10:09,877 --> 01:10:12,670
"remember, it's only her body.
1070
01:10:12,671 --> 01:10:15,090
The witches take turns in her head."
1071
01:10:23,182 --> 01:10:27,226
soft R&B music playing
1072
01:10:43,327 --> 01:10:44,703
Welcome, honey.
1073
01:10:45,954 --> 01:10:48,331
- Thank you for taking me last minute.
1074
01:10:48,332 --> 01:10:49,957
- All good.
1075
01:10:49,958 --> 01:10:51,793
I had an opening, like I said.
1076
01:10:52,669 --> 01:10:55,046
This gon' take a while
to get all this out.
1077
01:10:55,047 --> 01:10:57,673
- first of all, okay,
'cause I know who my daddy is.
1078
01:10:57,674 --> 01:10:58,966
- Couple hours.
1079
01:10:58,967 --> 01:11:00,510
- Okay.
- Okay.
1080
01:11:02,513 --> 01:11:03,846
All right, Coral.
1081
01:11:03,847 --> 01:11:06,642
Miss Thing better be ready,
'cause I don't have all night.
1082
01:11:08,310 --> 01:11:09,436
Well...
1083
01:11:11,063 --> 01:11:13,232
- I didn't know you went here, Edna.
1084
01:11:15,108 --> 01:11:19,403
- Crowned is Black Hollywood's
secret weapon.
1085
01:11:19,404 --> 01:11:21,197
'Course, you'd know that if
1086
01:11:21,198 --> 01:11:23,867
you didn't have a thing
about people being in your hair.
1087
01:11:25,202 --> 01:11:26,744
If that were ever true.
1088
01:11:26,745 --> 01:11:29,622
- She's fucking killing me.
- Aisha will be out in a minute.
1089
01:11:29,623 --> 01:11:32,583
- No, I do. I have to go.
I told you that.
1090
01:11:32,584 --> 01:11:34,919
- It's kind of funny seeing you here.
1091
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:37,296
- Damn, this is in here tight.
1092
01:11:37,297 --> 01:11:39,507
- Ow!
- Okay, hey, hey.
1093
01:11:39,508 --> 01:11:41,133
Don't go there with that.
1094
01:11:41,134 --> 01:11:44,471
- I'm sorry. It hurts so bad.
1095
01:11:45,097 --> 01:11:47,723
I fucked up.
- Jesus, Anna.
1096
01:11:47,724 --> 01:11:49,184
It's just hair.
1097
01:11:51,144 --> 01:11:53,313
- Edna, I'm so sorry.
1098
01:11:54,314 --> 01:11:56,900
You were my friend and my mentor.
1099
01:11:58,777 --> 01:12:00,737
I just got caught up. I got...
1100
01:12:01,405 --> 01:12:02,947
really caught up.
1101
01:12:02,948 --> 01:12:04,408
I'm still caught up.
1102
01:12:06,451 --> 01:12:07,619
Ow.
1103
01:12:10,163 --> 01:12:11,665
- You know I talk a lot of shit.
1104
01:12:12,541 --> 01:12:14,000
But the truth is,
1105
01:12:14,001 --> 01:12:17,962
I can't fault you for doing
whatever it takes
1106
01:12:17,963 --> 01:12:20,674
to get where they keep trying
to keep us from getting.
1107
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:23,718
And fuck you. The hair looks good.
1108
01:12:24,845 --> 01:12:26,470
That's probably why I'm so mad.
1109
01:12:26,471 --> 01:12:28,931
You know, in a perfect world,
1110
01:12:28,932 --> 01:12:32,268
a woman would be able to wear her hair
the fuck the way she wants to.
1111
01:12:32,269 --> 01:12:34,146
- Yeah. Yeah.
1112
01:12:34,980 --> 01:12:38,441
- Well, if she wants another weave,
I ain't the one.
1113
01:12:41,361 --> 01:12:43,362
- Can you put it up in a bun, please?
1114
01:12:43,363 --> 01:12:44,614
What's that, darlin'?
1115
01:12:44,615 --> 01:12:48,117
- Uh, just put it up as tight as you can.
1116
01:12:48,118 --> 01:12:50,996
Uh, I don't want to yank it.
I'm tender headed.
1117
01:12:52,497 --> 01:12:54,582
Girl, I'm so sorry.
1118
01:12:54,583 --> 01:12:58,878
Y'all, this surfer nigga from Venice
got me so twisted. Mm.
1119
01:12:58,879 --> 01:13:02,006
- I don't know. You got a surfer
colonizing your lands?
1120
01:13:02,007 --> 01:13:03,133
Oh, Lord.
1121
01:13:03,842 --> 01:13:05,469
- Be right back.
- Jesus.
1122
01:13:16,355 --> 01:13:17,396
- Anna...
1123
01:13:18,941 --> 01:13:20,900
Oh, shit!
1124
01:13:24,988 --> 01:13:26,030
Aah!
1125
01:13:26,031 --> 01:13:27,366
Ominous music playing
1126
01:13:45,801 --> 01:13:48,428
ominous music playing
1127
01:13:50,722 --> 01:13:52,223
- Oh! Aah!
1128
01:13:52,224 --> 01:13:53,642
No!
1129
01:14:03,735 --> 01:14:06,279
It's Zora.
Can't come to the phone right now,
1130
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:07,697
so please leave a message.
1131
01:14:07,698 --> 01:14:10,032
Truth be told,
I'm probably still at the office.
1132
01:14:12,953 --> 01:14:15,914
intense music playing
1133
01:14:47,696 --> 01:14:49,489
Oh, Sheryl!
1134
01:14:53,994 --> 01:14:55,204
Zora?
1135
01:14:58,498 --> 01:14:59,666
- Anna.
1136
01:15:01,293 --> 01:15:03,045
Something bad has happened.
1137
01:15:04,963 --> 01:15:06,464
- Oh, I'm aware.
1138
01:15:06,465 --> 01:15:08,175
- It's happening to you, too.
1139
01:15:11,220 --> 01:15:12,679
- What do you mean?
1140
01:15:13,430 --> 01:15:15,015
- How many lives has it taken?
1141
01:15:15,557 --> 01:15:18,434
It's so strange.
1142
01:15:18,435 --> 01:15:20,394
One moment you think
you recognize yourself,
1143
01:15:20,395 --> 01:15:23,982
and then the next
there's this rush of hunger.
1144
01:15:24,858 --> 01:15:28,319
Sheryl came in. All kind of job demands.
1145
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:32,907
Spelling out all of her strengths.
If only timing was one of them.
1146
01:15:32,908 --> 01:15:35,326
- This is happening to other people?
1147
01:15:35,327 --> 01:15:37,537
- Let me check with my killer weave
support group
1148
01:15:37,538 --> 01:15:39,038
and find out their sentiments.
1149
01:15:39,039 --> 01:15:41,833
I don't fucking know
what's happening with everyone else!
1150
01:15:41,834 --> 01:15:43,501
Now, who else have you told about this?
1151
01:15:43,502 --> 01:15:45,169
- No one!
- Of course not!
1152
01:15:45,170 --> 01:15:46,671
No one would fuckin' believe it!
1153
01:15:46,672 --> 01:15:48,798
- That rush of hunger.
1154
01:15:48,799 --> 01:15:51,092
How often do you get it?
1155
01:15:51,093 --> 01:15:55,138
- At first, it was like, once in a while.
Then it started to be constant.
1156
01:15:56,515 --> 01:15:58,975
And some days it doesn't stop.
1157
01:15:58,976 --> 01:16:01,769
- Do you get the dreams, too?
1158
01:16:01,770 --> 01:16:03,771
- Oh, my God.
1159
01:16:03,772 --> 01:16:06,566
It's... It's trying to get in here.
1160
01:16:06,567 --> 01:16:09,319
- It wants to take over us.
1161
01:16:12,322 --> 01:16:15,116
- Fuck it. It's just hair.
1162
01:16:15,117 --> 01:16:17,451
Just... It's just hair.
1163
01:16:17,452 --> 01:16:19,932
- It won't let you! It won't let you!
- It's fucking just hair!
1164
01:16:23,333 --> 01:16:25,210
Aah! Aah!
1165
01:16:33,677 --> 01:16:36,180
dramatic music playing
1166
01:17:00,579 --> 01:17:01,914
Unc?
1167
01:17:05,918 --> 01:17:07,211
Anna.
1168
01:17:11,590 --> 01:17:14,467
- What are you doing?
- I couldn't sleep. What's your excuse?
1169
01:17:14,468 --> 01:17:16,720
And how often do you come by in the...
1170
01:17:17,721 --> 01:17:19,097
dead of night?
1171
01:17:20,557 --> 01:17:22,725
Are you looking for anything
in particular?
1172
01:17:22,726 --> 01:17:25,478
- Uh, the, um...
1173
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:27,271
uh, moss haired girl.
1174
01:17:27,272 --> 01:17:29,273
Anything hair-related, really.
1175
01:17:29,274 --> 01:17:32,902
- Yeah, so, this one has a few
hair stories in it.
1176
01:17:32,903 --> 01:17:35,238
It's mostly from American Indian tribes.
1177
01:17:35,239 --> 01:17:40,117
There are some tribes who believe that
a person's hair holds all their thoughts,
1178
01:17:40,118 --> 01:17:41,953
even after death.
1179
01:17:41,954 --> 01:17:44,789
The idea being that
one must have pure intentions,
1180
01:17:44,790 --> 01:17:47,792
so that enemies can't use
the hair they leave behind
1181
01:17:47,793 --> 01:17:49,085
for evil spells.
1182
01:17:49,086 --> 01:17:52,839
"First, there was only the
wild beasts and the red man."
1183
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,758
Do you think the moss tree story
could somehow be related?
1184
01:17:55,759 --> 01:18:00,513
Like, uh, maybe the hair in the tree
was enchanted, or...
1185
01:18:00,514 --> 01:18:01,514
- I don't know.
1186
01:18:02,432 --> 01:18:03,808
It's fun to think about.
1187
01:18:03,809 --> 01:18:06,978
- But didn't you say that
the native tribes of this land
1188
01:18:06,979 --> 01:18:09,814
and the ones brought here were wise
about things we've forgotten?
1189
01:18:09,815 --> 01:18:12,316
Things we consider... magic?
1190
01:18:12,317 --> 01:18:15,361
- Sure. But the minute you start
supposing and what if-ing,
1191
01:18:15,362 --> 01:18:18,739
and now you've, you've, you've
stereotyped a whole group of people.
1192
01:18:18,740 --> 01:18:22,034
- If there's something that
they were trying to warn us about,
1193
01:18:22,035 --> 01:18:24,412
or even, if there's something real, then...
1194
01:18:24,413 --> 01:18:25,873
- We'd never know.
1195
01:18:27,416 --> 01:18:31,378
Conquerors don't write much
about the people they conquer.
1196
01:18:31,837 --> 01:18:33,297
What is this about?
1197
01:18:36,175 --> 01:18:38,218
- I'm doing a segment. Um...
1198
01:18:39,178 --> 01:18:41,345
inspired by you.
1199
01:18:41,346 --> 01:18:44,224
A little hair history thing.
1200
01:18:46,810 --> 01:18:48,061
- That's very sweet.
1201
01:18:49,521 --> 01:18:53,066
Um, time to put this old man to bed.
Past my bedtime, so...
1202
01:18:54,735 --> 01:18:56,319
Always good to see you, honey.
1203
01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:58,070
- You, too.
- Mm.
1204
01:19:01,617 --> 01:19:03,076
- You look...
1205
01:19:04,077 --> 01:19:05,120
beautiful.
1206
01:19:11,168 --> 01:19:13,377
Hey, it's Anna.
1207
01:19:13,378 --> 01:19:15,379
Leave a message.
1208
01:19:15,380 --> 01:19:17,256
Anna, it's Rosalyn.
1209
01:19:17,257 --> 01:19:18,758
It's almost noon. Where are you?
1210
01:19:27,935 --> 01:19:31,897
- Ooh. Not today, Satan. Not today.
1211
01:19:47,204 --> 01:19:49,957
Anna! Oh, thank God.
1212
01:19:50,582 --> 01:19:53,417
No one's been able to reach Zora.
Have you heard from her?
1213
01:19:55,546 --> 01:19:57,005
No.
1214
01:19:58,841 --> 01:20:00,508
Anna.
1215
01:20:00,509 --> 01:20:02,426
Honey, are you okay?
- Yeah.
1216
01:20:02,427 --> 01:20:05,429
- No, I know. It's been so crazy.
1217
01:20:05,430 --> 01:20:06,431
Anna...
1218
01:20:07,599 --> 01:20:09,101
We need a host.
1219
01:20:10,811 --> 01:20:12,520
- You sure about the belt?
1220
01:20:12,521 --> 01:20:15,357
- It's pristine. Nice heels.
1221
01:20:15,816 --> 01:20:18,110
- Thank you.
- It's time.
1222
01:20:23,115 --> 01:20:25,242
"It's My Prerogative"
by Bobby Brown playing
1223
01:20:27,369 --> 01:20:28,995
- I can do what I wanna do
1224
01:20:28,996 --> 01:20:30,955
What's up, America?
1225
01:20:30,956 --> 01:20:33,958
I'm Anna Bludso, your host for today.
1226
01:20:33,959 --> 01:20:36,669
Now, if you've been watching
the promos,
1227
01:20:36,670 --> 01:20:39,255
I know you were expecting
someone a little taller,
1228
01:20:39,256 --> 01:20:41,257
a little more model-esque, but...
1229
01:20:41,258 --> 01:20:42,925
Psych! You got me!
1230
01:20:42,926 --> 01:20:46,012
Okay, all right, all right.
1231
01:20:46,013 --> 01:20:49,557
Welcome to Cult Live!
1232
01:20:58,859 --> 01:21:02,153
- All the fans out here are going crazy.
1233
01:21:02,154 --> 01:21:04,697
You know why? 'Cause they want to know
who's got the number one spot.
1234
01:21:04,698 --> 01:21:08,451
- Okay. Well, we're down to our top two.
1235
01:21:08,452 --> 01:21:11,120
- Who got it?
- What haven't we seen yet?
1236
01:21:11,121 --> 01:21:13,331
- Well, you know, we ain't seen
"Break U" by The Fellas yet.
1237
01:21:13,332 --> 01:21:15,750
And you know I mess with The Fellas.
Sometimes.
1238
01:21:15,751 --> 01:21:21,172
- Okay. Our number two video is...
1239
01:21:21,173 --> 01:21:23,716
"Break U!"
"Break U" playing on TV
1240
01:21:23,717 --> 01:21:26,511
Which means our number one video...
1241
01:21:26,512 --> 01:21:29,430
Wait, wait, wait!
Now, everyone at Cult knows
1242
01:21:29,431 --> 01:21:33,935
Anna is Sandra's biggest fan
in the whole world.
1243
01:21:33,936 --> 01:21:38,022
So, we thought we'd do
something special...
1244
01:21:38,023 --> 01:21:40,234
- All right, sis. Do you mind?
1245
01:21:41,652 --> 01:21:44,196
And the number one video is...
1246
01:21:45,697 --> 01:21:47,114
Sorry Fellas...
1247
01:21:47,115 --> 01:21:49,116
"I Get It," by me!
1248
01:21:49,117 --> 01:21:51,328
"I Get It" playing
1249
01:21:59,586 --> 01:22:00,838
- Get it!
1250
01:22:01,839 --> 01:22:03,674
And... commercial.
1251
01:22:08,971 --> 01:22:12,140
tense music playing
1252
01:22:13,642 --> 01:22:16,019
Goodnight. See you all tomorrow.
1253
01:22:31,660 --> 01:22:33,119
Zora.
1254
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:34,579
Anna.
1255
01:22:34,580 --> 01:22:36,874
- Hey.
- Hey, girl.
1256
01:22:37,541 --> 01:22:39,876
Wow. You were...
1257
01:22:39,877 --> 01:22:42,962
great.
- Ros, did you see Zora?
1258
01:22:42,963 --> 01:22:45,965
- No, Anna. She's totally M. I. A.
1259
01:22:45,966 --> 01:22:48,050
- I saw her looking out of that window.
1260
01:22:48,051 --> 01:22:51,387
- I've been organizing her office
for hours. She's not here.
1261
01:22:51,388 --> 01:22:53,431
- Ros, I saw her.
1262
01:22:53,432 --> 01:22:55,057
- Anna...
1263
01:22:55,058 --> 01:22:56,267
there's something...
1264
01:23:09,781 --> 01:23:10,990
- Ros?
1265
01:23:20,417 --> 01:23:21,460
Ro...
1266
01:25:18,577 --> 01:25:19,912
What's the code?
1267
01:26:18,763 --> 01:26:20,638
Help me!
1268
01:26:20,639 --> 01:26:22,933
Somebody help me! No!
1269
01:26:43,871 --> 01:26:44,996
Fuck!
1270
01:27:03,557 --> 01:27:06,142
Oh, shit! What the fuck!
1271
01:27:06,143 --> 01:27:07,560
Come on, man. I ain't one of them!
1272
01:27:07,561 --> 01:27:09,020
- You're not?
- No!
1273
01:27:09,021 --> 01:27:10,438
- What were you doing upstairs?
1274
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:11,939
- I thought motherfuckers
was going up there to celebrate,
1275
01:27:11,940 --> 01:27:13,024
so shit, I went, too.
1276
01:27:13,025 --> 01:27:15,443
Shit, I was trying to blend in with these
zombie bitches to keep 'em at bay.
1277
01:27:15,444 --> 01:27:17,236
- Brook, you gotta take this out.
1278
01:27:17,237 --> 01:27:19,530
I don't know the last time
you went to Virgie's...
1279
01:27:19,531 --> 01:27:21,782
- Virgie's?
Bitch, I ain't got $500 to give her!
1280
01:27:21,783 --> 01:27:24,035
Especially when La'Neka
hook a sister up for $250!
1281
01:27:24,036 --> 01:27:25,953
Look, I cannot die today, okay?
1282
01:27:25,954 --> 01:27:27,371
I haven't been to church
in like, 15 years.
1283
01:27:27,372 --> 01:27:29,665
Aah!
1284
01:27:29,666 --> 01:27:31,501
Aah!
1285
01:27:31,502 --> 01:27:32,336
Anna!
1286
01:27:32,337 --> 01:27:33,817
Shit.
1287
01:27:44,932 --> 01:27:47,559
Aah!
This bitch is trying to kill me!
1288
01:27:54,066 --> 01:27:55,609
Anna, cut this bitch!
1289
01:28:18,298 --> 01:28:21,093
ominous music playing
1290
01:28:55,961 --> 01:28:58,087
Bitch, what is you doin'?
1291
01:28:58,088 --> 01:28:59,547
I done seen all the Jason movies.
1292
01:28:59,548 --> 01:29:01,174
You ain't gotta check to see
if she's dead!
1293
01:29:01,175 --> 01:29:02,342
Come on!
1294
01:29:07,556 --> 01:29:09,390
I should have died back there.
1295
01:29:09,391 --> 01:29:10,892
But I'll tell you what.
1296
01:29:10,893 --> 01:29:15,479
That crazy hoe had them blue eyes
directed on you. Okay?
1297
01:29:15,480 --> 01:29:17,880
Come on, come on, come on, come on...
1298
01:29:19,276 --> 01:29:22,195
Uh, h... Hey. Hey, hey, girl.
1299
01:29:22,196 --> 01:29:23,487
Hey.
1300
01:29:23,488 --> 01:29:24,864
Did you forget your coat?
1301
01:30:12,287 --> 01:30:13,287
Shit.
1302
01:30:15,916 --> 01:30:17,042
Shit.
1303
01:30:39,356 --> 01:30:42,901
Please, please, please.
Please, God. Please, somebody.
1304
01:30:43,527 --> 01:30:45,237
What the fuck?
1305
01:30:52,578 --> 01:30:53,912
Okay, okay, okay.
1306
01:33:19,933 --> 01:33:22,227
"Porcine albumin."
1307
01:33:32,112 --> 01:33:33,363
Pig's blood?
1308
01:33:36,700 --> 01:33:38,744
This is a fucking appetizer.
1309
01:33:41,748 --> 01:33:44,707
Oh, love your hair! Super cute.
1310
01:33:44,708 --> 01:33:46,334
- Thanks. It's a little tight,
1311
01:33:46,335 --> 01:33:50,004
but hopefully my boyfriend
fucks it loose tonight.
1312
01:33:50,005 --> 01:33:51,548
I'm just kidding. I need it to last.
1313
01:33:54,843 --> 01:33:57,136
- Okay, here's the last of it.
1314
01:33:57,137 --> 01:33:59,847
At least for me, it is.
Girl, I can't carry no more of your stuff.
1315
01:33:59,848 --> 01:34:01,682
What'd you pack in there? Bricks?
1316
01:34:01,683 --> 01:34:04,519
Oh, and before I forget to tell you,
1317
01:34:04,520 --> 01:34:07,522
I'm gonna be late for dinner tonight.
I'm doing something super top secret.
1318
01:34:07,523 --> 01:34:09,733
Can't tell you. Okay, fine.
Don't pull my leg...
1319
01:34:25,749 --> 01:34:28,668
"Even now, if you see the moss haired girl
1320
01:34:28,669 --> 01:34:30,586

Anna.
1337
01:35:49,499 --> 01:35:51,209
- Um, what'd you say?
1338
01:35:51,210 --> 01:35:52,793
- I said I may be late for dinner.
1339
01:35:52,794 --> 01:35:54,253
I finally got in at Virgie's!
1340
01:35:54,254 --> 01:35:57,215
Girl, I am so over this
Creamy Crack relaxer!
1341
01:35:57,216 --> 01:35:59,717
Just put someone else's hair
on my head and call it a day!
1342
01:35:59,718 --> 01:36:00,885
- Linda!

"I Get It" playing

Oh, my God
1347
01:36:16,693 --> 01:36:18,736
I remember the time
1348
01:36:18,737 --> 01:36:21,405
You and I we fell in love
1349
01:36:21,406 --> 01:36:23,157
Nearly lost my mind
1350
01:36:23,158 --> 01:36:27,370
Every time I felt your touch
1351
01:36:27,371 --> 01:36:32,750
Couldn't wait to get you alone,
just for me
1352
01:36:32,751 --> 01:36:34,460
For me, for me
1353
01:36:34,461 --> 01:36:36,629
I get it
1354
01:36:36,630 --> 01:36:38,589
You don't want my love
1355
01:36:38,590 --> 01:36:40,758
I get it
1356
01:36:40,759 --> 01:36:43,052
I'm not the one
that you're thinking of

01:36:43,053 --> 01:36:45,304
I've been upsetted

And I regret it

Ooh-hoo, but I get it

You don't want my love
1361
01:36:52,521 --> 01:36:54,397
I get it
1362
01:36:54,398 --> 01:36:56,649
I'll be the one
that you're thinking of

I've been upsetted

You will want my love, my love...

"One Night" playing
1369
01:37:16,170 --> 01:37:19,589
- If eyes could undress me
1370
01:37:19,590 --> 01:37:23,676
- Are you looking at me?
- I'd be down to my bra
1371
01:37:23,677 --> 01:37:24,886
- I don't have anything on

Hiroshima
1374
01:37:32,352 --> 01:37:38,107
And it's dangerous
to feel this madness
1375
01:37:38,108 --> 01:37:41,736
I don't know if I can take it
1376
01:37:41,737 --> 01:37:43,988
It's dangerous
1377
01:37:43,989 --> 01:37:47,158
To feel the way I feel
1378
01:37:47,159 --> 01:37:52,247
After only one night
1379
01:37:52,873 --> 01:37:55,416
What's happening to me

One night

01:37:56,585 --> 01:37:59,170
- Oh, yeah, It happened suddenly

- Happened suddenly
- One night

One night

Why you wanna kick it
with a man like me, ow
1389
01:38:23,070 --> 01:38:24,987
That's why they call me a G
1390
01:38:24,988 --> 01:38:27,073
Never one-on-one,
maybe two, maybe three

Maybe fo', now you're askin' for mo'

Don't wanna break your heart,
I gotta show you the door

No, please do not go

Thinking that I'm not down to roll,
I do
1396
01:38:42,214 --> 01:38:44,423
I do like you
1397
01:38:44,424 --> 01:38:47,802
Just not the way
that you want me to
1398
01:38:47,803 --> 01:38:51,305
I still want you
1399
01:38:51,306 --> 01:38:55,810
It's not your vibe,
It's chill to be with you
1400
01:38:55,811 --> 01:38:57,937
It's just that I
1401
01:38:57,938 --> 01:39:00,982
I'm not in love with you
1402
01:39:00,983 --> 01:39:03,484
You just gotta understand
1403
01:39:03,485 --> 01:39:06,028
That someone else is your man
1404
01:39:06,029 --> 01:39:09,323
Girl, you know that you're another's
dream come true
1405
01:39:09,324 --> 01:39:12,743
Don't wanna break you, break you
1406
01:39:12,744 --> 01:39:14,370
Couldn't stop from caring
1407
01:39:14,371 --> 01:39:16,372
If you wanted to
1408
01:39:16,373 --> 01:39:19,751
It kills me to break you, break you
1409
01:39:27,301 --> 01:39:30,262
"That Dress That I Like" playing
1410
01:39:34,349 --> 01:39:39,188
- Go on and wear
that dress that I like
1411
01:39:40,898 --> 01:39:45,943
So I can rip it off you tonight
1412
01:39:45,944 --> 01:39:50,990
Girl, yeah, it's the type of party
1413
01:39:50,991 --> 01:39:53,868
You got me feeling rowdy
1414
01:39:53,869 --> 01:39:57,705
I want to place a life
1415
01:39:57,706 --> 01:40:01,000
Deep inside you
1416
01:40:01,001 --> 01:40:03,711
I buy you chocolates and roses
1417
01:40:03,712 --> 01:40:07,173
But I never played you, I never
1418
01:40:07,174 --> 01:40:10,510
C ome on and stop the supposes
1419
01:40:10,511 --> 01:40:12,970
What did I ever do
1420
01:40:12,971 --> 01:40:15,515
But take care of you
1421
01:40:15,516 --> 01:40:17,934
If you think you want the best
1422
01:40:17,935 --> 01:40:21,062
Baby, here's the test
1423
01:40:21,063 --> 01:40:23,773
Girl, just say yes, just say yes
1424
01:40:23,774 --> 01:40:28,069
And yes, yes
1425
01:40:28,070 --> 01:40:32,574
Go on and wear that dress that I like
1426
01:40:34,201 --> 01:40:38,705
So I can rip it off you tonight
1427
01:40:39,248 --> 01:40:41,165
Girl
1428
01:40:41,166 --> 01:40:44,377
Yeah, it's the type of party
1429
01:40:44,378 --> 01:40:47,088
You got me feeling rowdy
1430
01:40:47,089 --> 01:40:50,967
I want to place a life
1431
01:40:50,968 --> 01:40:55,514
Deep inside you
1432
01:40:58,684 --> 01:41:02,020
"So You Know" playing
1433
01:41:03,605 --> 01:41:07,192
- Sure am sorry to see you so unhappy
1434
01:41:08,026 --> 01:41:09,902
What did she do wrong
1435
01:41:09,903 --> 01:41:12,530
What did she do, tell me
1436
01:41:12,531 --> 01:41:16,201
Break her promises,
lead your heart carelessly
1437
01:41:16,994 --> 01:41:21,290
You thought she was your strength,
but she left you weak
1438
01:41:22,165 --> 01:41:25,294
I got no advice to give
1439
01:41:26,545 --> 01:41:29,839
This is the path
that you chose to fill
1440
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:33,926
I don't mean to tell you so,
but I will just let you know
1441
01:41:33,927 --> 01:41:37,806
That I would have loved
to love you
1442
01:41:38,182 --> 01:41:40,267
Just so you know
1443
01:41:40,517 --> 01:41:42,686
Just so you know
1444
01:41:43,604 --> 01:41:45,813
I would have loved you better
1445
01:41:45,814 --> 01:41:49,025
I would have loved you, just FYI
1446
01:41:49,026 --> 01:41:51,486
You could have been my guy
1447
01:41:52,571 --> 01:41:54,864
I would have loved you better
1448
01:41:54,865 --> 01:41:57,659
I would have loved you
