[laughing]

[female #1]
'Here's to big Bertha
and her big old..'

[female #2]
'Oh, she was something else!'

You best keep
it down before

Miss Marion hears y'all.

She gonna kick us all out.

Sadie, honey,
Miss Marion's not hearing nobody

when she done drunk
a whole jug of hooch herself.

[laughing]

[female #3]
'Don't you talk
mean about my mama.'

Who do you think
you sassing, girl?

Can I have a nip?

Your mama gonna
have a fit she catch you up.

I'll tuck you in in a shake.

Sadie, you said you was
going to the juke joint.

- Mm-hmm.
- Uh-uh.

Not tonight.

Well, honey,
my candyman pay me plenty

but I still
got to work tonight.

Candyman give
you candy, Miss Blanche?

You wanna call
it that, honey.

Go on to bed.

Go on.

Arletta make you think on your
own little girl, huh, Sadie?

Where you say your girl stay at?

Virginia.

'She with my cousin.'

I bring her up
when I get the money saved.

Blanche, Manross is waitin'.

Miss Blanche,
Miss Sadie.

Go, Manross, go.

Wait proper-like.

Candyman lookin' mighty fine.

I thought you said
you was working tonight.

I am, honey.

[Sarah]
'When my mother
passed away a few weeks ago'

'I found this letter among
her belongings hidden away.'

It's the last letter that my
grandmother ever wrote to her.

When was your
grandmother murdered?

1939.

Her name was Sadie Douglas.

Came from Virginia.

Moved north to find
work in the '30s.

I don't know
much more than that.

Your mom didn't talk about her?

She was only ten-years-old
when Sadie was killed

and she never really
forgave her for what she was.

Which was what?

The police called her
a common two-bit hooker.

My mother referred to her
as a white man's whore.

It was hard for her,
knowing that that's

where she came from.

How about you?

Maybe it's affected
me somewhat too.

These letters you
have are from 1939?

Sadie wrote one
to her every week.

Look, I know
I'm asking a lot, but..

...Sadie mentioned
someone here.

"He best not hurt me.

"That milkman best not
hurt your mama."

What milkman?

I don't know.

She never referred to him
in her other letters.

Back then,
the police said

Sadie was a prostitute

killed randomly by a john, but..

...I think my grandmother
knew her killer.

[theme music]

[male #1]
'Homicides..'

...uh, assaults, rapes, and..

...basically every
criminal record

before 1950 is filed here.

County even sticks us with
their medical charts too.

We need homicides.

Right down there.

I thought you said
they were filed.

[chuckles]
They were at once.

I mean, what's the point?

Doers are probably
dust in the wind.

Thanks. Don't wanna waste
anymore of your precious time.

Or cut into
your web-surfing activities.

[Lilly]
"1920, White woman stabbed.

"Suspect, White male with.."

Get this..

"Slender build
and black whiskers."

"1918..

"...1910.."

"'05."

It's a murder ledger, Scotty.

'Goin' all
the way back to..'

..1903.

100 years of murder and mayhem.

All in a you-stash-it
off the highway.

Yo.

I found Sadie.

[instrumental music]

I had to put 'em in plastic.

They were fallin'
apart in our hands.

"Sadie Douglas.
Colored female.

"Nativity, Virginia.

"Occupation, prostitute."

Resided at a boarding house
for colored women.

Proprietor was
a Miss Thea Marion.

[Scotty]
'Women in the boarding
house were all hookers.'

"Sadie was raped and suffocated

"at the hands of
an unknown assailant."

Maybe our milkman.

A ticket for New York City
dated the night of the murder

found in
the victim's belongings.

Sadie's daughter
was living in Virginia.

So why is she goin' to New York?

Last to see her was another
tenant at the boarding house

"colored female, 26.

"Blanche D."

The rest of her
name is missing.

You find Blanche
maybe we find out why

Sadie was going to New York.

[chuckles]

Like the geezer's
gonna remember.

You and Mr. Sensitivity
track down the milk companies

that delivered
to Sadie's boarding house.

Rush and Valens will
be on geezer patrol.

Looks like she fought back.

Something under her nails?

[John]
'Back then it didn't matter.'

It does now.

So if the family
gives the green light..

...maybe we dig her up?

[John]
'Yep. Go talk to
her granddaughter.'

An exhumation?
Is that really necessary?

[Lilly]
'She may have fought
her killer, Sarah.'

We might get something useful.

Match the DNA to the doer
or his descendants

if either's in the system.

Alright.

I'll sign whatever
papers you need.

Last to see
your grandmother alive

was a woman named Blanche.

You recall that name
in any of her letters?

Blanche..

...Sadie wrote about a fair
she went to with a Blanche.

That's them.

"I had my first
cotton candy today.

"Like eating sugar
from a cloud."

[Sadie]
"First thing you come
up, I'm gonna get you

"your own cotton candy, baby."

We're gonna
be so happy together.

Your mama misses you

like, like dry land for rain.

"Love, mama."

She sent that photo
with this letter.

Could I take this
and the letters?

Will you bring them back?

They're all I have left of her.

[dramatic music]

Thing's making me seasick.

At least I got my roll on.

You can't even do yours.

[Will]
'Stop.'

Damn thing's gonna explode.

Good Lord.

Looks like
a Baylor's Milk Company

delivered to North
15th Street through the 1930s.

Where Sadie's
boarding house was.

Yeah. Board of revenue's
got Baylor's employee records

'1930 to 1938.'

But nothing for 1939.

So why is that year missing?

"Fire. January 1939."

Company stopped keeping
records after that.

Fire must've really
wiped them out.

They went out of business
a year later.

If this fire cost lives,
newspapers would have

carried accounts, right?

Yeah.

So maybe our milkman's

in one of those newspapers?

Are we sure this place

got prostitution arrests
before 1950?

[Rush]
'Hookers, homicides,
the works.'

If Blanche got picked up,
we'll find her here.

Wonder where she is now.

Wherever hookers who
make it to 91 end up.

Let's hope it ain't
hooker heaven.

"Debbins, Blanche."

This our girl?

Oh..

She's a dead-ringer
for this Blanche.

"Arrested for
prostitution in 1940."

"Delaney Manross
paid for her bail.

Manross Delaney?

The candyman?

Delaney's Delights?

You never had
a Delaney Delight?

No.

Guy's got a candy franchise,
been rakin' it in forever.

Maybe our hooker's
moved up in the world, huh?

[instrumental music]

Blanche Debbins?

I ain't used
that name in decades.

What do you want, honey?

Philadelphia Homicide,
Miss Blanche.

And the police too.

Make me feel young again.

Honey, Manross.

[Manross]
'I'm watching
my talk show, honey!'

Well turn it off, honey.

We got guests.

'That was
the Depression, honey.'

Times were hard all over

especially for colored women
comin' up alone from the south.

You did what you could
to make ends meet.

Today's young people
don't understand.

Y'all help yourself.

Try my number nine.

He gets on his high
horse sometimes.

Don't mind him.
That's what I do.

Isn't that right, candyman?

Day she called me candyman,
I fell head over heels.

Been fallin' for her ever since.

You know anything about
a trip Sadie was takin'

to New York, Miss Blanche,
the night she was killed?

She told us she
was going to bed..

...not to New York.

Well, did Sadie
ever mention anyone

maybe a milkman
she was afraid of?

That rebby boy.

What's his name?

Southern rebel wannabe.

Wasn't more than
northern White trash.

What was his name?

I don't recall, honey.

Pierce. That was his name.

He had burns
all over his face.

I'm tellin' the story, honey.

He had burns all over his face,
had it out for Sadie too.

All because
of that damn milk.

[jazz music]

I ain't gettin' out.

Not for no
colored whorehouse.

Let 'em get their
own damn milk.

[Jonesy]
'Oh, here comes another one.'

'Looks almost White, don't she?'

[hooting]

[Pierce]
'Come and get it!'

Who that cooze
think she is, huh?

- Hey, dump it.
- Huh?

I said dump it, Jonesy.

[jazz music]

[chuckles]

Let her clean it up.

Don't.

Sadie turned and walked
right back into the house

and left that milk
out in the street.

That other milkman
wasn't no better.

Didn't I say
I'm telling the story?

This, uh, Pierce
cause any other trouble?

Not that Sadie mentioned.

I avoided him
and his milk truck after that.

But Sadie was afraid
he might hurt her.

Wrote about him in
a letter to her daughter.

[scoffs]

Honey, Sadie
couldn't read or write.

'None of us could back then.'

But she sent letters
to her daughter.

- Lots of them.
- 'Well..'

She might have sent them..

...but she sure
didn't write them.

So who wrote
Sadie's letters?

No one in the house
could read or write.

A john maybe?

Whoever it was, might've known

more about the milkman.

Well, if the milkman
was this guy Pierce

then we might have the answer.

Newspaper from 1939.

Pierce McClintock
listed as a burn victim

in the Baylor's Milk Company
fire.

[Lilly]
'The same company delivered
milk to Sadie's boarding house.'

Yep. Fire was set
by pissed off White workers

'when the company hired Blacks.'

Killed ten, injured
five more, including Pierce.

But lucky for us,
newspapers back then

printed the victims' addresses.

[Nick]
"6922 North, 5th Street."

We just gotta pray
that Pierce is still there.

'Well, yeah.'

And I'll throw in a hail Mary

if we find
who wrote this letter.

- So this is from 1939, huh?
- 'Interesting?'

'Well, you can tell from
someone's' handwriting'

'who they are?'

No. Gender, age

personality type,
region of origin.

Pretty much, yeah.

How?

See these looped letters?

Curved forms combined
with medium pressure

are usually indicators
of femininity.

Writer was female?

Eh, best guess.

Kinda KO's our theory
of a john as the writer.

So who the hell
wrote this letter?

Give me a few hours,
I'll have an answer for you.

What's that tell you?

Ah. Firm.

'Logical..'

Running from something?

[Will]
'So your grandfather
Pierce McClintock'

owned this house?

He passed away ten years ago.

I inherited the house from him.

I can't understand what he has
to do with this woman's murder.

Well, we don't
know either, Ms. Reilly.

That's why we're here.

He was a good man,
my grandfather.

Not a murderer.

So you'd agree to volunteer
your DNA to prove that?

I don't need to prove
that to anyone.

We can get a search warrant.

For what,
an old man's knickknacks?

A dead man's diary?

Pierce kept a diary?

After the fire at Baylor's Milk,
Pierce refers to something

called The Fifth Day
in his diary.

[Rush]
'The Fifth Day?'

Mentioned it
a bunch of times.

Don't you dare put
that in your mouth.

[Scotty]
'I like Cheez Whiz on
my cheesesteak. So what?'

[Nick]
'Fifth Day sounds like'

some sort of group
Pierce started.

Guys from the milk place
injured in the fire.

What'd they do?

Doesn't say
but check that entry out.

"May 1939.

"Pierce's milk
bottle war with Sadie."

'He writes about it.'

That thing Blanche
told us about?

The aftermath.

"Delivered to that colored's
boarding house today

"and that flooze just left them
bottles out on the street."

[Pierce]
'Dammit.'

She didn't even pick 'em up.

Look at that coon, will ya?

'Standing there like
she runs the joint.'

Fifth Day oughta
teach her a lesson.

Fifth Day is right. Take that
gleam outta that quiff's eye.

'Go on, Jonesy.
You show her.'

Here's your milk.

So maybe Jonesy was
our evil milkman and not Pierce.

No Jonesy listed as
a victim in the fire.

But all them Fifth Day guys got
messed up in the fire, right?

So how'd Jonesy
get involved with 'em?

And what's he mean by The Fifth
Day oughta teach her a lesson?

Maybe that's what
their little club did.

'Teach lessons
to women like Sadie.'

Let's check criminal records
for Pierce McClintock.

Maybe his Fifth Day
activities made the books.

Any word on the city
okaying the exhumation?

Hmm..

Kite's been in court all day.

So ask him tonight.

Or tomorrow.

I've called you three
times about this exhumation.

Closing arguments on
the Wicker job.

Besides, you've ignored
a few of my calls lately too.

Been busy.

Well, there you go.
We're both busy.

Anyway, we got direction
on this job--

From '39.

So?

So it's hard to make a case

that the exhumation is pressing,
you know what I mean?

Maybe the judge should meet
the victim's granddaughter.

It's pressing to her.

Look, Fisk hasn't gotten to it

but I'm guessing you'll
need more probable cause.

City's strapped for cash.

And this granddaughter
wants answers.

Don't we all?

- How're the cats, anyway?
- 'Good.'

[telephone ringing]

Call me.

When you hear from Fisk, I mean.

Sure.

[Scotty]
'Get anything
in criminal records?'

Long rap sheet on Pierce.

Assaults on males
and females, all Black.

Victims claimed they were
attacked by a group

of young White males.

African American History Museum

had a listing
of hate groups in '39.

They list The Fifth Day
as one in Philly.

White supremacists.

Took their name
from the Fifth Day of Creation.

"God said, Let us make man
in our image

"and let him rule
over all the Earth."

Meaning the White man of course.

Mission was
to terrorize Blacks

comin' up from the south
looking for jobs.

Every fifth day
they'd go on a rampage.

Beat up some Black person
for the crime of being alive.

Murder part of their game?

Could be. Check it out.

The Fifth Day.

Meet Pierce, and
our friend Jonesy.

Jonesy don't look burned.

Could have 'em where
the sun don't shine.

Museum didn't have
last names on these clowns.

ID'd 'em here only by their
monikers or first name.

[Nick]
'We'll keep looking.'

Lilly's still with the ADA?

Our handwriting
expert came back

'With a profile
of the letter writer.'

It was a kid.

The only child
in the boarding house

was the owner's daughter.

Ten-years-old
at the time of the murder.

I'll go pick up Lill.

This was
Miss Sadie's favorite room.

My mother took in boarders
during the Depression.

I hear this place
is a bed and breakfast now?

Owners say it was okay
for us to come in.

'Bring you back
to your old home.'

I'm glad no one tore it down.

Did you write
Sadie's letters here?

I wrote them, yes.

But the words were hers.

'Her baby girl meant
the whole world to her.'

Do you remember writing about
a milkman who might hurt Sadie?

Jonesy.

I remember him well.

Why?

Because of what
Sadie found in the milk.

[Pierce hooting]

[Pierce]
'Show her who's boss.'

Here's your milk.

♪ Oh oh ♪

♪ Yeah.. ♪

Nothin' but poor
White milkman trash.

Who he think he is?
Trashy ol'..

[mellow music]

Poor White milkman trash
left a note, Miss Sadie.

Shush, girl.

What's this say?

He says "forgive me."

Crazy White trash.

He sayin' he's sorry.

I still say he trash.

That ain't nothin'
but tinder for the fire.

Go on, Arletta.
Throw it in.

Wait.

Write somethin' for me.

Those notes went
on and on for months

'right till she died.'

Why did she think
Jonesy would hurt her?

I think it was
her heart she meant.

Did they exchange notes
the day she was killed?

Jonesy wanted her
to meet him here that night.

For a proper visit.

Miss Sadie kept
each and every note.

Hid 'em behind the stove
where no one would look.

No one ever found 'em.

- Why not?
- Because I took 'em.

Still have 'em too.

"I was raised
by other people, Sadie.

"Don't even know my own folks."

Jonesy was an orphan?

Maybe check the children's homes
in the area, look for his name.

Mm-hmm.

"I'll care for
your little girl

"even if she ain't my own

"'cause she's like me.

"Every child deserves
to be loved."

He wanted to make
a life with her.

And take her kid in too.

A real 180 from The Fifth Day.

So was Sadie killed
by the man who hated her

or the man who loved her?

Pierce or Jonesy?

Maybe something happened that
night at the boarding house

that turned the tide
of Jonesy's love.

Love can turn on a dime.

[John]
'We know a candyman?'

"Do you love me, Sadie,
or do you love the candyman?"

Blanche's husband.

Blanche and I, we..

...just started dating..

...and I, uh..

...had a little crush on Sadie.

Don't you
do this to me, Manross.

We can talk somewhere else if
that would make it easier.

I was young.

Foolish.

Thought I could have
my cake and eat it too.

Sadie never went for it.

Because she was
involved with Jonesy.

Hmm.

So you knew about the affair.

Not till the night
she was killed.

They hid it well.

You had to back then.

If anyone found out,
one of 'em would be dead.

One of them isdead.

So how'd you find out
the night of Sadie's murder?

We were all supposed
to meet up at the juke joint.

I thought Sadie was gonna be
there but she-she wasn't.

So I went down to
the boarding house to get her.

♪ Did you ever dream lucky ♪

♪ Wake up cold in hand ♪

[Jonesy]
'We got to go tonight, Sadie.'

[Sadie]
'I can't just go.'

[Jonesy]
'But we talked about this.'

[Sadie]
'We was just going to visit.'

'That's what you
said in your note.'

[Jonesy]
'I know, but..'

'...something came up.'

[Sadie]
'What?'

Look..

...you gotta leave
with me right now.

I already got the tickets,
the train leaves in a half-hour.

We go now and we make it, Sadie.

I want to but why's
it gotta be tonight?

[creaking]

What's wrong, Jonesy?

♪ She can't get him
when she.. ♪

I went back to the juke joint.

Never seen her again.

Sadie was asking
for trouble taking up

with that half-blind White boy.

Wait, what do you
mean half-blind?

Couldn't see out of one eye
on account of the fire.

Why didn't you ever tell
anyone what you saw that night?

'Cause I didn't wanna hurt..

...the woman I love.

But I did anyway.

[siren wailing]

Manross volunteered his DNA

fingerprints,
shirt off his back.

You really think
this guy's the doer.

[Scotty]
'You know, sometimes jealousy'

beats out
love and hate, hands down.

[Lilly]
'What I don't get is Jonesy'

was just gonna
visit Sadie that night

but then something happens.

And he's frantic
to get outta town.

Something like what?

Pierce found out
his White supremacist pal

fell in love with a Black woman?

Threatens revenge on 'em both.

Got our milkman.

Nathan Jones.

Just his name,
but it's a start.

Grew up in a boys'
home in Philly.

[Will]
'Ran him through
autotrack, DMV'

'even military records.'

Got a thousand
and one hits back.

Manross said Jonesy
was injured in the fire

went half-blind later.

If he applied for military duty,
he'd have been rejected, right?

Wait a sec.
My-my old man went through this.

- A class 4
- F rejection.

Unacceptable for military duty.

Made him feel like
he had to wear

a dunce cap
back in the day.

So we check Nathan Jones
- with 4
- F records.

[Will]
'Then maybe we finally'

'nail down this
son of a bitch.'

Hey, Rush.

Hi. H-how'd it go?

Judge Fisk KO'd
the motion to exhume.

[sighs]

What?

Not enough probable cause.

[scoffs]

We got.. We've got three
possible doers here, Kite.

Look, it's
an ancient case, okay?

And the bottom line
is cold cash.

'We don't have any to spare.'

Sorry.

[Lilly]
'Sarah?'

Hi. Any news?

I thought, uh,
you might want these.

Notes to Sadie
from the milkman in her letter.

She wasn't afraid of him, Sarah

she was in love with him.

"I'll care for
your little girl

"even if she ain't my own."

He wanted to take care of her,
and your mother.

I wish she had had a chance to
see this, to-to know this.

Your mom?

I'm sorry.

[sighs]

It's okay.

[sighs]

I have some
bad news too, Sarah.

The DA's office didn't
grant the motion to exhume.

But I'm the family,
don't I have a say?

It's not that.

They need more
of a reason to do it.

Solving my grandmother's murder
isn't a good enough reason?

It's complicated.

Financially difficult.

I'll pay for it.

Sarah..

...an exhumation and an autopsy
costs at least $10,000.

[sighs]

I've memorized
all of her letters.

These past
few days, I feel as if

I've come as close to meeting
my grandmother as I ever will.

'I know how she lived.'

But I still need
to know how she died.

Body is in an early stage
of dried mummification..

...soft tissue..

'...desiccated
down to the bone.'

What are the odds on DNA,
Dr. Barnsley?

This is my first
65-year-old cadaver but..

...DNA canlast
hundreds of years.

Well, she fought back,
broke three fingernails.

Maybe the doer
left a souvenir.

The fingers are in advanced
stage of dehydration but..

...I might be able to
collect some scrapings.

Valens.

You're kiddin'.

'Where?'

Alright.

Jeffries and Vera found Jonesy.

He's still alive?

And kickin' it in New York City.

Detectives..

...the index finger
of the right hand..

I think maybe
we've got something.

Maybe Sadie's
speaking from the grave.

Lab's running Pierce's DNA
from his granddaughter.

Manross' too.

$19.50 to take
a train to New York.

That's going on the cheap.

Taking SEPTA
and the New Jersey Transit.

We gotta find an Amtrak
cop on the way back.

Take a free hop on the Acela.

Kite pissed you off, huh,
not fighting for the exhumation?

It wasn't really
his decision though.

Or was it something else
with Kite pissed you off?

I gotta be psychic to
get an answer out of you?

I, uh..

...might have
made a mistake.

[cellphone ringing]

Rush.

Okay.

Thanks, boss.

Manross cleared.

His DNA didn't match with
what was under Sadie's nails.

So candyman ain't our doer.

Gotta admit,
I'm glad for Blanche.

Must be nice knowing
you got someone

to grow old
and useless with.

Yeah, must be.

[doorbell dings]

[Frankie]
'Grandpa? You got visitors.'

We're here about
Sadie Douglas, Mr. Jones.

Sadie.

You remember how she got killed?

Raped, suffocated?

Hey. What are you saying to him?

[Jonesy]
'Never mind.'

Frankie, why don't
you go watch TV?

You didn't finish
your soup, grandpa.

I'm done, Frankie.

Go on.

Yeah.

I remember how she died.

Cops back then
said it was a john.

Oh, no, she wasn't a prostitute.

'She lived in that house
'cause she had to.'

Times were rough back then.

She didn't make her
living hustlin'?

Sadie was a lady.

I gave her some money
from time to time.

Of course
she couldn't tell anybody

where she was getting it from.

Times being what they were.

Yeah.

And you being in love.

[Frankie]
'Who the hell is Sadie?'

You know, her..

...her little girl
ought to know

that her mama was a lady.

[Scotty]
'She's dead.'

Sadie's daughter.

Night of Sadie's murder..

...you wanted her
to leave town with you. Why?

Because they were coming.

[Scotty]
'Who?'

Them.

They were coming.

[Pierce]
'So then, I says to her'

that you may look almost white,
but you is black as midnight.

[laughing]

Jonesy over there
don't think I'm funny.

[male #2]
'Oh, that's 'cause he's givin'
her his mornin' milk.'

Time that bitch got a real
taste of White man's milk.

'Yeah..'

[laughing]

Ain't that right, Jonesy?

- Damn right.
- 'Yeah!'

Fifth Day's rollin',
boys tonight!

[all]
Tonight!

Sadie?

Sadie! Sadie!

I tried to save her
but she wouldn't go.

I begged her
but she wouldn't go.

And I left.

A man loves a woman,
and leaves her to that?

All this was forever ago.
Why you care now?

Because a woman died..

...and a family
wants to know why.

And because what happens
in the past

never really
goes away, does it?

No, it don't.

My grandpa didn't do nothin'.

Would you volunteer your DNA..

'...to prove that?'

We got a sister lab
here in New York.

It'll take a few minutes
to run your DNA.

And we can go right now.

'He'll do it.'
Right, Grandpa?

I'll get your coat.
He didn't do nothin'.

[Lilly]
'We'll settle this whole thing'

in four or five minutes,
Mr. Jones.

Lab's got a process called, uh..

...Electronic DNA Sampling.

EDS for short.

Zaps your DNA
through the Internet.

Compares it with what we found
under Sadie's fingernails.

[Scotty]
'Finds a match.'

Unless you want
to skip the trip

and tell us
what really happened?

If you have
a question, ask it.

Thought I just did.

Come on, grandpa.

[sighs]

I'm ready.

Go ahead and ask your question.

[Scotty]
'What happened..'

...the night Sadie was killed?

You gotta leave with me now.

Look, I already got
the tickets

the train leaves
in half an hour.

We go now,
we can make it, Sadie.

I want to, but why
it gotta be tonight?

[door creaking]

What's wrong, Jonesy?

We gotta go.

- The train to New York is--
- New York?

But my daughter
lives in Virginia.

We'll send for her.

You promised we was gonna
be a family together.

We will, but we gotta go now.

What about her?
What about her, Jonesy?

That's, uh..

That's your daughter?

You promised to care for her
like she was your own, remember?

''Cause every child
deserves lovin'.'

You said..

You, uh..

...never showed
me that before.

Why won't you
look at her, Jonesy?

You and me, we can
make it together

because no one
will know, Sadie.

No one'll know what you are.

You barely look it,
Sadie, and you can pass.

Shut up!

She can't pass but you can.

And-and we can have
a life together

and no one'll ever know.

Shut up!

Because I love you, Sadie.

I love you.

No, you don't.

Just told me so.

[men laughing]

Well, looky at what we got here.

Jonesy's gettin'
a leg up on us, boys.

Ain't you, Jonesy?

[screaming]

[laughing]

[screaming]

No!

Jonesy!

No! Help me!

I said hold her down!

[screaming]

[dramatic music]

Jonsey!

[music continues]

Let her be, Jonesy.

What's wrong with her?

[Pierce]
'Get up!'

Hey, I said get up!

[music continues]

Sadie?

Sadie?
