No, you don't.

You just want to get closer

to have a better look.

- What are you doing, Mum?

- Homework, nothing much.

I could sure use a hug, though.

- You're such a good hugger!

- Really?

Really.

Mum?

What?

Do you ever...

Do you ever think about boys

and all that stuff?

Sometimes.

Do you ever think about it with Dad?

Sometimes.

- Mum?

- What?

I liked it when Dad was here

the other night.

I miss him, Mum.

- Give me the bottom line, Dan.

- The bottom line?

A straight, solid graph.

The machine loves him.

He's telling the truth.

Or he's the kind of ice cube

even the machine can't melt.

Is he psychopathic?

No, but he's manipulative.

He didn't get where he is

without being manipulative.

Neither did l, neither did you.

But did he do that bloodbath?

I don't know.

But if you're asking me whether

I think he's capable of doing that...

I saw nothing that would lead me

to that conclusion.

Sam, come on in.

Thank you, doctor. I'll call you later.

All right. I've got 832 pages,

signed, sealed and delivered...

...by Thomas Krasny, Esq.

The People versus John C. Forrester.

It really took Krasny two months

to put this together?

Christ's sake,

he's got him tied to that f***ing knife.

No, he doesn't. He has a janitor who

claims to have seen a knife in a locker.

- The next best thing, isn't it?

- Nope. lt's not good enough.

It's circumstantial. Krasny doesn't have

the knife that killed Forrester's wife.

The janitor isn't identifying it.

What about this friend of his wife's?

This Virginia Howell?

It's hearsay coming from one witness.

Kathy, would you get Mr. Forrester

on the phone for me, please?

Thank you.

Krasny's too smart.

He's holding something back,

that son of a b*tch. He's got to have more.

Teddy, I gotta tell you.

I've been watching this guy

for months now.

Do you wanna know what I think?

- What I really think?

- What do you think?

He killed her.

Hi.

He's got a witness

who saw a hunting knife...

...in your locker at the country club.

I figured something like that.

It's complete bullshit.

May I use your phone?

He described it.

Said it was 6 inches long and --

I never had any kind of knife in my locker.

Why would he be lying?

All I can tell you is, it never happened.

Did you always want to be a lawyer?

I always wanted to be a prosecutor.

My dad was a cop.

What'd I get myself into?

You want some more of this?

No.

You're a very pretty lady.

Now she thinks, maybe he did do it.

It sounds like he's coming on to me.

You like to play games, don't you?

Racquetball. I play every day.

I used to play, years ago.

We should play. You still look in shape.

I don't play games with my clients.
