00:00How many Negroes got to die before we take it through these open motherfuckers?
00:14Where's Congressman Powell?
00:16He's still fighting those senators, filibustering the Civil Rights Act.
00:19Only 23 arrests and the bosses are still untouchable.
00:23Uncle Lily, I have something to tell you. I killed Benny Angano.
00:26If you don't testify against your father, I'm going to send you to jail for a very long time.
00:33Your uncle had a good idea, though. To marry people who can't testify against each other.
00:36I don't want you seeing my daughter putting your hands on her.
00:40It's the truth, Omar, and you know it.
00:42The truth, Malcolm, is that you have lost your way.
00:45I must admit I wanted to kill him where he sat.
00:48She is a temptress.
00:50Sister Elise, will you marry me?
00:53Captain Omar doesn't know of your friendship with us?
00:56Were you at the home of Malcolm X?
00:59Yes.
00:59And leave this mosque immediately?
01:02You are a worthless piece of garbage.
01:05He's a bad day, man.
01:07This business is kill or be killed.
01:09You make one move, my men will blow them all the way.
01:12I'm taken back to French Connection.
01:15Who cares you the most?
01:16Banano, me.
01:21I'll take your side.
01:23Banano's planning to wholesale the dope without the help of the other family.
01:27Joe Banano's men are up there.
01:29None of you are going to leave here alive.
01:31You want the dope?
01:32Then give me the money.
01:33I take your offer.
01:35It's time to get out of town, Joe.
01:36All is mine.
01:38The issue of police violence has come up again with the shooting of a teenage Negro boy by
01:49a police lieutenant.
01:50Do you feel that this situation now has gotten to the crisis point?
01:53Tell us what happened.
01:54I think it will be largely a matter of wanton acts of murder and police brutality.
01:59And one of them drew a knife.
02:00That is the deceased.
02:01Oh, we sincerely hope so.
02:02We have to have law and order in this city of ours.
02:04Do you feel that the majority of New York policemen are trigger happy?
02:08No, we have never claimed that.
02:09Nor have we ever claimed that there is an official...
02:11Please, babe.
02:13Nothing good can come out of this.
02:15We're going.
02:17A protest at the police station right now is a bad idea.
02:21A bad idea is the cops shooting an innocent black boy for no reason.
02:25Whether they say he was holding a knife or not.
02:28What do you think is going to happen?
02:29The suspension of Officer Gilligan.
02:30It'll suspend cops for killing black people.
02:32That has to change.
02:33Yeah, well, the only thing that's going to change is the names of the victims.
02:37Cops only understand one thing, and that's violence.
02:40You sound like Malcolm.
02:41Well, he's right.
02:43You got to fight fire with fire.
02:45That is not true.
02:47The Civil Rights Act is going to pass at any moment, and without a single shot being fired.
02:52Yeah, well, it hasn't passed yet.
02:53And it's still time for the shots to be fired.
02:56We are going to this protest, even if you think it's pointless.
03:01I'm not saying it's pointless.
03:02I admire what you guys are doing.
03:05But to be honest, when I was in Alcatraz, we'd suffer a thousand outrages each day.
03:13But then one day, there'd just be one too many.
03:17And the guards and the prisoners who try to rip each other apart.
03:26That's what I feel is going on in the streets right now.
03:31Peaceful protest is vital.
03:33We're safe.
03:49We got no sign-up and I don't know anybody, boss.
03:51No, no one's seen him in New York for weeks.
03:54He's in the wind.
03:56I gotta admit, Johnson knew how to play his cards.
03:59And what about the dope?
04:01Johnson says he's due from Canada today, so, you know, we pick up our piece when it arrives.
04:05You ain't mad he got to connect?
04:07Come on, Hart.
04:08He can have the fucking headaches.
04:10As far as I'm concerned, him and I are square.
04:14I need to speak to you.
04:17Privately.
04:18Yeah.
04:19When your Jew lawyer arrives, you know it ain't good news.
04:22I get lost.
04:22This is not an easy thing to tell you.
04:31Our federal contact says Robert Morgenthau is trying to make an immunity deal with an informant who is very close to you.
04:39Someone who could put you away for life.
04:42Who?
04:46Your daughter, Stella.
04:49Multiple shit.
04:50Our contact is in the Department of Justice Secretary of Poole.
04:53She sees the minutes of Morgenthau's meetings.
04:56I'm not going to be Stella.
04:57I mean, that's, that can't be true.
04:58It's the truth.
05:00Stella was one of Robert Morgenthau's confidential informants when you were arrested.
05:04Come on, baby.
05:19Now all we got us is a seven-hour drive to home sweet home Harlem.
05:39Hey.
05:40We're the biggest doujee shipment in history.
05:42The biggest.
05:43Oh, yeah.
05:44We ain't there yet.
05:45All right, now.
05:46You look good, though.
05:47Let's get going.
05:50K, k, k, k, k, k, k.
05:52Mr. King, Mr. King!
05:55I done been to hell.
06:00Okay, you can go.
06:02Or as you folks say, bon voyage.
06:07How do you plan to make it across the border?
06:10Bumpy was at Alcatraz with the brother of a border guard in Windsor Canada.
06:14He's being primed.
06:17Amongst you to get back to France.
06:20Your country's fucked up.
06:23The whole world's fucked up.
06:24That's why people love getting high.
06:27And after all the trouble we've been through, driving it down,
06:30well, that just seems like the easy part.
06:34Stop killer cops!
06:35Stop killer cops!
06:46Stop killer cops!
06:48Stop killer cops!
06:49Big Spock!
06:50Get your feet off!
06:51Are we going nowhere?
06:52You're going to stop my man!
06:54Yeah!
06:56Open up my window again.
07:13Open up my window again.
07:16I can end up calling my name.
07:18I can end up calling again.
07:21I swear to God, things ain't going to change.
07:24I swear to God, things ain't going to change.
07:26I keep a revolver with your name.
07:29I keep a revolver with your name.
07:31Just in case.
07:33Lay on my back watching the ceiling fan.
07:36I had a dream to touch a kilogram.
07:39Still at odds with the Irish mob.
07:41Rose race down Malcolm X Boulevard.
07:44Lord, these d***s really out here praying on me.
07:46I got the 40 on me and the stand on me.
07:49Snow white mink like them Dutch troops.
07:51Run the books and let me show you how the numbers look.
07:54You can't be lucky like you Luciano.
07:57The kilos coming like they do pianos.
08:00The fat boy got the big body.
08:03Coast to coast, I can shoot product.
08:04Open up my window again.
08:08Open up my window again.
08:11I can end up calling my name.
08:14I can end up calling again.
08:16I swear to God, things ain't going to change.
08:19I swear to God, things ain't going to change.
08:22I keep a revolver with your name.
08:24I keep a revolver with your name.
08:27Just in case.
08:28He scared me.
08:37Are you talking to Robert Morgenthau?
08:38Huh?
08:39No.
08:39Tell me!
08:40It's not that.
08:40Tell me!
08:41It's...
08:42He just tried to get me to testify against you,
08:44but I told him to f*** himself.
08:45No, that's bullshit.
08:47Feynman told me that you're a confidential informant.
08:49No, it's not that, Dad.
08:51A couple of months ago, I was so angry at you
08:54that I just...
08:54I told him a couple of things about your business.
08:57What did you tell him?
08:57It wasn't much.
08:58It was just that you were getting a piece
09:01of every building contract at the World Fair
09:03and that you worked with Bumpy Johnson.
09:04Why would you f***ing do that?
09:05It's you sent Vinny to Florida
09:07instead of giving him the punishment he deserved.
09:08God, don't you turn your back on me!
09:10You hurt me.
09:11You hurt me.
09:17Well, you hurt me, too.
09:21I don't know why you hate me so much.
09:23I don't.
09:23When Morgenthau came back for more,
09:28I said that I would never testify against you.
09:31Never.
09:34Then he played me the tape.
09:35What tape?
09:36It was a tape where he...
09:38he taped a conversation between me and Uncle Louis
09:40where I told him I killed Benny.
09:43You told Louis?
09:45He told me to confide in him, so I did.
09:48I didn't know the phone was tapped.
09:55Oh, Mother Mary.
09:57It's okay, Dad.
09:58We fixed it.
10:03Does my brother know that Morgenthau
10:05taped that conversation?
10:07Does he?
10:08Yeah, he tried to put the screws to him, so...
10:11Oh, you gotta stay in this room
10:20and lock it up, you understand?
10:21You can't leave this room, okay?
10:23Just tell me you're gonna stay here, Stella, please.
10:26Wake up, Daddy!
10:53Wake up!
10:54All right, I'm up.
10:56Pictures in the newspaper.
10:59Pictures in the paper?
11:00Let me see this.
11:03Yep.
11:04Let me see that.
11:07Yeah, that's me.
11:10Who's that?
11:13That man is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
11:16He's a great man.
11:18Not as great as you.
11:20Honey?
11:21Give your father some peace and go get dressed.
11:24Your sisters are at the breakfast table.
11:27Bye, Daddy.
11:28Bye, sweetheart.
11:32Nice picture.
11:35Yeah, I wish they'd taken a picture of you senators
11:37filibustering the Civil Rights Act,
11:40beating pages of the phone book,
11:41doing all other sorts of nonsense.
11:43Even if this passes,
11:45black folks can use it as toilet paper
11:47for all the good it'll do them.
11:49Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed?
11:52Betty, don't you think it's ironic
11:53that these newspapers will trumpet civil rights
11:56while all over Harlem,
11:57they'll protest for a black boy
11:58who was murdered by a cop?
12:00I do.
12:00It makes me furious.
12:06I've decided to give Mike Wallace
12:08that interview he's been pestering me about.
12:10I thought you said you weren't going to speak publicly
12:12until you announced your new organization.
12:14I wasn't.
12:16But it's time we let the people know
12:18that this is nothing short of state-sponsored,
12:20racially biased homicide.
12:22Otherwise, this will just continue to happen
12:24again and again and again.
12:25I lost my damn eyes to these cops,
12:31but that boy lost his life.
12:33Cops said he had a knife,
12:35but I spoke to old man Roberts
12:36and he said the boy was unarmed.
12:41This is him, Sirens.
12:42Today just don't feel right.
12:51What do you want?
12:53Our wiretap suggests
12:55that you have outmaneuvered the Italians
12:58to receive that very large narcotic shipment
13:01from Marseille.
13:03I got no idea what you're talking about.
13:06I don't know where and I don't know when,
13:09but I will arrest you.
13:11Don't think for a second you can get rid of me.
13:14If you was really a prosecutor,
13:16you'd be down at the police station
13:17arresting that cop for murder.
13:21I am a federal prosecutor.
13:22That's a local matter.
13:24But for the record,
13:25I think it's horrible what happened.
13:26Let's hope the protests stay calm.
13:29Like Malcolm X says,
13:31when a dog bites you,
13:32you gotta bite it back.
13:36You know,
13:38it might just make me sad
13:39to put you away, Johnson.
13:41Because I think in a different world,
13:43if you had made different choices,
13:45me and you,
13:46we could have been friends.
13:47Why?
13:48Because blacks and Jews
13:50share a common history of oppression?
13:53No.
13:55Because we're both driven
13:56to be the best of what we do.
13:59Unfortunately for you,
14:01you chose crime.
14:04What you don't understand is
14:05that being a criminal
14:07ain't about choices.
14:09it's about survival.
14:13My family immigrated here
14:16in 1866.
14:19We were ostracized,
14:20treated as second-class citizens.
14:23I chose to be a lawyer,
14:25not a criminal.
14:26I chose to be a lawyer too.
14:28I checked the City College of New York
14:29where I put in my application
14:30and it was denied
14:31because they found out
14:33that Ellsworth
14:33was black.
14:37You see,
14:37I'm out of here.
14:39You take care of him, all right?
14:40Sure thing.
14:42We do share
14:43aspects
14:44of a common history.
14:47But if you think that
14:49my skin color
14:50didn't affect the choices
14:51that I made,
14:53you must be blind.
14:56Hey, Johnson.
15:00You, uh,
15:04you mentioned Malcolm X
15:07before.
15:08I, uh,
15:09I hear that you two
15:10were quite close.
15:11So what?
15:14Well, I received
15:15a confidential briefing
15:16from our field office.
15:18This would be
15:18highly unorthodox
15:20for me to share with you,
15:21but...
15:25We have credible intel
15:27from Moss No. 7
15:29that suggests
15:29there will be
15:30an assassination attempt
15:31against Malcolm X
15:32in the next few days.
15:36Do with that
15:37what you will.
15:41I understand
15:42your position
15:43on this,
15:43dear Holy Apostle.
15:44You must stop
15:45the death talk
15:46regarding Malcolm
15:47at Moss No. 7.
15:49Do you understand?
15:51Yes,
15:51dear Holy Apostle.
15:52We don't want
15:53to kill Malcolm.
15:55And we won't
15:56try to kill him.
15:57Understood.
15:58Let no man
15:59currently in the nation
16:01do anything
16:02to bring disrepute
16:04to me
16:04or the organization.
16:06You have my assurance,
16:08dear Holy Apostle.
16:10I will broadcast
16:11this message here
16:12and in all the mosques
16:13around the country.
16:14Thank you, Omar.
16:16I look forward
16:17to seeing you
16:18when you return
16:18to Chicago.
16:19He doesn't want
16:26Malcolm touched
16:27by anyone
16:28in the nation.
16:30I think he still
16:31views Malcolm
16:31as a prodigal son
16:33who will someday
16:33return to the fold.
16:35But you and I
16:36both know
16:36the grave danger
16:37that Malcolm poses
16:38to the dear Holy One.
16:39So what are we to do?
16:44We cannot disobey
16:45the dear Holy Apostle.
16:54But for this one day,
17:04we're going to leave
17:05the nation.
17:09Hello, America.
17:28I'm Mike Wallace.
17:30Join us tonight
17:31for a special interview
17:32with Malcolm X
17:33to discuss the ongoing
17:34riots in Harlem.
17:36I've gotten used
17:37to the threats.
17:38They come almost every day.
17:40I don't even pick up
17:40the phone anymore.
17:42I'm not talking
17:42about crackpots
17:43on the street.
17:44This warning
17:45comes from the FBI.
17:48Bobby, I'm going to show you
17:49the FBI has no interest
17:50in protecting me.
17:51Yeah, but I do.
17:53Robert Morgenthau
17:54wouldn't have given me
17:54that information
17:55if he didn't think
17:55it was credible.
17:57There's death talk
17:58in the mosques.
18:00You can't just
18:00sweep it away, man.
18:03Well, I've always said
18:04I don't expect
18:04to live to a ripe old age.
18:07Mm-hmm.
18:08You tell that
18:09to your little girls?
18:12No, I didn't think so.
18:15Look,
18:18starting today,
18:19I'd like to put
18:20some of my men
18:20on a security detail,
18:22both at your home
18:23and when you travel.
18:26They'll be discreet.
18:27You won't even
18:27know that they're ammo.
18:29Brother, I appreciate you,
18:30but I have followers
18:31who guard me
18:31when I'm out
18:32on the streets.
18:33You need professionals.
18:34I have finally
18:35gotten to a point
18:36where I'm making
18:37inroads with other
18:38black leaders.
18:39Amongst a whole range
18:41of churches,
18:41the various civil rights
18:42organizations,
18:43political action groups
18:44all across the country.
18:47Yeah, I saw your picture
18:48with King,
18:48the white man's favorite
18:50black man.
18:51Hey, yeah,
18:52I need all the friends
18:52I can get.
18:53Including me.
18:57Brother, you know
18:58with the narcotics,
18:59it's difficult for me
19:00to publicly accept your help.
19:02That's not me being two-faced,
19:03that's me dealing
19:04with the realities of life,
19:05which you so often
19:06remind me to do.
19:07And you remind me
19:10that when a gangster
19:11becomes political,
19:13white America
19:14will tremble.
19:15Indeed I do.
19:17Well, it works
19:17the other way too, Mom.
19:19If you want to be
19:20political,
19:22you better be
19:23a little gangster.
19:31God damn it,
19:32what's taking so long?
19:34Maybe those
19:35god damn dixocrats
19:36decided to filibuster
19:38because of your
19:39power amendment,
19:40which you shove
19:41into every god damn
19:42bill that's anywhere
19:43near Washington.
19:45What good is
19:45a civil rights act
19:46if we can't deny
19:47federal funding
19:48to racist institutions?
19:49What good is it
19:50if we don't have
19:51a civil rights act?
19:54Stop pacing,
19:55you're making me nauseous.
20:01My friend,
20:02if this all works,
20:04it'll be largely
20:05because of you.
20:06And all your great work.
20:09There's still much work
20:10to do if you want
20:11your great society.
20:13We need a voting rights act,
20:15Medicare,
20:16minimum wage,
20:17public broadcasting.
20:19God damn it, Adam.
20:20Let's get this blasted
20:21legislation passed first.
20:26Since man crawled
20:28out of the slime
20:29and started to hate
20:30each other,
20:31there's never been
20:32any law
20:34like this one.
20:39But you're still
20:40not going to invite me
20:41to the signing
20:42if the bill passes.
20:44You know I gotta throw
20:45Martin Luther King
20:45a bone.
20:46Yes.
20:59Yes.
21:04I see.
21:08We did it.
21:17Yes.
21:19Yes.
21:20Yes.
21:22Thank you,
21:23Jesus.
21:26Yeah.
21:30Congratulations,
21:32Mr. President.
21:32Adam,
21:36I have a special gift
21:37for you.
21:39Better than any
21:39stupid pen
21:41I give out
21:41at the signing.
21:45I want you
21:45to have it.
21:47That is my
21:48personal letter.
21:50Had it with me
21:50since I first
21:51got elected
21:51to Texas Congress
21:52in 1937.
21:53I am honored.
21:58Now don't you
21:59go losing that
21:59in any whorehouse,
22:00you hear?
22:01Mr. President,
22:03Adam Clayton Powell
22:04does not pay
22:06for pussy.
22:07I am honored.
22:09Now don't you
22:10go losing that
22:10in any whorehouse,
22:12you hear?
22:12Mr. President,
22:14Adam Clayton Powell
22:16does not pay
22:18for pussy.
22:19And the latest
22:22from Washington,
22:22after a long
22:24Senate debate,
22:24the Civil Rights
22:25Act of 1964
22:26has passed
22:27both houses
22:28of Congress
22:28and will soon
22:29be signed
22:30into law
22:30by President...
22:31All these fools
22:33got their hopes up
22:34about some shit
22:35that don't mean shit.
22:37I know you
22:38don't mean that.
22:39Hey,
22:40you really think
22:41passing some law
22:42is going to change
22:42the way people think?
22:45That'll start somewhere.
22:47Del,
22:48the world is changing.
22:51All the bases
22:52when I have to start
22:53learning how to get along.
22:55All I know is
22:56if Whitey hates me
22:57and my mama
22:59and my granny
23:00and papi
23:01and everybody I know,
23:03then I'm hating them back.
23:05Can't you see
23:06that by hating Whitey,
23:07you're giving them power?
23:08I'm just living
23:09in a world
23:09I was born into.
23:11They got nothing for me,
23:13and I got nothing for them.
23:15I had to sneak out
23:16the house
23:17right out the window.
23:17What the fuck happened?
23:18He knows that Morgenthau
23:19tried to get me
23:20to testify.
23:20Oh, fuck.
23:21I kept you out of it.
23:22He's going to find out
23:22somehow as soon as
23:23he starts digging.
23:24We need to tell him
23:24that we got married
23:25and that it's going to be okay.
23:26If we tell him
23:27we got married,
23:27then he's going to
23:28fucking kill me anyway.
23:29But we did it
23:30to protect him.
23:32What?
23:34That's not why I did it.
23:36What are you talking about?
23:37I did it because
23:39I love you still.
23:41To be honest,
23:42I don't even know
23:43if I care about him anymore.
23:46I want you to be
23:47the mother of my children.
23:49I want to be
23:50a husband to you,
23:51and I'm willing to
23:52give up that whole
23:52fucking life
23:53if it means
23:54I get to be with you.
23:57Do you really mean that?
24:00Yeah.
24:04If he so much
24:04as lays a finger on you,
24:06I'll ride him out
24:08to the feds.
24:09Don't talk like that.
24:11Swear to God I would.
24:14Maybe I'm crazy.
24:15You are fucking crazy.
24:17You are fucking crazy.
24:36Mr. Mayor,
24:36do you think the police
24:37were justified
24:38in firing their weapons
24:39as much as they did?
24:40Well,
24:40and the commissioner
24:41told me that
24:42it felt it was necessary
24:43in order to contain...
24:45It's a nasty scrape,
24:46but it should heal.
24:47Why don't you turn that off?
24:49I can't stand to hear
24:50Mayor Wagner
24:51blaming this on us.
24:52No mention of James Powell
24:53either or why the riots
24:54started in the first place.
24:57What the hell happened?
24:59You were right.
25:00Our peaceful protests
25:01turned violent.
25:02The police kept
25:03pushing us back
25:04and when they started
25:06beating us,
25:06the crowd started
25:07to fight back.
25:08People were throwing rocks
25:09and we tried to run
25:10and maybe it fell.
25:12What happened to your eye?
25:13The cop punched me.
25:15Tell me who it is.
25:15He's fucking dead.
25:16He's fucking dead.
25:16Maybe there's chaos
25:17out there.
25:19Things have gotten
25:19out of control.
25:20And Malcolm's right.
25:21The press only aggravates
25:22this by making it seem
25:23like we're the ones
25:24going wild.
25:25Yeah, he may be right,
25:26but I wish he'd use
25:27his common sense
25:28more for himself
25:29than he does for the press.
25:30What do you mean?
25:31I got credible evidence
25:32from Morgenthau himself
25:34that's going to be
25:34an attempt on his life.
25:36Somebody from
25:36Mosque No. 7.
25:38I told him I wanted
25:38to help him out.
25:39He wouldn't let me.
25:40He's so fucking stubborn,
25:42that guy.
25:42Mosque No. 7?
25:43Who?
25:44They didn't know
25:44who or where.
25:46At least what they did
25:47didn't tell me.
25:50Hey, wait, wait,
25:50where you going?
25:52I have to go to the mosque.
25:54You can't go out there.
25:55I have to.
26:00If you got to go,
26:01I got men downstairs.
26:03I want you to take
26:03one of them with you,
26:04all right?
26:18Hey.
26:21Malcolm's interview
26:21ends at 9 o'clock.
26:23It's gotten crazy
26:24out there.
26:25Are we compromised?
26:26The television studios
26:28in midtown Manhattan.
26:30Ain't no riots
26:31in Whitey's neighborhood.
26:32No, Henry,
26:33but there will be security.
26:36Also police.
26:37Half of the police
26:38have already been sent
26:39uptown to keep black folk
26:40from going down there.
26:42Good.
26:43Then we'll know
26:43where he is.
26:46That hypocrite
26:46will never miss a chance
26:47to stand in front
26:48of the white man's cameras.
26:49Spread his lies
26:50and poison by defaming
26:52the dear holy apostle.
26:53He'll seduce the white devils
26:54like he seduced
26:55Elise Johnson.
26:56Enough.
26:58Don't mention her name.
27:07There's two methods
27:08of ingress
27:09and egress
27:10at the studio.
27:11The front door
27:12and the side stage entrance.
27:13I'll take the front.
27:14And which gun
27:15do you want?
27:16I've cleaned them both.
27:17The dear holy apostle
27:24tempers his rage
27:25with mercy.
27:28In this case,
27:29we cannot.
27:33Tonight,
27:35Malcolm dies.
27:37Vincent,
27:48I know why you called me here.
27:49You're upset on the phone,
27:50but I can assure you
27:51I found the solution.
27:52All right, all right.
27:52Everybody out.
27:53Out.
27:53Come on.
27:54Let's go.
27:54Let's go.
27:55Out.
27:55What are you doing?
28:00Let me see you.
28:01Are you wearing a fucking wire?
28:02You son of a bitch.
28:04Huh?
28:05Fucking Morgans,
28:06I'll call you in
28:06and you didn't fucking tell me
28:08you fucked you.
28:09Don't you fucking dare.
28:10I put my reputation
28:11as a priest on the line
28:12and you question my loyalty.
28:13You won't let me fucking go.
28:14For years,
28:14I've listened to you
28:15whine and moan
28:16under the cover of confession
28:17while I turned a blind eye
28:18to your obvious criminality.
28:20I have mollycoddled a man
28:21who was in lockstep
28:22with Satan.
28:23That's right.
28:24You do Satan's handiwork.
28:25From this point forward,
28:26I will never take
28:27your confession again.
28:29All right.
28:29Come on.
28:29I'm sorry.
28:31I'm sorry.
28:34I'm sorry.
28:34I'm sorry.
28:40It was my idea
28:42to marry your daughter
28:43to Ernie Nunzi
28:45so they couldn't testify
28:45against each other.
28:47My idea.
28:49Instead of thanking me,
28:50you treat me like
28:51one of your two big punks.
28:58Ernie Nunzi married my daughter.
29:10Livingston Wingate,
29:12in all the years
29:13you've been my chief counsel,
29:14I have never seen you
29:16take a drink.
29:17That's because
29:18I don't drink.
29:19Hmm.
29:20You're going to make
29:21an exception.
29:29To the Civil Rights Act?
29:32And John Fitzgerald Kennedy,
29:35whose spirit
29:36helped push the hand
29:38of LBJ.
29:40Great day for our people.
29:51And I dare say
29:53we can allow ourselves
29:56to be bathed
29:57in the glorious spirit
29:58of hope
29:58by the grace of God.
30:03Well, I hate to be
30:04a realist congressman,
30:05but it's just a piece of paper
30:07if no one takes it seriously.
30:08It may even convince
30:10some people
30:11that racism is over,
30:12which it clearly is not.
30:13For example,
30:14Jim Crow may now be illegal,
30:15but the act
30:16doesn't address past crimes.
30:17Lynn Gate,
30:18have another drink.
30:19We interrupt this broadcast
30:23to bring you
30:24a breaking news...
30:25No, not to diminish
30:26this historic moment.
30:27I'm just saying,
30:28let's wait and see
30:29how it affects the...
30:29Hey, driver,
30:30turn that up.
30:31...to stay indoors.
30:33While the Civil Rights Act
30:34may have passed today,
30:35the streets of Harlem
30:36are on fire at this hour
30:38as riots and looting
30:39break out over the shooting
30:40of an unarmed black teenager.
30:42The National Guard
30:43has been called in
30:44to try and contain
30:45the violence
30:46as Mayor Wagner
30:47calls for calm.
30:48More updates
30:49as they are available.
30:50Maybe the rioters
30:51will calm down
30:51when they hear
30:52about the Civil Rights Act
30:53being passed?
30:53...
30:53... last June,
30:55outlawed discrimination
30:56What are you doing here?
31:19Where's Omar?
31:20None of your business.
31:22Where is he?
31:24Get out of this mosque, traitor.
31:29You best tell me
31:30what the hell's going on
31:31before I take these glasses
31:32and shove them up your ass.
31:34If you even think
31:35about lying to me,
31:37I will end you.
31:41I know you're wondering
31:42why I bumped you up
31:43from Benny's crew.
31:44Major,
31:45my concierge.
31:46Well, I gotta admit
31:47I was surprised
31:48and honored.
31:51So what I'm about to say
31:52goes no further.
31:54Of course.
31:56Ernie and Benny,
31:57they didn't like each other.
31:59They had a dispute.
32:02Ernie shot him in the head.
32:03What?
32:04Yeah.
32:05We all thought it was
32:06but I don't...
32:07It wasn't...
32:08Are you sure?
32:11Yeah.
32:13What the fuck?
32:15Jesus Christ,
32:15why is this fucking piece of shit
32:17still walking the planet?
32:18Yeah.
32:18Well, he won't be for long.
32:22I want you to take him out.
32:27Hey.
32:28Hey, Ernie.
32:30Interrupting?
32:31No, go ahead.
32:31Boss,
32:32I got a great idea.
32:33What's that?
32:34On account of that boy
32:35who got shot up in Harlem,
32:36Negroes are going crazy.
32:38They're burning
32:38the whole fucking place down.
32:40Oh, fucking animals.
32:40I got the perfect score.
32:42United Bank of Harlem.
32:44With all the looting going on,
32:45we take it down,
32:46the Negroes will get the blame.
32:48But there'll be cops
32:49all over the place.
32:50Ah, that's the beauty of it.
32:51They're going to protect
32:52the white business owners.
32:53That's like 95%
32:55of the stores up there.
32:56The bank is black-owned.
32:58It'll be wide fucking open.
33:00I like this idea.
33:03You got a crew?
33:05Nah, I was just going to
33:06sneak in, sneak out.
33:07You should take Lombardi.
33:09He's good with safes.
33:10Oh, yeah?
33:11Absolutely.
33:13All right.
33:15All right, so Lombardi,
33:16you go with him.
33:18You got it, boss.
33:22Go ahead.
33:23Yeah, get out of here.
33:30What's going on?
33:42We've been stopped.
33:44There's a police blockade
33:45at 125th Street.
33:47Well, how am I supposed
33:47to get to my office?
33:49I'm sorry, sir.
33:50We'll have to wait here for now.
33:51We're trapped.
33:54Congressman Powell.
33:59What are you doing?
34:00Saluting you, sir,
34:01on your great achievement.
34:03You're a drunk.
34:04Yeah.
34:08Now, the thing is,
34:10ever since I left my law firm
34:12to come work for you,
34:14I've been in awe of you.
34:15Your dedication,
34:1650 bills passed
34:17in the last year alone,
34:18all helping minorities.
34:21Our cause, my cause,
34:22me and my family.
34:25It's not just Harlem
34:26that owes you a great debt.
34:28It's the world.
34:30Maybe, Wingate.
34:42Maybe.
34:44But there's still
34:45so much to do.
34:48So much.
34:49Then, along with you,
34:55that's scum.
34:55You know what?
34:56But there's still
34:57in your family,
34:58are you still feeling
34:59that you need?
35:00Shut high five minutes,
35:02hit us now.
35:03Shut down that way!
35:06Stand down that way!
35:07Stand down that way!
35:07Come on, come on, come on.
35:08Get away from me!
35:12You just fell around me!
35:12Come on, come on!
35:14Here they go!
35:15Go.
35:16Get away from you!
35:16I don't know.
35:46What the hell's going on?
35:48I don't know, but they blocked the whole damn street.
35:50Hey!
35:50It's a fucking riot, man.
35:51Look at all the cops.
35:52We gotta get this truck to the warehouse.
35:54What am I supposed to do?
35:55Get your elbow on that horn, man, and drive, man.
35:57Fuck!
35:58Come on, motherfuckers!
35:59I'm coming through!
36:01We're out here, man!
36:03We're out here, man!
36:05We're out here, man!
36:06We're out here, man!
36:08We're out here, man!
36:13What you doing, man?
36:14Come on!
36:16Let's go, let's go, let's go!
36:21Look at him!
36:23What a trip, Junie Bird!
36:28I'm glad you made it back safe, baby!
36:31Woo!
36:32And it's all time I hit.
36:36Welcome back, my brother.
36:38Junie, these streets are crazy.
36:39Let's get this shit unloaded.
36:40Hey, yo, let's go!
36:41Let's go!
36:42One plate at a time, all right?
36:44Treat each plate like it's your motherfucking girlfriend!
36:46Let's go!
36:51Put it over there!
36:52Almost there, boys.
36:553,000 keys.
36:56Yeah, it's a beautiful sight.
36:58Junie, I'm concerned about security here.
37:01I don't want nobody trying to break in.
37:03I got some boys out front.
37:05Yeah, yeah, but there's cops everywhere.
37:07And Negroes are tossing Minotov cocktails and shit, you know?
37:10Whole fucking place could go up.
37:12I better go, Bobby.
37:13You said you were going to stay in your room.
37:29I'm not a child.
37:31We need to talk.
37:32I got something to tell you, and you're not going to like it.
37:43But Ernie and I are married.
37:45I know that.
37:47Father Louis told you?
37:49Yeah.
37:50And?
37:51I think he's a piece of shit, okay?
37:53He broke his oath, and he killed my best friend,
37:57and now he's using you to protect himself from me.
38:02You're so wrong about everything.
38:04Fuck.
38:05I love him.
38:06He's a fucking killer and a fucking thief.
38:09Just like you.
38:11Don't they say girls always look for a version of their father?
38:15Listen, he wants to better himself,
38:19and I believe that he can.
38:22And if he can change, then maybe so can I.
38:27And you too.
38:29And that's the only way that this stinking world
38:31is going to get any better.
38:43You got feelings for him?
38:46Yeah.
38:49And he loves me.
38:51You know that.
38:52Look, we've put each other through a lot, Dad.
38:58But you should know that I love you.
39:02And I know you love me too.
39:05I think I can make a go of it with Ernie.
39:09But I need you to let that happen.
39:14Would you protect him as much as you do me?
39:16Would you promise me that?
39:28Yeah, yeah.
39:30Yeah, sure, sure.
39:34Yeah.
39:38The whole load is in the warehouse?
39:40Yeah.
39:40Fantastic.
39:44We did it, Chance.
39:45We fucking did it.
39:46Yeah, I don't know if we have enough security here, Bumpy.
39:49I saw stores up in flames, cop cars all over the damn streets.
39:52Now tell him what's going to happen.
39:53Look, I think we might need to move the Jugees somewhere else.
39:56Okay.
39:59I'll be down there.
40:00Just keep everything under control.
40:03Hold on.
40:04What's this?
40:05Why are you wearing that thing again?
40:07I just came from the mosque.
40:08Omar and Henry are going to ambush Malcolm after his television interview.
40:12What?
40:13Where?
40:1356 and 6th.
40:19Chance.
40:21Don't know if I can control things from here.
40:23Hey, look, we need you down here, Bumpy.
40:27I need you to do your best, all right?
40:30All right.
40:32I gotta go take care of something.
40:33Okay, hurry up, though.
40:38I'm gonna go with you.
40:40The hell you are.
40:42Let me handle this.
40:45You did good.
40:47I'm proud of you.
40:48And ain't nobody gonna touch the man that saved my daughter.
40:55All right.
40:55All right.
40:55All right.
40:55Be careful.
41:23Please.
41:38I will.
41:39If I should die tonight, tonight, tonight, yeah, yeah, in the middle of the war tonight.
42:00The police, the police then came into this bar behind me and started attacking the patrons and the bartender who were sitting in there.
42:13Subsequently, bottles were thrown from the roof and the police started firing their revolvers at people on the roofs.
42:21There was no bottles thrown at the policemen. There was a bullet shot in the glass.
42:26So far, they would be stuck to dark nights. I fight just to see the sunlight.
42:35They knocked me down so many times and I ride. I've been up, I've been out, I've been in between.
42:42I've been seeing things, I've been living dreams. Get the best that I could in my life.
42:48With the cars that I was giving, push it to the limit.
42:56Thanks, fellas. I'll be out in an hour.
43:05Good evening. I'm Mike Wallace, coming to you with a special report.
43:12In 1959, I had the privilege of interviewing Malcolm X for the documentary presentation, The Hate That Hate Produced.
43:18Tonight, as a riot grips the streets of Harlem, I welcome Malcolm X back to our studios in Midtown Manhattan.
43:26Thank you for having me.
43:28You were, until recently, associated with the Nation of Islam, this country's most powerful black supremacist group.
43:34Are you still a black supremacist?
43:36Well, if by supremacist, you mean the supremacy of fair and equal treatment.
43:41The right not to be shot down by police in our own streets, then, yes, feel free to call me that.
43:47You have openly advocated violence against the white man.
43:51No, sir. I have openly advocated self-defense against the violence of the white man.
43:57Do you not agree that progress has been made?
44:00Just today, we learned the Civil Rights Act will be made the law of the land.
44:04Sir, the Civil Rights Act is simply a piece of paper that bears little meaning to the situation of the black man and woman in the black gulags that we call ghettos.
44:15You're referring to the riots just north of where we sit right now.
44:18Yes, riots estigated by the murder of yet another defenseless black boy by a white cop.
44:30Now, how long will this go on?
44:32How long will a country that is supposedly dedicated to life and liberty continue to deny that same life and liberty to its black citizens?
44:39Why, one might ask, would Negroes spark a riot and burn their own communities and property as an act of protest?
45:02Mr. Wallace, barely a hundred years ago, black people were bought and sold as property themselves.
45:07So perhaps to them, the concept of property means nothing, especially when that property in Harlem belongs to white landlords.
45:14But wouldn't you agree?
45:17There has to be a more productive outlet for the rage.
45:21How often has the average white person heard one of their own begging for mercy as the cops slammed down their billy clubs?
45:32When was the last time the average white person experienced one of their own children being killed in the streets by cops for allegedly carrying a weapon when yet no weapon was found?
45:43When was the last time the average white person watched as their own or killed in the streets by cops?
45:53And yet no jury will convict them of murder.
45:58Now, if the shoe were on the other foot, you'd say the rage was justified.
46:03A riot, as my recent acquaintance, Dr. King, says, is simply the language of the unheard.
46:13A riot, as my recent acquaintance, is simply the language of the unheard.
46:43Let's go!
46:44Come on!
46:53Ernie!
46:56Ernie!
47:00Ernie!
47:01Ernie!
47:06Oh, thank God you're okay.
47:08Ernie!
47:09Hey!
47:10Where's somebody?
47:11What the fuck?
47:11Boss, what are you doing here?
47:12Where's Lombardi?
47:13I made a mistake.
47:14He's right there.
47:15Oh, shit!
47:16Lombardi, no!
47:18Hey, fuck.
47:19Hey!
47:20Oh, shit.
47:21What's the matter, boss?
47:22It's all you wanted.
47:25Fuck!
47:26Boss, it's done.
47:28We gotta go.
47:29Ernie, I tried, right?
47:32Let's go.
47:34I tried.
47:42You little fuck!
48:02Go ahead.
48:03Do it.
48:04Do it.
48:05Do it.
48:06This ain't over.
48:07Get the fuck out of here.
48:12The riots in Harlem have escalated, as police and firefighters struggle to control the sea.
48:18The fires have broken out in dozens of warehouses and local businesses.
48:23The riots in Harlem have escalated as police and firefighters struggle to control the scene.
48:34Fires have broken out in dozens of warehouses and local businesses
48:37as vandals continue to run amok on Harlem streets.
48:41More than 100 injuries and 450 arrests have been reported,
48:45and the cost of property damage continues to grow.
48:48Mama, come here.
48:49The riots began several days ago in response to the shooting of an unarmed Negro boy
48:53by a New York City gun.
48:55Many Harnamites you, the incident has an unnecessary example of police.
49:00Oh, motherhood.
49:01Now, Wackers and Senator Barry Goldwater have escalated...
49:05Shit, where the fuck is Bumpy?
49:07I told him to get down here.
49:10Holy shit, the doujee's burning up.
49:13There goes the fucking French connection.
49:16Just like that.
49:17Up in flames.
49:19All that trouble for nothing.
49:21What was the fucking point?
49:25What was the point?
49:38I had to tell her.
49:40What?
49:41No.
49:42No, I don't believe it.
49:44Ernie's dead.
49:45He should burn it out for what he's done.
50:00I understand why you're doing this.
50:15I do.
50:16I tried to save Ernie.
50:18I did.
50:19You gotta believe me.
50:21I got punishment coming to me.
50:22I could take that.
50:23I could do that.
50:24But, baby, I didn't mean to hurt you.
50:28I didn't.
50:30I need you to believe me, all right?
50:32I need you to believe me, okay?
50:33I love you, all right?
50:37Vincent, I'm afraid for you.
50:39Don't worry.
50:40Don't worry.
50:41You know I can take care of myself, huh?
50:42Okay.
50:43Don't worry.
50:43I'm gonna get you out.
50:45All right.
50:46Move it, buddy.
50:46Okay.
50:47You did the right thing.
51:04My fellow citizens, I am about to sign into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
51:13Ladies and gentlemen, we believe that all men are entitled to the blessings of liberty.
51:22Yet millions are being deprived of those blessings, not because of their own failures, but because of the color of their skin.
51:35My fellow citizens, we have come now to a time of testing.
51:41We must not fail.
51:43Let us close the springs of racial poison.
51:49Let us pray for wise and understanding hearts.
51:55Let us lay aside irrelevant differences and make our nation whole.
52:02Let us pray for those who will be filled with joy.
52:17Let us pray for those who may not be, okay?
52:20Let us pray for those who may not be, okay.
52:22Let us pray for those who may not be and for us.
52:24If I should die tonight
52:41In the middle of the war tonight
52:47Another day, another dollar
52:55It's another problem
52:58I gotta hustle harder
53:02And so I, and oh I
53:08Can't let my life speak for me, speak for me
53:13I just wanna say, I love you
53:18I thank you, I thank you
53:22If I should die tonight
53:24I love you
53:35I love you
