1
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,921
In 1945, America's greatest generation
came back from war.
2
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,646
The flags of freedom fly over Europe.
3
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,960
Nazi Germany had been defeated...
4
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,085
...and three months later,
Imperial Japan surrendered as well.
5
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,647
And there's jubilation around this earth.
6
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,169
Men returned home. Among them,
some of baseball's most beloved names.
7
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:07,449
Musial. DiMaggio. Williams.
8
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,251
Life in the United States
could return to normal.
9
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,289
- What's the guy's name?
- What's on second?
10
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:13,840
- Who's on second?
- Who's on first?
11
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:15,086
- I don't know.
- Third base.
12
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,683
And baseball was proof positive
that democracy was real.
13
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,650
A baseball box score, after all,
is a democratic thing.
14
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,531
It doesn't say how big you are
or what religion you follow.
15
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,365
It does not know how you voted
or the color of your skin.
16
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,121
It simply states what kind of ballplayer
you were on any particular day.
17
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:33,924
And he did it. It's a home run.
18
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,923
They knew he'd do it.
19
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,323
African Americans
had served their country gallantly.
20
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,529
They returned home from fighting
to free the world from tyranny...
21
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,526
...only to find racism, segregation
and Jim Crow law still waiting at home.
22
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,047
Segregation was the law...
23
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,443
...and no group was more scrupulous
in its observance of custom...
24
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,170
...than organized baseball.
25
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,760
There was a long road ahead.
26
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,887
If African Americans dreamed
of playing baseball...
27
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,690
...it was not for the Yankees...
28
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,208
...but for teams like the Kansas City
Monarchs of the Negro Leagues...
29
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,001
...where the barnstorming style of play
stood in contrast to the Majors.
30
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,330
In 1946, there were
16 Major League baseball teams...
31
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,882
...with a total of 400 players
on their rosters.
32
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,691
Every one of the 400 players
were white.
33
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:26,529
But when opening day came in 1947,
that number dropped to 399...
34
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,603
...and one man stood apart.
35
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,529
Gentlemen, I have a plan.
36
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,611
Plan's good, Mr. Rickey.
You always have one.
37
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,445
My wife says I'm too old. Heh, heh.
38
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,045
That my health's not up to it.
39
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,121
My son says, uh, everybody in...
40
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,290
Everybody in baseball
is gonna be against me. Heh.
41
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,522
But I'm gonna do it.
42
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,602
Do what, Mr. Rickey?
43
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,808
I'm gonna bring a Negro ballplayer...
44
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,451
...to the Brooklyn Dodgers.
45
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,125
With all due respect, sir,
have you lost your mind?
46
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,406
Think... Think about...
47
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,086
Think about the abuse...
48
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,527
...that you are gonna take
from the newspapers...
49
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,524
...let alone how this is gonna play out
in Flatbush!
50
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,809
Please, Mr. Rickey.
51
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,963
Sit down, Harold.
52
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,491
No law against it, Clyde.
53
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,965
No.
54
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,801
No, but there's a code.
55
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,527
You break a law and get away with it,
some people think you're smart.
56
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,401
You break an unwritten law...
57
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,001
...you'll be an outcast.
58
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,201
Mm-hm.
59
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,364
So be it.
60
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,446
New York's full of Negro baseball fans.
61
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:41,121
Dollars aren't black and white,
they're green.
62
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:43,726
Every dollar's green.
63
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,248
I don't know who he is...
64
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,883
...or where he is...
65
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,643
...but he's coming.
66
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,811
Hey, runner!
67
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,169
Where'd you learn to move like that,
at a dime-a-dance night?
68
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,850
Stand still!
69
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,411
There you are!
70
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:07,881
Ball!
71
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,484
Safe!
72
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,526
Catcher!
73
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,569
When you gonna start throwing for real?
74
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,006
You talking to me?
75
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,162
You got a rag arm, catcher.
76
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,530
Steal home.
You'll find out what kind of arm I got.
77
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,444
Okay.
78
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:25,766
I'm coming.
79
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,764
Where's your shortstop from?
80
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,081
California.
81
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,402
Sure got a mouth on him.
82
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:43,407
Safe!
83
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,769
Discussions
concerning Japan's offer of surrender.
84
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:02,406
Washington, London, Moscow,
and Chungking...
85
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,608
...now framing their decision.
86
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,122
When this decision will be communicated
to Tokyo via the government's...
87
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:10,647
- Fill her up?
- Yes, sir.
88
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,451
- You boys heading out?
- Uh, Chicago.
89
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,409
Chicago, huh? Heh.
90
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,283
- You boys get around.
- Yeah, we sure do.
91
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,563
- Hey. Hey, you, where you going?
- To the toilet.
92
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,410
Hell, come on, boy.
You know you can't go in there.
93
00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:42,123
Them Cokes are a nickel.
94
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,645
Take that hose out of the tank.
95
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,484
- Robinson.
- What?
96
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,969
I said take it out.
97
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,685
We'll get our 99 gallons of gas
someplace else.
98
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,525
All right, then. Go on.
99
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,450
Go on! Use it.
100
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,484
Roy Campanella.
101
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,168
Hell of a player. He's too sweet.
They'd eat him alive.
102
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,810
All right.
103
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,282
Oh, sorry. Oh, wait. Sorry.
104
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,723
- Satchel Paige, then.
- He's too old.
105
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,362
We need a player with a future,
not a past.
106
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,925
Here.
107
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,809
Jack Roosevelt Robinson.
108
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,407
Four-sport college man, out of UCLA.
That means he's played with white boys.
109
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,724
Playing for the Kansas City Monarchs.
110
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,407
Twenty-six years old.
He's batting .350. Three-fifty.
111
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,363
Methodist.
112
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,851
Commissioned Army officer.
113
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,371
He was court-martialed.
114
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,090
He's a troublemaker.
115
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,567
Well, he argues with umpires.
116
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,524
A quick temper is his reputation.
117
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,600
Well, what was he court-martialed for?
118
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,009
Wouldn't sit in the back
of a military bus. Fort Hood, Texas.
119
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,084
Driver asked him to, uh, move back.
120
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,768
MPs had to take him off.
121
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:28,846
There, you see?
122
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,163
I see he resents segregation.
123
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,688
If he were white, we'd call that spirit.
124
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,691
Robinson's a Methodist.
125
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,763
I'm a Methodist. God's a Methodist.
126
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,089
We can't go wrong. Find him.
127
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,404
Bring him here.
128
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:54,600
How are you, fellas?
I'm looking for your, uh, shortstop.
129
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,121
You Jackie Robinson?
130
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,484
Who are you?
131
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:11,926
Mr. Rickey.
132
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,250
What's this about?
133
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,606
This is about baseball, Jackie.
134
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,684
I see you starting in spring
with our affiliate in Montreal.
135
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,968
If you make it there...
136
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,688
...we'll try you down here...
137
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,241
...with the Dodgers.
138
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,966
With the white Brooklyn Dodgers.
139
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:55,523
Hmm.
140
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:58,490
I'll pay you $600 a month.
141
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,762
And a $3500 bonus
when you sign the contract.
142
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:04,967
That agreeable?
143
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,444
- Yes, that's fine but...
- There's one condition.
144
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,770
I know you can hit behind the runner.
That you can read a pitch.
145
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,327
One question is...
146
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,528
...can you control your temper?
147
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:20,487
My temper?
148
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:22,967
Yes, your temper! What are you, deaf?
149
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,726
A black man in white baseball, heh,
can you imagine the reaction?
150
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,008
The vitriol?
151
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,567
Dodgers check into a hotel,
a, uh, a decent, good hotel.
152
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,041
You're worn out from the road.
153
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,926
Some clerk won't give you the pen
to sign in with.
154
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,682
"We got no room for you, boy. Not even
down in the coal bin where you belong."
155
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,811
Team stops at a restaurant.
Waiter won't take your order.
156
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,891
"Didn't you see the sign on the door?
No niggers allowed."
157
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,840
What are you gonna do then?
Fight him? Ruin all my plans?
158
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:06,040
Answer me, you black son of a bitch!
159
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,605
You want a player who doesn't
have the guts to fight back?
160
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:17,725
No.
161
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,605
No.
162
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,088
I want a player who's got the guts
not to fight back.
163
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,767
People aren't gonna like this.
164
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,040
They're gonna do anything
to get you to react.
165
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,125
Echo a curse with a curse
and, uh, they'll hear only yours.
166
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,968
Follow a blow with a blow and they'll say,
"The Negro lost his temper."
167
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,169
That "The Negro does not belong."
168
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,641
Your enemy will be out in force...
169
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,247
...and you cannot meet him
on his own low ground.
170
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,964
We win with hitting, running, fielding.
Only that.
171
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,330
We win if the world is convinced
of two things:
172
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,804
That you are a fine gentleman
and a great baseball player.
173
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,527
Like our Savior...
174
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,162
...you gotta have the guts...
175
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,649
...to turn the other cheek.
176
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,409
Can you do it?
177
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,561
You give me a uniform...
178
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,208
...you give me a, heh,
number on my back...
179
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,362
...and I'll give you the guts.
180
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,446
Hello?
181
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,011
Rae...
182
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,005
Jack.
183
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:08,050
I'm in Brooklyn.
184
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,841
Brooklyn? For what?
185
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,729
Uh...
186
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,804
I don't want to say on the phone.
187
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,682
In fact, I'm not supposed to tell anyone.
188
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,565
What's going on? Aren't you supposed
to be playing in Chicago?
189
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,683
We've been tested, you and me.
190
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,687
We've done everything
the right way. We have.
191
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:41,121
Me trying to make money,
you finishing school.
192
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,724
We don't owe the world a thing.
193
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,611
Only each other.
194
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,566
Jack, what are you talking about?
What is going on? What happened?
195
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,410
Will you marry me, Rae?
196
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,925
Absolutely.
197
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:01,931
Yes. Yes.
198
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:05,607
When?
199
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,524
Um...
200
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:09,762
How about right now?
201
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,048
Did my mom look happy?
202
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,407
Yes. You know your mother loves me.
203
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,282
Did my gram look happy?
204
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,210
Yes.
205
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,211
My brother look happy?
206
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,328
- Heh, your brother?
- Ha, ha.
207
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,968
Everyone looked happy. I've never seen
so many happy-looking people.
208
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,688
Did Jack Robinson look happy?
209
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,689
What if I can't make you happy?
210
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,650
Too late.
211
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,809
You already do.
212
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,488
It's you and me, Rae.
213
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,889
Ooh, ha, ha.
214
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,042
Um...
215
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,767
- Till the wheels fall off.
- Hmm.
216
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,164
Oh, Jack, the world is waiting for us.
217
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,767
The world can wait one more night.
218
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,840
Are you coming, Mrs. Robinson?
219
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,691
I'd follow you anywhere, Mr. Robinson.
220
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,805
Okay.
221
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,124
Okay.
222
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,041
Flight to Pensacola leaves in an hour.
223
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,521
Flight to Pensacola leaves in an hour.
224
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:55,761
"Flight to Pensacola leaves in an hour.
Flight to Pensacola leaves in an hour."
225
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,045
Are you okay?
226
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,682
I've just never seen one before.
227
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,405
Oh.
228
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,690
Yeah, we're not in Pasadena anymore.
229
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:16,885
Rae?
230
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,407
Rae?
231
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,730
Rae!
232
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,642
Oh, boy.
233
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,761
We have to lighten the plane.
234
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,046
There's some bad weather east of here.
235
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,931
A heavy plane is dangerous.
236
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,568
So someone'll have to cancel.
237
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,770
Look, I'm with the Brooklyn Dodger
organization.
238
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,331
I have to get down to Daytona.
239
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,086
I'm supposed to report to spring training
in the morning.
240
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,887
We'll do our best to get you there
by tomorrow, but it might be the day after.
241
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,287
- Jack.
- Right this way.
242
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:07,766
You gave away our seats?
243
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,887
You get us back on that plane.
244
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,201
You get us back on that plane right now.
245
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,923
Do you wanna call the sheriff...
246
00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:21,964
...or should I?
247
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:41,771
Watch your step.
248
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,287
Oop, there he is. There's my boy.
249
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,125
Folks, stand back,
we'll get the bags out.
250
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:56,647
Jackie Robinson.
251
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:00,845
Wendell Smith.
252
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,046
Pittsburgh Courier.
253
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:05,926
A reporter?
254
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,846
Mr. Rickey sent me to meet you.
I'm gonna be your Boswell.
255
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,041
My who?
256
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,486
Your chronicler.
257
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,848
Your advance man.
258
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,487
Hell, even your chauffeur.
259
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:22,971
Mrs. Robinson.
260
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,525
It's Rachel.
261
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,327
Man, you two looked wiped out.
262
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:30,521
You got a car?
263
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,444
Uh-huh.
264
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:39,367
Brooklyn plays downtown.
Montreal just a few blocks from here.
265
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,888
Joe and Duff Harris live here.
266
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,406
He gets out the Negro vote.
He does a lot of good for colored people.
267
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,161
Now, Mr. Rickey set it up himself.
268
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,720
"If the Robinsons can't stay
at the hotels...
269
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,963
...they should stay someplace
that represents something."
270
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,010
You'll stay here all but a few days
at the end of the week...
271
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,927
...when the Dodger organization goes
to Sanford. It's about 45 minutes away.
272
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:20,646
You'll stay here, Rachel.
273
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,844
This'll be your home
when Jackie has to travel.
274
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,609
Uh, where are the other wives staying?
275
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,001
Welcome to Daytona Beach.
276
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,041
- There are no other wives.
- You must be Jackie.
277
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,329
You're the only one that Mr. Rickey
allowed to spring training.
278
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,446
- Thank you.
- Mm-hm. After you.
279
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:44,601
Come on, now, skip.
280
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,768
All right, here we go, boys!
281
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:49,840
- I got it! I got it!
- I got it!
282
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:52,971
That was a pretty big hop, there.
283
00:19:53,120 --> 00:19:54,360
- You got the hop!
- Ha, ha.
284
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,286
Spring training.
It's where we work out our differences.
285
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,645
All right!
286
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,963
You boys continue
to pretend you're ballplayers.
287
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,648
- Morning, Leo.
- Good morning, Mr. Rickey.
288
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:18,766
How are they doing?
289
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,641
They're rusty, but we'll have them
oiled up in no time, ready to go.
290
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,290
Oop.
291
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,049
First day of spring training.
292
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:34,851
Pittsburgh Courier readers need to know
how it feels.
293
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,011
It's okay.
294
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,082
That's not exactly a headline.
295
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,370
It's all I got.
296
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:49,488
Look, Jack, right now,
it's just me asking you.
297
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,843
But there's gonna be The New York Times
and the Sporting News.
298
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,322
- You should think about it.
- If they ask something, I'll answer it.
299
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,124
Okay, well here's one for you:
300
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,886
What if one of these white pitchers
throws at you?
301
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,367
Look, they're gonna try to get under
your skin. You need to be ready.
302
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,329
Listen, listen.
303
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,091
You know...
304
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,083
You know how when you're
at the plate...
305
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,686
...you want to see the ball
come in slow?
306
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,004
You want to see these questions
come in slow too.
307
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,726
Hey, Jackie. Jackie, you think you can
make it with these white boys?
308
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,966
Uh, I had no problems with white men
in the service or at UCLA.
309
00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:37,044
What you gonna do if one of these
pitchers throws at your head?
310
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,725
Yeah, Jack.
311
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,884
- I'll duck.
- Heh, that's a good one.
312
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,042
Hey, Jack, what's your natural position?
313
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:49,203
I've been playing shortstop.
314
00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:51,931
Are you after Pee Wee Reese's job?
315
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:53,724
Uh...
316
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,723
Reese plays for Brooklyn.
317
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,969
I'm still trying to make Montreal.
318
00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:01,647
Hey, Jack.
Hey, Jack, is this about politics?
319
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,046
It's about getting paid.
320
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,249
"About getting paid." Hear what he
said? "it's about getting paid."
321
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:07,526
He's gotta be kidding.
322
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,808
Yeah. Good luck, Hop.
323
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,130
Clay, Jackie Robinson.
324
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,922
Jackie, I'd like you to meet Clay Hopper.
Manager of the Montreal Royals.
325
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,481
Jack. They call me Hop.
326
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,446
Now, we ain't doing much today.
Just tossing the ball around, hitting a few.
327
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,002
You can probably toss with those fellows
over there.
328
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,123
Jorgensen, come here!
329
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,764
You're not playing him at shortstop,
huh, Clay?
330
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,521
Oh, he's getting by on a quick release.
His arm's too weak for short.
331
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,081
I think second base is his spot.
332
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:52,411
I agree.
333
00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:55,725
Clay...
334
00:22:56,360 --> 00:23:01,002
...I need you to get the other players
to act like gentlemen around him.
335
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,049
Treat him like they would
any other teammate.
336
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,281
Hmm, mm-hm.
337
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,087
- Be natural, work together in harmony.
- Mm-hm.
338
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,246
Got the double up!
339
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,131
That was practically superhuman.
340
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,169
Heh, "superhuman"?
341
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,402
I mean, don't get carried away,
Mr. Rickey.
342
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,562
That's still a nigger out there.
343
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,167
Come on in now. Grab a bat. Who's up?
344
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,608
Nice job, boys!
345
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,922
Clay, I realize that attitude
is part of your cultural heritage.
346
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,688
That you practically nursed race prejudice
at your mother's breast...
347
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,888
...so I'll let that go.
348
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,330
But I will tell you this:
349
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:01,168
You will either manage Robinson fairly
and correctly...
350
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,649
...or you, sir, can be unemployed.
351
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,170
Yes, sir.
352
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,366
Let's go! Come on, guys, let's go!
353
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,921
Way to turn two, Jackie.
354
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,208
Well, well, lookie here.
355
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,409
Jackie, I'm Mr. Brock.
356
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,648
Welcome to Sanford, Florida.
357
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,643
Thank you for having us.
358
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,202
The day belongs
to decent-minded people.
359
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,400
- Wendell, always good to see you.
- You as well.
360
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,086
Yeah, well, the wife's inside cooking.
361
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,210
You know what she asked me?
She asked me this morning:
362
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,041
What do you serve when a hero's coming
to dinner?
363
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,409
Heh, um, Mr. Brock, I'm just a ballplayer.
364
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:57,721
Oh, no, no.
365
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,851
You tell that to all the little colored boys
playing baseball in Florida today.
366
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,288
To them, you a hero.
367
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,288
- Here you go, ma'am.
- Thank you, sir.
368
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,086
Here you go.
369
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,720
Scorecards, get your scorecards here!
370
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,765
Scorecards here!
Get your scorecards here!
371
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,804
Ed! You stay where I can see you.
372
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,611
Mom, I'm 10 years old!
373
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,450
Come on.
374
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,449
Welcome to the inner-league
game between the Brooklyn Dodgers...
375
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,211
...and their Minor League affiliate,
the Montreal Royals.
376
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,683
There you go, Pee Wee!
377
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,808
Now coming to bat for the Royals...
378
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,122
...number nine, Jackie Robinson.
379
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,485
Get out of here!
380
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,961
Stand up tall, Jackie!
381
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,561
Get out, nigger!
382
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,326
Jack's got a thick skin. He'll be okay.
383
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,610
Well, how about you?
384
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,005
I better get one in a hurry, heh.
385
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,605
Have pride, Jackie!
386
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,084
Look. Look, there he is,
black as the ace of spades!
387
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,642
Hey, nigger boy!
What are you doing playing baseball?
388
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,040
Hit a home run, Jackie!
389
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,000
Please, God, let Jackie show them
what we can do.
390
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:35,488
- Please.
- All right, now, Jackie Robinson!
391
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:36,766
Let's go, Jackie!
392
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,090
Come on, Jackie!
393
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,367
Ball!
394
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,203
They're giving you a chance!
Do something about it!
395
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,880
Let's go, Higbe!
Shut him down right here!
396
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,290
Ball!
397
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,962
Durocher,
tell him to throw some strikes!
398
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,241
Let him hit!
399
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,890
Come on now, come on now!
400
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,367
He ain't scared of you, Higbe!
401
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,890
You show him, Jackie!
402
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,161
Ball!
403
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,969
Come on, rook.
Ain't you gonna swing at something?
404
00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:46,250
Higbe, just settle down. Let's get
the ball over the plate now, all right?
405
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,404
Ball four!
406
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,126
You stink, Higbe!
407
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,251
It's just a walk.
408
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,688
Ha, ha, who can blame them?
409
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,487
Good job, Jackie.
410
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,610
Now coming to bat for the Royals...
411
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,603
...number 3, Spider Jorgensen.
412
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:19,321
Let's go, Hig!
413
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,289
All right, Higbe, shake it off, there.
414
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,807
We got this, boy. We got this, boy.
Let's do it.
415
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:30,284
Well, throw it over there!
What are you waiting for?
416
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:33,724
Safe!
417
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,970
Come on, pop up, Jack.
418
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,810
Ball one!
419
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,844
Yeah, Jackie!
420
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,809
Heads up, Jack. Get the sign.
421
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:33,960
- He's going!
- Runner! Runner!
422
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,721
- Come on, move!
- Get back!
423
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,604
Get him, Schultzy!
Get him, Schultzy!
424
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,045
Here we go!
425
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,009
What are you gonna do now?
Come on!
426
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,321
Outside! Outside!
427
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,211
On your horse, Bragan!
On your horse! Outside!
428
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,045
- Now!
- Go, Stanky! Go, Stank!
429
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:53,727
Ooh.
430
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,561
Hey, all right!
431
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,248
Hey! Don't you know nothing?
432
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,882
You're supposed to get back
when I step off.
433
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,529
What are you doing? You can dance
with him later! Focus on the plate!
434
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:52,004
Come on, now! Work the plate!
Work the plate!
435
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,127
Come on, Higbe, don't worry about
the runner. Get this guy at the plate.
436
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,206
Timeout!
437
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:10,486
That's a balk.
438
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,808
Runner, take home.
439
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,245
Son of a bitch.
440
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,288
He didn't come to play, he came to kill.
441
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,442
What happened? I don't understand.
442
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,730
The pitcher dropped the ball. It's a balk.
Therefore, Jackie scores.
443
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,484
But he didn't do anything.
444
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,850
Oh, Mama, yes, he did.
He discombobulated the man.
445
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,361
He... What?
446
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,809
Phew.
447
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,401
I hope Jackie's sleeping all right.
448
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,690
Chasing baseballs in the sun all day?
Put me in my grave.
449
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,931
- How they treating him out there?
- Well, they treat him okay.
450
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,248
As far as I can see.
451
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,408
Well, you can find good people
every place.
452
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,127
Even here in Sanford.
453
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:21,685
Is he in there?
454
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,647
Who is it that you're looking for?
455
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,450
The Nigra ballplayer.
456
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,329
Is he in there?
457
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,648
He's asleep right now.
458
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,170
Maybe you wanna come back
in the morning.
459
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:43,767
No, I ain't coming back.
460
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,401
Other fellas is coming.
461
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,807
And they ain't happy
that he's staying here in Sanford...
462
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,930
...playing ball with white boys.
463
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,290
- Now, let me tell you something, sir.
- No, you listen to me, young man.
464
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,802
You best just skedaddle on out of here.
465
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,602
Because if they get here
and he's still here...
466
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,644
...there's gonna be trouble.
467
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:11,930
You understand?
468
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:13,805
Trouble.
469
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,926
Trouble, trouble, trouble.
470
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,291
Mr. Brock.
471
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,648
May I please use your telephone?
472
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,287
Wake him up and get him out of there.
473
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:34,168
Put him in the car and, uh, start driving
to Daytona Beach. Now.
474
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,846
Uh, oh, and, uh, Wendell...
475
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:43,406
...under no circumstances are you
to tell him what this is about, uh...
476
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,766
I don't want him getting it in his head...
477
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,962
...to stay there and fight.
478
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,171
Where's he at?
479
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,085
I don't know.
Think he's getting another one.
480
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,721
Hey, Jim. You escorting
that boy out of town?
481
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,001
Hey, look at this.
482
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:32,764
What's that?
483
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:38,731
What's he want?
484
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,684
Hey, hey, hey!
485
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,170
What the hell, Wendell?
486
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,766
A man came by while you was asleep.
487
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,490
He said more men were coming.
488
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,165
It might have been those fellas.
489
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,011
Mr. Rickey said to get you to Daytona
Beach ASAP.
490
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,530
Why didn't you say so?
491
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,526
Mr. Rickey was afraid you wouldn't leave.
You'd want to stay there and fight.
492
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,766
Man, what in the hell
are you laughing at?
493
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,123
I thought you woke me
because I was cut from the team.
494
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,401
You got a strange sense of humor, man.
495
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,407
Two, two, two! Take him back.
Throw him out now!
496
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:36,847
Safe!
497
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,363
You're too fast for them, Jackie!
498
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,602
All right, way to go. Way to go, boy!
499
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,444
Get that nigger off the field!
500
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,331
Come on, Spider, bring him in. Let's go.
501
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:03,486
We got him.
502
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,209
Four! Four! Four!
503
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,249
- No cut!
- He's running through!
504
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,325
Safe!
505
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,006
Get off the field.
506
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,568
- What?
- Get off the field. Now.
507
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:31,250
- Why?
- Because it's against the law, that's why.
508
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,562
No nigger's gonna play with white boys.
509
00:36:33,720 --> 00:36:35,961
Now you get off the field, or go to jail.
510
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,691
You use that thing,
you better hit me between the eyes.
511
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,121
Hey, hold on, now. What'd he do wrong?
512
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,409
We ain't having no Nigrae mix
with white boys in this town.
513
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:48,087
Y'all ain't up-states now.
They gotta keep separate.
514
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,648
The Brooklyn Dodgers
ain't changing our way of living.
515
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:53,771
Where y'all from, anyhow?
516
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,490
I'm from Greenwood, Mississippi.
517
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,883
Ha, ha, hell, boy,
you ought to know better.
518
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,323
Now, you tell your Nigra I said to git.
519
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:05,321
What did you do?
520
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,805
Oh, I said:
521
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:12,204
"Okay, skipper.
I'm a-gitting, I'm a-gitting, I'm a-gitting.
522
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,283
- You don't want no trouble."
- You did not!
523
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,841
- Yes, I did. Yes, I did.
- Ha, ha.
524
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,322
Then I took a cold shower.
525
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,528
We lost two to one.
526
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:23,921
Aw.
527
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,050
Okay, skipper. I'm a-gitting, I'm a-gitting.
528
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,004
Oh, no, you not getting away from me.
529
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,205
Jack.
530
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,166
Get back, Rae.
531
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,251
I want you to know something.
532
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:40,926
Yeah, what's that?
533
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,490
I want you to know I'm pulling for you
to make good.
534
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,007
A lot of folks around here
feel the same way.
535
00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:52,483
If a man's got the goods,
he deserves a fair chance, that's all.
536
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,205
Ma'am.
537
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:11,400
You wanted to see me, Mr. Rickey?
538
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,084
Bermuda grass grows so well here.
539
00:38:15,240 --> 00:38:18,562
I wish we could get it to grow like this up
in Brooklyn.
540
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:21,725
Yeah.
541
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:25,363
I like the way it smells
when they mow it.
542
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,205
Heh, me too.
543
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,050
Jackie...
544
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:35,041
...it is my pleasure...
545
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,410
...to tell you that you have earned a place
with the Montreal Royals.
546
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:45,568
When they head north on Tuesday
for opening day with Jersey City...
547
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,922
...you'll be on the train.
548
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:52,851
I won't let you down.
549
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,411
Yeah, I know you won't.
550
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,606
If you don't mind,
I'd like to go tell my wife.
551
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,366
Ah, you give her my regards.
552
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:11,607
Mr. Rickey?
553
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,289
Why are you doing this?
554
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,127
I'm in the baseball business.
555
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,289
With you and the other Negro players
I hope to bring up next year...
556
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,967
...I can put together a team
that can win the World Series.
557
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,124
And the World Series means money.
558
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,007
You believe that, don't you?
559
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,081
I don't think it matters what I believe.
560
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:44,930
Only what I do.
561
00:39:45,240 --> 00:39:46,651
Agreed.
562
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,084
Therefore...
563
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,483
...I want you to worry those pitchers
till they come apart.
564
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,642
Run as you see fit.
565
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,371
Sometimes you'll get caught,
but that doesn't matter.
566
00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,648
Ty Cobb got caught plenty.
567
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,485
You just run those bases
like the devil himself.
568
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,849
Put the natural fear of God in them.
569
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,525
Yes, sir.
570
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:15,244
Train for Atlanta
and points north now boarding.
571
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,404
Train for Atlanta and points
north now boarding.
572
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,011
There he is.
573
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,050
All aboard!
574
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,444
Young man.
575
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,602
I can still hear him.
576
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,247
I can still hear him!
577
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,245
Play ball!
578
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,603
And now the lineup
of the visiting Montreal Royals.
579
00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:00,287
Batting first, playing center field,
Marv Rackley.
580
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,445
Batting second, playing second base,
Jackie Robinson.
581
00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:07,087
Batting third, playing left field,
George Shuba.
582
00:42:07,240 --> 00:42:08,765
Hey, you okay?
583
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,410
I think I might be sick.
584
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:12,686
Excuse me, Wendell.
585
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,323
Popcorn! Get your popcorn!
586
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:27,930
You all right, honey?
587
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,649
I'm sick.
588
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,769
Don't know why.
589
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,367
Mm, thank you.
590
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,327
When did you have your monthly last?
591
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,763
It may be that you're pregnant.
592
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:08,320
Now batting for Montreal,
number 9, Jackie Robinson.
593
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,005
Come on, Jack!
594
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:21,845
Come on, Jackie.
595
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,606
- Come on, batter.
- Put it here!
596
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,522
Whoo!
597
00:43:56,720 --> 00:43:58,882
He may be superhuman after all.
598
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:02,689
Way to go.
599
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,283
Oh, Jack.
600
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,445
Yeah.
601
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,443
My daddy left. Heh.
602
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,284
He left us flat...
603
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,203
...in Cairo, Georgia.
604
00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:55,562
I was only six months older
than you are now.
605
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:01,969
I don't remember him.
606
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,762
Nothing good, nothing bad.
607
00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:11,810
Nothing.
608
00:45:14,720 --> 00:45:16,927
You will remember me.
609
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,851
I'm gonna be here with you
till the day I die.
610
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:34,161
Yeah.
611
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,448
Hello, Leo.
612
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,649
What are you doing?
613
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,290
I'm bowling.
614
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:42,169
No, I'm snowshoeing in the Alps.
615
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,005
I'm trying to sleep, Mr. Rickey.
It's still dark out.
616
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,006
Another spring training
is upon us, Leo. In Panama.
617
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,042
I need to know your attitude
towards Jackie Robinson.
618
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,168
I don't got an attitude toward him.
619
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,689
Eight times in the Bible
we're told to love our neighbor as ourself.
620
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,886
It's one of God's
most repeated commands.
621
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,805
Well, I don't know much about the Bible.
622
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,247
But I didn't go to school
just to eat my lunch.
623
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,528
I'll play an elephant
if he can help us win...
624
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,365
...and to make room for him,
I'll send my own brother home.
625
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,170
Oh, what are you gonna do with me?
626
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,529
We're playing for money here.
Winning is the only thing that matters.
627
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,170
Is he a nice guy?
628
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,483
Well, if by nice you mean soft, no.
629
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,722
No, not particularly.
630
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:30,725
Good, he can't afford to be.
631
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,850
- Nice guys finish last.
- And what about nice girls?
632
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,162
So you have no objection to him?
633
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,527
None whatsoever.
Can I go back to sleep now?
634
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:39,806
- Yes.
- All right.
635
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:41,564
- Oh, and Leo.
- What?
636
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:46,085
The Bible has a thing or two
to say about adultery as well.
637
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,723
I'm sure it's got a lot to say about a lot.
Good night.
638
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:53,767
What am I gonna do with you?
639
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:55,604
I thought you knew.
640
00:46:57,240 --> 00:46:59,686
You gonna take care of your mama?
641
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:02,691
No? You better.
642
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:04,405
Mm-hm.
643
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,403
You gonna take care of my mama?
644
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:07,766
Come here, baby.
645
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,127
- There you go.
- Come here, baby, I got you.
646
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:20,889
Promise me you'll write?
647
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,081
When have I ever not written?
648
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:31,290
I want you to know I'm there for you,
even if it's words on paper.
649
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:33,724
Rae...
650
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:35,924
...you're in my heart.
651
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,921
You're getting close now, and the closer
you get, the worse they'll be.
652
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:50,087
Don't let them get to you.
653
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,450
I won't.
654
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,367
God built me to last.
655
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:58,401
Hmm.
656
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:04,081
I'll see you in Brooklyn in eight weeks, oh.
657
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,167
It might be Montreal.
658
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,168
It's gonna be Brooklyn.
659
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,410
I know it is.
660
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,641
Why do you think Rickey's got us playing
spring games here in Panama, huh?
661
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,482
He wants us to get used
to Negro crowds.
662
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,648
He wants more of them
than there are of us.
663
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,009
And he's hoping it'll make us more
comfortable being around Robinson.
664
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:41,924
Ahem. All right, ahem.
665
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,567
Listen up. This is what I got.
666
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,202
"We, the undersigned Brooklyn Dodgers,
will not play ball...
667
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:51,289
...on the same field as
Jackie Robinson."
668
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:52,601
That's right.
669
00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:57,210
Kirby Higbe.
670
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,848
- I'll sign that.
- All right.
671
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,002
Brooklyn Dodger Declaration
of Independence.
672
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:04,366
That's right.
673
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,090
Give me that.
674
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,605
- Y'all sure about this?
- You wanna play ball with a nigger?
675
00:49:28,720 --> 00:49:30,120
Skip's got you out in left?
676
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:31,964
- Yeah, for today.
- Hey, Robinson.
677
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,569
- What do you want me to do with this?
- Well, you play fi49767
