All language subtitles for Quantum Leap s03e07 Black on White on Fire.eng

Theorising that one could
time-travel within his own lifetime,

Dr Sam Beckett stepped
into the quantum leap accelerator

and vanished!

He awoke to find himself
trapped in the past.

Facing mirror images
that were not his own...

and driven by an unknown force
to change history for the better.

His only guide on this journey is Al,

an observer from his own time
who appears in the form

of a hologram that only Sam
can see and hear.

And so Dr Beckett finds himself
leaping from life to life,

striving to put right
what once went wrong,

and hoping each time
that his next leap...

..will be the leap home.

No fair thinking about
anything but us.

You promised.

I...

Yeah, I guess I did.

We get so little time together.

I won't have you off
thinking about anything but me.

OK. Medical school.

I won't be jealous
of medical school.

What are you doing here?
Take him any way you want, Papa D.

No!

Ray, no! No!

Make it stop! No!
Lonnie, make it stop!

You make it stop.
They won't listen to me. I wonder why (!)

Lonnie, please!
Now it's 'Lonnie, please.'

Well, what about when Lonnie said
please stay away from his brother?

I can't stay away from him.
I love him.

Until she gets bored.
Or until it ain't hip no more.

Then what happens to Ray?
Isn't that my business?

Not as long as I'm busting my ass
to put you through med school, it ain't!

You got your nose so wide open
you forgot what colour you are?

What does colour have to do with it?
Say what?

I think you choked him too long,
Papa D. Or not long enough.

Colour shouldn't have
anything to do...

with relationships.

No-one should know that
better than us.

You been sucking up to this white
trash so long, you starting to sound like her.

He sounds like your future.
Not MY future.

She's talking about mine.
Doing what?

Dumping Mr Charlie's bedpans?

Yeah, man. Your MD ain't gonna stand
for more than 'moving doo-doo' (!)

Ray's good. He'll be able to
practice anywhere in this country. He's already breaking barriers.

Do you think that's why Mom and I
busted our asses all these years?

To break honky barriers?

Ray's staying here.

Taking care of his own people.

It makes sense.
What about Boston?

Boston? You're gonna walk away from
an internship at Brigham?

Uh...
You never said nothing about Boston.

Uh, I must've forgot to tell you.

No. What you forgot
is who you are!

And we both know why!

You're my brother, man,
and I love you.

But she goes, Ray.

She goes!

And you stay!

This is Melvin the Magnificent.

And I know this heat's got all y'all
hurting' so bad.

Have mercy on LA.
It's another hot one.

Weatherman says it's over 100
and it's gonna stay that way.

So I think, if we've gotta be
sweating all night,

let it be in the arms
of the one you love. That's L-U-V.

Right now, it's 8:25
and the last little bit

of summer sunshine
is about to fall into the sea.

And I, Melvin the Magnificent,
wanna have a word

with all you fine people out there
in partyland.

Now, get yourself
up close to the radio,

cos I'm about to give you your
party instructions for the night.

The first thing you wanna do

is turn the lights
to red, green and blue.

Then, when the moon is bright
and the moon is low,

take your rhythm down
to a time that's real slow.

(RADIO OFF)

Susan...
Ray.

No-one has the right to tell you
what to do with your life.

Not Lonnie, not your mom and not me.

I just wanna be part of your future.

And it's not in Watts.

Lonnie reminds me of that
every time I look in his eyes.

I love you.

And I won't spend my life
without you.

Susan!

You told me this was over.
We were studying and -

I asked you to stay away from
my daughter. Now I'm telling you.

I think -
I don't give a damn what you think.

You just stay away from Susan.
Stop it, Daddy! Not under my roof.

Then I'll move in with Ray!
No, wait a minute. Don't you think

we should talk about this?
You don't want me to move in? No, I didn't say that.

He doesn't want you in Watts
any more than I do. I didn't say that either!

You stay away from him and
you stay outta that damn ghetto!

I work there!
Susan.

Coloureds are beating whites
in Watts right now.

You think they won't
turn on you because you volunteered for a couple of months?

No! Because it's the 20th century!

Because this is Los Angeles,
California. Not Redneck, Mississippi 100 years ago!

Negroes and whites
are getting married all the time. It doesn't matter any more.

It does to me.

Now get in the house.

Come on, Susan...
We'll work this out.

The hell you will.
Go in the house, Susan. Please.

Daddy. The only difference
between you and Lonnie is the colour of your skin!

When you first started
coming around here...

..I tried...

to deal with you as an individual.

But then I realised I have to
deal with you for what you are.

A coloured man
who's going to hurt my daughter.

I'd never hurt Susan.

But they will.
They?

Your brothers...

as that fanatic Malcolm X calls them.

They will hurt her.

And there won't be a thing
you'll be able to do to stop it.

♪ THE MIRACLES: Tracks Of My Tears

How's it going, kid?
I'm black again, Al.

I can tell (!)

I'm a black man
engaged to a white girl.

And nobody wants us together.

Not her father or my brother
or any of his so-called friends.

It's 1965, Sam.

California may be as far to the left

as you can go without leaving
the country, but there's still a lot of ignorance and bigotry.

What am I here to do?
We don't know. Ziggy's running some scenarios on the riot.

But he hasn't figured out
a way to plug you in yet. Riot?

Don't you know where you are?

Yeah. Watts.
It's August 11th 1965.

One of the worst riots this country's
ever seen is about to go down right here.

I don't remember.

A black man named Marquette Frye
gets arrested in Compton.

That lit the fuse. When it was over,

35 people were dead,
hundreds of people were injured

and the main drag
became known as Charcoal Alley.

Made me sick when it happened.

Pushed the Civil Rights Amendment
and the Voting Rights Bill through and then it all goes up in smoke.

Maybe I'm here to stop the riots.
You can't!

Marquette got arrested hours ago.
It's already started.

It's too late.
I can warn people. I can warn 'em.

Who will listen to a medical student?
Maybe my brother.

Lonnie's a militant!
And you're his little brother. He'll never listen.

Nobody will ever listen to you.
Susan would. Susan?

Have Ziggy run a scenario on
me and Susan Brewster.

You mean Ray and Susan.
Yeah, right. Yeah.

She loves him so much, Al.

When she looks at me,
I feel like she wants to just...

crawl inside and never come out.

There was only one woman
that ever looked at me like that.

Bingo. That's it, Sam.
Ziggy says 87% you're here to keep Ray and Susan together.

He lost Susan because of the riot.

And when he lost her, he lost
his dream of becoming a doctor.

That can't be right. She loves him
too much to give him up.

How can you be sure of that?
No. No. She loves me, Al.

Why do you say 'me'?

You mean Ray, Don't you?
That's twice you've done that.

Are you starting
to fall in love with Susan?

No! It's just that...

even though I just got here,
I can see how much she loves Ray.

She wouldn't let anything part them.
The Watts riots were not just anything, Sam.

And we can't stop it?
No. We would've had to come here 50 years ago.

You said it started
when Frye was arrested. It started when the first black

couldn't find a job
or live where he wanted to. It started when the first

baby went hungry.

Or the first cop hassled some guy,
just because he was black.

This match has been burning
a long time, Sam.

Oh, right.
It's Dr Moving Doo-Doo (!)

You know, I figured out
exactly what your problem is.

I don't...

I don't have a problem.
Oh, yes, you do.

You, my man, have forgotten
the fine flavour

of sweet brown chocolate
melting down to the rhythm of a 45.

Uh-huh.

You need to party, my man.

Party? There's a riot starting.

I know.
It's right over at Sheri Hills'.

Go with him, Sam.
I gotta get some data anyway.

Come on.

Forget Suzy Sunshine for one night.

That's the data I'm gonna be getting.
Don't leave me!

Ain't nobody leaving you, young
blood. You know, you need a vacation.

However, I,
Papa D, the doctor of love,

prescribe one major dose of partying.

Come on.
Let's go see what Sheri's put on.

Get down, y'all. Sheri?

Lord, have mercy on my soul.

Dr Strangelove has come to party (!)

(CHUCKLES) Come on, sugar.
I've been waiting for you.

Uh...

You know um...

I really shouldn't.
Put your arms around me, like you used to in high school.

And dip.

Um...

I really should...
uh, go home and...and study.

Good. I could help you.

Like I used to
with your anatomy lessons (!)

(LAUGHS)

I appreciate the offer, but um...

..I'm engaged.

You mean to tell me you're gonna
honestly marry that sugar cookie?

Susan is a...is a very nice girl.

And so am I,
if you'll let me show you.

I um...

I really think that you'd like her.

Now, how am I
supposed to find that out?

Is she gonna
invite me over for tea (?)

Well, maybe.
Maybe you could invite her.

Yeah. I'll put that
on my social calendar (!)

But...until then um...

what if you and I...

Hey, listen up. Listen up!
Hey, man!

Don't be busting up the party.
The party's over!

It's my party and it's not over
until I say it's over!

(SIREN) Shut up! Shut up and listen!
What is your problem, man?

The streets are swarming with cops,
man.

They're arresting brothers for
walking down the street. For what?

Does it matter? Does it ever matter?

They beat a pregnant woman
in the street

cos she tried to stop two cops
from clubbing a black man.

Lonnie, don't start this.
Start what, man?

Are we gonna let a bunch of honky
cops stomp us into the ground, man,

cos we're fighting back for once?

We gotta take back our streets.

You can't go out there.

If the police are beating people,
you're just asking for it.

It's the cops that are asking for it.
Use your head.

People are gonna get hurt.
He may be right, man.

You think Mr Charlie's right,
Papa D?

I didn't say that. It's not about
that. It's about saving lives.

You been running for Mr Charlie
for too long!

He's been running us all too long!

Telling us when to go home,
when to go to work.

When to breathe (!)
We gotta take 'em down!

Going out there is not the answer.

You hide in this room, Ray. I can't.

Not when the man
is beating our women.

Not when the man
is imprisoning my brothers.

I can't hide. I gotta fight!

No!

Move out the way, Charlie!

(HUBBUB)

Lonnie, wait!

Come on, Lonnie. Stop!

Lonnie!

(SIREN)
Go home! Get in your house!

Get inside!
Sam, there's nothing you can do.

It's not your fault, Sam.
You're not here to stop the riot.

You're here to see that
Ray and Susan stay together.

People are dying, Al!
Well, Susan may be one of 'em.

What? I don't know.
Ziggy's telling me now that

there's a 32% chance that
she could die in the next 48 hours.

Is it some history I changed?
No, I don't think so.

The odds are still heavy that you're
here to keep Ray and Susan together.

Now there's this outside chance
that maybe she could die.

Oh, Ray!

Thank God!

What are you doing here?

I saw what was happening on the news
and I got so afraid.

I had this feeling something terrible
would happen to you.

I tried to talk some sense into her.

But she swore if I didn't bring her
down here, she'd come on her own.

She's lucky she made it here alive,
Sam.

You've gotta go home.
I can't.

I left a note telling Daddy
I'm staying with you.

Negroes aren't the only ones
going crazy tonight (!)

She quit tonight.

She said, after 11 years,
she didn't know who Daddy was.

Susan. Susan, this is crazy.
I gotta get you home!

Daddy was right.
You don't love me, do you?

This has nothing to do with love!
It does!

If you love me as much as I love you,
you'll want me with you at a time like this.

So I can worry about you being hurt?
Sam, carry on this discussion inside.

Get her off the street before she's
seen. You live there. Apartment 218.

We gotta go inside!
(EXPLOSION)

"The mayor will request that
the National Guard are called in."

"Fire-bombings of retail stores
and businesses

continue in the meantime
with no ending in sight."

Matty had me hide
under an old quilt in the back seat.

I almost told her to take me home,
but...

I thought about you.

About us.

And none of it mattered.
It does matter!

It's too dangerous for you here.

People know me, Ray. I've worked
all summer at the health centre.

Nobody cares about that now.
This is a riot, Susan.

People don't care about
what you've done.

They only see
the colour of your skin.

Now, I'm gonna figure out
a way for you to get home.

And when I do, I want you
to stay there. Not without you!

I gotta stay here! No, you don't,
Ray. You don't belong here. You're better than this.

We can get a place on campus
until after our boards. And then we go to Boston.

She could be right, Sam.
No!

I can't explain. I gotta stay.

Then so will I. Until I can
talk some sense into you.

WOMAN: Lonnie?

Somebody!

Lean on me.

Sam, that's Ray's mother.
Your mother!

We were coming up on a bus on...
(INDISTINCT)

Easy. All of a sudden,
there was all these people in the middle of the street.

They were...screaming and
throwing rocks and bottles at us.

I thought they were gonna
turn over that bus.

They grabbed the driver...
and they started breaking windows.

There was police everywhere!

I don't know how I got off that bus.

I don't know how I even got home!

Susan! Oh, Lord, child!
What you doing here?

I wanted to be with Ray.

You gotta get her outta here.

They'll kill her, if they see her!

(EXPLOSION)

Oh, no, no. What's that?

What in God's name
is happening to us?

Ray? Ray, honey. Wake up.

Electricity came on around seven.

I think the coffee's still hot.

What time is it?

Eleven. I tried to wake you, but...

Where's Susan?
I shooed her off to your room.

She's still asleep.

I guess I'd better call her father.

It don't work.
Huh?

I saw the repair trucks, but...

Well, folks pulled the driver out
and... You know.

Back in Mariposa,
it was the white man's hatred.

Now it's the Negroes angry
about what's supposed to be.

Seems no matter where we go,
we can't get away from the hate.

Maybe it's not the place that makes
the difference, but the people.

That's why you being a doctor here
is so important.

Show these kids in the street
they can be somebody better.

In a way, that's what Lonnie wants.

That boy troubles me.

So much hate, and yet he cares.

He cares, Ray. Or he wouldn't
be working so hard to put you through school.

He's afraid I won't stay here.

Oh, you won't go!

I raised you better than that.

You won't go.

God gave you a gift
to make these streets better.

You won't go.

Unless she takes you away.

I just want what's best for Ray.

I love Ray, Mamma Harper.

And I don't wanna see him lose
his chance to be someone great.

He can be great right here.
No, he can't.

He can do good here,
but he can't be great.

Um... Sometimes...

Sometimes doing good
is more important.

Ray, do you wanna spend your life
in Watts, raise our children in it?

Raising your children is gonna be
hard, no matter where you do it.

Why?
Because wherever you go,

they won't fit in - they won't
be black and they won't be white.

They'll be human.
Of course they'll be human, child.

I'm talking about race.
Yeah, I know.

But maybe, if we teach our kids
to say that they're human,

instead of black or white or red
or yellow, maybe race won't matter.

(SCOFFS)
Not in my lifetime!

Ray, what the hell is she doing here?

What are you boys
doing in my house with guns?

She shouldn't be here.
She could get hurt.

Our brothers are dying, and
you're worried about this racist?

Susan ain't no racist.
What's she doing here, Ray?

She came to be with me.
Why?

To ease your jaw (?)
Bebe! Cut it, Bebe!

See what her being here does?
It's not her that does it.

What happened?
We burnt out Weintraub's Market.

Mr Weintraub's been in this store
for over 30 years.

Why you have to burn him out?
Cos he's just another cracker

stealing money from black folks
that ain't giving a damn thing back. It was wrong!

Jimmy Parsons has worked there
as long as I can recall.

As a stock boy!

Why don't you ask him how he feels
now he has no work?

You'd think the old Jew would've
trusted him after 15 years.

Taught him more than sweeping up.

Maybe he just needed
someone to suggest the idea.

This is gonna need stitches.
Then, sew it!

Or has all that money
that Lonnie's been working for

to get you through medical school
all these years been for nothing?

You don't make it real easy
to wanna help you, Bebe.

And gratitude ain't enough. Do it cos
you're a black man, and so is he.

Being black has nothing to do
with helping him.

I'm doing it because, if I don't,
he's gonna bleed to death.

I've got a sewing kit in my room.
There's needles and sutures at the clinic.

My God. That's where we should be.

If we can't stop what's happening,
we can at least help the people it's happening to.

How will we get in?
Only Dr Michaels has a key.

The one thing we don't need
in Watts right now is a key (!)

OK. Let's take a look at this arm,
huh?

All right.

Yeah, OK.
Susan, I'm gonna need some splints.

We used the last one. I'll see if
I can improvise something.

OK. Momma, get me some tape.
Right, Ray.

You OK?
(I feel like a doctor.)

It's great!
Somebody, please!

Help my baby!
He's burnt pretty bad, Ray.

All right. You go take over there.
I got him, I got him.

Easy. All right. What happened?

We were staying in the shoe store.

And it just blew up.
Glass went flying everywhere.

You're a lucky guy.
We're gonna take care of this.

Susan, I need your help.

Get that honky away from my son!

Get away from my child!
She's gonna help me. I don't need help from her!

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

OK. Uh...

Momma and I, we'll take care of him.
We'll take care of him, child.

It's OK.

It's OK, buddy.
All right. I got you.

Momma, get me scissors, sutures.

(HELICOPTER OVERHEAD)

(DISTANT SIREN)

See, Ray?

You see what it'd be like?

Susan.

You helped a lot of people today
who appreciated it.

Did they, Ray?
That's not what I saw in their eyes.

I saw anger and hatred.

They tolerated me only because
they were hurting and needed help.

No. How would you know?
You're one of them!

You're tired,
or you wouldn't say that.

Maybe that's when
the truth comes out.

I can't go through life
fighting people who hate me for the colour of my skin.

I think that's how everybody
in Watts must feel tonight.

Your mother was right.

We'll never be
just a husband and wife.

We'll be a black husband
and a white wife.

And neither race
will ever let us forget it.

All that matters is that we do.

I'm not sure any more, Ray.
I'm just not sure.

Ray! Ray!

He's bleeding bad, man!

Hit on me, if it'll help.
Get the police. They can take him to a hospital.

They're the ones that shot him!
She's right. Call the police!

No!

Fine. If you won't, I will!

It's too late.

He's dead.

No more black people die.

I pray to God you're right.

I'm right, Momma.

I'm gonna see
no more black people die.

Lonnie?

Any more brothers die...

..then she dies!
Ray!

You ain't gonna kill my boy.

Stop it, Bebe.
Bebe, I said stop it!

Go find him, Ray.

Where'd he take her, Bebe?

I don't know.

You fools!

You boys, you're all fools!

LOUDHAILER: This is the police.
Return to your homes!

Return to your homes!

Al!
My God!

Susan.
Where's Susan?

You don't know?
Lonnie took her hostage.

He's gonna execute her
if another black is killed.

So that's what happened.
What?

That's why I came. The odds
on Susan dying just jumped to 82%.

Can't Ziggy get a lock on her?

He could barely get a lock on you.
That's what took me so long.

(SIREN AND GUNSHOT)

Get outta here quick!
It's the cops! Run, run, run!

Go! Go!

"Rumours are rampant.
One of the most disturbing

is that the white daughter
of a police captain is being held hostage in Watts

and will be executed if another
Negro is killed by police."

Bebe got the word out.

Daddy can't stop this.

You'd better pray he can.

Killing me will only make it worse.

For who (?)

(RUMBLING)
Look out there.

Can it get any worse than that?

No.

You know they'll come after you.

I'm ready.

You're gonna
kill me no matter what.

If your daddy stops murdering
my people, I'll let you go.

He can't stop
what's happening out there!

No.

I don't suppose he can.

Sam! Over here!

Ziggy found her.
They're in your apartment.

I'm lost, Al. It's two blocks east,
one block north.

Go to her.
I'm gone.

Keep looking.
Reports are seeing Susan everywhere.

He could be anywhere.

"Take it easy. We'll find her."
Can you stifle the reporters?

"Yes. The media will withhold
announcing any more deaths until Susan is safe."

Good. I've ordered my men to pull
back and fire only if fired upon.

"Paul, you can't do that."

The hell I can't. That's my daughter!

I need some help over here!
Gimme a hand!

Where's Susan? Ray!

Ray, look at me! Where's Susan?

Lonnie's got her.

He just wants the killing to stop.
Tell me where he's got her.

Tell me!
Not unless I go with you.

Ray! Where is she?

Please.
(GUNSHOT)

"There have been no reported deaths
in the last two hours."

"But the violence
seems to be escalating."

"The National Guard
will be called in by morning."

Come on, Sam. Come on!

"This is the police, Lonnie."

"Put your weapon down
and step to the window

with your hands on your head."

Sir.
Oh, thank God.

He's holding her
in that 2nd floor apartment.

That roof will do.

That's my daughter up there.

I won't shoot
unless it's a sure kill.

Get back there.
Clear those civilians outta here now!

Lonnie?

It's Ray.

I'm coming in.
He's right behind the door.

POLICE: There is no way out!

You can die for Watts.

But can you live for it?

You're talking like a fool!

You're acting like one.

I need you, Lonnie.

Momma needs you.

We all need you.

We need you to make people listen.

I think you're reaching him, Sam.

Give me the gun, Lonnie.

Please.

Her daddy's killing us out there!

Then be better than he is!

Be more just...and more right...

..and stay alive to make sure
that what happens out there never happens again.

"Just in. Snipers on the corner
of 103rd and Compton

were shot after
an intense gun battle with police."

"The snipers were taken
to LA General,

where their condition is unknown
at this time."

Unknown? "We'll bring
you updates on their condition..."

Those brothers are dead!

Come on. Come on, move your head.
Let me have a shot. Go on.

I love her, Lonnie.

And I can't believe...that
my brother would murder what I love.

Madness.

Thank God.

Oh, get out of my face.

Both of you.

Just get out of my face.

(SUSAN SCREAMS)

He let me go!
He let me go!

You didn't have to kill him!

He...he was going to shoot you,
Susan.

Lonnie!

Why does he have to die?

It can't be for nothing, Al.

I can't let his death
be for nothing.

I have to stay in Watts.

Ray has to stay in Watts.
Not you.

I have to stay!

Sam...

you did it.

Is it worth that?

Was it enough?

WOMAN: And now...
for the sword of doom!

Doom?

Ladies and gentlemen...
The Great Spontini!

(DRUMROLL AND CHORD)

(APPLAUSE)

Oh, boy!
