:13:01
Like an animal, they said.
:13:03
They put him in an African
prison for a year. He hasn't
spoken a word since his arrest.
:13:07
So, what do we have here?
:13:11
He lives with the animals,
:13:13
takes on their behavior.
:13:17
Becomes one.
:13:21
- How does that happen?
- Exactly.
:13:24
How?
:13:28
They want a 30-day evaluation, followed
immediately by a hearing with a judge.
:13:31
I'll give him a day to rest,
then I'll see him on Thursday.
:13:35
Uh, Ben, there's something
I want to ask you for.
:13:38
- What is it?
- Ethan Powell.
:13:41
The evaluation...
I want it.
:13:44
You don't have nearly enough
experience for a case like this.
:13:47
You know that, don't you?
Why should I give it to you?
:13:52
- Important issues here, Ben.
- Yes.
:13:55
One of them is your career,
right?
:13:58
I mean, a case like this
is all about career, and you've
been thinking about that.
:14:01
It'd be a leap for you.
:14:04
What if I can get him
to speak?
:14:07
Get Powell to speak?
:14:09
Ah. You mustn't confuse
a mute murderer...
:14:13
with little Annie Belden
and her pope fantasy...
:14:17
or Rondelli the flasher
or any of those.
:14:20
What if I can?
:14:26
Well, then you write a best-seller
about it. Am I right?
:14:32
I'm ready for this, Ben.
:14:35
Do you have a title yet?
:14:37
For the best-seller?
:14:41
Maybe.
:14:44
What is it?
Tell me.
:14:46
Is that a yes?
