The Chamber Page #4

You can pretend

you're all offended by this.

But, deep down inside, we both know

there's a part of you that agrees with me.

That's bullshit.

Why are you getting so touchy?

- What are you hiding?

- I'm not hiding a thing.

Like hell you're not.

You're driving your car

and some drunk jungle bunny cuts you off,

his ghetto music blastin',

what do you think?

"Well, you darned African-American!"

No. You think, "N*gger."

If you had any guts, you'd say so.

I'm gonna come back tomorrow.

I hurt your little feelings, have I?

What did you expect to find here?

Old Grandpa Do-Good?

Expect me to go all blubbery,

kiss your behind

and sing psalms of forgiveness?

I don't know what I expected.

Sure you did... grandson.

Hi. I'm Nora Stark, Attorney Hall.

I kind of clean up

after Governor McAllister.

- Adam, please.

- Adam it shall be.

I'm very curious.

You know the same points raised in

the pending ineffective counsel petition

were turned down by Texas just last month?

Actually, I do know. But it's my opinion

that Texas is miles ahead of Mississippi

in many things, including stupidity.

I'm optimistic.

- Morning, Counsel.

- Morning, Your Honour.

This is a serious business.

Ultimate, irreversible punishment

of a fellow human.

Time is the purest gold.

When do you plan to file an appeal?

Oddly, I had planned on waiting

for the court to issue a ruling

before appealing it,

Your Honour.

However, if, as expected... Thursday?

- And the State's response?

- We agree.

Assuming you'll not be introducing

additional issues on this appeal...

Obviously not.

...Friday morning.

You'll have my decision Friday.

Can the court expect additional filings?

Are you asking me

my legal strategy, Your Honour?

Not at all, sir.

But I'm thrilled to know you have one.

Y'all are dismissed. Now.

Carl, Irene, how are you?

Adam!

Clemency?

Contractually bound not to ask.

You haven't, but you will.

You see, the governor's

a very open-minded man.

He's not precluding anything.

You becoming a lawyer

must have made Sam proud.

You should be familiar

with his view of the profession.

I'd just as soon keep this discussion

on the issue and off the record.

I believe you're reconsidering

the state-sanctioned murder of my client.

- Adam, would you mind?

- No, sir.

I am obviously extremely proud

to have won a conviction

where two previous prosecutors have failed.

While I have no doubt

Sam Cayhall is guilty as charged,

I've always doubted he acted alone

and as you know, he's never been inclined

to help himself in that regard.

What exactly are you saying?

- Is there something specific you know?

- No, certainly not.

I just wanna make sure justice is served.
