But my boy, someday he get out.
Well, I got to hand it to ya, Mrs. Wiecek.
You got a lot of courage.

I'm only a reporter.
I just write the story.
Well, good luck to you.
Good-bye.
[ Typewriters Clacking ]...
Great job, Mac.
- Thanks, Johnny.
Mac.
Hey, this story on the scrub woman--
pretty good.
How'd you like to follow it up
by goin' out to Stateville...
...and interviewin' her son?
- Well, now, wait a minute.
I didn't write this story
to glorify the son. He's a cop-killer.
Well, you got any proof he's a cop-killer?
Well, they didn't give him
He had a record.
He was on probation when he shot the cop.
Yeah, I know.
I read the record too.
broke into a grocery store.
He got two bucks and a record.
But in this case,
an eyewitness...
...identified him as one of the killers.
The Supreme Court reviewed the trial.
The conviction was upheld.
Well, so what? It wouldn't hurt anything to
hear what the guy has to say, would it?
Well, why-- If you go out there--
- Well, look, Mac.
Let's put it this way...
...maybe I'm interested
for personal reasons.
Maybe I'm interested
'cause my mother did the same thing.
...more than 11 years to
send me through school.
Okay, I'll go out to the pen
tomorrow and see him.
How about expenses?
- Here's a voucher. Take it to the cashier.
Kelly?
- Hmm?
I happen to know
your mother had a small annuity.
She never scrubbed a floor in her life.
You never got past the fifth grade.
But I figure if you pull such a corny gag
as this, you must want me to go pretty bad.
So I'm going.
But l-- I want you to know that
you didn't get away with it.
Jim?
- Yeah..
You're early tonight.
What happened?
Oh, I got to get up 8:30 in the morning,
go out to Stateville...
...and see that scrub woman's boy.
Got something to eat for me?
- Mm-hmm, it's all ready.
Hey.
Hi.
- Hi.
Hey. Got a new one, huh?
Isn't a beauty?
Five hundred pieces.
Say, I can't see how a smart girl like you...
...can spend so much time on these things.
Oh, I noticed you worked on the last one.
- Mmm.
You know, that was a marvelous yarn
you wrote about that Polish woman.
Had a lot of feeling.
What a magnificent thing that old lady did.
Yeah. Everybody's touched.
Especially Kelly.
I was too. Makes you feel warm.
Well, I hit it pretty hard.
But don't start believin' it.
I read the files on the case.
