"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." "Libby:" "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?" "[Jeff sneezes]" "Get me out of here." "Jeff:" "Dad!" "Libby:" "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." "Rick:" "Make sure you take your benadryl." "[Sneezes]" "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."

"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."

"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." "Konnie:" "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." "[Weeping] Son of a bitch."

"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." "Rick:" "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." "Rick:" "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." "[Ringing]" "Woman:" "Hello?" "Hey, diane." "It's rick magruder for judge russo." "Hi, darling." "How are you?" "I'm good, thank you."

"I look forward to seeing you in court, mr." "Randle." "Bailiff:" "All rise!" "Bailiff:" "All rise!" "Be seated, please." "My calendar shows this is a competency hearing." "Are we ready to proceed?" "Yes, your honor." "Judge:" "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?" "Judge:" "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." "Judge:" "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." "Dr. 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." "Rick:" "Thank you, doctor." "Any questions, mr." "Doss?" "Judge:" "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." "Judge:" "Noted."

"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... [cheering and grunting]" "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." "Judge:" "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. 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." "Judge:" "That's enough!" "And you, and you, and you." "[Chuckles] 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!" "Doss:" "You... you ungrateful bitch!" "Judge... can i go?" "[Thunder]" "It's just paying bills, checking investments."

"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."

"They're down at the station." "Not a scratch on them." "Will you give me the gun now?" "Throw the gun down!" "Throw it down, clyde." "I will." "I killed doss." "Officer:" "Step over here!" "Now!" "Clyde:" "All right, come on, come on, bill!" "The kids are at the station, rick." "Someone dropped them off." "[Sirens]" "Get me the fire department." "Send me an ambulance." "I need some backup." "Get your hands up!" "Get your hands up!" "Lady, get your hands up!" "Step around to the front!" "Move!" "Clyde:" "Bill!" "Put your hands on the hood!" "It's all right, ma'am." "Easy on her, bill." "I know this lady." "Officer:" "Clyde, let us do our job." "Hey, that's what i'm doing, man." "She's good people, man." "Be nice to her." "Officer:" "Step back!" "Clyde:" "It's all right, ma'am." "Ma'am, who started this party?" "Mallory:" "I don't know." "When they saw he was dead," "They just started burning everything." "Just burning everything." "It's all right." "They just want to ask you a couple of questions." "Have a seat in there." "Watch your head." "Be careful with this guy." "He's a lawyer." "Put you behind bars first." "You all right, boss?" "Self-Defense?" "I'll see you at the station." "[Typing]" "Rick:" "He lifted the gun, he started to shoot." "You were trespassing." "And the daughter said he fired in the air." "If i waited to see where he was firing, i'd be dead." "I was scared." "I thought my kids were in danger." "But they weren't." "You know, the founding fathers" "Established the right to protect one's property" "And one's self... by force if necessary," "Even from lawyers." "And i don't have the right to protect my kids?" "They were found outside the station safe and sound," "Minutes after you all called me." "Somebody took them." "Somebody dropped them off." "They said so themselves." "That's right." "Somebody." "They said some tall guy with a beard" "And a ball cap and dirty clothes." "I could step outside and spit and hit 9 just like that." "Don't you think that's a little strange, sir?" "You tell me." "Rick:" "Somebody took my kids." "It's your job to find out who it was." "Either it was doss or one of his group." "They were in on this." "They broke him out of the state hospital." "I didn't know that carried a death penalty." "Doss came at me with a 12-Gauge shotgun." "So you thought you had to protect yourself?" "Yes, i did, sir." "But y'all never gave that same courtesy" "To officer watson down in jacksonville, did you?" "You put that guy up on the stand." "He was just trying to protect himself." "You punched holes the size of cow chips" "In a 20-Year career." "You got yourself" "In a whole bucket of shit here, magruder." "And if i were you," "I'd damn sure find myself a good lawyer." "Rick:" "I just want to see my kids." "Libby, crying:" "Daddy!" "Come on, now." "Where are my children?" "Are they all right?" "Yeah, the kids are just fine." "They're ok." "Thanks, lois." "Mommy." "[Sobbing]" "Ok, kids, hold it." "It's all right." "I'll tell you what." "How about i take you guys out to the car" "And we play some..." "Don't you tell my kids what to do." "I was just trying to help." "Can i talk to you, rick?" "The last thing you've ever been" "To them is a father." "And if i can't trust you to keep them safe," "So help me, i'll fight you tooth and nail" "For full custody with no visitation." "Don't do that, leeanne." "Please don't do that." "Oh, and do me a favor." "Keep your white-Trash tramps" "Away from my children," "And that drunk pervert, too." "Come on." "Let's go home, honey." "Say bye to your daddy." "See you." "Jeff:" "Bye, daddy." "Carl:" "Car's around to the right." "[Door closes]" "What else can we do?" "I'm gonna have to impound the car a couple days." "We need our fellas to go through it." "[Crying]" "You didn't actually see those kids" "Get in that car, did you?" "I don't know." "I thought i did." "I just saw everybody running." "Doesn't make sense." "What's that?" "Why doss or one of his buddies" "Would have taken my kids" "And then released them after an hour." "It wasn't the kids he was after." "He just wanted to use them as bait." "Rick:" "To get me on his property?" "That's right." "To kill you." "If your kid's in there, you're a loose cannon." "So then he has them dropped off at the police station?" "It makes kidnapping charges" "Harder to press," "And he's got you trespassing." "So how was i supposed to find his property?" "Those cabins were up 5 miles of unmarked dirt road." "Me." "But he didn't know you'd come." "The kids were taken before you arrived." "Clyde:" "Probably figured you'd call" "And she'd tell you how to get there." "Yeah." "What daddy didn't figure is i'd be with you." "And when he saw me, he hesitated." "That's when you shot him." "Man:" "We've got something." "What you got?" "Looks like a box of some kind." "Dunson:" "Well, rick, on the good side" "And under these circumstances," "You might not have to do any hard time." "You want to give me that again?" "If things go right," "You might not have to go to prison." "So what's the bad side?" "Even if you don't serve any time," "You're probably looking at disbarment." "Rick:" "Are you serious?" "I'm serious." "Listen, counselor." "You don't understand the gravity" "Of the situation." "I understand the gravity of the situation." "You don't understand the gravity" "Of the situation." "Because right here under standard 66..." "I know about standard 66." "Even if you plead no contest" "And serve no time," "You can still be disbarred." "I don't believe this!" "This crazy bastard kidnapped my children!" "Wait a minute, rick." "You violated the court order by taking your own children." "Has everybody here just lost their minds?" "Yeah, wait." "Let me clean it off first." "It's a metal box." "Rick, there's no evidence" "To connect doss to those photographs." "We gotta have something." "Or to mallory's car, or that he ever had the kids." "They were taken by somebody even they can't identify." "Here's how they're gonna present it." "You put the old man away." "I was set up!" "Anybody get that in their heads?" "I was set up!" "You went out to his property" "With a loaded weapon" "And you shot him." "And if that alone weren't enough..." "Yeah, what?" "That daughter is your client... rick:" "I know." "Who, rumor has it, you're sleeping with." "Now normally that wouldn't be any of my business." "It isn't any of your business." "But as your lawyer" "I'm obligated to tell you..." "You're not obligated to tell me stuff like that!" "It's certainly gonna raise some eyebrows." "Can you open it while i photograph it?" "Oh." "Clyde:" "Everything was charred up, rick." "Best they can make out," "It's probably doss'." "It's a pretty good shot" "That if there's a copy of the will," "There's also an original." "This is georgia." "They're held privately." "They're only probated if necessary," "So who else might have one?" "We could check the county." "You're gonna take forever doing that." "Mallory says her father's attorney committed suicide" "A few years back." "It's a real long shot, lois." "I don't know how much time we got here." "What's that gonna tell us?" "All he had was that old house and some land," "None of which amounts to much." "When's his estate hearing?" "It's tomorrow at 10:30." "Who's presiding?" "Judge cooper." "Ok, do it quietly" "And cash in a chip if you have to," "But we gotta have some more time" "Before we hand over this estate to miss doss." "What do y'all want me to do?" "Check county again." "Check anywhere" "Where doss and his daughter might have lived." "Just what am i looking for?" "I don't know." "Maybe something in the will." "One thing i know." "Doss was a hunter, right?" "He had a good clean shot at me." "So if he was waiting up there to kill me," "How come i'm not dead?" "Your land didn't register as much with the county" "'Cause there's nothing really taxable on it." "No roads, no improvements, limited access." "Yeah." "We know what's on the tax books," "But i don't get this." "What exactly is this worth?" "The land?" "Not much." "But the timber." "Yeah?" "Now, on this 2,000 acres" "Is 15 acres of black walnut." "But they can't tax it" "Until they cut it down" "And use it for income." "Black walnut?" "Isn't that kind of rare?" "And very valuable." "How valuable?" "Well, depending upon the density" "And the quality," "Between 10 and $15 million." "Counselor, i find it very difficult to believe" "That a man with these assets had no will," "No documentation of any kind, nothing." "Lois:" "Well, your honor," "The late mr." "Doss was mentally ill," "And he had a deep-Seated fear of attorneys." "Don't we all?" "Miss doss," "Given the circumstances," "I'm compelled by the law to appoint you" "As the administratrix of your daddy's estate." "Only before i do so," "I would like a full search and inventory" "Of all of his assets and papers" "Filed with this court within 30 days." "Do you understand?" "Yes, your honor." "Court's adjourned." "See you later." "Rick." "Mallory." "Hey." "I want to know what the hell's going on." "What do you mean?" "You had no idea" "Of the value of those trees?" "No, i didn't." "I don't care what they're worth." "I don't want any of it." "I'm supposed to buy that?" "I don't care what you buy or don't buy, rick," "But i'll tell you something else." "I hope there is a will somewhere," "And that he left the whole damn thing" "To those hillbillies." "Well, if not," "You'll always have that choice, won't you?" "Geraldo, the category 3 hurricane" "We thought had left for good is coming back." "Storm trackers now believe geraldo is aimed right at us." "If it continues to follow its current path," "Savannah is the center of the bull's-Eye." "[Siren]" "[Telephone rings]" "Yello." "Yeah, magruder." "You sitting down, partner?" "Why?" "Well, i was down at county as usual," "Running a cross-Ref on the old man," "Poof, the daughter's name come up" "On a marriage certificate" "Out of south carolina." "Well, it turns out" "Your girlfriend and pete randle..." "They aren't exactly husband and ex-Wife." "What are you saying?" "What did it sound like i'm saying?" "They never divorced." "They never even filed for divorce." "They're as married as married can be." "Whatever's hers is his." "Uh, the line is going." "You there?" "Rick?" "Yeah." "Yeah, i'm here." "I'm here." "Where are you now?" "You're at huey's bar, right?" "You know it." "How long will it take you to get to mallory's house?" "With the rain?" "About 20 minutes." "I'm heading over to huey's." "In 45 minutes i'm going to call mallory" "And give her the good news." "What good news?" "We found the will, clyde." "Wait." "I'm a step behind here, man." "Bait, clyde." "Let's see what we hook." "I want you to go to mallory's." "Park outside her house and wait." "10 to 1 she's gonna go for a drive when i talk to her." "You follow her." "You give me a call." "All right, boss man." "Hey, robin." "Robin, i gotta go do some work, ok?" "You got that $20 i gave you?" "Yes." "All right." "Pay your bill." "See you later." "Love you." "Love you." "Love you, too." "He ain't he ain't coming back." "Coming back." "Reporter:" "Death and debris." "Geraldo is here." "This is what the georgia coast looked like earlier today." "This is where we live." "[Telephone rings]" "[Ring]" "[Ring]" "Hello." "Hey, mallory, it's rick." "I want to apologize." "Very wrong, what i said," "And i'm sorry, real sorry." "What do you mean?" "We found the will." "We haven't had time to go into the details," "But it looks like you got your wish." "Your dad left everything to the group." "Are you there, mallory?" "That's great." "Well, i can get you the paperwork in a couple..." "[Mallory hangs up]" "[Dial tone]" "[Telephone rings]" "[Ring]" "Operator:" "The cellular unit you have called" "Is outside of the service zone." "Hang up and try your call again." "What?" "And those on the street right now" "Need to seek immediate shelter." "You done with this?" "Thanks." "What time is it, sara?" "Sara." "Give me the phone again." "[Telephone rings]" "I'll see you." "Reporter:" "Right now a lot of what you're hearing" "Is the generator from our live truck." "There isn't much electricity left." "It's far too dangerous to be on the streets." "Wherever you are now, stay there." "Clyde!" "Mallory!" "Clyde!" "Mallory!" "Anybody!" "Clyde!" "[Telephone rings]" "[Sirens]" "[Ring]" "[Ring]" "Hello." "Rick:" "Lois?" "Rick." "Thank god it's you." "Listen, we found a copy of the will" "In effingham county." "We should have started there." "And?" "[Phone line hums]" "Hello." "Oh, no." "Hello." "Hello, hello." "Lois!" "Lois:" "I thought i lost you." "Lois, what else you got?" "It's all hers, rick." "He left her everything." "And his!" "What's that?" "And his, too!" "Listen, keep trying to get ahold of clyde." "Try him on his cellular." "I'll call you later." "Ok." "Ok, bye, lois." "[Ring]" "[Ring]" "Come on, come on, clyde." "[Ringing]" "Ok, answer." "Come on, clyde, where are you?" "[Ringing]" "Come on, clyde." "[Ringing]" "[Cat meows]" "Aah!" "Aah!" "That was a good shot." "I had to." "He'd have killed you." "Lucky for me." "You know how to shoot these things off." "What do you do?" "We need some help here." "2 guys are dead." "[Click]" "[Click]" "Whatever you thought about your father," "You were wrong." "He left you everything." "You would have had it all." "That's a lie." "You son of a bitch." "You're lying to me!" "Bastard!" "Aah!" "[Mallory screaming]" "Let me out, damn you!" "[Seagulls crying]" "Lois:" "You know, mac," "It's a pretty lousy offer." "5 years, lose your license to practice," "Probation, a lot of community service." "I don't want to risk a trial, lois." "I got the kids to think about." "A little community service never hurt anybody." "You were used." "We could prove that." "Any way you cut it, lois, i still killed doss." "They can prove that." "Well, you thought he kidnapped your kids." "Yeah, but he didn't." "You haven't lost in 8 years, rick." "Well, maybe it's time i did"
