:25:00
You are welcome.
:25:01
Yes, the Time's is going to continue
with the Wiecek case.

:25:04
You are welcome.
:25:17
Yes, thank you very much for calling.
:25:22
That's right, lady.
:25:23
I guess the Times is going
to follow up the case.

:25:25
Yes, bye.
:25:26
What are you going to use
for a follow-up?

:25:28
What follow-up?
:25:29
It's snowballing and they
want more of it.

:25:32
You want to give me a raise...
:25:33
...or do I just get the 5,000
from Wiecek's mother?

:25:36
Look, Mac, my job is to print
the news that are fit to print.

:25:39
Has it occurred to you
that we might be selling...

:25:42
...this dead cop short?
:25:44
Maybe he had a mother who
scrubbed floors, too.

:25:58
Remember what Wiecek said about...
:26:00
...the judge promising
him a new trial?

:26:03
The judge died three weeks
after the case was closed.

:26:05
He's been dead for eleven years.
:26:07
Wiecek is a smart cookie...
:26:09
...giving me a lead he knew
I could never check.

:26:11
Why don't you try a different lead?
:26:14
Mac, we're getting an a average...
:26:15
...of twenty phone calls
an hour from our readers.

:26:18
And every time the phone rings...
:26:20
...you keep seeing
a big juicy headline.

:26:22
'Chicago Times Clears Innocent Man'.
:26:25
Why not?
- Why not? It's impossible, Kelly.

:26:27
You can't do this thing.
- Mac...

:26:29
...if you don't like the story,
if you think he is guilty, end it.

:26:33
Write a finish piece and kill it.
:26:35
I'll take that deal.
:26:37
I'll interview his wife.
:26:38
She believed in him so much
she divorced him.

:26:42
That ought to kill up for good.
