00:23:54,948 --> 00:23:56,651
What do you want?

487
00:23:56,718 --> 00:23:59,821
Uh, you, uh,
lose a rooster, George?

488
00:24:00,855 --> 00:24:02,725
No. Why?

489
00:24:02,790 --> 00:24:03,992
Well, now, heh

490
00:24:04,058 --> 00:24:06,194
sure looks like your mama
found one.

[music continues]

497
00:24:33,291 --> 00:24:36,427
Mama. Mama,
I wanna talk to you.

498
00:24:36,494 --> 00:24:40,298
Good mornin', mama.
How you feelin' this morning?

499
00:24:40,364 --> 00:24:41,299
Oh, I'm just fine--

500
00:24:41,365 --> 00:24:43,502
I want to talk to you
about you.

501
00:24:46,171 --> 00:24:48,839
Ain't you ashamed
of yourself?

502
00:24:48,906 --> 00:24:50,475
Everybody knows
that you've been

503
00:24:50,542 --> 00:24:54,580
keeping that-that driver
in your cabin all these nights.

504
00:24:54,647 --> 00:24:57,350
Don't you care nothin'
about how I feels?

505
00:24:59,084 --> 00:25:00,486
It's scandalizing everybody.

506
00:25:00,553 --> 00:25:02,355
'I can't go nowhere
without people'

507

'looking and laughing
and winking their eye!'

508
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:08,328
Well, I ain't
going to stand for it.

509
00:25:08,394 --> 00:25:10,930
(Sam)
What's that you ain't going
to stand for, George, huh?

510
00:25:10,997 --> 00:25:13,701
(George)
You let my mama be.

511
00:25:13,767 --> 00:25:16,403
Oh, I knows all about you.

512
00:25:16,470 --> 00:25:18,138
And I is warnin' you.

513
00:25:18,205 --> 00:25:20,374
You leave my mama be.

514
00:25:21,608 --> 00:25:24,546
Afraid I can't do that, boy.

515
00:25:24,612 --> 00:25:27,248
I-I's gonna marry your mama.

516
00:25:27,315 --> 00:25:28,917
Sam?

517
00:25:28,983 --> 00:25:30,819
Massa always told me

518
00:25:30,884 --> 00:25:32,987
if I find me a girl
I wants to marry

519
00:25:33,054 --> 00:25:34,590
he'd buy her for me.

520
00:25:34,657 --> 00:25:37,526
'Well, I, I ask him..'

521
00:25:37,593 --> 00:25:39,830
'...and he agreeable.'

522
00:25:39,895 --> 00:25:41,196
S-Sam, I--

523
00:25:41,262 --> 00:25:42,498
Kizzy..

524
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,436
Kizzy, I can't leave you.

525
00:25:47,870 --> 00:25:50,907
And I's obliged to tell you that
it ain't for lack of tryin'.

526
00:25:52,442 --> 00:25:56,380
The boy there,
he right about me far as I know.

527
00:25:56,446 --> 00:25:59,650
I done had
a <i>whole</i> bunch of girls.

528
00:25:59,717 --> 00:26:01,953
And that ain't no secret.

529
00:26:02,019 --> 00:26:03,554
I've been a rolling stone
so long

530
00:26:03,621 --> 00:26:07,826
I-I don't know if I can
live any other way.

531
00:26:07,892 --> 00:26:10,629
But I never stopped
being lonely..

532
00:26:10,696 --> 00:26:12,631
...till I met you.

533
00:26:14,867 --> 00:26:16,402
Sca-scared me half to death

534
00:26:16,468 --> 00:26:20,005
wa-wanting somebody
just for myself.

535
00:26:20,072 --> 00:26:22,207
But I want you, Kizzy.

536
00:26:23,108 --> 00:26:25,244
Will you have me?

537
00:26:27,079 --> 00:26:29,215
I-I can't answer you now, Sam.

538
00:26:30,750 --> 00:26:32,620
I got to puzzle things out.

539
00:26:32,686 --> 00:26:34,953
Well, um, puzzle fast, girl

540
00:26:35,020 --> 00:26:37,157
'cause we ain't got
a whole bunch of time.

[chuckles]

542
00:26:43,364 --> 00:26:45,065
Well, I sure do admire you

543
00:26:45,132 --> 00:26:47,635
the way you stands up
for your mama, boy.

544
00:26:47,701 --> 00:26:49,136
'Does you proud.'

545
00:27:03,386 --> 00:27:04,986
Georgie..

546
00:27:09,324 --> 00:27:12,395
I reckon...
he's a good man, mama.

547
00:27:14,330 --> 00:27:16,300
I reckon I could be wrong.

548
00:27:19,402 --> 00:27:21,939
I can't leaves you.
You-you needs me.

549
00:27:22,004 --> 00:27:23,440
Don't you fret.

550
00:27:23,507 --> 00:27:27,378
Besides, we'll be seein'
each other all the time.

551
00:27:27,445 --> 00:27:28,745
Uh, he being a..

552
00:27:28,812 --> 00:27:31,114
...a driver and all

553
00:27:31,181 --> 00:27:33,485
and me traveling around
with Massa Moore.

[instrumental music]

555
00:27:36,956 --> 00:27:38,156
Mama..

556
00:27:40,057 --> 00:27:42,494
...you gave me
all you could give me.

557
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:51,035
You-you got some happiness
coming to you in your life.

558
00:27:52,738 --> 00:27:56,643
Oh, Georgie...I loves you.

[crying]

560
00:28:00,313 --> 00:28:02,649
It's going-going
to be alright, mama.

561
00:28:02,716 --> 00:28:06,787
Don't, don't you fret.
It's going to be alright.

[crying continues]

564
00:28:16,063 --> 00:28:17,732
Come now, Tom.

565
00:28:17,799 --> 00:28:21,169
Everything has its price.
How much for the boy, really?

566
00:28:21,236 --> 00:28:23,772
Well, uh, Mr. Bennett,
I'll be straight with you.

567
00:28:23,839 --> 00:28:25,941
Ain't no amount of cash
could pry that George

568
00:28:26,008 --> 00:28:27,876
loose from me.

569
00:28:27,943 --> 00:28:29,444
You can see it clear as I do.

570
00:28:29,511 --> 00:28:31,814
That's the best
natural-born chicken fighter

571
00:28:31,881 --> 00:28:33,216
there ever was.

572
00:28:33,283 --> 00:28:35,183
That nigger is my fortune

573
00:28:35,250 --> 00:28:36,485
and my future.

574
00:28:36,553 --> 00:28:38,788
I don't disagree with you, Tom

575
00:28:38,855 --> 00:28:42,125
but I was obliged to try.

576
00:28:42,191 --> 00:28:43,627
If you sold that boy
you'd be a damn fool

577
00:28:43,694 --> 00:28:45,662
and you ain't no fool,
Tom Moore, that's a fact.

578
00:28:45,728 --> 00:28:47,998
Thank you, sir. Thank you.

579
00:28:48,064 --> 00:28:49,299
Ma'am..

580
00:28:49,365 --> 00:28:51,535
...I have dined
on Frenchified food

581
00:28:51,602 --> 00:28:53,672
from Philadelphia
to New Orleans

582
00:28:53,738 --> 00:28:55,606
but there is nothing
that lingers on the palate

583
00:28:55,673 --> 00:28:58,275
like the taste of good,
honest country cooking.

584
00:28:58,342 --> 00:29:01,446
- That was a fine meal, ma'am.
- Why, thank you, sir.

585
00:29:10,155 --> 00:29:11,924
Mr. Bennett, um

586
00:29:11,991 --> 00:29:15,227
can I offer you the hospitality
of my slave row?

587
00:29:15,294 --> 00:29:16,996
Oh, not tonight, Tom,
thank you.

588
00:29:17,063 --> 00:29:18,330
Are you sure, sir?

589
00:29:18,396 --> 00:29:19,832
Nothing rounds off
a fine meal

590
00:29:19,899 --> 00:29:21,300
like a visit to slave row.

591
00:29:21,367 --> 00:29:24,103
One of the best traditions
of civilized livin'.

592
00:29:24,170 --> 00:29:25,772
Well, uh,
some other time, Tom.

593
00:29:25,839 --> 00:29:27,174
Uh, I'm a bit tired.

594
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,676
Up to you, sir.

595
00:29:29,743 --> 00:29:32,546
Mr. Bennett,
can I get you anything more?

596
00:29:32,613 --> 00:29:34,348
Why, no, thank you,
ma'am, if, uh

597
00:29:34,414 --> 00:29:37,352
if you'll just excuse me,
I'm-I'm about to retire.

598
00:29:39,119 --> 00:29:41,556
Mrs. Moore, Tom

599
00:29:41,623 --> 00:29:43,491
fine meal.

600
00:29:59,375 --> 00:30:01,610
I'm, uh, feeling
kinda sluggish myself.

601
00:30:01,677 --> 00:30:04,948
Uh, you don't mind if I
take a walk and enjoy a cigar?

602
00:30:05,015 --> 00:30:06,850
Of course not.

603
00:30:07,951 --> 00:30:11,588
I, um, I may be a while, uh..

604
00:30:11,655 --> 00:30:13,790
If you're feeling tired,
you needn't wait up for me.

605
00:30:15,026 --> 00:30:17,160
That's very considerate of you.

606
00:30:18,228 --> 00:30:21,464
Well, uh...goodnight.

607
00:30:22,198 --> 00:30:23,601
Goodnight.

608
00:30:25,836 --> 00:30:28,106
Tom..

609
00:30:28,172 --> 00:30:30,342
...don't catch anythin'
on your walk.

610

No, massa. Please.

be married in a while.

00:33:09,813 --> 00:33:11,983
And I'd do anything
to see my folks

647
00:33:12,050 --> 00:33:14,018
and tell them about us.

648
00:33:14,085 --> 00:33:15,686
Sam, take me there.

649
00:33:15,752 --> 00:33:18,156
I won't ask you anything again
as long as we live.

Hyah!

00:33:20,925 --> 00:33:23,229
Oh! Oh, come on, now,
Kizzy, back off.

653
00:33:23,295 --> 00:33:26,364
You will have us in a ditch.

Ol' Toby went
about two years ago.

656
00:33:44,684 --> 00:33:45,886
After your mama, Bell

657
00:33:45,952 --> 00:33:49,322
was sold away
to the traveling slaver

658
00:33:49,388 --> 00:33:51,992
'he just, uh, faded.'

659
00:33:53,828 --> 00:33:56,564
Lord, that crazy African.

660
00:33:57,299 --> 00:33:58,698
What do you mean, crazy?

661
00:33:58,765 --> 00:34:02,169
Well, all he ever talked about
was runnin' away.

662
00:34:02,236 --> 00:34:05,741
'Plottin' and schemin' about
escapin' till the day he die'

'and him not hardly
able to walk.'

664
00:34:10,345 --> 00:34:12,881
I was with him
when he passed to glory.

665
00:34:14,616 --> 00:34:17,552
Did he say anything
before he die?

666
00:34:17,619 --> 00:34:20,589
Nothin' I could
make no sense of.

667
00:34:20,656 --> 00:34:23,425
Just jabbered away in African.

668
00:34:24,426 --> 00:34:26,796
He kept saying something like..

669
00:34:28,032 --> 00:34:30,066
...belong.

670
00:34:30,133 --> 00:34:31,402
Belong something.

671
00:34:31,467 --> 00:34:34,071
Were it <i>Kamby Bolongo?</i>

672
00:34:34,138 --> 00:34:35,538
That's right.

673
00:34:35,606 --> 00:34:38,376
He kept sayin' it over and over.

674
00:34:38,442 --> 00:34:40,611

675

It mean river.

It was one of the first things
he ever taught me.

I'm sorry you died
without my comfort.

689
00:35:34,236 --> 00:35:37,638
I guess you worried about what
happened to your little girl.

690

Well, it ain't so bad.

691
00:35:43,012 --> 00:35:46,148
I've had my sorrows
just like you..

...and my joys.

693
00:35:50,186 --> 00:35:53,056
I got me a son...George.

694
00:35:53,990 --> 00:35:56,993
Oh, I wish you could see him.

695
00:35:57,060 --> 00:36:01,031
He's tall and strong
and he's got a grin

696
00:36:01,098 --> 00:36:03,901
that'll blind your eye
and break your heart.

697
00:36:05,803 --> 00:36:08,372
You'd like him, daddy.

698
00:36:08,439 --> 00:36:10,541
I know you would.

699
00:36:11,842 --> 00:36:14,545
I told him about
how you were lookin' for a log

700
00:36:14,612 --> 00:36:16,048
to make a drum

701
00:36:16,114 --> 00:36:18,816
when the slave catchers
took you.

702
00:36:20,152 --> 00:36:25,058
And about your real name
being Kunta Kinte.

703
00:36:25,124 --> 00:36:29,027
And <i>Kamby Bolongo</i> mean river,
and <i>ko,</i> a fiddle.

704
00:36:31,531 --> 00:36:34,734
Sometime he seems to forget.

705
00:36:34,801 --> 00:36:37,670
But he's a good boy, daddy.

706
00:36:37,737 --> 00:36:40,773
He's just young, that's all.

707
00:36:44,478 --> 00:36:47,282
Soon, I'm gonna get married.

708
00:36:48,582 --> 00:36:51,018
A-and I'm gonna have
more children.

709
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,324
And I'm gonna teach them
about freedom..

710
00:36:57,959 --> 00:37:01,097
...so that they can teach
their children.

I promise you, daddy,
your dream will not die.

00:42:49,504 --> 00:42:52,308
Kizzy, now, what you
expect me to say, huh?

805
00:42:53,909 --> 00:42:55,779
What you expect me to say?

806
00:42:55,846 --> 00:42:58,447
'That's, that's the way it is.'

807
00:43:00,583 --> 00:43:02,485
Well, there nothin'
I could say about it.

808
00:43:02,552 --> 00:43:03,820
Yes, there was!

809
00:43:03,887 --> 00:43:06,990
You could have cared, Sam!
You could have cared!

810
00:43:08,859 --> 00:43:13,630
The massa can take my body,
but he can't touch my spirit.

811
00:43:13,698 --> 00:43:16,734
He can't touch the dream
of me bein' a free woman!

812
00:43:18,937 --> 00:43:22,640
When they bought you, you just
gave 'em your soul for free.

813
00:43:24,342 --> 00:43:26,912
- Kizzy..

816
00:43:59,813 --> 00:44:02,316
It just ain't big as your,
that's all.

817
00:44:04,184 --> 00:44:07,121
Well, I hope it come

Alright, boys, now that you got
Bennett's birds on his carriage

821
00:44:25,708 --> 00:44:27,476
we'd better start
feeding these birds.

822
00:44:27,543 --> 00:44:29,745
We got us some dates

824

Um, them birds is going,

'You ain't been looking
too good lately.'

827
00:44:41,291 --> 00:44:43,260
I want you
to get yourself rested up.

828
00:44:43,327 --> 00:44:44,862
Oh, I alright, massa.

829
00:44:44,929 --> 00:44:49,266
Anyway, uh, you too old
for all this travelin'.

830
00:44:49,333 --> 00:44:52,437
George here can handle things
on his own now.

831
00:44:54,305 --> 00:44:57,475
But, massa, cockfighting
is all my life.

832
00:44:57,542 --> 00:44:59,745
But I ain't taking you away
from your chickens.

833
00:44:59,812 --> 00:45:02,514
'You can go on tendin' 'em
and training 'em.'

834
00:45:04,050 --> 00:45:05,551
But, massa, uh

835
00:45:05,618 --> 00:45:08,754

Mingo, he fine. Just fine.

'Sure, he been feeling
a little poorly lately'

837
00:45:10,589 --> 00:45:13,960
but he's one of the finest
cock fighters alive.

838
00:45:14,027 --> 00:45:16,363
Now, now you all know that.

839
00:45:18,565 --> 00:45:21,001
I've made up my mind, boy.

840
00:45:21,068 --> 00:45:22,435
Mr. Bennett admired you

841
00:45:22,502 --> 00:45:25,006
too much for me to overlook it.

842
00:45:25,072 --> 00:45:26,841
'You is, uh..'

843
00:45:26,907 --> 00:45:28,744
'...my main trainer now.'

We's gonna make us

Find yourself a wife quick,

851
00:45:42,658 --> 00:45:45,128
I don't want my trainer cattin'

Everything you learned

00:46:08,452 --> 00:46:12,423
There's things you know

Sam wasn't like us.

888
00:48:36,444 --> 00:48:39,114
Nobody ever told him
where he come from.

889

So he didn't have a dream

Mama, I know how you be feeling
about cockfighting and all

895
00:49:03,174 --> 00:49:06,143
but...listen to me one time.

Ain't nobody in the world know
them birds better than I do.

I'm gonna make a name
for myself.

Uh, get me some respect.

But not by running
like, like your daddy.

until I can buy myself free.

906
00:49:35,441 --> 00:49:38,444
And then I'll look straight
ahead the rest of my life

907
00:49:38,511 --> 00:49:40,680
not over my shoulder.

917
00:50:02,437 --> 00:50:05,174
But a whole lifetime
of hope for you yet.

918
00:50:07,043 --> 00:50:09,844
- But one thing, Georgie.
- What's that, mama?

919

Don't you believe

Nope, I'm a nigger
what owns a nigger.

944
00:51:56,261 --> 00:51:58,729
I done bought
my own freedom papers.

945
00:51:58,796 --> 00:52:00,564
Bought yourself?

946
00:52:00,631 --> 00:52:02,167
I didn't know
a slave could do that?

947
00:52:02,233 --> 00:52:03,868
All you need..

948

...is a willin' master
and the money.

949
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,944
And I got a bill of sale
to prove that I owns me.

950
00:52:13,011 --> 00:52:15,915
Took me near 20 years,
but I done it.

951
00:52:17,650 --> 00:52:19,751
Saved every penny.

952
00:52:19,818 --> 00:52:21,454
More than $2000!

00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:22,556
Two thou--

954
00:52:22,621 --> 00:52:24,357
I could have bought free sooner

955
00:52:24,424 --> 00:52:27,427
if I was just a field hand.

956
00:52:27,494 --> 00:52:29,062

957
00:52:29,129 --> 00:52:32,999
well, like you and me, George,
we cost the most.

00:52:34,234 --> 00:52:36,237
Now, that old no-account
massa of yours

959
00:52:36,304 --> 00:52:38,773
do he ever share
the winnings with you?

960
00:52:40,675 --> 00:52:42,709
Then you can do it too, George.

961
00:52:48,217 --> 00:52:49,384
Save up.

962
00:52:51,153 --> 00:52:55,756

No, no, no.
But I got my reckonin'.

1282
01:09:50,350 --> 01:09:52,185
Nat Turner's boys.

1283
01:09:52,252 --> 01:09:54,155
Tryin' to get away.

1284
01:09:54,222 --> 01:09:55,856
Headed across the river there.

1285
01:09:56,958 --> 01:09:59,092
He crossed the river
now, George.

1286
01:10:00,394 --> 01:10:01,462
Amen.

1287
01:10:02,631 --> 01:10:04,399
George..

1288
01:10:04,466 --> 01:10:07,069
...how come you figure
he be smilin' like that?

(Squire James)
'Chicken George.'

1292
01:10:39,738 --> 01:10:42,573
Yes, sir, Squire James.
Mornin', sir.

1293
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:44,041
Morning.

1294
01:10:44,108 --> 01:10:47,145
I'm on my way to make
Mr. Moore a proposition.

1295
01:10:47,212 --> 01:10:49,080
'If he should accept
the proposition'

1296
01:10:49,147 --> 01:10:51,816
would you have any
objections to leaving here?

1297
01:10:51,883 --> 01:10:56,221
Uh, I-I don't
right-rightly know.

1298
01:10:56,288 --> 01:10:59,125
Uh.. Don't rightly know what a..

1299
01:11:00,860 --> 01:11:01,961
...pro-proposition is.

1300
01:11:02,028 --> 01:11:05,231
Well, I have a friend arriving

1301
01:11:05,298 --> 01:11:07,466
within the month from England.

1302
01:11:07,533 --> 01:11:10,771
He's bringing
20 of his best fighting cocks.

1303
01:11:10,836 --> 01:11:12,839
Now, with his 20 and 20 of mine

1304
01:11:12,906 --> 01:11:14,775
we shall issue a challenge

1305
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:19,647
to fight all comers
for a purse of $30,000.

1306
01:11:19,714 --> 01:11:24,152
I want to buy you
to train and handle my birds.

1307
01:11:24,218 --> 01:11:27,722
I'll promise you the usual
trainer's share of the purses

1308
01:11:27,789 --> 01:11:29,924
and your freedom
in five years.

1309
01:11:34,496 --> 01:11:37,800
Uh.. Uh, but-but Massa Moore
said there ain't gonna be

1310
01:11:37,865 --> 01:11:40,001
no more cockfightin',
as long as, um--

1311
01:11:40,069 --> 01:11:41,236
'As long as that bloodthirsty'

1312
01:11:41,303 --> 01:11:43,972
Nat Turner is still
out and about?

1313
01:11:44,039 --> 01:11:46,975
Don't worry.
That's over and done with.

1314
01:11:47,943 --> 01:11:49,878
'They caught him
three days ago.'

1315
01:11:49,945 --> 01:11:53,116
Hung him.
Left his body out to rot.

1316
01:11:53,183 --> 01:11:56,052
The rest of the savages are
scattered to the four winds.

1317
01:11:56,119 --> 01:11:57,487
I understand there were only

1318
01:11:57,554 --> 01:12:01,091
some 80 odd blacks
involved anyway.

1319
01:12:01,157 --> 01:12:03,026
Not exactly Armageddon.

1320
01:12:04,495 --> 01:12:07,131
Well, at any rate, uh..

1321
01:12:07,198 --> 01:12:09,700
...I'll be talking
to Mr. Moore this after--

1322
01:12:09,767 --> 01:12:12,236
- Squire James, sir.
- 'Yeah?'

1323
01:12:14,639 --> 01:12:17,209
This here is Tildy.

1324
01:12:17,275 --> 01:12:20,911
Uh, my wife.
We got us a family and, uh..

1325
01:12:20,978 --> 01:12:22,280
Oh, don't worry, George.

1326
01:12:22,347 --> 01:12:24,316
I wouldn't split up a family.

1327
01:12:24,383 --> 01:12:26,051
'Wouldn't do to have
an unhappy trainer'

1328
01:12:26,118 --> 01:12:27,553
'on your hands now,
would it?'

1329
01:12:27,620 --> 01:12:31,858
[chuckles]
Uh, no, sir!
I...wouldn't be unhappy!

1330
01:12:31,923 --> 01:12:35,261
I'll, uh.. I'll talk
to Tom Moore right now.

1331
01:12:35,328 --> 01:12:37,831
'I just hope something
can be worked out.'

1332
01:12:37,897 --> 01:12:39,600
Yes, sir, Squire James

1333
01:12:39,666 --> 01:12:42,301
I sure hopes you can work
somethin' out too.

1334
01:12:42,368 --> 01:12:43,637
Hmm.

1335
01:12:44,937 --> 01:12:48,075

1337
01:13:02,457 --> 01:13:03,525
Dumb aristocrat

1338
01:13:03,591 --> 01:13:07,061
thought he could
buy you for $3500.

1339
01:13:07,128 --> 01:13:08,964
That's feed for chicken, George.

1340
01:13:09,031 --> 01:13:11,934
Massa Moore, you don't need me.

1341
01:13:12,001 --> 01:13:13,669
Uh, you ain't fightin' no more.

1342
01:13:13,736 --> 01:13:16,740
I am now.
The troubles are over.

1343
01:13:16,807 --> 01:13:21,311
Yes, sir, George, we are gonna
be fightin' now for <i>real</i> money.

1344
01:13:21,378 --> 01:13:23,312
'Thirty thousand dollars
in the purse'

1345
01:13:23,379 --> 01:13:25,981
and side bets startin' at 250.

1346
01:13:26,049 --> 01:13:27,819
We are gonna squeeze
the last two bit piece

1347
01:13:27,885 --> 01:13:32,190
out of Squire James and
his fancy Englishman friend.

1348
01:13:32,256 --> 01:13:34,859
But Squire James say
he set me free.

1349
01:13:34,926 --> 01:13:36,159
Ain't for him to say.

1350
01:13:36,226 --> 01:13:38,963
You are gonna stay here
and fight my chickens.

1351
01:13:40,064 --> 01:13:43,402
You're mine.
You are my property, George.

1352
01:13:43,469 --> 01:13:45,436
You are gonna
beat that Englishman

1353
01:13:45,503 --> 01:13:47,371
'and anybody else
who comes along.'

1354
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:50,676
Then, it don't matter how much
you get offered for me then.

1355
01:13:50,742 --> 01:13:54,547
It don't matter how much
I saves to buy myself free.

1356
01:13:55,747 --> 01:13:59,151
You-you ain't gonna
let me go no reason.

1357
01:13:59,218 --> 01:14:00,820
You're my nigger, George.

1358
01:14:00,887 --> 01:14:04,090
Can't you get that
through your thick skull?

1359
01:14:06,426 --> 01:14:08,829
Yes, sir.

1360
01:14:08,896 --> 01:14:11,765
It got through that time.

1361
01:14:11,832 --> 01:14:13,901
I understands it all now.

You ain't got
no more use for this, brother

1365
01:15:10,663 --> 01:15:12,463
but I sure do!

1366
01:15:13,731 --> 01:15:16,535
Don't, George! You can't.

1367
01:15:19,538 --> 01:15:22,041
Tildy told me
about that dead boy.

1368
01:15:22,106 --> 01:15:24,044
About the gun.

1369
01:15:24,109 --> 01:15:26,278
You can't do
what you're thinkin' on, George.

1370
01:15:26,345 --> 01:15:28,848
[inhales deeply]
I'm gonna do it, mama.

1371
01:15:28,915 --> 01:15:31,551
I'm gonna kill
Massa Tom Moore.

1372
01:15:31,618 --> 01:15:35,221
He done the worst thing
that a man can do to me.

1373
01:15:35,288 --> 01:15:37,424
[sobbing]
He took away all my hopes.

1374
01:15:37,490 --> 01:15:39,292
What about Tildy
and the children?

1375
01:15:39,359 --> 01:15:42,363
They ain't got no hopes
so long as Master Moore's alive.

1376
01:15:43,197 --> 01:15:44,732
Man ain't worth a chicken!

1377
01:15:44,799 --> 01:15:47,468
He ain't alive.
Mama, get out my way!

1378
01:15:47,535 --> 01:15:50,137
Don't do it, George!
It be the worst sin there is!

1379
01:15:50,204 --> 01:15:51,373
What, killin' Massa Tom Moore?

1380
01:15:51,440 --> 01:15:53,275
That's no more than
killin' a dog. Move.

1381
01:15:53,342 --> 01:15:56,011
No, damn it, no!

1382
01:15:56,078 --> 01:15:57,879
He's your daddy!

[instrumental music]

1384
01:16:07,690 --> 01:16:09,826
I was never
going to tell you, George.

1385
01:16:11,728 --> 01:16:13,664
But you has to know.

1386
01:16:15,366 --> 01:16:17,567
Massa Moore bought me
from the Riddles plantation

1387
01:16:17,634 --> 01:16:20,370
in Virginia,
he brought me here.

1388
01:16:20,437 --> 01:16:23,173
I was no more than 16.

1389
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:24,943
Now, Massa Moore,
he come to my cabin

1390
01:16:25,010 --> 01:16:28,012
the first night and he..

1391
01:16:28,078 --> 01:16:30,214
...he forced himself on me.

1392
01:16:31,515 --> 01:16:33,818
All I knew was it hurt.

1393
01:16:35,186 --> 01:16:37,822
[sobbing]
It hurt so bad.

1394
01:16:40,191 --> 01:16:41,827
That don't matter now.

1395
01:16:44,096 --> 01:16:45,631
I love you more than anything

1396
01:16:45,698 --> 01:16:48,400
in this whole world,
George honey.

1397
01:16:50,168 --> 01:16:52,805
But you can't do
what you gonna do.

1398
01:16:54,306 --> 01:16:56,777
You'd be damned
for your sin forever.

1399
01:16:58,011 --> 01:17:01,915
It'd be killin'
your own flesh and blood.

1400
01:17:01,982 --> 01:17:03,917
He is your papa.

1401
01:17:06,286 --> 01:17:09,290
You his boy, George.
You his boy.

1402
01:17:18,399 --> 01:17:22,704
Now...what we gonna do..

1403
01:17:22,770 --> 01:17:26,207
...we gonna bury
that poor boy and his gun

1404
01:17:26,275 --> 01:17:28,410
and we gonna say
some words for him.

1405
01:17:31,780 --> 01:17:32,948
Then we goin' back

1406
01:17:33,015 --> 01:17:36,720
and we gonna make out
the best way wecan.

I just wanna know one thing.

1412
01:18:04,883 --> 01:18:07,018
Are you my daddy?

[laughing]
Sure am.

1414
01:18:11,356 --> 01:18:12,692
Then how could you
do this to me?

1415
01:18:12,759 --> 01:18:15,194
How could you do this
to your own child?

1416
01:18:15,293 --> 01:18:16,996
Fact is, I got
20 like you spread out

from Caswell County
to Charleston Harbor.

You know me, George.

1419
01:18:22,602 --> 01:18:25,272
I always did like
a fresh nigger gal.

1420
01:18:28,508 --> 01:18:29,710
It's hard tobelieve

1421
01:18:29,777 --> 01:18:32,045
but your Mama Kizzy
was fresh once.

What you gonna do, George?

1424
01:18:44,492 --> 01:18:47,962
Don't rightly know.

1425
01:18:48,029 --> 01:18:51,167
But I know I don't feel like
fightin' your chickens no more.

1426
01:18:51,233 --> 01:18:54,470
- You better fight 'em or--
- What you gonna do?

1427
01:18:54,537 --> 01:18:56,672
You gonna sell me?

1428
01:19:00,910 --> 01:19:05,081
No, George.
I ain't gonna sell you.

1429
01:19:05,148 --> 01:19:06,683
I'll sell your boy, Tom.

1430
01:19:09,318 --> 01:19:12,055
Or, uh...maybe Mathilda.

1431
01:19:14,691 --> 01:19:16,828
That's what I'm gonna do.

What you gonna do, George?

1433
01:19:25,069 --> 01:19:27,538
I'm gonna fight your chickens..

'Five hundred dollars!'

1438
01:20:03,310 --> 01:20:06,214
Five hundred dollars right
here on the Englishman's bird.

1439
01:20:06,281 --> 01:20:07,615
Five hundred dollars..

1440
01:20:07,681 --> 01:20:09,985
You hear that, George?
Five hundred dollars!

1441
01:20:10,051 --> 01:20:12,188
A fellow told me
there's game cockers here

1442
01:20:12,255 --> 01:20:13,687
from as far away as Texas.

1443
01:20:13,754 --> 01:20:16,024
Some from Florida.
Ha ha.

1444
01:20:16,091 --> 01:20:19,061
They come a long way to lose
their money to Tom Moore!

[clucking]

1446
01:20:23,799 --> 01:20:27,603
Next, the bird
of Sir Eric Russell..

1447
01:20:27,670 --> 01:20:30,941
...to fight
the bird of Tom Moore!

1448
01:20:31,008 --> 01:20:31,975
Tom Moore!

'Tom Moore! Tom Moore!
Tom Moore! Tom Moore!'

1452
01:20:42,954 --> 01:20:45,623
Tom Moore seems to be
the local favorite.

1453
01:20:46,523 --> 01:20:48,792
The scum of the county.

1454
01:20:48,859 --> 01:20:51,362
Five pounds, fifteen ounces!

1456
01:20:57,702 --> 01:20:59,971

1462
01:21:40,648 --> 01:21:42,985
If I said sport for kings,
I stand corrected.

1463
01:21:43,051 --> 01:21:45,287
This chap and his friends
would disqualify it

1464
01:21:45,355 --> 01:21:46,588
as even a sport for gentlemen.

Oh, he's mighty puffed up!

1467
01:21:54,596 --> 01:21:57,200
Take him down a peg or two!

1468
01:21:57,267 --> 01:21:59,837
I wonder where his red coat is?

1469
01:21:59,903 --> 01:22:03,239
I wonder, do he fight foxes too?

1470
01:22:03,307 --> 01:22:05,242
Or just run from them!

1471
01:22:06,477 --> 01:22:09,680
Let me speak!
If I may.

1472
01:22:09,747 --> 01:22:11,615
Oh. Oh, let him speak!

1473

...considering
your extra ounce

1477
01:22:22,161 --> 01:22:23,828
I thought we might
choose to waive

1478
01:22:23,895 --> 01:22:27,565
any particular limits to
our own personal sighting foul.

1479
01:22:28,767 --> 01:22:31,070
That would be
suitable to me, sir.

1480
01:22:32,271 --> 01:22:35,174
Would $10,000 be agreeable?

1481
01:22:35,241 --> 01:22:36,776
'Or do you find that
beyond your faith'

1482
01:22:36,842 --> 01:22:39,111
in that ferocious
creature of yours?

- Time.
- 'Time.'

We're countin' on you, Tom!
You're our boy, Tom!

Here's to you! Go get him!

01:22:59,467 --> 01:23:01,769
Can he do it, George?
Can he?

You know what I'm askin'.

1492
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,308
Can I be sure
you'll handle him to win?

1493
01:23:09,078 --> 01:23:12,515
You might just lose to spite me.

1494
01:23:12,581 --> 01:23:15,684
I'd feel a heap easier..

1495
01:23:15,751 --> 01:23:17,853

wanted him to win.

- You're my boy, George.

your bird had no right
