Can you imagine anybody
arresting J.J.

for breaking
into a liquor store?

All right, all right,
all right now cool it.

Cool it!

We'll get him out. Just try
and hold yourself together.

James how can
I hold myself together

when they got my son
behind bars.

He's our first-born, James.

He's my brother, Daddy!

Mine too!

Well, he ain't
no orphan to me.

Now we gonna get him out here.
Just let me do the talking.

Baby, just let me
do the talking.

Okay, love.

Yeah?

I'm Mr. Evans
and I wanna--

Our son
has been arrested,

and we think
it's a mistake.

He'd never do
nothing like that.

Florida, let me
do the talking here baby.

Yeah I'm Mr. Evans,

and you got our son locked up
in here and we want to see him.

Our boy would
never do anything bad.

He isn't that
kind of boy.

Florida, please baby.

Okay, James.

Name of the suspect.

Evans,
James Evans Jr.

He's never
done anything real bad

in his whole life,
and today's his 18th birthday.

Quiet, Thelma, let
your daddy do the talking.

Thank you, baby.

Now officer,
all we want to do

is get him out of here.

James Evans Jr. arrested
on suspicion of 18-2

of the penal code.
Armed robbery of felony.

I bet you wouldn't be sticking
it to him if he was white.

Michael!

Officer, we know
he didn't do it.

No, he didn't do that.
He didn't do a thing like that!

Officer, there's got
to be a mistake.

Our boy is not
that kind of a child.

[INDISTINGUISHABLE YELLING]

y'all are popping
off too much.

You're getting hysterical
Now, just calm down.

Look all we wanna do
is get him out of here.

The court will probably
set bail at $5000.

$5000?
That's ridiculous!

Where are we gonna find
some money like that?

It's a discrimination
against the blacks--

All right, that's
enough out of you now.

Now, y'all popping off
for no reason.

Now you getting hysterical.
You got to calm down.

Just take it
nice and easy, hear?

Now, where in the hell
we gonna get $5000 from, man!

I've never seen that
kind of money in my life.

You only have to pay
10 percent, $500.

Well, where in the hell we gonna
get five hundred dollars!

I can't tell you
in a million years

how to raise the money,
but I can tell you

a lot about lowering
your voice.

James, honey, please
don't make it worse.

It's all right, baby,
can't you see

I'm trying to be nice?
I'm handling it calm and easy.

Now, look here, officer.

Sir, all we're trying
to say is

that we don't have
that kind of money.

Now what's gonna happen
to our boy?

He'll be bound
over the grand jury.

Well, when's
that, tomorrow?

Well, the courts
are pretty backed up.

I'd say two, three weeks
if you're lucky.

Two or three weeks, ah man.

And our son's gonna
remain in jail

for as long as that
before you even know

whether he did it or not?

That's not fair!
That's not fair at all!

We gotta take this
to the Supreme Court.

They got
a black judge there,

and he don't fool
around like y'all do.

I just keep
the log, sorry.

Now, look here, man, I'm through
being calm and easy.

Now, I wanna see
the head dude in charge.

That ain't no piece
of meat you got back there.

Now, I know
he don't mean

a damn thing to you,
but he does to us.

That's our child
you got back there.

And he ain't no criminal,

but Lord knows if you keep him
back there for that long,

you just might
turn him into one.

[INDISTINGUISHABLE YELLING]

I know, I know.

I don't understand how
he could do a thing like that.

Sit down.

You have the right to remain
silent, if you give up

the right to remain silent
anything you say can

and will be used against you
in a court of law.

You have the right
to speak with an attorney

and have the attorney
with you during questioning

if you so desire or cannot
afford one an attorney will be

appointed for you without charge
before questioning, okay?

Now start talking.

Would you mind repeating that?

Come on, come on
start talking.

You're the one that robbed
the liquor store.

No, I didn't rob
no liquor store.

Look, I'm a solid citizen,

as a matter of fact,
tomorrow I start a job.

So, if y'all excuse me,
I gotta go home

and get a good night's rest.

Sit down.

Were you at Robinson's Liquor
store at approximately 8:15?

Yeah, I was there, but--

And what were
you doing there?

Well, I had this heavy date,
so I went to buy some Certs.

Certs?

Yeah, I wanted to make out
with my chick Henrietta,

like that dude
does on TV.

You know, "Click, click"?

Is that all you did
at that store?

Yes, sir. No,
wait a minute,

I haven't told
y'all everything

Yeah?

While I was there
I also bought her a Snicker bar.

See, I got it right here.

It's kind of melted because
I been sweating a lot.

Now, according to
this arrest record

you were seen running
approximately 2 blocks

from the liquor store.
Why?

I was going on my date.

Why were you running?

If you saw the way
Henrietta's built,

you'd know why.

Now, look, you fit
the description of the suspect.

A tall, skinny young black man.

You just described
most of Chicago.

And half of the NBA.

Now why don't y'all
just bring down the man

who owns the liquor store,
he'll take one look at me

and he'll tell you
that I ain't the one.

He couldn't identify you!

The one that robbed
the store

had a nylon stocking
over his face.

That proves it, where would
I get a nylon stocking from?

My sister Thelma
wears panty hose,

and my mother
wears sub hose.

How'd you get rid
of the gun so fast?

Gun?
Yeah.

I never
owned a gun.

Had a bean shooter once,

but it didn't work.
It was bent.

Honest, I wouldn't
kid y'all.

What'd you do with the $85
you took from the cash register?

$85?

Man, if I had $85 I wouldn't be
running to meet Henrietta.

I'd charter a helicopter.

Now, look, kid,
this is your first rap,

if you admit you did it
and cooperate,

the judge will go
a little easier on you.

You see, we're here
to help you.

Want a cigarette?

Yeah, thanks man.

[COUGHS]

What's the matter?

I just remembered,
I don't smoke.

James, we can't let J.J. stay
in jail for God knows how long.

Don't worry, baby.
We gonna get him out,

I'm just trying to figure.

Now, we need $500.
Uh-huh.

All right, now I can borrow
from Willie Kuntz, Jimmy Gamble,

Lunchmeat Muckford,
my cousin Fred on the south side

and then there's
your Aunt Hattie.

Well, that'll get us $50.

Now where we gonna
get the other $450?

Now wait just a minute are you
forgetting who's sitting here.

This is Willona, the closest
friend of the family.

Now you know you
can count on me.

Well, thank you, Willona.

Look here Willona,
how much money you got?

Let's see now,
in the saving account I got...

In the checking's account
I got...

The emergency cash I keep
in the coffee can I got...

Better you don't count on me.

Well, Daddy, maybe you can
get a loan from the bank.

Thelma, how you sound.

After that department store
computer bad mouthed my credit,

the bank loan ain't
even up for discussion.

They're probably
getting ready to foreclose

on that free calendar
they give us.

Well, James, we got
to do something.

J.J., are you all right?
Did they hurt you, son?

No, Ma,
I'm okay.

Mom, Dad, I didn't hold up
the liquor store.

That's good enough
for us, Junior.

Ah, do you have to have those
handcuffs on him

like he's a criminal?

He ain't gonna hurt nobody.

That's right, I swear.

I think I need
a smaller size.

Let's go.

Well, where you
taking him?

I don't know, Ma,

but I got a feeling it
ain't the honeymoon suite.

Junior, don't worry, son.
We gonna get you out of here.

You got the whole
family behind you.

Plus one.
Don't worry about a thing, J.J.

And J.J., if you ain't
out by morning

I'll be outside
with my picket sign.

Thanks, Michael.

And can somebody get word
to the messenger service

and tell them
I won't be in tomorrow.

THELMA:
I'll go, J.J.

I got a feeling I'm gonna be
tied up for a few days.

Lord, if we ever needed your
help, we need it now.

Baby, come on,
let's go on home.

Ain't nothing else
we can do here now.

Maybe we can get
some help in the morning.

I ain't leaving James.

While they got my son locked up
back there,

I ain't moving from this spot.

Ah, come on now, Florida.

James, I said
I ain't leaving.

I don't care how long
I have to sit here.

Right on!

Y'all may as well go on home
because I'm gonna stay here

with your mother.
We'll stay too.

I can start
on my picket sign right now.

Willona will you take Thelma
and Michael on home please?

Sure, come on, kids, let's go.

Go ahead, Thelma.

And, Thelma?

Yeah, Ma?

You make some breakfast
for your brother, hear?

Okay.

Florida, I can make
breakfast for Michael.

Either way I'm in big trouble.

Michael.

Daddy, I'm with you.

Thelma and Willona should
go home, and us men

should just stay here.

What did you say?

I'm going home
with Thelma and Willona.

That's what I thought you said.

Thelma, first thing
in the morning,

I want you to go down
to that messenger place

and tell them your brother
won't be coming in tomorrow.

Okay, Daddy.
And maybe the next day.

Come on, baby, let's go.

Oh, James, James,
baby, I'm scared.

It'll be all right.

James...

Where's my breakfast?!

Don't they serve no food
around here?

I get mean when
I don't get my food.

Would you like half
of my Snicker bar?

Hey, thanks.

That was good.

What I could really go
for is a side of ribs.

Don't look at mine.
They ain't got no meat on 'em.

You're okay, kid.

I like you.

Thanks, it's nice
to be liked.

Yeah, you know it.

Yeah, it's nice to be liked,
but not that much.

What're you in for, kid?

Armed robbery,
but I didn't do it.

What are you in for?

Beating up five dudes,
and I did it.

You hit me.

I don't like nobody
hitting me.

Nobody!

Just trying
to be friendly.

Just don't do it
again, you hear?

Yes, sir.

You're a good kid.

I like ya.

Hundred prisoners in the jail

and I got to be in a cell
with George Foreman.

That's funny.

Please don't
like me no more.

About time!

Yeah!

Boy, this looks good.

Mm-hmm.
But it ain't enough.

I was just gonna
offer you mine.

Thanks, kid.

Hey!

What kind of joint is this?

They forgot
to serve the napkins.

I get very unpleasant
when they don't serve napkins.

James...

James!

You better answer,
because I ain't no James.

I'm sorry, baby,
I must of been dreaming.

Yeah, your dream
must've been

in a dance hall, because you
changed partners.

People ain't safe
no place.

You even get molested
in a police station.

I'm sorry, baby.

Oh, that's all right, honey.
I was dreaming too.

I dreamed we was home and
everything was all right.

But we still here and everything
ain't all right.

You know, James,
I was just thinking.

This experience
might teach J.J.

not to make a joke out
of finding things.

Hey, good morning y'all.

Hi Mom,
hi Dad.

Hey Willona,
hi sweetheart.

Hey, Michael,
what you got there?

I made a picket sign.

The fuzz is unfair
to brothers especially mine.

Michael.

You think that one is bad,

you should have seen the one
he was gonna bring.

Hey, what we gonna
do with this boy.

I don't know what
you gonna do baby,

I gonna get him
some more cardboard

so he can keep
making these signs.

Right on, Dad.

Here, I brought you
some nice hot coffee.

Thanks, Willona.

You guys get any sleep at all?

Not much.

We both slept kind of miserable,
but James woke up happy.

I don't want none.

Florida, what are
you talking about?

Nothing. She ain't talking
about nothing.

Hey, Daddy, there's
a brother over there.

Wouldn't he let J.J. out?

Long as he got
that uniform on,

you ain't got to give his
pigmentation no consideration.

I'll talk
to him anyway.

Hey, brother,
if you got any sense--

Wait, wait!

Now we got troubles enough.
You sit down.

Damn!

James, what's the matter?
The coffee too strong?

Ah, no, Willona.
It's fine. It's fine.

You know, this could be a
way of getting Junior out.

A couple of drops of this stuff,
there'd be a hole in the jail.

James, I never said
that I was Mrs. Olson.

Florida, what's happening
with J.J.? Anything new?

Nothing. He's
still sitting in there,

and we still
sitting out here.

Say, Willona, did, uh,
Thelma go by the messenger place

to tell them that Junior
wouldn't be coming in today?

Yeah, I told her make up
any kind of good excuse.

James, the more I think
about this, the sicker I get.

$500, ain't no way
in the world

we can get that
kind of money.

Hey, there, I hear you all got
caught in a long green squeeze.

Man, your troubles are over
because plenty money is here.

Man, you better
get the hell out of here.

That sure is foul, brother.
That sure is cold.

Let me run it
down for you.

Here in Chicago,
ain't no bails bondsman.

So I'm here to fill
in the gap.

I'm what is known
as a public utility, dig?

Yeah, I dig,
you're a loan shark.

James, wait a minute.

How much interest
you charging?

Since we're all brothers,
just 20 percent.

20 percent?

A week.

Nigga, is you sick?

Hey, man, you ought
to be ashamed of yourself,

ripping off brothers.

Hey, can't look so fine

less you lay the bread
on the line.

Mm, mm, mm.

Mm-mm.

You look awfully familiar.

Haven't we met
some place before?

Could be, foxy mama.
I get around.

Oh yeah,
I remember you,

I tripped over you,

while you were trying
to climb out the sewer.

What's wrong with you, mama?
Get off my case!

Your case is already
closed, tacky turkey.

Say, if you all
got this hang up

about my charitable intentions,
hey, I'll move along.

Later.

No, wait!

James, we got to get
J.J. out anyway we can.

Baby, once these cats
get you on a hook,

you don't never
get them paid off.

They keep you paying till
the day you die.

Then after that
they go into the ground

after you to get
the gold teeth out your mouth.

Honey, we can't let
J.J. stay in here

for God knows how many weeks
before they even have a trial.

I don't think
I could live through it.

Oh, please, James.
James, please.

All right, Mr. Clean.
Let's deal.

Always happy
to lighten your burden.

Is that enough, mama?
I got plenty more.

Come on, man.

Get out of here.

Say, man, just trying to conduct
a little honest business.

Move!

Say, okay. If you need me
I'll be across the street.

I also make loans on TV sets,
stereo's, toasters.

Get out of here!

Okay, okay, cool it,
daddy, solid, man.

I'd like to put that
cat up under the jail.

He was our last chance
to get our son out of jail.

Well, that's what I came
out here to tell you.

Mr. and Mrs. Evans, your son
is in the clear.

What!
Are we hearing you right?

Your son is
in the clear!

All right!

We found the one
that robbed the liquor store.

My partner is
questioning him right now,

and he's the one because
we found the gun on him.

Now just a few more
technicalities,

and your son
will be out real soon.

Yeah!

Yes, may I help you, please?

Yes, my name
is Thelma Evans,

and I'm here to tell you
that my brother James Evans Jr.

can't make it
to work today.

You see, he suddenly caught
the 24-hour flu.

And sometimes the 24-hour flu
takes 48 hours

or even 72 hours if you don't
have a good lawyer--

I mean, doctor.

My brother told me to tell you
even though he's in bed

with a 104 fever, as soon
as he gets out of bed

he'll report to work because
he's very anxious to start

and he'll make it up to you
by delivering

twice as many messages.

He's got real long legs
that can move fast.

In fact, I call him the
roadrunner,

and you'll feel the same way
when he comes into work for you.

He's not only fast he's hard
working, dependable, honest.

How long will your brother
be in jail?

What's taking so damn long
to let him out?

Honey, they said there
were technicalities.

Technicalities,
I got a good mind to sue them

for false arrest.

Please, James,
don't make waves.

Let's just get J.J.
out of here

and get him home,
and then tomorrow morning

I'll come back, and I'll
sue them for false arrest.

Yeah, baby, you do that.

J.J.!

There he is.
Hey, honey.

How y'all doing?

J.J., I'm so happy.

Don't cry, Mama.
Don't worry about it.

I never doubted it
for a minute.

Hey, J.J., were
you scared?

Scared?

Are you jiving?

At first the man thought
he was dealing

with some frightened
little boy,

then he took one look
at me and realized

he dealing
with Kid a Dy-no-mite!

Yeah, baby,
he's all right.

Mm-hmm.

But they kept trying
to confuse me

by firing questions at me,
but I kept confusing them

by pleading
the Fourth Amendment.

You mean the Fifth Amendment.

That's what confused them.

Junior, did you have
any trouble in there?

Naw, they threw me
in a cell with this guy

that was in for beating
up five dudes.

Oh, my lord.

No, don't worry
about it, Mama.

I just gave one
of my mean looks

and he turned whiter
than Lawrence Welk.

After a while
he got so afraid

that he started
feeding me his oatmeal.

Sarge, you wanna call George
and have him come down

and book this guy
for that liquor store robbery.

Is this the one
that robbed the liquor store?

Yes, ma'am.

Well, I can see how
you made a mistake.

They're practically twins.

Sorry for the little
inconvenience.

Your son is free to go.

Well, let's get out of here
before they book J.J.

for being
an 80-year-old midget.

Yeah, I wanna get home
and go to my job this afternoon.

Mom, Dad--

Oh, Thelma, did you
hear the good news?

J.J. is free.

Yeah, ain't that great?

You should of seen the one
they arrested, Thelma.

He was a fat little butterball,
half J.J.'s size.

You should've seen him.

Baby, didn't you hear
what we said? J.J. is free.

You don't look all that happy.
What's the matter?

That's right. Smile up, little
sister. My problems is over.

I lost the job, huh?

You mean they already
found out that J.J.

was arrested last night?

Yeah, Ma.

I bet you it's them damn
computers again.

Now they jam me down
at the department store

for a payment I didn't miss,
now they jamming Junior

for something he didn't do.

The way they work,

probably 10 minutes after J.J.

was arrested, his record
was all over the country.

I bet his
record is everywhere by now.

Ah, baby, you can't win
for losing.

Now wait minute now,
y'all.

Let's look on the bright side
of this thing.

Over night my record's
at the top of the charts.

Let's get him home.
