The Chamber Page #3

my client or you will be dead in 28 days.

We're all a bit taken aback at how huge

this case has suddenly become.

What's so huge about it?

I know the Clarion-Ledger

is not the Chicago Tribune,

but in our small pond, it's everything.

I'm lost.

Certainly you've seen today's paper?

Thanks very much,

this will be just fine.

Let us know if we can do

anything more for you.

Why do you want the right to end

my representation without a fight?

It took me a long time to fire

those Jew bastards last time.

I don't want to go through that again.

- That's reasonable.

- I don't care if you think so or not.

It's in the agreement

and it's non-negotiable.

Moving right along.

"No clemency" is ridiculous.

If the appeal fails, we'll have to go to

Governor McAllister as a last resort.

To preclude clemency would be suicidal.

If I could take David McAllister

into the chamber with me,

I'd die with a smile.

I was tried, I was retried,

I got a hung jury both times.

I was a free man for 12 years.

And then that sleazy

son of a b*tch McAllister

used me to get hisself elected.

No deals with the governor.

Fine.

All right.

Why did you become a Klansman?

- Because my daddy was in the Klan.

- Why did he become a Klansman?

- His daddy was in the Klan.

- Great. Three generations?

No, four. Colonel Jacob Cayhall fought

with Nathan Bedford Forrest in the war.

And family legend has it that he was

one of the first members of the Klan.

So, let me see. I guess that makes him

your great-great-great-granddaddy.

- Do you expect me to feel proud about it?

- I don't give a damn.

I'm just telling you who you are.

Isn't that why you're here?

The Kramer twins was the fifth bombing.

What about the Jackson real estate office?

I lost my virginity on that one.

It was crude - just some sticks and a fuse.

- The newspaper office?

- Real fireball.

- The Hirsch Temple?

- Best one yet.

The Kramer office?

It was a good bomb.

- But I never meant to kill anybody.

- Really?

You bombed the Pinder house at 4 a.m.,

with six people there.

But nobody got hurt

because I put the bomb in the garage.

I don't make fancy bombs.

They're simple little things.

But I know where to put them.

I never meant to kill anybody.

And the twins?

- Casualties of war.

- The father losing his legs?

- Killing himself?

- I don't want to talk about this.

Are you hiding something from me?

- I wouldn't advise it.

- I got nothing to hide.

I did what I had to do.

The Klan was at war.

We would've won,

but we started bombing the Jews

and with all their money

they got the FBI and they beat us.

We should've just stayed

whipping up on the n*ggers.

World would've been a different place.
