Maybe we should

put a little sugar in her coffee.

That bring her around?

Sarah Malcolm

ain't ever gonna go your way, boys.

I tell you right now,

you're better off playing hardball.

Hardball?

What are you talking about?

Look, look, stop.

Please. I can handle her.

Hey, if you don't,

we can always up the stakes a bit.

Look, I do not want to hear that.

Duncan, just don't get reckless on us.

- Ahh.

Careful, it is.

Careful, it is, boys.

Uh, y'all, uh-

y'all take care now.

All right. Take 'er easy, Duncan.

You'd better deliver

what you say, Doc.

To me you're a honeybee

on a daisy.

But most of these Valley Corp boys

see you as a fly squatting on a cow pie.

Hey, L. Donn. That, uh, business

we were talking about?

Mm-hmm?

- We need to go ahead with that.

So because of this

one little girl in New Orleans-

What's her name?

- Ruby Bridges.

That's right. Because she was

brave enough to go into that school...

even though she looked

different from everyone else...

even though people called her names

and no one would sit with her, she still did it...

so that everyone could have

a better life.

And this week we're celebrating

the life of Raul Malcolm.

He was a courageous pioneer for social justice,

and he's from right here in Julia.

Great. Line up.

Hello?

- Sarah.

Ron Palmer.

You left so fast

we didn't have time to talk.

I talked, Ron.

- I know, you did.

But these are powerful people.

Just work with them on this.

You know what this is about.

They will move you out of the way

if they have to, Sarah.

Just think about it.

Ohh!

- Damn, man! What'd you do?

Can you grab a rag

out of the truck, please?

Hey, sh*t, man. You're gonna need

that thing attended to. I'll drive ya.

You can drive this?

- Man, I can drive anything. Come on.

Come on.

That you?

Yeah, it's me. We cool?

Yeah, we cool.

I'm Joel.

Man, just keep putting pressure

on that thing. I'm Lonnie.

All right, you know

how to get to the hospital?

We're gonna go to the

clinic right down the road.

Gospel Hill?

We all bleed the same, brother.

Come on.

Aren't you gonna say hello?

John Malcolm.

Sometimes you are just

an impossible man, you know that?

Why is it every time something important

comes up- I mean, truly important-

you wanna go and stick your head

in the sand...

just like you do

in that damn pickup.

Well, what you expect me to do?

- I expect you to stand up.

That's the John Malcolm

I once knew.

Proud man, wouldn't be caught dead

with his head down.

Where's he?

- Hey, you're not being fair, Sarah.

Well, maybe not. But I need you on this,

at least to support me.

You can't fight them folks.

You just being simple, Sarah.
