1
00:00:09,557 --> 00:00:12,722
You gonna be all right.
You'll be all right.
2
00:00:19,149 --> 00:00:22,517
My name's Malizy. I's the cook.
3
00:00:22,944 --> 00:00:26,146
You best know about Massa Tom Moore.
4
00:00:26,948 --> 00:00:30,565
He's one of them white men
that likes nigger women.
5
00:00:30,785 --> 00:00:32,361
Young ones.
6
00:00:34,830 --> 00:00:38,992
He'll be bothering you
most every night for a while.
7
00:00:40,086 --> 00:00:42,410
Used to bother me, but no more.
8
00:00:45,675 --> 00:00:49,422
No sense in fretting.
Ain't nothing you can do.
9
00:00:50,345 --> 00:00:54,638
He stud you till you has a baby.
Then he leave you alone.
10
00:00:56,185 --> 00:00:59,766
Massa Tom Moore no worse
than most white men.
11
00:01:00,438 --> 00:01:01,682
Even fair.
12
00:01:04,317 --> 00:01:05,691
Depends on you.
13
00:01:07,863 --> 00:01:11,313
He figures you gotta deserve
what you get.
14
00:01:17,121 --> 00:01:20,121
When I has my baby...
15
00:01:20,333 --> 00:01:22,490
...he gonna be a boy.
16
00:01:23,086 --> 00:01:25,706
And when that boy grow up...
17
00:01:25,921 --> 00:01:28,589
...I promise you one thing:
18
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:32,878
Massa Tom Moore gonna get
what he deserve.
19
00:02:34,738 --> 00:02:37,607
Welcome, Mr. Bennett.
Welcome to our home.
20
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:40,361
It's not so fine
as what you're used to.
21
00:02:40,577 --> 00:02:43,577
Your smile will make
any house a mansion.
22
00:02:43,788 --> 00:02:47,535
- For heaven's sake.
- Well said, sir. You have a gift.
23
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:50,750
No, not in comparison
to my boy, Sam, here.
24
00:02:50,962 --> 00:02:53,416
He's a terrible one for the ladies.
25
00:02:53,631 --> 00:02:54,744
Yes, sir.
26
00:02:54,965 --> 00:02:58,796
Not much to choose from here.
I don't keep many slaves.
27
00:02:59,011 --> 00:03:03,636
Mr. Bennett, won't you step inside
and rest yourself?
28
00:03:03,849 --> 00:03:05,472
Thank you, ma'am.
29
00:03:05,684 --> 00:03:10,843
Kizzy, girl. That driver got
his eye glued on you. Just glued!
30
00:03:11,398 --> 00:03:16,224
Smile at him. Bee needs a sniff
of honey to keep him buzzing around.
31
00:03:18,488 --> 00:03:21,357
I'd sooner die than smile
at that peacock.
32
00:03:21,574 --> 00:03:26,911
Girl, pride is a deadly sin
and you is too young to die.
33
00:03:43,262 --> 00:03:44,719
Mama?
34
00:03:46,306 --> 00:03:47,965
I...
35
00:03:48,517 --> 00:03:52,976
- I can't eat supper with you tonight.
- Why you can't?
36
00:03:53,188 --> 00:03:58,561
Gotta get the chickens ready.
Massa showing off to some gamecocker.
37
00:03:58,985 --> 00:04:03,610
Massa! I made you a special supper,
all the things you like.
38
00:04:08,870 --> 00:04:13,080
Can't help it. Me and Mingo
gonna be getting them birds ready.
39
00:04:15,793 --> 00:04:20,288
Now, what you getting
all fussed about? It ain't my fault.
40
00:04:20,506 --> 00:04:22,082
Go on and say it.
41
00:04:23,049 --> 00:04:26,464
"Georgie, I swear you loves
them roosters...
42
00:04:26,678 --> 00:04:30,046
...more than you loves
your own mama.
43
00:04:30,682 --> 00:04:34,678
Why can't you be like
your granddaddy, the African...
44
00:04:34,894 --> 00:04:37,680
...and get some learning?"
I'll tell you why.
45
00:04:37,897 --> 00:04:41,596
Nobody gonna cut off my foot
for no damn fool runaway.
46
00:04:41,818 --> 00:04:44,390
Keep your mocking tongue
off my daddy!
47
00:04:44,654 --> 00:04:47,938
Least he weren't like you,
slave down to your bones.
48
00:04:48,157 --> 00:04:52,367
You think you smart?
I may not be much older than you...
49
00:04:52,578 --> 00:04:57,203
...but I am your mama
and I'll make something of you.
50
00:04:57,416 --> 00:04:59,906
You gonna do as I say.
51
00:05:02,170 --> 00:05:04,078
All right, Mama.
52
00:05:05,257 --> 00:05:08,707
I'll tell massa, "I can't tend
your chickens tonight.
53
00:05:08,927 --> 00:05:11,595
My mama wants me
to eat supper with her."
54
00:05:18,436 --> 00:05:19,597
Get on out of here.
55
00:05:20,730 --> 00:05:22,139
Thank you, Mama.
56
00:05:29,488 --> 00:05:32,606
I think Massa Bennett wants
to see old red.
57
00:05:32,825 --> 00:05:34,567
Yes, sir!
58
00:05:35,161 --> 00:05:36,951
Come on there, red.
59
00:05:39,206 --> 00:05:41,612
Show him that gamecock, boy!
60
00:05:44,795 --> 00:05:47,332
Here he is, old red!
61
00:05:47,548 --> 00:05:50,298
Come on, now. Come on.
62
00:05:50,509 --> 00:05:54,090
Catch it if you can, now.
You badass, come on.
63
00:05:54,304 --> 00:05:56,011
Bad chicken. Look it.
64
00:05:59,643 --> 00:06:00,970
Come on.
65
00:06:02,396 --> 00:06:04,268
Come on.
66
00:06:05,147 --> 00:06:07,387
Time you got pitted anyway.
67
00:06:08,234 --> 00:06:09,775
Catch it. Catch it.
68
00:06:14,115 --> 00:06:16,402
Enough. Don't run him to death.
69
00:06:16,617 --> 00:06:20,448
Nothing gonna kill that red devil,
except a spur.
70
00:06:20,996 --> 00:06:24,827
It's a fine bird. Your stock
will strengthen our breed.
71
00:06:25,376 --> 00:06:27,083
That's all, boys.
72
00:06:30,714 --> 00:06:32,255
- Boy?
- Yes, sir?
73
00:06:32,466 --> 00:06:35,335
You have a sure hand with a gamecock.
74
00:06:35,969 --> 00:06:37,166
Thank you, sir.
75
00:06:37,387 --> 00:06:41,798
But ain't nothing I knows except
what massa and Mingo teached me.
76
00:06:42,016 --> 00:06:44,588
Where's that fancy nigger of yours?
77
00:06:44,811 --> 00:06:49,555
Last I saw, he was chasing a plump
chicken with a speckled bandanna.
78
00:06:52,861 --> 00:06:56,359
I bet you give that man of yours
one devil of a time.
79
00:06:56,572 --> 00:06:58,896
I be by myself, thank you.
80
00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:02,320
Look here... How is you called?
81
00:07:02,536 --> 00:07:03,993
Kizzy.
82
00:07:11,295 --> 00:07:12,669
Look here.
83
00:07:13,463 --> 00:07:15,703
These are for you, pretty Kizzy.
84
00:07:16,133 --> 00:07:21,090
Thank you. Massa Moore be mighty
obliged, you weeding his garden.
85
00:07:21,304 --> 00:07:24,968
Woman, you has a sharp tongue!
But I likes you.
86
00:07:25,183 --> 00:07:27,851
Yes, I likes you in spite of yourself.
87
00:07:28,812 --> 00:07:32,559
What you say me and you
go out walking this evening?
88
00:07:32,898 --> 00:07:34,391
What you want with me?
89
00:07:34,608 --> 00:07:38,189
What any healthy man want
with a fine-looking woman.
90
00:07:38,404 --> 00:07:41,107
You can want what you want
all you want.
91
00:07:41,324 --> 00:07:42,698
Now, look here.
92
00:07:43,076 --> 00:07:48,200
I ain't gonna be here but for
this week. Ain't you got any heart?
93
00:07:48,413 --> 00:07:50,950
If I do, Mr. Fancy Driver...
94
00:07:51,166 --> 00:07:54,949
...nobody take it free
or buy it cheap.
95
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,665
His ears must be ringing!
96
00:08:00,884 --> 00:08:05,794
Well, Sister Sara, my lungs is
in the service of the Lord. Amen!
97
00:08:06,014 --> 00:08:10,057
Daddy, you supposed
to baptize Joshua Clayborne.
98
00:08:10,267 --> 00:08:14,643
Yes. Thank you, Matilda.
Excuse me, ladies.
99
00:08:15,940 --> 00:08:20,399
Always good to see you, angel.
How's Georgie been treating you?
100
00:08:20,862 --> 00:08:24,312
It's my hope you
and my boy gonna jump the broom.
101
00:08:24,615 --> 00:08:28,398
Good wife like you just
what he need to steady him down.
102
00:08:29,119 --> 00:08:30,742
Miss Kizzy.
103
00:08:31,121 --> 00:08:35,995
I so partial to that sinful boy
of yours that I ashamed of myself.
104
00:08:36,418 --> 00:08:40,497
But I ain't gonna give him time
until he mends his ways.
105
00:08:40,755 --> 00:08:42,378
That's what I'm saying!
106
00:08:42,591 --> 00:08:46,670
We got to grab the evil,
a scaly creature...
107
00:08:46,887 --> 00:08:51,180
...by his slimy neck, you see
and then you just shake him out!
108
00:08:51,391 --> 00:08:56,811
I say you shake him good! And then
you tussle him on down, you see...
109
00:08:57,063 --> 00:08:59,469
...and then you tell him straight out.
110
00:08:59,691 --> 00:09:01,682
Tell him straight out.
111
00:09:01,900 --> 00:09:06,477
You say, "Get thee behind me, Satan.
I say, get thee behind me."
112
00:09:06,697 --> 00:09:10,112
"The Lord, the Lord am with me!"
113
00:09:10,326 --> 00:09:13,242
I say, "Get thee behind me, Satan!"
114
00:09:13,495 --> 00:09:15,985
George Moore, you stop this second!
115
00:09:16,957 --> 00:09:21,534
Oh, well, it's always so nice
to see a new face at the services.
116
00:09:21,795 --> 00:09:24,035
I'm so glad you could join...
117
00:09:24,298 --> 00:09:27,915
You is mocking my daddy!
118
00:09:28,384 --> 00:09:32,215
- You is no-account, George Moore!
- Wait...
119
00:09:32,472 --> 00:09:34,677
Excuse me a minute.
120
00:09:37,435 --> 00:09:40,138
Tildy! I's sorry.
121
00:09:40,771 --> 00:09:44,269
You know I don't mean nothing
against your daddy.
122
00:09:44,483 --> 00:09:47,399
- Don't nothing matter to you?
- You matter to me.
123
00:09:47,612 --> 00:09:50,565
Even though you always
a preacher's daughter.
124
00:09:50,822 --> 00:09:55,648
Save that for them giggling ninnies
who follows you around.
125
00:09:57,663 --> 00:10:01,244
- Come here, Tildy.
- Leave me alone, George Moore.
126
00:10:01,667 --> 00:10:04,702
Go on, do what you want.
127
00:10:05,295 --> 00:10:08,828
- It ain't nothing to me.
- Oh, it ain't, huh?
128
00:10:09,049 --> 00:10:11,040
Then how come you shaking?
129
00:10:11,927 --> 00:10:17,003
I wanna show you what does matter.
Something I ain't showed other girls.
130
00:10:39,078 --> 00:10:42,576
If you's handing out kisses,
where do the line start?
131
00:10:42,789 --> 00:10:44,745
I ain't handing any out.
132
00:10:44,958 --> 00:10:48,373
What you giving that chicken trainer,
young George?
133
00:10:48,587 --> 00:10:50,709
George is special.
134
00:10:51,298 --> 00:10:55,793
- He anything to you, girl?
- He my son.
135
00:10:57,345 --> 00:10:59,301
You the boy's mama, huh?
136
00:11:00,473 --> 00:11:03,757
Well, Lord, Lord,
don't that beat all!
137
00:11:06,562 --> 00:11:07,936
Look here...
138
00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:12,772
...if you's going home, I thought
I'd see you safe to your cabin.
139
00:11:12,985 --> 00:11:14,976
You thought wrong as usual.
140
00:11:15,196 --> 00:11:18,112
Come on now, what you scared of, girl?
141
00:11:18,699 --> 00:11:22,446
I ain't scared of nothing,
least of all you.
142
00:11:22,661 --> 00:11:26,954
Shouldn't be no reason I can't
see you home, should there?
143
00:11:32,336 --> 00:11:35,205
Do the boy know
the massa's his daddy?
144
00:11:35,632 --> 00:11:38,834
He used to ask, but I never told him.
145
00:11:39,302 --> 00:11:42,005
If he has a notion,
he don't ask no more.
146
00:11:42,222 --> 00:11:45,257
- He gonna find out someday.
- Not from me.
147
00:11:45,474 --> 00:11:47,964
Ain't nothing I wants to crow about.
148
00:11:48,185 --> 00:11:53,095
I used to pray that George'd kill Massa
Moore when he was old enough.
149
00:11:53,316 --> 00:11:56,849
But I got older and wanted
my boy to be older too...
150
00:11:57,068 --> 00:11:58,395
...so I give it up.
151
00:11:58,612 --> 00:12:02,443
Don't you be talking about
niggers hurting white folks.
152
00:12:02,658 --> 00:12:05,990
- You know it ain't healthy.
- Ain't no fear of that.
153
00:12:06,203 --> 00:12:08,871
They closer than
finger and thumb...
154
00:12:09,081 --> 00:12:12,994
...off to those cockfights
with old Mingo every week.
155
00:12:13,585 --> 00:12:16,335
Well, this is my place.
156
00:12:20,133 --> 00:12:22,290
Do the boy stay here with you?
157
00:12:22,510 --> 00:12:25,463
He stay where he's happy,
with his chickens.
158
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:29,297
Well, what we standing
out here for? Let's go inside.
159
00:12:29,517 --> 00:12:32,801
You wanted to see me home safe.
I's safe now.
160
00:12:33,020 --> 00:12:35,177
Thank you and goodbye.
161
00:12:36,398 --> 00:12:39,433
I thinks you powerful lonesome, Kizzy.
162
00:12:39,651 --> 00:12:43,434
Well, if I is,
it ain't for the likes of you.
163
00:12:43,656 --> 00:12:47,818
Woman, you has a lot of pride.
But I admire you for it.
164
00:12:48,034 --> 00:12:50,358
But I's a prideful man myself.
165
00:12:50,578 --> 00:12:52,653
And you ain't nourishing it.
166
00:12:52,872 --> 00:12:56,785
Now, you can go on in there
and shut the door on me...
167
00:12:57,002 --> 00:12:59,326
...but if you do, do it for good.
168
00:12:59,546 --> 00:13:02,830
Because I ain't gonna come
knocking no more.
169
00:13:11,224 --> 00:13:12,468
Well?
170
00:13:12,683 --> 00:13:15,517
What you standing out there for, fool?
171
00:13:26,446 --> 00:13:29,896
Look at them stags go at it.
Ain't it something?
172
00:13:31,118 --> 00:13:33,074
Easy, easy!
173
00:13:33,286 --> 00:13:35,076
You'll have your day.
174
00:13:35,289 --> 00:13:37,826
- Ain't you scared?
- Scared?
175
00:13:38,875 --> 00:13:43,085
I love these birds.
They like my babies.
176
00:13:44,088 --> 00:13:45,118
Good boy.
177
00:13:45,340 --> 00:13:49,668
It's time they mated.
That's what the ruckus is about.
178
00:13:49,886 --> 00:13:53,088
Nothing's more ornery
than a game bird...
179
00:13:53,347 --> 00:13:57,213
...without a covey of hens
to soothe him.
180
00:13:57,435 --> 00:14:01,348
- It's the way of nature.
- It's the way of dumb critters.
181
00:14:01,856 --> 00:14:04,096
It's fine for them.
182
00:14:04,483 --> 00:14:06,439
I ain't no dumb critter.
183
00:14:06,818 --> 00:14:09,771
Won't think or live like one.
184
00:14:10,030 --> 00:14:13,195
And I sure don't want
to be treated like one.
185
00:14:15,785 --> 00:14:17,860
Tildy...
186
00:14:32,802 --> 00:14:35,173
Time I was getting home.
187
00:14:42,978 --> 00:14:45,646
What you looking at me like that for?
188
00:14:46,648 --> 00:14:49,398
You is a gentle man.
189
00:14:49,860 --> 00:14:54,437
Something about you brings out
the gentle in me.
190
00:14:57,784 --> 00:14:59,740
Sam Bennett.
191
00:15:00,662 --> 00:15:02,949
What's your real name, Sam?
192
00:15:03,164 --> 00:15:05,618
- Just that.
- No, it ain't.
193
00:15:05,834 --> 00:15:10,080
That's your slave name.
My slave name's Kizzy Moore.
194
00:15:10,296 --> 00:15:13,628
My real name's Kizzy Kinte,
after my daddy.
195
00:15:13,841 --> 00:15:16,046
What is you talking about?
196
00:15:16,260 --> 00:15:19,959
About where we come from.
About Africa.
197
00:15:20,180 --> 00:15:23,014
What we was before we were slaves.
198
00:15:24,768 --> 00:15:29,310
Nothing's a bigger pain than a nigger
with Africa on his mind.
199
00:15:29,523 --> 00:15:31,810
What's so grand about Africa?
200
00:15:32,025 --> 00:15:33,186
You know...
201
00:15:33,443 --> 00:15:37,653
...I drive and see more than most
Africans dream about.
202
00:15:38,031 --> 00:15:41,730
You don't know how much
an African can dream.
203
00:15:43,078 --> 00:15:47,026
While driving, ever come upon
the Reynolds plantation?
204
00:15:47,582 --> 00:15:49,869
I reckon I have passed it.
205
00:15:50,084 --> 00:15:54,127
It's about four hours
away from here. Why?
206
00:15:55,340 --> 00:15:58,126
I got some folks I know there.
207
00:15:59,259 --> 00:16:01,250
At least I think I do.
208
00:16:01,470 --> 00:16:04,138
- Who that?
- My mama and my daddy.
209
00:16:05,182 --> 00:16:07,469
And I'm longing to see them.
210
00:16:08,269 --> 00:16:11,886
You're a girl full of longings,
ain't you?
211
00:16:13,482 --> 00:16:15,224
Yes, I is.
212
00:16:27,579 --> 00:16:30,448
Girl, don't put no hex on me!
213
00:16:30,665 --> 00:16:35,290
I'm not putting a hex on you, fool!
I'm writing your name.
214
00:16:35,502 --> 00:16:37,410
S-A-M.
215
00:16:37,630 --> 00:16:40,001
Where you learn that?
216
00:16:40,216 --> 00:16:44,343
Young Missy teach me,
on another plantation.
217
00:16:44,553 --> 00:16:47,588
Well, best you just forget it.
218
00:16:47,931 --> 00:16:51,381
Massa don't like black folks
reading and writing.
219
00:16:51,601 --> 00:16:53,972
Why you worried what massa like?
220
00:16:54,187 --> 00:16:56,677
I's only worried about you.
221
00:16:57,608 --> 00:17:00,940
I don't want no harm
to come to you is all.
222
00:17:01,611 --> 00:17:02,938
Come here.
223
00:17:30,013 --> 00:17:32,763
Kizzy, if I didn't know better...
224
00:17:32,975 --> 00:17:36,425
...I'd say you was working on
getting me fat.
225
00:17:36,645 --> 00:17:41,471
- All this food you handing out...
- Don't want you fat, Sam.
226
00:17:41,691 --> 00:17:44,774
Just trying to keep up your strength.
227
00:17:56,497 --> 00:17:58,654
- Come here.
- Leave me be.
228
00:17:58,875 --> 00:18:01,412
- I got work to do.
- So has I!
229
00:18:01,628 --> 00:18:03,418
Come on, now, stop.
230
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,955
Lord, Lord.
231
00:18:11,095 --> 00:18:12,469
Look here...
232
00:18:13,848 --> 00:18:16,005
I sure is thirsty, girl.
233
00:18:17,225 --> 00:18:19,679
Has you got any water in here?
234
00:18:21,646 --> 00:18:22,759
Fetch me some.
235
00:18:27,819 --> 00:18:29,894
I glad to do that.
236
00:18:31,948 --> 00:18:35,150
Got some lovely fresh spring water.
237
00:18:35,702 --> 00:18:39,152
I'm taking it from
the bottom of the barrel...
238
00:18:39,372 --> 00:18:42,158
...so it'll be nice and cool.
239
00:18:42,875 --> 00:18:44,997
Oh, that's good.
240
00:18:52,843 --> 00:18:55,463
Here's your water, Samuel, dear.
241
00:18:58,014 --> 00:19:01,132
- Why'd you do that?!
- Never say "Fetch me."
242
00:19:01,351 --> 00:19:05,098
You want something from me,
I glad to give it.
243
00:19:05,314 --> 00:19:06,937
But you ask.
244
00:19:07,148 --> 00:19:09,851
Bedding me don't mean
you can abuse me.
245
00:19:10,068 --> 00:19:13,601
I slave enough.
I won't be your slave.
246
00:19:25,541 --> 00:19:26,738
Come here.
247
00:19:27,418 --> 00:19:29,623
I mean, please.
248
00:19:31,005 --> 00:19:33,542
Pretty Kizzy, please come here.
249
00:19:34,049 --> 00:19:35,625
See now?
250
00:19:36,343 --> 00:19:39,627
"Please" gets his self pleased.
251
00:19:52,776 --> 00:19:54,317
Honey, what's wrong?
252
00:19:55,612 --> 00:19:57,899
Come on, tell me what's wrong.
253
00:19:59,782 --> 00:20:03,944
Oh, Sam, I loses everybody.
254
00:20:04,162 --> 00:20:05,192
Everybody.
255
00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:10,783
The first boy I ever loved.
256
00:20:11,001 --> 00:20:14,451
Noah, he was sold away.
257
00:20:15,297 --> 00:20:18,581
Then they took me from my mama
and my daddy.
258
00:20:19,343 --> 00:20:21,002
Now you'll go away.
259
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:23,176
Hush, girl, come here.
260
00:20:23,888 --> 00:20:28,050
Oh, Sam, what am I gonna do
after you're gone?
261
00:20:28,268 --> 00:20:29,761
What am I gonna do?
262
00:20:31,146 --> 00:20:33,636
Same as me.
263
00:20:33,899 --> 00:20:38,725
Go on living one day at a time
just like we always done.
264
00:20:38,986 --> 00:20:42,685
Come here. We got a whole lot
of night left.
265
00:20:53,417 --> 00:20:56,286
Mama! Mama, I wanna talk to you!
266
00:20:56,837 --> 00:21:00,418
"Good morning, Mama.
How you feeling this morning?
267
00:21:00,674 --> 00:21:03,757
- Fine..."
- I want to talk about you.
268
00:21:06,221 --> 00:21:08,924
Ain't you ashamed of yourself?
269
00:21:09,141 --> 00:21:14,430
Everybody knows that driver's been
in your cabin these nights.
270
00:21:14,979 --> 00:21:18,097
Don't you care about how I feel?
271
00:21:19,234 --> 00:21:22,352
It's a scandal.
I can't go nowhere...
272
00:21:22,654 --> 00:21:25,819
...without people laughing
and winking.
273
00:21:26,532 --> 00:21:30,943
- I won't stand for it.
- What won't you stand for?
274
00:21:31,162 --> 00:21:32,904
You let my mama be.
275
00:21:33,664 --> 00:21:35,904
I know all about you.
276
00:21:36,417 --> 00:21:40,413
And I's warning you.
You leave my mama be.
277
00:21:41,463 --> 00:21:43,953
Afraid I can't do that, boy.
278
00:21:44,841 --> 00:21:46,998
I'm marrying your mama.
279
00:21:47,386 --> 00:21:50,718
- Sam?
- Massa always told me...
280
00:21:50,930 --> 00:21:55,009
...if I find a girl I want to marry,
he'd buy her.
281
00:21:55,226 --> 00:21:56,885
Well, I asked him.
282
00:21:57,562 --> 00:21:59,304
And he's agreeable.
283
00:22:04,568 --> 00:22:06,974
Kizzy, I can't leave you.
284
00:22:08,155 --> 00:22:10,823
And it ain't for lack of trying.
285
00:22:12,577 --> 00:22:16,241
The boy's right about me,
far as I know.
286
00:22:16,747 --> 00:22:18,785
I've had a bunch of girls.
287
00:22:19,791 --> 00:22:21,581
That ain't no secret.
288
00:22:22,044 --> 00:22:24,664
I've been a rolling stone so long...
289
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,085
...I don't know any other way.
290
00:22:28,008 --> 00:22:32,384
I never stopped being lonely
till I met you.
291
00:22:34,931 --> 00:22:38,927
Scared me half to death,
wanting somebody so much.
292
00:22:40,228 --> 00:22:44,390
But I want you, Kizzy.
Will you have me?
293
00:22:47,235 --> 00:22:49,903
I can't answer you now, Sam.
294
00:22:50,863 --> 00:22:53,103
I got to puzzle things out.
295
00:22:54,283 --> 00:22:57,567
Puzzle fast. We ain't got much time.
296
00:23:03,667 --> 00:23:07,615
I admire the way you stand
up for your mama, boy.
297
00:23:07,837 --> 00:23:09,034
Does you proud.
298
00:23:29,442 --> 00:23:32,892
I reckon he's a good man, Mama.
299
00:23:34,363 --> 00:23:36,603
I reckon I could be wrong.
300
00:23:39,744 --> 00:23:43,610
- I can't leave. You need me.
- Don't you fret.
301
00:23:43,831 --> 00:23:47,364
Besides, we'll see each other
all the time.
302
00:23:47,584 --> 00:23:50,999
He being a driver and all,
and me...
303
00:23:51,254 --> 00:23:53,625
I travel with Massa Moore.
304
00:23:56,884 --> 00:23:58,163
Mama...
305
00:24:00,305 --> 00:24:03,091
You give me all you could give me.
306
00:24:07,896 --> 00:24:11,679
You got some happiness coming
to you in your life.
307
00:24:12,858 --> 00:24:17,151
Oh, Georgie. I loves you.
308
00:24:20,366 --> 00:24:23,449
It's gonna be all right, Mama.
309
00:24:24,244 --> 00:24:27,279
Don't you fret. It'll be all right.
310
00:24:36,256 --> 00:24:40,299
Everything has its price.
How much for the boy?
311
00:24:41,261 --> 00:24:43,929
I'll be straight with you.
312
00:24:44,139 --> 00:24:47,720
No amount of cash could pry
George from me.
313
00:24:47,933 --> 00:24:51,514
He's the best natural-born
chicken fighter...
314
00:24:51,729 --> 00:24:53,270
...there ever was.
315
00:24:53,481 --> 00:24:56,516
That nigger's my fortune
and my future.
316
00:24:56,734 --> 00:25:01,442
I don't disagree with you, Tom,
but I was obliged to try.
317
00:25:01,655 --> 00:25:05,603
Selling him would be foolish
and you're no fool.
318
00:25:05,826 --> 00:25:07,449
Thank you, sir.
319
00:25:08,078 --> 00:25:13,747
I've dined on French food from
Philadelphia to New Orleans.
320
00:25:13,958 --> 00:25:18,168
Nothing lingers on the palate
like good country cooking.
321
00:25:18,421 --> 00:25:21,836
- That was a fine meal, ma'am.
- Thank you, sir.
322
00:25:30,266 --> 00:25:35,223
Mr. Bennett, can I offer you
the hospitality of my slave row?
323
00:25:35,438 --> 00:25:38,272
- Not tonight, thank you.
- You sure?
324
00:25:38,482 --> 00:25:41,150
Nothing rounds off a meal better.
325
00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:43,932
A great tradition of civilized living.
326
00:25:44,154 --> 00:25:49,064
- Some other time. I'm a bit tired.
- Up to you, sir.
327
00:25:49,910 --> 00:25:52,744
Can I get you anything more?
328
00:25:52,954 --> 00:25:58,113
No, thank you, ma'am. If you'll
excuse me, I'm about to retire.
329
00:25:59,127 --> 00:26:03,289
Mrs. Moore, Tom. Fine meal.
330
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,720
I'm feeling sluggish myself.
331
00:26:21,941 --> 00:26:26,649
- Mind if I walk and enjoy a cigar?
- Of course not.
332
00:26:27,989 --> 00:26:31,238
I may be a while.
333
00:26:31,908 --> 00:26:34,528
If you're tired, don't wait up.
334
00:26:35,037 --> 00:26:38,120
That's very considerate of you.
335
00:26:38,332 --> 00:26:41,996
Well, good night.
336
00:26:42,210 --> 00:26:44,118
Good night.
337
00:26:48,049 --> 00:26:51,002
Don't catch anything
on your walk.
338
00:26:53,513 --> 00:26:55,967
There's a little nip in the air.
339
00:27:18,537 --> 00:27:20,327
Sam?
340
00:27:35,469 --> 00:27:39,050
It's been quite a while, huh, Kizzy?
341
00:28:11,587 --> 00:28:13,744
I haven't got all night.
342
00:28:13,965 --> 00:28:16,455
- No!
- What did you say?
343
00:28:18,261 --> 00:28:21,842
No, massa, please.
344
00:28:24,224 --> 00:28:26,180
I'm gonna be married.
345
00:28:26,393 --> 00:28:29,761
I know that.
I agreed to it, didn't I?
346
00:28:38,739 --> 00:28:40,695
Got me another boot.
347
00:28:59,050 --> 00:29:02,797
- Massa loan me the rig today.
- He treat you good...
348
00:29:03,012 --> 00:29:05,549
...letting you have this rig.
349
00:29:05,765 --> 00:29:10,141
And traveling passes too.
Oh, he one fine massa.
350
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,725
Treat me just like I's white!
351
00:29:12,938 --> 00:29:15,724
- Yes, you gonna like it up there.
- Sam?
352
00:29:15,941 --> 00:29:17,268
- What?
- Take me.
353
00:29:17,484 --> 00:29:19,641
Where? What you talking about?
354
00:29:19,903 --> 00:29:22,393
To Mama and Daddy at the plantation.
355
00:29:22,614 --> 00:29:26,147
I don't know about that.
That's four hours away.
356
00:29:26,367 --> 00:29:30,233
Please. I ain't been away
since I got here.
357
00:29:30,455 --> 00:29:34,321
I'd do anything to see my folks
to tell them about us.
358
00:29:34,543 --> 00:29:39,784
Sam, take me there. I won't ask
you anything again as long as we live.
359
00:29:42,383 --> 00:29:45,916
Come on, now, back off.
You'll have us in a ditch.
360
00:30:00,276 --> 00:30:04,486
OI' Toby went about two years ago.
361
00:30:05,363 --> 00:30:09,656
After your mama, Bell,
was sold to the traveling slaver...
362
00:30:09,868 --> 00:30:13,236
...he just faded.
363
00:30:14,331 --> 00:30:19,039
- Lord, that crazy African.
- What do you mean, crazy?
364
00:30:19,335 --> 00:30:22,833
All he ever talked about
was running away.
365
00:30:23,047 --> 00:30:26,212
Plotting about escaping
till he die...
366
00:30:26,426 --> 00:30:29,544
...and him not hardly able to walk.
367
00:30:30,888 --> 00:30:34,053
I was with him
when he passed to glory.
368
00:30:35,267 --> 00:30:38,101
Did he say anything before he died?
369
00:30:38,312 --> 00:30:40,980
Nothing I could make no sense of...
370
00:30:41,189 --> 00:30:44,438
...just jabbered away in African.
371
00:30:44,901 --> 00:30:48,185
He kept saying something like:
372
00:30:48,405 --> 00:30:51,570
"Belong..."
"Belong" something.
373
00:30:51,992 --> 00:30:54,232
Were it Kamby Bolongo?
374
00:30:54,577 --> 00:30:58,905
That's right. He kept saying it
over and over.
375
00:31:04,129 --> 00:31:05,670
Like he were praying.
376
00:31:06,047 --> 00:31:11,384
- Kamby Bolongo? What that mean?
- It mean "river."
377
00:31:12,428 --> 00:31:16,471
It was one of the first things
he ever taught me.
378
00:31:17,934 --> 00:31:20,554
I sorry about your folks, miss.
379
00:31:22,396 --> 00:31:25,265
I sure miss that old African.
380
00:31:26,984 --> 00:31:29,984
I'd like to be alone for a while.
381
00:31:38,286 --> 00:31:42,199
Daddy, Mama.
382
00:31:43,667 --> 00:31:45,575
Wherever you be...
383
00:31:45,793 --> 00:31:48,543
...oh, I miss you so.
384
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,461
I'm sorry you died without my comfort.
385
00:31:54,927 --> 00:31:58,793
I guess you worried
about what happened to me.
386
00:31:59,765 --> 00:32:03,382
Well, it ain't so bad.
387
00:32:03,602 --> 00:32:08,512
I've had my sorrows just like you,
and my joys.
388
00:32:10,650 --> 00:32:13,815
I got me a son, George.
389
00:32:14,654 --> 00:32:17,357
I wish you could see him.
390
00:32:17,657 --> 00:32:19,732
He's tall and strong...
391
00:32:20,911 --> 00:32:24,859
...and he got a grin that'll
break your heart.
392
00:32:26,415 --> 00:32:30,957
You'd like him, Daddy,
I know you would.
393
00:32:32,422 --> 00:32:36,549
I told him how you were looking
for a log to make a drum...
394
00:32:36,758 --> 00:32:39,960
...when the slave catchers took you.
395
00:32:40,846 --> 00:32:45,554
And about your real name
being Kunta Kinte.
396
00:32:45,768 --> 00:32:49,978
And Kamby Bolongo mean river,
and ko, a fiddle.
397
00:32:51,982 --> 00:32:55,065
Sometime he seems to forget.
398
00:32:55,277 --> 00:32:57,564
But he's a good boy, Daddy.
399
00:32:58,238 --> 00:33:01,653
He's just young, that's all.
400
00:33:05,036 --> 00:33:08,534
Soon, I'm gonna get married...
401
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,993
...and I'm gonna have more children.
402
00:33:13,252 --> 00:33:18,411
And I'm gonna teach
them about freedom...
403
00:33:18,632 --> 00:33:21,881
...so they can teach their children.
404
00:33:23,679 --> 00:33:28,755
I promise you, Daddy,
your dream will not die.
405
00:33:29,518 --> 00:33:30,892
Someday...
406
00:33:31,561 --> 00:33:33,718
...we gonna be free.
407
00:33:41,279 --> 00:33:45,026
I don't mean to trouble
your mourning but...
408
00:33:45,241 --> 00:33:47,316
...we better be getting back.
409
00:34:25,447 --> 00:34:27,272
Get up, there.
410
00:34:29,575 --> 00:34:33,274
You won't work in
them fields no more, neither.
411
00:34:33,913 --> 00:34:37,744
You gonna be in the big house
with the missus.
412
00:34:38,626 --> 00:34:41,294
Oh, and one other thing.
413
00:34:42,045 --> 00:34:45,329
I knows you a proud and sassy woman...
414
00:34:45,591 --> 00:34:49,504
Lord knows I loves you for it.
But massa...
415
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:53,052
...massa can't abide a nigger
gets above herself.
416
00:34:53,307 --> 00:34:58,300
You gonna have to walk softer
when you're up there in the big house.
417
00:35:01,648 --> 00:35:05,894
That sun getting low.
We gonna be in a world of trouble.
418
00:35:07,945 --> 00:35:09,901
Step lively, lazy beasts!
419
00:35:12,909 --> 00:35:16,905
Come on. Get up there!
420
00:35:29,717 --> 00:35:34,010
You abused my good nature.
I said be home before dark.
421
00:35:34,221 --> 00:35:37,885
- I'm sorry...
- I'll put you back in the fields.
422
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:40,471
- No, massa.
- Give you real work.
423
00:35:41,061 --> 00:35:45,805
- Maybe you'd appreciate the good life!
- I'm sorry, massa.
424
00:35:47,442 --> 00:35:51,273
- I might not buy her!
- No, massa, please don't.
425
00:35:51,529 --> 00:35:54,564
Bed down the horses.
They're lathered up!
426
00:35:54,783 --> 00:35:59,574
Yes, sir, massa. I'm sorry,
massa, powerful sorry, massa.
427
00:35:59,787 --> 00:36:03,036
- I'll deal with you tomorrow.
- Bless you.
428
00:36:04,166 --> 00:36:05,873
Bless you.
429
00:36:17,804 --> 00:36:21,752
Oh, he powerful mad...
430
00:36:21,974 --> 00:36:25,721
...but he'll be all right.
He gonna be all right.
431
00:36:31,568 --> 00:36:33,606
I don't ever, ever...
432
00:36:35,196 --> 00:36:38,231
...wanna come that close
to trouble again.
433
00:36:42,787 --> 00:36:45,241
I'll take care of the horses...
434
00:36:45,456 --> 00:36:49,867
...and come back and help you
get your things together.
435
00:37:04,265 --> 00:37:07,597
- Is you all packed, darling?
- No.
436
00:37:11,773 --> 00:37:15,816
What you mean, no?
We's leaving here early.
437
00:37:16,068 --> 00:37:18,439
No, Sam, I ain't going with you.
438
00:37:26,829 --> 00:37:31,786
- I thought you loved me.
- I do love you, Sam.
439
00:37:32,001 --> 00:37:35,119
You is a good and loving man.
440
00:37:37,256 --> 00:37:41,039
You've made me happier this week
than I've ever been.
441
00:37:41,468 --> 00:37:44,633
I won't forget you,
but I can't marry you.
442
00:37:48,850 --> 00:37:52,300
Sure, you just got
the last-minute wobbles.
443
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,468
No, Sam, I can't marry you
and no two ways about it.
444
00:37:59,569 --> 00:38:04,360
Oh, now, Kizzy.
Tell me what I done wrong, huh?
445
00:38:04,573 --> 00:38:06,280
I'll make it up to you.
446
00:38:06,492 --> 00:38:11,402
It ain't your fault.
There ain't no making up to do.
447
00:38:11,872 --> 00:38:15,915
It's just that we're
too different, that's all.
448
00:38:16,126 --> 00:38:18,995
I forgot who I was for a while.
449
00:38:20,255 --> 00:38:23,836
I'm sorry. Forgive me.
450
00:38:47,406 --> 00:38:50,987
- You think you better than I is.
- I didn't say that.
451
00:38:51,202 --> 00:38:54,404
No, but I hear it just the same.
452
00:38:54,621 --> 00:38:58,914
Funny part is, you do the massa's
business same as me.
453
00:38:59,126 --> 00:39:02,244
Think I don't know
Massa Moore was here?
454
00:39:03,047 --> 00:39:06,249
- You knew?
- I seen him come from the house.
455
00:39:06,466 --> 00:39:09,916
Why didn't you say anything
about it today?
456
00:39:10,136 --> 00:39:13,420
Kizzy, now,
what you expect me to say, huh?
457
00:39:14,349 --> 00:39:16,424
What you expect me to say?
458
00:39:17,394 --> 00:39:22,849
That's the way it is.
Weren't nothing I could say about it.
459
00:39:23,065 --> 00:39:27,642
Yes, there was! You could have cared.
You could have cared!
460
00:39:29,655 --> 00:39:34,197
The massa can take my body,
but he can't touch my spirit.
461
00:39:34,409 --> 00:39:37,777
He can't touch my dream
of being a free woman.
462
00:39:39,665 --> 00:39:44,242
When they bought you,
you gave them your soul for free.
463
00:39:45,003 --> 00:39:48,086
- Kizzy...
- Oh, goodbye, Sam.
464
00:40:14,073 --> 00:40:17,986
Kizzy, don't say I ain't got
no dreams, 'cause I has.
465
00:40:20,454 --> 00:40:22,860
It just ain't big as yours.
466
00:40:24,791 --> 00:40:28,206
Well, I hope it come
true for you, Sam.
467
00:40:43,393 --> 00:40:47,852
Now that Bennett's birds are packed,
we better crate these.
468
00:40:48,063 --> 00:40:52,225
We got us some dates
to fill around this county.
469
00:40:52,443 --> 00:40:55,811
These birds is raring to go,
and so is I.
470
00:40:56,030 --> 00:40:59,729
Them birds is going, Mingo,
but you're staying here.
471
00:41:00,116 --> 00:41:03,780
You ain't looking too good lately.
You need rest.
472
00:41:03,996 --> 00:41:09,748
- I all right, massa.
- Anyway, you too old for this travel.
473
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,624
George here can handle things
on his own now.
474
00:41:14,881 --> 00:41:18,046
But, massa, cockfighting is
all my life.
475
00:41:18,259 --> 00:41:23,596
I ain't taking away the chickens,
you can still tend and train them.
476
00:41:24,516 --> 00:41:29,342
Massa, Mingo, he fine, just fine.
477
00:41:29,562 --> 00:41:32,052
Sure, he been feeling a bit poorly...
478
00:41:32,273 --> 00:41:37,230
...but he's one of the finest
cockfighters alive. You know that.
479
00:41:39,196 --> 00:41:41,318
I made up my mind, boy.
480
00:41:41,532 --> 00:41:45,363
Mr. Bennett admired you too much
for me to overlook it.
481
00:41:45,577 --> 00:41:49,360
You is my main trainer now.
482
00:41:49,665 --> 00:41:51,703
We'll make a pile of money.
483
00:41:51,916 --> 00:41:54,869
Gonna be two names
gamecockers talk about:
484
00:41:55,086 --> 00:41:58,584
Tom Moore and his boy, George.
485
00:41:58,798 --> 00:42:00,836
- One more thing.
- Yes, sir.
486
00:42:01,051 --> 00:42:02,959
Find a wife quick, you hear?
487
00:42:03,177 --> 00:42:07,636
I don't want you catting around,
spending up your gumption.
488
00:42:07,849 --> 00:42:09,390
Yes, Massa Moore.
489
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,348
Mingo, look, l...
490
00:42:18,567 --> 00:42:22,978
Don't fret, boy.
It been coming a long time.
491
00:42:23,197 --> 00:42:25,865
And he right. You is ready.
492
00:42:26,075 --> 00:42:28,909
I teached you everything
about chickens.
493
00:42:29,119 --> 00:42:33,578
There's things you know
nobody can teach nobody.
494
00:42:34,499 --> 00:42:35,956
Old man, I...
495
00:42:38,587 --> 00:42:43,544
- Thanks for what you give me.
- You the only one to give it to.
496
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,005
And I wanna thank you.
497
00:42:53,393 --> 00:42:54,969
Georgie.
498
00:42:57,438 --> 00:42:58,812
Yes, sir.
499
00:43:04,445 --> 00:43:08,228
- Take it, boy.
- No, no, I can't.
500
00:43:08,448 --> 00:43:12,029
Take it, boy.
You the cock of the walk now.
501
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,661
Take it!
502
00:44:13,511 --> 00:44:17,673
- Thank you, ma'am. Much obliged.
- Thank you, sir.
503
00:44:28,776 --> 00:44:31,100
Okay, giddap there!
504
00:44:31,612 --> 00:44:34,695
Mama! Wait till you hear the news!
505
00:44:36,032 --> 00:44:37,774
Mama...
506
00:44:50,755 --> 00:44:53,458
Why didn't you marry him?
507
00:44:54,258 --> 00:44:56,249
Sam wasn't like us.
508
00:44:56,928 --> 00:44:59,548
Nobody told him where he come from.
509
00:44:59,763 --> 00:45:02,965
He didn't have a dream
of where he's going.
510
00:45:04,101 --> 00:45:05,510
I's sorry.
511
00:45:08,606 --> 00:45:10,930
Hey, look here.
512
00:45:11,567 --> 00:45:14,104
Master made me head trainer today.
513
00:45:14,319 --> 00:45:15,895
That nice.
514
00:45:20,617 --> 00:45:25,112
Mama, I know how you feel
about cockfighting and all.
515
00:45:25,329 --> 00:45:27,451
But listen to me one time.
516
00:45:29,375 --> 00:45:31,865
I'm gonna tell you something.
517
00:45:32,712 --> 00:45:35,083
I loves being a cockfighter.
518
00:45:35,507 --> 00:45:37,083
I's proud.
519
00:45:37,592 --> 00:45:41,256
Ain't nobody know them
birds better than I do.
520
00:45:42,054 --> 00:45:44,544
I'm gonna make a name for myself.
521
00:45:44,765 --> 00:45:46,803
And get me some respect.
522
00:45:47,977 --> 00:45:51,558
But not by running
like your daddy. No.
523
00:45:51,772 --> 00:45:55,436
I'll pit them birds until
I can buy myself free.
524
00:45:56,068 --> 00:46:01,061
I'll look straight ahead the rest
of my life, not over my shoulder.
525
00:46:02,574 --> 00:46:04,530
Another thing...
526
00:46:04,993 --> 00:46:07,031
...I'm marrying Matilda.
527
00:46:08,037 --> 00:46:10,574
She don't know yet.
528
00:46:10,790 --> 00:46:13,540
I don't think she'll put up a fuss.
529
00:46:13,793 --> 00:46:16,199
There's hope for you yet.
530
00:46:16,462 --> 00:46:20,161
Hope for us, Mama.
Hope for both of us.
531
00:46:20,633 --> 00:46:22,292
A little for me.
532
00:46:22,969 --> 00:46:26,134
But a whole lifetime
of hope for you yet.
533
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,260
- One thing, Georgie.
- What's that?
534
00:46:30,475 --> 00:46:33,095
Don't believe everything massa says.
535
00:46:33,312 --> 00:46:35,517
Don't you trust that man.
536
00:46:38,776 --> 00:46:40,566
What you talking, Mama?
537
00:46:40,778 --> 00:46:43,936
Why, massa, he treat me fine.
538
00:46:44,148 --> 00:46:46,845
Why, he more like a daddy to me!
539
00:47:49,519 --> 00:47:50,547
