:23:05
Why you gotta go, Lesra?
:23:07
- Don't you want me to go, El?
- You should be here backin' me up.
:23:11
Leave the boy, Elston.
Lesra goin' to Toronto now.
:23:14
Got a job to do.
Wants to go to college.
:23:26
After eight years atJamesburg,
I escaped.
:23:30
I was angry,
embittered with life.
:23:33
I ran as ifon a cloud...
:23:36
unaware of how high I was stepping
or of anything else around me.
:23:40
There was room in my head
for only one word...
:23:43
one thought:
:23:46
freedom.
:23:49
I ran straight into the U.S. Army
and a pair of paratrooper wings...
:23:53
and my whole life changed.
:23:55
I learned that
knowledge of self and kind...
:23:57
is the only true means
to the liberation of the black man.
:24:00
I could do anything.
I overcame my stutter.
:24:03
I became a prizefighter.
I came back to Paterson...
:24:06
the all-Army European
welterweight champ.
:24:09
Let me have a soda, please.
:24:11
Judy, who's that fine soldier
standing over there at the bar?
:24:22
Oh, he's a local boy.
Rubin Carter, I think.
:24:32
Make it two.
:24:38
- He's comin' over here.
- Uh-oh. Stay cool.
:24:48
I'm back. I'm back.
:24:50
- Mmm, so you missed me, did you?
- So tell me--
:24:54
- Well, what do you want to know?
- You're in my seat.
:24:59
Uh, you know, I'm from Georgia.
