They came lookin' for trouble
and found it.

:06:03
This is Marek Barlbobi, Network News,
Jessup County, Mississippi.

:06:05
Why don't you send some of them
good-lookin' FBI boys to talk to me?

:06:09
Tell you what I think they oughta be doin'.
Lookin' up in Canada for them boys...

:06:09
Sorry about the intrusion.
I was at the hardware store and...

:06:13
- Pecan?
- I'm sick of pecans.

:06:14
...instead of our swamps around here.
:06:16
Freedom! Freedom!
:06:16
I'll tell you somethin' else. I think it's
a stunt dreamed up by NAAC people.

:06:19
Are you willing to stand and fight?
- Yes!

:06:22
NAAC people?
- NAACP.

:06:25
Know what it stands for? Niggers,
Alligators, Apes, Coons and Possums.

:06:30
Tell you what you got.
You got your NAACP.

:06:32
You got your SNCC. You got your COFO.
:06:36
You know what all that mess is?
B- U-L-L-S-H-I-T.

:06:40
You got it?
:06:46
One day we won't have to say
"Good morning, sir, Mr. Sheriff. "

:06:51
Maybe there'll come a time when
we won't have to say "Mr. Stuckey".

:06:55
How'd you find out about this?
:06:56
One day there'll come a time when
we'll just say "Stuckey" or "Sheriff".

:06:58
Bureau procedure, Mr. Ward.
:07:00
And one day there'll come a time when
the sheriff won't even be a white man.

:07:12
Sheriff Stuckey.
:07:14
He got his phone call.
:07:15
Hello.
:07:19
Wonder who else was called.
:07:20
I wonder if I could ask you
a few questions.

:07:23
I don't suppose you could tell me
what kind of flower these are, could you?

:07:23
Where you goin', boy?
:07:26
Go on. Get outta here.
:07:27
I been seein' 'em
all over the place here and...

:07:31
Never saw such a darn pretty plant.
:07:35
They're trumpet-pitchers.
:07:37
Trumpet-pitchers?
:07:39
They're beautiful. They really are.
:07:42
They don't smell so good
but they're pretty.

:07:44
Here they come.
:07:49
It's nice talkin' to you.
:07:51
Sorry about interruptin' your meeting
but we can't get anybody to talk to us.

:07:54
- Come on. Let's go.
- We'll wait until they go back inside.

:07:56
They zip up, like my momma used to say.
:07:58
People don't wanna talk to you because
they're afraid it'll get back to the law.

:07:58
Get him!
