Kiara, you are my star.

Milestone, you are my moon.

With this ring,

you join the chain of my ancestors
that goes back centuries.

Thank you for being mine.

Thank you for being you.

You fill me with love.
You fill me with light.

No, no, no, no. See, you play too much.
You already know I gotta wake up early.

I gotta open up the
gym in the morning.

Tell me why you love
this song again.

'Cause the first
time I heard it,

I was so struck by it,

I immediately had to
figure out who it was by,

so I could listen
to it all the time.

Just like the first
time I saw you.

I was so struck by you, I
had to find out who you were,

so I could find a way to get
next to you every single day.

Kinda creepy.

I think you're gonna
like how this night ends.

Ah!

When I studied in Benin,

I realized the Vodún teachings
my grandmother gave me

connect me to generations
of strength, beauty, love.

I want to help others change
their perspective on Vodún.

Well, then that's
what you should write.

Oh, but changing my dissertation
course at this point,

that would set us back so much.

I should just finish it
and get a teaching job.

Nah, that's weak.

You gotta write what you love.

The gym is actually doing really good,
so we don't have to worry about it.

I got us right now.

Then when them bestseller
checks start rolling in...

-I'll be your sugar mama?
-Mm-hmm.

I'ma keep my fade tight and
my body right, and that's it.

That's all you need to do.

I'll keep you around.

The chain that held me
together is broken, Miles.

I am broken.

I can't be fixed.

The rituals about strength
and protection don't work.

I don't think I'd be able
to carry on without you.

I'd better not mess this up,

or you're gonna put a root on me
and stick pins in my voodoo doll.

Keep joking and you
might invite the wrath.

Is that what you did?

You put a root on me?

'Cause it does feel like you
got me under some kind of spell.

Miles?

Miles?

Hello?

You're not getting my texts?

I...

There was a...

There was...

There was a buzzing sound...

I came out here and the
lights weren't working

and the door was
open, and then...

And then it wasn't.

But the record player...

The record player was
playing on its own.

And it wouldn't stop, and...

I swear it was.

Look, you obviously
have had a lot to drink,

so you're probably
just hearing things.

I know what I heard,
Miles. It wasn't...

Is this you?

You thought you'd
play a little joke?

It's not funny.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

I sent you at least five
texts today, telling you

-I was coming to get my things.
-Oh.

We gotta be outta here so the realtor
could show the house over the weekend.

Where are the boxes with
the rest of my shit? Huh?

'Cause I'm not trying to
be stuck here forever.

No, you heard it.

You heard it.

-You heard it.
-Whoa, Ki, Ki.

Ki, you good?

Relax, relax. It's fine.

Listen, okay? Just sit down.

Sit down.

Just sit down.

You're still wearing it.

Yeah. Sometimes
it's just easier.

I should probably stick
around for a little bit

and help you get this shit
packed and ready to go.

Just leave it.

I can do it myself.

You are not gonna be
able to do this yourself.

And you can get rid of that.

You know that record player
was my favorite birthday gift?

It's broken.

Just throw it away.

Nothing lasts forever.

Why don't you just
get some sleep, Kiara?

I think that's a good idea. I think
you should just get some sleep.

I can't sleep.

You know that.

I never sleep.

Oakland, California
gives us Miles Williams.

One of the best fighters we've
seen out of there in a long time.

This is a nightmare match up.

Oh, he's gotta tap.
He's gotta tap.

I mean, you hate to see something
happen to that much promise.

Sabrina?

Sabrina? I'm sorry,
I can't understand.

Ah! Oh, God!

Miles!

Milestone, you are my moon.

With this ring,

you join the chain of my ancestors
that goes back centuries.

You fill me with light.

What's going on here?

That's what I
would like to know.

...what I could
have possibly done

to make me deserve somebody...

The room didn't just
unpack itself, Miles.

This is insane.

Well, the movers are gonna
be here in 30 minutes,

so just...

go ahead and go.

I can help. I used
to live here, too.

A lot of help this is.

I don't know why you
have an attitude.

I'm not the one who spent
the whole night reminiscing.

I've got an attitude because
this broken record player

must have sent you a
message from the ancestors

to come and do a
bunch of dumb shit

and empty out all the boxes

that's supposed to be on the
moving truck in 30 minutes.

-Wow.
-Maybe it wasn't the broken record player.

Maybe it was the vodka that
made you do this dumb-ass shit.

Yeah.

That's what it was, Miles.

It was the vodka.

It was crazy, drunk Kiara,

and her masks and her
books and her spells.

Yeah, that's what it was.

Crazy, drunk Kiara.

Go on, let crazy Kiara...

take care of everything

in a drunken stupor.

Possessed!

And completely out of her mind.

You know what?

This is turning into something it
don't even need to be right now.

Ki...

obviously, you got something you need
to say to me, you want to tell me.

You're going about it
the wrong way. What's up?

No, why don't you use
your words, Miles?

All I have done is talk
and talk and tell you,

and try to communicate with
you, but you don't listen.

You never fucking listen!

-You've never listened!
-All I do is listen!

We went to therapy for months,

and I sat there and I
listened, and I listened!

All therapy did was
satisfy your hero complex.

"Hero complex." "Narcissism."

All you did was use therapy to get a
bunch of new words to use against me.

You watched the words
come out of my mouth,

and you refused to hear me!

I tried to help us move forward.
What's so bad about that?

Sorry I couldn't move on.

I'm sorry you left.

I can't believe
you even said that.

You have no idea how hard
it was for me to leave.

Oh, really?

But you still left, Miles.

And now you can pity me from
afar and say you didn't crumble.

You wear it like
a fucking badge!

-I ain't even...
-What?

What?

Now you feel guilty?

I was willing to forgive you,
but you let him come between us.

Fuck you!

The movers are here.

Mrs. Williams?

This don't make any sense.

Mrs. Williams?

Yeah, sorry. Hold on, hold on!

Try the back door?

Okay.

You gotta be kidding me.

-It's a nice neighborhood, though.
-Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Really quiet.

Hey!

I mean, who books movers and
doesn't show up? It's crazy, right?

Hey! You can't see me?!

-What's the rule? Fifteen minutes?
-Yeah.

I'm just gonna leave a note.

Wait!

-Don't leave me in here!
-Wait!

I am sore.

Move.

Open the door!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Do you hear that?

I don't hear shit.

Miles!

I'm about to go change clothes.

Hello?

Kiara.

What are you doing?

What are you doing? You okay?

Nothing.

Nothing.

It's nothing.

Are you okay?

What?

I don't...

I...

Mm, it's nothing. I...

I can't...

Well, just say it. What?

I think there's a Vodún
spirit in the house.

No, no, no, no.

Don't start with that.

What else could it be, Miles?

I remember a legend in Benin...

about a spirit...

that traps people in the house.

That's bullshit. Just stop.

I'm not crazy.

I'm not crazy, Miles.

You said so yourself. You don't
have faith in that anymore.

All the root work this,
practitioner shit.

Your ancestors are
connected to love.

Because if that was true, we wouldn't
even be in this situation at all.

So, do not say that to me.

Think about it, Miles.

What dragged you
across the room?

You don't have to believe
it for it to be true.

What?

Miles?!

What you in here
trying to do? A séance?

Look.

Look at what?

You don't see the symbol?

I see a blank page in a
notebook that's on top of a box.

You can't see it?

It's a blank page right there.

It's the Oya.

It represents the African
goddess of death and rebirth.

The spirit's trying to
communicate with us.

And what are you
gonna say to it, Ki?

What are you gonna say to this
spirit that's trying to communicate?

Miles.

Do not say anything to me

unless you have an actual plan
that's gonna get us outta here.

I already told you
what's going on.

That's your problem. You never
want to deal with real life,

what's actually in front of you.

You're saying this is my fault?

If you would've taken
accountability for your actions,

we would've never ended up
in this situation at all.

You literally burnt down every
single thing that we built together.

Is that it?

Or is it the fact that every
time something gets too hard,

you give up?

Coward.

-I'm a fucking coward?
-Yeah.

Good luck dealing
with all the shit

that's happening in
this house by yourself.

And when this whole thing is over, we
never have to see each other again.

What?

What now? What?

Goddamn!

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Get down!

Miles.

"Dear Ki",

"AKA, Ki Money.

I can't believe you done broke me down
to a guy who writes love letters."

Williams has gotta get
his head off the line.

Let's go, Mayhem!

Get up, Williams!

That's a gator walk
into a guillotine.

That is a recipe
for nighty-nights.

Come on, Mayhem!

Time! Done.

To your corners!
To your corners!

Get up, Williams! Let's
go! Come on, Mayhem!

Get your head up and hit him.

You get him on the floor

and then throw some punches.

Use that to your advantage...

"And you know I'm no James
Baldwin or Kiara Guillory"

"with the words, you feel me?

"But the first time I saw you,

I knew I didn't want to spend
another day without you in my life."

Just give him a taste
of his own medicine.

Put him on his back.

Keep him on his
feet. Push him off...

You got this.

I don't know who this guy is.

His corner man's gotta
be really proud of him.

He's now got his
head off the line.

He's bobbing and weaving.

He's the guy we thought
we were gonna see.

Yeah, well, he's setting
him up with a double leg.

And he dunked him.

And now ground and pound.

That's the opposite
guy than we saw before.

Ground and pound again.

Well, here comes a
rear naked choke.

Way to go, Miles Williams.

That's a heck of a good fight.

"I was training today",

"and I couldn't stop
thinking about you.

"Like, why is this
happening to me?"

"It's crazy to be thinking
about one person this much."

"Is this normal?"

"You're a mysterious vibe I just
can't quite put my finger on."

"I feel like I'ma
drown in your depth."

"I wish I understood it.

But maybe it's better I can't."

Slip. Slip.

Now remember, you gotta keep
your hands up. Come on. Uh!

"I admire your spirit, Ki."

Oh!

"It's so free."

"It's scary how much
I'm wrapped into you."

"You know you got me."

"I love you."

"My Milestone."

"I fancy myself a writer, but
when I try to find the words"

"to express how
you make me feel,"

"words fail me."

"That's how you know
it's true love."

"When I look into your
eyes, the world falls away."

"Time stops,"

"and I find myself gazing
at my wildest dream."

"One I never want
to wake up from."

"A dream I want
to last forever."

"A dream where I
can take flight"

"and soar to the highest heights
in the safety of your arms,"

"where nothing can hurt me."

"And then you smile..."

"And I fall in love
all over again."

"No one has ever loved
me the way you do."

"I love you.

You are my moon."

Kiara.

Kiara.

Kiara.

Hey.

This can't be real.

Ki!

Ah!

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Ki.

You gotta keep your hands up.

Miles.

You're my North Star.

Miles.

Wait.

Ki.

Kiara.

Wake up.

Hey. Wake up.

Ki.

Kiara. Kiara, you okay?

Oh, goddamn.

Oh, I have a headache.

Of course you do.

You were probably
drinking all day.

People get headaches when
they just lay in the house

and fucking drink all day.

What's wrong now?

What do you think is wrong, Ki?

You laying there, stiff.

I can't even tell if you
breathing or not. I thought you...

You thought what?

No. Sorry, baby.

-It's not your lucky day.
-Stop.

Stop what?

"Stop, stop. Stop breathing."

Ki.

-Please. Ki...
-Mm, that'd be a dream come true.

-Why are you doing this to yourself?
-Doing what?

Can't take a nap.
Can't have a drink.

Have a drink with me.

I cannot keep living
like this, Ki.

I'm telling you, I
cannot keep doing this.

We gotta figure something out.

'Cause this?

It has to stop.

You can't?

Then don't.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Miles?

Stop.

Miles.

Miles!

My Milestone.

Don't do that.

Don't do that to me.

If I stay, then what?

What will it be...

if I stay?

Fine.

You wanna go?

Go.

-I'm sorry.
-Miles.

Miles. Miles!

How did I get right here?

I...

You're okay.

I don't...

What are you doing?

What is that?

This is my grandmother's
book of spells.

These are all unfinished.

Oh, Miles. I don't know.

There's my mom's handwriting.

Looks like she was trying
to translate some notes.

She used to do
these meditations.

-Like rituals?
-Yeah, like healing rituals.

But I was so young
when she died, I...

never really held on to it.

She was a great teacher.

Yeah, I wish I
could have met her.

She would've loved you.

I tried to conjure her
spirit once, when I was 16.

I wasn't powerful enough.

Did you ever try to
conjure another spirit?

No.

Hold on.

What?

I can't believe I was
gonna give this away.

The notes say millet flour...

water...

and something personal,

like this amethyst
necklace my mom gave me...

...could help lead
me to my ancestors.

I found our old love letters.

Oh, no. How corny were they?

-They were really sweet.
-So, super corny?

They reminded me of
how we used to be.

When did we stop fighting
for each other like that?

We should get started.

-Is this that sage shit?
-Yeah.

I know you don't like it,

but the notes say we need
to stay open and receive.

We never know what will
be revealed in this realm.

Are you sure you
want to do this?

We give thanks to the
ancestors and the most high.

Focus on our connections
to the moments.

The song.

The visions.

The chaos. All of it.

What do you need us to know?
What are you trying to tell us?

Ki, what's wrong?

Ki, are you okay?

Oh, shit!

Kiara.

Ki!

Ki!

Am I dead?

No. You're in
our sacred place.

It's not your time
to join us yet.

Who are you?

I'm a link in the chain
of the Guillory women

that live yesterday,
today, and tomorrow.

I'm so lost.

You know you must
rejoin the chain.

But you can't do it alone.

The moon needs its star.

All that you need is
sitting beside you now.

All you have to do is listen.

Listen...

It's time for you
to truly embrace us.

"Dear Miles."

"I failed you."

"I failed us."

"The story wasn't
supposed to end this way,"

"but the weight of it
all is unbearable."

"I don't wanna be here anymore."

"I have to end it all.

I'm so sorry."

I think I found a way for us
to get out of here, Miles.

You wanna kill yourself?

Where are you going?

I find your suicide note, and
you don't wanna talk about it?

Ki.

Ki?

So, what was all this for?

Was it just a show?

All the packing and
the selling the house?

I took care of everything.

I did everything, so that you
wouldn't have to worry about anything.

You did not take care of everything.
You took care of everything except you.

I...

I couldn't...

There was nothing left
to take care of, Miles.

I was devastated
every morning...

because I woke up
from the night before.

Do you know what that's like?

I hate who I am.

I can't stand to
look at myself.

I am not the same
person you married.

That's okay.

I'm not the same man
that you married.

I just wanted you to come to me.

That's it.

I gotta finish this.

I know you don't
believe any of this.

Whatever's in this house
needs to know we honor it.

Bring the bottle tree so the
evil spirits know to stay away.

The Nyame Dua will tell our
ancestors we need their protection.

Crystals will channel
our connection.

The circle of my mother's salt.

Candles will light our way.

Join me in the circle.

I'll try and remember
the dance I saw in Benin

that helped the matriarchs
connect with their spirits.

I think you're gonna
like how this night ends.

I have a surprise for you.

Suspense.

Alright, what?

I love you.

I love you, too.

I love you so much.

You are my moon, Milestone.

And we are so blessed to have
this marriage and this love.

I... I feel like the
luckiest woman in the world.

And now...

we get to grow our tribe.

Are we pregnant?

Wait, let me see. Hold on!

You... You can't hear
the heartbeat yet.

My child has a strong heartbeat.

I could probably hear it.

My God, I love you so much.

Come in for a water landing.

Okay, Jeremiah! It's party
time. Let's get you dressed.

Aw, Mom, can I swim for a
little bit longer, please?

Please?

You wanna open up one
of your gifts early?

-Happy birthday!
-Happy birthday!

It's a Bell P-39 Airacobra
remote-control plane!

Yes, it is!

Now I can practice all
my flight maneuvers!

Whoo!

It's just like the
Tuskegee Airmen.

I've always wanted one! Thank
you. I love you so much.

-We love you, J.
-Aw.

We love you, baby.

-Oh, are you so happy?
-Yeah, so super.

-Aw.
-My little Tuskegee Airman!

Sit down. Let's take
it for a test spin.

This is First Lieutenant
Jeremiah Williams.

Williams mission...

...assignment, do you copy?

I copy. This is air
traffic control.

And I have your first mission ready,
First Lieutenant Jeremiah Williams.

Only if you choose to accept it. Do
you choose to accept your mission?

Please let me know
with a strong "copy."

May I... ...hear
the mission first?

Uh, yeah, yeah, your first mission
is to have an amazing birthday.

Can you handle that mission?

Of course I can, air traffic
control. Mission gladly accepted.

-Roger that.
-But if you're gonna fly as fast

as a Bell P-39 Airacobra,
you might need this.

Another one?!

Oh, another one before it was
time to open up the gifts?

Come on. Birthdays
only come once a year.

Ooh, how does it look, Mama?

The most handsome
little pilot I ever saw.

Oh!

What time is it? I gotta...

-It's time to go.
-Oh, wait. Hold on.

-This is air traffic control. Go for me.
-What's happening?

Oh, unfortunately, I have
to make another pit stop.

Gotta pick up a few things.

But fly safe in my absence,
please. Do you copy?

Good gracious!

Thank you for enjoying
our party anyway.

Fly safe. I'll be right back.

Mwah.

Okay, bye.

Okay, Lieutenant, we
gotta get you dressed.

You gotta be fresh
for your birthday!

Oops, forgot Fren.

Excuse me, First Lieutenant.
No flying in the house.

-Aw, Mom, please?
-I'm serious, baby. Mwah.

Airmen only fly in the open sky.

-Hi, Sabrina.
-Hi, Kiara.

How's it going?

Have you thought
about your next book?

Oh, my God, yes! I...

-Really?
-Absolutely.

I... I have so many ideas

about how to expand the
world and the characters.

Great, because the publisher
wants to put you on a book tour.

Mommy, I almost did it!

Jeremiah, I'm on a call. I
said no flying in the house.

Go out front, and I'll watch
you from the window, okay?

Okay.

I love you.

Yeah, sorry. He's just...

He's really excited
about his gift.

Ah, yes! Monday's great.

I would love that.

Flying over Benin.

Ah! Oh, my God, Sabrina!

-The New York Times?
-Mm-hmm.

-They actually said that?
-Verbatim.

Oh, my God.

Yes.

Okay, so let's set up a call.

Yes. Absolutely.

Okay. When? Yeah.

This is First Lieutenant Jeremiah
and Second Lieutenant Fren

starting nosedive
in T-minus three...

...two, one.

Oh, no.

Kiara, The New York Times is calling
you "the voice of the future."

Thank you so much for
believing in me, Sabrina.

Yeah, I'm gonna get back to cooking
for this little man's party.

Of course.

Okay, talk soon.

Mission Control, Daddy
is back with the goods!

What's wrong?

Sabrina just called and...

said she just booked
me a book tour!

That's amazing!

Well, let's get the
party started, then.

-Yes.
-Where's J?

He's out front.

No, he's not.

-You didn't see him?
-No.

Jeremiah!

Buddy!

God!

He's not out there.

Where is this boy?

Probably hiding again. Jeremiah!

Jeremiah, come on.
It's party time!

Jeremiah?

J!

If you want birthday
cake, you gotta come out!

J?

Okay, come out, baby. You know I
don't like it when you do this.

Jeremiah!

J!

-J!
-No!

J!

Oh! Oh! Oh, God! Come on, baby.

Come on.

Here, take him, take him.

Come on, baby. No! No.

Call 911!

Baby. Call 911!

-No!
-Is he breathing?

Yeah, so we just pulled
my son out of the pool.

Ki, is he breathing
yet? Keep pumping!

-Keep pumping his chest!
-Oh, God!

I need you to get here
right now, please!

J, can you hear me?

-Breathe, buddy. Breathe.
-Come on, baby!

It's not playtime anymore.

Let me try. Jeremiah.

It's okay. No, it's okay.

Okay...

What do I do? What did I do?

Somebody help us!

Oh, no!

J! Breathe!

Come on, breathe,
buddy. Breathe!

J!

No! No!

No, no, no!

No!

We can't wait. We can't wait.

Come on, we can't
wait. Let's go!

Let's go. Let's go.

It's all my fault.

Don't say that.

I stopped watching
him for 60 seconds...

and he was gone.

I'll never hear him say,

"I love you, Mommy."

I'll never kiss
his forehead again.

I'll never kiss his cheek.

I'm not a mother anymore.

You'll always be his mother.

Just like I'll always be
his father, no matter what.

I couldn't bring myself
to say this to anybody...

but after the accident, I, um...

...I kept having this dream

about Jeremiah and, um...

In the dream, he
was in the pool.

But he was, like...
he was happy.

He was laughing, he was
smiling. He was all...

He was asking me all
kind of random questions,

insisting I call him
First Lieutenant.

He's so beautiful
in the dream.

He's perfect in
the dream. Perfect.

And then I'd, um...

I wake up and I'm
in cold sweats.

So, it just got to the
point where, like...

...I was scared to go to sleep

because...

I'd wake up and he'd still be...

So, it was almost worse,
like seeing him all the time,

and then waking
up, and he's not...

He's not...

But then...

I was losing you
at the same time.

So, when you called me a
coward, you were right.

Because...

I was scared that
I was gonna break.

And just...

I didn't know how to handle it.

I didn't know what to do, so
I said I was moving forward.

But really, I was just scared.

I didn't know you
were hurting so much.

I was so wrapped
up in my own pain.

I'm so tired.

I'm so tired, Miles.

I know you are, too.

I'm exhausted, Ki.

Absolutely exhausted.

You're the smart one, but I know we
gotta find a way to get past this.

We gotta forgive
ourselves for all of it.

Hi, Mommy.

Don't cry. Don't be sad.

I'm not sad, baby.

I'm not sad. I'm so
happy to see you.

Hi, Daddy.

I can't believe you're here.

I'm always here with you.

I wanted to help you
and Daddy stay together.

It was you the whole time?

I had to fix the chain
that connects us.

I get to fly
whenever I want now.

I miss you so much.

I love you.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay. It's not your fault.

Thank you.

Fly with the ancestors, baby.
