Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil
|
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. |
01:01:26 |
Hey, boy! |
01:01:32 |
What do you got? |
01:01:35 |
Come on down. |
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. |
01:10:01 |
Welcome to Savannah. |
01:10:03 |
You hungry? |
01:10:05 |
- Come on. |
01:10:15 |
You two know you're not going anywhere |
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 |
