A bladder full of courtesy coffee...
A blood clot formed in her left leg...
A bully with a big bag of tricks.
A few shots of Jack mixed with just the right amount of ax to grind...
A hundred and 80 days, that's solid. Maybe he'd have cooled off.
A liar who thinks he can operate under the color of the law, just like his son.
A more superior prick who never shit between two shoes.
A six foot one, 220 pound man...
A stain on your reputation.
Absolutely not.
Agreement from the Gipper's coach, 10 letters.
Agreement from the Gipper's coach.
Ah.
Ah.
Aha.
All of it?
All right, go do something. Grandpa and I will be down in a minute.
All right, go straight to the car. Straight in. There you go.
All right, I'm just gonna stretch out for a sec.
All right, Mary. Wait, what, what, what?
All right, speed it up, man.
All right! Dad, you can't go out there!
All right?
All right.
All right.
All rise.
All rise.
All rise.
All rise.
Along with the fatigue and the cracked skin...
And at that time, did you offer any assistance?
And because I'm the only one that isn't driving with a suspended license...
And by decent, I mean honest. Someone from here.
And Dad is...
And every day after that.
And exactly what did Mr. Palmer tell you?
And he still goes there every Wednesday to play chess with Doc Morris.
And how does it feel, Hank?
And I made out with your daughter.
And I'm his doctor. I'm bound by his wishes.
And if this goes south, and it might...
And neither did you
And now Carla goes to Georgetown.
And now... Oops.
And on the lesser included charge of voluntary manslaughter?
And one mile per hour faster...
And only guilty people refuse to take the stand. Got me?
And that's how you keep abreast of what's going on on the road.
And the thing is... Listen.
And then what are we gonna do about Dale? Huh? What, are you gonna help?
And there's the lake.
And this camera. I know it's a buffer for you.
And we'll sweep out the ashes
And what do they read? Exact words, please.
And when you're on a streak, you know, you just...
And you can shove all that ma'am shit.
And you get a front row seat.
And you never came back!
And you went easy on her.
And you, ma'am, are gonna go down to DeVaney Motors...
And you're just a boy from Indiana...
And you're probably gonna ask me who I wanna live with.
And your lab registered his blood alcohol level...
And, uh...
Angry over whatever kids get angry about when they've been dating for six months.
Any brake marks in front of that turtle?
Any decent lawyer can argue this easily.
Any of that sound reasonable?
Any other fears come true?
Any strip mall lawyer's gonna chew that up and spit it out. Stolen vehicle.
Anyone who's seen a Sasquatch.
Anything that would enlighten us concerning your situation?
Anyway, don't worry about it. I mean, he's not evil.
Anyway, for what it's worth?
Are me and Grandpa still going for ice cream?
Are you crazy? Dad has been sober for 28 years.
Army who?
Army.
As a matter of fact, there are no brake marks at all, are there?
As stated by Mr. Dickham, these photos
At the wake, he shakes my hand while he's hugging everyone else.
Attention, passengers.
Aye of Knute.
Bad skin muffin top or Red Bull semen breath?
Bailiff, you mind calling an ambulance?
Barring that...
Based on the testimony of the witnesses...
Be happy your grandpa has a basement.
Be my guest. Please.
Be seated.
Be seated.
Be seated.
Because Carla's father was never gonna be her father.
Because it's depressing. You don't wanna go.
Before I rule on the defense motion, is there
Before you leave, uh...

Better hustle if you do.
Better yet, a voluntary urine sample. There you go.

But as you know all too well, sir...
But he is a liar. We've established that.
But Henry Shaw?
But I do, you see. I do.
But it could be fun.
But nailing a big snapper is similar to smacking into a cinderblock.
But no, no, routines are important. Close the door. Go.
But not because you remember hitting him.
But now a man's blood, a man that you hate...
But the judge wasn't the type to invite a camera with any degree of regularity.
But unlike you, I have one simple belief:
But when you put 12 Americans together on a jury and you ask for justice...
But you don't know how it got there.
But you haven't been drinking, have you?
But you never came.
But you'd agree there were special circumstances surrounding this case.
But you'd agree there were special circumstances surrounding this case.
But you'll have to do so after you've completed your testimony.
But you're in the dark about it all.
But your constant second guessing of others, that crystal ball bullshit?
But, uh...
But...
By God, you're good. Best verdict money can buy.
Café du Monde.
Calm down. That's why they call it an evidentiary hearing.
Can I come in?

Couldn't live with himself if his lack of experience cost the case. So...
Court assigned Mr. Shaw the case.

Crackpots. Those I can persuade to swallow their own tongues.
Crank the thing with your hand if you have to. Let's go.
D.C.? Georgetown?
Dad cannot go to prison.
Dad gave him 20 years.
Dad wants to see you, Hank.
Dad, where are you going?
Dad?
Dad?
Dad?
Dad? Dad?

Dad's a judge, you know? Sometimes he has to make difficult decisions.
Daddies don't get lonely.

Degree?
Delusions, fits of anger, depression, memory loss?
Denied.
Depends on the verdict.
Deputy Hanson, you were previously an officer in Detroit.
Deputy, please take Judge Palmer into custody.
Dickham doesn't have intent, Henry. And he never will.
Dickham is a snake charmer.
Dickham's gonna turn up the heat.
Did he play on TV?
Did it involve my reflection? Maybe sleeping at night, how do I do it?
Did you see him follow him?
Did you see him follow him?
Did you see them make eye contact?
Did your doctor caution you against the potential side effects of chemotherapy?
Do you even know her pediatrician's name? His phone number? You got that on you?
Do you have anything else to say for yourself, Mr. Williams?
Do you remember hitting him?
Do you remember hitting the victim?
Do you?
Does being widowed make me a lousy goddamn driver?
Does that help?
Doesn't add up.
Doing awesome. Check your mirrors.
Don't be a you know what, Mary! Don't be a you know what.
Don't eat it before breakfast.
Don't look at me like that. Don't do it.
Don't mind him.
Don't pat me. Don't pat me. I'm the big brother here. You don't pat me.
Don't worry, everyone. I got it.
Don't you run the tire and rim shop over on State?
Don't you think I wanna remember?
Dr. Brannamon, you found something else in his system at the time of death?
Dropped his eggs.
Easy.
Easy. Nice, nice. Stop!
Eh.

Ever. Ever.
Every night that goes between
Every word limits his options. Keep going.
Everybody I sentenced will challenge the ruling.
Everybody wants to leave.
Everyone in court would applaud. You'd make sure they did.
Exact time, sheriff?
Except it was second grade.
Excuse me?
Facing a murder trial. Just so you know.

For all I know, I never hit anything or anybody!
For every two people who stand in front of you, one wins, one loses.
For how long?
For my amusement.
Fortunately, I'm a bit light on my pro bono quota this year.
Forty million in the bank, one dead prostitute?
Forty two years.
Four minutes, 45 seconds.
Friend to the birds, like Mom. Oh.
Fuck me.
Fuck off! I went to a Metallica concert.
Fucking Dale.
Get out.
Get your gimp hand off me!
Give it up, you country quack. I'm not his son. I'm his fucking lawyer.
Glad to be here?
Glen and Dale stopped for more bait.
Glen and I were in the backyard, tinkering with his, heh, heh, breaking ball.
Glen? Where are your boys?
Go on. Pitch them.
Go where? Whoa, Both Ways Bobby, graduation night.
God help us. While we did that...
God, this is ugly.
God, too easy.
God, what happened to your hands?
God. Okay. There?
Goddamn it!
Good for you.
Good friends, always.
Good going, Dale.
Good job.
Good man.
Good to see you, sir. Chief. Good man. Hey.
Good!
Gotta remember to put food out for them, especially in the winter.
Grace and I are here if you need anything.
Grandpa Palmer doesn't wanna do any of that.
Grandpa Schneider is kind of, you know, nice and affable.
Grandpa. Yeah.
Great man. Heh.
Great, I get to move on too.
Gun Control Means Using Both Hands.
GUS [IN DISTANT Judge Palmer.
Gus? Gus the bailiff.
Gus.
Guys, you wanna head upstairs to my office?
Ha ha ha. Victory.
Hank Palmer.
Hank, come on!
Hank, he threw things at us to get our attention, not to draw blood.
Hank, I've never asked for a goddamn thing in your life.
Hank, if I don't see you before you...
Hank!
Hank? Sheriff White.
Hank.
Hank...
Happy trails!
He could have refused the case easily, but he believed in the law.
He didn't turn around because it was washed out.
He does so play chess.
He got out in April.
He got them.
He had a Major League career ahead of him...
He hauled her into two feet of water and kneeled on her chest until he drowned her.
He hurled periodicals for sport.
He is nothing like Grandpa Schneider.
He issued canine commands to get our attention.
He knows the answer, yet he asks.
He loves that place.
He must have come outside to feed.
He probably would have been on a big team...
He threatened her, discharged a firearm at her residence.
He took a .38 to her house, shot the place up.
He turned around to follow Blackwell.
He was a really good baseball player.
He was broken, he was sweet, he was almost normal. I needed a little normal.
He was dead, but Mr. Shaw had to live here.
He was dead, son.
He was threatened, spit on.
He was tough, but, aw, come on, it wasn't that bad.
He won?
He'd take you for ice cream, maybe read to you.
He'll play his tune, get the jury swinging to his version of that night.
He's always on his phone.
He's been on the bench too long. He forgets:
He's drinking.
He's gentle, like Mom used to be.
He's getting chemotherapy in a fishing cabin.
He's good.
He's her father.
He's just a dirty old mummy, and he can't hurt you, because you're special.
He's lived here his whole life. Think he can't gauge when the road will flood?
He's lying. It takes nine minutes to get to the mill and back.
He's so rugged. He's so wise.
He's sure. I'm wondering if you're sure.
He's the greatest.
He's tough, he's fair...
He's usually wrapped in gauze, and oozing and shuffling.
Heh. Good Lord, no.
Henry Shaw.
Henry?
Henry.
Here it is. I met Carla at the tavern. Blind.
Here. This'll make your skin soft.
Here's the porch.
Hey
Hey, Daddy.
Hey, Dale.
Hey, Glen, my nephews still playing ball?
Hey, Hank, going to breakfast at the diner. Care to join?
Hey, Hank.
Hey, Hank. Want some breakfast?
Hey, hey. Who's the best lawyer you've ever seen? Come on.
Hey, judge, where you going?
Hey, judge.
Hey, thanks for showing up, Carla.
Hey, turn that on, Uncle Dale.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey. Hey
Hey. Thanks.
Hey...
Hi, honey. What are you doing with Mommy's phone?
Him knowing would just complicate things.
His 1971 Cadillac DeVille?
His condition is advanced.
His wife died, he fell off the wagon, banged up the Caddy.
Hmm?
Hmm.
Hmm.
Honestly?
Honey, we're gonna go to Firefly for a drink.
Honor Roll Student on Board.
Hope Stevens.
Hope was his girlfriend, just turned 16.
How come?
How did she pass?
How do you explain that lapse in judgment?
How many violent crimes have you ruled on in that time?
How often did you visit Mark in prison?
How'd you turn out, Henry? Waiting tables? A bum?
Huh?
Huh.
Huh.
Huh.
I almost cracked this baby open a thousand times.
I also clerked two years for Justice Roberts on the Indiana Supreme Court.
I am never leaving Carlinville. I love it here.
I am therefore sentencing you to serve four years in state prison.
I believed him!
I believed him. I believed him.
I borrowed another 12 from Grandpa, took that 16 grand.
I can't say, uh, best.
I choose you.
I could convict you over coffee.
I decide in this house. You go decide in your house.
I did really well, Dad.
I did?
I did.
I didn't mean to start this fire
I didn't need help. I needed you!
I do it on a Tempur Pedic bed, in a Highland Park home...
I do not.
I do not. No.
I don't buy it. It can't be the first time someone's insulted you. It's your job.
I don't have the energy to fight with you, Henry.
I don't know what my problem is.
I don't know why you're not hanging off a mountain with him right now.
I don't know why you're not hanging off a mountain with him right now.
I don't know, Henry. I truly don't.
I don't know. Fixing the sink. Heh, heh.
I don't need preparing.
I don't remember any of that.
I don't see any skid marks.
I don't think he wants anyone knowing.
I don't wanna hear it. Unless he killed somebody, you're on your own.
I finally had my Mark back.
I followed you down here because I knew if I didn't...
I found her by the hydrangeas.
I gave him the minimum, 30 days.
I get it's been a while, Hank...
I got a bad idea.
I got money. A lot of money. I got money like the Colonel's got chicken.
I graduated first in my class. I was first in my class.
I graduated from law school, for chrissake.
I graduated from law school, for chrissake.
I guess I can't fault you for not remembering me.
I have a little toast here.
I have intent now.
I hired you to make this go away.
I just didn't think it would happen to me.
I just like to go really fast.
I just saw you a few minutes ago.
I just wanna...
I just wanted to, you know, have a moment before you run out.
I killed the bastard.
I know me. I ran that man down.
I know you too.
I looked at him and saw my middle son.
I looked at him and saw you.
I looked at you and I saw him.
I love how you are simultaneously...
I love how you hate a bully while you're being one.
I love seeing you here...
I love you, baby.
I love you.
I loved you then and I love you now. I do.
I made Dan an offer for the diner that he couldn't refuse.
I make a decision right then and there.
I may need you to testify.
I miss you too. Baby, I'll see you soon.
I missed you, baby. It's gonna be such a fun weekend.
I never asked you for a goddamn thing.
I only own the one black dress.
I put a roof over your head, money in your pocket...
I put a roof over your head, money in your pocket...
I remember being there at the mini mart. I needed eggs.
I remember he, uh...
I remember him. I just don't recall, uh...
I remember the morning he got out.
I respect the law just fine. I'm just not in awe of it. I'm not encumbered by it.
I retained one of that breed this morning. All right?
I see.
I strongly suggest you dry out and practice that narrative.
I suspect he's still doing it for her.
I think Grandpa's sweet.
I think I heard you having a bad dream.
I told her not to cover the Valparaiso.
I turned around, stopped at the light on State.
I understand there's a motion you'd like to be heard on.
I understand why you're going mental.
I want you to know that.
I wanted someone to help him...
I wanted to put my arms around him and tell him it didn't have to be like this.
I was 13. I was 17.
I was at the courthouse. He forgot Gus's name.
I was gonna apologize for belittling your marriage.
I was gonna say Welcome to Carlinville.
I was just second chair for the prosecution.
I was just thinking it was either that or maybe I shower up and come meet you.
I was thinking a six pack.
I watched him cry right there.
I went and saw Mom today.
I went to the convenience store last night, all right?
I wish I liked you more.
I won't confess to something I don't remember doing, okay?
I wouldn't do that, because that's your gig. That's your forte.
I, uh, need a continuance.
I'd like to go home now, okay?
I'd rather die in prison than be remembered like that.
I'd waited so long for him to come home.
I'll be back tomorrow.
I'll be out in a minute. Go eat. Finish your hush puppies.
I'll be right along.
I'll never fucking come back here again.
I'll paint your father as a holier than thou
I'll replay it.
I'll show you. I have it...
I'll take you shopping. You wanna go shopping?
I'm 72 with Stage 4 cancer. What choice do I have?
I'm assuming you still know where the cemetery is?
I'm Carla's dad, right?
I'm from here!
I'm full.
I'm glad you and Mom became friends, and... Why?
I'm going for groceries.
I'm gonna close the place early tonight.
I'm gonna go play with myself. I'll be thinking of you.
I'm gonna impale your client on a first degree murder charge.
I'm gonna say this as professionally and gently as I possibly can.
I'm gonna shower up and hit the rack.
I'm just gonna let you drive home. You're doing great.
I'm not gonna have to walk too far to piss on both graves.
I'm not gonna let you punish her for this, okay? She understands.
I'm of sound mind and body, and it's none of your goddamn business...
I'm on the Dayton blacktop, hauling ass home.
I'm on your side, judge.
I'm sorry about your mom.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry you felt so sad you got on Facebook...
I'm sorry, did I say that?
I'm stuck in purgatory with a client who's doing...
I'm sure your mother would have appreciated it.
I'm surprised you still work here.
I'm tired of the way you decide how the world is gonna run.
I've always been proud of you. Always will be.
I've been treating him for a year.
I've sprayed reasonable doubt all over this case. Please, will you just...?
If he could ride a bike at all, it would have been swerving.
If he'd had regular screenings...
If he'd meant to hurt her, he would have.
If the blood matches, and I have no reason to doubt it does...
If the great state of Illinois can't meet its burden of proof...
If we gain the jury's sympathy, they'll never convict you.
If you ask him to read, he might throw the book at you.
If you can corroborate that, I need it in my pocket.
If you don't talk, you walk.
If you wanna come by around, I don't know, 9 ish, let's say...
Imagine a faraway place, Hank...
In a good way.
In a minute, Lauren.
In fact, the only thing he detests more than board games is doctors.
In fact, you're the first girl in this family in a long time.
In his statement, Judge Palmer said he reached the road near the mill...
In Ms. Jenkins' class, on the kickball field in the south corner...
In the way that people are surprised when somebody you know is...
In, uh, remission.
Indeed.
Innocent people can't afford me.
Intelligent people who will listen to instructions and follow the evidence.
Ireland. Out of Ireland?
Is that all you wanted, Henry? A kind word and attaboy?
Is there an offer of proof here?
Is there something I can do?
Is this the first time your mom passed away...
It doesn't work that way.
It happened to Megan.
It happens in stages, and, uh...
It just spells out tolerance with religious symbols.
It was a guilty verdict.
It was about 50 yards behind her house.
It was just one of those lies we tell ourselves...
It was my chance to be...
It was your uncle Glen's.
It's a 20 degree bend at best.
It's a coincidence.
It's advanced.
It's been a long time. I waited a long time for this.
It's called chemo brain.
It's fine.
It's just a rumor.
It's my car.
It's not easy to have a good marriage.
It's not really ready yet, but...
It's not something I keep track of.
It's Play Doh. Are you paying attention?
It's pretty obvious.
It's pretty straightforward, C.P.
It's sweet. It is.
It's your right to seek other counsel if you so choose.
It's, uh, here in Indiana. Did you go out of state?
Its back hoof taps the glass.
John Jr. had his helmet on.
Judge Palmer?
Judge Palmer's your old man?
Judge says he's missing time. Explain that to me.
Judge Warren caught it. You know him, sir?
Judge, you had hair? Oh, look at you.
June, July, August, September, October, November, December, January...
June, July, August, September, October, November... The fuck?
Jury entering. All rise.
Jury selection will begin one week from today.
Just a matter of time.
Just a sidebar.
Just now, in the restroom down the hall. He turned around and...
Just saying.
Karen, hold on.
Keep an eye on the judge. I think he's...
Kind of a touchy subject. Go to sleep.
Kiss my ass.
Knock it off.
Knock, knock.
Knowing every person you represent is guilty?
Knute Rockne, the great Notre Dame coach from South Bend, Indiana.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, thank you for your service.
Last call, boys.
Last two days in a federal penitentiary.
Lauren, uh...
Lauren.
Law.
Leaving the scene, blood evidence, motive.
Less than 1 percent knows the name Thurgood Marshall.
Let him finish.
Let me do my job. Let me do the talking. Keep your mouth shut, you'll win.
Let me tell you something, okay? Here.
Let's go.
Let's hold some court. Yeah.
Let's... Come on with me.
Like sawing sawdust, all that worry for nothing.
Like, it is never a tornado. This is stupid.
Lisa and all.
Listen to me. Ulysses S. Grant held this country together.
Listen to me. You're a strong man, not a boy, okay?
Listen, this wasn't some West Englewood drug sweep. The search was good.
Lock the door behind you.
Long as you're ready for tomorrow.
Look around you.
Look at that. Oh, look at that.
Look, we'll figure it out, don't worry. I promise.
Looking forward.
Lou Shrubner. That's your divorce attorney?
Make yourself at home there, Henry.
Man.
Massive internal damage.
Maybe I'll buy you a drink.
Maybe just my closed fist, counselor, in my own personal space.
Maybe Saint Joseph, the patron saint of fathers...
Might catch him off guard.
Might cost you your job.
Mine's Robert Graham. I worked for him.
Mm.
Mm. Missed you.
Mom. Go.
Mommy would be lonely.
Morning.
Most people think that their cases are pretty special.
Most people think that their cases are pretty special.
Move for sentencing, Your Honor.
Mr. Kattan, step away.
Mr. Palmer stated he drove his vehicle...
Mr. Palmer, Mark Blackwell appeared in your
Mr. Palmer, where exactly are you going with this?
Mr. Palmer.
Mr. Palmer.
Mr. Palmer...
Mr. Palmer... Judge Palmer, Deputy Hanson.
Mrs. Blackwell, after all those years and all that heartbreak...
Murder?
My ass.
My father is a holier than thou prick...
My father's a lot of unpleasant things. A murderer is not one.
My first job after law school. A drifter killed a farmer, violated his wife.
My little boy.
My little boy.
My memory plays tricks on me. It plays tricks on me.
My mom passed away this morning.
My testimony is...
My wife just died.
Mysterious ways.
Narrate this.
Native son, public servant for over 40 years...
Nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite...
Never on pavement. Won't splash your shoes that way.
Never. What are you studying?
New England Glass company. What a great find.
Ninety percent of the country believes in ghosts...
No doubt about it.
No further questions, Your Honor.
No further questions.
No mother should have to bury her child. Thank you, ma'am.
No motion, Your Honor.
No need to be so morose... ...Henry.
No tricks.
No, I am the unplanned but happy result...
No, no, no. Answer it.
No, no. No, back up. Back up!
No, recovered. It's a reminder that I'm stronger. It holds no power over me.
No, sir.
No, sir.
No, there are not.
No, there's water all over the floor.
No, your opinion is you hit him on purpose.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No. Drink. Okay.
No. It wouldn't have helped you.
No. None of that.
Nobody hits one if they see it and can possibly avoid it.
Nobody knows.
Nobody, nobody, gives a rat's ass about your legacy.
None of my business...
Northwestern.
Not even your late wife.
Not my first time.
Not my... My brother?
Not now. Don't look at me like that. Not now.
Not really, no.
Not you, Glen.
Nothing changes.
Nothing changes.
Nothing further.
Nothing I can't handle.
Now you.
Now, if you'd like to finish that cliché you
Now, peacefully, easily... ...easily...
Now, this...
Now, was I tough on you? Yes.
Now, what exactly is our target juror?
Now, what's he remembered for? Being a drunk.
Now, you listen to me. He stood in court and wept like a lost child.
Now, you still want fair? All right.
Objection. Argumentative.
Objection. Asked and answered.
Objection. Calls for speculation. Move to strike.
Objection. Counsel is trying to prejudice the jury.
Objection. He said no more questions.
Objection. Relevance?
Objection. The defendant's history as a judge is not relevant.
Objection. The deputy's credentials are not in question.
Of all the years you sat on that bench...
Of filing. He wants the trial here.
Offer expires when you leave.
Often as not, they get it right.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Oh, come on.
Oh, family Christmas. Look at you guys in your p.j.'s.
Oh, God. Where were you two when they were distributing testicles?
Oh, he didn't miss the deadline. It's a small town.
Oh, I forgot. Wait, wait, wait.
Oh, I know that look.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, my God, there he is. Look.
Oh, my God, you're nuts.
Oh, my God. It looks taller than it used to.
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah. Can I throw on some pants? Sure. You're a family member.
Oh, you flinched.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh. Dad, they wouldn't drive your car.
Oh. Ha, ha.
Oh. So not too many times. Two times in 20 years. Twice.
Oh. This is St. Francis. I picked. Because he was her favorite.
Okay, again. When he leaves.
Okay, all right.
Okay, ha, ha.
Okay, I'm impressed.
Okay, let's rehearse.
Okay, okay, Dale.
Okay, so you're gonna swear in, hand to God...
Okay, when? Right now.
Okay? And I was the one she blamed because you wouldn't come home. Me.
Okay? I'm asking you now.
Okay? I'm there with Dale and Glen, and...
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay. Hey, here it is.
Old girlfriends, seeing them.
Old school.
On him?
Once I subpoena you, get you on the stand...
One for each hand.
One version is slightly less not fine than the other.
One, two, three. Closing, closing, closing.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Ooh. That's a little colder.
Order.
Order.
Overruled.
Overruled.
Ow.
Oxycodone paracetamol in his blood. Percocet.
Palmer could have hit something substantial...
Palmer, you asshole!
Patience.
People in this community trust me.
People wouldn't sit near him in church.
Perhaps the visitation records will refresh your memory. How many times?
Pfft. Oh, I'm not letting you anywhere near the stand.
Pitching scouts had started to come to his games, from Cincinnati, Saint Louis.
Please, with all the trouble you made, you're lucky that's all you got.
Pop.
Pop. One of those.
Possession of a controlled substance? Domestic violence? That's you.
Premeditation.
Prepared him, defended him.
Pretty amazing coincidence, don't you think? Blackwell?
Pretty obvious that Dickham had no intention
Prick determined to see justice served.
Prognosis?
Punctuality issues, equal confidence in bloom...
Question is, deputy:
Quietly.
Racecar driver.
Ran the snakes out of Indiana, and don't ask me how.
Really good.
Really?
Really? Does he seem a likely candidate?
Rein it in, Mr. Palmer.
Remember what you'd say if you thought I had one on me?
Right now that cop Hanson's on his way to the mini mart...
Right? Got it.
Ronald Reagan oversaw the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of the Cold War.
Said he was drunk, would never do it again.
Said he'd assist a more seasoned attorney.
Saint Thomas Moore. I don't know which prayer card the judge would like.
Sam.
Sam.
Say it again.
Say it. I'm used to being held under scrutiny.
Say, if the county up and moved overnight.
See that in there? And right on the bottom:
See you folks in court.
See you in 20 years.
See? He's playing chess.
Sentence is to begin forthwith.
Seventy six Chevette, fake wood paneling.
She and I stayed close. Gee, I just saw her Tuesday.
She fussed over her hydrangeas.
She knows it's not right that her daddy's never home before her bedtime.
She knows it's not right that her mom is sad all the time.
She knows it's not right that her mom is sad all the time.
She spent the morning kneeling.
She spit on the window.
She was born nine months after I split.
She'll be living with me, by the way.
She's home for summer break.
Sheriff, after you arrived, what happened?
Shit for brains, am I speaking Korean? Stop the goddamn car.
Show of hands.
Shut your mouth and listen for once in your entire life!
Sign here and here to take possession.
Sir, are you co counsel?
Sir, did anybody other than you have access to your vehicle?
Sir, how have I mischaracterized your testimony?
Sir, I appreciate the primer in DNA evidence analysis.
Sit and zip it.
Sit down.
Sit down.
Six months.
So are you a clairvoyant?
So don't.
So Grandpa Palmer's dead too?
So I can truly win
So I suggest you do your job, Kattan.
So I try to say goodbye, my friend
So I was in the liquor cabinet.
So it's midnight.
So let me guess.
So no?
So on one of the worst days of your life...
So this is my standard services contract.
So unless there's been a change in circumstance that warrants...
So we took dinner to the jail because every night Mr. Shaw sat with him.
So when you see Mom, what are you supposed to say?
So would I.
So you think you did it?
So you were working that night at the mini mart...
So you're telling this court...
So, Deputy Hanson, looking at this road, there is no indication...
So, in a nutshell, you're following me down here to settle a score?
So, what exactly did he tell you?
So, what stage are we in?
Someone with integrity that an Indiana judge will respect.
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry to hear about your wife.
Sounds complicated. I should go with you.
Stage 4.
Still letting him wind you up?
Stop staring. I know I look good.
Stop telling me how to do my job. Do I tell you how to commit fraud...
Stop.
Straighten it out. Back, back, back.
Subtlety, Henry. A velvet touch.
Sure can. Nice work, sheriff.
Tasted like cinnamon.
Tchh tchh.
Tear this house down.
Tell me about Lauren. Likes, dislikes?
Tell them how proud you were. Proud of fucking strangers.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Thank you very much, judge.
Thank you, Dr. Putney. No further questions, Your Honor.
Thank you, fellas. Appreciate you all being here.
Thank you, Your Honor. No further questions.
Thank you. Duly noted.
Thank you. First time. What a schmuck you are.
Thank you. That's all I have.
Thanks for coming. Appreciate it.
Thanks.
Thanks.
That hyper verbal vocabulary vomit thing that you do.
That I'm a decent guy? That I'm loyal?
That I'm a phenomenal lawyer, that I got a work ethic that'll rival the Amish?
That it was fine with me when you left to go to that goddamn concert...
That it's not reasonable to assume Judge
That makes me what?
That one.
That you're the only one who's gonna get hurt when you run away again...
That, um...
That's a grackle. They're a real nuisance.
That's a nice frame.
That's a no. Great.
That's a rookie move. Careful.
That's a stage.
That's been firmly established. Are we within a mile of a question here?
That's bullshit. What time is your flight tomorrow?
That's funny.
That's it. I am so sick of you.
That's it. Out. Bailiff, get rid of him.
That's me?
That's not my testimony.
That's nothing.
That's right.
That's six months. A year.
That's super comfy. There you go. You want a second pillow?
That's up to him.
That's us.
That's what I thought.
That's what that was.
The artiste at work.
The day of the accident, what did you do that morning?
The Honorable Judge Sanford Warren presiding.
The I don't remember defense doesn't fly with a corpse.
The judge leaves the store, his car goes one way, Blackwell the other.
The judge's Cadillac reappears in the frame five minutes after he left the lot.
The pain will increase. We'll manage that with morphine.
The preliminary hearing is set for next Friday.
The prosecution can't prove you hit him any more than you can.
The prosecutor recommended community service.
The quarry, your Ranchero. I remember everything.
The road home was washed out, where it dips near the old mill.
Then escort Mr. Williams to his ex truck.
Then his hand got messed up.
Then I don't.
Then I'll fire you, and C.P. will do it.
Then it happened to Katlin.
Then muster some.
Then to use your words, you should have come the fuck home!
Then you can say goodbye to your dreams of flags flying at half mast when you're dead.
There he is.
There was a girl.
There was no Wabash River float trip. There was no Everclear and Kool Aid.
There we go.
There you are. Watch and learn, boys.
There's a real possibility that he was mentally impaired when he hit Blackwell.
There's ghosts here. I'm gonna leave you alone now.
There's no chance Carter tosses it.
There's no reasonable doubt here. He's human.
There's no route from the mini mart home where that makes sense.
There's no we here, Henry. This was an accident, period.
They assigned a special prosecutor, Dwight Dickham?
They found a body, Hank.
They need intent for murder. That's our case.
They never got him on a felony.
They only marry younger mommies.
They shouldn't drive together.
They trust the law.
They was both over by the cooler.
They were more important to his father.
They're asking questions about the car. They think that he...
They're my in laws. I feel like we should...
This accident is a legal iron ball, Henry.
This again?
This court is adjourned.
This is a preliminary hearing, not a trial.
This is easy. There's no witness.
This is your guy? If he drops the ball, you're
This man's been your bailiff for 22 years. What is his name?
Till Dale jerked a filling out, ruined it for everybody.
Tired.
Tired... ...dark, raining.
To answer your question, no, I'm not asking if I can represent you.
To let this fire burn between us
To slap a bag on it.
To whatever, I don't know. But let's have a toast.
Told me it's under control. It's in remission.
Tough day.
Tough day. How did you feel?
True story. Ha ha ha.
Trust me, I'm gonna be back fast as I can. It's a personal matter.
Trust me, nobody wants to go to Carlinville, Indiana.
Turn it off.
Twelve, 14 points...
Twice.
Ugh.
Ugh. Fuck.
Uh huh.
Uh huh.
Uh huh.
Uh, Glen, make sure you hold your boys together tomorrow.
Uh, I don't remember. Too many times.
Uh, just so you know...
Uh, what is that? Can you help me?
Uh, wow.
Uh...
Uh...
Uh...
Uh... Mr. Shaw.
Uh... Well, the way these things work...
Um...
Undergoing any medical treatment?
Undergoing any medical treatment?
Unh. Come on, give me a boost.
Unless I drop you down the escalator!
Unlock the car. Come on. I wanna go home.
Use it.
Valpo? Valparaiso? It's, uh... Ugh, Mom.
Verdict?
Wait, wait, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait. You said this wouldn't go to trial.
Wait. Hold on.
Wanna do something for me?
Wanna go to the vending machine?
Want a cell phone? All your own? I'll get you a...
Want me to tell you what causes that, ma'am?
Watch and learn. Ha ha ha.
We all loved Mary. Thank you. It means a lot to me.
We all waited.
We can get everything we need from a hair sample.
We can get this dismissed. It was an accident.
We caught it too late to cut it out.
We don't hide behind the law here. There's damage to my car.
We don't want a lot of caterwauling.
We find the defendant guilty.
We find the defendant not guilty.
We gotta make it all go away at the preliminary hearing.
We kept no secrets.
We know it's wrong
We know you didn't intentionally hit him, but that's the way they'll spin it.
We need to establish a firm defense.
We never go to trial.
We saw you leave for the grocery store.
We skid, one hand on the wheel, one hand on Carla.
We would like to remove any doubt as to the validity of our search.
We're gonna fix it. We're gonna fix it. It's okay.
We're gonna have to file another continuance. What else can I do?
We're here to establish whether there's probable cause...
We're in.
We're out of fucking time. You're not taking the stand.
We're two people caught up in the flame
We've already seen the security footage from the accident night.
We've got a witness that puts his car on Route 30...
We've known each other since the third grade.
Well, a lot of people appeared in my court, but...
Well, if you wait, you'll see I got a whole family of muskrats crossing the lake.
Well, light a match and hold my hair back. This is your Hank?
Well, we'll figure it all out, baby.
Well, yeah, it's my bullshit. Kindly remove your shoes from it.
Well, you know how to clear a room.
Well, you know, when you lose...
Well, Your Honor...
What about booze?
What are you doing?
What are you having?
What could he possibly have said?
What do all these numbers and percentages mean...
What do you know?
What do you think you know?
What do you wanna hear?
What happened to Reagan?
What is that?
What kind of recovering alcoholic keeps a stocked liquor cabinet?
What lies you gonna tell me?
What line were we in when they were distributing testicles?
What other myriad of misdemeanors is gonna come to light while you're in the slammer?
What say you in the matter of the State of Indiana v. Joseph Palmer...
What the future may hold for you?
What the hell did he hit?
What was her name?
What would you say your strong suit is, old furniture or law? Quick.
What, so you can smear me? lmply that I invented a phantom witness?
What? Goddamn!
What? Put your hands at 10 and 2.
What's a hush puppy?
What's done is done. If you hit somebody, they swerved in front of you.
What's her favorite color?
What's her teacher's name?
What's the story, Mr. Dickham? Filing for a change of venue?
What's wrong?
Whatever had or hadn't happened in the past...
When my lawyers are done with you, I'll be living in your house!
When you said that the old man was playing chess every Wednesday with...
When your field officer's filling out his incident report, I'm gonna be very helpful.
Where did you hear that?
Where my Bit O' Honey, old man?
Where were we?
Where...? Who?
Where's Mary? Do you think there's something else? After we die?
Whew.
Whew.
Which one of you peckerwoods banged up my car?
Which one?
Who paid for that college education I never showed up to kiss your ass over?
Who's got the felony DWI?
Who's her best friend? What does she eat for breakfast?
Who's there?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. No. Don't let him pretend this is complicated.
Whose room is this?
Why are my shoes off?
Why are there so many trophies?
Why are we even down here?
Why can't I go with you?
Why can't you just let it go?
Why couldn't you swallow your pride and come home to her?
Why did we come here?
Why did you go easy on him the first time?
Why didn't he take his trophies to his own house?
Why do you think you can't remember?
Why don't we just do this? Let's go to the tub.
Why the hell are you calling me, Lisa?
Why were those people so mad?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why? Heh, heh.
Wife and Dog Missing, Reward for Dog.
Willie Nelson for President.
Wished him ill?
Without further delay, let's get started, gentlemen.
Wondering if you can come by the station. There's something you should see.
Would it surprise you to learn...
Would you give those to Mr. Williams' ex wife, please?
Wow. That's a dandy of a school.
Wow. This is a lawsuit right here. Don't get sued before you lose your next case.
WOW. Uh...
Wrong.
Yeah is not an affirmation a man uses in court.
Yeah, but none of that applies to me.
Yeah, he isn't. But I'm glad you see it that way.
Yeah, I know I'm late, Billy. So sue me.
Yeah, I'd love to walk out on it, but I can't.
Yeah, that's pretty good. Just don't oversell it. You know what I mean?
Yeah, that's right. He used to tell us all to be quiet.
Yeah, what about me?
Yeah, why don't you show us what you've been working on?
Yeah?
Yeah? Let's remain unprepared. Fuck it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. I saw Mr. Blackwell and Judge Palmer make eye contact.
Yeah. Kool Aid and Everclear.
Yeah. That camera makes an appearance, we both know where it's heading, right?
Yeah. Too warm?
Yeah. Whole force out, huh?
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
Yep.
Yes or no?
Yes, I do.
Yes, I have. Charge?
Yes, Joe is hitting cleanup on varsity.
Yes, no?
Yes, sir.
Yes, we did. Mark Blackwell had
Yes, you're familiar with the concept or you attended one?
Yes, Your Honor.
Yes?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes. But I have to live here.
Yes. How long were you married?
Yes. Just now.
You and Kevin Thompson in the backseat naked, huffing whippets.
You are the most brutally bullheaded client I've ever had.
You are.
You asking me if I believe in God?
You bang it out yourself. Dale, let's go.
You can't afford me, so I'd have to do it for free.
You can't practice law without going to law school. Yeah, Valpo.
You can't screw it up.
You cannot lose this case.
You crippled him, you stole his future, and you call me an asshole?
You did it on purpose.
You did that on purpose.
You didn't already know enough to be impressed?
You didn't make it anywhere near the mill, did you?
You didn't make it.
You discover they've had the same job for...
You don't have a truck.
You don't know what my life is like, okay? Mom is gone. All right?
You gave him 30 days.
You gonna be okay at the funeral tomorrow?
You guys have a low opinion of Judge Palmer?
You hired me because we both know you wouldn't
You hung me out to fucking dry with Dwight Dickham because you held out on me!
You kept your hair.
You killed him.
You know I'm leaving when the trial's over. Are you sure we should do this?
You know too much.
You know who I am?
You know, he peed on me.
You know, I didn't just graduate from law school.
You know, the great thing about authentic mercury glass is the double wall.
You know, the jelly beans and your horseshit legacy?
You know, uh...
You know...
You know...
You know...
You left too soon, Mary. You left too soon.
You look good. You warm enough?
You may think Mark Blackwell was white trash, and he may very well have been...
You mean, judge, I can milk her, kill her, cook her...
You might have misheard something I said.
You might say I'm sick, yes.
You missed the deadline, but I'll consider it.
You picked the fella you work with.
You put me in juvenile detention.
You read that.
You rearrange everything!
You see a man that you hate, and minutes later...
You sent me to fucking Vanderburgh!
You should be proud of yourself. Be halfway to manslaughter by lunch.
You tell me why!
You tell your brothers you're getting a divorce? Tell them!
You think you can make each other happy again?
You tie my shoelaces together. I can't help you if you won't let me do my job.
You were headed down the wrong path. I did what I thought was right.
You will be fine. You're something else.
You, me.
You? Really?
You'd do anything to avoid that, would you not?
You'd invite people at the end of parole back to court.
You'd recognize those who did their time, turned their lives around...
You're a big boy.
You're a bullshitter.
You're a civil servant in a corn belt, Bible banging backwater.
You're a natural, by the way.
You're a shined up wooden nickel, Mr. Palmer.
You're done when you answer me.
You're done.
You're excused.
You're funny.
You're gonna parcel out who gets to say and do what and when you say it?
You're here to listen, not talk, okay?
You're impossible to defend.
You're invested in your client. You feel the life in your hands.
You're invited. Of course you are.
You're making the turn all by yourself. Good girl, good girl, good girl.
You're my granddaughter?
You're my little sweetheart. I'll show you the house. Come on.
You're not capable of overriding a lifetime of ethical superiority.
You're not wearing your wedding rings.
You're okay. Just stay. Stay right there.
You're scaring the fish away.
You're standing in one of the last great cathedrals in this country...
You're the first granddaughter I ever had.
You're the little dimwit shutterbug retard...
You've always been my sweetheart...
You've been on the bench how long?
You've had this a year?
You've never been in that seat.
You've never sat on a witness stand.
Your biggest mistake, and you just happen to run him over?
Your dad did it in five.
Your dad's a piece of shit.
Your Honor, can I...
Your Honor, I'm gonna fight like a badger for you.
Your Honor, may I request a brief recess?
Your Honor, the deadline for filing a change of venue motion...
Your Honor, the state has introduced evidence that suggests a motive...
Your Honor?
Your mother insisted that he try.
Your mother knew, that's all.
Your mother? She was a housewife.
Your room has all Dad's important stuff.
Your stuff is in boxes.
...and there's a Saint Joseph... Dial down the crazy.
Ah! Don't you do it when I do it. Ha, ha.
All right. Whoo!
And did you see...? Excuse me.
And then? Deny it. You missed your deadline.
Answer me. Who did this? Who do you think?
Are you watching for me? What do you think?
Asshole! Throw that punch. You like County food?
Augustus, judge. Yeah, of course. Gus.
Because you were drunk? No, because I can't remember.
But who's out guarding the doughnut shop? Ha, ha.
But you don't need it. Okay, Dad.
C.P., you're up. Sit down, Mr. Kennedy.
Can I borrow your pen? Yeah.
Can I help? She'll slip. There's too much water.
Come here. Say goodbye to Dad. Come here.
Correct? I just said yes.
Cut it out! Eyes forward, you coward.
Deal. Shit happens. Like your marriage.
Did they raise it? Ha, ha.
Did you run over any of those folks? Objection.
Did you? No.
Did you? The jaded lawyer...
Do we expect an appeal? No.
Easy, Dad! Fuck it!
Easy, Dad! Fuck it!
Excuse me. Yeah?
Figure impact right here. Yeah.
Fuck it, I'm out. Good. Good!
Get out of here. Dad, give me your hand.
Give him a chance. Turn it off!
Glen? You left!
Go give some grown ups drinks, please. Oh.
Goes to state of mind, Your Honor. Overruled.
Got you. Mm hm.
Ha, ha. Proud mama. Yeah, Dad.
Hank, you shoot your mouth off too much! Where is he going?
He didn't mean that. He didn't mean that.
He just doesn't lose. Uh huh.
He just keeps selling, doesn't he? Sit down.
He who's her father? Yeah, Glen doesn't know.
Here. Give me some to take home too.
Hmm? Up my ass.
Holy shit. ERIC Shut up, Joe.
How about that storm, huh? Mm.
How's that temperature? Is it okay? Ooh, ooh. Too hot.
I had to water the plants.
I wasn't talking to you.
I am? What? Yeah.
I can't. Next, Dale.
I don't care. You're on your own. Stop talking and listen!
I don't remember. I can't have. No, no.
I haven't been stuck here. Ugh.
I know, right? What were you thinking?
I recognize you. You're no altar boy. Mom.
I told you everything! Wrong!
I was just 17. That's what happened. Oh.
I wish he died instead of Mom. Cut it out!
I won't be back. Yeah.
I'll see you in court. I'm sorry. I just...
I'm fucking here. He's your father. You should be here.
I'm hearing you. I'm glad.
I'm sorry. It's murder two.
Is that okay? Okay, let's go.
It was dark... Hold up. Uh...
It was just the one time... Glen? That fucker?
It's crazy. I mean... Oh!
It's film. I can't... Next. Next.
Joseph. Yeah. Thank you, Rose.
Judge. Yeah.
Just gonna get some air. I know, but you disappear.
Let's go, let's go! You will be!
Magic 8 Ball. Mm hm. It is certain.
Magic 8 Ball. Mm hm. It is certain.
Maybe so. Maybe so. I have memories.
Maybe we should follow Dad. Should I?
Mm. Oh, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Night, baby. Night, Dad.
No, no, no! Then why don't you remember...
No, sir. You gotta be shitting me.
No, you startled me. Yeah, you meant to do that.
No. You sick, Pop?
No. Dad's Maverick. Mm.
Not in this house. Dad! Shit!
Now, in his defense... Now he gets one.
Oh, I forgot, today's about you. Coffee.
Oh, maybe I'm gonna strangle her. Ha ha ha.
Oh, yeah. Can you get your leg over?
Oh. Get whatever you want.
Okay, all right! Enough!
Okay? Okay, Dad.
Okay? Careful where you're stepping. Okay.
Okay. Here.
Okay. You think.
One loves you, one hates you. Yes, yes, yes.
Overruled. All those trials...
Palmer, you asshole... Hey! Yeah. Oops.
Pardon me? Twice!
Police report has him on a bike. Yeah.
Pull her birth certificate. I did.
Reagan? Wow. Yeah.
Remember fishing? I remember the lake house.
Remember you used to bring these home? Yeah. Give me some.
Remember? Inhaled them. Ha, ha. Sure.
Right? Girl, what is up with you? Turn around.
Sad? You're sad? Yes!
See? Mm hm.
She was a good woman, Joseph. Yes, she was.
She's fine. Of course she is.
Should Glen drive you? I don't know, Dale.
Sit down! Gentlemen!
Sit down! I'm not done. None, none, none!
Slurred speech? No!
Sorry for your loss, ma'am. Sorry?
Sound corny? Sounds epic.
Stop the car. Dad, come on.
Stop. You meant to do that. Did that just happen?
Tell me what happened. I don't remember.
Ten years. insufficient evidence.
Thank you. Thank you.
That's awful! He says, Jump, you say, How high?
That's not the point. Sheriff, may we use your office?
That's not the whole of it. Or is he out of his mind?
That's our family. Yeah, it is.
The night Hank vanished from Carlinville. Since when have you had a daughter?
There is no story. Huh.
There you go. Ha ha ha.
There you go. Oh, hoo, hoo, hoo.
There you go. You little gremlins, you inhaled these.
There's no father's name listed. No, there is not.
There's no snacks on the witness stand. Uh...
This ain't fair... Hey! One more word. Go on.
This place was on its last legs... This is your place.
Time? Four minutes 45.
To good luck in court. Good luck.
Uh, law. Law. Law school?
Uh, were you married? Negative.
Want some water? No.
We're not done. We are.
What an arm. Ha ha ha!
What do you know? I know a lot.
What is it, Glen? Sheriff...
What? I see that T shirt survived.
What? What are we doing?
What? What do you mean, what?
What's your point, Mr. Palmer? That there is a snapping turtle.
Where you going? Get some air.
Where's the family? Couldn't make it. School.
Who the fuck is Carla's dad? Please. Go to the courthouse.
Who? Who drove last?
Whoo. Ooh.
Why, Sam? Why?
With Doc Morris. Mm hm. Yeah. Because he doesn't play chess.
Wolf it. You gotta go. Surprised I am.
Worked every time. Yeah.
Wow, looks like Christmas. Oh, nice.
Wow. Look at that arm.
Wow. You ever in Washington, Mr. Palmer?
Yeah. 'Yeah' is not an affirmation...
Yeah. Always will be.
Yeah. At the bar. Yes.
Yes, he did. What are they?
Yes, sir... Judge, Your Honor. Keys.
Yes, this is my place. What did I bust into it for?
Yes. Good. Now put your head down.
You don't know a thing... I know a lot.
You got my Bit O'Honey, old man? Check it out.
You have a naked lady in here. Yeah. It's a fun wallet.
You okay? I don't know.
You smell like her. She smells nice.
You want me to fly you? Glad to see you're on your game.
You're looking at the road? Yeah.
You're not my lawyer! You're a witness. Answer my question.
You're welcome. Fuck.
You've... You two met? No.
...20 years... Stop it.
...200 pounds, give or take, charging the road, straight for me.
...434 assaults... ...12,942 civil cases?
...a man that you absolutely hate...
...a man you released...
...all the people that stood before you, the leniency...
...and extract the truth from your ass...
...and full of himself.
...and he runs a tire shop. Fuck.
...and he's in a ravine with his kidneys ruptured and his back broken...
...and I'm guessing the wetter you get, the better you look. You'll go far.
...and lie under oath that you remember hitting him?
...and nothing but the truth, so help you God?
...and sell your new truck back to him...
...and the evidence presented by Mr. Dickham...
...and went to her heart.
...and you always will be.
...and you don't remember hitting him?
...and you have the perfect opportunity to balance the scales of justice...
...and you never called again.
...and you saw Judge Palmer and Mr. Blackwell.
...and your testimony is that you didn't seize that chance and kill him.
...approach, Your Honor?
...as I am required to impose an appropriate sentence.
...ask for Mike DeVaney, the father, not the nitwit son...
...at .23? Yes.
...built on the premise that you and you alone are responsible...
...but backing a car into a driveway to make getting out easier is a concept...
...but I'm not naive, Hank. I know you.
...but in the eyes of the state, his life matters.
...but when Glen and I were in high school, we got in a really bad car accident.
...clothes on your back, food in your mouth!
...confusion, dementia, delusions.
...correctly identify Homer Simpson and the town in which he resides.
...deny coverage to terminally ill policy holders...
...determined to see justice served, so it's gonna be a light day.
...display any sign of hostility?
...do you think you killed him intentionally?
...drug her down to a spill pond.
...during halftime at the homecoming game.
...eat her, even, but that's illegal?
...everything in his power to be found guilty.
...filing the motion out of time...
...flies over the hood.
...for a change of venue?
...for not knowing what running over a snapping turtle is like.
...for the alleged crime related to the judge's duties.
...for whatever the turnip there put down on it.
...Forensics found traces of blood on your dad's car.
...friended your old Gore Tex wearing college buddy Josh and fucked him.
...Glen could've really been something.
...has already come and gone.
...he's coming through the windshield...
...heading towards Shelby Road at the approximate time of the accident.
...hitting that son of a bitch.
...how did you feel when he was released?
...how would he know?
...I feel like I should prep you before you meet Grandpa Palmer.
...I was gonna be the hero of my own story.
...I was gonna say that, uh...
...I'll be driving your gals home, so who lives closer? Uh...
...I'll save a piece of pie for you.
...if he lost his way.
...if I walk with a guilty client, it's on you.
...if it were determined that your mental actuality was diminished?
...in order to move on, and we did.
...is evidence that Mr. Blackwell was deliberately struck.
...is where I tried to kiss you and you fish hooked me.
...it was likely somebody was gonna get away with murder.
...it was washed out, and he turned around.
...Kentucky, 1979, to buy her.
...kettle corn and the world's largest steer.
...killing me for sure, maybe both of us.
...less than a third in evolution.
...like I'd want someone to help my boy...
...like you always do.
...made something of themselves.
...of a Wabash River float trip.
...on June 6th, 1894, in Wayne County, Indiana.
...on the charge of murder in the first degree?
...on the worst day of your life...
...only you're in your car with his blood on it...
...opened his disgusting mouth.
...or embezzle 140 million dollars while you're at it?
...or is it something you do on all cases you're about to lose?
...played Hide the Pickle with someone else.
...same recklessness.
...seeing Blackwell that night?
...she ain't buried more than 50 feet from Hope.
...six weeks we prepped Burke's mistress for the infamous Hank Palmer cross.
...stick with it.
...strong teeth, incestry gene pool...
...summers I interned at the public defender's office in Evansville.
...thanks for coming.
...that I don't remember hitting him.
...that Judge Palmer tried to slow his vehicle.
...that only you were allowed to drive that car.
...that someone. Is that so much to ask?
...that you presided over 17 murder trials...
...that you're familiar with the defendant and his stature in the community?
...that's a pretty big old boy, on a steel bicycle.
...the court finds probable cause to hold this over for trial.
...the most selfish and the most generous person I know.
...the prosecution maintains that a lack of brake marks...
...the understanding, the free ride goes to Mark Blackwell?
...then I must have clipped him.
...this trial happens right here in Carlinville.
...under oath, which I know you understand better than most...
...were ripped like the strip of fire above.
...who drowned a 16 year old girl...
...who was it?
...who's gonna do whatever he has to do to pretend that's not true.
...with a Ferrari, next to a loving wife...
...with no respect for the law. That's original.
...with the ass of a high school volleyballer.
...you enter the mini mart...
...you know, it takes a long time.
...you lose. Heh.
...you need to say with a straight face that you haven't had a drink in 28 years.
...you see a man you hate...
...you've altered your route...
