Violet: Previously on "Queen Sugar"...

Nova: I'm worried about him.
He's not talking.


Did you know Micah wet himself
the night the police took him?

I need to be
in St. Jo's with you.

You matter most.

- Man: Let's get it and get out of here.
- Man # : Let's go! Hurry up!

Henry Lee: He sent me
to join the collective


so he could see
what y'all was doing.

If you come after one of us
again, you come after all of us.

- Is that a thr*at?
- Yeah, it is.

I'm no lawyer, but it should
stand up in court as a will.

- My sisters won't sue me. - You sure?

(music playing)

Micah! Let's go!

Breakfast is ready.

Breakfast mean
eggs and bacon?

Don't act like
you don't like these.

- (chuckles)
- (door opens)

- Right?
- It's good.

- Mm-hmm.
- Darla: Good morning.

- That what I think it is?
- Yep.

I mended some
of your clothes for you.

Thanks, but I meant
the other thing.

Blue, come see
your surprise!

- Do you need help? Are you good?
- No, I'm good, thanks.

- Where's Blue?
- He was still in bed

when I got in the shower
but gone when I got out.

Maybe he's hiding somewhere
with my calculus binder.

- You can't find it?
- No.

I think I may have
left it at Dad's.

Or maybe
it's at Aunt Vi's.

I know things have been
tough lately,

but I put a deposit down
on that rental that we liked.

It'll be ours in two weeks, promise.

Me and Kenya
decorated it for you.

I told you to stay
out of my stuff.

We're late.
Let's go. Come on.

- What's this?
- See if you can guess

what fun thing
we're doing today.

- Fishy toy.
- Mm-hmm.

- (gasps)
- Both: Swimming!

- Bye, Pop. Let's go.
- Bye.

- Bye, Pop.
- Bye.

We don't have enough time to waste!

Okay, okay, okay.

(grunts)

- (wrench squeaks)
- What you doing down there?

- (music playing)
- Hopefully fixing this disposal.

Can you turn on the water?
Hit the switch.

- (water rushes)
- (disposal whirs)


(both chuckle)

Hopefully,
like there was a doubt.

Never know.
Could be losing my touch.

So, what's next?

Mm. Mwah.

No, no, no. What's next
on the "honey do" list?

Nothing.
You're done.

What you mean done?

I mean you've been here
three weeks now,

and the house is perfect.

No, no.
I never finish that list.

You must be forgetting
something.

Normally, you go back
to the rigs,

and then the list grows
while you're gone.

So what do I do now? Just sit
around waiting for stuff to break?

Some people
call that "relaxing."

- You should try it.
- (sighs)

What, baby?
You don't know how?

Here's how.

You take your behind
and you sit it

on that seat out there.

You put your feet
up on the table,

and you watch that TV.

And... oh, hold on.

You drink this.

For how long?

Until I come home
from work, and then we...

I know
what we do then.

That's right.

(both chuckle)

Rest up.

- Hi.
- Ma'am, sign.

Thank you.

The control panel
is that way.

- You'll need hats.
- Man: Yes, ma'am.

They're setting up our eye
in the sky... one room

where we'll monitor
all the parts of the process,

which means we'll be able to
locate and fix problems quickly.

Add that upgrade to our
short-retention clarifiers,

which process in minutes
instead of three hours,

and our new spectrometers
which analyze


cane sucrose levels
in less than a minute.

And I hope I've been clear...
our focus is on efficiency.

Well, your daddy used to say
farming is waiting

and waiting is farming.

- (men chuckle)
- That's true, Mr. Webb.

But my motto for the mill
is another old saw...

time is money.

I keep my costs down,
those savings go to you.

These fancy machines
are only as good

as the people
that run them.

You don't have any experience with that.

True, but Remy here
has helped me recruit

Joe Rodriguez
as operations manager.


Joe has over years
of milling under his belt,

and he's even consulted
in the development


of some of those
fancy machines.

So you've seen
for yourselves

how well the renovations
are going.

Come harvest, this mill will be
more than ready for business.

I hope I have convinced you
to give me yours.

That's very impressive,
young lady.

Thank you.

- Hope to get your business.
- Thank you...

Thank you so much.
Thanks again.

Man: Nova Bordelon, we meet at last.

Mr. McDonald.
Welcome to the "Daily News."

Steve, please.

Uh, sorry.

Just getting settled in.

Been reading a lot more
than decorating.

Read your bail piece.

It's tough, solid.
Great work.

Thank you.

That said, I'd like
to put a pin in it.

The story's important.

No one writes about social
and criminal justice

as in depth
as this paper does.

As I do.

(sighs)

I agree,
and I fully support

your series
on mass incarceration.


I just want you to cast
your net a little wider.

You know, help us balance
the coverage of the issues.

I can tell you, Steve, it's
hard to find balance in NoLa.

A lot is broken
around here.

Yeah,
but not everything.

And our readers wanna
see what's working.

So we're also gonna
profile areas of success,

like diversion,
re-entry programs.

Due respect,
you just got here.

You know what
our readers want?

I know newspapers have gone out
of business the last years.

And we could be next if our readers
go looking elsewhere for good news


because we only write
about problems,

not solutions.

Just give my plan
a sh*t, Nova.

We can do
great things together.

Free for lunch?

Absolutely.

We can celebrate
the contracts

that Byron Webb
and Cardale Stewart signed.

That's , acres
of cane between them.

I know.

And you
brought them in,

which is why
I'm buying.

Thank you.
(chuckles)

What do you see here?

Cobwebs?

(laughs)

Possibility.

Queen Sugar will be
a major brand someday.

This could be
a flagship retail space.

(cell phone chiming)

Hold on.

Hi, Nadine.

Am I getting
the keys early?

Uh-huh.

Yeah, yeah,
I can do that.

Okay, thanks.

- Unbelievable. (scoffs)
- Hmm?

I found
the perfect rental,

and the current tenant
just decided not to move out.

My rental agent wants to show
me another listing right now.

All right.
Raincheck, then?

Unless you want
to take a look at it

and we can grab
a bite after?

I mean, you seem to be pretty
good with second opinions.

Already?

I'll see y'all soon.

Soybean seed
set aside for us.

- (chuckles)
- Mm-hmm.

You know what?

I'm trying to plant them
in the ground today.

- That don't look right.
- (flies buzzing)

What's wrong?

(flies buzzing)

That whitefly?

(sighs)

Upstairs has four bedrooms,
each with its own bath.

Wait until you see
the master.

And this is
the reading salon.

Has plenty
of natural light,


but it feels like
a private oasis in the home.


It's lovely.

Nadine: And there's a home theater.

- (cell phone chiming)
- Oh, sorry, excuse me.

Hey, what's up?

We got a big problem.
You see that?

Ew, wait, what...
what is that?

Whitefly.

Might not k*ll the cane,
but could make it worthless.

How much of the crop
is affected?

About acres.

- I'm ready to start scrubbing now.
- Charley: Scrubbing?

Yeah, cleaning and removing
the contaminated leaves.

Well, how... how long
will that take?

Enough people, a day.

Be faster to do
an aerial application.

It's fast,
but it ain't cheap.

How not cheap?

At least five grand.

My FSA check
came in today.

No, no, that money
is for you, for the soybeans.

I'm paying for the spray.

Thanks.

Make it happen,
Prosper.

- All right.
- Yeah.

- (baby cooing)
- (singing in foreign language)

May you never be thirsty.

May no enemy
slow your growth.

May your life not be ordinary
but fulfilled with flavor,

happiness, and substance.

Like salt, you will
preserve all that is good.

May you live a long,
sweet, and happy life.

May these blankets...

warm...

and protect you...

as you were warm and protected
in your mother's belly.

Sierra:
Look at you.

You know
you're a natural.

Even with
your daddy passing,


you don't wanna have
a family of your own?

I got Rah, Charley,
Aunt Vi, my nephews,

and a great big community
of brothers and sisters

I fight alongside
every day.

That's all the family
I want

and all the family
I ever need.

Meanwhile, there's plenty
of work to keep me busy.

Mm, and how is
saving the world going?

When am I gonna read your next
b*mb piece, Miss Ida B. Wells?

- (groans)
- What?

I don't think my new editor and I agree

about what stories
to cover.

He k*lled my piece
on bail bonds

after he told me
how great he thinks I am.

Well, then tell him you quit
unless he runs it.

And what if he calls
my bluff?

I lose my paycheck
and my platform.

So, what are you gonna do?

Only thing I can do.

Go along to get along
till I finally win him over.



(plane buzzing)

Look at that!

Pop!

What is that?

Sugar's so sweet,
it's already attracting flies.

We gotta get rid
of them.

- I want Kenya to see it.
- All right, go get her.

- How was it?
- It was good.

- Crowded.
- (chuckles)

Did you know
that Blue can't swim?

I can barely swim myself.

I mean, just enough
to jump off my daddy's boat.

Why? You swim?

Mm-hmm.

I was named all-state
junior and senior year.

- Damn.
- You should be impressed.

I didn't know
you did all that.

(chuckles)

(sighs)

I saw a flyer for swimming
classes at the pool.

I think it'd be
good for Blue.

How much that cost?

I could pay for the lessons
out of my paycheck.

I told you,
I don't want you doing it.

(sighs)
But it'd help.

I appreciate it.

(music playing)

If this doesn't work,
I'm about to lose

$ / million
worth of cane.

How's that factor
into your decision

about the house
on Chesley?

I could I'll swing it.
That place is almost perfect.

I don't love the fixtures
in the guest bath, but...

It's just you
and Micah.

You'll probably never even be
in that guest bathroom.

Listen, your rent money
is better spent around here.

But there is closer to Micah's
school and classmates.

And, yes,
it's a lot of house,

but after everything
he's been through,

he needs
some normalcy.

Your normal sure is
different from mine.

You say that
like it's a bad thing.

Charley, you're asking
farmers to take a risk

by grinding
at your mill.

What do you think they're
gonna think when they see you

living large right down the
street from the Landrys?

That I have worked hard to get here,
that I'm doing right by my son.

Mm-mm, that you believe that you can't
do right by your son right here.

- No, that is not fair.
- Now, you say that your mill

is a way to uplift
the community?

You want to lead
the people,

baby, you gotta show
that you love the people.

Fair or not, that's what's always
been required in black role models.

Being a role model
means living by example

and showing
that if you work hard,

you can enjoy
the fruits of your success.

What is so wrong
with black success

looking like
white success?

Why does white
have to be the model

for our aspirations?

Okay, so waving
my black card

when I'm choosing
my home

means being okay
with having less?

Really?

There are plenty
of white people out there

trying to tell me
where and how to live.

I don't accept that
from them,

and I won't take it
from black people either.

- I'm not asking you to...
- Hey, you two, what's shakin'?

Hey, Wood!

- (laughs)
- Ah!

What you been up to
since you got back?

Well, you know,

a little bit of this,
a little bit of that.

- Hey, baby.
- We can't make breakfast

when the eggs don't get here till noon.

- All right.
- Man: I had engine trouble.

That's your problem and your
distributor's, not mine.

So we gonna have
to talk about discounts

to make up
for this next quarter.

Betty Ann!
Eggs are finally here.

Betty Ann:
Come on back.

Welcome, baby.
Go on, take a seat.

Somebody will be
right with you.


Um, ladies' bathrooms?
Nasty.

Supply closet.

You want me to do it?

Make me proud.

Hey, baby,
what you doing here?

You run out of beer?

No, just bored,
and I missed you.

Can't a man
come see his lady?

You can see her
all you want,

but I can't entertain you
while I'm working.

No problem.

Hello, Grandma.

(laughs)

I hear that Tonya
had a little baby boy.

Isaiah,
after my favorite verse.

"Those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.

- They will soar...
- Both: on wings like eagles.

They will run
and not grow weary.

They will walk
and not be faint."

Ah. Name like that,
he blessed for life.

Hope so, but we still
gonna christen him

day after tomorrow
just in case.

- Violet: No, that's right.
- (both laugh)


And actually, I was
hoping you could make

some pies
for the reception.

Oh, baby, I only do that for Juneteenth.

- Why not? I'll pay?
- No disrespect to Isaiah

or the Lord,
but this place here?

It do make me
grow weary.

Hollywood:
You know I can help.

Now look, I done seen you
bake pie a thousand times.

Just write down a list
of everything we need


and trust
I can handle the rest.

Oh, come on, Vi, how you gonna
turn down both these faces?

Well, it looks like
I'm not gonna get any peace

unless I say yes.

- Yes.
- (chuckles)

If we stop the whiteflies
from spreading,

but lose the infested
acres,

that's still %
of our yield gone.

We plant some of them soybeans,
we can make some of that back.

Your current
commodities report shows

that soybeans
are behind sugar.

- I'm also worried about the mill.
- Yah!

(Blue whimpering)

What the hell
is wrong with you, huh?!

Get off him!

- You okay, Blue?
- Get off of him.

Don't ever lay your hands
on my son again.

You take your hands
off of my son now!

I won't.
It was an accident.

(Blue crying)
Stop!


It's okay. Come on.
Shh, shh, shh.

- It's okay, buddy. It's okay.
- (sobbing)

Let's go to sleep.
Let's go to sleep.

- Can I sleep with you tonight?
- Absolutely.

- You okay?
- I'm fine.

I just wanna do
my homework.

Micah...

I'm sorry.
It was an accident.

Don't make it right.

Neither was what you did.

Micah's going through
a hard time.

I thought you of all people
would understand that.

What you mean
me of all people?

Come on, Rah.

He's been a wreck
since he got arrested.

I know you ain't saying
we had it the same.

His four hours in custody,
and my four years in prison?

No, of course not.
I... I'm just asking you to...

I'm asking you to understand
that it messed him up.

You and Davis
messed him up.

Micah even know any people
who ain't famous or kin?


(scoffs)

Micah's soft.

And it's your fault
raising him like that.

Your money don't make you
safe here, Charley.

It just make you forget
who you really are.

It's not all bad news.

I don't see
any live whitefly.

Oh, thank God.

But fungus could set in
if we don't wash these leaves.

Well, what do we use
for that?

Elbow grease.

So, all those acres
we sprayed,

we gotta clean them all
by hand now?

Yep. That's the only way.
I'm gonna go buy supplies.

All right, good.

I'm gonna call the collective,
see who can give us a hand.

All right.

(car door opens, closes)

- Hey, John...
- (engine starts)

(scoffs)
Don't worry about it.

Us field negroes
can deal without you.

(music playing)

Hey, my baby!
How was work?

It was, uh...

What is going on here?

I got a triple batch of dough
chilling in the refrigerator,

- and these strawberries are...
- No, baby!

You're gonna burn your mouth.
Here. Here, here, here, here.

Go, go, go, go.

Mm, mm, mm.

That's pretty good.

Honey, would you separate
the eggs for custard?

(cell phone chimes,
buzzing)


Ralph Angel
want me to come over.

Said there was a problem
with the sugarcane.

Well, if he's calling,
you should go.

Oh, no.
Are you sure?

'Cause I wanna stay here and
help for when Sheena comes.

Baby, go.
They need you more.

I'll come by
after I finish up here.

And recidivism
is down by %.

Every way you look
at the numbers,

we're keeping nonviolent
offenders out of jail.

The statistics
are definitely impressive.

But I wanna get
past the numbers,


talk about the people, the
participants and counselors

that make
the program work.

You can drop the act.

What act?

When's the last time
you didn't take our office,

the police,
the courts,


all of us out
to the whipping chair?

I'm tough,
but I'm fair.

Give me a success story
and I'll write it straight.

- You know me, Tara.
- I do know you.

So I know what happens
when I tell you

that the DOJ cut Diversion
funding by more than %.

Or are you so intent on scoring
points with your new boss

that you're giving the
administration a pass on that?

That's what I thought.

This is why no one else
from the office

will talk to you
on the record.

Thank you for your time.

Good luck with whatever
you're trying to do here.

(door opens, closes)

(beeps)

(cell phone ringing)

Hey, what's going on?

Dealing with
these damn whiteflies.

What about the spraying?

Still got a lot
of work to do.


Any chance
you can come by?

(sighs)
Um...

It's that bad?

(sighs)
Yeah.

I need you.

I'll figure it out.

Hi.

Didn't know I was paying you
to make personal phone calls.

I'm really sorry.

Um, there's kind of
a emergency.

Would it be okay
if I leave?

- I can find someone to cover.
- Emergency?

- Mm.
- Your kid?

No, he's, uh...
he's fine.

It's, um...
it's my boyfriend.

No.

You deal with your love life
after your shift ends.

Remy:
First step is washing.


This is dish soap,
vinegar, and water.

Nothing to be afraid of.

You spray it
and you scrub it.

Now, once the leaf
is clean,

then you wanna check
its health, okay?

If it's withered,
we wanna cut it.

We wanna put it
in a bag.

- Bag get full, we wanna seal it up...
- (car door closes)

...and run it to the truck for disposal.

- Mama!
- Baby!

Remy: And last but not
least, we set traps.


Thanks for coming.

Thank you for asking.

Blue, the traps.

All right,
yellow attracts the flies.

And the Vaseline
gets them stuck.

All right, grab your
equipment and fan out.


(chatter)

I can't thank you gentlemen
enough for coming out.

Yeah, well, Ernest
was always there for me.

We do for each other
or not at all.

Of course,
we had a bet

whether you'd be out here
ruining your manicure.

- You owe me bucks.
- (laughs)

(mouths words)

(clears throat)

Whoo.

- (door closes)
- (clears throat)

(laughs)

Is this is okay
for you?

Or you got even fancier
stuff in the fridge?

Give me that water.

(laughs)

Let me ask you
something.

You still think
I'm a bougie bitch?

Charley,
I don't think that.

- We was just disagreeing.
- I know.

But it came
from somewhere.

And where is this
coming from now?

A bunch of stuff.

That bet between
the farmers.

Stuff Remy said.
Stuff Rah said.

You letting Rah
get to you?

You don't know
the half of it.

You know he had Micah
up against the wall last night?

- What?
- You believe that?

Y'all too close
for comfort around here.

You and Micah are more than
welcome to come and stay with me.

I appreciate that,

but this house is ours
as much as is his.

I'm not gonna let him
run me off.

Now I know you not
a bougie bitch.

That's a straight-up
hood attitude right there.

Man: I'll bring it up right here.

Violet: Ah, looks like
you could use a break.


I made some
extra apple pie.

Come on in and get
yourself a piece.

I'll eat when we done.

Ralph Angel, I am trying
to be uplifting here.

- Thank you, Aunt Vi.
- Hey, baby.

How much more
y'all got to do?

We just finished the first...

Be out here at least
another three hours.

Excuse me.

I thought y'all
been getting along.

Yeah, well...
she always say something

to let you know she a whole
lot better than you.

And I'm doing her
a favor.


She staying in my house
on my farm.

She has a right, Ralph Angel.
It's her farm, too.

Your daddy
made that clear.


Yeah, he made it clear,
all right.

What is going on
with you?

I found a letter
a couple of months back,

a letter Pops left to me.

A letter?

All this?

He said he left it
to me and Blue.

And Charley
don't even know.

I wasn't ready
to tell anybody before.

But now I want Charley to know
so she'll get up out my face.

Oh, Ralph Angel.

You don't want this.

Trust me, this can hurt
y'all up something bad,

something you can't
come back from.

You want me
to hold on to it?

For how long?

I expect you're gonna do
what you wanna do.

But I'm telling you
right now,

you can let your mouth
and your pride

write that check
if you wanna,

but you best be ready
to cash it, you hear me?

Yes, ma'am.

- Hey, kiddo.
- Hey.

How was Econ Club?

Not as exciting
as what went on here all day.

You heard
about that, huh?

Yeah, Aunt Vi posted a bunch
of pictures on Facebook.

What you looking at?

How would you feel
about staying

closer to the mill
and the farm?

I mean, we won't exactly find
what we're used to, but...

That's fine.

I mean,
I know we won't.

Nothing here
is like back home.

I know.

And I'm gonna find someone to help
us talk about all that, okay?

- (knock on door)
- I'll get it.

Mom?

Yes?
Can I help you?

We're looking for
Ralph Angel Bordelon.

That you?

- (police radio chatter)
- (clears throat)

I'm Ralph Angel.

What's this about?

Parole violation.

(police radio chatter)

What you mean
I violated my parole?

We received a complaint
about g*nshots

- coming from this property.
- What?

Do you have any weapons
on this premises?

I do.

Well, my father did,

and he left it to me.

I've been staying
with my brother.

- Here?
- Yeah.

You fired it?

Yep.

Unfortunately,
it's still a violation

to be in the house
with a w*apon.

I didn't even know
it was here.

Charley: And I didn't
know it was a problem.


I'm moving out tomorrow
to my own place,

so it'll be gone anyway.

It's not that simple,
Mrs. West.

I understand.

You know,
this whole move from LA

has been
a little challenging.

I mean, I'm just not
used to snakes and rats

and everything else
out there

that rustles around
when I'm trying to sleep.

You know, I honestly don't
even know how you all do it.

Well, you just be sure
you take it with you.

- You folks have a good night.
- Mm.

Guess I better
start packing.

You going back
to Aunt Vi's?

I'll figure
something out.

Charley...

Thanks.

No matter
what you think of me, Rah,

I will always
have your back.

(distant train horn
blaring)


(sighs)

(chuckles)

I remember
when you was born.

You about as much younger
as me as I am from Nova,

so I thought you were kind
of like a little brother.

(chuckles)

Except for Charley never
really brought you around


and I never made
my way to Cali, so...

I don't know
how you grew up.

But I know it's way
different from Louisiana.

Hey.

All I'm saying is...

I been through some sh*t.

For real.

So, you ever need someone to
talk to now that you're here,

I'm about it.

I got you.
All right?


Yeah.

I'm sorry I hit Blue.

Tell him.

Thing is, man,
being inside...

it's normal for folks
to act like animals.

Hell, they practically
force us to.

But out here?

We human.

Can't never forget that.

I'm sorry
I put my hands on you.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

Get some rest.

(door opens, closes)

(music playing)

I'm sorry I made such a
mess in your kitchen

- that you sent me out...
- (both laughing)

...to do backbreaking work
just to get rid of me.

You fool.

Maybe I ain't all that.
Sorry.

It felt good to do an honest
day's worth of labor.

You know, I think I might go
out and try to find a job.

You're just restless,
baby, that's all.

sh**t, you busted
your rump for years.

You got money in the bank,
more on the way, so...

take some time.

Don't rush
into something else.


Baby, I like working.

I know.
I do, too.


But they got us thinking

that we're supposed
to work until we die.

And if we don't,
we the problem.

Well, that ain't
my American dream.

Is that yours?

Nah.

Do you know
what my dream is?

This.

Waking up beside you
every morning,

going to bed beside you
every night.

How we fill in
the rest of the time,

it really don't matter.

Of course it does.

What, and you think you ain't wasting
your time at the High Yellow?

I see the look on your face
when you running around.

That ain't
the look of love.

It's the look
of determination.

I worked my butt off
for that promotion.

I know you did.

But I always see you
at your most happiest

when you
in your kitchen.

So tell me, what does
your dream look like?

What does it look like?

I guess it...

it looks like...

me making people happy
with my food...

my pies.

I... guess it's me
having my own business.

You saying that
like it can't happen.

Look...

let me figure out
what to do next.

But I want you to figure
out the same thing.

We ain't too old
to get ours, baby.

We ain't.

I didn't touch
anything.

That's okay.

Um, I wanted to thank you
for sharing your room with me.

Look, I'm sorry I hit you.

It was an accident,
but that doesn't make it okay.


I just want you to know that
I will never hurt you again.

I'm sorry, too.

I didn't ask you
if you wanted to play.

You never have
to ask with me, ever.

Ooh, I got you something.

(gasps)

For you and Kenya.

Now you can make
a masterpiece.

(music playing)

(squealing)

(chatter)

Charley, did you leave
anything in the store?

Well, we basically came here
with the clothes on our backs.

Takes more than that
to make a home.

Well, whatever you have
back in storage in Los Angeles,

I don't think any of it's
gonna work in here.

(Remy chuckles)
She's right.


I don't see
a home theater.

You sure about
living at the mill?

Well, you can't get much closer to
the community than this, right?

(chatter)

What's this?

Grandma got that
on a trip to Egypt.

Gave it to me
when I left for college.


It's sort of
a good luck charm.

Think it works?

Baby, if you're uncomfortable
with this, just say the word.

I can always undo
a crazy last-minute decision.

No, I'm tired
of moving around.

Besides, it'll be fun
to watch you rough it.

Anybody wanna bet
how long it'll be

before Mom decides
to move out?

- Four days.
- Two months.

- A couple hours.
- Violet: Y'all give Charley a break.

And the answer is
she won't last

through the first week
of harvest.

- (laughter)
- Violet: It's okay, baby,

because you're always
welcome home.

(kisses)
I'll just tell Hollywood

he has to remember
to put on his drawers.

Okay.

(laughter)

I'm glad you and Charley made up.

- She told you about what happened?
- Enough.

She thinks it was the Boudreauxs
called the cops on you.

She probably right.

They're dangerous,
Ralph Angel.

You gotta be
more careful.

It was nice seeing
Darla yesterday.

- Mm.
- She good for you, little brother.

Tell me something
I don't know.

- Oh, heard.
- Mm-hmm!

Your final paycheck.

What?

I specifically told you
not to leave,

and you did anyway.

You're fired,
effective immediately.

This job is part
of my recovery.

Please give me another chance.
I will stay late.

I will pick up
more shifts.

Please.

Part of recovery is also being
accountable for your actions.

You made a decision.
These are the consequences.

Now leave the premises

or I'll call security
and have them escort you out.
