2:05:03
- But if I don't, you'll be risking your life.
- I know that.
2:05:06
- Well, then why?
- Because of Ted.
2:05:08
What are you afraid of, what he'll think?
He loves you.
2:05:11
It would ruin his life,
married to a girl who... .
2:05:15
Not a respectable person in town
would accept him.
2:05:18
"Respectable. " What kind of
respectability are you talking about?
2:05:22
The people with enough money
to hire him as a lawyer.
2:05:25
Look, don't you understand?
We're talking about your whole life.
2:05:29
Prison can be a kind of dying.
2:05:32
Losing Ted would be
a worse kind of dying.
2:05:36
- Besides, you mustn't get involved.
- Never mind about me.
2:05:40
Promise me you won't tell them.
Promise me, please promise!
2:05:46
All right, Selena. I'll promise you.
2:05:51
You don't seem to realize you face
a possible life sentence.
2:05:54
- I need more to work with, much more.
- There is no more.
2:05:58
Lucas was drunk and brutal.
When he tried to beat me, I killed him.
2:06:02
Killing in self-defense is understandable.
But you hid the body, like a criminal.
2:06:07
- I know.
- She was fighting for her life.
2:06:10
The state is sending a prosecutor
for one purpose: to convict Selena.
2:06:13
I've seen him work. He's thoroughly
competent and relentless as law itself.
2:06:18
Tell her to come in. There must be
something you haven't told me.
2:06:22
- He tried to kill me, I killed him first.
- But you hid the body! Why?
2:06:26
Come in, Allison.
2:06:28
Allison.
2:06:30
I was never happier to see
anyone in my life.
2:06:32
Are you all right?
2:06:35
- Hi, Ted.
- Hi, Allison.
2:06:37
I can testify about Lucas.
I saw him beat her.
2:06:40
It'll help, believe me.
2:06:42
- We appreciate you coming back.
- You'll get her off, won't you?
2:06:45
We're gonna do the best we can.
2:06:48
But the jury decides
on the one thing: evidence.
2:06:52
Now, it adds up to this:
2:06:54
We have a murder, and a defense
that's too simple to be good.
2:06:57
It's open to attack from many sides.
