:26:04
Do you think you could get me
a picture of the Taj Mahal?

:26:09
- Yeah. Why?
- I wanna draw it.

:26:13
Taj Mahal? I expect that's
not too easy to draw.

:26:17
Well, I got 23 and a half hours
a day to get it right.

:26:28
No. No, hold our table.
:26:30
We are on our way.
:26:32
- Order a good bottle of red.
We'll be there in ten.
- No, Johnny, l...

:26:35
- The ladies are not happy.
- You gotta apologize for me, cause I gotta work tonight.
- Aw, come on.

:26:39
No, no, no, I been going through
the transcripts from the Liggett trial,
and listen to this...

:26:42
- Sam gave you Liggett?
- Yeah. He's got that guy Henry Reese.

:26:45
Well, Liggett shouldn't keep you that
busy. It's a pretty open-and-shut case.

:26:47
- No, no, not necessarily.
- Huh? Well, it always
seemed that way to me.

:26:51
- Yeah, but...
- And I'm familiar with the case.

:26:52
No. L-I found this
police report, right?

:26:54
Her brother said that she and her
codefendant had been up for two days...

:26:57
smoking crack
and robbing houses.

:26:58
At the sentencing hearing, her lawyer
doesn't say word one about drugs...

:27:01
or intoxication or even a possible
lack of premeditation.

:27:04
Well, that's a judgement call.
:27:05
Yeah, but when juries vote to execute,
the key issue is intent.

:27:08
I mean, was this murder intentional?
Was there a reasonable expectation
that death would result?

:27:12
I was a prosecutor.
I know the law.

:27:14
Well, then why didn't the lawyer use it?
'Cause this girl was blasted
out of her mind.

:27:17
It would've at least raised
a doubt with the jury.

:27:19
- Does it make it a clemency issue?
- No, not technically.

:27:21
Then stay within the guidelines
of your office and wrap this one up.

:27:23
Hold on. Does she have to die because
she had a lousy defence lawyer...

:27:26
and the father of one of her victims
is a buddy of the governor?

:27:28
No. She has to die because
she committed a double murder.

:27:30
Well, I'm not saying that she doesn't
deserve to be behind bars.

:27:33
I'm saying I don't think this woman
deserves to be put to death.

:27:38
Let's go. Come on.
:27:40
- Whoa.
- I want things to work out for you here.

:27:43
- What does that mean?
- It means be sensible.

:27:45
- Don't patronize me.
- Oh, not intended.

:27:47
- Oh, I see. I'm just supposed
to shut up and be grateful...
- No, not grateful. Successful.

:27:50
- And you're dead set on preventing it.
- Oh, boy, John, I really
appreciate your confidence.

:27:54
- I want you to have a chance.
- Oh, by putting me in a job
where no one expects anything.

:27:58
What have you done
to deserve anything more?
