L.A. Law1986

Michael Kuzak:
Earl, you gotta get real straight with me real fast. I can either go in there and attack the prosecution's DNA expert. Or, I can find one of our own experts to testify that semen wasn't yours. But before I do, I got to know. Did you go to bed with her that afternoon? Yes or no?

[Earl mumbles]

Michael Kuzak:
Yes or no, damn it!

Earl Williams:
Yes.

Michael Kuzak:
Earl, you're a smart man! You know how sophisticated the crime labs are! What do you think they were gonna find out?

Earl Williams:
I didn't think they could trace it to me.

Michael Kuzak:
So you send me in there spewing bald-face lies that the D.A. cut the links out from both of us?

Earl Williams:
I thought you'd do better job representing me if you believed I was innocent.

Michael Kuzak:
Meaning what? You're not?

Earl Williams:
I'm innocent of murder!

Michael Kuzak:
Well, it sure as hell doesn't look like that!

Earl Williams:
I know!

Michael Kuzak:
What did your wife say?

Earl Williams:
I'd rather not get into it.

Michael Kuzak:
You don't have a choice!

Earl Williams:
It's between her and me.

Michael Kuzak:
Look, I am not asking you this because I'm nosey. I have to know whether or not to put her on the stand.

Earl Williams:
Then talk to her.

Michael Kuzak:
I'm talking to you! Now, you better give me some answers that aren't lies and stop wasting my time!

Earl Williams:
[after a short pause] I went to Nina's apartment early that afternoon... and I made love with her. Afterward, we sat in the kitchen and had a cup of tea. About 4 o'clock, I kissed her goodbye and I left. [Kuzak nods his head, looking skeptic] You think I'm a liar?

Michael Kuzak:
I know you're a liar. So does the jury. The question now is whether or not they think you're a killer. We're done here.
