INTRUDER IN THE DUST

And my shoes, one for out of wax?

Not today.

Where is the Shoe?

Where are they all?

I have not seen

Black one today.

You do not know?

We killed one of Gowrie.

Who would do such a stupid thing?

Shot from behind. For a negro!

He had! The sheriff has had!

I did not believe he would have!

The sheriff stars! Come.

Drop her hat.

Knock his head.

The Gowrie will do that.

Stay away the guy.

Who punctured a tire you, sheriff?

Anyone who knows me wrong...

Hey, young man!

Tell your uncle to come.

Who?

He wants to see Stevens, the lawyer.

It will not itself a gravedigger!

I told you to go.

I will not repeat.

You're sweaty, Chick.

Where are you from?

The school and cinema are closed.

There are other "entertainment".

I'm hungry!

You have forgotten nothing?

You we say hello?

It's your home...

Well?

Paralee!

Reports chicken.

If left.

She's upset.

The assassin is not its parent.

No, nor that of Chick.

So, Chick, where were you?

Nowhere.

As explanation, it is better.

Can I have the salt?

Coffee, Paralee.

You were before the prison with the riffraff, right?

The show did you like?

People were looking, that's all.

You do not bougeras by before the case is resolved.

It's already arrived and it will happen again.

During my absence

I do not want make me worry about you.

Ni for Aleck.

It not listen.

He listens Chick. Not his mother.

Everybody stay home.

All this nonsense because of a...

Your friend Lucas Beauchamps is in good villains sheets.

It will finally put the in his place...

Chick!

I'll talk to him.

What...

He has not eaten!

It vexes him for his napkin under his chin.

- It is not "adult". - It is not.

I'll talk to him

Him come finish dinner!

What has happened?

Why did he do that?

Who knows? You never know...

Your friend Lucas ..

It's not my friend!

- Do not take it tragically. - No, of course.

It's stronger than me.

Why?

I do not know.

Say it to me.

I can not.

You're old enough to try.

And I, old enough to understand.

There are some time that...

I was hunting with Aleck.

In Edmonds?

That was in November. It was cold.

We hunted rabbits.

But nothing had lifted.

My gun!

Take away that, he can come out.

This is where

I met Lucas Beauchamps.

Come home.

Door his gun.

We hunted on his land.

His grandfather was a slave.

You had told me how he had these lands.

Because his grandfather was the cousin to whom they belonged.

Finally, Lucas had inherited.

It was the land Lucas

Just seeing Lucas, is included.

His land and his house.

Undressed.

Undressed.

He dominated me.

It caused me to eat his own meal.

What's it for?

Pick it!

Collect money.

Makes it to him.

I was so angry.

I was ashamed.

He knew what I did not know.

What I did not understand.

That I was his guest in his house .

Now will pull your rabbit.

And falls more with water.

I longed to be at Christmas.

I bought cigars for Lucas.

And snuff for his wife.

I wanted to pay, and widely.

But he dismissed the whole.

It even added a gift:

Molasses.

And it's a white that charged bring it to me!

I wanted to have the last word.

I économisai 25 cents a week on my salary.

I wanted to spend more he could not go.

Mother helped me.

We bought a beautiful dress for his wife .

I thought it would sell.

Let me say thank you.

But no. Nothing.

I saw once

After that. He passed without seeing me.

As if I did not exist.

I tell myself that it was a done deal.

Then I learned of the death of his wife.

She was dead before I send the dress.

You may feel sad, or proud, or only...

Although it has dark skin.

I tried to see but without going home.

I choose a neutral ground: a store.

There was every Saturday.

Two of Gowrie son were there.

Crawford Gowrie...

Vinson and her younger brother.

Negro Dirt!

Get out of here, Lucas!

Get out of here, come on!

I did not follow.

I do not know why.

Perhaps because Vinson was white, and me too.

And Lucas was not.

And eight days later,

Lucas Vinson Gowrie killed by a bullet in the back.

Yet he believes me his friend.

Continue.

He wants a lawyer.

That's all?

He asked.

You can go now, Uncle John?

It's not so eager.

Chick... they will do nothing.

Not openly.

They have too ashamed after.

And if you're wrong?

They expect the Gowrie.

And bury Vinson Gowrie

Before taking care of Lucas

And then they hang?

The Gowrie are good to drink and fight.

But it's Sunday, even for them.

They will wait at least until midnight.

What if they do not wait?

There will be a steel door and the sheriff Hampton before them.

Let us not mingle.

But you go see it?

It does not serve much.

Well, I'll go.

Take me.

After dinner.

What if they come back?

Lucas should have thought of that before killing white!

Come and eat.

Good evening.

You're early. The Gowrie are not there yet.

Maybe they will not.

They revenge Vinson.

Lucas could have known!

It's true.

My wife is sick but if you need me...

They can count on you, right?

Liley not hate Lucas. He loves the contrary.

Provided Lucas remains in its place of negro.

Now Lucas killed a white.

So the white burn Lucas And everything is in order.

Liley generously contributes the cost of the funeral!

- Who is it? - Friends of Mr. Liley.

Good evening.

So it took as you keep company too?

I'm his lawyer.

Will does not even close the door !

I obeyed the sheriff

The sheriff pays me $ 5 per night to repel any attack.

It grows as you will stop the Gowrie with your newspaper?

But I am not alone.

You are there and you are armed.

Me? Resist people for $ 75 a month?

The Gowrie had better liquidate Lucas yesterday.

They will not liquidate.

Oh, you worry. I will protect.

I also took an oath.

I will do my duty:

I will not let them take my prisoner .

But that does not please me.

I have a wife and two children.

What will they kill me if I did?

Look.

They can not sleep.

They know that there are white desperate to sprinkle gasoline.

And they will surely not the sort prior to the fire.

- He is entitled to a cell? - It's orders.

I do not know what my next white prisoner will think!

I still removed the covers.

He will not have time to get cold.

You went too far this time!

You will hold me?

You want me to plead your cause?

I can pay. Do not worry.

I do not defend those who kill from behind.

We're not at the trial.

I want to hire someone. Not necessarily a lawyer.

Why?

You agree?

Yes. as soon as you told me

What happened.

Not now...

You tell that to the Gowrie when they come.

So you not agree?

But I will defend you anyway.

Why did you kill Vinson?

Because of this history to the store?

I can testify.

Lucas has too many witnesses.

There were two white... Two associates...

In a sawmill.

Who?

Vinson Gowrie was one of them.

If you said "Sir" to whites, you can not possibly be here.

I have to start now?

Say "sir" to whites that will burn me alive?

The sheriff will not allow that.

He is at home in bed

Will Legate is on call downstairs.

Will Legate? I do not know him.

Legate to none to shoot deer.

The Gowrie are wolves...

No deer.

I stay with you until tomorrow if you want.

Vinson Gowrie had a partner. Who was it ?

Vinson is the only one known.

Because it was cowardly assassinated!

Beautiful celebrity!

Who was the other partner? What's his name ?

A man...

Flying wood almost every night.

- How do you know? - I saw it !

So what?

Your answer me.

You will defend me?

It's impossible.

You shot a white man. What did you expect?

What you thought?

You can not hope that mercy .

Well?

What?

Continue your story.

That's all.

I will continue for you.

You saw Vinson to shop and you told him that the flying.

He called you a liar.

To save face.

It hit you, thrown to the ground...

And you shot him in the back.

No one hit me!

Not even for self-defense!

Listen to me.

I'll make you judge in a county where is not known to you.

I call upon your age.

You plaideras guilty.

Far from here, you will be safe.

You want me to stay tonight?

No. I was questioned all night yesterday.

I want to sleep.

If you stay, you talk all night.

And you want us to help you?

Not for nothing. I will pay.

That's not enough, in your situation.

It's broken.

I would smoke if Gowrie leave me in time.

Not tonight. You want to sleep.

You gonna help, right?

Yes. I will ask a transfer.

We plead guilty.

He will tell you perhaps everything.

It killed Vinson Gowrie, that's all.

We had the lead, but he still killed.

He wanted to tell you something.

I know what he wanted.

He wanted to tell me a lie I could not believe it.

But I should think, as his lawyer.

Let's go.

I want to bring him tobacco.

You'll go tomorrow.

Your father defended out.

I know!

Returned, and fast!

Encore?

- I forgot something. - Come back tomorrow morning.

It may not find what he seeks tomorrow.

I speak to him through the bars.

What should I do?

Go there.

Where?

Where Gowrie bury their dead.

15 km after the bridge in the hills.

Look at him, that's all.

Why would I do that?

Approach!

My gun is a Colt 41.

Well, so what?

It has not killed with a Colt 41.

With what then?

How gun, Lucas?

I'll pay the price you want.

Why me? What can I do ?

Your mind is still free.

Your uncle, he knows too much.

Tell me what to do.

Va Chapel in Caledonia.

There? In the middle of the night ?

Even the sheriff only going forced.

I have to be here at midnight because of Gowrie.

I know.

I'm not sure how to...

Get there.

I'll try to wait.

He told you what?

Nothing, Mr. Gowrie.

You've gone there twice.

Why not?

He killed my brother.

It will not be transferred. It will not escape us!

What were you doing there?

He asked me tobacco.

From tobacco!

Vinson was buried this morning. He killed her.

He told you what?

That was not his gun.

It is smart! I would like.

He said it was not his gun?

If I were Lucas, or other lethal ignorant

I would say the same!

That's what Crawford said.

I saw him outside the prison.

It is already there...

I say the same thing a Gowrie.

When it comes to life or death, our vocabulary is limited.

Oh, excuse me. Good evening, Miss Habersham.

Good evening.

But for the van Miss Habersham,

That there are two hours crushed an old rooster

Whose owner says it was a thoroughbred,

Worth at least $ 7

Why there are millions of words!

If he wanted to kill a White why choose this area?

This is the worst place of the county!

Perhaps the world...

If he wanted one here, why Gowrie?

And if he needed a, why shoot him in the back?

Perhaps the does not has it not?

It is not by going to the grave.

Lucas asked you to do?

The sheriff could.

Do what?

Dig up Vinson.

It could retrieve the ball...

See if it is that of a Colt 41.

Vinson Gowrie Digging a dedicated ground?

Violate the grave of Gowrie to save a Black?

His father would surely prefer

Whether to steal his gold teeth!

Although Lucas is right, we could not.

Neither you nor you nor I...

Neither the sheriff!

Neither the governor nor the president!

This is Chick!

- Aleck, you do not go out tonight. - I have not said that I was leaving.

He took a horse.

You not take care of him.

Make it in your head!

This Lucas thinks smart!

Why did he do that?

Go! Do what you want !

I'm going nowhere. In any case, not later.

Where you going?

- Far enough. - Where is it ?

Enough away not to see what will happen tonight.

It's a long way!

What did Lucas say?

- That was not his weapon. - And ?

He wants me to dig up the body.

Where?

But I can not!

I have a lamp.

Find a pick, a shovel.

It still will burn.

Before you started digging.

How far?

15 km in the hills.

We need the horse.

You come with us?

We will finish the trip with the horse. That will make less noise.

You know how to drive?

I have to go there!

I know.

Neither Stevens nor the sheriff

Neither the governor nor the president.

Neither me. But somebody has to go.

Cross the bridge will make noise.

Must go through the water.

- What has? - It smells like quicksand.

A mule down the hill.

Who was the man?

I could not see.

I have seen nothing at all!

If he saw us? And if he comes back?

Suppose the opposite.

There.

No need to pick.

Good.

Take a board and help him.

Ski, Aleck.

We need a crowbar.

And the rope. It was forgotten.

It is empty.

You would not come here at dawn to tell me a lie.

Lucas might be innocent.

It could have killed Vinson, not dig it.

Vinson was buried Sunday afternoon.

It's been six hours that Lucas was in prison.

Vinson is no longer in the tomb.

But it is not official...

And you want me to exhume?

On Gowrie own land!

Who will get their permission?

You sheriff

Or you, the lawyer, the talker.

I'll tell him what?

What we want to save a Black accused of killing her son?

There will never accept.

I will open the tomb without permission. But in daylight.

Have we waited for the day?

What will it Lucas?

A steel door protects.

A door opens.

Mr. Tubbs is no miracle.

Legate is there, armed.

To fight against Gowrie whole family!

Against a crowd that he can even armed?

We will be back before then.

And if not?

It does everything he can. Do not ask for more.

You have no us accountable.

It's Lucas you have to render.

I refuse to take a decision before lunch.

Drink your coffee. Talking slows the sheriff!

Lucas persuaded me of his guilt.

And you otherwise. How?

You too.

What would actually Chick and Aleck

If they had found a corpse.

I have not thought about that.

I did.

Sucre it, kid.

And you opened the tomb of a white!

Miss Habersham forced you to go?

I did not know I was going prior to it!

Why do not I believed in Lucas?

Why does he not believe me?

You are white. And a white manhood.

I know the song.

For something to be done...

You do not address men.

Their mind is not free. Address yourself to children.

That's what you think?

Drink. You delay us.

Between Lucas and me, there is a wall.

Neither he nor I can cross it.

Perhaps not it?

Perhaps it just me, because I was blind.

Will Legate! What are you doing here ?

I have 3 km to go to milk my cows!

Who is on duty?

I'll wake Tubbs.

All is calm at the prison.

Let's finish our breakfast.

No one could remember the crowd.

If. Someone... temporarily.

Someone who would not be armed.

A woman...

A white woman.

I find the occupation...

If Mrs. Tubbs make me the conversation!

I'll find something to sew.

Aleck lead me.

You went before. You have to go through.

You must be right...

Who wants more than two eggs?

Some had the good sense to stay home : blacks.

They will seek Lucas!

Not those. Not without the Gowrie.

They go into town for fun and wait for Gowrie.

Now for us to go there. And to do our job.

Come on guys, get to work.

No need to linger here.

What happens?

I open this fall, Mr. Gowrie.

No, sheriff, not that grave.

If Mr. Gowrie. I'll open it.

Go to the car!

I do not have one after you. It's the sheriff that I speak.

Your son is not in that grave.

I pity those who say that!

It's empty.

I saw last night.

Take those shovels.

They are the County.

If we break, being asked to trial

What have they done to my son?

I think you you doubt that something was wrong.

If you'd been in town and Lucas would be already dead.

Why?

Why, Mr. Gowrie?

I have found traces!

Look! They're back!

Was attached a beast.

It stopped there.

Aleck saw a mule.

Aleck? Ah, another detective?

And its rider, mule?

Someone took Vinson.

One who exhumed the body...

For we do not find the ball.

One who knew the ball was not coming Colt Lucas.

The partner of Vinson?

Lucas refuses to say his name.

You think about his partner...

Who was he?

- First Vinson's find. - With your dogs...

My dogs? They can follow the footsteps of anyone.

But Vinson did not work... Neither left traces.

Relax!

The man who wore it worked!

And fast!

For the two children and the wife do not see it.

He had to hide the body.

Quickly. In the river or...

- In the sand! - What sand?

There quicksand close.

Put my son in quicksand!

Who would do that?

Nub, grab my hand!

Take the ropes dogs.

Cut branches!

Warning!

Faster!

Your hand, Nub!

I found it! I'm on it!

Pass me the pole.

Gently guys... here.

My son... take it out of there!

Well, shoot now.

Put it there.

This is Vinson.

Let's hide it,

That people do not see it.

They will not see it.

They are in town now.

And now, just a three and a five.

So, Mr. Gowrie, you waiting for?

His father and brothers!

And the others, they do what?

They expect to be part of the jury.

Get out of there, Miss Habersham.

I am very well here.

There is a solution: carry it out.

There is another solution.

You hide me light.

I do not hurt you. But you are wrong in your.

You get tired...

And then we will enter.

I'll be 80 years old. I'm not tired!

Go home.

Come all!

Go home!

You should be ashamed!

I have not seen that killed Vinson.

But you must know.

You'll be in danger as we did not have found.

Until it is not right here!

You are a lawyer, you know law.

May imprison someone without proof ?

In your case, yes.

Can burn someone on mere suspicion?

There are more than a hint against you: you had a gun.

- It was Saturday... - Why are you wearing a Colt?

Mr. Carrothers had sold me.

It was the Saturday.

But it is a white man.

That is the explanation.

On Saturday, you wore a Colt as a white man.

Just...

It took my Colt

My hat and toothpick. It will make me?

I was wrong.

It's you and Chick were right.

Now I'm trying to save you.

To soothe my conscience.

You want what?

The truth... nothing else.

There were two white people...

One was Vinson. And the other ?

I do not sleep much. So at night I walk.

But not to spy, of course...

So I walked...

I went near the sawmill.

And then I saw headlights were heading straight for me.

A sawmill, there were two associates.

And one of them was flying wood.

Perhaps every night.

He had seen me. And I understood he would not stop there.

I heard a mule happen.

It is for you?

Who was that?

You saw the driver of the van!

He too would not in there.

Saturday by going to the store, I pull a rabbit.

But I miss.

3 km further

I see Vinson.

He asks me who was the thief wood.

I had not decided to speak.

He said he would decide me to caning.

There has never done.

I do not know with what they shot.

I have not seen the kind.

It could have killed me. But it was he killed Vinson.

The murderer you had watched all afternoon.

The rabbit you had missed given the chance...

You to endorse his murder. And see you lynched.

So it would be immune from suspicion.

His plan had every reason to walk .

And he would have succeeded, if one day...

A young White, on your land...

Had not nearly drowned.

The corpse has delivered us

Some thing interesting.

She was arrested not his sternum.

It comes out of a rifle.

Who shot?

I have not even seen the rifle.

You suspect who shot well!

I will send not a man in jail on suspicion .

- You doubt me? - I rely on the ball.

It's not you who fired.

You do not exhumed the body.

But so try to explain to the crowd below...

To save you, must catch the culprit.

I'll show you how to catch .

You have to choose the right bait.

How?

Give me my hat: I'm going.

Impossible.

In truth, you are free with this ball.

But if you go out, you're dead.

You will hold at most 5 minutes.

You always want your hat?

And my Colt and my toothpick.

I think I have an idea.

You will be able to go home.

I do not mind. I have company!

I see it...

Hey, the lawyer!

You still went to see him.

- What you gonna do? - Him save life.

You were not paid enough!

Some things do not pay!

I'll get him released.

And he goes home.

Wait!

You're going to defend? Try to get him released?

A White defends a murderer negro?

Lucas is innocent.

Not for us.

We have evidence.

They do not believe you.

The murderer believes me, but who is it?

It is spinning...

Yet there is a thing he is sure to do.

He was distraught when he dug his victim.

And when he had to bury again...

Alone and in the dark.

One man against the world.

It must have been horrible!

Every time elapsed since Saturday had to torture him.

Other

Do not know but he knows that he is lost.

He loses his freedom as losing blood.

You know what it will employ which left him?

A revenge.

You do not have a rifle?

Do you know which one?

Sit down, Mr. Gowrie.

At least move away from the window.

You sent for me.

To show me that killed Vinson.

It will come.

Before the end of the day, it will come to kill Lucas.

I do not Lucas.

Now he is there.

This is his wife?

It was. She is dead.

There are two years. Or three.

Mine died 25 years ago.

At the birth of the twins.

Raising his boys alone, it's hard.

Five son...

That it did not come from a Colt.

Show yourself, dirty negro!

Wait.

- Let me through. - You need help.

I do not need anyone.

I'll do it.

You have nothing to do here.

Move over.

Give me that.

You killed your brother with that?

That's it, sheriff?

Yes, it's him.

It was he who killed his brother.

True, Nub?

It's true. He killed her.

They fled.

It's something else.

No, that's it.

They flee to avoid being forced to acknowledge their error .

It's worse than that...

They flee Lucas Beauchamps.

To not have to forgive him trouble it caused!

They will all life for that.

So they flee Crawford not to have to burn.

They flee neither Lucas nor Crawford.

But admit they flee!

It's true, I can not deny it.

They flee themselves.

If you have any trouble, let me know .

You see?

We have trouble... No Lucas.

Everything will be fine...

You think?

Everything will be fine as

You, Miss Habersham, Aleck...

Or me, we will not run away.

As long as there someone.

It's a beautiful day. So Goes to the baseball game.

That Lucas.

This is a gentleman. It does not remind me of my wrongs.

So, Chick, one falls more water?

I'm doing this as home.

You're welcome there.

Sit down, Lucas.

I owe you money.

Not to me.

It is to him that you have freedom.

So I'll pay it.

You can not pay it, it is not a lawyer.

I'll pay your expenses, then.

I did fix my pipe.

$ 2.

It's cheap.

I'm a farmer.

And you're a lawyer.

It's not for me you learn your craft.

There is a dollar 50.

Do not worry.

There. 50 pennies.

I had to wear them to the bank.

Count.

You pay. Account, you.

There are 50.

The business is business.

You should go see Miss Habersham too.

I do not get out much.

Porte her flowers.

I have no since the death of my wife.

You can find in. You owe him that.

Keep a crowd at with a sewing thread!

Okay. There is something else for you?

Why did not you tell me the truth...

That night in jail.

You would have believed me?

What are you waiting for?

My received.

They do not see it. Nothing happened.

- They see it. - They do not notice it.

They see it as I see it. And they always will.

Proud, stubborn, exasperating.

But it is the keeper of my conscience.

From our consciousness.
