1
00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:03,677
Last on Roots:
2
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:07,811
Kizzy, there you are.
There you are.
3
00:01:08,401 --> 00:01:11,485
My friend.
My dearest friend.
4
00:01:11,696 --> 00:01:13,653
This is a traveling pass.
5
00:01:14,031 --> 00:01:17,364
Noah confessed.
It was forged for him by Kizzy.
6
00:01:17,577 --> 00:01:21,360
Noah's been sold off,
what's left of him. And Kizzy.
7
00:01:21,581 --> 00:01:26,041
Oh, God, no.
No, massa, you can't sell Kizzy too.
8
00:01:26,252 --> 00:01:28,659
Mama! Mama!
9
00:01:29,338 --> 00:01:31,544
- Oh, no! Please don't.
- Mama! Mama!
10
00:01:32,424 --> 00:01:35,259
Missy Anne, please, no!
11
00:01:35,469 --> 00:01:39,715
- Come on, I haven't got all night.
- Please.
12
00:01:41,809 --> 00:01:43,884
I'll be married in a while.
13
00:01:44,103 --> 00:01:47,518
Well, I know that.
I agreed to it, didn't I?
14
00:01:48,774 --> 00:01:50,683
Got me another boot, Kizzy.
15
00:01:50,901 --> 00:01:55,646
- I can't marry you and that's it.
- You think you better than I is.
16
00:01:55,864 --> 00:01:59,114
- I didn't say that.
- I know Massa Moore was here.
17
00:01:59,743 --> 00:02:04,321
The massa can take my body,
but he can't touch my spirit.
18
00:02:04,539 --> 00:02:07,456
I still dream of being a free woman.
19
00:02:07,667 --> 00:02:10,157
You is my main trainer now.
20
00:02:10,462 --> 00:02:13,795
Gamecockers will talk
about two names from now on:
21
00:02:14,007 --> 00:02:17,126
Tom Moore and his boy George.
22
00:02:17,343 --> 00:02:19,750
I loves being a cockfighter.
23
00:02:20,179 --> 00:02:23,345
I's proud.
I'll make a name for myself.
24
00:02:23,683 --> 00:02:27,680
I'm gonna pick them birds
until I can buy myself free.
25
00:02:58,384 --> 00:03:01,835
I hate that puffed-up Squire James.
26
00:03:07,768 --> 00:03:10,519
There's no one I would rather beat.
27
00:04:20,047 --> 00:04:25,289
The winner! The winner!
Squire James, do you see the winner?
28
00:04:25,677 --> 00:04:26,875
Only the first.
29
00:04:27,637 --> 00:04:29,795
Thank you, brothers.
30
00:04:42,152 --> 00:04:45,188
What you mean, your last fight?
You been sold?
31
00:04:45,405 --> 00:04:49,236
Nope. I'm a nigger what owns a nigger.
32
00:04:49,450 --> 00:04:51,656
I bought my own freedom papers.
33
00:04:51,869 --> 00:04:54,988
Bought yourself?
A slave could do that?
34
00:04:55,206 --> 00:04:57,412
All you need...
35
00:04:58,710 --> 00:05:01,035
...is a willing master
and the money.
36
00:05:02,505 --> 00:05:05,956
And I got a bill of sale
to prove that I own me.
37
00:05:06,175 --> 00:05:09,674
Took me near 20 years.
But I done it.
38
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,547
Saved every penny.
More than $2000!
39
00:05:15,559 --> 00:05:20,185
I could have bought free sooner
if I was just a field hand.
40
00:05:20,397 --> 00:05:24,560
But trainers of fighting chickens,
like you and me, George...
41
00:05:24,777 --> 00:05:27,018
...we cost the most.
42
00:05:27,654 --> 00:05:32,196
Your no-account massa, do he ever
share the winnings with you?
43
00:05:33,660 --> 00:05:35,451
Then you can do it too.
44
00:05:41,126 --> 00:05:42,833
Save up.
45
00:05:44,296 --> 00:05:48,922
Got my wife, Tildy, Mama Kizzy
and two young ones.
46
00:05:49,134 --> 00:05:52,384
Likes to bring them presents.
That takes money.
47
00:05:52,596 --> 00:05:54,339
Presents, huh?
48
00:05:55,140 --> 00:05:58,805
And fine clothes for yourself?
49
00:05:59,102 --> 00:06:00,845
Stuff like that?
50
00:06:01,980 --> 00:06:05,811
I'm a sporting man.
Now, sporting men got their ways.
51
00:06:06,943 --> 00:06:08,105
Chicken George.
52
00:06:09,862 --> 00:06:12,531
I admire your handling of the white.
53
00:06:12,740 --> 00:06:15,990
It was well-fought, Chicken George.
Well-fought.
54
00:06:16,202 --> 00:06:19,286
- Thank you, sir.
- Let's go, Marcellus.
55
00:06:27,129 --> 00:06:29,417
Gonna be your own massa.
56
00:06:29,673 --> 00:06:33,124
And that's the best part, George.
Being free.
57
00:06:34,470 --> 00:06:37,589
Can't nothing be better than that.
58
00:07:17,053 --> 00:07:21,002
Who'd have thought old Marcellus
go and buy himself?
59
00:07:27,980 --> 00:07:30,933
Stand and hold,
you murdering black!
60
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,478
Massa Moore.
61
00:07:37,698 --> 00:07:40,367
All right, what do you got in there?
62
00:07:40,576 --> 00:07:43,493
Fighting cocks, sir.
Belong to Massa Moore.
63
00:07:43,704 --> 00:07:45,992
He asleep right here.
Massa Moore!
64
00:07:46,207 --> 00:07:49,622
- You know a nigger named Nat Turner?
- No, boss.
65
00:07:51,420 --> 00:07:55,713
- Massa Moore!
- lf you know anything about Turner...
66
00:07:55,924 --> 00:08:00,965
...I'll put this musket in your teeth
and pull the trigger. Do you hear?
67
00:08:01,180 --> 00:08:03,089
Yes, sir, I hears you.
68
00:08:03,307 --> 00:08:05,050
Massa Moore!
69
00:08:08,020 --> 00:08:11,139
Hey, now.
What's going on around here?
70
00:08:11,356 --> 00:08:12,518
What's your name?
71
00:08:12,733 --> 00:08:16,813
Moore. Tom Moore.
What the devil's your name?
72
00:08:17,028 --> 00:08:18,854
You all right, Moore?
73
00:08:19,406 --> 00:08:21,363
Is he your slave?
74
00:08:21,908 --> 00:08:23,947
Of course he's mine.
75
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,405
Tell me,
what is going on around here?
76
00:08:28,748 --> 00:08:30,823
We're wasting our time.
77
00:08:31,042 --> 00:08:35,917
This nigger's harmless
and this cracker's drunk. Let's go.
78
00:08:36,172 --> 00:08:39,291
What did you call me?
What did you call me!
79
00:08:39,509 --> 00:08:41,881
I'm no cracker! I'm Tom Moore...
80
00:08:42,095 --> 00:08:46,092
...and I own my own land,
and I don't owe nobody a penny!
81
00:08:46,307 --> 00:08:50,719
And I fight the best string
of chickens in Caswell County!
82
00:08:51,312 --> 00:08:55,261
Tom Moore is no cracker!
83
00:09:03,991 --> 00:09:04,986
Another one.
84
00:09:11,707 --> 00:09:15,158
Gentry, aristocrats.
85
00:09:20,382 --> 00:09:24,509
They treated me worse than a nigger
my whole life. Still do.
86
00:09:25,596 --> 00:09:28,051
- Tell me something.
- Yes, massa.
87
00:09:28,306 --> 00:09:31,805
We've been cockfighting
almost 20 years, right?
88
00:09:32,018 --> 00:09:37,356
- That's right.
- It don't matter that we got money.
89
00:09:37,607 --> 00:09:39,101
It don't matter.
90
00:09:39,359 --> 00:09:40,901
I know, massa.
91
00:09:41,111 --> 00:09:45,737
It seem like every time we get
a new brood of chickens, I says:
92
00:09:45,990 --> 00:09:48,065
"Maybe this one.
93
00:09:48,618 --> 00:09:53,445
Maybe this one's gonna be champion.
Gonna beat old Squire James.
94
00:09:53,665 --> 00:09:57,080
Some big fancy fighter, like!"
95
00:09:57,293 --> 00:10:00,246
You and I got
the same secret hankering.
96
00:10:00,505 --> 00:10:05,416
In some ways, we are more alike
than any white man and nigger ever.
97
00:10:06,052 --> 00:10:10,844
I would die happy, if I could
beat him just one time. Once.
98
00:10:11,098 --> 00:10:15,759
And I would be the happiest man
in Caswell County.
99
00:10:15,978 --> 00:10:20,520
Massa, you ever hear
of a slave named Nat Turner?
100
00:10:20,733 --> 00:10:22,524
No, never heard of him.
101
00:10:22,735 --> 00:10:25,356
Them white men,
they looking after him.
102
00:10:25,613 --> 00:10:27,901
He must be a runaway.
103
00:11:15,078 --> 00:11:18,861
Massa Moore? We's home,
but there don't appear to be...
104
00:11:21,042 --> 00:11:25,999
You killed him! You killed my Tom,
you black heathen!
105
00:11:26,380 --> 00:11:28,705
Miz Moore, he ain't dead, he's...
106
00:11:30,885 --> 00:11:34,170
Look, Miz Moore, I swear,
I didn't kill no...
107
00:11:36,891 --> 00:11:41,469
You're with Nat Turner! You killed
Tom and you're out to kill me.
108
00:11:41,729 --> 00:11:43,602
Listen to me, I swear...
109
00:11:50,028 --> 00:11:51,226
Stand still!
110
00:11:51,446 --> 00:11:56,357
Stand still, you mealy-mouthed,
psalm-singing son of a...
111
00:12:01,957 --> 00:12:04,993
Oh, Lord, you're gonna have to help me.
112
00:12:05,210 --> 00:12:09,254
I can't stay awake and
they're gonna murder me in my sleep.
113
00:12:09,464 --> 00:12:13,331
- Please help me.
- Whatever you say, my dear.
114
00:12:16,763 --> 00:12:19,300
Oh, Tom! Thank God, you're alive!
115
00:12:19,516 --> 00:12:21,971
Of course I'm alive, woman.
116
00:12:22,185 --> 00:12:24,722
I thought Chicken George
had killed you.
117
00:12:24,938 --> 00:12:28,638
Chicken George kill me?
What kind of blather is that?
118
00:12:28,858 --> 00:12:31,230
What's all that shooting about?
119
00:12:31,444 --> 00:12:35,488
- The niggers are killing white folks.
- Are you addled?
120
00:12:35,698 --> 00:12:38,153
What niggers are
killing white folks?
121
00:12:38,367 --> 00:12:41,949
Nat Turner. That Nat Turner,
he's doing it all.
122
00:12:42,163 --> 00:12:47,157
I heard that name before.
Who is this Nat Turner?
123
00:12:47,418 --> 00:12:48,995
Come on, come on.
124
00:12:49,211 --> 00:12:51,333
How long she been like this?
125
00:12:51,547 --> 00:12:53,705
Started about three days ago...
126
00:12:53,924 --> 00:12:57,873
...ever since she heard about
what Nat Turner was doing.
127
00:12:58,095 --> 00:13:02,507
Now, you sure this true?
Ain't some scaredy tale she heard?
128
00:13:02,725 --> 00:13:06,508
It true, George. It gospel true.
129
00:13:08,313 --> 00:13:11,728
It started in Virginia.
In South Hampton County.
130
00:13:11,942 --> 00:13:16,484
A whole gang of blacks went
from plantation to plantation...
131
00:13:16,697 --> 00:13:22,117
...killing whole families, even the
babies. Even the poor little babies.
132
00:13:22,327 --> 00:13:26,656
And you here all
by yourself, poor thing.
133
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,823
I could see it in their faces,
see it in their eyes.
134
00:13:31,044 --> 00:13:33,713
They was planning.
They was plotting!
135
00:13:33,922 --> 00:13:37,041
Calm down. I'm home now.
136
00:13:37,258 --> 00:13:40,543
Everything's gonna be fine.
Don't you fret.
137
00:13:40,762 --> 00:13:42,671
Don't fret?
138
00:13:46,517 --> 00:13:50,051
Here, here.
What do you think of that?
139
00:13:52,190 --> 00:13:54,811
Piece of grid or bone or something.
140
00:13:55,026 --> 00:13:58,809
Or ground glass. I found it
next to my plate last night.
141
00:13:59,030 --> 00:14:02,233
The niggers are putting
glass in our food.
142
00:14:02,491 --> 00:14:07,033
They're trying to kill us,
and we gotta do something about it.
143
00:14:17,172 --> 00:14:21,549
Massa Moore gonna smooth
her feathers down. You'll see.
144
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,250
You keep talking like she crazy lady.
145
00:14:24,471 --> 00:14:26,629
She ain't the brightest person...
146
00:14:26,848 --> 00:14:30,098
...but the fact is,
Turner is killing white folks...
147
00:14:30,310 --> 00:14:32,551
...and that ain't no scaredy tale.
148
00:14:32,813 --> 00:14:33,927
Tildy...
149
00:14:34,981 --> 00:14:39,773
...Massa Moore knows we ain't
going out killing no white folks.
150
00:14:40,028 --> 00:14:42,316
He gonna let this woman know.
151
00:14:42,614 --> 00:14:46,445
All that man knows about
is cockfighting. That's it.
152
00:14:46,659 --> 00:14:50,074
You know why, Mama?
Because I made him somebody.
153
00:14:50,288 --> 00:14:52,529
Made me somebody.
154
00:14:52,874 --> 00:14:55,080
I'm Chicken George!
155
00:14:55,668 --> 00:14:59,582
Don't you ever want nothing else
out of life, George?
156
00:15:00,423 --> 00:15:04,290
Got what I want, Mama.
I'm a sporting man.
157
00:15:04,552 --> 00:15:07,671
Of course, if I could
be a sporting man and...
158
00:15:07,972 --> 00:15:13,346
...my own massa too, I'd be alive,
but I'd be in heaven.
159
00:15:17,356 --> 00:15:19,681
Mama, can I be a sporting man?
160
00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:24,561
Eat your supper. You too, Lewis.
Time enough to be what you'll be.
161
00:15:24,822 --> 00:15:29,567
And it's true, Mama. Massa been
more like a friend than a massa.
162
00:15:29,785 --> 00:15:32,322
Don't you never say that!
163
00:15:33,789 --> 00:15:38,700
He can't be a friend.
He's white. Toubob!
164
00:15:38,919 --> 00:15:41,789
I know what I'm saying, George.
165
00:15:45,217 --> 00:15:49,428
Was a time when I thought
the bestest friend I had were white.
166
00:15:49,679 --> 00:15:51,386
Missy Anne.
167
00:15:51,723 --> 00:15:54,842
We were the bestest friends
in the world.
168
00:15:55,060 --> 00:15:57,811
She teach me how to read and write.
169
00:15:58,980 --> 00:16:03,725
But when I needed her most,
Missy Anne, she turned her back on me.
170
00:16:03,943 --> 00:16:06,564
She never lifted a finger to save me.
171
00:16:08,865 --> 00:16:13,076
Your grandpapa was right.
You can never trust a toubob.
172
00:16:15,330 --> 00:16:19,541
Massa ain't gonna let
nothing happen to me...
173
00:16:19,751 --> 00:16:21,494
...or mine.
174
00:16:22,044 --> 00:16:25,128
He saved me from
them patrollers already.
175
00:16:25,381 --> 00:16:28,251
Saving his prize trainer.
176
00:16:28,467 --> 00:16:33,508
Saving his best friend
was what he was doing, Mama.
177
00:16:33,764 --> 00:16:36,848
It's all gonna be forgotten
in a day or two.
178
00:16:37,059 --> 00:16:39,680
Soon as they catch this Nat Turner...
179
00:16:39,937 --> 00:16:42,262
...white folks stop acting crazy.
180
00:16:42,481 --> 00:16:46,312
I was coming through
Washington County with the massa...
181
00:16:46,527 --> 00:16:49,397
...I overheard
this fat sheriff tell him:
182
00:16:50,906 --> 00:16:56,066
"The thing we gots to do, Mr. Moore..."
Says it like that there.
183
00:16:56,286 --> 00:16:58,990
"...is take the sheets off your beds...
184
00:16:59,206 --> 00:17:02,325
...put them over our heads,
like this here.
185
00:17:02,542 --> 00:17:04,368
When the darkies comes...
186
00:17:04,586 --> 00:17:09,046
...he thinks we's ghosts of hell.
He'll run for sure.
187
00:17:09,257 --> 00:17:12,257
There's one thing darkies
is afraid of...
188
00:17:12,469 --> 00:17:16,466
...and that's ghosts and haunts."
189
00:17:17,223 --> 00:17:22,134
Bedsheets! Sakes alive,
whatever gave them that notion?
190
00:17:23,771 --> 00:17:24,766
Hi, George.
191
00:17:26,566 --> 00:17:31,192
You got any ideas about rising up
and killing me and my missus...
192
00:17:31,404 --> 00:17:33,941
...you just forget them.
193
00:17:34,198 --> 00:17:36,107
You come near the house...
194
00:17:36,367 --> 00:17:40,150
...I catch you with so much
as a sharpened nail on you...
195
00:17:40,413 --> 00:17:42,535
...I'll blast you to kingdom come!
196
00:17:43,124 --> 00:17:45,199
Massa, you can trust us.
197
00:17:45,418 --> 00:17:48,751
Trusting blacks
got whole families dead.
198
00:17:48,963 --> 00:17:53,755
I'm sleeping with a shotgun in case
you're thinking of breaking in.
199
00:17:53,968 --> 00:17:55,166
- Massa, we...
- Matilda!
200
00:17:55,386 --> 00:17:58,837
You bring all the cooking knives
to the main house.
201
00:17:59,098 --> 00:18:02,348
You do the same
for the cocks' fighting spurs.
202
00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:06,093
Get back. Get back or I'll
splatter you to hell.
203
00:18:07,189 --> 00:18:08,599
Get!
204
00:18:35,717 --> 00:18:38,587
There be your fine friendship, George.
205
00:18:40,972 --> 00:18:43,011
No matter who they is...
206
00:18:43,224 --> 00:18:46,474
...they all be toubob.
207
00:19:07,915 --> 00:19:11,615
Well, to do like Marcellus done...
208
00:19:11,835 --> 00:19:13,377
...and buy ourselves...
209
00:19:13,587 --> 00:19:17,999
...you, me, the children
and Mama Kizzy...
210
00:19:18,759 --> 00:19:20,751
...it costs...
211
00:19:21,929 --> 00:19:24,135
...near $6000.
212
00:19:26,225 --> 00:19:28,051
How you figure that?
213
00:19:29,519 --> 00:19:32,685
Marcellus paid over $2000
for himself.
214
00:19:32,939 --> 00:19:36,770
Now, I'm a trainer,
and younger too, see?
215
00:19:37,027 --> 00:19:40,027
So you gotta allow $2500
for myself.
216
00:19:41,114 --> 00:19:42,228
Tom...
217
00:19:42,616 --> 00:19:47,740
...a slave trader figure he just
coming into his good working years...
218
00:19:48,621 --> 00:19:51,242
...so he'd cost a thousand dollars.
219
00:19:51,458 --> 00:19:54,031
- Lewis?
- Five hundred.
220
00:19:55,670 --> 00:19:58,291
Too young to know what he's gonna do.
221
00:19:58,631 --> 00:20:00,504
Oh, my God.
222
00:20:01,843 --> 00:20:03,467
Me, George?
223
00:20:04,512 --> 00:20:06,504
Fifteen hundred.
224
00:20:06,806 --> 00:20:08,383
Tildy, honey...
225
00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:10,556
...you still a breeder.
226
00:20:11,936 --> 00:20:13,928
What about your mama?
227
00:20:14,397 --> 00:20:16,056
She old.
228
00:20:16,399 --> 00:20:21,737
I'm thinking massa throw in
her freedom as a favor, see.
229
00:20:23,447 --> 00:20:26,566
Five hundred, no more than.
230
00:20:27,535 --> 00:20:30,204
That's $6000.
231
00:20:30,955 --> 00:20:34,074
We ain't got enough
to buy us our own baby.
232
00:20:38,712 --> 00:20:40,585
If we's lucky...
233
00:20:40,839 --> 00:20:42,878
...we could save it...
234
00:20:43,091 --> 00:20:44,289
...10 years.
235
00:20:48,347 --> 00:20:53,507
As soon as massa gets right in his
head, we start cockfighting again.
236
00:20:53,727 --> 00:20:55,137
Ten years?
237
00:20:55,353 --> 00:20:57,725
Then we's free, Tildy.
238
00:20:58,899 --> 00:21:00,441
We's free, honey.
239
00:21:03,653 --> 00:21:05,859
Oh, Georgie.
240
00:21:07,031 --> 00:21:10,031
My sweet Georgie.
241
00:21:24,257 --> 00:21:29,333
The best trainer in all the county
be scratching for mushrooms.
242
00:21:29,553 --> 00:21:33,171
Better than chopping cotton.
You could be doing that.
243
00:21:33,391 --> 00:21:35,679
Oh, yeah, ain't I the lucky one?
244
00:22:01,627 --> 00:22:03,251
George?
245
00:22:08,550 --> 00:22:09,794
What...?
246
00:22:32,407 --> 00:22:33,782
Dead.
247
00:22:33,991 --> 00:22:35,533
Shot...
248
00:22:35,868 --> 00:22:37,777
...three, four times.
249
00:22:37,995 --> 00:22:43,285
- Ever seen him before? You know him?
- No. But I got my reckoning.
250
00:22:43,668 --> 00:22:47,748
Nat Turner's boys.
Trying to get away.
251
00:22:48,005 --> 00:22:50,080
Headed cross the river there.
252
00:22:50,674 --> 00:22:53,129
He cross the river now, George.
253
00:22:53,803 --> 00:22:55,427
Amen.
254
00:22:56,263 --> 00:22:57,840
George...
255
00:22:58,098 --> 00:23:01,348
...how come you figure
he be smiling like that?
256
00:23:27,711 --> 00:23:29,418
Chicken George.
257
00:23:33,091 --> 00:23:35,961
Yes, sir, Squire James. Morning, sir.
258
00:23:36,177 --> 00:23:40,673
Morning. I'm on my way
to make Mr. Moore a proposition.
259
00:23:40,890 --> 00:23:45,717
If he should accept,
would you object to leaving here?
260
00:23:46,938 --> 00:23:49,974
I don't rightly know.
261
00:23:50,733 --> 00:23:55,608
Don't rightly know
what a proposition is.
262
00:23:55,822 --> 00:24:00,982
Well, I have a friend arriving
within the month from England.
263
00:24:01,202 --> 00:24:04,119
He's bringing 20
of his best fighting cocks.
264
00:24:04,330 --> 00:24:08,161
Together, we shall issue
a challenge...
265
00:24:08,375 --> 00:24:12,871
...to fight all comers
for a purse of $30,000.
266
00:24:13,547 --> 00:24:17,081
I want to buy you
to train and handle my birds.
267
00:24:17,843 --> 00:24:21,258
I'll promise you
the usual trainer's share...
268
00:24:21,472 --> 00:24:23,927
...and your freedom in five years.
269
00:24:29,646 --> 00:24:33,595
Massa Moore said there ain't gonna
be no more cockfighting...
270
00:24:33,817 --> 00:24:37,435
As long as that bloodthirsty
Nat Turner is loose?
271
00:24:37,654 --> 00:24:40,405
Don't worry,
that's over and done with.
272
00:24:41,616 --> 00:24:46,408
They caught him three days ago.
Hung him. Left his body out to rot.
273
00:24:46,830 --> 00:24:49,499
The rest of the savages scattered.
274
00:24:49,708 --> 00:24:54,702
I understand there were only
80-odd blacks involved.
275
00:24:54,921 --> 00:24:56,463
Not exactly Armageddon.
276
00:24:58,132 --> 00:25:03,256
Well, at any rate, I'll be talking
to Mr. Moore this after...
277
00:25:03,513 --> 00:25:05,671
Squire James, sir?
278
00:25:08,267 --> 00:25:09,595
This is Tildy.
279
00:25:11,103 --> 00:25:14,471
My wife. We got us a family and...
280
00:25:14,690 --> 00:25:17,477
Don't worry.
I wouldn't split you up.
281
00:25:18,069 --> 00:25:22,018
Wouldn't do to have
an unhappy trainer, now, would it?
282
00:25:22,281 --> 00:25:25,447
No, sir! I wouldn't be unhappy!
283
00:25:25,659 --> 00:25:28,944
I'll talk to Tom Moore right now.
284
00:25:29,163 --> 00:25:31,202
I hope it can be worked out.
285
00:25:31,415 --> 00:25:35,792
Yes, sir. I sure hopes
you can work something out too.
286
00:25:56,398 --> 00:26:00,940
Damn aristocrat thought
he could buy you for $3500.
287
00:26:01,152 --> 00:26:02,895
That's chicken feed.
288
00:26:03,113 --> 00:26:05,782
Massa Moore, you don't need me.
289
00:26:06,324 --> 00:26:07,699
You ain't fighting.
290
00:26:07,909 --> 00:26:10,862
I am now. The troubles are over.
291
00:26:11,079 --> 00:26:15,242
Yes, sir, we are gonna be
fighting now for real money.
292
00:26:15,458 --> 00:26:19,918
$30,000 in the purse
and side bets starting at $250.
293
00:26:20,129 --> 00:26:23,912
We'll squeeze the last two bits
out of James...
294
00:26:24,133 --> 00:26:26,172
...and his Englishman friend.
295
00:26:26,385 --> 00:26:28,673
But he say he set me free.
296
00:26:28,971 --> 00:26:32,838
Ain't for him to say.
You're gonna fight my chickens.
297
00:26:34,268 --> 00:26:37,601
You're mine.
You are my property, George.
298
00:26:37,813 --> 00:26:41,478
You'll beat the Englishman
and anyone else who comes.
299
00:26:41,692 --> 00:26:44,396
It don't matter how much is offered.
300
00:26:45,112 --> 00:26:49,904
It don't matter how much
I saves to buy myself free.
301
00:26:50,117 --> 00:26:53,236
You ain't gonna let me go
for no reason.
302
00:26:53,454 --> 00:26:58,578
You're my nigger. Can't you
get that through your thick skull?
303
00:27:00,377 --> 00:27:05,085
Yes, sir. It got through that time.
304
00:27:05,882 --> 00:27:07,957
I understands it all now.
305
00:28:02,438 --> 00:28:06,387
You ain't got no more use for this.
But I sure do!
306
00:28:07,693 --> 00:28:11,026
Don't, George! You can't.
307
00:28:13,740 --> 00:28:17,322
Tildy told me about that dead boy.
About the gun.
308
00:28:18,161 --> 00:28:20,734
You can't do what you're thinking on.
309
00:28:21,248 --> 00:28:24,948
I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna kill Massa Moore.
310
00:28:25,794 --> 00:28:29,162
He done the worst thing
that a man can do to me.
311
00:28:29,381 --> 00:28:31,587
He took away all my hopes.
312
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,424
What about your family?
313
00:28:33,635 --> 00:28:37,134
They ain't got no hopes
so long as he's alive.
314
00:28:37,389 --> 00:28:40,342
Man ain't worth a chicken!
He ain't alive.
315
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,182
- Get out my way!
- Don't do it! It be the worst sin!
316
00:28:44,395 --> 00:28:47,348
Killing him?
It's like killing a dog.
317
00:28:47,565 --> 00:28:49,890
No, damn it, no!
318
00:28:50,109 --> 00:28:52,101
He's your daddy!
319
00:29:01,913 --> 00:29:04,403
I was never gonna tell you.
320
00:29:05,666 --> 00:29:07,658
But you has to know.
321
00:29:09,712 --> 00:29:14,208
When he bought me from the plantation,
he brought me here.
322
00:29:14,425 --> 00:29:16,962
I was no more than 16.
323
00:29:17,428 --> 00:29:20,547
He come to my cabin
that first night...
324
00:29:22,099 --> 00:29:24,471
...and he forced himself on me.
325
00:29:25,602 --> 00:29:28,472
All I knew was that it hurt.
326
00:29:29,648 --> 00:29:32,020
It hurt so bad.
327
00:29:34,278 --> 00:29:36,187
That don't matter now.
328
00:29:38,073 --> 00:29:42,319
I love you more than anything
in this whole world.
329
00:29:44,329 --> 00:29:47,246
But you can't do what you gonna do.
330
00:29:48,375 --> 00:29:51,044
You be damned for your sin forever.
331
00:29:52,420 --> 00:29:55,504
It'd be killing
your own flesh and blood.
332
00:29:55,965 --> 00:29:58,634
He is your papa.
333
00:30:00,386 --> 00:30:04,383
You his boy, George. You his boy.
334
00:30:12,482 --> 00:30:16,182
Now, what we gonna do...
335
00:30:16,944 --> 00:30:20,028
...we gonna bury that poor boy
and his gun...
336
00:30:20,239 --> 00:30:23,026
...and we'll say some words for him.
337
00:30:25,745 --> 00:30:30,702
Then we going back and we gonna
make out the best way we can.
338
00:30:32,084 --> 00:30:34,539
That's what we gonna do.
339
00:30:49,810 --> 00:30:51,517
Yes, Mama.
340
00:30:56,108 --> 00:30:58,396
I just want to know one thing:
341
00:30:58,777 --> 00:31:00,769
Are you my daddy?
342
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,271
Sure am.
343
00:31:05,492 --> 00:31:09,074
How could you do this to me?
To your own child?
344
00:31:09,287 --> 00:31:11,362
I got 20 like you spread...
345
00:31:11,581 --> 00:31:14,665
...from Caswell County
to Charleston Harbor.
346
00:31:15,293 --> 00:31:19,705
You know me, George.
I always liked a fresh nigger gal.
347
00:31:22,675 --> 00:31:27,171
It's hard to believe,
but your Mama Kizzy was fresh once.
348
00:31:35,938 --> 00:31:37,136
What you gonna do?
349
00:31:38,566 --> 00:31:40,605
Don't rightly know.
350
00:31:42,111 --> 00:31:45,444
But I know
I ain't fighting your chickens.
351
00:31:45,656 --> 00:31:49,653
- You better or...
- What you gonna do, sell me?
352
00:31:55,207 --> 00:31:58,741
No, George. I ain't gonna sell you.
353
00:31:59,253 --> 00:32:00,663
I'll sell your boy.
354
00:32:03,340 --> 00:32:06,175
Or maybe Matilda.
355
00:32:08,970 --> 00:32:10,843
That's what I'm gonna do.
356
00:32:12,516 --> 00:32:14,140
What you gonna do?
357
00:32:19,022 --> 00:32:21,857
I'm gonna fight your chickens...
358
00:32:24,152 --> 00:32:25,811
...massa.
359
00:32:56,434 --> 00:33:01,772
$500! $500 right here
on the Englishman's bird. $500.
360
00:33:01,981 --> 00:33:04,436
Hear that, George? $500!
361
00:33:04,650 --> 00:33:08,065
There's gamecockers here
from as far as Texas.
362
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:13,277
Some from Florida. They come
a long way to lose to Tom Moore!
363
00:33:18,205 --> 00:33:21,823
Next, the bird of Sir Eric Russell...
364
00:33:22,042 --> 00:33:25,161
...to fight the bird of Tom Moore!
365
00:33:27,881 --> 00:33:32,626
Tom Moore! Tom Moore! Tom Moore!
366
00:33:37,515 --> 00:33:40,515
Tom Moore seems to be
the local favorite.
367
00:33:40,977 --> 00:33:42,636
With the county scum.
368
00:33:43,188 --> 00:33:45,643
Five pounds, 15 ounces!
369
00:33:52,196 --> 00:33:54,235
Tom Moore, weigh your bird.
370
00:34:12,967 --> 00:34:15,208
Six pounds even!
371
00:34:19,890 --> 00:34:23,508
We gotta get him all the way
back to England!
372
00:34:31,485 --> 00:34:34,236
Get that Britisher, Tom!
373
00:34:34,947 --> 00:34:37,319
Sport of kings? I stand corrected.
374
00:34:37,532 --> 00:34:41,909
He and his friends disqualify it
as a gentlemen's sport.
375
00:34:46,791 --> 00:34:51,002
He mighty puffed up!
Take him down a peg or two!
376
00:34:51,421 --> 00:34:54,208
I wonder where his red coat is?
377
00:34:54,424 --> 00:34:57,460
I wonder, do he fight foxes too?
378
00:34:57,677 --> 00:35:00,049
Or just run from them!
379
00:35:00,597 --> 00:35:03,633
Let me speak! If I may.
380
00:35:04,058 --> 00:35:08,850
Oh, let him speak!
I like that girlie way he talk.
381
00:35:12,525 --> 00:35:13,604
Mr. Moore...
382
00:35:15,111 --> 00:35:18,028
...considering your extra ounce,
let's waive...
383
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,283
...any particular limits
to our personal siding funds.
384
00:35:23,244 --> 00:35:25,319
That would suit me, sir.
385
00:35:26,455 --> 00:35:28,613
Would $ 10,000 be agreeable?
386
00:35:29,667 --> 00:35:33,367
Or is that beyond your faith
in your creature?
387
00:35:36,215 --> 00:35:37,543
Time.
388
00:35:37,758 --> 00:35:40,924
- You hear that?
- $ 10,000?
389
00:35:41,136 --> 00:35:43,424
$ 10,000!
390
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,005
Get that Britisher's bird, Tom!
391
00:35:46,225 --> 00:35:49,309
Counting on you, Tom!
You're our boy!
392
00:35:49,519 --> 00:35:52,270
Here's to you! Go get him!
393
00:35:53,815 --> 00:35:58,939
Can he do it, George? Can he?
You know what I'm asking.
394
00:35:59,237 --> 00:36:02,237
Can I be sure
you'll handle him to win?
395
00:36:03,366 --> 00:36:05,939
You might just lose to spite me.
396
00:36:06,995 --> 00:36:11,324
I'd feel a heap easier
if I felt you wanted him to win.
397
00:36:12,250 --> 00:36:14,456
Don't know about you, George...
398
00:36:14,669 --> 00:36:17,788
...but I want to win and be champion.
399
00:36:22,260 --> 00:36:24,252
The Speckled Red wins...
400
00:36:25,722 --> 00:36:27,381
...I'll set you free.
401
00:36:33,896 --> 00:36:36,433
- You mean it?
- You're my boy, George.
402
00:36:37,817 --> 00:36:39,560
Wouldn't lie to you.
403
00:36:48,661 --> 00:36:49,692
Come on!
404
00:36:50,871 --> 00:36:56,078
Massa Moore's Speckled Red
will be the winner!
405
00:37:04,343 --> 00:37:05,505
Bill your birds!
406
00:37:11,433 --> 00:37:12,761
Sir.
407
00:37:18,690 --> 00:37:20,100
Come on!
408
00:37:26,406 --> 00:37:28,398
Get ready to pit!
409
00:37:36,416 --> 00:37:38,040
Pit!
410
00:38:15,245 --> 00:38:17,202
Retrieve the birds!
411
00:38:25,213 --> 00:38:29,044
We're doing fine, just fine.
I think we got him.
412
00:38:30,135 --> 00:38:31,297
Free.
413
00:38:32,179 --> 00:38:34,171
We gonna be free.
414
00:38:38,143 --> 00:38:39,423
Make it 20,000.
415
00:38:45,984 --> 00:38:47,893
You, sir, have a bet.
416
00:38:52,782 --> 00:38:55,818
- Let's fight.
- Let's have re-pit.
417
00:39:01,332 --> 00:39:02,660
Pit!
418
00:39:29,193 --> 00:39:31,268
The winner!
419
00:39:31,695 --> 00:39:34,185
The bird of Sir Eric Russell!
420
00:40:04,936 --> 00:40:06,216
Well...
421
00:40:07,063 --> 00:40:08,557
...at least you free.
422
00:40:08,773 --> 00:40:12,272
Squire James' bird will fight
the next challenger.
423
00:40:14,779 --> 00:40:16,273
About that $20,000...
424
00:40:16,489 --> 00:40:20,735
In all candor, your bird had
no right in the same pit as mine.
425
00:40:20,952 --> 00:40:24,949
The charcoal was bred
at the cost of 8000 pounds.
426
00:40:25,206 --> 00:40:30,200
Your bird fought admirably. Testament
to his handling and training.
427
00:40:30,461 --> 00:40:35,621
Perhaps we can solve your debt
in some mutually satisfactory fashion.
428
00:40:44,850 --> 00:40:50,140
All I got is the land and you slaves.
Nowheres near the money I bet.
429
00:40:50,397 --> 00:40:51,511
England.
430
00:40:51,732 --> 00:40:57,022
We'll call it square if you go.
Just a few years, to train somebody.
431
00:40:57,237 --> 00:41:00,024
I'll set you free when you get back.
432
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:02,777
Wrote it and signed it. All legal.
433
00:41:02,993 --> 00:41:06,112
Certificate of manumission
the law calls it.
434
00:41:06,329 --> 00:41:09,246
And you can have my hand on it.
435
00:41:34,815 --> 00:41:38,646
I'll keep the family together.
I swear it.
436
00:41:45,785 --> 00:41:49,236
Bet no darkie from here
ever got to England before.
437
00:42:02,426 --> 00:42:05,426
No, I don't want no crying.
438
00:42:05,637 --> 00:42:07,131
None of y'all.
439
00:42:09,016 --> 00:42:11,969
I'm your husband and pappy
and I'm telling you.
440
00:42:13,437 --> 00:42:17,220
A few years! That's no time at all.
441
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,013
Be back! You'll see.
442
00:42:37,710 --> 00:42:40,331
I won't say take care
of the children...
443
00:42:40,546 --> 00:42:42,871
...because I know you will.
444
00:42:43,091 --> 00:42:48,429
I won't say take care of Mama
because you'll do that too.
445
00:42:49,514 --> 00:42:53,641
But I will tell you
to take care of you...
446
00:42:54,644 --> 00:42:58,688
...because you're the most important
reason I'm coming back.
447
00:42:58,898 --> 00:43:02,064
You take care of you for me.
448
00:43:04,570 --> 00:43:07,107
Come back to me soon, George.
449
00:43:08,073 --> 00:43:10,148
Come back to all of us.
450
00:43:19,251 --> 00:43:22,951
You can count on it
sure as the sun rises and sets.
451
00:43:23,171 --> 00:43:26,337
You can all count on Chicken George.
452
00:43:27,718 --> 00:43:28,962
Mama.
453
00:43:35,850 --> 00:43:38,969
Do one thing for me, George, honey.
454
00:43:40,021 --> 00:43:42,974
Tell the children once more
before you go.
455
00:44:00,958 --> 00:44:05,204
Don't you never forget who you are.
456
00:44:08,966 --> 00:44:12,002
Your great-granddaddy's name was...
457
00:44:12,219 --> 00:44:14,507
...Kunta Kinte.
458
00:44:14,722 --> 00:44:18,007
Son of Omoro...
459
00:44:18,225 --> 00:44:21,142
...a Mandinka warrior.
460
00:44:21,353 --> 00:44:25,397
Proud. Proud!
461
00:44:26,442 --> 00:44:28,351
You be proud too.
462
00:44:29,194 --> 00:44:32,942
Because that African blood...
463
00:44:33,157 --> 00:44:36,027
...flows through you.
464
00:44:36,827 --> 00:44:41,369
As long as you know
you comes from him...
465
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,455
...that we all come from him...
466
00:44:46,670 --> 00:44:49,160
...you know why we be strong.
467
00:44:50,090 --> 00:44:52,462
Why we gonna stay strong.
468
00:44:52,926 --> 00:44:57,801
Why we gonna stay together
no matter how far apart we be.
469
00:45:55,821 --> 00:45:59,770
Ma'am, I's afraid
I might have took the wrong turn.
470
00:46:00,033 --> 00:46:02,358
That ridge yonder, that north?
471
00:46:02,577 --> 00:46:05,067
You is right. That's north.
472
00:46:05,288 --> 00:46:08,372
- Thank you kindly.
- Sure.
473
00:46:08,583 --> 00:46:11,951
Could she have a cup of water?
The road be dusty.
474
00:46:12,337 --> 00:46:13,879
Surely.
475
00:46:55,713 --> 00:46:59,757
- Yes?
- Begging your lady's pardon, but...
476
00:47:00,134 --> 00:47:02,624
...is your name Missy Anne Reynolds?
477
00:47:02,845 --> 00:47:04,671
Missy.
478
00:47:05,139 --> 00:47:10,074
Nobody's called me Missy
for over 1000 years.
479
00:47:10,378 --> 00:47:12,998
But my maiden name was Reynolds, yes.
480
00:47:13,547 --> 00:47:14,946
I'm Kizzy.
481
00:47:22,289 --> 00:47:24,702
I'm sorry, but...
482
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,649
...I don't recollect any darkie
by name of Kizzy.
483
00:47:31,115 --> 00:47:32,599
Another cup.36455
