8 INT. FLORIDA NIGHTCLUB - MEN'S ROOM - NIGHT 8
Drunk frat boys laughing as they exit. A BAR BAND in the
distance. Kevin done pissing. Moving for the sink, when he suddenly stops. Freezes. A mirror above the sink.
There he is. The guy that set Gettys free.
HEATH (O.S.)
Mr. Lomax?
Kevin turns -- Leamon Heath standing beside him.
HEATH:
Helluva job today.
(quickly presenting
his card)
I didn't want to disturb your
party.
KEVIN:
Milton, Chadwick, Waters. Never
heard of it.
(looking up)
What're you gonna do? Sue me?
HEATH:
Actually, we were hoping to retain your services. We've been
following your progress.
KEVIN:
From New York.
HEATH:
You've never lost a case.
KEVIN:
I've had some sympathetic juries.
HEATH:
That's exactly what we're looking for. We want you to come to New York. Help us pick a jury.
KEVIN:
Really.
(amused now)
I'll tell you, man. You're pretty damn good. And the card is great.
And the black thing -- you being black -- whose idea was that?
Paul's? 'Cause that's just brilliant.
(as he's walking)
I'm just not drunk enough yet to fall for it.

You'd have to start next week.
(waiting as Kevin

Here. Take a look.
Kevin takes the check. Still looking at it, as we -
CUT TO:
9 EXT. FLORIDA CINDERBLOCK CHURCH - DAY 9
Two dozen cars parked. MUSIC and SINGING from inside. A
sign reads:
"SEMINOLE CALVARY CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER"
10 INT. FLORIDA CINDERBLOCK CHURCH - DAY 10
Inside the church. Plain and functional. Poor but
faithful. A trio -- electric guitar, accordion,
tambourine -- playing a hymn. Forty-five voices raised
in song. The tempo is ragged and the pitch shaky, but
the feeling is strong. They mean it.
The CAMERA FINDS -- MRS. LOMAX. Kevin's mother. Forty- six.
Singing her heart out. A woman with faith, in the
presence of her Lord.
The CAMERA FINDS -- Kevin. In the very back. Standing
in the doorway. Halfway in. Halfway out. Shadow.
Light. Waiting.
CUT TO:
11 EXT. FLORIDA CHURCH PARKING LOT - DAY 11
Post-service. Mrs. Lomax and Kevin walking to her car.
KEVIN:
It's two weeks at most.
MRS. LOMAX
You've never been to New York.

Every dog gets a day.
MRS. LOMAX
Pick a jury...
(ridiculous)
I feel the hand of Mary Ann on this adventure.
