I knew it would come out all right.

Thank you.

Yes, Alan, thank you.

I am eternally grateful.

Hey, this means we'll be getting back

your bail. A million dollars.

I know I still owe you, Alan.

Please send me your bill.

And maybe when you're in New York

we can meet for lunch. I'd enjoy that.

One thing, Claus. Legally,

this was an important victory.

Morally, you're on your own.

Claus von Bulow was given a

second trial and acquitted on both counts.

This is all you can know,

all you can be told.

When you get where I am,

you will know the rest.

Claus von Bulow is still

married to Sunny von Bulow.

He is presently living

and working in London.

The Johnson brothers

remain on death row.

Sunny von Bulow has not spoken

since she fell into her final coma.

This film is based upon Alan Dershowitz's

book Reversal Of Fortune

and public records.

Dialogue and certain events

and characters contained in the film

were created for

the purpose of dramatization.

Two packs of Vantage, please.

- Anything else?

- Yes, a vial of insulin.

Just kidding.
