Ah. Don't touch me.

All right.

We'll do it your way.

Doctor?

Mr. Charles. Mr. Charles,

I'm coming.

He's got no fluids left.

Get an I.V.

In him right away.

I'll insert the needle.

No needles.

Yes. It's very important.

You need this.

Runner, I've got a runner!

Whoa.

Let me go. Let me go.

Get him on the bed.

Put those restraints on him.

No needles.

No, no.

Oh.

George, I miss you.

I miss you, George.

I miss you.

Oh.

Okay. Uh-oh.

You might be in trouble

right there, Doc.

Hot damn,

you whupped my ass again!

I-I'll tell you what, I won't

lose again the same way twice.

I spoke with the judge in Boston,

and he'll agree to probation.

He was impressed with

your attorney's arguments,

and he believes

you deserve one more chance.

Oh, that's great.

But you must

complete our program

and agree to take

periodic drug tests.

You know what. I'll do it.

I know people don't believe

I'm done with this dope,

but I'm finished.

Who's George?

Ray,

you've come through the worst

of the physical reactions.

We should begin

psychotherapy sessions.

Uh, look, forget

the head shrinking, Doc.

I can handle this.

Mr. Charles,

you're not the first

celebrity junkie I've treated.

Junkie? What...

Nobody cons me

at any price.

I'm not trying

to do that.

If you want me to give that

judge a positive report,

you will have to earn it.

Doc?

Dr. Hacker?

Doc?

Ray, come on, Ray,

play with me!

He ain't there.

Talk to me, son.

I ain't no bad dream.

I'm a part of you.

Even all that dope

couldn't keep me away.

Mama, I kept my promise.

You got strong all right.

Went places

I never dreamed of.

But you still

became a cripple.

Come here, baby.

Come here.

Ray?

It wasn't your fault.

Now promise us

you'll never let

nobody or nothing

turn you into

no cripple ever again.

That you'll always stand

on your own two feet.

Promise.

Today we're here

to right a wrong

that was done to one of our

native sons nearly 20 years ago.

In 1961,

Ray Charles was banned from

performing in the state of Georgia

because he refused to play

before a segregated audience.

Thankfully, we've come

a long way since then.

Some of us have fought for equality

through the political process,

but Ray Charles changed American

culture by touching people's hearts.

So on this day,

March 7, 1979,

we, the duly elected representatives

of the state of Georgia

not only proclaim Georgia on

My Mind our official state song,

we also offer Mr. Ray Charles

a public apology

and welcome him back home.

Every time

I sing this song

If only your mama was here.

She's here.

She ain't never left.

I sing for

Georgia

Whoa, Georgia

The whole day through

Just this old, sweet song

Keeps Georgia on my mind

Georgia

Oh, yeah

Yeah, Georgia

A song of you

Comes as sweet and clear

as moonlight

through the pines

I feel that

Other arms

reach out to me

Other eyes

smile

tenderly

Well, all right now

Yeah

Don't you know?

Still in peaceful dreams

I see a busy road

The road leads back to you

Oh, Georgia

No peace I find

Please stop by

Don't you hear me now?

Just this old, sweet song

I say, oh, I say

Keeps Georgia on my mind

On my mind

On my mind

Yeah

Keeps Georgia

On my mind

You know that the little

girls are on my mind, huh?

Yes, it did, now, yeah

Unchain my heart

Unchain my heart

Baby, let me be

Unchain my heart

Unchain my heart

Unchain my heart

'Cause you don't

care about me

Unchain my heart

You've got me sewed up

like a pillow case

But you let my love

go to waste

So unchain my heart, oh

please, please set me free

Unchain my heart

Unchain my heart

Baby, let me go

Unchain my heart

Unchain my heart

Unchain my heart

'cause you don't love me

no more

Unchain my heart

Every time I call you

on the phone

Some fella tells me that

you're not at home

So unchain my heart, oh

please, please set me free

I'm under your spell

I'm under your spell

Like a man in a trance

Like a man in a trance

But I know darn well

I know darn well

that I don't

stand a chance

I don't stand a chance

So, unchain my heart

Unchain my heart

Let me go my way

Unchain my heart

Unchain my heart

Unchain my heart

You worry me night and day

Unchain my heart

Why lead me

through a life of misery

When you don't care

a bag of beans for me

So unchain my heart,

please, please set me free

Please set me free

Oh, won't you set me free

Please set me free

Whoa, set me free

Please set me free

Wow, set me free
