Get out of the way!

Between my business, my mortgage, kids' tuition,

I'm drowning.

What do you want from me, Colin?

I'm supposed to pick up a package from my boss.

I'm retired from the life.

We can't afford to live here anymore.

We're not moving.

- What's your story, Gray? - You know that already.

My condolences for your loss.

My job is to get you from point A to point B.

Come on. Let's go.

There it is.

Why did the police show?

I'll take care of it.

Gracián: Get out of the way. Move. Move!

Man: Sir, you've got to stay behind the tape.

No, no, no. I got to get through, damn it!

I got to get through here!

No, no. I got to get... You don't understand.

L-Let him through.

Colin: Freaking me out, Gray.

Say something. Anything.

Gray...

Gray, we're gonna figure this out.

Gracián: We miss one thing, one shred of evidence,

and I'll never see my family again.

Colin: Well, we ain't gonna let that happen.

Do you know what music this is?

Afrobeats, right?

No. Chimurenga... "revolutionary struggle."

What were you thinking, Zenzo?

Exposing me like that?

Zenzo: Exposing you?

I was protecting you, brother, like I always do.

That back there was not about me.

What was the plan, Zenzo?

Plan?

Uh...

She asked you a very simple question, Zenzo.

What was the plan?

Take the lawyer.

Work him over.

Get intel.

Intel was the plan.

Yeah. Yeah.

America has made you all soft.

This?

This isn't how I used to run things for Bababack home.

Which is exactly why you're not in this seat.

Zenzo, you work for me now.

Do I?

You're either with me,

or against me.

You either grow with me...

Or fall out with me.

Cheap imitation.

Zelda: Hello?

Is someone there?

Oh!

Geez, Gray. You nearly gave me a heart attack.

That makes two of us.

I thought we were getting robbed or something.

Yeah. Only by the banks and insurance companies.

I've been up here all night working on the books.

And what, cleaning?

How's your mother, Z?

Uh... she's on some new medication

that Medicaid doesn't cover.

So same old.Ah.

I'll see if I can squeeze out a couple of extra shifts,

help you out with that.

Thanks, Gray. God bless you.

Oh, it's my pleasure.

What was that? Oh, that's just a fan

hitting the carriage in the back.

Is somebody here?

Nah, just me.

Um...

Well...

I'm going to go put on my face.

And, uh

maybe you ought to get some rest.

Yeah. We open up in an hour or two.

Boys will be in. Would you catch them for me?

♪ Early every mornin' ♪

♪ Just about the break of day

You can get up now.

Where to?

Lake Maisson.

There's a tributary off of 10.

Yeah, I know that spot.

I used to go skinny-dipping there with Suzanne Ndara

back in the day.

What, Miss Thickness from Gulfport?

Aw, no, no, man. That was Tara.

That was Tara.

This lawyer.

He got anybody gonna come looking for him?

What you want? A client list, man?

I didn't know him like that.

Just that he could get us into the safe.

I mean, at least he said he could anyway.

Except he couldn't.

Horse.

Tongais.

Who are these people?

What'd you just get me into, Col?

They're human traffickers, man.

Yeah?

Okay, Townes.

Look. Hey.

Is there any way I could do it this afternoon?

Please? Plea...

Okay. Alright. You know, I get it.

Yeah. Thank you.

Thank...

What was that?

We're gonna need to take a little detour, man.

No detours.

It's over 80 degrees already. It's 92 in the trunk.

T-That was my parole officer, alright?

He's waiting at my boat. I forgot it was today!

Look. It's a wrinkle, Gray. That's all, alright?

I'll go meet the guy, tell him about all my job applications,

piss in a cup... that's it, done.

You want me to drop you at a meet with your PO

while we got a dead body in the trunk?

You make me walk, it'll just take longer.

God damn it, Colin.

Gray: Stopping right here.

Colin: Oh, shit, man. They done brought Scooby Doo.

This could be a while.

Well, what's "a while." How long is that?

Last time they brought the dog, in was three hours.

Oh, come on, now.

I'll call you when I'm done. Alright?

Now, l-look, look, look, look.

Just get out and pay me like you're hailing a cab.

Pay you? Man, these ain't even my pants. What the...

Just fake it. Alright?

Go, and say "thank you" real big.

Do it. Alright. Yeah.

Oh, hey. Hey, hey, hey. Hold this will you?

No. No, come on, Colin. Come on, man.

Oh! Hey, thank you! Here's the money.

Thank you, sir.

You're welcome.

Thank you!

W-What are you doing home?

Ask her. Mak!

Come here, please. What's going on?

She got kicked out of first period for fighting.

What? Ask her. Ask her daughter.

Tell him.

It wasn't even my fault.

She hit me first.

She insulted me and said I was one of

these entitled uptown girls who wouldn't clap back.

I'm so over it.

Yeah, I'm over you. You know about fighting.

What are you doing? I'm cleaning out the freezer. It needed to be done.

Got time for breakfast?

And we need to talk.

Are you feeling okay? Yeah. Yeah, I'm alright.

Just a long shift last night.

So, Gracián, listen. We have a...

We have a viewing today.

I didn't know you were doing an all-nighter.

What time?

At 4:00.

We... We have to make these decisions together.

Do you want me to reschedule?

No.

What's going on in here?

We're just talking.

Huh.

Two family meals in one week? Something's up.

You're lucky you're getting anything, young lady.

Would you get that? Yeah.

I'm sorry. I'm... I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to be short with you.

I'm just... I'm just not ready.

I'm not ready. I know. I know.

I know. Dad, it's for you!

Mr. Parish?

NOPD.

Detective Doucet, and this is Detective Fuentes.

I remember you.

Can we ask you a few questions?

How can I help you?

Well, we're actually trying to track down

a man named Colin Broussard.

You know him?

Yeah. He's an old friend. I ain't seen him in a while.

What happened? We're looking into

a robbery that happened yesterday at a law firm.

One of their lawyers went missing, too.

Okay. So, what does that have to do with us?

Has he been in touch with you since his release from prison?

Who's Colin?

I haven't seen or

spoken to Col in 17 years.

And where were you by chance yesterday between noon and 4:00?

On the road, I think, driving a client up to Lafayette.

You drive a black car, right?

Yes, I do.

Fuentes: A neighbor saw a man fitting your description

in Metairie around the same time yesterday.

What do you mean by his description?

Mak, honey. It's alright.

Oh. Oh, you mean a Black man, right?

Miss, we're just trying to get our bearings.

We haven't accused your fath... Yeah. Well, that's not what I heard.

Me either.

Now, I wasn't in Metairie yesterday,

and you're not looking for Colin either.

Are you?

So unless there's anything else...

Okay. We noticed the "for sale" sign up.

You mind if I take a look around?

It's a new listing. You'll have to call the agent.

We're not ready to show it yet.

Fuentes: In the meantime, if you hear

anything of Colin, please...

Yeah. I don't give a damn about permits.

We're supposed to be opening in two months.

You know what, Lar?

Stop talking and just get it done.

Miriam, why you playing my piano?

Hey, Miriam!

What's going on here? What the hell...

Perry Lousteau... a man of generational means

whose entire existence

has been propped up by the servant class.

You know, the nannies, cooks, assistants.

And let's not forget delivery drivers.

Hmm, I wonder what became of him

when his life and fortune came to a grinding halt

as all those people suddenly walked off the job.

Miriam, get in here.

Uh, your housekeeper... I relieved her.

She no longer works here.

You know, I'm calling the cops.

Shamiso: Go ahead. Call the cops.

And say what, exactly?

"There's two Africans in my house with a business proposal"?

Oh, Shamiso, I don't think he heard anything

after the word "Africans." Ah.

Your people can get right back to work as soon as we all agree.

So this is what's gonna happen.

We will begin a symbiotic relationship,

one which cuts out the middleman,

thus halving your current expenses.

And now we bring the labor directly to you.

There's a way we do business down here.

Code of conduct.

Gentlemen's agreement, if you will.

Whoever owns the passports owns the workers.

So it was you.

Stole back the passports you sold to Anton.

We're expanding.

The man you're crossing won't take kindly

to being cut out of the equation.

You have your way of doing things.

And where we're from, we have ours.

It's either you adapt...

Or die.

How come you parked the car in here?

Ah. I had to detail it myself.

Couldn't do it at the shop. I got this.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Everything's falling apart.

So

Ha she been back in touch?

Colin.

Come on.

I held some of Col's money for him when he went away.

Gave it back to him when he got out of prison about a year ago.

That's it.

See? That wasn't so hard, was it?

Hmm?

You got that exact same look on your face

that Maddy used to get when he'd get busted

for playing hooky to go and ride bumper cars.

Look, I know a new family moving in here doesn't feel right.

Someone else in Maddy's room.

But I can't bear walking past his door every day.

I think I hear him.

It's killing me.

You have to know that.

I just want our boy to rest.

I know.

I know, baby.

Okay.

Okay what?

I'll look at the place you saw for sale.

I'll call the Realtor. Thank you.

I need to get something out of the freezer.

What the hell is this doing on my freezer?

The bracket snapped. I got to replace it.

Come on.

It's 100 pounds of dead weight.

Think you can move that?

Alright. You do it.

I'll get it.

I got to move the car anyway.

Colin, you ready?

Coming at you.

Gracián: So, what's your plan?

What you mean? After this?

The Horse.

Seems like an unlikely choice for you to link arms with.

I helped his guys when I was inside.

Aren't there less stressful ways to earn money?

What? For folks like me? Nah.

It's all I know.

Once I hit my number, though, I am out.

Open water, sunsets,

fuzz at my back, next port up ahead,

and Sarah.

I'm, uh... Shit, man.

I know this is the worst possible time to bring this up,

but if I don't say something, my heart is gonna explode.

What happened to Maddox...

Look, man. I wanted to be there for you.

You know?

Oh, you knew?

Yeah. Yeah, I knew.

Look. I was gonna come to the funeral, but...

But look. Maybe I didn't know what to say.

You know?

I still don't.

♪ The truth is what I wanna know ♪

♪ Where do we come from?

♪ Where do we go?

Damn shame they never reopened this place.

I guarantee you we ain't the first ones

to dump a body here.

Come on! You got room! You got plenty of room!

Phew!

♪ I wanna know, where do we go? ♪

Oh, shit.

Come on, man! Push!

Hey! Turn it left and punch it again.

Hey! Myleft!

We got the same left, Colin!

Well, turn it the other way!

God damn.

No, man! No, it's not working!

Damn it!

You know what?

Man, you... you never think.

You never think ahead of nothing.

This ain't my drop! Oh, oh...

You're the one who brought us out here!

T-This ain't your drop. Yeah, that's right.

Well, we ain't gonna discuss it,

'cause there's nothing to discuss,

'cause you never think ahead of time.

You always think... Never think beyond the moment!

Do you?

Oh, this about Cleveland now! Now I get it!

You're goddamn right... That was not my fault, Gray!

Not my fault!

Cleveland was your mark.

Right? And he was on to us.

And I knew we should've bailed from the top.

But no, no, no, no.

I had a bad feeling about the whole thing!

And I knew it.

No, but you? You're gonna jump right in!

I jump in?! You jumped in, too!

'Cause Rose was pregnant!

No, don't you bring her into this. Yeah!

What, am I lying?! Am I lying?!

No, you're deflecting.

You didn't do your homework.

You didn't do it then, and you didn't do it now.

Seriously, Colin.

How many lives have sunk to the bottom of a shitty lake

because of you? Oh, right, right, right.

Says the man who's drowning in his own debt.

Where you going?

Don't leave me out here!

Young Maddox: Dad, can we go one time?

Please?

That's it. That's it. That's it.

Thank you, Mama Mary.

Gray?

Roll that spool back there.

Roll that spool back.

Make it taut, now. Got it?

Come on!

Come on.

Yes! Gracián: Yeah, baby!

Yes! Yeah, baby!

Whoo! Whoo, baby!

Yeah!

Makayla: Mom?

The real estate agent is here.

I'll be right down!

He's here with the Atlanta people!

I said I'll be right there, Mak!

Is Dad on his way?

Could you just wait for me downstairs, please?

Zenzo: This is your forward assist, the butt stock,

your rear sight, your pistol grip.

And this is where you clip your magazine, yes?

Yeah.

Don't be afraid. It's not loaded.

Mm. Baba doesn't like it when I play with guns.

Sit.

He may not want you to,

but one day, you might have to.

To protect your honor. To protect your family.

Or for freedom.

Like Baba Sekuru taught me back home.

How old are you now? Ten?

12.12.

I held my first Kalashnikov when I was about your age.

You see, the smallest cub

eventually grows to be a lion.

And that's you.

Come here. I'll show you something.

Alright. Stop right there.

Okay. Hold it.

Okay.

Did you know the driver lost a son?

Killed in a shooting near Algiers Point.

What do you know?

Happened about a year ago.

Newspaper article says it was an attempted carjacking.

Kid got shot during the struggle.

Meaning he's grieving, for heaven's sake.

Maybe volatile.

We just met the guy,

and you've got him running interference for the family.

I mean, brother, maybe Zenzo's right about us not trusting him.

All the people who come to us,

men and women, are desperate for something.

It's what makes them pliable.

It also makes them untrustworthy.

This man is an unnecessary liability.

There are safer ways to step out of Father's shadow.

Let me determine who should be trusted,

or not.

Horse: How are we? Colin: It's done.

So, you fixed Colin's mess?

Yeah. Made good on a promise.

Desire to repay a debt. His.

This could have ended differently for you, Colin.

You're lucky to have a friend like Gray.

Take a seat, Gray.

What happened in your garage the other night

is in no way reflective of who we are as a family.

We are loving, compassionate, forgiving.

You hear that, Col?

I won't let you down again.

You won't.

I believe this is for you.

Hey.

Alright.

Colin.

Smile.

I suppose there's a question of where we stand.

I suppose there is.

I'm in need of someone like you,

behind the wheel and by my side.

Well, with respect,

my wheel man days are in the past.

I was just here for Col.

I would like to return to my family.

You'll be taking Luke and me home.

We can discuss further on the way.

Ahh.

Uh-huh.

So

Suburban daddy suddenly gets the urge to drive fast.

I just want to go home, man. Do you, now?

See, my gut says

there's something else you're after.

How does the saying go again?

You can't go home again.

Luke: Uncle says he's gonna take me to City Park today.

Mm, change of plans. I'm cooking tonight.

What? Yes.

Yes. Sadza, muriwo nenyama. Your favorite.

What?! Yes.

Aw, come on! What's "come on"?

We have the same food every night. Can we switch it up?

And what exactly do you think they eat in Zimbabwe?

I don't know! Get out of here.

Are you sure?

Gracián: Where to, sir?

You know the city, so follow these directions.

No variations.

Says here to take the Claiborne Bridge.

It's been closed since Monday for construction.

Then we'll go the way you know. Yes, sir.

Gracián: You comfortable back there?

Mm-hmm.

What was that, Luke?

What do you mean?

This gentleman asked us a question.

Is that what I told you about respecting your elders?

Try again.

We're fine, sir. Thank you. My pleasure.

♪ Girl, you haven't called at all ♪

These friends of yours?

No.

Gray...

Oh, shit.

Brace yourself.

- Come on! - They got guns!

Stay down!

Go, go, go!

Come on!

Luke: Baba, who are those people?

Everything alright back there? Look, look. Look and focus!

Okay.

Engine's failing. Road's blocked.

Hang tight. I'll get us out of here.

Get down! Cover the boy!

Aah!

Stay down! Where are you going, Gray?!

Gray!

Come on, come on!

Listen to me. Let me get the boy.

Let me get him safe.

I will tell you when.

Okay. Okay. You're gonna go with Gray.

Now!

Now! Let's go! Go!

Come on!

Get in there. Get in there. Right here.

You stay. Stay here.

Your Baba's coming. He's coming, okay?

He's coming. You stay there. You stay there.

Luke: Baba?

No. No, no, no. Stay here.

Baba! Stay there! Stay there!

Baba! No, no, no!

No, no. You stay here. No.

No! Baba!

Look at me. Look at me.

Look at me. Okay. Okay.

Breathe.

Wyatt: We don't stop until Horse Tongai is dead.

I know a place.

Where is he? The Horse decided

the driver was protection enough for him.

Gray.

I have worked hard to put. This noise behind me.

First the cops come knocking, and now his car gets shot up?

What the hell is Dad into?

Sir, the mission is closed.

I'm not here to pray.
