Jagged Edge Page #7

To tie him into the Santa Cruz crime?

He's had months to tie him but can't.

He's innocent and you know it.

That's why he didn't turn over

her statement to me.

How did you find her? How did you?

She kept her name out of the papers.

- We saw the police report.

- We pulled it.

You pulled the police report?

You've breached the canon of ethics,

Mr. Krasny.

Now, your request is denied.

If it were up to me, I'd vote to disbar you.

He told you, didn't he? He told you.

What did he do? Did he phone you?

- Send you anonymous notes?

- You'll stop at nothing, won't you?

Anyone could've sent those notes.

Everyone knew.

The police knew,

people in your office knew.

Bullshit!

Don't you understand what he did?

He did the identical crime

He knew it would get him off the hook.

He knew Bobby Slade was seeing his wife.

That's why he did the first crime

in Santa Cruz.

He threw us Bobby Slade as a suspect.

He picked that woman very carefully.

He knew she played tennis with Slade.

He planned this for 18 months.

He is not a psychopath.

He is an iceman.

He is a monster!

You're the monster, Tom.

If you make any attempt to implicate

Mr. Forrester in the Santa Cruz crime...

...I shall strike it.

He is not charged with that offence.

They're in.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

have you reached a verdict?

We have, your Honour.

Not guilty.

We stand in recess.

I'm proud of you!

I'd like to say something, please.

I'd like to say something, please.

Four years ago, I resigned my job

as an assistant district attorney.

I'd like to tell you why.

I prosecuted a case with Mr. Krasny.

It was a very newsworthy case.

The kind of case that wins elections,

makes careers.

We convicted the man and he went to jail.

A week after the trial, I discovered...

...that during the trial...

...one of our investigators

had come up with evidence...

...which would have exonerated

the man we were prosecuting...

...and that Mr. Krasny

had buried that evidence.

Although I found...

I didn't do anything.

I didn't tell anyone.

I let that man...

He hanged himself in prison.

I will have to learn to live with that...

...somehow.

The People versus Henry Styles...

...Case Number 26022.

Mr. Krasny,

do you have a comment on that?

- We want a statement, please.

- Do you have any comment, please?

Your partners are very proud of you.

This verdict has been

a terrific vindication for our legal system.

It couldn't have happened

without Teddy Barnes.

Where are you?

- Congratulations!

- Congratulations!

- Congratulations!

- Congratulations!

What's going on?

We're going to my house

to let you celebrate.

I have no one to celebrate with

except you guys.

- Yes you do. Come on, you guys.

- Goodbye, Mum.

I feel vindicated,

I think more than anything else.

This verdict has been

a great vindication of our system.

It couldn't have happened

without Teddy Barnes.

I'll never be able to thank her.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Mr. Forrester.

That's Jack Forrester...

...found not guilty of those brutal murders

of his wife and her maid.

That's the situation here.

This word,

just in to the Channel 7 newsroom.

Police are seeking Hillsborough

Country Club tennis pro, Bobby Slade...

...for questioning

in the Baker Beach killings.

We'll have full details

and a film report at 1 1:00.

Good morning.

- Good afternoon.

- What time is it?

The time is 3:
30.

Are you hungry?

- I'm starving.

- I made some brunch down there for us.

I'm going to the stables.

I'll be back in 10 or 15 minutes.

You know how I feel?

I feel free!

Free!

Where are you going?

It's David. He has a fever.

I've got to go home.

No.

Go on, Ed.

- What's the matter with him?

- I don't know. Matthew called.

- I'll come with you.

- No. I'll call.

Here, let me try.

Can I at least kiss you goodbye?

Hello? Teddy?

- Yes.

- How's David?

He's fine.

What was the matter with him?

I...

Nothing.

You said he had a fever.

I found the typewriter.

What typewriter?

What are you talking about?

You killed her.

What is the matter with you?

- Teddy, I love you.

- No.

- Will you listen to me?

- No.

- I'm on my way over.

- No!

- Hello?

- Sam?

What the hell's the matter? Are you okay?

- I need to talk to you.

- About what?

Teddy, what is it?

What is it?

What is it?

For Christ's sake, what is it?

Nothing.

I just wanted to...

I just wanted to say thank you.

Thank me?

What the f*** do you have

to thank me for, baby?

They got a warrant out on Bobby Slade.

They're going to charge him.

Did you hear me?

I don't want to hear about Bobby Slade.

Are you sure you're all right?

Sure you don't want me to come over?

No.

No, nothing's wrong.

It's all right now.

'Bye, Sam.

I need to see your face, Jack.

I could've loved --

Jesus Christ.

F*** him. He was trash.
