00:01:23 College boy thought
00:01:27 -Hey, y'all, look-a here.
00:01:30 Suit on the outside
00:01:34 I didn't do anything.
00:01:36 You did something.
00:01:48 That's not me!
00:01:50 Not you?
00:01:51 Then who are you, Mr. Richard Kelly?
00:01:56 -I would like to propose a toast.
00:02:04 I sent in an application
00:02:08 here in town.
00:02:09 Honey, they've offered you
00:02:12 -You did what?
00:02:15 -No. No, no.
00:02:19 You can go a long ways with this.
00:02:25 -Pastor, of course.
00:02:29 ICC. International Computing Corporation.
00:02:36 -If you take this job...
00:02:41 No more living like we do.
00:02:46 That was a silly thing to do.
00:02:52 Hey, Richard,
00:02:55 -What's the drama?
00:02:58 -and his mother for no reason.
00:03:00 There's a protest at Avalon and Imperial.
00:03:01 -Come on.
00:03:12 -Good. I'm out of here.
00:03:14 -What?
00:03:17 Deferred adjudication.
00:03:19 Look, you gotta take that
00:03:20 You serve nine months
00:03:23 All right? You complete two semesters.
00:03:28 It's wiped off.
00:03:29 No, man, we talked about me
00:03:31 As in, at my new job, in my new office,
00:03:34 Yeah, 30 people are dead, 4000 arrested,
00:03:38 This is a darn good deal.
00:03:40 I told you, I was trying to stop the violence.
00:03:43 Yeah, that's what you'll say.
00:03:45 And I got 4000 other brothers
00:03:49 Take the deal, Richard.
00:03:51 You do not wanna be another black man
00:03:56 Take the deal, Richard.
00:04:20 You waiting for a tip?
00:04:22 I got one for you.
00:04:26 You can just leave that bag inside.
00:04:28 The owner will be back
00:04:30 -This is mine. This is mine.
00:04:36 Do you know where
00:04:38 -Yeah, you want administration.
00:04:47 Don't hurt yourself.
00:04:55 -Hi.
00:04:58 Everybody gone for lunch?
00:04:59 Yes, but they'll be back real soon.
00:05:01 So, if you could come back later...
00:05:07 -Richard Kelly.
00:05:10 Yes, well, Dr. Beckett had me pull your file.
00:05:12 He's the president, you know.
00:05:14 And I think he wants to see you.
00:05:18 -I much prefer the larger theater.
00:05:22 And then the convention center
00:05:25 Looks fantastic.
00:05:27 Dr. Beckett,
00:05:30 Yes, indeed.
00:05:31 A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kelly.
00:05:34 Pleasure to meet you, sir.
00:05:35 I was just showing Mr. Tremaine out.
00:05:38 Tremaine investment Group.
00:05:39 I read about you in Fortune magazine.
00:05:41 Very nice to meet you, sir. Richard Kelly.
00:05:43 Seminary on a hill. Long way from Watts.
00:05:46 So was UCLA, sir.
00:05:48 -Good day, Alan.
00:05:53 Busy man. Have a seat.
00:05:59 -I am so glad that you're here, Mr. Kelly.
00:06:03 It may interest you to know
00:06:10 -Really?
00:06:14 But that essay that you submitted
00:06:18 was brief, but passionate.
00:06:22 I was anxious to get here, probably.
00:06:25 The big picture is
00:06:31 And that's why you're here, Richard,
00:06:35 to be their champion.
00:06:37 You mean I'm the first black student
00:06:41 But the perfect choice.
00:06:43 An honors graduate, a leader on campus.
00:06:47 I didn't come here
00:06:51 You came here to be a pastor.
00:06:53 -Yes, that's right.
00:06:57 You think he ever expected
00:07:01 -Probably not.
00:07:05 What am I supposed to do?
00:07:06 Make A's. Graduate work here is tough.
00:07:11 -I can do that.
00:07:15 More importantly,
00:07:18 because we're a Christian seminary,
00:07:23 not by me forcing it down people's throats.
00:07:27 You help me with this, Richard,
00:07:34 -Okay.
00:07:38 I marched in Mississippi too,
00:07:43 I will be your silent advocate
00:07:48 Thank you.
00:07:52 That was my son.
00:07:54 A boy. Strong-minded.
00:08:00 Anyway, welcome.
00:08:28 Hey, I'm Fred. You must be Richard.
00:08:32 -How'd you know?
00:08:36 She sort of described you.
00:08:38 I said, "Shoot, I don't care,
00:08:48 Fred Leak. Dallas, Texas.
00:08:51 -Fred Leak?
00:08:55 Peter Leak, Take a Leak. Heard it all.
00:08:58 So you must be first semester too, huh?
00:09:04 You know, goes with camaraderie and all.
00:09:09 Hey, that girl didn't ask me
00:09:18 Maybe you ought to call her.
00:09:22 I'm just joking.
00:09:24 -Camaraderie and all.
00:09:28 In these turbuIent times,
00:09:33 Scripture says,
00:09:38 You may be wondering,
00:09:41 "Am I truly called to this ministry?"
00:09:45 I can't answer this.
00:09:47 But what I can do
00:09:51 to inspire your hearts and your minds.
00:09:55 To this end, I am pleased to announce
00:09:59 the beginning of construction
00:10:04 which will be the most
00:10:08 of any seminary in the nation.
00:10:11 And we have
00:10:15 Would you please stand, sir?
00:10:20 For the next several weeks, Mr. Tremaine
00:10:25 in an effort
00:10:28 He too understands that our seminary
00:10:33 for these trying times.
00:10:51 -Hey, there.
00:10:55 -Samuel J. Benton.
00:11:00 -I'm sort of in a hurry.
00:11:05 Get on.
00:11:07 -You lose something?
00:11:11 These folks are in such a rush
00:11:13 just tossed the old ones out.
00:11:16 They're probably obsolete.
00:11:18 Ms. Kim over at the office,
00:11:20 she lets me know ahead of time,
00:11:23 You should see my collection
00:11:31 You read this stuff?
00:11:35 You should come visit sometime.
00:11:39 Thanks. Maybe when I get my head
00:11:44 These fellows around here
00:11:53 You live around here?
00:12:04 Can you believe LBJ
00:12:08 "I will use every means at my disposal.
00:12:11 "The Negro man will win his right
00:12:18 -It's not a speech, it's a threat.
00:12:24 Watts wasn't just about looting
00:12:28 Watts happened
00:12:30 So they gave it back.
00:12:33 You know, just so I know,
00:12:34 why don't you use
00:12:37 You know, I think
00:12:47 What?
00:12:50 Hey, you know what,
00:12:53 You ain't the only one around here
00:12:58 Jesus sees a woman carrying jars of water
00:13:04 She asks, "Why would a Jew
00:13:08 "with a Samaritan
00:13:12 He then tells her of her life as a prostitute.
00:13:15 Then?
00:13:16 She recognizes he's a prophet
00:13:21 He wants her to stop sleeping around.
00:13:26 The disciples labeled her vulgarity
00:13:33 Professor, it was racism
00:13:36 maybe like today.
00:13:38 I mean, Jesus called the leaders
00:13:41 That's one interpretation.
00:13:42 He called us to be peacemakers,
00:13:46 The Ecclesiastes says, "There's a time
00:13:50 What about a time for learning?
00:13:52 Include today's discussion
00:13:55 Your essays are on my desk.
00:14:09 I didn't start anything.
00:14:14 Richard, we train young men here
00:14:20 -And that excludes punching people out.
00:14:27 You allowed schoolboy name-calling
00:14:32 Procedure requires disciplinary action.
00:14:35 Perhaps you come from somewhere
00:14:41 Listen, my mother raised two children,
00:14:46 Richard, Branch Rickey had the choice
00:14:53 all of whom
00:14:56 But what Mr. Rickey needed
00:14:58 was someone who had the combination
00:15:05 Now, was I wrong about you?
00:15:08 -No.
00:15:13 Let them learn your truth,
00:15:18 You expect a lot.
00:15:21 Any more trouble,
00:15:27 Now, let's see some results.
00:15:30 Racism, right here, where they're training
00:15:36 But for whom?
00:15:41 Sit down, holy man.
00:15:42 You here to learn something
00:15:44 Totally out of control.
00:15:46 Moneybags back there
00:15:48 If you want to break the back
00:15:53 Demand that this seminary
00:15:57 We march tomorrow at noon.
00:15:59 "Christian bigotry"?
00:16:02 Relax. That's just rhetoric.
00:16:03 -Tremaine was standing right next to me.
00:16:07 He'll see that we're on the right side
00:16:11 How do you know what side he's on?
00:16:13 Stansfield Tremaine is an enlightened man.
00:16:17 Kelly is a leader. Tremaine will see this.
00:16:26 Got him.
00:16:31 Hey, hey, hey.
00:16:33 All right, it's been half an hour.
00:16:36 You know, just what I thought.
00:16:39 They heard you all right.
00:16:43 -Why'd you come?
00:16:46 But what came out was, "All you bigots
00:16:51 No, that's just an excuse not to get done
00:16:54 I know, I know.
00:16:58 That's a big one in Texas.
00:17:02 Look, you might try getting to know
00:17:07 Hey, Tex, how many black neighborhoods
00:17:09 and gotten to know someone?
00:17:11 Yeah, yeah, I know.
00:17:13 Look, show me how.
00:17:19 Yeah, Rich, I think you got
00:17:22 The one who was nailing petitions
00:17:25 he was the reformer.
00:17:31 Hey, do y'all know
00:17:35 Yeah, Beckett brought her in.
00:17:37 She was like a missionary in Africa.
00:17:42 Bet she didn't wear those tight pants
00:17:48 You want recruitment goals,
00:17:50 30 Negro students the first year,
00:17:54 Your class teaches
00:17:56 is the best route to societal changes.
00:18:03 Why did you come to me?
00:18:05 I thought you could help
00:18:09 Where did you hear that?
00:18:12 You risked your life in Africa
00:18:15 -A "why" to all that.
00:18:21 What happened there?
00:18:24 If you think I'm gonna curve your grade
00:18:30 -you're wrong.
00:18:32 Then study. I don't tutor.
00:18:33 There are over 19 million black people
00:18:37 -I mean, shouldn't there be 50?
00:18:40 -If you're so miserable here, transfer.
00:18:47 Look, I'm not jumping through hoops
00:18:53 Odds are you're just gonna
00:19:00 Now, it's my teatime.
00:19:05 Yeah, Ma, the food's fine.

00:19:29 You can't afford that medicine and I'm here.
00:19:31 -I gotta go. I Iove you.
00:20:02 What do you want?
00:20:09 -Thank you, ma'am, for inviting me.

00:20:23 You get that shiner out there?
00:20:25 -Yeah, but I gave some back.
00:20:31 -So those are all rejects?

00:21:38 You're welcome here anytime, day or night.
00:21:44 You leave those people up there.
00:21:47 Now, Richard,
00:21:53 I mean, anybody that walked in my path,
00:21:58 -This is different. It's psychological.
00:22:02 Here you go.
00:22:06 I think that those people
00:22:10 but sometimes,
00:22:21 -I didn't tell you something.
00:22:24 They burned a cross in my room.
00:22:27 -My mother's.
00:22:44 Sorry, Fred.
00:22:55 Lord, please, help me make these grades
00:23:02 I promise I won't let go of the dream.
00:23:06 Hey, phone. It's an emergency.
00:23:16 -What's the news, Doctor?
00:23:19 -We can get her through this, but for now.
00:23:22 The medication she was on
00:23:25 She needs to be on a dialysis machine
00:23:29 So hook it up.
00:23:30 -We can cover initial expenses, but...
00:23:33 Could go 5000 or more.
00:23:36 Good God.
00:23:38 -If you weren't at that fool seminary...
00:23:44 We ain't got nothing.
00:23:47 We need to get this money
00:23:49 I've been telling you
00:23:51 Whatever you want, man.
00:23:52 You see how I'm riding around here,
00:23:56 Boy, you need to get
00:23:58 I'm tired of you
00:24:00 coming in here and hanging around
00:24:03 You know, 'cause these
00:24:05 they got us in here like slaves.
00:24:08 They got us working the ghetto
00:24:11 and they gonna keep it that way too,
00:24:14 You know that?
00:24:15 But most of these dumb brothers,
00:24:19 -Yeah, go on, Roscoe. Go on, man.
00:24:25 Look at that. Hey, Richie.
00:24:29 Good to see you.
00:24:30 Look, education's the answer.
00:24:33 -JoJo.
00:24:37 -What you in here lecturing about?
00:24:40 Come here. Come on, baby. Come here.
00:24:42 Hey, why don't you say hello to Lisa?
00:24:44 -Nice to meet you.
00:24:46 She went to college until she decided
00:24:47 having babies would be more fun,
00:24:49 Yeah, like you know everything.
00:24:51 Roscoe, I understand what you're saying,
00:24:55 Hey, the only future's in what you take.
00:24:58 -Stop it, Roscoe.
00:25:00 -All right now.
00:25:02 You can learn a trade.
00:25:04 Look, I always used to read and just write...
00:25:05 Really?
00:25:06 You can't read nothing, Negro. Shut up.
00:25:10 Take her for instance,
00:25:13 -Roscoe, stop it.
00:25:15 Cut it out! Roscoe!
00:25:20 Relax?
00:25:23 He gonna save all us sinners.
00:25:26 His mama been telling everybody how
00:25:32 All right now.
00:25:34 You gonna be just like the rest of these
00:25:37 taking people money, huh? You next?
00:25:40 Roscoe, you just afraid.
00:25:47 Afraid? Afraid of what?
00:25:55 Afraid to find out who Roscoe really is.
00:25:58 That's what I'm afraid of?
00:25:59 You know what, brother,
00:26:02 -That's what you're afraid of!
00:26:03 No, don't tell me to freaking calm down
00:26:06 -Man, I'll let this .38 pop up in here, okay?
00:26:12 Man, Roscoe, get on your nerves, can't he?
00:26:17 Come on. Let's get you out of here now.
00:26:21 Come on, get out of here
00:26:24 -See you later.
00:26:35 Please, Mr. Leak, after six weeks,
00:26:38 Yes, sir.
00:26:40 I still don't understand
00:26:43 Really? In studying
00:26:47 the original Greek, in the New Testament,
00:26:50 might be an important place to start,
00:26:54 How does it help people?
00:26:55 I mean, it seems more esoteric
00:26:58 So you're not interested in the theology
00:27:02 -The "why" of it all?
00:27:06 Preachers can pontificate all they want,
00:27:10 but unless people are compelled
00:27:15 they will have no following.
00:27:17 No results. That is real world.
00:27:25 Mr. Kelly...
00:27:32 I'm an A student.
00:27:35 You know,
00:28:02 Sorry, Mom.
00:28:07 Hey, Roscoe, you better put that thing away
00:28:12 -Mama, look, my stomach's gonna pop.
00:28:16 Now, Roscoe, how come
00:28:18 You know we got enough.
00:28:19 I will, if I see her.
00:28:27 We just finished.
00:28:32 Did you train that boy
00:28:33 Hello, Marvin, you just missed a nice meal.
00:28:36 Maybe I could warm some up for you.
00:28:39 -Some other time.
00:28:43 -And I ain't?
00:28:47 Here. Here, here. Just take it.
00:28:53 That's our money!
00:28:56 Don't you hit him like that!
00:28:59 This is still my house, my rules, my family!
00:29:05 My roof!
00:29:08 You ain't man enough.
00:29:14 Your daddy loves you.
00:29:18 -I don't have a father.
00:29:24 He is still your father, isn't he?
00:29:30 -Richard Kelly...
00:29:37 -Who wants tapioca?
00:29:41 -Me too.
00:29:48 You're okay.
00:29:57 Hey, hey, I got two tickets
00:30:03 Don Meredith and "Bullet" Bob Hayes.
00:30:06 -Don't think so. Can't.
00:30:09 -Good date. Be fun.
00:30:13 I mean, I can find you a pretty girl.
00:30:16 Like who? Your sister? What about her?
00:30:22 -She's cute.
00:30:27 Yeah, just what I thought.
00:30:28 -"No colored boy is gonna date my sister."
00:30:32 She's only 15. Man.
00:30:34 -Look, I just saw her picture and thought...
00:30:38 That everyone's a racist?
00:30:46 Forget it, all right?
00:30:48 If things are so screwed up,
00:30:49 why don't you get out there
00:30:51 -Like what?
00:30:54 With who?
00:30:57 Then get some.
00:30:59 It's better than all that rioting and stuff.
00:31:03 Just forget it, man.
00:31:14 Hey there, Samuel.
00:31:16 That kitchen work should be fine.
00:31:18 Hey there, Georgia boy.
00:31:20 -I told you I knew people.
00:31:22 Is that right?
00:31:24 -See Mom this weekend.
00:31:29 Here. Help me find the break
00:31:39 Janitor, gardener... You the trashman, too?
00:31:44 The Lord has entrusted me
00:31:46 and I'm not gonna let anybody
00:31:54 So, tell me,
00:32:00 you showed us pictures of the
00:32:03 -Yeah, yeah, Reverend Duncan.
00:32:05 Then, you showed me the pictures of
00:32:11 -Where's he?
00:32:15 -Why do you keep asking?
00:32:19 No reason.
00:32:22 So tell me, what does a young man
00:32:26 -I don't know if you want to hear mine.
00:32:37 Well...
00:32:40 It's...
00:32:42 I'm laying down in total darkness.
00:32:47 And I stick it in my chest
00:32:51 And my whole front opens up.
00:32:53 I lean forward to look inside
00:32:58 It's just vague and empty.
00:33:02 Then the dream ends.
00:33:07 Not exactly what I had in mind. But it'll do.
00:33:11 I wonder what it means.
00:33:18 It sounds like you want to see
00:33:22 and you want to know real bad.
00:33:28 You know, there's a quote
00:33:33 "Pain is like a holy angel
00:33:39 "which otherwise remain forever hidden."
00:33:44 -So all this is a treasure?
00:33:47 What do you say?
00:33:48 I don't know. Pain is pain.
00:33:52 It ain't treasure yet.
00:33:56 For how long?
00:34:01 Till you find the break in this line. Come on.
00:34:05 Don't put your foot in the water, boy.
00:34:08 Yeah, right there. Come on.
00:34:33 Hey, Richard, what's happening, man?
00:34:37 Hey, Richard, come on now.
00:34:42 What you want, Roscoe?
00:34:44 Look, I heard about Mama Kelly.
00:34:49 Look, man, I just came by here
00:34:55 You know that business in the bar,
00:34:57 I know you ain't gonna freak out
00:35:00 We're square. Now move on.
00:35:03 Look, Richard, look,
00:35:06 And I can help you out.
00:35:09 Look, that's five G's right there, okay?
00:35:12 I just gotta make a house call in this Cad
00:35:14 And I want some company.
00:35:20 All right?
00:35:23 I go with you, wait around,
00:35:28 She's my mama, too.
00:35:31 Come on. Get in, man.
00:36:18 You hold tight, Jack, all right?
00:36:24 JoJo, what your old butt doing now?
00:36:28 I'm not selling no poison
00:36:30 We got enough police out here
00:36:33 Brother, you gotta get
00:36:36 Get the money. You ain't nothing
00:36:39 You might as well get some
00:36:41 Come on, Roscoe. If your daddy
00:36:44 He dead and you next, old man!
00:36:46 You about the stupidest perm-head,
00:36:48 Look, we gonna get right to it.
00:36:51 You must have your head
00:36:54 -'Cause you don't know crap, Roscoe.
00:36:56 You really don't know nothing.
00:36:59 You ain't nothing but a punk.
00:37:01 You ain't nothing but a stupid bartender.
00:37:05 -I got you right here, boy!
00:37:09 Oh, man.
00:37:12 Are you okay?
00:37:18 Yes, yes, a man's been shot.
00:37:22 Get him out of here
00:37:23 You want laying out?
00:37:25 I'll shoot him again.
00:37:26 I'm gonna kill this old perm-head!
00:37:27 That's what you is, a dead man!
00:37:34 Come on now.
00:37:35 -Come on, get off of me now!
00:37:38 I'm fine. I'll be all right.
00:37:40 Hey, man, you take this cash
00:37:44 All right.
00:38:06 Hello.
00:38:14 Am I addressing the living?
00:38:28 Boy, you better be glad
00:38:30 She'd be whipping you all up till next week.
00:38:32 How many times do I have to tell you?
00:38:35 -I wouldn't feel it.
00:38:37 Come on, boy. Get up.
00:38:40 Come on.
00:38:43 Hurry up.
00:38:49 Hey, look.
00:38:54 Take it from me,
00:38:56 If you're so smart, you know a guy
00:39:04 -Jesus knows, you know.
00:39:06 Look, Jesus has experienced
00:39:10 -And more so.
00:39:13 Because he wants a relationship with you.
00:39:15 Mean-ass way to get one, don't you think?
00:39:16 Yeah, I have a feeling
00:39:19 Hey!
00:39:21 What did I do to deserve this? Nothing.
00:39:24 When all those other fools were out there
00:39:27 I was home studying.
00:39:29 When they were out selling drugs,
00:39:32 I fought for every
00:39:35 And that ain't good enough for your Jesus?
00:39:37 He wants a relationship?
00:39:42 I'm trapped here, Samuel.
00:39:43 I'm trapped here because of some
00:39:47 a fucked up cross!
00:40:00 Well...
00:40:03 You may be right.
00:40:05 I'm gonna go downstairs
00:40:10 And you can come.
00:40:13 But if you don't,
00:40:17 that's okay.
00:40:44 Hey, you know what?
00:40:46 You know that dream you keep having?
00:40:53 That's your spirit.
00:40:55 It's calling you to go into the darkness.
00:40:59 And out the other side, boy.
00:41:02 But you got to surrender
00:41:05 and have faith that it will take you
00:41:14 Surrender.
00:41:24 Come on. Yeah.
00:41:28 Okay.
00:41:31 Yeah.
00:41:49 Some burn.
00:41:52 Like a cigarette.
00:41:53 Just some grease splatter.
00:41:57 How is Cynthia? Any better?
00:42:02 I never know what's waiting for me there.
00:42:08 Richard, come on in.
00:42:12 Thanks for stopping by.
00:42:15 Professor Allison.
00:42:17 Hello.
00:42:18 Sit down.
00:42:21 I've been working on this since...
00:42:25 I don't know, a long time.
00:42:27 Richard, one day, you may be speaking
00:42:34 Three sponsors quit.
00:42:37 Then Stansfield Tremaine appeared.
00:42:41 Like from heaven.
00:42:45 Kate,
00:42:49 I want you to help Richard
00:42:53 My writing takes up most of my spare time.
00:42:59 Imagine this woman
00:43:03 The people skills
00:43:08 It was anything but a success.
00:43:12 You see, that's what we have here,
00:43:16 Richard, you need a little help
00:43:29 So now you got the calling. I've seen it.
00:43:35 But the Holy Spirit got to inhabit
00:43:40 It's got to go way deep down inside you.
00:43:45 Thank you. That's very kind, but I just...
00:43:48 Don't be flattered.
00:43:50 When God's eye is on you, so is Satan's.
00:43:53 Now you better listen to her, man.
00:43:56 You pray on that.
00:43:59 Hey!
00:44:01 Look what I found.
00:44:03 You just found that laying around,
00:44:09 Listen to this.
00:44:18 You remember that, don't you?
00:44:20 Come on, boy. You know this.
00:44:23 -Go on, try it out.
00:44:24 Now, you can't keep up with me.
00:44:25 You better watch me move.
00:44:31 Yeah. All right.
00:44:35 Watch us stepping.
00:44:37 -Yeah!
00:44:39 All right.
00:44:41 -Okay.
00:44:43 Go, Mama, go!
00:44:45 James is right.
00:44:49 Obscure?
00:44:50 Isn't faith for anyone
00:44:53 The ethnic cultures do seem
00:44:56 They have less education,
00:44:59 Moses had seen
00:45:02 So he had faith they'd be saved.
00:45:04 Faith based on miracles is shallow.
00:45:07 These stories are just allegories
00:45:10 they are not to be taken in literal fact.
00:45:13 So you're saying
00:45:17 President Johnson, in his war on poverty,
00:45:21 to educate inner-city people so no one
00:45:27 "The word of the Lord
00:45:30 "but shall accomplish that
00:45:34 Is that truth or allegory, Professor?
00:45:38 Truth is relative.
00:45:41 Have you ever gotten a word from God,
00:46:04 Have you?
00:46:05 Doesn't mean it won't happen.
00:46:11 So, Mom got the money and medicine, huh?
00:46:13 Yeah. She's aIready feeIing better.
00:46:15 Good, that's real good.
00:46:17 But there is something.
00:46:20 JoJo's dead.
00:46:22 -What?
00:46:24 Oh, God.
00:46:27 What a good guy he was, man.
00:46:29 Yeah, he was.
00:46:32 Listen, let me know if you hear
00:46:34 AII right.
00:46:38 Professor Allison, I need to speak to you.
00:46:41 -Make an appointment.
00:46:48 Scholarly duties.
00:46:50 Where is this expertise
00:46:53 I see, I'm just supposed to drop everything
00:46:55 and rush right out
00:46:59 Why is a woman who lived in Africa
00:47:11 -Samuel.
00:47:13 It's late.
00:47:15 Yeah, I couldn't sleep.
00:47:18 Took a walk, saw a light in the window...
00:47:22 And you kind of found your way back
00:47:28 You want to hear the story,
00:47:34 Thanksgiving, Mom had this great meal
00:47:39 There's a knock at the door.
00:47:43 The bum wanting money.
00:47:45 Got one hand stuck out,
00:47:50 but before he could beat me,
00:47:54 And I got him good.
00:47:57 Real good.
00:48:00 He didn't say anything. He just got up and...
00:48:03 The look in his eyes,
00:48:06 Mama, she just picked up the flowers.
00:48:09 Like I was supposed to keep getting beat
00:48:14 He was a drunk bum.
00:48:15 But don't you think it would've been better
00:48:18 when you and Roscoe wasn't there?
00:48:21 -What are you saying? He swung at me.
00:48:25 You know,
00:48:28 I think that you felt
00:48:32 What do you think he wanted?
00:48:34 He wasn't drunk.
00:48:38 Did he ask you for any money?
00:48:42 Let's get this picture straight.
00:48:47 He's at the doorway, it's Thanksgiving.
00:48:51 Got flowers in his hand.
00:48:55 And he's sober.
00:48:58 What do you think he wanted?
00:49:03 Richard, we're talking about
00:49:10 More than anything, he hated himself.
00:49:15 Then you beat him down.
00:49:17 Darn straight,
00:49:18 You beat him down that last day.
00:49:27 Richard, if people can't change,
00:50:53 It's very nice.
00:50:56 I didn't hear you come in.
00:51:00 Why can't you transfer
00:51:08 "Trust in the Lord, your God,
00:51:11 "and lean not upon
00:51:14 Hebrew, too? You've been studying.
00:51:17 But you're not God.
00:51:21 And you're still waiting
00:51:27 I'm here on probation, two semesters.
00:51:31 Assault and battery of a cop.
00:51:39 I believe in reform.
00:51:44 We'll see.
00:51:46 "Wesbury TheoIogicaI CoIIege By-Laws. "
00:51:49 And?
00:51:50 If you get 70%% of the students
00:51:54 it automatically goes in front of the board.
00:51:58 For obvious reasons,
00:52:02 That's a lot of signatures.
00:52:05 Meeting's December 1st.
00:52:06 That's 10 days away.
00:52:09 File your amendment then,
00:52:12 Another year?
00:52:20 Moses, it's time for you to part the Red Sea.
00:52:29 That's right. We sign this petition
00:52:32 No marches, no protests, none of that.
00:52:35 And Wesbury becomes
00:52:38 What could be easier?
00:52:39 -Good idea.
00:52:42 You giving us the answer
00:52:44 Why don't you just let it happen naturally?
00:52:46 Yeah, why do we have
00:52:50 Just so you get immediate results?
00:52:51 Okay, what has happened naturally
00:52:54 Almost.
00:52:55 You're a first-year student
00:52:58 Who put you in charge?
00:52:59 Actually, it's a job for anyone who wants it.
00:53:05 -Hey!
00:53:07 -Hey, hey, hey!
00:53:09 Back off! Back off!
00:53:11 Get off! Get off!
00:53:21 You know, Alan,
00:53:28 -So, is your sister coming for the weekend?
00:53:35 That's too bad. Patsy's a lot of fun.
00:53:39 Did she say why?
00:53:42 I told her not to.
00:54:02 Hello. Hi, Brian.
00:54:04 No, no. We've finished.
00:54:10 He what?
00:54:13 Just like that?
00:54:19 Wow.
00:54:22 Yeah. Thanks, Brian. Good night.
00:54:34 Tremaine pulled all the funding
00:54:38 Something about re-evaluation.
00:54:43 Something's tragically wrong.
00:54:59 Listen, I'd like you to shut down
00:55:06 Why? It was all your idea.
00:55:08 I know, but...
00:55:11 What's the problem?
00:55:13 Richard's speeches, the petition,
00:55:18 Riots and bulldozers.
00:55:24 I doubt it.
00:55:25 I'd rather not take the chance.
00:55:29 You did not so long ago.
00:55:32 It's timing.
00:55:35 Just speak with him,
00:55:39 That's your job. I'm just a teacher.
00:55:41 Look, we both lost loved ones.
00:55:46 What's lost, is lost. You can't replace it.
00:56:01 "The first will be the last,
00:56:08 You're going to be a heck
00:56:11 -Preacher?
00:56:14 What you're studying for.
00:56:18 Look, McBride won't accept
00:56:23 So you can use my typewriter
00:56:26 -Yeah, sorry about that.
00:56:30 There's a coin-op typewriter in the library.
00:56:35 Here. It was for my sister's birthday.
00:56:40 At least this way
00:56:45 -The semester's not over yet.
00:56:54 No, thank you, Bessie. I've had enough.
00:56:57 So, you're saying
00:57:00 He's studying all the time.
00:57:03 I think he's taken on too much.
00:57:05 Schoolwork, the kitchen,
00:57:10 Why are you here, Dr. Beckett?
00:57:12 You know, Samuel, he looks up to you
00:57:18 This petition, I'm afraid he'll fail
00:57:24 -He's his own man, sir.
00:57:33 Samuel, you've done wonders
00:57:36 And I was hoping that
00:57:43 Thank you both. Good night.
00:57:46 Good night.
00:58:00 So, get these signatures in a week
00:58:04 Pretty good, huh?
00:58:09 Let me tell you a story
00:58:12 about Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
00:58:16 He was a minister in Nazi Germany
00:58:20 His friends,
00:58:23 Saved his life.
00:58:26 Two weeks later,
00:58:29 -He escaped and came back?
00:58:32 two weeks before
00:58:35 -But he followed his conscience.
00:58:37 But if he had just shut up for a while,
00:58:43 What's your point?
00:58:44 Maybe you should be
00:58:49 You're the one that's been telling me
00:58:51 No, no.
00:58:52 See, maybe if you just put your nose
00:58:56 What do you mean?
00:58:57 No, no, no, I think you should just think
00:59:01 -That's all.
00:59:03 No, look, Richard, just not play the martyr.
00:59:05 I'm not playing anything.
00:59:07 Richard, please.
00:59:14 Throughout the South, there are good
00:59:19 police brutality...
00:59:21 How would you deal with it?
00:59:23 Can you do that later?
00:59:27 Pardon me.
00:59:29 Racism is in the North, too.
00:59:34 Even so,
00:59:36 how would you instruct your congregation
00:59:41 Carrying out God's will
00:59:44 Indeed it has.
00:59:46 "He who serves
00:59:49 But will people follow a servant?
00:59:52 "Go forth and teach all nations."
00:59:54 So, what is it? Proclaim or serve?
00:59:57 What indeed?
00:59:58 Thursday, you and Mr. Kelly will present
01:00:03 "Serving versus Evangelizing."
01:00:07 Kelly, you have a phone call.
01:00:09 Mom wants to thank your schooI
01:00:11 No, no, not yet. I'll explain later.
01:00:14 Listen,
01:00:17 Roscoe's dead.
01:00:19 What?
01:00:20 I'm sorry,
01:00:24 PoIice found him in his car, dead.
01:00:25 I think he might've done JoJo.
01:00:28 Weren't you and him visiting Mom
01:00:31 No. I don't remember.
01:00:34 This is terrible.
01:00:36 But Mom's good, right?
01:00:38 Yeah, good.
01:00:49 Do you know who Richard Kelly really is?
01:01:08 Sorry about our argument.
01:01:10 I'm not too proud of that either.
01:01:12 You're the best friend I've got.
01:01:17 Thanks.
01:01:20 -This is the good stuff, man.
01:01:23 Thank you.
01:01:25 Thank you.
01:01:30 I need to talk to you.
01:01:34 So, I'm on probation.
01:01:38 I'm here on probation.
01:01:41 Not to be a pastor.
01:01:44 Beckett saw me as his
01:01:49 So, I just played along
01:01:54 And I just got in deeper and deeper.
01:01:59 I'm a fraud.
01:02:02 Another fake working a scheme.
01:02:06 So, which one is it,
01:02:09 I march around here demanding justice.
01:02:11 I'm as much a hypocrite as all these people.
01:02:15 Two friends are dead.
01:02:17 I had an excuse not to talk
01:02:21 but now I'm quitting.
01:02:24 No, you don't want the judge
01:02:28 And, hey, what's a guy like you
01:02:31 Look at me.
01:02:33 What do you see?
01:02:35 God's basement apostle.
01:02:41 A little bit more than 10 years ago,
01:02:49 They're just gonna let that little
01:02:53 My whole life was full of fighting
01:03:00 I woke up in this dumpster, all in this trash,
01:03:05 and I heard this voice.
01:03:08 But it wasn't mine, but it wasn't a stranger.
01:03:11 It said,
01:03:14 "Samuel, rise up out of the trash
01:03:20 So, I did.
01:03:23 Way before you step before him,
01:03:26 people are going to be happy
01:03:29 Rise up and do what?
01:03:34 Quit this place? Or keep making speeches
01:03:38 All of them lead to another
01:03:41 No, look, look.
01:03:44 So, now you got these three choices, right?
01:03:47 Behind one of them is God,
01:03:53 to find out which one it is.
01:03:56 And when you make that choice,
01:03:59 and you never, ever look back.
01:06:21 Sorry for the interruption.
01:06:24 It's okay.
01:06:30 Richard, I wanted you to know how much
01:06:38 And I do believe you deserve
01:06:47 "I am the true vine
01:06:51 "He cuts away from me every branch
01:06:59 Exactly.
01:07:01 And we need to do some
01:07:05 That amendment for starters.
01:07:07 You challenged me to change this place.
01:07:08 I know I did, but not with violence, Richard.
01:07:13 The staff is demanding action,
01:07:20 I've tried my best,
01:07:25 What happened to my best ally?
01:07:27 My $10 million expansion
01:07:33 -So, that's what this is about.
01:07:36 Look, I'm the one being crucified here.
01:07:39 And it was supposed to be me?
01:07:40 It wasn't supposed to be anyone.
01:07:44 This was to be a peaceful transition.
01:07:48 Look, you're young.
01:07:51 There's a real world out there to deal with.
01:07:53 And the real world wants its $10 million.
01:07:58 Dr. Beckett, I'm submitting that amendment.
01:08:05 You saw the photograph of my son.
01:08:09 Didn't you know that the point man
01:08:15 But not in the back.
01:08:18 I know about your probation.
01:08:20 Tremaine's group did all the research
01:08:23 -And?
01:08:26 And you lied to me.
01:08:29 You told me you came
01:08:32 a man of conviction.
01:08:33 I didn't know that then...
01:08:35 You didn't know that I was covering
01:08:38 overruling professors
01:08:42 You are right, I lied.
01:08:44 Yes, and you made speeches condemning
01:08:48 This isn't about me.
01:08:54 We are, Richard,
01:09:03 I will call that judge.
01:09:06 If your probation is in violation,
01:09:14 Richard,
01:09:18 drop this amendment.
01:09:21 And I will see that
01:09:26 Free to pursue your dreams.
01:09:31 How could the president of a seminary
01:09:34 Leaders have to make tough decisions,
01:09:42 You enter that board meeting,
01:09:46 Then it's out of my hands.
01:09:51 I am the gardener, Richard.
01:09:55 I do the pruning.
01:10:15 I thought I was safe up here.
01:10:17 Don't you have something to tell me?
01:10:20 You made an A on your exam.
01:10:22 Don't play with me.
01:10:25 Who's playing?
01:10:36 Beckett says Tremaine is pulling
01:10:40 Drop it or else...
01:10:43 I didn't set you up.
01:10:48 I only got half the signatures required.
01:10:51 If I am getting busted,
01:10:57 Why don't you just lay down for him
01:11:07 I was praying
01:11:17 The last time I heard God's voice,
01:11:23 I was staring at three coffins.
01:11:30 I'm sorry.
01:11:31 For the coffins,
01:11:37 or what he said?
01:11:46 I didn't mean to interrupt.
01:11:50 Thanks.
01:12:00 What did the voice say?
01:12:10 "I love them, too."
01:12:49 "Come to the throne of grace
01:12:53 "with your pain,
01:12:55 "with your emptiness and receive my hope.
01:13:01 "Come with boldness and expectation.
01:13:07 "Look now,
01:13:10 "for I am about to do a new thing.
01:13:16 "Do you not perceive it?"
01:14:12 Now it doesn't sound like a place
01:14:16 She wants Roscoe's drug money.
01:14:22 I talked to your brother.
01:14:24 He told me that place was a slaughterhouse.
01:14:28 I'll be smart about it.
01:14:30 What?
01:14:31 Punks with guns, they don't know smart.
01:14:49 Hey, man, Lisa Kreemack says
01:14:51 Where she Iive?
01:14:52 Stay cIear of that.
01:14:56 What the heck's wrong with you?
01:14:57 I need to use your car.
01:14:59 What are you, high?
01:15:01 Look, it's an emergency.
01:15:05 Here's five. I'll pay you the rest later.
01:15:08 Look, nobody cares about you
01:15:11 Get out of here.
01:15:13 -Wait, Nick...
01:15:14 Come on, bring it on, tough guy.
01:15:19 What the heck's wrong with you, man?
01:15:21 Look, it's like this.
01:15:25 I'm on probation,
01:15:28 and this girl is gonna finger me
01:15:32 Wow, so now the truth comes out.
01:15:35 What is it about you brothers, huh?
01:15:40 Right. Us darkies just love
01:15:47 What you do?
01:15:48 They said I assaulted a cop, but I didn't.
01:15:50 You? What, did you throw a protest sign
01:15:57 I knocked one out with a blackjack.
01:16:00 You?
01:16:01 Yeah, me.
01:16:08 Get in, Cassius.
01:16:14 Okay, pull up right here. Yeah, it's here.
01:16:16 -Right here?
01:16:25 This is it?
01:16:26 It's about as close to the hood
01:16:29 What do you want me to do?
01:16:31 No, no, you keep these wheels rolling
01:16:37 I'll meet you here in about 10.
01:16:39 Good luck, Cassius.
01:16:50 Lisa Kreemack?
01:16:52 Got the money?
01:16:54 You gonna make me stand out here?
01:17:02 College boy, you better give me that $5,000
01:17:06 Listen, I came here to tell you
01:17:08 You liar! I seen you come out.
01:17:10 -No, no.
01:17:12 He was the only man
01:17:15 and a sorry coon like you got him killed.
01:17:17 -Listen, that's not...
01:17:19 Where's Roscoe's money, you little punk?
01:17:21 He was my friend, too.
01:17:23 Yeah, well, some big favor.
01:17:25 Listen, I don't have a dime...
01:17:28 That's for you.
01:17:30 Liar! You better come up with that cash
01:17:32 'cause Roscoe's people's
01:17:34 Yeah, Negro,
01:17:36 I told you, I didn't have anything...
01:17:42 Don't you remember me from JoJo's,
01:18:04 Who's this fool?
01:18:08 -Hey, you two, move over there.
01:18:10 Move. Come on!
01:18:16 I'm sorry.
01:18:21 I forgive you.
01:18:23 Heavenly Father,
01:18:28 out of the spirit of oppression.
01:18:33 Free this man. Free him from every curse.
01:18:39 Free him from the curse
01:18:46 Please, Holy Spirit, free my brother.
01:18:50 Free him.
01:19:09 Hey, Georgia boy.
01:19:15 You ain't Roscoe's people.
01:19:17 Girl, you best shut up.
01:19:20 Let's go. Come on.
01:19:24 William.
01:19:34 Thank you, thank you all for coming.
01:19:39 Nick, where's your opponent?
01:19:42 I don't know, Professor.
01:20:00 Mr. Kelly. Mr. Kelly,
01:20:05 Nick got his revenge.
01:20:07 And then some.
01:20:10 Hey, that wasn't me.
01:20:14 He just tried to make peace with somebody
01:20:21 Richard Kelly's term paper
01:20:25 "Are we any wiser than
01:20:30 Hey, buddy, you okay?
01:20:37 Bill, don't look at James.
01:20:41 You decide.
01:20:46 -All right, sit down.
01:20:47 Sit down.
01:20:56 Yeah, I know. This again?
01:21:01 I'm hoping you reconsider.
01:21:04 There's only two days
01:21:07 And maybe you were against me
01:21:13 but you're good people and our hearts
01:21:19 We're all called to act on our faith,
01:21:24 On what we believe over what we know.
01:21:29 And seeing these friends
01:21:35 I truly believe that.
01:21:39 Now more than ever.
01:21:47 All right, all right.
01:21:50 Gentlemen, all right, you made your point,
01:21:53 All right, anyone from my class who
01:21:58 Remember your careers.
01:22:07 Where you going?
01:22:10 I'm leaving.
01:22:28 I wiII caII that judge.
01:22:32 You couId go to prison.
01:22:42 Janitor, gardener... You the trashman, too?
01:22:46 The Lord has entrusted me
01:22:48 and I'm not gonna Iet anybody
01:23:38 As always, we are honored to have
01:23:40 for our annual meeting,
01:23:51 What you looking at?
01:23:55 Kate said to get there at 1 1 :00 so Beckett
01:23:59 Police, Samuel?
01:24:02 I know.
01:24:04 Then do something.
01:24:05 I told you both
01:24:09 You also said I had a calling on my life.
01:24:12 But not like this.
01:24:17 Bessie, I know you're trying
01:24:20 but I have to do this.
01:24:26 Let him go.
01:24:34 Thank you, Mr. Perkins.
01:24:36 That would be all for new business.
01:24:38 Yeah.
01:24:40 So, this new media center, is that for us to
01:24:50 Fired and evicted.
01:25:01 We'll find another place, another job.
01:25:03 What kind of talk is that?
01:25:05 I'm not sorry for anything that I have said
01:25:11 I want my life to be more than
01:25:17 Yeah, and I don't want my life
01:25:24 I want to leave something behind.
01:25:26 I want something I've said
01:25:32 I want to leave some footprints
01:25:45 Samuel,
01:25:48 to me, you are the garden.
01:26:00 That'll end our annual board meeting.
01:26:03 If Dr. Margetson could lead us in prayer?
01:26:07 One last piece of business, sir.
01:26:15 I would like to formally submit
01:26:19 complete with signatures
01:26:30 This letter reinstates Samuel for life,
01:26:36 You drop all of this and it's yours.
01:26:44 For life?
01:26:45 For life.
01:27:18 I've been entrusted with something.
01:27:26 So unnecessary.
01:27:50 Way to go, hoss.
01:27:52 And the seas parted.
01:27:55 Now, we just have to get to the other side.
01:27:59 I don't know if I did the right thing.
01:28:01 I do.
01:28:04 What about you?
01:28:07 Police!
01:28:08 Can't they wait?
01:28:10 Come in.
01:28:13 What?
01:28:16 What's going on?
01:28:19 Sorry.
01:28:21 Look, I got Kimmy to show me where
01:28:29 You mean you just
01:28:31 Yeah, pretty much.
01:28:39 The letter Beckett tried to bribe me with.
01:28:47 Now what?
01:28:54 Alan, you're going to have
01:28:59 Brian, I have loyally served this
01:29:05 A bribe letter?
01:29:08 I wasn't going through with it.
01:29:10 You need to think about
01:29:13 Stansfield, you challenged me
01:29:19 Yeah, I've had sleepless nights
01:29:21 But in the end, it was Richard Kelly
01:29:26 He was always arguing on behalf of faith,
01:29:31 regard as some irrelevant,
01:29:35 That's the leadership I care about.
01:29:38 We can fix that.
01:29:39 Sorry, not my kind of investment.
01:29:45 Mr. Kelly, I called that judge,
01:29:50 I'd like you to come work for me. My card.
01:29:53 Thank you, sir.
01:29:54 Give me a call. Good day.
01:30:04 Thank you, gentlemen.
01:30:10 Dr. Beckett, you were half right.
01:30:15 I am not the one that prunes the garden,
01:30:18 but neither are you.
01:30:19 Then who is?
01:30:24 He's the one, sir,
01:30:36 Yeah.
01:30:38 Mom said it was the first time she was
01:30:43 And old Tremaine giving you
01:30:49 -There you go.
01:30:51 -You know what Kate said?
01:30:54 There's gonna be 20 or more
01:30:57 and some professors.
01:30:58 Then we'll have to move.
01:31:03 -Go ahead.
01:31:05 But I am staying.
01:31:07 -Another semester?
01:31:11 Well, what about that offer?
01:31:16 Samuel,
01:31:19 -when I took my own walk in that garden...
01:31:21 ...I saw your footprints
01:31:25 And all those dreams I was holding on to,
01:31:32 and I saw that treasure.
01:31:34 All right, Georgia boy.
