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!!!!

Underground E7: Innocence Lost

demetria lucas April 21, 2016

James, James, James.

The ungodly visiting Reverend has decided it's time for 7 year old James to get in the field to pick cotton. Previously, Ernestine had seduced Massa Tom into agreeing to put James in the woodshop with his brother, Sam. But this spineless mofo is so pressed to get on the good side of the preacher who doesn't even like him, that he puts James, who is probably his child, in the field.

Ernestine and Sam try to explain the rules of the field to James, who just doesn't get it. Ernestine tells him about wearing two masks, one for white folk, one got black and how even when you're mad, you can't show it. James says he never had to do that around TR, Massa Tom's son. Ernestine tries to make him understand, "things are different now."

Poor Lil James. He goes out in the field and his hands are bleeding and swollen, he’s hot, the break water is filthy so he won't drink it, which means he's dehydrated. Lawd. And he's expected to pick 300lbs* of cotton, a grown man's share. He ain't about this life. Sam, who also isn’t used to this-- he's been in the woodshop-- tries to help the baby, guiding him through the field. At the weigh in, Sam switches bags with James, who is 75lbs short, so James won't get lashes.

TR rolls up all cheery at the weigh in to see his friend. Bruh, bad timing.
