Fear of a Black Planet

I should've never let you in here.

- You shouldn't have gotten mixed in with those guys.

What are you afraid of?

Why'd you leave so early?

I wanted to make you breakfast.

Yeah, I know, I'll be able to make you breakfast every day.

Yeah, no, me, I gotta go pick up my assignment.

I'm not sure yet, but I'm hoping it's not far.

You know, L.A. traffic is already a nightmare.

Okay, babe, I'll see you tonight?

Love you too.

Bye.

- The country is in a complete civil race war.

Is someone shooting?

God, move, move!

Not again.

Call me back, call me back, I need you!

I'm downtown near 10th!

Hey, hey.

I hear you, somebody in there?

Somebody?

Yo, bitch!

Yo, bitch, I know you in there!

I hear you!

I'm coming for your ass!

Yeah, we'll be back!

What the fuck?

Let's go, cover your head!

They finally did it.

Who finally did what?

This has been coming.

For anybody listening, watching.

This has been coming.

I have to see what's going on.

My car is out there.

You know what's going on.

You were already out there.

Just getting worse.

Do you have a phone I could use?

Stopped working an hour ago.

Well is there another way out of here?

What about that door?

It's just storage.

This is the safest place in the city right now.

What are you, some kind of artist?

Bingo, what gave me away?

All my dirty paintbrushes?

Or my high fashion wardrobe?

- What's a white girl doing living down here?

You slumming?

- Till my splashes of color can actually make me money,

warehouse in the hood is all a white girl can afford.

We just heard a big explosion.

Not more than a block

away from us.

And a gang of men, a gang of armed men

have been going back and forth from each other.

There's been looting everywhere.

This is Fabia Lopez, back to you at the studio.

Let's get out of here.

- Might as well make ourselves comfortable.

There's not much we can do.

Just ride it out.

- This is not just some wave that will come and go.

No, you're right.

Like all waves, there'll be another one after this.

And another one after that.

You don't look like a surfer.

I'm not.

Just a student of history and human behavior.

Called some of my friends.

They should be here by now.

- Thought you said the phone stopped working.

It did.

I talked to him this morning.

They're coming in from out of town.

We did it, Pops.

I got my badge today.

Yeah.

I know you always wanted a boy

to follow in the family legacy.

But I guess it was me, huh?

And I promise I'm gonna be the best cop you ever saw.

We should stay away

from the windows.

We don't want anyone to see us.

No.

We can't just sit here and do nothing.

We have to do-- - What?

We have to what?

The world is on fire.

If we go out there, we'll burn with it.

Well you might be okay with just sitting

and watching it burn, but I'm not.

There's nothing we can do.

Who do you think you are, some kind of wonder woman?

No.

I'm a--

Ric, where are you?

I'm okay, I'm...

I don't even know what happened.

I was leaving downtown from work when everything happened.

Yes, yes, I'm safe right now, I'm...

I'm in a warehouse building near Central.

What's the address here?

There's no address outside.

Just middle of the block on 14th, red door.

Middle of the block on 14th, red door.

I'll look out for you.

What's going on?

I can't see anything.

This is crazy.

I mean, they always said something like this would happen,

but I never thought...

Just be safe and get here as fast as you can.

Okay?

Okay, I love you.

Fuck.

I think there's somebody out there.

What are you talking about?

- I think I see somebody, but I'm not sure.

It's a little girl.

Is she alive?

I don't know.

I'm going out there.

Go to the window and look out for me.

If you see something, you see anyone, yell out.

Can you open the door for me?

I'll be right back.

Hey.

Hey.

You all right?

Are you hurt?

Fuck.

I always wanted myself a black--

Now you're next.

Can't run from me!

I see, no, I'm not there!

Am I there?

I'm everywhere!

You can't hide from me, I see you!

You!

Nova, it's me!

It's me, let me in!

Nova!

Need you to let me in, please!

Now, now!

I know you're afraid, please.

Please.

Please, please.

You all right, sister?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm all right.

Good.

I saw that motherfucker trying to go after you.

But we ain't having that today, not no more.

We cleaning house today.

Getting rid of all those white devils.

You alone in here, sister?

Yeah.

This is my studio.

You read a lot, that's good.

We need smart black women to raise our children.

The white devils have been poisoning them

with lies about us.

Yo, Adisa!
