(Skillet Scraping)

Looks like the Kents

are merrymaking.

Let's see ifwe can't

help 'em celebrate.

( Continues )

( Caller)

Oh,yeah!

- Stop the music.

- (Music Stops )

( WolfHowling)

( Growls )

That's what

we've been told not to do.

Now put that back...

and get your mother

and the otherwomen and children

down into the storm cellar.

- (People Chattering)

- Dad, what is it?.

- Mr. Webb, would you go to

the barn and let the horses out?.

- Certainly.

( All Shouting,

Indistinct )

- Ma!

- ( All Talking At Once )

( Chattering )

Be careful now.

Don't--

- ( Ma ) Be careful ofthose steps.

- What is it?.

- It's a raid.

- But why?.

- They hate us. We're Mormons.

Go on. Hurry now.

- Mormons?.

Hey! Here's one!

- Come on out, Mormon.

- Get out here and find out...

what the state of Illinois

thinks ofyou.

Come on, come on.

- (DoorSlams )

- (Footsteps )

Cut me some firewood.

Has-Has anything

like this ever happened before?.

Fiveyears ago in Missouri.

Just becauseyou people

are Mormons?.

Just because

we're Mormons.

- ( Crying )

(Gunshot)

(Gunshots )

I got one oftheir Mormon bibles.

Let's make 'em spit on it.

""Blessed beye when men revile

you and say all manner of evil

things aboutyou for my sake."

Don't ""blessed" us!

Come on

- Ma, they set the house on fire.

- Oh!

Now hide in the fields

until they're gone. Hurry! Quick!

This is whatyou can expect

ifyou don't clear outta here.

Why areyou doing this?.

We onlywant to live

in peace with everyone.

( Grunts )

( Ma )

Oh!

Caleb!

Oh, Caleb.

Dad!

Dad!

( Crying )

( Screams )

My father, Caleb Kent.

- How?.

- Beaten to death.

(Man )

JasperPalmer.

- How?.

- Beaten.

Well, what are you gonna

do about it, stand back and pray...

while they drive us

out of another state?.

The Lord works

in strange ways.

Sure, but that didn't

prevent him turning Samson loose...

on those Philistines

with the jawbone of an ass, did it?.

What those fellas need

is a little lead in their bellies.

- Ifyou saytheword, I'll--

- Tearthem limb from limb. I know.

- That's what they're itching for.

- Our people have had

enough troublewithout that.

They can't stand much more,

Joseph. They can't stand to

pull up stakes and move again.

Let's settle this

the wise way then.

Give them the political

power theywant. Vote

the way they say to vote.

(Man ) Yeah.

Let them use that powerto destroyus.

The authorities will protect us

ifwe do as they say.

I wouldn't trust them

any further than I can chuck a mule.

We can't take

any more chances, start all over.

We've got the biggest

city in Illinois to protect.

Promise them anything theywant,

only let's have peace.

What doyou say, Hyrum?.

A man has a right

to fight for his own life.

And you, Heber?.

Seems like

we'll have to.

Otherwise they'll drive us clear

out ofthe United States.
