ROBIN: Previously, on All Rise.

Gabriel Salas,
this is Sara Castillo.

She's our victim's advocate.

- Gabriel, pleasure.
- Sara, mucho gusto.

The truth is,
I have never had

a burning desire
to be a mom.

So, you and Robin are good?

Things are still
a little tender,

but we're both trying.

If there are any more
stupid kisses,

we're done.

[Adeline's "Stages" plays]

♪

I thought
you were going to the gym.

Well, if I told you
I was gonna make breakfast,

that would
ruin the surprise.

But I was gonna
make you breakfast

to thank you
for my amazing birthday.

Baby.

You already thanked me
several times.

[laughs]

So,
what's the special occasion?

Can't a husband make his wife
breakfast just because?

A veggie omelet,
spicy sausage,

and is that pecan-crusted
French toast I smell?

- You know it is.
- All my favorites on a Monday?

I was born tonight,
but not last night.

Robin Taylor,
come on, out with it.

Why are you
buttering me up?

Okay.

I've been summoned to DC.

They want me there Thursday.

Before you get upset,
it's just a meeting

with my director
to talk about my future.

I've been putting it off
for months, baby, so I gotta go.

Hey,
why you look so worried?

Because what if
they want you back?

We talked about this.

I am not moving
back to DC.

Okay?
I love the place we're in.

The place we worked
really hard to get back to.

You think
I'mma give all of that up?

The bureau's just gonna have to
either transfer me to LA

or...
my G man days are over.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Let me get your toast.

With your fine self.

MARK: Baby, who from your family
is coming to the wedding?

Uh, I don't know.

- I haven't heard back yet.
- Wedding's 10 weeks away.

Kinda need
to figure that out, right?

You excited
about your seminar?

Yeah, I think
the DNA debate should be fun,

but honestly, I'm just excited
to hang out with Luke.

It'll be a chance
for us to bond, you know,

just a couple of dudes
out on the open road.

Thelma and Louise style.

Hurdling toward
their impending death.

- Amy!
- What?

I'm sorry, it's just--

This class action case, is--

Yeah,
the group of teachers protesting

a lower court's decision,
which allowed a mandate

by Christian College to ban any
and all talk of race issues?

See,
I listen when you talk.

- Ha, very funny.
- Why are you nervous?

It's my first time
in the court of appeal.

You're gonna do great, baby.

You got Benner,
how bad could it be?

All right,
I'll see you later.

- Love you!
- Love you.

[sighs]

[car engine rumbling]

Good luck with your case.

Thanks, babe.
Have fun at the seminar.

- Hey, Em?
- Yeah?

We ever gonna
talk about it?

I mean,
I'm not pregnant, Luke.

So, what's there
to talk about?

- Right?
- Right.

Okay.

Bye.

[sighs]

Jim, I need you to understand

what you're up against here.

You are being charged
with multiple felonies,

including child endangerment.

You're facing
nine years in prison.

It's not too late
to ask for a plea deal.

I told you
it was an accident.

Timothy's in a coma.

I didn't mean
to hurt him, I mean--

I just wanted him to stop

- bullying my daughter.
- I know that.

But in the eyes of the law,
it doesn't matter.

You pushed him on purpose,

you don't have to intend
to hurt him.

Do you know

what it's like
to watch your child suffer?

To have her
come home in tears,

day after day?

My wife and I,
we tried everything.

We talked to the principal,
the school board,

and nothing was done.

[sobbing]

Sorry.

It's okay.

She tried
to take her own life

because of this asshole kid.

I'm so sorry.

I can't even imagine

how horrible that must have been
for you and your wife.

How is she?

How's Katie doing?

She's seeing
a school therapist,

but she's so worried

the other kids will find out
and make fun of her.

She-- she refuses to talk.

I understand the therapist
doesn't want Katie to testify.

Jim,
without Katie's testimony,

we can't prove that this
was a form of self-defense.

It was me,
I can tell what happened.

That is not a good idea.

Jim, you understandably

get upset when recalling
what happened, okay?

And I cannot have
that jury thinking

that you are just
some angry guy.

I need them to see you.

To see you

as a loving father

who was just
protecting his daughter.

But I have to be honest,

the footage
the prosecution has,

that is gonna be
really tough to get around.

Ms. Quinn, how does
the college's policy violate

California
anti-discrimination law?

By denying a race
that isn't white

the right to be
part of America's history,

its true history,
is inherently unequal.

The college argues
that their goal is,

and always has been, quote:

"To teach moral and spiritual
lessons based on the Bible."

Does this not fall within

the statutory religious
belief exceptions?

It does not.

Whiteness, as it pertains

to Christianity,

is an American
conservative perspective

that is neither Christian,

nor historically accurate.

The only difference
between last semester and now,

is that the politics
in this country changed.

And certain
conservative sectors

consider anything
not white-focused

to be anti-American.

Neither of these justifications

are deeply held
religious beliefs.

Rather,
they are designed to discount

the numerous contributions

of underrepresented
men and women,

throughout history,

who've made us
who we are today.

Thank you, Ms. Quinn.

We will take this
under advisement.

[sighs]
Thank you, Your Honor.

Judge Lola Carmichael,

making a difference
one case at a time!

- What?
- [joyful shriek]

Oh, my Go--

They said it was
just gonna be an article.

- One page, at best.
- [joyful shriek]

I guess they figured out

what we already know.

Thank you, Sherri.

Wow.

You still worried
about Robin?

- Or--
- Yeah.

There is what Robin says,

and then there's
what the bureau wants.

I mean, it took years

and a whole baby
to get that man home.

Robin loves you and Bailey.

Yes, but he also loves
working for the FBI

and living in DC.

You have a marriage

few people
get to experience.

Hm, we've experienced

our fair share
of bumps lately.

Specifically Dre.

Have you spoken
to him yet?

Nope.

- Your Honor?
- I know.

- Your Honor!
- I will.

It's just--

Those are two discussions

I'm not looking forward to.

- Who's the other one?
- Rachel.

[tense music]

BAILIFF: People's Exhibit One,
Your Honor.

- KATIE: Dad!
- JIM: Hey!

- [thudding]
- [crowd gasping]

[courtroom gasps and whispers]

JIM: Oh, my God.

Ms. Ahoka,
you're their teacher.

Were you present

for any of the conduct
depicted in the video

marked People's One?

Only at the end,

when Timothy
was lying on the ground.

And did you witness
an interaction

between Timothy
and the defendant

earlier in the day?

Yes, the school bell
had rung for first period

and I went outside to make sure
all the students were in.

And that's when I saw Mr. Evans
speaking with Timothy.

And what did you hear
the defendant say?

He's a really nice man.

- A good dad--
- Ms. Ahoka.

Please,
just answer the question.

What did you hear
the defendant say?

[intriguing music]

That if Timothy
so much as looks

at his daughter again,

he'd pay for it.

[sobbing]

HUSBAND: Sweetheart.

Sweetheart.

♪ There's something
'bout this city ♪

Yeah, well,
forensic science has its flaws.

Yes, but it's better
than nothing.

You're not concerned about
the police's DNA database?

I'm more focused
on the individuals

that can have
their convictions overturned--

Well, hold that thought,
'cause, um--

See, this is weird.

I think
I missed my turn.

You think?

I told you

Well, it's better

Not if we're driving

We wouldn't be driving

that stupid debate with you.

You got in my head.
You distracted me.

I got nothing.

Yeah.

- Me neither.
- Look, it's all good, man.

We'll just--
we'll backtrack.

We've been driving
for almost two hours.

If we backtrack,
we'll miss the seminar.

Hold on,

Damn,
where'd you get that, 1992?

- Internet, six bucks.
- Okay.

[paper rustling]

Nicely done, good start.

Now we just have to figure out
where the hell we are.

Ms. Ahoka, how scared
could Timothy have been

if just hours later,
he was threatening

the defendant's daughter,
yet again?

- Objection. Argumentative.
- Sustained.

Ms. Ahoka,
were you aware

Katie Evans
was being bullied?

Yes, Principal Vicario
notified the staff,

but I never personally saw

Timothy bully Katie.

You are aware that Timothy
has had behavioral issues

- in the past?
- Yes.

Mm-hmm. Ms. Ahoka, isn't it true

that you have
had to send Timothy

to the principal's office
for discipline

multiple times this year?

Too many times to remember.

[tense music]

So, Social Services has agreed
to pay for childcare

- while you're at work.
- Mm.

Yeah. Oh. And there's
a single parent support group

that I think will just be really
great for you, Gabriel.

Yeah, okay.
I really appreciate everything

that you have done for me
these past few weeks.

You have been amazing.

Oh, no,
just doing my job.

No,
it-- it meant a lot to me

to have you in my corner.

Oh, I-- I'm glad
I could be here.

Please feel free
to call me...

for anything.

You know, there--
there is something, actually.

Would you like to have
dinner with me tonight?

- Dinner?
- [Gabriel laughs]

It's my way
of thanking you.

Oh.

- Sure.
- Yeah.

Okay.

Timothy has suffered
a traumatic brain injury.

Can you explain
what that means?

He's gone into a coma,

which generally indicates

widespread damage
or bruising

across the entire cerebrum.

And if Timothy ever

even regains consciousness,

will he suffer
any side effects?

Yes, it's possible.

There are a multitude

of long-term effects.

Ranging from headaches

to seizures,
even memory loss.

Timothy will most likely
need medical assistance

- for the rest of his life.
- Nothing further, Your Honor.

Ms. Lopez.

Dr. Dunn.

You said...

"possible,"
and "most likely."

The truth is the brain
being so fragile,

there really is
no way of knowing

how Timothy will be
when he recovers.

Yes, that's true.

So, Timothy
could be totally fine.

- Yes, but--
- Thank you.

- Nothing further.
- Uh, redirect, Your Honor.

Yes, but what, Doctor?

It's possible
Timothy could be fine.

But in my experience,
it's not likely.

And in your experience,
as a doctor,

is there a chance
that Timothy

may never
come out of the coma?

Sadly... yes.

[suspenseful music]

I just can't imagine
having a child in a coma.

Yeah, well,
my client never intended

for Timothy
to get hurt.

Well, I know,
and believe me,

I feel
for your client's daughter.

But, I mean,
he did push a child, I just--

I don't know how
you're gonna win this one, Em.

What is your opinion
of the parents?

Well, from what I can gather
Mr. Proctor is not home much.

- [keyboard clacking]
- [giggles]

- What?
- Look who's glowing now.

- Oh, my God. I am not.
- 100%. yes, you are.

- No. Shut up. No.
- Spill it. Okay.

- Sto-- I--
- [gasps]

Okay.
Right, right, right.

Look, I know-- I know
you told me to be careful,

but I am
going to dinner

tonight with Gabriel.

Just as a thank-you.

I know you're gonna say

that I could lose my job.

I was not gonna say that.

- I was not.
- Oh, okay.

I just want to be sure

that your
feelings of empathy

are not being confused
for something more.

I appreciate
your concern, Em, but...

I know my heart.

I really like him.

And I'm just
curious to know

if he feels the same or,

you know, if this really is
just a thank-you meal.

- I hear you.
- Okay.

So, what are you gonna wear?

- Oh!
- What are you gonna wear?

- I dunno! Okay, okay.
- Okay, let's talk about it.

I've been dealing
with conservative judges

for 20 years.

I've heard and handled

a lot of bullshit, but this--

For these two judges
to hide behind religion,

on such
an important case, I'm just--

[scoffs]
I'm livid.

So, what are you gonna do?

Well, I mean,
why do you think I'm here?

I need your candor
and your insight.

Plenty of advice on Google.

Did I say
something wrong?

No.

No, I just--

Tired of talking about it.

Frankly, all Black people

are tired
of talking about it.

Because no matter
what is said or done,

very little changes.

- [tea pouring]
- Well, some things have changed.

Kamala Harris is VP,

Ketanji Brown Jackson is
the new Supreme Court justice.

Witnessing George Floyd's
death

unleashed
an unprecedented expression

of outrage from white Americans.

Do you even see
what you just did there, Lisa?

You asked me for my opinion,
and then when I gave it to you,

you just dismissed me.

I was just...

responding to what you said.

But you weren't
really hearing me, Lisa.

Allies don't wanna listen.

They want to tell us
everything that's going right.

Yeah, sure.
All of those things are true.

George Floyd is dead.

And yes,
his death unleashed outrage.

But you know
what else it did?

It made a whole lot of
white Americans uncomfortable.

Why do you think
we are even debating

whether or not
to teach Black history,

which is American history,
in our schools?

A lot of white people

don't want
to confront the truth.

They would
rather just ignore it.

White people
don't deal well with guilt.

You think guilt is heavy?

Think about everything
that we carry, Lisa.

And all we ask
is for people to just

see it from our side.

To acknowledge the problems.

Oh, I hear you.
I really hear you.

And I admit

that I haven't always
truly comprehended

what Black people
are going through.

Lisa, you're a judge.

You have the power,

every day,
to be a deliberate advocate.

To dismantle these systems

and make change
from the bench.

So, again...

I ask you,

what are you
going to do, Lisa Benner?

Mr. Vicario,
as the principal,

were you aware
Katie Evans was being bullied?

- Yes. Katie had reported it.
- And what was done?

Timothy was made
to apologize to Katie.

He assured us
it would never happen again.

And that's it?

No suspension,

no other punishment?

- Argumentative.
- Sustained.

Were any
other measures taken

to discipline Timothy?

No, Katie didn't report

any more incidents,

so I assumed
things were fine.

Were you aware Katie tried

to take her own life?

Objection. Relevance?

Sustained.

Nothing further,
Your Honor.

The court
needs a short recess.

Mr. Faez, your witness
when we come back in 30.

How bad are they?

What the hell?

I've already been in touch
with all the media outlets

and I told them
to take the pictures down.

Great,
ideas on who's behind this?

- My guess, Corinne Cuthbert.
- Her? But why now?

Your cover on Legal Motion
made quite a splash.

Corinne posted
a lot of harsh comments

on Twitter
and several other sites.

"It appears Judge Carmichael has

one set of rules
for the public

- and another set for herself."
- Oh, crap.

No! That's not her style.
She likes to beat

- you fair and square.
- How do we know this's

anything to do with Judge
Carmichael? It very well

- could be about Mr. Armstrong.
- Sherri has a point.

Either way, it's a hit

Right now, the only thing I'm
concerned about is my husband.

- Home!

- No, no. You are due

Fine, I will postpone court
until tomorrow morning.

And then
go find my husband.

I'm scared my dad's gonna
go to prison because of me.

Oh, Katie...

This is not your fault, okay?

And I am gonna do
everything in my power

to make sure
that doesn't happen.

I wanna testify.

I spoke with my mom,
she agrees.

It's the only way to prove
my dad was protecting me.

You've been
through a lot, Katie,

- and-- and your therapist--
- I don't care what she thinks.

He's my dad.

Please, I need to help.

I called the college,
at least they were able

to push the debate
back 'til 7:00.

Doesn't quite sound
like the day of bonding

you were hoping for.

Yeah. Not even close.

How'd the teacher's
case go, Amy?

It's just so hard to tell.

The problem
with the Court of Appeal is

there's nothing else
I can do or say.

It's-- it's up to
the three judges now to decide.

Well, the good thing is
you only need two to agree.

I think it's great, Amy, you
taking this case on pro bono.

This weight
is killing me.

Baby, there's nothing
you can do, okay?

You just
gotta let it go.

I can't, Mark.

It's too important.

This decision
will affect a lot of kids.

Someday,

maybe even our own.

I love you.

And I love you.

You guys,
uh, talking about kids?

Yeah, I mean,
not now, but maybe soon.

Emily and I

Yeah?

She's not.

I thought I was gonna be a dad.

And how'd you feel?

Surprisingly...

excited.

Okay, Papa Watkins.

- Okay.

Look out.

I told you
I didn't want Katie to testify.

Katie came to me.
She wants to help.

I demand you
to put me on the stand.

Look, you've given me
all the reasons

why I shouldn't, but Katie is
the one reason why I should.

You know what? That's--

Okay, let's try.

Please have a seat.

Mr. Evans,

isn't it true
you threatened

a 13-year-old boy,

a boy who is
half your size?

Yes, but, you know,
I just wanted to scare him

so he'd stay away
from my daughter.

But he didn't, did he?

So, you decided

to take matters into
your own hands and hurt him?

What, no!
I-- I didn't mean to hurt him.

- It was an accident.
- Did you push him?

- Yes, but I didn't--
- Then how is that an accident?

[bangs table]

Dammit.

Jim, I wish
there was another way.

I wish there was another way,
but there isn't.

Katie has to testify.

There you are.

Judge Maples.

Judge Benner.

With all due respect,

you need
to accept my decision.

- I have something for you.
- The Warmth of Other Suns.

It's an excellent book
about the Great Migration.

And I know
how much you love history.

I think
you might enjoy it.

I know
what you're up to, Lisa.

[scoffs]

Ken, it's just a book.

That I think
everyone should be able to read.

- I look forward to discussing.
- [chuckles softly]

There you go. Enjoy.

They are photoshopped.

All but this one.

You wanna tell me
why you were there meeting him?

I wasn't there meeting him.

It was a chance meeting.

I was at Luna Ray with Mark.

And the kiss?

It was an innocent goodbye peck.

Baby, if you don't believe me,

then just call Mark and ask him.

I believe you, Lo.

It just

we're past the issue,

David Sanders, huh?

He may have some connections

So, you're okay with
David Sanders all of a sudden?

No, but he does know

More importantly,
I spoke with a couple

And a buddy of mine

Once.

Timothy blamed me

Katie, let's talk about
the day of the incident, okay?

What happened?

I had band practice...

and when I came out,
Timothy was waiting.

He called
my dad a loser.

Said he knew
where I got it from.

So, I tried to walk away,
but he grabbed my arm.

[breathing shakily]

Said that I should, um...

that I should kill myself.

And that's
when my dad came,

and he yelled at Timothy
to get away from me, but...

Timothy just laughed.

So, my dad
pushed him away, and...

He was just
trying to protect me.

EMILY: Okay, honey.

I have tried from day one

to get my client

He refuses.

He's hoping that the publicity

force the school
to make changes.

resolving this case.

[laughs]

This is
the worst road trip ever.

Agreed.

I was really
looking forward to this.

Me too.

Yeah,
but for different reasons.

You were looking forward
to kicking my ass at the debate.

I was actually
looking forward to spending

some quality time with you.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Man, I didn't care
about the debate,

I just wanted
to hang out with you.

- For real?
- Only reason why I'm here.

- Oh, okay. My God.
- [laughs]

Well, we should get--
we gotta make a plan

to do this more often,
all right?

Like a pact, all right?
Once a month.

- Whoa! That will never happen.
- It could.

You're getting married
in 10 weeks.

That's crazy.

Other people make it work.

We can, too.

I'mma hold you to that.

Pow.

With Robin's help,
we uncovered that--

[muffled laugh]

That it was Martin Moore.

You tried his son last year?
Alexander Moore.

He tried to blame his friend
for a murder he committed.

- Martin Moore is his father.
- Right. I remember.

That was Rachel
and Amy's client.

I read that he got his son
out of prison six months ago.

Why would he still
care about going after Lola?

Revenge, Moore blames
everyone involved in the case.

He's told several associates
that he's out to ruin you all.

You need to watch your back.

Her Honor's back
is always watched.

I am not afraid of Martin Moore.

I guess... thanks are in order.
But let me be clear.

This does not change
anything between us.

What you put
Sherri and I through...

- we can never forgive.
- I understand.

And for what it's worth,
I know I made a huge mistake,

and I'm truly sorry.

But I'm determined
to prove myself to you again.

You're the real deal,
Judge Carmichael.

You're destined
for great things.

And there's no doubt
in my mind...

I'm the one
who can get you there.

[upbeat music]

Oh, my God,
the gall of that man.

[Lisa laughs]

I think she likes him.

[laughs]

Uh, so, um...

I thought
a lot about what you said.

These past few years,
I thought my eyes were open.

I thought that I was
helping the greater good.

Reading the books,
attending protests.

I even
put up a BLM sign.

I remember.

Yeah.

It wasn't enough.

To be a true ally
and advocate

is a lifelong commitment.

Having
uncomfortable conversations

not just
with my colleagues,

but with my family
and friends.

And even the neighbor
who complains about my sign.

So you checked Google?

[laughs] Yes, yes.

My favorite was a YouTube series
with Emmanuel Acho,

"Uncomfortable Conversations
with a Black Man".

He said something
that really stuck with me.

"Everything great
is birthed through discomfort."

I hope you know
how much your friendship

means to me, Carmichael.

Back at you,
Lisa Benner.

- [door grinding]
- [footsteps]

Emily?

I'll agree
to strike the GBI allegation.

He can plead
to the felony child endangerment

for the minimum conditions.

It's no jail time,

four years probation
and parenting classes.

Thank you, Rory.
That's a fair deal.

You're not the only one
who was troubled over this case.

I have three kids.

I'll take it to my client.

- Good luck.
- Thanks.

- Jim.
- Hey.

- Hey. Listen.
- [Jim clears his throat]

The DA has just
given us a good offer.

I really think
you should consider taking it.

MAN: Hang in there, Jim.

There are parents here
to show their support.

I have been trying
for two years

to get someone
to pay attention.

I cannot give up now.

Jim, please, I'm--

- Just think of Katie.
- I am thinking of her.

Something has to change.
The bullying has to stop.

And if going to prison for
trying to protect my daughter

is the only way
to make a difference then...

so be it.

Jim...

[upbeat music]

Before I call
the jury back in,

the court was informed
the People made an offer.

- We have, Your Honor.
- Your Honor...

I ask for time for my client
to consider the offer.

Very well,
you have until tomorrow.

Ms. Lopez,
may I speak with your client?

Of course, Your Honor.

Mr. Evans, I would like
to speak to you not as a judge,

but as a fellow parent.

I understand
the need to do something.

To... help change the system
when we see a wrong.

But what you did...

taking matters into your own
hands, has repercussions.

You put a child
into the hospital.

And if you are found guilty,
you could spend up to

nine years in prison.
That is a long time

to be away
from your daughter.

A daughter
who needs you right now.

Please, Mr. Evans.

Take this time

to really
consider your decision.

I will.
Thank you, Your Honor.

The court is adjourned
until 9 a.m.

[gavel clacking]

- Hey.
- Hi.

Listen,
I have some good news.

Timothy's parents weren't in
the courtroom earlier because...

...he woke up.

It was only for a few moments,
but he-- he--

he woke up!
He's making progress.

Oh, thank God.

That's amazing news.

I wanted to run
something else past you.

I found
an amazing therapist.

She's agreed
to work with Katie.

She has
no connection to the school,

so Katie
won't have to worry

about the other kids
finding out.

Thank you, Ms. Lopez.

I appreciate
everything you've done.

You're welcome.

But there is one last thing
we need to discuss.

Prosecution's offer.

[sighs]

Your Honor.

Ms. Lopez and Mr. Faez
are here to see you.

Oh, send them in.

Thanks, Ms. Kansky.

My client, Your Honor,
has decided to accept the offer.

Very well.
I have considered the offer

and am willing
to go along with it.

We will take the plea in
the morning and excuse the jury.

Thank you, Mr. Faez.

It's a pleasure,
Your Honor.

- Thank you.
- Great.

And Your Honor,
I wanted to thank you

for your
parent-to-parent speech.

I know that's...
absolutely

why my client
changed his mind.

You're welcome.

What is it?

Just...

as a parent, how--

How do you watch
something like this case

and not let it
just totally...

utterly consume you?

Life is full of fear.

And hope.

And I choose
to hold on to the hope.

Come on.

[elevator dings]

Em.

- You made it back.
- I did.

Muah

Hey, is it okay if we just
grab takeout and go home?

I really need to shower.

- Perfect.
- Pizza?

I was thinking Mexican.

- Ooh, El--
- Padían.

Yes, absolutely.

Hey, uh...

Were you serious
about not wanting kids?

Honestly, babe...

this case was brutal!
It was...

And everything that's going on
in the world right now?

There are so many reasons
not to have kids.

I really...
Want to be a dad.

And I see kids
in my future.

And I know the world
is a messed up place,

but isn't that even more
reason to have them?

How is that
a reason to have them?

Because they are the future.

And there's a chance
that they might be the ones

that get it right.

I wish that I could...
say to you all the things

that you want to hear,
that you need to hear.

I wish that I could tell you
with certainty that one day,

yes, I want to have kids,
but I'm just...

I'm not there.

[crickets]

I feel like
I've been gone for a week.

- Ugh!
- Oh!

You clearly
smell like you have--

Callan! Ugh!

- Are you serious?
- You stink! Yes.

I was afraid
to shower at the hotel.

Everything had
mold growing on it.

You could have
at least changed your clothes.

What don't you understand about
mold growing on everything?

[phone vibrating]

The a court of appeals
made a decision.

Oh, my God.
I'm too nervous. I can't look.

- Okay--
- No.

[snorts]

"America is a melting pot
for a reason.

Black history, Latino history,

Native American history...

- are all part..."
- ...of America's history.

Denying education
based on any race...

can instill
a sense of inferiority

that can have
huge detrimental effects

on the education
and personal growth of children.

We find this mandate
to be a clear attempt

to subdue
the accomplishments

and perspectives
of black people

- and other groups...
- ...Who have long-faced

rejection and marginalization
in our schools.

You won.

We won.

Hey,
thought I was gonna miss you.

My flight's in an hour.

Moses is in the back
taking care of Bailey.

- Uh, we need to talk.
- About Martin Moore?

I know. It was my contact
that figured it out.

Thank you for helping,
but no,

I'm referring
to those pictures.

Clearly, they brought up
some bad feelings,

and I think we
should talk about 'em

before you get on a plane
and leave for a week.

Look, Lo, I love you.
You know that.

And there's nothing I wouldn't
do for this family.

But I will not
compete with a memory.

Don't try to deny it,
you still have

unresolved feelings
for that man.

No, had.

I had feelings for him,
and they are in the past.

And see, it's that look,

which is exactly why
we need to talk about it.

Look. No time.

- Gotta catch my flight.
- Robin.

[phone chimes]

- Damn.
- What?

Three hour flight delay
just ruined my dramatic exit.

Looks like
someone upstairs

knows that
we need to talk.

- Looks that way.
- Uh-huh.

Look at them lips.
