John Coffey.
1:07:03
Coffey.
1:07:05
Causing you problems?
1:07:06
Can't say he is. He doesn't like
the dark and cries on occasion. . .
1:07:10
. . .but other than that. . . .
1:07:12
He cries, does he?
Got a lot to cry about, I'd say.
1:07:15
You know what he did.
1:07:17
I read the court transcript.
1:07:20
Thank you, missus.
1:07:21
My pleasure.
1:07:24
Kids!
1:07:25
Lunch is about ready.
Y'all come on up.
1:07:27
Coming, Mama!
1:07:28
What exactly are you
trying to find out?
1:07:32
I wonder if he did anything
like that before.
1:07:36
Why? Has he said anything?
1:07:38
No, but a man who does
a thing like that. . .
1:07:41
. . .has often developed a taste for it
over time. It occurred to me. . .
1:07:45
. . .that it might be easy enough to
follow his back trail. Find out.
1:07:49
A man his size, and colored to boot,
can't be that hard to trace.
1:07:53
You'd think so, but you'd be wrong.
1:07:56
Believe me, we tried.
1:07:59
Like he'd dropped out of the sky.
1:08:02
How can that be?
1:08:04
We're in a depression.
A third of the country's out of work.
1:08:08
People are drifting by the thousands,
looking for jobs, for greener grass.
1:08:12
Even a giant like Coffey
wouldn't get noticed everywhere.
1:08:16
Not until he kills
a couple of little girls.
1:08:19
He is. . .
1:08:21
. . .strange, I admit.
1:08:23
But there doesn't seem to be
any real violence in him.
1:08:28
I know violent men, Mr. Hammersmith.
1:08:30
I deal with them day in and day out.
1:08:34
You didn't come to ask me
whether he killed before.
1:08:36
You came to see if I think
he did it at all.
1:08:41
Do you?
1:08:43
One seldom sees a less ambiguous case.
1:08:46
He was found with the victims
in his arms.
1:08:48
And yet you defended him.
1:08:50
Everyone is entitled to a defense.
1:08:53
Kids! Lunch!
1:08:55
Y'all listen to your mama!
