1
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:10,010
["Ballad of a Thin Man" playing]
2
00:00:20,479 --> 00:00:22,606
{\an8}[Huey] Hmm. Listen, man, listen.
You hear that?
3
00:00:23,774 --> 00:00:25,817
{\an8}[chuckles] That's not a song
about a circus man.
4
00:00:25,817 --> 00:00:27,444
{\an8}That Dylan, he's talking about us.
5
00:00:28,028 --> 00:00:30,197
Us? And how so? We the freaks?
6
00:00:30,197 --> 00:00:33,033
[Huey] No, see the geek, right?
The geek is a circus performer.
7
00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:34,743
Uh, they got injured on the trapeze
8
00:00:34,743 --> 00:00:38,121
and now he's gotta take this other job,
this menial job in order to survive.
9
00:00:38,121 --> 00:00:39,873
Mr. Jones, he's willing to come down.
10
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:41,917
He willing to pay
to see the geek in the cage,
11
00:00:41,917 --> 00:00:44,461
uh, eating live chicken or whatever
'cause he wants to see a freak.
12
00:00:44,461 --> 00:00:46,421
But then the geek,
he take the chicken bone,
13
00:00:47,422 --> 00:00:49,800
and he hands it to Mr. Jones and says...
[exhales]
14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,968
..."The real freak is you."
15
00:00:50,968 --> 00:00:55,556
[chuckles] Wow.
Man, that Bobby Dylan is heavy.
16
00:00:55,556 --> 00:00:57,474
Okay. Have a seat right here.
17
00:00:57,474 --> 00:01:00,060
[Huey] Hey, man. Real freak--
Real freak is you.
18
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:04,397
The Greeks created icons.
Portraits of religious figures.
19
00:01:04,397 --> 00:01:06,900
But the images became sacred,
20
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:09,570
above and apart
from the individual depicted.
21
00:01:09,570 --> 00:01:10,946
[song continues]
22
00:01:10,946 --> 00:01:12,489
[exhales sharply] Whoa.
23
00:01:12,489 --> 00:01:13,949
- Wanna get the hat--
- I'll go tilt it.
24
00:01:13,949 --> 00:01:15,242
[Huey] Eldridge Cleaver was a man
25
00:01:15,242 --> 00:01:17,619
- who understood the power of an image.
- [Bobby] Yeah.
26
00:01:18,245 --> 00:01:20,747
[Huey] Uh, he wanted one
that inspired armed revolution.
27
00:01:21,456 --> 00:01:25,961
This right here says, "Leader and defender
of the Black colony... in white America."
28
00:01:27,296 --> 00:01:29,006
The most dangerous man on the planet.
29
00:01:30,632 --> 00:01:33,010
Now... [chuckles]
...look straight in the lens.
30
00:01:34,386 --> 00:01:35,387
This is the shot.
31
00:01:36,471 --> 00:01:38,307
[Huey]
According to the philosopher Foucault,
32
00:01:38,974 --> 00:01:41,226
if an image becomes iconic,
33
00:01:41,226 --> 00:01:44,396
it is impossible to see the subject
as anything else.
34
00:02:55,717 --> 00:02:57,928
{\an8}[Steve] Roz, Roz, I promise,
he's not staying long.
35
00:02:57,928 --> 00:03:01,139
{\an8}- One day, two max.
- [Roz] If Bert's house was raided,
36
00:03:01,139 --> 00:03:03,392
{\an8}it's only a matter of time
before they bust down our door.
37
00:03:03,392 --> 00:03:05,602
- Is that what you want?
- [Steve] No.
38
00:03:05,602 --> 00:03:08,522
[Roz] You wanna watch me and my kids
hauled away in handcuffs?
39
00:03:08,522 --> 00:03:11,567
- [typing]
- [Gwen] Mary Poppins is at it again.
40
00:03:14,862 --> 00:03:16,321
- Did you hear me?
- [typing stops]
41
00:03:16,321 --> 00:03:18,949
I gotta finish this letter
to the Cuban government, Gwen.
42
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:21,785
- Huey, she's--
- She's not gonna want Steve to go to jail.
43
00:03:21,785 --> 00:03:23,078
[Gwen] Oh, she doesn't care.
44
00:03:24,079 --> 00:03:27,124
- Look, we can't stay here.
- Well, where else are we supposed to go?
45
00:03:27,708 --> 00:03:29,960
[stammering] I can't trust
anybody in the party anymore.
46
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,839
Okay, but why are these the people
to elude a manhunt?
47
00:03:33,839 --> 00:03:35,716
Now, why would you think they can do that?
48
00:03:35,716 --> 00:03:37,050
Because I'm gonna make 'em.
49
00:03:37,801 --> 00:03:39,386
Look-- Look, Gwen, Bert--
50
00:03:40,262 --> 00:03:42,181
- Bert did keep Ellsberg out of jail.
- Mm-hmm.
51
00:03:42,181 --> 00:03:43,807
And he got Abbie Hoffman
out of the country
52
00:03:43,807 --> 00:03:46,393
when he was number one on the
most-wanted list. He brought Chaplin back.
53
00:03:46,393 --> 00:03:48,979
What do all those people got in common
that you don't?
54
00:03:54,276 --> 00:03:55,277
Hey.
55
00:03:57,613 --> 00:04:00,741
Look, it's all-- Come here.
56
00:04:01,909 --> 00:04:03,827
- It's all gonna be okay.
- [sighs]
57
00:04:10,542 --> 00:04:13,462
You should've never got involved
with these Hollywood fools.
58
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:17,966
[Bert] All right, listen up.
59
00:04:17,966 --> 00:04:21,094
For 50 years Hollywood has failed
to stand up to tyranny.
60
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:23,055
All that is gonna end right here with you.
61
00:04:23,055 --> 00:04:26,642
- We're gonna be the Beverly Hills 7, man.
- They call you that after you're arrested.
62
00:04:26,642 --> 00:04:28,769
[Bert] No, no, no.
No one's gonna get arrested.
63
00:04:28,769 --> 00:04:30,854
We know planning and logistics.
64
00:04:30,854 --> 00:04:33,106
We're gonna get Huey to Cuba
in the next 48 hours.
65
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:35,442
Ticking clock's good, but why so tight?
66
00:04:35,442 --> 00:04:37,819
Because the FBI's started
kicking down doors.
67
00:04:37,819 --> 00:04:39,738
Plus, my girlfriend's gonna
fuck her tennis coach
68
00:04:39,738 --> 00:04:41,323
- if this goes on any longer.
- [all laugh]
69
00:04:41,323 --> 00:04:44,076
- Like I said, we're not gonna get caught.
- How can you know that, man?
70
00:04:44,076 --> 00:04:45,202
We got the perfect cover.
71
00:04:45,202 --> 00:04:47,663
As far as anybody knows,
we're just movie people making a movie.
72
00:04:47,663 --> 00:04:49,873
[Dennis] Okay.
What movie are we talking about?
73
00:04:49,873 --> 00:04:51,291
What kind of movie?
74
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:53,210
- It's a caper, Hoppy.
- Caper?
75
00:04:53,210 --> 00:04:55,712
Look, you gotta be smart.
All your phones are tapped.
76
00:04:55,712 --> 00:04:58,006
So from now on,
we're gonna talk about this thing in code.
77
00:04:59,174 --> 00:05:02,427
So, Huey is "The Package." Or "The Star."
78
00:05:02,427 --> 00:05:05,264
I'm "The Producer."
Artie's "The Babysitter."
79
00:05:05,264 --> 00:05:06,390
Steve's "The Jew."
80
00:05:06,390 --> 00:05:08,517
Wait, why am I the Jew?
You're more Jewish than I am.
81
00:05:08,517 --> 00:05:09,935
Because Steve, you're "The Jew."
82
00:05:09,935 --> 00:05:11,436
- [laughs]
- Yeah. Jesus, fuck.
83
00:05:11,436 --> 00:05:14,481
So the story is "The Jew"
and "The Jewish Producer"...
84
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:15,774
- Thank you.
- ...take "The Package"
85
00:05:15,774 --> 00:05:18,569
to the Big Cigar aka Cuba.
86
00:05:18,569 --> 00:05:21,822
It's like Ladykillers with a movie crew
instead of musicians.
87
00:05:21,822 --> 00:05:24,241
[stammers] I mean,
I love The Big Cigar, man.
88
00:05:24,241 --> 00:05:26,743
- That's-- I like that-- But--
- [Steve] That's your thing?
89
00:05:26,743 --> 00:05:29,454
- But, like, black and white, you know.
- Oh, that's gonna change everything.
90
00:05:29,454 --> 00:05:32,332
- [all chattering]
- Look, look, look, look. Guys, listen.
91
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:35,919
Stop bullshitting. All right?
From now on, no credit cards. Cash only.
92
00:05:35,919 --> 00:05:38,297
No big cash withdrawals, no paper trail.
93
00:05:38,297 --> 00:05:40,215
- Stick to pay phones.
- [softly] Oh.
94
00:05:40,215 --> 00:05:42,759
[Huey] They're trying to frame me
for a woman's murder.
95
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:46,889
- [sighs]
- It's not a game. All right? It's my life.
96
00:05:49,099 --> 00:05:50,309
Let me out, man.
97
00:05:52,686 --> 00:05:53,729
And I need a plane.
98
00:05:54,855 --> 00:05:57,524
Man, one of you ruling class crackers
gotta know somebody with a plane.
99
00:05:57,524 --> 00:05:59,985
[Dennis] Yeah, we know a guy, man.
He's Cuban.
100
00:05:59,985 --> 00:06:02,029
He's a, uh, consultant on the Che biopic
101
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:03,363
- over at Paramount.
- Yeah.
102
00:06:03,363 --> 00:06:06,408
Makes all the... [chuckles] ...trips
down to South America.
103
00:06:06,992 --> 00:06:08,535
I mean, he could be the guy.
104
00:06:08,535 --> 00:06:11,038
Man, I don't care who it is.
Just get hold of a plane.
105
00:06:12,998 --> 00:06:15,667
The Feds busted down the door
in the middle of the night.
106
00:06:16,835 --> 00:06:18,587
Threw us out of our own home.
107
00:06:20,172 --> 00:06:22,007
Wouldn't even let me put on my clothes.
108
00:06:22,007 --> 00:06:25,052
- [phone ringing]
- Okay, okay. Um-- One second, okay?
109
00:06:29,431 --> 00:06:32,476
- Hello?
- Hey. Is, uh-- Is the line clear?
110
00:06:32,476 --> 00:06:34,478
[Teressa] Yeah, we at Larry's grandma's.
111
00:06:35,062 --> 00:06:37,814
Huey, the Feds came
and took all our houses last night.
112
00:06:38,565 --> 00:06:39,691
Because I skipped bail?
113
00:06:39,691 --> 00:06:41,568
The moment you left.
114
00:06:42,152 --> 00:06:44,780
Today, they closed the schools,
the clinics...
115
00:06:44,780 --> 00:06:46,615
- [sighs]
- ...breakfast programs.
116
00:06:47,491 --> 00:06:50,077
I got 30 people who slept on the street.
117
00:06:50,077 --> 00:06:52,037
All right, uh,
tell them we'll work it out.
118
00:06:52,037 --> 00:06:54,373
Uh, just give them the keys
to the penthouse.
119
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,542
You ain't got 30 beds.
120
00:06:56,542 --> 00:06:59,795
Well, then take the reserve cash
and put everybody else in motels.
121
00:06:59,795 --> 00:07:02,923
- What reserve? They took it.
- Well, then find some.
122
00:07:02,923 --> 00:07:05,425
- How?
- I don't know. Shit.
123
00:07:06,510 --> 00:07:07,886
[sighs] Sorry.
124
00:07:09,137 --> 00:07:13,475
[sighs] Look, I just don't want
this bullshit to bring down the programs.
125
00:07:14,059 --> 00:07:15,060
Okay.
126
00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:17,563
We can't lose
what we risked everything to build.
127
00:07:17,563 --> 00:07:20,399
Okay, I'll figure something out.
128
00:07:20,983 --> 00:07:23,694
Careful. Wanted posters up all over.
129
00:07:23,694 --> 00:07:24,778
All right.
130
00:07:24,778 --> 00:07:27,614
[Huey] It was one thing
for the Feds to come after me,
131
00:07:27,614 --> 00:07:29,950
but I couldn't let them
hurt the community.
132
00:07:35,205 --> 00:07:36,707
The stars came out today
133
00:07:36,707 --> 00:07:38,876
as the Black Panther Party
opened a new location
134
00:07:38,876 --> 00:07:41,336
for their expanded breakfast program.
135
00:07:41,336 --> 00:07:42,421
You want an autograph?
136
00:07:43,630 --> 00:07:46,091
- Want me to sign my name for you here?
- Thank you.
137
00:07:47,259 --> 00:07:48,510
Thanks for being here.
138
00:07:48,510 --> 00:07:49,678
- I knew it.
- All right.
139
00:07:50,512 --> 00:07:54,099
- All power to the people.
- All power to the people!
140
00:07:54,099 --> 00:07:56,143
{\an8}I'm glad you all, uh, finally came out,
141
00:07:56,143 --> 00:07:58,729
{\an8}uh, to get a chance to see
what we're all about.
142
00:07:58,729 --> 00:08:01,899
{\an8}See, we've, uh--
we've been doing this work for many years,
143
00:08:01,899 --> 00:08:04,943
{\an8}and, uh, for me it's important
because, uh,
144
00:08:04,943 --> 00:08:07,779
when I was in primary school,
there was always a problem.
145
00:08:07,779 --> 00:08:10,532
Some of the kids,
the ones who had the money to pay for it,
146
00:08:10,532 --> 00:08:13,285
uh, would get, uh, cookies
and, uh, graham crackers.
147
00:08:13,285 --> 00:08:16,997
And, uh, the ones who didn't,
had to put their heads on the desk,
148
00:08:16,997 --> 00:08:20,792
you know, while the other ones ate. And,
uh, I always thought that was very bad--
149
00:08:21,710 --> 00:08:23,712
[pans clattering]
150
00:08:25,339 --> 00:08:26,882
Excuse me a moment.
151
00:08:26,882 --> 00:08:29,176
[people chattering]
152
00:08:37,392 --> 00:08:39,895
[Bert]
I guess he prefers guns to pancakes, huh?
153
00:08:39,895 --> 00:08:40,979
Yeah.
154
00:08:43,065 --> 00:08:45,484
But we got a major network here.
155
00:08:46,818 --> 00:08:48,278
It's a big deal. It is.
156
00:08:48,278 --> 00:08:50,364
[inhales deeply] Yeah, man.
157
00:08:51,323 --> 00:08:52,324
[scoffs]
158
00:08:52,324 --> 00:08:55,953
Hate that we have to get the, uh--
the stars, you know, to lure the cameras.
159
00:08:57,621 --> 00:08:59,873
They didn't have any trouble finding us
when we were out in the street
160
00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:02,501
with our guns policing the police,
you know what I mean?
161
00:09:02,501 --> 00:09:04,461
[Bert] It's the society of spectacle.
162
00:09:06,255 --> 00:09:08,841
{\an8}I don't wanna be that guy
in the wicker chair anymore, man.
163
00:09:08,841 --> 00:09:11,385
I mean, I understand why people like
the image, but it ain't me.
164
00:09:11,385 --> 00:09:13,470
That's some shit Eldridge came up with.
165
00:09:17,015 --> 00:09:18,934
And when I got out of the pen, man, I--
166
00:09:18,934 --> 00:09:22,604
I got a second chance at life
that I didn't think I was gonna get.
167
00:09:22,604 --> 00:09:23,689
You understand?
168
00:09:24,398 --> 00:09:26,942
And I don't wanna spend
that time sending people to their graves.
169
00:09:27,651 --> 00:09:30,070
If I'm gonna have an image,
I want it to be one that--
170
00:09:31,071 --> 00:09:32,072
that helps people.
171
00:09:35,033 --> 00:09:37,077
With this money we're bringing in
from Hollywood,
172
00:09:37,077 --> 00:09:40,539
we can feed, we can clothe,
we can house a whole bunch of more folks.
173
00:09:40,539 --> 00:09:42,958
[stammers] And we're just getting started.
174
00:09:42,958 --> 00:09:45,836
All right? We're talking about survival
pending revolution.
175
00:09:45,836 --> 00:09:47,588
[Panther 1] Brother Huey, with respect,
176
00:09:47,588 --> 00:09:50,007
people don't come to us
because they want to start a charity.
177
00:09:50,007 --> 00:09:51,550
Like Brother Eldridge says,
178
00:09:51,550 --> 00:09:54,011
the party stands for violent struggle
against oppression.
179
00:09:54,011 --> 00:09:56,847
We have to shift to survive, brother.
180
00:09:56,847 --> 00:09:58,473
- [people muttering]
- [sighs]
181
00:09:58,473 --> 00:10:01,560
Only brother I ever seen
go into the joint and come out soft.
182
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:02,686
- What you say?
- Huey.
183
00:10:07,357 --> 00:10:09,276
[Huey] You ever been to the hole, brother?
184
00:10:10,027 --> 00:10:12,905
You ever face down a line of police
with your own 12-gauge?
185
00:10:18,035 --> 00:10:20,704
Oh, I see. So you're not really ready
to die for revolution.
186
00:10:20,704 --> 00:10:22,789
You just--
You just like wearing the threads.
187
00:10:26,627 --> 00:10:30,464
I think some of you brothers and sisters
are in need of a revolutionary education.
188
00:10:31,340 --> 00:10:34,593
This party has moved on
from armed struggle.
189
00:10:34,593 --> 00:10:35,677
That's right.
190
00:10:35,677 --> 00:10:38,972
We are about survival
and we are about social change.
191
00:10:38,972 --> 00:10:42,809
Now if you wanna be with us, you can
go teach some of our kids how to read.
192
00:10:43,477 --> 00:10:46,188
All right?
Or you can go-- go volunteer at a clinic.
193
00:10:46,188 --> 00:10:48,398
Do something to help our people.
194
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:52,277
But if what you wanna do
is go out in the street with a shotgun,
195
00:10:52,945 --> 00:10:55,697
trying to overthrow the government
and get yourself killed,
196
00:10:56,698 --> 00:11:00,244
then you can get your ass on a plane
and fly to Algeria and be with Eldridge.
197
00:11:01,453 --> 00:11:03,413
- [Panther 2] That's right.
- Mmm.
198
00:11:03,413 --> 00:11:05,999
[Panther 3] Yeah. That's right.
199
00:11:16,051 --> 00:11:17,052
Huey?
200
00:11:22,349 --> 00:11:25,185
Those punks down there
trying to tell me how to run my own party?
201
00:11:26,979 --> 00:11:30,941
It's not just them, Huey.
Lot of talk like that out there.
202
00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:37,114
Most of our members joined up
while you were in the pen.
203
00:11:37,114 --> 00:11:39,741
Young folks
who had your poster on their wall.
204
00:11:40,492 --> 00:11:43,036
They thought they was coming in here
to be soldiers.
205
00:11:43,036 --> 00:11:44,830
Sounds like you agree with them.
206
00:11:46,248 --> 00:11:47,666
You think I should stick with the guns?
207
00:11:47,666 --> 00:11:49,710
You think that's
what's best for the party, Gwen?
208
00:11:50,878 --> 00:11:53,964
It stopped being about just the party
for me a long time ago.
209
00:11:58,510 --> 00:11:59,511
Gwen, come on.
210
00:12:02,222 --> 00:12:03,599
I'm just worried.
211
00:12:05,017 --> 00:12:08,562
There is a lot of talk, and at some point,
talk ain't all it's gonna be.
212
00:12:08,562 --> 00:12:09,980
What you think I ought to do?
213
00:12:11,064 --> 00:12:12,691
- Call Eldridge.
- Hell no.
214
00:12:12,691 --> 00:12:14,902
Get him to unite the party with you.
215
00:12:14,902 --> 00:12:18,197
No. If I call him,
he'll just go around telling everybody,
216
00:12:18,197 --> 00:12:20,782
"Oh, Huey P. came to me
with his tail between his legs."
217
00:12:20,782 --> 00:12:22,117
Got me here looking like a chump.
218
00:12:22,117 --> 00:12:26,705
- [chuckles] That pride of yours.
- It ain't pride, Gwen. It's common sense.
219
00:12:26,705 --> 00:12:30,584
Oh. Oh, you wanna look at it practical.
220
00:12:32,169 --> 00:12:36,340
Okay, fine.
How important are the programs?
221
00:12:38,050 --> 00:12:40,052
They're my life's work.
You know that, Gwen.
222
00:12:40,052 --> 00:12:42,846
Then maybe you should humble yourself.
223
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,351
Take a risk. Call the man.
224
00:12:49,228 --> 00:12:50,437
Hmm?
225
00:12:59,488 --> 00:13:01,281
Please tell me
you got something on Schneider.
226
00:13:01,281 --> 00:13:04,535
It ain't good. [sighs]
Our guys were at it all night.
227
00:13:04,535 --> 00:13:06,662
All we got was some of Schneider's coke,
228
00:13:06,662 --> 00:13:09,081
- couple of kids on weed charges...
- [groans]
229
00:13:09,081 --> 00:13:14,002
- ...and a bunch of togas. No sign of Huey.
- [groans] Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!
230
00:13:14,837 --> 00:13:17,005
[sighs] We gotta smoke 'em out.
231
00:13:17,005 --> 00:13:19,258
Those fucking producers know where he is.
232
00:13:19,258 --> 00:13:22,845
Oh, great. [groans]
I thought we might be done.
233
00:13:23,887 --> 00:13:27,224
Fuck!
I'm so sick of looking like this hair!
234
00:13:27,224 --> 00:13:28,767
I hate the goddamn hippies.
235
00:13:28,767 --> 00:13:31,562
Every morning I wake up,
look in the mirror, and what do I see?
236
00:13:31,562 --> 00:13:33,272
A funky-ass hippie.
237
00:13:34,690 --> 00:13:35,691
Yeah, man.
238
00:13:37,109 --> 00:13:38,527
Give me the fucking drugs.
239
00:13:38,527 --> 00:13:39,611
Right.
240
00:13:43,448 --> 00:13:45,409
- [Sydney sighs]
- [door opens]
241
00:13:46,451 --> 00:13:49,788
[Huey] The FBI was emptying its playbook
to neutralize the Panthers.
242
00:13:49,788 --> 00:13:53,208
- Harassment, arrest, fabricated evidence.
- [flute, bongo drums playing]
243
00:13:53,208 --> 00:13:54,793
Informants and provocateurs.
244
00:13:55,669 --> 00:13:57,504
Man, they even had Feds like Agent Clark
245
00:13:57,504 --> 00:14:00,465
living as members of communities
they were hell-bent to destroy.
246
00:14:00,465 --> 00:14:02,134
- [squealing]
- Scored.
247
00:14:02,134 --> 00:14:04,887
Mmm. [giggles]
248
00:14:08,182 --> 00:14:09,850
[bell rings]
249
00:14:09,850 --> 00:14:14,021
- [tropical music playing on radio]
- [pilot] Flying to Cuba is a lot of risk.
250
00:14:14,021 --> 00:14:15,314
[Bert] How much would it cost?
251
00:14:15,981 --> 00:14:18,775
- [chuckles] Depends. What's the package?
- You don't need to know.
252
00:14:18,775 --> 00:14:20,611
Well,
the price for "you don't need to know,"
253
00:14:20,611 --> 00:14:22,112
it's 25K up-front.
254
00:14:22,696 --> 00:14:24,072
What else do you need?
255
00:14:24,072 --> 00:14:26,033
Another 25 on arrival.
256
00:14:26,033 --> 00:14:28,118
Oh, and you need to clear an airstrip
in Rancho Cucamonga.
257
00:14:28,118 --> 00:14:29,203
Rancho Cuc--
258
00:14:31,038 --> 00:14:32,873
Man, w-why we gotta clear you an airstrip?
259
00:14:32,873 --> 00:14:35,876
This doesn't sound like something
you can just load up in front of everyone
260
00:14:35,876 --> 00:14:37,461
at Van Nuys, does it?
261
00:14:38,128 --> 00:14:41,507
And I'm assuming
you don't wanna file a flight plan. Huh?
262
00:14:42,257 --> 00:14:44,927
[chuckles] I don't do construction.
263
00:14:44,927 --> 00:14:47,971
Only transpo. It's-- It's a union thing.
264
00:14:47,971 --> 00:14:51,767
Seventy-two hours. Get your plane there.
Ready to take off.
265
00:14:52,351 --> 00:14:53,393
4:00 p.m., Friday?
266
00:15:03,028 --> 00:15:04,029
Adiós.
267
00:15:07,241 --> 00:15:09,576
Man, I don't like that dude.
268
00:15:10,244 --> 00:15:12,371
Three days from now,
you're gonna be sipping Cuba libres
269
00:15:12,371 --> 00:15:13,956
on the beach in Havana. Trust me.
270
00:15:13,956 --> 00:15:16,166
Yeah, I do trust you.
I just don't trust him.
271
00:15:16,166 --> 00:15:19,378
You know, look, all these guys
are risking everything for you.
272
00:15:19,962 --> 00:15:22,422
We're in the meeting this morning,
we're-- we're planning a thing
273
00:15:22,422 --> 00:15:26,176
- and you blow off to go make a phone call?
- [scoffs] Look, man.
274
00:15:27,469 --> 00:15:29,388
I left a lot of shit behind in Oakland,
Bert.
275
00:15:30,389 --> 00:15:34,226
My pops is sick, man.
The Feds closed down my survival programs.
276
00:15:34,226 --> 00:15:36,979
I got kids and families
sleeping in the street.
277
00:15:38,105 --> 00:15:40,232
Well, that's a lot.
I didn't know about your dad.
278
00:15:40,858 --> 00:15:44,653
It's fine. I just need things to go right.
279
00:15:46,655 --> 00:15:49,700
No, I understand. I'm all over it.
280
00:15:50,325 --> 00:15:51,618
We're gonna build that airstrip,
281
00:15:52,411 --> 00:15:55,747
and you just focus on the party
and your dad. Okay?
282
00:15:57,791 --> 00:15:58,792
[chuckles]
283
00:15:58,792 --> 00:16:01,128
{\an8}[gospel music playing]
284
00:16:02,963 --> 00:16:03,964
{\an8}Pop?
285
00:16:09,678 --> 00:16:10,929
Oh, hey. Huey.
286
00:16:13,557 --> 00:16:16,018
- You just missed Melvin.
- I was actually looking for you.
287
00:16:17,019 --> 00:16:19,146
It's Saturday,
I figured I might know where you'd be.
288
00:16:19,646 --> 00:16:22,274
Sitting right here like always,
working on my sermon.
289
00:16:22,274 --> 00:16:23,859
Got anything in there for me?
290
00:16:25,611 --> 00:16:28,572
Prodigal son come looking for answers.
291
00:16:29,531 --> 00:16:30,782
Well, come on. Sit on down.
292
00:16:37,331 --> 00:16:38,665
[sighs]
293
00:16:38,665 --> 00:16:40,042
I'm getting tested, Pop.
294
00:16:42,586 --> 00:16:45,422
Trying to, uh, walk a new path,
as you tell it.
295
00:16:45,422 --> 00:16:48,300
[chuckles] Walking that path ain't easy.
296
00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:52,554
[chuckles] Can't figure out where it is
half the time or where--
297
00:16:52,554 --> 00:16:54,431
[stammers] ...which way I'm supposed to go.
298
00:16:56,475 --> 00:16:58,143
You remember when you was coming up,
299
00:17:00,103 --> 00:17:04,066
you used to follow Sonny Man everywhere
wanting to be just like him?
300
00:17:04,066 --> 00:17:05,483
Yeah, well...
301
00:17:05,483 --> 00:17:09,279
Then you got into books.
And you and Melvin became tight.
302
00:17:11,906 --> 00:17:14,992
- [grunts]
- You know, you've been through a lot.
303
00:17:14,992 --> 00:17:16,787
- Hmm.
- Mm-hmm.
304
00:17:17,996 --> 00:17:20,665
So now, who is it you really wanna be?
305
00:17:25,420 --> 00:17:30,300
I want to, uh--
I wanna transform society, Pop.
306
00:17:32,469 --> 00:17:35,138
I envision a world
beyond conflict and violence.
307
00:17:36,306 --> 00:17:38,433
Does that path take you through Hollywood?
308
00:17:39,142 --> 00:17:40,853
[sighs]
309
00:17:41,353 --> 00:17:44,731
Look, change comes in many forms.
310
00:17:45,691 --> 00:17:48,443
All right, revolutionary culture
is a powerful weapon,
311
00:17:48,443 --> 00:17:50,946
and that-- that right there,
that television is a nuclear one.
312
00:17:50,946 --> 00:17:56,577
I-- Politics is-is telling a story, and--
and Hollywood helps amplify my message.
313
00:17:56,577 --> 00:17:59,121
I know a little something
about preaching a message.
314
00:17:59,705 --> 00:18:01,874
All right. All right.
315
00:18:01,874 --> 00:18:03,542
[exhales deeply]
316
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:07,546
When you was little, you remember,
317
00:18:08,380 --> 00:18:13,051
your auntie took you up to that big church
up there on 45th?
318
00:18:13,051 --> 00:18:16,054
[both chuckle]
319
00:18:16,054 --> 00:18:20,934
- Yeah, she, uh-- she loved that preacher.
- [both chuckling]
320
00:18:22,352 --> 00:18:23,437
Big choir and all that.
321
00:18:23,437 --> 00:18:27,191
Yeah. [grunts]
Well, it made an impression on you too.
322
00:18:27,858 --> 00:18:29,026
You come home,
323
00:18:29,526 --> 00:18:34,448
"Pop!" [laughs] "How come
you don't preach at church like that?"
324
00:18:34,448 --> 00:18:38,702
[laughs]
You always been drawn to the big stage.
325
00:18:40,996 --> 00:18:42,831
Do you remember what I told you?
326
00:18:44,458 --> 00:18:47,669
You said that, uh, in those big churches,
327
00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:50,589
the preacher sometimes
becomes the message.
328
00:18:50,589 --> 00:18:52,508
And that's where the danger lies.
329
00:18:53,008 --> 00:18:54,134
Now you think about it.
330
00:18:55,302 --> 00:18:58,472
Most of the world's problems comes
331
00:18:58,472 --> 00:19:02,184
when the messenger thinks
he's the message.
332
00:19:05,145 --> 00:19:06,146
Hmm.
333
00:19:07,064 --> 00:19:11,485
There's a reason
they consider pride a deadly sin.
334
00:19:16,323 --> 00:19:18,408
You're right. Thank you, Pop.
335
00:19:21,495 --> 00:19:22,955
You ain't hear a word I said.
336
00:19:22,955 --> 00:19:25,249
No, I heard you. I heard you.
337
00:19:26,583 --> 00:19:29,711
Gotta go talk to Eldridge.
Try to unite this party.
338
00:19:31,213 --> 00:19:32,297
Finish up your sermon.
339
00:19:38,387 --> 00:19:40,347
[union boss]
We're not building you an airstrip.
340
00:19:40,347 --> 00:19:43,684
You stiffed us for the overage
on your last movie.
341
00:19:44,810 --> 00:19:47,020
Yeah, that's right.
When we were, uh, switching accountants.
342
00:19:47,020 --> 00:19:49,231
Yeah, it must have been a studio mix-up
or--
343
00:19:49,231 --> 00:19:50,816
- Yeah.
- No, buddy,
344
00:19:50,816 --> 00:19:54,570
the mix-up is you still think it's 1972.
345
00:19:55,445 --> 00:19:57,239
Easy Rider's in the rearview.
346
00:19:57,990 --> 00:20:02,160
You're out of stardust, baby.
And money, by the looks of it.
347
00:20:06,206 --> 00:20:08,041
[Bert] We have enough to sweeten the deal.
348
00:20:09,334 --> 00:20:10,586
We'll pay double time.
349
00:20:10,586 --> 00:20:12,462
[chuckling] Sure.
350
00:20:12,462 --> 00:20:16,508
- For a working airstrip in three days?
- Rush job rates.
351
00:20:17,009 --> 00:20:18,760
Cash on the barrelhead for all your men.
352
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,139
- [sighs] Ah, just take it all.
- Hmm?
353
00:20:28,729 --> 00:20:30,772
- Triple pay, fellas.
- [union workers] Yeah!
354
00:20:30,772 --> 00:20:32,274
You just gave them the last of our cash.
355
00:20:32,274 --> 00:20:35,444
Let me tell you something, Bert.
Okay, look, you do what you want,
356
00:20:35,444 --> 00:20:37,738
because you always do,
but if you stiff these guys again--
357
00:20:38,238 --> 00:20:39,531
Look at me. Look at me.
358
00:20:40,407 --> 00:20:42,784
They're gonna chop you up
and dump your parts in the desert.
359
00:20:42,784 --> 00:20:44,286
I'm not gonna stiff them.
360
00:20:44,286 --> 00:20:46,705
We're making a movie
to get Huey out of the country.
361
00:20:47,289 --> 00:20:48,916
Let's rustle up some investors.
362
00:20:49,666 --> 00:20:51,043
It's fucking pathetic.
363
00:20:52,336 --> 00:20:55,214
[Huey] So, Bert called in some favors.
Not sure to who.
364
00:20:55,214 --> 00:20:57,674
But he found some cash,
and we moved it discreetly.
365
00:20:57,674 --> 00:20:58,759
[line rings]
366
00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:01,803
[Dennis] The cigar is lit.
Pre-pro is underway.
367
00:21:01,803 --> 00:21:03,931
["For The Love of Money" playing]
368
00:21:03,931 --> 00:21:06,225
[line rings]
369
00:21:06,225 --> 00:21:07,935
[Bert] PA is on the move.
370
00:21:09,853 --> 00:21:11,647
[line rings]
371
00:21:11,647 --> 00:21:14,858
[lawyer] Budget's approved at that number,
but there's no room for breakage.
372
00:21:16,818 --> 00:21:18,445
[Sydney]
These assholes and the fucking movie.
373
00:21:18,445 --> 00:21:19,821
Give me something on Huey!
374
00:21:19,821 --> 00:21:21,323
[line rings]
375
00:21:21,323 --> 00:21:23,992
[Steve] Is transpo ready
to head out to the location?
376
00:21:27,621 --> 00:21:28,914
[Huey] It was all happening.
377
00:21:30,666 --> 00:21:34,169
We, uh, threw the Feds off the scent.
They had no idea where I was.
378
00:21:36,004 --> 00:21:37,548
One thing I learned about Hollywood,
379
00:21:38,048 --> 00:21:40,342
you do whatever it takes
to get your shit made.
380
00:21:42,594 --> 00:21:45,097
[Artie] Wiring that petty cash
to the transpo department right now.
381
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,896
[Jack Nicholson] Stop calling me, man.
A freak snowstorm just blew through.
382
00:21:54,189 --> 00:21:58,694
I got Santa here with Margot Kidder
and her friends. I'll call you next week.
383
00:22:00,487 --> 00:22:02,573
[Dennis]
The star's call time is confirmed.
384
00:22:02,573 --> 00:22:06,034
- Set construction is 70% complete.
- [whistle blows]
385
00:22:17,629 --> 00:22:19,756
[Huey] Can't believe
we're actually getting it done.
386
00:22:20,340 --> 00:22:23,677
It shows what the people can accomplish
when they have resources and access.
387
00:22:25,179 --> 00:22:28,599
Reminds me, man,
I, uh, caught some of the footage
388
00:22:28,599 --> 00:22:31,185
for your Hearts and Minds film.
Best thing you ever done.
389
00:22:31,977 --> 00:22:33,437
You're either gonna get an Oscar,
390
00:22:34,104 --> 00:22:36,815
or you're gonna get blacklisted
for exposing Vietnam like that.
391
00:22:36,815 --> 00:22:38,859
You hear that, Steve?
We're gonna win an Oscar.
392
00:22:38,859 --> 00:22:39,985
[chuckling] Well, we better,
393
00:22:39,985 --> 00:22:42,779
'cause everything we have is tied up
in that picture... [inhales deeply]
394
00:22:42,779 --> 00:22:44,072
...including your house.
395
00:22:44,072 --> 00:22:46,366
House shmouse.
Gonna be lines around the block.
396
00:22:46,366 --> 00:22:47,451
[Steve] Mmm.
397
00:22:48,202 --> 00:22:50,579
Hey, we gotta get you back here
for the premiere.
398
00:22:57,878 --> 00:23:01,798
Hey. We are gonna get you back here.
399
00:23:07,679 --> 00:23:09,181
Strange, man.
400
00:23:12,434 --> 00:23:17,523
Thinking about how I might never, uh--
never see my home again.
401
00:23:19,983 --> 00:23:21,652
My friends, my dad.
402
00:23:25,572 --> 00:23:27,741
And my people sleeping on the street
'cause I skipped bail.
403
00:23:27,741 --> 00:23:29,952
And what am I doing, man?
I'm out here running just like--
404
00:23:29,952 --> 00:23:31,662
just like, uh, Eldridge.
405
00:23:32,621 --> 00:23:34,706
After all that shit I said about him.
406
00:23:54,601 --> 00:23:58,814
{\an8}Really, we see, uh,
the true nature of our movement as,
407
00:23:58,814 --> 00:24:01,817
{\an8}uh, oriented around the promotion
of-- of human life.
408
00:24:02,526 --> 00:24:03,819
I think that's certainly different
409
00:24:03,819 --> 00:24:06,280
than what most of our viewers
would imagine, Mr. Newton.
410
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,199
- Yeah.
- Uh, now, um, as you know,
411
00:24:09,199 --> 00:24:13,871
we're being joined by Eldridge Cleaver,
on the line from his exile in Algeria.
412
00:24:13,871 --> 00:24:16,331
- Uh, Mr. Cleaver, are you there?
- Hey, my man, Eldridge.
413
00:24:16,331 --> 00:24:18,625
How--
How's it going over there in Algiers?
414
00:24:18,625 --> 00:24:20,169
Yeah, not too good, Huey. Not too good.
415
00:24:22,421 --> 00:24:23,755
[chuckles] What you mean, man?
416
00:24:23,755 --> 00:24:26,341
[stammers] On-- On the news,
it-- it looks pretty good.
417
00:24:26,341 --> 00:24:29,136
You on that rooftop, uh,
looking out at the beach and all that.
418
00:24:29,136 --> 00:24:32,764
[Eldridge] Yeah, you must be thinking
of your view from the Malibu Hills, jack.
419
00:24:32,764 --> 00:24:36,310
I'm talking about this, uh,
survival program bullshit.
420
00:24:38,687 --> 00:24:39,688
Excuse me, brother?
421
00:24:39,688 --> 00:24:41,732
Now, Huey,
that's not what the Panthers are about.
422
00:24:41,732 --> 00:24:43,233
What about taking up arms?
423
00:24:44,818 --> 00:24:46,987
I-- I don't think you know
what you're saying.
424
00:24:46,987 --> 00:24:50,115
Uh, we talked about this.
You said you'd back the programs.
425
00:24:50,115 --> 00:24:52,576
Yeah, I know what I'm saying.
I'm saying you were out there
426
00:24:52,576 --> 00:24:55,287
flippin' sausages,
and the party's falling apart.
427
00:24:56,788 --> 00:25:00,542
Oh, I see. You, uh-- You trying to, uh--
trying to drop,
428
00:25:00,542 --> 00:25:02,544
uh, a-- drop a bombshell this morning.
429
00:25:02,544 --> 00:25:05,214
But you've been talking about that, uh,
armed struggle thing
430
00:25:05,214 --> 00:25:07,257
from exile for years now, brother.
431
00:25:07,257 --> 00:25:08,550
That's pretty convenient.
432
00:25:08,550 --> 00:25:12,387
How about this for a news flash?
The international section is expelled.
433
00:25:12,387 --> 00:25:15,057
Expelled?
What, you shutting me out, brother?
434
00:25:15,057 --> 00:25:16,600
That's right. That's right. Buried.
435
00:25:17,184 --> 00:25:18,393
You're a madman.
436
00:25:19,728 --> 00:25:21,688
Right, I'd rather be a madman
than to be a coward.
437
00:25:21,688 --> 00:25:23,148
What the hell are you talking about?
438
00:25:23,148 --> 00:25:25,150
You ran off after
getting Lil Bobby Hutton killed.
439
00:25:26,193 --> 00:25:29,321
Lil Bobby, the third member of our party.
440
00:25:29,321 --> 00:25:30,405
[sirens wailing]
441
00:25:30,405 --> 00:25:34,493
Eldridge took him on a suicide mission,
got him gunned down in cold blood.
442
00:25:35,118 --> 00:25:36,954
- Cops shot him over a dozen times.
- [gunshot]
443
00:25:36,954 --> 00:25:38,747
- He was 17 years old.
- [grunts]
444
00:25:39,623 --> 00:25:41,792
[Huey]
Lil Bobby's been with me ever since.
445
00:25:41,792 --> 00:25:43,252
[police radio chatter]
446
00:25:43,252 --> 00:25:46,129
I stay here, you understand?
I stay here, and I face the gas.
447
00:25:46,129 --> 00:25:47,923
You're a coward and you're a punk.
448
00:25:50,676 --> 00:25:53,262
- [mic crackles]
- Uh...
449
00:25:53,929 --> 00:25:56,557
Uh, ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Huey P. Newton.
450
00:25:56,557 --> 00:25:58,851
And on the line, Eldridge Cleaver.
451
00:25:58,851 --> 00:26:01,603
And we'll be right back after this break.
452
00:26:01,603 --> 00:26:02,771
Fuck Eldridge.
453
00:26:03,564 --> 00:26:07,192
- I did not think he was gonna do that.
- Damn fool just declared war.
454
00:26:07,192 --> 00:26:09,111
Yeah, he's forcing you to choose.
455
00:26:10,362 --> 00:26:13,323
You stick with the programs
and risk losing part of the party or--
456
00:26:13,323 --> 00:26:15,367
Or stay with the guns
and let Eldridge win?
457
00:26:16,869 --> 00:26:17,995
There is no choice.
458
00:26:19,329 --> 00:26:23,000
[Huey] One of J. Edgar Hoover's
primary objectives with COINTELPRO
459
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,086
was pitting Panthers against each other
to split the party.
460
00:26:26,086 --> 00:26:30,090
He wanted to weaponize egos
and erode trust amongst us.
461
00:26:30,090 --> 00:26:34,094
Hoover wanted conflict, paranoia
and Panther blood in the streets.
462
00:26:34,595 --> 00:26:36,096
And the shit worked too.
463
00:26:36,889 --> 00:26:39,057
{\an8}[Gwen] I don't know, man.
I think I should come with you.
464
00:26:39,057 --> 00:26:41,518
{\an8}Nah. It's too risky.
465
00:26:43,103 --> 00:26:45,105
Now, you know you don't wanna be
in Cuba alone.
466
00:26:47,316 --> 00:26:50,110
The kids could stay with my mom
until we get settled.
467
00:26:50,110 --> 00:26:52,279
Nah, you know those kids need you, Gwen.
468
00:26:53,822 --> 00:26:55,490
Shit. Besides, for all I know,
469
00:26:56,241 --> 00:26:58,785
the man might decide to use the plane
for target practice.
470
00:26:59,912 --> 00:27:01,371
You don't need me?
471
00:27:01,371 --> 00:27:03,540
["Let's Stay Together" playing on radio]
472
00:27:04,958 --> 00:27:07,878
I need you to go up north
and help out with the party.
473
00:27:08,670 --> 00:27:10,756
If I had a hard time getting folks
on the same page,
474
00:27:10,756 --> 00:27:13,258
I know it won't be easy
for Teressa and Elaine.
475
00:27:15,427 --> 00:27:16,929
[sighs]
476
00:27:18,388 --> 00:27:19,515
Hmm.
477
00:27:19,515 --> 00:27:22,059
Gwen, come on. Come on, now.
478
00:27:22,059 --> 00:27:25,270
I don't have time for all of this,
all right?
479
00:27:25,270 --> 00:27:27,523
I need you to go to Oakland
and talk to my pops.
480
00:27:29,191 --> 00:27:31,568
I never-- I never got a chance to call.
481
00:27:32,986 --> 00:27:34,363
You have to.
482
00:27:34,988 --> 00:27:37,741
You have to tell him you love him
before it's too late.
483
00:27:37,741 --> 00:27:40,369
Well, my pops-- my pops is southern.
He's-- He's old-school.
484
00:27:40,369 --> 00:27:45,040
He don't go ahead for all that...
free love hippie bullshit.
485
00:27:46,291 --> 00:27:48,710
You have never once told your father
that you love him?
486
00:27:48,710 --> 00:27:50,170
He never told me.
487
00:27:52,589 --> 00:27:55,509
Well, maybe it's time to change that.
488
00:28:10,774 --> 00:28:12,609
Am I ever gonna see you again?
489
00:28:17,281 --> 00:28:20,909
Yes.
Gwen, I'm gonna send for you and the kids.
490
00:28:22,995 --> 00:28:23,996
Promise.

00:28:50,272 --> 00:28:52,065
[song continues]
495
00:29:15,631 --> 00:29:17,591
[Richard] I can't believe Huey's
taking off tomorrow.
496
00:29:17,591 --> 00:29:19,968
What the fuck?
Did fucking Bert send out invitations?
497
00:29:19,968 --> 00:29:23,013
[Richard] This is the white leftie
farewell tour, man. Look at it.
498
00:29:23,013 --> 00:29:25,307
You know how Hollywood loves
a going away story.
499
00:29:25,307 --> 00:29:26,642
[people chattering, chuckling]
500
00:29:26,642 --> 00:29:30,771
[chuckles] This is great, isn't it?
Reminds me of the first day of shooting.
501
00:29:30,771 --> 00:29:32,814
But hey, uh, look,
I gotta show you something.
502
00:29:38,529 --> 00:29:41,281
{\an8}- What the fuck is this?
- [Bert] Huey's going away present.
503
00:29:41,782 --> 00:29:43,992
{\an8}The whole town already thinks
that we're shooting a movie,
504
00:29:43,992 --> 00:29:45,536
so why don't we really shoot a movie?
505
00:29:45,536 --> 00:29:46,620
{\an8}"The Big Cigar."
506
00:29:46,620 --> 00:29:48,789
{\an8}Man, I gotta introduce you
to some black artists.
507
00:29:48,789 --> 00:29:50,791
I mean,
they could've funked this thing up.
508
00:29:50,791 --> 00:29:52,251
Gave it some Superfly.
509
00:29:52,251 --> 00:29:53,836
Far fucking out.
510
00:29:55,170 --> 00:29:57,214
- Listen, this has never been done before.
- Hmm.
511
00:29:57,214 --> 00:30:00,425
They're gonna be writing about
what we're doing while we're doing it.
512
00:30:01,093 --> 00:30:03,345
- Artie's already started a script.
- Has he? Okay.
513
00:30:03,345 --> 00:30:06,640
Why don't we just send the FBI a letter,
with all our sizes,
514
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,684
so they can have our prison suits
waiting for us, huh?
515
00:30:08,684 --> 00:30:11,103
- How does that sound, Bert?
- You know how this business works.
516
00:30:11,103 --> 00:30:13,522
It will be 50 years
before this thing gets into theaters.
517
00:30:13,522 --> 00:30:15,274
By that time the whole thing
will have blown over.
518
00:30:15,274 --> 00:30:19,236
{\an8}It's amazing!
I mean, he looks just like me. [laughs]
519
00:30:19,236 --> 00:30:20,904
{\an8}[Huey] Burt Reynolds is playing you?
520
00:30:21,488 --> 00:30:23,532
[Bert chuckles]
Hey, Huey. Come check this out.
521
00:30:30,455 --> 00:30:31,832
I'll go burn this.
522
00:30:34,918 --> 00:30:38,046
I'm out here running for my life and you,
uh-- you fucking around with a poster?
523
00:30:38,046 --> 00:30:40,465
- Oh, wait--
- I thought you had got it by now.
524
00:30:41,175 --> 00:30:43,135
The reason I got down with you
in the first place is
525
00:30:43,135 --> 00:30:44,428
because you helped our programs.
526
00:30:44,428 --> 00:30:46,054
I thought by now we had--
we had got somewhere
527
00:30:46,054 --> 00:30:48,891
- and here you come with this bullshit.
- I'm just trying to sell the lie.
528
00:30:49,516 --> 00:30:50,809
[sighs]
529
00:30:52,186 --> 00:30:53,770
Everything all right in here?
530
00:30:55,439 --> 00:30:57,482
[inhales sharply]
Tell you, man, I need a ride.
531
00:30:58,525 --> 00:31:00,360
Good thing I know a nigga with a Rolls.
532
00:31:13,332 --> 00:31:15,167
- [Richard] I'm gonna watch your back.
- All right.
533
00:31:15,167 --> 00:31:16,710
[Richard] Make it quick, brother.
534
00:31:25,010 --> 00:31:27,012
[line ringing]
535
00:31:31,141 --> 00:31:32,309
- [Huey's dad] Hello?
- Pops.
536
00:31:32,309 --> 00:31:35,062
[strained] Huey. You okay?
537
00:31:36,897 --> 00:31:39,024
Yeah, yeah. I'm-- I'm all right. Um...
538
00:31:40,859 --> 00:31:42,027
How you feel?
539
00:31:42,027 --> 00:31:45,614
Like they're making a bed
for me in the upper room. [chuckles]
540
00:31:48,742 --> 00:31:50,160
Where are you?
541
00:31:50,744 --> 00:31:52,371
[Huey] I can't-- I can't say.
542
00:31:53,497 --> 00:31:55,541
They got a bull's-eye on my back.
543
00:31:56,333 --> 00:31:59,378
Yeah, well, so did Jesus.
He turned out okay.
544
00:32:00,295 --> 00:32:03,924
Listen, Pop, there's, uh-- there's
something I need to, uh, say to you.
545
00:32:03,924 --> 00:32:07,386
[grunts]
Now you take care of yourself, Huey.
546
00:32:08,095 --> 00:32:10,013
Uh, please, just, uh, just listen to me.
547
00:32:10,013 --> 00:32:13,350
I-- I... [exhales sharply]
548
00:32:13,350 --> 00:32:16,478
You, uh-- You--
You know how I feel, right?
549
00:32:16,478 --> 00:32:19,231
No, no, no.
Now, you don't have to say anything.
550
00:32:20,482 --> 00:32:22,442
Come on. Keep him talking, Walter.
551
00:32:22,442 --> 00:32:23,652
[radio chatter]
552
00:32:23,652 --> 00:32:24,736
Oh, shit.
553
00:32:24,736 --> 00:32:27,447
Huey, we got a couple of slave catchers
coming our way, man.
554
00:32:30,617 --> 00:32:32,494
Huey, we gotta split, man.
555
00:32:32,494 --> 00:32:33,787
All right, all right.
556
00:32:34,538 --> 00:32:36,874
- See, the thing is, Pop, I'm leaving.
- I know.
557
00:32:36,874 --> 00:32:39,209
- [Richard] Hey, officers. Thank God.
- Pops, just let me speak.
558
00:32:39,209 --> 00:32:41,753
Some fools done scratch my Rolls
and run off that way.
559
00:32:42,462 --> 00:32:43,755
Oh, shit.
560
00:32:45,007 --> 00:32:46,550
- Are you Richard Pryor?
- Now, see.
561
00:32:46,550 --> 00:32:49,261
Just when I thought justice was blind,
you motherfuckers
562
00:32:49,261 --> 00:32:51,346
- can recognize a nigga with money!
- [officers laugh]
563
00:32:51,346 --> 00:32:53,724
- [Richard] Damn right, I'm Richard Pryor.
- Well, Dad, uh--
564
00:32:53,724 --> 00:32:55,392
- [coughing] Huey--
- Mr. Newton, is that Huey?
565
00:32:55,392 --> 00:32:57,853
- [Walter] I'm fine.
- [nurse] Mr. Newton, give me the phone.
566
00:32:57,853 --> 00:32:59,146
- Dad, hello?
- [Walter mumbles]
567
00:32:59,146 --> 00:33:01,398
[nurse]
No. Huey, you are upsetting your father.
568
00:33:01,398 --> 00:33:03,358
Hey, put my father back on the damn phone.
569
00:33:03,358 --> 00:33:04,443
[Walter] Huey.
570
00:33:04,443 --> 00:33:07,029
- [nurse] Do not talk to me like that.
- I need to speak to my father.
571
00:33:07,029 --> 00:33:09,281
- [Walter coughing]
- Put him back on the goddamn phone.
572
00:33:09,281 --> 00:33:10,824
[Walter] Will you give me the phone, miss?
573
00:33:10,824 --> 00:33:11,742
That guy with you?
574
00:33:12,701 --> 00:33:14,077
Ah, that's just my driver.
575
00:33:14,077 --> 00:33:15,329
- He gotta check in...
- [Walter] Huey.
576
00:33:15,329 --> 00:33:17,164
- Daddy. Hey, Dad.
- [nurse] Mr. Newton, I'm sorry,
577
00:33:17,164 --> 00:33:19,791
- but I have to insist.
- [Walter] No. I'm fine. [coughs]
578
00:33:19,791 --> 00:33:20,918
[nurse] Hand me the phone.
579
00:33:20,918 --> 00:33:22,503
- Daddy, I l--
- [line clicks]
580
00:33:27,257 --> 00:33:28,509
Hello?
581
00:33:35,140 --> 00:33:38,185
- [officer 1] That was Richard Pryor, man.
- [officer 2] Yeah.
582
00:33:48,820 --> 00:33:50,989
[whimpers]
583
00:33:50,989 --> 00:33:52,282
[metal clanks]
584
00:33:53,492 --> 00:33:55,369
[metal clanking]
585
00:33:55,369 --> 00:33:58,205
Shit! [sniffles]
586
00:33:59,122 --> 00:34:01,375
Come on, man. Let's go. [sniffles]
587
00:34:04,461 --> 00:34:06,129
- [siren blares]
- [cop 1] Nigger's got a gun.
588
00:34:06,129 --> 00:34:07,214
[gunshots]
589
00:34:08,422 --> 00:34:10,842
- [cop 1] You're gonna die.
- [cell gate closing]
590
00:34:10,842 --> 00:34:12,969
[Gwen] You have never once
told your father that you love him?
591
00:34:12,969 --> 00:34:15,556
- [Huey] You know how I feel.
- [Walter] You don't have to say anything.
592
00:34:15,556 --> 00:34:17,808
[Huey] I don't wanna be that guy
in the wicker chair anymore, man.
593
00:34:17,808 --> 00:34:20,101
[Teressa] Huey, the Feds came
and took all our houses last night.
594
00:34:20,101 --> 00:34:22,020
[Huey] You ran off after
getting Lil Bobby Hutton killed.
595
00:34:22,020 --> 00:34:23,856
[Bert] How's it help the movement
if you're dead?
596
00:34:23,856 --> 00:34:25,315
[Richard] You out there hiding
in plain sight.
597
00:34:25,315 --> 00:34:26,775
[Huey] It's not a game. It's my life.
598
00:34:26,775 --> 00:34:28,694
[officer] Fuck you and all the niggers
that follow you.
599
00:34:28,694 --> 00:34:31,154
[Huey] I always knew I was gonna die
for the revolution.
600
00:34:31,154 --> 00:34:33,407
[Bert] You're gonna be
the most dangerous man in America.
601
00:34:34,533 --> 00:34:36,409
[Gwen] Am I ever gonna see you again?
602
00:34:41,456 --> 00:34:42,958
[cell door closes]
603
00:34:44,668 --> 00:34:47,004
[Huey]
Power implies possession of liberation,
604
00:34:47,004 --> 00:34:49,005
and I refuse to die a powerless man.
605
00:34:51,842 --> 00:34:55,137
- [shouting] Hey! Hey! Hey!
- Power implies possession of liberation,
606
00:34:55,137 --> 00:34:56,847
and I refuse to die a powerless man.
607
00:34:56,847 --> 00:34:57,931
Guard!
608
00:34:59,683 --> 00:35:02,811
- [shouts, grunting]
- Power implies possession of liberation.
609
00:35:02,811 --> 00:35:04,479
...refuse to die a powerless man.
610
00:35:06,523 --> 00:35:07,774
Guard!
611
00:35:08,442 --> 00:35:12,279
[grunts] Hey, hey! Hey, Guard! Guard!
612
00:35:12,279 --> 00:35:15,866
Power implies possession of liberation,
and I refuse to die a powerless man!
613
00:35:15,866 --> 00:35:18,076
[mumbling]
614
00:35:20,287 --> 00:35:21,371
Shit.
615
00:35:26,293 --> 00:35:27,794
[screams]
616
00:35:29,087 --> 00:35:31,006
[gasping, coughs]
617
00:35:39,681 --> 00:35:40,891
[distorted] Lil Bobby!
618
00:35:44,102 --> 00:35:46,813
[gasps, screams]
619
00:35:46,813 --> 00:35:48,565
Lil Bobby!
620
00:35:51,735 --> 00:35:52,945
Bobby!
621
00:35:52,945 --> 00:35:55,030
[upbeat music playing on radio]
622
00:35:57,991 --> 00:36:00,327
[child]
What kind of plane are you flying to Cuba?
623
00:36:01,870 --> 00:36:03,080
Hmm?
624
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,332
What kind of plane are you flying to Cuba?
625
00:36:06,792 --> 00:36:09,127
I-I don't know, man.
626
00:36:11,338 --> 00:36:14,675
Say, uh, are you a-- you a good student?
627
00:36:15,300 --> 00:36:16,343
In some stuff.
628
00:36:16,343 --> 00:36:18,595
But I hate book reports
in front of the class.
629
00:36:19,179 --> 00:36:20,931
Yeah, I couldn't stand them either.
630
00:36:20,931 --> 00:36:22,182
Why not?
631
00:36:22,182 --> 00:36:23,809
Mmm. Because I couldn't read.
632
00:36:23,809 --> 00:36:25,644
- You couldn't read?
- Hey, Michael.
633
00:36:25,644 --> 00:36:27,855
Why don't we play the,
uh, license plate game.
634
00:36:27,855 --> 00:36:29,064
What do you say, pal?
635
00:36:29,064 --> 00:36:30,232
It's cool, man.
636
00:36:30,232 --> 00:36:31,358
Yeah?
637
00:36:32,234 --> 00:36:36,488
See, uh... [sighs]
...I had a lot of trouble with the words.
638
00:36:37,447 --> 00:36:41,451
And my teachers, they didn't really care.
So, uh, I had to teach myself.
639
00:36:43,579 --> 00:36:44,872
Know what I did then?
640
00:36:45,372 --> 00:36:46,373
Uh-uh.
641
00:36:47,165 --> 00:36:49,001
I started my own school.
642
00:36:50,335 --> 00:36:52,087
[Steve] All right, pal.
Let's grab your backpack.
643
00:36:52,087 --> 00:36:53,380
We're almost at your school.
644
00:37:12,191 --> 00:37:13,400
[Steve] Where's Tajo, Bert?
645
00:37:14,109 --> 00:37:15,319
[Bert] Tajo's late.
646
00:37:17,571 --> 00:37:21,283
I mean, I'm sure he's on his way.
[mumbles] Traffic.
647
00:37:25,204 --> 00:37:27,289
- What? Air traffic.
- Ah.
648
00:37:30,542 --> 00:37:34,505
At least the light is good.
Get to have one more sunset together.
649
00:37:34,505 --> 00:37:37,716
The light? Where the fuck is the Cuban?
650
00:37:38,300 --> 00:37:39,384
All in.
651
00:37:45,098 --> 00:37:46,850
[groans]
652
00:37:48,018 --> 00:37:49,645
[dealer] You owe us, Tajo.
653
00:37:56,735 --> 00:37:58,153
[Tajo] Wait, wait, wait, wait.
654
00:37:58,153 --> 00:38:00,364
I got something,
something you're gonna want.
655
00:38:00,948 --> 00:38:02,157
I know where Huey Newton is.
656
00:38:10,249 --> 00:38:11,917
What's taking him so long, Bert?
657
00:38:13,669 --> 00:38:15,128
All right, he'll be here.
658
00:38:15,128 --> 00:38:17,506
Fellas, come on.
Let's just-- Let's just hang tight, okay?
659
00:38:17,506 --> 00:38:19,007
I told you not to trust that dude.
660
00:38:19,007 --> 00:38:22,010
You know, I don't get it.
Guy's done a million runs.
661
00:38:22,010 --> 00:38:24,012
[scoffs] What did you expect, man?
662
00:38:25,138 --> 00:38:28,475
Yeah, you're too, uh-- you're too busy
playing mogul, throwing parties,
663
00:38:28,475 --> 00:38:30,727
and you didn't take time to make sure
the fucking plane was here.
664
00:38:31,770 --> 00:38:34,022
- I mean, something must've happened.
- I'll tell you what happened.
665
00:38:34,606 --> 00:38:36,942
You told me to trust you.
That's what happened.
666
00:38:36,942 --> 00:38:40,320
And then you went out and hired
a drug runner because he looked the part.
667
00:38:42,447 --> 00:38:44,074
That about says it all, man.
668
00:38:45,993 --> 00:38:46,994
Where the hell is he?
669
00:38:49,288 --> 00:38:50,747
Huey, where you going?
670
00:38:50,747 --> 00:38:52,374
[engine starts]
671
00:38:52,374 --> 00:38:54,293
Huey, what you doing?
Huey, where you going?
672
00:38:55,377 --> 00:38:56,461
I'm going to kill a Cuban.
673
00:38:56,461 --> 00:38:58,630
But that's my car. Huey, that's my car!
674
00:38:59,131 --> 00:39:00,257
Hey! That's my car!
675
00:39:00,799 --> 00:39:02,885
Oh, this is wonderful.
This is-- This is just dynamite.
676
00:39:03,635 --> 00:39:04,761
There he goes!
677
00:39:08,098 --> 00:39:10,517
Isn't that great? There he goes, Bert.
678
00:39:10,517 --> 00:39:12,561
Why don't you put that
in your fucking poster!
679
00:39:14,605 --> 00:39:17,191
[person on radio] One. We want freedom.
680
00:39:17,816 --> 00:39:21,028

Two.
We want full employment for our people.
682

for the shelter of human beings.
683
00:39:28,869 --> 00:39:32,414
Four. We want an end to the robbery
of the Black community
684
00:39:32,414 --> 00:39:34,249
by the white racist businessman.
685
00:39:34,750 --> 00:39:37,336
Five. We want decent education
that teaches us
686
00:39:37,336 --> 00:39:39,880
about the true nature
of this racist and decadent system.
687
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:40,797
[sirens blaring]
688
00:39:40,797 --> 00:39:42,925
Education that teaches us
about our true history
689
00:39:42,925 --> 00:39:45,219
and our role in society
and the world today.
690
00:39:46,178 --> 00:39:50,390
Six. We want all Black brothers
to be exempt from military service.
691
00:39:50,390 --> 00:39:51,558
Seven.
692
00:39:51,558 --> 00:39:53,018
[sighs]
693
00:39:53,977 --> 00:39:55,103
[gun cocks]
694
00:39:55,604 --> 00:39:57,481
All power to the people.
695
00:40:00,776 --> 00:40:02,110
All power to the people.
