:10:01
Mayor, we know you know...
:10:03
...who was there when those three
civil rights boys was murdered.

:10:07
We know you know
who pulled the trigger.

:10:15
Is there somethin' you wanna say to me?
:10:24
OK!
:10:31
- Is he with the Bureau?
- Yeah. He's kind of a specialist.

:10:34
- You're sure the mayor won't talk?
- No, they'd kill him!

:10:38
All right. What do you have?
:10:40
You already been told once, nigger.
We don't wanna have to tell you again.

:10:40
There were three cars and seven men.
Pell and Bailey did the killing.

:10:44
- Sheriff Stuckey?
- He was too smart to be there.

:10:44
You make any more trouble by flappin'
them boot-lips off to them federal men...

:10:47
- So Pell pulled the trigger for him.
- And Townley?

:10:49
...we'll sure as hell put you in the ground,
boy, and that's without a pine box!

:10:50
It was his idea. Grand Dragons,
they don't get their hands dirty.

:10:54
The whole thing, huh? Bullet by bullet.
:10:55
You understand me?
:10:58
I don't suppose you're interested in words
like "coercion" or "hearsay" or "duress".

:11:05
This is no good in court.
:11:07
We're not in court, Mr. Ward.
We'll never get 'em on murder anyway.

:11:09

:11:11
That's a state charge.
These hayseeds will never prosecute.

:11:15
- I know that!
- We've got to get 'em in federal court!

:11:18
- Violation of civil rights!
- Remember whose rights you're violatin'!

:11:22
- Don't put me on your perch, Mr. Ward!
- Don't drag me into your gutter!

:11:26
These people crawled out of a sewer,
Mr. Ward!

:11:29
And maybe the gutter's
where we should be!

:11:37
Thank you.
