1
00:01:08,569 --> 00:01:10,571
<i>Marsh is not swamp.</i>

2
00:01:12,573 --> 00:01:14,658
<i>Marsh is a space of light...</i>

3
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:19,121
<i>where grass grows in water...</i>

4
00:01:20,748 --> 00:01:22,792
<i>and water flows into the sky.</i>

5
00:02:07,044 --> 00:02:09,713
<i>Then within the marsh, here and there...</i>

6
00:02:12,091 --> 00:02:13,300
<i>true swamp.</i>

7
00:02:53,549 --> 00:02:55,467
<i>A swamp knows all about death...</i>

8
00:02:56,844 --> 00:02:59,346
<i>and doesn't necessarily
define it as tragedy.</i>

9
00:03:00,389 --> 00:03:01,807
<i>Certainly not a sin.</i>

10
00:03:04,476 --> 00:03:07,146
I thought Chase Andrews
would have more common sense.

11
00:03:07,980 --> 00:03:10,649
Best quarterback this town ever had.

12
00:03:13,736 --> 00:03:16,488
Boys, are these your footprints here?

13
00:03:16,572 --> 00:03:17,572
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

14
00:03:24,705 --> 00:03:26,123
Where's his footprints?

15
00:03:33,756 --> 00:03:36,967
Yeah, some kids
just get crazy ideas in their heads

16
00:03:37,051 --> 00:03:39,803
and drink and think they're invincible.

17
00:03:40,387 --> 00:03:42,765
That Chase Andrews was no kid.

18
00:03:55,611 --> 00:03:57,863
Hey. Look at this.

19
00:04:07,373 --> 00:04:10,668
- He open the grate himself?
- Could've been an accident, all the same.

20
00:04:11,168 --> 00:04:14,505
Time of death,
between midnight and 2 a.m.

21
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:18,509
Cause of death,
sudden impact from the 63-foot drop.

22
00:04:19,093 --> 00:04:22,680
Since you found that blood
and hair on the support beam,

23
00:04:23,263 --> 00:04:26,600
I would deduce that
was the cause of the primary injury.

24
00:04:27,267 --> 00:04:31,647
Laymen's terms, he banged
the back of his head on the way down.

25
00:04:31,730 --> 00:04:33,524
To hit the back of his head on the beam,

26
00:04:33,607 --> 00:04:35,859
he would've needed
to fall backwards, is that right?

27
00:04:35,943 --> 00:04:39,071
- I'd say yes.
- So he might have been pushed.

28
00:04:39,154 --> 00:04:41,907
There's no fingerprints on the railing,
the grates, nothing.

29
00:04:41,991 --> 00:04:45,035
No fingerprints? Not from Chase either?

30
00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:48,789
No fingerprints, no tracks.

31
00:04:48,872 --> 00:04:53,085
We do have those red fibers
found on the jacket.

32
00:04:53,669 --> 00:04:56,547
I just got the lab report
back from Atlanta.

33
00:04:57,047 --> 00:05:00,384
They did not come
from any of his other clothing.

34
00:05:00,467 --> 00:05:04,930
Wool, it says.
That could be a sweater, scarf.

35
00:05:05,014 --> 00:05:06,640
Hell, it could be anything.

36
00:05:06,724 --> 00:05:08,183
And we gotta find it.

37
00:05:08,267 --> 00:05:12,271
A beautiful wife, good family. Can't think
of anyone who'd want to kill Chase.

38
00:05:12,354 --> 00:05:14,148
Come on. You know how Chase was.

39
00:05:14,231 --> 00:05:16,900
Tomcattin', ruttin' around
like a penned-up bull let out.

40
00:05:16,984 --> 00:05:18,694
Don't speak ill of the dead, Frank.

41
00:05:18,777 --> 00:05:21,947
I'm just saying
I could think of a few guys up to it.

42
00:05:22,031 --> 00:05:23,907
- Mr. Milton.
- Hi, Sandy.

43
00:05:23,991 --> 00:05:26,118
- The usual? Brunswick stew?
- How'd you guess.

44
00:05:27,453 --> 00:05:30,039
What do you make
of the Chase Andrews case, Tom?

45
00:05:30,122 --> 00:05:33,083
Oh, I'm retired.
That's none of my business anymore.

46
00:05:33,167 --> 00:05:35,794
- Fair enough.
- Could've been that woman in the marsh.

47
00:05:35,878 --> 00:05:39,173
She's crazy enough for the loony bin.
I bet she'd be up to something like this.

48
00:05:39,256 --> 00:05:41,842
My brother's told me
that Marsh Girl's the missing link.

49
00:05:41,925 --> 00:05:44,845
You know poor Chase Andrews
had something going on down in that marsh.

50
00:05:44,928 --> 00:05:48,307
Chase Andrews and the Marsh Girl?
Now if that ain't asking for trouble.

51
00:05:51,101 --> 00:05:54,938
What do you think really happened, Frank?
You think that Marsh Girl killed Chase?

52
00:05:55,022 --> 00:05:57,441
Hell, I don't know. Truth will come out.

53
00:06:21,465 --> 00:06:24,843
Look at all these feathers and whatnot.

54
00:06:26,637 --> 00:06:29,807
She a scientist or a witch?

55
00:06:32,893 --> 00:06:34,269
Miss Clark?

56
00:06:38,107 --> 00:06:40,109
- Sheriff's Department.
- Sheriff.

57
00:06:41,985 --> 00:06:42,985
Look.

58
00:06:43,445 --> 00:06:44,947
Could get a warrant.

59
00:06:45,656 --> 00:06:48,117
Plain view. Probable cause, sheriff.

60
00:06:50,661 --> 00:06:52,579
Bet that door isn't even locked.

61
00:07:43,297 --> 00:07:44,381
There she is.

62
00:07:46,049 --> 00:07:49,469
This is the Sheriff's Department.
Shut down your engine.

63
00:07:57,769 --> 00:08:00,606
Go straight, go straight. Follow her in!

64
00:08:39,895 --> 00:08:42,064
- You're guilty!
- You killed Chase Andrews!

65
00:08:42,147 --> 00:08:44,107
- You'll pay for this, Marsh Girl!
- Rot in jail!

66
00:09:02,084 --> 00:09:05,337
Sunday Justice. Where you gone, kitty?

67
00:09:06,463 --> 00:09:08,006
Please stay.

68
00:09:08,090 --> 00:09:09,633
Here, kitty, kitty.

69
00:09:26,608 --> 00:09:27,859
Miss Clark?

70
00:09:29,695 --> 00:09:31,571
I'm Tom Milton.

71
00:09:31,655 --> 00:09:33,991
I'm a lawyer. May I come in?

72
00:09:40,247 --> 00:09:41,748
Thank you, Mr. Frazier.

73
00:09:41,832 --> 00:09:47,045
You probably know that you're being held
for the murder of Chase Andrews.

74
00:09:47,129 --> 00:09:51,508
And I have taken the liberty of putting
myself forward to defend you.

75
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:53,969
I know you've never been
in trouble before,

76
00:09:54,052 --> 00:09:59,391
so I can explain the courtroom
and the trial and who is who and whatnot.

77
00:10:03,145 --> 00:10:06,315
Do you have family that
you might want to come be with you?

78
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:18,577
Miss Clark, I don't quite know
how to put this, but...

79
00:10:20,329 --> 00:10:24,708
Well, I know you
as Catherine Danielle Clark,

80
00:10:24,791 --> 00:10:28,587
but here in Barkley Cove
they don't call you by that name.

81
00:10:28,670 --> 00:10:30,297
They call you Marsh Girl.

82
00:10:31,423 --> 00:10:34,259
And when you stand trial,

83
00:10:34,343 --> 00:10:37,012
you will be judged by a jury of your peers

84
00:10:37,095 --> 00:10:40,182
from Barkley Cove,
who only know you as such.

85
00:10:40,265 --> 00:10:44,394
They are going to judge you
whether they know you or not.

86
00:10:46,229 --> 00:10:51,693
But I can't help you unless I know you.

87
00:10:51,777 --> 00:10:53,987
Even just a little bit.

88
00:10:58,033 --> 00:10:59,368
Well, all right, then.

89
00:11:01,078 --> 00:11:05,082
I'll come back in a while
when you've had time to consider.

90
00:11:07,292 --> 00:11:11,588
Oh, and I brought you this
just in the meantime.

91
00:11:19,012 --> 00:11:20,347
Mr. Frazier.

92
00:11:24,684 --> 00:11:28,188
People forget about the creatures
who live in shells.

93
00:11:31,566 --> 00:11:33,026
I had a family once.

94
00:11:35,487 --> 00:11:37,030
They called me Kya.

95
00:11:43,787 --> 00:11:44,830
Kya!

96
00:11:44,913 --> 00:11:47,874
Kya! You'd better not get too far out.

97
00:11:49,668 --> 00:11:50,668
Get it, get it!

98
00:12:07,686 --> 00:12:09,729
Now this little piggy went to market.

99
00:12:09,813 --> 00:12:11,231
Now you hold still.

100
00:12:13,024 --> 00:12:14,860
This little piggy stayed home.

101
00:12:15,652 --> 00:12:17,988
This little piggy ate roast beef.

102
00:12:18,655 --> 00:12:21,032
This little piggy had none.

103
00:12:21,116 --> 00:12:27,164
And this little piggy went
wee-wee-wee-wee all the way home.

104
00:12:31,084 --> 00:12:33,003
That's my special girl.

105
00:12:37,424 --> 00:12:38,633
Hey, Jodie!

106
00:12:40,552 --> 00:12:41,970
Hey, Tate!

107
00:12:42,053 --> 00:12:44,097
Wanna come fishing?

108
00:12:45,515 --> 00:12:48,768
- I ain't got too much time.
- "Ain't" isn't a real word.

109
00:12:50,812 --> 00:12:54,691
Hey, how many times I told you
not to mess in my goddamn boat?!

110
00:12:56,651 --> 00:12:58,820
Get in the house! Are you stupid?!

111
00:13:01,573 --> 00:13:04,326
Come here! Now you've done it.

112
00:13:05,494 --> 00:13:07,704
You gotta learn respect. You hear me?

113
00:13:09,247 --> 00:13:12,000
- Stop it! You're hurting her!
- Hey, you leave my pa alone!

114
00:13:12,083 --> 00:13:14,336
Come back on my land, I'll shoot you!
You hear me?!

115
00:13:14,419 --> 00:13:16,546
- Calm down now.
- Shut up!

116
00:13:18,215 --> 00:13:19,215
Shut up!

117
00:13:23,220 --> 00:13:24,679
- Leave me alone!
- I'll show you!

118
00:13:24,763 --> 00:13:26,139
Please just stop!

119
00:14:05,095 --> 00:14:06,596
Ma!

120
00:14:08,848 --> 00:14:09,848
Ma?

121
00:14:19,943 --> 00:14:21,111
<i>Ma never came back.</i>

122
00:14:23,363 --> 00:14:25,907
<i>And everybody else
was quick to get out the same way.</i>

123
00:14:26,908 --> 00:14:28,743
<i>Murph was the first to leave.</i>

124
00:14:30,537 --> 00:14:33,498
<i>A few months later, Mandy and Missy.</i>

125
00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:39,504
<i>Then, finally, Jodie.</i>

126
00:14:40,255 --> 00:14:41,255
Kya.

127
00:14:42,882 --> 00:14:43,883
Kya, listen.

128
00:14:44,926 --> 00:14:48,263
I have to go, Kya.
I can't live here no longer.

129
00:14:51,099 --> 00:14:52,726
Kya, you be careful, hear?

130
00:14:53,643 --> 00:14:54,853
If you're in trouble,

131
00:14:54,936 --> 00:14:58,356
run and hide deep in the marsh
way out where the crawdads sing.

132
00:15:00,150 --> 00:15:01,568
Like Ma always says.

133
00:15:20,587 --> 00:15:21,713
Run!

134
00:15:23,340 --> 00:15:24,341
Jodie!

135
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,803
<i>I learned from the mistakes
of the others how to live with him.</i>

136
00:15:32,015 --> 00:15:33,558
<i>Just keep out of the way.</i>

137
00:15:34,309 --> 00:15:35,685
<i>Don't let him see you.</i>

138
00:15:36,645 --> 00:15:37,937
<i>Fend for yourself.</i>

139
00:16:30,365 --> 00:16:34,619
<i>I had been out in the marsh plenty
of times with Jodie, but never alone.</i>

140
00:16:36,246 --> 00:16:37,789
<i>I didn't know which way was home.</i>

141
00:16:38,498 --> 00:16:41,126
Damn you for leaving me here, Jodie!

142
00:16:43,545 --> 00:16:44,545
Damn you.

143
00:16:54,889 --> 00:16:56,349
You okay?

144
00:16:59,102 --> 00:17:00,729
You're Jodie Clark's sister.

145
00:17:01,438 --> 00:17:03,523
Used to be. He's gone.

146
00:17:06,776 --> 00:17:08,945
- You know your way home?
- Yeah.

147
00:17:16,369 --> 00:17:19,038
It's okay. I get lost all the time.

148
00:17:28,798 --> 00:17:31,134
My name's Tate, in case you see me again.

149
00:17:31,634 --> 00:17:32,677
<i>Tate.</i>

150
00:17:34,012 --> 00:17:37,932
<i>There was something about that boy
that eased the tightness in my chest.</i>

151
00:17:39,184 --> 00:17:43,605
<i>For the first time since Ma and Jodie
left, I felt something other than hurt.</i>

152
00:17:46,191 --> 00:17:47,692
<i>I felt brave.</i>

153
00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:51,070
I'm hungry.

154
00:18:04,876 --> 00:18:07,921
Morning, Mr. Clark. How you doing?

155
00:18:08,004 --> 00:18:12,050
Well, Jumpin',
I woke up on the right side of dirt.

156
00:18:13,718 --> 00:18:17,388
Oh, this is my daughter, Miss Kya Clark.

157
00:18:17,472 --> 00:18:19,808
Well, I'm mighty proud
to know you, Miss Kya.

158
00:18:20,725 --> 00:18:24,020
Oh, don't mind her.
I tell her stay away from everybody.

159
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:27,690
- It's a dangerous world, isn't it?
- It is. But the fishing's good.

160
00:18:27,774 --> 00:18:29,859
Could I get a bag of grits?

161
00:18:29,943 --> 00:18:32,403
And some of that Jim Beam?

162
00:18:33,029 --> 00:18:35,448
- And maybe you fill her up for me?
- It's okay.

163
00:18:36,574 --> 00:18:37,574
Mabel.

164
00:18:42,038 --> 00:18:43,540
You wait for our change, you hear?

165
00:18:46,793 --> 00:18:49,128
Helping out your pa
while your ma's gone, huh?

166
00:18:49,879 --> 00:18:51,965
I ain't seen her in a while.

167
00:18:53,091 --> 00:18:54,843
She's doing chores at home.

168
00:18:59,973 --> 00:19:01,558
Grits ain't much to go on.

169
00:19:04,519 --> 00:19:06,145
All right. Let's see here.

170
00:19:06,229 --> 00:19:08,731
Your pa left $2 here.

171
00:19:08,815 --> 00:19:14,028
And the bill is $1.50.

172
00:19:14,737 --> 00:19:16,281
How much does that leave for gas?

173
00:19:22,871 --> 00:19:24,080
Don't worry about that.

174
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:26,040
I got another question for you.

175
00:19:26,749 --> 00:19:27,917
You go to school, honey?

176
00:19:30,795 --> 00:19:33,590
Do you know that they publish
the school lunch menu in the paper?

177
00:19:34,340 --> 00:19:35,842
Today's is...

178
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:38,887
Salisbury steak.

179
00:19:38,970 --> 00:19:42,640
You could get a nice, hot meal,
make some friends.

180
00:19:43,349 --> 00:19:45,602
Plenty of kids go to school without shoes.

181
00:19:46,227 --> 00:19:49,105
But you will need a skirt.

182
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:50,273
Ask your mama for one.

183
00:19:51,608 --> 00:19:52,608
There you go.

184
00:19:53,276 --> 00:19:56,571
And the change is 50 cents.

185
00:20:41,824 --> 00:20:42,825
Boys!

186
00:20:42,909 --> 00:20:45,078
Chase Andrews, what you got to say
for yourself?

187
00:20:45,161 --> 00:20:46,704
Sorry, Miss Pansy.

188
00:20:46,788 --> 00:20:48,957
We didn't see you
'cause that girl got in the way.

189
00:20:51,542 --> 00:20:52,542
Hello there.

190
00:20:53,795 --> 00:20:57,215
I think you've got yourself
turned around the wrong way, little lady.

191
00:20:57,298 --> 00:20:58,967
Isn't school that way?

192
00:20:59,050 --> 00:21:00,218
- So dirty.
- Gross.

193
00:21:01,970 --> 00:21:04,305
You have just as much
of a right to be there.

194
00:21:04,389 --> 00:21:06,808
Go along now. It's all right.

195
00:21:12,105 --> 00:21:17,235
Miss Catherine Danielle Clark,
are you reading and writing already?

196
00:21:19,654 --> 00:21:21,322
Can you spell "dog," honey?

197
00:21:25,785 --> 00:21:27,078
Who is that?

198
00:21:27,578 --> 00:21:30,206
G-O-D.

199
00:21:33,501 --> 00:21:36,379
Well, we can all use practice, can't we?

200
00:21:36,462 --> 00:21:40,258
You can go ahead and sit down,
Miss Catherine Danielle Clark.

201
00:21:42,844 --> 00:21:44,387
Where you been, marsh hen?

202
00:21:44,470 --> 00:21:46,514
Where's your hat, swamp rat?

203
00:21:46,597 --> 00:21:50,935
Now, boys and girls, settle down.
Just an hour until lunch.

204
00:21:51,019 --> 00:21:53,438
Please, try to pay attention
to our lesson.

205
00:21:53,521 --> 00:21:56,649
Who can tell me a word that
has a long vowel sound?

206
00:21:56,733 --> 00:21:59,944
- She probably lives in the mud.
- Someone's got cooties.

207
00:22:01,070 --> 00:22:02,739
That stink in the room.

208
00:22:03,740 --> 00:22:04,741
Excuse me.

209
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,287
<i>That was the only day
I ever spent in school.</i>

210
00:22:10,538 --> 00:22:12,874
<i>Reckoned I was better off learning
from the wild.</i>

211
00:22:15,543 --> 00:22:16,627
Hi, Tate!

212
00:22:33,686 --> 00:22:36,064
Need you to be careful out here.
You hear me?

213
00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:38,608
You can't trust nobody.

214
00:22:39,442 --> 00:22:40,777
You protect yourself.

215
00:22:57,085 --> 00:22:58,753
Great horned owl, probably.

216
00:23:00,922 --> 00:23:03,674
<i>For a while, Pa was good to me.</i>

217
00:23:12,391 --> 00:23:16,979
I thought you could use this
for your feathers, bird nests.

218
00:23:17,063 --> 00:23:18,564
Other stuff you collect.

219
00:23:21,651 --> 00:23:23,402
- Oh, thank you.
- Yeah.

220
00:23:30,660 --> 00:23:32,870
- It was my old Army...
- Mail!

221
00:23:34,288 --> 00:23:35,873
It's my old Army knapsack.

222
00:23:44,090 --> 00:23:46,425
It's from Ma! It's from Ma!

223
00:23:47,135 --> 00:23:49,137
It's Ma's handwriting!

224
00:23:49,220 --> 00:23:51,472
- Ma's alive!
- Give it to me.

225
00:23:52,223 --> 00:23:53,307
Give it to me.

226
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,440
- When's she coming home?
- Wait.

227
00:24:02,150 --> 00:24:03,234
What does she say?

228
00:24:07,572 --> 00:24:09,240
- No!
- Quiet.

229
00:24:09,824 --> 00:24:12,243
Pa! Pa, stop!

230
00:24:12,326 --> 00:24:14,996
Stop it! Stop that!

231
00:24:15,079 --> 00:24:16,747
- Stop!
- Quiet. Quiet!

232
00:24:18,291 --> 00:24:19,291
Ma.

233
00:24:20,543 --> 00:24:21,544
Now you listen to me.

234
00:24:22,461 --> 00:24:23,963
She ain't never coming back.

235
00:24:25,089 --> 00:24:26,089
You hear me?

236
00:24:33,598 --> 00:24:34,891
That isn't true.

237
00:24:38,394 --> 00:24:40,479
"Ain't" isn't even a real word!

238
00:24:51,365 --> 00:24:53,034
Goddamn bitch!

239
00:24:56,829 --> 00:24:57,829
Useless.

240
00:24:58,581 --> 00:25:01,042
<i>Pa took to burning any trace of Ma.</i>

241
00:25:02,210 --> 00:25:04,045
Get your shit out of my house.

242
00:25:08,966 --> 00:25:10,134
<i>And then one day...</i>

243
00:25:11,469 --> 00:25:12,553
<i>he was gone.</i>

244
00:25:15,181 --> 00:25:17,058
<i>Wasn't like the pain when Ma left.</i>

245
00:25:17,141 --> 00:25:21,854
<i>But being completely alone
was a feeling so vast, it echoed.</i>

246
00:25:42,625 --> 00:25:45,503
<i>And there was the small matter
of surviving.</i>

247
00:25:49,090 --> 00:25:51,717
<i>I didn't know
how to do life without grits.</i>

248
00:26:20,246 --> 00:26:21,872
Well, hello, Miss Kya.

249
00:26:26,127 --> 00:26:28,045
You want something?

250
00:26:28,129 --> 00:26:29,463
Mr. Jumpin'...

251
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:32,967
I hear tell y'all buy mussels.

252
00:26:33,843 --> 00:26:35,303
I got some here.

253
00:26:37,430 --> 00:26:40,057
- They fresh?
- Dug them before dawn.

254
00:26:40,141 --> 00:26:41,141
Just now.

255
00:26:41,726 --> 00:26:43,811
Your pa sent you out with these?

256
00:26:49,483 --> 00:26:52,903
Look, I tell you what,
I'll give you 50 cent for the one bag

257
00:26:52,987 --> 00:26:54,905
and a full tank of gas for the other.

258
00:26:54,989 --> 00:26:56,615
How many bags y'all need a week?

259
00:26:57,158 --> 00:26:58,701
Are we striking up a business deal?

260
00:27:01,412 --> 00:27:04,999
I buy about 40 pound
every two, three days.

261
00:27:05,583 --> 00:27:07,126
Mind you, others bring them too.

262
00:27:07,209 --> 00:27:12,089
So if you bring them, and I already
got some, why, you'd just be out.

263
00:27:12,173 --> 00:27:15,593
It's first come, first served.
Ain't no other way of doing it.

264
00:27:15,676 --> 00:27:18,095
That's fine. Thank you.

265
00:27:20,514 --> 00:27:21,557
Can I...?

266
00:27:22,808 --> 00:27:23,976
Oh, yeah.

267
00:27:36,238 --> 00:27:38,449
You sure are growing up fast, huh?

268
00:27:39,658 --> 00:27:42,119
Why don't you come by next week,
I'll measure your feet.

269
00:27:42,203 --> 00:27:45,748
I got some shoes in the church
donation bin just collecting dust.

270
00:27:46,499 --> 00:27:48,292
- Thank you, Ma'am.
- Sure.

271
00:28:00,096 --> 00:28:01,180
Poor child.

272
00:28:02,515 --> 00:28:06,352
Her ma's gone,
and now her pa's gone too, I bet.

273
00:28:07,353 --> 00:28:08,437
What?

274
00:28:08,521 --> 00:28:11,857
We ought to be careful,
messing in folk business.

275
00:28:11,941 --> 00:28:13,776
It don't say that in the Bible.

276
00:28:13,859 --> 00:28:15,069
"Be careful."

277
00:28:16,070 --> 00:28:19,281
"And the King shall answer
and say unto them,

278
00:28:19,365 --> 00:28:23,536
verily I say unto thee,
inasmuch as ye hath done it

279
00:28:23,619 --> 00:28:27,581
unto the least of these,
my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

280
00:28:27,665 --> 00:28:28,791
All right, Mabel.

281
00:28:29,875 --> 00:28:31,293
Don't say about "be careful."

282
00:28:44,390 --> 00:28:45,891
Let's see.

283
00:28:50,312 --> 00:28:52,064
One, two, three. That's all.

284
00:29:07,580 --> 00:29:09,081
<i>They're from Miss Mabel.</i>

285
00:29:23,012 --> 00:29:27,141
Catherine Danielle Clark,
of Barkley County, North Carolina,

286
00:29:27,224 --> 00:29:32,396
is charged with the murder in the
first degree of Chase Lawrence Andrews,

287
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,857
formerly of Barkley Cove.

288
00:29:34,940 --> 00:29:38,611
In such cases, the State
is allowed to seek the death penalty.

289
00:29:38,694 --> 00:29:43,449
The prosecution has announced it will
do so if the defendant is found guilty.

290
00:29:44,241 --> 00:29:46,035
Guilty! We all know she's guilty.

291
00:29:46,118 --> 00:29:47,661
She's guilty.

292
00:29:49,288 --> 00:29:51,332
We will now begin jury selection.

293
00:29:51,415 --> 00:29:53,584
Will our prospective jurors
in the first two rows...

294
00:29:53,667 --> 00:29:58,130
There is an option.
It's what's called a plea bargain.

295
00:29:59,048 --> 00:30:02,551
And it means that
if you are willing to say

296
00:30:02,635 --> 00:30:07,598
that you did go to the tower that night
and met Chase Andrews there

297
00:30:08,307 --> 00:30:12,978
and you had a disagreement,
and in a horrible accident

298
00:30:13,062 --> 00:30:15,147
he stepped backwards through the grate.

299
00:30:15,231 --> 00:30:19,109
You'd get 10 years,
but you'd be out in six.

300
00:30:19,193 --> 00:30:20,236
No.

301
00:30:21,028 --> 00:30:23,113
If we lose, we lose big.

302
00:30:23,197 --> 00:30:26,033
It's life in prison, or the other.

303
00:30:26,116 --> 00:30:29,662
Mr. Milton, I won't say anything
that implies guilt.

304
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,873
I will not go to prison.

305
00:30:32,957 --> 00:30:34,208
Please call me Tom.

306
00:30:34,291 --> 00:30:36,585
And promise me
that you will think about this.

307
00:30:36,669 --> 00:30:37,795
I have to get out of here.

308
00:30:39,463 --> 00:30:40,463
One way...

309
00:30:41,590 --> 00:30:42,424
or the other.

310
00:30:42,508 --> 00:30:45,970
Between midnight and 2 a.m.
on October 30th...

311
00:30:47,388 --> 00:30:53,185
the defendant lured Chase Andrews
to the tower and pushed him to his death.

312
00:30:53,269 --> 00:30:55,563
She then covered up her tracks
and fingerprints.

313
00:30:55,646 --> 00:30:58,899
Now, you're gonna hear she had the time,
she had the motivation,

314
00:30:58,983 --> 00:31:00,651
but most importantly...

315
00:31:03,070 --> 00:31:07,241
she has the weakness of character
to murder Chase Andrews.

316
00:31:12,913 --> 00:31:18,252
Ladies and gentlemen, the State
is going to throw a lot of words at you

317
00:31:18,335 --> 00:31:21,380
about Miss Catherine Danielle Clark.

318
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:27,511
But I am asking you to look at the
evidence that the State will be offering

319
00:31:27,595 --> 00:31:29,555
to back up those words.

320
00:31:30,306 --> 00:31:32,766
You'll find that there is none.

321
00:31:32,850 --> 00:31:35,936
Furthermore, you are going to hear
that there's a good chance

322
00:31:36,020 --> 00:31:41,567
no one murdered Chase Andrews
and that the defendant, Miss Clark,

323
00:31:41,650 --> 00:31:46,905
finds herself here because it is easier
to lay blame on an outsider

324
00:31:46,989 --> 00:31:50,284
than it is to rely on facts.

325
00:31:50,367 --> 00:31:56,373
And although she was born and grew up
not five miles from this courtroom,

326
00:31:57,333 --> 00:31:59,209
Miss Clark is an outsider.

327
00:33:59,371 --> 00:34:00,371
Hi.

328
00:34:00,748 --> 00:34:02,958
It's me. Tate.

329
00:34:25,647 --> 00:34:26,815
Tundra swan.

330
00:34:28,317 --> 00:34:31,737
- How do you know birds?
- My ma liked birds.

331
00:34:35,741 --> 00:34:36,950
I can't read your note.

332
00:34:41,872 --> 00:34:46,084
Oh, all I said was I'd seen you
a couple times when I was out fishing,

333
00:34:46,168 --> 00:34:50,088
and it got me thinking that maybe
you could use some seeds and a spark plug.

334
00:34:50,172 --> 00:34:53,717
I had extra.
Thought it might save you a trip to town.

335
00:34:54,635 --> 00:34:58,138
And I don't know,
I figured you'd like the feathers.

336
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:03,352
All right, then.

337
00:35:08,065 --> 00:35:09,233
All right, then.

338
00:35:14,112 --> 00:35:16,198
Well, I better be going, so...

339
00:35:23,914 --> 00:35:25,999
I could teach you to read.

340
00:35:29,795 --> 00:35:32,214
I thought you may as well
learn to write at the same time.

341
00:35:32,297 --> 00:35:33,924
Oh, yeah.

342
00:35:34,007 --> 00:35:36,677
Good. Okay, so we start with A.

343
00:35:37,886 --> 00:35:39,847
Just go ahead
and draw that shape right there.

344
00:35:51,316 --> 00:35:52,316
Don't tell me.

345
00:35:53,151 --> 00:35:54,319
You're getting there.

346
00:35:54,403 --> 00:35:57,406
- Don't help me.
- Sure. I got all day.

347
00:35:57,489 --> 00:36:01,660
"There are some who can live

348
00:36:02,452 --> 00:36:06,582
without wild things, comma,

349
00:36:07,207 --> 00:36:09,960
and some who cannot."

350
00:36:12,796 --> 00:36:15,173
That's what I'm talking about, Kya.

351
00:36:16,133 --> 00:36:18,969
And there will never be a time again
when you can't read, ever.

352
00:36:19,052 --> 00:36:21,722
I didn't know words could hold so much.

353
00:36:21,805 --> 00:36:23,557
Not all words hold that much.

354
00:36:28,437 --> 00:36:30,230
We could read at my house sometime.

355
00:37:01,386 --> 00:37:03,263
<i>We went through the whole library.</i>

356
00:37:03,764 --> 00:37:06,600
<i>Three times a week, summer into fall.</i>

357
00:37:09,686 --> 00:37:12,064
<i>Read how plants and animals
change over time</i>

358
00:37:12,147 --> 00:37:14,066
<i>to adjust to the ever-shifting earth.</i>

359
00:37:17,110 --> 00:37:21,114
<i>How birds sing mostly at dawn
because the cool, moist air of morning</i>

360
00:37:21,198 --> 00:37:23,784
<i>carries their songs
and their meanings much farther.</i>

361
00:37:27,079 --> 00:37:31,625
<i>How some cells divide
and specialize into lungs or hearts</i>

362
00:37:32,501 --> 00:37:35,212
<i>while others remain uncommitted
as stem cells</i>

363
00:37:35,295 --> 00:37:36,797
<i>in case they're needed later.</i>

364
00:37:38,674 --> 00:37:40,801
<i>Within all the worlds of biology...</i>

365
00:37:42,177 --> 00:37:46,014
<i>I searched for an explanation of why
a mother would leave her offspring.</i>

366
00:37:50,769 --> 00:37:53,188
"Mr. Jackson Henry Clark

367
00:37:53,271 --> 00:37:58,986
married Miss Julienne
Maria Jacques, June 12, 1933."

368
00:38:00,237 --> 00:38:03,365
That means these are my parents.

369
00:38:04,282 --> 00:38:07,911
"Master Jeremy Andrew Clark, January 2."

370
00:38:07,995 --> 00:38:09,121
That's Jodie.

371
00:38:09,955 --> 00:38:15,460
"Master Napier Murphy Clark,
Miss Mary Helen Clark,

372
00:38:15,544 --> 00:38:17,963
Miss Catherine Danielle Clark."

373
00:38:26,054 --> 00:38:27,139
I miss them.

374
00:38:30,267 --> 00:38:31,267
I had...

375
00:38:33,770 --> 00:38:35,272
I had forgot how much...

376
00:38:36,857 --> 00:38:38,400
I feel them not here.

377
00:38:42,029 --> 00:38:43,029
But...

378
00:38:44,114 --> 00:38:46,366
I feel them not here right now.

379
00:38:46,450 --> 00:38:47,576
I mean...

380
00:38:50,662 --> 00:38:52,748
Sometimes I feel so invisible...

381
00:38:54,458 --> 00:38:56,126
I wonder if I'm here at all.

382
00:38:57,461 --> 00:38:58,461
You are.

383
00:39:10,307 --> 00:39:12,601
- Sorry I'm late.
- Come on. Give me a hand.

384
00:39:14,061 --> 00:39:16,313
Son, you know I don't listen to idle talk.

385
00:39:17,522 --> 00:39:20,233
But there is a regular riptide
of gossip going around

386
00:39:20,317 --> 00:39:22,319
you got something
going on with that Marsh Girl.

387
00:39:24,112 --> 00:39:25,822
Hey, you know you can tell me anything.

388
00:39:26,656 --> 00:39:28,617
- She your girlfriend?
- She's my friend.

389
00:39:28,700 --> 00:39:31,870
I bring her books 'cause people are
so nasty to her, she can't go to school.

390
00:39:33,038 --> 00:39:34,289
She doesn't have any family.

391
00:39:36,083 --> 00:39:40,212
Hey. Come on. There's no need to be huffy.

392
00:39:41,254 --> 00:39:44,174
It's my job to say all the things
that we don't like to talk about,

393
00:39:44,257 --> 00:39:47,761
and I can't give you a lot of things
those other dads can give their sons.

394
00:39:47,844 --> 00:39:49,054
So I'm asking you.

395
00:39:49,971 --> 00:39:51,056
Just be careful.

396
00:39:52,057 --> 00:39:55,435
Everything you've worked so hard for,
your dreams of going to Chapel Hill...

397
00:39:56,311 --> 00:39:57,979
Life can change in a second.

398
00:40:00,524 --> 00:40:01,942
You understand that?

399
00:40:02,025 --> 00:40:03,318
Yeah.

400
00:40:03,401 --> 00:40:06,947
Now turn up my music, would you? Come on.

401
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,285
It's Puccini, in case you're wondering.

402
00:40:32,305 --> 00:40:36,810
A young girl living on her own
like that looks immoral, don't you think?

403
00:40:36,893 --> 00:40:39,813
No, sir. I don't. Think, that is.

404
00:40:39,896 --> 00:40:42,524
At least not enough. Just ask my wife.

405
00:40:44,568 --> 00:40:48,446
There are some fine group homes
that would help keep a young woman

406
00:40:48,530 --> 00:40:49,531
out of trouble.

407
00:40:51,533 --> 00:40:53,785
They say she comes in here
from time to time.

408
00:40:53,869 --> 00:40:56,496
I do see her from time to time.

409
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,499
She's not alone.
She's got her father with her.

410
00:40:59,583 --> 00:41:02,586
Well, I've never seen anybody home
all the times I've been by.

411
00:41:03,503 --> 00:41:05,422
When does she usually come around?

412
00:41:05,505 --> 00:41:08,133
I never know
just when she'll boat in here.

413
00:41:08,758 --> 00:41:11,469
Have her call me next time she comes in.

414
00:41:14,931 --> 00:41:18,018
You don't have any reason
to lie to me, do you, boy?

415
00:41:18,101 --> 00:41:19,978
No reason at all, sir.

416
00:41:36,620 --> 00:41:39,748
- We gotta meet somewhere else.
- Hi, Kya. Good to see you too.

417
00:41:39,831 --> 00:41:41,625
Social Services are looking for me again.

418
00:41:41,708 --> 00:41:43,919
They're gonna pull me in,
put me in some group home.

419
00:41:44,002 --> 00:41:46,004
It's polite to greet people
when you see them.

420
00:41:52,427 --> 00:41:55,764
You know, a group home
might not be the worst thing.

421
00:41:56,556 --> 00:41:59,517
What? No, no. You'd have someone
cooking you warm meals.

422
00:41:59,601 --> 00:42:01,686
- Real bed.
- I got a real bed.

423
00:42:02,562 --> 00:42:05,941
'Sides, I'd never leave the marsh
to go live with a bunch of strangers.

424
00:42:06,066 --> 00:42:08,568
It's "besides," not "'sides."

425
00:42:09,236 --> 00:42:11,196
And you can't live alone
in the marsh forever.

426
00:42:11,279 --> 00:42:12,279
Watch me.

427
00:42:13,657 --> 00:42:14,783
All right.

428
00:42:30,799 --> 00:42:31,925
Tate.

429
00:42:33,176 --> 00:42:34,344
I...

430
00:42:36,805 --> 00:42:39,933
I appreciate you teaching me to read

431
00:42:40,517 --> 00:42:42,769
and all the things you gave me.

432
00:42:43,812 --> 00:42:45,313
But why do you do it?

433
00:42:45,939 --> 00:42:48,441
Don't you have a girlfriend or something?

434
00:42:49,609 --> 00:42:50,777
Sometimes I do.

435
00:42:51,611 --> 00:42:52,611
Sometimes?

436
00:42:53,780 --> 00:42:56,408
I mean, I've had one.

437
00:42:58,410 --> 00:42:59,410
But not now...

438
00:43:00,620 --> 00:43:02,455
I don't, so...

439
00:43:07,794 --> 00:43:08,878
All right.

440
00:43:08,962 --> 00:43:09,962
I...

441
00:43:11,548 --> 00:43:14,134
I saw you on your pa's boat the other day.

442
00:43:16,344 --> 00:43:17,595
He seems real nice, your dad.

443
00:43:17,679 --> 00:43:19,639
Yeah. Yeah, he is.

444
00:43:20,223 --> 00:43:22,600
You never talk about your ma.

445
00:43:24,644 --> 00:43:25,729
What's she like?

446
00:43:32,986 --> 00:43:34,612
You don't have to say nothing.

447
00:43:35,655 --> 00:43:39,701
My mother and little sister died
in a car wreck over in Asheville.

448
00:43:43,204 --> 00:43:45,415
My little sister's name was Carianne.

449
00:43:48,543 --> 00:43:49,794
It was...

450
00:43:55,300 --> 00:43:56,468
What, Tate?

451
00:43:57,969 --> 00:43:59,637
You can say anything to me.

452
00:44:05,602 --> 00:44:08,688
I think they went to Asheville
to buy me my birthday present.

453
00:44:10,482 --> 00:44:13,026
There was this bike I wanted,

454
00:44:13,610 --> 00:44:15,779
and Western Auto didn't carry it...

455
00:44:18,114 --> 00:44:20,867
so I think they went into Asheville
to get that bike for me.

456
00:44:23,745 --> 00:44:26,164
And I don't even remember
what kind of bike it was.

457
00:44:30,502 --> 00:44:31,961
It wasn't your fault.

458
00:44:47,394 --> 00:44:48,895
Oh, my gosh!

459
00:45:12,252 --> 00:45:13,753
Am I your girlfriend now?

460
00:45:13,837 --> 00:45:15,004
Do you wanna be?

461
00:45:16,297 --> 00:45:17,340
I know feathers.

462
00:45:19,175 --> 00:45:21,344
Bet the other girls don't know feathers.

463
00:45:23,388 --> 00:45:24,472
All right, then.

464
00:45:25,765 --> 00:45:26,765
All right, then.

465
00:46:39,506 --> 00:46:42,217
- I've never been out this way.
- It's worth the trip.

466
00:46:42,759 --> 00:46:43,759
You'll see.

467
00:46:45,094 --> 00:46:46,095
Happy birthday, Kya.

468
00:46:49,516 --> 00:46:50,975
How'd you know it was my birthday?

469
00:46:51,059 --> 00:46:52,644
Oh, I read it in your Bible.

470
00:46:55,313 --> 00:46:57,065
Did you know it was your birthday?

471
00:46:58,358 --> 00:46:59,692
Don't have a calendar.

472
00:47:03,446 --> 00:47:05,406
Oh, not my name.

473
00:47:05,490 --> 00:47:06,574
Don't cut my name.

474
00:47:06,658 --> 00:47:07,784
Yes, ma'am.

475
00:47:20,630 --> 00:47:21,631
Pretty good, huh?

476
00:47:24,133 --> 00:47:25,218
What's that?

477
00:47:26,386 --> 00:47:27,679
Here they come.

478
00:47:39,983 --> 00:47:41,317
Snow geese.

479
00:48:13,891 --> 00:48:15,059
Kya.

480
00:48:16,227 --> 00:48:17,227
Kya, look at me.

481
00:49:05,985 --> 00:49:07,070
Kya.

482
00:49:08,196 --> 00:49:10,323
Kya, I'm sorry.

483
00:49:11,032 --> 00:49:12,032
I'm sorry.

484
00:49:13,701 --> 00:49:14,701
Jeez.

485
00:49:17,372 --> 00:49:19,499
No, Tate, I want to.

486
00:49:20,917 --> 00:49:21,917
Why not?

487
00:49:23,294 --> 00:49:24,294
Because I...

488
00:49:26,297 --> 00:49:27,965
I care about you too much.

489
00:49:28,966 --> 00:49:34,764
Look, Kya. I want you more than anything,
but I can't be damaged as easily.

490
00:49:34,847 --> 00:49:37,517
It's more dangerous for you.
You understand?

491
00:49:50,780 --> 00:49:52,782
<i>Fall gave way to winter.</i>

492
00:49:53,908 --> 00:49:55,076
<i>Winter to spring.</i>

493
00:49:56,411 --> 00:49:59,247
<i>The only constant in nature is change.</i>

494
00:49:59,330 --> 00:50:00,498
Dad, I got in!

495
00:50:23,187 --> 00:50:24,355
Why are you quiet?

496
00:50:26,399 --> 00:50:28,109
You know I'm going away soon.

497
00:50:29,026 --> 00:50:30,026
To college.

498
00:50:32,405 --> 00:50:33,740
You talked about it.

499
00:50:35,742 --> 00:50:36,742
When?

500
00:50:37,869 --> 00:50:39,287
Not right away.

501
00:50:42,123 --> 00:50:43,249
Soon.

502
00:50:44,500 --> 00:50:46,252
I got a job at the biology lab.

503
00:50:47,211 --> 00:50:48,838
Starts next week, so...

504
00:51:00,641 --> 00:51:01,641
Stay here.

505
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:03,770
And do what?

506
00:51:07,398 --> 00:51:09,734
No, look. I just mean
there's no work for me here.

507
00:51:09,817 --> 00:51:12,612
What am I gonna do?
I don't want to be a shrimper like my dad.

508
00:51:13,279 --> 00:51:15,281
I'm going to get a degree
and be something, Kya.

509
00:51:15,364 --> 00:51:17,700
- So could you.
- What do you want me to be?

510
00:51:19,202 --> 00:51:21,704
- That's not what I meant.
- You're never gonna come back.

511
00:51:21,788 --> 00:51:24,832
Yes, I will. I won't leave you, Kya.
I promise.

512
00:51:24,916 --> 00:51:26,250
I'm gonna come back to you.

513
00:51:27,293 --> 00:51:29,086
Kya! Kya, stop!

514
00:51:31,130 --> 00:51:33,549
You can't run away from every whipstitch!

515
00:51:54,362 --> 00:51:56,906
- One more night.
- One more night.

516
00:52:22,181 --> 00:52:23,181
What's this?

517
00:52:25,309 --> 00:52:27,603
It's a list of publishers.

518
00:52:28,604 --> 00:52:30,147
For all your drawings and notes.

519
00:52:30,231 --> 00:52:32,441
There's nothing like them out there, Kya.

520
00:52:32,859 --> 00:52:34,652
There's enough for a book.

521
00:52:34,735 --> 00:52:36,112
Lots of books.

522
00:52:37,822 --> 00:52:39,991
And, you know,
you wouldn't have to leave home.

523
00:52:40,741 --> 00:52:43,160
You could just mail your samples
into a publisher.

524
00:52:43,870 --> 00:52:45,329
You know, bring some money in.

525
00:52:46,831 --> 00:52:49,041
You know, probably not a huge amount...

526
00:52:50,251 --> 00:52:53,379
but maybe you wouldn't have to
dig mussels the rest of your life.

527
00:52:55,089 --> 00:52:56,257
Just give it a try, Kya.

528
00:52:58,593 --> 00:52:59,802
Come on. What can it hurt?

529
00:53:03,639 --> 00:53:05,433
You're gonna forget about me.

530
00:53:07,810 --> 00:53:09,937
When you get busy
with all that college stuff,

531
00:53:10,521 --> 00:53:11,814
all those pretty girls.

532
00:53:11,898 --> 00:53:13,691
I could never forget you, Kya.

533
00:53:14,567 --> 00:53:15,610
Ever.

534
00:53:17,987 --> 00:53:21,782
I'll be home in a month. I promise.
For the Fourth of July. Okay?

535
00:53:23,701 --> 00:53:25,119
I'll be back before you know it.

536
00:53:25,703 --> 00:53:28,497
We'll meet on your beach
and watch fireworks together.

537
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,167
Just write those publishers, all right?

538
00:53:52,730 --> 00:53:54,023
Goodbye, Kya.

539
00:53:54,857 --> 00:53:55,942
Goodbye, Tate.

540
00:54:24,303 --> 00:54:26,472
<i>Seabirds of the Eastern Seaboard.</i>

541
00:54:27,765 --> 00:54:29,308
Starring you, Big Red.

542
00:56:30,721 --> 00:56:31,722
No.

543
00:56:36,227 --> 00:56:37,394
No.

544
00:56:39,105 --> 00:56:40,272
No, Tate.

545
00:56:43,984 --> 00:56:45,069
No, no.

546
00:56:45,569 --> 00:56:46,737
No.

547
00:56:48,864 --> 00:56:49,864
No.

548
00:56:52,535 --> 00:56:53,535
No.

549
00:56:54,411 --> 00:56:57,081
No, no, no.

550
00:57:11,595 --> 00:57:14,890
<i>Tate and life and love
had been the same thing.</i>

551
00:57:16,225 --> 00:57:17,518
<i>They were all gone.</i>

552
00:57:21,063 --> 00:57:22,231
<i>And then...</i>

553
00:57:44,712 --> 00:57:48,632
<i>Whenever I stumbled, the marsh caught me.</i>

554
00:57:56,182 --> 00:57:57,850
<i>At some unclaimed moment,</i>

555
00:57:57,933 --> 00:58:00,394
<i>at last, the heart pain seeped away,</i>

556
00:58:00,477 --> 00:58:02,438
<i>like water into sand.</i>

557
00:58:02,521 --> 00:58:04,481
<i>Still there, but deep.</i>

558
00:58:06,609 --> 00:58:10,154
<i>There were no footprints around the body
or on the fire tower.</i>

559
00:58:10,237 --> 00:58:12,031
And no fresh fingerprints either.

560
00:58:12,114 --> 00:58:14,992
Not even on the grate,
which somebody had to open.

561
00:58:15,075 --> 00:58:17,536
All this indicated that someone
had destroyed evidence.

562
00:58:17,620 --> 00:58:18,954
No more questions.

563
00:58:20,289 --> 00:58:21,665
Your witness.

564
00:58:28,422 --> 00:58:32,051
Sheriff, I'm handing you the tide table

565
00:58:32,134 --> 00:58:36,889
for the night of October 29
and the morning of October 30.

566
00:58:36,972 --> 00:58:42,269
Now, this shows here
that low tide was around midnight.

567
00:58:42,770 --> 00:58:46,774
So at the time Chase Andrews
arrived at the tower

568
00:58:46,857 --> 00:58:50,778
and walked to the steps, he would have
made tracks in the wet mud.

569
00:58:50,861 --> 00:58:56,116
And then as the groundwater rose,
those tracks would have been wiped out.

570
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:59,036
- Do you agree that this is possible?
- Well...

571
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:02,665
And then you'd agree
that if he had any friends with him,

572
00:59:02,748 --> 00:59:05,709
their footprints
would be washed away as well.

573
00:59:05,793 --> 00:59:08,087
Under these circumstances,

574
00:59:08,170 --> 00:59:14,176
the absence of footprints in
and of itself does not suggest a crime.

575
00:59:14,843 --> 00:59:16,095
Correct?

576
00:59:18,931 --> 00:59:19,931
Sheriff?

577
00:59:22,476 --> 00:59:27,314
The absence of footprints does not,
by itself, prove there was a crime.

578
00:59:27,398 --> 00:59:30,442
You also testified
that there were no fingerprints

579
00:59:30,526 --> 00:59:34,697
found anywhere in the fire tower,
including on the open grate.

580
00:59:35,447 --> 00:59:40,661
So this led you to conclude
that someone must have opened the grate

581
00:59:40,744 --> 00:59:43,163
and wiped away
their fingerprints afterwards.

582
00:59:43,247 --> 00:59:44,415
Correct.

583
00:59:45,332 --> 00:59:49,962
Now, in fact, isn't it true
that these grates were left open

584
00:59:50,045 --> 00:59:52,756
so often and considered so dangerous

585
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:55,467
that your office submitted
a written request

586
00:59:55,551 --> 00:59:57,177
to the U.S. Forest Service

587
00:59:57,261 --> 01:00:02,641
to remedy the situation
on July 18 of last year?

588
01:00:05,311 --> 01:00:07,938
This is a copy of that request.

589
01:00:08,981 --> 01:00:11,233
Who wrote this, sheriff?

590
01:00:12,818 --> 01:00:13,861
I did it myself.

591
01:00:13,944 --> 01:00:17,656
Would you read to the court
the last sentence of this document

592
01:00:17,740 --> 01:00:19,950
that you sent to the Forest Service?

593
01:00:20,451 --> 01:00:22,077
Just the last sentence.

594
01:00:22,786 --> 01:00:25,581
"I must repeat,
these grates are very dangerous,

595
01:00:25,664 --> 01:00:27,541
and if action is not taken...

596
01:00:30,586 --> 01:00:34,214
if action is not taken,
a serious injury or death will occur."

597
01:00:36,508 --> 01:00:38,052
Thank you, sheriff.

598
01:01:25,182 --> 01:01:27,601
Somebody's been taking pictures
round my house.

599
01:01:27,684 --> 01:01:29,520
What do you think they want?

600
01:01:30,270 --> 01:01:31,271
Developers.

601
01:01:32,481 --> 01:01:35,275
They've been all up and down
the marsh last few weeks,

602
01:01:35,359 --> 01:01:38,195
wanting to drain the "murky swamp."
Build hotels.

603
01:01:38,278 --> 01:01:39,655
Yeah, I saw them last year.

604
01:01:40,364 --> 01:01:43,200
Cutting oak and digging channels
down the way.

605
01:01:44,076 --> 01:01:44,952
They want my house?

606
01:01:45,035 --> 01:01:46,495
Maybe not the house,

607
01:01:46,578 --> 01:01:48,872
but I bet they offer you
a heap of money for that land.

608
01:01:48,956 --> 01:01:49,790
Jumpin'!

609
01:01:49,873 --> 01:01:52,292
There ain't nothing wrong
with some money going to Kya.

610
01:01:55,003 --> 01:01:58,215
You do own that land, don't you?
You own that house?

611
01:02:01,176 --> 01:02:02,469
Pa said so.

612
01:02:02,553 --> 01:02:04,388
Well, you're gonna need some proof.

613
01:02:05,097 --> 01:02:06,932
A deed, title.

614
01:02:11,437 --> 01:02:12,438
Hey.

615
01:02:12,521 --> 01:02:15,190
Sorry to startle you.
Can I carry that for ya?

616
01:02:15,983 --> 01:02:18,944
- I got it.
- Please. Let me get it.

617
01:02:20,404 --> 01:02:22,114
Oh, I'm Chase Andrews.

618
01:02:23,365 --> 01:02:24,825
Your name's Kya, right?

619
01:02:26,493 --> 01:02:30,372
Yeah. Yeah. It's a nice name.
I like it. It's different but nice.

620
01:02:33,250 --> 01:02:34,334
This is yours right here.

621
01:02:36,336 --> 01:02:37,463
There we go.

622
01:02:40,257 --> 01:02:43,093
You wanna go for a picnic
in my boat this Sunday?

623
01:02:49,183 --> 01:02:50,309
Okay.

624
01:02:50,392 --> 01:02:52,978
I'll pick you up at noon
from Point Beach. Does that work?

625
01:02:54,188 --> 01:02:56,273
All right. Well, I'll see ya, Kya.

626
01:03:07,868 --> 01:03:08,994
<i>Well, here we are.</i>

627
01:03:09,077 --> 01:03:13,290
Mr. Napier Clark,
looks like, bought it in 1897.

628
01:03:13,874 --> 01:03:16,168
Yeah, that's my grandpa.

629
01:03:17,002 --> 01:03:18,086
Yes, ma'am.

630
01:03:18,795 --> 01:03:23,800
It's never been sold, so, yes sirree,
I reckon it belongs to you.

631
01:03:24,426 --> 01:03:28,096
Looks like you gotta pay some back taxes
if you wanna keep it, Miss Clark.

632
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:30,641
In fact, ma'am, the way the law reads,

633
01:03:31,099 --> 01:03:34,728
whoever comes along and
pays those back taxes owns the land,

634
01:03:34,811 --> 01:03:36,522
even if they don't got no deed.

635
01:03:37,481 --> 01:03:38,607
Well, how much?

636
01:03:38,690 --> 01:03:40,484
Looks like about...

637
01:03:45,030 --> 01:03:46,907
Eight hundred dollars total.

638
01:04:04,258 --> 01:04:05,759
<i>Five years.</i>

639
01:04:07,052 --> 01:04:10,347
<i>It had been five years
since Tate showed me this path.</i>

640
01:04:11,139 --> 01:04:12,683
<i>Dear Sir or Madam,</i>

641
01:04:13,767 --> 01:04:18,647
<i>I am sending you the following pages
on the shells of the Carolina marsh</i>

642
01:04:19,064 --> 01:04:20,607
<i>for your consideration.</i>

643
01:04:23,485 --> 01:04:26,363
<i>Five years for my heart
to open its shell again.</i>

644
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,335
How's it feel to bask
in the presence of musical genius?

645
01:04:47,509 --> 01:04:48,635
Hey, look.

646
01:04:52,556 --> 01:04:54,349
Oh! That's an ornate scallop.

647
01:04:55,225 --> 01:04:56,476
<i>Pecten ornatus.</i>

648
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:57,728
All right.

649
01:04:59,104 --> 01:05:02,357
- Well, it's unusual to find one here.
- Really?

650
01:05:03,025 --> 01:05:06,320
Yeah. This particular species
usually inhabits regions south of here

651
01:05:06,403 --> 01:05:09,031
'cause these waters are too cool for them.

652
01:05:11,408 --> 01:05:12,408
What?

653
01:05:13,076 --> 01:05:17,247
Oh, no, it's just, the Marsh Girl
knows the Latin name for shells

654
01:05:17,873 --> 01:05:20,500
and where they inhabit and why,
for chrissakes.

655
01:05:22,044 --> 01:05:23,128
Here. You keep it.

656
01:05:26,131 --> 01:05:27,174
Thank you.

657
01:05:32,262 --> 01:05:33,764
You're something else, ain't ya?

658
01:05:58,288 --> 01:06:00,832
I know you think I'm trash,
but I'm worth more than a picnic.

659
01:06:00,916 --> 01:06:02,209
Oh, no, Kya. Come on.

660
01:06:02,292 --> 01:06:05,253
I'm sorry. No. Hey, come on.
I've never thought you were trash.

661
01:06:06,421 --> 01:06:07,506
Please. I'm sorry.

662
01:06:07,589 --> 01:06:10,509
I understand if you wanna go,
but you can't walk from here.

663
01:06:10,592 --> 01:06:11,592
It's too far.

664
01:06:12,260 --> 01:06:13,804
Can I make it up to you?

665
01:06:16,264 --> 01:06:18,266
Please, can I make it up to you?

666
01:06:20,936 --> 01:06:23,146
I can't believe you never been up
the fire tower.

667
01:06:23,230 --> 01:06:26,483
Come here when my family's
all in my business. You know?

668
01:06:28,110 --> 01:06:30,529
It's a great way to see
the whole marsh from above.

669
01:06:35,992 --> 01:06:36,992
Here.

670
01:07:02,436 --> 01:07:03,478
What is it?

671
01:07:05,272 --> 01:07:07,524
You can tell me. I won't laugh at you.

672
01:07:08,817 --> 01:07:13,697
It's like having a friend your whole life
but you never saw their full face.

673
01:07:16,324 --> 01:07:17,324
Now I see it.

674
01:07:23,373 --> 01:07:25,375
Your house is over there, ain't it?

675
01:07:29,588 --> 01:07:30,630
Take me there.

676
01:07:33,550 --> 01:07:35,927
- It's far.
- Hey, I like far.

677
01:07:37,637 --> 01:07:40,432
I don't care what it's like,
if that's what you're worried about.

678
01:07:47,105 --> 01:07:48,482
Is this it right here?

679
01:07:51,526 --> 01:07:53,695
How long you lived out here by yourself?

680
01:07:54,362 --> 01:07:55,614
About 10 years, I think.

681
01:07:56,531 --> 01:07:57,531
Neat.

682
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,744
Living out here with no parents
telling you what to do?

683
01:08:03,455 --> 01:08:05,749
There's really nothing to see inside.

684
01:08:08,877 --> 01:08:10,921
- Wow, what you got on the porch?
- What?

685
01:08:11,505 --> 01:08:13,340
Oh, nothing.

686
01:08:24,267 --> 01:08:25,644
What is all this?

687
01:08:26,812 --> 01:08:27,854
Nothing.

688
01:08:34,402 --> 01:08:36,947
What, you writing a book or something?

689
01:08:38,365 --> 01:08:39,407
Sort of.

690
01:08:40,492 --> 01:08:43,245
These look straight out
of an encyclopedia.

691
01:08:46,164 --> 01:08:47,791
You're the real deal, ain't ya?

692
01:08:51,419 --> 01:08:52,546
Ah, swanee.

693
01:08:53,129 --> 01:08:54,881
You got a water pump.

694
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:58,218
I wasn't ready for guests.

695
01:08:58,301 --> 01:08:59,511
Hey, don't worry.

696
01:09:03,014 --> 01:09:06,059
Hey, there's nobody I know
who could live out here alone like this.

697
01:09:06,935 --> 01:09:09,354
I mean, most guys would be too scared.

698
01:09:12,691 --> 01:09:13,775
What do you want with me?

699
01:09:18,822 --> 01:09:22,242
Okay. Look, I'm real sorry
I came on like that.

700
01:09:22,325 --> 01:09:24,995
I wanna get to know you better. All right?

701
01:09:25,078 --> 01:09:26,580
I think you're gorgeous.

702
01:09:27,998 --> 01:09:32,043
I do. I think you're free as a dang gale
and smart as a whip.

703
01:09:33,962 --> 01:09:36,256
But I won't do anything
unless you want me to.

704
01:09:37,591 --> 01:09:38,591
How's that?

705
01:09:41,928 --> 01:09:42,928
That's fine.

706
01:09:44,556 --> 01:09:45,724
All right.

707
01:09:57,068 --> 01:09:59,779
<i>I didn't know
exactly how I felt about Chase.</i>

708
01:10:00,530 --> 01:10:02,282
<i>But I was no longer lonely.</i>

709
01:10:03,158 --> 01:10:04,451
<i>That seemed enough.</i>

710
01:10:06,661 --> 01:10:08,079
Is that for your book?

711
01:10:09,039 --> 01:10:10,123
Yeah.

712
01:10:10,957 --> 01:10:13,293
Anyway, who knows if anyone will read it.

713
01:10:14,085 --> 01:10:15,085
I will.

714
01:10:16,212 --> 01:10:17,881
<i>The marsh was our secret.</i>

715
01:10:28,099 --> 01:10:29,309
<i>Tell me about your friends.</i>

716
01:10:30,018 --> 01:10:31,937
Oh, I don't really have any friends.

717
01:10:34,189 --> 01:10:37,233
You always seem to be having
a good time when you're with them.

718
01:10:37,317 --> 01:10:38,317
You spying on me?

719
01:10:43,448 --> 01:10:45,033
It's funny. My dad told me once,

720
01:10:45,116 --> 01:10:48,995
he'd had something to drink
and a fight with my mom.

721
01:10:50,330 --> 01:10:53,959
He told me if my friends really knew me,
they wouldn't be my friends.

722
01:10:55,877 --> 01:11:01,341
I don't know if anyone really knows me,
is what I'm saying, I guess.

723
01:11:05,845 --> 01:11:07,681
I wonder what makes the sky blue.

724
01:11:09,641 --> 01:11:11,977
Blue and violet wavelengths from sunlight.

725
01:11:13,269 --> 01:11:18,149
They bounce off the gas particles
in the atmosphere and scatter.

726
01:11:25,615 --> 01:11:26,908
Is it okay if I...

727
01:11:28,368 --> 01:11:29,577
kiss you now?

728
01:11:41,297 --> 01:11:45,719
<i>Let's turn to the red wool fibers found
on Chase Andrews' denim jacket</i>

729
01:11:45,802 --> 01:11:47,137
the night he died.

730
01:11:48,013 --> 01:11:51,224
Did you compare those samples
to this red ski cap?

731
01:11:51,307 --> 01:11:52,308
Exhibit C.

732
01:11:52,392 --> 01:11:56,438
Yes. The fibers from the cap
and the jacket matched exactly.

733
01:11:56,521 --> 01:11:58,273
And where was that cap found?

734
01:11:58,356 --> 01:12:00,900
It was found in Miss Clark's residence.

735
01:12:02,610 --> 01:12:06,197
<i>Now, about these red fibers,
is there any way, doctor,</i>

736
01:12:06,281 --> 01:12:09,159
<i>to determine how long the fibers
had been on the jacket?</i>

737
01:12:09,242 --> 01:12:12,871
<i>No. We can tell
where they came from, not when.</i>

738
01:12:12,954 --> 01:12:15,081
<i>And if someone wore this hat often,</i>

739
01:12:15,165 --> 01:12:18,752
<i>is it possible the fibers would be
in their hair and on their clothes?</i>

740
01:12:18,835 --> 01:12:22,130
<i>Yes. I would suppose they could.</i>

741
01:12:22,213 --> 01:12:25,842
So would you agree
that at any time during the years

742
01:12:25,925 --> 01:12:28,553
that the defendant, Miss Clark,
knew Chase Andrews,

743
01:12:28,636 --> 01:12:32,265
the fibers of the hat could
have been transferred onto Chase's jacket?

744
01:12:32,348 --> 01:12:34,893
From what I've seen, yes.

745
01:12:34,976 --> 01:12:38,313
- At any time they met.
- Yes.

746
01:12:54,079 --> 01:12:58,249
"Dear Miss Clark,
we were fascinated by your manuscript.

747
01:12:58,750 --> 01:13:01,878
If, as you say, your materials
are already complete,

748
01:13:02,504 --> 01:13:05,757
we hope to edit
and publish in record time."

749
01:13:11,429 --> 01:13:14,849
Hey. You're looking at
the new manager of Western Auto.

750
01:13:16,935 --> 01:13:17,977
Oh, Chase.

751
01:13:19,104 --> 01:13:21,231
- That's great news.
- Come on. Let's celebrate.

752
01:13:33,368 --> 01:13:37,163
So they're gonna pay you
for those drawings?

753
01:13:37,247 --> 01:13:38,289
Yeah.

754
01:13:44,254 --> 01:13:46,339
Just don't get too full of yourself,
I guess.

755
01:13:47,549 --> 01:13:48,633
I wouldn't.

756
01:13:52,637 --> 01:13:55,014
I know people have disappointed you.

757
01:13:56,266 --> 01:13:57,809
And I'm sorry for that.

758
01:13:59,227 --> 01:14:01,354
Getting left by your own family. I mean...

759
01:14:02,647 --> 01:14:06,192
God, my family's a pain in the ass,
but I don't think I could take that.

760
01:14:06,776 --> 01:14:09,195
But I want you to know
that I'm gonna take care of you.

761
01:14:11,072 --> 01:14:12,323
Now I've been promoted,

762
01:14:12,407 --> 01:14:14,450
I can get you a nice house
when we're married.

763
01:14:14,534 --> 01:14:16,119
- "Married"?
- Yeah.

764
01:14:16,661 --> 01:14:19,914
A nice two-story on the beach
with a wraparound veranda.

765
01:14:21,166 --> 01:14:22,250
Yeah.

766
01:14:25,670 --> 01:14:27,297
What about your parents?

767
01:14:27,380 --> 01:14:28,840
Have you told them about me?

768
01:14:29,549 --> 01:14:31,301
What you gotta understand about my folks

769
01:14:31,384 --> 01:14:34,387
is that if I say you're my choice,
that'd be that.

770
01:14:34,971 --> 01:14:37,390
They'll fall in love with you
when they get to know ya.

771
01:14:41,853 --> 01:14:42,853
Come here.

772
01:14:49,194 --> 01:14:53,781
Oh, by the way, I have to drive over
to Asheville in a few days

773
01:14:53,865 --> 01:14:55,867
to buy goods for my dad's store.

774
01:14:55,950 --> 01:14:57,785
I was thinking you could come.

775
01:14:58,578 --> 01:15:00,330
Celebrate your book and all.

776
01:15:01,873 --> 01:15:03,833
- There'd be lots of people.
- It doesn't matter.

777
01:15:03,917 --> 01:15:05,710
You'd be with me. I know everything.

778
01:15:06,502 --> 01:15:09,255
Hell, you don't have to talk to one soul
if you don't want to.

779
01:15:10,131 --> 01:15:13,468
Come on. If we're gonna get married,
you need to get out in the world a bit.

780
01:15:14,636 --> 01:15:16,638
Spread those long wings of yours.

781
01:15:19,057 --> 01:15:20,683
Come on. It'll be fun.

782
01:15:28,900 --> 01:15:32,612
It's a two-day job,
so we'll stay the night.

783
01:15:36,991 --> 01:15:39,327
<i>Hold my head up high</i>

784
01:15:41,621 --> 01:15:42,747
Incredible, huh?

785
01:16:02,892 --> 01:16:05,395
Hey. It's an adventure. Come on.

786
01:17:08,207 --> 01:17:12,712
It'll feel better for you later,
the more you do it.

787
01:17:21,429 --> 01:17:23,139
Hey, I never wanna lose you.

788
01:17:27,143 --> 01:17:29,062
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

789
01:17:30,271 --> 01:17:31,731
I think about it a lot.

790
01:17:33,274 --> 01:17:35,568
Sneaking out at night to come see you.

791
01:17:37,612 --> 01:17:38,612
My Marsh Girl.

792
01:17:42,533 --> 01:17:44,619
<i>Nobody knows</i>

793
01:17:45,620 --> 01:17:47,372
<i>Nobody sees</i>

794
01:17:48,206 --> 01:17:50,750
<i>Nobody knows but me</i>

795
01:17:54,420 --> 01:17:58,216
Hey, you don't have to prove yourself
to anyone. You understand?

796
01:17:59,759 --> 01:18:01,386
You have me, and I love you.

797
01:18:05,223 --> 01:18:06,557
I made you something.

798
01:18:21,406 --> 01:18:23,199
<i>It was a single shell,</i>

799
01:18:23,282 --> 01:18:26,911
<i>hung on a piece of rawhide,
tied in a tight knot, and it was missing.</i>

800
01:18:26,994 --> 01:18:31,332
<i>So to be clear, what you're saying
is that the shell necklace</i>

801
01:18:31,416 --> 01:18:35,253
that Chase wore every day
was missing from these items

802
01:18:35,336 --> 01:18:39,465
that law enforcement recovered
from his body the day that he was found.

803
01:18:39,966 --> 01:18:41,217
Is that correct?

804
01:18:41,300 --> 01:18:43,678
- I think it's important.
- Yes.

805
01:18:44,429 --> 01:18:47,682
He had that necklace on
when he had dinner with us that night.

806
01:18:48,975 --> 01:18:51,769
And it was gone from his body.

807
01:18:53,187 --> 01:18:55,189
And what I'm saying is
he never took it off.

808
01:18:55,690 --> 01:18:57,733
Whoever killed him took it.

809
01:18:57,817 --> 01:19:00,945
Objection, Your Honor. It's speculation.

810
01:19:01,028 --> 01:19:02,155
Sustained.

811
01:19:02,655 --> 01:19:04,157
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

812
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:08,035
you will disregard
that last remark by Mrs. Andrews.

813
01:19:08,119 --> 01:19:12,582
Mrs. Andrews, where did Chase
get this necklace?

814
01:19:12,665 --> 01:19:16,377
It's from that Marsh Girl. Miss Clark.

815
01:19:17,044 --> 01:19:19,922
I didn't even know her name
or if she even had one.

816
01:19:21,382 --> 01:19:22,925
I can't see why Chase...

817
01:19:24,051 --> 01:19:25,428
But what I'm saying is,

818
01:19:26,012 --> 01:19:30,183
she's the only one who'd have
any interest in taking the thing.

819
01:19:30,266 --> 01:19:32,018
Mrs. Andrews...

820
01:19:34,061 --> 01:19:36,981
were Chase and Miss Clark
romantically involved?

821
01:19:37,064 --> 01:19:40,026
You could say.
I saw him sneaking out at night.

822
01:19:40,693 --> 01:19:43,946
When I finally asked him
where he was going, he told me the truth.

823
01:19:45,156 --> 01:19:47,950
I thought: What would people say?

824
01:19:49,327 --> 01:19:53,247
I was a silly woman to be worried
about that next to...

825
01:19:58,586 --> 01:20:02,173
But he told me he broke it off with her.

826
01:20:03,049 --> 01:20:06,719
She knew she couldn't have him anymore,
so she killed him

827
01:20:06,802 --> 01:20:09,263
- and took back her ugly necklace!
- Objection, Your Honor.

828
01:20:12,975 --> 01:20:15,520
- Sustained.
- No further questions, Your Honor.

829
01:20:19,941 --> 01:20:23,277
Mrs. Andrews, you have
my deepest sympathy for your loss.

830
01:20:23,903 --> 01:20:25,988
With all due respect,

831
01:20:26,072 --> 01:20:30,868
you are aware that Miss Clark's house
was thoroughly searched.

832
01:20:31,744 --> 01:20:35,373
And that the police
did not find the necklace there.

833
01:20:35,456 --> 01:20:37,875
- Did they?
- No.

834
01:21:00,147 --> 01:21:01,190
Hey.

835
01:21:02,066 --> 01:21:03,109
I got it.

836
01:21:04,277 --> 01:21:06,946
- Almost got you.
- Almost knocked me out.

837
01:21:07,029 --> 01:21:08,447
Just trying to show off.

838
01:21:10,741 --> 01:21:13,327
What's that Marsh Girl like in bed, man?
Is she an animal?

839
01:21:13,411 --> 01:21:16,122
Wild as a bobcat and worth
every bit of the gas money.

840
01:21:16,664 --> 01:21:18,082
Tell me her eyes glow.

841
01:21:18,541 --> 01:21:21,752
- Only for me and only when I make them.
- Hey, don't talk about her like that.

842
01:21:22,837 --> 01:21:25,715
- What's that?
- I said don't talk about her like that.

843
01:21:25,798 --> 01:21:27,758
Oh, the college boy.

844
01:21:29,719 --> 01:21:31,887
He taught the Marsh Girl her ABCs.

845
01:21:33,014 --> 01:21:34,181
You're a waste of her time.

846
01:21:36,183 --> 01:21:38,352
Go ahead, college boy. What you gonna do?

847
01:21:38,436 --> 01:21:41,689
- Come on, you're tough, right?
- Come on, let's do something.

848
01:21:41,772 --> 01:21:45,067
- You wanna hit me?
- Hey, y'all settle down now.

849
01:21:45,151 --> 01:21:46,444
That's enough.

850
01:21:48,237 --> 01:21:50,406
Settle down before someone get hurt.

851
01:21:51,407 --> 01:21:52,700
There's better ways than this.

852
01:22:13,012 --> 01:22:14,096
Hey, Kya.

853
01:22:17,058 --> 01:22:18,058
Hey, what the hell?

854
01:22:18,893 --> 01:22:20,978
Wait! Kya, wait! Please.

855
01:22:21,062 --> 01:22:22,146
Look, I just wanna talk.

856
01:22:22,229 --> 01:22:24,106
Get out of my lagoon, you dirty creep!

857
01:22:24,190 --> 01:22:26,025
Kya, please! I just need to talk to you!

858
01:22:26,108 --> 01:22:27,735
I don't care what you want!

859
01:22:28,444 --> 01:22:31,030
I never wanna see you again. Ever.

860
01:22:31,113 --> 01:22:33,032
Kya, I need to talk to you
about Chase, okay?

861
01:22:33,115 --> 01:22:35,868
- About Chase?
- He's not good enough for you.

862
01:22:37,536 --> 01:22:40,539
You're the one who left me.

863
01:22:42,166 --> 01:22:45,920
Who didn't come back when you promised.
Who never came back.

864
01:22:48,464 --> 01:22:52,677
You didn't even write to explain or
even to say if you were alive or dead.

865
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:53,969
You just disappeared.

866
01:22:54,053 --> 01:22:57,390
I know. And I'm so sorry, Kya,
you have no idea.

867
01:22:57,473 --> 01:23:00,893
You weren't man enough to face me.

868
01:23:02,144 --> 01:23:03,270
You're right, Kya.

869
01:23:04,563 --> 01:23:06,190
Everything you say is true.

870
01:23:07,066 --> 01:23:09,443
Leaving you like that was
the worst thing I've ever done,

871
01:23:09,527 --> 01:23:11,320
the worst thing I'll ever do in my life.

872
01:23:11,987 --> 01:23:16,283
I knew how badly I'd hurt you,
and I couldn't face you, like you said.

873
01:23:18,994 --> 01:23:23,624
I thought you wouldn't be able to leave
the marsh and live in any other world.

874
01:23:24,458 --> 01:23:28,504
You know, I thought I had to choose
between you and everything else.

875
01:23:28,587 --> 01:23:31,257
But the truth is, Kya,
everything else that I thought mattered,

876
01:23:31,340 --> 01:23:34,510
the scholarships, the grants, the jobs,
it means nothing without you.

877
01:23:37,138 --> 01:23:38,347
I was so wrong.

878
01:23:39,390 --> 01:23:41,142
I've been sorry for years.

879
01:23:43,561 --> 01:23:45,813
And I'll be sorry for the rest of my life.

880
01:23:56,782 --> 01:23:57,782
You look...

881
01:24:10,004 --> 01:24:11,422
I brought you something.

882
01:24:29,231 --> 01:24:32,401
You know, I'm working
at the new lab near town.

883
01:24:34,195 --> 01:24:35,321
You'd love it, Kya.

884
01:24:35,404 --> 01:24:37,573
I get to study all this
under a microscope.

885
01:24:40,910 --> 01:24:42,119
So I'm here now.

886
01:24:44,455 --> 01:24:45,581
I'm back for good.

887
01:24:55,633 --> 01:24:57,676
Kya, I would do anything to...

888
01:25:00,846 --> 01:25:03,057
I would've done
so many things differently.

889
01:25:11,732 --> 01:25:13,651
What do you want now, Tate?

890
01:25:13,734 --> 01:25:16,487
Is there any way that
you could possibly forgive me, Kya?

891
01:25:18,906 --> 01:25:19,906
Please?

892
01:25:22,910 --> 01:25:24,370
I don't know how.

893
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:51,647
Kya, I trust you would tell me
if you knew of anyone else

894
01:25:51,730 --> 01:25:54,441
who had reason to harm Chase Andrews.

895
01:25:58,988 --> 01:26:00,906
Well, all right, then.

896
01:26:01,490 --> 01:26:03,033
Try and get some rest.

897
01:26:10,332 --> 01:26:11,166
Hi.

898
01:26:11,250 --> 01:26:13,377
Hey. What you doing in town?

899
01:26:13,460 --> 01:26:17,381
I had some good news from the publisher,
so I thought we could celebrate.

900
01:26:17,882 --> 01:26:19,282
- I was gonna make...
- There he is.

901
01:26:26,891 --> 01:26:28,893
Kya, you know Brian, Tina, Pearl.

902
01:26:29,727 --> 01:26:32,313
- You guys know Kya.
- Sure, yeah, the Marsh Girl.

903
01:26:32,980 --> 01:26:34,732
Pleased to meet you, Kya.

904
01:26:35,357 --> 01:26:37,276
I'm Chase's fiancée.

905
01:26:39,486 --> 01:26:41,822
All right. Well, I'll see you around, Kya.

906
01:27:22,571 --> 01:27:23,697
Kya!

907
01:27:24,865 --> 01:27:26,700
Hey, Kya. I can explain.

908
01:27:29,662 --> 01:27:30,746
Are you in there?

909
01:27:32,831 --> 01:27:34,249
Hey, I just wanna talk.

910
01:27:35,918 --> 01:27:37,169
Kya!

911
01:27:40,547 --> 01:27:41,840
I know you're here, damn it!

912
01:27:47,846 --> 01:27:48,846
Kya!

913
01:28:43,610 --> 01:28:45,320
<i>I had to do life alone.</i>

914
01:28:47,614 --> 01:28:48,741
<i>But I knew that.</i>

915
01:28:50,367 --> 01:28:52,036
<i>I'd known for a long time.</i>

916
01:28:54,204 --> 01:28:55,414
<i>People don't stay.</i>

917
01:29:07,843 --> 01:29:08,927
<i>"Dear Miss Clark,</i>

918
01:29:09,553 --> 01:29:12,598
<i>enclosed is the final copy
of your beautiful book,</i>

919
01:29:13,098 --> 01:29:15,434
<i>along with the initial check for delivery,</i>

920
01:29:15,517 --> 01:29:17,394
<i>with royalties to follow, I'm sure.</i>

921
01:29:18,896 --> 01:29:21,190
<i>I'm attending a conference
in Greenville next month</i>

922
01:29:21,273 --> 01:29:24,401
<i>and would love for you to join us
and celebrate this great accomplishment."</i>

923
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:35,913
<i>"A full deed for Catherine Danielle Clark</i>

924
01:29:35,996 --> 01:29:41,293
<i>for 310 acres of lagoons,
marsh, oak forests and beach.</i>

925
01:29:41,877 --> 01:29:44,963
<i>Wasteland category: murky swamp."</i>

926
01:30:06,485 --> 01:30:07,402
Jodie?

927
01:30:07,486 --> 01:30:10,823
There I am in Asheville,
and I see your book in a shop:

928
01:30:11,573 --> 01:30:13,033
Catherine Danielle Clark.

929
01:30:13,117 --> 01:30:17,913
And my heart just broke
and leapt for joy all at once.

930
01:30:17,996 --> 01:30:19,957
I knew I had to find you.

931
01:30:20,666 --> 01:30:22,459
I just didn't think you'd still be here.

932
01:30:23,544 --> 01:30:24,878
What about the others?

933
01:30:25,712 --> 01:30:28,173
I don't know a thing
about Murph, Mandy or Missy.

934
01:30:28,799 --> 01:30:31,218
I wouldn't know them
if I passed them in the street.

935
01:30:31,844 --> 01:30:32,844
And...

936
01:30:34,847 --> 01:30:35,931
what about Ma?

937
01:30:39,059 --> 01:30:41,019
Ma passed, Kya.

938
01:30:49,236 --> 01:30:51,572
Ma had a sister, Rosemary.

939
01:30:51,655 --> 01:30:54,533
She found me in the Army
and told me what happened.

940
01:30:54,616 --> 01:30:57,828
Showed up at Rosemary's door
in her alligator shoes.

941
01:30:57,911 --> 01:31:00,539
Rosemary said she didn't talk for months.

942
01:31:00,622 --> 01:31:03,375
And then about a year later,
she remembered she had children.

943
01:31:04,084 --> 01:31:07,754
Rosemary helped her write a letter to Pa,
asking if she could come get us.

944
01:31:08,672 --> 01:31:11,216
And he told her
if she ever so much as contacted us again,

945
01:31:11,300 --> 01:31:13,010
he'd beat us unrecognizable.

946
01:31:14,511 --> 01:31:16,096
Yeah, sounds like Pa.

947
01:31:16,180 --> 01:31:18,599
She saved up for lawyers and everything,

948
01:31:19,349 --> 01:31:20,851
but then she got sick.

949
01:31:20,934 --> 01:31:21,977
Leukemia.

950
01:31:22,853 --> 01:31:23,854
She tried, but...

951
01:31:23,937 --> 01:31:25,355
She never had a chance.

952
01:31:28,609 --> 01:31:29,610
I've been waiting...

953
01:31:30,903 --> 01:31:33,071
all these years
for her to walk down the lane.

954
01:31:34,907 --> 01:31:37,326
You didn't have a family your whole life,

955
01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:40,621
and there's nothing I can do
to give you that back.

956
01:31:41,622 --> 01:31:45,375
But I'd like to come see you
as much as I can get up here.

957
01:31:50,505 --> 01:31:52,049
Yeah, I'd like that.

958
01:32:29,294 --> 01:32:30,921
<i>Mabel's gonna be so proud.</i>

959
01:32:31,004 --> 01:32:32,506
Just one more thing.

960
01:32:35,050 --> 01:32:36,802
I'll be sure he gets it.

961
01:32:38,136 --> 01:32:39,304
Thank you, Jumpin'.

962
01:32:44,309 --> 01:32:45,560
How y'all doing?

963
01:32:45,644 --> 01:32:48,480
One pack of your finest, please, sir.

964
01:32:48,563 --> 01:32:50,065
And give me some matches.

965
01:32:50,148 --> 01:32:52,234
- Sure thing.
- "Sure thing."

966
01:32:53,694 --> 01:32:55,362
Kya Clark.

967
01:32:55,988 --> 01:32:57,739
Miss Catherine Danielle Clark.

968
01:32:57,823 --> 01:32:59,700
You wrote a damn book. Come here.

969
01:32:59,783 --> 01:33:01,702
Wait, wait, wait. I wanna talk to you.

970
01:33:01,785 --> 01:33:03,704
Don't act like that. Come on.

971
01:33:04,579 --> 01:33:05,747
Leave me alone.

972
01:33:08,709 --> 01:33:11,420
Damn, the Marsh Girl thinks
she's too good for you now.

973
01:33:12,045 --> 01:33:13,045
Shut up!

974
01:33:13,088 --> 01:33:15,382
Here you go, sir. It's on the house.

975
01:33:24,850 --> 01:33:26,435
Thought I might find you here.

976
01:33:27,811 --> 01:33:29,187
I told you to leave me alone.

977
01:33:29,271 --> 01:33:32,691
No, I know, but I just...
Listen, I wanted to say I'm sorry.

978
01:33:32,774 --> 01:33:36,194
Really. I feel bad about
how things turned out.

979
01:33:37,404 --> 01:33:38,864
"How things turned out"?

980
01:33:40,324 --> 01:33:41,950
What, you mean how it turned out

981
01:33:42,034 --> 01:33:44,369
you were engaged
the whole time we were together?

982
01:33:45,412 --> 01:33:48,999
How it turned out
that you lie to everybody?

983
01:33:49,082 --> 01:33:51,585
Kya, I have to do things
I don't wanna do. You know that.

984
01:33:51,668 --> 01:33:54,755
No, I have to get married
to someone like Pearl. I had to.

985
01:33:54,838 --> 01:33:56,631
But you're the one I really want.

986
01:34:00,969 --> 01:34:03,221
You know any other man
would have tried to change you?

987
01:34:04,014 --> 01:34:05,140
To fix you?

988
01:34:06,475 --> 01:34:07,726
I never did.

989
01:34:09,227 --> 01:34:10,479
No, no. Please, please, wait.

990
01:34:10,562 --> 01:34:11,980
I need you. I really need you.

991
01:34:13,565 --> 01:34:15,484
Don't leave me all alone in that place.

992
01:34:16,318 --> 01:34:17,652
You know, nobody else knows me.

993
01:34:22,199 --> 01:34:24,034
You know, I feel sorry for you.

994
01:34:26,203 --> 01:34:28,372
But I want nothing to do with any of that.

995
01:34:42,594 --> 01:34:43,762
Wilder than ever.

996
01:34:47,933 --> 01:34:49,434
I know you want this too.

997
01:34:49,518 --> 01:34:51,395
- Stop!
- I know you want this too.

998
01:34:57,442 --> 01:35:00,320
You're mine, Kya. You belong to me.
I'm not letting you go this time.

999
01:35:21,133 --> 01:35:23,301
Leave me alone, you bastard!

1000
01:35:24,678 --> 01:35:27,681
You bother me again and I'll kill you!

1001
01:35:28,473 --> 01:35:30,600
<i>She shouted it real loud, sir.</i>

1002
01:35:30,684 --> 01:35:32,727
<i>I heard a commotion, and I come closer,</i>

1003
01:35:32,811 --> 01:35:35,939
see if anybody was in trouble,
and there she was.

1004
01:35:36,022 --> 01:35:37,983
And do you recognize the woman?

1005
01:35:38,775 --> 01:35:42,279
Is she in the courtroom today?

1006
01:35:42,362 --> 01:35:44,656
Yes, that one there. The defendant.

1007
01:35:45,449 --> 01:35:47,242
The one folks call Marsh Girl.

1008
01:35:52,664 --> 01:35:55,750
<i>I finally understood why Ma had to leave.</i>

1009
01:37:02,317 --> 01:37:03,985
<i>One thing I learned from Pa,</i>

1010
01:37:04,653 --> 01:37:06,905
<i>these men have to have the last punch.</i>

1011
01:37:34,808 --> 01:37:36,643
<i>Being isolated was one thing.</i>

1012
01:37:37,769 --> 01:37:40,772
<i>Living in fear, quite another.</i>

1013
01:37:42,649 --> 01:37:44,568
<i>I will never live like that.</i>

1014
01:37:45,777 --> 01:37:49,781
<i>A life wondering
when the next fist will fall.</i>

1015
01:38:11,678 --> 01:38:12,929
Tate, you can't be here.

1016
01:38:13,555 --> 01:38:15,015
I just wanted to check on you.

1017
01:38:15,098 --> 01:38:17,601
- Jumpin' said he hadn't seen you since...
- Not now.

1018
01:38:19,269 --> 01:38:20,854
Kya, what happened to your face?

1019
01:38:21,646 --> 01:38:24,149
Was it Chase?
Tell me, Kya. Did he do this?

1020
01:38:24,232 --> 01:38:25,859
I need you to stay out of it.

1021
01:38:25,942 --> 01:38:27,360
That son of a bitch.

1022
01:38:28,069 --> 01:38:30,822
- That son of a bitch.
- Tate, I need you to go.

1023
01:38:30,905 --> 01:38:32,157
Kya.

1024
01:38:38,747 --> 01:38:40,832
You know, I was gonna go
to Greenville next week.

1025
01:38:44,085 --> 01:38:45,712
Finally meet my publishers.

1026
01:38:47,922 --> 01:38:49,507
Talk about the next book.

1027
01:38:50,133 --> 01:38:51,468
I was feeling brave enough.

1028
01:38:51,968 --> 01:38:53,595
Well, you can still go.

1029
01:38:53,678 --> 01:38:55,263
Looking like this?

1030
01:38:55,347 --> 01:38:57,098
Don't let him ruin this for you.

1031
01:38:58,308 --> 01:38:59,392
Go to Greenville.

1032
01:39:00,310 --> 01:39:01,895
Okay? There's a bus.

1033
01:39:01,978 --> 01:39:03,772
It's easy. Jumpin's got the schedule.

1034
01:39:04,689 --> 01:39:06,483
Let them put you up in a nice hotel,

1035
01:39:07,150 --> 01:39:09,361
eat some hot restaurant food
you didn't have to make.

1036
01:39:09,444 --> 01:39:11,404
Stay a week, if you can.

1037
01:39:12,322 --> 01:39:15,200
And I'll come see you
when you're back. Okay?

1038
01:39:16,242 --> 01:39:18,036
Hear how it all went with the publishers.

1039
01:39:18,870 --> 01:39:19,996
All right.

1040
01:39:27,629 --> 01:39:28,629
Hey, you cold?

1041
01:39:30,340 --> 01:39:33,259
I'm fine. I don't need you
to take care of me.

1042
01:39:33,343 --> 01:39:35,220
I know, but just take my hat.

1043
01:39:35,845 --> 01:39:37,972
- I said I don't need your help.
- Just take it.

1044
01:40:06,835 --> 01:40:09,379
<i>You wanna tell me
what happened to your eye?</i>

1045
01:40:10,714 --> 01:40:12,799
I need to write down the bus schedule.

1046
01:40:12,882 --> 01:40:14,384
You have a copy, right?

1047
01:40:19,848 --> 01:40:22,642
It was that Chase, wasn't it?

1048
01:40:25,186 --> 01:40:26,604
Kya, look at me.

1049
01:40:29,607 --> 01:40:31,526
Now you tell me what he did.

1050
01:40:33,820 --> 01:40:35,071
I can't say it.

1051
01:40:36,698 --> 01:40:37,782
It's over now.

1052
01:40:38,575 --> 01:40:40,368
I just want it out of my life.

1053
01:40:40,452 --> 01:40:42,704
And how you know
he ain't coming after you again?

1054
01:40:43,997 --> 01:40:46,708
- You're all by your lonesome out there.
- Jumpin', please.

1055
01:40:48,001 --> 01:40:49,794
You can't tell anybody.

1056
01:40:50,420 --> 01:40:51,629
You know how it is.

1057
01:40:51,713 --> 01:40:57,051
They'd drag me into the sheriff's office
and make me describe it to a bunch of men.

1058
01:40:58,178 --> 01:41:01,598
And then write me up in the papers,
accusing me of whoring.

1059
01:41:02,682 --> 01:41:04,768
Or trying to get money out of his parents.

1060
01:41:05,643 --> 01:41:07,312
Okay? They'd do nothing about it.

1061
01:41:07,395 --> 01:41:08,438
You're right, Kya.

1062
01:41:11,024 --> 01:41:13,485
And I ain't gonna do anything
to make this thing worse.

1063
01:41:15,737 --> 01:41:18,990
But you let me know
when you're coming and going.

1064
01:41:19,073 --> 01:41:20,116
You hear?

1065
01:41:20,950 --> 01:41:22,827
I gotta know if you're out of town.

1066
01:41:26,247 --> 01:41:29,417
'Cause if I don't see you for a while...

1067
01:41:34,798 --> 01:41:36,132
Thank you, Jumpin'.

1068
01:41:37,217 --> 01:41:38,885
I'm leaving in a few days.

1069
01:41:40,595 --> 01:41:42,222
I'll come see you as soon as I'm back.

1070
01:41:44,557 --> 01:41:45,642
Okay, that's good.

1071
01:41:46,726 --> 01:41:47,726
That's good.

1072
01:41:51,523 --> 01:41:55,819
<i>Miss Price, would you tell us
what you saw on the morning of October 29?</i>

1073
01:41:55,902 --> 01:41:57,862
I saw the Marsh Girl...

1074
01:41:57,946 --> 01:41:59,614
Miss Clark, that is. Pardon me.

1075
01:41:59,697 --> 01:42:02,742
- Get on the 9:00 bus.
- Well, you've got quite a good memory.

1076
01:42:02,826 --> 01:42:03,868
We all talked about it.

1077
01:42:03,952 --> 01:42:06,412
<i>We'd never seen her
all cleaned up like that.</i>

1078
01:42:06,496 --> 01:42:07,997
<i>Hair combed, makeup.</i>

1079
01:42:08,665 --> 01:42:13,002
<i>Just to be clear,
on the morning of October 29,</i>

1080
01:42:13,086 --> 01:42:17,882
<i>you and several others
saw Miss Clark board the 9 a.m. bus</i>

1081
01:42:17,966 --> 01:42:19,801
<i>and leave Barkley Cove.</i>

1082
01:42:19,884 --> 01:42:21,845
- Yes, that's right.
- Thank you, Miss Price.

1083
01:42:21,928 --> 01:42:23,555
No further questions, Your Honor.

1084
01:42:23,638 --> 01:42:28,142
Miss Price, is the Piggly Wiggly
open at 1:30 in the morning?

1085
01:42:28,768 --> 01:42:29,936
No, sir.

1086
01:42:31,020 --> 01:42:32,647
Well, the reason I ask is,

1087
01:42:33,231 --> 01:42:36,401
you couldn't have seen who got off
the night bus from Greenville,

1088
01:42:36,943 --> 01:42:39,654
nor could you have seen
who got on the 2:30 a.m. bus

1089
01:42:39,737 --> 01:42:43,283
from Barkley Cove
back to Greenville, could you?

1090
01:42:43,366 --> 01:42:45,034
Well, no. Of course not.

1091
01:42:45,118 --> 01:42:50,081
So after you saw Miss Clark board
that morning bus to Greenville...

1092
01:42:51,708 --> 01:42:54,502
she could have returned
to Barkley Cove that night

1093
01:42:54,586 --> 01:42:58,506
and been back in Greenville for breakfast,
all without you taking notice.

1094
01:42:59,299 --> 01:43:00,800
<i>My name is Robert Foster.</i>

1095
01:43:00,884 --> 01:43:04,095
I'm a senior editor
at Harrison Morris Publishing Company

1096
01:43:04,178 --> 01:43:05,263
in Boston, Massachusetts.

1097
01:43:05,346 --> 01:43:09,642
Mr. Foster, you sat down for dinner
with Miss Clark at 7 p.m.

1098
01:43:09,726 --> 01:43:11,769
on the night of October 29.

1099
01:43:11,853 --> 01:43:13,104
- Correct?
- Yes.

1100
01:43:13,187 --> 01:43:15,231
What was your first impression of her?

1101
01:43:16,733 --> 01:43:22,363
My first impression was that
she was very shy, very gentle, very smart.

1102
01:43:23,323 --> 01:43:25,116
I knew that she was
something of a recluse,

1103
01:43:25,199 --> 01:43:28,077
but I also knew that
she was a gifted naturalist.

1104
01:43:28,161 --> 01:43:31,122
<i>- How long did that dinner go on?
- At least a few hours.</i>

1105
01:43:31,205 --> 01:43:32,916
Some female insects do eat their mates.

1106
01:43:32,999 --> 01:43:35,793
Fireflies, in fact,
have two different light signals.

1107
01:43:36,294 --> 01:43:37,420
One for mating,

1108
01:43:37,503 --> 01:43:40,506
and one to attract a male
in order to make him her next meal.

1109
01:43:40,590 --> 01:43:42,091
- So she eats him?
- How gruesome.

1110
01:43:42,175 --> 01:43:45,094
- Oh, dear.
- I must spend less time with insects.

1111
01:43:45,178 --> 01:43:47,513
- It's quite amoral.
- Amoral, indeed.

1112
01:43:47,597 --> 01:43:49,807
I don't know if there is
a dark side to nature.

1113
01:43:51,684 --> 01:43:53,478
Just inventive ways to endure.

1114
01:43:54,771 --> 01:43:55,855
Against all odds.

1115
01:43:55,939 --> 01:44:00,526
And when you met with Miss Clark
the following morning, October 30th,

1116
01:44:00,610 --> 01:44:04,572
was there anything unusual
about her appearance or her demeanor?

1117
01:44:04,656 --> 01:44:05,823
Not at all.

1118
01:44:06,449 --> 01:44:08,117
No further questions, Your Honor.

1119
01:44:08,201 --> 01:44:13,373
Mr. Foster, did Miss Clark stay at
the same hotel as you and your colleagues?

1120
01:44:13,456 --> 01:44:16,084
No. She preferred a smaller hotel.

1121
01:44:16,167 --> 01:44:18,711
The Mountain something.

1122
01:44:18,795 --> 01:44:22,048
Could you look at this map
of Greenville for me, please?

1123
01:44:22,131 --> 01:44:26,719
I think you'll see The Piedmont,
where you and your colleagues stayed,

1124
01:44:26,803 --> 01:44:30,807
and then The Three Mountains Hotel,
where Miss Clark stayed.

1125
01:44:30,890 --> 01:44:34,394
Could you tell me which one
is closest to the bus station?

1126
01:44:36,062 --> 01:44:38,481
The Three Mountains Hotel is closer.

1127
01:44:38,564 --> 01:44:42,193
In fact, The Three Mountains
is the closest hotel

1128
01:44:42,276 --> 01:44:44,487
to the Greenville bus station.
Is that correct?

1129
01:44:45,780 --> 01:44:46,906
Looks that way.

1130
01:44:47,782 --> 01:44:49,117
No further questions.

1131
01:44:49,617 --> 01:44:52,996
I don't think a good lawyer
ever puts their client on the stand,

1132
01:44:53,079 --> 01:44:54,747
but this might help you.

1133
01:44:55,373 --> 01:44:59,669
For the jury to be able
to hear from you, directly.

1134
01:45:00,920 --> 01:45:04,007
For them to be able to see you...

1135
01:45:05,383 --> 01:45:07,969
as the kind
and thoughtful person you truly are.

1136
01:45:08,052 --> 01:45:09,679
They're never gonna see me like that.

1137
01:45:09,762 --> 01:45:13,182
Listen. I know you have a world
of reasons to hate these people...

1138
01:45:13,266 --> 01:45:14,684
No, I never hated them.

1139
01:45:14,767 --> 01:45:16,269
They hated me.

1140
01:45:17,603 --> 01:45:20,773
They laughed at me. They left me.

1141
01:45:21,357 --> 01:45:23,735
They harassed me. They attacked me.

1142
01:45:23,818 --> 01:45:26,779
You want me to beg for my life?

1143
01:45:27,864 --> 01:45:29,073
I don't have it in me.

1144
01:45:29,699 --> 01:45:30,783
I won't.

1145
01:45:32,535 --> 01:45:35,121
I will not offer myself up.

1146
01:45:35,204 --> 01:45:36,664
They can make their decision.

1147
01:45:39,208 --> 01:45:42,962
But they're not deciding
anything about me.

1148
01:45:44,881 --> 01:45:45,881
It's them.

1149
01:45:47,800 --> 01:45:49,260
They're judging themselves.

1150
01:45:52,013 --> 01:45:53,139
All right, then.

1151
01:46:00,521 --> 01:46:03,691
Mr. Milton, you have always
been kind to me.

1152
01:46:05,193 --> 01:46:06,444
Even as a child.

1153
01:46:08,237 --> 01:46:09,572
I never forgot.

1154
01:46:19,624 --> 01:46:23,336
<i>His life was cut short by the jilted lover</i>

1155
01:46:23,419 --> 01:46:26,631
<i>who could not accept
that he had returned to the fold.</i>

1156
01:46:27,173 --> 01:46:31,636
<i>A witness saw Miss Clark
and Chase in the marsh.</i>

1157
01:46:31,719 --> 01:46:34,555
<i>Heard her say the words "I'll kill you."</i>

1158
01:46:35,056 --> 01:46:36,390
<i>And what's more,</i>

1159
01:46:36,474 --> 01:46:40,770
<i>is there's physical evidence
from that night connecting them.</i>

1160
01:46:41,395 --> 01:46:44,440
<i>Fibers from her red wool cap</i>

1161
01:46:44,941 --> 01:46:46,818
<i>left on his denim jacket.</i>

1162
01:46:46,901 --> 01:46:48,444
Dad, I'm going over to deal with it.

1163
01:46:48,528 --> 01:46:51,489
<i>Who else would have motive
to take that shell necklace?</i>

1164
01:46:53,491 --> 01:46:55,993
You can, and you must,

1165
01:46:56,077 --> 01:47:00,665
find that the defendant
is guilty of first-degree murder.

1166
01:47:10,466 --> 01:47:11,592
Mr. Milton.

1167
01:47:27,358 --> 01:47:31,571
I have lived
in Barkley Cove my whole life.

1168
01:47:32,738 --> 01:47:36,742
And like you, I heard the tall tales

1169
01:47:36,826 --> 01:47:38,744
told about the Marsh Girl.

1170
01:47:39,287 --> 01:47:41,581
That she was part wolf.

1171
01:47:41,664 --> 01:47:45,334
A missing link between ape and man.

1172
01:47:45,835 --> 01:47:48,296
That her eyes glowed in the dark.

1173
01:47:50,047 --> 01:47:52,758
Well, here she is.

1174
01:47:53,634 --> 01:47:57,555
The reality is that
she was an abandoned child.

1175
01:47:57,638 --> 01:48:02,143
A little girl surviving out there
in the marsh on her own,

1176
01:48:02,226 --> 01:48:04,854
reviled and shunned.

1177
01:48:07,815 --> 01:48:11,235
Mr. James Madison and his wife, Mabel,

1178
01:48:11,319 --> 01:48:13,571
they are sitting here
in the courtroom today.

1179
01:48:13,654 --> 01:48:17,575
They're about the only people
in this town who showed her any care.

1180
01:48:17,658 --> 01:48:19,035
The rest of us...

1181
01:48:21,495 --> 01:48:23,372
Well, I'm ashamed to say

1182
01:48:24,540 --> 01:48:30,129
that we labeled her and rejected her
because we thought she was different.

1183
01:48:30,838 --> 01:48:32,256
And now...

1184
01:48:34,050 --> 01:48:37,803
the job of judging this shy
and rejected young woman

1185
01:48:37,887 --> 01:48:40,473
has fallen on your shoulders.

1186
01:48:40,556 --> 01:48:45,978
But you must base your judgment
on the facts presented in this courtroom,

1187
01:48:46,062 --> 01:48:52,151
and not on the rumors and feelings
from the past 25 years.

1188
01:48:52,235 --> 01:48:55,154
Miss Clark has a solid alibi.

1189
01:48:55,238 --> 01:48:58,574
She was in Greenville
the night Chase Andrews died.

1190
01:48:58,658 --> 01:49:03,621
And what facts,
exactly, stand against her?

1191
01:49:05,331 --> 01:49:10,294
The State has not proven
that this incident was indeed a murder,

1192
01:49:10,378 --> 01:49:13,464
and not just some tragic accident.

1193
01:49:14,507 --> 01:49:18,177
The State wants you to believe
that at 11:30 at night,

1194
01:49:18,261 --> 01:49:20,805
without a single witness seeing her,

1195
01:49:20,888 --> 01:49:24,267
she caught the last bus
from Greenville to Barkley Cove,

1196
01:49:24,350 --> 01:49:26,978
and rode that bus disguised,

1197
01:49:27,061 --> 01:49:29,188
since neither of
the bus drivers that night

1198
01:49:29,272 --> 01:49:33,609
could identify her as a passenger,
all the way back to Barkley Cove.

1199
01:49:33,693 --> 01:49:37,530
And then, in less than an hour...

1200
01:49:39,156 --> 01:49:41,993
she tracks down Chase Andrews
in the middle of the night,

1201
01:49:42,076 --> 01:49:44,578
lures him to the tower, murders him,

1202
01:49:44,662 --> 01:49:46,747
wipes away all physical evidence,

1203
01:49:46,831 --> 01:49:51,711
and somehow catches
the 2:30 a.m. bus back to Greenville.

1204
01:49:51,794 --> 01:49:54,297
Again, without
a single witness seeing her.

1205
01:49:54,380 --> 01:49:57,300
And after doing all that,

1206
01:49:58,551 --> 01:50:02,054
she meets with her publishers
the next morning, unruffled.

1207
01:50:02,596 --> 01:50:04,140
Now, these are not facts.

1208
01:50:04,932 --> 01:50:07,768
These are just more of the rumors

1209
01:50:07,852 --> 01:50:13,399
and tall tales that we have been spreading
about Miss Clark her entire life.

1210
01:50:14,066 --> 01:50:18,029
I believe you will come to
a judgment based on the facts,

1211
01:50:18,112 --> 01:50:21,490
and not the gossip
that you have heard for years.

1212
01:50:22,533 --> 01:50:24,952
It's time, at last,

1213
01:50:25,911 --> 01:50:29,999
for all of us to be fair
to the Marsh Girl.

1214
01:50:32,209 --> 01:50:34,462
Maybe you should go home
and do your waiting there.

1215
01:50:34,545 --> 01:50:37,131
Six hours already.
How long do you think they'll take?

1216
01:50:37,214 --> 01:50:39,592
Well, let's hope they take
a good long while.

1217
01:50:39,675 --> 01:50:43,554
If a few jurors have doubts,
we got a chance.

1218
01:50:58,277 --> 01:51:01,655
Mr. Foreman, is it correct
that the jury has reached a verdict?

1219
01:51:02,156 --> 01:51:03,366
We have, Your Honor.

1220
01:51:17,588 --> 01:51:21,592
The defendant will please rise
for the reading of the verdict.

1221
01:51:26,597 --> 01:51:27,597
Stand up.

1222
01:51:37,566 --> 01:51:41,904
"We, the jury, find the defendant,
Catherine Danielle Clark...

1223
01:51:43,197 --> 01:51:48,702
not guilty of first-degree murder
of Mr. Chase Andrews."

1224
01:51:54,875 --> 01:51:57,253
Miss Clark, you are free to go.

1225
01:51:57,336 --> 01:52:01,257
And I apologize, on behalf of the State,
for the time that you have served.

1226
01:52:01,340 --> 01:52:03,092
This court is dismissed.

1227
01:52:07,346 --> 01:52:08,347
Thank you.

1228
01:52:14,645 --> 01:52:15,645
Come here.

1229
01:52:18,023 --> 01:52:20,776
You're okay. You're all right.

1230
01:52:22,361 --> 01:52:25,698
You just forget about this nonsense.
We're looking forward to the next book.

1231
01:52:41,005 --> 01:52:42,339
Can you take me home?

1232
01:53:30,721 --> 01:53:32,681
<i>Now I can finally admit.</i>

1233
01:53:33,807 --> 01:53:38,270
<i>All the months in isolation,
yearning to be back in the marsh,</i>

1234
01:53:38,854 --> 01:53:41,690
<i>it was knowing
how much was left to explore,</i>

1235
01:53:42,650 --> 01:53:45,110
<i>how much life to uncover in the wild,</i>

1236
01:53:45,194 --> 01:53:46,362
<i>that kept me going.</i>

1237
01:53:48,614 --> 01:53:49,865
<i>And the hope,</i>

1238
01:53:50,699 --> 01:53:52,076
<i>always that hope...</i>

1239
01:53:53,661 --> 01:53:55,621
<i>that one day I could share it...</i>

1240
01:53:57,998 --> 01:54:00,918
<i>with the only person
I had ever truly loved.</i>

1241
01:54:31,490 --> 01:54:32,575
Kya!

1242
01:54:34,118 --> 01:54:35,118
Kya.

1243
01:54:50,926 --> 01:54:51,926
Hey.

1244
01:54:52,636 --> 01:54:54,013
You know I love you, right?

1245
01:55:58,702 --> 01:55:59,702
What?

1246
01:56:00,412 --> 01:56:01,412
Will you...?

1247
01:56:01,455 --> 01:56:03,374
Sorry. I'm sorry.

1248
01:56:06,043 --> 01:56:07,211
Will you marry me?

1249
01:56:08,879 --> 01:56:10,130
I mean, do you want to?

1250
01:56:13,842 --> 01:56:15,260
Well, aren't we already?

1251
01:56:17,012 --> 01:56:18,012
Like geese?

1252
01:56:21,141 --> 01:56:22,810
I can live with that, I guess.

1253
01:56:25,479 --> 01:56:26,479
Come here.

1254
01:56:38,617 --> 01:56:40,619
Oh, here we go.

1255
01:56:40,703 --> 01:56:41,620
Hey.

1256
01:56:41,704 --> 01:56:43,747
Hey, you. Hi, there.

1257
01:56:49,795 --> 01:56:51,422
Come here, baby girl.

1258
01:56:53,424 --> 01:56:55,467
He loved you so much.

1259
01:57:05,936 --> 01:57:07,855
Kya. Look at that.

1260
01:57:07,938 --> 01:57:10,524
You see that up there?
On the elbow of that branch?

1261
01:57:12,568 --> 01:57:14,778
When's the last time we saw one of those?

1262
01:57:15,863 --> 01:57:16,864
I know.

1263
01:57:21,326 --> 01:57:24,371
This book's pretty good.
This guy's still talking about...

1264
01:57:38,469 --> 01:57:40,429
<i>I hope when it is time for me to leave,</i>

1265
01:57:40,512 --> 01:57:43,682
<i>I will go quick and easy,
without making too much noise.</i>

1266
01:58:04,620 --> 01:58:05,621
Ma!

1267
01:58:06,330 --> 01:58:07,331
Ma.

1268
01:58:12,461 --> 01:58:13,461
Ma.

1269
01:58:15,255 --> 01:58:16,255
<i>Kya?</i>

1270
01:58:16,924 --> 01:58:17,925
Kya!

1271
01:58:56,004 --> 01:58:57,714
<i>It has always been enough...</i>

1272
01:58:58,799 --> 01:59:01,426
<i>to be part of the natural
sequence of things.</i>

1273
01:59:02,845 --> 01:59:04,137
<i>Sure as the tides.</i>

1274
01:59:04,972 --> 01:59:06,348
<i>Nature my guide.</i>

1275
01:59:11,520 --> 01:59:13,105
<i>The marsh knows all about death...</i>

1276
01:59:16,024 --> 01:59:18,652
<i>and doesn't necessarily
define it as tragedy.</i>

1277
01:59:19,820 --> 01:59:21,238
<i>Certainly not a sin.</i>

1278
01:59:22,990 --> 01:59:27,035
<i>It understands that every creature
does what it must to survive.</i>

1279
01:59:29,705 --> 01:59:32,958
<i>And that sometimes, for prey to live...</i>

1280
01:59:34,084 --> 01:59:35,836
<i>its predator must die.</i>

1281
02:00:04,114 --> 02:00:05,449
<i>I am the marsh now.</i>

1282
02:00:07,534 --> 02:00:09,119
<i>I am the feather of an egret.</i>

1283
02:00:10,412 --> 02:00:13,040
<i>I am every shell washed upon the shore.</i>

1284
02:00:16,710 --> 02:00:18,086
<i>I am a firefly.</i>

1285
02:00:19,129 --> 02:00:22,591
<i>You'll see hundreds beckoning
far into the dark reaches of the marsh.</i>

1286
02:00:23,717 --> 02:00:25,761
<i>And that's where you will always find me.</i>

1287
02:00:26,970 --> 02:00:28,221
<i>Way out yonder.</i>

1288
02:00:28,931 --> 02:00:30,390
<i>Where the crawdads sing.</i>
