that he's Jewish.

Probably lean over backwards though.

He'll have to.

You think you could claim bias?

Have his verdict put aside?

Harry, I hadn't even thought of that.

You don't have a prayer,

you know that?

The Holocaust is the world's

sacred cow.

Holocaust survivors

are secular saints.

You'd be better off pissing on

the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier...

...than trying to cross-examine him.

- How's my grandson?

- Fine.

That's all you ever say about him.

" He's fine."

He's fine.

When you've settled in, you can use my

secretaries, they're at your disposal.

By the way, Mischka didn't do it,

did he?

This is it.

- So I'll see you later then?

- Yeah.

Bring me a Scotch and a bottle

of whatever Mrs. Talbot's drinking.

I had a professor

in law school who'd say:

" Don't ever let a case beat you down.

Always trust what you feel inside."

But he wasn't a litigator.

He was dropping pearls of wisdom

on young, idealistic students.

You're trusting your heart.

And you're going to get it broken.

What are you trusting,

your ambitions?

Lt must be devastating to have to read

those things about someone you love.

I'm sorry.

I don't want your condescension.

Come on, have a drink.

You've got the wrong man.

I wish we did.

You know, it's a perfect camouflage.

Raise a couple of all-American kids...

...and you avoid even a shadow

of suspicion.

- You know, you're his perfect alibi.

- Yeah?

I'm sorry.

Oh, violence runs in the family.

F*** you.

Now, when I say go,

we both point to the right.

Go.

- Hey, porcupine. Come here.

- Hi.

- Dinner's ready.

- Point to the right, will you?

I'm not gonna eat.

How can you watch this?

What's the matter?

How would you feel, Papa,

if we had a Jewish judge?

You think it's a good idea?

A funny idea, that's for sure.

- He's a good judge.

- Okay. If you think so, it's okay.

Papa, why didn't we ever

have any Jewish friends?

How are we gonna meet?

Our friends, we see at church,

on the west side.

Jews live on the other side.

At mill, I have Jewish friends.

Why didn't you ever invite them

to the house?

They no invite me to come over.

At the university,

you dated a Jewish boy.

I told you not to date a Jewish boy.

Papa, tell me about

the Special Section.

Those...

...killers. Close to the SS.

Commando.

I don't know.

I've got nothing to do with them.

Papa...

...they have a Photostat

of a Special Section ID card...

...with your signature,

with your picture on it.

It's not possible.

Where did they get it?

The Hungarian government

turned it over to them.

I tell you, they...

They put my gendarme picture

on it.

My... My writing.

To fake. To fake the card.

They got witnesses.
