1
00:00:37,372 --> 00:00:38,516
Okay let's slow it down,
2
00:00:38,540 --> 00:00:39,707
we're still in the game.
3
00:00:39,916 --> 00:00:41,209
Slow the tempo down.
4
00:00:41,417 --> 00:00:43,920
Nothing but good shots, let's go!
5
00:00:44,128 --> 00:00:46,881
Fake right, left, jump,
yeah, cut man, cut!
6
00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:48,299
Layup, good!
7
00:00:48,508 --> 00:00:50,426
How about them eggs, Leona?
8
00:00:50,635 --> 00:00:51,844
In a minute!
9
00:00:52,053 --> 00:00:54,556
You're the one who likes them well done.
10
00:00:55,306 --> 00:00:56,975
Any more coffee?
11
00:00:57,183 --> 00:01:00,019
I just filled your cup, Sam.
12
00:01:01,187 --> 00:01:02,480
Didn't even notice.
13
00:01:02,689 --> 00:01:04,107
Been reading the paper.
14
00:01:05,775 --> 00:01:07,415
All right, another one, go!
15
00:01:07,569 --> 00:01:08,837
Something about Nathaniel?
16
00:01:08,861 --> 00:01:09,404
No, honey.
17
00:01:09,612 --> 00:01:10,612
Not today.
18
00:01:10,738 --> 00:01:12,949
Anyways, sports page
ain't even on my mind.
19
00:01:13,157 --> 00:01:14,200
Why, Sam!
20
00:01:14,409 --> 00:01:17,787
I didn't even know you read
anything but the sports page.
21
00:01:18,913 --> 00:01:20,473
Pass it off, pass it off!
22
00:01:20,623 --> 00:01:22,208
Hustle, pass it back, look!
23
00:01:22,417 --> 00:01:23,897
Put down the bad news, Sam.
24
00:01:24,085 --> 00:01:25,712
Here come the eggs.
25
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:26,546
Yeah, drop 'em right here
26
00:01:26,754 --> 00:01:29,215
on the front page, Leona,
'cause it's scrambled too.
27
00:01:32,176 --> 00:01:33,856
Have a seat and drink some coffee with me.
28
00:01:34,053 --> 00:01:35,263
Yeah.
29
00:01:35,471 --> 00:01:38,391
Pass,
pass, defense, defense!
30
00:01:46,941 --> 00:01:49,569
Pass, pass it back, layup!
31
00:01:50,903 --> 00:01:51,988
Let it go man.
32
00:01:52,196 --> 00:01:54,032
I'm gonna miss that boy.
33
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,759
I'll tell you one thing, it's gonna be
34
00:01:55,783 --> 00:01:58,453
a lot of late sleeping downstairs
35
00:01:58,661 --> 00:02:00,288
without that ball bumping on the floor.
36
00:02:01,664 --> 00:02:03,392
Yeah I bet you
could hear Sarah snoring.
37
00:02:05,918 --> 00:02:06,711
Can't let him get the ball.
38
00:02:06,919 --> 00:02:07,919
Go behind my back.
39
00:02:08,046 --> 00:02:09,297
You not gettin' this ball, man.
40
00:02:14,510 --> 00:02:16,137
Pass it off, pass it off!
41
00:02:16,346 --> 00:02:16,971
Sometimes I worry
42
00:02:17,180 --> 00:02:20,016
about you, Sam, on those high buildings.
43
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:23,728
Ain't nothing gonna happen to me.
44
00:02:23,936 --> 00:02:25,772
I gotta watch my man, Cornbread.
45
00:02:25,980 --> 00:02:28,107
Mm, mm, mm.
46
00:02:29,609 --> 00:02:32,028
Come on man, bring home some cuts, cuts!
47
00:02:35,490 --> 00:02:36,532
Beautiful, man.
48
00:02:36,741 --> 00:02:38,534
You are beautiful.
49
00:03:13,236 --> 00:03:16,072
Are you dressed yet, Nathaniel Hamilton?
50
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,283
In a second, mama, layup!
51
00:03:19,492 --> 00:03:21,411
Well I tell you, that boy sometimes.
52
00:03:21,619 --> 00:03:23,059
As fast as he is on the court, you'd
53
00:03:23,246 --> 00:03:25,748
think he'd be faster out of the house.
54
00:03:27,667 --> 00:03:30,586
We'll get 'em, we'll
get 'em, we'll get 'em.
55
00:03:30,795 --> 00:03:32,255
That's bread under the ball.
56
00:03:32,463 --> 00:03:34,465
I'm coming down on him, one on one.
57
00:03:37,301 --> 00:03:39,053
Five seconds left in the game.
58
00:03:39,262 --> 00:03:42,640
He can't guard me, fake left, right, step.
59
00:03:44,434 --> 00:03:47,520
Hey, wow, what a shot, two for bread!
60
00:03:51,482 --> 00:03:53,901
That Cornbread's gonna drive me crazy.
61
00:03:56,154 --> 00:03:58,114
Come on Charlie, it's time to get up.
62
00:04:00,825 --> 00:04:02,368
What time is it?
63
00:04:02,577 --> 00:04:03,286
It's early.
64
00:04:03,494 --> 00:04:06,038
It's real early.
65
00:04:10,501 --> 00:04:12,295
Hey, the time is right, mama.
66
00:04:12,503 --> 00:04:16,007
Mm-mm, not with Cornbread
pounding away up there.
67
00:04:17,842 --> 00:04:19,010
Mm.
68
00:04:19,218 --> 00:04:21,637
I want to do some pounding myself.
69
00:04:21,846 --> 00:04:23,765
Charlie, come on.
70
00:04:24,932 --> 00:04:26,559
What's the matter?
71
00:04:27,643 --> 00:04:30,438
Come on, man, get your
butt up and get upstairs.
72
00:04:30,646 --> 00:04:32,482
Why, because of Cornbread?
73
00:04:32,690 --> 00:04:34,609
No, because of Wilford.
74
00:04:34,817 --> 00:04:36,257
That noise is gonna wake him up too.
75
00:04:36,444 --> 00:04:37,987
So what?
76
00:04:40,573 --> 00:04:42,133
Look, I don't want him coming in here
77
00:04:42,283 --> 00:04:43,868
and finding us like this.
78
00:04:45,244 --> 00:04:46,412
You think he don't know?
79
00:04:46,621 --> 00:04:47,621
He don't know for sure.
80
00:04:47,789 --> 00:04:49,081
12 years old, huh?
81
00:04:49,290 --> 00:04:52,293
12 years old living in this
place, he don't understand?
82
00:04:54,962 --> 00:04:56,923
Are you gonna come to
the meeting tonight, Sam?
83
00:04:57,131 --> 00:04:58,609
You know I don't go
to that stuff, honey.
84
00:04:58,633 --> 00:05:01,594
Oh Sam, it's our neighborhood.
85
00:05:01,803 --> 00:05:04,555
You take care of the
Urban League, the NAACP,
86
00:05:04,764 --> 00:05:07,725
and the Baptist Ladies Garden Club.
87
00:05:07,934 --> 00:05:10,686
And I'll take care of the
tester, my wirecutters,
88
00:05:10,895 --> 00:05:12,396
and my weekly paycheck.
89
00:05:16,692 --> 00:05:18,861
Hey, I work too, you know.
90
00:05:20,321 --> 00:05:24,659
And I wouldn't have your
job for nothing in the world.
91
00:05:25,785 --> 00:05:27,620
But I thank you for it.
92
00:05:27,829 --> 00:05:30,665
Mm, but leave me out of that other stuff.
93
00:05:30,873 --> 00:05:32,458
I ain't no joiner.
94
00:05:32,667 --> 00:05:34,001
Get out of here.
95
00:05:34,210 --> 00:05:35,503
Right man, right!
96
00:05:36,420 --> 00:05:37,420
Wait a minute, now!
97
00:05:37,547 --> 00:05:38,214
Work out, pop, work out pop!
98
00:05:38,422 --> 00:05:39,131
Now hold on!
99
00:05:40,508 --> 00:05:41,860
Right on, pop, you're
in pretty good shape.
100
00:05:44,971 --> 00:05:46,514
Sam Hamilton, a grown man like you
101
00:05:46,722 --> 00:05:48,266
playing the same game every morning.
102
00:05:48,474 --> 00:05:49,834
You should be ashamed of yourself!
103
00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:51,143
You're pretty good, pop!
104
00:05:51,352 --> 00:05:52,019
Stop!
105
00:05:52,228 --> 00:05:52,937
Now give me that, give me that.
106
00:05:53,145 --> 00:05:54,856
Fingers, fingers.
107
00:05:55,064 --> 00:05:55,565
Give me that ball.
108
00:05:58,109 --> 00:05:59,652
Good move, pop, good move, pop!
109
00:05:59,861 --> 00:06:01,571
Good move pop, you sure set a good pin.
110
00:06:01,779 --> 00:06:03,924
Yeah, and Leona, we're gonna
get you a scholarship too.
111
00:06:03,948 --> 00:06:05,548
He fouled me, did you see him foul me?
112
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:08,619
Now wait a minute, this is
a dining room, not a gym,
113
00:06:08,828 --> 00:06:10,121
so you take that outside!
114
00:06:10,329 --> 00:06:11,329
Oh, mama!
115
00:06:11,455 --> 00:06:12,748
Don't you oh mama, me.
116
00:06:12,957 --> 00:06:15,960
That's not food, it's too tough
to eat so it stays outside!
117
00:06:16,168 --> 00:06:17,336
What?
118
00:06:17,545 --> 00:06:20,882
Mama, I love you, but you're wrong.
119
00:06:21,090 --> 00:06:23,217
This is food, and more.
120
00:06:23,426 --> 00:06:25,928
It's food and clothes for you and pop
121
00:06:26,137 --> 00:06:28,014
and a house as big as a barn.
122
00:06:28,222 --> 00:06:29,222
Hey pop.
123
00:06:29,390 --> 00:06:30,766
Come on, mama.
124
00:06:30,975 --> 00:06:33,102
Oh boy, son.
125
00:06:33,311 --> 00:06:34,854
See this thing, mama?
126
00:06:35,062 --> 00:06:36,814
Come on mama, look at it.
127
00:06:37,023 --> 00:06:38,703
'Cause it's gonna take us off this street.
128
00:06:38,774 --> 00:06:39,859
Ain't that right, pop?
129
00:06:40,067 --> 00:06:41,067
Right.
130
00:06:41,152 --> 00:06:42,653
It's gonna buy us a house
131
00:06:42,862 --> 00:06:44,906
with a kitchen that's as
big as this whole building
132
00:06:45,114 --> 00:06:47,199
on a street with trees and grass.
133
00:06:47,408 --> 00:06:48,910
And it's gonna buy a freezer, mama,
134
00:06:49,118 --> 00:06:51,579
bigger than me, filled
with all kinds of food.
135
00:06:51,787 --> 00:06:54,165
Right, and you are gonna keep that ball
136
00:06:54,373 --> 00:06:56,208
right in the bottom of the freezer.
137
00:06:56,417 --> 00:06:57,209
All right.
138
00:06:57,418 --> 00:06:58,169
Stay out of trouble.
139
00:06:58,377 --> 00:06:58,836
Hey wait up, pop!
140
00:06:59,045 --> 00:07:00,129
I'll come with you.
141
00:07:00,338 --> 00:07:01,464
Hey wait a minute, now.
142
00:07:01,672 --> 00:07:03,066
You're not gonna have any breakfast?
143
00:07:03,090 --> 00:07:05,301
No, I'm not hungry.
144
00:07:05,509 --> 00:07:07,762
Well you can't live on orange soda.
145
00:07:09,972 --> 00:07:12,266
Go man, go!
146
00:07:12,475 --> 00:07:14,602
Two weeks, huh?
147
00:07:19,523 --> 00:07:21,609
Yeah.
148
00:07:21,817 --> 00:07:23,778
School's a long way from here.
149
00:07:26,238 --> 00:07:28,449
College, you want me to be in college.
150
00:07:28,658 --> 00:07:29,909
Yeah.
151
00:07:30,117 --> 00:07:31,994
Just gonna miss you.
152
00:07:35,039 --> 00:07:36,165
You ain't kidding me, pop.
153
00:07:36,374 --> 00:07:36,958
You gonna be able to sleep
154
00:07:37,166 --> 00:07:38,459
if I ain't bounding the ball.
155
00:07:43,005 --> 00:07:45,341
You and mama come to the school
sometimes to watch me play?
156
00:07:45,549 --> 00:07:47,718
Better know it, wouldn't
miss it for anything.
157
00:07:48,719 --> 00:07:50,721
Go man, go!
158
00:07:50,930 --> 00:07:52,682
Morning neighbor.
159
00:07:52,890 --> 00:07:55,226
As long as you got
one hand on that ball,
160
00:07:55,434 --> 00:07:56,686
I guess you're safe.
161
00:08:13,327 --> 00:08:15,246
Hey, superstar!
162
00:08:16,664 --> 00:08:18,165
What's happening, One-Eye?
163
00:08:18,374 --> 00:08:20,626
Woo, when you gonna start
running numbers for me?
164
00:08:20,835 --> 00:08:22,545
What are you up to?
165
00:08:22,753 --> 00:08:25,715
Hey, I'm selling dreams, Sam.
166
00:08:25,923 --> 00:08:29,218
There'll be pie in the sky
when you buy from One-Eye.
167
00:08:29,427 --> 00:08:31,887
Yeah, just lay off my son.
168
00:08:32,096 --> 00:08:33,416
Hey, he can make a ton of money
169
00:08:33,514 --> 00:08:35,558
running numbers for me, Sam.
170
00:08:35,766 --> 00:08:36,851
I'll tell you what, pop.
171
00:08:37,059 --> 00:08:38,299
As soon as I get out of college
172
00:08:38,477 --> 00:08:40,563
we'll have 'em put it in my pro contract.
173
00:08:40,771 --> 00:08:43,774
Cornbread runs for
One-Eye in the off season.
174
00:08:49,530 --> 00:08:51,615
John, you look like you got a hangover.
175
00:08:51,824 --> 00:08:53,909
A hangover?
176
00:08:54,118 --> 00:08:56,203
I got three kids sick.
177
00:08:56,412 --> 00:08:57,913
I'm up all night flushing the toilet
178
00:08:58,122 --> 00:09:01,208
and you tell me about having a hangover.
179
00:09:01,417 --> 00:09:02,602
What do you got, stomach flu?
180
00:09:02,626 --> 00:09:04,545
I don't know, maybe.
181
00:09:04,754 --> 00:09:06,189
Maybe it was that recipe that your wife
182
00:09:06,213 --> 00:09:08,549
gave to my Mary Tuesday night.
183
00:09:10,009 --> 00:09:13,179
I will admit John, that
barbecue sauce is pretty hot.
184
00:09:13,387 --> 00:09:14,847
Hot?
185
00:09:15,056 --> 00:09:17,224
Hey, we put some in the freezer, you know?
186
00:09:17,433 --> 00:09:18,184
Yeah?
187
00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:19,393
Freezer defrosted it.
188
00:09:23,189 --> 00:09:26,859
Hey, isn't that our little
pal Shifty over there?
189
00:09:27,068 --> 00:09:27,818
Yeah.
190
00:09:28,027 --> 00:09:31,489
And last time we saw pushing
something it was heroin.
191
00:09:31,697 --> 00:09:34,366
Ten to one John, there's
no baby in that carriage.
192
00:09:37,244 --> 00:09:38,579
Hey!
193
00:09:40,247 --> 00:09:42,124
Nice seeing you again, Shifty.
194
00:09:42,333 --> 00:09:43,626
You can put your hands down now.
195
00:09:43,834 --> 00:09:45,669
No, I feel safer this way.
196
00:09:47,129 --> 00:09:48,449
You know somehow you just don't
197
00:09:48,506 --> 00:09:51,383
look natural unless your
hands are into something.
198
00:09:51,592 --> 00:09:53,594
Put 'em down, slow and easy!
199
00:09:53,803 --> 00:09:55,721
Why you dudes always hassling me?
200
00:09:55,930 --> 00:09:57,723
This is just a social call.
201
00:09:57,932 --> 00:09:59,475
We want to meet the family!
202
00:10:00,434 --> 00:10:01,602
Man, this is my sister's.
203
00:10:01,811 --> 00:10:02,478
I lost him, John.
204
00:10:02,686 --> 00:10:04,105
That's all right.
205
00:10:04,313 --> 00:10:05,665
Shifty wants us to meet his family.
206
00:10:05,689 --> 00:10:08,234
Can we take a peek at
the little darling, huh?
207
00:10:10,319 --> 00:10:12,655
Oh that's a cute kid, Shifty.
208
00:10:12,863 --> 00:10:14,132
Where'd you get the typewriter?
209
00:10:14,156 --> 00:10:15,596
Man I told you it was my sister's!
210
00:10:15,783 --> 00:10:17,284
I'm just bringing it to be fixed.
211
00:10:17,493 --> 00:10:20,663
Hands on the car, spread
your legs, thatta boy.
212
00:10:24,708 --> 00:10:26,669
Hey Nathaniel.
213
00:10:26,877 --> 00:10:28,420
Here Nathaniel, pick a card, come on.
214
00:10:28,629 --> 00:10:30,005
Oh Mr. J I gotta go play ball!
215
00:10:30,214 --> 00:10:31,358
Oh come on it'll just take a minute.
216
00:10:31,382 --> 00:10:32,049
Just take a minute.
217
00:10:32,258 --> 00:10:33,592
Okay, okay.
218
00:10:33,801 --> 00:10:35,719
Ha, take a look at it.
219
00:10:35,928 --> 00:10:36,512
Remember it?
220
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,221
Got it.
221
00:10:37,429 --> 00:10:39,390
Put it back.
222
00:10:39,598 --> 00:10:41,076
Hurry now Mr. J, they're waiting on me.
223
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:42,994
All right, I'm hurrying,
I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying.
224
00:10:43,018 --> 00:10:44,018
How's your mom and dad?
225
00:10:44,061 --> 00:10:45,354
Oh they're just fine.
226
00:10:45,563 --> 00:10:46,563
All right, now--
227
00:10:46,730 --> 00:10:48,774
It's that one, six of diamonds.
228
00:10:52,736 --> 00:10:53,821
Right.
229
00:10:54,029 --> 00:10:55,156
Hey how'd you know that?
230
00:10:55,364 --> 00:10:57,533
I guess that wins me another orange.
231
00:10:58,951 --> 00:11:00,452
Keep the change, Mr. J!
232
00:11:00,661 --> 00:11:02,663
Hey, you owe me!
233
00:11:09,837 --> 00:11:11,589
All right, yay!
234
00:11:11,797 --> 00:11:13,424
That's my cousin.
235
00:11:13,632 --> 00:11:14,717
Who?
236
00:11:14,925 --> 00:11:16,177
What do you mean, who?
237
00:11:16,385 --> 00:11:17,094
Can't you see?
238
00:11:17,303 --> 00:11:19,013
Cornbread, that's who.
239
00:11:19,221 --> 00:11:20,222
He is not!
240
00:11:20,431 --> 00:11:21,473
Is so!
241
00:11:21,682 --> 00:11:24,268
Yeah, just like Charlie's your uncle.
242
00:11:39,325 --> 00:11:41,493
You're just jealous
about Cornbread and me.
243
00:11:41,702 --> 00:11:44,121
What's so great about Cornbread?
244
00:11:44,330 --> 00:11:45,581
You kidding me, man?
245
00:11:45,789 --> 00:11:49,043
Cornbread is the greatest
player in the city,
246
00:11:49,251 --> 00:11:50,544
the state,
247
00:11:50,753 --> 00:11:52,755
probably the whole country!
248
00:12:05,809 --> 00:12:08,103
I've seen better
players down south.
249
00:12:08,312 --> 00:12:08,979
In Mississippi?
250
00:12:09,188 --> 00:12:10,188
Sure!
251
00:12:10,231 --> 00:12:11,911
They got
nothing in Mississippi
252
00:12:11,982 --> 00:12:13,622
otherwise you wouldn't have come up here.
253
00:12:30,584 --> 00:12:34,922
Charlie told me that
Mississippi's a lynching state.
254
00:12:36,006 --> 00:12:40,177
He says that down there a
nigga ain't worth nothing.
255
00:12:40,386 --> 00:12:42,805
Them people down there soon
kill ya as look at you.
256
00:12:43,013 --> 00:12:45,057
Now what you gotta say about that?
257
00:12:50,604 --> 00:12:55,317
My daddy says this place ain't
no better than Mississippi!
258
00:12:56,527 --> 00:12:58,404
Here they don't string you up,
259
00:12:58,612 --> 00:13:01,448
but they don't let you
sit near 'em either.
260
00:13:01,657 --> 00:13:04,785
Now what you got to say to that?
261
00:13:04,994 --> 00:13:06,120
Watch Fred.
262
00:13:06,328 --> 00:13:07,871

Fred, Mr. Fred, Mr. Fred, oh Mr. Fred.
280
00:14:01,967 --> 00:14:05,095
Cornbread wants a root beer
and he bought one for us too.
281
00:14:05,304 --> 00:14:06,388
He don't drink root beer!
282
00:14:06,597 --> 00:14:07,597
What?
283
00:14:07,765 --> 00:14:09,725
I've been watching him, man.
284
00:14:09,933 --> 00:14:12,394
He drinks orange, and grape,
285
00:14:12,603 --> 00:14:15,606
and once in a while Coke,
but never no root beer.
286
00:14:15,814 --> 00:14:17,733
You don't know what
you're talking about.
287
00:14:17,941 --> 00:14:19,419
I know lots of things
you don't know, man.
288
00:14:19,443 --> 00:14:20,152
You don't know nothing!
289
00:14:20,361 --> 00:14:22,380
All right, all right, don't
blow your little stacks.
290
00:14:22,404 --> 00:14:23,590
Look here now, let me show you something.
291
00:14:23,614 --> 00:14:24,615
Mr. Fred, don't start.
292
00:14:24,823 --> 00:14:25,532
Come on, pick a card.
293
00:14:25,741 --> 00:14:27,141
We gotta get Cornbread his drink!
294
00:14:27,326 --> 00:14:27,743
Yeah.
295
00:14:27,951 --> 00:14:30,204
Pick a card, pick a card.
296
00:14:30,412 --> 00:14:32,539
Pick a card, come on.
297
00:14:32,748 --> 00:14:34,583
Now take a look at it.
298
00:14:34,792 --> 00:14:35,792
Remember it?
299
00:14:35,834 --> 00:14:37,252
Sure, the two of spades.
300
00:14:37,461 --> 00:14:39,296
You ain't supposed to tell me.
301
00:14:39,505 --> 00:14:40,756
Well you askin'!
302
00:14:40,964 --> 00:14:42,424
Ah, never mind, give me the money.
303
00:14:42,633 --> 00:14:43,675
Orange.
304
00:14:43,884 --> 00:14:44,343
Root beer!
305
00:14:44,551 --> 00:14:44,927
Orange!
306
00:14:45,135 --> 00:14:45,511
Root beer!
307
00:14:46,136 --> 00:14:46,845
Root beer!
308
00:14:47,054 --> 00:14:48,389
Fine, now shut up.
309
00:14:48,597 --> 00:14:49,306
Where would you be if I wasn't
310
00:14:49,515 --> 00:14:51,392
here to settle your argument?
311
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,143
Wait right there.
312
00:14:54,353 --> 00:14:56,814
Okay Earl, you pick a card.
313
00:14:59,024 --> 00:15:00,234
Five of diamond.
314
00:15:00,442 --> 00:15:02,611
You're not supposed to tell me!
315
00:15:02,820 --> 00:15:04,571
All right, wise guys, all right.
316
00:15:04,780 --> 00:15:08,200
Now you like orange, and you
both like root beer, right?
317
00:15:08,409 --> 00:15:10,160
You bring these to Cornbread.
318
00:15:10,369 --> 00:15:12,496
Whichever he chooses, you split the other.
319
00:15:12,704 --> 00:15:13,704
Okay, bye Mr. Fred!
320
00:15:13,747 --> 00:15:15,332
Bye Mr. Fred!
321
00:15:15,541 --> 00:15:16,834
Bye boys.
322
00:15:19,086 --> 00:15:20,897
Off to college
in two weeks, huh Leona?
323
00:15:20,921 --> 00:15:22,232
Honey I'm
going to miss that boy.
324
00:15:22,256 --> 00:15:24,675
It's going to be so lonely without him.
325
00:15:26,301 --> 00:15:27,741
Yeah, even the bouncing basketball
326
00:15:27,803 --> 00:15:29,221
at five am in the morning?
327
00:15:29,430 --> 00:15:31,030
Yeah, I know what you're saying Sarah.
328
00:15:31,181 --> 00:15:32,700
It won't be long though
before it will be Wilford.
329
00:15:32,724 --> 00:15:35,561
That child is certainly
growing up, isn't he?
330
00:15:35,769 --> 00:15:37,688
You know he really
admires your Nathaniel.
331
00:15:38,439 --> 00:15:41,733
Anything your son tries, my
son is bound to copy, even--
332
00:15:41,942 --> 00:15:43,527
Is this your son?
333
00:15:44,611 --> 00:15:45,404
Yes.
334
00:15:45,612 --> 00:15:48,073
I'm Mel Patterson, the manager,
and I found him with this.
335
00:15:48,282 --> 00:15:50,909
Mama, mama, you said I could
have it over there, remember?
336
00:15:51,118 --> 00:15:52,786
Some candy?
337
00:15:54,371 --> 00:15:55,371
I don't understand.
338
00:15:55,497 --> 00:15:57,291
Mr. Patterson, I was just ringing it up
339
00:15:57,499 --> 00:15:59,877
with the rest of Mrs. Robinson's stuff.
340
00:16:04,631 --> 00:16:06,258
Okay.
341
00:16:08,135 --> 00:16:11,263
Old 15 cent candy bar.
342
00:16:11,472 --> 00:16:12,949
Oh but it doesn't matter whether it's
343
00:16:12,973 --> 00:16:16,059
15 cents or a million
dollars, it's stealing!
344
00:16:19,021 --> 00:16:20,898
Don't cry, mama.
345
00:16:22,441 --> 00:16:24,318
I won't do it again.
346
00:16:25,861 --> 00:16:27,946
I promise I'll never do it again.
347
00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:34,119
It's okay, Wilford.
348
00:16:36,830 --> 00:16:38,624
You're a good boy.
349
00:16:38,832 --> 00:16:40,209
I know.
350
00:16:41,126 --> 00:16:43,003
You're a real good boy.
351
00:17:00,896 --> 00:17:02,481
It's the Welfare lady, mama.
352
00:17:02,689 --> 00:17:05,734
Oh lord, not at a time like this.
353
00:17:05,943 --> 00:17:08,570
Wilford, you go in and wash up.
354
00:17:17,746 --> 00:17:19,432
Well
Sarah, how have you been?
355
00:17:19,456 --> 00:17:22,084
Fine, Mrs. Parsons, I
didn't expect you here today.
356
00:17:22,292 --> 00:17:24,044
I would have tidied up a little bit.
357
00:17:24,253 --> 00:17:26,338
Well, don't worry about that.
358
00:17:26,547 --> 00:17:29,383
But there is a reason why I
made a special trip over here
359
00:17:29,591 --> 00:17:32,886
'cause there is something
I want to find out.
360
00:17:35,055 --> 00:17:38,016
Why haven't we had your
regular medical report?
361
00:17:40,435 --> 00:17:42,604
I'll tell you why, because
you didn't take the time
362
00:17:42,813 --> 00:17:43,998
to bother to go down to the clinic
363
00:17:44,022 --> 00:17:46,733
for your regular medical checkup.
364
00:17:46,942 --> 00:17:49,027
Look Sarah, you and I both know
365
00:17:49,236 --> 00:17:50,904
that the only reason the department
366
00:17:51,113 --> 00:17:53,282
sends you those checks
each and every month
367
00:17:53,490 --> 00:17:56,535
is because of your
supposed heart condition.
368
00:17:58,996 --> 00:18:00,998
Yes, I understand that.
369
00:18:01,206 --> 00:18:02,926
And if it wasn't for
that heart condition,
370
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,440
we wouldn't even consider paying the
371
00:18:04,543 --> 00:18:07,671
state's money to a healthy girl like you.
372
00:18:07,879 --> 00:18:09,423
You understand?
373
00:18:12,342 --> 00:18:14,928
You do understand?
374
00:18:15,137 --> 00:18:15,679
Yes I do.
375
00:18:15,887 --> 00:18:17,973
See, if I could hold a job I really would.
376
00:18:18,181 --> 00:18:20,517
The minute they find out
that there's any nonsense
377
00:18:20,726 --> 00:18:22,144
in your medical report you can be
378
00:18:22,352 --> 00:18:25,063
quite certain that your
checks are gonna stop.
379
00:18:28,317 --> 00:18:30,402
Well I'll go down to the clinic.
380
00:18:30,611 --> 00:18:33,822
Good, well that settles that.
381
00:18:34,031 --> 00:18:35,490
Everything else okay?
382
00:18:35,699 --> 00:18:37,409
Yeah.
383
00:18:39,036 --> 00:18:40,787
How is little Wilford?
384
00:18:40,996 --> 00:18:42,998
He's fine.
385
00:18:43,206 --> 00:18:45,417
He's not getting into
any trouble, is he?
386
00:18:45,626 --> 00:18:48,629
No, Wilford?
387
00:18:48,837 --> 00:18:50,213
Well, I know how difficult it is
388
00:18:50,422 --> 00:18:52,466
raising a child without a father.
389
00:18:52,674 --> 00:18:54,885
But, it's your duty to keep little
390
00:18:55,093 --> 00:18:57,596
Wilford from evil companions.
391
00:19:00,098 --> 00:19:02,100
Evil companions!
392
00:19:02,309 --> 00:19:04,353
I still can't believe she said that!
393
00:19:04,561 --> 00:19:05,771
But she did!
394
00:19:05,979 --> 00:19:07,814
Evil companions!
395
00:19:08,023 --> 00:19:10,525
Where did they find that Welfare lady?
396
00:19:10,734 --> 00:19:13,820
Down there with the evil companions!
397
00:19:19,409 --> 00:19:20,118
See you later.
398
00:19:20,327 --> 00:19:21,620
All right, peace.
399
00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:24,373
Goodnight now, goodnight.
400
00:19:24,581 --> 00:19:25,248
Night.
401
00:19:25,457 --> 00:19:26,792
Goodnight, Sarah!
402
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,460
Bye.
403
00:19:33,715 --> 00:19:34,966
That's enough.
404
00:19:35,175 --> 00:19:37,010
You sure you're feeling all right, huh?
405
00:19:37,219 --> 00:19:38,845
Yeah, I feel fine.
406
00:19:39,054 --> 00:19:41,306
My heart feels much better now.
407
00:19:45,268 --> 00:19:48,480
You didn't have none
of this dancing anyway.
408
00:19:48,689 --> 00:19:49,481
What do you expect me to do?
409
00:19:49,690 --> 00:19:51,084
Sit back there and twiddle my thumbs
410
00:19:51,108 --> 00:19:53,026
while you carry on with Edna?
411
00:19:53,235 --> 00:19:55,070
Ah, what was I supposed to do?
412
00:19:55,278 --> 00:19:58,156
She just dragged me on the floor.
413
00:19:58,365 --> 00:20:00,867
I didn't see you putting up any fight.
414
00:20:01,076 --> 00:20:02,536
Hey, hey.
415
00:20:02,744 --> 00:20:03,453
Hey hey.
416
00:20:03,662 --> 00:20:05,997
Oh ho.
417
00:20:06,206 --> 00:20:07,791
Wait a minute.
418
00:20:07,999 --> 00:20:10,335
Wait a minute, I was only jiving.
419
00:20:10,544 --> 00:20:12,295
You know me better than that!
420
00:20:12,504 --> 00:20:16,049
Maybe you were jiving, but
I ain't too sure about Edna.
421
00:20:19,386 --> 00:20:21,179
Are you jealous?
422
00:20:22,347 --> 00:20:23,807
Baby.
423
00:20:29,062 --> 00:20:33,900
Baby if we moved in together
424
00:20:34,109 --> 00:20:36,778
you could keep a closer eye on me.
425
00:20:39,614 --> 00:20:41,614
Charlie, you talking
about getting married again?
426
00:20:41,700 --> 00:20:42,700
Nope.
427
00:20:42,868 --> 00:20:44,494
Talking about moving in.
428
00:20:46,163 --> 00:20:48,248
Welfare would love that.
429
00:20:52,002 --> 00:20:54,296
All right, I'm talking
about getting married!
430
00:20:56,965 --> 00:20:59,134
Well then who's gonna pay the rent?
431
00:21:09,478 --> 00:21:10,020
Well who do you think?
432
00:21:10,228 --> 00:21:11,688
I will!
433
00:21:11,897 --> 00:21:14,733
I mean, I can find a better job.
434
00:21:14,941 --> 00:21:17,235
It's not like I ain't been trying.
435
00:21:17,444 --> 00:21:19,613
I know you been trying, Charlie.
436
00:21:19,821 --> 00:21:22,199
Yeah, but it ain't good enough for you.
437
00:21:22,407 --> 00:21:25,494
What you're saying is I ain't
good enough for you, right?
438
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,082
Come on now, Charlie.
439
00:21:31,291 --> 00:21:32,542
You're getting so heavy.
440
00:21:32,751 --> 00:21:33,751
Well sure.
441
00:21:33,877 --> 00:21:37,589
This, this is a heavy time.
442
00:21:46,598 --> 00:21:48,767
I feel it, sometimes.
443
00:21:48,975 --> 00:21:52,354
It's like the whole city is
just sitting on your shoulders.
444
00:21:57,526 --> 00:22:00,070
Hey, but you got the light touch.
445
00:22:19,130 --> 00:22:21,091
Man.
446
00:22:21,299 --> 00:22:24,219
If your toes could only
dance like your fingers.
447
00:22:32,519 --> 00:22:34,437
What they doing here?
448
00:22:34,646 --> 00:22:36,439
Watching TV.
449
00:22:37,858 --> 00:22:39,401
Hi boys.
450
00:22:39,609 --> 00:22:40,026
Hi mom.
451
00:22:40,235 --> 00:22:42,279
Hi Mrs. Robinson.
452
00:22:42,487 --> 00:22:43,613
What are they doing here?
453
00:22:43,822 --> 00:22:45,062
You know I don't like Wilford
454
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,950
here alone when I'm out late.
455
00:22:47,158 --> 00:22:49,744
So I asked Earl to spend
the night with him.
456
00:22:49,953 --> 00:22:52,038
Come on, now get 'em out of here.
457
00:22:52,247 --> 00:22:53,415
You must be joking.
458
00:22:53,623 --> 00:22:56,626
I ain't joking, this was
supposed to be our night!
459
00:22:56,835 --> 00:22:58,503
Now Charlie, cool it!
460
00:22:58,712 --> 00:23:00,463
Now don't spoil it, I had a fine evening.
461
00:23:00,672 --> 00:23:02,591
It's the best I've had in a long time.
462
00:23:02,799 --> 00:23:04,551
Come on, come on.
463
00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:05,427
Come on, Earl.
464
00:23:05,635 --> 00:23:06,386
Let's go get some cookies.
465
00:23:06,595 --> 00:23:07,762
Uh-uh, no, you stay there.
466
00:23:07,971 --> 00:23:08,971
I'll go get some--
467
00:23:09,014 --> 00:23:09,764
They don't stay there.
468
00:23:09,973 --> 00:23:12,142
We gonna use the bedroom anyway.
469
00:23:12,350 --> 00:23:13,350
No we ain't.
470
00:23:13,476 --> 00:23:15,156
Oh, well then let 'em go in the bedroom,
471
00:23:15,312 --> 00:23:17,063
we'll use the sofa, huh?
472
00:23:17,272 --> 00:23:19,566
Oh, come on Sarah, what is it?
473
00:23:21,568 --> 00:23:22,568
Not tonight, Charlie.
474
00:23:22,652 --> 00:23:24,529
I'm not in the mood for TV.
475
00:23:26,573 --> 00:23:27,574
Television?
476
00:23:27,782 --> 00:23:29,075
Ah, what is wrong with you?
477
00:23:29,284 --> 00:23:30,994
Are you sick?
478
00:23:31,202 --> 00:23:33,347
Charlie, I think it's getting
a little late for everyone.
479
00:23:33,371 --> 00:23:33,955
You're throwing me out?
480
00:23:34,164 --> 00:23:36,166
I ain't throwing you
nowhere, you live upstairs.
481
00:23:36,374 --> 00:23:38,668
Oh, come on mama.
482
00:23:38,877 --> 00:23:40,337
Charlie.
483
00:23:42,881 --> 00:23:44,090
Charlie!
484
00:23:44,299 --> 00:23:46,885
Why don't you make up your mind, huh?
485
00:23:47,093 --> 00:23:49,179
Mean it's Charlie this, Charlie that,
486
00:23:49,387 --> 00:23:51,681
Charlie go, Charlie stay!
487
00:23:51,890 --> 00:23:53,266
What do you want me to do?
488
00:23:53,475 --> 00:23:54,684
Just shake your hand and smile
489
00:23:54,893 --> 00:23:56,853
and go upstairs and spend the night
490
00:23:57,062 --> 00:23:59,481
all by myself in that rotten bed?
491
00:24:00,565 --> 00:24:01,066
Hey wait a minute--
492
00:24:01,274 --> 00:24:03,401
Well you've got another thing coming!
493
00:24:22,170 --> 00:24:23,421
No no, Wil!
494
00:24:23,630 --> 00:24:25,674
You're hitting it too
flat with your hands.
495
00:24:25,882 --> 00:24:26,925
Let me show you.
496
00:24:27,133 --> 00:24:29,093
Okay, you got to keep it
out on your fingers, see?
497
00:24:29,260 --> 00:24:30,762
Like this.
498
00:24:30,971 --> 00:24:32,472
Here, you try.
499
00:24:35,558 --> 00:24:36,351
Like that, Cornbread?
500
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:37,560
Yeah, that's better.
501
00:24:37,769 --> 00:24:40,355
Okay, it's me and you, one on one.
502
00:24:40,563 --> 00:24:42,857
Keep your back to me and
guard the ball with your body.
503
00:24:43,066 --> 00:24:45,527
And your right hand
out, so I don't get it.
504
00:24:47,654 --> 00:24:49,739
I, I can't get it
Cornbread, not like that.
505
00:24:49,948 --> 00:24:52,117
Oh yes you can, Wil.
506
00:24:55,745 --> 00:24:56,745
Can I shoot?
507
00:24:56,830 --> 00:24:58,289
Sure!
508
00:25:00,583 --> 00:25:02,711
Okay you face the basket
and you be in balance.
509
00:25:02,919 --> 00:25:04,963
You get the ball, and you
put it on your fingertips.
510
00:25:05,714 --> 00:25:08,425
And make sure it feels
good and take your time.
511
00:25:08,633 --> 00:25:10,153
Okay, it's on your fingertips, and you
512
00:25:10,260 --> 00:25:13,013
hold it high and let it fly!
513
00:25:22,063 --> 00:25:23,648
Hey!
514
00:25:28,820 --> 00:25:29,964
That's it, we'll end the lesson.
515
00:25:29,988 --> 00:25:32,282
I'll see you in the locker
room in a few minutes.
516
00:25:33,199 --> 00:25:34,951
Come on Wil, get going!
517
00:25:42,167 --> 00:25:45,378
Mr. Wilson's gonna be here any minute.
518
00:25:45,587 --> 00:25:47,589
I think you guys better split.
519
00:25:47,797 --> 00:25:49,382
The hell with Mr. Wilson.
520
00:25:49,591 --> 00:25:51,468
What'd you do with them pills, man?
521
00:25:51,676 --> 00:25:53,511
What pills, stud?
522
00:25:54,763 --> 00:25:55,847
Come on, man.
523
00:25:56,056 --> 00:25:58,308
You know what we talking about.
524
00:25:58,516 --> 00:26:00,685
The stuff that was in the locker.
525
00:26:00,894 --> 00:26:03,354
I flushed it down the toilet.
526
00:26:03,563 --> 00:26:05,190
You what?
527
00:26:05,398 --> 00:26:08,026
Hey man, that dope was
worth a lot of bread!
528
00:26:08,234 --> 00:26:08,902
I told your friends not
529
00:26:09,110 --> 00:26:11,071
to bring that stuff in here!
530
00:26:11,279 --> 00:26:14,574
Nah, you don't tell
us nothing superstar.
531
00:26:14,783 --> 00:26:15,909
Your time has come.
532
00:26:16,117 --> 00:26:16,785
Look, I ain't got time--
533
00:26:31,341 --> 00:26:32,550
Hey!
534
00:26:39,766 --> 00:26:41,518
What's going on?
535
00:26:41,726 --> 00:26:42,726
You okay?
536
00:26:42,769 --> 00:26:44,914
The kid was telling me you
were in some kind of trouble.
537
00:26:44,938 --> 00:26:46,898
My cousin.
538
00:26:47,107 --> 00:26:48,608
Well what kind of trouble?
539
00:26:48,817 --> 00:26:49,984
It's all over, Mr. Wilson.
540
00:26:50,193 --> 00:26:51,319
Thank you.
541
00:26:51,528 --> 00:26:53,905
We sure don't want anything
to happen to you, Nathaniel.
542
00:26:54,114 --> 00:26:56,950
Ain't nothing going to
happen to me, Mr. Wilson.
543
00:26:57,158 --> 00:26:59,244
That college needs me too bad.
544
00:27:02,872 --> 00:27:05,500
2A36, 2A36.
545
00:27:07,210 --> 00:27:08,210
2A36.
546
00:27:08,294 --> 00:27:09,879
Ambulance, gunshot victim.
547
00:27:10,088 --> 00:27:13,424
5525 West Elm, see them in.
548
00:27:13,633 --> 00:27:16,261
2A36, roger.
549
00:27:16,469 --> 00:27:18,263
Hey, that's back in this block.
550
00:27:35,989 --> 00:27:37,824
Come on kids, I'll buy you a pop!
551
00:27:42,036 --> 00:27:44,414
This guy comes busting
out of there carrying a gun.
552
00:27:44,622 --> 00:27:48,585
Almost knocks me down, then he
turns and run up them stairs,
553
00:27:48,793 --> 00:27:50,378
and I wasn't about to follow him.
554
00:27:50,587 --> 00:27:51,337
Describe him to me.
555
00:27:51,546 --> 00:27:53,756
Can't, too dark out here.
556
00:27:56,968 --> 00:27:58,303
Was he, uh,
557
00:27:58,511 --> 00:27:59,596
was he black?
558
00:27:59,804 --> 00:28:01,556
'Course he was.
559
00:28:01,764 --> 00:28:04,309
Wasn't that dark out here.
560
00:28:04,517 --> 00:28:05,518
Anything else?
561
00:28:05,727 --> 00:28:08,771
Yeah, he was big.
562
00:28:09,689 --> 00:28:11,608
Mighty big.
563
00:28:11,816 --> 00:28:12,525
She's shot, she's hurt pretty
564
00:28:12,734 --> 00:28:15,069
bad too, but she's breathing.
565
00:28:16,821 --> 00:28:17,906
I'm going after him.
566
00:28:18,114 --> 00:28:21,409
Okay, I'll wait for the
ambulance, then I'll follow you.
567
00:28:21,618 --> 00:28:23,995
Hey John, heads up out
there man, all right?
568
00:28:24,204 --> 00:28:26,289
Hey hey hey hey, this
ain't no playground.
569
00:28:26,497 --> 00:28:28,791
Cash customers only, come on son, go home.
570
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,919
Come on, pop, it's raining outside!
571
00:28:31,127 --> 00:28:32,712
I know it is, son, it's good for ya.
572
00:28:32,921 --> 00:28:34,801
Wash some of that schoolyard
dust off your neck.
573
00:28:34,923 --> 00:28:36,591
Come on, move out, I mean it.
574
00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:38,885
I ain't running no free store.
575
00:28:39,093 --> 00:28:40,470
Come on boys, let's go home.
576
00:28:40,678 --> 00:28:42,388
Let's go home, come on son.
577
00:29:09,874 --> 00:29:10,874
You cheater!
578
00:29:11,209 --> 00:29:13,127
You can't do
what you done, Wilford.
579
00:29:13,878 --> 00:29:14,878
No you can't!
580
00:29:14,921 --> 00:29:16,839
No you can't, no you can't!
581
00:29:17,048 --> 00:29:18,716
Man, dig those threads.
582
00:29:18,925 --> 00:29:20,260
- Yeah.
- Mhmm.
583
00:29:20,468 --> 00:29:23,388
All courtesy of that
great big policy wheel
584
00:29:23,596 --> 00:29:25,765
spinning up there in the sky.
585
00:29:25,974 --> 00:29:28,518
Your pie must be soaking
wet today, One-Eye.
586
00:29:28,726 --> 00:29:31,479
Mm, you passing up a
good thing, Cornbread.
587
00:29:31,688 --> 00:29:33,168
Running for me will pay you more than
588
00:29:33,231 --> 00:29:35,108
running up and down on a wooden floor.
589
00:29:35,316 --> 00:29:37,944
Ahh, wait a minute,
One-Eye, lay off him.
590
00:29:38,152 --> 00:29:40,488
He's leaving for college in two weeks.
591
00:29:40,697 --> 00:29:41,977
First boy from this neighborhood
592
00:29:42,031 --> 00:29:43,616
to make something out of himself.
593
00:29:43,825 --> 00:29:45,159
Hold on, there.
594
00:29:45,368 --> 00:29:46,411
I mean something legal.
595
00:29:48,079 --> 00:29:50,748
If the good lord didn't
believe in numbers,
596
00:29:52,458 --> 00:29:54,669
he would not have invented the wheel.
597
00:30:05,847 --> 00:30:06,889
Halt!
598
00:30:07,098 --> 00:30:08,433
Police!
599
00:30:14,022 --> 00:30:17,400
Nathaniel, you must live on that stuff!
600
00:30:17,608 --> 00:30:18,943
Hard to believe orange soda
601
00:30:19,152 --> 00:30:21,279
can make a kid grow eight feet tall.
602
00:30:22,613 --> 00:30:23,613
Thanks, Cornbread.
603
00:30:23,698 --> 00:30:24,824
Yeah, thanks.
604
00:30:25,033 --> 00:30:26,033
I better get on home.
605
00:30:26,159 --> 00:30:27,535
It's raining too hard, son.
606
00:30:27,744 --> 00:30:29,495
Yeah you drown out there.
607
00:30:29,704 --> 00:30:31,873
He's so quick, he can
run between the rain drops.
608
00:30:32,081 --> 00:30:33,333
He's the quickest there is.
609
00:30:33,541 --> 00:30:34,542
Oh yeah?
610
00:30:34,751 --> 00:30:35,751
He is!
611
00:30:35,877 --> 00:30:37,378
Ain't you the quickest, Cornbread?
612
00:30:37,587 --> 00:30:38,587
Quick enough.
613
00:30:38,629 --> 00:30:39,339
I bet you could make it home
614
00:30:39,547 --> 00:30:41,341
from here in about ten seconds flat.
615
00:30:41,549 --> 00:30:43,051
Ah.
616
00:30:43,259 --> 00:30:45,261
No, not that fast little cousin.
617
00:30:45,470 --> 00:30:46,637
Maybe,
618
00:30:46,846 --> 00:30:49,015
in this rain,
619
00:30:49,223 --> 00:30:50,850
I could make it in 25 seconds.
620
00:30:51,059 --> 00:30:52,894
No way, you'll never do it.
621
00:30:53,102 --> 00:30:53,895
I bet he could!
622
00:30:54,103 --> 00:30:55,313
I bet he couldn't.
623
00:30:55,521 --> 00:30:57,690
Hm, what you got to bet, little man?
624
00:30:57,899 --> 00:31:00,109
Bet him a bottle of pop.
625
00:31:00,318 --> 00:31:00,902
Is that a deal?
626
00:31:01,110 --> 00:31:02,110
That's a deal.
627
00:31:11,579 --> 00:31:13,748
Okay Mr. J. one more
orange for when I get home.
628
00:31:13,956 --> 00:31:15,316
How we gon' time you, Cornbread?
629
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:16,250
I got the watch.
630
00:31:16,459 --> 00:31:18,503
No, no, no, no, nothing
on you runs straight.
631
00:31:19,629 --> 00:31:21,047
We'll use mine.
632
00:31:26,803 --> 00:31:28,429
Jesus, Larry!
633
00:31:31,557 --> 00:31:32,850
Do you see him?
634
00:31:33,059 --> 00:31:33,434
Nah.
635
00:31:33,643 --> 00:31:35,103
Where the hell did he go?
636
00:31:35,311 --> 00:31:36,351
Listen John, be careful.
637
00:31:36,479 --> 00:31:37,479
This one's kind of a nut.
638
00:31:37,647 --> 00:31:38,647
Know what I mean?
639
00:31:38,689 --> 00:31:39,982
Okay, everybody outside.
640
00:31:45,780 --> 00:31:47,615
Get back in the apartment!
641
00:31:48,574 --> 00:31:49,117
Get back in the apartment!
642
00:31:49,325 --> 00:31:50,451
Hey, he's over here!
643
00:31:56,916 --> 00:31:57,458
Are you ready?
644
00:31:57,667 --> 00:31:58,292
Yeah!
645
00:31:58,501 --> 00:31:59,501
Okay here I go!
646
00:31:59,585 --> 00:32:00,628
And a one!
647
00:32:00,837 --> 00:32:01,921
And a two!
648
00:32:02,130 --> 00:32:04,298
And a three, and a four!
649
00:32:04,507 --> 00:32:06,217
Come on Cornbread, go!
650
00:32:06,426 --> 00:32:08,344
And a six, and a seven.
651
00:32:08,553 --> 00:32:09,303
He'll never make it!
652
00:32:13,641 --> 00:32:15,393
Halt, police officer!
653
00:32:15,601 --> 00:32:18,354
And a 13, and a 14.
654
00:32:27,405 --> 00:32:28,448
And a 19!
655
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,501
There he is!
656
00:32:42,003 --> 00:32:43,045
Halt, police!
657
00:32:56,476 --> 00:32:57,768
Cornbread!
658
00:32:57,977 --> 00:32:58,728
Come back here, boys.
659
00:32:58,936 --> 00:33:00,271
Cornbread!
660
00:33:02,064 --> 00:33:03,983
You get in the store and stay there.
661
00:33:14,452 --> 00:33:17,288
Cornbread, Cornbread!
662
00:33:17,497 --> 00:33:22,293
Cornbread, Cornbread, come on man, get up!
663
00:33:22,502 --> 00:33:23,294
He's dead.
664
00:33:23,503 --> 00:33:25,338
No, no, he isn't, come on Cornbread!
665
00:33:25,546 --> 00:33:26,546
Get up!
666
00:33:26,672 --> 00:33:28,007
Phone it in, Larry.
667
00:33:28,216 --> 00:33:29,550
Right.
668
00:33:30,635 --> 00:33:32,261
Cornbread.
669
00:33:33,471 --> 00:33:36,307
Come on kid, you can't do that.
670
00:33:36,516 --> 00:33:39,310
You killed Cornbread!
671
00:33:39,519 --> 00:33:41,270
He's dead!
672
00:33:42,688 --> 00:33:45,191
They killed him and he
wasn't doing nothing!
673
00:33:45,399 --> 00:33:46,627
They think that
boy was shoot and killed.
674
00:33:46,651 --> 00:33:48,819
He was just running
home and they killed him!
675
00:33:49,028 --> 00:33:50,530
Ain't no damn good.
676
00:33:52,615 --> 00:33:54,951
Hey kid, keep it quiet.
677
00:33:55,159 --> 00:33:57,161
You killed him!
678
00:33:59,121 --> 00:33:59,622
Dirty pigs!
679
00:33:59,830 --> 00:34:02,041
Come on, break it up, break it up!
680
00:34:02,250 --> 00:34:04,377
They killed Cornbread!
681
00:34:06,170 --> 00:34:10,216
He wasn't doing nothing,
and they killed him!
682
00:34:10,424 --> 00:34:11,818
They shot
him down like a dog.
683
00:34:16,430 --> 00:34:19,058
They murdered him!
684
00:34:19,267 --> 00:34:20,935
Move it back, stay clear!
685
00:34:21,143 --> 00:34:22,562
Pull it back.
686
00:34:24,981 --> 00:34:27,149
They shot Cornbread!
687
00:34:31,153 --> 00:34:33,281
They killed Cornbread!
688
00:34:33,489 --> 00:34:36,033
They shot him!
689
00:34:36,242 --> 00:34:37,410
Move it back.
690
00:34:37,618 --> 00:34:40,079
Hey you, move it, get off that.
691
00:34:40,288 --> 00:34:44,333
They murdered him, they shot him!
692
00:34:46,210 --> 00:34:47,795
Somebody did it!
693
00:34:59,807 --> 00:35:02,435
2A36 requesting assistance.
694
00:35:02,643 --> 00:35:06,439
415 loop 743 Marigold--
695
00:35:40,598 --> 00:35:42,224
Wilford!
696
00:35:43,392 --> 00:35:45,019
Wilford?
697
00:35:52,735 --> 00:35:53,778
Wilford!
698
00:36:30,815 --> 00:36:32,441
You all right?
699
00:36:39,448 --> 00:36:41,158
Are you all right?
700
00:36:41,367 --> 00:36:43,285
Are you hurt, answer me!
701
00:36:44,954 --> 00:36:46,831
They killed Cornbread.
702
00:36:47,039 --> 00:36:48,719
You're crazy, we got to get out of here.
703
00:36:48,916 --> 00:36:51,293
Everybody's crazy.
704
00:36:51,502 --> 00:36:53,629
They did mama, it's true.
705
00:36:53,838 --> 00:36:56,215
No, no, no, they ain't killed...
706
00:37:01,387 --> 00:37:03,556
Oh my god.
707
00:37:09,603 --> 00:37:11,897
Why?
708
00:37:12,106 --> 00:37:15,025
Why you done do this to us?
709
00:37:18,362 --> 00:37:20,114
Is that your son?
710
00:37:22,199 --> 00:37:23,951
I'm sorry.
711
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,203
But is that Nathaniel Hamilton?
712
00:37:33,210 --> 00:37:34,795
Sign here please.
713
00:37:51,812 --> 00:37:53,314
Can uh...
714
00:37:55,191 --> 00:37:57,067
Can we have him now?
715
00:38:11,957 --> 00:38:14,585
Street ain't never
been this clean before.
716
00:38:16,504 --> 00:38:19,757
They think they can wipe
out Cornbread that easily.
717
00:38:20,925 --> 00:38:22,152
Mama, I don't think I'll play
718
00:38:22,176 --> 00:38:25,054
basketball as long as I live.
719
00:38:27,681 --> 00:38:29,475
Yes you will, too.
720
00:38:31,936 --> 00:38:33,854
Not today.
721
00:38:34,063 --> 00:38:35,773
Someday soon.
722
00:38:41,403 --> 00:38:43,280
They murdered him, mama.
723
00:38:44,198 --> 00:38:45,366
They killed him.
724
00:38:49,829 --> 00:38:50,996
They're not gonna kill you.
725
00:38:51,205 --> 00:38:52,331
Who's gonna stop 'em?
726
00:38:52,540 --> 00:38:53,999
You and me.
727
00:38:56,210 --> 00:38:58,313
Cornbread didn't make it, but
we're gonna work real hard.
728
00:38:58,337 --> 00:39:00,214
We're gonna get you out of here.
729
00:39:01,549 --> 00:39:03,884
I'm afraid I still don't understand
730
00:39:04,093 --> 00:39:06,846
precisely what it is you expect of me.
731
00:39:07,847 --> 00:39:10,683
The police killed our boy.
732
00:39:10,891 --> 00:39:12,309
Yes, I know.
733
00:39:12,518 --> 00:39:14,520
Can't nothing be done about that?
734
00:39:15,479 --> 00:39:17,231
According to the newspapers he assaulted
735
00:39:17,439 --> 00:39:18,941
a woman and very nearly killed her.
736
00:39:19,149 --> 00:39:20,651
It's a lie.
737
00:39:22,027 --> 00:39:24,238
Our son ain't commit no crime.
738
00:39:25,197 --> 00:39:27,575
Well then why did he
run from the police?
739
00:39:27,783 --> 00:39:29,869
He wasn't running from the police.
740
00:39:30,786 --> 00:39:33,247
He was at the candy store drinking a soda.
741
00:39:34,248 --> 00:39:36,375
He was running home in the rain.
742
00:39:38,043 --> 00:39:40,004
And they shot him in the back.
743
00:39:41,255 --> 00:39:43,424
And he had nothing to do with the crime?
744
00:39:43,632 --> 00:39:45,259
Nothing.
745
00:39:46,468 --> 00:39:48,220
Well they say the victim is unable
746
00:39:48,429 --> 00:39:50,931
to identify her assailant.
747
00:39:51,140 --> 00:39:53,183
Well I wish she could, Mr. Blackwell
748
00:39:53,392 --> 00:39:57,354
because if she could she would
tell you it was not our son.
749
00:39:57,563 --> 00:39:59,207
Well then you want me to bring an action
750
00:39:59,231 --> 00:40:01,734
against the city for wrongful death.
751
00:40:04,153 --> 00:40:06,864
Well, you see, if the
police shot and killed
752
00:40:07,072 --> 00:40:09,533
your son without just cause,
753
00:40:09,742 --> 00:40:12,661
you can sue the city and collect damages.
754
00:40:12,870 --> 00:40:14,705
We don't want money.
755
00:40:14,914 --> 00:40:17,207
We want our son's name cleared.
756
00:40:18,334 --> 00:40:19,835
We don't want nobody going around
757
00:40:20,044 --> 00:40:22,171
and saying that our son was a criminal.
758
00:40:22,379 --> 00:40:25,799
We want the police to admit
that they did something wrong.
759
00:40:27,009 --> 00:40:29,803
I'm afraid you won't get
them to admit anything.
760
00:40:31,513 --> 00:40:33,724
You'll have to prove it in a courtroom.
761
00:40:36,477 --> 00:40:38,187
Then we go to court.
762
00:40:40,105 --> 00:40:43,275
Perhaps you ought to think
this over for a few days.
763
00:40:44,693 --> 00:40:46,695
First there'll be an inquest.
764
00:40:46,904 --> 00:40:49,198
Then you'll file your civil suit.
765
00:40:49,406 --> 00:40:52,034
The procedures will be
expensive and very difficult.
766
00:40:53,327 --> 00:40:54,787
Excuse me.
767
00:40:56,956 --> 00:40:58,874
Yes?
768
00:40:59,083 --> 00:41:01,001
Tell him I'll call back.
769
00:41:01,210 --> 00:41:03,754
And hold all calls, please.
770
00:41:03,963 --> 00:41:06,131
Thank you.
771
00:41:06,340 --> 00:41:08,342
I'm sorry for the interruption.
772
00:41:09,927 --> 00:41:14,223
The city has received a lot of
bad publicity in this matter.
773
00:41:14,431 --> 00:41:16,225
You can expect the district attorney,
774
00:41:16,433 --> 00:41:18,686
the coroner, and the police department to
775
00:41:18,894 --> 00:41:21,522
close ranks and try to protect each other.
776
00:41:23,941 --> 00:41:26,068
You'll have to find witnesses.
777
00:41:30,364 --> 00:41:32,032
We got witnesses.
778
00:41:36,996 --> 00:41:39,248
You'd be surprised how
strangely people behave
779
00:41:39,456 --> 00:41:42,459
when they have to testify
in a legal matter.
780
00:41:43,752 --> 00:41:47,089
There will be pressure brought
to bear in a lot of places.
781
00:42:05,983 --> 00:42:07,943
What's this?
782
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,994
That's a plane ticket.
783
00:42:27,713 --> 00:42:29,757
I'm afraid I don't understand.
784
00:42:36,805 --> 00:42:38,515
Mr. Blackwell.
785
00:42:40,309 --> 00:42:42,895
Our son was a fine athlete.
786
00:42:43,103 --> 00:42:46,148
A lot of colleges offered him scholarships
787
00:42:46,356 --> 00:42:50,277
and he had finally decided
which school he wanted to go to.
788
00:42:51,236 --> 00:42:54,364
This morning we were supposed to drive him
789
00:42:54,573 --> 00:42:58,494
to the airport so he
could fly down to school.
790
00:43:01,955 --> 00:43:03,791
That's his plane ticket.
791
00:43:06,001 --> 00:43:07,711
We'll cash it in and bring you
792
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,547
the money as part of your fee.
793
00:43:15,761 --> 00:43:17,387
Mrs. Hamilton.
794
00:43:18,889 --> 00:43:20,182
You don't have to do that.
795
00:43:20,390 --> 00:43:22,851
That's the way we
want it, Mr. Blackwell.
796
00:43:35,989 --> 00:43:38,867
My goodness, you can see
the whole world from up here.
797
00:43:42,079 --> 00:43:43,747
Come on now, Wilford, you can't
798
00:43:43,956 --> 00:43:46,083
see nothing staring at your lap.
799
00:43:46,291 --> 00:43:49,086
Ain't nothing I wanna see.
800
00:43:49,294 --> 00:43:51,046
Look, look, look over there.
801
00:43:51,255 --> 00:43:53,590
That must be our street, Wilford.
802
00:43:53,799 --> 00:43:55,759
Wilford, won't you at least look?
803
00:43:57,094 --> 00:43:59,054
Okay, I'm looking.
804
00:44:06,270 --> 00:44:07,563
You shouldn't be here, Ben.
805
00:44:07,771 --> 00:44:09,773
Look I know that, but
I told the Hamiltons
806
00:44:09,982 --> 00:44:12,192
that you and I grew up
next door to each other.
807
00:44:12,401 --> 00:44:14,121
By the time I was ten
years old you were--
808
00:44:14,278 --> 00:44:16,947
And I was sure you were a straight cop.
809
00:44:30,127 --> 00:44:32,254
Are you still planning to be a teacher?
810
00:44:33,714 --> 00:44:36,008
Yeah, six years of night school.
811
00:44:36,216 --> 00:44:38,552
I should get my credential in January
812
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:40,053
then we'll see what happens.
813
00:44:40,262 --> 00:44:44,391
I mean, not a lawyer, Ben, but I
814
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,268
do the best I can.
815
00:44:48,187 --> 00:44:50,230
I admire you for sticking with it.
816
00:44:52,816 --> 00:44:54,443
What do you want, Ben?
817
00:44:56,862 --> 00:44:57,964
I'm hoping you can tell me
818
00:44:57,988 --> 00:45:00,073
something about the Hamilton case.
819
00:45:02,409 --> 00:45:06,830
We filed a complete report
with the division, right?
820
00:45:07,039 --> 00:45:10,584
And then the interns
send copies to homicide,
821
00:45:10,792 --> 00:45:13,545
the DA's office, and internal affairs,
822
00:45:13,754 --> 00:45:15,505
which I'm sure you've read.
823
00:45:16,715 --> 00:45:18,842
Now as long as Golich
and I testify to what's
824
00:45:19,051 --> 00:45:22,971
in that report, exactly
what's in that report,
825
00:45:23,180 --> 00:45:24,973
we got no problems.
826
00:45:25,182 --> 00:45:26,516
The city will back us 100%.
827
00:45:26,725 --> 00:45:30,020
Now we change one word
Ben, and we got troubles.
828
00:45:30,229 --> 00:45:31,897
And you know that man, so I don't
829
00:45:32,105 --> 00:45:33,565
know what you're talking about.
830
00:45:33,774 --> 00:45:34,566
There must be more to this thing
831
00:45:34,775 --> 00:45:36,318
than what's in that report.
832
00:45:36,526 --> 00:45:38,862
Well you're talking to the wrong guy.
833
00:45:39,071 --> 00:45:40,447
Talk to Golich.
834
00:45:42,157 --> 00:45:44,034
He's all uptight about this mess.
835
00:45:44,243 --> 00:45:45,410
But not you.
836
00:45:45,619 --> 00:45:47,621
No, not me.
837
00:45:47,829 --> 00:45:49,790
I know we shot the right guy.
838
00:45:52,251 --> 00:45:55,337
Well, how come Golich doesn't know it?
839
00:45:55,545 --> 00:45:57,256
Well, he knows it.
840
00:45:58,423 --> 00:46:00,884
But those newspapers you know?
841
00:46:01,093 --> 00:46:02,219
They kind of confused him.
842
00:46:02,427 --> 00:46:04,846
I mean they got headlines
like "Mistaken Identity"
843
00:46:05,055 --> 00:46:09,351
and "Good Family, Good
Kid, Police Brutality."
844
00:46:09,559 --> 00:46:12,854
You've heard it all before, Ben.
845
00:46:13,063 --> 00:46:15,899
Officer Golich has a conscience.
846
00:46:16,108 --> 00:46:18,151
Well he can afford one, he's white.
847
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,821
White, black, green, red.
848
00:46:25,075 --> 00:46:27,661
I wonder if you know all about the kid.
849
00:46:27,869 --> 00:46:30,247
You mean that he was an athlete, right?
850
00:46:30,455 --> 00:46:31,790
Big time hero, right?
851
00:46:31,999 --> 00:46:33,208
Good guy.
852
00:46:33,417 --> 00:46:35,252
Had a scholarship.
853
00:46:35,460 --> 00:46:37,838
Everybody's darling.
854
00:46:38,046 --> 00:46:41,174
Shit, Ben, he just
never got caught before.
855
00:46:42,801 --> 00:46:44,320
What if I told you I have witnesses?
856
00:46:44,344 --> 00:46:46,471
Now I'm not drawing any conclusions.
857
00:46:47,681 --> 00:46:49,349
Witnesses have told me that Cornbread
858
00:46:49,558 --> 00:46:51,768
couldn't have committed any crime.
859
00:46:52,978 --> 00:46:55,397
They actually saw him drinking a
860
00:46:55,605 --> 00:46:58,525
bottle of pop at a
grocery store at the time.
861
00:47:01,236 --> 00:47:03,864
So that, that means I'm lying right?
862
00:47:04,072 --> 00:47:05,615
Oh for Christ sakes, Larry, I'm sure
863
00:47:05,824 --> 00:47:07,326
you did what you thought was right.
864
00:47:07,534 --> 00:47:10,287
Maybe I'd have done the same thing.
865
00:47:10,495 --> 00:47:11,830
Oh would you, Ben?
866
00:47:12,039 --> 00:47:15,500
Would you, you and your
Brooks Brothers lawyer suit?
867
00:47:15,709 --> 00:47:17,520
Now wait a minute, where
did you think I got this?
868
00:47:17,544 --> 00:47:18,086
In law school?
869
00:47:18,295 --> 00:47:20,255
14 years old, right in front of the house
870
00:47:20,464 --> 00:47:22,341
on the street where you lived.
871
00:47:22,549 --> 00:47:25,385
Well it looks like to me
you healed up real well, Ben.
872
00:47:25,594 --> 00:47:29,056
But I am still on those same
funky streets day after day
873
00:47:29,264 --> 00:47:30,849
trying to deal with them maniacs, man,
874
00:47:31,058 --> 00:47:33,060
and let me tell you something.
875
00:47:33,268 --> 00:47:36,938
Those cats are after me with
more than just a safety razor.
876
00:47:37,147 --> 00:47:38,249
Yeah, don't give me that poor cop
877
00:47:38,273 --> 00:47:40,317
on the beat big city lawyer shit.
878
00:47:40,525 --> 00:47:42,235
Well then don't give me that old buddy
879
00:47:42,444 --> 00:47:44,071
from the neighborhood crap, man.
880
00:47:44,279 --> 00:47:46,573
This is me, Ben, this is Larry!
881
00:47:46,782 --> 00:47:47,800
Now you could not wait to get your
882
00:47:47,824 --> 00:47:50,118
black ass out of that neighborhood.
883
00:47:50,327 --> 00:47:51,995
Don't jive me, man.
884
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,085
You know I'm beginning to understand.
885
00:47:59,961 --> 00:48:04,466
You spent six years getting
ready to educate the natives.
886
00:48:06,301 --> 00:48:10,555
And now they turn around and
clobber the great missionary.
887
00:48:10,764 --> 00:48:13,016
No they're not natives, Ben.
888
00:48:14,476 --> 00:48:16,228
They're savages.
889
00:48:16,436 --> 00:48:18,939
And I am the keeper of the savages,
890
00:48:19,147 --> 00:48:21,108
and I keep them all together
891
00:48:21,316 --> 00:48:22,668
so they'll chop each other up and not
892
00:48:22,692 --> 00:48:25,237
maybe go into your neighborhood, Ben,
893
00:48:25,445 --> 00:48:26,863
and chop up the
894
00:48:27,823 --> 00:48:28,990
good people.
895
00:48:29,199 --> 00:48:30,867
For a guy who's only doing his duty,
896
00:48:31,076 --> 00:48:32,619
you're mighty worked up.
897
00:48:32,828 --> 00:48:34,830
Now you listen to me.
898
00:48:35,038 --> 00:48:36,057
You ever stop to think why those
899
00:48:36,081 --> 00:48:38,041
people beat you on the head?
900
00:48:39,167 --> 00:48:40,710
Because they've seen cops gun down
901
00:48:40,919 --> 00:48:43,338
people before and never made a move.
902
00:48:46,007 --> 00:48:47,968
Why this time?
903
00:48:48,176 --> 00:48:50,137
Why?
904
00:48:50,345 --> 00:48:53,265
'Cause Cornbread was a good kid
905
00:48:53,473 --> 00:48:54,575
and because they know he never did
906
00:48:54,599 --> 00:48:57,185
anything to earn a bullet in the heart.
907
00:48:59,312 --> 00:49:02,816
You, you talk about teaching, teaching.
908
00:49:03,024 --> 00:49:06,486
Are you gonna tell those kids
they're nothing but savages?
909
00:49:06,695 --> 00:49:08,280
No Ben, you'll tell 'em.
910
00:49:08,488 --> 00:49:09,808
Because people like you tell them
911
00:49:09,865 --> 00:49:12,325
that every day of their lives.
912
00:49:15,662 --> 00:49:17,873
If that's how you feel,
913
00:49:18,081 --> 00:49:20,500
a decent, honest guy like yourself,
914
00:49:21,418 --> 00:49:23,295
what chance have they got?
915
00:49:24,212 --> 00:49:26,381
Same chance everybody's got.
916
00:49:27,924 --> 00:49:30,010
Now I am tired, Ben.
917
00:49:30,969 --> 00:49:33,054
So just, get out.
918
00:49:34,181 --> 00:49:35,932
I'll be damned.
919
00:49:38,935 --> 00:49:40,079
I don't know why, but I always
920
00:49:40,103 --> 00:49:42,647
liked the Ferris wheel the best.
921
00:49:42,856 --> 00:49:45,358
You know mama, I
keep talking about Cornbread,
922
00:49:45,567 --> 00:49:47,652
and you keep talking about something else.
923
00:49:47,861 --> 00:49:50,822
Now, we gonna have to talk
about Cornbread sooner or later.
924
00:49:51,031 --> 00:49:53,450
That's all we've
been doing for days now.
925
00:49:53,658 --> 00:49:56,995
Thinking about Cornbread,
talking about Cornbread.
926
00:49:57,204 --> 00:49:59,372
But it ain't doing us no good.
927
00:50:01,958 --> 00:50:05,003
No matter what we do,
we can't bring him back.
928
00:50:11,343 --> 00:50:14,804
Cornbread could've hit 50 straight.
929
00:50:17,682 --> 00:50:18,266
What about the Looper?
930
00:50:18,475 --> 00:50:20,101
We'll go on that?
931
00:50:20,310 --> 00:50:21,895
Nah.
932
00:50:22,103 --> 00:50:24,648
I come to the carnival
once with Cornbread.
933
00:50:24,856 --> 00:50:26,691
He didn't like the Looper.
934
00:50:28,902 --> 00:50:32,030
Cornbread's not here, you and I are.
935
00:50:33,865 --> 00:50:34,616
Yeah, I know.
936
00:50:34,824 --> 00:50:36,868
Cornbread ain't here.
937
00:50:37,077 --> 00:50:38,828
Tell me why.
938
00:50:45,835 --> 00:50:47,921
Mama, can we go home now?
939
00:50:48,129 --> 00:50:50,382
Why don't we go on the Cyclone?
940
00:50:51,591 --> 00:50:54,094
I like that ride.
941
00:50:54,302 --> 00:50:55,762
Come on.
942
00:50:57,097 --> 00:50:58,777
This ain't good for you, mama.
943
00:50:58,848 --> 00:51:01,309
Sure it is, it keeps me young.
944
00:51:33,592 --> 00:51:36,261
Gee mama, you sure look weird.
945
00:51:37,512 --> 00:51:40,140
You don't look so hot yourself.
946
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,525
Oh my, oh no!
947
00:51:52,277 --> 00:51:55,238
Simmons and Kelly, downtown.
948
00:51:55,447 --> 00:51:57,240
Downtown?
949
00:51:57,449 --> 00:51:59,909
Usually see the fellas
from the station out here.
950
00:52:00,118 --> 00:52:00,785
We hear you been doing a lot of
951
00:52:00,994 --> 00:52:03,955
talking to a lot of people, huh?
952
00:52:04,164 --> 00:52:05,516
Oh you mean about the Hamilton kid?
953
00:52:05,540 --> 00:52:06,708
The one they shot?
954
00:52:06,916 --> 00:52:09,145
We understand Blackwell
wants you for a witness, right?
955
00:52:09,169 --> 00:52:10,545
Sure, why not?
956
00:52:10,754 --> 00:52:13,673
I saw those cops gun down that kid.
957
00:52:13,882 --> 00:52:15,634
You saw it, huh?
958
00:52:15,842 --> 00:52:17,761
That's strange.
959
00:52:17,969 --> 00:52:20,055
How could you see it
when you were so busy?
960
00:52:20,263 --> 00:52:21,056
Busy?
961
00:52:21,264 --> 00:52:21,931
Man I wasn't busy.
962
00:52:22,140 --> 00:52:24,934
Why don't you give us a
couple of bottles of soda, huh?
963
00:52:28,271 --> 00:52:29,814
Sure.
964
00:52:30,023 --> 00:52:31,524
On the house.
965
00:52:32,734 --> 00:52:34,694
Let's see now.
966
00:52:34,903 --> 00:52:36,321
What kind?
967
00:52:38,114 --> 00:52:39,699
Marijuana?
968
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,372
I hear all you colored store owners
969
00:52:45,580 --> 00:52:48,708
keep a supply for the school kids.
970
00:52:48,917 --> 00:52:50,157
Wow, when the judge gets hold
971
00:52:50,210 --> 00:52:52,712
of the guy that's doing this, whoo.
972
00:52:59,552 --> 00:53:01,763
What was that you were
saying about the shooting?
973
00:53:03,473 --> 00:53:05,517
Hey man, I thought I was at the store,
974
00:53:05,725 --> 00:53:07,686
maybe you guys, no,
it's just like he said.
975
00:53:07,894 --> 00:53:09,562
I was back here working, I was busy.
976
00:53:09,771 --> 00:53:12,524
I don't know nothing, just
like I said all the time.
977
00:53:13,858 --> 00:53:16,569
I knew all the time that
kid was a wrongdoer.
978
00:53:16,778 --> 00:53:20,657
I don't know nothing,
honest, I don't know nothing!
979
00:53:20,865 --> 00:53:22,909
I'll just keep these
for you for a while.
980
00:53:26,204 --> 00:53:28,206
We don't want to see you again, huh?
981
00:53:32,168 --> 00:53:33,808
Hey man, how you going to see me again?
982
00:53:33,878 --> 00:53:36,131
You ain't even see me the first time yet!
983
00:53:45,765 --> 00:53:48,101
You dirty bastards!
984
00:53:48,309 --> 00:53:50,395
You redneck sons of bitches!
985
00:53:50,603 --> 00:53:53,606
Goddamn dirty, rotten...
986
00:54:03,533 --> 00:54:04,993
Mr. Johnson?
987
00:54:05,201 --> 00:54:07,162
Yeah son?
988
00:54:07,370 --> 00:54:09,497
Why don't you all want
me to tell the truth.
989
00:54:12,834 --> 00:54:15,754
It's not that we don't
want you to tell the truth.
990
00:54:15,962 --> 00:54:18,465
We just don't want you to
say anything right now.
991
00:54:20,175 --> 00:54:22,260
That's not telling a lie, is it?
992
00:54:24,763 --> 00:54:26,347
Yes it is.
993
00:54:28,183 --> 00:54:29,893
What did you say?
994
00:54:30,101 --> 00:54:31,102
Well.
995
00:54:31,311 --> 00:54:34,355
Mama says that if you see something wrong
996
00:54:34,564 --> 00:54:36,524
and you don't say nothing about it,
997
00:54:36,733 --> 00:54:38,860
well that's just the
same as telling a lie.
998
00:54:39,068 --> 00:54:40,487
Right mama?
999
00:54:42,697 --> 00:54:46,743
And I don't tell no lies, do I mama?
1000
00:54:49,621 --> 00:54:51,206
All right.
1001
00:54:53,750 --> 00:54:56,586
Now I've been trying to
be easy with you folks.
1002
00:54:56,795 --> 00:54:58,505
Now I'm the precinct captain,
1003
00:54:58,713 --> 00:55:01,049
and behind me is the whole damn city.
1004
00:55:02,217 --> 00:55:05,136
Now if you want to take on a
whole city you go right ahead.
1005
00:55:06,888 --> 00:55:09,140
Sergeant Danaher is
waiting to question Wilford
1006
00:55:09,349 --> 00:55:11,392
and he'd better get the right answers.
1007
00:55:11,601 --> 00:55:13,728
You hear me?
1008
00:55:13,937 --> 00:55:17,106
He'd better get the right answers.
1009
00:55:17,315 --> 00:55:19,067
'Cause if he doesn't, you can
1010
00:55:19,275 --> 00:55:21,361
forget about your Welfare check.
1011
00:55:21,569 --> 00:55:23,154
You wouldn't do that.
1012
00:55:23,363 --> 00:55:25,490
Oh, I'm finally getting
through to you, huh?
1013
00:55:25,698 --> 00:55:28,159
You just remember that, Sarah Robinson.
1014
00:55:28,368 --> 00:55:30,912
You let this smartass kid
of yours talk too much
1015
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,499
and you'll be off Welfare
like that.
1016
00:55:48,054 --> 00:55:50,515
Okay kid.
1017
00:55:50,723 --> 00:55:52,934
Now.
1018
00:55:53,142 --> 00:55:55,228
What do you know about this thing?
1019
00:55:55,436 --> 00:55:58,940
Nathaniel Hamilton, Cornbread,
1020
00:55:59,148 --> 00:56:00,984
whatever you people call him.
1021
00:56:02,151 --> 00:56:04,821
What do I know, sir?
1022
00:56:05,029 --> 00:56:07,740
Yeah, did you see him
the day he was shot?
1023
00:56:07,949 --> 00:56:09,409
Yes sir.
1024
00:56:10,743 --> 00:56:13,246
What do you mean you saw him?
1025
00:56:13,454 --> 00:56:15,832
That ain't the right answer.
1026
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:17,709
Well I saw him.
1027
00:56:17,917 --> 00:56:19,478
Geez, what's the matter with you people?
1028
00:56:19,502 --> 00:56:21,504
Didn't you listen to what Johnson said?
1029
00:56:22,714 --> 00:56:24,775
All right, well don't let
that kid give me any trouble.
1030
00:56:24,799 --> 00:56:27,176
We don't want any trouble.
1031
00:56:27,385 --> 00:56:28,887
Okay kid.
1032
00:56:29,095 --> 00:56:31,222
Let's take it from the beginning.
1033
00:56:31,431 --> 00:56:33,558
As far as I get it, you don't know nothing
1034
00:56:33,766 --> 00:56:35,268
at all about this whole thing.
1035
00:56:35,476 --> 00:56:37,186
He didn't say that.
1036
00:56:37,395 --> 00:56:39,022
I'm talking to him.
1037
00:56:42,358 --> 00:56:44,903
You don't know nothing, right?
1038
00:56:48,364 --> 00:56:50,158
You didn't see nothing.
1039
00:56:52,118 --> 00:56:53,161
Did you?
1040
00:56:53,369 --> 00:56:54,579
Take your hands off him.
1041
00:56:54,787 --> 00:56:56,307
You didn't see nothing at all, did you?
1042
00:56:56,331 --> 00:56:57,582
Take your hands off him!
1043
00:56:57,790 --> 00:56:58,458
Shut up.
1044
00:56:58,666 --> 00:57:00,668
I will not shut up!
1045
00:57:01,711 --> 00:57:03,338
Ah!
1046
00:57:04,505 --> 00:57:06,257
I said shut up, goddamn it!
1047
00:57:06,466 --> 00:57:08,466
Anymore of this crap, I'm
gonna run both of you in.
1048
00:57:08,509 --> 00:57:10,011
Come back here!
1049
00:57:10,219 --> 00:57:14,599
Charlie, Charlie, there's
a man beating my mama!
1050
00:57:14,807 --> 00:57:16,309
I'm scared Charlie!
1051
00:57:16,517 --> 00:57:17,517
Charlie, help!
1052
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,103
Listen, you can answer me, chief!
1053
00:57:19,312 --> 00:57:21,856
Hold it, damn it, hold on!
1054
00:57:22,065 --> 00:57:23,608
What's wrong with you?
1055
00:57:25,568 --> 00:57:26,235
You better put that away before
1056
00:57:26,444 --> 00:57:27,564
you get yourself in trouble.
1057
00:57:27,695 --> 00:57:28,488
You better let this kid alone
1058
00:57:28,696 --> 00:57:29,906
or you're gonna be in trouble.
1059
00:57:30,114 --> 00:57:31,824
Now get over there, move!
1060
00:57:33,242 --> 00:57:34,827
I'm a police officer.
1061
00:57:37,413 --> 00:57:40,208
Charlie, that man beat up my mama.
1062
00:57:40,416 --> 00:57:43,044
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah!
1063
00:57:43,252 --> 00:57:45,505
You gotta, Sarah!
1064
00:57:49,092 --> 00:57:50,802
You dirty mother!
1065
00:57:52,679 --> 00:57:55,515
Charlie, you got to get out of here.
1066
00:57:55,723 --> 00:57:57,058
He'll be back, Charlie.
1067
00:57:57,266 --> 00:57:58,768
They're gonna beat you bad.
1068
00:57:58,977 --> 00:58:00,103
She's right, man, here.
1069
00:58:00,311 --> 00:58:02,105
Take this, hide it somewhere, anywhere.
1070
00:58:05,608 --> 00:58:06,693
Listen, boy.
1071
00:58:06,901 --> 00:58:09,028
You see how you messing
up everybody's life?
1072
00:58:09,237 --> 00:58:11,656
You see how much trouble you causing?
1073
00:58:11,864 --> 00:58:13,008
Well if they hurt your mama, I'mma come
1074
00:58:13,032 --> 00:58:15,702
back and get her and take your tail in!
1075
00:58:20,373 --> 00:58:22,542
I appreciate that, Mr. Blackwell.
1076
00:58:25,545 --> 00:58:27,130
Thank you.
1077
00:58:39,350 --> 00:58:41,477
He said he'd do what he can.
1078
00:58:41,686 --> 00:58:42,830
Well does he understand about that
1079
00:58:42,854 --> 00:58:45,273
policeman hitting Sarah and Wilford?
1080
00:58:45,481 --> 00:58:46,983
Of course.
1081
00:58:51,362 --> 00:58:52,989
Where is Wilford?
1082
00:58:54,323 --> 00:58:56,701
Oh he was just here a little while ago.
1083
00:58:56,909 --> 00:58:58,661
Probably just went out to play.
1084
00:58:58,870 --> 00:58:59,870
Play?
1085
00:58:59,954 --> 00:59:01,998
He wouldn't play at a time like this.
1086
00:59:12,759 --> 00:59:14,719
Leona, he's run away.
1087
00:59:16,012 --> 00:59:17,012
Oh no.
1088
00:59:17,055 --> 00:59:18,973
No, no, no, Wilford is a smart child.
1089
00:59:19,182 --> 00:59:21,893
He wouldn't do a thing like
that, now you know that.
1090
00:59:22,101 --> 00:59:23,101
He's run away!
1091
00:59:23,227 --> 00:59:25,980
Oh no, no, come here, oh come on now.
1092
00:59:26,189 --> 00:59:28,441
Now, oh, Sarah, you,
1093
00:59:28,649 --> 00:59:30,234
you're sad.
1094
00:59:31,110 --> 00:59:32,990
I knew I was putting
too much pressure on him.
1095
00:59:33,071 --> 00:59:35,073
He's only 12 years old.
1096
00:59:35,281 --> 00:59:37,575
You're getting yourself all
upset over nothing, Sarah.
1097
00:59:37,784 --> 00:59:39,202
He's right.
1098
00:59:40,286 --> 00:59:41,871
What if that policeman finds him?
1099
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:43,414
He'll beat that child.
1100
00:59:43,623 --> 00:59:45,100
Ain't no policeman, even a white one
1101
00:59:45,124 --> 00:59:47,460
gonna beat a 12-year-old boy.
1102
00:59:47,668 --> 00:59:49,003
Yeah, but.
1103
00:59:49,212 --> 00:59:50,463
He heard what Charlie said.
1104
00:59:50,671 --> 00:59:52,381
He thinks he's making trouble for me
1105
00:59:52,590 --> 00:59:55,510
that's why he run away, I know him.
1106
00:59:55,718 --> 00:59:56,344
I know.
1107
00:59:56,552 --> 00:59:57,011
You're taking it--
1108
00:59:57,220 --> 00:59:57,970
Sorry.
1109
00:59:58,179 --> 00:59:59,419
Don't worry about it!
1110
00:59:59,597 --> 01:00:01,265
Now everything's going to be fine.
1111
01:00:22,995 --> 01:00:24,497
What the hell?
1112
01:00:30,253 --> 01:00:32,922
Aren't you the Robinson boy, Wilford?
1113
01:00:33,131 --> 01:00:34,465
Yes sir.
1114
01:00:38,052 --> 01:00:40,054
That's the card I gave your mother.
1115
01:00:42,306 --> 01:00:43,742
And I suppose the guys in the garage
1116
01:00:43,766 --> 01:00:45,810
told you where my car was.
1117
01:00:47,687 --> 01:00:49,188
You don't miss a thing, do you?
1118
01:00:49,397 --> 01:00:50,815
No sir.
1119
01:01:08,583 --> 01:01:10,293
Mr. Hamilton called.
1120
01:01:11,294 --> 01:01:14,046
He told me what happened
to you and your mother.
1121
01:01:14,255 --> 01:01:15,615
I'm heading for the police station
1122
01:01:15,673 --> 01:01:16,215
to try and straighten it out.
1123
01:01:16,424 --> 01:01:18,176
Hold it, hold it now!
1124
01:01:18,384 --> 01:01:19,468
Now look.
1125
01:01:19,677 --> 01:01:21,846
Close the door.
1126
01:01:22,054 --> 01:01:24,056
Now just relax.
1127
01:01:24,265 --> 01:01:24,891
Cops aren't going to make any
1128
01:01:25,099 --> 01:01:28,728
trouble for you while I'm around, okay?
1129
01:01:31,939 --> 01:01:33,983
Your mama didn't send you to me.
1130
01:01:35,568 --> 01:01:37,486
So she doesn't know where you are.
1131
01:01:39,030 --> 01:01:40,281
We better go call her.
1132
01:01:40,489 --> 01:01:42,325
I want to talk to you first.
1133
01:01:45,912 --> 01:01:47,997
Okay, we'll sit right here and talk.
1134
01:01:52,293 --> 01:01:55,504
Well you see, I'm the one
that started the whole trouble
1135
01:01:55,713 --> 01:01:57,423
'cause if I hadn't of told Mr. Hamilton
1136
01:01:57,632 --> 01:01:59,258
that I seen them shoot Cornbread,
1137
01:01:59,467 --> 01:02:01,719
then he wouldn't have gone to you.
1138
01:02:01,928 --> 01:02:03,804
You did the right thing.
1139
01:02:04,013 --> 01:02:07,266
Yeah, but now they're
gonna take off the Welfare.
1140
01:02:07,475 --> 01:02:10,561
Policeman comes and
beats up on me and mama,
1141
01:02:10,770 --> 01:02:12,480
and then Charlie says that I'm the one
1142
01:02:12,688 --> 01:02:15,233
that's causing all the trouble and splits.
1143
01:02:19,779 --> 01:02:21,405
So what's the answer, Wilford?
1144
01:02:21,614 --> 01:02:25,326
I'm gonna run away
then I don't have to lie
1145
01:02:25,534 --> 01:02:28,996
and they can't take mama
off the Welfare, see?
1146
01:02:30,915 --> 01:02:33,084
Yeah I see, but,
1147
01:02:33,292 --> 01:02:36,003
you run away and your mama's
gonna be plenty worried.
1148
01:02:37,088 --> 01:02:38,881
Yeah, that's where you come in.
1149
01:02:39,090 --> 01:02:40,090
Me?
1150
01:02:40,132 --> 01:02:43,010
Yeah, you find me a safe place to hide.
1151
01:02:44,595 --> 01:02:46,764
Then I'd be lying instead of you.
1152
01:02:47,974 --> 01:02:50,893
And I know you wouldn't
want to make me into a liar.
1153
01:02:55,147 --> 01:02:57,191
I still can't understand
where you found him.
1154
01:02:57,400 --> 01:02:59,402
Oh, he came to me.
1155
01:02:59,610 --> 01:03:00,890
Wilford came to my office to see
1156
01:03:00,945 --> 01:03:03,281
how he could help the situation.
1157
01:03:05,533 --> 01:03:07,785
I really can't thank you enough.
1158
01:03:07,994 --> 01:03:09,620
Oh it's no trouble.
1159
01:03:09,829 --> 01:03:11,205
It's all settled now.
1160
01:03:11,414 --> 01:03:12,790
I couldn't tell you on the phone,
1161
01:03:12,999 --> 01:03:16,335
but I made a deal with the police.
1162
01:03:16,544 --> 01:03:18,796
They won't prosecute you and Charlie
1163
01:03:19,005 --> 01:03:22,049
and we won't press charges
against Sergeant Danaher.
1164
01:03:23,092 --> 01:03:25,344
You something else, Mr. Blackwell.
1165
01:03:26,512 --> 01:03:30,016
Wilford gave the police his
statement while we were there.
1166
01:03:30,224 --> 01:03:32,518
I'm sure they won't bother you again.
1167
01:03:34,353 --> 01:03:36,397
I'm so very grateful.
1168
01:03:38,524 --> 01:03:39,859
Come on, Wilford.
1169
01:03:40,067 --> 01:03:41,694
You got to go get your pajamas.
1170
01:03:41,902 --> 01:03:42,528
Okay mama.
1171
01:03:42,737 --> 01:03:44,447
Put your pajamas on.
1172
01:03:48,826 --> 01:03:51,370
There's no reason Charlie
can't come home now.
1173
01:03:52,830 --> 01:03:56,250
Charlie doesn't live
here, he lives upstairs.
1174
01:03:56,459 --> 01:03:56,876
Oh.
1175
01:03:57,084 --> 01:03:58,586
Would you like a cup of coffee?
1176
01:03:58,794 --> 01:04:01,255
Oh no thanks, it's been a hard day.
1177
01:04:02,715 --> 01:04:04,759
But maybe we can do it another time?
1178
01:04:05,843 --> 01:04:09,221
I'll hold you to that, Mr. Blackwell.
1179
01:04:11,349 --> 01:04:11,849
Mrs. Robins--
1180
01:04:12,058 --> 01:04:14,352
Sarah.
1181
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:16,771
You have an extraordinary son.
1182
01:04:16,979 --> 01:04:19,774
I have to think you're a
very special kind of woman.
1183
01:04:30,910 --> 01:04:32,745
Say goodnight to Wilford for me.
1184
01:04:42,338 --> 01:04:45,257
You like Mr. Blackwell, mama.
1185
01:04:45,466 --> 01:04:46,926
Don't you?
1186
01:04:48,386 --> 01:04:50,012
I like him too.
1187
01:05:00,523 --> 01:05:02,775
You was ready to run away, weren't you?
1188
01:05:03,692 --> 01:05:04,692
Yes mama.
1189
01:05:04,860 --> 01:05:07,738
You thought by doing that
you would make my life easier?
1190
01:05:12,034 --> 01:05:14,203
Wilford, there is nothing in my life
1191
01:05:14,412 --> 01:05:16,914
more important to me than you.
1192
01:05:17,123 --> 01:05:19,500
Ain't nobody gonna scare us away.
1193
01:05:21,001 --> 01:05:23,796
We ain't got much, but we
do have our self respect
1194
01:05:24,004 --> 01:05:27,133
and now they trying to take that away.
1195
01:05:27,341 --> 01:05:29,218
They figure because I'm on the Welfare,
1196
01:05:29,427 --> 01:05:31,762
they can get me to keep you quiet.
1197
01:05:32,721 --> 01:05:34,723
But I'm not gonna do that.
1198
01:05:36,308 --> 01:05:37,428
I'm gonna ask you to do what
1199
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:40,896
you think is right, whatever that is.
1200
01:05:41,105 --> 01:05:42,773
Do you understand me?
1201
01:05:45,526 --> 01:05:47,862
I think so, mama.
1202
01:05:50,030 --> 01:05:51,907
This inquest will please come to order.
1203
01:05:52,116 --> 01:05:53,635
This is a hearing concerning the death
1204
01:05:53,659 --> 01:05:56,537
of one Nathaniel Hamilton.
1205
01:05:56,745 --> 01:05:58,515
Let's have a member of
the family step forward
1206
01:05:58,539 --> 01:06:00,708
and check out the family history.
1207
01:06:02,918 --> 01:06:06,046
The boy's age at the time of his death.
1208
01:06:07,173 --> 01:06:08,466
18.
1209
01:06:08,674 --> 01:06:11,051
And the boy's means of livelihood?
1210
01:06:12,470 --> 01:06:14,138
Student.
1211
01:06:15,264 --> 01:06:17,183
You mean he was unemployed.
1212
01:06:17,391 --> 01:06:20,478
Now Mr. Coroner, the young man
1213
01:06:20,686 --> 01:06:23,814
worked part time at a recreation center.
1214
01:06:24,023 --> 01:06:25,858
But he was enrolled in college,
1215
01:06:26,066 --> 01:06:29,069
and due to begin classes within two weeks.
1216
01:06:29,278 --> 01:06:31,739
The boy was not in school
at the time, counsel,
1217
01:06:31,947 --> 01:06:33,657
therefore he was unemployed.
1218
01:06:33,866 --> 01:06:36,285
Well, with all due
respect the fact remains
1219
01:06:36,494 --> 01:06:38,287
that Nathaniel Hamilton had graduated from
1220
01:06:38,496 --> 01:06:41,707
high school, and was
about to begin college.
1221
01:06:41,916 --> 01:06:43,501
All right, counsel.
1222
01:06:44,460 --> 01:06:45,252
Well I don't suppose that there's
1223
01:06:45,461 --> 01:06:48,422
anything else that we need to know.
1224
01:06:48,631 --> 01:06:49,631
That's all.
1225
01:06:49,715 --> 01:06:52,760
There's a $27 inquest fee but if you
1226
01:06:52,968 --> 01:06:57,264
sign this waiver you won't have to pay it.
1227
01:07:09,860 --> 01:07:11,338
Do you mean to tell me they're going to
1228
01:07:11,362 --> 01:07:14,240
make her pay for them killing her son?
1229
01:07:16,033 --> 01:07:16,742
Next they're going to ask her to
1230
01:07:16,951 --> 01:07:19,119
pay the cops for their bullets.
1231
01:07:24,083 --> 01:07:27,002
You really don't have
to pay it, you know.
1232
01:07:31,966 --> 01:07:34,343
That's right, Mrs. Hamilton.
1233
01:07:34,552 --> 01:07:36,470
Why don't you sign the waiver?
1234
01:07:43,602 --> 01:07:45,688
This isn't my idea, you know,
1235
01:07:45,896 --> 01:07:50,526
but the legislature won't abolish the fee.
1236
01:07:59,868 --> 01:08:01,370
That's all, thank you Mrs. Hamilton.
1237
01:08:01,579 --> 01:08:03,706
You can go back to your seat now.
1238
01:08:08,168 --> 01:08:09,712
I'm sorry.
1239
01:08:10,713 --> 01:08:12,298
Very sorry.
1240
01:08:13,716 --> 01:08:15,301
Thank you.
1241
01:08:21,473 --> 01:08:25,644
Our people made a very
thorough investigation.
1242
01:08:25,853 --> 01:08:28,188
In the first place, our informants tell us
1243
01:08:28,397 --> 01:08:29,982
Nathaniel Hamilton was a member
1244
01:08:30,190 --> 01:08:33,193
of a gang that robbed a number of people
1245
01:08:33,402 --> 01:08:36,739
and was guilty of many acts of violence.
1246
01:08:36,947 --> 01:08:40,451
Sergeant, just describe the incident.
1247
01:08:41,660 --> 01:08:43,245
Yes sir.
1248
01:08:43,454 --> 01:08:46,248
Officers Golich and Atkins answered a call
1249
01:08:46,457 --> 01:08:51,045
and found the victim unconscious
from a gunshot wound.
1250
01:08:51,253 --> 01:08:53,255
Officer Golich followed the assailant up
1251
01:08:53,464 --> 01:08:56,717
on a roof and down the fire escape.
1252
01:08:57,801 --> 01:08:59,887
Officer Golich called out
that he was a policeman
1253
01:09:00,095 --> 01:09:04,224
but the suspect continued
down the fire escape.
1254
01:09:04,433 --> 01:09:06,060
Then Atkins and Golich together
1255
01:09:06,268 --> 01:09:08,395
followed him through a building
1256
01:09:08,604 --> 01:09:10,856
and out into the areaway.
1257
01:09:11,065 --> 01:09:15,944
They again told him to
stop, but he did not.
1258
01:09:16,695 --> 01:09:20,199
They didn't shoot because they
could not see him clearly.
1259
01:09:20,407 --> 01:09:24,286
Then, he ran into the street.
1260
01:09:26,580 --> 01:09:28,749
Go on.
1261
01:09:28,957 --> 01:09:30,751
The officers followed him.
1262
01:09:30,959 --> 01:09:33,379
He had a shiny object in his hand
1263
01:09:33,587 --> 01:09:35,923
which they thought to be a gun.
1264
01:09:36,131 --> 01:09:39,802
The officers then ran
out into the street so
1265
01:09:40,010 --> 01:09:42,262
they could avoid shooting innocent people.
1266
01:09:43,389 --> 01:09:45,432
Continue, continue.
1267
01:09:46,975 --> 01:09:48,602
The officers gave a last warning
1268
01:09:48,811 --> 01:09:51,188
and when the suspect didn't stop,
1269
01:09:51,397 --> 01:09:54,775
they shot and killed him.
1270
01:09:56,610 --> 01:09:58,278
Thank you officer.
1271
01:09:59,321 --> 01:10:01,990
All right counsel, you got any questions?
1272
01:10:02,199 --> 01:10:03,784
For your indulgence.
1273
01:10:08,706 --> 01:10:12,209
You told us that in chasing the suspect,
1274
01:10:12,418 --> 01:10:16,672
the officers lost sight of
him on one or more occasions.
1275
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:19,258
Yeah, but just briefly.
1276
01:10:19,466 --> 01:10:20,968
Briefly.
1277
01:10:21,176 --> 01:10:23,011
But they did lose sight of him.
1278
01:10:25,723 --> 01:10:28,100
So the person they shot may not
1279
01:10:28,308 --> 01:10:30,602
have been the person they were chasing.
1280
01:10:32,020 --> 01:10:35,774
Well this guy was running
and they told him to halt.
1281
01:10:35,983 --> 01:10:37,526
What about the garbage truck?
1282
01:10:38,777 --> 01:10:40,487
What garbage truck?
1283
01:10:42,239 --> 01:10:44,283
Wasn't there a garbage
truck on the street
1284
01:10:44,491 --> 01:10:45,993
and wasn't it making so much noise
1285
01:10:46,201 --> 01:10:48,620
that no one could possibly
have heard the officers,
1286
01:10:48,829 --> 01:10:53,542
even if they did, as you
say, tell anyone to halt?
1287
01:10:55,502 --> 01:10:57,963
I don't know nothing
about a garbage truck.
1288
01:10:58,172 --> 01:11:03,051
All right, the policemen
are in the street
1289
01:11:03,427 --> 01:11:06,013
and they see someone running.
1290
01:11:06,221 --> 01:11:07,806
Is that right?
1291
01:11:08,849 --> 01:11:10,476
Yes sir.
1292
01:11:11,727 --> 01:11:13,896
And they thought he had a gun.
1293
01:11:14,104 --> 01:11:16,774
The shiny object.
1294
01:11:21,028 --> 01:11:23,030
What kind of a day was it, Sergeant?
1295
01:11:24,615 --> 01:11:25,282
Rain.
1296
01:11:25,491 --> 01:11:26,575
Light or heavy?
1297
01:11:26,784 --> 01:11:27,409
Pretty heavy.
1298
01:11:27,618 --> 01:11:29,870
And dark, it was dark, wasn't it?
1299
01:11:30,078 --> 01:11:30,662
Yeah.
1300
01:11:30,871 --> 01:11:33,207
And on this dark day with heavy rain,
1301
01:11:33,415 --> 01:11:34,875
the officers saw a shiny object
1302
01:11:35,083 --> 01:11:38,879
in the hands of someone running
in the opposite direction?
1303
01:11:39,087 --> 01:11:41,298
Is that your testimony?
1304
01:11:47,012 --> 01:11:50,766
Officer, did you ever
find the so-called weapon?
1305
01:11:51,767 --> 01:11:52,768
No.
1306
01:11:52,976 --> 01:11:57,856
Did anyone, anyone tell you
they definitely saw a weapon?
1307
01:12:00,150 --> 01:12:03,237
Well the officer said they
1308
01:12:03,445 --> 01:12:04,780
thought he had a gun.
1309
01:12:04,988 --> 01:12:06,490
Did any other witness tell you what
1310
01:12:06,698 --> 01:12:08,575
Nathaniel Hamilton had in his hand
1311
01:12:08,784 --> 01:12:10,702
at the time of the shooting?
1312
01:12:13,705 --> 01:12:17,334
Little kid said he had a bottle of pop.
1313
01:12:17,543 --> 01:12:18,919
A pop bottle?
1314
01:12:20,128 --> 01:12:21,588
Is that what he said?
1315
01:12:21,797 --> 01:12:23,257
That's right.
1316
01:12:25,175 --> 01:12:28,011
It was orange pop, wasn't it?
1317
01:12:28,220 --> 01:12:30,055
I don't remember the flavor.
1318
01:12:31,974 --> 01:12:33,725
Check your report.
1319
01:12:34,643 --> 01:12:37,938
If you say it was orange
pop, it was orange pop.
1320
01:12:38,146 --> 01:12:40,357
Well it's not what I
say, it's what you say.
1321
01:12:40,566 --> 01:12:41,692
You're under oath.
1322
01:12:41,900 --> 01:12:44,069
You have the statement
of the witness, check it.
1323
01:12:46,029 --> 01:12:48,407
I don't have the statement.
1324
01:12:48,615 --> 01:12:51,493
Oh come now, this is the
most important witness.
1325
01:12:51,702 --> 01:12:53,745
Surely you have his statement?
1326
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:56,999
I...
1327
01:12:57,207 --> 01:12:59,001
Just can't find it in the records.
1328
01:13:02,796 --> 01:13:04,965
Mr. Coroner, this is an offense
1329
01:13:05,173 --> 01:13:07,593
that amounts to criminal negligence.
1330
01:13:10,387 --> 01:13:12,222
What are they trying to hide?
1331
01:13:13,473 --> 01:13:14,850
Take it easy, counsel.
1332
01:13:15,058 --> 01:13:17,978
If the statement's been
lost, it's just been lost.
1333
01:13:18,186 --> 01:13:21,440
The witness is here, he
can tell his story anyway.
1334
01:13:21,648 --> 01:13:23,942
For all the good the
investigating officer's done,
1335
01:13:24,151 --> 01:13:26,820
I'm surprised he didn't lose himself.
1336
01:13:29,656 --> 01:13:31,575
That's all.
1337
01:13:31,783 --> 01:13:34,328
I don't want to waste the Coroner's time
1338
01:13:35,871 --> 01:13:37,456
with a liar.
1339
01:13:41,877 --> 01:13:45,756
Yes sir, 13 years with
the sanitation department.
1340
01:13:45,964 --> 01:13:47,466
13 years?
1341
01:13:48,675 --> 01:13:51,386
Mr. Watkins, you testify that you were
1342
01:13:51,595 --> 01:13:54,598
driving your truck on the day in question.
1343
01:13:54,806 --> 01:13:56,366
And that you actually worked the street
1344
01:13:56,516 --> 01:13:59,061
on which the incident took place.
1345
01:13:59,269 --> 01:14:00,604
Is that right?
1346
01:14:00,812 --> 01:14:02,856
Yes sir.
1347
01:14:03,065 --> 01:14:06,652
Now then, did you see the shooting?
1348
01:14:06,860 --> 01:14:08,195
No sir.
1349
01:14:08,403 --> 01:14:10,781
Wait a minute, we know the policemen
1350
01:14:10,989 --> 01:14:12,342
ran into the street and fired their
1351
01:14:12,366 --> 01:14:14,201
guns right in front of you.
1352
01:14:14,409 --> 01:14:17,162
Are you trying to tell
me you didn't see them?
1353
01:14:17,371 --> 01:14:19,748
Well, I just wasn't looking out.
1354
01:14:19,957 --> 01:14:20,958
What were you doing?
1355
01:14:21,166 --> 01:14:24,836
As a matter of fact, I
was reading my daily report.
1356
01:14:25,045 --> 01:14:26,463
Your daily report?
1357
01:14:26,672 --> 01:14:29,132
My daily report.
1358
01:14:29,341 --> 01:14:30,568
You were so conscientious that you
1359
01:14:30,592 --> 01:14:32,260
studied this report and kept studying it
1360
01:14:32,469 --> 01:14:34,805
while all hell was
breaking loose around you?
1361
01:14:35,013 --> 01:14:37,724
I just wasn't, you know,
I didn't see nothing.
1362
01:14:37,933 --> 01:14:39,893
What did you hear?
1363
01:14:40,102 --> 01:14:41,102
Nothing.
1364
01:14:41,186 --> 01:14:42,205
The garbage machine was making
1365
01:14:42,229 --> 01:14:44,398
so much noise I couldn't hear anything.
1366
01:14:45,774 --> 01:14:47,943
Well, that helps.
1367
01:14:48,151 --> 01:14:49,820
It does?
1368
01:14:50,028 --> 01:14:52,072
Okay Mr. Watkins,
you didn't see anything
1369
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:54,783
and you didn't hear
anything, and if I'm to judge
1370
01:14:54,992 --> 01:14:58,996
by what's gone on before, you
aren't going to say anything.
1371
01:14:59,204 --> 01:15:00,747
That's right.
1372
01:15:05,627 --> 01:15:08,964
You watch Mr. Fred,
you just watch him, huh?
1373
01:15:09,172 --> 01:15:10,465
Watch him tell him.
1374
01:15:10,674 --> 01:15:12,592
Now, Mr. Jenkins, will you tell us
1375
01:15:12,801 --> 01:15:16,263
in your own words what
you know of this case?
1376
01:15:20,100 --> 01:15:22,144
I don't know nothing.
1377
01:15:22,352 --> 01:15:24,021
Oh, Mr. Fred.
1378
01:15:24,229 --> 01:15:26,064
Earl, you hear that?
1379
01:15:26,273 --> 01:15:27,524
That's wrong, Mr. Fred.
1380
01:15:27,733 --> 01:15:29,651
Shh.
1381
01:15:29,860 --> 01:15:31,820
You didn't see this?
1382
01:15:33,447 --> 01:15:35,532
No I didn't see it.
1383
01:15:36,700 --> 01:15:37,325
How could I?
1384
01:15:37,534 --> 01:15:39,786
I was busy working in my store.
1385
01:15:40,912 --> 01:15:44,291
Was the Hamilton boy in your
store before the shooting?
1386
01:15:45,834 --> 01:15:47,753
No.
1387
01:15:47,961 --> 01:15:49,337
He wasn't in my store.
1388
01:15:49,546 --> 01:15:51,423
Wasn't nobody in my store.
1389
01:15:53,550 --> 01:15:57,304
Wait, how can you say that?
1390
01:15:57,512 --> 01:15:58,847
Quiet out there.
1391
01:15:59,056 --> 01:16:01,433
That's right, Mr. Fred, you lying!
1392
01:16:02,684 --> 01:16:04,770
You're lying.
1393
01:16:04,978 --> 01:16:07,522
Fred, you're sitting up
there and you're lying!
1394
01:16:07,731 --> 01:16:09,024
Now just a minute.
1395
01:16:09,232 --> 01:16:10,734
What'd they do to you, Fred?
1396
01:16:11,777 --> 01:16:13,320
They beat you up?
1397
01:16:14,780 --> 01:16:18,325
20 years we been friends
and now you do this to me!
1398
01:16:18,533 --> 01:16:19,993
You sit down or I'm going to have
1399
01:16:20,202 --> 01:16:22,329
you removed from this room.
1400
01:16:22,537 --> 01:16:24,247
I never hurt you, Fred!
1401
01:16:25,373 --> 01:16:27,751
Cornbread never hurt you!
1402
01:16:27,959 --> 01:16:29,020
He just trusted and believed in y--
1403
01:16:29,044 --> 01:16:31,379
Marshall, remove that man.
1404
01:16:34,341 --> 01:16:36,968
Me, Leona, and Cornbread.
1405
01:16:37,177 --> 01:16:39,554
We've always done what's right,
1406
01:16:39,763 --> 01:16:41,139
so then they go and kill my boy
1407
01:16:41,348 --> 01:16:44,017
for drinking a bottle of soda
and running down the street.
1408
01:16:44,226 --> 01:16:45,560
That's what they killed him for!
1409
01:16:45,769 --> 01:16:46,871
Sam, I know you're upset, but--
1410
01:16:46,895 --> 01:16:48,438
Move along now.
1411
01:16:50,065 --> 01:16:51,733
Let's not get excited here.
1412
01:16:51,942 --> 01:16:54,903
You tell me not to get excited?
1413
01:16:55,112 --> 01:16:56,780
You killed my boy!
1414
01:16:58,490 --> 01:17:00,158
You and him!
1415
01:17:01,785 --> 01:17:03,705
What'd he do that you'd
up and shoot him so fast?
1416
01:17:03,829 --> 01:17:04,871
Look, Mr. Hamilton, I--
1417
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:07,666
Would you have shot him if he was white?
1418
01:17:07,874 --> 01:17:09,835
I'm talking to you!
1419
01:17:10,043 --> 01:17:11,923
Would you have killed him
if he was a white boy?
1420
01:17:12,003 --> 01:17:13,421
Sam!
1421
01:17:14,881 --> 01:17:16,758
Sam.
1422
01:17:16,967 --> 01:17:17,551
I'll take him out--
1423
01:17:17,759 --> 01:17:19,261
Hold it!
1424
01:17:32,858 --> 01:17:35,402
It was his son, Mr. Coroner.
1425
01:17:35,610 --> 01:17:37,737
I think he ought to be allowed to stay.
1426
01:17:38,613 --> 01:17:42,450
Sergeant Danaher,
who's your next witness?
1427
01:17:44,578 --> 01:17:47,747
I guess that would be
the boy, Earl Carter.
1428
01:17:49,875 --> 01:17:53,003
Judge, your honor,
this here is my boy Earl
1429
01:17:53,211 --> 01:17:54,838
and I brought him here today.
1430
01:17:55,046 --> 01:17:56,381
Would you sit down?
1431
01:17:56,590 --> 01:17:58,592
But Mr. Judge.
1432
01:17:58,800 --> 01:17:59,509
Judge, your honor--
1433
01:18:01,136 --> 01:18:04,848
One more word, and
I'll have you thrown out.
1434
01:18:05,056 --> 01:18:08,476
Now I don't want to hear any
more outbreaks from anybody!
1435
01:18:09,436 --> 01:18:11,479
That should be pretty clear.
1436
01:18:13,773 --> 01:18:15,734
All right boy, come on up here.
1437
01:18:33,501 --> 01:18:35,420
Now, son.
1438
01:18:38,340 --> 01:18:40,967
Before I swear you in,
do you go to school?
1439
01:18:42,427 --> 01:18:43,845
Do you know the difference between
1440
01:18:44,054 --> 01:18:46,097
telling the truth and a lie?
1441
01:18:47,599 --> 01:18:48,975
I, I--
1442
01:18:49,184 --> 01:18:50,685
Come on Earl, man!
1443
01:18:50,894 --> 01:18:52,979
Come on, don't be afraid.
1444
01:18:53,188 --> 01:18:54,814
Can't you talk?
1445
01:18:58,985 --> 01:19:00,487
Just a minute, Mr. Coroner.
1446
01:19:00,695 --> 01:19:01,988
You're frightening the boy.
1447
01:19:02,197 --> 01:19:02,989
Maybe if you didn't shout at him.
1448
01:19:03,198 --> 01:19:05,078
Now now, counsel, if
he's telling us the truth
1449
01:19:05,242 --> 01:19:06,952
he hasn't got anything to be afraid of,
1450
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:10,288
but if he is lying to us then
he ought to be frightened.
1451
01:19:13,166 --> 01:19:15,502
Now, are you gonna answer me or not?
1452
01:19:18,004 --> 01:19:19,297
Just come on, Earl.
1453
01:19:19,506 --> 01:19:21,258
Say something!
1454
01:19:25,095 --> 01:19:27,055
Judge, your honor, when
he was a real little boy
1455
01:19:27,180 --> 01:19:30,016
and got scared, he used
to do the same thing.
1456
01:19:30,225 --> 01:19:31,893
I thought I told you to sit down.
1457
01:19:32,102 --> 01:19:33,102
But that's my son.
1458
01:19:33,144 --> 01:19:35,021
And he don't know nothing.
1459
01:19:35,230 --> 01:19:35,939
There's no need in asking him
1460
01:19:36,147 --> 01:19:38,608
because he ain't going to say nothing.
1461
01:19:38,817 --> 01:19:40,527
I told the police.
1462
01:19:40,735 --> 01:19:42,362
He don't know nothing about nothing.
1463
01:19:42,570 --> 01:19:44,072
Well why didn't you just say so.
1464
01:19:44,281 --> 01:19:46,908
Sergeant, did you get a
statement from this boy?
1465
01:19:47,117 --> 01:19:48,117
No sir.
1466
01:19:48,201 --> 01:19:49,619
He wouldn't say a single word.
1467
01:19:49,828 --> 01:19:51,013
I'm not surprised, you probably
1468
01:19:51,037 --> 01:19:53,456
tried to shake his brains loose!
1469
01:19:53,665 --> 01:19:55,625
Mr. Coroner, the counsel's insulting me
1470
01:19:55,834 --> 01:19:58,003
and the whole police department.
1471
01:19:58,211 --> 01:20:00,839
All right, all right!
1472
01:20:01,047 --> 01:20:03,883
I'm sick of these arguments.
1473
01:20:04,092 --> 01:20:05,552
Counsel, I don't know where you find
1474
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:07,804
your witnesses, but this is the third one
1475
01:20:08,013 --> 01:20:11,099
we've had up here who doesn't
know anything about this case!
1476
01:20:11,308 --> 01:20:14,769
Mr. Coroner, these
witnesses were intimidated.
1477
01:20:14,978 --> 01:20:16,855
If they were allowed to testify freely,
1478
01:20:17,063 --> 01:20:17,856
they would have told you that
1479
01:20:18,064 --> 01:20:20,984
Nathaniel Hamilton was
at that grocery store.
1480
01:20:22,193 --> 01:20:24,487
It's the same old story, Mr. Coroner.
1481
01:20:25,989 --> 01:20:27,490
The administration coverup.
1482
01:20:27,699 --> 01:20:30,618
Counsel, don't make
charges you can't prove.
1483
01:20:30,827 --> 01:20:31,987
Mr. Coroner, we don't think
1484
01:20:32,078 --> 01:20:35,081
this shooting was done maliciously.
1485
01:20:35,290 --> 01:20:38,418
We believe it was an accident.
1486
01:20:38,626 --> 01:20:41,254
A case of mistaken identity.
1487
01:20:41,463 --> 01:20:44,007
But the police won't have it that way.
1488
01:20:44,215 --> 01:20:46,843
I don't know why they're
afraid of the truth.
1489
01:20:47,052 --> 01:20:49,679
I wish you would stick to the facts.
1490
01:20:59,773 --> 01:21:02,984
You did see them shoot
Cornbread, didn't you?
1491
01:21:03,193 --> 01:21:04,611
Didn't you?
1492
01:21:30,303 --> 01:21:32,180
Never mind, Mr. Coroner.
1493
01:21:34,724 --> 01:21:35,951
I don't want to hurt this child any more
1494
01:21:35,975 --> 01:21:38,019
than he's been hurt already.
1495
01:21:40,522 --> 01:21:41,981
They've got no case.
1496
01:21:42,190 --> 01:21:46,194
Will Wilford
Robinson please come forward?
1497
01:21:46,403 --> 01:21:48,113
They got to him, too.
1498
01:21:50,532 --> 01:21:52,283
Wilford Robinson?
1499
01:21:53,993 --> 01:21:54,452
Wilford.
1500
01:21:54,661 --> 01:21:56,204
Yes, mama?
1501
01:21:58,164 --> 01:22:01,292
You want to do what's
right, and I want you to.
1502
01:22:02,252 --> 01:22:04,462
So I want you to be a man.
1503
01:22:05,547 --> 01:22:09,634
You be a man right now, and from now on
1504
01:22:09,843 --> 01:22:12,220
no matter what happens, you'll be
1505
01:22:12,429 --> 01:22:15,890
a man for the rest of your natural life.
1506
01:22:16,099 --> 01:22:17,976
Wilford Robinson?
1507
01:22:18,184 --> 01:22:19,936
Well is he here or not?
1508
01:22:27,026 --> 01:22:30,989
Now, did you know this
boy Nathaniel Hamilton?
1509
01:22:31,197 --> 01:22:32,197
Yes sir.
1510
01:22:32,282 --> 01:22:33,783
I knew Cornbread all my life, ever
1511
01:22:33,992 --> 01:22:36,911
since I was a real little guy.
1512
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:41,249
On the date in question,
did you see this occurrence?
1513
01:22:48,047 --> 01:22:49,507
Yes sir.
1514
01:22:50,842 --> 01:22:52,427
Where were you?
1515
01:22:52,635 --> 01:22:54,554
In front of the store.
1516
01:22:54,762 --> 01:22:56,806
Which store?
1517
01:22:57,015 --> 01:22:58,683
Mr. Fred's store.
1518
01:22:59,851 --> 01:23:01,144
All right, Wilford.
1519
01:23:01,352 --> 01:23:02,621
Now you go ahead in your own words
1520
01:23:02,645 --> 01:23:04,397
and you tell us what you know.
1521
01:23:04,606 --> 01:23:05,231
Why don't you start at the beginning
1522
01:23:05,440 --> 01:23:08,151
and tell us everything you know.
1523
01:23:08,359 --> 01:23:11,488
Well, it all started when me and Earl
1524
01:23:11,696 --> 01:23:12,840
was watching Cornbread and the
1525
01:23:12,864 --> 01:23:15,825
other big guys play basketball.
1526
01:23:16,034 --> 01:23:17,744
Then it started to rain.
1527
01:23:19,329 --> 01:23:22,790
And then we all ran down
to Mr. Fred's store.
1528
01:23:24,584 --> 01:23:28,213
Mr. Fred, he was mad at having
all those kids in his store,
1529
01:23:29,464 --> 01:23:32,050
so he began yelling and pretty soon
1530
01:23:32,258 --> 01:23:34,719
it was just Cornbread, me, and Earl.
1531
01:23:36,679 --> 01:23:39,474
And then, Cornbread bought us each a pop
1532
01:23:41,142 --> 01:23:44,312
and you know, he was always good to us.
1533
01:23:44,521 --> 01:23:46,314
Then he bought one for himself,
1534
01:23:47,232 --> 01:23:49,150
and then One-Eye came in.
1535
01:23:49,359 --> 01:23:51,359
I beg your
pardon, did you say One-Eye?
1536
01:23:51,528 --> 01:23:53,738
Yes sir, everybody
out there knows One-Eye.
1537
01:23:53,947 --> 01:23:55,240
I see.
1538
01:23:56,074 --> 01:23:58,284
Come on, son.
1539
01:23:58,493 --> 01:24:03,373
Well, then Cornbread said
that he had to get moving,
1540
01:24:03,957 --> 01:24:07,043
so he bought another pop for
himself to drink at home.
1541
01:24:08,920 --> 01:24:10,380
And then we said that he ought
1542
01:24:10,588 --> 01:24:13,341
to wait until it stopped raining.
1543
01:24:15,677 --> 01:24:19,556
But he said no, that
he had to get on home.
1544
01:24:22,642 --> 01:24:24,269
Then,
1545
01:24:24,477 --> 01:24:27,480
me and Earl, we got to arguing,
1546
01:24:28,982 --> 01:24:31,109
we's always arguing,
1547
01:24:31,317 --> 01:24:36,197
as to how fast Cornbread could run home.
1548
01:24:38,741 --> 01:24:41,953
And I said maybe ten seconds.
1549
01:24:42,161 --> 01:24:46,791
And Cornbread laughed and
said no, about 45 seconds.
1550
01:24:48,293 --> 01:24:51,421
And then we made sort of a bet.
1551
01:24:53,006 --> 01:24:56,092
And then me and Earl and Mr. Fred
1552
01:24:56,301 --> 01:25:00,263
and One-Eye went out under
the awning with Cornbread.
1553
01:25:01,723 --> 01:25:05,143
Cornbread took off with his
basketball under one arm,
1554
01:25:05,351 --> 01:25:07,687
and his orange pop in the other hand.
1555
01:25:10,231 --> 01:25:13,610
Boy, you should have seen how he ran.
1556
01:25:14,902 --> 01:25:15,902
When Cornbread ran,
1557
01:25:19,073 --> 01:25:21,701
didn't even look like he was moving.
1558
01:25:22,702 --> 01:25:24,996
He could sure run.
1559
01:25:26,205 --> 01:25:30,168
And boy was he moving.
1560
01:25:30,376 --> 01:25:34,547
And then me and Earl, we gets to counting
1561
01:25:34,756 --> 01:25:37,300
while Cornbread's running, you know?
1562
01:25:37,508 --> 01:25:40,762
And a one, and a two.
1563
01:25:40,970 --> 01:25:43,931
And Cornbread's pumping
away, and it's raining,
1564
01:25:44,140 --> 01:25:46,643
and Cornbread's racing down the block,
1565
01:25:46,851 --> 01:25:51,731
and then those two cops,
they runned into the street.
1566
01:25:52,690 --> 01:25:56,778
And it looks like they yelled something,
1567
01:25:56,986 --> 01:25:59,656
but I couldn't tell what it was
1568
01:25:59,864 --> 01:26:03,451
'cause there was that
garbage truck grinding away.
1569
01:26:03,660 --> 01:26:06,746
Anyhow, those two guys they had
1570
01:26:06,954 --> 01:26:10,083
out their guns and they shoot.
1571
01:26:11,501 --> 01:26:13,461
And they shoot Cornbread.
1572
01:26:16,923 --> 01:26:18,716
Then he was dead.
1573
01:26:24,222 --> 01:26:27,517
They killed Cornbread and
he wasn't doing nothing.
1574
01:26:28,976 --> 01:26:31,896
All he was doing was
he was just going home.
1575
01:26:34,691 --> 01:26:39,654
I don't know who's
lying, but somebody is.
1576
01:26:40,321 --> 01:26:41,739
Kid's gotta be lying.
1577
01:26:41,948 --> 01:26:43,788
Counsel, do
you have any questions?
1578
01:26:43,908 --> 01:26:45,410
Just one.
1579
01:26:50,331 --> 01:26:51,331
Wilford.
1580
01:26:51,374 --> 01:26:52,875
Hm?
1581
01:26:53,084 --> 01:26:56,337
Do you know anything about
Cornbread belonging to a gang?
1582
01:26:57,839 --> 01:26:59,882
No sir.
1583
01:27:00,091 --> 01:27:02,218
He didn't belong to no gang.
1584
01:27:02,427 --> 01:27:03,720
Didn't have to.
1585
01:27:03,928 --> 01:27:08,391
Besides, he was always playing basketball.
1586
01:27:08,599 --> 01:27:12,353
Sometimes at night, when it was quiet,
1587
01:27:13,354 --> 01:27:15,022
I could hear the bamming and bamming of
1588
01:27:15,231 --> 01:27:18,860
that basketball right up
against that backboard.
1589
01:27:19,068 --> 01:27:21,487
And I knew it was Cornbread,
1590
01:27:21,696 --> 01:27:23,948
'cause it couldn't be nobody else.
1591
01:27:25,491 --> 01:27:30,413
Yep, and that bam bam bam
put me right to sleep.
1592
01:27:32,790 --> 01:27:34,125
No sir.
1593
01:27:34,333 --> 01:27:38,004
He didn't belong in no
gangs, not Cornbread.
1594
01:27:41,299 --> 01:27:42,091
It took a lot of courage for you
1595
01:27:42,300 --> 01:27:44,218
to come here this afternoon.
1596
01:27:45,636 --> 01:27:47,388
I'm proud of you, son.
1597
01:27:48,806 --> 01:27:50,349
Thank you.
1598
01:28:11,162 --> 01:28:13,289
Officers Golich and Atkins.
1599
01:28:15,833 --> 01:28:17,084
Yes sir?
1600
01:28:17,293 --> 01:28:18,437
You were both there and you both
1601
01:28:18,461 --> 01:28:22,131
fired at the deceased, is that right?
1602
01:28:22,340 --> 01:28:23,758
Yes sir.
1603
01:28:23,966 --> 01:28:27,261
Okay, well one of you can
testify for the two of you.
1604
01:28:31,098 --> 01:28:33,184
Officer Atkins.
1605
01:28:33,392 --> 01:28:35,019
Let's have you up here.
1606
01:28:47,698 --> 01:28:49,742
It's late and I don't want
to waste any more time.
1607
01:28:49,951 --> 01:28:53,412
Now you heard the testimony
of the investigating officer.
1608
01:28:53,621 --> 01:28:55,748
Yes sir I did.
1609
01:28:55,957 --> 01:28:58,000
Do you concur with his testimony?
1610
01:29:00,336 --> 01:29:01,879
Well sir, I...
1611
01:29:17,979 --> 01:29:21,566
Officer, I'm waiting for an answer.
1612
01:29:21,774 --> 01:29:23,192
Larry!
1613
01:29:25,194 --> 01:29:26,445
Don't.
1614
01:29:26,654 --> 01:29:29,240
Rotten bastards, why
don't they get it over with?
1615
01:29:29,448 --> 01:29:33,578
Well you see sir, what we
wrote in that report is correct.
1616
01:29:33,786 --> 01:29:35,371
We were pursuing the suspect,
1617
01:29:35,580 --> 01:29:38,875
and we did utilize
standard police procedures.
1618
01:29:39,083 --> 01:29:40,960
Officer, you're trying my patience.
1619
01:29:41,168 --> 01:29:42,408
There's no need to repeat to me
1620
01:29:42,503 --> 01:29:43,921
what's already in the report.
1621
01:29:44,130 --> 01:29:46,299
Yes sir, I understand that.
1622
01:29:46,507 --> 01:29:49,802
Now I've been listening to
the testimony here today,
1623
01:29:51,012 --> 01:29:53,723
especially the testimony
1624
01:29:53,931 --> 01:29:55,474
of that little boy.
1625
01:29:57,059 --> 01:29:59,228
And I have to say that
1626
01:29:59,437 --> 01:30:01,188
I think he's telling the truth.
1627
01:30:02,315 --> 01:30:04,358
Just a minute, Atkins.
1628
01:30:04,567 --> 01:30:08,738
Officer, you realize what you're saying?
1629
01:30:09,864 --> 01:30:10,864
Yes sir, I do.
1630
01:30:10,907 --> 01:30:13,910
I realize that what I am saying is that
1631
01:30:14,118 --> 01:30:16,704
if that kid is telling the truth,
1632
01:30:17,747 --> 01:30:19,498
and I think that he is,
1633
01:30:22,168 --> 01:30:24,503
then God forgive us because
1634
01:30:26,255 --> 01:30:28,382
we must have shot the wrong man.
1635
01:30:34,430 --> 01:30:37,141
There must be some mistake, Mr. Coroner.
1636
01:30:38,225 --> 01:30:39,665
This officer has signed a statement.
1637
01:30:39,810 --> 01:30:42,188
We have it on file in our records.
1638
01:30:43,314 --> 01:30:45,107
I've heard enough.
1639
01:30:45,316 --> 01:30:47,026
This hearing is closed.
1640
01:30:55,451 --> 01:30:56,535
Thank you.
1641
01:30:56,744 --> 01:30:58,746
It was a privilege to represent you.
1642
01:31:01,749 --> 01:31:03,101
You aren't gonna believe that crap,
1643
01:31:03,125 --> 01:31:04,669
are you Mr. Coroner?
1644
01:31:06,253 --> 01:31:09,298
You've had it, Sergeant.
1645
01:31:09,507 --> 01:31:12,760
The next person they're going
to be investigating is you.
1646
01:31:41,414 --> 01:31:43,290
Hey you lousy bastard!
1647
01:31:43,499 --> 01:31:44,939
20 years on the force, you think I'm
1648
01:31:45,042 --> 01:31:47,044
gonna let a chickenshit
cop screw me up, huh?
1649
01:31:47,253 --> 01:31:48,254
Hey look out, Danaher.
1650
01:31:48,462 --> 01:31:48,838
Lay off!
1651
01:31:49,046 --> 01:31:49,839
You lousy bastard!
1652
01:31:50,047 --> 01:31:51,882
Look, I don't want to hurt you, man.
1653
01:31:53,259 --> 01:31:55,219
Why didn't you do something, Golich?
1654
01:32:03,269 --> 01:32:05,146
Let's get the hell out of here.
1655
01:32:23,581 --> 01:32:26,208
Hey Earl, come on over!
1656
01:32:27,334 --> 01:32:30,212
Come on, shoot some baskets with me.
1657
01:32:30,421 --> 01:32:31,881
You mean you ain't mad?
1658
01:32:32,089 --> 01:32:33,591
Heck no I ain't mad!
1659
01:32:33,799 --> 01:32:36,635
After all, we blood brothers, ain't we?
1660
01:32:36,844 --> 01:32:38,304
Yeah.
1661
01:32:38,512 --> 01:32:40,139
Here, take a shot.
1662
01:32:44,060 --> 01:32:46,562
Oh no, Earl, that's not the way.
1663
01:32:46,771 --> 01:32:48,731
Let me show you what
Cornbread showed me, okay?
1664
01:32:48,939 --> 01:32:49,648
Okay.
1665
01:32:49,857 --> 01:32:52,860
Now, Cornbread said that you
1666
01:32:53,069 --> 01:32:54,945
gotta hold the ball on your fingertips.
1667
01:32:55,154 --> 01:32:55,863
Yeah?
1668
01:32:56,072 --> 01:32:57,239
Nice and light.
1669
01:32:57,448 --> 01:32:57,865
Yeah.
1670
01:32:58,074 --> 01:32:59,784
Now, when you know you got the touch,
1671
01:32:59,992 --> 01:33:01,952
and you got the feel,
1672
01:33:02,161 --> 01:33:02,953
you let it fly!
1673
01:33:03,162 --> 01:33:04,455
Okay.
1674
01:33:06,832 --> 01:33:08,250
Yeah, that's it, Earl!
1675
01:33:08,459 --> 01:33:11,378
