00:02:55 |

00:03:07 |

00:03:12 |
Hungry? |
00:03:15 |
You're having nothing? |
00:03:17 |
Im having them. |
00:03:20 |
Shit. |
00:03:22 |
Bye, girls. |
00:03:24 |
Let's go! |
00:03:28 |
You're on the house. |
00:03:29 |
Harry Rex! |
00:03:31 |
All those weekends... |
00:03:33 |
...fishing... |
00:03:34 |
...lounging, opportunities lost... |
00:03:37 |
...to renovate yourself. |
00:03:39 |
Tragic, just tragic, Jake. |
00:03:43 |
Makes Carla happy. |
00:03:45 |
Spent 4 marriages trying to figure |
00:03:48 |
You spent 4 marriages trying to |
00:03:54 |
Maybe that's it. |
00:03:55 |
Yeah, maybe. |
00:03:56 |
Swiggy? |
00:03:57 |
Lord, let my car be fixed today. |
00:03:59 |
Oh, dear. |
00:04:16 |
Who's that? |
00:04:19 |
She's young. |
00:04:21 |
Hold this. |
00:04:22 |
What're you doing? |
00:04:24 |
If they're old enough to crawl, |
00:04:27 |
What're you doing? |
00:04:28 |
What're you going to do? |
00:04:36 |
50 points! |
00:04:38 |
You good, boy! |
00:04:41 |
Shut up! |
00:04:42 |
Daddy! |
00:04:46 |
Go, bud. |
00:04:47 |
Shut up! |
00:04:49 |
Shut up! |
00:04:52 |
Ill kill you. |
00:04:53 |
My turn. |
00:04:56 |
There you are. |
00:04:57 |
Shut up! |
00:04:58 |
Daddy! |
00:05:10 |
Mama! |
00:05:22 |
What is this? |
00:05:23 |
Groceries! |
00:05:25 |
Y'all see her? |
00:06:07 |
How many appointments |
00:06:10 |
Not a one. |
00:06:12 |
But it is the first of the |
00:06:15 |
The checks are pouring in. |
00:06:19 |
That'll be your last drink. |
00:06:21 |
Just keep us no more than one |
00:06:25 |
You have been drinking. |
00:06:26 |
2 months. |
00:06:28 |
These are the most delinquent. |
00:06:32 |
I appreciate the practice, Captain. |
00:06:34 |
But you could've left me a few clients. |
00:06:44 |
Baby, here's Daddy coming. |
00:06:55 |
Im here, baby. Daddy's here. |
00:06:58 |
Daddy... |
00:06:59 |
...Im sorry I dropped the groceries. |
00:07:02 |
That's all right, baby. |
00:07:06 |
That's all right. |
00:07:33 |
Look at this. |
00:08:01 |
Billy Ray. |
00:08:03 |
Sorry, sir, but we don't allow |
00:08:07 |
Billy Ray Cobb... |
00:08:08 |
...you and Willard must come with me. |
00:08:11 |
I ain't moving. |
00:08:13 |
The girl you took for a ride... |
00:08:16 |
What girl? |
00:08:17 |
I got bad news for you. She didn't die. |
00:08:19 |
So unless there's another redneck |
00:08:23 |
...with a Confederate flag-- |
00:08:26 |
Blue gums... |
00:08:27 |
...get out of here and grab a branch. |
00:08:29 |
Unless you got an explanation for |
00:08:34 |
...you're going to jail. |
00:08:35 |
Get up. |
00:08:37 |
You go to hell, nigger. |
00:08:39 |
Goddamn! |
00:08:42 |
Come here. |
00:08:46 |
Now, you earn the |
00:08:49 |
Here, just like you like them. |
00:08:52 |
-Sugar, today Im going to have-- |
00:08:55 |
Ill just watch baby eat his. |
00:08:57 |
I didn't handle her husband's divorce. |
00:08:59 |
Im shriveling away here. |
00:09:01 |
Im shriveling. |
00:09:04 |
What's up? |
00:09:06 |
Didn't you defend Billy |
00:09:10 |
What for? |
00:09:12 |
Caught him selling dope. |
00:09:14 |
Spent time in Parchman. |
00:09:16 |
I think some Memphis |
00:09:19 |
Why do you ask? |
00:09:21 |
Picked him up for rape. |
00:09:24 |
Who'd they rape? |
00:09:26 |
You know Carl Lee Hailey? |
00:09:28 |
I defended his brother Lester. |
00:09:32 |
It was his little girl. |
00:09:37 |
Little Tonya? |
00:09:43 |
How old's she? |
00:09:46 |
She's ten. |
00:10:28 |
Mr. Willard... |
00:10:29 |
...Im Sheriff Walls. |
00:10:31 |
My mama voted for you. |
00:10:35 |
I seen you play for the Rams. |
00:10:40 |
Way I figure, a nigger |
00:10:46 |
No offense. |
00:10:50 |
What's your full name? |
00:10:52 |
James Lewis Willard. |
00:10:58 |
4, which is a difference of 110.60. |
00:11:05 |
Who's there? |
00:11:24 |
Carl Lee. |
00:11:31 |
How is she? |
00:11:34 |
She's holding on. |
00:11:37 |
Doctor says she ain't out |
00:11:47 |
They worked her over something good. |
00:11:57 |
You remember them 4 white boys |
00:12:07 |
They got off, didn't they? |
00:12:18 |
I was in a jam, you'd help |
00:12:23 |
Sure, Carl Lee. |
00:12:27 |
What kind of jam you talking of? |
00:12:30 |
You got a daughter, Jake. |
00:12:32 |
What would you do? |
00:12:44 |
You dream some good dreams. |
00:12:46 |
Good night, Daddy. |
00:12:49 |
Night, baby. |
00:13:06 |
Is she asleep? |
00:13:08 |
She's so sweet. |
00:13:10 |
Yeah, she is... |
00:13:11 |
...next to you. |
00:13:13 |
When I look at her though, I |
00:13:17 |
...Tonya. |
00:13:19 |
Don't. |
00:13:24 |
Don't do that to yourself. |
00:13:31 |
Something wrong? |
00:13:34 |
Tonya's father... |
00:13:36 |
...Carl Lee Hailey... |
00:13:38 |
...came to the office today. |
00:13:42 |
Man's heart is torn wide open, baby. |
00:13:44 |
I don't know, but... |
00:13:46 |
...seemed like he was |
00:13:49 |
Like what? |
00:13:51 |
Something like killing those boys. |
00:13:54 |
Was he serious? |
00:13:59 |
I don't know. I don't know. |
00:14:01 |
It could be just hurt talking. |
00:14:04 |
But when you think it's |
00:14:08 |
...go free... |
00:14:11 |
...and be walking the streets.... |
00:14:18 |
I don't know. |
00:14:21 |
After what that man has been through, |
00:14:26 |
Somebody should do something. |
00:14:29 |
You should call Sheriff Walls. |
00:15:26 |
...to release the |
00:15:33 |
I hope Im having a heart attack... |
00:15:35 |
...'cause then I get to sue you! |
00:15:37 |
Don't stand on ceremony, come on in. |
00:15:40 |
What? No clients? |
00:15:42 |
Just waiting to pick yours up on appeal. |
00:15:45 |
And you, are you on vacation? |
00:15:49 |
Fortunately for me, my lovely... |
00:15:51 |
...divorce doesn't go on vacation. |
00:15:53 |
However... |
00:15:55 |
...not even the richest, most |
00:15:59 |
...will be as satisfying as |
00:16:02 |
...get what's coming to them. |
00:16:09 |
Oh, dear. |
00:16:13 |
Im a fool for those |
00:16:18 |
Come on, let's get to court. |
00:16:21 |
Lucien thinks the two |
00:16:24 |
You saw Lucien? |
00:16:25 |
When? Where? |
00:16:27 |
How is he? |
00:16:28 |
Has he been eating better? |
00:16:33 |
Just curious. |
00:16:36 |
Refresh my recollection, how long |
00:16:41 |
We were never together. |
00:16:44 |
Come on, old girl. |
00:16:46 |
You can tell us. |
00:16:48 |
He was your boyfriend. |
00:16:49 |
I am an upstanding, God-fearing, |
00:16:53 |
...with unimpeachable morals who |
00:16:57 |
And I have never had or ever |
00:17:01 |
And if I did... |
00:17:02 |
...it would not be that old |
00:17:11 |
-She did him, a lot. |
00:17:20 |
Step back. |
00:17:23 |
Come on out. |
00:17:28 |
Boys, today's your big day. |
00:17:30 |
We'll go to the courthouse, |
00:17:34 |
...then we'll come back, |
00:17:37 |
If I get any trouble out of you, |
00:19:04 |
Mama, Daddy's home! |
00:19:08 |
Hannah, let's go inside for a minute. |
00:19:14 |
Let's find a book. |
00:19:48 |
Jake, are you hurt? |
00:19:52 |
Honey, are you okay? |
00:19:54 |
What is this? What is |
00:19:58 |
Jake, baby, are you okay? |
00:20:00 |
What happened? |
00:20:52 |
I'll see you. |
00:21:06 |
Will the sheriff comment? |
00:21:08 |
He might make a statement, or not. |
00:21:10 |
-Is it first-degree murder? |
00:21:14 |
Here comes the sheriff. |
00:21:16 |
I got no comment. No comment. |
00:21:18 |
Hey, Jake. Carl Lee |
00:21:21 |
Are you an attorney? |
00:21:23 |
I'll make a statement. |
00:21:27 |
Give us something for our newscasts. |
00:21:48 |
Didn't think I'd do it, did you? |
00:21:54 |
How you holding up? |
00:21:59 |
I ain't had nothing against them |
00:22:03 |
And I feel sorry for their |
00:22:08 |
...I ain't sorry for what I done. |
00:22:13 |
How's Looney? |
00:22:17 |
You blew his knee off his leg. |
00:22:20 |
Doctors are still with him. |
00:22:26 |
What'll happen to me? |
00:22:29 |
There's going to be a preliminary |
00:22:34 |
Then Buckley'll push for a fast trial. |
00:22:37 |
Who's Buckley? |
00:22:38 |
Rufus Buckley... |
00:22:40 |
...district attorney. |
00:22:41 |
He's mean, he's ambitious and he'll |
00:22:45 |
But you've beat him? |
00:22:47 |
Yeah. |
00:22:49 |
Not in a murder case. |
00:22:54 |
Think I can win? |
00:22:56 |
All depends on the jury, Carl Lee. |
00:23:00 |
Pick the right jury, and you'll walk. |
00:23:03 |
DA picks the jury and... |
00:23:05 |
...you get the gas. |
00:23:11 |
How much a case like this cost? |
00:23:16 |
Probably 50 grand. |
00:23:20 |
I can pay maybe ten. |
00:23:29 |
There're not a... |
00:23:31 |
...lot of white lawyers would've |
00:23:34 |
You did and got him off. |
00:23:37 |
I figure there's people out there... |
00:23:40 |
...tired of all the |
00:23:43 |
...they'd be sympathetic to a man who |
00:23:47 |
...even if he is black. |
00:23:56 |
You said you'd help me |
00:24:00 |
Well, Im in one now. |
00:24:03 |
What do you say? |
00:24:07 |
What can you tell us, sheriff? |
00:24:09 |
Comment? |
00:24:10 |
Are you with the police? |
00:24:12 |
Im a lawyer. |
00:24:13 |
Are you Hailey's attorney? |
00:24:16 |
Are you Mr. Hailey's attorney? |
00:24:18 |
Yes, I am. |
00:24:19 |
Your name? |
00:24:20 |
Brigance. Jake Brigance. |
00:24:30 |
Hailey's hired an attorney. |
00:24:32 |
Jake Brigance. |
00:24:36 |
And today ain't even my birthday. |
00:24:39 |
Brigance couldn't tie his |
00:24:43 |
He's never lost a murder case. |
00:24:45 |
Well, he's never tried one against me. |
00:24:49 |
Tomorrow at 3. Judge |
00:24:52 |
I was wrong. It is my birthday. |
00:24:55 |
All right. |
00:24:55 |
First, Brigance will file |
00:24:58 |
He'd be a fool not to. |
00:25:00 |
Why's that? |
00:25:01 |
Why? |
00:25:03 |
Should we tell our young, |
00:25:05 |
...the reality of jurisprudence? |
00:25:07 |
Evelyn, get me the state |
00:25:11 |
See, it's quite simple. |
00:25:13 |
This county's 26-30º/o |
00:25:16 |
Almost every other county is |
00:25:21 |
Blacks are more sympathetic to blacks. |
00:25:23 |
If he gets it moved, he has a greater |
00:25:27 |
But if the trial stays here, |
00:25:30 |
This is for you... |
00:25:32 |
...to integrate your brain |
00:25:36 |
He means without blacks on the jury, |
00:25:39 |
Noose is up for re-elect? |
00:25:41 |
Yeah, November. |
00:25:43 |
Reach out to our legislature friends. |
00:25:45 |
Have them call Noose. We'll help |
00:25:48 |
Also, send a case of whatever |
00:25:52 |
Dewars. |
00:25:53 |
Keep that old drunk on the sidelines. |
00:25:56 |
Get me Sam. |
00:25:57 |
And, gentlemen... |
00:26:00 |
...no mistakes. |
00:26:01 |
This is what we've waited for. |
00:26:04 |
Justifiable homicide'll never hold up. |
00:26:07 |
My only chance is to find a shrink... |
00:26:09 |
...to say Carl Lee was |
00:26:12 |
Now I might know a man |
00:26:16 |
You file for a change of venue? |
00:26:18 |
Of course. |
00:26:21 |
If Judge Noose denies it... |
00:26:24 |
...then you'll get an all |
00:26:27 |
Thanks. |
00:26:29 |
Bear in mind that Mr. Hailey is guilty |
00:26:34 |
It does not permit vigilante violence... |
00:26:36 |
...and he took the law |
00:26:40 |
He murdered two people. |
00:26:43 |
Two people who raped his |
00:26:49 |
You know... |
00:26:50 |
...you can win this case... |
00:26:53 |
...and justice will prevail. |
00:26:55 |
But lose... |
00:26:57 |
...and justice will also prevail. |
00:27:04 |
I could use your help. |
00:27:09 |
The sons-of-bitches |
00:27:12 |
I swore I will never enter |
00:27:16 |
You're the best lawyer Ive ever seen. |
00:27:19 |
I know how much it hurt when |
00:27:22 |
But they can't take your |
00:27:25 |
Good speech. |
00:27:27 |
I had a good teacher. |
00:27:29 |
Remember when I came to you? |
00:27:32 |
In that ridiculous blue suit. |
00:27:36 |
You sat me down and said to me... |
00:27:38 |
...I cannot promise you riches. |
00:27:40 |
What I can offer you... |
00:27:42 |
...is a chance to save the world... |
00:27:44 |
...one case at a time. |
00:27:48 |
Im saying the same words |
00:27:52 |
How about it, Lucien? |
00:27:57 |
The Lord is my shepherd. |
00:28:00 |
He maketh me to lie |
00:28:03 |
He leadeth me beside still waters. |
00:28:05 |
Yea, though I walk... |
00:28:07 |
...through the valley of the shadow |
00:28:11 |
...for Thou art with me. |
00:28:14 |
Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me. |
00:28:20 |
Sure am sorry about your brother. |
00:28:23 |
Old Willard, too. |
00:28:25 |
Good boys both. |
00:28:32 |
10 years ago... |
00:28:34 |
...that nigger'd be hanging |
00:28:37 |
Tell me what's wrong with this country. |
00:28:40 |
Klan would know what to do. |
00:28:42 |
My granddaddy, he was Klan. |
00:28:45 |
Ain't no Klan here. |
00:28:47 |
There's still some boys around. |
00:28:49 |
Skinheads who want to |
00:28:52 |
No, sir. Good God-fearing Klan. |
00:28:57 |
I got a friend, used to be active. |
00:29:02 |
You do that. |
00:29:04 |
You tell them boys we need |
00:29:07 |
I mean, right quick. |
00:29:12 |
Hurry up. |
00:29:14 |
Coming, coming. |
00:29:18 |
Look, there's Ozzie. |
00:29:21 |
To our family's TV debut. |
00:29:23 |
To the big time. |
00:29:26 |
I can't believe he didn't take |
00:29:29 |
Baby, some folks think those |
00:29:33 |
Here. |
00:29:34 |
Carl Lee Hailey may spend life in jail. |
00:29:38 |
-You did call Ozzie? |
00:29:41 |
Daddy's on TV. |
00:29:43 |
I'll show the men and women of the South |
00:29:46 |
That in the South, justice |
00:29:52 |
Impressive. Honey, |
00:29:56 |
Isn't Daddy smart? |
00:29:58 |
Brigance. |
00:29:59 |
That was great. |
00:30:01 |
No, we just saw it. |
00:30:03 |
All right, Harry Rex. |
00:30:05 |
Im proud of you. |
00:30:06 |
Good stuff, huh? |
00:30:08 |
Hear this? Think it's a press agent? |
00:30:11 |
Don't be gross. |
00:30:14 |
F. Lee Bailey's office. |
00:30:16 |
You nigger-loving son-of-a-bitch, |
00:30:24 |
Do you have sympathy for the defense? |
00:30:26 |
Of course I do. You're |
00:30:29 |
We all have families. Who wouldn't? |
00:30:32 |
Don't presume the DA is insensitive. |
00:30:35 |
But the people of this state entrusted |
00:30:39 |
Our society cannot condone men who |
00:30:44 |
If you get a conviction, |
00:30:46 |
Yes, I will seek the death |
00:30:49 |
What do you think of Brigance? |
00:30:51 |
Isn't he still in law school? |
00:30:53 |
Say hey to your husband for me. |
00:31:09 |
Hey, Cora Mae, don't you worry. |
00:31:15 |
You plead him guilty, Ill ask |
00:31:19 |
You drop your case now, I won't |
00:31:23 |
All rise! |
00:31:26 |
Court is in session. |
00:31:27 |
The Honorable Omar Noose presiding. |
00:31:30 |
Good afternoon, citizens. |
00:31:34 |
Be seated. |
00:31:36 |
Counsel. |
00:31:37 |
And you, sir... |
00:31:39 |
...are you Carl Lee Hailey? |
00:31:43 |
I am holding a copy of an indictment... |
00:31:46 |
...returned by the grand jury... |
00:31:48 |
...presenting that Carl Lee Hailey... |
00:31:51 |
...did murder Billy Ray |
00:31:55 |
...and James Willard, a human being... |
00:31:57 |
...and did attempt to kill |
00:32:00 |
...a peace officer... |
00:32:01 |
...against the peace and |
00:32:04 |
Do you understand the |
00:32:08 |
How do you wish to plead? |
00:32:12 |
Not guilty. |
00:32:15 |
The defense enters a plea of not |
00:32:18 |
Your trial is set for July 22. |
00:32:21 |
All pre-trial motions and matters should |
00:32:25 |
Yes. |
00:32:26 |
The State requests the defendant |
00:32:31 |
Granted. |
00:32:32 |
Additionally, the State |
00:32:35 |
We have not yet asked for bail. |
00:32:39 |
...cannot oppose a |
00:32:42 |
Your Honor... |
00:32:43 |
...even Mr. Brigance's meager legal |
00:32:48 |
...I haven't been |
00:32:50 |
...and he is required to request bail. |
00:32:53 |
The State opposes any request. |
00:32:55 |
In the future, why don't we |
00:32:58 |
Thank you. |
00:32:59 |
We would like to request bail. |
00:33:01 |
Denied. |
00:33:03 |
I never allow bail... |
00:33:05 |
...in a murder case and don't feel |
00:33:09 |
Good enough. We will be |
00:33:12 |
I anticipated this. |
00:33:14 |
Let me save you some time. |
00:33:18 |
We have not yet filed. |
00:33:20 |
We are simply indicating our |
00:33:24 |
I said, Request denied. |
00:33:27 |
Your Honor... |
00:33:28 |
...how can you summarily |
00:33:31 |
It is quite clear that Carl Lee Hailey |
00:33:36 |
Sidebar. |
00:33:37 |
We have a right-- |
00:33:42 |
I will not tolerate |
00:33:53 |
Get to work. |
00:33:55 |
Excellent technique, counselor. |
00:34:10 |
Your Honor. |
00:34:11 |
It would be remiss not to tell |
00:34:15 |
...and State vs. Fisher... |
00:34:16 |
...both in 1985... |
00:34:18 |
...Failure to consider |
00:34:21 |
...has been a reversible |
00:34:26 |
No trial judge... |
00:34:28 |
...likes his rulings overturned. |
00:34:31 |
I guess you get to submit |
00:34:34 |
Have it on my desk Tuesday. |
00:34:36 |
Mr. Hailey... |
00:34:38 |
...you are hereby ordered... |
00:34:41 |
...to remain in custody of the |
00:34:45 |
Dismissed. |
00:34:55 |
Find me that state doctor, Rodeheaver. |
00:34:59 |
I want to find who Brigance is using |
00:35:04 |
Professional or personal dirt? |
00:35:06 |
Just get me enough to |
00:35:09 |
We can do that. |
00:35:16 |
This is $900, Carl Lee. |
00:35:20 |
My kids got to eat. |
00:35:23 |
Mine too. |
00:35:27 |
When do I get the rest? |
00:35:29 |
Them folks at the bank, they |
00:35:32 |
Why? The house is almost paid for. |
00:35:37 |
Say I wasn't in jail then. Say to Gwen, |
00:35:41 |
And I lost my job at the mill. |
00:35:44 |
They called Gwen. |
00:35:45 |
Worked 20 years, Im out |
00:35:51 |
Carl Lee... |
00:35:52 |
...I can't try a capital |
00:35:56 |
I need to live. |
00:35:58 |
Me too, Jake. |
00:35:59 |
I need to live too. |
00:36:10 |
Nice night. |
00:36:17 |
Finder of precedents, mystery |
00:36:21 |
Care for a beer? |
00:36:26 |
I assume that's the infamous |
00:36:31 |
Ellen Roark. R-O-A-R-K. |
00:36:33 |
That's Roark in Boston, but it |
00:36:36 |
Boston. |
00:36:37 |
I was born there. My father's |
00:36:41 |
Attorney to the stars, yes. |
00:36:43 |
Duly impressed. |
00:36:44 |
What brings you to Mississippi? |
00:36:47 |
No, law school at Old Miss. |
00:36:49 |
It's a family tradition. |
00:36:52 |
Mom was a sweet little sorority |
00:36:56 |
I married a sweet little sorority |
00:36:59 |
They have an excellent selection. |
00:37:01 |
They do. |
00:37:02 |
No, really, what brings you to Canton? |
00:37:07 |
Carl Lee Hailey. |
00:37:11 |
I'd like to help you. |
00:37:13 |
What makes you think I need help? |
00:37:15 |
You're trying one of the largest |
00:37:19 |
...and you work alone. |
00:37:20 |
You have no paralegals, |
00:37:24 |
...nor can you afford any... |
00:37:25 |
...so if Noose doesn't |
00:37:28 |
...you go to trial in less than a month. |
00:37:33 |
How do you know this? |
00:37:34 |
Im an excellent researcher. |
00:37:37 |
I've played gofer for 7 |
00:37:40 |
...Ive witnessed 2 executions. |
00:37:44 |
Im top 5º/o of my class, editor of the |
00:37:49 |
And when I graduate... |
00:37:51 |
...I intend to spend a glorious career |
00:37:55 |
Let's see, what else? |
00:37:57 |
Genius runs in my family. |
00:37:58 |
You'll get me on the way up... |
00:38:00 |
...and I really think now |
00:38:05 |
Anything else I should know? |
00:38:07 |
Let's see, anything else? |
00:38:09 |
My father's rich so Ill work for free. |
00:38:13 |
What do you think? |
00:38:18 |
I think Ill drop this brief |
00:38:21 |
Go home, see my family. |
00:38:23 |
Thanks, but I can handle the case. |
00:38:30 |
You might look at these precedents. |
00:38:32 |
State vs. Cooper... |
00:38:34 |
...and State vs. Roundtree. |
00:38:40 |
You'll change your mind. |
00:38:44 |
See you. |
00:38:52 |
Get out. |
00:38:53 |
Come on. |
00:38:56 |
Come here. Come on. |
00:39:20 |
Mr. Cobb... |
00:39:21 |
...this is Stump Sisson, |
00:39:26 |
You were looking for us? |
00:39:30 |
You were right to call us, |
00:39:33 |
They say the Klan is dead. |
00:39:37 |
Klan don't show up |
00:39:40 |
...people say the Klan is dead. |
00:39:42 |
Fact is, it just looks dead. |
00:39:45 |
The Klan has always been right there... |
00:39:48 |
...under the surface... |
00:39:51 |
...just waiting for the opportunity |
00:39:56 |
I want help. |
00:39:58 |
I want to kill that nigger. |
00:40:00 |
Niggers got... |
00:40:01 |
...plenty of protection nowadays. |
00:40:04 |
They got the NAACP... |
00:40:06 |
...and the A.C.L.U. |
00:40:09 |
Even the federal government. |
00:40:11 |
Hell... |
00:40:13 |
...white folks ain't got a chance. |
00:40:17 |
Except the Klan. |
00:40:22 |
Im going to tell you what. |
00:40:26 |
You get 5 or 6 of your |
00:40:29 |
...and we'll initiate... |
00:40:31 |
...the Madison County Klavern. |
00:40:35 |
Even make you leader. |
00:40:39 |
Now, you tell me... |
00:40:41 |
...who's that nigger's lawyer? |
00:40:43 |
Local boy. |
00:40:45 |
His name's Brigance. |
00:40:50 |
He got family? |
00:40:52 |
Yes, sir. He has a wife and a daughter. |
00:40:58 |
Good. |
00:41:39 |
Why's he here? |
00:41:40 |
Calm down, son. |
00:41:42 |
Calm down. Come on, now. |
00:41:45 |
He has no right after what he did. |
00:41:48 |
Don't get your mom upset now. |
00:42:04 |
Looney? |
00:42:07 |
Dwayne? |
00:42:12 |
I made Ozzie bring me. |
00:42:19 |
Shit, Dwayne, we... |
00:42:22 |
We knowed each other since childhood. |
00:42:29 |
It's my fault. |
00:42:31 |
No matter what's said in court... |
00:42:34 |
...I knew what I was doing, and I sure |
00:42:38 |
...just them two boys. |
00:42:45 |
I know it don't mean much now, but... |
00:42:49 |
...Im sorry. |
00:42:58 |
Some folks think a black man can't |
00:43:02 |
I'll show the men and women of the South |
00:43:06 |
It sure is a nigger's world. |
00:43:08 |
Not for long. |
00:43:11 |
Boys... |
00:43:12 |
...Im very proud to invite |
00:43:15 |
...in the war to protect our |
00:43:18 |
To resurrect our country... |
00:43:20 |
...from the fires of racial degradation. |
00:43:23 |
And to make whites... |
00:43:25 |
...the sole masters of |
00:43:29 |
What Im saying, fellas... |
00:43:32 |
...it's time for the nigger to pay. |
00:43:37 |
Is your telephone broken? |
00:43:38 |
We just had the number changed. |
00:43:41 |
That's what the operator said. |
00:43:43 |
To an unlisted number. |
00:43:45 |
Sorry you had to come up here. |
00:43:47 |
I should've called you, but this case-- |
00:43:49 |
This case has us all |
00:43:53 |
This thing could get ugly. |
00:43:54 |
And dangerous. |
00:43:56 |
Jake, he shot them in cold blood. |
00:44:00 |
They raped, almost killed his daughter. |
00:44:04 |
What if that happened to Hannah? |
00:44:09 |
May we ask a few questions? |
00:44:11 |
Can we get a quote? |
00:44:12 |
Excuse me, Im going to |
00:44:15 |
This isn't the time. |
00:44:17 |
It's really good for Carl Lee. |
00:44:21 |
Thank you for coming. |
00:44:28 |
Guess we'll have to read |
00:45:26 |
Praise Jesus! |
00:45:42 |
Reverend? |
00:45:44 |
Im Isaiah Street. |
00:45:46 |
It's an honor to meet you, Reverend. |
00:45:49 |
I saw you march with Dr. King. |
00:45:53 |
The struggle continues today... |
00:45:56 |
...here in Canton. |
00:45:57 |
Carl Lee Hailey's on trial because |
00:46:02 |
These people are with the NAACP. |
00:46:07 |
How do you do? |
00:46:08 |
How are you? |
00:46:11 |
The black community's concerned |
00:46:15 |
...isn't sensitive to the |
00:46:19 |
The NAACP... |
00:46:21 |
...wishes to provide |
00:46:26 |
We need to raise funds to |
00:46:31 |
I don't know, Reverend. |
00:46:36 |
Obviously... |
00:46:38 |
...we would expect you to take... |
00:46:41 |
...a modest administration |
00:47:09 |
Your loyalty... |
00:47:11 |
...has been forged... |
00:47:13 |
...in a baptism of fire. |
00:47:17 |
Rise, knights... |
00:47:18 |
...of the Ku Klux Klan... |
00:47:21 |
...and let your brethren... |
00:47:24 |
...never regret... |
00:47:27 |
...they believed you worthy... |
00:47:30 |
...of fellowship. |
00:47:37 |
Welcome to the Klan. |
00:47:51 |
I need to talk to Jake. |
00:47:53 |
He's not in. Who's calling? |
00:47:58 |
Mickey Mouse. |
00:48:00 |
-Who? |
00:48:02 |
Get out right now. |
00:48:05 |
Who's this? |
00:48:06 |
Get your daughter out of the |
00:48:13 |
Hannah, what is it? |
00:48:15 |
Oh, my God! |
00:48:17 |
Max, come on! |
00:48:19 |
Fire! |
00:48:21 |
Fire! |
00:48:28 |
It's a good thing Hastings |
00:48:31 |
The whole place could've burned. |
00:48:34 |
I appreciate it. |
00:48:35 |
Take care. |
00:48:44 |
She asleep, baby? |
00:48:47 |
The Ku Klux Klan is burning |
00:48:51 |
There's been no Klan |
00:48:54 |
This is just some dorks with too much |
00:49:02 |
Im sorry. |
00:49:03 |
About what? |
00:49:06 |
That you weren't home when they |
00:49:10 |
That you missed supper and didn't call? |
00:49:12 |
That you've become more interested |
00:49:15 |
...than in your own family? |
00:49:17 |
That Hannah comes home bawling |
00:49:21 |
What exactly are you sorry about, Jake? |
00:49:32 |
Remember the other night? |
00:49:35 |
I told you Carl Lee came by the office? |
00:49:38 |
Remember what we talked about? |
00:49:41 |
Calling Ozzie. |
00:49:46 |
You never called him, did you? |
00:49:49 |
You never called Sheriff Walls? |
00:49:52 |
I didn't call him. |
00:49:54 |
Lord have mercy, Jake, |
00:49:58 |
Carl Lee chose you. |
00:50:00 |
He told you what he was thinking. |
00:50:04 |
He told me what he was thinking, |
00:50:06 |
Jake Tyler Brigance, we agreed |
00:50:10 |
Now look at everything that's happened. |
00:50:13 |
I am sorry to tell you this, but... |
00:50:16 |
...those 2 boys are dead and you |
00:50:23 |
Are you and Daddy fighting? |
00:50:26 |
Come here. |
00:50:27 |
Come here, come here. |
00:50:30 |
Mommy's just upset because some |
00:50:34 |
It's nothing. |
00:50:36 |
Nothing at all, okay? |
00:50:44 |
What did the Memphis doctor say? |
00:50:47 |
She's doing good. |
00:50:50 |
Her jaw is healing. |
00:50:52 |
She can't run and jump yet, but... |
00:50:54 |
...it won't be long. |
00:50:56 |
How about the other? |
00:51:06 |
There was too much damage. |
00:51:09 |
She ain't gonna never have kids. |
00:51:19 |
You know, I think about them two boys. |
00:51:22 |
Dead, buried... |
00:51:24 |
...probably starting to rot... |
00:51:26 |
...and I remember them |
00:51:29 |
...one proud, the other scared. |
00:51:33 |
I remember how they fell. |
00:51:35 |
One on top of the other, screaming |
00:51:42 |
God help me, Gwen, but... |
00:51:46 |
...that's the only |
00:51:51 |
They took up a collection |
00:51:55 |
Some kind of defense fund. |
00:51:58 |
Reverend Agee gave a good service. |
00:52:03 |
We need some money 'round |
00:52:07 |
...for groceries and bills. |
00:52:10 |
How much you got? |
00:52:13 |
Less than 50. |
00:52:16 |
I'll think of something. |
00:52:20 |
How you think you going to get |
00:52:24 |
Trust me, Gwen. |
00:52:31 |
I just get scared. |
00:52:34 |
Look here... |
00:52:37 |
...tell me exactly what |
00:52:40 |
...when he passed around |
00:52:42 |
I don't care. We're dealing |
00:52:45 |
-I must talk to my supervisor. |
00:52:48 |
Get out! |
00:52:49 |
How are things at the electric company? |
00:52:52 |
That is the second time this |
00:52:56 |
How much we owe? |
00:52:57 |
$2,000. |
00:52:59 |
-How much do we have? |
00:53:01 |
Look, this week nothing |
00:53:04 |
What about Buck Britt's retainer? |
00:53:07 |
That check bounced. |
00:53:09 |
What do you mean? |
00:53:10 |
It bounced, Jake. |
00:53:12 |
It sat on your desk all week. |
00:53:15 |
Not that you'd notice. |
00:53:18 |
Since you took this case, you |
00:53:22 |
...you don't take your calls... |
00:53:24 |
...you're obsessed! You are! |
00:53:26 |
You're obsessed! |
00:53:28 |
Your obsession is going to break us! |
00:53:31 |
What's wrong? We've |
00:53:34 |
No, not like this, Jake. |
00:53:36 |
Not like this. |
00:53:39 |
We've been getting calls. |
00:53:41 |
At home. |
00:53:42 |
Threats. |
00:53:45 |
You know Bud has survived two strokes. |
00:53:49 |
Why didn't you tell me? |
00:53:51 |
Why, Jake? |
00:53:53 |
Would you drop the case? |
00:54:00 |
Jake Brigance's office. |
00:54:02 |
Until they cut the phones off. |
00:54:05 |
Oh, right. |
00:54:09 |
That was Sheriff Walls. |
00:54:20 |
What's going on here? |
00:54:22 |
Im Isaiah Street. |
00:54:24 |
Jake Brigance. |
00:54:27 |
I believe you know Reverend Agee. |
00:54:29 |
And this is... |
00:54:31 |
Norman Reinfeld, Ive seen |
00:54:34 |
I assume these boys carry your things. |
00:54:37 |
Just a small part of |
00:54:40 |
Pleasure, Mr. Brigance. |
00:54:42 |
If it's a party, where's the beer? |
00:54:45 |
Otherwise... |
00:54:46 |
...your being here seems a bit like |
00:54:49 |
...with Carl Lee |
00:54:52 |
Just a minute. |
00:54:53 |
Carl Lee invited us here. |
00:54:58 |
Mr. Brigance... |
00:55:00 |
...let me be frank. |
00:55:02 |
Mr. Hailey's case has |
00:55:06 |
Carl Lee's acquittal for |
00:55:08 |
...would do more for |
00:55:10 |
...any event since we |
00:55:14 |
His conviction, on the other |
00:55:17 |
A symbol of deep-seated racism. |
00:55:19 |
Perhaps enough to ignite a nation. |
00:55:22 |
See how important this case is? |
00:55:24 |
Enter Mr. Reinfeld's death squad, right? |
00:55:27 |
It's an unfortunate |
00:55:30 |
My lawyers and I handle |
00:55:34 |
Of all your cases... |
00:55:35 |
...how many are supposed to be |
00:55:40 |
How much a defense like that cost? |
00:55:48 |
What, about $100,000? |
00:55:50 |
We are prepared to accept $7,000 |
00:55:54 |
Carl Lee doesn't have $7,000. |
00:55:57 |
Do you? |
00:55:59 |
The NAACP... |
00:56:00 |
...has raised $5,000 for Carl |
00:56:04 |
And we raised an additional |
00:56:08 |
Let me ask you something. |
00:56:10 |
How much of that cash you |
00:56:13 |
That money... |
00:56:14 |
...is to go to pay for lawyers' fees. |
00:56:17 |
That ain't what you told the church. |
00:56:19 |
You almost cried when you told them... |
00:56:22 |
...how my family might starve |
00:56:26 |
The money is for you |
00:56:29 |
...we thought it'd be better |
00:56:32 |
Speaking of that defense fund... |
00:56:34 |
...can I use that for any lawyer I want? |
00:56:38 |
It's not that simple, Carl Lee. |
00:56:40 |
Actually, it is that simple, Carl Lee. |
00:56:43 |
Unless the NAACP... |
00:56:45 |
...wants to go on record as soliciting |
00:56:48 |
Listen... |
00:56:49 |
...we raised that money... |
00:56:51 |
...for these men to get you out of |
00:56:55 |
Now, hold on. Hold on right there, now. |
00:56:58 |
Let me just get this |
00:57:04 |
If you don't give my wife... |
00:57:06 |
...that cash... |
00:57:08 |
...Ill see to it everybody in this |
00:57:12 |
Your congregation will |
00:57:14 |
...Gwen and the kids can't eat |
00:57:18 |
That's right. |
00:57:20 |
When Im through with you... |
00:57:21 |
...you won't be able to collect |
00:57:25 |
We'll expect the check for |
00:57:31 |
I sure do appreciate your fine work... |
00:57:33 |
...but Ill take my chances with Jake. |
00:57:37 |
Thanks for coming down. |
00:57:40 |
We'll expect that check... |
00:57:43 |
...for Jake's legal services |
00:57:50 |
Good day, men. |
00:58:09 |
You set that whole thing up. |
00:58:11 |
Couldn't have done it alone. |
00:58:15 |
Make one hell of a team. |
00:58:18 |
You out there. |
00:58:19 |
Im in here. |
00:58:21 |
We ain't no team. |
00:58:46 |
There's trouble. |
00:58:49 |
Look there. |
00:58:56 |
No, here's trouble. |
00:59:07 |
You are? |
00:59:08 |
Meet Harry Rex Vonner... |
00:59:10 |
...the most effective, morally- |
00:59:13 |
Ellen Roark, brilliant law student. |
00:59:15 |
Do what you will. |
00:59:16 |
Looking forward to it. |
00:59:20 |
This might interest you. |
00:59:22 |
In assessing murder trials, the |
00:59:26 |
And of the 1º/o that resulted in acquittal |
00:59:31 |
Defending psychiatrist regardless of the |
00:59:36 |
Shazam. She is brilliant. |
00:59:38 |
She. That would be me? |
00:59:40 |
Who else? |
00:59:41 |
She would be me. |
00:59:42 |
She is saying that if I |
00:59:45 |
...the verdict will hinge on the |
00:59:49 |
She will be correct. |
00:59:51 |
She would. |
00:59:53 |
Sure you don't need help? |
00:59:55 |
I do. |
00:59:56 |
Im hiring. Right now. Me. |
00:59:59 |
Roark, I am sure that I don't need |
01:00:05 |
I guess that would just |
01:00:10 |
Nice to meet you, Morally-Compromised. |
01:00:12 |
Pleasure's all mine... |
01:00:14 |
...She. |
01:00:18 |
You've got to love the Lord |
01:00:22 |
Sure you don't want to look at |
01:00:27 |
No, I don't want to look at |
01:00:31 |
You do? |
01:00:32 |
Yeah, buddy. |
01:00:33 |
This is your chance to put aside your |
01:00:38 |
...and do some real law for once. |
01:00:42 |
Mr. Vonner, in short... |
01:00:44 |
...you have the opportunity to |
01:00:48 |
Let me get this straight. |
01:00:49 |
You want me to put aside my |
01:00:53 |
...astonishingly lucrative, |
01:00:57 |
...come work with you on an unwinnable, |
01:01:02 |
...because it matters? |
01:01:03 |
It's a novel idea, I know. |
01:01:05 |
No way. Never. |
01:01:09 |
Goodnight, y'all. |
01:01:16 |
I need the sheriff. |
01:01:18 |
He's asleep. |
01:01:19 |
Well, get him up. |
01:01:21 |
Who is this? |
01:01:22 |
Someone's going to die tonight. |
01:01:47 |
I got him! |
01:01:49 |
Get his ass! |
01:01:51 |
What's in the case? |
01:02:01 |
It's ticking. |
01:02:02 |
What is it? |
01:02:04 |
I ain't saying. |
01:02:10 |
Family out? |
01:02:13 |
Its locked. |
01:02:19 |
Open it. |
01:02:31 |
My God! |
01:02:33 |
Oh, man.... |
01:02:36 |
Defuse it. |
01:02:38 |
Im going to take you and this... |
01:02:40 |
...nigger-lover to hell with-- |
01:02:43 |
Ain't nothing more dangerous |
01:02:46 |
Lay that thing back down there |
01:02:49 |
Carla loves this house. |
01:03:13 |
Come here. |
01:03:18 |
Are you coming to Grandpa's too? |
01:03:21 |
Daddy must stay here and work. |
01:03:23 |
You and your mom have a good time. |
01:03:26 |
You be good. |
01:03:28 |
Go get your stuff. |
01:03:31 |
You said you'd quit if it got dangerous. |
01:03:33 |
I know. |
01:03:34 |
I can't quit now, you know that. |
01:03:37 |
Carl Lee is facing the gas chamber. |
01:03:42 |
I understand that, Jake. |
01:03:44 |
Remember that we're counting on you too. |
01:03:47 |
What if something happens to you? |
01:03:49 |
Nothing's going to happen. Come here. |
01:03:52 |
Hug? |
01:03:54 |
Everything will be okay. |
01:03:59 |
Okay, babe? |
01:04:02 |
I promise. |
01:04:05 |
Don't make promises you can't keep. |
01:04:12 |
You ready? |
01:04:25 |
Good afternoon. Come in. |
01:04:29 |
Good afternoon. |
01:04:30 |
You may come this way. |
01:04:33 |
Thank you, sir. |
01:04:43 |
Judge Noose. |
01:04:46 |
Thanks for coming. |
01:04:49 |
Heard you had trouble last night. |
01:04:52 |
Makes you wonder about the |
01:04:55 |
This is a beautiful place you have here. |
01:04:58 |
Ill get to the point. |
01:05:00 |
Ive thoroughly reviewed |
01:05:04 |
...a change of venue. |
01:05:06 |
And I agree with you. It's impossible |
01:05:10 |
I think it's impossible to find an |
01:05:15 |
As such... |
01:05:17 |
...a jury here would be... |
01:05:19 |
...as fair as a jury anywhere else. |
01:05:22 |
So I decided to deny your |
01:05:28 |
I guess that... |
01:05:30 |
...gives me something to appeal. |
01:05:32 |
Actually, no. |
01:05:34 |
I spoke to Judge Dent... |
01:05:37 |
...and he believes that the Supreme |
01:05:42 |
You certainly covered your bases. |
01:05:47 |
You're a good lawyer. |
01:05:50 |
You're bright and ambitious. |
01:05:52 |
You could be someone. |
01:05:54 |
You sure you want to be known as |
01:05:58 |
Could be very unpopular. |
01:06:01 |
Talk to your client. |
01:06:03 |
He pleads guilty... |
01:06:05 |
...Buckley'll accept manslaughter. |
01:06:09 |
And how's his wife supposed |
01:06:13 |
Better than being a widow. |
01:06:16 |
Think about it. |
01:06:18 |
Why toss away a promising career? |
01:06:25 |
Good day. |
01:06:26 |
Thanks for coming. |
01:06:33 |
Where the hell is this guy? |
01:06:35 |
Born alcoholic. |
01:06:37 |
But the man cannot hold his liquor. |
01:06:41 |
Allow me to present |
01:06:46 |
Expert witness for the defense. |
01:06:50 |
This is Jake Brigance... |
01:06:52 |
...my protégé. |
01:07:03 |
Are you kidding me? |
01:07:04 |
Relax. |
01:07:06 |
When he's sober, he's terrific. |
01:07:09 |
He has his license. |
01:07:11 |
His credentials are impeccable. |
01:07:17 |
Well, I need a drink. |
01:07:19 |
3 in the afternoon? |
01:07:21 |
My, oh, my, what would your wife say? |
01:07:24 |
I am my own man. I drink when I want. |
01:07:26 |
-When did she leave town? |
01:07:48 |
God! |
01:08:04 |
That's enough! |
01:08:11 |
Now you tell your boss... |
01:08:13 |
...next time people are going to die. |
01:08:48 |
Morning. |
01:08:52 |
Nice parking job. Late night? |
01:09:04 |
So, here. |
01:09:07 |
Thank you. |
01:09:08 |
Your wife lets you sleep here? |
01:09:10 |
My wife left town. |
01:09:12 |
That's too bad. |
01:09:14 |
Listen, I heard that... |
01:09:16 |
...Noose turned down your motion. |
01:09:21 |
Its time I take you to breakfast. |
01:09:27 |
Lunch. |
01:09:30 |
Quit playing with that food. |
01:09:31 |
Y'all come back. You need to |
01:09:35 |
Thank you. |
01:09:36 |
Now.... |
01:09:37 |
You are opposed to the death penalty. |
01:09:40 |
Why? |
01:09:41 |
You're not? |
01:09:43 |
Im in favor of it. |
01:09:45 |
I'd like to go back to |
01:09:49 |
You're kidding. |
01:09:50 |
No. The only problem with the death |
01:09:58 |
Have you told Carl Lee this? |
01:10:00 |
The men who raped his daughter deserved |
01:10:04 |
How do you decide who |
01:10:07 |
Simple. You take the crime |
01:10:12 |
Now, say... |
01:10:13 |
...a crack dealer guns |
01:10:16 |
You strap him to a chair and turn it on. |
01:10:18 |
For some reason, I thought |
01:10:21 |
I am a liberal. |
01:10:23 |
What I am not is a |
01:10:27 |
I don't believe in rehabilitation. |
01:10:30 |
I believe in safety. |
01:10:32 |
I believe in justice. |
01:10:35 |
I see. Well, let me ask you something. |
01:10:38 |
Ever seen an execution? |
01:10:41 |
Not that I recall. |
01:10:43 |
I suggest you go watch |
01:10:45 |
You watch him die, watch him beg, watch |
01:10:50 |
...until he shits and is gone. |
01:10:52 |
Then come back and sing |
01:10:55 |
Spare me your Northern |
01:10:58 |
...we-are-the-only-enlightened-ones |
01:11:01 |
Im sorry, yes, you are the enlightened. |
01:11:04 |
That's why you brought me to this |
01:11:08 |
So you can convince me you're |
01:11:12 |
Is that it? |
01:11:13 |
Or is it because you're a repressed, |
01:11:16 |
...who didn't want to be seen |
01:11:20 |
Yes, siree, you sure are enlightened. |
01:11:22 |
Im terribly sorry, Ive made a mistake. |
01:11:27 |
Thank you for your time. |
01:11:45 |
Im a little worked up. |
01:11:48 |
That's not the best |
01:11:54 |
I don't want the jury to see pictures of |
01:12:00 |
Its vital the jury know |
01:12:03 |
Ill need briefs on both. |
01:12:06 |
I don't like your politics, |
01:12:09 |
...and that's something Carl |
01:12:15 |
You getting this? |
01:12:16 |
Im writing it down. |
01:12:19 |
Here's what we got. It's official. |
01:12:22 |
Hailey's trial will be held in Canton. |
01:12:24 |
Today, presiding Judge Noose issued |
01:12:29 |
...in a sealed envelope. |
01:12:32 |
To prevent tampering... |
01:12:35 |
...that list will be kept |
01:12:39 |
No one, not even |
01:12:42 |
...will know the identities |
00:00:21 |
Free Carl Lee! |
00:00:22 |
Free Carl Lee! |
00:00:24 |
Free Carl Lee! |
00:00:33 |
Beautiful day, isn't it? |
00:00:35 |
There he is. |
00:00:38 |
Any word on Bud? |
00:00:40 |
Ethel's still with him. |
00:00:43 |
Well, well, well. |
00:00:45 |
The Pillsbury Dough Boy. |
00:00:47 |
Still practicing exploitative law? |
00:00:50 |
Thought you were dead. |
00:00:51 |
Im trying. What do we have here? |
00:00:53 |
Id like to introduce-- |
00:00:55 |
Lucien Wilbanks, third white man in |
00:01:00 |
...permanently disbarred |
00:01:02 |
...for attacking police who busted |
00:01:06 |
It is a pleasure, Ms. Ark. |
00:01:11 |
Everyone, jury selection begins today. |
00:01:13 |
To win this case we need a |
00:01:17 |
...and a jury that can use the |
00:01:20 |
I need a drink. |
00:01:21 |
No drinking. |
00:01:23 |
What do you mean? |
00:01:25 |
Its my building, leased to |
00:01:28 |
...and I want a drink. |
00:01:30 |
Ms. Ark, I have all the |
00:01:33 |
I believe in your right to equal pay, |
00:01:37 |
...or to abort one. |
00:01:40 |
Since you are a law clerk... |
00:01:43 |
...genderless in my eyes... |
00:01:44 |
...I think you should be |
00:01:47 |
ERA, she woman. That would be |
00:01:52 |
No drinking. Not today. |
00:01:59 |
Noose selects this panel randomly. |
00:02:01 |
Too many bad candidates and we're sunk. |
00:02:03 |
Luck of the draw. |
00:02:05 |
What you need... |
00:02:06 |
...is young fathers who want |
00:02:09 |
Agreed. We need young |
00:02:12 |
Id prefer no one over 50. |
00:02:16 |
So we stay away from women, |
00:02:19 |
Citizens, thank you. |
00:02:21 |
Counsel, you each have 12 |
00:02:26 |
The state challenges jurors #6... |
00:02:30 |
...10... |
00:02:31 |
...and 32. |
00:02:32 |
Your Honor, the defense |

00:02:47 |
27, 28. |
00:02:49 |
And 31. |
00:02:50 |
Your Honor, the defense also |
00:02:59 |
That's it, then. |
00:03:07 |
Jurors, you will be |
00:03:11 |
Opening statements begin tomorrow. |
00:03:15 |
That's a jury of my peers? |
00:03:19 |
God bless America. |
00:03:22 |
My name is Stump Sisson... |
00:03:25 |
...and Im proud to be a Grand Dragon... |
00:03:28 |
...for the Invisible Empire... |
00:03:30 |
...of the Ku Klux Klan! |
00:03:34 |
What the hell? |
00:03:35 |
Im here to say... |
00:03:37 |
...that the law-abiding |
00:03:40 |
...are sick and tired |
00:03:43 |
...raping, killing, and |
00:03:49 |
We demand justice! |
00:03:51 |
We demand this nigger... |
00:03:53 |
...be convicted... |
00:03:55 |
...and his black ass |
00:03:59 |
Who's a nigger?! |
00:04:00 |
You pointy-headed... |
00:04:02 |
...white-faced, no-good |
00:04:04 |
Shut up, you wild animal. |
00:04:06 |
Ill drag your ass out of here! |
00:04:09 |
You're the animal! |
00:05:23 |
Open the gate! |
00:05:37 |
Turn around. |
00:05:44 |
Know what? |
00:05:45 |
Just take off your pants. |
00:05:46 |
Come on, do I look that easy? |
00:05:48 |
Afraid Ill see your underwear? |
00:05:51 |
With Carla gone, the laundry's |
00:05:54 |
I haven't worn any in years. |
00:05:58 |
Im not going to watch, I promise. |
00:06:02 |
Fine. |
00:06:06 |
What I need from you... |
00:06:07 |
Do tell. |
00:06:09 |
Is a way to discredit the |
00:06:12 |
Unless you discredit the shrink... |
00:06:15 |
Carl Lee does not have a chance. |
00:06:18 |
Sorry. |
00:06:19 |
Sissy. |
00:06:22 |
He's got a good chance. |
00:06:24 |
There. You'll live. |
00:06:27 |
Thanks. |
00:06:29 |
Good butt. |
00:06:35 |
What do you do to blow off steam... |
00:06:38 |
...besides trying to kill each other? |
00:06:40 |
You got a disco... |
00:06:42 |
...strip bars... |
00:06:43 |
...or malls... |
00:06:45 |
...to go to? |
00:06:55 |
Stump's dead. |
00:07:00 |
He's dead. |
00:07:04 |
Come on. Let's go home. |
00:07:06 |
Its all over. |
00:07:10 |
It ain't near over. |
00:07:15 |
Ill be right back. |
00:07:16 |
Here are your mud bugs. |
00:07:18 |
Anything else? |
00:07:20 |
A couple of... |
00:07:21 |
...specials and some fried dill pickles. |
00:07:24 |
-You got it. |
00:07:27 |
That wasn't sexist. Really, |
00:07:31 |
I can't do another shot. |
00:07:32 |
Fine, Ill do another shot. |
00:07:34 |
Just a splash. |
00:07:39 |
To... |
00:07:42 |
Carl Lee. |
00:07:43 |
May a jury find that man |
00:07:45 |
Hear, hear. |
00:07:49 |
No more. |
00:07:52 |
So... |
00:07:55 |
...was he crazy when he did it? |
00:07:59 |
No, he wasn't crazy. |
00:08:01 |
He told me he'd do it. |
00:08:06 |
I tried to tell myself |
00:08:13 |
I think I really wanted him to do it. |
00:08:18 |
I came home that night and looked |
00:08:23 |
All I could think about was |
00:08:26 |
...and any one of them can |
00:08:32 |
Take her life, if they want. |
00:08:42 |
Yeah, I wanted those boys dead. |
00:08:52 |
I guess I helped kill them. |
00:08:58 |
So tomorrow, when we get in court... |
00:09:02 |
...it's not just Carl Lee |
00:09:23 |
Burn in hell, Brigance! |
00:09:37 |
Good job. |
00:09:42 |
How is it that you'll drive 1-1 /2 |
00:09:47 |
...you have no problem |
00:09:51 |
With everything that's going on... |
00:09:53 |
...we can't be too careful. |
00:09:55 |
Just want to make sure it's safe. |
00:09:58 |
Im not scared. |
00:09:59 |
Yes, I am. |
00:10:01 |
Of what? |
00:10:03 |
Of what's going to happen tomorrow. |
00:10:05 |
All the other cases Ive worked |
00:10:09 |
I never knew the towns... |
00:10:11 |
...and I never touched |
00:10:21 |
Tomorrow morning... |
00:10:23 |
...Buckley will try to |
00:10:27 |
Now it's on us to stop him. |
00:10:32 |
Go over the battle in your mind. |
00:10:34 |
Argument, rebuttal, examination |
00:10:39 |
Remember something: |
00:10:42 |
You are one of the good guys. |
00:10:46 |
And good guy has... |
00:10:48 |
...the spicy on her lip. |
00:11:05 |
Im going home. |
00:11:07 |
Lock the door behind you. |
00:11:23 |
Its going to blow! |
00:11:38 |
My dog's in there! |
00:11:55 |
Its too late. |
00:12:55 |
Hey, buddy. |
00:12:58 |
Seen my dog? |
00:12:59 |
Looking for my dog. |
00:13:01 |
Max, come here! |
00:13:03 |
Come on, Max! |
00:13:08 |
I booked you on the 9:15 to Gulf Port. |
00:13:12 |
Go see your wife and daughter. |
00:13:16 |
What'd you do that for? |
00:13:19 |
The trial's in less than 3 hours. |
00:13:21 |
Come on. |
00:13:22 |
Noose'd give you a continuance. |
00:13:24 |
The NAACP boys be down |
00:13:27 |
...drooling. |
00:13:29 |
Max, let's go, boy! Come on! |
00:13:33 |
Listen to me. |
00:13:35 |
Your marriage is troubled, |
00:13:38 |
Your career's in ruins, if you're lucky. |
00:13:43 |
Don't get me wrong. |
00:13:46 |
What you've put into this case, |
00:13:49 |
...and Im uninspirable. |
00:13:51 |
Do everyone a favor, though. |
00:13:58 |
No, I can't. |
00:14:00 |
I won't. Im not going to quit. |
00:14:04 |
I quit now, all this |
00:14:10 |
Max, come on now. Max, |
00:14:12 |
Max is dead, and you're next. |
00:14:16 |
Walk away. |
00:14:27 |
Max, come here. |
00:14:34 |
Who's got the goods? |
00:14:38 |
Pre-trial strategy at my |
00:14:41 |
...and I expect to see your ass there! |
00:14:45 |
Free Carl Lee! |
00:14:48 |
Free Carl Lee! |
00:15:02 |
Fry Carl Lee! |
00:15:04 |
Fry Carl Lee! |
00:15:31 |
Mr. Buckley... |
00:15:33 |
...you may begin. |
00:15:39 |
Good morning. |
00:15:43 |
You are Cora Mae Cobb, the mother |
00:15:48 |
Yes, sir. |
00:15:50 |
Where were you when he was murdered? |
00:15:52 |
Outside that door right there. |
00:15:56 |
Me and Freddie was |
00:15:59 |
He was walking up the stairs... |
00:16:01 |
...in handcuffs. |
00:16:03 |
Can you tell us how old your son |
00:16:08 |
23. |
00:16:10 |
Your son was 23 when he died? |
00:16:14 |
In those 23 years, Mrs. Cobb... |
00:16:17 |
...how many children did he kidnap? |
00:16:19 |
Objection, Your Honor! |
00:16:21 |
Sustained. |
00:16:22 |
You are out of order. |
00:16:25 |
Withdraw the question. |
00:16:26 |
The jury will disregard the last |
00:16:32 |
In your son's 23 years... |
00:16:34 |
...how many other children did he rape? |
00:16:37 |
In my chambers. |
00:16:39 |
Court will recess for lunch. |
00:16:43 |
Why antagonize the judge? He should've |
00:16:48 |
He knew. |
00:16:49 |
But he got to draw first blood, |
00:16:56 |
Come play on a winning team. |
00:16:57 |
How's that impotence thing? |
00:17:03 |
You're not being paid |
00:17:05 |
No, sir. |
00:17:08 |
Well, I guess Jake's |
00:17:12 |
Impotence. |
00:17:14 |
Yes. Girls talk. |
00:17:15 |
If you would, can you please |
00:17:20 |
The weapon found at the scene. |
00:17:22 |
You were able to identify the |
00:17:26 |
Yes, the prints on the gun |
00:17:29 |
You're sure? |
00:17:31 |
Yes. |
00:17:33 |
Id like to enter this into |
00:17:37 |
We have no further use of this witness. |
00:17:43 |
Sheriff Walls... |
00:17:46 |
...did you arrest Cobb and Willard? |
00:17:48 |
Yes, I did. |
00:17:50 |
I arrested them for the rape... |
00:17:52 |
...and attempted murder of |
00:17:56 |
Is it true that Pete Willard... |
00:17:58 |
...signed a confession... |
00:18:00 |
...saying that he and Billy |
00:18:04 |
Objection! That's inadmissible, |
00:18:07 |
Ive spoken to you before. |
00:18:09 |
We are not trying the rape |
00:18:12 |
...but the murder of two young men, and |
00:18:17 |
...Ill hold you in contempt. |
00:18:19 |
Is that understood? |
00:18:21 |
Yes, sir. |
00:18:24 |
I have no further questions. |
00:18:27 |
Yes. |
00:18:29 |
You say something? |
00:18:33 |
Yes, he did sign a confession. |
00:18:35 |
Objection! |
00:18:36 |
Jurors... |
00:18:38 |
...you will disregard the |
00:18:42 |
Court is adjourned till |
00:19:05 |
Im taking Bud back to Oxford. |
00:19:09 |
He always missed Oxford. |
00:19:27 |
I don't know what to say. |
00:19:30 |
There's nothing you can say. |
00:19:33 |
I know you didn't want |
00:19:37 |
...but it happened all the same. |
00:19:40 |
You wagered all our lives on this. |
00:19:44 |
You just went ahead and did what you |
00:19:50 |
Some folks think that's brave. |
00:19:54 |
Not me, Jake. |
00:19:57 |
Now, you may win... |
00:20:00 |
...but I think we've all lost here. |
00:20:09 |
Would you help an old lady to her car? |
00:20:11 |
You don't need any help, Ethel... |
00:20:14 |
...but it would be an honor to |
00:20:33 |
Didn't like that one? |
00:20:35 |
Buckley presents his shrink tomorrow |
00:20:40 |
I keep asking myself, What would |
00:20:45 |
Lucien? |
00:20:46 |
That's your problem right there. |
00:20:48 |
You must ask yourself, |
00:20:52 |
What would he do? |
00:20:54 |
Cheat. |
00:20:55 |
Cheat like crazy. |
00:21:12 |
We gotta talk about it. |
00:21:14 |
Wait. The judge said absolutely |
00:21:18 |
The judge ain't stuck here |
00:21:21 |
The sooner we start talking |
00:21:25 |
I want to get out of here |
00:21:27 |
Let's get on with it. |
00:21:31 |
Undecided? |
00:21:35 |
Four. |
00:21:37 |
Guilty? |
00:21:44 |
Seven. |
00:21:46 |
Not guilty? |
00:21:51 |
That nigger's dead. |
00:22:12 |
Folks can't get enough of the trial. |
00:22:14 |
That's why my editor said to come |
00:22:19 |
Dr. Rodeheaver's in court today. |
00:22:23 |
If you want to be a reporter... |
00:22:25 |
...maybe you should do |
00:22:29 |
You know what? I don't mind waiting. |
00:22:32 |
My paper really wants this interview. |
00:22:37 |
-Ill just go there. |
00:22:40 |
But he's gone all day. |
00:22:43 |
You want to come back in my office |
00:22:47 |
Ill come back another time... |
00:22:49 |
...when he's got time to talk, |
00:22:53 |
-Thank you. |
00:22:59 |
Your Honor, the State |
00:23:37 |
Good morning. |
00:23:39 |
Would you please state |
00:23:42 |
Deputy Dwayne Powell Looney. |
00:23:45 |
Thank you, Deputy Looney. |
00:23:47 |
Were you present at the murders of |
00:23:52 |
Yes, sir. |
00:23:54 |
If you can remember... |
00:23:56 |
...describe how you were wounded |
00:24:00 |
I think bullets bounced off the |
00:24:03 |
What happened to your leg? |
00:24:06 |
Doc cut it off. |
00:24:09 |
After the loss of your |
00:24:15 |
...are you able to serve as a policeman? |
00:24:25 |
Im able to perform a number of... |
00:24:28 |
Did you see the gunman? |
00:24:31 |
No, sir. |
00:24:33 |
But Mr. Hailey did... |
00:24:34 |
...personally apologize |
00:24:43 |
So Mr. Hailey admitted... |
00:24:45 |
...shooting you. |
00:24:46 |
Yes, sir. |
00:24:48 |
I have no further questions. |
00:24:50 |
No questions. |
00:24:52 |
Wait a minute. |
00:24:55 |
The State would like to call Dr.-- |
00:24:58 |
Can I have a moment? |
00:24:59 |
Take your time. |
00:25:02 |
Ask if he thinks I should go to jail. |
00:25:04 |
They amputated his leg |
00:25:08 |
He's the prosecution's witness. |
00:25:10 |
You're my lawyer? |
00:25:12 |
Ask him. |
00:25:20 |
One question. |
00:25:21 |
Make up your mind, Mr. Brigance. |
00:25:28 |
Deputy Looney... |
00:25:30 |
...do you think Carl Lee |
00:25:33 |
No, sir... |
00:25:35 |
...it was an accident. |
00:25:40 |
Ask him. |
00:25:48 |
Should he be punished for shooting you? |
00:25:52 |
No, sir. |
00:25:54 |
I hold no ill will toward the man. |
00:25:58 |
I would have done it. |
00:26:00 |
What do you mean by that? |
00:26:02 |
I don't blame him for what he did. |
00:26:04 |
Those boys raped his girl. |
00:26:06 |
Objection! The witness's opinion |
00:26:11 |
Your Honor... |
00:26:12 |
...I believe Deputy Looney has earned |
00:26:17 |
Overruled. |
00:26:20 |
Continue. |
00:26:24 |
Go ahead, Dwayne. |
00:26:26 |
I got a little girl. |
00:26:30 |
Somebody rapes her, he's a dead dog. |
00:26:33 |
Ill blow him away like Carl Lee did. |
00:26:35 |
Objection! |
00:26:37 |
Should the jury convict Carl Lee Hailey? |
00:26:39 |
Don't answer that question. |
00:26:41 |
He's a hero. You turn him loose. |
00:26:43 |
The jury will disregard-- |
00:26:46 |
Turn him loose! |
00:26:47 |
Silence that witness! |
00:26:49 |
Turn him loose! |
00:26:58 |
People can say whatever they |
00:27:02 |
Quiet! |
00:27:06 |
Any more of that nonsense... |
00:27:08 |
...and you're all out of here! |
00:27:12 |
Mr. Buckley, you may begin. |
00:27:15 |
Thank you, Your Honor. |
00:27:18 |
Please state your name and occupation |
00:27:22 |
My name is Dr. Wilbert Rodeheaver, |
00:27:26 |
...at Mississippi State... |
00:27:28 |
...and Director of the Whitfield |
00:27:33 |
Your credentials speak for themselves. |
00:27:36 |
Can you explain, as you do so |
00:27:41 |
...the McNaughton Rule for the jury? |
00:27:43 |
Certainly. |
00:27:44 |
The McNaughton Rule states... |
00:27:46 |
...a person must be unable |
00:27:50 |
...and/ or be unaware of the |
00:27:54 |
...to be termed legally insane. |
00:27:56 |
You examined Mr. Hailey? |
00:27:58 |
Yes, Mr. Hailey and I spoke about |
00:28:02 |
...his experiences during the war. |
00:28:05 |
And the rape of his daughter? |
00:28:06 |
Yes, we spoke at length about the |
00:28:12 |
What is your diagnosis of |
00:28:15 |
...on the day that he shot Billy |
00:28:20 |
At the time of the murders, his mental |
00:28:24 |
Mr. Hailey was sane. |
00:28:26 |
Wait a minute. The defense contends-- |
00:28:29 |
Mr. Brigance has gone to great |
00:28:32 |
...that Mr. Hailey is a nutball... |
00:28:35 |
...is a slow coach... |
00:28:37 |
...or... |
00:28:38 |
...what is the clinical definition? |
00:28:41 |
Insane. |
00:28:44 |
-Do you disagree? |
00:28:46 |
Carl Lee Hailey knew what he was doing. |
00:28:49 |
He slaughtered those men in cold blood. |
00:28:53 |
Thank you. |
00:28:54 |
I have no further questions. |
00:28:58 |
Where is Roark? |
00:29:00 |
I don't know. |
00:29:01 |
The cross-examination, |
00:29:04 |
We would request a recess until-- |
00:29:08 |
I must see you. |
00:29:10 |
We will not need a recess, |
00:29:21 |
When you and Lois Lane are ready.... |
00:29:28 |
Just a few questions. |
00:29:33 |
Who do you work for? |
00:29:35 |
The State of Mississippi. |
00:29:36 |
In 11 years of service... |
00:29:38 |
...how many trials did you testify |
00:29:41 |
This is my 46th trial. |
00:29:43 |
46th trial. |
00:29:45 |
Of those 46 trials... |
00:29:46 |
...how many times have you testified |
00:29:51 |
Objection! |
00:29:52 |
The doctor cannot be asked... |
00:29:53 |
...to recall all of his testimony |
00:29:57 |
Overruled. |
00:30:00 |
Thank you. |
00:30:02 |
I can't remember. |
00:30:04 |
Could the reason you |
00:30:06 |
...that in 1 1 years and 46 trials... |
00:30:09 |
...you never saw a defendant |
00:30:13 |
I can't recall at this time. |
00:30:16 |
Can you recall testifying |
00:30:19 |
Objection! This has nothing to |
00:30:22 |
Overruled. |
00:30:24 |
This better be good. |
00:30:26 |
Thank you. |
00:30:28 |
Ill ask again. |
00:30:30 |
Can you recall testifying |
00:30:33 |
Its a rather brutal double homicide |
00:30:39 |
A dissenting psychiatrist |
00:30:42 |
And Mr. Baker was found insane |
00:30:45 |
Where is he currently? |
00:30:47 |
At Whitfield. |
00:30:48 |
Who is the chief psychiatrist there? |
00:30:51 |
I am. |
00:30:52 |
You are. |
00:30:54 |
Dr. Rodeheaver is the |
00:30:57 |
Now help me make this clear to the jury. |
00:31:00 |
In 1985, you testified that Dan Baker... |
00:31:03 |
...was legally sane. |
00:31:05 |
The jury disagreed with you. |
00:31:07 |
And Mr. Baker was found not |
00:31:11 |
Since then he has been a patient in your |
00:31:15 |
Is that correct? |
00:31:18 |
Do you normally admit patients... |
00:31:20 |
...keep and treat them for 10 |
00:31:24 |
No. |
00:31:25 |
Then it would be fair to say... |
00:31:27 |
...that you find insane people |
00:31:31 |
Objection! Argumentative! |
00:31:34 |
Withdraw the question. |
00:31:43 |
Genius, Roark. |
00:32:02 |
How can you get a fair trial? |
00:32:11 |
Get an ambulance! |
00:32:26 |
Heard any news on the guard? |
00:32:29 |
Ozzie says he's probably paralyzed. |
00:32:35 |
Some stranger... |
00:32:38 |
...somebody's husband... |
00:32:40 |
...somebody's son... |
00:32:43 |
...put himself in harm's way... |
00:32:47 |
...for me. |
00:32:50 |
When I saw the blood... |
00:32:52 |
...I got so scared because |
00:33:04 |
Do you want me to stay? |
00:33:09 |
Yeah. |
00:33:12 |
I want you to stay. |
00:33:18 |
So you better go. |
00:33:43 |
Oh, shit. |
00:33:52 |
Speed limit's 45, not 70, ma'am. |
00:33:55 |
-Have you been drinking? |
00:33:58 |
Get out of the car for a minute. |
00:34:00 |
-Is that really necessary? |
00:34:04 |
Isn't it customary to ask |
00:34:09 |
Be still, bitch! |
00:34:18 |
Get in there! |
00:35:17 |
You can't blame a nigger |
00:35:20 |
...no more than you can |
00:35:25 |
But a whore like you... |
00:35:28 |
...co-mingling with mongrels, |
00:35:31 |
...that makes you worse than a nigger. |
00:35:34 |
Ill tell you what Ill do. |
00:35:37 |
Ill leave you tied up here naked. |
00:35:40 |
First it'll just be |
00:35:43 |
One day, maybe two. |
00:35:44 |
That sun's going to cook you. |
00:35:47 |
And animals... |
00:35:50 |
...they'll pick up your stink. |
00:35:55 |
They'll come for something to eat. |
00:35:59 |
Carl Lee Hailey should've shot you too. |
00:36:08 |
Come on, boys. Let's go. |
00:36:57 |
Its okay. |
00:37:13 |
Mr. Brigance, you may |
00:37:17 |
Yes, Your Honor. The defense calls |
00:37:26 |
Have you seen Roark? |
00:37:27 |
Not yet. |
00:37:33 |
Would you explain to the jury... |
00:37:36 |
...the effect his daughter's rape |
00:37:40 |
Tonya's rape caused a relapse... |
00:37:42 |
...a temporary break with reality. |
00:37:45 |
But yesterday, a Dr. Rodeheaver... |
00:37:48 |
...suggested that Mr. Hailey's |
00:37:51 |
...the definition of sanity. |
00:37:53 |
That's ridiculous. |
00:37:54 |
Many of the most famous |
00:37:58 |
John Hinckley, for example. |
00:38:00 |
Calculating. |
00:38:02 |
And legally insane. |
00:38:03 |
So, Dr. Bass, how would |
00:38:06 |
...at the time? |
00:38:08 |
Mr. Hailey experienced a recurrence |
00:38:12 |
...as a result of the trauma |
00:38:16 |
Now, since Mr. Hailey was unaware |
00:38:20 |
...he couldn't tell right from wrong. |
00:38:22 |
Nor could he understand the |
00:38:26 |
He was, therefore, legally insane. |
00:38:30 |
Couldn't tell right from wrong, |
00:38:35 |
Therefore, legally... |
00:38:37 |
...insane. |
00:38:38 |
Thank you, Dr. Bass. |
00:38:40 |
I have no further questions. |
00:38:48 |
Your witness. |
00:38:51 |
Im sorry, excuse me. |
00:38:55 |
Good morning. |
00:38:56 |
Good morning. |
00:38:57 |
Dr. Bass... |
00:38:58 |
...could you please state for |
00:39:02 |
Willard Tyrrel Bass. |
00:39:05 |
Tyrrel Bass. That's a very unique name. |
00:39:08 |
Now... |
00:39:09 |
...Doctor... |
00:39:11 |
...ever been convicted of a felony? |
00:39:13 |
Of course not. |
00:39:14 |
You're sure? |
00:39:17 |
As certain of that as you are of |
00:39:21 |
Of course. |
00:39:22 |
Let me understand this now... |
00:39:25 |
...since you are under oath. |
00:39:28 |
You're telling me, and this jury, |
00:39:32 |
...you weren't convicted |
00:39:35 |
Objection! |
00:39:38 |
Dr. Bass is not on trial. |
00:39:39 |
This goes to show the |
00:39:42 |
Overruled. |
00:39:43 |
Continue. |
00:39:45 |
Thank you. Now, Doctor... |
00:39:49 |
...were you convicted of statutory rape? |
00:39:51 |
You got the wrong man. |
00:39:53 |
Really? |
00:39:55 |
I have some interesting |
00:39:57 |
...with an underage female... |
00:39:59 |
...in a motel by the Dallas |
00:40:03 |
Would you like to look at these images |
00:40:11 |
I didn't think so. |
00:40:12 |
We would like to introduce |
00:40:16 |
...showing that on |
00:40:19 |
...this man, one Tyrrel Bass... |
00:40:22 |
...pled guilty... |
00:40:23 |
...to statutory rape. |
00:40:25 |
Now, Doctor, Im going to |
00:40:28 |
...were you or were you not |
00:40:33 |
I can explain-- |
00:40:34 |
Im not interested. |
00:40:36 |
Answer the question, yes or no. |
00:40:40 |
Yes, I was. |
00:40:47 |
That's enough. |
00:40:49 |
I have nothing further. |
00:40:55 |
Redirect, Mr. Brigance? |
00:40:59 |
None. |
00:41:00 |
Court'll recess one hour for lunch. |
00:41:03 |
You told me he was a credible witness. |
00:41:06 |
I didn't know. |
00:41:08 |
Buckley really outdid himself. |
00:41:11 |
Lucien, I was counting on you. |
00:41:14 |
You wanted this case. |
00:41:15 |
You got it. |
00:41:16 |
It isn't easy saving the world, |
00:41:20 |
You might have a knack for it. |
00:41:23 |
What are you talking about, |
00:41:26 |
Hero, my ass! |
00:41:28 |
Did the world need me beating |
00:41:31 |
I was needed here, in that courtroom. |
00:41:35 |
I let them push me. |
00:41:37 |
I gave them an excuse to kick me out... |
00:41:39 |
...and now I can never |
00:41:42 |
But you can. |
00:41:43 |
You're an attorney. |
00:41:45 |
Be proud. |
00:41:46 |
Your job is to find justice, no |
00:41:52 |
So you go in there... |
00:41:54 |
...and do your job. |
00:41:57 |
Hurry up. |
00:41:58 |
They'll start without you. |
00:42:04 |
Come with me. |
00:42:07 |
I can't. |
00:42:10 |
I love you... |
00:42:12 |
...but I can't. |
00:42:14 |
You know that. |
00:42:15 |
Ill never go in a courtroom again. |
00:42:18 |
And I can't be you. |
00:42:21 |
Don't be me. |
00:42:23 |
Be better than me. |
00:42:41 |
And how did you feel? |
00:42:43 |
I felt... |
00:42:48 |
I don't know... |
00:42:52 |
It was like I was outside myself... |
00:42:54 |
...watching myself. |
00:42:57 |
All the while I kept |
00:43:02 |
...I called for you, Daddy. |
00:43:04 |
When them men was hurting me... |
00:43:07 |
...I called for you over and over but... |
00:43:11 |
...you didn't never come. |
00:43:19 |
Thank you, Mr. Hailey. |
00:43:22 |
I have no further questions. |
00:43:26 |
You have an emergency call. |
00:43:36 |
Mr. Hailey... |
00:43:39 |
Before you stepped outside yourself to |
00:43:44 |
...were you aware that if convicted |
00:43:49 |
Yes, I heard people say that. |
00:43:51 |
Should men who kidnap a |
00:43:54 |
No, sir. |
00:43:55 |
Should men who rape a child be free? |
00:43:57 |
No, sir. |
00:43:58 |
Should men who hang a child be free? |
00:44:01 |
No, sir. |
00:44:02 |
What do you think should |
00:44:04 |
Objection! |
00:44:05 |
Do you think they deserve to die?! |
00:44:07 |
Don't answer! |
00:44:09 |
Yes, they deserved to die |
00:44:27 |
I have nothing further. |
00:44:33 |
Summations begin tomorrow. |
00:44:37 |
Court adjourned. |
00:44:47 |
They found Roark. |
00:45:20 |
So... |
00:45:23 |
...I had to do this to |
00:45:28 |
Im so sorry. |
00:45:30 |
This is all my fault. |
00:45:33 |
Don't sweat it, really. |
00:45:36 |
They didn't hurt anything |
00:45:39 |
Nothing. |
00:45:42 |
Besides... |
00:45:44 |
...Doctor... |
00:45:46 |
...what's-his-name said |
00:45:49 |
Im fine. |
00:45:54 |
How did we do? |
00:45:57 |
Bass turned out to be a felon. |
00:46:01 |
Carl Lee got trapped on the stand. |
00:46:07 |
People been terrorized, Roark. |
00:46:10 |
Beaten... |
00:46:13 |
...killed. |
00:46:16 |
Its not worth it. |
00:46:20 |
Its only not worth it if Carl |
00:46:27 |
Listen, this case is not |
00:46:31 |
Remember that. |
00:46:35 |
And you've got one big fat chance... |
00:46:40 |
...to reinvent yourself. |
00:46:42 |
To make that jury see... |
00:46:44 |
...this whole case through your eyes. |
00:46:54 |
They're good eyes. |
00:47:00 |
Now, get out of here, go to work. |
00:47:04 |
Ill keep in touch. |
00:47:06 |
No, you won't. |
00:47:08 |
Big liar. |
00:47:18 |
Win or lose, Roark... |
00:47:22 |
...we make one hell of a team. |
00:47:25 |
We might have. |
00:47:28 |
We really might have. |
00:47:35 |
You really want to kiss me right now. |
00:47:39 |
Yes, I do. |
00:48:02 |
Undecided? |
00:48:06 |
Guilty? |
00:48:44 |
Hey, Max. |
00:48:53 |
Where's Hannah? |
00:48:55 |
I left her at my parents'. |
00:48:59 |
How'd you get here? |
00:49:00 |
Drove. |
00:49:03 |
In the storm? |
00:49:06 |
Got something needs |
00:49:14 |
Ive been blaming you |
00:49:20 |
But it's not your fault. |
00:49:28 |
You were trying to make things right. |
00:49:32 |
I know that now. |
00:49:39 |
I thought you took this case |
00:49:43 |
...what a big time lawyer you were. |
00:49:46 |
But I was wrong. |
00:49:51 |
You took this case because... |
00:49:54 |
...if those boys... |
00:49:59 |
...had hurt Hannah... |
00:50:01 |
...the way they hurt Tonya... |
00:50:03 |
...you would've killed them too. |
00:50:12 |
Baby. Come here. |
00:50:15 |
Come here. |
00:50:19 |
I love you Jake. |
00:50:22 |
I thought I was going to lose you. |
00:50:48 |
We're going to lose this case. |
00:50:53 |
There are no points of law to argue here. |
00:50:59 |
Maybe Buckley'll cop us a... |
00:51:02 |
...second-degree murder and we |
00:51:07 |
I can't do no life in prison. |
00:51:10 |
Get me out. If it was you on trial-- |
00:51:13 |
Its not me. |
00:51:15 |
We're not the same. |
00:51:19 |
The jury has to identify |
00:51:23 |
They see you, they see a yardworker. |
00:51:25 |
...they see an attorney. |
00:51:28 |
With you white and Im black. |
00:51:33 |
See, Jake? |
00:51:36 |
You think just like them. |
00:51:39 |
That's why I picked you. |
00:51:42 |
You're one of them, don't you see? |
00:51:45 |
You think you ain't because |
00:51:47 |
...and you're on TV talking about |
00:51:52 |
But the fact is... |
00:51:54 |
...you're just like them. |
00:51:57 |
When you look at me, |
00:52:00 |
You see a black man. |
00:52:04 |
I am your friend. |
00:52:06 |
We ain't no friends. |
00:52:09 |
We're on different sides of the line. |
00:52:12 |
I ain't never seen you in my part of |
00:52:18 |
Our daughters... |
00:52:19 |
...won't play together. |
00:52:21 |
What do you mean? |
00:52:25 |
America... |
00:52:27 |
...is a war... |
00:52:28 |
...and you're on the other side. |
00:52:32 |
How a black man ever going |
00:52:35 |
...with the enemy on the |
00:52:38 |
My life in white hands. |
00:52:42 |
You, Jake. |
00:52:43 |
That's how. |
00:52:45 |
You're my secret weapon, because |
00:52:50 |
You don't mean to be, but you are. |
00:52:53 |
Its how you's raised. |
00:52:55 |
Nigger, Negro, black... |
00:52:58 |
...African-American. |
00:52:59 |
No matter how you see me... |
00:53:01 |
...you see me as different. |
00:53:04 |
You see me like that jury sees me. |
00:53:08 |
You are them. |
00:53:10 |
Now, throw out your points of law, Jake. |
00:53:14 |
If you... |
00:53:15 |
...was on that jury... |
00:53:18 |
...what would it take to convince you... |
00:53:21 |
...to set me free? |
00:53:25 |
That's how you'll save my ass. |
00:53:28 |
That's how you save us both. |
00:53:35 |
Is Carl Lee Hailey insane? |
00:53:39 |
Its a notion so outrageous... |
00:53:42 |
...the only witness the defense |
00:53:46 |
...was a convicted felon. |
00:53:50 |
He is not insane. |
00:53:52 |
This is a man who is |
00:53:56 |
This is a man who admitted... |
00:53:58 |
...on this stand... |
00:54:01 |
...to carrying out the sentence |
00:54:04 |
...of his daughter deserved! |
00:54:06 |
He's taken justice out of your hands! |
00:54:11 |
And put it in his own. |
00:54:13 |
And with those hands... |
00:54:15 |
...he took the lives of two young men! |
00:54:21 |
We feel terrible over what |
00:54:24 |
But feeling terrible... |
00:54:26 |
...and knowing something is |
00:54:31 |
...a right to kill. |
00:54:34 |
Everyone, your duty is clear. |
00:54:39 |
All in this courtroom know the truth. |
00:54:42 |
All in this state know the truth. |
00:54:46 |
Now you need only find the courage... |
00:54:48 |
...to speak the words: |
00:54:50 |
Carl Lee Hailey... |
00:54:53 |
...is guilty! |
00:54:55 |
Guilty! |
00:54:57 |
Guilty! |
00:55:00 |
State rests, Your Honor. |
00:55:17 |
Now, I had a great |
00:55:21 |
...full of some sharp lawyering... |
00:55:25 |
...but Im not doing it. |
00:55:27 |
Im here to apologize. |
00:55:29 |
I am young, and I am inexperienced. |
00:55:33 |
But you cannot... |
00:55:34 |
...hold Carl Lee Hailey responsible... |
00:55:38 |
...for my shortcomings. |
00:55:41 |
In all this legal maneuvering... |
00:55:44 |
...something got lost. |
00:55:46 |
That something is the truth. |
00:55:52 |
It is incumbent upon us lawyers... |
00:55:55 |
...not to just talk about the truth... |
00:55:57 |
...but to actually seek it... |
00:55:59 |
...to find it, to live it. |
00:56:02 |
My teacher taught me that. |
00:56:06 |
Let's take Dr. Bass, for example. |
00:56:08 |
I would never knowingly put a |
00:56:12 |
I hope you believe that. |
00:56:14 |
But what is the truth? |
00:56:15 |
That he's a disgraced liar? |
00:56:18 |
What if I told you... |
00:56:20 |
...the woman he was accused of |
00:56:23 |
...that she became his wife... |
00:56:25 |
...bore his child... |
00:56:27 |
...and is still married to him? |
00:56:29 |
Does that make his |
00:56:36 |
What in us seeks truth? |
00:56:39 |
Our minds... |
00:56:42 |
...or is it our hearts? |
00:56:47 |
I tried to prove blacks could |
00:56:51 |
...that we are all equal |
00:56:55 |
That's not the truth. |
00:56:57 |
The eyes of the law are human eyes... |
00:56:59 |
...yours and mine, and until we |
00:57:03 |
...justice is never |
00:57:06 |
It will only be a reflection |
00:57:10 |
So until that day... |
00:57:12 |
...we have a duty under |
00:57:17 |
...not with our minds... |
00:57:19 |
...where fear and hate turn |
00:57:23 |
...but with our hearts... |
00:57:25 |
...but we don't know better. |
00:57:32 |
I want to tell you a story. |
00:57:36 |
Please close your eyes... |
00:57:40 |
...while I tell it. |
00:57:45 |
I want you to listen to me. |
00:57:53 |
Go ahead. |
00:57:54 |
Close your eyes, please. |
00:58:00 |
This is a story about a little girl... |
00:58:04 |
...walking home from the grocery |
00:58:09 |
I want you to picture this girl. |
00:58:14 |
Suddenly a truck races up. |
00:58:18 |
Two men grab her. |
00:58:22 |
They drag her into a nearby field... |
00:58:28 |
...and they tie her up... |
00:58:33 |
...then rip off her clothes. |
00:58:38 |
They climb on. |
00:58:41 |
First one, then the other... |
00:58:45 |
...raping her... |
00:58:51 |
...shattering everything |
00:58:53 |
...with a vicious thrust... |
00:58:56 |
...in a fog of drunken breath and sweat. |
00:59:03 |
And when they're done... |
00:59:06 |
...after they've... |
00:59:08 |
...killed her tiny womb... |
00:59:11 |
...murdered any chance for |
00:59:14 |
...to have life... |
00:59:16 |
...beyond her own... |
00:59:21 |
...they use her for target practice. |
00:59:25 |
So they start throwing |
00:59:30 |
They throw them so hard... |
00:59:33 |
...that it tears the flesh |
00:59:42 |
Then they urinate on her. |
00:59:48 |
Now comes the hanging. |
00:59:55 |
They have a rope. |
00:59:57 |
They tie a noose. |
01:00:01 |
Imagine the noose coiling |
01:00:04 |
...and a sudden blinding jerk. |
01:00:08 |
She's pulled into the air |
01:00:11 |
They don't find the ground. |
01:00:15 |
The hanging branch... |
01:00:17 |
...isn't strong enough. |
01:00:20 |
It snaps and she falls... |
01:00:23 |
...back to earth. |
01:00:28 |
So they pick her up... |
01:00:31 |
...throw her in the back... |
01:00:35 |
...drive to Foggy Creek Bridge... |
01:00:39 |
...pitch her over. |
01:00:43 |
And she drops some 30 feet... |
01:00:46 |
...down to the creek bottom. |
01:00:55 |
Can you see her? |
01:01:01 |
Her raped... |
01:01:02 |
...beaten... |
01:01:04 |
...broken body... |
01:01:09 |
...soaked in their urine... |
01:01:12 |
...soaked in their semen... |
01:01:16 |
...soaked in her blood... |
01:01:19 |
...left to die. |
01:01:24 |
Can you see her? |
01:01:29 |
I want you to picture... |
01:01:33 |
...that little girl.... |
01:01:53 |
Now, imagine she's white. |
01:02:16 |
The defense rests. |
01:02:47 |
Innocent! |
01:02:48 |
Innocent! He's innocent! |
01:02:54 |
Innocent?! |
01:03:10 |
We won! We won! |
01:03:12 |
Ellen, we won! Aren't you happy?! |
01:03:15 |
My God, Ellen, you have to be happy! |
01:03:21 |
He's coming home. |
01:03:25 |
That was... |
01:03:28 |
That was... |
01:03:30 |
Im one of the bad guys, remember? |
01:03:48 |

01:03:53 |
We got something to talk about. |
01:03:55 |
