You're under arrest for the murders
of Page Forrester and Consuela Martinez.
Frank, read him his rights.
You have the right to remain silent.
If you give up that right...
...anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.
Mr. Forrester is the editor
of the "San Francisco Times..."
...and president of Times-Lofton Publishing.
He is, however,
charged with two capital offence felonies.
But, your Honour, the charges are based
purely on circumstantial evidence.
Mr. Forrester has no prior criminal record.
I don't expect him to flee the jurisdiction.
Fine. The set bail of $500,000 will stand.
I made some calls back east.
I'll get you a heavy hitter.
I don't want anyone from out of town.
I don't want to contribute
to the goddamn circus.
Your firm has got to handle it.
We're corporate lawyers.
We can barely handle a hearing.
- Jack, you got something for us?
- What do you think?
I'm innocent. That's all I can say.
- What do you think of Krasny?
- No further comment.
Come on!
Isn't this related to the Senate race?
No further comment.
My paper has been critical of Mr. Krasny's
conduct as district attorney.
That's no secret. He's an ambitious guy.
He's got big political aspirations...
...so you can draw
your own conclusions. Excuse me.
No comments at this time. Please, folks.
This will be a show trial, for God's sake.
We've only one person
who's had any criminal experience.
- Who is he?
- She.
And she hasn't practised criminal law
for four years.
Jack, give us a --
- Is she any good?
- Yes, she was a very good prosecutor.
She worked for Krasny.
Well.
Teddy, are you familiar
with the Forrester case?
I go out of my way
not to be familiar with criminal cases.
Mr. Forrester wishes to speak to you
about representing him.
I'm in the middle of a case, Andrew.
I think it can wait, don't you, Andrew?
Oh, yes. Teddy --
Nothing in the world will make me go back
to criminal work, Andrew.
You know the decision I made.
There is nothing in the world I'd like less
than to lose Jack Forrester as a client.
Teddy, you know the affection
I've always had for you.
Nothing would please me more...
...than one day being able to speak to you
as one of my partners.
Please, do an old man a personal kindness.
Speak to him.
Who lives here anyway, Joe Montana?
I told you. A guy called Jack Forrester.
He killed his wife. I saw it on TV.
That means he's gonna get away with it.
So, how do I look?
Weird.
- Good morning, madam.
- 'Morning.
Mr. Forrester is expecting you.
No, I agree Carl, but the murders
happened over two months ago...
...and there's no leads
