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.
00:01:59Fine.
00:01:59Yeah.
00:02:00Yeah.
00:02:11Yeah.
00:02:17Yeah.
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 it, and we can carry on the devil's work, but
00:02:37it don't matter none to the Lord, because we're the ones that got to pay for it, and he showed
00:02:42us the way, people.
00:02:43He showed me, and he showed you. Praise God, and praise his words. The road to redemption leads before us.
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 will be $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.
00:03:25Go on up to a hundred and four and get it aired out, and see if Mabel's dusty, too.
00:03:30Yes, 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 work.
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?
00:04:03No.
00:04:03I sure don't.
00:04:05Neither does nobody.
00:04:06But it's the law.
00:04:08Whose law?
00:04:09We'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 tote you back?
00:04:16Oh, no.
00:04:17It's not.
00:04:17Suit yourself.
00:04:20Bombs.
00:04:21Bombs.
00:04:22Bombs.
00:04:22Bombs.
00:04:23Well, the Lord warned us we'd be swept away, didn't he?
00:04:26Right this way.
00:04:28Ah, come on, baby.
00:04:29You're fired.
00:04:30Come on.
00:04:30Sam, stop.
00:04:31You better tear my robe.
00:04:32I'll get you this.
00:04:32Oh, honey, for heaven's sake.
00:04:34Please.
00:04:35Sam, stop.
00:04:36Come on.
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.
00:04:58No, I'm going to get dressed up.
00:05:01No, I know.
00:05:02No, that ain't fair, honey.
00:05:03No.
00:05:03Bye.
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've got a new guest right down the hall.
00:05:26And he's a gentleman.
00:05:27Well, so am I.
00:05:29I've just got this terrible case of sex appeal.
00:05:30Ain't anything I can do.
00:05:32Sam.
00:05:33I'm sorry, Mrs. Landry, but it will cause you any more trouble.
00:05:36Sam, I'm going to kill you.
00:05:56Mr. Russell, I am sorry to interrupt your meditation.
00:06:08invitation, but your root beer is ready. Man, you're mean. Hi. Hi. You, uh, authorized to make
00:06:18business transactions? Sir? I give you two dollar bills. You give me a cup of coffee and 19 times
00:06:23for the telephone? All right. I'll flip you a double or nothing. Just put 10 cents on the counter.
00:06:33Boy, you're the meanest girl on the face of the earth. Be careful, mister. She's liable
00:06:38to butt your head off. Thank you very much. See you at school. Are you really the meanest
00:06:43girl on the face of the earth? That's what people tell me. Oh, they're wrong. You don't
00:06:48look mean at all. Thank you. You go to school around here? Uh-huh. I didn't know they had
00:06:57a college in Caxton. Oh, they don't. You don't go to high school, did you?
00:07:03Mm-hmm. My, my. They do grow things fast here, don't they? You know, miss, I've heard
00:07:09an awful lot about southern hospitality. The question is, does it really exist? Well, sure,
00:07:14I guess so. No, I mean, really. See, here's the thing. I've just moved into Caxton, and I'm
00:07:18anxious to meet some young people here, but I don't have any contacts. Isn't that a sad
00:07:23story? Oh, hi, Dad. I'll check you later. Late again? Sorry, Al. That's okay, Dad. How's
00:07:33it going, Tom? Oh, all right, I guess. Kind of surprised, though. Looks like the school's
00:07:39going to open without any trouble. Well, I hope so. Goodbye, Mr. Hayes. And thanks.
00:07:44Goodbye, honey. Nice having you work for me. See you later, Ted. Do you think it's all right
00:07:49for a girl my age to go out with older men? Hmm? Oh, never mind. Hi, Mom. Sorry, honey.
00:08:03Well, you could have called. I had a lovely roast. I know. I'm a terrible husband. Oh, sit
00:08:11down. I'll fix you something. What's wrong? Well, it isn't anything, actually, but I had
00:08:22a kind of funny phone call a few minutes ago, and it upset me. Was it a salesman? No. Somebody
00:08:30making a survey or something. Well? Well, he wanted to know what I thought of my daughter
00:08:39sitting in a classroom with a bunch of Negroes. What'd you say? Well, I didn't exactly know
00:08:47what to say, but, well, I told him the truth, that I didn't like it. Did he give a name?
00:08:53I don't remember. Kramer. That's his name, Adam Kramer. Makes sense, too. The best sense
00:08:59I've heard in a year. Where's the coffee? Sit down, Dad. I'll get you some. Good thing
00:09:04you get around this house. You've got to ask for it. What's the matter with you? Mad because
00:09:09you've got somebody in town with a little gumption? Afraid you're going to get showed up?
00:09:13Look, I'm tired. From what? Sitting around on your dead rump all day? Oh, Dad. It's the
00:09:20truth. Everybody knows it. River could bust loose and flood the whole damn town. What do
00:09:25you think he'd do? Write editorials. It takes work and muscles, boy, to stop a flood. And that's
00:09:31what we got on our hands. A great big black flood. You cut out that kind of talk in front,
00:09:36Ella. Well, I guess that's what happens when you get old and sick. People treat you like
00:09:44dirt, spit on you, waiting around for you to die. All right. Let's forget it. Ruth, get
00:09:52my medicine. Your husband's doing his best to give me a heart attack. What 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. She doesn't like it, but it's a law. Can't you get that
00:10:09through your thick skull? A law!
00:10:14Well, what has he got his back up about?
00:10:19Good morning.
00:10:20Good morning. How's your social work coming along? We're off to a fine start. Thank you.
00:10:25Good morning, good morning, Mother Lampers-Mire. But if you're looking just as pretty as ever
00:10:28this morning, give me a little kiss.
00:10:30Hell yeah.
00:10:30Cut that out now.
00:10:32Oh, there. Is this the gentleman you were telling us about?
00:10:33Mr. Adam Kramer. Mr. 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.
00:10:40Oh, no. No, not a bit.
00:10:42Had your breakfast yet?
00:10:42No, I haven't.
00:10:44Well, neither are we. We'll just head down to the palace. If you'd care to join us, you're
00:10:46welcome, isn't he, honey?
00:10:49Yeah, sure.
00:10:50Come on. Treats on Sam Griffin.
00:10:52You'll convince me.
00:10:58Woo-wee. Going to be another scorcher. Just down the street, you're Adam. Not much to
00:11:03look at, but the food? Terrible. Didn'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?
00:11:15Good morning, Goody. Let's ask for your orders of primers, lamb, covered with pot of soil
00:11:19and a little sumus down the side.
00:11:23All right.
00:11:25Scrambled eggs and coffee. How about you, Adam?
00:11:27Same.
00:11:27Make it three. Don't forget the pot of soil.
00:11:30Kits her every time.
00:11:33Where are you from, Adam?
00:11:34Los Angeles.
00:11:35L.A. No kidding. Well, that's Vi's hometown.
00:11:38Small world, huh?
00:11:39How about that, honey? Say, you two ought to be thick as thieves. I was in California
00:11:43once, Pomona, the fairgrounds.
00:11:44Where?
00:11:45I was pushing pens, same as I'm doing here. Made 300 bucks a day.
00:11:49I take it you're a salesman.
00:11:50Oh, that's a fancy way of putting it. Pitch man would be more like it. Say, I'm working
00:11:54a dime store over in Farragut today. Watch tomorrow and over. It's only 40 miles.
00:11:58I'd like to. Your work sounds fascinating.
00:12:00What's your line, Mr. Kramer?
00:12:04Social reform.
00:12:06Been in town long?
00:12:09Quite a while, yes. You?
00:12:10Oh, all summer. We like it here, don't we, honey?
00:12:14Sure, Sam.
00:12:15Axins are fine police. Real fine people. Something wrong, Vi?
00:12:21No, Sam. I, uh, I got a headache. I 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. No, no, no. It's all right. Don'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?
00:12:34Why, if you're friends now.
00:12:37I'll be all right, Sam.
00:12:38Okay.
00:12:42She's something, ain't she?
00:12:43Very attractive.
00:12:45Wonderful woman, Adam. Really 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. Farragut'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?
00:14:33Take me to 22 Myrtlewood Lane.
00:14:34Are you through here?
00:14:36For the moment.
00:14:57All right, things will win.
00:14:59Don't we're always...
00:15:01Beautiful 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.
00:15:12I 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.
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. D.C.
00:15:37Well, let's go over here in the shade.
00:15:40Good.
00:15:42Lovely place you have.
00:15:44Well, now, what is it you want to know?
00:15:47Well, sir?
00:15:48You 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.
00:15:55Well, that's a stupid question, young man.
00:15:57I'm a southerner.
00:15:59Sit down.
00:16:00Sit 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.
00:16:06Well, 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?
00:16:47Study with them?
00:16:48Eat with them?
00:16:49Maybe 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. 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.
00:17:26Come on, Uncle Owen.
00:17:29Here'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? That's music, man.
00:18:01I said turn it off.
00:18:02Joey.
00:18:04I'm sorry, Ma. I'm just bushed.
00:18:07Hey, you really going to make him go to the white school tomorrow?
00:18:10Well, 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.
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.
00:19:24Good morning.
00:19:25Will the children step out, please?
00:19:28Good morning.
00:19:31Good morning.
00:19:31I'm not going to bore you with a 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.
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.
00:20:21Amen.
00:20:44What did you say, Uncle Rowan?
00:20:46I said you Negroes going to cause so much niggers to get killed.
00:20:51Amen.
00:20:54Amen.
00:20:56Amen.
00:21:03God Almighty.
00:21:27Amen.
00:22:00Hey, Tom.
00:22:02Come here.
00:22:06There's your invaders.
00:22:08Not much of an army, is it?
00:22:10Amen.
00:22:14Amen.
00:22:18Amen.
00:22:20Amen.
00:22:21Amen.
00:22:22Amen.
00:22:23Amen.
00:22:24Amen.
00:22:26Amen.
00:22:28Amen.
00:22:39Amen.
00:22:40Amen.
00:22:47Amen.
00:22:48Amen.
00:22:49Amen.
00:22:49Amen.
00:22:49Amen.
00:22:49Amen.
00:22:50Amen.
00:22:51Amen.
00:22:53Amen.
00:22:57Hey, nigger! Why don't you go on hold?
00:23:00Stay out of that school, Snuggs.
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?
00:23:32THE END
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 that you all don't give a darn whether the whites mixed with the blacks
00:24:46because you didn't fight against it.
00:24:48Well, I...
00:24:54They...
00:24:55They cheated and deceived every one of you.
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
00:25:21now
00:25:27with the Patrick Henry Society
00:25:30which is an organization
00:25:32dedicated to giving
00:25:34the people the truth
00:25:36what I'm going to tell you
00:25:38is going to make your blood boil
00:25:42the way this country is going to go
00:25:46depends entirely
00:25:48and wholly
00:25:50and completely
00:25:51on you
00:26:01now you all know
00:26:15but 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 who hates America
00:26:32and doesn't make any bones about it either
00:26:37well the commies didn't waste a second
00:26:39they knew
00:26:40they knew
00:26:41only 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 all the millions of dollars
00:26:53the Jews could get for 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 to have
00:27:10leftist 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 to the
00:27:22Quill and Pen Society
00:27:23which receives its 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 whether
00:27:57we're going to 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 to know
00:28:05because the Patrick Henry Society
00:28:07has studied the whole thing
00:28:09the real problem
00:28:10whether you like it or not
00:28:12is whether you're going to
00:28:13sit back
00:28:16and let desegregation
00:28:17spread throughout
00:28:18the entire south
00:28:19and it's an indisputable fact
00:28:21that there could be
00:28:22no other result
00:28:23the Negroes will 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 in Chicago
00:28:36and New York already
00:28:37like it's not a 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 ten
00:28:53enter your school
00:28:54did you
00:29:01now let me ask you
00:29:04do you people want
00:29:06niggers taking over
00:29:06no

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, you're not going anywhere.
00:31:16What's the trouble?
00:31:16No trouble, you're looking for trouble.
00:31:17No, look, no, 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, we haven't done anything.
00:31:22Who gives you 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, I can't even on our street.
00:31:28You don't know all that stuff.
00:31:29What do you mean, you folks?
00:31:29We haven't done anything.
00:31:30You're turning up our streets.
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, we're gone.
00:31:46That's what you say.
00:31:47I figure you're lying, nigga.
00:31:49I don't lie, I don't know about you.
00:31:50All right.
00:31:53Talk back to me, nigga.
00:31:55Come on, come on.
00:31:57Come on.
00:31:58Come on.
00:31:58Kill yourself.
00:31:59One step.
00:32:00One move.
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.
00:32:26If the rest of you people don't want to spend this night in jail, you get out of here now.
00:32:29In 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?
00:32:43The best kind.
00:32:45Attacking 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.
00:33:03Who did this here terrorizer?
00:33:08Do you want me to arrest everybody, Tom?
00:33:16All right, it'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 your way of business.
00:33:48You do run ads, don't you?
00:33:49They meet our standards.
00:33:52You're still the crankiest man of a morning I ever did see.
00:33:55No, sir.
00:34:11You feel that way about it, sir.
00:34:13Because you and I are fighting...
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.
00:34:36Well, it 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.
00:34:44Oh, 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
00:34:53our 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.
00:35:08All right.
00:35:10Do 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.
00:35:27I 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.
00:35:40Doggone.
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.
00:36:02Doggone it.
00:36:04Doggone it.
00:36:06Doggone it.
00:36:13Doggone it.
00:36:17Doggone it.
00:36:21Doggone it.
00:36:22Doggone it.
00:36:24Doggone it.
00:36:25Doggone it.
00:36:27Doggone it.
00:36:30Doggone it.
00:36:30Doggone it.
00:36:32Doggone it.

00:37:44Oh, my God.
00:38:37Who is it?
00:38:39Adam Kramer, your neighbor.
00:38:45A cup of coffee, a little conversation, maybe.
00:38:49Just a minute.
00:38:54Hi.
00:38:56Hello.
00:38:57Sam said I should drop in on you.
00:38:59Oh?
00:39:00He said he was spending the night in Farragut.
00:39:02I thought maybe...
00:39:05Well, if not, I'll go on back to my room.
00:39:08I think that'd be a pretty good idea.
00:39:10Is that what you want?
00:39:16Well, look, I'm getting ready for bed.
00:39:18I...
00:39:1810.15?
00:39:19I thought you were a night out.
00:39:21Come on, please.
00:39:22Oh, come on.
00:39:24Sam 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.
00:39:32Unkind.
00:39:32Definitely unkind.
00:39:34Just want a little old cup of coffee.
00:39:39Okay.
00:39:50Why did you say that?
00:39:51Say what?
00:39:55That I wasn't a friend.
00:39:58I don't know.
00:39:59Look, I...
00:40:00I'm tired.
00:40:01It's hot.
00:40:01I...
00:40:01I told you.
00:40:03The way you act.
00:40:04You're not afraid of me, are you?
00:40:07No.
00:40:09I don't have to bite my head out.
00:40:17How do you stand it, anyway?
00:40:19I don't know what you're talking about.
00:40:21Well, you know, this town.
00:40:23I should think you'd get awfully lonely, especially with Sam leaving you half the time.
00:40:32Stand it just fine, Mr. Kramer.
00:40:34You were born with that chip on your shoulder, did somebody put it there?
00:40:39Look, if you don't like my personality, you don't have to subject yourself to it.
00:40:42What are you after, anyway?
00:40:45A cup of coffee.
00:40:50Afterwards, you'll have to go.
00:41:18Oh, thank you.
00:41:21Mr. Kramer, I didn't know you were a religious man.
00:41:25You have to admit, it's dramatic.
00:41:28So is a lynching.
00:41:30That's old-fashioned.
00:41:32Otherwise, you wouldn't mind?
00:41:35Mrs. Griffin, that's a terrible thing to say.
00:41:38These people like me.
00:41:41I'm here to save lives, not to take them.
00:41:44I'm the Empress of China.
00:41:51I know what you're doing here, but why?
00:41:55Who can say, great times call forth great men?
00:42:01You're a great man?
00:42:03Not yet.
00:42:09You don't want to talk politics, do you?
00:42:13I've already told you all you need to know about me.
00:42:17You despise me, but you're attracted to me, isn't that right?
00:42:22Isn't it?
00:42:24Isn't it?
00:42:28If you don't mind, I'm going to take off my coat.
00:42:30It's getting awfully hot in here.
00:42:34Aren't you hot?
00:42:38I hope you know these bulbs are giving off a lot of heat.
00:42:42Look at the difference.
00:42:45See?
00:42:49We're down five degrees, I'll bet.
00:42:54You're not very comfortable, are you?
00:43:00It does get lonely for you, doesn't it, Vi?
00:43:03I know it does.
00:43:04I feel that way myself a lot of the times.
00:43:08I almost go crazy sometimes,
00:43:10because there isn't anybody who feels things the way I do.
00:43:15I think how wonderful it would be to meet a person like that
00:43:20and be with that person.
00:43:22Not for long.
00:43:24Just a little while.
00:43:27Just a little while.
00:43:28Adam, no.
00:43:30Adam, please.
00:43:31Please, please, please, what?
00:43:33You want me to leave?
00:43:34You want me to leave?
00:43:35Adam.
00:43:35You want me to...
00:43:38You want it, you know you want it.
00:43:52Well, that settles it.
00:43:55We're taking Ella out of school tomorrow.
00:43:59We're doing nothing of the kind.
00:44:02Well, Tom, what's got into you?
00:44:04I don't know what you're thinking anymore.
00:44:06I'm not sure I do.
00:44:09Ruth, tell me something.
00:44:11How do you feel about this question?
00:44:14Well, I'm...
00:44:15I'm not sure I know what you mean.
00:44:17About integration.
00:44:19Well, I...
00:44:20I think it's a terrible thing.
00:44:23Why?
00:44:24Why?
00:44:26Because it just isn't right, that's why.
00:44:32Tom, are you in favor of it?
00:44:39Yes.
00:44:41Well, why didn't you...
00:44:42Because I didn't know.
00:44:44I don't think I knew really till now.
00:44:51He's made us face ourselves.
00:44:53Well, what are you going to do?
00:44:56I don't know.
00:45:04I'm not sure of anything.
00:45:06Except this is right.
00:45:09And we've got to face up to it.
00:45:21Come on, come on.
00:45:22Yeah.
00:45:25Yeah.
00:45:25Come on, come on.
00:45:49I...
00:46:01What'd you pull him in for, Rudy?
00:46:03He smarted off at him and dared him to take him to jail.
00:46:06Yeah, but you know he didn't have anything to do with that bombing.
00:46:10Maybe you know.
00:46:11I don't.
00:46:16How are you, Vern?
00:46:18I might as well tell you right off the bat, I don't cotton any of this.
00:46:21I strung along with you because I figured you were smart.
00:46:23But smart people don't end up here.
00:46:24Oh, I'm not ending up here, Vern.
00:46:26This is just the beginning.
00:46:30Never underestimate the value of a jail sentence.
00:46:33Remember Socrates, Lenin, Hitler.
00:46:38The bail is $10,000.
00:46:39What if I don't put up the money?
00:46:42Get it, Vern.
00:46:43I don't want your money yet.
00:46:46Haven't I told you that?
00:46:49Where are you going to get it?
00:47:03We're going to get it.
00:47:09Thank you very much.
00:47:10I want to thank the Reverend Neeson, Mr. Carey, Mr. Dongan, for what they've done for me.
00:47:15Our friend Vern Shipman offered to get me out of jail.
00:47:18I told him no.
00:47:21I told him, looky here, the people will see to it.
00:47:30Now, listen, he's a good man, but he didn't believe me.
00:47:33I want to know I'm mighty glad to show him I was right.
00:47:37He knows for sure now the people of Caxton won't stand still for no injustice.
00:47:42Yeah!
00:47:49What the sheriff thought was that I was responsible for the dynamiting up in the Badlands.
00:47:54Why, I could not believe he was serious.
00:47:56I said to him, Sheriff, I said, whoever planted that bomb, it wasn't nobody in the Patrick Henry society.
00:48:04We got brains enough to know that killing a nigger preacher and blowing up a church can do us nothing
00:48:09but harm.
00:48:11Throwing a scare into the niggers is good.
00:48:13But we got to be very, very careful.
00:48:18Right?
00:48:19Yeah, that's right!
00:48:20Now, I ain't condemning anybody.
00:48:24Whoever planted that bomb was doing what he thought was right.
00:48:29But he was wrong.
00:48:33I hope you all see that now and go on acting according to the orders of the society.
00:48:38Well, I don't know anything about that.
00:48:41But I know one thing.
00:48:42Ain't gonna be one solitary nigger gonna have enough guts to step into our school now.
00:48:47It's all over.
00:48:49Hey!
00:49:14Hello, Adam.
00:49:17Say,
00:49:17Sam, how are things?
00:49:20Okay, I guess.
00:49:21Good.
00:49:23How did you do in Farragut?
00:49:25Sell many, what is it, pens?
00:49:29Well, I'm glad to hear it.
00:49:33Is there something you want to see me about, Sam?
00:49:34I'll tell you the truth, I'm kind of pooped.
00:49:36I thought maybe...
00:49:36Look, Adam, I know this ain't none of your business and I got no right bothering you with it.
00:49:39But I got to talk to somebody.
00:49:40I just got to.
00:49:41I'll go crazy if I don't.
00:49:42What is it, Sam?
00:49:43What's the matter?
00:49:44She's gone.
00:49:46Who?
00:49:46Bye, she's gone.
00:49:47Let me run out.
00:49:49What happened?
00:49:50I don't know.
00:49:52I got back from Farragut about two o'clock.
00:49:55I didn't have a present for her.
00:49:57I got up to the room.
00:49:58She was gone.
00:49:58Just a note saying she'd love me but was no good for me.
00:50:01I should forget her.
00:50:02Oh, I'm really very, very sorry.
00:50:05Do you have any idea why she'd do a thing like that?
00:50:08Yeah, I think maybe I can guess part of the reason.
00:50:11Oh, I never told anyone this, but I consider you a friend, Adam.
00:50:18Before I met Vi, she, well, she knew a lot of men.
00:50:21It was like a disease with her.
00:50:22Doctors got a name for it, but they can't cure it alone.
00:50:25When I met Vi, I fell in love with her.
00:50:27I knew she was a good woman.
00:50:28I thought maybe I could help her.
00:50:30Five years, we've been happy.
00:50:32Now this, I figure she got in some trouble.
00:50:37What sort of trouble?
00:50:38Man trouble.
00:50:40Like if some fella come along, caught her a weak moment, she...
00:50:44What do you think, Adam?
00:50:45You think that could be it?
00:50:48Well, it's possible, I guess, but I...
00:50:50I just can't bring myself to believe it.
00:50:52If Mrs. Griffin, she doesn't seem the type, you know what I mean?
00:50:54It was a man.
00:50:56But who?
00:50:57You!
00:51:02Oh, sir.
00:51:04Don't bother thinking up a lot of lies.
00:51:06I know what happened.
00:51:06This is an old hotel.
00:51:07The walls are thin.
00:51:08Mrs. Lambert heard you.
00:51:09I wasn't going to deny it, sir.
00:51:13The reason I didn't tell you before was...
00:51:16Was because I didn't want to hurt you any more than you've been hurt already.
00:51:18Really, honest.
00:51:18That's the truth.
00:51:21Blame me if you want to, but...
00:51:22Sam, I'm going to love it with you.
00:51:25It was a lot of my fault.
00:51:26Now, sure, I won't pretend that it wasn't.
00:51:27I went to your room just to say goodnight.
00:51:30And we were talking, you know, just talking.
00:51:32And I don't know.
00:51:33Suddenly, everything started to go wrong.
00:51:35Can you understand?
00:51:37I understand.
00:51:38So, I slept by there.
00:51:39Okay, I admit it.
00:51:41But you've got to know this.
00:51:43No matter how much you blame me.
00:51:45And hate me.
00:51:45And want to shoot me.
00:51:48It wasn't all my fault.
00:51:50And there's another thing.
00:51:52Mrs. Griffin said I wasn't the first.
00:51:54I mean, since you've been married.
00:51:55She's slept with plenty of others.
00:51:57And she said she knew it didn't matter because...
00:51:58Because you'd never catch on.
00:52:00Sam, I'm forcing myself to tell you this.
00:52:02It's the truth.
00:52:06I'm telling you the truth.
00:52:08I'm not lying.
00:52:11Oh, you missed your calling, boy.
00:52:13You made a fine pitch, man.
00:52:14You know just the right way to work on people's weak spots.
00:52:17But you know something?
00:52:18I'm going to find her and I'm going to get her back.
00:52:21And when I do, we'll be closer than ever.
00:52:23So in a way, you've really done us a big favor, friend.
00:52:35You know something?
00:52:37We're in the same line, you and me.
00:52:39We're both selling something.
00:52:41But I've been at it long.
00:52:42I can see where you're making mistakes.
00:52:44And right now, those mistakes are beginning to pile up on you.
00:52:47And a little while, they're going to smother you.
00:52:50Get out of here.
00:52:51I've been studying your pitch.
00:52:53It's not bad.
00:52:53You've got technique.
00:52:54But you know what's wrong?
00:52:56You're too clever, Adam.
00:52:57You've got no room in your head for intelligence.
00:53:00Because if you were intelligent, you'd be able to see that you started something you can't control.
00:53:04You think you're the boss now?
00:53:05Wake up, boy.
00:53:06That mob's the boss.
00:53:08What do you know, your big boob?
00:53:11Did you tell them to blow up the church?
00:53:29I'm sick of listening to your rape.
00:53:31Now, get out of here before I pull the trigger.
00:53:35Oh, people are wonderful.
00:53:38You couldn't pull that trigger if your life depended on it.
00:53:42Because deep down inside, you're gutless, Adam.
00:53:45You know you're gutless.
00:53:46That's why you're doing this, to prove to yourself that you're not.
00:53:51I'll give you five.
00:53:53If you're not here by then, I'll pull the trigger.
00:53:59One, two, three, four.
00:54:11Five.
00:54:13Five.
00:54:13See what I mean, boy?
00:54:18Of course, you never want to be too sure of anything, either.
00:54:21Rule of the trade.
00:54:28Get away from me.
00:54:34Get away from me.
00:54:36No, boy.
00:54:37I don't think I'll do that.
00:54:39I think I'll stick around for a while.
00:54:40Well, you won't see me lightly, but I'll be here.
00:54:43I always did like fireworks.
00:55:16Miss Green?
00:55:17That's right.
00:55:18My name is McDaniel.
00:55:20I think we met once.
00:55:21I'm the editor of the newspaper.
00:55:22You come here to go, mister.
00:55:24Get on back to town.
00:55:25Put it in the paper.
00:55:26Us niggas give up.
00:55:27You won't have to kill any more of us.
00:55:28Bob.
00:55:28Mr. Green, I know you have no reason to trust me,
00:55:32and I have no right to expect you to.
00:55:34But I'm on your side.
00:55:35Yeah.
00:55:36Please.
00:55:37Please believe me.
00:55:39I understand how you feel.
00:55:40I know it's hard.
00:55:42And I can't promise you that nobody else will get hurt.
00:55:44Maybe they will.
00:55:45I don't know.
00:55:46But you mustn't give up now.
00:55:49Your boy here and the other children have got to go to school this morning.
00:55:52It means everything.
00:55:53That's easy to say, but what have you got to lose, right, man?
00:55:57My job, my home, maybe my family.
00:56:01Is that enough for you?
00:56:05Joy, don't try to stop me, Pop.
00:56:07You know he's right, and so do I.
00:56:09We can't give up now.
00:56:12We'd better hurry.
00:57:43And we want an explanation.
00:57:45Now we're waiting.
00:57:47Please, get out of my way.
00:57:50Hold it.
00:57:52What are you?
00:57:53Like the man said, an explanation.
00:57:56Yeah, you tell us, McDaniel.
00:57:57How come you walked that bunch of black niggers to our white school?
00:58:00I don't see anything I'd do as any business of yours.
00:58:03We figured you was against all this.
00:58:05When we seen you taking them jigs to school,
00:58:07we got kind of a surprise, see?
00:58:09That's why we figure you ought to do some talking.
00:58:11Yeah, what have you got to say for yourself now?
00:58:14Which one of them niggers paid you off?
00:58:17It ain't polite not to answer a civil question.
00:58:20Ebner here wants to know who paid you to betray your people.
00:58:23Yeah, let's teach him a lesson now.
00:58:31Why don't you get 15 or 20 more people, Carrie?
00:58:34Then you'll feel really safe.
00:58:36Teach him, Bart.
00:58:37You shut your mouth, nigga lover.
00:58:38You're awful good with the questions.
00:58:40How are you with the answers?
00:58:41Where were you when that preacher was killed, Carrie?
00:58:43Shut up.
00:58:43Are you going to get the same thing?
00:58:44Where were you?
00:58:45I'll shoot you.
00:58:47Let's teach him!
00:58:49How I feel!
00:58:51Kill him!
00:58:52Kill him!
00:58:53Kill him!
00:58:54Kill him!
00:58:54Kill him!
00:58:56Kill him!
00:58:56Kill him!
00:58:57Kill him!
00:58:58Kill him!
00:58:59Kill him!
00:59:00Kill him!
00:59:01Kill him!
00:59:08I'm sorry, honey.
00:59:11I guess I just wasn't cut out to be a hero.
00:59:18Am I gonna lose the eye?
00:59:23No, don't go get them yet.
00:59:27I want to know.
00:59:33You've already lost it, Tom.
00:59:40They did a pretty good job, didn't they?
00:59:45Tom!
00:59:50Father!
00:59:52I'm all right.
00:59:54It's all right.
00:59:57You better go home, honey. It's late.
01:00:03We mustn't upset you, Father.
01:00:05He's gonna be all right.
01:00:10I'll be long in a little while.
01:00:18I'm sorry, honey.
01:00:21Don't be.
01:00:23I'm not.
01:00:25Not in the least.
01:00:29It's the best thing you've ever done, and I'm proud of you.
01:00:34I wish I could tell you that I know why you did what you did,
01:00:38why you feel the way you do, but I can't lie to you.
01:00:42I don't believe in integration.
01:00:46But I believe in you.
01:00:51That you're willing to risk everything,
01:00:53even your own life for it.
01:00:55then I know it must be.
01:01:00I'm going to try to understand.
01:01:02I'm going to try very hard, darling.
01:01:05I'm going to try very hard, darling.
01:01:06I only ask you to give me a little time.
01:01:14Tell me it's not.
01:01:19It never is.
01:01:24Wait.
01:01:25Maybe you'd better get the doctor now.
01:01:35Well, sir, you know, that kind of injury,
01:01:37it always kind of slows the place.
01:01:39Well, how is he?
01:01:40I think I'm just about to...
01:01:42Damn it, you gone deaf to ask you a question.
01:01:46Well?
01:01:48He has four broken ribs.
01:01:50And what?
01:01:53Internal injuries, and he lost his eye.
01:01:56Well, he was lucky.
01:01:58Lucky?
01:01:58Yes, in my day,
01:01:59he'd have strung a man up for doing what he done.
01:02:01And I'd have been on the end of the rope, too.
01:02:04What's the matter with him, anyhow?
01:02:05How am I going to face my friends?
01:02:07I never was so embarrassed in my life.
01:02:09Oh, shut your filthy, stinking mouth!
01:02:22If you're interested in saving your father's life,
01:02:24you better listen and listen carefully.
01:02:27I'm going to have to say some things I don't want to say.
01:02:32The men who beat up Mr. McDaniel this morning are desperate.
01:02:36You understand?
01:02:37Desperate.
01:02:38You saw what they did.
01:02:39Now, the reason for that is not a name.
01:02:43Never mind the reason.
01:02:46Just understand this.
01:02:47They'll kill your father if we don't do something.
01:02:50They'll go right into that hospital.
01:02:52And there'll be so many of them.
01:02:54The sheriff won't know what to do.
01:02:56They'll blow his head off.
01:03:00So listen carefully.
01:03:05If you want to save your father's life,
01:03:09this is what you're going to have to do.
01:03:16Man, the world in the shape it is today.
01:03:18She wants us to study frauds.
01:03:19Man, I don't know.
01:03:20Oh, you're just afraid to touch them, that's all.
01:03:27I don't know about you, but...
01:03:30I can't tell them apart.
01:03:43Excuse me.
01:03:44Are you Joey Green?
01:03:45That's right.
01:03:47Well, I'm Ella McDaniel.
01:03:49Tom McDaniel's daughter?
01:03:51Oh, I heard about what happened yesterday.
01:03:54I hope he's better.
01:03:55Is he?
01:03:57Yes, he's a lot better.
01:03:59I wish you'd thank him for us, ma'am.
01:04:01I wish you'd thank him for us, ma'am.
01:04:05I know.
01:04:07Well, better get going.
01:04:09The bell's about to ring.
01:04:12Oh, wait a second.
01:04:16I wonder if you'd do me a favor.
01:04:17Sure, if I can.
01:04:19Well, it isn't much.
01:04:21Well, you see, I'm working down the storage room,
01:04:23and I've got to get some things,
01:04:24and I could use a little help.
01:04:27Well, I'll have to ask you some...
01:04:31I'll have to ask you some things.
01:04:36Well, okay.
01:04:38Well, come on.
01:04:43Let's go.
01:04:49Come on.
01:04:52Wait here a second until I put the light on.
01:04:54Okay.
01:05:07All right.
01:05:14Over here.
01:05:22Up here. It's these two boxes, Alba.
01:05:42Okay.
01:05:44Miss McDaniel?
01:05:54Yeah, he does it.
01:06:05Danny, we don't know what you're talking about. Tell us. What happened?
01:06:09Nigga, try to rape a white girl.
01:06:11Nigga, you know the one they call Joe Green? Happened 20 minutes ago.
01:06:14Tell him a jam. You know her. The fellow who's in the hospital's daughter.
01:06:17I knew it would happen.
01:06:19Where is that fellow?
01:06:21Principal's office. They got him locked up there.
01:06:23Well, this is precisely what we've been afraid of, isn't it?
01:06:26Are we going to do something about it?
01:06:29All right. Go and get every member of the society.
01:06:32Come to meet here as quickly as they can. Right now.
01:06:37Tell them what happened at the school and they'll come.
01:06:40They'll come.
01:06:42Danny, you go on back. Round up as many kids as you can.
01:06:46Buck ahead. Guaranteed.
01:06:50This better work.
01:06:52It will.
01:06:54You can keep your mouth shut if you don't start thinking on your own anymore.
01:06:57That McDaniel's going to talk. I know it.
01:06:59Probably so after what you did to him, you idiot.
01:07:02What are you going to do?
01:07:04End this thing.
01:07:05Half.
01:07:07That's the last question I want to hear from you.
01:07:10From now on, I'll do all the thinking. Understood?
01:07:12Understood?
01:07:13Now get out of here and get up some people fast.
01:07:22Hello, Vern.
01:07:24Adam.
01:07:27I've got some news for you.
01:07:30Calmly, Ella.
01:07:32Tell us once again exactly what happened.
01:07:35I know it's hard for you to talk.
01:07:43Ella, please.
01:07:44I told you.
01:07:46Ella, why did you want those pads at that particular time?
01:07:50Because we were out.
01:07:51I understand that, but why didn't you have Miss Siegfried get one of the boys to do it for?
01:07:58Excuse now if you don't want me.
01:08:01Very well, Miss Siegfried.
01:08:02You're excused.
01:08:04Wait a minute.
01:08:08Ella, is there any more you want to take?
01:08:16Do you want me to call her at the hospital?
01:08:34Do you want me to call her at the hospital?
01:08:36But Tom...
01:08:40We both know Joey Green is too smart to do anything so stupid.
01:08:44Ella is lying!
01:09:11Hello, Rudy.
01:09:13Rudy, this is Harley Patton.
01:09:14Now listen carefully.
01:09:15I want you to get as many men together as you can to get over the school right away.
01:09:18We're going to trouble with one of the students.
01:09:20Yes, Rudy, one of the colored students.
01:09:22Hurry!
01:09:23Rudy, we've got a mob outside.
01:09:31Lock the door.
01:09:33And don't be frightened.
01:09:34I just talked to Sheriff Parkhouse.
01:09:35He'll be here in a minute.
01:09:36There's nothing to worry about.
01:09:38I didn't do it, Mr. Patton.
01:09:40I know you didn't, Joey.
01:09:42You give us him, Patton.
01:09:46What do you want?
01:09:48You know what we want!
01:09:50Yeah!
01:09:51I want the nigger to rape the white guy in the school!
01:09:55Help me!
01:09:55We want you to do this!
01:09:57Come on!
01:09:58We're going to be in justice!
01:10:06Exactly five minutes.
01:10:07If that nigger ain't out here by then, we're coming in to get him.
01:10:11Isn't that right?
01:10:20Joey, how would you explain it?
01:10:22I think somebody must have put her up to me.
01:10:25It's the only thing I can think.
01:10:28Adam Kramer.
01:10:32You're on our side, aren't you, Mr. Patton?
01:10:36Yes, Joey, I am.
01:10:38Only you figure we'll whip now.
01:10:40One minute, Patton!
01:10:43Remember, no violence.
01:10:45We gave Sheriff Parkhouse our promise to bring him to jail.
01:10:48We're not a mob.
01:10:48We're a citizen's committee.
01:10:57You tell him, Carrie.
01:11:05Remember, no violence.
01:11:07There isn't any need for it.
01:11:09Don't worry.
01:11:10They'll see what the cause is.
01:11:12See how we take care of it.
01:11:13Come on!
01:11:14Let's go get that!
01:11:18I wouldn't bother with that, Mr. Patton.
01:11:20I think Sheriff Parkhouse is going to be a little late.
01:11:22Joey, you come with me.
01:11:23My car's in the back.
01:11:24I'll drive you to Paragot.
01:11:25No, that's what they want.
01:11:29Joey.
01:11:33Joey!
01:11:34Joey!
01:11:36Come on!
01:11:37Come on!
01:11:38Come on!
01:11:56Did you people want to talk to me?
01:12:04You're Joseph Green?
01:12:06That's right.
01:12:07You admit you tried to rape one of our white girls today?
01:12:11No, I don't.
01:12:12What do you mean, no, you don't?
01:12:15I mean I didn't try to rape anyone.
01:12:18You're lying, idiot!
01:12:19Now, you be still.
01:12:20We're going to listen to what this boy has to say for himself.
01:12:25So, you claim you're innocent.
01:12:27Is that right?
01:12:29That's right.
01:12:30Didn't anybody ever teach you to address a white man as sir?
01:12:38Now, let that be your first lesson.
01:12:41Got blood on your mouth, boy.
01:12:44Wipe it off.
01:12:47What do you say?
01:12:51Thank you what?
01:12:54Thank you, sir.
01:13:00Now, I'm going to ask you just one more time, boy.
01:13:05And I want you to think before you answer.
01:13:08You think real hard.
01:13:12Because if you tell us the truth, you've got nothing to be afraid of.
01:13:15But if you lie to us,
01:13:18you're going to be in more trouble than you ever dreamed of.
01:13:29Were you in that basement?
01:13:32I was in the basement.
01:13:33With a white girl.
01:13:36Yes, sir.
01:13:39I think we're going to take him to jail now.
01:13:43Oh.
01:13:45You were alone
01:13:47with a white girl
01:13:48in the basement of the school.
01:13:51But you didn't try to do anything.
01:13:54Is that what you're saying?
01:13:56Is that what you expect us to believe, nigger?
01:13:59Well, speak up!
01:14:04Here comes a nigger over now.
01:14:06There's a Palestine, India.
01:14:07There's a nigger in Egypt.
01:14:12Only a coward would hit a defenseless bullet.
01:14:15Is that what you're calling me, Patton?
01:14:17Yes, that's exactly what I'm calling you.
01:14:19You're a miserable, yellow coward, Mr. Shipman.
01:14:22Just like every cheap bully in the world.
01:14:25And that goes for you too, Mr. Adam Kramer.
01:14:27For every one of you here.
01:14:29Now, do I make myself perfectly clear?
01:14:38The remain of my office
01:14:39until the Farragut police arrive.
01:14:41If you want to avoid a jail sentence,
01:14:42I would advise all of you people
01:14:43to leave at once.
01:14:50You admit it.
01:14:53That's too bad.
01:14:54You give us no choice.
01:15:00You have to keep going.
01:15:01Keep going with it, nigger.
01:15:02You're a jailer!
01:15:04You're a jailer!
01:15:05You're a jailer!
01:15:06You're a jailer!
01:15:11You're a jailer!
01:15:16You're a jailer!
01:15:25You're a jailer!
01:15:32THE END
01:16:12THE END
01:16:32Hello Adam
01:16:35Ella
01:16:37Like I said, you never want to be too sure of anything
01:16:39Who are you?
01:16:41The name is Griffin, Sam Griffin
01:16:42Well, what do you want?
01:16:44Nothing now
01:16:47Then move aside
01:16:49We've got important business to attend to
01:16:52What kind of business, Mr. Shipman?
01:16:54You folks aiming to do something to this boy?
01:16:56Look, Griffin, I don't know who you think you are
01:16:58And I don't know why you brought this girl here
01:17:00Because if you do, I think maybe there's something you ought to hear
01:17:02It just might affect this business you're on
01:17:05Tell them, Mr. McDaniel
01:17:06Tell them what you told me
01:17:09It was a lie
01:17:10What's that? What are you talking about?
01:17:12It was a lie
01:17:14Everything
01:17:15Everything I said about Joey
01:17:17All of it
01:17:19What the devil do you mean?
01:17:20She means her father told her to cover up for the knicker
01:17:22That's what she's doing
01:17:22Hell yes, that's it
01:17:24We're wasting time
01:17:26Girl
01:17:27You listen here to me
01:17:29Why would a girl go ahead and tell a story like that if it wasn't the truth?
01:17:32The fact is she was put up to it by our friend, Mr. Kramer here
01:17:35Ain't that right, Adam?
01:17:36Burn, this guy is crazy
01:17:37Shut up!
01:17:38You go on
01:17:39Your boy was getting desperate, Mr. Shipman
01:17:41He was on the verge of losing everything he'd built up
01:17:43So he threatened the girl
01:17:44Told her he'd kill her father
01:17:46Burn, don't listen to him
01:17:47This man is crazy, I tell you
01:17:49Is that right, girl?
01:17:51He promised me there wouldn't be any trouble
01:17:53He said nothing would happen to the boy
01:17:56He might be expelled
01:17:58I'm sorry
01:18:00I'm so sorry
01:18:01I didn't mean for this to happen
01:18:04All right, honey
01:18:05You go on back to the car, but you're all right
01:18:11Ella
01:18:17Oh, Ella
01:18:23You go on back to the car, but you're all right
01:18:27You go on back to the car, but you're all right
01:18:30You go on back to the car, and you're all right
01:18:31You go on back to the car, and you're all right
01:18:32You go on back to the car, and you're all right
01:18:34You go on back to the car, and you're all right
01:18:35You go on back to the car, and you're all right
01:18:35You go on back to the car, and you're all right
01:18:36You go on back to the car, and you're all right
01:18:36You go on back to the car, and you're all right
01:18:38You go on back to the car, and you're all right
01:18:40You go on back to the car, and you're all right
01:18:41You go on back to the car, and you're all right
01:18:44You go on back to the car, and you're all right
01:18:48Right now, you good people are probably telling yourselves
01:18:51you were going to take this boy down to jail
01:18:53and see a little justice done.
01:18:54But that ain't the truth.
01:18:56You were going to kill this boy.
01:18:57You know it, and I know it.
01:18:59You know it all the rest of your lives.
01:19:03And you.
01:19:05You're thinking everything would have been just fine
01:19:07if you and me hadn't had our little personal difficulties.
01:19:09That ain't the truth, either.
01:19:11You began losing your grip on these people the second you got it.
01:19:13Because nobody, nobody can have the kind of power
01:19:15you thought you had Mr. Kramer.
01:19:19Lies.
01:19:22Lies!
01:19:24I swear to God, this man's lying to you!
01:19:37Are you all crazy?
01:19:43Tell them the truth. Come on, tell them the truth.
01:19:45What about your Jew wife?
01:19:47Maybe they'd like to hear about that, eh?
01:19:51Tell them about the nigger woman you kissed in the mouth.
01:19:53You did!
01:19:53I got proof!
01:19:55Proof! You hear me?
01:19:56You hear what I'm saying?
01:20:04Griffin, you don't think for a minute
01:20:05you're fooling these people, do you?
01:20:06Because if you do, you're wrong.
01:20:08They're too smart for you and your filth.
01:20:10Believe me, I know them.
01:20:11I know they're too smart.
01:20:14They're with me, Griffin.
01:20:16They're with me, Griffin!
01:20:17With me!
01:20:20They'll laugh at you because you're nothing.
01:20:22Nothing!
01:20:28Folks!
01:20:29They think they've got us scared,
01:20:30but they haven't.
01:20:32We aren't going to give up now.
01:20:34Not now!
01:20:36No, sir, not ever.
01:20:38You hear that, Griffin?
01:20:40Patton!
01:20:41You hear what I'm saying?
01:20:43You hear what I'm saying?
01:20:46You hear what I'm saying?
01:20:47Vernon, you talk to them.
01:20:48They'll listen to you, Vernon.
01:20:52Hey, Vernon.
01:20:54I'm eating tonight at Pals Cafe, 7.30.
01:20:58Patton!
01:21:00You and your nigger better listen to this!
01:21:03We're going to show you you can't stop
01:21:04justice and right no matter what you do!
01:21:07This is just the beginning!
01:21:08Only the beginning!
01:21:10Adam Kramer.
01:21:23Bye!
01:21:24Momento!
01:21:25Bye!
01:21:49Boy, you're going to get grass stains all over those trousers you don't get up.
01:21:55Come on.
01:21:58That's better.
01:22:01I figure your work in this town is about over.
01:22:03If you hurry, you can catch the bus to Farragut. They've got trains there.
01:22:06If you're a little late on traveling money, I'd be proud to...
01:22:10You're sure now?
01:22:13Oh, I almost forgot.
01:22:18These belong to you.
01:22:22I wouldn't want to steal from you, boy.
01:22:41I'm sorry.
