All language subtitles for Gingerbread Man.1998

Life sentence if found guilty...

defense attorney rick magruder argued

That police posing as drug
merchants were overzealous...

We've also got tropical storm geraldo

Milling around out in the atlantic...

Winds are 85 miles per hour...

It's what we've been saying all along.

Rick, how did you end up triumphing in this case?

This is about proving that
no one is above the law,

Not even the law enforcement
officers themselves.

This is the latest from
the national hurricane center.

It is moving to the northeast...

7.35 degrees west, but look at this...

but look at this...

From jacksonville all the way up to cape hatteras,

But it looks like national
hurricane center...

later as this hurricane continues...

Come on! I don't give a damn what you come at us with.

12 of florida's finest just
let him walk in criminal.

You think civil's
gonna work differently?

You move it uptown it will,

Where the jury
will use some logic.

When you geniuses at d. A. Gonna learn

That logic runs a distant second
to god, country, and color?

We intend to invoke all 3.

And that's why I vacation in the Canary Islands

And you guys get your news
from the bottom of a bird cage.

You took a 20-Year vet

And kicked the living daylights
out of him.

He blew procedure. Lied on
the stand, suppressed evidence.

Come on, terry.
I'm a big supporter of cops,

But there's only one set of
rules if you read them or not.

What about morality?

Morality in law?

Who told you that,
the great lawyer fairy?

My job is to protect my client.

I don't know about you
or the cops or anybody else,

But i'm making like hank snow
and moving on.

If you want to push for civil,

You go ahead,
i'll see you in court.

Defense attorney rick
magruder argued that police

Posing as drug merchants
were overzealous...

I told y'all not to
leave those on the sofa.

Is the phone in here?

We're watching dad on tv.

Hello?

Hey, betty, it's mr. Magruder.

How are the kids?

They're fine.
I'm about to fix...

Oh, my gosh,
you're on the tv.

I must have done
pretty well today.

Is leeanne around?

No. Mr. Alden came by
and picked her up.

Mr. Alden, huh?

Hey, kids, your daddy's
on the phone.

Hi, dad.

Hey, how you doin',
darlin'?

Ok. One of the guys on tv said
you were a snake oil salesman,

And I told jeff you couldn't be
'cause you're still a lawyer.

You're right, honey.

You don't believe
everything you see on tv.

I guess not.
I told you, jeff.

Daddy said so.
He's still a lawyer.

You're not fooling me.
Dad's still on tv.

You guys quit fighting.

Listen, I love you both and
i'll see you tomorrow, ok?

Bye, dad.

Yeah, bye, honey.

Dunson, hess, and magruder.

Konnie, it's rick.
Put me through to lois?

Yes, mr. Magruder.
One second, please.

Lois, it's rick.

Well, if it isn't
the golden boy.

Hello.

I just caught a glimpse
of you on the 6:00.

Didn't I tell you
not to wear that tie?

I like that tie.
It's good luck.

Are you coming
by the office?

You read my mind.

How's a nice quiet dinner
at the pink house sound?

Ricky, i'd love to, but
we're just swamped here.

But swing on by. We'll grab
something a little later.

I'll come by, lo.

All right.

Shh shh shh!

Are we ever gonna
fix this door?

Congratulations,
rick.

Oh, what is this?

Is this you?

I'm sorry. I was
dying to tell you,

But the boys
made me swear.

Congratulations.

Let me take your stuff.

Is this all for me?

I don't drink
champagne.

I've got yours.

You are a psychic.

Congratulations.

What are you doing here?

Real good to see you here.
I appreciate it.

Who are all these people?
Do I know all these people?

Well, look who's here.

You didn't wear
that costume.

I knew you were going
to mention this suit.

It worked.

I want to tell you

That you did a superb job
in jacksonville.

This is the first time
a savannah lawyer's

Won a case down there
in 10 years.

10 years? Judge winslow
sends his regards.

What is that?

Hey, Lois.

You put this girl
up to this?

Lois, this is his night now.

I know. We're going
to take care of him.

Enjoy.

Thank you for this.

This is a big surprise.

You doin' all right?

Do we have to do this?

Yes.

There's still a table
at the pink house.

Oh, boy.

I wanted to warn you.

Why is she here?

I'll talk to her.
I'll see you later.

Thanks.

Hey, leeanne.

Congratulations, rick.

Got a little lipstick
there.

Thank you. Hey, carl.

I thought I recognized
that lincoln.

Yes, she is
a beauty, isn't she?

Didn't spoil the surprise,
but the license gives it away.

That's clever. You're an
attorney and it says attorney.

Works every time.

Everyone's very happy
for you.

I know how hard
you worked this case.

We got lucky.
We had a good run.

Marvelous knack
of making the cops

Look absolutely
rotten, i'd say.

No matter what side
of the law you're on,

You got to play
by the rules.

That's exactly what you
told the jury, wasn't it?

We lay out the evidence,
let them do the right thing.

So, why didn't they?

I'll get us
a couple of drinks.

I'd love another bacardi
and cranberry.

Thanks, honey.

Yeah, thanks, honey.

Aw, don't thank me.

So, I thought you'd
given up on attorneys.

Well, everyone's
got their thing.

Is that what it is?

What do you call someone
who's addicted to attorneys?

Stupid?

At least he's a divorce lawyer
and not a criminal...

Don't start.

That he happened to be
your divorce lawyer

Is a little shitty,
don't you think?

What is this about?

You want to go through
with this?

Tomorrow, what time
for the kids?

It's always 9:30.

Why don't
we make it 9:30?

Do me a favor.
Try and be on time, rick.

Carl?

Can I get another drink?

Jack straight up?

What am I going to do?
Did you see that jerk?

J.D. Straight up,
please.

Oh, boy.

How she picked him,
i do not know.

I try so hard.
I really do.

Just try and remember
what the carrot is here.

Fuck the carrot. I have
to put up with his crap.

If you lose it now...

i know,
you're right, carl.

If you lose it now, it's
going to cost you later.

He just has this way
of pissing me off.

I understand.

Where'd you park
the damn car anyway?

One step, 2 steps...

what color was it
anyway?

It's green.

Do you know what a fabulously
attractive woman you are?

Why don't we leave here
and go have some dinner?

It's the booze, rick.

It makes you itch,
remember?

Well, we can scratch.

You know better.

If you don't, I do.

That's what you pay me
for... Good judgment.

Well, I got the kids tomorrow,
but i'll call in, so...

one nightcap?
Something medicinal?

I'll fix you one,

But I still got an hour
or 2 of catch-Up.

Yeah.

Hey!

God damn it! That's
my car, asshole!

Jesus! Shit!

Something wrong?

Son of a bitch just
stole my fucking car!

Just now?

Yeah, just now!
Didn't you see?

If it was stolen, we
should call the police.

Why?

So they can make out
some goddamn report

And tell me to call
my insurance company,

Which I don't have
because I can't afford it,

And they aren't gonna
do a darn thing anyway.

No, thanks. I've been
through this shit before.

Is there anything
i can do?

Find me a new life.

I'm just gonna walk to
a phone booth so I can call...

I've got a phone
in the car.

Of course you do.

Miss, i'm on my way.
I could give you a ride.

No, thanks.
I just need a cab.

This time of night,
this weather,

You're gonna
wait around forever.

Where do you live?

Across town.

I don't mind, really.

I'm just wired from today,
so I could use the drive.

But, you know, whatever.

I'll... I'll
give you a ride.

It's up here?

It's down this road
about...

i don't know, 3 lights,

And then you turn
right on victory,

And it's a couple
of miles out of town.

You like your job?

It wasn't a lifelong ambition,
if that's what you're asking.

I was just wondering.

Pays the rent.

Any news about geraldo?

The tv guy?

The storm.

I had other things
on my mind.

Just wondered
whether it was coming in.

It's funny. Sometimes you
get so wrapped up in a case

You forget
other things exist.

Like what?

Like storms.

Ok, right at the end of
the street, you turn right.

Turn right.

Right here.

Down the street?

No. First house on
the right-Hand side.

All right.

Well, there you go.

What is it?

That's my car.

The one
that was stolen?

Maybe it wasn't stolen.

What do you mean?
You got a roommate?

No, I live alone.
Thanks again for the ride.

What do you mean?

You forget to lock it?

You want me to come in?

For what? I'm fine.

Why don't I come in?

Hello?

This is very unusual.

Another tropical depression
has developed

Out in the atlantic ocean...

are these
your car keys?

Anybody home?

Hello?

So, what did
i walk into here?

A jealous boyfriend?
Ex-Husband? Current husband?

None of the above?

My daddy.

Your daddy stole your car?
Broke into your house?

Any particular reason?

He's just not well.

What's wrong with him?

I didn't say there's
anything wrong with him.

He just does
weird shit sometimes.

How long has this
been going on?

Hey, you know what?

You went out of your way,
you gave me a ride,

That was swell, but I don't
want to talk about this.

I think you should.
What is it he's doing?

He follows me.

You mean he stalks you?

Oh, is that
the legal word?

Yes.
That's what he does.

Why?

I don't know.
He's in this group.

It's not religious.

They don't believe the
world's coming to an end,

But they just
got some strange ideas.

I may be out of line here, but
this isn't rational behavior.

You got to have
somebody talk to him.

You sound like
everybody else in town.

Acting like it's
so easy. He's my daddy.

I'm not saying it's easy.
These things escalate

Which can
become dangerous,

And you can
make him get help.

What do you mean?

If he's dangerous
to himself or you,

The state can force him
to get checked out.

There's no money
for anything like that!

There doesn't
have to be money.

You have
an evaluation period.

If he needs care,
the court can order it.

The court didn't
do shit for me!

They can get him
on lithium, prozac.

Maybe that's all he
needs to get better.

He ain't gonna
get better!

my daddy
ain't gonna get better.

I'm sorry.

L... I didn't mean
to upset you.

it's all right.
It's all right.

Am I in your spot?

Oh, jesus!

Come on, leeanne.
I didn't forget. I'm sorry.

I was not out screwing around.
I had a meeting.

Why do you always assume...

I'll be with you in 20...
In 15 minutes.

Yeah, i'm coming.

Dad!

Dad,
you're late! Again!

I'm sorry, darlin'.

How are you?

I'm sorry, jeff.

In we go.
Squeeze up.

Here we go.

You look like shit.
Leeanne...

Forgot to shave.

Don't start.

Same shirt you had on
last night, isn't it?

We're good to go.
Say good-Bye to your mom.

Bye, mom.

I love you both.

I won't let go!

Now, listen, you guys,

If I let go of your hands,
are you gonna behave?

Maybe.

Yes, you are.

You want anything?

Hey, listen!

You want one
of these wheel things?

Pinwheels!

Ok, you choose one.

Can I have one of these?
I'll have 2.

Guys, look at this.
What is this?

Can we get over here?

Look at this guy.
He is something else.

Look at this.

Yeah? Yeah,
put him on.

What did I do, just step
off the banana boat?

You want to go
see the pets?

Yeah!

Ok, let's go
see the pets.

It's not even in the ballpark.

Oh, get out of here!

You guys land back on earth,
you give me a call.

Yeah? And thank you.

Callin' your psychic hotline
on that cell phone?

Libby? Jeff?

Mr. Father
knows best...

Libby? Excuse me.

I thought
i lost you guys.

He's
starting again.

Where's
his benadryl?

It's the cats.
Mom's got it.

I thought you weren't
supposed to play with cats.

Let me just...

i was just
petting him.

I tried to warn him, but
no one ever listens to me.

I know that, honey.

I guess we shouldn't tell
your mom about this cat stuff.

Why?

Well, we don't
want to upset her.

Well, I don't
like to lie.

You don't have to lie,
but jeff's still sneezing.

So?

Get me out of here.

Dad!
Undo it.

Out you come.

Hey, i'm real sorry
i was late.

I love you.

I love you, too.
Hey, mom, jeff's sneezing

'Cause daddy took us
to the pet booth.

Make sure you take your benadryl.

For god's sakes, rick.

What?

How many times do I have
to warn you about pet shops?

Leeanne, they
were just there.

At least keep him away
from the cats!

What do you want me to do,
keep him on a leash?

Keep yourself on a leash.

What?
Look at you.

I can smell her on you.

I can smell something
on you, leeanne.

Good morning,
cassandra.

Good afternoon.

I knew that.
Hi, konnie.

Mr. Whitaker called.
Mr. Howard rang again.

He wants a response
on the jensens' case.

And judge russo
won't give up about golf.

Tell howard I haven't
heard anything yet,

And we should make
russo sweat a little.

And if I could have some...

what? What?

Coffee. Same shirt?

I didn't notice.

I'd like to say we've
seen all we're going to,

But that's not the case.

The stationary front
stays right on top of us.

Hi. Thought you might
be a little hungry.

Oh, yeah.

Heck of a lot of food
left over from last night.

Oh, and phillip wants to talk
to you when you get a chance.

Ok.

Ugh.

Caviar house.

Yeah.

You catered
a party last night

For dunson, hess,
and magruder.

And, um...

one of the caterers
left a jacket,

And I just want
to get it back to her.

Sure.
Do you have a name?

No, I don't have a name.

She... She was a girl,
uh...

about 5'7", brunette,
and, um...

we have a lot of people
coming in and out.

I didn't manage last night.
Jerry did. He's back tomorrow.

Ahem. Yeah, well,
i agree.

I'm right behind you
on this one,

And I agree also

That I don't think this case
should ever get to trial.

I think we can
achieve that for you,

And i... I really
appreciate your call.

Thank you.

You didn't even
get her name.

What?

I'm simply curious.

You just keep
propositioning people

Until somebody says yes?

Aw, come on, lois.

Or was this just another
in your regular rotation

Of girls who have trouble
with too many syllables?

Well, how many syllables
do you need?

Could you sign this
for me?

Mmm.

By the end
of the day.

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you, lois.

You're welcome.

Konnie, any calls,

I'll be back
in one hour.

What about...

I'll call later.

Lois, i'm so sorry
for the delay on this.

You all have
a nice day.

Hello!

Anybody home?

Hello!

Anybody home?

Hello? Anybody home?

Jesus!

Hey, konnie,
this is rick.

I want you to get ahold
of clyde,

Tell him to meet me
at the office.

I'll explain it to him
when he gets there. Ok.

Hey, cassandra.

Where's konnie?

I think she's in
with lois.

Has clyde pell
shown up?

No, I have not
seen him, sir.

Cassandra, you want to
put your legs away,

Maybe try answering
the phone?

That's why you're here.

Hey, konnie,
where's clyde pell?

I thought I told you to get
clyde pell here right now.

I did.

So where is he?

She's been
waiting for you.

I had to see you.

I've been to the house.
I saw what he did.

Everything's
gonna be all right.

Can I get you
anything, sir?

Ask lois to step
in the office.

Clyde shows up,
you bring him right in.

Son of a bitch.

Hey, hey...

i liked that cat.

I came home from work
this afternoon

And found him.

I know, I know.

I'm scared.

There's no smoking
in here, right?

Mr. Pell. Mr. Magruder's
waiting for you.

Hi. How you doing,
sweet cheeks?

I'm great. Thanks.

You look fine today.

Thank you.

Tell him i'm here.

Please don't play
with my phone. Go on in.

I won't play with your phone
if you won't play with my...

Hey, remember me?
Private dick.

Don't be touching me
like that. He's waiting.

All right I won't.
Ok, ok.

I called you about
half an hour ago.

My pager's
on the fritz.

Hey, rick.

Hey, clyde.

Hey, thanks for coming
on such short notice.

No problem.

Clyde pell this is,
uh...

doss. Mallory doss.

You two know
each other?

No, not exactly.

What does that mean?
You know her or not?

Maybe she don't
remember me.

I investigated her father
a couple years back.

Shoeless joe
they called him.

Well, for what?

I worked for bauer
and lewis at the d. A.

For some tax case.

Some fringe group applied
for religious exemption,

And old joe found himself

Up shit's creek without
a paddle.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Come on in, lois.
Uh, you know clyde.

This is, uh,
mallory doss.

This is lois harlan,
one of my associates.

Hello.

Hi.

Didn't you waitress
the party last night?

That's right.

You want to
sit on down, lois?

You should hear this.

Mallory, why not tell
miss harlan and mr. Pell

Just what's been
happening.

Well, my...

my daddy's always been
a bit different.

He dresses real strange,

And he don't wear
any shoes,

And he doesn't get along
with many people,

Just lately things
have gotten real bad.

He's threatened her.
Stalking. Break-Ins.

He stole my car
a couple of times.

And then I come home
this afternoon,

And my cat...

he strung up
her cat.

Wow. No offense, ma'am.

It appears to me your dad's
a few beers shy of a 6-Pack.

Well, we should maybe
ask some questions,

Uh, just to help
this woman out.

You have
any other family?

No. Mama died
8 years ago.

Any brothers or sisters?

No.

Any of your father's family living?

Not that I know of.

Does your father
have an attorney

Or is there someone
who handles his affairs?

No, daddy hates
attorneys.

He had one
a few years back,

But he went nuts.

He jumped
out a window.

Well, there's one
with a conscience.

Well, uh...

we're gonna need
somebody.

We need somebody

Who can corroborate
your father's behavior.

You know, confirm
he's been doing this.

I don't know.

Pete, maybe.

Pete?

Peter randle.

My ex-Husband.

Daddy put him
in the hospital once.

Well, why is that?

Because he drank out
of daddy's favorite cup.

Well, we'll need him
to testify

As to your father's
behavior.

It's gonna go a long way
when we get into court.

I don't know
about that.

We're not friends
exactly.

Last time we spoke,

He swore he wouldn't
spare a drop of piss

If I was burning
to death.

We'll talk to him.

I think it'd be
a real good idea,

If you left your house

While all of this
was going on.

I don't have
any of my things.

Clyde will drive you home,
wait while you get them.

Then he'll take you over
to the bayshore.

It's a nice place.
Real quiet.

Who's gonna pay
for that?

We'll take care
of this.

Talk about it later,
lois.

So you give clyde
some addresses

On your father
and your ex-Husband,

Maybe phone numbers
that will help us,

And then i'll fill
in lois on the rest,

And she'll be
in touch with you.

I thought you were gonna
handle this.

Yes. Lois is just
going to help out.

It'll be ok.
I promise.

Clyde,
you want to...

yep.

Yeah.

Yeah, you come on
with me.

Get her to the bayshore.

Ok. Come on.

I was under the impression

That our firm didn't handle
these kinds of cases.

Cases where people
need help?

You ask me, it looks like
she can help herself.

A few others, too.

What's that supposed
to mean, lois?

Nothing, mac.

It's just
you don't know her.

There may be
something else.

There's no other reason.
There's no money in this.

She just wants her father
to get better.

We'll have it done
in a week.

Before I go putting
her old man away,

I'd make sure
it's because he's nuts.

You don't want this,
i can take care of it.

I'll handle it, mac.

Just make sure you know
which end you're thinking with.

Hello?

Hey, diane.

It's rick magruder
for judge russo.

Hi, darling.
How are you?

I'm good, thank you.

Hold on just one second.
I'll get him for you.

Roy russo.

Hey, roy.
What's the word?

Rick, you gotta give me
another shot now.

Yeah, i'll give you
another shot.

You just lost your swing.
You'll get it back.

So what can I do
for you, my friend?

If I sent over a subpoena
and commitment order

You mind giving it
a quick glance?

What's the story?

Nothing earth-Shattering.

Just some, uh...

some nutty old man.

Hey, fella!

His old lady kicked it

Left him
a few thousand acres

Of unimproved land.

There's nothing there,
right?

'Bought enough to cover
your dry-Cleaning bill.

You seen
my dry-Cleaning bill?

That's right, giorgio.

But remember
you saw the house?

Yeah, I saw it.

Nothing. Land's got
a couple cabins on it,

But no water, no roads.
Nothing that adds up.

It ain't even
near anything.

Tax rolls say it's...

there.

Somewhere around
$13 an acre.

Yep.

Speaking of dollars...

what? What, what, what?

Well, how's she making
her retainer?

Where's the captain,
buddy?

He's right up there
in the lever room.

Stuart, it's clear.

You can swing
to the north side.

Stuarttoraoul.
We're swinging.

Hey, tough guy.

That one's called ike.

Yeah, he looks
like a general.

No, not that one.
Ike like ike and tina.

Well, either way,

It's looks like he's been
through a few wars.

They gotta have 9 lives
on this rig, don't they?

Yeah.

Hell, if the machinery
don't get 'em,

Gear box usually does.

Suck a 200-Pound man down,
grind him into cheeseburger,

Least of all
one of these cats.

I'm looking for the captain.
Peter randle.

Yeah, that'd be me.

You don't want
that shit on your hands.

Capitano, busboy,
receptionist.

You from georgia
ports authority?

No. My name's
rick magruder.

I'm an attorney
representing your ex-Wife.

Oh, well,
i paid that bitch

The last dime
she's getting out of me.

Yeah, well, i'm not coming
about that, mr. Randle.

I'm here in the matter
of miss doss' father.

What...

something happen to that
old, shoeless fruitcake?

I hope he croaked.

Miss doss is seeking
a commitment for evaluation.

Seems he's become unstable.

Become?

Hell, he never
had a stable day

In his entire life.

Yeah, well, he's become
dangerous to himself

And to his daughter.

I understand
he attacked you once.

So? Ain't no big deal.

That's not what
i heard, mr. Randle.

We heard that he put you
in a hospital.

He what?

We know that he put you
in a hospital.

I'd like you to testify
to that.

It'll go toward establishing
violent tendencies.

You want me to help
mallory out?

Yeah, that's
the general idea, sir.

That'll be a cold day
in hell.

I wouldn't spare
a drop of piss on her

If she was burning
to death.

Yeah, we're aware
of your urinary problem.

Thing is...

mr. Randle, if I need to,
i can force you to testify.

I'd like to see you try
to force me to do anything

Other than throw your ass
off the side of this vessel.

Yeah, well, maybe we should
talk about that

When you get your subpoena.

I look forward to seeing you
in court, mr. Randle.

All rise!

All rise!

Be seated, please.

My calendar shows this
is a competency hearing.

Are we ready to proceed?

Yes, your honor.

Mr. Cherry?

Your honor...

i regret to inform you
at this late date,

But i've been discharged
by mr. Doss.

He wishes
no legal representation.

Mr. Doss, is this so?

Do you understand
you're waiving your right

To have a court-Appointed
attorney?

Yes, sir.

Well, since this is not
a criminal matter,

I'm gonna
let it proceed,

But i'm gonna ask you
to stand by, mr. Cherry.

Yes, your honor.

Are you ready,
mr. Magruder?

Yes. Your honor. We intend
to prove that the respondent

It mentally incompetent.

To that end,

We call our first witness,
dr. Bernice sampson.

Disoriented, certainly,

And showing distinct signs
of paranoia as well.

He was utterly
uncooperative,

And seemed given
to violent outbursts.

And your conclusions,
doctor?

Judging from the behavior
i observed,

I'd say
mr. Doss suffers

From rather acute
schizophrenia.

I recommend
that he be committed

To georgia regional hospital
for an evaluation.

Unmedicated and untreated,

He is clearly volatile

And very possibly dangerous,

Both to himself and others.

Thank you, doctor.

Any questions, mr. Doss?

Mr. Cherry?

You may step down,
doctor.

Call your next witness,
mr. Magruder.

Your honor,
we call mr. Peter randle,

Who is appearing here today
pursuant to a subpoena.

Noted.

Come forward, sir.

Face the clerk
and raise your right hand.

You do solemnly swear
that the evidence you give

Shall be the truth,
the whole truth,

And nothing but the truth,
so help you god.

Yeah.

Have a seat.
Up here.

Ahem.

Mr. Randle,
will you inform the court

Of your relation
to mr. Doss?

Oh, uh, yeah.

L... I used to be married
to his daughter.

She in this courtroom?
Would you point her out?

Yeah, she'd be that
skinny girl over there.

Let the record show
mr. Randle indicated

Mr. Doss' daughter,
mallory doss.

Now your marriage ended
in divorce, I believe, sir.

Yeah.

During your marriage,

You had occasion to make
the acquaintance of mr. Doss

And your relationship
with him was turbulent,

Was it not?

Come on. You had fights
with him.

You had actual
physical confrontations,

Didn't you?

Why?

Nonresponsive,
your honor.

Answer the question,
mr. Randle.

I don't remember.

Well, do you remember
going to the hospital

As the result of any
of these incidents?

Your honor, may I remind
the witness he's on oath?

No, I will.

Mr. Randle...

i order you to answer
the question,

Or i'll hold you
in contempt...

Punishable by a fine and
up to 30 days in jail.

Understand?

Yes, sir, I understand,

But nobody can prove
i remember something

If I don't remember it.

Let's see if you can
remember this, mr. Randle.

Is it true that,
as it says here,

3 years ago
on the fourth of july,

You were admitted to
the savannah memorial hospital

With a possible concussion?

Yeah, I guess.

Well, I guess so,
too, sir.

It says here
on your medical record,

That you were clubbed
with a stick of firewood.

A stick of firewood,
mr. Randle.

You remember that?

Yeah.

By whose hand,
sir?

Doss.

Mr. Doss.
Counselor.

Your honor...

That kind of behavior
will not be allowed!

Get those people
out of the courtroom!

Be quiet!

Knock it off,
son.

We just won the case.

Mr. Magruder,
please continue.

Mr. Randle,
exactly why do you think

Mr. Doss attacked you
with a stick of firewood?

'Cause I drank
out of his cup.

Because you drank
out of his cup.

Now, march 17,
the following year,

You received 22 stitches

And a laceration
on your right arm.

Mr. Doss as well,
i believe.

Yeah.

That is all,
your honor.

If you have any defense
to these charges...

your... Your honor, uh...

nothing this asshole says
is true.

But help me. Just, please,
would you, your honor?

You arrest me.

You arrest me...

based on her pack of lies.

Now you appoint me
a lawyer

Who's grossly incompetent
and inexperienced.

He probably cheated his way
through law school.

On top of that,

You give me 2 doctors
to examine me.

They come into the room,
look at my eyes,

And then they rush out.

The first one wanted me

To name the first
5 presidents in order.

Now, can you do that,
judge?

Let me hear you.

Name me the first 5 presidents
of the united states.

George washington,
abraham lincoln, john kennedy...

Mr. Doss!

You can't do it!

I don't answer
questions. I ask them!

They ought to ship
your ass off for 90 days!

Your honor,
we don't have to hear this.

This man is terrorizing
his own daughter

And needs to be treated.
It's as simple as that.

That's enough!

And you, and you,
and you.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Mr. Doss,
please stand up.

Stand up.

Yes, sir.

After hearing the evidence
in this case,

I think
it's in the best interest

Of you
and of everyone concerned,

That you be hospitalized
at georgia regional in savannah

For psychiatric
examination,

And i'm so ordering

That you be admitted
for that purpose.

Come on, mr. Doss.

Hold it!

You...

you ungrateful
bitch!

Judge...

can I go?

It's just paying bills,
checking investments.

Making sure he doesn't
suffer financially

While he's in
the state hospital.

That's why they call it
a conservator.

Well, can't you be
the conservator?

I don't want to touch
any of his money.

He'll accuse me
of stealing it.

You gotta do it.
You're the next of kin.

Besides, you can't steal
any of his money.

You need court approval

For every penny
you spend.

Good.

They're gonna get
your father on lithium.

They're gonna treat him.

In a few months,

He's gonna feel
a lot better.

Ohh.

No...

No.

No, don't hurt me.

No.

Aah!

No!

Please, no!

No!

No, no!

No!

Hey, easy, easy.

Easy, easy.

No.

Hey.

Aah. No, no, no!

It's ok.

That's it. Easy, easy.
Come on.

Come on now.

No!

It's ok. It's ok.

Oh!

This dream...
was strangling...

Was it him?

It was him.

It's always him.

When I was a kid,

He used to
tell me stories,

And they became
stranger and scarier,

And he'd come
into my room,

And he'd sit on my bed,
and he'd...

aw, honey.

There was one.

Yeah. Tell me.

The one about
the gingerbread man.

Yeah, I know that one.

A lonely old man and woman
who lived in the woods.

They had no children,

So she decides to bake
a gingerbread man.

Yeah.

And when he comes out
of the oven, he's alive.

And he runs
out of the house,

And he runs past a cow
and past a horse

And past a group of men,
all who want to eat him up,

But he just keeps on
running, yelling...

"run, run, as fast as you can.

You can't catch me.
I'm the gingerbread man. "

That's it.

And he grew very proud
of himself,

Because he thought no one
could ever catch him.

Until one day,
he came upon a river,

Which he couldn't cross,

Or he'd break
into little pieces.

And so he agrees
to let this fox,

Who promises
not to eat him,

Carry him across
the water on his back.

Only, just before they
reach the other side,

The fox snaps
his head back...

yeah.

And swallows him whole.

My daddy
used to warn me...

that it was just as easy

For little children
to disappear...

as it was
for gingerbread men.

I'm still worried about geraldo.

Is somebody gonna
help me with this food here?

Is anyone gonna help me
with the food?!

I'm gonna catch you!

Ok.

Come on!
Don't stop! Don't stop!

You gonna give me
a hand here?

Ok, last one there
gets no food.

Aah!
Aah!

Gee whiz.

I land!

This picnic table, ourpicnic table.

Who wants to eat?

Am I going to be carrying
this stuff all day?

I guess me.

You want some food?

Ok,
what did we order?

I don't know.
Mashed potatoes.

I get the chicken!

Order the chicken,
you get the chicken.

Macaroni and cheese,
you get macaroni and cheese.

Hey, listen, guys, I just
saw somebody I know from work.

Why don't you lay this stuff
out for me? Some tea.

I'll be right back.

I don't see
anyone.

Me neither.

Let's see
what this is.

Yeah!

Well...

fancy meeting you here.

It's a sign.

Hey.

How are you?

Cute kids.

You want to
come meet them?

You sure
it's a good idea?

I think
it's a good idea.

Ok.

Come on.

Libby and jeff.

Or leffy and jib.

You can say
whatever you want.

Or lessy and jibby.

Maybe you'll endear
yourself to them

By calling them by
slightly different names.

What you have for lunch?

We got everything
you can get.

Hey, guys! Here's somebody
i know from work.

I'd like you
to say hello to her.

Libby, why don't you
say hello to mallory?

Jeff, why don't you come
and say hello to mallory?

Shake her hand.

I'm lovely.
My name is jeff.

I'm a lovely person
with a fabulous dad.

Come on and sit down.

In your dreams!

In my dreams?
Inyourdreams.

What you gonna eat?

I'll have my chicken.

Hey there.

They didn't give it to us.

Ok, so...

hey, rick!

Piece of chicken,
big boy?

Rick!

You tell him
we were coming here?

No. Did you tell him we
were going to the park?

Hey, guys, why don't you
lay this stuff out

And help yourselves?
And i'll be right back.

How'd you know
to come here?

That's my profession.

Listen, I got to tell you
something real quick.

What's the matter?

Now, I don't want
to panic miss doss,

But it looks
like the old man

Didn't exactly like
his new address so good.

What?

A couple of them wing nuts
from the group

Broke into the hospital,
busted him out somehow.

Staff wound up putting someone
else in his room by mistake.

Didn't even catch up with it
till this morning.

That son of a bitch.

Well, not to freak,
but, you know...

i think it would be a good idea
to keep an eye on her.

Sure. Thanks.

Listen, will you
do me a favor?

Will you
take the kids home?

Leeanne
will be back soon.

But don't tell her
what's going on.

Hell, i'm on the clock.
I don't care.

Hey, guys, clyde is
gonna give you a ride

In his new cadillac.

It's not much comfort.

Introducing the norelco reflex...

Has become hurricane geraldo.

And geraldo is...

Scared and anxious for no real reason?

I'm sorry, leeanne.

This is real important.

I promise, if this
hadn't been an emergency,

I wouldn't have done it.

Come on, you know clyde.
The kids know him.

They feel comfortable
with him.

I just
don't like him.

I never have.

I know.

I mean, the guy hung
around here for an hour.

He asked for a drink.

He was flirting
with me, too.

I just don't trust him.

He did me a real big favor
dropping off the kids.

He's gone now, so maybe
we should try and let it go.

I just don't
want that drunk

Hanging around
my children anymore!

Would you mind if I gave you
a call a little later?

As a matter of fact,
i would.

Well, uh...

I'll give you a call
a little later.

I'm... I'm sorry.

Rick, wait.

L... I was scared.

Clyde told me if I had one,
i should carry it.

Take it.

What is it?

They left it
on the steps.

Jesus!

Jesus.

Get your things.

Where are we going?

Just get your bag,
and let's get out!
