[MUSIC PLAYING]
So I talked you up, and he really
loves what you're writing about your family,
your dad in particular.
Are you serious?
Don't bury the lead, Deborah.
It's a tight deadline, but they
want to publish the chapter on your dad's depression.
I know what you're thinking.
But, Nova, I have never seen anyone tell the truth
and not have that truth set them free.
My daughter deserves to have full custody--
- Mom. - --of her son.
Take the test so that we can be done with all of this.
Stop!
I will not allow you to do this to the father of my son.
I took it.
I took the test.
He ain't mine.
And it's not just pneumonitis.
I have lupus.
What?
For how long?
Months.
It's OK, baby.
I'm fine now.
Why didn't you tell us before?
Because I didn't need y'all worrying.
What kind of wages are you paying, Mr. Callahan?
Most of your facilities say they pay just above the minimum,
isn't that right?
The minimum, not to mention the free labor you'll
get from the prison inmates.
[APPLAUSE]
All right, all right, we're more than
prepared to offer competitive wages
to all the staff, Ms. Bordelon.
Oh, really?
Well, I guess there's a first time for everything.
Your company's history doesn't suggest that.
Am I right, Mr. Callahan?
And let's not forget.
When legislative boundaries are redrawn,
prisoners are counted as residents.
But they can't vote.
So who does that benefit?
Is it us?
Is that the town winning?
Or is it politicians who gain off population
growth during reelections?
Well, endure our little temporary setback.
You made a deal with a woman who would
stab her own brother in his back and watch him bleed out.
In God's name, what do you think she's going to do you?
You'd better speak up, black bitch.
Excuse me?
No, what did you say?
Oh, say it again, dude.
Say it again.
[ENGINE ROARS]
If we allowed this, St. Joe becomes another place
that puts hope in cages and continues
to systematically destroy the lives
of black and brown people.
But we can stop that.
Yes, we can.
I truly believe that we--
we are the ones we've been waiting for.
[APPLAUSE]
I started making a little money here and there,
but I never imagined a real business.
Well I, for one, am glad the secret's out because your pies
are addictive.
Thank you, baby.
I don't understand.
I thought you said you had a gift for me.
[LAUGHS]
You did not.
Yes, yes I did.
[LAUGHS]
It's all yours.
13 years ago I had an affair.
Charlie, I have a daughter.
A month ago her mother passed away.
And when I decided that I'm moving
back to LA to take care of her.
LA?
Yeah.
You've got to be kidding me.
[ENGINE STRUGGLES]
Your battery might be dead.
What?
Battery might be dead.
OK, turn it.
[ENGINE STARTS]
I'd hate to regret this later, but can I give you my number?
On your worst day, your spirit flies so high that it makes
everything around you better.
So I commit to you us and I have learned the difference
between a love that liberates and a love that feels
like it's always been free.
I choose freedom.
I choose love.
I choose you.
