As Jake watches from the clerk's office window, Sisson reveals his identity as Mississippi's Imperial Wizard. The crowd of blacks inches closer and grows quickly, now outnumbering the Klansmen ten to one. Ozzie and six deputies step between the two groups as Sisson shouts into the microphone. The blacks begin to chant "Free Carl Lee." Sisson yells for the sheriff, remarking that this is the behavior you get "when you elect niggers to public office." From the third floor of the courthouse, someone throws a firebomb, igniting Sisson, and the riot erupts. The two groups brawl in hand-to-hand combat.
