[Rubin ]
After eight years
at Jamesburg,
:25:03
l escaped.
:25:05
l was angry,
embittered with life.
:25:09
l ran as if on a cloud,
:25:11
unaware of
how high l was stepping
or of anything else around me.
:25:15
There was room in my head
for only one word, one thought..
:25:21
freedom.
:25:25
l ran straight
into the U.S. Army
and a pair of paratrooper wings.
:25:29
My whole life changed.
:25:31
l learned that knowledge
of self and kind...
:25:34
is the only true means
to the liberation
of the blackman.
:25:37
l could do anything.
:25:39
[Jukebox.. Doo-Wop ]
l overcame my stutter.
l became a prizefighter.
:25:42
l came back to Paterson
the all-Army European
welterweight champ.
:25:46
Let me have a soda,
please.
:25:48
Judy, who's
that fine soldier...
:25:50
standing over there
at the bar ?
:25:53
[Continues]
:25:59
Oh, he's a local boy.
:26:01
Rubin Carter, I think.
:26:09
Make it two.
:26:16
[ Whispers ]
I think he's comin'
over here.
:26:18
[ Whispers ]
Uh-oh. Stay cool.
:26:25
Mm-mmm !
:26:28
I'm back.
Mmm, so you missed me,
did you ?
:26:31
[ Man ]
So, tell me--
:26:33
Well, what do you
want to know ?
:26:35
You're in my seat.
:26:38
Uh, you know,
I'm from Georgia,
:26:41
and I was thinkin'
that afterwards...
:26:43
you and me--
:26:47
You're in my seat,
country.
:26:50
I don't see your name
anywhere.
:26:54
That's 'cause you blinded
by the ass-kickin'
I'm about to put on you.
:26:57
Now get up
out of my seat.
