JAKE: All right, Lucien. Where the hell is this guy?

Damn. Lucien, I was counting on you.

You're not? Absolutely not.

What you need...

If a pretty girl like you wants to be a reporter...

It snaps and she falls...

Worked 20 years, I'm out five days and they fired me.

Turn him loose! Turn him loose!

Yes he deserved to get hit and I hope he smells the onions and mustard

-You're not? -Mm-mm.

Lord have mercy, Jake, you had a responsibility.

Nothing at all, okay?

You're not? Absolutely not!

I want you to picture this little girl.

...and/or be unaware of the consequences of his actions...

[CLEARS THROAT]

...walking home from the grocery store one sunny afternoon.

No sir Good God fearing Klan.

...and they tie her up.

Ask him if he thinks I ought to go to jail.

Your marriage is on the rocks, you're about to have an affair.

...than any event since we integrated the schools.

Forty-sixth trial.

Come here. Come here.

How you think you going to get some money while you stuck here in jail?

That's too bad.

Don't be gross.

TONYA: Daddy, I'm sorry I dropped the groceries.

The state would like to call--

-Now, how do you know this? -Well, I'm an excellent researcher.

Now, help me make this clear to the jury, doctor.

My father's the notorious Sheldon Roark.

You know, I think about them two boys.

I'll never go in another courtroom again.

Klan don't show up for a few years and people say the Klan is dead.

Carl Lee Hailey should've shot you too.

MAN: Good luck.

When it's a load of bs...

Carl Lee Hailey.

I cannot believe he didn't take you seriously when you warned him.

I didn't call him, baby.

JAKE: Thank you, Your Honor.

You see me like that jury sees me.

Now, I would prefer no one over 50. Less bigotry, as a rule, with youth.

I think I really wanted him to do it.

ELLEN: Open! Open the gate! HARRY REX: Open the gate!

I guess we'll have to read about it in the papers.

[CROWD MURMURING]

When you and Lois Lane are ready....

Shh. It's okay.

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

It's a good thing Hastings was nearby and got here fast.

That's how you'll save us both.

SHERIFF: Don't get your mom upset now.

-Are you Carl Lee Hailey? -Yes, sir.

MAN: I need to talk to Jake Brigance.

-You'll file for change of venue. -Of course.

Carl Lee, they amputated his leg because you shot him.

-Boy, your obsession is going to break us. -Hey, hey, hey.

...your greedy divorcées, and do some real law for a change.

I know you didn't want any of this to happen...

Isn’t it usually customary to ask for a license and registration?

But the fact is...

Do you think Check should loose those draft picks?

But you see, in all this legal maneuvering...

To resurrect our country from the fires of racial degradation.

Well, um, you know what? I don't-- I don't mind waiting...

And put it in his own.

HARRY REX: There's trouble.

This is $900, Carl Lee. We said a thousand down.

No, I don't want to look at her résumé, Harry Rex, because I have you.

...were you aware that if convicted they might be freed in only 10 years?

JAKE: But yesterday, a Dr. Rodeheaver...

Kilmers innocent! Awwyaaaaa!

RUFUS: What is your diagnosis of Mr. Hailey's mental condition...

Your career's in ruins if you're lucky, and if you're not, you're dead.

You aren't? Absolutely not!

I'll keep in touch with you.

All the other cases I've worked on have only been paper defendants.

You're not? Absolutely not.

CLAUDE: Quit playing with that food. But, ladies, y'all come back.

We have no further use of this witness.

No, baby. Come here. Come here, baby. Come here.

-I believe that's Dewars. -Keep that old drunk on the sidelines.

Unless the NAACP wants to go on record as soliciting funds under false pretenses.

NURSE: We won! We won!

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

-Is that really necessary? -Just get out of the car.

Let me get this straight.

It's just I never knew the towns, and I never touched the lives or anything.

You tell them boys we need some Klan down here in Canton.

[RUFUS CHUCKLING]

What's wrong, girl? We've been through hard times before.

And they're good eyes.

Yes, you sure are enlightened. You know what?

Congratulations, counselor.

Answer the question, yes or no.

Doc cut it off.

I'm terribly sorry, I've made a mistake. I thought you were one of the good guys.

He did what I would've done.

He's dead, Freddie.

Mr. Willard, I'm Sheriff Ozzie Walls.

Now, the other night, you said you're opposed to the death penalty.

You out there, Jake. I'm in here.

No more than you can blame a horse for being a horse

No, here's trouble, Harry Rex.

And I lost my job at the mill.

This county's 26-, 30-percent black, give or take.

-Now, we feel-- -That's enough. Sidebar.

SHERIFF: Come on. Come on.

MAN [OVER PHONE]: Get your daughter out of the house right now.

-...so you can martyr the victim? -Now, Mr. Brigance.

Now look at everything that has happened.

No Sir Good God fearing Klan

-Yeah, I appreciate it. -Take care, man.

how is your friend

-Tragic, just tragic, Jake. -Yeah.

You're not?y Absolutely not.

So you can convince me you're this JFK-meets-Jesus-Christ white boy.

Ladies and gentlemen, your duty is clear.

He always missed Oxford.

Since that time, he has been a patient in your hospital, under your care...

Dream some good dreams, baby girl.

Nice to meet you, Morally Compromised.

You're bright and ambitious. Talented. You could be somebody around here.

Them skinheads who want to blow up the government?

Hell, no. I ain't moving.

...it certainly would not be that old pickled scoundrel Lucien Wilbanks.

naked responcibility is your trouble. yes it is.

Mom was a sweet little sorority girl there till Dad-- Till Dad married her.

Hundred points!

And today ain't even my birthday.

Make one hell of a team, Carl Lee.

Maybe Buckley will cop us...

And that's why you brought me to this black diner in this black neighborhood.

SISSON: We demand justice.

...and clinical director of the Whitfield Facility for the Criminally Insane.

how is Mr. yamada
