[match striking]

[flame whooshes]

[Annie] There are legends
of people...

born with the gift
of making music so true...

it can pierce the veil
between life and death.

Conjuring spirits
from the past and the future.

In ancient Ireland,
they were called Filí.

[male Irish singer] ♪ The Lord above ♪

[Annie] In Choctaw land,
they call them firekeepers.

And in West Africa...

they're called griots.

This gift can bring healing
to their communities...

but it also attracts evil.

- Ruthie.

No, no.

Come on, son.

It's okay.

- Sammie!
- My son has felt

the call of sin.

[uneasy music playing]

But the good Lord calls upon us

to be fishers of men who sin...

and show them the way.

[stifled sobbing]

I want you to swear to me,

and before this congregation...

to leave those sinnin' ways
where they lie.

I want you to promise, right now.

Drop the guitar, Samuel.

[music intensifies]

[ominous beat throbbing]

In the name of God.

Let it go, Samuel.

[breathes deeply]

Put it down.

[Sammie] You have a good one,
Beatrice.

I'll see you at service
tomorrow morning.

[Beatrice] I guess the grapevine it is.

[mellow guitar music playing]

Mornin', Ma.

Mornin', baby.

Don't put that on your body, Samuel.

Come on, Ma. Soap is soap.

It'll dry ya out. [chuckles]

I'll put this on while it's still wet.

Boy, you ain't got the sense

God gave a goose. [gasps]

[laughs] Go on. Get.

[Sammie knocking]
Hey, Mama said get up.

[sister 1] Morning, Sammie.

[kid sighs]

Don't wanna wake.

[kids chattering]

You Hogwood?

You boys twins?

[sarcastically] Nah, we cousins.

Well.

Here she is.

He moved a ton of timber
a month back in his heyday.

- Workers lived upstairs.
- [music fades]

Say, what are you fellas

planning on doing with the place?

Y'all washed these floors?

Yeah.

What was on 'em?

I thought y'all was
dead set on buying the place.

More time I spend with y'all,

the less sure I am
you boys are serious about it.

Ain't no "boys" here.

Just grown men.

With grown-men money.

And grown-men bullets.

[mellow guitar music playing]

I didn't mean nothin' by it.

Just the way we talk down here.

We'll take it.

The mill, the equipment,

and the land that it's standing on.

[exclaims, chuckles] Well, damn.

Now, understand, it's the last dime

you ever gonna see from us.

And if we see you,

or any one of your Klan buddies

cross our property line,

we gonna kill 'em
right where they stand.

[chuckles]

Shit.

Klan don't exist no more.

Mornin', Pop.

You're up awful early, son.

[Sammie] Like you say...

"Jump on the work,

don't let the work jump on you."

That's right.

Finished my quota for the day.

[intriguing note plays]

Yeah. I brought it in here.

I want you to help me
give my sermon tomorrow.

First Corinthians, 10:13.

Read.

"No temptation...

has overtaken you,

except what is common to mankind.

God is faithful.

He will not let you be tempted

beyond what you can bear.

But when you're tempted...

he will also provide a way out

so that you can endure it."

Now, Pop, if you don't mind,
I'm gon' be late.

Late for what, boy?

Where you gotta be that's more important

than being in the House of God?

I been workin' all week, Pop.

Wanna be free of all this for a day.

To play music?

For drunkards?

Philanderers, who shirk
their responsibilities

to their families

so they can sweat all over each other?

I'll be back in time
for service in the morning.

Son?

You keep dancing with the Devil...

one day, he's gonna follow you home.

[vehicle approaching]

[horn honks]

[Stack] Hey, lil' cousin, come on out.

Got two dollars out here
waitin' on a dime.

Samuel!

Aw, don't you worry now,
Uncle Jed.

We gon' get him back to you
in one piece.

[Smoke] Well, how you be?

Your daddy doin' right by you?

Say, he not putting his hands
on you, is he?

Nah, man. Nothin' too much.

What about the little ones?

Only when they deserve it.

Well, Ma usually
hands out the whoopin's.

Good. Well, Uncle Jed
always been good.

Yeah.

So, tell me about Chicago.

I heard they ain't got
Jim Crow up there.

Black man can go where he wants.

Listen, boy, you can't
be believin' everything

that you hear.

Town'll fill your head up
with this make-believe,

but me and your cousin,

we gon' give it to you straight.

Chicago ain't shit

but Mississippi with tall buildings

instead of plantations.

[Stack] And that's why
we came back home.

Figured we might as well
deal with the devil we know.

[hissing]

Don't move.

[hisses]

[hisses weakly]

How 'bout you leave that truck to us?

Shit. Cracker showin' up late

already got us behind schedule.

I'm thinkin' we just set up tonight.

Open up next weekend.

Nah, fuck that. It's gotta be tonight.

Grand opening,
start this shit with a bang.

Or we start with a misfire.

Look at that sky.

That's a mighty fine day
to be free, ain't it?

Our own juke joint.

For us, and by us.

Just like we always wanted.

Only chance we got if we split up.

Well, who gon' watch the truck

while I'm in there talking to the Chows?

Nigga, just let 'em see it's you.

We've been gone a long time, Stack.

Seven years ain't long enough
to forget about us.

All right.

Watch this fool. Make sure
he don't get in no trouble.

You big enough to take me now, huh?

[Sammie] I'll do what I can.

Nah, you'll do what you told.

You keep your eyes open
for anybody staring too long.

This nigga don't know how
to watch his own back.

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

- Be careful.
- I will.

You with me.

[groovy music playing]

[engine starts]

[indistinct chatter]

Hey, little girl.

Come here.

Where you from?

Shelby.

You heard of the Smokestack Twins?

Of course.

Good. I'm Smoke.

No, no, no, now.
You're not in no trouble.

See, I'm trying to put
some money in your pocket.

See, I'mma need you to come
sit in this truck right here.

And if somebody come
and look a little too long...

I want you to lean
on this horn, all right?

Can you do that for me?

Can you tell time?

I'mma pay you ten cents

for every minute that I'm gone.

- Will that work for you?
- Yes, sir.

No, ma'am.

See, we talkin' numbers now.

And numbers always gotta be in
conversation with each other.

You understand?

You gotta negotiate.

Now, ten cents just won't work for you.

Talk another number back to me.

Fitty cent.

Twenty cents. Best I can do.

We got a deal?

Good. Jump in.

Remember, lean on that horn.

You not little Lisa, is you?

Guilty as charged.

We throwin' a big event tonight.

[Bo] Y'all do good up in Chicago?

I heard about some of them

casinos up there. Y'all hit it big?

We hit. Just not the way you thinking.

What kind of way?

[horn honking]

[Smoke] Shit.

[honking continues]

[indistinct chatter]

[Terry] Watch my fingers, fool.

[thief] I'm trying to make sure

[Terry] Man, just get

- [thief] I'm trying to help you.
- [Terry] Watch it, man.

[people screaming]

[Smoke] Fuck you going, nigger?

Bet this bullet'll beat you there.

[Terry groaning]

You shot me. Mother...

[whimpers]

Smoke.

Terry? Boy, how you been?

I was doin' better
'fore you shot me in the ass.

Why in the hell you trying
to boost from my truck?

This your truck?

I didn't know it was your truck.

- I swear, Smoke.
- Bullshit.

I told you it was his.

Wait, wait, Smoke. I thought,
I thought she was lyin'.

Y'all was supposed to be
in Chicago workin' for Capone.

Yeah, we back now.

Goddamn! What you do that for?

Can't have some nigga talkin' about

how he almost robbed the Twins.

Not without a limp to show for it.

- Well, who gon' patch me up?
- [thief] Shit!

I ain't got no money.

What if I get sepsis

Y'all scoot on out the street.
Put some pressure on it.

[Terry] Get up, fool.
Get out the street.

If they gon' live, they gon'

[indistinct chatter]

[man 1] Do nothing
but shoot each other up.

[man 2] Glory be,

I have no animosity towards
colored folk, but if they...

Mama, Daddy wants you.

- Thank you.
- [customer] Thank you.

[man 1] Used to be that

I'm gonna have to hop all around town!

[Bo] Oh, yeah.

You know, there's two men out there.

Look like they been shot.

That'll be my doin'.

[Bo] Trouble ain't all he bringing.

Where's Stack?

[Stack] All right, listen.

Every cooze got a button on it,

towards the top.

If you wanna keep a woman,

Lick that.

Not too hard. Not too soft, either.

You ever had a scoop of
that ice cream from downtown?

[Sammie] Uh-huh.

'Bout the same pressure you put on that.

Like it taste good,

but you don't want it gone
too quickly, you understand?

Hey, how fast this thing drive?

Too damn fast.

Why? You wanna drive?

Come on, you know I wanna drive.

Later. On the way back.

- On the way back.
- All right, all right.

You always said you would tell me

what happened to your daddy
when I got older.

Well, I guess I'm older.

Y'all really kill him?

Nah, we ain't kill him.

Smoke did.

Our daddy knocked me unconscious.

By the time I came to,

Smoke was halfway done buryin' him.

He used to beat y'all?

Me, mostly.

But he ain't mean it.

See you been takin'
good care of that thing.

Hey, I can't thank y'all
enough for this.

Plays so right.

Where'd I get this from anyway?

Yeah, that's, uh,

Me and my brother

Hold on, Stack.

You mean to tell me

I had Charley Patton's guitar
this whole time?

Swear 'fore God,

- in your hands.
- Nah.

Now let's see

- Thanks, Twin.
- Yep.

[harmonica playing]

Oh. Is that Delta Slim?

Delta Slim.

Yeah, I thank you for your generosity.

I guess that Chicago wind

blew your Black asses
back down here, huh?

[chuckling]

Who the boy?

This my little cousin.
Preacherboy Sammie.

Happens to be the finest
blues player in all the Delta.

I got socks older than this here boy.

[laughs]

What the hell he know about the blues?

[laughing]

I can show you
better than I can tell you.

[Delta Slim] Hold up, now.
Put that motherfucker...

Put that away.

[Delta Slim] Get, get.

Now, this here my patch right here.

Now, you wasn't his cousin
and a young pup to boot,

I'd cut your ass too thin to fry.

And you threaten him again...

I'mma make your drunk ass
swallow that harmonica.

[mumbling]

You still nice with them keys?

Depend on who you ask.

I'll give you $20 to come play
at our juke tonight.

Yeah, I wish I could.

I'mma be at Messenger's tonight,

same as I am every Saturday night.

What they pay you?

For a gangster,

you sure ask a lot of questions.

They ain't paying you
$20 a night, I know that.

You ain't paying no $20 a night.

You payin' $20, maybe, tonight.

I ain't never heard of your juke.

Maybe it's here tonight,
is it here tomorrow night?

The week after that? Nah.

I been at Messenger's
every Saturday night

for the last ten years.

Messenger's gon' be there

another ten years after that, at least.

Shit.

That's probably more time than I got

left on this earth, Stack.

I play, and I get as much
corn liquor as I can drink.

A sinner like me,

I can't ask for more than that.

Know what, Slim? I'll drink to that.

Ooh.

What you got there, boy?

Oh, this? It's a Irish beer.

Straight from the north side of Chicago.

[Delta Slim exclaims]

You sayin' that's beer?

Wind didn't bring us
down here empty-handed.

[chuckles] Give me that.

My goodness.

I got 500 more bottles just like that.

Ice cold.

Say we pay you $40 a night.

And all the beer that you can drink.

After that, no strings.

You act now,

I'll even let you finish
that bottle in your hand.

- [harmonica, guitar playing]
- Ha!

Ha!

These two gon' be playin'
down at the old sawmill.

It's the grand openin' of our new joint.

Club Juke.

We gon' have us a battle of the blues.

It's gon' be a real ring-a-ding-ding.

Just for us.

[crowd cheering]

- Y'all ready to eat?
- [crowd] Yeah!

- Y'all ready to drank?
- [crowd] Yeah!

[Stack] Y'all ready to sweat
till y'all stank?

[crowd] Yeah.

[laughing] All right.

We gon' get funky like
a Mississippi donkey, y'all.

[Delta Slim laughing]

Get a drink on the Twins
when you get there.

[Delta Slim] I like it.
Where you get that one from?

[Stack] What I'm sayin', now.

Gotta do what you gotta do.

[Delta Slim] You gotta.

I've seen you somewhere before.

- [mellow music playing]
- Maybe.

You sing, don't you?

[chuckles]

- Time to time.
- [Sammie] Mm-hmm.

I'm Preacherboy.

Pearline.

Pearline. Mm.

I'm married, by the way.

Happily?

Careful, boy.

You gon' bite off
more than you can chew.

[Sammie] Maybe I'll see you tonight.

[Stack] Then we'll take it from there.

[Delta Slim] I'mma hold you
to that, now.

[Stack] It's gonna be a night
you never forget.

[Delta Slim] Hey, let me
go see about my money.

Hey, go on and get your money.

Hey, hey, hey. There's a white
woman staring at you.

[Stack] Shit.

Uh, you sure she white?

She walkin' over here right now.

All right, now here's
what we're gonna do...

Excuse me, boy. Is this here Smoke?

Or is this Stack?

Don't, don't look at her.

Just go over there and keep playing.

Yeah, it's okay.

- You know I waited for you.
- Yeah, well,

I don't know why in the hell
you'd go and do that.

Because you told me you loved me.

Yeah, well, I told you to stay
the fuck away from me, too,

but I guess you didn't hear that part.

I heard you.

I heard you loud and clear,

but then you stuck your tongue
in my cooze

and fucked me so hard,

I figured you changed your mind.

Keep your voice down, now.

It's not exactly how I remember it.

Oh, it ain't? Remember falling asleep

with your head on my chest?

Leaving in the middle of the night

without a fucking word?

The hell are you doing back here, Mary?

I buried my mama yesterday, Stack.

Figured I might see you and Smoke there,

as much as she looked after you both.

But I guess y'all love lasted

as long as y'all could
get something out of her.

You right. That's all she was.

Food, a warm bed.

Rot in hell, Stack.

Shit, I will.

You know, and save
your triflin' ass a room.

Shit, right next to me. Shit.

[Sammie] Hey, Stack.

[Stack] Hm?

Maybe she ain't white.

Boy, let's get to gettin'.

Come on, Slim.

[gunshot echoes]

Hey, you knew some of them?

All of 'em.

What happened?

Me and my buddy Rice...

we was hustlin' back and forth
up the Delta.

We get busted for vagrancy.

Them white sheriffs
take us down to the jailhouse

and it's empty.

Thought for sure
they gon' kill us that night.

They give us our instruments back,

they tell us to play.

Stack, we played,

Preacherboy, we played, you hear me?

Music was comin' out the windows.

Peoples on the street
were stoppin' to come on in.

[Delta Slim laughs]

Next day, one of them sheriffs,

they get the bright idea

they gonna take us on the road now.

They cover us,
throw us in the paddy wagon.

They took us to this big house.

I mean, it's full of white folks.

Pass around their hat
and have us to play.

See, these white folks
we were playing for,

they had real money.

Had y'all playing them
old ragtime songs?

I sure was.

We play a fair amount of blues, too.

See, white folks,
they like the blues just fine.

They just don't like
the people who make it.

Them peckerwoods
was noddin' their heads,

stompin' their feet.

Some of 'em was almost
on the rhythm, Stack.

[both laugh]

And then Rice and me,
we changed it up, confuse 'em.

What did y'all do with the money?

I drank it.

Rice said he was gonna
take that money...

go on out to Little Rock,
start him a little church.

Did he?

The damn fool.

He took out all his money to pay

for the $2 train ticket.

Train conductor saw him...

[man 1] That Black sumbitch right there.

- ...Klan got ahold to him.
- [man 2] Pull him over here!

Searched his pockets,
found all that money.

Made up a story about him...

killin' some white man for it

and rapin' that white man's wife.

[man 3] That boy's a murderer.

And they lynched him

right there in the railroad station.

[Rice] No!

[Rice groans]

And you know, they cut off his manhood.

[Delta Slim humming]

[continues humming
and tapping rhythmically]

Got that guitar in your hand,
don't you, boy?

Hey. Yeah, come on now.

Hey!

[Delta Slim exclaims]

[vehicle approaching]

Hey, Cornbread!

Ooh.

Stack? Boy, long time no see.

This here my wife, Therise.

Nice to meet you, Therise.

Likewise.

Need you to give us a moment.
Men got business to discuss.

No, uh-uh. I ain't got time
for your schemin', Stack.

Behind on my quota.

Man, fuck your quota.

This my wife right here, now.

I'mma need you to show some respect.

Yeah, well, fuck your wife, too.

What's that?

I said she really gonna
let you fuck her

when she find out how much money

you about to get
from this job I'm offering.

And none of that nice-and-slow shit

she probably giving you now.

Shit, she might even let you
put your pecker in her mouth.

[Delta Slim chuckles]

Boy, you shoulda stayed gone,

'cause I'm about to
beat the black off of you.

- [Therise] Come on now!
- I don't want no trouble! Hey!

Well, how much money
you talkin' about payin' him?

Oh, that's a good woman.

Come on.

We be back.

[pensive music playing]

[engine stops]

[Smoke] Papa's here.

Yeah. Papa's here.

How you be?

No miseries worth complaining about.

You come alone?

Yeah. Stack on the other side of town.

What you come back for?

We bought that old saw mill.

Yeah, we gon' patch it up,
make it into a juke joint.

A juke joint.

This one of Stack's ideas?

Yeah, he figure tonight
gonna be a grand opening.

I thought y'all was done with the Delta.

Last I heard, y'all were northern men.

Nah, we through with Chicago.

Chicago through with y'all?

What you asking?

Who you and Stack robbed

to get enough money for them crackers

to sell you a whole mill?

[sucks teeth]

Just this, Miss Annie.

And a pinch of High John.

All right.

Now, don't sell none of this
on the way home.

I don't want your mama
comin' at me crazy later.

[girl] Yes, ma'am.

[Annie] Thank you.

I can't believe you taking
this make-believe shit.

Smoke, give me my money
'fore I cut your Black ass.

You can put that blade up, woman.

- I'll trade ya.
- I don't want your money.

- Don't be stupid, now.
- I ain't stupid.

Your money come with blood.

All money come with blood, baby.

Not like yours.

This shit won't even spend nowhere else.

- Look at it.
- I ain't goin' nowhere else.

I don't need that cursed money you got.

You know, woman,
I been all over this world.

In cars. Ships. Trains.

I seen men die ways I didn't
even know was possible.

I ain't never saw no roots, no demons...

no ghosts, no magic.

Just power.

And only money can get you that.

You fool.

All that war.

Or whatever the hell else
you been doin' in Chicago.

And you back here in front of me.

Two arms, two legs, two eyes,
and a brain that work.

- [ominous throbbing]
- How you know I ain't pray...

and work every root
my grandmama taught me

to keep you and that
crazy brother of yours safe

every day since you been gone?

[ominous throbbing subsides]

So why those roots ain't work
on our baby, then?

I don't know.

But they work for you.

You still got that mojo bag.

[pensive music playing]

[Annie] Soil of my soil...

bone of my bone, blood of my blood.

I bless you.

Ashe.

Why you here, Smoke?

What you want with me?

We was hopin' to serve food
at the juke tonight.

We want you to cook for us.

Elijah.

You gonna make me say it?

It still hurts coming back here.

But I love ya.

And I miss ya.

I thought I could trust them,
but they tried to kill me.

- Slow down.
- Who's tryin' to kill you?

Choctaw.

Sure it wasn't just
some fair-skinned niggers?

Ain't no Injuns around here for miles.

[intriguing music playing]

Oh, God.

They took my wife. Oh, God.

I'm a coward, ain't I?

I got gold.

Them dirty Injuns meant to rob me.

They ain't get all of it.
Y'all can have it.

Just don't let 'em hurt me no more.

- [men hollering]
- [horses neighing]

Evening, ma'am.

We're in pursuit
of someone very dangerous.

He might've come onto your property.

Have you seen anyone recently?

No.

Bert!

Is he in there with you, ma'am?

He's not what he seems.

God forbid you let him into your home.

And if so, we need to act now.

[man in Choctaw]

[men hollering]

Bert.

Injuns came and went.

Bert?

Bert?

Bert?

[intense note plays]

Oh, he's just resting.

[ominous music playing]

[breathes deeply]

He's all better now.

Hey, baby.

[screaming]

[shushing]

Don't cry.

[Stack] Don't fall now.

To the right.

A little more.

- [loud crackle]
- Oh, shit.

[piano music playing]

Right this way. Ladies.

[Stack] Come on in!
Welcome to Club Juke.

We about to get it poppin'
like fish grease, boy.

We got whiskey,
Irish beer, Italian wine.

Y'all some classy niggas, ain't you?

Too fancy for me.

Ma'am, I don't need no ice or nothin'.

Corn liquor'll do.

That'll be 50 cent.

God damn, I just got 30.

But these is good down
at the Maybell general store.

- You like that cold, right?
- [man] I certainly do.

[Stack] Comin' right up.

I thank you kindly.

Let me holla at y'all right quick.

- [Cornbread] Good evenin'.
- Evenin'.

[Cornbread] You look mighty nice.

[Pearline] Thank you.

You made it.

This ain't no house party.

And it damn sure ain't no charity.

We takin' cash,
U.S. motherfuckin' dollars.

This ain't Chicago, Smoke.

The fuck that mean?

That old nigga worked his ass off

for them wooden nickels.

See, these niggas been
workin' in the field all day.

When they show up here,
let them enjoy themselves.

[Annie] They gotta feel wanted
if you want this here to work.

[Stack] This place supposed
to feel like it's for them.

Right this way.

Uh-huh.

Uh...

Excuse me, ma'am.

You sure you at the right place?

That's a damn good question, Cornbread.

Little Mary?

Not so little no more, huh?

- Little Mary. Aw.
- [Mary chuckles]

[Pearline] When they turn
this place into a juke?

[Sammie] We did it today.
My cousins own it.

You know the Twins.

Heard of 'em, of course.

They your cousins?

Y'all must be play cousins.

Their daddy was my daddy big brother.

So y'all cousins through blood?

But you seem like such a nice young man.

I ain't always nice.

Ain't that young, either.

My condolences about your mother.

We'd have made the repast...

but me and Therise had to work.

It's all right.

Now let me get on in here
and get a drink

before I start tearing up.

[Cornbread] Go on. Enjoy yourself.

- You got my $2?
- [man] Huh?

[man grunts]

When you was sellin' ass
out in Little Rock...

you ever let a john pay with
a goddamn promissory note?

Hell no.

But, see, I wasn't sellin' ass
in the Delta.

You gon' play?

You gon' sing?

We'll see where the night takes us.

Your husband coming?

Shit.

Hold on.

Excuse me, ma'am.

I don't think you should be here.

You see, I'm with the Twins...

With the Twins?

Boy, if you don't
get the fuck out my face...

[Sammie] I am with them, ma'am.

We met earlier at the train station.

I'm their lil' cousin.

Little cousin?

I think you should leave
before they see you.

Wait, you not little Sammie?

The guitar.

You old enough to drink now?

Come on, let me buy you a drink.

- Hey, Mary.
- Grace.

Good to see ya.

- Two whiskeys, please.
- Sure.

I don't know hoodoo,

and I can't talk slick,
but I know business.

And this is bad for business.

It's opening night.

Besides, only be a few of 'em like this.

[muffled clapping and cheering]

[sighs] I need a goddamn cigarette.

Comin' right up.

So you play that guitar they left you?

- Yeah.
- That's good.

You makin' any money with that thing?

Not really. Not yet, at least.

I'd tell ya it didn't matter
as long as you love it,

but that'd be horseshit advice.

Hey, what are you?

What am I?

I'm a human being.

Oh. That ain't what I meant.
I meant, more like...

I know what you meant.

My mama's daddy was half Black.

He raised her to keep
the Klan from killing her.

You know my mama delivered the Twins?

[Sammie] Really?

[Mary] She saved Stack life

after he got stuck in their mama.

And after she died,

my mama nursed them
like they was her own.

And they had enough money
to buy this whole mill...

and they ain't even
send flowers to her funeral.

We sent your mama flowers.
Plenty of 'em.

All while she still alive to smell 'em.

- Smoke.
- [Smoke] Mary.

Why don't you go check in on Slim?

See if he'll need backup.

[indistinct chatter]

[patrons cheering]

Take care of her or I will.

No, no, I'mma handle it. I got it.

- All right, go on.
- I'm goin'.

Come on. Let's go.

- I'm not here for you.
- Then why you here, then?

I come to hear the blues.

Oh, no, they play the blues
just fine in Arkansas.

Come on.

Cornbread, let's get her a car.

Get your hands off me.

What's it gon' take?

Hm? How much to get you
to get the fuck on?

You can't pay me off.

Fine. I'll pay one of these
field bitches in here...

to drag your ass out, then.

Shit. You taught me how to fight.

I'll beat up every bitch
in here and you know it.

I taught you how to walk away
when the money is up, too.

Got you a rich white husband.

Got you a farm. Now go home to it.

I ain't ask for none of that.

All that shit was your idea.
I didn't want no white man.

I didn't wanna be white.
I wanted to be with you.

All it'd take is the wrong
person in here to see you...

word get back to them crackers
and they gon' try to kill you.

Would it matter to you?

[sentimental music playing]

'Cause if somebody out there
put their hands on you...

if they hurt you...

me and my brother
gon' come kill 'em all.

So you'll kill for me.

That's right.

But you still won't tell me the truth.

I was young enough to believe
you were comin' back.

I waited. I waited a long time.

But I'm grown now, Stack.

And I know you never planned to stay.

Why can't you just say that?

Say what?

Hm?

That I love you?

That I think about you every day?

I just wanted to keep you
someplace safe.

And that was never gon' be here.

And that was never gon' be with me.

Never.

All right.

[piano music playing]

[patrons cheering and clapping]

[Delta Slim laughing]

[whoops]

[Delta Slim] Yeah.

Hey...

I been hearin' about this one
particular young man all day.

He 'posed to be a bad blues man.

[patrons murmuring]

Preacherboy, where you at?

Come on here, now.

[patrons clapping]

That's my little cousin, y'all.
Watch this.

[strumming guitar]

[Delta Slim sputters] Hold up, hold up.

Tell 'em who you are, where you from.

I'm Sammie Moore.

- [patron 1] All right.
- [patron 2] Come on, now.

I'm a sharecropper
from Sunflower plantation.

[patrons cheering]

They call me Preacherboy

account of my daddy being a pastor.

- [patron 3] All right, now.
- [patron 4] Amen.

I wrote this song for him.

I said, "Shit... that boy

Get the Twins. Go on. Get 'em.

I tallied the till.

And? What's the count?

Now, that top figure,
that's plantation money.

That bottom figure, that's real dollars.

So what's the projection?

Two months, and we out of fresh cash.

- Hey there.
- [Cornbread] Good evening.

How may I help you folks?

Oh, we heard tell of a party.

Drink, food, blues music and the like.

You did?

We like to drink.

We happen to be musicians,
and we walked here.

So, we hungry as dogs.

- Woof woof.
- [group chuckles]

You wouldn't mind us
comin' in, now, would you?

[Cornbread] I think y'all
in the wrong place.

[Joan chuckles] What makes ya say that?

[Remmick] You fellers must be the owners

of this establishment.

That's right. And you are?

Name's Remmick.
This here's Joan and Bert.

[Sammie] Hey, Stack, y'all all right?

[Remmick] Oh. And you...

must be that voice
I heard from out here.

It was beautiful.

Goddamn beautiful voice.

Even through these walls.

[Remmick] Mm.

Where y'all from?

Just down the road.

And how far is that?

North Carolina.

- Y'all Klan?

Nah, I believe ya,

Blues music.

But we got money,

and we ready to spend it with y'all.

Sounding damn near perfect

and you're saying we ain't welcome?

No, I'm saying you get down that road

and get back into town.

Plenty of white barrelhouses down there.

[scoffs]

This 'cause we're...

All right.

How'd she get in?

- Now, that is none of...
- She here 'cause she family.

Family.

Can't we just, for one night...

just all be family?

You don't need to do that, sir.

We'll be on our way.

But we're gonna walk real slow.

Just in case y'all change your mind.

Y'all have a nice night.

[Bert and Joan scatting]

[Annie] They gave me the willies.

[Stack] Yeah, well,
crackers at nighttime

- will do that to you.
- [Annie] Wasn't just that.

You think they brought company?

I doubt it.

But we got enough pepper
on us if they did.

Shit, we forgot the trunk.

Man, why ain't you remind me?

Fool, I told you to remind me.

Y'all don't need the trunk.
There was just three of 'em.

Now listen to me,

what if they just came to sing?

And what if somebody
spill somethin' on 'em?

Step on their shoe?

Look at their woman a bit too long?

We gon' have a bigger problem
than just a fight.

[Cornbread] Sure do.

Don't let them in.

[woman singing faintly]

[Stack sighs]

- [guitar music playing]
- [man singing indistinctly]

They said you wanna talk.

[Smoke] Yeah.

Seen your performance down there.

Pretty damn good.

Can't thank you enough for this.

I mean, y'all the ones who
put that guitar in my hand.

Now this.

Well, you got the talent.
That's for certain.

But all this ain't no life for nobody.

I know plenty musicians.
I ain't never met a happy one.

Yeah, it's cute now.

But it get old. That ramblin'.

I mean, being with y'all today...

[pensive music playing]

Smoke, I feel like I'm flying.

Well, today settled it.

I'm headin' off on my own.

Where you goin'?

I don't know.

- Maybe Chicago.
- Hm.

[Mary] What's wrong, Stack?

We underwater.

How?

All the plantations down there
payin' with credits.

What about them crackers?

What about 'em?

I can go feel 'em out
before they're too far gone.

I could feel 'em out myself.

They'll tell me more
than they'll tell you.

And I can find out
what they really have.

And what happens
if they're from Little Rock?

They ain't.

One day our daddy beat Stack real bad.

So we get in our minds
that we need to run away.

See, me, I wanna go
to the next plantation over.

But Stack, he figure
we get to Mound Bayou.

Small town. Right here in Mississippi.

Founded by free slaves.

And everything is Black-owned.

That sound like a crock.

Yeah, well, I seen it.

Why y'all ain't stay?

That mayor knew who our daddy was.

Knew he was a evil man.

Figured it was no way

that he ain't passed
that evil down to us.

[Mary] Let me go get this money for us.

I know y'all need it.

And what's that supposed to mean?

See, your daddy a preacher.

You can go and do that.

You like makin' music?
Make church music.

You wan' leave...

go on down Mound Bayou.

Live with the proper Black folks.

Leave all this here improper shit to us.

Irish beer? Italian wine?

You rob both sides.

Let 'em blame each other

while you and Smoke come down here

and set up shop.

You gon' need every dime you can get

when they put two and two together.

But they won't.

They might.

Well, I ain't goin' to Mound Bayou.

My daddy a reverend,
but I'm y'all cousin, too.

And a lot more people know
the Smokestack Twins

than they know my daddy.

Yeah?

Well, you better enjoy
the rest of the night,

'cause this your last juke.

You ain't in no position

to tell me how to live my life.

[Mary] Let me go talk to them...

and see about puttin'
something real on the till.

Come on.

Come tomorrow,

I find out about
you playin' in one of these...

boy, I'll kill you myself.

Look, I'm leaving that plantation

just like y'all did.

And if that's a problem for you...

kill me now.

[Smoke] What's the matter?

I'm a soldier, boy.

And you just gave me a command.

Aw, darlin', that's so sweet of you.

- So sweet.
- We most surely are.

And y'all got money to spend?

Oh, yeah. Plenty money. You wanna see?

Yeah, I wanna see.

What type of money is this?

The solid gold kind, darlin'.

Yeah.

Where's this from?

It's from a different place
and a different time.

But it spends just the same.

You can have it.

But it's no good to you.

- It's no good to her.
- [Remmick] Mm-mm.

Well, what makes you say that?

'Cause you in some deep, deep pain

that money can't fix.

Am I right?

You came over here
for fellowship and love.

Fellowship and love.

My mother...

she just passed.

Oh, that's awful.

- Oh.
- Just awful.

[Joan] Just awful.

Losing a mother's a hurtin' feeling.

[Remmick] Mm-hm.

And I wish in my heart
that we'd have met sooner.

I would've liked to have saved
your mother from her fate.

I can still save you from yours.

No, you must have me confused.

I'm sad is all,
but I don't need no savin'.

Yes. Yes, you do.

[ominous music playing]

You all do.

- [Bert chuckles]

Smoke...

We gotta move his body.

Outside. Just for now...

Don't... touch him.

Nobody move him.

You shot her.

And she kept runnin'
like nothin' happened.

This a haint we're dealin'
with, Smoke. Or worse.

We gotta keep everybody inside
and the dead body out.

This ain't no dead body.

It's Stack.

He's stayin' in here with me.

You got any magic
to bring my brother back?

Got a mojo bag for him?

- I can't.
- Please.

I can't. I'm sorry.

Damn.

He gone.

[softly] He gone.

Best thing about me was him.

- We gotta go.
- What?

We gotta get out of here.

Man just lost his brother.

Look, we came here to help
them with the party, not this.

We gotta go home, okay?

- Okay.
- Lisa's waitin'.

Yeah.

- Okay? Let's go home.
- Yeah. Yeah.

- Go get the car.
- All right, I'll get the car.

- Okay. Okay.
- I'll get the car. Yeah.

Watch over him.

What happened?

I'm here.

[Cornbread] Slim! Smoke!

Where the hell you been at, man?

Huh?

To go see a man about a dog,
like I told ya, you old drunk.

Turns out I need to take a shit, too.

God dog! What happened to you, Smoke?

Stack dead.

Nigga, what the fuck happened to you?

I'm sorry.

All right, well, let me in,
so I can help.

Hold on.

[Cornbread] What y'all doin'?

Just step aside and let me on in, now.

Why you need him to do that?

You big and strong enough
to push past us.

Well, that wouldn't be too polite,

now, would it, Miss Annie?

[sighs]

I don't know why
I'm talking to you anyway.

Probably your fish sandwich

messed up my guts in the first place.

Usin' old, stale grease.

I ain't never used stale grease,
and you know it.

- Shut up, Annie. Smoke...
- Don't talk to him.

You talkin' to me right now.

Why you can't just walk your big ass

up in here without an invite, huh?

Go 'head. Admit to it.

Admit to what?

That you dead.

That one of them white folks
out there kill you,

and you a haint now.

[laughs]

Smoke, you listenin' to this?

Woman, this man showed me kindness.

Employed me. Grabbed me out the field.

Now, he say his brother been killed.

The man needs comfort,

not you fillin' up his mind

with that old Lousiana bayou
bullshit you on.

Now, we out here playing games,

telling ghost stories

in place of doin' what we ought to do.

And what is it we s'pose to be doin'?

Bein' kind to one another!

And bein' polite.
Now, we is one peoples.

And we shouldn't go in,

bargin' into other folks'
places uninvited.

So...

You been in and outta here all day.

Ain't never need an invite then.

Yeah, somethin' ain't addin' up.

Shit, Stack was my ride up here.

I 'posed to walk back?

That ain't my problem.

[scoffs]

Well, it be, your own peoples.

And I thought you was better than this,

but you just like the white man.

Can I at least get my money?

You did such a bang-up job...

now you wanna get paid
for what you ain't did?

Ain't nobody talkin' to you,
you old drunk.

- Shut your mouth.
- No, you shut the fuck up.

Don't give him shit, Smoke.
Don't give him nothin'.

Careful.

- [intense music playing]
- Smoke! Smoke!

- Oh, no!
- [Sammie] Smoke!

[Cornbread growls]

[Smoke] Close it! Close the door!

Close the door!
What the fuck? What the fuck?

He got you? Did he get you?

[Smoke] I'm all right,
I'm all right, I'm all right.

- What the hell was that?
- [Annie] I don't know.

Hey. Hey.

[all panting]

Y'all smell anything?

No.

I think I shat myself.

- How the hell he get up, huh?
- [knocking on door]

[Annie] I don't know. I don't know.

[Smoke] I shot the nigga in his head.

Cornbread pulled me
out the goddamn door.

Is someone in there?

[sputters] Smoke.

Smoke!

[Stack] Smoke?

Go on ahead.

Open up this door,
let me on out of here.

Stack...

Nigga, that's you?

Nah, fool, it's Jim Crow.

Nigga, of course it's me. Open the door.

Stack...

[sputters] How you feelin'?

Boy, you lost a lot of blood.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

It was scary,
and I'm doing much better now.

I swear. On Mama grave.

[Grace] I thought you said he was dead.

He was. I checked his pulse.

Then what the fuck
is he doin' talkin' to us?

But this is good, right?
Means he's okay.

Smoke...

that ain't your brother.

Smoke, what that witch
out there talkin' 'bout?

You gonna let her
get in between us again?

What we been through...

German trenches, nigga.

Chicago gangways.

Oh, all right.

Y'all niggas gonna pay for this shit.

Lockin' this pimp in the closet, huh?

Huh? Open the door, Smoke!

Let me the fuck out
or I swear before God,

I'm layin' all you sons of bitches down.

One by one! [grunting]

[mumbling]

Smoke. Come on, man.
Open the door, it's me.

You know I don't like this shit, man.

Please, Smoke, let me out of this room.

Smoke, please.

Annie, give me the key.

[Sammie] Stack?

- [Sammie grunts]
- [all gasping]

- [sizzling]
- [grunts]

[Smoke] Stop!

[Delta Slim] Hey!

Sammie!

Come on, get up.

[groaning]

What was in the jar?

Pickled garlic.

These ain't haints.

They're vampires.

[Grace] Bo's out there.
We gotta go get him.

I'm the one who sent him out there.

- Can't let you do that.
- He needs my help.

Bo know how to handle himself.

Probably got in that car
and got someplace safe.

Y'all ain't gonna keep me
from my husband.

Grace, we tryin' to keep you
alive right now.

We just gotta hole up till sunrise.

Okay?

Now, we need...

garlic...

- wood...
- [clattering]

...silver, and holy water.

Shit might not kill 'em,
but it'll slow 'em down.

How could it move
and sound like Stack...

if it ain't Stack?

I only ever heard stories.

I ain't never come across them myself.

[Pearline] What stories you heard?

How haints work. They switch
places with the soul of a man.

But vampires is different.

[blows air]

Maybe the worst kind.

The soul gets stuck in the body.

Can't rejoin the ancestors.

Cursed to live here with all this hate.

Can't even feel the warmth of a sunrise.

Okay then. Can we bring him back?

If I killed the ones
that made him this way...

- Smoke...
- [blows air]

They have a connection,
but they live on...

even if the one
that made them is killed.

The best thing we can do for him

is free his spirit from this curse.

They gotta be killed, one by one.

And how the hell do we do that?

[Annie] Sunlight.

A wooden stake to the heart.

The hell, Annie?

I kept that boy safe all these years.

All over this world.

Why tonight?

It's 'cause of me.

My daddy told me.

He said the Devil was comin'
on account of my music.

I had a gal once, vampire.

She was light skinneded, too.

That gal bit me everywhere but my neck.

[Delta Slim chuckles]

Sammie...

you don't worry about a thing, hear?

Devil done came for me plenty of times.

If he come knockin' tonight...

he gonna have to go through
his old friend Delta Slim

before he get to you.

That go for everybody in here.

If I get bit by one of them...

promise me, right now...

that you'll free me 'fore I turn.

What you mean, "free you"?

I got somebody on the other side

waitin' for me.

They waitin' on you, too.

[melancholic music playing]

You understand?

- Hey, come on, look at me.
- [breath trembles]

I don't care about what that shit say.

I'm gonna make sure you get home safe.

[Pearline screaming] Sammie! Smoke!

Well, who did this?
Was it Stack or Mary?

Nah. They ran straight out.
You saw them.

Well, who bit him, then?

We gotta get him out before he wakes up.

[both grunting]

[singer vocalizing]

[music stops abruptly]

We all gon' eat this clove of garlic.

I don't much like the taste of it.

Ain't no one saying you gotta like it.

We just gotta figure out

if any of us left is one of them.

You don't got none of the pickled ones?

[thunder rumbling]

[clicks tongue] This is ridiculous.

- Smoke, put the gun down.
- Shut up.

Eat, or I'll shoot.

Put the gun down, Smoke.
She ain't no damn vampire.

[Smoke] How the hell you know that?

Just eat the damn garlic, girl.

- [gun clicks]
- Smoke! [grunts]

I'm trying to keep you alive, boy.

You ain't to question me.

You a evil man.

No wonder the Devil come for us.

[Sammie groaning]

[Pearline breathes heavily]

[grunts]

- [Grace] Mm-mm.
- Hey, Slim.

What's goin' on, man?

[Delta Slim grunts, stomps foot]

- [Pearline] Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
- [Delta Slim grunts]

- Slim?
- [groans]

[grunting, stomping feet]

What's goin' on, Slim?

[grunting]

I drank too much.

[hoarsely] That goddamn beer
from Chicago.

My nerves all fucked up, Smoke.

[exhales deeply]

[grunts]

I'm fine.

[sighing]

See?

You sure that was blood?

[sniffing]

[vampires cheering in distance]

[door rattles]

Hey. Hey, Smoke, let me in, man.

Huh. Lookit here.

Smoke, Smoke, let me in!

Smoke, I swear I paid my tab, man.

That's what this about?

Smoke! Hey, Smoke!

- Whatever you need, man!
- [feet thudding]

Smoke! Some weird shit
going on out here, Smoke!

I know you hear me, Smoke!

Smoke, let me in! Smoke, let me in!

[screaming]

Whoa, what the... Oh, shit.

[screaming] Get off me!

- Close the door. Come on.
- Wait!

- [man] Get off of me!
- Bo.

- Get your ass off of me!
- Hey, baby.

Come on outside, I got the car started.

Let's go.

[grunting]

What is it, Grace?

[voice breaking] He's killing him.

Oh, you talking about that?

Oh, don't worry about Cornbread.

He's just a little hungry,
that's all. Let's go.

- [gasps]
- Come on.

[snarls]

Come on and go.
I got the car all warmed up.

[sighs]

Or...

You let me back in there.

And I'll come in,
and we can grab our things...

and head home?

Don't listen to him.

Grace, we're gonna find a way
out of this, I promise.

[Remmick] I am your way out.

This world already
left you for dead.

Won't let you build.
Won't let you fellowship.

We will do just that. Together.

Forever.

It's better this way, baby.

So why don't you go ahead, invite us in.

[Remmick] You should
listen to him, Grace.

Or listen to me.

'Cause I know everything he knows now.

And I want you to let us in there.

Or we gon' go to the grocery store.

We gon' pay little Lisa a visit.

No, no,

- don't you fucking dare!
- No, no, no.

- [Grace] No!
- Oh, yeah, Grace.

- I know everything now.
- [Grace sobbing]

[in Taishanese]

[in English] This can't be real.

You the Devil. Ain't you?

Sammie!

You the one I came for.

I sensed you.

I wanna see my people again.
I'm trapped here.

But your gifts can bring 'em to me.

Y'all give him to me now.
Just give me little Sammie...

we'll let y'all live.

Whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, hey, easy. Easy.

I'm gon' tell you somethin',
you goddamn peckerwood.

You can't have him.

He belongs to us. He belongs with us.

And I ain't gonna let that happen.

You can't save him, Smoke,

no more than you could
save your brother.

[laughter nearby]

You ain't safe here.

No matter how many guns,
or how much money...

They gon' take it from you
when they want.

You built somethin' here tonight,

and it was beautiful.

But it was built on a lie.

Hogwood, well, he's the Grand
Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan.

That's his motherfuckin' nephew.

And they was always gon' kill you.

I just happened to show up
at the right place

at the right time.

He tellin' the truth, Smoke.

[sighs] I can see his memories.

Smoke, that ain't your brother.

This wasn't no juke joint. No club.

This here's a slaughterhouse.

It's a goddamn killing floor.

[Joan] But what Uncle Hogwood don't know

is we're gonna start
ourselves a new clan,

based on love.

[laughing]

Now that we got numbers,

we'll probably go to that old bigot

and rectify him, too.

Why can't y'all just go?

'Cause we're not leavin' without y'all.

We're family. Ain't that right?

I know it sound crazy,
but after we kill y'all...

we gon' have heaven right here on Earth.

- [Joan] Mm.
- [Mary chuckles]

[groaning]

Oh.

Hey there.

[groans]

[vampires chuckling]

- Come on.
- Welcome.

Hey, hey, hey. Look at me.

Hey, let me tell you somethin'.

Let me tell you
goddamn somethin', nigga.

The Stack I know

ain't fellowshipping
with no goddamn devil.

Fuck you, nigger. It is me.

Elias Moore.

And I'm talkin' to my big
brother right now, Slim...

so I'mma kindly ask you
to shut the fuck up.

We was never gonna be free.

We've been running around everywhere

looking for freedom.

You know damn well
you was never gonna find it.

Until this.

[laughing] This is the way.

Together.

Forever.

And I ain't doing this shit without ya.

There is no me without you.

What's it gon' be?

- [Sammie] No. No, no, no.
- [Pearline] Hey.

We're closin' the door.

- [Sammie] No. No.
- [Delta Slim] No, man.

- [door shuts]
- [grunts]

No vision.

[Smoke shudders]

[Grace] He said he was gonna
take our daughter.

[Annie] You can't believe him.

He was just trying
to get you to let him in.

He ain't threatened your children!

We just gotta stay through the night.

And what? Let him kill my family?

Kill the whole town?

Turn everybody to monsters?

That white devil spoke Chinese.

He got in Bo's mind.

[breathing heavily]

We gotta stop 'em, Smoke.

We gotta get 'em before they get away.

Grace, just slow down.
Give me a second to think.

What? Ain't you a soldier?

Yeah?

Didn't you just shoot two men
for touching your truck?

They killed your brother.

Made Stack one of 'em.

And my Bo.

Said they was gon' kill Lisa.

If now ain't go time,
then I don't know what is.

We supposed to wait the night

while they take more of our loved ones?

Make 'em demons?

They don't look like
they leavin', Grace.

Oh, shut your drunk ass up, Slim!

I ain't drunk right now.

You need to watch your mouth, woman.

What you doin'?

- Stop that. Come on.
- No!

hallowed be thy name...

Thy kingdom come...

thy will be done...

On Earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread...

[vampires] Our daily bread...

and forgive us our trespasses...

as we forgive those
who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation...

but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Long ago...

the men who stole my father's land

forced these words upon us.

I hated those men,

but the words still bring me comfort.

[Sammie grunts]

- [Stack grunting]

Hey! Hey. Stay your ass down.

I'm bored of you, man.

Mother... [grunts]

Those men lied

[guns firing]

[all groaning]

[all screaming]

[henchman 3] Drive!
Drive, damn it, drive!

[thrilling music fades]

[intriguing music playing]

[grunting]

[Jedidiah] Drop the guitar, Samuel.

Put it down. In the name of God.

You tell them...

"my heart...

my voice...

my soul...

belongeth to the Lord."

You got a cigarette?

You go to hell, nigger.

[gun clicks]

[sniffles]

[breathing heavily]

[baby cooing]

[gentle music playing]

Hmm.

[Annie] Elijah.

You put that cig out, you can hold her.

[blues music playing]

I don't want any of that smoke
to get on her.

[Hogwood] Hey. Listen...

I got money. Huh?

[Hogwood screaming]

[blues music continues]

[baby fussing]

Papa's here.

[somber music fades in]

[electric guitar playing]

[electric guitar riff playing]

[music fades]

Hey, boss...

we got two out there.

I told 'em we closed,

but they offered a couple hundred bucks.

- That okay with you?
- That don't bother me none.

- [door opens]
- [bouncer] Come on in.

[uneasy music playing]

[door creaking]

Vampires is different.

Maybe the worst kind.

- [grunting]
- [Annie] But they live on,

even if the one
that made them is killed.

They gotta be killed, one by one.

I'll have whatever the old man havin'.

Hm.

How?

I guess I was the one person
he just couldn't kill.

He made me promise
to stay away from you.

Let you live out your life.

[sniffing]

It won't be long for you, huh?

I could make it
so that you could stick around.

Keep tourin'.

Keep livin'.

No pain.

I think I've seen enough of this place.

[Stack] Hm.

You know, we got every
single one of your records.

I don't like that electric shit

as much as the real.

Yeah.

I miss the real.

Recordings from back then
sound like a pile of dogshit.

How about it, Sammie?

You still got the real in you?

Take care, little Sammie.

You know something?

Maybe once a week,
I wake up paralyzed...

reliving that night.

But before the sun went down...

I think that was the best day
of my life.

Was it like that for you?

No doubt about it.

Last time I seen my brother.

[pensive music playing]

I love you.

Last time I seen the sun.

And just for a few hours...

we was free.
