Underground Finale: Get Free or Die Trying

demetria lucas May 12, 2016

At the plantation, Tom is trying to pacify Ernestine with some BS about how he wanted to be better than his father. At least he can hold his liquor better. Yes, Tom, because Sam is dead, you're talking to his mother and it’s all about you. And oh, Tom Macon ain’t even his real name. He says he feels bad about Sam. He can’t eat or sleep. He begs Ernestine to forgive him.  Um. You just killed this lady’s first born. She ain’t hear for your sorrow, Tom.

Ernestine says that Sam’s lynching is all her fault, karma for what she did to Pearlie Mae. She tells Massa Tom that she killed Pearlie Mae and she prays for her own salvation. Lady, I don’t even hold that against you. You did what you had to, to protect your daughter.

Tom doesn’t even react about Pearlie Mae. He shoves his hand up Ernestine’s skirt— yes, the ladywhose son he just killed— and says that he wants her to go to DC with him, and they can be “free”. Define free, Tom. You gonna give Ernestine her manumission papers? And what about her kid, James, your kid, the one that you didn’t kill… yet? Is he gonna be free? You gonna take that bounty of Rosalee, or nah? And what about your wife and three kids? Will you be free of them? Tom makes me mad. He ain’t sh—.

Underground E9: In the Devil's Snare

demetria lucas May 5, 2016

Cato and Noah are in the woods watching the slaughterhouse where Rosalee is being held. They're trying to figure out the best way to attack when Cato confesses he has-- present tense-- a daughter and wife. "They both had a smile that would stop your heart." They were sold from Louisiana. He ran the night they were taken and follows the slave wagon for days before he got caught and dragged back to the plantation. He said he doesn't plan on seeing them again. "A heart is made for pumping blood. That's the only thing it needs to survive," Cato says. 

Oh, God. He needs a hug-- and a therapist-- bad. Please, Lawd. Let him find his family before this series ends. It's a long shot. But it's also TV. 

But enough talk. It's time for action. Noah sneaks off towards the slaughterhouse, and Cato goes riding by the lookouts making it rain aka distracting them. A couple of them chase after Cato. One of the guys runs inside to tell Jeremiah it's money everywhere. He runs out. Stabler ain't moved or moving. He knows what's up. 

The guards followed Cato's money trail to an abandoned coach in the woods. They open the door to the coach and Cato's sitting in there with a double barrel shot gun.. They dead. Rest in Hell, Muthaf---ers!!!!

Undergroud E6: Take Me to the Water

demetria lucas April 14, 2016

Last but not least: ROSA "MF" LIE. Bay-bee (say it with a NOLA accent), our girl CAME THRU!!! I said last week that she's a bit naive , but she's her mother's daughter and there's no way she was raised by Ms. Ernestine and ain't got no spirit in her. The boys gotta stop doubting Rosalie as a house girl and treating her with kid gloves. She didfight-- and win-- in a battle with the overseer, and she did kill the dogs that were hunting them, and she did escape from the catcher she came face-to-face with. She be bout it, but rarely gets the credit for it.
 
This week we find out that not only can Rosalie swim, she can clearly negotiate and handle her own alone. Our girl jumped off the boat and swam-- because she's the only one who can-- to shore unnoticed, found some Native American kinfolk, plead her case effectively and got the lost boys on the boat some much needed help. Cause that "let the boat float to shore and we're just gonna duck for cover" plan wasn't hitting on not any cylinders.
