00:09:06,542 --> 00:09:08,375
But nothing for 1939.
181
00:09:09,625 --> 00:09:12,000
So why is that year missing?
182
00:09:12,083 --> 00:09:14,542
"Fire. January 1939."
183
00:09:15,709 --> 00:09:19,166
Company stopped keeping
records after that.
184
00:09:19,250 --> 00:09:20,667
Fire must've really
wiped them out.
185
00:09:20,750 --> 00:09:22,208
They went out of business
a year later.
186
00:09:22,291 --> 00:09:24,291
If this fire cost lives,
newspapers would have
187
00:09:24,375 --> 00:09:26,208
carried accounts, right?
188
00:09:26,291 --> 00:09:27,291
Yeah.
189
00:09:27,375 --> 00:09:28,625
So maybe our milkman's
190
00:09:28,709 --> 00:09:30,166
in one of those newspapers?
191
00:09:36,166 --> 00:09:37,208
Are we sure this place
192
00:09:37,291 --> 00:09:39,458
got prostitution arrests
before 1950?
193
00:09:39,542 --> 00:09:42,000
(Rush)
'Hookers, homicides,
the works.'
194
00:09:42,083 --> 00:09:45,250
If Blanche got picked up,
we'll find her here.
195
00:09:45,333 --> 00:09:46,750
Wonder where she is now.
196
00:09:46,834 --> 00:09:49,375
Wherever hookers who
make it to 91 end up.
197
00:09:49,458 --> 00:09:51,750
Let's hope it
ain't
hooker heaven.
198
00:09:51,834 --> 00:09:54,166
"Debbins, Blanche."
199
00:09:54,250 --> 00:09:55,750
This our girl?
200
00:09:57,417 --> 00:09:59,500
Oh..
201
00:09:59,583 --> 00:10:01,583
She's a
dead-ringer
for this Blanche.
202
00:10:04,417 --> 00:10:07,792
"Arrested for
prostitution in 1940."
203
00:10:07,875 --> 00:10:10,875
"Delaney Manross
paid for her bail.
204
00:10:10,959 --> 00:10:12,125
Manross Delaney?
205
00:10:12,208 --> 00:10:14,709
The candyman?
206
00:10:14,792 --> 00:10:16,667
Delaney's Delights?
207
00:10:16,750 --> 00:10:18,375
You never had
a Delaney
Delight?
208
00:10:18,458 --> 00:10:19,709
No.
209
00:10:19,792 --> 00:10:22,875
Guy's got a candy
franchise,
been rakin' it in forever.
210
00:10:24,417 --> 00:10:26,625
Maybe our hooker's
moved up in the world, huh?
211
00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:30,500
[instrumental music]
212
00:10:36,875 --> 00:10:38,458
Blanche Debbins?
213
00:10:38,542 --> 00:10:40,792
I ain't used
that name in decades.
214
00:10:40,875 --> 00:10:42,041
What do you want, honey?
215
00:10:42,125 --> 00:10:44,709
Philadelphia Homicide,
Miss Blanche.
216
00:10:44,792 --> 00:10:46,834
And the police too.
217
00:10:46,917 --> 00:10:48,625
Make me feel young again.
218
00:10:48,709 --> 00:10:50,792
Honey, Manross.
219
00:10:50,875 --> 00:10:52,458
(Manross)
'I'm watching
my talk show, honey!'
220
00:10:52,542 --> 00:10:53,542
Well turn it off, honey.
221
00:10:53,625 --> 00:10:56,166
We got guests.
222
00:10:56,250 --> 00:10:57,750
'That was
the Depression, honey.'
223
00:10:57,834 --> 00:10:59,417
Times were hard all over
224
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:03,417
especially for colored women
comin' up alone from the
south.
225
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:05,875
You did what you could
to make ends meet.
226
00:11:05,959 --> 00:11:08,750
Today's young people
don't understand.
227
00:11:08,834 --> 00:11:10,291
Y'all help yourself.
228
00:11:11,542 --> 00:11:12,917
Try my number nine.
229
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,375
He gets on his high
horse sometimes.
230
00:11:15,458 --> 00:11:17,583
Don't mind him.
That's what I do.
231
00:11:17,667 --> 00:11:19,458
Isn't that right, candyman?
232
00:11:19,542 --> 00:11:23,750
Day she called me candyman,
I fell head over heels.
233
00:11:23,834 --> 00:11:26,917
Been fallin' for her ever since.
234
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,083
You know anything about
a trip Sadie was takin'
235
00:11:29,166 --> 00:11:31,208
to New York, Miss Blanche,
the night she was killed?
236
00:11:31,291 --> 00:11:33,875
She told us she
was going to
bed..
237
00:11:33,959 --> 00:11:35,083
...not to New York.
238
00:11:35,166 --> 00:11:37,166
Well, did Sadie
ever mention anyone
239
00:11:37,250 --> 00:11:39,917
maybe a milkman
she was afraid of?
240
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,041
That rebby boy.
241
00:11:41,125 --> 00:11:42,542
What's his name?
242
00:11:42,625 --> 00:11:45,041
Southern rebel wannabe.
243
00:11:45,125 --> 00:11:47,041
Wasn't more than
northern White
trash.
244
00:11:47,125 --> 00:11:48,417
What was his name?
245
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:50,709
I don't recall, honey.
246
00:11:50,792 --> 00:11:53,000
Pierce. That was his name.
247
00:11:53,083 --> 00:11:54,542
He had burns
all over his face.
248
00:11:54,625 --> 00:11:56,125
I'm tellin' the story, honey.
249
00:11:56,208 --> 00:12:00,583
He had burns all over his
face,
had it out for Sadie too.
250
00:12:00,667 --> 00:12:03,208
All because
of that damn milk.
251
00:12:06,542 --> 00:12:09,083
[jazz music]
252
00:12:22,458 --> 00:12:23,667
I ain't gettin' out.
253
00:12:23,750 --> 00:12:25,625
Not for no
colored whorehouse.
254
00:12:27,375 --> 00:12:29,792
Let 'em get
their
own damn milk.
255
00:12:29,875 --> 00:12:31,208
(Jonesy)
'Oh, here comes another one.'
256
00:12:31,291 --> 00:12:33,583
'Looks almost White, don't she?'
257
00:12:33,667 --> 00:12:36,250
[hooting]
258
00:12:36,333 --> 00:12:38,291
(Pierce)
'Come and get it!'
259
00:12:39,750 --> 00:12:42,000
Who that cooze
think she is, huh?
260
00:12:43,458 --> 00:12:45,166
- Hey, dump it.
- Huh?
261
00:12:45,250 --> 00:12:47,000
I said dump it, Jonesy.
262
00:12:48,333 --> 00:12:50,667
[jazz music]
263
00:13:00,291 --> 00:13:02,041
[chuckles]
264
00:13:02,125 --> 00:13:04,083
Let her clean it up.
265
00:13:09,375 --> 00:13:10,709
Don't.
266
00:13:14,792 --> 00:13:18,166
Sadie turned and walked
right back into the house
267
00:13:18,250 --> 00:13:20,667
and left that milk
out in the street.
268
00:13:20,750 --> 00:13:22,917
That other milkman
wasn't no better.
269
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,375
Didn't I say
I'm telling the story?
270
00:13:24,458 --> 00:13:27,208
This, uh, Pierce
cause any other trouble?
271
00:13:27,291 --> 00:13:29,333
Not that Sadie mentioned.
272
00:13:29,417 --> 00:13:32,375
I avoided him
and his milk truck after
that.
273
00:13:32,458 --> 00:13:34,917
But Sadie was afraid
he might hurt her.
274
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,875
Wrote about him in
a letter to her daughter.
275
00:13:36,959 --> 00:13:38,166
[scoffs]
276
00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:40,208
Honey, Sadie
couldn't read or write.
277
00:13:40,291 --> 00:13:41,917
'None of us could back then.'
278
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,625
But she sent letters
to her daughter.
279
00:13:44,709 --> 00:13:46,333
- Lots of them.
- 'Well..'
280
00:13:46,417 --> 00:13:48,250
She might have sent them..
281
00:13:48,333 --> 00:13:50,625
...but she sure
didn't write them.
282
00:13:56,291 --> 00:13:58,583
So who wrote
Sadie's letters?
283
00:13:58,667 --> 00:14:01,125
No one in the house
could read or write.
284
00:14:01,208 --> 00:14:02,583
A john maybe?
285
00:14:02,667 --> 00:14:03,667
Whoever it was, might've known
286
00:14:03,750 --> 00:14:04,959
more about the milkman.
287
00:14:05,041 --> 00:14:06,333
Well, if the milkman
was this guy Pierce
288
00:14:06,417 --> 00:14:08,208
then we might have the answer.
289
00:14:08,291 --> 00:14:10,000
Newspaper from 1939.
290
00:14:10,083 --> 00:14:11,834
Pierce McClintock
listed as a burn victim
291
00:14:11,917 --> 00:14:13,667
in the Baylor's Milk Company
fire.
292
00:14:13,750 --> 00:14:16,333
(Lilly)
'The same company delivered
milk to Sadie's boarding
house.'
293
00:14:16,417 --> 00:14:18,583
Yep. Fire was set
by pissed off White workers
294
00:14:18,667 --> 00:14:19,917
'when the company hired Blacks.'
295
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,208
Killed ten, injured
five more, including Pierce.
296
00:14:22,291 --> 00:14:26,041
But lucky for us,
newspapers back then
297
00:14:26,125 --> 00:14:27,458
printed the victims' addresses.
298
00:14:29,417 --> 00:14:32,291
(Nick)
"6922 North, 5th Street."
299
00:14:32,375 --> 00:14:34,917
We just gotta pray
that Pierce is still there.
300
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,709
'Well, yeah.'
301
00:14:36,792 --> 00:14:37,959
And I'll throw in a hail Mary
302
00:14:38,041 --> 00:14:39,500
if we find
who wrote this
letter.
303
00:14:41,083 --> 00:14:44,500
- So this is from 1939, huh?
- 'Interesting?'
304
00:14:44,583 --> 00:14:46,041
'Well, you can tell from
someone's' handwriting'
305
00:14:46,125 --> 00:14:47,083
'who they are?'
306
00:14:47,166 --> 00:14:48,875
No. Gender, age
307
00:14:48,959 --> 00:14:51,458
personality type,
region of origin.
308
00:14:51,542 --> 00:14:52,834
Pretty much, yeah.
309
00:14:52,917 --> 00:14:54,083
How?
310
00:14:54,166 --> 00:14:55,458
See these looped letters?
311
00:14:55,542 --> 00:14:58,041
Curved forms combined
with medium pressure
312
00:14:58,125 --> 00:15:00,750
are usually indicators
of femininity.
313
00:15:00,834 --> 00:15:02,291
Writer was female?
314
00:15:02,375 --> 00:15:03,709
Eh, best guess.
315
00:15:03,792 --> 00:15:07,500
Kinda KO's our
theory
of a john as the
writer.
316
00:15:07,583 --> 00:15:09,792
So who the hell
wrote this
letter?
317
00:15:09,875 --> 00:15:12,417
Give me a few hours,
I'll have an answer for you.
318
00:15:16,083 --> 00:15:17,792
What's that tell you?
319
00:15:17,875 --> 00:15:20,291
Ah. Firm.
320
00:15:20,375 --> 00:15:22,208
'Logical..'
321
00:15:23,458 --> 00:15:25,083
Running from something?
322
00:15:26,834 --> 00:15:28,458
(Will)
'So your grandfather
Pierce McClintock'
323
00:15:28,542 --> 00:15:29,500
owned this house?
324
00:15:29,583 --> 00:15:31,333
He passed away ten years ago.
325
00:15:31,417 --> 00:15:33,458
I inherited the house from him.
326
00:15:33,542 --> 00:15:38,417
I can't understand what he has
to do with this woman's murder.
327
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:40,291
Well, we don't
know either, Ms. Reilly.
328
00:15:40,375 --> 00:15:41,542
That's why we're here.
329
00:15:41,625 --> 00:15:43,500
He was a good man,
my grandfather.
330
00:15:43,583 --> 00:15:45,000
Not a murderer.
331
00:15:45,083 --> 00:15:47,417
So you'd agree to volunteer
your DNA to prove that?
332
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:49,125
I don't need to prove
that to anyone.
333
00:15:49,208 --> 00:15:50,500
We can get a search warrant.
334
00:15:50,583 --> 00:15:52,834
For what,
an old man's knickknacks?
335
00:15:52,917 --> 00:15:55,166
A dead man's diary?
336
00:15:55,250 --> 00:15:57,041
Pierce kept a diary?
337
00:15:58,750 --> 00:16:01,667
After the fire at Baylor's
Milk,
Pierce refers to something
338
00:16:01,750 --> 00:16:03,750
called The Fifth Day
in his diary.
339
00:16:03,834 --> 00:16:04,875
(Rush)
'The Fifth Day?'
340
00:16:04,959 --> 00:16:06,834
Mentioned it
a bunch of times.
341
00:16:06,917 --> 00:16:09,375
Don't you dare put
that in your mouth.
342

'I like Cheez Whiz on
my cheesesteak. So what?'
343

(Nick)
'Fifth Day sounds like'
344
00:16:14,667 --> 00:16:16,834
some sort of group
Pierce started.
345
00:16:16,917 --> 00:16:18,959
Guys from the milk place
injured in the fire.
346
00:16:19,041 --> 00:16:20,375
What'd they do?
347
00:16:20,458 --> 00:16:23,000
Doesn't say
but check that entry out.

00:16:45,625 --> 00:16:46,834
(Pierce)
'Dammit.'
356
00:16:46,917 --> 00:16:49,208
She didn't even pick 'em up.
357
00:16:49,291 --> 00:16:50,917
Look at that coon, will ya?
358
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,709
'Standing there like
she runs the joint.'
359
00:16:54,792 --> 00:16:56,417
Fifth Day oughta
teach her a lesson.
360
00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:59,959
Fifth Day is right. Take that
gleam outta that quiff's eye.
361
00:17:00,041 --> 00:17:03,041
'Go on, Jonesy.
You show her.'
362
00:17:11,333 --> 00:17:12,709
Here's your milk.
363
00:17:17,500 --> 00:17:21,667
So maybe Jonesy was
our evil milkman and not
Pierce.
364
00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:24,041
No Jonesy listed as
a victim in the fire.
365
00:17:24,125 --> 00:17:26,458
But all them Fifth Day guys
got
messed up in the fire, right?
366
00:17:26,542 --> 00:17:28,166
So how'd Jonesy
get involved with 'em?
367
00:17:28,250 --> 00:17:30,625
And what's he mean by The Fifth
Day oughta teach her a lesson?
368
00:17:30,709 --> 00:17:32,625
Maybe that's what
their little club did.
369
00:17:32,709 --> 00:17:35,000
'Teach lessons
to women like Sadie.'
370
00:17:35,083 --> 00:17:37,250
Let's check criminal records
for Pierce McClintock.
371
00:17:37,333 --> 00:17:40,125
Maybe his Fifth Day
activities made the books.
372
00:17:40,208 --> 00:17:42,208
Any word on the city
okaying the exhumation?
373
00:17:42,291 --> 00:17:43,208
Hmm..
374
00:17:43,291 --> 00:17:44,625
Kite's been in court all day.
375
00:17:44,709 --> 00:17:47,291
So ask him tonight.
376
00:17:48,583 --> 00:17:49,834
Or tomorrow.
377
00:17:55,583 --> 00:17:59,458
I've called you three
times about this exhumation.
378
00:17:59,542 --> 00:18:01,208
Closing arguments on
the Wicker job.
379
00:18:01,291 --> 00:18:05,542
Besides, you've ignored
a few of my calls lately
too.
380
00:18:05,625 --> 00:18:06,750
Been busy.
381
00:18:06,834 --> 00:18:09,333
Well, there you go.
We're both busy.
382
00:18:09,417 --> 00:18:11,709
Anyway, we got direction
on this job--
383
00:18:11,792 --> 00:18:13,041
From '39.
384
00:18:13,125 --> 00:18:14,041
So?
385
00:18:14,125 --> 00:18:15,625
So it's hard to make a case
386
00:18:15,709 --> 00:18:18,500
that the exhumation is
pressing,
you know what I mean?
387
00:18:18,583 --> 00:18:21,041
Maybe the judge should meet
the victim's granddaughter.
388
00:18:21,125 --> 00:18:22,041
It's pressing to her.
389
00:18:22,125 --> 00:18:23,709
Look, Fisk hasn't gotten to it
390
00:18:23,792 --> 00:18:26,500
but I'm guessing you'll
need more probable cause.
391
00:18:26,583 --> 00:18:27,875
City's strapped for cash.
392
00:18:27,959 --> 00:18:30,458
And this granddaughter
wants answers.
393
00:18:30,542 --> 00:18:32,125
Don't we all?
394
00:18:33,834 --> 00:18:36,834
- How're the cats, anyway?
- 'Good.'
395
00:18:36,917 --> 00:18:39,500
[telephone ringing]
396
00:18:47,417 --> 00:18:49,041
Call me.
397
00:18:49,125 --> 00:18:51,000
When you hear from Fisk, I mean.
398
00:18:51,083 --> 00:18:52,417
Sure.
399
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:54,041
(Scotty)
'Get anything
in criminal records?'
400
00:18:54,125 --> 00:18:56,041
Long rap sheet on Pierce.
401
00:18:56,125 --> 00:18:59,000
Assaults on males
and females, all Black.
402
00:18:59,083 --> 00:19:00,959
Victims claimed they were
attacked by a group
403
00:19:01,041 --> 00:19:02,750
of young White males.
404
00:19:02,834 --> 00:19:04,166
African American History Museum
405
00:19:04,250 --> 00:19:06,917
had a listing
of hate groups in '39.
406
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,875
They list The Fifth Day
as one in Philly.
407
00:19:08,959 --> 00:19:10,375
White supremacists.
408
00:19:10,458 --> 00:19:12,959
Took their name
from the Fifth Day of
Creation.
409
00:19:13,041 --> 00:19:15,000
"God said, Let us make man
in our image
410
00:19:15,083 --> 00:19:16,792
"and let him rule
over all the Earth."
411
00:19:16,875 --> 00:19:18,875
Meaning the White man of course.
412
00:19:18,959 --> 00:19:20,166
Mission was
to terrorize Blacks
413
00:19:20,250 --> 00:19:22,041
comin' up from the south
looking for jobs.
414
00:19:22,125 --> 00:19:24,208
Every fifth day
they'd go on a rampage.
415
00:19:24,291 --> 00:19:27,500
Beat up some Black person
for the crime of being
alive.
416
00:19:27,583 --> 00:19:28,625
Murder part of their game?
417
00:19:28,709 --> 00:19:30,417
Could be. Check it out.
418
00:19:31,208 --> 00:19:33,000
The Fifth Day.
419
00:19:33,083 --> 00:19:35,166
Meet Pierce, and
our friend
Jonesy.
420
00:19:38,959 --> 00:19:40,625
Jonesy don't look burned.
421
00:19:40,709 --> 00:19:42,625
Could have 'em where
the sun don't shine.
422
00:19:42,709 --> 00:19:44,750
Museum didn't have
last names on these clowns.
423
00:19:44,834 --> 00:19:48,333
ID'd 'em here only by their
monikers or first name.
424
00:19:48,417 --> 00:19:49,667
(Nick)
'We'll keep looking.'
425
00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:52,250
Lilly's still with the ADA?
426
00:19:52,333 --> 00:19:53,583
Our handwriting
expert came back
427
00:19:53,667 --> 00:19:55,542
'With a profile
of the letter writer.'
428
00:19:55,625 --> 00:19:57,375
It was a kid.
429
00:19:59,083 --> 00:20:00,542
The only child
in the boarding house
430
00:20:00,625 --> 00:20:01,917
was the owner's daughter.
431
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,375
Ten-years-old
at the time of the murder.
432
00:20:05,166 --> 00:20:07,291
I'll go pick up Lill.
433
00:20:19,041 --> 00:20:21,458
This was
Miss Sadie's favorite room.
434
00:20:28,208 --> 00:20:30,917
My mother took in boarders
during the Depression.
435
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,583
I hear this place
is a bed and breakfast now?
436
00:20:33,667 --> 00:20:36,709
Owners say it was okay
for us to come in.
437
00:20:36,792 --> 00:20:38,458
'Bring you back
to your old home.'
438
00:20:38,542 --> 00:20:40,709
I'm glad no one tore it down.
439
00:20:40,792 --> 00:20:42,792
Did you write
Sadie's letters here?
440
00:20:42,875 --> 00:20:44,792
I wrote them, yes.
441
00:20:44,875 --> 00:20:46,375
But the words were hers.
442
00:20:46,458 --> 00:20:49,333
'Her baby girl meant
the whole world to her.'
443
00:20:49,417 --> 00:20:53,125
Do you remember writing about
a milkman who might hurt Sadie?
444
00:20:53,208 --> 00:20:54,375
Jonesy.
445
00:20:55,291 --> 00:20:57,166
I remember him well.
446
00:20:57,250 --> 00:20:58,250
Why?
447
00:20:58,333 --> 00:21:00,542
Because of what
Sadie found in the milk.
448
00:21:01,917 --> 00:21:04,834

Why did she think
Jonesy would hurt her?

I think it was
her heart she meant.
493
00:24:08,417 --> 00:24:11,542
Did they exchange notes
the day she was killed?
494
00:24:11,625 --> 00:24:15,166
Jonesy wanted her
to meet him here that night.
495

For a proper visit.
496
00:24:17,917 --> 00:24:21,000
Miss Sadie kept
each and every note.
497
00:24:21,083 --> 00:24:23,959
Hid 'em behind the stove
where no one would look.
498
00:24:24,041 --> 00:24:25,291
No one ever found 'em.
499
00:24:25,375 --> 00:24:28,542
- Why not?
- Because I took 'em.
500
00:24:28,625 --> 00:24:30,500
Still have 'em too.
501
00:24:37,125 --> 00:24:39,667
"I was raised
by other people, Sadie.
502
00:24:39,750 --> 00:24:41,792
"Don't even know my own folks."
503
00:24:41,875 --> 00:24:43,333
Jonesy was an orphan?
504
00:24:43,417 --> 00:24:46,375
Maybe check the children's homes
in the area, look for his name.
505
00:24:46,458 --> 00:24:48,083
Mm-hmm.
506
00:24:48,166 --> 00:24:49,709
"I'll care for
your little girl
507
00:24:49,792 --> 00:24:51,500
"even if she ain't my own
508

"'cause she's like me.

"Every child deserves
to be loved."
510
00:24:58,792 --> 00:25:01,291
He wanted to make
a life with her.
511
00:25:01,375 --> 00:25:02,583
And take her kid in too.
512
00:25:02,667 --> 00:25:04,709
A real 180 from The Fifth Day.
513
00:25:04,792 --> 00:25:06,959
So was Sadie killed
by the man who hated her
514
00:25:07,041 --> 00:25:08,250
or the man who loved her?
515
00:25:08,333 --> 00:25:09,834
Pierce or Jonesy?
516
00:25:09,917 --> 00:25:11,917
Maybe something happened that
night at the boarding house
517
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,625
that turned the tide
of Jonesy's love.
518
00:25:13,709 --> 00:25:16,000
Love can turn on a dime.

(John)
'We know a candyman?'
520
00:25:18,792 --> 00:25:22,333
"Do you love me, Sadie,
or do you love the candyman?"
521
00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:31,083
Blanche's husband.
522
00:25:34,667 --> 00:25:37,583
Blanche and I, we..
523
00:25:37,667 --> 00:25:40,000
...just started dating..
524
00:25:40,083 --> 00:25:42,083
...and I, uh..
525
00:25:42,166 --> 00:25:44,625
...had a little crush on Sadie.
526
00:25:44,709 --> 00:25:47,083
Don't you
do this to me, Manross.
527
00:25:47,166 --> 00:25:49,834
We can talk somewhere else if
that would make it easier.
528
00:25:49,917 --> 00:25:52,250
I was young.
529
00:25:52,333 --> 00:25:53,417
Foolish.
530
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:57,792
Thought I could have

I remember how she died.
707
00:34:21,583 --> 00:34:23,750
Cops back then
said it was a john.
708
00:34:23,834 --> 00:34:27,583
Oh, no, she wasn't a prostitute.
709
00:34:27,667 --> 00:34:30,083
'She lived in that house
'cause she had to.'
710
00:34:31,291 --> 00:34:34,375
Times were rough back then.
711
00:34:34,458 --> 00:34:36,417
She didn't make her
living hustlin'?
712
00:34:38,542 --> 00:34:40,792
Sadie was a lady.
713
00:34:40,875 --> 00:34:42,917
I gave her some money
from time to time.
714
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,583
Of course
she couldn't tell anybody
715
00:34:45,667 --> 00:34:47,625
where she was getting it from.
716
00:34:47,709 --> 00:34:49,583
Times being what they were.
717
00:34:49,667 --> 00:34:50,750
Yeah.
718
00:34:50,834 --> 00:34:53,834
And you being in love.
719
00:34:53,917 --> 00:34:55,959
(Frankie)
'Who the hell is Sadie?'
720
00:34:58,792 --> 00:35:00,000
You know, her..
721
00:35:00,083 --> 00:35:01,750
...her little girl
ought to know
722
00:35:01,834 --> 00:35:04,500
that her mama was a lady.
723
00:35:04,583 --> 00:35:07,250
(Scotty)
'She's dead.'
724
00:35:07,333 --> 00:35:08,667
Sadie's daughter.
725
00:35:08,750 --> 00:35:10,500
Night of Sadie's murder..
726
00:35:10,583 --> 00:35:14,125
...you wanted her
to leave town with you. Why?
727
00:35:17,417 --> 00:35:19,542
Because they were coming.
728
00:35:20,208 --> 00:35:22,834
(Scotty)
'Who?'
729
00:35:22,917 --> 00:35:24,333
Them.
730
00:35:26,709 --> 00:35:27,834
They were coming.
731
00:35:27,917 --> 00:35:30,500
(Pierce)
'So then, I says to her'
732
00:35:30,583 --> 00:35:34,750
that you may look almost
white,
but you is black as midnight.
733
00:35:34,834 --> 00:35:37,375
[laughing]
734
00:35:41,417 --> 00:35:43,291
Jonesy over there
don't think I'm funny.
735
00:35:43,375 --> 00:35:46,709
(male #2)
'Oh, that's 'cause he's
givin'
her his mornin' milk.'
736
00:35:46,792 --> 00:35:49,875
Time that bitch got a real
taste of White man's milk.
737
00:35:49,959 --> 00:35:50,875
'Yeah..'
738
00:35:50,959 --> 00:35:51,834
[laughing]
739
00:35:51,917 --> 00:35:53,542
Ain't that right, Jonesy?
740
00:35:55,333 --> 00:35:56,792
- Damn right.
- 'Yeah!'
741
00:35:56,875 --> 00:36:00,417
Fifth Day's rollin',
boys tonight!
742
00:36:00,500 --> 00:36:02,458
(all)
Tonight!
743
00:36:08,542 --> 00:36:09,875
Sadie?
744
00:36:09,959 --> 00:36:12,917
Sadie! Sadie!
745
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,458
I tried to save her
but she wouldn't go.
746
00:36:16,542 --> 00:36:19,250
I begged her
but she wouldn't go.
747
00:36:20,875 --> 00:36:22,834
And I left.
748
00:36:22,917 --> 00:36:26,250
A man loves a woman,
and leaves her to that?
749
00:36:28,250 --> 00:36:31,041
All this was forever ago.
Why you care now?
750
00:36:31,125 --> 00:36:33,250
Because a woman died..
751
00:36:33,333 --> 00:36:36,083
...and a family
wants to know why.
752
00:36:36,166 --> 00:36:39,458
And because what happens
in the past
753
00:36:39,542 --> 00:36:42,625
never really
goes away, does it?
754
00:36:45,250 --> 00:36:47,500
No, it don't.
755
00:36:47,583 --> 00:36:48,792
My grandpa didn't do nothin'.
756
00:36:51,625 --> 00:36:54,208
Would you volunteer your DNA..
757
00:36:54,291 --> 00:36:55,458
'...to prove that?'
758
00:36:55,542 --> 00:36:58,500
We got a sister lab
here in New York.
759
00:36:58,583 --> 00:37:00,792
It'll take a few minutes
to run your DNA.
760
00:37:00,875 --> 00:37:02,208
And we can go right now.
761
00:37:02,291 --> 00:37:05,959
'He'll do it.'
Right, Grandpa?
762
00:37:07,542 --> 00:37:10,166
I'll get your coat.
He didn't do nothin'.
763
00:37:11,875 --> 00:37:13,041
(Lilly)
'We'll settle this whole
thing'
764
00:37:13,125 --> 00:37:15,166
in four or five minutes,
Mr. Jones.
765
00:37:15,250 --> 00:37:18,291
Lab's got a process called, uh..
766
00:37:18,375 --> 00:37:20,458
...Electronic DNA Sampling.
767
00:37:20,542 --> 00:37:21,667
EDS for short.
768

a question, ask it.

775
00:37:43,458 --> 00:37:44,792

00:37:51,917 --> 00:37:53,875
I'm ready.
778
00:37:55,458 --> 00:37:57,667
Go ahead and ask your question.
779
00:37:57,750 --> 00:37:59,333
(Scotty)
'What happened..'
780
00:37:59,417 --> 00:38:01,542
...the night Sadie was killed?
781
00:38:05,041 --> 00:38:06,291
You gotta leave with me now.
782
00:38:06,375 --> 00:38:07,667

the tickets

00:38:07,750 --> 00:38:09,083

in half an hour.
784
00:38:09,166 --> 00:38:11,500
We go now,
we can make it, Sadie.
785
00:38:11,583 --> 00:38:14,083
I want to, but
why
it gotta be
tonight?

We gotta go.
789
00:38:27,208 --> 00:38:30,375
- The train to New York is--
- New York?
790
00:38:30,458 --> 00:38:33,208
But my daughter
lives in Virginia.
791
00:38:33,291 --> 00:38:34,667
We'll send for her.
792
00:38:34,750 --> 00:38:36,500
You promised we was gonna
be a family together.
793
00:38:36,583 --> 00:38:38,667
We will, but we gotta go now.
794
00:38:38,750 --> 00:38:41,667
What about her?
What about her, Jonesy?
795
00:38:47,875 --> 00:38:49,917
That's, uh..
796
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,542
That's your daughter?
797
00:38:51,625 --> 00:38:55,625
You promised to care for her
like she was your own, remember?
798

''Cause every child
deserves lovin'.'

You, uh..

...never showed
me that before.
802
00:39:08,917 --> 00:39:11,458
Why won't you
look at her, Jonesy?
803
00:39:14,667 --> 00:39:18,333
You and me, we can
make it together
804
00:39:18,417 --> 00:39:19,750
because no one
will know, Sadie.
805
00:39:19,834 --> 00:39:21,166
No one'll know what you are.

pass.

Shut up!

She can't pass but you can.
809
00:39:26,041 --> 00:39:27,291
And-and we can have
a life together
810
00:39:27,375 --> 00:39:28,417
and no one'll ever know.
811
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:30,041
Shut up!
