Queen Sugar

Last season on "Queen Sugar."

I read your sister's book.

We're more alike than not.

You threw Darla's past right up in her face.

Don't relapse.

My past led me to you, and that led

me to want to be a better man.

All we did was support groups for women at St.

Jo's, and not one from them.

The migrant workers that were killed during the hurricane,

why didn't you tell me?

It cost the men their lives.

I am officially announcing my candidacy for city council.

Fighting for what's right, that's what I want to do.

I rescinded my acceptance letter to Harvard this morning.

How dare you, Micah.

Don't know man have the right to take advantage of you.

That's rape.

The mill's on fire.

Whoever did it, I'm glad for it.

You're under arrest for conspiracy to commit arson.

Don't you dare put those things on me.

Please send my father in.

What on earth?

And I will take your land.

It'll never happen.

What I see now is more brave and more beautiful I ever seen.

To my ancestors on high, I thank you for growth, grace.

I thank you for this step forward into redemption.

Started like a summer day.

Thank you for the gift you've given to this family

after generations of strife.

Today will be a win for us all.

With the sacrifice, I invite your wisdom,

your love, your light into the center of my being.

Should have seen it coming,

but you were what I wanted.

Wash me clean.

Restore my purpose.

Twilight.

Twilight flying out the window.

Nothing else to say.

Out with the old.

In with my new.

Dreams never die.

Take flight as the world turns.

Keep the colors in the lines.

Take flight as the world turns.

Keep the colors in the lines.

Take flight.

Dreams never die.

Keep the colors in the lines.

Keep the colors in the lines.

Take flight.

Ralph Angel Bordelon, I am your father.

Also breakfast is ready.

You really like that movie?

Yeah.

It smell like you burnt that toast again.

I did not.

I was just saying.

Come here.

No.

You're not too big for no kisses.

Come on.

Shall we?

Yeah, we shall.

I'm definitely hungry.

I hope you didn't burn it.

I said, I did not.

I definitely know you didn't brush your teeth though.

Rise and shine, mommy.

Rise and shine.

Breakfast in bed the fourth time this week.

You're spoiling me.

You both are.

I got the toast right this time.

Taste.

OK.

Go ahead and taste that.

Very good.

Yes.

Very good.

Somebody got to get ready for school.

Got to drop you off for the family's big day.

Every day is a big day now that mom lived here.

That's right.

OK, bye.

Bye.

You know that toast is burnt.

Why do you lie to that boy?

While it's a little charred, it's not burnt.

I'm happy.

Me too, especially today.

I'm just saying, baby, it bothers me.

Now we're 20 years into the 21st century,

but I still feel like folks ain't

really party like it was 1999.

Well, maybe you didn't, but I sure did.

But you didn't know me back then.

I was what the old folk called too much.

I bet you was.

Now, that's too much of that coconut flavoring.

Just a touch is good.

All right, baby.

I got it.

How many of these soul cakes we need by the end of the week?

Well, she's expecting 300 people, but I don't know.

We ain't never done nothing like this before.

The feast of Saint Josephine.

You can count on Charley to think of a new way

to celebrate her new term.

I'm proud of her.

And all this time and folks just now realizing that Saint Jo

was named after a Black woman.

Well, you know, I think everything should

be named after a Black woman.

Listen, now you're just trying to get some.

I sure am.

I ain't tell you about a new recipe, have I?

It's a dessert.

I call it Hollywood's afternoon delight.

Stop.

Go.

Come on.

And save all that for your own business,

and, in fact, when is the real spot opening?

Soon.

Soon, but you know I ain't going to do nothing until it's right.

But in the meantime, in between time...

We can't be late for the big day.

Charley is expecting us.

Let's keep hope alive, baby.

Come on, baby.

Let's do it for Black love.

Look, these are folks in St. Jo's.

They need something to believe in.

Baby, baby, I ain't even going to be that long.

Just give me 10 minutes, all right?

I ain't got nothing to prove.

Like, hell you don't.

20, 10, 10, and you better not make me late.

20.

Come on here.

After Councilwoman Bordelon's successful budget maneuver this

summer to delay movement on the incoming highway,

all eyes in the local area are focused here at the St.

Josephine courthouse today, where a closed-door

proceeding will take place.

Hey, mom.

Micah.

Hey.

Hey, I've been calling you.

I know.

I know.

I'm sorry I didn't make it over for dinner last night.

I know you're busy.

Thank you for trying though.

I'm actually not going to make it today either.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I understand.

Of course.

You are busy.

So busy.

You wouldn't believe it.

It's just I haven't seen you in almost two months.

I thought with you being so close.

I mean, you might as well have gone to Harvard.

Micah, we've got to go.

Ma, I got to go. I got to go.

I'll call you later, all right?

Good luck with the big day.

There are currently 58,106 active cases

of corona virus in China.

Well, thank you for that update.

I've got a new tune that will hopefully lighten the mood.

Check it out.

I know that you don't like losing.

There she go.

Hi.

Hey.

You're beautiful.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey.

Hi.

Good luck, Charley.

- I like. - Thank you.

Yeah.

Well, let's do this.

Frances Boudreaux, would you like

to address the court before your sentence is handed down?

Yes, I would.

Despite the so-called evidence presented against me,

I maintain that I am innocent of the charges

for which I stand accused.

You are not accused, Mrs. Boudreaux.

You have been tried and convicted

of a conspiracy to commit arson against the Queen Sugar mill.
