00:01:32What do you say to the nice young man?
00:01:37Aren't you going to say something?
00:01:40Shake?
00:01:41Atta girl.
00:01:42That's fine.
00:01:43Bye.
00:01:44Bye.
00:01:45Bye.
00:01:47What do you say to the nice young man?
00:01:51Aren't you going to say something?
00:01:53Shake?
00:01:54Atta girl.
00:01:55That's fine.
00:01:57Bye.
00:01:59Bye.
00:02:01Bye.
00:02:02Bye.
00:02:03Bye.
00:02:04Bye.
00:02:05Bye.
00:02:06Bye.
00:02:07Now let me tell you people, the good Lord, he don't care what we do.
00:02:32We can walk, drink, and we can send it, and we can carry on the devil's word, but it don't matter none to the Lord, because we're the ones that have got to pay for it.
00:02:41And he showed us the way, people. He showed me, and he showed you. Praise God, and praise his words. The road to redemption leads before us all.
00:02:51All right, all right. I'm a-coming. What can I do for you, young man?
00:02:56I'm looking for a room.
00:02:57Overnight?
00:02:58No, it'll be at least a week. Maybe two or three.
00:03:01Billy Lee? Charge up at $2.50. We always make a reduction for our permanent temporary guests.
00:03:08Well, that's very nice of you.
00:03:09Put your name and address here.
00:03:12Billy Lee?
00:03:16Billy Lee, you wake up!
00:03:19I was just harassing.
00:03:21Well, I thought you'd taken root.
00:03:22Go on up to a hundred and four and get it aired out, and see if Mabel's dusty, too.
00:03:30Oh, ma'am.
00:03:32Move!
00:03:34I swear I believe that boy's got nigger blood in him somewhere.
00:03:38You don't have to go to all this trouble.
00:03:40It won't take a minute.
00:03:42I suppose you're a salesman.
00:03:44You might say I'm in social.
00:03:46I've come to do what I can for the town.
00:03:49The integration problem.
00:03:51Oh, that.
00:03:53But that's all over.
00:03:54I mean, they've got ten niggers enrolled already in the school.
00:03:58And they're starting Monday.
00:04:00Yes, I know.
00:04:01Do you think it's right?
00:04:02No.
00:04:03I sure don't.
00:04:05Neither does nobody.
00:04:06But it's the law.
00:04:08Whose law?
00:04:09Oh, we're living in a terrible age, people.
00:04:11It's okay.
00:04:12Come up now.
00:04:14You want Billy Lee to torture back?
00:04:16Oh, no.
00:04:17It's not that.
00:04:17Suit yourself.
00:04:19Bombs, bombs, bombs.
00:04:23Well, the Lord warned us we'd be swept away today.
00:04:26Right this way.
00:04:28Oh, come on, baby.
00:04:29We're fine.
00:04:29Let it out.
00:04:30Sam, stop.
00:04:31You better tear my robe.
00:04:32Oh, honey, for heaven's sake.
00:04:34Blame.
00:04:35Sam, stop.
00:04:36Let it out.
00:04:36Come on.
00:04:36Anything you want, just let me know.
00:04:41Well, thank you very much.
00:04:42Oh, there is one thing.
00:04:44What's that?
00:04:45Privacy.
00:04:46I'd like to take care of the room myself, if you don't mind.
00:04:48I guess we can arrange that.
00:04:51Good.
00:04:53We're going to be friends, aren't we?
00:04:55Don't say any reason why not.
00:04:58Oh, I ain't gonna get dressed.
00:05:01No, I know.
00:05:02No, that ain't fair, honey.
00:05:03No.
00:05:03Bye.
00:05:04Now, you stop that carrying on right this instant.
00:05:08You hear me now.
00:05:11Well, looky here, peepin' tom.
00:05:13Why, Sam Griffin, you haven't got the modesty of a hog.
00:05:16I have, too.
00:05:18You want to talk to me that way, honey?
00:05:19Oh, shut up.
00:05:20She's mad because I won't give her a kiss.
00:05:21Now, you listen, Sam.
00:05:23I got a new guest right down the hall.
00:05:26And he's a gentleman.
00:05:28Well, so am I.
00:05:28I just got this terrible case of sex appeal.
00:05:30Ain't a thing I can do.
00:05:32Sam.
00:05:33I'm sorry, Mrs. Lambert.
00:05:35It'll cause you in more trouble.
00:05:36Sam, I'm going to kill you.
00:05:41Sam, that was a big day time.
00:05:42I've got to get dressed.
00:05:43Mr. Russell, I am sorry to interrupt your meditation.
00:06:08But your root beer is ready.
00:06:11Man, you're mean.
00:06:13Hi.
00:06:15Hi.
00:06:16You, uh, authorized to make business transactions?
00:06:19Sir?
00:06:20I give you two dollar bills.
00:06:21You give me a cup of coffee and 19 times for the telephone.
00:06:24All right.
00:06:28I flip you double or nothing.
00:06:31Just put ten cents on the counter.
00:06:33Boy, you're the mainest girl on the face of the earth.
00:06:36Be careful, mister.
00:06:37She's liable to butt your head off.
00:06:39Thank you very much.
00:06:41See you at school.
00:06:42Are you really the meanest girl on the face of the earth?
00:06:45That's what people tell me.
00:06:46No.
00:06:47They're wrong.
00:06:48You don't look mean at all.
00:06:54You go to school around here?
00:06:56Uh-huh.
00:06:57I didn't know they had a college in Caxon.
00:06:59Oh, they don't.
00:07:01You don't go to high school, do you?
00:07:03Mm-hmm.
00:07:03My, my.
00:07:06They do grow things fast here, don't they?
00:07:09You know, miss, I've heard an awful lot about southern hospitality.
00:07:11The question is, does it really exist?
00:07:13Well, sure, I guess so.
00:07:15No, I mean, really.
00:07:16See, here's the thing.
00:07:17I've just moved into Caxon.
00:07:18And I'm anxious to meet some young people here.
00:07:20But I don't have any contacts.
00:07:22Isn't that a sad story?
00:07:26Oh, hi, Dad.
00:07:27I'll check you later.
00:07:29Late again?
00:07:30Sorry, Elle.
00:07:31That's okay, Dad.
00:07:33How's it going, Tom?
00:07:34Oh, all right, I guess.
00:07:36Kind of surprised, though.
00:07:38Looks like the school's gonna open without any trouble.
00:07:40Well, I hope so.
00:07:42Goodbye, Caxon.
00:07:43Thanks.
00:07:44Goodbye, honey.
00:07:45Nice having you work for me.
00:07:46See you later, Ted.
00:07:48Do you think it's all right for a girl my age to go out with older men?
00:07:51Hmm?
00:07:52Oh, never mind.
00:07:58Hi, Mom.
00:08:02Sorry, honey.
00:08:03Well, you could have called.
00:08:05I had a lovely roast.
00:08:06I know.
00:08:08I'm a terrible husband.
00:08:10Oh, sit down.
00:08:11I'll fix you something.
00:08:16What's wrong?
00:08:17Well, it isn't anything, actually, but I had a kind of funny phone call a few minutes ago, and it upset me.
00:08:26Well, was it a salesman?
00:08:28No.
00:08:30Somebody making a survey or something.
00:08:34Well?
00:08:34Well, he wanted to know what I thought of my daughter sitting in a classroom with a bunch of negros.
00:08:44What'd you say?
00:08:46Well, I didn't exactly know what to say, but, well, I told him the truth, that I didn't like it.
00:08:51Did he give a name?
00:08:53I don't remember.
00:08:54Kramer.
00:08:56That's his name, Adam Kramer.
00:08:58Makes sense, too.
00:08:59The best sense I've heard in a year.
00:09:00Where's the coffee?
00:09:01Sit down, Dad.
00:09:02I'll get you some.
00:09:04Good thing you get around this house, you've got to ask for it.
00:09:07What's the matter with you?
00:09:08Mad because you've got somebody in town with a little gumption?
00:09:11Afraid you're going to get showed up?
00:09:13Look, I'm tired.
00:09:15From what?
00:09:16Sitting around on your dead rump all day?
00:09:18Oh, Dad.
00:09:19It's the truth.
00:09:21Everybody knows it.
00:09:22River could bust loose and flood the whole damn town.
00:09:24What do you think he'd do?
00:09:26Write editorials.
00:09:28It takes work and muscles, boy, to stop a flood.
00:09:31And that's what we've got on our hands, a great big black flood.
00:09:34You cut out that kind of talk in front, Ella.
00:09:39Well, I guess that's what happens when you get old and sick.
00:09:44People treat you like dirt, spit on you, waiting around for you to die.
00:09:47All right.
00:09:50Let's forget it.
00:09:51Ruth, get my medicine.
00:09:53Your husband's doing his best to give me a heart attack.
00:09:57What about you, Ella?
00:09:59What do you think about sitting in a room with a bunch of big buck niggers?
00:10:03Ella thinks the same way I do.
00:10:06She doesn't like it, but it's a law.
00:10:08Can't you get that through your thick skull?
00:10:11A law!
00:10:14Well, what has he got his back up about?
00:10:17Good morning.
00:10:21Good morning.
00:10:21How's your social work coming along?
00:10:23We're off to a fine start.
00:10:25Good morning, good morning, Mother Labyrinth.
00:10:27But if you're looking just as pretty as ever this morning, give me a little kiss.
00:10:29Hell yeah.
00:10:30I can't out now.
00:10:32Oh, there.
00:10:32Is this the gentleman you were telling us about?
00:10:33Mr. Adam Kramer.
00:10:35Mr. and Mrs. Griffin.
00:10:36Happy to know you, Adam.
00:10:37First to meet you.
00:10:38Hope we didn't disturb you any last night.
00:10:41Oh, no.
00:10:41No, not a bit.
00:10:42Had your breakfast yet?
00:10:43No, I haven't.
00:10:43Well, neither are we.
00:10:44We'll just head it down to the palace if you'd care to join us.
00:10:46You're welcome, isn't he, honey?
00:10:49Yeah, sure.
00:10:50Come on.
00:10:51Treats on Sam Griffin.
00:10:52You'll convince me.
00:10:58Woo-wee.
00:10:59Going to be another scorcher.
00:11:00Just down the street here, Adam.
00:11:02Not much to look at, but the food?
00:11:04Terrible.
00:11:05Didn't make too many demands on you last night, did I?
00:11:07Oh, Sam.
00:11:09Right in here.
00:11:14How do you do there?
00:11:16Good morning, Goody.
00:11:16Let's ask for your orders of primers, Sam,
00:11:18covered with water, soil, and a little sumus down the side.
00:11:23All right.
00:11:25Scrambled bacon coffee.
00:11:26How about you, Adam?
00:11:27Same.
00:11:27Make it free.
00:11:28Don't forget the water's oil.
00:11:30Kits her every time.
00:11:33Where are you from, Adam?
00:11:34Los Angeles.
00:11:35L.A.
00:11:36No kidding.
00:11:36Well, that's Vi's hometown.
00:11:37Oh, small world, huh?
00:11:39How about that, honey?
00:11:40Say, you two ought to be thick as thieves.
00:11:42I was in California once.
00:11:43Pomona, the fairgrounds.
00:11:44Oh, yeah.
00:11:45That's pushing pens.
00:11:46Same as I'm doing here.
00:11:47Made 300 bucks a day.
00:11:49I take it you're a salesman.
00:11:50Oh, that's a fancy way of putting it.
00:11:52Pitch man would be more like it.
00:11:54Say, I'm working a dime store over in Farragut today.
00:11:56Why don't you come on over?
00:11:56It's only 40 miles.
00:11:58I'd like to.
00:11:58Your work sounds fascinating.
00:12:00What's your line, Mr. Kramer?
00:12:04Social reform.
00:12:06Hmm.
00:12:06Have you been in town long?
00:12:08Quite a while, yes.
00:12:09You?
00:12:10Oh, all summer.
00:12:11We like it here, don't we, honey?
00:12:14Sure, Sam.
00:12:15Axon's a fine place.
00:12:17Real fine people.
00:12:19Something wrong, Vi?
00:12:21No, Sam.
00:12:22I, uh, I got a headache.
00:12:23I think I'll, I'll go back to the room and lie down.
00:12:25I'll go with you, baby.
00:12:26No, please.
00:12:26No, no, no.
00:12:27It's all right.
00:12:28Don't get up.
00:12:29It's a pleasure to have met you, Mrs. Griffin.
00:12:31We're going to be friends, aren't we?
00:12:34Why, if you're friends now.
00:12:37I'll be all right, Sam.
00:12:38Yeah.
00:12:41Well, she's something, ain't she?
00:12:43Very attractive.
00:12:45Wonderful woman, Adam.
00:12:46Really wonderful.
00:12:48Hate to leave her alone so much of the time.
00:12:50She kind of gets bored.
00:12:52Well, if there's anything I can do, just...
00:12:54Oh, no.
00:12:55The park is only a one-night deal.
00:12:57That's the kind of absence that makes the heart grow fonder, if you get what I mean.
00:13:02Where are them eggs?
00:13:10Hi.
00:13:10Hi.
00:13:11Are you the driver?
00:13:12Sure am.
00:13:12You know where Nigger Town is?
00:13:13Yes, sir.
00:13:14Can you take me there?
00:13:52I don't know how to stay.
00:14:22Take me to 22 Myrtlewood Lane.
00:14:35Are you through here?
00:14:36For the moment.
00:14:37All right, things will win.
00:14:59Don't we're always...
00:15:01Beautiful horse.
00:15:02Who are you?
00:15:05My name's Adam Kramer.
00:15:07Your housekeeper said this would be a good time for us to talk.
00:15:09Well, what's on your mind?
00:15:11Quite a bit, sir.
00:15:12I think you'll be interested.
00:15:13Well, you tell me all about whatever it is you're selling.
00:15:16In a letter.
00:15:18Keep on working him, right?
00:15:19Yes, sir.
00:15:19Mr. Shipman.
00:15:24I'm not selling anything.
00:15:26Then what are you after?
00:15:28A little courtesy for one thing.
00:15:31Mr. Shipman, I've traveled all the way from Washington, D.C. to talk to you.
00:15:36Washington, huh?
00:15:36Yes, sir.
00:15:37D.C.
00:15:38Well, let's go over here in the shade.
00:15:40Good.
00:15:41Lovely place you have.
00:15:44Well, now, what is it you want to know?
00:15:47Well, sir, you see, I represent the Patrick Henry Society.
00:15:51And what we'd like to know is just this, how you stand, whether you're for integration or against it.
00:15:55That's a stupid question, young man.
00:15:57I'm a southerner.
00:15:59Sit down.
00:15:59Sit down.
00:16:01See, I was born and raised in these parts.
00:16:03So were my folks.
00:16:04That is, you're against it.
00:16:07Well, of course I'm against it.
00:16:08What's the matter with you?
00:16:09Well, I'd just like to get it straight.
00:16:11You see, sir, our organization agrees with you.
00:16:14We believe this ruling to be one of the greatest wrongs the government has ever perpetrated.
00:16:18Yeah, it's a shame, all right, but what can we do?
00:16:25Fight.
00:16:26We did.
00:16:27We lost.
00:16:29It's a law now.
00:16:31Whose law?
00:16:33I thought this was a democracy, and I thought a democracy was based on the collective will of the people.
00:16:37Sure, of course, sure.
00:16:40And is it the collective will of the people that Negroes should be allowed to mix with whites right under the same roof?
00:16:47Study with them, eat with them, maybe even sleep with them?
00:16:52Is it the collective will of the people that Negroes should be allowed to take over the whole world?
00:16:56Because that's what's going to happen, Mr. Shipman.
00:17:02You think it can be stopped?
00:17:04With your help, I'm sure of it.
00:17:07Legally?
00:17:10Start talking, my boy.
00:17:11Come on, Uncle Rowan.
00:17:29Here's to the bathroom.
00:17:36Here we go, Helen.
00:17:37How many times you go out on that shirt?
00:17:45Well, you want to look nice, don't you?
00:17:50Hey, man, dick, integration, black and white, how about that?
00:17:55Why don't you shut up and turn that junk off?
00:17:58What you talking about, junk?
00:17:59That's music, man.
00:18:01I said turn it off.
00:18:02Joey.
00:18:03I'm sorry, Ma.
00:18:05I'm just bushed.
00:18:07Hey, you really going to make him go to the white school tomorrow?
00:18:10Why, I'm not making him go.
00:18:12Am I, Joey?
00:18:14No, Ma.
00:18:15Well, it's too bad I ain't old enough.
00:18:17I wouldn't be scared, that's all.
00:18:19Who's scared?
00:18:20You are.
00:18:21Man, you know what you ought to do.
00:18:23I'll tell you what you ought to do.
00:18:25Get yourself a gun.
00:18:26Play it cool, see?
00:18:28First grade stud looks at you sideways.
00:18:30Blam!
00:18:32Blam, blam, blam, blam, blam, blam, blam, blam, blam, blam, blam, blam, blam.
00:18:40You're just off.
00:18:47I don't think Daddy would approve of this kind of thing going on.
00:18:50I know Mr. Shipman wouldn't approve of this kind of thing going on in his car.
00:19:01Good morning.
00:19:24Good morning.
00:19:25Will the children step forward, please?
00:19:26I'm not going to bore you with the long sermon.
00:19:34I just want to let you know that I know how you feel, every one of you.
00:19:38I know because I can see it in your faces.
00:19:41Be strong, children.
00:19:43Not muscle and pride strong.
00:19:45Man strong.
00:19:47Let your strength be shown in meekness.
00:19:49And you'll win this fight, not only for yourself, but for all our people.
00:19:55Let us pray.
00:19:57O Lord, in thy mercy, protect these ten lambs.
00:20:02When they walk in the valley of the shadow, comfort them.
00:20:08And when they falter, give them strength.
00:20:11When they despair, give them hope.
00:20:14And let them do thy will.
00:20:18Amen.
00:20:44What did you say, Uncle Rowan?
00:20:46I said you Negroes going to cause some of us niggas to get killed.
00:21:04God Almighty.
00:21:05God Almighty.
00:21:35Hey, Tom.
00:22:02Come here.
00:22:02Come here.
00:22:05There's your invaders.
00:22:08Not much of an army, is it?
00:22:10God Almighty.
00:22:44Hey, nigger! Why don't you go on home?
00:23:00Get out of that school, Smokes.
00:23:10This is a white school for white people!
00:23:13Yeah, you dirty, lousy coon!
00:23:21What's the trouble here?
00:23:22Well, just what do you think?
00:23:43I'll tell you something right here and now.
00:23:58It may be hot tonight, but it's going to get hotter for a whole lot of people.
00:24:02This here little town is going to burn.
00:24:04What I mean, it's going to burn the conscience of the country
00:24:08and put forth a light that everyone and everybody is going to see and feel.
00:24:13This town I'm talking about.
00:24:15Caxton!
00:24:15People, something happened today.
00:24:25Ten Negroes went into the Caxton High School and sat with the white children there.
00:24:30Nobody stopped them.
00:24:34Nobody turned them out.
00:24:37And you know what they're saying that means?
00:24:40They're saying
00:24:41that you all don't give a darn
00:24:43whether the whites mix with the blacks because you didn't fight against it.
00:24:47Well, I say
00:24:50how can somebody fight what he doesn't see?
00:24:53They've kept the facts away from you.
00:24:57They've cheated and deceived every one of you.
00:25:01They've filled your heads with filthy lies
00:25:04and kept you in the dark
00:25:07so that when you finally do wake up
00:25:10why we're sorry
00:25:14but it's just too late.
00:25:17Yee-haw!
00:25:19All right.
00:25:23Now,
00:25:25I'm associated
00:25:26with the Patrick Henry Society
00:25:30which is an organization
00:25:32dedicated
00:25:33to giving the people the truth.
00:25:36What I'm going to tell you
00:25:38is going to make your blood boil.
00:25:41Because I'm going to show you
00:25:42that the way this country is going to go
00:25:45depends entirely
00:25:47and wholly
00:25:49and completely
00:25:51on you.
00:25:52Yee-haw!
00:25:53Yee-haw!
00:25:54Now,
00:25:54you all know
00:26:03that there was peace
00:26:05and quiet
00:26:07in the South.
00:26:09before the
00:26:11NAACP
00:26:12started stirring up trouble.
00:26:15But what you don't know
00:26:18is that this so-called
00:26:20advancement
00:26:20of colored people
00:26:22is now
00:26:24and has always been
00:26:27nothing but a communist front
00:26:30headed by a Jew
00:26:31who hates America
00:26:32and doesn't make any bones
00:26:35about it either.
00:26:37Well,
00:26:37the commies didn't waste
00:26:39a second.
00:26:40They knew
00:26:40only too well,
00:26:41friends,
00:26:43that the quickest way
00:26:44to cripple a country
00:26:46is to mongrelize it.
00:26:50So they poured
00:26:51all the millions
00:26:52of dollars
00:26:53the Jews could get
00:26:54for them
00:26:55into this one thing,
00:26:57desegregation.
00:26:58they went
00:26:59to the courts.
00:27:02Now,
00:27:02Judge Silver,
00:27:04who is a Jew
00:27:07and is known
00:27:09to have
00:27:10leftist leanings.
00:27:11Who says so?
00:27:12The record says so.
00:27:16Look it up.
00:27:18Abraham Silver,
00:27:19for one thing,
00:27:20belongs
00:27:21to the Quill and Pen Society
00:27:23which receives
00:27:24its funds
00:27:25indirectly
00:27:26from Moscow.
00:27:28So what did
00:27:29the judge do?
00:27:31Went right ahead
00:27:33and ordered
00:27:33integration
00:27:34for the Caxton High School.
00:27:37Your mayor
00:27:38and the governor
00:27:40could have stopped it
00:27:42but they didn't have
00:27:42the guts?
00:27:43That's right.
00:27:44All right.
00:27:52Now,
00:27:52you may think
00:27:53the problem
00:27:55is simply
00:27:57whether we're going
00:27:57to allow
00:27:58ten Negroes
00:27:58to go to our schools.
00:28:00That's only a small part.
00:28:02I'm in a position
00:28:03to know
00:28:03because the
00:28:05Patrick Henry Society
00:28:07has studied
00:28:08the whole thing.
00:28:09The real problem,
00:28:11whether you like it
00:28:11or not,
00:28:12is whether you're
00:28:13going to sit back
00:28:14and let desegregation
00:28:17spread throughout
00:28:18the entire South.
00:28:20And it's an indisputable
00:28:21fact
00:28:21that there could be
00:28:22no other result.
00:28:24The Negroes
00:28:24will literally,
00:28:26and I do mean
00:28:27literally,
00:28:28control the South.
00:28:30The vote will be theirs.
00:28:32You'll have black
00:28:33mayors
00:28:33and black policemen
00:28:35the way they do
00:28:35in Chicago
00:28:36in New York
00:28:36in New York
00:28:36already
00:28:37like it's not
00:28:38a black governor
00:28:39and black doctors
00:28:40to deliver your babies
00:28:41if they find time,
00:28:43that is.
00:28:45And that's the way
00:28:46it'll be.
00:28:49Did you ever
00:28:50stop to think
00:28:50about that
00:28:51when you let
00:28:52those ten
00:28:53enter your school,
00:28:54did you?
00:28:55Now, let me ask you.
00:29:04Do you people
00:29:05want niggers
00:29:06taking over?
00:29:07No!
00:29:11And are you willing
00:29:12to fight this thing
00:29:13down to the last ditch
00:29:14and keep fighting
00:29:15until it's over?
00:29:16Yeah!
00:29:20Then I'm willing
00:29:21to fight with you!
00:29:22Why, Mr. Kramer?
00:29:27Why?
00:29:32Because I'm
00:29:33an American, sir,
00:29:34and I love my country.
00:29:36And I'm willing
00:29:37to give my life,
00:29:38if that be necessary,
00:29:40to see that
00:29:41my country
00:29:42stays free,
00:29:45white,
00:29:46and American!
00:29:51Thank you, Mr. Beach, boy!
00:30:15You have the right
00:30:17I think
00:30:17what he's talking about
00:30:19already.
00:30:21I think
00:30:23the
00:30:49I think
00:30:49...
00:30:50What is that?
00:31:01I don't know.
00:31:03Junior, what is it?
00:31:04I don't know.
00:31:06Come on, let's get out of here.
00:31:08Let's get out of here, quick.
00:31:14Take it easy, nigga.
00:31:15You're not going anywhere.
00:31:16What's the trouble?
00:31:16No trouble?
00:31:16You're looking for trouble?
00:31:17No, no said we don't have way to the house.
00:31:19Just run around the house.
00:31:21Please don't do it.
00:31:22We haven't done anything.
00:31:22Who can either of us ride through the taxi, nigga?
00:31:24There's a highway to the house.
00:31:25Yes, I know there is, but...
00:31:26Well, if you know there is, how can you know the street?
00:31:28What the matter with you folks?
00:31:29We haven't done anything.
00:31:30You're doing it up on the street.
00:31:32Look at the monkeys in the back.
00:31:34Junior, please.
00:31:37Please.
00:31:38Please.
00:31:42All right, I'm sorry.
00:31:43We're gone.
00:31:46That's what you say.
00:31:47I figured you were lying, nigga.
00:31:49I don't know.
00:31:49I don't know about you.
00:31:53Talk back to me, nigga.
00:31:55Come on.
00:31:56Come on.
00:31:57Come on.
00:31:58Come on.
00:31:58Kill your...
00:31:59You monster.
00:32:01One move.
00:32:01Why?
00:32:15Why?
00:32:18All right.
00:32:19Break it up.
00:32:20Break it up.
00:32:21Who's there?
00:32:22I say, you miserable little toad.
00:32:24Now, if the rest of you people don't want to spend this night in jail, you get out of here now.
00:32:30In that car and get out of here as fast as you can.
00:32:34All right, all right.
00:32:35What's going on here?
00:32:36Oh, nothing, Sheriff.
00:32:38The good citizens was just having a little fun, that's all.
00:32:41What kind of fun?
00:32:43Best guy.
00:32:45Attack of Negroes.
00:32:46Here's the line, Sheriff.
00:32:47We didn't attack anybody.
00:32:48Oh, no.
00:32:50There seems to be a difference of opinion here.
00:32:52Opinion's got nothing to do with it, Sheriff.
00:32:54The fact is, a family was terrorized on the streets of Caxton.
00:32:58Only hell, it was just a bunch of coons, Sheriff.
00:33:00Who did this here terrorizer?
00:33:07Do you want me to arrest everybody, Tom?
00:33:15All right, it's all over.
00:33:17Let's go home.
00:33:30Hi, Tom.
00:33:34How are you making it, boy?
00:33:35Hello, Vern.
00:33:36You met...
00:33:37Yes.
00:33:38Yes, I've had the pleasure.
00:33:39How are you?
00:33:44What do you want?
00:33:45Nothing.
00:33:46This isn't the way of business.
00:33:48You do run ass, don't you?
00:33:50They meet our standards?
00:33:51By God, Tom.
00:33:52You're still the crankiest man of a morning I ever did see.
00:33:55Well, sir.
00:33:57It doesn't meet our standards.
00:33:59I'd suggest that...
00:34:00I suggest you get the hell out of this office, Kramer.
00:34:02No, no, it's all right, Vern.
00:34:05Mr. McDangle's upset about what happened last night.
00:34:07He holds me responsible.
00:34:08You are responsible.
00:34:10I'm sorry you feel that way about it, sir.
00:34:13Because you and I are fighting on the same side.
00:34:16I'll meet you later, Vern.
00:34:21He's taking you in, has he?
00:34:23Now, look, Tom.
00:34:24Kramer may be young and he may be an outsider and all that.
00:34:28But by damn, you've got to admit he's on the right track.
00:34:31You heard his speech last night.
00:34:33Yes, I heard it.
00:34:34I saw what happened afterwards, too.
00:34:36Boy, don't prove a thing.
00:34:38Probably that that Negro was uppity.
00:34:40That Negro wasn't uppity.
00:34:41He was just passing through town, which is his legal right.
00:34:44Oh, now, come on.
00:34:47Tom, come on.
00:34:49You're just mad because it took somebody from out of town to show us how we've been falling down on our job.
00:34:53Well, I was mad in the beginning, too.
00:34:56But there's no two ways about it.
00:34:57This here thing has got to be stopped.
00:34:59And it's got to be stopped right now.
00:35:02How?
00:35:03By attacking Negroes in the streets?
00:35:05If that's what it takes, yes.
00:35:07Vern, do you know what you're saying?
00:35:12Yes, I know what I'm saying, but I don't think you do.
00:35:16I'm saying that we fought this thing fair and above board and it didn't get us anywhere.
00:35:20Now we're going to have to fight it their way.
00:35:22There's nothing to fight anymore, Vern.
00:35:25The law says we've got to have an integration.
00:35:28I believe in obeying the law.
00:35:30Kramer apparently doesn't.
00:35:32I don't like him.
00:35:34I don't trust him.
00:35:35And I'm certainly not going to run his stinking ad.
00:35:40Doggone.
00:35:42Ain't you forgetting something, Tom?
00:35:44What's that?
00:35:45Well, I own the controlling stock in the messenger.
00:35:49You're working for me.
00:35:52That's the way it is?
00:35:55That's the way it is.
00:35:57Doggone it.
00:36:05Doggone it.
00:39:00Sam said I should drop in on you.
00:39:02Oh?
00:39:03He was spending the night in Farragut.
00:39:05I thought maybe you could use a little company.
00:39:08Well, if not, I'll go on back to my room.
00:39:11I think that'd be a pretty good idea.
00:39:13Is that what you want me to do?
00:39:16Yes.
00:39:17Why?
00:39:19Well, look, I'm getting ready for bed.
00:39:21I...
00:39:2110.15?
00:39:22I thought you were a night out.
00:39:24Come on, please.
00:39:25Oh, come on.
00:39:27Sam would be very put out with you if he heard you weren't hospitable to a friend.
00:39:30I don't consider you a friend, Mr. Kramer.
00:39:35Unkind, definitely unkind.
00:39:37Just one little old cup of coffee.
00:39:38Why did you say that?
00:39:54Say what?
00:39:55And I wasn't a friend.
00:39:59Well, I don't know.
00:40:02Look, I...
00:40:03I'm tired.
00:40:04It's hot.
00:40:04I...
00:40:04I told you.
00:40:06The way you act, you're not afraid of me, are you?
00:40:08No.
00:40:12Don't have to bite my head off.
00:40:20How do you stand it, anyway?
00:40:22I don't know what you're talking about.
00:40:24Oh, no, this town.
00:40:26I should think you'd get awfully lonely, especially with Sam leaving you half the time.
00:40:35Stand it just fine, Mr. Kramer.
00:40:36You were born with that chip on your shoulder, did somebody put it there?
00:40:42Look, if you don't like my personality, you don't have to subject yourself to it.
00:40:45What are you after, anyway?
00:40:48A cup of coffee.
00:40:53Afterwards, you'll have to go.
00:41:06Oh, thank you.
00:41:24Mr. Kramer, I didn't know you were a religious man.
00:41:28You have to admit, it's dramatic.
00:41:30So is a lynching.
00:41:33That's old-fashioned.
00:41:35Otherwise, you wouldn't mind?
00:41:38Mrs. Griffin, that's a terrible thing to say.
00:41:41These people like me.
00:41:43I'm here to save lives, not to take them.
00:41:45I'm the Empress of China.
00:41:54I know what you're doing here, but why?
00:41:58Who can say?
00:41:59Great times call forth great men.
00:42:04You're a great man?
00:42:06Not yet.
00:42:06You don't want to talk politics, do you?
00:42:16I've already told you all you need to know about me.
00:42:20You despise me, but you're attracted to me.
00:42:22Isn't that right?
00:42:25Isn't it?
00:42:27Isn't it?
00:42:31If you don't mind, I'm going to take off my coat.
00:42:33It's getting awfully hot in here.
00:42:33Aren't you hot?
00:42:41I hope you know these bulbs are giving off a lot of heat.
00:42:45Look at the difference.
00:42:48See?
00:42:51We're down five degrees, I'll bet.
00:42:57You're not very comfortable, are you?
00:43:03It does get lonely for you, doesn't it, Vy?
00:43:06I know it does.
00:43:07I feel that way myself a lot of the times.
00:43:11I almost go crazy sometimes,
00:43:13because there isn't anybody who feels things the way I do.
00:43:18I think how wonderful it would be to meet a person like that
00:43:23and be with that person.
00:43:25Not for long.
00:43:26Just a little while.
00:43:30Just a little while.
00:43:31No.
00:43:33Adam, please.
00:43:34Please.
00:43:35Please, please, what?
00:43:36You want me to leave?
00:43:37You want me to leave?
00:43:38Adam.
00:43:38You want me to leave?
00:43:39Adam.
00:43:39You want me to leave?
00:43:41You want it?
00:43:42You know you want it?
00:43:43Well, that settles it.
00:43:58We're taking Ella out of school tomorrow.
00:44:02We're doing nothing of the kind.
00:44:05Well, Tom, what's got into you?
00:44:07I don't know what you're thinking anymore.
00:44:10I'm not sure I do.
00:44:11Well, Ruth, tell me something.
00:44:14How do you feel about this question?
00:44:17Well, I'm not sure I know what you mean.
00:44:20About integration.
00:44:22Well, I think it's a terrible thing.
00:44:26Why?
00:44:27Why?
00:44:29Because it just isn't right.
00:44:31That's why.
00:44:34Tom, are you in favor of it?
00:44:42Yes.
00:44:44Well, why didn't you?
00:44:45Because I didn't know.
00:44:47I don't think I knew really till now.
00:44:51One thing Adam Kramer's done for us, he's made us face ourselves.
00:44:55Well, what are you going to do?
00:44:59I don't know.
00:45:04I'm not sure.
00:45:07I'm not sure of anything.
00:45:09Except this is right.
00:45:12And we've got to face up to it.
00:45:13Come on, come on.
00:45:25Yeah.
00:45:25I...
00:45:27I...
00:45:28I...
00:45:30I...
00:45:46I...
00:45:48I...
00:45:53I...
00:45:55What did you pull him in for, Rudy?
00:46:06He smarted off that and dared me to take him to jail.
00:46:09Yeah, but you know he didn't have anything to do with that bombing.
00:46:13Maybe you know. I don't.
00:46:19How are you, Vern?
00:46:21I might as well tell you right off the bat I don't cotton any of this.
00:46:24I strung along with you because I figured you were smart, but smart people don't end up here.
00:46:27Oh, I'm not ending up here, Vern. This is just the beginning.
00:46:32Never underestimate the value of a jail sentence.
00:46:36Remember Socrates, Lenin, Hitler.
00:46:41The bail is $10,000. What if I don't put up the money?
00:46:45Get it, Vern. I don't want your money. Get it.
00:46:49Haven't I told you that?
00:46:52Where are you going to get it?
00:46:54Thank you, thank you very much.
00:47:13I want to thank the Reverend Neeson, Mr. Carey, Mr. Dongan, for what they've done for me.
00:47:19Our friend Vern Shipman offered to get me out of jail.
00:47:21I told him no.
00:47:24I told him,
00:47:25Look, you hear? The people will see to it.
00:47:33Now, listen, he's a good man, but he didn't believe me.
00:47:35I want you to know I'm mighty glad
00:47:38to show him I was right.
00:47:40He knows for sure now the people of Caxton won't stand still for no injustice.
00:47:45Yeah!
00:47:51What the sheriff thought was that I was responsible for the dynamiting up in the Badlands.
00:47:57Why, I could not believe he was serious.
00:47:58I said to him,
00:48:00Sheriff,
00:48:01I said,
00:48:02Whoever planted that bomb,
00:48:04it wasn't nobody in the Patrick Henry society.
00:48:07We got brains enough to know
00:48:09that killing a nigger preacher
00:48:10and blowing up a church can do us nothing but harm.
00:48:14Throwing a scare into the niggers
00:48:15is good.
00:48:17But we got to be very,
00:48:19very careful.
00:48:21Right?
00:48:22Yeah, that's right.
00:48:23Now, I ain't condemning anybody.
00:48:27Whoever planted that bomb
00:48:28was doing what he thought was right.
00:48:32But he was wrong.
00:48:36I hope you all see that now
00:48:37and go on acting according to the orders of the society.
00:48:41Well, I don't know anything about that.
00:48:44But I know one thing.
00:48:46Ain't gonna be one solitary nigger
00:48:47gonna have enough guts
00:48:48to step into our school now.
00:48:50It's all over.
00:48:52Hey!
00:49:18Hello, Adam.
00:49:20Sam.
00:49:21How are things?
00:49:23Okay, I guess.
00:49:24Good.
00:49:26How did you do in, uh,
00:49:27Farrakhan?
00:49:28Sell many,
00:49:29what is it,
00:49:30pens?
00:49:32Well, I'm glad to hear it.
00:49:33Is there something you want to see me about, Sam?
00:49:37I'll tell you the truth,
00:49:38I'm kind of pooped.
00:49:39I thought maybe...
00:49:39Look, Adam,
00:49:39I know this ain't none of your business
00:49:41and I got no right bothering you with it.
00:49:42But I got to talk to somebody.
00:49:43I just got to.
00:49:44I'll go crazy if I don't.
00:49:45What is it, Sam?
00:49:46What's the matter?
00:49:46She's gone.
00:49:47She's gone.
00:49:49Bye, she's gone.
00:49:50Let me run out.
00:49:52What happened?
00:49:53I don't know.
00:49:55I got back from Farrakhan about two o'clock.
00:49:56I got a present for her.
00:50:00I got up to the room,
00:50:01she was gone.
00:50:01Just a note saying she'd love me
00:50:03but it was no good for me.
00:50:04I should forget her.
00:50:05Oh, I'm really very, very sorry.
00:50:08Do you have any idea
00:50:09why she'd do a thing like that?
00:50:11Yeah, I think maybe I can guess
00:50:12part of the reason.
00:50:14Oh.
00:50:15I never told anyone this,
00:50:17but I consider you a friend, Adam.
00:50:21Before I met Vice,
00:50:22she, well, she knew a lot of men.
00:50:24It was like a disease with her.
00:50:25Doctor's got a name for it,
00:50:26but they can't cure it alone.
00:50:28When I met Vice,
00:50:29I fell in love with her.
00:50:30I knew she was a good woman.
00:50:31I thought maybe I could help her.
00:50:33Five years, we've been happy.
00:50:35Now this,
00:50:37I figure she got in some trouble.
00:50:40What sort of trouble?
00:50:41Man trouble.
00:50:43Like if some fella come along,
00:50:44caught her a weak moment, she...
00:50:46What do you think, Adam?
00:50:48You think that could be it?
00:50:50Well, it's possible, I guess,
00:50:52but I just can't bring myself
00:50:54to believe it of Mrs. Griffin.
00:50:55She doesn't seem the type.
00:50:56You know what I mean?
00:50:57It was a man.
00:50:59But who?
00:51:00You!
00:51:05Oh, sir.
00:51:07Don't bother thinking up a lot of lies.
00:51:09I know what happened.
00:51:09This is an old hotel.
00:51:10The walls are thin.
00:51:11Mrs. Lambert heard you.
00:51:12I wasn't going to deny it, Sam.
00:51:16The reason I didn't tell you before was...
00:51:18was because I didn't want to hurt you anymore
00:51:20than you've been hurt already.
00:51:21Really, honest.
00:51:21That's the truth.
00:51:24Blame me if you want to,
00:51:25but Sam,
00:51:25I'm going to level with you.
00:51:28It was a lot of my fault.
00:51:29Now, sure,
00:51:29I won't pretend that it wasn't.
00:51:30I went to your room
00:51:31just to say goodnight.
00:51:33And we were talking,
00:51:33you know,
00:51:34just talking.
00:51:34And I don't know.
00:51:36Suddenly,
00:51:36everything started to go wrong.
00:51:38Can you understand?
00:51:39I understand.
00:51:41So I slept with her.
00:51:42Okay, I admit it.
00:51:44But you've got to know this.
00:51:45No matter how much you blame me
00:51:47and hate me
00:51:48and want to shoot me,
00:51:51it wasn't all my fault.
00:51:53And there's another thing.
00:51:55Mrs. Griffin
00:51:55said I wasn't the first.
00:51:57I mean,
00:51:58since you've been married,
00:51:58she's slept with plenty of others.
00:52:00And she said she knew it didn't matter
00:52:01because you'd never catch on.
00:52:03Sam,
00:52:03I'm forcing myself
00:52:05to tell you this.
00:52:05It's the truth.
00:52:06You liar!
00:52:09I'm telling the truth
00:52:10and not lying.
00:52:14Oh, you missed your calling, boy.
00:52:16You made a fine pitch, man.
00:52:17You know just the right way
00:52:18to work on people's weak spots.
00:52:20But you know something?
00:52:21I'm going to find her
00:52:22and I'm going to get her back.
00:52:24And when I do,
00:52:24we'll be closer than ever.
00:52:26So in a way,
00:52:27you've really done us
00:52:28a big favor, friend.
00:52:33You know something?
00:52:40We're in the same line,
00:52:41you and me.
00:52:42We're both selling something.
00:52:44But I've been at it longer.
00:52:45I can see where
00:52:46you're making mistakes.
00:52:47And right now,
00:52:48those mistakes are beginning
00:52:48to pile up on you.
00:52:50And a little while,
00:52:50they're going to smother you.
00:52:53Get out of here.
00:52:54I've been studying your pitch.
00:52:55It's not bad.
00:52:56You've got technique.
00:52:57But you know what's wrong?
00:52:59You're too clever, Adam.
00:53:00You've got no room
00:53:01in your head for intelligence.
00:53:03Because if you were intelligent,
00:53:04you'd be able to see
00:53:04that you started
00:53:05something you can't control.
00:53:07You think you're the boss now?
00:53:09Wake up, boy.
00:53:09That mob's the boss.
00:53:11What do you know,
00:53:12your big boob?
00:53:14Did you tell them
00:53:14to blow up the church?
00:53:28I'm sick of listening
00:53:33to you, Ray.
00:53:34Now, get out of here
00:53:36before I pull the trigger.
00:53:39Well, people are wonderful.
00:53:41You couldn't pull that trigger
00:53:42if your life depended on it.
00:53:45Because deep down inside,
00:53:46you're gutless, Adam.
00:53:47You know you're gutless.
00:53:49That's why you're doing this,
00:53:50to prove to yourself
00:53:50that you're not.
00:53:54I'll give you five.
00:53:56If you're not out of here,
00:53:57by then, I'll pull the trigger.
00:54:00One.
00:54:02Two.
00:54:06Three.
00:54:11Four.
00:54:14Five.
00:54:16See what I mean, boy?
00:54:21Of course, you never want
00:54:22to be too sure
00:54:22of anything, either.
00:54:24Rule of the trade.
00:54:27Get away from me.
00:54:37Get away from me.
00:54:39No, boy.
00:54:40I don't think I'll do that.
00:54:42I think I'll stick around
00:54:43for a while.
00:54:44You won't see me likely,
00:54:45but I'll be here.
00:54:46I always did like fireworks.
00:54:48Fireworks.
00:54:48Fireworks.
00:54:49Fireworks.
00:54:50Fireworks.
00:54:51Fireworks.
00:54:52Fireworks.
00:54:53Fireworks.
00:54:54Fireworks.
00:54:55Fireworks.
00:54:56Fireworks.
00:54:57Fireworks.
00:54:57Fireworks.
00:55:02Fireworks.
00:55:02Fireworks.
00:55:02Miss Green?
00:55:20That's right.
00:55:21My name is McDaniel.
00:55:23I think we've met once.
00:55:24I'm the editor of the newspaper.
00:55:25You come here to go, mister.
00:55:27Get on back to town.
00:55:28Put it in the paper.
00:55:29Those niggas give up.
00:55:30You won't have to kill any more of us.
00:55:31Bob.
00:55:31Mr. Green.
00:55:33I know you have no reason to trust me
00:55:35and I have no right to expect you to.
00:55:37But I'm on your side.
00:55:38Yeah.
00:55:39Please.
00:55:40Please believe me.
00:55:42I understand how you feel.
00:55:44I know it's hard.
00:55:45And I can't promise you that nobody else will get hurt.
00:55:48Maybe they will.
00:55:48I don't know.
00:55:50But you mustn't give up now.
00:55:52Your boy here and the other children
00:55:53have got to go to school this morning.
00:55:55It means everything.
00:55:56That's easy to say,
00:55:57but what have you got to lose, white man?
00:56:00My job.
00:56:01My home.
00:56:01Maybe my family.
00:56:04Is that enough for you?
00:56:08Joy, don't try to stop me, Pop.
00:56:10You know he's right and so do I.
00:56:12We can't give up now.
00:56:15We'd better hurry.
00:56:16I can't give up now.
00:56:59This will be okay.
00:57:13Thank you very much.
00:57:15Come on.
00:57:29McDaniel.
00:57:41Yes?
00:57:42You got anything to say?
00:57:43Oh, what?
00:57:44You know what?
00:57:45We've seen you, McDaniel, and we want an explanation.
00:57:48Now we're waiting.
00:57:49Please, get out of my way.
00:57:53Hold it!
00:57:55What are you?
00:57:56Like the man said, an explanation.
00:57:59Yeah, you tell us, McDaniel.
00:58:00How come you walked that bunch of black niggers to our white school?
00:58:03I don't see anything I'd do as any business of yours.
00:58:06We figured you was against all this.
00:58:08And we've seen you taking them jigs to school.
00:58:10We got kind of a surprise, see?
00:58:12That's why we figured you ought to do some talking.
00:58:14Yeah, what have you got to say for yourself now?
00:58:17Which one of them niggers paid you off?
00:58:20It ain't polite not to answer a civil question.
00:58:23Ebner here wants to know who paid you to betray your people.
00:58:26Yeah, let's teach him a lesson now.
00:58:28Why don't you get 15 or 20 more people, Cary?
00:58:37Then you'll feel really safe.
00:58:39Teach him, Bart!
00:58:40You shut your mouth, nigga lover.
00:58:41You're awful good with the questions.
00:58:43How are you with the answers?
00:58:44Where were you when that preacher was killed, Cary?
00:58:46Shout out for you're going to get the same thing.
00:58:47Where were you?
00:58:48I'll shoot.
00:58:50That's teaching!
00:58:51Come on!
00:58:52How do I feel?
00:58:54Kill him!
00:58:55Kill him!
00:58:55Kill him!
00:58:56Kill him!
00:58:56Kill him!
00:58:57Kill him!
00:58:57Kill him!
00:58:57Kill him!
00:58:58Kill him!
00:58:59Kill him!
00:58:59Kill him!
00:58:59Kill him!
00:59:00Kill him!
00:59:01Kill him!
00:59:02Kill him!
00:59:02Kill him!
00:59:03Kill him!
00:59:03Kill him!
00:59:04Kill him!
00:59:04Kill him!
00:59:05Kill him!
00:59:12I'm sorry, honey.
00:59:14I guess I just wasn't cut out to be a hero.
00:59:21Am I going to lose the eye?
00:59:22No, don't go get them yet.
00:59:26No, don't go get them yet.
00:59:30I want to know.
00:59:36You've already lost it, Tom.
00:59:43They did a pretty good job, didn't they?
00:59:45I don't know.
00:59:46I'm sorry.
00:59:47I'm sorry.
00:59:48I'm sorry.
00:59:48Father!
00:59:53Father!
00:59:55I'm all right.
00:59:57It's all right.
01:00:00You better go home, honey.
01:00:02It's late.
01:00:06We mustn't upset your father.
01:00:08He's going to be all right.
01:00:10I'll be long in a little while.
01:00:21I'm sorry, honey.
01:00:24Don't be.
01:00:26I'm not.
01:00:28Not in the least.
01:00:32It's the best thing you've ever done, and I'm proud of you.
01:00:35I wish I could tell you that I know why you did what you did,
01:00:40why you feel the way you do,
01:00:43but I can't lie to you, Tom.
01:00:48I don't believe in integration,
01:00:50but I believe in you.
01:00:55And if this means so much to you,
01:00:57that you're willing to risk everything,
01:01:00even your own life for it,
01:01:02then I know it must be right.
01:01:04So I'm going to try to understand.
01:01:08I'm going to try very hard, darling.
01:01:12I only ask you to give me a little time.
01:01:17I love you, honey.
01:01:20Tell me it's not too late for us.
01:01:24It isn't.
01:01:26It never is.
01:01:30Maybe you'd better get the doctor now.
01:01:34Well, sir, you know, that kind of injury,
01:01:43it always kind of slows the place.
01:01:45Well, how is he?
01:01:46I think I'm just about to...
01:01:48Haven't you gone deaf to ask you a question?
01:01:52Well?
01:01:54He has four broken ribs and...
01:01:56And what?
01:01:59Internal injuries, and he lost his eye.
01:02:02Well, he was lucky.
01:02:04Lucky?
01:02:05Yes, in my day,
01:02:05they strung a man up for doing what he done.
01:02:08And I'd have been on the end of the rope, too.
01:02:10What's the matter with him, anyhow?
01:02:11How am I going to face my friends?
01:02:13I never was so embarrassed in my life.
01:02:15Oh, shut your filthy, stinking mouth!
01:02:18If you're interested in saving your father's life,
01:02:30you better listen and listen carefully.
01:02:33I'm going to have to say some things I don't want to say.
01:02:38The men who beat up Mr. McDaniel this morning are desperate.
01:02:41You understand, desperate.
01:02:44You saw what they did.
01:02:45Now, the reason for that word is not a name.
01:02:49Never mind the reason.
01:02:52Just understand this.
01:02:53They'll kill your father if we don't do something.
01:02:56They'll go right into that hospital.
01:02:58And there'll be so many of them.
01:03:00The sheriff won't know what to do.
01:03:02They'll blow his head off.
01:03:06So listen carefully.
01:03:07If you want to save your father's life,
01:03:13this is what you're going to have to do.
01:03:22Man, the world in shape it is today.
01:03:24She wants us to study progress, man.
01:03:25I don't know.
01:03:26Oh, you're just afraid to touch them, that's all.
01:03:33I don't know about you, but
01:03:35I can't tell them apart.
01:03:37You should get out.
01:03:49Excuse me.
01:03:50Are you Joy Green?
01:03:52That's right.
01:03:53Well, I'm Ella McDaniel.
01:03:55Tom McDaniel's daughter.
01:03:57Oh, I heard about what happened yesterday.
01:04:00I hope he's better.
01:04:01Is he?
01:04:03Yes, he's a lot better.
01:04:05I wish you'd thank him for us, miss.
01:04:07He did a real fine thing.
01:04:09He's a fine man.
01:04:11I know.
01:04:13Well, better get going.
01:04:15The bell's about to ring.
01:04:18Oh, wait a second.
01:04:19I...
01:04:19I wonder if you'd do me a favor.
01:04:23Sure, if I can.
01:04:25Oh, well, it isn't much.
01:04:27Well, you see, I'm working down the storage room,
01:04:29and I've got to get some things,
01:04:30and, well, I could use a little help.
01:04:33Well, I'll have to ask the same off.
01:04:34Wait right now.
01:04:34Oh, I spoke to her.
01:04:35Oh, she doesn't mind.
01:04:37It'll just take a few minutes.
01:04:38I just want you to kind of help me with some things.
01:04:40Well, okay.
01:04:44Well, come on.
01:04:49Let's go.
01:04:55Come on.
01:04:58Wait here a second until I put the light on.
01:05:00All right.
01:05:20Over here.
01:05:28Up here.
01:05:29It's these two boxes, Alba.
01:05:48Okay.
01:05:50Miss McDaniel?
01:05:56Miss McDaniel?
01:05:59That doesn't.
01:06:04What's the matter, McDaniel?
01:06:05Want to get it to be done?
01:06:09What happened?
01:06:10What happened?
01:06:11Danny, we don't know what you're talking about.
01:06:13Tell us.
01:06:13What happened?
01:06:15Nigga, tried to rape a white girl.
01:06:16What's that?
01:06:17Nigga, you know the one they called Joe Green?
01:06:19Happened 20 minutes ago.
01:06:20Elma McDaniel, you know her.
01:06:21The fellow who's in the hospital's daughter.
01:06:23I knew it would happen.
01:06:24Yeah, I'm a doctor.
01:06:25Where is that fellow?
01:06:26The principal's office.
01:06:28They got him locked up there.
01:06:29Well, this is precisely what we've been afraid of, isn't it?
01:06:32Are we going to do something about it?
01:06:35All right.
01:06:36Go and get every member of the society.
01:06:38Right now.
01:06:39Tell them to meet here as quickly as they can.
01:06:41Right now.
01:06:43Tell them what happened at the school and they'll come.
01:06:46They'll come.
01:06:47Danny.
01:06:48Danny.
01:06:49You go on back.
01:06:50Round up as many kids as you can.
01:06:52Walk ahead.
01:06:52Guaranteed.
01:06:53This better work.
01:06:58It will.
01:07:00You keep your mouth shut if you don't start thinking on your own anymore.
01:07:03That McDaniel's going to talk.
01:07:05I know it.
01:07:05Probably so after what you did to him, you idiot.
01:07:08What are you going to do?
01:07:10End this thing.
01:07:11Half.
01:07:13This is the last question I want to hear from you.
01:07:16From now on, I'll do all the thinking.
01:07:17Understood?
01:07:18Understood?
01:07:19Now get out of here and get up some people fast.
01:07:21Hello, Vern.
01:07:31Adam.
01:07:33I've got some news for you.
01:07:36Calmly, Ella.
01:07:37Tell us once again exactly what happened.
01:07:41Now, I know it's hard for you to talk, but this is a very serious charge you've made.
01:07:45We've got to get our facts straight.
01:07:47You understand that, don't you?
01:07:49Ella, please.
01:07:50I told you.
01:07:52Ella, why did you want those pads at that particular time?
01:07:56Because we were out.
01:07:57I understand that, but why didn't you have Miss Siegfried get one of the boys to do it for you?
01:08:01I don't know.
01:08:03I'd like to be excused now, if you don't mind.
01:08:07Very well, Miss Siegfried.
01:08:08You're excused.
01:08:09Wait a minute.
01:08:10Wait.
01:08:14Ella, is there any more you want to tell us?
01:08:16All right, you can go.
01:08:20I called your house, but your mother isn't there.
01:08:22You want me to call her at the hospital?
01:08:25Perhaps in that case, Miss Siegfried will drive you home.
01:08:27I don't believe it.
01:08:34I don't believe any part of it, do you?
01:08:37I don't know what to think.
01:08:39Could have been any other girl who'd say she was lying.
01:08:42But Tom McDaniel's daughter?
01:08:44Oh, I don't care whose daughter.
01:08:46We both know Joey Green is too smart to do anything so stupid.
01:08:50Ella is lying.
01:08:52Well, doesn't much matter now.
01:08:53It's her story.
01:08:54Convince any jury.
01:08:56Humboldt boy said he saw Green sneak down after.
01:08:59Afraid we're beaten.
01:09:00Hello, give me the sheriff.
01:09:14Right away.
01:09:15Go get Joey Green.
01:09:17Hello, Rudy.
01:09:19Rudy, this is Holly Pat.
01:09:20Now listen carefully.
01:09:21I want you to get as many men together as you can to get over the school right away.
01:09:24We've got trouble with one of the students.
01:09:26Yes, Rudy, one of the colored students.
01:09:28Hurry.
01:09:28Rudy, Rudy, we've got a mob outside.
01:09:35Lock the door.
01:09:39And don't be frightened.
01:09:40I just talked to Sheriff Parkhouse.
01:09:41He'll be here in a minute.
01:09:42There's nothing to worry about.
01:09:44I didn't do it, Mr. Pat.
01:09:46I know you didn't, Joey.
01:09:48Patent.
01:09:49Forgive us him, Patent.
01:09:53What do you want?
01:09:54You know what we want.
01:09:56Yeah.
01:09:56Yeah.
01:09:56Exactly five minutes.
01:10:13If that nigger ain't out here by then, we're coming in to get him.
01:10:15Isn't that right?
01:10:26Joey, how would you explain it?
01:10:28I think somebody must have put her up to me.
01:10:31It's the only thing I can think.
01:10:34Adam Kramer.
01:10:34You're on our side, aren't you, Mr. Patent?
01:10:42Yes, Joey, I am.
01:10:44Only you figure we'll whip now.
01:10:46One minute, Patent!
01:10:49Remember, no violence.
01:10:51We gave Sheriff Parkhouse our promise to bring him to jail.
01:10:54We're not a mob.
01:10:54We're a citizen's committee.
01:10:55You tell him, Gary.
01:11:11Remember, no violence.
01:11:13There isn't any need for it.
01:11:15Don't worry.
01:11:16They'll see what the cause is.
01:11:18See how we take care of it.
01:11:19Come on!
01:11:20Let's go get down!
01:11:21I wouldn't bother with that, Mr. Patent.
01:11:26I think Sheriff Parkhouse is going to be a little late.
01:11:28Joey, you come with me.
01:11:29My car's in the back.
01:11:30I'll drive you to Paragot.
01:11:31No, that's what they want.
01:11:35Joey.
01:11:39Joey!
01:11:39Joey!
01:11:42I'm in.
01:11:44I'm in.
01:11:51Did you people want to talk to me?
01:12:10You're Joseph Green?
01:12:12That's right.
01:12:13You admit you tried to rape one of our white girls today?
01:12:18No, I don't.
01:12:18What do you mean, no, you don't?
01:12:22I mean, I didn't try to rape anyone.
01:12:24You're lying, idiot.
01:12:24Now, you be still.
01:12:27We're going to listen to what this boy has to say for himself.
01:12:31So, you claim you're innocent.
01:12:33Is that right?
01:12:35That's right.
01:12:36Didn't anybody ever teach you to address a white man as sir?
01:12:44Now, let that be your first lesson.
01:12:45You've got blood on your mouth, boy.
01:12:50Wipe it off.
01:12:53What do you say?
01:12:57Thank you what?
01:13:00Thank you, sir.
01:13:01Now, I'm going to ask you just one more time, boy.
01:13:12And I want you to think before you answer.
01:13:14You think real hard.
01:13:18Because if you tell us the truth, you've got nothing to be afraid of.
01:13:21But if you lie to us,
01:13:23you're going to be in more trouble than you ever dreamed of.
01:13:35Were you in that basement?
01:13:38I was in the basement.
01:13:40With a white girl?
01:13:43Yes, sir.
01:13:43I think we're going to take him to jail now.
01:13:49Oh.
01:13:51You were alone
01:13:52with a white girl
01:13:54in the basement of the school.
01:13:57But you didn't try to do anything.
01:14:00Is that what you're saying?
01:14:02Is that what you expect us to believe, nigger?
01:14:05Well, speak up!
01:14:06Here comes the nigger lover now.
01:14:12There's a Palestine Indian.
01:14:13There's a nigger lover.
01:14:18Only a coward would hit a defenseless boy.
01:14:21Is that what you're calling me, Patton?
01:14:23Yes, that's exactly what I'm calling you.
01:14:25You're a miserable yellow coward, Mr. Shipman.
01:14:28Just like every cheap bully in the world.
01:14:31And that goes for you too, Mr. Adam Kramer.
01:14:33For every one of you here.
01:14:35Now, do I make myself perfectly clear?
01:14:44Remain of my office
01:14:45until the barricade police arrive.
01:14:47If you want to avoid a jail sentence,
01:14:48I would advise all of you people
01:14:49to leave at once.
01:14:56You admit it.
01:14:59That's too bad.
01:15:00You give us no choice.
01:15:05Let's see what you think you're going'n at, nigger.
01:15:08No!
01:15:10Later on, yeah, baby.
01:15:23Take a man!
01:15:24THE END
01:15:54THE END
01:16:24THE END
01:16:26Hold on there a minute
01:16:33Hello, Adam
01:16:39Ella
01:16:42Like I said, you never want to be too sure of anything
01:16:45Who are you?
01:16:47The name is Griffin, Sam Griffin
01:16:48Well, what do you want?
01:16:50Nothing now
01:16:51Then move aside
01:16:54We've got important business to attend to
01:16:58What kind of business, Mr. Shipman?
01:17:00You folks aiming to do something to this boy?
01:17:02Look, Griffin, I don't know who you think you are
01:17:04And I don't know why you brought this girl here
01:17:06Because if you do, I think maybe there's something you ought to hear
01:17:08It just might affect this business you're on
01:17:10Tell them, Mr. McDaniel
01:17:12Tell them what you told me
01:17:13It was a lie
01:17:16What's that? What are you talking about?
01:17:18It was a lie
01:17:19Everything
01:17:21Everything I said about Joey
01:17:23All of it
01:17:24What the devil do you mean?
01:17:26She means her father told her to cover up for the knicker
01:17:28That's what she's doing
01:17:29Hell yes, that's it
01:17:30We're wasting time
01:17:31Girl, you listen here to me
01:17:34Why would a girl go ahead and tell a story like that if it wasn't the truth?
01:17:38The fact is, she was put up to it by our friend, Mr. Kramer here
01:17:41Ain't that right, Adam?
01:17:42Vern, this guy is crazy
01:17:43Shut up!
01:17:44You go on
01:17:45Your boy was getting desperate, Mr. Shipman
01:17:47He was on the verge of losing everything he'd built up
01:17:49So he threatened the girl
01:17:50Told her he'd kill her father
01:17:52Vern, don't listen to him
01:17:53This man is crazy, I tell you
01:17:55Is that right, girl?
01:17:57He promised me there wouldn't be any trouble
01:17:59He said nothing would happen to the boy except he might be expelled
01:18:03I'm sorry
01:18:05I'm so sorry
01:18:07I didn't mean for this to happen
01:18:09All right, honey, you go on back to the car, be all right
01:18:12Ella
01:18:17Oh, Ella
01:18:24Is that right, bitch?
01:18:26I think she did not?
01:18:27I threw her to the ol' der rush
01:18:28I thought she was going around
01:18:30You don't know
01:18:31I just felt like her
01:18:32Yeah, she just felt like it
01:18:32I threw her
01:18:34I didn't mean that he could do
01:18:35I didn't mean that he knew anything
01:18:36I didn't mean that he meant it
01:18:37I liked her
01:18:38I didn't mean that she would take
01:18:40an Olivia
