00:00:00The
00:01:47What do you say to the nice young man?
00:01:52Aren't you going to say something?
00:01:53Shake?
00:01:55That's fine.
00:01:58Bye.
00:01:59Water.
00:02:01Water.
00:02:12Water.
00:02:14Water.
00:02:19Water.
00:02:28Now let me tell you people, the good Lord, he don't care what we do.
00:02:32We can go out and drink and we can send and we can carry on the devil's work.
00:02:37But it don't matter none to the Lord, because we're the ones that have to pay for it.
00:02:41And he's shown us the way, people.
00:02:43He showed me and he showed you.
00:02:45Praise God and praise his works.
00:02:51All right, all right, I'm a-coming.
00:02:54What 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?
00:03:03Charge will be $2.50.
00:03:05We 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'm just arresting.
00:03:21Well, I thought you'd taken root.
00:03:25Go on up to 104 and get it aired out and see if Mabel's dusty, too.
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 work.
00:03:46I've come to do what I can for the town.
00:03:50The 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.
00:04:08Who's law?
00:04:09Now we're living in a terrible age, people.
00:04:11It's okay.
00:04:12Come up now.
00:04:14Do you want Billy Lee to torture back?
00:04:16Oh, no.
00:04:17It's not that.
00:04:17Suit yourself.
00:04:20Bums.
00:04:21Bums.
00:04:22Bums.
00:04:23Well, the Lord warned us.
00:04:24We'd be swept away to take.
00:04:26Right this way.
00:04:28Come on, baby.
00:04:29It's fine.
00:04:30Fell it down.
00:04:30Come on.
00:04:30Sam, stop.
00:04:31You better tear my robe.
00:04:32Oh, honey, for heaven's sake.
00:04:34Please.
00:04:39Anything 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.
00:05:03Oh, my.
00:05:05Now, you stop that carrying out right this instant.
00:05:08You hear me now.
00:05:11Well, looky here.
00:05:12Peeping 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.
00:05:27Well, so am I.
00:05:29I just got this terrible case of sex appeal.
00:05:30Ain't anything I can do.
00:05:32Sam, I'm sorry, Mrs. Landry, but we'll cause you in more trouble.
00:05:36Sam, I'm going to kill you.
00:05:41Sam, I'm going to kill you.
00:06:04Mr. Russell, I am sorry to interrupt your meditation, but 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 dams 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 meanest 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.
00:06:46Oh, they'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 Caxton.
00:06:59Oh, they don't.
00:07:01You don't go to high school, do you?
00:07:03Uh-huh.
00:07:05My, 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 Caxton, and 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.
00:07:28I'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.
00:07:36I'm kind of surprised, though.
00:07:38Looks like the school's going to open without any trouble.
00:07:40Well, I hope so.
00:07:42Goodbye, Miss Cain.
00:07:43And thanks.
00:07:44Goodbye, honey.
00:07:45Nice having you work for me.
00:07:47See 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.
00:08:04I 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.
00:08:15What'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
00:08:25upset me.
00:08:26What, was it a salesman?
00:08:28No.
00:08:30Somebody making a survey or something.
00:08:34Well?
00:08:36Well?
00:08:37Well, he wanted to know what I thought of my daughter sitting in a classroom with a bunch of Negroes.
00:08:44What did 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.
00:09:27It 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 of Ella.
00:09:39Well, I guess that's what happens when you get old and sick.
00:09:43People treat you like dirt, spit on you, waiting around for you to die.
00:09:49All 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.
00:09:58What 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 have you got it back up about?
00:10:19Good morning.
00:10:21Morning.
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 Lappert-Meyer.
00:10:27But you're looking just as pretty as ever this morning.
00:10:28Give me a little kiss.
00:10:29Hell yeah.
00:10:30I pan 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.
00:10:37Pleased 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 down to the palace.
00:10:45If you'd care to join us, you'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.
00:10:58Whoo-wee.
00:10:59Going to be another scorcher.
00:11:00Just down the street, you're 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?
00:11:08Sam.
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,
00:11:19and a little sumus on the side.
00:11:23All right.
00:11:25Scrambled eggs and coffee.
00:11:26How about you, Adam?
00:11:27Same.
00:11:27Make it three.
00:11:28Don't forget the water's oil.
00:11:30Kids are 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.
00:11:38Small 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.
00:11:45I was 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 sale
00:11:55over in Paraguay today.
00:11:56Why don't you come on over?
00:11:56It's only 40 miles.
00:11:58I'd like to.
00:11:59Your work sounds fascinating.
00:12:00What's your line, Mr. Kramer?
00:12:04Social reform.
00:12:06Hmm.
00:12:06Been 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.
00:12:15Axan's a fine place.
00:12:17Real fine people.
00:12:19Something wrong, Brian?
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 a bit.
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.
00:12:32We're going to be friends, aren't we?
00:12:34Well, if you're friends now.
00:12:37I'll be all right, Sam.
00:12:38Yeah.
00:12:42She'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.
00:12:55Farrakhan's 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.
00:13:12Do you know where Nigger Town is?
00:13:14Yes, sir.
00:13:14Can you take me there?
00:13:58Do you know where Nigger Town is?
00:14:03Shall we?
00:14:18Come on in.
00:14:18Yes, sir.
00:14:19Go, Nigger Town.
00:14:21Go, Nigger Town.
00:14:21I know how to start.
00:14:22Go, Nigger Town.
00:14:25Come here.
00:14:29Come here.
00:14:29Have it on a dinner.
00:14:31Come here.
00:14:33Take me to 22 Myrtlewood Lane.
00:14:35Are you through here?
00:14:36For the moment.
00:14:53Well, right, things will win.
00:14:59Don't we always?
00:15:01It's a beautiful horse.
00:15:05Who 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. I think you'll be interested.
00:15:13Well, you tell me all about whatever it is you're selling in a letter.
00:15:17Keep on working him, right?
00:15:19Yes, sir.
00:15:21Mr. Shipman, I'm not selling anything.
00:15:26Then what are you after?
00:15:28A little courtesy, for one thing.
00:15:30Mr. Shipman, I've traveled all the way from Washington, D.C. to talk to you.
00:15:36Washington, huh?
00:15:37Yes, sir. D.C.
00:15:38Well, let's go over here in the shade.
00:15:40Good.
00:15:42Lovely place you have.
00:15:43Thank you. Thank you.
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. Sit down.
00:16:00See, 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?
00:16:10Well, 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.
00:16:38Sure, 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
00:16:45the same roof, study 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?
00:16:57Because that's what's going to happen, Mr. Shittman.
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.
00:17:26Floor, everyone.
00:17:28Here's the bathroom.
00:17:36Here, I'll have it.
00:17:42How many times you can 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.
00:18:04I'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 great stud looks at you sideways.
00:18:31Blam!
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.
00:18:57I know Mr. Shipman wouldn't approve of this kind of thing going on in his car.
00:19:23Good morning.
00:19:24Will the children step out, please?
00:19:31I'm not going to bore you with the long salmon.
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.
00:19:51Not 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.
00:20:07And when they falter, give them strength.
00:20:11When they despair, give them hope.
00:20:15And let them do thy will.
00:20:18Amen.
00:20:20Amen.
00:20:44What did you say, Uncle Rowan?
00:20:46I said you Negroes going to cause so much niggers to get killed.
00:21:03God almighty.
00:21:27God almighty.
00:21:29God almighty.
00:21:36God almighty.
00:21:39God almighty.
00:21:39God almighty.
00:21:54God almighty.
00:22:00God almighty.
00:22:01Come here.
00:22:07There's your invaders.
00:22:08Not much of an army, is it?
00:22:57Hey, nigger!
00:22:58Why don't you go on home?
00:23:00Stay out of that school, Snogs.
00:23:10This is a white school for white people!
00:23:13Yeah, you dirty, lousy coon!
00:23:20What's the trouble here?
00:23:22Well, just what do you think?
00:23:56I'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!
00:24:21People, something happened today.
00:24:25Ten Negroes went into the Caxton High School and sat with the white children there.
00:24:32Nobody stopped them.
00:24:34Nobody turned them up.
00:24:37And you know what they're saying that means?
00:24:40They're saying
00:24:42that you all don't give a darn
00:24:43whether the whites mix with the blacks because you didn't fight against it.
00:24:48Well, I say
00:24:50how can somebody fight what he doesn't see?
00:24:53They've kept the facts away from you.
00:24:56They've cheated and deceived every one of you.
00:25:01They've filled your heads with filthy lies
00:25:05and kept you in the dark
00:25:08so that when you finally do wake up
00:25:13why we're sorry
00:25:14but it's just too late.
00:25:17Yee-haw!
00:25:19All right.
00:25:24Now, I'm associated
00:25:27with the Patrick Henry Society
00:25:30which is an organization
00:25:32dedicated
00:25:34to 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
00:25:46depends entirely
00:25:48and wholly
00:25:50and completely
00:25:51on you.
00:25:52Yee-haw!
00:25:54Yee-haw!
00:26:01Now, you all know
00:26:04that there was peace
00:26:05and quiet
00:26:07in the South
00:26:10before the NAACP
00:26:12started stirring up trouble.
00:26:16But what you don't know
00:26:18is that this so-called
00:26:20advancement of colored people
00:26:23is now
00:26:25and has always been
00:26:27nothing but a communist front
00:26:29headed by a Jew
00:26:31who hates America
00:26:32and doesn't make any bones
00:26:35about it either.
00:26:37Well, the commies
00:26:38didn't waste a second.
00:26:39They knew
00:26:40only too well, friends,
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
00:26:53that Jews could get
00:26:54for them
00:26:55into this one thing
00:26:57desegregation.
00:26:59They went to the courts.
00:27:02Now, Judge Silver
00:27:05who is a Jew
00:27:08and is known
00:27:09to have leftist leanings
00:27:11Who says so?
00:27:15The 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 from Moscow.
00:27:28So what did the 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 the guts.
00:27:43That's right.
00:27:48All right.
00:27:52Now, you may think
00:27:54the problem
00:27:56is 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
00:28:01of it.
00:28:02I'm in a position
00:28:03to know
00:28:05because the
00:28:05Patrick Henry Society
00:28:07has studied
00:28:08the whole thing.
00:28:09the real problem
00:28:10whether you like it or not
00:28:12is whether you're going
00:28:13to sit back
00:28:16and let desegregation
00:28:17spread
00:28:18throughout the entire South.
00:28:20And it's an indisputable fact
00:28:21that there could be
00:28:22no other result.
00:28:23The Negroes
00:28:24will literally
00:28:25and I do mean literally
00:28:27control the South.
00:28:29The vote will be theirs.
00:28:32You'll have black mayors
00:28:33and black policemen
00:28:35the way they do
00:28:35in Chicago
00:28:36and New York already.
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 stop
00:28:50to think about that
00:28:52when you let those
00:28:53ten enter your school?
00:28:54Did you?
00:28:55Stop them!
00:28:55Stop them!
00:29:01Now 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?
00:29:20Then I'm willing
00:29:21to fight with you!
00:29:22Why, Mr. Kramer?
00:29:27Why?
00:29:32Because I'm an 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 were necessary
00:29:40to see that my country
00:29:42stays free
00:29:45white
00:29:46and American!
00:29:47and I'll see you next time
00:30:17to my rest
00:30:17and I'll see you next time
00:30:17I don't know what he's talking about.
00:31:00What 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.
00:31:08Get 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.
00:31:17You're looking for trouble.
00:31:17No, sir, we're on our way to the house.
00:31:19We're on our way to the house.
00:31:21Please don't do it.
00:31:22We haven't done anything.
00:31:22Who can either do the rest of the ride to 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,
00:31:27how can you do it on the street?
00:31:28They're on all that stuff.
00:31:29What the matter, you folks?
00:31:29We haven't done anything.
00:31:30You're doing it up our streets.
00:31:32Look at the monkeys in the back.
00:31:34Junior, please.
00:31:36Please.
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 figure you're lying, nigga.
00:31:49I don't lie.
00:31:50I don't know about you.
00:31:50All right.
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 yourself.
00:31:59I'm one step.
00:32:00One move.
00:32:12I don't know about you.
00:32:15I don't know about you.
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.
00:32:26Now, if the rest of you people don't want to spend this night in jail, you get out of
00:32:28here now.
00:32:29In that car and get out of here as fast as you can.
00:32:34All right.
00:32:34All right.
00:32:35What's going on here?
00:32:36Oh, nothing, Sheriff.
00:32:37Sheriff, the good citizens was just having a little fun, that's all.
00:32:41What kind of fun?
00:32:43The best guy.
00:32:44Attack 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.
00:32:58Family hell, it was just a bunch of coons, Sheriff.
00:33:03Who did this here terrorizing?
00:33:07Do you want me to arrest everybody, Tom?
00:33:15All right.
00:33:16It's all over.
00:33:17Let's go home.
00:33:33Hi, Tom.
00:33:34How are you making it, boy?
00:33:35Hello, Vern.
00:33:36You met, uh...
00:33:37Yes.
00:33:38Yes, I've had the pleasure.
00:33:39How are you?
00:33:44What do you want?
00:33:46Nothing.
00:33:46This isn't the way of business.
00:33:48You do run ads, don't you?
00:33:49They 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.
00:33:57Doesn't meet our standards.
00:33:59I'd suggest that you...
00:34:00I suggest you get the hell out of this office, Kramer.
00:34:02No, just a minute.
00:34:03No, 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.
00:34:39That Negro wasn't uppity.
00:34:41He was just passing through town, which is his legal right.
00:34:45Oh, now, come on.
00:34:47Tom, come on.
00:34:49You're just mad because it took somebody from out of town
00:34:51to show us how we've been falling down on our job.
00:34:53Well, I was mad in the beginning, too.
00:34:55But 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.
00:35:08Vern.
00:35:09Vern, 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,
00:35:18and 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.
00:35:27I 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.
00:35:36And I'm certainly not going to run his stinking ad.
00:35:41Doggone...
00:35:41Ain'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.
00:38:59Hello?
00:39:00Sam said I should drop in on you.
00:39:02Oh?
00:39:03He said he was spending the night in Farragut.
00:39:05I thought maybe he could use a little company.
00:39:08Well, if not, I'll go on back to my room.
00:39:11I think that would 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.
00:39:33I don't consider you a friend, Mr. Kramer.
00:39:35Unkind.
00:39:35Definitely unkind.
00:39:37Just one little old cup of coffee.
00:39:42Okay.
00:39:52Why did you say that?
00:39:54Say what?
00:39:58And I wasn't a friend.
00:40:01I 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?
00:40:10No.
00:40:12I don't have to bite my head out.
00:40:20How do you stand it, anyway?
00:40:22I don't know what you're talking about.
00:40:24Well, you know, this town.
00:40:26I should think you'd get awfully lonely.
00:40:28Especially with Sam leaving you half the time.
00:40:35Stand it just fine, Mr. Kramer.
00:40:37You were born with that chip on your shoulder and 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.
00:40:53Afterward, you'll have to go.
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.
00:41:44I'm here to save lives, not to take them.
00:41:47I'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.
00:42:12You 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.
00:42:37Aren'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?
00:42:52We'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.
00:43:27Just 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...
00:43:41You want it, you know you want it.
00:43:43Oh.
00:43:44Oh.
00:43:44Oh.
00:43:46Oh.
00:43:46Oh.
00:43:47Oh.
00:43:48Oh.
00:43:55Well, 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.
00:44:12Ruth, 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.
00:44:25Why?
00:44:27Why?
00:44:29Because it just isn't right, that's why.
00:44:35Tom, 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,
00:44:54he's made us face ourselves.
00:44:56Well, 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.
00:45:24Come on, come on.
00:45:25Yeah.
00:45:27I don't know.
00:45:28I don't know.
00:45:30You know.
00:45:53I don't know.
00:46:03What did you pull him in for, Rudy?
00:46:06He smarted off him 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 him. I don't.
00:46:20How 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.
00:46:27I'm not ending up here, Vern. This is just the beginning.
00:46:33Never 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 yet.
00:46:49Haven't I told you that?
00:46:52Where are you going to get it?
00:47:11Thank you very much.
00:47:13I want to thank the Reverend Neeson, Mr. Carey, Mr. Dongan, for what they've done for me.
00:47:18Our 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.
00:47:36I want you to know I'm mighty glad
00:47:39to 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!
00:47:52What the sheriff thought was that I was responsible for the dynamiting up in the badlands.
00:47:57That's why I could not believe he was serious.
00:47:59I said to him, Sheriff,
00:48:01I said, whoever 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
00:48:11and blowing up a church can do us nothing but harm.
00:48:14Throwing a scare into the niggers is good.
00:48:16But we got to be very, very careful.
00:48:21Right?
00:48:22Yeah, that's right!
00:48:23Now, I ain't condemning anybody.
00:48:27Whoever planted that bomb was 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.
00:48:45Ain't gonna be one solitary nigger gonna have enough guts
00:48:48to step into our school now.
00:48:50It's all over.
00:48:52Hey!
00:49:17Hello, Adam.
00:49:20Sam.
00:49:21How are things?
00:49:23Okay, I guess.
00:49:24Good.
00:49:26How did you do in Farragut?
00:49:28Sell many...
00:49:29What is it?
00:49:30Pens?
00:49:31Well, I'm glad to hear it.
00:49:36Is there something you want to see me about, Sam?
00:49:37I'll tell you if I'm kind of pooped.
00:49:39I thought maybe...
00:49:39Look, Adam, I know this ain't none of your business
00:49:41and I got no right bothering you with it.
00:49:42But I gotta 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?
00:49:47She's gone.
00:49:49She's gone.
00:49:50She's gone.
00:49:50Let me run out.
00:49:52What happened?
00:49:53I don't know.
00:49:55I got back from Farragut about 2 o'clock.
00:49:58I didn't have 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 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 why she'd do a thing like that?
00:50:11Yeah, I think maybe I can guess part of the reason.
00:50:14Oh, I never told anyone this
00:50:16but I consider you a friend, Adam.
00:50:21Before I met Vi, she knew a lot of men.
00:50:24It was like a disease with her.
00:50:25Doctors got a name for it
00:50:26but they can't cure it alone.
00:50:28When I met Vi, I 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.
00:50:43Likely some fella come along
00:50:44caught her a weak moment.
00:50:45She
00:50:47What do you think, Adam?
00:50:48You think that could be it?
00:50:51Well, it's possible, I guess
00:50:52but I
00:50:54just can't bring myself to believe it
00:50:55if Mrs. Griffin
00:50:55she doesn't seem the type.
00:50:57You know what I mean?
00:50:57It was a man.
00:50:59But who?
00:51:00You.
00:51:01You.
00:51:05Oh, Sam.
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
00:51:19was because I didn't want to hurt you anymore
00:51:20and 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
00:51:25Sam, I'm going to love it with you.
00:51:28It was a lot of my fault.
00:51:29Now, sure, I won't pretend that it wasn't.
00:51:30I went to your room
00:51:32just to say goodnight
00:51:32and we were talking, you know,
00:51:34just talking
00:51:34and I don't know.
00:51:36Suddenly, everything 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.
00:51:43But 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
00:51:56said I wasn't the first.
00:51:57I mean, since you've been married
00:51:58she's slept with plenty of others.
00:51:59And she said she knew it didn't matter
00:52:01because
00:52:01because you'd never catch on.
00:52:03Sam, I'm forcing myself
00:52:05to tell you this.
00:52:05It's the truth.
00:52:06Rire!
00:52:08Sam.
00:52:09I'm telling you 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.
00:52:38You 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 you're
00:52:46making mistakes.
00:52:47And right now
00:52:48those mistakes
00:52:48are beginning to 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.
00:52:56It'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.
00:53:02Because if you were intelligent
00:53:04you'd be able to see
00:53:04that you started something
00:53:05you can't control.
00:53:07You think you're the boss now?
00:53:08Wake up, boy.
00:53:09That mob's the boss.
00:53:11What do you know?
00:53:12You're a big boob.
00:53:14Did you tell them
00:53:15to blow up the church?
00:53:32I'm sick of listening
00:53:34to you, Ray.
00:53:35Now 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
00:53:43if your life depended on it.
00:53:45Because deep down inside
00:53:46you're gutless, Adam.
00:53:48You 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.
00:54:01One.
00:54:03Two.
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.
00:54:31Get 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.
00:54:45I always did like fireworks.
00:54:47I always did like fireworks.
00:55:14I always did like fireworks.
00:55:19Miss 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.
00:55:29Us 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
00:55:34to trust me
00:55:35and I have no right
00:55:35to 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.
00:55:43I know it's hard.
00:55:45And I can't promise you
00:55:46that nobody else will get hurt.
00:55:47Maybe they will.
00:55:48I don't know.
00:55:49But you mustn't give up now.
00:55:51Your boy here
00:55:52and the other children
00:55:53have got to go to school
00:55:54this morning.
00:55:55It means everything.
00:55:56That's easy to say
00:55:57but what have you got
00:55:58to lose, right, man?
00:56:00My job.
00:56:01My home.
00:56:02Maybe 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
00:56:11and so do I.
00:56:12We can't give up now.
00:56:15We'd better hurry.
00:56:42God bless you.
00:57:11This will be okay.
00:57:13Thank you very much.
00:57:15Come on.
00:57:40Daniel. Yes?
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.
00:57:50Please, get out of my way.
00:57:53Hold it!
00:58:22What are you?
00:58:34What are you doing?
00:58:47What are you doing?
00:58:50What are you doing?
00:59:11I'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?
00:59:27What are you doing?
00:59:28I'm not going to lose the eye on it.
00:59:30You're not going to lose the eye on it.
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?
00:59:48Father!
00:59:55I'm all right. It's all right.
01:00:00You better go home, honey. It's late.
01:00:06We mustn't upset your father. He's gonna be all right.
01:00:13I'll be long in a little while.
01:00:21I'm sorry, honey.
01:00:24Don't be. I'm not. Not in the least.
01:00:32It's the best thing you've ever done, and I'm proud of you.
01:00:36I wish I could tell you that I know why you did what you did,
01:00:41why you feel the way you do, but I can't lie to you, Tom.
01:00:48I don't believe in integration, but I believe in you.
01:00:55And if this means so much to you that you're willing to risk everything,
01:00:59even your own life for it, then I know it must be right.
01:01:05So I'm gonna try to understand.
01:01:08I'm gonna 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.
01:01:23It isn't. It never is.
01:01:30Wait. Maybe you'd better get the doctor now.
01:01:41Well, how is he?
01:01:47I think I'm just about to...
01:01:48Damn it, you gone deafed. I asked you a question.
01:01:52Well?
01:01:54He has four broken ribs.
01:01:56And what?
01:01:59Internal injuries, and he lost his eye.
01:02:02He was lucky.
01:02:04Lucky?
01:02:05Yes, in my day, they strung a man up for doing what he done.
01:02:07And 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 gonna face my friends?
01:02:13I never was so embarrassed in my life.
01:02:15Oh, shut your filthy, stinking mouth!
01:02:28If you're interested in saving your father's life,
01:02:30you'd better listen and listen carefully.
01:02:33I'm gonna have to say some things I don't wanna say.
01:02:38The men who beat up Mr. McDaniel this morning are desperate.
01:02:42You understand? Desperate.
01:02:44You saw what they did.
01:02:45Now, the reason for that will...
01:02:46It's 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.
01:02:55They'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.
01:03:11If you want to save your father's life,
01:03:15this is what you're gonna have to do.
01:03:22Man, the world in the shape it is today.
01:03:24She wants us to study frogs, 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...
01:03:36I can't tell them apart.
01:03:37You should get out.
01:03:49Excuse me.
01:03:50Are you Joey Green?
01:03:51That's right.
01:03:53Well, I'm Ella McDaniel.
01:03:55Tom McDaniel's daughter?
01:03:57Oh.
01:03:58I heard about what happened yesterday.
01:04:00I hope he's better.
01:04:01Is he?
01:04:03Yes.
01:04:04He'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...
01:04:22I wonder if you'd do me a favor.
01:04:24Sure, if I can.
01:04:25Well, 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.
01:04:31Well, 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.
01:04:42Well, 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.
01:05:01Okay.
01:05:13All 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?
01:05:57Miss McDaniel?
01:06:02Yeah, it does it.
01:06:04What's the matter, McJohn?
01:06:06Want to get you to beat him?
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?
01:06:15Nigger tried to rape a white girl.
01:06:16What's that?
01:06:17Why?
01:06:17You know the one they called Joe Green?
01:06:19Happened 20 minutes ago.
01:06:2020 minutes ago.
01:06:21You know her.
01:06:21The fellow who's in the hospital's daughter.
01:06:23I knew it would happen.
01:06:25Who is that fellow?
01:06:27Principal'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.
01:06:39Come 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.
01:06:48Danny.
01:06:49You go on back.
01:06:50Round up as many kids as you can.
01:06:52Buck ahead. Guaranteed.
01:06:56This better work.
01:06:58It will.
01:07:00You can 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.
01:07:12Half.
01:07:13That's the last question I want to hear from you.
01:07:16From now on I'll do all the thinking, understood?
01:07:18Understood?
01:07:19Now get out of here and get up some people fast.
01:07:29Hello, Vern.
01:07:31Adam.
01:07:33I've got some news for you.
01:07:36Calmly, Ella.
01:07:38Tell 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.
01:07:57What?
01:07:57I understand that, but why didn't you have Miss Siegfried get one of the boys to do it for you?
01:08:01Oh, I don't know.
01:08:03I'd like to be excused now if you don't need me.
01:08:07Very well, Miss Siegfried, you're excused.
01:08:09Wait a minute.
01:08:14Ella, is there any more you want to tell us?
01:08:18All 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?
01:08:24Well, perhaps in that case, Miss Siegfried will drive you home.
01:08:33I 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 it 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.
01:08:51Well, doesn't much matter now.
01:08:53It's her story.
01:08:54Convince any jury.
01:08:56Humble boy said he saw Green sneak down after her.
01:08:59Afraid we're beaten.
01:09:13Hello, 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.
01:09:27One of the colored students.
01:09:28Hurry.
01:09:29Rudy, we've got a mob outside.
01:09:37Lock 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. Patton.
01:09:46I know you didn't, Joey.
01:09:47Patton!
01:09:48You give us him Patton!
01:09:51All right, fine.
01:09:52What do you want?
01:09:54You know what we want!
01:09:56Yeah!
01:09:57Yeah!
01:10:01Yeah!
01:10:03Yeah!
01:10:06Yeah!
01:10:06Yeah!
01:10:08Yeah!
01:10:12Yeah!
01:10:13That's why we're out here in a few minutes.
01:10:13If that nigger ain't out here by then, we're coming in to get him.
01:10:17Ain't that right?
01:10:21No!
01:10:22No!
01:10:23No!
01:10:24No!
01:10:26No!
01:10:27No!
01:10:28No!
01:10:29No!
01:10:31No!
01:10:34No!
01:10:38No!
01:10:38You're on our side, aren't you, Mr. Patton?
01:10:42Yes, the way I am.
01:10:44Only you figure we'll whip now.
01:10:46One minute, Patton!
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, we're a citizen's committee.
01:11:04You tell him, Carrie.
01:11:11Remember, no violence.
01:11:13There isn't any need for it.
01:11:15Don't worry, they'll see what the cause, they'll see how we take care of it.
01:11:19Come on, let's go get them!
01:11:24I wouldn't bother with that, Mr. Patton.
01:11:26I think Sheriff Parkhouse is going to be a little late.
01:11:28Sure, you come with me, my car's in the back, I'll drive you to Paragut.
01:11:31No, that's what they want us to do.
01:11:35Sure.
01:11:38Joey!
01:11:40Yeah!
01:11:42Come in, Patton.
01:11:43Come in!
01:11:47Come in!
01:11:47Come in!
01:11:47Come in!
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?
01:12:17No, I don't.
01:12:19What do you mean, no, you don't?
01:12:21I mean I didn't try to rape anyone.
01:12:24You're lying, niggas!
01:12:25Now, you be still.
01:12:26We're gonna listen to what this boy has to say for himself.
01:12:31So, you claim you're innocent, is that right?
01:12:35That's right.
01:12:36Didn't anybody ever teach you to address a white man as sir?
01:12:41Yeah!
01:12:42Yeah!
01:12:44Now let that be your first lesson.
01:12:47Got blood on your mouth, boy.
01:12:50Wipe it off.

01:16:01so
01:16:01what do you think you're going in nigger
01:16:32Hold on here a minute.
01:16:38Hello, Adam.
01:16:41Hello.
01:16:43Like I said, you never want to be too sure of anything.
01:16:46Who are you?
01:16:47The name is Griffin. Sam Griffin.
01:16:49Well, what do you want?
01:16:50Nothing now.
01:16:53Then move aside.
01:16:55We 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.
01:17:11Tell them, Mr. McDaniel.
01:17:12Tell them what you told me.
01:17:15It was a lie.
01:17:16What's that? What are you talking about?
01:17:18It was a lie.
01:17:20Everything.
01:17:21Everything I said about Joey.
01:17:23All of it.
01:17:25What 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.
01:17:32Girl, you listen here to me.
01:17:35Why 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?
01:17:42Burn, 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.
01:17:51Told her he'd kill her father.
01:17:52Burn, 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.
01:18:04I'm sorry.
01:18:06I'm so sorry.
01:18:08I didn't mean for this to happen.
01:18:10All right, honey, you go on back to the car, but you're all right.
01:18:17Ella.
01:18:23Oh, Ella.
01:18:54Right now, you good people are probably telling yourselves you were going to take this boy down to jail and
01:18:59see a little justice done.
01:19:00But that ain't the truth.
01:19:02You were going to kill this boy.
01:19:03You know it and I know it.
01:19:05You know it all the rest of your lives.
01:19:09And you.
01:19:11You're thinking everything would have been just fine if you and me hadn't had our little personal difficulties.
01:19:15That ain't the truth either.
01:19:17You began losing your grip on these people the second you got it.
01:19:20Because nobody, nobody can have the kind of power you thought you had, Mr. Kramer.
01:19:25Lies.
01:19:28Lies!
01:19:30I swear to God this man's lying to you.
01:19:43Are you all crazy?
01:19:49Tell them the truth.
01:19:50Come on, tell them the truth.
01:19:51What about your Jew wife?
01:19:53Maybe they'd like to hear about that, eh?
01:19:57Tell them about the nigger woman you kissed in the mouth.
01:19:59You did?
01:20:00I got proof.
01:20:01Proof, you hear me?
01:20:02You hear what I'm saying?
01:20:10Griffin, you don't think for a minute you're fooling these people, do you?
01:20:12Because if you do, you're wrong.
01:20:14They're too smart for you and your felt.
01:20:16Believe me, I know them.
01:20:17I know they're too smart.
01:20:20They're with me, Griffin.
01:20:22They're with me, Griffin.
01:20:23With me!
01:20:26They'll laugh at you because you're nothing.
01:20:28Nothing!
01:20:34Folks, they think they've got us scared.
01:20:36But they haven't.
01:20:38We aren't going to give up now.
01:20:40Not now.
01:20:42No, sir, not ever.
01:20:44You hear that, Griffin?
01:20:46Patton?
01:20:47You hear what I'm saying?
01:20:49You hear what I'm saying?
01:20:52Vernon, you talk to them.
01:20:54They'll listen to you, Vernon.
01:20:58Hey, Vernon.
01:21:00A meeting tonight at Palace Cafe, 7.30.
01:21:04Patton!
01:21:06You and your nigger better listen to this!
01:21:09We're going to show you you can't stop justice and right no matter what you do!
01:21:13This is just the beginning!
01:21:14Only the beginning!
01:21:16Adam Kramer?
01:21:19You and your nigger better listen to this!
01:21:55Boy, you're going to get grass stains all over those trousers you don't get up.
01:22:01Come on.
01:22:04That's better.
01:22:07I figure your work in this town is about over.
01:22:09If you hurry, you can catch the busted Farragut.
01:22:11They got trains there.
01:22:12If you'll do the light on traffic money, I'd be proud to...
01:22:16You're sure now?
01:22:19I almost forgot.
01:22:23These belong to you.
01:22:28I wouldn't want to steal from you, boy.
01:22:29There, there is no way.
01:22:31To be continued...
01:22:33Go...
01:22:35I hope you made your own...
01:22:37Go...
01:22:39Go...
01:22:40Go away!
01:22:41Ho!
01:22:42Go...
01:22:55Go!
01:22:57Go...
01:22:57Go!
01:22:59You
