1
00:00:17,075 --> 00:00:18,743
You are Kunta Kinte.
2
00:00:18,827 --> 00:00:20,078
Behold!
3
00:00:21,162 --> 00:00:23,331
The only thing
greater than yourself.
4
00:00:26,668 --> 00:00:31,089
The first duty of a Mandinka
warrior is to raise a family.
5
00:00:52,026 --> 00:00:55,822
It's time your family paid for all
the trouble they have caused me, Kunta.
6
00:00:55,905 --> 00:00:56,948
Run!
7
00:01:05,623 --> 00:01:08,251
Sell the boy to the British
with the other captives.
8
00:01:26,227 --> 00:01:28,980
- No more running for you, boy.
- No! No!
9
00:01:29,063 --> 00:01:30,064
No, please don't!
10
00:01:32,525 --> 00:01:35,320
I'm so relieved
you're gonna make it.
11
00:01:35,403 --> 00:01:37,071
My name is Belle.
12
00:01:37,155 --> 00:01:38,865
Let's make it official.
13
00:01:44,370 --> 00:01:47,123
I never thought I'd be able
to have another child.
14
00:01:47,248 --> 00:01:49,792
I'll protect our child.
15
00:01:49,876 --> 00:01:51,836
Kizzy, I think I was selfish
16
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,464
to have you born
into a world like this.
17
00:01:54,547 --> 00:01:57,508
Don't worry, Fa.
You trained me well.
18
00:01:57,592 --> 00:01:59,928
Kizzy!
No! No, Kizzy!
19
00:02:02,263 --> 00:02:03,890
No!
20
00:02:04,891 --> 00:02:06,851
- Fa!
- Kizzy!
21
00:02:07,852 --> 00:02:09,854
Where the hell
do you think you're going?
22
00:02:09,938 --> 00:02:12,523
- This is my right!
- Kill me!
23
00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:15,944
I'm gonna name you
after my daddy...
24
00:02:16,027 --> 00:02:18,363

Yes, Massa.
43
00:03:32,103 --> 00:03:34,313
Sky just sits on you.
44
00:03:34,397 --> 00:03:40,528
When I was a boy, I'd spend a day like
this just sitting buck naked in the creek.
45
00:05:12,703 --> 00:05:13,830
Why are you here?
46
00:05:13,913 --> 00:05:16,916
He pretty.
I wanted to touch him.
47
00:05:16,999 --> 00:05:19,293
He could scratch the prying eyes
from your head.
48
00:05:19,377 --> 00:05:21,963
I'm gonna tell Massa Tom
to beat the hell out of you.
49
00:05:22,046 --> 00:05:23,798
Make sure you stay away
from my chickens.
50
00:05:23,881 --> 00:05:25,466
Now get!
51
00:05:38,896 --> 00:05:40,314
Mama.
52
00:05:40,398 --> 00:05:42,108
N-Not in my front of my boy,
Massa Tom.
53
00:05:42,191 --> 00:05:43,484
Get up, George.
54
00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:46,571
You need to learn!
55
00:05:46,654 --> 00:05:48,865
George, what'd you do?
What... What'd he do, Massa?
56
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,159
Little monkey
keeps bothering Mingo,
57
00:05:51,242 --> 00:05:53,786
messing with my birds
in the range walk.
58
00:05:53,870 --> 00:05:55,454
Mingo's got too much
work to do, boy.
59
00:05:55,538 --> 00:05:57,290
George, them birds
will hurt you.
60
00:05:57,373 --> 00:05:59,041
You scared of them birds?
61
00:06:00,209 --> 00:06:02,062
Then I'm gonna put
your yellow ass up on the wagon
62
00:06:02,086 --> 00:06:03,629
when Mingo and me
go out and fight.
63
00:06:03,713 --> 00:06:05,089
You're gonna help.
64
00:06:05,173 --> 00:06:08,676
Mingo don't like children.
He... He don't like people.
65
00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:10,344
Get your clothes on, boy.
66
00:06:19,979 --> 00:06:23,441
- You look pretty in this light, Kizzy.
- Please. He watching us.
67
00:06:24,692 --> 00:06:26,068
Can I hold the bird, Massa Tom?
68
00:06:26,152 --> 00:06:28,613
You do what Mingo
tells you to do.
69
00:06:28,696 --> 00:06:30,615
And you be on
your best behavior,
70
00:06:30,698 --> 00:06:32,700
or I'll sell you
to Cherokee savages.
71
00:06:41,751 --> 00:06:44,253
Oh, Fa.
72
00:06:44,337 --> 00:06:47,715
Papa, he trying to take my boy.
73
00:06:49,342 --> 00:06:52,595
Massa Tom, why you start
fighting chickens?
74
00:06:52,678 --> 00:06:55,723
Gamecocks, George,
not chickens.
75
00:06:55,806 --> 00:06:57,808
And I fight them
'cause they're magic.
76
00:06:57,892 --> 00:07:01,270
Carried me from a backwoods shack
with 10 brothers and sisters...
77
00:07:01,354 --> 00:07:03,606
Abracadabra.
Bought my own farm.
78
00:07:03,689 --> 00:07:05,524
Bought my first nigger.
79
00:07:05,608 --> 00:07:08,152
His name was George,
like yourn.
80
00:07:08,236 --> 00:07:11,405
Tough old boy.
Died too fast.
81
00:07:11,489 --> 00:07:13,908
- He my daddy?
- Your daddy's long gone.
82
00:07:13,991 --> 00:07:16,369
No-account white man,
passing through.
83
00:07:16,452 --> 00:07:18,204
Gave you that yellow skin.
84
00:07:18,287 --> 00:07:20,081
Second nigger I bought
was Mingo.
85
00:07:20,164 --> 00:07:21,791
Best move I ever made.
86
00:07:21,874 --> 00:07:24,585
Wants this all clear
by sundown.
87
00:07:25,586 --> 00:07:27,505
See that land over there?
88
00:07:27,588 --> 00:07:31,217
Biggest farm in Carolina
ain't enough for Mr. William Byrd.
89
00:07:31,300 --> 00:07:33,094
That bastard hates me
'cause I'm Irish
90
00:07:33,177 --> 00:07:35,721
and 'cause my daddy
was backwoods poor.
91
00:07:35,805 --> 00:07:37,431
Thinks he knows who I am.
92
00:07:38,432 --> 00:07:40,351
He don't know a damn thing
about Tom Lea.
93
00:07:41,352 --> 00:07:44,397
Thinks he's prince
of Caswell County.
94
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,108
Hell, I'm gonna be king
of Caswell County.
95
00:07:47,191 --> 00:07:50,444
- Pay what you owe, Irish!
- I'll pay you in a week!
96
00:07:50,528 --> 00:07:52,822
Oyez! Oyez!
97
00:07:57,702 --> 00:08:00,496
Whoa! Hit him!
Don't tickle him!
98
00:08:00,621 --> 00:08:02,039
Ooh!
99
00:08:02,123 --> 00:08:04,959
Oyez! Oyez!
100
00:08:05,042 --> 00:08:09,046
The main match...
a struggle to the death.
101
00:08:09,130 --> 00:08:11,590
- I give you Tom Lea...
- Yeah! Whoo-hoo!
102
00:08:11,674 --> 00:08:13,009
...and Farnie Deets.
103
00:08:13,092 --> 00:08:15,094
Bring that cock
to the pen, Mingo.
104
00:08:15,177 --> 00:08:16,804
- You get him, Mingo!
- Let's go, Mingo!
105
00:08:18,472 --> 00:08:20,016
Look at my Red.
106
00:08:20,099 --> 00:08:22,019
- You ever seen anything so beautiful?
- Unh-unh.
107
00:08:22,101 --> 00:08:23,394
- Huh?
- Yeah.
108
00:08:24,395 --> 00:08:26,355
- Gonna bring me luck, boy?
- Yes, Massa.
109
00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:28,774
Go and add $200 to my bet.
110
00:08:28,858 --> 00:08:30,484
Bill your cocks.
111
00:08:32,695 --> 00:08:34,113
Come on now, Mingo!
112
00:08:34,196 --> 00:08:36,032
- Step back, gentlemen.
- Come on, Mingo!
113
00:08:36,115 --> 00:08:37,116
Step back.
114
00:08:37,199 --> 00:08:39,160
- Come on, boy.
- Come on, Mingo!
115
00:08:39,243 --> 00:08:40,494
Pit your cocks!
116
00:08:47,668 --> 00:08:48,919
Go, Red!
117
00:08:50,463 --> 00:08:51,839
Come on.
118
00:08:51,922 --> 00:08:54,175
Come on!
119
00:08:54,258 --> 00:08:55,885
- Come on!
- Come on!
120
00:08:55,968 --> 00:08:58,304
Come on!
Get him, Red!
121
00:09:02,350 --> 00:09:03,601
Ah, shit!
122
00:09:03,684 --> 00:09:07,313
Mingo, what the hell you doing, boy?
Fight them cocks!
123
00:09:07,396 --> 00:09:08,981
Come on, Red!
124
00:09:10,858 --> 00:09:12,360
- Come on, Red!
- Fight the cock, boy!
125
00:09:12,443 --> 00:09:14,362
Red! Come on!
126
00:09:14,445 --> 00:09:15,988
Come on!
127
00:09:16,072 --> 00:09:18,074
Come on, Red!
128
00:09:18,157 --> 00:09:19,950
Come on, Red!
129
00:09:20,034 --> 00:09:21,994
Get him!
Come on, boy! Get him!
130
00:09:25,998 --> 00:09:27,666
And the match goes to Tom Lea!
131
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:30,169
- Ah, yeah!
- Yes!
132
00:09:30,252 --> 00:09:31,253
Yeah!
133
00:09:32,505 --> 00:09:34,465
What a row!
134
00:09:34,548 --> 00:09:37,635
Nobody beats my Red!
Nobody beats my Red!
135
00:09:37,718 --> 00:09:39,970
Nobody beats the Red!
Nobody!
136
00:09:40,054 --> 00:09:41,555
Yeah!
137
00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:44,725
- Good job there, Mingo!
- Attaboy, Mingo!
138
00:09:44,809 --> 00:09:46,435
- Yeah, Mingo!
- Come on.
139
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:50,106
- Hey! Mingo!
- Oh, I love your money, boys!
140
00:09:50,189 --> 00:09:52,817
You can all win it back
at the next county fair.
141
00:09:55,528 --> 00:09:57,405
Mingo, big Red all right?
142
00:10:03,452 --> 00:10:04,745
Piss.
143
00:10:05,788 --> 00:10:07,623
Piss on the damn bird, boy.
144
00:10:07,748 --> 00:10:10,209
You sure this good
for the bird?
145
00:10:10,292 --> 00:10:12,128
You think you Massa Tom?
146
00:10:12,211 --> 00:10:14,213
Don't ever question me
about these birds.
147
00:10:14,296 --> 00:10:16,757
I tell you to do something,
you just do it.
148
00:10:16,841 --> 00:10:18,926
Think you know.
Don't know nothing.
149
00:10:19,009 --> 00:10:22,555
Don't know the Lord gave chickens worst
things in the world...
150
00:10:22,638 --> 00:10:25,349
pip, distemper, apoplexy,
151
00:10:25,433 --> 00:10:27,351
cholera, lime leg, and canker.
152
00:10:27,435 --> 00:10:30,563
You don't know pee clean
like a good turpentine.
153
00:10:33,774 --> 00:10:36,944
Yeah.
All right.
154
00:10:37,027 --> 00:10:39,113
I don't know why we even
brought you along, no way.
155
00:10:39,196 --> 00:10:40,489
'Cause Massa Tom
says I can help.
156
00:10:40,573 --> 00:10:42,992
- How?
- I talk to your birds.
157
00:10:43,075 --> 00:10:45,202
Talk nothing but hot air.
158
00:10:45,286 --> 00:10:47,705
Birds use they eyes to talk.
159
00:10:47,788 --> 00:10:49,915
Got to hold your stare.
160
00:10:49,999 --> 00:10:53,419
Turn your head away,
show you weak.
161
00:10:55,629 --> 00:10:57,256
Stand up.
162
00:10:57,339 --> 00:11:00,843
Got to be a man when you messing
with these birds.
163
00:11:00,926 --> 00:11:05,055
Such a big help you is,
Chicken George.
164
00:11:09,059 --> 00:11:12,938
"The first cut of...
165
00:11:13,022 --> 00:11:17,735
w-wheat is...
166
00:11:17,818 --> 00:11:20,738
m-most... most...
167
00:11:20,821 --> 00:11:25,117
f-fa... fav..."
168
00:11:25,201 --> 00:11:27,077
What's this say, Kizzy?
169
00:11:29,497 --> 00:11:30,873
Favorable.
170
00:11:31,999 --> 00:11:37,838
"...favorable
on a cool...
171
00:11:37,922 --> 00:11:39,632
day."
172
00:11:39,715 --> 00:11:42,092
Yes.
173
00:11:44,094 --> 00:11:47,223
Never thought nobody could learn
farming by reading, Kizzy.
174
00:11:47,306 --> 00:11:50,851
Need to read something to tell me
how to act around fancy ladies.
175
00:11:50,935 --> 00:11:54,772
Bit of gossip,
weather, fashion.
176
00:11:54,855 --> 00:11:56,607
The more you talk
about nothing,
177
00:11:56,690 --> 00:11:58,651
the smarter them ladies
think you be.
178
00:11:59,860 --> 00:12:01,487
Whoa!
179
00:12:01,570 --> 00:12:04,490
You won't tell Massa Tom
I been teaching you.
180
00:12:04,573 --> 00:12:07,993
Whew!
181
00:12:08,077 --> 00:12:09,870
Why don't you pour me
a drink, Kizzy?
182
00:12:09,954 --> 00:12:11,497
Can't you see I'm parched?
183
00:12:12,748 --> 00:12:14,083
George!
184
00:12:16,877 --> 00:12:18,629
Oh, my God.
185
00:12:18,712 --> 00:12:20,756
Whose blood that is?
186
00:12:20,881 --> 00:12:23,092
- What Mingo do to you?
- I got clawed.
187
00:12:23,175 --> 00:12:24,510
Did they hurt you?
188
00:12:24,593 --> 00:12:27,763
Massa Tom said I held 'em real good,
and they true killers.
189
00:12:27,888 --> 00:12:29,306
Still waiting
on that drink, Kizzy.
190
00:12:31,892 --> 00:12:33,769
George, get over here.
191
00:12:34,812 --> 00:12:36,814
I got a question for ya.
192
00:12:36,897 --> 00:12:39,316
You want to keep fighting
gamecocks with Mingo and me,
193
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,986
or you want to get sunburned
working them fields?
194
00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:44,029
Want to work with Mingo...
and you!
195
00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:47,032
Massa, he a big help
with all my chores.
196
00:12:47,116 --> 00:12:51,203
Mama, I like them birds,
and they like me.
197
00:12:51,287 --> 00:12:53,080
Good boy.
198
00:12:53,163 --> 00:12:55,749
Now, you know you got to sleep
with them birds, too.
199
00:12:55,833 --> 00:12:58,794
Down by old Mingo.
That ain't no place for no little boy.
200
00:12:58,919 --> 00:13:00,462
Ah, you can visit him
every Sunday.
201
00:13:00,546 --> 00:13:03,591
I'm a fair man, Kizzy.
You know that.
202
00:13:03,674 --> 00:13:05,426
Be good for the boy.
203
00:13:05,509 --> 00:13:07,928
He gonna be my good luck charm.
204
00:13:08,012 --> 00:13:09,847
Ain't that right, Tricia?
205
00:13:09,930 --> 00:13:13,142
Well, uh, maybe
he could wait a year.
206
00:13:13,225 --> 00:13:16,145
What the hell you know about children,
since you can't have none?
207
00:13:21,108 --> 00:13:23,485
Boy, why you still
standing there?
208
00:13:23,569 --> 00:13:25,070
Go help Mingo with the birds.
209
00:13:25,154 --> 00:13:26,697
Yes, sir.
210
00:13:29,617 --> 00:13:31,952
Boy's gonna be
my good luck charm, Kizzy.
211
00:13:46,425 --> 00:13:48,510
Here, boy.
212
00:13:50,554 --> 00:13:52,014
That's bird food, Mingo.
213
00:13:52,097 --> 00:13:56,352
Barley, milk, corn, rice,
and my secret...
214
00:13:56,435 --> 00:13:58,437
my own brewed hops.
215
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,357
Let them niggers on the farm
eat flesh.
216
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,151
What's good for birds
is good for men.
217
00:14:04,234 --> 00:14:06,779
You can game a bird
for 10 years.
218
00:14:06,862 --> 00:14:10,616
Take him from the cage,
leave him one step in the trees,
219
00:14:10,699 --> 00:14:13,494
he gonna turn back wild
just like that.
220
00:14:13,577 --> 00:14:16,330
'Cause these birds,
they from across the sea.
221
00:14:16,413 --> 00:14:18,707
In they hearts,
they always free.
222
00:14:18,791 --> 00:14:21,460
Mingo, can you teach me
all about birds?
223
00:14:21,543 --> 00:14:23,170
Teach me to fight them?
224
00:14:23,253 --> 00:14:26,548
What you think we is, friends?
225
00:14:26,632 --> 00:14:31,011
Come on, boy. I'll teach you
how to clean these cages.
226
00:14:50,239 --> 00:14:52,074
Oh, Mama.
227
00:14:52,157 --> 00:14:55,452
You look awful, and you stink.
228
00:14:55,536 --> 00:14:58,330
- It's the cocks.
- Ain't no cocks in here.
229
00:14:58,414 --> 00:15:02,167
Mama, I let all the birds free,
cage by cage!
230
00:15:02,251 --> 00:15:03,794
Big ones, Mama!
231
00:15:03,877 --> 00:15:05,713
And fed them
and helped Mingo fix them.
232
00:15:05,796 --> 00:15:07,506
Oh, you should've
seen it, Mama.
233
00:15:07,589 --> 00:15:10,801
All these white men saying, "Hey, Mingo,"
patting him on his back.
234
00:15:10,884 --> 00:15:14,388
Can you believe that, white men respecting
an old nigger like Mingo?
235
00:15:14,471 --> 00:15:18,183
And it was fun watching Massa Tom
smiling and strutting around.
236
00:15:18,267 --> 00:15:19,977
Hey, look.
He gave me money.
237
00:15:20,060 --> 00:15:22,521
Ain't nothing fun
about being with that man,
238
00:15:22,604 --> 00:15:24,565
no matter how they make
Mingo feel.
239
00:15:24,648 --> 00:15:28,193
- But Mama...
- Come here.
240
00:15:31,113 --> 00:15:34,491
Tom Lea ain't no better
than no other toubab.
241
00:15:34,575 --> 00:15:36,744
No matter how much laughing
they do,
242
00:15:36,827 --> 00:15:39,830
no matter how much you get
to play with them damn birds,
243
00:15:39,913 --> 00:15:43,167
Mingo a slave
at the end of it all.
244
00:15:43,250 --> 00:15:44,877
And you one, too.
245
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,879
But Massa Tom likes me, Mama.
246
00:15:46,962 --> 00:15:51,467
He don't know
how to like nobody.
247
00:15:54,678 --> 00:15:57,848
And don't nobody love ya
like your mama.
248
00:16:02,728 --> 00:16:07,232
Go on, eat.
Wash up. Go to bed.
249
00:16:13,614 --> 00:16:15,449
Massa Tom like me.
250
00:16:30,672 --> 00:16:32,716
Whoa!
251
00:16:37,137 --> 00:16:38,680
Uh...
252
00:16:41,391 --> 00:16:45,145
- Miss Patricia.
- Thank you, George.
253
00:16:46,563 --> 00:16:48,774
I'll be at the church
in the trees when you want me,
254
00:16:48,857 --> 00:16:52,194
- ready to go home.
- Since when you a man of faith?
255
00:16:52,277 --> 00:16:54,780
Since you seen
that preacher's daughter?
256
00:16:55,864 --> 00:16:57,825
- Go on.
- Thank you, sir. Excuse me.
257
00:16:57,908 --> 00:16:59,368
Only last week, and I...
258
00:16:59,451 --> 00:17:02,788
- Morning.
- Keep walking.
259
00:17:03,789 --> 00:17:05,082
Patricia.
260
00:17:07,835 --> 00:17:09,670
Mr. Byrd.
261
00:17:31,441 --> 00:17:34,903
How come I always end up
at the back?
262
00:17:34,987 --> 00:17:41,118
See, the Lord say that... that he
that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life.
263
00:17:41,201 --> 00:17:42,601
All right, Reverend.
All right.
264
00:17:42,661 --> 00:17:46,373
- But he who opens his lips...
- Yes, sir.
265
00:17:46,456 --> 00:17:49,334
- ...shall face destruction. Amen!
- Uh-huh.
266
00:17:49,418 --> 00:17:50,460
- Amen!
- Amen!
267
00:17:50,544 --> 00:17:52,296
- Hallelujah
- Amen!
268
00:17:52,379 --> 00:17:58,010
You see, wealth gathered
by vanity will diminish.
269
00:17:58,093 --> 00:17:59,553
And see, my eyes is old,
270
00:17:59,636 --> 00:18:02,055
but I can see
what the Lord says.
271
00:18:02,139 --> 00:18:07,019
See, the Lord tells us
beware of flattering lips
272
00:18:07,102 --> 00:18:10,939
and men who speak
with double hearts.
273
00:18:11,023 --> 00:18:13,025
Truth is your sustenance.
274
00:18:13,108 --> 00:18:17,321
And beware that man who talk
about money and worship money.
275
00:18:17,404 --> 00:18:19,281
See, that, too, is vanity.
276
00:18:21,116 --> 00:18:24,620
The righteous man eateth
to satisfy his soul!
277
00:18:24,703 --> 00:18:28,123
But the belly of the wicked
shall want chicken!
278
00:18:29,708 --> 00:18:31,501
And taters!
279
00:18:31,585 --> 00:18:33,629
'Cause a full belly
is a righteous belly!
280
00:18:33,712 --> 00:18:35,005
Whoo!
281
00:18:35,088 --> 00:18:37,007
Chicken!
Oh, chicken!
282
00:18:37,090 --> 00:18:38,342
Everybody need chicken!
283
00:18:40,052 --> 00:18:42,846
I told you what I'd do.
You keep it up every Sunday.
284
00:18:42,930 --> 00:18:44,890
So rude and disrespectful
to my daddy.
285
00:18:44,973 --> 00:18:47,017
Oh, Lord, help me now.
I got a she-wolf on me.
286
00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:48,352
My daddy is a kind man.
287
00:18:48,435 --> 00:18:51,146
You just a flim-flam fool
not fit to walk in my daddy's shadow.
288
00:18:51,271 --> 00:18:55,025
Don't you have love in your heart
for anybody but yourself?
289
00:18:56,777 --> 00:18:58,153
Hang on, now.
290
00:18:58,278 --> 00:18:59,589
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.
291
00:18:59,613 --> 00:19:01,591
- Hold on. Hold on.
- Move away or I'll whop you again.
292
00:19:01,615 --> 00:19:03,033
And I deserve it.
293
00:19:03,116 --> 00:19:05,744
Ain't got no right to be mocking
your daddy. He a fine preacher.
294
00:19:05,827 --> 00:19:07,454
Look around.
295
00:19:07,537 --> 00:19:10,123
More folks watching me
than listening to him.
296
00:19:11,291 --> 00:19:13,691
Now, if all these folk,
tired from working so hard every day,
297
00:19:13,752 --> 00:19:15,921
will stop to hear
the word of the Lord,
298
00:19:16,004 --> 00:19:20,634
does it really matter if it comes
from the mouth of a fool like me?
299
00:19:20,717 --> 00:19:22,886
"Thy lips are as the honeycomb.
300
00:19:22,970 --> 00:19:25,305
Honey and milk
are on thy tongue.
301
00:19:25,389 --> 00:19:29,309
Thou art all fair,
my love."
302
00:19:29,393 --> 00:19:31,728
I heard your daddy preach that
from King Solomon's songs.
303
00:19:33,689 --> 00:19:35,482
Save your pretty talk.
304
00:19:35,565 --> 00:19:38,110
You see me giggling
and swooning?
305
00:19:39,111 --> 00:19:41,571
Hm. I know one thing.
306
00:19:41,655 --> 00:19:44,616
- You ain't never met a girl like me.
- Well, maybe not.
307
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:46,785
I'm not a pious man
like your daddy,
308
00:19:46,868 --> 00:19:49,037
but I know you ain't
let go of my hand yet.
309
00:19:50,455 --> 00:19:52,249
I'm George.
Live on the Lea farm.
310
00:19:52,332 --> 00:19:54,084
I know who you is,
311
00:19:54,167 --> 00:19:56,420
and I know all you care about
is fighting chickens.
312
00:19:56,503 --> 00:19:58,547
I do.
Know about other birds, too...
313
00:19:58,630 --> 00:20:01,299
starling, sparrow,
314
00:20:01,383 --> 00:20:03,135
mourning doves
sing so sweet and soft,
315
00:20:03,218 --> 00:20:05,971
make you want to open your eyes
to a new day.
316
00:20:06,054 --> 00:20:09,182
And I'm gonna see you again,
my mourning dove.
317
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,936
My daddy decides who courts me.
318
00:20:13,020 --> 00:20:14,438
Well, I ain't afraid
of your daddy.
319
00:20:14,521 --> 00:20:16,356
Then why don't you try me out?
320
00:20:18,650 --> 00:20:20,027
Hold this, Til.
321
00:20:21,111 --> 00:20:23,113
You got something
to say to me, boy?
322
00:20:26,742 --> 00:20:31,163
Now, I can feel
the Holy Spirit right here...
323
00:20:32,247 --> 00:20:34,124
right now!
324
00:20:35,542 --> 00:20:37,085
Mm! Whoo!
325
00:20:37,169 --> 00:20:40,380
Hallelujah!
You my one and only.
326
00:20:48,013 --> 00:20:51,099
He gonna put the fear of God
in them other handlers.
327
00:20:52,809 --> 00:20:54,811
What the hell you doing, boy?
328
00:20:54,895 --> 00:20:56,980
Letting him see me
eye-to-eye.
329
00:20:58,190 --> 00:21:01,735
I want him to know my hands
till he thinks we the same, me and him.
330
00:21:01,818 --> 00:21:04,446
Just feed him, clean him,
and put him away.
331
00:21:11,828 --> 00:21:16,374
Mingo, I got a notion
from watching all these fights.
332
00:21:16,458 --> 00:21:18,001
Keep a count.
333
00:21:18,085 --> 00:21:20,378
Times we lose
mostly when some other bird
334
00:21:20,462 --> 00:21:22,839
get over Massa's bird,
gaff him from the top.
335
00:21:22,923 --> 00:21:26,718
I think we need to give Massa's birds
a whole lot of training for they wings,
336
00:21:26,802 --> 00:21:29,221
make them stronger
so they fly higher,
337
00:21:29,304 --> 00:21:31,139
win even more than they do now.
338
00:21:31,223 --> 00:21:33,058
I figured out
special exercises.
339
00:21:33,141 --> 00:21:37,395
You good at exercising your mouth,
but you don't know birds.
340
00:21:37,479 --> 00:21:39,940
Killing bred into the bird.
341
00:21:40,023 --> 00:21:42,609
Don't need no wing training.
342
00:21:42,692 --> 00:21:46,113
You don't do nothing
till I say so.
343
00:21:46,196 --> 00:21:48,824
Been doing this
'fore you was alive.
344
00:22:02,295 --> 00:22:03,547
Get back here!
345
00:22:14,975 --> 00:22:18,353
What you doing to that bird?
What'd I tell you?
346
00:22:18,478 --> 00:22:20,230
You don't listen.
347
00:22:20,313 --> 00:22:21,731
Damn fool.
348
00:22:21,815 --> 00:22:24,234
Look how high I got him to fly.
Told you I could do it.
349
00:22:29,072 --> 00:22:31,700
I know what I see.
Damn truth.
350
00:22:45,755 --> 00:22:47,966
Want my mama
to look at that cough?
351
00:22:48,049 --> 00:22:50,177
Don't need no African medicine.
352
00:22:50,260 --> 00:22:54,764
And don't you say nothing
about this to Massa Tom.
353
00:23:06,401 --> 00:23:08,445
There's a gathering
down by the river tonight.
354
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,782
Boys stopping by to play
for everybody.
355
00:23:12,866 --> 00:23:15,452
- Come with me.
- Don't need to see nobody.
356
00:23:16,953 --> 00:23:19,664
Malizy said she ain't never see you
come by to visit.
357
00:23:19,748 --> 00:23:22,459
Only see you driving out
or coming back here.
358
00:23:22,542 --> 00:23:24,920
Can't stay by yourself
all the time.
359
00:23:25,003 --> 00:23:26,254
Leave me be.
360
00:23:26,338 --> 00:23:28,882
You a shadow
on a moonless night.
361
00:23:28,965 --> 00:23:31,134
You ain't hardly here, Mingo.
362
00:23:31,218 --> 00:23:32,552
The way I like it.
363
00:23:34,679 --> 00:23:37,515
People say they know who I am.
364
00:23:37,599 --> 00:23:39,392
They don't know me.
365
00:23:39,476 --> 00:23:42,062
Say they care about me.
366
00:23:42,145 --> 00:23:45,232
Had too many people taken away
367
00:23:45,315 --> 00:23:48,401
'cause of gossip and tall tale.
368
00:23:48,485 --> 00:23:51,488
Can't trust nobody.
369
00:23:51,571 --> 00:23:56,785
These birds, they can cut my flesh,
not my inside.
370
00:23:56,868 --> 00:24:00,205
Trust my birds, no one else.
371
00:24:00,288 --> 00:24:02,916
Don't trust you, neither.
372
00:24:14,970 --> 00:24:17,472
Your bid is clear and ready.
Pit your cock!
373
00:24:17,597 --> 00:24:19,474
Come on!
374
00:24:19,599 --> 00:24:21,643
Come on!
Come on!
375
00:24:21,726 --> 00:24:23,853
- Get up!
- Get him!
376
00:24:23,937 --> 00:24:26,940
Come on!
377
00:24:27,023 --> 00:24:29,901
- Come on up! Come on! Get him!
- Come on, you son of a bitch!
378
00:24:29,985 --> 00:24:31,319
Fight him!
379
00:24:33,196 --> 00:24:36,074
That's it!
Come on!
380
00:24:36,157 --> 00:24:37,993
- Fight him, Mingo!
- Get him!
381
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:41,997
Get him!
382
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,040
Aw, come on!
383
00:24:44,124 --> 00:24:46,626
Come on! Come on, now!
Come on!
384
00:24:46,710 --> 00:24:49,170
Get him!
Get him!
385
00:24:50,755 --> 00:24:52,757
- Fight him, Mingo!
- Get him!
386
00:24:52,841 --> 00:24:54,759
Come on! Rise up!
387
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,054
Show him who we are!
388
00:25:02,017 --> 00:25:03,018
Mingo!
389
00:25:03,101 --> 00:25:06,521
- It's over. It's done.
- He's done.
390
00:25:06,646 --> 00:25:10,191
Tom Lea resigns.
Match to Francis Dunnery.
391
00:25:10,275 --> 00:25:13,945
- Shit.
- Get your bets in, gentlemen.
392
00:25:14,029 --> 00:25:15,280
God damn me!
393
00:25:15,363 --> 00:25:18,408
I'll take a French pox and a screw
fore I lose this goddamn bet.
394
00:25:18,491 --> 00:25:19,784
Massa, I got a scheme.
395
00:25:19,868 --> 00:25:21,578
Mingo said his bird
was sure to win.
396
00:25:21,661 --> 00:25:23,413
I'm tired of working land.
397
00:25:23,496 --> 00:25:26,333
I ain't gonna wait till I'm old
to rise up where I should be.
398
00:25:26,416 --> 00:25:28,084
We need
these goddamn birds to win!
399
00:25:28,168 --> 00:25:29,419
I'll fetch the white.
400
00:25:29,502 --> 00:25:30,879
You can bet him hard.
Can't lose.
401
00:25:30,962 --> 00:25:32,714
Nuh-unh.
Use the Red for the next fight.
402
00:25:32,797 --> 00:25:34,382
- Red?
- No.
403
00:25:34,466 --> 00:25:36,092
No, he ain't trained.
404
00:25:36,176 --> 00:25:38,011
I trained him... myself.
405
00:25:38,094 --> 00:25:39,679
You sneaking 'round
'hind my back?
406
00:25:39,763 --> 00:25:42,724
Massa, all these birds attack head on,
maybe with a little jump.
407
00:25:42,807 --> 00:25:44,392
Now, I trained my Red
out in the woods.
408
00:25:44,476 --> 00:25:46,394
I dropped from a chestnut tree
high as a hawk,
409
00:25:46,478 --> 00:25:48,271
so he got wings stronger
than nothing else.
410
00:25:48,355 --> 00:25:49,981
Ain't no bird
gonna get above him.
411
00:25:50,065 --> 00:25:52,192
Ain't no bird gonna beat him.
412
00:25:52,275 --> 00:25:56,196
You think you can throw me out
like some used-up old bird
413
00:25:56,279 --> 00:25:58,990
just 'cause you
kissing Massa's ass?
414
00:25:59,074 --> 00:26:02,452
I raised these birds
since they was chicks.
415
00:26:02,535 --> 00:26:04,496
But I trained them right.
416
00:26:04,579 --> 00:26:05,830
I trained them better.
417
00:26:05,914 --> 00:26:07,165
Massa.
418
00:26:07,248 --> 00:26:10,919
I can still make you money.
419
00:26:11,002 --> 00:26:12,462
Whole lot.
420
00:26:16,716 --> 00:26:19,386
George, next fight's yours.
421
00:26:19,469 --> 00:26:22,597
Let's see if your scheme works.
422
00:26:22,722 --> 00:26:25,642
But, George,
if you lose this fight,
423
00:26:25,725 --> 00:26:29,229
you can forget about me
buying that Matilda gal.
424
00:26:31,189 --> 00:26:32,732
Son of a bitch.
425
00:26:42,909 --> 00:26:47,705
Tom Lea ain't never gonna forgive
poor old Mingo for losing his money.
426
00:26:47,789 --> 00:26:51,668
Tom Lea dreams of every penny
slipped through.
427
00:26:51,751 --> 00:26:55,338
I'm gonna win back
all them pennies and more.
428
00:26:55,422 --> 00:26:56,673
I hope not.
429
00:26:56,756 --> 00:26:59,008
You and me hack fighting next.
430
00:26:59,092 --> 00:27:02,137
Then, your Massa gonna be
terribly disappointed.
431
00:27:02,220 --> 00:27:06,224
I fight for myself.
Bought my papers three years ago.
432
00:27:06,307 --> 00:27:09,436
Now these my birds, my money.
433
00:27:11,688 --> 00:27:13,314
You a free man?
434
00:27:13,398 --> 00:27:14,858
Whole lot more than just me.
435
00:27:14,941 --> 00:27:17,944
Durham, Fayetteville.
You'll find us.
436
00:27:18,027 --> 00:27:21,656
But, yeah, I'm free.
437
00:27:21,781 --> 00:27:26,411
Till some sheriff wakes up
in a bad mood, has a sore tooth.
438
00:27:27,412 --> 00:27:31,207
Being free takes a watchful eye,
but I prefer it to the alternative.
439
00:27:31,291 --> 00:27:33,376
But how'd you get the money?
440
00:27:33,460 --> 00:27:36,546
Kept my hand in my own pocket,
coin by coin.
441
00:27:36,629 --> 00:27:38,131
Went without a lot of things.
442
00:27:38,214 --> 00:27:41,217
Kept looking ahead,
not regretting what got left behind.
443
00:27:41,301 --> 00:27:44,304
Way you carry yourself, I thought
for a minute you was free, too.
444
00:27:44,387 --> 00:27:46,097
I got a good Massa.
445
00:27:46,181 --> 00:27:49,058
Good enough to let you
buy yourself?
446
00:27:49,142 --> 00:27:52,187
He is giving you
a fine cut of his winnings.
447
00:27:55,315 --> 00:27:58,151
Think I'll take
your good Massa's money today.
448
00:28:00,653 --> 00:28:02,572
'Course, nobody knows you.
449
00:28:02,655 --> 00:28:04,616
Might be a skinny purse.
450
00:28:04,699 --> 00:28:08,244
These boys might need a push
to risk their money.
451
00:28:11,706 --> 00:28:14,042
Gentlemen, a hack fight!
452
00:28:14,125 --> 00:28:16,878
Birds... four pound six.
453
00:28:16,961 --> 00:28:18,505
Last wagers!
454
00:28:18,588 --> 00:28:20,757
Whoo!
455
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:26,012
The ear of man has not heard
nor head has felt
456
00:28:26,095 --> 00:28:30,391
nor eye has seen
a bird such as this.
457
00:28:31,893 --> 00:28:33,937
Wait.
Hang on now.
458
00:28:34,020 --> 00:28:35,939
I mislead you boys.
459
00:28:36,022 --> 00:28:38,066
This ain't no bird at all.
460
00:28:38,149 --> 00:28:40,985
This is a creature
you ain't never seen...
461
00:28:41,069 --> 00:28:42,612
half bird, half man,
462
00:28:42,695 --> 00:28:44,531
half of the forest,
half of my own soul.
463
00:28:44,614 --> 00:28:45,949
Now, what do y'all
think of that?
464
00:28:47,367 --> 00:28:49,911
I'll take $500, sir.
465
00:28:49,994 --> 00:28:51,538
And I'll give it.
466
00:28:51,621 --> 00:28:53,456
All right, all right,
all right, all right.
467
00:28:53,540 --> 00:28:56,042
Now, you are all men
of refinement and discretion,
468
00:28:56,125 --> 00:28:57,919
but why'd y'all
come here today?
469
00:28:58,002 --> 00:29:00,380
For a simple
gambling diversion?
470
00:29:00,463 --> 00:29:02,966
To take a chance against a fine
man like my Massa Tom Lea?
471
00:29:03,049 --> 00:29:04,759
No.
472
00:29:04,884 --> 00:29:08,388
You crave wonderment,
jubilation, revelation!
473
00:29:08,471 --> 00:29:11,724
Ooh, glory!
That's what you came to see!
474
00:29:11,808 --> 00:29:14,686
This bird, this uncommon,
fearsome campaigner
475
00:29:14,769 --> 00:29:16,062
leaves the barn in victory!
476
00:29:16,145 --> 00:29:18,439
You will cry tears that you've seen
the last of him,
477
00:29:18,523 --> 00:29:20,984
and you will yearn for more!
478
00:29:21,067 --> 00:29:23,570
I yearn to win my money back,
Chicken George.
479
00:29:23,653 --> 00:29:27,323
All right.
480
00:29:28,825 --> 00:29:30,743
I like it.
Yes, sir!
481
00:29:34,289 --> 00:29:37,875
Come on!
Put your money on me, boys!
482
00:29:37,959 --> 00:29:39,460
Bet $1,000?
483
00:29:39,544 --> 00:29:42,338
If you have faith
in your Chicken George.
484
00:29:42,422 --> 00:29:44,882
Always happy
to take your money, Jewett.
485
00:29:44,966 --> 00:29:49,596
What you got, boy?
What you got?
486
00:29:49,679 --> 00:29:53,224
Place your birds.
487
00:29:53,308 --> 00:29:56,436
You put on a good show
for your Massa, didn't you?
488
00:29:56,519 --> 00:29:58,730
Come on now, George.
489
00:30:03,526 --> 00:30:05,111
Step out.
490
00:30:14,829 --> 00:30:16,164
Pit your cocks!
491
00:30:30,595 --> 00:30:33,473
- No hard feelings, right?
- None at all.
492
00:30:33,556 --> 00:30:35,224
Just make sure
some of that pot is yours.
493
00:30:35,308 --> 00:30:37,393
You staying around these parts?
494
00:30:37,477 --> 00:30:39,520
For a while, long as it's safe.
495
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:41,064
Come by the Easter picnic.
496
00:30:42,148 --> 00:30:44,988
I want to hear more about what it takes
to get that paper make you free.
497
00:30:45,985 --> 00:30:47,320
Now, if you'll excuse me...
498
00:30:47,403 --> 00:30:49,906
go ask Massa for my cut.
499
00:30:49,989 --> 00:30:51,240
Pay the man his money.
500
00:30:51,324 --> 00:30:52,575
Thank you.
501
00:30:52,659 --> 00:30:55,745
Your Chicken George has skill.
502
00:30:55,828 --> 00:30:58,665
I had more skill to see it.
503
00:30:58,748 --> 00:31:01,292
Mr. Lea, as one gentlemen
to another,
504
00:31:01,376 --> 00:31:03,503
I'd like to buy
the boy from you.
505
00:31:04,921 --> 00:31:06,214
Buy my George?
506
00:31:06,297 --> 00:31:09,717
I inquire merely because I understand
you've acquired debt on your farm
507
00:31:09,801 --> 00:31:11,344
for equipment, seed, and stock.
508
00:31:11,427 --> 00:31:15,515
What happened to your nigger?
I heard he was a good man with the birds.
509
00:31:15,598 --> 00:31:18,559
Boy forgot his pass while traveling
to buy gamecocks for me.
510
00:31:18,643 --> 00:31:23,147
Patrol scared him.
He ran, and they shot him.
511
00:31:23,231 --> 00:31:25,817
Sorry for your inconvenience.
512
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:28,945
Name your price,
but I'd have this boy.
513
00:31:29,028 --> 00:31:30,780
No.
514
00:31:30,863 --> 00:31:34,075
Not now.
Not never.
515
00:31:34,158 --> 00:31:37,120
Never is a long time.
516
00:31:39,330 --> 00:31:41,124
And never to you, sir.
517
00:31:44,585 --> 00:31:47,213
May I invite you and your lovely wife
518
00:31:47,296 --> 00:31:50,049
to dine at our table
at the Easter picnic?
519
00:31:52,051 --> 00:31:53,302
You can expect it.
520
00:31:53,386 --> 00:31:54,929
I look forward to it.
521
00:31:55,179 --> 00:31:57,140
- Mr. Jewett.
- Mr. Lea.
522
00:31:57,223 --> 00:31:58,474
Gentlemen.
523
00:32:02,228 --> 00:32:05,064
Got lucky this time.
524
00:32:06,691 --> 00:32:09,777
Here we come, George,
just like I said. Here we come.
525
00:32:09,861 --> 00:32:11,946
Look, Massa, some folks
saying it's a custom
526
00:32:12,071 --> 00:32:15,158
to give me a bigger piece
of the pot when I win big.
527
00:32:15,241 --> 00:32:19,162
Did Mingo tell you that?
Son of a bitch.
528
00:32:25,668 --> 00:32:27,044
You won me lots of money, sir.
529
00:32:27,128 --> 00:32:28,713
Thanks, George.
You won me plenty today.
530
00:32:28,796 --> 00:32:30,673
Thank you. Thank you.
All right.
531
00:32:31,674 --> 00:32:35,428
I think I'm gonna save up
my money, just like you, Massa.
532
00:32:35,511 --> 00:32:36,763
You earned it.
533
00:32:36,846 --> 00:32:39,098
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
534
00:32:39,182 --> 00:32:40,516
Thank you, Massa.
Thank you.
535
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,519
Ah, we're winning, George.
536
00:32:43,603 --> 00:32:47,732
Boy, come on.
You ain't got no money.
537
00:32:47,815 --> 00:32:49,108
Shit.
538
00:32:59,619 --> 00:33:01,370
I'm gonna do something
for you, George.
539
00:33:01,454 --> 00:33:03,414
I need younger field hands.
540
00:33:03,498 --> 00:33:06,876
Old Pompey and Malizy gonna be
used up sooner than later.
541
00:33:06,959 --> 00:33:09,420
Old Sarah don't work
so hard right now.
542
00:33:09,504 --> 00:33:11,798
So if that gal's fool enough
to jump the broom
543
00:33:11,881 --> 00:33:14,383
with someone who loves
running tail as much as you,
544
00:33:14,467 --> 00:33:16,594
I'll ride over
and talk to MacGregor.
545
00:33:16,677 --> 00:33:18,846
If he's got as many hands
as you say,
546
00:33:18,930 --> 00:33:20,598
he ought not to miss
a field gal.
547
00:33:20,681 --> 00:33:22,016
Thank you, Massa.
548
00:33:22,141 --> 00:33:24,977
That's if we come
to a decent price.
549
00:33:25,061 --> 00:33:27,605
Then you can move that gal...
550
00:33:27,688 --> 00:33:30,566
- What's her name?
- Matilda.
551
00:33:30,650 --> 00:33:32,860
You can build Matilda
a cabin at my place.
552
00:33:32,944 --> 00:33:36,364
Long as you understand
your first place is with my birds.
553
00:33:36,447 --> 00:33:37,865
The way it should be.
554
00:33:37,949 --> 00:33:40,159
And I expect you
to keep her belly full.
555
00:33:40,243 --> 00:33:43,955
Keep them babies sliding out,
increase my stock.
556
00:33:44,038 --> 00:33:47,625
I'll make my money back,
and more.
557
00:33:47,708 --> 00:33:49,919
Kizzy like this gal?
558
00:33:50,002 --> 00:33:52,630
I wouldn't want to get
on her bad side if I were you.
559
00:33:59,262 --> 00:34:01,889
All this spinning
is making me dizzy.
560
00:34:01,973 --> 00:34:04,433
One, two, three.
That's how they do it.
561
00:34:05,852 --> 00:34:09,355
- Where you get all this finery?
- Oh, I bought these.
562
00:34:09,438 --> 00:34:12,483
Massa pays us a little
when our birds win.
563
00:34:12,567 --> 00:34:15,653
Money ain't nothing
but a butterfly to you...
564
00:34:15,736 --> 00:34:17,446
come pretty and go fast.
565
00:34:17,530 --> 00:34:21,742
You don't need
no fancy clothes.
566
00:34:23,286 --> 00:34:27,123
- Mama, you need to meet somebody.
- What you need me to come for?
567
00:34:27,206 --> 00:34:28,916
She Matilda.
568
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,294
She hardheaded, but I like her.
Come on.
569
00:34:31,377 --> 00:34:34,005
I thought you said
tonight was our night.
570
00:34:34,088 --> 00:34:36,924
You and that girl connived
this whole coming together.
571
00:34:39,552 --> 00:34:41,679
- Matilda.
- I'm Matilda, ma'am.
572
00:34:41,762 --> 00:34:44,432
This my father, Reverend Lyon.
573
00:34:44,515 --> 00:34:47,852
Your son say
you a woman of, uh, faith.
574
00:34:47,935 --> 00:34:50,771
I am.
575
00:34:50,855 --> 00:34:52,481
But it ain't your faith.
576
00:34:52,565 --> 00:34:54,734
I ain't interested
in the white man's God.
577
00:34:54,817 --> 00:34:57,403
My daddy say the only reason
our folk is
578
00:34:57,486 --> 00:34:59,822
- is 'cause it got beat into us.
- The Lord say that...
579
00:34:59,906 --> 00:35:02,199
Mama, why don't we get
our guests something to eat?
580
00:35:02,283 --> 00:35:04,911
Uh, I ain't offended.
I know my God's real.
581
00:35:04,994 --> 00:35:07,538
He love me,
and He love you, too.
582
00:35:07,622 --> 00:35:08,956
Amen.
Let's dance, Mama.
583
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,875
You ever preach
from the book of Exodus?
584
00:35:10,958 --> 00:35:12,501
Well, I...
585
00:35:12,585 --> 00:35:14,229
White preacher
don't let no slave preacher man
586
00:35:14,253 --> 00:35:16,589
talk about the Israelites
or Pharaoh, do they?
587
00:35:16,672 --> 00:35:19,800
No slaves marching
across the sea to be free.
588
00:35:19,884 --> 00:35:22,637
Bet them pages cut
right out your Bible.
589
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:24,597
Start preaching about Exodus,
590
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,183
find yourself swinging
from a low limb.
591
00:35:27,266 --> 00:35:30,227
Mama, folks say make the best
of a hard situation.
592
00:35:30,311 --> 00:35:33,356
Maybe that's all folks
who believe in God trying to do.
593
00:35:33,439 --> 00:35:35,232
Have his God
make slavery go away,
594
00:35:35,316 --> 00:35:37,360
I'll meet you
in church every Sunday.
595
00:36:08,391 --> 00:36:12,311
My daddy likely to beat you
if he hear you playing like that.
596
00:36:12,395 --> 00:36:15,523
Mama, I make Massa money.
597
00:36:15,606 --> 00:36:17,817
Truth is,
I know the white gamblers
598
00:36:17,900 --> 00:36:20,069
bet more just to see me.
599
00:36:20,152 --> 00:36:23,030
All that stuff
matter more to him than you.
600
00:36:23,114 --> 00:36:24,991
It ain't our way.
601
00:36:25,074 --> 00:36:28,119
I heard about some slaves
buying their freedom nowadays.
602
00:36:28,202 --> 00:36:31,622
More famous I get,
more I get a chance to buy my freedom.
603
00:36:31,706 --> 00:36:33,791
You think you gonna buy
your freedom?
604
00:36:33,874 --> 00:36:35,418
Mine, yours.
605
00:36:37,086 --> 00:36:39,046
Mama, I want to marry Matilda.
606
00:36:39,130 --> 00:36:42,091
- I can look after all of us.
- Do you love her?
607
00:36:42,174 --> 00:36:45,136
She a good woman, Mama.
608
00:36:45,219 --> 00:36:46,470
Different than everybody else.
609
00:36:46,554 --> 00:36:48,973
She's smart,
stubborn, like you.
610
00:36:49,056 --> 00:36:51,934
She's so pretty.
611
00:36:52,018 --> 00:36:53,811
Not as pretty as me,
but she pretty.
612
00:36:53,894 --> 00:36:56,397
You can't make no plans
depend on Massa.
613
00:36:58,524 --> 00:37:00,526
You mean so much to me.
614
00:37:01,944 --> 00:37:04,989
Let me teach you how to read
so you can be your own man.
615
00:37:05,072 --> 00:37:07,533
I'll always be my own man.
616
00:37:07,616 --> 00:37:11,203
Only knew one other somebody
617
00:37:11,287 --> 00:37:13,622
live his life trying to be
his own man...
618
00:37:13,706 --> 00:37:17,126
your grandpapa, Kunta Kinte.
619
00:37:17,209 --> 00:37:20,212
With them roosters,
I can do anything.
620
00:37:20,296 --> 00:37:22,381
That's how I'm getting free.
621
00:37:22,465 --> 00:37:26,135
That's how we're all
getting free.
622
00:37:26,218 --> 00:37:28,387
Come on, Mama.
They ain't gonna play all night.
623
00:37:28,471 --> 00:37:31,057
You go.
I'm gonna stay here,
624
00:37:31,140 --> 00:37:33,434
spend some time
talking with my daddy.
625
00:37:33,517 --> 00:37:35,978
Mama, you can't...
626
00:37:36,062 --> 00:37:37,605
You go.
627
00:38:03,047 --> 00:38:06,592
Mrs. Shubal, breakfast
looks delightful, does it not?
628
00:38:06,675 --> 00:38:10,679
It's a beautiful day,
isn't it? My favorite holiday.
629
00:38:10,763 --> 00:38:13,766
- Mr. Lea, Miss Patricia.
- Morning, Reverend.
630
00:38:15,142 --> 00:38:16,769
Your hat, sir?
631
00:38:27,238 --> 00:38:29,448
George, what are you doing?
632
00:38:29,532 --> 00:38:32,993
Well, there's Tom Lea
and his lovely wife, Patricia.
633
00:38:33,077 --> 00:38:34,912
Good morning,
Mr. Lea.
634
00:38:34,995 --> 00:38:36,789
Good morning,
Mr. Jewett.
635
00:38:36,872 --> 00:38:39,166
- Mrs. Lea.
- Morning.
636
00:38:39,250 --> 00:38:41,418
Good morning, Mrs. Lea.
637
00:38:41,502 --> 00:38:43,254
Morning, Mrs. Jewett.
638
00:38:47,383 --> 00:38:49,093
Please, allow me.
639
00:38:49,176 --> 00:38:51,762
Thank you, Mr. Jewett.
640
00:38:51,846 --> 00:38:54,014
There you are.
641
00:38:54,098 --> 00:38:57,393
Now, our table is complete.
642
00:39:02,189 --> 00:39:06,652
Mama, this is Marcellus,
free man I told you about.
643
00:39:06,735 --> 00:39:10,406
I'm not sure which one of y'all
is the bad influence.
644
00:39:10,489 --> 00:39:14,285
I'm not sure anyone
has much sway over your boy.
645
00:39:14,368 --> 00:39:17,496
Seems like his spark
can dazzle anyone.
646
00:39:17,580 --> 00:39:20,583
Now it's obvious
he gets that from you,
647
00:39:20,666 --> 00:39:23,502
which makes his daddy
a lucky man.
648
00:39:23,586 --> 00:39:27,006
- My mama lives alone.
- Just like I like it.
649
00:39:27,089 --> 00:39:28,757
I'd never have some man
bossing me around,
650
00:39:28,841 --> 00:39:30,634
acting like he my second massa.
651
00:39:30,718 --> 00:39:35,264
Ma'am, there are two things
I'll never understand:
652
00:39:35,347 --> 00:39:38,934
A man who mistreats
a woman who loves him...
653
00:39:39,018 --> 00:39:40,519
That's one.
654
00:39:40,603 --> 00:39:44,857
Oh, the other would be
a man who can't appreciate
655
00:39:44,940 --> 00:39:47,818
a woman who knows her own mind.
656
00:39:55,576 --> 00:39:57,870
I thought you were a free man.
657
00:39:57,953 --> 00:40:02,458
Who's freely deciding to carry this tray
for a beautiful woman.
658
00:40:05,336 --> 00:40:09,340
Anyone can see that Jackson
is too boorish to be president.
659
00:40:09,423 --> 00:40:12,426
He's a warmonger
and an adulterer.
660
00:40:12,551 --> 00:40:16,764
Only ignorant men without land
or education would back him.
661
00:40:16,847 --> 00:40:18,224
Tom.
662
00:40:19,683 --> 00:40:22,019
I say Old Hickory's gonna be
a damn good president.
663
00:40:22,102 --> 00:40:24,355
He'll protect cotton investors
clearing out woods
664
00:40:24,438 --> 00:40:27,233
in Mississippi and Alabama.
665
00:40:27,316 --> 00:40:31,487
- Yeah, I'll vote Jackson.
- My point proven.
666
00:40:31,570 --> 00:40:33,405
This country will sink
into a cesspool
667
00:40:33,489 --> 00:40:35,324
if we keep giving
lowborn men a vote.
668
00:40:35,407 --> 00:40:38,369
We're going by train
to New York to visit my cousin.
669
00:40:38,452 --> 00:40:41,205
Her husband has a position
with new clothiers...
670
00:40:41,288 --> 00:40:42,790
Mr. Lord and Mr. Taylor.
671
00:40:42,873 --> 00:40:48,379
But she warned us that the streets are
foul with horse droppings and Irish.
672
00:40:52,508 --> 00:40:53,829
What have I ever done
to you, sir?
673
00:40:55,678 --> 00:40:57,888
I pay no attention
to you at all...
674
00:40:57,972 --> 00:40:59,223
sir.
675
00:40:59,306 --> 00:41:02,226
I offer conversation and good
cheer on a fine holiday.
676
00:41:02,309 --> 00:41:05,854
And yet you poke, poke, poke me
like a damn hog.
677
00:41:10,401 --> 00:41:11,902
I demand you tell me why.
678
00:41:11,986 --> 00:41:13,696
Take your hands off me.
679
00:41:13,779 --> 00:41:16,448
Let's go. Can't stop
these men once they start.
680
00:41:16,532 --> 00:41:18,534
I have no idea
if they're clean.
681
00:41:18,617 --> 00:41:20,244
God damn me.
682
00:41:20,327 --> 00:41:24,415
On Easter Sunday, in front of my wife
and these good people?
683
00:41:26,458 --> 00:41:28,127
Look at me, Byrd!
684
00:41:28,210 --> 00:41:34,133
I see you clearly, sir,
exactly as they all see you.
685
00:41:34,216 --> 00:41:36,427
You bungle you farm
till it's near in ruin,
686
00:41:36,510 --> 00:41:38,846
waste your money
on drink and gambling.
687
00:41:38,929 --> 00:41:40,681
Earn a penny, spend a dollar...
688
00:41:40,764 --> 00:41:42,391
Oh, that's the Irish.
I know them.
689
00:41:42,474 --> 00:41:44,143
Scrub all you will, sir.
690
00:41:44,226 --> 00:41:46,812
The dirt is not
under your nails, sir.
691
00:41:46,895 --> 00:41:48,897
It's in your soul.
692
00:41:48,981 --> 00:41:50,983
And I'd dine with niggers
before I'd dine with you.
693
00:41:55,154 --> 00:41:56,989
Get off of me!
Get off me!
694
00:41:57,072 --> 00:41:59,199
Get your hands off me,
you son of a bitch!
695
00:41:59,283 --> 00:42:02,244
I'll geld you, you bastard.
696
00:42:02,328 --> 00:42:04,913
You need to come home, Massa!
697
00:42:04,997 --> 00:42:06,540
I'm worth 10 like you.
698
00:42:06,665 --> 00:42:09,001
You never did a hard day's work
in your life.
699
00:42:09,084 --> 00:42:10,502
Soft hands, like a woman.
700
00:42:10,586 --> 00:42:12,921
You think your money
makes you a man?
701
00:42:13,005 --> 00:42:15,466
I'm the only real man
in this goddamn county.
702
00:42:15,549 --> 00:42:17,051
Son of a bitch!
703
00:42:17,134 --> 00:42:19,678
I do not settle my battles
with fisticuffs,
704
00:42:19,762 --> 00:42:21,889
like some drunken bar brawler.
705
00:42:21,972 --> 00:42:23,807
You settle this
however the hell you will.
706
00:42:23,891 --> 00:42:26,477
For once, act like a gentleman.
707
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:30,022
Allow me satisfaction
in the field... a duel.
708
00:42:30,105 --> 00:42:31,398
Face-to-face.
709
00:42:31,482 --> 00:42:34,109
Whenever and wherever you say.
710
00:42:35,819 --> 00:42:37,488
You bucket of piss!
711
00:42:38,489 --> 00:42:39,782
You'll stand by me, George.
712
00:42:39,865 --> 00:42:41,784
Attend my weapons,
be my second.
713
00:42:41,867 --> 00:42:44,703
You ain't fired a gun in a while, Massa.
Let it be. We got...
714
00:42:44,787 --> 00:42:48,165
George, I need you
to do this for me.
715
00:42:48,248 --> 00:42:51,668
- I depend on you.
- Yes, Massa.
716
00:42:51,752 --> 00:42:53,796
Patricia.
717
00:42:53,879 --> 00:42:57,549
Can't no slave be 'round no white men
when they get like this.
718
00:42:57,633 --> 00:43:00,094
Massa Byrd can kill you
without thinking.
719
00:43:00,177 --> 00:43:02,846
And ain't no sheriff
gonna do nothing 'bout it.
720
00:43:02,930 --> 00:43:06,350
- Kizzy, he can't say no.
- Yes, he can.
721
00:43:06,433 --> 00:43:07,851
But he too caught up and concerned
722
00:43:07,935 --> 00:43:10,104
about that no-count cracker
and his birds.
723
00:43:10,187 --> 00:43:11,998
What you think gonna happen
if Massa Tom get killed?
724
00:43:12,022 --> 00:43:14,608
Think Miss Patricia
gonna sell us all together?
725
00:43:14,733 --> 00:43:16,378
She gonna run off
to the woods she came from,
726
00:43:16,402 --> 00:43:18,713
and we gonna end up on paddle wheelers
for cotton Mississippi.
727
00:43:18,737 --> 00:43:20,823
Why can't you understand?
728
00:43:20,906 --> 00:43:23,784
You can't risk your life
for that man.
729
00:43:23,867 --> 00:43:25,828
Not for him...
for us.
730
00:43:25,911 --> 00:43:28,580
I need to keep Tom Lea
alive for us.
731
00:43:31,458 --> 00:43:33,293
George.
732
00:43:33,377 --> 00:43:36,588
Not by chance, not any of this.
733
00:43:38,924 --> 00:43:41,260
There's the man
wants your massa dead.
734
00:43:44,596 --> 00:43:46,598
Massa Jewett?
735
00:43:46,682 --> 00:43:49,435
If Tom Lea is killed,
he's gonna buy your son.
736
00:43:49,518 --> 00:43:52,604
Tom Lea made a mistake
refusing his offer for George.
737
00:43:52,688 --> 00:43:54,898
And the thing
about rich white men,
738
00:43:54,982 --> 00:43:57,067
they'll take 10 steps at a tilt
739
00:43:57,151 --> 00:43:59,862
just to take one step
straight to what they want.
740
00:44:18,213 --> 00:44:19,548
Whoa.
741
00:44:28,182 --> 00:44:30,434
You think you doing this
for your family.
742
00:44:30,517 --> 00:44:33,020
But I known you
since you was a little boy.
743
00:44:33,103 --> 00:44:35,772
I know the love you got
inside you for Massa.
744
00:44:35,856 --> 00:44:39,276
You thinking maybe one tiny
piece of him inside the same.
745
00:44:39,359 --> 00:44:41,153
Make you as stupid as he is.
746
00:44:41,236 --> 00:44:43,530
He ain't never gonna see you
for what you truly is
747
00:44:43,614 --> 00:44:45,491
no matter what you think.
748
00:44:45,574 --> 00:44:48,994
Pardon me
if I don't wish him luck.
749
00:45:17,189 --> 00:45:19,274
I'll look after him.
750
00:45:27,658 --> 00:45:30,661
Less likely to string
the two of us up,
751
00:45:30,744 --> 00:45:33,372
but I've been wrong before.
752
00:45:44,299 --> 00:45:46,343
High card will decide
who fires first.
753
00:45:46,426 --> 00:45:49,346
You will then separate
and face each other.
754
00:45:49,429 --> 00:45:52,891
On my command, you will each
discharge your pistols in succession.
755
00:45:52,975 --> 00:45:55,686
If you both remain alive,
756
00:45:55,769 --> 00:45:59,523
you will proceed with swords
until one of you is dead.
757
00:46:04,987 --> 00:46:06,238
Five diamonds.
758
00:46:11,493 --> 00:46:12,995
Three clubs.
759
00:46:13,078 --> 00:46:15,831
Mr. Lea will shoot first.
760
00:46:15,914 --> 00:46:18,750
And may God have mercy
on your souls.
761
00:46:29,845 --> 00:46:32,514
This your day.
762
00:46:32,598 --> 00:46:35,017
Take your time.
763
00:46:35,100 --> 00:46:38,937
Got to wait till your eyes see clear,
breathing even.
764
00:46:39,021 --> 00:46:41,607
You hear me?
Take your time.
765
00:46:41,690 --> 00:46:43,734
I know, George.
766
00:46:43,817 --> 00:46:46,528
I intend to kill him
with my first shot.
767
00:47:05,672 --> 00:47:07,549
You're my only true friend.
768
00:47:08,550 --> 00:47:11,637
Do this friend a favor.
Kill that son of a bitch.
769
00:47:14,765 --> 00:47:17,142
Your first shot,
Mr. Lea.
770
00:47:28,528 --> 00:47:30,614
Still shaking,
didn't even take aim.
771
00:47:30,697 --> 00:47:33,033
Mr. Byrd.
First shot.
772
00:47:39,331 --> 00:47:41,792
Goddamn.
This can't be.
773
00:47:43,085 --> 00:47:45,504
Aah!
774
00:47:51,843 --> 00:47:54,096
You do this next shot
right, now.
775
00:47:54,179 --> 00:47:57,474
Take your time.
Nice and steady.
776
00:47:59,851 --> 00:48:01,812
If you niggers interfere,
we'll kill you!
777
00:48:01,895 --> 00:48:03,689
Be sure of that!
778
00:48:03,772 --> 00:48:07,317
Second shot, Mr. Lea.
779
00:48:31,133 --> 00:48:33,468
Mr. Byrd, second shot.
780
00:48:53,947 --> 00:48:55,198
Aah!
781
00:48:56,199 --> 00:48:57,534
Gentlemen.
782
00:48:59,077 --> 00:49:02,289
Gentlemen.
Do either of you yield?
783
00:49:02,372 --> 00:49:04,875
No.
784
00:49:04,958 --> 00:49:06,752
No!
785
00:49:06,835 --> 00:49:08,211
Mr. Lea does not yield!
786
00:49:08,295 --> 00:49:10,756
Gentlemen, swords!
787
00:49:13,133 --> 00:49:14,551
Sword.
788
00:49:15,677 --> 00:49:17,220
Damn it, Byrd, yield.
789
00:49:17,304 --> 00:49:19,639
He's bleeding hard.
Can't let him find his legs.
790
00:49:19,723 --> 00:49:20,974
Get right at him.
791
00:49:21,099 --> 00:49:22,309
No! Get away.
792
00:49:22,392 --> 00:49:23,769
I can't feel my hand, George.
793
00:49:23,852 --> 00:49:25,312
You take this sword.
794
00:49:25,395 --> 00:49:27,275
You got to fight hard
if you want to stay alive.
795
00:49:27,314 --> 00:49:29,065
Now get on your damn feet!
Get up!
796
00:49:32,027 --> 00:49:33,278
- Get up!
- Sword!
797
00:49:33,361 --> 00:49:36,114
- Put it in my hand.
- Come on!
798
00:49:36,198 --> 00:49:38,241
- Got it.
- Get up!
799
00:49:46,833 --> 00:49:48,460
Aah!
800
00:50:15,737 --> 00:50:18,073
No, no.
801
00:50:19,783 --> 00:50:21,576
Massa, you stay down,
you gonna die.
802
00:50:21,660 --> 00:50:22,911
That what you want?
803
00:50:22,994 --> 00:50:24,830
Is that what you came here
for today?
804
00:50:27,707 --> 00:50:29,668
Him on his feet,
looking down on you?
805
00:50:29,751 --> 00:50:31,419
The way everybody
look down on you?
806
00:50:31,503 --> 00:50:34,881
He say you dirt.
807
00:50:34,965 --> 00:50:36,445
That's how we'll bury you
if you want,
808
00:50:36,466 --> 00:50:38,385
deep in the damn dirt!
809
00:50:38,468 --> 00:50:41,096
Mr. Lea, do you yield?
810
00:50:41,179 --> 00:50:42,973
George, it hurts so bad.
811
00:50:43,056 --> 00:50:45,475
Oh, you in the pit now, Massa.
812
00:50:45,559 --> 00:50:47,143
Want to let him jeer you,
813
00:50:47,227 --> 00:50:49,229
throw your carcass
in a dung hole?
814
00:50:49,312 --> 00:50:50,564
Step back, boy!
815
00:50:50,647 --> 00:50:52,816
- Rise up high. You the gamecock now.
- Get up, George.
816
00:50:52,899 --> 00:50:54,693
Rise up! Come down
on this son of a bitch!
817
00:50:54,776 --> 00:50:56,486
Rise up, Tom Lea, come on!
818
00:50:56,570 --> 00:50:58,446
Come on, show them all!
819
00:50:59,531 --> 00:51:01,241
Show him, Tom!
820
00:51:15,881 --> 00:51:17,173
Aah!
821
00:51:17,257 --> 00:51:19,467
- No, Massa!
- I yield! I yield!
822
00:51:19,551 --> 00:51:21,803
- I yield.
- He yields! Let him be!
823
00:51:25,432 --> 00:51:27,934
I'm a better man than you.
824
00:51:29,561 --> 00:51:32,230
He yielded!
It's time for mercy.
825
00:51:38,153 --> 00:51:39,946
All right.
I got you, I got you.
826
00:51:40,030 --> 00:51:41,865
- I got you.
- Mr. Byrd! Mr. Byrd!
827
00:51:41,948 --> 00:51:44,451
Folks are gonna talk
about what you did today.
828
00:51:44,534 --> 00:51:46,411
All across Carolina,
they'll say,
829
00:51:46,494 --> 00:51:48,872
"Tom Lea is a gentleman."
830
00:51:48,955 --> 00:51:53,001
I was... a fine gentleman.
831
00:51:53,084 --> 00:51:56,004
They're gonna say my name,
ain't they... Tom Lea.
832
00:51:56,087 --> 00:51:58,256
For sure.
833
00:52:00,258 --> 00:52:02,093
Take me home, George.
834
00:52:03,970 --> 00:52:05,847
Take me home.
835
00:52:44,886 --> 00:52:48,139
You over there?
836
00:53:05,240 --> 00:53:08,868
I'd have bled my soul out
on that field.
837
00:53:08,952 --> 00:53:13,331
You pushed me hard.
Kept me strong.
838
00:53:13,415 --> 00:53:16,334
You don't win,
what happen to all of us?
839
00:53:16,418 --> 00:53:20,296
Damn right.
840
00:53:20,380 --> 00:53:22,090
I want to tell you something.
841
00:53:26,386 --> 00:53:30,223
I was 11 years old
when I hit the road,
842
00:53:30,348 --> 00:53:32,767
asking for a job.
843
00:53:32,851 --> 00:53:34,769
I ate scraps.
844
00:53:34,853 --> 00:53:37,480
Nights I'd chew bark.
845
00:53:38,982 --> 00:53:41,317
Dry leaves my only blanket.
846
00:53:41,401 --> 00:53:43,236
Froze my ass.
847
00:53:44,863 --> 00:53:48,867
The whole lot of you
has it a damn lot easier.
848
00:53:48,950 --> 00:53:52,245
Oh, any man with eyes
can see that.
849
00:53:54,998 --> 00:53:57,500
Oh, hell, George.
850
00:53:57,584 --> 00:54:00,712
I ain't as bad as some.
851
00:54:00,795 --> 00:54:03,757
What do I always say?
852
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:05,717
Make me rich.
853
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,303
Raise yourself up.
854
00:54:10,221 --> 00:54:11,556
That's how money works.
855
00:54:14,642 --> 00:54:18,188
Then I'd like some of that money
to start working to get me papers...
856
00:54:19,439 --> 00:54:21,316
...to be free.
857
00:54:26,446 --> 00:54:27,864
I intend to work hard.
858
00:54:27,947 --> 00:54:30,408
Win every cock fight,
make you real rich.
859
00:54:32,786 --> 00:54:37,040
I got to know a time gonna come
when I can buy me free.
860
00:54:41,044 --> 00:54:42,962
I don't see why not, George.
861
00:54:44,714 --> 00:54:46,549
It's all dollars and cents.
862
00:54:52,222 --> 00:54:56,226
When the number's right,
I promise...
863
00:54:57,602 --> 00:55:00,605
I'm gonna write
those papers for you.
864
00:55:03,483 --> 00:55:06,361
Then I'm gonna make you
so damn dirty rich,
865
00:55:06,444 --> 00:55:09,823
gonna need to buy a new wagon
just to load the moneybags.
866
00:55:13,660 --> 00:55:17,372
Oh, you and me think
the same way, George.
867
00:55:17,455 --> 00:55:19,791
I brought you up right.
868
00:55:19,874 --> 00:55:22,252
She ought to thank me.
869
00:55:33,930 --> 00:55:37,684
One, two, three.
870
00:55:37,767 --> 00:55:39,561
Oh!
871
00:55:41,980 --> 00:55:44,858
Thank y'all.
Thank y'all.
872
00:55:44,941 --> 00:55:46,484
Congratulations.
Bless you.
873
00:55:49,112 --> 00:55:50,572
Oh.
874
00:55:57,912 --> 00:56:00,790
I promise to stay
by your side forever.
875
00:56:00,874 --> 00:56:02,333
I never had a daddy,
876
00:56:02,417 --> 00:56:05,128
but my baby's gonna have me
all the time.
877
00:56:05,211 --> 00:56:07,839
Nothing ever gonna pull me
away from you.
878
00:56:07,922 --> 00:56:11,301
That's all I want, George.
879
00:56:12,302 --> 00:56:15,263
May the Lord keep
and bless this holy union.
880
00:56:15,346 --> 00:56:17,599
- Hallelujah!
- Hallelujah!
881
00:56:17,682 --> 00:56:19,058
All right.
882
00:56:22,729 --> 00:56:23,980
Yes, sir.
883
00:56:24,981 --> 00:56:27,984
It was so nice of Mama Kizzy
to lend me her dress for the wedding.
884
00:56:28,067 --> 00:56:29,068
So beautiful.
885
00:56:36,910 --> 00:56:38,411
What you know about that?
886
00:56:38,536 --> 00:56:41,539
You ain't the only one know
about African tradition.
887
00:56:41,623 --> 00:56:43,958
You declaring your intention?
888
00:56:44,042 --> 00:56:46,586
Expect so.
889
00:56:48,129 --> 00:56:49,714
That make you dizzy?
890
00:56:49,797 --> 00:56:52,425
No, dance didn't make me dizzy.
891
00:56:52,550 --> 00:56:55,470
Just feel like I fit
right in your arms.
892
00:56:55,553 --> 00:56:57,222
My arms can go wide,
893
00:56:57,305 --> 00:57:00,099
they can come tight.
894
00:57:00,183 --> 00:57:03,228
But I do what I can
to make the fit work.
895
00:57:07,273 --> 00:57:08,566
George.
896
00:57:16,282 --> 00:57:18,826
Why is that man always
showing off your boy?
897
00:57:18,910 --> 00:57:21,079
For better or worse,
they got a bond.
898
00:57:21,162 --> 00:57:24,582
What we got is a bond.
899
00:57:24,666 --> 00:57:28,878
What they got,
something completely different.
900
00:57:31,381 --> 00:57:32,982
Glad to see you're
feeling better, Massa.
901
00:57:33,007 --> 00:57:38,429
We can get back on the road,
make some money.
902
00:57:38,513 --> 00:57:40,513
Of course it's gonna take
your first year's salary,
903
00:57:40,515 --> 00:57:43,685
pay me back for buying
that Matilda gal from MacGregor.
904
00:57:43,768 --> 00:57:46,688
She worth every penny.
905
00:57:46,771 --> 00:57:52,110
You get to making babies,
increase my stock.
906
00:57:52,193 --> 00:57:57,740
And when a boy comes,
Tom would be a fine name for a boy.
907
00:57:57,824 --> 00:58:01,995
- Ain't that right, Sarah?
- Strong name, Massa.
908
00:58:02,078 --> 00:58:03,538
Tom it'll be, Massa.
909
00:58:05,039 --> 00:58:07,041
If it's a boy.
910
00:58:07,125 --> 00:58:08,626
George.
911
00:58:08,710 --> 00:58:11,337
I think you mama's sweet
on that boy.
912
00:58:11,421 --> 00:58:13,381
I ain't never seen mama
in a mood like this.
913
00:58:13,464 --> 00:58:15,466
Wakes up happy.
914
00:58:17,135 --> 00:58:20,013
- She always pretty when she smiles.
- Mm-hmm.
915
00:58:25,351 --> 00:58:28,146
You know what they call
a free nigger in North Carolina?
916
00:58:31,190 --> 00:58:32,483
Nigger.
917
00:58:45,246 --> 00:58:48,541
Folks sure did miss you
at the wedding.
918
00:58:48,666 --> 00:58:50,960
Smoothest liar I ever met.
919
00:58:51,044 --> 00:58:52,670
Thank you.
920
00:58:57,675 --> 00:58:59,302
Bet your mama
gonna be after you
921
00:58:59,385 --> 00:59:01,179
to hatch some chickens
of your own.
922
00:59:01,262 --> 00:59:04,015
Not if he gonna name
the first one Tom.
923
00:59:04,098 --> 00:59:07,810
Miss Kizzy, congratulations
on your happy day.
924
00:59:07,894 --> 00:59:11,773
It was happy, till I heard my boy promised
his firstborn son
925
00:59:11,856 --> 00:59:13,816
gonna carry Massa's name.
926
00:59:13,900 --> 00:59:15,818
Me and Matilda gonna have
lots of babies.
927
00:59:15,902 --> 00:59:18,738
Plenty of names to go around.
Maybe even Mingo.
928
00:59:18,821 --> 00:59:22,116
You can't name no one
in this family after that man.
929
00:59:24,577 --> 00:59:26,829
Gonna go gather up some wood
for my fire.
930
00:59:28,706 --> 00:59:30,958
I know how to handle
Tom Lea, Mama.
931
00:59:31,042 --> 00:59:33,503
Ain't no handling no massa,
932
00:59:33,586 --> 00:59:35,505
especially not one
like Tom Lea.
933
00:59:35,588 --> 00:59:37,507
It's just a name, Mama.
934
00:59:37,590 --> 00:59:40,134
A name is who you is.
935
00:59:40,218 --> 00:59:44,180
My daddy took whippings
night and day to protect his name.
936
00:59:44,263 --> 00:59:45,807
What is it you want from me?
937
00:59:45,890 --> 00:59:48,810
Wouldn't make no sense to say
'cause I ain't never gonna get it.
938
00:59:48,893 --> 00:59:52,230
I shouldn't be surprised
you act the way you do.
939
00:59:52,313 --> 00:59:55,650
But don't you ever
get no shame, George.
940
00:59:55,733 --> 00:59:57,193
I'm famous
up and down this county.
941
00:59:57,276 --> 00:59:59,278
I know who I am,
and you should, too.
942
00:59:59,362 --> 01:00:00,988
Only time I knew who you was
943
01:00:01,072 --> 01:00:03,616
was when I took your yellow ass
out to the spot
944
01:00:03,741 --> 01:00:05,159
where I stood and named you.
945
01:00:05,243 --> 01:00:08,538
Well, I ain't trying to be
no beat-down African with half a foot!
946
01:00:11,332 --> 01:00:14,961
You ain't nowhere near
the man my daddy was.
947
01:00:15,044 --> 01:00:18,631
Some time I look at you,
and I see Tom Lea.
948
01:00:18,756 --> 01:00:21,801
I can't even tell you 'part.
949
01:00:21,884 --> 01:00:25,221
And it break my heart.
950
01:00:47,410 --> 01:00:48,911
It's pretty.
951
01:00:48,995 --> 01:00:51,372
Came up from Durham way?
952
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:54,959
Came from my papa.
953
01:00:55,042 --> 01:00:58,379
Came from Juffure, from Africa.
954
01:00:58,463 --> 01:01:01,299
What don't come from Africa,
according to you?
955
01:01:01,382 --> 01:01:02,675
Hey, no, no.
956
01:01:08,055 --> 01:01:11,267
I spent my life
in a cabin like this.
957
01:01:11,350 --> 01:01:13,269
And now that I'm free,
958
01:01:13,352 --> 01:01:16,189
I'd rather sleep
under the stars.
959
01:01:18,566 --> 01:01:19,817
Kizzy.
960
01:01:21,486 --> 01:01:23,404
I'm always passing
through places,
961
01:01:23,488 --> 01:01:25,823
so I find it best
to speak my mind.
962
01:01:27,617 --> 01:01:30,912
I want you to come with me.
963
01:01:30,995 --> 01:01:33,372
- What would we do?
- Go north...
964
01:01:33,456 --> 01:01:36,626
Pennsylvania, Vermont.
965
01:01:37,835 --> 01:01:39,670
I'm tired of pulling out
my papers
966
01:01:39,754 --> 01:01:42,507
every time some sheriff
gets in a mood
967
01:01:42,590 --> 01:01:44,800
or some cracker
don't like my look.
968
01:01:44,884 --> 01:01:47,053
I like your look.
969
01:01:54,852 --> 01:01:57,396
Getting free
was all my daddy ever wanted.
970
01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:01,734
- But I'd be so far from George.
- Far is free.
971
01:02:04,862 --> 01:02:06,739
Your boy has his own life now.
972
01:02:08,074 --> 01:02:10,243
It's time you loved yours.
973
01:02:12,745 --> 01:02:15,081
That's Massa Lea.
974
01:02:23,631 --> 01:02:25,383
Didn't know you were
entertaining, Kizzy.
975
01:02:25,466 --> 01:02:29,011
Now you see,
so you can go on home.
976
01:02:29,095 --> 01:02:30,888
This is my property, boy.
977
01:02:32,139 --> 01:02:34,892
I own it and everything on it.
978
01:02:34,976 --> 01:02:38,020
Then turn a profit on what you own.
I want to buy Kizzy.
979
01:02:40,064 --> 01:02:42,858
- Is that right?
- Mm-hmm.
980
01:02:42,942 --> 01:02:44,277
I'd have to reckon it.
981
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,862
Name your price...
any number.
982
01:02:46,946 --> 01:02:48,322
I can pay it.
983
01:02:49,740 --> 01:02:51,450
Ain't you a businessman?
984
01:02:54,453 --> 01:02:58,291
Well, she's almost past having babies.
That's in your favor.
985
01:02:58,374 --> 01:03:00,751
But she's strong as a woman
half her age.
986
01:03:00,835 --> 01:03:02,587
That's in my favor.
987
01:03:02,670 --> 01:03:05,172
Reads, too, by my good graces.
988
01:03:05,256 --> 01:03:07,758
Other masters wouldn't have it.
989
01:03:07,842 --> 01:03:11,512
Cooks, sews, handles the house.
990
01:03:11,596 --> 01:03:13,431
Understands a man's needs.
991
01:03:15,391 --> 01:03:17,977
- $2,000.
- You can't.
992
01:03:19,186 --> 01:03:21,022
You don't have half it.
993
01:03:21,105 --> 01:03:23,899
It's everything, but I have it.
994
01:03:23,983 --> 01:03:26,861
Make her free
to leave with me tomorrow,
995
01:03:26,944 --> 01:03:28,654
and I'll give it to you.
996
01:03:33,409 --> 01:03:35,870
I think we can come
to some kind of agreement.
997
01:04:06,609 --> 01:04:08,653
Something you need, Massa?
998
01:04:13,532 --> 01:04:15,284
Miss Patricia need something?
999
01:04:15,368 --> 01:04:19,163
She's sleeping.
Not that that matters.
1000
01:04:22,041 --> 01:04:24,210
I'm making sweet rolls
for tomorrow.
1001
01:04:24,293 --> 01:04:27,296
Ah. Tomorrow.
1002
01:04:31,634 --> 01:04:33,511
Way of saying goodbye?
1003
01:04:37,348 --> 01:04:38,766
Tell me you want to go.
1004
01:04:38,849 --> 01:04:41,143
He gonna pay you well.
1005
01:04:41,227 --> 01:04:44,980
You expect me to sell you to that nigger
bastard who looks down on me?
1006
01:04:45,064 --> 01:04:47,149
Pick that nigger over me?!
1007
01:04:47,233 --> 01:04:49,694
Over George?!
1008
01:04:49,777 --> 01:04:52,321
You have a place here
with people who love you,
1009
01:04:52,405 --> 01:04:54,824
and you just want to go
somewheres else.
1010
01:04:56,450 --> 01:04:58,202
Please!
Please, Massa! Don't.
1011
01:04:59,286 --> 01:05:03,040
You ain't never been beat.
I don't overwork you.
1012
01:05:03,124 --> 01:05:06,127
I have more right
than that free nigger!
1013
01:05:08,045 --> 01:05:10,756
You've been bragging to George
about how you gonna be leaving me.
1014
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:12,591
I ain't been bragging.
1015
01:05:12,675 --> 01:05:15,219
You just expect me
to let you go?
1016
01:05:15,302 --> 01:05:18,180
I can't go.
1017
01:05:18,264 --> 01:05:19,807
Ungrateful.
1018
01:05:19,890 --> 01:05:22,685
You think
I'm just gonna let you go?
1019
01:05:22,768 --> 01:05:24,228
I can't go.
1020
01:05:24,311 --> 01:05:25,938
Ungrateful.
1021
01:05:26,063 --> 01:05:27,565
I ain't leaving!
I ain't leaving!
1022
01:05:27,648 --> 01:05:30,359
You think I'd leave
my family here with you?
1023
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:36,031
And the time they start having babies,
I'd be a thousand miles gone.
1024
01:05:36,115 --> 01:05:40,077
And I see you still they massa?
1025
01:05:41,078 --> 01:05:43,247
I'd die every day.
1026
01:05:43,330 --> 01:05:47,334
But when George and Matilda
have children,
1027
01:05:47,418 --> 01:05:52,715
if you ever touch just one,
I'll kill you.
1028
01:05:52,798 --> 01:05:56,093
And I'll hang for it gladly.
1029
01:06:00,097 --> 01:06:01,766
Now, now, Kizzy.
1030
01:06:01,849 --> 01:06:05,394
They're gonna be
my grandchildren, too.
1031
01:06:14,403 --> 01:06:17,448
Now be quick about it.
1032
01:07:19,927 --> 01:07:24,014
If you won't come with me,
take this.
1033
01:07:24,098 --> 01:07:26,934
Day might come when you're
able to buy yourself free.
1034
01:07:27,017 --> 01:07:30,813
I can't.
1035
01:07:30,896 --> 01:07:33,274
You start a new life.
1036
01:07:33,357 --> 01:07:37,444
Keep traveling north
and find some...
1037
01:07:39,989 --> 01:07:42,908
Find somebody else.
1038
01:08:12,688 --> 01:08:14,899
My daddy would have liked you.
1039
01:08:30,247 --> 01:08:32,666
Get up, now.
1040
01:09:14,083 --> 01:09:16,502
- Give me that.
- Don't need no help.
1041
01:09:18,462 --> 01:09:21,590
You sure Massa say
I should come?
1042
01:09:21,674 --> 01:09:25,803
Long ride, lots to do.
1043
01:09:25,886 --> 01:09:27,846
Greensville County in Virginia.
1044
01:09:27,930 --> 01:09:31,850
A thousand men come for this match.
Six tents. We taking 20 birds.
1045
01:09:31,934 --> 01:09:33,185
20?
1046
01:09:33,310 --> 01:09:36,188
Told Massa he want that many,
he can't do it without Mingo.
1047
01:09:36,313 --> 01:09:38,399
Clear as day to those got eyes.
1048
01:09:38,482 --> 01:09:42,111
To watch the cages.
1049
01:09:42,194 --> 01:09:45,155
Tend the birds.
1050
01:09:45,239 --> 01:09:46,573
Oh.
1051
01:09:48,617 --> 01:09:50,077
You got my feed?
1052
01:09:58,127 --> 01:10:00,004
Just like I told you, boy.
1053
01:10:00,087 --> 01:10:02,006
Birds leave they marks
on a man.
1054
01:10:02,089 --> 01:10:05,509
But still so pretty,
women cry when I pass by.
1055
01:10:05,592 --> 01:10:08,262
You're still a slave, too.
1056
01:10:08,345 --> 01:10:09,596
That may be.
1057
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:12,433
I've been saving up.
Got me a scheme.
1058
01:10:12,516 --> 01:10:15,185
- Scheme? Uh-huh.
- Mm-hmm.
1059
01:10:15,269 --> 01:10:18,397
I'm gonna buy Matilda,
then all my babies free.
1060
01:10:18,480 --> 01:10:21,191
Man saving up money
got to pinch every penny.
1061
01:10:21,275 --> 01:10:24,194
Damn hard scheme
for the likes of you.
1062
01:10:24,278 --> 01:10:27,823
You toss away money
like you feeding it to the hens.
1063
01:10:29,491 --> 01:10:32,077
All your bragging
and carrying on,
1064
01:10:32,161 --> 01:10:35,372
I know how much time
you spend with my birds.
1065
01:10:35,456 --> 01:10:37,541
Folks say birds are stupid.
1066
01:10:37,624 --> 01:10:41,170
Birds know who they can trust,
know who love them.
1067
01:10:42,212 --> 01:10:46,592
Folks is mostly fools
when it come to knowing that.
1068
01:10:46,675 --> 01:10:51,263
Birds know a man by his touch,
by the sweat.
1069
01:10:58,062 --> 01:11:00,647
You a better bird man than me.
1070
01:11:03,192 --> 01:11:06,070
Only 'cause I had the best damn
teacher in Carolina.
1071
01:11:08,030 --> 01:11:10,240
You damn right you did.
1072
01:11:18,999 --> 01:11:21,627
Hyah! Hyah!
1073
01:11:21,710 --> 01:11:23,629
The Prophet's coming!
1074
01:11:23,712 --> 01:11:25,255
The Prophet's coming!
1075
01:11:25,339 --> 01:11:27,174
He's on his way!
1076
01:11:27,257 --> 01:11:29,551
River of blood is what's
speeding him on his way!
1077
01:11:29,635 --> 01:11:30,886
Whoa, you! Hup!
1078
01:11:30,969 --> 01:11:32,971
Got plenty of ammunition.
1079
01:11:35,599 --> 01:11:37,059
Everybody carrying guns.
1080
01:11:37,142 --> 01:11:38,685
Damn.
What the hell is this?
1081
01:11:38,769 --> 01:11:40,395
Where's everybody going?
1082
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:42,680
Never heard of canceling
no match, rain or shine, Massa.
1083
01:11:45,567 --> 01:11:47,111
I don't think we should stay,
Massa.
1084
01:11:47,194 --> 01:11:48,695
We just drove four days
to Virginia.
1085
01:11:48,779 --> 01:11:50,072
Pretty penny
out of pocket, too.
1086
01:11:50,155 --> 01:11:52,908
I need an explanation, or someone's gonna
pay me for my trouble.
1087
01:11:52,991 --> 01:11:55,369
Savages!
That's all they are, is savages!
1088
01:11:55,452 --> 01:11:56,787
What's going on here?
1089
01:11:56,870 --> 01:11:58,956
Nigger from Sam Turner's farm
named Nat
1090
01:11:59,039 --> 01:12:00,999
running loose
with hundreds of other niggers.
1091
01:12:01,083 --> 01:12:02,334
I hear thousands.
1092
01:12:02,459 --> 01:12:05,504
Killing men, women, children,
any white folks they come upon.
1093
01:12:05,587 --> 01:12:07,923
Whole families dead.
1094
01:12:08,006 --> 01:12:12,219
Babies in their beds,
using axes, swords, clubs.
1095
01:12:12,302 --> 01:12:14,805
They beat Margaret Whitehead
to death with a fence post.
1096
01:12:14,888 --> 01:12:17,391
Reading the Bible
over their bloody bodies,
1097
01:12:17,474 --> 01:12:19,810
calling himself the Prophet.
1098
01:12:19,893 --> 01:12:22,104
He ain't just killing.
He's a cannibal.
1099
01:12:22,187 --> 01:12:25,566
Burning up little babies,
serving them to his gang to eat.
1100
01:12:25,649 --> 01:12:26,900
Why ain't nobody find him yet?
1101
01:12:26,984 --> 01:12:28,944
Other slaves hiding
these killers on farms,
1102
01:12:29,027 --> 01:12:31,822
in barns, cabins...
right under our noses.
1103
01:12:31,905 --> 01:12:34,658
I'm warning you boys...
murder's spreading everywhere!
1104
01:12:34,741 --> 01:12:37,911
I'm six days from home,
and I got five little ones.
1105
01:12:39,705 --> 01:12:43,458
God! I'll kill any nigger
that gets in my way!
1106
01:12:45,502 --> 01:12:47,296
Hey!
What y'all doing?
1107
01:12:47,379 --> 01:12:49,548
Don't hurt my birds.
Don't hurt my birds.
1108
01:12:49,631 --> 01:12:51,884
You got any guns and knives
in this wagon?
1109
01:12:53,635 --> 01:12:55,304
Get away
from Massa Lea's birds.
1110
01:12:55,387 --> 01:12:57,431
Mingo! Mingo!
1111
01:12:57,514 --> 01:12:58,682
Hey, boy!
1112
01:12:58,765 --> 01:13:00,184
No, please!
Please, Massa!
1113
01:13:00,267 --> 01:13:01,393
Please!
1114
01:13:01,518 --> 01:13:04,438
He a good ol' boy.
Good ol' boy, no problem.
1115
01:13:04,521 --> 01:13:06,523
- We with Massa Tom...
- Hey!
1116
01:13:09,234 --> 01:13:10,611
These yours?
1117
01:13:10,694 --> 01:13:12,196
Yeah.
1118
01:13:13,655 --> 01:13:16,450
You vouch for them?
1119
01:13:16,533 --> 01:13:18,660
Came with me to fight birds.
1120
01:13:18,744 --> 01:13:22,748
Can't find
that devil's Prophet.
1121
01:13:22,831 --> 01:13:24,791
Niggers.
1122
01:13:24,875 --> 01:13:28,587
Hiding guns and knives
any place they can.
1123
01:13:28,670 --> 01:13:31,131
I don't care how long you own
them sons of bitches.
1124
01:13:31,215 --> 01:13:33,467
I wouldn't trust no one.
1125
01:13:39,181 --> 01:13:42,559
We need a doctor
for Mingo, Massa.
1126
01:13:46,688 --> 01:13:49,149
We need to go home now.
Patricia's by herself.
1127
01:13:49,233 --> 01:13:51,360
Mama there for Miss Patricia.
She be fine.
1128
01:13:51,443 --> 01:13:53,570
You take us home. Now!
1129
01:13:53,654 --> 01:13:55,864
Yes, Massa.
Yes, Massa.
1130
01:13:55,948 --> 01:13:57,908
Now, come on.
I got you.
1131
01:13:57,991 --> 01:14:00,494
You strong.
You fine, you hear me?
1132
01:14:00,577 --> 01:14:02,329
You fine!
1133
01:14:02,412 --> 01:14:03,705
Hurry up, George!
1134
01:14:03,789 --> 01:14:05,582
Yes, Massa.
1135
01:14:05,666 --> 01:14:08,043
Come on, let's go!
1136
01:14:08,126 --> 01:14:10,045
That nigger Turner's
the devil on earth.
1137
01:14:11,046 --> 01:14:14,258
Mingo's hurt real bad, Massa. We've been
riding like this for three days.
1138
01:14:14,341 --> 01:14:16,260
You'd never think of rising up
with no slaves
1139
01:14:16,343 --> 01:14:18,136
against me and Tricia,
would you, George?
1140
01:14:18,220 --> 01:14:20,264
No, Massa.
You know me.
1141
01:14:20,347 --> 01:14:23,183
We got to find a doctor
somewhere.
1142
01:14:23,267 --> 01:14:27,145
'Cause if you did, George,
I'd blow your goddamn head off.
1143
01:14:28,897 --> 01:14:30,190
Stop the wagon.
1144
01:14:30,274 --> 01:14:33,860
- Ho! Ho!
- Hold up now. Hold up.
1145
01:14:33,944 --> 01:14:37,072
- Where y'all coming from?
- Southampton.
1146
01:14:37,155 --> 01:14:39,133
Trying to get home before
the Prophet reaches my farm.
1147
01:14:39,157 --> 01:14:40,969
We got every man with a gun
out looking for him.
1148
01:14:40,993 --> 01:14:42,244
Uh-huh.
1149
01:14:44,621 --> 01:14:45,831
This your boy?
1150
01:14:47,541 --> 01:14:48,792
Yes, sir.
1151
01:14:48,875 --> 01:14:52,462
Well, you a damn fool if you
ain't got him tied up good.
1152
01:14:52,546 --> 01:14:54,089
That Nat Turner's a fever.
1153
01:14:54,172 --> 01:14:56,216
You never know which nigger's
gonna catch it.
1154
01:15:05,934 --> 01:15:07,519
Massa, what you doing?
1155
01:15:10,439 --> 01:15:12,649
Chain yourself
to the wagon, George.
1156
01:15:14,568 --> 01:15:16,403
Massa, it's me.
1157
01:15:16,486 --> 01:15:17,779
It's George.
You trust me.
1158
01:15:17,863 --> 01:15:20,657
Do it, George,
or I will shoot you.
1159
01:15:20,741 --> 01:15:22,951
Go on!
1160
01:15:46,141 --> 01:15:47,517
Let 'em through.
1161
01:15:51,146 --> 01:15:53,190
You've known me
since I was a child.
1162
01:15:53,273 --> 01:15:54,900
I can trust a child.
1163
01:15:54,983 --> 01:15:57,361
It's when y'all get growed
is when you get ideas.
1164
01:15:57,444 --> 01:15:59,905
God help you if anything's
happened to Tricia.
1165
01:15:59,988 --> 01:16:01,698
Hyah!
1166
01:16:03,575 --> 01:16:05,577
Hyah!
1167
01:16:08,330 --> 01:16:09,581
Hyah!
1168
01:16:12,084 --> 01:16:13,418
Hyah!
1169
01:16:13,502 --> 01:16:15,545
Ho!
1170
01:16:19,716 --> 01:16:21,426
What have you niggers done
to my farm?
1171
01:16:23,845 --> 01:16:25,097
Tricia!
1172
01:16:26,515 --> 01:16:29,267
Don't you move, boy!
Stay in that wagon!
1173
01:16:29,351 --> 01:16:30,936
Tricia!
1174
01:16:31,019 --> 01:16:32,479
- Tom!
- Tom!
1175
01:16:32,562 --> 01:16:34,856
I come to make sure
Miss Patricia's all right.
1176
01:16:38,026 --> 01:16:40,737
Dirty nigger.
Dirty bastards!
1177
01:16:42,406 --> 01:16:43,698
Get inside, Tricia.
1178
01:16:43,782 --> 01:16:45,700
Now! Go on!
1179
01:16:45,784 --> 01:16:48,370
Five militiamen came
over here looking for slaves.
1180
01:16:48,453 --> 01:16:50,580
They set the cabins on fire.
1181
01:16:50,664 --> 01:16:53,500
Thank God you're back.
I was so scared.
1182
01:16:57,754 --> 01:16:59,589
Reverend Lyon,
what the hell you doing here?
1183
01:16:59,673 --> 01:17:01,216
This ain't no place
to be right now.
1184
01:17:01,299 --> 01:17:03,301
Heard some riders
was heading for the Lea farm,
1185
01:17:03,385 --> 01:17:05,554
so I come over to check
on Matilda and the family.
1186
01:17:05,637 --> 01:17:08,557
But them white boys came up
on... on the cabins so fast.
1187
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:10,308
I had to hide.
1188
01:17:10,392 --> 01:17:13,270
They burned down
everything they could.
1189
01:17:15,355 --> 01:17:18,733
I don't know
where Kizzy and Tilda are.
1190
01:17:18,817 --> 01:17:22,195
Guess I talk a lot,
but I can't help nobody.
1191
01:17:22,279 --> 01:17:24,114
Look at me, look at me.
1192
01:17:24,197 --> 01:17:26,658
Get me that ax.
Get me that ax.
1193
01:17:30,912 --> 01:17:32,164
Get the wood.
1194
01:17:38,837 --> 01:17:40,338
Gonna find Mama and Matilda.
1195
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:42,591
I need to find my children,
but I'll be back.
1196
01:17:42,674 --> 01:17:45,093
You can watch Mingo
till I can find help, all right?
1197
01:17:45,177 --> 01:17:47,179
- I'll stay with him.
- All right.
1198
01:17:50,348 --> 01:17:52,142
Promise me you'll hold on,
all right?
1199
01:17:52,225 --> 01:17:53,685
You strong like nobody else.
1200
01:17:53,810 --> 01:17:57,189
Watch out for Massa Tom.
1201
01:17:57,272 --> 01:18:00,817
He ain't never gonna see you
for who you truly is.
1202
01:18:01,818 --> 01:18:04,404
Hold on.
I'll be back.
1203
01:18:07,824 --> 01:18:10,535
Take my secret feed.
1204
01:18:10,619 --> 01:18:14,831
I got something for you...
for your scheme.
1205
01:18:17,167 --> 01:18:19,669
All right.
All right.
1206
01:18:30,764 --> 01:18:32,224
I see you, George!
1207
01:18:32,307 --> 01:18:34,392
You ain't gonna slit my throat
while I sleep!
1208
01:18:34,476 --> 01:18:35,810
I see you!
1209
01:18:35,894 --> 01:18:38,230
Tilda!
1210
01:18:41,608 --> 01:18:43,527
Tilda!
1211
01:18:43,610 --> 01:18:45,111
Matilda, it's me!
1212
01:18:50,408 --> 01:18:52,285
Matilda, it's me!
1213
01:19:01,044 --> 01:19:02,295
Tilda!
1214
01:19:04,381 --> 01:19:05,882
Mama?
1215
01:19:05,966 --> 01:19:08,552
Matilda!
1216
01:19:08,635 --> 01:19:10,637
Mama!
1217
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:13,473
Matilda, it's me, George!
1218
01:19:28,697 --> 01:19:30,865
Oh, George.
1219
01:19:30,949 --> 01:19:35,579
I thought you was dead.
1220
01:19:44,045 --> 01:19:45,338
Come see the babies.
1221
01:19:52,220 --> 01:19:55,765
Matilda was scared to death
she was never gonna see you again.
1222
01:19:55,849 --> 01:19:58,560
- Sister Sarah.
- George! Oh, child!
1223
01:19:58,643 --> 01:20:00,604
- Thank God.
- Oh, God.
1224
01:20:00,687 --> 01:20:03,898
Glad to see you.
Thank God!
1225
01:20:03,982 --> 01:20:07,694
Tilda, come on out.
1226
01:20:07,777 --> 01:20:09,946
Come on.
1227
01:20:10,947 --> 01:20:12,032
George.
1228
01:20:12,115 --> 01:20:13,700
- George! George!
- Tilda!
1229
01:20:15,118 --> 01:20:16,661
George.
1230
01:20:16,745 --> 01:20:18,705
Oh, George.
1231
01:20:21,958 --> 01:20:24,252
Your mama the only reason
we're alive.
1232
01:20:24,336 --> 01:20:27,213
She brought us out here,
been catching food for us, too.
1233
01:20:27,297 --> 01:20:30,300
Cabins was on fire.
I didn't know what happened to you.
1234
01:20:30,383 --> 01:20:32,093
We heard them
coming in the night.
1235
01:20:32,177 --> 01:20:34,471
Me and Mama Kizzy went
to Miss Patricia with the babies,
1236
01:20:34,554 --> 01:20:38,016
but she had locked everything up,
and we couldn't get in.
1237
01:20:38,099 --> 01:20:40,852
Then the militiamen showed up,
1238
01:20:40,977 --> 01:20:42,937
set fire everywhere.
1239
01:20:43,021 --> 01:20:47,025
Screaming about some man
named Turner and an uprising.
1240
01:20:47,108 --> 01:20:49,486
They was hunting us, George.
1241
01:20:49,569 --> 01:20:52,322
We barely made it
out here to the woods.
1242
01:20:52,405 --> 01:20:54,908
It's all right now.
It's all right now.
1243
01:20:54,991 --> 01:20:57,285
Where my babies?
1244
01:20:59,579 --> 01:21:01,498
It's all right.
It's all right.
1245
01:21:01,581 --> 01:21:03,249
I'm home now.
1246
01:21:19,307 --> 01:21:21,226
He's gone.
1247
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:26,856
Never did talk about hisself.
1248
01:21:26,940 --> 01:21:29,067
Just talked about them birds.
1249
01:21:30,860 --> 01:21:33,071
I don't even know
where he was born.
1250
01:21:33,154 --> 01:21:35,240
I don't know if he had
one damn person cry for him!
1251
01:21:35,323 --> 01:21:36,741
He had you.
1252
01:21:36,825 --> 01:21:39,536
He had you.
1253
01:21:39,619 --> 01:21:40,870
He had you.
1254
01:21:40,954 --> 01:21:43,248
Let me go.
1255
01:21:47,043 --> 01:21:48,670
You need to be
with Matilda now.
1256
01:21:48,753 --> 01:21:50,004
Son of a bitch!
1257
01:21:50,088 --> 01:21:52,048
Too goddamn good
to come down here.
1258
01:21:52,132 --> 01:21:54,092
Mingo worked his life away
for him.
1259
01:21:54,175 --> 01:21:56,511
That's what that bastard
want for all of them...
1260
01:21:56,594 --> 01:21:58,972
- just work till we dead.
- George, no.
1261
01:21:59,055 --> 01:22:01,266
You gonna kill Massa Tom?
1262
01:22:01,349 --> 01:22:03,226
That gonna make
anything better for us?
1263
01:22:03,309 --> 01:22:05,538
You think I've been ignorant
about that man my whole life?
1264
01:22:05,562 --> 01:22:07,689
Look at me!
1265
01:22:07,772 --> 01:22:10,233
You think I don't know
I'm his son?
1266
01:22:10,316 --> 01:22:12,610
I've been drowning
that truth in my head
1267
01:22:12,694 --> 01:22:15,447
'cause I want so bad for us
to be away from him.
1268
01:22:15,530 --> 01:22:18,867
And I... ain't never gonna be that.
1269
01:22:18,950 --> 01:22:20,660
We're all gonna be like Mingo.
1270
01:22:20,744 --> 01:22:22,495
And I've been waiting
for the right moment
1271
01:22:22,579 --> 01:22:25,707
to give him everything he gave us,
and right now I'm gonna kill him.
1272
01:22:25,790 --> 01:22:27,041
No, you can't kill him.
1273
01:22:27,125 --> 01:22:30,128
'Cause then they gonna kill you,
and that would rip me apart.
1274
01:22:30,211 --> 01:22:33,590
All I know is how to make
all this livable.
1275
01:22:33,673 --> 01:22:35,633
And I can't do that no more.
1276
01:22:38,094 --> 01:22:41,639
I almost took my life
when you was born.
1277
01:22:41,723 --> 01:22:43,475
And yours, too.
1278
01:22:44,768 --> 01:22:47,854
For a while, I didn't know
how to feel nothing.
1279
01:22:47,937 --> 01:22:51,149
Nothing but shame and sorrow.
1280
01:22:51,232 --> 01:22:54,402
And so far away
from my mama and daddy,
1281
01:22:54,486 --> 01:22:56,863
but it would have been
a terrible sin
1282
01:22:56,946 --> 01:22:59,365
against everything
my daddy taught me.
1283
01:22:59,449 --> 01:23:05,121
It seemed like I could hear
his voice right here... stopping me.
1284
01:23:06,456 --> 01:23:12,086
He came to me,
and I decided to live.
1285
01:23:12,170 --> 01:23:14,589
You a fine man, George.
1286
01:23:15,632 --> 01:23:17,717
And I ain't told you enough.
1287
01:23:17,801 --> 01:23:23,181
Maybe I was scared you got
too much of Massa's blood.
1288
01:23:23,264 --> 01:23:26,643
But you have honored my father.
1289
01:23:26,726 --> 01:23:31,940
You here to keep
this family going, to survive.
1290
01:23:32,023 --> 01:23:36,027
He always said we fight
when we need,
1291
01:23:36,152 --> 01:23:39,113
but first, we got to survive.
1292
01:23:39,197 --> 01:23:44,494
Tom Lea whole life
gonna be a waste.
1293
01:23:44,577 --> 01:23:46,663
But not yours.
1294
01:23:46,746 --> 01:23:49,791
What keeps me living.
1295
01:23:49,874 --> 01:23:51,668
I love you.
1296
01:23:51,751 --> 01:23:54,212
I love you too much.
1297
01:23:54,295 --> 01:23:57,215
Stay with me.
1298
01:23:57,298 --> 01:23:59,175
Please.
1299
01:23:59,259 --> 01:24:02,095
Live.
1300
01:24:30,039 --> 01:24:33,668
Oh, uh, Mingo wanted you to have
this bucket with his secret feed in it.
1301
01:24:33,751 --> 01:24:36,421
- Hey, that's too heavy for you.
- Oh, shit.
1302
01:25:32,393 --> 01:25:34,854
George, you and Matilda
got two girls and two boys,
1303
01:25:34,938 --> 01:25:36,564
and ain't none of them
named Tom yet.
1304
01:25:36,648 --> 01:25:38,149
I ain't giving them
that man's name.
1305
01:25:38,274 --> 01:25:40,443
- Mama, you said...
- I know what I said,
1306
01:25:40,526 --> 01:25:43,112
and I knew what he'd do
if you don't name that boy Tom.
1307
01:25:43,196 --> 01:25:46,199
He'll ride him
the rest of his living days.
1308
01:25:46,282 --> 01:25:47,867
Do it, George.
1309
01:25:49,869 --> 01:25:52,246
Name him Tom.
1310
01:25:52,330 --> 01:25:53,873
Tilda.
1311
01:25:53,957 --> 01:25:55,917
Mourning dove,
you need to rest.
1312
01:25:56,000 --> 01:26:00,380
And I want you to name him the way
Mama Kizzy says her daddy taught her,
1313
01:26:00,463 --> 01:26:03,174
the way Kunta Kinte
would do it.
1314
01:26:03,299 --> 01:26:07,387
I know I didn't pay it no mind
with all our other babies.
1315
01:26:07,470 --> 01:26:10,390
It ain't the way
my daddy taught me.
1316
01:26:10,473 --> 01:26:15,478
But I heard Mama Kizzy telling
the stories to the boys one night.
1317
01:26:15,561 --> 01:26:19,565
Something passed through me,
George.
1318
01:26:19,649 --> 01:26:22,568
I don't see how both ways...
1319
01:26:22,652 --> 01:26:25,321
mine and Mama Kizzy's...
can't be true.
1320
01:26:26,322 --> 01:26:30,743
And I believe it will protect
this baby and all of us.
1321
01:26:34,956 --> 01:26:38,209
I don't know how.
1322
01:26:42,547 --> 01:26:44,632
Moving too fast for me, Mama.
1323
01:26:44,716 --> 01:26:46,968
I ain't hardly trying, George.
1324
01:26:47,051 --> 01:26:50,596
Like I say,
them birds a soft kind of work.
1325
01:26:55,768 --> 01:26:57,478
Here.
1326
01:27:02,900 --> 01:27:04,986
How you know
it's the right spot?
1327
01:27:05,069 --> 01:27:07,030
I know.
1328
01:27:16,247 --> 01:27:17,623
Look up, little one.
1329
01:27:20,418 --> 01:27:23,671
That's the only thing
greater than yourself.
1330
01:27:41,022 --> 01:27:42,940
Gonna be more money
1331
01:27:43,024 --> 01:27:44,984
at that Charleston jamboree
than we ever seen,
1332
01:27:45,068 --> 01:27:46,944
and I am gonna win it.
1333
01:27:47,028 --> 01:27:50,031
And turn it to ash in a bonfire
of foolishness,
1334
01:27:50,114 --> 01:27:51,491
the way you always do.
1335
01:27:52,867 --> 01:27:55,328
Matilda.
After George leaves,
1336
01:27:55,411 --> 01:27:57,091
get the children weaving
new grain baskets.
1337
01:27:57,121 --> 01:27:59,123
Ashford and George Jr.
can start clearing out
1338
01:27:59,207 --> 01:28:01,501
- that stand of walnut trees.
- Yes, ma'am.
1339
01:28:03,586 --> 01:28:05,046
How we looking, George?
1340
01:28:05,129 --> 01:28:07,465
We got 10 strong killers,
1341
01:28:07,548 --> 01:28:08,909
five young stags hungry for blood.
1342
01:28:08,925 --> 01:28:12,804
I say we be fine,
long as you listen to me.
1343
01:28:12,887 --> 01:28:15,473
Can't ever talk to me
like that, George.
1344
01:28:15,556 --> 01:28:16,849
Goddamn.
1345
01:28:16,933 --> 01:28:18,768
I swear I'll sell your ass
in New Orleans.
1346
01:28:18,851 --> 01:28:22,146
And fight your own birds.
1347
01:28:22,230 --> 01:28:23,648
Look, George,
1348
01:28:23,731 --> 01:28:29,153
there's more money to be won in that
Charleston jamboree than we ever seen,
1349
01:28:29,237 --> 01:28:30,530
and we got to win big.
1350
01:28:30,613 --> 01:28:33,116
That's what we'll do.
1351
01:28:33,199 --> 01:28:37,161
George, you and me
used to be best friends.
1352
01:28:37,245 --> 01:28:39,247
Ever since Mingo died,
1353
01:28:39,330 --> 01:28:42,625
I can barely get a word out of you.
1354
01:28:44,460 --> 01:28:46,100
It's a long road to Charleston,
Massa Tom.
1355
01:28:49,674 --> 01:28:52,385
I'm gonna go help our boys
in the field.
1356
01:28:52,468 --> 01:28:56,472
I'll bring back gifts
for everybody, my mourning dove.
1357
01:28:56,556 --> 01:28:59,600
Just bring yourself home safe.
1358
01:29:07,942 --> 01:29:10,194
Hey, hey, hey.
1359
01:29:10,278 --> 01:29:12,446
You ain't never been gone
this long before, George.
1360
01:29:12,530 --> 01:29:16,659
Well, got you
to watch over everybody.
1361
01:29:16,742 --> 01:29:18,369
Ain't got no worries.
1362
01:29:21,497 --> 01:29:24,041
And my daddy
gonna watch over you.
1363
01:29:24,125 --> 01:29:26,252
Charleston's a long ways away.
1364
01:29:32,049 --> 01:29:34,719
Yes, Mama.
1365
01:29:45,271 --> 01:29:46,522
Hyah!
1366
01:30:10,546 --> 01:30:14,133
George. There's more money here
than I ever thought could be.
1367
01:30:14,217 --> 01:30:15,468
Where we going, Massa?
1368
01:30:17,762 --> 01:30:19,972
Here he is, Jewett.
1369
01:30:20,056 --> 01:30:22,099
Oh, Chicken George.
1370
01:30:22,183 --> 01:30:26,979
Meet my cousin from Hampshire,
Sir C. Eric Russell.
1371
01:30:28,064 --> 01:30:30,441
Jewett tells me
you're a sovereign of avifauna.
1372
01:30:30,566 --> 01:30:32,711
I look forward to testing
your prowess against my birds.
1373
01:30:32,735 --> 01:30:34,487
Thank you, sir.
1374
01:30:34,570 --> 01:30:37,365
Tom Lea and I have wanted
to settle once and for all
1375
01:30:37,448 --> 01:30:39,617
who's best in our noble sport.
1376
01:30:39,700 --> 01:30:42,161
But it's gonna cost you
to find out.
1377
01:30:42,245 --> 01:30:46,457
Mr. Lea, while I understand
your confidence about a bird or two,
1378
01:30:46,582 --> 01:30:49,085
I did not get wealthy
by betting small.
1379
01:30:49,168 --> 01:30:51,921
A man who bets
a mere thousand here or there
1380
01:30:52,004 --> 01:30:55,174
is a man who won't risk enough
to take what he wants.
1381
01:30:55,258 --> 01:30:58,344
Or perhaps Chicken George
is only a small-time fighter.
1382
01:30:58,427 --> 01:31:01,931
Oh, you ain't never seen
a fighter like me before... sir.
1383
01:31:02,014 --> 01:31:03,432
$10,000.
1384
01:31:05,101 --> 01:31:06,602
Plus side bets.
1385
01:31:12,108 --> 01:31:14,735
Accepted.
1386
01:31:14,819 --> 01:31:16,654
$10,000 it is.
1387
01:31:16,737 --> 01:31:20,866
And, boys,
I'll be open to all offers.
1388
01:31:26,789 --> 01:31:28,457
Gentlemen.
1389
01:31:32,795 --> 01:31:35,256
- Feel good about the birds?
- Best I ever felt.
1390
01:31:35,339 --> 01:31:37,300
Today's the day, George.
1391
01:31:37,383 --> 01:31:39,444
I'm gonna rise up above every man
who ever looked down on me.
1392
01:31:39,468 --> 01:31:42,513
$10,000?
Massa, you ain't got that much.
1393
01:31:42,638 --> 01:31:44,718
Don't matter how much
I got if we win, do it, George?
1394
01:31:44,765 --> 01:31:47,643
- Besides, my farm's worth half that much.
- No.
1395
01:31:48,853 --> 01:31:50,813
Can't bet our home.
1396
01:31:50,896 --> 01:31:53,232
Not where my family live.
1397
01:31:59,155 --> 01:32:02,658
You win this for me,
and I'll set you free.
1398
01:32:03,659 --> 01:32:06,370
I swear.
1399
01:32:06,454 --> 01:32:07,872
Write it.
1400
01:32:07,955 --> 01:32:11,584
Write that paper, right here.
1401
01:32:11,667 --> 01:32:14,295
Be waiting for you
when you're done.
1402
01:32:16,797 --> 01:32:21,552
This ain't no dream, George.
Wide awake as I ever been.
1403
01:32:21,677 --> 01:32:26,098
We're gonna be rich,
just like I said.
1404
01:32:33,272 --> 01:32:35,149
Who that Englishman
think he is?
1405
01:32:35,232 --> 01:32:37,485
How dare he fight us?
1406
01:32:38,486 --> 01:32:42,323
We faster, smarter,
stronger, prettier.
1407
01:32:42,406 --> 01:32:45,493
Insult to be in the same pit
with you and me.
1408
01:32:45,576 --> 01:32:47,870
Come on now, you little bastard.
1409
01:32:47,953 --> 01:32:50,790
I gave you blood and sweat.
1410
01:32:50,873 --> 01:32:53,793
Make George a free man today.
1411
01:32:58,714 --> 01:33:00,007
George.
1412
01:33:07,139 --> 01:33:08,682
Oyez! Oyez!
1413
01:33:08,766 --> 01:33:12,019
Our final pair
of the Charleston Main!
1414
01:33:12,103 --> 01:33:14,021
A heavy match of birds.
1415
01:33:14,105 --> 01:33:15,981
Six pounds four,
1416
01:33:16,065 --> 01:33:20,444
Sir C. Eric Russell
of Hampshire, England.
1417
01:33:20,528 --> 01:33:24,657
And Tom Lea of Caswell County,
North Carolina.
1418
01:33:26,909 --> 01:33:31,914
Gentlemen, face your birds!
1419
01:33:31,997 --> 01:33:33,666
Come on now, George!
1420
01:33:41,090 --> 01:33:42,341
Rile 'em up.
1421
01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:46,595
Step out.
1422
01:33:51,100 --> 01:33:54,645
- Ready!
- Come on now, George.
1423
01:33:56,814 --> 01:33:58,190
Pit your cocks!
1424
01:34:03,237 --> 01:34:04,488
- Kill him!
- Fight him!
1425
01:34:07,950 --> 01:34:09,201
Come on now!
1426
01:34:09,285 --> 01:34:11,454
Come down on him!
1427
01:34:13,914 --> 01:34:15,166
Come on, George.
1428
01:34:21,547 --> 01:34:22,965
Come on!
Get him, boy!
1429
01:34:31,807 --> 01:34:33,434
Come on now, Red!
Come on, Red!
1430
01:34:40,733 --> 01:34:42,169
The match goes to Tom Lea!
1431
01:34:42,193 --> 01:34:43,194
Yes!
1432
01:34:43,277 --> 01:34:45,321
Yeah!
1433
01:34:45,404 --> 01:34:47,156
Whoo!
1434
01:34:47,239 --> 01:34:49,992
Yeah, boys!
1435
01:35:03,088 --> 01:35:04,423
Thanks, boys.
1436
01:35:36,372 --> 01:35:38,374
I'm free.
1437
01:35:43,796 --> 01:35:45,047
I'm free!
1438
01:35:47,508 --> 01:35:50,594
I'm free!
1439
01:35:57,101 --> 01:35:58,727
Now you can get the cock out.
1440
01:36:07,945 --> 01:36:10,489
Come on. Get in it.
Get in, boys.
1441
01:36:10,573 --> 01:36:11,991
Glad y'all made money.
1442
01:36:14,493 --> 01:36:17,079
I know you can read it, George.
1443
01:36:17,162 --> 01:36:19,873
Know Kizzy been teaching you.
1444
01:36:19,957 --> 01:36:22,084
It looks fine.
1445
01:36:22,167 --> 01:36:24,086
It look real fine.
1446
01:36:24,169 --> 01:36:26,297
Your man has a rare skill.
1447
01:36:28,549 --> 01:36:29,925
Plain to see.
1448
01:36:30,009 --> 01:36:32,011
And yet, why do I feel
like a marionette,
1449
01:36:32,094 --> 01:36:34,888
my strings pulled
by a clever manipulator?
1450
01:36:34,972 --> 01:36:36,807
Did you set me up,
Mr. Lea?
1451
01:36:36,932 --> 01:36:39,852
You challenged me.
1452
01:36:39,935 --> 01:36:44,273
I had the courage to take it,
and I had the man to win it.
1453
01:36:44,356 --> 01:36:45,608
Then I assume your courage
1454
01:36:45,691 --> 01:36:48,444
will permit me an opportunity
to recoup my losses,
1455
01:36:48,527 --> 01:36:49,903
penny for penny.
1456
01:36:49,987 --> 01:36:52,573
Well, even an Irishman
understands fair play.
1457
01:36:52,656 --> 01:36:55,159
Sir Eric is willing to wager
another $10,000.
1458
01:36:59,538 --> 01:37:01,957
Can your damn English cousin
handle $20,000?
1459
01:37:07,087 --> 01:37:08,881
I relish the opportunity.
1460
01:37:08,964 --> 01:37:11,175
Done.
1461
01:37:15,179 --> 01:37:17,014
Come with me, cousin.
1462
01:37:17,097 --> 01:37:20,059
I have something
I want to show you.
1463
01:37:20,142 --> 01:37:22,186
Here you are, sir.
1464
01:37:24,521 --> 01:37:27,066
His line has fought for kings.
1465
01:37:27,149 --> 01:37:29,485
He'll have no trouble
with an Irishman and a nigger.
1466
01:37:40,037 --> 01:37:42,456
My money's on you.
My money's on you.
1467
01:37:42,539 --> 01:37:43,874
You can do it.
Do it, George.
1468
01:37:43,999 --> 01:37:45,542
Come on, clear the ring!
1469
01:37:57,554 --> 01:38:01,016
- Look at the size of that!
- That's a big cock.
1470
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:05,354
Look at the bird.
He's looking well.
1471
01:38:08,440 --> 01:38:10,442
Oyez! Oyez!
1472
01:38:10,526 --> 01:38:12,653
A private hack between Tom Lea
1473
01:38:12,736 --> 01:38:15,406
of Caswell County,
North Carolina...
1474
01:38:17,449 --> 01:38:20,828
...and Sir C. Eric Russell
of Hampshire, England.
1475
01:38:22,830 --> 01:38:25,374
Gentlemen, face your birds!
1476
01:38:30,963 --> 01:38:32,214
That's it, George.
1477
01:38:32,297 --> 01:38:34,591
Step out!
1478
01:38:34,675 --> 01:38:37,886
Oh, he smells blood,
Chicken George! I know it!
1479
01:38:37,970 --> 01:38:40,556
Let's go, Chicken George!
1480
01:38:40,639 --> 01:38:42,641
Gentlemen...
1481
01:38:44,727 --> 01:38:46,103
pit your cocks!
1482
01:38:46,186 --> 01:38:49,148
Come on!
Come on, now!
1483
01:38:59,074 --> 01:39:00,409
Damn it!
1484
01:39:03,203 --> 01:39:05,664
That's it! That's it!
Just like that!
1485
01:39:05,748 --> 01:39:07,124
Come on, boy!
1486
01:39:07,207 --> 01:39:10,419
Down! Down! Down!
Come down hard on him!
1487
01:39:19,094 --> 01:39:20,971
Come on, George!
1488
01:39:21,096 --> 01:39:22,306
Come on!
1489
01:39:23,932 --> 01:39:25,184
Come on.
1490
01:39:29,146 --> 01:39:30,397
Shit!
1491
01:39:35,110 --> 01:39:36,528
Finish him!
1492
01:39:43,786 --> 01:39:46,747
Match to Sir C. Eric Russell!
1493
01:40:26,495 --> 01:40:27,746
George.
1494
01:40:29,540 --> 01:40:32,042
I don't know what happened.
We need to set up another fight.
1495
01:40:32,167 --> 01:40:36,505
They gamed us, George,
like fish at the end of a line.
1496
01:40:36,588 --> 01:40:40,175
I lost everything...
1497
01:40:40,259 --> 01:40:42,803
every penny.
1498
01:40:42,886 --> 01:40:48,308
Look, George, the farm
ain't gonna cover my bets.
1499
01:40:48,392 --> 01:40:52,229
Ain't even gonna cover
what I borrowed against it.
1500
01:40:52,312 --> 01:40:53,856
I'm ruined,
1501
01:40:53,939 --> 01:40:58,277
but that English bastard's
offering me a way out.
1502
01:40:59,695 --> 01:41:02,364
Said he never saw a man with
a touch for the birds like you.
1503
01:41:02,447 --> 01:41:05,909
Said you was a magician.
Used that very word.
1504
01:41:05,993 --> 01:41:08,036
What you saying?
1505
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:11,999
Not to drag it out,
1506
01:41:12,082 --> 01:41:14,585
that Englishman will call me
even if I give you to him...
1507
01:41:14,668 --> 01:41:16,420
take back to England.
1508
01:41:16,503 --> 01:41:18,463
- England?!
- Mm-hmm.
1509
01:41:18,547 --> 01:41:20,841
Now you ain't making no sense.
1510
01:41:20,924 --> 01:41:23,176
Train his birds
and his handlers.
1511
01:41:23,260 --> 01:41:26,054
I don't understand
the hell you saying to me.
1512
01:41:26,138 --> 01:41:28,265
I'm free!
That's what we agreed.
1513
01:41:28,348 --> 01:41:30,017
Money was in my hand, George.
1514
01:41:30,100 --> 01:41:32,561
What's worse than being rich
for one day?
1515
01:41:32,644 --> 01:41:34,479
You can't tell me
to leave my family!
1516
01:41:34,563 --> 01:41:36,732
I ain't going nowhere for you,
you understand me?!
1517
01:41:36,815 --> 01:41:40,611
I'm sorry, George.
I ain't got no other way to survive.
1518
01:41:40,694 --> 01:41:42,529
The time will pass
like a summer squall.
1519
01:41:42,613 --> 01:41:45,490
No, you bastard.
I am a free man.
1520
01:41:45,574 --> 01:41:47,993
You ain't free, George.
1521
01:41:48,076 --> 01:41:50,370
Not unless I register
them papers with the county.
1522
01:41:50,454 --> 01:41:53,749
Now I will tell you something.
1523
01:41:53,832 --> 01:41:55,834
When you come back,
1524
01:41:55,918 --> 01:41:58,670
I'll have papers for your whole family
waiting in a lockbox.
1525
01:41:58,754 --> 01:42:00,005
I'm not going!
1526
01:42:00,088 --> 01:42:02,132
I'm tired of explaining it
to you!
1527
01:42:02,257 --> 01:42:05,594
I don't have to give no damn
explanation to no damn slave!
1528
01:42:05,677 --> 01:42:07,471
Sir Eric's carriage is leaving.
1529
01:42:07,554 --> 01:42:09,598
Do not resist.
Do not waste his time.
1530
01:42:09,681 --> 01:42:11,433
You can't do this!
You hear me?
1531
01:42:11,516 --> 01:42:12,893
I earned it!
I'm free!
1532
01:42:12,976 --> 01:42:14,978
You low bastard, Tom Lea!
1533
01:42:15,062 --> 01:42:16,730
You ain't a man!
1534
01:42:16,813 --> 01:42:19,650
You don't love nothing but money
and a whiskey jug!
1535
01:42:19,733 --> 01:42:21,151
That's all you love!
1536
01:42:21,276 --> 01:42:23,362
- Get this nigger off of me!
- Stop him!
1537
01:42:25,739 --> 01:42:28,075
You really are the trash
everybody says you is!
1538
01:42:28,158 --> 01:42:31,453
Ain't got no honor
and ain't got no pride!
1539
01:42:31,536 --> 01:42:33,580
Not even say goodbye
to my family?!
1540
01:42:33,664 --> 01:42:35,832
Matilda?!
My children and my mama?!
1541
01:42:35,916 --> 01:42:38,794
You a lying dog, Tom Lea!
1542
01:42:38,877 --> 01:42:42,756
Who gonna watch 'em, Tom?!
Who gonna watch my family?!
1543
01:42:42,839 --> 01:42:44,549
