the rest of my life in this prison ...

and I am innocent.

Eddie, if I go to jail

hang myself in two weeks.

No, no.

Listen, you can claim that was

to defend himself or something ...

I have a good lawyer e. ..

I know how the legal system works,

okay?

I've been there.

I deserve a future.

I deserve to feel normal

again.

I want to sleep all night,

without waking up crying.

God.

I have a family one day ...

have children ...

love ...

love myself.

I deserve to live, Eddie.

Yes, you deserve it.

Goodbye.

Then the lawyer court

would an innocent ...

be condemned?

Why?

Just because you can not

find the killer.

You will hear repeatedly

attack the character of Mr. Schneider.

Why? Why

do not have any solid evidence.

He will try to play

with your emotions ...

try to make it stop

liking of Mr. Schneider.

But, frankly ...

no matter whether they like it

or not ...

but if the lawyer court

will come with solid evidence.

Hesitation ...

is my point.

Hesitation is all they need

to acquit.

I guarantee that at the end

this trial ...

in relation to Mr. Schneider ...

will have more than a hesitation.

You had an affair

with Mr. Schneider.

Well, we saw

sometimes.

How many times he cheated

his ex-girlfriend with you?

I do not know, it happened

for a few months ...

but Eddie wanted to finish.

He hit him a lot.

We tried to hold him

but he seemed angry.

You saw him leave that morning?

No. He had gone

when I woke up.

Sure

that he had already gone?

Yes.

So from what you know, it could

have gone when you went to sleep ...

and returned to the Privilege Club ...

Anthony Birk out to wait,

to kill him.

From what you know, it could

have gone to his house that night ...

to use it as an alibi.

Why did Judy do?

Well, I wanted to try

back with her.

What time was out of Judy?

At about 06:
30 h.

Why not wait to say goodbye

morning?

Why she asked me

not to be there by morning.

Respected the desire

his ex-girlfriend ...

and early in the morning

you went home.

You had no reason

the victim to hold a grudge.

After you found out the agency's

a job with better pay ...

and you're doing

very well.

There is no reason.

- Mr. Henderson, interrogation?

- Yes, of course, Your Honor.

Mr. Schneider ...

Angelina Sable knows?

You testified at trial

the rape of Miss. Sable ...

helping the late Mr. Birk

be cleared.

I witnessed

I did not know anything.

His testimony was

a crucial evidence ...

where the deceased was acquitted ...

yes or no?

Objection, Your Honor.

- This question has been answered.

- Yes, continue.

Mr. Schneider, a month after

Anthony Birk fired him ...

after five years devoted himself to

put Birk and Partners as a leader ...

and have testified on his behalf.

You must have been very sad

actually angry?

Well, I was not happy about it, but Judy

and I'd just tear us apart ...

Mr. Birk and wanted the agency

remained in the family ...

and asked me to leave.

And I was immediately hired

as creative director.

And in court,

I just told the truth ...

said nothing to help someone.

This is absurd.

It was what I read.

Do you understand what is

under oath, Mr. Schneider?

Yes.

Mr. Schneider ...

Mr. Anthony Birk

ever blackmailed him?

No.

Thank you, Mr. Schneider.

Thank you for being so clear

about never having been blackmailed ...

Anthony Birk.

So

I guess that rules out why.

Or not?

Or we can ...

These pictures show Mr. Schneider

having several sexual encounters ...

with several women.

- Quiet, please.

- Protest.

This is acceptable, Your Honor?

I was not aware

this evidence.

Your Honor,

it qualifies as a reason.

Mr. Schneider has a copy

these same photos ...

and it is up to the accused

inform your lawyer.

I give permission.

These photographs were taken

by Lance Bokovic ...

a private investigator

hired by Anthony Birk.

Mr. Birk blackmailed Mr. Schneider

to lie in the trial of rape ...

dismissed as having

Miss. Sable.

This photo shows Miss. Sable

Mr. Schneider and ...

the day he said

have her fired.

It seems that we can not rely on

your truth, we can, Mr. Schneider?

Anthony Birk blackmailed him

to lie for him in court.

Consequently, Mr. Birk was not

arrested for raping an employee ...

And the Lord said

sleeping around.

But Miss. Birk found out about

their active sex life alone ...

and ended the relationship.

You lost your job at

of Birk felt betrayed ...

and his need for revenge

led him to kill Anthony Birk.

You tried to cover up.

He look like a sex crime.

You are a man addicted to sex,

Mr. Schneider ...

and like any addict,

can not control.

His addiction first

led him to lie ...

and then to kill.

Is not it, Mr. Schneider?

- Why not step right over it?

- Linda, please!

People like her

not deserve to live.

Mother, stop!

You brought that ordinary

into our family.

Stop the car!

Do not send me to stop ...

He said to stop the damn car.

Do not send me to stop ...

Shut up

ignorant slut!

- Do not send me to shut up!

- Shut up! Shut up!

Shut up

or I'll do it for you.

- Judy, come back!

- Let her go!

What went

through your head, man?

You stood

in a situation of no return.

What are you talking about?

I am innocent!

Why did not you say?

I did not want them to use it

against me, okay?

That's exactly what they will do now!

But I am innocent.

Eddie,

I believe in his innocence.

But, friend ...

you're the only suspect.

Okay,

I know who did it.

Who?

- Angelina Sable.

- How do you know?

She told me.

Damn, why did not you say?

You will have to testify against her

in court.

No, no.

- No, I will not.

- Why?

If I testify it will go to jail

she will hang herself.

Eddie, your gesture is very noble ...

but you really want to go to jail

for something it did not?

They can not arrest me

without proof.

Of course they can, man!

Wake up!

Innocent people go to jail

every day.

Eddie, do you believe

in statistics?

I do not know.

13% of all imprisoned for more

fifteen years, committed suicide.

So that leaves you with 87% chance

out of prison alive ...

the fifties.

It does not seem too bad, right?

Listen to this ...

according to official statistics

of the state penitentiary ...

21% die from problems

health ...

31% never recover

of psychological trauma.

35% die in discussions

in prison.

So adding it all ...

I show my stats

your chance of survival is 0%.

In other words ...

you are 100% screwed, man.

Eddie, Angelina will not catch

more than seven years ...

and it will only serve

four or five years.

Anthony Birk raped.

This will be taken into account.

All we need tomorrow ...

is that you go up there and tell the court

What Angelina told him.

Without this testimony, face,

your life is gone.

Mr. Schneider, please tell the court

about his conversation with Angelina Sable.

On March 17,

Angelina came to visit me in prison.

And she told him

during the visit?

She told me that ...

She told him that, Eddie?
