Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,435 --> 00:00:04,426
Do you think
a little girl like Abagail...
2
00:00:04,504 --> 00:00:07,234
could be capable of murder?
3
00:00:07,307 --> 00:00:10,936
It was you who killed her, Abagail!
I didn't kill her!
4
00:00:11,011 --> 00:00:13,946
I'm coming!
5
00:00:14,014 --> 00:00:16,539
Sam, look out!
6
00:00:24,557 --> 00:00:28,550
You two rabbits ought to be ashamed!
7
00:00:28,628 --> 00:00:30,528
The weddin'is tomorrow.!
8
00:00:30,597 --> 00:00:33,088
You get him out of here.
You hear me, Abigail Fuller?
9
00:00:33,166 --> 00:00:35,464
Don Takins's boy's disappeared.
10
00:00:35,535 --> 00:00:37,935
It looks like you're gonna have
a witch hunt on your hands.
11
00:00:38,004 --> 00:00:41,030
Sam, look out!
12
00:00:41,107 --> 00:00:44,702
No! No!
She should die! No!
13
00:00:44,778 --> 00:00:48,976
Just know that
for this brief moment in time,
14
00:00:49,049 --> 00:00:51,347
we belong to each other.
15
00:00:52,419 --> 00:00:54,580
Please know that.
16
00:00:56,222 --> 00:00:58,213
I love you.
17
00:01:16,242 --> 00:01:18,176
"Baton Rouge Gazette.
18
00:01:18,244 --> 00:01:20,769
July 28, 1978. "
19
00:01:20,847 --> 00:01:22,815
Louisiana.
20
00:01:22,882 --> 00:01:25,009
It wasn't over.
21
00:01:25,085 --> 00:01:29,283
My memory was fading, but in my soul
I knew it wasn't over.
22
00:01:29,355 --> 00:01:33,655
I was still in the South, and somehow
Abagail had summoned me back.
23
00:01:33,726 --> 00:01:35,751
But for what?
24
00:01:35,829 --> 00:01:39,026
And as who?
25
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:42,159
Bo, the child has legal rights.
Wait a second. Wait a second.
26
00:01:42,235 --> 00:01:44,931
Larry Stanton?
27
00:01:45,004 --> 00:01:48,030
Hello, sweet cheeks.
28
00:01:48,108 --> 00:01:51,202
Come on over here,
you hot-blooded, Southern rebel,
29
00:01:51,277 --> 00:01:54,041
and melt me down.
30
00:01:55,849 --> 00:01:58,283
Tonight, Lawrence Stanton III,
31
00:01:58,351 --> 00:02:02,515
I am Jane Fonda in Butterfeld 8.
32
00:02:02,589 --> 00:02:04,523
Oh, boy.
33
00:03:20,333 --> 00:03:24,736
I got a bad feelin' about this.
34
00:03:24,804 --> 00:03:27,602
After 28 years of marriage,
35
00:03:27,674 --> 00:03:31,667
I know every feelin' you got.
36
00:03:31,744 --> 00:03:37,239
I'm your husband?
Well, of course you're my husband.
37
00:03:37,317 --> 00:03:42,721
Unless you wanna be
that wicked Blackbeard again.
38
00:03:43,957 --> 00:03:47,620
Why am I here?
Oh, no, you don't!
39
00:03:47,694 --> 00:03:50,754
Don't you start that.
Start what?
40
00:03:50,830 --> 00:03:53,560
That-That craziness about hearing voices.
41
00:03:53,633 --> 00:03:58,434
I don't wanna hear another word.
I heard voices?
42
00:03:58,504 --> 00:04:00,802
I said, not another word.
43
00:04:00,873 --> 00:04:03,137
But what do you mean-
That's it. That is it.
44
00:04:03,209 --> 00:04:07,578
You have gone and done it. You have ruined
everything. I am no longer in the mood.
45
00:04:07,647 --> 00:04:11,515
So you can hang up your holsters
until next Saturday night.
46
00:04:15,388 --> 00:04:18,357
- Aren't you gonna stop me?
- Stop you?
47
00:04:18,424 --> 00:04:22,121
I'm callin' my mother!
48
00:04:22,195 --> 00:04:26,359
- Oh, boy! - Sam, you're not gonna
believe this yo-yo in the waiting room.
49
00:04:26,432 --> 00:04:29,526
Larry Stanton?
Lawrence Stanton III, actually.
50
00:04:29,602 --> 00:04:33,504
You have a lucrative law practice
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
51
00:04:33,573 --> 00:04:36,474
and your counterpart
in the waiting room thinks he's dead.
52
00:04:36,542 --> 00:04:40,137
What? He thinks I'm St. Peter
and I'm gonna send him to hell...
53
00:04:40,213 --> 00:04:42,147
for overcharging his hours.
54
00:04:42,215 --> 00:04:44,410
Reminds me of my
last two divorce lawyers.
55
00:04:44,484 --> 00:04:47,282
Do you remember Larry Stanton?
Yeah.
56
00:04:47,353 --> 00:04:50,220
I mean, there were-
57
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:52,281
I remember, uh,
58
00:04:54,627 --> 00:04:57,323
there was a hanging...
59
00:04:57,397 --> 00:04:59,957
and a lot people, and...
60
00:05:00,033 --> 00:05:03,093
he was hurt.
61
00:05:03,169 --> 00:05:08,630
I think he tried to save her.
Who? Her?
62
00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:12,838
No, no, no. Not her, not her. That's Mrs.
Larry Stanton. She wants to "melt me down. "
63
00:05:12,912 --> 00:05:16,871
Oh. Well, no wonder old Larry I would
rather go to hell than come back here.
64
00:05:16,949 --> 00:05:21,079
He's gonna be in big trouble if he comes
back here talking about heaven and angels,
65
00:05:21,154 --> 00:05:23,554
because Mrs. Larry
already thinks that he's nuts.
66
00:05:23,623 --> 00:05:27,855
Mrs. Larry-
Her name is Sherilyn Stanton.
67
00:05:27,927 --> 00:05:30,896
She's 51 years old, and she's
going through her second husband.
68
00:05:30,963 --> 00:05:34,421
She killed the first one
at the tender age of 17.
69
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:39,301
And Ziggy says that she's gonna
bury the second one as well.
70
00:05:39,372 --> 00:05:43,206
Murder?
No. Heart attacks.
71
00:05:43,276 --> 00:05:47,212
Mr. Stanton the first was 77.
72
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:50,374
Now, according to Ziggy,
73
00:05:50,450 --> 00:05:54,216
there's a 41- 41.12-
74
00:05:54,287 --> 00:05:56,346
43-point chance you're here-
75
00:05:56,422 --> 00:06:00,188
No, no, no. If you think I'm here to save
their marriage, Al, you can forget about that.
76
00:06:00,259 --> 00:06:03,854
Well, actually, Ziggy hasn't
the slightest idea why you're here.
77
00:06:03,930 --> 00:06:08,390
So I'd suggest you go open the door
and see what drifts in.
78
00:06:08,468 --> 00:06:12,268
Larry, will you please
answer the damn door!
79
00:06:12,338 --> 00:06:16,399
I am far too upset
to be entertaining guests.
80
00:06:18,611 --> 00:06:21,637
Don't look at me.
I don't make up these assignments.
81
00:06:28,154 --> 00:06:30,315
Hello.
82
00:06:47,740 --> 00:06:52,177
It's been a long time, Counselor.
A very long time.
83
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:55,772
Would you like to, uh, come in?
No, it's-
84
00:06:55,848 --> 00:06:57,839
Be all right out here.
85
00:06:57,917 --> 00:07:02,149
You don't remember me.
It's Marie.
86
00:07:02,221 --> 00:07:04,155
It's Marie from Pottersville.
Marie?
87
00:07:04,223 --> 00:07:08,182
Your brain is Swiss-cheesed, Sam.
Marie from Pottersville. Marie Billings.
88
00:07:08,261 --> 00:07:10,786
Marie- Marie Billings.
89
00:07:10,863 --> 00:07:13,127
This is the woman
that used to work for Clayton Fuller.
90
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:15,133
Abagail?
Yeah.
91
00:07:15,201 --> 00:07:19,137
I knew you didn't get my telegram.
Is Abagail all right?
92
00:07:19,205 --> 00:07:23,733
Well, I've been working for
that family for almost 30 years.
93
00:07:23,810 --> 00:07:27,371
Practically raised that child myself
after her daddy died.
94
00:07:27,447 --> 00:07:33,147
She didn't have no one else
after Henry died. Neither did I.
95
00:07:34,687 --> 00:07:36,621
What's happened to Abagail?
96
00:07:36,689 --> 00:07:38,987
They found those bones,
97
00:07:39,058 --> 00:07:43,085
and then there was that horrible murder.
98
00:07:43,162 --> 00:07:45,892
They're accusing Abagail of murder.
99
00:07:45,965 --> 00:07:48,900
That happened over 25 years ago.
100
00:07:48,968 --> 00:07:54,031
And the trial starts tomorrow. But
nobody would take it, Mr. Stanton. Nobody.
101
00:07:54,106 --> 00:07:57,735
She said maybe you?
102
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:02,937
You were there for that horrible night,
and she said...
103
00:08:03,015 --> 00:08:05,916
only Will and you believed in her.
104
00:08:05,985 --> 00:08:09,614
My husband doesn't take
charity cases anymore.
105
00:08:09,689 --> 00:08:12,021
Besides, he is retired.
106
00:08:12,091 --> 00:08:14,753
No wonder Larry would rather stay dead.
107
00:08:14,827 --> 00:08:19,264
This is very important, Mrs. Stanton. You
remember Marie Billings from Pottersville.
108
00:08:19,332 --> 00:08:22,028
I said, my husband is retired.
109
00:08:22,101 --> 00:08:24,262
He has a very bad heart.
110
00:08:24,337 --> 00:08:26,567
Sam, Larry never took Abagail's case.
111
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:28,869
But if you would just hear me out-
I have told you a million times.
112
00:08:28,941 --> 00:08:31,273
We don't have to work with
this kind of nigger trash anymore.
113
00:08:31,344 --> 00:08:32,868
Ouch.!
114
00:08:32,945 --> 00:08:34,742
Marie,
115
00:08:37,283 --> 00:08:41,219
I'd like to apologize
for what my wife just said.
116
00:08:41,287 --> 00:08:43,221
Will you excuse me for a moment?
117
00:08:46,792 --> 00:08:49,818
I'd like you to go inside
and make Marie and me some lemonade.
118
00:08:49,896 --> 00:08:51,830
And take your time.
But, Lawrence-
119
00:08:51,898 --> 00:08:53,559
Get inside.
120
00:09:02,174 --> 00:09:04,108
I don't want to cause any trouble.
Marie, I'm sorry.
121
00:09:04,176 --> 00:09:07,907
From the look of it, Miss Racist-in-a-Moo-Moo
could use a dose of trouble.
122
00:09:07,980 --> 00:09:10,073
Just sit down. I'm so sorry.
123
00:09:10,149 --> 00:09:14,779
Sam, maybe you're here
to see that Larry takes Abagail's case.
124
00:09:15,988 --> 00:09:20,789
You remember that little Aider girl? Well, she
disappeared two years before you moved to town.
125
00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:24,455
Folks thought that she was taken
by a pack of wild dogs.
126
00:09:24,530 --> 00:09:28,432
Violet Aider's bones were discovered
sealed in the town well.
127
00:09:28,501 --> 00:09:31,664
And everybody thought that Abagail-
Abagail didn't kill them.
128
00:09:31,737 --> 00:09:33,671
I can't believe this is really happening.
129
00:09:33,739 --> 00:09:37,505
You and I both know that.
After they got the bones out,
130
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:41,570
Ms. Leta put together a case
with some lawyer-
131
00:09:41,647 --> 00:09:44,445
Denton Waters.
Ziggy says he's never lost a case.
132
00:09:44,517 --> 00:09:46,678
For something that happened
25 years ago?
133
00:09:46,752 --> 00:09:48,617
No, no, no. That was just it.
134
00:09:48,688 --> 00:09:53,682
The lawyer told Ms. Leta that
he couldn't try Abagail for Violet's murder.
135
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:56,455
Abagail is convicted of murder, Sam.
136
00:09:56,529 --> 00:09:58,793
But she was eight years old.
137
00:09:58,864 --> 00:10:01,162
Ms. Leta was found...
138
00:10:01,233 --> 00:10:04,930
with her throat cut open
on Abagail's kitchen floor.
139
00:10:05,004 --> 00:10:09,464
Abagail is executed for the murder
of Leta Aider.
140
00:10:21,287 --> 00:10:23,949
Now don't go have a heart attack
on me, Mr. Stanton.
141
00:10:24,023 --> 00:10:26,719
Abagail needs your real bad.
142
00:10:30,796 --> 00:10:34,789
I'll go, uh,
pack my things, Marie.
143
00:10:34,867 --> 00:10:37,768
Now, we have to call Sheriff
Loman and tell him that... Right.
144
00:10:37,837 --> 00:10:40,305
You'll be up there this afternoon.
All right. I'll do that.
145
00:10:40,373 --> 00:10:44,400
You just sit down here, relax, and
I'll be out in a few minutes. Okay?
146
00:10:44,477 --> 00:10:47,002
Abagail said you would come.
147
00:11:04,096 --> 00:11:06,189
You're still in love with Abagail,
aren't you?
148
00:11:06,265 --> 00:11:08,995
I'm taking the case, Al.
Does history change?
149
00:11:09,068 --> 00:11:13,471
Not unless you do something
to change it.
150
00:11:13,539 --> 00:11:18,567
Abagail Fuller dies in the
electric chair June 30, 1984.
151
00:11:27,119 --> 00:11:31,055
Little Violet Aider had waited
25 years for someone to find her.
152
00:11:31,123 --> 00:11:33,284
And finally, they had.
153
00:11:33,359 --> 00:11:35,884
Leta had come after Abagail
with a vengeance,
154
00:11:35,961 --> 00:11:40,364
desperately trying to mount a case
that would send her to the electric chair.
155
00:11:40,433 --> 00:11:42,458
But now Leta was dead,
and I knew that fate...
156
00:11:42,535 --> 00:11:45,265
had brought me back into Abagail's life...
157
00:11:45,337 --> 00:11:48,204
to prove her innocence
once and for all.
158
00:11:50,342 --> 00:11:53,243
All right. Let me see those files.
I'll be out of your way.
159
00:11:53,312 --> 00:11:55,746
You got it.
There he is.
160
00:11:55,815 --> 00:12:00,582
Hey, Stanton. How come I'm
so young, and you got so old?
161
00:12:00,653 --> 00:12:02,951
- Good to see you again, Bo.
- Good to see you.
162
00:12:03,022 --> 00:12:06,924
- This is Denton Waters. He's the special prosecutor for the State.
- Mr. Waters.
163
00:12:06,992 --> 00:12:10,587
Mr. Stanton. I understand
you used to live around these parts.
164
00:12:10,663 --> 00:12:15,464
Yeah. Moved away in '66 right after that
incident with the Takins boy gettin'lost.
165
00:12:15,534 --> 00:12:19,903
- What incident was that?
- Oh, couple townsfolks decided to take the law in their own hands.
166
00:12:19,972 --> 00:12:22,566
- They were gonna string up Abagail.
- Is that so?
167
00:12:22,641 --> 00:12:25,508
As I recall, Leta Aider
was one of the main instigators.
168
00:12:25,578 --> 00:12:30,675
Larry packed up his bags and his wife
and kids and left damn near the next day.
169
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:35,551
Mr. Stanton said he had no intentions of letting
his family grow up in a town that was so backwards,
170
00:12:35,621 --> 00:12:40,251
it was capable of lynchin'
one of its own.
171
00:12:42,428 --> 00:12:46,762
Um, I always admired you
for that.
172
00:12:46,832 --> 00:12:49,096
Mrs. Kinman?
173
00:12:49,168 --> 00:12:52,160
"Kinman"? There's a name
I haven't heard in a long time.
174
00:12:52,238 --> 00:12:55,469
It's still Fuller. Yeah, Will and
Abagail never quite made it to the altar.
175
00:12:55,541 --> 00:13:01,002
If you don't mind, I would prefer to
discuss my past with Mr. Stanton myself.
176
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,140
I thought he'd rather hear it from me
than get an earful from the Potter parish.
177
00:13:04,216 --> 00:13:08,152
I don't think that Miss Fuller's marital status
has any relevance to this trial, does it?
178
00:13:08,220 --> 00:13:13,487
Neither does my bein' here. I'm sure you two
have a great deal to discuss before tomorrow.
179
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,687
- Yeah, starting with a continuance.
- I'm afraid we've had two already.
180
00:13:16,762 --> 00:13:18,662
A third is out of the question.
181
00:13:18,731 --> 00:13:20,995
L- I'm sorry.
Have you, uh-
182
00:13:21,066 --> 00:13:23,125
Mr. Waters and I have already met.
183
00:13:23,202 --> 00:13:26,171
Well, I'll need to see
the rest of those files.
184
00:13:26,238 --> 00:13:28,263
Oh, and make sure that
Mr. Stanton has copies.
185
00:13:28,340 --> 00:13:32,572
We wouldn't want him to declare
a mistrial for lack of disclosure.
186
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:37,781
Stanton, why don't you
go ahead and use my office?
187
00:13:37,850 --> 00:13:40,045
Take as much time as you want to.
188
00:13:41,887 --> 00:13:45,550
Jim Bob's gonna be outside,
and the file's on the desk.
189
00:13:55,634 --> 00:13:57,864
I'm very glad you came,
Mr. Stanton.
190
00:13:57,937 --> 00:13:59,996
I never should have left.
191
00:14:05,511 --> 00:14:10,949
There aren't any hotels in town, so I
told Marie you'd be staying at the house.
192
00:14:11,016 --> 00:14:13,416
Yes, thank you.
She, uh- She told me-
193
00:14:13,485 --> 00:14:16,181
Would you mind taking these home for
me? They're just a bunch of bills.
194
00:14:16,255 --> 00:14:19,554
But right now,
they seem kind of unimportant.
195
00:14:25,898 --> 00:14:28,628
Sorry about what happened
with you and Will.
196
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:32,865
Oh.
Would you mind tellin' me?
197
00:14:36,141 --> 00:14:41,044
There's not much to tell,
but, uh-
198
00:14:41,113 --> 00:14:44,082
It was just one moment, we were very
much in love and getting married.
199
00:14:44,149 --> 00:14:48,848
And the next, he moved out west
to write a book.
200
00:14:52,691 --> 00:14:55,922
I hear he's doing real well.
201
00:14:55,995 --> 00:14:58,930
What else do you wanna know,
Mr. Stanton?
202
00:15:02,301 --> 00:15:06,567
How I'm gonna stretch 15 hours into
three weeks to get ready for your trial.
203
00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:10,268
- Should I be afraid, Mr. Stanton?
- Only if you're guilty.
204
00:15:10,342 --> 00:15:13,607
Well, I didn't kill Leta Aider.
205
00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:15,613
Do you believe me?
206
00:15:15,681 --> 00:15:17,512
Yes, I do.
207
00:15:23,188 --> 00:15:25,122
Now, you wanna tell me what happened?
208
00:15:27,393 --> 00:15:32,228
Well, it was a little after 3:00
on Tuesday.
209
00:15:33,432 --> 00:15:36,799
I'd just been to the market
to get a few things, and, uh-
210
00:15:36,869 --> 00:15:41,806
I came straight home and I went to
the kitchen to put the groceries away.
211
00:15:43,309 --> 00:15:45,800
And then I saw Leta.
212
00:15:45,878 --> 00:15:49,279
Were there any signs of a struggle?
The whole place was a mess.
213
00:15:49,348 --> 00:15:52,613
- So you phoned the police?
- No.
214
00:15:52,685 --> 00:15:55,677
No, no, I didn't.
L-
215
00:15:55,754 --> 00:16:01,454
I was just standin' there
lookin' at Leta in all that blood.
216
00:16:03,729 --> 00:16:07,722
And then, uh,
Bo Loman showed up and said...
217
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:13,466
that he'd gotten a call from someone
that said they heard a woman screamin'.
218
00:16:13,539 --> 00:16:16,838
Your first attorney wanted you
to plead self-defense.
219
00:16:16,909 --> 00:16:20,174
I didn't kill her.
220
00:16:20,245 --> 00:16:24,944
Denton Waters was approached
prior to the death of Leta Aider...
221
00:16:25,017 --> 00:16:28,748
to come up with a case against you
for the murder of Violet...
222
00:16:28,821 --> 00:16:31,016
and for the murder of her father,
Bart Aider.
223
00:16:31,090 --> 00:16:33,854
I know. They're supposed
to exhume Bart's body tomorrow.
224
00:16:33,926 --> 00:16:38,727
Abagail, didn't you know that...
225
00:16:38,797 --> 00:16:42,255
no matter how much evidence
they got together to bring you to trial...
226
00:16:42,334 --> 00:16:47,829
that they couldn't because the crimes
were committed when you were a minor?
227
00:16:47,906 --> 00:16:51,273
I remember that day
Violet disappeared so clear.
228
00:16:51,343 --> 00:16:53,709
And yet,
sometimes I feel-
229
00:16:55,647 --> 00:16:58,081
Well, everyone else was so sure.
230
00:17:00,152 --> 00:17:03,417
Maybe I remembered what I wanted.
231
00:17:05,657 --> 00:17:08,251
Maybe-
232
00:17:08,327 --> 00:17:11,023
I wanted to hold her.
233
00:17:11,096 --> 00:17:15,965
Tell her, "You're not crazy.
You didn't kill anyone. "
234
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:19,937
But I wanted more.
With Abagail, I always wanted more.
235
00:17:20,005 --> 00:17:21,996
You all right?
236
00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:32,483
Yes, I am.
237
00:17:36,822 --> 00:17:40,314
Strange.
238
00:17:40,392 --> 00:17:43,384
It was just for a moment, you-
239
00:17:44,496 --> 00:17:46,430
In your eyes-
240
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:53,902
I, uh, don't believe that you killed Violet.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be here.
241
00:17:55,140 --> 00:17:58,371
Who discovered, uh,
Violet's remains?
242
00:17:58,444 --> 00:18:00,935
Restoration crew.
243
00:18:01,013 --> 00:18:04,949
They were tearing down the old well, and one
of the workmen dropped his watch or something.
244
00:18:05,017 --> 00:18:07,542
Went down to get it,
and found the skeleton.
245
00:18:11,824 --> 00:18:13,815
Funny, the games fate plays.
246
00:18:13,892 --> 00:18:18,920
I imagine that was enough to get Leta
Aider started again. Oh, she never stopped.
247
00:18:18,997 --> 00:18:22,694
Not really. I mean,
all she needed was Violet's locket,
248
00:18:22,768 --> 00:18:24,736
and the case would be complete.
249
00:18:24,803 --> 00:18:28,398
Abagail, I need you
to remember everything...
250
00:18:28,474 --> 00:18:31,307
about the day that Violet disappeared...
251
00:18:31,376 --> 00:18:33,810
and about Bart and about Leta.
252
00:18:33,879 --> 00:18:39,681
- Why? - Because I need to know
everything about your past- good or bad.
253
00:18:39,751 --> 00:18:43,152
Why don't we start with Violet?
254
00:18:43,222 --> 00:18:46,123
Well,
255
00:18:47,493 --> 00:18:52,260
I can't really say that
we were friends, Violet and I.
256
00:18:52,331 --> 00:18:55,164
I guess we were rivals.
257
00:18:56,768 --> 00:18:58,861
She, uh-
258
00:18:58,937 --> 00:19:03,237
She used to tease me... all the time.
259
00:19:06,378 --> 00:19:09,211
Then that day- that day,
she was tauntin' me...
260
00:19:09,281 --> 00:19:11,215
about a little gold locket...
261
00:19:11,283 --> 00:19:15,583
that I'd been saving up for,
but I couldn't afford.
262
00:19:15,654 --> 00:19:19,852
Just to spite me, she bought it.
263
00:19:19,925 --> 00:19:22,257
She kept pushin' it in my face,
264
00:19:22,327 --> 00:19:25,524
saying that my family was poor
and that we were crazy.
265
00:19:25,597 --> 00:19:29,693
So I hit her.
She laughed harder, so I hit her harder.
266
00:19:29,768 --> 00:19:33,260
Her nose started to bleed on her sweater,
and she started crying.
267
00:19:33,338 --> 00:19:38,640
And I just kept hittin'her and hittin'her
and hittin'her. It was like I couldn't stop.
268
00:19:38,710 --> 00:19:44,114
When I finally did stop, she ran off,
said she was gonna tell her mother.
269
00:19:46,718 --> 00:19:50,950
I did not like Violet,
270
00:19:51,023 --> 00:19:52,957
but I didn't kill her.
271
00:19:54,626 --> 00:19:57,186
I'm not a killer.
272
00:20:01,266 --> 00:20:03,564
I didn't kill her.
273
00:20:22,688 --> 00:20:26,021
Abagail and I talked
for another three hours.
274
00:20:26,091 --> 00:20:28,958
She told me about Violet and Bart...
275
00:20:29,027 --> 00:20:31,894
and how she had been there
when they died,:
276
00:20:31,964 --> 00:20:34,398
About her mother and her grandmother.
277
00:20:34,466 --> 00:20:37,958
Each story brought back
more memories of Abagail.
278
00:20:38,036 --> 00:20:40,129
Somehow,
in my Swiss cheese brain,
279
00:20:40,205 --> 00:20:42,469
every moment I had spent
leaping into Abagail's life...
280
00:20:42,541 --> 00:20:45,533
was as clear as if
it had happened yesterday.
281
00:20:46,778 --> 00:20:49,576
Gonna save her?
282
00:20:49,648 --> 00:20:51,741
Are you gonna save my mommy?
283
00:20:53,885 --> 00:20:58,345
- Abagail?
- Abagail's my mother.
284
00:20:58,423 --> 00:21:02,120
Your mother?
But she said that Will-
285
00:21:02,194 --> 00:21:05,322
Mary Beth said you can't help her.
Mary Beth said...
286
00:21:05,397 --> 00:21:08,696
that thejudge was gonna take
her tojail, and they were gonna-
287
00:21:08,767 --> 00:21:11,634
Come here.
Nobody's gonna hurt your mother.
288
00:21:11,703 --> 00:21:14,501
But Mary Beth said
that they were gonna-
289
00:21:14,573 --> 00:21:17,440
Look. I don't care
what Mary Beth said.
290
00:21:17,509 --> 00:21:20,706
I'm not about to let
anybody hurt your mother.
291
00:21:20,779 --> 00:21:22,804
You mean that?
292
00:21:22,881 --> 00:21:25,349
With all my heart.
293
00:21:25,417 --> 00:21:30,719
You know, I came from very far away...
294
00:21:30,789 --> 00:21:32,723
to help your mother.
295
00:21:32,791 --> 00:21:35,954
And I don't think I would have been
brought here if I couldn't do the job.
296
00:21:39,031 --> 00:21:43,798
So why don't you dry
those pretty eyes,
297
00:21:43,869 --> 00:21:48,670
and, um, let's not worry
about any of this a bit, okay?
298
00:21:51,176 --> 00:21:54,612
What's your name?
Sam.
299
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,978
Larry Stanton.
300
00:21:57,049 --> 00:22:00,576
What's yours?
SammyJo.
301
00:22:00,652 --> 00:22:02,586
Samantha Josephine Fuller.
302
00:22:02,654 --> 00:22:07,421
I'm very, very glad you're here,
Mr. Sam Larry Stanton. Very glad.
303
00:22:07,492 --> 00:22:11,861
Uh, Sam, Ziggy says
you're not herejust to save Abagail.
304
00:22:11,930 --> 00:22:15,366
You're here to save SammyJo.
305
00:22:15,434 --> 00:22:19,530
There's a 91.9% chance that...
306
00:22:19,604 --> 00:22:23,700
SammyJo Fuller is your daughter.
307
00:22:29,815 --> 00:22:31,942
According to Ziggy,
308
00:22:32,017 --> 00:22:36,044
she has an I.Q. Of 194.
309
00:22:36,121 --> 00:22:39,113
So she got her brains
from her father.
310
00:22:39,191 --> 00:22:45,061
But the tragedy in all of this is that she's so
traumatized by the death of her mother that she drops out.
311
00:22:45,130 --> 00:22:48,657
She's living alone
in Mobile right now.
312
00:22:48,734 --> 00:22:52,135
She's writing computer manuals
for some rinky-dink little company.
313
00:22:52,204 --> 00:22:54,570
- No.
- "No" what?
314
00:22:58,176 --> 00:23:02,545
No way am I gonna get busted...
315
00:23:02,614 --> 00:23:05,082
for keeping a 10-year-old kid
up so late.
316
00:23:05,150 --> 00:23:08,449
I'm not 10. I'm 11.
317
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,457
And you're not keeping me up. I'm
waitin' for Marie to wake up so we can go.
318
00:23:13,525 --> 00:23:17,154
Where are you going? Yeah, you
know, I think it's kinda creepy, uh-
319
00:23:17,229 --> 00:23:21,427
Just to Marie's. You know, for a kid to
stay in a place where dead people were.
320
00:23:21,500 --> 00:23:25,459
I'm staying with her till
Mommy comes home. Lordy.
321
00:23:25,537 --> 00:23:28,370
We all gonna turn into pumpkins.
322
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,170
I gotta get you home, child.
323
00:23:31,243 --> 00:23:33,837
I see you met our SammyJo.
324
00:23:33,912 --> 00:23:37,507
Smartest little girl
in the whole parish.
325
00:23:37,582 --> 00:23:41,484
I put up some chicken and rice for you,
Mr. Stanton, in the kitchen.
326
00:23:41,553 --> 00:23:45,990
You want me to warm it?
You better get her home, huh?
327
00:23:46,057 --> 00:23:48,423
SammyJo, why don't you run in the
kitchen and pull that plate out-
328
00:23:48,493 --> 00:23:52,623
No! I can't go in there!
Please don't make me go in there.
329
00:23:52,697 --> 00:23:55,461
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
330
00:23:55,534 --> 00:23:58,128
I didn't know what
I was thinkin' about, baby.
331
00:23:58,203 --> 00:24:01,832
Your Marie is just
gettin' old and forgetful.
332
00:24:01,907 --> 00:24:06,207
Now, I'll get you outta here
and in a nice, warm bed.
333
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:11,409
She's probably right. If you, you
know, put on some nice pajamas...
334
00:24:11,483 --> 00:24:15,510
and get in a big, warm bed,
you'll have a good night's sleep.
335
00:24:19,624 --> 00:24:22,388
Will I see you tomorrow,
Mr. Stanton?
336
00:24:22,461 --> 00:24:26,488
Now, SammyJo, I don't want you
anywhere near that courthouse.
337
00:24:26,565 --> 00:24:29,466
I'll be here every day after 5:00.
338
00:24:32,237 --> 00:24:34,432
And I can come see you?
339
00:24:36,107 --> 00:24:38,473
I'd be sad if you don't.
340
00:24:40,145 --> 00:24:42,079
Good night.
341
00:24:42,147 --> 00:24:44,138
Come on, honey.
342
00:24:47,953 --> 00:24:50,444
I have a daughter, Al.
343
00:24:56,261 --> 00:24:58,752
Now there were two people I had to save-
344
00:24:58,830 --> 00:25:02,163
Abagail and our daughter, SammyJo.
345
00:25:02,234 --> 00:25:04,828
And even from her grave,
Leta held the key.
346
00:25:04,903 --> 00:25:08,703
Mr. Stanton, would you care
to address thejury?
347
00:25:08,773 --> 00:25:11,537
Uh, yes. Well, firstly-
firstly, there's no proof...
348
00:25:11,610 --> 00:25:16,172
that Abagail killed
either Violet or her father.
349
00:25:17,782 --> 00:25:22,981
First of all, I would like
to clear up some of the clutter...
350
00:25:23,054 --> 00:25:26,820
that Mr. Waters has thrown
in your way about this trial.
351
00:25:28,860 --> 00:25:32,421
We are here for one reason
and one reason only-
352
00:25:32,497 --> 00:25:35,989
to determine the guilt or innocence
of Abagail Fuller...
353
00:25:36,067 --> 00:25:38,729
with regards to
the murder of Leta Aider.
354
00:25:38,803 --> 00:25:42,170
Now, since Mr. Waters brought this up,
355
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,904
I feel I must remind you all
that it has never been proven that...
356
00:25:46,978 --> 00:25:49,947
Abagail Fuller committed murder.
357
00:25:50,015 --> 00:25:52,916
It has never been proven
that Abagail Fuller...
358
00:25:52,984 --> 00:25:56,852
took the lives of Violet
or her father.
359
00:25:58,456 --> 00:26:02,415
Now, that fact haunted Leta Aider.
360
00:26:02,494 --> 00:26:04,485
It haunted her...
361
00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:08,294
because she desperately needed
someone to blame...
362
00:26:08,366 --> 00:26:11,631
for the loss of her family.
363
00:26:11,703 --> 00:26:17,005
Now, I do not know why
Leta's family was taken from her,
364
00:26:17,075 --> 00:26:22,012
but I do know that my client,
Abagail Fuller, was not responsible.
365
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,674
Well, she had no motive to kill Leta.
366
00:26:24,749 --> 00:26:27,445
And-And because she is innocent-
367
00:26:27,519 --> 00:26:30,613
And even if she did, she wouldn't be
responsible because she just was a minor.
368
00:26:30,689 --> 00:26:35,991
Since she did not kill Violet or Bart,
she would have no reason to murder Leta-
369
00:26:36,061 --> 00:26:39,121
no motive to murder Leta Aider.
370
00:26:39,197 --> 00:26:42,030
Now, Mr. Waters omitted the fact...
371
00:26:42,100 --> 00:26:44,500
that by statute,
372
00:26:44,569 --> 00:26:48,437
the state of Louisiana cannot
convict a minor of a felony.
373
00:26:48,506 --> 00:26:51,998
That's if she committed a felony,
which she did not.
374
00:26:52,077 --> 00:26:57,037
Why would this woman
jeopardize her life...
375
00:26:57,115 --> 00:26:59,015
and the life ofher daughter?
376
00:26:59,084 --> 00:27:02,315
The answer is... she would not.
377
00:27:02,387 --> 00:27:04,548
Yeah. They're barking up
the wrong oak.
378
00:27:04,623 --> 00:27:07,786
There is a murderer and a killer-
379
00:27:07,859 --> 00:27:10,987
a killer who came into
Abagail's kitchen...
380
00:27:11,062 --> 00:27:13,792
and, for whatever reason,
took the life of Leta Aider.
381
00:27:13,865 --> 00:27:17,801
A crime was committed,
but not by this woman.
382
00:27:17,869 --> 00:27:20,030
Now, you,
ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
383
00:27:20,105 --> 00:27:22,403
have a very difficult task
ahead of you here.
384
00:27:22,474 --> 00:27:25,739
You have to throw out...
385
00:27:25,810 --> 00:27:29,712
the rumors and the gossip
and the lies...
386
00:27:29,781 --> 00:27:35,310
that have followed Abagail Fuller for the
past 25 years and listen only to the facts.
387
00:27:35,387 --> 00:27:38,379
And using that knowledge,
and that knowledge only,
388
00:27:38,456 --> 00:27:42,722
you must determine
the guilt or innocence...
389
00:27:42,794 --> 00:27:45,592
of Abagail Fuller.
390
00:27:45,664 --> 00:27:48,963
You must determine her fate...
391
00:27:49,034 --> 00:27:53,334
and the future of her daughter...
392
00:27:53,405 --> 00:27:55,373
and everyone else who loves her.
393
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,034
Sam, are you okay?
394
00:27:58,109 --> 00:28:01,237
I will do my best
to present the facts...
395
00:28:01,312 --> 00:28:05,248
as I know them, as will Mr. Waters.
396
00:28:05,316 --> 00:28:09,252
And it will be up to you...
397
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,254
to determine-
Sam?
398
00:28:11,322 --> 00:28:13,415
The truth.
399
00:28:15,794 --> 00:28:19,252
Thank you.
Are you all right?
400
00:28:19,330 --> 00:28:22,060
Sam, I don't like the way you
look here. Are you all right?
401
00:28:22,133 --> 00:28:24,260
What's goin' on?
402
00:28:24,335 --> 00:28:26,496
I'm all right.
I just need a moment.
403
00:28:26,571 --> 00:28:32,203
Sam, there's a problem in the waiting
room. Tell them you need a break.
404
00:28:32,277 --> 00:28:36,236
Your Honor, if I could just
have a moment, please?
405
00:28:36,314 --> 00:28:38,782
The court will take
a 20-minute recess...
406
00:28:38,850 --> 00:28:41,717
before we bring in
the prosecution's first witness.
407
00:28:43,154 --> 00:28:47,648
I had found Stanton's nitro pills
in his briefcase and taken them.
408
00:28:47,726 --> 00:28:51,594
They had made the pain in my chest subside enough
to make it through the first day of witnesses.
409
00:28:51,663 --> 00:28:54,723
I listened as Denton presented...
410
00:28:54,799 --> 00:28:58,098
a variety of experts
and a ton of evidence-
411
00:28:58,169 --> 00:29:03,607
the knife that killed Leta with Abagail's
fingerprints on it, as well as Leta's,:
412
00:29:03,675 --> 00:29:08,078
Bo and his recount of finding Abagail
standing over Leta's body,
413
00:29:08,146 --> 00:29:11,377
adding his memories
of Violet and Bart.
414
00:29:11,449 --> 00:29:15,579
And now, I had to face the one other
person whose future depended on me.
415
00:29:24,896 --> 00:29:26,887
SammyJo?
416
00:29:30,268 --> 00:29:32,259
SammyJo, you all right?
417
00:29:33,271 --> 00:29:36,434
Brigadoon.
What?
418
00:29:36,508 --> 00:29:39,341
I was just rememberin'.
419
00:29:39,410 --> 00:29:44,438
See, when I read a book,
the pages,
420
00:29:44,516 --> 00:29:47,815
they stay like pictures
in my mind.
421
00:29:47,886 --> 00:29:50,252
Whenever I want to,
I can just go back...
422
00:29:50,321 --> 00:29:54,087
and remember it all over again.
423
00:29:54,159 --> 00:29:57,651
You've got a photographic memory.
424
00:29:57,729 --> 00:29:59,822
Sometimes.
425
00:30:01,900 --> 00:30:04,266
I've got a photographic memory.
426
00:30:04,335 --> 00:30:06,963
You do?
Mm-hmm.
427
00:30:09,140 --> 00:30:12,667
Brigadoon. Brigadoon.
That was one of my favorite stories too.
428
00:30:12,744 --> 00:30:18,410
Mine too. My grandmama said she likes it
when the old reverend asked God for a miracle.
429
00:30:18,483 --> 00:30:22,544
And he makes Brigadoon
disappear for a hundred years.
430
00:30:22,620 --> 00:30:24,679
What's your favorite part?
431
00:30:26,591 --> 00:30:30,357
I like when Tommy calls
the whole village back through time...
432
00:30:30,428 --> 00:30:33,591
because he loves Fiona so much
that he can't live without her.
433
00:30:35,533 --> 00:30:39,867
Do you believe in miracles,
Mr. Stanton? Miracles?
434
00:30:41,272 --> 00:30:46,039
Someone,
if they really loved somebody,
435
00:30:46,110 --> 00:30:50,570
could go back in time
and be part of their lives?
436
00:30:52,150 --> 00:30:55,176
Well, if that's a miracle,
then yes, I believe in miracles.
437
00:30:55,253 --> 00:30:58,518
I wanna go back in time someday.
You do?
438
00:30:59,924 --> 00:31:03,382
I wanna meet my daddy.
I wanna tell him-
439
00:31:03,461 --> 00:31:07,090
Tell him what?
It doesn't matter.
440
00:31:07,165 --> 00:31:10,931
Sure it does.
It- It matters.
441
00:31:11,002 --> 00:31:13,596
Just that I love him.
442
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,606
But he knows.
My grandmama Fuller says so,
443
00:31:19,677 --> 00:31:23,078
and she knows everything.
444
00:31:23,147 --> 00:31:25,445
Laura?
What's the matter?
445
00:31:28,353 --> 00:31:31,447
SammyJo Fuller,
446
00:31:31,522 --> 00:31:34,616
I love you,
447
00:31:34,692 --> 00:31:37,320
and I want you to know
that everything's gonna be okay.
448
00:31:46,204 --> 00:31:48,468
Where are you goin'?
449
00:31:48,539 --> 00:31:53,499
I'm gonna go tell your grandmama
that it's okay to remember.
450
00:32:08,493 --> 00:32:10,085
Sam.
Al.
451
00:32:10,161 --> 00:32:13,289
Wait a minute. You gotta take it easy
for a while. What are you talking about?
452
00:32:13,364 --> 00:32:16,231
I'm talking about
- Do you remember today in court when you were upset?
453
00:32:16,301 --> 00:32:20,032
Yeah. Well, Stanton had a mild seizure
in the waiting room at the same time.
454
00:32:20,104 --> 00:32:23,767
You seem to have a mental and physical
connection with him on this leap.
455
00:32:23,841 --> 00:32:25,900
I don't know why.
Okay, but I feel fine right now.
456
00:32:25,977 --> 00:32:27,911
If you wanna have a massive coronary,
that's okay.
457
00:32:27,979 --> 00:32:32,006
But Ziggy says if not, you gotta take it
easy and keep Stanton's medicine next to you.
458
00:32:32,083 --> 00:32:34,881
My advice is maybe you shouldjust
take it easy for a while.
459
00:32:34,953 --> 00:32:37,615
The only way I can find out the
truth is to talk to Laura. Okay?
460
00:32:37,689 --> 00:32:39,623
I gotta talk to her.
461
00:32:43,962 --> 00:32:47,022
Hello, Laura.
You don't know me.
462
00:32:47,098 --> 00:32:51,626
My name is Larry Stanton,
and I'm here to help your daughter.
463
00:32:51,703 --> 00:32:54,137
Abagail?
464
00:32:54,205 --> 00:32:55,866
Yes.
465
00:32:57,208 --> 00:32:59,142
Is Abagail in trouble?
466
00:32:59,210 --> 00:33:01,542
Yes, she is.
467
00:33:01,612 --> 00:33:06,072
Well, that's why she hasn't
been to see me in a long time.
468
00:33:06,150 --> 00:33:08,914
She's in very bad trouble,
469
00:33:08,987 --> 00:33:14,357
and she needs for you to remember
something from the past.
470
00:33:14,425 --> 00:33:17,826
No. I don't have to remember.
471
00:33:17,895 --> 00:33:20,329
It's just a bad dream.
472
00:33:20,398 --> 00:33:24,198
When I wake up, it'll all be gone away.
473
00:33:24,268 --> 00:33:26,202
That's what Mama used to say.
474
00:33:26,270 --> 00:33:30,206
Uh, Sam, no.
She's not firing on all six cylinders.
475
00:33:30,274 --> 00:33:33,243
She's all I've got.
I know, but if she testifies,
476
00:33:33,311 --> 00:33:36,212
Denton Waters will
have her declared non compos mentis.
477
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,010
All I need her to remember is what
happened the night Violet disappeared.
478
00:33:39,083 --> 00:33:41,017
That's it, Al.
I know.
479
00:33:41,085 --> 00:33:44,054
But if they think she's crazy,
then they'll disqualify her testimony.
480
00:33:44,122 --> 00:33:46,056
I remember you.
481
00:33:50,194 --> 00:33:52,492
You were here...
482
00:33:55,033 --> 00:33:57,126
a very long time ago.
483
00:33:57,201 --> 00:33:59,761
You were gonna marry my Abagail.
484
00:33:59,837 --> 00:34:03,295
But you didn't. You went away.
Well, you broke her heart, you know.
485
00:34:03,374 --> 00:34:08,038
I think you've mistaken
me for someone else. No.
486
00:34:08,112 --> 00:34:12,572
I've been waiting for you
for a very long time.
487
00:34:12,650 --> 00:34:14,641
Very long time.
488
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,416
Clayton said that you'd come.
489
00:34:18,489 --> 00:34:22,619
And then,
I'd have to tell about Violet.
490
00:34:22,693 --> 00:34:26,959
- Bingo!
- Clayton- He knew that.
491
00:34:39,377 --> 00:34:42,642
She wanted that locket so much.
492
00:34:42,713 --> 00:34:46,114
So very, very much.
493
00:34:47,852 --> 00:34:49,786
Clayton wouldn't let her have it,
494
00:34:49,854 --> 00:34:52,288
but I kept it.
495
00:34:53,591 --> 00:34:56,754
I kept it and all of its secrets.
496
00:35:06,871 --> 00:35:09,362
Oh, God.
497
00:35:20,618 --> 00:35:24,179
Laura came to court that morning
with the support ofher doctor,
498
00:35:24,255 --> 00:35:27,281
who said her confinement
had been self-inflicted for years.
499
00:35:27,358 --> 00:35:29,792
She said Clayton had forbidden her
to tell her story.
500
00:35:29,861 --> 00:35:33,297
But today, after 25 years,
she told.
501
00:35:33,364 --> 00:35:37,357
I was trying to buy candles...
502
00:35:37,435 --> 00:35:40,370
fore the storm,
503
00:35:40,438 --> 00:35:42,668
but the general store was closed.
504
00:35:42,740 --> 00:35:48,508
Everybody had gone home
to lash their windows and cellars.
505
00:35:48,579 --> 00:35:53,573
Then I saw Violet
walking across the town square.
506
00:35:53,651 --> 00:35:57,052
She was upset.
She was angry and crying,
507
00:35:57,121 --> 00:36:00,181
and there was blood on her face...
508
00:36:00,258 --> 00:36:02,556
and on her little white sweater.
509
00:36:02,627 --> 00:36:05,721
I ran to her
to see if she was all right.
510
00:36:05,796 --> 00:36:10,563
But before I could say much,
she started screaming at me about Abagail.
511
00:36:10,635 --> 00:36:15,868
She said Abagail was mean and crazy
and that she had hit her.
512
00:36:15,940 --> 00:36:18,773
I tried to calm her-
513
00:36:20,845 --> 00:36:23,006
calm her down,
514
00:36:24,482 --> 00:36:28,543
but she said she was gonna
go tell her mama.
515
00:36:28,619 --> 00:36:31,611
Violet was glad
that Abagail had hit her...
516
00:36:31,689 --> 00:36:34,852
because now everybody would know
that Abagail was crazy...
517
00:36:34,926 --> 00:36:37,258
and they would lock her away forever.
518
00:36:37,328 --> 00:36:41,697
I pleaded with her,
but she ran away.
519
00:36:41,766 --> 00:36:47,432
I ran after her and I-I grabbed her.
520
00:36:47,505 --> 00:36:50,030
I was trying to talk to her.
521
00:36:50,107 --> 00:36:55,443
She was in a rage,
and she tore herself from my hands.
522
00:36:55,513 --> 00:36:57,572
She fell away from me,
523
00:36:57,648 --> 00:37:01,550
and she fell through the old planks
that covered the well.
524
00:37:01,619 --> 00:37:05,521
I reached out for her,
525
00:37:05,590 --> 00:37:10,653
but I only caught the little gold locket
that was around her neck.
526
00:37:10,728 --> 00:37:14,061
It broke.
The chain snapped.
527
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,964
Violet was gone.
528
00:37:20,137 --> 00:37:22,731
She's gone.
529
00:37:22,807 --> 00:37:26,834
You expect the court to believe
that Violet's death was an accident?
530
00:37:26,911 --> 00:37:29,402
And that Bart Aider
had a heart attack.
531
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,914
- Mr. Waters?
- I object.
532
00:37:31,983 --> 00:37:36,613
Counsel is trying to take a woman who's
been institutionalized for 20 years...
533
00:37:36,687 --> 00:37:39,349
and get her to take
the responsibility for all of'em.
534
00:37:39,423 --> 00:37:41,914
And Leta-
Did you kill Leta Aider too?
535
00:37:41,993 --> 00:37:46,225
Mr. Waters, you will have a chance
to cross-examine the witness.
536
00:37:46,297 --> 00:37:50,529
Laura, did you kill Leta Aider?
537
00:37:50,601 --> 00:37:53,866
No.
538
00:37:53,938 --> 00:37:58,966
Order in this court.! One more such eruption,
and I will have this courtroom cleared.
539
00:37:59,043 --> 00:38:02,877
Mr. Stanton, just where is
this line of questioning leading?
540
00:38:02,947 --> 00:38:06,348
I wanna prove to the court
that Abagail Fuller...
541
00:38:06,417 --> 00:38:11,684
was innocent of the history that this town has
branded her with for the past 25 years, Your Honor.
542
00:38:11,756 --> 00:38:14,782
And-
543
00:38:14,859 --> 00:38:17,555
Now, I would like to...
544
00:38:19,463 --> 00:38:21,397
show the court why...
545
00:38:21,465 --> 00:38:26,129
she didn't kill Leta Aider.
546
00:38:26,203 --> 00:38:30,230
Sam, uh-
Yeah, take one of your pills.
547
00:38:34,645 --> 00:38:37,375
Counselor, are you all right?
548
00:38:46,223 --> 00:38:48,487
- I'm gonna put her on the stand.
- What for?
549
00:38:48,559 --> 00:38:52,154
Your Honor, I would like to call
Abagail... Fuller to the stand.
550
00:38:52,229 --> 00:38:56,063
But Mr. Waters hasn't had a chance
to cross-examine this witness.
551
00:38:56,133 --> 00:38:59,000
He may not have to, Your Honor,
if you let me bring her on the stand.
552
00:38:59,070 --> 00:39:01,004
I don't wanna cross-examine her.
553
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,063
I want her testimony
stricken from the record...
554
00:39:03,140 --> 00:39:05,506
and declared non compos mentis.!
555
00:39:05,576 --> 00:39:08,010
I know who killed Leta Aider,
Your Honor.
556
00:39:08,079 --> 00:39:10,070
- You do?
- Objection!
557
00:39:10,147 --> 00:39:13,014
Please, Your Honor.
I won't be wasting the court's time.
558
00:39:13,084 --> 00:39:17,020
- Let me put Abagail Fuller on the stand.
- Overruled.
559
00:39:17,088 --> 00:39:18,680
Counselor, call your witness.
560
00:39:18,756 --> 00:39:22,214
The defense calls...
561
00:39:22,293 --> 00:39:24,227
Abagail Fuller.
562
00:39:24,295 --> 00:39:28,254
Ms. Fuller, you may step down.
Bailiff will show you where to sit.
563
00:39:33,237 --> 00:39:35,228
Just tell the truth.
564
00:39:36,774 --> 00:39:40,471
Do you-state your name-
Sam, do you know what you're doing?
565
00:39:40,544 --> 00:39:42,512
Swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth,
566
00:39:42,580 --> 00:39:44,605
and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?
567
00:39:44,682 --> 00:39:47,276
I do.
568
00:39:50,988 --> 00:39:53,718
Miss Fuller, would you be kind enough
to tell to the court...
569
00:39:53,791 --> 00:39:57,784
the events that transpired
the afternoon of May the 15th...
570
00:39:57,862 --> 00:39:59,887
when you returned home?
571
00:39:59,964 --> 00:40:03,798
I came home at about 3:15.
I had just been to the grocery store.
572
00:40:03,868 --> 00:40:08,237
My arms were full, so I entered the house
and went straight back to the kitchen.
573
00:40:08,305 --> 00:40:09,897
And what did you see in the kitchen?
574
00:40:09,974 --> 00:40:14,035
It was torn up.
There were broken dishes...
575
00:40:14,111 --> 00:40:18,070
and food thrown on the walls
like someone had a tantrum.
576
00:40:18,149 --> 00:40:20,174
And what else did you see?
577
00:40:21,318 --> 00:40:23,718
Blood.
578
00:40:23,788 --> 00:40:28,657
There was a... large pool of blood.
579
00:40:28,726 --> 00:40:32,856
Whose blood?
Leta Aider's.
580
00:40:32,930 --> 00:40:34,864
I didn't see her body at first.
581
00:40:34,932 --> 00:40:37,366
Then I walked around the table,
and she was there.
582
00:40:37,435 --> 00:40:39,630
And where was the knife, Abagail?
583
00:40:39,703 --> 00:40:42,433
Do you remember where the knife was
in relationship to the body?
584
00:40:42,506 --> 00:40:45,168
Right near Leta, I guess.
585
00:40:45,242 --> 00:40:48,507
Um, a few inches away
from the body.
586
00:40:48,579 --> 00:40:51,013
And, uh, then what happened?
587
00:40:52,283 --> 00:40:55,275
I was afraid to move.
588
00:40:58,088 --> 00:41:01,182
I wanted to cry out for help,
but I couldn't.
589
00:41:01,258 --> 00:41:04,386
So you didn't call the police,
590
00:41:04,462 --> 00:41:09,559
you didn't call the doctors, or-
591
00:41:09,633 --> 00:41:12,397
When I looked up,
Bo was standing at the backdoor.
592
00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:16,031
Bo was at the backdoor
because somebody had called him?
593
00:41:16,106 --> 00:41:21,703
He said someone said they heard a woman
screaming from my house and called it in.
594
00:41:25,115 --> 00:41:27,982
- What are these?
- Bills.
595
00:41:28,052 --> 00:41:31,021
Sam, do you know where
you're going with this?
596
00:41:31,088 --> 00:41:35,320
- Counsel is wasting the court's time.
- Please, Your Honor.
597
00:41:35,392 --> 00:41:37,883
Mr. Waters.
598
00:41:37,962 --> 00:41:42,023
I'd like you to open
your phone bill from May...
599
00:41:42,099 --> 00:41:44,158
and see if you recognize
any of the phone numbers...
600
00:41:44,235 --> 00:41:47,671
that were dialed on
the afternoon of the 15th.
601
00:41:52,209 --> 00:41:55,269
Oakdell-65234.
That's the sheriff's office.
602
00:41:55,346 --> 00:41:57,405
And what time was that call made?
603
00:41:59,583 --> 00:42:02,746
2:53.
A full 22 minutes before you got home.
604
00:42:02,820 --> 00:42:04,685
Objection.!
605
00:42:04,755 --> 00:42:06,985
You have no proof that
she wasn't there earlier.
606
00:42:07,057 --> 00:42:11,551
I have a store full of people and the time
it takes to get from there to her home.
607
00:42:11,629 --> 00:42:14,029
Objection overruled.
608
00:42:14,098 --> 00:42:17,363
On May 15, 1978,
609
00:42:17,434 --> 00:42:20,870
as Mr. Waters told us yesterday,
610
00:42:20,938 --> 00:42:24,237
the day that he explained
to Mrs. Aider...
611
00:42:24,308 --> 00:42:28,108
that based on Louisiana statutes
for the protection of minors,
612
00:42:28,178 --> 00:42:31,238
she had no case
against Abagail Fuller.
613
00:42:31,315 --> 00:42:36,912
Even though they had found the bones of her
daughter, Violet, at the bottom of a well,
614
00:42:36,987 --> 00:42:38,978
she had no case.
615
00:42:39,056 --> 00:42:40,717
Can you imagine how she felt?
616
00:42:40,791 --> 00:42:45,057
After 25 years of waiting and hoping...
617
00:42:45,129 --> 00:42:49,657
and praying for
some shred of proof to turn up...
618
00:42:49,733 --> 00:42:52,065
that could verify what
she had believed all along,
619
00:42:52,136 --> 00:42:57,403
it finally turns up,
and she is told that it doesn't matter.
620
00:42:59,310 --> 00:43:02,108
I believe that at that point,
621
00:43:02,179 --> 00:43:05,740
Leta Aider became incensed.
622
00:43:05,816 --> 00:43:10,014
And full of rage, she came to
Abagail's house to confront her.
623
00:43:10,087 --> 00:43:12,578
But Abagail was not there.
624
00:43:12,656 --> 00:43:17,787
And her rage and her frustration grew.
625
00:43:17,861 --> 00:43:23,800
She tore apart Abagail's kitchen
looking for some measure of revenge...
626
00:43:23,867 --> 00:43:28,167
to fill all the years of hatred
that had consumed her.
627
00:43:28,238 --> 00:43:32,538
And finally,
feeling she had no other recourse...
628
00:43:32,610 --> 00:43:35,943
and from some dark
and horrible place in her mind,
629
00:43:36,013 --> 00:43:38,777
she picked up
Abagail's kitchen knife,
630
00:43:38,849 --> 00:43:43,684
a knife that she knew would have
Abagail's fingerprints on it,
631
00:43:43,754 --> 00:43:47,781
Just like... Laura's mother.
632
00:43:47,858 --> 00:43:50,122
And she slit her own throat.
633
00:43:50,194 --> 00:43:51,957
Objection!
634
00:43:52,029 --> 00:43:54,293
This is unadulterated conjecture!
Order in this court.!
635
00:43:54,365 --> 00:43:57,801
- Bailiff, clear this courtroom!
- This is conjecture.!
636
00:43:57,868 --> 00:44:01,360
- This witness-
- I want order, and I want it now!
637
00:44:01,438 --> 00:44:04,202
Abagail Fuller murdered Leta Aider!
638
00:44:04,274 --> 00:44:07,402
No!
639
00:44:07,478 --> 00:44:10,311
I remember!
I remember!
640
00:44:10,381 --> 00:44:14,249
- Oh, SammyJo!
- I saw her!
641
00:44:14,318 --> 00:44:18,721
I saw her in the kitchen.!
I saw her when she-
642
00:44:21,825 --> 00:44:25,556
I was hiding because
I heard all the dishes breakin'.
643
00:44:27,631 --> 00:44:30,657
And then I came down the stairs
because it got quiet.
644
00:44:38,075 --> 00:44:40,566
I saw her
through the crack in the door.
645
00:44:40,644 --> 00:44:43,272
She was walking back and forth.
646
00:44:45,683 --> 00:44:50,848
And then she stopped,
and she picked up the kitchen knife.
647
00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:00,054
I object.!
This is preposterous.!
648
00:45:00,130 --> 00:45:02,860
I saw her!
I saw her do it!
649
00:45:02,933 --> 00:45:05,424
Sam, you changed history.
650
00:45:05,502 --> 00:45:08,562
That was just great.
You okay?
651
00:45:08,639 --> 00:45:10,630
Yeah.
652
00:45:14,211 --> 00:45:17,544
They gonna be all right, Al?
Yeah.
653
00:45:17,614 --> 00:45:21,345
Well, Ziggy says that since
SammyJo is carrying your genes...
654
00:45:21,418 --> 00:45:23,943
and now that you cleared Abagail,
the curse is broken.
655
00:45:24,021 --> 00:45:27,548
Um, Abagail gets married
in two years...
656
00:45:27,624 --> 00:45:30,923
to a wonderful guy,
and they move to Chicago.
657
00:45:30,994 --> 00:45:32,962
And she's happy, Sam.
She's really happy.
658
00:45:33,030 --> 00:45:35,760
How do you know all this?
659
00:45:35,833 --> 00:45:38,802
SammyJo told me.
660
00:45:38,869 --> 00:45:41,167
SammyJo?
661
00:45:41,238 --> 00:45:45,004
SammyJo is working with us
on Project Quantum Leap, Sam.
662
00:45:45,075 --> 00:45:46,667
What?
Yes.
663
00:45:46,744 --> 00:45:49,770
As a matter of fact, she has a theory
on how to bring you back home.
664
00:45:51,515 --> 00:45:53,915
Does she know I'm her father?
665
00:45:56,720 --> 00:45:58,654
No.
666
00:45:58,722 --> 00:46:02,818
And Ziggy says that after this leap,
you won't know either.
667
00:46:02,893 --> 00:46:04,952
I'll know, Al.
668
00:46:07,030 --> 00:46:09,999
I'll always know.
669
00:46:23,714 --> 00:46:25,705
You, uh-
670
00:46:27,351 --> 00:46:29,285
You take care of yourself, okay?
671
00:46:31,922 --> 00:46:34,083
I won't forget you.
672
00:46:46,870 --> 00:46:48,804
You heard me!
673
00:46:48,872 --> 00:46:51,363
Hands up!
674
00:46:51,441 --> 00:46:53,375
Everyone, stay calm.
675
00:46:53,443 --> 00:46:56,742
We'll get this over with
and be on our way.
676
00:46:56,814 --> 00:46:59,578
Keep me covered while I shut the blinds.
677
00:47:02,953 --> 00:47:05,683
Don't fall apart on me now, little brother.
678
00:47:11,328 --> 00:47:13,319
Oh, boy.
679
00:47:13,369 --> 00:47:17,919
