:08:00
what shall we read
this evening, counselor?
:08:02
How about a little
ChiefJustice Holmes?
:08:09
Keep ChiefJustice on hold for a moment.
I might have a client.
:08:12
- Waiting for a call. Hello?
- Mr, Biegler?
:08:15
- This is Paul Biegler speaking.
- It's your party,
:08:17
- Hello? Mrs. Manion?
- What?
:08:19
Mr, Biegler?
:08:21
I'm sorry I missed you a while ago.
Did you get my message?
:08:23
- Who is that? What is that name?
-Just a minute, please.
:08:26
We seem to have a bad connection.
Hold on.
:08:28
It's a woman, name of Manion.
Maida took a message from her.
:08:31
- In Thunder Bay?
- Uh-huh.
:08:33
If she wants you to represent
her husband, say yes.
:08:35
- I don't know what it's all about.
- Pretend you do and say yes.
:08:39
- Hello?
- Mr, Biegler?
:08:40
Oh, yes. This is much better now.
Yes, I can hear you fine.
:08:43
I've waited for your call
all afternoon.
:08:46
Yes, well, I just got in
a few moments ago,
:08:49
You've read about my husband?
Muffy, please.
:08:51
Yes.
:08:53
Mr, Biegler, have you read
about my husband? Muffy, please,
:08:57
Well, uh, yes, I have, a little.
:09:00
- Will you defend him?
- I don't know.
:09:03
- I'd have to know more about it.
- Will you talk to him?
:09:06
Mr. Biegler, he's in the county jail.
Will you see him in the morning?
:09:09
He's very anxious to see you.
You've been so highly recommended.
:09:13
I have?
:09:14
Yes, someone told him about you,
Will you see him?
:09:17
I suppose I could.
I'll see him tomorrow morning.
:09:21
- Would you want me there too?
- I think that'd be fiine,
:09:24
Let's make it about 1 0:00.
:09:27
Thank you,
Thank you so much,
:09:29
Yes, you're quite welcome.
Bye.
:09:31
Now, what's this all about?
:09:33
A man named Barney Quill
raped Mrs. Manion.
:09:36
Her husband, he's a lieutenant
in the army--
:09:38
there's a temporary base in Thunder Bay,
a gunnery or something--
:09:41
The lieutenant goes to Quill's place
and plugs Mr. Quill about five times...
:09:46
which causes Mr. Quill to promptly die
of lead poisoning.
:09:49
- When did this happen?
- A couple of nights ago.
:09:51
If you hadn't been out fishing
in some godforsaken backwater...
:09:53
you'd have known about it.
