00:01:58 Quit eyeballing me, Flavius.
00:02:00 I knew you when you was
00:02:48 Excuse me!
00:02:51 He just left.
00:02:52 You can call the company, but I's you,
00:02:55 'Less you want to take a ride.
00:02:57 - You going to Jones Street?
00:02:59 Put your stuff in there.
00:03:06 To your right. Pirate's House...
00:03:08 ...built in 1794.
00:03:11 All the ne'er-do-wells and scalawags
00:03:16 Sherman stayed
00:03:19 ...to rest up
00:03:22 He was going to burn Savannah...
00:03:24 ...but the locals drowned him
00:03:27 ...and fancy parties
00:03:29 ...to spare our fair city.
00:03:31 Forsyth Park. Ladies and gentlemen.
00:03:58 You looking for something?
00:04:02 No.
00:04:26 Mr. Kelso?
00:04:27 Are you Mr. Kelso?
00:04:29 I'm Lorene Baxter.
00:04:33 Town & Country
00:04:37 Oh, my land, where are my manners?
00:04:41 Anything cold would be great.
00:04:49 Mr. Williams restored this home.
00:04:52 One of the many he saved
00:04:57 The carriage house is reserved
00:05:00 ...and guests, such as yourself.
00:05:13 He's here.
00:05:17 Welcome, Mr. Kelsy.
00:05:19 - I'm sorry, Mr. Kelso?
00:05:22 Yes. I'm Betty Harty.
00:05:24 Sonny's been expecting you.
00:05:26 I'm here to see Jim Williams.
00:05:28 Sonny's Jim's attorney.
00:05:34 Well, hell...
00:05:36 ...come on in, coach.
00:05:38 John Kelso.
00:05:40 Welcome to the old curiosity shop.
00:05:51 You let me know.
00:05:56 - How was your trip?
00:05:59 He will be right along. We have
00:06:03 Confidentiality agreement.
00:06:07 Plus a paragraph...
00:06:08 ...outlining Jim's editorial privileges.
00:06:12 Town & Country flew me down to write
00:06:17 It's a literary postcard.
00:06:20 It's not just any party.
00:06:24 Have you asked the magazine?
00:06:25 I'd rather have your word
00:06:30 Be that as it may...
00:06:33 ...I'm not going to sign that.
00:06:35 Damn! How come?
00:06:38 It's just a little old party write-up.
00:06:40 All the more reason
00:06:43 As a professional,
00:06:50 Promise to be fair?
00:06:52 Yes, of course.
00:07:02 Jim...
00:07:05 ...this is John Kelso.
00:07:07 Hello.
00:07:09 Let's take a walk,
00:07:15 We'll go around Forsyth Park.
00:07:29 Would y'all mind?
00:07:30 Not at all, Betty.
00:07:33 Come on.
00:07:41 Did you sign Sonny's papers?
00:07:43 Actually, no.
00:07:45 Good for you. Sonny's
00:07:50 - Still walking the dog, Mr. Glover?
00:07:52 Patrick do love his morning walk.
00:08:00 Would you mind? Could I please have
00:08:04 Great.
00:08:05 Thanks.
00:08:08 All right. Smile.
00:08:12 Thanks. Dang good dog.
00:08:15 Thank you very much.
00:08:16 Thank you for asking.
00:08:19 No matter what you and I ever do
00:08:22 ...neither of us
00:08:25 He's the university mascot.
00:08:26 - "The Georgia Bulldog."
00:08:29 I know I'm going to regret asking,
00:08:34 What dog?
00:08:36 Mr. Glover was the law firm porter.
00:08:38 Mr. Bouhan said in his will that
00:08:43 ...$15 every week for walking Patrick,
00:08:46 So...
00:08:48 ...where's Patrick?
00:08:49 Patrick went on to his great rewards
00:08:54 - The dog's dead.
00:08:57 Why doesn't Mr. Glover walk Uga?
00:09:02 Well, then, who'd walk Patrick?
00:09:08 I see.
00:09:12 - There it is.
00:09:14 Built by General Hugh Mercer in 1860,
00:09:19 His great-grandson was Johnny Mercer.
00:09:21 The songwriter?
00:09:22 Savannah's own.
00:09:24 What's your favorite of his tunes?
00:09:27 My mother was always partial
00:09:30 Your mother.
00:09:32 Indeed.
00:09:33 I'd love to give you the grand tour, but
00:09:39 I thought the party was tomorrow night.
00:09:41 There are two parties.
00:09:43 Tonight is for bachelors.
00:09:47 Would you like to come?
00:09:49 I'd like to cover it.
00:09:51 I'm sorry. It's private.
00:09:54 Would you like to see my shop?
00:10:00 This house is one of the largest
00:10:04 It's right in here.
00:10:06 This is where we do all of our...
00:10:08 ...restorations.
00:10:21 This landscape, is it a Stubbs?
00:10:24 Very good.
00:10:26 My father was a dealer.
00:10:27 It's called Newmarket Heath
00:10:30 It's a recent purchase I will unveil
00:10:34 It's an odd piece.
00:10:36 The impasto is interesting.
00:10:38 Where's your black light?
00:10:49 It's an overpaint.
00:10:51 Very good, sport.
00:10:57 - You had it x-rayed yet?
00:11:00 How will you know
00:11:04 I rather enjoy not knowing.
00:12:02 Just a minute.
00:12:11 - Who is it?
00:12:12 Who?
00:12:15 I don't know a Mandy.
00:12:17 Of course not.
00:12:21 Hi. Nice to meet you.
00:12:31 You all got some ice?
00:12:35 Sure, help yourself.
00:12:37 Joe Odom's fridge is on the blink.
00:12:40 ...we don't have electricity.
00:12:44 Thirsty?
00:12:47 Me? No.
00:12:51 If you're thirsty, a drink'll cure it.
00:12:55 Prevention is better than a cure.
00:13:00 Put on some pants, John Kelso.
00:13:05 Sure, just let me get a pair.
00:13:09 This is our newest addition
00:13:12 As you see, Joe's been creative
00:13:18 I done this before
00:13:22 But there's a first time for everything.
00:13:32 There we go!
00:13:33 We got it!
00:13:35 No problem.
00:13:37 Joe Odom?
00:13:38 The one, the only.
00:13:39 Where's my libation?
00:13:41 Hold these.
00:13:44 To Savannah Electric and Power!
00:13:46 And let's not forget our friends...
00:13:49 ...the...
00:13:51 ...whoever!
00:13:53 Here's to you!
00:13:56 Honey, that's a tough job,
00:14:02 Have you met Mr. Kelso,
00:14:05 Jerry Spence.
00:14:06 - How are you?
00:14:08 - How are you?
00:14:11 - I wonder if he goes to my church?
00:14:13 Episcopalian.
00:14:14 We'll find out.
00:14:16 Sanitation
00:14:18 I see all night long
00:14:23 I'm hoping one day soon
00:14:27 In the Dumpster
00:14:30 In the Dumpster
00:14:32 In the Dumpster
00:14:35 Don 't have to ask me twice
00:14:37 It's all I'm thinking of
00:14:39 Just me and that trash girl
00:14:54 Do you like that?
00:14:55 Strong.
00:14:57 Strong and good.
00:15:00 What's in it?
00:15:01 3 parts fruit, 7 parts liquor.
00:15:03 Whatever's available on both counts.
00:15:05 Great party. Great house.
00:15:08 The fella that owns it is in Europe
00:15:12 Water the plants.
00:15:17 Squatting?
00:15:19 That's a vicious word.
00:15:21 You're not a lawyer, are you?
00:15:25 Good. They're the scum of the earth.
00:15:28 ...being an ex-barrister myself.
00:15:31 Ex?
00:15:33 Ceremoniously disbarred
00:15:36 Had a little accounting snafu.
00:15:38 What do you do now?
00:15:40 Me and Mandy,
00:15:43 You already have one.
00:15:44 Looks that way, doesn't it?
00:15:46 Wait a minute. Hold the music.
00:15:49 Look.
00:15:52 Look at this.
00:15:53 Jerry Spence.
00:15:55 You have outdone yourself again.
00:15:58 That is a coif definitely befitting
00:16:02 ...Mrs. Joe Odom.
00:16:04 Keep dreaming, darling.
00:16:07 You're in love.
00:16:11 She is one beautiful woman.
00:16:14 You two engaged?
00:16:16 Not yet.
00:16:19 It's getting late. I'm going to
00:16:22 No, wait a minute.
00:16:25 Joe's rule #2:
00:16:27 If you have to leave a party,
00:16:32 I can live with that one.
00:16:41 Hey, there.
00:16:43 Better to be on the edge of a party,
00:16:48 Thanks for inviting me.
00:16:49 Anytime.
00:16:51 Every time.
00:16:58 Earlier...
00:17:00 ...how'd you know my name?
00:17:01 Welcome to Savannah.
00:17:11 Mr. John Kelso?
00:17:14 This is for you.
00:17:23 I'm not in. Leave a message
00:17:46 - Mr. Kelso?
00:17:48 I'm Lucille Wright.
00:17:51 - Nice to meet you.
00:17:53 Would you like to see what we'll serve?
00:17:55 Of course.
00:17:56 Come in.
00:18:00 Lots of fresh vegetables...
00:18:02 ...hot bread...
00:18:04 ...jumbo shrimp.
00:18:07 Let's see.
00:18:10 Both.
00:18:11 A big fruit platter.
00:18:15 A bisque?
00:18:17 Jeff Braswell.
00:18:19 - I shoot Jim's parties.
00:18:23 Town & Country
00:18:26 And pumpkin cornbread.
00:18:29 Mr. Williams insists on
00:18:33 Oh, you're going to have fun tonight.
00:18:36 Indeed he is, Lucille.
00:18:39 Good fit. 44 long.
00:18:45 I have an eye for framing things.
00:18:49 Welcome to Mercer House, Mr. Kelso.
00:18:52 You have outdone yourself again
00:18:55 Well, thank you.
00:19:31 I'm glad to see you.
00:19:33 Merry Christmas.
00:19:34 There you are. The man with the cigar.
00:19:39 Emma.
00:19:41 Did you watch my drink for me?
00:19:44 I thought you'd tried
00:19:47 - Senator, how are you?
00:19:49 Merry Christmas to you.
00:19:53 Look at you.
00:19:57 Welcome to Mercer House.
00:20:18 I think we have
00:20:22 Look at that niece of mine.
00:20:28 - How are you?
00:20:41 Oh, darling!
00:20:45 I have one just like that at home.
00:20:48 I see our emerald bird has arrived.
00:20:51 Good to see you.
00:20:54 - How are you, dear?
00:21:01 Now who is that magnificent creature?
00:21:03 That is Serena Dawes.
00:21:05 Serena, you are
00:21:07 I try.
00:21:09 Celebrated beauty in her day.
00:21:11 When her tycoon husband died, she
00:21:15 ...sort of a museum to herself
00:21:18 I'll introduce you.
00:21:19 - You look very nice.
00:21:23 How lovely to see you out of bed.
00:21:27 Why, Jim,
00:21:35 Harry was just about to show us
00:21:41 You know what that is?
00:21:44 My late husband blew his brains out
00:21:47 - So did mine.
00:21:50 I was fixing myself a drink and Gunsmoke
00:21:54 I thought it was part of the show till
00:21:58 ...sprawled in his favorite chair.
00:22:01 Everyone knew
00:22:04 If I'd so much as touched that gun,
00:22:11 Yes, well, one day...
00:22:17 ...I will shoot a man.
00:22:27 - Is that loaded?
00:22:31 Which conversation shall we join?
00:22:32 The one least likely to involve gunfire.
00:22:35 Excuse me for a moment.
00:22:57 That's from Napoleon's
00:23:01 You have an impressive collection.
00:23:03 No, Mr. Kelso. Look around.
00:23:07 - Fabergé?
00:23:10 Minor? Three eggs...
00:23:12 ...a jewelry box and, I believe,
00:23:15 Nicholas himself would be lucky
00:23:21 Wouldn't he?
00:23:22 I admit to that.
00:23:25 Would you care
00:23:27 ...unusual?
00:23:29 That'd be very nice.
00:23:36 Hello, Mother, darling.
00:23:38 - Are you enjoying yourself?
00:23:41 John Kelso.
00:23:43 He's a writer, Mother.
00:23:53 This is what we call the ballroom.
00:24:00 Is this the prized relic?
00:24:02 It's a very rare relic.
00:24:08 This is the dagger
00:24:11 ...to murder Rasputin.
00:24:16 He sliced off
00:24:18 True story...
00:24:20 ...and deliciously evil,
00:24:23 Delicious.
00:24:28 German Luger?
00:24:29 Be careful, it's loaded.
00:24:33 Everybody's got loaded guns around here.
00:24:37 So tell me.
00:24:40 That's a very genteel way of asking
00:24:44 - Do you?
00:24:47 I was born in Gordon, Georgia,
00:24:50 My father was a barber,
00:24:53 My mother was a secretary.
00:24:54 What money I have is about 11 years old.
00:24:57 So, yes, I am...
00:25:00 ...nouveau riche.
00:25:01 But then it's the riche that counts.
00:25:05 There's only 2 things
00:25:06 ...work...
00:25:08 ...and those trappings of aristocracy
00:25:11 The very things they're forced to sell
00:25:15 And it always runs out.
00:25:17 And then all they're left with...
00:25:20 ...is their lovely manners.
00:25:22 Fuck you, goddamn bitch!
00:25:25 Wouldn't even let me in the house.
00:25:27 Had to come in the servants' entrance.
00:25:30 Excuse me for a minute?
00:25:34 We agreed you'd stay away tonight.
00:25:36 Don't give me that drag-ass shit.
00:25:38 I got stood up tonight, I'm pissed off.
00:25:43 You get paid on Friday
00:25:46 Give me $20.
00:25:47 - I need it to get fucked up, is what.
00:25:51 Give me the money.
00:25:52 I ain't even close to getting fucked up
00:25:55 I'm not going to give you money
00:25:58 ...or whatever else you've invited...
00:26:01 Fuck you, Jim!
00:26:02 You don't give me warnings! I give them
00:26:11 And you, you piece of shit!
00:26:16 You better watch yourself.
00:26:20 Fuck you.
00:26:35 That's Billy Hanson.
00:26:39 ...and can, on occasion,
00:27:06 I don't know who hates me more,
00:27:09 Lon Atwell's been upset with me since I
00:27:18 There's only one way to remedy this.
00:28:23 Thank you, Senator.
00:28:24 It was a hell of a bash, Jim.
00:28:26 - You've outdone yourself.
00:28:29 We thoroughly enjoyed it.
00:28:42 This...
00:28:44 You seem surprised.
00:28:46 It didn't exactly
00:28:56 What a coincidence,
00:28:59 ...to this story
00:29:04 There are no coincidences.
00:29:07 Have you ever written
00:29:09 No.
00:29:14 You requested me?
00:29:18 They've wanted to cover
00:29:21 My acceptance of their offer this year
00:29:26 Your participation.
00:29:31 Thank you for that.
00:29:33 No, thank you.
00:29:36 Now sit back, relax, enjoy your brandy
00:29:45 It's getting late
00:29:47 ...so maybe I can take
00:29:52 If you make the cut.
00:29:54 We'll hope for the best.
00:29:56 I can't wait to see the article,
00:30:00 ...for your 500-word essay.
00:30:02 Believe me, I could use 10,000.
00:30:04 Thanks for everything.
00:30:10 Oh, and sport...
00:30:14 ...I really did like your book.
00:30:17 Thank you.
00:30:39 That's a beautiful jacket.
00:30:42 Look at that 14-karat gold dress
00:30:46 Who's hungry?
00:30:48 Want some punch, baby?
00:30:50 Oh, that's such a good pony.
00:30:53 What are you doing,
00:30:57 What happened?
00:30:58 That Jim Williams
00:31:01 Canapé?
00:31:02 What?
00:31:03 He sure did. Those lights
00:31:07 For real?
00:31:08 Yes, sir. He shot somebody.
00:31:12 Look at that man go.
00:31:13 I'm starting to like that Yankee.
00:31:16 What's that saying?
00:31:25 He was drunker when he got back,
00:31:29 ...when he's been drinking,
00:31:34 He'd already smashed things upstairs
00:31:37 And he must've gone
00:31:40 ...with throats being slashed.
00:31:43 No doubt it had an effect,
00:31:48 He and I got into an argument.
00:31:50 He destroyed this beautiful,
00:31:55 If you'd like to...
00:31:56 ...spike that up...
00:31:58 ...the bar's in the living room.
00:31:59 No, thank you.
00:32:03 I know that.
00:32:06 I'm sorry.
00:32:08 This is very upsetting.
00:32:10 How much longer
00:32:21 What are you doing here?
00:32:23 I work for the city, too.
00:32:26 I'll get it to you.
00:32:27 Great, great.
00:32:38 He came into the office
00:32:41 ..."I might be leaving tomorrow, but
00:32:45 Then he fired at me twice and I pulled
00:32:50 If it had happened to you,
00:32:53 I have never been so scared in my life.
00:32:56 ...I have no doubt it'd be my obituary
00:33:00 - What're you doing here?
00:33:02 Jesus Christ, Frank!
00:33:05 My client has nothing to say.
00:33:09 I can't believe you would do this
00:33:12 How long have we known each other?!
00:33:14 Is this entrapment, Frank?
00:33:56 Sorry, I'm not going to have time
00:33:59 Film from the party.
00:34:12 Jim told me
00:34:15 No-good street hustler.
00:34:17 I told Jim he was dangerous.
00:34:25 Forget about Town & Country.
00:34:27 I know I've been here only 3 days and
00:34:31 This place is fantastic. It's like
00:34:35 I know you're my agent.
00:34:38 They walk imaginary pets here
00:34:41 They're all heavily armed and drunk.
00:34:43 I'll call you later.
00:34:46 Finley Largent's up for reelection,
00:34:50 He won't take my damn phone calls...
00:34:53 ...so we'll have to use the back door.
00:34:55 I'll be back.
00:34:57 Thanks for coming over, coach.
00:34:59 Jim's in the office.
00:35:06 We talked about something
00:35:09 You want me to kill the story.
00:35:11 Done.
00:35:14 Great, great.
00:35:19 Why?
00:35:21 Actually, I was...
00:35:23 ...considering...
00:35:24 ...writing a book.
00:35:26 Sweet Jesus. A book about what?
00:35:29 Self-defense happens all the time.
00:35:31 Then why are you worried about the D. A?
00:35:34 We're a small town.
00:35:36 We defend ourselves, our reputations...
00:35:38 ...against the outside world.
00:35:41 Word gets around a New Yorker's
00:35:44 ...you'll find Savannahians
00:35:47 If there's a trial, will I be a witness?
00:35:50 You threatening me?
00:35:51 Absolutely not.
00:35:53 You perjure yourself,
00:35:56 I wouldn't do it. When it comes
00:35:59 If there's nothing worth writing...
00:36:01 ...then you got no worries.
00:36:03 That's what I get paid for.
00:36:10 I don't need anyone's permission.
00:36:14 Not really.
00:36:17 Then why are you soliciting it?
00:36:23 You need my permission...
00:36:25 ...my help...
00:36:26 ...my acquiescence...
00:36:28 ...or you don't have a story.
00:36:31 Not really.
00:36:33 We both know that.
00:36:37 So would the river flow both ways?
00:36:40 Meaning?
00:36:43 Would you share whatever information
00:36:49 Yes, but it won't change what I write.
00:36:52 And you don't get to see a word of it
00:37:06 So...
00:37:08 ...who'd be the main character
00:37:17 Have you written up cases
00:37:19 A few of them for Esquire. Yeah.
00:37:22 What do you think?
00:37:23 What do I think?
00:37:25 If you're worried about the D.A.,
00:37:28 Proper spin control
00:37:31 What the hell are you talking about?
00:37:33 You said Hanson was a street hustler.
00:37:36 Take drugs?
00:37:38 That kind of spin
00:37:40 Get investigators to hit the streets.
00:37:42 Every P.I. In town's an off-duty cop.
00:37:45 Besides, why would we need a P. I...
00:37:48 ...when we got ourselves
00:37:52 ...filling all the gaps?
00:37:56 Take care, bubba.
00:38:17 - Are you the flower man?
00:38:19 Good morning, I'm a writer
00:38:22 If you're not the flower man,
00:38:24 The Lady's in mourning, and
00:38:28 ...or anything to show for it.
00:38:35 I know Billy Hanson used to live here.
00:38:39 And if it's an inappropriate time,
00:38:42 I can't believe you're running around
00:38:47 Where are your manners?
00:38:49 Just leave me be.
00:38:53 My condolences.
00:38:56 I'll come back another time, or...
00:40:22 I apologize for the delay.
00:40:26 Why, thank you. They're lovely.
00:40:31 I'd love to ask you a few questions,
00:40:34 Is this your car?
00:40:38 How about a ride home?
00:40:44 Thank you.
00:40:53 What I want to know is,
00:40:57 ...doing driving a big old brother's
00:41:01 I just bought this.
00:41:05 No, it's not bad.
00:41:08 I'm sorry.
00:41:10 I can't help it.
00:41:14 I just can't help it.
00:41:16 - One thing you needn't worry about.
00:41:19 Ain't nobody going to try
00:41:23 I'm just practicing up till I can save
00:41:27 Chablis is a pretty name.
00:41:30 Thank you. I got it off a wine bottle.
00:41:34 - You're an actress?
00:41:38 I work at the Pick-Up on Congress.
00:41:41 I lip-synch, I emcee, I dance.
00:41:45 The person you see now
00:41:49 But in the evenings...
00:41:50 ...when I put on my gowns
00:41:54 ...and my jewelry and my perfume...
00:41:57 ...I become "The Lady Chablis."
00:42:01 You are just so cute.
00:42:04 A cool white wine for a cool black girl.
00:42:06 And you're full of flattery too.
00:42:10 It's getting hot up in here, honey.
00:42:16 Excuse me?
00:42:17 Yes, honey, my shots.
00:42:20 What'd you want to talk to me about?
00:42:23 Billy Hanson.
00:42:26 No. Billy's dead.
00:42:31 Was he your boyfriend?
00:42:32 Billy, my boyfriend?
00:42:34 Were you two lovers?
00:42:36 No. Hell, no.
00:42:38 Billy was way too trashy for me, honey.
00:42:41 However, he did date
00:42:45 The two of those
00:42:53 - Those are beautiful.
00:42:57 Corinne's like a lot of girls.
00:43:00 She found herself attracted
00:43:04 Billy was not the right type of man.
00:43:08 But there was no way of changing
00:43:11 - I'd love to speak to Corinne.
00:43:14 But she skipped town
00:43:18 And Billy said he would pay for it,
00:43:23 But you know...
00:43:25 - Here you go.
00:43:28 But you know,
00:43:32 ..."Two tears in a bucket...
00:43:35 ...motherfuck it."
00:43:38 I have to remember that one.
00:43:40 Don't remember that one.
00:43:50 Let me get your door for you.
00:44:04 Thank you, hon.
00:44:11 In the phone book,
00:44:17 What's the "F" stand for?
00:44:20 The "F" stands for Frank, hon.
00:44:23 That's me.
00:44:38 - She's a he.
00:44:40 You're shitting me.
00:44:42 If this thing heats up,
00:44:45 Proper folks don't discuss such things.
00:44:47 She paints a rotten picture of Billy.
00:44:49 Let me tell you a story.
00:44:53 His oldest boy was messing around
00:44:57 One morning they found him...
00:45:00 ...lying under the porch
00:45:05 Dead men tell no tales.
00:45:08 Next day, headline read...
00:45:10 ..."Fall From Porch Proves Fatal."
00:45:13 Some fall.
00:45:16 Saving face in the light of unpleasant
00:45:21 I'll try to track down that real girl.
00:45:25 Well, I got to skedaddle.
00:45:27 Doing Christmas at Tybee Island.
00:45:30 Have a great Christmas.
00:45:31 - You too, John.
00:45:43 Merry Christmas!
00:46:27 He's got it on a string!
00:46:50 Luther's not eating!
00:47:00 Check, please.
00:47:03 You didn't like it?
00:47:04 No, they were very good.
00:47:09 What was in the vial?
00:47:12 He says it's enough poison
00:47:17 If he eats and it's a good day...
00:47:19 ...fine.
00:47:21 If he doesn't eat...
00:47:22 ...let's put it this way: If I were
00:47:27 Where does he put the poison?
00:47:29 In the water supply system.
00:47:33 Is that true?
00:47:37 I've lived here a long time, honey.
00:47:45 Where are we going?
00:47:46 Patience, dear boy.
00:47:52 It's time you meet the most important
00:47:57 We're going to the cemetery?
00:47:58 Not Bonaventure.
00:49:03 Looks like we got the garden
00:49:08 Meet Minerva.
00:49:13 How do you do?
00:49:15 You trying to work me, boy?
00:49:18 Put that hand back in your pocket.
00:49:28 I feel sorry for you.
00:49:31 Do tell, Minerva.
00:49:33 He think nobody love him.
00:49:38 That's silly.
00:49:43 You got a hole in you.
00:49:45 Too many questions.
00:49:46 Don't know whether to be this way
00:49:53 There ain't no answers.
00:50:00 You come a long way to find that out,
00:50:07 Now we got to get to work.
00:50:12 Put it on the grave.
00:50:15 Kiss it first,
00:50:20 You bring the shiny dimes?
00:50:29 Bury them.
00:50:31 He's working hard against you, James.
00:50:35 Who? Dr. Buzzard?
00:50:39 The boy. The dead boy.
00:50:41 Oh, Billy.
00:50:43 Dr. Buzzard?
00:50:47 Ain't got much dead time left.
00:50:49 Dead time?
00:50:51 Lasts an hour.
00:50:53 Half-hour before midnight
00:50:57 Half-hour before midnight
00:51:00 Half-hour after for evil.
00:51:03 We'll need a little of both tonight.
00:51:05 You got the bottle of water?
00:51:09 Ain't been through no pipe?
00:51:12 Give it to me.
00:51:18 We got to make him...
00:51:20 ...loosen up on James.
00:51:26 I need Shango...
00:51:28 ...and a little hungan.
00:51:43 Come.
00:51:46 Come!
00:51:52 Tell me something about him.
00:51:55 He tried to kill me?
00:51:56 No, before then.
00:52:00 Your kind words...
00:52:02 ...take root, flower,
00:52:06 Something that made him happy?
00:52:11 His Camaro.
00:52:13 He loved his Camaro.
00:52:16 That car was his pride and joy.
00:52:18 Keep talking. It's working.
00:52:22 He spray painted it flat black.
00:52:25 You should've seen him.
00:52:29 ...cleaning it.
00:52:30 He painted racing stripes on it...
00:52:33 ...and all kinds of other things.
00:52:35 He was very creative.
00:52:39 That's something
00:52:41 He was an artist.
00:52:44 Just now,
00:52:46 ...I felt him ease off.
00:52:49 He heard you say you love him.
00:52:54 That's preposterous.
00:52:59 He was working against you,
00:53:02 He wants you to tell the whole world
00:53:06 Maybe they think you hated him
00:53:09 If you do that, you go to jail...
00:53:11 ...and he know that.
00:53:14 Most important thing:
00:53:17 You got to beg that boy's forgiveness
00:53:27 Time for evil.
00:53:34 Quick, quick.
00:53:36 Finley Largent.
00:53:38 When you get home, write his name
00:53:43 Connect all the names into one.
00:53:46 Dot no I's, cross no T's.
00:53:48 Fold it twice and put it in your pocket.
00:53:54 Get a picture.
00:53:56 Sew up the mouth with dove's blood.
00:53:59 Blacken the eyes.
00:54:00 Now go!
00:54:06 Boy!
00:54:08 Take these words to heart.
00:54:12 To understand the living...
00:54:14 ...you got to commune with the dead.
00:54:20 Now go!
00:54:21 And don't you dare look back!
00:54:53 On the grave...
00:54:55 Who is Dr. Buzzard?
00:54:57 Minerva was married to Dr. Buzzard...
00:54:59 ...the foremost voodoo practitioner
00:55:03 You may not know it,
00:55:06 I don't believe
00:55:09 ...but the spiritual force behind it.
00:55:12 The shiny dimes were easy...
00:55:15 ...but the virgin water
00:55:18 How do you know she wouldn't know
00:55:22 Not by looking or taste...
00:55:24 ...but she would've known
00:55:32 I think...
00:55:34 ...the photo-doctoring
00:55:38 What about the pleas
00:55:42 No, I don't think that's
00:55:54 - Thank you.
00:55:57 - Hey, you.
00:55:58 - How you doing?
00:56:00 You work here?
00:56:01 What you see is what you get.
00:56:03 Nothing wrong with that.
00:56:05 Gee, thanks.
00:56:25 These are nice.
00:56:27 You want to send some flowers?
00:56:30 I think so.
00:56:32 It's kind of complicated.
00:56:34 For whom?
00:56:36 What's she like?
00:56:38 I don't know her that well.
00:56:40 Roses are a favorite.
00:56:41 A bit presumptuous.
00:56:43 How about...
00:56:45 ...poinsettias?
00:56:46 Perennials might
00:56:49 - Too long-term?
00:56:52 This is complicated.
00:56:55 How about petunias?
00:56:57 They're pretty without
00:57:01 ...and in 3 days you throw them out.
00:57:03 Sound like what you're looking for?
00:57:09 Sorry, we're all out of petunias.
00:57:21 Come on, get up, Lewis.
00:57:26 Get on up.
00:57:29 Good afternoon, Yankee John.
00:57:33 That sounds like a dead battery.
00:57:40 Woman that owns the tour company
00:57:43 ...so to speak.
00:57:45 Where we headed?
00:57:48 How about live entertainment?
00:57:51 Get on up, Lewis.
00:57:53 That's a good horse.
00:57:55 Hey. Bitch!
00:57:56 Hey, bitch!
00:57:58 Let the house say it like you mean it.
00:58:02 Hey, bitch!
00:58:04 Yes, I am a bitch,
00:58:07 Your mama is just sweating. I'm putting
00:58:11 But then again, I want you all to know
00:58:16 Excuse me, darling.
00:58:19 Excuse me.
00:58:20 Oh, my God!
00:58:22 "Oh, my God," nothing, honey.
00:58:25 Y'all been necking
00:58:29 Look, our lvory Soap-using girl.
00:58:33 Either he got some good old stuff,
00:58:40 Is this your boyfriend?
00:58:42 My husband.
00:58:44 What does Mr. Man do for a living?
00:58:46 He's a doctor.
00:58:48 A doctor?
00:58:49 You better grow you some nails, because
00:58:54 I am serious, honey.
00:58:57 He is mine. A doctor. Grow your nails,
00:59:04 Look at him just blushing.
00:59:07 You want to give me a physical?
00:59:11 I have nothing to hide.
00:59:17 You better have American Express, baby.
00:59:20 But you know what?
00:59:22 Because the Doll has already got
00:59:25 ...running after her good old stuff.
00:59:27 Spotlight, shine a spotlight over there.
00:59:31 You see that fine white man right there?
00:59:34 He has been running the Doll
00:59:39 First day I met him,
00:59:42 Then again, as you well know...
00:59:44 ...ain't nothing too good for the Doll.
00:59:46 Ain't nothing too good for the Lady.
00:59:50 If I catch any of you bitches
00:59:54 ...I want you to know you'll have
00:59:58 ...the Doll, the Grand Empress,
01:00:02 So keep your hands off of that one.
01:00:06 Hey, honey love.
01:00:08 How are you, Doll?
01:00:09 I'm fine.
01:00:12 Joe Odom.
01:00:14 Pleased to meet you.
01:00:15 My pleasure. We met before.
01:00:18 Narrow it down for the Doll. There are
01:00:23 That's another tale for another time.
01:00:26 My ice cubes are getting a bit dry.
01:00:30 Thank you. I'll talk to you later,
01:00:34 Hurry back.
01:00:36 Don't let him hurry back.
01:00:39 How are you?
01:00:40 I'm fine, honey. Still hiding my candy.
01:00:44 - You don't have to.
01:00:46 Not yet.
01:00:48 - It's a small little wrapper.
01:00:49 Like a Tootsie Roll.
01:00:51 Some people don't need to see candy.
01:00:54 Okay, that's fine.
01:00:57 I got something to tell you.
01:01:02 Really?
01:01:03 A tall, blond hunk of a hunk of man.
01:01:07 He's a mechanic on Abercorn Street.
01:01:10 - I know where that is.
01:01:13 No pun intended.
01:01:17 You must promise if you
01:01:20 ...if you should meet him,
01:01:24 - He has no idea.
01:01:25 You know, my "T," my truth.
01:01:27 The hide-my-candy thing.
01:01:29 He doesn't know,
01:01:34 - Promise me you won't.
01:01:37 When I'm ready for him to find out,
01:01:39 Like when I was ready for you
01:01:41 But I wasn't looking for your candy.
01:01:43 But you was smelling for it.
01:01:45 - I did not smell your candy.
01:01:48 I want to interview you.
01:01:50 Your show was terrific.
01:01:51 Thank you.
01:01:53 Yes, very much so.
01:02:11 What happened?
01:02:12 9 jurors indicted murder one.
01:02:14 They're trying to put our friend away
01:02:22 Your Honor...
01:02:24 ...the community that put us both
01:02:27 ...would be less than pleased with
01:02:31 ...in a first-degree murder case bail.
01:02:34 And they'd be right.
01:02:39 All right, gentlemen.
01:02:41 I have listened carefully
01:02:44 Mr. Williams is charged
01:02:49 ...and Mr. Seiler, I can't grant bail
01:02:53 But I will put this case
01:02:56 ...for a speedy trial.
01:02:58 That's all.
01:03:12 Well, sport, looks like there might be
01:03:22 Does he have any idea
01:03:26 You know it and I know it...
01:03:29 ...and after tonight,
01:03:43 What is it?
01:03:44 You told Sonny I heard Billy
01:03:48 I heard you threaten him too.
01:03:51 I didn't threaten him.
01:03:52 I warned him.
01:03:54 He had a history of violence.
01:03:57 While trespassing,
01:04:00 ...and brandished
01:04:03 Is that not your recollection as well?
01:04:05 - More or less.
01:04:11 What was it between the two of you?
01:04:17 We'll turn this off.
01:04:19 I don't mind that.
01:04:27 Was it just sex?
01:04:29 Tell me about the relationship.
01:04:36 Billy and I had a bond.
01:04:39 That's not something
01:04:43 They'll just see the sex...
01:04:45 ...and the age difference.
01:04:48 But Billy was going to make something
01:04:53 Great things, great people...
01:04:56 ...can come from humble beginnings.
01:04:59 He needed what I gave him...
01:05:03 ...and I needed what he gave me.
01:05:08 Now, do you wish
01:05:11 No.
01:05:15 I'm innocent, John.
01:05:17 It's important that you believe that.
01:05:20 Do you believe that?
01:05:24 Yes, I do.
01:05:30 I'm having trouble
01:05:34 I'll make some arrangements.
01:05:36 Tomorrow, can you bring the Sotheby's
01:05:40 They serve dinner here at 7,
01:05:45 Our calls?
01:05:55 Yes, accept the charges, operator.
01:05:59 Jim. How are you?
01:06:02 All right, sport,
01:06:06 Let's see if we can work this.
01:06:23 All right, it's ringing.
01:06:27 Hello, Jim Williams calling
01:06:32 Thank you.
01:06:34 Thank you.
01:06:39 Geza.
01:06:40 James! How nice of you to call.
01:06:43 Would you be interested
01:06:49 Someone, ask him to be quiet.
01:06:54 It sounds like your dog
01:07:00 That's a Russian wolfhound.
01:07:04 Sounds more like a Shar-Pei.
01:07:06 No, no, that's my Yorkie.
01:07:16 Would someone please
01:07:19 I'll take care of the dog for you.
01:07:23 Now, Geza,
01:07:27 As always.
01:07:31 Shut up!
01:08:14 Is this the Married Women's Card Club?
01:08:17 Yes.
01:08:21 Is anyone going to ring the doorbell?
01:08:23 Oh, heavens, no!
01:08:25 We have very strict rules.
01:08:33 You all look lovely.
01:08:35 Actually, Jim...
01:08:36 ...suggested
01:08:39 But if we could just keep that
01:08:43 - Why?
01:08:46 Everything all right, ladies?
01:08:48 Good.
01:08:51 Jim was a true friend to me
01:08:53 But most of these ladies
01:08:56 ...how they'll respond
01:08:59 You know...
01:09:01 ...the incident.
01:09:02 I have work to do in the kitchen.
01:09:06 - I don't play bridge.
01:09:09 Men aren't allowed.
01:09:11 Especially single men.
01:09:13 But you could sit down and wait.
01:09:25 It was a crime passionnel.
01:09:28 That may be, but I gather
01:09:32 Really?
01:09:33 There's no gunpowder on that boy's hand.
01:09:37 ...as Jim claims.
01:09:41 And the location
01:09:44 Seems to be at odds with
01:09:47 How so?
01:09:48 One entered the chest. The second
01:09:52 And the third, well,
01:09:55 What do you think'll happen to Jim?
01:09:58 It's difficult to say.
01:10:01 Those who are happy Billy is no longer
01:10:05 ...are the exact people who think...
01:10:08 ...that Jim picked a very unseemly way
01:10:13 ...if you will.
01:10:15 With a bang.
01:10:17 Literally.
01:10:20 And then...
01:10:21 ...there are the others.
01:10:23 Tell me about the others.
01:10:25 There's bound to be a certain
01:10:29 That boy in particular, I mean.
01:10:33 Why?
01:10:34 Billy was a very accomplished hustler.
01:10:38 By all accounts,
01:10:41 ...and very much appreciated
01:10:46 The trouble is...
01:10:48 ...he hadn't finished
01:10:51 Billy Hanson was known to be...
01:10:54 ...a good time...
01:10:56 ...but...
01:10:57 ...a good time not yet had by all.
01:11:01 They're saying Jim Williams killed
01:11:05 - Is that true?
01:11:06 You know about ass in Savannah.
01:11:09 Great God!
01:11:11 Good gossip's hard currency in this
01:11:15 When the chips are down,
01:11:20 - Rather hear your legal strategies.
01:11:23 We had a deal.
01:11:26 Come along in.
01:11:28 Now, don't mind us.
01:11:34 Trial date.
01:11:36 Big game 3 weeks from now.
01:11:38 It's a shootout.
01:11:39 Both teams got one silver bullet.
01:11:42 Gunshot residue test, that's theirs.
01:11:45 No gunshot residue on Billy's hands
00:00:03 Means Jim killed him in cold blood...
00:00:07 ...mocked up the scene.
00:00:09 How you plan to counter that?
00:00:11 Gunshot residue test is unreliable.
00:00:15 Finley's got Doc Poe. We will counter
00:00:19 ...with an expert we got from up north.
00:00:23 They say the scene was contrived.
00:00:27 That's our silver bullet.
00:00:29 Shoddy police work.
00:00:31 Take a look at this.
00:00:39 That's me!
00:00:41 Just like you said.
00:00:42 Ground zero.
00:00:46 I kind of let myself in
00:00:50 They shouldn't have let you get in.
00:00:54 Happy together
00:00:57 Unhappy together
00:01:00 And won 't it be fine
00:01:07 Days may be cloudy or sunny
00:01:13 We're in or we're out of the money
00:01:21 But I'm with you always
00:01:25 Come rain or
00:01:29 Shine
00:01:41 Joe Odom.
00:01:46 You're good.
00:01:49 - You never asked.
00:01:50 Good, how are you?
00:01:52 - You got another set?
00:01:56 Want to get a cup of coffee?
00:01:57 Business or pleasure?
00:01:59 Come on.
00:02:03 Normally, there'd be no problem.
00:02:08 Problem is, they're usually straight.
00:02:10 See, so it's a volatile issue.
00:02:12 - I'm not crazy?
00:02:15 Jim's friends knew he was gay.
00:02:17 Secretly, they congratulated themselves
00:02:21 If they knew he was completely open with
00:02:26 Maybe the jury will too.
00:02:28 You think?
00:02:31 Of course, no one'll ever really know
00:02:34 But Jim's told the story
00:02:37 You're quite the advocate.
00:02:39 What happened to
00:02:43 Objectively, it's looking like
00:02:47 Something that would never happen
00:02:51 Well, you said it, not me.
00:02:55 You don't seem like you're from here.
00:02:57 I was born here, didn't like it...
00:03:00 ...moved away.
00:03:01 Figured out the part
00:03:03 So I worked on that,
00:03:08 I got my first kiss right here.
00:03:10 Sammy Jenks.
00:03:13 You did? How hard?
00:03:17 That's what love'll do.
00:03:19 I have trouble picturing what kind of
00:03:27 First love situation.
00:03:29 We got married a week after graduating
00:03:34 So what happened?
00:03:35 You want to hear my sob story?
00:03:37 I think she thought
00:03:41 She thought I'd be famous.
00:03:43 After the book was published, she'd wake
00:03:48 ...make coffee, cross her fingers...
00:03:50 ...and look in that Sunday Times.
00:03:54 One Sunday, she didn't wake up early,
00:03:58 ...didn't cross her fingers...
00:04:01 ...and I knew.
00:04:03 She left you
00:04:07 I don't know, Kelso.
00:04:12 What about you and Joe Odom?
00:04:15 Me and Joe.
00:04:17 We're just friends.
00:04:19 We have a real musical relationship.
00:04:22 We're like the Steve and Eydie
00:04:30 My God, it's quiet.
00:04:33 Too quiet.
00:04:34 Joe'll be playing at that bar
00:04:41 I should probably go.
00:04:49 In case you're wondering,
00:04:55 Sammy Jenks warned me about you.
00:05:16 Good night.
00:05:25 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:05:28 It's expected to last several days.
00:05:30 I'll let you go home for the evening...
00:05:32 ...instruct you to be back
00:05:37 If anybody tries to approach you
00:05:40 ...report it to me
00:05:43 You're excused for the evening.
00:05:47 Mr. Driggers, let me speak to you.
00:05:56 Luther, listen.
00:05:58 This is a courtroom. Don't bring
00:06:01 And leave that vial of water,
00:06:06 Sam...
00:06:08 ...you know, when we were in Georgia,
00:06:12 ...and you know how I love them.
00:06:15 We're no longer at the university.
00:06:17 I'm telling you to leave
00:06:22 I do take umbrage.
00:06:24 But I'll do it.
00:06:27 What is the story with the guy
00:06:30 Luther Driggers.
00:06:31 He's a genius.
00:06:33 Developed the "No-Bug" strip.
00:06:35 The company he worked for
00:06:38 Now he just wanders around town
00:06:41 Of course.
00:06:42 Says someday he's going to put it
00:06:46 Why do you want him on the jury?
00:06:48 We're the defense team.
00:06:52 What about Largent?
00:06:53 Finley's up for reelection.
00:06:56 If he strikes Luther...
00:06:57 ...he might upset him enough to...
00:07:00 ...you know...
00:07:03 I'll be back in on Sunday.
00:07:05 You've got a murder trial
00:07:11 Home opener against 'Bama.
00:07:15 Go, Dogs!
00:07:19 Is he really leaving?
00:07:20 Oh, yeah.
00:07:24 All right, Mr. Largent...
00:07:26 ...the state has the burden of proof,
00:07:32 Your Honor.
00:07:37 Good morning, Your Honor,
00:07:41 The state of Georgia is ready
00:07:54 If the court pleases.
00:08:08 The philosopher Thomas Hobbes
00:08:10 ...that life is...
00:08:12 ...nasty, brutish...
00:08:14 ...and short.
00:08:17 And surely it must have seemed so
00:08:21 ...as he lay wounded...
00:08:23 ...his blood and his life...
00:08:26 ...oozing out
00:08:31 It's important for you to know
00:08:37 By the end of this trial...
00:08:39 ...I believe...
00:08:41 ...that when faced with the evidence...
00:08:44 ...you will render...
00:08:45 ...the verdict that is fair and just:
00:08:51 Guilty of first-degree murder.
00:08:58 Thank you.
00:09:08 All right, Mr. Seiler,
00:09:13 Would you prefer to make
00:09:19 I would prefer to address
00:09:25 What I have to say won't take long.
00:09:31 I apologize if I look tired...
00:09:35 ...if my eyes are red...
00:09:37 ...if my complexion is sallow.
00:09:40 But I came by it honestly.
00:09:43 Because...
00:09:45 ...I have not had much sleep lately.
00:09:47 For while my bed is soft...
00:09:51 ...my client's is not.
00:09:53 And while I'm surrounded
00:09:58 ...Jim Williams...
00:10:00 ...my friend...
00:10:02 ...my client...
00:10:04 ...is locked up in a room...
00:10:06 ...full of thieves,
00:10:13 You're the ones I want.
00:10:15 You're the ones I trust.
00:10:18 Because although it is Jim Williams
00:10:23 ...when I look at the circumstances...
00:10:26 ...I think to myself...
00:10:28 ...there...
00:10:29 ...but for the grace of God,
00:10:32 ...or I.
00:10:34 You know why?
00:10:37 Someone comes into my home
00:10:40 And I'll shoot back again and again...
00:10:42 ...and again,
00:10:45 Until I'm sure that my home
00:10:54 And then...
00:10:56 ...old Finley here, my friend...
00:10:58 ...would be prosecuting me.
00:11:01 I'd be the one on trial.
00:11:03 And my life...
00:11:05 ...would be in the hands...
00:11:07 ...of good folks like you.
00:11:09 He is way out-of-bounds.
00:11:12 He didn't object once during ours.
00:11:16 Folks not swayed by fancy words.
00:11:18 Folks who would not be prejudiced...
00:11:22 ...who would not judge a man...
00:11:24 ...by the color of his skin...
00:11:27 ...or the amount of money that he makes.
00:11:29 I will say...
00:11:31 ...the simple fact of the matter...
00:11:33 ...is...
00:11:35 ...Jim Williams...
00:11:38 ...murdered no one.
00:11:44 How did you think it went?
00:11:47 Sonny has a certain style,
00:11:50 From what I've seen...
00:11:51 ...that man could weave horseshit
00:11:55 Pleasantly surprised.
00:11:58 John Kelso,
00:12:00 Might I consider you my friend?
00:12:04 Yes.
00:12:09 The lack of gunshot residue in the hand,
00:12:13 ...led me to the conclusion
00:12:18 Thank you, Detective Boone.
00:12:20 No further questions.
00:12:24 Detective...
00:12:27 ...I'd like to revisit
00:12:30 ...you said just then in direct.
00:12:36 You testified there was blood
00:12:40 Yes. There was blood in the palm
00:12:44 And that's important because if Hanson
00:12:47 ...there'd be no blood.
00:12:51 But you never saw the blood
00:12:55 No.
00:12:57 The blood was noted
00:12:59 I didn't turn them over
00:13:02 I believe you also testified that...
00:13:05 ...you believe the final shot was fired
00:13:10 I concluded that the shot came
00:13:15 ...execution style.
00:13:19 A coup de grâce.
00:13:21 A coup de grâce?
00:13:29 Will you tell the jury, please...
00:13:33 ...did you find Jim's prints
00:13:40 The Luger handle has a textured surface.
00:13:45 Is the answer no, Detective?
00:13:48 Yes, the answer was no.
00:13:51 Yes, the answer is no.
00:13:54 State's 22, Your Honor.
00:14:00 Who's this handsome fellow?
00:14:02 That's me.
00:14:06 Who's this?
00:14:09 That's that reporter fella
00:14:12 The one that's working with Williams.
00:14:15 I don't know how he got in.
00:14:17 And this?
00:14:19 Young officer...
00:14:21 ...name escapes me.
00:14:22 Understandable. You'd need a program
00:14:27 Objection!
00:14:29 Counsel's testifying.
00:14:31 Strike that.
00:14:33 I would much rather have
00:14:36 How many people was in that room?
00:14:39 Seven.
00:14:41 No, eight.
00:14:43 "Seven, no, eight."
00:14:49 Read the funny papers, Detective?
00:14:51 Not often.
00:14:53 In the funny papers they sometimes
00:14:56 ...to find an animal
00:14:59 I love to play it with my grandson.
00:15:03 We're going to play "Where's Shelton?"
00:15:06 I don't know what Mr. Seiler's trying
00:15:11 Mr. Finley, we can all play.
00:15:15 ...is the defendant's tabby cat.
00:15:18 Now, Detective...
00:15:21 ...let's play "Where's Shelton?"
00:15:25 I'll give you a clue.
00:15:28 Take a look at the rug.
00:15:35 Is the answer "yes"?
00:15:39 State's 22, Your Honor.
00:15:43 Tabby cat.
00:15:44 Is Shelton Williams on your payroll?
00:15:51 I've heard tell of cat burglars.
00:15:53 Is this a cat detective?
00:15:56 Don't be ridiculous.
00:15:58 I'll tell you what's ridiculous.
00:16:00 You saying that
00:16:03 That's what's ridiculous.
00:16:06 Seven, no, eight people, and a pussycat,
00:16:12 You call that secure?
00:16:24 We hung around a lot.
00:16:26 Billy had a car
00:16:31 Mr. Tucker, do you,
00:16:34 ...know anything of the relationship
00:16:38 ...Jim Williams?
00:16:40 Objection.
00:16:41 Objection, Your Honor.
00:16:46 Let me see you gentlemen
00:16:54 What's this about?
00:16:57 Your Honor, if this boy says
00:17:00 ...you can't ask the jury to ignore it.
00:17:02 You can't let a skunk go in the box
00:17:06 Our intention with Mr. Tucker is to show
00:17:11 To do that, he has to describe
00:17:15 Your intention
00:17:18 ...then rely on some prejudice
00:17:21 Besides which, whatever he says
00:17:24 It would be hearsay.
00:17:27 He asked the witness
00:17:30 If he knows, it's not hearsay.
00:17:33 I'll allow it...
00:17:34 ...but I'll grant you the same latitude
00:17:37 Objection's overruled.
00:17:47 Mr. Tucker, the question was,
00:17:51 ...know anything of the relationship
00:17:56 Yes, sir.
00:17:58 Jim would give Billy money
00:18:01 He bought him a car and clothes
00:18:06 To sleep with him?
00:18:09 ...have sex with him?
00:18:11 Yes, sir.
00:18:16 Now, did Billy and Jim Williams...
00:18:19 ...have any disagreements...
00:18:20 ...if you know?
00:18:22 All the time.
00:18:24 Jim would be pissed off at Billy...
00:18:27 ...for one thing or another.
00:18:30 He was real jealous of Billy.
00:18:33 And what feelings, if any...
00:18:36 ...did Billy have about the defendant?
00:18:41 Jim is a rich and powerful man.
00:18:44 Billy was a little afraid of him,
00:18:51 Thank you.
00:19:09 Minerva.
00:19:14 Tell me...
00:19:16 ...how well did you know Billy Hanson?
00:19:19 What kind of friends were you?
00:19:22 Yes, sir.
00:19:23 He was my best friend in the world.
00:19:26 We saw each other all the time.
00:19:29 There's nothing he wouldn't do for me.
00:19:31 And nothing you wouldn't do for him.
00:19:34 If you're trying to say I'm lying,
00:19:37 Take it easy, young man.
00:19:39 Everything I say is true.
00:19:41 Of course. There's no reason for it
00:19:47 How well did you know Jim Williams?
00:19:53 Not shaking hands or nothing.
00:19:55 But I stood next to him in the emergency
00:20:00 Billy Hanson...
00:20:01 ...overdosed on drugs?
00:20:05 When?
00:20:09 About a month before Jim killed him.
00:20:14 So Jim Williams...
00:20:16 ...took Billy Hanson to the hospital.
00:20:19 If he wanted him dead...
00:20:21 ...why would he do that?
00:20:23 I don't know.
00:20:26 I guess...
00:20:28 Did you...
00:20:30 ...ever have sex with Billy?
00:20:33 No. No, sir.
00:20:39 Are you yourself a homosexual?
00:20:43 Objection.
00:20:46 Relevance?
00:20:48 Mr. Largent, you opened that door.
00:20:50 What's good for the goose
00:20:53 I'll let it in.
00:20:56 Thank you, Your Honor.
00:21:00 Want me to repeat the question, George?
00:21:02 I could have the court reporter
00:21:05 No, sir. I ain't no fairy.
00:21:15 I've had some experiences, but...
00:21:18 ...I'm out of it now.
00:21:21 Out of it?
00:21:22 Yes, sir.
00:21:24 Would you care to explain to the jury
00:21:29 It's wrong.
00:21:30 The Bible says so.
00:21:33 Bible also says
00:21:38 How long have you been out of it?
00:21:44 Almost 3 weeks.
00:21:49 Congratulations, George.
00:21:53 Good for you.
00:21:59 No further questions, Your Honor.
00:22:10 - Please.
00:22:12 They'll hold you in contempt.
00:22:14 I don't care if it's an invitation
00:22:19 - You got that off TV.
00:22:21 They'll hold you in contempt.
00:22:23 I've been held in contempt before.
00:22:25 A man's life is at stake.
00:22:27 What do I have to do
00:22:31 Absolutely nothing.
00:22:32 Wait. I'll tell you what.
00:22:35 What kind of deal?
00:22:39 What kind of deal?
00:22:41 Wait, John, be patient.
00:22:44 I'll tell you what.
00:22:46 You bring me a truckload of
00:22:50 ...and I'll think about it.
00:22:52 I'd love to, but I can't.
00:22:55 How boring.
00:22:58 The Alpha Phi.
00:23:00 The black people's ball?
00:23:02 You're going to the black people's ball?
00:23:08 - Absolutely not.
00:23:10 I'll be on my best behavior.
00:23:12 I promise, John.
00:23:15 - I can't.
00:23:17 I won't do anything.
00:23:18 These girls are debutantes.
00:23:20 What does that mean? I can't clientele
00:23:24 No, but, you know,
00:23:29 Please. And?
00:23:32 For the most part...
00:23:35 ...not many of them hide their candy...
00:23:37 ...and few have been caught shoplifting.
00:23:40 You know, not many.
00:23:43 These bitches must do it damn good,
00:23:47 I imagine they do
00:23:50 Stay out of bars, go to churches.
00:23:53 First of all,
00:23:57 And are these black girls
00:24:01 If these are black girls,
00:24:05 Take me.
00:24:06 - Please?
00:24:08 Take me.
00:24:09 - Cut it out.
00:24:42 It's good to have you here.
00:24:45 You know, this is our 40th year.
00:24:47 It's lovely.
00:24:54 I do believe
00:25:00 Congratulations.
00:25:46 Good evening.
00:25:49 Sir, is this spot taken?
00:25:51 - No, ma'am.
00:25:53 My name's Chablis.
00:25:55 Phillip. I'm an escort.
00:25:58 An escort.
00:25:59 Do you work for a service?
00:26:02 No, I'm escorting my sister.
00:26:03 Don't tell me you're doing it with her.
00:26:07 My sister's boyfriend decided
00:26:12 Let me ask you something.
00:26:15 You ever been arrested?
00:26:17 Oh, come on.
00:26:19 Once, sort of.
00:26:20 I had a few drinks.
00:26:24 Disturbing the peace.
00:26:27 I got a piece you can disturb, hon.
00:26:32 I've been admiring your gown.
00:26:34 Thank you very much.
00:26:37 It's very glamorous.
00:26:39 Thank you very much.
00:26:41 Of whom are you a guest?
00:26:43 I'm here with my cousin.
00:26:49 My cousin...
00:26:51 ...LaVella.
00:26:53 LaVella.
00:26:55 She's a lovely girl.
00:26:57 Oh, I think so too.
00:27:00 ...since we were kids.
00:27:04 She had nothing to worry about.
00:27:07 You know what, hon?
00:27:10 If Vanessa Williams can pull one off
00:27:14 ...then her little whoring around
00:27:17 ...was not going to mean anything to
00:27:22 And she got it.
00:27:26 Would you watch my purse?
00:27:29 Phillip and I are going to go
00:27:32 What do you think?
00:27:33 Let's go disturb some peace.
00:28:34 Oh, Jesus!
00:28:41 Would you excuse me for one moment?
00:29:05 You have a lot of nerve busting in
00:29:08 I got plenty of nerve
00:29:11 - How far are you going to take this?
00:29:13 Then I'm going to leave.
00:29:15 I don't intend on insulting these people
00:29:22 Behave yourself.
00:29:35 Come on. Let's go.
00:29:43 Stop pushing me. I'm going.
00:29:52 Bartender, could I please have
00:29:54 I think you better make those doubles.
00:29:58 So, John, tell me,
00:30:00 Are you mad?
00:30:02 Are you?
00:30:03 - We're still friends.
00:30:06 You are so sexy when you're mad.
00:30:09 - Behave yourself.
00:30:11 I want to propose a toast.
00:30:14 From my top...
00:30:16 ...to your bottom...
00:30:18 ...from your bottom to my top...
00:30:21 ...from my middle to your middle...
00:30:25 ...be good, John,
00:30:27 - Just behave yourself.
00:30:30 Besides,
00:30:36 Since when?
00:30:38 Since I thought about it.
00:30:39 And I realized how nice
00:30:42 You know what?
00:30:44 You've treated me like a perfect lady.
00:30:46 You've even made me feel
00:30:49 You know,
00:30:52 But not you.
00:30:55 I want to ask you something.
00:30:57 John, do you think I'm beautiful?
00:31:02 Yes, I think you're very pretty.
00:31:05 Pretty? I'm just not your type?
00:31:09 Are you testifying for me?
00:31:11 Of course I am. You think I give a shit
00:31:14 I don't even know that bitch.
00:31:17 Listen...
00:31:18 ...on cross-examination they'll be
00:31:23 I have nothing to hide and I'm
00:31:27 You should know that you taking the
00:31:32 Let me get this right, now.
00:31:34 You're saying because Billy hung out
00:31:39 - It's fucked up, but, yeah.
00:31:43 Maybe you shouldn't testify.
00:31:46 John, how sweet. You really care.
00:31:49 Good. Because, guess what?
00:31:52 I am testifying.
00:31:54 You see, those folks think
00:31:57 ...but the Doll's using them right back.
00:32:00 I'm going to use that courtroom
00:32:05 You see, you know who I am.
00:32:06 I'm the Lady Chablis.
00:32:09 Hear me roar.
00:32:10 Look out!
00:32:13 Besides,
00:32:15 - Really? Is it nice?
00:32:18 Listen to me.
00:32:20 We must get out of here.
00:32:22 It's rude of you to bust in on me.
00:32:25 LaVella's mother
00:32:27 Somebody put a spoon in her mouth, then,
00:32:30 You're leaving now.
00:32:32 - I am not.
00:32:34 - Buy me a drink.
00:32:35 - Buy me a diamond.
00:32:37 - Give me some.
00:32:39 Oh, come on!
00:32:41 You know I'm straight.
00:32:43 So am I.
00:32:44 Straight to my house. Let's go.
00:32:52 Raise your right hand.
00:32:54 Do you swear the evidence you're about
00:32:58 I do.
00:33:01 Now, Miss De Veau...
00:33:03 ...I'll ask you a question and
00:33:07 ...so that they can understand.
00:33:12 Yes, and what is that?
00:33:15 Your "T"?
00:33:19 My "T."
00:33:21 Yeah, explain your "T"...
00:33:23 ...in as plain a language
00:33:27 I will try my best to explain
00:33:30 I could throw words and labels
00:33:34 ...but you seem like nice people.
00:33:36 So I'm going to be open and honest.
00:33:39 I have a man's toolbox...
00:33:43 ...but everything else about me
00:33:47 I love to dress in women's clothes.
00:33:49 I love to go shopping.
00:33:51 I love to have my nails done...
00:33:53 ...and I love men.
00:33:59 Any questions?
00:34:03 And, ma'am,
00:34:06 ...blue is definitely not your color.
00:34:09 Okay, gals, you're both pretty, now.
00:34:12 What I want to know
00:34:15 ...how you and Billy Hanson first met.
00:34:19 Billy hit on me one night at the...
00:34:22 Billy and I clienteled.
00:34:24 "Clienteled."
00:34:25 Will you explain what that means?
00:34:27 We socialized together for a little
00:34:32 Corinne.
00:34:35 ...Corinne and Billy Hanson
00:34:40 Hot and intimate.
00:34:44 Will you tell the jury...
00:34:46 ...did Billy Hanson use drugs?
00:34:52 Yes. Billy did pills, smoked pot...
00:34:56 ...little coke.
00:34:57 He sold drugs.
00:35:00 He'd stay with us sometimes, so
00:35:07 - Mrs. Chablis...
00:35:09 Course, Miss Chablis.
00:35:12 Do you yourself take drugs?
00:35:16 I smoke a little pot.
00:35:18 I'm a mellow kind of girl.
00:35:21 I understand.
00:35:22 Well, tell me
00:35:26 ...these drugs
00:35:29 ...between your friend Corinne
00:35:32 Well, now, when Billy got high,
00:35:37 Hostile, when he was high.
00:35:38 Would you explain to the jury
00:35:41 I can do more than that, hon.
00:35:45 Look at my driver's license.
00:35:47 - Just a minute.
00:35:50 This isn't proper.
00:35:51 Be quiet.
00:35:52 I'll handle this.
00:35:54 Just a minute.
00:35:55 That's not proper procedure.
00:35:58 Pick up this item, please.
00:36:01 My eye. He hit me. I looked like
00:36:05 Members of the jury, I'm instructing you
00:36:09 Pay no attention to that picture.
00:36:12 Your Honor? It's the truth.
00:36:15 Your Honor, the people...
00:36:17 Be quiet.
00:36:18 Now we got to get this thing
00:36:21 You sit down, Mr. De Veau.
00:36:23 Miss De Veau. I'm a single girl.
00:36:26 Miss De Veau, whatever.
00:36:27 Have a seat.
00:36:29 Okay, but please don't get too huffy.
00:36:32 You listen to me.
00:36:35 I'm in charge of this courtroom,
00:36:38 Here's the way it works:
00:36:39 These lawyers
00:36:42 ...and you answer them.
00:36:44 If I tell you to stop, you stop.
00:36:47 If I tell you to sit, you sit.
00:36:49 And I don't want you to communicate
00:36:53 Don't produce any more items.
00:36:55 Don't show any photographs.
00:36:59 Yes, Your Honor.
00:37:06 Mrs. Wright threw in some gumbo.
00:37:10 I got you cigarettes.
00:37:12 Thank you. How are we coming
00:37:17 I thought we would limit it to 3 because
00:37:22 Why not?
00:37:24 Tell him how many friends
00:37:26 I suggest Wanda Javitz.
00:37:30 She declined, Jim...
00:37:32 ...along with some others.
00:37:35 Declined?
00:37:41 They clamored for my friendship.
00:37:43 Hoping and praying
00:37:47 Where were their judgments then?
00:37:51 I hope Wanda knows this puts her
00:37:56 I don't think we have to worry
00:37:59 They got theirs, we got ours.
00:38:01 When do I take the stand?
00:38:03 Last.
00:38:05 Good.
00:38:06 They'll have heard all the theories.
00:38:10 I look forward to this.
00:38:11 It's important, not that I'm acquitted,
00:38:17 I refuse to live in a world
00:38:20 Guilty men murmur.
00:38:23 Hear, hear.
00:38:26 We may need you to come clean
00:38:32 Your sexuality, Jim.
00:38:34 Finley's taken this thing in a direction
00:38:38 His own private witch-hunt.
00:38:42 It's going to destroy Mother.
00:38:46 Jim, she was in court.
00:38:47 She heard George Tucker.
00:38:49 Face it, she already knows.
00:38:52 Not from me she doesn't.
00:39:01 What if she wasn't in court?
00:39:13 What's the matter?
00:39:18 Damn gunshot residue test.
00:39:20 Your expert witness covered it.
00:39:24 Jury thinks that's a cop-out.
00:39:26 Every one of them knows Doc Poe.
00:39:30 Why listen to some egghead
00:39:33 No, none taken.
00:39:35 He said gunpowder wipes off.
00:39:39 Boone says he bagged them.
00:39:41 Doc Poe says they were bagged
00:39:46 When are they going to get wiped off?
00:39:49 I don't know.
00:39:54 Do you remember when you told me
00:40:00 See, I think...
00:40:01 ...that may be true,
00:40:06 I mean, look around.
00:40:09 Every picture on every wall in this town
00:40:12 Every story you hear begins
00:40:16 The only living national treasure
00:40:21 You writing your book?
00:40:25 Billy Hanson may not be talking,
00:40:29 Billy Hanson's hands?
00:40:34 I got to go.
00:40:37 Where you going?
00:40:42 "To understand the living...
00:40:44 ...you got to commune with the dead.
00:40:47 I need Shango.
00:40:51 Now go.
00:40:53 And don't you dare look back."
00:40:56 I hope you can communicate
00:41:05 Feel like going for a walk?
00:41:09 Where you headed?
00:41:11 I don't know, I was thinking about
00:41:15 Are you a necrophiliac or something?
00:41:17 We agreed you wouldn't talk
00:41:19 - How long you been at the bar?
00:41:23 Why do you want to go?
00:41:24 If I could answer that question,
00:41:27 The morgue's closed, and by tomorrow
00:41:31 Precisely. I'll break in if I have to.
00:41:37 - You sure you want to do this?
00:41:40 There is a back way...
00:41:43 ...a hallway off the emergency room.
00:41:46 - How do you know that?
00:41:48 At the morgue?
00:41:50 - We'll create a distraction...
00:41:52 You create the distraction
00:41:58 No, you'll get lost.
00:42:00 All right, it's a 3-man job.
00:42:03 Perfect casting, but he's out of town
00:42:08 Who do we know
00:42:18 Hello! Nurse!
00:42:23 - What's wrong with her?
00:42:25 Appendicitis.
00:42:27 Get the doctor to exam 4.
00:42:30 I don't know what's up. Just help.
00:42:32 - What's wrong?
00:42:34 Let's get her up on the table.
00:42:43 Okay, here we are.
00:42:44 Commune away.
00:42:46 Is this where it hurts?
00:42:48 Just...
00:42:50 Here?
00:42:51 You know, I think you need to go
00:42:55 Never been in a morgue.
00:42:56 What are we looking for?
00:42:59 I don't know. Something about
00:43:03 Oh, look. Teddy Lipscomb.
00:43:06 Excuse me?
00:43:08 - You know this guy?
00:43:12 Oh, man!
00:43:15 Cardiac arrest.
00:43:16 Right. Medical term for dying in the
00:43:21 Poor guy.
00:43:23 See, now, remind me
00:43:27 He's wearing a hospital I.D. Bracelet.
00:43:29 You're supposed to get well
00:43:32 The morgue doesn't have its own ramp,
00:43:37 Technically, they'd have to be admitted.
00:43:42 They're all wearing bracelets.
00:43:43 It's bureaucratic red tape.
00:43:46 You did.
00:43:48 Yeah, cute little striped outfit,
00:43:51 Girl Scouts.
00:43:53 - Is this where it hurts?
00:43:55 Just a tad bit...
00:43:57 That's the spot.
00:44:00 I love you.
00:44:03 You got it.
00:44:10 You wouldn't take a bag off
00:44:15 Yeah, probably.
00:44:16 Maybe.
00:44:22 Pleasure's been all mine, Doctor.
00:44:25 How you doing, Mom?
00:44:26 Nurse, I have a question for you.
00:44:29 Were you on duty the night
00:44:32 I was.
00:44:34 Back door.
00:44:36 I have a question.
00:44:40 Someone had to put the I.D. Bracelet on.
00:44:42 Would you take the bag off
00:44:45 No, they snap on.
00:44:47 They snap on?
00:44:50 Thank you.
00:44:52 It was easier with him
00:44:57 Excuse me?
00:44:59 Doc Poe called from the crime scene and
00:45:06 You bagged the hands?
00:45:07 Yes, I wrote it up
00:45:10 May I see that?
00:45:14 We'll let Sonny tell you.
00:45:17 Before Sonny gets here,
00:45:20 - Fire away.
00:45:30 What do you got?
00:45:33 The evening started out
00:45:37 The argument...
00:45:38 ...the shouting...
00:45:43 You let me down, like everyone else.
00:45:46 My mama let me down. She hates me
00:45:50 - What are you yelling about?
00:45:52 It's fine for you to talk to me
00:45:57 You could do it
00:45:59 Bullshit, Jim!
00:46:01 If you don't like it,
00:46:04 Get the hell out.
00:46:06 This candle is about ready
00:46:09 I'll stop paying the insurance
00:46:13 You want to leave,
00:46:19 The damaged clock...
00:46:32 Goddamn it.
00:46:33 Walk into my house
00:46:36 You're going to jail, young man.
00:46:40 Billy pointing the Luger...
00:46:42 I may be leaving tomorrow...
00:46:45 ...but goddamn it...
00:46:46 But here's the difference:
00:46:49 ...you're leaving tonight.
00:46:51 ...nothing happened.
00:46:52 The gun was on safety.
00:46:55 As he fumbled to take the safety off.
00:47:04 ...and I shot him.
00:47:21 He fell dead.
00:47:27 He never fired?
00:47:31 No.
00:47:33 I thought. "What have you done?!"
00:48:05 It explains...
00:48:07 ...why there's no powder
00:48:11 When I sit on that stand
00:48:14 ...Largent's case...
00:48:16 ...will crumble.
00:48:25 I don't see how you figure that.
00:48:29 If you tell that story...
00:48:31 ...you're admitting...
00:48:32 ...that you lied.
00:48:36 Lied to everyone.
00:48:37 The police...
00:48:39 ...the press...
00:48:42 ...everyone.
00:48:46 Yes.
00:48:49 Of course.
00:48:53 I'd rather be convicted of lying
00:48:59 So...
00:49:01 Hey, coach.
00:49:02 We got it.
00:49:05 Keep your seat.
00:49:07 Sonny, I need to tell you something.
00:49:09 Now, me first.
00:49:13 What I have to say has direct bearing
00:49:16 Can I get this out?
00:49:20 We got them by the gonads.
00:49:22 Detective Boone lied.
00:49:25 Doc Poe called the admitting nurse
00:49:30 ...if they were not already.
00:49:32 Which she did.
00:49:34 Right here in this document.
00:49:41 Many could have handled the body
00:49:46 Which explains how the powder
00:49:49 There it is.
00:49:51 The death knell to Finley Largent's
00:49:59 Your turn.
00:50:01 What was it?
00:50:06 Oh, it's not important.
00:50:15 Take a look here.
00:50:17 We got them, Jimbo.
00:50:27 Going somewhere, coach?
00:50:37 What's his story?
00:50:59 You're still under oath.
00:51:02 Frank...
00:51:04 ...are you absolutely sure...
00:51:06 ...that you bagged Billy Hanson's hands
00:51:10 Yes.
00:51:15 I have no further questions.
00:51:17 Redirect, Mr. Largent?
00:51:23 No, Your Honor.
00:51:25 Detective, you're excused. You're still
00:51:30 Defense calls Sara Warren...
00:51:33 ...R.N.
00:51:39 You won't find her in your notes.
00:51:41 She's not on your list, Finley.
00:51:43 Sara Warren is a direct rebuttal
00:51:48 She is, in fact, an admitting nurse...
00:51:51 ...at Chandler Emergency Room.
00:52:13 Mr. Williams. Will you describe
00:52:20 I met Billy Hanson when he came around
00:52:25 So...
00:52:26 ...I hired him in the workshop
00:52:29 He had some talent,
00:52:32 During this time...
00:52:33 ...I developed hypoglycemia. I
00:52:37 The doctor told me...
00:52:39 ...it was not good for me to be alone
00:52:43 So Billy would stay over...
00:52:45 ...and take care of me
00:52:47 He did not live at Mercer House,
00:52:53 Is that the full extent of your
00:53:00 No. Over time, it evolved
00:53:05 We became intimate.
00:53:07 Billy could be very charming.
00:53:09 He had his girlfriends and I had mine.
00:53:12 But to me...
00:53:13 ...sex is a perfectly natural thing.
00:53:16 It didn't bother me.
00:53:18 It was just an occasional natural
00:53:28 Would you describe to the jury...
00:53:31 ...the events
00:53:34 ...after the party?
00:53:37 By the time Billy got back to the house
00:53:40 ...and we got into an argument
00:53:43 I was going to an auction, and Billy was
00:53:49 But he insisted on taking
00:53:51 I do not approve of drugs
00:53:55 He became verbally abusive
00:53:58 He went into the hallway.
00:54:00 The argument continued there.
00:54:05 I went to call the police.
00:54:08 He said...
00:54:11 ...and I'll never forget this:
00:54:13 "I might leave tomorrow...
00:54:15 ...but goddamn it,
00:54:20 I saw that Luger...
00:54:21 ...and moved.
00:54:22 I reached in a drawer
00:54:24 As I came up,
00:54:27 ...I felt breeze by my shoulder.
00:54:33 And I fired.
00:54:37 I don't remember how many times.
00:54:41 It was horrible.
00:55:08 We're all Savannahians.
00:55:10 Our paths cross from time to time.
00:55:13 We greet each other.
00:55:15 Smile here. Nod there.
00:55:18 But even if we don 't know each other...
00:55:21 ...we have one thing in common.
00:55:24 This beautiful place where we all live.
00:55:28 And as one Savannahian...
00:55:30 ...to 12...
00:55:32 ...I'd like to thank you
00:55:36 ...for your diligence...
00:55:37 ...and here in this courtroom...
00:55:40 ...for your rapt attention.
00:55:41 I've watched you taking notes.
00:55:45 The prosecution
00:55:48 ...quoting someone
00:55:51 I don't know who that is...
00:55:53 ...but...
00:55:54 ...I do know who Perry Mason is.
00:55:58 You watch Perry Mason?
00:56:00 I do.
00:56:02 And I got to thinking...
00:56:04 ...if some TV writer...
00:56:06 ...was to come to Perry Mason
00:56:08 ..."Here you are, Mr. Raymond Burr,
00:56:12 You know what I think he'd say?
00:56:14 I think old Raymond would say...
00:56:16 "That's not a very good story.
00:56:19 I wouldn't have to be
00:56:22 ...to get that man off,
00:56:25 He'd be right!
00:56:28 Because...
00:56:29 ...by all the evidence,
00:56:35 But I'm not Perry Mason.
00:56:38 I'm not some TV lawyer.
00:56:41 So I got to scratch and tear
00:56:46 ...trying to whittle it down to nothing.
00:56:50 And darned if I don't think I have!
00:56:54 Because the fabrication
00:56:59 When you consider
00:57:02 ...has consistently lied
00:57:09 Does that surprise you...
00:57:12 ...that a detective would lie?
00:57:15 Of course he will.
00:57:17 He's not a bad man.
00:57:19 But how else will he play the cards...
00:57:22 ...that have been dealt to him
00:57:27 If Jim Williams...
00:57:29 ...is guilty of anything...
00:57:32 ...he's guilty of bad association.
00:57:35 But that's not why he's on trial for.
00:57:39 If you don't like...
00:57:41 ...or if you don't cotton
00:57:45 ...just think about this:
00:57:47 We deal with these people all the time.
00:57:49 Some good...
00:57:50 ...some bad.
00:57:53 They're a part of our community.
00:57:57 You can't judge a man for that.
00:58:00 This is God's world.
00:58:02 Let God be the judge of that.
00:58:06 And let you good folks...
00:58:08 ...be the judge of this.
00:58:12 Come on, now.
00:58:17 You let this man go home.
00:58:23 He's had enough.
00:58:30 Thank you.
00:59:08 Mr. Foreman,
00:59:12 Yes, we have, Your Honor.
00:59:14 Is it unanimous?
00:59:17 Yes!
00:59:22 Hand it to the sheriff, please.
00:59:37 Pick that up.
00:59:42 Hand it to me.
00:59:52 Give it back to him.
01:00:04 Defendant and attorneys,
01:00:10 Publish the verdict.
01:00:14 "We, the jury,
01:00:18 ...not guilty."
01:00:29 Members of the jury,
01:00:32 You've rendered great service
01:00:36 I'm going to dismiss you now
01:00:52 Congratulations, Jim.
01:00:54 Thank you, John.

01:01:37 We gots to go visit the boy.
01:01:43 We got to make him
01:01:46 Trial's over, Minerva.
01:01:49 Billy can't do anything to James now.
01:01:52 Why I come to you?
01:01:54 Because you...
01:01:56 ...out of everybody,
01:02:00 I know, the boy know, and you know
01:02:11 I'll come down for a minute.
01:02:16 I don't know about this.
01:02:18 That's exactly why you come this far.
01:02:47 Billy always loved Wild Turkey.
01:02:51 He ain't happy here.
01:02:55 Ain't what he thought it would be.
01:03:00 If you ain't in heaven yet, you want
01:03:06 The only way you're going to get up...
01:03:09 ...is if you quit playing with James.
01:03:24 I has influence with the dead.
01:03:27 They can lift you up.
01:03:29 Nobody else can do that for you.
01:03:41 Don't you laugh at me!
01:03:43 You think you had a harsh life?
01:03:45 You got no idea.
01:03:52 Never had no bills to pay...
01:03:54 ...no children to feed,
01:03:59 You had it easy.
01:04:03 You can just lay there.
01:04:38 Where's Jim?
01:04:56 Thanks for dropping by.
01:05:01 I've finished my Christmas party list...
01:05:07 ...and you made the cut.
01:05:08 I'm honored,
01:05:11 Many will be disappointed.
01:05:14 So, obviously,
01:05:18 Living here pisses off
01:05:23 - What can I do for you?
01:05:26 Yussopov's dagger may have seemed...
01:05:30 ...more useful,
01:05:32 ...but the painting
01:05:35 I hope you will accept it...
01:05:37 ...as an expression of my gratitude.
01:05:39 Newmarket Heath. The overpaint.
01:05:42 Thank you.
01:05:43 I'll have it sent along.
01:05:47 I don't want to keep you
01:05:53 But one more question, for the book.
01:05:58 Do you want to tell me
01:06:07 Sport...
01:06:09 ...truth, like art...
01:06:12 ...is in the eye of the beholder.
01:06:17 You believe what you choose...
01:06:20 ...and I'll believe what I know.
01:06:23 Good luck, Jim.
01:08:53 Why didn't you come in?
01:08:56 I never enter the office on Sunday.
01:08:58 Bad juju.
01:09:01 I still got a lot of questions.
01:09:05 You know all you need to know.
01:09:07 One thing...
01:09:09 ...don't commune so long with the dead
01:09:16 What's this?
01:09:29 I love you, boy.
01:09:31 But I ain't the only one.
01:09:53 How long's your lease?
01:09:57 Six months.

01:10:19 I cooked my Chablis' famous chicken.
01:10:24 And guess what?
01:10:26 You get your choice of breast or thigh.
01:10:29 What's it called, the chicken?
01:10:31 Chablis' Kicking Chicken.
01:10:39 Still walking the dog, Mr. Glover?
01:10:41 Yes, sir.
01:10:45 Patrick is walking kind of fancy
