The Verdict
{December 8, 1982}
Bishop:
What is the truth?
Frank Galvin:
That poor girl put her trust
into the hands of two men
who took her life.
She’s in a coma. Her life is gone.
She has no home or family.
She’s tied to a machine.
She has no friends.
And the people who should care for her:
her doctors - and you and me -
have been bought off
to look the other way
- we’ve been paid
to look the other way.
I came here to take your money…
brought snap-shots…
[holds up Polaroids]
...to show you so I could get your money.
I can’t do it, I can’t take it.
‘Cause if I take the money
I’m lost.
I’ll just be a rich --- ambulance chaser.
I can’t do it, I can’t take it.
Young Priest / Archdiocesan Goon:
You’re here to discuss money, Mr. Galvin?
How’s your law practice?
Galvin:
Not too good…
[drops Polaroids into his briefcase]
…I only got the one client.
==========================================
John 18:38...
Pilate saith unto him, What is truth?
And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews,
and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
