1
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:46,792
‐ Well, I guess it is about kick‐off time.
2
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,833
I'm gonna put this on top of here
3
00:01:53,833 --> 00:01:56,667
so we can get both of us.
4
00:02:00,375 --> 00:02:05,208
My next guest has appeared on Broadway.
5
00:02:05,875 --> 00:02:08,000
Sold out Carnegie Hall.
6
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
She's played in movies
out in Hollywood
7
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,083
with the likes of Louis Armstrong.
8
00:02:14,083 --> 00:02:17,583
I am Reginald Lord Divine
9
00:02:17,583 --> 00:02:19,625
and oh, my God...
10
00:02:19,625 --> 00:02:21,875
Oh, my God.
11
00:02:21,875 --> 00:02:25,958
I cannot believe
that we have the opportunity
12
00:02:25,958 --> 00:02:29,917
as I live and breathe
to interview the Lady,
13
00:02:29,917 --> 00:02:34,417
the legend, my hero, Miss Billie Holiday.
14
00:02:34,917 --> 00:02:38,750
The Lady Day.
Which do you prefer, honey?
15
00:02:39,333 --> 00:02:41,750
‐ She'd prefer you pay her money first.
16
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:51,708
Tell me. Tell me.
17
00:02:52,917 --> 00:02:56,000
What's it like to be a colored woman?
18
00:03:00,958 --> 00:03:03,917
‐ Would you ask Doris Day
a question like that?
19
00:03:03,917 --> 00:03:06,583
‐ Well, Doris Day
is not colored, silly.
20
00:03:07,208 --> 00:03:08,417
‐ Jesus.
21
00:03:11,250 --> 00:03:14,167
‐ I want to talk Strange Fruit.
22
00:03:14,708 --> 00:03:16,792
Yes, Strange Fruit.
23
00:03:18,083 --> 00:03:20,167
My audience wants to know.
24
00:03:20,167 --> 00:03:22,125
You keep getting in trouble for it,
25
00:03:22,125 --> 00:03:25,500
but you are determined to keep singing it.
Troublemaker!
26
00:03:26,625 --> 00:03:28,250
‐ You ever seen a lynching?
27
00:03:34,042 --> 00:03:35,958
It's about human rights.
28
00:03:37,542 --> 00:03:39,833
Government forgets that sometimes.
29
00:03:42,875 --> 00:03:45,458
They just want me to shut up
and sing All of Me.
30
00:03:47,458 --> 00:03:49,917
Let's start where it all began.
31
00:03:49,917 --> 00:03:52,875
At the Cafe Society.
32
00:03:54,042 --> 00:03:56,333
Oh, honey, I loved that place.
33
00:04:03,208 --> 00:04:07,417
I remember seeingLena Horne tipping in with... Who was it?
34
00:04:07,417 --> 00:04:11,292
Oh, that drunk. Oh! Tallulah Bankhead.
35
00:04:15,292 --> 00:04:18,333
That's the first timeI saw you sing, honey.
36
00:04:22,917 --> 00:04:26,333
The wrong kind of placefor the right kind of people.
37
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:29,375
Like Jimmy Fletcher.
38
00:04:29,375 --> 00:04:33,167
Leave him alone.He didn't know what he was walking into.
39
00:04:33,167 --> 00:04:36,583
Yes, he did. Soldier boy.
40
00:04:45,042 --> 00:04:46,833
You were there withthat famous manager back then.
41
00:04:46,833 --> 00:04:48,083
What was his name?
42
00:04:48,083 --> 00:04:49,083
Crook.
43
00:04:50,583 --> 00:04:53,250
Yeah, that's right.Crooked‐ass Joe Glaser.
44
00:04:53,250 --> 00:04:55,833
He was there with my husband Monroe.
45
00:05:04,583 --> 00:05:06,667
‐ Have a good evening, sir.
‐ You as well.
46
00:05:55,083 --> 00:05:56,792
Okay, give me a lighter.
47
00:05:56,792 --> 00:05:59,750
‐ Orson Welles is outside,
he needs to see you again.
48
00:06:02,583 --> 00:06:05,167
‐ Tell him tomorrow. Monroe's out of town.
49
00:06:05,167 --> 00:06:06,375
‐ Mm‐hmm.
50
00:06:07,458 --> 00:06:10,208
You got some fans in from Baltimore
that want to see you.
51
00:06:11,833 --> 00:06:15,792
- ‐ Lucio, you dig the show?
- Oh, yeah.
52
00:06:15,792 --> 00:06:17,833
- And who are you?
- Jimmy Fletcher.
53
00:06:18,667 --> 00:06:22,167
‐ She don't know you.
Move. Come on, y'all.
54
00:06:22,167 --> 00:06:25,333
- ‐ Thank you.
- Come on, y'all, meet Lady Day.
55
00:06:25,333 --> 00:06:27,833
‐ Hey, how y'all doing?
Thanks for coming.
56
00:06:27,833 --> 00:06:30,667
- Hello, Miss Holiday.
- Oh, no. Please call me Billie.
57
00:06:30,667 --> 00:06:33,333
‐ We love you.
‐ Ah, y'all are sweet.
58
00:06:34,208 --> 00:06:36,458
So y'all came all the way from Baltimore
to come see me, huh?
59
00:06:36,458 --> 00:06:38,375
‐ Yes, ma'am.
‐ Yes, ma'am.
60
00:06:38,375 --> 00:06:41,000
And you're gonna take me
to a fancy dinner, too.
61
00:06:41,417 --> 00:06:43,542
‐ Gee‐whiz! I'm from Baltimore, too.
62
00:06:43,542 --> 00:06:46,042
Come here. Have some champagne.
Prez, give 'em something to drink.
63
00:06:46,042 --> 00:06:49,083
You just make sure he take you
to Jimmie's Chicken Shack up in Harlem.
64
00:06:49,083 --> 00:06:50,958
- Oh, God, yeah. Mm‐mm‐mm.
- That's good eatin'.
65
00:06:50,958 --> 00:06:52,292
Here. Let me see that.
66
00:06:54,417 --> 00:06:55,917
Where in Baltimore are y'all from?
67
00:06:56,583 --> 00:07:00,083
‐ Near Columbus Park?
‐ Okay, yeah, she's from east.
68
00:07:00,083 --> 00:07:02,333
‐ Yeah. Fells Point.
69
00:07:02,333 --> 00:07:03,583
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Miss Holiday.
70
00:07:07,458 --> 00:07:09,292
No, nigga.
71
00:07:10,917 --> 00:07:13,583
‐ I'm sorry, Mom.
I was on a job interview.
72
00:07:15,083 --> 00:07:18,042
‐ What job interview's, uh, at 10:30...
73
00:07:18,042 --> 00:07:20,500
Don't... stop. Stop.
74
00:07:21,375 --> 00:07:24,583
What job interviews are at 10:30
on a Sunday night?
75
00:07:25,583 --> 00:07:29,917
James, your lies are unbecoming,
and I'm getting tired of it.
76
00:07:30,708 --> 00:07:33,417
Living off your father's
hard‐earned trust.
77
00:07:33,417 --> 00:07:35,417
And you know I hate when you're late.
‐ Yes.
78
00:07:35,417 --> 00:07:38,625
‐ Sunday dinner's all we have together
now that you've moved out.
79
00:07:38,625 --> 00:07:41,917
‐ Yes. Yes, Mother, I was downtown
interviewing for this writing position
80
00:07:41,917 --> 00:07:43,000
with The Sun news.
81
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,458
I had to go to the editor's home.
82
00:07:45,125 --> 00:07:46,292
I got the job.
83
00:07:50,667 --> 00:07:53,125
‐ Your father would turn in his grave
84
00:07:53,125 --> 00:07:55,208
with all that he accomplished.
‐ Mom. Mom, please.
85
00:07:55,667 --> 00:07:59,042
‐ You're not fooling nobody
walking around in that uniform.
86
00:08:00,292 --> 00:08:03,917
Just because I don't hang
in the gutter with your friends
87
00:08:03,917 --> 00:08:06,917
doesn't mean I don't know what's going on.
88
00:08:07,417 --> 00:08:09,833
You're hanging out
with those jazz musicians
89
00:08:09,833 --> 00:08:11,917
in them clubs and God...
90
00:08:11,917 --> 00:08:14,167
God knows what else.
Take this out of here.
91
00:08:17,750 --> 00:08:21,000
‐ I do like the jazz clubs, Mom.
92
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,458
I even met Billie Holiday.
93
00:08:23,542 --> 00:08:25,375
‐ Really?
‐ Yes, really.
94
00:08:26,542 --> 00:08:29,833
You should be congratulating me
on my new job that I start tomorrow.
95
00:08:29,833 --> 00:08:31,500
Finally getting out of this uniform.
96
00:08:31,792 --> 00:08:35,708
‐ Oh, my! Billie Holiday!
97
00:08:35,708 --> 00:08:37,667
I hear that she is quite the lady.
98
00:08:38,542 --> 00:08:40,917
‐ I don't know, Mom.
I hear just the opposite.
99
00:08:40,917 --> 00:08:42,958
‐ Those are just rumors.
100
00:08:42,958 --> 00:08:45,375
Anytime somebody colored
is doing something right,
101
00:08:45,375 --> 00:08:46,917
they paint us out wrong.
102
00:08:49,417 --> 00:08:53,167
- Good morning, Miss Holiday.
- Milk. No, that's for the baby.
103
00:08:54,750 --> 00:08:57,000
Mommy didn't forget about you.
104
00:08:59,458 --> 00:09:01,000
‐ It's like a damn kennel in here.
105
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,375
‐ Vogue magazine want to interview me
about your gowns and such.
106
00:09:04,375 --> 00:09:06,333
‐ You ain't giving no interview
to no magazine.
107
00:09:06,333 --> 00:09:08,375
Somebody wants to hear about her
they can come talk to me.
108
00:09:08,375 --> 00:09:10,208
‐ They sent these over.
109
00:09:11,375 --> 00:09:14,125
‐ I'll take them both.
‐ It'll cost me an arm and a leg.
110
00:09:14,125 --> 00:09:15,333
‐ Shut the fuck up, Monroe.
111
00:09:16,542 --> 00:09:18,958
Send the dressmaker
one of my husband's arms, please.
112
00:09:20,792 --> 00:09:22,667
Ooh, where'd he come from?
113
00:09:26,375 --> 00:09:29,792
‐ Yeah. Joe, nah, he not clicking.
114
00:09:30,667 --> 00:09:33,208
‐ Hey, man. Thanks for coming in.
115
00:09:33,792 --> 00:09:35,833
‐ Sorry, ma'am.
‐ Thank you.
116
00:09:35,833 --> 00:09:37,792
‐ Good riddance.
‐ Ros.
117
00:09:37,792 --> 00:09:39,375
‐ He was horrible.
‐ Take a look.
118
00:09:42,167 --> 00:09:43,583
‐ Yeah, looks good.
119
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:45,875
They should be running
half‐page ads, at least.
120
00:09:45,875 --> 00:09:48,167
You should be getting
a bigger cut of the door, too.
121
00:09:48,667 --> 00:09:50,708
You're practically
topping the DownBeat poll.
122
00:09:50,708 --> 00:09:53,542
Eleanor Roosevelt has to pull strings
to get in here.
123
00:09:53,542 --> 00:09:55,000
‐ He has a point.
124
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,875
‐ Yeah, you do kind of got a point.
125
00:09:57,958 --> 00:09:59,000
Glaser.
126
00:10:00,958 --> 00:10:02,167
‐ I'm working on it.
127
00:10:03,458 --> 00:10:06,625
‐ When she started here, she was a nobody,
and now she's a star.
128
00:10:06,625 --> 00:10:08,500
‐ I'm working on it, okay?
129
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:10,500
- ‐ Joe's working on it, honey.
- Give me that.
130
00:10:16,250 --> 00:10:18,583
Mm‐mm. See, look. Told you.
131
00:10:29,333 --> 00:10:31,583
‐ Your friend Anslinger's
in the paper again.
132
00:10:31,583 --> 00:10:33,833
‐ He ain't no friend of mine.
‐ Sure he is.
133
00:10:35,125 --> 00:10:36,792
Glaser's friend, too, right?
134
00:10:37,917 --> 00:10:39,500
I cut Strange Fruit.
135
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:42,833
‐ No, Joe.
I want to sing the damn song, all right?
136
00:10:42,833 --> 00:10:44,708
The club advertises it.
137
00:10:44,708 --> 00:10:47,083
People pay good money to come here
and hear me sing it.
138
00:10:47,083 --> 00:10:48,500
I've told you a hundred times,
139
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:50,750
people in high places
don't want you singing that song.
140
00:10:51,833 --> 00:10:54,042
‐ And I've asked you
over a hundred times...
141
00:10:54,583 --> 00:10:56,292
"What people, Joe?"
142
00:10:58,167 --> 00:10:59,875
What you looking at him for?
143
00:10:59,875 --> 00:11:01,625
Shit, I'm the one who pays you.
144
00:11:02,167 --> 00:11:03,417
‐ The government.
145
00:11:06,458 --> 00:11:07,958
‐ Yeah, the government.
146
00:11:09,042 --> 00:11:10,667
People like your buddy Anslinger, right?
147
00:11:10,667 --> 00:11:11,708
‐ Quit it with that, huh?
148
00:11:12,292 --> 00:11:14,042
‐ The song means a lot to me, Joe.
149
00:11:14,042 --> 00:11:16,083
‐ Meeropol wrote it
and he's a fucking commie.
150
00:11:16,083 --> 00:11:18,375
‐ Come on. I don't care, all right?
151
00:11:18,750 --> 00:11:19,875
It's important to me.
152
00:11:19,875 --> 00:11:21,333
‐ You ain't singing that song.
153
00:11:21,333 --> 00:11:22,917
‐ I'll sing what the fuck I want.
154
00:11:23,875 --> 00:11:26,250
‐ Look, if Lady wants to sing the song,
then we should sing the song.
155
00:11:26,250 --> 00:11:28,542
‐ Gives a face to them
little boys being lynched.
156
00:11:28,542 --> 00:11:29,917
‐ Mind your business, Freddy.
157
00:11:30,667 --> 00:11:33,042
Look, bitch,
we ain't going through this again.
158
00:11:39,958 --> 00:11:42,750
‐ You, uh, if you all
ain't Anslinger's friends,
159
00:11:42,750 --> 00:11:44,625
then how come you be sitting with him
every night?
160
00:11:44,625 --> 00:11:46,500
‐ What do you expect us to do, huh?
161
00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:49,208
Run from the man?
I'm trying to protect your ass.
162
00:11:49,875 --> 00:11:51,000
‐ Don't lie to me, nigga.
163
00:11:52,583 --> 00:11:53,833
‐ I ain't lying.
164
00:11:53,833 --> 00:11:55,000
‐ I'm scratching it.
165
00:11:55,667 --> 00:11:57,000
It's for your own good, okay?
166
00:11:58,458 --> 00:11:59,583
Get up, c'mon.
167
00:11:59,583 --> 00:12:02,125
‐ Get the fuck off me. Come on, let's go.
168
00:12:02,708 --> 00:12:05,833
‐ Fuck the feds and fuck Anslinger.
169
00:12:16,292 --> 00:12:17,458
Gentlemen.
170
00:12:17,458 --> 00:12:20,375
You have to help me get this budget
pushed through Congress tomorrow.
171
00:12:20,375 --> 00:12:22,625
‐ We just increased your budget last year.
172
00:12:23,417 --> 00:12:24,750
Thank you, Roy.
173
00:12:24,750 --> 00:12:27,292
McCarthy, I gotta get me
a Roy Cohn just like you.
174
00:12:27,958 --> 00:12:29,583
Why is this so important to you, Harry?
175
00:12:29,583 --> 00:12:33,250
‐ Drugs and niggers are a contamination
to our great American civilization.
176
00:12:33,708 --> 00:12:36,583
‐ Well, that's why we helped you
in the first place.
177
00:12:36,583 --> 00:12:39,542
‐ John, listen to me.
This jazz music is the devil's work.
178
00:12:39,833 --> 00:12:42,667
That's why
this Holiday woman's got to be stopped.
179
00:12:42,667 --> 00:12:44,792
She keeps singing this Strange Fruit song
180
00:12:44,792 --> 00:12:47,125
and it's causing a lot of people
to think the wrong things.
181
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,917
We've warned her to stop singing that,
but she won't.
182
00:12:50,917 --> 00:12:56,875
We've got her husband in the bag,
though she won't stop singing the song.
183
00:12:56,875 --> 00:12:59,042
‐ People are calling the song
a musical starting gun
184
00:12:59,042 --> 00:13:00,958
for the so‐called civil rights movement.
185
00:13:01,458 --> 00:13:03,250
‐ Well, let me ask you a question.
186
00:13:04,167 --> 00:13:05,292
You all got a plan?
187
00:13:05,958 --> 00:13:08,792
We can't just arrest a nigger
for singing a song.
188
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,625
‐ She's inciting a riot.
189
00:13:11,625 --> 00:13:13,000
That's a misdemeanor at best.
190
00:13:14,375 --> 00:13:15,792
She's a drug addict, though.
191
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:18,500
‐ Exactly.
192
00:13:20,042 --> 00:13:21,958
‐ You go after that bitch on the drugs.
193
00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:39,333
‐ Joe Guy!
194
00:13:41,917 --> 00:13:44,250
I came down here for you to save my ass.
195
00:13:44,792 --> 00:13:46,417
You don't need me to do that.
196
00:13:47,833 --> 00:13:49,250
Shit, Lady...
197
00:13:51,292 --> 00:13:53,208
You do that all by yourself.
198
00:14:57,167 --> 00:14:58,625
It's for your own good, okay.
199
00:14:58,625 --> 00:14:59,792
I'm scratching it.
200
00:15:00,167 --> 00:15:01,458
Thank you.
201
00:15:03,167 --> 00:15:04,500
Can you all hear me out there?
202
00:15:04,500 --> 00:15:05,958
Yes!
203
00:15:05,958 --> 00:15:07,917
‐ Oh, good. 'Cause I sure can hear you.
204
00:15:09,708 --> 00:15:11,583
Say hi to Louis Armstrong everybody.
205
00:15:15,625 --> 00:15:19,250
We're recording a V‐Disc tonight
for all our men and women in the service,
206
00:15:19,250 --> 00:15:21,250
and that makes tonight
all the more special.
207
00:15:21,250 --> 00:15:23,042
You all are fighting
a real fight out there
208
00:15:23,042 --> 00:15:24,167
and we love you for it.
209
00:15:32,500 --> 00:15:34,083
I feel lonely, Louis.
210
00:15:35,250 --> 00:15:36,667
Let's say we try Solitude.
211
00:15:37,167 --> 00:15:38,542
‐ Anything for you, Lady.
212
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,083
Hi.
213
00:17:44,833 --> 00:17:46,375
Is Miss Holiday here?
214
00:17:46,375 --> 00:17:48,625
‐ You finally struck up the nerve
to come see her.
215
00:17:49,083 --> 00:17:50,167
Who is that?
216
00:17:50,625 --> 00:17:52,167
‐ It's the little writer nigga
here to see you.
217
00:17:52,167 --> 00:17:54,250
‐ Freddy! Who is it?
218
00:17:54,250 --> 00:17:56,250
‐ Little pretty motherfucker
that be writing all the time.
219
00:17:56,250 --> 00:17:58,083
‐ Oh! Yeah. Let him back.
220
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:03,708
‐ You can give me them flowers,
she don't need 'em.
221
00:18:05,583 --> 00:18:06,875
What, you scared?
222
00:18:08,958 --> 00:18:11,125
You better not be one of 'em
gossip folk either.
223
00:18:15,292 --> 00:18:16,875
- Lady, I'll be back.
- Yeah.
224
00:18:21,458 --> 00:18:24,375
No uniform tonight, soldier boy.
225
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,375
You're here all the time.
226
00:18:28,750 --> 00:18:31,417
Jimmy Fletcher.
227
00:18:32,917 --> 00:18:34,375
‐ Great show last night.
228
00:18:35,417 --> 00:18:36,458
‐ Yeah...
229
00:18:38,750 --> 00:18:40,000
Now it's quiet.
230
00:18:42,500 --> 00:18:43,875
I don't like the quiet.
231
00:18:47,125 --> 00:18:48,167
So noisy, you know.
232
00:18:51,125 --> 00:18:52,833
I've been practicing this new thing.
233
00:18:54,917 --> 00:18:57,375
What you think?
‐ I like it.
234
00:18:57,375 --> 00:18:58,958
‐ It's nice, right?
‐ Yeah.
235
00:18:59,875 --> 00:19:01,917
‐ You don't got a girl?
‐ Nope.
236
00:19:04,625 --> 00:19:08,083
I've served my time for the country,
now, starting a new job.
237
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,750
Your boyfriend give you that stuff?
238
00:19:16,667 --> 00:19:18,042
‐ Why, you want some?
239
00:19:18,583 --> 00:19:19,583
‐ No, thanks.
240
00:19:20,833 --> 00:19:22,583
‐ It takes the edge off, you know.
241
00:19:22,583 --> 00:19:24,208
Two, three...
242
00:19:24,208 --> 00:19:25,375
Pour yourself a drink.
243
00:19:25,375 --> 00:19:26,875
...three.
244
00:19:26,875 --> 00:19:27,875
‐ Sure.
245
00:19:28,333 --> 00:19:30,167
‐ One, two, three.
246
00:19:30,583 --> 00:19:32,542
One, two, three.
247
00:19:34,833 --> 00:19:36,792
‐ Why don't you ever sing Strange Fruit?
248
00:19:37,458 --> 00:19:39,125
‐ Strange Fruit.
249
00:19:41,833 --> 00:19:44,000
I got to be pretty high to sing that one.
250
00:19:46,167 --> 00:19:47,708
‐ Never heard you sing it.
251
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,458
‐ It's a song about important things,
you know.
252
00:19:58,167 --> 00:20:00,208
Things that are going on in the country.
253
00:20:00,917 --> 00:20:03,208
I don't think people know
I care about those things.
254
00:20:04,417 --> 00:20:06,375
Most of my other songs
are just about love.
255
00:20:07,875 --> 00:20:10,000
‐ Well, love is important, too, right?
256
00:20:12,583 --> 00:20:17,417
‐ You know, one day,
I'm gonna quit the drinking.
257
00:20:18,083 --> 00:20:20,000
And get off that stuff, too.
258
00:20:21,458 --> 00:20:23,125
Maybe go to one of those hospitals,
you know,
259
00:20:23,125 --> 00:20:25,542
like Judy Garland, those movie stars.
260
00:20:28,042 --> 00:20:30,417
You know how to do the waltz?
That shit is so pretty.
261
00:20:30,417 --> 00:20:31,417
‐ Yes.
262
00:20:32,417 --> 00:20:33,625
‐ You do?
263
00:20:34,833 --> 00:20:36,500
You would look good in a tuxedo.
264
00:20:36,917 --> 00:20:38,167
‐ You are funny.
265
00:20:39,958 --> 00:20:41,167
‐ Yeah.
266
00:20:46,333 --> 00:20:47,875
'Cause I know what you want.
267
00:21:06,458 --> 00:21:08,750
Which one of my songs
is your favorite song?
268
00:21:09,375 --> 00:21:10,417
‐ All of Me.
269
00:21:20,083 --> 00:21:21,167
Yeah.
270
00:21:21,625 --> 00:21:23,875
All right, well,
that'll be our song then.
271
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,750
So you really know
how to do the waltz, huh?
‐ Yes.
272
00:21:46,625 --> 00:21:49,333
‐ That's good. Come on.
273
00:21:49,333 --> 00:21:51,875
‐ Come now. Come on. Come on.
‐ There you go.
274
00:21:53,792 --> 00:21:54,875
That's good.
275
00:21:55,792 --> 00:21:57,250
- I know.
- Right.
276
00:22:09,333 --> 00:22:10,708
‐ I'm sorry for your loss.
277
00:22:11,958 --> 00:22:14,417
‐ Of course.
I lost my father
when I was young.
278
00:22:14,417 --> 00:22:15,708
‐ My Lord...
279
00:22:20,292 --> 00:22:22,417
‐ Chiquita sat on my lap every day.
280
00:22:22,417 --> 00:22:25,167
It was her dog.
281
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,208
Her dog died.
282
00:22:30,208 --> 00:22:33,458
‐ It was the little one, not the big one.
283
00:22:34,542 --> 00:22:36,375
Mister's all right. Yeah?
284
00:22:36,375 --> 00:22:37,667
Mister's fine, right?
285
00:22:38,333 --> 00:22:39,958
Billie, I told you,
286
00:22:39,958 --> 00:22:42,875
you can't let Chiquita
eat off your plate.
287
00:22:43,333 --> 00:22:45,792
That's why she choked.
‐ Ros.
288
00:22:51,458 --> 00:22:53,708
Someone tells me
289
00:22:53,708 --> 00:22:56,333
you are very tight
290
00:22:56,333 --> 00:22:58,875
with Tallulah Bankhead.
291
00:22:59,208 --> 00:23:00,500
You know what I mean?
292
00:23:01,583 --> 00:23:04,167
‐ Now wait. What Tallulah Bankhead
got to do with this?
293
00:23:04,167 --> 00:23:07,042
You said this interview
was a retrospective on her career.
294
00:23:08,250 --> 00:23:09,250
Cut the tape.
295
00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:11,583
Cut the tape.
296
00:23:13,250 --> 00:23:16,667
Little bitch, you got one more time
to ask one more smartass question.
297
00:23:25,417 --> 00:23:27,667
‐ Nobody saw us come in here, right?
‐ No.
298
00:23:29,167 --> 00:23:31,708
Vogue magazine wants to talk to me
about you.
299
00:23:32,250 --> 00:23:34,375
Should I do it?
‐ Go ahead.
300
00:23:36,042 --> 00:23:37,708
Just take me to your room.
301
00:23:41,208 --> 00:23:43,125
‐ James.
‐ Ma'am.
302
00:23:44,667 --> 00:23:46,417
You know I can't allow her on here.
303
00:23:48,417 --> 00:23:50,333
‐ James, don't you know who this is?
304
00:23:50,333 --> 00:23:52,500
‐ I do know who
she is, Miss Bankhead.
305
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:54,000
Also know I want to keep my job.
306
00:23:56,292 --> 00:23:59,625
Miss Holiday, only Negro allowed
on this elevator's me.
307
00:24:01,208 --> 00:24:02,667
‐ What? So Negroes can't,
308
00:24:03,875 --> 00:24:06,917
but a bunch of goddamn bull daggers can.
309
00:24:09,458 --> 00:24:11,250
‐ Miss Holiday, you got to
take the service elevator.
310
00:24:11,250 --> 00:24:13,917
‐ I'm not taking
a fucking service elevator.
311
00:24:14,667 --> 00:24:15,667
Just move.
312
00:24:16,750 --> 00:24:17,875
Excuse me.
313
00:24:18,417 --> 00:24:19,500
‐ Please.
314
00:24:19,958 --> 00:24:21,917
Now, they're killing us
for less down south.
315
00:24:22,250 --> 00:24:23,542
Lynching men and women.
316
00:24:24,292 --> 00:24:25,958
Please don't cause a fuss here.
317
00:24:33,958 --> 00:24:35,208
‐ Get off me.
318
00:24:36,250 --> 00:24:37,667
Just don't touch me.
319
00:24:45,083 --> 00:24:47,792
‐ I'll take the damn service elevator
with you.
320
00:25:09,708 --> 00:25:11,042
‐ Damn it.
321
00:26:03,250 --> 00:26:04,250
‐ Billie!
‐ Billie!
322
00:26:08,333 --> 00:26:10,542
We can't wait
to hear you sing, Billie!
323
00:26:11,417 --> 00:26:14,250
- Sing Strange Fruit.- Strange Fruit, Billie.
324
00:26:21,917 --> 00:26:23,292
‐ Get her off that stage.
325
00:26:35,042 --> 00:26:38,292
‐ We gotta get the hell outta here.
‐ Hey, Prez! Get off me.
326
00:26:38,625 --> 00:26:41,208
- Hey, leave her alone!
- What are you doing?
327
00:26:44,083 --> 00:26:45,875
I'm singing this goddamn song!
328
00:26:45,875 --> 00:26:47,833
I'm singing this song!
329
00:26:56,667 --> 00:26:57,958
Hurry your ass up!
330
00:27:08,708 --> 00:27:10,542
You're safe here, baby.
331
00:27:10,542 --> 00:27:13,875
Hey, Joe honey, can you get me
some ice cream, please?
332
00:27:13,875 --> 00:27:15,292
‐ I don't want any ice cream.
333
00:27:15,292 --> 00:27:17,458
‐ Come on, please,
baby, just go to Libby's,
334
00:27:17,458 --> 00:27:18,667
right around the corner.
335
00:27:19,625 --> 00:27:21,417
That sound good.
Ice cream sound good.
336
00:27:21,417 --> 00:27:24,250
‐ All right, baby, I'mma get you
some ice cream, okay?
337
00:27:24,750 --> 00:27:27,083
‐ Thank you, honey.
‐ Hold my head up.
338
00:27:30,333 --> 00:27:31,792
What kind of ice cream you want?
339
00:27:31,792 --> 00:27:34,167
‐ Chocolate ice cream,
I want chocolate ice cream.
340
00:27:34,167 --> 00:27:35,875
‐ Chocolate ice cream on the way.
341
00:27:37,292 --> 00:27:40,583
You ain't gettin' me no ice cream.
You can't get me shit, you.
342
00:27:40,583 --> 00:27:42,125
Where you going? Ice cream that way.
343
00:27:42,125 --> 00:27:44,417
‐ Mm. Go somewhere where the ice cream is.
344
00:27:45,667 --> 00:27:47,750
‐ Get up, Joe.
‐ Mm‐mm.
345
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,667
‐ Fine, I'll go get it myself.
346
00:28:00,417 --> 00:28:02,333
‐ Then you gotta put some clothes on.
347
00:28:02,333 --> 00:28:04,000
‐ I got some clothes on.
348
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,667
You don't see this coat on me?
349
00:28:06,125 --> 00:28:07,375
‐ Nigga, that's my coat.
350
00:28:08,458 --> 00:28:09,750
‐ Shut up, stupid.
351
00:28:21,917 --> 00:28:23,125
It's in here somewhere.
352
00:28:23,125 --> 00:28:24,542
‐ Joe, get up, the Feds!
353
00:28:24,542 --> 00:28:26,042
‐ Both of you are under arrest.
354
00:28:26,042 --> 00:28:27,958
No, Holiday. Stop, stop!
355
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:30,500
Stop!
356
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:34,250
Get up.
357
00:28:38,208 --> 00:28:40,042
- Give me your hands.
- Fuck off of me, man.
358
00:28:40,042 --> 00:28:42,500
You drank with me backstage
359
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:44,333
pretending to be a soldier.
360
00:28:44,958 --> 00:28:48,042
That's low.
‐ Punch that nigga in his face, Billie.
361
00:28:48,833 --> 00:28:50,750
‐ I almost kissed your ugly ass.
362
00:28:52,458 --> 00:28:55,875
You came to my baby's
goddamn funeral, Jimmy.
363
00:28:58,417 --> 00:29:01,083
And all the while you're just
some fucking fed!
364
00:29:04,583 --> 00:29:07,333
You probably don't like
any of my music, do you?
365
00:29:12,042 --> 00:29:14,917
‐ You're under arrest, Miss Holiday.
366
00:29:16,833 --> 00:29:20,167
‐ And you're a lying Black son‐of‐a‐bitch.
367
00:29:23,500 --> 00:29:27,000
‐ Policewoman will be here shortly
to search you for further evidence.
368
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,417
‐ You're gonna search me?
369
00:29:28,917 --> 00:29:30,250
You search me.
370
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,000
That police bitch is only
gonna feel me up.
371
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,083
‐ No, ma'am.
‐ That's what you really
been wanting.
372
00:29:39,792 --> 00:29:41,708
‐ Miss Holiday,
keep your clothes on, please.
373
00:29:47,958 --> 00:29:49,708
‐ You gonna arrest me...
374
00:29:53,458 --> 00:29:55,625
Agent Fletcher.
375
00:30:00,792 --> 00:30:02,792
- Keep out of the way.
- Miss Holiday!
376
00:30:03,333 --> 00:30:04,708
- Give her some room.
- Miss Holiday.
377
00:30:05,792 --> 00:30:07,208
‐ Billie, why did you...
378
00:30:08,292 --> 00:30:09,833
Talk to him. There.
379
00:30:10,542 --> 00:30:11,708
Move, out of the way.
380
00:30:12,292 --> 00:30:13,917
‐ You should feel ashamed.
381
00:30:15,958 --> 00:30:17,917
You stay in trouble with the law,
Miss Holiday.
382
00:30:18,750 --> 00:30:20,417
Don't you want to set
an example for your race
383
00:30:20,417 --> 00:30:22,292
like Ella Fitzgerald and Marian Anderson?
384
00:30:25,375 --> 00:30:27,833
‐ You know, the people that are
hardest on me are my own race.
385
00:30:28,750 --> 00:30:30,292
I need help.
386
00:30:30,292 --> 00:30:31,417
Not jail time.
387
00:30:37,208 --> 00:30:38,208
‐ Move.
388
00:30:41,667 --> 00:30:43,375
- It's Fletcher, right?
- Yes, sir.
389
00:30:43,375 --> 00:30:45,542
‐ Congratulations on your fine work.
390
00:30:46,625 --> 00:30:47,875
‐ Thank you, Mr. Anslinger.
391
00:30:47,875 --> 00:30:51,833
‐ The United States vs. Billie Holiday.
Docket number 14‐243.
392
00:30:51,833 --> 00:30:54,083
The honorable
Judge Cullen Ganey presiding.
393
00:30:54,083 --> 00:30:55,083
All rise.
394
00:30:56,792 --> 00:30:59,125
We need to knowthe whole truth about your addiction.
395
00:30:59,958 --> 00:31:02,792
We want you to help us trace
the drug down to the source.
396
00:31:04,625 --> 00:31:08,125
Now the police found heroin in your room
at the Attucks Hotel.
397
00:31:08,667 --> 00:31:10,250
Who supplies you?
398
00:31:21,292 --> 00:31:24,125
‐ Just send me to a hospital.
Get this over with.
399
00:31:38,708 --> 00:31:40,083
‐ Miss Holiday...
400
00:31:42,083 --> 00:31:45,417
I hereby sentence you
to one year and a day...
401
00:31:45,417 --> 00:31:46,750
To jail?
402
00:31:46,750 --> 00:31:49,042
- You'll be remanded
to Alderson Women's Prison.
- Joe! Joe!
403
00:31:49,042 --> 00:31:50,917
Wait, wait! Get your hands off me!
404
00:31:50,917 --> 00:31:53,417
Hey, Joe. You told me
they'd send me to a hospital.
405
00:31:53,417 --> 00:31:54,708
Y'all set me up!
406
00:31:54,708 --> 00:31:57,500
Y'all folks set me up.
Joe, I paid your ass all that money.
407
00:31:57,500 --> 00:31:59,167
Nigga, you go to jail.
408
00:31:59,167 --> 00:32:00,750
I trusted you, Joe.
409
00:32:06,792 --> 00:32:08,542
Stand up, women.
410
00:32:13,708 --> 00:32:16,125
Stand up.
You ain't Billie Holiday in here.
411
00:32:17,417 --> 00:32:19,375
‐ Jimmy.
‐ You did it.
412
00:32:22,292 --> 00:32:23,958
‐ I'm proud of you.
413
00:32:38,667 --> 00:32:41,917
‐ Hey, Shirley, you got anything?
‐ Yes. Here you go.
414
00:32:51,792 --> 00:32:54,542
They knew they couldn't
get no white boys to infiltrate Harlem.
415
00:32:54,542 --> 00:32:56,792
So they had us do it
and you're leading it.
416
00:32:58,417 --> 00:33:00,250
‐ Yes, Sam, I guess I am.
417
00:33:02,375 --> 00:33:04,333
‐ You're paving the way for all of us.
418
00:33:04,833 --> 00:33:06,708
Hoover and them white boys
better get ready.
419
00:33:07,375 --> 00:33:10,542
Can't nobody do it better than a nigga
when he gets the opportunity.
420
00:33:15,833 --> 00:33:18,792
‐ "You should be congratulating me
on my new job
421
00:33:18,792 --> 00:33:20,125
that I start tomorrow."
422
00:33:20,667 --> 00:33:24,333
You lied to me,
just like you lied to Miss Holiday.
423
00:33:25,375 --> 00:33:28,792
Why wouldn't you tell me that
you're working as a federal agent?
424
00:33:28,792 --> 00:33:30,917
‐ They swear you to secrecy, Mom.
425
00:33:31,375 --> 00:33:34,750
‐ You could do anything with yourself.
You don't even have to work.
426
00:33:35,667 --> 00:33:36,917
Why that?
427
00:33:39,208 --> 00:33:40,958
‐ I didn't want to be an undertaker.
428
00:33:41,500 --> 00:33:45,458
‐ The mortuary business didn't work out
so bad for us, James.
429
00:33:46,208 --> 00:33:49,792
Your father's money
left you with opportunities
430
00:33:49,792 --> 00:33:51,708
no ordinary Negroes have.
431
00:33:52,375 --> 00:33:54,750
‐ Drugs are turning Harlem upside down.
432
00:33:55,292 --> 00:33:56,875
I wanted to make a difference.
433
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,750
I am one of the first
Black federal agents ever.
434
00:34:03,125 --> 00:34:05,125
‐ They're using you.
435
00:34:06,500 --> 00:34:08,667
It's not just about the drugs.
436
00:34:08,667 --> 00:34:10,625
They don't want her singing that song,
437
00:34:10,625 --> 00:34:13,042
but if she don't do it, who will?
438
00:34:13,042 --> 00:34:16,167
Ain't no other Negro star
bold enough to do it.
439
00:34:16,792 --> 00:34:18,917
She's singing it for all of us.
440
00:34:18,917 --> 00:34:20,583
That young lady is a hero.
441
00:35:59,458 --> 00:36:02,000
And, uh, even the recording dates,
442
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:06,458
Billie seemed to be so thrilledto make the tape with each other.
443
00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:08,875
‐ I'll probably never even marry again.
444
00:36:08,875 --> 00:36:11,958
I know I'm gonna find my ass
right back up in this jail cell.
445
00:36:38,375 --> 00:36:40,000
‐ Why'd you do it?
446
00:36:42,167 --> 00:36:44,458
‐ My father told me when I was a kid
447
00:36:44,458 --> 00:36:46,583
that drugs would be
the death of our people.
448
00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:51,625
‐ For you to be one of them agents,
you sure is stupid.
449
00:36:53,583 --> 00:36:56,417
I'mma tell you something real
about that person you put in jail.
450
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:58,458
She was raped...
451
00:36:59,625 --> 00:37:01,667
when she was just 10 years old.
452
00:37:02,500 --> 00:37:05,208
You don't know how it is
to be missing something in your life
453
00:37:05,208 --> 00:37:07,083
that only a fix seems to fill.
454
00:37:08,333 --> 00:37:10,083
She get with these men,
455
00:37:12,917 --> 00:37:14,417
and they treat her bad.
456
00:37:15,125 --> 00:37:17,625
She run around, she steal little trinkets.
457
00:37:20,458 --> 00:37:23,542
She look like a million bucks,
but she feels like nothing.
458
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,708
Hop eases the pain,
but then that shit come right back
459
00:37:29,708 --> 00:37:31,417
and it hit harder than before.
460
00:37:32,458 --> 00:37:33,667
Like a hammer.
461
00:37:38,250 --> 00:37:40,125
Billie ain't got nobody.
462
00:37:43,542 --> 00:37:45,333
Singing is her life and...
463
00:37:48,542 --> 00:37:50,875
She give that away to the world.
464
00:37:50,875 --> 00:37:53,375
So, at the end of the day,
she don't hurt nobody but herself.
465
00:38:15,833 --> 00:38:17,417
‐ Here for Mr. Anslinger.
466
00:38:17,417 --> 00:38:20,000
‐ What do you want?
‐ Mr. Anslinger?
467
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,708
It's Agent James Fletcher.
468
00:38:22,667 --> 00:38:23,667
‐ Sit down.
469
00:38:33,125 --> 00:38:34,167
‐ Come on.
470
00:38:37,375 --> 00:38:39,042
‐ There's nothing on Holiday.
471
00:38:41,167 --> 00:38:43,708
Well, how can there be, sir?
She's in jail.
472
00:38:47,792 --> 00:38:49,167
Pardon me for asking,
473
00:38:50,042 --> 00:38:52,125
but why is that song so important to us?
474
00:38:52,750 --> 00:38:54,417
‐ Hoover says it's un‐American.
475
00:38:55,625 --> 00:38:57,208
You've heard those lyrics.
476
00:38:57,208 --> 00:38:59,917
They provoke people, in the wrong way.
477
00:39:02,625 --> 00:39:03,625
‐ The wrong way.
478
00:39:06,500 --> 00:39:08,333
What would you have me do, sir?
479
00:39:08,333 --> 00:39:09,833
‐ You're a good liar.
480
00:39:11,208 --> 00:39:14,583
Now, I need you to go down to the prison
and tell her you're sorry.
481
00:39:16,292 --> 00:39:17,625
She'll believe you.
482
00:39:18,167 --> 00:39:19,875
She's a sucker for men.
483
00:39:23,708 --> 00:39:24,917
‐ Yes, sir.
484
00:39:28,667 --> 00:39:31,333
‐ We'll make sure she never gets
that cabaret license back.
485
00:39:38,542 --> 00:39:40,958
‐ Miss Holiday, you can't trust anyone.
486
00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:45,958
They're gonna set you up
as soon as you get out of here.
487
00:39:46,458 --> 00:39:49,250
They want you down and they want me
to take you down again.
488
00:39:50,167 --> 00:39:51,250
I won't.
489
00:39:53,208 --> 00:39:54,917
‐ What's your game, man?
490
00:39:56,917 --> 00:39:58,625
‐ I thought I was doing the right thing.
491
00:39:59,417 --> 00:40:00,875
‐ Right thing, huh?
492
00:40:05,875 --> 00:40:07,458
You look older, soldier boy.
493
00:40:11,583 --> 00:40:13,542
‐ You said you'd kick that stuff.
494
00:40:17,292 --> 00:40:19,125
Even in prison, you're beautiful.
495
00:40:19,500 --> 00:40:21,042
‐ Don't flirt with me.
496
00:40:22,208 --> 00:40:23,750
You ain't my kind of guy.
497
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Let's go.
498
00:40:36,167 --> 00:40:39,542
- That took forever.
- You know how trains can be.
499
00:40:41,042 --> 00:40:42,250
Hey.
500
00:40:46,208 --> 00:40:47,875
‐ I hate baby's breath.
501
00:40:49,583 --> 00:40:53,000
‐ Hi, baby. Mommy missed you so much.
502
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,833
I didn't think he'd remember me.
503
00:40:55,833 --> 00:40:58,583
This is Ed Fishman. He's a good manager.
504
00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:00,500
Really?
505
00:41:00,958 --> 00:41:02,208
What's he gonna do for me?
506
00:41:02,208 --> 00:41:03,292
Tell her.
507
00:41:04,333 --> 00:41:08,375
‐ Billie Holiday headlining
at Carnegie Hall.
508
00:41:09,542 --> 00:41:11,000
Headlining, kid.
509
00:41:12,875 --> 00:41:14,292
‐ No one will come to see me.
510
00:41:15,125 --> 00:41:16,875
I've been reading the papers.
511
00:41:17,958 --> 00:41:20,292
All them nasty things
they're saying about me.
512
00:41:20,875 --> 00:41:22,583
‐ Tickets went on sale yesterday
513
00:41:23,167 --> 00:41:24,833
and we're selling pretty good.
514
00:41:26,417 --> 00:41:28,167
‐ They just want to hear you sing, Lady.
515
00:41:28,167 --> 00:41:29,375
‐ That's all.
516
00:41:29,625 --> 00:41:31,583
Hey, why don't you stay at Lester's?
517
00:41:31,583 --> 00:41:34,542
‐ Yeah, we can go over the numbers
and you can eat some of Mama's chitlins.
518
00:41:34,542 --> 00:41:36,708
‐ Yeah, I know
what the two of y'all are thinking.
519
00:41:37,917 --> 00:41:39,333
I beat it this time.
520
00:41:41,083 --> 00:41:43,250
I don't plan on
doing none of that shit again.
521
00:41:48,042 --> 00:41:49,458
Carnegie Hall, huh?
522
00:41:51,708 --> 00:41:54,208
Hot damn, Prez!
523
00:41:59,792 --> 00:42:01,583
- Who are you smiling at?
- Shit.
524
00:42:01,583 --> 00:42:03,833
- Oh, hell no, not that nigga.
- She's something.
525
00:42:03,833 --> 00:42:06,208
‐ Take your goddamn dog. Come on.
526
00:42:07,167 --> 00:42:08,375
Well, I'll be damned.
527
00:42:08,375 --> 00:42:09,917
Your little visit to her worked.
528
00:42:11,208 --> 00:42:13,583
I told you not
to get goddamn baby's breath.
529
00:42:15,500 --> 00:42:17,000
They didn't have
no goddamn tulips.
530
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:18,708
What the fuck you want me to do?
Grow 'em out my ass?
531
00:42:24,750 --> 00:42:26,208
Hey, Miss Mona.
532
00:42:29,750 --> 00:42:32,625
Listen, Bobby, I had an idea.
‐ What?
533
00:42:32,625 --> 00:42:35,875
‐ I think we should make the tune
more of a conversation, you know?
534
00:42:35,875 --> 00:42:38,208
And the band take their cue
from you, Prez.
535
00:42:38,500 --> 00:42:40,750
You play it. You know how you play it.
536
00:42:49,917 --> 00:42:52,083
Not now, honey. Mommy's working.
537
00:42:59,375 --> 00:43:00,917
‐ Yeah.
‐ You dig?
538
00:43:00,917 --> 00:43:03,292
‐ I dig, I dig. Yeah.
‐ You think that'll work?
539
00:43:03,292 --> 00:43:05,167
So glad to have you back, Lady.
540
00:43:05,167 --> 00:43:06,625
Yeah, I'm not feeling too bad.
541
00:43:10,667 --> 00:43:12,333
You know, I've been thinking.
542
00:43:12,333 --> 00:43:15,083
I think we should integrate
the audience for the show.
543
00:43:15,083 --> 00:43:17,083
You know, Blacks and whites
sitting together,
544
00:43:17,083 --> 00:43:19,125
you know, if...
545
00:43:19,875 --> 00:43:21,708
I feel like it would be
more of a party that way.
546
00:43:21,708 --> 00:43:25,375
You know, Carnegie Hall and Broadway,
the whole scene, you know what I mean?
547
00:43:25,375 --> 00:43:27,292
It's meant to keep the Negroes out.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
548
00:43:27,542 --> 00:43:29,917
‐ Let's change it up a little bit.
Do something different.
549
00:43:30,500 --> 00:43:32,375
‐ It's a great idea.
‐ You know.
550
00:43:32,875 --> 00:43:35,500
Oh, no. Miss Mona?
551
00:43:36,083 --> 00:43:37,542
‐ Yes, Miss Holiday?
552
00:43:37,542 --> 00:43:40,000
Honey, could you pull
that pinstripe suit out for me?
553
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,708
- ‐ Okay.
- Yeah, I'm gonna go pray.
554
00:44:15,667 --> 00:44:17,583
It's like the whole world's
out there right now.
555
00:44:17,583 --> 00:44:20,333
‐ What'd I tell ya?
Packed house, Billie, packed house.
556
00:44:21,667 --> 00:44:24,708
- Will you keep your head still?
- You know what? Stop! Stop!
557
00:44:25,208 --> 00:44:26,375
I'll do it myself.
558
00:44:29,625 --> 00:44:31,625
Shit!
559
00:44:37,042 --> 00:44:38,292
All right, I gotta go.
560
00:44:46,583 --> 00:44:48,708
Motherfucker, what are you doing?
561
00:44:48,708 --> 00:44:50,625
- Who's out there right now?
- It's funny you should ask.
562
00:44:50,625 --> 00:44:52,500
I have a whole listof the most important...
563
00:45:26,042 --> 00:45:27,958
‐ She does look incredible.
564
00:45:27,958 --> 00:45:30,792
‐ Thank you.Thank you, everybody.
565
00:45:31,875 --> 00:45:35,292
Well, I'm back.
566
00:45:39,542 --> 00:45:41,125
And jail was fun.
567
00:45:42,708 --> 00:45:44,417
‐ Sing Strange Fruit.
568
00:45:47,667 --> 00:45:49,917
‐ I'm afraid I won't be able to dothat one tonight, honey.
569
00:45:52,500 --> 00:45:53,792
‐ I love you, Billie!
570
00:45:54,583 --> 00:45:56,292
‐ I'm a little nervous up here tonight.
571
00:45:56,792 --> 00:45:58,458
All these reporters keep asking me,
572
00:45:58,917 --> 00:46:00,875
"Billie, why you do the things you do?"
573
00:46:01,583 --> 00:46:04,208
You know, I should be more likethis person or that person.
574
00:46:04,750 --> 00:46:06,250
This is what I tell them.
575
00:49:56,958 --> 00:49:59,708
‐ What the hell you mean
you can't get my cabaret card back?
576
00:49:59,708 --> 00:50:01,417
We had three lawyers working on it.
577
00:50:01,417 --> 00:50:03,125
They all came back empty‐handed, I...
578
00:50:03,125 --> 00:50:05,375
‐ Well, they won't let me sing nowhere
without my card.
579
00:50:05,375 --> 00:50:07,583
No clubs, no money, no nothing.
580
00:50:07,583 --> 00:50:09,250
‐ We'll work something out.
581
00:50:10,083 --> 00:50:11,833
‐ You ain't working fuck out!
582
00:50:12,958 --> 00:50:14,500
You son of a bitch!
583
00:50:14,958 --> 00:50:16,292
‐ You're fucking high.
584
00:50:34,042 --> 00:50:35,792
‐ Of course I'm high, Ed.
585
00:50:42,625 --> 00:50:44,458
I wanted to put on a great show.
586
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,375
All the fans...
587
00:50:54,750 --> 00:50:58,833
and all those goddamn feds
sitting in the front row.
588
00:51:02,667 --> 00:51:04,167
Of course I'm high.
589
00:51:06,500 --> 00:51:07,792
Shit.
590
00:51:19,417 --> 00:51:21,083
How am I supposed to work
591
00:51:25,375 --> 00:51:27,375
if I don't got my fucking card, huh?
592
00:52:00,542 --> 00:52:02,792
‐ How in the hell you pull this off?
593
00:52:04,208 --> 00:52:06,458
Is that the band standing up there?
‐ Mm‐hmm.
594
00:52:07,667 --> 00:52:09,375
‐ Is that Ros and Freddy right there?
‐ Yep.
595
00:52:09,375 --> 00:52:12,333
‐ None of your goddamn business, baby.
Now, get out there and sing a song.
596
00:52:12,750 --> 00:52:16,417
‐ Prez, you know I can get arrested
for singing without my cabaret card.
597
00:52:16,417 --> 00:52:19,958
‐ Bobby Tucker swears this John Levy
cat got all the hookups. Come on.
598
00:52:20,875 --> 00:52:23,417
And he's a looker, too.
‐ Mmm.
599
00:52:23,917 --> 00:52:25,000
Yeah.
600
00:52:26,625 --> 00:52:28,500
You don't even know
what we're gonna sing.
601
00:52:29,958 --> 00:52:31,167
Look at y'all fools.
602
00:52:31,458 --> 00:52:33,708
How y'all let him talk y'all into this?
603
00:52:34,833 --> 00:52:37,250
‐ We'll figure it out like we always do.
604
00:52:37,542 --> 00:52:39,042
You just gotta handle him.
605
00:52:43,667 --> 00:52:46,208
All right, y'all.
We kinda gotta get ready for anything.
606
00:52:55,250 --> 00:52:57,625
‐ Am I gonna get arrested
for singing in here?
607
00:53:00,083 --> 00:53:01,167
‐ Come here.
608
00:53:13,917 --> 00:53:16,292
From now on, I don't want you
to worry about none of that.
609
00:53:17,083 --> 00:53:18,208
I'll pay off the right people.
610
00:53:18,542 --> 00:53:20,292
‐ And you would do that for me?
611
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:23,458
‐ You just got a standing ovation
612
00:53:23,458 --> 00:53:26,125
and three curtain calls from
a sold‐out crowd at Carnegie Hall.
613
00:53:27,625 --> 00:53:29,542
Plus, the cops owe me some favors.
614
00:53:31,417 --> 00:53:34,000
You and me might make a swell team.
615
00:53:37,458 --> 00:53:40,292
‐ Only I decide when
it's time to team up that way.
616
00:53:41,625 --> 00:53:43,417
‐ You got a divorce from Monroe,
didn't you?
617
00:53:44,542 --> 00:53:46,250
‐ That ain't none of your business.
618
00:53:47,417 --> 00:53:48,958
Shit. I'm here to sing.
619
00:53:49,417 --> 00:53:50,875
Make you some money.
620
00:53:51,875 --> 00:53:53,917
‐ Well, go on and make me some money then.
621
00:54:14,542 --> 00:54:16,083
‐ Thank you.
622
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,833
Well, I'm sure you've all heard,
623
00:54:18,833 --> 00:54:20,792
they ain't giving memy cabaret card back yet.
624
00:54:20,792 --> 00:54:22,833
- Yeah, boo!
- They suck!
625
00:54:23,542 --> 00:54:25,458
‐ So to keep working,I've been having to run around
626
00:54:25,458 --> 00:54:28,542
singing in Washington and Phillybecause I don't need no card there
627
00:54:28,542 --> 00:54:30,583
but tonight...
628
00:54:30,583 --> 00:54:32,292
Feels good to be back home.
629
00:54:32,875 --> 00:54:35,708
Thank you, John.
630
00:54:37,167 --> 00:54:39,625
So, I think we're gonnatry something new tonight.
631
00:54:39,625 --> 00:54:42,333
Them There Eyes.Them There Eyes.
632
00:56:33,417 --> 00:56:34,875
All right!
633
00:56:44,125 --> 00:56:46,750
...to that van with a sign saying,
634
00:56:46,750 --> 00:56:49,792
"Welcome, Satchmo and his All‐Stars
635
00:56:49,792 --> 00:56:52,208
from the New Orleans Roman Jazz band."
636
00:56:52,208 --> 00:56:54,375
We played about three days concert there
637
00:56:54,375 --> 00:56:56,875
and one of the nights we went outto the trumpet player's home...
638
00:56:56,875 --> 00:56:58,792
Telling folks I'm a musician.
639
00:56:58,792 --> 00:57:00,292
Say again?
640
00:57:00,292 --> 00:57:02,167
‐ Telling folks I'm a musician.
641
00:57:03,542 --> 00:57:05,583
‐ Just make sure they don't ask you
to play something.
642
00:57:19,750 --> 00:57:21,167
‐ How about that, nigga?
643
00:57:23,167 --> 00:57:24,292
‐ What you got?
644
00:57:25,083 --> 00:57:27,000
‐ Marleen's whorehouse closed.
645
00:57:29,792 --> 00:57:31,917
At least I ain't gotta worry
about giving my wife the clap no more.
646
00:57:35,333 --> 00:57:36,833
‐ Got anything on Louis or Charlie?
647
00:57:37,500 --> 00:57:38,750
‐ Nothing that'll stick.
648
00:57:41,583 --> 00:57:43,458
Do you ever feel strange
about what we're doing, Jimmy?
649
00:57:45,333 --> 00:57:46,792
‐ You sound like my mother.
650
00:57:47,417 --> 00:57:50,208
‐ They got us down in the basement
trying to take out Negroes.
651
00:57:51,583 --> 00:57:53,375
The people I respect, you know?
652
00:58:11,917 --> 00:58:14,583
‐ I told you they don't serve
no piña coladas in here, Ros.
653
00:58:14,583 --> 00:58:18,042
‐ You need to figure out how you're going
to get us paid from that creep.
654
00:58:18,042 --> 00:58:19,042
‐ Yeah.
655
00:58:28,500 --> 00:58:29,667
‐ One moment, Miss Holiday.
656
00:58:29,667 --> 00:58:31,708
Let me arrange a special table for you.
657
00:58:31,708 --> 00:58:33,708
‐ Sure. Thanks.
‐ Who you looking at?
658
00:58:36,375 --> 00:58:37,458
Oh, God!
659
00:58:40,583 --> 00:58:42,583
‐ Hey, baby.
660
00:58:45,500 --> 00:58:47,125
How you doing?
‐ Good.
661
00:58:47,125 --> 00:58:49,000
Glad we're finally having dinner tonight.
662
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:50,375
‐ Yeah, about that...
663
00:58:50,375 --> 00:58:52,375
I gotta run by the number house.
‐ What?
664
00:58:52,375 --> 00:58:54,250
Baby, no, come on.
You said you was eating with us tonight.
665
00:58:54,250 --> 00:58:56,083
‐ I'm sorry. Forgot I had business.
666
00:58:58,250 --> 00:59:00,292
I'll see you back at the club.
‐ Yeah, sure.
667
00:59:03,500 --> 00:59:04,917
Hey, Levy!
668
00:59:04,917 --> 00:59:07,333
Goddamn! You done shorted me
my money again, nigga.
669
00:59:07,333 --> 00:59:08,458
‐ Told you.
670
00:59:09,417 --> 00:59:12,250
- Hey, who's that?
- Louis McKay.
671
00:59:12,250 --> 00:59:13,917
Some so‐called businessman.
672
00:59:13,917 --> 00:59:16,792
He's really just a boxer and a damn pimp.
He's trouble.
673
00:59:17,625 --> 00:59:19,792
‐ Your table is ready, Miss Holiday.
Just this way.
674
00:59:19,792 --> 00:59:21,917
‐ Luigi, that ain't necessary.
675
00:59:21,917 --> 00:59:24,250
Miss Holiday will be dining
with me tonight.
676
00:59:25,125 --> 00:59:26,708
‐ Oh.
677
00:59:26,708 --> 00:59:28,375
That's mighty swell of you.
678
00:59:28,917 --> 00:59:30,417
Ain't that nice, Ros.
679
00:59:31,917 --> 00:59:33,042
Come on, let's go.
680
00:59:33,042 --> 00:59:35,000
‐ The table's just for two, though.
681
00:59:36,625 --> 00:59:37,833
‐ Oh.
682
00:59:41,500 --> 00:59:42,875
Well...
683
00:59:43,958 --> 00:59:47,125
Well, you wouldn't want to eat with us,
would you?
684
00:59:47,917 --> 00:59:49,208
Do you?
685
00:59:50,042 --> 00:59:52,250
I'll see you at the club later. Yeah?
686
00:59:52,250 --> 00:59:53,625
Here, take the baby from me.
687
00:59:54,917 --> 00:59:57,417
Take the baby. Take the baby. Take her!
688
01:00:08,500 --> 01:00:10,458
Tallulah Bankhead.
689
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:12,083
Thank you for meeting me.
690
01:00:14,583 --> 01:00:16,750
I'm Federal Agent Harry Anslinger.
691
01:00:22,208 --> 01:00:24,292
‐ Who the hell do you think
you're playing with?
692
01:00:25,667 --> 01:00:26,958
What is this?
693
01:00:27,583 --> 01:00:29,500
‐ I know you're friends with Miss Holiday.
694
01:00:30,917 --> 01:00:32,125
We're trying to help her.
695
01:00:32,708 --> 01:00:35,500
‐ I just bet you are.
696
01:00:36,458 --> 01:00:39,667
‐ We have intel that you don't approve
of her drug use.
697
01:00:39,667 --> 01:00:42,208
‐ I am unaware of any drug use
by Miss Holiday.
698
01:00:44,667 --> 01:00:46,625
‐ Would you consider her a friend?
699
01:00:47,667 --> 01:00:48,875
‐ Yes.
700
01:00:49,917 --> 01:00:51,583
Billie's got lots of friends.
701
01:00:52,792 --> 01:00:57,667
‐ I hear she likes to get to know
her lady friends... intimately.
702
01:00:59,125 --> 01:01:01,583
‐ I wouldn't know about that.
703
01:01:02,417 --> 01:01:05,042
‐ Are you sexually involved
with Miss Holiday?
704
01:01:10,833 --> 01:01:12,542
The whole thing was unnerving.
705
01:01:12,542 --> 01:01:15,958
Darling, I'm sorry you had
to go through all that, Bankhead.
706
01:01:16,667 --> 01:01:18,625
‐ You're not still using that stuff,
are you?
707
01:01:18,625 --> 01:01:21,292
‐ Come on, Bank. It's such a nice day.
Can't we just enjoy it, please?
708
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,625
‐ How's that John Levy treating you?
709
01:01:23,625 --> 01:01:25,250
‐ Well, I'm singing in his club.
710
01:01:26,083 --> 01:01:27,750
‐ I heard he's stealing your money.
711
01:01:27,750 --> 01:01:30,542
You could do better.
They're all using you.
712
01:01:30,542 --> 01:01:32,708
‐ What makes you think I'm not using him?
713
01:01:34,500 --> 01:01:36,583
Mister, knock it off. Come on.
714
01:01:38,333 --> 01:01:40,708
You'll never understand my life,
white girl.
715
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,250
See, Mister can beg, but he can't heel.
716
01:01:45,250 --> 01:01:46,958
But it's not his fault.
I ain't train him right.
717
01:01:46,958 --> 01:01:48,917
I'm gonna train this one.
‐ Yeah.
718
01:01:52,042 --> 01:01:53,250
‐ Small world.
719
01:01:55,458 --> 01:01:56,917
‐ Only if you following me.
720
01:01:56,917 --> 01:02:00,042
‐ Hmm! I'll follow you
to the moon and back, Lady.
721
01:02:00,042 --> 01:02:02,083
Train that dog for you for free.
722
01:02:02,875 --> 01:02:06,208
How about we ditch these snow bunnies
and go get into some black shit?
723
01:02:08,333 --> 01:02:10,625
‐ I loathe the East End.
724
01:02:12,208 --> 01:02:14,000
Really, Billie?
725
01:02:22,625 --> 01:02:24,125
He won't miss us none.
726
01:02:25,667 --> 01:02:27,625
I've been singing here all this time.
727
01:02:27,625 --> 01:02:29,208
Packing that motherfucker.
728
01:02:31,333 --> 01:02:33,667
Did he think he not gonna pay us? Shit.
729
01:02:54,708 --> 01:02:56,167
What you mean, "No"?
730
01:02:56,167 --> 01:02:58,250
‐ Nigga, I'm tired of going to jail.
731
01:02:58,250 --> 01:03:00,417
‐ Come on, Joe. Baby, please, okay?
732
01:03:00,417 --> 01:03:03,208
I just need a little‐‐
I need a little taste. A little taste.
733
01:03:03,208 --> 01:03:06,500
‐ Why? You've been clean for a minute now.
734
01:03:06,500 --> 01:03:08,500
You said we could beat this shit, Billie,
735
01:03:08,500 --> 01:03:09,542
and we can.
736
01:03:12,792 --> 01:03:14,667
‐ Look, I know I did, Joe, okay?
737
01:03:14,667 --> 01:03:16,250
I know I did, but...
738
01:03:16,250 --> 01:03:17,667
You know, you gotta understand, baby.
739
01:03:17,667 --> 01:03:19,708
Right now, I'm in a situation, you know.
740
01:03:19,708 --> 01:03:21,500
And this fucking Levy cat...
741
01:03:21,500 --> 01:03:23,625
You know, he's been
fucking with me, you know?
742
01:03:24,375 --> 01:03:26,667
‐ Look, there's always gonna be somebodyfucking with us.
743
01:03:27,083 --> 01:03:29,375
Hey, what happened to that clinic
you was talking about?
744
01:03:31,667 --> 01:03:32,792
‐ Fuck!
745
01:03:35,250 --> 01:03:37,458
Look, fuck that clinic shit, Joe.
746
01:03:37,458 --> 01:03:38,917
I need some now.
747
01:03:38,917 --> 01:03:41,792
‐ Man, shit. Look,
how about we just go together?
748
01:03:42,250 --> 01:03:44,417
Look, you done took his cash.
749
01:03:44,417 --> 01:03:46,250
Why don't we make some good use of it?
750
01:03:46,250 --> 01:03:48,000
‐ It's not his cash.
751
01:03:48,458 --> 01:03:49,625
This is not his money.
752
01:03:49,625 --> 01:03:51,542
Nigga, this my motherfucking money.
753
01:03:51,542 --> 01:03:54,333
You know what, Joe? Fuck you.
‐ Billie...
754
01:03:54,333 --> 01:03:56,708
‐ If you're not gonna help me,
I'm gonna find somebody who can.
755
01:04:33,167 --> 01:04:34,875
‐ Oh, Jesus.
756
01:04:35,583 --> 01:04:36,875
Hey, come on.
757
01:04:36,875 --> 01:04:38,250
Come on.
758
01:04:49,083 --> 01:04:50,542
You're so silly!
759
01:04:50,542 --> 01:04:51,792
‐ Hey, daddy.
760
01:04:55,625 --> 01:04:57,167
Whoa!
761
01:04:57,167 --> 01:04:59,625
‐ Sneaking into my money
and then try to come back to my club.
762
01:05:01,500 --> 01:05:03,292
‐ Come on, y'all, now. Stop!
763
01:05:06,792 --> 01:05:07,833
Billie, no!
764
01:05:13,208 --> 01:05:14,333
‐ Do something.
765
01:05:19,208 --> 01:05:20,208
Fuck!
766
01:05:22,708 --> 01:05:24,292
‐ Clean your ass up.
767
01:05:28,208 --> 01:05:30,875
Come on, baby. Come on, get up!
768
01:05:31,708 --> 01:05:33,250
Come on. Get up.
769
01:05:33,250 --> 01:05:35,292
‐ Get the fuck off me.
‐ No, Billie! Stop!
770
01:05:35,292 --> 01:05:37,000
‐ Motherfucker, get back here!
771
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,042
‐ Billie, stop! Come on!
772
01:05:42,792 --> 01:05:43,792
Please.
773
01:05:44,458 --> 01:05:46,833
Please, Billie, stop.
774
01:07:43,667 --> 01:07:45,542
Holiday heads to Hollywood...
775
01:07:45,542 --> 01:07:47,500
hopefully without heroin.
776
01:07:47,500 --> 01:07:50,042
Billie Holidaytakes San Francisco by storm.
777
01:07:50,042 --> 01:07:52,792
She has been the victim of bothnarcotic agents and dope peddlers
778
01:07:52,792 --> 01:07:54,667
who have harassed her constantly.
779
01:07:55,458 --> 01:07:57,292
This gal sure can play.
780
01:08:01,042 --> 01:08:02,917
Maybe I should learn
to play the guitar.
781
01:08:06,292 --> 01:08:09,583
‐ You know, some people say we have a very
unhealthy thing going on here.
782
01:08:10,792 --> 01:08:11,875
‐ Why?
783
01:08:13,375 --> 01:08:15,042
'Cause I punched you in the lobby?
784
01:08:17,792 --> 01:08:19,833
Yeah, you gonna learn to pay me on time.
785
01:08:21,792 --> 01:08:24,542
Would you believe I ain't used
in almost two months?
786
01:08:25,417 --> 01:08:27,000
‐ Yes, I can, baby.
787
01:08:29,125 --> 01:08:31,042
How come we don't ever talk
about marriage?
788
01:08:32,208 --> 01:08:33,917
You know how much I need you.
789
01:08:33,917 --> 01:08:35,708
‐ Shut up, Levy.
790
01:08:35,708 --> 01:08:37,417
You're already married, remember?
791
01:08:37,833 --> 01:08:39,833
‐ And I told you I was getting a divorce.
792
01:08:39,833 --> 01:08:41,000
‐ Yeah.
793
01:08:42,542 --> 01:08:44,583
I like our arrangement just fine.
794
01:08:44,583 --> 01:08:45,958
‐ Oh. Is that right?
795
01:08:46,292 --> 01:08:48,292
Well maybe this gift
will change your mind.
796
01:08:49,625 --> 01:08:50,917
‐ What?
797
01:08:56,625 --> 01:08:58,833
What you gone and got me, daddy?
798
01:08:58,833 --> 01:09:00,417
‐ Just a little somethin'.
‐ What?
799
01:09:00,417 --> 01:09:02,208
‐ Come here.
800
01:09:10,458 --> 01:09:12,458
‐ What is this?
‐ No, don't worry about that.
801
01:09:12,958 --> 01:09:14,208
‐ What is this?
‐ Nothing.
802
01:09:14,208 --> 01:09:15,292
‐ Levy, what is this?
803
01:09:15,292 --> 01:09:16,750
I'm not taking this shit.
804
01:09:34,250 --> 01:09:37,542
The fact that the drug works,the spoon, syringe and so forth
805
01:09:37,542 --> 01:09:41,292
were found in a waste paper basket.
It was odd, yes.
806
01:09:43,167 --> 01:09:44,583
Typically, the...
807
01:09:45,792 --> 01:09:48,167
The junkie will keep their works close by.
808
01:09:49,083 --> 01:09:53,792
And‐‐ and she was holding
the opium, but I...
809
01:09:53,792 --> 01:09:55,583
‐ So it could have been a frame up?
810
01:09:56,375 --> 01:09:58,250
‐ I‐I didn't say that.
811
01:09:59,833 --> 01:10:01,667
‐ What you mean by that then?
812
01:10:01,667 --> 01:10:02,667
‐ I, I...
813
01:10:05,833 --> 01:10:07,167
‐ Fuck.
814
01:10:07,167 --> 01:10:09,167
‐ People, please, please. Back off.
815
01:10:13,958 --> 01:10:15,667
‐ What happened in there, Billie?
816
01:10:15,667 --> 01:10:18,458
‐ Well, they tried framing me,
but they got caught red‐handed.
817
01:10:18,458 --> 01:10:20,167
‐ What's next for you, Billie?
818
01:10:21,333 --> 01:10:23,250
‐ I'm tourin' America.
819
01:10:24,250 --> 01:10:26,125
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, I'm going on tour.
820
01:10:26,125 --> 01:10:27,375
You all can catch me on tour.
821
01:10:38,458 --> 01:10:40,958
‐ You looked like Nat King Cole up there.
822
01:10:43,417 --> 01:10:47,375
The opium was on her, but I...
823
01:10:47,375 --> 01:10:49,125
You sounded like Stepin Fetchit.
824
01:10:49,750 --> 01:10:52,083
All of our hard work
just went down the drain.
825
01:10:52,875 --> 01:10:54,417
‐ You wanted me to lie up there?
826
01:10:54,417 --> 01:10:56,208
‐ You had a job to do and you failed.
827
01:10:56,708 --> 01:10:59,375
Now guess what, Nat King Fucking Fetchit?
828
01:11:01,792 --> 01:11:03,208
You're going on tour.
829
01:11:11,500 --> 01:11:14,542
‐ Why that Black ass federal agent
keep following us for?
830
01:11:14,542 --> 01:11:15,958
This nigga's still following us.
831
01:11:15,958 --> 01:11:17,750
‐ Yeah, I seen him two miles back.
832
01:11:19,208 --> 01:11:20,792
‐ Why don't he go fuck with
some white people?
833
01:11:45,625 --> 01:11:46,750
‐ Let me see what it says.
834
01:11:46,750 --> 01:11:48,333
‐ Shit say, "I'm cured for good now".
835
01:11:48,333 --> 01:11:50,333
That bitch probably high
right now, talking about...
836
01:11:50,333 --> 01:11:51,667
‐ What she got on, man? What she got on?
837
01:12:29,042 --> 01:12:30,333
Hey, you. Come here.
838
01:12:32,500 --> 01:12:34,375
How did I do?
‐ You've done fantastic.
839
01:12:34,375 --> 01:12:36,375
We're sold out.
Don't stop.
840
01:13:09,667 --> 01:13:11,708
‐ December. Friday.
841
01:13:11,708 --> 01:13:13,208
‐ Okay, here we go.
842
01:13:13,208 --> 01:13:15,542
‐ Ain't you been watchin'.
843
01:13:15,542 --> 01:13:17,167
Jesus ain't watch Freddy's hand.
844
01:13:17,167 --> 01:13:19,583
‐ In Jesus' name, y'all better hope
he watchin' Freddy's hand.
845
01:13:19,583 --> 01:13:23,375
‐ In Jesus name, we gonna watch your hand
with that money you not paying us.
846
01:13:23,375 --> 01:13:25,542
Jesus said he's gonna
give us some money.
847
01:13:25,542 --> 01:13:28,333
That's what we gonna do
while we bringin' the Holy Spirit in here.
848
01:13:28,333 --> 01:13:30,500
Shut the fuck up.
849
01:13:30,500 --> 01:13:32,583
‐ Oh, hell, no. I know you better
get the fuck out of here.
850
01:13:33,792 --> 01:13:36,292
Hey, hey, hey, leave him alone.
Leave him alone.
851
01:13:36,292 --> 01:13:38,292
‐ After all the trouble
this cat done caused us?
852
01:13:38,958 --> 01:13:40,250
‐ Leave him be.
853
01:13:40,250 --> 01:13:42,292
Lady, you know, a hard head
make a soft ass.
854
01:13:42,292 --> 01:13:44,125
You ain't learned your lesson yet.
855
01:13:44,125 --> 01:13:45,833
‐ It's complicated.
856
01:13:47,250 --> 01:13:48,250
Come here. Sit down.
857
01:13:54,125 --> 01:13:56,333
You can fuck around with this one
right here if you want to,
858
01:13:56,333 --> 01:13:58,083
but I need to get paid.
859
01:13:58,958 --> 01:14:00,792
If the club ain't have the money,
then why we play?
860
01:14:00,792 --> 01:14:02,833
‐ They gave us what they had, Prez.
861
01:14:03,333 --> 01:14:05,167
Come on, man. You know
we'll make it up at the next one.
862
01:14:11,208 --> 01:14:13,125
Thanks for what you did for me
in that courtroom.
863
01:14:15,458 --> 01:14:17,125
‐ They want you to think
that they fired me.
864
01:14:18,500 --> 01:14:20,000
‐ Is you still working for 'em?
865
01:14:21,958 --> 01:14:23,250
‐ It's complicated.
866
01:14:27,458 --> 01:14:28,917
‐ So you really just here to hang out?
867
01:14:34,750 --> 01:14:36,333
You know he got
some candy for you.
868
01:14:36,333 --> 01:14:37,625
Hey, Candyman.
869
01:14:38,333 --> 01:14:39,875
‐ Let me blow a bubble.
870
01:14:39,875 --> 01:14:41,083
‐ What you get?
871
01:14:48,167 --> 01:14:51,125
All right. Here's what we got.
872
01:14:52,125 --> 01:14:53,833
Yeah, that is all we got.
873
01:14:53,833 --> 01:14:54,833
‐ Okay.
874
01:14:56,500 --> 01:14:58,208
‐ I sure hope you gave him enough for me.
875
01:14:58,208 --> 01:15:00,000
‐ You know, I did.
‐ Shut the fuck up, Freddy.
876
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,292
‐ What, you mad
'cause I ain't got my lipstick on?
877
01:15:04,500 --> 01:15:07,167
He be gettin' so mad
at me sometimes.
878
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:09,792
That man crazy about me.
879
01:15:09,792 --> 01:15:12,000
‐ Freddy, play the damn game.
880
01:15:21,417 --> 01:15:23,750
‐ I'm trying to get sane.
881
01:15:24,583 --> 01:15:26,917
Why we don't do that track?
882
01:15:26,917 --> 01:15:29,250
- We'll do...
- Billie's Blues, yeah.
883
01:15:29,250 --> 01:15:31,917
‐ Uh‐oh. Wait. Wait.
Mm‐mm. Mm‐mm.
884
01:15:33,750 --> 01:15:35,625
So, Billie, how you gonna pay
that drug man?
885
01:15:35,625 --> 01:15:36,917
But I ain't got nothing.
886
01:15:36,917 --> 01:15:38,167
‐ Come on, Ros.
887
01:15:38,167 --> 01:15:39,833
Y'all know I need my medicine.
888
01:15:39,833 --> 01:15:41,250
‐ Medicine, my ass.
889
01:15:41,250 --> 01:15:42,750
‐ You knew what you
was getting yourself into
890
01:15:42,750 --> 01:15:43,958
when you decided to come on the road.
891
01:15:43,958 --> 01:15:45,833
Shut up, Freddy.
I wasn't even talking to you.
892
01:15:45,833 --> 01:15:47,125
Just gotta do like I do.
893
01:15:47,125 --> 01:15:49,375
- Shut the fuck up.
- The hell you do.
894
01:15:49,375 --> 01:15:51,333
- Nah, Freddy...
- That bitch don't pay me my money,
895
01:15:51,333 --> 01:15:53,542
I take her shit.
‐ Get outta my goddamn clothes.
896
01:15:53,542 --> 01:15:56,000
‐ I'm just letting you know
I'm gonna take everything
897
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:57,708
except your bra and your panties.
898
01:15:57,708 --> 01:15:59,917
I can't‐‐ I can't wear that size.
899
01:16:00,750 --> 01:16:03,875
I can't wear a gown. I ain't gonna...
900
01:16:03,875 --> 01:16:05,167
If you gonna do it, do it right.
901
01:16:05,625 --> 01:16:06,917
Here.
‐ Hey, Fletcher.
902
01:16:06,917 --> 01:16:08,958
You're gonna follow us around
the whole country in that car?
903
01:16:10,875 --> 01:16:12,250
‐ I ain't got nothing better to do.
904
01:16:14,083 --> 01:16:16,542
‐ I trust you about as far as I can
throw your ass.
905
01:16:16,542 --> 01:16:17,458
Oh.
906
01:16:18,208 --> 01:16:19,625
‐ The Lady trusts me.
907
01:16:19,625 --> 01:16:20,625
‐ No, I don't.
908
01:16:22,708 --> 01:16:24,083
You better damn not.
909
01:16:24,083 --> 01:16:25,792
All right, now shut up. This is serious.
910
01:16:25,792 --> 01:16:27,458
Here we go.
911
01:16:27,458 --> 01:16:29,375
‐ Hypothetically speaking, all right?
912
01:16:29,875 --> 01:16:31,167
Let's say you catch Freddy.
913
01:16:31,167 --> 01:16:34,167
Now, even though he don't have
no drugs on hand,
914
01:16:34,167 --> 01:16:36,375
in the trunk of his car,
there is a considerable amount.
915
01:16:36,375 --> 01:16:38,583
What then?
‐ She said "considerable amount."
916
01:16:39,292 --> 01:16:41,000
‐ You drive around with drugs
in the trunk of your car?
917
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:43,917
‐ She said, "Hypothetically."
Nigga, I don't even got no car.
918
01:16:43,917 --> 01:16:45,958
You see me driving a car,
that shit is stolen.
919
01:16:45,958 --> 01:16:48,042
I promise you that.
920
01:16:48,042 --> 01:16:49,500
‐ Well, if it's your car,
921
01:16:49,500 --> 01:16:52,000
then they could probably bust you
for possession or something.
922
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,792
- Damn.
- Now that's some ridiculous shit.
923
01:16:54,792 --> 01:16:56,125
‐ Why the FBI shittin' on me?
924
01:16:56,750 --> 01:16:59,542
‐ All right, ladies and gentlemen,
let's keep this party going.
925
01:16:59,542 --> 01:17:01,208
It is time for the main event.
926
01:17:01,208 --> 01:17:04,708
Okay.
Well, it's time for me to go.
Y'all have a blessed night.
927
01:17:04,708 --> 01:17:06,167
Come on, Ros.
You ain't got to go!
928
01:17:06,167 --> 01:17:07,875
- You ain't got to go!
- It's all right.
929
01:17:07,875 --> 01:17:10,125
‐ Bye.
‐ Bye, bitch.
930
01:17:12,500 --> 01:17:14,125
‐ Pray for us, Ros.
931
01:17:40,167 --> 01:17:41,542
‐ Do it.
932
01:17:45,667 --> 01:17:47,500
If you're with us,
go ahead and do it.
933
01:17:48,667 --> 01:17:50,125
Mr. Federal Agent.
934
01:18:14,833 --> 01:18:15,833
Relax.
935
01:18:16,375 --> 01:18:17,875
Let that shit kick in.
936
01:18:27,208 --> 01:18:28,250
You feel it?
937
01:18:28,917 --> 01:18:30,083
That shit good, ain't it?
938
01:18:31,750 --> 01:18:32,917
Come with me.
939
01:18:50,250 --> 01:18:52,542
I never had a chanceto play with dolls.
940
01:18:52,542 --> 01:18:54,000
Momma.
941
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:55,958
I started working when I was six.
942
01:18:55,958 --> 01:18:56,958
Momma.
943
01:18:57,875 --> 01:19:00,458
‐ Hey, Eleanora.
‐ Hey. You seen my Momma?
944
01:19:00,458 --> 01:19:01,458
‐ No.
945
01:19:03,583 --> 01:19:04,833
I missed you, beautiful.
946
01:19:05,458 --> 01:19:06,708
‐ Where the fuck is my mother?
947
01:19:07,458 --> 01:19:09,208
‐ She down the hall, Eleanora.
948
01:19:20,250 --> 01:19:21,333
‐ Momma.
949
01:19:23,333 --> 01:19:24,333
‐ Momma.
950
01:19:25,375 --> 01:19:26,375
Shit.
951
01:19:52,333 --> 01:19:53,708
‐ Momma, where you been?
952
01:19:54,375 --> 01:19:55,625
‐ You got to go, Eleanora.
953
01:19:56,667 --> 01:19:57,667
‐ Why?
954
01:19:58,417 --> 01:20:00,375
‐ It's time for you to figure out
how to make your own money now.
955
01:20:00,375 --> 01:20:01,458
Come on.
956
01:20:01,458 --> 01:20:02,583
‐ I don't want to go, Momma.
957
01:20:03,375 --> 01:20:04,917
‐ You're a woman now, Eleanora.
958
01:20:04,917 --> 01:20:07,375
It's a woman's job
to keep her man happy, all right?
959
01:20:07,375 --> 01:20:08,583
‐ What you mean "happy"?
960
01:20:08,583 --> 01:20:10,250
‐ What the fuck
do you think I mean "happy"?
961
01:20:10,250 --> 01:20:11,333
Happy!
962
01:20:11,333 --> 01:20:13,542
Make that nigger happy.
Touch him, caress him.
963
01:20:14,167 --> 01:20:15,583
‐ I don't want to be a fucking whore.
964
01:20:15,583 --> 01:20:17,750
‐ Well, it's good enough for me,
ain't it? Huh?
965
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:20,292
Go on, you can do it.
966
01:20:20,917 --> 01:20:22,375
There ain't no room for you here.
967
01:20:22,375 --> 01:20:23,500
You takin' up space.
968
01:20:23,500 --> 01:20:25,792
Ms. Gerty around the corner,
she got a room for you.
969
01:20:25,792 --> 01:20:26,958
‐ Please don't make me go, Momma.
970
01:20:27,542 --> 01:20:28,875
I want to stay with you.
971
01:20:30,958 --> 01:20:32,125
‐ I‐‐
972
01:20:33,208 --> 01:20:35,250
I told Ms. Gertrude to look after you.
973
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,125
Come on now.
You come back anytime you want.
974
01:20:47,375 --> 01:20:50,333
The fuck you think?
She think she can't go no damn where.
She a superstar.
975
01:20:50,917 --> 01:20:52,625
I can go any damn where I want to.
976
01:20:54,250 --> 01:20:55,792
Be careful with this feeling.
977
01:20:59,292 --> 01:21:00,792
This love right here, baby.
978
01:21:02,208 --> 01:21:03,417
It won't love you back.
979
01:21:06,708 --> 01:21:07,917
I promise.
980
01:22:06,167 --> 01:22:10,458
Daddy, get Momma
down from that tree.
981
01:22:26,792 --> 01:22:28,792
Daddy!
982
01:23:54,625 --> 01:23:55,625
‐ Come on.
983
01:24:07,958 --> 01:24:09,792
‐ I've got it ready. Come on, come on.
984
01:24:10,583 --> 01:24:11,833
Come on.
985
01:24:17,333 --> 01:24:18,750
‐ Help me out, please.
986
01:24:26,500 --> 01:24:28,333
‐ Get your hands off her.
‐ Stop! Stop!
987
01:28:43,167 --> 01:28:45,333
We need to nail this bitch.
988
01:28:46,292 --> 01:28:50,542
Are you telling me she hasn't done drugsthe entire time she's been on the road?
989
01:28:52,000 --> 01:28:53,000
No, sir.
990
01:29:02,292 --> 01:29:03,333
Are you there, sir?
991
01:29:07,583 --> 01:29:09,333
‐ Make sure you call me tomorrow.
992
01:29:11,917 --> 01:29:12,917
‐ Yes, sir.
993
01:29:50,708 --> 01:29:51,917
Thought you were asleep.
994
01:29:54,917 --> 01:29:56,458
‐ You were making a phone call...
995
01:30:00,750 --> 01:30:02,125
...to your boss.
996
01:30:03,917 --> 01:30:05,167
‐ Yes.
997
01:30:07,708 --> 01:30:08,875
‐ You tell him everything I do.
998
01:30:09,792 --> 01:30:10,792
‐ No.
999
01:30:17,250 --> 01:30:18,250
‐ You tell him you shot up?
1000
01:30:21,667 --> 01:30:23,375
Tell him you been fucking me good?
1001
01:30:28,167 --> 01:30:29,792
Take your shit off, nigger.
1002
01:30:34,208 --> 01:30:35,625
What are they going to give you, Jimmy?
1003
01:30:37,417 --> 01:30:39,458
Shiny gold watch and a brand‐new car?
1004
01:30:43,042 --> 01:30:44,583
Your picture in the paper?
1005
01:30:48,708 --> 01:30:50,500
I get all of that every day of the week.
1006
01:31:01,917 --> 01:31:03,542
Come on, Jimmy.
1007
01:31:38,583 --> 01:31:39,583
What?
1008
01:31:43,708 --> 01:31:44,750
‐ Not like this.
1009
01:31:46,458 --> 01:31:47,458
‐ What?
1010
01:31:48,625 --> 01:31:49,958
Then, like what?
1011
01:31:52,125 --> 01:31:53,542
Like what?
1012
01:31:53,542 --> 01:31:54,542
‐ Hey.
1013
01:31:57,375 --> 01:31:58,375
Like this.
1014
01:33:19,792 --> 01:33:21,000
‐ Oh!
1015
01:34:08,833 --> 01:34:11,292
- What you doing?
- I got smoke in my eye.
1016
01:34:11,292 --> 01:34:13,167
Watch out.
Freddy will knock it to first.
1017
01:34:13,833 --> 01:34:15,417
Come on, Lester. What the fuck!
1018
01:34:15,417 --> 01:34:16,958
What the fuck kind of throw is that?
1019
01:34:22,875 --> 01:34:24,250
‐ Come on.
‐ Come on, baby.
1020
01:34:25,583 --> 01:34:27,042
God damn!
1021
01:34:27,042 --> 01:34:28,125
Yes!
1022
01:34:28,125 --> 01:34:29,542
Oh, shit.
1023
01:34:33,417 --> 01:34:35,292
This motherfucker
must take him some vitamins.
1024
01:34:36,458 --> 01:34:37,667
‐ Look at Miss Freddy.
1025
01:34:38,958 --> 01:34:40,583
Hey, hey, what's up with the bags?
1026
01:34:44,292 --> 01:34:45,625
What's up with the bags, Billie?
1027
01:34:47,750 --> 01:34:49,208
‐ Jimmy, we got to talk.
1028
01:34:55,667 --> 01:34:57,292
We really got to talk.
1029
01:35:00,667 --> 01:35:01,833
‐ How about we...
1030
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:04,208
How about we go back to New York?
1031
01:35:05,000 --> 01:35:06,042
Hmm?
1032
01:35:06,875 --> 01:35:08,292
Take you in my car, we can...
1033
01:35:09,625 --> 01:35:10,875
get you the help you need.
1034
01:35:15,500 --> 01:35:17,042
‐ No, that's not gonna work.
1035
01:35:18,542 --> 01:35:20,625
You gotta find you a nice girl, okay?
1036
01:35:24,125 --> 01:35:25,500
And that ain't me.
1037
01:35:32,958 --> 01:35:34,458
I know what you thinking.
1038
01:35:37,083 --> 01:35:38,333
Dumb.
1039
01:35:41,542 --> 01:35:44,583
Me, I only know a certain
kind of love that makes me feel safe.
1040
01:35:51,292 --> 01:35:53,583
At least what you and I got here is...
1041
01:35:58,083 --> 01:35:59,125
I don't understand this.
1042
01:36:05,208 --> 01:36:06,917
I don't feel in control.
1043
01:36:10,958 --> 01:36:11,958
‐ Billie.
1044
01:36:12,333 --> 01:36:14,417
You called saying you were stranded,
1045
01:36:14,417 --> 01:36:16,042
so I drove all night to get here.
1046
01:36:16,708 --> 01:36:17,750
Let's go.
1047
01:36:18,292 --> 01:36:19,792
We got a plane to catch.
1048
01:36:20,125 --> 01:36:21,208
‐ I'm coming.
1049
01:36:34,875 --> 01:36:36,000
Billie, let's go.
1050
01:36:37,375 --> 01:36:38,708
‐ I'm sorry, Jimmy.
‐ Yeah.
1051
01:36:42,708 --> 01:36:44,000
Billie, I know
goddamn good and well
1052
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:46,208
you ain't about to leave us
out here like no stray mutts.
1053
01:36:46,500 --> 01:36:48,542
We got no damn gas money to get home.
1054
01:36:49,167 --> 01:36:50,458
‐ All right, Ros, Freddy, come on.
1055
01:36:50,833 --> 01:36:52,458
‐ Lady, I thought we was family.
1056
01:36:53,583 --> 01:36:55,083
You don't do this shit to family.
1057
01:36:55,875 --> 01:36:57,250
‐ And I'll wire the money
as soon as I get home.
1058
01:36:57,250 --> 01:36:58,333
Don't look at me that‐‐
1059
01:37:00,167 --> 01:37:02,500
- So done with your shit, Billie.
- Take my bag, Ros.
1060
01:37:02,500 --> 01:37:04,417
‐ Fuck. The fuck we supposed to do?
1061
01:37:06,208 --> 01:37:07,375
‐ Billie, let's go.
1062
01:37:12,875 --> 01:37:13,875
Let's go!
1063
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:28,667
‐ See you in church, soldier boy.
1064
01:37:31,750 --> 01:37:33,167
‐ Fuck you, bitch.
1065
01:37:33,667 --> 01:37:35,542
Come on, Carl.
Let's get on the goddamn bus.
1066
01:37:36,375 --> 01:37:37,500
‐ Billie.
1067
01:37:37,500 --> 01:37:39,042
We gotta figure out
some kind of way to get home.
1068
01:37:39,042 --> 01:37:41,167
Got a plane to catch now. Let's go.
1069
01:37:47,333 --> 01:37:48,750
I got my eye on you, little nigger.
1070
01:37:51,125 --> 01:37:52,833
That shit ain't funny around here neither.
1071
01:37:55,542 --> 01:37:57,917
Louis McKay
came to save the day, bitch!
1072
01:38:11,375 --> 01:38:12,708
‐ Where's my stuff, Shirley?
‐ I don't know.
1073
01:38:13,292 --> 01:38:15,250
‐ Where's my shit?
‐ I don't know Mr. Fletcher.
1074
01:38:15,250 --> 01:38:16,958
You'll have to ask Mr. Williams.
1075
01:38:17,875 --> 01:38:19,708
‐ What's going on, Sam? Where is my stuff?
1076
01:38:19,708 --> 01:38:21,125
‐ Sorry, Jimmy.
1077
01:38:21,125 --> 01:38:23,042
I don't know. What do you want me to say?
1078
01:38:23,417 --> 01:38:25,042
‐ Where is my shit, Sam?
1079
01:38:25,417 --> 01:38:26,417
‐ They took it.
1080
01:38:30,250 --> 01:38:32,333
They're moving you
over to Administration, Jimmy.
1081
01:38:37,417 --> 01:38:39,292
They want me to pick up
where you left off.
1082
01:38:50,250 --> 01:38:51,958
‐ This drug war is just a war on us.
1083
01:38:53,458 --> 01:38:54,708
I got a family, man.
1084
01:38:55,458 --> 01:38:56,458
I can't leave.
1085
01:38:57,792 --> 01:38:59,125
They're gonna fuck you, too.
1086
01:39:00,667 --> 01:39:02,708
Now, let's get on with this straight.
1087
01:39:03,208 --> 01:39:05,000
In the more realistic sense,
1088
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:09,167
the big comeback of her career
was launched not tonight,
1089
01:39:09,792 --> 01:39:11,417
but over five years ago,
1090
01:39:12,417 --> 01:39:14,500
when there was a year of darkness.
1091
01:39:14,917 --> 01:39:19,292
When she fell victim to one
of society's most dreaded illnesses,
1092
01:39:19,833 --> 01:39:21,292
the use of narcotics.
1093
01:39:21,750 --> 01:39:24,625
Billie, it's a privilege
to have you with us tonight.
1094
01:39:25,333 --> 01:39:27,792
‐ Thank you, George.
It's an honor to be here.
1095
01:39:28,500 --> 01:39:32,792
‐ Now, Billie, this is the usual part
of our procedure in this show
1096
01:39:32,792 --> 01:39:36,542
where we introduce from the audience
the family of our guests,
1097
01:39:36,542 --> 01:39:40,208
those near ones who were there,
1098
01:39:40,875 --> 01:39:43,500
to give the strength and security needed
1099
01:39:43,500 --> 01:39:45,833
when their kinfolk are in trouble.
1100
01:39:46,375 --> 01:39:48,583
But there's no one hereto remember for Billie.
1101
01:39:48,583 --> 01:39:50,042
No family.
1102
01:39:50,417 --> 01:39:53,208
Not a single relative that she knows.
1103
01:39:55,833 --> 01:39:58,792
‐ Yes, well, I have my husband.
1104
01:39:58,792 --> 01:40:00,333
Mr. Louis McKay.
1105
01:40:45,750 --> 01:40:47,292
‐ I'm going to see the goddamn Pope.
1106
01:40:47,292 --> 01:40:49,667
‐ Sit your ass down.
You ain't going no‐fucking‐where.
1107
01:40:56,958 --> 01:40:58,042
‐ Take the picture, man.
1108
01:40:59,458 --> 01:41:01,083
Man, take the goddamn picture.
1109
01:41:01,792 --> 01:41:02,875
‐ I wasn't looking.
1110
01:41:06,208 --> 01:41:07,667
‐ Good times.
‐ Time.
1111
01:41:07,667 --> 01:41:08,750
‐ Yes.
‐ Good time.
1112
01:41:08,750 --> 01:41:10,792
That's how you say it right?
"I love you good time"?
1113
01:41:10,792 --> 01:41:11,875
‐ Good time?
1114
01:41:11,875 --> 01:41:12,875
‐ That's right.
1115
01:41:26,833 --> 01:41:28,125
Your gum, Ms. Holiday.
1116
01:42:03,542 --> 01:42:07,625
‐ You motherfuckers just can't stand
seeing two beautiful Black people
1117
01:42:07,625 --> 01:42:09,833
running around in this world
having a good time in life.
1118
01:42:10,250 --> 01:42:11,875
And now you here wasting my time.
1119
01:42:12,458 --> 01:42:14,500
‐ There wasn't enough on you
to make a case.
1120
01:42:14,708 --> 01:42:16,208
You guys got lucky.
1121
01:42:16,208 --> 01:42:17,375
‐ I'm a lucky guy.
1122
01:42:17,375 --> 01:42:19,042
‐ Well, her luck's running out.
1123
01:42:19,750 --> 01:42:21,250
You can get on the right side.
1124
01:42:22,083 --> 01:42:23,792
Help me plant some heroin on her.
1125
01:42:24,917 --> 01:42:26,417
We need her to talk.
1126
01:42:26,667 --> 01:42:27,667
‐ Shit.
1127
01:42:28,083 --> 01:42:29,875
I can't make her say nothing.
1128
01:42:30,375 --> 01:42:32,833
Just like I can't make her stop singing
that goddamn song.
1129
01:42:33,167 --> 01:42:35,167
‐ She tells everybody
you live off her money.
1130
01:42:35,417 --> 01:42:37,500
‐ She wouldn't have any money
if I ain't keep her in line.
1131
01:42:39,042 --> 01:42:40,417
So you're wearing the pants, right?
1132
01:42:40,417 --> 01:42:41,375
‐ Damn right.
1133
01:42:41,375 --> 01:42:43,167
‐ Well, maybe she's got you by the balls.
1134
01:45:12,042 --> 01:45:13,750
‐ You can have the bitch.
1135
01:45:15,667 --> 01:45:19,208
Her audience wants to know
about Louis McKay.
1136
01:45:19,417 --> 01:45:22,042
You two seemed so in love and...
1137
01:45:23,250 --> 01:45:26,458
then he vanished.
1138
01:45:26,458 --> 01:45:27,375
Poof!
1139
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:31,792
‐ Yeah, McKay and me, we're separated.
1140
01:45:33,333 --> 01:45:35,583
He's trying to control my estate.
1141
01:45:37,250 --> 01:45:40,333
But my friend Jimmy's been with me
and he's been helpful.
1142
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:43,708
‐ Helpful, all right.
1143
01:45:44,167 --> 01:45:45,167
He's a Fed.
1144
01:45:48,083 --> 01:45:52,500
‐ What is the government's problem
with Billie Holiday?
1145
01:45:52,917 --> 01:45:56,583
Why is the government always after you?
1146
01:45:57,958 --> 01:45:58,958
‐ My song.
1147
01:45:59,750 --> 01:46:01,292
Strange Fruit.
1148
01:46:03,417 --> 01:46:05,667
It reminds them that they're killing us.
1149
01:46:07,625 --> 01:46:09,208
Reminds them.
1150
01:46:10,833 --> 01:46:12,667
It reminds you, too, Reginald.
1151
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:15,750
‐ Lady, don't say that.
1152
01:46:17,500 --> 01:46:20,667
See, this is why
she's always getting in trouble.
1153
01:46:20,667 --> 01:46:22,125
I'll edit that part out.
1154
01:46:23,542 --> 01:46:25,958
‐ You don't have to edit shit
for Harry Anslinger.
1155
01:46:27,208 --> 01:46:29,042
He was in charge of Prohibition, remember?
1156
01:46:30,250 --> 01:46:31,625
See us drinking, don't you?
1157
01:46:34,958 --> 01:46:37,042
He can't afford to lose with drugs.
1158
01:46:39,000 --> 01:46:41,875
‐ But it's a war on drugs,
not on you, Lady.
1159
01:46:46,667 --> 01:46:48,875
‐ Yeah, that's what
they want you to believe.
1160
01:46:54,583 --> 01:46:56,917
They say they want
the names of my suppliers.
1161
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:04,583
They don't want no names.
1162
01:47:08,708 --> 01:47:10,375
They want to destroy me.
1163
01:47:19,833 --> 01:47:22,750
He wants me to stop singing
what's in my soul.
1164
01:47:28,083 --> 01:47:33,083
‐ Well, why don't you stop singing
the damn song?
1165
01:47:33,667 --> 01:47:38,708
Wouldn't your life
be easier if you just behaved?
1166
01:47:49,167 --> 01:47:51,208
I can't seem to get these words.
1167
01:47:57,458 --> 01:47:59,917
Where is that?
Lady Sings the Blues?
1168
01:48:00,167 --> 01:48:03,458
You recorded that one
a few years back, Billie.
1169
01:48:05,750 --> 01:48:08,375
Baby, we're gonna go home, okay?
1170
01:48:12,250 --> 01:48:13,333
Jimmy.
1171
01:48:33,167 --> 01:48:35,875
Shit. Where's my rum?
1172
01:49:16,917 --> 01:49:19,000
I should have been
a gospel singer, you know.
1173
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:20,208
‐ Gospel singer?
1174
01:49:20,208 --> 01:49:21,667
‐ Yeah, gospel.
1175
01:49:23,417 --> 01:49:25,250
I like Sister Rosetta.
1176
01:49:28,542 --> 01:49:30,833
She bring a little sunshine
to death, you know.
1177
01:49:36,208 --> 01:49:37,958
Prez died.
1178
01:49:39,667 --> 01:49:42,125
His wife wouldn't let me
sing at the funeral.
1179
01:49:49,625 --> 01:49:51,042
I miss him.
1180
01:49:51,458 --> 01:49:53,000
‐ I'm sorry.
1181
01:49:56,458 --> 01:49:59,000
‐ You remember last time
we was all together?
1182
01:50:03,792 --> 01:50:05,625
I left him there, Jimmy.
1183
01:50:12,125 --> 01:50:14,125
‐ I love you, Billie Holiday.
1184
01:50:22,250 --> 01:50:23,958
‐ My liver don't work no more.
1185
01:50:28,458 --> 01:50:30,208
They say it's cirrhosis.
1186
01:50:33,958 --> 01:50:35,458
I want you to blow!
1187
01:50:35,458 --> 01:50:37,125
‐ I want you to blow!
1188
01:51:02,708 --> 01:51:05,167
Ms. Mona, call a doctor.
1189
01:51:12,917 --> 01:51:15,458
‐ Your fans love you.
1190
01:51:16,042 --> 01:51:17,667
Look at this.
1191
01:51:17,667 --> 01:51:18,667
Look here.
1192
01:51:19,083 --> 01:51:20,208
Look.
1193
01:51:20,208 --> 01:51:25,667
NAACP says, "Billie Holiday
is the voice of our people."
1194
01:51:30,625 --> 01:51:33,000
‐ Try not to blame yourself
for any of this.
1195
01:51:39,042 --> 01:51:41,583
‐ You got well‐wishers crowding up
in the street outside.
1196
01:51:41,917 --> 01:51:43,250
It's pretty wild out there.
1197
01:51:44,458 --> 01:51:45,750
‐ That's swell.
1198
01:51:48,292 --> 01:51:49,833
Give me some of that.
1199
01:52:00,542 --> 01:52:02,042
I must look a mess.
1200
01:52:09,042 --> 01:52:10,958
Hey, help me paint my nails,
would you?
1201
01:52:12,375 --> 01:52:13,667
‐ Uh...
1202
01:52:13,667 --> 01:52:15,750
That... I don't know
how to do that, Billie.
1203
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:17,500
‐ Come on, man.
1204
01:52:18,417 --> 01:52:19,458
Get my purse.
1205
01:52:21,250 --> 01:52:22,250
‐ Yeah.
1206
01:52:24,542 --> 01:52:26,583
‐ I got two bottles in there.
‐ Okay.
1207
01:52:28,083 --> 01:52:29,292
‐ Give me that blood red.
1208
01:52:33,542 --> 01:52:34,625
‐ Blood red.
1209
01:52:35,583 --> 01:52:36,708
All right.
1210
01:52:39,750 --> 01:52:41,875
‐ You know what you're doing, right?
‐ I told you, I don't.
1211
01:52:43,125 --> 01:52:44,167
You don't listen.
1212
01:53:05,333 --> 01:53:06,375
Hello, sir.
1213
01:53:07,542 --> 01:53:08,792
You're out of line being here.
1214
01:53:09,667 --> 01:53:11,042
‐ Maybe he's supplying her.
1215
01:53:13,333 --> 01:53:15,750
‐ If you obstruct us,
we have enough to tie you to her.
1216
01:53:20,542 --> 01:53:22,667
And that's a long way down.
1217
01:53:26,542 --> 01:53:27,792
‐ You hate her.
1218
01:53:30,417 --> 01:53:32,375
Despite all this shit in her life,
1219
01:53:32,583 --> 01:53:35,292
she's made something of herself,
and you can't take it,
1220
01:53:36,125 --> 01:53:37,875
because she's strong,
1221
01:53:39,250 --> 01:53:40,833
beautiful,
1222
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:43,667
and Black.
1223
01:54:24,458 --> 01:54:25,458
‐ Get up, nigger.
1224
01:54:27,250 --> 01:54:29,375
‐ Come on! Stop! Hey, what you all doing?
1225
01:54:29,375 --> 01:54:30,708
‐ Stop it, y'all!
1226
01:54:32,417 --> 01:54:33,417
Yo.
1227
01:54:34,250 --> 01:54:36,500
Come on, what are we doing?
1228
01:54:39,042 --> 01:54:40,625
Hey, baby.
1229
01:54:40,625 --> 01:54:42,792
I heard you wasn't feeling so good.
1230
01:54:44,750 --> 01:54:46,333
‐ Yeah, all of a sudden, I'm not.
1231
01:54:47,083 --> 01:54:48,167
‐ Let me take you home.
1232
01:54:48,167 --> 01:54:49,417
No!
1233
01:54:51,417 --> 01:54:52,625
‐ Jimmy, come here.
1234
01:55:03,958 --> 01:55:06,208
What do critics
think about my last record?
1235
01:55:08,417 --> 01:55:10,125
‐ Thought you didn't care
about the critics.
1236
01:55:11,375 --> 01:55:12,375
‐ I don't.
1237
01:55:19,167 --> 01:55:21,042
I want folks to like it, you know.
1238
01:55:24,500 --> 01:55:25,792
‐ The critics didn't like it.
1239
01:55:29,667 --> 01:55:31,083
‐ Did you like it?
1240
01:55:33,708 --> 01:55:35,125
‐ Yes.
1241
01:55:41,833 --> 01:55:43,542
‐ Go on, scram,
1242
01:55:44,208 --> 01:55:46,000
so I can get this man out of here.
1243
01:55:47,833 --> 01:55:49,958
‐ Jimmy. Jimmy.
1244
01:55:49,958 --> 01:55:51,292
Anslinger's gonna be here in a minute.
1245
01:55:51,292 --> 01:55:52,417
We gotta go.
1246
01:55:55,083 --> 01:55:56,875
‐ See you in church, soldier boy.
1247
01:56:02,750 --> 01:56:04,417
‐ Hey, princess.
1248
01:56:06,375 --> 01:56:08,667
We need to talk about these papers, honey.
1249
01:56:09,833 --> 01:56:11,583
I need you to sign them.
1250
01:56:15,083 --> 01:56:16,542
She may not talk to you.
1251
01:56:16,542 --> 01:56:18,583
I don't feel good
about this, brother.
1252
01:56:25,083 --> 01:56:26,417
Hey, blondie.
1253
01:56:28,208 --> 01:56:30,417
Jimmy.
1254
01:56:36,292 --> 01:56:38,000
Ooh. It is a mess in there.
1255
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:39,000
‐ Yeah.
1256
01:56:39,542 --> 01:56:41,292
‐ My friend's a nurse here.
1257
01:56:43,167 --> 01:56:44,792
Jimmy, they're going
to take her off Methadone
1258
01:56:44,792 --> 01:56:46,375
and she's in withdrawal.
1259
01:56:47,958 --> 01:56:49,750
If they do it,
they're going to kill her.
1260
01:56:49,750 --> 01:56:51,792
So you have to do something, Jimmy,
1261
01:56:51,792 --> 01:56:53,667
because those bastards
won't let me in there.
1262
01:56:53,667 --> 01:56:56,750
So you have to do something, you hear me?
You have to do something.
1263
01:56:58,250 --> 01:56:59,333
Shh.
1264
01:57:04,875 --> 01:57:06,667
‐ Anslinger's going to plant
heroin on her.
1265
01:57:19,083 --> 01:57:20,458
Hello, sweetie.
1266
01:57:26,542 --> 01:57:28,125
My wife is a big fan.
1267
01:57:29,750 --> 01:57:31,208
‐ She understands what you need.
1268
01:57:31,208 --> 01:57:32,875
Billie and me discussed things.
1269
01:57:33,083 --> 01:57:36,875
She hasn't been well, but she's sorry
for the trouble she's caused
1270
01:57:36,875 --> 01:57:38,208
and she's ready to help.
1271
01:57:40,750 --> 01:57:44,333
‐ For the record, I'm going to need you
to state your name.
1272
01:57:49,917 --> 01:57:51,833
‐ My name is Billie Holiday.
1273
01:57:55,292 --> 01:57:57,667
Go on, Lady.
Go ahead and speak your peace.
1274
01:58:00,042 --> 01:58:01,792
‐ You're a victim of drugs.
1275
01:58:02,500 --> 01:58:03,625
We know that.
1276
01:58:06,875 --> 01:58:08,583
‐ I blame nobody but myself.
1277
01:58:09,917 --> 01:58:12,625
‐ Go ahead and tell 'em
what you need to tell 'em, baby.
1278
01:58:14,458 --> 01:58:17,458
‐ Ms. Holiday,
you want to clear your name, right?
1279
01:58:20,583 --> 01:58:24,000
Get us off your case
and you'll never see us again.
1280
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:35,958
‐ You think I'm going
to stop singing that song?
1281
01:58:45,375 --> 01:58:47,625
Your grandkids
will be singing Strange Fruit.
1282
01:58:54,375 --> 01:58:57,625
Y'all motherfuckers think
y'all got something on me?
1283
01:59:03,000 --> 01:59:04,042
You don't.
1284
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:14,417
You stupid bitches don't got shit on me.
1285
01:59:22,500 --> 01:59:24,292
Suck my Black ass.
1286
02:00:31,667 --> 02:00:36,083
Let Lady live! Let Lady live!

02:01:57,875 --> 02:02:01,042

Prada! The dress is Prada!
1303
02:07:00,458 --> 02:07:02,125
‐ They didn't make Prada back then.
1304
02:07:02,125 --> 02:07:03,875
‐ Fuck you, nigger.
1305
02:07:06,458 --> 02:07:07,500
‐ Billie!
