:29:02
But you're the district attorney!
What about the Bachman girl?
:29:04
She's over the age of consent.
:29:06
But this connection
between them is an outrage.!
:29:09
It's a threat to every
decent home in America.
:29:12
Forgive me, Doctor,
but I must speak my mind.
:29:14
We can't pretend
that race is not the issue here...
:29:17
and I'm with you because
this man Jefferson does harm to his race.
:29:21
He confirms certain views of us
that you may already hold.
:29:24
That does us harm.
:29:27
But he also confirms
in many people of color...
:29:29
the belief that his life
is the desirable life...
:29:32
and that can do us
even greater harm.
:29:34
- Absolutely.
- That's right.
:29:36
Well, I'm grateful to you all
for your concern.
:29:42
You shouldn't
have come.
:29:44
A girl can't say no to a district attorney.
He was very polite.
:29:47
So you say "no" polite.
You think your family's in on this or what?
:29:51
No. They're just trying
to forget me now.
:29:54
Well, this is looking for trouble.
:29:56
I can't make any more
than I have already, can I?
:30:04
- Over there?
- Yes, and get down every word of it.
:30:07
If a good white hope showed up
and beat him, I wouldn't need to do this.
:30:11
A public servant has to
serve the public, Al.
:30:14
You ever have the screws
put on you like this in Washington?
:30:17
Oh, I don't think they'd even know
where to look for us.
:30:26
Come in.
:30:29
Good afternoon,
Miss Bachman.
:30:32
- Take a seat, please.
- Thank you.
:30:37
You understand, this is,
uh, just an informal inquiry.
:30:42
- Yes. I understand.
- Good.
:30:44
Now then, Miss Bachman...
:30:46
- I see you resumed your maiden
name after your divorce.
- That's right.
:30:50
- And you obtained your divorce
from Mr. Martin in Australia.
- Yes.
:30:54
- That's an odd place to go for a divorce.
- I have an aunt there.
:30:57
- I wanted to get away.
- Oh.
:30:59
- You hadn't met Mr. Jefferson
before your trip?
- No, I had not.
