All My Sons~ Act Two

Act Summary
In chapter two there's a whole conflict about whether Steve Deever was in fact responsible for the cracked planes being used for the war or if it was actually Joe Keller who was behind it all. George Deever comes from New York to visit his father for the first time since the war. He believes his father after visiting him and , now a lawyer, knows how to argue his point. He tells Chris he believes Joe was behind the 120 planes being flown out and his father was just carrying out the duty ordered by Joe. George also tells Anne that she can't marry the son of the man with blood on his hands who sent their father to jail. George goes back to New York after an argument with Chris. Anne refuses to go with him so he leaves alone. After George leaves there's a further argument between Chris and Kate; Kate insists that Chris can't marry his brother's girlfriend but Chris makes it clear he believes his brother Larry is dead. Kate says that if Chris believes Larry's dead then he must also accept that his father killed him. Chris is under shock by what he has discovered and argues with his dad. It is in this act that it's revealed Joe was behind the planes crashing.
