because Krasny's locked into me.

Excuse me, I'll be right with you.

I'll tell you guys

what I'm gonna do at the meeting.

All right, I've gotta go.

I'll be home all evening,

so if you need me you can catch me here.

All right, 'bye.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- I'm glad you came.

- Nice to meet you.

Nice meeting you.

We met at a party five or six years ago.

You probably don't remember.

You said you like horses.

Very much.

Come on.

- Andrew spoke to you?

- Yes, he did.

And?

And the problem is,

I just don't do criminal work anymore.

Yes, I know, he told me.

I was hoping you'd reconsider.

I didn't kill my wife.

- I didn't ask you if you did.

- If you represented me, you would.

I'd ask about the case

they had against you.

I'd want to win my case.

Did you win all your cases

when you were a prosecutor?

Yes, I won every one.

Is that why you wanted me

to represent you?

Yes, and because you're a woman

and because you're good.

You know what Krasny's capable of.

Thanks, Karen.

All right, let's show her what you got.

Come on!

I love this beauty.

He was Page's pride and joy.

Isn't he beautiful?

The oldest equine species.

The most beautiful...

...perfectly tempered...

"It makes men imperious

to sit on a horse."

Oliver Wendell Holmes, right?

Well, he was wrong.

Look at his legs.

Shows how vulnerable we all are.

What's with this lead on Krasny

we're running Sunday?

It's a profile. Reviews his career,

Iooks at the Senate race.

The Senate race is nine months away!

- I just thought now would be --

- Look, folks!

I don't want any slant, any bias

on our coverage of my case or of Krasny.

You hear me?

I've put my nuts into this paper

for 15 years. I want objective coverage.

I'll be taking a leave of absence

until my trial's over.

Carl's gonna be running things.

I'm gonna miss you.

Thank you.

You know how much I'm gonna miss

these goddamn machines?

- Good evening, Mrs. Barnes.

- Good evening.

- Is Mr. Barnes here?

- Yes, right over there.

- Hi.

- Sorry I'm late.

We went to the zoo.

David's been after me for weeks.

Damn! I was gonna take him

to the zoo next weekend.

Oh, well, we'll just do something else.

Starving.

Did I hear something about you

and the Forrester case?

You heard wrong.

Matthew, remember Tom Krasny?

May l?

I think you should take the case.

- Think of the fun we'll have.

- It wouldn't be any fun.

Maybe you're right.

Too bad about Styles.

What?

Don't you remember Henry Styles?

He's dead.

What?

I'm sorry.

You didn't know.

He hanged himself.

When?

Day before yesterday.

I don't know how you figure it.

Teddy and I send this guy to the joint

four years ago.
