My name is Melinda Gordon.

I just got married,
just moved to a small town,

just opened up an antique shop.

I might be just like you.

Except from the time
that I was a little girl,

I knew that I could talk to the dead.

It's all right, honey.

Earthbound spirits,
my grandmother called them,

the ones who have not crossed over

because they have
unfinished business with the living.

And they come to me for help.

To tell you my story,
I have to tell you theirs.

So today, 25 years after
Judge Walter MerricK

tooK his oath of office,

we are here to dedicate
this courthouse in his name.

These qualities have earned him
the deep respect

which he so richly deserves.
For Judge MerricK...

So how come
I've never heard of this guy?

Maybe you need to be
on trial more often.

- You're hilarious.
- Yeah.

Fair, impartial, and open-minded,

a man of learning and Knowledge...

... who returned home and
devoted his life to our community...

You know, I've seen his name
in the paper a few times.

He gives lots of money
to local charities.

And now l"d liKe all of you
to stand with me...

... as we honour this great man.

Maybe he should give some money...

Melinda!

Stop!

Go get a doctor!

Can you see us?

He's lucky you got there in time.

He's lucky he's alive.

Look, I figured this
for a heart attack or a stroke,

but nothing showed up on the test.

Nothing will.

What did you see?

A man, maybe 40 and angry.

Very angry.

It's like he was trying
to suck the life right out of the judge.

Well, he almost succeeded.

Yeah, things are definitely
changing out there.

I heard that.

What did you feel?

It was almost like
I was being smothered, or choking.

I don't know. It's like there's more
and more spirits out there

that are dangerous,

and they have
even more power to hurt people.

Maybe even kill them.

Maybe this has been happening
all the time.

Maybe you're just seeing more now.

I don't think so.

Hey, Mr Slade.

Hey!

I was taken advantage of!

For 18 years I worked here,
and what do I get for it?

Nothing! No respect!

Look at me
when I'm talking to you, fool.

Hey, I grew up in this town!

I had a future.
I got a family. I got a son.

What, you don't think
I want to be with my family?

And he took it all away from me.

You don't deserve this, Judge Merrick!

You will never see
this dedication to your good name!

Never! Never! Never!

So why was he at the hardware store?

Mike's remodelling.
Sometimes it can stir things up.

Remember how I was saying we should
put in some new shelves in the back?

Let's not.

Listen to me!

I've lost everything.
Where's my justice?

Where's my justice, huh?
Where's my justice for me?

I'll be right back.

What...

Where's it coming from?

Here you go.

You two!

You two! You think you're friends?

Have a nice trip?

You'd get justice, wouldn't you?

You know why? 'Cause you're white!

And you, you wouldn't get nothing!
No justice for you, boy!

No justice for you!

- Justice for what?
- Excuse me?

- What's she talking about?
- I don't know.

I can help you.

Wait. Wait, don't go.

Too late to help!

For my hardware store to compete with
the big chains out on the highway,

I've got to update the store, you know?
Give it a little polish.

- Your table's ready.
- Sell some hard-to-find items.

You know, personal service...

You know, the whole deal.

So how's the construction going?
Any problems?

Here you go.

Sure. Everything costs twice as much
as my contractor said it would be.

That's not really what I meant.

I meant noises, things being moved,
cold draughts.

Things that go bump in the night?

Did anyone die there?

You know about that?

No, not really. I'm just trying to learn

everything I can about the town,
good and bad.

Yeah, it was back when my dad
had the store in 1974, '75...

Yeah, well,
one of the employees got killed.

In the store?

No, I don't think so.

Why? You think I might have
ghosts or something?

No. I just have a very morbid curiosity.

You ever notice how people
will shop like crazy in the pouring rain,

but one clap of thunder
and they scurry home like roaches?

Roaches. Nice visual.

I liked it.

And where is the rain, by the way?

It's been thundering for, like, two hours
and not a cloud in the sky.

Here, this is him.

Ely Fisher attacked
a white co-worker, Link Hofstadter,

when he insulted him.

Must have been one serious insult.

Then Link killed him,
but no charges were ever filed.

Why does that sound
backwards to me?

They were saying
there was rumblings of racism.

You think?

What? I mean,
it was almost 30 years ago.

It's hard to imagine that people
still think like that, especially here.

Did I ever tell you my vodka story?

No.

I was in this liquor store
looking for a good bottle of wine,

but they didn't have
a really good selection.

So, I'm leaving behind this
pretty blonde, and the alarm goes off.

And then the security guard
practically tackles me.

They thought you were shoplifting?

The blonde had put
a bottle of vodka under her coat.

And she didn't know
there was a sensor on it, but...

Well, I was the one that they saw.

I didn't think stuff like that
still happened, at least not in the city.

It wasn't in the city.

Melinda, it was right here
in Grandview.

You see things I don't

and vice-versa.

Yeah, but most people
in this town are not like that.

Well, I don't know all of them.

And I didn't know any of them in 1975.

What else does it say?

Ely, he had a wife and a young son.

Oh! Wait.

Wow. Judge Merrick.

Yeah, he was the prosecuting attorney.

He was also the one
who didn't file charges against Link.

So why is Ely suddenly back?

I don't think he's too happy
that Judge Merrick is being honoured.

All right. I'm ready to do the whole
scurrying roach thing myself right now.

- See you tomorrow.
- Have fun.

Okay, thanks. Bye.

No, really, go ahead and eat.

No, l"ll wait.

Lasagne.

Tastes better
when it's reheated anyway.

I'll be home in an hour.

You sound a little funny.
What's going on?

I'll explain later.

Look, the weather stinks. Do you
have to go see this judge tonight?

Yeah, I thinK I do.

Listen, do you know
anybody at the courthouse

that might know where
the Fishers moved after Ely died?

Well, that depends.

On what?

On whether or not
you really come home in an hour.

9:02. Set your watch.

Check.

Drive safe, babe.

Bye.

Stop it!

- Thank you.
- I'll check on you later.

The nurse said someone's coming
to repair the monitor.

I can stay until they get here.

Two close calls in one week.

This is getting to be a habit.

Is there anything I can do?

I think saving my life
was enough for one night.

You were at the ceremony,
weren't you?

Is there anyone
I can get in touch with for you?

No. My wife passed a few years ago.

Haven't seen my brother in years.

Now, if I die...

I'm sure there would be
a few people happy to get that call.

People you sent to jail?

Most of them still in jail.

My sentences stuck.
I was proud of that.

Ely Fisher?

Beg your pardon?

He died in 1975.
You were a prosecutor then.

1975?

Sweetie, I can barely remember
what I had for breakfast this morning

much less 30 years ago.

Look, I know that this
is gonna sound strange,

but I think you might be in danger.

Please.

The only danger I face
is my cholesterol.

And I'm getting a little tired now.

Of course.

Maybe I'll come back another time.

Mr Merrick, are you all right?

Oh, I'm all right.

Can you just... Yeah, yeah.

Your father was Ely Fisher.

He worked at the hardware store
in Grandview.

Well, who wants to know?

My name is Melinda Gordon.

How'd you get this number, lady?

- Dad, you said you'd...
- Just hold on one second, buddy.

My husband worKs for the county,

and he looKed up
some courthouse records.

Courthouse?

Yeah. I'm doing some research,

and I was wondering if we could
discuss it. I could come to Martinsville.

What do you want, lady?

- Daddy, come on.
- Look, hush, Jameel.

Walter MerricK. Do you Know him?

Yeah, I know Merrick.

He's the man who killed my mother
when I was seven.

Your mother...

I'm sorry.
I knew that your father had died.

My father didn"t just die.

My father was murdered.

I can't believe it.

I lose my father, my mother,

and Judge Merrick
gets a building named after him.

What am I saying?
Of course I can believe it.

You said he killed your mother. How?

Do I know you, or what you want?

Why should I tell you anything?

You came here, didn't you?

I came to visit my Aunt Rose.

Well, I think there's more to the story
than what's in the newspaper.

A white man
killed my father and got away with it.

That's the story.

Come on, Dad. Let's go.

Look, I'm sorry, okay?
I didn't mean to...

To upset you or your dad.

I just want to help both of you.

Help? How are you gonna help him?

Come here.

Look, see that store right there?

That's where your granddaddy worked.

See that alley down there?

That's where he died.

Your grandfather worked
in that hardware store for 18 years.

And then Mr Slade hired
that punk Link Hofstadter.

I won't be treated this way,
not by any man.

Ely. Ely, wait. It's the only fair way.

With all due respect, Mr Slade.

I've come to work on time for 18 years.
Never took one sick day.

And you're gonna start him at a
dollar more an hour than you pay me?

How is that fair?

You think I'd work for less
than some coloured man?

His father, I owe him a favour.

Oh, yeah, I know.

Everybody around here
owes the Hofstadters a favour.

And this one can't tell the difference

between a lamp shade
and a light socket.

Hey! You watch your mouth, boy!

And that night...

That night, Link waited on him,

jumped him and killed him
in cold blood.

Dad, my hand.

Link said that it was self-defence.

And the newspapers, they said...

The Hofstadters own the newspapers.

And they own half the mortgages
on the properties in Grandview.

But there were no witnesses.

I heard there was a witness,

and the Hofstadters paid them off,
whoever they were.

Is there any proof?

That's just what Merrick said.

The man whose name
is on that plaque back there.

Go away. Get lost.

I was about the same age as Jameel.

And my mother couldn't believe that
Merrick was not gonna press charges.

My mother wasn"t gonna just let it go.

She wanted justice.

But Judge MerricK told her
that there were no witnesses

and that it was
LinK"s word against hers.

But she Knew.

Your husband threatened to kill Link.

There was a witness!

She Knew my father
would never hurt anyone.

That's just a rumour.
It was self-defence.

At least put it in front of a grand jury.
Let them decide.

My mother died that day.

They said it was a heart attacK.
And I guess they were right.

"Cause her heart broKe that day.

That's a horrible thing
for a seven-year-old to see.

Do you think I want your sympathy?

Do you know what became of Link?

Yeah, I kept track of that bastard.

He got sick
a couple of years ago and died,

in the comfort of his home,

surrounded by his wife and kids.

Get out of here!

Come on!

You know what's weird?
Ely never showed himself today.

Maybe he's all gone now.

That's what I love about you.
Forever an optimist.

No, it was more like
standing on that square,

you could see Ely's anger
on his son's face.

They make the same expressions
when they're mad,

which is all the time.

Well, the man's father was killed,
probably in a hate crime.

Nothing was done.

That would pretty much
make me mad all the time.

Yeah, I get it. I do. It's just...

So sad to see such an angry little boy,

that hatred passed on
from father to son.

That's the way of the worid, my love.

Always has been.

You know, maybe if I get them together,

you know, the judge
could tell Randall what happened

and break the cycle.

You're right.

And then you could get started
on that pesky little Gaza Strip thing.

All right, I'm serious.

There's a reason that I am pulled into
these people's lives.

I know, I know.

But some things
are beyond your help, anybody's help.

And some people, all they wanna do is
hold on to their hatred.

Well, I won't know unless I try.

Wait. You mean now?

Yeah. I can't sleep anyway.

I'm coming with you.

No. You might scare him off.

Oh, look, this does not
sound like a guy who scares easy.

Please? There's nothing you can do.

Wait. What are you saying?

I'm supposed to wait here
while you go out in this weather

looking for this... Whatever he is?

No. Don't wait.
Get some rest. I'll be home soon.

Who are you?

What do you want?
What have I done to you?

I know what happened to you,
to your wife and your son.

What about my son?

He's in pain.

He is filled with hatred.

He should be.

No, you're wrong.
It's gonna ruin his life.

Look, I can help you talk to the judge...

I'll talk to him when he's dead like me,
and that's what I'll make him,

before he ever gets a chance to see
that dedication to his good name.

Don't do this. There's a better way.

I'm taking him!

You better stand back,
or I may have to take you, too.

There are people over here
who are very interested in you.

Hey, it's okay. It's okay.

Don't be mad.

I'm not.

I spent a lot of time on that case.

Interviewed dozens of people.

I was a brand-new prosecutor,

and I wanted to make my bones.

The Hofstadters were very powerful.

Is that why you decided
not to prosecute?

No!

If ambition were my only concern,

a murder trial would have been
the best way

to get my name in the papers.

Everything isn't in black and white.

Interesting choice of words.

No, I knew Link Hofstadter.

I knew his family.
He was a fine young man.

You want to know
what really happened that night?

I come to work on time for 18 years,
damn you,

took crap from customers
who let me carry

their refrigerator to the damn door

and they got nervous
when I took it inside.

Customers who made me put
their change on the counter

so we wouldn't
accidentally touch hands.

But I took it. Oh, I smiled.

I said "Thank you,"
and you're paying him

a dollar more an hour
than you pay me?

His father, I owe him a favour.

A dollar more!

And this meathead
can't tell the difference

between a lamp shade
and a light socket.

I'd watch your mouth, boy.

Don't you ever call me "boy",
you dumbass cracker.

- Stop it!
- Call me boy again, you're dead.

That's enough. We're okay.

I won't have this. Not in my store.

One more fight, I fire you both.

That night, Ely waited for him.

Ely could taKe care of himself.

He was good with his fists.

Hey, boy,

I got something for you.

Come on. Come on, cracker.

Show me what you got.

Come on.

Come on! Come on, cracker.
Come on, show me what you got.

I'm not losing my job over you.

Come on.

Come on, boy.

Come on, boy.

Come on.

It was a case of self-defence.

How do you Know that?
You weren"t even there.

I took statements

from the people who saw
the two of them arguing in the street.

The medical reports
backed up everything Link said.

I came to this very hospital
to question him that night.

He had two broken ribs,

and he needed 19 stitches
to close up his cheek.

And Ely?

The blow to his head
killed him instantly.

Link was all torn up about it.

I doubt he ever forgave himself.

There were rumours about a witness.

Oh, I know about the rumours

and they were never
substantiated. Not one.

Why are you digging all this up?
Why now?

Ely's family feels like
there was an injustice done.

Well, I'm sure they do.

It was a tragedy from every side.

But you can't bring
criminal charges against a man,

ruin his good name,
maybe taint him for life,

for defending himself.

Daddy, why are you crying?

Look, I'm not crying.

It's just the wind.
It blew something in my eye.

It's real windy in the square.

Then why are we sitting here so long?

Maybe...

I don't know.

Makes me feel closer to my dad.

I feel a little mixed up.

Come on, let's go.

But, Daddy, you told me never to cry.

Yeah, that's right.

Don't you ever let
anybody make you cry.

You only trust your own kind.

That's how you stay strong.

That's how you stay ready.

Ready for what?

Ready for places like this.

He looks just like in the pictures.

Who?

Who are you talking about, Jameel?

Grandpa.

Come on, let's go.

But, Dad, he's standing right there.
I swear.

You know, I think I'm getting
carpal tunnel syndrome.

No way, our insurance doesn't...

The boy, he could see me.

Lots of kids can see spirits.

Are you talking to me?

Okay, should I get ready

to run screaming from the store?

I'll get back to you on that one.

- How come he can see me?
- I don't really know.

They usually grow out of it by the time
they're eight or nine,

when they realise they're not
supposed to be seeing them.

Your grandson's seven, I think.

So why didn't you talk to him?

I don't know what to say.

Yes, you do.

Wait, hey... Hey... Oh, no. Are you
gonna leave me here alone with the...

All right.

I'll be in the back if...

If you need me.

Hi.

There's something
I need to show you in my store.

- Where are we going, Daddy?
- Don't worry about it.

- What's your name?
- Jameel. Jameel Fisher.

Second grade.

Who's he talking to?

What's going on here?

The other night when I called,

it's because I had seen your father.

What're you talking about?
My father's dead.

Your dad, he can't see me, can he?

No, just me and the lady.

What are you, some kind of grifter?

What, are you gonna tell me
my future next?

Look, I have this gift.

Do you still live here?

No, but I did.

All my life.

I was born in the same house
your Aunt Rose lives in now.

Hey, wait a minute,
you were born in a house?

What?

Back then, lots of people were.
Couldn't afford hospitals.

Granddaddy was born in a house,
not a hospital.

They were too poor.

- How are you doing this?
- I'm not.

Me and your Aunt Rose,

we slept in a dresser drawer
when we were babies.

And then Celia came along,
and they finally bought a crib.

Who's Celia?

Celia.

She passed when she was
just a little thing.

She drowned down in a pond.

I was supposed to be watching her.

Daddy, is that why you won't
let me go swimming unless you watch?

'Cause Granddaddy
wasn't watching Celia?

All right, what is this?

Only me and my family
knows that story.

Your father knows.

My father.

He's here.

He is, Daddy.

All right,

if Granddad's here,

ask him what happened that night.

It's not like what Link Hofstadter said.

He came out of the bar,
and I could smell the alcohol on him.

Hey, Sambo.

Come here. I got something for you.

Mr Hofstadter, I didn't mean nothing

about what I said at the store today.

Come on, boy,
show me some of your sass now!

No, I'm not losing my job over you.

I heard his ribs crack.

But he wasn't gonna let me win.

What would he tell
his redneck friends?

It wasn't like Link said.

I was just going to get some milk
for your daddy's breakfast.

My daddy gives me milk
for my breakfast, too.

He wasn't looking for a fight.

That's what my mom said.

Nobody would listen.

She cried and she cried.

She couldn't work.

She lost her job.

I just wanted to find a way
to make them pay,

Link and that prosecutor.

He wanted to punish Link and Merrick.

Well, wait.

If he's still here,

after all this time,

how come he didn't talk to me?

I was the same age
as Jameel is right now.

Didn't know I could.

I was just trying to make them pay.

You know what it would've meant, Pop,
if I could just see you?

To just know that you were there?

Teach me the things that
a father is supposed to teach his son.

It's not like that, Randall.

He just didn't know that he could.

What about Mom?

Where were you when she died?

And where is she?

Tell him I was there that day.

Rachel saw this light,

she wanted me to come with her,

but I couldn't, I just couldn't.

Your mother crossed over.

And your father couldn't
because he was too angry.

Well, I know all about the anger.

All right? 'Cause that's all he left me.

What good has he done, huh?

Wait!

Back there you asked me where he was

when you needed him
to teach you the things

fathers teach their sons.

There are some things
you need to teach your son.

Maybe even some things
you need to teach your father.

Yeah, well, my father's gone.

Either you're working some scam,

or you... You're just plain crazy.

I'm not and you know it.

She's not, Daddy.

Please, come with me
to see Judge Merrick.

- And do what?
- Lay this to rest.

Come in.

She your boss?

She's my partner.

You're partners with a white lady?

Well, she's also my friend, Jameel.

She's my best friend.

My dad says that people wouldn't fight
if they stuck with their own kind.

Well, your dad's a pretty smart guy.

You know what my kind is?

Here.

People who are respectful of others,

people who are intelligent, kind, funny,

nice to kids, people like Melinda.

- She's funny?
- Oh, she's so funny.

See, that's the thing
about people, Jameel.

You don't know who they are
just by looking at them.

You have to get to know them.

But your dad is absolutely right.

Once you find out
that someone's your kind,

you stick with them.

You owe me.

Can I do anything for you?

Rain check.

Yeah, I remember, but not now, okay?

It's your turn to help me.

And it's gotta be now.

Why?

Because I was working here

the night they brought
Link Hofstadter in.

I waited two hours
for that son of a bitch.

I was just gonna throw him a beating.

You know, show him
how he has to treat a white man.

You're the witness.

He told me everything.

Well...

This is a nice send off.

They're letting me out on parole.

I suggested they sentence me
to community service, but...

I'm sorry, do I know you?

This is Randall Fisher, Ely's son.

The two of you will have to excuse me.
I've gotta get dressed.

There was a witness, wasn't there?

A nurse, who came to you.

Look, I don't know what you're
talking about. I'm going home now.

Hey, I wasn't gonna end him.

Maybe he shouldn't have
raised his hands to me.

You know, he should've just taken
what he had coming.

Maybe then I would've left him alive.

Hey, come here.

We have to keep this place safe

for our kind.

But that's not it, is it?

The ER nurse came to you
and told you what Link had said to her

Mr Merrick,

I'm the nurse who called you.

Link told me everything.

I talked to Link, too. He was drunk.

He doesn't want people
to think he got jumped by a black man

in an alley
and he didn't defend himself.

That's not the story.

Well, it's a case I can't win.
So the case is closed.

The next day there was $5,000
in my checking account.

The Hofstadters put $5,000
into her checking account.

What?

I didn't know, I swear.
She never told me.

Well, she tried to tell you once

but you told her
that the case was closed.

But if I'd known they paid her...

Well, you should've looked again.

But you wanted to look away.

How do you know all of this, anyway?

How do I know you didn't just invent it?

It's the truth,
and you can check the bank records

if you don't believe me,

but the easier way,
is just to do nothing.

This was a stupid argument
that got out of hand.

It was an argument
over a dollar an hour.

This had nothing to do
with a dollar an hour.

Or a seat on a bus, or a water fountain.

This is about something bigger
and you know it.

I didn't know about the money.

Well, you do now.

I just didn't believe
he could've done something like this.

We know what you believe,
Judge, then and now,

and we both know
why you looked away, don't we?

Walter MerricK was not only a judge

at this courthouse for 25 years,

he was instrumental
in restoring Grandview

to the town many of us grew up in.

The storm has passed,
he"s healthy and strong as ever.

Judge Walter MerricK.

ThanK you very much.

L"ve been recognised
as many things in this town.

A tough but fair-minded judge,

a deacon of my church,

and a good husband.

The one thing I was not Known as

is a racist.

30 years ago,

a blacK man, Ely Fisher,
was Killed right in this square.

The plain truth is, I assumed
Ely Fisher was the guilty one.

I made a judgement call
that was callous

and bigoted.

It would be easy to say
it was 30 years ago,

but the truth is

that I was that same man
until yesterday.

Despite great progress in this country,

racism is still very much alive.

It can be subtle,

handed down from
generation to generation.

This tragedy is my shame.

My debt.

But if it becomes a reason to change

for even one of you,
or one of your children,

Ely Fisher"s death will have
gained new meaning.

So later today,
I will officially recommend

that this plaque be removed

and that a new one replace it,

one that dedicates this courthouse

to Ely Fisher.

Hey, there's Grandpa.

Where did Grandpa go?

ThanK you all for coming,
and enjoy the festivities.

- Is he gone for good?
- I don't know.

Ely.

Grandpa, Daddy needs to talk to you.

I'm right here.

He's here.

Ask him how he feels.

I hardly know.

I'm glad the right thing was done,

but it don't change much.

I thought I'd feel happy, like I won.

I don't think anyone won.

He's glad that the truth came out,

but it didn't change much.

It does, Pop.

I thought staying mad
all that time really gave me something.

Something to stay here for.
Something to keep me going.

But it took a lot away, too.

From me, from you, even Jameel.

And that's gotta stop.

I'm not mad, Grandpa.

That's good, little man.

And you make sure your pop
doesn't stay mad either.

You tell him
that he can let go of this now.

He's got a clean slate.

And so do I.

I see it.

That light.

I guess it's time.

You're ready.

Time for what, Grandpa?

To see your Grandma Rachel
and your Aunt Celia.

Can I meet them?

No. Not quite yet.

He looks like his mother.

That's a good thing, too.

He's glad that
you look like your mother.

I thought

that it would hurt too much

if I knew you.

Or if I remembered you too well.

But you left such a big hole.

Tell him he grew up strong,

and I'm proud of him for that.

But he's gotta grow up soft now.

He's gotta teach his son to be both.

Tell him I say goodbye.

I will.

Ely, wait.

Before, you said that there are people

who are interested in me.

Who, and why me?

I was mad, I didn't mean to scare you.

What did you mean?

I don't know. I'm not sure.

There's a lot I don't understand.

They know about you.

And not everybody is happy
about what you do.
