Attention, out here!

Gentlemen,
you want to step forward?

Lady, you want to let
the menfolk through?

The auction's about to commence.
All right.

Our opening bid is $500.

Do I hear $500?

$500.

Well,
we got ourselves an opening bid.

Now do I hear $550?

$550 for this lovely house

located right here
in the heart of town.

- $550.
- Whoo.

$550 it is.

Do I hear $600?

$600 folks. Look at her.

All she needs
is a little fixin' up.

It will make
an ideal business downstairs,

fine home upstairs
for some lucky family.

Somebody's wanting to expand.

$600.

- $625.
- $640.

$650.

Do I hear $675?

No.

All right.

$650 going once,
$650 going twice.

$700.

$700.

$700 going once,
$700 going twice.

Sold to the man for $700.

Step right up, sir, and get
the title to your new property.

Oh, I can't believe it.

Believe this.

You know,
I -- I must apologize, sir.

It seems that I have made
a terrible mistake.

Mistake?

Yeah, I seem to have
miscalculated the minimum bid.

I -- I started m-much,
much too low.

That can't be.

Well, looking back
on what we've got invested here,

the bank would have my head

if I were to let it go
for this amount.

But you -- you said, "Sold."
And I paid you.

Well, only the bank
determines when a sale is final.

We have the right
to sell to whomever we choose.

I know what you're doing,
mister.

Don't think I don't.

And our money is as good
as anybody else's.

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

You know exactly
what she's talking about.

If it were up to me...

It is up to you, Mr. Bancroft.

It is up to the
First National Bank of Denver.

Oh, it's you again.

Yes, and you didn't like
selling me my property

any more
than you're liking this.

Now, see here, don't think --

Robert E.
was the highest bidder.

You accepted his offer.

That will stand
in a court of law.

I bought that house
fair and square.

It's mine.

He may have bought it,

but he ain't never
gonna live in it.

I got it.

Good morning.

Oh, that it is, Dr. Mike,
a very good morning.

Congratulations
on your new house.

Why thank you, Brian.

You must feel wonderful.

Oh, when I think
about how long and hard

we worked, saving every penny,
doing without.

Oh, I can't tell you
how wonderful it is.

Ah, needs a little work,

but I'll have it in fine shape
in no time.

When are you planning
on moving in?

Well, if the rain stays away
and the good Lord's willing,

we'll be putting out
the welcome mat come next week.

We'll live upstairs,

and downstairs...
a brand-new kitchen for my café.

And no more freezing your tail
off at that outdoor stove.

- Robert E.
- It must be exciting.

I woke up today
and thought, "Am I dreaming,

or did I buy myself a house
yesterday?"

He made me
pinch him to be sure.

Well, good luck
with everything.

Just call us
if you need any help.

You already helped, Dr. Mike.

Morning, Loren, Jake.

Don't you think
it's wonderful,

Robert E. and Grace
getting their own house?

Not everybody is
so all-fired-up about it as you.

Well, they must be envious.

It's an adorable little house,

and I believe
they got a bargain.

Loren's always had his eye
on that place.

Oh, you should have
bid higher, Loren.

Morning, folks.

I need to buy some nails.

Thought I had enough
to finish the railing.

Well, we're out of nails.

But I just
bought some the other day.

You had plenty.

Well, we're out of them now.

Can you,
uh, get some from Denver?

That could take three weeks.

Three weeks!

I have some up
at the homestead, Robert E.

They're Sully's, but I'm sure he
wouldn't mind if you used some.

Thanks.
I'll, uh, I'll ask him.

Just because you wanted
that house for yourself, Loren.

Aw, that ain't it.

Never had
no colored neighbors.

Don't want to have any now.

Hey, Sully,
can you make that one a bear?

I'll try.

Ma,

why doesn't Mr. Bray want Robert
E. and Grace as his neighbors?

Well, Brian, I'm not sure
that's quite the way he feels.

Yes, he does.
He said it right out loud.

He don't want
no colored neighbors.

Well, he did say that, but --
but it's hard to believe

that he really means it.

Of course he means it.

You see the way he treats
Indians and the immigrants?

Why?

Well,
some people aren't very tolerant

of others who are different.

They -- They're afraid
of what they don't know.

But everybody knows Robert E.

He's just the same as us.

Yes he is, Brian.
He's just the same.

- Matthew, where are you going?
- Out.

At this hour?

There's a meeting tonight.

I didn't hear
about any meeting.

It's for the menfolk.

New social club, I hear.

I didn't hear about it,
neither.

Who's in this club?

If I don't go, I'm not
going to find out, now, am I?

Um...gentlemen, can I
have your attention, please?

Eh, everybody in place?

First of all, I want
to thank you all for coming.

I brought a few of my boys
from Denver

to tell you all about a new club
that we got.

You may not have heard of it.

That's because it's brand new.

We call it the KKK.

This club was started

by Confederate General
Nathan Bedford Forrest.

He is the Imperial Wizard.

I am the Grand Dragon
of the Colorado Territory.

Wizards and dragons.

Um, what's the KKK stand for?

It means Ku Klux Klan.

Cute Klux what?

Sounds like
some Injun gibberish.

It's Greek.

It means circle.

You know why?

Circle is round and strong

'cause it don't got
any openings.

It is solid.

And that is just the way
we got to be.

It's up to us, the menfolk,
to protect our towns.

Keep them the way we like them,
the way they ought to be.

But first, we're going to
have ourselves a little fun.

What do you call fun,
Jedediah?

You'll see.

We'll meet again tomorrow night,

and by then, we'll have
some surprises for everybody.

Welcome, welcome,
welcome, welcome.

You're in the right place.

Proud of you for coming.

Nice to have you.
Nice to have you, gentlemen.

So what time
did Matthew get home last night?

Oh, I don't keep track
of things like that, Dorothy.

After all, he's 18 years old.

Almost midnight.

I'm not sure I like the idea
of this new club.

Oh, I think
it's a wonderful idea

for the men
to have their own club.

It's kind of
like our quiltin' circle.

Well, that's true.

It keeps them
out of the saloon,

away from drinking and gambling
and whoring.

I wonder what they do, then.

I don't know, but whatever it
is, it's none of our business.

I'm just glad
that we can contribute

by sewing their uniforms.

There, that came out
kind of nice, don't you think?

I ain't gonna wear no dress.

No dress, Hank.

It's a robe.

Jedediah says
we got to wear them.

All the fellas in Denver do.

I kind of like 'em.

Me, too.

Tonight, I'm going to
teach you all something new --

the secret sign.

Now repeat the secret oath.

Fight for the right.

Die if we must.

And always remember,
in God we trust.

Fight for the right.

Die if we must.

And always remember,
in God we trust.

Now we're going to have
ourselves a little hunt party.

What are we hunting?

You'll see.

Hey!

Whoa.

Huh!

Get him, and get him good.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?
Robert E., no!

Ah!

What the heck are they doing?

Put your hood back on.

Again!

Come on, let me get him.

Dr. Mike, Dr. Mike.

- What happened?
- They beat Robert E. bad.

I didn't know.

I didn't know.

Some friends came to help when
they heard what happened to you.

I really think
you should rest today.

You should listen to Dr. Mike.

I got to go
get my horses back.

A-And I got a lot of work to do,

if I'm going to move in
by next week.

It looks like there's folks
planning on you

never moving in at all.

I ain't worried
about those folks.

You know how Jake got when

he found out I was putting
the livery across from his shop?

After a while, it all blew over.

I don't know if this one's
going to blow over, Robert E.

It says here
that in Mississippi,

a colored man's running
for Lieutenant Governor.

It'll never happen.

What gives you the right
to beat a man

because he bought a house?

I beg your pardon.

Don't act like you don't know
what I'm talking about.

Robert E. was hurt last night,
and you were there.

And so were you and you.

We were at a meeting.

You ask any man in this town,
he'll tell you the same.

Well, that's not
what my son tells me.

Like Mr. Slicker says,
"Any man in this town."

Seems to me your boy
is a little soft.

Maybe if you
got yourself a husband

to see that he grew up proper.

You call it proper to sneak up
on a man in the dark

and fight him when
he's outnumbered 20 to one?

Matthew, don't.

Don't sink to the same level
as this pathetic --

Dr. Mike, there's no reason
to get so riled up.

Well, I think there's plenty
of reason.

This stranger is one thing,
but you?

I'm ashamed of the rest of you
and appalled by your behavior.

Robert E. is your friend.

Dr. Mike's right.

We ought to be ashamed
of ourselves.

Robert E.'s been in our town
a long time.

We ought to be over there
helping him out.

Robert E.

What's going on?

Well,
Dr. Mike was telling us all

we ought to apologize
to our new neighbor.

- All right.
- The fact is,

I told her I thought we ought
to help him with his new house.

That's a fine idea.

You missed a spot.

Nice color for the windows.

Stop it.

You don't like it,
I can fix it.

- Stop it, all of you.
- This is going too far.

This is my house.

Robert E., let it go.

- Whoa.
- Whoa, boy.

What did you say?

I said, "This is my house,"
and I am going to live here.

Now you can live here.

No!

- Grace!
- Grace, no.

Come on.

Who did this to you,
Robert E.? Who did this?

Sully, no, no.
This is my fight.

You can't fight them
by yourself.

If I can't,
I don't deserve this place.

You deserve this house
as much as anyone else does,

and you shouldn't have to
pay for it like this.

Tell it to the people
that brought me over here

on the slave ship.

Tell it to the plantation owner

who beat me bloody
whenever he felt like it.

A little paint
is not going to stop me.

What are you doing here?

I'd like to have a few words
with you.

And I have a few words
for you,

but propriety prevents me
from saying them.

I can't say that I blame you.

I have done some awful things.

Is it just our town,

or do you cause this much
trouble wherever you go?

The important thing is,
is that I have caused some pain,

and that is
what I hope to rectify.

I can see only one way
out of this mess.

What might that be?

I'd like to buy
the property back

at 10%
over the price he paid.

That's a healthy profit
for Robert E.

Why are you telling me this?

Because your friend
won't listen to me,

but he will listen to you.

And if you care about him at
all, you'll urge him to take it.

It's a generous offer,
Dr. Quinn.

Robert E. is his own man.

He'll make up his own mind.

Oh, well, I'm counting on it.

Good day.

$70 profit, Robert E.
That's a lot of money.

We're not slaves, Grace.

They can't buy us and sell us
anymore.

I'm just saying
we ought to think about it.

Look, I don't want the money.

I want that house.

So do you.

Not if it means losing you.

I don't believe
you're talking like this.

Aren't you the one
that's always telling me

how we got to stand up --

- Shh.
- ...to white folks.

How we equal?

We are equal.

Well, somebody
forgot to tell them that.

It doesn't matter
what those people think.

Yes, it does!

Don't you understand
what I'm saying?

I don't want you hurt.

I will live in that barn,

if need be, to keep that
from happening again.

Well, I won't.

I want to give you a home,
woman.

I want to carry you
across that threshold.

I want to have fires
in our own fireplace,

pictures on the walls,

and our friends
to come to dinner

and our children to feel safe.

And I want to walk up
those stairs every night

and see your smiling face.

And I want us to live there
and love each other

for the rest of our lives.

It's hard to do that
if you're dead, Robert E.

Good morning, folks.

Has Dr. Quinn
informed you of my offer?

Yes, she has.

And?

What is your answer?

No.

Excuse me?

I said, "No."

Well, then I won't waste
any more of your time.

He turned down my offer.

I told you
he wouldn't consider it.

Now, that's unfortunate.

For him or for you?

For you, Dr. Quinn.

You know what this is?
You ought to.

It's the mortgage
on your clinic.

What are you trying to imply,
Mr. Bancroft?

Oh, I'm not implying anything.

I'm merely pointing out to you

what this contract says
in plain English.

Or maybe you never
read the fine print.

Yes, of course I did.

Well, if you did, then you know
about the Due on Sale clause.

That's where it says
that if our bank

should sell your mortgage
to another bank,

that your balance
is due in full.

It's this little thing that we
do to protect our investments.

But you can't sell
my mortgage.

I can if I deem that
the property values will decline

and we'll lose money,
which is what's going to happen

if a certain element
moves into this town.

- That's extortion!
- No, that is business.

I -- I gave you the chance to
make this whole thing go away.

You could have swayed Robert E.
to take my offer.

Anything that happens now
is on your conscience.

Come on, Loren,
what are you waiting for?

I didn't know they were
going to be using guns.

- Don't shoot!
- They're out here trespassing.

Robert E., no!

Come on,
let's get out of here!

Move.

- Ha!
- You've been warned.

Don't, don't, don't.
Robert E., honey.

I can't believe
it's come to this,

that those men
would destroy your café

just because you wanted
to buy a house in town.

I'm so sorry, Grace.

So am I.

- Dr. Mike, you've got to come.
- What?

Loren's been hurt.

Aw, what'd you bring
her in here for?

You need a doctor, Loren.

Jake will look after it.

Let me take a look at that.

I already stopped
the bleeding.

That's not enough, Loren.

This is buckshot.

I'll need to take them out
or you'll get lead poisoning.

I'm going to ask you again,
Loren Bray,

how in the world did you
get buckshot in your arm?

Well, tell her, Loren.

He was riding with that new club
of his, wrecking Grace's café,

and Robert E. shot him.

Robert E. shot him?

You don't know
what you're talking about.

I saw it.

Robert E. has no right
to raise his gun to a white man.

To any man,

unless he's protecting
his property or his life.

I don't know about that,
Michaela.

So the fellas were feeling rowdy
and turned over a few tables.

That doesn't make it all right
for him to shoot someone.

You weren't there.
You don't know.

What I do know is this whole
thing has gone too far.

Well, I agree.

Something has got to be done.

Ah.

Ow.

We'd like some lunch, please.

Well, it looks like
you're the only ones.

It's no wonder.

- How could you write this?
- It's how I feel.

That Robert E.
shouldn't have that house?

It's how the whole town feels,
Michaela.

You can't teach an old dog
new tricks.

This is preposterous.

The people in Washington
have passed new laws and --

People in Washington
don't live here.

We do.

I thought you liked Robert E.
and Grace.

It's not meant to be personal.

Robert E. does good work
at the livery,

and we all adore
Grace's cooking.

So it's all right
for them to serve you

but not live next door?
Is that it?

We're all God-fearing folk,
Michaela.

It's just that I think that --
that well, that --

that people ought to stick
with their own kind.

It's the only way
we can have peace.

If everybody stays separate,
then there won't be any trouble.

At what cost, Dorothy?

I mean, at what cost
do you keep everything separate?

Not only do they lose
their home,

but Grace's café is empty
because of your editorial.

Grace's café is empty

because her husband
fired a shotgun into a crowd.

We all know how dangerous
he's become.

I don't believe
what I'm hearing.

Michaela,
you are not from here,

and yet you keep trying
to change things.

Well, do you ever stop
to think

that perhaps some things
should be changed?

Do you ever stop to think
that maybe things are this way

for a reason?

Yes.

But all I can think of
is for the wrong reason.

Oh, uh, Dr. Quinn.

Did you get an opportunity to
examine that contract of yours?

As a matter of fact, I have.

And?

Take the clinic.

I beg your pardon?

Do whatever you want to do
with my mortgage.

I'll practice in the street
if I have to.

I'll pitch a tent.

I'll work from my wagon,

but I will never, never give in
to the likes of you.

Want some potatoes,
Miss Grace?

No, thank you, Brian.

It's kind of you

to let us stay
here in your barn, Dr. Mike.

It's the least I could do.

Why are you so different
from them?

My father
was an abolitionist.

He taught me
that all people are equal.

I teach my children the same.

Fight for the right.

Die if we must.

And always remember,
in God we trust.

Get off of my land!

We're not going anywhere.

Let's teach them a lesson!

Come on, men.
Let's go get them.

We'll show them who makes...

We can't stay here any more.

Tonight, we'll keep watch.
We'll be ready for them.

And what about the next night?
Or the next?

They've got to give up
at some point.

We appreciate everything
you've done, Dr. Mike,

but if anything were to happen
to you or the children...

Why don't you let me come stay
with you until things calm down?

I told you, Sully,
this is my fight.

I'll get our things.

Robert E.?

Why are you leaving, Robert E.?

I don't want those bad men
to come back again, Brian.

Why are they being so mean
to you?

My skin's a different color.

That's all?

That's all.

Maybe we could talk to them,

tell them
how dumb they're being.

I'm afraid nothing we could say

is ever going to change
their mind, Brian.

You know what it means
for one man to own another man?

Not really.

Let me show you something.

Nobody's ever seen this before.

What does that look like?

It looks like a "V."

The man that owned me,
name was Vernon.

No one owns me anymore.

No one can tell me what to do
or where I can live.

- Does it hurt?
- No.

But I'll always have it here.

I'll always remember.

I want you to remember, too,
Brian.

I want you to remember
what you saw last night.

Remember that no man has a right
to own another man.

There you are, Mr. Pressman.

Thank you.

I'd like to buy a hat, please.

Lordy,
what happened to your hair?

I would like
to buy a hat...please.

Of course.

How dare you burn a cross
at my home!

I am getting a little tired
of these accusations.

So unless you got some proof,

take yourself outside
and tell it to a fence post.

- Ow.
- Here's your proof.

Get your hands off of me.

If you don't get some care
for that arm,

you're going to lose it.

- Jake took care of it already.
- With what?

Linseed oil and lime water.

The serum needs to be
evacuated from the blisters

and a proper dressing put on it.

Oh, let me see
if I get this straight.

After all that you say
that I have done,

you are now offering to help me?

I suppose I am.

Well, I find that mighty funny.

Because I would never let you
touch me

after you touched
a dirty nigger.

I feel very sorry for you.

Well, you should feel sorry
for yourself.

And you should watch your back.

You still got those little ones
at home.

Are you threatening
my children?

I'm just saying.

A lot of folks don't take kindly
to sympathizers.

You lay a hand on them
and I'll kill you.

I never thought I'd hear you
say that to anyone.

No one's ever
threatened the children before.

I realized something
just now --

It's not Robert E. who's
putting them in danger, it's me.

You're just standing up
for what's right,

just like you always do.

The truth is,
I was relieved when he left.

I'm afraid for all of us.

I care about Robert E.
just as much as you do.

If he wants to stand up
for himself,

there's only so much
you can do for somebody.

That's not
what you used to say.

Back then, I only
had myself to worry about.

There was a time
when all I had was myself, too.

Now there's the children.

Well, why don't we ask them,
see how they feel?

Let them decide.

Well, what do you all think?

Well, I think
that Robert E. was wrong

when he said
that this was his fight.

A lot of people died
fighting for his rights.

No man has the right
to own another man.

I think we ought to go
help Robert E.

Me, too.

Me, too.

Well, we tried...didn't we?

We did. That's right.

We gave the man a chance to see
the light, but he refused.

The choice was his.

He chose to go against us.

He broke the circle,

and we cannot
allow that to happen.

I don't know about this,
Jedediah.

If we let a colored man
buy property in our town,

he's going to want his children
to go to our schools.

He is going to want
to vote in our elections.

He's going to want to hold
office in our government.

Robert E. ain't never
going to run for no office.

It wasn't enough
that the war set them free.

No, now -- now they want it all.

Now they want what is ours.

And it is up to us to stop them
before it goes too far.

And I am sure you'll agree
that in this town,

it has already gone too far!

They took him.

- What happened?
- Robert E.

I -- I tried to stop them,

but there were just
too many of them.

Oh, no. Sully.

I know where they are.

They never said nothing
about a hanging.

I think they're just
trying to scare him.

I think they're really
going to do it.

Hold on there.

Wait, wait! Stop it!

Who is he?

Wait, stop!

No!

Don't let them do it. Stop it!

- Stop!
- Cut him down.

- Keep them back.
- No.

If you're going to kill a man,
you can at least show your face.

Aw, we --
we wasn't going to do it.

You're gonna stand here
and let it happen.

This man shot one of you!

This man is guilty of a crime.

The only thing
this man is guilty of

is wanting a better life,
like any of you do.

How dare you compare a darky
to a white?

Black or white, this man,

until a few days ago,
was no enemy of yours.

Jedediah Bancroft came
into this town

and told you different.

Why are you listening to him?

Because I am
a highly respected man.

I am a bank president.

Then perhaps your customers
back in Denver

would like to know that
their highly respected president

is also a thief and a kidnapper
and a murderer.

Ha!

Jedediah Bancroft
doesn't care about you.

He doesn't care about our town.

All he cares about
are property values

and making a profit
for his bank.

He's using you!

Look at yourselves in these --
in these ridiculous costumes.

He-He's making a fool of you.

I know how some of you
feel about negroes, Indians.

But I'm asking you
to look into your hearts

and decide if you really
want to kill a man...

for buying a house.

Don't let sentiment interfere
with what you know is right!

Let us do
what we came here to do!

I have a better idea --
why don't we all go home?

No, hang him!

Hang him!

I thought I'd make good
on my promise.

Back up, men.

Back up.
