THE DESIRED NIGHT
- When are they going to start with that side? - We can't fly those lands.
They are not ours yet.
I thought we had already acquired them 15 months ago
No. We have a choice about Mrs. Warren's lands,
but does not include the central strip With both farms.
Henry, by compromising the lands of your wife, you guaranteed us ...
I know. The fact is that we are delaying those two farmers
They went to war. One of them has already returned
and the other one I think is about to arrive.
I have ordered to be notified at moment you get off the bus.
Why don't you talk to him to the other meanwhile?
It's not possible. We have to give to Rad McDowell
The first opportunity to sell.
- Why? - Because it's white.
The others are people of color.
What if none of them He wants to sell?
Don't think about that, Mr. Elwell.
One of those two farms It belongs to a cousin of mine.
The other is from the black woman who raised To my wife and her son.
So it could be said that Everything is in family.
We can't wait long, Henry. If it is not resolved before the end of the month
we will withdraw the option on his wife's lands
- and we will act in another direction. - I introduce Julie, my wife.
- How are you? - Sheriff Coombs has helped us.
Glad to meet you at last, Mrs. Warren.
Now I can verify that it is not no legend what they say
of the beauty surista.
It is also a pleasure for me and a surprise to see you, Mr. Elwell.
Think that we all grow here thinking that the Yankees
- They have horns and tail. - Really?
I did not know until 10 years that Yankee and demon were different things.
What do you think if we go now home to have a drink?
I'm so sorry, but we have Than visit three more sites.
- Goodbye. Sheriff - Mr. Elwell.
Hey, Rad, come here.
Let me be the first in welcoming you
- Wasn't anyone waiting for you? - No. I wanted to surprise you.
Go up, I'll take you home.
Come on, you don't have to go on foot.
How do you find this? Very changed?
Yes and no. Maybe something smaller.
It's logical now that you've seen Those big European cities.
You had never left Not even 30 kilometers from here.
It will have been exciting, huh?
That depends on where you look. From there or from here.
You are very well, Rad.
And you overflow luxury, cousin Henry. You are in opulence.
For the car? This is not Not even the doghouse.
This is just the beginning.
Before you know it, we will have jumped from poor to rich.
- It's a good jump. - What do you know about Riverside?
Lou wrote me something.
It is the greatest conceived in Colfax County.
And in less lightning lasts It will be the biggest in Georgia.
Riverside It will be over in October.
They have named me local boss. I am in charge of the entire district.
The time of the boats passed shrimp, huh?
I will try to have you too A piece of cake.
- What cake? - Well, the money one.
Do not thank me, I do it with pleasure.
We may not get along well, but you have to recognize
That blood always pulls. Story With which you will accept my proposal.
Do you think you'll be happy following the routine again,
Breaking your kidneys to take out Anything from that pig farm?
No sir. You must aspire to more. Think of your children.
Especially in Charles. He's a brat that's worth it.
He looks like me when he was his years. I consider him a son more than a nephew.
Thank you.
Attend me.
I have worked in your name the sale of your farm
at the same price as the lands from Julie. At $ 100 an acre,
even though yours is terrain marshy. What do you think, Rad?
- I do not know. - How you do not know?
When will you have the chance to drop 5 thousand dollars for the farm?
It is never true. But they are not things to decide them at first.
I have to think about it.
Think about it, and hopefully while both do not lower the price.
I have to leave you here or I'll be late for church.
To the church you? But today is not Sunday.
How much things have changed.
Not so much, but it's that Clem, Julie's cousin, they order it today.
You will be the new pastor.
Opportunity calls you, Rad. Do not delay opening the door.
I'll think about it.
Hey Lou!
- Something happens to you, Reeve. - No, mom.
Well, something has changed your mood from breakfast Tell me.
Mom, you're better than everything the radar used in the Pacific.
I don't know anything about that radar, but yes I know when something happens to my son.
Rad McDowell is back. I saw him On the road talking to his cousin.
I bet he tries to sell him their lands, the same as us.
Why don't you ask him to Rad himself?
You have always been Very good friends.
As a child you can, Then not so much.
Ok, but as soon as I feel Better, I'll go visit Miss Julie.
She knows how to drive to his lord Henry Warren.
A wife always knows How to convince the husband.
Mom, stop dreaming. Let's not trust in which she or any white
Look for us. We have to take care We of ourselves.
I don't know what they made of you in the army.
Since you came home not You never find a kind word.
Mom, look deeply at yourself, To your life, to everything.
You will see that it is necessary to forget of the old ways.
- How are you, Mr. Warren? - Well thanks.
Don't tell me it's over the ceremony. Mr. judge?
Sorry.
I would have wanted to die when I heard in the city that you had returned
- and we weren't here. - Calm down, honey.
As there has been no news this Tomorrow, I thought you wouldn't come today.
I have gone to the beauty salon of the city To like when you arrive.
And I like you. You are the most woman Beautiful I've met.
- But I didn't get to the lounge. - I don't care, love.
OMG...
Again at home
It seems impossible, again at home
If I hadn't invited Black, We would not have had that incident.
I could not refuse to give them communion, right?
Until I give them a pastor to them, I am their pastor.
If the Lord, in his wisdom, He agreed to separate the races,
Can we contradict him?
Clem, I think I should now say something that appeases Judge Purcell.
It is not convenient to start the ministry having a parishioner like that.
The case is serious, Mr. Bishop.
After receiving that woman, at pass the paten of communion
Mr. Judge, he spit on her.
I was present and I have not seen it.
Well he did.
Instead, Clem, I would not challenge the judge.
Let him approach In time.
Otherwise, it could still be much worse. And what would you do?
Adopt almost the same posture who is waiting to receive
the communion Without any regrets.
Pass.
- Clem, it has been very beautiful. - Thank you, Julie.
And very exciting.
I will have to start calling him Mr. De Lavery.
Julie, please, I'm the same as forever. I have not changed inside.
- Good morning, Mrs. Martin. - Good Morning.
Come on, dinner is ready! Everyone at the table!
Come on, come on, miss.
Charles?
Lord, thank you for these foods
and especially for allowing us Be together, safe and sound. Amen.
Thank you. I am very grateful. Sorry for a moment.
It is a pleasure to see you here, Mr. Judge. And you, Mrs. Purcell.
Thank you very much, Mr. Bishop. Didn't you know our daughter Sukie?
Mr. judge, are you surrounded by beauties.
Mrs. Coombs, I'm glad to greet you. Sheriff, you are a good boy.
- Mr. judge. - Julie, it's a pleasure to see you.
- Hello Julie. - Mrs. Purcell.
I'm glad you came to greet my cousin Clem.
Wait, Sukie, I'll introduce you To the guest of honor.
- I was just going to have a glass of punch. - In due time, charm.
Clem, here are some guests They want to greet you.
- Julie, you'll have to apologize. - Why? I do not understand.
You saw how we were insulted my family and me for that ...
- Unqualifiable cousin of his. - That was what he did?
I will tell you what he did. It happened to me the paten after having put it
Under the nose of an old black woman. Tell me, what would you have done
of being in such a case?
Given that to me a black woman breastfed me,
one of the purest beings that has existed,
- I think I could have survived. - That has nothing to do with it.
No. I passed the drool of a Old black drunk and syphilitic.
And don't think I blame her. He didn't even realize the situation.
But who I owe and can blame it's the man who had the carelessness
to pass the same kick.
Mr. Judge, do you know that woman?
- Do you know her? - By name no.
And how can you then ensure What is drunk and syphilitic?
Or do you have maybe experience in those things?
Let's get out of here.
- Mr. Judge, Julie doesn't know what she says. - But I do know what I say.
And I affirm that no member of my family
will step on the church again as long as we have that pastor.
- But what about my wedding? - There are other churches.
You shouldn't worry about that, Sukie Let's go.
Cousin Henry says that men ready they manage
Not to go to military service.
Yes, that knows too much Your cousin Henry.
He says that with four children You didn't have to go.
That is true?
A man does what your conscience dictates.
Well, cousin Henry thought that I shouldn't go. And he only has one son.
How do you explain it?
It is possible that cousin Henry Don't know what consciousness is, son.
Well, it's finally over.
Take, I thought it would suit you Some comforting.
It's over well, having Consider the circumstances.
- So you think? - It is not like this?
Well, in your case I would try don't skip red traffic lights
or use official parking
at least in a couple of years.
He came to my house and to my party only to offend my guest of honor
And to my family. I think he did not receive more than what he deserved.
My angel, my sky ...
I'm sorry but I didn't want to be In the room alone.
Treasure, you have behaved Very good all afternoon.
You don't want mom to take you? Very well. Go honey
Enough, mom is here. Enough, huh?
Leave it, don't touch this. Don't touch it, it's from dad.
Give it to me!
Come here love.
Why did you have What treat him like this?
You know you shouldn't shout.
Kissie, do you want to get on Colie? I should already be sleeping.
Nothing happens, little son.
Sorry.
The party has put us Somewhat nervous
I can finally be alone with you
There is something that all day I've been looking forward to talking to you.
Riverside?
Rad McDowell returned this morning.
Julie,
I think he doesn't like the idea of selling that I proposed.
Holy Heaven, I'm tired of hearing Talk about Riverside.
It seems as if nobody knew Take care of something else.
- First my parents and now you. - It's all we have.
When I think I thought you capable To get me out of here forever.
It can still be, and will be. Only we will be treading false
until Rad and Rose sell.
I don't want to cause you any Aunt Rose worry.
- I thought you already understood. - You won't cause it,
but you're going to take the bandage off of the eyes and make it very rich.
Henry,
that poor old lady He is the one who raised me.
And he loved me. There was a time...
in that only of his love I could be sure.
And I can't hurt him.
- Do you hear it? I can not. - It's okay. It's okay.
If you think like that I will not insist more.
- You understand, right, Henry? - Of course, honey.
What I did not quite understand
is that you put a black one and a piece of land
To your husband and your son.
- Have you woken up? - It hasn't even moved.
It will get furious when Know that he won't sleep with me again.
Well, a husband has your rights, right?
You have been very discreet during dinner
I mean the conversation with Charles, you know?
- I know it wasn't easy for you. - I'm following your example,
At least for now.
But I won't let him keep going at all hours with cousin Henry.
I think Henry feels for him A true darling
Would you like charles It was his son.
He already has a son of his own, He doesn't need Charles.
Colie is not normal. Will meet 6 years and does not pronounce a word.
- They say it's Henry's fault. - In those cases there are no culprits.
Maybe you are right. It is just what they say.
What do they say?
Well, 4 years ago ... Didn't I write it to you, Rad?
When Julie's father died and she had to accompany him
to the Atlanta hospital, the boy He was alone with Henry.
It was the beginning of the whole thing that of Riverside.
Henry was always behind those people offering them
Julie's lands. And the day of I'm talking to you
Atlanta leaders came and from New York.
Henry didn't want to get lost Such an occasion.
But I can't find anyone who He kept taking care of the creature.
There are those who say they didn't try.
I think he just thought he was It was an hour or two.
Well, the case is that he tied Colie to the cradle
With a clothesline. And that's not all, Rad.
Instead of being out for just a moment, He did not return home all day.
Since then The child is not normal.
- And how did Julie react? - Well I do not know.
I think he doesn't admit that the boy Be mentally retarded.
Certain things They are only for connoisseurs.
Colie ...
- I must go up with him. - You already have Kissie.
It will only be a matter of a moment.
Hold it, Rad, Or do you want everything to burn?
Lou, you can take whatever you want, That I will continue here waiting for you.
Honey, what's wrong with you? Did i say something?
- Or have I done something? - Do not.
So what happens to you?
I had imagined how You would find everyone when you came back.
I very well arranged, all set, and everything is disgusting.
I had even thought in buying new sheets.
There are only bluish here And nothing is as I wanted.
Honey, stop thinking about that, you want?
I'm the same as when I worked in dye, isn't it?
It is possible that I can fix it. You will see.
I have brought it to you from Paris.
I could never dream ...
- It's very good for me. - As made for you.
In my life I had Nothing so pretty
And so it must always be, Lou.
We are both young and we must enjoy our youth
Going out there, to have fun. There has to be a better life
that of killing yourself to work on a farm just to eat,
- a life with more meaning. - What are you insinuating?
I do not know. It is as if suddenly something It will drive me to look for other places.
- What places? - There are thousands.
- We have only to choose. - I knew it.
I was fearing it. Your return has not made you happy.
Happy? Oh come on Lou Happy is little.
But where will we be while you look for those places?
Well, where am I?
We will buy a trailer until choosing the ideal site.
Do not.
Listen to me well, Rad. Do you think that I broke my nails and spine
working day and night to save the farm, to be able to raise the boys,
and improve planting as much as possible so that you arrive and want to sell it?
Only this earth, Rad. And it is all our life.
A land of ours, completely paid and of all legality.
Our forever. If you take care from her, she will take care of you.
Ask around, Maybe you discover something.
Things have been changing and they will change even more.
It is possible that these lands now worth more than those 5 thousand dollars.
Or do you think cousin Henry Have you studied how to make us rich?
Okay, Lou, I promise you not to do Nothing while you don't approve.
According?
Now put this on, will you?
You are unique, Lou. The only one in the world for me.
I don't try to ask you questions, but I do want you to know
I never met another man.
Honey, I ... My love, you'll see
sometimes I felt very depressed, and started walking in the streets
- and I could find any girl ... - I don't want you to talk about it.
- Not now, not never. - But I have to tell you something.
It is that none has meant Nothing for me
Only with you I feel at ease. That's the truth.
Do you remember what My poor grandfather used to say?
The acts are worth more than the words
Rad, I missed you so much.
It will be just a moment.
- So you like this, huh? - Oh, Henry ...
Why do we pay Kissie if not to silence him?
Henry, when it gets like this, Just calm down with me. Let me.
Let go of me, let go of me. Let me!
What about me?
If it wasn't for you I may not cry. Let me!
I'm sick of you carrying me that fault, do you hear it?
In my family there was never A child like this.
Look at the children of Rad. None is like that.
They are strong and full of life and ready like eagles.
Let go now!
Don't go to believe that I'm going to stand still like a stupid
waiting for you to deign to get close, do you find out?
There is Reeve Scott, dad.
Hi Rad Can you take me to the city?
Goes up.
- How do you feel coming back? - Fine I guess.
- Are you going to sell your cousin Henry? - Do you mind?
You can face us with your cunning.
If you sell, cut me The passage to the river.
If I sell, you cut it to you up the road.
- Although there is something else. - Which one?
It is not logical to stay here Without getting good performance.
I estimate that we lose a third sowing per year because
of the floods or of the happy drought.
So why don't we build ditches that secure everything?
- What Riverside does. - Riverside can do it,
- But we don't. - Do you know what I learned in the army?
Demolition work I made roads through rocks and I turned jungles
in airfields. Something harder That the ditches.
- Why don't you do it alone? - Do not tease.
There would not be a storekeeper at all Georgia to sell me explosives.
Suppose we join. You buy it Everything and I do the blasting.
I'll think about it.
There is no time left. We have to do it before sowing begins.
- I'm telling you, I'll think about it. - What do you have to think?
- Are you afraid of what they can say? - Do not.
- I think so. - I tell you no, do you understand?
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get you tangled up.
- My family has to live here. - You better leave me now.
I don't want anyone to criticize you for having brought me to the city.
It has been a lesson, dad. Never trust a black.
- I don't like you talking like that. - It's okay.
But from what Reeve said, I don't see It is not clear that we go to California.
To California? Where did you get that idea?
That's what he told me once cousin Henry.
Well, next time cousin Henry tell you something
tell him not to put his nose in ours, understood?
Hi Vivian, I didn't know you were back.
Not me you were here.
If I come to school, Can you be my teacher?
Of course, whenever you come to the fourth course.
Forget it, I said nothing.
- I wanted to see your grandfather. - He'll be right back.
- And your mother? - She is very sick.
IM so sorry, but upon reaching his age ...
How old do you think he is?
- Maybe 72 or 73. - You are about to turn 54.
But I'm very afraid That does not reach them.
- And I don't know what will become of me without her. - You will survive. It always survives.
You have become hard. Is it new york What has made you so?
It has made me that way, The city is not important.
Reeve, why didn't you answer to my letters?
- I've thought a lot about you. - And for what?
You told me you liked it A guy from New York.
What's up, Reeve? Glad to see you, son.
I say the same, professor.
Maybe you can help me Vivian will be as before.
Be careful, Reeve, be innocent rural teacher
is able to fool the most Harlem ready.
I have come only for a few days and, without realizing it,
I find myself teaching another time, and he wants me to sign for a year.
This is your house, The place that corresponds to you.
You were never sick living here
Nor living in New York. It was convenient for me to change airs.
I don't see myself going on The rest of my life here.
Does not match Georgia My idea of ​​the promised land.
- Talk to her, Reeve. - Because I?
- Because it destroys all my arguments. - More easily
will cast under mine.
- Do you give up without trying? - No. But I understand your attitude.
You realize how they march Things around this corner.
And we have to improve all so that improve No one will do it for us.
Think about it and you will see that it was As happened in the promised land.
I need you, Vivian.
I have come to see him To advise me.
Henry Warren tries that mom sell the farm to Riverside,
And we don't want to sell it.
This is the writing of when my great-grandfather Jonah acquired those lands
In a public auction.
Have you checked if it is preserved A copy of this in court?
They would not allow me.
It's from 1866! Maybe he got lost when a fire burned
most of the old court in 76.
If so, this is a single copy. Do you want me to keep it in my box?
Read my mind, professor.
- I'll have to find a lawyer, right? - That won't be easy for you.
- I would like to see you again. - I don't think it's convenient.
- Why not? - It can harm you.
And I don't think that It will benefit me.
You are the teacher.
- Hi, Aida. - Hi, Mr. Warren.
But it is Henry Warren. How are you?
Vernom is out taking care Your roses
He won't leave without greeting before to our Sukie, right?
- Judge. - Henry.
I come to present my apologies for what happened in my house.
It is not you who needs to do it, but other members of his family.
Father. Have you forgotten that you must take me to Nancy's house
- for the party he gives in my honor? - I'll take it, if you let me.
- You're an angel. Julie goes too? - No. He won't go.
He is afraid of eclipses With your beauty
After insulting me, Insult my daughter.
I don't think it's any sacrifice attend a small meeting
- in honor of Sukie. - It's for the boy, Mr. Judge.
I think that child's health always It has been a good excuse for Julie.
- Don't take it like that. - The facts prove it.
That prevents him from being bridesmaid of Sukie and attend our meetings,
but it doesn't stop her from organizing them, especially for that cousin of his
- who defends blacks. - Well, maybe it's not just the boy.
Besides him, she's worried these days for the dislikes
that we are to blame Rose Scott
- Who? - Rose Scott. His old mistress of color.
Black is very sick, and Julie takes it to heart.
In addition, there are now certain complications with their lands.
- What land? - The land where Rose lives.
They are from the Colfax, Everyone knows it here.
Julie's family let Rose live there
as long as they paid the taxes, Clear.
And now that it seems that Rose he dies
Julie wants me to sell them to Riverside.
- For how much money? - I guess about 2 thousand dollars.
So if that is the case, the writing You must go through my court.
Yes, I think you will have to go through it.
And before the possibility that there is litigation, you don't find anything better
to come to my house for the purpose of predisposing my judgment.
It is possible that my family tree Don't be as tall as Julie's
but I have an integrity foolproof
- which is my greatest pride. - How sorry, judge.
I assure you I never thought May my words offend you.
When I stretch that black leg, what is your name?
- Rose Scott. - Oh yeah.
Well, when she dies, her family had proof of assignment
and I guess they won't have them. Don't see the amount of trouble
with whom I have to face daily.
Those blacks never have a role, no document,
no birth certificates, No bills or anything.
He said if they can prove their right I will not be able to do anything.
But if they can't ... Henry, if that were the case,
Do you think my daughter Sukie could count on Julie as bridesmaid?
There is no doubt, Mr. Judge.
That way I would know correspond to your kindness.
The problem of the transfer remains from the wedding to Bay City.
Julie is very close to his cousin Clem.
Well, that's your thing, Right, Henry?
You will take care to fix everything, right?
- I will try. - Do more than procure it.
- What are you talking about? - From a wedding gift to you.
Something Henry must fix.
I will try to get it out of the way to Nancy's house.
- Goodbye dad. - Bye, daughter, have fun.
- I hope so. - Of course.
After so much time We go out together again, Henry.
- Do you want someone to hear you? - Does matters? They would not believe it.
I hardly believe it.
Leave me the keys. Long ago I don't start your car.
You are very playful. Leave it, go.
Honey, we won't go anywhere if we don't It's me who starts the car.
Do you think this is a good site?
The site is good, But is the idea good?
Wow, you have become very cautious. You weren't so much before.
- You weren't engaged. - Now I don't think about that.
Now I just think that I am by your side.
- Do you realize what you do? - Clear.
We used to do it very often.
- What about Howard? - Howard is a nice fool,
loaded with money and I think Be the silly and nice wife.
But until the wedding I have the right To have fun to my liking.
- Welcome home, charm. - It's a happy return.
Julie? Open up, it's me.
Open the door, will you? I know you are there.
If you don't open this damn door,
I warn you that I will tear it down.
Do not dare to enter here.
Do not touch me!
Enough!
Mom, why did you get up?
You will not think that I will receive my girl Julie in a nightgown, right?
- Will come? - He sent notice this morning.
Mom, your lady wants something.
Sure if it comes here It's because the husband sends it.
I don't say I didn't ask for it.
But when we talk both, she Will fix everything and leave us alone.
- What if he insists? - Then I'll tell him we don't sell.
But if you have never dared To say no to a white.
True, but that doesn't count With my dear Julie.
Today you will see it. Today you will see that he always loved me.
Almighty God, there it is!
Wow, they are not white, what a disappointment.
Don't talk like that, Reeve. Hi Professor Thurlow, how are you?
Passable, Rose, only passable. And you?
- Very well thanks. - Glad to see you again, Aunt Rose.
Are you still single, Vivian?
Mom, you waste your time, It is too high for a farmer.
- Really? - For a farmer it is possible.
- Mom, it's here. - Very well.
I will thank you very much for taking to my son and entertain him for a while.
- Aunt Rose! - Julie, little one, my Julie Ann.
Aunt Rose!
You brought Colie, How much it has grown.
- Come, say hello to Aunt Rose. - Leave him, don't be impatient with him.
Let go, honey.
Go on, let them go.
I will put them in water.
I have to confess that never I had seen Colie so satisfied.
The children know who loves them.
Sometimes I think it was you Who invented love.
- At least for me. - Please, you will make me cry.
Will you let me do a little of work here?
- Of course. What are you doing? - A quilt.
Like the one my great-aunt did Isabel, do you remember?
Girl, she is very pretty and elegant.
I'm doing it for you Putting my love on every point.
For me?
It's barely A sample of my feelings.
- Hi, cousin Henry. - Hello.
- Hi, Lou. - Hello Henry.
- Is Rad? - No, it's in the city.
- Charles! Do you mind waiting for him? - Of course not.
What's up, cousin Henry? - Watch this.
- Is for me? - Perhaps. Let's see how you handle it.
Have you decided if you sell the farm?
That's a matter You must deal with him.
Ok, but you must decide soon.
Why?
Because I think Reeve will not be long in Decide to collect your 5 thousand dollars.
- Are you going to pay them like the whites? - If there is no choice, of course.
But if you decide first, with You could go up to 7 thousand.
- Rad can't take long. - All right.
Charles!
I do not mean that.
And Mr. Henry? How are you doing?
Very good, but always He is away from home.
Sometimes I think I will not see him again.
- Men work, girl. - Yeah sure.
Dad barely had a handful of lands when I married Henry.
And now Henry brings together almost all the lands that were from the Colfax.
It's what dad dreamed of getting.
I'm glad you do so well.
You know the great deal he made Henry with the people of Riverside.
They are going to buy all the land Dad left me.
- Really? - Henry works more than he can
to get it, and to Show you the love we have for you
has managed to offer for your You land both money and mine.
And he asked me I'll tell you the news.
Did you come for that?
Anyway I was thinking of coming to see you.
This week or next, But I wanted to tell you.
After receiving so much from you, I can finally give you something.
I do not need anything. This is my home. We live here Tell the young man like that.
Rose, you would be much better in the city.
You could live with Kissie's parents.
And I would go there to see you very often.
Do not.
- What does it mean? - I don't sell.
Aunt Rose, dear, I know what you feel.
But this is something that does not depend from ourselves.
This is the progress.
Do you think the twentieth century can stand up because you insist on retaining
- a piece of earth? - It's not my Julie who speaks.
Sounds more like Henry Warren.
I do not deny that this is a great opportunity for Henry,
but it is also for me, Aunt Rose
I think if Henry achieves this, Maybe it will change.
And maybe that way more children will come.
It is nothing less than my future what I ask now, Aunt Rose.
- It's my life. - I don't sell it.
- I don't sell my land, do you hear it? - But Aunt Rose,
you know perfectly well that you live in a piece of land that is from the Colfax.
It is mine and has always been mine.
We gave it to you during the war, It is true.
But if we did it was to avoid that the Yankees stay with her.
Since then we let you work it in exchange for paying taxes.
But there has never been any doubt about Who does it legally belong to?
You're lying.
Once the war ended, the Yankees requisitioned all the land
and then my grandfather, whom they had declared free,
He was hired as a day laborer. I work in a way that you don't even
could you imagine and got save money.
And when this land came out to public auction
He bought it for $ 200.
That is as true as the Gospel, and you know it!
Aunt Rose!
Aunt Rose! Aunt Rose!
Reeve!
Come quickly!
It has become very bad!
Mom I'm Reeve I'm here.
- He gave an attack suddenly and I ... - Vivian, tell the doctor.
Oh, Colie!
Enough, Colie, stop it!
- Let him go. - What?
Isn't it nothing, Aunt Rose?
Reeve, when it happens, Ask him to forget everything.
Tell him that while he lives he will be able to continue Being here in peace.
I give you my word.
Shut up, Colie, please. Who can stay here,
That I have said.
What's wrong with you, Julie? Come on, calm down.
- Can I help you with something? - No, it will pass.
- Henry, it was horrible. - Calm down, I'll take you home.
I told him everything about Riverside, as you wanted
and the poor woman suddenly got to the death...
Hi Rad, are you staying home? I would come back later.
Dad, look what he brought me.
I still don't know what I will do, Henry, But I don't count on you.
- You must hear what he has to say. - We will not sell.
There's nothing more to speak of. So go home.
- And take the toys. - It's a gift for Charles.
Charles already has a ball and his gloves.
Why do you say that? You know very well that I don't have them.
Henry Warren doesn't have to what to give us any gifts,
nor we to him.
Don't cry, my love. You are too pretty to cry.
Come on, don't cry anymore. Do you want to become ugly crying so nobody looks at you?
Daughter, what's up?
- Father! - Sukie, Sukie!
Sukie, baby ...
Sukie, sweetie? What the hell is going on?
- Find out for yourself. - It's what I try to do.
- Have you got sick? - Sick?
- His heart has been broken. - That Howard. Have you done anything?
It's closer. You have done it.
I'm not for jokes, don't make me crazy, Eula,
today I had a day very agitated, do you understand?
Very well, attend. I have a nice Novelty to communicate:
nobody will go to your daughter's wedding Except the next of kin.
- What? - Are you surprised? What did you expect?
Uploaded as always to your pedestal and threatening the pastor.
And moving the ceremony to Bay City.
Did you think the people here Would they stand against a Colfax?
- Do they have excused themselves? - Not yet, but they will soon.
Sukie has received several responses With evasive to your invitations.
Has anyone accepted?
None of the distinguished!
I never thought, Eula, that ... What are we going to do now?
What are we going to do? We can't do anything to avoid it.
You were the one who provoked it, And it is you who has to fix it!
But I can't turn now back, understand it.
Everyone heard me say it. What do you think what would happen in the next elections
- If I change my mind now? - What do I care if they don't vote for you?
If it hadn't been for the people from the countryside,
Where do you think you would have come at these hours? To nowhere.
You would still be tacky in our uncles store.
- Sukie, daughter. - Eula, let's talk calmly.
It's okay.
What mom
I was wrong.
- I was wrong. - Mom, whatever you did,
It was because you considered it fair. Do not be tormented by it, please.

and in this one, my last hour,
Do you know what I feel, son? Lra, yes. lra hate
not against them for everything what they have done to me,
but against me for consenting. I always helped them.
And that makes me suffer,
when I think my son, Now that death comes,
in how sad it has been my life.
Henry, do you know that because of you will I get very ugly?
- Made an ephesian. - Yes ma'am.
Today I feel more hungry never.
Are you going to keep loving me when do you gain weight?
If you want I will invent exercises Keep your line.
Do you know what you are? A depraved Blush your wife so early.
- I brought this for you to sign. - Now?
There is no better time.
You are the plague in question of business. What is it about?
Of eviction from Scott's farm.
- I already told you about that ... - Calm down, a little calm.
Look.
The date is not recorded. Not even It bears the seals of the court.
And I swear it won't come out from my box while Rose encourages.
So i don't see why I have to sign it at this time.
Don't you understand that I would be A miserable if I gave it to you to sign

All right, Reeve, squeeze now.
I assure you that you will pay me!
Get back to work! Get back to work! Do you hear me
All went well.
What kind of sheriff is it that allows That a black man walks with dynamite?
Of course I'm sure, that man put the load without any permission
and with my son a step away from there.
I had seen him, he is not blind. Listen to me, sheriff,
now they are intervening to Colie urgently
If you know what suits you, try to recruit people and go
to arrest that black right now.
- How are you, doctor? - It has a skull gap.
For the moment you must follow in observation.
We have to wait for tomorrow.
Carefully.
It has dynamite.
- Stay out, boys. - Will you come alone, Sheriff?
Yes, I'll scream if necessary.
Come on, Reeve, get out of your hiding place. And don't try to play it with me.
Keep singing
We love seeing you here, Sheriff
It's not a compliment visit, Vivian, I come to arrest Reeve.
In there it is.
Serve, fresh out of the pan.
The chicken is somewhat dry, This way you will find it better.
Thanks, Flo. Hey, Reeve.
- Hi, sweetie, how are you? - Not now, Clara. Reeve.
It was great, right?
It's the way Rad and Reeve improve your farms,
Like Riverside, right?
Hi Sheriff, can you Have a drink?
- I have to stop you, Reeve. - Why?
- Can you tell me what you are accused of? - He knows very well what he has done.
And I warn you, or are you coming for the good ones with me
or I will have to call my boys To help me take you.
- What's up, Sheriff? - Good evening, reverend,
I didn't expect to find you here. I have to arrest Reeve.
Henry Warren has presented a complaint
by blasting with dynamite What did.
Do you have the order?
What does the order matter When has the law been violated?
And even less in an urgent case how is this.
Sheriff, there are people outside, They say they are waiting for you.
Go on, go out and tell them to do the favor of not getting impatient.
I'm practicing here an inquiry
You don't know how sorry, professor. They've known me a long time ago
I like your friends and I like to play jokes
And have fun with you. The girls are funny too.
You understand me, the blacker It is the cherry, the sweeter the juice.
Have I not always treated you as if he were a father?
I can't know that, sheriff, a long time ago
I don't know what a father is.
Sheriff, are you alright?
- Calm down, I have things to talk about. - I don't know what he has to talk about.
Shut! If i need you I'll call you now.
Well, Reeve, let's go, on the go.
I wouldn't like it to get you in a mess for illegal arrest.
Should get the arrest warrant
I will have it when I need it Nothing else to do like this.
Reeve went blasting in some lands that are not yours.
- Sheriff, do you want to try my cake? - Clara, I've eaten too much.
The lands have not been touched from Reeve, sheriff.
Everything has been in the lands from Rad.
Well, that's not what Warren says.
Why then not wait to court tomorrow?
I guarantee that Reeve will appear. If it is proven that you have done something illegal,
You can arrest him.
- Well, your word is valid for me. - Take this for the road.
Thank you. Goodnight everyone.
- Where is the black? - What happen? Have you been kicked out?
- Has it escaped? - Get into your stuff!
It was a misunderstanding. For very little we screw up.
Why don't we take it?
Do you want to let it comply with my obligation?
When I need you, I know where it is. In the palm of my hands.
Standing please.
The judicial tribunal is constituted Supreme of Colfax County,
of the state of Georgia, presided over by the honorable judge Purcell.
God save the state and to the court.
Sit down
I will start the issue of inheritance of Rose Scott, recently deceased.
Do you want to talk, Henry?
Your Honor, I wish to introduce you Mr. Lars Finchley of Atlanta.
Do you represent Riverside in this issue?
Oh no, Your Honor. I defend the Mrs. Julie Ann Colfax Warren
as an interested party in inheritance rights.
All right. Report.
Mr. Judge, I beg you to wait a little. My lawyer has been delayed.
- Do you have a lawyer? - Yes sir.
Well, I confess that it surprises me. You don't usually come with lawyers.
That's why we usually lose.
Well there you If you want to waste your money.
Why a lawyer? This court is fair.
- Fair and impartial! - Yes sir.
I can't delay acting of the court.
But if you have any questions what to do,
or does not understand any legal technicality,
or not sure what are your rights,
I will answer everything in agreement? Sit down
- Sorry for the delay, Your Honor. - Who are you?
Carter Silens of Bay City. I represent to the property of Rose Scott.
Come closer.
Do you realize the exceptional what turns out to see here
to a white representing to a black?
No more exceptional than when my father introduced me
To a black man as a stepbrother.
Please do not display here Your dirty rags, sir.
I must tell him that his presence before me it constitutes an act
incredibly disloyal Towards a white community.
You can, but you will be proud To my stepbrother.
I would like to say to everyone that I have to challenge the irregularities
of the procedure
The accusation is illegal, as well as all the processing.
We have our standards in this county
Of course here we never accept recommendations
in favor of our citizens, or advice from Bay City,
About our judicial system.
- And this is a very modest trial. - If it really is a modest trial,
Why do i see a lawyer so prestigious?
Because here is an inheritance what is ventilated,
since Rose Scott passed away without testing.
Rose Scott did not die without testing, Lordship.
Here is your will That proves it.
Your Honor, with your permission, I think That will is something unreal.
Why?
Because there is a claim proprietary.
My client informed the deceased and his son of this whole affair.
And Reeve Scott was sent a Eviction order a few days ago.
Yes, I knew it. Concrete
If my client’s claim is valid, Rose Scott had no right
to leave the property to anyone.
However I bring here the copy of the deed of sale,
extended in this county on behalf of Jonah B. Scott,
- October 16, 1866. - Who makes that noise?
- I'm Vivian Thurlow. - What are these children doing here?
I teach you history. And I wanted that You will see how democracy works.
Then try to keep them quiet.
- What do we talk about? - Of the writing.
But this cannot be accepted as legal copy It is just a reproduction.
- And quite dirty. - However you want.
- Here is the original. - Let's see.
Well, it seems authentic, but we will have to send it
- to Atlanta to be legalized. - Your Honor.
- Mr. Judge, I think I can help you. - Say anything.
When the other day Your Honor He was kind enough to authorize me
to look at his file, I saw by chance the record of that writing.
Yes, Miss Hemmings gave me all facilities,
and, of course, for my friendship with The Scott checked the record.
Sorry, I think I remembered giving him a duster and asked him to clean a little.
I did not authorize him to snoop In the files.
No, it was Mr. Judge.
Miss Ada, have you seen that record?
- No, Mr. Judge. - Volume 10, page 136.
We only have his word.
- And why don't we examine the book? - An excellent idea.
Miss Ada, can I trust you that mission to you?
- I'll bring it in a moment. - Thank you.
- What mess are we getting into? - I know very well what I do.
I didn't know that man He was going to appear with a lawyer.
I intend to close the step For any appeal.
Or do you want my ruling to be revoked? by a higher court?
Now I understand.
Here it is, Mr. Judge. I take 10.
- All right, what page did he say? - 136.
133, 134, 135 ... Just a moment.
Here is not page 136, There is no record of that deed.
- It has to exist, Mr. Judge. - See for yourself.
From 135 it goes to 138.
It is impossible, something strange happens here.
You shouldn't be surprised by this, they are old groped records
and they keep very badly.
But sometimes they happen too convenience accidents.
What does it mean?
Your Honor, I would like Miss Vivian Thurlow will testify under oath
that she saw in the file, A few days ago, that writing.
You know very well that how much I said it could not be valid
and would be inadmissible.
- In spite of everything I ask to interrogate her. - Your Honor, I strongly oppose.
In agreement. In short, I do not argue what I will call your writing,
but until legalization arrives from Atlanta,
we must take statement to Mrs. Warren.
I ask that Mrs. Warren Get on the stand.
Raise your right hand.
Do you swear to tell the truth, all the truth and nothing but the truth?
- I swear. - Sit down please.
Tell me, did you speak personally with Rose Scott and raised
- your property right? - Yes.
I need it to complete Riverside.
It wasn't for the money, I already told him Rose who would give it to her.
What did she answer?
What could he say? I knew the lands were mine.
So he recognized that the lands were they from you?
Yes.
Now tell the court why Rose Scott did not abandon them.
It was very delicate.
I saw its end approaching and I knew I wanted to die in the house
In which he always lived. I allowed him to stay.
I couldn't deny it.
And there are still those who say that we are bad
Thank you, Mrs. Warren, that's all.
Wait a minute, Mrs. Warren. I would like to ask you some questions.
How long had he lived Rose Scott in those lands?
All his life. He came into the world there.
And his father also came to the world there?
- I guess so. - And his grandfather?
He was our slave, and, so Therefore, he was born in our lands.
- Is everything over yet? - No, and I have to hurry.
And the writing, that of these lands, Where is?
- Well, where he always was. - Reeve is being played.
They tangle everything to Henry take a slice.
They even bought someone to tear off a leaf
- from the record book. - You wouldn't expect anything else, right?
And what do you want this for?
It's the only thing that can help Reeve, My right confirms yours.
You've lost your mind? You will not take this to court.
I have to do it. If they get rid of him They can get rid of us.
- We are white. - It's not a matter of colors.
Do you think everybody will you think like that?
- I do not care? Give me that. - I don't want you to present it.
- Do you want to give it to me? - Do not! No, Rad!
I am interested in clarifying a point, Mrs. Warren.
It's about taxes that the Scott paid.
Did they tax for something that was yours?
Well, my family thought they should Pay something like rent.
They leaned for taxes and I kept it that way.
Thanks, you can retire.
Are you cousin Henry? I'm Charles Hey, dad wants to do something terrible
- and mom can't stop it. - Well, I'll take care of it.
Go back to your home As if nothing happened.
Summing up, Your Honor, those lands were ceded to grandparents
by Reeve Scott for the Colfax family during the course of the Civil War
so that they did not fall into hands of the Yankees.
However, such assignment, by verbal contract,
has remained current until now.
- The Scott family was allowed ... - Rad is coming here.
Ld meet him and stop him whatever.
Stop him before of entering this building.
In agreement.
Doctor, there will be no trace left, true?
And when will the results be of the analyzes?
Very well. Thank you Doctor.
- You know you can't enter here. - I have to talk to you, Mrs. Warren.
About what?
Please, Do you want to withdraw your claim?
- And because? - That land is nothing to you.
But for Reeve it is everything. It represents all his life.
Don't ask me for a tear for Reeve, That almost killed my son.
What?
Yes, Reeve put dynamite a few meters from Colie.
That is not true, Mrs. Warren, His son was not near there.
Lying for Reeve won't help of help
I do not lie. I saw it all.
Please leave.
If your husband told you that, It is he who lies.
I don't know why I did this.
- No matter. - Excuse me.
I understand, believe me, Mrs. Warren. I know what is happening.
- I was in a similar situation. - What are you talking about?
From what you said in court and of his behavior now.
Everything is a product of the same,
is turning In a bad being like him.
- It's enough! - In agreement.
- But I am grateful. - To me?
It has saved me from a mistake.
I was dominated by a kind of New York that is the same as her husband.
- A white man? - Do not.
That kind of men It is not a white monopoly.
But apart from the skin, they are like twins: ambitious and cruel,
- corrupters of ... - I won't tolerate you talking like that about Henry.
However you want. You do not believe what I just told you about your son, right?
There were hundreds of people there, You can ask anyone.
Sorry I was wrong.
The mistake is not mine, it is yours.
- What are you doing here? - A little cleaning.
I should have let you sell the farm to Henry.
Now it would not belong to us.
I wish we didn't have anything anymore. I see Dolph and his club
of hunters setting it on fire.
Don't you know what happens to the whites who help blacks?
And our children? What will happen to them?
They will grow among the hatred of others Children and all because of you.
You don't care about your family and what could happen to us?
Rad, I beg you.
- You won't go in there, Rad. - Get out of the way.
Push him on me! Let's go!
Sheriff, do something!
I ask that the claim not be admitted Mrs. Warren's ownership.
Petition denied.
I ask you to admit yourself the claim of reeve scott
on the property bequeathed legitimately for his late mother.
Denied
I ask that the deed of sale dated October 16, 1866
- be recognized. - Denied.
- Why? - Why?
Because the bad born he did this document
dishonored the flag and no doubt It was sold to the Yankees.
And I didn't even know what it is to write
You can't read anything, Is this a signature?
They are clumsy footprints of flies
But to reassure Mr. Silens we will send this writing
to Atlanta to see if they can legalize it.
It is very possible that they take a few months.
During that time the court will appoint an administrator
Take care of those lands.
Mr. Henry Warren, do you accept you that mission?
- Yes, Mr. Judge. - Just a moment.
- Who are you? - Rad McDowell, Your Honor.
Do you have something to contribute In the case of Mrs. Warren?
- Yes, Your Honor. - Then get on the stand.
Here is my writing that proves the authenticity of Scott's.
See, it says that my lands border on one side with the river
and on the other with a certain plot belonging to Jonás B. Scott.
- Is this writing authentic? - There is no doubt.
And can you read on it a fairly convoluted signature:
Purcell, Vernom C. Purcell. It's called like you, Mr. Judge.
Was it his grandfather, maybe?
Apparently I'm not the only one who has Dirty rags, Your Honor.
Silence, silence or I'll put them Everyone in jail.
This document does not change anything.
It is not related with the details of this case.
- Mr. judge. - Say, Mrs. Warren.
I have decided to withdraw my claim. The lands are from Reeve Scott.
Do you want to prepare all the papers to sign them right away?
Silence silence!
Go home, pick up my briefcase Travel and bring it here.
Why the hell did you do that in court?
- Don't raise your voice, Henry. - Forgives.
I need it for tonight. morning I will go for the rest of my stuff.
Wait a minute, Kissie. What does this mean?
I asked you a question!
- I'm staying here with Colie. - Why?
- It won't be worse, right? - Do you care?
- I know everything that happened there. - I can give you an explanation.
More lies no, please. Leave me alone.
Listen to me, Julie.
You will wake him up.
I will not leave here until everything is clear.
- Now listen. - No, Henry. Listen you.
The doctor believes that there is a possibility that Colie can heal.
As soon as I am discharged I will take him to the meningitis clinic,
from Topika. And if they can't there cure,
I'll take it to another one that they can cure it
or there is no specialist Who to turn to
We have no money for that.
Keep in mind that now that you have given your lands to Reeve
the deal he had with will be undone. Riverside and I will stay in the street.
I plan to put my house for sale and I will give it to the highest bidder.
- Where will we live? - Together nowhere.
- We are married. - For now.
This can not be.
Listen to me, it's too much important
To decide in a fit.
I love you, Julie. I need you.
I can not live without you.
Please don't trample six years of common life for a tantrum.
I'm not mad, Henry.
If I was still there would be hope.
I love you and I know that you love me too.
Come on, Julie, let's be alone for a few minutes
- and everything will be as before. - It's useless, Henry.
It's useless, huh?
You start to feel something.
That immense attraction that we both feel, huh?
Don't strain I only feel disgust.
You are a whore.
Who do you think you are? Where do you get that pride?
You need to go before the weekend
So they can see the house.
And where will I live?
In the riverboats,
or where you prefer.
Open the door!
You have the car keys!
Cousin Henry.
What are you doing here At this time, Charles?
I have escaped.
Go back to your house, do as If nothing had happened.
No one knows you told me.
Don't make me come back, please.
- Who? - It's me.
Did you miss the train from New York?
I have changed my mind, I can pass?
I will stay forever here in my post.
At the last minute I have decided that I am going To help you with this place.
Why leave and let everything Does this fall into the hands of another woman?
I come here.
I think this is The smartest thing I can do.
I love you
only you.
- Hi, is something wrong? - Charles is lost.
Lou and I are looking for him, Do you want to take care of others?
Of course. Come in guys.
- Have you had dinner? - Yes, thanks, Vivian.
- Well, leave calmly. - Thank you.
If I had continued with this
instead of looking for other things,
at this stage I would have succeeded.
He would have his own orchestra.
All.
I can still do it.
Nothing holds me here.
It is very possible that I will leave.
I went to California.
Do you know, Charles?
There dreams become it really is.
Remember it.
California is the future.
A man can be there whatever is proposed,
what you want.
And me, damn it,
I will be.
I would like to be your son.
Why?
To go there with you.
Why don't you take me anyway?
Please. I spend very little on eating.
I never cared about money. I will have everything I need.
Are you going to take me?
Why not?
Sheriff,
I'm sorry to come looking for you here, but since it was not in his office.
What happen?
- My son Charles is lost. - What has been lost?
Yes, nobody has seen him since dusk.
Well, it will appear.
Sheriff, my son Charles is lost and you must help us find it,
That is your duty.
Don't preach to me about matters legal after everything you've done.
Sheriff please maybe something might have happened, maybe ...
Maybe it's you You have looked for it.
- I beg you, please, Sheriff. - It's fine, it's fine.
No one is going to do No harm to the boy.
There is no reason for it, since it was he who prevented us
of what you were going to do.
Now it's my turn.
Wonderful, honey!
Take out another card.
Say?
Hello Henry.
Well, here nothing.
What?
Yes Yes.
- Yes, of course it will be fun. - We will meet in Riverside.
- Mr. Warren is not there. - We look for our son.
Charles, Charles, What a fright you have given us.
- Where is cousin Henry? - What were you going to do?
Why did you run away from home?
And why did you tell your cousin Henry that I was going to help Reeve?
- Do not hit me! - I will not hit you.
Don't be afraid of me, I will try of understanding everything you do.
- I'll help you. - We'll talk at home.
No, you should never have returned!
If they had killed you in the war You wouldn't go with the dirty blacks!
No, Rad. Leave him.
I do not care what you think about me, but I am your father and from now on
I will take you on the straight path.
Thank you.
- When do you want it to explode? - Within an hour or so.
Well, at 5 o'clock.
I will be in bed When everything starts, it is safer.
Are you there?
Wake up, fool!
- What's up, sir? - Where is Charles?
- Charles McDowell. - He returned with his parents to his house.
- What do you say? - His parents have come to look for him.
- Say? - Dolph, I'm Henry.
We have to prevent That blasting
- Go to hell. - No, listen, listen,
Charles is no longer in my house. He is there, he has returned home.
Better, the more, the better.
You have to stop it, Dolph, and right away.
It's not late. It can no longer be done Nothing unless you want to fly too.
Goodnight.
Cousin Henry!
Quick Charles! Let's go from here! Let's go!
- Come with me, come with me! - Do not!
Get out of here everyone, fast!
Run to Reeve's house! Run as fast as you can!
Charles! Where is Charles?
I will find it! You go, run!
Charles!
In a minute this will be hell! Do you want to die?
It fell when it came in search of Rad.
I killed him. It is as if I would have put a bullet in the head.
If I had not gone to court, I would be alive now.
They would not have had to take revenge from my. You notified me.
You did good. Now I have understood.
The last thing I did for Charles It was hitting him.
But he went to you, he didn't run from you. I had understood your feelings.
Let's go.
It seems that Henry has defeated us.
We can still avoid it. I am willing, Rad.
You can, I don't have a farm anymore.
But there is mine. We can work together and at the same time
- go tidy up your lands. - Two years at least.
And that? We are young. There's time.
I'm so sorry, Rad. We come to help you, boy.
Henry Warren's car, Always the first to arrive.
This is going to cost a lot of tickets to Riverside.
Sheriff, I won't sell dynamite again who doesn't know how to handle it well.
- Not even a black man. - Yes, we need a law against that.
