LONELY WITHOUT HIM.

YEAH, EVEN
THE BOUNCING
BASKETBALL

AT 5 A.M.
IN THE MORNING?

YEAH, I KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING, SARAH.

IT WON'T BE LONG
BEFORE IT'LL BE WILFORD.

THAT CHILD IS CERTAINLY
GROWING UP, ISN'T HE?

YOU KNOW,
HE REALLY ADMIRES
YOUR NATHANIEL.

ANYTHING
YOUR SON TRIES,
MY SON IS BOUND TO COPY.

EVEN WITH--

IS THIS
YOUR SON?

YES.

I'M AL PATTERSON,
THE MANAGER,

AND I FOUND HIM
WITH THIS.

MA--MAMA,
YOU SAID

I COULD HAVE IT
OVER THERE, REMEMBER?

?
SOME CANDY

I--I DON'T
UNDERSTAND.

MR. PATTERSON,
I WAS JUST
RINGING IT UP

WITH THE REST OF
MRS. ROBINSON'S STUFF.

OH, 15-CENT
CANDY BAR.

WILFORD, IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHETHER IT'S 15 CENTS

OR A MILLION DOLLARS.
IT'S STEALING.

[Cries]

DON'T CRY
NO MORE, MAMA.

I WON'
T DO IT AGAIN.

I PROMISE I'LL
NEVER DO IT AGAIN.

IT'S OK, WILFORD.

YOU'RE A
GOOD BOY.

I KNOW.
YOU'RE A
REAL GOOD BOY.

[Knock on door]

IT'S THE
WELFARE LADY,
MAMA.

OH, LORD.
NOT AT A TIME
LIKE THIS.

WILFORD,
YOU GO IN
AND WASH UP.

[Mrs. Parsons]
WELL, SARAH,
HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

FINE. MRS. PARSONS,
I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU
HERE TODAY.

I WOULD'VE TIDIED UP
A LITTLE BIT.

WELL, DON'T WORRY
ABOUT THAT.

BUT THERE IS
A REASON

WHY I MADE
A SPECIAL TRIP
OVER HERE

BECAUSE THERE IS
SOMETHING I WANT
TO FIND OUT.

[Sighs]

WHY HAVEN'T WE HAD
YOUR REGULAR
MEDICAL REPORT?

I'LL TELL YOU WHY.

BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T TAKE
THE TIME TO BOTHER

TO GO DOWN TO
THE CLINIC FOR YOUR
REGULAR MEDICAL CHECKUP.

NOW, LOOK, SARAH,
YOU AND I BOTH KNOW

THAT THE ONLY REASON
THAT THE DEPARTMENT

SENDS YOU THOSE CHECKS
EACH AND EVERY MONTH

IS BECAUSE OF
YOUR SUPPOSED
HEART CONDITION.

YES,
I UNDERSTAND THAT.

AND IF IT WASN'T
FOR THAT HEART CONDITION,

WE WOULDN'T EVEN CONSIDER
PAYING THE STATE'S MONEY

TO A HEALTHY GIRL
LIKE YOU.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

YOU DO UNDERSTAND?

YES, I DO.

.
SEE, IF I COUL
D HOLD A JOB
, I REALLY WOULD

THE MINUTE THAT
THEY FIND OUT

THAT THERE'S ANY NONSENSE
IN YOUR MEDICAL REPORT,

YOU CAN BE QUITE CERTAIN
THAT YOUR CHECKS
ARE GONNA STOP.

WELL, I'LL GO DOWN
TO THE CLINIC.

GOOD.

THEN THAT
SETTLES THAT.

EVERYTHING ELSE OK?

YEAH.

HOW IS
LITTLE WILFORD?

HE'S FINE.

HE'S NOT GETTING INTO
ANY TROUBLE, IS HE?

OH, NO.
WILFORD?

S
WELL, I KNOW
HOW DIFFICULT IT I

RAISING A CHIL
D WITHOUT A FATHER.

BUT IT'S YOUR DUTY
TO KEEP LITTLE WILFORD

FROM EVIL COMPANIONS.

[Laughs]

EVIL COMPANIONS.

I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE
SHE'D SAY THAT.

BUT SHE DID!

EVIL COMPANIONS.

WHERE DO THEY FIND
THEM WELFARE LADIES?

DOWN THERE WITH
THE EVIL COMPANIONS.

[Laughing]

SEE YOU LATER,
HEAR?

ALL RIGHT,
PEACE.
TAKE CARE.

GOOD NIGHT, NOW.
KEEP COOL.

GOOD NIGHT,
MUMS.

GOOD NIGHT,
SARAH.

BYE.

THAT'S
ENOUGH.

YOU SURE
YOU'RE FEELING
ALL RIGHT, HUH?

YEAH,
I FEEL
FINE.

MY HEART FEELS
MUCH BETTER NOW.

YOU DIDN'T HAVE
NO BUSINESS DANCING,
ANYWAY.

WHAT DO YO
U EXPECT ME TO DO,

SIT BACK THERE AND
TWIDDLE MY THUMBS

WHILE YOU CARRY ON
WITH EDNA?

OH, WHAT WAS
I SUPPOSED TO DO?

SHE JUST DRAGGED ME
ON THE FLOOR.

I DIDN'T SEE YOU
PUTTING UP
ANY FIGHT.

HEY, HEY.
HEY, HEY.

OH HO.

WAIT
A MINUTE.

WAIT A MINUTE.
I WAS ONLY JIVIN'.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW ME
BETTER THAN THAT.

YEAH, MAYB
E YOU WERE JIVING,

.
BUT I AIN'
T TOO SURE
ABOUT EDNA

ARE YOU
JEALOUS?

MAYBE.

WELL, BABY, IF, UH,

A CLOSER EYE ON ME.

CHARLIE,

MARRIED

NOPE.

TALKING ABOUT
MOVING IN.

WELFARE WOULD
LOVE THAT.

ALL RIGHT, I'M TALKING
ABOUT GETTING MARRIED.

?
WELL, THEN, WHO'S
GONNA PAY THE RENT

WELL, WHO
DO YOU THINK?
I WILL.

I MEAN, I CAN FIND
A BETTER JOB.

IT'S NOT LIKE I AIN'T--
I AIN'T BEEN TRYING.

I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN
TRYING, CHARLIE.

YEAH, BUT IT AIN'T
GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU.

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS
I AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH
FOR YOU--

SHH.

[Sighs]

COME ON NOW, CHARLIE,
YOU'RE GETTING SO HEAVY.

WELL, SURE.
THIS--THIS--

THIS IS
A HEAVY TOWN.

YOU FEEL IT
SOMETIMES.

IT'S LIKE
THE WHOLE CITY

HEY, BUT YOU GOT

BUT I AIN'T JOKING

THIS WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE OUR NIGHT.

OH, COME ON, SARAH.
WHAT IS IT?

CHARLIE.

I'M NOT

[Laughs]
TELEVISION?

OH, WHAT IS WRONG
WITH YOU? ARE YOU SICK?

I THINK IT'S

I AIN'T
THROWING YOU

THIS NEIGHBORHOOD

TO MAKE SOMETHING
OUT OF HIMSELF.

.
NOW, HOLD ON THERE

I MEAN,
SOMETHING LEGAL.

[Giggling]

IF THE GOOD LORD
DIDN'T BELIEVE
IN NUMBERS,

HE WOULD NOT HAVE
INVENTED THE WHEEL.

HALT!

POLICE!

NATHANIEL, YOU MUST
LIVE ON THAT STUFF.

HARD TO BELIEVE
ORANGE SODA

COULD MAKE A KID
GROW 8 FEET TALL.

[Laughs]
THANKS, CORNBREAD.

YEAH,
THANKS.

I BETTER
GET ON HOME.

AH, IT'S RAINING
TOO HARD, SON.

AND YOU'LL DROWN
OUT THERE.

HE'S SO QUICK, HE CAN RUN
BETWEEN THE RAINDROPS.

HE'S THE QUICKEST
THERE IS.

OH, YEAH?

HE IS.

AIN'T YOU
THE QUICKEST,
CORNBREAD?

QUICK ENOUGH.

I BET YOU COULD MAKE
IT HOME FROM HERE

IN ABOUT
10 SECONDS FLAT.

OHH.

NO, NOT THAT FAST,
LITTLE COUSIN.

MAYBE...
IN THIS RAIN...

I COULD MAKE IT
IN 25 SECONDS.

NO WAY. YOU'LL
NEVER DO IT.

I BET HE COULD.

I BET HE
COULDN'T.

WHAT YOU GOT
TO BET, LITTLE MAN?

BET HIM
A BOTTLE
OF POP.

IS THAT A DEAL?
THAT'S A DEAL.

OK, MR. J,
ONE MORE ORANG
E FOR WHEN I GET HOME.

HOW WE GONNA
TIME YOU,
CORNBREAD?

LOOK,
I GOT THE WATCH.

NO, NO, NO, NO.

NOTHING ON YOU
RUNS STRAIGHT.

WE'LL USE MINE.

JESUS, LARRY!

YOU SEE HIM?

NO.

WHERE THE HELL
DID HE GO?

LISTEN, JOHN,
BE CAREFUL.

HE COULD BE SOME
KIND OF NUT.

YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN?

OK, EVERYBODY
OUTSIDE.

GET ON BACK IN
YOUR APARTMENTS.

GET BACK I

HEY,

YOU KILLED
CORNBREAD!

HE'S DEAD!

THEY KILLED HIM,
AND HE WASN'T
DOING NOTHING!

[Man]
THEY THINK THEY'RE
BRAVE SHOOTING KIDS.

HE WAS JUST RUNNING HOME
AND THEY KILLED HIM!

[Woman]
THEY AIN'T NO DAMN GOOD.

[John]
HEY, QUIET DOWN.

HEY, KID.

YOU KILLED HIM!

[2nd woman]
DIRTY PIGS...

CORNBREAD!

THEY KILLED HIM!

[Shouting]

.
GO ON BACK

2-A 36 REQUESTING

CODE 2.

AHH!

UHH!

YOU SON
OF A BITCH!

WILFORD!

WILFORD!

[Sirens]

WHAT ARE
YOU DOING,
CRAZY?

WILFORD!

YOU ALL RIGHT?

ARE YO
U ALL RIGHT?

ARE YOU HURT?
ANSWER ME.

THEY KILLED
CORNBREAD.

ARE YOU CRAZY?
WE GOTTA GET
OUT OF HERE.

.
EVERYBODY'
S CRAZY. COME ON

THAT'S HIM, MAMA.
THAT'S CORNBREAD.

NO, NO, NO,
IT AIN'T CORN--

OH, MY GOD.
[Sobs]

WHY?

WHY'D YOU LET THEM
DO THIS TO US?

[Doctor]
IS THAT YOUR SON?

I'M SORRY,

BUT IS THAT
NATHANIEL HAMILTON?

SIGN HERE,
PLEASE.

THANK YOU.

CAN, UH...

CAN WE--
WE HAVE HIM NOW?

.
STREET AIN'T NEVER
BEEN THIS CLEAN BEFORE

THEY THINK THEY CAN
WIPE OUT CORNBREAD

THAT EASILY.

MAMA, I DON'T THIN
K I'LL PLAY BASKETBALL

AS LON
G AS I LIVE.

YES, YOU WILL,
TOO.

NOT TODAY,

BUT SOMEDAY
SOON.

THEY MURDERED HIM,
MAMA.

THEY KILLED HIM.

THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO KILL YOU.

WHO'S GOING
TO STOP THEM?

YOU AND ME.

CORNBREAD
DIDN'T MAKE IT,

BUT WE'RE GOING
TO WORK REAL HARD,

WE'RE GOING
TO GET YOU
OUT OF HERE.

I'M AFRAID I STILL
DON'T UNDERSTAND

PRECISELY WHAT IT IS
YOU EXPECT OF ME.

THE POLICE KILLED
OUR BOY.

YES, I KNOW.

CAN'T NOTHING
BE DONE ABOUT THAT?

ACCORDING TO
THE NEWSPAPERS,
HE ASSAULTED A WOMAN

AND VERY NEARLY
KILLED HER.

THAT'S A LIE.

MY SON DIDN'T
COMMIT NO CRIME.

WELL, THEN WHY DID HE
RUN FROM THE POLICE?

HE WASN'T RUNNING
FROM THE POLICE.

HE WAS AT THE CANDY STORE
DRINKING A SODA.

HE WAS RUNNING HOME
IN THE RAIN...

WHEN THEY SHOT HIM
IN THE BACK.

AND HE HAD
NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE CRIME?

NOTHING.

WELL, THEY SAY
THE VICTIM

IS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY
HER ASSAILANT.

WELL,
I WISH SHE COULD,
MR. BLACKWELL,

BECAUS
E IF SHE COULD,

.
SHE WOULD TELL YOU
IT WAS NOT OUR SON

WELL, THEN, YOU WANT ME
TO BRING AN ACTION

AGAINST THE CITY
FOR WRONGFUL DEATH.

WELL, YOU SEE,
IF THE POLICE

SHOT AND KILLED YOUR SON
WITHOUT JUST CAUSE,

YOU CAN SUE THE CITY
AND COLLECT DAMAGES.

WE DON'T WANT
MONEY.

WE WANT OUR SON'S
NAME CLEARED.

WE DON'T
WANT NOBODY

GOING AROUND SAYING
THAT OUR SON
WAS A CRIMINAL.

WE WANT THE POLICE
TO ADMIT

THAT THEY DID
SOMETHING WRONG.

I'M AFRAID
YOU WON'T GET THEM

TO ADMIT ANYTHING.

YOU'LL HAVE TO PROVE IT
IN A COURTROOM.

THEN WE
GO TO COURT.

PERHAPS YOU OUGHT

TO THINK THIS OVER
FOR A FEW DAYS.

FIRST THERE'LL BE
AN INQUEST,

THEN YOU'LL FILE
YOUR CIVIL SUIT.

THE PROCEDURES
WILL BE EXPENSIVE

AND VERY DIFFICULT.

[Intercom buzzes]

EXCUSE ME.

YES?

UH, TELL HIM
I'LL CALL BACK,

AND HOLD
ALL CALLS,
PLEASE.

THANK YOU.

I'M SORRY FOR
THE INTERRUPTION.

THE, UH, CITY
HAS RECEIVED

A LOT OF BAD PUBLICITY
IN THIS MATTER.

YOU CAN EXPECT
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY,

THE CORONER,

AND THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT

TO CLOSE RANKS AND TRY
TO PROTECT EACH OTHER.

YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND
WITNESSES.

WE GOT
WITNESSES.

YOU'D BE SURPRISED
HOW STRANGELY PEOPLE BEHAVE

WHEN THEY HAVE TO TESTIFY
IN A LEGAL MATTER.

THERE'LL BE PRESSURE
BROUGHT TO BEAR

IN A LOT OF PLACES.

WHAT'S--
WHAT'S THIS?

THAT'S A PLANE
TICKET.

I'M AFRAID
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

MR. BLACKWELL...

OUR SON
WAS A FINE ATHLETE.

A LOT OF COLLEGES

OFFERED HIM
SCHOLARSHIPS,

AND HE HAD
FINALLY DECIDED

WHICH SCHOOL
HE WANTED TO GO TO.

THIS MORNING,

WE WERE SUPPOSED

TO DRIVE HIM
TO THE AIRPORT

SO HE COULD FLY
DOWN TO SCHOOL.

THAT'S HIS PLANE
TICKET.

WE'LL CASH IT IN

AND BRING YOU
THE MONEY

AS PART OF
YOUR FEE.

MRS. HAMILTON...

YOU DON'T
HAVE TO DO THAT.

THAT'S THE WAY
WE WANT IT,
MR. BLACKWELL.

[Sarah laughs]

[Gasps
] OH, MY GOODNESS.

YOU CAN SEE THE WHOLE
WORLD FROM UP HERE.

COME ON, NOW,
WILFORD,

YOU CAN'T SEE
NOTHING

STARIN
G AT YOUR LAP.

AIN'T NOTHING
I WANT TO SEE.

HEY, LOOK-
- LOOK OVER THERE.

THAT MUST BE
OUR STREET CORNER.

WILFORD, WON'T YOU
AT LEAST LOOK?

OK, I'M LOOKING.

YOU SHOULDN'T
BE HERE, BEN.

LOOK,
I KNOW THAT,

BUT I TOLD
THE HAMILTONS

THAT YOU AND I
GREW UP

NEXT DOOR
TO EACH OTHER.

BY THE TIME I WAS
10 YEARS OLD, YOU WERE--

AND I WAS SURE YOU
WERE A STRAIGHT COP.

ARE YOU STILL
PLANNING

TO BE A TEACHER?

YEAH.

6 YEARS
OF NIGHT SCHOOL.

I SHOULD GET
MY CREDENTIAL
IN JANUARY,

THEN WE'LL SEE
WHAT HAPPENS.

I MEAN, I'M NOT
A LAWYER, BEN,

BUT I DO THE BEST
I CAN.

I ADMIRE YOU
FOR STICKING WITH IT.

WHAT DO YOU WANT,
BEN?

I'M HOPING YOU CAN
TELL ME SOMETHING

ABOUT THE HAMILTON
CASE.

WE FILED A COMPLETE
REPORT

WITH THE DIVISION,
RIGHT?

AND THEN THEY, IN TURN,
SENT COPIES TO HOMICIDE,

THE DA'S OFFICE,

AND INTERNAL AFFAIRS,

WHICH I'M SURE
YOU'VE READ.

NOW, AS LONG
AS GOLICH AND I

TESTIFY TO WHAT'S
IN THAT REPORT,

EXACTLY WHAT'S
IN THAT REPORT,

WE GOT NO PROBLEMS.

THE CITY WILL BACK
US 100 PERCENT.

NOW, WE CHANGE
ONE WORD, BEN,

AND WE GOT TROUBLES.

NOW, YOU KNOW THAT, BEN,
SO DON'T--

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

THERE MUST BE MORE
TO THIS THING

THAN WHAT'S IN
THAT REPORT.

WELL, YOU'RE TALKING
TO THE WRONG GUY.

TALK TO GOLICH.

HE'S ALL UPTIGHT
ABOUT THIS MESS.

BUT NOT YOU?

NO, NOT ME.

I KNOW WE SHOT
THE RIGHT GUY.

UH, HOW COME GOLICH
DOESN'T KNOW IT?

WELL, HE KNOWS IT,

BUT THOSE NEWSPAPERS,
YOU KNOW,

THEY KIND OF
CONFUSED HIM.

I MEAN,
THEY GOT HEADLINES

LIKE
"MISTAKEN IDENTITY"

AND "GOOD FAMILY, GOOD KID,
POLICE BRUTALITY."

YOU'VE HEARD IT ALL
BEFORE, BEN.

OFFICER GOLICH
HAS A CONSCIENCE.

WELL, HE CAN AFFORD ONE.
HE'S WHITE.

WHITE, BLACK,
GREEN, RED.

I WONDER IF YOU KNOW
ALL ABOUT THE KID.

YOU MEAN THAT HE WAS
AN ATHLETE, RIGHT?

BIG-TIME HERO, RIGHT?

GOOD GUY.

HAD A SCHOLARSHIP.

EVERYBODY'S DARLING.

SHIT, MAN,

HE JUST NEVER
GOT CAUGHT BEFORE.

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU
I HAVE WITNESSES?

NOW, I'M NOT DRAWING
ANY CONCLUSIONS.

WITNESSES
WHO'VE TOLD ME

THAT CORNBREAD
COULDN'T HAVE

COMMITTED
ANY CRIME.

THAT THEY
ACTUALLY
SAW HIM

P
DRINKING
A BOTTLE OF PO

IN A GROCERY STORE
AT THE TIME.

SO THAT--

THAT MEANS
I'M LYING, RIGHT?

OH, FOR CHRIST'S
SAKE, LARRY.

I'M SURE YOU DID

WHAT YOU THOUGHT
WAS RIGHT.

MAYBE I'D HAVE DONE
THE SAME THING.

OH, WOULD YOU, BEN?

WOULD YOU?
YOU IN YOUR--

YOUR BROOKS BROTHERS
LAWYER'S SUIT.

.
NOW, WAIT A MINUTE

WHERE DID YOU THINK
I GOT THIS,
IN LAW SCHOOL?

14 YEARS OLD.

RIGHT IN FRONT
OF THE HOUSE

ON THE STREET
WHERE YOU LIVED.

WELL,
IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME

YOU HEALED UP
REAL WELL, BEN,

BUT I AM STILL
ON THOSE SAME

FUNKY STREETS
DAY AFTER DAY

TRYING TO DEAL
WITH THEM MANIACS, MAN,

AND LET ME
TELL YOU SOMETHING.

THOSE CATS
ARE AFTER ME

WITH MORE
THAN JUST A--

A SAFETY RAZOR.

NOW, DON'T GIVE ME

THAT "POOR COP
ON THE BEAT,

"BIG-CITY LAWYER"
SHIT.

WELL, THEN DON'T
GIVE ME THAT

"OLD BUDDY FROM
THE NEIGHBORHOOD" CRAP.

MAN, THIS IS ME, BEN.
THIS IS LARRY.

NOW, YOU COULD
NOT WAIT TO GET

YOUR BLACK ASS
OUT OF THAT
NEIGHBORHOOD.

DON'T JIVE
ME, MAN.

YOU KNOW,

I'M BEGINNING
TO UNDERSTAND.

YOU SPENT 6 YEARS
GETTING READY

TO EDUCATE
THE NATIVES,

AND NOW THEY TURN
AROUND AND CLOBBER

THE GREAT
MISSIONARY.

NO, THEY'RE NOT
NATIVES, BEN.

THEY'RE SAVAGES,

AND I'M THE KEEPER
OF THE SAVAGES,

AND I KEEP THEM
ALL TOGETHER

SO THEY'LL
CHOP EACH OTHER UP

AND NOT MAYBE GO INTO
YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, BEN,

AND CHOP UP THE...

GOOD PEOPLE.

FOR A GUY WHO WAS
ONLY DOING HIS DUTY,

YOU'RE MIGHTY
WORKED UP.

NOW, YOU LISTEN
TO ME.

YOU EVER STOP
TO THINK WHY

THOSE PEOPLE BEAT
YOU ON THE HEAD?

BECAUS
E THEY'VE SEEN

COPS GUN DOWN
PEOPLE BEFORE

AND NEVER
MADE A MOVE.

WHY THIS TIME?

WHY?

BECAUSE CORNBREAD
WAS A GOOD KID,

AND BECAUSE
THEY KNOW

HE NEVER DID
ANYTHING

TO EARN A BULLET
IN THE HEART.

YOU--YOU TALK ABOUT
TEACHING. TEACHING?

ARE YOU GOING
TO TELL THOSE KIDS

THEY'RE NOTHING
BUT SAVAGES?

NO, BEN.
YOU'LL TELL THEM,

BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU
TELL THEM THAT

EVERY DAY
OF THEIR LIVES.

IF THAT'S
HOW YOU FEEL,

A DECENT, HONEST GUY
LIKE YOURSELF,

WHAT CHANCE
HAVE THEY GOT?

SAME CHANCE
EVERYBODY'S GOT.

NOW, I'M TIRED,
BEN,

SO JUST GET OUT.

I'LL BE DAMNED.

[Sarah]
I DON'T KNOW WHY,
BUT I ALWAYS LIKED

THE FERRIS WHEEL
THE BEST.

,
[Wilford]
YOU KNOW, MAMA

I KEEP TALKING
ABOUT CORNBREAD,

AND YOU KEEP TALKING
ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE

D
NOW, WE GOING TO HAVE
TO TALK ABOUT CORNBREA

SOONER OR LATER.

THAT'S ALL
WE'VE BEEN DOING

FOR DAYS NOW.

THINKING ABOUT
CORNBREAD,

TALKING ABOUT
CORNBREAD,

BUT IT AIN'T
DOING US NO GOOD.

NO MATTER WHAT
WE DO,

WE CAN'T
BRING HIM BACK.

CORNBREAD
COULD'VE HIT
50 STRAIGHT.

WHAT ABOUT
THE LOOPER?

WANT TO GO
ON THAT?

NAH.

I COME TO THE CARNIVAL
ONCE WITH CORNBREAD.

HE DIDN'T LIKE
THE LOOPER.

CORNBREAD'S
NOT HERE.

YOU AND I ARE.

YEAH, I KNOW.
CORNBREAD AIN'T HERE.

TELL ME WHY.

MAMA, CAN WE
GO HOME NOW?

WHY DON'T WE
GO ON THE CYCLONE?

I LIKE THAT RIDE.

COME ON.

[Wilford]
THIS AIN'T GOOD
FOR YOU, MAMA.

[Sarah]
SURE IT IS.
IT KEEPS ME YOUNG.

AAH!

OHH!

AAH!

[Laughs]

.
GEE, MAMA,
YOU SURE
LOOK WEIRD

YOU DON'T LOOK
SO HOT YOURSELF.

HA HA HA!

[Laughing]

OH, NO.

SIMMONS AND KELLY,

WE HEAR YOU'VE

A LOT OF
TALKING

BLACKWELL WANTS YO

FOR A WITNESS,
RIGHT?

SURE.
WHY NOT?

I SAW THOSE COPS
GUN DOWN THAT KID.

YOU SAW IT,
HUH?

THAT'S
STRANGE.

HOW COULD YOU SEE IT,
BEING SO BUSY?

BUSY?

MAN, I

ABOUT
THE SHOOTING?

HEY, MAN,

I THOUGHT--

I JUST THOUGHT
MAYBE YOU GUYS--

NO, IT'S JUST LIKE
HE SAID.

I WAS BACK HERE WORKING.
I WAS BUSY.

I DON'T KNOW
NOTHING.

JUST LIKE I SAID
ALL THE TIME.

I KNEW
ALL THE TIME

THAT KID WAS
A WRONGDOER.

I DON'T KNOW
NOTHING.

HONEST.
I DON'T KNOW
NOTHING.

I'LL JUST KEEP THESE
FOR YOU FOR A WHILE.

WE MIGHT SEE YOU
AGAIN, HUH?

HEY, MAN. HOW YOU
GOING TO SEE ME AGAIN?

YOU AIN'T EVEN SEEN ME
THE FIRST TIME YET.

YOU DIRTY BASTARDS.

SONS-OF-BITCHES.

GODDAMN
DIRTY ROTTEN--

[Sobs]

MR. JOHNSON?

YEAH, SON?

WHY DON'T Y'ALL
WANT ME

TO TEL
L THE TRUTH?

IT'S NOT THAT
WE DON'T WANT YOU

TO TEL
L THE TRUTH.

G
WE JUST DON'T WANT
YOU TO SAY ANYTHIN

RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S NOT TELLING
A LIE, IS IT?

.
YES, IT IS

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

WELL, M-MAMA SAYS

G
THAT IF YOU SE
E SOMETHING WRON

AND YOU DON'T SAY
NOTHING ABOUT IT,

WELL, THAT'S JUST
THE SAME

AS TELLING A LIE.

RIGHT, MAMA?

AND I DON'T TELL
NO LIES,

DO I, MAMA?

ALL RIGHT.

NOW, I'VE BEEN
TRYING TO BE EASY

.
WITH YOU FOLKS

THE WHOLE CITY

SGT. DANAHER
IS WAITING

TO QUESTION
WILFORD,

AND HE'D BETTER GET
THE RIGHT ANSWERS.

YOU HEAR ME?

HE'D BETTER GE

'CAUSE
IF HE DOESN'T,

YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT
YOUR WELFARE CHECK.

YOU WOULDN'T
DO THAT.

H
OH, I'M FINALL

SARAH ROBINSON

OK, KID.

NOW...

WHAT DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT THIS THING?

NATHANIEL HAMILTON.

CORNBREAD.

WHATEVER YOU PEOPLE
CALL HIM.

WHAT DO I KNOW,
SIR?

YEAH, DID YOU SEE HIM
THE DAY HE WAS SHOT?

YES, SIR.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
YOU SAW HIM?

THAT AIN'T
THE RIGHT ANSWER.

WELL,
I SAW HIM.

JESUS,
WHAT'S THE MATTER

WITH YOU PEOPLE?
DIDN'T YOU LISTEN

TO WHAT JOHNSON
SAID?

ALL RIGHT.
WELL, DON'T LET THAT KID

GIVE ME
ANY TROUBLE.

WE DON'T WANT
ANY TROUBLE.

OK, KID.

.
LET'S TAKE IT
FROM THE BEGINNING

,
AS FAR AS I GET IT

YOU DON'T KNOW
NOTHING AT ALL

ABOUT THIS
WHOLE THING.

HE DIDN'T
SAY THAT.

I'M TALKING TO HIM.

YOU DON'T KNOW
NOTHING, RIGHT?

YOU DIDN'T SEE
NOTHING...

DID YOU?

TAKE YOUR HANDS
OFF HIM.

YOU DIDN'T SEE
NOTHING AT ALL,
DID YOU?

TAKE YOUR HANDS
OFF HIM.

SHUT UP.

I WILL NOT SHUT UP.

AAH!

I SAID SHUT UP,
GOD DAMN IT.

ANY MORE
OF THIS CRAP,

I'M GOING TO RUN
BOTH OF YOU IN.

COME BACK HERE!

CHARLIE!

CHARLIE, THERE'S A MAN
BEATING MY MOTHER!

I'M SCARED,
CHARLIE!

ALL RIGHT, YOU.

LISTEN, YOU'RE GOING
TO ANSWER ME, SEE?

HOLD IT.
DAMN IT,
HOLD IT!

WHAT'S WRONG
WITH YOU?

YOU BETTER
PUT THAT AWAY

BEFORE YOU GET
YOURSELF IN TROUBLE.

YOU BETTER
LET THIS KID ALONE,

OR YOU'RE GOING TO BE
IN TROUBLE.

NOW, GET
OVER THERE.
MOVE!

I'M A POLICE
OFFICER.

CHARLIE, THAT MAN
BEAT UP MY MAMA.

SARAH. SARAH.

I'VE GOT HIM, SARAH.
WE'VE GOT HIM.

SARAH!

YOU DIRTY
MOTHER!

CHARLIE.

YOU GOT TO GET
OUT OF HERE.

THEY'LL BE BACK,
CHARLIE.

THEY'RE GOING
TO BEAT YOU BAD.

YEAH, MAN,
SHE'S RIGHT, MAN.

HERE. TAKE THIS.
HIDE IT SOMEWHERE.

ANYWHERE.

LISTEN, BOY,

YOU SEE HOW
YOU'RE MESSING UP

EVERYBODY'S LIFE?

YOU SEE HOW MUCH
TROUBLE YOU'RE CAUSING?

WELL, IF THEY
HURT YOUR MAMA,

I'M GOING TO COME
BACK HERE

AND KICK YOUR
TAIL IN.

I APPRECIATE THAT,
MR. BLACKWELL.

THANK YOU.

HE SAID HE'D DO
WHAT HE CAN.

WELL, DOES HE
UNDERSTAND

ABOUT THAT
POLICEMAN

HITTING SARAH
AND WILFORD?

OF COURSE.

WHERE IS
WILFORD?

OH, HE WAS JUST HERE
A LITTLE WHILE AGO.

HE PROBABLY JUST
WENT OUT TO PLAY.

PLAY?

HE WOULDN'T PLAY
AT A TIME LIKE THIS,
SAM.

LEONA,
HE'S RUN AWAY.

OH, NO.
NO, NO, NO.

WILFORD
IS A SMART CHILD.

HE WOULDN'T DO
A THING LIKE THAT.

NOW, YOU
KNOW THAT.

HE'S RUN AWAY.

.
OH, NO. NO

NO, COME HERE.
NO, COME ON,

COME ON, NOW.
OH, SARAH,
YOU'RE--

.
YOU'RE SAD

I KNEW I WAS
PUTTING TOO MUCH
PRESSURE ON HIM.

HE'S ONLY
12 YEARS OLD.

YOU'RE GETTING
YOURSELF ALL UPSET

OVER NOTHING,
SARAH.

.
HE'S RIGHT

WHAT IF
THAT POLICEMAN
FINDS HIM?

HE'LL BEAT
THAT CHILD.

AIN'T NO POLICEMAN,
NOT EVEN A WHITE ONE,

GOING TO BEAT
A 12-YEAR-OLD BOY.

YEAH, BUT...

HE HEARD
WHAT CHARLIE SAID.

HE THINKS HE'S MAKING
TROUBLE FOR ME.

THAT'S IT.
THAT'S WHY HE'S
RUN AWAY.

I KNOW HIM.
I KNOW HIM.

YOU'RE TAKING IT
TOO HARD.

I'M SORRY.

DON'T WORRY
ABOUT IT.

NOW, EVERYTHING'S
GOING TO BE FINE.

WHAT THE HELL?

AREN'T YOU
THE ROBINSON BOY?

WILFORD?

YES, SIR.

THAT'S THE CARD
I GAVE YOUR MOTHER.

AND I SUPPOSE THE GUYS
IN THE GARAGE

TOLD YOU
WHERE MY CAR WAS.

YOU DON'T
MISS A THING,
DO YOU?

NO, SIR.

MR. HAMILTON
CALLED.

HE TOLD ME
WHAT HAPPENED

TO YOU AND
YOUR MOTHER.

I'M HEADING FO
R THE POLICE STATION

TO TRY AND
STRAIGHTEN IT OUT.

HOLD IT.
HOLD IT, NOW.

NOW, HOLD IT.

.
CLOSE THE DOOR

NOW, JUST RELAX.

COPS AREN'
T GOING TO MAKE

ANY TROUBLE FOR YOU
WHILE I'M AROUND,

HEAR?

YOUR MAMA DIDN'T
SEND YOU TO ME,

SO SHE DOESN'T KNOW
WHERE YOU ARE.

WE BETTER
GO CALL HER.

I WANT TO TALK
TO YOU FIRST.

OK, WE'LL SIT
RIGHT HERE AND TALK.

WELL, YOU SEE,

I'M THE ONE THAT STARTED
THE WHOLE TROUBLE,

'CAUSE IF I HADN'T
TOLD MR. HAMILTON

THAT I SEEN THEM
SHOOT CORNBREAD,

THEN HE WOULDN'T HAVE
GONE TO YOU.

YOU DID
THE RIGHT THING.

YEAH,

BUT NOW THEY'RE GOING
TO TAKE OFF THE WELFARE,

POLICEMAN COMES
AND BEATS UP

ON ME AND MAMA,

AND THEN CHARLIE SAYS
THAT I'M THE ONE

THAT'S CAUSING ALL
THE TROUBLE AND SPLITS.

SO WHAT'S
THE ANSWER,
WILFORD?

I'M GOING TO
RUN AWAY.

THEN I
DON'T HAVE
TO LIE

AND THEY CAN'T
TAKE MAMA OFF
THE WELFARE,

SEE?

YEAH, I SEE,
BUT, UM,

S
YOU RUN AWAY
AND YOUR MAMA'

.
GOING TO B
E PLENTY WORRIED

YEAH. THAT'S WHERE
YOU COME IN.

WHO, ME?

YEAH. YOU FIND ME
A SAFE PLACE TO HIDE.

THEN I'D BE LYING
INSTEAD OF YOU,

AND I KNOW
YOU WOULDN'T WANT

TO MAKE ME
INTO A LIAR.

I STILL CAN'T UNDERSTAND
WHERE YOU FOUND HIM.

OH, HE CAME TO ME.

WILFORD CAME
TO MY OFFICE

TO SEE HOW HE COULD
HELP THE SITUATION.

I REALLY CAN'T
THANK YOU ENOUGH.

OH, IT'S NO TROUBLE.

IT'S ALL
SETTLED NOW.

I COULDN'T TELL YOU
OVER THE PHONE,

BUT, UH, I MADE
A DEAL WITH
THE POLICE.

THEY WON'T
PROSECUTE YOU
AND CHARLIE,

AND WE WON'T
PRESS CHARGES
AGAINST SGT. DANAHER.

YOU'RE
SOMETHING ELSE,
MR. BLACKWELL.

UH, WILFORD GAVE
THE POLICE A STATEMENT
WHILE WE WERE THERE.

I'M SURE THEY WON'T
BOTHER YOU AGAIN.

I'M SO
VERY GRATEFUL.

COME ON,
WILFORD.

MMM.

YOU GOTTA GO GET
YOUR PAJAMAS.

OK, MAMA.

.
PUT YOUR
PAJAMAS ON

THERE'S NO REASON CHARLIE
CAN'T COME HOME NOW.

UH, CHARLI
E DOESN'T LIVE HERE.

HE LIVES UPSTAIRS.

OH.

WOULD YOU LIKE
A CUP OF COFFEE?

AH, NO, THANKS.
IT'S BEEN A HARD DAY.

BUT MAYBE WE CAN
DO IT ANOTHER TIME.

.
UM, I'LL HOLD YOU
TO THAT, MR. BLACKWELL

MRS. ROBINSON--

SARAH.

YOU HAVE
AN EXTRAORDINARY SON.

I HAVE TO THINK
YOU'RE A VERY SPECIAL
KIND OF WOMAN.

SAY GOOD NIGHT
TO WILFORD FOR ME.

YOU LIKE MR. BLACKWELL,
MOM, DON'T YOU?

HMM.

I LIKE HIM, TOO.

YOU WAS READY TO
RUN AWAY, WEREN'T YOU?

YES, MAMA.

YOU THOUGHT
BY DOING THAT

YOU'D MAKE
MY LIFE EASIER?

WILFORD, THERE IS
NOTHING IN MY LIFE

.
MORE IMPORTANT
TO ME THAN YOU

AIN'T NOBODY GONNA
SCARE US AWAY.

WE AIN'T
GOT MUCH,

BUT WE DO HAVE
OUR SELF-RESPECT,

AND NOW THEY'RE TRYING
TO TAKE THAT AWAY.

THEY FIGURE BECAUSE
I'M ON WELFARE,

THEY CAN GET ME
TO KEEP YOU QUIET,

BUT I'M NOT
GONNA DO THAT.

I'M GONNA ASK YOU TO D
O WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT,

WHATEVER THAT IS.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

I THINK SO, MAMA.

[Deputy Coroner]
ALL RIGHT...

[Gavel pounds]

THIS INQUEST WILL
PLEASE COME TO ORDER.

THIS IS A HEARING

CONCERNING THE DEATH OF
ONE NATHANIEL HAMILTON.

UH, LET'S HAVE A MEMBER
OF THE FAMILY STEP FORWARD

AND CHECK OUT
THE FAMILY HISTORY.

THE BOY'S AGE AT
THE TIME OF HIS DEATH?

18.

AND THE BOY'S
MEANS OF LIVELIHOOD?

STUDENT.

OH, YOU MEAN
HE'S UNEMPLOYED.

UH, MR. CORONER,

THE YOUNG MAN
WORKED PART-TIME

AT A RECREATION
CENTER,

BUT HE WAS ENROLLED
IN COLLEGE

AND DUE TO BEGIN
CLASSES WITHIN 2 WEEKS.

UH, THE BOY WAS NOT IN
SCHOOL AT THE TIME, COUNSEL,

THEREFORE,
HE WAS UNEMPLOYED.

WELL, WITH ALL
DUE RESPECT,

THE FACT REMAINS
THAT NATHANIEL HAMILTON

HAD GRADUATED
FROM HIGH SCHOOL

AND WAS ABOUT
TO BEGIN COLLEGE.

ALL RIGHT,
COUNSELOR.

WELL, I DON'T SUPPOSE
THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE

THAT WE NEED
TO KNOW.

THAT'S ALL.
THERE'S A $27
INQUEST FEE,

BUT IF YOU'LL
SIGN THIS, UH,
WAIVER,

YOU WON'T
HAVE TO PAY IT.

DO YOU MEAN
TO TELL ME

THEY'RE GONNA
MAKE HER PAY

FOR THEM
KILLING HER SON?

NEXT, THEY'RE GONNA
ASK HER TO PAY THE COPS
FOR THEIR BULLETS.

YOU REALLY DON'T
HAVE TO PAY IT,
YOU KNOW?

UH, THAT'S RIGHT,
MRS. HAMILTON.

WHY DON'T YOU
SIGN THE WAIVER?

THIS ISN'T MY IDEA,
YOU KNOW.

BUT THE LEGISLATURE
WON'T ABOLISH THE FEE.

THAT'S ALL.
THANK YOU,
MRS. HAMILTON.

YOU CAN GO BACK
TO YOUR SEAT NOW.

I'M SORRY...

VERY SORRY.

THANK YOU.

[Danaher]
OUR PEOPLE

MADE A VERY THOROUGH
INVESTIGATION.

IN THE FIRST PLACE,
OUR INFORMANTS TELL US

NATHANIEL HAMILTON
WAS A MEMBER OF A GANG

THAT ROBBE
D A NUMBER OF PEOPLE

AND WAS GUILTY OF
MANY ACTS OF VIOLENCE.

SGT., JUST DESCRIBE
THE INCIDENT.

AHEM.

YES, SIR.

UH, OFFICERS GOLICH
AND ATKINS

ANSWERED A CALL
AND FOUND THE VICTIM

UNCONSCIOUS FROM
A GUNSHOT WOUND.

OFFICER GOLICH
FOLLOWED THE ASSAILANT

UP ON A ROOF AND
DOWN THE FIRE ESCAPE.

UH, OFFICER GOLICH
CALLED OUT

THAT HE WAS A POLICEMAN,
BUT THE SUSPECT

CONTINUED DOWN
THE FIRE ESCAPE.

THEN ATKINS AND
GOLICH TOGETHER

FOLLOWED HIM
THROUGH A BUILDING

AND OUT
INTO THE AREAWAY.

THEY AGAIN
TOLD HIM TO STOP,

BUT, UH,
HE DID NOT.

THEY DIDN'T SHOOT

BECAUSE THEY COULD
NOT SEE HIM CLEARLY.

THEN HE RAN
INTO, UH,

THE STREET.

GO ON.

THE, UH, OFFICERS
FOLLOWED HIM.

HE HAD A SHINY OBJECT
IN HIS HAND,

WHICH THEY
THOUGHT TO BE
A GUN.

T
THE OFFICERS THEN
RAN OUT INTO THE STREE

D
SO THEY COULD AVOI

SHOOTING
INNOCENT PEOPLE.

[Deputy Coroner]
CONTINUE, CONTINUE.

UH, THE OFFICERS
GAVE A LAST WARNING,

AND WHEN THE SUSPECT
DIDN'T STOP,

THEY SHOT
AND KILLED HIM.

THANK YOU,
OFFICER.

ALL RIGHT, COUNSEL,
YOU GOT ANY QUESTIONS?

WITH YOUR
INDULGENCE.

YOU TOLD US THAT
IN CHASING THE SUSPECT,

THE OFFICERS
LOST SIGHT OF HIM

ON ONE OR MORE
OCCASIONS.

YEAH, BUT
JUST BRIEFLY.

BRIEFLY, BUT THEY
DID LOSE SIGHT OF HIM?

SO THE PERSON
THEY SHOT

MAY NOT HAVE BEEN
THE PERSON THEY
WERE CHASING.

WELL, THIS GUY
WAS RUNNING,

AND THEY TOLD HIM
TO HALT.

WHAT ABOUT
THE GARBAGE TRUCK?

WHAT
GARBAGE TRUCK?

WASN'T THERE A GARBAGE
TRUCK ON THE STREET,

AND WASN'T IT
MAKING SO MUCH NOISE

THAT NO ONE COULD POSSIBLY
HAVE HEARD THE OFFICERS,

EVEN IF THEY DID,
AS YOU SAY,

TELL ANYONE
TO HALT?

I DON'T KNOW NOTHING
ABOUT A GARBAGE TRUCK.

ALL RIGHT,
THE POLICEMEN
ARE IN THE STREET

AND THEY SEE
SOMEONE RUNNING.

IS THAT RIGHT?

YES, SIR.

AND THEY THOUGHT
HE HAD A GUN.

THE, UH,
SHINY OBJECT.

WHAT KIND OF A DAY
WAS IT, SERGEANT?

RAIN.

LIGHT OR HEAVY?

PRETTY
HEAVY.

AND DARK,
IT WAS DARK,
WASN'T IT?

YEAH.

AND ON THIS DARK DAY
WITH HEAVY RAIN,

THE OFFICERS
SAW A SHINY OBJECT

IN THE HANDS
OF SOMEONE

RUNNING IN
THE OPPOSITE
DIRECTION,

IS THAT
YOUR TESTIMONY?

OFFICER,

DID YOU EVER FIND
THE SO-CALLED WEAPON?

NO.

DID ANYONE,

ANYONE TELL YOU THEY
DEFINITELY SAW A WEAPON?

WELL, THE OFFICERS
SAID THEY, UH, AHEM,

THOUGHT
HE HAD A GUN.

DID ANY OTHER
WITNESS TELL YOU

WHAT NATHANIEL HAMILTON
HAD IN HIS HAND

AT THE TIME
OF THE SHOOTING?

YEAH...

LITTLE KID
SAID HE HAD A...

BOTTLE OF POP.

A POP BOTTLE?

IS THAT WHAT
HE SAID?

THAT'S RIGHT.

IT WAS ORANGE POP,
WASN'T IT?

GEE, I DON'T
REMEMBER
THE FLAVOR.

CHECK YOUR BOOK.

IF YOU SAY
IT WAS ORANGE POP,

.
IT WAS
ORANGE POP

NO, IT'S NOT WHAT I SAY,
IT'S WHAT YOU SAY.

YOU'RE UNDER OATH,

YOU HAVE THE STATEMENT
OF THE WITNESS. CHECK IT.

I, UH, DON'T HAVE
THE STATEMENT.

OH, COME NOW,

THIS IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT WITNESS.

SURELY YOU
HAVE HIS STATEMENT!

NO, I, UH,

JUST CAN'T FIND IT
IN THE RECORDS.

MR. CORONER,

THIS IS AN OFFENSE
THAT AMOUNTS TO
CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE!

WHAT ARE THEY
TRYING TO HIDE?

TAKE IT EASY,
COUNSEL.

IF THE STATEMENT'S
BEEN LOST,

IT'S JUST
BEEN LOST.

THE WITNESS
IS HERE,

HE CAN TELL
HIS STORY ANYWAY.

FOR ALL THE GOOD THE
INVESTIGATING OFFICER
HAS DONE,

I'M SURPRISED HE
DIDN'T LOSE HIMSELF.

THAT'S ALL.

I DON'T WANT TO WASTE
THE CORONER'S TIME...

WITH A LIAR.

[Watkins]
YES, SIR,

13 YEARS WITH THE
SANITATION DEPARTMENT.

[Blackwell]
13 YEARS.

MR. WATKINS,

YOU TESTIFIED THAT YOU
WERE DRIVING YOUR TRUCK

ON THE DAY
IN QUESTION,

AND THAT YOU ACTUALLY
WORKED THE STREET

ON WHICH THE INCIDENT
TOOK PLACE.

IS THAT RIGHT?

YES, SIR.

NOW, THEN, DID YOU
SEE THE SHOOTING?

NO, SIR.

WAIT A MINUTE.

WE KNOW THE POLICEMEN
RAN INTO THE STREET

AND FIRED THEIR GUNS
RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.

ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME
YOU DIDN'T SEE THEM?

.
WELL, I--I JUS
T WASN'T LOOKING OUT

WHAT WERE
YOU DOING?

AS A MATTER
OF FACT,

I WAS READING
MY DAILY REPORT.

YOUR
DAILY REPORT?

MY DAILY REPORT.

YOU WERE SO
CONSCIENTIOUS

THAT YOU STUDIED
THIS REPORT AND
KEPT STUDYING IT

WHILE ALL HELL WAS
BREAKING LOOSE
AROUND YOU?

I JUST WASN'T--
YOU KNOW,
I DIDN'T SEE NOTHING.

WHAT DID
YOU HEAR?

E
NOTHING.
THE GARBAGE MACHIN

WAS MAKING
SO MUCH NOISE,

I COULDN'T
HEAR ANYTHING.

WELL,
THAT HELPS.

IT DOES?

OK,
MR. WATKINS,

YOU DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING
AND YOU DIDN'T
HEAR ANYTHING.

AND IF I'M TO JUDGE BY
WHAT'S GONE ON BEFORE,

YOU AREN'T GOING
TO SAY ANYTHING.

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU WATCH
MR. FRED.

YOU JUST
WATCH HIM, HUH?

WATCH HIM
TELL 'EM.

NOW, MR. JENKINS, WILL YOU
TELL US IN YOUR OWN WORDS

WHAT YOU KNOW
OF THIS OCCURRENCE?

I DON'T KNOW
NOTHIN'.

OOH, MR. FRED.

EARL,
YOU HEAR THAT?

THAT'S WRONG,
MR. FRED.

SHH!

SO YOU DIDN'T
SEE THIS?

NO, I--I
DIDN'T SEE IT.

HA. HOW COULD I?

I--I--I WAS BUSY
WORKING IN MY STORE.

WAS THE HAMILTON BOY
IN YOUR STORE BEFORE
THE SHOOTING?

NO, HE WASN'T
IN MY STORE.

WASN'T NOBODY
IN MY STORE.

FRED, HOW CAN YOU
SAY THAT?

[Deputy Coroner]
QUIET OUT THERE!

THAT'S RIGHT,
MR. FRED, YOU LYING!

YOU'RE LYING.

FRED, YOU'RE SITTING UP
THERE AND YOU'RE LYING.

[Deputy Coroner]
NOW, JUST A MINUTE.

WHAT'D THEY
DO TO YOU, FRED?

THEY BEAT YOU UP?

20 YEARS
WE BEEN FRIENDS

AND NOW YOU
DO THIS TO ME!

YOU SIT DOWN,

.
OR I'M GONNA HAVE YOU
REMOVED FROM THIS ROOM

I NEVER HURT YOU,
FRED.

CORNBREAD NEVER
HURT YOU!

HE JUST TRUSTED
AND BELIEVED IN YOU.

[Deputy Coroner]
MARSHAL,
REMOVE THAT MAN.

ME AND LEONA
AND CORNBREAD,

WE'VE ALWAYS
DONE WHAT'S RIGHT.

Y
SO THEN THEY G
O AND KILL MY BO

FOR DRINKING
A BOTTLE OF SODA

AND RUNNIN
G DOWN THE STREET,

THAT'S WHA
T THEY KILLED HIM FOR!

SAM, I KNOW YOU'RE UPSET,
BUT LISTEN--

MOVE ALONG NOW.

HEY, LET'S NOT
GET EXCITED HERE.

YOU TELL ME NOT
TO GET EXCITED?

YOU KILLED MY BOY!

YOU AND HIM!

WHAT'D HE DO THAT YOU UP
AND SHOOT HIM SO FAST?

LOOK,
MR. HAMILTON, I--

WOULD YOU HAVE SHOT HIM
IF HE WAS WHITE?

!
I'M TALKING TO YOU

SAM! SAM!

WOULD YOU HAVE SHOT HIM
IF HE WAS A WHITE BOY!

SAM!

[Sobbing]

[Marshal]
I'LL TAKE HIM
OUT OF HERE.

HOLD IT!

[Blackwell]
IT WAS HIS SON,
MR. CORONER.

I THINK HE OUGHT
TO BE ALLOWED TO STAY.

[Deputy Coroner]
SGT. DANAHER,

WHO'S YOUR
NEXT WITNESS?

UH, WELL, I--I GUESS
THAT WOULD BE THE BOY,

EARL CARTER.

JUDGE, YOUR HONOR,

UH, THIS HERE'S
MY BOY EARL,

AND I BROUGHT HIM
HERE TODAY.

WOULD YOU
SIT DOWN?

-
BUT, MR. JUDGE, UM
, JUDGE, YOUR HONOR-

ONE MORE WORD,

.
AND I'LL HAVE
YOU THROWN OUT

NOW, I DON'T
WANT TO HEAR

ANY MORE OUTBREAKS
FROM ANYBODY.

THAT SHOUL
D BE PRETTY CLEAR.

ALL RIGHT, BOY,
COME ON UP HERE.

NOW, SON, UH...

BEFORE I SWEAR YOU IN,
DO YOU GO TO SCHOOL?

DO YOU KNOW
THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN TELLING
THE TRUTH AND A LIE?

.
I--I..

COME ON,
EARL, MAN.

COME ON,
DON'T BE AFRAID.

CAN'T YOU TALK?

JUST A MINUTE,
MR. CORONER,

YOU'RE FRIGHTENING
THE BOY.

MAYBE IF YOU
DIDN'T SHOUT AT HIM--

NOW, NOW, COUNSEL,

IF HE'S TELLING US
THE TRUTH,

HE HASN'T GOT ANYTHING
TO BE AFRAID OF.

BUT IF HE IS
LYING TO US

THEN HE OUGHT
TO BE FRIGHTENED.

NOW, ARE YOU GOING
TO ANSWER ME OR NOT?

JUST COME ON, EARL,
SAY SOMETHING.

JUDGE, YOUR HONOR, UH,

WHEN HE WAS A REAL LITTLE
BOY AND HE GOT SCARED,

HE USED TO DO
THE SAME THING.

I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU
TO SIT DOWN.

BUT THAT'S MY SON.
HE DON'T KNOW NOTHING.

THERE'S NO NEED
IN ASKING HIM

'CAUSE HE AIN'T
GONNA SAY NOTHIN'.

I TOLD THE POLICE.

HE DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'
ABOUT NOTHIN'.

WELL, WHY DIDN'T
YOU SAY SO?

SERGEANT, DID YOU GET
A STATEMENT FROM THIS BOY?

NO, SIR, HE WOULDN'T
SAY A SINGLE WORD.

I'M NOT SURPRISED.

YOU PROBABLY TRIED TO
SHAKE HIS BRAINS LOOSE.

MR. CORONER,
THE COUNSEL IS
INSULTING ME

AND THE WHOLE
POLICE DEPARTMENT.

[Deputy Coroner]
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT!

I'M SICK OF
THESE ARGUMENTS.

COUNSEL, I DON'T KNOW WHERE
YOU FIND YOUR WITNESSES,

BUT THIS IS THE 3rd ONE
WE'VE HAD UP HERE

WHO DOESN'
T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THIS CASE.

MR. CORONER,
THESE WITNESSES
WERE INTIMIDATED.

IF THEY WERE ALLOWED
TO TESTIFY FREELY,

THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU
THAT NATHANIEL HAMILTON

WAS AT THAT
GROCERY STORE.

IT'S THE SAME
OLD STORY,
MR. CORONER,

THE ADMINISTRATION
COVER-UP.

COUNSEL, DON'T MAK
E CHARGES YOU CAN'T PROVE.

MR. CORONER, WE DON'T
THINK THIS SHOOTING

WAS DONE
MALICIOUSLY.

WE BELIEVE IT
WAS AN ACCIDENT,

A CASE OF
MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

BUT THE POLICE WON'T
HAVE IT THAT WAY.

I DON'T KNOW WHY
THEY'RE AFRAID
OF THE TRUTH.

.
I WISH YOU WOULD
STICK TO THE FACTS

YOU DID SEE THEM
SHOOT CORNBREAD,
DIDN'T YOU?

DIDN'T YOU?

NEVER MIND,
MR. CORONER, I...

I DON'T WANT
TO HURT THIS CHILD

ANY MORE THAN HE'S
BEEN HURT ALREADY.

THEY'VE GOT
NO CASE.

[Deputy Coroner]
WILL, UH, WILFORD ROBINSON

PLEASE COME FORWARD?

[Man]
THEY GOT TO HIM, TOO.

[Deputy Coroner]
WILFORD ROBINSON?

WILFORD.

YES, MAMA?

YOU WANT TO
DO WHAT'S RIGHT,

AND I WANT YOU TO.

NOW, I WANT YOU
TO BE A MAN.

NOW, YOU BE A MAN
RIGHT NOW,

AND FROM NOW ON,
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS,

YOU'LL BE A MAN
FOR THE REST OF
YOUR NATURAL LIFE.

[Deputy Coroner]
ROBINSON?

WELL,
IS HE HERE OR NOT?

NOW, DID YOU
KNOW THIS,

UH, BOY,
NATHANIEL HAMILTON?

YES, SIR, I KNEW
CORNBREAD ALL MY LIFE,

EVER SINCE I WAS
A REAL LITTLE GUY.

AND ON THE DATE
IN QUESTION,

DID YOU SEE
THIS OCCURRENCE?

YES, SIR.

WHERE WERE YOU?

IN FRONT
OF THE STORE.

WHICH STORE?

MR. FRED'S
STORE.

ALL RIGHT,
WILFORD, AHEM,

NOW, YOU GO AHEAD,
IN YOUR OWN WORDS,

AND YOU TELL US
WHAT YOU KNOW.

JUST START AT THE BEGINNING AND
TELL US EVERYTHING YOU KNOW.

WELL, IT ALL STARTED
WHEN ME AND EARL

WAS WATCHING CORNBREAD
AND THE OTHER BIG GUYS

PLAY BASKETBALL.

THEN IT STARTED
TO RAIN.

AND THEN WE ALL RAN DOWN
TO MR. FRED'S STORE.

MR. FRED, HE WAS MAD
AT HAVING ALL THOSE KIDS

IN HIS STORE.

SO HE BEGAN
YELLING.

PRETTY SOON, IT WAS JUST
CORNBREAD, ME AND EARL.

AND THEN CORNBREAD
BOUGHT US EACH A POP.

YOU KNOW, HE WAS
ALWAYS GOOD TO US.

THEN HE BOUGHT ONE
FOR HIMSELF,

AND THEN ONE-EYE
CAME IN.

[Deputy Coroner]
BEG YOUR PARDON,

DID YOU SAY
"ONE-EYE"?

YES, SIR. EVERYBOD
Y OUT THERE KNOWS ONE-EYE.

[Deputy Coroner]
I SEE.

[Sniffles]

GO ON, SON.

WELL, THEN
CORNBREAD SAID

THAT HE HAD
TO GET MOVING.

SO HE BOUGHT
ANOTHER POP
FOR HIMSELF

TO DRINK
AT HOME,

AND THEN, WE SAID
THAT HE OUGHT TO WAIT

UNTIL IT
STOPPED RAINING.

BUT HE SAID NO, THAT
HE HAD TO GET ON HOME.

.
AND THEN..

ME AND EARL,
WE GOT TO ARGUING.

G
WE'S ALWAYS ARGUIN

AS TO HOW FAST
CORNBREAD

.
COULD RUN HOME

AND I SAID
MAYBE 10 SECONDS.

AND CORNBREAD
LAUGHED

AND SAID NO,
ABOUT 25 SECONDS.

AND THEN WE
MADE SORT OF A BET.

THEN ME AND EARL
AND MR. FRED AND ONE-EYE

WENT OUT UNDER THE
AWNING WITH CORNBREAD.

CORNBREAD TOOK OFF

WITH HIS BASKETBALL
UNDER ONE ARM

AND HIS ORANGE POP
IN THE OTHER HAND.

BOY, YOU SHOULD
HAVE SEEN HOW HE RAN.

WHEN CORNBREAD RAN--
[sniffles]

IT DIDN'T EVEN LOOK
LIKE HE WAS MOVING.

HE COULD
SURE RUN.

AND, BOY,
WAS HE MOVING.

AND THEN,
ME AND EARL,

WE GETS
TO COUNTING

WHILE CORNBREAD'S
RUNNING, YOU KNOW?

AND A-1
AND A-2.

AND CORNBREAD'S
PUMPING AWAY,

AND IT'S RAINING,

AND CORNBREAD'S
RACING DOWN THE BLOCK,

AND THEN
THOSE 2 COPS,

THEY RUNS
INTO THE STREET.

AND--AND IT LOOKS LIKE
THEY YELLED SOMETHING,

BUT I--I COULDN'T
TELL WHAT IT WAS

'CAUSE THERE WAS
THAT GARBAGE TRUCK

GRINDING AWAY.

ANYHOW,
THOSE 2 GUYS,

THEY--THEY
HAD OUT THEIR GUNS,

AND THEY SHOOT,

AND THEY
SHOOT CORNBREAD.

AND THEN
HE WAS DEAD.

THEY KILLED CORNBREAD
AND HE WASN'T DOING NOTHIN'.

.
ALL HE WAS DOING,
HE WAS JUST GOING HOME

[Deputy Coroner]
I DON'T KNOW
WHO'S LYING,

BUT SOMEBODY IS.

.
[Golich]
THE KID'S
GOTTA BE LYING

[Deputy Coroner]
COUNSEL, DO YOU
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

[Blackwell]
JUST ONE.

WILFORD.

HMM?

DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT CORNBREAD

BELONGING TO A GANG?

NO, SIR.

HE DIDN'T BELONG
TO NO GANG.

DIDN'T HAVE TO.

BESIDES, HE WAS ALWAYS
PLAYING BASKETBALL.

,
SOMETIMES AT NIGHT

WHEN IT WAS QUIET,

I COULD HEAR THE BAMMIN' AND
BAMMIN' OF THAT BASKETBALL

RIGHT UP AGAINST
THAT BACKBOARD,

AND I KNEW IT
WAS CORNBREAD,

'CAUSE IT COULDN'T
BE NOBODY ELSE.

YEP, AND THAT
BAM-BAM-BAM

WOULD PUT ME
RIGHT TO SLEEP.

,
NO, SIR, HE DIDN'T
BELONG TO NO GANGS

NOT CORNBREAD.

[Blackwell]
IT TOOK A LOT OF COURAGE

FOR YOU TO COME HERE
THIS AFTERNOON.

I'M PROUD OF YOU,
SON.

THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT,
YOU CAN GO.

OFFICERS
GOLICH AND ATKINS.

YES, SIR?

YOU WERE BOTH THERE,

AND YOU BOTH FIRED
AT THE DECEASED.

IS THAT RIGHT?

YES, SIR.

OK, WELL, ONE OF YOU CAN
TESTIFY FOR THE TWO OF YOU.

OFFICER ATKINS,

LET'S HAVE YOU
UP HERE.

IT'S LATE,
AND I DON'T WANT
TO WASTE ANY MORE TIME.

NOW, YOU'VE HEARD
THE TESTIMONY OF THE
INVESTIGATING OFFICER.

YES, SIR,
I DID.

DO YOU CONCUR
WITH HIS TESTIMONY?

WELL, SIR,
I...

[Deputy Coroner]
OFFICER...

I'M WAITING
FOR AN ANSWER.

LARRY!

DON'T.

ROTTEN BASTARDS.
WHY DON'T THEY
GET IT OVER WITH?

,
WELL, YOU SEE, SIR

.
WHAT WE WROTE IN
THAT REPORT IS CORRECT

WE WERE PURSUING
A SUSPECT,

AND WE DID UTILIZE
STANDARD POLICE
PROCEDURES.

OFFICER,
YOU'RE TRYING
MY PATIENCE.

THERE'S NO NEED
TO REPEAT TO ME

WHAT'S ALREADY
IN THE REPORT.

YES, SIR,
I UNDERSTAND THAT.

NOW, I HAVE BEEN
LISTENING TO THE
TESTIMONY HERE TODAY,

ESPECIALLY
THE TESTIMONY
OF THAT LITTLE BOY.

AND I HAVE TO SAY
THAT, UH,

I THINK
HE'S TELLING
THE TRUTH.

JUST A MINUTE,
ATKINS.

OFFICER,

DO YOU REALIZE
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?

YES, SIR, I DO.

I REALIZE THAT WHAT
I'M SAYING IS THAT...

IF THAT KID
IS TELLING THE TRUTH,

AND I THINK
THAT HE IS...

THEN GOD FORGIVE US
BECAUSE...

WE MUST'VE SHOT
THE WRONG MAN.

[Danaher]
THERE MUST BE
SOME MISTAKE, MR. CORONER.

THIS OFFICER
HAS SIGNED A STATEMENT.

WE HAVE IT ON FILE
IN OUR RECORDS.

I'VE HEARD
ENOUGH.

THIS HEARING
IS CLOSED.

THANK YOU.

IT WAS A PRIVILEGE
TO REPRESENT YOU.

YOU AREN'T GONNA
BELIEVE THAT CRAP,

ARE YOU,
MR. CORONER?

YOU'VE HAD IT,
SERGEANT.

THE NEXT PERSON
THEY'RE GONNA BE
INVESTIGATING IS YOU.

HEY, YOU
LOUSY BASTARD!

T
20 YEARS ON THE FORCE!
YOU THINK I'M GONNA LE

CHICKEN-SHIT COPS
SCREW ME UP!

HEY, LOOK OUT,
DANAHER.

LAY OFF!

BASTARD!

LOOK, I DON'T WANNA
HURT YOU, MAN.

WHY DON'T YOU DO
SOMETHING, GOLICH?

AAH!

[Golich]
LET'S GET THE HELL
OUTTA HERE.

HEY, EARL,
COME ON OVER.

COME ON, SHOOT SOME
BASKETS WITH ME.

YOU AIN'T MAD?

HECK, NO,
I AIN'T MAD.

AFTER ALL, WE'RE BLOOD
BROTHERS, AIN'T WE?

YEAH.

HERE,
TAKE A SHOT.

NO, NO, EARL,
THAT'S NOT THE WAY.

LET ME SHOW YOU

SHOWED ME, OK?

OK.

ALL RIGHT,

CORNBREAD SAID

THAT YOU GOTTA
HOLD THE BALL
ON YOUR FINGERTIPS.

YEAH?

NICE AND LIGHT.

YEAH?

WHEN YOU KNOW
