a bright yellow piece of paper
06:04.533 --> 06:06.466 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
or a bright pink piece of paper,
06:06.466 --> 06:08.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%

06:26.533 --> 06:29.633 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
put that in the letter, because

06:33.933 --> 06:35.400 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
'cause we going to fight.
06:35.400 --> 06:37.133 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
They brought the fight to us...
06:37.133 --> 06:40.133 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
(dialogue fading)
06:57.500 --> 07:01.833 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%

07:01.833 --> 07:05.066 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
JOHNNIE WALKER:
This is my oldest daughter,
07:05.066 --> 07:07.566 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
Debra Louise Hilliard.
07:07.566 --> 07:09.400 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
Now, why make them suffer
07:09.400 --> 07:14.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
into mess like this?
STEVIE: Yes, ma'am.
07:14.633 --> 07:15.633 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Mm-hmm.
07:15.633 --> 07:17.666 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
- That's, that's suffering.
07:17.666 --> 07:19.600 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
You know, it, it's not enough
07:19.600 --> 07:24.666 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
that Black people have been
picked on all their lives.
07:25.800 --> 07:29.066 align:left position:30% line:5% size:60%
It ain't over--
we still being picked on!
07:29.066 --> 07:31.400 align:left position:40% line:5% size:50%
- Yeah.
- We still...
07:31.400 --> 07:35.466 align:left position:25% line:5% size:65%
Some of them think
will try to walk on us.
07:35.466 --> 07:38.033 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
It's only thing it is different,
07:38.033 --> 07:41.766 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
it's just not like it was back
in my great-grandma days,
07:41.766 --> 07:45.033 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and it'll never be like that.
- Hm.
07:45.033 --> 07:47.933 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
- The world will come to the end
before that.
07:47.933 --> 07:51.200 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
- Hm.
- No, no.
07:51.200 --> 07:52.333 align:left position:45% line:89% size:45%
No.
07:52.333 --> 07:55.300 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And to sit in something
like this
07:55.300 --> 07:57.700 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
23 hours a day,
07:57.700 --> 08:00.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
my mind will start running
all kind of ways.
08:00.733 --> 08:02.466 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
And yours would, too.
08:02.466 --> 08:04.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
STEVIE: Right, anybody would,
especially after 120 days
08:04.966 --> 08:06.566 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
in a...
- In this thing.
08:06.566 --> 08:08.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
- That's the size of a parking,
a parking spot.
08:08.500 --> 08:11.200 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
- Is it, is it a parking spot?
- It's small.
08:11.200 --> 08:12.700 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
- Can I open my door?
08:12.700 --> 08:14.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- Probably can't even
open your doors.
08:14.266 --> 08:16.333 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
- Hm.
08:16.333 --> 08:19.700 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
And then you got to sit there
all day, all night,
08:19.700 --> 08:21.733 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
all day, all night, all day,
all night,
08:21.733 --> 08:23.566 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
all day, all night.
08:23.566 --> 08:25.333 align:left position:40% line:89% size:50%
Mm-hmm.

08:33.066 --> 08:34.433 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
STEVIE: Hey, Bubba.
08:34.433 --> 08:36.333 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Yeah, I can hear you, what's up?
08:36.333 --> 08:37.800 align:left position:35% line:89% size:55%
No, no, um.
08:37.800 --> 08:41.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
So, uh, we're out here,
we're out here building a, um,
08:41.566 --> 08:45.966 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%

is the same size of the cell
08:45.966 --> 08:47.400 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
that you're in right now,
08:47.400 --> 08:49.633 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
and so it's going to take us
a little bit of,
08:49.633 --> 08:52.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
a little bit of time
to build it, but I can talk.
08:52.000 --> 08:54.133 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
- Perfect, okay.
08:54.133 --> 08:56.933 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
- So you want, you want me to,
you want me to pull up, um,
08:56.933 --> 08:58.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
my, pull up the internet

08:58.333 --> 09:01.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and look for the songs
at the same time.
09:01.800 --> 09:04.166 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
Tupac?

09:10.766 --> 09:12.266 align:left position:37.5% line:89% size:52.5%
All right.
09:12.266 --> 09:14.400 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
All right, I'm,
I'm gonna have those for you.
09:14.400 --> 09:15.833 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%

09:18.800 --> 09:21.066 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
I love you-- hey, Waday!
09:21.066 --> 09:22.933 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
Waday, before you go, question:
09:22.933 --> 09:24.933 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
when, when you go to sleep
at night,
09:24.933 --> 09:28.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
do they turn off all the lights?
09:28.700 --> 09:31.333 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
They leave the lights on?
09:31.333 --> 09:33.166 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
(kid screeching)
09:33.166 --> 09:34.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
- He does this thing
where, like,
09:34.666 --> 09:36.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
he keeps making me plan
all this stuff
09:36.900 --> 09:39.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that he wants me to do,
like, when he gets out.
09:39.866 --> 09:42.200 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Like, the movies he wants
to watch,
09:42.200 --> 09:45.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%

WOMAN: Let's not swing 'em.
09:53.233 --> 09:54.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%

like, him trying
09:54.266 --> 09:56.533 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
to hold on to things, you know?
09:56.533 --> 10:01.466 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%

don't want it to come apart.
10:16.700 --> 10:18.166 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%

STEVIE:
I'm only suffering for one day.
15:55.033 --> 15:59.133 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
My brother has been suffering
for 122 days.
15:59.133 --> 16:01.100 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
I think the most difficult
part is,
16:01.100 --> 16:03.100 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
is this right here,
to be honest.
16:03.100 --> 16:06.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Is having sat somewhere
to represent my brother,
16:06.333 --> 16:08.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
to represent hundreds
of thousands of folks
16:08.433 --> 16:10.933 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
who are in, who are
incarcerated wrongfully,
16:10.933 --> 16:15.966 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and to, like, feel a kind of,
a fear, a cynicism that,
16:15.966 --> 16:18.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
that this will be a moment
that will pass
16:18.766 --> 16:21.366 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and that no legislative action
will be taken.
16:21.366 --> 16:23.833 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
This is something that affects
people of all races,
16:23.833 --> 16:26.866 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
of all sexual orientations,
of all genders,
16:26.866 --> 16:28.733 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
of all socioeconomic levels.
16:28.733 --> 16:30.433 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
I feel a deep responsibility
16:30.433 --> 16:32.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
to make sure that this moment
doesn't pass,
16:32.333 --> 16:33.700 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
and that we all don't
just look at it
16:33.700 --> 16:35.300 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
as something
that's sensationalized.
16:35.300 --> 16:36.433 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
That's the hardest thing,
16:36.433 --> 16:38.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
is to feel like nothing's
going to change.
