[00:23.39]She sees the bartender in a pool of blood, [00:27.19]Cries out, "My God, they killed them all!" [00:30.86]Here comes the story of the Hurricane, [00:34.61]The man the authorities came to blame [00:38.07]For somethin' that he never done. [00:42.13]Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been [00:46.29]The champion of the world. [00:58.90]Three bodies lyin' there does Patty see [01:02.10]And another man named Bello, movin' around mysteriously. [01:06.33]"I didn't do it," he says, and he throws up his hands [01:09.58]"I was only robbin' the register, I hope you understand. [01:13.75]I saw them leavin'," he says, and he stops [01:17.45]"One of us had better call up the cops." [01:21.16]And so Patty calls the cops [01:24.69]And they arrive on the scene with their red lights flashin' [01:28.67]In the hot New Jersey night. [01:41.53]Meanwhile, far away in another part of town [01:45.00]Rubin Carter and a couple of friends are drivin' around. [01:48.68]Number one contender for the middleweight crown [01:52.25]Had no idea what kinda sh*t was about to go down [01:56.52]When a cop pulled him over to the side of the road [02:00.24]Just like the time before and the time before that. [02:03.55]In Paterson that's just the way things go. [02:07.26]If you're black you might as well not show up on the street [02:11.78]'Less you wanna draw the heat. [02:24.55]Alfred Bello had a partner and he had a rap for the cops. [02:27.91]Him and Arthur Dexter Bradley were just out prowlin' around [02:31.46]He said, "I saw two men runnin' out, they looked like [02:34.30]Middleweights [02:35.39]They jumped into a white car with out-of-state plates." [02:39.39]And Miss Patty Valentine just nodded her head. [02:42.79]Cop said, "Wait a minute, boys, this one's not dead" [02:46.21]So they took him to the infirmary [02:50.46]And though this man could hardly see [02:53.01]They told him that he could identify the guilty men. [03:07.45]Fourn the mornin' and they haul Rubin in, [03:10.58]Take him to the hospital and they bring him upstairs. [03:14.10]The wounded man looks up through his one dyin' eye [03:17.85]Says, "Wha'd you bring him in here for? He ain't the guy!" [03:22.06]Yes, here's the story of the Hurricane, [03:25.81]The man the authorities came to blame [03:29.48]For somethin' that he never done. [03:33.42]Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been [03:37.29]The champion of the world. [03:50.06]Four months later, the ghettos are in flame, [03:53.33]Rubin's in South America, fightin' for his name [03:56.99]While Arthur Dexter Bradley's still in the robbery game [04:00.71]And the cops are puttin' the screws to him, lookin' for somebody [04:03.45]To blame. [04:04.97]"Remember that murder that happened in a bar?" [04:08.65]"Remember you said you saw the getaway car?" [04:11.89]"You think you'd like to play ball with the law?" [04:15.54]"Think it might-a been that fighter that you saw runnin' that [04:18.47]Night?" [04:20.24]"Don't forget that you are white." [04:33.31]Arthur Dexter Bradley said, "I'm really not sure." [04:36.27]Cops said, " A poor boy like you could use a break [04:39.73]We got you for the motel job and we're talkin' to your friend [04:42.83]Bello [04:43.15]Now you don't wanta have to go back to jail, be a nice fellow. [04:47.77]You'll be doin' society a favor. [04:51.38]That sonofabitch is brave and gettin' braver. [04:55.08]We want to put his a** in stir [04:58.82]We want to pin this triple murder on him [05:03.05]He ain't no Gentleman Jim." [05:15.39]Rubin could take a man out with just one punch [05:18.88]But he never did like to talk about it all that much. [05:22.41]It's my work, he'd say, and I do it for pay [05:26.31]And when it's over I'd just as soon go on my way [05:30.46]Up to some paradise [05:33.91]Where the trout streams flow and the air is nice [05:37.87]And ride a horse along a trail. [05:41.56]But then they took him to the jailhouse [05:44.67]Where they try to turn a man into a mouse. [05:58.68]All of Rubin's cards were marked in advance [06:01.83]The trial was a pig-circus, he never had a chance. [06:05.45]The judge made Rubin's witnesses drunkards from the slums [06:09.11]To the white folks who watched he was a revolutionary bum [06:13.21]And to the black folks he was just a crazy nigger. [06:16.78]No one doubted that he pulled the trigger. [06:20.53]And though they could not produce the gun, [06:24.17]The D.A. said he was the one who did the deed [06:28.62]And the all-white jury agreed. [06:42.14]Rubin Carter was falsely tried. [06:44.72]The crime was murder "one," guess who testified? [06:48.33]Bello and Bradley and they both baldly lied [06:51.98]And the newspapers, they all went along for the ride. [06:56.11]How can the life of such a man [06:59.77]Be in the palm of some fool's hand? [07:03.27]To see him obviously framed [07:06.98]Couldn't help but make me feel ashamed to live in a land [07:11.56]Where justice is a game. [07:23.67]Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties [07:27.18]Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise [07:30.90]While Rubin sits like Buddha in a ten-foot cell [07:34.63]An innocent man in a living hell. [07:38.86]Yes, that's the story of the Hurricane, [07:42.53]But it won't be over till they clear his name [07:46.22]And give him back the time he's done. [07:49.90]Put in a prison cell, but one time he could-a been [07:54.06]The champion of the world.
