1
00:05:08,433 --> 00:05:09,434
Uh-oh.

2
00:05:13,063 --> 00:05:14,231
A IR N W4

3
00:05:19,277 --> 00:05:20,862
What do they want?

4
00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:22,531
| don't know.

5
00:05:24,074 --> 00:05:28,245
Just pass me.
Pass me.

6
00:05:33,083 --> 00:05:34,543
Is it a cop?

7
00:05:35,043 --> 00:05:36,211
| can't see.

8
00:05:37,587 --> 00:05:39,965
What the fuck
are these jokers playin' at?

9
00:05:40,131 --> 00:05:42,217
They ain't playin'.
You better believe it.

10
00:05:52,811 --> 00:05:53,979
What are we gonna do?

11
00:05:55,730 --> 00:05:56,898
| don't know.

12
00:06:02,112 --> 00:06:03,405
OK. Hold on, you guys.

13
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:16,626
There's a truck too.

14
00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:35,520
Shit. It is a cop.

15
00:06:38,648 --> 00:06:39,691
Better stop.

16
00:06:40,609 --> 00:06:44,738
OK. Sit tight, you guys.
Don't say anything. Let me talk.

17
00:06:46,156 --> 00:06:49,034
All right? We'll be all right.
NV Y e

18
00:07:26,363 --> 00:07:29,366
Y'all think you can drive any
speed you want around here?

19
00:07:29,532 --> 00:07:31,368
You had us scared to death, man.

20
00:07:31,534 --> 00:07:34,162
Don't you call me "man", Jew-boy.

21
00:07:34,329 --> 00:07:36,331
No, sir.
What should | call you?

22
00:07:36,498 --> 00:07:39,626
You don't call me nothin’,
nigger-lovin' Jew-boy. You just listen.

23
00:07:41,753 --> 00:07:42,963
Yes, sir.

24
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:48,593
Hell, you even startin' to
smell like a nigger, Jew-boy.

25
00:07:49,552 --> 00:07:53,306
- Take it easy. We'll be all right.
- Sure you will, nigger-lover.

26
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:57,519
He's seen your face. That ain't good.
You don't want him seein' your face.

27
00:07:57,769 --> 00:08:01,022
Oh, it don't make no difference no more.

28
00:08:04,859 --> 00:08:07,153
Whoa, shit!
We into it now, boys.

29
00:08:09,572 --> 00:08:13,284
You only left me a nigger,
but at least | shot me a nigger.

30
00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:17,080
Yes, indeed.

31
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:44,232
Now listen, you communists
and niggers and Jews

32
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:47,444
Tell all your buddies
to spread the news

33
00:08:47,610 --> 00:08:50,655
Your Day of Judgement will soon be nigh

34
00:08:50,822 --> 00:08:53,867
As the Lord in his wisdom
looks down from on high

35
00:08:54,034 --> 00:08:57,537
Will his battle be lost by mixin' the races?

36
00:08:57,704 --> 00:09:01,541
We want beautiful babies,
nhot ones with brown faces

37
00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:04,586
Never, never, never, | say

38
00:09:04,753 --> 00:09:07,130
For the Ku Klux Klan is here to stay

39
00:09:07,297 --> 00:09:09,340
Never, never, never, | say

40
00:09:09,507 --> 00:09:12,135
Cos the Ku Klux Klan is here to stay.

41
00:09:12,302 --> 00:09:15,597
These Ku Kluxers are better with
lynchings than they are with lyrics.

42
00:09:15,764 --> 00:09:20,727
Just read the file, Mr Anderson.
| can do without the cabaret.

43
00:09:20,894 --> 00:09:22,687
You don't like me much, do you, boss?

44
00:09:22,854 --> 00:09:26,066
Sure, | like you.
| just don't share your sense of humour.

45
00:09:27,817 --> 00:09:31,321
Sometimes that's all you got left.
How long you been in the Bureau?

46
00:09:31,488 --> 00:09:32,781
Three years.

47
00:09:32,947 --> 00:09:34,824
Right outta college, huh?

48
00:09:34,991 --> 00:09:37,494
No. From the Justice Department.

49
00:09:37,660 --> 00:09:40,914
Kennedy boy. Now | see.

50
00:09:41,081 --> 00:09:44,793
No, | don't think you do see.

51
00:09:44,959 --> 00:09:47,170
Let's get this thing straight.

52
00:09:47,337 --> 00:09:50,840
| haven't had a pimple in years.
| shave every morning.

53
00:09:51,007 --> 00:09:55,011
| even go to the bathroom by myself,
SO you can quit this "boss" stuff.

54
00:09:56,262 --> 00:09:59,182
They put me in charge because
I've been through this before.

55
00:09:59,349 --> 00:10:00,725
Birmingham? Montgomery?

56
00:10:00,892 --> 00:10:03,937
Oxford.
| was with Meredith at Old Miss.

57
00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:05,355
Oh yeah.

58
00:10:05,522 --> 00:10:08,525
You got hit in the head with a brick,
so they gave you a promotion, right?

59
00:10:08,691 --> 00:10:10,819
No. Shot in the shoulder.

60
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,405
Well, at least you lived.
That's important.

61
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:18,076
No, Meredith lived.
That's what's important.

62
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:27,794
What's got four eyes and can't see?

63
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,004
What?

64
00:10:30,171 --> 00:10:32,048
Mississippi.

65
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:14,674
Big building for a small town.

66
00:11:14,841 --> 00:11:16,634
-1k

67
00:11:19,429 --> 00:11:20,555
Howdy.

68
00:11:49,042 --> 00:11:51,628
...in a red pick-up driving crazily...

69
00:11:53,713 --> 00:11:57,300
Good morning.
My name's Alan Ward.

70
00:11:57,759 --> 00:11:59,427
I'm with the FBI.

71
00:12:00,637 --> 00:12:03,223
Federal Bureau of Integration?

72
00:12:06,684 --> 00:12:09,062
In that get-up, you ain't exactly
undercover, are you, now?

73
00:12:09,604 --> 00:12:11,481
We're here to see Sheriff Stuckey.

74
00:12:12,148 --> 00:12:13,775
Sheriff's right busy now.

75
00:12:16,110 --> 00:12:18,071
You'll have to wait or
come back some other time.

76
00:12:21,532 --> 00:12:22,617
We'll wait.

77
00:12:35,672 --> 00:12:38,675
Listen to me,
you backwoods shit-ass, you.

78
00:12:38,841 --> 00:12:41,135
You got about two seconds
to get the sheriff out here

79
00:12:41,302 --> 00:12:44,097
or I'm gonna kick
the goddamn door in. OK?

80
00:12:47,892 --> 00:12:50,645
Well, hell.
Looks like we got some company.

81
00:12:51,020 --> 00:12:53,982
Some Hoover boys come down
to visit. How ya doin"?

82
00:12:54,399 --> 00:12:55,441
Good.

83
00:12:55,984 --> 00:12:57,402
I'm Sheriff Stuckey.

84
00:12:57,568 --> 00:12:58,569
Rupert Anderson.

85
00:12:58,736 --> 00:13:03,741
Rupert? We've been expectin' you.
| assume you met my deputy, Mr Pell.

86
00:13:04,742 --> 00:13:05,743
Sure did.

87
00:13:06,327 --> 00:13:08,955
Are you down here to help us
solve our nigger problems?

88
00:13:09,205 --> 00:13:11,499
No. It's just a missing person case.

89
00:13:12,667 --> 00:13:13,751
Well, come on.

90
00:13:14,711 --> 00:13:17,213
Say... You gonna want
your boy in on this?

91
00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:21,801
Sheriff... I'm Special Agent Ward
and I'm in charge of this case.

92
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,139
We think it might be a little more
serious than missing persons.

93
00:13:27,098 --> 00:13:28,516
| don't think so, boy.

94
00:13:28,683 --> 00:13:30,476
In fact, you know what | think it is?

95
00:13:30,643 --> 00:13:34,731
It's a publicity stunt cooked up
by that Martin Luther King fella.

96
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,691
Come on.

97
00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:53,916
At around 3.00pm, Deputy Pell says
he arrested the three boys for speeding.

98
00:13:54,083 --> 00:13:57,670
He held them in jail until 10.00 pm
and then released them.

99
00:13:57,837 --> 00:13:59,047
They drove off.

100
00:13:59,213 --> 00:14:02,050
He says he followed them
as far as the county line

101
00:14:02,216 --> 00:14:03,551
and never saw them again.

102
00:14:05,970 --> 00:14:08,139
Why didn't they make a phone call?

103
00:14:08,306 --> 00:14:09,766
Why should they?

104
00:14:09,932 --> 00:14:12,477
Mr Anderson, these boys were
trained activists.

105
00:14:12,643 --> 00:14:14,020
They're taught to check in every hour

106
00:14:14,187 --> 00:14:17,065
and, if they're arrested, the moment
they're released from custody.

107
00:14:17,231 --> 00:14:18,858
The hotel is two minutes from the jail.

108
00:14:19,025 --> 00:14:22,737
They could've phoned from the lobby.
It just doesn't follow.

109
00:14:22,904 --> 00:14:24,155
Maybe they went for a beer.

110
00:14:24,322 --> 00:14:27,992
Not these boys. The Civil Rights Office
in Rossville started making calls

111
00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:29,869
as soon as they didn't check in.

112
00:14:30,036 --> 00:14:33,289
The Sheriff's Office here said
they had no idea where the boys were.

113
00:14:35,083 --> 00:14:36,250
First lie.

114
00:14:39,420 --> 00:14:42,298
By who? Sheriff's Office
or Civil Rights Office?

115
00:14:42,590 --> 00:14:44,550
Who would you believe?

116
00:14:44,717 --> 00:14:46,594
Mr Ward, | don't know
if you knew it or not,

117
00:14:46,761 --> 00:14:49,305
but | was a sheriff in a little
Mississippi town just like this.

118
00:14:49,472 --> 00:14:52,767
- Yes, I'm aware of that.
- Well, lyin' just don't come into it.

119
00:14:52,934 --> 00:14:54,936
We were right on the border,
ten miles from Memphis,

120
00:14:55,103 --> 00:14:56,896
and a million miles
from the rest of the world.

121
00:14:57,063 --> 00:14:59,649
If a sheriff in a little town like this
says that's what happened,

122
00:14:59,816 --> 00:15:01,859
then that's what happened.

123
00:15:02,068 --> 00:15:03,486
Let's go eat.

124
00:15:18,668 --> 00:15:21,504
We're full up right now, honey.
Y'all wanna wait a while?

125
00:15:21,671 --> 00:15:22,839
Is the wait worth it?

126
00:15:23,005 --> 00:15:26,467
We're not full for nothin', sugar.
Y'all wanna look at a menu while you wait?

127
00:15:26,634 --> 00:15:28,386
- Sure enough.
- Thank you.

128
00:15:29,846 --> 00:15:32,014
Well, what y'all gonna do?
W ait or leave?

129
00:15:32,557 --> 00:15:35,435
We're gonna wait cos
we wanna be near you.

130
00:15:36,227 --> 00:15:39,397
- There are some empty seats down there.
- Uh, Mr Ward...

131
00:15:40,731 --> 00:15:43,276
That's coloured down there.
Don't even think about it.

132
00:15:43,443 --> 00:15:45,862
There are some people over here
gettin' ready to leave right now.

133
00:15:46,028 --> 00:15:47,905
Aren't you hungry, Mr Anderson?

134
00:15:57,331 --> 00:15:58,916
Good afternoon.

135
00:15:59,083 --> 00:16:00,334
Looks good.

136
00:16:11,095 --> 00:16:13,764
Do you mind if | ask
you a few questions?

137
00:16:14,307 --> 00:16:16,392
I'm looking for some information.

138
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,355
| ain't got nothin' to say to you, sir.

139
00:16:21,564 --> 00:16:23,441
Just a few questions.

140
00:16:27,778 --> 00:16:29,572
| ain't got nothin' to say to you, sir.

141
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:54,597
Three Civil Rights boys came here to
propose setting up a voter registration clinic.

142
00:16:55,097 --> 00:16:58,601
Before the locals got a chance to say
yes, the Klan burned 'em down.

143
00:16:58,768 --> 00:17:00,645
You give a man a vote
but don't let him use it.

144
00:17:00,811 --> 00:17:02,522
Yeah, that's the way it works.

145
00:17:03,105 --> 00:17:04,982
What did their office
in Rossville have to say?

146
00:17:05,149 --> 00:17:09,028
They confirmed that the boys came back
here to apologise to the congregation.

147
00:17:09,195 --> 00:17:11,614
"Sorry you folks didn't get to vote."

148
00:17:11,781 --> 00:17:14,825
"l suppose most of you
never knew you even had one."

149
00:17:15,910 --> 00:17:18,079
"Now you got no place to go on Sunday."

150
00:17:20,373 --> 00:17:24,418
Apparently, after they came back here,
they talked to some locals down the road.

151
00:17:24,585 --> 00:17:26,128
| think that's where we should start.

152
00:17:26,295 --> 00:17:28,506
You can talk to 'em
but they won't talk to you.

153
00:17:30,132 --> 00:17:33,386
These people have to live here
long after we've packed up and gone.

154
00:17:33,553 --> 00:17:36,180
They'd rather bite their tongue off
than talk to us.

155
00:17:36,347 --> 00:17:38,099
Bureau procedure, Mr Anderson.

156
00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:49,735
The church caught fire and
you ran home. Is that correct?

157
00:17:50,152 --> 00:17:51,612
Yes, sir.

158
00:17:51,779 --> 00:17:54,323
And then the four white men stopped you?

159
00:17:54,615 --> 00:17:55,992
Yes, sir.

160
00:17:56,242 --> 00:17:58,911
And these four white men
attacked your husband?

161
00:17:59,745 --> 00:18:01,163
Yes, sir.

162
00:18:02,123 --> 00:18:04,125
But you can't identify them.

163
00:18:06,460 --> 00:18:07,712
No, sir.

164
00:18:08,713 --> 00:18:11,132
Did you report this to the police?

165
00:18:11,507 --> 00:18:12,675
No, sir.

166
00:18:14,093 --> 00:18:16,846
But you told the Civil Rights
boys what happened?

167
00:18:17,013 --> 00:18:18,389
Yes, sir.

168
00:18:19,390 --> 00:18:22,935
Ma'am, did they tell you
where they were going after that?

169
00:18:26,689 --> 00:18:28,024
No, sir.

170
00:18:28,274 --> 00:18:29,900
Nothing?

171
00:18:30,067 --> 00:18:31,777
No, sir.

172
00:18:34,030 --> 00:18:36,532
All right.
Thank you, ma'am.

173
00:18:36,699 --> 00:18:38,242
You're welcome.

174
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:54,258
Come on, boy. Open up.

175
00:18:56,302 --> 00:18:58,971
- Is your brother Hollis here, Fennis?
- Yes, sir.

176
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:01,390
Well, wake his ass up.
We wanna see him.

177
00:19:01,557 --> 00:19:03,392
- Why?
- Just wake him up, boy.

178
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:04,769
That's the man.

179
00:19:04,935 --> 00:19:07,647
- There you are, nigger trash!
- Come here, boy!

180
00:19:08,522 --> 00:19:09,982
Come here, boy!

181
00:19:10,608 --> 00:19:12,360
= ISR IR

182
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:15,404
Get your ass back here,
you fuckin' nigger!

183
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:17,782
= ISR IR

184
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:38,052
We better not catch you talkin'
to the FBI. Or you'll be dead, boy.

185
00:19:38,219 --> 00:19:39,679
Real dead.

186
00:19:57,571 --> 00:19:59,907
You admire these kids, don't you?

187
00:20:00,991 --> 00:20:02,451
Don't you?

188
00:20:03,661 --> 00:20:05,538
| think they're bein' used.

189
00:20:06,831 --> 00:20:10,418
| think they're being sent down here
in their Volkswagens and sneakers

190
00:20:10,584 --> 00:20:12,294
just to get their heads cracked open.

191
00:20:12,461 --> 00:20:16,006
Did it ever occur to you that maybe
they believed in what they were doing?

192
00:20:16,173 --> 00:20:18,384
Did it ever occur to them
they were gonna end up dead?

193
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:19,760
Maybe.

194
00:20:20,511 --> 00:20:22,805
In Washington they sure as hell knew,
o Teo R 1al=\VA

195
00:20:24,056 --> 00:20:25,850
Some things are worth dying for.

196
00:20:28,519 --> 00:20:31,272
Well, down here they see things
a little differently.

197
00:20:33,566 --> 00:20:36,444
People down here feel some things
are worth killin' for.

198
00:20:40,322 --> 00:20:44,076
Where does it come from,
all this hatred?

199
00:20:46,829 --> 00:20:48,664
You know, when | was a little boy...

200
00:20:49,915 --> 00:20:53,169
...there was an old Negro farmer lived
down the road from us, name of Monroe.

201
00:20:54,086 --> 00:20:55,629
And he was...

202
00:20:56,255 --> 00:20:59,133
Well, | guess he was just
a little luckier than my daddy was.

203
00:21:03,971 --> 00:21:05,890
He bought himself a mule.

204
00:21:07,683 --> 00:21:12,938
That was a big deal around that town.
My daddy hated that mule.

205
00:21:13,731 --> 00:21:19,361
Cos his friends were always kidding that they
saw Monroe out ploughin' with his new mule

206
00:21:19,528 --> 00:21:23,908
and Monroe was gonna rent another field
now that he had a mule.

207
00:21:25,868 --> 00:21:28,871
One morning that mule just showed up dead.

208
00:21:31,123 --> 00:21:32,750
They'd poisoned the water.

209
00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:38,255
And after that, there was never any mention
about that mule around my daddy.

210
00:21:38,422 --> 00:21:39,799
Just never came up.

211
00:21:43,511 --> 00:21:46,347
One time, we were drivin' down the road
and we passed Monroe's place

212
00:21:46,514 --> 00:21:47,973
and we saw it was empty.

213
00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:51,143
He'd just packed up and left, | guess.
Gone up North or somethin'.

214
00:21:54,271 --> 00:21:56,732
| looked over at my daddy's face...

215
00:21:59,276 --> 00:22:01,320
...and | knew he'd done it.

216
00:22:01,821 --> 00:22:05,699
And he saw that | knew.
He was ashamed.

217
00:22:06,992 --> 00:22:08,953
| guess he was ashamed.

218
00:22:11,413 --> 00:22:13,374
He looked at me and he said...

219
00:22:14,416 --> 00:22:18,128
..."If you ain't any better than a nigger,
son, who are you better than?"

220
00:22:20,548 --> 00:22:22,424
Do you think that's an excuse?

221
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:25,761
No, it's not an excuse.
It's just a story about my daddy.

222
00:22:31,225 --> 00:22:33,143
Where does that leave you?

223
00:22:33,894 --> 00:22:35,938
With an old man who was
just so full of hate

224
00:22:36,105 --> 00:22:39,608
that he didn't know that bein' poor
was what was killin' him.

225
00:22:49,118 --> 00:22:51,370
Get the light! Get the light!

226
00:22:53,330 --> 00:22:54,582
You all right?

227
00:23:05,759 --> 00:23:07,136
| guess they know we're here.

228
00:23:44,256 --> 00:23:46,342
Now you know what you're gettin' into.

229
00:23:46,926 --> 00:23:49,428
I'm gonna call Washington.
| need more agents.

230
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:53,474
Would it make any difference if | told you
that's exactly the wrong thing to do?

231
00:24:42,898 --> 00:24:45,776
The whole place for 75 a month.

232
00:24:46,026 --> 00:24:48,320
It's private.
It's central. It's perfect.

233
00:24:49,321 --> 00:24:52,616
There's room for 100 more agents.
200, maybe.

234
00:24:52,783 --> 00:24:54,201
More in the balcony.

235
00:24:54,368 --> 00:24:57,371
We're just trying to find the three boys,
Mr Anderson.

236
00:24:57,538 --> 00:24:59,081
I'll take all the help | can get.

237
00:25:02,001 --> 00:25:03,627
When's the show start?

238
00:25:58,223 --> 00:26:01,560
- Who's the big shot?
- It's the Klan.

239
00:26:02,519 --> 00:26:05,981
No pointy hats
but plenty of pointy heads.

240
00:26:07,149 --> 00:26:09,610
Let me run a check on the plates.

241
00:26:40,015 --> 00:26:41,767
Good afternoon, gentlemen.

242
00:26:42,768 --> 00:26:43,852
Anderson.

243
00:26:44,019 --> 00:26:46,146
Why don't you say hello to our mayor,
Mr Tilman, here.

244
00:26:46,522 --> 00:26:49,525
- How do you do, Anderson?
- Mr Mayor. Mr Barber.

245
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:55,364
Well, this looks like the place to be.
Even for me.

246
00:26:57,074 --> 00:27:00,244
Nothin' like a barbershop
for jawin' your socks off.

247
00:27:01,453 --> 00:27:03,330
Where you from anyway, Anderson?

248
00:27:03,497 --> 00:27:07,167
Barton, Mississippi, sir.
Just a spit from Tennessee.

249
00:27:07,334 --> 00:27:10,712
Well, then you must know
how we all feel down here.

250
00:27:10,879 --> 00:27:14,466
We don't take to outsiders tellin' us
how to live our lives.

251
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:17,177
And I'm here to tell ya,
our nigras were happy,

252
00:27:17,344 --> 00:27:20,848
till those beatnik college kids came
down here stirrin' things up.

253
00:27:21,014 --> 00:27:23,433
Before that,
there wasn't anybody complainin’.

254
00:27:24,643 --> 00:27:26,562
Nobody dared.

255
00:27:27,938 --> 00:27:31,108
We got a real peaceful little community
down here, Anderson.

256
00:27:31,275 --> 00:27:33,986
Course, they're just like any other folks,
| reckon.

257
00:27:34,153 --> 00:27:35,988
When you push 'em too far.

258
00:27:36,155 --> 00:27:40,951
The way | figure it...
it's like three sticks of old dynamite.

259
00:27:41,118 --> 00:27:45,414
You shake it up and we're gonna
be scrapin' bodies off the street.

260
00:27:46,915 --> 00:27:50,836
I'm just down here to investigate the
missing three kids, ask some questions.

261
00:27:51,003 --> 00:27:53,547
If this all boiled down to gravy...

262
00:27:53,714 --> 00:27:56,884
there wouldn't be enough to cover up
a chicken-fried steak.

263
00:27:57,050 --> 00:28:01,138
Them kids you're lookin' for?
I'd just about bet you a shiny new dime

264
00:28:01,305 --> 00:28:05,225
they're setting up in Chicago right now,
drinkin' a cold beer

265
00:28:05,392 --> 00:28:09,229
and havin' a big laugh about all the
commotion they've stirred up down here.

266
00:28:09,396 --> 00:28:10,731
Well, | sure hope so.

267
00:28:11,315 --> 00:28:16,612
You can tell your bosses...
people got the wrong idea about the South.

268
00:28:16,904 --> 00:28:18,655
You know what I'm talkin' about.

269
00:28:19,281 --> 00:28:22,910
Everybody runnin' around ragged,
backwards and illiterate...

270
00:28:23,076 --> 00:28:26,747
eatin' sow belly and corn pone
three times a day.

271
00:28:26,914 --> 00:28:30,542
Simple fact is, Anderson, we got two
cultures down here.

272
00:28:31,084 --> 00:28:34,713
White culture and a coloured culture.

273
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:39,384
That's the way it always has been.
That's the way it always will be.

274
00:28:39,551 --> 00:28:41,762
The rest of America don't see it that way,
Mr Mayor.

275
00:28:41,929 --> 00:28:46,266
The rest of America don't mean jack shit.
You in Mississippi now.

276
00:28:47,017 --> 00:28:48,727
Oh, that's for sure!

277
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,232
What's the score, Mr Barber?

278
00:28:53,398 --> 00:28:55,651
St Louis on top, five to nothing.

279
00:28:55,817 --> 00:28:57,986
- What innings?
- Bottom of the seventh.

280
00:28:58,153 --> 00:29:00,322
You like baseball, do you, Anderson?

281
00:29:00,489 --> 00:29:02,616
Yeah, | do. You know...

282
00:29:03,450 --> 00:29:05,327
It's the only time...

283
00:29:05,494 --> 00:29:10,415
when a black man can wave a stick at
a white man and not start a riot.

284
00:29:27,099 --> 00:29:28,267
S

285
00:29:29,101 --> 00:29:32,312
We checked on the plate, sir.
Clayton Townley.

286
00:29:32,479 --> 00:29:33,897
Townley.

287
00:29:34,064 --> 00:29:36,817
Grand Wizard of the White Knights
of the Ku Klux Klan.

288
00:29:36,984 --> 00:29:39,653
That's him. And | think
we have a lead on the car.

289
00:29:39,820 --> 00:29:43,740
A Choctaw on the reservation thinks he
knows where it is. I'm waiting for a call.

290
00:29:43,907 --> 00:29:44,825
Good.

291
00:30:00,841 --> 00:30:03,468
You have your appointment
for next Tuesday?

292
00:30:03,635 --> 00:30:05,470
I'll see you then. Bye-bye.

293
00:30:32,497 --> 00:30:33,665
Afternoon, ladies.

294
00:30:35,334 --> 00:30:36,918
Can | help you?

295
00:30:37,085 --> 00:30:40,005
Well, yes, you can.
| tell you, | just...

296
00:30:40,172 --> 00:30:41,923
| hate the way | look.
You know?

297
00:30:42,090 --> 00:30:46,345
What do you think? A permanent wave, maybe?
Or a bleach job?

298
00:30:47,346 --> 00:30:49,890
That looks pretty good.
Do you have that done in here?

299
00:30:50,057 --> 00:30:51,350
No. Jackson.

300
00:30:51,516 --> 00:30:53,560
| think a wig's your only hope, hon.

301
00:30:53,727 --> 00:30:56,438
You ain't gonna be able to do much
with that cue ball.

302
00:30:58,774 --> 00:31:02,861
If you wanna ask us some questions,
this is where you'll hear it all.

303
00:31:03,028 --> 00:31:05,614
Yeah, matter of fact, | do.

304
00:31:06,031 --> 00:31:09,493
| was wonderin' who that gentleman was
that just drove in over there.

305
00:31:09,659 --> 00:31:13,622
- | know that isn't President Johnson.
- His name's Townley. Clayton Townley.

306
00:31:13,789 --> 00:31:17,542
- Are you one of them FBI gentlemen?
- Yes, ma'am, | am.

307
00:31:17,709 --> 00:31:21,004
Well, if you ask me, | think it's a shame
if those two kids are dead,

308
00:31:21,171 --> 00:31:22,756
but | sure hope you find ‘em.

309
00:31:22,923 --> 00:31:24,007
Thank you.

310
00:31:24,174 --> 00:31:27,302
Actually, there's three kids that are missin'.
There's a coloured kid also.

311
00:31:27,469 --> 00:31:30,138
Do you honestly think
your people'd be down here at all

312
00:31:30,305 --> 00:31:32,182
if it weren't for those two white boys?

313
00:31:32,349 --> 00:31:34,434
- Maybe not, miss.
.Y I

314
00:31:34,851 --> 00:31:38,855
Pell. Her old man's Ray Stuckey's deputy.

315
00:31:41,024 --> 00:31:42,526
But I'm single.

316
00:32:02,379 --> 00:32:04,172
Move out of the way.

317
00:32:07,217 --> 00:32:09,761
Move over, boy.
We'll take care of this.

318
00:32:09,928 --> 00:32:11,221
It's a local problem.

319
00:32:11,388 --> 00:32:14,266
We'll handle this.
We don't need your damn help.

320
00:32:16,768 --> 00:32:21,440
It ain't right havin' blood on Main Street.
How'd that look on the TV news?

321
00:32:23,150 --> 00:32:25,902
- Get up.
- OK, | got him. | got him.

322
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:31,533
That's the kid from the diner.

323
00:32:31,700 --> 00:32:35,495
Maybe you'll think twice before you talk
to coloured kids with an audience.

324
00:32:35,662 --> 00:32:39,040
They're sending a message from the big
boss from Tupelo, and you know it.

325
00:32:39,207 --> 00:32:41,793
| know it, yes. Clayton Townley,
Chief Pointy Head.

326
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,713
Yeah, that's right.
How did you know?

327
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,466
Bureau procedure, Mr Ward.
You ought to try it sometime.

328
00:32:47,632 --> 00:32:51,303
We did. We found the car
the kids were driving.

329
00:33:32,093 --> 00:33:33,553
Good morning.

330
00:33:42,771 --> 00:33:44,231
Good morning.

331
00:35:05,562 --> 00:35:08,857
Two beer cans, a Coca-Cola bottle,
a green plastic bottle,

332
00:35:09,024 --> 00:35:12,485
a badly burned wristwatch
stopped at 12.45 and a set of keys.

333
00:35:12,652 --> 00:35:14,404
No bodies.

334
00:35:14,571 --> 00:35:17,616
| want the entire area searched.
Every inch.

335
00:35:17,782 --> 00:35:20,118
Yes, sir.
It's a big swamp.

336
00:35:20,285 --> 00:35:22,329
Every inch, Mr Bird.

337
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:28,418
| guess they never left Mississippi.

338
00:35:30,045 --> 00:35:31,504
They're dead.

339
00:35:31,671 --> 00:35:32,964
They're dead.

340
00:35:33,632 --> 00:35:35,091
Mr Bird?

341
00:35:35,842 --> 00:35:37,135
Yes, sir?

342
00:35:37,302 --> 00:35:39,429
There's a telephone
back at the truck stop.

343
00:35:39,596 --> 00:35:44,017
Get to it, get on it, and get me
100 more men here by morning.

344
00:35:44,351 --> 00:35:45,393
uHolos

345
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:46,645
100.

346
00:35:46,811 --> 00:35:48,063
Bureau people, sir?

347
00:35:48,229 --> 00:35:52,442
| don't care if it's the goddamn army!
| want this entire swamp searched!

348
00:35:52,734 --> 00:35:54,069
Yes, sir.

349
00:35:56,655 --> 00:36:00,867
Don't do it, Mr Ward.
You'll just start a war.

350
00:36:01,034 --> 00:36:03,620
It was a war long before we got here.

351
00:36:53,837 --> 00:36:55,463
NG R Nt

352
00:37:01,344 --> 00:37:03,763
Get the fuck outta here now!

353
00:37:44,512 --> 00:37:45,555
S w4

354
00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:49,142
The Sheriff's alibi is solid.

355
00:37:49,309 --> 00:37:52,020
He was playing poker
with his wife's brother and two cousins.

356
00:37:52,187 --> 00:37:53,396
BN aER Y ale R 0 e l= Y

357
00:37:53,563 --> 00:37:56,858
For three hours.
Y Rt

358
00:37:57,817 --> 00:37:59,569
There's something else, sir.

359
00:37:59,736 --> 00:38:02,447
We're having a little trouble
with the motel manager.

360
00:38:02,614 --> 00:38:04,157
What kind of trouble?

361
00:38:04,324 --> 00:38:06,701
He wants us out.
He says we're bad for business.

362
00:38:07,285 --> 00:38:08,536
Buy it.

363
00:38:08,703 --> 00:38:10,580
Sorry, sir?

364
00:38:11,122 --> 00:38:14,417
Buy it!
The motel.

365
00:38:14,793 --> 00:38:18,338
- How high can | go?
- Whatever it takes.

366
00:38:41,361 --> 00:38:43,363
Today in Jessup County,
Mississippi...

367
00:38:43,530 --> 00:38:46,157
amidst the violence
that has erupted here this week,

368
00:38:46,324 --> 00:38:48,910
the eyes of the nation
have been firmly fixed

369
00:38:49,077 --> 00:38:51,663
on the search for the three
missing Civil Rights workers.

370
00:38:51,830 --> 00:38:56,960
| think it's all a big hoax, but if they are
in that there swamp then they asked for it.

371
00:38:57,126 --> 00:39:00,964
Naval reserves have been
brought in to join scores of FBI agents

372
00:39:01,130 --> 00:39:03,007
in their search for the missing men.

373
00:39:03,174 --> 00:39:04,926
| think they planned the whole thing,

374
00:39:05,093 --> 00:39:07,762
sittin' up there in New York laughin'
at us Mississippi folks.

375
00:39:07,929 --> 00:39:09,138
You think it's a hoax?

376
00:39:09,305 --> 00:39:12,934
Yeah, | think so. | think it's a big hoax.
They ain't gonna find nothin'.

377
00:39:13,101 --> 00:39:17,480
Civil rights leaders here are still optimistic
as to the young men's whereabouts.

378
00:39:17,647 --> 00:39:22,068
But privately there is mounting concern
that they will ever be found alive.

379
00:39:22,235 --> 00:39:24,863
They came down here lookin' for trouble
and | think they found it.

380
00:39:25,029 --> 00:39:29,409
This is Marek Barelbobi, Network News,
Jessup County, Mississippi.

381
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,414
Tell you what | think
they oughta be doin'.

382
00:39:34,581 --> 00:39:38,501
Lookin' up in Canada for them boys,
instead of our swamps around here.

383
00:39:38,668 --> 00:39:40,253
I'll tell you somethin' else too.

384
00:39:40,420 --> 00:39:44,632
| think it's a publicity stunt
dreamed up by these NAAC people.

385
00:39:44,799 --> 00:39:47,218
- NAAC people?
- NAACP.

386
00:39:47,385 --> 00:39:49,637
Bet you all don't even know
what it stands for.

387
00:39:49,804 --> 00:39:52,765
Stands for Niggers, Alligators, Apes,
Coons and Possums.

388
00:39:52,932 --> 00:39:55,727
Tell you what you got.
You got your NAACP.

389
00:39:55,894 --> 00:39:59,314
You got your SNCC. You got your COFO.

390
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:04,027
You know what all that mess is?
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T.

391
00:40:04,193 --> 00:40:05,320
You got it?

392
00:40:09,866 --> 00:40:14,871
One day there'll come a time when we won't
have to say, Good morning, sir, Mr Sheriff."

393
00:40:15,496 --> 00:40:19,292
Maybe there'll come a time when we won't
have to say, "Mr Stuckey."

394
00:40:19,918 --> 00:40:23,880
One day there'll come a time when
we'll just say "Stuckey" or "Sheriff".

395
00:40:24,547 --> 00:40:28,134
And one day there'll come a time when
the sheriff won't even be a white man.

396
00:40:40,521 --> 00:40:41,648
Hello.

397
00:40:45,652 --> 00:40:48,237
| wonder if | could ask you a few questions.

398
00:40:48,613 --> 00:40:52,367
| don't suppose you could tell me what
kind of flower these are, could you?

399
00:40:53,201 --> 00:40:56,537
| been seein' 'em all over
the place here and...

400
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,707
Never saw such a darn pretty plant.

401
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,379
- They're trumpet-pitchers.
- Trumpet-pitchers?

402
00:41:05,296 --> 00:41:07,674
They're beautiful.
They really are.

403
00:41:08,132 --> 00:41:11,219
They don't smell so good
but they're pretty.

404
00:41:15,765 --> 00:41:17,183
It's nice talkin' to you.

405
00:41:17,850 --> 00:41:22,939
Sorry about interruptin' your meeting here
but we can't seem to get anybody to talk to us.

406
00:41:23,106 --> 00:41:25,108
They just zip up,
like my mumma used to say.

407
00:41:25,441 --> 00:41:27,485
The reason people don't wanna talk to you

408
00:41:27,652 --> 00:41:30,154
is because they're afraid
it'll get back to the law.

409
00:41:30,321 --> 00:41:33,241
- We are the law.
- Not around here, you ain't.

410
00:41:33,866 --> 00:41:37,328
We were sent here to find out what
happened to those three boys.

411
00:41:38,788 --> 00:41:40,081
They were here to help you.

412
00:41:40,248 --> 00:41:42,417
It ain't coloured folks
you should be talking to.

413
00:41:43,334 --> 00:41:45,378
Who should we be talking to?

414
00:41:45,586 --> 00:41:47,213
Come on, Aaron.

415
00:41:48,756 --> 00:41:50,967
You should start with the Sheriff's Office.

416
00:41:53,302 --> 00:41:55,013
Why aren't you afraid?

417
00:41:55,179 --> 00:41:57,098
- How come you ain't?
- Aaron?

418
00:41:59,267 --> 00:42:01,144
Aaron, come on, son.

419
00:42:14,907 --> 00:42:18,119
Here's the pitch.
Swing and a line-drive base hit.

420
00:42:18,286 --> 00:42:19,704
Another runner's home.

421
00:42:23,332 --> 00:42:26,919
Onto the next pitch, by the look of
Bob Gibson, he is upset.

422
00:42:27,086 --> 00:42:28,337
Ron Hunt's in the centre.

423
00:42:28,504 --> 00:42:31,883
Hickman rounded third and scored
the Mets' second run of the game.

424
00:42:32,050 --> 00:42:34,969
Hunt holds on at first, and the Mets
now lead two to one.

425
00:42:36,596 --> 00:42:39,515
The next one up there will be
Joe Christopher...

426
00:42:46,981 --> 00:42:49,901
Good evening, Mrs Pell.
I'm Agent Ward.

427
00:42:50,068 --> 00:42:52,904
This is Agent Anderson.
We're with the FBI.

428
00:42:53,821 --> 00:42:58,034
Is your husband home?
We'd like to have a word with him.

429
00:42:59,327 --> 00:43:01,329
Y'all come in, then.

430
00:43:07,919 --> 00:43:11,297
It's the FBI gentlemen, Clinton. They
wanna ask you some more questions.

431
00:43:12,507 --> 00:43:14,842
You want me to put your dinner in the oven?

432
00:43:17,345 --> 00:43:18,888
Leave us alone.

433
00:43:20,098 --> 00:43:21,682
Mind if | take a seat?

434
00:43:25,895 --> 00:43:28,606
What's so goddamn important
you got to bother me at home?

435
00:43:28,773 --> 00:43:34,153
Well, | just wanted to run through once
again your movements on June 21st.

436
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:35,530
June which?

437
00:43:36,405 --> 00:43:38,241
NI -

438
00:43:38,407 --> 00:43:43,621
Deputy, we both know what day we're
talking about, so let's do this civilised,

439
00:43:43,788 --> 00:43:48,209
and the sooner you can get back to your
ball game and we can get back to Washington.

440
00:43:58,553 --> 00:44:01,055
Please, don't let me interrupt you.

441
00:44:01,889 --> 00:44:06,936
It's just when you've heard a question
asked a dozen times, it gets kinda boring.

442
00:44:07,979 --> 00:44:10,273
Yeah, | guess so.

443
00:44:16,696 --> 00:44:18,156
You don't eat together?

444
00:44:18,489 --> 00:44:20,741
He works funny hours.

445
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:24,328
You think that's odd?

446
00:44:24,495 --> 00:44:27,915
No. No, | work funny hours myself.

447
00:44:30,501 --> 00:44:33,337
| eat when I'm hungry.
He eats when he can.

448
00:44:33,504 --> 00:44:36,424
- Can | get you somethin'?
- No, no.

449
00:44:36,591 --> 00:44:40,469
Thanks. This is a nice house.
How long have you lived here?

450
00:44:40,636 --> 00:44:42,263
| was born here.

451
00:44:42,805 --> 00:44:46,934
But my father lost the house in
a poker game one night a long time ago.

452
00:44:48,394 --> 00:44:51,606
We've been payin' rent ever since.

453
00:44:54,233 --> 00:44:56,027
It's a wicked game.

454
00:44:59,572 --> 00:45:00,823
Poker.

455
00:45:02,241 --> 00:45:03,618
Wicked.

456
00:45:04,452 --> 00:45:06,037
Mr Anderson?

457
00:45:08,998 --> 00:45:12,043
It's nice talkin' to you.
Guess | gotta go.

458
00:45:16,088 --> 00:45:19,133
Them pork chops still any good, honey?
Bring me a beer, will you?

459
00:45:19,300 --> 00:45:20,676
Good night.

460
00:45:22,053 --> 00:45:25,389
Let's get back to baseball.
You know what they say, don't you?

461
00:45:25,556 --> 00:45:28,017
It's the only game where
a black man can wave a stick...

462
00:45:28,184 --> 00:45:30,186
| know.
| already heard that one.

463
00:45:35,942 --> 00:45:39,195
Fifty minutes of his alibi
hinges on his wife.

464
00:45:39,362 --> 00:45:41,405
You talked to her.
What's she like?

465
00:45:41,572 --> 00:45:42,615
She's a nice lady.

466
00:45:42,782 --> 00:45:44,617
Tell me, Mr Anderson.

467
00:45:44,784 --> 00:45:48,371
- How does a woman like that end up...
- With Shithead in there?

468
00:45:48,537 --> 00:45:50,373
You know what these small towns are like.

469
00:45:50,539 --> 00:45:54,919
A girl spends her entire time in high school
lookin' for the guy she's gonna marry

470
00:45:55,086 --> 00:45:57,588
and spends the rest of her life
tryin' to figure out why.

471
00:45:57,755 --> 00:46:00,049
There's something wrong with him.
He's too confident.

472
00:46:00,216 --> 00:46:02,885
- Did you see the wedding photograph?
- No.

473
00:46:03,052 --> 00:46:04,512
His three pals are ushers.

474
00:46:04,679 --> 00:46:07,139
They had this way of hooking
their thumbs in their belts

475
00:46:07,306 --> 00:46:09,934
with their three fingers
pointing down like that.

476
00:46:10,101 --> 00:46:12,645
So what is that?
Some sort of Masonic thing?

477
00:46:14,397 --> 00:46:16,107
€

478
00:46:21,112 --> 00:46:22,822
| know you ain't drunk...

479
00:46:23,948 --> 00:46:26,325
- I'm not drunk.
- All right. You ain't drunk.

480
00:46:27,368 --> 00:46:29,954
I'm just gonna take you
where you can sleep it off.

481
00:46:30,913 --> 00:46:32,748
All right. Hold up.

482
00:46:36,168 --> 00:46:37,545
Watch your head.

483
00:47:32,224 --> 00:47:33,601
Hi. Uh...

484
00:47:33,768 --> 00:47:37,104
There was a couple of things
| needed to check with you.

485
00:47:37,438 --> 00:47:39,023
My husband's not here.

486
00:47:39,648 --> 00:47:42,485
Well, actually, it was you
| wanted to talk to.

487
00:47:45,404 --> 00:47:48,157
OK. Well, you'd better come in, then.

488
00:47:52,161 --> 00:47:53,871
Just take a minute.

489
00:47:54,038 --> 00:47:57,416
My boss, he's kind of a pain.
You know, the college kid.

490
00:47:57,583 --> 00:48:00,961
He has to dot all the 'i's
and cross all the 't's.

491
00:48:01,128 --> 00:48:03,047
What is it you wanted to ask me about?

492
00:48:03,214 --> 00:48:06,801
Well, it's a time type thing
we're not so clear about.

493
00:48:06,967 --> 00:48:09,845
Would it be better if | put your flowers
in some water while you're here?

494
00:48:10,012 --> 00:48:11,764
Yeah. Actually they're for you.

495
00:48:13,182 --> 00:48:14,433
They're beautiful.

496
00:48:15,726 --> 00:48:17,478
They are pretty, aren't they?

497
00:48:17,812 --> 00:48:20,398
They don't smell so nice
but they're pretty.

498
00:48:21,482 --> 00:48:23,901
Can | get you anything?
Would you like some tea?

499
00:48:24,068 --> 00:48:25,319
Yeah. Thanks.

500
00:48:41,252 --> 00:48:44,422
Oh, don't you look at that.
It's a terrible photo.

501
00:48:44,588 --> 00:48:47,091
Oh, | don't know about that.

502
00:48:47,675 --> 00:48:50,970
- Is this recent?
- No. | wish.

503
00:48:51,262 --> 00:48:54,014
Well, this here looks recent to me.

504
00:48:54,181 --> 00:48:56,684
We were married 14 years ago.

505
00:48:56,851 --> 00:48:59,228
Are you kidding me? No!

506
00:48:59,395 --> 00:49:01,063
Come on.

507
00:49:01,230 --> 00:49:03,274
- You take sugar?
- Sure do.

508
00:49:04,733 --> 00:49:08,946
- You know, | grew up in a town like this.
- You were smart enough to leave.

509
00:49:09,321 --> 00:49:10,865
Why didn't you?

510
00:49:11,323 --> 00:49:13,576
"For better or for worse."

511
00:49:17,246 --> 00:49:18,539
How about you?

512
00:49:19,123 --> 00:49:21,584
- Are you married?
RV}

513
00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:24,837
Well, | was, as | remember.

514
00:49:25,421 --> 00:49:27,590
It didn't last very long.
| was never home.

515
00:49:28,174 --> 00:49:34,346
| guess she got fed up with phone calls
from Miami, postcards from Des Moines.

516
00:49:35,347 --> 00:49:37,016
There was always a guy around.

517
00:49:38,350 --> 00:49:44,940
Any guy that could spare the time for a movie
or a beer or a quarter for the jukebox.

518
00:49:47,568 --> 00:49:48,944
=R

519
00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:54,533
How about you?

520
00:49:54,992 --> 00:49:57,536
Well, you know the South, Mr Anderson.

521
00:49:58,746 --> 00:50:01,582
You leave high school and marry
the first boy who makes you laugh.

522
00:50:02,791 --> 00:50:04,502
Hey, your husband's quite a guy.

523
00:50:07,463 --> 00:50:11,800
You know, my boss has
this thing about an hour...

524
00:50:11,967 --> 00:50:15,763
50 minutes, to be exact, that your
husband says that he was with you.

525
00:50:20,142 --> 00:50:23,729
- And | guess he was.
N e RV

526
00:50:26,982 --> 00:50:28,192
Well, that's a pity.

527
00:50:30,402 --> 00:50:34,365
Because that means that | don't have an
excuse for hangin' around here any more.

528
00:50:37,201 --> 00:50:38,410
Well...

529
00:50:39,828 --> 00:50:43,207
- Thank you for the iced tea.
- Thank you for the flowers.

530
00:50:43,374 --> 00:50:44,458
Sure.

531
00:50:46,961 --> 00:50:49,004
Do you know what kind they are?

532
00:50:50,339 --> 00:50:52,967
A fellow told me
they're called trumpet-pitchers.

533
00:50:53,133 --> 00:50:54,385
Oh, that's right.

534
00:50:54,552 --> 00:50:58,264
My daddy used to call 'em ladies-from-hell
because they're carni...

535
00:50:58,430 --> 00:51:00,140
- Carnivorous.
- ...Nivorous

536
00:51:00,307 --> 00:51:01,725
- That's the word?
- Yeah.

537
00:51:02,268 --> 00:51:04,270
You see that pretty colour's the bait.

538
00:51:04,436 --> 00:51:09,483
Insects just home on in there and wham, they're
dead even before they got their shoes off.

539
00:51:13,404 --> 00:51:15,823
Maybe | should've picked something
more appropriate.

540
00:51:15,990 --> 00:51:17,116
Maybe.

541
00:52:32,024 --> 00:52:36,111
May the peace and the joy in
the Holy Ghost abide with all of you

542
00:52:36,278 --> 00:52:38,155
for now and for ever. Amen.

543
00:53:47,266 --> 00:53:49,560
You already been told once, nigger.

544
00:53:49,893 --> 00:53:51,770
We don't wanna have to tell you again.

545
00:53:51,937 --> 00:53:53,689
You go makin' any more trouble

546
00:53:53,856 --> 00:53:56,442
by flappin' them boot-lips off
to any of them federal men,

547
00:53:56,608 --> 00:53:59,486
and we sure as hell are gonna have to
put you in the ground, boy,

548
00:53:59,653 --> 00:54:01,405
and that's without a pine box.

549
00:54:03,073 --> 00:54:04,950
You understand me?

550
00:54:17,546 --> 00:54:20,257
How do you think the Negroes
have been treated here in Mississippi?

551
00:54:20,424 --> 00:54:24,553
They're treated about fair.
About as good as they oughta be.

552
00:54:30,559 --> 00:54:35,063
If you ask me, the niggers around here
have been treated awful bad for a long time.

553
00:54:45,365 --> 00:54:48,535
Again, | think Martin Luther King's
one of the leaders.

554
00:54:48,702 --> 00:54:51,747
| mean, J. Edgar Hoover said
that he was a Communist

555
00:54:51,914 --> 00:54:56,585
and they had proof to that effect,
but | don't know that for sure.

556
00:54:56,752 --> 00:54:59,087
| hadn't seen it myself,
but that's what they say.

557
00:55:12,476 --> 00:55:14,812
Hey, you really wanna find that nigger?

558
00:55:14,978 --> 00:55:20,025
They say we've got to eat together and
use the same bathroom as the niggers.

559
00:55:20,192 --> 00:55:23,695
And that's awful hard for
some Mississippi folks to do.

560
00:55:23,862 --> 00:55:27,449
They're not like us.
They don't take baths, they stink.

561
00:55:27,616 --> 00:55:29,660
They... they're nasty.

562
00:55:30,327 --> 00:55:32,704
They're just not like white folks.

563
00:55:38,168 --> 00:55:40,379
What do you think has
happened to the three boys?

564
00:55:40,754 --> 00:55:41,964
Dead.

565
00:55:43,590 --> 00:55:45,717
Just as dead as they can be.

566
00:55:46,385 --> 00:55:48,220
It feels so good.

567
00:55:50,889 --> 00:55:53,433
Is she asleep?
Is she?

568
00:55:54,101 --> 00:55:58,313
Oh, my Lord.
I'm sorry | woke you up.

569
00:56:00,816 --> 00:56:03,819
- Bye, hon. I'll be a couple of hours.
- All right.

570
00:56:04,319 --> 00:56:06,905
Well, Mary, is that your Betsy's kid?

571
00:56:07,281 --> 00:56:10,993
Yeah. She's growin' up
real quick, ain't she?

572
00:56:20,460 --> 00:56:22,838
Tuesday'll be just fine on those, Mary.

573
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:29,845
Funny.

574
00:56:32,264 --> 00:56:34,516
Their kids are so cute.

575
00:56:40,689 --> 00:56:42,858
Is that thing back on me again?

576
00:56:43,233 --> 00:56:45,027
If the entire Secret Service

577
00:56:45,193 --> 00:56:47,154
couldn't protect the President of
the United States,

578
00:56:47,321 --> 00:56:49,990
how in hell are we
supposed to protect a few nigras?

579
00:56:50,449 --> 00:56:53,577
I'm telling you again, it ain't nothin’
but a bunch of lowlife white trash

580
00:56:53,744 --> 00:56:56,038
drinkin' too much cheap alcohol.

581
00:56:56,204 --> 00:56:58,373
More like paint thinner and snake juice,

582
00:56:58,540 --> 00:57:03,337
because this state's as dry as a martini
and we got the alcoholics to prove it.

583
00:57:04,379 --> 00:57:08,342
Give me a little room here.
Excuse me. Excuse me, Bob.

584
00:57:10,177 --> 00:57:12,304
S ER I 0 ¢
- Your name, please?

585
00:57:12,679 --> 00:57:15,557
Clayton Townley.
Local businessman.

586
00:57:15,724 --> 00:57:19,478
Are you, sir, a spokesman for the White
Knights of the Ku Klux Klan?

587
00:57:20,020 --> 00:57:22,773
| told you.
I'm a businessman.

588
00:57:23,065 --> 00:57:26,860
I'm also a Mississippian.
And an American.

589
00:57:27,027 --> 00:57:30,322
And | am getting sick and tired
of the way many of us Mississippians

590
00:57:30,489 --> 00:57:33,951
are havin' our views distorted by you
newspaper people and on the TV.

591
00:57:34,117 --> 00:57:35,827
So let's get this straight.

592
00:57:35,994 --> 00:57:39,539
We do not accept Jews
because they reject Christ.

593
00:57:39,706 --> 00:57:42,751
Their control of the international
banking cartels are at the root

594
00:57:42,918 --> 00:57:45,253
of what we call Communism today.

595
00:57:45,420 --> 00:57:48,799
We do not accept Papists because
they bow to a Roman dictator.

596
00:57:48,966 --> 00:57:52,844
We do not accept Turks, Mongols,
Tartars, Orientals nor Negroes

597
00:57:53,011 --> 00:57:58,225
because we're here to protect Anglo-Saxon
democracy and the American way.

598
00:57:58,392 --> 00:57:59,643
B Ta QY VAT I and

599
00:58:03,188 --> 00:58:06,984
| swear to God, Lester, you are livin'
proof that cousins shouldn't fuck.

600
00:58:09,528 --> 00:58:11,488
What | was tryin' to say...

601
00:58:11,655 --> 00:58:13,073
There's this coloured boy.

602
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,909
He wants to play football for
Bear Bryant over at Alabama.

603
00:58:16,868 --> 00:58:19,079
So Bear says,
"I'm gonna give you a try-out.

604
00:58:19,788 --> 00:58:21,915
What's he gonna run with?
A watermelon?

605
00:58:23,458 --> 00:58:26,003
He's gonna keep on runnin' too.

606
00:58:26,169 --> 00:58:28,964
"OK, boy," he says.
"You get down there on one goal line."

607
00:58:29,297 --> 00:58:32,050
He puts a whole team on the other
goal line, a whole other team.

608
00:58:32,217 --> 00:58:34,219
He throws the boy the ball and says...

609
00:58:39,683 --> 00:58:40,934
Are you open?

610
00:58:41,768 --> 00:58:43,562
You got to be a member to drink here.

611
00:58:44,062 --> 00:58:45,355
A member?

612
00:58:46,606 --> 00:58:47,983
A member of what?

613
00:58:51,778 --> 00:58:53,488
A member of the Social Club.

614
00:58:54,281 --> 00:58:56,283
| thought you'd just buy me a beer.

615
00:58:58,452 --> 00:58:59,953
Give him a beer, Frank.

616
00:59:04,124 --> 00:59:06,752
Nice to be back in a dry county again.

617
00:59:07,210 --> 00:59:10,130
When | was Sheriff,
about half of my take-home pay

618
00:59:10,297 --> 00:59:13,550
was from collectin' taxes
on illegal juice like this.

619
00:59:13,717 --> 00:59:15,218
Probably works the same here.

620
00:59:15,385 --> 00:59:19,556
| would think you'd haul in a tidy penny here,
winkin' at the bootleggers.

621
00:59:19,723 --> 00:59:23,018
- | wouldn't know nothin' about that.
- Thank you. Yeah...

622
00:59:23,810 --> 00:59:25,604
A tidy penny.

623
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,442
A elVeTe1 =T\ 1gale  el gle =Ty
than this, Deputy?

624
00:59:30,609 --> 00:59:32,027
No. No, we ain't.

625
00:59:32,486 --> 00:59:33,528
Oh?

626
00:59:34,112 --> 00:59:37,866
You know, in Thornton, Mississippi,
there's a joy-juice still in every yard.

627
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:43,830
All you need is just some corn
and sugar and a pot to boil it in.

628
00:59:45,499 --> 00:59:48,376
| was tryin' to take the fingerprints
of this old boy one time.

629
00:59:48,543 --> 00:59:50,629
He'd had his hand in the
mash barrel all his life.

630
00:59:50,796 --> 00:59:53,590
There was no skin at all on there.
No prints.

631
00:59:54,132 --> 00:59:57,636
We ain't too interested in your good old
Mississippi boy stories, Anderson.

632
00:59:57,803 --> 00:59:59,221
You ain't from here no more.

633
01:00:01,515 --> 01:00:03,016
Why'd you leave, anyway?

634
01:00:03,433 --> 01:00:07,687
| just wanted a change of scenery.
You know...

635
01:00:09,022 --> 01:00:11,900
...the grits started leavin'
a bad taste in my mouth.

636
01:00:12,192 --> 01:00:15,362
Well, if that's how you feel about it,
Mr FBI Man...

637
01:00:15,529 --> 01:00:18,490
why don't you drink up that beer
and get the hell on outta here

638
01:00:18,657 --> 01:00:21,493
and back to your Commie, nigger-lovin'
bosses up North?

639
01:00:21,660 --> 01:00:26,164
You must not know my boss - Mr Hoover.
He's not too fond of Commies.

640
01:00:26,331 --> 01:00:28,041
He'd be on your side there.

641
01:00:28,208 --> 01:00:32,087
| don't give two shits whose side
your Mr Hoover's on, boy.

642
01:00:32,254 --> 01:00:37,384
All I know is we got 5,000 niggers in this
county who ain't registered to vote yet.

643
01:00:37,551 --> 01:00:40,220
And, as far as I'm concerned,
they never will.

644
01:00:40,387 --> 01:00:43,682
So you can tell your stiff suits
up there in Washington, DC

645
01:00:43,849 --> 01:00:46,518
that they ain't gonna change us one bit.

646
01:00:46,852 --> 01:00:51,690
Unless it's over my dead body.
Or a lot of dead niggers.

647
01:00:55,277 --> 01:00:58,405
You'd kill, Frank?
Is that what you're sayin'?

648
01:00:58,738 --> 01:01:02,284
| wouldn't give it no more thought
than wringin' a cat's neck.

649
01:01:03,034 --> 01:01:06,037
And there ain't a court in Mississippi
that'd convict me for it.

650
01:01:06,746 --> 01:01:10,417
How about you, Deputy?
How are you with wringin' necks, huh?

651
01:01:10,750 --> 01:01:13,044
Just keep pushin' me, Hoover boy.

652
01:01:13,211 --> 01:01:15,505
You get this straight,
you cornhole fucker.

653
01:01:15,672 --> 01:01:17,924
You tell your queer-ass
nigger bosses up North

654
01:01:18,091 --> 01:01:20,677
they ain't never gonna find them
Civil Rightsters down here.

655
01:01:20,844 --> 01:01:22,721
So you might as well pack up your bags

656
01:01:22,888 --> 01:01:25,056
and head your ass on back
up North where you belong.

657
01:01:27,267 --> 01:01:29,644
And you get this straight, shit-kicker.

658
01:01:29,811 --> 01:01:32,731
Don't you go mistakin' me
for some whole other body.

659
01:01:32,898 --> 01:01:36,151
You got your brains in your dick if you
think we're just gonna fade away.

660
01:01:36,318 --> 01:01:38,486
We're gonna be here till
this thing's finished.

661
01:01:40,906 --> 01:01:42,490
How about you, Deputy?

662
01:01:44,075 --> 01:01:46,119
Is that gun just for show?

663
01:01:47,037 --> 01:01:49,789
Or do you get to shoot people
once in a while?

664
01:01:57,631 --> 01:01:59,174
Thanks for the beer.

665
01:02:06,097 --> 01:02:12,312
Ask them if they want to help save this
country from the onslaught of integration.

666
01:02:12,479 --> 01:02:14,189
You know what the system is.

667
01:02:14,356 --> 01:02:17,192
They want to throw white children and
coloured children

668
01:02:17,359 --> 01:02:23,073
into the melting pot of integration,
out of which will come a conglomerated,

669
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:26,534
mulatto, mongrel class of people!

670
01:02:26,701 --> 01:02:29,788
Both races will be destroyed
in such a movement.

671
01:02:29,955 --> 01:02:35,085
1, for one, under God will die
before I'll yield one inch

672
01:02:35,252 --> 01:02:37,921
to that kind of a movement in America.

673
01:02:40,215 --> 01:02:42,259
Do you know how much
trouble you've caused?

674
01:02:42,425 --> 01:02:43,927
They've been on the radio all day,

675
01:02:44,094 --> 01:02:47,514
everyone from Townley to the
Governor, talkin' about FBI intimidation.

676
01:02:47,681 --> 01:02:50,600
We're not thugs, Mr Anderson.
We're gonna do this thing my way.

677
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:52,143
| know. Bureau procedure.

678
01:02:52,310 --> 01:02:55,063
And what the hell were you doing at
the beauty parlour?

679
01:02:55,897 --> 01:02:58,400
If that was Bureau business,
| wanna know about it.

680
01:02:58,566 --> 01:03:00,944
If it wasn't, | won't allow it.
Do you understand me?!

681
01:03:01,111 --> 01:03:02,445
Get in here!

682
01:03:04,864 --> 01:03:06,533
You know what your problem is?

683
01:03:06,700 --> 01:03:09,828
You don't know when to speak and when
to shut up! That makes you a fool!

684
01:03:11,246 --> 01:03:14,582
Mrs. Pell ain't gonna say anything to me
her husband don't want her to say.

685
01:03:14,749 --> 01:03:16,668
And I'm not gonna choke it out of her!

686
01:03:16,835 --> 01:03:20,338
This can of worms
only opens from the inside.

687
01:03:26,052 --> 01:03:27,554
| know that.

688
01:03:35,603 --> 01:03:37,355
Freedom! Freedom!

689
01:03:50,744 --> 01:03:52,162
White niggers!

690
01:03:55,999 --> 01:03:58,126
Hurry up! Hurry up!

691
01:03:58,460 --> 01:04:00,628
Freedom! Freedom!

692
01:04:10,889 --> 01:04:12,223
AN e= 1015

693
01:04:19,522 --> 01:04:21,566
Freedom!

694
01:04:54,265 --> 01:04:56,976
- Hi.
- Hey. now!

695
01:04:58,061 --> 01:05:02,482
| was just passing by to say hello.
You're not out watchin' the parade?

696
01:05:02,649 --> 01:05:04,692
How come none of you guys
asked me any questions?

697
01:05:04,859 --> 01:05:07,112
Seems everybody in town's been
talked to 'cept me.

698
01:05:11,032 --> 01:05:14,619
Why don't you send some of them
good-lookin' FBI boys to talk to me?

699
01:05:15,829 --> 01:05:18,790
Sorry about the intrusion.
| was at the hardware store and...

700
01:05:19,416 --> 01:05:21,626
- Pecan?
- I'm sick of pecans.

701
01:05:22,460 --> 01:05:25,630
Freedom! Freedom!

702
01:05:25,797 --> 01:05:29,050
- Are you willing to stand up and fight?
- Yes!

703
01:06:03,042 --> 01:06:05,044
How'd you find out about this?

704
01:06:06,504 --> 01:06:08,631
Bureau procedure, Mr Ward.

705
01:06:20,894 --> 01:06:22,770
Sheriff Stuckey.

706
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,273
He got his phone call.

707
01:06:28,485 --> 01:06:30,403
Wonder who else was called.

708
01:06:32,447 --> 01:06:34,199
Where you goin', boy?

709
01:06:36,034 --> 01:06:37,577
Go on. Get outta here.

710
01:06:54,469 --> 01:06:55,637
Here they come.

711
01:07:04,354 --> 01:07:07,857
- Come on, let's go.
- We'll wait until they go back inside.

712
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:10,527
Get him!

713
01:07:15,323 --> 01:07:17,408
Get him into the goddamn truck!

714
01:07:17,909 --> 01:07:20,036
Get inside, you sons of bitches.

715
01:07:22,163 --> 01:07:24,958
- Come on, let's go!
- Wait until they go back inside!

716
01:07:30,129 --> 01:07:32,632
Come on, Ward.
Let's go. Come on!

717
01:07:33,591 --> 01:07:34,634
Come on!

718
01:08:42,744 --> 01:08:44,370
- Turn left!
- How do you know?

719
01:08:44,537 --> 01:08:45,997
| don't. Just turn left.

720
01:08:49,876 --> 01:08:51,544
BT R e - R i @

721
01:08:52,253 --> 01:08:54,005
Go up that little road there.

722
01:08:58,343 --> 01:08:59,719
Stop, stop.

723
01:09:14,734 --> 01:09:16,778
Oh, crap!

724
01:09:35,046 --> 01:09:37,173
What's wrong with these people?

725
01:09:46,724 --> 01:09:51,479
Mrs Walker, | know this is difficult
for you, but | really need your help.

726
01:09:51,646 --> 01:09:55,608
If you could just persuade
your son to press charges,

727
01:09:55,775 --> 01:09:59,320
then we could pick up the
Deputy at least, right away.

728
01:09:59,487 --> 01:10:01,906
He won't talk to no-one.

729
01:10:02,073 --> 01:10:05,910
- And it won't do no good anyway.
- | promise you, it will.

730
01:10:06,077 --> 01:10:10,707
Leave him alone.
Maybe then they'll let us alone.

731
01:10:23,219 --> 01:10:29,392
If this is a pattern, | guess at least
we know what happened on June 21st.

732
01:10:29,559 --> 01:10:32,311
Pell stopped the three boys
for speeding at 3.00.

733
01:10:32,478 --> 01:10:35,982
He held them in jail until
the Klan could get organised.

734
01:10:36,149 --> 01:10:38,609
Then he released 'em at 10.30.

735
01:10:38,776 --> 01:10:41,154
By that time, his buddies
were ready and waiting.

736
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:44,407
No. Deputy Pell went with 'em that night.
I'm sure of it.

737
01:10:44,574 --> 01:10:45,742
Do you think he'll crack?

738
01:10:45,908 --> 01:10:49,203
Down here they say rattlesnakes
don't commit suicide.

739
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:02,175
Deputy Pell, did you release
the three Civil Rights workers

740
01:11:02,341 --> 01:11:05,470
into the hands of the Klan
on the night of June 21st?

741
01:11:07,013 --> 01:11:09,265
Are you yourself a member of
the Ku Klux Klan?

742
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,227
Have you ever been a member of
the Ku Klux Klan?

743
01:11:14,604 --> 01:11:17,356
Are you familiar
with the term Grand Cyclops?

744
01:11:17,523 --> 01:11:18,983
I've heard of it.

745
01:11:19,150 --> 01:11:23,029
Were you in fact the Grand Cyclops
of the East Mississippi Klavern

746
01:11:23,196 --> 01:11:26,824
of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan
for the past three years?

747
01:11:26,991 --> 01:11:30,995
Objection. My client's already told you,
he's not even a member of the Klan.

748
01:11:31,162 --> 01:11:32,038
Objection?

749
01:11:32,205 --> 01:11:36,167
This is just an interview, sir.
There's really no need to be so formal.

750
01:11:36,334 --> 01:11:39,504
Well, if this is just an interview,
| guess | don't have to stay here, do |?

751
01:11:39,670 --> 01:11:41,339
| got work to do.

752
01:11:44,675 --> 01:11:46,385
| guess you do too, don't you?

753
01:11:46,552 --> 01:11:49,680
Yes, sir, and you can be sure
that we'll do it.

754
01:11:49,972 --> 01:11:51,432
Good luck.

755
01:11:52,975 --> 01:11:55,978
Y'all get enough to indict me,
you know where to find me.

756
01:11:59,816 --> 01:12:01,943
- How'd it go?
- Fine. Just fine.

757
01:12:02,109 --> 01:12:04,403
Don't you worry about a goddamn thing.

758
01:12:04,570 --> 01:12:07,156
- Here he is.
- Are you about to be indicted?

759
01:12:07,323 --> 01:12:10,159
Does the FBI have evidence that
the Sheriff's Office is involved?

760
01:12:10,326 --> 01:12:12,495
Are you cooperating in this investigation?

761
01:12:12,662 --> 01:12:16,499
We're cooperatin', just like we have all along.
Ain't one damn iota of evidence.

762
01:12:16,666 --> 01:12:20,586
- Sir, could you not do that, please?
- Sir, do not do that, please.

763
01:12:22,129 --> 01:12:25,299
You've already been told once!
Get the fuck outta here!

764
01:12:27,510 --> 01:12:31,639
Do we have to tell you 10,000 times?
Get outta here and go back where you belong!

765
01:12:32,056 --> 01:12:33,599
Get outta my face!

766
01:12:34,350 --> 01:12:37,895
Get on outta here and leave us alone!
Leave us alone!

767
01:12:38,604 --> 01:12:41,983
Go on home where you belong, boy!
You're gonna get hurt!

768
01:12:44,110 --> 01:12:47,530
Mr Ward, this is gettin' to be
just about as much as we can take.

769
01:12:47,697 --> 01:12:49,574
| cannot register my complaints more strongly.

770
01:12:49,740 --> 01:12:51,409
- Not now, sir.
- Now, just a minute.

771
01:12:51,576 --> 01:12:55,079
| resent your public pursuit of
my Sheriff's department.

772
01:12:55,246 --> 01:12:58,749
You have made every effort to implicate
them in these disappearances.

773
01:12:58,916 --> 01:13:02,044
But your goddamn slimy innuendoes
are not evidence

774
01:13:02,211 --> 01:13:04,213
that they were in any way
connected with any crime.

775
01:13:04,380 --> 01:13:07,133
We're just trying to get to the truth.
It's frustrating for us too.

776
01:13:07,300 --> 01:13:10,344
Any jackass can point a finger, Ward,
but that ain't evidence.

777
01:13:10,511 --> 01:13:14,849
Down here, us old cotton-choppers are still
stupid enough to believe in democracy.

778
01:13:15,016 --> 01:13:18,144
And you can rest assured, sir,
we know our rights under the law!

779
01:13:18,311 --> 01:13:21,480
You know somethin', all right.
I'd bet a cotton-choppin' dollar on that.

780
01:13:21,647 --> 01:13:24,734
You know what, Anderson?
You're startin' to get so far up my nose,

781
01:13:24,901 --> 01:13:30,573
I'm beginnin' to feel your boots on my chin.
And I'm tellin' you one more time, Mr Apple Red.

782
01:13:30,740 --> 01:13:35,494
A couple of crazies dressed in bedsheets
dancin' round the countryside scarin' Negroes

783
01:13:35,661 --> 01:13:38,372
is not the goddamn fault
of the entire state of Mississippi!

784
01:13:38,539 --> 01:13:41,375
I'm telling you, Tilman, there are
three dead kids out there somewhere

785
01:13:41,542 --> 01:13:44,253
and a lot of scared people because of
your goddamn Sheriff's department

786
01:13:44,420 --> 01:13:46,213
so you'd better get used to
havin' us around.

787
01:13:46,380 --> 01:13:49,634
And you'd better get used to
my boots on your chin too.

788
01:13:49,967 --> 01:13:52,178
And you people better back off.

789
01:13:53,429 --> 01:13:56,432
Goddamn FBI. Just who in hell
do they think they are,

790
01:13:56,599 --> 01:13:58,434
comin' down to my part
of the goddamn country...

791
01:13:58,601 --> 01:14:01,687
- Do you have a statement, Mr Mayor?
- You are goddamn right. I' ve got...

792
01:14:01,854 --> 01:14:07,526
For a moment there, Mr Anderson...
It sounded like we were both on the same side.

793
01:14:35,471 --> 01:14:38,224
- Are you all right, honey?
- Yeah, I'm fine.

794
01:14:38,391 --> 01:14:41,060
- Let me know if you need anything.
- Thanks. | will.

795
01:16:06,020 --> 01:16:08,439
Mumma! Mumma! Come quick!

796
01:16:24,205 --> 01:16:27,458
There's no sign of him, sir.
He's long gone.

797
01:16:27,625 --> 01:16:30,169
His mother, she lives across the street.
She won't talk to us.

798
01:16:30,336 --> 01:16:33,005
- She won't even answer the door.
- | want the whole area covered.

799
01:16:33,172 --> 01:16:35,007
Someone must have seen something.

800
01:16:35,174 --> 01:16:36,467
They won't talk to us, sir.

801
01:16:36,634 --> 01:16:40,096
Get going, Mr Bird. If they won't talk
to us, shake it out of 'em.

802
01:16:43,432 --> 01:16:45,601
All right, let's go. Every house.
Come on.

803
01:16:53,025 --> 01:16:54,527
What?

804
01:16:54,693 --> 01:16:57,738
All these white guys chasin’
around in these dog tracks

805
01:16:57,905 --> 01:17:00,950
with their little notebooks
gonna get you nowhere.

806
01:17:01,117 --> 01:17:03,202
OK. What would you do?

807
01:17:08,958 --> 01:17:10,876
It's ok to be afraid.

808
01:17:18,884 --> 01:17:23,472
Go on, Willie.
Tell 'em what you saw.

809
01:17:57,089 --> 01:17:59,008
The defendants will rise.

810
01:18:02,678 --> 01:18:06,098
In this country
a man's home is his castle.

811
01:18:07,141 --> 01:18:11,395
That is one of the principles
by which this community survives.

812
01:18:11,562 --> 01:18:14,982
You men have done violence
to that principle.

813
01:18:15,149 --> 01:18:18,569
But | want you to know that
the court understands

814
01:18:18,736 --> 01:18:22,406
that the crimes you have committed
have been, to some extent at least,

815
01:18:22,573 --> 01:18:26,577
brought about by outside influences.

816
01:18:35,377 --> 01:18:42,343
Outsiders have come into Jessup County
and they've been people of low morality...

817
01:18:43,302 --> 01:18:45,679
...and unhygienic.

818
01:18:45,846 --> 01:18:49,350
And their presence here
has provoked a lot of people.

819
01:18:51,977 --> 01:18:57,483
So the court understands,
without condoning them, mind you,

820
01:18:57,650 --> 01:19:00,778
that the crimes to which
you men have pled guilty

821
01:19:00,945 --> 01:19:06,867
were, to some extent at least,
provoked by these outside influences.

822
01:19:09,286 --> 01:19:12,706
So, with all this,
I'm gonna make your punishment light.

823
01:19:14,667 --> 01:19:18,295
I'm gonna sentence you each
to five years' imprisonment.

824
01:19:22,383 --> 01:19:25,719
But I'm gonna suspend these sentences.

825
01:19:59,503 --> 01:20:01,380
You can't go in there, sir.

826
01:20:02,256 --> 01:20:04,258
FBI. Let us through.

827
01:20:04,425 --> 01:20:06,427
I'm sorry, sir.
You can't go in there.

828
01:20:12,182 --> 01:20:13,600
Sheriff?

829
01:20:17,646 --> 01:20:20,024
Y'all really started somethin' this time.

830
01:20:20,190 --> 01:20:22,693
Can you move these cars?
| wanna go in and talk to them.

831
01:20:22,860 --> 01:20:24,403
No, you've gone as far as you're gonna go.

832
01:20:24,570 --> 01:20:26,488
This ain't nothin' we can't handle.

833
01:20:26,655 --> 01:20:29,491
Just a bunch of crazy coloureds
tearin' up their own assholes.

834
01:20:29,658 --> 01:20:30,909
Local problem.

835
01:20:47,259 --> 01:20:49,094
Look at those flames, Mr Ward.

836
01:20:50,054 --> 01:20:55,225
- That's why they sent you down here, wasn't it?
- It would've happened anyway and you know it.

837
01:20:56,935 --> 01:21:00,898
If | was a Negro, I'd probably think
the same way they do.

838
01:21:01,065 --> 01:21:05,152
If you were a Negro,
nobody'd give a damn what you thought.

839
01:22:02,084 --> 01:22:04,086
Aaron! Aaron! Aaron, get up!

840
01:22:04,253 --> 01:22:07,047
Take your mumma, grandmumma and
the children out the back door.

841
01:22:07,214 --> 01:22:09,383
When you hit the road, keep goin'.
You understand?

842
01:22:09,550 --> 01:22:11,343
Keep goin', son.

843
01:22:12,678 --> 01:22:14,763
Nathan! Come on, Nathan.

844
01:22:14,930 --> 01:22:18,016
Get up! Get up, Nathan, now! Come on!
Get out of the bed!

845
01:22:18,183 --> 01:22:20,686
- What's happening?
- Mummal

846
01:22:20,853 --> 01:22:23,021
Come on, Mumma.

847
01:22:28,527 --> 01:22:31,488
Come on, Grandma.
Let's go!

848
01:22:47,254 --> 01:22:51,049
Who's there?
If you're in there, come on out!

849
01:22:51,216 --> 01:22:54,803
You hear?
| ain't takin' this shit no more!

850
01:24:00,410 --> 01:24:04,456
It's ok, Papa.
Mumma and the girls are fine.

851
01:24:04,623 --> 01:24:06,959
They just cracked your head some.

852
01:24:07,125 --> 01:24:10,837
You just keep on breathin'.
Don't you go dyin' on me now.

853
01:24:11,004 --> 01:24:12,464
You hear me?

854
01:24:14,132 --> 01:24:16,343
You gonna be just fine.

855
01:24:43,203 --> 01:24:45,581
You know, cows won't run away.

856
01:24:45,747 --> 01:24:48,375
No-one knows why.
They're just stupid, | guess.

857
01:24:48,542 --> 01:24:53,964
They just stand there until
their bellies swell up and they pop.

858
01:24:54,131 --> 01:24:55,882
They have relatives in Detroit.

859
01:24:57,634 --> 01:25:01,054
- Are they gonna go?
- | didn't give 'em any choice.

860
01:25:02,764 --> 01:25:04,891
At least we know who did this.

861
01:25:05,892 --> 01:25:08,979
- We did.
- Well, don't fret. It's progress.

862
01:25:09,146 --> 01:25:12,190
20 years ago they'd have strung 'em up
for stealin' a watermelon.

863
01:25:13,442 --> 01:25:16,945
| don't understand you, Mr Anderson.
Not at all.

864
01:25:18,196 --> 01:25:20,240
Let's get somethin' straight, all right?

865
01:25:20,824 --> 01:25:25,203
This whole thing was fucked up the moment
we turned it into a show for the newsmen.

866
01:25:25,370 --> 01:25:27,873
The moment those three kids disappeared,
it was news.

867
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:31,627
The moment the three Civil Rights workers
disappeared, it was news.

868
01:25:32,127 --> 01:25:35,547
To me they're just kids.
They're still missin'.

869
01:25:35,714 --> 01:25:40,260
What's missing is the 50 minutes
Pell said he was with his wife.

874
01:26:17,297 --> 01:26:19,591
They hate Mississippi.

875
01:26:20,384 --> 01:26:26,890
They hate us because we present a shining
example of successful segregation.

876
01:26:27,599 --> 01:26:32,312
These Northern students,
with their atheist, Communist bosses

877
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:36,358
that have come into our community this
summer with the wish to destroy it...

878
01:26:36,525 --> 01:26:40,070
this week have taken a terrible blow.

879
01:26:40,987 --> 01:26:44,533
This week their cause has been crippled.

880
01:26:44,700 --> 01:26:49,663
This week all of these federal policemen
you see out here pryin' into our lives,

881
01:26:49,830 --> 01:26:54,751
violatin' our civil liberties, have learned
that they are powerless against us

882
01:26:54,918 --> 01:27:00,382
if every single Anglo-Saxon Christian
one of us stands together!

883
01:27:05,721 --> 01:27:06,972
This week...

884
01:27:08,181 --> 01:27:10,684
AL e s
- We have company, sir.

885
01:27:11,768 --> 01:27:14,146
You got no right to be here.
This is a political meeting.

886
01:27:14,312 --> 01:27:16,064
Doesn't smell that way to me, Deputy.

887
01:27:16,231 --> 01:27:18,483
It's a goddamn political meeting,
Hoover boy.

888
01:27:18,650 --> 01:27:23,864
Oh, it looks like a political meeting
but smells more like Klan to me.

889
01:27:24,322 --> 01:27:27,534
With or without the Halloween costumes.

890
01:27:28,285 --> 01:27:29,619
Gentlemen.

891
01:27:30,036 --> 01:27:33,790
In the courts of Mississippi,
they have been reminded...

892
01:27:33,957 --> 01:27:39,337
that they cannot by force turn our communities
into replicas of their communities.

893
01:27:39,504 --> 01:27:44,092
Communities in which Negroes run riot,
unrestrained and unpunished

894
01:27:44,259 --> 01:27:46,553
as they do this summer
in the streets of Harlem,

895
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:50,891
or they do in the streets of Oakland
or they do in the streets of Chicago!

896
01:29:12,097 --> 01:29:13,265
Can | come in?

897
01:29:22,691 --> 01:29:24,609
It's not good for you to be here.

This whole thing is so ugly.

901
01:29:32,033 --> 01:29:35,120
Have you any idea what it's like
to live with all this?

902
01:29:36,621 --> 01:29:41,293
People look at us
and only see bigots and racists.

903
01:29:43,336 --> 01:29:48,008
Hatred isn't something you're born with.
It gets taught.

904
01:29:50,677 --> 01:29:54,264
At school they said segregation
is what it said in the Bible.

905
01:29:55,891 --> 01:30:00,228
Genesis 9, verse 27.

906
01:30:02,731 --> 01:30:07,861
At seven years of age, you get
told it enough times, you believe it.

907
01:30:09,821 --> 01:30:11,865
You believe the hatred.

908
01:30:13,158 --> 01:30:14,701
You live it.

909
01:30:14,868 --> 01:30:16,786
You breathe it.

910
01:30:18,997 --> 01:30:21,166
You marry it.

911
01:30:51,279 --> 01:30:54,199
My husband drove one of the cars that night.

912
01:30:55,158 --> 01:30:57,702
That's what you wanna hear, isn't it?

913
01:30:59,371 --> 01:31:04,376
The bodies are buried on the Roberts farm,
in an earthen dam.

01:31:37,283 --> 01:31:41,913
Take a break, Mr Bird.
Put some handkerchiefs around your face.

916
01:32:12,193 --> 01:32:14,696
The bodies of the three missing
Civil Rights workers

917
01:32:14,863 --> 01:32:18,283
were discovered this afternoon
at an undisclosed grave.

918
01:32:19,868 --> 01:32:23,413
Neither the FBI nor the Sheriff's
department will comment on the case.

919
01:32:24,330 --> 01:32:27,125
The bodies have been brought here
to Jessup County Hospital,

920
01:32:27,292 --> 01:32:29,627
where officials here also refused comment.

921
01:32:29,794 --> 01:32:34,090
There is speculation that there will be
an autopsy performed later tonight.

922
01:32:36,217 --> 01:32:39,554
OK, keep it open. Open it up.
We're comin' through.

What do you mean?

926
01:33:09,542 --> 01:33:12,087
| mean pull your head out of your ass
and get home!

927
01:33:13,213 --> 01:33:17,550
I, Vincent Thompson, am the cheddar cheese
champion of the world.

928
01:33:18,927 --> 01:33:24,432
In international competition with 42 other
entries, my cheddar won first prize

929
01:33:24,599 --> 01:33:28,937
based on flavour, texture, appearance
and colour.

930
01:33:29,104 --> 01:33:32,107
I've been a licensed cheese maker
since | was 17 years old.

931
01:33:33,108 --> 01:33:35,944
Hey, Clinton.
| didn't expect you home so early.

01:33:38,113 --> 01:33:39,322
Hi, Frank.

- Yes, sir?

938
01:34:23,825 --> 01:34:26,244
Get five men and meet me outside.

939
01:34:28,246 --> 01:34:30,957
- Where's Anderson?
- He's at the motel, sir.

940
01:34:36,045 --> 01:34:39,799
You two take the front door.
If anyone tries to get past you, break '‘em down.

941
01:34:39,966 --> 01:34:41,801
You two take the door on the corridor.

942
01:34:41,968 --> 01:34:43,178
- Mr Bird?
e

943
01:34:44,804 --> 01:34:49,017
OK. Go get Anderson.
Bring him here.

944
01:34:49,184 --> 01:34:52,187
Don't tell him why.
Don't tell him anything. Just get him here.

945
01:35:25,178 --> 01:35:28,473
Mr Anderson. Stop! Mr Anderson!

946
01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:31,309
- Go to hell.
- I'm telling you to stop and | mean it.

947
01:35:31,476 --> 01:35:35,021
We're not killers.
That's the difference between them and us.

That's the difference
between them and youl!

some changes right now!

Don't be so stupid.
Don't go messing this up

957
01:35:53,831 --> 01:35:56,125

foolin' around with withesses.

You...!

959
01:36:06,052 --> 01:36:08,680
It don't mean shit to have a gun
unless you're ready to use it.

960
01:36:08,846 --> 01:36:11,516
I'll kill you right now if you don't
listen to what | have to tell you.

Let me go.

We'll go after all of 'em, together.

You wouldn't know how!

965
01:36:21,609 --> 01:36:23,278
You're gonna teach me how.

01:36:23,444 --> 01:36:24,612
You don't have the guts.

Not only do | have the guts,
| have the authority.

Even your way.

Both.

973
01:36:40,253 --> 01:36:41,838
We do it my way.

He's a ballsy little bastard, isn't he?

"Let us not forget the two white boys also
died helping Negroes help themselves."

982

They want me to say, "We mourn with
the mothers of these two white boys."

But the state of Mississippi
won't even allow these white boys

"equal treatment under the law"?

01:38:31,280 --> 01:38:36,327
What does it mean,
liberty and justice for all"?

996
01:38:36,494 --> 01:38:39,038
Now | say to these people...

997
01:38:39,205 --> 01:38:45,211
Look at the face of this young man
and you will see the face of a black man.

998
01:38:45,378 --> 01:38:49,632
But, if you look at the blood shed,
it is red. It is like yours.

999
01:38:49,799 --> 01:38:52,760
It is just like yours!

1000
01:40:22,475 --> 01:40:23,643
NGV

1001
01:40:26,729 --> 01:40:28,856
I'm gonna tell you a story.

1002
01:40:30,525 --> 01:40:34,654
A young kid named Homer Wilkes
lives about 30 miles north of here.

1003
01:40:36,072 --> 01:40:40,409
He'd just taken his girlfriend home
and was walkin' back along the road...

1004
01:40:41,827 --> 01:40:43,287
...when a car pulled up.

1005
01:40:44,080 --> 01:40:47,250
Three white boys took him for a ride.

1006
01:40:50,795 --> 01:40:52,171
Now...

1007
01:40:53,589 --> 01:40:56,384
He hadn't done anything...

1008
01:40:58,052 --> 01:40:59,303
...except...

1009
01:41:00,930 --> 01:41:02,890
...be a Negro.

1010
01:41:05,768 --> 01:41:07,937
And they took him to a shack.

1011
01:41:08,813 --> 01:41:12,358
A shack like...
like this one.

1012
01:41:12,525 --> 01:41:14,402
And they took out a razor blade...

1013
01:41:15,861 --> 01:41:18,948
...a regular old razor blade,
like this one...

1014
01:41:21,617 --> 01:41:24,245
And they pulled down his pants...

1015
01:41:27,540 --> 01:41:29,750
...they spread his legs...

1016
01:41:31,669 --> 01:41:33,879
...and they sliced off his scrotum.

1017
01:41:37,717 --> 01:41:39,468
Put it in a coffee cup.

1018
01:41:44,807 --> 01:41:50,354
And do you know how much you bleed
when somebody cuts off your balls?

1019
01:41:50,980 --> 01:41:52,189
Huh?

1020
01:41:55,568 --> 01:42:00,573
When they found Homer, they say he looked
like he'd been dipped in blood up to his waist.

1021
01:42:01,198 --> 01:42:04,660
He was barely alive
when they got him to the hospital.

1022
01:42:04,827 --> 01:42:07,288
He can hardly walk now.

1023
01:42:17,340 --> 01:42:23,179
Mayor, we know you know who was there
when those three Civil Rights boys was murdered.

1024
01:42:23,888 --> 01:42:26,432
We know you know
who pulled the trigger.

1025
01:42:32,605 --> 01:42:34,815
Is there somethin' you wanna say to me?

1026
01:42:41,614 --> 01:42:42,823
o ¢l

1027
01:42:48,245 --> 01:42:52,458
- Is he with the Bureau?
- Yeah. He's kind of a specialist.

1028
01:42:52,625 --> 01:42:54,794
You're sure the mayor
won't talk about any of this?

1029
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:57,338
- No, they'd kill him!
- All right. What do you have?

1030
01:42:57,505 --> 01:43:00,466
Well, there were three cars and
seven men involved.

1031
01:43:00,633 --> 01:43:02,426
Pell and Bailey, they did the killing.

1032
01:43:02,593 --> 01:43:03,761
Sheriff Stuckey?

1033
01:43:03,928 --> 01:43:07,390
He knew about it, but was too smart to be there,
so Pell pulled the trigger for him.

1034
01:43:07,556 --> 01:43:09,642
- And Townley?
- It was his idea.

1035
01:43:09,809 --> 01:43:12,436
Grand Dragons,
they don't get their hands dirty.

1036
01:43:12,603 --> 01:43:16,107
The whole thing, huh?
Bullet by bullet.

1037
01:43:17,274 --> 01:43:23,447
| don't suppose you're interested in words
like "coercion" or "hearsay" or "duress".

1038
01:43:23,614 --> 01:43:25,950
This is no good in court.

1039
01:43:26,117 --> 01:43:30,162
We're not in court, Mr Ward.
We'll never get 'em on murder anyway.

1040
01:43:30,329 --> 01:43:34,333
That's a state charge.
These hayseeds will never prosecute.

1041
01:43:34,500 --> 01:43:35,543
| know that!

1042
01:43:35,710 --> 01:43:38,963
We've got to get 'em in federal court.
Violation of civil rights.

1043
01:43:39,130 --> 01:43:41,799
Just don't lose sight of whose rights
you're violatin'l

1044
01:43:41,966 --> 01:43:43,551
Don't put me on your perch, Mr Ward!

1045
01:43:43,718 --> 01:43:45,845
Don't drag me into your gutter,
Mr Anderson!

1046
01:43:46,011 --> 01:43:51,225
These people crawled out of a sewer, Mr Ward!
And maybe the gutter's where we should be!

1047
01:43:57,398 --> 01:43:58,733
Thank you.

1048
01:44:23,007 --> 01:44:24,759
This better be important.

1049
01:44:33,559 --> 01:44:35,436
Who the hell called this meeting?

1050
01:44:38,606 --> 01:44:42,109
- We thought you did.
- Of this group? Are you stupid?

1051
01:44:42,526 --> 01:44:46,906
You didn't call this? Shit.
If you didn't call this, who the fuck did?

1052
01:44:47,072 --> 01:44:48,032
Shut up.

1053
01:44:48,199 --> 01:44:51,118
Wait a minute.
Is this some kind of bullshit set-up?

1054
01:44:51,285 --> 01:44:53,287
Ray, are you sure you didn't call this?

1055
01:44:53,454 --> 01:44:57,291
Cos | got a note from my wife
and it said it was from you and Clinton.

1056
01:44:57,458 --> 01:44:59,293
Lester, shut up!

1057
01:45:01,504 --> 01:45:07,968
Now, we're all gonna walk
straight outta here and say nothing.

1058
01:45:08,427 --> 01:45:12,389
That means nothin', Lester.
First one who opens his mouth's a dead...

1059
01:45:12,556 --> 01:45:13,766
Shut up.

1060
01:45:14,850 --> 01:45:16,185
Hey, Clinton.

1061
01:45:20,397 --> 01:45:21,732
Clinton.

1062
01:45:25,444 --> 01:45:28,364
Looks like the rattlesnakes
are startin' to commit suicide.

1063
01:45:56,976 --> 01:45:58,102
Hi, Lester.

1064
01:46:04,066 --> 01:46:05,484
We'll give you that ride home.

1065
01:46:07,695 --> 01:46:08,696
What?

1066
01:46:09,530 --> 01:46:13,492
Well, | know you said 4.30
but we're runnin' a little late, so...

1067
01:46:13,659 --> 01:46:16,412
- I'll meet you in the car.
- You're cracked.

1068
01:46:18,539 --> 01:46:19,832
Do you have change of a 207

1069
01:46:21,625 --> 01:46:22,668
Sure.

1070
01:46:28,883 --> 01:46:30,342
Get in the car, Lester.

1071
01:46:30,509 --> 01:46:34,972
Else you're gonna have a mighty hard time pickin'
your nose once l've closed this drawer shut.

1072
01:46:38,726 --> 01:46:42,479
Lester, you could make it a whole lot easier
on yourself by goin' on the record right now.

1073
01:46:43,564 --> 01:46:47,860
| ain't got nothin' to say.
You barkin' up the wrong tree, mister.

1074
01:46:49,612 --> 01:46:51,572
Lester, | gotta tell you somethin'.

1075
01:46:51,739 --> 01:46:54,950
We got you cold.
Your buddies have already talked.

1076
01:46:57,036 --> 01:46:58,412
A INN SR}

1077
01:47:03,709 --> 01:47:05,669
We think you're in a lot of trouble,
Y=

1078
01:47:05,836 --> 01:47:11,008
We know you drove the second vehicle,
the green truck. And your buddy says...

1079
01:47:11,175 --> 01:47:13,552
- Refresh my memory here, Mr Bird.
- Yes, sir.

1080
01:47:13,719 --> 01:47:17,389
"Lester Cowens dragged the Negro from the car,
kicked him twice in the face and then shot him."

1081
01:47:17,556 --> 01:47:18,599
That's a goddamn lie.

1082
01:47:18,766 --> 01:47:20,684
No, it's true.
What else you got there, Mr Bird?

1083
01:47:20,851 --> 01:47:21,936
"Lester Cowens then said,

1084
01:47:22,102 --> 01:47:25,940
" "They only left me a nigger,
but at least | shot me a nigger.

1085
01:47:28,484 --> 01:47:31,654
| didn't kill him.
| only shot him in the ass.

1086
01:47:31,820 --> 01:47:35,699
We know that. He was already dead
by the time you put a slug in him.

1087
01:47:35,866 --> 01:47:40,162
But your buddy sees it differently.
Your buddy tells it that you killed the kid.

1088
01:47:40,329 --> 01:47:42,456
You either go on the record
for us right now

1089
01:47:42,623 --> 01:47:46,126
or it's gonna be your ass we're talkin'
about, not just a black kid's!

1090
01:48:00,849 --> 01:48:02,393
Think about it, Lester.

1091
01:48:03,352 --> 01:48:04,812
Come on out of there.

1092
01:48:06,605 --> 01:48:08,190
Come on out.

1093
01:48:51,942 --> 01:48:53,652
This is tricky.

1094
01:48:55,029 --> 01:48:57,906
They make it look so easy, don't they?

1095
01:48:59,658 --> 01:49:02,119
| got a question for you, Clinton.

1096
01:49:03,328 --> 01:49:05,706
You don't mind if | call you Clinton,
do you?

1097
01:49:06,498 --> 01:49:08,959
| feel like | know you so well.

1098
01:49:11,503 --> 01:49:14,631
The way we have it,
on the night of the murders...

1099
01:49:14,798 --> 01:49:18,802
you made a short speech
as the bulldozer buried the kids in the dam.

1100
01:49:18,969 --> 01:49:20,888
How does Lester tell it?

1101
01:49:21,055 --> 01:49:25,642
"Mississippi will be proud of you.
You've struck a blow for the white man."

1102
01:49:26,268 --> 01:49:28,187
Is that what you said, Clinton?

1103
01:49:29,897 --> 01:49:32,024
Is that what you said?

1104
01:49:32,608 --> 01:49:34,359
It must've been you...

1105
01:49:34,526 --> 01:49:39,490
because Clayton Townley and
Ray Stuckey were too smart to be there.

1106
01:49:39,656 --> 01:49:43,577
And you was too stupid to think anybody'd
remember what you had to say.

1107
01:49:44,745 --> 01:49:47,289
But old Lester, he got a good memory.

1108
01:49:51,752 --> 01:49:55,506
I'm sorry.
| haven't done this for a long time.

1109
01:49:55,672 --> 01:50:00,052
Did you make a speech the night that
you beat up your wife, Clinton?

1110
01:50:00,219 --> 01:50:02,638
Huh? Did ya?

1111
01:50:03,722 --> 01:50:06,391
Did you strike a blow
for the white man that night?

1112
01:50:07,267 --> 01:50:08,435
Huh?

1113
01:50:11,355 --> 01:50:14,066
You got a stupid smile.
You know that, Pell?

1114
01:50:14,233 --> 01:50:17,069
Can you see it? Huh?
Good!

1115
01:50:18,320 --> 01:50:22,783
Did you smile when the bulldozer ran
over the black kid's body? Did ya?

1116
01:50:27,037 --> 01:50:30,457
Did you smile when the bodies
were covered over? Did ya?

1117
01:50:30,916 --> 01:50:32,918
Get up here. Come on.
CT-1@To!

1118
01:50:33,669 --> 01:50:37,881
Did you smile that same
stupid smile, huh? Did ya?

1119
01:50:38,048 --> 01:50:39,258
NGV

1120
01:50:43,470 --> 01:50:46,473
Did ya smile, Pell?
Did ya smile?

1121
01:50:47,808 --> 01:50:50,060
Huh? Did ya?

1122
01:50:55,691 --> 01:50:57,943
Make no mistake about it, Deputy.

1123
01:50:58,110 --> 01:51:00,028
I'll cut your fuckin' head clear off

1124
01:51:00,195 --> 01:51:02,990
and not give a shit how it reads
in the report sheet.

1125
01:51:26,346 --> 01:51:28,599
One more bite. One more bite.

1126
01:51:29,558 --> 01:51:31,977
One more bite, darling, one more bite.

1127
01:51:49,119 --> 01:51:51,914
Shit, Lester!
What the fuck is goin' on here?

1128
01:51:52,080 --> 01:51:55,292
Shut up! Get in the bedroom
and lock the door!

1129
01:51:55,459 --> 01:51:57,127
And stay away from the windows!

1130
01:52:08,180 --> 01:52:09,640
Shit!

1131
01:53:14,079 --> 01:53:16,999
Please! Please!
| didn't say a thing!

1132
01:53:17,165 --> 01:53:20,210
| swear! It's a set-up!
| didn't say nothin'!

1133
01:53:20,377 --> 01:53:23,046
| didn't say nothin'! Nothin'!

1134
01:53:23,547 --> 01:53:27,342
| didn't say nothin'!
| didn't say nothin'!

1135
01:53:34,266 --> 01:53:36,184
| didn't say nothin'!

1136
01:53:56,705 --> 01:53:59,124
You're lucky we've been watchin'
your ass, Lester.

1137
01:54:02,669 --> 01:54:07,215
If you go on the record, Mr Cowens,
we'll give you protection.

1138
01:54:07,382 --> 01:54:11,678
- If not...
- If not, they're gonna kill you anyway.

1139
01:54:12,304 --> 01:54:16,058
Oh. You need a toilet, Lester.

1140
01:54:40,540 --> 01:54:42,542
We really had him goin', huh?

1141
01:55:27,129 --> 01:55:29,297
We'll take care of the check, Mr Swilley.

1142
01:55:54,406 --> 01:55:57,325
Well, | suppose
I'll be back for supper.

1143
01:56:06,710 --> 01:56:08,336
Button up, Wesley.

1144
01:57:24,621 --> 01:57:26,164
Why did he do it?

1145
01:57:27,082 --> 01:57:31,211
He wasn't even in on it.
Wasn't even Klan.

1146
01:57:32,420 --> 01:57:35,257
Mr Bird, he was guilty.

1147
01:57:35,632 --> 01:57:39,511
Anyone's guilty who watches this happen
and pretends it isn't.

1148
01:57:40,762 --> 01:57:44,057
No. He was guilty all right.

1149
01:57:44,224 --> 01:57:47,769
Just as guilty as the fanatics
who pulled the trigger.

1150
01:57:50,146 --> 01:57:51,690
Maybe we all are.

1151
01:58:46,036 --> 01:58:47,495
Hello!

1152
01:58:49,372 --> 01:58:50,624
-1k

1153
01:58:57,464 --> 01:59:01,968
| just missed you at the hospital.
They said you'd gone home.

1154
01:59:02,761 --> 01:59:04,846
What's left of it.

1155
01:59:06,348 --> 01:59:09,392
- I'm real sorry.
-Soam |.

1156
01:59:10,852 --> 01:59:14,230
- What are you gonna do?
- | don't know.

1157
01:59:16,733 --> 01:59:17,984
Where will you go?

1158
01:59:18,151 --> 01:59:22,864
I'm not goin' anywhere. I'm stayin'.
This is my home. Born here.

1159
01:59:24,532 --> 01:59:26,493
Probably die here.

1160
01:59:29,829 --> 01:59:33,124
If | wanted to leave,
| would've done it a long time ago.

1161
01:59:34,167 --> 01:59:36,086
Things'll work out.

1162
01:59:36,252 --> 01:59:39,839
There's enough good people around here
know what | did was right.

1163
01:59:41,007 --> 01:59:44,052
And enough ladies
like the way | fix their hair.

1164
01:59:59,818 --> 02:00:00,819
Hey.

1165
02:00:02,946 --> 02:00:07,534
If you're ever in Des Moines...
don't send me a postcard.

1166
02:00:08,284 --> 02:00:09,369
ol ¢

1167
02:02:03,066 --> 02:02:04,776
You wanna drive, Rupert?
