So what do you think?

I can hear back from
the school by tomorrow.

It would be great if he could get in.

Is that a cop behind us.

Driver, please exit the vehicle

Here we go.

It's okay babe I'll handle this.

You're moving too fucking much for me Pal!

Come on, man.

We're just coming from dinner.

Ain't no need for all this aggression

You fit the description of

somebody that committed
a robbery in the area

Aww come on with that
stereotypical bullshit!

what are you doing?!

What the hell is going on?

Get your hands off of him!

Let me see your hands!

Come on man.

There's someone in the car.

Hey. Hey, that's my son.

Get out of the car!

He can't hear you.

Hey, that's my son.

He's deaf

I'm a give you to the count of three.

Get out of the car.

That's my son. That's
my son. He can't hear you.

ONE!

He can't hear you!

TWO!

NO!

THREE!

FONTE!!!

Are you alright?

Are you ok baby?

Yes... is everything ok?

I don't know... baby I don't know.

We've come up on some disturbing news in

regards to virus updates, there's
been over 200,000 casualties

in the DFW area alone
over the past three weeks.

In the year 2022 A.D.

A deadly virus killed 99.999%
of the world's population

The few survivors were melanated

individuals that shared
a special blood type

Everyone lived in peace
and harmony... initially

But selfishness and greed caused the
masses to forget their history & unity

Factions were created to keep the peace

But only lead to more bloodshed

Good morning, students.

Good morning, Miss King

And what is the darkest shade of black?

Vanta black.

That is correct.

And you are

Unique.

And you are special.

And you are a member of the Vanta faction.

The Vanta and the Pure

Call Us Tweeners

They've long casted aside as

the stepchild of the factions.

Those days are coming to an end.

And members of this

faction are God's chosen people.

Why is that, Malcolm

We are God's chosen people
because God is in the sun.

Our melanin allows us
to absorb the sun's power.

So the Vanta faction
has the most God in us.

Great job.

And a perfect answer.

It's a good day to be a Vanta

Yeeeeeeehh!

We Are!

The Pure.

You see, the bronze
faction is the perfect blend

of the vanta and the pure's best traits.

So who needs either of them,
when God has created us?

Suuuuu!

God saw that light was good

and he separated light from darkness.

Light is life.

We are God's chosen people.

We are God's chosen people.

And the bronze shall rise SUUUUUUU!

We are not to intermingle
with outside factions.

One drop of pure water into contaminated

waters does not
decontaminate, but the inverse.

One drop of contaminated
water into a pure source.

You wouldn't dare drink that
water, now, would you? No.

So when one of our officials falls in love

with VANTA FILTH it is a
stain on them individually,

and a stain on our faction as a whole.

A stain that we will
rectify and get back pure.

For the crimes of intermingling,

I sentence you to death.

No. No. No!

Noooooooo!

My king.

Are you okay?

Come on and I'll get you some help

Still no Octavious?

No.

No sign of him.

It's been years.

Yes, Kesandu

And I'm afraid it's gonna be many more.

I fear he's ventured south
into the nether regions.

How far?

By all estimations, the OC.

It's the only place outside the faction

zones that may still be inhabitable.

There are rumors of the
OC being haunted also.

Those are mere tall tales, Liam.

As your advisor, I'm just advising.

I know he's your son, but you.

Typically, when there is a but you

don't want to hear what comes after.

I'll assemble a search party right away.

But it would take months to find him,

though, even with our
most experienced tracker.

Another year, if not more.

You have three months.

Belafonte is dying.

He must know this.

This is the only thing that would bring him

back to the home that he hated so much.

Kids hate everything, Kesandu

I often wonder if I did the right thing.

It was a needed sacrifice.

Reporting your son's treason,
intermingling with that

pale skinned woman,
creating that tweener child.

Careful now.

That was my grandchild.

Rest little Cicely's soul.

I'm sorry, Kesandu

It's just that...

Octavious needs to learn sacrifice.

Liam: Ummmm

There's a war brewing, and he

will be tasked to lead it.

Where am I?

Hey, daddy. Hey.

Octavious, CiCi Sade Is it you?

Of course it is.

Who else would it be?

Man, I missed you, too.

So much.

I miss you, too.

It's okay.

It's all a dream.

And you gotta wake up now.

And this is where my story begins.

I am Octavious

Hello, Octavious

Good day to not be a Vanta

General Florence, my ex lover.

And Ali the bounty
hunter, my forever enemy.

Florence suggested
that we could talk to you.

I told her you may require

a little more forceful convincing.

Fuck you both equally.

I love you, too, Octo.

I don't need your brand to love Florence.

They say that this place is haunted.

And that's a damn lie.

Cause the only ghost
that I see, are you two.

Tell me, Ali, how many
rations are they offering you

and your hype man over
here for this mission?

Enough.

What's enough?

Enough to pick up on your God awful scent

and have it singe my
nostrils and fester for

months on end until you were found.

Just say a lot bro.

Does mother know about this?

Well...

Well, she gonna be pissed.

Maybe.

Or she'll be

Pleased that we found you.

Octo.

What's up, Whittaker. Ah.

Long time no see, brother.

My brother.

I feared the ghost would
have killed you by now.

Don't believe that haunted myth

You know me.

You should be scared for the ghost.

There were rumors of the OC being haunted.

None of them ever proven true.

It was quite actually the safest place

in old or new Dallas to me.

Belafonte's dying Octavious.

How much time?

We left months ago.

And he wasn't doing well then.

But I know Belafonte.

He's gonna hold out until he sees you.

So do something for the greater good of

the faction for once in your life.

I'll come back to see my grandfather.

But I ain't putting on
these God awful threads.

Whatever you do, make it quick.

Yea Hurry up.

Man shut your ass up

Why not hit me instead?

We can go. - Im here

We have no time for this pettiness.

Come on, Whit

Let's get you out of this vanta bullshit.

Got some old world garments in the house

and they're fire pieces.

Fire?

Are these clothes burned?

It's an expression.

Means stylish.

Stylish?

Just come on, bro.

The nether regions.

A big strip of land that

separated oak cliff from New Dallas.

And the last place the
Anglo Saxons didn't gentrify.

Scary to many.

But beautiful, if you ask me.

I need to relieve myself.

If you got a pee, just piss.

You ain't got to announce it

By the way, where the
hell is your little flunky at?

I sent him to track a new bounty.

I shall return.

I sent him to track a new bounty

Man...

Motherfucker.

My best friend Whitaker

A sight for soar eyes and

The last person in the
silos I could really trust.

Well, Flo too, but it's
kind of complicated.

What you're wearing.

That's the armor of Dirk Nowitzki

The legend says that he's the

greatest white man that ever lived.

They've been extinct for some time now.

Have your parents ever seen any?

Nah, not my parents.

My grandfather has.

But yeah, Whit

I just want to thank
you for being real, man.

Thank you for being my friend.

Guys, guys, guys.

It's 2097.

No one is going to judge you.

So how about you two just
profess and confess your love

for each other and go be free.

Boy Fuck you!!!

That was not nice, Octo

But it seems that you and Whittaker

here have already headed
in that direction. Huh?

Oh, my God.

Who the fuck is this?

The hamburglar.

Will you please stop making references to

old world shit that only you understand?

What business do you
have in the nether region?

If you're gonna kill me,
then just get on with it.

What does a high ranking
soldier, pure soldier,

like you doing in the nether regions?

Excommunication.

Starvation.

This bitch was lonely,
desperate, and hungry.

That's a bad combination.

Why were your rankings stripped?

I had a relationship

with a Vanta Commoner

that Crawford deemed inappropriate.

He told me that my intermingling

With the Vanta filth had made me unclean

He had him executed in front of me

He spared me, but not out of mercy.

Only to disgrace me.

And how'd you end up here?

Some of the other
officials helped me escape.

Not everyone agrees with that maniac.

So what is the punishment for

her trying to steal our rations?

Give her a few rations.

Let her wander the nether region.

I mean, exile is enough.

Okay, but no rations.

She comes with us.

She what?

No.

Yeah. This is a little crazy Octo

Octo and his pure fetish.

Why do you have such
a soft spot for the pale?

Did you not learn your lesson with Sade?

Flo. you mention my slain family Flo,

And I swear to God...

I'll...

Why was I never good
enough for you Octavious

I suggested that we bring her.

Not because I'm quirk

or a kink or no stupid shit like that.

She seems like she hates Crawford

just as much as we do.

And being a former pure faction elite,

I know she has insider information.

It could be beneficial to us.

Mother would be pleased.
And you know, ain't no

information like inside of information.

Makes sense, right.

I get it.

And I guess it's kind of smart

You're coming with us

Wait, going where?

Silos.

Do I have a choice?

Nah.

DAMN!

And every time I think I'm out,

they pull me right back in

Hey Octavious

I love you

Sade

Sade

Octo!?

Sade Octo!?

What the fuck?

Why are you lusting over
ghost when I'm right here?

They say home is where the heart is.

Elder Liam.

But for me.

Home was where the hurt is...

But it still felt good to be back.

Good to see you again, elder Liam.

Good day to be a Vanta...

Good day to be a Vanta

Welcome back, Octavious

What's it been, five years?

Give or take

Who is she?

Lena.

A pure faction official.

Octavious thought it would
be wise to bring her here.

For intel

That could provide a tactical advantage.

Well, war time is an odd time

For a family reunion...

But...

Come along...

Queen Kesandu wants to speak with us.

At once!

Good to see you again, Prince Octavious

Nice garment you got on.

You must have many stories to tell of

the Nether Regions

Ahhh, this nigga man

We do not say the forbidden word.

Here in the silos, the rules

haven't changed in your absence.

Watch your mouth.

You do the watching, Liam.

You watch as they stripped my wife

and my daughter out of my quarters.

You watched as they took my life from me.

Front row seat.

So you watch your fucking mouth.

Or I'll cut it off.

What in the hell are you wearing?

And where is your coat Octavious?

Hello to you, too, mother.

Why is this traitor in our midst?

Hiring Ali was the only way.

I no longer aspire to be
the king of the Vantas.

My accolades weren't enough

You and Belafonte saw
that your son inherit that.

I have a disdain for tradition.

Though I have quarrels
with all of you. Yes.

I am only loyal to the finest of rations.

And killing those that I despise.

And the Vantas provide
me with both of those needs.

I am at your service.

I see that your kill count grows...

By the day.

I did say at all costs.

You took that quite literally, didn't you?

But we have a larger matter at hand.

There is no longer any room
for diplomacy in the silos.

Crawford has formed an alliance

with defactors from the Bronzed

Less melanated members of the Bronzed

They aspire to become
a part of the pure faction.

Crawford got word of this
dissension and exploited it.

He offered them tier two roles in the

pure faction in exchange
for their pledged loyalty.

This nigga?

Watch your mouth, Octavius.

You know that this word is no

longer used here in this faction.

You haven't been gone that long.

Leave us.

I need some time with my son.

You look smaller, son.

Have you been eating?

Where is he?

It's good to see you, too, Octo.

Where is he?

My handsome Octo

You know I don't want to fucking be here.

Momma you know why I'm here.

So please stop beating around the bush.

He's resting in his quarters.

I understand your anger, son.

Do you?

My wife, my daughter, your grandchild.

Leave us.

Listen, Octavious

There are a few set laws that we

must abide by here in the silos.

Intermingling cannot be allowed.

And what did it save?

We still have an
inevitable war with the Pure

Cause Crawford was gonna come a knocking

Cause that's what evil does.

It's relentless and it finds a way.

So you don't reason with evil.

You fight it.

But I told you that.

I told you.

To kill my wife,

My daughter, your grandchild,
over man made rituals.

How can you live with yourself?

They're still alive, Octavius!

Yes.

Look at me.

Look at the mother, the woman that

you want to hate so much.

And realize that I am not the monster

that you have made me out to be.

I had a private meeting with O'Shea and

Crawford, and they agreed
to forgive your treason

if they could keep each one as collateral.

Collateral?!

Death was the toll.

And I wanted my son alive.

Now, you don't have to thank me

but at least be thankful.

Why wouldn't you tell me?

I was waiting for you to calm down.

If you had found out, you would have rushed

the bronze and the pure's
faction all by yourself.

And I could not allow that.

But now is the right time.

And all of your efforts will be supported.

I read books that spoke about all the

oppressions that our
people endured for centuries.

We survived slavery.

We survived all kinds of oppression.

We even survived the virus.

We're the 1000%. Mama.

We were tasked by God, I believe,

to make this world a better place.

But that we didn't do

You know what mama I need to see.

Cicely, I need to get to Sade I just.

In time, son.

In time.

But first.

Your grandfather

Yea

Hey Grandpa.

I came back to see you.

I just got back from the nether regions.

I read a lot of books while I was there.

Same way we used to read when I was a kid.

Always seek knowledge
and truth and know your

history, or you'll be forced to repeat it.

That's what you'd always say.

And, man, are we ever repeating it.

I mean, mama, man, she a strong woman.

But a strong woman in and
of itself just ain't enough.

You needed her and she needed you.

Y'all balanced each other out.

It's like the yin and the yang.

Now shit just yanging.

Minimal ying.

that there just ain't it.

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

Naomi.

Naomi.

Were you fucking with me?

Were you fucking with me?

That shit low even for you.

I'm Sorry

Are you.

Man, Imma miss you.

I'm not dead yet

Okay. Right on.

Right on, I'll give you that.

I Talked to

Talked to mama.

She said that Sade and Cicely are living

and I don't know how to process it

I don't know what to do.

Go get them

Unite the People.

Unite all the People.

I love you.

Love you too.

Love you too.

He was a good man.

Yes, he was Kesandu

He'll be dearly missed.

Yes.

I wonder what Octo's gonna do now.

So you're still here.

My grandfather told me to unite the people

on his death bed

so that's exactly what I intend to do.

And how do you plan to do that?

Particulars can be handled.

After the ceremony

head to your quarters
and get yourself together

The crowning ceremony.

One of the oldest Vanta traditions.

The king adorns a crown on his

head by way of a natural style.

But the official crown

Is something a little less traditional.

I got, I got, I got

I got loyalty got royalty inside my DNA

Cocaine, quarter piece
got war and peace inside

my DNA, I got power, poison, pain and joy

inside my DNA, I got hustle flow

Ambition, though inside my DNA

Yehhhhhhh

Yehhhhhhh

Yehhhhhhh

Yehhhhhhh

Vanta

Heir, to Belafonte

And Garvey the Great, I present to

you Octavious, king of the Vantas

Vanta

Yehhhhhhh

I don't like that shit.

You know what that smoke signifies?

Yeah.

He's back.

Yes.

And he'll come once he
realizes that she's here.

He may not have to.

I'm thinking maybe we come to him.

Are you sure about that Crawford?

Oh I'm positive.

I know Octavius.

He's always trying to find
the silver lining in things.

A full fledged fight he
won't want any parts of.

You know, I think you underestimate him.

The Vanta can be a beast when unleashed.

Well, I guess I'll have
to be a beast killer.

Sounds good.

But will you be able to
kill an old friend so easily?

We haven't been friends
since we were children.

He's just another darkie to me.

You know, Octavius nor Sade

adjusted to the factions very well.

We did.

We didn't just adjust.

We evolved.

Indeed.

But will you kill him?

If it comes down to it.

Crawford

I do not need you going soft on me.

The last soft spot in my heart

is for you

my love

For the crime of aiding and abetting

a prisoner's escape

I sentence you

TO DEATH!

Do you have any last words?

I love you.

I love you.

Poetic...

Yahhhh

GENTLEMAN.

Good day to you Mugsy.

Good day to you Ali.

Getting some work in I see.

Why are you here?

Word throughout the silos

Another cold body outside the gate.

It's what we do.

Jesus, Ali, can you please run that

shit by me before you do it? It was a Vanta

Well, he was twenty non

genetically modified
rations and a pedophile.

Hey, I'm not trying to change y'all.

I swear I'm not

But just please run
that shit by me next time

out of respect.

Alright?

We wont mark the kill...

Now I've walked these silos

a thousand times before

But never with the title of king.

So much more at stake.

Now, I had the Vanta's attention.

But I'd have to earn that respect.

The fluctuation in this Dallas weather

oh, how I miss the seasons.

Do you think this is the right thing to do?

I know it is.

Octavious

You have to keep your composure.

They are going to be on guard and ready.

I ain't leaving without CiCi

Tell me, can you trust
the pure girl's intel?

I trust her.

She hates us through ideals.

But Crawford killed her lover.

She hate his ass for real.

I'll see you

See you later, momma

Son.

You have to stay very calm and

focused when negotiating with the bronzed.

They have a way.

Alright.

Octavious a word, please.

Octavious please, a word.

Well, if I'm being candid, I must say

that I love what you're trying to do.

You're trying to do the right thing.

We must be practical and realistic, though.

You're a history buff, correct?

Correct.

It's the exact same thing that

happened in the old world.

The white people, as
they coined themselves,

rejected facts right in their faces for

hundreds of years, oppressing all of us.

Why would Crawford.

Crawford...

want a new world

Where his status is lessened,

and his superiority complex lessened.

Hmm?

Vantas play chess.

So from this point forward,

every move we make, big or small

is all leading up to a bigger purpose.

When are we going to
experience a checkmate?

When you see it, you'll know.

And so we went

On a journey to the bronze gates,

about a day trip

Now, the question wasn't were

They gonna let us in?

You could walk up to the bronze

gates and they'll allow you access.

The real question was,

was once they let us in,

would we come out?

You have any chicken?

He say pigeon?

I think it was fresh pigeon.

The ancients had a saying.

All black is beautiful.

Suuuuu

Seems like the people of
New Dallas forgot the meaning

I mean, what really made us different?

A color spectrum.

Sometimes that was subjective.

There were some Vantas
that could pass for bronze

and some bronze that were damn near pure.

But once a faction was declared for you,

all logic went out the window.

And it was just who you were.

Just what the fuck are you doing,

walking into my gates unannounced?

I have these niggas carved up in a second.

Babe just give me the word.

It's gonna be hard to do that...

when your hands are missing.

Be pretty hard.

Call off your dog, Octo.

Yeah, before I put that bitch down.

Try it!

Your bitch.

You're respectful woman.

Got at flow first.

Now you know her?

She just returned the threat.

Why are you here, Octo?

Just checking up on the old friend O'Shea.

We ain't no damn friends.

Your people have looked
down on us for years.

And I was against it.

Well, you were about 20 years too late.

State your business.

We need to join forces, O'Shea.

If The faction zones get
word of us coming together

a lot of people can
join under that pretense

We can have a chance
to actually win this thing.

I know.

I wasn't too thrilled about it either.

And, yeah, we got our differences,

but Crawford is the true
enemy, and you know that O'shea

O'shea.

I don't trust him.

I mean, how can we build with them?

They come up in here
like they running shit.

Octo, and his band of bitches.

This nigga got a mark on his face

for every time he had his ass whooped.

I'll add another mark right now, playboy.

Right on the left side.

Can't trust him, Su

Oh Shit what you pointing at homie?

My bad, my bad.

Can't trust him, Su

That bitch is a pure.

FUCK YOU!

And this bitch!

Watch your mouth

Tweener...

is properly dressed.

When I see her, I think it's lower digress

I'm sorry, I meant degrees.

You see, punctuation is everything.

Baby you're tactical and
swift as a falcon wing

and Apollo would love to make you

Flo...

if you didn't serve a trash king.

Can't trust this bitch.

Suuuuuuuu

And then you have Octo.

The king, of the Vantas.

And the Sultan of ugly.

How in the hell you gonna lead us?

And you just came back
from a bitch nigga sabbatical.

His face got me wishing I

was blind in both of these motherfuckers.

We're not joining forces
or going into battle

with no oil spill looking ass Vantas

Do you understand me?

Enough, Apollo.

Fuck

Your. Point is well taken.

But we can hear them out at least.

So, Octavius, when do you
propose this united front?

Effective immediately.

Fuck all that.

All that peace and harmony
shit is a child's dream.

Oh, that is a perfect segway

We got your daughter.

Oh, motherfucker.

That was line item number two.

Because if you decided not to join us,

and if you didn't bring my
daughter out promptly after,

I was gonna murk every
motherfucker on this compound.

Now, I would hope.

I would hope that it
wouldn't have to come to that.

Let's do a challenge then mother f♪$ker

Second in commands can

only challenge second in commands

And I'll be glad to shut him up.

When we were younger, before the people of

new Dallas split off into factions

This mother fucker here has
been directing that bullshit at me.

So why not I direct this ass whoopin at him

Apollo had bested me in
fight training many times.

That was years ago though.

"

You better whoop his ass Octo

Glady.

You want to join forces?

Things are totally different now.

Plus I got added inspiration.

Sleep his ass Octo!

Let's go, Octo!

Octavius is the victor.

Daddy. Daddy.

In my solitude, I'd pray for a miracle.

And God granted me just that.

For five years, this
little toy guitar was the

only thing that connected
me to my daughter.

My toy.

And now I got to reconnect her with it

At their core, they
were ferocious warriors.

Daddy.

Why were you, and Mr.

Apollo, fighting?

But overall, the bronze
were a peaceful people.

Apollo developed a soft spot...

O'Shea explained to me how
close Apollo and CiCi had grown

I looked out for him...

And though it was a lot to process...

I guess I just have to tell
Mister Apollo thank you.

I had to respect it

You have my respect, Octo,

and the allegiance of the Bronze Faction.

But to be totally honest with you,

I was gone join forces with
you whether you fought or not.

O'Shea and I formed a
mutual respect that day.

But I'm always down for a good squabble.

You guys take some time to

catch up and rest up tonight.

I got something to show you in the morning.

But we knew that our
strength was in our unity.

Now, this may not look like

much, but history was made today.

For the first time in over two decades,

bronze and vanta eat at the same table.

So, Octavius, what are
your thoughts on the rations?

I actually grew them in the garden myself.

They are most delicious, Elder Claire

Thank you.

That's not all I have.

That's delicious.

Mama, can you please stop doing that shit?

You're embarrassing me.

And frankly, it's quite
unbecoming of an elder.

It's okay, O'shea.

I'm sure she was just referring to some

more rations that she grew in the garden.

Well, I think it's time I show

you what I was talking about.

I don't trust them Octo

Let me accompany you.

That's cool.

This will be good for her, too.

Let's go baby

You know, it's a good thing

you won that fight last night.

Why is that?

Cause we weren't following no losers.

I wouldn't call it following more uniting.

I feel that.

Just be glad it wasn't me.

Just be glad we'll never find that out.

Hopefully,

That kid done softened up the devil.

Look at that.

Man what is this?

You know, for years I convinced
myself that being a bronze

was the way I told my
people that by us being

in the middle of the color
spectrum, it made us superior.

Honestly, Octavius, being in the middle

feels more like a trap.

Pure closing in on the left,

Vanta closing in on the right.

How could I sell to my people that

we were better when we're made from both?

Then I was doing my rounds one day

and I had to kill a bronzed berserker.

He was intending to
harm one of these children.

The child was a pure orphan, disowned by

the family for one reason or another.

So we took them in.

Then we took in all the
kids from all the spectrums.

Yo, Nassir how long have we
had the orphanage going on

Going on five years now.

Some of these kids
been here since it opened.

Yeah, look at them, man.

Playing and interacting
as if color isn't an issue.

Because it shouldn't be, should it?

This is the real future of new Dallas.

Nobody ever thought about tending

to the forgotten children.

The neglected, the shunned, the exiled.

Their numbers outweigh all others.

The future is theirs, and
their future is inclusive.

A crazy concept.

Took me a while to grasp it.

I'll admit it.

I could be stubborn in
my ways, but these kids.

These kids gave me a newfound hope

of what the future could be.

Then you showing up here out

of nowhere, that just confirmed it.

So our goal is to not make
them wait on their future.

The Future they deserve,

we gonna give to them right now.

Indeed.

To a new world.

To a new world.

We have to hit them full force.

But Crawford, what about the gates?

What about them, Cole?

They're not reinforced
impenetrable objects.

Mother fucker they're
just symbols of safety.

Symbols that we are about
to knock the fuck down.

I understand that, Crawford,

but when we're knocking down those

symbols, we'll be at
the mercy of the Vantas

I'm not so sure that's a good idea.

I have something up my sleeve.

Call it a neutralizer.

You just prepare the
troops to breach the gate.

I'll handle the rest

Crawford!

This better be good to interrupt me

in the middle of a tactical meeting.

Yes, my apologies, but someone's coming.

And they're in Vanta attire.

How many?

Just one.

They must be on a suicide mission

We'll give them what they want.

So, Octo, you really think

Crawford's gonna listen to you?

I don't think it's a good
idea for you to go alone.

I don't either man, but I
gotta at least try you know

Crawford can be ruthless

Singing: Southside the Realest

Singing: Drug Dealers Killers

Singing: Sharks and Gorillas

I know yall used to be friends and

all, but that was a long time ago.

Singing: Cars changing colors like

Singing: Chameleon Lizards

Let's hope some of that
friendship is still intact

Let him through.

The king of the Vantas
has clearly lost his way.

He must be delusional.

The grasslands look nothing like the silos.

I mean, sometimes you just
gotta pull up on your people

That's close enough.

Hey, Layla

How are you?

We don't like surprises in
the grasslands, Octavious.

Just me.

No harm here.

And to prove it.

Now I'm unarmed.

HE LIES!

His arms are still intact.

Cole.

You stupid.

Lighten up. Get it? Cause you're.

You come here so boldly
and create an uproar like this.

I just need 20 minutes
of your time, Crawford

You have ten.

And after I decide what we do with you.

Fair enough.

So by now you know your
wife and daughter live.

I'm sure this has brought
your heart much ease.

Far as I'm concerned. Crawford.

You killed my wife and my daughter.

What a way to thank me for my mercy.

My mother gets the credit for

her diplomacy on that matter.

Enough of the formalities.

This is the part where you try to convince

me that we are all, one people.

Which ultimately doesn't
make any sense to me,

because none of us are actually black.

Many years ago, our
ancestors were taken from

a place called Africa
on things called ships.

They were treated like animals, Crawford.

Many of them died.

But those that survived were brought

to this country and enslaved.

And after 400 years of physical enslavement

an even more diabolical mental form of

slavery was waged against them.

Yet, they survived that, too.

And then there was the virus.

1000th of a percent of the
human population survived.

And guess who that 1000% was?

Black people.

You know, our ancestors
would be rolling over in

their graves if they knew
that we were oppressing

each other in the name of colorism.

You are a wonderful orator.

Always have been.

Sarcasm won't suppress the truth, Crawford

this is bullshit.

And you and I both know it

I have a story for you.

Octavious.

Please share.

You can relate to this story.

There was a man who had a daughter.

This man had never known love like the love

he felt when he laid eyes on this being.

The closest he had ever come
to God was in that moment.

Now, his daughter came out a little darker

Than he and his wife had
envisioned, but he did not care.

You see, it was customary to wait until the

child's fourth name day
to reach their official color.

So they had time.

He did not want to waste time

worrying about things that were trivial.

He knew that with his blood

and hers, everything would work out.

So he and this child got so close.

She was such a daddy's girl.

She was his heart.

And he was her superhero.

The problem was, as it got closer and

closer to her fourth name day, his little

princess continued to
get darker and darker until

she was so dark she wasn't quite a Vanta

He came to the realization that she

was going to be a certified tweener.

Not even close enough to limp her

way to permanence in the pure faction.

So when her fourth name day

arrived, there was no celebration.

There was no party.

Only a parting.

And when his little princess turned

four, there was a public denouncement.

It ripped his heart out
to hear her cries, her

confusion, her first understanding
of betrayal at his hands.

But it sent a message
throughout the faction that

he was willing to do
whatever was necessary.

This man was me.

So if I am willing to sacrifice my

own happiness, what makes you think I would

spare you the wrath of necessity?

Poor little girl.

Fuck you, Octavius.

You're not the only
one who studies history.

I do as well.

You look at it through an optimistic lens.

Me, I see it for what it is.

Throughout history, leaders have ruled.

Just because somebody has to be in

charge, somebody has to be feared.

To keep the balance, they have

to put the order in place.

Confucius, this is
history that goes further

back than you tend to look.

You're not the only smart one Octo!

Napoleon ruled by force.

The Aztecs force.

Caesar force.

Jim Crow force.

Oh, and here's a book
on current faction law

in case you wanted to get with the present.

You know, you may be interested in

the greatest ruler of all time.

Mansa Musa.

A dark man.

If he were alive today, by all

metrics, he'd be considered a vanta.

Yet I admire him.

The richest man who ever lived.

So many lands and territories he conquered.

Let me Go.

Octavius, do you think that
in this process he did not

break some of his own
people, some of his loved ones?

Octavius, I run shit because I want to.

I will conquer the silos
and take over the last major

power grid in the faction
zones because I want to.

And I will let you live because I want to.

Under these guidelines,
you scurry back to the

silos and convince the
other darkies that the

only decision to be made is to accept

third class citizenship in my new world.

If this is accepted, your
people will be allowed

to remain in the silos
under our control. Of course.

We can all live in perfect harmony.

A harmony that you decide.

Oh Octo, if you do not
do as I am telling you.

Your precious Sade

Oh, we have been so kind to her

That could change

Octavious no.

I'll give you some time to mull it over.

I know you like a good read, so feel

free to take any of the
books I've suggested.

Crawford

If you harm her in any way

I'll Fucking kill you

Do as I say, Octavius.

If you want peace, this is the way.

Think about your people.

Think about your wife.

It's what a good king would do.

A good husband.

Oh, and make it back to
the silos before nightfall.

I can't guarantee your safety past that.

Although, now that I think about it, you

might just go undetected in the darkness.

You know?

Get it?

Because you're a vanta.

Oh.

Too soon.

It's him.

Even my blind ass can see that

Now at my core, I'm a peaceful man.

But the Ancients had a saying.

When it's up, then it's stuck.

And it's about to be a lot

of slow singing and flower bringing.

Time to get war ready.

Is Sade with him?

No, he's alone.

Damn.

Octo.

What happened?

We're going to war is what happened.

Oshea, let's rally the troops.

Start talking strategy.

But what did he say Octo?

He said a lot.

But what it all amounts to is he

ain't gonna stop at nothing until he gets

the silos and take over our power grid.

Well, let's defeat them and
restore power to the silos.

As much as I would love that he got Sade

She should be here with me.

I can't believe I left her.

No Octavius, you did what you could.

My assumption of Lena was right.

She came through with useful.

Pure intel.

She devised a plan to help Flo

gain access to the pure compound.

Ain't no information
like inside information.

So we planned Sade's rescue.

Flo, Crawford's the only woman in

Silos tough as you

Let me go with you.

I don't need your help, Apollo. I got this.

Naw, Flo, that's a good idea.

He could be of help.

I got it Octavious

Well, I guess I'll see
you a little later then

I'll see you soon.

If it's war he wants?

It's war he gets.

A leader's true power is
when he exercises humility.

Now, if that statement be true, this shit I

was about to do now was gonna make me

the most powerful man in the world.

You weren't at the meeting last night.

Last night, I was hunting for personal.

Personal rations.

Well, it's the life of a bounty hunter.

Can't fault you for that.

But at said meeting.

Florence decided to run smack dab

into the pure compound by herself on a

rescue mission that I
personally think she may

not be fully equipped to handle by herself.

Something in my spirit
tells me she needs you both.

So I come with a proposition.

No, I don't even come
with a proposition Ali

I come asking a favor.

What is it for me that I gain?

Now, I know you once
believed in these silos

Once believed in the Vantas

You're right.

I did once believe.

Now, I'm gonna need
you to get that belief back.

Because it's bigger than just us.

The whole sake of new Dallas is at stake

So just get Florence.

Because it's the right thing to do.

We need her

I don't want to lose her and Sade

You know I can't track for shit,

you're right about that

So I humbly ask you to do that

Please Ali

Well, maybe I speak with
Crawford on your behalf.

But of course, it would take
some proof of allegiance.

In certain ways, I will find Florence

For you and the Vantas

Don't worry about the rations.

Being that Lena was a
former pure official, she knew

all the ins and outs of the pure compound.

Weak spots, open tunnels, shift changes.

Anything that hinted at

vulnerability she could exploit.

Lena revealed that the pures
numbers were weakened due

to Crawford killing so many of his own

And even though Crawford
wasn't really religious, he

used it as a form of control.

So 95% of the faction was always at

mass, screaming, we
are God's chosen people.

To see who believed him more.

So that left two unassuming
guards to watch the front.

And Florence liked those odds.

ALL CLEAR!

Please hear my prayer.

First off, protect my child.

Protect her from this world.

Keep her protected even
when I can't protect myself.

She's so full of love and life.

This world does not deserve her.

And God.

Protect Octavious.

He has so much on his shoulders.

Protect that man of God.

Let him make the right decisions.

Help him make this world a better place.

That has been his sole purpose.

I've always seen a light in him.

Protect that light.

God, enhance that light.

Allow that light to spread and

not be dimmed in the least.

Please keep.

Nobody's coming to save you.

Flo!

Let's get you out of here

Ali how long have you been following me

For a while.

I was asked to track you. Let's go.

Octavious

Flo

She had to fight off the pure soldiers.

Okay.

I need you to go back to the Barracks

No, no.

We stay with you tonight.

My baby.

You got so big.

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

I used to see colors.

But since the day they left my

life, everything has been black and white.

And I only saw colors in my dreams.

When I dreamed of them, I thought

God took away my reason for living.

We started a war for this.

Don't get shy on me now.

But he just made me appreciate it more.

Man, you know I ain't never shy Sade.

How you think we got
that one? Yeah, I know.

I was there.

So was I.

Love is a funny thing, man.

It instantly puts
everything in perspective.

And just lets you
know how trivial it all is.

If love ain't in it, what's
all this fighting for?

If it's not for love?

Or to preserve love,
or the people you love?

What do all these rituals mean?

If they only lead to death.

War can wait.

Your queen has waited long enough.

Say less.

Where's your head at Octo

gonna lie with this all over the place.

Not so fearful about what happens to me.

I'm so fearful about
what happens to everybody

else if something happens to me, you know?

What's your plan?

We'll meet Crawford at
the gates and see if we

can reach peace terms one more time.

But we know he ain't going for that.

Nah.

So plans b through z is war.

If anybody can do this, it's you.

You the King!

For now...

Let's get to it.

Let's get it.

And Crawford did come that day.

No army in tow.

There was an internal
uprising within the pure's ranks.

One half of the army he killed.

The other half, full on mutiny

Even with this, he was unwavering.

Evil and determination like this

could never be counted out.

Octavious

I found your pet.

I knew he had something up his sleeve.

A ferocious, feisty one, she is.

She and her men took down a good amount of

my guards before we
were able to subdue her.

Florence.

Is still breathing.

The others, not so much.

Let her go.

NO.

What now?

How long do you think
these gates can keep us out?

Let's just say you so happen

to make it past these gates.

What do you think awaits
you on the other side?

I will extend my olive
branch one more time.

Fuck this beige bitch.

I like this one, Octavious

The definition of a soldier.

I'm actually happy about the trade.

Sade doesn't hold near
the value of Florence.

I have damaged your army far

more significantly by this rescue attempt.

No true leader would sacrifice his number

one soldier for some useless woman.

You are not fit to lead
this new world, Octavius.

But I am.

I know what it takes.

Metal projectile weapons

Guns

Same shit

I've held onto them
for a time such as this.

Now let us end, Octavius,
or there will be bloodshed.

Unite ALL the people.

I, Octavius, king of the Vantas

enact war by champion law.

What?

Champion law.

Champion law.

Oh, and here's a book
on current faction law,

in case you wanted to get with the present.

It was in one of your reading suggestions.

I know you like a good read, so feel

free to take any of the
books I've suggested.

Whenever war is declared
between the factions, it can

either be settled by all out war or by

a battle to the death
between the faction leaders.

That would be you and me..

Elders...

Is this correct?

That is correct.

Yes, it is true.

The fate of the silos can be

settled between the faction leaders.

Back up.

Alright we've been going
over this rebellion for

the better part of a year.

We're going through with this.

Which is a direct violation
of faction law Crawford!

Get your ass back in line.

You ain't fighting anyway.

Nobody gives a shit about your fun facts of

knowledge in the middle of a war zone.

Were y'all afraid to fight too?

Come on.
We've been over this.

These gates can easily be breached.

We can see through em for Christ sakes!

Crawford!

You can win a fight with Octavius.

This can all be over.

You bitching out on me, too Cole

No.

Stupid motherfucker.

That would be true leadership, my love.

Look, you can show everyone in the silos

who is the strongest in the factions.

You defeat Octavius, he drops dead, and

so does his little dream world.

I say we enact champion law.

You'll be remembered in victory or defeat.

That's ultimately what you want, right?

Very well.

Since you all afraid to fight for your

right of supremacy, I'll do it for you.

Clever, Octavius.

I'll just have to rip you to shreds myself.

Huh?

Let's rumble

Bitch ass Nigga.

The area code.

The ancients would use it
as a form of communication.

These three digits would also

signify where you were from.

It was customary for the
Vantas when choosing their

champion, for them to
come out gracing the 214

roman numerals so their
adversaries would already know.

Time to go to work

It won't be enough to
simply make a fool of you

Octavious, I am going to wipe your.

Oh, shut the fuck up.

Come on Octo you got this!

Let's go Octo!

Come on, Octavious

Get his ass, Octo

Let's go Octo!

Come on, Octavious

You got it baby come on!

You just fucked up

You embarrass me in front of my

faction, in front of the entire silos.

You embarrass yourself,

it doesn't have to end this way

It ends, when you die

Check.

Get his ass Octo

Finish him Octo

You're so big and bad

before you can have the world.

You want,

you have to kill me

sacrifice the one for the many

Do it!

I don't have to kill you Crawford

I got, I got, I got

I got loyalty got royalty inside my DNA

Cocaine, quarter piece
got war and peace inside

my DNA, I got power, poison, pain and joy

inside my DNA, I got hustle flow

ambition, though inside my DNA

Check Mate

My Nigga

I love you.

I love you too.

Octavious!!!!

and that was the end of Crawford.

I guess other than all black is beautiful.

Remember your history and unite the people.

Another message that rang out

throughout the silos that day.

A black woman can only
take so much of your bullshit.

How you feeling?

Like shit.

But I'll live.

We know you will.

Ah, nigga.

That hurt.

Man I ain't even hug you that hard.

My ribs are broken.

Grazing them is too hard, you idiot.

Flo, gonna flo, eh?
Oh, yeah.

I outlawed the n word this morning, too.

Number one.

No more nigga.

So you can't be calling me that

It's officially a law now.

Officially.

No longer taboo.

Not just taboo

No more using the word nigga.

Unless we talking about
not using the word nigga.

It's on the books.

So stop calling me nigga.

My nigga

Okay, but

Only one other niggas ain't around.

So I'm gonna be leaving for a little bit.

Why we need you here, Octo?

We've had peace and
affection last for what, a week?

I just really feel I need to

spend some time with my family Flo.

We're are your family too, Octo?

This, I know.

But what's a king when
his house ain't in order

You know, and you're not gonna guilt

trip me on this either Flo

I feel like I deserve it

You're right.

You do deserve it.

Just don't stay gone so long this time.

Well it's different this time.

Got responsibilities back here.

Just gonna be a little sabbatical,

as the ancients call it.

Here you go.

But I bring to you good news.

Somebody gotta run this
crazy place while I'm gone.

Who better to do that than you, Flo?

I'm a woman, Octo

You know that won't
fly in the faction zones.

First of all, I run the faction zones now.

Job is yours till I get back.

Oh, I come bearing gifts.

Take a look at that when I leave.

Thank you, Octo

You're welcome, Florence

Hold it down.

While I'm gone, alright?

"

You Ready?

Yeah, I'm ready.

Think Imma leave hood behind, too.

Let's go.

And that's how my story ends.

Back to the OC I go.

Can't stay away.

But ALL hail the melanated people

and all hail the king

Heir, to Belafonte, and Garvey the Great...

I present to you...

Octavious...

King of the Vantas

Where am I?

Oh this can not be good.

Help me!

Somebody, anyone!

Get me out of here!

Get me out of here!!!!!
