Okay.

If anybody can maneuver, it's your mom, okay?

Um, what 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.

You gotta use the hook. That's what it's there for.

Shipyard workers at Blom and Voss gather for a ceremony,

celebrating the company's new 295-foot vessel.

Heil!

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.

- -

- -

An unexpected treat. You're early.

- I'm a surprise. - That you are.

- - A handsome one.

- -

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.

- Yeah, goodbye. - Thank you, Isabel.

- - Earpiece.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

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

Thank you.

- Isabel. Isabel. Hey. - Amari!

- - I didn't know you were speaking.

Oh, no, 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 speaker.

Yeah, well, you're a better writer than most people do anything.

- - So, listen.

I was gonna reach out to you on something.

Uh, so, I'm gonna take seeing you as a sign.

- This... 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. Well, it's being released. Slowly.

But we got him.

Are you interested in listening to consider writing something for us?

Amari, you have a stable of writers.

They don't have Pulitzer Prizes.

- Some of them do, actually. -

Yeah, well, then they're not as brilliant as you on things like this.

You know what I do.

Yeah, and I know what you used to do.

Some of the best reporting I've ever edited.

I write books now.

So, that one book you wrote took way too damn long.

It was a masterpiece and whatnot, but... it took too long, Isabel.

If you ask me, writers write.

So, write.

I don't do assignments anymore. I...

I want to be in the story, really inside the story.

Mm-hmm.

And yes, that takes time.

Okay.

Maybe after you hear the tapes, I'm gonna send them to you.

- Okay. - Okay, no... no pressure.
