unless you're
being paid for it.

1:08:04
Like they say in the army,
''No money, no honey.''

1:08:07
No, that's not true.
1:08:09
Are you aware that in Hatcher County
it's against the law...

1:08:11
for a psychic to set up shop
and charge people money ?

1:08:13
Well, I don't charge money.
1:08:15
You just testified
that you do charge money.

1:08:17
No. I accept donations.
People give me gifts.

1:08:21
Oh. A distinction
worthy of a lawyer.

1:08:25
Mrs. Wilson,
you a rich woman ?

1:08:28
- No.
- Why not ?

1:08:30
If I had psychic powers and could
read the future, I'd be filthy rich.

1:08:35
I'd be playing
the Stock Market.

1:08:37
I'd be over in Mobile
betting on the dogs.

1:08:40
I'd certainly warn my husband
not to go to work...

1:08:42
on the day I know the Reinhold
Plant's gonna blow up...

1:08:45
leaving three little ol' children
to be raised in a carnival sideshow.

1:08:49
Well, it doesn't work
that way, sir.

1:08:53
I can't use my gift
for personal gain.

1:08:55
Except for those, uh,
what you call 'em, donations ?

1:09:04
You've had some personal trouble
with Donnie Barksdale, haven't you ?

1:09:13
Yes, I have.
1:09:15
Just a few weeks ago, you told him--
I believe the exact words was...

1:09:18
you was gonna have
his ass thrown in jail.

1:09:21
- But he was threatening my kids.
- Ain't it also true...

1:09:23
that a few weeks ago in one of
those famous readings of yours,

1:09:26
when you were doing
your so-called E.S.P.,

1:09:28
you told Valerie Barksdale,
Donnie's wife,

1:09:31
that Donnie was just
an insecure redneck...

1:09:33
and that he wasn't really
crazy enough to kill anybody ?

1:09:43
Yes, I did say that.
1:09:45
Then why today are you
saying he did kill somebody ?

1:09:47
Wait a second.
I've never said that.

1:09:49
You might as well have, ma'am.
You wanted his ass in jail.

1:09:52
-He's on trial for his life.
-I just told the sheriff what I saw.

1:09:55
And how could any of us
ever forget that ?
