[FOGHORN BLOWING]

[BOTTLE SHATTERS]

[VEHICLE APPROACHING]

Hey.

Hi, there, old fella.

Uh, thirsty?

Be my guest.

Okay, okay, let's not bogart the bottle, huh, champ?

Well, that's good.

Yeah, that's-- Hey, come back here, you--!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[LAUGHS]

Come and get it.

Yeah. Yeah, I will, you old...

[TIRES SCREECHING]

OLD MAN: It's all right,

you can have it back.

Stop that.

Now, you stop that now!

Oh...

[GRUNTS]

Do you want me to get a doctor?

I said, do you want me to get a--?

[ENGINE REVVING]

"1-7-7-O-R-E,

1-7-7-O-R-E."

You sure about the license plate?

Uh-huh, I wrote it down right away.

1-7-7-O-R-E.

Yeah, I'll call it in.

Mm-hm.

About what time was this?

Oh, I don't know. I don't have a watch.

But I was just coming from my doctor's appointment,

so that's 9:30, uh, 10 maybe, maybe 10.

Ten.

And your occupation, Miss Devon?

Oh, don't call me Miss Devon.

Hardly anybody calls me Miss Devon.

Just Marly. Marly's fine.

I'm a teacher.

Okay, Marly.

Teacher.

His name's Charlie.

You know him?

No, but I live around here and, uh,

I've heard the kids yell at him.

You know, like little kids do.

And-- And they always call him "Old Charlie."

That'll do for a start.

He didn't have any ID on him.

What happens to him if he doesn't have anybody?

The city will bury him.

People aren't born alone,

they should not have to die alone.

Well, Miss Devon--

Marly,

if you can stop by the station tomorrow

and fill out a more complete report...

Oh, sure thing.

Uh, just, when my doctor's appointment's over,

about 10, 10:30 maybe.

Okay. That'll do fine.

Do you have a way to get home?

Yeah, I'll shortcut through the park.

I like to look at the trees.

They're gorgeous this time of year, you know that?

Yeah, you're right.

Well, tomorrow.

Um, about 10:30.

Okay.

What happens to Charlie if they don't find a last name for him?

I-I mean what do they put on the stone?

Just Charlie, I guess.

That's not right.

Anything on the license?

Yeah, but not much help.

The owner said the car was stolen about three hours ago.

MAN: Well, it's difficult

to understand, captain.

Why, when my s--?

RYKER: Lieutenant.

Uh, lieutenant.

It's, uh, difficult to understand, lieutenant,

why, when my son's car is stolen,

you start questioning him

as though he had done something wrong.

Well, I don't want to shake you up, Mr. Bennett.

But people have been known to tell untruths

to the police department

where charges of manslaughter are involved.

Are you saying my client is lying?

No, Mr. Bennett wants to know why we're questioning his son.

I just told him why.

From the top, please.

He's already told you.

I got a lousy memory.

From the top.

Okay.

I parked the car out in back of the house last night.

I slept in this morning.

When I got up,

the car was gone.

That simple.

Uh, perhaps, lieutenant,

if you'd locate the car first.

We already have,

down by River Road.

Looks as if it's been hot-wired.

And if I may say so, lieutenant,

this is dangerously close to an illegal interrogation.

There's substantial evidence the car is stolen.

Chad here had no possible motive for hurting that old drunk.

Mr. Cain, when you're right, you're right.

Goodbye.

CHAD: Uh, lieutenant.

If, uh, I can do anything to help out

with the old guy's funeral expenses,

I'd be more than happy to.

You would? Yes, sir.

Well, I'll bear that in mind and let you know.

Thanks for coming down. I'll see you tomorrow.

Uh, see who tomorrow?

All three of you, I expect. We're having a lineup.

There's an eyewitness.

Fine.

Just notify my office

and let us know when you want us here.

I'll do that, counselor.

Well?

What do you think?

I think it stinks, that's what I think.

I think he wants to help out with the old man's funeral

because he's got more guilt than a puppy's got puddles.

But if that girl, uh, Marly--

If she tags him, that's it, isn't it?

Don't make book on it.

We're dealing with relative values here.

A rich,

promising young man with good grades and good connections

versus a dead, nameless old drunk.

And a high-priced attorney versus a junior prosecutor

on the district attorney's staff.

Are you saying that the grand jury

can ignore eyewitness testimony?

Stranger things than that have happened, Gillis.

I know that old man is dead.

Well, he could use a friend right now.

There's no one on his side.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

WOMAN: Marly, are you in there?

Come on in, Mrs. Samuels.

I got your note under my door.

What'd you want to see me about?

About how to send flowers to somebody.

How do I do that?

Is somebody you know sick?

No. I--

I wanted to send some flowers to the funeral for that man.

You know, the one this morning.

Oh, that man, yes.

Well, it's-- It's very simple.

You go down to the flower shop on the corner.

Do you know the one I mean? Uh-huh.

And you tell the man how much you have to spend,

what they're for and where the flowers are to go.

Now, they do all the rest.

Okay, I'll do that.

Thank you.

Would you feel better if I went along with you?

Mrs. Samuels, I love you.

I do.

But sometimes you treat me like I was before,

and I'm not like that anymore.

[♪♪♪]

I'm sorry.

I forget sometimes. That's all.

I'll go by myself and I'll be fine.

I really will.

Okay.

Marly, you just ought to remember that Dr. Castle

has a lot more tests to make on you.

I don't want you to get your hopes up too high.

"The movement of settlers into the western plains

"was one that found the Indian tribes inhabiting the region,

ill-prepared to cope with the modern technology and--"

I know you read better, Marly.

It's just that I don't want you to get your hopes up too high.

That's all.

But I'm getting better, right?

I'm getting lots better every day.

Yes, God love you, Marly.

You are. You're getting lots better.

Lots better, yes, yes.

RYKER: Number two, step forward.

Turn to your left.

Turn to your right.

Thank you, you can step back in line.

Next man.

Number three.

Step forward.

Same thing.

Thank you, you can step back.

Would you ask the fifth man, please?

Fifth man, step forward.

Turn to your left.

Turn to your right.

Keep your head up, please.

Look this way.

That's the man I saw in the car yesterday.

Are you sure?

I'm sure, that's the very same man I saw.

Okay, gentlemen. Thank you very much.

That's it.

Thank you, Miss Devon. Thank you very much.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

If you can wait, I'll have someone give you a lift home.

Oh, no, I, uh-- I always take the shortcut through the park

because the trees are so pretty.

Don't you think they're pretty?

Yes, I suppose they are.

Uh, Gillis, get the Bennett boy.

Take him down to interrogation.

I'll get his father and the lawyer.

Lieutenant Ryker doesn't like trees, does he?

I think maybe he just has a lot of things on his mind.

Come on, I'll walk you out.

Our eyewitness has made a positive ID of your son

as the driver of that car, Mr. Bennett.

We're gonna recommend that the DA's office

seek a manslaughter complaint against him.

Ah, you-- Y-you can't be serious.

I'm serious enough to tell you that we're gonna

start questioning him right away,

and we'd like both of you present.

Down this way, please.

Ah, we'll get him out on bail, Charles.

Don't worry about that.

What about getting him off?

Worry about that.

Aha. DANKO: That looks hot enough.

No, not quite.

Just a little while longer.

[DANKO GROANS]

[CHUCKLES]

Mm, Jill, what's the occasion, anyway?

Well, there's no occasion. That's a wedding gift.

It's been sitting in the closet, gathering dust

ever since we got it, that's all.

Are you sure that it's not because you were so relieved

to have Mike home? Huh?

Well, there was a very good chance he may have been

nailed with a manslaughter charge this afternoon.

That's right. What is that?

Well, they had me in a lineup downtown.

WEBSTER: It was touch-and-go there.

You looked very suspicious. Yeah. Very.

And I was feeling very guilty, you know.

It's a very good thing that Devon girl picked the other guy.

GILLIS: Well, you know, Marly almost,

uh, picked you,

after she saw those crazy eyes of yours.

Mmm.

DANKO: Is this pick-on-Mike day?

WEBSTER: Isn't it always? GILLIS: Mm-hm.

[LAUGHS]

Do--? Do I get any h--?

Hey, what is it?

What did you say the girl's name was who identified the guy?

Marly. Marly Devon.

Twenties? Brown hair? Kind of cute?

Mm-hm. You know her?

I hope not.

Uh...

It couldn't be the same one.

You-- I mean, you-- You couldn't put a person

like Marly on the stand, could ya?

Well, why not?

Well, the Marly Devon that I knew,

I knew from the hospital.

Now, um, I-I haven't seen her in about a year.

Uh, she's retarded.

[♪♪♪]

She was listed as having the mental capacity

of a 7-year-old.

[♪♪♪]

Hey, dad, when the cleaning woman comes in tomorrow,

could you ask her to check out the big closet?

It's pretty damp in there,

and that's where I keep my cashmere stuff.

Oh, all right, Chad.

I don't want anything to happen to your...

cashmere stuff.

Uh, hey, uh, I better take a rain check, okay?

No, not okay.

I want to talk to you.

Sit down.

Chad, when you told me you were innocent in this thing,

I believed you.

But, uh, lately, things have become

a little more complicated.

Because of that girl, you mean?

The one who says she saw me?

Well, now, how did you know the witness was a girl, Chad?

I could see her in the lineup.

The lights aren't all that bright.

Yes.

Well, be that as it may,

charges have been preferred.

So I'll have to ask you straight-out.

Did you do it?

Now, I'll go to the wall for you on this.

I'll spend every penny I've got.

But I'll be working one way if you're innocent

and, uh, another way if you're guilty.

So...

let's level, Chad.

Are you guilty?

Yes, sir.

I guess I am.

In the strictly legal sense of the word.

What does that mean?

Well, I didn't mean to hurt him.

I was just playing around, kind of.

In a strictly legal sense, you're guilty.

Chad, in the strictly medical sense,

that old man is dead.

Well...

Well,

all right.

I'll stick by you.

But first we're gonna get one thing straight.

What's that?

This.

[♪♪♪]

Chad, I know your mother was always faithful to me,

and every time I look at you,

I have reason to wish

that weren't the case.

This market's been held up three times in the past two months.

The businessmen in the--

Oh, go ahead, don't let me stop you.

Thank you.

Uh...

you all have descriptions of these three guys.

Look for them heavy.

That's all, dismissed.

WEBSTER: Hi, Marly. Hi.

DANKO: Hiya. GILLIS: How are ya?

MARLY: Okay.

Um, is there anything that we can do for you?

I brought a card for you to sign.

Oh, for who?

It's for Charlie Duffy.

That's the man's name. I found out when I called them.

And, uh,

I sent some flowers, so I thought

the more names there were on the card,

the more it'd look like he had a lot of friends, see.

Yeah, how nice. I'd-- I'd be honored.

And me.

Can I join in? I'm with them.

Oh, sure. You probably saw Charlie around a lot, right?

I mean, I figure that knowing his name

and knowing everything we can about him

is kind of like he's being reincarnated.

Reincarnated?

Do you-- You believe in that kind of stuff?

Yes, I'm coming back as a tree.

A tree?

Why a tree?

Well, I-- I'd be outside all the time.

And I could watch kids play and...

you know, in case it got hot,

maybe people'd sit around and I could listen to them talk.

And-- And if a kid lost his balloon,

I could, like, try and catch it for him.

Try and get it back for him.

[ALL LAUGH] Yeah.

You got the right idea about it, there's no doubt.

Lieutenant Ryker, you want to sign?

Hm?

Thank you for including me, Miss Devon.

Okay.

I gotta get this to the florist.

So I'll see you, okay?

Okay. Okay.

Bye-bye.

ALL: Bye. Thank you.

Thank you.

[SIGHS]

What do you think?

I don't know.

I guess Marly could be the girl that Jill

was talking about last night.

Your wife knows her?

Oh, I don't know for sure, lieutenant.

The girl Jill knows is a patient at the hospital.

If it is the same one... well, she's retarded.

DR. CASTLE: Oh,

it's the same woman, Mrs. Danko.

Absolutely.

At least, the same woman physically.

Well, come on, doctor. Don't be so mysterious.

Well, I have to be, a little.

Because we don't quite know why Marly's changed, if she has.

All right, if you don't know why she's changed,

can you tell me how?

Oh, yes.

We almost doubled Marly's intellectual capacities,

from a 7-year-old level

to that of a 12 or a 13-year-old.

You mean, you've been treating her

and you don't know why that change happened?

Because we don't know anything about Marly's early background.

She was abandoned when she was, uh, around 3 years old.

Now, if she was abused or neglected in those three years,

that could be the cause of her problem.

Or it could be nutritional.

I'm giving her megavitamins.

Maybe that's what's doing it.

I'm juggling any number of things,

and I'd be hard put to tell you with absolute certainty

what's doing the job and what isn't.

Why the interest?

Well, doctor, Marly is the only witness in a manslaughter case.

So this treatment and her mental state

will be very important to the trial.

Yes, I would say so.

Though it's a little out of my line, I tell you what.

You have your husband talk with his boss.

I have films of every interview I've done with Marly

in the past two years.

Now, if her guardian approves,

I'd be more than willing to show them to the police.

Okay?

Well, I hope so, doctor.

I surely hope so.

[MR. BENNETT SIGHS]

Well, isn't there something called disclosure,

where the prosecution has to tell us everything

they have in the way of evidence?

That doesn't mean they have to tell us anything

about their witnesses.

Witness, witness.

Singular.

Well, ahem, I did find out a few things about her.

Her name is Marly Devon.

She lives at 2873 Commonwealth Avenue.

I took the liberty of hiring a private detective firm

to find out anything that might be useful.

And?

Nothing.

Uh, nothing overt, that is.

Uh, no criminal record or anything like that.

However, she did list her occupation as a teacher.

Now, the state has no record of ever having issued a, uh--

A teacher certificate to anyone by the name of, uh, Marly Devon.

Well, will this help us to discredit her story?

No.

But it might help us discredit her.

What you're going to see is one of the first interviews

I had with Marly going back about, uh, two years.

We hadn't yet started her on the regimen of megavitamins

and the drug she's on now.

Well, has anyone else taken it?

Well, this is an experimental program, Mr. Ryan.

There are a small number of cases, I can tell you that.

Hm, uh, the things this Devon girl is taking,

uh, could they cause her to imagine things?

Hallucinate?

She didn't hallucinate that license number, Mr. Ryan.

Part of the job of an assistant DA

is to ask the questions the defense is going to ask.

If they find out about the state the girl's mind is in.

Was in, Mr. Ryan.

Was in.

Hm.

Lights, please.

Now, this was shot through a two-way mirror.

Hi, Marly.

Hi.

How are you feeling today?

I'm fine.

Marly,

do you remember what I asked you the last time we talked?

MARLY: What my name was.

Well, yes, I asked you that.

But I asked you something else too.

I asked you if you'd think about

what you want to be when you grow up.

Remember that?

Yeah, I remember that.

Do you have gray hair 'cause you're old?

No, I have gray hair because, uh,

I have gray hair, that's all.

Mrs. Samuels says that's, um,

to make you look more like a doctor.

The gray hair?

Uh-huh.

Well, you thank her for me.

Now,

have you decided what you want to be when you grow up?

I want to be...

Maybe I could be a princess.

Or, um, maybe I could be a bus driver.

I-- I don't know which one.

DR. CASTLE: Why would you want to be

a bus driver?

'Cause I don't think that I know enough

how to be a princess.

DR. CASTLE: Why, of course you do.

No, 'cau-- No.

I've got very big ears, you know.

And-- And Snow White had really little ears.

Mirror, mirror--

I've all my teeth.

Want to see?

Hm.

Hm.

[GIGGLES]

Lights, please.

Well, you're the DA's man, Mr. Ryan. What do you think?

[SIGHS]

I think I'm going to have to check, lieutenant.

Uh, this is a unique situation.

Frankly, the office may want to discontinue prosecution

rather than to become...

entangled in something like this.

I mean, the dead man wasn't exactly Howard Hughes,

now, was he?

No, he was just a man.

[SIREN WAILING]

DANKO: Hi, Marly.

Hi, Marly.

How are ya? Uh, did you ever meet my wife?

Jill, Marly, we met a long time ago at the hospital.

Did we?

I'm sorry, I don't remember you.

But, uh, that's-- That's for you, I think.

[CHUCKLING] What is it?

It's brownies. I made 'em myself.

Oh, out of sight.

How come?

Because you signed the card for Charles Duffy.

And because I thought it'd be a thank you.

And because I didn't want to wait

until the, uh,

um, preliminary hearings.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Um, Marly...

Well, there's a chance that there might not be

a preliminary hearing.

There might not even be a trial.

Well, why?

I-- I know that there has to be a reason.

So, what is it?

You know, Marly,

sometimes things like this can get very complicated.

It happens every day.

There's not one of us who hasn't had a case

thrown out of court because of a technicality.

Well, could you tell me what the technicality is, then?

Marly, it's, um, the kind of thing

that's just so hard to understand.

Do you understand it?

Uh, look, we're--

We're talking about a possibility that--

You know, sometimes I think that I don't understand anything.

I mean, um, people are starving

and we're all supposed to be rich,

and people are killing people

and we're all supposed to want peace.

I mean,

we're a really dumb world sometimes.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello?

Yes, lieutenant.

Okay.

Thanks for calling.

Bye-bye.

Sit down, Marly.

Seems that Lieutenant Ryker has talked to a man

in the DA's office, and they're gonna go ahead

with the prosecution.

Sometimes the world ain't so dumb after all, huh?

GILLIS: Yeah.

See? Wow.

Let me show you that poster I was talking about.

Oh, yeah, I want to see that.

It's my favorite one.

See?

Oh, those-- Those trees are beautiful.

That's really nice.

It's cold in here.

Well, it's probably because you left that window open there.

MARLY: Oh, no.

I never leave that window open.

Oh!

[♪♪♪]

Don't do that!

Don't do that!

Willie?

Willie?

Hey-- Hey, Willie?

Willie, don't be dead, okay?

[SOBBING] Willie?

[♪♪♪]

Why do you say he was a pro?

The way he fought, the way he got in.

He knew what he was doing.

Sounds like you and Marly got there

before he could find anything worthwhile.

What'd he take?

Nothing, really.

Just a calendar that Marly had taped to the wall.

CAIN: Tells us a great deal

about the kind of schedule the girl keeps.

MR. BENNETT: Oh, how does that help us?

Well, I'm not sure that it does yet.

Quite possibly...

Possibly what?

She has a doctor's appointment--

This is the only consistent thing I could find.

--with a Dr. Castle

every other day at Memorial Hospital.

Well, if she's in ill health,

let's just say that that's something

that bears looking into.

Mind a question?

Of course not.

How did you get your hands on that calendar?

[♪♪♪]

What calendar you talking about, Chad?

MARLY: Well, um, I don't have a watch,

but it must have been around 10 or so.

And would you tell us exactly what you saw?

Um...

I saw this little red car,

and it was chasing this man around and round a parking lot.

And then--

The man,

his name is Mr. Duffy.

Something must have happened to his heart

because he sort of grabbed at his chest

and then he fell down.

And then he was dead.

RYAN: Did you have a clear view

of the driver of the car?

Yes.

And the top was down?

Yes.

Now, is the driver of that car in this room?

Yes, he's over there.

The record will show that the witness is pointing

at Chad Bennett, the defendant in this case.

So ordered.

No further questions.

Your witness.

Uh, Miss Devon, this is just a preliminary hearing.

I see no point in going over ground

that you've already covered.

But just a question or two and then, uh,

we'll let you relax. Heh.

Thank you.

Miss Devon,

manslaughter is a very serious charge.

I hope you don't find me rude if I ask you to state

whether or not you are positive that it was Chad Bennett

that you saw driving the car that morning.

Oh, I'm positive. I really am.

It was him.

CAIN: You stated you had

perfect eyesight.

Yes, sir.

You also told Officers, uh, Webster

and Gillis that, uh, you're a teacher.

Yes, sir.

Then how on earth do you account for the fact

that the state board of education has no record

whatsoever of having issued you a teacher's certificate.

Objection, Your Honor.

This has nothing to do with the matter before this court.

This has to do with the credibility of this witness

and nothing could be more germane to this court,

counselor.

Objection overruled.

Witness will answer the question.

Witness will answer the question, please.

[♪♪♪]

I forgot it.

Do you have a teacher's certificate?

Uh, no. No, I don't.

Then why did you tell Officers Webster and Gillis

that you're a teacher?

Now, why did you lie?

She didn't lie.

She is a teacher.

She's the best one I have.

MRS. SAMUELS: It's not a school.

It's a daycare center

for the working mothers of the neighborhood.

Now, most of our children are 2 or 3 years old,

and they know all about school and what goes on there.

So naturally, they call us teacher.

Now, technically, we're not.

But that's pretty hard to explain to a 2-year-old.

RYAN: Then Miss Devon's referral

to herself was a mistake,

but not a lie.

Not a lie at all.

Like I said, Marly is...

the best teacher I have.

People like her are very good with little ones.

I'm sorry.

I didn't hear that last part.

I said,

people like Marly are very good with little ones.

Hm.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Mr. Cain?

Oh, no, Your Honor, we're quite satisfied that, uh,

Miss Devon's statement is a question of terminology

and not a willful attempt to mislead.

Very well.

There being no further testimony,

we will set trial date for the 18th of this month

at 10:00 in the morning.

COURT OFFICER: All rise.

Policemen have to do stuff like this all the time, right?

I mean, uh, stuff like testifying and stuff.

Yeah, all the time.

Don't you get scared?

All the time.

[♪♪♪]

Doctor, we have a major emergency at the nurses station.

We're out of powdered cream. Is it okay if I raid you?

Sure, go ahead.

Doctor, is there something wrong?

Take a look.

He's dead.

He's dead, all right.

So is another one besides that one.

Jill, both those animals

were on the same kind of regimen I put Marly on.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

It's a two-way mirror.

We use it a lot in this kind of work.

That's okay.

I guess that's okay.

Marly.

I, uh, told you from the start that, uh,

this is what we call a pilot program.

There are a number of others like it all across the country.

Now, when you're dealing with something like--

Why can't I have my medicine?

I mean, j-just tell me about that.

Because there--

There's a chance that there are some side effects

that we hadn't anticipated.

And those side effects could hurt you.

Well, without my medicine,

does that mean that I go back to the way I was before?

I don't know, Marly.

Doctor, you said the side effects showed up

during stress functions tests.

Yes.

Should Marly testify at the trial?

I don't believe so.

I voted in the last election.

I read all the newspapers

and I listened to all the speeches on TV,

and Mrs. Samuels said that I probably knew more

about the candidates than anybody she ever saw.

And-- And when I pulled that lever,

in that machine,

I thought, this is what it's like to be a real person.

Not somebody that gets led around

or somebody that people smile at and pat on the head.

And, uh...

A real person, you know what I mean?

I want to go on being a real person, Dr. Castle.

I don't want to go back to the way I was before.

The medicine might hurt you, Marly.

And I can't take that chance with your life.

I want to ask you a favor, okay?

I asked you if you'd think about

what you want to be when you grow up.

Remember that?

No.

MARLY: Yeah, I remember that.

No.

Do you have gray hair 'cause you're old?

DR. CASTLE: Well, I have gray hair

because, uh,

I have gray hair, that's all.

MARLY: Mrs. Samuels said

that's, um,

to make you look more like a doctor.

DR. CASTLE: The gray hair?

MARLY: Uh-huh.

Don't say that!

Now, have you decided what you want to be when you grow up?

I want to be...

Maybe I can be a princess.

Don't talk so...

Or maybe I can be a bus driver.

...dumb!

I-- I don't know which one.

DR. CASTLE: Why would you want

to be a bus driver?

MARLY: 'Cause I don't think

that I know enough

how to be a princess.

DR. CASTLE: Why, of course you do.

No, 'cau-- No.

I've got very big ears, you know.

And-- And Snow White has really little ears.

You stop it!

[♪♪♪]

Mirror, mirror--

You stop it! I've all my teeth.

Want to see? I hate you!

[SCREAMING] I hate you!

I hate you!

Hate you!

[SOBBING] I hate you.

[MARLY CRYING]

Marly, you all right?

No. Okay, okay, okay.

You all right?

Mm-hm. Mm-hm.

Do you want me to get Dr. Castle?

No, uh, no.

I want to testify, that's all.

Marly,

now, the doctor said you shouldn't.

I'm 23 years old.

And I can testify because I want to

and because people shouldn't forget about people

like Charlie Duffy

and because a real person would testify

and that's what I'm going to be just as long as I can.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Oh, oh. Okay, okay.

And approximately how far away were you

when Mr. Duffy collapsed?

Um, I always measure things in football fields.

And it was about a quarter of a football field.

Hm, or close enough to get a good look at the driver?

Yes.

Is he in this room?

Yes, he's over at that table in the gray suit.

Indicating the defendant.

[CROWD MURMURING]

Now there's no doubt in your mind that Chad Bennett

is the man you saw driving that car?

No doubt. He's the one.

Thank you.

No further questions.

Your witness.

[WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY]

All right, ahem, Miss Devon.

Now, we've been through all this before, haven't we?

No need to retrace ground we've already covered,

wouldn't you say?

I guess so.

Well, let's not. Let's start fresh.

Do you know a Dr. Leonard Castle?

Uh, did you hear the question, Miss Devon?

Objection, Your Honor.

This is improper cross.

Mr. Cain?

Your Honor, this has a bearing

on the competency of, uh, this witness.

Objection overruled, proceed.

You do know a Dr. Castle?

Yes, I know him.

As a patient?

Yes.

Would you mind telling this court just exactly

what Dr. Castle's specialty is, Miss Devon?

Um...

Um...

Miss Devon, are you all right?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Well, then can you answer the question?

Or did you forget it

the way you did at the, uh, preliminary hearing?

Dr. Castle s--

Dr. Castle specializes in...

helping people like--

In...

helping people who are retarded.

And I'm retarded, and he helped me.

Well, then, heh,

perhaps I'm talking to the wrong person, Miss Devon.

It might be better to get an expert--

Oh, no.

No.

You're talking to the right person

because I'm the person that saw him and he did it,

and the truth doesn't change just because of who said it.

I-- Oh, now,

would you stop it?

Just leave her alone.

She's not doing anything to hurt anybody.

Please, leave her alone. Please.

[ALL CHATTERING] [GAVEL BANGING]

Order, there will be order in this court.

[♪♪♪]

Marly, are you okay? Hm?

I'm tired.

I'm tired.

I'm tired.

WEBSTER: Police, halt!

Bring this thing to a halt!

Hey!

Okay, buddy, move it.

[GRUNTS]

If only that dummy hadn't seen me.

You're lookin' at 10 years, buddy.

You tell me who's the dummy.

Come on, move it.

[♪♪♪]

JILL: Marly, are we supposed

to say anything

or do anything or anything?

I don't know.

Well, it's your idea.

I guess if you don't know, nobody does.

Now is the time, if there's anything to be said.

This is a farewell tree

for a man that we didn't know.

But somebody knew him and somebody loved him,

and so we decided that we plant this tree

because the people that did love him

didn't know to be here to do it.

So this is a tree f--

I forgot his name.

Uh, his name's Duffy.

This is a tree for Mr. Duffy,

who looked like a very nice man.
