-They probably abuse it. Man, that's like --

You know, that's like a given.

You know, I wanted to challenge myself into doing other things.

I wanted to challenge myself

like the question you asked about the community.

I wanted to be a part of the community things,

how I can help build things in the community,

how I can help show kids that,

when they come into a Asiatic-owned business,

the first thing they want to ask, "Is you the owner?"

You know, 'cause they don't see us owning nothing no more.

If they built affordable housing,

it wouldn't be a problem. -Right.

-But you not building affordable housing.

And what if you build some apartments

for brothers and sisters that get out of prison,

knowing that they can't get nowhere to stay?

Build some apartments where you already know they felons.

But here, there's a brother get out of prison,

he can't find nowhere to stay

'cause you doing a background check.

That building almost $300,000.

These $300,000, $280,000, $270,000 properties

that these people building out here.

These is the same people they relocating to other areas.

Now they got to go out here and get out.

-Yeah. Yeah. -So, my thoughts

on the cancer cluster problem.

You know, I can see it. I don't suffer with cancer,

but my grandfather died of cancer.

So it's not -- It's no secret to me what's going on with it.

My whole thing is, what's gon' be done about it?

??

-? They probably wishing, they probably wishing ?

? They probably wishing

-I was surprised to get your call.

-? Like a shooting star

-Here. -? They probably wishing

-What is this?

-A gift.

-? They probably wishing like a shooting star ?

? Y'all wish that I would fall

-Why? What do you want?

-? So keep on hating, baby, y'all can't stop me ?

-What every lawyer wants.

-? I'm gon' keep winning, y'all can't stop me ?

-Justice.

-? So keep on wishing

-Hey. -Hey!

How'd it go?

-Well, the chief didn't chop off all my ass, just most of it.

-Uh, the review board?

-Surprisingly, no. -Alright.

-Yeah, he's got bigger problems.

Donnell X.

-Oh, the Anthony Barnes funeral. Oh.

-What is sure to be a media frenzy.

Donnell X is going to march from the boy's grave site

down to city hall.

-Oh. -Heard CNN is coming.

-[Scoffs]

-Well, what you gonna do?

See the mysterious Ted Mercer made your board.

That's if he even exists.

-You don't believe Davis?

-Your man Davis is crazy.

But if he believes he saw it, I can't rule it out.

-Why is Mike Batts still up there?

Thought you said his murder was gang-related.

-Maybe.

Let me show you something.

??

You know what that is?

That's the bullet they pulled out of my chest.

-That was on me, bro. That's my bad.

-[Chuckles] The point is,

they should have pulled that bullet out of my head.

-I don't follow.

-Oh.

They didn't count on me being in a coma for six months,

but whoever shot me

wanted me to live after they shot me.

But why?

I don't know.

Whatever this thing is,

now that I'm back, they'll be back.

??

-There's a mole in the force.

I got Lin and Khan on Jenkins

and Harper and Lang on Markov.

-You know,

maybe your friend Davis is not so crazy after all.

Maybe this thing is -- is bigger than that.

Bigger than us.

[Indistinct conversations]

??

-Hello. All rise.

Court is now in session.

The honorable Judge T. Hunter presiding.

??

-Be seated.

Counsel, approach the bench.

-[Clears throat]

-Now, what is this emergency, Ms. Bradley?

-Your Honor, my clients fear the immediate safety

and welfare of their granddaughter, Kenyata Davis,

and they seek sole custody of the child at once.

-This demand is nothing but sour grapes,

an attempt to create some type of revenge or witch hunt

against the pre-planned adoption of Kenyata

by my client, Mrs. Davis.

-Do you have proof of this abuse, Ms. Bradley?

-Yes, Your Honor, proof, unrefutable proof.

-Objection. -Sustained.

Ms. Bradley, if I see for an instant

some sort of shell game,

I guarantee that not only will I dismiss your client's claim,

I will revoke the Parkers' rights

permanently.

And I'll make it my mission

to guarantee that you are disbarred in the state of Texas.

You will not destroy a child's life in my courtroom

because of the unchecked vanity of adults.

Understood?

-Understood. -Yes, Your Honor.

-You may return to your clients' table.

What's next?

-Your Honor, I would like to call Kenyata Davis to the stand

for the court.

??

??

Hello, sweetheart. Are you afraid?

-A little. -Don't be.

Everyone just wants what's best for you.

All you have to do is tell the truth.

Everything's gonna be fine, okay?

-Mm-hmm. -Okay.

What's your full name?

-Kenyata Rhonda Davis.

-And who do you live with?

-My daddy and Mama Lo.

-Mama Lo?

-That's what I call my daddy's wife, Loretta.

Mama Lo.

-Are you close to Mama Lo?

-I love her. She takes care of me.

-And what about your mother? Did you love her?

Remember, you have to tell the truth.

-I loved her. I still love her.

-And what happened to her?

-She died.

-And do you know how she died?

-Objection, Your Honor. Relevance.

This trial has nothing to do with the death of Tina Andrews.

And now Ms. Bradley chooses to be in violation

of this pretrial motion in limine.

-Sustained.

Ms. Bradley,

this is your first and last chance.

??

-Do you love your grandparents?

-Yes.

-Why don't you want to live with them?

-I don't know.

-Is it because they have rules?

-I guess.

-They just want you to be a good girl, right?

??

Do you want to be a good girl?

-Yes.

-So you trust your grandparents.

-Yes.

Kenyata,

how often would your father come see you

while you were living with your mother?

Was it once a day, once a week, once a month?

-Objection. Objection.

Relevance. -Overruled.

I'll allow it.

You can answer, babe.

-About once a month, sometimes more.

-And how often would you see your grandparents?

-Two or three times a week.

Sometimes Papa picked me up after school,

and we'd go get ice cream.

-Did anyone else ever pick you up after school?

-Yes, sometimes Mr. Theo.

-Mommy's friend.

-Did this Mr. Theo ever come over

and spend time with you and your mother at your house?

-Yes. Sometimes Mr. Theo would sleep over.

He said you wanted to marry Mommy and be my daddy.

-Kenyata, did Mr. Theo ever tell you

that he was your real father?

-Objection. Again, Ms. Bradley is in violation

of the pretrial in limine.

[Gavel bangs] -Order in the court.

All parties in my chambers right now.

Bailiff, sequester the jury.

??

??

??

??

-Finally awake?

??

-Lexus.

What's that?

-You don't remember, do you?

-Why haven't you taken your medicine?

-Because it's not medicine.

It's an abortion pill that'll kill our baby.

-Your baby, not mine.

Now, we've been over this endlessly.

-I only been with you.

You already know this.

I love you, Odell.

-Hoes don't love nothing but money.

Everything else is just a lie.

-Please don't make me kill my baby.

Heck, I want to marry you.

-You give niggas hand jobs for 50 bucks in VIP.

-But you made me do it! You made me this.

-And you fucking them for $200.

Does that sound like wife material to you, huh?

-You made me like this.

-I will never marry you, nigga.

And we damn sure ain't having no baby.

Now take. Your. Medicine.

[Marciano YR's and BGZ's "Every Dog Has Its Day" playing]

-? When it come down to it, I come up ?

? They come round to it, niggas make a whole lotta noise ?

? But the boy know money got one sound to it ?

? And I'm sunup to sundown do it ?

? Then sundown to sunup, I come out to come up ?

? I been down and fucked up so fuck that, I run round to it ?

? Shit, I gotta raise a son now ?

? They about to be 2, ain't but 1 now ?

? You gotta shot at success, learn a lesson when you fail ?

? I can't really tell if there is heaven or a hell ?

-I'm sorry, okay?

But I'm a changed man now.

I've -- I've given my life over to God.

-Your soul might belong to God,

but yo' ass belongs to me.

-Then pull the trigger.

I've made my peace.

I have repented, and I am ready to meet my maker.

-I'm not here to kill you.

I want to watch you live.

I want to watch you suffer like I have.

[Voice breaking] I murdered our baby for you,

for you, Blue.

-[Crying] I know, and I'm sorry, okay?

I'm not the same person I was.

Please don't do this.

-Why did my baby have to die?

Why did our baby have to die?

And now I can't have kids, ever?!

-I'm sorry, okay? I-I-I'm sorry.

Just -- I'm not that person anymore.

Please, stop.

-It's already done. And if my baby had to die,

you and Mina's baby gotta die, too.

??

??

??

-We were just gonna scare him.

-He scared, ain't he?

-Lexus, Sugar ain't never did nothing to me.

Now, I ain't down with killing no babies.

[Gunshots]

[Thud]

[Cellphone dings] -Oh.

Okay.

Oh, a text from the wifey?

[Cellphone dings]

"I'm at the house. Where you at?

Don't forget Ray Ray's senior showcase is tonight"?

Oh, so you playing Daddy now, nigga?

Huh?

It's time for me to play Daddy now.

What's your fucking passcode?

-Lexus, I'm not telling you shit!

[Groaning]

-Oh, yeah. You got the Touch ID on your phone, huh?

-No.

-"I'm at the club.

Can I meet you there?"

Send.

??

[Cellphone dings] "Great.

Got your bottled water in the fridge."

[Cellphone dings]

Oh, and I know your little secret about Tony, too.

Is the baby even yours?

??

I know what you did last summer.

Step to me,

even think about contacting the police,

and I'm-a tell Mina and everybody

about your dirty little secret.

-[Crying] Just -- Just kill me, okay?

Kill me! -Shut up, fool!

You fucked with the wrong bitch.

[Grunting]

??

??

??

[No audio]

-That -- Now, look -- Now, look -- Look, look.

That -- That don't mean nothing. That don't mean nothing.

Okay -- Okay, I-I know how it looks. I know it looks.

No, no, but, s-see, what -- what I'm saying is --

-Kendrick. -No, please, stop, stop!

There's -- There's some Illuminati shit going on,

a'ight? It's like a government conspiracy.

-Kendrick. -You see how they flipped it.

You see how they flipped it. This is not --

I'm not -- I'm not -- I'm not crazy.

I know what -- I know what I'm talk--

I'm -- I'm not crazy.

-Kendrick.

Amelia, what are you trying to do?

-My clients just seek peace of mind

that Mr. Davis is actually Kenyata's biological father.

If paternity is verified,

the Parkers are more than willing

to let Mrs. Davis adopt Kenyata.

But they still seek their regular visitational rights.

-So how are you gonna go about doing this?

-Mr. Davis just needs to present a DNA sample to the DA's office

for the paternity test. It's simple.

-A little dramatic, Ms. Bradley, but, um, I'll allow it,

if Mr. Davis is willing.

??

-What? -It's a setup.

It's a God damn setup. This is --

[Chuckling, scoffing]

-Just give them the sample.

-I can't.

-You can't or you won't?

-So, Mr. Davis, is this another conspiracy theory,

or do you have something to hide?

??

-Yeah, man. -? Boogie James, nigga

? You can look in my eyes and say you not me ?

-Hey, man, you got that shimmy ready to go yet?

-That's packed and ready. -Let's do it.

-Let's get it. -? You can look in my eyes

? And say you not me

??

-You wanna get Chinese?

-Nah, man, let's go to Frencheys, bro.

-Let's do it. -? They try and copy

? You can look in my eyes and say you not me ?

? Money can't make you believe but they try and copy ?

? Ey, I can't get on it if the beat don't talk to me ?

? Don't write, get the words from the music, it's art to me ?

? Fuck a nigga thoughts, I put it out if it's hard to me ?

? I'm scared to sign a deal

? Them shit sound like a lot to me ?

? Pardon my manners, let me introduce once again ?

? I'm Boogie James, I took it virtually on the ten ?

? You can't stop nobody really determined to get it ?

? Money can't make you me, most certainly, nigga ?

? I was planning a lick, you was on 64th playing ?

-All rise.

??

-You may be seated.

??

-When we began this hearing, I told both counsels

that we would not destroy a child's life

due to the unchecked vanity of adults.

Kenyata appears to be a happy, healthy child

with two people who truly love her

and has her best interest at heart.

Ms. Bradley, this court finds no evidence

of abuse or neglect on the part of the family

as you originally claimed and you petitioned in court.

nor does the court find any evidence

of abuse or neglect

on the part of the Parkers, neither.

I feel that the court

has compromised on our final decision.

In lieu of any new evidence

verifying the paternity of the child in the future,

the court must rule in favor of the petitioners

and award them sole custody.

This court stands adjourned.

Bailiff, the jury is dismissed.

??

-Court is dismissed.

-What does that mean, Mama?

Mama Lo, what does that mean? -Baby, it means

you're coming home with us now. -But, Mama Lo, you promised me.

You promised me! -I know, I know.

-She's not your mama anymore, Rhonda.

I'm your new mama. Let's go. -It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

-[Crying] No, no, no, no, please, no, Mama Lo.

Mama Lo, please. -Jelisa, get my grandbaby.

-No. No, no, no! -Wait, just let me talk to her

for a second. -Get my grandbaby and let's go.

-No, wait! No, wait. No, don't take --

-Stop crying before I give you something to cry about.

-[Crying, yelling indistinctly]

-Oh, my God.

[Crying]

-Don't worry, don't worry. We'll get them in the appeal,

I promise you.

-Oh, my God. -I promise.

I promise. -Okay.

-I promise.

??

??

-Fix this!

??

-Loretta.

??

-Got what you wanted?

??

Finally find a way to hurt me.

She was the one good thing in my life.

-This is not what I wanted! -Why would you do this?!

Why?! -You left me no choice.

-You left me no choice.

??

It's not gon' bring her back.

??

It's not gon' to make you happy.

You feel good right now?

??

-No, I don't.

One way or the other. I'll have to pay for this.

I will pay for it.

??

Good luck, Kendrick.

??

??

-Hey, squirt. -Are you really gonna sing,

Jazmine? -I'm really gonna try.

-Go find your dad. I want to talk to your sister

for a second.

I've been so proud of you this month.

-You have? -Of course.

You set such a good example for your sister and your cousin.

Did I tell you what happened to me during the fall of Saigon?

-Bombs were falling, and you hid under a bed.

Your family left and almost forgot you.

-That's right.

Uncle Hu realized I was missing and found me.

-And he died trying to save you.

-You know, in that moment,

he didn't just sacrifice his life for me.

He sacrificed it for your life, too.

You're graduating valedictorian.

No one in our family has gone to an Ivy League school.

That is a huge honor. Do you understand?

-Yes, I do.

-Good.

My beautiful daughter, I love you so much.

-Love you, too.

-I'm very proud of you.

-Go. Don't dawdle.

We have to go to your aunt's for dinner afterwards.

-Thought Jazmine loved me, but she just changed.

-The only constant in this world is change, Ray.

-Maybe. I feel kind of bad leaving on tour

with the baby being so close to being here.

-Are you crazy? We'll definitely be all out there

visiting you on tour, okay? Plus, I got to make sure

my firstborn's dressing room is just right.

[Both chuckle]

You know, it's always been my dream

to see the world, making music.

-But you got stuck raising us.

-Stuck? No.

When your dreams happen, my dreams happen, okay?

-Love you, Mama. -I love you.

-A'ight, I got to run. -Oh, wait.

While we're all together, let's take a picture.

All my little men. Yes. -Mama.

-Come on, James. You know you got time to take a picture, boy.

-Let's see.

Gonna like this. Okay. That looks good.

Oh, that's cute. -Gotta stay on my tippy-toes.

-Alright.

1, 2, and 3.

Oh, that's so nice. -A'ight, love y'all.

I got to go. I'll see y'all afterwards.

-Alright, break a leg, nephew. -Thank you.

-Hey.

-Hey, baby. Hey.

Hey. Can you take them to their seats?

-Yeah. Let's go. Where we at?

-How you feeling?

-Uh, so-so. I'm feeling like I'm a little dehydrated today.

You happen to have anything to drink in that purse?

-You know I do.

-You know, you carry everything in there.

-These days, got to.

-Ooh, perfect, water.

-I'm actually not feeling too well,

so I'm gonna hit the restroom for a minute.

-Okay. -Catch up with you.

??

-And go.

-I'm Ronald Woods, Wheatley High's class president,

class of 2020.

-And I'm Jazmine Tran, valedictorian

of Wheatley High School, class of 2020.

We like to welcome our parents, friends, and community to the...

-2020 Wheatley High School Senior Class Showcase.

-We'll be your emcees for the night.

-Turn off all those phones. -Come on, folks.

Besides, we need you to buy the official video.

-Let's get this party started. -Let's get this party started.

[Applause]

-I think God is punishing me.

-Is there a God?

-Uh, yes.

Psalm 14, first verse.

-Okay. Kendrick?

Just stop.

[Chuckles]

??

There's something I wanted to tell you.

??

I'm really in --

[Cellphone chimes]

-Everything okay?

-Yeah. Yeah, it's just work.

-Gotta go in?

-Yeah.

[Cellphone whooshes]

??

-So, what were you saying?

??

-I'm really in --

??

I love you, Kendrick.

??

I love you.

??

[Indistinct conversation]

??

[Applause in distance]

??

-Brother.

Brother, help.

-Yes, sir.

??

-Listen, can you please help me, man?

I need your phone. It's an emergency.

It's life or death. -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Here, here, here, man.

What the hell going on?

-Oh, please pick up.

Man, I need a ride, man. Please give me a ride.

-Come on. Come on, come on. Come on, man, let's go. Come on.

-Big finale. Ronald, Jazmine, go.

-Let's give it up for the singing gymnastics team

one more time.

-Whoo!

Well, this is it.

Get ready for the big finish.

-That's right. So, with no further ado, we present...

-The Wheatley Senior Showcase grand finale!

-Whoo!

[Background music playing]

??

-What is he doing?

[Music shuts off]

-It's been a crazy year for me.

Just like it's been a crazy year in general in 5th Ward.

Gentrification.

Turmoil, change.

Black vs. brown.

The cops versus everybody.

But as my mom told me earlier tonight,

it's better to be a fool for love

than to never be in love at all.

I mean, the world has its problems.

But as it's written...

..."Rejoice, O young man, while you're young.

And let your heart be glad in the days of your youth."

We're the youth.

We the future, y'all, and now is the time

for us to change the world for the better.

And this song goes out...

...to all the young fools in love.

May God bless us, the fools.

? It's okay to hurt

? I hurt when you hurt

-I love you, too. -We should go now.

-Yes, please.

-That was really -- I know. It was really good.

-You okay? -I think so.

[Panting, groaning]

-Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! You okay?

Is it the baby? Breathe, breathe, breathe.

Go get Ray Ray. Go get Ray Ray.

Hey, hey, your mom's gonna be alright, okay?

Wanda, let me see that water bottle.

Breathe. Wanda.

??

[No audio]

??

-Someone call 911!

[Cellphone ringing]

-Are you gonna answer that?

-It's the fourth time she called.

-We should, uh -- We should get rid of our phones.

The trackers.

-You haven't thought any of this through, have you?

-I looked this up. I'll be 18 in three weeks,

and I'll be an adult, and I won't testify.

-What about -- What about money?

-Jazmine's scholarship to UCLA starts in the fall,

and my tour starts in two months,

so we'll just get jobs until then. Done.

-You just have all the answers, don't you?

Dumbass.

??

-Patient one, Kennedy, Wanda, 42 years old,

six months pregnant, her first pregnancy.

Patient two, Kennedy, Mina, 39 years old,

seven months pregnant, her fourth.

Both appear to be in good health

except for signs of fetal distress.

What are the odds? -Get Dr. Pena, stat.

We need to prep for eval. Get a full blood panel.

Test for toxins and poisons.

-We're here.

-Uh, pull in that parking garage over here.

-Are these your sons?

-No, uh, they're my nephews.

-Okay, well, they look a little frightened,

so if I could get them to -- -No, I need to be with my wife.

-I'm sorry, Mr. Kennedy. There's nothing else you can do.

We've got to run a full blood test, and then the doctors

have to do a full evaluation before they'll know anything.

So if we could just go back to the waiting room.

-Okay, alright. -Okay?

-Hey, bro. -Alright, man.

-You get it? -Yeah.

Let's see if all the money I paid for it worked.

-Jaz, I hope you know what you're doing.

I really fucking do.

-She does. -This isn't Romeo and Juliet,

Darien. -Stop it.

-Why are you doing this?

-Because I love him with all that I am.

-No, besides all that shit.

-He's my soul mate. Wherever he goes, I follow.

-God. This girl's a case!

-I already told you.

Once I'm 18, my mom can't make me be a witness.

-Yeah, but what about graduating,

your valedictorian speech, and all that shit?

-Ray Ray and I already took our final exams.

-Be happy for them. -I am hap--

I'm not mad. I'm just going to miss our friend.

And so are you, too, Darien. This is fucking stupid.

-Give me your foot.

[Muttering indistinctly]

-Ey! -Ey!

My nigga. -Alright. Come on.

-A'ight, so now what? What do we do with this?

-Put this around the neck of a stray dog, shit,

they won't know you're gone for a week, maybe more.

-A'ight, man, smooth.

-Oh. Alright, man.

Let's get it.

-You better not break her heart.

-Never.

So, uh, we gotta go.

The bus is gonna be leaving soon.

-Whoa. Ain't taking no bus.

-Whoa, yo. Bro, this is your graduation gift, man.

-Yeah. Now it's yours, title and all.

-Man, why?

-Brother, since you got us out

when I decided to steal that car,

sometimes you got a paper trail.

-Hey, man, I don't even know what to say, bro.

-Just get the car, fool.

-Hey, bro, I appreciate it. -You know it.

-A'ight. Let's go.

-So you stealing cars now?

Give it six months.

-So, what's the plan?

-Get on I-10, drive straight till morning.

Any luck, we'll be on the other side of El Paso by noon.

Then we rest.

-Can't wait.

??

??

-Oh, Marguerite, thank God.

I-I have been losing my mind tonight trying to find Mina.

I-I've gone to our house. I've gone to her house, the club.

I can't find her. Have you seen her?

-Sweet Jesus. Baby, you don't know?

-Know what?

-Oh, good. You're home.

-What -- What's going on, babe?

-Isn't it obvious?

-Babe, come on, now, look, if this is about Kenyata --

-Oh, this is about Kenyata and a whole lot more.

-Babe, you know I'm going to fix this.

-Oh, yeah, I know you'll fix it.

-I love that little girl.

-[Scoffs] You love her?

You love her enough to put her well-being

past your own personal survival?

Uh-huh.

But that's always been you, right?

-Babe, come on, can we just --

-My Uber's here.

-Come on, babe. What are you doing?

Babe, where you going?

??

Are you gonna come back?

-You don't get to ask me those questions anymore.

-Come on, babe.

I love you, babe. Come on.

-Prove it.

Goodbye, Kendrick.

??

??

??

??

-Ugh, I'm so sleepy.

This is a nice little spot.

We could rest here for the night.

-Yeah, I like the tipis.

-Yeah. You know, it's perfect 'cause I got Indian in my blood.

-Really? -Yeah. My mom's from Louisiana.

Opelousas, I think.

-Look.

-A wedding?

I mean, I'm down if you are.

Alright, some gas.

-? Spring, summer, wintertime

-We want to get married. -Congratulations.

Mother, see? They want to get married.

That's wonderful. I'm not only the chief,

but I'm also the justice of the peace, as well.

-Cool. What do we have to do? -Just got one quick form to fill

and then you got to select a package.

-Package? -Yes.

A brochure here.

For $750, you get the rainbow package.

It comes with 20 digital photos, wedding video, authentic costume

with a medium bouquet, a boutonniere to match,

custom music -- -Wait, wait, wait.

We can't afford any of this.

-How much can you afford?

-$100 maybe.

-That's enough.

-How much is that phone?

[Indistinct announcement over P.A.]

-Blue? -Kennedy.

-Hey, Marguerite.

-Is Mina okay?

-What happened to you? -It's a long story.

-Officer Kennedy? -What's the news, Doc?

-We got the blood results back.

Both women have spiked levels of mifepristone in their system.

-What is that?

-It's the active chemical in RU 486.

-The abortion pill.

-It's what caused both women to go into labor

at the same time.

-Are the babies okay?

-Your baby just reached the end of the second trimester.

We've delivered preemies as young as 5 months,

but it can be a little touchy.

-And what about Mina? -I'm sorry, sir. Who are you?

-I'm Odell Davis, the baby's father.

-Okay. Your baby's in the breech presentation,

the frank position. In this position,

the buttocks are aimed directly at the birth canal,

with the legs sticking straight up in front of the body

and the feet near the head.

So we're trying to turn the baby now, but it's going slowly.

-When are the babies due? -We're not sure.

But I'm confident that by the end of today,

both babies will be delivered.

-Alright. -Thanks. Thanks, Doc.

??

-[Crying] I want her back.

Dat, I want her back.

-She's not missing, okay?

She's with that...boy!

Tell me again. This Yee person, who is he?

-Our show did an expos� on Asian gangs

and massage parlors, and he was our guide.

-Now, I don't trust that guy to find my girl.

-Don't her friends know anything?

-No. Either that, or they're helping her.

-Mom, is Jazmine in danger?

-I hope not.

[Knock on door]

-That's him. Junie, go.

Take your cousin. Go to your room.

-Yes, ma'am.

-[Speaks native language]

[Shouts in native language]

-You Dat Tran?

??

-I was told of your coming.

-Excuse me?

-The Great Spirit told me that before I died,

I would see the rarest of spirits,

twin souls.

Soul mates.

-Me and Ray Ray, soul mates?

I knew it.

Why are you crying?

-Because, child,

your love

will be like a sad song

that echoes in the mountains.

-I don't understand.

-He will never willingly be parted from you,

and you will follow him.

He will die before his time

trying to protect you.

Even now,

forces are on the move against you

and from more than one direction.

The journey of the twin souls

did not begin with you,

nor will it end with you.

??

It's a blessed curse

that will follow you and all your kin.

-What can I do to stop this?

-Nothing. If you leave now,

you will live to be old

but live a passionless life.

You will be barren and never have children.

You will be comfortable but die old and alone.

-And if I stay with him?

-You will know joy and love.

And you will have children.

And you will be surrounded by love in your elder years.

But the twin soul will die

never knowing his son,

never living past his youth.

-How does the twin soul die?

-In your arms?

??

These are for you.

??

-It's time.

-It is your choice.

[Native American drumming and chanting music]

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

-I love you, husband.

-I love you, wife.

[Native American drumming and chanting music continues]

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

??

-Fuck.

Dang it.

Shit.

??

[Slow pop music playing on radio]

??

-? Your love is so amazing

-What's wrong?

-It's something the old woman said.

-Why do you believe in that hocus pocus stuff?

[Tire pops]

-[Sighs] -What is it?

-Got a flat.

Shit.

Hey, okay, look. Everything's gonna be okay.

When we get to L.A. and I start this tour,

we'll be making so much money that everything's gonna be fine.

-But the old woman said --

-Will you stop that, please?

Let me check on this.

Let me go and see how bad it is.

-Whenever I about to run, step on the track,

anything I do, I pray.

That's just how I was raised, so...

Anything I do, I pray.

The things that I ask for

is I think I'm better off without that.

Like, the path that I'm going through right now,

I'm thankful for that.

I'm thankful to God for everything that He --

The position that I'm in right now,

I'm thankful for everything that He's doing for me.

-It gets heartbreaking, seeing people move in over here,

and it's like one big house right here.

It's another area in the street,

but it's another house getting built,

and it's not for no one our skin tone.

It's for white people

and and others who actually have the money.

But we try. We try,

but it's like they judge us based on our color now.

It's like it's starting to come back.

And I can feel it, 'cause I can walk inside of a store,

and they just look, like, "Oh, that Black girl

with her jacket on."

Like, you know, you can feel the tension

when you first walk inside of a place,

feel like you being judged and everything.

And it kind of -- It gets personal sometimes.

-So, patience. I basically -- Like, I want y'all

to be able to understand that kids,

once we -- once we see in progress on things that we done,

we -- we develop more, and we actually pay attention --

more attention to what we want to be.

So patience is the same thing I keep saying, patience.

Please be patient with us and give us time.

-Well, congratulations.

You both are fathers now.

-What? [Laughs] Oh, thank God!

Baby -- Oh, baby. Baby, I love you so much.

You did it.

-We did it.

-Let's go.

-Never a dull moment in pediatrics,

but your son and your daughter

are going to be in our neonatal ICU.

But they're both fine and doing well.

-Mm. You're a daddy, Robert.

-[Chuckles]

-So when can we see our babies?

-Soon. Very soon. They're both stable,

so shouldn't be too much longer before you can see them.

-Dr. Pena, we need you in radiology.

-Okay. Excuse me one second, guys.

-Oh. -This is amazing.

-We did it. -Congratulations.

-Congratulations.

-Oh, damn. -What?

-This lug needs a key.

Can you look in the trunk and see if you can find it?

-Yeah.

-Could you get this blood work for Ms. Johnson over to me

so I can take a look at it? Thank you so much.

Alright. Thank you.

-Didn't make it.

-What? When did this happen? -Just now.

The baby went into respiratory arrest and died.

-What? I just talked to these people.

Which one?

-What do you mean?

-Both the mothers are named Kennedy.

Which baby died?

-This one.

I hate this part of the job.

I'll tell her now. -Okay.

-Thank you. Alright.

-Ray Ray. Come here.

Come here!

Come.

Look!

-Oh, shit.

Oh, fuck. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

-What is it, Doc?

??

-An eye for an eye,

tooth for a tooth?

I don't know about that.

But Kenyata was never a part of this.

And I want her back.

??

But I can't believe he bought it.

-Told you, baby, all you had to do

was just give them a teaspoon of what they wanted to hear.

And they'll buy the rest.

Hook, line, sinker.

??

-? Say what you wanna say

-? Say what you wanna say ?

-? Say what you wanna say, say what you wanna say ?

? Say what you wanna say, say what you wanna say ?
