00:00 [Bruits de la mer]
00:14 - Where does all this stuff come from?
00:17 - Laundry in town.
00:18 They don't do nothing but pick it up and bring it out here.
00:21 We do the laundry and the town gets clean.
00:23 I guess somebody makes a lot of money from it, but it sure ain't us.
00:27 [Bruits de la mer]
00:32 - Aren't there any black trustees?
00:36 - Black trustees?
00:39 Girl, who gonna give a nigger a gun to carry?
00:42 [Bruits de la mer]
00:49 - Sarah?
00:50 - Yeah?
00:52 - Did you really kill somebody?
00:57 - Just some dumb old nigger woman like myself, you know.
01:00 Real lost to nobody.
01:03 - But why?
01:05 - Ain't no why to it.
01:06 We both got paroled to the same farm.
01:09 She got her hands on some whiskey and got crazy drunk.
01:12 And come at me with a pitchfork.
01:15 And I took it away from her and she ran right into it when she come at me the next time.
01:19 - Well, that's self-defense.
01:22 - Well, that's whatever they wanna call it, baby.
01:28 - So they brought you back here, huh?
01:30 - I ain't never really been gone.
01:33 When I came up for parole, there's this member on the board who's got a farm of his own.
01:39 He runs it just like this.
01:41 And I ran into all my friends I thought was long gone on parole.
01:45 So what was really happening was that this board member was getting himself a lot of free labor.
01:51 And we was still serving our time.
01:54 - How can he get away with that?
01:57 - Well, who is going to stop him? Ain't nobody in here gonna do nothing.
02:00 - Well, then somebody on the outside.
02:03 I mean, if the people in town realize what was going on...
02:08 - Get to work, child, or you gonna be here forever, too.
