00:00Dave!
00:03Boss, I need you to get out of town.
00:05You hear me?
00:07I told you this guy's office rocker.
00:09The Bureau can't expect any valid information from this lunatic.
00:11I'm here to talk to you about your son and who you blame for his murder.
00:15Vincent Chin Gigante.
00:18I don't believe you.
00:20You don't have to.
00:21You can hear it from his daughter.
00:23But it's over, baby. You know that.
00:25And if you want to stay alive, it has got to stay our secret.
00:28What do you mean it's over?
00:30Come on, son.
00:31I'd rather give you up than see you dead.
00:34I'm trying to walk the line with me this time around, you know?
00:36I'm sure I'll be seeing you soon.
00:40I take 200,000 and not a penny left.
00:45I ain't giving this bitch a dime.
00:47I'd like you to be my eyes and ears within the walls of Mosque No. 7.
00:52I want to know what Malcolm is saying, doing, and even thinking at all times.
00:57If the gangster can be made politically conscious,
01:01Islam can sweep through every ghetto in this country.
01:04Well, you wanted to start a war.
01:06And when Bonanno finds out that Chin killed his kid,
01:09you're gonna have it.
01:10We will rise, we will rise with the fire in our eyes.
01:19With no hate in our hearts, and the future in our minds, yeah.
01:25We will rise, we will rise with the fire in our eyes.
01:28Don't want to give us no heat, we ain't gonna move our feet.
01:32Don't want to give us no heat, we ain't gonna move our feet.
01:35That was Teddy Green's new single, Rise,
01:40which is doing just that up to the top of the charts.
01:43It's a cold Tuesday in Harlem with thousands of NYC tenants
01:46have refused to pay their rent until their rat-infested buildings
01:50are taken care of.
01:52Local police, as well as Nation of Islam soldiers,
01:54hope to ensure that the protest remains peaceful.
01:57Sorry, Reverend Powell, but I have orders
01:59to evict the tenants of this building.
02:01Well, we are engaged in a non-violent act of civil disobedience.
02:06There'll be no evictions today.
02:07I have my orders.
02:09These tenants will not pay rent until repairs are made.
02:15I'm gonna ask you nicely.
02:17Please, unchain yourselves,
02:19or we will have to cut you loose.
02:21I'm sorry, officer, but we will not.
02:25Ma'am, we have a job to do.
02:26So do we.
02:28You don't wanna give us no heat.
02:30We're not gonna move our feet.
02:32You don't wanna give us no heat.
02:34We're not gonna move our feet.
02:36You don't wanna give us no heat.
02:37Stay in strong.
02:39Stay in strong now.
02:40Stay in strong.
02:41No, no, don't touch that, Reverend.
02:42Wait, no, no, no, no.
02:43No, no, no.
02:47Hey, come on now.
02:49Easy, easy, easy.
02:51Hey, do not hit back.
02:53We will have our day to it.
02:55Oh, my God, he's going to move out of here.
03:11My name is the Bumper.
03:17Hey there, Mr. Bumper.
03:21Hoppy.
03:22You know.
03:23I didn't expect to see you.
03:24I was so soon after what else.
03:27I don't mind the store.
03:28How are we doing tonight?
03:29A place of jumping, as you can see.
03:31We got a high roll of dice game going on out in the back.
03:34A couple of big-time doo-jee bars from Detroit up with Juniper.
03:38We're probably going to pull in $40,000 tonight.
03:41That's good to hear.
03:43There was a lady looking for you.
03:46Yeah?
03:47Yeah, real man-eater.
03:50You wouldn't know that in the right or a lot, right?
03:52Listen, you better watch.
03:54What do you mean you're back in that hospital?
04:08I called the hospital as soon as I heard you were shot.
04:11I didn't leave work because I knew that you were with family.
04:14It's awful.
04:16Here's what checking on.
04:17I'm worried for you, Bumpy.
04:22I thought that you were going to be at the Kentucky Derby this week.
04:26Fuck the Derby.
04:27Are you in pain?
04:28Does it still hurt?
04:31Fine.
04:31Coincidentally, um, your wife and I are involved in the same cause.
04:40Adam Clayton Powell solicited my help to pay for the lawyers that he needs to carry out this rent strike in the courts.
04:45Be careful, Amy.
04:46Careful's my middle name.
04:50He says when you've been involved with the civil rights more men, huh?
04:52I was at the march.
04:53I heard Dr. King's speech.
04:55White America has to take notice of what's going on in this country, the hatred and violence.
04:59Only took a couple of years, huh?
05:00I'm serious.
05:04I'd do anything to advance the cost of me, girl.
05:07Yeah?
05:08Open up my window again.
05:34Open up my window again.
05:36I can't end up calling my name.
05:39I can't end up calling again.
05:42I swear to God, things ain't gonna change.
05:45I swear to God, things ain't gonna change.
05:47I keep a revolver with your name.
05:50I keep a revolver with your name.
05:52Just in case.
05:55Lay on my back watching the ceiling, friend.
05:57I had a dream to touch a kilogram.
06:00Still at odds with the Irish mob.
06:02Roast race down Malcolm X Boulevard.
06:04Lord, these haters really out here praying on me.
06:07Got the 40 on me and the stand on me.
06:10Snow white mink like them Dutch shoes.
06:13Run the books and let me show you how the numbers look.
06:16You can't be lucky like you Luciano.
06:18The kilos coming like they do pianos.
06:21The fat boy got the big body.
06:24Coast to coast, I can shoot product.
06:25Open up my window again.
06:30Open up my window again.
06:32I can end up calling my name.
06:35I can end up calling again.
06:37I swear to God, things ain't gonna change.
06:40I swear to God, things ain't gonna change.
06:43I keep a revolver with your name.
06:45I keep a revolver with your name.
06:48Just in case.
06:49Yeah, come on in.
06:55You see these toy rats?
06:57Oh, those were sent to me by my constituents.
07:00That's when I knew that the community had had enough.
07:03And I took up this rent strike as my cause.
07:06It had nothing to do with all that bad publicity on Esther James.
07:11None whatsoever.
07:12Huh.
07:14Make yourself comfortable.
07:15Speaking of rats, how can I help you, Johnson?
07:22Lots of rats at Harlem these days.
07:26Real ones.
07:28And ones seeking publicity.
07:29This is more than just a publicity stunt.
07:33People's lives and well-being are at stake.
07:36The people in Harlem live in miserable conditions.
07:38Someone's got to do something about it.
07:39I could help.
07:41I talked to some of the landlords,
07:42and they're willing to grant a sum of money
07:46to fix the buildings.
07:48In exchange for what?
07:50For your help in ending the rent strike
07:51and making sure that this doesn't go to court.
07:54And your friends,
07:56are they of the Italian persuasion?
08:00Not at liberty to say.
08:01Well, I'll find out.
08:04There's a shell company
08:05that owns millions of dollars' worth of real estate in Harlem.
08:11The owners are entirely hidden from view
08:15and pay no taxes.
08:18Bower Lane Holding Corporation.
08:21I have some very expensive lawyers working night and day,
08:24funded by Amy Vanderbilt,
08:25so I can expose those names at the hearing.
08:27And when I do,
08:29I will put those buildings into receivership,
08:32I will prosecute the owners,
08:34and I will make sure
08:35that all of them go to jail.
08:38Is there nothing that I can do
08:40to change your mind?
08:41Most assuredly, not.
08:47Is it...
08:48You move a shitload to your door.
08:54Pretty sophisticated.
08:55I got it.
08:56I've never seen an operation like this.
08:58Yeah.
08:59My man Bumpy's one of a kind.
09:03I've known Bumpy since Cotton Club days.
09:05Yeah.
09:06You know, don't think I don't know
09:07that my wall with chin benefits you more than anyone.
09:10You got the best dope pipeline you ever had,
09:13straight off the boat from Marseille.
09:15Judy Byrne,
09:16how many kilos we take from Mr. Banana this month?
09:20Close to a thousand.
09:22A thousand.
09:23Chin's backed into a corner.
09:25It's nothing more dangerous than a cornered animal.
09:27You're going to need money to fight him off.
09:31How about I take 1,500 kilos,
09:34and you mark the price down to $23,000 per key?
09:38Sure, but that's not why you asked me, yeah.
09:41Got big problems on the horizon.
09:45Heard about the winter strikes in Harlem, right?
09:47Yeah.
09:47The five families own about 35% of all of the slum buildings.
09:52If mob control of Harlem and real estate is exposed,
09:55it'll be bad.
09:57They can't connect those buildings to us.
09:59I wouldn't be so sure.
10:01Powell's got some high-priced lawyers now.
10:03If Powell finds out that it's the mob,
10:06we'll lose those buildings in the government receivership.
10:08So what do you propose?
10:13Chin's off his rocket.
10:14He's walking around in a fucking bathroom, for God's sake.
10:17It's fucking embarrassment.
10:20This is who you got running the Genovese family?
10:22How about I get Powell to back off
10:28of the Bowery Lane investigation?
10:31Hmm?
10:32Could you help make a case for Chin's removal?
10:36Don't you see?
10:37This war with 27 dead on either side.
10:40It's Bumpy Johnson.
10:41He's the cause of all of these.
10:43What?
10:44Bumpy Johnson.
10:45He did this.
10:46Did it all.
10:48Get out of here.
10:49Johnson convinced Bonanno
10:52that I'm responsible for the disappearance of Lorenzo.
10:54The kid fucking disappeared in 1957 in Harlem.
10:58He's blaming me?
10:59He killed Lorenzo, and I'm going to prove it.
11:02I think that crazy act of yours
11:04has finally gone to your head.
11:06He killed Ritchie Sombrano.
11:09You told me that you killed Sombrano.
11:13I was lying.
11:14All right, he had my daughter hostage.
11:16Bumpy saved my life at Lewisburg.
11:18He has never lied to me, not even once.
11:22You remember the trial of Don Vitone?
11:25Naturally.
11:26Okay.
11:27That Bruto Cazzo judge,
11:29he tells the jury
11:30that if they caught a witness in one lie
11:33that they could dismiss the entire testimony.
11:35You remember that?
11:37If I convince you
11:39that Johnson killed Sombrano,
11:41you will arrange a summit with Bonanno.
11:43Oh, boy.
11:44We all meet.
11:44Hey, what do you think?
11:46Okay.
11:50Bumpy Johnson,
11:51he's playing all of us.
11:54Harlem is a tinderbox.
11:56It's about to explode.
11:58This morning, cops were sent
11:59to evict those tenants,
12:00and it was only the protection
12:02from the Nation of Islam soldiers
12:03that kept those tenants safe.
12:05our Black Self-Defense Army
12:08is the natural evolution
12:10of what we preach.
12:13Very good, Malcolm.
12:19Very good.
12:20Once again,
12:21you've exceeded my expectations.
12:23In your honor,
12:26the Holy Apostle.
12:29Let's have a word in private.
12:38You've come so far, Malcolm.
12:40Your father was killed
12:44when you were a child,
12:45your mother in a mental hospital,
12:48years in foster care,
12:50then inevitably prison.
12:55When you wrote me
12:56that letter from jail,
12:59even I had no idea
13:01that someday
13:02I would say these words to you.
13:05You have enemies
13:07among the leadership
13:08in Chicago.
13:10Then even likely,
13:12you have enemies
13:13in this mosque.
13:16They think you used
13:18the platform I've given you
13:20for your own advancement.
13:22It's all.
13:22But I hope
13:24when the day comes
13:25that I leave this earth plane,
13:30my successor
13:31will be you, my son.
13:37I could never
13:40replace you,
13:42dear Holy Apostle.
13:49I don't want you
13:50or your black self-defense army
13:53to be involved
13:54in any civil rights actions,
13:57including how they were utilized
13:59for the rent strike today.
14:01May I ask why, messenger?
14:03As I have said many times,
14:05we are a religious organization,
14:09not a political one.
14:14We work for souls,
14:16not apartment buildings.
14:20You don't need
14:21to antagonize the government.
14:23You got enough enemies
14:25without them.
14:25Let me get a slits.
14:50Hey!
14:51My man!
14:52Good to see you.
14:53Where you been?
14:54I ain't seen you in ages, man.
14:56I've been working, Isaiah.
14:57You know, making a living.
14:59Oh, come on.
14:59Nell!
15:00Nell!
15:00This Ernie Nunzi right here, huh?
15:03Hello.
15:04How you doing, sister?
15:07How's everybody doing today?
15:10Or is it still last night?
15:12Nell!
15:13Nell, give my man Ernie
15:14here a real drink.
15:14Come on, what you want?
15:15What you drink?
15:15No, no, I'm good.
15:16I'm looking for a lady.
15:19Take a look around.
15:20You see something you like,
15:21you just ask.
15:22And if it's not here,
15:22I can call it in.
15:23I'm talking special delivery, baby.
15:29You used to do a guy
15:30named Richie Zambrano.
15:32Her name's Flossie.
15:36I don't know no Flossie, man.
15:37She ain't one of mine.
15:38No, sir.
15:39I know you used to get girls for Richie
15:42from time to time.
15:43So how is it you don't know Flossie?
15:45So I'm proud of Richie's...
15:46I tell you, guy.
15:48Is that the cat that got iced?
15:50Isaiah, I'm asking the questions.
15:52Where is she?
15:55I know where she is.
15:57Where?
15:58Why do you want to know?
16:00Hey, she dresses up as a maid.
16:03You know, has this whole act.
16:04I'm into that kind of thing.
16:07Pretty boy like you
16:08could get any girl he wants.
16:09You like domestic service.
16:12Oh, don't be ashamed, man.
16:14We all got our kinks.
16:16Unfortunately,
16:16you're going to have to find
16:17another hazel to feather dust
16:19that sweet meat between your legs.
16:21Where is she?
16:23Flossie left the business.
16:25Became a Seventh-day Adventist.
16:27Last I heard,
16:28she took her child
16:28and moved to Washington State.
16:33Good for her.
16:35She got some of that
16:35good old-time religion,
16:37as some of the girls
16:38will do from time to time.
16:44I'm looking for a woman
16:45by the name of Flossie.
16:47I got a $100 bill
16:48for anyone who can tell me
16:49where to find her.
16:51All right.
16:59Thanks anyway.
17:01There's a hundred
17:01in it for you, too,
17:02if you hear anything.
17:04My man.
17:05I ask around.
17:18I got to call my man.
17:20If those guineas
17:21are looking for Flossie,
17:23that's bad news.
17:26Back so soon, Johnson?
17:28What is it this time?
17:29I want to end this rent strike,
17:32and I brought someone
17:33to help persuade you.
17:37Esther James.
17:39She's come here
17:39in the spirit of compromise.
17:41Where is my money?
17:43You owe me $211,000,
17:47and I want my money.
17:48Hello, Esther.
17:49Hello, Esther.
17:50And I'm tired of your sweet talk,
17:51too, Bumpy.
17:53I had an idea for how we could kill
17:55two birds with one stone,
17:57settle your rent strike,
17:58and end your proceedings
17:59with Esther James.
18:01She's willing to withdraw the case
18:03and settle for the sum of $1.
18:07Are you trying to bribe a congressman?
18:09No.
18:10I'm trying to stop this woman
18:12from tarnishing your legacy.
18:14I mean, it may seem like a joke to you,
18:16but she has that power.
18:18Really.
18:19Get out, both of you,
18:21right now,
18:22or I'll call the FBI.
18:26You can take that with you.
18:27Daddy, look.
18:49Mommy's the newspaper.
18:50Oh, yeah?
18:57You should be proud of your mom.
19:01What is it, Daddy?
19:03It's time to get to your homework.
19:05I think we had enough
19:06of this rent strike business for now.
19:13Good picture.
19:16Yeah, it was really quite a scene.
19:19Cops were attacking us.
19:20It was terrifying.
19:22But Doug Jones,
19:22he was there to protect you, right?
19:25He was there,
19:26where Delia and Lillian was there,
19:28Malcolm, lots of folks were there.
19:29I don't see Lillian's eyes around you.
19:33He intervened when a cop pushed me.
19:36You angry he was there
19:37that you weren't?
19:39Look, this is about
19:40fighting for tenant rights.
19:41Don't turn it into something it's not.
19:44I don't care about what it's not.
19:46I care about what it is.
19:49What is it?
19:54You remember what you said to me
19:55before they put you
19:56on that transport plane
19:57to Alcatraz in 52?
20:01Do what you gotta do,
20:03but do not ever disgrace me.
20:05I have never,
20:06ever disgraced you
20:07in public or otherwise.
20:08Okay, 11 years is a long time.
20:20And you're a beautiful,
20:23intelligent woman.
20:25But I need to know,
20:27do I have anything
20:28I need to worry about?
20:29Do I?
20:32What are you talking about?
20:33I could smell
20:37Amy Vanderbilt
20:38on your clothes
20:39last night.
20:40a $500 an ounce perfume
20:43as a way
20:44of announcing itself.
20:49She doesn't mean nothing.
20:54Showgirls
20:54and floozies
20:55mean nothing.
20:57Not the six wealthiest women
20:59in America
20:59who shares your love
21:00of literature.
21:01Look, you and I,
21:03we're a team.
21:04Rehabitiles is back
21:06from day one.
21:11That's not something
21:12that you're gonna see
21:13in that newspaper.
21:14I'm up.
21:44Come in
21:55The minister
21:57I brought you some food
22:00Well thank you sister
22:03But I'm not hungry
22:04Sorry but you don't have a choice
22:07You
22:10Ain't eaten since yesterday
22:12I'm gonna stuff it down your throat at 5-2
22:14I apologize
22:21Brother minister
22:23Sometimes I forget myself
22:24It's fine sister
22:25Apology accepted
22:26What's got you down?
22:37I'm overcome with the feeling
22:39That the white man is going to win
22:40We are outmanned
22:44Outweaponed
22:46And our philosophy
22:48Seems empty to me right now
22:51Because the messenger says
22:53We can't fight at the rent strike?
22:54That black self defense army
22:56That was us putting
22:57Words into action
22:59I must admit
23:03I feel discouraged
23:05Like you once said to me
23:11Stumbling is not falling
23:14Sissy there's a new patient
23:19And she's very sick
23:20Please come with me
23:22That's a little shot of way too fast
23:44Look at him
23:45You think you're on that dude G
23:47I'm just a simple dude
23:51With simple knees
23:52You know
23:52Bobby knew that
23:56Bobby Robinson
23:58Rest in peace
23:59Because when I get to love
24:01And I'm just a small
24:03As I can be
24:05Can we talk?
24:22Ladies give us a minute
24:23I'm sure give us a drink
24:27It's a nice little party you got going
24:42It's amazing how quick race got hot
24:53You and Bumpy really set me up right
24:55The royal court
24:57I'll always be grateful for that
25:02Keep hearing your voice playing on the radio
25:07All over the city
25:08Even got paid for it
25:12I know you're angry
25:15You should be
25:17You should also know
25:21What she means to me
25:22You don't know
25:25You don't know who me is what to you
25:26You're just a confused little white girl
25:30And I don't need you anymore
25:34You don't know who me is what to do
25:52You
25:53Yeah
25:53Get in the car
25:54$5 for a blow, $20 for everything else.
26:08$100 for the blow job, what do you say?
26:13Here's your money.
26:15No, you're going to tell me what I want to know.
26:19About what?
26:21I know you know something.
26:23I've seen the way you reacted at the club.
26:24It's a lot of money. You buy a lot of dope with that.
26:30No one knows you're here with me.
26:32It's easy money.
26:40Flossie used to see that Italian guy, Zambrano.
26:47He was real regular, but then she left town.
26:52Yeah, where did she go?
26:53She got family in Philly.
26:57I heard she went there, but somebody told me she came back to see her mama in Harlem.
27:03Where can I find her now? She work in these corners?
27:06I ain't seen her.
27:09You never know more about that.
27:10Not me.
27:11I just know she came back to Harlem.
27:18All right.
27:22Whoa, whoa, whoa.
27:23Where are you going?
27:24I'm going to give you $100 for a blow job.
27:26You're not finished.
27:27That was a joke, sweetie, though.
27:31Don't worry.
27:32You're beautiful, sister.
27:33Power wants to control all of those buildings.
27:57The government is just another form of the mafia.
28:00I mean, since when does the government care about our people?
28:04The window's coming.
28:06And I can give people immediate relief.
28:09Elise, where did Powell say the demonstration was going to be held today?
28:14625 on 17th Street.
28:17My offer to Powell is a fair one.
28:19Got to get people's homes fixed, turn the heat on, play some pipes.
28:24Yeah, well, when the offer comes from a consortium of Italian mobsters, I can understand his hesitancy.
28:30Better help the community.
28:32I mean, isn't that the point?
28:34I need you to help me convince.
28:35Mom?
28:37You.
28:40Enjoy.
28:42The sausage is gone.
28:44I got yours.
28:47You off the pork now, too?
28:48Yes, Daddy.
28:51I remember when you was a little girl.
28:53You used to love some bacon.
28:55I still do love it.
28:56I just don't eat it.
28:58The Koran forbids us the flesh of swine.
29:01You got to brainwash pretty well now.
29:03It's called devotion.
29:04It's called devotion.
29:04This is ridiculous.
29:17Is there nothing you can do?
29:18You have to do something.
29:20You can't let this happen.
29:20I'm sorry, sir.
29:22They must have paid off the precincts.
29:24My supervisor won't send any men.
29:25Take your hands off that man.
29:26This is private muscle, hired by the landlords.
29:29This is disgraceful.
29:30Look at the children.
29:32Wingate.
29:33I'm so sorry.
29:34I'll put this in your lap, Johnson.
29:38What are you talking about?
29:39Your paisans have sicked their goon squads on these good people, evicting them from their
29:44apartments.
29:45I can't be able to help these people, all right?
29:47Reverend Powell, perhaps in light of the coming winter, maybe we should consider Bumpy's proposal
29:52to help ease the suffering.
29:54The only suffering Bumpy wants to ease is his own.
29:58My lawyers have finally found out the true owners of Bowery Lane Holdings.
30:04Wingate, would you hand me the affidavit, please?
30:09These are just a few of the names of the real owners.
30:12Bonanno, Gigante, Lucchese, Genovese, Costello, Gambino, and here's one that doesn't end in
30:23a bow, Johnson.
30:25That'd be you.
30:27I have nothing to do with these codes, all right?
30:29You can explain that to the judge.
30:31He'll either get you for this, or he'll get you for tax evasion.
30:36Sister?
30:36Look, I have interest in Bowery Lane.
30:43Me and the Guineas, we bought some buildings in Harlem back in the 40s when we were tight.
30:47But my buildings, they're not slumps, all right?
30:53That would have been nice to know, brother, before you tried to use me.
31:01Oh, my God.
31:02Oh, my God.
31:03Ben!
31:05Ben, hurry!
31:06Hurry!
31:07Ben!
31:08Ben!
31:09Ben!
31:10Ben!
31:12Oh, my God.
31:13It's Ben!
31:13Where is she?
31:14She's up there in the middle of the room.
31:16Can't you call a doctor?
31:17Oh, no.
31:17I was waiting for you.
31:18I don't know what to do.
31:19All right.
31:20Call my guy.
31:21His name is Dr. Kogan.
31:22Tell him to meet us now!
31:28Stop!
31:31Oh, Jesus.
31:33Baby, baby, baby.
31:34Come here.
31:35Come here.
31:35Come here.
31:35Come here.
31:35Come here.
31:35Oh, Jesus.
31:38Steve.
31:39Come here, baby.
31:40Come here.
31:43Oh, Jesus.
31:45Oh, baby, please.
31:47Please.
31:48What'd you take?
31:50What'd you take?
31:51How many did you take?
31:56Stella?
31:59Stella, baby, please, please, please.
32:01Get some coffee.
32:03Bring some ice or something, please.
32:05I love you so much, please.
32:06I love you so much, okay?
32:07I love you so much.
32:09I'm sorry, all right?
32:10Forgive me, please.
32:11Malcolm, please.
32:12Please.
32:12I love you so much, please.
32:13I love you so much, please.
32:24I love you.
32:24Where were you?
32:26There's no need for that, Sister Marnie.
32:29Was Brother Malcolm on 117th Street?
32:33Oh, please, Sister.
32:35You know good and well.
32:36Minister Malcolm and I heard about the violence on the street.
32:39We went, but it wasn't anything planned.
32:42He didn't do anything.
32:48Should Malcolm have done something?
32:51No, dear Holy Apostle.
32:57I asked you to be my eyes and ears here at the mosque, Sister Elise.
33:02You did, dear Holy Apostle.
33:04Do you understand how important that mission is?
33:07For Malcolm's own protection, we need to know everything.
33:12He's only ever spoken of your glory, dear Holy Apostle.
33:15You are to report, without fail, to Sister Marnie anything you see or hear.
33:26I don't understand.
33:28Why would Flossie come back to Harlem when I gave her express orders not to come back here?
33:33Her mama's dying.
33:35Her last days.
33:35She wanted to come back and say goodbye.
33:40You gave her a whole new life when you paid to set her up in Philly.
33:43She found God, got herself right, really started raising that little girl of hers.
33:48If the Guineas are after Flossie, the chin is trying to prove that I killed Zambrano.
33:52Listen, Isaiah's got Flossie stashed at a hotel.
33:56Clyde's going to drive her down south for a while.
33:58We're going to put her up at Raleigh's Farm, just outside of Charleston.
34:01You don't good, no.
34:03You don't good, no.
34:04I'll be in touch.
34:11Now, a Prater.
34:16Have a seat.
34:17So drink those old fashions?
34:27You have a good memory.
34:29Don't mind if I do.
34:30I'm going to have a ginger ale, but I'll pour you a scotch.
34:38When was the last time we saw each other?
34:40Cotton Club, I think.
34:43Duke Ellington was playing.
34:45That was the night that you killed Jimmy Richards.
34:49Topped him up in a few pieces, if I recall.
34:52He was a good friend of mine.
34:54He owed money.
34:55Yeah.
34:58Why are you here?
35:00Powell's got the names of the Bowery Lane owners.
35:03The real owners.
35:05There's a paper trail that could prove tax fraud.
35:09But now I don't want to know what you're going to do about it.
35:12I'm working on it.
35:14That's not good enough.
35:16Or is that a threat?
35:18Not to you.
35:21It would not be wise to take out a sitting congressman.
35:25But now I don't agree.
35:27That's why he wants you to handle it.
35:29If you don't, we will.
35:44Stella.
35:45Stella, babe.
35:46Hey.
35:47Hey, you're going to be okay.
35:48Get away from me.
35:51Baby.
35:51Baby.
35:52You tried to have Teddy killed.
35:58And Lorenzo.
36:01Lorenzo, what are you talking about?
36:03Stop lying to me.
36:06I know what you've done.
36:10You're a monster.
36:11Look, I come in here, I see a light on the floor.
36:21My whole fucking life passed in front of my eyes.
36:23Every mistake I ever made, it ends like this.
36:27No, it's not going to end like this.
36:28Because there's nothing in the world I love more, I need more than you.
36:39Yes, I've done horrible things.
36:42Yeah.
36:44Will you leave Teddy alone?
36:49Yeah.
36:50Yeah, I swear on Jesus and the Holy Mother.
36:56And anything else you want me to swear on.
36:58Tell me what happened to Lorenzo.
37:03Well.
37:08You know, I always liked him.
37:11He was a good kid.
37:12Not too bright.
37:13But, you know.
37:15He was a good kid.
37:16You know, I knew that you were seeing him, you know, sneaking out after school.
37:22You forget, I got people that report back to me, right?
37:29And I know that you, that you got an abortion.
37:33And I think that you should have come to me.
37:37I was terrified what you might do.
37:41He was older than you.
37:42He should have known better.
37:44He didn't deserve to die.
37:46I'm protective.
37:58I didn't want him to put you through any more pain.
38:02Teddy.
38:06I loved him.
38:09Yeah.
38:10Yeah, I know.
38:17I know.
38:18Okay?
38:20And I'm sorry.
38:21All right?
38:24And I'm sitting there and I'm asking for your forgiveness.
38:27All right?
38:30You're my little pembina.
38:32Always been my little pembina.
38:34You're my first.
38:39Come on, come back to me, Stella.
38:42Baby.
38:44Hey.
38:46Come back.
38:48Come back to me.
38:49Mrs. Johnson.
38:59Hello, Roy.
39:00I saw your picture in the paper.
39:02It's admirable what you're doing.
39:04I could say the same for you.
39:06Congressman Powell is ready.
39:07Ah, Mrs. Johnson.
39:16Reverend.
39:17Pleasure to see you.
39:19Delightful.
39:20Uh, excuse us, Wayne Gate.
39:23Oh, you asked me to be in here.
39:25Uh, now I'm asking you to leave.
39:31Please, make yourself comfortable.
39:35I am here to promise you that Bumpy will settle his tax bill.
39:39And I would hope you won't mention him in court.
39:43Your husband is in cahoots with Italian mobsters
39:46who are laundering money, evading taxes, and ruining our city.
39:50His properties are not like theirs.
39:52You know that.
39:53Well, he hasn't paid his fair share.
39:56Someone has to pay my salary.
39:58He's willing to pay his taxes with interest.
40:00Bumpy Johnson is a criminal.
40:04How does he deserve a smart, good-looking, fine woman like you?
40:09It is easy to think that you hit a home run
40:12because you were born on third base.
40:15My husband grew up at a time where the path he chose
40:18was his best option.
40:20Don't put him in the same bag as the Italians.
40:22Mrs. Johnson,
40:39I just wanted to tell you that
40:43I came to Congressman Powell's aid
40:45because he asked for my help.
40:47Not out of any desire to
40:49step on your turf.
40:51It's quite all right.
40:53Has the good reverend made a move on you yet?
40:57Why now?
40:59You know how men are.
41:00They get tired of the filet mignon at home,
41:02so they go out for a greasy cheeseburger.
41:04I tried to convince him,
41:20but Powell isn't going to budge.
41:23They'll go to court tomorrow.
41:25It's going to spill our names.
41:26But we can fight this out legally
41:30because we got good lawyers, too.
41:33I agree.
41:37Your man down here, Prater,
41:39he said if I don't do it, then he will.
41:44What do you want me to do, whack the congressman?
41:47The one I like to whack
41:48is that Bobby Kennedy,
41:51that backstabbing Irish McDonkey motherfucker.
41:56But like you said,
41:57we got good lawyers.
42:00We're good, then.
42:02Fight us in court.
42:03We're good.
42:04We're good.
42:04We're good.
42:04We're good.
42:04We're good.
42:06We're good.
42:08We're good.
42:12We're good.
42:14We're good.
42:16You okay?
42:42I stood there today
42:45and watched tenants be brutalized
42:46and did nothing.
42:48Then Powell tells me
42:49that Bumpy is a slumlord,
42:50so no, sister, I'm not okay.
42:54My father's a gangster.
42:57So were you.
42:58And I love your father.
43:00I've always had a soft spot for him.
43:02I overlooked the choices Bumpy makes
43:03like I would those of no other man,
43:05simply because I've always believed
43:07he was fundamentally decent.
43:09But I'm telling you, sister,
43:10it is imperative that I recalculate
43:12based on his association
43:14with the very things
43:15that cause suffering in this community.
43:20I know dear Holy Apostle forbade you to act,
43:23but maybe my father can.
43:26Didn't you say the man
43:27White America fears most
43:28is the Negro gangster?
43:29I said that when the Black gangster
43:31gains a political consciousness,
43:32White America would drop to its knees.
43:34Then go to him.
43:36Get him to protect Powell and the tenants.
43:39Make the gangsta a political weapon.
44:02Get here, baby.
44:04We're gonna get you to South Carolina.
44:05Come on, get here.
44:06You're gonna regret this.
44:11No, sister.
44:12Bumpy Johnson's gonna regret this.
44:15Get in the car.
44:17You didn't have to hit him, Benny.
44:19He was drawing on you.
44:20He fucking knows me.
44:22He wouldn't have shot me.
44:23Jesus Christ.
44:24Somebody had to get his.
44:30And so,
44:32how did Bumpy approach you?
44:34He came up to me over at 22 West,
44:38asked me
44:39if I knew this Ambrano cat.
44:42And what'd you say?
44:45I said I knew him.
44:47Intimate-like.
44:49And then what?
44:53Promise me $1,000
44:54if I let him know
44:55when I was up with that boy again.
44:57If I could leave the door open and crack.
44:58And you said yes.
45:02Honey, I got three kids
45:03got to eat every single day.
45:05They don't take a day off
45:06when it come to food.
45:08You knew
45:09that Bumpy wanted to kill Sambrano.
45:11I ain't know nothing.
45:13I don't get in the folk business.
45:17Where'd you go afterwards?
45:19Bumpy thought it would be best
45:20if I move out of Harlem,
45:21go live with my kinfolk in Philly.
45:23Gave me another 500 for the move.
45:24Did you see Bumpy killed Sambrano?
45:31Call that motherfucker up.
45:34Come on.
45:42What good you gonna do to lie now?
45:49You gonna walk out the door?
45:52You guineas don't let people like me walk out.
45:54So being plain honest,
45:57I'm gonna say this.
45:58I saw Bumpy cut that peck of wood
46:00in the ribbons with his straight razor
46:02and I enjoyed every single minute.
46:05That cracker squealed like a motherfucking pig.
46:10Now take my ass out
46:11so I don't have to look at y'all ugly faces no more.
46:13So be so good you gonna do it.
46:14So like...
46:17No.
46:34So I don't have to look at you.
46:35This red-strike situation is heading toward disaster.
46:56Powell's life could be in danger to these hoodlums.
46:59If he goes to court, they could be exposed.
47:02He ain't dumb enough to touch you.
47:03And you trust what the Italians tell you.
47:08Every man has a legacy, whether they want one or not.
47:12What is yours going to be? How much money you have?
47:15Or will it be because of your larger service to the world and to your race
47:19that you left your community better than you found it?
47:23What is it you want from me, Mom?
47:28Get conscious, brother.
47:31Get conscious.
47:33Boss, can I ask you a question?
47:53What is it?
47:54You told me you had Bumpy Johnson shut down the protester fiddlers
48:00because of what was hiding in that basement.
48:03He knew you had something down there.
48:07Maybe Bumpy Johnson told Bonanno that you killed Lorenzo.
48:11You got to convince Bonanno that Bumpy was behind it all.
48:14Don't worry, smartass.
48:19Don't worry, smartass.
48:21I got it covered.
48:22This is 10-10 wins.
48:28You give us 22 minutes.
48:30We'll give you the world.
48:32In today's headlines,
48:34Congressman Adam Clayton Powell Jr.
48:36is due in federal court this morning
48:38for hearings on the Harlem tenant strike
48:40affecting over 5,000 people.
48:43Powell says he's going to make public a list
48:45of the secretive owners behind a shell company
48:48that has allowed slum conditions to flourish in the ghetto.
48:56Hey.
48:57Good morning, Calvin.
48:58Good morning, Rem.
48:59I didn't see you in church on Sunday.
49:00Well, I'll be there next week.
49:01They said he cold-blooded.
49:03This is one of Bumpy Johnson's filthy dope houses.
49:17I had to torture one of his friends, Bobby Robertson,
49:20find out where it was.
49:22We raided it this morning.
49:23Why am I here?
49:25I didn't kill Lorenzo.
49:27Your own daughter said you did.
49:29Nah.
49:30Bumpy forced it a lie to you.
49:31He wants your drug connection, right?
49:33He told her he was going to kill her.
49:37Evil is as evil does.
49:40Mama looked away, blamed it on his needle buzz.
49:43Sold the food out the freezer when he needed drugs.
49:46Begging like he cool, Jay, when he needed love.
49:49Yeah.
49:55Even when Bumpy Johnson was in prison,
49:58the niggas had to take sides.
50:00When we was at war in 57,
50:01Bumpy Johnson was helping Vito Genovese.
50:05And the niggas that killed your son,
50:07they was under Bumpy's control.
