Junior:
Miss queenie,

I had no idea
any of this

Was touching
your territory.

Means the only
business that remains

Is how you plan to
make this right.

Junior:
Let me use the trains
to run numbers for ya.

Pay and part ways.

Rose:
Boys like ours,

They need more help than
we know how to give.

Marlene:
Eli is pulling us off
our regular route.

He seems to think that
we can do just as well

On de bullion street.

None of these folks are
gonna donate to anything

Besides their own vices.

Who let these preachers in?

You all right?

I think you're a diabetic.

Who's this johnson?

Corrine:
Rumour is he's looking
for a dancer to go along.

Lucy:
He chose corrine.

You need to leave
mr. Senior executive.

Franklin:
But I have some friends
from prep school.

They hold a salon
every few weeks.

Zeke:
If I wanted to get the
porters into a union

That purposely
excludes them,

What's the first
thing I should do?

Randolph:
Always go for the head.

You have to go to the
labour board in ottawa.

They're the ones
with the sway

To change things
for everybody.

Junior:
Think if I have to spend
the rest of my life

Bowing and smiling at people
rather spit in my face

Than see me as human,

Then killing me
would be a kindness.

Tuffy:
(muffled) zeke?

(door knocks)

Tuffy:
Zeke!

Didn't no one teach
you to knock?

I-I did.

Twice.

I was wondering if you
had a spare polish brush?

Fellas in my room say it
get more tips than a rag.

Best shine takes both.

You know tuffy,

One of these days

You have to spend
your own money

On your own supplies.

One of these days I'll have
to do better than break even

So I can.

Well that's the nail
on the head ain't it?

(upbeat music)

I talked to the
head of the union,

Now they plan to get
us into the cbre.

You're dreamin' zeke.
-Hey zeke.

No way those white boys
let us in their union.

Well it ain't about
what they want,

It's about what
they need,

And what they
need is numbers.

See, now if I could
get enough names

And dudes from
the porters,

Then I can show
the labour board

That we ready
to be union men.

Okay, okay, but what
good's a union to me?

Well the same thing
it is to them.

Higher wages,

Breaks on
back-to-back runs,

And paid time and a
half on holidays.

Now if every man on
that train is union,

Well the company
can't move down

One inch of
track un-

Tuffy:
Track of what?

Unless what?

Zeke, you all right?

Yeah.

What's wrong?

Oh, you go on
ahead without me.

Come on, man,
we're going-

Go on, tuffy.

Sooner than we want,

He's gonna be

Well, it's less effort and
more efficiency, sister.

For example,

Minimal socializing

Would increase the

If we got into the

We have to talk about

I ain't asking you to stand
on a soapbox, junior.

I-I just need a few porters
who ain't so set against it.

And I need to go to that labour
board with an army by my side.

Well, feel free to take the milk

Oh, so you think you got

Nigger, you gonna

May the best man win, zeke.

I will.

(upbeat rhythmic music)

Now I'm telling you,

It ain't that far fetched.

It's about the details.

Specifically, not

Black and white.

If you really want change,
well you got to-

Keep your mouth shut.

You get questioned,

You get stopped,

You know no one.

Especially not me.

I mean,

Don't y'all deserve

Here's how it works.

Pick three numbers,
place your bet.

The draw's every
three days.

Cash on bet,
no exceptions.

The runner picks
up once a week,

Bet slips included.

And, uh, last three numbers on

Any man working on my team
gets a piece of the action.

Look, stanley.

I know you joined the

But when you're faced
with that kind of need,

How are you supposed to
turn your back on that?

What does this have
to do with the u.N.I.A?

Brother garvey says that
we are supposed to create

Our own opportunities.

Why should our people walk
miles to a city hospital

That shuts the door in their
face whenever the mood strikes?

We need our own clinics.

look at my plans-

You know there's a reason
why you're in the uniform

And I'm in the suit!

There are roles to

You know brother garvey's
promoted a woman

To the top spot.

Head of international

Henrietta?

(chuckling)

That-that-that is pure
public relations.

Maybe.

Or maybe the line between

Wherever he wishes.

Zeke:
Pastor haynes?

Hey pastor,

I'm sorry to come so late.

I had to make sure
I wasn't followed.

I think the railroad knows
I'm trying to unionize.

What is it you need, zeke?

Your basement.

I wanna hold a
special meetin'.

You see,

I've been thinking
about what you do,

And-and how you get people
to believe in things

That they can't even see.

Pastor haynes:
It's scripture.

Faith is evidence
of things unseen.

Yeah, but sometimes you need
to see faith change things

To believe it.

And the church basement?

Well let's just call that
a faith healing service.

Zeke:
Thank you, pastor.

See you Sunday.

Known associates,

Family, relationships.

Pressing my ear to

I think the last page in my

Don't have a right to know?

They have no right to.

This is their real life.

And this is

Say "amen"!

Somebody say "amen".

About mustard seed faith.

Pastor haynes:
Faith that begins

Long before the
harvest appears.

Pastor haynes:
Faith that looks

At a field of weed-

What you doing here?

Had some time to kill.
-Mhm.

I hear you got someone taking
on a fair share of that lately.

The edwards boy?

Pastor haynes:
And when you're facing-

It's just a little
bit of fun zeke.

The boy walks around like
the world owes him a favour.

When the pot calls
out to the kettle,

It sure can sing.

What's that

Maybe popsy can
explain it to you.

Pastor haynes:
Faith can grow, amen!

Congregation:
Amen!

Every cent, every slip.

Quite a few cents from

It's better to be over

Hmm.

Queenie:
It's a part of my work with
