''The Night of August Third'' (in French ''La Nuit du 3 août'') is the seventh album of the comic book series ''ComicBook/{{XIII}}''. It was published in 1990.
Jones and XIII are on the run, with the whole population of Greenfalls after them. When Judith enters her home, she comes across Jones and XIII, who everybody is looking for in the mountains.
----

* AbandonedMine: Jonathan Fly was killed in one.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Judith confesses she is in love with Dwight Rigby, even if he is a murderer and raped her when she was 14.
* AttemptedRape: When Jones flees in lingerie across the town, three yobs could shoot at her, but they would like to rape her first. Jones fights them back, then she is arrested by the police. Later, the same three yobs want to lynch her in her cell. One of them suggests to rape her beforehand, but another one answers that they do not have enough time.
* BigDamnHeroes: XIII arrives just in time to prevent the yobs from lynching Jones. Lampshaded by Jones who asks why he always intervenes in the last minute.
* ButNowIMustGo: In the end, XIII says that he will leave Greenfalls.
* ButtMonkey: David Rigby tells her LoveInterest, Judith, that he knows she slept with XIII. Then Judith refuses to sleep with him and rejects his marriage proposal because she knows she could not be faithful to him. Plus she calls him Pulitzer to mock him. Later, he discovers that his father is a murderer and he gets shot.
* TheCavalryArrivesLate: Amos and Marshall Delaney arrives in Greenfalls only after XIII and Jones have found a way to escape from the town. In the chalet, XIII defeats the Mongoose and Zeke kills Dwight Rigby, just as Amos is approaching.

** Zeke shoots Dwight Rigby in the back when he is about to shoot at XIII.
* CorruptHick: Dwight Rigby controls everything in Greenfalls, including the police.
* DamselInDistress: Jones is in a cell. Three yobs are going to lynch her. XIII has to save her.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Jonathan Fly still insults Dwight Rigby while he has a rope around the neck.
* DisneyDeath: The Mongoose shoots at XIII. XIII falls and seems to be dead. [[spoiler:Of course, he is not: Zeke's notebook stopped the bullet.]]
* EventTitle: The night of August 3rd is the night when Jason Fly's father died.
* {{Fanservice}}: Jones wears lingerie when she has to flee from Judith's house, so she is half-naked when she runs across the town and when she is in her cell after being arrested.
* GenreSavvy: Jones says that the crash of the police cars is more beautiful than on TV.
* GroinAttack: Jones delivers one to one of the yobs who wanted to lynch her.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: The Mongoose reveals that Number I wants to kill XIII because he saw his face, so if he recovered from amnesia, he could denounce him.
* ImpededMessenger: David Rigby passes out before he can tell Judith that he was not shot by XIII.
* TheKlan: Dwight Rigby was a Klansman. Jonathan Fly was killed by the Klan.

* MuggingTheMonster: Three yobs think they can easily capture Jones and even [[AttemptedRape rape her]]. Jones easily neutralize the three of them.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: Zeke Hattaway could not save his friend Jonathan Fly from being killed by Dwight Rigby. He even did not dare to denounce the murderer. This time, he will shoot Dwight Rigby when he is about to kill Jonathan's son Jason.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Thelma and Julian Mountrose, a couple of engineers sentenced to death for being accused of espionage, are based on the real-life Julius and Ethel Rosenberg (''Berg'' means "mount" in German).
* ParentalSubstitute: Zeke Hattaway is one for Jason Fly, as Jonathan Fly is too passionate about his work.
* PocketProtector: XIII is shot by the Mongoose, but he survives because the bullet was stopped by Zeke's notebook.
* {{Posse}}: Dwight Rigby forms one to chase XIII and Jones in the mountains.
* PreviouslyOn: ''Recap/TheJasonFlyCase'' is summed up in the beginning.
* PutDownYourGunAndStepAway: Dwight Rigby holds Zeke hostage in his chalet and demands XIII to put down his gun.
* SavedForTheSequel: The Mongoose reveals that XIII saw Number I of the conspiracy on his boat before getting amnesiac.
* StartingANewLife: Jonathan Mac Lane after serving his prison sentence started a new life under the name of Jonathan Fly in Greenfalls.
* StrangerInAFamiliarLand: In the end, XIII says explicitly that he does not want to stay in his hometown Greenfalls. This is understandable, given the fact that most inhabitants seem hostile to him.
* USMarshal: Marshal Delaney shows up in the end.
