Hey, hey, hey, just give me a minute, okay? 386 00:20:47,577 --> 00:20:50,410 Now, you testified that I talked to Mr. Sorvino 387 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,745 on the telephone the day he was kidnapped. That just is not true. 388 00:20:53,817 --> 00:20:55,478 I placed the call personally. 389 00:20:55,552 --> 00:20:56,746 I talked to you, too? 390 00:20:56,820 --> 00:20:57,809 No. 391 00:20:58,054 --> 00:21:00,614 I dialed the number, when it started to ring I buzzed Mr. Sorvino 392 00:21:00,690 --> 00:21:02,453 so he could pick up. 393 00:21:02,525 --> 00:21:04,618 All of his calls were handled that way. 394 00:21:04,694 --> 00:21:07,390 He thought it seemed more democratic. 395 00:21:07,464 --> 00:21:09,955 Like he made the call instead of a secretary. 396 00:21:10,033 --> 00:21:11,557 Then how do you know he talked to me? 397 00:21:11,634 --> 00:21:15,070 Oh, look, Mr. Rockford, I have worked for Mr. Sorvino for seven years. 398 00:21:15,138 --> 00:21:18,972 I ought to know the system. If the number was a DA, doesn't answer, 399 00:21:19,442 --> 00:21:21,672 he'd let me know and I'd keep it on the phone sheet. 400 00:21:21,745 --> 00:21:25,408 But if he didn't say anything, I'd know the call was completed. 401 00:21:25,782 --> 00:21:27,306 Is that what you testified? 402 00:21:27,384 --> 00:21:31,150 I testified that you talked with Mr. Sorvino, and you did. 403 00:21:32,989 --> 00:21:35,287 That's him, Mr. Henshaw. 404 00:21:35,959 --> 00:21:39,554 Margaret's been greatly overworked the past couple of months, 405 00:21:39,629 --> 00:21:41,096 Carl thought perhaps I could help you. 406 00:21:41,164 --> 00:21:43,564 Oh, he's not with the union, Mr. Henshaw. 407 00:21:43,633 --> 00:21:46,693 He's James Rockford. Well, that's quite a coincidence. 408 00:21:46,770 --> 00:21:49,534 Just the man I've been wanting to talk to. 409 00:21:58,481 --> 00:22:01,348 You got any idea how much one of those weighs? 410 00:22:01,418 --> 00:22:05,354 Well, not offhand, no. But my Dad's parked back in front of your office. 411 00:22:05,455 --> 00:22:09,221 He spent half his life pushing a rig. He could probably tell you just like that. 412 00:22:09,292 --> 00:22:11,260 Now, why would we want to go back to the office 413 00:22:11,327 --> 00:22:13,591 when we went to all the trouble of bringing you here? 414 00:22:13,663 --> 00:22:18,066 Well, it was just a suggestion. You wanted to talk to me? 415 00:22:18,134 --> 00:22:20,193 That's right. Somewhere nice and quiet. 416 00:22:20,270 --> 00:22:21,931 Oh, watch it, Mr. Rockford. 417 00:22:23,206 --> 00:22:24,867 I'd hate to see you get hurt. 418 00:22:24,941 --> 00:22:28,433 You get hit by one of those babies, not enough left of you to put in a doggie bag. 419 00:22:28,511 --> 00:22:32,277 Okay, Mr. Henshaw, you could have saved yourself a trip. I got your message 420 00:22:32,348 --> 00:22:33,815 back at the office. 421 00:22:33,883 --> 00:22:35,578 Just exactly what do you want to know? 422 00:22:35,652 --> 00:22:38,052 I want to know why Frank Sorvino called you. 423 00:22:38,121 --> 00:22:41,557 You're not going to believe this anymore than anybody else does. 424 00:22:41,624 --> 00:22:42,852 He never called me. 425 00:22:42,926 --> 00:22:46,225 Margaret said... Yeah, well, Margaret may be a very fine secretary. 426 00:22:46,296 --> 00:22:50,630 I'm sure she is. But Margaret and Mr. Sorvino have a very cockamamie way 427 00:22:50,700 --> 00:22:52,725 of keeping track of their telephone calls. 428 00:22:52,802 --> 00:22:55,771 Now, maybe she dialed the number and maybe he picked up the extension, 429 00:22:55,839 --> 00:22:58,535 but it never went through. I never talked to him. 430 00:22:58,608 --> 00:23:01,577 Grand jury thinks you had something to do with Sorvino's kidnapping. 431 00:23:02,145 --> 00:23:05,581 Now, they think maybe you got him out of the country. 432 00:23:05,648 --> 00:23:09,448 You know, I thought that grand jury testimony was supposed to be secret. 433 00:23:09,519 --> 00:23:11,544 You're a disappointment, Mr. Rockford. 434 00:23:12,822 --> 00:23:14,619 I thought you were going to cooperate. 435 00:23:14,691 --> 00:23:19,060 I am.
