1
00:01:17,411 --> 00:01:19,621
They say it's a nation of laws.
2
00:01:20,539 --> 00:01:25,961
But what governs everything in
the universe is the law of contradictions.
3
00:01:26,837 --> 00:01:31,675
It's how I, Huey P. Newton,
was set free into a prison.
4
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:35,053
It's how the image captured the man.
5
00:01:35,554 --> 00:01:41,476
Contradictions that would have me
south of the border running for my life.
6
00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:52,446
The conditions of hate,
forcing me to flee with true love.
7
00:01:52,446 --> 00:01:55,949
The Black Panther Party founder
with two Hollywood producers.
8
00:01:58,035 --> 00:02:01,872
While the government of life, liberty
and pursuit of happiness...
9
00:02:02,873 --> 00:02:06,710
pursues us for exercising
our rights based on their laws.
10
00:02:07,753 --> 00:02:12,883
Contradictions. Murderous feds
posing as peaceful hippies.
11
00:02:12,883 --> 00:02:17,262
A war-mongering nation declaring us
the greatest threat to its security.
12
00:02:18,514 --> 00:02:21,183
All power to the people!
13
00:02:23,644 --> 00:02:24,686
Huey!
14
00:02:25,187 --> 00:02:29,525
Contradictions.
When they stop, life ceases.
15
00:02:31,944 --> 00:02:36,532
And contrary to propagated belief,
I'm not living to die.
16
00:02:37,324 --> 00:02:41,161
But I am refusing
to live without liberation.
17
00:02:43,872 --> 00:02:46,250
The story I'm about to tell you is true.
18
00:02:46,792 --> 00:02:50,128
At least mostly true--
At least how I remember it.
19
00:02:51,255 --> 00:02:53,340
{\an8}But it is coming
through the lens of Hollywood,
20
00:02:53,340 --> 00:02:56,718
{\an8}so let's see how much of my story
they are really willing to show.
21
00:02:58,846 --> 00:02:59,680
Huey?
22
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:04,268
What's happening?
Why are you dressed like that?
23
00:03:05,143 --> 00:03:08,397
The FBI is after me,
say I killed some girl. Some bullshit.
24
00:03:09,481 --> 00:03:11,024
I gotta get off the street.
25
00:03:11,024 --> 00:03:12,234
Were you followed?
26
00:03:13,068 --> 00:03:14,069
I think we're clear.
27
00:03:14,069 --> 00:03:16,113
Hey, Jeffrey.
Go out back, peek over the hedges,
28
00:03:16,113 --> 00:03:18,240
and see if anyone suspicious
is parked on the street.
29
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,324
Sure, Dad.
30
00:03:19,324 --> 00:03:21,326
- What the fuck is going on?
- They framed him.
31
00:03:21,952 --> 00:03:24,872
- You know the feds are watching me too.
- What are you talking about?
32
00:03:24,872 --> 00:03:27,499
Since we got back from China,
they've been tracking my movements.
33
00:03:27,499 --> 00:03:29,209
I got a copy of my FBI file.
34
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:31,461
- You see?
- It's okay.
35
00:03:31,461 --> 00:03:33,922
By morning, you're gonna be
number one on the most wanted list.
36
00:03:33,922 --> 00:03:35,757
The first place they're gonna look
is right here.
37
00:03:35,757 --> 00:03:37,759
Right. So where am I supposed to go?
38
00:03:38,802 --> 00:03:41,597
Bert took Gwen and I to the dude
who's been cleaning up his shit
39
00:03:41,597 --> 00:03:43,473
since they were five years old,
40
00:03:44,016 --> 00:03:46,143
his producing partner, Steve Blauner.
41
00:03:47,269 --> 00:03:49,104
I didn't know I was having company.
42
00:03:50,856 --> 00:03:51,857
Come on in.
43
00:03:59,198 --> 00:04:03,452
You can't have an accused killer
in this house, Steve. I will leave you.
44
00:04:03,452 --> 00:04:06,371
Go back to your ex-wife if you wanna play
fucking cops and robbers.
45
00:04:06,371 --> 00:04:07,748
Your brother stayed here for a month,
46
00:04:07,748 --> 00:04:09,958
- stunk up the place with flatulence--
- Come on. Don't even.
47
00:04:09,958 --> 00:04:11,502
I had to throw that mattress away.
48
00:04:11,502 --> 00:04:14,421
- Listen. What Steve's trying to say--
- Stay out of it Bert. You--
49
00:04:14,421 --> 00:04:16,757
Do you know that he's got
hemorrhoids because of you?
50
00:04:16,757 --> 00:04:18,716
- Jesus fucking Christ.
- I cause hemorrhoids?
51
00:04:18,716 --> 00:04:20,344
Oh, yeah. Stress.
52
00:04:20,344 --> 00:04:21,803
When a person gets stressed,
53
00:04:21,803 --> 00:04:25,015
they tighten up their sphincter
and put pressure on the rectum.
54
00:04:25,015 --> 00:04:27,392
Steve's had hemorrhoids
since he was seven.
55
00:04:27,392 --> 00:04:28,477
This is bullshit.
56
00:04:29,686 --> 00:04:32,147
I'll be in the john
moisturizing my asshole.
57
00:04:35,567 --> 00:04:37,319
Okay. We're good.
58
00:04:39,613 --> 00:04:43,242
{\an8}A massive nationwide manhunt
is now underway.
59
00:04:43,242 --> 00:04:47,412
Huey P. Newton,
the co-founder of the Black Panther Party
60
00:04:47,412 --> 00:04:52,251
{\an8}is wanted in the shooting
of a 17-year-old Bay Area prostitute.
61
00:04:52,251 --> 00:04:56,213
{\an8}Oakland police are searching for
a burgundy '56 Pontiac
62
00:04:56,213 --> 00:04:58,632
with the license plate H7J...
63
00:05:08,851 --> 00:05:10,227
It's all gonna be okay.
64
00:05:12,938 --> 00:05:15,148
It is all gonna be okay.
65
00:05:19,528 --> 00:05:20,696
Yeah.
66
00:05:23,907 --> 00:05:26,368
This was not my first run-in with the law.
67
00:05:26,869 --> 00:05:29,872
{\an8}My family moved to Oakland from Louisiana
when I was seven,
68
00:05:29,872 --> 00:05:31,665
{\an8}expecting it to be different.
69
00:05:32,249 --> 00:05:33,125
Within two hours
70
00:05:33,125 --> 00:05:36,962
the cops pulled my pops out of the car
and roughed him up in front of us.
71
00:05:38,088 --> 00:05:39,882
Now you might see
the police as protection,
72
00:05:39,882 --> 00:05:43,677
but to us they're an occupying army
in our community.
73
00:05:43,677 --> 00:05:47,556
Now, fast-forward to 1967,
and ain't nothing changed.
74
00:05:48,098 --> 00:05:51,351
Police were still beating
and killing Black people in the streets.
75
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:53,353
But Bobby and I decided
to do something about it.
76
00:05:54,021 --> 00:05:58,775
So, what California statute says
it's illegal to shoot a whale
77
00:05:58,775 --> 00:06:01,862
from a moving car or a crop duster?
78
00:06:01,862 --> 00:06:02,779
A crop duster? Nah, man.
79
00:06:02,779 --> 00:06:05,908
It's illegal to shoot any game
or marine mammal from a car,
80
00:06:05,908 --> 00:06:07,117
unless it's a whale.
81
00:06:07,659 --> 00:06:09,328
It's 3002.
82
00:06:09,328 --> 00:06:13,457
Goddamn. Now, why did they do that?
83
00:06:13,457 --> 00:06:15,334
A better question, how you know that?
84
00:06:15,334 --> 00:06:17,252
Got my head in the books, man.
85
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:21,131
Say, what you think about
86
00:06:21,131 --> 00:06:23,842
Black Panther Party
For Revolutionary Action?
87
00:06:24,676 --> 00:06:27,387
I don't know, brother.
That's a whole lot of words.
88
00:06:30,641 --> 00:06:32,226
Hey, brother, we getting low on gas, man.
89
00:06:32,226 --> 00:06:34,603
- How much longer do you wanna do this?
- Right there.
90
00:06:57,709 --> 00:06:59,211
That's Lil Bobby from the center.
91
00:07:06,552 --> 00:07:07,636
The fuck is this?
92
00:07:09,221 --> 00:07:10,973
Who the hell do you think you are?
93
00:07:10,973 --> 00:07:13,433
- The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense.
- The what?
94
00:07:15,519 --> 00:07:17,354
- You heard me.
- Drop your weapons.
95
00:07:20,482 --> 00:07:23,277
We here to make sure that this citizen's
rights are not being violated.
96
00:07:23,277 --> 00:07:25,195
You have no basis in law
to take my weapon.
97
00:07:25,195 --> 00:07:27,406
California code 119.2 says
98
00:07:27,406 --> 00:07:30,075
I have the right
to carry this weapon on public property,
99
00:07:30,075 --> 00:07:33,537
so long as it is not being concealed
or brandished in a threatening manner.
100
00:07:35,831 --> 00:07:36,874
Call for backup.
101
00:07:36,874 --> 00:07:39,751
Man, the cops did not like this.
102
00:07:40,878 --> 00:07:42,546
But the community did.
103
00:07:42,546 --> 00:07:44,298
And the party took off.
104
00:07:45,215 --> 00:07:48,719
You know, I was thinking,
I get my own gun.
105
00:07:48,719 --> 00:07:51,096
And be out there with you and Bobby,
patrolling the police.
106
00:07:51,096 --> 00:07:52,723
You know, that's where it's at.
107
00:07:55,893 --> 00:07:58,478
Slow down, young blood.
Your time will come.
108
00:08:00,606 --> 00:08:03,358
Dig it, man.
The party is an organization, right?
109
00:08:04,234 --> 00:08:07,613
And organizations have structures.
Members have positions.
110
00:08:08,614 --> 00:08:10,532
And everybody's gotta contribute
in their own way.
111
00:08:11,742 --> 00:08:14,703
Now, your mama tells me
that you pretty good at math?
112
00:08:15,412 --> 00:08:16,788
Sound like a treasurer to me.
113
00:08:16,788 --> 00:08:21,752
Well, I can be a treasurer if you want,
but that's not revolutionary. You know?
114
00:08:22,586 --> 00:08:24,505
I wanna be out in the streets too.
115
00:08:24,505 --> 00:08:27,591
Yeah, see... Che?
116
00:08:29,176 --> 00:08:31,303
Che was a revolutionary and a doctor.
117
00:08:32,304 --> 00:08:35,057
Fanon was a revolutionary
and a psychiatrist.
118
00:08:35,057 --> 00:08:39,394
And now, Lil Bobby can be
a revolutionary and a treasurer. You dig?
119
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:43,398
Tell me, man. What is that's got you so--
120
00:08:43,398 --> 00:08:45,317
so fired up to go out there
and risk your life?
121
00:08:45,901 --> 00:08:49,613
I'm sick of white people treating us
like three-fifths a person.
122
00:08:50,113 --> 00:08:53,158
I'm sick of police hitting us
in the back of the head.
123
00:08:53,158 --> 00:08:55,577
And I'm tired of the mold in my apartment.
124
00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:58,038
I wanna change it all.
125
00:08:59,748 --> 00:09:02,251
What do you think? Is that possible?
126
00:09:04,002 --> 00:09:08,006
I think that
if we can organize the people,
127
00:09:09,132 --> 00:09:10,759
I think that if we can listen to
the people
128
00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:12,386
and if we can fight for the people--
129
00:09:12,386 --> 00:09:15,180
and if young cats like you, right,
get out there and carry the baton,
130
00:09:15,180 --> 00:09:17,766
man, I don't think there's anything
we can't accomplish. You dig?
131
00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:19,518
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
132
00:09:20,727 --> 00:09:24,106
Folks joined from all over.
Kids like Lil Bobby.
133
00:09:24,815 --> 00:09:29,152
But when white folks saw Black people
with guns, Ronald Reagan flipped out.
134
00:09:29,152 --> 00:09:31,989
I see no reason why, on the street today,
135
00:09:31,989 --> 00:09:35,075
a citizen should be carrying
a loaded weapon.
136
00:09:35,075 --> 00:09:38,036
We went to the State Capitol
to debate the bill.
137
00:09:38,036 --> 00:09:40,163
And we believe this racist law
was designed
138
00:09:40,163 --> 00:09:43,125
to keep Black people unarmed
against the fascist police
139
00:09:43,125 --> 00:09:45,919
who continue to brutalize us
on a daily basis.
140
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:49,923
But the NRA and GOP teamed up
to pass gun control.
141
00:09:52,092 --> 00:09:53,385
Contradictions.
142
00:09:54,219 --> 00:09:58,015
When Malcolm X's widow arrived on
the anniversary of her husband's death,
143
00:09:58,015 --> 00:10:00,684
we showed up at the airport
to provide escort.
144
00:10:02,102 --> 00:10:04,229
That's when Eldridge Cleaver became
a Panther.
145
00:10:04,229 --> 00:10:06,940
And I became a symbol of the party,
146
00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:11,028
{\an8}which put me in the crosshairs of every
cop in the country.
147
00:10:18,744 --> 00:10:20,454
This shit again.
148
00:10:20,954 --> 00:10:22,122
Cowardly motherfucker.
149
00:10:26,585 --> 00:10:30,839
Well, well. The great Huey P. Newton.
Step out of the car.
150
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:35,260
- Why? I'm not stepping out of my car, man.
- Get out of the car.
151
00:10:35,260 --> 00:10:38,013
What's the cause for getting me
out of my car? Did I break any laws?
152
00:10:38,013 --> 00:10:39,473
Step out of the car.
153
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:41,767
Be cool, man. Be cool.
154
00:10:44,853 --> 00:10:46,772
- Right there's fine.
- Why you hassling me, man?
155
00:10:46,772 --> 00:10:49,316
- You go right there.
- Man, why you hassling me?
156
00:10:49,316 --> 00:10:51,527
- Excuse me? What did you say to me?
- Am I under arrest?
157
00:10:51,527 --> 00:10:53,737
- Am I under arrest?
- Where's your gun, Huey?
158
00:10:53,737 --> 00:10:55,989
- I thought you had a gun.
- Nobody said nothing about no gun.
159
00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:58,534
- You the motherfucker with a gun.
- Thought you fuckers carried guns.
160
00:10:58,534 --> 00:11:01,078
This racist-ass motherfucker
talking about a gun?
161
00:11:01,078 --> 00:11:04,122
If I did have a gun, pig,
I have a right to carry a gun.
162
00:11:04,122 --> 00:11:06,166
- Article one, section one...
- Fuck is this?
163
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:07,501
...of the California constitution
164
00:11:07,501 --> 00:11:11,505
guarantees my right to defend myself,
my life, and my liberty.
165
00:11:11,505 --> 00:11:13,674
I don't give a fuck about
your life and your liberty.
166
00:11:13,674 --> 00:11:16,301
- I will do so under the second amendment--
- This nigger's got a gun.
167
00:11:16,301 --> 00:11:18,887
- You a fucking racist-ass pig.
- You got a gun. This nigger's got a gun.
168
00:11:18,887 --> 00:11:21,557
- Nigger? Are you saying "nigger"?
- Yeah, you got a--
169
00:11:29,606 --> 00:11:32,150
They said I had a gun. But I didn't.
170
00:11:33,235 --> 00:11:34,987
They said I killed a cop.
171
00:11:36,029 --> 00:11:39,116
Lot of bullets was flying that night,
but none was mine.
172
00:11:40,284 --> 00:11:41,493
Didn't matter.
173
00:11:46,081 --> 00:11:48,083
Threw me in the soul breaker.
174
00:11:50,169 --> 00:11:51,378
Fuck you, pig.
175
00:11:52,212 --> 00:11:55,382
Three years in solitary
for a murder I didn't commit.
176
00:11:59,469 --> 00:12:03,140
My mind was torn apart.
177
00:12:04,183 --> 00:12:08,604
Everything I did wrong,
every regret, every fear.
178
00:12:17,821 --> 00:12:20,115
Then I heard what happened to Lil Bobby.
179
00:12:21,283 --> 00:12:23,285
They wanted to see me destroyed.
180
00:12:23,285 --> 00:12:26,079
Our freedom for our political prisoners.
Our Black--
181
00:12:26,997 --> 00:12:28,957
We want the end of police brutality--
182
00:12:29,666 --> 00:12:30,959
End of police brutality.
183
00:12:31,627 --> 00:12:33,045
I couldn't give 'em that.
184
00:12:33,795 --> 00:12:37,174
Yet somewhere deep inside,
I knew I had to fight.
185
00:12:37,174 --> 00:12:40,135
For him and for everyone who needed us.
186
00:12:44,014 --> 00:12:48,268
Somehow the message,
the ideas, they brought me back.
187
00:12:49,478 --> 00:12:52,648
They tried to break me
but they couldn't do it.
188
00:12:52,648 --> 00:12:54,566
I got my mind right.
189
00:12:56,777 --> 00:12:59,238
Then my conviction was overturned,
so they did what they did,
190
00:12:59,238 --> 00:13:00,239
what they had to do.
191
00:13:01,073 --> 00:13:02,908
Cleaned me up, and said I was free to go.
192
00:13:04,451 --> 00:13:06,703
Free? Yeah, right.
193
00:13:07,204 --> 00:13:11,834
I was set free a marked man,
and worse, a goddamn idol.
194
00:13:15,754 --> 00:13:19,258
Free Huey! Free Huey!
195
00:13:40,988 --> 00:13:42,489
{\an8}Power to the people!
196
00:13:51,790 --> 00:13:53,000
More power to the people!
197
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,503
Let's just do what we gotta do.
198
00:13:56,503 --> 00:13:59,923
- Bert, studio wants to stunt cast this.
- They want Monte Landis.
199
00:13:59,923 --> 00:14:02,676
- I think we should think about Rock.
- Hudson?
200
00:14:02,676 --> 00:14:04,011
No, the Rock of Gibraltar.
201
00:14:04,011 --> 00:14:06,972
"Celebrity" is its own kind of prison.
202
00:14:07,931 --> 00:14:09,933
But that's how
these producers took notice.
203
00:14:09,933 --> 00:14:12,895
- Bert Schneider and Steve Blauner.
- I am free!
204
00:14:13,687 --> 00:14:15,314
See, Bert's dad ran Columbia.
205
00:14:15,314 --> 00:14:18,400
{\an8}He scored his pops a cash-cow
with the Monkees,
206
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,069
{\an8}but wanted to kill the golden goose
to make a biker pic.
207
00:14:21,778 --> 00:14:25,782
With all you have,
and all the meshugas in this world,
208
00:14:26,408 --> 00:14:28,493
can't you just leave it alone
and enjoy your life?
209
00:14:30,495 --> 00:14:31,788
Like you did, Pop?
210
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:35,709
Bert's father remained silent
during the McCarthy trials.
211
00:14:35,709 --> 00:14:38,420
Some of us can't just sit on the side.
212
00:14:42,966 --> 00:14:46,553
I'll distribute the stupid biker thing,
but I'm not paying for it.
213
00:14:46,553 --> 00:14:48,305
It's your money, your bet.
214
00:14:49,306 --> 00:14:51,517
Mine is, you're gonna lose your shirt.
215
00:14:52,768 --> 00:14:56,146
Bullshit. There's gonna be lines
around the block.
216
00:14:56,730 --> 00:14:59,566
That stupid biker thing turned out
to be Easy Rider.
217
00:14:59,566 --> 00:15:01,985
And there were indeed lines
around the block.
218
00:15:03,529 --> 00:15:06,865
Talk about a star.
That guy's a fucking star.
219
00:15:07,658 --> 00:15:08,575
Here we go.
220
00:15:09,618 --> 00:15:11,828
Bert was tired
of cultural revolutionaries,
221
00:15:11,828 --> 00:15:14,998
and when he saw me he saw cinema verité.
222
00:15:15,832 --> 00:15:17,668
- Real revolution.
- Right on!
223
00:15:17,668 --> 00:15:19,962
Ho Chi Minh in the home land.
224
00:15:20,838 --> 00:15:22,714
And he could never turn that off.
225
00:15:26,635 --> 00:15:29,596
{\an8}Say, man,
who are all these people, man?
226
00:15:29,596 --> 00:15:31,974
{\an8}I don't know who half these people are.
Where's Gwen?
227
00:15:31,974 --> 00:15:34,476
{\an8}Gwen's with the kids,
but it's good to have you back, brother.
228
00:15:34,476 --> 00:15:36,854
{\an8}Ain't out the woods yet, man.
Still got another trial.
229
00:15:36,854 --> 00:15:38,647
Another expensive trial.
230
00:15:38,647 --> 00:15:43,026
Between you, Ericka, George Jackson,
the Siete de la Raza, it all adds up.
231
00:15:44,069 --> 00:15:45,654
Hell, we need gas.
232
00:15:45,654 --> 00:15:48,198
Help get folks up
to see our comrades in prison.
233
00:15:48,198 --> 00:15:49,241
I hear that, sister.
234
00:15:49,241 --> 00:15:51,201
I know y'all hear that,
but are you listening?
235
00:15:51,201 --> 00:15:52,744
We're running on empty.
236
00:15:53,412 --> 00:15:59,293
I got somebody to help lighten the load
on legal fees, gas, you name it.
237
00:15:59,293 --> 00:16:00,669
Anything else you might need.
238
00:16:00,669 --> 00:16:03,630
Teressa was a rising star
within the party.
239
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,383
Who the hell is Berton Jerome?
240
00:16:06,383 --> 00:16:08,552
Bert Schneider. A friend of Elaine's.
241
00:16:08,552 --> 00:16:11,180
- Wonderbread?
- Whole lot of bread.
242
00:16:11,180 --> 00:16:14,516
Produces movies.
Easy Rider, Five Easy Pieces.
243
00:16:14,516 --> 00:16:17,311
Got one coming out later this fall,
Last Picture Show.
244
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,860
The party could use Bert's money
to support the survival programs.
245
00:16:24,860 --> 00:16:27,738
Hollywood is the fast track
to capitalist co-optation.
246
00:16:27,738 --> 00:16:29,281
You got that right.
247
00:16:29,781 --> 00:16:31,033
You disagree?
248
00:16:31,033 --> 00:16:33,869
He wants in.
He's willing to do whatever it takes.
249
00:16:33,869 --> 00:16:36,788
White mother country radicals already
in the movement, brother.
250
00:16:37,331 --> 00:16:39,750
Look at the Freedom Riders,
Young Patriots.
251
00:16:39,750 --> 00:16:41,960
They got a role to play
if they willing to play.
252
00:16:42,794 --> 00:16:44,838
Sounds like something to consider,
Brother Huey.
253
00:16:48,342 --> 00:16:49,801
Let me explain something to you.
254
00:16:51,512 --> 00:16:54,264
All right. Them Appalachian white folks.
255
00:16:54,264 --> 00:16:55,933
Them working class thugs.
256
00:16:57,100 --> 00:17:01,980
They ain't Hollywood.
They poor folks just like us. You dig?
257
00:17:02,689 --> 00:17:04,525
The police whoop their ass, just like us.
258
00:17:04,525 --> 00:17:09,070
They got rats in their walls and
cockroaches in their cereal, just like us.
259
00:17:09,070 --> 00:17:12,199
They don't want in the movement, brother.
You understand?
260
00:17:13,534 --> 00:17:15,117
They don't want in the movement.
261
00:17:15,117 --> 00:17:16,537
What they want is to survive.
262
00:17:17,412 --> 00:17:19,705
And they can dig that
the Black Panther Party will help them
263
00:17:19,705 --> 00:17:23,252
more than any white police officer,
any white politician ever would.
264
00:17:23,836 --> 00:17:24,752
Right on.
265
00:17:26,296 --> 00:17:27,548
So, Brother David is right.
266
00:17:28,882 --> 00:17:30,175
We gotta find another way.
267
00:17:31,927 --> 00:17:34,179
I don't want us getting mixed up
in no Hollywood.
268
00:17:43,939 --> 00:17:45,399
Tell your pops he's all paid up.
269
00:17:45,983 --> 00:17:46,984
- All right.
- All right.
270
00:17:49,736 --> 00:17:53,699
Are you crazy?
Out here on your own. No protection.
271
00:17:54,449 --> 00:17:56,994
Can't be scared to be on the streets
with our own people, Teressa.
272
00:17:56,994 --> 00:17:58,078
Yeah.
273
00:17:58,579 --> 00:18:01,290
- All power to the people.
- All power to the people, brother.
274
00:18:03,834 --> 00:18:08,922
You know, my pops worked harder than
anybody I've ever seen, his whole life.
275
00:18:09,464 --> 00:18:12,092
- It's good to have you home, brother.
- Thank you, sis.
276
00:18:12,092 --> 00:18:15,596
He had two, three jobs at a time,
always paid his bills...
277
00:18:16,722 --> 00:18:19,349
never got in trouble with the law. Never--
278
00:18:19,349 --> 00:18:21,685
- See you at the rally next week.
- All right.
279
00:18:25,439 --> 00:18:28,650
Never got ahead either. You know,
always a half step better than broke.
280
00:18:29,568 --> 00:18:32,738
You get money for your programs,
you can change all that.
281
00:18:33,363 --> 00:18:35,532
- Brother Larry--
- Hey, Brother Larry's a sucker.
282
00:18:35,532 --> 00:18:38,118
He talks a good game,
but he ain't never been in no fight.
283
00:18:38,118 --> 00:18:40,954
- It ain't always about fighting.
- It is about fighting, Teressa.
284
00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:44,708
My father always said, "Always
look 'em in the eye. Always advance."
285
00:18:44,708 --> 00:18:48,754
I can tell you everything you need to know
about a man by what he does in a fight.
286
00:18:48,754 --> 00:18:52,508
Well, I'll tell you this, for what
you wanna do, you should check out Bert.
287
00:18:53,467 --> 00:18:54,885
Did you give him some, Teressa?
288
00:18:56,595 --> 00:18:59,556
Oh, shit. You did, didn't you?
289
00:19:00,891 --> 00:19:03,018
Guess you got that $100,000 thing, huh?
290
00:19:03,018 --> 00:19:06,313
Well, you should know.
Can't put a price tag on perfect.
291
00:19:07,564 --> 00:19:08,565
But no.
292
00:19:10,651 --> 00:19:16,615
Huey, my daddy didn't struggle
like yours did. He split.
293
00:19:17,366 --> 00:19:21,745
And my mom had it twice as hard raising us
on top of all those jobs.
294
00:19:21,745 --> 00:19:24,873
I think about all she did to get me here.
295
00:19:25,749 --> 00:19:30,087
And how much it would have meant
to lighten the load just a little bit.
296
00:19:30,838 --> 00:19:32,256
Just give him a shot, Huey.
297
00:19:38,262 --> 00:19:39,805
You did give him some, didn't you?
298
00:19:41,098 --> 00:19:42,474
I ain't saying nothing.
299
00:19:54,611 --> 00:19:57,072
I heard somebody say
Jack Nicholson was gonna be in here.
300
00:19:58,490 --> 00:20:03,203
Oh, shit. Brando! I gotta thank him
for what he said at my thing.
301
00:20:06,957 --> 00:20:09,126
- I'ma go find Bert.
- All right.
302
00:20:25,893 --> 00:20:29,146
Damn. Huey motherfucking Newton.
303
00:20:29,146 --> 00:20:31,148
- Richard Pryor.
- What's happening?
304
00:20:31,982 --> 00:20:33,442
Bert trying to get down with the Panthers?
305
00:20:34,109 --> 00:20:36,570
- Yeah, he's trying, brother.
- Far fucking out.
306
00:20:37,196 --> 00:20:39,948
Say, man, what do you think
about these white folk?
307
00:20:39,948 --> 00:20:42,993
This here is a special breed of honky.
308
00:20:43,660 --> 00:20:46,163
One that, deep in their genes,
they got a lot of guilt.
309
00:20:46,997 --> 00:20:49,208
They willing to pay a steep price
for absolution.
310
00:20:51,043 --> 00:20:54,004
Now here come the best argument yet
for segregation.
311
00:20:55,005 --> 00:20:56,423
Bert, dig.
312
00:20:56,423 --> 00:20:59,843
Richard Pryor as Huey P. Newton
in The Huey Newton Story.
313
00:21:00,385 --> 00:21:01,595
Well, don't we look alike?
314
00:21:04,097 --> 00:21:06,099
- Not really.
- Damn.
315
00:21:06,725 --> 00:21:10,395
The one time I need a white guy who can't
tell us apart, I get the pasty Panther.
316
00:21:11,396 --> 00:21:13,273
Now he'll probably get
Warren Beatty or somebody.
317
00:21:13,273 --> 00:21:16,568
Put some shoe polish on his face
and have him play you. Ain't that right?
318
00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:18,862
I'ma let y'all talk y'all business.
319
00:21:19,363 --> 00:21:20,989
I'ma tell all my people I met you tonight.
320
00:21:20,989 --> 00:21:22,574
- They gonna shit.
- Same, brother.
321
00:21:23,242 --> 00:21:24,243
Play nice.
322
00:21:26,203 --> 00:21:27,371
- Be cool.
- I'm cool.
323
00:21:30,082 --> 00:21:31,083
Let me show you around.
324
00:21:31,083 --> 00:21:32,501
I think I get it.
325
00:21:33,085 --> 00:21:35,671
There's really nothing to get.
Could all burn tomorrow.
326
00:21:35,671 --> 00:21:38,507
I don't know, man. Look like to me
you got it made in the shade.
327
00:21:39,842 --> 00:21:41,385
Why you wanna mess around with us?
328
00:21:41,385 --> 00:21:42,845
Well, who says I'm messing?
329
00:21:42,845 --> 00:21:44,137
Can't be no other way.
330
00:21:45,138 --> 00:21:48,016
Revolution's survival to me.
It's optional to you.
331
00:21:48,016 --> 00:21:49,852
That's exactly why I gotta do it.
332
00:21:56,024 --> 00:21:57,317
Look, America's not Cuba.
333
00:21:57,317 --> 00:22:01,154
You're not gonna overthrow the government
with 42 people hanging out in the jungle.
334
00:22:01,780 --> 00:22:03,949
You have to change
the way that people think.
335
00:22:03,949 --> 00:22:06,201
Yeah, that's cool for you down here.
336
00:22:06,201 --> 00:22:09,162
But in Oakland, we're fighting
a low-grade guerrilla war every day.
337
00:22:11,582 --> 00:22:13,542
Look at that thing in Algeria.
338
00:22:13,542 --> 00:22:14,626
Look at Algeria.
339
00:22:14,626 --> 00:22:16,461
People fought, and they didn't let go.
340
00:22:16,461 --> 00:22:19,047
Okay, no,
I'm talking about The Battle of Algiers.
341
00:22:19,047 --> 00:22:20,382
- The movie.
- Right.
342
00:22:20,382 --> 00:22:23,427
That's the cri de coeur
for all those kids out in the streets.
343
00:22:24,178 --> 00:22:25,179
All right.
344
00:22:25,179 --> 00:22:28,640
Yeah, a lot of kids saw it,
and it got 'em high on revolution.
345
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,017
That movie minted fighters.
346
00:22:30,017 --> 00:22:31,935
That's the power of the silver screen.
347
00:22:31,935 --> 00:22:34,229
Hollywood's always been late to the party,
348
00:22:34,229 --> 00:22:36,315
but these people
are trying to change all that.
349
00:22:36,315 --> 00:22:38,609
You're looking at
the world's best storytellers,
350
00:22:38,609 --> 00:22:40,235
and there's no politics without a story.
351
00:22:40,235 --> 00:22:43,572
Yeah, but what story you trying to tell?
And why should you tell it?
352
00:22:43,572 --> 00:22:44,781
No, not tell it.
353
00:22:45,741 --> 00:22:47,034
Just make it possible.
354
00:22:48,243 --> 00:22:50,037
I wanna finance the revolution.
355
00:22:55,709 --> 00:22:58,420
- In order for people to survive, right...
- Yeah.
356
00:22:58,420 --> 00:23:00,964
...they have to understand
how to survive in this racist system.
357
00:23:00,964 --> 00:23:02,424
But it's all about consciousness.
358
00:23:02,424 --> 00:23:04,551
- Gotta raise it.
- Then the people will pick up the gun.
359
00:23:04,551 --> 00:23:07,012
- Nah, I'm putting the gun aside.
- Go after the superstructure.
360
00:23:07,012 --> 00:23:09,014
- Capitalism is the cornerstone.
- Gotta knock out that block.
361
00:23:09,014 --> 00:23:10,349
We're doing it block to block.
362
00:23:10,349 --> 00:23:12,976
Up in Oakland, right,
we're educating our own.
363
00:23:12,976 --> 00:23:15,521
We're feeding our own,
clothing, shelter, and health care.
364
00:23:15,521 --> 00:23:16,939
So you nationalize the community.
365
00:23:16,939 --> 00:23:19,858
Show the lumpenproletariat that
they can do better than the imperialists.
366
00:23:19,858 --> 00:23:20,943
So you do it up there,
367
00:23:20,943 --> 00:23:22,986
and then other communities
will see what's possible.
368
00:23:22,986 --> 00:23:25,405
Fire is lit.
The revolution starts to spread.
369
00:23:25,405 --> 00:23:27,115
This is a dangerous idea.
370
00:23:28,408 --> 00:23:30,827
You're gonna be
the most dangerous man in America.
371
00:23:30,827 --> 00:23:33,956
You ask J. Edgar Hoover, I already am.
372
00:23:37,042 --> 00:23:38,043
Smoke this.
373
00:23:58,647 --> 00:24:01,692
You know,
I'm not trying to control your message.
374
00:24:01,692 --> 00:24:03,443
I'll do whatever the party needs.
375
00:24:03,443 --> 00:24:04,903
Propaganda for the people.
376
00:24:06,405 --> 00:24:08,156
And what happens
when the law comes knocking
377
00:24:08,156 --> 00:24:10,075
or these studios stop taking your call?
378
00:24:10,075 --> 00:24:12,578
Well, I have a saying
when we pick projects.
379
00:24:12,578 --> 00:24:15,247
"If it's not worth risking everything
to do, it's not worth doing."
380
00:24:15,247 --> 00:24:16,874
Right. What about your life?
381
00:24:18,125 --> 00:24:19,668
What would you die for, Bert?
382
00:24:19,668 --> 00:24:22,713
Well, I think
what you're really asking is,
383
00:24:22,713 --> 00:24:24,006
how full of shit am I?
384
00:24:25,841 --> 00:24:30,387
Seems like I'm always measuring my actions
against my convictions
385
00:24:31,221 --> 00:24:32,222
and coming up short.
386
00:24:35,517 --> 00:24:37,853
If I take this money,
who am I accountable to?
387
00:24:38,437 --> 00:24:39,771
Nobody.
388
00:24:40,355 --> 00:24:41,607
That's not how I work.
389
00:24:41,607 --> 00:24:44,860
I hire the best artists,
and I give them free rein.
390
00:24:44,860 --> 00:24:47,070
Jack, isn't that right?
391
00:24:47,070 --> 00:24:49,781
He writes the checks and stays away.
392
00:24:50,282 --> 00:24:52,201
I let the talent tell the story.
393
00:24:52,201 --> 00:24:53,285
Right.
394
00:24:53,952 --> 00:24:56,705
- Right. And who do you see as the talent?
- Well, I think that's obvious.
395
00:24:57,831 --> 00:25:00,000
The face of the revolution has to be you.
396
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,044
And by me, you mean...
397
00:25:03,587 --> 00:25:06,089
You mean the guy in the chair
with the rifle and spear.
398
00:25:07,174 --> 00:25:09,301
Yeah.
399
00:25:09,843 --> 00:25:11,637
The baddest motherfucker on the planet.
400
00:25:18,393 --> 00:25:19,394
Think about it.
401
00:25:21,605 --> 00:25:23,190
What is it? Did I say something wrong?
402
00:25:23,774 --> 00:25:27,819
No. He just doesn't feel
it's the right direction for the party.
403
00:25:27,819 --> 00:25:29,863
What direction?
I throw money his direction.
404
00:25:29,863 --> 00:25:31,114
He can do whatever he wants.
405
00:25:31,698 --> 00:25:33,534
He doesn't wanna
get in bed with Hollywood.
406
00:25:33,534 --> 00:25:35,911
Let me come up there
and meet with him again.
407
00:25:35,911 --> 00:25:38,789
- Five minutes, he owes me that.
- Owes you?
408
00:25:39,540 --> 00:25:40,791
Bert, he doesn't want to.
409
00:25:40,791 --> 00:25:44,211
Everybody wants to meet with me,
I'm Bert fucking Schneider.
410
00:25:47,589 --> 00:25:50,217
Once we get in there
I need you to handle it, all right?
411
00:25:51,093 --> 00:25:53,637
Huey! Huey.
412
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:55,806
Man, are you tailing me?
413
00:25:57,015 --> 00:25:58,016
No.
414
00:25:58,517 --> 00:25:59,518
Well, kinda.
415
00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:02,563
Can you please just give me five minutes?
416
00:26:02,563 --> 00:26:04,022
I wanna help, that's all.
417
00:26:04,022 --> 00:26:05,732
I can help you finish building the houses.
418
00:26:05,732 --> 00:26:08,527
I can help build the schools.
I can help build the clinics.
419
00:26:08,527 --> 00:26:09,987
Right. And then what?
420
00:26:09,987 --> 00:26:11,488
Then you wanna put your name
over the door?
421
00:26:12,197 --> 00:26:13,198
Of course not.
422
00:26:15,909 --> 00:26:17,744
Yeah, you say that now,
423
00:26:17,744 --> 00:26:20,622
but, once you write that check,
you gonna want something for it.
424
00:26:20,622 --> 00:26:21,707
Like what?
425
00:26:22,499 --> 00:26:24,793
Well, you gonna want people to know.
426
00:26:25,335 --> 00:26:26,503
Not my style.
427
00:26:27,504 --> 00:26:31,175
Look, I know you mean well,
but see, the thing is,
428
00:26:31,175 --> 00:26:33,510
we got money coming in
from our own people now.
429
00:26:34,052 --> 00:26:36,388
So, there just ain't no place
in the movement
430
00:26:36,388 --> 00:26:38,515
for a Hollywood white boy, you dig?
431
00:26:43,187 --> 00:26:45,189
- Huey, he--
- Don't start with me, Teressa.
432
00:26:45,189 --> 00:26:46,315
I ain't saying nothing.
433
00:26:46,315 --> 00:26:47,399
Hey, listen.
434
00:26:49,318 --> 00:26:52,613
Only the people can transform society,
Teressa. Not stars.
435
00:26:53,155 --> 00:26:55,616
Now, I don't want Hollywood
sidetracking us.
436
00:26:55,616 --> 00:26:57,159
That's not protecting the party.
437
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,288
You worried about them sidetracking
the movement or sidetracking you?
438
00:27:01,872 --> 00:27:03,081
Same thing.
439
00:27:14,343 --> 00:27:15,886
Got a report of loitering.
440
00:27:15,886 --> 00:27:17,638
What you guys doing, huh?
441
00:27:17,638 --> 00:27:20,140
- Penal code 647H PC...
- Penal code.
442
00:27:20,140 --> 00:27:22,601
...makes it a crime for a person to loiter
on someone's property--
443
00:27:22,601 --> 00:27:24,728
- Who the fuck--
- You motherfu--
444
00:27:24,728 --> 00:27:25,812
Watch my mouth?
445
00:27:25,812 --> 00:27:27,105
- You call me a cracker?
- Yeah, pig.
446
00:27:27,105 --> 00:27:28,899
- Yeah, I did. Fuck you, cracker.
- Be cool.
447
00:27:28,899 --> 00:27:30,150
Are you out of your head...
448
00:27:30,150 --> 00:27:31,485
Get your fucking hands off her.
449
00:27:31,485 --> 00:27:34,154
Why y'all always fucking with us?
Why you always fucking with us?
450
00:27:34,154 --> 00:27:36,406
What are you two doing? Are you crazy?
We'll run you in.
451
00:27:36,406 --> 00:27:37,658
- Get the fuck out of here.
- Fucker.
452
00:27:37,658 --> 00:27:39,701
Fuck you
and all the niggers that follow you.
453
00:27:43,413 --> 00:27:45,624
Hey, whoa! Officer!
454
00:27:45,624 --> 00:27:47,751
- They weren't doing anything.
- Get away from me.
455
00:27:49,002 --> 00:27:50,462
- Back up!
- I'm Bert Schneider.
456
00:27:50,462 --> 00:27:51,588
I'm here from Los Angeles.
457
00:27:52,089 --> 00:27:53,841
Back the fuck up! I don't give a shit!
458
00:27:53,841 --> 00:27:56,051
Hey, you get your hands off me.
Don't you touch me!
459
00:27:56,051 --> 00:27:57,177
Fuck you!
460
00:28:02,641 --> 00:28:04,977
- You got him. You don't need...
- Back up!
461
00:28:18,782 --> 00:28:20,158
This is bullshit.
462
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,985
{\an8}A massive nationwide manhunt is
now underway.
463
00:28:54,985 --> 00:29:00,657
{\an8}Huey P. Newton is wanted in the shooting
of a 17-year-old Bay Area prostitute.
464
00:29:00,657 --> 00:29:03,202
{\an8}So that's how I ended up here,
465
00:29:03,202 --> 00:29:06,914
hiding out in a little girl's bedroom
in a mansion in Bel Air.
466
00:29:08,665 --> 00:29:09,958
It's all gonna be okay.
467
00:29:10,459 --> 00:29:13,378
Bert's gonna get you
that fancy white lawyer.
468
00:29:13,962 --> 00:29:17,132
We were in his house for five minutes,
and he shoved us out the door.
469
00:29:17,633 --> 00:29:20,302
You know you couldn't get rid of Bert
if you tried.
470
00:29:21,011 --> 00:29:22,429
He'll come through for us.
471
00:29:24,181 --> 00:29:26,558
They sound extremely confident.
472
00:29:26,558 --> 00:29:30,437
The state says they have shell casings,
forensics, eyewitnesses.
473
00:29:30,437 --> 00:29:31,647
It's a frame-up, Bill.
474
00:29:31,647 --> 00:29:33,982
You know,
their eyewitness is a streetwalker.
475
00:29:35,150 --> 00:29:37,194
Probably coercing her six ways to Sunday.
476
00:29:37,194 --> 00:29:38,695
Huey didn't kill that girl.
477
00:29:38,695 --> 00:29:40,072
This is a setup.
478
00:29:40,572 --> 00:29:42,908
You should get
as far away from this as possible.
479
00:29:42,908 --> 00:29:44,618
You're harboring a fugitive.
480
00:29:44,618 --> 00:29:46,328
If you destroy evidence...
481
00:29:48,914 --> 00:29:51,041
You're not destroying evidence, are you?
482
00:29:53,252 --> 00:29:55,629
You've never heard the words "Huey"
or "Newton".
483
00:29:55,629 --> 00:29:58,048
- We need the car in the hole.
- Shut the fuck up. You're robbing me.
484
00:29:58,048 --> 00:29:59,216
Fucking sold!
485
00:30:00,717 --> 00:30:01,760
- Of course not.
- No.
486
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,971
- Why would we do that?
- Little offended at the suggestion.
487
00:30:04,763 --> 00:30:05,764
Good.
488
00:30:08,433 --> 00:30:11,728
Huey's only chance right now
is to turn himself in.
489
00:30:12,980 --> 00:30:14,189
You're out of your fucking tree.
490
00:30:14,189 --> 00:30:17,901
I can't look at their evidence and start
to fight till after he's in custody.
491
00:30:17,901 --> 00:30:20,737
He was in solitary for 34 months.
He'd die sooner.
492
00:30:20,737 --> 00:30:22,364
Then you probably all will.
493
00:30:22,364 --> 00:30:23,991
Wait, I'm sorry. What?
494
00:30:24,491 --> 00:30:27,119
If he keeps running, they will find him.
495
00:30:27,119 --> 00:30:29,371
They will kill him and anyone he's with.
496
00:30:32,416 --> 00:30:36,003
They created SWAT
specifically to raid Panthers.
497
00:30:36,587 --> 00:30:39,131
This isn't a movie, Bert.
There won't be any knock at the door.
498
00:30:39,131 --> 00:30:41,175
There won't be a warrant. They'll just--
499
00:30:43,427 --> 00:30:44,803
Did you hear that?
500
00:30:49,683 --> 00:30:50,893
What? Do you hear that?
501
00:30:50,893 --> 00:30:52,019
Let's go.
502
00:30:52,019 --> 00:30:53,270
What was that?
503
00:30:53,896 --> 00:30:55,022
Bert, let's just go.
504
00:30:55,606 --> 00:30:57,608
- We should go.
- Shit.
505
00:31:01,653 --> 00:31:03,572
- Move! Move! Move!
- Fuck! Shit!
506
00:31:06,241 --> 00:31:07,326
Shit!
507
00:31:21,381 --> 00:31:23,175
It'll go something like that.
508
00:31:28,514 --> 00:31:31,600
If you love Huey,
don't let him martyr himself.
509
00:31:32,643 --> 00:31:33,685
Get him to come in.
510
00:31:37,105 --> 00:31:40,067
I mean, I can dig this.
You out here hiding in plain sight, huh?
511
00:31:40,067 --> 00:31:42,486
Figure that's the last place
they'd think to look for me.
512
00:31:47,866 --> 00:31:49,243
That shit I got from Big Bob.
513
00:31:51,453 --> 00:31:53,539
You know I met his scary ass in an alley?
514
00:31:54,122 --> 00:31:57,167
That is one morose motherfucker
right there, man.
515
00:31:57,668 --> 00:32:00,546
I mean he ain't crack nary a smile,
you dig?
516
00:32:01,296 --> 00:32:03,674
Consider that my contribution
to the revolution.
517
00:32:05,551 --> 00:32:06,635
Thank you, brother.
518
00:32:10,556 --> 00:32:11,557
Scared?
519
00:32:13,225 --> 00:32:15,686
Shit, I get nervous just going up
telling jokes sometimes.
520
00:32:15,686 --> 00:32:18,564
I mean, I can't imagine
what you're going through.
521
00:32:19,648 --> 00:32:21,483
After Malcolm and Martin.
522
00:32:21,483 --> 00:32:25,320
Man, I always knew
I was living on borrowed time, man.
523
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,031
I always knew
I was gonna die for the revolution.
524
00:32:30,659 --> 00:32:32,077
That don't mean I ain't scared.
525
00:32:33,078 --> 00:32:35,122
That's the definition of courage
right there.
526
00:32:35,122 --> 00:32:36,206
Doing it anyway.
527
00:32:36,915 --> 00:32:38,542
That or insanity.
528
00:32:39,251 --> 00:32:42,129
Shit.
I mean, I can't keep the two straight.
529
00:32:43,380 --> 00:32:44,381
Me neither, man.
530
00:32:47,509 --> 00:32:48,510
Uh-oh.
531
00:32:50,470 --> 00:32:52,931
Too slow. No.
532
00:32:52,931 --> 00:32:55,058
- Okay. You got me.
- Hey. There's my guys.
533
00:32:55,058 --> 00:32:56,727
I love this duo, huh?
534
00:32:56,727 --> 00:33:00,105
All right. Hey, Mike, what--
Let's let Uncle Bert and Huey talk, okay?
535
00:33:00,105 --> 00:33:01,064
Come on.
536
00:33:01,565 --> 00:33:03,442
- Fine.
- All right, fine.
537
00:33:03,442 --> 00:33:05,277
- Bye, Huey.
- Give me five.
538
00:33:06,737 --> 00:33:08,739
- All right.
- Don't let me catch you. C'mon.
539
00:33:12,409 --> 00:33:14,453
How's Kunstler?
540
00:33:14,453 --> 00:33:15,954
He all fired up for a fight?
541
00:33:19,958 --> 00:33:21,752
He thinks you should turn yourself in.
542
00:33:25,255 --> 00:33:27,341
And did you tell him to go fuck himself?
543
00:33:34,431 --> 00:33:35,849
I see how it is.
544
00:33:39,311 --> 00:33:40,312
After all that?
545
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,774
"I always wanna be down
with the movement",
546
00:33:43,774 --> 00:33:46,985
but when the rubber meets the road,
suddenly you a pedestrian?
547
00:33:48,070 --> 00:33:49,071
Gwen.
548
00:33:51,031 --> 00:33:52,032
Gwen! We leaving!
549
00:33:54,701 --> 00:33:57,913
Look, nobody wants to see you in prison,
and nobody wants to see you dead either.
550
00:33:57,913 --> 00:34:00,415
Actually, a lot of people
wanna see me dead, Bert.
551
00:34:00,415 --> 00:34:02,668
You think cops don't kill
niggas in the pen?
552
00:34:04,503 --> 00:34:06,922
"I'll do whatever it takes
to be down with the movement, Huey."
553
00:34:06,922 --> 00:34:08,549
Those were your words.
554
00:34:10,092 --> 00:34:11,760
Knew it was jive when you said it.
555
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,388
How's it help the movement if you're dead?
556
00:34:14,388 --> 00:34:17,224
There's nowhere in the country
you can hide where they won't find you.
557
00:34:17,224 --> 00:34:18,725
That's why I'm leaving the country.
558
00:34:26,358 --> 00:34:28,485
- This isn't gonna work.
- And tell me why not.
559
00:34:32,739 --> 00:34:35,033
They're expecting you at every crossing.
560
00:34:35,033 --> 00:34:38,495
You're gonna need disguises,
transportation, a whole ton of shit.
561
00:34:38,495 --> 00:34:40,205
Where you gonna stay
when you get where you're going?
562
00:34:40,205 --> 00:34:42,583
How are we gonna keep you
from being extradited?
563
00:34:42,583 --> 00:34:45,502
- It's logistically impossible.
- Yeah. Well, I will figure it out, Bert.
564
00:34:46,085 --> 00:34:47,379
It's not that simple.
565
00:34:47,963 --> 00:34:50,757
You're the hotshot producer, man.
You wanna produce something? Produce this.
566
00:34:56,847 --> 00:34:58,932
How about we put you in a car to Canada--
567
00:34:58,932 --> 00:35:01,768
No. Man, they'd hunt me down
like the Weathermen.
568
00:35:01,768 --> 00:35:04,980
Well, we can't do Mexico, either.
Not with those fascists in power.
569
00:35:04,980 --> 00:35:07,107
You gotta be dry-humping me
this is what's happening.
570
00:35:07,107 --> 00:35:09,693
- Hush. This is good.
- I'm sorry, is this not my house?
571
00:35:09,693 --> 00:35:11,570
Gotta be a place with no extradition.
572
00:35:11,570 --> 00:35:13,822
- It's gotta be communist. Tanzania or--
- China?
573
00:35:14,573 --> 00:35:15,407
Algeria.
574
00:35:15,407 --> 00:35:17,492
No. Hell no. That's where Eldridge is.
575
00:35:19,411 --> 00:35:20,412
Cuba.
576
00:35:22,789 --> 00:35:23,999
Cuba.
577
00:35:25,167 --> 00:35:27,169
Believe the suspect is at the house.
578
00:35:27,169 --> 00:35:30,255
He's believed to be armed and dangerous.
All units proceed with caution.
579
00:35:34,051 --> 00:35:35,969
Ninety miles off the coast of Florida.
580
00:35:35,969 --> 00:35:38,972
- Castro would welcome you with open arms.
- Wait a second.
581
00:35:38,972 --> 00:35:41,225
You're not actually considering this,
are you?
582
00:35:41,225 --> 00:35:42,309
Bert, what's he gonna do?
583
00:35:42,309 --> 00:35:44,269
No, please, tell me, Huey,
what are you gonna do?
584
00:35:44,269 --> 00:35:46,146
You gonna skyjack a plane?
Is that what's on the menu?
585
00:35:46,146 --> 00:35:49,566
No, that's déclassé
for a revolutionary of his stature.
586
00:35:49,566 --> 00:35:50,776
We'll find another way.
587
00:35:50,776 --> 00:35:52,402
I don't know how yet.
588
00:35:52,402 --> 00:35:54,154
Doesn't matter. It's plot, execution.
589
00:35:54,154 --> 00:35:56,240
It's not execution.
We're gonna get executed.
590
00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:57,574
Cuba could work.
591
00:35:57,574 --> 00:36:00,118
It's not gonna work, Bert.
Not with the Feds watching us here.
592
00:36:00,118 --> 00:36:01,495
What we do is-- Check it out.
593
00:36:01,495 --> 00:36:04,414
What we do is, we make it look
like it's one of your movies.
594
00:36:05,415 --> 00:36:07,125
It's just some cats doing a production.
595
00:36:07,125 --> 00:36:10,003
Exactly. It's a location shoot
as far as the Feds are concerned.
596
00:36:10,003 --> 00:36:14,132
We got hair, makeup,
wardrobe, travel, a star.
597
00:36:16,051 --> 00:36:16,969
Call Karen Carpenter.
598
00:36:16,969 --> 00:36:18,262
- We're gonna need some cash.
- No.
599
00:36:18,262 --> 00:36:20,347
No, we gonna keep the circle small, man.
600
00:36:20,347 --> 00:36:21,807
No. You-- No.
601
00:36:21,807 --> 00:36:23,141
Gentlemen, stop.
602
00:36:24,059 --> 00:36:25,143
Move! Move! Move!
603
00:36:25,143 --> 00:36:26,937
You heard Kunstler, okay?
604
00:36:26,937 --> 00:36:28,021
This is not a movie.
605
00:36:28,021 --> 00:36:31,066
Those bullets are real.
They go inside you, the end.
606
00:36:34,194 --> 00:36:36,280
- Steve.
- Don't "Steve" me. C'mon.
607
00:36:36,864 --> 00:36:38,115
- Don't look at him.
- Steve.
608
00:36:38,115 --> 00:36:40,033
This is me, baby. Come on.
609
00:36:40,033 --> 00:36:41,952
Bert, bring your brain back from lunch.
610
00:36:41,952 --> 00:36:43,036
- Steve.
- Buddy, come on.
611
00:36:43,036 --> 00:36:44,872
Let's just go back to our projects, right?
612
00:36:44,872 --> 00:36:47,833
- Let's just go find the next big picture.
- Steve, it's over.
613
00:36:48,333 --> 00:36:49,418
I don't care anymore.
614
00:36:49,418 --> 00:36:51,920
We revolutionized movies,
big fucking deal.
615
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,674
This, Huey's fight, this is real life.
616
00:36:55,674 --> 00:36:58,177
Something worth risking everything to do.
617
00:36:59,219 --> 00:37:00,888
This is our next big picture.
618
00:37:09,354 --> 00:37:10,439
Check those doors.
619
00:37:11,148 --> 00:37:12,608
Let's get this motherfucker.
620
00:37:20,073 --> 00:37:22,826
What did we do?
We were just in a school play.
621
00:37:22,826 --> 00:37:25,204
The fuck are Schneider and Newton?
622
00:37:25,204 --> 00:37:27,789
You've gotta be fucking kidding me.
623
00:37:28,290 --> 00:37:31,919
That's right, y'all remember
that hippie Fed who was hunting me down?
624
00:37:32,503 --> 00:37:37,716
And yes, the FBI really did raid Bert's
house and a theater-school toga party.
625
00:37:38,342 --> 00:37:39,343
Fuck!
626
00:37:45,849 --> 00:37:46,934
To Cuba.
627
00:37:46,934 --> 00:37:48,435
- To Cuba.
- To Cuba.
628
00:37:48,435 --> 00:37:50,437
Hasta la Victoria, siempre.
