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.
