Yes. It's a great group.

Fought for America in World War II.

Oh.

Oh, this is a gym here, yeah?

Beautiful, open 24 hours.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you.

Look at that cloud.

I see a swimming pool with boys jumping in.

-Where? -There. Look.

There's the arms.

Oh, yeah, I see it. I see it. I see it.

They're a Little League team, just won the big game,

I'm gonna be all right, honey.

I'm going to be all right.

Okay.

If anybody can maneuver, it's your ma.

Okay? What's she say all the time?

"My husband was a Tuskegee Airman."

Listen, I know keeping elders at home

is supposed to be a noble thing and all,

but there's something to be said

for keeping her as independent as she can be.

-Where'd you find them? -Next to the lamp.

Under a scarf with the ringer off.

Ugh...

You've got to use the hook.

That is what it is there for.

Is that Mr. Brett?

-Ohh! - Ready to go out?

Is this Marion? How's Teddy?

You know, working my nerves, but what else is new?

-You need some paper towels? -Yeah.

Let's not miss this flight, okay?

I love you. Please be safe, okay?

Okay.

You got your boarding pass?

-I knew you had that. -Yeah, you knew it, huh?

-You got it. -Bye.

Bye, baby.

The shipyard workers at Blohm and Voss

gather for a ceremony celebrating the company's new

295-foot vessel.

Adopted by the Nazis,

a "heil" salute was mandatory for German citizens.

But if you look closely,

you'll find someone who defied this.

His name is believed to be August Landmesser.

He had joined the Nazi Party two years before this day,

but in that time,

August met and fell in love with a woman

unlike any he'd ever met.

Unlike any he was supposed to have met.

Irma Eckler.

A Jewish woman.

Although a member of the dominant class,

August saw in Irma what others like him chose not to see.

Her humanity, her beauty,

her love.

On this day,

he folded his arms

rather than salute a regime that deemed that love illegal.

On this day, he was brave.

He couldn't have been the only one who felt something tragic

was happening.

So why was he the only one among the men

to not go along that day?

Perhaps we can reflect on what it would mean

to be him today.

I'll leave you with that.

Thank you.

-Good luck. -Thank you.

Bye.

Let me get this.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

-Water? -I'm fine. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Isabel, Isabel. Hey!

Amari!

I didn't know you were speaking.

No, no, no, one of my reporters is.

Hey, can you guys give me a minute?

Okay.

You were solid.

-Nice work. -I am a better writer

than I am a speaker.

Yeah, well, you're a better writer

than most people do anything.

So, listen, I was gonna reach out to you on something.

So I'mma take seeing you as a sign.

This... This Trayvon Martin case.

-I know. -Have you heard the tapes?

No. Of what?

Not the murder?

911 calls. This killer called 911

before he did it.

And tapes of people that heard the boy screaming out

and called the police.

-Is this public? -No.

But it's being released.

Slowly.

But we got him.
