"Young man, I cannot promise you riches.

is a chance to save the world...

-Yes, sir.

Uh, Mr. Hailey, I am holding
a copy of an indictment returned...

00:33:11.239 --> 00:33:14.742
...by the grand jury of Mississippi
presenting that:

00:33:14.910 --> 00:33:19.622
"Carl Lee Hailey did murder Billy Ray Cobb,
a human being...

00:33:19.790 --> 00:33:22.625
...and James Lewis Willard,
a human being...

...and did attempt to kill Dwayne Looney,
a peace officer...

00:33:27.005 --> 00:33:30.049
...against the peace and dignity
of the state of Mississippi."

-Yes, sir.
-How do you wish to plead?

Not guilty, Your Honor.

00:33:41.061 --> 00:33:44.480
The defense enters a plea of not guilty
by reason of insanity, Your Honor.

00:33:44.648 --> 00:33:46.649
Your trial is set for July 22.

00:33:46.817 --> 00:33:51.112
All pretrial motions and matters
should be filed no later than July 8.

-Is there anything further?
RUFUS: Yes.

00:33:52.906 --> 00:33:55.032
Your Honor,
in response to the insanity plea...

00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:58.285
...the state requests the defendant
be examined by its own doctors.

00:33:58.453 --> 00:33:59.453
Request granted.

00:33:59.621 --> 00:34:02.748
Additionally,
the state opposes any request for bail.

00:34:02.916 --> 00:34:04.834
Your Honor,
we haven't yet asked for bail.

00:34:05.001 --> 00:34:07.962
Now, Governor Buckley cannot oppose
a request until one is made.

00:34:08.130 --> 00:34:10.005
He should've learned that in law school.

00:34:10.173 --> 00:34:13.759
Your Honor, even Mr. Brigance's
meager legal experience...

00:34:13.927 --> 00:34:18.097
...should've taught him two things.
One, I have not been elected governor yet.

00:34:18.265 --> 00:34:21.142
And number two,
he is required to request bail.

00:34:21.309 --> 00:34:22.935
The state opposes any such request.

till he makes the request, huh?

You're trying one of the largest

...these parts have seen
and you work alone.

You have no paralegals,
no clerks, researchers...

that motion under your arm...

you had a responsibility.

00:52:10.419 --> 00:52:12.378
Carl Lee chose you.

00:52:12.546 --> 00:52:15.715
He told you what he was thinking.

00:52:15.883 --> 00:52:18.301
He told me what he was thinking,
but I didn't know--

00:52:18.469 --> 00:52:22.764
Jake Tyler Brigance,
we agreed, you were gonna call the sheriff.

00:52:22.932 --> 00:52:25.350
Now look at everything
that has happened.

00:52:26.060 --> 00:52:29.896
I am sorry to tell you this, darling,
but those two boys are in the ground...

00:52:30.064 --> 00:52:33.066
...and you were in a position
to prevent every bit of this.

00:52:33.234 --> 00:52:34.484
HANNAH:
Mama?

00:52:35.945 --> 00:52:37.487
Are you and Daddy fighting?

00:52:39.031 --> 00:52:42.742
No, baby. Come here.
Come here, baby. Come here.

00:52:43.702 --> 00:52:47.288
Mommy's just upset because
some silly man played a real bad joke, okay?

00:52:47.456 --> 00:52:49.415
There's nothing to worry about.

00:52:49.834 --> 00:52:52.877
Nothing at all, okay?

00:52:58.509 --> 00:53:00.510
What that Memphis doctor say about her?

00:53:01.762 --> 00:53:03.388
She's doing good.

00:53:04.390 --> 00:53:05.932
Her jaw is healing.

00:53:06.100 --> 00:53:09.811
She can't run and jump yet,
but it won't be long.

00:53:11.105 --> 00:53:12.772
How about the other?

00:53:20.823 --> 00:53:23.658
There was too much damage.

00:53:24.827 --> 00:53:26.661
She ain't gonna never have kids.

00:53:35.129 --> 00:53:37.463
You know, I think about them two boys.

00:53:37.631 --> 00:53:39.215
Dead, buried...

00:53:39.383 --> 00:53:41.843
...probably starting to rot.

00:53:42.469 --> 00:53:45.305
And I remember them walking in court...

00:53:45.472 --> 00:53:47.390
...one proud, the other scared.

00:53:49.018 --> 00:53:51.102
I remember how they fell.

00:53:51.270 --> 00:53:56.316
One on top of the other, and screaming
and squirming and not going nowhere.

00:53:58.193 --> 00:54:00.862
God help me, Gwen, but...

00:54:02.573 --> 00:54:04.866
...that's the only thought
gives me comfort.

00:54:08.203 --> 00:54:11.289
They took up a collection for us
at church Sunday night.

00:54:12.041 --> 00:54:14.375
Some kind of defense fund.

00:54:15.127 --> 00:54:17.712
Reverend Agee gave a good service.

00:54:21.008 --> 00:54:27.347
We need some money around the house,
Carl Lee, for groceries and bills.

00:54:27.514 --> 00:54:28.806
How much you got?

[SIGHS]

00:54:30.517 --> 00:54:31.684
Less than 50.

00:54:33.687 --> 00:54:35.146
I'll think of something.

00:54:38.776 --> 00:54:42.695
How you think you going to get
some money while you stuck here in jail?

00:54:42.863 --> 00:54:44.489
Trust me, Gwen.

00:54:49.662 --> 00:54:51.454
I just get scared.

00:54:53.374 --> 00:54:55.041
Look here.

00:54:55.376 --> 00:55:01.172
Tell me exactly what Reverend Agee said
when he passed around the collection plate.

00:55:01.340 --> 00:55:04.550
I don't care.
We are dealing with life and death here.

-I'm gonna have to talk to my supervisor.
-Well, you go talk. Get out of here.

JAKE: Morning, John.
How are things at the electric company?

00:55:11.767 --> 00:55:15.687
The electric company. That is the second
time this week I've had to hold him off.

00:55:15.854 --> 00:55:17.689
-How much do we owe?
-Two thousand dollars.

00:55:17.856 --> 00:55:20.817
-How much do we have?
-One hundred dollars.

00:55:20.985 --> 00:55:24.112
Now, look, this week nothing,
nothing has come in at all. Look.

00:55:24.279 --> 00:55:27.198
What about Buck Britt's retainer?
There's 2 grand.

00:55:27.366 --> 00:55:30.576
-That check bounced.
-What do you mean, bounced?

00:55:30.744 --> 00:55:32.495
It bounced, Jake.

00:55:32.663 --> 00:55:35.248
It's been sitting on your desk for a week.

00:55:35.416 --> 00:55:37.458
Not that you'd notice.

00:55:39.169 --> 00:55:42.672
Since you took this case, you--
You stopped talking to your clients...

00:55:42.840 --> 00:55:44.632
...you don't take your calls, you--

00:55:44.800 --> 00:55:48.678
You're obsessed. That's what you are.
You're obsessed, Jake.

00:55:49.179 --> 00:55:52.265
-Boy, your obsession is going to break us.
-Hey, hey, hey.

00:55:52.433 --> 00:55:55.101
What's wrong, girl?
We've been through hard times before.

00:55:55.269 --> 00:55:57.186
Oh, not like this, Jake.

00:55:57.354 --> 00:55:59.439
Not like this.

00:56:00.357 --> 00:56:02.358
We've been getting calls.

00:56:02.526 --> 00:56:03.693
At home.

00:56:03.861 --> 00:56:05.069
Threats.

00:56:06.447 --> 00:56:10.742
You know Bud has survived two strokes.
I don't think he would survive a third.

00:56:10.909 --> 00:56:12.118
Why didn't you tell me?

00:56:13.579 --> 00:56:15.455
Why, Jake?

00:56:15.622 --> 00:56:16.998
Would you drop the case?

00:56:18.042 --> 00:56:20.043
[PHONE RINGS]

00:56:22.838 --> 00:56:24.047
Jake Brigance's office.

00:56:24.214 --> 00:56:26.799
Until they cut the phones off.

00:56:27.634 --> 00:56:29.093
Oh, right.

00:56:29.845 --> 00:56:31.054
Okay.

00:56:31.221 --> 00:56:34.098
Right. That was Sheriff Walls.

00:56:34.266 --> 00:56:36.225
You better get down to that jail.

00:56:43.650 --> 00:56:45.818
What's going on here, Carl Lee?

00:56:45.986 --> 00:56:48.071
-I'm Isaiah Street.
-Jake Brigance.

00:56:48.238 --> 00:56:50.406
ISAIAH:
Uh-huh. Uh....

00:56:50.574 --> 00:56:52.658
-I believe you know Reverend Agee.
-Jake.

00:56:52.826 --> 00:56:54.994
-And this is--
-Norman Reinfield.

00:56:55.162 --> 00:56:57.413
I've seen your picture in the paper.

00:56:58.290 --> 00:57:01.000
I assume these boys carry your briefcase.

00:57:01.168 --> 00:57:03.836
Just a small part
of my legal defense team.

00:57:04.004 --> 00:57:05.379
Pleasure, Mr. Brigance.

00:57:05.547 --> 00:57:06.672
JAKE:
Mm-hm.

00:57:06.840 --> 00:57:09.217
If this is a party, boys,
where's the chips and beer?

00:57:09.676 --> 00:57:13.888
Otherwise, you being here seems a bit
like illegal client solicitation.

00:57:14.056 --> 00:57:16.182
With Carl Lee already
having a lawyer and all.

00:57:16.350 --> 00:57:18.101
Well, now, just a minute, Jake.

00:57:18.268 --> 00:57:20.269
Carl Lee invited us here.

00:57:22.481 --> 00:57:24.357
ISAIAH:
Mr. Brigance...

00:57:24.525 --> 00:57:26.818
...let me be frank.

00:57:26.985 --> 00:57:30.363
Mr. Hailey's case
has far-reaching ramifications.

00:57:30.864 --> 00:57:33.199
Carl Lee's acquittal
for the killings of two white men...

00:57:33.367 --> 00:57:35.701
...would do more
for black people in Mississippi...

00:57:35.869 --> 00:57:39.247
...than any event since
we integrated the schools.

00:57:39.414 --> 00:57:42.583
His conviction, on the other hand,
will be a slap at us.

00:57:42.751 --> 00:57:44.877
A symbol of deep-seated racism.

00:57:45.045 --> 00:57:47.296
Perhaps enough to ignite a nation.

00:57:47.714 --> 00:57:49.882
See how important this case is?

00:57:50.050 --> 00:57:52.593
Enter Mr. Reinfield's death squad, right?

00:57:52.761 --> 00:57:56.639
It's an unfortunate nickname,
but apropos.

00:57:56.807 --> 00:58:00.226
My lawyers and I handle
only capital-murder cases, Mr. Hailey.

00:58:00.394 --> 00:58:03.729
Yeah, and of all your cases, Norman,
how many are supposed to be lost...

00:58:03.897 --> 00:58:06.524
-...so you can martyr the victim?
-Now, Mr. Brigance.

00:58:06.692 --> 00:58:11.571
How much a defense like that cost?

00:58:12.614 --> 00:58:14.157
Yeah.

00:58:15.033 --> 00:58:16.617
Would you say about 100,000?

00:58:16.785 --> 00:58:20.830
We are prepared to accept
7000 in litigation expenses.

00:58:20.998 --> 00:58:24.750
Well, Carl Lee doesn't have $7000.

00:58:24.918 --> 00:58:25.960
Do you, Carl Lee?

00:58:26.503 --> 00:58:32.091
The NAACP has raised $5000
for Carl Lee's legal defense fund.

00:58:32.259 --> 00:58:35.428
And we raised an additional
$2000 from the local churches.

00:58:35.596 --> 00:58:37.263
CARL LEE:
Let me ask you something, Reverend.

00:58:37.681 --> 00:58:40.641
How much of that cash
you offer my wife and kids?

00:58:40.809 --> 00:58:44.896
Well, that money is to go to pay
for lawyers' fees and stuff like that.

00:58:45.063 --> 00:58:47.190
That ain't what you told the church,
now, is it?

00:58:47.983 --> 00:58:49.859
You almost cried when you told them...

00:58:50.027 --> 00:58:54.238
...how my family might starve if they
didn't donate all they could, didn't you?

00:58:54.948 --> 00:58:57.658
Well, the money is for you
and your family, Carl Lee...

00:58:57.826 --> 00:59:00.786
...but we thought it'd be better spent
on your legal defense.

00:59:00.954 --> 00:59:03.623
Well, speaking of that defense fund...

00:59:03.790 --> 00:59:06.292
...can I use that for any lawyer I want?

00:59:06.460 --> 00:59:09.295
Well, it's not that simple, Carl Lee.

00:59:09.463 --> 00:59:12.340
Actually, it is that simple, Carl Lee.

00:59:12.507 --> 00:59:17.220
Unless the NAACP wants to go on record
as soliciting funds under false pretenses.

00:59:17.387 --> 00:59:20.598
ISAIAH:
Listen, Carl Lee, we raised that money...

00:59:20.766 --> 00:59:23.809
...for these men to get you out of here,
not for this cracker to--

00:59:23.977 --> 00:59:27.855
Now, hey, hey, hey.
Hold on. Hold on right there, now.

00:59:28.315 --> 00:59:31.901
Let me just get this straight here,
Reverend.

00:59:34.488 --> 00:59:37.907
If you don't give my wife that cash...

00:59:38.075 --> 00:59:41.953
...I'm gonna see to it everybody in this
town knows you're a lying crook.

00:59:42.621 --> 00:59:45.164
I'm sure your congregation
will be interested to know...

...Gwen and the kids can't eat
because you want in with the NAACP.

00:59:48.710 --> 00:59:51.963
That's right.
By the time I get through with you...

00:59:52.130 --> 00:59:56.008
...you won't be able to collect 2 cents
in that collection plate on Sunday.

00:59:56.176 --> 01:00:00.346
We'll expect the check for the Hailey family
this afternoon, Reverend Agee.

01:00:01.306 --> 01:00:04.684
Reverend Street,
I sure do appreciate your fine work...

01:00:04.851 --> 01:00:07.061
...but I'm gonna take my chances
with Jake here.

01:00:09.231 --> 01:00:11.482
Thanks for coming down, Mr. Reinfield.

01:00:12.317 --> 01:00:15.820
Uh, and we'll be expecting that check
for Jake's legal services...

01:00:15.988 --> 01:00:17.989
...around the same time this afternoon.

01:00:22.119 --> 01:00:23.828

Couldn't have did it without you, Jake.

01:00:48.645 --> 01:00:50.521

-Looking forward to it.
-Okay.

Um, well,

In all murder trials, it seems the insanity
plea only makes up 1 percent overall.

And of the 1 percent of that
that resulted in acquittal...

-Now, who else would she be?
-So she would be me.

She is saying that
if I take this plea to trial...

...the verdict is going to hinge on whose
shrink the jury finds more credible.

She would be correct.

She would.

Is it our minds?

02:15:01.385 --> 02:15:02.886
Or is it our hearts?

02:15:06.766 --> 02:15:10.143
I set out to prove a black man
could receive a fair trial in the South...

02:15:10.311 --> 02:15:13.480
...that we are all equal
in the eyes of the law.

02:15:15.191 --> 02:15:16.775
That's not the truth.

02:15:16.942 --> 02:15:19.194
Because the eyes of the law
are human eyes...

02:15:19.361 --> 02:15:23.323
...yours and mine,
and until we can see each other as equals...

02:15:23.491 --> 02:15:25.825
...justice is never going to be
evenhanded.

02:15:25.993 --> 02:15:29.829
It will remain nothing more than
a reflection of our own prejudices.

02:15:30.122 --> 02:15:32.540
So until that day...

02:15:32.708 --> 02:15:35.960
...we have a duty under God
to seek the truth...

02:15:37.838 --> 02:15:39.964
...not with our eyes,
and not with our minds...

02:15:40.132 --> 02:15:43.718
...where fear and hate turn
commonality into prejudice...

02:15:43.886 --> 02:15:46.095
...but with our hearts...

02:15:46.388 --> 02:15:48.723
...where we don't know better.

02:15:53.062 --> 02:15:55.480
I wanna tell you a story.

02:15:57.233 --> 02:15:59.943
And I ask you all to close your eyes...

02:16:01.570 --> 02:16:03.822
...while I tell you this story.

02:16:07.284 --> 02:16:11.162
I want you to listen to me.
I want you to listen to yourselves.

02:16:15.209 --> 02:16:18.127
Go ahead. Close your eyes, please.

02:16:23.300 --> 02:16:26.094
This is a story about a little girl...

02:16:27.012 --> 02:16:30.765
...walking home from the grocery store
one sunny afternoon.

02:16:32.101 --> 02:16:34.185
I want you to picture this little girl.

02:16:37.606 --> 02:16:40.024
Suddenly, a truck races up.

02:16:41.777 --> 02:16:43.361
Two men jump out and grab her.

02:16:45.990 --> 02:16:49.117
Drag her into a nearby field...

02:16:51.996 --> 02:16:53.371
...and they tie her up.

02:16:57.251 --> 02:16:59.252
And they rip her clothes from her body.

02:17:02.089 --> 02:17:04.382
Now they climb on.

02:17:05.259 --> 02:17:07.468
First one, then the other.

02:17:09.471 --> 02:17:10.555
Raping her.

02:17:15.519 --> 02:17:20.481
Shattering everything innocent and pure
with a vicious thrust...

02:17:21.483 --> 02:17:24.861
...in a fog of drunken breath and sweat.

02:17:28.782 --> 02:17:30.700
And when they're done...

02:17:31.827 --> 02:17:34.913
...after they've killed her tiny womb...

02:17:37.082 --> 02:17:40.376
...murdered any chance
for her to bear children...

02:17:40.544 --> 02:17:43.212
...to have life beyond her own...

02:17:46.675 --> 02:17:48.801
...they decide to use her
for target practice.

02:17:51.680 --> 02:17:54.849
So they start throwing
full beer cans at her.

02:17:56.852 --> 02:17:59.187
They throw them so hard...

02:17:59.855 --> 02:18:03.316
...that it tears the flesh
all the way to her bones.

02:18:09.490 --> 02:18:11.115
Then they urinate on her.

02:18:15.871 --> 02:18:17.246
Now comes the hanging.

02:18:22.419 --> 02:18:24.253
They have a rope.

02:18:25.547 --> 02:18:27.382
They tie a noose.

02:18:28.550 --> 02:18:31.886
Imagine the noose coiling
tight around her neck...

02:18:32.429 --> 02:18:35.056
...and a sudden blinding jerk.

02:18:36.141 --> 02:18:39.018
She's pulled into the air
and her feet and legs go kicking....

02:18:39.186 --> 02:18:40.937
They don't find the ground.

02:18:43.107 --> 02:18:44.983
The hanging branch...

02:18:45.150 --> 02:18:47.110
...isn't strong enough.

02:18:48.779 --> 02:18:51.406
It snaps and she falls...

02:18:51.782 --> 02:18:53.116
...back to the earth.

02:18:57.121 --> 02:18:59.122
So they pick her up...

02:19:00.249 --> 02:19:02.583
...throw her in the back of the truck...

02:19:04.420 --> 02:19:07.588
...drive out to Foggy Creek Bridge...

02:19:08.424 --> 02:19:09.799
...pitch her over the edge.

02:19:13.012 --> 02:19:17.890
And she drops some 30 feet
down to the creek bottom below.

02:19:25.399 --> 02:19:27.275
Can you see her?

02:19:31.071 --> 02:19:32.739
