Transcript

00:00Now, I need you to listen to me, Elise.

00:04You go out there and you keep doing the work that Malcolm was doing.

00:08I ain't gonna give up on justice.

00:10Not today, not ever.

00:11I told you I want in on your new venture.

00:13The whole thing, you owe me.

00:15If you keep this shit up, we will go to war.

00:18I don't want to see him destroy what's been a really good deal for our family.

00:2260 kilos of junk are gonna be distributed from us to the other families.

00:26I need your help.

00:28There's something you can do for me, Chin Gigante.

00:31Rob him blind.

00:37You let one guy rob my truck with you and two men in it?

00:41He came out of the blue.

00:42Weren't you supposed to get back to Bumpy?

00:44Gave him back soon.

00:45The rest was milk sugar.

00:47You fine gentlemen can make a choice.

00:48Either I keep the narcotics and we go to war, or I give it back.

00:52Chin takes his ass out of Harlem.

00:54So what's it gonna be, fellas?

00:56I need you to report back to me every move that Pino takes.

00:59He's gonna be the new face of the family of Tom.

01:02You're the brains.

01:03Thank you for offering me protection to come back.

01:06I'm really glad you're back.

01:07I want my workers to live someplace clean, new.

01:13The new Harlem.

01:14I love it.

01:16Do you think you could get James Baldwin to write an exhibition text?

01:20All things are possible.

01:23I'm James Baldwin, an author of many best-selling books.

01:27But the question all of you here really should be asking, if you were to actually stop to

01:32consider it, how do you really and truly see me?

01:37I'm black, but am I a man?

01:42What am I to you?

01:44Three fifths of a person as our founding fathers declared a negro to be?

01:49That is the reality of being negro in America.

01:54And what of Harlem?

01:56All of us are packed in a dirty, crowded ghetto, crawling with police, ready to arrest any

02:01of us at any moment for nothing more than being black.

02:06And who is to blame?

02:09You say the negro man needs to work harder.

02:13But I say there's a white consortium owns our schools, hospitals, and housing projects.

02:19This is an American nightmare.

02:21The only black men to own anything in Harlem are the drug lords, who find a way to profit

02:28off the people's suffering.

02:32Drug lords, speak of the devil, look who's here.

02:36The infamous Bumpy Johnson, Mr. Harlem himself.

02:39And there you are, the silver-tongued Jimmy Baldwin.

02:44It's easy for you to get up on that stage and judge a man for trying to make things better

02:48in the streets.

02:50You think my life is easy?

02:52I survived those streets.

02:53To do what?

02:54Entertain white folks while jabbing at me?

02:58Black against black?

03:00You're putting on quite a show here.

03:03This is better than two circus monkeys, isn't it?

03:09Isn't it?

03:18You dragged me out of Jay's Baldwin for this?

03:28Bumpy, when it comes to New York real estate, one thing is for certain, larceny is legal.

03:34I don't think I like where this conversation is going.

03:37Yes, well, I don't want to have to take it here, but here we are.

03:40A man by the name of Marshall Grant bought your new Harlem buildings.

03:45I got contracts on those buildings.

03:47Yes, well, the city accepted a higher offer.

03:49The city has my deposit in escrow.

03:52This can't be legal.

03:53Well, they'll return your deposit.

03:56With poverty programs, excuse me, urban revitalization plans, every single millionaire in the tri-state

04:04area wants a piece, and they can wash money and get a tax break while they do it.

04:09Let me see that paper.

04:18I'm gonna roll up on this Marshall Grant, see what it's about.

04:22I-I don't want to stick in your craw, but I'd steer clear of any arm twisting.

04:28This fella is even black.

04:31Well, according to the box he checked, he is.

04:34Right there.

04:35But you know, not all skin folk are kin folk.

04:38..

04:40So, let me re-duty.

04:42That's why, Chris, you know.

04:43I'm gonna go to my school, John, and Joe who also argue that you're this one of my teachers.

04:44I'm gonna follow the rules.

04:46I'm gonna go to school.

04:47You're a creep.

04:48You're a lovely guy.

04:49That's why I'm gonna go to school.

04:51I'm gonna pass on a satellite in my pocket.

04:52And so, let me know in the shuffle.

04:53Today, I'm gonna be a fire.

04:55It's not that it's not that you're in this space.

04:56I'm gonna wear the bugs.

04:58And you're gonna be a fire.

04:59It's not that you're breathing.

05:00It's not that you're expressing.

05:01But you're in the cabin's room!

05:03I didn't have to be a fire.

05:05I need to have to be a fire.

05:06I swear to God, things ain't going to change.

05:10I swear to God, things ain't going to change.

05:13I keep a revolver with your name.

05:16I keep a revolver with your name, just in case.

05:20Lay on my back watching the ceiling fan.

05:23I had a dream to touch a kilogram.

05:26Still at odds with the Irish mob.

05:28Rose race down Malcolm X Boulevard.

05:30Lord, these really out here praying on me.

05:33Got the 40 on me and the stand on me.

05:36Snow white mink like them Dutch shoes.

05:38Run the books and let me show you how the numbers look.

05:41You can't be lucky like you Luciano.

05:44The kilos coming like they do pianos.

05:47The fat boy got the big body.

05:50Coast to coast, I can shoot product.

05:52Open up my window again.

05:55Open up my window again.

05:58I can end up calling my name.

06:01I can end up calling again.

06:03I swear to God, things ain't going to change.

06:06I swear to God, things ain't going to change.

06:08I keep a revolver with your name.

06:11I keep a revolver with your name.

06:13Just in case.

06:15What's wrong, Daddy?

06:37I was having some trouble moving this shit.

06:40What, the junkies not buying?

06:42Oh, they buying.

06:44Just got a bunch of motherfuckers looking for me.

06:48I don't know, Frank.

06:49Maybe he's still on that dope button, a good idea.

06:52And can't you give it back to him?

06:55If I ain't had work,

06:58I'd give this shit back to him.

07:00I have a bullet in my head before they say thank you.

07:03Fuck.

07:05Fuck.

07:16What about Bumpy Johnson?

07:18Maybe he can help you.

07:22Bumpy don't want nothing to do with me.

07:24Easier to find an Italian.

07:26The Italians.

07:31They're always hating on us.

07:39I just gotta find one who don't.

07:41Where the fuck is Bumpy Johnson?

07:49Bumpy's a very busy man these days.

07:52It's real convenient,

07:54given what he's done with our junk.

07:56I don't follow.

07:57Well, he returned it.

07:59But when we tested the purity,

08:01which was at 90%,

08:02turns out it was cut with milk sugar.

08:05Your boss stole at least one-third of our junk.

08:08Bumpy don't want your dope.

08:10Bumpy don't sell that shit no more.

08:12As a matter of fact,

08:13you wouldn't even have that doo-jee to sell

08:15if Bump didn't give Chin

08:17the connection all to himself.

08:21Fuck what he want to steal it for.

08:23Look, we know that Bumpy's a man of his worth.

08:26But we can't sell product that's been whacked as shit.

08:28It makes us look bad.

08:31It's bad for our arrangement with Bumpy, too.

08:34Well, Bumpy knows the value.

08:37of a good reputation.

08:40I tell you what.

08:42Let me talk to him.

08:44And we'll see what we can dig up.

08:46I'm acting boss.

08:47Not only digging,

08:48I need real fucking answers right fucking now.

08:52Acting boss?

08:57Have some breakfast on me.

08:59Look, I think it's best if we try and stay on good terms with Johnson, you know?

09:10No disrespect, Stella.

09:12Your father put me in charge

09:13because he knows I know how to talk to the blacks.

09:17We're all trying to rip us the fuck off.

09:19The people in this court

09:23and the people in the legislature...

09:25Did you finish all your homework, Mark?

09:28I will.

09:29Discipline is just as important as aptitude.

09:34I hate squatting ways.

09:35But you love to read.

09:37The pamphlet says that the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense

09:40calls on the American people in general

09:42to take careful note of the racist California legislature.

09:46Why do you believe the legislature is racist?

09:49Because you don't.

09:49You're part of it.

09:50You're obviously the white system.

09:52This is obviously where we're at.

09:53The statement seems to indicate

09:55that these people feel that the black people

09:58have been enslaved throughout most of their lives,

10:00that the white society is responsible for this,

10:03and then they go on to say

10:04the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense

10:06believes that the time has come...

10:07Who are they?

10:09I saw a few of them around here.

10:11Betty knows them.

10:12Look like a bunch of California criminals, if you ask me.

10:16They look fine to me.

10:18Excuse me, young lady.

10:20I know my daughter didn't just say that.

10:24She's not wrong.

10:24They do look fine.

10:25Elise, can you please?

10:28The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense calls

10:30upon the American people in general

10:32and the black people in particular

10:34to take full note of the racist California legislature,

10:38which is now considering legislation

10:40aimed at keeping the black people disarmed and powerless

10:43at the very same time that racist police agencies

10:47throughout the country are intensifying the terror

10:49brutality, murder, and repression of black people.

10:53Margaret, go finish your homework.

10:55I'm not a little kid anymore.

10:57But you're still my kid.

11:07Sitting around watching TV

11:08doesn't help a girl whose grades are faltering.

11:10And what are you teaching her?

11:12To turn the TV off on a strong black man

11:14who's trying to make a difference?

11:14Well, this can't be the right address.

11:31You're telling me the man who took your property

11:33lives in this dump?

11:35What?

11:36Stay down!

11:58Don't you...

11:59Shut the fuck up, okay?

12:00Forgive me.

12:02I came to speak to you about a group of buildings

12:04that seemed to have purchased.

12:07I know you.

12:09He's clean.

12:11I've known you since you was a nappy-haired country bumpkin.

12:16I knew your sister before she died.

12:20You knew Mabel?

12:21I intended to marry Mabel.

12:26Mr. G.

12:29You Molly G?

12:32Marshal Gray.

12:34Help him up.

12:39This way.

12:40Let's just go inside.

12:41You played sacks over at the Apollo.

12:57I remember Mabel's sweet on you.

13:02When I played, my sister took paces, I know.

13:05Mom would sit me up here to live with Mabel.

13:08I was pretty angry.

13:10Your sister tried.

13:13But was you just too hard-headed and...

13:16And rotten.

13:17She was a good woman.

13:19Big heart.

13:20I remember one day, she gave me a roll full of pennies.

13:24I was bowled over.

13:25I slipped those cords into my pocket.

13:27Felt like I was rich.

13:29Like I was Mr. Big Stuff.

13:31I remember that.

13:33She gave you those pennies on Saturday.

13:36And by Monday, you was in a fight.

13:38You broke a boy's face with a fistful of corns.

13:43Remember that part?

13:45You was a little thug even then.

13:49Mr. G, I'm not that boy anymore.

13:52You still a gangster, ain't you?

13:54That's what I want to talk to you about.

13:55About doing things differently.

13:56When you was 11 years in prison,

14:02your sister blamed herself

14:05for not setting you on the right path.

14:09That's what killed her.

14:13And Mabel may have blamed herself,

14:16but I blamed you.

14:18Peter Rue,

14:23give me some money for the door.

14:24Peter Rue,

14:24give me some money for the door.

14:25The true opiate plaguing America

14:44is its addiction to money.

14:46The haves and have-nots.

14:48That's the exact sort of thing

14:49Ellsworth is trying to fight.

14:51By building a bigger casino.

14:54A casino that will provide jobs.

14:56Not to mention he wants to build restaurants,

14:58a theater.

14:59Which will all allow Bumpy

15:00to rake in the money hand over fist.

15:03What is your problem

15:05with my husband and his money?

15:07It's just an observation,

15:08not an opinion.

15:11Ellsworth is a businessman.

15:12Everything he has,

15:14he's made from nothing.

15:15He cares for his family.

15:17He's charitable.

15:18Not to mention he's reinvented himself,

15:20gotten out of the drug trade.

15:21I, for one, admire him.

15:23Hmm.

15:24He's a man of many facets.

15:27And contradictions.

15:33So, you're saying

15:35his money isn't about the paper,

15:38it's about the power.

15:40Yes, exactly.

15:41But, all the while

15:43our people are being abused

15:44by the cops

15:45and exploited

15:45by an economic caste system.

15:47Oh, you give voice to that

15:48in your writing.

15:49My husband

15:49does what he can in his way.

15:52But, Mrs. Johnson,

15:54is either enough?

16:07Mail from Marshal Grant?

16:08I'll take it.

16:12You had the wrong zip code, brother.

16:23Bingo.

16:26Yeah.

16:26Brought you some biscotti.

16:34I sure do love me a guinea cookie.

16:37It's the kind you like.

16:46But you didn't come here for that.

16:49What do you need?

16:50I know that face.

16:53It's just...

16:55My father was right.

16:57It's hard.

17:00What's hard?

17:02Being a woman holding your weight

17:04in a man's world?

17:06Or the fact that your dope got stolen?

17:10Both.

17:10If Bumpy knows who stole your dope,

17:14he won't give the man up.

17:15That's not Bumpy.

17:17Then I'm fucked.

17:20Whatever happened to you

17:21going to Paris?

17:24Going to Paris

17:24was never really about Paris.

17:27It was about getting away

17:27from my family.

17:29It was about being free.

17:31I thought that by working for my dad,

17:33I could earn that freedom here.

17:35How's that going?

17:37I'm the smartest one

17:38of all my father's goombas.

17:40And he put fucking Pino in charge.

17:44I don't know anything

17:45about big Italian family, Stella,

17:47or mobsters and their dope.

17:50But if what you want is power,

17:53don't wait for some man

17:54to bestow that on you.

17:56He won't.

17:57Fight for it.

17:58Steal it if you have to.

18:00Power is something you gotta take.

18:04Same with this guinea cookie.

18:10If you won't tell me

18:11how to make them,

18:13I'm gonna break right into your kitchen

18:15and snatch your recipe box.

18:17Thanks, Delia.

18:21I'll see you soon.

18:34If you really wanna know

18:39I can stand your brand of love

18:42Try me

18:43Why don't you try me

18:45If you wanna know

18:48I'm affected by the moon

18:51But then try me

18:52You Elise?

18:53Come on and try me

18:54If I need Shakur

18:56No, no, no, my heart beat

18:57This is strong, my heart beat

19:00Straub and partners

19:03That mean anything to you, Bo?

19:06Fred Straub

19:07The real estate tycoon

19:09That cat's one of the richest motherfuckers

19:12in the city

19:12That's him

19:13I have a feeling he's using Mr. G

19:16as a straw man

19:17Straw man?

19:19Straub's probably paying Marshall a few dollars

19:21to be his Harlem resident

19:23He's talking black man

19:24to get city tax breaks

19:26Fred Straub

19:28He's the real owner

19:30So that rich old face

19:32is trying to buy up Harlem

19:33Motherfucker

19:35He bought your building

19:36right out for Monday

19:37I was surprised to learn

19:40there were female panthers

19:41That's from your time

19:43in the NOI

19:43Where the women are covered

19:45from head to toe

19:46The males included

19:47I travel the world

19:49with Malcolm X

19:49He never once silenced me

19:51Never gave you

19:53the microphone either

19:54It wasn't about me

19:55It was about Malcolm's aspirations

19:58Now that he's gone

20:00we've lost our voice

20:01Our vision

20:02Our compass

20:03Our way

20:04What brought you here

20:07to meet with me

20:08I saw the panthers on TV

20:10and I

20:12just felt pulled

20:15Your mission didn't die with Malcolm

20:20That's that white patriarchal bullshit

20:24they want us to believe

20:25Malcolm only stoked a fire

20:28that was already inside you

20:30It's inside the panthers too

20:33Now numbers in New York

20:36are still growing

20:37The real cavalry's up

20:38in California

20:39But we don't silence our women

20:42We put bullhorns in their hands

20:45Mr. Stroud, Mr. Ellsworth Johnson is here

21:07Bumpy Johnson

21:10Fred Stroud

21:12Care for whiskey?

21:16No thanks

21:16Is this the monstrosity you plan on building on my city blocks?

21:23It seems that this property

21:25was deeded to a

21:27Marshall Grant

21:28Yes

21:29Yes

21:30Wonderful man

21:32A musician no less

21:33Yeah but that's what made me wonder

21:35What's a retired musician have to do with a deed to demolish city blocks?

21:41He's probably a smart businessman

21:42like you

21:43Let's call it what it is

21:45You're using an old man to cheat a city funded program

21:49Harlem is in shambles

21:50We're gonna tear down and rebuild and stimulate economic growth

21:55I'm sure the mayor's office will agree

21:57That's good for the city

21:59That's my property

22:00Marshall Grant doesn't sign this back over to me

22:03I'm gonna sue you

22:04And your investors

22:05Straub and Partners retains the most powerful expensive team of attorneys on the east coast

22:12I can tie you up in legal paperwork for as long as you spent in Alcatraz

22:16But uh

22:18Perhaps we can discuss terms

22:21If you're interested in becoming an investor

22:23Without due respect

22:28Go fuck yourself

22:30You fucking strums

22:38What did I say about drinking on the job, huh?

22:41This liquor's cheap as shit anyways

22:43What'd you find?

22:44Nothing

22:44Looked everywhere

22:46Checked all the Johnson spots like Pino said

22:48Wherever he's hiding our dope

22:50It's gonna take a team of bloodhounds to find it

22:52Forget Bumpy

22:54You didn't take our shit

22:55Go back to all our dope spots and check out who's doing

22:58You see anybody who ain't ours

23:00Yank him up and bring the dope with

23:01The fuck you looking at?

23:06Do like she says

23:07The great explorer Christopher Columbus brought civilization to the American Indians

23:27A tribe of people that hadn't even entered the Iron Age

23:30Write this down, class

23:35You will be tested

23:36According to Columbus' own testimony

23:39The Arawak, that's one of the tribes

23:42They willingly gave us everything they owned

23:45They brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things

23:49Yes, Margaret

23:52In addition to being a great explorer

23:54Wasn't Columbus also responsible for a lot of murders?

23:58No, he was not

24:00But it says right here in the book

24:03Where?

24:04Where does it say that?

24:10You're right

24:10I apologize

24:12It wasn't murder

24:14Because he says here in one of his letters

24:16The Arawak people would make fine servants

24:20With 50 of my men, we could subjugate them all

24:24And force them to do whatever we want

24:24Stop reading, stop

24:25You're disrupting my lesson

24:29To subjugate

24:30That means to oppress, correct?

24:31That's enough, Margaret

24:32Be quiet

24:33So Columbus never wanted to kill the Arawak people

24:36He wanted to enslave them

24:37Shut your mouth

24:38Well, well, well

24:54If it isn't our little heroine kingpin

24:57Trust us when we tell you

25:00Handing back Bumpy Johnson a bunch of milk sugar

25:02Ain't the smartest idea

25:05Bumpy wants to talk with you

25:06Oh, I'm guessing I'm in trouble, huh?

25:10You are in trouble

25:11Tell you what

25:13Y'all boys let me go

25:17I got 10 kilos left

25:20We split it between each other

25:22Boy

25:26Ain't you learned nothing

25:28Bumpy don't sell no dope

25:30Neither do we

25:31Let's go

25:33Nah, I don't think I will

25:35Nah, I don't think I will

25:38Hey, gotcha

25:39If Bumpy wanted you dead

25:43We wouldn't be standing here

25:45Flapping out gums

25:46So come walking

25:48Or come flat on your back

25:50Your call

25:52See, the thing you gotta understand

26:06Johnson is about as thick-headed as they come

26:10You know, once he gets his mind set on something

26:12You can't change it

26:14You gotta light

26:16We can't have him getting in the way of the project

26:25I've got investors to answer to

26:27You're gonna need to take care of Johnson

26:30That I can't do

26:33Isn't that exactly what mob guys do?

26:38Mob guys?

26:38What kind of term is

26:41It's a form of prejudice

26:43Because I'm Italian

26:44Let me be very clear about something

26:46I am a businessman

26:48I supply the concrete

26:50I supply the workers

26:51Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

26:52Fine

26:53What are we gonna do about Johnson interfering?

26:57All we have to do is make sure that Marshall Grant stays in our pocket

27:01But Johnson's trying to get to the guy

27:03Now if Marshall changes his mind

27:06Then we can kiss Harlem revitalization bye-bye

27:11He's not gonna change his mind

27:12I'll tell you what I do

27:13I sit down with Marshall

27:15Make sure he understands what's at stake

27:17Good

27:19Good

27:21And once the project's finished

27:23Marshall's gonna have to go

27:25The man is practically an octogenarian

27:31He's lived a good long life, I'm sure

27:33Salud

27:40I understand the school's policy

27:47I absolutely will

27:50We need to talk, young lady

27:54I'm tired

27:56The principal of your school just called me

27:58You've been suspended?

28:01Mr. Williams is the one that should be kicked out

28:03Did you or did you not talk back to your teacher

28:07The same way you're talking back to me right now?

28:10And you still managed to disturb your class?

28:13It's not my fault Mr. Williams doesn't know the facts

28:15I raised you better than this

28:18We conduct ourselves in a respectable manner

28:22No matter what the circumstance

28:24What's going on?

28:35That child is on my last nerve

28:37Margaret

28:49Margaret

28:49What's going on?

29:03It's not like you to be disruptive

29:06You can tell me

29:10You want to know what really goes on in class?

29:18Of course

29:20It's happening to a lot of kids

29:49I got a feeling that you didn't leave the South to come up here and rob me

30:03I suggest you return that duty you're just kidding

30:05I got a feeling that you didn't leave the South to come up here and rob me

30:15I suggest you return that duty you're just kidding

30:18I got a feeling you ain't my pops

30:23And you don't know nothing about why I didn't came from anywhere

30:26You're always so salty

30:28If you care about the duty so much

30:32Why you just give it back to the Italians in the old way

30:34I like to stay at peace with the gigantes

30:37What about the rest of them?

30:40Who they is?

30:40Joe Colombo, Lucchese, Gambino

30:43They're all in the doujie game too

30:45Why'd you come up to Harlem?

30:51You didn't come to Harlem, did you?

30:56You runned here

30:58You was chased

31:01Get your man

31:06Nah, not what you done ran here from

31:10Like the same reason as you

31:12Went to live somewhere black

31:14Where I'd wake up in the morning

31:16Without a hate or a boo hag

31:19Sitting on my chest

31:20Sucking all the life out of me

31:22Shit, I

31:24I don't know nothing about all that

31:28I came in to make some bread

31:30And yet

31:31When I gave you a job

31:33You skimed the doujie

31:35Gave me a job

31:37Nah

31:40You chose me for that job

31:43Cause I was expendable

31:45And now you gonna school me?

31:49Huh?

31:50Let me learn you something, Mr. Johnson

31:52Ain't no man

31:54Lord over me

31:56I'm the boss of me

31:58You a punk

32:03And a fool

32:05The job I gave you was a test

32:08You failed

32:09Just like you're feeling again right now

32:12Get out

32:14Don't make me deliver your ass to the devil

32:18Cross me once more

32:20And I will

32:21As you both know

32:29The law allows teachers to punish disobedient children

32:32Blushing a student isn't punishment

32:35It's abuse

32:36Your child was insubordinate

32:38I don't give a goddamn iota what Margaret's offense was

32:41You should know

32:42That there are other students with bruises

32:46I don't see those other mothers here

32:48But your daughter's been a troublemaker

32:51She talks back to Mr. Williams

32:54Quite honestly, we're here to talk about Mr. Williams

32:57That man abused Margaret

32:59He hit her with a yardstick

33:00Ladies, ladies, please

33:02I'll speak to Mr. Williams directly

33:05No, you'll fire Mr. Williams

33:06I think it's time you left my office

33:10We aren't going anywhere

33:12Until we get justice

33:14You'll have to leave the premises now

33:18Don't make me call the police

33:22Man was sure was pretty

33:39Yeah

33:40Until you drove her to drink

33:43I want to apologize for pressing into your apartment last time

33:48What do you want this time?

33:50Break a window?

33:51I didn't come here to make a problem with you, Mr. G

33:53Scam artists never want problems, do they?

33:58Fred Straub is the one who's running the scam

33:59Not me

34:00Straub is the one paying my rent

34:03That ain't no scam

34:05That's an agreement

34:06I'll happily provide you with more than rent money

34:10For starters

34:11You can flash all the cash you want, boy

34:15Money don't make the man

34:18The man make the man

34:20Boy

34:21This is Bumpy Johnson you're talking to, show some respect

34:25Why?

34:26He ain't earned it

34:27You're about to earn yourself a thorough ass whooping

34:29Pitagree, ease up, okay?

34:31I ain't letting him talk to you like that

34:32The man is an elder

34:34Don't think you impress me, Ellsworth

34:36You the same boy you always been

34:39Be as little bubs inside you

34:44Come on, y'all want my money by this afternoon

34:53I know we up there

34:55Where's the pusher?

35:09Where's the pusher?

35:39Where's the pusher?

36:09Nice ring.

36:20This spaghetti is damn good. Let me tell you.

36:24You like it? It's called Papanel alla Caminara.

36:27It's the best you can find in America.

36:30I have a special delivered from Bomani's,

36:32low in a very nice bottle of Chianti.

36:36Listen, there's something pressing

36:39I'd like to discuss with you.

36:41I'm sorry, Mr. Colombo,

36:43but if it's about that white fellow Straub,

36:45I don't want to hear it.

36:47Oh, it's about Bumpy Johnson.

36:50Do you know each other?

36:53Used to. Not anymore.

36:58So you haven't met recently?

37:01He showed up at my pad.

37:04He wanted to talk to me about that lot on 125th.

37:09What did he say?

37:11Some shit about how he owned it.

37:16And he offered you anything?

37:18Blood money. The man's an upright criminal.

37:22That's how he come out the womb.

37:24Well, I take it you're not a fan of Johnson.

37:27You could say I got a grudge.

37:31And I'm still nursing that grudge right now.

37:35Mr. Grant.

37:38Listen, it's very important

37:43that you don't break a deal with Fred Strong.

37:46He didn't say what I'm saying.

37:58We should tell Daddy.

37:59No. No, we cannot tell your father.

38:02Why, because he'll kill my teacher?

38:03Oh, Margaret, please.

38:05Your father would never.

38:06I have eyes, Mama.

38:08I know what Daddy does for a living.

38:10He spent 11 years in jail because of it.

38:13Which is exactly where he'll go back to

38:15if anyone so much lays a hand on your teacher.

38:18If we don't tell Daddy,

38:19Mr. Williams will get away with abusing half my class.

38:22Then there are other moms who feel the same as us.

38:25I say we rallied them to protest.

38:27We step foot on school property.

38:29That principal will call the police on us.

38:31We'll be arrested.

38:33Or worse.

38:34Not necessarily.

38:39Not if we have help.

38:46My secret?

38:47I just put a small amount of olive oil on the cloth

38:49and rub into the leather.

38:53Forgive me, brother.

38:54Mind if I sit?

38:55I owe you an apology.

38:58Have a seat.

38:59I called you out at my book signing.

39:04But I'm the one that turned my back on Harlem.

39:06I went off to France.

39:08It was selfish.

39:10We missed you while you was gone, Jimmy.

39:13Selfish.

39:16I wanted out of the ghetto.

39:17I needed air.

39:19But in truth,

39:21I was trying to run away from being black.

39:25You weren't black in Paris?

39:26Brother, if I learned anything overseas,

39:29I learned that I am a Negro man.

39:32I am always black.

39:34Loud and proud.

39:37And if you ask me,

39:39the best thing that we can do as black people

39:42is to remember who we are.

39:45We need to defend ourselves against white aggression.

39:47And I hope we can shield each other along the way.

39:51Oh, this probably got a silver tongue.

39:53Don't he, Bumpy?

39:54It's not just Whitey.

39:57I've been trying to build something.

39:59Black folks putting stones in my path.

40:02Is what you're trying to build for you or for them?

40:05It's for all of us.

40:08Then why don't you take those stones

40:10folks are putting in your path

40:12and let them be a part of the foundation?

40:18Open up.

40:20Bumpy needs to see you.

40:25I can't. I-I got plans today.

40:29I-I-I-I just can't.

40:35Rearrange your schedule.

40:36Well now, look who's here.

40:45You gonna kill me?

40:47One thing's for sure.

40:48I'm done reasoning with you.

40:51Why you bring me here then?

40:53Why didn't you just shoot me in the head?

40:56I-I'm not trying to intimidate you, Mr. G.

40:59But I gotta find some way to open your eyes.

41:03My eyes are wide open.

41:06And what I'm looking at is a damn gangster.

41:09There are all kinds of gangsters.

41:11Black ones, white ones.

41:13Straub is a corporate gangster.

41:15Well, I can't do nothing to stop any of you.

41:19Is that true?

41:21You have all the power, you just don't realize it.

41:23I don't have no power.

41:26I never have.

41:28The future of Harlem rests in your hands.

41:32And I'm gonna drag your ass to Straub's office to prove it.

41:37Pellis, get the car.

41:40We anticipate starting construction within the next three months.

42:09Sorry, sir.

42:10I couldn't stop them.

42:11Mr. Johnson, what do we owe the pleasure?

42:14And I see you brought a friend with you.

42:17I thought you knew each other.

42:19This is Marshall Grant.

42:21You're a straw man?

42:34What the hell do you people think you're doing here?

42:39I ordered you to leave this building at once.

42:43Sisters, are we in a school house or are we in a slave house?

42:48Keep your hands off our kids!

42:50Free, Tony! Free, Tony!

42:52Free, Tony!

42:53I just want to let the owner of these buildings see what you've got planned for his properties.

42:58You don't mind, do you?

43:01No.

43:02No.

43:03Of course.

43:04Be my guest.

43:06As you can see, it's a magnificent, multi-structure complex.

43:10They will displace Harlem residents.

43:12Exaggeration.

43:13Displacement might occur in some instances as a practical necessity, but it's not something I anticipate.

43:20In these halls or on those streets, what are we actually punished for?

43:26The color of our skin?

43:28The texture of our hair?

43:30The shape of our bodies?

43:32Or is it just the fact that we exist at all?

43:36Is that our crime?

43:38Touch my daughter again and I'll beat your ass.

43:40That's right!

43:41Check out the skyscraper.

43:44These gentlemen will get to see the sun.

43:47The rest of us will get to live in the shadows.

43:50I want to build a place for us folks where we can just be.

43:56You all can come visit if you like, but when you come, no one will be buying their heads to you.

44:03And when the cops come, they won't be putting their boots on their necks.

44:08These people never learn.

44:12Let's remind them who's in charge.

44:20No more violence in all schools!

44:23No more abuse in our community!

44:26Dr. Pete!

44:32Fire that teacher, or we are never going to leave.

44:35You want to test stuff?

44:39Big!

44:46Percy's parking garage.

44:48Huh?

44:49Are you going to tear down the Apollo Theater to put this up?

44:54Well, this is all subject to review.

44:57There will be a great need for parking structures with a project of this magnitude, and ideally we'd like to create some-

45:03I'm selling.

45:05Pardon me?

45:07Oh, that's exactly what we wanted to hear, Mr. Grant.

45:10I'm selling my property.

45:12Giving my 40 acres and my damn mule to Bumpy Johnson.

45:19I can sell it to you for a dollar.

45:21That'll be two rows of pennies, please.

45:24I can do that.

45:25I can do that.

45:26I can do that.

45:27Yes.

45:28Yes, sir.

45:29Yes, sir.

45:30I'm here to see Joe Colombo.

45:34He's got a business proposition for him.

45:35Yes, sir.

45:36Yes, sir.

45:37I'm here to see Joe Colombo.

45:39He's got a business proposition for him.

45:53So you're the Joe Colombo I've been hearing so much about?

46:06Well, it depends on what the fuck you heard.

46:10Folks saying you the shit.

46:12Man that wants to own the whole avenue.

46:14Who wants to own?

46:15That's right.

46:17If you're going to business with me, he'll be owning Harlem.

46:26Who the fuck are you?

46:31I'm Frank Lucas.

46:33Motherfucker that just scooped up 20 kilos of high-quality dough.

46:37Well, that out there done fell off a truck.

46:47The whole new place.

46:52So?

46:58This?

47:00This is it?

47:03Shoot.

47:05This is all right.

47:08One more thing.

47:18No even.

47:21Who'd have thought?

47:23Hmm?

47:25Bumpy Jones.

47:26This is his turn.

47:27Steve Peck Jones.

47:28Woo!

47:29You go, you go.

47:30This is his turn.

47:31I'm not feeling good.

47:46You're feeling good.

47:47Yeah.

47:48That's fine.

47:49You're feeling good.
