:34:00
And if the jury thinks she's lying...
:34:02
that could turn the decision
against Manion.
:34:05
Isn't she lying?
:34:07
Barney didn't do what she said he did.
He couldn't have.
:34:10
- What did you know about your father?
- All I needed to know.
:34:14
He took care of me and my mother
for as long as she lived.
:34:18
He was always there
when I needed him.
:34:21
That's what I know about my father,
Mr. Biegler.
:34:24
Will that back up
Laura Manion's story?
:34:26
I don't want to get at you,
hurt you.
:34:29
I appreciate your affection
for your father.
:34:31
But as a lawyer I've had to learn
that people aren't just good or bad...
:34:37
but people are many things.
:34:39
And I kind of have a feeling
Barney Quill was many things.
:34:42
- I don't want to hear any more.
- No, please. Hear me out.
:34:45
I believe that Barney told Al Paquette
what happened that night.
:34:49
And he told him to go to this window
and wait for Manion.
:34:52
Barney stayed behind the bar
next to a gun rack,just waiting.
:34:57
Manion came in and fired
the minute he got inside that door...
:35:00
and the first shot
went right through Barney's heart.
:35:03
Now here's what I want you to do.
:35:05
I want you to try to persuade Al
to come to the court...
:35:09
as a defense witness and tell the court
what Barney told him that night--
:35:13
that he raped and assaulted
Mrs. Manion.
:35:16
Al wouldn't conceal a thing like that.
Why wouldn't he tell it if it were true?
:35:20
I don't know.
But I know this.
:35:23
Everybody loves something
or someone.
:35:27
Me, I love fishing
and an old guy by the name of Parnell.
:35:31
Manion loves his freedom.
He'd like to have a little more of it.
:35:34
Barney loved you.
Maybe so does Al.
:35:38
I wouldn't blame him.
:35:40
But he doesn't want to hurt you or
for you to know the truth about Barney--
:35:44
that he could be dangerous
and brutal.
:35:46
Now, if you just ask Al--
if you just ask him right straight out.
