:19:01
You want an honest answer?
l am feeling my oats.
:19:05
- Good.
- l think l can get him off.
:19:08
Besides, he makes a very good
case for his own innocence.
:19:11
- l believe him.
- Well, l can see you're
talking yourself into it.
:19:16
He should be able to afford
the very best defence, eh?
:19:19
l thought you'd find
something positive about it.
:19:30
You actually showed up.
:19:32
You can't-- You can't imagine
how much better l feel...
:19:35
- just knowing that you're here.
- Well, don't feel too good.
:19:38
The State's Attorney's Office
say the lab reports show...
:19:39
your fingerprints
all over that window.
:19:41
And the houseboy claims he
cleaned it just the day before.
:19:44
l-lt was stuck.
Rita deliberately...
:19:47
got me to open the window
that morning.
:19:49
Can anybody corroborate that?
:19:54
lt was after the houseboy went out.
:19:56
Goddam it. Don't you think
if l was gonna toss my wife
out the fuckin' window,
:19:59
l'd have the common sense to
wipe my fingerprints off of it?
:20:04
You don't have to convince me.
:20:09
- Okay.
- Rodriguez! Your defence
counsellor is here.
:20:14
Here's a copy of the letter she sent
to the State's Attorney's Office.
:20:22
Beautiful.
:20:24
According to her, l may as well have
taken an ad out in the Chicago Trib.
:20:28
Our first problem is gonna be
to get you free on bail,
:20:31
which is always very difficult
in a capital offence.
:20:38
Then l guess l got me
an attorney.
:20:42
Can you post bond?
:20:45
Well, my wife's family
has tied up all the assets,
:20:48
but Miriam said that she would
stand for the bond and--
:20:51
Oh, and she said
she'd pay your fee.
:20:54
- Miriam?
- Miriam Langford.
:20:56
She's a dear friend.
