Just Cause Edit

A $1.50 each.

A body every 100 miles.

A guy's on death row. He's asking you to put your money where your mouth is.

A neighbor on the row who's in for killing a little girl.

A teacher ID'd the car as looking somewhat like mine.

A waitress in the Keys...

About half the people in the courtroom were on a first name basis with that woman.

About the bare assed light bulb at 4 in the morning?

Agh, Bobby Earl! Ha, ha!

Agh!

Ah, hmm.

Ah. Now...

Ain't no cause and effect. It's just an appetite.

Ain't so pretty now, are you?

All cut up and thrown in the swamps. And he says:

All I had to do to take his crime was tell you where the knife was...

All right, now you, uh...

All right.

All right.

All those times Tanny Brown tried to bust me down?

Although, I don't imagine anything's gonna come of that particular crop...

Am I now?

Amazing Grace

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, if you will.

And a doctor is a god. You know that.

And Blair Sullivan?

And did you drive her to that location...

And during the autopsy, the liver is so hot that it can't be touched by human hands.

And forgive us our trespasses.

And he got the chair.

And he just felt wrong.

And he says, "You must be the sorriest fuck in this unit. "

And he talks her into his car because he's friendly when he needs to be.

And how is Libby's health these days?

And I am sorry for your grief.

And I said, "No.

And I saw her by the banyan tree.

And it was Grandma that came and got me and brought me here.

And now, from the bounty of the Lord...

And Officer Tanny Brown come and lock me up.

And then he does it.

And then he got real busy.

And then Officer Tanny Brown walked in.

And they wanted their revenge.

And what does he find when he gets here?

And what was the result?

And you said here that you examined Bobby Earl's hand...

And, bam, he goes berserk. I'm on my back seeing stars.

Another day at the office.

Any luck?

Anyone home?

Anything I can do?

Anyway, girl, someone is here so I'll speak to you later. All right, then.

Anyway, this is it.

Anyways...

APBs in three states, FBI flyers all over the place...

Are you aware that Robert Earl was picked up on kidnap charges...

Are you married?

Armstrong, you keep Sullivan alive.

Armstrong, you're a goddamn fool.

Armstrong?

Armstrong.

Armstrong.

Back to the salt mines.

Beaten with a phone book.

Beaten?

Because I saw him with her last night.

Because that's Tanny Brown's car. Everyone knows that.

Because you got that look.

Been a big week for me too.

Before we go back...

Big time sloppy.

Bitch, drive!

Bitch, that don't make up for what you did to me, does it?

Blair Sullivan, huh?

Blair Sullivan.

Blair Sullivan's directions.

Bobby Earl coached me a little bit on the details.

Bobby Earl Ferguson.

Bobby Earl, Bobby Earl. How does it feel being free?

Bobby Earl, we gotta talk.

Bobby Earl!

Bobby Earl.

Buried three husbands.

Business.

But damn if he didn't do a lot of damage to her after she was dead.

But how does what I'm telling you change his situation on death row?

But I would not want their deaths avenged...

But it was enough to convict and close the case.

But not me.

But now I'm found

But praise God...

But say I could help you find something?

But there's no record of any semen here.

But we'll meet again. I promise you.

But what you're not hearing is the fact...

But you couldn't see the side from here. Not if it was in that position.

But you never matched the dental plate to the cuts.

But, uh, I do have a question for you.

Buzz when you want out.

By "we," I meant me and the shining boy of the hour.

By Mr. Tanny Brown, the black hatingest police in Everglade County.

Can we have some more popcorn, please.

Can you imagine what it'd be like for me around here if I'd gotten him acquitted?

Carry on dancing.

Case went all the way to trial. You aware of that?

Change of venue, denied.

Cold hearted son of a bitch.

Come on in.

Come on, man, I want everything.

Come on, now, J.T., I need you to back me up on this one here.

Come on, pick it up.

Come on, stop. Stop fucking arou

Come on, talk to me, baby.

Come on, we'll find a maid.

Come on, Wilcox, pick up the damn phone.

Come on, you pretty motherfucker, talk to me.

Come on.

Come on.

Come, on. Tell me what you saw down there.

Congratulations. Got them all fooled, don't you?

Convince me that Bobby Earl deserves to die.

Country ass motherfucker.

Creative differences.

Daddy used to call us his girls.

Daddy!

Daddy!

Damn arrogant Yankee son of a bitch!

Damn.

Damn.

Death penalty. "

Delores Rodriguez, keeper of archives, news trivia expert.

Delores, sweetheart. Ha ha ha.

Despite its best efforts, this justice system has killed...

Did his killing while she was unconscious.

Did I?

Did my folks beat me, abuse me, sex me up?

Did you fuck her before or after you filleted her?

Did you kill her?

Did you kill Joanie Shriver?

Did you kill Joanie Shriver?

Did you know he was beaten for 22 hours before he gave his confession?

Did you think those fuckers would give a shit about justice?

Didn't take you but five minutes to get here...

Ding dong Let's get the rhythm of the head

Do it for me.

Do people live in a place like that?

Do you believe in Jesus?

Do you have any plans to leave the city?

Do you think any one of those people rolled out of bed...

Do you think if I'd gotten physical with old Bobby Earl...

Do you want to see what those fuckers did to me?

Does he?

Does that make you feel better?

Doing her was like carving up...

Dollar fifty. That's two bits shy a car wash.

Don't fuck with me, Armstrong. Sullivan is dead.

Don't know how to access information?

Don't lecture me about confessions, not after the way you got Bobby Earl's.

Don't let anyone touch that luggage. All right?

Don't try to hit nothing. Just point and squeeze.

Down here, if the chief head banger takes a dislike to you...

Ecclesiastes 11:1.

Ecclesiastes 11:1.

Eh, 1890...

Eh, I...

Eh, little old lady showed up tonight.

Eleven one. Chapter eleven, verse one.

Eleven years old. White girl.

Enough.

Even if I did, how would you know to believe me?

Even if you don't have a condition, you might have a situation.

Even us backwoods Florida State Law School alumni know...

Everything before that is still on microfiche.

Everything's going to be all right.

Fife, Scotland. First in your family to attend a university.

Find Mr. Paul Armstrong...

First you had evidence this way, now you got evidence that way.

For a great injustice is about to be undone!

Found a day later, ****d and cut up in the Glades.

Fuck Blair Sullivan and fuck you too.

Fuck you.

Fucking knot.

Funny thing is, you almost pulled it off, brother, you almost got away with it.

Get down. Get down, in case he sees you.

Get it off my mouth. He's out there.

Get that vehicle back in the street, Charlie. That's the last time I'm telling you.

Get your ass out of the water, Armstrong.

Give me Tanny's gun.

Give this to my sister. My man.

Give us this day our daily bread.

Go on. Take a look.

Go wash up for supper. Lena, is supper ready?

Goddamn it.

Goddamn you, Armstrong. You got a lot of explaining to do.

Goddamn.

Good.

Good.

Got a full scholarship to Cornell University...

Got away with what?

Grandma, why are they taking Bobby Earl?

Grandma.

Ha ha ha. "Holding it together. "

Ha ha ha. Takes me back to my youth.

Ha, ha. Hell.

Hang dog, show dog, I don't think it'd make any difference...

Hanging around with his pretty boy looks and his college boy words.

Harvard University. Do tell.

He called Bobby Earl an animal, ought to be take out and shot.

He calls me his last victim.

He couldn't stand to see me free, living the good life, so I killed the fucker.

He drives on and never gives it another thought.

He ended up in the hospital.

He needs a lawyer...

He paid dearly with everything else that happened to him.

He pushed her body in the water down here...

He said to me, "Go up to Cambridge, Massachusetts.

He said what I read.

He said when he came up on the car, he found Bobby Earl on top of her...

He said, if you turn me down...

He sat there, day after day, looking guilty as hell.

He says, "But, sir, I didn't do it. "

He stops, takes a siesta under a banyan tree just outside a schoolyard.

He was a very angry boy, that Bobby Earl.

He was in for dealing.

He was just leaving.

He'll be back in a few minutes. Would you care for some iced tea?

He's a black kid. Went to Cornell.

He's all yours.

He's black?

He's out there somewhere. Get Katie out of here. Hurry, quick.

He's out there. I don't know if he's gonna come back.

He's real mean.

Heh. I hope you took out that insurance option.

Heh. Oh.

Heh. Trying to get you some information.

Hell, Armstrong, you're starting to get all frantic and excited, just like Bobby Earl did.

Hell, I got less time than it takes to play a round of golf.

Hell, the rain's doing half the work for you.

Hell, you might not even wanna paint this over.

Hello, hello. Hello.

Hello?

Hello?

Hey there, Mr. Ferguson. Congratulations.

Hey, come here, honey. I'll talk to you...

Hey, I like them lightning bolts, though.

Hey, Mr. Phil.

Hey, Roz, what's up, baby?

Hey, Tanny, no, wait.

Hey. Hey. Sweet thing.

Hey. How about this?

Hi, sweetness.

His confession don't mean shit unless he testifies in court.

His confession was coerced.

Hmm?

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm.

Horseplay. Gossip. Sweet.

House or an apartment?

How about a phone book?

How can you be so sure?

How did my folks look? Hmm?

How did my folks look? Hmm?

How did they smell?

How did they smell?

How did this testimony survive cross examination?

How did you explain the eye?

How long will that take?

How many times did she have dinner in this house, sleep over with your daughter?

How sweet the sound

How was your life different after that, if the case was thrown out?

How would I feel? Heh.

How?

How'd you get this number?

Hurry up.

Hurry.

I ain't gonna tell you if killed that little girl or not.

I ain't staying nowhere.

I beat on him with a rubber hose?

I brought him the news.

I came back with nothing, he threw the case out.

I can dig around the back and see what else I can find.

I can get there by myself.

I can hear him, professor, I can hear him every night.

I can tell.

I can touch anyone I want to!

I checked it with the duty sergeant.

I did. I told you when I met you.

I didn't do it.

I didn't know if it would influence you.

I didn't wanna go out without a fight...

I don't follow you.

I don't know this girl.

I don't think so. You gotta take better care of your stuff.

I don't understand exactly what kind of hidden agenda...

I don't wanna see that happen.

I done killed so many goddamn people...

I find that a naive statement, counselor.

I gave Bobby Earl life...

I get a free ride, they get a better image.

I go to bed with this every night. Her waving.

I gotta call Mom and Dad.

I graduated first in my high school class.

I had some unfinished business out there.

I hate pretty motherfuckers like you.

I have a confession from Sullivan on tape and it is evidence.

I have no reason to lie to you. I don't know this girl.

I just wanted to show the good old boys how good I was.

I just wanted you to know what a real...

I know I wouldn't.

I know my job, Mr. Armstrong.

I know.

I know. I'm sorry.

I love you too.

I loved Joanie Shriver like she was my own.

I mean, maybe this one is worth checking out.

I miss her.

I never had the pleasure of making that sweet little girl's acquaintance.

I once was lost

I paid for it dearly. I've lost half my business because I defended that son of a bitch.

I remember how we used to talk about opening up a pet shop together.

I said, "You'll have to plead guilty, take a 25 year hit.

I see your Monarch...

I submit to you, the issue is revenge.

I tell you something else.

I thought you might be interested in recovering the knife.

I told you I had power.

I tried telling them there ain't no formula for people like me.

I tried, sir. Truly, I tried.

I want to ask you...

I want to see Robert Earl go to the chair for what he did.

I want you to call on them.

I want you to make it right for him.

I want you to say goodbye for me.

I want you to stay on his tail. Don't jump that rabbit until I give you the green light.

I was high school valedictorian.

I was hot for it. Thought I had the case locked tight.

I was solid to myself when I said it.

I was starting to think to myself, "Maybe the man is onto something. Maybe. "

I was working in juvenile detention center this morning with this kid, Carlos.

I wish you had been as vivid describing the victims.

I would like I would like to propose a toast.

I would've confessed to anything and they just spoon fed me to the row.

I'd been plea bargaining everything that came across my desk for six months.

I'd say six inches from hilt to tip.

I'd sooner go to hell than into another courtroom.

I'll see you in Washington.

I'm a graduate of Florida State myself.

I'm afraid, in fact, I'm gonna have to leave now.

I'm gonna be all over you like white on rice, boy. You hear?

I'm gonna tell you something, worst thing in that courtroom was Bobby Earl himself.

I'm happy for both of us.

I'm impressed.

I'm innocent. I'm innocent.

I'm just trying to get some information.

I'm no friend of capital punishment...

I'm only trying to get at what happened.

I'm saving Katie for dessert.

I'm sitting at the Sullivan house and I wanna tell you...

I'm sorry, I can't.

I'm sorry, there's no answer.

I'm sure you're lying, cocksucker! No!

I'm thinking about going to the University of Virginia.

I've been thinking about you all day today, sweetheart.

I've got all your numbers.

I've read it.

Idle hands are the devil's workshop.

If there was no semen, how did you establish the O positive blood?

If you're unable to buzz, don't worry about it.

Imagine...

In closing, professor...

Is something wrong with your hands all of a sudden?

Is that what you teach your law students up there? "The truth will prevail"?

It ain't over yet! You got the trials of Job ahead of you!

It ain't over yet! You got to

It is safer.

It seemed like the car to me.

It was just a ride. In fact, she asked me for that ride.

It's a funny thing about small town Florida people, professor.

It's a surprise.

It's been 25 years.

It's been a big week for you.

It's been a long time. Ha, ha.

It's called affirmative action.

It's good for the soul.

It's kind of a nighttime thing.

It's like a base camp for gator hunters.

It's like a death sentence on top of a death sentence.

It's like he just went stone crazy.

It's not a bad paper as papers go...

It's not a popularity contest.

It's not you I've been waiting for and thinking about the last eight years.

It's signed, "Your friend Blair Sullivan. "

It's the same way Tanny Brown felt justified looking for me when

It's very good.

Joined Jackson, Boll & Manheim, 1970. 1980 to the present...

Judge, even that know nothing Harvard fool, huh?

Judges 16:30.

Jury didn't care.

Just as easy as dialing the telephone!

Just one moment, sir.

Katie, are you packed?

KATIE: Hi, Grandpa. LAURIE: Mom.

KATIE: Mom, can we sleep outside tonight?

Katie. Katie. Sweetie, get the phone.

Keep your eyes open, Armstrong. We're in his backyard now.

Kids?

Killing is easy for me. How hard do you think lying is?

Late April, early May.

Later, I found out that they beat him real bad that night.

Laurie Prentiss, assistant DA.

Laurie! Laurie!

Laurie.

Least we'll be able to sleep at night.

Leave him be, you cracker son of a bitch!

Let me ask you, your autopsy report states that the girl was ****d.

Let me tell you a few things, Armstrong. One, I am filled with power.

Let me tell you what a scholarship is for someone like me.

Let them go. You have me now.

Let's see if we can get you some information.

Let's shake up that cage a little bit, son!

Let's start.

Let's the the rhythm of the head Ding dong

Like crabs in a bucket, black or white.

Like that knife, Paul?

Like what?

Listen, I don't know no Joanie Shriver.

Listen, it's 25 years since I practiced law.

Listen.

Listen. Hey. It's all right. It's all right.

Look here...

Look where you at.

Look, Armstrong, you and I both know it wasn't a textbook confession, all right?

Look, Armstrong...

Look, I'm sorry. I no longer practice law.

Look, we must've had 50, 60 volunteers...

Looks like you got a busy afternoon lined up, Mr. Armstrong.

Made to piss myself, kicked.

Magna from Cambridge. Columbia Law.

Man, Sullivan must have bust a gut the minute he seen you coming.

Many thanks for your time.

Many thanks for your time.

May I see your left ankle?

Maybe a little too perfect.

Maybe she'll let us back in the room if you ask her nicely.

Midnight blue.

Miss Conklin, may I ask you one last question?

Mm, be my guest.

Mm, uh, front, rear, side?

Mm. "Murder one.

Mm. I see.

Mm. This is a long way.

Mom.

Momma called the doctor And the doctor said

Momma called the doctor And the doctor said

Mommy, where are we going?

Mommy, where's Daddy?

More of Sullivan's correspondence.

Most everyone was gone.

Motion to suppress a confession, denied.

Move your hand or I'll cut her head off. Get in there.

Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Armstrong.

Mr. Armstrong, no matter what you may think of me as a lawyer...

Mr. Armstrong?

Mr. Armstrong.

Mr. Armstrong...

Mr. McNair.

My attorney, Mr. Lyle Morgan.

My confession? I was slapped. I was punched.

My folks' place.

My grandma for never giving up hope, and Professor Paul Armstrong.

My grandson. They got him down south in a Florida prison on death row...

My life was different after that.

My star witness, the arresting officer.

Never did a little hit and run with the BMW?

Nice town.

No food, no water, no sleep. No bathroom.

No way.

No, but, uh, if it is the murder weapon...

No, Grandma, he too busy a man...

No, ha, ha, man.

No, I can't come back tonight.

No, I refuse to believe in any god or government...

No, it's my turn now!

No, it's my turn now!

No, it's my turn now! Come on.

No, Laurie, you want me to make it right for you.

No, no, don't get Mommy just yet.

No, no, you keep it. It's got your name on it.

No, Paul. It was more than that.

No, sir.

No, sir.

No, sir. Not Tanny Brown.

No, thanks. I'm quite happy to get out of the real world.

No, you must have got me confused with some other idiot.

No, you read it now.

No!

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. The governor gave him a stay of execution.

North, south. South, north.

Not dark blue? Black?

Not this time, Armstrong.

Nothing further.

Now I'm going to do me these two lovely ladies of yours.

Now, get the keys out. All right?

Now, give me that head! That's it!

Now, I wanna remind you all of next Sunday's fish fry.

Now, I'm gonna ask you nicely, son.

Now, if I really talked with that kind of verbal buck and shuffle...

Now, look here...

Now, they've got black cops to torment your black ass.

Now, we need to split up. I'm gonna go around back, all right?

Now, what I need to know from you is how do you want to die, first or last?

Now, why didn't you bring in an expert to analyze his voice on the tape?

Now, you be careful. You're way beyond your perimeters.

Now, you listen to me.

Now...

Objection to an all white jury, overruled. Noted for the record.

Ochopee.

Oh, come on, big man like you. You can scream louder than that.

Oh, God.

Oh, he's, uh, holding it together.

Oh, how convenient.

Oh, I love you.

Oh, I told her my husband was a wife beater.

Oh, I will. No doubt about that.

Oh, I'd love to, but I can't. I made other plans.

Oh, it's not you that I want, professor. Is it, Laurie?

Oh, shit.

Oh, that depends, sweetheart. You'll be amazed at what I can do with a little help.

Oh, um...

Oh, what the hell is he doing now?

Oh, yeah, you're really onto something now, Armstrong.

Oh, yes.

Oh, you saw Tyrone?

Ohh...

Okay, I'll do it for you.

Okay.

Okay. Why not? Okay.

On, no, I left him. Angus.

Once, twice or what?

One tries to climb out and the others hop on his back and pull him back down.

One, two, three, four, five.

Or that piece of chicken you got on the side, "Here's $300, get it taken care of. "

Otherwise, we'd have seen stab wounds on her hands...

Over a hundred years of progress.

Over the years, other witnesses to electrocutions...

Painting and writing letters to the families of his victims...

Parts of her chest and abdomen were so badly damaged...

Pathetic.

Paul needs to see what you've got on the Joanie Shriver murder trial.

Paul, all I'm saying is that...

Paul, did you really read this?

Paul, how did the debate go?

Paul.

Pensacola, when was that?

PHIL: Hey, Laurie. LAURIE: Dad.

PHIL: Oh, I see them. LIBBY: There they are.

Pity.

Please, let Katie go.

Please?

Please.

Please. He is not telling you the truth. You know he's lying.

Pretty little girl.

Pretty Robert Earl.

Professor? Listen up.

Prosecution's case collapsed, uh, on a technicality, I believe.

Punch it! Punch it! Bitch, you better drive! Punch it!

Raise your arms, please.

Really onto something.

Really?

Really?

Right like that there.

Right there in the Glades.

Robert Earl made this right here...

Same as Peter did to Jesus before the cock crowed.

Scared me to death.

Scared you to death?

Scream! Scream!

See that second house there with the blue trim?

See, I pushed the buttons to make you do the dance...

See, my mother OD'd on heroin when I was 13 up in Newark.

See, Tanny's a ****a who likes being a big fish

Sergeant Rogers?

She take care of my kids, man. They don't let me make phone calls.

She walked back...

She walked past the car, then turned...

She was the prosecutor on Robert Earl's kidnap trial in Dade. Ring any bells?

She'd have wanted to go that way, but he took her this way.

She's a pretty thing.

She's just a little girl.

She's known around here as a very fine physician.

She's something else, coming up on that bus like that.

Shut up!

Shut up!

Sick in bed

Sick in bed

Side.

Sir, it's no game. It's...

Sit your ass down.

Small town police don't do their homework?

Snatched from the front of the Ochopee Elementary School, March 4, 1986.

So far, we are online back to 1985.

So far.

So he made you go to trial, hmm?

So he says.

So how do you like Grandma, huh?

So how's old Bobby Earl doing?

So I want you to sleep with Mommy.

So I'm not gonna waste my time trying.

So tell me...

So the cuts on his hand could have been from the beating. No?

So, what do you want to talk to an old bad guy like me for?

Some people to see, yes.

Something important.

Something interesting. Real important.

Son of a bitch admits they were high school sweethearts.

Sorry, J.T.

Sorry, sir, no messages.

Souls of Black Folk, Du Bois.

Speak into the microphone, Robert Earl.

Spoke on the phone about hooking up with Tanny Brown?

Starting to get the picture, huh?

Starting to see it with Joanie Shriver's eyes?

Stayed right frosty to the end.

Step down here, please, will you?

Stop it!

Stop touching her.

Strange fruit, indeed.

Suddenly he opened his eyes and began gasping for air...

Sullivan...

Sure you know the governor signed my death warrant.

Sweet Jesus.

Take a ride.

Talk to me, Bobby Earl.

Talk to me.

Talk to who?

Talking about the Bible. Ha ha ha.

Tanny Brown had nothing to do with your arrest in Dade County.

Tanny Brown.

Tanny said he'd hook up with you this afternoon if you're still around.

Tanny.

Tape recorder.

Telephone for you, Daddy.

Tell me about my folks. That was the deal.

Tell me about your confession.

Tell me everything. Come on. Spare me nothing.

Tell me, what is your policy on taking guns into the interrogation room?

Tell me. This, uh, matching blood statement by Dr. Doliveau...

Tell them I love them...

Tells me her grandson's on death row down in Florida.

Ten four.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, professor.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That being with her was "like carving up a ripe melon. "

That day it was about 10 after 3.

That is Look, I got an office.

That is what you've came down here for, isn't it?

That jury is not gonna disregard the boy's own words.

That saved a wretch like me

That very bad man moves on down the line.

That was bullshit.

That was bullshit. I took some white girl for a ride in my car.

That was close. Paul. Paul.

That way we won't jeopardize my legal position.

That white judge, he was 87 years old.

That you might not take the case and you might not help this kid.

That's a culvert. They run under the roads. Keep them from washing away.

That's a tree, no?

That's all the justification they needed.

That's good. That's very good.

That's hers.

That's Joanie and me.

That's Laurie's car. I think Bobby Earl has them.

That's murder one.

That's right.

That's the lot?

That's the real world?

That's the row. Death row.

That's three lies.

That's what put me on the row and eight years later, that's what made me free.

The car was parked under that tree?

The charge was kidnapping.

The cuts were...

The end.

The firm's been much more successful...

The Gideons love us.

The guy started out with his landlady in New Orleans...

The knife. So now all of a sudden, you're Sherlock Holmes, huh?

The maid wouldn't take Angus, would she?

The man's an idiot.

The nature of the wounds curved upward.

The old girl said you was gonna be coming up in here.

The police? No, they didn't. They just showed me a photo.

The sin is pride.

The trials of Job!

The trials of Job! The sin is pride, you motherfucker...

The warden and all present completely lost their wits...

Then he just started spitting it out, like a goddamn machine.

Then he spots a little girl.

Then he starts laughing.

Then how did I know where to look for it?

There a 2 a. m. bus leaving for Princeton from the Trailways station.

There been so many.

There isn't a day that goes by that I still don't talk to her.

There you go.

There you go.

There's no one beyond my reach! You hear me? No one!

These give me nightmares. I never let them out. Can't even read them.
