It's magic, Lesra.

We gotta take it out of New Jersey, and we gotta take it to the federal court.

No, well, wait, Rube! W-Wait! Wait. Wait. But, Rube!

The only way I'm ever leaving this place is if...

Don't turn away from the truth. Don't turn away from your conscience.

Are those the guys?

And I congratulate you on your dedication to Rubin's case.

Licence and registration.

What do you think of white folks?

No bullshit. You have my word.

I-I... didn't do nothin'.

- Hmm, cute. - Get down on it

His handwriting is on every report that...

I serve my time in a house of justice...

and put on that fucking uniform.

Do you understand me?

Here comes the story of The Hurricane

- Yeah, well, that school sure not doin' it. - Now wait just a second.

That's what they've reduced you to. I mean, you've obviously elevated it to something else with Lesra.

Look, you have legal custody over my body...

You're a tough guy.

What do you know about doing time? Tell me about it.

Jay says... I'm 50 years old!

Let me tell you something, sunshine.

Oh, he's a local boy. Rubin Carter, I think.

Uh, but there's a card that says 2:45 on it...

No, I mean, why?

I couldn't write you this letter just a year ago...

You got your answer.

for any reason, I'll understand. You...

All right. Let's go.

He didn't deserve this. He didn't deserve any of it.

Yeah, I met 'em at an EPA in Brooklyn, and, you know, they was doin' business.

so I'm not writing...

Yeah. Yeah, write me back.

- I ain't takin' no shit in here! - Rubin, calm down! Calm down!

I'm in the penitentiary for murder, not attempted adultery.

but John Artis did.

- You understand? - Rubin.

The revolution will not be right back after a message about a white tornado white lightning or white people

- Not here. - Hey, I'm talkin' to you. - Hmm?

I see. So what do they do? Are they a religious group...

- No numbers. - What colour are they?

He's gonna rule against us. Rubin's gonna lose.

Little baby, child move you

- I'm goin' in there. - Are you nuts? You wanna get yourself killed?

I boxed. I went to school.

- I know that's what his book says. - Uh, two juries found him guilty, Les.

- Keep the line moving, please. - Come on. Come on.

- Is that your father? - No. My father's asleep.

Aw, that's the great thing about books, you know.

I don't remember anything else. And if someone tries to make me testify, that's just what I'll say.

Look. Look, I'm innocent, that's why.

Have you reached a verdict?

And the second one, and the third one after that! So come on!

Get outta here! Everybody!

Because you have transcended, Lesra.

Cries out, My god they've killed them all

- A nightclub too - In the basement

- We all believe in your innocence. - I've been innocent for 16 years.

rather than reason...

Time now for the main event of the evening!

Rubin Carter has never enjoyed a full, fair...

You got a lot of guts, kid.

but I am a prisoner.

Without commercial interruptions

We've moved down here.

and there is no legal argument that you could make...

Oliver goes down first.

take all the hatred...

As far as I'm concerned...

We'll prove it.

While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell

And give him back the time he's done

unaware of how high I was stepping or of anything else around me.

They ain't givin' up. They said they're gonna demonstrate again.

Then they shoot Hazel Tanis and leave.

Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter.

A criminal. He's a violent man.

Listen to me. These people aren't gonna just let that happen.

That has brought you to your knees

Yeah, well, I like the summers in Brooklyn better.

- Talk to 'em, Jimmy. - Rubin... - Talk to them!

- Professor. - Yeah.

- I don't know - I don't know, I don't know

Ladies and gentlemen...

or, uh, hippies or a commune or...

You will not have to worry about a dove in your bedroom, the tiger in your tank or the giant in your toilet bowl

- Mr Carter? - Yeah.

- Me? - Mm-hmm.

- Kelly, lock everything down! - Go!

as heinous as the crimes for which the defendants...

and, pray God, not turn its eyes away.

The prosecution objects forcefully here.

- It's too heartbreaking. - Well, with all due respect, Mr Friedman...

Now that I know you, I know it isn't right.
