is little slick.

violation issued in May.

If you have questions,
159
00:09:07,129 --> 00:09:09,674
perhaps you should
speak with Brother Minister.

I'm sorry you weren't informed.
162
00:09:22,436 --> 00:09:25,231
I know you and Malcolm
have been having,
163
00:09:26,065 --> 00:09:28,276
marriage is complicated.
164
00:09:28,359 --> 00:09:33,614

I got mixed up.

That's all.

Please forgive me for
interrupting your class.

may I have a moment with
170
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,723

Why is Grace teaching my class?
172

And why didn't you tell
me about it before we got

00:10:13,988 --> 00:10:15,364
to the temple?
174
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:17,700
MALCOLM X: I have a million
things on my mind, Betty.
175
00:10:17,783 --> 00:10:20,453
I forgot.
176
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,416
But as for your class, you
will no longer be teaching it.
177
00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:27,877
I would like you home
with baby Attallah.
178
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,253
BETTY X: But I like teaching.
179
00:10:29,337 --> 00:10:30,755
It, it gives me purpose.
180
00:10:30,838 --> 00:10:32,840
It connects me to the
women and to the temple.
181
00:10:32,923 --> 00:10:35,343
MALCOLM X: Your purpose
is to be my wife and
182
00:10:35,426 --> 00:10:37,887
stay at home,
taking care of my child.
183
00:10:37,970 --> 00:10:40,640
BETTY X: Our child.
184
00:10:40,931 --> 00:10:44,018
Look, can we, can
we talk about this?
185
00:10:44,101 --> 00:10:45,770
MALCOLM X: Get your things.
186
00:10:45,853 --> 00:10:48,939
BETTY X: Fine.
We can talk about it later.
187
00:10:50,983 --> 00:10:54,070
MALCOLM X: I'll take you home.
188
00:10:59,617 --> 00:11:01,122
KING SR.: Hey, y'all know
Mr. Morris Abram?
189
00:11:01,202 --> 00:11:02,662
MAN: Yeah.
MAN 2: Oh, yes.
190
00:11:02,745 --> 00:11:04,709
KING SR.: Morris is gonna be
heading up Martin's case now.
191
00:11:04,789 --> 00:11:07,291
And like I said, I want
everyone in the congregation,
192
00:11:07,375 --> 00:11:10,670
everyone in the congregation
making calls to the state
193
00:11:10,753 --> 00:11:12,880
congressman and
the city council.
194
00:11:13,130 --> 00:11:15,675
We need to raise awareness of
Martin's situation, you hear?
195
00:11:15,758 --> 00:11:18,552
CORETTA: You know, I can
make some calls as well.
196
00:11:20,262 --> 00:11:23,432
Martin and I were just talking
about our friend Harris Wofford,
197
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:25,643
who works over at
Senator Kennedy's campaign.
198

00:11:32,650 --> 00:11:34,402

201
00:11:34,485 --> 00:11:39,365

on a trip and he'll be back

203

And then he will
take you to the zoo.

Oh, baby.
I miss Daddy too.
205
00:11:50,167 --> 00:11:53,671
Oh, listen, I'm going to
finish helping Grandpa and
206
00:11:53,754 --> 00:11:55,923

and tuck you in the bed

Go ahead, mommy will be
in and tuck you in a minute.

KING SR.: Why don't you
go on and get her to bed?

Honorable Elijah Muhammad

teaches that a good wife and a
righteous home is the structure
235

that the Black man and the
nation build their power around.

be so much hate.

information I have because
338

What is so appealing
about your Nation?
342

343

uh, honored and,
and protected even.
344
00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:37,254
And that is what
the Nation is about.
345
00:21:37,337 --> 00:21:40,799
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad
teaches that we should love
346
00:21:40,882 --> 00:21:44,428
ourselves and our people
enough to support each other.
347
00:21:44,511 --> 00:21:46,763
That dignity and
respect are ours by right
348
00:21:46,847 --> 00:21:49,349
and that as intelligent people,
349
00:21:49,433 --> 00:21:52,394
we should be
obliged to defend that.

00:21:52,894 --> 00:21:56,690
MALLOY: You make it
sound very uplifting.
351
00:21:58,692 --> 00:22:00,569
(phone ringing)
352
00:22:00,652 --> 00:22:02,529
Excuse me.
353
00:22:02,612 --> 00:22:05,615
BETTY X: If it's Malcolm,
tell him I've gone to bed.
354
00:22:05,699 --> 00:22:11,830
(phone ringing)
355
00:22:17,586 --> 00:22:19,129
MALLOY: Malloy residence.
356
00:22:19,212 --> 00:22:21,631
Yes, Ms. Peck.
357
00:22:38,398 --> 00:22:40,317
SISTER JEAN: Haven't
seen you here before.
358
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,487
BETTY X: Oh, this isn't
my regular Temple.
359
00:22:43,570 --> 00:22:46,406
SISTER JEAN: Hmm. A pilgrim.
360
00:22:46,490 --> 00:22:48,533
Welcome.
361
00:22:49,493 --> 00:22:53,205
BETTY X: I thought I'd pop in.
362
00:22:53,288 --> 00:22:56,249
Temple usually grounds me.
363
00:22:56,333 --> 00:23:00,379
SISTER JEAN: Not anymore?
BETTY X: I've been struggling.
364
00:23:02,589 --> 00:23:05,967
I agree with the
teachings but sometimes,
365
00:23:06,468 --> 00:23:08,762
all the rules on how
we're supposed to live and
366
00:23:08,845 --> 00:23:10,931
who we're supposed to be.
367
00:23:11,848 --> 00:23:13,478
SISTER JEAN: Well, that's
because you have to make the
368
00:23:13,558 --> 00:23:16,061
world work for you, dear.
369
00:23:16,144 --> 00:23:18,355
If the rules aren't
made to help you,
370
00:23:18,438 --> 00:23:21,733
put them down and make your own.
371
00:23:21,817 --> 00:23:24,111
It's a delicate dance
'cause this world been trying
372
00:23:24,194 --> 00:23:26,696
to take a sister out.
373
00:23:29,032 --> 00:23:32,369
Hold fast to Him and He'll
guide a straight path.
374
00:23:35,038 --> 00:23:36,748
SISTER: I mean girl,
he is a communist.
375
00:23:36,832 --> 00:23:38,208
How does that make us look?
376
00:23:38,291 --> 00:23:40,710
Our Minister hugged up on
Castro all in the papers.
377
00:23:40,794 --> 00:23:42,341
SISTER 2: You're not wrong,
that Brother Malcolm does seem
378
00:23:42,421 --> 00:23:44,923
to like to have
his picture taken.
379
00:23:46,258 --> 00:23:49,177
SHABAZZ: I think any attention
is good for the Nation.
380
00:23:49,261 --> 00:23:50,429
It gets the message out.
381
00:23:50,512 --> 00:23:52,556
Let folks know there are
alternative ways for us.
382
00:23:52,639 --> 00:23:53,890
SISTER: Hmm.
383
00:23:53,974 --> 00:23:56,643
Still, he was all over
the TV acting like he was
384
00:23:56,726 --> 00:23:58,103
running the Nation.
385
00:23:58,186 --> 00:24:00,108
SISTER JEAN: "Do not concern
yourself with things about
386
00:24:00,188 --> 00:24:02,899
which you have no knowledge.
387
00:24:02,983 --> 00:24:06,236
Verily, your hearing,
sight, and heart,
388
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:09,948
all of them could be
called to account."
389

Sister Betty.
390
00:24:15,745 --> 00:24:18,373
Is Brother Malcolm here as well?
391
00:24:19,166 --> 00:24:22,085
BETTY X: Uh, I'm not
on an official visit.
392
00:24:22,169 --> 00:24:25,046
I'm just seeing family.
393
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:27,424
Um, sadly, Brother Malcolm
couldn't join me but he'd be
394
00:24:27,507 --> 00:24:31,303
thrilled to know how much he
is admired here in Detroit.
395
00:24:33,889 --> 00:24:36,475
TEACHER: Oh, would you please
come say hello to our Minister?
396
00:24:36,558 --> 00:24:37,851

He's been teasing Yoki

Violence is never the answer.

422

MALLOY: Are you making a call?
427
00:26:37,679 --> 00:26:41,641
BETTY X: I'm just, I'm just
checking to see if it's working.
428
00:26:42,309 --> 00:26:44,728
MALLOY: Why did I
agree to do this?
429
00:26:44,811 --> 00:26:46,438
Come help?
430
00:26:46,521 --> 00:26:49,232
The Housewives League
and the NAACP are hosting
431
00:26:49,316 --> 00:26:52,819
a fundraiser tea and
fashion show next week.
432
00:26:52,902 --> 00:26:55,905
Too bad you won't
be here to attend.
433
00:26:55,989 --> 00:26:58,408
BETTY X: I left Malcolm.
434
00:26:59,284 --> 00:27:02,037
MALLOY: So, you will
be able to attend?
435
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:03,580
BETTY X: I don't know.
436
00:27:03,663 --> 00:27:06,207
Uh, I don't know what I'm doing.
437
00:27:06,291 --> 00:27:08,668
And I know I couldn't stay.
438
00:27:08,752 --> 00:27:10,670
Four years ago, I was
supposed to be a nurse,
439
00:27:10,754 --> 00:27:13,131
and now I don't recognize
my life or my place in it.
440
00:27:13,214 --> 00:27:14,466
MALLOY: Slow down, Betty.
441
00:27:14,549 --> 00:27:15,762
BETTY X: Malcolm took
away me class and he won't
442
00:27:15,842 --> 00:27:16,926
talk about it.
443
00:27:17,010 --> 00:27:18,431
I don't know how to
make him understand,
444
00:27:18,511 --> 00:27:21,431
and he hasn't even called to
see if Attallah and I are okay.
445
00:27:21,514 --> 00:27:24,267
This is the man that I have to
spend the rest of my life with.
446
00:27:24,351 --> 00:27:25,564
MALLOY: Betty, I
don't understand.
447
00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:28,104
BETTY X: I don't know
how to be a wife!
448
00:27:28,188 --> 00:27:29,898
The first time we
were alone together was
449
00:27:29,981 --> 00:27:32,525
on our wedding night,
and now we have a child?
450
00:27:32,609 --> 00:27:35,570
And then, there's all the
politics of the Nation.
451
00:27:35,654 --> 00:27:36,783
MALLOY: Betty, I don't know
what you want me to
452
00:27:36,863 --> 00:27:37,989
tell you now.
453
00:27:38,073 --> 00:27:40,158
BETTY X: I want you to
tell me how to do this.
454
00:27:40,241 --> 00:27:42,035
How do I make this all work?
455
00:27:42,118 --> 00:27:44,704
MALLOY: You didn't consult
me when you made the decision
456
00:27:44,788 --> 00:27:46,414
to convert to a new religion.
457
00:27:46,498 --> 00:27:49,959
Or to marry a man
that I barely knew.
458
00:27:50,043 --> 00:27:53,213
You turned your back on
everything we taught you,
459
00:27:53,296 --> 00:27:56,132
and now that it's falling apart,
460
00:27:56,216 --> 00:27:59,094
maybe if you had become a
nurse and married a doctor.
461
00:27:59,177 --> 00:28:00,765
BETTY X: You stopped paying
my nursing school tuition.
462
00:28:00,845 --> 00:28:02,225
MALLOY: And, and, and
stayed in the church
463
00:28:02,305 --> 00:28:04,683
and had a life I
could understand.
464
00:28:04,766 --> 00:28:07,060
Maybe then I could advise you.
465
00:28:07,143 --> 00:28:12,607
But I honestly don't know
what to tell you, Betty.
466
00:28:14,150 --> 00:28:18,279
Find the good and praise it.
467
00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:22,075
Perhaps you can start there.
468
00:28:22,367 --> 00:28:25,787
BETTY X: Um, excuse me.
469
00:28:26,037 --> 00:28:27,956
I feel a headache coming on.
470
00:28:28,039 --> 00:28:30,917

SANDERS: I resented you.
I had made a life for myself.
508
00:31:53,494 --> 00:31:57,665
New husband, new children,
far away from Georgia,
509
00:31:58,124 --> 00:32:01,294
from your father.
510
00:32:01,377 --> 00:32:04,213
Every time I looked at you,
I felt like that lost,
511
00:32:04,297 --> 00:32:08,176
trapped 16-year-old girl who
had thrown everything away.
512

And I was not good to you
and I prayed on it hard.
516
00:32:26,861 --> 00:32:31,574
Then you ran to the Malloys
when they agreed to take you.
517
00:32:31,658 --> 00:32:34,243
It was like a
weight being lifted.
518
00:32:34,327 --> 00:32:37,830
And I know how that sounds,
how it looks,
519
00:32:37,914 --> 00:32:41,960
abandoning your child,
but I couldn't live.
520
00:32:42,210 --> 00:32:45,922
All that hurt and anger.
521
00:32:46,005 --> 00:32:49,008
I deserved better.
522
00:32:50,843 --> 00:32:53,221
So did you.
523
00:32:59,310 --> 00:33:02,689
CORETTA: Senator Kennedy,
how may I help you?
524
00:33:02,939 --> 00:33:04,232
KENNEDY: That's my line.
525
00:33:05,984 --> 00:33:08,361
Uh, Harris here was telling
me about Dr. King and
526
00:33:08,444 --> 00:33:10,196
I was calling to see
how you were doing.
527
00:33:10,655 --> 00:33:12,035
KENNEDY (over phone):
Jacquline is also pregnant and
528
00:33:12,115 --> 00:33:15,076
I can only imagine how
tough this would be on her.
529
00:33:15,159 --> 00:33:17,078
Is there anything
I can do to help?
530
00:33:18,454 --> 00:33:22,291
CORETTA: Thank you, Senator,
for your thoughtfulness.
531
00:33:22,375 --> 00:33:24,295
If you could take a look
into Martin's situation,
532
00:33:24,377 --> 00:33:26,254
I would really appreciate it.
533
00:33:26,337 --> 00:33:28,259
COLLINS: I'd appreciate it
if you change your tone.
534
00:33:28,339 --> 00:33:29,886
MALCOLM X: I'd appreciate
if you stayed out
535
00:33:29,966 --> 00:33:32,385
of my marriage.
536
00:33:32,468 --> 00:33:33,845
I don't understand your concern,
537
00:33:33,928 --> 00:33:36,723
especially since you
don't like my wife.
538
00:33:37,557 --> 00:33:39,392
COLLINS: It doesn't
matter if I like her.
539
00:33:39,475 --> 00:33:41,602
She's good for you.
540
00:33:41,686 --> 00:33:44,188
Tongues are wagging
about her little trip and
541
00:33:44,272 --> 00:33:45,940
your status is growing,
542
00:33:46,024 --> 00:33:49,318
which puts a
target on your back.
543
00:33:50,028 --> 00:33:52,155
This rupture doesn't
look good, Malcolm.
544
00:33:52,238 --> 00:33:53,990
So, I will repeat.
545
00:33:54,073 --> 00:33:55,658
Have you talked to Betty?
546
00:33:55,742 --> 00:33:58,202
MALCOLM X: She hasn't called
and I haven't had the time.
547
00:33:58,286 --> 00:33:59,996
You know the pressure I'm under.
548
00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:02,415
COLLINS: I do, but you
have to put family first.
549
00:34:04,834 --> 00:34:06,381
Who do you think is being
served by this unflinching
550
00:34:06,461 --> 00:34:08,254
devotion to the Nation and the
551
00:34:08,337 --> 00:34:10,131
Honorable Elijah Muhammad?
552
00:34:10,214 --> 00:34:12,633
Hmm?
Certainly not your people.
553
00:34:12,717 --> 00:34:14,510
First, it was Reginald,
then it was Evelyn,
554
00:34:14,594 --> 00:34:15,598
now with Betty is
the latest victim?
555
00:34:15,678 --> 00:34:16,846
MALCOLM X: Enough, Ella Mae.
556
00:34:16,929 --> 00:34:18,017
COLLINS: Listen, the
Honorable Elijah Muhammad
557
00:34:18,097 --> 00:34:19,098
is not who you think.
558
00:34:19,182 --> 00:34:20,933
MALCOLM X: Enough!
559
00:34:21,684 --> 00:34:22,935
Please.
560
00:34:23,269 --> 00:34:25,188
(scoffs)
561
00:34:25,271 --> 00:34:29,150
COLLINS: Malcolm,
you have vision,
562
00:34:29,233 --> 00:34:31,194
but you don't see.
563
00:34:31,277 --> 00:34:33,988
MALCOLM X: Sister, if
you are having doubts about
564
00:34:34,072 --> 00:34:36,491
the Nation and the
Honorable Elijah Muhammad,
565
00:34:36,574 --> 00:34:39,285
then perhaps you
should step away.
566
00:34:39,368 --> 00:34:41,662
COLLINS: Are you suspending me,
Brother Minister?
567
00:34:41,746 --> 00:34:44,707
MALCOLM X: I think
it's best if you leave.
568
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,546
COLLINS: Very well.
569
00:34:58,471 --> 00:35:02,016
Open your eyes, Malcolm,
and go see your wife.
570
00:35:10,441 --> 00:35:11,818
(thud)
571
00:35:24,247 --> 00:35:25,710
MALLOY: Oh, sorry.
I didn't mean to disturb you.
572
00:35:25,790 --> 00:35:28,042
BETTY X: It's fine.
573
00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:33,381
MALLOY: How was your walk?
574
00:35:33,506 --> 00:35:38,553
BETTY X: Good.
I, um, I saw my mother.
575
00:35:40,972 --> 00:35:44,475
MALLOY: Oh.
How is Ollie Mae?
576
00:35:45,226 --> 00:35:49,939
BETTY X: She's well.
It was, uh...
577
00:35:50,481 --> 00:35:53,317
MALLOY: It's been
all quiet here.
578
00:35:53,401 --> 00:35:55,987
No calls.
579
00:36:04,036 --> 00:36:05,872
Betty...
580
00:36:10,459 --> 00:36:13,671
I am glad that
you came home to see me.
581
00:36:14,130 --> 00:36:17,758
Whatever is going on with you,
I am glad for that.
582
00:36:19,218 --> 00:36:22,138
BETTY X: Are you ever going
to stop being angry with me?
583
00:36:28,102 --> 00:36:33,858
MALLOY: Your pops and I
had so many plans for you.
584
00:36:36,611 --> 00:36:39,989
He was so excited to
walk you down the aisle.
585
00:36:40,948 --> 00:36:45,828
But children grow,
586
00:36:48,998 --> 00:36:51,334
make their own way.
587
00:36:51,417 --> 00:36:53,294
You'll see.
588
00:36:53,377 --> 00:36:55,588
No matter what they become,
589
00:36:55,671 --> 00:36:59,008
one does want them to be happy.
590
00:37:00,843 --> 00:37:05,890
Speaking of, I have some
lovely lamb chops that I got
591
00:37:05,973 --> 00:37:10,561
at a butcher on Brush Street
where the Muslim ladies go.
592
00:37:12,021 --> 00:37:15,358
I was wondering if
you'd like to cook.
593
00:37:18,277 --> 00:37:21,197
BETTY X: Sure.
MALLOY: Good.
594
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,872
BETTY X: Ma dear?
MALLOY: Yes?
595
00:37:31,707 --> 00:37:32,917
BETTY X: Thank you.
596
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,213
MALLOY: You don't ever
need to thank me, child.
597
00:37:38,589 --> 00:37:40,716
I love you.
598
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,806

cooking tonight, anyway.

teaches that a wife...
622
00:39:56,477 --> 00:39:58,646
BETTY X: Malcolm, please stop.
623
00:39:58,729 --> 00:40:00,981
I am not the Honorable
Elijah Muhammad's wife.
624
00:40:01,065 --> 00:40:03,818
I am your wife.
625
00:40:04,902 --> 00:40:07,279
What do you want?
626
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:12,284
MALCOLM X: I don't
know how to be married.
627
00:40:12,368 --> 00:40:16,997
BETTY X: Hmm. Me either.
628
00:40:17,998 --> 00:40:19,083
MALCOLM X: But I'm here.
629
00:40:19,166 --> 00:40:20,668
BETTY X: And I'm with you.
630
00:40:20,751 --> 00:40:22,128
Always.
631
00:40:22,211 --> 00:40:24,171
Since neither of us knows
what it is we're doing,
632
00:40:24,255 --> 00:40:27,675
we have to figure
this out together.
633
00:40:29,885 --> 00:40:32,179
It's Betty and Malcolm.
634
00:40:32,263 --> 00:40:33,389
Not Betty, Malcolm,
635
00:40:33,472 --> 00:40:35,224
and the
Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
636
00:40:35,307 --> 00:40:37,852
And...
637
00:40:39,478 --> 00:40:43,149
MALCOLM X: There's more?
BETTY X: Indeed there is.
638

My class.
639
00:40:48,237 --> 00:40:50,239
Malcolm, you can't
do that to me again.
640
00:40:50,322 --> 00:40:51,907
You can't tell me what to do.
641
00:40:51,991 --> 00:40:53,451
I am a whole person.
642
00:40:53,534 --> 00:40:55,578
And the choices in my
life cannot be small.
643
00:40:55,661 --> 00:40:58,706
And you can't make them for me.
644
00:40:58,789 --> 00:41:02,084
I need time to figure out
the kind of Muslim, wife,
645
00:41:02,168 --> 00:41:05,045
and mother I wanna be.
646
00:41:05,129 --> 00:41:07,756
I won't have it any other way.
647
00:41:08,048 --> 00:41:09,512

you home with our baby.
648

I don't trust anybody else.
649
00:41:11,051 --> 00:41:12,887
BETTY X: I understand, Malcolm.
650
00:41:12,970 --> 00:41:14,221
I will take care of it.
651
00:41:14,305 --> 00:41:17,600

protect our children.

gonna have more?

attempts will be made.
655
00:41:30,070 --> 00:41:33,115
I'm gonna try, Betty.

I'm sorry I left.

00:43:37,281 --> 00:43:40,200
the tears from my
daughter-in-law's eyes,
696
00:43:40,284 --> 00:43:42,745
then I have the courage
to vote for him.
697
00:43:42,828 --> 00:43:45,164
Catholic or not.
698
00:43:45,247 --> 00:43:48,208
(overlapping chatter).
699
00:43:48,292 --> 00:43:52,212
♪ Ooh, oh ♪♪
700
00:43:58,844 --> 00:44:00,057
COLLINS: I'm glad you came back.
701
00:44:00,137 --> 00:44:02,598
BETTY X: Are you?
702
00:44:03,932 --> 00:44:07,603
Ella Mae, you are
something else.
703
00:44:10,314 --> 00:44:12,232
Everyone knows.
704
00:44:12,316 --> 00:44:14,443
COLLINS: Today,
we make it official.
705
00:44:14,526 --> 00:44:16,528
I'm suspended for 90 days.
706
00:44:16,612 --> 00:44:19,531
I opted not to have
a big ceremony.
707
00:44:19,615 --> 00:44:20,741
BETTY X: I'm sorry.
708
00:44:20,824 --> 00:44:22,076
COLLINS: Are you?
709
00:44:22,159 --> 00:44:24,953
BETTY X: I am, for Malcolm.
He loves you.
710
00:44:25,037 --> 00:44:29,041
And I know, in your own way,
you love him too.
711
00:44:39,426 --> 00:44:41,929
COLLINS: Take care of him.
712
00:44:42,554 --> 00:44:46,058
BETTY X: I intend to.
713
00:44:49,812 --> 00:44:53,982
I've been thinking a lot
about the story of Hajar.
714
00:44:54,066 --> 00:44:57,444
How she was lost in the desert.
715
00:44:57,695 --> 00:45:00,531
Alone. Confused.
716
00:45:00,614 --> 00:45:03,659
Her and her child
dying of thirst.
717
00:45:03,742 --> 00:45:06,578
I imagine her fear.
718
00:45:06,662 --> 00:45:10,416
How could she make
a way out of no way?
719
00:45:10,666 --> 00:45:14,628
I imagine her faith
that kept her searching.
720
00:45:14,712 --> 00:45:17,923
Looking for a place of
refuge between the hills of
721
00:45:18,006 --> 00:45:19,842
Safa and Marwah.
722
00:45:19,925 --> 00:45:23,971
I am with her as she
clings to her love of Allah,
723
00:45:24,054 --> 00:45:27,683
her child, her family.
724
00:45:34,940 --> 00:45:36,859
CORETTA: This is
quite a spread, Martin.
725
00:45:36,942 --> 00:45:38,902
I'm surprised you had
the energy to cook.
726
00:45:38,986 --> 00:45:41,280
KING JR.: Well,
they didn't feed me.
727
00:45:42,114 --> 00:45:45,492
They also didn't tell me
where I was going in
728
00:45:45,576 --> 00:45:48,370
the middle of the night
when they moved me.
729
00:45:49,204 --> 00:45:52,166
We drove for hours and
they didn't say a word.
730
00:45:52,708 --> 00:45:56,128
They had me in the back
with the police dogs.
731
00:45:57,296 --> 00:45:58,801
CORETTA: I don't know
why they just can't treat
732
00:45:58,881 --> 00:46:00,257
people with dignity.
733
00:46:00,340 --> 00:46:02,217
KING JR.: Hmm.
734
00:46:02,301 --> 00:46:04,928
I was tempted to ask the
dog where I was going.
735
00:46:05,012 --> 00:46:06,513
CORETTA: Martin, stop.
736
00:46:06,597 --> 00:46:08,766
(laughs)
737
00:46:10,434 --> 00:46:12,561
KING JR.: I was scared, Corrie.
738
00:46:21,987 --> 00:46:24,490
CORETTA: I was scared, too.
739
00:46:26,325 --> 00:46:27,705
ANCHOR (over radio):
With several key states
740
00:46:27,785 --> 00:46:30,204
still in play, the Presidential
race is too close to call,
741
00:46:30,287 --> 00:46:32,831
but it looks like the Democrats
will retain control of Congress.
742
00:46:32,915 --> 00:46:35,751
South Carolina's Strom Thurmond
projected to keep his seat,
743
00:46:35,834 --> 00:46:36,835
along with incumbents.
744
00:46:36,919 --> 00:46:38,587
(radio stops)
745
00:46:49,056 --> 00:46:50,933
CORETTA: What's all this?
746
00:46:51,016 --> 00:46:55,521
KING JR.: Well, the box is for
you and the ice cream is for me.
747
00:46:59,441 --> 00:47:01,151
CORETTA: What did
Daddy King have to say?
748
00:47:01,235 --> 00:47:02,319
KING JR.: Hmm.
749
00:47:02,402 --> 00:47:04,613
That he thinks he's
getting Kennedy elected.
750
00:47:04,696 --> 00:47:05,948
CORETTA: Huh?
751
00:47:06,031 --> 00:47:07,536
KING JR.: I told him
it's too soon to know if his
752
00:47:07,616 --> 00:47:10,118
endorsement did anything.
753
00:47:11,662 --> 00:47:15,165
But we both know who the real
kingmaker in this family is.
754
00:47:19,962 --> 00:47:21,797
CORETTA: "No Comment Nixon
755
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,425
versus The Candidate
with a Heart, Senator Kennedy."
756
00:47:25,509 --> 00:47:28,262
Jack is getting a whole lot
of mileage out of one
757
00:47:28,345 --> 00:47:30,556
little phone call.
758
00:47:31,723 --> 00:47:32,724
KING JR.: Corrie.
759
00:47:32,808 --> 00:47:34,226
CORETTA: Hmm?
760
00:47:34,309 --> 00:47:35,981
KING JR.: That phone call
probably changed the course of
761
00:47:36,061 --> 00:47:39,439
the election, of history.
762
00:47:41,525 --> 00:47:46,071
CORETTA: Well, all right,
I was just trying to get my
763
00:47:46,154 --> 00:47:48,156
husband out of prison.
764
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:49,908
KING JR.: Hmm.
765
00:47:56,415 --> 00:48:00,794
You know, we have so
much to be thankful for.
766
00:48:03,005 --> 00:48:09,011
Dear God, thank you
for this blessing that you
767
00:48:09,094 --> 00:48:12,764
bestowed upon us.
768
00:48:12,848 --> 00:48:16,184
And thank you, God,
for this precious love.

MALCOLM X: Hey, Brown Sugar.
BETTY X: Hmm?
772
00:48:20,272 --> 00:48:21,860
ANCHOR (over radio): That
Kennedy's lead continues to grow
773

off and come dance with me.

for peace and for guidance.
776
00:48:31,325 --> 00:48:33,994
We ask you to watch over us.
777
00:48:34,077 --> 00:48:37,247
To protect us as we
fulfill your purpose.
778
00:48:38,206 --> 00:48:42,210
Please align our hearts with
yours and our will with yours.

Watch them big ol' feet.

walking all over me.
783
00:48:49,134 --> 00:48:54,640
KING JR.: We ask you for
strength and faith as you guide
784
00:48:54,723 --> 00:48:56,099
us on this path.
785
00:48:57,225 --> 00:48:58,397
KING JR. (over speaker):

786
00:48:58,477 --> 00:49:02,230
