:11:00
Just have her ask for Detective McLeod.
:11:03
McLeod?
:11:04
- Yes, sir.
- Come in here.

:11:08
Hey, Red...
:11:11
This is Detective McLeod, Mr. Sims.
:11:13
- How do you do?
- How do you do?

:11:14
- He's an attorney.
- And very clever. I've seen him in court.

:11:16
He represents Karl Schneider.
:11:23
I had the pleasure
of arresting your client a year ago.

:11:26
So I'm informed.
:11:28
He's changed his lawyer since,
if not his business.

:11:30
Mr. Schneider is a retired doctor.
He has a farm in New Jersey.

:11:33
With a little sideline in New York.
A very profitable one.

:11:36
Where's your boy?
:11:37
He's ready to surrender himself
on the warrant you had issued.

:11:40
Fine. Bring him in.
:11:42
Before I do, I have here some photographs.
:11:45
Now, these were taken only an hour ago.
:11:49
Nudes? Ugly, isn't he?
:11:51
- Well, he's no Mr. America.
- No, that he's not.

:11:54
Now, you'll observe, there are
no bruises or lacerations of any kind.

:11:57
This is the way
I'm delivering my client to you...

:11:59
and this the way I want him back.
:12:01
I should think that any change
whatsoever would be an improvement.

:12:03
And I want you to know,
I'm not going to allow you...

:12:05
to violate his constitutional rights.
You're not to abuse him physically...

:12:09
nor degrade his dignity
as a human being. Do you understand?

:12:11
I saw one of your client's patients last
year, in the morgue, on a marble slab.

:12:14
Wasn't much human left of her,
and very little dignity.

:12:17
My client was innocent of that charge.
The court acquitted him.

:12:19
Insufficient evidence. But he was guilty.
:12:21
What are you going to do,
try the case here? Save it for the judge.

:12:25
For over a year, McLeod, you,
personally, have been making...

:12:28
my client's life a living nightmare. Why?
:12:33
Because I'm annoyed by criminals that
get away with murder. They upset me.

:12:37
- That's your story.
- Yeah.

:12:38
I've investigated and discovered otherwise.
:12:40
- What are you driving at, Sims?
- What?

:12:42
Nothing, yet.
:12:43
I vouch for every man on my squad,
and that goes for McLeod.

:12:46
If you've got something to say, say it.
:12:47
When it serves my purpose, not before.
:12:49
Meanwhile, Lieutenant, I'm warning you:
Not a hand on my client.

:12:57
What's he driving at?
:12:59
- A fishing expedition.
- Not without bait.
