:53:01
Iris, baby,
who hit you?

:53:03
You, you son of a bitch!
:53:04
But I got your black ass now! Cool it!
:53:06
Don't tell me to cool it!
:53:09
You left me for the cops.
:53:10
Nigger, I oughta kill you!
:53:13
You already did, baby.
:53:14
You have nailed his ass
onto the wall,

:53:15
right here
in black and white.

:53:17
That's right.
I told them everything.

:53:20
I spilled my guts out.
:53:22
All about your phony
"back to africa" swindle.

:53:25
Names, dates, places.
:53:26
The way you were gonna
hit all the big cities

:53:28
and get the money and split.
:53:29
Iris
- how you set up the switch at the rally,

:53:31
with the cat supposed to be
from the d.a.'s office.

:53:34
The way they were gonna pretend
to take you and the money downtown.

:53:37
But something happened,
and john hill got wasted.

:53:39
And mabel hill found out and
was going straight to the cops.

:53:42
And you found her and tried
to kill her. That's a lie.

:53:45
I was there!
I saw you, you bastard!

:53:48
You took that ship, that big,
old black ship black beauty,

:53:50
and you smashed it down
on that poor girl's head.

:53:53
I never touched that boat!
:53:55
Fractured skull.
:53:56
Negative.
:53:57
Assault with
intent to kill.

:53:59
If she dies, it's murder one.
:54:02
Which means
we burn you.

:54:05
Burn me?
:54:07
Burn me with what?
:54:10
Lieutenant!
:54:12
I hope that some
of you damn fools

:54:14
had the good sense to examine
that model boat for fingerprints.

:54:16
Of course we did, reverend.
:54:17
Tell these two dumb-ass
uncle tom nigger cops of yours

:54:20
whose prints you found on that boat
- that broad's or mine?

:54:23
He did it! He took those
people's money. He did it!

:54:26
You shut your mouth!
I'll get you, o'malley!

:54:29
I swear on my mother's grave
I'll get you for this!

:54:32
I swear I will!
I'll get you!

:54:46
One more word,
soul brother.

:54:49
You had it made.
:54:50
Black folks would have
followed you anywhere.

:54:53
You could have been
another marcus garvey

:54:55
or even another
malcolm x.

:54:56
But instead,
you ain't nothin'

:54:58
but a pimp with
a chickenshit backbone.
