Open them!

Open them! I dare you!

Open these!

Open these!

Sheriff...

Shut up!

Yes, Tyler?

Do you think you'll be able

to hold them off?

I can't lie to you,

it does not look good.

Sheriff, will you see what you can do

for my wife?

Please don't let anything

happen to her.

Nothing's going to happen to your wife.

I promise you.

Would you tell her to go home?

To Massachusetts?

Tell her I have some money.

It's in an old coffee cup

in the shed,

near the toolbox.

I was saving it for the doctor.

I'll tell her.

Howard...

Anything I can do?

My name's Gil Stanton.

- Gil Stanton, the newspaper guy?

- Yeah.

Look, I do not know how to say this...

I'm sorry.

It's alright, what you said about

me was the truth.

Please, Mr. Stanton, do what you

can for my wife and kid, please!

Yes, I will do everything I can.

Mr. Stanton, when you see them,

will you tell her that I love her?

No, don't tell her I love her.

Tell her to go home

and forget me.

Tell her to forget me!

Quiet! I want 50 guys with guts

to go in and get them!

Let's go!

Seen Clem Demig?

Let's go!

Come on and get me!

Come on!

Come on and I'll kill you!

Come on!

Come on and I'll kill you!

Come on!

Come on and I'll kill you!

There he is!

Stop!

There he is!

Let's go get them!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy, Mommy.

Tommy, baby.

What's the matter?

I'm scared, Mommy.

I'm scared!

Go to sleep, Tommy.

Go to sleep, baby.

Everything's going to be alright.

Everything's going to be alright.

Helen!

Helen, stay there!

Sheriff...

Sheriff, I...

That sound...

Never forget it.

I'll never let them forget it.

Well...I've got a newspaper to get out.

What are you going to say?

What do you want me to say?

You don't know?

Yes... I know.

Violence is a disease caused by

moral and social breakdown.

That is the real problem.

And it must be solved by

reason, not by emotion.

With understanding, not hate.
