:26:00
...the judge promising
him a new trial?
:26:03
The judge died three weeks
after the case was closed.
:26:05
He's been dead for eleven years.
:26:07
Wiecek is a smart cookie...
:26:09
...giving me a lead he knew
I could never check.
:26:11
Why don't you try a different lead?
:26:14
Mac, we're getting an a average...
:26:15
...of twenty phone calls
an hour from our readers.
:26:18
And every time the phone rings...
:26:20
...you keep seeing
a big juicy headline.
:26:22
'Chicago Times Clears Innocent Man'.
:26:25
Why not?
- Why not? It's impossible, Kelly.
:26:27
You can't do this thing.
- Mac...
:26:29
...if you don't like the story,
if you think he is guilty, end it.
:26:33
Write a finish piece and kill it.
:26:35
I'll take that deal.
:26:37
I'll interview his wife.
:26:38
She believed in him so much
she divorced him.
:26:42
That ought to kill up for good.
:27:00
- I'm looking for Helen Rayska.
- Yes?
:27:02
I'm McNeal, of the Times. I'm doing
a series on the Wiecek case.
:27:06
Yes, I read them. Please come in.
:27:11
This way, sirs.
:27:13
Excuse me.
:27:15
Just a minute.
:27:19
I got your address from your former
mother in law, Tillie Wiecek.
:27:23
I haven't seen her since the divorce.
:27:26
I guess she doesn't feel
very kindly towards me.
:27:29
Will you sit down, please?
:27:34
Do you think there's a chance
Frank will get free?
:27:37
Do you want him to?
Sure I want him to.
:27:42
Would you be waiting for him?
:27:46
No.
:27:48
No, I wouldn't. I'm married again.
:27:52
But I'd be glad for Frank...
:27:54
...because he's a fine man...
:27:56
...and because he's innocent.
:27:58
He was at home with me when
the policeman was killed.
