it could've been Warren Perry?

If you'd just sit still

for five minutes,

you would know that it was

Nathan redfield that did this.

It's because Nathan

is your friend

and because he has

all the money in the world

that you don't want

to do anything about it.

Go! Go!!

If you could've brought me

some proof,

little piece of something

i can tag in a courtroom,

I might consider it,

but if I took this on now,

I'd be making a fool of you

and myself to boot.

He got to you first.

Ms. Larkin, I handle cp&m.

But Nathan, he don't even

speak to me on the street.

And how would he know you were

coming over here anyway?

- 'Cause Ted hale told you.

- Grandma.

Mr. darrish was real nice

in listening to us,

but he can't help.

And we are not to take up

any more of his time.

Thank you,

Mr. darrish.

I really appreciate you

listening to us.

Anytime.

I suspected

you wouldn't help us,

so I called a lawyer

in pensacola.

- Grandma!

- Really, who?

Warren Perry's cousin,

Henry harp.

He's taking us

to supper this evening.

Nathan.

You all right?

Yeah, let's go to my office.

Have a seat there.

I'm more than a little

surprised you asked me here.

We're family.

Joe, listen...

I've been having dealings

with some oil people

for the past year.

They've been after daddy to

drill on some land that we own,

but daddy's

been putting them off.

And it's starting to look like

that we're about

to be passed by.

Now, I was down there

in mobile having dinner

with a couple of these men,

and I had saw

where they had marked the land

of the most likely places.

Now, we own gosh knows

how many thousands of acres,

but the land

that they most interested in

was right along the sticks.

Have they gone

to the Larkins yet?

No. No.

I put them off that.

Evelyn Larkin is gonna lose

the farm right soon.

If not this summer,

the next.

And I want to make sure that

that land comes to the bank.

Evelyn Larkin came to me

this afternoon.

She wants me to prosecute you

for that murder.

Yeah, I know, hale told me.

But I don't take it personal.

I mean, god bless her,

she's under a lot of strain.

Which is all the more reason

that we gotta get her out.

We got to be

double careful here.

She's... she's off to see

a lawyer this evening

in pensacola, some relative

of Warren Perry's.

Warren Perry?

Of course.

He more likely killed that girl.

He's just trying to put

the attention off himself.

You know and I know

there's no lawyer

gonna find something

to put this on you.

But if this guy in pensacola,

he smells green blood in you,

he can make you some trouble.

When we get back...

We're gonna have the man

arrested that did this to you.
