00:22:00Hey Tom, come here.
00:22:03♪
00:22:07There's your invaders.
00:22:09Not much of an army, is it?
00:22:12♪
00:22:17♪

00:22:27♪

00:22:37♪
00:22:42♪
00:22:47♪
00:22:52♪
00:22:57Hey nigger, why don't you go on home?
00:23:00The head of that school smokes.
00:23:11This is a white school for white people.
00:23:14Yeah, you dirty lousy coon.
00:23:21What's the trouble here?
00:23:22Well, just what do you think?
00:23:30♪
00:23:35♪
00:23:40♪
00:23:45♪
00:23:50♪
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's going to see and feel.
00:24:13This town I'm talking about. Caxton!
00:24:15Yeah!
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. Nobody turned them out.
00:24:37And you know what they're saying that means?
00:24:40They're saying that you all don't give a darn
00:24:44whether the whites mix with the blacks because you didn't fight against it.
00:24:49Well, I say, how can somebody fight what he doesn't see?
00:24:54They've kept the facts away from you.
00:24:57They've cheated and deceived every one of you.
00:25:02They've filled your heads with filthy lies
00:25:06and kept you in the dark
00:25:09so that when you finally do wake up,
00:25:13why, we're sorry, but it's just too late.
00:25:17Yee-haw!
00:25:20All right.
00:25:24Now, I'm associated with the Patrick Henry Society,
00:25:31which is an organization dedicated to giving the people the truth.
00:25:37What I'm going to tell you is going to make your blood boil
00:25:41because I'm going to show you that the way this country is going to go
00:25:46depends entirely and wholly and completely on you.
00:25:53Are you safe?
00:25:54Yee-haw!
00:26:02Now, you all know that there was peace and quiet in the South
00:26:11before the NAACP started stirring up trouble.
00:26:16But what you don't know
00:26:18is that this so-called advancement of colored people
00:26:23is now and has always been
00:26:28nothing but a communist front
00:26:30headed by a Jew who hates America
00:26:33and doesn't make any bones about it either.
00:26:37Well, the commies didn't waste a second.
00:26:40They knew only too well, friends,
00:26:43that the quickest way to cripple a country is to mongrelize it.
00:26:50So they poured all the millions of dollars the Jews could get for them
00:26:54into this one thing, desegregation.
00:26:59They went to the courts.
00:27:02Now, Judge Silver, who is a Jew
00:27:08and is known to have leftist leanings
00:27:12who says so?
00:27:15The record says so. Look it up.
00:27:18Abraham Silver, for one thing, belongs to the Quillen Pen Society
00:27:24which receives its funds indirectly from Moscow.
00:27:29So what did the judge do?
00:27:32Went right ahead and ordered integration for the Caxton High School.
00:27:37Your mayor and the governor could have stopped it,
00:27:41but they didn't have the guts.
00:27:48All right.
00:27:52Now, you may think
00:27:54the problem is simply whether we're going to allow
00:27:57ten Negroes to go to our schools.
00:28:00That's only a small part.
00:28:02I'm in a position to know
00:28:03because the Patrick Henry Society has studied the whole thing.
00:28:08The real problem, whether you like it or not,
00:28:11is whether you're going to sit back
00:28:14and let desegregation spread throughout the entire South.
00:28:18And it's an indisputable fact that there could be no other result.
00:28:22The Negroes will literally, and I do mean literally,
00:28:26control the South.
00:28:28The vote will be theirs.
00:28:29You'll have black mayors and black policemen
00:28:32the way they do in Chicago and New York already.
00:28:35Like there's not a black governor
00:28:37and black doctors to deliver your babies.
00:28:39If they find time, that is.
00:28:42And that's the way it'll be.
00:28:47Did you ever stop to think about that
00:28:49when you let those ten enter your school, did you?
00:28:53Now let me ask you.
00:28:56Do you people want niggers taken over?
00:28:59No!
00:29:03And are you willing to fight this thing down to the last ditch
00:29:06and keep fighting until it's over?
00:29:12Then I'm willing to fight with you
00:29:14and I'm willing to fight with you
00:29:16and I'm willing to fight with you
00:29:18and I'm willing to fight with you
00:29:20and I'm willing to fight with you!
00:29:23Why, Mr. Kramer?
00:29:28Why?
00:29:33Because I'm an American, sir, and I love my country
00:29:37and I'm willing to give my life, if that be necessary
00:29:41to see that my country stays free
00:29:45white
00:29:47and American!
00:29:49Yeah!
00:30:15Hell of a speech, boy!
00:30:17You didn't have to write it, I think.
00:30:19I didn't have to write it.
00:30:49Hey, look at that!
00:30:51What is that?
00:30:53I don't know!
00:30:55Junior, what is it?
00:30:57I don't know!
00:30:59Come on, let's get out of here!
00:31:01Let's get out of here, quick!
00:31:07Take it easy, nigger, you're not going anywhere!
00:31:09What's the trouble?
00:31:11No trouble, you look out for trouble!
00:31:13No, no, sir, we don't have any trouble.
00:31:15No, sir, we don't have any trouble.
00:31:17No, sir, we don't have any trouble.
00:31:19It's not our way to the house, sir.
00:31:21It's not our way to the house.
00:31:23Please, don't do it, we haven't done anything.
00:31:25Who can give you the rest of the ride if you're taxing, nigger?
00:31:27There's a highway to the house.
00:31:29Yes, I know there is, but...
00:31:31Well, if you know there is, how can you get on the street
00:31:33getting all that stuff?
00:31:35What's the matter with you folks?
00:31:37We haven't done anything!
00:31:39You're tearing up our streets!
00:31:41Look at the monkeys in the back!
00:31:43Daniel, please, please, please.
00:31:45All right, I'm sorry, we're gone.
00:31:47That's what you say!
00:31:49I don't know about that, nigger!
00:31:51I don't know about that!
00:31:53Talk back to me, nigger!
00:31:55Come on, come on.
00:31:57Come on, come on.
00:31:59Come on, kill yourself.
00:32:01One move.
00:32:15Why?
00:32:16Why?
00:32:19All right, break it up.
00:32:21Break it up real fast!
00:32:23I say, you miserable little toad!
00:32:26Enough, the rest of you people don't want to spend this night in jail.
00:32:29You get out of here, now.
00:32:31In that car and get out of here as fast as you can.
00:32:34All right, all right, what's going on here?
00:32:37Oh, nothing, Sheriff.
00:32:39The good citizens were just having a little fun, that's all.
00:32:42What kind of fun?
00:32:44The best kind.
00:32:46Here's the line, Sheriff, we didn't attack anybody.
00:32:49Oh, I know.
00:32:51There seems to be a difference of opinion here.
00:32:53Opinion's got nothing to do with it, Sheriff.
00:32:55The fact is a family was terrorized on the streets of Caxton.
00:32:58Hell, it was just a bunch of coons, Sheriff.
00:33:03Who did this here terrorizing?
00:33:08Do you want me to arrest everybody, Tom?
00:33:16All right, it's all over, let's go home.
00:33:34Hi, Tom, how are you making it, boy?
00:33:36Hello, Vern.
00:33:37You met...
00:33:38Yes, yes, I've had the pleasure.
00:33:40How are you?
00:33:42What do you want?
00:33:44Nothing, this is in the way of business.
00:33:46You do run ads, don't you?
00:33:48They meet our standards.
00:33:50By God, Tom, you're still the crankiest man of a morning I ever did see.
00:33:54Well, sir?
00:33:56It doesn't meet our standards.
00:33:58I'd suggest that you...
00:34:00I suggest you get the hell out of this office, Kramer.
00:34:02No, no, it's all right, Vern.
00:34:04Mr. McDangle's upset about what happened last night.
00:34:07He holds me responsible.
00:34:09You are responsible.
00:34:11I'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 taken in, has he?
00:34:23Now, look, Tom.
00:34:25Kramer 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.
00:34:32You heard his speech last night?
00:34:33Yes, I heard it.
00:34:35I saw what happened afterwards, too.
00:34:37Don't prove a thing.
00:34:38Probably that that negro was up at it.
00:34:39That negro wasn't up at it.
00:34:41He was just passing through town, which is his legal right.
00:34:44Oh, now, come on.
00:34:46Tom, come on.
00:34:48You'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.
00:35:01How?
00:35:03By attacking negroes in the streets?
00:35:05If that's what it takes, yes.
00:35:06All right.
00:35:08Do you know what you're saying?
00:35:10Yes, I know what I'm saying, but I don't think you do.
00:35:14I'm saying that we fought this thing fair and above board
00:35:17and it didn't get us anywhere.
00:35:19Now we're going to have to fight it their way.
00:35:21There's nothing to fight anymore, Vern.
00:35:23The law says we've got to have an integration.
00:35:26I believe in obeying the law.
00:35:28Kramer apparently doesn't.
00:35:30I don't like him.
00:35:32I don't trust him.
00:35:33And I'm certainly not going to run his stinking ad.
00:35:37Doggone.
00:35:39Ain't you forgetting something, Tom?
00:35:41What's that?
00:35:43Well, I own the controlling stock in the messenger.
00:35:46You're working for me.
00:35:49That's the way it is?
00:35:52That's the way it is.
00:35:54Doggone it.
00:36:03Doggone it.
00:36:33Doggone it.
00:37:03Doggone it.
00:37:34Doggone it.
00:37:36Doggone it.
00:37:38Doggone it.
00:37:40Doggone it.
00:37:42Doggone it.
00:37:44Doggone it.
00:37:46Doggone it.
00:38:03Doggone it.
00:38:33Doggone it.
00:38:41Who is it?
00:38:43Adam Kramer, your neighbor.
00:38:46What do you want?
00:38:48A cup of coffee, a little conversation maybe.
00:38:52Just a minute.
00:38:57Hi.
00:38:59Hello.
00:39:01Sam said I should drop in on you.
00:39:04He said he was spending the night in Farragut.
00:39:05Thought maybe you could use a little company.
00:39:08Well, if not, I'll go on back to my room.
00:39:11I think that'd be a pretty good idea.
00:39:14Is that what you want me to do?
00:39:16Yes.
00:39:18Why?
00:39:20Well, look, I'm getting ready for bed.
00:39:2210.50? I 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, definitely unkind.
00:39:37Just want a little old cup of coffee.
00:39:42Okay.
00:39:53Why did you say that?
00:39:55Say what?
00:39:58That I wasn't a friend.
00:39:59I don't know.
00:40:01Look, I'm tired.
00:40:03It's hot.
00:40:04I told you.
00:40:06The way you act, you're not afraid of me, are you?
00:40:09No.
00:40:11Don't have to bite my head off.
00:40:19How do you stand it, anyway?
00:40:21I don't know what you're talking about.
00:40:23Well, you know, this town.
00:40:25I should think you'd get awfully lonely.
00:40:27Especially with Sam leaving you half the time.
00:40:33I stand it just fine, Mr. Kramer.
00:40:35You were born with that chip on your shoulder, and somebody put it there.
00:40:39Look, if you don't like my personality, you don't have to subject yourself to it.
00:40:43What are you after, anyway?
00:40:45A cup of coffee.
00:40:50Afterwards, you'll have to go.
00:40:51Afterwards, you'll have to go.
00:41:22Oh, thank you.
00:41:25Mr. Kramer, I didn't know you were a religious man.
00:41:29You have to admit, it's dramatic.
00:41:31So is a lynching.
00:41:34That's old-fashioned.
00:41:36Otherwise, you wouldn't mind?
00:41:38Mrs. Griffin, that's a terrible thing to say.
00:41:42These people like me.
00:41:44I'm here to save lives, not to take them.
00:41:48I'm the Empress of China.
00:41:52I know what you're doing here, but why?
00:41:56Who can say? Great times call forth great men.
00:42:02You're a great man?
00:42:04Not yet.
00:42:10You don't want to talk politics, do you?
00:42:14I've already told you all you need to know about me.
00:42:16I've already told you all you need to know about me.
00:42:21You despise me, but you're attracted to me, isn't that right?
00:42:26Isn't it?
00:42:27Isn't it?
00:42:31If you don't mind, I'm going to take off my coat. It's getting awfully hot in here.
00:42:37Aren't you hot?
00:42:42I hope you know these bulbs are giving off a lot of heat.
00:42:44Look at the difference.
00:42:48See?
00:42:51We're down five degrees, I'll bet.
00:42:56You're not very comfortable, are you?
00:43:03It does get lonely for you, doesn't it?
00:43:06I know it does. I feel that way myself a lot of the time.
00:43:08I almost go crazy sometimes, because there isn't anybody who feels things the way I do.
00:43:14I think how wonderful it would be to meet a person like that and be with that person.
00:43:21Not for long.
00:43:24Just a little while.
00:43:26Just a little while.
00:43:28I don't know.
00:43:30Adam, please.
00:43:31Please. Please, please, what?
00:43:33You want me to leave?
00:43:34Adam.
00:43:35You want me to leave?
00:43:36You 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, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:44:05Well, Tom, what's got into you?
00:44:08I don't know what you're thinking anymore.
00:44:10I'm not sure I do.
00:44:13Ruth, tell me something.
00:44:15How do you feel about this question?
00:44:18Well, I'm not sure I know what you mean.
00:44:21About integration.
00:44:23Well, I think it's a terrible thing.
00:44:26Why?
00:44:28Why?
00:44:30Because it just isn't right, that's why.
00:44:34Tom.
00:44:36Are 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 gonna do?
00:44:59I don't know.
00:45:05I'm not sure.
00:45:07I'm not sure of anything.
00:45:10Except this is right.
00:45:12And we've got to face up to it.
00:45:23Listen.
00:45:25Come on, come on.
00:45:26Yeah.
00:45:34Come on.
00:46:04What'd you pull him in for, Rudy?
00:46:06He smarted off Adam 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.
00:46:14I don't.
00:46:20How are you, Vern?
00:46:21I might as well tell you right off the bat I don't cotton to any of this.
00:46:24I strung along with you because I figured you were smart,
00:46:26but smart people don't end up here.
00:46:28I'm not ending up here, Vern.
00:46:30This is just the beginning.
00:46:31Never underestimate the value of a jail sentence.
00:46:34Remember Socrates, Lenin, Hitler.
00:46:39The bail is $10,000.
00:46:41What if I don't put up the money?
00:46:43Forget it, Vern.
00:46:45I don't want your money, yet.
00:46:47Haven't I told you that?
00:46:50We're gonna get it.
00:47:02Come on.
00:47:12Thank you. Thank you very much.
00:47:14I want to thank the Reverend Neeson, Mr. Carey, Mr. Dongen for what they've done for me.
00:47:19Our friend Vern Shipman offered to get me out of jail.
00:47:22I told him no.
00:47:24I told him,
00:47:26looky here, the people will see to it.
00:47:32Now 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.
00:47:41He knows for sure now the people of Caxton won't stand still for no injustice.
00:47:51What the Sheriff thought was that I was responsible for the dynamiting up in the Badlands.
00:47:57Why, I couldn't hardly believe he was serious.
00:47:59I said to him, Sheriff,
00:48:02I said whoever planted that bomb, it wasn't nobody in the Patrick Henry Society.
00:48:07We got brains enough to know
00:48:10that killing a nigger preacher and blowing up a church can do us nothing but harm.
00:48:14Throwing a scare into the niggers is good.
00:48:17But we got to be very, very careful.
00:48:22Right? Yeah, that's right.
00:48:24Now 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 and go on acting according to the orders of the Society.
00:48:42Well, I don't know anything about that.
00:48:44But I know one thing.
00:48:46Ain't going to be one solitary nigger going to have enough guts to step into our school now.
00:48:51It's all over.
00:49:01It's all over.
00:49:18Hello, Adam.
00:49:20Sam.
00:49:22How are things?
00:49:24Okay, I guess.
00:49:26Good. How did you do in Farragut?
00:49:28Farragut? Sell many, what is it, pens?
00:49:32Well, I'm glad to hear it.
00:49:36Is there something you want to see me about, Sam?
00:49:38I tell you what, I'm kind of pooped. I thought maybe...
00:49:40Look, Adam, I know this ain't none of your business and I got no right bothering you with it.
00:49:43But I got to talk to somebody. I just got to. I'll go crazy if I don't.
00:49:46What is it, Sam? What's the matter?
00:49:48She's gone.
00:49:50Why? She's gone. Let me run out.
00:49:52What happened?
00:49:54I don't know.
00:49:56I get back from Farragut about two o'clock.
00:49:58I left a present for her.
00:50:00I got up to the room, she was gone.
00:50:02Just a note saying she'd love me but was no good for me. I 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.
00:50:16I never told anyone this, but...
00:50:18But I consider you a friend, Adam.
00:50:20Before I met Vice, she...
00:50:22Well, she knew a lot of men. It was like a disease with her.
00:50:25Doctors got a name for it, but they can't cure it alone.
00:50:28When I met Vice, I fell in love with her.
00:50:30I knew she was a good woman.
00:50:32I thought maybe I could help her.
00:50:34Five years we've been happy.
00:50:36Now this...
00:50:38I figure she got in some trouble.
00:50:40What sort of trouble?
00:50:42Man trouble.
00:50:44Like with some fella come along, caught her a weak moment, she...
00:50:47What do you think, Adam? You think that could be it?
00:50:50Well, it's possible, I guess, but I...
00:50:54I just can't bring myself to believe it.
00:50:56If Mrs. Griffin, she doesn't seem the type, you know what I mean?
00:50:58She was a man.
00:51:00But who?
00:51:02You!
00:51:06Oh, Sam.
00:51:08Don't bother thinking up a lot of lies.
00:51:10I know what happened. This is an old hotel. The walls are thin.
00:51:12Mrs. Lambert heard you.
00:51:14I wasn't going to deny it, Sam.
00:51:17The reason I didn't tell you before was...
00:51:19was because I didn't want to hurt you any more than you've been hurt already.
00:51:22Really, honest. That's the truth.
00:51:24Blame me if you want to, but...
00:51:26Sam, I'm going to level with you.
00:51:28It was a lot my fault.
00:51:30Now, sure, I won't pretend that it wasn't.
00:51:32I went to your room just to say goodnight.
00:51:34And we were talking, you know, just talking.
00:51:36And I don't know, suddenly everything started to go wrong.
00:51:39Can you understand?
00:51:41I understand.
00:51:43So I slept with her. Okay, I admit it.
00:51:45But you've got to know this.
00:51:47No matter how much you blame me,
00:51:49and hate me, and want to shoot me,
00:51:52it wasn't all my fault.
00:51:54And there's another thing.
00:51:55Mrs. Griffin said I wasn't the first.
00:51:58I mean, since you've been married, she's slept with plenty of others.
00:52:00And she said she knew it didn't matter because...
00:52:02because you'd never catch on.
00:52:04Sam, I'm forcing myself to tell you this.
00:52:06It's the truth.
00:52:09Sam, I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying.
00:52:14Oh, you missed your calling, boy.
00:52:16You'd have made a fine pitchman.
00:52:18You knew just the right way to work on people's weak spots.
00:52:20But you know something?
00:52:22I'm going to find her and I'm going to get her back.
00:52:23And when I do, we'll be closer than ever.
00:52:25So in a way, you've really done us a big favor, friend.
00:52:38You know something?
00:52:40We're in the same line, you and me.
00:52:42We're both selling something.
00:52:44But I've been at it longer.
00:52:46I can see where you're making mistakes.
00:52:48And right now, those mistakes are beginning to pile up on you.
00:52:50And in a little while, they're going to smother you.
00:52:52Get out of here.
00:52:54I've been studying your pitch.
00:52:56It's not bad, you've got technique.
00:52:58But you know what's wrong?
00:53:00You're too clever, Adam.
00:53:02You've got no room in your head for intelligence.
00:53:04Because if you were intelligent, you'd be able to see
00:53:06that you started something you can't control.
00:53:08You think you're the boss now?
00:53:10Wake up, boy, that mob's the boss.
00:53:12What do you know, you big boob?
00:53:14Did you tell them to blow up the church?
00:53:22I'm sick of listening to your rave.
00:53:24Now, get out of here before I pull the trigger.
00:53:28Oh, people are wonderful.
00:53:30You couldn't pull that trigger if your life depended on it.
00:53:33Because deep down inside, you're gutless, Adam.
00:53:35You know you're gutless.
00:53:37That's why you're doing this, to prove to yourself
00:53:39that you can't control the world.
00:53:41You can't control the world.
00:53:43You can't control the world.
00:53:45You can't control the world.
00:53:47You can't control the world.
00:53:49You can't control the world.
00:53:51You know that you're not.
00:53:55I'll give you five.
00:53:57If you're not out of here by then, I'll pull the trigger.
00:54:01One.
00:54:03Two.
00:54:07Three.
00:54:12Four.
00:54:15Five.
00:54:17See what I mean, boy?
00:54:21Of course, you never want to be too sure of anything, either.
00:54:24Rule of the trade.
00:54:31Get away from me.
00:54:37Get away from me.
00:54:39No, boy.
00:54:41I don't think I'll do that.
00:54:43I think I'll stick around for a while.
00:54:45You won't see me likely, but I'll be here.
00:54:47I always did like fireworks.
00:54:52Yes.
00:55:19Miss Green.
00:55:21That's right.
00:55:22My 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 vote, mister.
00:55:27Get on back to town.
00:55:28Put in the paper.
00:55:29Let's niggers give up.
00:55:30You won't have to kill any more of us.
00:55:31Bob.
00:55:32Mr. Green.
00:55:34I know you have no reason to trust me
00:55:35and I have no right to expect you to.
00:55:37But I'm on your side.
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:40Please.
00:55:41Please believe me.
00:55:42I understand how you feel.
00:55:44I know it's hard.
00:55:46And I can't promise you that nobody else will get hurt.
00:55:48Maybe they will. I don't know.
00:55:50But you mustn't give up now.
00:55:52Your boy here and the other children
00:55:53have got to go to school this morning.
00:55:55It means everything.
00:55:56That's easy to say.
00:55:57But what have you got to lose, white man?
00:56:00My job.
00:56:01My home.
00:56:02Maybe my family.
00:56:04Is that enough for you?
00:56:08Joy.
00:56:09Don't try to stop me, Pop.
00:56:10You know he's right and so do I.
00:56:12We can't give up now.
00:56:15We'd better hurry.
00:56:19Come on.
00:56:49Come on.
00:57:13This will be okay.
00:57:15Thank you very much.
00:57:17Come on.
00:57:20Come on.
00:57:41McDaniel.
00:57:42Yes?
00:57:43You got anything to say?
00:57:44Oh, what?
00:57:45You know what.
00:57:46We've seen you, McDaniel,
00:57:47and we want an explanation.
00:57:49Wait.
00:57:50Please, get out of my way.
00:57:54Hold it!
00:57:55What do you want?
00:57:56Like the man said.
00:57:58An explanation.
00:57:59Yeah, you tell us, McDaniel.
00:58:00How come you walked that bunch of black niggers
00:58:02to our white school?
00:58:04I don't see anything I do
00:58:05as any business of yours.
00:58:07We figured you was against all this.
00:58:08And we've seen you taking them jigs to school.
00:58:10We got kind of a surprise, see?
00:58:13That's why we figured you ought to do some talking.
00:58:15Yeah, what have you got to say for yourself now?
00:58:17Which one of them niggers paid you off?
00:58:20It ain't polite not to answer a civil question.
00:58:23Ebner here wants to know
00:58:24who paid you to betray your people.
00:58:26Yeah, let's teach him a lesson now.
00:58:34Why don't you get 15 or 20 more people, Cary?
00:58:37Then you'll feel really safe.
00:58:39Teach him, Bart.
00:58:40You shut your mouth, nigger lover.
00:58:41You're awful good with the questions.
00:58:43How are you with the answers?
00:58:44Where were you when that preacher was killed, Cary?
00:58:46Shut up, or you're gonna get the same thing.
00:58:47Where were you?
00:58:48I'll show you.
00:59:11I'm sorry, honey.
00:59:14I guess I just wasn't cut out to be a hero.
00:59:19Oh.
00:59:21Am I gonna lose the eye?
00:59:27No, don't go get them yet.
00:59:30I wanna know.
00:59:37You've already lost it, Tom.
00:59:44They did a pretty good job, didn't they?
00:59:48Father!
00:59:53Father.
00:59:55I'm all right.
00:59:57It's all right.
01:00:01You better go home, honey. It's late.
01:00:07We mustn't upset your father.
01:00:09He's gonna be all right.
01:00:14I'll be long in a little while.
01:00:19I'm sorry, honey.
01:00:22Don't be.
01:00:24I'm not.
01:00:26Not in the least.
01:00:30It's the best thing you've ever done, and I'm proud of you.
01:00:35I wish I could tell you that I know why you did what you did.
01:00:39Why you feel the way you do, but...
01:00:42I can't lie to you, Tom.
01:00:44I don't believe in integration.
01:00:48But I believe in you.
01:00:51And if this means so much to you,
01:00:53that you're willing to risk everything,
01:00:55even your own life for it,
01:00:58then I know it must be right.
01:01:01So I'm gonna try to understand.
01:01:04I'm gonna try very hard, darling.
01:01:08I'm only asking you.
01:01:10I love you, honey.
01:01:13Tell me it's not too late for us.
01:01:16It isn't.
01:01:18It never is.
01:01:22Wait. Maybe you'd better get the doctor now.
01:01:26It never is.
01:01:30Wait. Maybe you'd better get the doctor now.
01:01:45Well, how is he?
01:01:48Haven't you gone deaf to ask you a question?
01:01:52Well?
01:01:55He has four broken ribs and...
01:01:57And what?
01:01:59Internal injuries and he...
01:02:01and he lost his eye.
01:02:03He was lucky.
01:02:04Lucky?
01:02:05Yes. In my day, they'd have strung a man up for doing what he done.
01:02:08And I'd have been on the end of the rope, too.
01:02:10What's the matter with him, anyhow?
01:02:12How am I gonna face my friends?
01:02:14I've never been so embarrassed in my life.
01:02:16Oh, shut your filthy, stinky mouth!
01:02:25If you're interested in saving your father's life,
01:02:27you'd better listen and listen carefully.
01:02:30I'm gonna have to say some things I don't want to say.
01:02:35The men who beat up Mr. McDaniel this morning are desperate.
01:02:38You understand? Desperate.
01:02:40You saw what they did.
01:02:41Now, the reason for that...
01:02:42It's not to me.
01:02:45Never mind the reason.
01:02:48Just understand this.
01:02:49They'll kill you.
01:02:52Just understand this.
01:02:53They'll kill your father if we don't do something.
01:02:56They'll go right into that hospital.
01:02:58And there'll be so many of them.
01:03:00The sheriff won't know what to do.
01:03:02They'll blow his head off.
01:03:06So listen carefully.
01:03:11If you want to save your father's life,
01:03:15this is what you're gonna have to do.
01:03:22Man, the world is shaking today.
01:03:24She wants us to study frogs, man, I don't know.
01:03:27Oh, you're just afraid to touch them, that's all.
01:03:34I don't know about you, but...
01:03:36I can't tell them apart.
01:03:38Get out of here.
01:03:41Hey, excuse me.
01:03:43Are you Joy Green?
01:03:44That's right.
01:03:46Well, I'm Ella McDaniel.
01:03:48Tom McDaniel's daughter.
01:03:50Oh, I heard about what happened yesterday.
01:03:53I hope he's better.
01:03:54Is he?
01:03:56Yes, he's a lot better.
01:03:58I wish you'd thank him for us, miss.
01:04:00He did a real fine thing.
01:04:02He's a fine man.
01:04:04He's a good man.
01:04:06I wish you'd thank him for us, miss.
01:04:08He did a real fine thing.
01:04:10He's a fine man.
01:04:12I know.
01:04:14Well, better get going.
01:04:16The bell's about to ring.
01:04:19Oh, wait a second, I...
01:04:22I wonder if you'd do me a favor.
01:04:24Sure, if I can.
01:04:26Well, it isn't much.
01:04:28Well, you see, I'm working down in the storage room
01:04:30and I've got to get some things.
01:04:32Well, I could use a little help.
01:04:34Hang on, wait right here.
01:04:35Oh, I spoke to her.
01:04:36Oh, she doesn't mind.
01:04:37It'll just take a few minutes.
01:04:39I just want you to kind of help me with some things.
01:04:42Well, okay.
01:04:45Well, come on.
01:04:49Let's go.
01:04:56Come on.
01:04:59Wait here a second until I put the other light on.
01:05:01Okay.
01:05:04Come on.
01:05:15All right.
01:05:21Over here.
01:05:29Up here.
01:05:30It's these two buttons, all right.
01:05:35All right.
01:05:43All right.
01:05:49Okay.
01:05:50Miss McDaniel?
01:05:56Miss McDaniel?
01:05:57Ah!
01:06:00Ah!
01:06:03That does it.
01:06:05What's the matter, McDaniel?
01:06:06Did they beat him?
01:06:09What happened?
01:06:10What happened?
01:06:11Sandy, we don't know what you're talking about.
01:06:13Tell us, what happened?
01:06:15Nigger, tried to rape a white girl.
01:06:16What?
01:06:17Nigger, you know the one they call Joe Green?
01:06:19Happened 20 minutes ago.
01:06:20Ellen McDaniel, you know her.
01:06:21The fellow who's in the hospital's daughter.
01:06:23I knew it'd happen.
01:06:25Where 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?
01:06:33Are we going to do something about it?
01:06:35All right.
01:06:36Go and get every member of the society you can find.
01:06:38Right now.
01:06:39Tell them to meet here as quickly as they can.
01:06:41Right now.
01:06:43Tell them what happened at the school and they'll come.
01:06:46They'll come.
01:06:48Danny.
01:06:49You go on back.
01:06:50Round up as many kids as you can.
01:06:52Buck ahead. Guaranteed.
01:06:57This better work.
01:06:59It will.
01:07:01Keep your mouth shut if you don't start thinking on your own anymore.
01:07:04McDaniel's going to talk.
01:07:05I know it.
01:07:06Probably so, after what you did to him, you idiot.
01:07:08What are you going to do?
01:07:10End this thing.
01:07:12How?
01:07:14This is the last question I want to hear from you.
01:07:17From now on, I'll do all the thinking.
01:07:18Understood?
01:07:19Understood?
01:07:20Now, get out of here and get up some people fast.
01:07:28Hello, Vern.
01:07:30Adam.
01:07:32I've got some news for you.
01:07:36Calmly, Ella.
01:07:37Tell us once again exactly what happened.
01:07:41I 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?
01:07:55Because we were out.
01:07:57I understand that, but why didn't you have Miss Siegfried get one of the boys to do it for you?
01:08:01I don't know.
01:08:02I'd like to be excused now if you don't mind.
01:08:06Very well, Miss Siegfried, you're excused.
01:08:09Wait a minute.
01:08:13Ella, is there any more you want to tell us?
01:08:17All right, you can go.
01:08:19I called your house, but your mother isn't there.
01:08:21You want me to call her at the hospital?
01:08:22Perhaps in that case, Miss Siegfried will drive you home.
01:08:30I don't believe it.
01:08:31I don't believe any part of it.
01:08:32Do you?
01:08:34I don't know what to think.
01:08:36It could have been any other girl.
01:08:38Say she was lying.
01:08:40But Tom McDaniel's daughter?
01:08:42Oh, I don't care whose daughter.
01:08:44We both know Joey Green is too smart to do anything so stupid.
01:08:48Ella is lying.
01:08:49Well, it doesn't much matter now.
01:08:51It's her story.
01:08:52Convince any jury.
01:08:54Humble boy said he saw Green sneak down after her.
01:08:57I'm afraid we're beaten.
01:09:11Hello, give me the sheriff.
01:09:12Right away.
01:09:14Go get Joey Green.
01:09:16Hello, Rudy.
01:09:17Rudy, this is Harley Patton.
01:09:18Now listen carefully.
01:09:19I want you to get as many men together as you can to get over to the school right away.
01:09:22We've got trouble with one of the students.
01:09:24Yes, Rudy, one of the colored students.
01:09:25Hurry.
01:09:27Rudy, we've got a mob outside.
01:09:35Lock the door.
01:09:37And don't be frightened.
01:09:38I just talked to Sheriff Parkhouse.
01:09:39He'll be here in a minute.
01:09:40There's nothing to worry about.
01:09:42I didn't do it, Mr. Patton.
01:09:44I know you didn't.
01:09:45Give us him, Patton.
01:09:49What do you want?
01:09:50You know what we want.
01:09:52Yeah.
01:09:54You're the nigger that raped the white guy in the school.
01:09:57Help me.
01:09:58We know you're the nigger.
01:09:59Come on.
01:10:00Come on.
01:10:01We're paying justice.
01:10:02Yeah.
01:10:08Exactly five minutes of that nigger ain't out here by the school.
01:10:12Exactly five minutes of that nigger ain't out here by them.
01:10:15We're coming in to get him.
01:10:18Ain't that right?
01:10:26Joey, how would you explain it?
01:10:29I think somebody must have put her up to it.
01:10:31It's the only thing I can think of.
01:10:34Adam Kramer.
01:10:38You're on our side, aren't you, Mr. Patton?
01:10:42Yes, Joey, I am.
01:10:44Only you figure we're whipped 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, Captain.
01:11:11Remember, no violence.
01:11:13There isn't any need for it.
01:11:16Don't worry, they'll see what the cause is, see how we take care of it.
01:11:19Come on, let's go get the nigger.
01:11:24I wouldn't bother with that, Mr. Patton.
01:11:26I think Sheriff Parkhouse is going to be a little late.
01:11:28Joey, you come with me, my car's in the back, I'll drive you to Farragut.
01:11:31No, that's what they want.
01:11:35Joey.
01:11:39Joey!
01:11:41Joey!
01:12:03Did you people want to talk to me?
01:12:04Talk to me.
01:12:10You're Joseph Green?
01:12:12That's right.
01:12:13You admit you tried to rape one of our white girls today?
01:12:18No, I don't.
01:12:19What do you mean, no, you don't?
01:12:22I mean, I didn't try to rape anyone.
01:12:24You're lying, nigger!
01:12:25Now, you be still.
01:12:27We're going to listen to what this boy has to say for himself.
01:12:31So, you claim you're innocent, is that right?
01:12:34That's right.
01:12:36Didn't anybody ever teach you to address a white man as sir?
01:12:44Now, let that be your first lesson.
01:12:47Got blood on your mouth, boy.
01:12:50Wipe it off.
01:12:53What do you say?
01:12:57Thank you what?
01:13:01Thank you, sir.
01:13:07Now, I'm going to ask you just one more time, boy.
01:13:12And I want you to think before you answer.
01:13:15You think real hard.
01:13:18Because if you tell us the truth, you've got nothing to be afraid of.
01:13:21But if you lie to us,
01:13:25you're going to be in more trouble than you ever dreamed of.
01:13:30Now,
01:13:36were you in that basement?
01:13:39I was in the basement.
01:13:41With a white girl?
01:13:44Yes, sir.
01:13:46I think they're going to take him to jail now.
01:13:52You were alone
01:13:54with a white girl
01:13:56in the basement of the school.
01:13:57But you didn't try to do anything.
01:14:00Is that what you're saying?
01:14:02Is that what you expect us to believe, nigger?
01:14:05Let's pick up!
01:14:10Here comes the nigger, let me know.
01:14:12There's the Palestine Indian.
01:14:18Only a coward would hit a defenseless boy.
01:14:21Is that what you're calling me, Patton?
01:14:23Yes, that's exactly what I'm calling you.
01:14:25You're a miserable, yellow coward, Mr. Shipman.
01:14:28Just like every cheap bully in the world.
01:14:30And that goes for you too, Mr. Adam Kramer.
01:14:33For every one of you here.
01:14:35Now, do I make myself perfectly clear?
01:14:44Remain in my office until the Farragut police arrive.
01:14:47If you want to avoid a jail sentence,
01:14:48I would advise all of you people to leave at once.
01:14:56You admit it?
01:14:59That's too bad, you give us no choice.
01:15:06Hey, what do you think you're doing with that nigger?
01:15:09Later on, maybe he'll tell you.
01:15:23Nigger, man!
01:15:25Nigger, man!
01:15:55Nigger, man!
01:16:26Wow!
01:16:32Hold on there a minute.
01:16:38Hello, Adam.
01:16:41Ella.
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, no.
01:16:53Then move aside.
01:16:56We 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 him, Miss McDaniel.
01:17:12Tell him 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 nigger.
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?
01:17:42Vern, this guy is crazy.
01:17:43Shut up!
01:17:44You go on.
01:17:46Your boy was getting desperate, Mr. Shipman.
01:17:47He was on the verge of losing everything he'd built up.
01:17:50So he threatened the girl.
01:17:51Told her he'd kill her father.
01:17:52Vern, don't listen to him.
01:17:53This man is crazy, I tell you.
01:17:55Is that right, girl?
01:17:57He promised me there wouldn't be any trouble.
01:17:59He said nothing would happen to the boy except he might be expelled.
01:18:04I'm sorry.
01:18:06I'm so sorry.
01:18:07I didn't mean for this to happen.
01:18:10All right, honey.
01:18:11You go on back to the car.
01:18:12Be all right.
01:18:17Ella.
01:18:23Ella.
01:18:54Right now you good people are probably telling yourselves
01:18:57you were going to take this boy down to jail and see a little justice done.
01:19:01But that ain't the truth.
01:19:02You were going to kill this boy.
01:19:04You know it and I know it.
01:19:05You know it all the rest of your lives.
01:19:10And you.
01:19:12You're thinking everything would have been just fine
01:19:13if you and me hadn't had our little personal difficulties.
01:19:16That ain't the truth either.
01:19:17You began losing your grip on these people the second you got it.
01:19:19Because nobody, nobody can have the kind of power you thought you had, Mr. Kramer.
01:19:24Lies.
01:19:27Lies!
01:19:29I swear to God this man's lying to you!
01:19:42Are you all crazy?
01:19:49Tell them the truth.
01:19:50Come on, tell them the truth.
01:19:52What 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 filth.
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!
01:20:35They think they've got us scared.
01:20:37But 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?
01:20:48You hear what I'm saying?
01:20:50You hear what I'm saying?
01:20:53Verne.
01:20:54You talk to them.
01:20:55They'll listen to you, Verne.
01:20:58Say, Verne.
01:21:00A meeting, tonight.
01:21:01Palace 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!
01:21:15Only the beginning!
01:21:17Adam Kramer!
01:21:48Boy.
01:21:52You're going to get grass stains all over those trousers you don't get up.
01:21:57Come on.
01:22:01That's better.
01:22:04I figure your work in this town is about over.
01:22:06If you hurry, you can catch the bus to Farragut.
01:22:07They've got trains there.
01:22:09If you had a little light on traveling money, I'd be proud to...
01:22:12You're sure now?
01:22:14Yeah.
01:22:16You're sure now?
01:22:19Oh, I almost forgot.
01:22:24These belong to you.
01:22:28I wouldn't want to steal from you, boy.
