[ralph angel] previously
on queen sugar...

[woman] you're now
officially on the roster

as permanent foster parents
in the state of louisiana.

You're standing for
us, for your father.

My pop just wanted me to excel,
be some kind of a student.

- You felt like you disappointed him.
- Definitely.

Would you move to
africa with me?

[nova] dominic, this is
your destiny, not mine.

Mom, I got a job offer.

- Plan is to drop out of xavier.
- [charley] what?

I'm not asking for
your permission.

- I think we should tell him.
- [darla] he already knows

you're not his
biological father. No.

You know they're gonna
auction off his land?

[ralph] our land's right
in the middle of it.

[by your side by sade adu plays]

- Yeah!
- [all cheering]

the man of the hour.
Our very own superstar.

Saint jo's newest,
blackest, beautifulest

school board member,
mr. Hollywood.

Drinks on him!

Woo!

[by your side continues playing]

Under the moonlight.

[laughs slyly]

hi.

Feel like coming over?

believe my lies are truth ?

? why won't you eat

myself I think of only you ?

? and when I touch
someone else ?

? no one is faithful ?

? I am weak, I'll go astray ?

? forgive me for my ways ?

? no one is faithful ?

morning.

Morning.

- You're up early.
- Yeah.

I... [clears throat] I
don't mean to rush you,

but I'm heading out
to my aunt martha's.

Martha's cousin, right?

You remember that?

[chuckles softly]

I remember.

She passed a couple
of months ago.

She didn't leave a will, but she signed her
house over to a local church, apparently,

so I want to pack up her things

before they put the
house up for sale

or whatever they're
gonna do with it.

The... The church, I mean.

I've been so disconnected
from the way I used to be.

[voice shaking] I used to be
able to hold someone's hands

and...

Understand things.

I remember. I don't
think it's left you.

It's way too deep.

It's a deep part of who you are.

It's not gone, you'll find it.

[sighs wearily]

I'm gonna be heading
out in 20 minutes.

Okay?

Okay.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[faithful by me'shell
ndeg�ocello continues]

? no one is faithful ?

[hollywood] somebody in shreveport
registered it for auction.

I don't know who we're gonna
ask for when we get there,

but we're gonna
wing it. [chuckles]

yeah, well, I hope we don't find
somebody that want that land or lots.

Damn landrys.

Hunting ralph angel just
like they did ernest.

Yeah, man.

Hey, prosper, I know it's hard for
you to watch that land go, too.

Wish there was...

I was able to have done more.

More I could still do.

[bell dinging]

this is the perfect, most
amazing, incredible gift.

- Thank you.
- Mmm-hmm.

I have not had a manicure
in a very long time.

- Least I could do.
- Mmm.

Gramp's allowance just
sits in my drawer,

- you know?
- Okay.

Look after your sister
while I'm in there.

- I will.
- See you later, babe.

- Buh-bye. Have fun.
- [tru gurgles]

- take care of tru and blue.
- Bye. I'll take care of her. She good.

- Hi.
- Hey.

- I liked that.
- [chuckles]

what's been going on at school?

Nothing.

Man of many words. Ain't
got nothing to say?

[chuckles] come on, what's up?

It's fine.

I just don't... Fit in.

Somebody been mean to you?

Blue.

Somebody bullying you?

No, it's not a bullying
situation or anything.

It's... [sighs] it's just that
I don't really vibe with them,

and they don't really get me.

Guess we grew up differently.

Look, I know you might
want to fit in sometimes,

but there ain't nothing
wrong with being different.

Just 'cause you raised different

don't mean you don't belong
like all them other kids,

and don't forget it.

Blue.

You know your mama went
to the same school?

Biological father did, too.

- What?
- Yeah.

I think you should know.

I've been finding
out a lot about him.

I don't want to hide
something from you.

Okay.

Him and mommy went
to school together.

Then we fell in love.

She said I could
be blue's daddy.

What about him?
What did he say?

He said, "okay."

[sighs wearily]

'cause he didn't want to be.

That make you feel
some type of way?

[sighs]

I didn't really know him
so it doesn't matter,

and he didn't really know me, so it's
not like it's personal or anything.

Guess he just didn't
want to be a father.

I did.

A lot.

If you ask me, I think
I got pretty lucky.

- I think I got lucky, too.
- Oh, yeah?

Come here.

Look.

Point is, you belong at that
school and anywhere you want to be.

Don't ever forget it.

Remember your roots, okay?

I think I'm a pretty
interesting person.

- I think so, too.
- [chuckles]

- from an interesting place.
- [chuckles]

[tru giggles]

- [chuckles]
- what's so funny, huh?

- You know it, tru.
- [tru laughs]

what you laughin' at,
huh? [chuckles softly]

[sighs] blue, mind
doing me a favor?

Don't tell mommy
about this, too,

- until I can talk to her, okay?
- Sure, pops.,

you got me?

[exhales and chuckles]

[bell jingles]

- hey.
- Hey, billie.

Hey. When's your flight?

I thought you would be in
la with your mama by now.

[sighs] we got into a
disagreement. I'm not going.

A disagreement?

She's two days away from
the biggest day of her life.

What could you possibly
disagree with her about

- that would cause you to not be there for her?
- She said some things,

and I don't feel comfortable
being there with her.

And honestly, I don't
think she wants me there.

- What on earth?
- [doorbell jingling]

- hey, vi, save my...
- Yeah, baby, please.

- Micah.
- [billie] hi, welcome to vi's prized pies.

You need to get on a
plane and get out there.

You're the only one who can go.

You're the only one that
can be there to support her

on her election night.

You know the rest of us got
to be here the next morning

- for the auction.
- [sighs]

and our foster assignment
could happen any day.

No one else can go.

- You want her to be alone?
- My dad is there.

Her california
friends, her staff.

She's fine.

What are you thinking, micah?

You need to get there and
stand with your mother.

- I'm asking you to do this.
- Don't ask me to do that.

This is the same
issue I have with her.

All these demands being
made about what I wanna do.

I'm a grown man. Respect that.

You lower your mouth.

So you think this is
how grown men act?

Not showing up for your people?

[doorbell jingling]

somebody here registered a bid.

Hey, good afternoon. How
you doing today, ma'am?

- I'm good. How are you?
- Well, I'm blessed and highly favored,

but my goodness, y'all have
one mighty fine operation here.

Quick question. Where do you
source your cane juice from

- to make your rum?
- We have six varieties,

and we have cane from
three different parishes.

Three different parishes, huh?

Does saint josephine happen
to be one of those parishes?

I don't know. The
boss would know.

- Is he here right now?
- [man] sure is.

Hello, gentlemen.

[car radio plays]

- [ralph] you want an ice cream sandwich?
- [blue] already know.

- [blue] you want one, mom?
- [ralph] what about you, mama?

[chuckles] I'm okay. We
have ice cream at home.

Sometimes I like
homemade better.

Okay.

Home is better sometimes.

- [car engine and radio
turns off] - I'll be back.

How's everything
going at grandma's?

How's school?

- Fine.
- Just fine?

- That's it.
- Well, I talked to pops about it

and he's right.

I just have to remember
that I deserve to be there

as much as any other kid there.

I have an alumni legacy, too.

Double as much as
most kids there do,

and I have to remember that whenever
I feel like I miss home or anything.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

What do you mean by double?

I mean you, mom.

You're an alumnus.

You said double.

Yeah, grandma.

You know grandma
didn't go there.

You're right. I get
confused sometimes.

[sighs softly]

here we take fresh cane juice
and make cane spirit rum...

Like you ain't never tasted.

- Mmm. Clean.
- Slightly grassy notes. It's pretty damn good.

Why battle my uncle with all
his issues when I could be here,

five hours away, on
my own, doing this?

So, if you're not
registered for the auction,

somebody's using your name.

Maybe it's an auto registration.

You know, you pay to be automatically
registered in all state auctions.

I probably forgot
to turn it off.

I will look into it.

[sighs]

I'm done with all
that, with all of 'em.

Your family?

Yeah.

You can't decide who they are.

But you can decide who you are.

I'm making a difference choice.

I have to stay far
away from my family,

or they'll pull me back in.

I just can't let that happen.

I wish you all the best.

[hollywood] yes indeed.

Good luck with all that.

? it feels good ?

? yeah ?

? it feels good ?

? it feels good ?

who's ready for cobbler?

? so good good to me ?

yeah, I bet you these
folks go for pies.

Company's done some kind of promotion on
the 'gram or the tiktok or one of them

and folks have found out that
there's a real vi's pies.

Look at this madness.

[nova chuckles softly]
it's wonderful.

Stressful, but wonderful.
Aunt vi, you're famous.

Well, I don't want it.

And if you hadn't come

- I don't know what I would've done.
- I'm here.

We got this.

[bell dinging]

- two meatless sandwiches and three gumbo lunches.
- All right.

Six blackberry cobbler slices...

- Okay.
- Four chocolate heaven whole pies,

- and a chicken pecan salad with hot honey mustard.
- [vi] wait, wait.

This is the last
of to-go lunches,

you tell the to-go's that
it's only pies to go.

Full menu for
seated guests only.

And, billie, don't you
dillydally, you drop those checks

as soon as you see them on their
second to last bite, all right?

- [billie] I...
- [vi] tell them we are out of pecan chicken,

- offer fried.
- Okay.

I can't do this, it's too much.

I mean, I'm expecting a
foster child any day now.

Why would this happen now?

Count your blessings, aunt vi.

What if I can't handle
the child right now?

Maybe there was a reason
why it never happened.

Maybe it wasn't meant to be.

- [deep breath]
- breathe,

aunt vi.

[breathing together]

- all is well.
- [deep exhale]

say it with me.

[deep exhale]

[both] all is well.

You got this.

- All is well.
- All is well.

All right.

I am so sorry, sir.

[micah] just two.

Follow me.

[man] uh, hi there. I'm an
old friend of the bordelon's,

can I help at all?

Happy to lend a hand.

Uh, yeah, um, just let me check.

- What's your name again?
- Remy.

Remy newell.

[reporter on tv] congressional
hopeful, charley bordelon

and republican main stake, john greene
have been polling neck and neck for weeks,

making this contest
one to watch.

You got dressed.

Mmm-hmm. Long day.

Helping vi earlier and
catching up with remy, tried.

[reporter] ...Newest
star charley bordelon

is surging ahead of
republican contender...

Did you talk to her today?

Earlier this week,
she sounded tired.

I could, you know charley's at her best
when she's looking for what's next.

Who knows where
this will lead her.

- President bordelon.
- [chuckles] I wouldn't put it past her.

I wouldn't put
anything past you,

or any other bordelon
woman at that point.

[reporter] ...Now, the dems
needs bordelon's seat to keep...

You can achieve anything you
want if you set your mind to it,

that's your super power.

[nova chuckles softly]

I definitely can't do anything I set my
mind to, not at all. I mean, look at us.

[reporter] ...Now, there are several
large precincts still to report,

but the bordelon camp should...

Us?

Is there an "us"?

I'm just trying to figure out what
we're doing here because I know,

and you know, that there
should be a lot more to us.

Other than me just showing up
whenever you decide to call.

[reporter] ...Bordelon's
platform has drawn praise

for its focus on homelessness...

You're right.

I shouldn't do that.

I don't want you to stop, nova.

- I'm just saying...
- No, I know what you want.

I know.

But to be honest,

I just don't think
I can give it.

You can, but you
just don't want to.

I'm not a cop anymore, nova.

I'm not married anymore.

There's no more
secrets between us.

I mean, we both met
each other's family.

We've lived together.

We're meant to be.

This is not the way this
story's supposed to end.

I won't accept it.

? unstable right in
to an open heart ?

? see me crumble ?

? crumbling is just a start ?

night, nova.

Night, calvin.

? might bleed heavy
for your love ?

? but you said it ?

? and you're standing ?

? you're standing ?

? you're standing ?

[ralph angel] he finally dozed
off after them elections.

Guess he gonna have to
wakeup to the good news.

Good?

Darla.

You okay?

You told him.

I was gonna tell you.

Just ain't had time yet.

I was gonna explain what
happened, but we just ain't talk.

Explain what happened.

Explain how you did

the very thing,

very thing,

I asked you not to.

I begged you not to.

Many times.

Over and over, but
it didn't matter.

You did what you
wanted to do anyway!

You get your way, anyway, ways.

You completely stepped
over what I wanted,

with total disregard.

Ain't nobody disregarding you.

All I do is regard you, darla.

I mean, everything that happened
with this chase situation

I let you take the lead.

Trying to be in tune
with what you need.

"don't hurt him,
ralph angel." okay.

"sit back while I negotiate
with my rapist." okay, darla.

"sit back while I take his
money and give it to the co-op."

my co-op. What if I
don't want his money?

Okay, darla.

I mean, what you
want me to do, huh?

My son needs to know
how I feel about him.

Ain't gonna end up
like me and my pops.

I can't let that happen.

So you're just gonna override me

whenever we disagree about blue?

Your feelings

on blue

are the only feelings?

- You won't even give me a chance to explain.
- I'm tired.

-I'm tired -[ralph angel sighs]

or your explanations,
ralph angel.

I'm tired of it all.

[reporter on tv] we
have a projected winner

in california's
congressional seat.

A stunning upset.

High hopes for the democrats rising
star, charley bordelon have been dashed,

as she's been narrowly defeated
by gop stalwart, john greene.

Marking the first
time in three decades

that this district
will seat a republican,

this is a big defeat
for the democrats.

Now, to put this into
a historical context

the fervent blue state hasn't seating
this district to a republican since 1977.

Los angeles, much like the rest
of the country, is deeply divided.

And while bordelon
had massive fanbase

and an exorbitant amount
of media attention

she's not able to
bring this home.

The republicans have
much to be decided.

They focused much
of this in pr time.

Viewers may still be confused, but they seemed
to pull off this victory by a slim margin.

Charley bordelon's colorful past

as the wife of the disgraced
nba star davis west

made her a magnet for the press,

but she's been
rejected by the people.

Greene, the popular mayor

of one of the states most popular
cities is the projected winner.

And charley bordelon will not be
going to washington this year,

as many pundits predicted.

And while bordelon had
a massive fanbase...

[line ringing]

[line ringing]

[charley's recording] you've
reached charley bordelon

I can't get to the phone right
now, so please leave a message.

[message beep]

[charley's recording] you've
reached charley bordelon

I can't get to the phone right
now, so please leave a message.

? only two things in
this life that are sure ?

? of that I'm sure ?

[crowd cheering]

? only two things in
this life that are sure ?

the benes farm

and they got some
good soil over there.

[remy] the university's
actively looking

for properties to
develop solar research.

And that plot is perfect.

My department can acquire the whole plot
and then sell your portion back to you.

You know what?

Think we got a plan here.

Billie, tell him about landmark
status and the legal part.

Yeah, okay.

She knows all about it 'cause
she gonna be going to law school.

- Uh-oh.
- That's right.

- Yes.
- [prosper] yes.

[remy] wow, that's incredible.

She starts next
semester in chicago.

- Well.
- [all chuckling]

okay, daddy. Okay.

Okay, so, we gonna go over the legalities
later, but I think we're all set.

- I like it.
- All right.

[ralph angel] total remy.

All right.

[prosper] tell me
about the solar panels.

It's a shame that darla had
to go look after her mother

'cause she has been
my partner in crime.

All the research,
the paper work.

I just wish she could
be here for this.

Just to see it go down because
it's gonna be quite a day.

- I wish she was here too.
- [billie] yeah.

I'll see you
later, mr. Prosper.

Hey, suzy.

- Remy.
- How are ya?

? how can I ever love if I
didn't prepare for war? ?

[line ringing]

? how am I supposed to fight with
someone that can't be found? ?

? never was taught to feel
don't even know how to kill ?

? so how can I offer love
if you were never there? ?

Yeah, beautiful home.

Beautiful land.

I lost it.

I'ma get it back.

Least I'ma try anyway.

What about darla? You
gonna get her back too?

Look, I don't know
what happened,

but I saw the look on your face
when you heard she was gone.

She dropped blue off to aunt
vi's this morning, took tru.

Just up and left while
I was at the co-op.

Ain't even bothered
to say a word.

I mean, who does that? Today.

Today of all days. I
mean, it's one of the...

It's one of the biggest
days for our land.

And she just up and left with my
baby girl without saying nothing.

[heavy exhale]

[prosper] look at me.

Look at me.

I, uh... [clears throat]

I tried my best by you kids, I tried to be
there in ways that ernest can't no more.

I tried.

But I failed by not
sharing enough with you.

By... By the things that I
remembered. Things that he said to me.

Things that might help y'all.

Now, hey, I remember

this one time we
were doing harvest

and I said something
about a calculator.

Yeah, yeah, we gonna need a
calculator today to get this done.

Calculator?

Yeah, you got one?

- [both chuckle] - remember, back
in the day it was ralph angel.

Oh, yeah, that boy could do...

He could do that math
right there in his head.

- Yeah. [chuckles softly]
- [ernest] yeah.

Yeah, you couldn't tell it now
he out there in them streets.

That boy didn't need no
paper, pencil, nothing.

- No calculator. [chuckles] - no,
I seen him do it more than once.

Hell, yeah.

I'm sitting there, I'm trying to
see the bricks value, the yield.

Ralph angel come
walking up behind me

rattling off these numbers.

Right there in his head!

- Could've knocked me over with a feather.
- [both laughing]

oh, yeah, he could do
so much with this land.

So much with it. Take it
father than I ever will.

If he just buckle down.

Yeah, children, man.

Me and you, we were running
them streets too, remember?

Yeah.

So, he's got it in him.

Well, I hope so.
I sure hope so.

[sighs] I hope he
does it better.

Yeah, well, don't worry,
brother. You're doing just fine.

I ain't talking about the crop.

I mean...

Nova, she in the city.

Charley...

Across the country.

Trudy gone.

Ralph angel ever
come back to the land

I hope he don't
end up on it alone.

Ain't the same without family.

Land without love...

Don't mean nothing.

Hope he does it better.

[prosper] he wants you to keep
doing what you're doing on the land.

Work it, grow it, fight for it,

but he also wants you
to have love on it.

To have family on it.

He came to understand that
was the most important thing.

- Yes, sir.
- Now, whatever it is,

whatever happened, you push
through it. No, you fight for her.

Now...

If you leave now you can
be in d.C. Before midnight.

Thank you, mr. Prosper.

Go get your woman and baby.

[door closes]

[engine starts]

soon. Soon. [chuckles softly]

this internet craziness
has got to end soon, y'all.

It will aunt vi, everything
that's a trend settles down.

Yep, just ride the
wave till then.

- I'll just ride the wave, huh?
- I'm just saying.

- [vi chuckles] - tables are
set, I'ma head to the airport.

- Uh, can I talk to you for a second?
- Sure.

I just...

I need to apologize for the
way I snapped at you yesterday.

You were right. No matter what was
going on, I should've been there.

It was immature.

And it was wrong of me to...

Take our stuff out
on you. I'm sorry.

That there,

that's grownup.

I haven't heard from her.

Nobody has, I'm really
starting to get worried.

Me too, baby.

- Me too.
- [knocking at door]

vi.

Hey, miss malinda.
Tell us something good.

It's good, it's real good.

- [vi chuckles] - I found
a child in baton rouge.

She was raised from an infant by her
grandmother, bright and sweet girl.

Well, the grandmother
died, about a year ago,

and paulie when to
foster care at age 9.

Most families don't want
long-term kids at that age.

- They want babies.
- Right.

So, she's been to three
foster homes in 12 months.

She's tried to keep up her
grades, but it's been hard.

- I think that...
- She's prefect for us.

She's perfect for
us. [chuckles]

she's perfect, she's perfect.

- [nova] wow, this is amazing.
- She's perfect for us.

We've got a new bordelon.

I thank you.

- Thank you.
- She's perfect for us.

I can bring her to you tomorrow.

My parents are asleep.

The auction is in the morning.

What are you doing here?

- You shouldn't've come.
- I ain't drive here to fight. Okay.

Look, you say I should use my
words, you push me to use my words,

I've been trying to
talk to you for weeks

about this blue and chase thing.

- There is no blue and chase...
- There is.

Stop saying that.

You're the one that keeps
connecting them making it a thing,

you could not let it go.

No I can't let it go.

I'm sorry.

Maybe I shouldn't've told
him like that, but I did.

Oh, you're so righteous when
it comes to blue, right?

You know, you don't wanna tell him things,
you wanna be honest about everything.

And what's wrong with that?

How does your
commitment to honesty

factor in to you instructing
our son to lie to his mother?

- That's not what I said.
- [scoffs] what'd ya say?

I told him to let
me talk to you first

- because I wanted you to hear it from me.
- Mmm-hmm.

There's a difference.
Look, I'm sorry.

- For tell...
- You're sorry?

I don't believe you.

I don't trust you.

You don't trust me, darla?

After you ran up out the
city with my daughter.

Without telling me.

You got the nerve to tell
me that you don't trust me.

You remember what I said
to you at that parking lot?

- Remember what I told you?
- Don't you do that.

I said, "all I have to do
is think about your life

whenever I thought
my life was bad."

it's probably the worst thing
I could've said at the time.

'cause my life was bad.

But you know what I think
about when I look at you today?

You know what I see?

I see somebody who probably
loves me more than I love myself.

On most days.

And I'm sorry for it.

Maybe it didn't come out
the right way, but...

[inhales] that's why
I've been trying to talk.

I can't do no more secrets.

That's what messed up the
family, that's what...

That's what we've
been running from.

That's what's been
messing us up.

So, what do we do now, darla?

[sighs]

- Wow!
- What do you think, brother?

- It's magical, bro.
- Morning.

[both] hey.

Aunt vi asked me to pick
up an envelope from you.

Oh, yeah. It's on
the top left drawer.

Hey, you! Come here.

- I'll be back in two shakes, all right?
- All right, bet.

For the auction! Know
what, let me show you.

Excuse me, doll.

So, this is what I want...

[remy] okay...

- Tell me everything.
- [laughs] you!

You got the most, you go first.

No, I don't think
I've got the most.

You're the one with all
the books and movies.

Hell, you got the
wife, kids, big job.

- Okay. We're both doing all right.
- Yeah.

- We're both doing all right.
- We are.

[both chuckle]

[sighs] it's wild seeing
you after all this time.

You're the same, but different.

Grown.

- Why, thank you.
- [both chuckle]

no, you know, I feel grown...

'cause I feel settled, finally.

You know what I mean?

We all have to find what
settled means to us and...

You know, I guess I found it.

Have you?

Wow. That's a good question.

I guess, if I had
to think about it...

I'm not, but I'm
closer than I was.

- Okay.
- [hollywood shouting] remy!

- Yo?
- [hollywood] bust a move, brother!

- Yup, yup! I'll see you there?
- [nova] definitely.

And thank you.

This plan, if it works,
we'll get our land back.

It's huge. It's everything
we want and need.

It's gonna work.

I'm gonna get another cup
of coffee before we leave.

- All right.
- [billie chuckles]

[sighs] it's good to
see remy, wasn't it?

It is. It's strange, though.

So many people from my past have
come back into my life recently.

I kind of don't know
what to make of it.

I feel like it's all trying to tell
me something, but I don't know what.

[hesitates] I...

I'm babbling. [laughs]

- I'm sorry.
- [billie] oh, girl. No, don't worry about that.

You sorting through
your past like that?

I mean, it changed my
life, changed everything.

Seeing you girls right
now reminds me of the time

ernest and I were
talking about you.

Yeah, it was...

It was a hard day.

Billie, it was your
mama's funeral.

[sighs]

- [ernest] you all right?
- Yeah, I'm good.

Thank you for coming.

[sighs] mmm.

- You didn't have to make that drive.
- You kidding?

I wouldn't have missed
it. How you holding up?

Oh, you know, best I can.

Trying to deal with billie.

She wasn't going to come...

To her mother's funeral
if it was in louisiana.

Swore she was never
coming back to st jo.

[scoffs]

- that girl's a handful, ain't it?
- [chuckles]

you got that right.
Mmm, mmm, mmm.

[chuckling] sit down.

Prosper, count it as a blessing.

Claire was in billie's
life as an adult.

I think that's one of
the things with nova.

Trudy wasn't there
to help guide her...

Tell her things...

That I can't tell her
or couldn't tell her.

I didn't know how.

When...

Me and trudy...

Finally broke up,
that last time,

she said to me, she said...

She said, "ernest...

Love goes its own way,
just like the river.

You can't force it or
make it go your way.

If you smart...

You'll just...

Flow with it."

wise woman. Wise woman.

Our daughters...

Will be wise one day too...

When they come to
understand that...

It doesn't matter
how love comes...

Rich, poor, man, woman...

Black, white...

Here or hereafter...

It flows its own way...

And you gotta flow with it.

Co-op funds, charley's meal collateral,
and hollywood and vi's contribution

we had 250 k.

And then that big, anonymous
donation out of d.C.

Brought us to 450,000.

And betty's farm as
collateral gave... Another...

75 k.

So then we put in
the movie money

we've got 750 k to bid with.

So if none of the
farmer's bid against us,

we might actually have a shot.

that you're near ?

? oh, the tears from my eyes ?

welcome home, polly.

We are so happy
that you're here.

? You're the best
of my thoughts ?

it's a firm offer from leap.

Based in la but they're opening

a new office in new york city.

I would be the
program coordinator...

Reporting directly
to the senior vp.

Salary, benefits, everything.

And their motto is,
"change is ours to create".

Isn't that great?

It's everything
I've ever wanted.

I could even amplify
artists from the collective.

[charley] you're perfect for it.

Your experience.

Your passion.

And your high profile
to benefit to them.

It means a lot that
you see that now.

? I pray just to
see your face ?

[knocking]

? in my dreams ?

? in my dreams ?

can I help ya?

I'm dez george.

Pearl said you all
were around this way.

Oh, hello, mr. George.

I'm nova, this is calvin.

Hello to you.

[calvin] and to you.

You the one we been waitin' on.

Been told to give
this here to ya.

That there are the deeds.

I'm...

I'm sorry, sir, deeds for?

For the church.

You trudy's gal, ain't ya?

Well, yes, sir.

For trudy's church.

My mother had...

Had a church?

A little reading room
down the road, uh...

Worn down now, but, uh,

I've been looking after it for
the sisters over the years.

? And of the bed
of my thoughts ?

? I will find you ?

time's, uh, wearing
on it, though.

Martha said you'd
look after it now.

This is the church
martha left her house to.

If that prayer room is
my mother's, then...

Then the church is yours.

Right?

And this your house.

? And we'll never be ?

trudy's keys right here.

? Apart ?

? apart ?

? mmm ?

[shaking] trudy's keys.

Orite place, the kitchen.

I love to cook.

Do you know how to cook, polly?

Yes, ma'am.

Grandma annie taught me.

Oh, you know what?

I wanna taste everything that grandma
annie taught you how to make, okay?

- Okay.
- Yes! [chuckles]

all righty.

And this...

This here is your room.

I get my own room?

Yes, you do, dear.

Yeah.

Woah.

How you feelin'?

[dryly chuckles]

no one has asked me that in...

A long time.

Well, we gotta change that.

I'm asking.

Well, I, uh, spent the day at
the office dealing with people...

Very angry with me.

About the campaign?

That's...

You left it all on the court.

The outcomes were...

Out of your control.

It's not your fault.

It may be not my fault but
it's still my responsibility.

Okay, it's not the
outcome you wanted,

the party's upset.

I know you feel
horrible but now...

Right now, mom, there's
nothing you can do.

People are gonna
have things to say.

Yeah, well...

Let 'em.

Let 'em.

It's like you told me, you have to
be satisfied with how hard you tried.

Right? It doesn't matter
what other people think.

It matters what you do.

This is the part they
don't get to see,

and this is the part
that matters to me.

To unwind with you at
the end of a long day.

[joking] unwinding?

I love you.

I love you, too.

And I'm by your side, always.

All right! See ya around.

[calvin] hey, thank you.

[softly] trudy's keys.

[crying]

[breath trembling]

I've wanted this.

I've wanted her...

All my life.

I wanted to feel this feeling.

Not outside of me, inside.

Inside, finally, I feel it.

I'm home...

In this room, in this house...

In this community...

With you.

I've loved you...

For so long.

I tried to hide it...

To ignore it.

I second guessed
it, fought it...

Cursed it.

I did everything to it, but...

Accept it.

With no conditions.

No idea as of what should be, or
could be, or what others will say...

Or think.

I never just let it be.

To just...

Go with its flow.

[softly] let us flow.

[softly] I love you, nova.

[softly] I love you, calvin...

Forever.

How'd you pull it off, anyway?

What line a credit did you use,

because I know you didn't have that
kind of money since I cut you off.

And your mother, well...

Your mother is a felon,

and who knows what
she really is.

I had strong partners.

To the tune of 1.1 million?

Well, son, those are partners
I would love to meet.

I can make that happen...

Right now, in fact.

I didn't want the land,

I wanted the satisfaction
of besting you.

My partners have integrity
and vision for our hometown.

They're the only ones who
really care about st. Joe.

That process just happened to
right the wrongs done by you,

your father, his father,

who knows how long it's gone on.

Too long...

But it's over now.

You're sayin' they
bought the land?

[jacob] they're the real
leaders of this community.

I just followed their lead.

It's called workin'
together, sam.

The family bought their
parcels, and I bought yours.

Now, miss parthena
has her land back.

The bordelon's have
their land back.

I have my cane fields
for my distillery,

which I found a very
accomplished farmer to oversee

for a percentage.

My specialized legal advice.

This is ridiculous.

How could you let yourself get
caught up with them in this?

How could you do it?

Well, one of 'em...

Very persuasive.

She called right
before her election.

[charley on phone] jacob
boudreux, it's charley bordelon.

I think we should talk.

[jacob] with their friend
remy's bid as a distraction,

the bordelons provided the
funds and the strategy.

[indistinct chatter]

right after prosper and
hollywood came to my distillery,

the transfer was set.

We could just wait it out for the
good old boys to hit their threshold.

[atmospheric music]

? dreams never die ?

? take flight as
the world turns ?

? dreams never die ?

? take flight as
the world turns ?

[ralph] one of the best
moments of my life.

? dreams never die,
dreams never die ?

you lost, sam.

That's right.

It's over now.

But by the looks of this
big old fancy house,

you'll be fine.

See, you and your kind,

y'all been stealing from
my people for generations.

It's a hell of a head
start, don't you think?

But we got something
that you'll never have.

We got love.

We got each other.

We got our land back.
