All language subtitles for A Man Called Hawk s01e09 Never My Love

One warrior takes another in pursuit of
the decision -maker.

One death to save the balance of his own
army.

Sterling A. Brown died this morning.

Yes. A man with whom I have shared many
moments of joy and sadness.

From infinity to childhood, to
adulthood, back to infinity.

What is death?

But life unmasked, whether it comes
early or late.

Perhaps.

But whether it is early or late is never
the real issue.

What is the real issue?

Check.

Oh,

the veil has been lifted.

The poet is with me still.

change the dial. That's what I always
implore you to do.

You got me to work by 8 o 'clock?

You already late.

Look here, man. All I need is a nickel's
worth to tie me over to my cruise ship.

Come in, man.

Just a nickel.

Morning, Mama.

Hey, love.

We're running a little late this
morning, I see. Ah, a late date with

I'll make it by 8 .30.

Later, man.

You know that blouse she asked me to get
you?

Mm -hmm.

Got it right here.

Thanks, ma.

What are you doing?

messing up the neighborhood. Look, now,
are you sure you're all right? Are you

all right?

Yeah, yeah, I'm okay, Mama. Yes,

well, I'll call the police and I will
call the doctor.

Curtis,

hi, it's me.

Curtis, I need a lift to work this
morning.

I, um... Oh, this is embarrassing.

Somebody stole my car right out from
under me.

No, no, I'm okay.

No, no, really, doctor, I'm fine.

He stole my car, not my good health.

Okay, I'll wait for you in front of Ma's
store.

Uh -huh.

Okay. Bye -bye.

Who you calling, the police?

Somebody better.

Talk to me.

I'll be right there, Louise.

Just find it if you can.

Hey, Western, what's going on?

Hello, Hawk.

I understand you're going to be
commuting with the regular folks. You be

right or what? Someone just took my car.

The police got all the information.

It's a shame it was a brother.

Tell me more about this brother.

Here's my ride.

Oh, Hawk, the brother wears a cap that
says, so what?

Uh -huh.

Curtis. I'm sorry I had to bring you out
here this morning. Meet Hawk. He's a

very good friend of the family. Sort of
a big brother.

Good morning.

Hawk. Three to one.

Doctor.

I think it's time we get you to work.

Yeah. I will inquire about your
misappropriated vehicle.

Brother, shall we? Yes.

Are you sure you're all right? I can
have someone look you over if you want.

I'm fine, really.

Curtis, is something bothering you?

Who is this Hawk person?

I told you, he's a friend of the family.
I've known him since I was in grade

school.

Oh, come on, hon. Don't let that bother
you.

Have you given any more thought to what
we talked about last night?

Haven't thought of much else.

And?

And, like I said, it's a little too
soon. We've only been going out a couple

months. We should give it some more
time.

Why? I've told you how I feel about you.

And you've told me how you feel about
me. I know. I'm having a wonderful time.

I'm just not ready to make that kind of
a decision yet.

Why not?

What's wrong with wanting to get
married?

Start a family.

Nothing.

Then... Look, I'm a successful doctor.

I have a very nice home.

And I have plenty of money in the bank.

What more do you need?

Time.

Just a little more time, Curtis, okay?

Okay.

I don't know right off, Hoff.

Crime's gotten so bad, can't tell the
difference between good and evil.

Car stolen in this neighborhood can be
done by any drugged -out punk looking to

buy a piece of crack.

I'm looking for a young brother about
five, nine on the slim side, wears a

baseball cap, says, so what?

Oh, yeah?

Oh, yeah.

He states it right here. Yeah, well,
we'll talk to him about it. Well, he

it.

One thing you've got to give me high
marks

for, Miss Webster, I do know how to
stick to the task at hand.

Hmm? Oh, yes, Doctor, you're very
persistent.

So, dinner and dancing tonight? We talk
some more? Oh, no, Curtis, it's a school

night. Okay, early dinner and dancing.

Okay. Good.

Kiss good.

Hey, thanks for the ride.

Love you. Love you.

Didn't I tell you I was going to come
through, homie? Yeah, bud, that you did

say. As soon as I sell this baby, we'll
be totally squammy. The Bible say thou

shalt not steal.

Who the hell are you?

You're going to find out in the next
several moments.

So this is one of our errand delivery
men? Yeah, that's right, Mr. McSwain. He

decided to liberate a few goods for his
own use.

You know, it's too bad we can't bond our
employees, eh, Derek?

Have a nice day.

Good afternoon, sir.

See you later, Tank.

Here's to the most beautiful woman in
the room.

Why, thank you, sir.

And for good health? Not too good. I am
in the business of healing.

You want to dance?

Oh yeah, I like this one.

What do you think you're doing?

Who is that? Tell me, who is that? From
college.

You seem to have friends popping up
everywhere, don't you?

Curtis, how dare you? You take me home.

What such a place is this?

This is where I make all my deliveries.

I ain't never seen no cop carry no piece
like that before, man. You haven't yet.

Show me the way.

What's the problem, huh?

Huh? What's the problem?

When Derek West counsels an employee,
the effects last a long, long

time.

You understand, sweet pea?

You want to see what one of these can
do?

Come on.

They say that all the baddest dudes are
either dead or locked up.

You want to see what we can do with one
of these?

Now, you go get the tape deck and the
radio you sold to these gentlemen.

Let's go, gentlemen.

Wait a minute, Bailey.

I said wait a minute. Why can't we talk
about it? Talk about what, Curtis? Your

insane behavior back there. The fact
that you're convinced that any man who

looks at me sideways is some long -lost
lover.

Well, I'm sick of it, Curtis. I'm not
going to stand for it.

If you want me to stop reacting, then
why don't you stop flirting with every

other man who walks by?

Flirting? My God, Curtis, would you
listen to yourself?

I think that we should just say
goodnight and talk about this later.

No, we won't. We'll talk about it now.

Let go of me, Curtis. Take your hands
off of me.

Oh, no, you don't want to talk.

Get your hands off me. Get your hands
off me. I'm not putting up with this

nonsense.

You're hurting my arm. Let go.

Stop it. Bailey, are you all right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No use to give,
Raptor. The police will be making a

visit to this five and dime.

Say goodbye, sucker.

want to talk about it?

Not really.

Oh, Ma.

He treats me like a possession.

Well, some men will do that. Well, I
hate it.

But you don't hate him.

No. No, I don't.

He can be so sweet at times.

Attentive, loving, warm.

But then he'll just go.

Or he'll sulk like a little boy,
imagining all these silly fantasies

with other men.

Has he ever hurt you, Bailey?

No, Ma.

Well, looks like Curtis has some growing
up to do.

Huh?

Something like that.

Well, I guess I better go on home.

Oh, I don't have a car.

Stay the night, honey.

Thanks, Ma.

Oh, Ma.

Did I tell you I got the job offer to
teach in Northern Maryland?

Mm -hmm.

You gonna take it?

I don't know.

I haven't given it much thought.

Good night, Mom.

Good night, Percy.

They're free. Take one and go.

Do I hear a note of sarcasm in your
voice, Mrs. Webster?

I'm sorry.

I was trying for disdain.

You can laugh all you want, Mr. McSwain,
but your time is coming.

This was a nice, peaceful neighborhood
till you and your kind moved in.

Yeah, we...

We know all about you and what you do
around here.

But folks aren't going to take it any
longer.

We'll organize and run you out.

Good day, Mrs. Webster.

Good day, Mr.

McSwain.

And just to show you how wrong you are
about me, I'm going to offer you a

advice.

Whoever is running crime in this
neighborhood can play rough.

Very rough.

So before you and a bunch of shopkeepers
start trying to face them down, you'd

better think twice.

Leaving for work, Mama.

Miss Webster? Good morning.

Lord, fear from that man.

Gonna take the bus, honey?

I guess.

Ah,

my car!

Greetings to the ladies' Webster.

Thank you, Hawk. Oh, yes, thank you,
Hawk. How can I repay you?

Keep your car locked from now on.

You know, the police would still be
looking for this car if it weren't for

No. I formed a community action group.

Would you come to our next meeting?

I will be with you in spirit.

I thought you might need a ride.

Thank you, Curtis.

But Hawk found my car.

So I see.

And I'll call you later.

Maybe in a day or two, okay?

Right.

There's been a lot of porthing around
out here today, and it's not going to be

tolerated. Now, this is a school field
trip, not a party.

Whatever any of you are outside of
school, when you're with me, you're

of history, and I want you to think
about what that means.

Now, if you have no appreciation or
respect for what has gone on before, how

you possibly understand where you are
now and will be in the future?

History is a great continuum, and each
of you is a part of it.

Tomorrow, we're going to have a short
quiz on our third president, Mr.

Jefferson, and the Declaration of
Independence, okay?

All right, let's get on the bus.

Come on.

Hurry.

I am not your man. I thought you learned
that yesterday.

Yeah, I'm just trying to help you, man.

Wanted you to know six houses got hit
today.

Do I look like the police to you?

You must be some kind of enforcer. Why
else would you be out here messing with

brothers who are just trying to survive,
huh?

something I'd like to talk to you about.

Okay.

What do you want to talk about, Curtis?

I would like to apologize for last
night.

Will you forgive me?

Yes.

I forgive you.

I really do love you, Bailey.

That's why it's hard for me when I see
you with other men. Curtis, there are no

other men in my life.

That's good.

You don't know how good it is to hear
you say that.

I'd like to make all of this up to you.

That's why I wanted you to come by.

I've been thinking, why don't we get
away together?

Maybe run up to Atlantic City for the
weekend. Or if you like, we can fly

down... Listen to me.

I've been thinking myself, and I think
that maybe it might be best if we take a

break.

Just not see each other for a while.
What are you talking about?

We're a couple.

Curtis, like I said, just for a while.

I love this.

I'm standing here, pouring my heart out,
telling you how much I love you. And

you're going to take a break!

I knew this wouldn't be easy. I'm sorry.

Maybe I'll just leave. No, you won't.

Don't. No.

He's never hit me before.

Never gone this far before.

I shouldn't have seen him. Bailey.

There's nothing wrong with you. There's
something wrong with him.

Excuse me.

I know what you're thinking.

I need to talk to this doctor. I need to
know why.

Hawk, as the friend you are to this
family, I'm asking you this.

Just talk to him.

That's all. He will never bother you
again.

Yeah, well, that may be my wish, your
wish, but that's not enough.

She hates him now.

She fears him now.

But what is ever that simple between a
man and a woman?

I mean, part of her still loves him.

Even after all she's gone through.

I mean, she just can't turn him off.

You call that love?

Something close.

The only other time I've seen that in
her was when she fell for you.

I mean, she was a schoolgirl no more
than ten.

You were a teenager.

She told me flat out she was going to
marry you.

Oh, that was a long time ago.

Schoolgirl crushes are over.

Something here is for real.

Now, she will work it through.

But it can't be because you or I or
anyone else decides

for her. I will speak to this doctor.

Hall, do so with my blessing.

you think you're doing.

Medical alert. Don't you ever lay
another hand on Bailey Webster. You want

slap somebody, slap me.

Get up so I can knock you back down.

I worked a lot of years to make this
place successful.

Now look at it.

And they didn't take nothing.

They just trashed the place.

Two men?

Cashie, he was just opening up when he
walked right into the middle of a pair

foozlums. And it doesn't matter who.

I know why.

It was a message for me to stop our
community action group.

Well, I'm not going to do it.

He's not going to frighten me.

You said he?

Named McSwain.

He calls himself a legitimate
businessman, but he's as crooked as to

Everybody knows that he's behind all the
burglaries and thefts around here.

We just can't prove it.

But we will.

And, Hawk, I mean, I know you're not a
joiner, but I sure could use your help.

I'll see what I can do.

If you see Mr. Maxwell and you tell him
I'm looking for him, don't forget or

I'll be back.

Maggie Sims, the girl, is getting
married.

Seems only yesterday.

She was a small child, testing me to go
for a walk in the park.

There she began by providing a
sheltering, protecting kind of love for

child.

Then as the child grows older, that love
has to be fortunate enough to be free.

Ultimately, the child becomes an adult
to get married and express her own love.

Why are you telling me these things now?

I told you.

Maggie's little girl's getting married.

Natural thoughts at a time like this.

You don't know what's troubling me? You
don't know about Bailey Webster?

Louise's girl?

No. Should I?

Sometimes I think you just know things
as soon as they cross my consciousness.

Read your mind, Hawk.

We're close, I admit it.

But no, I can't do that.

You give me too much credit.

Never.

Mom,

what are you doing here?

Somebody broke into the store this
morning.

Oh, no.

Oh, well, they didn't take anything, but
they sure trashed the place.

Bailey, I can understand you're not
wanting to sit in your apartment alone.

I can understand you're not wanting your
students to see you like this.

But you can't hide away forever.

I'll be fine, Ma.

You're still thinking about Curtis,
aren't you?

In all the years you were married, Daddy
never laid a hand on you, did he?

No, honey.

He didn't.

Ma, Curtis needs help.

Well, that is not your concern now.

He needs a professional.

Hawk, you didn't bring me out here to
give me a guided tour of Haynes Point.

What's on your mind?

The question is what's on your mind.

I say it's the doctor.

I suppose one could accuse me of bad
judgment in this situation.

One could, but not this one.

I never thought something like this
would ever happen to me.

You seem to always be in control.

On top of it.

Seem to be.

I've decided I'm not going to see him
again, Hawk.

Your choice.

You're a woman now, been one for quite a
while.

Didn't think I'd notice, did you?

No.

Well, sometimes.

Do you really want to know how I feel
about you, Bailey?

Sometimes I think I do.

Then other times, I don't know.

The most dangerous place to be is in the
place of wonder.

Who's in control of your life?

Think about it, Bailey Webster.

Will you stop worrying?

I'll take care of Hawk. You just make
those deliveries.

Well, you really stirred up a hornet's
nest. What did I do? It's a dumb move

going after this man, Hawk.

I was only trying to take care of
business. I knew what you were trying to

but you screwed it up. Now the police
are all over the place asking questions.

Look, I don't need people around me who
make mistakes.

Hey, Mr. McTwin. You cost me 50 grand on
that little bonfire of yours.

Now Hawk is making waves.

I want to end it.

I'll do it.

And this time, don't miss.

You want to move off the streets into
the big leagues?

You proved to me you belong here.

What do you want?

Miss Webster, I was wondering if Bailey
was here.

I'd like to apologize.

She's not here.

Well, she's not at our apartment, so she
must be here.

Well, I said she's not here. Now, if
you'll excuse me. I know she's here,

Webster.

What do you want to do?

Hit her again?

Bail, I just wanted to talk to you, to
explain.

I'm really sorry about what happened.

You see, there's this thing that comes
over me.

This rage inside me has been there ever
since I was a kid.

And it controls me.

I was just afraid of losing you.

I could have loved you, Curtis.

You scare me.

I scare me?

It's a sickness. I see it now. I see it
in my brother.

Curtis, this isn't getting us anywhere.

I know.

I just want you to know that I don't
mean to hurt you.

I love you.

If you do, you'll see someone.

You'll get help.

I will. I will. And if I do, is there
any chance that we... Curtis, don't

ask. Ask me to answer what I can't.

I understand.

I want you to know how truly sorry I am.

And please forgive me.

Curtis.

You've got to get help.

Community is tired of satisfying the
appetite of petty thieves.

What do you want from me, huh?

World peace.

Stop the proliferation of nuclear arms.

But I suppose that's asking too much.

I want you to talk to me about a man
named Max Swain.

Yeah? His brother's my doctor. Dr.
Curtis West.

You know, I could call the police.

I don't need you. I want your brother.

I think he needs to be put away.

And what is that supposed to mean, Hawk?

Twice now he's tried to kill me.

Oh, my God.

Do you know where he is?

No.

I... You don't think I'm going to stand
here and tell you where

you can find my brother?

It might help.

What are you going to do if you find
him?

Depends. Okay, wait a minute, wait a
minute.

He works for a man named Mick Swain. I
don't know where you can find him, but I

have a number around here you can call.

Look, Hawk, I don't want Derek hurt.

Are you going to call the police?

Do you know where he is?

No.

I need help.

Is that a gunshot wound?

Yeah, so you notice.

You play with guns, you sometimes get
shot.

Hawk, how'd you know?

He was just here looking for you. Let me
see it.

It doesn't look bad.

Have you lost your mind?

What are you doing running around out
there trying to kill people? I didn't

here for election.

Not just 50.

You gonna kill me too?

Yeah, I might.

You gonna turn me in?

No.

I want you to do that.

Yeah, I bet you would.

Solve a big family problem.

Now look, I had nowhere else to go. I
thought we were brothers.

Brothers in hell.

Go in the bathroom, Derek.

A man could get indigestion eating this
early.

Hawk.

I'm glad you called.

Several of my employees are very
impressed with you.

Can I buy you a meal? You sent someone
to kill me.

I'm a businessman in this community. I
don't send people out to kill.

Derek West is his name. He works for
you.

A lot of people work for me.

Suppose we make a deal. Don't make deals
with devils. Could lose my soul that

way. I'll give them to you. You can't
give me anything.

So why are you here?

I came to let you know, Max Swain, that
you are a thief.

Brown people have enough adversity in
their lives without you.

Money is green.

What do you propose to do about it?

Initiate a hostile takeover.

Bailey,

what are you doing here? I thought you
were going to work today.

I am, Mama. I just wanted to talk to you
about something.

Oh, well, do I have to sit down?

No.

You're not going to see Curtis again,
are you?

Bigger change than that.

Mama, I've decided to move. Take that
job in Maryland.

Bailey, running away is a fast fix. It's
not a cure.

I know that, too.

Mama, I was born in D .C., I went to
college in D .C., and I work in D .C.

I think it's time I moved on. Get a
change of scenery, a new beginning.

What do you think?

I think it's a decision you're going to
have to make all by yourself.

You did this.

You screwed everything up bringing Hark
down on me.

Get out of my way.

I thought we were going to work
together.

You're a bigger fool than ever.

The only fool is you.

Rawr!

I'll kill you too.

Won't miss this time.

You're not dead.

But you've got to do some time.

I wanted to tell you I've decided to
seek counseling about my temper, my

feelings.

That's good.

I'm glad to hear that.

Curtis, I've decided to take that job in
Northern Maryland.

It's time I flew the coop, got a taste
of life on my own. I'll miss you.

Here's to friendship.

Good luck on your new job.

You take care now.

But love me for love's sake, that
evermore thou mayst love me through

eternity.

Sonnets from the Portuguese.

Hawk, a few years ago I would have told
you all my girlish dreams.

And you would have said, Bailey Webster,
our romance must never be. I trust I

would have been more eloquent.

Hawk, I'm serious.

I know you are.

Damn, I'll miss you more than you know.

Just listen to the wind.

I'll be there.

She was very beautiful.

Yes.

Very special.

She taught me to understand that I knew
very little.

In her presence, I learned everything.

Have you gotten over her passing?

Not really.

She's still alive, in my thoughts.

As is my son.

The love they gave me still glows.

You should sleep.

Yes.

Is it not for you, Hawk, a family?

I don't know.

A family's a good thing to have in your
old age, Hawk.

A good thing indeed.

In time, old friend.

in time.
