Hillary and I are engaged to be married.

Hello, Miss Bless.

I'm Ward.

Oh, Mr. Ward, good to finally meet you.

You didn't mention the engagement in

your letters. Go clean yourself up.

Well, it only just

happened. He just proposed.

Oh, that looks nasty.

Well, how did I do that?

(Ward)

Excuse me a second.

Get Miss Bless something to

drink. I'm Yardley Acheman.

We thought you

and Hillary hadn't met.

Well, only in pictures,

but we been writing

each other for months

and we understand

ourselves just perfect.

(Yardley) Ward, where

should I put her files?

Everything you need to know

about Van Wetter

that's been in the papers,

is here in these boxes.

Our exciting correspondence

is in that box.

In case

you're interested.

[laughs]

My desk, Jackie boy.

Mr. Jansen, I really

just wanted to thank you.

I wanted to thank you

for returning my letters.

And for helping me get

Hillary out of that hellhole.

Well, I wouldn't go booking

the honeymoon just yet.

But we are going

to fight his sentence

and the way

it came about.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Nobody deserves the

death penalty, Miss Bless.

Not even

Hillary Van Wetter.

um, excuse me. So, everything

is ordered alphabetically.

I was telling, um...

what's your name?

Yardley.

of the files,

U m, everything that's

been in the papers,

is in the top box. This

is gonna be a great help.

He's an innocent man.

You're gonna find that out.

Wrongly convicted.

This is gonna get us

off to a great start.

I've done a lot of research. I see that.

In the meantime, you need

to freshen up or anything?

Jack, show Miss Bless to the

washroom. I think I'll just stay here.

You might have some questions

that you need answered.

I can freshen

up just here.

Cold beer for me, Jack.

You're adorable, Jack.

I will take an iced tea if you have it.

You want anything,

Ward? (Ward) I'm good.

You'll see, uh...

[indistinct]

it's an enormous amount of

work... What's with the boxes?

(Ward) I don't know what to

do here. What's with the boxes?

Well, we 're

gonna start on it.

(Anita, off) My Jack was in

love with Charlotte Bless.

I could tell
