I was standing
By my window
- No, no. No!
- sh*t!
Hi, honey.
- Where
the hell are you?
- I know, I know.
Traffic's crazy.
Hmm, I've been gridlocked
for the past hour, babe.
Some like accident or
wreck or something.
Oh, my god. Is that a body?
- We're
gonna miss the flight.
- Okay. I'm going as
fast as I can, babe.
It's not my fault you booked
the flight last minute.
- It leaves in an
hour and a half, Mariah.
- Okay, well, what
do you want me to do?
Oh, I already prayed
to the traffic gods.
- I know
you were passed out
when I left this morning.
I saw you just,
just get here
or we're gonna be late.
- I love you too.
Um-hmm.
- Hey, hey, hey. Just let it
out, let it out, let it out.
It's only four
o'clock, Mariah.
You can't keep this up.
I, I said I'd take you to--
- I'm fine, okay. Jesus.
I had one too many
c*ck at the airport.
It's not my fault the
flight was delayed.
- Smelt it on you
when you picked me up.
Drinking isn't
the solution here.
It's gonna take both of us
and if one of us isn't willing
to put in the effort--
- I know what Dr. Morris
said, okay. I was there.
- I'm gonna drive.
- Hey,
I forgot to
mention earlier.
Um,
I saw that you put
the picture back up.
- Is, is that okay?
Me saying sorry will never be
good enough for you, will it?
It won't bring him back, Mariah.
- You lost?
Didn't mean to spook you folk.
- I'm not sure why your
hand's in my car window then.
- Mariah.
- I'm happy
to help you find your way.
- I'm sorry ma'am,
but, uh, what makes
you think we're lost?
- Just haven't seen
you around here.
Wanted to make sure y'all
know where you're going.
- Uh, we're good.
Just a quick rest stop.
Thank you so much for
your concern, though.
Um, we'll be on our way shortly.
- Hmm, y'all have
a good day now.
- You too.
- You too?
- What?
...My mother away
All right.
Great.
First time meeting
Caleb's girlfriend
and we're already late.
By and by Lord
Oh, by and by
There's a better
Home awaiting
In the sky, Lord
Oh, in the sky
Well I went back
To my home but it was lonely
For my mother
Well, she was gone
And all my family
- Wait, wait, wait. Hold on.
So you're telling
me we're staying
in the same cottages that
the sl*ves stayed in?
I thought we were staying
in actual Airbnbs, guys.
- They're kind of like
Airbnbs, but more historical.
- And free.
- Free?
- Yeah. Anna had the hookup.
Being a local, family
knows everybody.
I guess somebody that
works with her father
runs the plantation houses
and the sl*ve cottages now.
Which, wow, now that I say that
isn't surprising whatsoever.
- Hey, my daddy and uncle are
groundskeepers that's all.
So yes, they know the owners.
Oh, and when Caleb did
that whole 32andMe thingy
and found out that his
ancestors were sl*ves,
we did a deep dive.
Lo and behold, his great-aunt
and great-grandmother
worked the very same
plantation my daddy now works.
What are the odds of that?
- Okay, wait.
So you're saying
that your daddy works
at the same plantation
that Caleb's ancestors
were enslaved on?
- Yeah.
- What can I say?
We're dysfunctional.
- Mwah.
- Uh, okay.
No, uh, but seriously
seeing all the things
that's happening to
our people right now,
you know people gunned down
in the streets by police
who are supposed to protect us.
You know it, scared me.
It really is scary
and just wanted to know what
my ancestors went through
and I thought it might
make me stronger.
- You are so strong, baby.
But it's gonna be an
adventure, trust me.
It's gonna be really fun.
Maybe we'll make some
new friends.
My daddy says, the people
out there are just lovely.
- We're closing in an
hour, y'all.
- Like I said, good old
Southern hospitality.
Ain't nobody in here anyway.
Like, what the f*ck
is her problem?
- Jesus.
- All right, check.
So, we're gonna be hiking from
here all the way down here.
Um...
- That is the Frogmore
Plantation sl*ve cottages,
Evermore Plantation cottages
and our final stop,
Destrehan Plantation.
That's where Caleb's
ancestors were housed.
- Housed?
- Then I think
we can just order a
cab back from there.
You all would drive
back to the city.
Oh, the views along the way
are supposed to be gorgeous.
Should be good fun all around.
- Hmm, sounds fun.
Well, I'm gonna get
another one. Anyone else?
- Hell, yeah.
- I don't think I can.
I'll be useless tomorrow
if I go past three.
- Actually, yeah. I mean why
don't we all just head to bed?
I mean, we got an
early morning tomorrow.
- Oh, boo.
- Oh, come on, Charles.
You don't wanna embarrass me
in front of my Creole ancestors.
I mean, do you see how
they drink around here?
Don't wanna fall behind. We'll
look like tourists, babe.
- Mariah.
- Stella.
- Hey!
- What the f*ck Charles?
- You've had, you've had enough.
- Charles, it's okay, man.
Why don't we just try and have
a good time, all right, bud?
- Right. Yeah, I'm going to bed.
- What? Come on, dude.
- It's, it's fine.
I just, you know, I wanna
be well rested for tomorrow.
- Charles,
come on, man. Charles!
- Sorry, y'all.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- You poor thing.
- Oh, how about that
other round then?
- No, I really
don't think I can.
I'm honestly getting
a little tired myself.
I think I might
go off to bed too.
- What?
- I know I'm a wimp.
Why don't you two have another?
- Um, you sure about that?
- Really. You two
have fun, okay.
- Okay.
- Oh, poor baby.
It was so lovely to
meet you, Mariah.
- You too, Anna.
She really trying to
be woke ain't she?
Please. Uh, oh, I
know another one.
"Cruel Intentions",
that l*sbian part.
- Um, all right. I mean, come on
it's a classic all right.
- Hmm.
- I think I remember
us watching that when, uh,
you and Charles had
that fight in biochem.
Remember?
- That was so dramatic
for no reason.
And you were so good that
night. I needed a friend.
I was standing...
- So.
- She sure is something,
isn't she?
- Hmm, oh yeah,
she is something, isn't she?
Well, and she's nice though.
I'm happy for you.
When I saw a hearse...
- Yeah, uh, you know it's funny
because I usually prefer my
women like I like my coffee
Black with a, a little
cream mixed in it.
Oh, but seriously, I'm
uh, I'm glad you came.
This has been fun.
By and by Lord
I missed you.
Oh, by and by
- I missed you too.
There's a better
Home awaiting
- Hey, hey, hey. You okay,
you okay?
Mariah, Mariah, Mariah, Mariah?
Mariah, Mariah, Mariah, Mariah?
- Uh, f*ck.
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm sorry.
Oh, man.
I am, I am drunk.
Really drunk, apparently.
It's just,
um, that song it,
it reminds me of, um.
Will the circle be unbroken
- Hey, hey, hey. Sorry, okay.
- It's okay. Really, it's fine.
But thank you, though.
- Yeah, sure.
- Um, yeah. I, I should
be going to bed too.
- Yeah, me too.
- On the house.
- Wow, right.
Well, uh, thank you?
- So glad you made it.
- Hmm.
- Well, it's always
a pleasant sight to
have new visitors.
I mean, new friends.
I'm sure you'll find
this part of the
country most welcoming.
So what brings y'all
down to the Big Easy?
- Um, just vacationing.
Trying to experience
the culture, I guess.
Rediscovering is a better
way to put it, I guess.
- Yeah we uh, you know, just
gonna stay for a few days
and, you know,
probably just, um...
- Hey, uh, your, your nose is...
- Oh, I, oh,
pardon me, I...
Oh, oh.
Well enjoy your time here.
I do hope you find
what you're looking
for at the plantations.
They're such beautiful homes,
so much gray history.
- How does she know we're
staying at the plantations?
- I don't know. Maybe she
just overheard us talking.
I mean, it's not like
we're being quiet.
Ain't nobody in this
m*therf*cker anyway.
Can't embarrass
ourselves, right? Cheers.
For to carry my mother away
- Classic Caleb. Messy a*s.
By and by Lord
- So, now what?
There's a better
Home awaiting
- Oh my god.
- Hey,
need to get going.
- One more hour.
- We're gonna be late.
- All right. All right.
Give me a minute.
f*ck.
- It's kinda hot.
- Let's go.
- Hey, are you okay?
- Uh, yeah. Just checking out
that weird web right there.
- There's a lot
of weird sh*t out here.
Sure you're okay?
- Yeah,
- Let's keep going.
- Yeah, of course,
- My daddy got us a
really good discount.
- Oh?
- Yeah.
- Will we be
able to meet them all or?
I'd love to thank them.
- Well, I'm just so excited
for daddy to meet Caleb
at the Destrehan Plantation.
I just know Caleb's gonna
feel so connected there.
- Hey, wait up.
- Hey, everything all right?
- Look.
- Geez. Hello, creeps.
- Why are they staring at us?
- Hey.
- What are you doing?
- Can we help you?
Hello? Hmm, not the
talkative types.
- Yo! You guys all right?
- Okay, well I guess there
are two universal truths
in this world, death and
the persistent talent
of men making women
feel uncomfortable
no matter where
we go.
It's a gift, truly.
Gosh, it's so beautiful.
So much tradition.
Ah, well don't you just
adore these houses?
- Looks like every Black
person's nightmare to me, but--
- Oh, come on, C.
- How do we check in?
- Well, it didn't actually
say on the booking site,
but my daddy did
say that, usually,
there'd be an attendant
to get you the key
or whatever was needed.
Wait, C.
- What? I
mean, it was open.
- Hello?
Uh, anyone here?
We're trying to check in.
- Yeah, some people
here, all right.
- f*cking White people, dude.
- Wow, I always wanted
one of these as a kid.
- Where is everyone?
I thought this was
a museum that paid.
- Oh, look
at the little dolls.
They kinda look like you.
- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine.
- These
are f*cking creepy.
- Oh!
- Jesus f*cking Christ!
I, I-I thought you
were a mannequin.
- She
doesn't talk much.
One of our many
great re-enactors
here at the Plantation.
sl*ve Revolt of 1811.
News of the recent revolution
in Haiti spread quickly.
So on January 8, 1811,
Charles Deslondes
a sl*ve of the nearby
Deslondes Plantation,
led a revolt that spread
through the parish.
On January 9, 1811, the
revolt was extinguished.
Will you be staying at any
of the other plantations?
The children are just so
important, aren't they?
The mistresses made it their
mission to keep them well fed.
Became part of the
family in a way.
- Uh yeah, so this one
and a couple others
along the 20 mile swamp trek.
Not staying in any
of the main houses,
just the former housings
for the workforce.
Assuming that's how these
Airbnb type experiences work.
- sl*ves, Charles.
They were sl*ves.
- Right. I know--
- Lovely choices.
I think you'll find them
surprisingly accommodating.
And the people out here
are just wonderful.
I hope it doesn't get
too packed tonight.
It can get a little
tight in those cabins.
Oh, but I wouldn't
worry if I were you.
The people that come out
here are far more personable
than what you'd find in the
inner cities these days.
- Thank you, ma'am.
- I'll be around
if y'all need anything.
- What the f*ck?
- She's so cute.
- f*ck it.
- Thank you.
Mon petit,
forgetting something?
- Oh, right.
- Wait, so did I
catch that right?
Other people could be
staying here with us?
I, I thought these were like,
turned into Airbnb properties.
- Not quite, but
I believe this is it.
- Not quite?
- Well, they're more
like open campgrounds.
You know, anyone could just
come and go as they please.
My daddy says that
they're trying
to build community engagement
and get people interested
in the history again
out here at these places.
Other than weddings,
it's hard to get much
good publicity out here.
- Hmm, I wonder why?
These former sl*ve
holdings are open to all,
to stay, to learn
and to reconnect.
You may come and go as you
please anytime you wish.
So please be courteous
and welcoming
to all guests you may encounter
on your stay here at
Frogmore Plantations.
- Thanks to the
patronage of Destrehan family.
Wow. Spacious.
I don't know why
anyone complained
about these places back then.
- I love this movie. It's
called "The Human Centipede".
I can't say the same
for Charles, obviously,
but basically it's
about this doctor
who makes a human
centipede out of people
by attaching their mouths
to the other person's an*s.
- Ew. No way.
- Yeah.
- What?
- Wow.
And you like that?
- I mean, I thought it
was pretty gnarly, actually.
That's, you know,
it's in the young days.
Young adolescent days, you know.
- Whoa.
- Charles, dude,
I know you gotta have some
cool hospital stories, bro.
- Uh, no, not really.
I mean I'm still
just a resident.
So uh, no, nothing interesting.
Pass me your bowl.
- Yeah.
Come on, Charles, dude.
I know you gotta have at
least one story. Come on.
Story, story.
- Story, story, story, story.
Well, uh,
I guess we have company.
- I'll get it. Bunch of babies.
It'll be fun. First
bayou buddies.
Hi.
- Well, how y'all doing?
- Well, we are doing
just fine, sir.
May I presume you'll
be joining us?
- Hi, Charles.
- Charles, this there thing.
That, that, that's a sad
sight there. Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
But you don't need a
fire. It's warm tonight.
You know these cottages,
they don't come with
all the amenities,
but they are what you
make 'em, you know?
Mm-hmm?
- Well, it was good enough
for my ancestors, so I'm
sure we'll be just fine.
- Pass the whiskey around, boys.
Let our guests feel some
true Southern hospitality.
- Oh, yeah. We got
cookies, cookies.
- Okay, I just...
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- All yours.
- It ain't Henny, but f*ck it.
- There you go.
Oh, baby.
- g*dd*mn.
- You okay, baby?
- That sh*t is strong.
- Pass it around.
Pass it around.
Plenty where that come from.
- Actually, I'll pass.
My mom said to never drink
a bottle from a stranger.
So thanks for the offer.
- Well, your mammy
was a smart woman.
- Excuse me?
- I said your mommy
was a smart woman.
- I love mommy.
- But it's bad luck to turn
good bourbon down around here.
- Good thing I don't
believe in superstition.
- Suit yourself then.
How about you, young lady?
- Ah, that's my girl.
- Well, well, well.
Let the night begin.
- Woo, woo.
I knew you'd have fun here.
- Yeah!
- That's some
good bourbon, ain't it?
- Uh, so uh, where are
you guys coming from?
- I guess you say,
uh, we come from here.
You know the swamp's
the only home we know.
- Hm.
- How about you?
- Who me? Uh, Atlanta.
- Right.
But where are you really from?
Um, sorry?
- So how do you
guys know each other again?
- He's my daddy.
- Yeah, we're just a
bunch of w*r buddies.
- Oh, that's, that's
interesting. Uh, which w*r?
- Civil w*r.
- Hmm, I know what
side he served on.
- Sir, yes, sir! Yes, sir!
Yes, sir!
- Don't mind
him. He gets lost sometimes.
You can't take the
soldier out of the man.
- My dad was in the army.
- And what's your job, boy?
- Well, I'm a web design
and marketing professional,
but you know, my
real passion is--
- Well, isn't that nice?
Why don't you sing for us then?
- Sing something, baby.
- Uh.
- Come on, boy.
Sing us a song.
- Uh.
- Sing.
- He's
clearly not a boy.
- Everyone's so
sensitive nowadays.
sh*t a boy, hell Lee.
Try and translate it.
- This is sh*t.
Can we f*cking go?
- Yeah, and how about
you, pretty lady?
- Me? I'm just studying.
- Uh-huh, and what you studying?
- African
American Lit.
- Aw, that's nice.
Pretty and smart.
- She's with me.
- Okay, calm down
there, young buck.
I'm just kidding ya.
Hm?
How long you two been married?
- How'd you know that?
- I could tell from the
weariness in your eyes.
You done some time there, boy.
Here's to you.
Come on, don't
give me that look.
Little hissy foot. I was
only kidding with ya.
You got yourself a nice,
beautiful, exotic woman.
- Exotic? What's that
supposed to mean?
- Oh-h*-h*, I'll be.
I didn't even see it.
Come on now. We need some music.
Let's hear some music.
- Well I wish I was in Dixie
Hooray, hooray
- Hooray, hooray
- Well I'll take my
stand in Dixie land
To live and die in
Dixie away, away
- You know what?
- I wish I was in Dixie
- When in Rome, right?
- Hooray, hooray, hooray
- I'll take my stand
in Dixie land
- Yeah, baby.
- You guys can't
seriously feel safe here.
What the f*ck? Are
you serious, guys?
I'm really uncomfortable
staying here.
I'm good. I'm going to bed.
- Mariah.
- No, I don't care.
- Hooray, hooray
I'll take my stand
in Dixie land
To live and die in
Dixie, away, away
Hooray, hooray
I'll take my stand
in Dixie land
Away, away
Away, away
- Go, baby.
- Charlie.
Charlie.
Caleb.
- I just want her
to help one time, one time.
It's finished, finished,
it's finished, finished.
I had many fears from the rest
of you wanting to help me.
- Hey.
- I did
everything she asked me.
- I'm sorry?
- I just
wanted her to help one time.
But it's finished.
It's finished
- I'm sorry.
Who is she?
- I did everything
she asked me.
- What?
- I had many fears from the rest
of you wanting to help me.
- I'm sorry.
Hey, hey. Hey, man,
you, you all right?
You kinda freaking
me out here? Hey.
Oh, my god!
- I, I did everything she asked.
All I wanted was
to play with it.
- Oh my god. Who,
who, who was she?
Are you okay?
- All I
ask...
She was, uh, she was, she was
always, always stabbing me,
so I have to.
- No, no, no, no. Oh, my god!
No-no-no-no. Oh,
my god.
- Charlie, wake up! Wake up!
Wake up. Wake up, Charlie!
Charlie, wake up!
Oh, my god! Charlie.
Charlie. Charlie.
Charlie.
- Momma?
Momma.
- Hello?
- Momma.
Hello?
Hello?
- Momma?
- Look who's up.
How you feeling, sweetheart?
- Where'd they go?
- Oh, Lee, Nathan and
Earl? You just missed 'em.
They just said their goodbyes.
They are such lovely people.
- Okay, well what
about the other one?
- What other one?
- There was four of them.
- There were?
- Dawg, how much
did we have to drink last night?
- Yeah, I woke up and I saw it.
He took the knife to his
tongue and he cut it out.
- What?
- And he was like crying
and he, he was f*cking panicking
and he was having a meltdown.
- Oh my God. I
can't believe this.
- Dawg, I want what she had.
- I think you had, uh,
too much to drink, dear.
All right.
- Yeah, that sh*t was strong.
- No, no. I swear, guys.
- I hardly remember
anything about last night,
now that I think of it.
- I had a f*cking blast, though.
Those backwoods freaks were
surprisingly a good time.
I mean I was a little
on edge coming here,
you know, thinking about
my ancestors and all.
But I judged the
book by its cover.
- Whoa, I don't
know if we should associate
books with those guys.
Gives them a little
too much credit.
Seriously?
Are you not listening to
anything I just f*cking said?
And do you not remember how
they were talking to you, Caleb?
- Jesus. Mariah, come on now.
It's only day two.
I know we're down
here to reconnect
and learn about Caleb's
and maybe your past,
so we're a little on edge.
But not everyone down
here is a r*cist.
- Oh, real sweet coming
from you, Charles.
Like, you'd know
one if you saw one.
- What's that supposed to mean?
- You didn't even
stand up for me
when that r*cist b*tch had her
hands near me in New Orleans.
- Oh my god, really?
She was just-
- Yo! Yo!
I didn't invite y'all down here
for a marriage counseling
session, Jesus.
I mean, can we soak
some of this in
without being
miserable all the time?
f*ck!
- You had too much to drink.
- I barely drank.
- Unbelievable.
- Mariah, maybe we just all had
a little too much
to drink last night.
These places are just getting
more and more popular.
I bet she was going
to one of them.
Just trying to help.
- Hey, y'all gonna be okay?
- Yeah.
- Hey, probably
just a really bad nightmare,
all right?
Yeah, that moonshine
was definitely some
tainted crap, though.
Look, it probably just hit
you the wrong way, okay?
You're fine, Mariah,
all right?
Very fine.
Look, it was a long
day yesterday, okay.
Give yourself a break.
Come on.
Wow, ah, you can really feel
the history at this one.
It's so crazy we're
staying in the same place
that our ancestors
were forced to live in.
Hey Charles, can I
get a light, man?
- What's that?
- Oh, I was just jotting
down feelings and thoughts,
you know about
being in this space.
You know what an honor
it is to be Black
and what a privilege it
is, you know, to be here.
How strong our
ancestors must've been
to go through this, man.
I'll take that back
with me when we leave.
Okay.
- Hey, how'd you know
these were back here?
- Her dad runs the
properties, remember?
Maintain 'em for like weddings
and sh*t, right, baby?
- Right.
- Come on.
Well, guess it's
not just us tonight.
Yo, you good man?
You good, bro?
Yo, why I feel you
people are f*cking crazy?
Can we help you find
something, my man?
- Are you okay, sir?
- Does he f*cking look okay?
- Yo, dude, you really
freaking us out.
Okay, I'm over this f*ck--
- New friends.
Hi, friends.
- Um, hi.
- I was just
flying. Did you see me?
- Nah, uh, I
don't think we did.
- Well, you
can fly too if you want.
I can show you.
You just have to remove
all your lamps.
- I, uh--
- Come on y'all.
Join little ole me by
the table.
- Um, so what's up with
your man over, here?
- Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's
just my brother Earl.
Don't mind him.
- So, uh, where are
you guys coming from?
- Oh, well, I've lived in
these swamps for years.
As long as I can remember.
Tending to the
garden and you know.
Okay,
so you tend the
grounds around here?
- Huh? Oh, y'all
haven't been there have you?
Oh, my lord. Oh,
you'll love it there.
And you would fit right in.
- Why is that?
- Oh, I think
the tea might be done.
Let me check.
- Okay, uh, what
you eating, my man?
- Hey, save some for
me. Don't eat it all.
You son of a...
Y'all want something to
eat? We have a fresh k*ll.
- A, a fresh k*ll?
- Hmm. Y'all look so scared.
What if I said it was
human? Would you freak out?
I'm kidding.
Geez, it's just a deer.
We shot it this
morning.
- Sissy.
- What?
- We're out.
I got, I was really hungry
and my tummy started
hurting, Sissy. I'm sorry.
- What?
- I finished it.
- Why did you
do that? We have guests.
- I'm sorry,
Sissy. I'm sorry.
I didn't mean nothing by it.
Please, Sissy.
Don't tell Daddy.
Please don't tell Daddy.
- Well, this is so embarrassing.
- That's, uh, that's okay.
We, we brought our own food.
- Right. Y'all
want some whiskey?
Earl, the whiskey.
- The whiskey.
-Oh, I'm good. Thank you.
But if that tea's
ready, I might...
- Um-hmm. Hm?
- You know what?
Yeah, I'll have some.
I'm sure my wife would
love some as well.
What? I'm right, aren't I?
- No thanks.
- Well, ah, this is fun.
I'm having fun. So...
Hey, do you mind if I ask
you a, a personal question?
- Me?
- Hmm.
- Sure.
- Promise you won't get upset.
- Oh, I can't promise you that.
- Please. Please.
- What's your question?
- I just wanted to ask.
How does it feel to,
you know?
- What?
- You lost
your child, right?
How does that feel?
Is it just unbearable?
- How do you...
Who told you that?
- Don't worry. These
cottages are safe spaces.
I mean, you can feel
whatever you need to in here.
- I'm gonna step out.
- I didn't mean to upset you.
- Where
you going, Mariah?
- I had to ask.
- Mariah!
- Oh, I'll go to her.
- That's okay, babe. I'll go.
- Sissy, I'll, I'll go.
- Hey, you okay?
- I'm fine.
- What the hell was that about?
She like a mind
reader or something?
Hey, hey. Hey, it's
gonna be okay, all right?
Trust me.
It's gonna be okay.
- What are we doing?
- I'm comforting.
- How is that comforting me?
- I'm, I'm sorry. I thought we--
- No, you shouldn't
have done that.
You don't feel like we
shouldn't have done that
with your best friend and your,
and your girlfriend
are in there?
- f*ck, I'm, I'm sorry.
I just, I thought,
M, I like you.
Okay, I really like you. M, I--
- We were drunk and, and,
and it was a mistake.
It shouldn't have
happened. Please stop.
I'm sorry. Charles
is being an as*h*le.
- Charles is at least
trying. He's trying, okay?
God, I gotta give him
that.
- Okay. I'm sorry.
Wait M, where you going?
- I just need to
be left have alone, okay.
I just, I wanna be alone.
- Wait, Mariah, I still
have to tell you I...
I love you.
f*ck.
- Get up!
- Get off me!
- Drink the tea!
- Get off me!
- Oh, just take a sip.
- Get off me!
Help me.
- Wake up.
- Get off, get off
get off, get off!
- Caleb. Anna.
- What time is it?
- What the hell, you guys.
- What? What?
- You guys all just
decided to get high
outta your f*cking
minds and not warn me?
- What are you talking about?
- You left me alone with
those f*cking psychos.
- Whoa. Wait, whoa.
What, what are
you talking about?
- You two were f*cking
all night long.
Charles, you just
lied there useless.
- Whoa. Whoa.
- We had sex
in front of everyone?
- What are you talking about?
- I had to listen to
you moaning all night.
- I wouldn't do that.
- I, I can't remember anything.
- You drank some f*cking tea.
There was something in it
and they tried to force
me to drink it too.
- Tea? I don't drink tea.
- What do you remember?
Charles?
- We should be heading
to the next cottage.
- What? No, we're done, okay.
We need to be going back.
- It's only a couple miles away.
- No, Charles, I don't
wanna do this anymore.
- We're just having fun, Mariah.
There's nothing to
be worried about.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
- No, we're not going to
the next f*cking plantation!
Those psychos drugged me.
They, they drugged you
guys and they attacked me.
- Mariah--
- Stop acting so paranoid,
Mariah.
- Charles, please.
- Get
your stuff together.
I wanna get there with
enough daylight left
so Caleb can properly
explore and reflect.
- Um, I don't know, man.
I think we should
head back, you know.
- What are
you so worried about?
- I mean, Christ, sounds like
you two had a great time.
- What's gotten into you?
- Wish Mariah
would do that for me.
- What's going on with you?
- What's going on
with me? I feel great.
If you'd just loosened up a
little, you'd feel great too.
I think, isn't that why
we all came out here,
to get away from our
responsibilities for once?
- No, I don't wanna run anymore.
I don't wanna not be present.
- Not present?
What are you trying
to say Mariah, huh?
Would you speak up?
I can't hear you, darling!
- If you had been present,
we might still be
f*cking parents!
- Oh, you need to relax.
We're on vacation.
Oh, whoa.
Will you look at that?
What a beautiful day.
What? Let's go, g*ng.
There's a better
Home awaiting
In the sky, Lord
- Gosh,
it's so beautiful.
So much tradition.
Don't you just
adore these houses?
- This is gorgeous.
- Destrehan Manor
has the distinction
of being the oldest
antebellum home
found along the
Mississippi River.
It was built in 1790 for the
wealthy French landowner,
Celeste de Logny and her
husband Jean Noel Destrehan.
Their daughters Zelia and Louise
ran the estate until
their untimely deaths.
- Ha, I mean, I don't get it.
How did you get your last name?
This your, uh,
great-great-great-grandparent's
place or something?
- Told you this
already, Charles.
- You know, I heard this was
actually one of the
better plantations.
- What, huh? Better?
- Yeah, apparently the sl*ves
here were treated very well.
So I'm told.
- Who told you that?
- Lee.
- Lee?
- Yeah, Lee.
Our friend.
- Uh, I, I think he
means one of the men
that stayed with us
that first night.
- Yeah, what, whatever. What
exactly is your point, Charles?
- Guys, look workers. I
wonder if they know my daddy.
- Friendly, huh?
- Guys, come on.
- Okay, come on, baby.
- Ugh.
- Can I help y'all?
- Well, yes actually, we
were looking for the Airbnbs.
Would you mind pointing
us in the right direction?
Okay, right. Okay,
well thank you anyway.
We'll just be going.
- It's nice to have you back.
- Sorry?
- You must think I've got the
greatest humor now.
I said it's nice
to have you back.
- You must have me mistaken.
- Oh, I'd never confuse
such a pretty face.
- Mariah! Come on.
Hey, you okay?
What the hell was that?
- Let me guess! We should
just go around back, right?
Assuming that's where the
cottages are. You know what?
I'm gonna ask the workers
where the Airbnb is myself.
'Cause I don't see
anything around here
that looks like a
f*cking Airbnb do you?
- Okay, well why don't you--
- Oh, I'm, I'm sorry.
God forbid we
trespassed this property
without knowing where
we're going, right?
Uh um, uh.
- Hello, Mariah.
- How do you know my name?
Right well, uh, we're hiking
through the trails to the bayou,
and, uh, I was
wondering if you knew
the owners of the property
or if you knew where they
were, if they're here?
Or do you know where the
Airbnbs or the cottages are?
It's a large property
and, and, and we don't, we--
- Pinga.
- I-I don't know
what that is.
Is that Creole?
I don't speak it.
Oh, okay. Okay, thank you.
- Woo-hoo, yeah!
- Come on, y'all.
Well, I guess this
must be it then.
- Look at this. What
the f*ck?
What the f*ck?
- Well, hey, at least we got
the place to ourselves tonight.
- Hey, if anyone else comes,
no drinking or
anything tonight, okay.
Let's take it easy.
- Yeah, agreed.
- Hey, Mariah.
I'm really sorry
about last night.
I don't know what got into us.
I truly don't remember anything.
- It's okay.
All right, I think I'm
gonna go to bed soon.
- Yeah, me too.
- What? You guys are so boring.
Come on. The night's young.
Let's have a drink.
Oh, I know I got something here.
- Nah, I think we're just
gonna take it easy, Charles.
- Easy, why? Easy's boring.
Go on.
All right, have it your way.
Doesn't need to stop Mariah
and I from having fun.
Isn't that right, wifey?
Really? Now that I
want to, you don't?
What, what, what?
I'm having fun.
Isn't this what you
always wanted?
- How did she know about Sam?
- Who?
- That girl last night.
How did she know about Sam?
Charlie.
Charles, please talk to me.
- Now, mm, now
she wants to talk.
- I, I-I know I
haven't been available.
I know I've been
distant, closed off.
But I need you right now.
We need you.
There's something
going on out there.
- There's nothing going
on out here, Mariah.
The people are, they're
nice. They're our friends.
- Nope, they're not.
They're especially not
me or Caleb's friends.
You haven't even seen
what they're doing
when you're asleep.
And those weird f*cking cries.
This isn't normal, guys.
Wake up.
- Mm, speaking of Caleb,
at least my old friend
here's having a good time.
He's getting all the
action.
How was my wife, Caleb?
How, how was she?
She hasn't sucked
my c*ck in ages.
Did she take it up
the a*s for you?
She never lets me get
near it. Such a prude.
- Wait, what?
- I, I don't know what
he's talking about.
Charles, what the f*ck
is wrong with you, dude?
- What is he talking about?
- Nothing, baby. He's, he's
just trying to start sh*t.
- Why did you say that?
- Mm.
- Charles, why did you say that?
- What, she doesn't,
she doesn't...
- Mariah.
- Baby, hey, he's, he's just
being a f*cking as*h*le.
Charles, yo, this sh*t
ain't funny, dude.
Hey, babe. Hey, hey, let's
just go to bed, all right?
First thing tomorrow
we're gonna call,
we'll go to some local
town, we'll call a Uber.
We'll get the first ride
back to New Orleans, okay?
All this sh*t'll be
over. Okay, come on.
- She doesn't, she
doesn't...
- Come on.
- She doesn't,
oh, she doesn't.
She doesn't, she doesn't.
- Come on, baby.
Come on.
Let's go to bed. Come on.
- Oh, f*ck.
f*ck. Geez,
she, probably never did.
She doesn't love me no more.
Probably never did.
Don't love me no more.
Probably never did.
- Charles.
- She doesn't...
She doesn't love me anymore.
Probably never did.
She doesn't love me anymore,
probably never did.
- Dad?
- Sammy.
Sammy.
- Dad.
- Sam's here.
Sammy.
- Dad.
- God help me.
Sammy.
Help me, god.
Sam!
Where are you, Sammy!
Where are you? Sammy!
Sammy! Sam!
Oh, Sammy.
Oh, Sammy.
Sam!
Sam.
Sam?
Sammy.
Sam?
Sam?
Son.
- Daddy! Daddy.
- Charles!
- Charlie!
- Charles.
- Charlie!
- Charles!
Charlie!
- It'll be okay, all right?
- How can you f*cking say that?
We've been looking
for hours? God.
- What the f*ck?
- Oh.
This one's kinda cute.
Hmm, kind of looks like Caleb.
- Guys, look.
- They look like
they're headed back
towards the plantation house.
- You think that's Charlie?
- Huh.
Charles!
- Charlie.
- Charles.
- Charlie!
- Charlie!
- Charles!
- Okay, okay maybe he met up
with one of the owners
and is getting a
tour of the house.
- What? A tour?
Anna, what?
- Yeah. A tour.
- What the f*ck
are you talking about?
- Charles!
- Baby,
I'm just trying to help.
- Maybe he caught a cab
so he can get the
f*ck outta here.
- Okay, we have been
looking everywhere, okay?
I'm just trying to help, baby.
Let's just check
the house. Okay?
- Charles!
- Charlie!
Oh f*ck.
Mariah!
- Charles!
- Baby, baby, go.
- All right.
- Baby, go.
- Charlie!
- Charles!
- Hey, baby, go. Go.
- Charlie!
Come on.
This sh*t isn't f*cking funny.
- Charlie.
Charlie.
- Charles!
What the f*ck?
- Charlie.
- Mariah.
- Charlie. Baby?
- Oh, my god.
- Charlie.
- Charlie.
- Charles,
come on. Talk to me.
Charlie, it's time
to snap out of it.
Come on we gotta go home.
- Wake up, wake up Charlie.
Listen to me. Listen to me.
- Charles.
- Listen to me.Charlie.
Charlie, I need you. I need you.
I need you, Charlie. Come on.
- Oh, f*ck.
- Charlie.
Charles.
- There they are.
- Oh.
Welcome.
- Baby. come on.
- Welcome to the
Destrehan Plantation.
- Oh, my god.
- You finally made it.
- Anna. Anna, take my hand.
Anna. Anna?
- No, no, no.
No, no-no-no, no-no-no,
no, no-no-no!
No! Charlie, Charlie wake up.
Wake up, Charlie.
- Whoa, boy.
You're getting
ahead of yourself.
- Wake up, Charlie.
- Come on now.
You need to save that
energy for the field.
- Charlie, wake up,
wake up, please.
- In the meantime
my buddy, Earl.
Oh!
- My buddy, Earl, would
be more than happy
to show you some good old
hometown Southern hospitality
if you needed to
burn some energy.
Earl.
- Oh.
- Go on now!
No, no, no!
- Woah!
- Why are you doing this?
Help! No!
- Come on now, boy.
- What's going on here? No!
- Come on now.
- No, no!
Why are you doing this?
- You look great, my boy.
- No, Charlie, no. Help me.
- Yeah.
- Charlie. No, no.
Why? Why?
No.
No, no-no-no-no.
No! No, help please.
Please, help!
Why are you doing this?
- You can call me Momma.
- Momma. Momma.
Momma. Momma.
Momma. Momma.
Momma.
- Bonjour, mon petit.
Oh, don't be rude, now.
She's part of the
family.
- Why are you doing this?
Ooh no, no, no.
- Don't you see?
I am giving people like you and
this boy here an opportunity
that you would never
be granted out there.
The lynching.
Young boys and girls being
gunned down in the streets,
in their homes, on
runs, in their cars.
Nowhere in this world is
safe for people like you.
Nowhere in this
world has it ever
truly been safe for
people like you.
You see these plantations have
always been misunderstood,
seen as prisons, when in reality
they were safe havens
for people like you,
the lessers of this world.
- You can't really be
claiming to help anyone,
you crazy f*cking b*tch!
- Oh, but you see
I am. It's true.
We benefit as a unit.
As a family.
All of us.
It's a shame he could've been
useful around the property,
but he's too far gone now.
You see, when we first moved
here some 200 odd years ago,
I had a vision in these swamps.
These swamps that hold
a power like no other.
They are home to what the
Creole down here called Bondye
or Bon dieu, French
for good God.
And he sure is a god of good.
And as I have always been
gifted with special powers
and privileges, this
Bondye spoke to me,
told me what I needed to
do to preserve my family.
And in this vision,
I was told that in return
for the sacrifices
I made to the bayou
by planting the less
fortunate in the garden,
they would ascend to
an afterlife,
the bayou would thrive
and my family would persevere
through all the great hardships
that were soon to befall
our great community.
The great w*r, the
abolishment of our workforce,
our way of life.
Now, we couldn't just hand over
our entire workforce.
But, sacrifice we did
and lo and behold,
we lived on,
never aging, never changing.
Just trying to keep up with
our ever changing times.
In the garden, you are not
lessers but made equal.
In the bayou out here where
past and present are one,
you can see him again.
Mariah, this is your chance.
You are ready.
You don't wanna
be part of a world
where you can't take
care of your own.
- No.
- Your poor boy.
He never had a momma
to take care of him.
- How do you know
that?
- I am doing you a favor.
This is symbiosis.
This is redemption
for all of us.
- For all of us.
- Commence
the ceremony.
- No, no-no-no
no, no, no!
No, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no!
No, no, no!
No, no.
No, no, Charles.
Charles, no!
No, Charles, Charles, don't.
No, no, no, no. No!
- Such a shame.
- No, no, no, baby, no!
Charles! No, no!
- Charles.
- No!
I'm so scared.
I, I love you, Mariah.
- No, Charles!
No!
Oh, no! Oh, no!
- Precious sweet Caleb
Caleb don't you cry
Precious sweet Caleb
I'll love you till you die
- No, Caleb!
- He's better off
in the garden, Mariah.
- No!
- Momma. Momma.
- You can see him now.
- Oh, Charlie.
- Momma, Momma.
- I'm not mad.
- No.
- And she, she wants to help.
- Momma, Momma, Momma.
- She wants you
to be happy again, Mariah.
- Momma, Momma, Momma.
- I, I want you to be
happy again.
- Momma, Momma, Momma.
Momma, Momma, Momma.
- Good morning.
Oh, sh-sh-sh.
Oh, Mariah.
It's your turn now, my love.
I wanted to be alone for
this husband and wife,
as it should be.
- No.
- As it should be.
Tell him, I'm sorry.
Tell him I love him, Mariah.
And tell him I'm sorry
I wasn't there for him.
Mommy's coming,
Sam. Mommy's coming.
Mommy's coming.
It's all gonna be
over soon, baby.
Everything will be as it was.
- I'm ready.
I love you, Charlie.
- What did you say?
- I love you.
Sam loved you.
And it wasn't your fault.
There's nothing we can
do to get him back.
And I know there's
nothing left for us.
Charlie, please. I love you.
- Oh, oh.
- You all right, dear?
- I need the police.
- Oh, are you all right, miss?
- Yeah. Just get me the phone.
I need the police.
- We don't let patrons
use the phone.
When I saw
- But I'll try them for you.
The hearse come rolling
Now just wait right there,
honey.
Everything
is going to be okay.
My mother away
Will the circle
- Do the swamp trek?
- Huh?
- The swamp trek.
You know the plantation
trail. Right this way.
We get a lot of
hikers and tourists
who wanna reconnect
with their history.
They decide to do the plantation
trail through the bayou.
