1
00:00:13,535 --> 00:00:15,754
Keep an eye out
for her dearly beloved.

2
00:00:15,841 --> 00:00:18,018
Little bird told me
Shadow's on his way.

3
00:00:19,410 --> 00:00:20,716
I just need to get to Cairo.

4
00:00:20,803 --> 00:00:21,978
It's Cay-row.

5
00:00:22,065 --> 00:00:23,501
It's Cay-row? Cay-row?

6
00:00:24,850 --> 00:00:29,551
I was old in the desert before they
sacrificed the first horse to you.

7
00:00:29,638 --> 00:00:31,640
I will be heard.

8
00:00:31,727 --> 00:00:35,296
I wonder,
if you don't choose a side,

9
00:00:35,383 --> 00:00:37,733
will you be trampled by both?

10
00:00:40,475 --> 00:00:44,044
Mrs. Moon and I have
a date with my old friend Argus.

11
00:00:44,131 --> 00:00:46,959
- The man with all the eyes.
- Argus Penoptes.

12
00:00:47,047 --> 00:00:48,135
I need you to kill him.

13
00:00:48,222 --> 00:00:49,832
He's been playing both sides

14
00:00:49,919 --> 00:00:51,877
and I need to get him
off the field.

15
00:00:51,964 --> 00:00:54,054
He dies, your coin recharges.

16
00:00:54,141 --> 00:00:59,146
Live to see the future with Shadow that
you've put so much unearned faith in.

17
00:00:59,233 --> 00:01:02,453
I told Argus
to upgrade this hub eons ago!

18
00:01:02,540 --> 00:01:05,413
Get your man in line!

19
00:01:06,283 --> 00:01:07,545
Um, guys?

20
00:01:09,069 --> 00:01:10,331
Never mind.

21
00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:48,288
Listen.

22
00:05:04,173 --> 00:05:05,435
I know Bach.

23
00:05:05,522 --> 00:05:06,610
Listen.

24
00:05:11,006 --> 00:05:14,357
He'd only just returned from a trip
to find that his wife had died.

25
00:05:15,402 --> 00:05:17,273
Bach had already lost
three children.

26
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:20,755
He would lose seven more.

27
00:05:23,932 --> 00:05:25,412
This is grief.

28
00:05:26,543 --> 00:05:27,631
And yet...

29
00:05:29,677 --> 00:05:31,374
The rising notes of joy...

30
00:05:33,115 --> 00:05:35,030
...shattering his own rules.

31
00:05:36,945 --> 00:05:38,338
Can you hear it?

32
00:05:42,603 --> 00:05:44,953
This is how men like me pray.

33
00:06:34,176 --> 00:06:35,656
Play it again.

34
00:07:24,792 --> 00:07:25,967
This is...

35
00:07:28,186 --> 00:07:30,754
It's beautiful, like Bach.

36
00:07:32,539 --> 00:07:33,583
You composed this?

37
00:07:34,932 --> 00:07:37,935
Well, I-I created the engine
that did.

38
00:07:38,022 --> 00:07:41,373
I translated all of Bach's
cantatas into a database

39
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:43,158
then wrote a program
that segmented the notes

40
00:07:43,245 --> 00:07:44,899
into digital objects

41
00:07:44,986 --> 00:07:48,946
the way that Bach statistically
intended to. Um...

42
00:07:52,907 --> 00:07:56,780
But everything it created was
mechanical, artificial.

43
00:07:56,867 --> 00:07:59,174
The real insight was
in programming

44
00:07:59,261 --> 00:08:02,220
violations
to the predictable variations.

45
00:08:04,353 --> 00:08:06,660
I gave it permission
to shatter the rules.

46
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:10,620
The computer composed this?

47
00:08:11,621 --> 00:08:12,622
Yeah.

48
00:08:21,022 --> 00:08:22,850
It's writing more now.

49
00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:29,629
I'm glad you came.

50
00:10:46,950 --> 00:10:48,299
No, no, no, no.

51
00:10:49,692 --> 00:10:52,521
My wife, she'll kill you.

52
00:11:17,328 --> 00:11:18,678
Not me.

53
00:12:11,382 --> 00:12:13,254
Let it happen.

54
00:12:52,249 --> 00:12:53,642
Now rest.

55
00:13:05,436 --> 00:13:06,437
Let it go.

56
00:14:19,336 --> 00:14:20,337
Good morning.

57
00:14:21,991 --> 00:14:23,645
Did you sleep well?

58
00:14:26,213 --> 00:14:27,214
Huh?

59
00:14:28,780 --> 00:14:30,434
Did you sleep well?

60
00:14:34,134 --> 00:14:35,309
Well, there was...

61
00:14:35,396 --> 00:14:36,353
Well...

62
00:14:39,139 --> 00:14:42,403
Yeah. Yeah, it was good.

63
00:14:42,490 --> 00:14:43,534
Good.

64
00:14:53,283 --> 00:14:57,635
So, this is a coroner's office?

65
00:14:57,722 --> 00:15:01,552
Coroners are a political
appointment around here.

66
00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:04,207
His job is to kick the corpse.

67
00:15:04,294 --> 00:15:07,297
If it doesn't kick him back,
he signs the death certificate.

68
00:15:07,384 --> 00:15:10,126
I'm what they call a prosector.

69
00:15:10,213 --> 00:15:12,041
I work for the county
medical examiner.

70
00:15:12,128 --> 00:15:13,651
I do autopsies and save

71
00:15:13,738 --> 00:15:16,002
tissue samples for analysis.

72
00:15:16,089 --> 00:15:18,395
In addition, we are
a funeral parlor,

73
00:15:18,482 --> 00:15:21,746
serving Cairo, Illinois,
since 1863

74
00:15:21,833 --> 00:15:25,228
when it was a flourishing town
at the crossing of two rivers.

75
00:15:26,316 --> 00:15:28,971
We could go back much longer
than that, of course,

76
00:15:29,058 --> 00:15:32,714
but it wasn't until the War Between
the States that we found our niche.

77
00:15:33,715 --> 00:15:36,936
That was when we became thefuneral
parlor for the colored folks hereabouts.

78
00:15:43,899 --> 00:15:47,859
Before that, no one
thought of us as colored...

79
00:15:49,078 --> 00:15:54,257
Foreign maybe, exotic and dark,
but not colored.

80
00:15:54,344 --> 00:15:58,000
And it's strange, when they talk
about African Americans.

81
00:15:58,087 --> 00:16:01,047
My colleagues and I never
thought of ourselves as African.

82
00:16:01,134 --> 00:16:03,353
We were the people of the Nile.

83
00:16:06,095 --> 00:16:09,881
And then you settle in a town
called Cairo?

84
00:16:09,969 --> 00:16:11,100
Seems appropriate.

85
00:16:11,187 --> 00:16:13,624
Mm. Chicken. Egg.

86
00:16:24,505 --> 00:16:25,854
Was there, uh...

87
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,552
Was there anyone else around?

88
00:16:30,902 --> 00:16:34,036
She's not here. Your wife.

89
00:16:37,648 --> 00:16:38,823
You know where she is?

90
00:16:44,438 --> 00:16:45,482
No.

91
00:16:46,962 --> 00:16:48,572
Mr. Ibis, please.

92
00:16:50,444 --> 00:16:52,794
They're different
when they come back.

93
00:16:53,969 --> 00:16:56,450
Like any formative
life experience,

94
00:16:56,537 --> 00:16:58,887
death changes you.

95
00:17:01,890 --> 00:17:03,631
I'm sure your wife is lovely,

96
00:17:03,718 --> 00:17:06,547
but she's not the same
person she was.

97
00:17:11,639 --> 00:17:12,857
Good. You're up!

98
00:17:14,946 --> 00:17:18,080
So, should we seize the day by the ass
before she finds a new dance partner?

99
00:17:19,125 --> 00:17:21,040
And then, where would we be,
huh?

100
00:17:21,910 --> 00:17:25,000
Like floral patterns on a wall.

101
00:17:27,959 --> 00:17:30,919
Oh. What a beautiful day
for a drive, Shadow.

102
00:17:32,921 --> 00:17:35,141
Did you get a
good night's sleep, huh?

103
00:17:35,228 --> 00:17:38,361
Time to heal your wounds?
Someone to lick your wounds? Mm?

104
00:17:40,015 --> 00:17:42,278
I need to find Laura.

105
00:17:42,365 --> 00:17:44,889
She's around here somewhere. I don't
know why, it's weird, but I feel it.

106
00:17:44,976 --> 00:17:48,545
Only humans could've come up with
monogamy, an unnatural concept.

107
00:17:48,632 --> 00:17:50,460
Enjoy your life, my boy.

108
00:17:50,547 --> 00:17:53,072
Fuck it, embrace it, exercise
neither temperance nor restraint,

109
00:17:53,159 --> 00:17:54,899
and leave the past
where it belongs:

110
00:17:54,986 --> 00:17:58,077
in the past.
Now, forward to St. Louis.

111
00:17:59,382 --> 00:18:01,254
What's in St. Louis?

112
00:18:01,341 --> 00:18:04,344
Big city, big money.

113
00:18:04,431 --> 00:18:07,173
Betty here doesn't run on
butterflies and wishes.

114
00:18:07,260 --> 00:18:10,393
Money is the most influential
god in America.

115
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,831
Untouchable asshole,
but his stock never falls.

116
00:18:53,958 --> 00:18:55,699
How you know Gramma?

117
00:18:56,874 --> 00:18:58,746
You friends with Ida?

118
00:18:58,833 --> 00:18:59,921
Who's Ida?

119
00:19:00,878 --> 00:19:01,923
My mother.

120
00:19:05,187 --> 00:19:09,539
You look city, so I thought
maybe you came here with her.

121
00:19:10,845 --> 00:19:11,889
No.

122
00:19:13,978 --> 00:19:15,415
No. Figures.

123
00:19:16,503 --> 00:19:18,157
She's not coming down here.

124
00:19:20,681 --> 00:19:24,511
So, what, you just
here touristing?

125
00:19:24,598 --> 00:19:26,643
I came for a man named Shadow.

126
00:19:29,516 --> 00:19:30,517
Oh.

127
00:19:32,432 --> 00:19:34,260
I'm sorry for your loss.

128
00:19:43,138 --> 00:19:44,879
This casket is empty.

129
00:19:47,403 --> 00:19:49,710
They've got her in the back.

130
00:19:49,797 --> 00:19:52,147
The service is in a day or two.

131
00:19:52,234 --> 00:19:53,670
Then who do you pray to?

132
00:19:55,411 --> 00:19:59,633
Reverend Hutchins says that all
things are a matter of ideas.

133
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,290
And God is just one idea.

134
00:20:05,813 --> 00:20:08,032
The good reverend enjoys
the theatre.

135
00:20:10,121 --> 00:20:11,471
He's quoting Beneatha.

136
00:20:12,428 --> 00:20:13,908
Who?

137
00:20:13,995 --> 00:20:15,779
Beneatha grew tired of God

138
00:20:15,866 --> 00:20:19,043
getting credit for all the
things the human race achieves

139
00:20:19,130 --> 00:20:20,697
through stubborn effort.

140
00:20:22,525 --> 00:20:26,268
Beneatha is the daughter and
nonbeliever from A Raisin in the Sun.

141
00:20:29,228 --> 00:20:32,666
A woman's heart should never be
so hidden in God

142
00:20:32,753 --> 00:20:34,537
that she cannot
hear her own truth.

143
00:20:39,020 --> 00:20:40,804
According to Maya Angelou,

144
00:20:40,891 --> 00:20:42,241
a woman's heart

145
00:20:43,154 --> 00:20:44,982
should be hidden in God

146
00:20:46,767 --> 00:20:50,292
so that a man has to seek Him

147
00:20:51,206 --> 00:20:54,165
just to find her.

148
00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:57,081
My faith is of a different kind.

149
00:20:57,168 --> 00:21:01,347
Must be, the way your ass is crisscrossing
back and forth, across the battlefield.

150
00:21:01,434 --> 00:21:04,741
Hither, tither, and yon

151
00:21:04,828 --> 00:21:06,743
in the middle of a war.

152
00:21:06,830 --> 00:21:09,529
Like you ain't
got a care in the world.

153
00:21:09,616 --> 00:21:11,182
You need not fear me.

154
00:21:13,489 --> 00:21:17,058
World would've had an easier time convincing
me to join him if he had not killed Zorya.

155
00:21:18,233 --> 00:21:20,279
Make sure Wednesday understands.

156
00:21:23,238 --> 00:21:27,024
So, you crisscrossing and
stepping in the name of love?

157
00:21:27,111 --> 00:21:31,290
Would you prefer I hide in a foxhole and
wait until things are more to your liking?

158
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:34,162
I'd need to carefully consider

159
00:21:35,076 --> 00:21:37,034
all the pros and the cons

160
00:21:37,861 --> 00:21:40,168
before I could honestly answer
that question.

161
00:21:41,474 --> 00:21:44,128
So, uh, you two know each other?

162
00:21:45,086 --> 00:21:46,217
Yes.

163
00:21:47,523 --> 00:21:48,916
Biblically.

164
00:21:57,664 --> 00:21:59,187
You're nervous.

165
00:22:00,841 --> 00:22:02,408
The fuck I am.

166
00:22:04,801 --> 00:22:06,150
I need you.

167
00:22:06,934 --> 00:22:09,719
You need me.

168
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,606
Were you there when Media died?

169
00:22:26,693 --> 00:22:29,522
Oh, don't be so aggressively
dense.

170
00:22:29,609 --> 00:22:31,132
She didn't die.

171
00:22:31,219 --> 00:22:33,917
She changed into you.

172
00:22:35,397 --> 00:22:38,400
I still feel her inside me.

173
00:22:38,487 --> 00:22:42,361
I wonder if the next version of
me will feel me inside of her?

174
00:22:42,448 --> 00:22:45,799
And then the next version
will feel all of us?

175
00:22:51,631 --> 00:22:53,415
Don't you wonder
about this stuff?

176
00:22:54,460 --> 00:22:55,504
Do you...

177
00:22:57,985 --> 00:23:01,292
You know the difference between
people and animals?

178
00:23:02,337 --> 00:23:03,382
Hmm?

179
00:23:05,775 --> 00:23:10,650
People are aware they're
going to die someday.

180
00:23:11,781 --> 00:23:14,915
And pray to the
Old Gods to stop it.

181
00:23:15,002 --> 00:23:18,092
But an animal is ignorant.

182
00:23:20,877 --> 00:23:22,401
I don't get your point.

183
00:23:22,488 --> 00:23:27,710
My point is Media is not
a person or an animal.

184
00:23:27,797 --> 00:23:32,106
She, unlike you, understood
she's a fucking God.

185
00:24:01,265 --> 00:24:04,094
I trust you know why
I summoned you.

186
00:24:07,054 --> 00:24:10,187
Argus.
It's a setback, for sure.

187
00:24:10,274 --> 00:24:11,275
No!

188
00:24:13,669 --> 00:24:16,672
No, no.

189
00:24:16,759 --> 00:24:19,936
No more excuses.

190
00:24:20,763 --> 00:24:24,332
War is won...

191
00:24:25,289 --> 00:24:26,987
...with what?

192
00:24:27,074 --> 00:24:30,077
- Information.
- Information.

193
00:24:32,122 --> 00:24:37,432
Do you know what this is?

194
00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:38,607
Blindness.

195
00:24:38,694 --> 00:24:42,829
This is blindness.

196
00:24:42,916 --> 00:24:45,266
Can you please...

197
00:24:46,876 --> 00:24:50,880
...restore my sight?

198
00:24:50,967 --> 00:24:53,970
Oh! I've... ah! I've got
a plan, brand new network.

199
00:24:54,057 --> 00:24:56,059
Oh... I've got a plan!

200
00:24:56,146 --> 00:24:58,584
I've got a brand new network
that'll be faster than Argus.

201
00:24:58,671 --> 00:25:00,803
I've got a guy in Silicon
Valley who fucking owes me.

202
00:25:01,891 --> 00:25:04,764
It'll be a fucking upgrade.
Trust me!

203
00:25:33,270 --> 00:25:34,228
Hmm...

204
00:26:14,660 --> 00:26:16,618
I wouldn't recommend
trying to pay with that.

205
00:26:18,446 --> 00:26:19,882
Yeah, you got me thinking.

206
00:26:19,969 --> 00:26:22,058
Ah.

207
00:26:22,145 --> 00:26:25,061
In 1933, Roosevelt took the United
States off the Gold Standard, right?

208
00:26:25,148 --> 00:26:27,194
Yeah, so?

209
00:26:27,281 --> 00:26:29,370
So, you can't just go into a bank
and redeem money for gold or silver.

210
00:26:30,980 --> 00:26:33,592
You said money is the most
powerful god in America.

211
00:26:33,679 --> 00:26:35,463
But money isn't actually worth
anything.

212
00:26:37,683 --> 00:26:40,337
I have a piece of paper, hm?

213
00:26:42,383 --> 00:26:44,994
But I want this salt shaker.

214
00:26:45,821 --> 00:26:49,608
You have the salt shaker, but you're
willing to take my piece of paper

215
00:26:49,695 --> 00:26:50,870
for your salt shaker.

216
00:26:51,827 --> 00:26:53,568
Now, why would you do that?

217
00:26:53,655 --> 00:26:55,352
Because...

218
00:26:55,439 --> 00:26:57,441
this isn't actually
a piece of paper; it's a story.

219
00:26:57,528 --> 00:27:01,532
And the story that you've heard
over and over and over again.

220
00:27:01,620 --> 00:27:04,187
And it's been drummed into you
that this is worth something.

221
00:27:04,274 --> 00:27:05,885
This is of value.

222
00:27:05,972 --> 00:27:08,757
No matter what country,
culture, or religion.

223
00:27:08,844 --> 00:27:12,456
The whole world loves... money.

224
00:27:13,632 --> 00:27:15,895
The greatest story ever told.

225
00:27:15,982 --> 00:27:17,636
So, Money.

226
00:27:17,723 --> 00:27:20,856
We get him on our side,
Mr. World won't mean shit.

227
00:27:21,727 --> 00:27:23,467
- Oh.
- Grimnir. What do you want?

228
00:27:23,554 --> 00:27:25,034
Well, a cup of
coffee would be nice.

229
00:27:27,471 --> 00:27:29,125
Don't you work in Wisconsin?

230
00:27:29,212 --> 00:27:31,345
I am at every Motel America.

231
00:27:31,432 --> 00:27:34,391
Entrepreneurship is not
some picnic.

232
00:27:34,478 --> 00:27:37,743
Mama-ji and her followers own more
than half the motels in America.

233
00:27:37,830 --> 00:27:42,530
And we don't achieve this by sitting on our
asses or grifting about like this one.

234
00:27:42,617 --> 00:27:45,272
You think America was eager
to hand over her money bags

235
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,231
to the hungry,
the tired, and the poor?

236
00:27:48,318 --> 00:27:50,364
We battle for every
goddamn scrap.

237
00:27:50,451 --> 00:27:52,322
You love it.

238
00:27:52,409 --> 00:27:54,585
Victory is sweet on the tongue,

239
00:27:54,673 --> 00:27:58,198
and profit is sweet
on the pocket.

240
00:27:58,285 --> 00:28:01,549
But you miss the real battles,
don't you Kali, eh?

241
00:28:01,636 --> 00:28:03,725
The screams and the cries.

242
00:28:03,812 --> 00:28:06,859
I recall the day
you slew Raktabija.

243
00:28:06,946 --> 00:28:09,688
The only sound that day was
the whisper of the wind

244
00:28:09,775 --> 00:28:12,647
whistling
through the blood-soaked grass.

245
00:28:13,779 --> 00:28:16,259
- We had a good time, huh?
- Mm.

246
00:28:32,319 --> 00:28:34,060
He will be the death of you.

247
00:28:34,147 --> 00:28:35,975
You know that, right?

248
00:28:38,804 --> 00:28:40,109
What'd she say?

249
00:28:46,072 --> 00:28:47,943
Welcome. Please scan finger.

250
00:29:05,265 --> 00:29:07,658
Eat a giant bag of dicks.

251
00:29:22,325 --> 00:29:23,370
Uh-huh...

252
00:29:30,159 --> 00:29:31,291
I...

253
00:29:32,814 --> 00:29:35,948
...hate you so much.

254
00:29:59,232 --> 00:30:00,233
Hello, friend.

255
00:30:02,104 --> 00:30:03,062
Hello, friend.

256
00:30:05,064 --> 00:30:07,066
I always thought
I might see you again.

257
00:30:10,112 --> 00:30:11,810
Are you here to show me
something new?

258
00:30:16,031 --> 00:30:18,207
It's time to get back
in the game.

259
00:30:19,382 --> 00:30:22,733
One-point-one-zero-two pounds.

260
00:30:24,474 --> 00:30:26,172
Splenomegaly.

261
00:30:33,570 --> 00:30:36,138
Majesty.

262
00:30:36,225 --> 00:30:38,184
Greetings, Thoth.

263
00:30:38,271 --> 00:30:42,275
You are as lovely as ever.

264
00:30:42,362 --> 00:30:44,364
Liar.

265
00:30:44,451 --> 00:30:47,367
This country has not
been kind to my face.

266
00:30:47,454 --> 00:30:51,284
You are as perfect and
vibrant as the Euphrates.

267
00:30:53,852 --> 00:30:55,201
Your sister.

268
00:30:56,115 --> 00:30:57,507
It has been too long.

269
00:30:58,465 --> 00:31:00,249
Y'all done yet?

270
00:31:00,336 --> 00:31:03,165
'Cuz I'm gettin' bored
watchin' this bullshit.

271
00:31:03,252 --> 00:31:05,211
Why do we fight, Anansi?

272
00:31:05,298 --> 00:31:07,039
We have known each other
since infancy.

273
00:31:07,126 --> 00:31:09,563
We should be on the same side.

274
00:31:09,650 --> 00:31:11,304
I thought we were.

275
00:31:11,391 --> 00:31:12,609
Are we not?

276
00:31:12,696 --> 00:31:14,133
Now, Anansi.

277
00:31:14,220 --> 00:31:16,396
She is one of us.

278
00:31:16,483 --> 00:31:17,571
A survivor.

279
00:31:17,658 --> 00:31:19,399
You old as dirt, bird-beak.

280
00:31:19,486 --> 00:31:21,444
Why the fuck you didn't ride
the carousel?

281
00:31:22,358 --> 00:31:24,317
I choose peace.

282
00:31:26,885 --> 00:31:30,192
Egyptians told tales of
the sacred Book of Thoth,

283
00:31:30,279 --> 00:31:33,413
which contains
the secrets of the Gods

284
00:31:33,500 --> 00:31:36,982
and brings misery, pain,
and suffering

285
00:31:37,069 --> 00:31:39,114
to anyone who reads it.

286
00:31:39,201 --> 00:31:42,857
And grants a bird's-eye view
to he...

287
00:31:44,032 --> 00:31:45,338
Who writes it.

288
00:31:46,730 --> 00:31:50,734
I am old as dirt, and I have
seen things as you have.

289
00:31:50,821 --> 00:31:53,259
Why do you bring this...

290
00:31:53,346 --> 00:31:56,740
...rage to my doorstep?

291
00:31:57,872 --> 00:32:02,659
You ever notice how traveling
makes your mind roll thunder,

292
00:32:02,746 --> 00:32:05,401
like a train moving
down the track?

293
00:32:06,533 --> 00:32:09,971
Except you don't know where the
fuck that mind train is headed.

294
00:32:10,058 --> 00:32:12,931
And then, all of a sudden,
plop...

295
00:32:13,018 --> 00:32:15,324
an idea shits in your head.

296
00:32:15,411 --> 00:32:19,589
And you think that shit
smells good.

297
00:32:19,676 --> 00:32:24,072
Peace is a beautiful
but shitty idea.

298
00:32:25,204 --> 00:32:28,337
Only a Goddess can adorn
the sarcophagus of a God.

299
00:32:29,643 --> 00:32:32,341
So, help me understand what
these New Gods giveth

300
00:32:33,821 --> 00:32:36,084
and what they taketh away.

301
00:32:36,171 --> 00:32:40,088
Your thirst does not inspire our
confidence, only our curiosity.

302
00:32:44,919 --> 00:32:46,355
I am not a God

303
00:32:48,401 --> 00:32:50,925
in the sense that I can tolerate
exploitation, oppression, and repression.

304
00:32:51,012 --> 00:32:55,277
My worshippers know
freedom ain't free.

305
00:32:55,364 --> 00:32:59,890
They know the most potent weapon
of control for the oppressor

306
00:32:59,978 --> 00:33:02,023
is the mind of the oppressed.

307
00:33:02,110 --> 00:33:04,678
They know slavery is not
a condition.

308
00:33:05,984 --> 00:33:08,682
Slavery is a cult.

309
00:33:08,769 --> 00:33:12,033
Human trafficking is a cult.

310
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,820
Slavery got a rebrand like
muthafuckin' the Alt Right.

311
00:33:18,126 --> 00:33:19,475
And... snatched.

312
00:33:21,086 --> 00:33:22,565
Another one gone.

313
00:33:24,654 --> 00:33:26,352
Every 30 seconds,

314
00:33:26,439 --> 00:33:29,572
another chocolate-brown,
caramel, yellow, high-yellow,

315
00:33:29,659 --> 00:33:30,965
red bone, refugee girl

316
00:33:31,052 --> 00:33:35,100
with melanin in her skin
gets snatched.

317
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,888
Every... thirty... seconds.

318
00:33:42,977 --> 00:33:44,761
And to make matters worse,

319
00:33:44,848 --> 00:33:48,156
these dazzling new plantation
owners built a pipeline

320
00:33:49,070 --> 00:33:52,204
to take our children
from school to prison

321
00:33:52,291 --> 00:33:54,293
quicker than a cut can bleed.

322
00:33:55,468 --> 00:33:59,080
And the lucky ones go
from school to the NFL,

323
00:33:59,167 --> 00:34:01,300
where they don't even
let them niggahs take a knee.

324
00:34:02,736 --> 00:34:04,781
They've been programmed
from birth

325
00:34:04,868 --> 00:34:06,783
with shitty food options,

326
00:34:06,870 --> 00:34:10,222
contaminated drinking water,
gun violence, police brutality,

327
00:34:10,309 --> 00:34:13,442
and trauma after trauma
after trauma.

328
00:34:13,529 --> 00:34:16,358
PTSD? No therapy.

329
00:34:16,445 --> 00:34:19,100
Missing? No Amber Alert.

330
00:34:19,187 --> 00:34:20,145
Alone?

331
00:34:22,277 --> 00:34:23,496
Vulnerable.

332
00:34:26,629 --> 00:34:28,196
Snatched.

333
00:34:30,329 --> 00:34:31,982
Another one gone.

334
00:34:33,027 --> 00:34:34,202
I hear you, Brother.

335
00:34:35,203 --> 00:34:37,249
And I hear them.

336
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,600
I hear each voice,

337
00:34:41,688 --> 00:34:44,299
and I write each name.

338
00:34:45,605 --> 00:34:48,695
We have lived long enough to
know these troubles are timeless.

339
00:34:49,696 --> 00:34:52,177
Suffering is not sacred.

340
00:34:52,264 --> 00:34:55,397
And moral law is final.

341
00:34:55,484 --> 00:35:00,010
Sooner or later
they all lay before me.

342
00:35:03,275 --> 00:35:05,103
War need not be the answer.

343
00:35:15,591 --> 00:35:16,636
My Queen.

344
00:35:18,377 --> 00:35:21,510
The world assumes white people
are naturally good.

345
00:35:22,990 --> 00:35:24,818
So when something bad happens,

346
00:35:24,905 --> 00:35:29,039
it's a good person doing
a bad thing.

347
00:35:29,127 --> 00:35:31,216
They assume black people...

348
00:35:32,434 --> 00:35:34,132
are naturally bad,

349
00:35:34,219 --> 00:35:36,482
so when something good happens,

350
00:35:36,569 --> 00:35:39,659
it's only a matter of time
before that animal's true nature

351
00:35:39,746 --> 00:35:43,053
rears its ugly head.

352
00:35:43,141 --> 00:35:45,882
How much longer
can we afford to wait?

353
00:35:47,493 --> 00:35:52,280
You keep track of days, numbering the years
for scribes that record human history.

354
00:35:53,412 --> 00:35:54,978
Do you see progress?

355
00:35:56,589 --> 00:36:01,333
I count 1, 2, 3
African Gods in this room,

356
00:36:01,420 --> 00:36:04,162
and two of them want
to exercise restraint,

357
00:36:04,249 --> 00:36:09,689
and let the donkey-work continue
while you live your best life!

358
00:36:10,820 --> 00:36:13,736
War is upon us!

359
00:36:13,823 --> 00:36:16,609
An old white lady is dead.

360
00:36:18,001 --> 00:36:20,961
Wednesday avenges
Zorya Vechernyaya,

361
00:36:21,048 --> 00:36:23,181
but if it was a dead black lady,

362
00:36:25,139 --> 00:36:27,010
like this sweet old soul,

363
00:36:28,925 --> 00:36:30,797
Czernobog's hammer...

364
00:36:33,191 --> 00:36:34,670
...would not swing.

365
00:36:39,371 --> 00:36:41,590
Your words move me, Anansi.

366
00:36:44,114 --> 00:36:45,203
You see me.

367
00:36:46,595 --> 00:36:48,597
You and Ibis see the Goddess,

368
00:36:50,033 --> 00:36:51,078
the Queen.

369
00:36:52,471 --> 00:36:54,995
These men today look
right through me.

370
00:37:12,621 --> 00:37:14,841
This country has done things
to us.

371
00:37:16,234 --> 00:37:20,238
We have done things to us.

372
00:37:22,283 --> 00:37:24,067
So, what do you propose?

373
00:37:25,286 --> 00:37:27,636
I propose we have a drink.

374
00:37:36,297 --> 00:37:38,647
A King needs a Queen.

375
00:37:40,432 --> 00:37:42,912
The death of Argus
left an opening.

376
00:37:42,999 --> 00:37:44,697
Argus was a relic,

377
00:37:44,784 --> 00:37:47,482
a desiccating, necrotising,

378
00:37:47,569 --> 00:37:50,746
geriatric, organic sack of
redundancies.

379
00:37:56,796 --> 00:37:58,580
Fuck that noise!

380
00:37:59,538 --> 00:38:02,628
I fart out a coltan-encased
microchip

381
00:38:02,715 --> 00:38:05,152
in cherry pink
and they line up for miles.

382
00:38:06,371 --> 00:38:07,546
Miles!

383
00:38:08,416 --> 00:38:12,290
To carry trackers,
give up their locations,

384
00:38:12,377 --> 00:38:13,769
bank numbers,

385
00:38:14,727 --> 00:38:17,382
fucking facial IDs!

386
00:38:17,469 --> 00:38:20,298
An endless catalogue
of every fuck,

387
00:38:20,385 --> 00:38:25,259
every bite,
every disgusting nose hair.

388
00:38:27,087 --> 00:38:31,265
Every dirty little secret.

389
00:38:31,352 --> 00:38:34,224
Every whisper they thought
no one could hear.

390
00:38:36,618 --> 00:38:38,968
But I digress.

391
00:38:39,055 --> 00:38:42,363
What I'm here to discuss...

392
00:38:42,450 --> 00:38:43,669
is this.

393
00:38:46,802 --> 00:38:52,242
Argus had a lotta fucking eyes.

394
00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:53,418
But...

395
00:38:57,465 --> 00:39:01,904
I have given of my flesh
to my disciples

396
00:39:04,167 --> 00:39:05,604
and they have returned

397
00:39:05,691 --> 00:39:08,520
the favor one-thousand fold.

398
00:39:10,173 --> 00:39:11,305
And now?

399
00:39:17,877 --> 00:39:20,140
Eyes are...

400
00:39:27,626 --> 00:39:28,714
You get?

401
00:39:29,845 --> 00:39:31,369
You ken?

402
00:39:33,458 --> 00:39:34,894
You comprende?

403
00:39:43,903 --> 00:39:46,079
About time.

404
00:39:46,166 --> 00:39:47,515
Now what're you doing?

405
00:39:47,602 --> 00:39:49,038
What we came to do.

406
00:39:52,738 --> 00:39:54,217
Candy?

407
00:39:54,304 --> 00:39:56,655
Oh, yes. I want a gold bar
and some nuggets.

408
00:39:56,742 --> 00:39:58,221
Credit or debit?

409
00:39:58,308 --> 00:40:00,702
- Oh, credit.
- Name?

410
00:40:00,789 --> 00:40:03,879
Odin. The Alfather.
Never failed to pay for my candy.

411
00:40:03,966 --> 00:40:05,446
Your name?

412
00:40:05,533 --> 00:40:07,405
Oh, he's just my assistant.

413
00:40:07,492 --> 00:40:08,623
Shadow Moon.

414
00:40:14,542 --> 00:40:17,197
There is no account
under the name Shadow Moon.

415
00:40:18,111 --> 00:40:20,505
That's not the name
on his birth certificate.

416
00:40:21,593 --> 00:40:24,030
There is no account
under the name Shadow Moon.

417
00:40:24,117 --> 00:40:26,554
No debit, no credit.

418
00:40:28,687 --> 00:40:31,254
Oh, so, no debit, no credit.
Not even a fucking car loan?

419
00:40:31,341 --> 00:40:33,126
What are you, some
off-the-grid freak?

420
00:40:33,213 --> 00:40:35,345
I never had any need for it.
Laura did it all.

421
00:40:35,433 --> 00:40:38,914
Do you know how much
Money hates that?

422
00:40:39,001 --> 00:40:41,003
Access denied.

423
00:40:41,090 --> 00:40:43,615
No, this man is not relevant.
He's not looking for an audience.

424
00:40:43,702 --> 00:40:45,312
He's just the hired help.

425
00:40:45,399 --> 00:40:47,357
Access denied.

426
00:40:49,708 --> 00:40:51,449
I am the resurrection
and the life.

427
00:40:51,536 --> 00:40:53,668
Those who believe in me will
live, even though they die.

428
00:40:54,713 --> 00:40:56,323
I am the resurrection
and the life.

429
00:40:56,410 --> 00:40:58,238
Those who believe in me
will live, even though they die.

430
00:40:58,325 --> 00:40:59,457
What does He give you?

431
00:41:01,241 --> 00:41:02,460
Jesus?

432
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,553
It's either I pray
or I run five miles.

433
00:41:09,858 --> 00:41:14,210
And I can't run no more, jacked
up my leg in Division One, so...

434
00:41:16,561 --> 00:41:18,127
I guess he gives me comfort.

435
00:41:19,085 --> 00:41:21,479
A God should provide
more than comfort.

436
00:41:25,178 --> 00:41:26,222
He does.

437
00:41:28,964 --> 00:41:30,662
Community.

438
00:41:32,315 --> 00:41:33,752
Feeling like there's a point.

439
00:41:35,231 --> 00:41:37,930
I mean, I'm still mad
about my leg,

440
00:41:39,322 --> 00:41:41,020
but if I hadn't messed it up,

441
00:41:42,151 --> 00:41:45,154
I would probably be in college,

442
00:41:47,069 --> 00:41:50,508
and instead I was here with
Gramma while she was sick, so...

443
00:41:52,727 --> 00:41:54,424
maybe it was meant to be.

444
00:41:57,253 --> 00:41:59,691
And maybe I don't gotta be mad
about it, you know?

445
00:42:05,348 --> 00:42:06,828
"Lord, like Job,

446
00:42:07,829 --> 00:42:09,352
let me be patient."

447
00:42:10,702 --> 00:42:12,921
Job was wealthy.

448
00:42:13,008 --> 00:42:14,532
Did her Lord give her wealth?

449
00:42:17,273 --> 00:42:18,492
This is Cairo!

450
00:42:19,667 --> 00:42:21,843
I don't think money's
got our address.

451
00:42:23,715 --> 00:42:27,414
Last week, I was
reading this blog,

452
00:42:27,501 --> 00:42:32,245
says how in America the black woman makes 60
cents for every dollar a white man makes,

453
00:42:32,332 --> 00:42:35,770
"Well, here in Cairo, honey",

454
00:42:35,857 --> 00:42:38,207
a black woman's lucky if she's
got 2 cents to rub together,

455
00:42:38,294 --> 00:42:40,601
and even if she's got a pocket
full of nickels,

456
00:42:40,688 --> 00:42:42,995
that don't mean that that money's gonna
make her suck a bedsheet up her ass

457
00:42:43,082 --> 00:42:45,214
"and fall asleep on a cloud."

458
00:42:49,567 --> 00:42:51,351
And then she laughed real hard.

459
00:42:54,093 --> 00:42:57,444
She was pretty sick,
but she laughed all the time.

460
00:42:59,359 --> 00:43:02,580
She never let anger or jealousy
guide her.

461
00:43:05,191 --> 00:43:07,106
Had her church,
had her community.

462
00:43:07,193 --> 00:43:11,589
She took care of me and Jamarr
when didn't nobody else want us.

463
00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:13,939
She was content.

464
00:43:15,810 --> 00:43:17,507
He was not content.

465
00:43:20,032 --> 00:43:23,557
He was a rebel, a troublemaker.

466
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,215
They say he died for your sins,
but that is not the truth.

467
00:43:30,869 --> 00:43:33,436
He died because he angered
the men in power.

468
00:43:35,177 --> 00:43:37,484
He refused to be cowed...

469
00:43:39,138 --> 00:43:40,269
controlled.

470
00:43:42,532 --> 00:43:44,926
And now look
at the power he wields,

471
00:43:46,624 --> 00:43:49,496
the worship he commands.

472
00:43:52,542 --> 00:43:54,414
He was onto something.

473
00:43:58,723 --> 00:44:00,246
I'm Ruby.

474
00:44:01,943 --> 00:44:03,249
Ruby Goodchild.

475
00:44:06,556 --> 00:44:08,384
It's good to meet you, Ruby.

476
00:44:12,432 --> 00:44:15,957
Shadow, will you just buy
some fucking candy? Huh?

477
00:44:16,871 --> 00:44:18,307
Do you see me trying?

478
00:44:19,134 --> 00:44:20,875
I mean, look at this. Huh?

479
00:44:20,962 --> 00:44:22,790
They're not gonna sell me
any fucking candy!

480
00:44:22,877 --> 00:44:25,880
Well, Mama-ji just might kill you.
She already wants to kill me.

481
00:44:25,967 --> 00:44:28,448
You know what? Fuck this.

482
00:44:28,535 --> 00:44:30,058
Why me? Huh?

483
00:44:30,145 --> 00:44:31,625
Oh, not that again.

484
00:44:31,712 --> 00:44:33,018
Yeah, this again.
Will you just tell me?

485
00:44:33,105 --> 00:44:34,628
Whimsy.

486
00:44:34,715 --> 00:44:36,586
Why don't you just give me
a fucking answer?

487
00:44:36,674 --> 00:44:38,023
Come on.

488
00:44:38,110 --> 00:44:39,938
- You really want to know?
- Yeah.

489
00:44:41,461 --> 00:44:42,984
You really want to know
why I picked you?

490
00:44:43,071 --> 00:44:44,551
Just tell me.

491
00:44:46,379 --> 00:44:49,425
Well, I picked you because I needed
someone with nothing to live for.

492
00:44:49,512 --> 00:44:52,167
With nothing to go home for.
With no one to miss him or love him

493
00:44:52,254 --> 00:44:54,517
or give a shit if he lives
or dies.

494
00:44:54,604 --> 00:44:58,696
That's why I picked you, because you
literally mean nothing to any living person.

495
00:44:58,783 --> 00:45:00,872
Or any dead one either
as far as I know.

496
00:45:00,959 --> 00:45:05,267
You have no value, no worth
in this world or the next.

497
00:45:05,354 --> 00:45:06,442
Happy?

498
00:45:09,228 --> 00:45:10,316
Damn.

499
00:45:11,230 --> 00:45:12,274
Good.

500
00:45:15,887 --> 00:45:19,238
See, I've been here
trying to make it all add up.

501
00:45:19,325 --> 00:45:20,500
Oh.

502
00:45:20,587 --> 00:45:22,067
Everything since we met.

503
00:45:24,199 --> 00:45:26,636
Oh, really? How's that going for you? That
little hamster in the wheel in your brain

504
00:45:26,724 --> 00:45:28,160
make it out yet?

505
00:45:30,510 --> 00:45:31,772
Well, the...

506
00:45:33,339 --> 00:45:35,907
the only thing
that makes any sense,

507
00:45:35,994 --> 00:45:40,128
the only explanation that fits
all the facts, is that...

508
00:45:42,348 --> 00:45:43,653
I do have value to you.

509
00:45:45,917 --> 00:45:47,266
See, I don't know why.

510
00:45:48,833 --> 00:45:50,748
You don't want me
to know why but...

511
00:45:52,924 --> 00:45:54,229
You need me.

512
00:45:56,405 --> 00:45:57,450
Don't you?

513
00:46:01,628 --> 00:46:05,806
I am handing you the future
on a motherfucking platter.

514
00:46:07,286 --> 00:46:10,202
I'm gonna need you
to cut that edge pronto,

515
00:46:10,289 --> 00:46:12,552
and put some
fucking garnish on it.

516
00:46:13,945 --> 00:46:14,946
Show me.

517
00:46:23,606 --> 00:46:27,045
I never did see a God

518
00:46:27,132 --> 00:46:31,266
more effectively argue
his own obsolescence.

519
00:46:32,659 --> 00:46:35,270
What the fuck are you doing
here?

520
00:46:35,357 --> 00:46:37,055
Well, go on then.

521
00:46:39,187 --> 00:46:40,754
He's waiting.

522
00:46:42,669 --> 00:46:44,149
Show him.

523
00:46:52,331 --> 00:46:53,375
No?

524
00:46:57,597 --> 00:46:59,120
Then allow me.

525
00:47:19,314 --> 00:47:20,663
Hello, friend.

526
00:47:24,493 --> 00:47:26,104
Hello, friend.

527
00:47:31,936 --> 00:47:33,415
I was literally...

528
00:47:34,416 --> 00:47:36,723
your only friend.

529
00:47:40,248 --> 00:47:42,598
You lonely fuck.

530
00:47:49,214 --> 00:47:53,348
I brought you
into the presence of God.

531
00:47:59,224 --> 00:48:01,487
It looks like
he's forgotten about you.

532
00:48:17,938 --> 00:48:19,157
Mistake.

533
00:49:02,243 --> 00:49:03,288
Fuck!

534
00:49:29,096 --> 00:49:32,621
Wanna buy some candy?
Candy?

535
00:49:32,708 --> 00:49:34,536
There isn't a need
to purchase candy.

536
00:49:37,626 --> 00:49:41,065
I retired a God today.

537
00:49:41,152 --> 00:49:42,762
Access granted.

538
00:49:49,029 --> 00:49:51,118
You killed Argus.

539
00:49:52,206 --> 00:49:54,861
And you killed Zorya.

540
00:49:56,167 --> 00:49:58,952
I am sorry about Zorya.

541
00:50:00,649 --> 00:50:04,871
But when you strike with lightning,
you should expect consequences.

542
00:50:04,958 --> 00:50:09,136
Mess with my people,
expect disproportionate consequences.

543
00:50:09,223 --> 00:50:10,746
You got your man back.

544
00:50:10,833 --> 00:50:12,966
It's the principle.

545
00:50:13,053 --> 00:50:14,968
Hello?

546
00:50:15,055 --> 00:50:17,449
Hello?

547
00:50:17,536 --> 00:50:19,886
I'd like to pay.

548
00:50:19,973 --> 00:50:21,366
I'd like to pay.

549
00:50:22,367 --> 00:50:24,760
Have you seen what's
happened to the world?

550
00:50:26,414 --> 00:50:29,417
It isn't 5s, 10s, or 20s anymore.
It isn't cash or gold.

551
00:50:32,290 --> 00:50:36,990
It's zeros and ones,
digitized and encrypted,

552
00:50:37,817 --> 00:50:41,255
sent down fiber-optic cables
at the speed of light

553
00:50:42,256 --> 00:50:46,739
to accounts at banks
with no physical location.

554
00:50:49,394 --> 00:50:51,526
Money loves profit.

555
00:50:58,577 --> 00:51:01,971
And war is always profitable.

556
00:51:02,059 --> 00:51:05,323
It also moves people more
than anything else.

557
00:51:05,410 --> 00:51:09,718
It inflames their passions,
something you would know nothing about.

558
00:51:09,805 --> 00:51:13,244
And the more passionate they get,
the more they spend, spend, spend.

559
00:51:13,331 --> 00:51:14,593
You know that, Money.

560
00:51:16,029 --> 00:51:20,599
You sit at the crossing
of two rivers,

561
00:51:21,426 --> 00:51:25,473
waiting for a steamship
that will never come.

562
00:51:26,779 --> 00:51:30,130
Your kind aren't dying;
they're dead.

563
00:51:30,217 --> 00:51:31,697
Okay, enough.

564
00:51:33,699 --> 00:51:37,311
I'm honored to have the big dogs in
the God game begging at my table.

565
00:51:37,398 --> 00:51:40,097
But money doesn't make
emotional investments

566
00:51:40,184 --> 00:51:42,011
or invest in emotional entities.

567
00:51:42,099 --> 00:51:45,276
Too much risk in such ventures.

568
00:51:45,363 --> 00:51:48,061
Not enough opportunity.

569
00:51:48,148 --> 00:51:50,107
You could always
hedge your bets.

570
00:51:51,108 --> 00:51:53,284
There's no deal here for you
today, gentlemen.

571
00:51:53,371 --> 00:51:55,764
Money stays in the bank.

572
00:51:55,851 --> 00:51:57,853
This is agreeable.

573
00:51:57,940 --> 00:52:00,204
What a sad waste of capital.

574
00:52:09,169 --> 00:52:12,346
I'm gonna win this one.
People like me more than they like you.

575
00:52:12,433 --> 00:52:14,740
I prefer to be feared.

576
00:52:21,660 --> 00:52:23,401
I'm not your enemy.
