Daniel Morales:
Friend.

Frank Osgood:
Morales.

Daniel Morales:
As the prisoner rights advocate, I hear a lot of guys claim their innocent.

Frank Osgood:
33 years and 2 months. I love the woman. I didn't kill her.

Daniel Morales:
That's why I'm here. I have a signed confession by someone who agrees with you. His name is Phillip Tice.

Frank Osgood:
Why is he coming forward now?

Daniel Morales:
Mr. Tice's dying of stomach cancer. And I'm afraid of burning in hell.

[Frank chuckling. Frank sighed]

Frank Osgood:
I'm living in it.

[Daniel silent]

Frank Osgood:
So when do I get out?

Daniel Morales:
Courts are skeptical the third party confessions. Before I could do anything, I need Tice to take a polygraph, see if he's for real.

Frank Osgood:
For real? I've been in this bit half my life, writing or be for a crime I didn't commit. That's real.

Daniel Morales:
Well, it's your call.

[Daniel takes a seat]

Daniel Morales:
If you want to pursue this, I'll handle the case.

Frank Osgood:
I was 27 years old, when that son of a b*tch put me away. Prosecutor and the DA's office smug, cocky, phone in New England accent, I'll never forget him... Leland McKenzie.

[Daniel is going to find out about Leland McKenzie in his story]
