Free Leonard Peltier (2025) Movie Script
You haven't said a goddamn thing yet.
You've said nothing!
How was it in there last night?
The papers at the Bureau
told of the energy companies' plans
for mining and destroying
the natural resources.
We realized that the U.S. government
had this plan
to destroy the way of life of the Indian.
Shooting on the reservation?
All you have to do is say the word,
and we're gonna follow you.
You're the chief, man.
You're the chief, Dick.
I understand your house was firebombed?
Yeah.
There was two of them.
-These were GOONs?
-Yeah, the GOONs.
My little girls could've got burned up.
That was their bedroom.
"I AM SO PREJUDICED AGAINST INDIANS."
Good morning.
After three days full locked down
well, we finally got out.
Well, when you're locked
in a little tiny cell like that
with another person, it's very miserable.
I'm hanging in there, best I can.
Anyway, what's going on, my dear?
What time is it? Did I wake you up?
-Well, I hope it's a good day there.
-I think it'll be--
There's too much stress going on,
waiting and waiting and waiting.
You know, 'cause I need medical treatment.
You know, the experts
gotta look at the aortic aneurysm.
-Yes.
-My shoulders.
I gotta fix my shoulders, my dear.
They're both bad.
Trying to paint and stuff, and I can't.
Do you have an honest to God feeling
that you think we're getting close?
Yup. I know. I know.
I know.
Listen, I'm a goddamn warrior.
I'm not gonna give up now.
I'm doing all right.
I got lucky. I got on the phone.
Did you guys make it?
-All right. Hello, brothers and sisters.
-Hello, brother.
Well, I hope I can spend
some time with you.
I hope I've still got a few years left.
I'm pretty excited right now and, uh,
I'm having a little problem talking but
I can't say thank you enough
to all of yous that are doing this for me.
I try to keep myself from crying,
you know, with this stuff and, uh,
but I almost couldn't hold it back
this time.
I'm overwhelmed
with excitement and happiness
that you guys
are showing me such love, man.
The people have already named
the house the Freedom House.
This is Biden's last night
in the White House.
They're closing everything down.
This could come
-It could come in the morning.
-Yeah, I mean, at this point.
It is the United States government.
We still don't know
until his name is on the list.
Look.
I think that's him right there.
Yeah, no, I feel
I feel good. I feel good.
I'm telling you.
I feel good. That's all I can say.
I can't believe it yet, really.
I know this is true,
but it's really not sunk in.
Wow, man.
What's a Croc?
Can I ask you a question?
What's so cool about them?
And your job
is to tell all the women my age
that I'm available.
You've said nothing!
