with those little rats of hers.

-Wait. I'll drive you.

-No!

I mean, no. I mean...

...you don't have to. I had

the best time, but I really gotta go.

I'll call you as soon as I can.

Hey, you!

I'll give you a hundred--

Norman! Oh, my God!

Get me the hell out of here.

I'll take you wherever you wanna go.

That's what I been waiting for.

24 hours, 7 days a week. I'm at your

service. All you gotta do is ask.

Wherever you wanna go, I'm ready.

Gassed up and at your service.

The wind's at our backs.

We're sailing now.

Hey, Norman, did you follow me

to that party?

Yes, ma'am.

I've been following you

since the minute I saw you.

Yeah, I figured sooner or later

you were bound to need a ride.

Boy, you left that place

in an awful hurry, huh?

No questions, Norman.

Yes, ma'am.

Drive north.

North, yes.

Yes, ma'am.

This is the place.

The Golden Gate Bridge?

Can I go with you?

No questions, Norman.

Admit it, Lucille.

You can't throw me away.

You ain't got the guts.

You need me.

You ain't nothing without me.

That used to be true,

but not anymore.

That's deep enough.

Sh*t! The money!

Goddamn it! Son of a b*tch!

Sh*t!

Don't do it!

-There's too much to live for!

-Officer, I'm not trying to--

Not until I get some backup.

I wasn't trying to jump, you idiot!

Sorry. You know what?

See that bag over there?

There's a bunch of money in there.

Just take it and let me go.

What do we got?

-She tried to go over.

-I wasn't trying to jump.

Don't take your hands off her.

They always try again.

No, I'm not gonna try it.

Listen, I won all this money.

Big money, Frank.

I won that money in Las Vegas, and I

was standing here and it fell over.

That's why I climbed over.

-That something of yours?

-I beg your pardon?

Is that something of yours?

No. I've never seen that before

in my whole life.

Please just let me go,

officer, really.

Thank God!

Oh, my God!

Thank God, you're all right.

I couldn't let you go through

with this.

What the hell...?

Joe!

Are you all right?

Bye, Chester.

I've come here to take custody

of this dangerous fugitive.

She won't hurt anybody else.

Welcome home, Aunt Lucille.

Lucille, do you feel remorse?

Why'd you do it?

-It's good to be home.

-Did you confess?

I didn't do anything wrong.

-You're not guilty?

-No.

-Where did you get the money?

-I got lucky in Las Vegas.

Do you think you're crazy?

No. I was crazy to be with him

all those years.

She'll answer your questions

at the trial.

Hello, Lucille.

Hello, sheriff.

I saw your picture in Look.

They didn't do you any favours.

No, but I been looking for you.

Get back!

Hey, Peejoe! Hey, Wiley!

That was so sweet of y'all to come

and see me. How are my babies?

They're coming tomorrow. You okay?

I am fabulous!

Come and see me in jail.

Here comes Uncle Chester.

That's him.

I don't suppose there's any reason

to open it, is there?

I wouldn't.

Sister?

Sister Vinson?

I don't know who you are,

but I'm not your sister.

My name is Nehemiah Jackson.

Your brother and I are colleagues.

I run the other funeral home.

I read about....

I mean, I'm real sorry

to hear about your son.

Thank you.

You know...

...Dove is a good man.

He's done me many a favour.

And I just want you to know

I'm sorry for your trouble.

We'll be gone free tomorrow, and if

there's anything I can do for you....

No. Thank you.

I mean, unless you have

something to eat. I'm so hungry.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I suppose it must be a terrible thing

to kill somebody.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend it.

I don't believe I could bring myself

to do that...

...though I've thought

about it sometimes.

Well, it's a long story, you know?

I just didn't see any other way out.

There's always some other way.

No, not with Chester.

Yes, ma'am.

But did you really have to do

what you did?

I bet that you've always been

really kind to your wife...

...haven't you, Mr. Jackson?

I try to be.

Well, then, you couldn't

possibly understand.

Oh, sister...

...I know what it's like to be

held down and kept down.

Believe me, I know.

Yeah, I imagine you do.

Well...

...I hope you sleep well.

Thank you. You too.

Good night, all.

God bless you.

And God bless Martin Luther King!

And our enemies too.

So that's how it works.

Peter Joseph and I stay away

from the grand jury...

...and John Doggett will help you out.

He helps me out? How?

He can get the D.A. to go along

with a plea of temporary insanity.

So you want me to say that I'm crazy?

They'll believe you're crazy.

Did I tell you that you look

very much like Errol Flynn...

...with that patch on your eye?

It makes you very dashing.

Thanks.

I'm sorry you got caught.

That's all right.

It was fun while it lasted.

-You should've got rid of his head.

-Yeah, I know.

I guess that I just wanted him...

...to see that I could do it.

He talked to me sometimes.

I wasn't trying to jump off

that bridge.

I was trying to shut him up

once and for all.

He talked to you?

He talked to me.

He gave me a hard time...

...just like when he was alive.

We're going with

a temporary-insanity plea.

You mean we're not talking

to the grand jury?

No, we're gonna start living

like everybody else in this town.

This is none of our business.

It's Aunt Lucille, ain't it?

You made a deal with the sheriff.

He lets her go,

and we have to shut up.

She's family.

She is my baby sister,

and I'm not gonna let them kill her.

But you said we can stop him!

You said we could put him in jail!

-Careful, Peejoe.

-I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

We stuck our necks out too far.

Hey, over here, Marlon.

Down here.

Down here. It's Mama.

Come on. Come here.

Marlon, down here.

-Mama?

-Come here, my babies.

My God, Marlon.

I swear you've grown a foot!

Oh, my babies, I missed you so much!

Oh, my God!

Sondra, you taking care

of Marilyn for me?

Yeah, Mama, I have.

You, Rock.

Let me see your muscles.

I love you all so much. Thank you

so much for bringing my babies here.

Go to Uncle Dove's and get

a good night's sleep...

...and I'll see you in the morning.

-Go on, you guys. Go on, now.

-Okay, Mama.

I love you. I love you.

Good night!

-Love you, Mama.

-Bye, sweetie.

All rise.

The Superior Court of Cotton County...

...in the state of Alabama

is now in session.

The Honorable

Judge Lewis Mead presiding.

Please be seated and come to order.

Would you please rise?

Mrs. Vinson, I told you

at the arraignment...

...that you cannot enter a plea

of not guilty by reason of sanity.

But, Your Honour, I am not guilty

and I was not insane.

Am I to take it that you'll

continue with this plea...

...in spite of your legal advisers...

...and my opinion about it?

Is that true?

You're gonna stick with it?

Your Honour, they've all

gotten together on this deal.

They want me to say I'm crazy...

...so they can pack me off

to the loony bin.

To a loony bin.

Then I have to stick with what I got.

Okay. C'est la vie.
