:38:00
I assume that's the infamous
change of venue motion.
:38:05
Ellen Roark. R-O-A-R-K.
:38:07
That's Roark in Boston, but it
seems to be Row-ark in Mississippi.
:38:10
Boston.
:38:11
I was born there. My father's
the notorious Sheldon Roark.
:38:15
Attorney to the stars, yes.
:38:17
Duly impressed.
:38:19
What brings you to Mississippi?
Slumming?
:38:22
No, law school at Old Miss.
:38:24
It's a family tradition.
:38:26
Mom was a sweet little sorority
girl there till Dad married her.
:38:31
I married a sweet little sorority
girl from Ol' Miss myself.
:38:34
They have an excellent selection.
:38:37
They do.
:38:38
No, really, what brings you to Canton?
They have cars to sit on on campus.
:38:42
Carl Lee Hailey.
:38:46
I'd like to help you.
:38:49
What makes you think I need help?
:38:51
You're trying one of the largest
murder cases these parts have seen...
:38:55
...and you work alone.
:38:56
You have no paralegals,
clerks, researchers...
:39:00
...nor can you afford any...
:39:02
...so if Noose doesn't
accept that motion...
:39:05
...you go to trial in less than a month.
Trust me, you need help.
:39:09
How do you know this?
:39:11
I'm an excellent researcher.
:39:13
I've played gofer for 7
capital murder cases...
:39:17
...l've witnessed 2 executions.
I have written briefs for the A.C.L.U.
:39:22
I'm top 5/ of my class, editor of the
law review, I'm published, I'm young.
:39:27
And when I graduate...
:39:28
...l intend to spend a glorious career
stomping out the death penalty.
:39:33
Let's see, what else?
:39:34
Genius runs in my family.
:39:36
You'll get me on the way up...
:39:38
...and I really think now
is a good time to grab me.
:39:43
Anything else I should know?
:39:45
Let's see, anything else?
:39:47
My father's rich so I'll work for free.
:39:52
What do you think?
:39:56
I think I'll drop this brief
off in Noose's night slot.
