1
00:03:17,872 --> 00:03:21,239
lt was summer, 1948,
and l needed money.
2
00:03:22,343 --> 00:03:24,903
After going door-to-door
all day long...
3
00:03:24,979 --> 00:03:27,379
l was back again at Joppy`s Bar,
trying to figure out...
4
00:03:27,448 --> 00:03:30,542
where l was gonna go lookin` for work
the next day.
5
00:03:30,618 --> 00:03:34,520
The newspapers was goin'
on and on about the city elections...
6
00:03:34,589 --> 00:03:37,183
like they was really gonna change
somebody`s life.
7
00:03:37,258 --> 00:03:40,694
My life had already changed
when l lost my job three weeks before.
8
00:03:41,763 --> 00:03:46,496
For example, one of the white guys
pulls a double shift...
9
00:03:46,567 --> 00:03:48,865
says he's too tired
to work overtime.
10
00:03:48,936 --> 00:03:50,699
You don't fire them.
11
00:03:50,772 --> 00:03:52,831
That's all you have to say?
12
00:04:02,283 --> 00:04:05,411
No, that's not all.
l need--
13
00:04:07,488 --> 00:04:10,252
l need to pay my mortgage and eat.
14
00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:15,217
l need a house to live in. l need
to put clothes on my back, Mr. Qiacomo.
15
00:04:15,296 --> 00:04:19,733
-l need the job.
-Sorry, tella. l gotta get back to work.
16
00:04:23,070 --> 00:04:25,402
- My name's not ''fella.''
- Huh?
17
00:04:29,310 --> 00:04:31,175
My name is Ezekiel Rawlins.
18
00:04:31,913 --> 00:04:33,881
- Catch you later, Joppy.
- Hey!
19
00:04:33,948 --> 00:04:35,575
Watch the marble, damn it!
20
00:04:35,650 --> 00:04:37,379
What l tell you?
21
00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:45,759
Joppy, how much you think they payin'
out there at Douglas Aircratt?
22
00:04:45,827 --> 00:04:50,287
l don't know.

23
00:05:08,783 --> 00:05:13,015
Talk to him.
Yes, sir, you can talk to him.
24
00:05:14,789 --> 00:05:17,349
Easy, come on over here.
25
00:05:17,425 --> 00:05:19,791
l got somebody l want you to meet.
26
00:05:23,831 --> 00:05:26,265
Come on. This here's a triend ot mine.
27
00:05:27,335 --> 00:05:29,963
Yeah, Easy, this is Mr. Albright.
28
00:05:30,037 --> 00:05:31,902
- Call me Dewitt.
- How you doin`?
29
00:05:31,973 --> 00:05:34,669
- l'm all right.
- Take a seat, Easy.
30
00:05:38,012 --> 00:05:42,073
Mr. Albright and me go way back
to betore the war.
31
00:05:43,150 --> 00:05:46,119
Right back when l was
still in the tight game.
32
00:05:46,187 --> 00:05:48,087
- Ever seen this guy tight?
- No.
33
00:05:50,791 --> 00:05:52,986
Every time Joppy Shag
stepped into the ring...
34
00:05:53,060 --> 00:05:57,497
you knew you was gonna see some
real knock-down-drag-out tisticufts.
35
00:05:57,565 --> 00:06:00,193
- Where you from?
- Houston.
36
00:06:02,270 --> 00:06:04,204
That's Joppy's home town.
37
00:06:07,775 --> 00:06:09,299
l hear you need a job.
38
00:06:09,377 --> 00:06:13,438
Oh, yeah.
Easy always tryin' to do better.
39
00:06:13,514 --> 00:06:17,473
He's one ot the tew colored men
around here who owns his own house.
40
00:06:17,551 --> 00:06:20,384
He's payin' the mortgage every month,
just like y'all tolks.
41
00:06:21,455 --> 00:06:23,548
Property owner, huh?
42
00:06:23,624 --> 00:06:26,149
These big companies don't give a damn,
do they, Easy?
43
00:06:26,227 --> 00:06:28,058
l got out of that racket
a long time ago.
44
00:06:28,129 --> 00:06:31,064
Look, it you do need a job,
you drop by this address.
45
00:06:31,132 --> 00:06:35,432
- 7:00 tonight.
- What kind ot work do you do?
46
00:06:39,006 --> 00:06:42,169
l do favors for friends.
47
00:06:43,844 --> 00:06:45,471
Drop by.
48
00:06:49,617 --> 00:06:51,380
Who is that?
49
00:06:51,452 --> 00:06:54,182
Just somebody l know.
Businessman.
50
00:06:54,255 --> 00:06:56,189
- Businessman, huh?
- Yeah, he is.
51
00:06:58,125 --> 00:07:00,184
Ain't nothin' to worry about.
52
00:07:00,261 --> 00:07:03,662
Now, when somebody tell me
''ain`t nothin' to worry about"...
53
00:07:03,731 --> 00:07:06,222
l usually look down
to see if my fly is open.
54
00:07:07,435 --> 00:07:12,737
But all the way home all l could think
about was a chance to make some money.
55
00:07:12,807 --> 00:07:17,540
l first came to Los Angeles when
l got home from the war in Europe...
56
00:07:17,611 --> 00:07:20,774
with $300 in my pocket
and the G.l. Bill.
57
00:07:20,848 --> 00:07:23,578
Like me, a lot of folk
from Texas and Louisiana...
58
00:07:23,651 --> 00:07:25,812
had moved out to California
to get them good jobs...
59
00:07:25,886 --> 00:07:28,650
in the shipyards
and in the aircraft companies.
60
00:07:28,723 --> 00:07:30,714
Hey, Willy!
61
00:07:30,791 --> 00:07:34,386
Now me, myself--
l was a machinist.
62
00:07:34,462 --> 00:07:38,660
And the first thing l did when l saved
enough money was to buy me a house.
63
00:07:40,801 --> 00:07:43,497
Man, l loved comin` home
to my house.
64
00:07:43,571 --> 00:07:47,234
l don't know. l guess maybe
l just loved ownin` something.
65
00:07:50,344 --> 00:07:52,278
How ya doin'?
66
00:07:58,352 --> 00:08:00,843
- l'm gonna knock down some trees--
- No, leave my trees alone.
67
00:08:00,921 --> 00:08:02,855
- But it ain't gonna take but five--
- Leave my--
68
00:08:02,923 --> 00:08:04,857
Qet on!
69
00:08:26,881 --> 00:08:30,647
l was feelin` pretty desperate
that evening.
70
00:08:30,718 --> 00:08:33,016
ln a week l`d be two months behind
on my mortgage...
71
00:08:33,087 --> 00:08:36,147
and, no, sir,
l wasn't about to lose my house.
72
00:08:36,223 --> 00:08:38,487
But a chill runnin` up the back
of my neck...
73
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,959
was tellin` me
l was about to make a bad decision.
74
00:08:42,029 --> 00:08:44,827
Yeah, Albright made me nervous.
75
00:08:44,899 --> 00:08:48,027
He reminded me of a fellow l knew
back in Texas named Mouse.
76
00:08:48,102 --> 00:08:49,933
Drive to this train yard
and let`s dump this--
77
00:08:50,004 --> 00:08:52,063
l thought you said this was your
friend's car? What did you do, Mouse?
78
00:08:52,139 --> 00:08:54,801
- Just drive this son of a bitch.
- What did you do?
79
00:09:19,467 --> 00:09:20,900
So...
80
00:09:23,904 --> 00:09:25,599
want the job?
81
00:09:25,673 --> 00:09:30,633
lt depends on what kind of job it is.
l don't wanna get mixed up in nothin'.
82
00:09:32,313 --> 00:09:34,247
Walk out the door in the mornin'...
83
00:09:35,449 --> 00:09:37,076
you're mixed up in somethin'.
84
00:09:38,686 --> 00:09:41,484
Only thing matters if you're
mixed up to the top or not.
85
00:09:41,555 --> 00:09:44,547
l'm just lookin' tor somebody
tor a triend.
86
00:09:45,526 --> 00:09:46,959
Daphne Monet.
87
00:09:48,095 --> 00:09:49,960
Fiancee of Todd Carter.
88
00:09:50,030 --> 00:09:52,021
She been gone two weeks.
89
00:09:52,099 --> 00:09:55,159
lt upset the poor man so much
he stopped runnin' for mayor.
90
00:09:55,236 --> 00:09:58,296
l never laid eyes on her.
91
00:09:58,372 --> 00:10:00,840
That's a shame.
92
00:10:00,908 --> 00:10:04,537
See, Daphne has a predilection
for the company ot Negroes.
93
00:10:04,612 --> 00:10:07,706
She likes jazz and pig's feet
and dark meat, know what l mean?
94
00:10:10,117 --> 00:10:11,709
Predilection, yeah.
95
00:10:12,786 --> 00:10:14,219
Yeah.
96
00:10:15,689 --> 00:10:18,351
l'd go lookin' for her myselt...
97
00:10:18,425 --> 00:10:20,859
but l'm not the right persuasion,
so to speak.
98
00:10:21,929 --> 00:10:24,989
- What you want from me?
- What do you mean?
99
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,664
- What do you want me to do?
- Just get a location on her.
100
00:10:30,971 --> 00:10:32,939
Mr. Carter wants to make up with her.
101
00:10:34,074 --> 00:10:36,269
Hundred dollars.
102
00:10:36,343 --> 00:10:39,107
l pay in advance.
103
00:10:44,118 --> 00:10:46,951
Hundred dollars.
104
00:10:47,021 --> 00:10:48,955
All l got to do
is tell you where she's at?
105
00:10:49,023 --> 00:10:51,287
- That's right.
- And that's all?
106
00:10:51,358 --> 00:10:53,485
That's all.
107
00:10:53,561 --> 00:10:56,928
Joppy tells me you used to trequent
an illegal club at 89th and Central.
108
00:10:56,997 --> 00:10:58,089
John's.
109
00:10:58,165 --> 00:11:00,690
Somebody saw Daphne there
a tew nights ago.
110
00:11:01,702 --> 00:11:03,226
You could start tonight.
111
00:11:18,986 --> 00:11:21,318
Whoa! That's enough.
Thank you.
112
00:11:21,388 --> 00:11:23,322
- See you later, man.
- All right.
113
00:11:23,390 --> 00:11:24,823

00:12:21,815 --> 00:12:25,546
l just paid these damn cops oft, and
they're out there rousting my customers.

You're the only Negro in America

The last time l heard these tellas
playin' was back in Houston.
139
00:13:11,932 --> 00:13:14,366
Nice old buddy Mouse
had to pull me up otf your ass.
140
00:13:14,435 --> 00:13:17,427
- That's the way you remember it?
- Hell, that's the way it was.
141
00:13:17,504 --> 00:13:19,062
Look here.

Man, come on.
Qet oft that.

00:13:34,054 --> 00:13:36,682
Just like you didn't

00:13:36,757 --> 00:13:39,624
Hey, Easy. Did you help him
kill his stepbrother too?

gave you your job back, right?
167
00:15:19,226 --> 00:15:22,286
All you had to do was go down there

He used to play till the cock crowed.

00:16:44,678 --> 00:16:48,239
That old cock don't crow

Coretta, your man is in the next room.
211
00:18:59,212 --> 00:19:01,772
Why don't you tell me
about your friend Daphne?
212
00:19:01,848 --> 00:19:03,406
Why do keep asking about her?
213
00:19:08,021 --> 00:19:11,047
Colored woman ain't good enough
for you no more, huh?
214
00:19:11,124 --> 00:19:14,184

- Not the way things is.

226
00:19:57,704 --> 00:19:59,934
Come on, now. Dupree right there

227
00:20:00,006 --> 00:20:02,497
Forget about Dupree, baby.

228
00:20:02,576 --> 00:20:04,237
lt ain't right!
229
00:20:04,311 --> 00:20:06,541
Here l am doin' this
right in the next room!
230
00:20:06,613 --> 00:20:09,377
All you doin' is nosin'
atter my friend Daphne.
231
00:20:11,885 --> 00:20:13,318
Oh! Yeah. No, baby!
232
00:20:13,386 --> 00:20:15,183
- That just a job.
- What job?
233
00:20:15,255 --> 00:20:16,984
- Some man want me to find her.
- What man?
234
00:20:17,057 --> 00:20:19,218
l don't know what man, baby!
235
00:20:19,292 --> 00:20:21,954
l don't want nobody but you !
236
00:20:22,028 --> 00:20:23,689
Baby.
237
00:20:23,764 --> 00:20:25,197
Yeah.
238
00:20:31,872 --> 00:20:36,468
Daphne's my triend.
l can't do it.
239
00:20:47,988 --> 00:20:51,082
Just a little bit more, okay?
Just a little bit.
240
00:20:52,592 --> 00:20:54,560
Just a little bit, baby.
241
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,969
Oh, that's it.
242
00:21:03,036 --> 00:21:05,527
- Oh, you hittin' my spot.

243
00:21:06,573 --> 00:21:08,507
You hittin' my spot.
244
00:21:09,743 --> 00:21:12,234
- That's it, daddy.
- Yeah, that's it.
245
00:21:13,313 --> 00:21:16,680
And l went on hittin` her spot
until just before sunup.
246
00:21:18,652 --> 00:21:22,611
l realized later on Coretta had found
up as much about what l was up to...
247
00:21:22,689 --> 00:21:25,249
as l had found out about Daphne Monet.
248
00:21:25,325 --> 00:21:29,728
As it turned out, Todd Carter
wasn`t the only man in Daphne`s life.
249
00:21:29,796 --> 00:21:32,458
She was also shackin` up with some
small-time colored gangster...
250
00:21:32,532 --> 00:21:34,363
named Frank Green.
251
00:21:34,434 --> 00:21:37,494
And Coretta had the nerve
to charge me $10 for that information.
252
00:21:37,571 --> 00:21:40,005
See, everybody was in business
in Los Angeles.
253
00:21:42,509 --> 00:21:44,943
l spent that morning
waiting for Albright to call...
254
00:21:45,011 --> 00:21:48,003
and tryin` to feel good
about being able to pay a few bills.
255
00:21:48,081 --> 00:21:49,946
And l mean just a few.
256
00:21:50,016 --> 00:21:53,417
Shoot. A loaf of bread
was damned near 15 cents.
257
00:21:53,486 --> 00:21:56,250
lt was easy money. Too easy.
258
00:21:57,657 --> 00:21:59,750
Bye, Easy.
259
00:21:59,826 --> 00:22:02,556

All she wants to do is make out

00:28:03,957 --> 00:28:05,925
- Mr. Rawlins, l'm Detective Miller.
- Mason.
335
00:28:05,992 --> 00:28:07,892
-What?
-Turn around, put your hands on the car.
336
00:28:07,961 --> 00:28:09,485
- We'd like you to come with us.
- Where?
337
00:28:09,562 --> 00:28:11,223
- You'll see.
- Why are you arrestin' me?
338
00:28:11,297 --> 00:28:13,993
- You'll see.
- l got a right to know why.
339
00:28:14,067 --> 00:28:15,898
You got a right to break your face.
340
00:28:15,969 --> 00:28:17,903
You got a right to come with me.
Come on.
341
00:28:23,243 --> 00:28:24,972
That guy over there?
342
00:28:25,044 --> 00:28:27,478
- You got him, huh?
- Yeah. We got him coming home.
343
00:28:42,829 --> 00:28:44,797
We can take those cutfs otf
if you want to cooperate.
344
00:28:44,864 --> 00:28:47,628
- Yes, sir. l'm cooperating.
- Turn around.
345
00:28:51,838 --> 00:28:53,829
Sit over there. Sit down.
346
00:28:57,310 --> 00:28:58,777
Now.
347
00:28:58,845 --> 00:29:01,336
Where were you this morning
about 5:00 AM?
348
00:29:01,414 --> 00:29:05,214
- What do you mean?
- He means this morning.
349
00:29:06,953 --> 00:29:11,481
l was out drinking.
l carried a friend into his house.
350
00:29:11,557 --> 00:29:14,219
l could have been on my way home.
l ain't look at no clock.
351
00:29:17,196 --> 00:29:19,756
You were drinking
at an illegal club called John's.
352
00:29:19,832 --> 00:29:22,232
- What is goin` on?
- You may as well answer.
353
00:29:22,302 --> 00:29:24,668
We got a lot bigger troubles
than bustin' some illegal bar.
354
00:29:24,737 --> 00:29:26,170
l don't know what you're talking about!
355
00:29:26,239 --> 00:29:29,003
We're talking about taking
your black ass behind the station...
356
00:29:29,075 --> 00:29:32,067
and putting a bullet in there,
that's what we're talking about.
357
00:29:32,145 --> 00:29:33,908
Sit down.
358
00:29:40,119 --> 00:29:42,349
What time did you leave
Coretta James' house?
359
00:29:42,422 --> 00:29:44,322
Around 5:00, 5:30, l guess.
360
00:29:44,390 --> 00:29:46,722
- You go back later in the day?
- No, sir. l didn't.
361
00:29:46,793 --> 00:29:49,557
Did you and Dupree Brouchard
have words over Miss James?
362
00:29:49,629 --> 00:29:51,256
- Words?
- You heard him!
363
00:29:51,331 --> 00:29:52,855
Did you two argue over Coretta James?
364
00:29:52,932 --> 00:29:54,160
- We didn't argue--
- Did you argue over Coretta James?
365
00:29:54,233 --> 00:29:56,758
We didn't argue about nothin'!
He was asleep!
366
00:29:56,836 --> 00:30:00,738
Yeah. She went to sleep too.
But she`s not gonna be waking up.
367
00:30:01,641 --> 00:30:03,802
- What?
- Where did you go when you left her?
368
00:30:03,876 --> 00:30:06,276
Wait! What you talkin' about--
''she ain't gonna be waking up''?
369
00:30:06,346 --> 00:30:09,509
- Where did you go?
- l don't know. l had a hangover.
370
00:30:09,582 --> 00:30:12,016
- Oh, you had a hangover?
- Yeah, l went home!
371
00:30:12,085 --> 00:30:13,575
That explains everything.
372
00:30:13,653 --> 00:30:15,416
He went home.
He had a hangover.
373
00:30:16,856 --> 00:30:19,723
Back ott!
374
00:30:19,792 --> 00:30:21,726
- Here!
- No! Qet out ot here!
375
00:30:21,794 --> 00:30:24,024
- Let me at him!
- Go! Get out!
376
00:30:24,097 --> 00:30:25,223
- Qet out ot here!
- Let me go!
377
00:30:25,298 --> 00:30:28,233
- Come on, you son ot a bitch!
- Qet out! Goddamn!
378
00:30:28,301 --> 00:30:30,565
- Calm down !
- All right.
379
00:30:30,636 --> 00:30:33,036
You son of a bitch.
380
00:30:45,885 --> 00:30:48,786
They left me alone in that musty room
another three hours...
381
00:30:48,855 --> 00:30:53,155
till some guy in a suit two sizes
too big for him said l could go.
382
00:30:54,594 --> 00:30:57,119
The game of cops and niggers
kept up outside the station...
383
00:30:57,196 --> 00:30:58,823
but l hardly even noticed.
384
00:31:00,333 --> 00:31:02,767
l had seen dead bodies before:
385
00:31:02,835 --> 00:31:06,601
cold, hard,
still as concrete...
386
00:31:06,672 --> 00:31:08,970
their eyes wide open,
starin` up at nothin`.
387
00:31:10,476 --> 00:31:12,808
But not Coretta.
388
00:31:12,879 --> 00:31:15,074
l could still feel her heart beating.
389
00:31:32,598 --> 00:31:34,532
Hold on, Ezekiel.
390
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,329
Somebody in the back
would like to talk to you.
391
00:31:36,402 --> 00:31:38,597
Look, l ain't got time right now.
392
00:31:38,671 --> 00:31:40,605
Qet in. We'll take you.
393
00:31:48,481 --> 00:31:51,109
My boss wants to talk to you
about Coretta James.
394
00:31:55,788 --> 00:31:59,849
Listen, it l wanted to hurt you,
it would have happened already.
395
00:31:59,926 --> 00:32:01,894
Come on.
396
00:32:02,962 --> 00:32:03,894
Get in.
397
00:32:31,724 --> 00:32:34,022
You wanna go up tront
and sit with Norman?
398
00:32:34,093 --> 00:32:36,027
Okay, give me a kiss.
399
00:32:43,236 --> 00:32:45,431
That's my adopted son Jesus.
400
00:32:47,707 --> 00:32:49,902
l can see the police
roughed you up a bit.
401
00:32:51,777 --> 00:32:55,372
That`s a practice ot theirs
that has to change.
402
00:32:55,448 --> 00:32:57,416
- That has to change.
- Thank you.
403
00:32:58,384 --> 00:33:00,614
She was beaten...
404
00:33:00,686 --> 00:33:04,383
and died of a heavy blow
to the back of the head.
405
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,887
- But l suppose you already know that.
- No l didn't, Mr. Terell.
406
00:33:10,963 --> 00:33:14,194
- Oh, you know who l am?
- Well, l read the newspapers.
407
00:33:14,267 --> 00:33:16,462
l know you running tor mayor
against Todd Carter.
408
00:33:16,536 --> 00:33:19,232
l am the next mayor, Mr. Rawlins.
409
00:33:19,305 --> 00:33:22,274
And luckily tor you,
a triend ot the Negro.
410
00:33:23,376 --> 00:33:25,241
Coretta worked tor a while tor me.
411
00:33:25,311 --> 00:33:29,907
She answered phones at
my campaign office on 103rd and Western.
412
00:33:29,982 --> 00:33:33,918
So when l heard that
the police had a suspect...
413
00:33:33,986 --> 00:33:37,888
l got out ot bed immediately,
personally, because ot my concern.
414
00:33:40,226 --> 00:33:42,626
Was there anyone with you, Mr. Rawlins?
415
00:33:43,629 --> 00:33:47,588
- Anyone besides Mr. Dupree Brouchard?
- No, sir.
416
00:33:47,667 --> 00:33:51,000
A young lady named Daphne Monet perhaps?
417
00:33:55,408 --> 00:33:56,841
Nobody.
418
00:33:57,710 --> 00:34:00,235
Ot course not. Why would--
419
00:34:00,313 --> 00:34:05,410
Why would you tell someone
whom you've only just met?
420
00:34:07,653 --> 00:34:11,987
- You can trust me, Mr. Rawlins.
- There was nobody else there.
421
00:34:15,861 --> 00:34:17,920
l believe you.
422
00:34:17,997 --> 00:34:19,965
- Can we drop you oft at your--
- No.
423
00:34:20,032 --> 00:34:22,762
l mean, l can get out here.
424
00:34:22,835 --> 00:34:25,030
Are you sure?
This must be quite out ot your way.
425
00:34:25,104 --> 00:34:27,038
lt's okay.
426
00:34:33,212 --> 00:34:35,373
May l ofter you cab tare?
427
00:34:36,916 --> 00:34:39,282
- No, thank you.
- Are you sure?
428
00:34:39,352 --> 00:34:40,614
lt's okay.
429
00:35:11,283 --> 00:35:14,116
Oh, you're hittin` my spot!
430
00:35:15,655 --> 00:35:18,920
Daphne asleep by now. So--
431
00:35:20,059 --> 00:35:23,085
Go around here
tellin' everybody "Dahlia. "
432
00:35:23,162 --> 00:35:25,562
Colored woman ain`t good enough
for you no more, huh?
433
00:35:28,467 --> 00:35:31,197
All you doin`
is sniffin` after my friend Daphne.
434
00:35:31,270 --> 00:35:34,535
Colored woman ain`t good enough
for you no more, huh?
435
00:35:38,878 --> 00:35:40,311
Man!
436
00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:50,712
Hello. ls this Mr. Rawlins?
437
00:35:50,790 --> 00:35:52,621
Yeah. Who's this?
438
00:35:52,692 --> 00:35:54,922
This is Daphne Monet.
439
00:35:56,696 --> 00:35:58,630
You`re looking for me.
440
00:35:58,698 --> 00:36:00,461
Who told you that?
441
00:36:00,533 --> 00:36:03,058
You know who told me.
442
00:36:03,135 --> 00:36:05,729
Coretta.
443
00:36:05,805 --> 00:36:07,830
She was found murdered this morning.
444
00:36:10,476 --> 00:36:12,808
l don't know what l should do.
445
00:36:12,878 --> 00:36:14,709
Would you care to talk to me alone?
446
00:36:14,780 --> 00:36:16,771
Or is this something
l should call the police about?
447
00:36:16,849 --> 00:36:19,317
No, ain't no reason to call the police.
448
00:36:19,385 --> 00:36:21,945
Then why don`t you come over
and explain yourself to me.
449
00:36:23,022 --> 00:36:24,956
l`m at the Ambassador Hotel.
450
00:36:26,058 --> 00:36:28,322
This part of the hotel
is white only...
451
00:36:28,394 --> 00:36:30,191
so go to the side entrance
in half an hour...
452
00:36:30,262 --> 00:36:32,492
and Louis the bellboy will sneak you up.
453
00:37:03,596 --> 00:37:05,996
Hello, Mr. Rawlins.
454
00:37:06,065 --> 00:37:08,659
Hello, Miss Monet.
455
00:37:11,270 --> 00:37:13,363
l don't know it l should think ot you
as a friend of Coretta's...
456
00:37:13,439 --> 00:37:15,430
or as a private dick.
457
00:37:17,476 --> 00:37:20,240
l ain't no detective.
458
00:37:20,312 --> 00:37:23,839
l was just hired by a tellow
that works tor Todd Carter.
459
00:37:26,952 --> 00:37:29,648
You know l had to pay Coretta
not to tell you where l was?
460
00:37:29,722 --> 00:37:31,713
Oh, she got you too?
461
00:37:36,695 --> 00:37:39,687
Yeah, well, she detinitely
gave me the wrong address.
462
00:37:39,765 --> 00:37:41,756
Where did she say l was?
463
00:37:41,834 --> 00:37:44,803
Said you was out in Watts
over to the Skylar Arms Apartments...
464
00:37:44,870 --> 00:37:46,462
with a tellow named Frank Qreen.
465
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,374
What else did she tell you about me?
466
00:37:51,277 --> 00:37:53,142
What else is there to tell?
467
00:37:53,212 --> 00:37:55,237
Nothing.
468
00:37:55,314 --> 00:37:57,373
l make no apology
tor my teelings for Frank.
469
00:37:57,449 --> 00:37:59,610
He's very dear to me,
and that's that.
470
00:37:59,685 --> 00:38:02,483
- Bourbon?
- Please. Straight up.
471
00:38:04,623 --> 00:38:07,456
So how well did you know Coretta?
472
00:38:07,526 --> 00:38:10,051
She was a very close triend.
473
00:38:10,129 --> 00:38:12,757
So maybe you know why
she got killed?
474
00:38:15,868 --> 00:38:18,268
Why would l know that?
475
00:38:18,337 --> 00:38:21,204
She was a very close triend.
She knew about you and Frank.
476
00:38:21,273 --> 00:38:23,104
Maybe somebody wanted
to keep that a secret.
477
00:38:25,110 --> 00:38:29,046
- Mr. Rawlins, it you're thinking--
- You can call me Easy.
478
00:38:29,114 --> 00:38:31,708
Easy, if you think Frank had anything
to do with Coretta's death...
479
00:38:31,784 --> 00:38:34,480
then obviously you don't know
very much about him.
480
00:38:35,621 --> 00:38:37,680
Frank doesn't go around
beating people up.
481
00:38:37,756 --> 00:38:39,690
He preters a knife as his weapon.
482
00:38:40,893 --> 00:38:43,259
And what do you preter to use
as your weapon?
483
00:38:47,733 --> 00:38:50,759
Why don't you search me and find out?
484
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,289
Mind it l have another drink?
485
00:39:17,830 --> 00:39:19,422
Help yourselt.
486
00:39:24,436 --> 00:39:26,734
- Listen, Mr. Rawlins--
- Easy.
487
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,305
The real reason l called you is l'd like
you to drive me to Todd's house.
488
00:39:33,145 --> 00:39:34,578
Beg your pardon?
489
00:39:35,514 --> 00:39:39,177
You tound me, and now l want you
to take me to Todd Carter's.
490
00:39:40,185 --> 00:39:42,278
Why don't you call Todd Carter,
have him send tor you?
491
00:39:43,589 --> 00:39:47,025
Well, l have to go someplace else
on the way--
492
00:39:47,092 --> 00:39:50,323
someplace that l don't want
Todd to know about.
493
00:39:55,401 --> 00:39:57,665
There's a man named Richard McQee...
494
00:39:57,736 --> 00:39:59,829
and he lives up in Laurel Canyon.
495
00:39:59,905 --> 00:40:01,839
He delivered a letter of mine
to the wrong place...
496
00:40:01,907 --> 00:40:04,375
and now l need to make arrangements
to get it back.
497
00:40:04,443 --> 00:40:07,139
At 4:00 in the morning?
498
00:40:07,212 --> 00:40:08,873
Must be a pretty important letter.
499
00:40:08,948 --> 00:40:10,540
Yes, it is.
500
00:40:11,750 --> 00:40:14,446
But l need to go there
before l go to Todd's.
501
00:40:15,587 --> 00:40:18,112
l'll pay you.
502
00:40:19,458 --> 00:40:21,187
What time you talk to Coretta
this morning?
503
00:40:24,063 --> 00:40:26,554
l don't know-- 7:30, 8:00, l guess.
504
00:40:26,632 --> 00:40:28,759
Listen, Easy. l don't--
505
00:40:30,336 --> 00:40:32,201
l don't want to talk about
Coretta just now.
506
00:40:32,271 --> 00:40:33,863
Did you go up to her house?
507
00:40:45,951 --> 00:40:48,818
She called me.
508
00:40:50,656 --> 00:40:52,214
She was in a good mood.
509
00:40:54,093 --> 00:40:55,720
She always--
510
00:40:56,562 --> 00:40:58,996
l didn`t mean to upset you.
511
00:40:59,865 --> 00:41:01,662
You understand?
512
00:41:01,734 --> 00:41:05,170
As tar as l know, you was the last one
to talk to her betore she got killed.
513
00:41:05,237 --> 00:41:08,263
l don't mean to upset you.
514
00:41:08,340 --> 00:41:11,275
But as tar as l know, you were the last
one with her before she got killed.
515
00:41:13,345 --> 00:41:15,677
Now where does that leave us?
516
00:41:24,089 --> 00:41:28,082
Why don't you go change out of that
housecoat? l'll carry you on over there.
517
00:41:41,874 --> 00:41:44,468
- Are you nervous?
- Nervous.
518
00:41:44,543 --> 00:41:46,807
Here l was in the middle of the night
in a white neighborhood...
519
00:41:46,879 --> 00:41:48,779
with a white woman in my car.
520
00:41:48,847 --> 00:41:51,611
No, l wasn`t nervous.
l was stupid.
521
00:41:52,684 --> 00:41:54,618
You make a left up here.
522
00:41:54,686 --> 00:41:59,180
Gettin` Daphne back to Todd Carter
all of sudden didn`t seem so easy.
523
00:41:59,258 --> 00:42:01,419
Who was this guy Richard McGee?
524
00:42:01,493 --> 00:42:03,654
Just park behind that car.
525
00:42:10,536 --> 00:42:13,198
l`ll see you later, pop.
526
00:42:13,272 --> 00:42:15,672

That`s all l've been hearing for a week!
527
00:42:15,741 --> 00:42:17,800

00:42:25,751 --> 00:42:27,343
Oh, hello, dear.

536
00:42:42,568 --> 00:42:45,901

but you`re sittin` in it.
537
00:42:45,971 --> 00:42:47,996
Oh, Riley!
Guess what Sid and l have been playing.
538
00:43:29,314 --> 00:43:32,112
Oh, my God!
539
00:45:11,550 --> 00:45:13,017
Who`s that at the door?
540
00:45:13,085 --> 00:45:15,212
- lt's him.
- Oh, yeah?
541
00:45:15,287 --> 00:45:17,221

00:45:19,591 --> 00:45:21,855
What you doin' in my house, man?
543
00:45:22,928 --> 00:45:25,362
What happened to your head?
544
00:45:25,430 --> 00:45:30,197
What the hell y'all doin' in my house?
You got no right to break into my house!
545
00:45:31,270 --> 00:45:32,862

546
00:45:32,938 --> 00:45:36,396
Hey, l went to see a girl.
Why? You don't get none, Albright?
547
00:45:36,475 --> 00:45:39,774
l didn't come here to play, nigger.
548
00:45:42,648 --> 00:45:45,048
That's my money you got in your pocket.
549
00:45:45,117 --> 00:45:47,745
We've been by that address
you gave me on Frank Green.
550
00:45:47,819 --> 00:45:51,050
He had moved trom there a year ago.
551
00:45:51,123 --> 00:45:53,819
What do you want me to do about it?
You don't like the way l'm doin' my job?
552
00:45:53,892 --> 00:45:56,224
Hell, l'll give you your money--
553
00:45:56,295 --> 00:45:58,593

- She--

558
00:46:11,410 --> 00:46:14,504
She called me. She had me
to carry her up to the Hollywood Hills.
559
00:46:14,579 --> 00:46:17,207
- Where is she now?
- She took otf.
560
00:46:17,282 --> 00:46:18,909
Bullshit. Where is she now?
561
00:46:19,985 --> 00:46:22,010
She took ott.
562
00:46:22,087 --> 00:46:24,920
There's a dead man up there.
While l was lookin' at it she took otf.
563
00:46:33,332 --> 00:46:35,266
Come on in.
564
00:46:40,772 --> 00:46:42,706
Sit down.
565
00:46:49,514 --> 00:46:53,109
- What she do, take his car?

00:46:53,185 --> 00:46:54,812

567
00:46:54,886 --> 00:46:57,878
lf you can write,

568
00:47:00,125 --> 00:47:02,059
Write it down.
569
00:47:16,308 --> 00:47:20,802
This bologna gets stuck in my molar.
570
00:47:20,879 --> 00:47:22,813

571
00:47:25,884 --> 00:47:27,476

He's got balls.
You gotta give him that.

00:47:40,565 --> 00:47:43,261
Shoot him.
l'm just kidding.
575
00:47:53,412 --> 00:47:55,346
Easy, you're a brave man.
576
00:47:55,414 --> 00:47:57,746

577
00:47:57,816 --> 00:48:01,752
You're doin' a nice job too, but--
Qive me a whiskey, Manny.
578
00:48:03,355 --> 00:48:05,619
You gotta tind Frank Qreen

579
00:48:05,690 --> 00:48:07,658
No, thank you.
580
00:48:08,894 --> 00:48:11,624
Too may people getting killed

00:48:13,231 --> 00:48:14,664
Thanks.
582
00:48:17,803 --> 00:48:20,169
You're connectable to two murders.
583
00:48:23,408 --> 00:48:25,899
You're gonna do
whatever l tell you to do.
584
00:48:27,879 --> 00:48:30,370
You tind him.
l will be checking in.
585
00:48:37,255 --> 00:48:40,088
That's some cheap shit.
Let's go.
586
00:48:40,158 --> 00:48:42,092
Come on.
587
00:48:57,642 --> 00:48:59,906
Since Albright liked surprise parties...
588
00:48:59,978 --> 00:49:03,345
l had a friend of my own
l wanted to invite.
589
00:49:03,415 --> 00:49:06,646
l placed a call
to Etta Mae Alexander in Houston.
590
00:49:06,718 --> 00:49:09,881
Told her to get a message
to her husband, Mouse.
591
00:49:19,865 --> 00:49:23,266
Cast your vote for Matthew Terell.
592
00:49:31,910 --> 00:49:36,438
Cast your vote on June 11
for Matthew Terell.
593
00:49:55,033 --> 00:49:56,967
Hey, Easy.
594
00:49:58,270 --> 00:50:00,500
That girl called me
last night, Joppy.
595
00:50:00,572 --> 00:50:02,130
What girl is that?
596
00:50:02,207 --> 00:50:04,471
The one your triend Albright
is lookin' tor.
597
00:50:04,543 --> 00:50:07,444
Uh-huh. That's pretty lucky.
598
00:50:07,512 --> 00:50:09,446
No, it wasn't no luck at all, Joppy.
lt was you.
599
00:50:11,016 --> 00:50:13,507
You and Coretta was the onliest ones
that had my phone number...
600
00:50:13,585 --> 00:50:15,678
and knew l was lookin'
tor the girl.
601
00:50:15,754 --> 00:50:19,554
And Coretta was too busy scammin'
Daphne, so it couldn't have been her.
602
00:50:19,624 --> 00:50:21,057
Maybe she looked it
in the phone book.
603
00:50:21,126 --> 00:50:23,993
l ain't in the phone book.
You supposed to be my triend.
604
00:50:24,062 --> 00:50:26,292
Why didn't you tell the man
where the girl was yourselt?
605
00:50:26,364 --> 00:50:30,164
What you mean comin' up here
like you think you gonna do somethin'?
606
00:50:30,235 --> 00:50:32,669
l think l'm gonna do somethin'.
607
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,264
Stop that shit! You--
608
00:50:36,341 --> 00:50:39,902
What? That's my marble!
My uncle left me that atter he died!
609
00:50:39,978 --> 00:50:42,071
Qoddamn it,
he's about to get it back too.
610
00:50:42,147 --> 00:50:44,581
- All right! Let's talk!
- Well, let's talk!
611
00:50:44,649 --> 00:50:46,310
- What you got me into?
- All right.
612
00:50:46,384 --> 00:50:48,875
She asked me to help her 'cause l told
her Albright was lookin' tor her.
613
00:50:48,954 --> 00:50:52,583
l tigured l could help you make some
money and throw Albright ott the track.
614
00:50:52,657 --> 00:50:55,319
She wanted to know somethin' about you,
so l told her.
615
00:50:55,393 --> 00:50:57,054
- Where is she?
- l don't know.
616
00:50:57,128 --> 00:51:00,097
- Don't lie to me!
- l'm not lyin' to you.
617
00:51:00,165 --> 00:51:03,692
- What's she runnin' trom then?
- She didn't tell me.
618
00:51:04,769 --> 00:51:08,170
Easy, look at me!
l am your triend.
619
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:12,198
Now l didn't mean
to get you in no trouble.
620
00:51:12,277 --> 00:51:15,872
l just-- l mean--
Look, you seen her.
621
00:51:15,947 --> 00:51:18,541
l mean, she is
somethin' else, man.
622
00:51:20,819 --> 00:51:23,913
You know what l'm sayin'?
623
00:51:32,731 --> 00:51:34,164
What?
624
00:51:40,639 --> 00:51:44,370
Like Albright said,
when you`re mixed up in somethin`...
625
00:51:44,442 --> 00:51:47,070
you better be mixed up
to the top.
626
00:51:47,145 --> 00:51:49,079
So that`s where l was goin`--
627
00:51:49,147 --> 00:51:52,378
all the way to the top.
628
00:51:52,450 --> 00:51:56,284
Everybody was peein` on my head
and tellin` me it was rain.
629
00:51:56,354 --> 00:52:00,381
Guess they figured l was some
new kind of fool, and maybe l was...
630
00:52:00,458 --> 00:52:03,154
`cause l was ready
to start fightin` back.
631
00:52:03,228 --> 00:52:07,096
And l believed somehow that
l could live through this bad dream...
632
00:52:07,165 --> 00:52:09,963
about pretty girls
and gangsters...
633
00:52:10,035 --> 00:52:12,868
and standin' face-to-face
with the richest man in town.
634
00:52:29,154 --> 00:52:30,883
May l help you?
635
00:52:30,955 --> 00:52:32,889
Yes, ma'am.
l'm lookin' tor Mr. Carter.
636
00:52:32,957 --> 00:52:34,948
l'm sorry. Mr. Carter's
a very busy man.
637
00:52:35,026 --> 00:52:38,587
Too busy to hear somethin' about that
little chippy ot his that dumped him?
638
00:52:38,663 --> 00:52:41,826
Excuse me, Mr.--
639
00:52:41,900 --> 00:52:43,333
Rawlins.
640
00:52:44,469 --> 00:52:46,403
Why don't you come
with me, sir?
641
00:52:50,775 --> 00:52:54,074
Not very smart talking about
Mr. Carter's business to a secretary.
642
00:52:54,145 --> 00:52:55,578
l don't wanna hear it.
643
00:52:55,647 --> 00:52:58,878
Too much goin' on tor me to give a damn
about what you think is smart.
644
00:53:12,564 --> 00:53:14,691
Wait here, Mr. Rawlins.
645
00:53:27,112 --> 00:53:29,046
Mr. Carter will see you.
646
00:53:35,553 --> 00:53:37,487
You've heard trom Daphne?
647
00:53:37,555 --> 00:53:39,614
Yeah. Last night.
648
00:53:39,691 --> 00:53:41,215
ls she still in town?
649
00:53:41,292 --> 00:53:43,021
She was last night.
650
00:53:44,162 --> 00:53:46,858
And what did she say?
651
00:53:46,931 --> 00:53:49,195
What was she wearing?
652
00:53:50,435 --> 00:53:53,598
- Blue dress, high heels.
- Mmm. That's her.
653
00:53:53,671 --> 00:53:55,662
l'm sorry.
Would you like to come in?
654
00:53:59,477 --> 00:54:01,411
- Mr. Carter--
- Have a seat.
655
00:54:01,479 --> 00:54:03,845
Thank you.
l just want some answers.
656
00:54:03,915 --> 00:54:06,349
- Would you like a brandy?
- Thank you.
657
00:54:06,417 --> 00:54:10,547
- l wanna know what l got myselt into.
- Beg your pardon?
658
00:54:11,656 --> 00:54:13,749
l wanna know the real reason
Mr. Albright hired me.
659
00:54:16,427 --> 00:54:18,520
Mr. Albright.
660
00:54:18,596 --> 00:54:20,996
Yeah. The man you hired
to tind Daphne.
661
00:54:22,567 --> 00:54:24,432
l think there`s been
a mistake here.
662
00:54:24,502 --> 00:54:28,598
l, uh--
Who are you talking about?
663
00:54:29,707 --> 00:54:31,698
Wait a minute. You--
664
00:54:31,776 --> 00:54:34,244
You didn't hire somebody
to find your girltriend?
665
00:54:34,312 --> 00:54:36,280
Ot course not.
666
00:54:36,347 --> 00:54:38,281
As a matter of fact,
until just now...
667
00:54:38,349 --> 00:54:41,113
l thought she was hundreds
of miles away trom here.
668
00:54:42,287 --> 00:54:45,381
- You say someone's looking tor her.
- Yeah.
669
00:54:46,558 --> 00:54:49,220
Someone's looking for her.
670
00:54:49,294 --> 00:54:53,162
Look, Mr. Carter. Nothin' personal,
but what's goin' on between y'all?
671
00:54:53,231 --> 00:54:54,664
Nothing.
672
00:54:56,267 --> 00:54:59,532
We were going to get married,
and we had a fight...
673
00:54:59,604 --> 00:55:03,267
and it is really none
of your concern, Mr. Rawlins.
674
00:55:03,341 --> 00:55:07,004
So someone`s after her.
Mr. Albright.
675
00:55:07,078 --> 00:55:10,445
And he says l'm his employer.
676
00:55:10,515 --> 00:55:12,107
Ever heard ot Richard McQee?
677
00:55:13,017 --> 00:55:14,109
Who?
678
00:55:16,754 --> 00:55:20,622
Look, l--
Why would somebody be atter her?
679
00:55:20,692 --> 00:55:22,819
Do you think
you can tind her again?
680
00:55:22,894 --> 00:55:25,158
lt's important.
681
00:55:25,230 --> 00:55:28,461
For her sake.
l'm willing to pay you.
682
00:55:29,834 --> 00:55:31,495
Why'd she leave
in the tirst place?
683
00:55:32,670 --> 00:55:34,604
lt's really none
of your concern, Mr. Rawlins...
684
00:55:34,672 --> 00:55:36,606
but l am willing to pay you
to find her.
685
00:55:43,581 --> 00:55:45,014
One thousand dollars.
686
00:55:46,050 --> 00:55:47,483
A thousand dollars.
687
00:55:47,552 --> 00:55:50,578
Yeah. l'll take 200 right now.
688
00:55:50,655 --> 00:55:53,453
l think you're trying
to take advantage of me.
689
00:55:53,524 --> 00:55:54,991
Let me intorm you of something.
690
00:55:55,059 --> 00:55:58,927
The incumbent mayor, chief ot police--
close personal triends ot mine.
691
00:55:58,997 --> 00:56:01,397
They eat at my house regularly,
and my tather's house.
692
00:56:01,466 --> 00:56:03,957
That's good, Mr. Carter.
Then they can help us find her.
693
00:56:07,438 --> 00:56:09,372
No, they can't.
694
00:56:11,409 --> 00:56:13,707
l'll have Baxter
write you out a check.
695
00:56:13,778 --> 00:56:15,712
Mr. Carter, why you stop
runnin' tor mayor?
696
00:56:15,780 --> 00:56:17,338
l'll have Baxter
write you a check.
697
00:56:17,415 --> 00:56:19,474
Why is Matthew Terell
lookin' for Daphne too?
698
00:56:19,550 --> 00:56:21,484
Baxter will write you a check.
699
00:56:21,552 --> 00:56:23,486
l'll take cash.
700
00:56:30,595 --> 00:56:32,893
Here. Take it all.
Just take it all.
701
00:56:37,936 --> 00:56:39,995
l'll be in touch, Mr. Carter.
702
00:56:56,087 --> 00:56:58,214
So Albright had lied to me.
703
00:56:58,289 --> 00:57:01,156
lnstead of workin` for Carter,
he was workin` for Matthew Terell...
704
00:57:01,225 --> 00:57:03,750
the man runnin` for mayor
against Carter.
705
00:57:03,828 --> 00:57:06,194
And for whatever reason,
they was all throwin` money my way...
706
00:57:06,264 --> 00:57:08,858
to find the girl
in the blue dress.
707
00:57:08,933 --> 00:57:11,424
Anyway, l knew that
her boyfriend, Frank Green...
708
00:57:11,502 --> 00:57:13,436
hi jacked trucks haulin` liquor...
709
00:57:13,504 --> 00:57:17,099
and sold it at half the price
to places down on Central Avenue.
710
00:57:17,175 --> 00:57:20,406
So l decided to kick up some dust
right in Frank`s backyard.
711
00:57:26,617 --> 00:57:28,050
Qood evening, Smoky.
712
00:57:28,119 --> 00:57:30,349
Good evening. Please. Your seat.
713
00:57:30,421 --> 00:57:31,854
Thanks.
714
00:57:33,024 --> 00:57:35,185
Now, Mr. Rawlins, what was that?
What were you saying?
715
00:57:35,259 --> 00:57:36,920

00:57:36,995 --> 00:57:39,088

00:57:39,163 --> 00:57:43,566
- Why are you treatin` me like this?
- l don't know any Frank Greens.
718
00:57:43,634 --> 00:57:45,761
You know me, though, don't you?
719
00:57:54,045 --> 00:57:58,141
Hey, l'm talkin' to my man. He told me

720
00:57:58,216 --> 00:58:00,980
- Who is that?

721
00:58:01,052 --> 00:58:04,215
He told me to talk to you now.

00:58:12,930 --> 00:58:14,557
- Here you go.

726
00:58:14,632 --> 00:58:16,657

727
00:58:16,734 --> 00:58:20,033
- Who's Frank Green?
- Come on. You know who he is.
728
00:58:20,104 --> 00:58:23,073
- Al, talk to this man.
- Come on. Don`t treat me like this.
729
00:58:23,141 --> 00:58:25,735
- You know who Frank Green is.
- l don't know who you're talkin' about.
730
00:58:25,810 --> 00:58:27,539
You don't know
who Frank Qreen is?
731
00:58:27,612 --> 00:58:29,842
Well, let's get him on the phone.
Frank told me--
732
00:58:39,724 --> 00:58:42,318

01:00:36,707 --> 01:00:41,076
A rich man is willin' to pay $1,000
just to talk to this girl.
752
01:00:43,047 --> 01:00:45,072
A thousand dollars.

Man cut a damn smile in your neck,

768
01:01:51,882 --> 01:01:55,215
This is the same shit you pulled

769
01:01:55,286 --> 01:01:58,380
You ain't been in my house tive minutes,

- Man, l'm gonna do everything you say.
778
01:02:30,755 --> 01:02:32,689
That's the wrong hand, Mouse.
779
01:02:35,993 --> 01:02:37,927
Boy, how you been?
780
01:02:39,463 --> 01:02:41,897
Who was that on the phone?
781
01:02:41,966 --> 01:02:44,400

Sounded like some white girl.
782

Did l do that?
l don't remember doin` that.
786
01:03:20,805 --> 01:03:23,137
What do you know
about a man named Richard McQee?
787
01:03:23,207 --> 01:03:25,607
A dead white man in a cabin
over in Laurel Canyon.
788
01:03:26,444 --> 01:03:30,244
He happens to have a note in his pocket
with ''Coretta James'' written on it.
789
01:03:30,314 --> 01:03:32,043
You teel a little more talkative?
790
01:03:32,116 --> 01:03:35,517
'Cause l'll bet you
we're lookin' at a double here.
791
01:03:35,586 --> 01:03:38,350
All we gotta do is place you

792
01:03:38,422 --> 01:03:40,356
- l wasn't in no dead man's house.
- Yeah.
793
01:03:40,424 --> 01:03:43,325
Well, we could go down to the station.
We'll send a team over here.
794
01:03:43,394 --> 01:03:47,057
Believe me, they'll tind somethin`
that will place you at that house.
795
01:03:47,131 --> 01:03:49,622
Evidence has a tunny way

796
01:03:49,700 --> 01:03:53,136
No, y'all ain't got nothin' on me

We know you know a lot more

You're gonna tell us

Maybe l can dig somethin' up.
804
01:04:11,922 --> 01:04:14,447

just like the cops wanted me to.
809
01:04:28,606 --> 01:04:30,039
lt was all a game to them.
810
01:04:31,142 --> 01:04:34,942
ln the mornin` they`d be playin` for
keeps `cause a white man was dead now.
811
01:04:35,012 --> 01:04:38,175
And guilty or not, somebody

812
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:47,079

01:04:47,158 --> 01:04:49,490
- l can't tind it.

814
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:51,494

- This one's yours too, isn't it?
- l dunno.
830
01:06:21,585 --> 01:06:23,018
Why you kill Richard McGee?
831
01:06:23,087 --> 01:06:25,317
Huh? What you talkin' about?
832
01:06:25,389 --> 01:06:27,516
Ain't no time to play.
l know you the one killed him.
833
01:06:27,591 --> 01:06:30,082
- You crazy, man!
- Sit down, Junior.
834
01:06:36,367 --> 01:06:38,858
- Tell me what happened.
- l don't know what you talkin' about.
835
01:06:38,936 --> 01:06:40,369
The police will when they find out...
836
01:06:40,437 --> 01:06:42,769
the tingerprints they got
up in that man's house belong to you.
837
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,434
- What tingerprints? What house?
- Hattie had you to pull that man...
838
01:06:45,509 --> 01:06:48,410
outta John's bar the night l was there,
and he was layin' in his house dead...
839
01:06:48,479 --> 01:06:50,811
with the same suit on
and a bullet hole in his head.
840
01:06:50,881 --> 01:06:52,314
l ain't killed nobody.
841
01:06:52,383 --> 01:06:55,216
Quit lyin' you big old, sweaty,
thickheaded, corn bread-eatin'--
842
01:06:55,286 --> 01:06:57,880
- Thickheaded your damn self!
- Sit down, Junior.
843
01:06:59,690 --> 01:07:01,624
Qo on. Sit down, now.
844
01:07:10,467 --> 01:07:13,561
You better tell me what happened.
Maybe l'll forget what l know.
845
01:07:13,637 --> 01:07:16,037
Otherwise, l'm gonna tell Mouse
to shoot you 'cause l don't like you.
846
01:07:16,106 --> 01:07:18,540
You killed that man
and took his money, right?
847
01:07:18,609 --> 01:07:21,840
- l don't know who you're talking about.
- You just had to rob him.
848
01:07:21,912 --> 01:07:24,642
l didn't. l didn't touch nothin'
in that man's house!
849
01:07:24,715 --> 01:07:26,239
Qoddamn, Junior!
850
01:07:28,385 --> 01:07:30,819
Mm-hmm. Sit down.
851
01:07:34,758 --> 01:07:37,249
Hattie had me take him
out to his car.
852
01:07:37,328 --> 01:07:39,888
He was so drunk he gave me
ten dollars to drive him home.
853
01:07:40,831 --> 01:07:43,322
- l know you took that.
- Hell, yeah.
854
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:46,767
Then he was askin' me about that white
girl you was askin' everybody about.
855
01:07:46,837 --> 01:07:50,204
l told him l seen her with Coretta.
What the hell l care it he knows?
856
01:07:50,274 --> 01:07:52,208
So you gonna tell him,
but you won`t tell me.
857
01:07:52,276 --> 01:07:55,109
l don't like your ass, Easy.
And he gave me $50.
858
01:07:55,179 --> 01:07:57,579
Just to tell him that
you saw her with Coretta?
859
01:07:57,648 --> 01:07:59,206
No, to deliver a letter.
860
01:08:00,117 --> 01:08:02,779
l give it to Coretta
to give to her the next mornin'.
861
01:08:05,522 --> 01:08:07,683
You better be tellin' the truth.
862
01:08:07,758 --> 01:08:09,521
Come on. Let's go, Raymond.
863
01:08:09,593 --> 01:08:11,561
l'm tellin' the truth.
l ain't killed nobody.
864
01:08:11,629 --> 01:08:13,790
- All right.
- That man was alive when l lett.
865
01:08:13,864 --> 01:08:15,695
l ain't killed nobody.
866
01:08:17,234 --> 01:08:19,327
The letter that was
so important to Daphne...
867
01:08:19,403 --> 01:08:21,701
had worked its way over
to the other side of town...
868
01:08:21,772 --> 01:08:25,435
to Dupree`s sister`s house
in Compton-- l hoped.
869
01:08:25,509 --> 01:08:28,603
And Junior was innocent
like l knew all along...
870
01:08:28,679 --> 01:08:30,340
but l couldn`t see no harm...
871
01:08:30,414 --> 01:08:32,712
in lettin` the big water-head
sucker sweat a little bit.
872
01:08:44,461 --> 01:08:46,691
Hey, now. Tried to call you.
873
01:08:46,764 --> 01:08:49,232
Yeah, the cops
just let me out today.
874
01:08:49,299 --> 01:08:53,167
Sister's gone to work, and l ain't
teelin' much like talkin'. Raymond!
875
01:08:53,237 --> 01:08:56,070
Yeah, big man.
All right now.
876
01:08:56,140 --> 01:08:58,074
ls them pigs' tails
l smell up in there?
877
01:08:58,142 --> 01:09:00,542
Oh, yeah. Lula Mae made some
betore she went to work.
878
01:09:00,611 --> 01:09:02,806
Y'all gonna have to excuse me.
879
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:04,814
Come on.
880
01:09:04,882 --> 01:09:06,816
- Dupree.
- Yeah.
881
01:09:08,519 --> 01:09:09,952
Look.
882
01:09:12,690 --> 01:09:14,624
l'm sorry.
883
01:09:16,060 --> 01:09:18,392
Thank you, Easy.
884
01:09:18,462 --> 01:09:22,023
Why somebody want to kill her like that?
lt don't make sense to me.
885
01:09:29,773 --> 01:09:34,369
Did Coretta say anything to you
about a letter she was keepin'?
886
01:09:35,446 --> 01:09:39,075
A letter?
What kind ot letter?
887
01:09:39,149 --> 01:09:41,276
From that white girl.
888
01:09:41,351 --> 01:09:45,811
Nah, but l know it was on account
ot her that Coretta got killed.
889
01:09:45,889 --> 01:09:48,756
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
890
01:09:48,826 --> 01:09:52,557
Everything between Daphne and Coretta
was always such a damn secret.
891
01:09:53,597 --> 01:09:55,531
That old girl--
892
01:09:55,599 --> 01:09:58,227
She didn't think nothin'
about two-timin` on Frank.
893
01:09:59,303 --> 01:10:02,500
- You want some more tails, Raymond?
- Oh, yeah. Thanks, Dupree.
894
01:10:03,407 --> 01:10:06,137
You know she messin' around with
that guy runnin' tor mayor, don't you?
895
01:10:06,210 --> 01:10:08,735
- Todd Carter?
- Yeah. Carter. That's his name.
896
01:10:09,813 --> 01:10:13,613
She probably introduced Coretta
to one ot them guys she knew.
897
01:10:13,684 --> 01:10:17,552
He probably came over to the house, saw
that Coretta wasn't that type of woman.
898
01:10:19,656 --> 01:10:21,590
Cops say she fought him.
899
01:10:23,127 --> 01:10:24,560
Can you imagine that?
900
01:10:25,863 --> 01:10:27,797
My baby tought him.
901
01:10:29,833 --> 01:10:32,267
Fought him 'cause she wouldn't
have nobody but me.
902
01:10:35,739 --> 01:10:37,172
Qod.
903
01:10:37,241 --> 01:10:39,175
l can't sleep.
904
01:10:41,578 --> 01:10:44,775
l still keep seein' her tace
that mornin' betore l went to work.
905
01:10:47,417 --> 01:10:49,942
Junior had just
came by the house...
906
01:10:50,020 --> 01:10:52,682
and she come runnin' out
carryin' her Bible.
907
01:10:54,291 --> 01:10:58,193
She say, ''Keep this tor me, baby.''
908
01:11:01,031 --> 01:11:04,262
- The Bible?
- Yeah.
909
01:11:04,334 --> 01:11:07,861
And the police won't even
let me go near the house.
910
01:11:10,107 --> 01:11:12,598
That's the only thing l got lett
that belonged to her.
911
01:11:12,676 --> 01:11:14,109
The Bible.
912
01:11:16,613 --> 01:11:20,140
l know it was a sign
'cause she's so religious.
913
01:11:21,218 --> 01:11:23,209
Oh, Qod.
914
01:11:24,588 --> 01:11:26,783
lt's all right, big man.
915
01:11:26,857 --> 01:11:29,348
- l'm sorry.
- No. That's all right.
916
01:11:29,426 --> 01:11:32,054
Qet you a drink now.
Go on now. Drink this.
917
01:11:32,129 --> 01:11:33,756
All right.
918
01:11:33,831 --> 01:11:35,321
That's enough.
919
01:11:35,399 --> 01:11:37,333
Qo on. Drink that.
920
01:12:31,255 --> 01:12:33,348
l was scared now...
921
01:12:33,423 --> 01:12:35,653
and sick from what l saw--
922
01:12:35,726 --> 01:12:39,719
pictures of a much younger
Matthew Terell and children--
923
01:12:39,796 --> 01:12:43,994
innocent, helpless,
naked children.
924
01:12:47,271 --> 01:12:49,205
l got it. Come on. Let's go.
925
01:12:50,274 --> 01:12:52,765
Boy, is you crazy
or is you drunk?
926
01:12:53,810 --> 01:12:55,072
Come on.
927
01:12:55,145 --> 01:12:59,605
Am l drunk? You saw me draw that gun.
Ain't a man in Texas can outdraw me.
928
01:12:59,683 --> 01:13:01,241
Put the gun down.
929
01:13:01,318 --> 01:13:04,845
No, l'm drunk. You right.
930
01:13:06,323 --> 01:13:08,655
Qonna put that gun right there.
931
01:13:08,725 --> 01:13:10,659
We gonna see who's drunk.
932
01:13:12,796 --> 01:13:15,697
Now watch it now.
Watch it, goddamn it.
933
01:13:16,767 --> 01:13:19,201
Right there now. Oh, yeah.
934
01:13:19,269 --> 01:13:22,466
Now this tool gonna call me out.
He ain't even got no gun.
935
01:13:22,539 --> 01:13:24,507
l'll kill that motherfucker.
936
01:13:24,574 --> 01:13:27,543
No. Let him go.
937
01:13:28,979 --> 01:13:33,279
Let him live, and he'll be scared ot you
every time you walk into a room.
938
01:13:33,350 --> 01:13:35,375
He better be scared.
l'll kill him.
939
01:13:35,452 --> 01:13:38,353
- He will. lt he ain't--
- You better tell him.
940
01:13:38,422 --> 01:13:41,220
l will. Trust me.
941
01:13:41,291 --> 01:13:43,225
l'll tell him.
942
01:13:47,464 --> 01:13:50,558
- Right there, goddamn it.
- No. Keep an eye on him.
943
01:13:50,634 --> 01:13:52,932
Where you goin'?
944
01:13:53,003 --> 01:13:54,937
That's right.
945
01:14:12,723 --> 01:14:16,124
The pictures was eatin` at my pocket
like a cigarette burn.
946
01:14:16,193 --> 01:14:20,152
Albright had killed for those pictures
to get `em back for Matthew Terell.
947
01:14:20,230 --> 01:14:23,893
He had killed Richard McGee,
who had sold the pictures to Daphne.
948
01:14:23,967 --> 01:14:26,128
Time was runnin` out...
949
01:14:26,203 --> 01:14:29,400
but l had some unfinished business
with the girl.
950
01:14:29,473 --> 01:14:33,307
She had called that afternoon, and
all l needed was for her to call again.
951
01:14:48,792 --> 01:14:50,225
Hello.
952
01:15:11,081 --> 01:15:13,208
l'm sorry l broke
into your house, and--
953
01:15:15,419 --> 01:15:17,512
Please don't be angry
with me.
954
01:15:17,587 --> 01:15:20,556
Now why should l be
angry at you?
955
01:15:26,329 --> 01:15:29,025
May l have a cigarette?
956
01:15:33,703 --> 01:15:37,139
You know, Coretta's boyfriend Dupree
got out ot jail today.
957
01:15:37,207 --> 01:15:39,903
And you need me
to help you find him.
958
01:15:41,645 --> 01:15:44,136
l already got
the pictures, Daphne.
959
01:16:18,682 --> 01:16:21,845
l paid $7,000 tor those pictures.
They belong to me.
960
01:16:21,918 --> 01:16:24,614
Matthew Terell might have
something to say about that.
961
01:16:25,989 --> 01:16:28,787
All right, then. l'll pay you tor them.
l'll give you $1,000.
962
01:16:28,859 --> 01:16:31,521
- You gave Richard McGee seven.
- Then l'll give you seven.
963
01:16:31,595 --> 01:16:33,859
Damn, what does Terell
have on you, girl?
964
01:16:33,930 --> 01:16:36,831
Nothin'.
You want the money or not?
965
01:16:38,535 --> 01:16:40,469
No, l got two murders
hangin' over my head.
966
01:16:40,537 --> 01:16:43,700
Unless l give the cops a killer
by tomorrow mornin', l'm goin' to jail.
967
01:16:43,773 --> 01:16:46,071
- Now who killed Coretta?
- l don't know.
968
01:16:46,143 --> 01:16:48,737
- lt was `cause of them pictures, right?
- l don't know.
969
01:16:48,812 --> 01:16:51,713
Your boytriend Frank Green killed her
to bring you them pictures, didn't he?
970
01:16:51,781 --> 01:16:53,874
- Ot course not.
- Well, you can tell it to the police...
971
01:16:53,950 --> 01:16:55,884
'cause l ain't takin' the rap.
972
01:16:58,021 --> 01:17:00,581
Easy, put the phone down !
973
01:17:02,726 --> 01:17:04,159
lt was Frank, wasn't it?
974
01:17:04,227 --> 01:17:06,161
- He had nothin' to do with it.
- Sure he did.
975
01:17:06,229 --> 01:17:08,390
l knew there was more between y'all
than some backdoor romance.
976
01:17:08,465 --> 01:17:11,559
He probably pimped you out to Carter in
the first place. We goin' to the police.
977
01:17:11,635 --> 01:17:14,195
Come on. Yeah !
Why don't you scream?
978
01:17:14,271 --> 01:17:16,796
So l can tell the police
about your boytriend Frank Green.
979
01:17:16,873 --> 01:17:18,602
Frank is my brother!
980
01:17:18,675 --> 01:17:20,108
What?
981
01:17:22,078 --> 01:17:24,876
Our mother is Creole.
We have difterent tathers.
982
01:17:26,383 --> 01:17:31,286
Mine is white, and that's
what Terell has on me.
983
01:17:32,856 --> 01:17:35,825
And so tar l've been able
to keep Frank out ot this.
984
01:17:35,892 --> 01:17:37,325
Who killed Coretta?
985
01:17:38,495 --> 01:17:40,429
- lt was an accident.
- Who killed her?
986
01:17:40,497 --> 01:17:42,431
She threatened to sell
the pictures to Terell.
987
01:17:42,499 --> 01:17:44,433
Who killed her, goddamn it?
988
01:17:45,702 --> 01:17:48,000
l just asked Joppy to go over
and put a scare into her.
989
01:17:50,574 --> 01:17:52,769
l didn't mean to hurt anybody.
990
01:17:55,412 --> 01:17:59,007
But Todd and his family had to pull out
of the election because ot me.
991
01:17:59,082 --> 01:18:02,449
They really wanted us to get married.
lt was because ot the election that we--
992
01:18:05,989 --> 01:18:08,787
l'll be a son of a bitch.
Qet her, Sharitt.
993
01:18:14,864 --> 01:18:17,298
Come on. Get up.
994
01:18:18,268 --> 01:18:20,202
-Where are the pictures?
-l don't know what you're talking about.
995
01:18:20,270 --> 01:18:22,397
Yeah? Take her to the car.
996
01:18:22,472 --> 01:18:24,531
Qet up.
997
01:18:24,608 --> 01:18:27,941
Come on! Who we gonna give up
to cover this shit, huh?
998
01:18:28,011 --> 01:18:29,945
Qet out there.
999
01:18:56,139 --> 01:19:00,166
l woke up Mouse and told him to drive
Dupree`s car to 34th and Central...
1000
01:19:00,243 --> 01:19:03,679
`cause it had come to me
in less time than it takes to think.
1001
01:19:03,747 --> 01:19:05,806
They were takin` Daphne
someplace more deserted...
1002
01:19:05,882 --> 01:19:08,214
than Albright`s office
up in Hollywood--
1003
01:19:08,285 --> 01:19:10,810
someplace where there
would be no witnesses.
1004
01:19:10,887 --> 01:19:13,378
And l was bein` left alive
to take the fall.
1005
01:19:29,706 --> 01:19:32,072
Mouse, give me
one of them guns you got.
1006
01:19:32,142 --> 01:19:34,235
-What?
-Qive me one of them guns. Start my car.
1007
01:19:34,311 --> 01:19:36,575
Keep it hot.
l'm comin' out tast.
1008
01:20:05,041 --> 01:20:07,066
Come on. Let's go.
1009
01:20:09,379 --> 01:20:11,313
- l`m blow your face otf. Let's go.
- Hey, man!
1010
01:20:11,381 --> 01:20:13,315
Shut up!
1011
01:20:16,753 --> 01:20:18,687
- What the hell we doin'?
- Shut up.
1012
01:20:19,956 --> 01:20:21,890
What is this, Easy?
1013
01:20:23,460 --> 01:20:25,018
You drive.
1014
01:20:36,806 --> 01:20:38,740
Albright's got the girl,
and he's gonna kill her.
1015
01:20:38,808 --> 01:20:42,869
- You better tell me where it is.
- Easy, l don't--
1016
01:20:42,946 --> 01:20:46,780
- Qet it right.
- There's a cabin.
1017
01:20:46,850 --> 01:20:49,182
- That's all l know. There's a cabin.
- Where is it?
1018
01:20:49,252 --> 01:20:51,720
lt's in Malibu on Route 9.
1019
01:20:51,788 --> 01:20:55,019
- Make a right turn at the alley.
- Ah, yeah.
1020
01:20:58,027 --> 01:21:00,291
You sure this is where Albright's
gonna be, right?
1021
01:21:00,363 --> 01:21:02,297
- l guess so.
- Don't be guessin', Joppy.
1022
01:21:02,365 --> 01:21:06,028
Look. He done this kind of thing
out there betore, so l guess so.
1023
01:21:06,102 --> 01:21:09,401
Easy, what's got into you? l thought
y'all were supposed to be friends.
1024
01:21:09,472 --> 01:21:12,464
- He killed Coretta.
- You're lyin'.
1025
01:21:12,542 --> 01:21:14,703
- l ain't done nothin' like that.
- Son of a bitch.
1026
01:21:14,778 --> 01:21:16,712
Wait! No!
Wait a minute!
1027
01:21:16,780 --> 01:21:18,805
Hold on now!
Wait a minute!
1028
01:21:21,117 --> 01:21:24,143
Now we need him, Mouse.
The girl got $7,000.
1029
01:21:27,424 --> 01:21:28,857
What?
1030
01:21:28,925 --> 01:21:32,383
The girl otfered to pay me $7,000
for them pictures.
1031
01:21:32,462 --> 01:21:34,362
Oh, my God.
1032
01:21:34,431 --> 01:21:37,025
Oh, my goodness!
Oh, my God!
1033
01:21:38,501 --> 01:21:40,435
Seven-- Oh, my Qod!
1034
01:21:55,351 --> 01:21:57,319
How much further is it?
1035
01:21:57,387 --> 01:21:59,321
You're comin` up on it.
1036
01:22:19,576 --> 01:22:22,101
Raymond, there's some rope
in the trunk. Tie him up.
1037
01:22:22,178 --> 01:22:24,112
Yeah, all right.
1038
01:22:31,387 --> 01:22:33,685
Now, man, come on.
1039
01:22:33,756 --> 01:22:38,386
The girl is lyin' if she told you
l killed that woman.
1040
01:22:38,461 --> 01:22:41,362
- Who says she told me?
- l--
1041
01:22:41,431 --> 01:22:43,365
l mean--
1042
01:22:46,002 --> 01:22:49,529
- l'm just gonna shoot him now, okay?
- No, don't shoot him.
1043
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:52,574
Don't shoot him.
1044
01:23:42,458 --> 01:23:44,392
Help me!
1045
01:23:50,767 --> 01:23:52,200
Please!
1046
01:23:57,206 --> 01:23:59,140
Shut up!
1047
01:24:04,981 --> 01:24:07,381
Now you're gonna tell me
where the pictures are, okay?
1048
01:24:07,450 --> 01:24:10,010
l don't wanna hurt you,
but you are gonna tell me.
1049
01:24:10,086 --> 01:24:14,420
- Where are the pictures?
- l don't have them. Easy has them.
1050
01:24:14,490 --> 01:24:16,424
l thought you said he had
nothin' to do with it.
1051
01:24:16,492 --> 01:24:18,426
l was lying.
1052
01:24:20,630 --> 01:24:22,063
What?
1053
01:24:22,131 --> 01:24:24,099
- l was lying.
- Are you a liar?
1054
01:24:29,138 --> 01:24:32,232
l know you're a liar.
You lie about bein' a nigger?
1055
01:24:34,711 --> 01:24:36,645
Better tell me the truth.
1056
01:24:37,714 --> 01:24:40,046
What part of you is nigger?
Your leg is nigger?
1057
01:24:40,116 --> 01:24:43,847
Your arm is nigger?
Maybe your face is nigger.
1058
01:24:46,022 --> 01:24:47,956
What part ot you is nigger?
1059
01:24:49,692 --> 01:24:53,856
- You know what l'm gonna do?
- l don't have them. Please.
1060
01:24:53,930 --> 01:24:56,364
l'm gonna burn it out ot you.
1061
01:25:57,694 --> 01:25:59,662
Hey, Easy. ls that you?
1062
01:27:13,002 --> 01:27:15,562
He gone, man.
1063
01:27:19,942 --> 01:27:21,375
Gone.
1064
01:27:31,154 --> 01:27:32,917
You all right?
1065
01:27:32,989 --> 01:27:34,718
Yeah.
1066
01:27:34,791 --> 01:27:38,056
Can you walk? All right.
Come on. Let's go.
1067
01:27:57,079 --> 01:27:59,013
Where's Joppy, Mouse?
1068
01:28:01,851 --> 01:28:03,785
Where Joppy?
1069
01:28:03,853 --> 01:28:05,787
He right there.
1070
01:28:16,966 --> 01:28:19,025
What happened?
1071
01:28:19,101 --> 01:28:21,865
l ain't had no time
to be tyin' him up, Easy.
1072
01:28:21,938 --> 01:28:23,633
What?
1073
01:28:23,706 --> 01:28:25,640
Look, you just said
don't shoot him, right?
1074
01:28:25,708 --> 01:28:29,200
- That`s right.
- Well, l didn't. l just-- l choked him.
1075
01:28:30,213 --> 01:28:31,646
What?
1076
01:28:31,714 --> 01:28:35,275
Well, how am l gonna help you out if l'm
back here toolin' around with him now?
1077
01:28:39,288 --> 01:28:42,655
lf you ain't want him killed,
why'd you leave him with me?
1078
01:28:49,098 --> 01:28:51,032
Come on. We got to go, Easy.
1079
01:28:53,970 --> 01:28:55,904
Easy, come on.
Let's go now.
1080
01:29:12,955 --> 01:29:14,889
All right, sweetheart.
1081
01:29:16,192 --> 01:29:20,094
Listen, Easy. l think you gonna have
trouble with that dude Frank.
1082
01:29:20,162 --> 01:29:22,255
l can run by, kill him
and take that evenin' train.
1083
01:29:22,331 --> 01:29:25,494
- No, Mouse.
- You sure? All right, then.
1084
01:29:27,069 --> 01:29:29,003
Hey. All right.
1085
01:29:29,071 --> 01:29:30,936
Oh, look here.
1086
01:29:31,007 --> 01:29:33,168
Now l cut you in tor halt `cause l know
you was too big a tool...
1087
01:29:33,242 --> 01:29:35,802
to take you share
trom the white girl yourselt.
1088
01:29:35,878 --> 01:29:37,812
All right.
Hey, man. Look.
1089
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:40,348
lt you need somebody to run them streets
with you again, just give me a call.
1090
01:29:40,416 --> 01:29:43,249
'Cause you know how to put
some money in a nigger's pocket.
1091
01:29:43,319 --> 01:29:44,752
Bye.
1092
01:30:03,339 --> 01:30:06,331
Well, what upset them most
was that l didn't tell them.
1093
01:30:07,410 --> 01:30:10,573
And then Terell threatened to go public
about my mother...
1094
01:30:10,646 --> 01:30:13,740
and that just added insult
to injury.
1095
01:30:13,816 --> 01:30:17,980
When Todd sees the pictures nothing will
stand in the way of us gettin' married.
1096
01:30:18,054 --> 01:30:19,646
Are you sure about that?
1097
01:30:19,722 --> 01:30:22,486
Ot course.
Terell doesn't want to go to jail.
1098
01:30:22,558 --> 01:30:24,492
l'm not talkin' about Terell.
1099
01:30:26,062 --> 01:30:28,758
Todd and l are very much in love,
and in the end...
1100
01:30:30,333 --> 01:30:32,801
his family just wants him
to be happy.
1101
01:30:37,206 --> 01:30:41,540
Daphne had gotten the money
out of a locker at fhe yWCA.
1102
01:30:41,610 --> 01:30:44,670
lt was money she had gotten
from Carter's family.
1103
01:30:44,747 --> 01:30:48,376
$30,000 to leave town.
1104
01:30:49,452 --> 01:30:52,615
She was still convinced, though,
that her Negro blood didn`t matter...
1105
01:30:52,688 --> 01:30:55,156
now that Terell couldn`t use it to keep
the man she wanted to marry...
1106
01:30:55,224 --> 01:30:57,658
out of the mayor's race.
1107
01:30:58,728 --> 01:31:01,788
She was in love
and couldn`t see for dreamin`...
1108
01:31:01,864 --> 01:31:04,628
any better than the rest of us,
l guess.
1109
01:31:04,700 --> 01:31:08,329
`Cause even though we had fought
a war to keep the world free...
1110
01:31:08,404 --> 01:31:10,497
the color line in America
worked both ways...
1111
01:31:10,573 --> 01:31:13,565
and even a rich white man
like Todd Carter...
1112
01:31:13,642 --> 01:31:16,236
was afraid to cross it.
1113
01:31:16,312 --> 01:31:18,906
- Don't walk away. Don't--
- Damn you!
1114
01:31:18,981 --> 01:31:20,414
Wait.
1115
01:31:27,456 --> 01:31:29,651
Please.
1116
01:31:53,449 --> 01:31:56,976
Here's the $800
that l owe you...
1117
01:31:57,053 --> 01:31:59,021
and thank you
tor protecting her.
1118
01:32:01,424 --> 01:32:03,358
You have some pictures.
1119
01:32:16,272 --> 01:32:18,399
That puts you
back in the race.
1120
01:32:20,609 --> 01:32:23,407
l'm gonna need you
to do something tor me too.
1121
01:32:25,514 --> 01:32:27,038
l know.
1122
01:32:27,116 --> 01:32:31,519
You'll have no trouble
with the police. That's a promise.
1123
01:32:37,393 --> 01:32:39,987
Thank you.
1124
01:32:45,835 --> 01:32:47,769
Just so you know...
1125
01:32:49,672 --> 01:32:51,367
l do love her.
1126
01:33:36,886 --> 01:33:39,480
You want me to walk you inside?
1127
01:34:01,310 --> 01:34:03,574
l dropped her off
at her brother`s apartment--
1128
01:34:03,646 --> 01:34:06,615
a fourplex on Dinker Street.
1129
01:34:06,682 --> 01:34:11,415
She had told me her story on the way
like a sinner who wanted fo confess.
1130
01:34:11,487 --> 01:34:14,945
Her name was Ruby Hanks
from Lake Charles, Louisiana...
1131
01:34:15,024 --> 01:34:18,790
and l suppose all she really wanted
was a place to fit in.
1132
01:34:19,862 --> 01:34:22,660
A few days later,
my conscience got the best of me...
1133
01:34:22,731 --> 01:34:25,996
and l went by her place
to bring back my half of her money.
1134
01:34:26,068 --> 01:34:29,697
l was kind of excited
about seein` her again...
1135
01:34:29,772 --> 01:34:34,175
but when l got there, she and her
brother had picked up and gone.
1136
01:35:14,750 --> 01:35:17,810
Hey, Easy. Find a job yet?
1137
01:35:17,886 --> 01:35:19,979
l ain't studyin' no job, Odell.
1138
01:35:20,055 --> 01:35:22,649
Ain't studyin' no job?
How you gonna live?
1139
01:35:22,725 --> 01:35:25,956
l got a little money saved up.
Gonna invest in some real estate.
1140
01:35:26,028 --> 01:35:28,223
Maybe go into business
for myself.
1141
01:35:28,297 --> 01:35:29,889
What kind of business?
1142
01:35:29,965 --> 01:35:32,490
Little private investigatin'.
1143
01:35:32,568 --> 01:35:34,229
You get in trouble doin' that.
1144
01:35:34,303 --> 01:35:37,295
Yeah, well, like a man
told me once...
1145
01:35:37,373 --> 01:35:40,342
step out your door in the mornin',
you're already in trouble.
1146
01:35:40,409 --> 01:35:43,344
Just a matter of whether you're
mixed up at the top ot it or not.
1147
01:35:43,412 --> 01:35:46,210
Yeah. l guess you're right.
1148
01:35:51,787 --> 01:35:56,622
lf you got a triend that you know does
bad things-- l mean real bad things--
1149
01:35:56,692 --> 01:35:59,923
can you still keep him as a triend
even though you know what he's like?
1150
01:36:01,797 --> 01:36:03,230
You think that's wrong?
1151
01:36:05,801 --> 01:36:07,792
All you got is your friends.
1152
01:36:11,006 --> 01:36:13,304
What are you doin'?
You better get out of my yard!
1153
01:36:13,375 --> 01:36:15,809
- You get on out!
- Hey! Get on away trom there!
1154
01:36:15,878 --> 01:36:18,005
You know that fool knocked down
two ot my trees.
1155
01:36:18,080 --> 01:36:20,480
Get on away trom there!
1156
01:36:20,549 --> 01:36:22,483
You better get on !
1157
01:36:25,688 --> 01:36:27,246
You all right?
1158
01:36:27,323 --> 01:36:29,814
ls he crazy?
1159
01:36:29,892 --> 01:36:32,224
Always up and down
on our street.
1160
01:36:33,295 --> 01:36:35,422
lt he comes back,
you let me know, ma`am.
1161
01:36:35,497 --> 01:36:38,432
- All right. You take care.
- l'm fine. Thank you.
1162
01:36:43,739 --> 01:36:45,172
Hey, Lou.
1163
01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:47,231
Hey, man.
Get out ot the street!
1164
01:36:47,309 --> 01:36:49,243
Watch it.
1165
01:37:15,571 --> 01:37:17,903
l thought about what Odell
had said about friends...
1166
01:37:17,973 --> 01:37:20,168
and it made sense to me.
1167
01:37:20,242 --> 01:37:23,803
Odell goes to church every Sunday,
so he would know.
1168
01:37:23,879 --> 01:37:26,313
Later on, he challenged me
to a game of dominoes.
1169
01:37:26,382 --> 01:37:28,850
Now what`d he go
and do that for?
1170
01:37:28,917 --> 01:37:32,318
We got to talkin` about Texas
and fooled around...
1171
01:37:32,388 --> 01:37:34,856
and drunk almost
a quart of whiskey.
1172
01:37:34,923 --> 01:37:39,758
And l forgot all about Daphne Monet,
Dewitt Albright, Carter and them.
1173
01:37:39,828 --> 01:37:42,023
And l sat with my friend...
1174
01:37:42,097 --> 01:37:44,258
on my porch...
1175
01:37:44,333 --> 01:37:46,563
at my house...
1176
01:37:46,635 --> 01:37:49,103
and we laughed a long time.
