A hired killer.
How could you choose such a life?
1:03:07
Choose?
Why did you marry Crane Adams?
1:03:12
Shall I help? You both loved music.
1:03:16
He lost his arm
in the holy war to free the slaves,
1:03:19
lost music with his arm.
1:03:21
So you made it up to him,
1:03:24
hating slavery as you do.
1:03:26
If you do.
1:03:28
Because I've never seen it?
1:03:30
Can't you hate an idea? I hated it.
1:03:32
- And loved Crane for hating it too?
- Wanted to.
1:03:36
You're forgetting
I was born in New Orleans,
1:03:39
where we see things differently.
1:03:42
- Black men are born to be slaves.
- You can't believe that.
1:03:47
- Because all men are born equal?
- They should be.
1:03:51
Now, you wanted to know
how I turned gunfighter.
1:03:57
Well, my father educated me
1:03:59
beyond what the New Orleanians
would call my station in life.
1:04:05
- I don't understand.
- You don't?
1:04:08
My mother asked my father
to improve my position.
1:04:12
He refused.
1:04:15
She kept asking.
1:04:17
It annoyed him.
1:04:20
So he sold her.
1:04:27
You see, we could say
that Crane lost his arm to free me.
1:04:33
To free me for what?
1:04:35
That is the question, Mrs Adams.
1:04:41
Have you lost your voice?
1:04:47
Don't look like that.
1:04:50
It's not what you've just told me, it's...
1:04:54
- It's what it's made of you.
- No.
1:04:56
There was a wide choice
for the son of a quadroon slave.
