deke o'malley.
You blew it,

Get out of here!
No, no. Listen.
Listen, now.
L-listen, now. Ha.
I got-i got...
listen to me!
I got something
to tell you!
Listen. No, no, no.
No, no. No!
No, don't-
don't turn your backs.
Don't. Listen to me.
Don't turn
your backs on me.
No. No, listen to me.
Listen to me.
Listen!
I can be like malcolm!
Believe me!
Don't turn
your backs on me!
Don't turn your backs-
jarema, what the hell
is going on here?
Oh!
It's empty, luddy.
What's empty?
Damn cotton bale
is empty.
Ha!
Where are they?
Where the hell are those
2 cops who was here?
What, you mean
coffin ed and grave digger?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
They've been gone.
$87,000.
What the hell for?
Your whole operation
is sittin'
on a black volcano, man.
Right, caspar?
Uh, I'm afraid
he's right, tom.
You see, tom, things
have changed up here.
Black people
are thinking about
taking over
white businesses.
Right, caspar?
Right. I was just
reading an article
on black capitalism.
That's right.
And there ain't
no capitalism
bigger than yours
in harlem.
Right, caspar?
Right.
Now, the way I see things
is, uh, is organization.
Uh, and not only new blood,
but black blood,
improvin' the operation
around here.
Uh, seems to me that
there's a whole lot of money
uh, in just being black
these days.
So there's got
to be some way.
Hmm?
Sit down.
How much is it gonna cost me
to stop this kind of talk?
$87,000.
Well,
that bale was empty.
That money must have
been planted in there.
Planted?
By who, you idiot?
Jones and johnson?
Well, I still say the-
the bale was empty.
Well, it sure
ain't empty now.
Lieutenant, I think
Don't you?
Mm-hmm.
Oh,
I bet it's all here.
Well, perhaps
sergeant jarema
ought to
count it himself.
You tricked me.
I don't know how you two
black bastards did it,
but you tricked me.
Jarema,
I want you to apologize
to these two officers
for that racial slur,
or I'll have your badge.
Aw, I apologize,
but...
but...
you'll, uh, have to
overlook jarema.
He's... had a bad day.
Haven't we all?
May we go, captain?
May you-
of course.
Congratulations.
Thank you, sir.
Ed, digger.
Tell me something,
will ya?
What's a bale of cotton
doing in harlem?
and coffin ed johnson..."
uncle budd:
If you'restill dragging the river
looking for the body
of old uncle budd
and the 87,000,

I am now
a retired gentleman
raising cotton on my villa
in africa.
If you are ever
in this neck of the woods,
please drop in and see me.
"Yours truly,
booker washington simms."
Ha ha ha!
Better known
as old uncle budd.
Ha ha ha ha!
