1 00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:05,019 Unbelievable and slightly decadent. What is your appetite, the way you eat? I 2 00:01:05,019 --> 00:01:05,779 was hungry. 3 00:01:05,780 --> 00:01:10,240 I thought eating habits like yours were characteristic of growing teenagers and 4 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,880 unloved matrons. Together with overworked, underpaid public servants. 5 00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:17,640 I take it you weren't hungry. What time is it? 6 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,400 It's a little before nine. They've been out quite a while. 7 00:01:21,460 --> 00:01:22,460 How do you think it'll go? 8 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:23,680 Hard to tell. 9 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,060 The evidence was there. The testimony was there. But... But North was there, 10 00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:30,100 too. 11 00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:33,360 It's uncanny what that man can do in a courtroom. There ought to be a law. 12 00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:35,900 More coffee? 13 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,920 No, thanks. 14 00:01:38,740 --> 00:01:39,740 Something eating you, Alex? 15 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,620 Well, since you ask, I think Laszlo's guilty. 16 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,120 So? 17 00:01:46,220 --> 00:01:48,320 So I think we got him off. But he is guilty. 18 00:01:48,620 --> 00:01:51,180 Well, not unless the judge and jury say so. It's up to them. You know that. 19 00:01:52,180 --> 00:01:53,180 Do you think he's guilty? 20 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,100 I think you should have some more coffee and let the jury do their thing. 21 00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,560 Trouble with North is that he sees the law as based on adversary relationships 22 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,340 rather than a search for truth. 23 00:02:03,460 --> 00:02:06,860 You know, I sometimes wonder if it's not a waste of time and money bringing 24 00:02:06,860 --> 00:02:09,340 suspects to trial with lawyers like North around. 25 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,520 Fortunately, there aren't too many like him. 26 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,100 You really don't care, do you? 27 00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:21,860 We have a job to do, Alex, and we're very good at it. We have a lot of 28 00:02:21,860 --> 00:02:25,100 customers, and we make a lot of money. Yeah, but are we happy? 29 00:02:25,580 --> 00:02:26,580 Do we sleep well? 30 00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:31,620 Alex, not only are you talented, but you're like a breath of fresh air. 31 00:02:32,260 --> 00:02:33,500 I'm going to give you a raise. 32 00:02:37,380 --> 00:02:38,660 The jury's coming in. 33 00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:44,780 We find the defendant, Simon Laszlo, innocent of all charges. 34 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,200 The court thanks the jury for the conscientious performance of its duty. 35 00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:54,120 The defendant is hereby released from custody. 36 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,160 Court is adjourned. 37 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:10,800 Chief, I was telling Alex at dinner how much I admired you and have for a lot of 38 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,960 years. And I sometimes wondered what it would have been like if we'd been 39 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,520 friends. One of us would have corrupted the other. 40 00:03:17,740 --> 00:03:19,260 Well, how could you corrupt anyone, Chief? 41 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,640 Maybe honesty is a form of corruption. 42 00:03:23,660 --> 00:03:26,380 I'm not sure I like that. You know what you've done here? 43 00:03:27,020 --> 00:03:31,140 You've gotten 12 honest men and women to believe in a lie that premeditated 44 00:03:31,140 --> 00:03:32,660 homicide with self -defense. 45 00:03:32,980 --> 00:03:34,040 You gave them a show. 46 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,780 You made them turn their whole moral world upside down, and you've given a 47 00:03:38,780 --> 00:03:39,980 killer back his hunting license. 48 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,820 You like that, Mr. North? 49 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,640 I thought you weren't hungry. 50 00:04:24,020 --> 00:04:26,720 I wasn't, but now I am. What time is it? 51 00:04:27,140 --> 00:04:31,620 The jury's in, Chief. Oh, that's right. Your friend Gaynor was going to drop by. 52 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:32,640 It's nearly 10. 53 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,140 Check the Sussex house, will you please? 54 00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:37,700 See if he left. 55 00:04:38,020 --> 00:04:39,200 Maybe we can hit him off. 56 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,160 Oh, it was 7. 57 00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:47,700 He said between 9 .30 and 10, didn't he?

He said he wanted to see me, that he still loved me. 155 00:12:42,350 --> 00:12:46,690 So far as you know, his wife never suspected that you were seeing each 156 00:12:47,010 --> 00:12:48,010 No. 157 00:12:48,970 --> 00:12:51,690 Finally he called, said he was in town, that he had to talk to me. 158 00:12:52,330 --> 00:12:55,430 He said he had an appointment with an old friend so he wouldn't have very much 159 00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:56,430 time. 160 00:12:56,970 --> 00:12:58,530 Somehow that made it seem all right. 161 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,480 So I said I'd meet him in the park where we used to meet once in a while. 162 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,820 Look, why do you have to know this? What difference does it make he's dead? I 163 00:13:05,820 --> 00:13:08,540 killed him in self -defense.

You're making it 175 00:13:47,660 --> 00:13:51,500 sound like some kind of... I'm just giving you an example of what will 176 00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:55,100 you if you go to the police. Questions, all kinds of questions. It's possible 177 00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:56,520 you'll have to spend some time in jail. 178 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:58,920 fingerprints and mug shots. 179 00:13:59,220 --> 00:14:01,440 And when it's all over, there's a good chance no one will believe you. 180 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:03,860 Why are you doing this? 181 00:14:05,340 --> 00:14:06,720 Why are you saying these things? 182 00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:08,300 Because they're true. 183 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,240 You came to me for help. 184 00:14:10,540 --> 00:14:14,440 Yes, I want to turn myself in.

Do nothing. 187 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:32,780 I don't understand. I thought you... How do you visualize the law, Susan, as 188 00:14:32,780 --> 00:14:35,240 some single abstract truth? It's people. 189 00:14:35,940 --> 00:14:39,620 Narrow -minded judges and simple -minded juries. People who can be manipulated. 190 00:14:41,860 --> 00:14:43,680 All you have to do is wait. 191 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:46,920 If you have the nerve. 192 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:49,580 And the patience. 193 00:14:54,060 --> 00:14:55,220 But what about Elliot? 194 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:58,680 What about him? 195 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:08,340 Great many murders go unsolved and unpunished. So unless you have a deep 196 00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:11,560 be punished for an accident...
