1:08:02
How can that be?
1:08:04
We're in a depression.
A third of the country's out of work.
1:08:08
People are drifting by the thousands,
looking for jobs, for greener grass.
1:08:12
Even a giant like Coffey
wouldn't get noticed everywhere.
1:08:16
Not until he kills
a couple of little girls.
1:08:19
He is. . .
1:08:21
. . .strange, I admit.
1:08:23
But there doesn't seem to be
any real violence in him.
1:08:28
I know violent men, Mr. Hammersmith.
1:08:30
I deal with them day in and day out.
1:08:34
You didn't come to ask me
whether he killed before.
1:08:36
You came to see if I think
he did it at all.
1:08:41
Do you?
1:08:43
One seldom sees a less ambiguous case.
1:08:46
He was found with the victims
in his arms.
1:08:48
And yet you defended him.
1:08:50
Everyone is entitled to a defense.
1:08:53
Kids! Lunch!
1:08:55
Y'all listen to your mama!
1:09:01
I'll tell you something.
1:09:03
You listen close too, because it
might be something you need to know.
1:09:07
I'm listening.
1:09:10
We had us a dog.
1:09:12
Just a sweet mongrel.
1:09:14
You know the kind.
1:09:16
Well, in many ways,
a good mongrel dog is like a Negro.
1:09:21
You get to know it.
1:09:23
Often, you get to love it.
It is of no particular use. . .
1:09:27
. . .but you keep it around
because you think it loves you.
1:09:32
If you're lucky, Mr. Edgecomb, you
never have to find out any different.
1:09:37
My wife and I were not so lucky.
1:09:41
Caleb, come here for a second.
1:09:44
Come here.
1:09:46
Please, son.
1:09:49
He still has the one good eye.
1:09:52
I suppose he's lucky. . .
1:09:55
. . .not to be completely blind.
