But nothing for 1939.

181
00:09:08,590 --> 00:09:11,050
So why is that year missing?

182
00:09:11,130 --> 00:09:13,550
"Fire. January 1939."

183
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,050
Company stopped keeping
records after that.

184
00:09:18,180 --> 00:09:19,680
Fire must've really
wiped them out.

185
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,100
They went out of business
a year later.

186
00:09:21,180 --> 00:09:23,310
If this fire cost lives,
newspapers would have

187
00:09:23,390 --> 00:09:25,190
carried accounts, right?

188
00:09:25,270 --> 00:09:26,310
Yeah.

189
00:09:26,390 --> 00:09:27,560
So maybe our milkman's

190
00:09:27,690 --> 00:09:29,060
in one of those newspapers?

191
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,070
Are we sure this place

192
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,370
got prostitution arrests
before 1950?

193
00:09:38,450 --> 00:09:40,990
(Rush)
'Hookers, homicides,
the works.'

194
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,250
If Blanche got picked up,
we'll find her here.

195
00:09:44,370 --> 00:09:45,750
Wonder where she is now.

196
00:09:45,870 --> 00:09:48,210
Wherever hookers who
make it to 91 end up.

197
00:09:48,330 --> 00:09:50,630
Let's hope it ain't
hooker heaven.

198
00:09:50,710 --> 00:09:53,170
"Debbins, Blanche."

199
00:09:53,250 --> 00:09:54,710
This our girl?

200
00:09:56,380 --> 00:09:58,340
Oh..

201
00:09:58,430 --> 00:10:00,600
She's a dead-ringer
for this Blanche.

202
00:10:03,260 --> 00:10:06,730
"Arrested for
prostitution in 1940."

203
00:10:06,850 --> 00:10:09,730
"Delaney Manross
paid for her bail.

204
00:10:09,850 --> 00:10:11,150
Manross Delaney?

205
00:10:11,230 --> 00:10:13,650
The candyman?

206
00:10:13,730 --> 00:10:15,650
Delaney's Delights?

207
00:10:15,740 --> 00:10:17,320
You never had
a Delaney Delight?

208
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,740
No.

209
00:10:18,860 --> 00:10:21,870
Guy's got a candy franchise,
been rakin' it in forever.

210
00:10:23,370 --> 00:10:25,620
Maybe our hooker's
moved up in the world, huh?

211
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:29,330
[instrumental music]

212
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,300
Blanche Debbins?

213
00:10:37,420 --> 00:10:39,720
I ain't used
that name in decades.

214
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:40,970
What do you want, honey?

215
00:10:41,090 --> 00:10:43,640
Philadelphia Homicide,
Miss Blanche.

216
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,770
And the police too.

217
00:10:45,850 --> 00:10:47,560
Make me feel young again.

218
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,640
Honey, Manross.

219
00:10:49,770 --> 00:10:51,440
(Manross)
'I'm watching
my talk show, honey!'

220
00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:52,480
Well turn it off, honey.

221
00:10:52,610 --> 00:10:55,070
We got guests.

222
00:10:55,150 --> 00:10:56,690
'That was
the Depression, honey.'

223
00:10:56,780 --> 00:10:58,360
Times were hard all over

224
00:10:58,450 --> 00:11:02,320
especially for colored women
comin' up alone from the south.

225
00:11:02,450 --> 00:11:04,870
You did what you could
to make ends meet.

226
00:11:04,950 --> 00:11:07,660
Today's young people
don't understand.

227
00:11:07,790 --> 00:11:09,160
Y'all help yourself.

228
00:11:10,540 --> 00:11:11,880
Try my number nine.

229
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,250
He gets on his high
horse sometimes.

230
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:16,590
Don't mind him.
That's what I do.

231
00:11:16,670 --> 00:11:18,380
Isn't that right, candyman?

232
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:22,720
Day she called me candyman,
I fell head over heels.

233
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,930
Been fallin' for her ever since.

234
00:11:26,010 --> 00:11:28,060
You know anything about
a trip Sadie was takin'

235
00:11:28,140 --> 00:11:30,140
to New York, Miss Blanche,
the night she was killed?

236
00:11:30,230 --> 00:11:32,770
She told us she
was going to bed..

237
00:11:32,850 --> 00:11:34,020
...not to New York.

238
00:11:34,150 --> 00:11:36,110
Well, did Sadie
ever mention anyone

239
00:11:36,190 --> 00:11:38,820
maybe a milkman
she was afraid of?

240
00:11:38,900 --> 00:11:40,110
That rebby boy.

241
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,490
What's his name?

242
00:11:41,610 --> 00:11:43,990
Southern rebel wannabe.

243
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,910
Wasn't more than
northern White trash.

244
00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:47,450
What was his name?

245
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:49,660
I don't recall, honey.

246
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:51,960
Pierce. That was his name.

247
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,540
He had burns
all over his face.

248
00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:55,130
I'm tellin' the story, honey.

249
00:11:55,210 --> 00:11:59,590
He had burns all over his face,
had it out for Sadie too.

250
00:11:59,670 --> 00:12:02,130
All because
of that damn milk.

251
00:12:05,510 --> 00:12:08,010
[jazz music]

252
00:12:21,490 --> 00:12:22,700
I ain't gettin' out.

253
00:12:22,820 --> 00:12:24,490
Not for no
colored whorehouse.

254
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,830
Let 'em get their
own damn milk.

255
00:12:28,910 --> 00:12:30,080
(Jonesy)
'Oh, here comes another one.'

256
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,540
'Looks almost White, don't she?'

257
00:12:32,620 --> 00:12:35,130
[hooting]

258
00:12:35,210 --> 00:12:37,210
(Pierce)
'Come and get it!'

259
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,960
Who that cooze
think she is, huh?

260
00:12:42,510 --> 00:12:44,050
- Hey, dump it.
- Huh?

261
00:12:44,130 --> 00:12:45,970
I said dump it, Jonesy.

262
00:12:47,390 --> 00:12:49,510
[jazz music]

263
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,940
[chuckles]

264
00:13:01,070 --> 00:13:03,070
Let her clean it up.

265
00:13:08,410 --> 00:13:09,580
Don't.

266
00:13:13,710 --> 00:13:17,080
Sadie turned and walked
right back into the house

267
00:13:17,210 --> 00:13:19,500
and left that milk
out in the street.

268
00:13:19,590 --> 00:13:21,920
That other milkman
wasn't no better.

269
00:13:22,010 --> 00:13:23,260
Didn't I say
I'm telling the story?

270
00:13:23,380 --> 00:13:26,090
This, uh, Pierce
cause any other trouble?

271
00:13:26,220 --> 00:13:28,260
Not that Sadie mentioned.

272
00:13:28,390 --> 00:13:31,260
I avoided him
and his milk truck after that.

273
00:13:31,390 --> 00:13:33,930
But Sadie was afraid
he might hurt her.

274
00:13:34,060 --> 00:13:35,770
Wrote about him in
a letter to her daughter.

275
00:13:35,850 --> 00:13:37,100
[scoffs]

276
00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:39,110
Honey, Sadie
couldn't read or write.

277
00:13:39,230 --> 00:13:40,940
'None of us could back then.'

278
00:13:41,020 --> 00:13:43,610
But she sent letters
to her daughter.

279
00:13:43,740 --> 00:13:45,200
- Lots of them.
- 'Well..'

280
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,200
She might have sent them..

281
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,490
...but she sure
didn't write them.

282
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,460
So who wrote
Sadie's letters?

283
00:13:57,580 --> 00:13:59,960
No one in the house
could read or write.

284
00:14:00,090 --> 00:14:01,630
A john maybe?

285
00:14:01,710 --> 00:14:02,630
Whoever it was, might've known

286
00:14:02,750 --> 00:14:03,960
more about the milkman.

287
00:14:04,090 --> 00:14:05,220
Well, if the milkman
was this guy Pierce

288
00:14:05,300 --> 00:14:07,050
then we might have the answer.

289
00:14:07,130 --> 00:14:08,970
Newspaper from 1939.

290
00:14:09,090 --> 00:14:10,850
Pierce McClintock
listed as a burn victim

291
00:14:10,970 --> 00:14:12,640
in the Baylor's Milk Company
fire.

292
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,310
(Lilly)
'The same company delivered
milk to Sadie's boarding house.'

293
00:14:15,390 --> 00:14:17,640
Yep. Fire was set
by pissed off White workers

294
00:14:17,730 --> 00:14:18,980
'when the company hired Blacks.'

295
00:14:19,060 --> 00:14:21,150
Killed ten, injured
five more, including Pierce.

296
00:14:21,270 --> 00:14:24,980
But lucky for us,
newspapers back then

297
00:14:25,070 --> 00:14:26,360
printed the victims' addresses.

298
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,280
(Nick)
"6922 North, 5th Street."

299
00:14:31,370 --> 00:14:33,830
We just gotta pray
that Pierce is still there.

300
00:14:33,950 --> 00:14:35,700
'Well, yeah.'

301
00:14:35,830 --> 00:14:36,910
And I'll throw in a hail Mary

302
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,370
if we find
who wrote this letter.

303
00:14:40,130 --> 00:14:43,420
- So this is from 1939, huh?
- 'Interesting?'

304
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:44,920
'Well, you can tell from
someone's' handwriting'

305
00:14:45,010 --> 00:14:45,960
'who they are?'

306
00:14:46,050 --> 00:14:47,880
No. Gender, age

307
00:14:48,010 --> 00:14:50,510
personality type,
region of origin.

308
00:14:50,590 --> 00:14:51,720
Pretty much, yeah.

309
00:14:51,850 --> 00:14:53,010
How?

310
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:54,350
See these looped letters?

311
00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:57,020
Curved forms combined
with medium pressure

312
00:14:57,140 --> 00:14:59,690
are usually indicators
of femininity.

313
00:14:59,810 --> 00:15:01,350
Writer was female?

314
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:02,560
Eh, best guess.

315
00:15:02,690 --> 00:15:06,400
Kinda KO's our theory
of a john as the writer.

316
00:15:06,530 --> 00:15:08,700
So who the hell
wrote this letter?

317
00:15:08,780 --> 00:15:11,360
Give me a few hours,
I'll have an answer for you.

318
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,700
What's that tell you?

319
00:15:16,830 --> 00:15:19,330
Ah. Firm.

320
00:15:19,410 --> 00:15:21,170
'Logical..'

321
00:15:22,330 --> 00:15:24,040
Running from something?

322
00:15:25,750 --> 00:15:27,460
(Will)
'So your grandfather
Pierce McClintock'

323
00:15:27,550 --> 00:15:28,340
owned this house?

324
00:15:28,420 --> 00:15:30,220
He passed away ten years ago.

325
00:15:30,300 --> 00:15:32,430
I inherited the house from him.

326
00:15:32,550 --> 00:15:37,310
I can't understand what he has
to do with this woman's murder.

327
00:15:37,390 --> 00:15:39,180
Well, we don't
know either, Ms. Reilly.

328
00:15:39,270 --> 00:15:40,440
That's why we're here.

329
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,520
He was a good man,
my grandfather.

330
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:43,860
Not a murderer.

331
00:15:43,940 --> 00:15:46,360
So you'd agree to volunteer
your DNA to prove that?

332
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,070
I don't need to prove
that to anyone.

333
00:15:48,150 --> 00:15:49,400
We can get a search warrant.

334
00:15:49,530 --> 00:15:51,820
For what,
an old man's knickknacks?

335
00:15:51,910 --> 00:15:54,070
A dead man's diary?

336
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,080
Pierce kept a diary?

337
00:15:57,740 --> 00:16:00,540
After the fire at Baylor's Milk,
Pierce refers to something

338
00:16:00,620 --> 00:16:02,750
called The Fifth Day
in his diary.

339
00:16:02,830 --> 00:16:03,920
(Rush)
'The Fifth Day?'

340
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,670
Mentioned it
a bunch of times.

341
00:16:05,750 --> 00:16:08,420
Don't you dare put
that in your mouth.

342
00:16:08,510 --> 00:16:12,090
(Scotty)
'I like Cheez Whiz on
my cheesesteak. So what?'

343
00:16:12,220 --> 00:16:13,470
(Nick)
'Fifth Day sounds like'

344
00:16:13,590 --> 00:16:15,680
some sort of group
Pierce started.

345
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,890
Guys from the milk place
injured in the fire.

346
00:16:17,970 --> 00:16:19,350
What'd they do?

347
00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:22,020
Doesn't say
but check that entry out.

348
00:16:24,980 --> 00:16:27,070
"May 1939.

told us about?

00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,130
She didn't even pick 'em up.

357
00:16:48,210 --> 00:16:49,750
Look at that coon, will ya?

358
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,550
'Standing there like
she runs the joint.'

359
00:16:53,630 --> 00:16:55,430
Fifth Day oughta
teach her a lesson.

360
00:16:55,510 --> 00:16:58,970
Fifth Day is right. Take that
gleam outta that quiff's eye.

361
00:16:59,060 --> 00:17:02,060
'Go on, Jonesy.
You show her.'

362
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:11,610
Here's your milk.

363
00:17:16,490 --> 00:17:20,620
So maybe Jonesy was
our evil milkman and not Pierce.

364
00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:22,910
No Jonesy listed as
a victim in the fire.

365
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,420
But all them Fifth Day guys got
messed up in the fire, right?

366
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:27,000
So how'd Jonesy
get involved with 'em?

367
00:17:27,130 --> 00:17:29,540
And what's he mean by The Fifth
Day oughta teach her a lesson?

368
00:17:29,670 --> 00:17:31,500
Maybe that's what
their little club did.

369
00:17:31,630 --> 00:17:33,880
'Teach lessons
to women like Sadie.'

370
00:17:34,010 --> 00:17:36,260
Let's check criminal records
for Pierce McClintock.

371
00:17:36,340 --> 00:17:39,140
Maybe his Fifth Day
activities made the books.

372
00:17:39,220 --> 00:17:41,060
Any word on the city
okaying the exhumation?

373
00:17:41,180 --> 00:17:42,180
Hmm..

374
00:17:42,270 --> 00:17:43,680
Kite's been in court all day.

375
00:17:43,770 --> 00:17:46,270
So ask him tonight.

376
00:17:47,650 --> 00:17:48,690
Or tomorrow.

377
00:17:54,610 --> 00:17:58,410
I've called you three
times about this exhumation.

378
00:17:58,530 --> 00:18:00,080
Closing arguments on
the Wicker job.

379
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,540
Besides, you've ignored
a few of my calls lately too.

380
00:18:04,660 --> 00:18:05,620
Been busy.

381
00:18:05,710 --> 00:18:08,290
Well, there you go.
We're both busy.

382
00:18:08,380 --> 00:18:10,710
Anyway, we got direction
on this job--

383
00:18:10,790 --> 00:18:11,920
From '39.

384
00:18:12,050 --> 00:18:13,050
So?

385
00:18:13,130 --> 00:18:14,550
So it's hard to make a case

386
00:18:14,670 --> 00:18:17,510
that the exhumation is pressing,
you know what I mean?

387
00:18:17,590 --> 00:18:20,010
Maybe the judge should meet
the victim's granddaughter.

388
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:21,050
It's pressing to her.

389
00:18:21,140 --> 00:18:22,680
Look, Fisk hasn't gotten to it

390
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,390
but I'm guessing you'll
need more probable cause.

391
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,730
City's strapped for cash.

392
00:18:26,850 --> 00:18:29,310
And this granddaughter
wants answers.

393
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,150
Don't we all?

394
00:18:32,730 --> 00:18:35,860
- How're the cats, anyway?
- 'Good.'

395
00:18:35,940 --> 00:18:38,450
[telephone ringing]

396
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:48,040
Call me.

397
00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:49,920
When you hear from Fisk, I mean.

398
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,420
Sure.

399
00:18:51,540 --> 00:18:53,000
(Scotty)
'Get anything
in criminal records?'

400
00:18:53,090 --> 00:18:55,090
Long rap sheet on Pierce.

401
00:18:55,170 --> 00:18:57,880
Assaults on males
and females, all Black.

402
00:18:57,970 --> 00:18:59,930
Victims claimed they were
attacked by a group

403
00:19:00,050 --> 00:19:01,800
of young White males.

404
00:19:01,890 --> 00:19:03,180
African American History Museum

405
00:19:03,260 --> 00:19:05,770
had a listing
of hate groups in '39.

406
00:19:05,890 --> 00:19:07,890
They list The Fifth Day
as one in Philly.

407
00:19:07,980 --> 00:19:09,350
White supremacists.

408
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,810
Took their name
from the Fifth Day of Creation.

409
00:19:11,940 --> 00:19:13,860
"God said, Let us make man
in our image

410
00:19:13,940 --> 00:19:15,820
"and let him rule
over all the Earth."

411
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:17,940
Meaning the White man of course.

412
00:19:18,030 --> 00:19:19,200
Mission was
to terrorize Blacks

413
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,110
comin' up from the south
looking for jobs.

414
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,120
Every fifth day
they'd go on a rampage.

415
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,410
Beat up some Black person
for the crime of being alive.

416
00:19:26,490 --> 00:19:27,450
Murder part of their game?

417
00:19:27,580 --> 00:19:29,370
Could be. Check it out.

418
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:31,830
The Fifth Day.

419
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,170
Meet Pierce, and
our friend Jonesy.

420
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,550
Jonesy don't look burned.

421
00:19:39,630 --> 00:19:41,590
Could have 'em where
the sun don't shine.

422
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,720
Museum didn't have
last names on these clowns.

423
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,310
ID'd 'em here only by their
monikers or first name.

424
00:19:47,390 --> 00:19:48,520
(Nick)
'We'll keep looking.'

425
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,230
Lilly's still with the ADA?

426
00:19:51,310 --> 00:19:52,520
Our handwriting
expert came back

427
00:19:52,650 --> 00:19:54,400
'With a profile
of the letter writer.'

428
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,360
It was a kid.

429
00:19:58,150 --> 00:19:59,440
The only child
in the boarding house

430
00:19:59,530 --> 00:20:00,820
was the owner's daughter.

431
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:03,370
Ten-years-old
at the time of the murder.

432
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,330
I'll go pick up Lill.

433
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,420
This was
Miss Sadie's favorite room.

434
00:20:27,140 --> 00:20:29,850
My mother took in boarders
during the Depression.

435
00:20:29,930 --> 00:20:32,520
I hear this place
is a bed and breakfast now?

436
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,650
Owners say it was okay
for us to come in.

437
00:20:35,730 --> 00:20:37,360
'Bring you back
to your old home.'

438
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,650
I'm glad no one tore it down.

439
00:20:39,730 --> 00:20:41,820
Did you write
Sadie's letters here?

440
00:20:41,900 --> 00:20:43,860
I wrote them, yes.

441
00:20:43,950 --> 00:20:45,370
But the words were hers.

442
00:20:45,490 --> 00:20:48,200
'Her baby girl meant
the whole world to her.'

443
00:20:48,330 --> 00:20:52,040
Do you remember writing about
a milkman who might hurt Sadie?

444
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:53,370
Jonesy.

445
00:20:54,250 --> 00:20:56,040
I remember him well.

446
00:20:56,170 --> 00:20:57,250
Why?

447
00:20:57,380 --> 00:20:59,500
Because of what
Sadie found in the milk.

448
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,720
[Pierce hooting]

449
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,550

Why did she think
Jonesy would hurt her?

I think it was
her heart she meant.

493
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:10,570
Did they exchange notes
the day she was killed?

494
00:24:10,700 --> 00:24:14,160
Jonesy wanted her
to meet him here that night.

495
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,790
For a proper visit.

496
00:24:16,910 --> 00:24:19,910
Miss Sadie kept
each and every note.

497
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,790
Hid 'em behind the stove
where no one would look.

498
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,330
No one ever found 'em.

499
00:24:24,420 --> 00:24:27,420
- Why not?
- Because I took 'em.

500
00:24:27,550 --> 00:24:29,510
Still have 'em too.

501
00:24:36,010 --> 00:24:38,600
"I was raised
by other people, Sadie.

502
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,640
"Don't even know my own folks."

503
00:24:40,770 --> 00:24:42,270
Jonesy was an orphan?

504
00:24:42,350 --> 00:24:45,270
Maybe check the children's homes
in the area, look for his name.

505
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:46,940
Mm-hmm.

506
00:24:47,070 --> 00:24:48,610
"I'll care for
your little girl

507
00:24:48,730 --> 00:24:50,440
"even if she ain't my own

508
00:24:50,570 --> 00:24:53,030
"'cause she's like me.

00:24:53,110 --> 00:24:56,030
"Every child deserves
to be loved."

510
00:24:57,780 --> 00:25:00,290
He wanted to make
a life with her.

511
00:25:00,410 --> 00:25:01,540
And take her kid in too.

512
00:25:01,620 --> 00:25:03,670
A real 180 from The Fifth Day.

513
00:25:03,790 --> 00:25:05,790
So was Sadie killed
by the man who hated her

514
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,210
or the man who loved her?

515
00:25:07,290 --> 00:25:08,840
Pierce or Jonesy?

516
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,880
Maybe something happened that
night at the boarding house

517
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,550
that turned the tide
of Jonesy's love.

518
00:25:12,630 --> 00:25:14,880
Love can turn on a dime.

(John)
'We know a candyman?'

520
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:21,180
"Do you love me, Sadie,
or do you love the candyman?"

521
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,980
Blanche's husband.

522
00:25:33,610 --> 00:25:36,530
Blanche and I, we..

523
00:25:36,660 --> 00:25:39,030
...just started dating..

524
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,990
...and I, uh..

525
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,580
...had a little crush on Sadie.

526
00:25:43,660 --> 00:25:46,040
Don't you
do this to me, Manross.

527
00:25:46,170 --> 00:25:48,670
We can talk somewhere else if
that would make it easier.

528
00:25:48,790 --> 00:25:51,170
I was young.

529
00:25:51,300 --> 00:25:52,260
Foolish.

530
00:25:52,340 --> 00:25:56,680
Thought I could have
my cake and eat it too.

531
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,680
Sadie never went for it.

532

00:34:22,850 --> 00:34:26,520
Oh, no, she wasn't a prostitute.

709
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,110
'She lived in that house
'cause she had to.'

710
00:34:30,230 --> 00:34:33,360
Times were rough back then.

711
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,360
She didn't make her
living hustlin'?

712
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,700
Sadie was a lady.

713
00:34:39,820 --> 00:34:41,790
I gave her some money
from time to time.

714
00:34:41,870 --> 00:34:44,450
Of course
she couldn't tell anybody

715
00:34:44,540 --> 00:34:46,460
where she was getting it from.

716
00:34:46,540 --> 00:34:48,540
Times being what they were.

717
00:34:48,670 --> 00:34:49,750
Yeah.

718
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,880
And you being in love.

'Who the hell is Sadie?'

720
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,010
You know, her..

721
00:34:59,090 --> 00:35:00,760
...her little girl
ought to know

722
00:35:00,890 --> 00:35:03,390
that her mama was a lady.

'She's dead.'

724
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:07,520

725
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,480
Night of Sadie's murder..

726
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,150
...you wanted her
to leave town with you. Why?

727
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,490
Because they were coming.

728
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,780
(Scotty)
'Who?'

729
00:35:21,910 --> 00:35:23,330
Them.

730
00:35:25,750 --> 00:35:26,910
They were coming.

731
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,500

'So then, I says to her'

732
00:35:29,580 --> 00:35:33,750

but you is black as midnight.

'Oh, that's 'cause he's givin'
her his mornin' milk.'

736

taste of White man's milk.

737

00:35:50,940 --> 00:35:52,480
Ain't that right, Jonesy?

740
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:55,690
- Damn right.
- 'Yeah!'

741
00:35:55,780 --> 00:35:59,280
Fifth Day's rollin',

Tonight!

743
00:36:07,620 --> 00:36:08,830
Sadie?

744
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,790
Sadie! Sadie!

745
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,420
I tried to save her
but she wouldn't go.

746
00:36:15,500 --> 00:36:18,260
I begged her
but she wouldn't go.

747
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,720
And I left.

748
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,260
A man loves a woman,
and leaves her to that?

749
00:36:27,140 --> 00:36:30,020
All this was forever ago.
Why you care now?

750
00:36:30,140 --> 00:36:32,230
Because a woman died..

751
00:36:32,310 --> 00:36:35,150
...and a family
wants to know why.

752
00:36:35,230 --> 00:36:38,440
And because what happens
in the past

753
00:36:38,530 --> 00:36:41,570
never really
goes away, does it?

754
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,450
No, it don't.

755
00:36:46,530 --> 00:36:47,700
My grandpa didn't do nothin'.

756
00:36:50,540 --> 00:36:53,170
Would you volunteer your DNA..

757
00:36:53,250 --> 00:36:54,460
'...to prove that?'

758
00:36:54,540 --> 00:36:57,460
We got a sister lab
here in New York.

759
00:36:57,550 --> 00:36:59,800
It'll take a few minutes
to run your DNA.

760
00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:01,170
And we can go right now.

761
00:37:01,300 --> 00:37:04,840
'He'll do it.'
Right, Grandpa?

762
00:37:06,550 --> 00:37:09,020
I'll get your coat.
He didn't do nothin'.

00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,530

781
00:38:04,070 --> 00:38:05,280

we can make it, Sadie.

- The train to New York is--
- New York?

790
00:38:29,470 --> 00:38:32,180
But my daughter
lives in Virginia.

791
00:38:32,270 --> 00:38:33,640
We'll send for her.

792
00:38:33,770 --> 00:38:35,440
You promised we was gonna
be a family together.

793
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,600
We will, but we gotta go now.

What about her, Jonesy?

That's, uh..

That's your daughter?

me that before.

Why won't you
look at her, Jonesy?

803
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,350
You and me, we can
make it together

804
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:18,650
because no one
will know, Sadie.

805
