1
00:00:33,950 --> 00:00:37,245
Well, here I am
at the Showstreet Palace Theater
2
00:00:37,328 --> 00:00:38,246
at Dollywood.
3
00:00:38,329 --> 00:00:41,583
Thus, the Hollywood glam.
4
00:00:41,666 --> 00:00:43,626
The showgirl glam I should say.
5
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:46,880
Hollywood, Dollywood.
Well, that's all the same to me.
6
00:00:46,963 --> 00:00:49,716
You know, when I was growing up here
in the Great Smoky Mountains
7
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:52,177
my family couldn't afford
to go to the theater,
8
00:00:52,260 --> 00:00:54,888
and it was years
before we even owned a television.
9
00:00:55,096 --> 00:00:59,225
So, when I was just a little bitty thing,
I started writing songs that told stories
10
00:00:59,309 --> 00:01:03,146
about people that I would have liked
to see up there on the big screen.
11
00:01:03,438 --> 00:01:04,522
Now, for me,
12
00:01:04,606 --> 00:01:08,276
writing songs is like making
my own little movies with my guitar.
13
00:01:08,693 --> 00:01:13,615
Now, one of the characters I wrote about
was a real mountain woman named Bones.
14
00:01:13,782 --> 00:01:14,908
And many years ago,
15
00:01:14,991 --> 00:01:16,785
I wrote a song about her called
16
00:01:16,868 --> 00:01:18,078
"These Old Bones."
17
00:01:18,203 --> 00:01:21,790
Now, she lived alone up in the mountains
and she carried around a pouch
18
00:01:21,873 --> 00:01:23,666
filled with animal and bird bones.
19
00:01:23,792 --> 00:01:25,251
Now, they'd tell her things,
20
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:27,462
kind of like reading tea leaves.
21
00:01:27,712 --> 00:01:30,465
And she could see things
that regular people couldn't see.
22
00:01:30,548 --> 00:01:32,509
Well, she had the gift of clairvoyance.
23
00:01:32,592 --> 00:01:35,261
Why, she even told me once
that I was anointed.
24
00:01:35,345 --> 00:01:38,181
I didn't know what that word meant,
but she said it meant
25
00:01:38,264 --> 00:01:40,517
that I was going to do big things someday,
26
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,354
and that I had a special gift
that I needed to share with the world.
27
00:01:44,729 --> 00:01:45,939
And I took that serious.
28
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:49,025
And I'm humbled that she was right.
29
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,945
And now, bringing things full circle,
30
00:01:52,195 --> 00:01:54,948
I get to share her emotional journey
with you.
31
00:01:55,031 --> 00:02:00,787
So, gather around with your family
and enjoy my story of "These Old Bones."

Hmm.
49
00:03:33,671 --> 00:03:36,674
Huh.
Those buckshot holes came from her side.
50
00:03:37,508 --> 00:03:38,843
She really means business.
51
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:40,762
You fixing to turn back?
52
00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:43,014
Just pointing it out.
53
00:03:43,848 --> 00:03:45,600
She don't need a shotgun anyways,
54
00:03:45,934 --> 00:03:46,935
she's a witch.
55
00:03:47,894 --> 00:03:49,812
Bluetick hound, a couple of goats
56
00:03:49,896 --> 00:03:53,024
and a one-eyed cat
that always watch kids like us
57
00:03:53,274 --> 00:03:54,734
'til she cast a spell on 'em.
58
00:03:55,443 --> 00:03:57,820

Sorry.
67
00:04:29,185 --> 00:04:31,062
It's gonna make some jack-o'-lantern.
68
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:32,105
Yeah.
69
00:04:32,188 --> 00:04:34,899
Me and Buddy will do the dirty work.
You stay and guard the shack.
70
00:05:45,053 --> 00:05:46,053
Well?
71
00:05:47,138 --> 00:05:49,474
Should I sell to that big timber outfit
or not?
72
00:05:50,933 --> 00:05:53,102
Well, these here bones are telling me
73
00:05:53,811 --> 00:05:56,314
there's hard times ahead
for those who sell.
74
00:05:58,691 --> 00:06:00,985
Look, I don't make no future happen.
75
00:06:01,652 --> 00:06:03,780
I just tries to help everybody.
76
00:06:05,948 --> 00:06:07,283
What is it, Blue?
77
00:06:14,457 --> 00:06:16,667
Run! Run!
78
00:06:17,293 --> 00:06:19,545
Off my land, you little pecker woods!
79
00:06:20,296 --> 00:06:23,841
Or I'll catch you,
and I'll eat you for Halloween! Ha!
80
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:40,316
May be a little unusual, Henry,
81
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,153
but I think we have the perfect associate
for this matter.
82
00:06:46,614 --> 00:06:48,783
She was actually born and raised
in that region.
83
00:06:50,785 --> 00:06:52,453
- She?
- Hear me out.
84
00:06:57,750 --> 00:06:59,001
UVA law school.
85
00:06:59,335 --> 00:07:00,545
Top third of her class,
86
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,672
ambitious, hard worker, smart.
87
00:07:03,297 --> 00:07:04,382
Holds our own here.
88
00:07:05,049 --> 00:07:07,009
I don't know, Noah.
89
00:07:07,093 --> 00:07:09,333
That's why I want you to meet her.
90
00:07:10,054 --> 00:07:11,472
You asked to see me, Mr. Heatherly.
91
00:07:11,556 --> 00:07:13,599
Genevieve,
I'd like you to meet Henry Sullivan,
92
00:07:13,683 --> 00:07:16,060
President
of Mountainside Land & Timber Company.
93
00:07:16,978 --> 00:07:19,564
Pleasure, sir.
Longtime clients are very special.
94
00:07:19,647 --> 00:07:21,065
- How do you do?
- Please.
95
00:07:26,154 --> 00:07:27,405
I'd like to be...
96
00:07:28,322 --> 00:07:29,699
very direct, Miss...
97
00:07:32,785 --> 00:07:33,785
Carson.
98
00:07:35,371 --> 00:07:39,917
Practicing law is not like riveting B-52s
on some factory floor.
99
00:07:40,001 --> 00:07:41,836
God willing,
all our boys will be home soon.
100
00:07:41,919 --> 00:07:44,881
- Perhaps if we wait a while...
- Respectfully, sir, I'd suggest not.
101
00:07:46,090 --> 00:07:47,175
Oh?
102
00:07:48,176 --> 00:07:49,093
And why would that be?
103
00:07:49,177 --> 00:07:54,140
Mountainside is trying to buy property
in Rockdale County to expand, correct?
104
00:07:54,974 --> 00:07:56,517
I've studied your paperwork,
105
00:07:56,601 --> 00:07:58,352
and waiting will only make it
more difficult
106
00:07:58,436 --> 00:07:59,854
to acquire the land you want.
107
00:07:59,937 --> 00:08:03,608
So, you would also be aware then
that this mountain lady,
108
00:08:03,983 --> 00:08:06,611
who fancies herself
some kind of a fortune-teller,
109
00:08:06,777 --> 00:08:08,821
has become an obstacle
to our business interests.
110
00:08:08,905 --> 00:08:12,533
Bones. And she will continue to talk
more neighbors out of selling their land
111
00:08:12,617 --> 00:08:13,617
the longer you wait.
112
00:08:14,035 --> 00:08:15,912
- You know her?
- By reputation.
113
00:08:16,370 --> 00:08:18,122
She's an east-sider in my hometown.
114
00:08:19,457 --> 00:08:20,457
Hmm.
115
00:08:22,168 --> 00:08:26,172
We'd prefer to settle this out of court,
but we are considering a civil lawsuit.
116
00:08:26,255 --> 00:08:27,298
Understood.
117
00:08:27,673 --> 00:08:30,176
But there is also the matter of fraud.
118
00:08:30,843 --> 00:08:31,843
Fraud?
119
00:08:32,428 --> 00:08:34,931
- Talking about the fortune-telling thing.
- Exactly.
120
00:08:35,306 --> 00:08:37,475
Winning our lawsuit
on those additional grounds
121
00:08:37,558 --> 00:08:39,918
would make her vulnerable
to criminal charges of witchcraft.
122
00:08:39,977 --> 00:08:42,104
The county still has statutes
on the books.
123
00:08:42,313 --> 00:08:45,107
Pretty good leverage
for settling out of court, I'd say.
124
00:08:47,443 --> 00:08:50,321
So, you have no apprehension
about returning to your hometown
125
00:08:50,863 --> 00:08:51,989
to settle this matter?
126
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:56,744
I know these people, Mr. Sullivan.
127
00:08:57,036 --> 00:08:58,704
They do not trust outsiders.
128
00:08:59,247 --> 00:09:03,918
But I am ready, willing, and uniquely able
129
00:09:04,001 --> 00:09:06,587
to take care of this matter promptly
on your behalf.
130
00:09:07,171 --> 00:09:08,171
Just say the word.
131
00:09:21,018 --> 00:09:22,061
Oh.
132
00:09:23,020 --> 00:09:25,273
Hey, save some of that sugar for me.
133
00:09:25,731 --> 00:09:30,528
Oh. Oh, baby, we've missed you so.
I like what you've done with your hair.
134
00:09:30,611 --> 00:09:32,113
Has it been that long?
135
00:09:32,196 --> 00:09:34,116
Yeah.
Wish you'd come around more often.
136
00:09:34,198 --> 00:09:36,158
Well, with the war and work,
137
00:09:36,242 --> 00:09:38,595
I have to be twice the man
just to hold my ground, you know.
138
00:09:38,619 --> 00:09:41,122
Mmm. We're just glad your home.
139
00:09:41,205 --> 00:09:45,084
Even if it took a meeting to get you here.
Now, what's that all about, anyhow?
140
00:09:45,167 --> 00:09:46,167
Well...
141
00:09:47,086 --> 00:09:49,006
you know that old woman
who lives on the mountain
142
00:09:49,046 --> 00:09:50,840
out past the eastside, Bones?
143
00:09:50,923 --> 00:09:52,963
- Are you talking about Miss Mary?
- Oh, that's her.
144
00:09:53,009 --> 00:09:56,049
I remember they used to tell stories
about her in school, called her a witch.
145
00:09:56,387 --> 00:09:57,513
- Oh.
- What about her?
146
00:09:57,597 --> 00:09:59,807
Well, it seems she's been advising
her neighbors
147
00:09:59,890 --> 00:10:01,767
not to sell their land to our client.
148
00:10:01,976 --> 00:10:03,978
No harm in that, is there? Free country.
149
00:10:04,103 --> 00:10:07,273
Well, it's holding up
Mountainside's expansion plans.
150
00:10:07,356 --> 00:10:08,458
I intend to settle it with her.
151
00:10:08,482 --> 00:10:10,682
You know, it could be a big boost
to Danville's economy.
152
00:10:11,152 --> 00:10:13,029
Maybe folks like it as it is.
153
00:10:14,530 --> 00:10:17,241
I don't wanna argue about it.
They just want me to talk to her.
154
00:10:17,325 --> 00:10:20,244
There's no reason why we can't come
to a reasonable accord.
155
00:10:21,912 --> 00:10:25,207
Oh, there's my suitcase.
One with the blue ribbon. Thanks, Daddy.
156
00:10:26,167 --> 00:10:27,251
I'm glad you're here.
157
00:10:51,692 --> 00:10:52,860
Come on, son, let's go.
158
00:10:53,361 --> 00:10:54,862
What if she shoots at us?
159
00:10:55,071 --> 00:10:56,071
We duck.
160
00:10:56,530 --> 00:10:58,032
She's really scary,
161
00:10:58,324 --> 00:11:00,576
maybe even a witch,
and I'm not lying, Daddy.
162
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:02,340
I don't care
if she's a six-headed monster,
163
00:11:02,370 --> 00:11:04,664
you're still gonna go in there,
apologize and make amends.
164
00:11:05,164 --> 00:11:07,166
A man takes responsibility
for his actions.
165
00:11:07,249 --> 00:11:09,085
Now, get it moving, son.
166
00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:28,269
Howdy, ma'am.
167
00:11:28,562 --> 00:11:30,898
My name is Landon Rayfield
and this is my bo...
168
00:11:32,483 --> 00:11:33,693
This is my boy Jonah.
169
00:11:33,984 --> 00:11:36,779
Sorry to bother you,
but he's got something he'd like to say.
170
00:11:39,448 --> 00:11:40,448
S... Sorry.
171
00:11:41,951 --> 00:11:43,411
I don't think she heard you, son.
172
00:11:45,454 --> 00:11:46,664
I... I'm sorry, ma'am.
173
00:11:47,665 --> 00:11:49,375
For being the lookout.
174
00:11:49,458 --> 00:11:52,712
'Cause it wasn't me
trying... trying to steal your pumpkin.
175
00:12:02,221 --> 00:12:03,681
You boys like pumpkin pie?
176
00:12:10,604 --> 00:12:12,982
Come on in, sit yourself down.
177
00:12:13,691 --> 00:12:15,901
Let's see what I have left.
178
00:12:17,278 --> 00:12:20,281
Had enough pumpkin to make a pie
and then some.
179
00:12:21,699 --> 00:12:23,459
Make yourself comfortable.
180
00:12:24,493 --> 00:12:25,494
Here we go.
181
00:12:27,163 --> 00:12:28,163
Now.
182
00:12:32,334 --> 00:12:34,378
This toad sticker...
183
00:12:35,421 --> 00:12:38,716
was given me by Lester Sell.
184
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,552
Yeah, when I warned him
185
00:12:41,886 --> 00:12:44,472
about a crop killing frost.
186
00:12:45,097 --> 00:12:46,097
Yeah.
187
00:12:46,432 --> 00:12:49,769
Comes in mighty handy at times.
188
00:12:50,728 --> 00:12:51,604
You a hunter?
189
00:12:51,687 --> 00:12:52,897
Oh, Lord, no.
190
00:12:53,272 --> 00:12:56,150
I'd rather starve
than kill one of God's creatures.
191
00:12:57,526 --> 00:12:58,569
What about chickens?
192
00:13:00,571 --> 00:13:01,697
They's chickens.
193
00:13:02,698 --> 00:13:03,949
You ever shoot a chicken?
194
00:13:04,658 --> 00:13:05,658
Well, me neither.
195
00:13:05,701 --> 00:13:10,372
No, as long as you bless them
before you wring their neck,
196
00:13:10,748 --> 00:13:12,208
it's all right with the Lord.
197
00:13:15,711 --> 00:13:16,754
Mind the buckshot.
198
00:13:18,088 --> 00:13:20,424
We do appreciate your hospitality, ma'am,
199
00:13:20,508 --> 00:13:22,635
but the real reason we're here is because,
200
00:13:23,135 --> 00:13:25,135
well, Jonah would like to try
to make things right.
201
00:13:26,764 --> 00:13:28,432
Well, let me think on that a bit.
202
00:13:29,850 --> 00:13:32,144
I suppose, I've got about a...
203
00:13:33,062 --> 00:13:35,940
weeks' worth of chores around the place.
204
00:13:36,690 --> 00:13:39,735
I need me a new "no trespassing" sign.
205
00:13:40,361 --> 00:13:42,571
Mine got a might shot up.
206
00:13:43,531 --> 00:13:44,740
Can you print good?
207
00:13:44,865 --> 00:13:46,200
Well, if... if I have to.
208
00:13:46,408 --> 00:13:47,408
You have to.
209
00:13:48,953 --> 00:13:51,664
It's a good thing you done,
bringing your boy up here.
210
00:13:52,331 --> 00:13:54,375
Now, do I look like a witch to you?
211
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,000
Uh...
212
00:13:56,377 --> 00:13:57,377
N... No, ma'am.
213
00:13:57,545 --> 00:14:00,798
Well, then I appreciate it,
I'd be obliged if you would pass it along
214
00:14:00,881 --> 00:14:02,341
to the other little weevils.
215
00:14:03,050 --> 00:14:04,718
Alls I ever try and do is help people.
216
00:14:05,219 --> 00:14:06,637
Well, I assure you he will.
217
00:14:08,013 --> 00:14:12,017
You know, ever since old Shelby passed,
218
00:14:12,476 --> 00:14:15,187
folks in town been saying
we need a new lawyer.
219
00:14:17,565 --> 00:14:18,899
I reckon you'll do.
220
00:14:20,025 --> 00:14:21,026
Now, how'd you know?
221
00:14:23,487 --> 00:14:25,127
Shouldn't we have to be going now, Daddy?
222
00:14:25,155 --> 00:14:27,074
- Hold on, Jasper.
- Jonah.
223
00:14:28,450 --> 00:14:29,577
Come this Saturday,
224
00:14:29,785 --> 00:14:32,580
I'll have a list of chores
ready and waiting for you.
225
00:14:33,372 --> 00:14:34,372
He'll be here.
226
00:14:34,707 --> 00:14:35,707
Thank you, ma'am.
227
00:14:42,715 --> 00:14:45,634
And, uh, since I'm relatively new in town,
228
00:14:45,718 --> 00:14:47,928
I'm wondering if you might
have some advice for me.
229
00:14:48,012 --> 00:14:50,055
Well, tend to your car.
230
00:14:50,806 --> 00:14:53,225
I'll be danged
if that front right tire of yours
231
00:14:53,309 --> 00:14:55,352
will hold up for more than three days.
232
00:15:09,825 --> 00:15:10,993
Looks fine to me.
233
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:15,497
Be glad when they start making cars again
instead of tanks.
234
00:15:23,964 --> 00:15:25,883
It's like returning to high school.
235
00:15:29,011 --> 00:15:31,764
I can't believe you haven't
turned this into a home office yet.
236
00:15:31,847 --> 00:15:34,183
Your mama still won't let me touch it.
237
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:36,977
You know, this Bones thing...
238
00:15:38,604 --> 00:15:41,357
- I hope you can settle it quick, is all.
- Look.
239
00:15:42,775 --> 00:15:43,692
I get it.
240
00:15:43,776 --> 00:15:47,488
Don't be the big-city girl who returns
to her little hometown to stir up trouble.
241
00:15:47,571 --> 00:15:48,989
- No...
- Trust me.
242
00:15:49,823 --> 00:15:52,284
I'm not going to rock the boat.
I'll handle it.
243
00:15:54,495 --> 00:15:55,495
Hmm.
244
00:16:12,763 --> 00:16:13,806
Hmm.
245
00:16:14,223 --> 00:16:16,850

246
00:16:19,853 --> 00:16:22,439

251
00:16:38,122 --> 00:16:40,791

254
00:16:48,298 --> 00:16:49,633
Hey, Abby.
255
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,470
Ooh.
256
00:17:02,688 --> 00:17:03,688
Ooh.
257
00:17:15,659 --> 00:17:16,660
Mmm.
258
00:17:18,537 --> 00:17:21,040
Genny, honey, supper's almost ready.
259
00:17:23,459 --> 00:17:26,211
I need a few minutes, Mama,
I'll be down soon.
260
00:17:30,049 --> 00:17:32,402
We have just learned
that the German 7th Army
261
00:17:32,426 --> 00:17:34,636
assigned to hold the Allied troops
at the beach head
262
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,556
has suffered a major setback
in this latest attack.
263
00:17:37,639 --> 00:17:38,640
Alka-Seltzer...
264
00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:03,039
Howdy.
265
00:18:03,248 --> 00:18:06,168
I wondered if you might have a car jack
I could borrow?
266
00:18:06,251 --> 00:18:09,254
I got a flat tire
and mine's gone who knows where.
267
00:18:09,338 --> 00:18:11,965
I must've picked up a nail or something.
268
00:18:13,258 --> 00:18:14,635
Look, this isn't my car.
269
00:18:14,718 --> 00:18:17,346
There isn't even a trunk to put a jack in.
I don't...
270
00:18:21,141 --> 00:18:22,267
Hop in. I'll drop you.
271
00:18:31,151 --> 00:18:33,153
So, uh, what brings you out this way?
272
00:18:34,863 --> 00:18:36,281
- Business.
- Oh, great.
273
00:18:36,657 --> 00:18:38,909
Can always use more of that
on this side of the tracks.
274
00:18:39,159 --> 00:18:40,869
Just moved here, a month back.
275
00:18:42,246 --> 00:18:44,123
What does your wife think of it here?
276
00:18:44,665 --> 00:18:47,417
Well, we lost her to polio, 14 months ago.
277
00:18:49,253 --> 00:18:50,253
I'm sorry.
278
00:18:51,547 --> 00:18:53,173
Harder on my boy, I think.
279
00:18:54,007 --> 00:18:57,386
Caught him harassing an old mountain lady
he took to be a witch.
280
00:18:58,512 --> 00:19:00,722
Well, are you talking about Bones?
281
00:19:01,098 --> 00:19:02,098
You know her?
282
00:19:02,474 --> 00:19:03,308
Know of her?
283
00:19:03,392 --> 00:19:05,811
I'm on the way to meet her now,
as a matter of fact.
284
00:19:05,894 --> 00:19:06,895
Oh, is that right?
285
00:19:07,312 --> 00:19:09,398
Well, my boy and I just paid her a visit.
286
00:19:10,065 --> 00:19:11,233
Have your fortune told?
287
00:19:11,316 --> 00:19:13,610
No, not by design.
288
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:17,447
You know exactly how I can find her place?
289
00:19:18,323 --> 00:19:19,323
Yeah, it, uh...
290
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:23,203
Take the left fork on the cutout
just past town, then up the mountain.
291
00:19:23,287 --> 00:19:25,122
You're fixing to have your fortune told?
292
00:19:26,165 --> 00:19:27,165
Not by design.
293
00:19:38,927 --> 00:19:41,447
You can just drop me off up there
at the left at the feed store.
294
00:19:41,471 --> 00:19:44,474
I'll get someone from work
to take me back to my car later.
295
00:19:58,530 --> 00:19:59,531
Well, thank you kindly.
296
00:20:02,326 --> 00:20:03,327
I'll be seeing you.
297
00:20:03,535 --> 00:20:05,412
Well, maybe.
298
00:21:13,939 --> 00:21:15,190
Oh, forget the shoes.
299
00:21:15,857 --> 00:21:17,234
Just come on in.
300
00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:20,570
I'm Genevieve Carson.
301
00:21:20,737 --> 00:21:22,406
I know. The letter writer.
302
00:21:23,532 --> 00:21:24,532
Genevieve.
303
00:21:25,325 --> 00:21:26,702
It's such a lovely name.
304
00:21:27,202 --> 00:21:28,370
It suits you.
305
00:21:29,830 --> 00:21:31,456
Good of you to see me, Miss Shaw.
306
00:21:31,540 --> 00:21:33,000
Oh, call me Bones.
307
00:21:33,083 --> 00:21:34,083
Most folk do.
308
00:21:34,334 --> 00:21:37,462
Well, I apologize, I'm a little late.
309
00:21:37,963 --> 00:21:39,965
I don't keep no clocks.
310
00:21:45,178 --> 00:21:48,682
That, uh, rocking chair there
is just aching for company.
311
00:21:48,765 --> 00:21:49,765
Hmm.
312
00:21:50,058 --> 00:21:53,312
Uh, would you like somemugwort tea?
313
00:21:54,062 --> 00:21:55,856
It's good for whatever ails you.
314
00:21:56,148 --> 00:21:57,868
I... I plant it myself.
315
00:21:57,899 --> 00:21:59,401
That would be nice, thank you.
316
00:21:59,484 --> 00:22:02,195
Oh, now, Blue! Blue! Blue!
317
00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:03,780
Out. Out. Get.
318
00:22:04,823 --> 00:22:07,200
I'm sorry about that.
319
00:22:07,701 --> 00:22:09,328
I've got it all ready for you.
320
00:22:13,832 --> 00:22:15,876
- Yum.
- That's quite a tea pot.
321
00:22:15,959 --> 00:22:18,795
It was given me by this New York dandy,
322
00:22:18,879 --> 00:22:20,380
who came all the way down here
323
00:22:20,464 --> 00:22:23,175
to find out what my bones had to say
about his business.
324
00:22:23,258 --> 00:22:25,177
They come from all over.
325
00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:28,513
Well, as I said in my letter,
we would like to buy your property.
326
00:22:28,722 --> 00:22:32,517
But it's your immediate neighbors
that Mountainside Land & Timber Company
327
00:22:32,601 --> 00:22:33,894
is concerned about.
328
00:22:33,977 --> 00:22:35,979
That's why they retained our law firm.
329
00:22:37,439 --> 00:22:38,523
How about that.
330
00:22:39,399 --> 00:22:40,442
A lady lawyer.
331
00:22:40,525 --> 00:22:42,569
- Hmm.
- Isn't that something?
332
00:22:43,195 --> 00:22:45,572
Isn't that something, Wink?
333
00:22:46,531 --> 00:22:47,699
Seems to me...
334
00:22:48,575 --> 00:22:50,077
we both outsiders.
335
00:22:50,911 --> 00:22:54,706
Ah, careful not to burn yourself.
336
00:22:55,791 --> 00:22:57,167
Would you like some honey?
337
00:22:57,250 --> 00:22:58,250
Mmm.
338
00:23:01,004 --> 00:23:02,004
Please.
339
00:23:02,714 --> 00:23:05,634
Now... about your property.
340
00:23:06,468 --> 00:23:09,054
Well, you just don't waste any breath,
do you?
341
00:23:09,513 --> 00:23:11,723
Mountainside is prepared to buy your land
342
00:23:11,807 --> 00:23:14,810
for twice what we're offering
your neighbors for their property.
343
00:23:15,602 --> 00:23:16,853
That don't seem fair.
344
00:23:17,729 --> 00:23:20,607
Well, it's something of a bonus
for your cooperation.
345
00:23:21,817 --> 00:23:24,111
On the condition that you desist.
346
00:23:25,487 --> 00:23:26,571
In other words,
347
00:23:26,655 --> 00:23:29,157
stop with your readings.
348
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,620
Do you... Do you understand?
349
00:23:35,747 --> 00:23:36,957
You is a beauty.
350
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:37,916
Hmm.
351
00:23:37,999 --> 00:23:42,003
Oh, I suppose you're told that
all the time, but I tell you,
352
00:23:42,462 --> 00:23:43,797
those eyes
353
00:23:44,256 --> 00:23:46,550
be enough to turn a man to salt.
354
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:48,760
Uh, thank you.
355
00:23:49,052 --> 00:23:51,596
But is it... is it clear
what I'm proposing, Miss Shaw?
356
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:52,848
And that hair,
357
00:23:53,223 --> 00:23:55,892
just enough blonde to... to tease ya.
358
00:23:56,143 --> 00:23:57,436
Oh, my, my, my.
359
00:23:57,519 --> 00:23:59,479
And Mountainside would like you to stop
360
00:23:59,604 --> 00:24:02,149
advising your neighbors
not to sell their properties to them.
361
00:24:02,232 --> 00:24:04,276
Oh, it's not me saying.
362
00:24:04,651 --> 00:24:06,903
No, I just... I just read the bones.
363
00:24:06,987 --> 00:24:08,697
It's the bones that are talking.
364
00:24:09,739 --> 00:24:12,909
Well, whether it's the bones or you
365
00:24:12,993 --> 00:24:15,495
or old Wink over there,
366
00:24:16,079 --> 00:24:18,582
...you have to stop
or else Mountainside...
367
00:24:20,876 --> 00:24:22,627
When I tell you that Mountainside
368
00:24:22,836 --> 00:24:24,004
is prepared
369
00:24:24,504 --> 00:24:29,468
to file a civil lawsuit against you
that could have grave consequences.
370
00:24:30,010 --> 00:24:31,470
You get them headaches?
371
00:24:31,803 --> 00:24:34,514
- You know the ones where the light...
- Miss Shaw, please.
372
00:24:34,598 --> 00:24:36,308
Well, that tea's right good for it.
373
00:24:40,812 --> 00:24:42,397
So, you do get them.
374
00:24:44,733 --> 00:24:46,193
Miss Shaw, I know what you're doing.
375
00:24:47,235 --> 00:24:50,530
But everybody gets headaches, and...
376
00:24:51,531 --> 00:24:54,367
right now you are setting yourself up
for a big one.
377
00:24:54,784 --> 00:24:55,827
Oh, how'd that be?
378
00:24:55,911 --> 00:24:59,080
If this suit goes to court and you lose,
379
00:24:59,664 --> 00:25:02,417
your property will be sold to pay damages.
380
00:25:02,501 --> 00:25:05,341
Not to mention, you could be convicted
in criminal court for witchcraft,
381
00:25:05,420 --> 00:25:08,673
because of the fraud you're perpetrating
as a so-called clairvoyant.
382
00:25:09,299 --> 00:25:10,509
I ain't no fraud.
383
00:25:10,884 --> 00:25:12,802
We don't want to go to court.
384
00:25:12,886 --> 00:25:15,889
We would much prefer to settle this matter
here and now.
385
00:25:16,264 --> 00:25:18,016
I brought the paperwork with me.
386
00:25:19,226 --> 00:25:20,226
Miss Shaw...
387
00:25:21,561 --> 00:25:25,273
please don't force my client
to do something we will both regret.
388
00:25:25,357 --> 00:25:26,608
I ain't worried.
389
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,110
I know you'll do right by me.
390
00:25:29,861 --> 00:25:33,448
Is there nothing I can say or do
to make you stop this activity?
391
00:25:34,157 --> 00:25:37,827
Well, I can't turn my back
on people who need help.
392
00:25:38,453 --> 00:25:40,121
That wouldn't be right, would it?
393
00:25:45,085 --> 00:25:46,461
I'm sorry to hear that.
394
00:25:47,879 --> 00:25:48,879
I truly am.
395
00:25:49,506 --> 00:25:52,592
Look, why don't I leave this paperwork
here with you.
396
00:25:53,468 --> 00:25:55,387
Just in case you choose to reconsider.
397
00:25:55,971 --> 00:25:58,848
Oh, well, that's mighty kind,
but my mind's made up.
398
00:26:02,018 --> 00:26:03,018
Very well.
399
00:26:03,937 --> 00:26:05,063
Thank you for the tea.
400
00:26:25,125 --> 00:26:26,125
Lord...
401
00:26:27,419 --> 00:26:29,129
help me find the right path.
402
00:26:33,883 --> 00:26:35,051
I know you will.
403
00:26:36,261 --> 00:26:37,261
Thanks, again.
404
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:22,682
Mmm.
405
00:27:23,725 --> 00:27:25,393
Oh, the light.
406
00:27:27,729 --> 00:27:30,982
Are you all right, Genny?
We could hear you from our room.
407
00:27:32,442 --> 00:27:34,361
It's another migraine, that's all.
408
00:27:35,028 --> 00:27:36,071
It'll be fine now.
409
00:27:36,613 --> 00:27:39,783
- Have you been to the doctor like I wrote?
- Hmm, I did.
410
00:27:40,742 --> 00:27:42,952
I'll be fine. I know how to treat it now.
411
00:27:44,037 --> 00:27:45,830
Mmm, I don't know, sugar.
412
00:27:46,665 --> 00:27:50,502
It's this career way of life you chose.
I think you're working too hard.
413
00:27:51,503 --> 00:27:53,004
Good night, Mama.
414
00:27:53,463 --> 00:27:55,215
You can close the door.
415
00:27:55,924 --> 00:27:56,924
Okay.
416
00:27:58,259 --> 00:27:59,259
Good night, baby.
417
00:27:59,511 --> 00:28:00,511
Mmm.
418
00:28:19,322 --> 00:28:22,450
Scared a smile might bust your face open?
419
00:28:23,910 --> 00:28:24,910
No, ma'am.
420
00:28:25,954 --> 00:28:28,164
You need to loosen up, boy.
421
00:28:29,165 --> 00:28:30,165
You ever sing?
422
00:28:30,417 --> 00:28:31,417
Church.
423
00:28:31,710 --> 00:28:33,753
I'll bet you mumble more than sing.
424
00:28:35,004 --> 00:28:36,423
It might help you
425
00:28:36,631 --> 00:28:39,509
get rid of some of this anger
you're toting around.
426
00:28:40,176 --> 00:28:41,720
You don't know what's inside me.
427
00:28:43,179 --> 00:28:44,347
You saying I'm wrong?
428
00:28:46,975 --> 00:28:50,019
Hmm.
Anyway, I'm no good at singing.
429
00:28:50,311 --> 00:28:51,813
The Lord loves music.
430
00:28:51,896 --> 00:28:53,565
Doesn't matter how bad you sound.
431
00:28:54,274 --> 00:28:55,734
It's good for the soul.
432
00:28:55,817 --> 00:28:58,653
Mmm.
My mama used to sing in the church choir.
433
00:28:58,862 --> 00:28:59,862
That so?
434
00:29:01,656 --> 00:29:02,907
Didn't help her none.
435
00:29:10,415 --> 00:29:11,916
Let's see that sign of yours.
436
00:29:17,464 --> 00:29:18,464
All right.
437
00:29:20,925 --> 00:29:24,012
Well, now, if I recall correctly,
438
00:29:24,471 --> 00:29:29,058
um, "trespassing" has two S's
on its haunches.
439
00:29:30,602 --> 00:29:31,602
Dang it all.
440
00:29:31,895 --> 00:29:33,313
But you were distracting me.
441
00:29:33,980 --> 00:29:35,815
So, you gonna make me do it over now?
442
00:29:37,066 --> 00:29:38,276
Nah, leave it be.
443
00:29:38,902 --> 00:29:40,445
Scarier that way.
444
00:29:40,945 --> 00:29:43,823
Might scare off more of the witch hunters.
445
00:29:48,369 --> 00:29:50,455
Look, I know you ain't know witch,
446
00:29:50,538 --> 00:29:53,208
but what would you call yourself?
447
00:29:54,083 --> 00:29:55,083
Well...
448
00:29:56,294 --> 00:29:57,796
you know your Bible, boy?
449
00:29:59,380 --> 00:30:01,883
These prophets running all through it,
450
00:30:02,550 --> 00:30:04,511
some that tell of what's to come,
451
00:30:04,928 --> 00:30:06,012
what will be,
452
00:30:06,513 --> 00:30:08,223
some of what was.
453
00:30:09,349 --> 00:30:10,975
I is like a prophet.
454
00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:12,685
Hmm.
455
00:30:12,769 --> 00:30:15,146
Well, can you teach me
how to be a prophet?
456
00:30:15,522 --> 00:30:18,191
I could, but it wouldn't do any good.
457
00:30:19,150 --> 00:30:22,195
Seeing is a gift of God.
458
00:30:23,238 --> 00:30:24,614
Only a few of us have it.
459
00:30:25,114 --> 00:30:28,284
Why? Got to be perfect or something
to get a gift like that?
460
00:30:28,368 --> 00:30:30,829
Lord, no.
461
00:30:32,664 --> 00:30:33,915
We's all flawed.
462
00:30:34,290 --> 00:30:37,293
Some of us more badly than others.
463
00:30:38,127 --> 00:30:41,130
Come on. Let's go hang that sign of yours.
464
00:30:42,257 --> 00:30:44,133
Well, now that you've done that,
465
00:30:44,801 --> 00:30:47,720
I'll just add a little buckshot.
466
00:30:48,388 --> 00:30:50,431
Juice it up a little more, huh?
467
00:30:53,142 --> 00:30:54,352
Hey, Sheriff.
468
00:30:55,562 --> 00:30:56,562
Wh...
469
00:30:59,524 --> 00:31:02,944
You ain't supposed to be out here 'til,
what, Monday week.
470
00:31:03,236 --> 00:31:04,904
Fear this is business, Miss Mary.
471
00:31:07,115 --> 00:31:09,492
Don't trespassing have two S's on its end?
472
00:31:10,660 --> 00:31:14,038
Oh, we won't let on.
473
00:31:14,873 --> 00:31:15,707
What business?
474
00:31:15,790 --> 00:31:19,544
This here is a summons and complaint
that I'm supposed to serve you with.
475
00:31:20,086 --> 00:31:21,086
Huh?
476
00:31:21,296 --> 00:31:24,382
- You is being sued, Miss Mary.
- Sued? What for?
477
00:31:25,008 --> 00:31:26,843
That Mountainside Land & Timber bunch
478
00:31:26,926 --> 00:31:29,387
has filed a civil lawsuit against you
with the court.
479
00:31:29,470 --> 00:31:32,974
Well, you just turn yourself back around.
Tell 'em, I ain't interested.
480
00:31:33,516 --> 00:31:34,601
Don't work like that.
481
00:31:36,728 --> 00:31:39,230
Well, here. You've been officially served.
482
00:31:39,689 --> 00:31:43,067
Well, what in the dadgum world
is a person supposed to do with this?
483
00:31:44,319 --> 00:31:45,653
I'd get yourself a lawyer.
484
00:31:46,070 --> 00:31:48,323
Well, my daddy's mighty good at lawyering.
485
00:31:48,406 --> 00:31:50,867
I don't need your daddy or anyone else.
486
00:31:51,492 --> 00:31:53,492
They want a fight,
they're gonna get one, but good.
487
00:31:53,536 --> 00:31:55,788
I'd listen to the boy if I was you, Bones.
488
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,126
- Try to settle it before it gets to court.
- Are you deaf, Billy Wade?
489
00:32:00,627 --> 00:32:02,128
I ain't settling nothing.
490
00:32:02,837 --> 00:32:07,008
And they gonna be sorry
they stirred up this old rattler's nest.
491
00:32:08,176 --> 00:32:11,095
Now, I know better than to wrassle you
over something like this.
492
00:32:11,679 --> 00:32:12,764
See you come Monday.
493
00:32:16,434 --> 00:32:17,434
Yeah.
494
00:32:21,606 --> 00:32:22,774
That's better.
495
00:32:39,415 --> 00:32:41,793
You were smart to get out of here
while you could.
496
00:32:41,876 --> 00:32:43,544
Oh, we miss you though.
497
00:32:43,962 --> 00:32:45,129
- I miss you.
- Oh.
498
00:32:45,964 --> 00:32:46,965
D'you hear?
499
00:32:47,298 --> 00:32:49,634
Grace married your old boyfriend, Lyman.
500
00:32:50,927 --> 00:32:52,595
They got twins.
501
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,158
He took some shrapnel in France,
and now he works for Forest Service.
502
00:32:56,182 --> 00:32:58,768
Really? Well, what happened
to the family farm?
503
00:32:58,851 --> 00:33:01,980
Well, your dad had to foreclose
on his papa's place during the Depression.
504
00:33:02,063 --> 00:33:03,940
Belle, more coffee.
505
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,902
You want it poured on your lap, Curtis?
Can't you see I'm reminiscing?
506
00:33:07,986 --> 00:33:09,195
Just drink your water.
507
00:33:09,904 --> 00:33:12,573
How is your daddy?
Still trying to control your every move?
508
00:33:12,657 --> 00:33:14,659
Uh, even now, he can't help himself.
509
00:33:15,076 --> 00:33:16,869
Another good reason
I had to get out of here.
510
00:33:16,953 --> 00:33:20,039
Honey, it is a man's world,
and you gotta do what you gotta do
511
00:33:20,123 --> 00:33:21,207
to stand on it.
512
00:33:21,791 --> 00:33:23,459
Their game, their rules.
513
00:33:23,543 --> 00:33:26,379
Belle, I done finished my water.
514
00:33:26,462 --> 00:33:29,132
Put a cork in it, Curtis, I'm coming.
515
00:33:30,925 --> 00:33:34,053
As you lawyers say, I rest my case.
516
00:33:35,054 --> 00:33:37,854
That was one for the boys
returning home from the front.
517
00:33:37,932 --> 00:33:41,060
Here's one I think you'll all enjoy.
I know we certainly do.
518
00:33:48,026 --> 00:33:51,112
What in the world
are you doing here, Alex?
519
00:33:51,195 --> 00:33:53,156
Mr. Sullivan sent me to help.
520
00:33:53,948 --> 00:33:54,991
To dig up dirt?
521
00:33:55,825 --> 00:33:58,536
I don't need your kind of help.
This is a small matter.
522
00:33:59,078 --> 00:34:00,955
Not to Mr. Sullivan, it isn't.
523
00:34:01,581 --> 00:34:04,959
Mountainside has big plans here,
and this old Bones character
524
00:34:05,043 --> 00:34:08,296
stands out like a dead tooth
in the middle of a company smile.
525
00:34:10,256 --> 00:34:11,674
If you truly want to help...
526
00:34:12,675 --> 00:34:14,719
go back to Washington and inform your boss
527
00:34:14,802 --> 00:34:17,972
that I've already filed against Bones
for intentional interference and fraud.
528
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:19,807
- Mmm.
- She doesn't even have a lawyer,
529
00:34:19,891 --> 00:34:22,685
which is likely to lead
to a default judgment in our favor.
530
00:34:22,769 --> 00:34:24,395
And even if she gets a lawyer,
531
00:34:24,479 --> 00:34:27,148
the fear of a suit this size
against a small-town attorney
532
00:34:27,231 --> 00:34:29,192
will force a settlement in our favor.
533
00:34:29,901 --> 00:34:32,987
Regardless, I believe in our system.
534
00:34:33,196 --> 00:34:35,198
And I believe in due process.
535
00:34:35,573 --> 00:34:37,700
So, when I win this case,
536
00:34:38,034 --> 00:34:39,744
it will be based on the law.
537
00:34:40,078 --> 00:34:42,580
It will not be based
on wallowing in the mud
538
00:34:42,663 --> 00:34:44,165
with someone like you.
539
00:34:44,457 --> 00:34:49,170
Just wanna start
everybody off on the right foot.
540
00:34:55,802 --> 00:34:56,802
Thank you, Belle.
541
00:34:57,720 --> 00:34:58,720
Belle.
542
00:34:59,305 --> 00:35:00,305
Beautiful name.
543
00:35:01,974 --> 00:35:04,060
Don't even think about it.
544
00:35:04,727 --> 00:35:07,021
You don't know what I'm thinking.
545
00:35:08,606 --> 00:35:09,649
I do know this.
546
00:35:10,733 --> 00:35:11,901
You're not wanted here.
547
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:13,569
You're not needed here.
548
00:35:13,986 --> 00:35:14,986
I got this.
549
00:35:15,530 --> 00:35:17,156
So, you enjoy your biscuits.
550
00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:22,578
And go back to Washington,
tell Mr. Sullivan I won't work with you.
551
00:35:34,465 --> 00:35:36,217
Mama made you some sweet tea.
552
00:35:36,592 --> 00:35:37,718
No kidding?
553
00:35:38,928 --> 00:35:40,304
How'd she get the sugar?
554
00:35:40,638 --> 00:35:43,266
Saved her stamps like a miser.
555
00:35:44,725 --> 00:35:46,352
Mmm.
556
00:35:47,937 --> 00:35:50,106
I love these old Smokies.
557
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:55,027
Couldn't pry me out of here
with a crowbar.
558
00:35:55,111 --> 00:35:56,279
Don't start on me.
559
00:35:58,698 --> 00:36:02,577
I sometimes wonder where you might be now
if you hadn't worked that summer job
560
00:36:02,660 --> 00:36:05,163
in Charlottesville with that lawyer fella.
561
00:36:05,621 --> 00:36:08,207
Hoping I'd come back after college
and marry Lyman?
562
00:36:08,457 --> 00:36:10,001
I don't think so.
563
00:36:10,585 --> 00:36:12,336
Not with your grit and spirit.
564
00:36:13,254 --> 00:36:15,965
Huh. Chester was more your type.
565
00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:23,514
Heard about Lyman today.
566
00:36:26,434 --> 00:36:28,269
What happened with his daddy's farm?
567
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,772
Ah, sad story, Genny.
568
00:36:33,316 --> 00:36:37,278
We did our best to keep folks' lives
intact during the Depression.
569
00:36:38,362 --> 00:36:41,616
But his daddy drank away
every lick of grease we gave him.
570
00:36:43,659 --> 00:36:47,038
Sometimes in business you just have
to make those rock-hard decisions.
571
00:36:48,164 --> 00:36:49,332
Don't I know it.
572
00:36:49,999 --> 00:36:52,418
Uh, take this Bones case for instance.
573
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,670
Now, she's not a bad soul.
574
00:36:55,671 --> 00:36:59,050
Long time back,
she went through some real hard times.
575
00:37:00,343 --> 00:37:04,263
And I saw to it that she could hang on
to her family's place.
576
00:37:08,059 --> 00:37:10,770
And now my client is trying to get it.
577
00:37:12,563 --> 00:37:14,190
We were able to work things out.
578
00:37:14,857 --> 00:37:16,108
Maybe you can too.
579
00:37:18,236 --> 00:37:19,237
Anyway...
580
00:37:20,112 --> 00:37:22,281
...I sure hope you can keep it
out of court.
581
00:37:23,950 --> 00:37:24,950
Best for everyone.
582
00:37:28,371 --> 00:37:33,167
Now, I don't know what your son told you,
but I don't need your help.
583
00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:34,919
I'm fine by myself.
584
00:37:35,002 --> 00:37:36,629
Well, the law can be tricky.
585
00:37:37,129 --> 00:37:38,422
Not like milking a goat.
586
00:37:38,589 --> 00:37:41,676
Oh, you think milking a goat's easy?
587
00:37:42,468 --> 00:37:43,468
Here.
588
00:37:45,346 --> 00:37:46,430
Wipe her teats.
589
00:37:47,807 --> 00:37:51,644
Look, if it's a cost that's bothering you,
I was planning on doing this pro bono.
590
00:37:51,727 --> 00:37:53,688
Now, don't you get uppity with me.
591
00:37:54,438 --> 00:37:56,190
It just means that I work for free.
592
00:37:56,691 --> 00:37:59,443
Oh, I... I don't take charity
from nobody, sonny.
593
00:37:59,777 --> 00:38:02,113
Well, then we can figure out a deal
of some kind.
594
00:38:02,196 --> 00:38:03,572
Goat's milk for legal work.
595
00:38:04,156 --> 00:38:06,867
Oh, is that all your advice is worth?
596
00:38:07,952 --> 00:38:09,370
That, and maybe some eggs.
597
00:38:15,418 --> 00:38:16,418
There's that.
598
00:38:17,336 --> 00:38:18,337
And then, uh...
599
00:38:20,172 --> 00:38:21,382
Oh, Lord mercy.
600
00:38:21,757 --> 00:38:23,092
No, no, no, no.
601
00:38:23,884 --> 00:38:25,094
She's not a cow.
602
00:38:25,177 --> 00:38:27,388
She's a goat. One hand!
603
00:38:27,972 --> 00:38:29,640
And you don't tug neither.
604
00:38:30,099 --> 00:38:32,601
No,...you pinch and squeeze.
605
00:38:32,685 --> 00:38:35,688
Pinch and squeeze and roll on down.
606
00:38:35,771 --> 00:38:37,315
There you go.
607
00:38:37,648 --> 00:38:39,191
You're getting the hang of it.
608
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:40,568
- Good.
- Well, thank you.
609
00:38:41,068 --> 00:38:43,029
You helped me, now let me help you.
610
00:38:43,362 --> 00:38:45,906
What? No, no, no, my mind's made up.
611
00:38:46,449 --> 00:38:49,410
Those polecats are gonna wish
they was roadkill when I finish with them.
612
00:38:50,328 --> 00:38:51,412
It is not up to you.
613
00:38:55,458 --> 00:38:56,458
What do you mean?
614
00:38:56,959 --> 00:38:57,877
Well...
615
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,879
while I'm out here doing your chores,
616
00:38:59,962 --> 00:39:02,298
why don't you go on inside
and ask those old bones of yours
617
00:39:02,381 --> 00:39:04,383
what they have to say about me
representing you.
618
00:39:04,925 --> 00:39:05,925
Sounds fair enough?
619
00:39:10,431 --> 00:39:11,431
Keep milking.
620
00:39:36,999 --> 00:39:38,459
- Oh.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
621
00:39:40,044 --> 00:39:41,044
You all right?
622
00:39:42,588 --> 00:39:44,090
These old bones are just...
623
00:39:45,049 --> 00:39:47,593
kind of taking more out of me
than I'd like lately.
624
00:39:49,428 --> 00:39:50,679
I'll be fine soon enough.
625
00:39:51,263 --> 00:39:52,263
All right.
626
00:39:53,057 --> 00:39:54,057
So...
627
00:39:55,059 --> 00:39:56,143
what'd they tell you?
628
00:39:58,813 --> 00:40:00,106
You's my lawyer.
629
00:40:01,023 --> 00:40:02,023
Glad to hear it.
630
00:40:02,316 --> 00:40:05,653
I'll arrange a meeting with their attorney
in the next day or so. How'd that be?
631
00:40:06,237 --> 00:40:07,237
Suits me.
632
00:40:07,988 --> 00:40:09,073
Tote in my milk.
633
00:40:10,366 --> 00:40:11,867
Oh.
634
00:40:11,951 --> 00:40:13,661
Dang it all.
635
00:40:25,089 --> 00:40:26,089
Morning, ma'am.
636
00:40:41,564 --> 00:40:43,858
You. I thought you worked out of town.
637
00:40:43,941 --> 00:40:46,485
Well, who knows? I may wind up there.
638
00:40:47,236 --> 00:40:49,738
Landon Rayfield, Miss Carson.
Nice to officially meet you.
639
00:40:49,822 --> 00:40:52,324
Yes, well, an unexpected surprise.
640
00:41:00,541 --> 00:41:01,625
Hey there, gal.
641
00:41:02,126 --> 00:41:03,669
My, another surprise.
642
00:41:04,086 --> 00:41:05,796
Nice to see you again, Miss Shaw.
643
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:07,173
Right back at you, hon.
644
00:41:07,423 --> 00:41:10,301
- She, uh, insisted on joining us.
- Hmm.
645
00:41:10,384 --> 00:41:13,304
I gotta keep an eye on my shyster,
don't you know?
646
00:41:13,387 --> 00:41:14,387
Make yourself at home.
647
00:41:18,726 --> 00:41:20,978
You know the, uh, floorboards
are a little warped.
648
00:41:21,061 --> 00:41:23,381
- I can shove a matchbook under there.
- Uh, no, it's okay.
649
00:41:24,690 --> 00:41:25,941
What are you working on?
650
00:41:26,025 --> 00:41:29,737
Oh, just something to keep myself
out of trouble, yeah?
651
00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:31,947
- Can I offer you a Nehi soda?
- I'm fine.
652
00:41:33,032 --> 00:41:34,533
Shall we get to it?
653
00:41:35,034 --> 00:41:36,034
You bet.
654
00:41:39,747 --> 00:41:42,583
I assume you brought me here
to negotiate the settlement?
655
00:41:43,417 --> 00:41:44,460
I ain't selling.
656
00:41:44,835 --> 00:41:45,835
Nothing personal.
657
00:41:46,462 --> 00:41:50,007
But I wanna give your client
an opportunity to withdraw the lawsuit.
658
00:41:50,508 --> 00:41:51,634
I beg your pardon?
659
00:41:52,092 --> 00:41:53,886
To take it all back, hon.
660
00:41:54,261 --> 00:41:57,681
And why would my clientagree to that?
661
00:41:59,183 --> 00:42:00,183
To avoid a countersuit.
662
00:42:00,226 --> 00:42:01,977
A countersuit? You are joking?
663
00:42:02,978 --> 00:42:04,021
On what grounds?
664
00:42:04,563 --> 00:42:06,524
Harassment and defamation of character.
665
00:42:06,649 --> 00:42:09,109
Well, I have a reputation to protect.
666
00:42:09,443 --> 00:42:11,612
And this thing is doing me no good,
no how.
667
00:42:11,695 --> 00:42:15,324
There's a similar circumstance,
a case which upheld defamation damages.
668
00:42:15,407 --> 00:42:16,407
I believe...
669
00:42:16,700 --> 00:42:18,970
- Owles v. Pittsburgh...
- Pittsburgh Times. Pennsylvania.
670
00:42:18,994 --> 00:42:21,080
Irrelevant.
Look, I appreciate your spunk, but...
671
00:42:21,163 --> 00:42:23,624
Oh, me too. That's why he got the job.
672
00:42:26,752 --> 00:42:32,550
Do you seriously expect to defend
Miss Shaw by proving she's clairvoyant?
673
00:42:32,633 --> 00:42:36,220
What I'm hoping is that your client
will have the good sense to withdraw
674
00:42:36,303 --> 00:42:38,389
the lawsuit so we can all shake hands.
675
00:42:38,472 --> 00:42:41,934
Then maybe you and I can have
a friendly cup of coffee down the road.
676
00:42:42,017 --> 00:42:43,017
How is that?
677
00:42:49,358 --> 00:42:51,110
You do understand the stakes?
678
00:42:51,694 --> 00:42:53,404
No, does your client?
679
00:42:54,071 --> 00:42:55,990
I have a feeling
those are pretty deep pockets.
680
00:42:56,073 --> 00:42:57,992
You go back to your bigshot boss,
681
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,911
and you tell him if he don't pull back,
he going to find himself
682
00:43:00,995 --> 00:43:02,621
hip-deep in cow dung.
683
00:43:10,629 --> 00:43:13,465
Miss Shaw, I think you are making
an enormous mistake.
684
00:43:13,549 --> 00:43:16,093
Talk to your client.
Let 'em think it over.
685
00:43:17,595 --> 00:43:18,971
But unless you reconsider,
686
00:43:19,638 --> 00:43:21,307
I reckon we'll see you in court.
687
00:43:27,730 --> 00:43:29,690
Well, she's awful pretty.
688
00:43:31,525 --> 00:43:32,525
Mmm.
689
00:43:32,943 --> 00:43:34,987
All right, now put one finger there
690
00:43:35,446 --> 00:43:38,574
and t'other just south
of them frets, yeah.
691
00:43:38,657 --> 00:43:40,409
Now, press hard
692
00:43:40,492 --> 00:43:42,244
like you were squishing a bug.
693
00:43:42,578 --> 00:43:43,578
Now, strum.
694
00:43:44,413 --> 00:43:45,998
All right, good.
695
00:43:46,206 --> 00:43:49,835
Now, switch back to that first one
I showed you
696
00:43:49,918 --> 00:43:52,796
and then practice
going back and forth for a mite.
697
00:43:54,256 --> 00:43:55,257
Mmm.
698
00:43:57,301 --> 00:43:58,301
Hey, uh...
699
00:43:58,469 --> 00:44:00,721
you ever do readings for kids, Miss Mary?
700
00:44:02,431 --> 00:44:04,475
Never had a young'un ask me. Why?
701
00:44:04,933 --> 00:44:08,604
Well, uh, there's some stuff
I'd like to know about the future.
702
00:44:09,396 --> 00:44:10,481
Like what?
703
00:44:12,024 --> 00:44:13,108
Well...
704
00:44:14,443 --> 00:44:16,862
Like if my daddy's
ever gonna get married again?
705
00:44:19,365 --> 00:44:24,370
There... there are some things it's just
better not knowing about ahead of time.
706
00:44:25,245 --> 00:44:26,245
Why?
707
00:44:26,580 --> 00:44:29,500
It just is. Take my word for it.
708
00:44:30,167 --> 00:44:33,712
Better that a tadpole not know
he's gonna grow up into a frog
709
00:44:33,796 --> 00:44:36,090
until he gets there and he's ready for it.
710
00:44:37,841 --> 00:44:41,095
Oh, those will turn to shoe leather
in no time.
711
00:44:41,553 --> 00:44:43,305
Now, let me teach me you one more chord.
712
00:44:43,389 --> 00:44:46,308
And then, uh, between 'em,
we can pretty much play anything.
713
00:44:46,392 --> 00:44:47,476
Give it here. Oh!
714
00:44:47,601 --> 00:44:48,977
Oh. Oh, you all right?
715
00:44:51,689 --> 00:44:52,689
It's just a...
716
00:44:53,357 --> 00:44:54,733
a little spell, that's all.
717
00:44:56,235 --> 00:44:59,321
I better... I better just lie down.
718
00:44:59,697 --> 00:45:00,739
Lie down a while.
719
00:45:01,824 --> 00:45:02,824
Okay.
720
00:45:03,617 --> 00:45:04,702
Now, thank you.
721
00:45:19,550 --> 00:45:22,553
Help yourself to a lick of corn bread.
722
00:45:24,513 --> 00:45:25,514
I just need a...
723
00:45:26,598 --> 00:45:27,933
pinch of shut-eye.
724
00:45:56,837 --> 00:45:58,505
You look right nice, Miss Mary.
725
00:45:58,589 --> 00:46:03,093
Well, it don't hurt to polish up
the old stewpot now and again.
726
00:46:04,094 --> 00:46:05,220
All rise.
727
00:46:06,555 --> 00:46:08,891
Rockdale County court is now in session.
728
00:46:08,974 --> 00:46:10,684
Judge Thaddeus Buckner presiding.
729
00:46:13,604 --> 00:46:14,772
You may be seated.
730
00:46:28,035 --> 00:46:29,035
Morning, y'all.
731
00:46:29,703 --> 00:46:31,246
Morning, judge.
732
00:46:31,330 --> 00:46:33,016
We're here to deal with the petition
by the plaintiff
733
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:34,958
and the counterclaim by the defendant.
734
00:46:35,959 --> 00:46:37,002
Both y'all ready?
735
00:46:37,628 --> 00:46:38,628
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
736
00:46:39,588 --> 00:46:41,173
Alrighty, let's get to it.
737
00:46:42,382 --> 00:46:44,760
Miss Carson,
you have an opening statement?
738
00:46:45,803 --> 00:46:48,305
Oh, do you mind if I can get
in a word here, judge?
739
00:46:48,472 --> 00:46:50,599
I do mind, Miss Mary,
now sit yourself back down.
740
00:46:50,682 --> 00:46:51,517
Well...
741
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,311
Your attorney will have his chance
when the time comes.
742
00:46:54,603 --> 00:46:57,731
Well, but I got something I want to say.
I don't need him to say it for me.
743
00:46:57,815 --> 00:46:59,525
Well, I do need to say it for you.
744
00:47:05,197 --> 00:47:06,782
Counselor, you may resume.
745
00:47:07,699 --> 00:47:09,243
I ain't no fraud!
746
00:47:12,371 --> 00:47:14,248
If you don't behave, Miss Mary,
747
00:47:14,331 --> 00:47:16,208
I'm gonna have to remove you
from the court.
748
00:47:17,209 --> 00:47:18,209
You understand?
749
00:47:18,961 --> 00:47:19,961
Yes, sir, judge.
750
00:47:23,882 --> 00:47:25,384
Counselor, you may resume.
751
00:47:31,598 --> 00:47:32,598
Your Honor.
752
00:47:33,767 --> 00:47:34,977
Gentlemen of the jury.
753
00:47:37,145 --> 00:47:39,398
We believe the evidence will show
754
00:47:39,982 --> 00:47:42,568
that Miss Mary Shaw has willfully
755
00:47:42,651 --> 00:47:45,988
and intentionally interfered
with the business dealings
756
00:47:46,071 --> 00:47:50,117
between several Danville landowners
on the eastside and my client,
757
00:47:50,325 --> 00:47:51,994
Mountainside Land & Timber,
758
00:47:52,244 --> 00:47:55,706
which has been trying
legally and honorably
759
00:47:56,164 --> 00:47:57,916
to purchase the Danville property
760
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,129
to expand Mountainside's
legitimate business interests.
761
00:48:02,796 --> 00:48:03,796
Furthermore...
762
00:48:04,798 --> 00:48:08,051
Miss Shaw's influence
and interference has been achieved
763
00:48:08,135 --> 00:48:11,138
through the fraudulent claims
that she is a clairvoyant
764
00:48:11,221 --> 00:48:12,848
who can predict the future.
765
00:48:14,308 --> 00:48:17,019
I believe the evidence
we will present in this court,
766
00:48:17,394 --> 00:48:20,105
through the testimony of those
with whom she has dealt,
767
00:48:20,188 --> 00:48:23,734
will more than satisfy the burden of proof
to find in our favor.
768
00:48:24,443 --> 00:48:25,443
Thank you.
769
00:48:30,824 --> 00:48:32,075
Mr. Rayfield.
770
00:48:34,661 --> 00:48:35,661
Gentleman.
771
00:48:36,330 --> 00:48:37,706
Thank you for your service.
772
00:48:38,498 --> 00:48:40,709
Well, here's all I have to say. Uh...
773
00:48:40,792 --> 00:48:44,171
There was no intentional interference.
774
00:48:44,463 --> 00:48:45,881
And what's more,
775
00:48:46,340 --> 00:48:48,175
she ain't no fraud. Period.
776
00:48:48,258 --> 00:48:49,927
Order.
777
00:48:51,803 --> 00:48:53,013
Order, please.
778
00:48:53,472 --> 00:48:55,057
You may call your next witness.
779
00:48:56,058 --> 00:48:58,310
Were you prepared to sell to Mountainside?
780
00:48:59,061 --> 00:49:01,104
- They's offering a lot of money.
- Mm-hmm.
781
00:49:01,813 --> 00:49:05,567
Would it be fair to say
you were more likely to sell than not?
782
00:49:06,693 --> 00:49:08,195
I suppose I was, yes.
783
00:49:09,112 --> 00:49:12,366
And after your meeting with Miss Shaw,
did you make your decision?
784
00:49:12,908 --> 00:49:13,908
I...
785
00:49:15,118 --> 00:49:17,537
I figured to hold on to my place.
786
00:49:19,915 --> 00:49:21,041
Thank you, Mr. Wilkes.
787
00:49:22,042 --> 00:49:23,418
Hold on there, Milo.
788
00:49:24,044 --> 00:49:25,295
Questions, Mr. Rayfield?
789
00:49:25,963 --> 00:49:26,963
Yes, Your Honor.
790
00:49:29,341 --> 00:49:31,176
Morning to you, Mr. Wilkes.
791
00:49:33,011 --> 00:49:34,513
Now, can you tell the jury,
792
00:49:34,972 --> 00:49:36,598
did my client, Miss Mary...
793
00:49:37,432 --> 00:49:40,060
sitting over there crocheting something
or other,
794
00:49:40,477 --> 00:49:44,564
did she invite you up to her place
for this so-called meeting?
795
00:49:45,774 --> 00:49:46,774
No.
796
00:49:47,317 --> 00:49:49,486
I asked her if she'd do a reading for me.
797
00:49:49,569 --> 00:49:51,822
Brung her purple turnips to thank her.
798
00:49:51,947 --> 00:49:53,657
So, it was your idea not hers?
799
00:49:54,825 --> 00:49:55,825
That's right.
800
00:49:55,993 --> 00:49:57,369
One more thing, Mr. Wilkes.
801
00:49:58,286 --> 00:50:00,998
Do you believe that Miss Shaw
can predict the future
802
00:50:01,081 --> 00:50:02,165
by reading her bones?
803
00:50:02,833 --> 00:50:05,502
Well, she done it for me.
804
00:50:05,961 --> 00:50:07,462
And for others before.
805
00:50:08,463 --> 00:50:10,924
She told old Jess Campbell
about some green bugs...
806
00:50:11,008 --> 00:50:12,568
Objection, Your Honor. This is hearsay.
807
00:50:12,634 --> 00:50:14,511
- Right you are.
- Well, I'll do the sustaining
808
00:50:14,594 --> 00:50:16,263
around here, counselor.
809
00:50:18,056 --> 00:50:19,056
Sustained.
810
00:50:19,850 --> 00:50:22,394
Just tell us an instance
from your own experience.
811
00:50:22,769 --> 00:50:25,856
Well, there's the time she said
there's a storm a-coming,
812
00:50:25,939 --> 00:50:27,983
I should get my crops in before it hit.
813
00:50:28,734 --> 00:50:29,734
That storm happen?
814
00:50:30,318 --> 00:50:31,318
It did.
815
00:50:32,362 --> 00:50:36,033
Got my crops harvested
in time to beat it, too.
816
00:50:41,329 --> 00:50:42,831
Thank you, Mr. Wilkes.
817
00:50:50,338 --> 00:50:51,339
You're dismissed.
818
00:50:53,008 --> 00:50:55,218
You may call your next witness,
Miss Carson.
819
00:50:56,803 --> 00:50:58,597
I wanted him to sell the land.
820
00:50:58,930 --> 00:51:01,433
We's dirt-poor
and it didn't make sense to hang on.
821
00:51:01,850 --> 00:51:03,810
We'd have enough money, move into town
822
00:51:03,894 --> 00:51:06,480
and maybe he could even
start up his garage.
823
00:51:06,563 --> 00:51:08,231
Ben was real good at mechanicals.
824
00:51:08,857 --> 00:51:10,358
Did you discuss this with him?
825
00:51:10,692 --> 00:51:12,444
We did and he agreed with me.
826
00:51:12,944 --> 00:51:14,404
I already made plans to move.
827
00:51:15,489 --> 00:51:17,324
Then what happened, Mrs. Jenkins?
828
00:51:17,574 --> 00:51:20,952
He come from seeing Bones,
talking about it weren't no good idea.
829
00:51:22,496 --> 00:51:25,123
And did he tell you
what Miss Shaw had said?
830
00:51:25,207 --> 00:51:26,207
Objection, Your Honor.
831
00:51:26,249 --> 00:51:28,689
He said there will be more
hard times a-coming,
832
00:51:28,752 --> 00:51:30,837
- if we ain't hang on to what we got.
- Hold on.
833
00:51:31,338 --> 00:51:35,050
When someone objects,
you zip it till make my ruling.
834
00:51:35,133 --> 00:51:36,133
Clear enough?
835
00:51:37,427 --> 00:51:38,762
Objection sustained.
836
00:51:38,845 --> 00:51:41,389
And, jury,
you are ordered to unring that bell.
837
00:51:42,182 --> 00:51:44,810
All right, you may resume, counselor.
838
00:51:45,310 --> 00:51:46,353
Mrs. Jenkins.
839
00:51:47,354 --> 00:51:48,730
Can you please tell the court
840
00:51:48,814 --> 00:51:51,650
why your husband is not here
to testify today?
841
00:51:52,776 --> 00:51:55,237
He done run off with Mayella Lowell.
842
00:51:55,695 --> 00:51:58,740
Leaving me with two young'uns
on a chunk of hard scrabble land
843
00:51:58,824 --> 00:52:01,701
that he still own,
wherever in tarnation he is.
844
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,079
And you bet I'm gonna find him.
And when I do...
845
00:52:04,162 --> 00:52:06,665
Seems like you're already dealing
with hard times.
846
00:52:06,832 --> 00:52:07,999
Oh, that's a fact.
847
00:52:08,625 --> 00:52:10,043
And I blame it all on her.
848
00:52:16,967 --> 00:52:17,967
Your witness.
849
00:52:34,818 --> 00:52:35,818
So,
850
00:52:36,153 --> 00:52:40,615
you don't believe in Miss Shaw's ability
to read her bones, right, Mrs. Jenkins?
851
00:52:41,366 --> 00:52:42,366
That's right.
852
00:52:43,118 --> 00:52:44,838
Then can you tell the court
why you yourself
853
00:52:44,911 --> 00:52:48,123
requested a reading from her
before your second child was born?
854
00:52:50,500 --> 00:52:53,003
Well, I... I...
855
00:52:55,589 --> 00:52:57,799
I was having an awful time with sickness,
856
00:52:57,883 --> 00:53:00,385
and I was worried something was wrong
with my baby.
857
00:53:00,927 --> 00:53:03,471
I thought she could tell me
what was in store for me.
858
00:53:03,972 --> 00:53:04,972
I see.
859
00:53:06,266 --> 00:53:08,143
Because she could look into the future?
860
00:53:14,149 --> 00:53:15,149
Mrs. Jenkins?
861
00:53:17,861 --> 00:53:19,487
Everything turned out fine.
862
00:53:20,363 --> 00:53:22,449
Is that what she said the bones told her?
863
00:53:23,658 --> 00:53:26,077
She must have guessed right,
is all I could say.
864
00:53:27,704 --> 00:53:29,164
Thank you, Mrs. Jenkins.
865
00:53:33,418 --> 00:53:34,628
What are you doing here?
866
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,714
Saving your case.
Everything you need is right in here.
867
00:53:39,591 --> 00:53:42,093
It's still early, Mr. Sullivan.
We don't need this.
868
00:53:47,891 --> 00:53:48,891
It's your call.
869
00:53:49,392 --> 00:53:50,392
For now.
870
00:53:50,727 --> 00:53:52,038
But if there's even a shred of doubt,
871
00:53:52,062 --> 00:53:54,064
I don't want you
to pull any punches tomorrow.
872
00:53:55,065 --> 00:53:57,025
I wanna be rid of her once and for all.
873
00:53:57,943 --> 00:53:58,943
Am I clear?
874
00:54:24,844 --> 00:54:25,844
Come in.
875
00:54:27,555 --> 00:54:29,057
I don't mean to disturb you.
876
00:54:29,140 --> 00:54:31,351
Oh, no, it's okay.
I'm not... I'm not sleeping.
877
00:54:33,770 --> 00:54:36,773
Oh, bless your heart. Another one?
878
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:39,901
I don't know what's going on.
879
00:54:41,653 --> 00:54:43,405
It got a little bit better
when I left home,
880
00:54:43,488 --> 00:54:46,408
but lately the aura's more intense.
881
00:54:46,491 --> 00:54:47,826
The images are more vivid.
882
00:54:49,119 --> 00:54:50,119
All right.
883
00:54:50,745 --> 00:54:52,539
Here, lie down.
884
00:54:54,249 --> 00:54:57,252
Oh, how I've missed this.
885
00:54:59,337 --> 00:55:01,923
- Oh.
- Mmm. Mmm.
886
00:55:05,176 --> 00:55:06,845
I'm worried about you, honey.
887
00:55:08,096 --> 00:55:10,724
For some reason,
I don't feel good about this trial.
888
00:55:11,558 --> 00:55:14,269
- I'm prepared, but...
- Do you have to go through with it?
889
00:55:14,352 --> 00:55:16,271
There's too much riding on it.
890
00:55:18,148 --> 00:55:22,319
My boss told me this is one case
I cannot afford to lose.
891
00:55:23,278 --> 00:55:25,363
Women don't get cases like this.
892
00:55:26,740 --> 00:55:28,199
I have to win this for them.
893
00:55:30,201 --> 00:55:31,578
I have to win this for me.
894
00:55:32,787 --> 00:55:35,290
Well, I believe in you, baby.
895
00:55:36,958 --> 00:55:39,836
And I also put in a word
with my prayer group.
896
00:55:41,254 --> 00:55:42,255

Do you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth,
911
00:56:37,519 --> 00:56:40,355
and nothing but the truth
in this case under penalty of perjury,
912
00:56:40,438 --> 00:56:41,481
so help you, God?
913
00:56:42,065 --> 00:56:43,065
You betcha, bud.
914
00:56:44,109 --> 00:56:46,653
I wouldn't lie to a lizard on a hot rock.
915
00:56:48,446 --> 00:56:49,989
Let alone to you boys.
916
00:56:52,325 --> 00:56:53,576
Now, Miss Mary...
917
00:56:54,619 --> 00:56:57,539
yesterday the jury heard
a lot of testimony
918
00:56:57,747 --> 00:56:59,749
from folks you've done readings for.
919
00:57:00,750 --> 00:57:02,377
Some believe, others don't.
920
00:57:03,211 --> 00:57:04,629
What are we to make of that?
921
00:57:05,213 --> 00:57:09,342
Well, I suppose I like a good yarn
as much as anybody.
922
00:57:10,343 --> 00:57:13,763
We all do, but some things are true
and others aren't.
923
00:57:14,264 --> 00:57:16,266
Can... can you help us sort this out?
924
00:57:16,933 --> 00:57:20,353
There's an old saying about a rooster
925
00:57:20,770 --> 00:57:23,231
who took credit for the sun coming up,
926
00:57:23,857 --> 00:57:26,109
but I don't take credit for anything.
927
00:57:26,484 --> 00:57:28,778
But you do know things ahead of time?
928
00:57:29,070 --> 00:57:30,405
Oh, Lord, yes.
929
00:57:30,780 --> 00:57:33,992
I know more secrets
than there are mites on a coyote.
930
00:57:35,660 --> 00:57:37,078
But, uh...
931
00:57:37,912 --> 00:57:39,664
Well, I keep 'em to myself.
932
00:57:40,582 --> 00:57:43,877
Unless someone plain-out asks me.
933
00:57:44,419 --> 00:57:45,503
And why is that?
934
00:57:46,379 --> 00:57:50,967
I just figured, you know,
there's no point in going around acting
935
00:57:51,050 --> 00:57:53,761
like you know stuff
just because you might.
936
00:57:53,970 --> 00:57:56,264
So you don't offer
any comments on the future
937
00:57:56,347 --> 00:57:58,308
unless a specific question is put to you?
938
00:57:59,184 --> 00:58:01,352
- That's right.
- But people do come to you
939
00:58:01,436 --> 00:58:05,231
from all over the county and the state,
and this country sometimes, am I right?
940
00:58:05,732 --> 00:58:07,317
They just show up at my door.
941
00:58:07,775 --> 00:58:09,694
I never turned anybody away.
942
00:58:10,069 --> 00:58:12,572
I just tries to help 'em best I can.
943
00:58:12,822 --> 00:58:15,992
Judging by their actions, would you say
that they appreciate what you tell them?
944
00:58:16,075 --> 00:58:17,994
Well, not always.
945
00:58:18,411 --> 00:58:20,538
See, I can't lie.
946
00:58:21,039 --> 00:58:24,083
So, if the bones is saying
something bad is happening...
947
00:58:24,709 --> 00:58:26,961
I mean, but... but they have to ask first.
948
00:58:27,462 --> 00:58:28,880
Would you say...
949
00:58:30,173 --> 00:58:31,758
Would you say that you had a gift?
950
00:58:36,638 --> 00:58:37,638
Truly.
951
00:58:38,973 --> 00:58:40,391
And why you in particular?
952
00:58:41,100 --> 00:58:42,227
I can't say.
953
00:58:42,894 --> 00:58:46,773
I suppose it, uh, runs in some families.
954
00:58:47,315 --> 00:58:50,568
My granddaddy on my mama's side,
955
00:58:50,652 --> 00:58:54,405
he done give me this old bag of bones
956
00:58:54,697 --> 00:58:57,367
and learned me how to read them
when I was a young'un.
957
00:58:57,617 --> 00:58:59,244
I took to it right off.
958
00:58:59,702 --> 00:59:02,997
I suppose he knew that somehow
I had the gift.
959
00:59:03,414 --> 00:59:04,654
And through the years,
960
00:59:04,707 --> 00:59:09,128
have you use this gift
to tell people what to do or how to act?
961
00:59:09,295 --> 00:59:10,295
Oh, no, siree.
962
00:59:10,463 --> 00:59:12,882
I just tells 'em what the bones says.
963
00:59:13,466 --> 00:59:16,970
Well, what they decide to do with it
is up to them.
964
00:59:17,053 --> 00:59:20,807
Can you understand why some people
wouldn't believe that you have this gift?
965
00:59:21,224 --> 00:59:22,892
Makes no never mind.
966
00:59:23,268 --> 00:59:25,562
Some people don't believe
in the Lord neither.
967
00:59:25,853 --> 00:59:27,814
I'm sure it don't bother Him none.
968
00:59:30,858 --> 00:59:31,858
Thank you.
969
00:59:32,110 --> 00:59:33,110
Your witness.
970
00:59:34,904 --> 00:59:36,322
Bring her down.
971
00:59:36,698 --> 00:59:39,784
If you lose this case, I'll see to it
that no law firm in this country
972
00:59:39,867 --> 00:59:41,411
will ever hire you again.
973
00:59:50,003 --> 00:59:52,088
You must make your mama so proud.
974
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:54,382
Nice of you to say, Miss Shaw.
975
00:59:54,882 --> 00:59:57,343
However, I am afraid
I do have a few questions.
976
00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:58,803
Well, shoot, hon.
977
00:59:58,886 --> 01:00:00,680
But... But before we do,
978
01:00:00,763 --> 01:00:03,725
- can... can I just wet my whistle?
- Of course.
979
01:00:14,777 --> 01:00:15,778
Ah, thank you.
980
01:00:23,828 --> 01:00:25,204
Now, go ahead, hon.
981
01:00:25,371 --> 01:00:26,371
Very well.
982
01:00:26,831 --> 01:00:27,831
Miss Shaw,
983
01:00:28,666 --> 01:00:31,419
you claim that you're able
to tell the future, is that right?
984
01:00:31,502 --> 01:00:36,507
No, I don't make any claims,
I just read what the bones tell me.
985
01:00:36,591 --> 01:00:39,802
Now, if you were to...
to read a book out loud,
986
01:00:39,886 --> 01:00:41,971
you wouldn't make any claims about it,
would you?
987
01:00:42,055 --> 01:00:44,375
We'll get back to that.
Now, you told the court
988
01:00:44,432 --> 01:00:47,268
that you don't advise people
one way or another, correct?
989
01:00:47,352 --> 01:00:48,186
That's right.
990
01:00:48,269 --> 01:00:51,064
You know this color
would be just right for you.
991
01:00:52,565 --> 01:00:53,775
Don't you think?
992
01:00:55,026 --> 01:00:56,026
Sure.
993
01:00:56,319 --> 01:00:57,319
May we continue?
994
01:00:57,737 --> 01:00:59,280
Oh, yeah, go ahead.
995
01:00:59,697 --> 01:01:01,949
Now, you've said
that you don't offer advice,
996
01:01:02,492 --> 01:01:05,161
but we've heard a number of witnesses
testify that you told them
997
01:01:05,244 --> 01:01:07,163
that you were not gonna sell
your own property.
998
01:01:07,622 --> 01:01:08,622
Well, that's right.
999
01:01:08,665 --> 01:01:11,751
Well, wouldn't it mean
that they should follow your example?
1000
01:01:12,251 --> 01:01:13,251
Why would it?
1001
01:01:14,045 --> 01:01:16,297
If I was to climb the old chestnut tree,
1002
01:01:16,381 --> 01:01:18,675
wouldn't mean you'd have to follow
just 'cause I did.
1003
01:01:21,260 --> 01:01:22,720
Let me put it this way.
1004
01:01:23,805 --> 01:01:26,224
How many of the people
who asked you for readings
1005
01:01:26,933 --> 01:01:31,562
went ahead and decided to sell their land
to my client after meeting with you?
1006
01:01:32,397 --> 01:01:33,690
I don't keep track.
1007
01:01:34,607 --> 01:01:35,607
Zero.
1008
01:01:35,983 --> 01:01:36,901
None.
1009
01:01:36,984 --> 01:01:38,403
Well, objection, Your Honor.
1010
01:01:38,611 --> 01:01:40,113
The counselor is testifying.
1011
01:01:40,196 --> 01:01:43,282
Let's not pick the gnat dung
out of the pepper, counselor.
1012
01:01:44,534 --> 01:01:45,534
Overruled.
1013
01:01:45,993 --> 01:01:49,706
How many of those same people,
before meeting with you,
1014
01:01:50,331 --> 01:01:53,960
had agreed to sell their land
in discussions with my client?
1015
01:01:56,045 --> 01:01:57,045
You tell me.
1016
01:01:57,547 --> 01:01:58,547
Eight.
1017
01:01:59,340 --> 01:02:02,760
Wouldn't that suggest to you
that your readings influenced
1018
01:02:02,844 --> 01:02:04,762
or interfered with their decisions?
1019
01:02:04,846 --> 01:02:06,514
Uh, nobody told me that.
1020
01:02:06,931 --> 01:02:07,931
I see.
1021
01:02:14,397 --> 01:02:17,650
May I ask you
if you charge for your services?
1022
01:02:18,401 --> 01:02:19,527
For reading the bones?
1023
01:02:20,027 --> 01:02:21,863
No. Not a lick.
1024
01:02:22,321 --> 01:02:23,990
Now, of course sometimes
1025
01:02:24,449 --> 01:02:26,325
folks'll leave something behind.
1026
01:02:26,868 --> 01:02:30,246
Little money or baked goods.
1027
01:02:31,289 --> 01:02:32,331
Old clothes.
1028
01:02:33,249 --> 01:02:34,667
Yarn, huh.
1029
01:02:35,251 --> 01:02:37,211
You know, that sort of thing.
1030
01:02:37,712 --> 01:02:39,630
But I never asks for nothing.
1031
01:02:39,714 --> 01:02:42,759
But you do often receive something
in return?
1032
01:02:43,468 --> 01:02:45,887
Yeah. Well, like I said... Oh, one time,
1033
01:02:46,345 --> 01:02:48,848
this old boy left me a poke of worms.
1034
01:02:50,433 --> 01:02:53,394
Well, now,
I caught myself a sweet trout off that.
1035
01:03:08,618 --> 01:03:09,618
Very well.
1036
01:03:10,995 --> 01:03:14,248
Let's get back to this gift
you say you have.
1037
01:03:14,332 --> 01:03:16,876
You told the jury you know things.
1038
01:03:17,460 --> 01:03:18,669
Uh-huh, I'm listening.
1039
01:03:29,806 --> 01:03:30,973
Miss Shaw...
1040
01:03:33,017 --> 01:03:35,228
some of the questions I'm about to ask you
1041
01:03:35,311 --> 01:03:38,397
may be difficult, but...
1042
01:03:41,984 --> 01:03:44,362
under the circumstances
I still must ask them.
1043
01:03:45,196 --> 01:03:46,322
All right, go ahead.
1044
01:03:49,450 --> 01:03:52,537
Your parents died in a house fire
when you were young woman, true?
1045
01:03:54,121 --> 01:03:55,121
Yes.
1046
01:03:55,706 --> 01:03:59,418
They's buried up on the rise
just north of town.
1047
01:03:59,961 --> 01:04:04,590
Did the bones not tell you beforehand
so that you might save them?
1048
01:04:06,467 --> 01:04:09,136
- No, it don't work like that.
- Well, how does it work?
1049
01:04:10,847 --> 01:04:12,265
Nobody can explain.
1050
01:04:12,348 --> 01:04:15,560
But you were unable to save them, right?
1051
01:04:17,395 --> 01:04:18,395
What?
1052
01:04:18,729 --> 01:04:22,358
Let me ask you about an incident
that occurred in 1914.
1053
01:04:22,608 --> 01:04:26,112
Were you attacked by a stranger
in April of that year?
1054
01:04:26,195 --> 01:04:27,864
Well... Why would you...
1055
01:04:27,947 --> 01:04:30,241
Did your bones not warn you of that event,
Miss Shaw?
1056
01:04:32,660 --> 01:04:35,413
Genevieve, don't talk to me about things
you know nothing about.
1057
01:04:35,496 --> 01:04:36,581
Your Honor, I object.
1058
01:04:36,664 --> 01:04:38,916
This is totally irrelevant
and out of bounds.
1059
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:41,080
It goes to the very issue of credibility,
Your Honor.
1060
01:04:41,127 --> 01:04:43,313
Miss Shaw claims to be a clairvoyant,
but when it comes to matters
1061
01:04:43,337 --> 01:04:45,339
of her own life or welfare,
1062
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,092
well, apparently she has no idea
what the future holds.
1063
01:04:50,219 --> 01:04:51,387
I'm gonna overrule.
1064
01:04:52,597 --> 01:04:54,307
You tread lightly, Miss Carson.
1065
01:04:55,349 --> 01:04:56,349
Miss Shaw,
1066
01:04:56,601 --> 01:04:58,144
the sheriff told our investigator
1067
01:04:58,227 --> 01:05:00,396
that the man who attacked you
was never found.
1068
01:05:00,897 --> 01:05:03,649
I couldn't... He wore a hood.
1069
01:05:03,733 --> 01:05:06,611
Did you or did you not consult your bones
1070
01:05:06,694 --> 01:05:09,155
to determine the identity of this man,
if not for you,
1071
01:05:09,238 --> 01:05:10,907
then for possible future victims?
1072
01:05:10,990 --> 01:05:13,868
Your Honor, I strongly object
to this line of questioning!
1073
01:05:13,951 --> 01:05:14,951
No.
1074
01:05:15,912 --> 01:05:16,912
No.
1075
01:05:18,247 --> 01:05:19,248
I wanna tell.
1076
01:05:22,376 --> 01:05:26,213
He must have been watching me
from the woods for a spell when...
1077
01:05:27,173 --> 01:05:30,509
'Cause it was right after Miss Olivia,
over there,
1078
01:05:30,968 --> 01:05:34,055
left after I... I read the bones for her.
1079
01:05:35,222 --> 01:05:41,270
Uh, I was closing the fence gate
when he come at me from behind.
1080
01:05:42,188 --> 01:05:45,149
He grabbed me,
and he wrestled me to the ground.
1081
01:05:46,943 --> 01:05:48,986
His hands were so big.
1082
01:05:50,613 --> 01:05:53,908
I tried to claw the hood off him.
1083
01:05:53,991 --> 01:05:57,036
His eyes were bloodshot, angry.
1084
01:05:57,828 --> 01:06:02,416
But when... when he grabbed the hood
to stop me from yanking it off,
1085
01:06:02,500 --> 01:06:04,794
and I was able to buck him off,
1086
01:06:05,044 --> 01:06:06,379
and I made for the shack.
1087
01:06:06,921 --> 01:06:09,131
He tore the door right off its hinges.
1088
01:06:09,590 --> 01:06:11,968
I couldn't get to the shotgun in time
1089
01:06:12,343 --> 01:06:15,054
before he got me and threw me down again.
1090
01:06:15,763 --> 01:06:17,139
He beat me bloody.
1091
01:06:17,932 --> 01:06:20,393
I... I thought he was gonna kill me,
1092
01:06:21,310 --> 01:06:24,438
but I bit him
and I cracked a chair over him.
1093
01:06:25,231 --> 01:06:26,899
And I broke for the woods.
1094
01:06:27,483 --> 01:06:30,486
He chased me up the trail
'til I tripped and fell.
1095
01:06:31,237 --> 01:06:33,781
And he... he plum knocked me out.
1096
01:06:36,784 --> 01:06:37,952
When I came to,
1097
01:06:38,369 --> 01:06:39,370
he was gone.
1098
01:06:40,579 --> 01:06:44,208
He left the hood behind like a curse.
1099
01:06:45,751 --> 01:06:47,420
And I burned that damn thing
1100
01:06:48,045 --> 01:06:50,297
as if I was sending it back
to hell itself.
1101
01:07:06,731 --> 01:07:09,108
In January of 1915...
1102
01:07:22,288 --> 01:07:23,831
In January of 1915,
1103
01:07:23,914 --> 01:07:27,001
it was reported there was a ch...
there was a child...
1104
01:07:28,502 --> 01:07:30,588
- as a result of...
- That's enough!
1105
01:07:30,963 --> 01:07:32,840
- Your Honor, please!
- I quite agree.
1106
01:07:33,382 --> 01:07:37,053
This is totally irrelevant
to the matter at hand, counselor.
1107
01:07:37,386 --> 01:07:40,806
I suggest we all take a deep breath
and come to our senses.
1108
01:07:41,682 --> 01:07:45,019
We stand in recess
and will resume in an hours' time.
1109
01:08:25,518 --> 01:08:28,145
There was a child. There was a child.
1110
01:08:44,537 --> 01:08:48,541
The counsel must be really desperate
to win this case to sink so low.
1111
01:08:48,624 --> 01:08:50,501
I can't believe she's that ruthless.
1112
01:08:54,672 --> 01:08:58,676
We gotta find out where this pressure
to win at all costs comes from.
1113
01:08:58,759 --> 01:09:00,636
I got an idea how we may get at that.
1114
01:09:02,012 --> 01:09:03,264
But I'mma need your help.
1115
01:09:08,936 --> 01:09:11,147
Rockdale County court is now
back in session.
1116
01:09:11,814 --> 01:09:12,898
Your Honor.
1117
01:09:13,858 --> 01:09:16,485
We would respectfully request
that the court allow Miss Mary
1118
01:09:16,569 --> 01:09:18,487
to demonstrate a reading of the bones.
1119
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:20,364
I beg your pardon?
1120
01:09:20,489 --> 01:09:23,659
I would like this court to see exactly
what it is we're talking about here.
1121
01:09:24,451 --> 01:09:27,705
Oh, well, I believe that's something
I'd like to take a gander at.
1122
01:09:28,914 --> 01:09:29,914
Miss Mary.
1123
01:09:47,641 --> 01:09:48,641
Miss Mary...
1124
01:09:49,810 --> 01:09:51,729
I'd like to plain-out ask you something.
1125
01:09:53,022 --> 01:09:56,192
Why is it so important
for Mountainside Land & Timber
1126
01:09:56,775 --> 01:09:59,653
to buy up the Danville properties
on the eastside of town?
1127
01:10:04,533 --> 01:10:05,910
Aren't you going to object?
1128
01:10:07,995 --> 01:10:08,995
No.
1129
01:10:58,420 --> 01:10:59,546
What is she saying?
1130
01:11:05,135 --> 01:11:06,135
No.
1131
01:11:07,179 --> 01:11:08,389
No.
1132
01:11:13,852 --> 01:11:16,647
It ain't the timber you're after.
1133
01:11:17,398 --> 01:11:18,691
It's the coal!
1134
01:11:19,275 --> 01:11:22,152
You wanna strip our land of the coal.
1135
01:11:23,028 --> 01:11:24,028
Is that true?
1136
01:11:25,030 --> 01:11:27,866
- You don't know what you're talking about.
- Oh, don't I?
1137
01:11:27,950 --> 01:11:31,287
You're joining up
with some mining company,
1138
01:11:31,370 --> 01:11:34,331
wants to strip our mountain
clean off the face of the earth.
1139
01:11:34,415 --> 01:11:36,834
There's no way
you could know about our plan.
1140
01:11:36,917 --> 01:11:41,338
No. They's not just gonna cheat you
out of your property,
1141
01:11:41,797 --> 01:11:44,425
they ain't even gonna tunnel.
1142
01:11:44,842 --> 01:11:47,303
They's just planning to claw the coal
1143
01:11:47,386 --> 01:11:49,096
from the top down.
1144
01:11:49,179 --> 01:11:52,558
Leave nothing but a scar on the land.
1145
01:11:52,641 --> 01:11:54,268
- No way.
- They can't do that.
1146
01:11:56,729 --> 01:11:58,147
Order!
1147
01:11:58,814 --> 01:12:01,692
Clearly, she ain't no fraud.
1148
01:12:04,278 --> 01:12:05,279
What are you doing?
1149
01:12:05,738 --> 01:12:06,739
I'm done.
1150
01:12:07,906 --> 01:12:10,034
You can't just walk out of here like that.
1151
01:12:10,409 --> 01:12:12,202
- Get back!
- Order!
1152
01:12:12,286 --> 01:12:14,055
You should've told me about this
from the get-go.
1153
01:12:14,079 --> 01:12:15,932
- Well, you've gotta do something.
- Let it go, Henry.
1154
01:12:15,956 --> 01:12:17,017
- Do something.
- Let it go.
1155
01:12:17,041 --> 01:12:18,667
You have to know when to fold 'em.
1156
01:12:21,587 --> 01:12:23,505
Order!
1157
01:12:24,298 --> 01:12:26,842
Counselor, how would you like to proceed?
1158
01:12:27,718 --> 01:12:29,198
Your Honor, we withdraw our petition.
1159
01:12:29,261 --> 01:12:31,597
Good enough for me. Case dismissed.
1160
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:33,599
[cheering
1161
01:12:45,861 --> 01:12:47,863
Ah.
1162
01:12:50,824 --> 01:12:52,076
Miss Mary! Miss Mary!
1163
01:12:52,159 --> 01:12:54,161
Please, back off, please.
Is there a doctor here?
1164
01:12:54,244 --> 01:12:55,244
No, no.
1165
01:12:55,287 --> 01:12:56,288
No. No doctor.
1166
01:12:56,538 --> 01:12:57,373
No, no.
1167
01:12:57,456 --> 01:12:58,457
Just get me home.
1168
01:13:02,127 --> 01:13:04,296
- Pardon.
- Thank you, ma'am.
1169
01:13:06,048 --> 01:13:07,132
Thank you, ma'am.
1170
01:13:09,510 --> 01:13:11,470
Thank you, Bones. Thank you.
1171
01:13:11,553 --> 01:13:12,554
Pardon us.
1172
01:13:13,222 --> 01:13:14,223
Thank you.
1173
01:13:18,102 --> 01:13:19,102
Genny,
1174
01:13:19,770 --> 01:13:20,770
remember...
1175
01:13:21,063 --> 01:13:25,150
sometimes in life you just have to make
those rock-hard decisions.
1176
01:13:26,151 --> 01:13:27,151
Okay.
1177
01:13:27,611 --> 01:13:28,654
So, tell me.
1178
01:13:29,988 --> 01:13:32,074
Why do I feel so connected to that woman?
1179
01:13:33,826 --> 01:13:35,202
How am I seeing her memories?
1180
01:13:36,245 --> 01:13:39,498
My headache visions, they are the stories
she just told in court.
1181
01:13:39,581 --> 01:13:42,376
There's things you don't know, baby,
1182
01:13:42,459 --> 01:13:46,380
but, well, it's... it's time you learned.
1183
01:13:46,964 --> 01:13:48,006
Tell me.
1184
01:13:49,174 --> 01:13:50,217
Tell me.
1185
01:13:50,759 --> 01:13:51,759
Not here.
1186
01:14:02,896 --> 01:14:04,314
I'm her daughter, aren't I?
1187
01:14:04,898 --> 01:14:05,898
From the assault.
1188
01:14:06,108 --> 01:14:07,108
You...
1189
01:14:07,818 --> 01:14:10,279
You adopted me, didn't you?
1190
01:14:13,407 --> 01:14:14,908
As much as we love you, baby,
1191
01:14:14,992 --> 01:14:19,204
we promised Miss Mary long ago
not to ever tell anyone, even you.
1192
01:14:19,538 --> 01:14:22,332
I mean, we swore it
to our own God's holy Bible.
1193
01:14:22,416 --> 01:14:24,251
- I know it's a lot...
- How could you?
1194
01:14:25,461 --> 01:14:27,921
She lost herself after you were born.
1195
01:14:28,714 --> 01:14:31,091
Unstable, unpredictable.
1196
01:14:31,842 --> 01:14:34,428
The county was going to take you
away from her.
1197
01:14:34,511 --> 01:14:36,513
She knew I couldn't have a child.
1198
01:14:37,097 --> 01:14:39,683
So, we agreed to take you in as a family,
1199
01:14:39,766 --> 01:14:42,311
and yes, honey, we... we adopted you.
1200
01:14:42,394 --> 01:14:46,023
And you let me go on with this...
with this... with this trial.
1201
01:14:47,065 --> 01:14:48,942
And we are so sorry for that.
1202
01:14:50,235 --> 01:14:51,945
But we promised Miss Mary
1203
01:14:52,029 --> 01:14:53,655
we wouldn't tell you the truth,
1204
01:14:53,739 --> 01:14:57,242
because she was so worried
it would be too hard on you.
1205
01:14:59,495 --> 01:15:01,038
But now that you know,
1206
01:15:01,121 --> 01:15:04,082
- you should go to her.
- Oh, my God, don't tell me what to do.
1207
01:15:07,377 --> 01:15:08,377
Just...
1208
01:15:11,673 --> 01:15:14,551
leave me alone right now.
I want you two to leave me be.
1209
01:15:20,057 --> 01:15:21,057
Come.
1210
01:15:38,367 --> 01:15:39,910
I want to thank you again.
1211
01:15:41,078 --> 01:15:43,205
Oh, don't look so worried.
1212
01:15:44,164 --> 01:15:46,291
Everything's going to be fine. You'll see.
1213
01:15:55,509 --> 01:15:56,927
Now, you two run along.
1214
01:15:57,970 --> 01:16:00,681
She and I have some fences to be mended.
1215
01:16:08,772 --> 01:16:10,524
Oh.
1216
01:16:14,069 --> 01:16:15,612
He's a good'un, all right.
1217
01:16:17,030 --> 01:16:18,240
You are, too, Miss Mary.
1218
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:21,200
Now scoot.
1219
01:16:22,953 --> 01:16:25,414
Why don't you come near
where I can see you right?
1220
01:16:28,417 --> 01:16:30,085
Is she gonna be all right, Daddy?
1221
01:16:30,919 --> 01:16:32,212
She'll be fine, son.
1222
01:16:33,046 --> 01:16:34,464
She's been through a lot today.
1223
01:16:46,685 --> 01:16:48,270
- I want to say...
- No, no.
1224
01:16:49,104 --> 01:16:50,355
No, don't say nothing.
1225
01:16:51,356 --> 01:16:52,691
Come... Come sit down.
1226
01:17:22,763 --> 01:17:24,931
Oh, my goodness!
1227
01:17:26,642 --> 01:17:30,103
I ain't touched you
since you was an infant.
1228
01:17:31,438 --> 01:17:33,440
I was afeared you'd know.
1229
01:17:34,399 --> 01:17:36,610
Well, I guess now you do know.
1230
01:17:37,736 --> 01:17:38,820
I used to think...
1231
01:17:40,072 --> 01:17:42,115
how my life would be different if...
1232
01:17:44,159 --> 01:17:46,411
But then I wouldn't have had you, would I?
1233
01:17:48,580 --> 01:17:49,915
You have the gift.
1234
01:17:52,209 --> 01:17:55,253
There's a... a scrapbook
in... in the truck there.
1235
01:17:56,254 --> 01:17:57,422
Fetch it for me.
1236
01:18:14,564 --> 01:18:17,317
Now, I don't want anything
you learned today
1237
01:18:18,151 --> 01:18:20,904
to change your feelings for the Carsons.
1238
01:18:22,364 --> 01:18:24,366
They's loving parents.
1239
01:18:25,033 --> 01:18:27,953
And they've been so good to me.
Come, sit down.
1240
01:18:29,037 --> 01:18:33,041
See, they... they always told me
what you was up to and...
1241
01:18:33,625 --> 01:18:36,545
Well, they sent me all these things.
1242
01:18:37,838 --> 01:18:38,838
Here.
1243
01:18:41,007 --> 01:18:42,134
Homecoming queen.
1244
01:18:42,217 --> 01:18:44,845
Ah! Oh, my dress.
1245
01:18:45,137 --> 01:18:46,513
- And my hair.
- Oh.
1246
01:18:47,556 --> 01:18:50,142
My beautiful sweet girl is...
1247
01:18:51,226 --> 01:18:52,519
growing into a...
1248
01:18:53,186 --> 01:18:55,605
a woman that'd make her mama proud.
1249
01:18:56,606 --> 01:18:57,606
Oh.
1250
01:18:58,984 --> 01:19:00,736
So proud.
1251
01:19:02,612 --> 01:19:08,785
You know, I was... I was named Mary
'cause my mama loved the Bible,
1252
01:19:09,536 --> 01:19:11,663
but I wanted to name you after her.
1253
01:19:12,414 --> 01:19:13,582
Genevieve.
1254
01:19:14,458 --> 01:19:15,751
It's such a lovely name.
1255
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:21,465
I... I made you a ragdoll
to watch over you.
1256
01:19:21,548 --> 01:19:22,758
Abby?
1257
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:25,051
You made my Abby?
1258
01:19:27,220 --> 01:19:28,930
I... I still have her. You'll...
1259
01:19:30,056 --> 01:19:32,684
You will never know how much comfort
she's given me.
1260
01:19:38,690 --> 01:19:42,152
Can you ever forgive me
for lettin' you go?
1261
01:19:44,446 --> 01:19:45,446
Forgive you?
1262
01:19:50,577 --> 01:19:52,329
How could you ever forgive me?
1263
01:19:53,205 --> 01:19:56,291
- Today, I was a...
- No. Shh, shh. Shush.
1264
01:19:56,958 --> 01:19:59,878
I prayed to the Lord to see you again.
1265
01:20:00,962 --> 01:20:02,506
And he made it happen.
1266
01:20:06,092 --> 01:20:07,092
I...
1267
01:20:09,513 --> 01:20:10,555
Are you okay?
1268
01:20:10,931 --> 01:20:11,807
Yeah, um...
1269
01:20:11,890 --> 01:20:13,099
Yes, yes.
1270
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:14,600
I just, uh...
1271
01:20:16,061 --> 01:20:17,229
a mite tuckered out.
1272
01:20:17,646 --> 01:20:18,646
That's all.
1273
01:20:19,314 --> 01:20:20,314
Oh.
1274
01:20:20,607 --> 01:20:22,609
I ain't goin' nowhere, uh-uh.
1275
01:20:23,443 --> 01:20:27,948
Leastwise not 'til I finish that scarf
I worked on for you.
1276
01:20:32,369 --> 01:20:33,369
Thank you.
1277
01:20:33,411 --> 01:20:34,412
Uh...
1278
01:20:35,288 --> 01:20:38,917
You can't hurry yourself back to health,
so, what do I...
1279
01:20:40,335 --> 01:20:42,337
How... How can I help?
1280
01:20:43,213 --> 01:20:44,256
Ah.
1281
01:20:45,131 --> 01:20:46,174
Next week,
1282
01:20:46,716 --> 01:20:49,469
is Wendell at the mercantile's birthday.
1283
01:20:50,220 --> 01:20:55,559
I... I... I wanna make sure he gets
the two dollars that I saved up for him.
1284
01:20:56,101 --> 01:20:57,727
He's been so good to me.
1285
01:20:58,061 --> 01:20:59,354
Oh, and...
1286
01:21:00,313 --> 01:21:01,439
Darby Jenkins,
1287
01:21:01,857 --> 01:21:03,358
you got to keep an eye on her.
1288
01:21:03,608 --> 01:21:06,111
She's pregnant again,
but she don't know it yet.
1289
01:21:08,738 --> 01:21:09,739
I promise.
1290
01:21:11,950 --> 01:21:16,121
And try and get to know that lawyer fella
out on the porch.
1291
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:18,623
He has a good heart.
1292
01:21:19,624 --> 01:21:21,334
And his boy needs a mama.
1293
01:21:21,918 --> 01:21:23,461
Now, that's all I'm gonna say.
1294
01:21:26,214 --> 01:21:29,426
One more thing... I got to tell you about.
1295
01:21:32,762 --> 01:21:34,180
These bones...
1296
01:21:35,974 --> 01:21:37,183
is just for show.
1297
01:21:38,351 --> 01:21:41,021
The gift is inside you.
1298
01:21:41,730 --> 01:21:43,273
I know this to be true.
1299
01:21:44,566 --> 01:21:47,819
And... And when you learn
how to use 'em proper,
1300
01:21:48,653 --> 01:21:50,530
well, then the pain goes away.
1301
01:21:51,323 --> 01:21:57,287
and then all the things you see just float
easy and clear like spring water.
1302
01:22:02,751 --> 01:22:03,752
Will you show me?
1303
01:22:05,003 --> 01:22:08,256
Now, some things can't be undone.
1304
01:22:09,424 --> 01:22:11,843
And some things can't be foretold.
1305
01:22:13,053 --> 01:22:15,138
But I'll do what I can to help you.
1306
01:22:16,222 --> 01:22:17,222
Yes.
1307
01:22:19,059 --> 01:22:20,310
'Cause we outsiders...
1308
01:22:21,311 --> 01:22:22,646
we have to stick together.
1309
01:22:23,021 --> 01:22:24,021
Oh.
1310
01:22:25,065 --> 01:22:27,025
You's always in my heart.
1311
01:22:28,777 --> 01:22:29,778
We're family.
1312
01:22:31,446 --> 01:22:33,531
- Will you pray with me?
- Hmm.
1313
01:22:36,785 --> 01:22:37,953
Dear Lord,
1314
01:22:39,037 --> 01:22:40,330
thank you again
1315
01:22:40,997 --> 01:22:42,832
for bringing my daughter back to me.
1316
01:22:44,209 --> 01:22:45,502
And bless her,
1317
01:22:45,919 --> 01:22:47,587
as you have blessed me.
1318
01:22:48,672 --> 01:22:51,007
And give her all the help she needs
1319
01:22:51,424 --> 01:22:55,720
to find all the joy in this old world.
1320
01:22:57,931 --> 01:22:59,057
- Amen.
- Amen.
1321
01:23:02,352 --> 01:23:03,352
Oh.
1322
01:23:04,312 --> 01:23:06,815
You is my treasure, Genevieve.
1323
01:23:09,526 --> 01:23:11,569
- I can't ask you to stay.
- Shh.
1324
01:23:14,614 --> 01:23:15,615
Come on now.
1325
01:23:16,032 --> 01:23:17,075
You need to rest.
1326
01:23:19,703 --> 01:23:20,829
All right.
1327
01:23:23,540 --> 01:23:24,582
