- What do you have to say

- 11
- 00:02:00,452 --> 00:02:03,822
- a legacy, if proven worthy,
- 12
- 00:02:03,856 --> 00:02:07,627
- that will carry us all the way
- to the shores of France.
- 13

- Well, this is the war to make

- 37
- 00:03:14,827 --> 00:03:17,830
- - Same reason as you, friend.
- - Oh, hell no.
- 38
- 00:03:17,863 --> 00:03:19,098
- See I joined
- 'cause the judge said
- 39
- 00:03:19,131 --> 00:03:21,800
- I go to the army
- or I go to jail.
- 40
- 00:03:21,834 --> 00:03:23,669

- - Stop worrying so much.
- 165
- 00:09:47,319 --> 00:09:49,689
- - This one right here, Officer.
- - We're trying to help you.
- 166
- 00:09:59,998 --> 00:10:01,267
- Y'all get off.
- 167
- 00:10:26,792 --> 00:10:28,226
- Get where you belong.
- 168
- 00:10:31,296 --> 00:10:34,398
- I'm a soldier in the U.S. Army.
- 169
- 00:10:34,431 --> 00:10:35,901
- I sit where I wanna sit.
- 170
- 00:10:38,235 --> 00:10:39,904
- Shit!
- 171
- 00:10:39,937 --> 00:10:41,405
- Sir...
- 172
- 00:10:48,479 --> 00:10:52,283
- Don't you ever talk back
- to a white man.
- 173
- 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,356
- Yo! Stop!
- 174
- 00:10:57,388 --> 00:10:59,224
- Drop it, big buck.
- 175
- 00:10:59,257 --> 00:11:02,027
- You mean as about
- as much to me as a gnat.
- 176
- 00:11:02,060 --> 00:11:03,529
- So get off before I swat ya.
- 177
- 00:11:06,364 --> 00:11:08,233
- Okay, come on,
- come on, Boston...
- 178
- 00:11:08,266 --> 00:11:10,269
- Let's go, let's go, come on.
- 179
- 00:11:14,940 --> 00:11:17,042
- Come here, boy.
- 180
- 00:11:18,475 --> 00:11:20,278
- You're a soldier, huh?
- 181
- 00:11:23,514 --> 00:11:26,885
- You ain't nothing
- but a nagger in a fancy getup.
- 182
- 00:11:48,540 --> 00:11:51,543
- Jim Crow's the law.
- 183
- 00:11:51,575 --> 00:11:52,912
- Respect it.
- 184
- 00:11:54,446 --> 00:11:56,315
- Sorry for the trouble, folks.
- 185
- 00:12:12,196 --> 00:12:14,298
- Private William Boston,
- 186
- 00:12:14,331 --> 00:12:17,034
- you have
- an impressive background.
- 187
- 00:12:17,067 --> 00:12:20,905
- It's says here in your file you
- recently graduated from the Sorbonne
- 188
- 00:12:20,939 --> 00:12:22,875
- - in Paris, France.
- - Yes, sir.
- 189
- 00:12:22,907 --> 00:12:24,210
- It's a fine school.
- 190
- 00:12:26,543 --> 00:12:28,246
- I'd like to recommend you
- 191
- 00:12:28,279 --> 00:12:32,149
- for Colored Officer Training
- School in Des Moines, Iowa.
- 192
- 00:12:32,182 --> 00:12:35,354
- I think with your credentials
- you'll do very well there.
- 193
- 00:12:35,387 --> 00:12:37,055
- - No, sir.
- - No?
- 194
- 00:12:37,088 --> 00:12:38,657
- Why, Private?
- 195
- 00:12:38,690 --> 00:12:40,392
- Well, sir,
- 196
- 00:12:40,425 --> 00:12:43,195
- I joined the army
- to be of service to my country
- 197
- 00:12:43,228 --> 00:12:44,596
- and my race.
- 198
- 00:12:44,628 --> 00:12:46,999
- Your only allegiance
- is to your country, Private.
- 199
- 00:12:47,532 --> 00:12:48,966
- Of course, sir.
- 200
- 00:12:48,999 --> 00:12:50,134
- However, sir, my intent
- 201
- 00:12:50,167 --> 00:12:53,104
- is to constructive with the
- other men of color, sir.
- 202
- 00:12:53,138 --> 00:12:55,407
- Well, that's a lot
- of hard work, Private.
- 203
- 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,676
- Officers are excused
- from that kind of manual labor.
- 204
- 00:12:58,710 --> 00:13:02,013
- Is that what
- drove your commission, Captain,
- 205
- 00:13:02,047 --> 00:13:03,581
- escaping manual labor?
- 206
- 00:13:05,249 --> 00:13:08,253
- I admire service over ambition.
- 207
- 00:13:08,286 --> 00:13:11,223
- So, we'll leave it at that.
- 208
- 00:13:14,392 --> 00:13:19,330
- You were with Private Walker
- last night.
- 209
- 00:13:19,364 --> 00:13:21,166
- Yes, sir.
- 210
- 00:13:21,199 --> 00:13:23,902
- Why did Private Walker
- violate the racial code?
- 211
- 00:13:26,104 --> 00:13:29,240
- Because he's a soldier
- in the U.S. Military, sir.
- 212
- 00:13:29,273 --> 00:13:30,676
- They violated his right
- as an American.
- 213
- 00:13:30,709 --> 00:13:33,712
- Private, he's a negro
- in Houston, Texas.
- 214
- 00:13:33,744 --> 00:13:35,413
- He has no rights.
- 215
- 00:13:38,450 --> 00:13:42,688
- Things are a little different
- down here in the South,
- 216
- 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,691
- Boston.
- 217
- 00:13:45,724 --> 00:13:49,427
- From now on, I'll expect you
- men to obey the racial code.
- 218
- 00:13:49,460 --> 00:13:51,529
- - Do you understand?
- - Yes, sir.
- 219
- 00:13:51,997 --> 00:13:53,431
- You're dismissed.
- 220
- 00:14:16,620 --> 00:14:18,189
- Hey!
- 221
- 00:14:19,391 --> 00:14:20,726
- Get away from that water, boy.
- 222
- 00:14:21,192 --> 00:14:23,127
- It's our water.
- 223
- 00:14:24,662 --> 00:14:26,064
- My apologies.
- 224
- 00:14:26,096 --> 00:14:28,699
- There's no sign.
- 225
- 00:14:28,733 --> 00:14:30,502
- Drink your own kind's water.
- 226
- 00:14:31,569 --> 00:14:33,572
- But where's my kind's water?
- 227
- 00:14:37,808 --> 00:14:38,743
- You sassin' me, boy?
- 228
- 00:14:38,777 --> 00:14:40,746
- - Don't put your hands on me.
- - Do what now?
- 229
- 00:14:40,778 --> 00:14:42,681
- Don't put your hands on me.
- 230
- 00:14:43,681 --> 00:14:45,316
- Clean your plough, boy.
- 231
- 00:14:47,685 --> 00:14:51,256
- Only somebody you gonna
- be pissing on today, boy,
- 232
- 00:14:51,288 --> 00:14:52,523
- is yourself.
- 233
- 00:14:58,430 --> 00:15:00,399
- We got guns too.
- 234
- 00:15:04,402 --> 00:15:06,372
- Next time it ain't going to
- spit, it's going to be blood.
- 235
- 00:15:08,239 --> 00:15:11,744
- You ain't gonna be wiping it off
- 'cause you'll be dead...
- 236
- 00:15:12,744 --> 00:15:14,213
- Nigger.
- 237
- 00:15:15,613 --> 00:15:16,749
- You too.
- 238
- 00:15:19,149 --> 00:15:21,218
- At ease.
- 239
- 00:15:21,252 --> 00:15:22,521
- Let's go, boys.
- 240
- 00:15:50,681 --> 00:15:52,350
- All right, Boston.
- 241
- 00:15:55,152 --> 00:15:56,687
- - Evening, Sergeants.
- - Evening, Boston.
- 242
- 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,758
- - Enjoying yourself, Private?
- - Oh, yes, sir, First Sergeant.
- 243
- 00:15:59,791 --> 00:16:01,527
- Someone did
- a great thing for us.
- 244
- 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,198
- You know, I've been in
- the army for a long time
- 245
- 00:16:07,231 --> 00:16:09,700
- and I knows enough to know
- something about you don't add up.
- 246
- 00:16:12,537 --> 00:16:14,605
- I don't know
- what you mean, First Sergeant.
- 247
- 00:16:15,907 --> 00:16:18,176
- This act you're putting on,
- 248
- 00:16:18,209 --> 00:16:20,878
- walking different,
- talking different.
- 249
- 00:16:20,912 --> 00:16:23,114
- I'm not acting, First Sergeant.
- 250
- 00:16:25,182 --> 00:16:27,284
- - Excuse me.
- - I didn't dismiss you.
- 251
- 00:16:33,191 --> 00:16:35,293
- Dismissed.
- 252
- 00:16:43,935 --> 00:16:45,637
- Why are you so hard
- on that boy?
- 253
- 00:16:47,272 --> 00:16:50,175
- You know who he reminds me of?
- 254
- 00:16:50,207 --> 00:16:51,476
- - Who?
- - Fagen.
- 255
- 00:16:54,278 --> 00:16:56,213
- That Black motherfucker
- did desert
- 256
- 00:16:56,247 --> 00:16:59,551
- and join the Filipino army,
- fought against his own damn country and us.
- 257
- 00:16:59,584 --> 00:17:00,786
- Yep.
- 258
- 00:17:02,186 --> 00:17:04,523
- Why Boston remind you of him?
- 259
- 00:17:04,555 --> 00:17:08,259
- I don't think Fagen believed
- he was a nigger,
- 260
- 00:17:08,292 --> 00:17:09,594
- just like him.
- 261
- 00:17:12,397 --> 00:17:13,764
- Let's go play some tonk.
- 262
- 00:17:34,985 --> 00:17:36,321
- You know any Eubie Blake?
- 263
- 00:17:43,828 --> 00:17:45,864
- Very nice.
- 264
- 00:17:45,897 --> 00:17:48,633
- You know, I've seen him play in
- New York on numerous occasions.
- 265
- 00:17:48,666 --> 00:17:50,202
- You've seen Eubie Blake?
- 266
- 00:17:50,234 --> 00:17:53,271
- Yes, ma'am,
- and Scott Joplin as well.
- 267
- 00:17:53,303 --> 00:17:54,705
- What about Jimmy Earl?
- 268
- 00:17:54,738 --> 00:17:55,639
- You know about Jimmy Earl?
- 269
- 00:17:55,674 --> 00:17:58,609
- I listen to
- Talking Machine recordings.
- 270
- 00:18:10,988 --> 00:18:12,456
- You sound just like him.
- 271
- 00:18:13,925 --> 00:18:14,960
- Are you playing for us tonight?
- 272
- 00:18:20,965 --> 00:18:22,701
- Come on now, Marie.
- 273
- 00:18:27,438 --> 00:18:30,774
- - So you're not playing for us tonight?
- - No.
- 274
- 00:18:30,808 --> 00:18:33,445
- They dropped me last minute.
- 275
- 00:18:33,477 --> 00:18:35,446
- Said they wanted men
- to play for men.
- 276
- 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:36,815
- Didn't want me to distract.
- 277
- 00:18:36,848 --> 00:18:40,719
- - Then why are you here?
- - To distract.
- 278
- 00:18:40,752 --> 00:18:42,854
- So maybe
- I can help you out with that?
- 279
- 00:18:42,887 --> 00:18:44,723
- What you mean?
- 280
- 00:18:44,755 --> 00:18:46,890
- - May I have this dance?
- - Why should I?
- 281
- 00:18:46,924 --> 00:18:48,260
- 'Cause you've got
- a score to settle.
- 282
- 00:19:24,962 --> 00:19:26,965
- Looks like
- you took back the night.
- 283
- 00:19:26,997 --> 00:19:28,632
- You might be right.
- 284
- 00:20:17,482 --> 00:20:20,018
- What happened?
- Let's keep dancing.
- 285
- 00:20:21,418 --> 00:20:22,720
- Uh, I got to get home.
- 286
- 00:20:24,921 --> 00:20:26,023
- May I walk you?
- 287
- 00:20:45,576 --> 00:20:47,512
- Do you like living here?
- 288
- 00:20:47,544 --> 00:20:50,614
- Lot of folks is leaving,
- thought about migration.
- 289
- 00:20:50,648 --> 00:20:54,151
- - Why do you stay?
- - My home.
- 290
- 00:20:56,521 --> 00:20:58,490
- Ever think of going to New York?
- 291
- 00:20:59,791 --> 00:21:01,760
- An artist like you
- could make a life there.
- 292
- 00:21:01,792 --> 00:21:05,397
- Hmm, New York City.
- 293
- 00:21:05,429 --> 00:21:07,664
- That's so far away
- from what I know,
- 294
- 00:21:07,697 --> 00:21:09,400
- I have to believe it's there.
- 295
- 00:21:09,434 --> 00:21:12,070
- like heaven.
- 296
- 00:21:12,102 --> 00:21:14,138
- You got people there?
- 297
- 00:21:14,171 --> 00:21:16,874
- - Most dead.
- - Mmm.
- 298
- 00:21:16,907 --> 00:21:18,877
- My mom passed a few years ago.
- 299
- 00:21:18,909 --> 00:21:21,079
- My daddy just this spring.
- 300
- 00:21:21,111 --> 00:21:23,415
- He's a preacher.
- 301
- 00:21:23,447 --> 00:21:26,150
- - Is that where you learned the piano?
- - Yes.
- 302
- 00:21:26,184 --> 00:21:29,620
- My daddy and I, we fell out.
- 303
- 00:21:29,654 --> 00:21:30,689
- What happened?
- 304
- 00:21:33,224 --> 00:21:36,160
- This is my place.
- 305
- 00:21:36,194 --> 00:21:37,896
- Thanks for the walk.
- 306
- 00:21:39,563 --> 00:21:41,733
- My pleasure,
- 307
- 00:21:41,765 --> 00:21:44,468

- Marie. Downing.
- 309
- 00:21:48,705 --> 00:21:50,408
- William Boston.
- 310
- 00:21:53,543 --> 00:21:54,879
- Goodnight, William.
- 311
- 00:21:57,247 --> 00:21:58,850
- Goodnight, Marie.
- 312
- 00:22:09,793 --> 00:22:11,662
- This is chief of
- police, Carter Hammond.
- 313
- 00:22:12,863 --> 00:22:14,865
- Now, he assures me
- 314
- 00:22:14,898 --> 00:22:18,669
- that you will have no further
- problems with the Houston police.
- 315
- 00:22:18,703 --> 00:22:21,138
- As military police
- in the city of Houston,
- 316
- 00:22:21,171 --> 00:22:23,941
- you are to ensure order
- 317

- of the men
- of the 24th Infantry only.
- 318
- 00:22:26,644 --> 00:22:29,614
- We'll issue nightsticks
- but no side on it.
- 319
- 00:22:29,647 --> 00:22:32,783
- Any trouble
- that you might encounter,
- 320
- 00:22:32,817 --> 00:22:35,553
- report it immediately
- to your new corporal,
- 321
- 00:22:35,586 --> 00:22:38,022
- Boston.
- 322
- 00:22:38,054 --> 00:22:40,725
- - Any questions?
- - No, sir.
- 323
- 00:22:40,757 --> 00:22:42,526
- You can stand at ease.
- 324
- 00:22:45,596 --> 00:22:46,865
- - Corporal.
- - Corporal.
- 325
- 00:22:48,366 --> 00:22:51,269
- Hey, you know the best thing about this?
- He'll have provost duty now.
- 326
- 00:22:51,301 --> 00:22:52,637
- What's that?
- 327
- 00:22:52,669 --> 00:22:55,539
- We gonna be in town
- every day.
- 328
- 00:22:55,572 --> 00:22:56,874
- Gonna get me a little hand.
- 329
- 00:22:56,907 --> 00:22:58,642
- You trace that gal of yours?
- 330
- 00:22:58,676 --> 00:22:59,711
- Oh, yeah,
- that piano-playing gal.
- 331
- 00:22:59,744 --> 00:23:01,812
- She still got you
- chasing behind that jelly roll?
- 332
- 00:23:01,846 --> 00:23:04,883
- - Bells are ringing for me and my gal.
- - Yeah.
- 333
- 00:23:04,916 --> 00:23:06,952
- Hey, well, good luck
- with them crackers.
- 334
- 00:23:08,084 --> 00:23:10,954
- Corporal Half Falooda.
- 335
- 00:23:10,987 --> 00:23:14,725
- You can fool everybody else
- with your Houdini,
- 336
- 00:23:14,759 --> 00:23:17,796
- but you can't fool old Sarge.
- 337
- 00:23:18,663 --> 00:23:20,031
- Top Sergeant.
- 338
- 00:23:20,063 --> 00:23:21,733
- Encouraging the men, sir.
- 339
- 00:23:21,765 --> 00:23:24,735
- Being an MP ain't no walk in the
- park, sir. No, sir.
- 340
- 00:23:24,769 --> 00:23:25,770
- That's correct.
- 341
- 00:23:25,803 --> 00:23:28,138
- I'd like a private word
- with Corporal Boston.
- 342
- 00:23:29,005 --> 00:23:30,175
- Yes, sir.
- 343
- 00:23:33,610 --> 00:23:34,912
- Corporal, sir?
- 344
- 00:23:36,947 --> 00:23:38,749
- You're the only man I have
- 345
- 00:23:38,782 --> 00:23:41,119
- that understands both sides.
- 346
- 00:23:41,151 --> 00:23:42,719
- You can make
- a difference here, William.
- 347
- 00:23:44,288 --> 00:23:46,691
- The police brutalize us, sir.
- 348
- 00:23:46,724 --> 00:23:48,592
- We need more than night sticks.
- 349
- 00:23:48,626 --> 00:23:52,998
- I report everything that happens
- here to the War Department.
- 350
- 00:23:54,231 --> 00:23:56,968
- What I need from you
- 351
- 00:23:57,001 --> 00:23:59,771
- is to keep the men safe
- and in order.
- 352
- 00:23:59,803 --> 00:24:01,805
- You do that,
- 353
- 00:24:01,839 --> 00:24:05,243
- and I will personally
- protect you from any trouble.
- 354
- 00:24:05,275 --> 00:24:08,079
- All we want, sir,
- 355
- 00:24:08,111 --> 00:24:11,782
- is to be treated as soldiers
- and as men.
- 356
- 00:24:14,150 --> 00:24:16,120
- That is certainly
- a fair request.
- 357
- 00:24:19,956 --> 00:24:22,159
- Thank you, sir.
- 358
- 00:24:22,193 --> 00:24:24,362
- Chief, Captain.
- 359
- 00:24:26,997 --> 00:24:28,766
- Dead man walking.
- 360
- 00:24:40,211 --> 00:24:41,780
- Ah!
- 361
- 00:24:44,881 --> 00:24:46,083
- Ah!
- 362
- 00:25:00,798 --> 00:25:02,667
- I wanna know
- what your problem is.
- 363
- 00:25:07,338 --> 00:25:08,873
- Ooh!
- 364
- 00:25:11,975 --> 00:25:14,878
- You see this here?
- 365
- 00:25:14,911 --> 00:25:17,781
- I got it moving up San Juan Hill
- 366
- 00:25:17,814 --> 00:25:20,017
- alongside Teddy Roosevelt.
- 367
- 00:25:22,153 --> 00:25:24,889
- Gave it everything we had.
- 368
- 00:25:24,921 --> 00:25:26,323
- Courage,
- 369
- 00:25:26,357 --> 00:25:28,693
- blood,
- 370
- 00:25:28,725 --> 00:25:31,195
- everything.
- 371
- 00:25:31,227 --> 00:25:36,199
- In the end, it was our
- dead black bodies on the ground,
- 372
- 00:25:36,233 --> 00:25:37,902
- and my eye...
- 373
- 00:25:39,369 --> 00:25:41,773
- That lying son of a bitch
- 374
- 00:25:41,805 --> 00:25:44,174
- sailed off to the White House,
- 375
- 00:25:45,042 --> 00:25:47,811
- took our credit...
- 376
- 00:25:48,745 --> 00:25:50,314
- We don't matter, boy.
- 377
- 00:25:52,782 --> 00:25:54,051
- Bullshit.
- 378
- 00:25:55,186 --> 00:25:57,789
- We do matter.
- 379
- 00:25:57,821 --> 00:25:59,456
- We keep proving ourselves,
- 380
- 00:25:59,490 --> 00:26:02,359
- maybe things will change.
- 381
- 00:26:02,392 --> 00:26:06,830
- Only thing worse than a
- dumb nigger is a blind one.
- 382
- 00:26:06,863 --> 00:26:10,167
- - I didn't dismiss you yet.
- - Yes, sir, First Sergeant.
- 383
- 00:26:22,012 --> 00:26:26,117
- Everything you've seen
- here so far,
- 384
- 00:26:26,149 --> 00:26:29,019
- that's child's play.
- 385
- 00:26:29,052 --> 00:26:30,253
- What you gonna do
- 386
- 00:26:30,286 --> 00:26:32,856
- when the fire get hot?
- 387
- 00:26:34,058 --> 00:26:35,859
- You're gonna run back
- to your France
- 388
- 00:26:35,892 --> 00:26:38,429
- and tell them you helped
- with the negro cause?
- 389
- 00:26:40,531 --> 00:26:41,866
- Nigger.
- 390
- 00:26:44,267 --> 00:26:46,970
- Next time you get an itch
- 391
- 00:26:47,003 --> 00:26:48,371
- and want to talk to me,
- 392
- 00:26:48,405 --> 00:26:51,442
- you better look around.
- 393
- 00:26:51,475 --> 00:26:54,111
- You got too many problems
- 394
- 00:26:54,145 --> 00:26:56,181
- to be asking me
- what my problem is.
- 395
- 00:27:00,885 --> 00:27:04,288
- Ah, dismissed.
- 396
- 00:27:04,321 --> 00:27:05,990
- Actor.
- 397
- 00:27:28,946 --> 00:27:32,149
- I received a message
- from my brother Ben.
- 398
- 00:27:32,183 --> 00:27:35,253
- Apparently, our father is doing
- quite poorly.
- 399
- 00:27:35,285 --> 00:27:37,554
- Did your brother
- say anything else?
- 400
- 00:27:37,588 --> 00:27:39,124
- Just more of the same.
- 401
- 00:27:40,890 --> 00:27:45,162
- "Wasting your career
- commanding colored troops,
- 402
- 00:27:45,196 --> 00:27:47,031
- "ruining the family legacy."
- 403
- 00:27:47,063 --> 00:27:49,801
- You're never going to get
- what you deserve
- 404
- 00:27:49,833 --> 00:27:52,836
- as long as you work with negros.
- 405
- 00:27:52,869 --> 00:27:53,905
- You'll retire a colonel,
- 406
- 00:27:53,937 --> 00:27:57,475
- instead of retiring a general,
- like your brother.
- 407
- 00:27:58,542 --> 00:28:00,244
- My brother...
- 408
- 00:28:03,513 --> 00:28:04,815
- The general,
- 409
- 00:28:06,984 --> 00:28:10,455
- he could leverage his position
- with the War Department
- 410
- 00:28:11,589 --> 00:28:14,392
- and get the 24th over there,
- 411
- 00:28:15,225 --> 00:28:17,294
- in the fight, in the war.
- 412
- 00:28:17,328 --> 00:28:19,497
- He's never going to do that.
- 413
- 00:28:26,536 --> 00:28:28,305
- Then I'll retire a colonel.
- 414
- 00:28:34,477 --> 00:28:36,046
- Hi.
- 415
- 00:28:36,546 --> 00:28:37,548
- William.
- 416
- 00:28:38,581 --> 00:28:40,350
- I couldn't stop thinking
- about you.
- 417
- 00:28:42,352 --> 00:28:44,120
- - Thank you.
- - May I come in.
- 418
- 00:28:44,154 --> 00:28:45,590
- That's not a good idea.
- 419
- 00:28:45,622 --> 00:28:49,226
- Well, can you
- come out here?
- 420
- 00:28:49,260 --> 00:28:51,061
- William, I have a guest.
- 421
- 00:28:54,365 --> 00:28:57,535
- Corporal Fancy.
- What you doing here, boy?
- 422
- 00:29:01,405 --> 00:29:03,975
- - Is she your girl?
- - What you think?
- 423
- 00:29:04,475 --> 00:29:06,878
- Hmm? Good night.
- 424
- 00:29:11,482 --> 00:29:15,987
- Mmm-hmm.
- 425
- 00:29:16,020 --> 00:29:19,056
- Boy, you should have
- seen your face.
- 426
- 00:29:19,089 --> 00:29:21,524
- Can't believe you bought
- that gal flowers.
- 427
- 00:29:21,558 --> 00:29:23,494
- You know what she did?
- 428
- 00:29:23,526 --> 00:29:25,295
- Slammed the door in your face,
- 429
- 00:29:25,329 --> 00:29:27,999
- Then she threw 'em out.
- 430
- 00:29:28,032 --> 00:29:29,934
- What are you talking about?
- 431
- 00:29:29,966 --> 00:29:31,534
- Fool ass Boston.
- 432
- 00:29:31,568 --> 00:29:33,537
- Didn't know his best gal
- was my little whore.
- 433
- 00:29:33,570 --> 00:29:35,373
- Oh, shit.
- 434
- 00:29:38,274 --> 00:29:40,378
- Get up. Come on.
- 435
- 00:29:40,410 --> 00:29:42,880
- - You ready now?
- - Come on.
- 436
- 00:29:53,991 --> 00:29:55,459
- Enough!
- 437
- 00:29:55,492 --> 00:29:57,295
- Get out of my way.
- Hey. Hey!
- 438
- 00:29:57,328 --> 00:29:59,664
- Sons of bitches.
- Get your black asses up!
- 439
- 00:29:59,696 --> 00:30:01,599
- Let me tell you
- something right now.
- 440
- 00:30:01,631 --> 00:30:05,268
- Hey, I'm gonna cool
- you two bucks off. Huh?
- 441
- 00:30:05,301 --> 00:30:07,105
- You ready for that?
- Come with me.
- 442
- 00:30:15,311 --> 00:30:17,215
- Oh, shit.
- 443
- 00:30:23,219 --> 00:30:25,422
- What's taking you
- so long, Private?
- 444
- 00:30:25,455 --> 00:30:29,961
- Sir, that's another man.
- 445
- 00:30:29,994 --> 00:30:31,929
- You wanna be next?
- 446
- 00:30:33,263 --> 00:30:34,698
- Tie the goddamn ropes.
- 447
- 00:30:37,767 --> 00:30:40,103
- Welcome to my world, boy.
- 448
- 00:30:40,137 --> 00:30:42,540
- You ain't so fancy now,
- huh, Uncle Tom?
- 449
- 00:30:43,340 --> 00:30:44,707
- Welcome to my world.
- 450
- 00:30:44,742 --> 00:30:48,178
- - Franklin, you tie those nice and tight.
- - Yeah, you tie them ropes.
- 451
- 00:30:48,212 --> 00:30:51,215
- Listen to your master, boy.
- 452
- 00:30:51,247 --> 00:30:53,517
- Why do you do this
- to yourself, Walker?
- 453
- 00:31:11,502 --> 00:31:13,204
- Don't you look at me.
- 454
- 00:31:13,236 --> 00:31:14,437
- Don't you look at me, Private.
- 455
- 00:31:14,471 --> 00:31:17,241
- - You keep those eyes off me.
- - Yes, sir.
- 456
- 00:31:29,619 --> 00:31:31,723
- I never did like grapefruit...
- 457
- 00:31:34,224 --> 00:31:36,093
- But my mother made me
- eat them.
- 458
- 00:31:38,762 --> 00:31:41,099
- Now you gonna
- hate them too, boy.
- 459
- 00:31:55,111 --> 00:31:57,281
- Jesus Christ.
- 460
- 00:32:23,307 --> 00:32:27,812
- Corporal, I promoted you so that you
- would be an example for the other men.
- 461
- 00:32:27,844 --> 00:32:30,313
- - You understand that?
- - Yes, sir.
- 462
- 00:32:32,582 --> 00:32:34,084
- Then you're dismissed.
- 463
- 00:32:55,606 --> 00:32:57,273
- He was fighting
- over a whore, sir.
- 464
- 00:32:57,307 --> 00:32:58,709
- I'm well aware
- of that, Captain.
- 465
- 00:32:58,742 --> 00:33:01,311
- Boston is no different
- than the others.
- 466
- 00:33:01,344 --> 00:33:03,179
- They're all inferior,
- 467
- 00:33:03,213 --> 00:33:04,548
- and it disturbs me, Colonel,
- 468
- 00:33:04,580 --> 00:33:07,318
- when you start to think that
- they are more than what they are.
- 469
- 00:33:07,350 --> 00:33:09,853
- I'm curious
- about something, Abner.
- 470
- 00:33:09,887 --> 00:33:13,457
- Is it his education
- that makes you feel inferior?
- 471
- 00:33:19,362 --> 00:33:22,765
- - Am I dismissed, Colonel?
- - No, you are not.
- 472
- 00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:24,869
- That horse shit today,
- 473
- 00:33:24,901 --> 00:33:27,804
- I could have
- you court martialed.
- 474
- 00:33:27,838 --> 00:33:29,706
- At the very least,
- stripped of your rank.
- 475
- 00:33:31,742 --> 00:33:34,678
- - Are we clear?
- - Yes, sir.
- 476
- 00:33:37,714 --> 00:33:39,282
- Get out of my sight.
- 477
- 00:33:55,765 --> 00:33:58,701
- Walker don't mean
- nothing to her.
- 478
- 00:33:58,734 --> 00:34:01,338
- - Don't, Joe.
- - Ain't too common.
- 479
- 00:34:01,370 --> 00:34:04,841
- I mean, look at you.
- The way you carry yourself,
- 480
- 00:34:04,875 --> 00:34:07,511
- the words you be putting out,
- 481
- 00:34:07,543 --> 00:34:09,379
- boy, you something different.
- 482
- 00:34:10,980 --> 00:34:13,316
- - Don't tell me what I know now.
- - No, thank you.
- 483
- 00:34:13,817 --> 00:34:16,253
- Boston! Boston!
- 484
- 00:34:16,286 --> 00:34:18,455
- A man's in trouble.
- Come on, now.
- 485
- 00:34:18,487 --> 00:34:19,790
- Come on.
- 486
- 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,210
- He wouldn't get behind me,
- so I gutted him.
- 487
- 00:34:39,243 --> 00:34:40,277
- Son of a bitch,
- you lying.
- 488
- 00:34:40,310 --> 00:34:42,779
- - He's ahead of you.
- - Well, your boy's dead now.
- 489
- 00:34:42,813 --> 00:34:44,915
- Drop the knife.
- 490
- 00:34:47,918 --> 00:34:49,654
- Joe!
- 491
- 00:34:50,987 --> 00:34:52,723
- Backup's gone now, boy.
- 492
- 00:34:52,755 --> 00:34:54,391
- You ain't so tough now,
- is you?
- 493
- 00:34:55,891 --> 00:34:57,727
- I'm escorting you
- to the police.
- 494
- 00:35:00,264 --> 00:35:03,768
- For the last time,
- you drop that damn knife.
- 495
- 00:35:05,469 --> 00:35:07,605
- Y'all boys want
- some soldier this time?
- 496
- 00:35:07,638 --> 00:35:09,940
- Hey! Hey!
- 497
- 00:35:09,973 --> 00:35:11,708
- - He's got a razor.
- - Walker, get back.
- 498
- 00:35:11,741 --> 00:35:13,243
- Who wants to get
- behind me now?
- 499
- 00:35:13,277 --> 00:35:15,012
- Y'all gonna let
- this boy arrest me.
- 500
- 00:35:15,045 --> 00:35:17,615
- - This nigger's crazy.
- - Listen to me.
- 501
- 00:35:17,647 --> 00:35:19,882
- You kill us,
- you don't get paid.
- 502
- 00:35:19,915 --> 00:35:23,353
- You won't see a plug nickel while
- they investigate what happened here?
- 503
- 00:35:23,386 --> 00:35:25,888
- Quartermaster will shut
- this place down for months.
- 504
- 00:35:25,922 --> 00:35:27,925
- Let us pass.
- 505
- 00:35:27,958 --> 00:35:32,296
- Colonel Norton will see to it
- that pay windows reopen today.
- 506
- 00:35:32,328 --> 00:35:34,297
- You like this boy enough
- to not get paid.
- 507
- 00:35:34,331 --> 00:35:36,634
- You want to feed
- your families? Back up!
- 508
- 00:35:36,667 --> 00:35:39,569
- - Tommy Lee ain't worth it.
- - He ain't worth it.
- 509
- 00:35:39,603 --> 00:35:41,539
- Miller, pick that man up.
- 510
- 00:35:43,507 --> 00:35:44,909
- We just gonna stand here?
- 511
- 00:36:01,924 --> 00:36:03,693
- What the hell
- is going on here?
- 512
- 00:36:03,726 --> 00:36:06,730
- Chief Hammond,
- as ordered by yourself
- 513
- 00:36:06,763 --> 00:36:08,732
- and Lieutenant Colonel
- Charles Norton,
- 514
- 00:36:08,764 --> 00:36:12,502
- I have arrested this man for
- threatening members of the 24th Infantry
- 515
- 00:36:12,536 --> 00:36:14,438
- and murdering
- a local citizen.
- 516
- 00:36:28,819 --> 00:36:29,920
- That true?
- 517
- 00:36:32,589 --> 00:36:34,891
- God damn right.
- 518
- 00:36:34,924 --> 00:36:37,327
- This is the murder weapon.
- Walker...
- 519
- 00:36:41,031 --> 00:36:43,034
- I place him
- in your custody, sir.
- 520
- 00:36:45,569 --> 00:36:47,672
- Yours now, boy,
- 521
- 00:36:48,839 --> 00:36:51,542
- - Arrest him.
- - All right, let's go.
- 522
- 00:36:51,574 --> 00:36:53,944
- Not him. Tommy Lee.
- 523
- 00:36:55,411 --> 00:36:56,647
- What?
- 524
- 00:36:58,081 --> 00:36:59,983
- You arresting a white man
- 525
- 00:37:00,016 --> 00:37:01,819
- for killing
- that God damn nigger?
- 526
- 00:37:01,851 --> 00:37:03,119
- That's an order, Cross.
- 527
- 00:37:03,152 --> 00:37:05,788
- Them solder boys
- been shitting all over us.
- 528
- 00:37:05,822 --> 00:37:08,392
- You shut the hell up
- or I'll fire you
- 529
- 00:37:08,424 --> 00:37:10,093
- as sure as I'm standing here.
- 530
- 00:37:36,420 --> 00:37:38,688
- <i>Twenty men, sir.</i>
- 531
- 00:37:38,721 --> 00:37:42,825
- Outnumbered by 20 against four!
- 532
- 00:37:42,859 --> 00:37:46,897
- Corporal, I watched
- a man die, sir.
- 533
- 00:37:46,929 --> 00:37:49,433
- - I had to look in his face, sir.
- - Corporal!
- 534
- 00:37:49,465 --> 00:37:51,969
- Lower your voice when you
- are talking to the Colonel.
- 535
- 00:37:58,507 --> 00:38:00,743
- We need side arms, sir.
- 536
- 00:38:00,777 --> 00:38:03,614
- Chief Hammond will not
- allow it.
- 537
- 00:38:05,714 --> 00:38:07,917
- William,
- 538
- 00:38:07,951 --> 00:38:10,987
- the circumstances here
- are not lost on any of us.
- 539
- 00:38:13,556 --> 00:38:15,792
- Do we have to do it
- this way?
- 540
- 00:38:15,826 --> 00:38:18,795
- The police want to kill you.
- 541
- 00:38:18,828 --> 00:38:20,096
- Walk with me.
- 542
- 00:38:23,467 --> 00:38:25,069
- If you had a gun today,
- 543
- 00:38:25,835 --> 00:38:27,971
- it would be
- much worse for you.
- 544
- 00:38:29,605 --> 00:38:31,040
- You have to believe that.
- 545
- 00:38:34,076 --> 00:38:37,415
- Hey, y'all. Here comes the man of the day.
- 546
- 00:38:45,889 --> 00:38:48,091
- What is this, sir?
- 547
- 00:38:48,123 --> 00:38:49,959
- I believe you're
- the first negro
- 548
- 00:38:49,993 --> 00:38:55,132
- to ever arrest a white man
- for murdering another negro.
- 549
- 00:38:55,165 --> 00:38:57,167
- Congratulations.
- 550
- 00:38:57,199 --> 00:38:59,168
- Three cheers for Boston.
- Hip, hip...
- 551
- 00:38:59,201 --> 00:39:00,904
- - Hooray!
- - Hip, hip...
- 552
- 00:39:00,936 --> 00:39:02,639
- - Hooray!
- - Hip, hip...
- 553
- 00:39:02,672 --> 00:39:03,874
- Hooray!
- 554
- 00:39:16,652 --> 00:39:18,922
- Why did you put yourself
- out there like that?
- 555
- 00:39:22,157 --> 00:39:24,261
- - I'm a negro.
- - No, You ain't no negro.
- 556
- 00:39:24,293 --> 00:39:26,797
- - You's a lighty.
- - Is that why you hate me?
- 557
- 00:39:26,830 --> 00:39:28,799
- - You think I got it easier?
- - You God damn right,
- 558
- 00:39:28,831 --> 00:39:30,000
- you got it easier than me.
- 559
- 00:39:30,032 --> 00:39:31,935
- Look at you, boy.
- It's hard for me.
- 560
- 00:39:31,967 --> 00:39:34,036
- My mom and my papa
- were born as slaves.
- 561
- 00:39:34,069 --> 00:39:35,437
- I don't want to hear
- that shit.
- 562
- 00:39:35,471 --> 00:39:38,942
- In the proclamation they became
- teachers at the Freedman's Bureau.
- 563
- 00:39:40,043 --> 00:39:42,146
- He died in Atlanta in 1906.
- 564
- 00:39:44,915 --> 00:39:46,617
- You're right.
- 565
- 00:39:48,183 --> 00:39:49,486
- Yeah.
- 566
- 00:39:51,121 --> 00:39:54,057
- Their friends,
- their community...
- 567
- 00:39:54,089 --> 00:39:57,059
- They took it upon themselves
- to send me overseas
- 568
- 00:39:57,092 --> 00:39:59,830
- to educate and protect me.
- 569
- 00:40:01,730 --> 00:40:05,268
- It's the best education
- a person could get.
- 570
- 00:40:05,302 --> 00:40:08,239
- But it separated me
- from being colored in America.
- 571
- 00:40:09,605 --> 00:40:12,174
- I needed to be united
- with the legacy
- 572
- 00:40:12,208 --> 00:40:14,778
- that my parents lived for
- and died for.
- 573
- 00:40:14,810 --> 00:40:17,613
- You understand what
- I'm saying to you?
- 574
- 00:40:17,647 --> 00:40:20,750
- I needed to be united
- with the blood in my veins,
- 575
- 00:40:22,786 --> 00:40:24,188
- so I came here
- 576
- 00:40:25,621 --> 00:40:28,993
- and here is where
- I'm going to stay, Walker.
- 577
- 00:40:30,259 --> 00:40:32,161
- This is my home now.
- 578
- 00:40:33,196 --> 00:40:35,098
- Right next to you.
- 579
- 00:40:35,965 --> 00:40:38,301
- You better not be messin'.
- 580
- 00:40:38,335 --> 00:40:40,571
- 'Cause I ain't have
- much family, either.
- 581
- 00:40:41,670 --> 00:40:43,806
- So, I know what
- you're looking for.
- 582
- 00:40:46,976 --> 00:40:48,679
- I ain't touched her.
- 583
- 00:40:49,179 --> 00:40:50,947
- I was lying.
- 584
- 00:40:52,616 --> 00:40:54,083
- She ain't a whore.
- 585
- 00:40:54,116 --> 00:40:55,819
- She a proper lady.
- 586
- 00:41:05,161 --> 00:41:06,863
- I'm done.
- 587
- 00:41:06,895 --> 00:41:09,232
- Just go on back
- to your fancy book, boy.
- 588
- 00:41:29,652 --> 00:41:31,120
- May I have a word?
- 589
- 00:41:31,154 --> 00:41:32,755
- Are you following me?
- 590
- 00:41:35,157 --> 00:41:36,326
- Yes.
- 591
- 00:41:36,993 --> 00:41:38,761
- I don't like being followed.
- 592
- 00:41:38,795 --> 00:41:40,263
- I just want a moment
- of your time.
- 593
- 00:41:40,295 --> 00:41:41,897
- If this about Zeke,
- I'm a grown woman.
- 594
- 00:41:41,931 --> 00:41:44,234
- - I can speak to whoever I choose.
- - Then choose me.
- 595
- 00:41:48,304 --> 00:41:50,139
- I'd like to buy you a meal.
- 596
- 00:41:52,775 --> 00:41:54,177
- Please.
- 597
- 00:41:57,714 --> 00:41:59,183
- Yes, please.
- 598
- 00:42:01,784 --> 00:42:02,953
- Thank you.
- 599
- 00:42:05,755 --> 00:42:06,824
- Are you all right?
- 600
- 00:42:08,991 --> 00:42:12,161
- This is where
- the society coloreds eat.
- 601
- 00:42:12,194 --> 00:42:15,031
- Well, aren't we part
- of colored society?
- 602
- 00:42:16,031 --> 00:42:18,668
- Maybe you, not me.
- 603
- 00:42:20,170 --> 00:42:23,206
- All you have to do
- to be part of colored society
- 604
- 00:42:23,940 --> 00:42:25,075
- is be colored.
- 605
- 00:42:28,911 --> 00:42:30,846
- Did you really throw
- my flowers away?
- 606
- 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,749
- - Zeke tell you that?
- - Yeah.
- 607
- 00:42:32,781 --> 00:42:34,283
- Yeah, he did.
- 608
- 00:42:37,119 --> 00:42:39,223
- I didn't toss your flowers.
- 609
- 00:42:41,090 --> 00:42:43,027
- I thought they was pretty.
- 610
- 00:42:46,730 --> 00:42:49,199
- Got any other questions
- you wanna ask?
- 611
- 00:42:49,232 --> 00:42:51,668
- As a matter of fact, I do.
- 612
- 00:42:52,302 --> 00:42:56,006
- Do you like pork chops?
- 613
- 00:42:59,007 --> 00:43:01,744
- - Perfect. Sir.
- - Yes, sir.
- 614
- 00:43:01,777 --> 00:43:04,113
- Two pork chop lunches,
- please. Thank you.
- 615
- 00:43:33,810 --> 00:43:35,446
- Why you join the army?
- 616
- 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,148
- For our rights.
- 617
- 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,417
- Rights?
- 618
- 00:43:40,449 --> 00:43:44,353
- Yes. The right to life,
- 619
- 00:43:44,386 --> 00:43:47,389
- liberty, and the pursuit
- of happiness
- 620
- 00:43:49,159 --> 00:43:51,361
- That's how they say it, right?
- 621
- 00:43:51,393 --> 00:43:54,197
- Well, we ain't got none of them rights.
- 622
- 00:43:55,063 --> 00:43:57,399
- All we got is wrongs.
- 623
- 00:43:57,433 --> 00:44:00,270
- Well, if we get to fight
- for America,
- 624
- 00:44:00,302 --> 00:44:02,339
- we prove we deserve our rights.
- 625
- 00:44:04,473 --> 00:44:05,975
- What if you die?
- 626
- 00:44:08,110 --> 00:44:10,179
- Well...
- 627
- 00:44:10,212 --> 00:44:13,249
- If you die
- fighting for justice,
- 628
- 00:44:13,282 --> 00:44:16,085
- you never really die.
- 629
- 00:44:17,386 --> 00:44:19,388
- My mother used to say that
- to my father
- 630
- 00:44:19,422 --> 00:44:20,824
- and just like that too,
- you know?
- 631
- 00:44:20,857 --> 00:44:24,360
- "You never really die..."
- 632
- 00:44:27,063 --> 00:44:28,799
- Ain't you scared?
- 633
- 00:44:39,909 --> 00:44:41,311
- Not anymore.
- 634
- 00:44:44,279 --> 00:44:45,915
- William...
- 635
- 00:44:51,420 --> 00:44:53,256
- I'm not what you might think.
- 636
- 00:44:55,458 --> 00:44:57,394
- I think you're beautiful.
- 637
- 00:45:33,429 --> 00:45:34,965
- Boston.
- 638
- 00:45:39,402 --> 00:45:41,038
- Come on, boy.
- 639
- 00:45:46,342 --> 00:45:48,378
- Why'd you run off, Joe?
- 640
- 00:45:50,078 --> 00:45:53,015
- I got a telegram from home.
- 641
- 00:45:53,049 --> 00:45:56,253
- It was, uh...
- It was the fourth of July.
- 642
- 00:45:58,321 --> 00:46:01,257
- Can't nobody find my sister
- 643
- 00:46:01,657 --> 00:46:03,058
- or her baby.
- 644
- 00:46:03,092 --> 00:46:07,931
- So, of course, right after it I
- went right home to East St. Louis...
- 645
- 00:46:09,098 --> 00:46:12,168
- My mama's house.
- 646
- 00:46:12,201 --> 00:46:17,240
- It was full of bullet holes
- I mean, the whole neighborhood.
- 647
- 00:46:17,272 --> 00:46:20,176
- It looked like Admiral Dewey
- blowed it up!
- 648
- 00:46:23,045 --> 00:46:27,283
- A white mob came through there
- like a devil cyclone, killing...
- 649
- 00:46:37,427 --> 00:46:39,096
- And burning.
- 650
- 00:46:50,172 --> 00:46:51,475
- Here.
- 651
- 00:46:52,976 --> 00:46:54,244
- Take this
- 652
- 00:46:56,145 --> 00:46:57,547
- What is this?
- 653
- 00:46:57,580 --> 00:46:59,581
- It's mojo.
- 654
- 00:46:59,614 --> 00:47:01,450
- - It's for protection.
- - Protection?
- 655
- 00:47:03,552 --> 00:47:05,054
- I thought that's what
- you were.
- 656
- 00:47:10,993 --> 00:47:12,696
- You can't fight them and win.
- 657
- 00:47:14,230 --> 00:47:16,132
- They too strong.
- 658
- 00:47:16,799 --> 00:47:19,201
- When I see 'em coming, man,
- 659
- 00:47:19,601 --> 00:47:21,471
- I freeze.
- 660
- 00:47:21,503 --> 00:47:23,373
- Can't move a muscle.
- 661
- 00:47:23,406 --> 00:47:25,542
- I could fight over in France,
- 662
- 00:47:25,574 --> 00:47:28,244
- I ain't afraid of them
- but them white folks here...
- 663
- 00:47:29,712 --> 00:47:32,449
- Oh, they monsters.
- 664
- 00:47:32,482 --> 00:47:34,351
- And they scare me to death.
- 665
- 00:47:41,223 --> 00:47:42,558
- I've seen it
- first hand.
- 666
- 00:47:44,259 --> 00:47:46,662
- After they freed them
- burrheads,
- 667
- 00:47:46,696 --> 00:47:49,598
- they swarmed Fort Bend
- like a sea of locusts.
- 668
- 00:47:52,368 --> 00:47:54,571
- They ruin
- every God damn thing.
- 669
- 00:47:56,172 --> 00:48:00,076
- Nigger schools,
- nigger colleges...
- 670
- 00:48:00,109 --> 00:48:03,045
- High sheriff, tax collector.
- 671
- 00:48:03,078 --> 00:48:05,114
- They both God damn niggers.
- 672
- 00:48:07,784 --> 00:48:10,520
- White man couldn't even
- take a shit
- 673
- 00:48:10,552 --> 00:48:12,788
- without some
- tar baby coming in
- 674
- 00:48:12,822 --> 00:48:15,125
- right behind wanting
- to smell it.
- 675
- 00:48:21,797 --> 00:48:23,632
- My Pa...
- 676
- 00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,603
- he sittin'
- at that kitchen table,
- 677
- 00:48:28,837 --> 00:48:30,673
- he lost his forearm.
- 678
- 00:48:31,706 --> 00:48:33,342
- He was crying.
- 679
- 00:48:34,810 --> 00:48:36,746
- He had this in his hand.
- 680
- 00:48:40,148 --> 00:48:42,085
- I didn't know
- 681
- 00:48:42,118 --> 00:48:44,353
- if he was going to use it
- on himself...
- 682
- 00:48:46,322 --> 00:48:48,025
- or me.
- 683
- 00:48:54,230 --> 00:48:56,699
- "If you ain't better
- than a nigger
- 684
- 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,536
- "you as good as dead."
- 685
- 00:49:13,782 --> 00:49:15,118
- What are we gonna do, Jimmy?
- 686
- 00:49:19,188 --> 00:49:21,657
- We're gonna take
- our God damn country back.
- 687
- 00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:27,297
- - Ben.
- - Forgive the surprise visit, Charles
- 688
- 00:49:27,330 --> 00:49:28,799
- Always
- a pleasure, sir.
- 689
- 00:49:31,134 --> 00:49:32,235
- Father's dead.
- 690
- 00:49:34,337 --> 00:49:36,373
- He passed away
- two days ago.
- 691
- 00:49:37,672 --> 00:49:39,708
- I wanted to
- tell you in person.
- 692
- 00:49:42,911 --> 00:49:45,415
- - Did he suffer?
- - No.
- 693
- 00:49:49,451 --> 00:49:51,654
- I'd like to make you an offer.
- 694
- 00:49:51,686 --> 00:49:54,123
- A transfer to
- the War Department,
- 695
- 00:49:54,156 --> 00:49:56,492
- Overseeing combat soldiers
- in France.
- 696
- 00:49:56,525 --> 00:49:58,393
- This is great news.
- 697
- 00:49:58,427 --> 00:50:01,231
- The 24th Infantry
- is a crack unit.
- 698
- 00:50:01,264 --> 00:50:05,368
- - We are drilled, trained...
- - The offer is for you,
- 699
- 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,605
- not your men.
- 700
- 00:50:08,638 --> 00:50:13,509
- Your decision to stand beside these
- negro troops will end in disappointment.
- 701
- 00:50:16,411 --> 00:50:18,714
- That was always
- Father's concern.
- 702
- 00:50:26,221 --> 00:50:28,657
- When father would speak
- to me
- 703
- 00:50:28,690 --> 00:50:32,328
- about my commanding
- colored troops,
- 704
- 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:36,232
- he always said the same thing,
- that it would get me nowhere in my career.
- 705
- 00:50:38,301 --> 00:50:39,802
- And now...
- 706
- 00:50:41,536 --> 00:50:44,174
- you're here
- to take his place.
- 707
- 00:50:45,340 --> 00:50:46,743
- I can't escape this, can I?
- 708
- 00:50:49,478 --> 00:50:52,615
- All we want is
- what's best for you.
- 709
- 00:50:52,647 --> 00:50:56,451
- Tell me the issues
- with my men will be addressed.
- 710
- 00:50:56,485 --> 00:50:59,189
- These boys are not our men.
- 711
- 00:50:59,889 --> 00:51:01,657
- They're the cleanup crew.
- 712
- 00:51:01,690 --> 00:51:03,525
- They're men!
- 713
- 00:51:03,558 --> 00:51:05,394
- They are my men!
- 714
- 00:51:06,761 --> 00:51:08,597
- And they have honor.
- 715
- 00:51:08,630 --> 00:51:10,399
- They deserve better than this.
- 716
- 00:51:16,938 --> 00:51:20,877
- I always argued to Father
- that you were a good soldier.
- 717
- 00:51:20,909 --> 00:51:23,212
- That you were dealt a bad hand.
- 718
- 00:51:23,246 --> 00:51:25,682
- But you did the best
- you could.
- 719
- 00:51:25,714 --> 00:51:29,651
- We're the only ones
- left, Charles.
- 720
- 00:51:29,685 --> 00:51:32,489
- I'm counting on you
- to make our family proud.
- 721
- 00:52:05,855 --> 00:52:06,856
- Gentlemen,
- 722
- 00:52:08,056 --> 00:52:10,959
- I present your new
- commanding officer.
- 723
- 00:52:10,993 --> 00:52:13,462
- Major Abner Lockhart.
- 724
- 00:52:13,929 --> 00:52:15,831
- Major Lockhart,
- 725
- 00:52:16,866 --> 00:52:18,268
- the battalion is yours.
- 726
- 00:52:25,975 --> 00:52:28,344
- - First, Sergeant Hayes.
- - Sir.
- 727
- 00:52:29,311 --> 00:52:31,413
- Dismiss the men.
- 728
- 00:52:31,714 --> 00:52:33,282
- Sir.
- 729
- 00:52:40,322 --> 00:52:43,525
- All right, company.
- Dismissed.
- 730
- 00:52:45,728 --> 00:52:47,998
- - Thank you, Colonel.
- - Congratulations.
- 731
- 00:52:54,369 --> 00:52:55,739
- Boston.
- 732
- 00:53:00,743 --> 00:53:04,447
- William, I know
- you have concerns,
- 733
- 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:09,552
- but I've had a very stern
- conversation with Major Lockhart
- 734
- 00:53:09,585 --> 00:53:11,888
- about how to treat you men
- in the future.
- 735
- 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,389
- I believe he will serve
- in my stead,
- 736
- 00:53:14,422 --> 00:53:16,959
- and I believe
- he will protect you.
- 737
- 00:53:17,226 --> 00:53:19,529
- Sir.
- 738
- 00:53:19,561 --> 00:53:22,331
- Captain Lockhart
- doesn't understand.
- 739
- 00:53:22,364 --> 00:53:24,366
- I have the scars to prove it.
- 740
- 00:53:25,634 --> 00:53:28,737
- How did Washington
- respond to your reports?
- 741
- 00:53:28,770 --> 00:53:32,808
- Racially charged complaints
- are never received well
- 742
- 00:53:32,842 --> 00:53:35,645
- - at the War Department.
- - Then what do we do, sir?
- 743
- 00:53:35,677 --> 00:53:38,513
- You leave.
- 744
- 00:53:38,547 --> 00:53:42,752
- Go to officer training school in
- Des Moines and make a difference.
- 745
- 00:53:42,784 --> 00:53:44,687
- I thought we had a deal.
- 746
- 00:53:45,420 --> 00:53:46,790
- We did.
- 747
- 00:53:48,391 --> 00:53:50,460
- - It's time for you to leave.
- - No, sir.
- 748
- 00:53:50,493 --> 00:53:53,929
- The deal was we were going
- to be treated as soldiers
- 749
- 00:53:53,962 --> 00:53:55,731
- and as men, sir.
- 750
- 00:53:55,764 --> 00:53:58,835
- William, I've done
- all I can do here.
- 751
- 00:53:58,868 --> 00:54:00,869
- I hope you take
- my advice.
- 752
- 00:54:02,071 --> 00:54:03,906
- Good luck, William.
- 753
- 00:54:13,915 --> 00:54:15,384
- Boston...
- 754
- 00:54:19,487 --> 00:54:21,523
- So, Lockhart in charge now?
- 755
- 00:54:23,159 --> 00:54:25,061
- What that mean for us?
- 756
- 00:54:35,737 --> 00:54:37,973
- <i>I don't want to go.</i>
- 757
- 00:54:38,007 --> 00:54:39,309
- Why would I want to go?
- 758
- 00:54:39,342 --> 00:54:42,145
- Becoming an officer won't end the
- hell we're going through here.
- 759
- 00:54:42,177 --> 00:54:43,880
- I'd just be
- another Uncle Tom
- 760
- 00:54:43,913 --> 00:54:45,481
- who couldn't cut it
- with his own people.
- 761
- 00:54:45,514 --> 00:54:46,649
- - That's what they say.
- - Who?
- 762
- 00:54:46,681 --> 00:54:48,685
- Everybody. The 24th...
- 763
- 00:54:51,554 --> 00:54:52,655
- Me.
- 764
- 00:54:55,623 --> 00:54:58,395
- Everybody. There's
- no honor in that.
- 765
- 00:55:00,029 --> 00:55:02,031
- People say things
- they don't know.
- 766
- 00:55:02,063 --> 00:55:03,565
- Don't make 'em true.
- 767
- 00:55:04,799 --> 00:55:08,537
- My daddy had a storefront
- church, right down in San Felipe
- 768
- 00:55:09,904 --> 00:55:11,975
- I played piano every service.
- 769
- 00:55:14,076 --> 00:55:16,612
- Daddy's deacon,
- 770
- 00:55:17,913 --> 00:55:19,416
- Johnny Tibbs,
- 771
- 00:55:20,982 --> 00:55:23,852
- he was a good talker.
- 772
- 00:55:23,886 --> 00:55:27,857
- Church was riding high
- and Daddy...
- 773
- 00:55:32,962 --> 00:55:35,498
- Daddy loved him
- some Johnny.
- 774
- 00:55:41,703 --> 00:55:44,172
- One evening after
- choir let out,
- 775
- 00:55:44,206 --> 00:55:46,542
- Johnny and I was alone,
- 776
- 00:55:46,574 --> 00:55:50,647
- and he asked me
- to be his gal.
- 777
- 00:55:53,281 --> 00:55:55,117
- I said no.
- 778
- 00:55:58,554 --> 00:56:00,456
- That didn't stop him.
- 779
- 00:56:05,860 --> 00:56:07,096
- He...
- 780
- 00:56:13,201 --> 00:56:15,138
- He had his way with me.
- 781
- 00:56:21,643 --> 00:56:22,978
- And Daddy blamed me.
- 782
- 00:56:25,848 --> 00:56:27,183
- Called me a jezebel.
- 783
- 00:56:28,884 --> 00:56:30,587
- Put me out in the street.
- 784
- 00:56:35,623 --> 00:56:37,759
- Whole town thought
- I was this whore
- 785
- 00:56:37,793 --> 00:56:40,964
- who tried to take advantage
- of the good deacon.
- 786
- 00:56:53,708 --> 00:56:57,078
- But I ain't gonna
- lay down and die
- 787
- 00:56:57,112 --> 00:57:00,016
- 'cause people think
- I'm something I ain't.
- 788
- 00:57:16,799 --> 00:57:18,735
- I was robbed of my honor.
- 789
- 00:57:21,235 --> 00:57:23,940
- You get outta here
- before they take yours too.
- 790
- 00:57:27,743 --> 00:57:28,777
- You come with me.
- 791
- 00:57:34,650 --> 00:57:36,019
- Oh, please.
- 792
- 00:57:37,353 --> 00:57:38,555
- Please.
- 793
- 00:57:40,723 --> 00:57:41,724
- Depends...
- 794
- 00:57:43,726 --> 00:57:46,262
- Can I bring my piano?
- 795
- 00:57:46,295 --> 00:57:50,900
- I would never separate
- a woman from her piano.
- 796
- 00:57:50,933 --> 00:57:53,670
- - Never?
- - No, never.
- 797
- 00:57:55,170 --> 00:57:56,272
- Never.
- 798
- 00:58:12,955 --> 00:58:15,290
- I'd like to attend officer training
- school, First Sergeant.
- 799
- 00:58:15,324 --> 00:58:17,393
- I heard you declined.
- 800
- 00:58:17,426 --> 00:58:18,962
- I changed my mind,
- First Sergeant.
- 801
- 00:58:19,795 --> 00:58:21,130
- Surprise, surprise.
- 802
- 00:58:22,096 --> 00:58:23,899
- My Roosevelt was your Norton.
- 803
- 00:58:25,868 --> 00:58:27,902
- How does it feel
- to be a damn fool?
- 804
- 00:58:27,935 --> 00:58:29,337
- I'm not a fool, First Sergeant.
- 805
- 00:58:29,371 --> 00:58:30,906
- Now you gonna cut and run.
- 806
- 00:58:30,938 --> 00:58:32,241
- I'm not running,
- First Sergeant.
- 807
- 00:58:32,273 --> 00:58:33,842
- My daddy was like you.
- 808
- 00:58:35,009 --> 00:58:37,112
- Soldier wanted to help
- the white man.
- 809
- 00:58:38,179 --> 00:58:39,281
- Told me, "Son...
- 810
- 00:58:40,815 --> 00:58:42,118
- "this a white man's world.
- 811
- 00:58:44,018 --> 00:58:46,022
- "You gotta play by
- the white man's rules."
- 812
- 00:58:48,190 --> 00:58:49,258
- Yeah, well,
- 813
- 00:58:50,292 --> 00:58:52,161
- I saw what helping took him.
- 814
- 00:58:53,395 --> 00:58:55,163
- The same place it took me.
- 815
- 00:58:56,732 --> 00:58:59,701
- Same place it took you.
- 816
- 00:59:00,703 --> 00:59:02,071
- Niggaville.
- 817
- 00:59:05,406 --> 00:59:09,144
- Every man here
- has got a lit fuse.
- 818
- 00:59:09,177 --> 00:59:11,380
- But you thought you were
- better than most.
- 819
- 00:59:11,413 --> 00:59:14,884
- Thought you could get
- chummy with that white man.
- 820
- 00:59:16,185 --> 00:59:19,688
- Norton, he onto
- greener pastures,
- 821
- 00:59:19,721 --> 00:59:20,756
- and you here.
- 822
- 00:59:21,389 --> 00:59:23,092
- Sick...
- 823
- 00:59:23,125 --> 00:59:25,661
- crying to another nigga
- about being a nigga.
- 824
- 00:59:27,228 --> 00:59:30,265
- Well, welcome to the club.
- We all sick of it.
- 825
- 00:59:30,299 --> 00:59:33,768
- Watching our boys come though that
- gate head bloodied, beat up by the law
- 826
- 00:59:33,802 --> 00:59:35,438
- but you ain't got to
- worry about that no more.
- 827
- 00:59:35,471 --> 00:59:37,840
- Do ya, Corporal?
- 828
- 00:59:37,873 --> 00:59:39,141
- 'Cause you running.
- 829
- 00:59:39,174 --> 00:59:40,743
- And what about you?
- 830
- 00:59:42,511 --> 00:59:45,014
- You playing boy
- with your "Yes, sir.
- 831
- 00:59:45,047 --> 00:59:46,749
- "No, sir.
- 832
- 00:59:46,781 --> 00:59:48,750
- "Be on my way, sir."
- 833
- 00:59:50,319 --> 00:59:53,723
- You won't even look
- that white man in his eye.
- 834
- 00:59:55,824 --> 00:59:57,193
- I'm the one who's running?
- 835
- 00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,297
- At least what I did
- made a difference,
- 836
- 01:00:02,297 --> 01:00:03,465
- First Sergeant.
- 837
- 01:00:03,498 --> 01:00:05,900
- You right.
- 838
- 01:00:05,933 --> 01:00:08,303
- You the first colored man
- to ever arrest a white man
- 839
- 01:00:08,337 --> 01:00:10,039
- for killing a colored man.
- 840
- 01:00:10,072 --> 01:00:11,374
- You made a difference.
- 841
- 01:00:13,942 --> 01:00:15,844
- The judge just released him.
- 842
- 01:00:16,310 --> 01:00:17,746
- No charges.
- 843
- 01:00:20,114 --> 01:00:23,018
- Norton told me that
- on his way out the door.
- 844
- 01:00:34,429 --> 01:00:38,134
- I'll get Major Lockhart to put your
- papers through as you requested.
- 845
- 01:00:40,002 --> 01:00:41,471
- Get out of my face.
- 846
- 01:01:07,496 --> 01:01:09,198
- The clouds
- is gathering.
- 847
- 01:01:09,230 --> 01:01:10,933
- We might get us
- a little weather.
- 848
- 01:01:12,034 --> 01:01:13,335
- Maybe it'll hold.
- 849
- 01:01:13,368 --> 01:01:16,304
- Yeah? You think so?
- Hope it does.
- 850
- 01:01:17,339 --> 01:01:18,474
- Listen up.
- 851
- 01:01:21,076 --> 01:01:22,378
- I got something to tell you.
- 852
- 01:01:23,578 --> 01:01:24,846
- I'm leaving.
- 853
- 01:01:26,547 --> 01:01:31,119
- They are sending me to
- officer training school.
- 854
- 01:01:31,152 --> 01:01:32,788
- What, you gonna be an officer?
- 855
- 01:01:40,094 --> 01:01:41,596
- Boss is gonna be a captain.

- Boss. They got one of your boys.
- 897
- 01:04:31,266 --> 01:04:33,435
- - Who?
- - The police. Nearly beat him to death.
- 898
- 01:04:33,467 --> 01:04:35,670
- - They bled him like a stuck pig.
- - Who are you talking about, McGhee?
- 899
- 01:04:35,703 --> 01:04:37,505
- One of yours.
- What's his name, Dawson...
- 900
- 01:04:37,538 --> 01:04:39,140
- No, Davids. That's it.
- 901
- 01:04:39,174 --> 01:04:40,275
- - Davids?
- - Yes, sir.

- What's going on?
- 905
- 01:04:53,989 --> 01:04:56,257
- A soldier's in trouble.
- I'm gonna be late.
- 906
- 01:04:56,290 --> 01:04:57,558
- Why don't you come inside
- with me.
- 907
- 01:04:57,592 --> 01:04:58,761
- - I can't, Marie.
- - Please.

- I promise you,
- I'll be right back.
- 910
- 01:05:03,098 --> 01:05:04,532

- 01:05:04,565 --> 01:05:05,567
- I promise.
- 912
- 01:05:14,241 --> 01:05:15,377
- Cross.
- 913
- 01:05:16,411 --> 01:05:18,147
- You detained one of my soldiers.
- 914
- 01:05:18,179 --> 01:05:19,681
- I need him released
- to my custody.
- 915
- 01:05:19,714 --> 01:05:22,583
- I think he's talking about
- that nigga we whipped upon.
- 916
- 01:05:22,616 --> 01:05:25,486
- Was he livin' when we left him?
- 917
- 01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:28,157
- Pissing and shitting himself.
- 918
- 01:05:28,190 --> 01:05:30,626
- - If that constitutes living.
- - Yeah, maybe.
- 919
- 01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:32,661
- Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey.
- 920
- 01:05:32,694 --> 01:05:34,730
- - I am Corporal...
- - I know who you are.
- 921
- 01:05:34,763 --> 01:05:37,632
- - I'm being nicer than I need to be.
- - Boston! Boston is my name.
- 922
- 01:05:37,665 --> 01:05:41,235
- Provost Guard. Assigned to protect
- the men of the 24th Infantry
- 923
- 01:05:41,268 --> 01:05:43,604
- and I am demanding
- that you take my soldier
- 924
- 01:05:43,638 --> 01:05:45,674
- out from whatever
- fucking hole you put him in!
- 925
- 01:05:46,373 --> 01:05:47,409
- Now.
- 926
- 01:05:48,743 --> 01:05:49,779
- All right.
- 927
- 01:05:50,545 --> 01:05:51,547
- We're good here.
- 928
- 01:05:52,447 --> 01:05:53,449
- It's all good.
- 929
- 01:06:35,357 --> 01:06:36,525
- They killed Boston.
- 930
- 01:06:37,659 --> 01:06:38,761
- What?
- 931
- 01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:41,229
- And Davids too.
- 932
- 01:06:41,263 --> 01:06:43,232
- Whole mob of them
- coming to finish us off.
- 933
- 01:06:43,264 --> 01:06:44,465
- Who said that?
- 934
- 01:06:44,498 --> 01:06:45,834
- The colored man
- came in from town.
- 935
- 01:06:47,802 --> 01:06:49,171
- They killed him.
- 936
- 01:06:49,571 --> 01:06:50,773
- They killed him!
- 937
- 01:07:17,799 --> 01:07:19,534
- What the hell is going on here?
- 938
- 01:07:19,567 --> 01:07:23,705
- Sir, two of my mens was killed
- today in Houston City limits.
- 939
- 01:07:23,737 --> 01:07:26,507
- We just got word that the local
- police and the white citizens
- 940
- 01:07:26,540 --> 01:07:28,243
- of Houston have
- declared war on us.
- 941
- 01:07:28,275 --> 01:07:30,279
- In fact, they could be
- on their way right now.
- 942
- 01:07:30,311 --> 01:07:32,714
- - First Sergeant, you tell these men to put down the guns.
- - Sir...
- 943
- 01:07:32,746 --> 01:07:34,282
- Tell them to out down
- the guns!
- 944
- 01:07:36,784 --> 01:07:38,853
- I was there
- 945
- 01:07:38,886 --> 01:07:42,890
- that December day in the Philippines
- when nine boys from the 24th
- 946
- 01:07:42,924 --> 01:07:46,929
- rounded 100 of them son of a
- bitch Filipinos out the trenches.
- 947
- 01:07:46,962 --> 01:07:49,364
- You hear me? One hundred!
- 948
- 01:07:49,397 --> 01:07:51,199
- We didn't lose
- a single man that day.
- 949
- 01:07:51,232 --> 01:07:53,801
- I done lost two tonight.
- I'll be damned if I lose another, sir.
- 950
- 01:07:53,835 --> 01:07:55,103
- Let me rephrase.
- 951
- 01:07:55,136 --> 01:07:59,174
- Tell my men to
- put down those damn guns, now!
- 952
- 01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:07,282
- No, sir.
- 953
- 01:08:07,315 --> 01:08:09,650
- Not as long as my men
- are in danger, sir.
- 954
- 01:08:09,683 --> 01:08:11,352
- Do you wanna lose them stripes?
- 955
- 01:08:12,286 --> 01:08:13,355
- No, sir.
- 956
- 01:08:13,388 --> 01:08:14,889
- How about
- a goddamn court-martial.
- 957
- 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,495
- - No, sir.
- - Then you do what I fucking command!
- 958
- 01:08:21,529 --> 01:08:23,531
- Right now!
- 959
- 01:08:37,879 --> 01:08:39,548
- Put the weapons away.
- 960
- 01:08:43,051 --> 01:08:44,520
- Put 'em away.
- 961
- 01:08:54,728 --> 01:08:56,030
- Now, I'm going into Houston,
- 962
- 01:08:56,063 --> 01:08:57,799
- I will get down
- to the bottom of this.
- 963
- 01:08:59,700 --> 01:09:04,305
- You lock down this armory and don't
- you give another goddamn order.
- 964
- 01:09:04,338 --> 01:09:06,007
- You understand me,
- First Sergeant?
- 965
- 01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:08,843
- Do you understand me?
- 966
- 01:09:10,477 --> 01:09:12,280
- Yes, Sir.
- 967
- 01:09:12,313 --> 01:09:13,848
- Give me your armory key.
- 968
- 01:09:53,387 --> 01:09:54,489
- Jesus.
- 969
- 01:09:55,190 --> 01:09:56,725
- Give me a towel for this man.
- 970
- 01:09:59,727 --> 01:10:00,828
- Where's Davids?
- 971
- 01:10:01,762 --> 01:10:03,731
- They said they didn't know.
- 972
- 01:10:03,764 --> 01:10:05,301
- They can't find him.
- 973
- 01:10:06,401 --> 01:10:08,671
- He may be dead.
- Hell, who knows.
- 974
- 01:10:15,043 --> 01:10:17,446
- Look, we have a problem.
- 975
- 01:10:17,478 --> 01:10:19,414
- The men think
- there's a militia on the way.
- 976
- 01:10:21,148 --> 01:10:23,051
- Are they?
- 977
- 01:10:23,084 --> 01:10:26,822
- I need you to do everything in your
- power to allay this excitement.
- 978
- 01:10:26,855 --> 01:10:30,092
- You make it clear that this
- incident did not amount to anything.
- 979
- 01:10:30,924 --> 01:10:32,393
- Do you understand?
- 980
- 01:10:32,427 --> 01:10:33,862
- You want me to lie.
- 981
- 01:10:33,895 --> 01:10:35,364
- Yes, you lie, goddammit!
- 982
- 01:10:36,130 --> 01:10:37,532
- And no more talk of Davids.
- 983
- 01:10:38,732 --> 01:10:40,002
- We need to keep order.
- 984
- 01:10:43,737 --> 01:10:47,609
- Now, as you can see,
- Corporal Boston is alive.
- 985
- 01:10:50,779 --> 01:10:55,450
- But it is foolhardy to think about
- taking the law into your own hands.
- 986
- 01:10:55,482 --> 01:10:58,753
- I will personally see to it
- that this man Cross
- 987
- 01:10:58,786 --> 01:11:00,922
- is ejected
- from the police force.
- 988
- 01:11:00,954 --> 01:11:02,122
- All the police
- is like that.
- 989
- 01:11:02,155 --> 01:11:04,392
- - What do we do what they beat us again?
- - Report it to me.
- 990

- - Where's Davids?
- - You know the mob's coming for us next.
- 991
- 01:11:06,194 --> 01:11:08,696
- A white mob, the whole town
- is talking about it.
- 992
- 01:11:08,730 --> 01:11:10,999
- Listen, you gotta get us up outta here.
- You gotta get us outta here right now!
- 993
- 01:11:11,031 --> 01:11:13,634
- - I don't have the authority to do that.
- - Then who has the authority?
- 994
- 01:11:13,668 --> 01:11:15,137
- First Sergeant,
- control your men.

- 01:11:25,446 --> 01:11:27,815
- Where you going, sir?

- Now look, these niggas give up,

- You smell that?
- 1058
- 01:18:48,556 --> 01:18:49,891
- It's blood.
- 1059
- 01:18:52,125 --> 01:18:55,062
- Yeah, but there ain't nobody
- innocent here, soldier.
- 1060
- 01:18:55,663 --> 01:18:58,500
- Not them, not us...
- 1061
- 01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:00,901
- Nobody.
- 1062
- 01:19:15,482 --> 01:19:17,118
- Look in front.
- 1063
- 01:19:17,951 --> 01:19:19,654
- Wait. Wait!
- 1064
- 01:19:19,687 --> 01:19:21,890
- - Is it the police?
- - Hold your fire!
- 1065
- 01:19:21,923 --> 01:19:23,023
- Hold your fire!
- 1066
- 01:19:23,723 --> 01:19:25,426
- Stop!
- 1067
- 01:19:25,459 --> 01:19:27,028
- Stop!
- 1068
- 01:19:29,530 --> 01:19:31,065
- What's going on?
- 1069
- 01:19:31,097 --> 01:19:32,566
- - You got any weapons?
- - No.
- 1070
- 01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,236
- No, my wife, she just had a
- baby I'm drivin' 'em home.
- 1071
- 01:19:40,607 --> 01:19:42,377
- Drive through.
- 1072
- 01:19:42,410 --> 01:19:44,979
- Don't slow down, don't look back.
- Come on.
- 1073

- 01:19:49,683 --> 01:19:51,151
- Clear a way.
- Clear a way, y'all.
- 1076
- 01:19:54,321 --> 01:19:56,356
- Boston. The fuck
- is your problem?
- 1077
- 01:19:56,389 --> 01:19:59,360
- - Hey, Clinton.
- - What, they beat on your head too hard, boy?
- 1078
- 01:19:59,392 --> 01:20:01,361
- We should have killed 'em.
- They can identify us!
- 1079
- 01:20:01,395 --> 01:20:03,531
- - Clinton, calm yourself.
- - Hey.
- 1080
- 01:20:03,563 --> 01:20:06,034
- - A machine's coming.
- - Machine!
- 1081
- 01:20:08,602 --> 01:20:11,371
- - Sarge, what we doing?
- - Hold your fire!

- - What we doing, Sarge?
- - Sarge, what we doing?
- 1083
- 01:20:14,508 --> 01:20:15,543
- Wait.
- 1084
- 01:20:15,575 --> 01:20:18,012
- Wait!
- 1085
- 01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:29,290
- Walker, take a look.
- See what's what.
- 1086
- 01:20:29,523 --> 01:20:30,592
- No.
- 1087
- 01:20:32,058 --> 01:20:33,227
- You, Boston.
- 1088
- 01:21:05,459 --> 01:21:06,494
- What?
- 1089
- 01:21:15,035 --> 01:21:16,070
- What?
- 1090
- 01:21:18,405 --> 01:21:19,540
- Army.
- 1091
- 01:21:20,508 --> 01:21:22,677
- They're not police,
- this one's a captain.
- 1092
- 01:21:23,677 --> 01:21:25,146
- Oh, shit!
- 1093
- 01:21:25,780 --> 01:21:27,014
- Boston.
- 1094
- 01:21:28,182 --> 01:21:29,351
- Shit!
- 1095
- 01:21:30,785 --> 01:21:32,787
- Army.
- 1096
- 01:21:32,820 --> 01:21:35,223
- - National Guard.
- - No, don't say that.
- 1097
- 01:21:37,223 --> 01:21:38,560
- Shit!
- 1098
- 01:21:40,093 --> 01:21:41,695
- Why the fuck we shooting
- at soldiers?
- 1099
- 01:21:43,563 --> 01:21:45,665
- Goddammit! What...
- 1100
- 01:21:45,699 --> 01:21:47,668
- What was we supposed to do?
- 1101
- 01:21:47,700 --> 01:21:49,570
- One of you niggas
- get us up outta here!
- 1102
- 01:22:07,554 --> 01:22:08,623
- Sarge...
- 1103
- 01:22:13,194 --> 01:22:14,361
- It's over now.
- 1104
- 01:22:17,231 --> 01:22:18,366
- What we gonna do?
- 1105
- 01:22:20,234 --> 01:22:22,102
- Well, you know
- the answer to that.
- 1106
- 01:22:24,637 --> 01:22:27,274
- We done soldier together
- long time,
- 1107
- 01:22:27,307 --> 01:22:28,308
- you and me.
- 1108
- 01:22:29,209 --> 01:22:30,244
- Yeah.
- 1109
- 01:22:41,288 --> 01:22:43,424
- We can go back to camp.
- They might not be dead.
- 1110
- 01:22:43,456 --> 01:22:44,825
- I ain't going back
- to camp no more.
- 1111
- 01:22:46,526 --> 01:22:49,431
- There ain't no more honor
- in this world for me.
- 1112
- 01:22:50,498 --> 01:22:51,532
- No.
- 1113
- 01:22:53,868 --> 01:22:56,170
- No, I ain't doing that.
- 1114
- 01:22:58,672 --> 01:23:00,375
- Looks like it's
- your lucky day, Boston.
- 1115
- 01:23:03,276 --> 01:23:05,212
- For all the hell
- I done put you through.
- 1116
- 01:23:07,447 --> 01:23:08,782
- Let me have it.
- 1117
- 01:23:29,469 --> 01:23:31,505
- You holster that weapon
- right now, Boston.
- 1118
- 01:23:33,173 --> 01:23:34,475
- So long, soldier.
- 1119
- 01:23:38,879 --> 01:23:40,548
- Sarge, you ain't got to do this.
- 1120
- 01:23:42,917 --> 01:23:44,185
- Goodbye.
- 1121
- 01:24:53,620 --> 01:24:55,757
- I'm not going to shoot you,
- First Sergeant.
- 1122
- 01:24:57,523 --> 01:24:59,227
- I didn't think you would.
- 1123
- 01:25:17,444 --> 01:25:19,246
- You don't have to do this.
- 1124
- 01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:20,748
- Then let them do it for me?
- 1125
- 01:25:21,347 --> 01:25:22,649
- No.
- 1126
- 01:25:23,616 --> 01:25:25,852
- Army was my whole life.
- 1127
- 01:25:26,919 --> 01:25:28,388
- That's over now.
- 1128
- 01:25:28,922 --> 01:25:31,426
- We crossed that line.
- 1129
- 01:25:34,895 --> 01:25:36,397
- You...
- 1130
- 01:25:37,865 --> 01:25:39,400
- are no actor.
- 1131
- 01:25:42,835 --> 01:25:45,772
- I was the one wearing the mask.
- 1132
- 01:25:48,875 --> 01:25:50,410
- That's over now.
- 1133
- 01:26:31,951 --> 01:26:34,387
- Don't you boys move.
- 1134
- 01:26:34,420 --> 01:26:35,722
- Stay right there.
- 1135
- 01:26:36,322 --> 01:26:37,792
- Hand over your weapons.
- 1136
- 01:26:41,527 --> 01:26:42,664
- Do it now.
- 1137
- 01:27:35,115 --> 01:27:36,884
- No! Oh, no!
- 1138
- 01:27:39,453 --> 01:27:40,687
- No!
- 1139
- 01:27:41,655 --> 01:27:42,923
- No!
- 1140
- 01:27:42,955 --> 01:27:45,659
- Get off me! Get off me!
- 1141
- 01:27:45,691 --> 01:27:47,594
- Hey! No! Don't you touch her!
- 1142
- 01:27:47,628 --> 01:27:49,163
- Don't you touch her!
- 1143
- 01:27:49,195 --> 01:27:50,864
- You stay with me!
- 1144
- 01:27:50,897 --> 01:27:52,366
- You stay with me!
- 1145
- 01:27:53,767 --> 01:27:55,670
- She's strong.
- She gonna be okay.
- 1146
- 01:28:25,699 --> 01:28:26,868
- Have a seat.
- 1147
- 01:28:45,252 --> 01:28:47,554
- Thought you'd be
- in France by now.
- 1148
- 01:28:47,588 --> 01:28:49,557
- It seems another war
- took precedence.
- 1149
- 01:28:53,794 --> 01:28:56,464
- Rather ironic place for a court
- martial, don't you think?
- 1150
- 01:28:58,065 --> 01:28:59,567
- And they're
- a young couple.
- 1151
- 01:29:01,101 --> 01:29:02,703
- I was married here.
- 1152
- 01:29:10,177 --> 01:29:11,212
- Did you do this?
- 1153
- 01:29:15,615 --> 01:29:17,651
- This is a perfect place
- for a wedding.
- 1154
- 01:29:20,721 --> 01:29:24,459
- William, what I'm about to
- say to you violates
- 1155
- 01:29:25,124 --> 01:29:27,694
- my moral code
- 1156
- 01:29:27,727 --> 01:29:29,230
- to the depths of my soul,
- but I have to say it.
- 1157
- 01:29:31,130 --> 01:29:32,933
- If someone doesn't testify...
- 1158
- 01:29:34,234 --> 01:29:35,837
- for the prosecution
- 1159
- 01:29:37,870 --> 01:29:41,007
- they are going to execute
- every last man.
- 1160
- 01:29:46,579 --> 01:29:47,914
- You want me to name the men?
- 1161
- 01:29:49,749 --> 01:29:50,817
- Someone has to.
- 1162
- 01:29:52,218 --> 01:29:53,487
- Okay.
- 1163
- 01:29:56,822 --> 01:29:59,627
- Corporal William Boston.
- I was there.
- 1164
- 01:30:00,861 --> 01:30:04,098
- The weapon that they found you
- with had not been discharged.
- 1165
- 01:30:04,130 --> 01:30:05,833
- I was there.
- 1166
- 01:30:05,865 --> 01:30:07,935
- They need someone
- 1167
- 01:30:07,968 --> 01:30:10,170
- who was against the mutiny.
- 1168
- 01:30:10,203 --> 01:30:11,839
- Someone that they can trust
- 1169
- 01:30:12,306 --> 01:30:13,674
- and respect.
- 1170
- 01:30:18,712 --> 01:30:20,748
- Trust and respect?
- 1171
- 01:30:22,615 --> 01:30:23,650
- The good one?
- 1172
- 01:30:23,683 --> 01:30:24,717
- It's who you are.
- 1173
- 01:30:24,750 --> 01:30:25,887
- You're a good man.
- 1174
- 01:30:27,053 --> 01:30:29,222
- If it's not you,
- they'll find someone else.
- 1175
- 01:30:29,255 --> 01:30:30,758
- - So be it.
- - You'd rather die?
- 1176
- 01:30:30,790 --> 01:30:33,060
- Yes! With honor.
- 1177
- 01:30:33,093 --> 01:30:34,828
- There's no honor
- 1178
- 01:30:34,861 --> 01:30:36,697
- in killing innocent people.
- 1179
- 01:30:36,996 --> 01:30:38,231
- Innocent?
- 1180
- 01:30:38,264 --> 01:30:41,035
- I should've never taken
- the transfer.
- 1181
- 01:30:41,067 --> 01:30:43,003
- I should've never
- left you men behind.
- 1182
- 01:30:45,137 --> 01:30:47,542
- None of us are absolved.
- 1183
- 01:30:48,808 --> 01:30:49,976
- William...
- 1184
- 01:30:51,344 --> 01:30:54,847
- help me save your life.
- 1185
- 01:30:54,880 --> 01:30:56,749
- No!
- 1186
- 01:30:56,782 --> 01:30:58,785
- The actions I took with the men
- 1187
- 01:30:58,819 --> 01:31:01,722
- come from the same self
- you find worthy of saving.
- 1188
- 01:31:02,388 --> 01:31:04,257
- If I am worth it,
- 1189
- 01:31:04,290 --> 01:31:06,759
- then so is every man
- in this regiment
- 1190
- 01:31:06,793 --> 01:31:08,228
- that marched on Houston.
- 1191
- 01:31:08,261 --> 01:31:10,030
- I am them and they are me.
- 1192
- 01:31:10,062 --> 01:31:13,132
- You can make a difference.
- 1193
- 01:31:13,165 --> 01:31:16,971
- You can go to officer training,
- become an officer.
- 1194
- 01:31:17,004 --> 01:31:18,272
- You can affect the careers
- 1195
- 01:31:18,304 --> 01:31:20,273
- of thousands of
- colored soldiers.
- 1196
- 01:31:20,941 --> 01:31:22,009
- I am them...
- 1197
- 01:31:23,343 --> 01:31:24,779
- - and they are...
- - Damn it!
- 1198
- 01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:34,121
- William?
- 1199
- 01:31:36,722 --> 01:31:37,792
- Do you have a girl?
- 1200
- 01:31:41,328 --> 01:31:42,597
- What's her name?
- 1201
- 01:31:43,664 --> 01:31:44,699
- Marie.
- 1202
- 01:31:45,264 --> 01:31:46,334
- Do you love her?
- 1203
- 01:31:49,201 --> 01:31:50,870
- With all my heart.
- 1204
- 01:31:53,106 --> 01:31:54,709
- She must be quite distraught.
- 1205
- 01:31:59,045 --> 01:32:00,213
- I imagine so.
- 1206
- 01:32:10,322 --> 01:32:12,058
- I didn't fire my gun...
- 1207
- 01:32:15,195 --> 01:32:17,063
- but I wanted to kill them...
- 1208
- 01:32:18,964 --> 01:32:20,935
- just as much as the others did.
- 1209
- 01:32:25,271 --> 01:32:27,107
- Every time they spit...
- 1210
- 01:32:29,875 --> 01:32:31,012
- they pissed...
- 1211
- 01:32:33,045 --> 01:32:34,380
- they'd beat us down,
- 1212
- 01:32:34,414 --> 01:32:37,084
- I could, I could feel it.
- 1213
- 01:32:39,119 --> 01:32:40,388
- I could feel it.
- 1214
- 01:32:42,121 --> 01:32:43,190
- Hate...
- 1215
- 01:32:47,093 --> 01:32:48,995
- But when I aimed the gun...
- 1216
- 01:32:51,897 --> 01:32:53,833
- Oh, God, help me.
- 1217
- 01:32:55,067 --> 01:32:56,736
- Oh, help me.
- 1218
- 01:32:59,239 --> 01:33:00,775
- I saw a man...
- 1219
- 01:33:02,142 --> 01:33:04,211
- I saw a man...
- 1220
- 01:33:08,048 --> 01:33:09,417
- And you know the thing?
- 1221
- 01:33:11,852 --> 01:33:13,287
- He didn't see one back.
- 1222
- 01:33:18,090 --> 01:33:20,061
- I won't stay unheard forever.
- 1223
- 01:33:22,094 --> 01:33:24,464
- You keep
- pushing people down,
- 1224
- 01:33:24,498 --> 01:33:27,401
- sooner or later they rise up...
- 1225
- 01:33:29,268 --> 01:33:30,737
- and they won't see a man...
- 1226
- 01:33:33,906 --> 01:33:35,042
- they'll see murder.
- 1227
- 01:33:42,281 --> 01:33:45,285
- If death is the price
- for a night of justice...
- 1228
- 01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:50,190
- I'm ready to pay it.
- 1229
- 01:33:51,792 --> 01:33:54,061
- My answer is no.
- 1230
- 01:33:56,096 --> 01:33:57,263
- No.
- 1231
- 01:34:03,536 --> 01:34:04,938
- No.
- 1232
- 01:34:16,182 --> 01:34:17,752
- You should be on your way.
- 1233
- 01:34:20,853 --> 01:34:22,490
- I told you
- when I first met you...
- 1234
- 01:34:24,590 --> 01:34:27,428
- that I admired service.
- 1235
- 01:34:29,862 --> 01:34:32,266
- Sacrifice over ambition.
- 1236
- 01:34:34,534 --> 01:34:35,902
- I always will.
- 1237
- 01:34:39,338 --> 01:34:40,440
- I know.
- 1238
- 01:34:48,181 --> 01:34:49,450
- Goodbye, William.
- 1239
- 01:35:04,063 --> 01:35:05,199
- Goodbye...
- 1240
- 01:35:06,298 --> 01:35:07,333
- Charles.
- 1241
- 01:35:33,226 --> 01:35:35,929
- We call Private
- Cleator Lucky to the stand.
- 1242
- 01:35:42,302 --> 01:35:43,603
- God damn Judas.
- 1243
- 01:35:45,170 --> 01:35:47,039
- He's a kid.
- 1244
- 01:35:47,072 --> 01:35:49,442
- Private Lucky has been
- given immunity for his testimony.
- 1245
- 01:35:50,209 --> 01:35:51,411
- Good for him.
- 1246
- 01:35:53,346 --> 01:35:55,648
- Was there a belief
- among the men
- 1247
- 01:35:55,682 --> 01:35:58,285
- that Private David's was killed
- by the local police?
- 1248
- 01:35:58,685 --> 01:36:00,219
- Yes, sir.
- 1249
- 01:36:00,253 --> 01:36:01,355
- Was he dead?
- 1250
- 01:36:01,655 --> 01:36:02,857
- No, sir.
- 1251
- 01:36:03,624 --> 01:36:05,492
- They just had beat him
- awful bad.
- 1252
- 01:36:06,459 --> 01:36:07,494
- Point him out to us.
- 1253
- 01:36:14,601 --> 01:36:16,170
- Private, please stand.
- 1254
- 01:36:23,575 --> 01:36:24,643
- Private Lucky,
- 1255
- 01:36:24,677 --> 01:36:27,548
- can you identify any of
- the leaders of the mutiny?
- 1256
- 01:36:31,051 --> 01:36:32,352
- Private Walker there.
- 1257
- 01:36:34,654 --> 01:36:36,322
- Him and Private Franklin,
- 1258
- 01:36:37,423 --> 01:36:38,892
- Miller...
- 1259
- 01:36:40,192 --> 01:36:41,462
- Wilson and Taylor there.
- 1260
- 01:36:42,728 --> 01:36:44,530
- They charged the armor
- and took the weapons.
- 1261
- 01:36:45,565 --> 01:36:46,634
- Gave 'em out.
- 1262
- 01:36:50,169 --> 01:36:51,570
- And Big Joe, he yelled...
- 1263
- 01:36:51,603 --> 01:36:54,340
- They're coming!
- 1264
- 01:36:54,374 --> 01:36:55,709
- Was there a mob?
- 1265
- 01:36:55,741 --> 01:36:58,244
- No, sir.
- 1266
- 01:36:58,277 --> 01:37:00,547
- Matter of fact was that there was
- nothing out there but an old cow.
- 1267
- 01:37:03,016 --> 01:37:05,686
- The false mob,
- was that the signal to mutiny?
- 1268
- 01:37:06,652 --> 01:37:08,187
- Yes, sir, I believe so.
- 1269
- 01:37:09,755 --> 01:37:11,357
- Will you men please stand.
- 1270
- 01:37:21,167 --> 01:37:24,405
- Walker told
- Private Jackson, Anderson,
- 1271
- 01:37:26,039 --> 01:37:28,709
- Lamon White, Anthony Harris,
- 1272
- 01:37:31,177 --> 01:37:35,281
- Ennis Clark, they all wanted
- to go to town and raise Cain.
- 1273
- 01:37:37,650 --> 01:37:40,521
- Sergeant Clinton and Sergeant
- Hayes, they's led the march.
- 1274
- 01:37:42,288 --> 01:37:43,723
- Will you man stand.
- 1275
- 01:37:54,500 --> 01:37:56,335
- Private,
- 1276
- 01:37:56,369 --> 01:37:58,505
- who was the other key figure
- in the mutiny?
- 1277
- 01:38:02,542 --> 01:38:03,710
- Come on, Private.
- 1278
- 01:38:04,111 --> 01:38:05,479
- Who was it?
- 1279
- 01:38:17,824 --> 01:38:20,527
- Corporal William Boston.
- 1280
- 01:38:21,761 --> 01:38:23,297
- What was his role?
- 1281
- 01:38:24,364 --> 01:38:25,632
- Well, sir...
- 1282
- 01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:29,703
- We all looked up to Boston.
- 1283
- 01:38:32,271 --> 01:38:34,307
- And when he come back all beat
- up and picked up a rifle...
- 1284
- 01:38:36,342 --> 01:38:37,544
- That was it.
- 1285
- 01:38:41,414 --> 01:38:43,317
- It's when I made my mind to go.
- 1286
- 01:38:46,186 --> 01:38:48,255
- I know it was the same
- for every man there.
- 1287
- 01:38:52,725 --> 01:38:55,462
- Boston's the most educated fellow I
- seen, colored or white.
- 1288
- 01:39:00,633 --> 01:39:03,137
- And for him to have all that
- and be whooped upon like that...
- 1289
- 01:39:06,505 --> 01:39:08,609
- nothing seemed to matter
- no more.
- 1290
- 01:39:12,779 --> 01:39:14,714
- We felt we weren't
- all men...
- 1291
- 01:39:16,449 --> 01:39:18,218
- if we didn't march too.
- 1292
- 01:39:22,454 --> 01:39:23,756
- Yes, sir.
- 1293
- 01:39:26,793 --> 01:39:28,161
- Boston's the one.
- 1294
- 01:39:32,365 --> 01:39:34,134
- He the real reason
- we all done it.
- 1295
- 01:39:35,301 --> 01:39:36,602
- Corporal
- William Boston.
- 1296
- 01:39:38,771 --> 01:39:40,340
- Rise and stand with the man.
- 1297
- 01:39:49,648 --> 01:39:50,750
- You boys
- 1298
- 01:39:51,784 --> 01:39:53,120
- have dishonored our nation...
- 1299
- 01:39:54,387 --> 01:39:57,224
- and betrayed your oath to protect
- the people of this country.
- 1300
- 01:39:59,792 --> 01:40:01,361
- What do you have
- to say for yourselves?
- 1301
- 01:40:08,700 --> 01:40:10,203

- 1306

- Take them away.
- 1307
- 01:40:29,821 --> 01:40:31,525
- I am a man.
- 1308
- 01:40:54,614 --> 01:40:56,750
