Threats.
:56:03
You know Bud has survived two strokes.
I don't think he'd survive a third.
:56:07
Why didn't you tell me?
:56:10
Why, Jake?
:56:12
Would you drop the case?
:56:19
Jake Brigance's office.
:56:21
Until they cut the phones off.
:56:24
Oh, right.
:56:29
That was Sheriff Walls.
You better get down to the jail.
:56:40
What's going on here?
:56:42
I'm lsaiah Street.
:56:44
Jake Brigance.
:56:47
I believe you know Reverend Agee.
:56:49
And this is...
:56:51
Norman Reinfeld, I've seen
your picture in the paper.
:56:54
I assume these boys carry your things.
:56:57
Just a small part of
my legal defense team.
:57:00
Pleasure, Mr. Brigance.
:57:03
If it's a party, where's the beer?
:57:06
Otherwise...
:57:07
...your being here seems a bit like
illegal client solicitation...
:57:10
...with Carl Lee
already having a lawyer.
:57:13
Just a minute.
:57:14
Carl Lee invited us here.
:57:19
Mr. Brigance...
:57:21
...let me be frank.
:57:23
Mr. Hailey's case has
far-reaching ramifications.
:57:27
Carl Lee's acquittal for
killing 2 white men...
:57:30
...would do more for
black people than...
:57:32
...any event since we
integrated the schools.
:57:36
His conviction, on the other
hand, will be a slap at us.
:57:39
A symbol of deep-seated racism.
:57:41
Perhaps enough to ignite a nation.
:57:44
See how important this case is?
:57:46
Enter Mr. Reinfeld's death squad, right?
:57:49
It's an unfortunate
nickname, but apropo.
:57:53
My lawyers and I handle
only capital murder cases.
:57:57
Of all your cases...
:57:58
...how many are supposed to be
lost so you can martyr the victim?
