The Practice (1997–2004): Season 8, Episode 6 - The Lonely People - full transcript
BERLUTI:
Previously on "The Practice"
NANCY: The kids aren't yours.
They're Richard's.
Nancy.
What?
NANCY: So drop this case
or you'll never see them again.
(doorbell dings)
Roland.
I think I need a lawyer.
SHORE: Not guilty
by reason of automatism.
"Auto-matism"?
SHORE: It's actually one word,
Your Honor.
It basically means my client
was not in control
of his actions.
Well, I won't let you
argue that.
SHORE: Deny my defense,
I'll get you tossed
for abuse
of judicial discretion,
and we can be done
with each other.
Oh, you won't be done
with me, Mr. Shore.
I assure you.
Our plea is not guilty
by reason of automatism.
Deal with it.
How do you mistakenly
use my toothbrush?
It is my toothbrush,
used to clean my mouth,
and I like the bristle dry.
I never said
it was such a big deal--
I can promise you
that your bristle
won't be getting wet tonight.
FOX: You have a new client,
Mr. Young.
His name is Jonathan Macklin.
Jon Macklin is a racist.
Also a defendant.
YOUNG: And a white supremacist.
The victim was black.
My mission is to help people
to improve their lives.
White people.
My people.
The shooter says
you ordered him to kill.
MACKLIN: The shooter came to us
as a runaway.
He said my mission
was to eliminate
Mr. Coleman.
Did you question it?
No.
Why not?
He had a great love
for me.
He still does,
I believe,
just as I continue
to have great love for him.
Is it possible this boy
has homosexual feelings
towards you?
There's no homosexuality
in my Church, Mr. Young.
Your client ordered
an execution.
The most he will serve
is 10 years.
It seems like a fair offer,
Mr. Young.
There won't be any plea.
Mr. Young,
you and I need to get
on the same side now.
Mr. Macklin,
I will give you
the best defense I can,
but you and I will never be
on the same side.
What kind of business
was your dad in?
COLEMAN: Commercial real estate.
He would buy properties
then try to flip them
for a profit.
And at some point,
he bought the building
where the defendant
had his Church.
COLEMAN: Yes.
He knew about
Mr. Macklin's organization.
Institutional racism,
that's what he called it.
He said it was up
to people like us
to do something about it.
So, what exactly did he do?
Well, after he bought
the building,
he served a notice of eviction
to Mr. Macklin
to get his Church out of there.
And what happened?
Mr. Macklin went to Court
to fight the eviction.
He lost.
And then?
Mr. Macklin came up to my dad
in the Courtroom
and said...
that it wasn't over.
He just kept saying that.
"It isn't over."
The next day,
my dad was shot dead
right in front of me.
I know that this is difficult,
Mr. Coleman.
Could you tell us
what you saw?
We were leaving work.
My dad and I walked out
to his car,
which was out front
like it always is.
And a young man,
a white guy came up
and started shooting
and shooting.
Did he say anything?
Yes.
After the gun was empty,
he turned to me and said,
"Courtesy of Jon Macklin."
(music playing)
YOUNG: Next up is the shoe
to Danny Grant.
Now, there seems
there's no record of him
before 1997.
Do you know
if he has another name?
Many of my people
change their names once--
I can't be concerned
with "many people,"
not at the moment,
only Danny Grant.
This kid could bury you,
Mr. Macklin.
Now, if we could expose
some prior record--
I know
what you're trying to do.
You're trying to expose
a previous homosexual life.
I have no knowledge
of any such history
with Danny Grant.
Do you know anything?
Just that he was a runaway,
who seemed like a terrific kid.
BERLUTI: We need something,
Mr. Macklin.
This kid is the prosecution's
whole case.
Well, I can tell you
that he's a liar,
because I never instructed him
to shoot anybody.
Whose sister?
Richard's.
My best friend,
the man I shot.
Why do you want me to go
see his sister?
ROLAND: Because...
Richard and I grew up
next to each other.
My parents were never around,
so I was pretty much raised
by Richard's family.
And I was very close
to his sister.
I need for you
to say how sorry I am,
how truly--
Would you please
tell her I'm sorry?
Yes.
Are you doing okay
otherwise, Roland?
My head feels funny.
I don't handle loneliness well.
How soon can I get out?
It's gonna take a while.
Can you move my trial date up?
My head feels very funny.
I'm not handling this well.
The Church saved my life.
HILL: Specifically,
what happened when you joined
Mr. Macklin's group?
I went through intake,
just like everybody else.
The first three months
were physical training.
After that, we started classes
with Mr. Macklin.
What kind of classes?
History, religion.
He said he had
to reverse the damage
of our government education.
You were trained to fight?
We were trained to stand ready.
We were soldiers
in the divine army.
We could be called upon
at any time.
And did the day come
when you were called upon?
Yes.
When I left camp,
I was assigned
to a recruiting unit.
I went to schools, parks,
looking for newbies.
But when Mr. Macklin
started going to Court,
I got moved
to his security detail.
So you were there the day
the Judge's ruling came in?
Yes.
What was Mr. Macklin's reaction?
He was angry.
I had never seen him so upset.
What happened next,
Mr. Grant?
Back in his office,
he told everyone to get out,
except me.
He said he had a mission for me.
He said the Church looked weak.
People needed to be shown
our vengeance would be swift.
And he assigned me a mission.
What was your mission?
To eliminate Mr. Coleman.
He used those exact words?
Yes.
"Eliminate Mr. Coleman."
And did you, sir?
The next day,
I shot him.
YOUNG: Did you make a deal
with the district attorney?
In exchange for testimony
against my client,
your sentence for murder
would be reduced.
Yes.
But I'm testifying truthfully,
Mr. Young.
Were you testifying truthfully
when you told us your name?
Danny Grant isn't your name,
is it, sir?
It is today and has been
for several years.
Did you change it legally?
No.
Then what's your real name?
Daniel Johnson.
Where are you from,
Daniel Johnson?
GRANT: Philadelphia.
YOUNG: Got a criminal record
as Daniel Johnson?
As a teenager,
I committed a few burglaries,
one assault.
YOUNG: You said
you were assigned
to Mr. Macklin's
security detail.
In truth,
you begged for that assignment,
did you not?
I asked for it, yes.
In fact, you repeatedly asked
for any and every assignment
that brought you in contact
with Mr. Macklin.
Isn't that true?
I was and continue
to be very loyal to Mr. Macklin.
Loyal.
Are you in love with him?
Did you hear my question,
Mr. Grant?
Homosexuality
is against God, Mr. Young.
Yes, terrible,
but are you in love
with Jonathan Macklin?
No, I am not.
Well, did you murder Mr. Coleman
as a means of pleasing
or impressing the man
you were secretly in love with?
No.
Does being gay
make you angry, Mr. Grant?
HILL: Objection!
GRANT: I am not gay.
Does being in love
with Jon Macklin cause you
to have feelings of rage?
GRANT: I am not in love
with Mr. Macklin!
Mr. Young, that's enough.
You say you're a devout follower
of Mr. Macklin.
Yes.
His teachings condemn violence,
do they not?
Yes, but in this particular--
YOUNG: And yet when he suddenly
gives you a mission,
in your mind,
to commit murder,
you just do it.
You don't even question--
I considered Mr. Macklin
to be infallible,
so I fulfilled--
YOUNG: The man says "Eliminate."
You infer "murder"
and you don't even ask
for a clarification as to what--
GRANT: I knew what he meant,
so I continued--
YOUNG: Did he mean for you to
do it in front of an eyewitness?
Did he mean for you to say
to the eyewitness,
"Courtesy of Jon Macklin"?
You framed him then
just like you're framing
him now,
because you're in love with him.
No, I am not.
Objection!
Homosexuality is against God.
FOX: Mr. Young--
You're in love with him,
Mr. Grant,
and you're lashing out
because he doesn't
love you back.
That is not true!
Mr. Young, that's enough.
Okay, you're going
to Philadelphia.
What?
I'll get Jamie
to second chair.
There's something
on this kid, Jimmy.
I know it.
You're going to Philadelphia.
(doorbell dings)
I'm looking for Diane Ward.
I'm her.
Are you the sister
of the late Richard Ward?
Yes.
My name is Alan Shore.
I represent Roland Huff.
May I come in?
What do you want?
Well, uh, Roland asked me
to come here
to convey
his profound sorrow over...
Murdering my brother?
Yes.
Fine.
You've done so.
Good night, Mr. Shore.
Forgive me.
I'm not feeling wholly
satisfied.
I don't, uh, know
whether you've eaten yet,
but if not, may I take you
to dinner?
Why?
I haven't the slightest idea.
I suspect, in part,
because you look like a person
who could use some company.
Forgive me, I don't mean
to be presumptuous.
But also you strike me
as a person
whose company I might enjoy.
MATTHEWS: I did my Graduate
Studies in Sociology
at Northwestern.
My focus is on race
and religion.
And doctor, you're familiar
with Mr. Macklin's Church
of divine power?
MATTHEWS: I've read most
of his writings,
heard tapes of his sermons,
interviewed members.
YOUNG: And were you able
to form an opinion
as to Mr. Macklin's position
on violence?
He's against it.
Don't misunderstand.
There's tremendous hate
in what he teaches,
but his primary goal
is separatism.
He calls
for the black race to fail.
Yes, but I don't believe
it's a call for violence.
I must tell you, doctor,
for an African-American man
to be sitting in that chair
supporting this defendant--
I endorse nothing about the man.
His teachings are racist,
perhaps dangerous.
But there are many prominent
voices in the black community
who support the idea
of separatism.
Segregation required us
to be self-sufficient,
and along with that came
a cultural awareness,
a sense of identity
some think we've lost.
You sound like a separatist
yourself, professor.
I'm not,
but I understand the impulse
to protect your culture,
Mr. Hill.
We're becoming
more diverse every day,
and I think
it's fair to wonder
if by joining others,
we're losing
a little sense of self.
Why are we having lunch?
Did you not enjoy dinner
last night?
I did.
Why are we having lunch?
I just felt I needed
to continue apologizing
on Roland's behalf.
Also, I find you attractive.
Why?
It could be the way
you study me.
You did so yesterday
as soon
as you opened the door.
What is it in particular
that you're drawn to?
Curiosity,
suspicion,
or simply distrust?
I think I enjoy the company
of inquisitive people,
especially
when they're perceptive.
And they often
cause me to...
discover more
about myself.
So, it's all about you?
(chuckles) Perhaps.
And I also find you interesting
in your own right.
So there's that added bonus.
Diane,
would you mind visiting Roland?
From what I gather,
you may be his only semblance
of family.
STRINGER:
As soon as you can, Jimmy.
It's going fast here.
He landed in Philadelphia.
He's on his way to probation.
Well, let's hope
he finds something.
I testify next?
Yes.
The main thing
is to tell the truth.
I plan to.
Look at me, Mr. Macklin.
Do not expend any time
or energy
trying to get the jury
to like you.
That isn't going to happen.
Now, I don't mean
to offend you,
but you need to understand
our chances
have nothing to do
with you coming off as
a sympathetic or likeable guy.
Our defense--our only defense--
is that you did not
commission a murder.
Are we clear?
Yes.
Am I allowed to share
with the jury that I'm afraid?
It won't help.
It's interesting.
You're exploring
Danny Grant's past,
and you've expressed
no interest in mine.
I know who and what you are.
You may know my beliefs,
but you clearly
don't know my heart.
Maybe he's in love with you.
Maybe.
What'd you think
of our expert's testimony
on how interracial relationships
threaten black culture?
What about it?
STRINGER: Well, do you believe
that at all?
YOUNG: Do you?
Well, I mean,
if all the races became one,
it'd be great for world harmony,
but the culture won't be black.
Does that bother you?
Clearly, it bothers you.
You're being evasive.
I was reading this book,
"The Cornel West Reader."
Since when?
Since 6:00.
And he talks about
black cultural distinctiveness,
black manners,
styles, rhythms,
ways of praying
and singing.
What a rich culture.
To think it could be assimilated
into White America.
Are you talking
generally, Jamie,
or is this discussion
honing in on you and me?
(horn buzzes)
Roland?
You need to get me out.
WILSON: Roland,
we've talked about this.
You need--
I can't wait, Tara.
They're watching me.
They have a guard watching me.
Okay.
Roland,
you made a noose
out of your bed sheets.
Do you wanna take
your life, Roland?
They refuse
to come visit me.
Who?
My children.
They say I--
I'm not their father.
My life, Mr. Shore,
was Nancy and Richard
and my children.
They're all gone.
There's no life left to take.
I'm not a loner.
I need people in my life.
I--
Do you have other family?
What about your parents?
They're dead.
Okay.
What needs to happen,
Roland,
is for you to start
building a new life.
We're gonna help you do that.
I met with Richard's sister,
Diane.
She's going to come visit.
I cannot exist in prison.
I know things about myself.
I cannot exist in prison.
YOUNG: We're running out
of time, Jimmy.
I mean, how many addresses
have you checked out?
All right.
Well, keep going and hurry.
Okay.
What's the problem?
What problem?
Doors slamming, dishes clanking.
What's the issue?
STRINGER: You're black.
I'm white.
For you to consider it
such a non-issue,
I just don't get it.
That's all.
Clearly,
it's an issue with you.
So, let's have it.
My issue
is your denial.
You wouldn't be in any denial
yourself then, huh?
Are you?
I don't think so.
I'm the one raising it.
But why?
Ellenor, would you date
a black man?
Yes.
And I have.
Would you marry a black man?
Would there be a reason
I shouldn't?
(door knock)
(door opens)
BERLUTI: Hello.
I'm looking
for a Bernice Johnson.
Do I look like Bernice to you?
No.
Does she live here?
Not anymore.
Do you know where
I might find her?
You got 50 bucks?
My mission
has always been clear,
to reclaim strength
for the white race.
Okay, that's politics,
but we're sitting
in a room today
because someone was murdered.
Which I was not involved in.
I've never supported violence,
even in theory.
I did not endorse
the murder of Mr. Coleman
or anyone else.
Danny Grant said you did.
Danny Grant is either mistaken
or he is a liar.
I can only surmise
that he did
what he thought
would please me.
I'd suffered
a very public defeat in Court.
I was angry.
Perhaps he decided
to avenge that defeat.
If so, he chose a manner
I find deplorable.
Did you ever tell Mr. Grant
to eliminate Mr. Coleman?
No, I did not.
I did say,
after losing in Court,
"These defeats are unacceptable.
We cannot allow for people
such as Mr. Coleman
to undermine our cause."
That's what I said,
my precise words.
Now, here's a quote
from one of your sermons.
"The tree of liberty
must be refreshed
from time to time
with the blood of patriots."
Did you say that?
I was quoting
Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson
was discussing a revolution.
So was I,
a nonviolent one.
Nonviolent with blood.
It's a figure of speech,
a speech made
by one of the founding fathers
of our country.
Oh, so you are a fan
of Thomas Jefferson's?
In another sermon,
you condemned his soul to hell.
My condemnation
there was aimed
at reports that he had
had sexual relations
with one of his slaves.
A black slave?
It's against God.
What do you think
of homosexuality?
That, too,
is against God.
HILL: In fact,
you condemned homosexuality
in a sermon two years ago,
did you not?
I have done so many times.
HILL: Yes.
Well, the day after this time,
two of your parishioners
beat a gay man half to death.
Objection, prejudicial.
HILL: And now they sit
in prison--
MACKLIN: I never ordered them
to do that.
They just got it wrong?
Yes.
Like Danny Grant
got it wrong when,
after a conversation with you,
he killed Arnold Coleman?
Yes.
Bail for a double-homicide case?
SHORE: Your Honor,
in addition to my client
having no prior record.
I don't particularly care.
And roots in the community
and posing very little
flight risk,
his trial is scheduled
for next week.
His emotional stability
is being jeopardized
by his ongoing confinement.
You have a medical affidavit
confirming as much.
I would submit to ensure
Mr. Huff's ability
to competently contribute
to his defense--
HARROD: Counsel,
the man shot two people.
You are claiming automatism
as a defense.
How can I release a guy
who can't control himself?
That breakdown was triggered
by a very specific event.
He discovered
his lifelong best friend
in bed with his wife.
My client has no
more best friends.
He has no more wives.
The situation isn't
likely to repeat itself.
You know what
your problem is, counsel?
You ooze smug.
I don't like smug.
Your Honor,
this is Diane Ward.
She is the sister
of one of the victims.
Even she is here willing
to extend some compassion.
This forum isn't
about indulging tears
or compassion
or some misplaced
self-righteousness, counsel.
It's about enforcing
the letter of the law.
Under the law,
I do not grant bail
to double-homicide defendants.
Your motion is denied.
The defendant goes back
into custody.
(gavel bangs)
I'm sorry.
Try to stay strong, Roland.
It's only a week
till the trial.
I don't know
if I can make it.
SHORE: Yes, you can.
Yes, you can.
(indistinct chatter)
(music playing)
(door opens)
STRINGER: All set?
One second.
Something on your mind, Jamie?
I'm Jewish,
which you know...
A half-Jewish.
By blood.
I was raised Jewish.
I consider myself Jewish.
Okay.
And?
And the Jewish culture
is being threatened
by intermarriage.
And, well, the truth is...
as I look to my future,
I don't see myself sharing it
with someone who's not Jewish.
(scoffs)
Jamie, if you want out,
just say you want out,
but don't invent some
religious reason
for why we have--
STRINGER: I'm not inventing.
Fine. You're Jewish.
You want out.
We're done.
Anything else?
You have an odd little house.
Can I get you a cup
of coffee or--
SHORE: No, I better get going.
As I told you, I have a trial
rapidly approaching.
Diane, would you perhaps
consider testifying
on Roland's behalf?
Are you using me?
I'm not sure.
I am very drawn to you.
But can I separate
my fascination
from my need to have you
at trial for Roland?
I'm not sure.
When you said before
I was an attractive woman--
I said that
because I find you attractive.
Would you sleep with me tonight?
I mean, we don't have
to be physical.
I...
I would just really like
to fall asleep
next to somebody.
It's been so long since--
I would very much like
to sleep with you tonight,
but it could render
you impeachable.
I think Roland was abused
by his father,
if that helps with his trial.
Sexually abused?
Yes.
And his mother's an alcoholic,
if that counts for anything.
He said his family was dead.
Well, they may as well be.
His mother's never sober.
And his father
is a Croatian diplomat
who's almost always
out of the country.
That's why he has so many
issues about being alone.
His parents were gone, really.
Will this be helpful
at his trial?
Diane, you have no idea.
DRIVER: Thank you, sir.
(engine revving)
Hello.
My name is James Berluti.
I'm looking for
a Mrs. Bernice Johnson.
Speaking.
I'm looking for the mother
of Daniel Johnson,
now known as Daniel Grant.
Speaking.
I'm looking for the mother
of this man.
Here I am.
Now, what do you want?
Croatian?
Yeah, I need all the research,
Tara, not just--
WILSON: Well, this is all of it.
And here's the statute
followed by the treaty.
What's going on?
What?
Call our Judge, Tara.
Make an appointment.
I don't need to talk to you.
Danny, I just--
Please don't speak to me
in familiar terms
after what your colleague
subjected me to.
Implying I'm a homosexual?
Look, your mother--
She didn't even know
that you committed a murder
or that you were in jail.
What a surprise.
I haven't spoken to my mother
in over five years.
Look, it's not uncommon
for a biracial man
to think of himself as white,
but to become
a white supremacist?
Are you really a white
supremacist, Danny,
or do you consider
yourself black
and you found the perfect way
to take down a racist?
If I were black,
do you really think I'd murder
a black man to make a point?
I killed because I know
it's what Mr. Macklin wanted,
because I'm devoted to him,
because I would do
anything for him.
And I'm not gay,
Mr. Berluti.
Oh, I don't believe
you're gay anymore.
Your mother,
she also gave me
a picture of your father.
She didn't think
you even knew his identity,
but that would be just
too big a coincidence,
wouldn't it, Danny?
My son?
Evidently,
you had a brief affair
with this Bernice 20 years ago.
I never!
BERLUTI: She's positive.
She says this man
is the father.
She's lying.
Mr. Macklin,
this is very good news.
It's new evidence we can use
to impeach Danny Grant.
At a minimum,
we expose a--
MACKLIN: It's a lie
being told by my enemies.
YOUNG: Well, if it's a lie,
it can get you acquitted,
so why don't we--
MACKLIN: No.
I will not let
my enemies destroy me.
I will not let
my attorneys destroy me.
BERLUTI: We're not trying
to destroy you.
We--
This information is false.
You will not present it.
(music playing)
Are you telling me...
you'd rather go to prison
for the rest of your life
than to let it be known
that you have a son
who's half black?
(music playing)
You will not speak
of this information.
I am not pleased
to be back here, counsel.
Actually, Your Honor,
I have splendid news.
I think you'll be delighted.
May I?
Please.
It turns out
Roland Huff's father
is a Croatian diplomat,
and, as such,
is a party to the conventions
and treaties
which grant immunity--
full immunity--
to representatives
of foreign sovereignties,
which--and I apologize
if I'm oozing smug,
but it's just too delicious.
The immunity extends
to children.
Isn't it wonderful?
Roland gets to go free.
What the hell is this?
I suspected you might
be ill-inclined
to accept my word,
so joined with me
is Martin Adler
from the Department of Justice.
ADLER:
Good morning, Your Honor.
I represent the United States
and appear at the request
of the defendant,
but certainly not
in support of him.
Regretfully,
Mr. Huff has two valid
claims of immunity.
He is, in fact,
the son of a diplomat.
He is also listed as a member
of his nation's mission.
You have the declarations
before you,
which, I'm loathe to say,
are in order.
You are here from the Office
of International Affairs
requesting Mr. Huff's
unconditional release?
ADLER: We have contacted
the Croatian government,
urged them to waive
Mr. Huff's immunity.
Unfortunately,
this is a government
that hardly ever does so.
This man shot
and killed two people
in cold blood.
SHORE: The main thing,
Your Honor,
is not to indulge compassion
or tears
or especially
misplaced righteousness,
but simply to enforce
the letter of the law.
You could hold me in contempt
if it'll make you feel better.
I just can't believe it.
I feel like I could cry.
I wouldn't do that.
SHORE: There is a catch, Roland.
You'll need
to leave the country.
What?
And go where?
Croatia.
Mr. Adler over there
and those officers,
they'll be taking you
to the airport,
possibly as early as tonight.
I've never been to Croatia.
Unfortunately,
that's the way the law works.
It's either prison here or...
HUFF: I don't even know
anybody there.
I came here
when I was three.
Roland, you need
to start a new life.
Maybe this is best.
You might not get
the chance to do that
in this country,
not truly.
Yeah.
I'll never see my kids.
I just can't believe
he'd rather face prison than--
How could racism
run so deeply?
You got to be kidding.
It was--
it's not a Jewish thing.
What is it, then?
I adore you.
And I--
but it's...
a man-woman thing.
I wanna break up.
I've, uh,
manufactured...
so many excuses
to conceal the real one.
I'm not interested.
Jamie, you and I,
it's just a thing.
We both know that.
It's no big deal.
It isn't?
Since we work together,
it's probably not
too practical
for us to be, you know--
so let's just move on.
(music playing)
Oh, jury's back.
Let's go.
It's not too late.
I'm in God's hands now,
Mr. Young.
FOX: Madam Foreperson,
I understand the jury
has reached a verdict?
We have, Your Honor.
Will the defendant
please rise?
What say you?
Commonwealth
vs. Jonathan Macklin--
on the charge of murder
in the first degree,
we, the jury,
find the defendant,
Jonathan Macklin,
guilty.
FOX: Members of the jury,
we thank you.
Security,
take the defendant
into custody.
We're adjourned.
(gavel bangs)
I'm sorry.
This is what he intended.
Good luck.
Thank you.
I'll be fine.

Previously on "The Practice"
NANCY: The kids aren't yours.
They're Richard's.
Nancy.
What?
NANCY: So drop this case
or you'll never see them again.
(doorbell dings)
Roland.
I think I need a lawyer.
SHORE: Not guilty
by reason of automatism.
"Auto-matism"?
SHORE: It's actually one word,
Your Honor.
It basically means my client
was not in control
of his actions.
Well, I won't let you
argue that.
SHORE: Deny my defense,
I'll get you tossed
for abuse
of judicial discretion,
and we can be done
with each other.
Oh, you won't be done
with me, Mr. Shore.
I assure you.
Our plea is not guilty
by reason of automatism.
Deal with it.
How do you mistakenly
use my toothbrush?
It is my toothbrush,
used to clean my mouth,
and I like the bristle dry.
I never said
it was such a big deal--
I can promise you
that your bristle
won't be getting wet tonight.
FOX: You have a new client,
Mr. Young.
His name is Jonathan Macklin.
Jon Macklin is a racist.
Also a defendant.
YOUNG: And a white supremacist.
The victim was black.
My mission is to help people
to improve their lives.
White people.
My people.
The shooter says
you ordered him to kill.
MACKLIN: The shooter came to us
as a runaway.
He said my mission
was to eliminate
Mr. Coleman.
Did you question it?
No.
Why not?
He had a great love
for me.
He still does,
I believe,
just as I continue
to have great love for him.
Is it possible this boy
has homosexual feelings
towards you?
There's no homosexuality
in my Church, Mr. Young.
Your client ordered
an execution.
The most he will serve
is 10 years.
It seems like a fair offer,
Mr. Young.
There won't be any plea.
Mr. Young,
you and I need to get
on the same side now.
Mr. Macklin,
I will give you
the best defense I can,
but you and I will never be
on the same side.
What kind of business
was your dad in?
COLEMAN: Commercial real estate.
He would buy properties
then try to flip them
for a profit.
And at some point,
he bought the building
where the defendant
had his Church.
COLEMAN: Yes.
He knew about
Mr. Macklin's organization.
Institutional racism,
that's what he called it.
He said it was up
to people like us
to do something about it.
So, what exactly did he do?
Well, after he bought
the building,
he served a notice of eviction
to Mr. Macklin
to get his Church out of there.
And what happened?
Mr. Macklin went to Court
to fight the eviction.
He lost.
And then?
Mr. Macklin came up to my dad
in the Courtroom
and said...
that it wasn't over.
He just kept saying that.
"It isn't over."
The next day,
my dad was shot dead
right in front of me.
I know that this is difficult,
Mr. Coleman.
Could you tell us
what you saw?
We were leaving work.
My dad and I walked out
to his car,
which was out front
like it always is.
And a young man,
a white guy came up
and started shooting
and shooting.
Did he say anything?
Yes.
After the gun was empty,
he turned to me and said,
"Courtesy of Jon Macklin."
(music playing)
YOUNG: Next up is the shoe
to Danny Grant.
Now, there seems
there's no record of him
before 1997.
Do you know
if he has another name?
Many of my people
change their names once--
I can't be concerned
with "many people,"
not at the moment,
only Danny Grant.
This kid could bury you,
Mr. Macklin.
Now, if we could expose
some prior record--
I know
what you're trying to do.
You're trying to expose
a previous homosexual life.
I have no knowledge
of any such history
with Danny Grant.
Do you know anything?
Just that he was a runaway,
who seemed like a terrific kid.
BERLUTI: We need something,
Mr. Macklin.
This kid is the prosecution's
whole case.
Well, I can tell you
that he's a liar,
because I never instructed him
to shoot anybody.
Whose sister?
Richard's.
My best friend,
the man I shot.
Why do you want me to go
see his sister?
ROLAND: Because...
Richard and I grew up
next to each other.
My parents were never around,
so I was pretty much raised
by Richard's family.
And I was very close
to his sister.
I need for you
to say how sorry I am,
how truly--
Would you please
tell her I'm sorry?
Yes.
Are you doing okay
otherwise, Roland?
My head feels funny.
I don't handle loneliness well.
How soon can I get out?
It's gonna take a while.
Can you move my trial date up?
My head feels very funny.
I'm not handling this well.
The Church saved my life.
HILL: Specifically,
what happened when you joined
Mr. Macklin's group?
I went through intake,
just like everybody else.
The first three months
were physical training.
After that, we started classes
with Mr. Macklin.
What kind of classes?
History, religion.
He said he had
to reverse the damage
of our government education.
You were trained to fight?
We were trained to stand ready.
We were soldiers
in the divine army.
We could be called upon
at any time.
And did the day come
when you were called upon?
Yes.
When I left camp,
I was assigned
to a recruiting unit.
I went to schools, parks,
looking for newbies.
But when Mr. Macklin
started going to Court,
I got moved
to his security detail.
So you were there the day
the Judge's ruling came in?
Yes.
What was Mr. Macklin's reaction?
He was angry.
I had never seen him so upset.
What happened next,
Mr. Grant?
Back in his office,
he told everyone to get out,
except me.
He said he had a mission for me.
He said the Church looked weak.
People needed to be shown
our vengeance would be swift.
And he assigned me a mission.
What was your mission?
To eliminate Mr. Coleman.
He used those exact words?
Yes.
"Eliminate Mr. Coleman."
And did you, sir?
The next day,
I shot him.
YOUNG: Did you make a deal
with the district attorney?
In exchange for testimony
against my client,
your sentence for murder
would be reduced.
Yes.
But I'm testifying truthfully,
Mr. Young.
Were you testifying truthfully
when you told us your name?
Danny Grant isn't your name,
is it, sir?
It is today and has been
for several years.
Did you change it legally?
No.
Then what's your real name?
Daniel Johnson.
Where are you from,
Daniel Johnson?
GRANT: Philadelphia.
YOUNG: Got a criminal record
as Daniel Johnson?
As a teenager,
I committed a few burglaries,
one assault.
YOUNG: You said
you were assigned
to Mr. Macklin's
security detail.
In truth,
you begged for that assignment,
did you not?
I asked for it, yes.
In fact, you repeatedly asked
for any and every assignment
that brought you in contact
with Mr. Macklin.
Isn't that true?
I was and continue
to be very loyal to Mr. Macklin.
Loyal.
Are you in love with him?
Did you hear my question,
Mr. Grant?
Homosexuality
is against God, Mr. Young.
Yes, terrible,
but are you in love
with Jonathan Macklin?
No, I am not.
Well, did you murder Mr. Coleman
as a means of pleasing
or impressing the man
you were secretly in love with?
No.
Does being gay
make you angry, Mr. Grant?
HILL: Objection!
GRANT: I am not gay.
Does being in love
with Jon Macklin cause you
to have feelings of rage?
GRANT: I am not in love
with Mr. Macklin!
Mr. Young, that's enough.
You say you're a devout follower
of Mr. Macklin.
Yes.
His teachings condemn violence,
do they not?
Yes, but in this particular--
YOUNG: And yet when he suddenly
gives you a mission,
in your mind,
to commit murder,
you just do it.
You don't even question--
I considered Mr. Macklin
to be infallible,
so I fulfilled--
YOUNG: The man says "Eliminate."
You infer "murder"
and you don't even ask
for a clarification as to what--
GRANT: I knew what he meant,
so I continued--
YOUNG: Did he mean for you to
do it in front of an eyewitness?
Did he mean for you to say
to the eyewitness,
"Courtesy of Jon Macklin"?
You framed him then
just like you're framing
him now,
because you're in love with him.
No, I am not.
Objection!
Homosexuality is against God.
FOX: Mr. Young--
You're in love with him,
Mr. Grant,
and you're lashing out
because he doesn't
love you back.
That is not true!
Mr. Young, that's enough.
Okay, you're going
to Philadelphia.
What?
I'll get Jamie
to second chair.
There's something
on this kid, Jimmy.
I know it.
You're going to Philadelphia.
(doorbell dings)
I'm looking for Diane Ward.
I'm her.
Are you the sister
of the late Richard Ward?
Yes.
My name is Alan Shore.
I represent Roland Huff.
May I come in?
What do you want?
Well, uh, Roland asked me
to come here
to convey
his profound sorrow over...
Murdering my brother?
Yes.
Fine.
You've done so.
Good night, Mr. Shore.
Forgive me.
I'm not feeling wholly
satisfied.
I don't, uh, know
whether you've eaten yet,
but if not, may I take you
to dinner?
Why?
I haven't the slightest idea.
I suspect, in part,
because you look like a person
who could use some company.
Forgive me, I don't mean
to be presumptuous.
But also you strike me
as a person
whose company I might enjoy.
MATTHEWS: I did my Graduate
Studies in Sociology
at Northwestern.
My focus is on race
and religion.
And doctor, you're familiar
with Mr. Macklin's Church
of divine power?
MATTHEWS: I've read most
of his writings,
heard tapes of his sermons,
interviewed members.
YOUNG: And were you able
to form an opinion
as to Mr. Macklin's position
on violence?
He's against it.
Don't misunderstand.
There's tremendous hate
in what he teaches,
but his primary goal
is separatism.
He calls
for the black race to fail.
Yes, but I don't believe
it's a call for violence.
I must tell you, doctor,
for an African-American man
to be sitting in that chair
supporting this defendant--
I endorse nothing about the man.
His teachings are racist,
perhaps dangerous.
But there are many prominent
voices in the black community
who support the idea
of separatism.
Segregation required us
to be self-sufficient,
and along with that came
a cultural awareness,
a sense of identity
some think we've lost.
You sound like a separatist
yourself, professor.
I'm not,
but I understand the impulse
to protect your culture,
Mr. Hill.
We're becoming
more diverse every day,
and I think
it's fair to wonder
if by joining others,
we're losing
a little sense of self.
Why are we having lunch?
Did you not enjoy dinner
last night?
I did.
Why are we having lunch?
I just felt I needed
to continue apologizing
on Roland's behalf.
Also, I find you attractive.
Why?
It could be the way
you study me.
You did so yesterday
as soon
as you opened the door.
What is it in particular
that you're drawn to?
Curiosity,
suspicion,
or simply distrust?
I think I enjoy the company
of inquisitive people,
especially
when they're perceptive.
And they often
cause me to...
discover more
about myself.
So, it's all about you?
(chuckles) Perhaps.
And I also find you interesting
in your own right.
So there's that added bonus.
Diane,
would you mind visiting Roland?
From what I gather,
you may be his only semblance
of family.
STRINGER:
As soon as you can, Jimmy.
It's going fast here.
He landed in Philadelphia.
He's on his way to probation.
Well, let's hope
he finds something.
I testify next?
Yes.
The main thing
is to tell the truth.
I plan to.
Look at me, Mr. Macklin.
Do not expend any time
or energy
trying to get the jury
to like you.
That isn't going to happen.
Now, I don't mean
to offend you,
but you need to understand
our chances
have nothing to do
with you coming off as
a sympathetic or likeable guy.
Our defense--our only defense--
is that you did not
commission a murder.
Are we clear?
Yes.
Am I allowed to share
with the jury that I'm afraid?
It won't help.
It's interesting.
You're exploring
Danny Grant's past,
and you've expressed
no interest in mine.
I know who and what you are.
You may know my beliefs,
but you clearly
don't know my heart.
Maybe he's in love with you.
Maybe.
What'd you think
of our expert's testimony
on how interracial relationships
threaten black culture?
What about it?
STRINGER: Well, do you believe
that at all?
YOUNG: Do you?
Well, I mean,
if all the races became one,
it'd be great for world harmony,
but the culture won't be black.
Does that bother you?
Clearly, it bothers you.
You're being evasive.
I was reading this book,
"The Cornel West Reader."
Since when?
Since 6:00.
And he talks about
black cultural distinctiveness,
black manners,
styles, rhythms,
ways of praying
and singing.
What a rich culture.
To think it could be assimilated
into White America.
Are you talking
generally, Jamie,
or is this discussion
honing in on you and me?
(horn buzzes)
Roland?
You need to get me out.
WILSON: Roland,
we've talked about this.
You need--
I can't wait, Tara.
They're watching me.
They have a guard watching me.
Okay.
Roland,
you made a noose
out of your bed sheets.
Do you wanna take
your life, Roland?
They refuse
to come visit me.
Who?
My children.
They say I--
I'm not their father.
My life, Mr. Shore,
was Nancy and Richard
and my children.
They're all gone.
There's no life left to take.
I'm not a loner.
I need people in my life.
I--
Do you have other family?
What about your parents?
They're dead.
Okay.
What needs to happen,
Roland,
is for you to start
building a new life.
We're gonna help you do that.
I met with Richard's sister,
Diane.
She's going to come visit.
I cannot exist in prison.
I know things about myself.
I cannot exist in prison.
YOUNG: We're running out
of time, Jimmy.
I mean, how many addresses
have you checked out?
All right.
Well, keep going and hurry.
Okay.
What's the problem?
What problem?
Doors slamming, dishes clanking.
What's the issue?
STRINGER: You're black.
I'm white.
For you to consider it
such a non-issue,
I just don't get it.
That's all.
Clearly,
it's an issue with you.
So, let's have it.
My issue
is your denial.
You wouldn't be in any denial
yourself then, huh?
Are you?
I don't think so.
I'm the one raising it.
But why?
Ellenor, would you date
a black man?
Yes.
And I have.
Would you marry a black man?
Would there be a reason
I shouldn't?
(door knock)
(door opens)
BERLUTI: Hello.
I'm looking
for a Bernice Johnson.
Do I look like Bernice to you?
No.
Does she live here?
Not anymore.
Do you know where
I might find her?
You got 50 bucks?
My mission
has always been clear,
to reclaim strength
for the white race.
Okay, that's politics,
but we're sitting
in a room today
because someone was murdered.
Which I was not involved in.
I've never supported violence,
even in theory.
I did not endorse
the murder of Mr. Coleman
or anyone else.
Danny Grant said you did.
Danny Grant is either mistaken
or he is a liar.
I can only surmise
that he did
what he thought
would please me.
I'd suffered
a very public defeat in Court.
I was angry.
Perhaps he decided
to avenge that defeat.
If so, he chose a manner
I find deplorable.
Did you ever tell Mr. Grant
to eliminate Mr. Coleman?
No, I did not.
I did say,
after losing in Court,
"These defeats are unacceptable.
We cannot allow for people
such as Mr. Coleman
to undermine our cause."
That's what I said,
my precise words.
Now, here's a quote
from one of your sermons.
"The tree of liberty
must be refreshed
from time to time
with the blood of patriots."
Did you say that?
I was quoting
Thomas Jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson
was discussing a revolution.
So was I,
a nonviolent one.
Nonviolent with blood.
It's a figure of speech,
a speech made
by one of the founding fathers
of our country.
Oh, so you are a fan
of Thomas Jefferson's?
In another sermon,
you condemned his soul to hell.
My condemnation
there was aimed
at reports that he had
had sexual relations
with one of his slaves.
A black slave?
It's against God.
What do you think
of homosexuality?
That, too,
is against God.
HILL: In fact,
you condemned homosexuality
in a sermon two years ago,
did you not?
I have done so many times.
HILL: Yes.
Well, the day after this time,
two of your parishioners
beat a gay man half to death.
Objection, prejudicial.
HILL: And now they sit
in prison--
MACKLIN: I never ordered them
to do that.
They just got it wrong?
Yes.
Like Danny Grant
got it wrong when,
after a conversation with you,
he killed Arnold Coleman?
Yes.
Bail for a double-homicide case?
SHORE: Your Honor,
in addition to my client
having no prior record.
I don't particularly care.
And roots in the community
and posing very little
flight risk,
his trial is scheduled
for next week.
His emotional stability
is being jeopardized
by his ongoing confinement.
You have a medical affidavit
confirming as much.
I would submit to ensure
Mr. Huff's ability
to competently contribute
to his defense--
HARROD: Counsel,
the man shot two people.
You are claiming automatism
as a defense.
How can I release a guy
who can't control himself?
That breakdown was triggered
by a very specific event.
He discovered
his lifelong best friend
in bed with his wife.
My client has no
more best friends.
He has no more wives.
The situation isn't
likely to repeat itself.
You know what
your problem is, counsel?
You ooze smug.
I don't like smug.
Your Honor,
this is Diane Ward.
She is the sister
of one of the victims.
Even she is here willing
to extend some compassion.
This forum isn't
about indulging tears
or compassion
or some misplaced
self-righteousness, counsel.
It's about enforcing
the letter of the law.
Under the law,
I do not grant bail
to double-homicide defendants.
Your motion is denied.
The defendant goes back
into custody.
(gavel bangs)
I'm sorry.
Try to stay strong, Roland.
It's only a week
till the trial.
I don't know
if I can make it.
SHORE: Yes, you can.
Yes, you can.
(indistinct chatter)
(music playing)
(door opens)
STRINGER: All set?
One second.
Something on your mind, Jamie?
I'm Jewish,
which you know...
A half-Jewish.
By blood.
I was raised Jewish.
I consider myself Jewish.
Okay.
And?
And the Jewish culture
is being threatened
by intermarriage.
And, well, the truth is...
as I look to my future,
I don't see myself sharing it
with someone who's not Jewish.
(scoffs)
Jamie, if you want out,
just say you want out,
but don't invent some
religious reason
for why we have--
STRINGER: I'm not inventing.
Fine. You're Jewish.
You want out.
We're done.
Anything else?
You have an odd little house.
Can I get you a cup
of coffee or--
SHORE: No, I better get going.
As I told you, I have a trial
rapidly approaching.
Diane, would you perhaps
consider testifying
on Roland's behalf?
Are you using me?
I'm not sure.
I am very drawn to you.
But can I separate
my fascination
from my need to have you
at trial for Roland?
I'm not sure.
When you said before
I was an attractive woman--
I said that
because I find you attractive.
Would you sleep with me tonight?
I mean, we don't have
to be physical.
I...
I would just really like
to fall asleep
next to somebody.
It's been so long since--
I would very much like
to sleep with you tonight,
but it could render
you impeachable.
I think Roland was abused
by his father,
if that helps with his trial.
Sexually abused?
Yes.
And his mother's an alcoholic,
if that counts for anything.
He said his family was dead.
Well, they may as well be.
His mother's never sober.
And his father
is a Croatian diplomat
who's almost always
out of the country.
That's why he has so many
issues about being alone.
His parents were gone, really.
Will this be helpful
at his trial?
Diane, you have no idea.
DRIVER: Thank you, sir.
(engine revving)
Hello.
My name is James Berluti.
I'm looking for
a Mrs. Bernice Johnson.
Speaking.
I'm looking for the mother
of Daniel Johnson,
now known as Daniel Grant.
Speaking.
I'm looking for the mother
of this man.
Here I am.
Now, what do you want?
Croatian?
Yeah, I need all the research,
Tara, not just--
WILSON: Well, this is all of it.
And here's the statute
followed by the treaty.
What's going on?
What?
Call our Judge, Tara.
Make an appointment.
I don't need to talk to you.
Danny, I just--
Please don't speak to me
in familiar terms
after what your colleague
subjected me to.
Implying I'm a homosexual?
Look, your mother--
She didn't even know
that you committed a murder
or that you were in jail.
What a surprise.
I haven't spoken to my mother
in over five years.
Look, it's not uncommon
for a biracial man
to think of himself as white,
but to become
a white supremacist?
Are you really a white
supremacist, Danny,
or do you consider
yourself black
and you found the perfect way
to take down a racist?
If I were black,
do you really think I'd murder
a black man to make a point?
I killed because I know
it's what Mr. Macklin wanted,
because I'm devoted to him,
because I would do
anything for him.
And I'm not gay,
Mr. Berluti.
Oh, I don't believe
you're gay anymore.
Your mother,
she also gave me
a picture of your father.
She didn't think
you even knew his identity,
but that would be just
too big a coincidence,
wouldn't it, Danny?
My son?
Evidently,
you had a brief affair
with this Bernice 20 years ago.
I never!
BERLUTI: She's positive.
She says this man
is the father.
She's lying.
Mr. Macklin,
this is very good news.
It's new evidence we can use
to impeach Danny Grant.
At a minimum,
we expose a--
MACKLIN: It's a lie
being told by my enemies.
YOUNG: Well, if it's a lie,
it can get you acquitted,
so why don't we--
MACKLIN: No.
I will not let
my enemies destroy me.
I will not let
my attorneys destroy me.
BERLUTI: We're not trying
to destroy you.
We--
This information is false.
You will not present it.
(music playing)
Are you telling me...
you'd rather go to prison
for the rest of your life
than to let it be known
that you have a son
who's half black?

You will not speak
of this information.
I am not pleased
to be back here, counsel.
Actually, Your Honor,
I have splendid news.
I think you'll be delighted.
May I?
Please.
It turns out
Roland Huff's father
is a Croatian diplomat,
and, as such,
is a party to the conventions
and treaties
which grant immunity--
full immunity--
to representatives
of foreign sovereignties,
which--and I apologize
if I'm oozing smug,
but it's just too delicious.
The immunity extends
to children.
Isn't it wonderful?
Roland gets to go free.
What the hell is this?
I suspected you might
be ill-inclined
to accept my word,
so joined with me
is Martin Adler
from the Department of Justice.
ADLER:
Good morning, Your Honor.
I represent the United States
and appear at the request
of the defendant,
but certainly not
in support of him.
Regretfully,
Mr. Huff has two valid
claims of immunity.
He is, in fact,
the son of a diplomat.
He is also listed as a member
of his nation's mission.
You have the declarations
before you,
which, I'm loathe to say,
are in order.
You are here from the Office
of International Affairs
requesting Mr. Huff's
unconditional release?
ADLER: We have contacted
the Croatian government,
urged them to waive
Mr. Huff's immunity.
Unfortunately,
this is a government
that hardly ever does so.
This man shot
and killed two people
in cold blood.
SHORE: The main thing,
Your Honor,
is not to indulge compassion
or tears
or especially
misplaced righteousness,
but simply to enforce
the letter of the law.
You could hold me in contempt
if it'll make you feel better.
I just can't believe it.
I feel like I could cry.
I wouldn't do that.
SHORE: There is a catch, Roland.
You'll need
to leave the country.
What?
And go where?
Croatia.
Mr. Adler over there
and those officers,
they'll be taking you
to the airport,
possibly as early as tonight.
I've never been to Croatia.
Unfortunately,
that's the way the law works.
It's either prison here or...
HUFF: I don't even know
anybody there.
I came here
when I was three.
Roland, you need
to start a new life.
Maybe this is best.
You might not get
the chance to do that
in this country,
not truly.
Yeah.
I'll never see my kids.
I just can't believe
he'd rather face prison than--
How could racism
run so deeply?
You got to be kidding.
It was--
it's not a Jewish thing.
What is it, then?
I adore you.
And I--
but it's...
a man-woman thing.
I wanna break up.
I've, uh,
manufactured...
so many excuses
to conceal the real one.
I'm not interested.
Jamie, you and I,
it's just a thing.
We both know that.
It's no big deal.
It isn't?
Since we work together,
it's probably not
too practical
for us to be, you know--
so let's just move on.
(music playing)
Oh, jury's back.
Let's go.
It's not too late.
I'm in God's hands now,
Mr. Young.
FOX: Madam Foreperson,
I understand the jury
has reached a verdict?
We have, Your Honor.
Will the defendant
please rise?
What say you?
Commonwealth
vs. Jonathan Macklin--
on the charge of murder
in the first degree,
we, the jury,
find the defendant,
Jonathan Macklin,
guilty.
FOX: Members of the jury,
we thank you.
Security,
take the defendant
into custody.
We're adjourned.
(gavel bangs)
I'm sorry.
This is what he intended.
Good luck.
Thank you.
I'll be fine.
