Beyond A Reasonable Doubt Page #5

we've ever dreamed of.

I'm talking about the Pulitzer Prize.

- You're also talking about prison.

- Just hear me out.

When I'm done, you say no

we don't do it. It's your choice.

Of course it will mean you'll spend

the rest of your numbered days

producing ticky tidbits

from a minor league infield.

And it'll also mean

you have no scrotal sack.

We gonna cut to commercial

before we do Final Jeopardy?

Right, cut to the chase.

We both know that Hunter is bringing

in fake DNA to get those convictions.

- Right.

- We don't know exactly how,

- but we know that he's doing it.

- Mm-hmm.

- You with me?

- So far, yeah.

Well, there's one way

we can prove it.

- And is this the risky part?

- Not yet.

First we have to wait

for the right murder.

What do you...

the right murder?

The murder of some

anonymous person, okay?

Some junkie or hooker

where the cops have no suspect

and they really don't give a sh*t.

And there's got to be some

vague physical evidence

like a tire track

or a footprint.

Not a lot.

And it's got to happen

when I have no alibi.

Who needs an ali...

why can't you have one?

I can't have an alibi 'cause that's when

we plant the circumstantial evidence.

We what?

We plant enough circumstantial

evidence that it points to me.

- You're shitting me.

- I sh*t you not.

We not only plant it,

you document us planting it.

You tape me doing it,

each time with the day's

newspaper in the shot.

That way we can prove that

the evidence came after the fact.

Aren't there laws

against this kind of thing?

More than one.

Anyway, enough circumstantial evidence

and District Attorney Mark S Hunter

won't be able to resist.

He'll arrest me, he'll indict me

and he'll put me on trial.

And not only will he

have a high profile case,

he will have a truly sexy, juicy,

front page lead story

that'll tie up the nomination

for governor.

And he'll have a white defendant

that he won't be able to resist.

Is there a change of seasons

on your planet?

Because he could never ever

ever afford to lose this case.

And he'll only have

circumstantial evidence.

Some trace of my DNA

will suddenly be found,

just like it was in all the other cases.

Only this time after he introduces it,

you get the video

and we show it in court.

You think there's a chance a judge

won't have much of a sense of humor

about this?

A judge will go stark raving apeshit.

The pandemonium this'll create

by graphically proving

that Hunter is crooked,

that'll overshadow everything.

Do you have any idea

how big of a story this will be?

Do you really think the DA's office

is gonna want to prosecute us

after this thing breaks?

Look, we know a wrong
