Bump,
we've got a problem.

Over at the warehouse
in the Bronx.

They killed one of yours,

and they killed one of yours.

Someone, doesn't like
you two are in business.

Must be one
of the Italian bosses.

I been expecting them
to make a move.

Chin's a fucking bum.

Chin's my partner.

Something fucked up's
going on.

We just don't know
what's what.



You team with Bonanno and me,

you keep Lucchese
and Gambino at bay.

The fuck is going on?

We need to give
the families a piece.

You wouldn't even have
the Ten Harlems without me!

I'll shut it down! You Hear me!

The FBI usually parks
a car outside my house,

watching me 24/7.

Shouldn't I feel safe?

"I've had sexual relations
with your husband,

and I am pregnant."

This is the work of someone
trying to divide us.

- Who?
- The Nation. Maybe The FBI.

I'd like to ask you to think
about staying at the Temple.



I don't want to stay
if you're not there.

I'd like to have someone
be my eyes and ears

about what mischief
they're cooking up.

My loyalty is with
the Nation.

Any contact with Malcolm

will be met with
serious repercussions.

I'm gonna get justice
for your son.

Are you out of your mind?

- What the fuck did you do?!
- Fucking shoot her!

No, no!

I brought you this.

It's a gift
from Stella Gigante.

I'm not leaving Harlem.

And I will...

Did you hear the
Dear Holy Apostle's speech

where he said he wished
Malcolm would go away?

What are you saying,
Brother Charles?

That soon,
you won't have to worry

about that hypocrite anymore.

Look at me.

Bumpy Johnson.
I'm glad you came around.

Magliocco and I,
we're gonna take over

the next shipment entirely.

When I doubt friendships,
there is no friendship.

Don't move,
you dumb motherfucker.

Consider that a warning.

It's from

At least it doesn't
fuckin' smell, right?

And we know there's not
any rats here.

There's enough work here to keep
these men busy for years.

Yeah. It's good for
the both of us, huh?

Hey, I appreciate you
hiring those Negroes

out of Harlem to work here.

Well,
you asked me to do that.

Long as they pay their dues,

they vote for
who I tell them to, we're good.

You control the unions,
the shipping and receiving.

That's why I asked you
to come here.

Mm-hmm.

Everyone is excited

for the opening
of the New York World's Fair,

an exposition featuring
fantastic displays

and activities...

I'm sad that
your Secret Service agents

aren't able to drink on the job.

But we can.

Cheers.

...dedicated to
man's achievements

on a shrinking globe...

I'm telling you,
Mr. President,

that this World's Fair

is going to set
attendance records.

Ah, turn that shit off.

...in the past, 60...

Peace through understanding,
my ass.

That group of
Southern Democratic senators

who are in town
for your speech

should have
their own pavilion...

The Nation of Hypocrites.

Especially that motherfucking
Senator McCarron.

Filibusters
my Civil Rights bill,

but won't pass up any
photo opportunity with me.

McCarron and I used to
be able to compromise.

Now all he's interested in
is power and obstruction,

despite knowing
that his filibuster

is only delaying
the inevitable.

I don't give a shit
what he knows.

I need you to persuade.

You're my most loyal friend
in Congress, Adam.

But I need you to cut
this goddamn son of a bitch

off at the knees.

I don't care how you do it.

You want me to play dirty?

We can't afford
the high road.

What are you suggesting?

You and I both know
all the tricks,

but there's a limit
to what I can do as President.

I don't want to know about it,
but I will protect you.

Get him to end
the filibuster.

That's all I'm saying.

Well, what about peace
through understanding?

World's not fair, Adam.

No reason we should be either.

Carmine was a good earner.

This thing's a mess.

You know he had a wife
and kids, right?

What am I gonna tell them?

That he beat on a girl

and that he pulled a knife
on one of my men.

Your man who shot him
three times.

My guys are gonna want blood.
You know that.

Then you better calm them
the fuck down.

I knew some shit like this
would happen.

Chin,
we did the impossible.

We got these guys who would
ordinarily hate each other

to work together.

This thing could fuck up
our arrangement.

You gotta keep your men
under control.

Yeah.

You, too.

Yeah. I know.

You know, this Carmine,
he was...

You know, he was no good.

Look,
I'll tell you what.

Uh...

you get your guy
to leave town.

I'll... I'll handle
my men.

Leave town?

For how long?

For as long as he wants to live.
That's how long.

Who is it?

It's me.

It's 4:00 in the morning.
What you doing here?

I got a call from Bumpy.

He told me
to get outta town.

So why haven't you left?

I had to see you.

The hell
is wrong with you?

You got a death wish?

You knew I couldn't leave town
without seeing you.

Goddamn it, Chance.

You coulda shot him in the leg.
Did ya have to kill him?

He put a knife on you.
What was I supposed to do?

Stupid fool. I know how
to take care of myself.

Yeah. I know.

Let me get you a drink.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So, where you gonna go?

I can't tell you that.

Listen, Renee,
I made a lot of mistakes.

You know that better
than anybody.

Hm.
Yeah. You did.

You know,
the biggest regret of my life

is losing you.

Well, it shouldn't be.

You know we were
never gonna work out.

No.
We don't know that.

Hey.

We don't know that.

You and me, Renee,
we live in the dark.

We find our way
in the dark.

We got nobody to help us
in the dark.

You angling
for a pity fuck?

Come on.

Renee.

I need you.

The World's Fair engineers

created their finest ride
exclusively for the fair.

Hand in Hand
is a representation

of over 67 countries
living in harmony.

So we have to watch
President Johnson

speak at the World's Fair,

and then we have
to write about it.

Well, you already wrote about
the South Carolina exhibit

since you was down there
for three months.

Yeah, well, this is
a different assignment.

Can you come over
and watch it with me and Mommy?

Yes.
Of course.

If your mama says
it's all right.

What was your mommy like?

I barely knew her.

She died when
I was real little.

So...

I'm sad
you don't have a mommy.

I can't imagine
what that's like.

I love my mom more than anyone
in the whole world.

More than your father?

Yes.

More than me?

No.

It's a tie.

You know I can't
end the filibuster, Adam.

It's impossible.

Even if it's the right thing?

Now, what would
my constituents say?

I am loyal to their needs
and wants.

And what they want
is segregation.

My people have literally
fought and died

for this simple right...

To use hotels, restaurants,
and transportation

regardless of race.

These are the things
that one day

I want my children, and yours,
to take for granted.

The country's not ready yet,

and you know it.

We must make them ready.

It's called leadership.

Oh.

I won't allow it.

That's called politics.

How about I hold up
your farm bill in committee?

The people of your state
will starve.

You wouldn't do that.

Politics.

Well, my constituents
would rather scrounge for food

than be told what to do
by the government.

They'll vote you out of office
if they can't eat.

Well, I'm willing
to risk that.

The people of Arkansas
support me

because I'm fighting
for them, Adam.

Just like you're fighting
for Harlem.

We used to be friends.

Can't we come to
some understanding?

We're still friends.

Come on.
Don't take this personally.

All right, friend.

While you're in town
for the fair,

let's get a drink
at the Geechee Club.

It's the hottest spot
in Harlem.

They have the best booze

and the most beautiful women
in the world.

Interested?

The blacker the berry,
the sweeter the juice.

That's what they say.

That's what they say.

We've searched
every block in Harlem.

Can't find that nigger.

Well, he skipped town.
You know, forget about it.

What do you mean,
forget about it?

Yeah.

I'll track his black ass
across the country.

No, you won't.
We got business to do.

What are you talking about?
He killed Carmine.

Carmine's got a brick
for a fucking brain.

He didn't think twice,

pulled out his fucking knife
in a whorehouse.

Especially
thatwhorehouse.

Come on.

You defending
this cocksucker?

A mulignan kills your own man
and you're defending him?

Would you have done that?

Tell me something,
Gino...

Would you have
pulled a knife out

in that fucking
whorehouse?!

No.

So you watch yourself.

You know, if Benny was here,
he'd set you straight.

Yeah.

You need your consigliere
back from Miami,

'cause this is
bullshit!

Don't listen to him, boss.
He's an asshole.

I called Peter Bruno!

I called Tony Marchesi.

None of them crews
have seen him.

What are we
talking about here?

We're talking about Benny!
He's not in fuckin' Miami!

Maybe he took a trip with
one of those porno girls.

You know, he seemed
really into one of them.

It's the pornography
that got him killed.

And that's...

...that's
Bonanno's territory.

That fuckin'
cocksucker.

I can feel it.

That cocksucker had
him whacked.

You know, I'm responsible
for his death.

Whoa.
Who says he's dead?

He hasn't called
in six weeks.

He's dead.

I got a job for you.

You find the person that...
That killed Benny.

And...

you bring me
his head.

I only lied to Margaret
to stay in her life.

Well, the best way to undo a lie
is to tell the truth.

What if she rejects me?

What if when she finds out
you're her mother,

not her sister,
you confirm something

she already feels
in her soul?

Mm.

When I was an addict, I didn't
care about anyone or anything.

Even Margaret.

Now I care too much.

Well, through the grace
of Allah,

you've changed your life.

You've become strong.

Through the grace of Allah,
I met you.

I pray to him every day
for your safety,

and even though
I'm only staying there

to be your eyes
and ears,

Allah's message
still moves through me.

I want that
for Margaret.

I want to raise her
as a Muslim.

Have you discussed this
with Mayme and Bumpy?

No.

They'll probably
disown me.

Make sure I never get to see
Margaret again.

Have faith, Elise.
Pray for guidance.

A pure heart not only
seeks truth,

but speaks truth,
and your heart...

your heart is pure.

Mayme, I...

I'd like to ask you
a favor,

but it's
a sensitive topic.

I'm all ears, Reverend Powell.
How can I help?

Well, it has to do with getting
the Civil Rights Act passed.

I need to find
a way to convince

Senator McCarron
to drop that filibuster.

Which won't be easy.
He's a staunch segregationist.

He helped write
the Southern Manifesto...

"Separate but equal."

Although there's nothing
equal about it.

That's
an understatement.

Wingate, I'd like to speak
to Mrs. Johnson alone.

What? Why?

I don't need a reason.

Well, as your lawyer,
I think I should stay.

Oh. Well, you can stay,
but I'd have to fire you.

I happen to know
that your husband has,

at that fine establishment
the Geechee Club,

an assortment of ladies
that show affection for a price.

What does that have to do
with me, Congressman?

Senator McCarron has an eye
for the ladies,

and I thought...

Well,
I could use your help

in documenting
that predilection.

You want to honey-trap
a United States Senator?

This is about
our fight for freedom!

By any means necessary,
as our friend Malcolm says.

I need leverage on
that bastard.

We have the protection

of the president
of the United States.

What would you
need me to do?

I just need your help
in leading him to the bait.

I'm sure he'll do
the rest himself.

Maybe you should be talking
to my husband about this.

No, no, no, no.
Don't mention this to Bumpy.

I can't involve
criminals.

Isn't that a little bit
hypocritical?

Yes.

But I'm dealing with
hypocrites.

And as a man of God...

oh, I feel terrible.

But...

What the hell?

It's worth a shot.

Your father's convinced

Bonanno ordered
the hit on Benny.

He wants me to find out
whichever soldier did it

and take him out.

So what's wrong
with that?

A Bonanno soldier didn't do it,
Stell. We did.

It could start a war
with the families.

So they start a war.
So what?

So, people will die.

Not people, criminals.

Yeah.

Criminals like me.

That doesn't
bother you at all?

Yeah, it does.

You don't want to start a war,
let's tell my father the truth.

We killed
his best friend.

You're fuckin' nuts.

Maybe.

He'd kill the both of us.
You know that.

Don't be so sure.

I'm his flesh and blood.

Besides, I already did
the worst thing I can do to him.

I fucked a Negro.

So what the fuck
am I supposed to do?

You know anyone
in the Bonanno family?

Yeah, my cousin Rocco.

I haven't seen him
in years.

Take him out.

He's my fuckin' cousin,
Stell.

He kill anyone?

He's a fuckin'
degenerate.

He's killed
a lot of people.

You'd be doing someone
somewhere a favor.

No. No.

It doesn't matter how much
I fuckin' hate the guy,

I'm not pullin'
the trigger on him.

He's my cousin.

Then I'll tell my father
we did it.

I'm willing
to take the risk.

Hello, Ellsworth.

Hello,
Mr. Johnson.

Hey.

This about what happened
at the club the other night?

Yeah, sort of.

Uh, it's about
Chance.

What about him?

I'm... I'm worried
about him.

I sent him out of town.

He'll be safe.

He knows how to stay
out of trouble.

He'd be real mad if he knew
I was here, but, um...

he ain't leaving.

What?

He said ain't no way
the... the guineas

were gonna run him
out of Harlem.

I'm worried he's gonna
get himself killed.

Where is he?

Uh, he... he's at
my place.

He spent the night.
He loves me, Bumpy.

He don't want
to leave my side.

You gotta talk to him,
Ellsworth.

Chance is a grown man.

He can make
his own decisions.

If he wants to stay,
that's on him.

That's his choice.

What kind of attitude
is that?

I gave him an order.

He disobeys, it's on him.

I love him,
Mr. Johnson.

I came to you 'cause
I don't want him to die.

Can you please
talk some sense into him?

Ellsworth, what is
more important?

Your business with Chin Gigante
or Del's life?

This place
is amazing.

You should come to Harlem
more often.

Ernie,
it's good to see you.

How long
has it been?

Fuckin' five years.

I was at Aunt Connie's
last week,

and she asked
about you.

She remembered me?

Uncle Leo's
the one who's nuts.

Aunt Connie's
just stupid.

Anyway,
why'd you wanna see me?

You got a business
proposition?

Nah, I just wanted
to catch up.

- It's been years.
- Come on.

Everyone knows
your crew's raking it in

working with
the niggers.

It's driving
my boss crazy.

Bonanno crazy?

What a fuckin'
surprise.

You know them old guys,

with their stupid
fuckin' rules.

I don't get why two families
can't work together.

After all,
we're family, right?

Real family,
by blood.

It's 'cause we're supposed
to hate each other.

Supposed to hate
each other?

You're supposed
to hate niggers too,

but you made it work.

Ernie,
it's great to see you.

You know, Aunt Connie's
gonna be so happy

you and me
connected again.

Who's there?

It's me.

Fuck.

Why are you still here?
I told you to leave.

I ain't never disobeyed
your orders, Bumpy,

at least up till now.

You more than anyone knows
what's at stake here.

This could fuck things up
with Chin.

I already told him
that you was gone.

I ain't your responsibility,
Bumpy.

- I'll take my chances.
- The fuck you will!

This affects my business
as well as you!

Listen, when all five families
had a hit on you, you managed.

What you didn't do is run.
I can't do that neither.

Look...

I just wanna
keep you safe,

keep these guineas off
your back, man.

Bumpy, don't think
I don't appreciate that.

But I fight.

I don't run.

You think this is my fault,
right?

That I'm crazy to be working
with these Italians.

Those motherfuckers.

They act like
they're better than us.

Boss us around.

Curse us
under their breath.

Those fucks!

Look,
we expected that, Del.

We were willing
to ignore that shit

for the larger goal,
man.

We making a whole lot of money,
that's for sure.

But maybe we're losing
our dignity.

Maybe dignity has
its price.

Now, that is some dynamite,
swinging Harlem jazz.

You like that,
Senator?

Well,
I-I prefer banjo music.

Uh, you ever hear, uh,
Big John's Banjo Band?

Or Riverboat
Banjo Goodies?

They're playing at the Arkansas
Pavilion tomorrow night.

I-I'll send you a copy
of their record album.

Oh, I'd like that.

I'd like that a lot,
Senator.

Uh, perhaps this might be
the right time

to re-wet
our whistles.

Another round
for everyone?

Well,
I'll have another Sazerac.

Me, too.

Are you enjoying your stay
in our fair city, Senator?

Well,
I'm especially pleased

to discover a plenitude
of beautiful women.

You especially,
my dear.

Oh, how nice
of you to say.

My husband
would probably agree.

Oh, well, your husband
is a lucky man.

Are you married,
Senator?

Well, to my work,
as my wife would say.

Uh, well,
the... the people of Arkansas

come first in my life.

Ah, and I suppose
you could say

that theyare
my mistress, hmm?

Well, that is a lot
of mistresses.

I'm sorry.
What... What'd you say?

I said, that is a lot
of mistresses.

Well, the truth is...

I-I've been
very tense lately.

I need to relax.

Well,
we are very discreet here.

Mm.

We've had politicians
and statesmen.

Men of every walk of life
come here to...

relax, forget about
their troubles.

Are you... available?

Me?

You know, from the moment
I laid eyes on you,

I thought to myself,
"There she is,

the woman that I've been
looking for my whole life."

I'm married, Senator.

I'm sorry.
L-Let me explain.

You see,
when I was a boy...

...I was in love

with a woman who looked
just like you.

Well, who?

My mammy.

You remind me of her.

Senator,
we have a wonderful array

of other beautiful women
right up those stairs.

Ah.

Well,
if you will excuse me.

Well?

Did he take the bait?

I remind him
of his mammy.

Come on, ladies.

Don't leave him
waiting, now.

Oh.
Mercy, mercy me.

Well, uh...

I'll take 'em all.

The least I can do.

I didn't want to hurt
anyone's feelings.

Don't look so glum,
my dear.

Something just doesn't
feel right about this.

Mayme,
push those thoughts aside

in favor of
a world where

black and whites
live together in harmony.

♪ Hand in hand, hand in hand

♪ Young and old, hand in hand

Count it
on the way out.

There you are.

We got a problem.

What's that?

Chance is still in town.

I told him
he could stay.

Well, then yougot
a problem, not me.

How much would it cost
to satisfy Carmine's family?

Oh, you think I could
put a price on that?

Yeah, I do.

Well... he had a family.

He's got kids that need
to go to college.

Whatever I make
on the next shipment,

you take half.

How about that?

You'd sacrifice all that money
for one of your guys?

Yeah.

Well, you're lucky that
I wasn't close

to this fuckin'
Carmine guy.

He was a fuckin' bastard.
I never liked him.

And that ain't enough money
from you.

What's the price?

I'll take
the entire shipment.

I'll take all of it. 100%.
I want everything.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

I-I'm lucky
you hated Carmine,

'cause I don't know
what the price would be

if you liked
this racist fuck.

Take it or leave it.

Okay. Yeah.
You got a deal.

Nobody touches
my man Chance,

and you give me
your personal guarantee.

Yeah.

Done.

He started yammering on about
Aunt Connie and Uncle Leo,

bringing back
all these fuckin' memories

when we were kids.

All right.

It sounds like
a lovely reunion.

He may be the perfect patsy,
but I couldn't do it.

So find someone else.

I don't know anyone else
in the Bonanno family.

What, am I supposed to fuckin'
pop someone out of the blue?

Yeah, I see.

I'll just call my dad
and tell him the truth.

I'll tell him we did it.

The fuck
is wrong with you?!

What? You scared?
Look at the fear in your eyes.

Are you gonna shit your pants?
You gonna make a wee wee?

- Fuck you!
- Fuck me?

You couldn't
if you tried.

I know you want to,
but you never will.

'Cause you're
a limp-dicked bastard.

Oh, you think I can't kill
that motherfucker?

I know you can't.

You can only kill
defenseless black men

or little old ladies.

When it comes
to one of your own,

you're just a scared little boy
with no fuckin' courage.

Are you gonna hit me?

Or are you scared I'll call
my daddy and tell on you?

Fuck you.
I'll show you.

I'll bring you
his fuckin' head.

You do that.

You do whatever it is that
makes you feel like a man.

I can't do this anymore.

Please, let me go.

I've gotta get out.

You're almost through
the worst part, Sandra.

You are going
to make it through.

I don't care anymore.

I just wanna die.

Just let me die.

Don't say that.

Think about that child there
in your belly.

It is more than your life
you have to fight for.

I don't want
this child.

I want a fix.

That's what I want.

Please help me.

What you got here?

I know you
got something here.

Listen to me.

That child is gonna
give you purpose.

I was just like you, Sandra,
and I made it through.

And I have a daughter

who I love more than anything
in this world.

What's her name?

Margaret.

What's she like?

Mm.

Silly...

...and playful,

intelligent,
curious.

I promise you, when you look
into that child's eyes,

you are going to be grateful
that you survived.

What if she
don't want me?

She's not gonna
want me.

You're her mother.

What child doesn't
want their mother?

Good night, Geoffrey.

Come on.

- Get in!
- Help!

I have to
give the senator credit

for his stamina.

I'm surprised he didn't have
a heart attack.

What's wrong?

This isn't right.

This man has a family.

No one will see these
other than him.

How do you know that?

Because when he sees these,

he will drop that filibuster.

Yes, this is beneath
our dignity,

but we must keep
the larger imperative in mind...

The passage
of the Civil Rights Act.

Remember when the newspapers
tarred and feathered you

for that trip to Paris
with your secretary?

Do I ever.

They used a scandal

to discredit
everything you've done.

What does that have to do
with anything?

I'm just saying,
maybe we let them play dirty,

and we keep
our hands clean.

You clearly don't understand
politics.

I think I do.

The Left believes
right-wing bigotry and racism

are tearing
the country apart.

The Right believes
left-wing agitation for change

is tearing
the country apart.

In any case,
I'm sure you'll be guided

by the Christian thing
to do.

Your men kidnapped Renee.

We had a deal.

Come in.

- I had nothing to do with this.
- Where is she?

Somewhere in Jersey.
I don't know.

You fucked up. You should've
controlled your men.

Fuck you.
I gave you a chance.

He's still here.
We seen them together.

I need her back here,
unharmed.

In exchange for your guy,

who didn't leave town
like you fucking promised.

What is this, man?
We had a deal.

We got to
figure this out.

There's nothing
to figure out.

My men need
more than a payoff.

Come on.

You want this partnership
to continue,

you gotta feed my men
some red meat.

There is nothing
I can do.

You want me to just
give up my man?

Yeah. What would you do
if one of my guys

went over and popped
one of yours?

What'd you do?
You'd fix it, right?

Those are the rules.

Yeah.

The rules.

Look, maybe it's crazy
that you and I thought

this thing between us
would work out.

I don't fuckin' know.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'll bring Chance
in exchange for the girl.

Okay.

The fair. 8:00.

Johnson, no weapons.

Of course not.

Of course not.

America has transformed
from an outpost

on the edge of wilderness

to one of the great
nations of the world.

The last time New York held
a World's Fair, back in 1939...

Coming.

...we tried to predict
the future.

Would it really be possible
to cross the country

in less than 24 hours...

Elise.

I'm so glad you came.

...or to go to outer space...

We need to talk.

- ...or cure dread diseases?
- Hey.

I'm so happy
you're here.

These were bold prophecies
in 1939,

but we achieved
all that and more.

Hey, cousin.

Hey.

Whattaya say we go back
to the Geechee?

Sure.

There were other prophecies

that were not
made at that fair.

What's wrong?

There's a cop
back there.

No one predicted
that half the world

would be devastated by war

or that millions of helpless
would be slaughtered.

Have a seat, friend.

Now, what's this important
piece of legislation

you want to show me?

Our leaders must not
succumb to obstruction...

Ah.

...and cynical tactics,

or our dark history
may repeat itself.

We must see an America
where politicians work together

for the will of the people
as a whole,

not as partisans
locked in battle.

We must open wide
the door to equality

to all those who have been
on the outside looking in.

You sure
you want to do this?

They get their hands on you,
they're gonna kill you.

Better me than her.

Our world's final direction
is in our hands.

Just keep your cool.

Follow my lead.

Hopefully, we'll be able
to get you both back

safe and sound, all right?

I have a plan.

I see an America
in which no man is handicapped

by the color of his skin
or the nature of his beliefs.

Elise, what was it
you wanted to say?

I just wanted to say
how wonderful it is

to be here
with both of you.

It may take all summer.

It may take sessions
around the clock,

but I promise you
here and now,

we are going to pass
that civil rights bill.

Well, I never should've
gone upstairs

at the goddamn Geechee.

You got me by the short
and curlies, Adam,

I'll give you that.

I'll move
for my colleagues

to stand down
on the filibuster.

Fuck you, Senator.

I am getting that bill passed
without stooping to blackmail.

Filibuster or not,

the righteous cause
shall always be victorious.

Unless we can achieve
the theme of this fair...

"Peace Through
Understanding"...

Our hopes of today
will go under

in the devastation of tomorrow.

The best laid plans for peace

cannot be legislated
by our leaders,

but must rise up
from the people themselves

so that we may create a world

where warring factions
put down their arms

and enemies embrace a new way
to resolve their differences.

That's close enough.

Send him over.

No.
Send the girl first.

Chance,
you shouldn't have come!

It's going to be okay, baby.
Stay calm.

It's going to be okay.

Send him over!

- Cha... Chance.
- Get over here.

Or I'll kill this bitch.

I'll fuckin' kill her.

All right,
take it easy.

- Chance.
- Time's up!

- Chance!
- No!

No, Chance, no!

No!

Renee!

Run, baby! Hey!

No!

No!

Johnson,
what the fuck?!

I predict peace is possible
in this generation.

Let us not sacrifice
our better angels

as we turn
to the rightful path.

Baby.

Let us choose love
over hate,

friend over foe,
equality over division.

One day soon,
things will change.

No! No!

I see a world that rejects
tribalism in favor of unity.

And if I'm right,
at the next World's Fair,

folks will see an America
as different from today

as we are different from 1939.

And we will look back at 1964
for the Negro,

and we will marvel to ourselves
at just how much has changed.
