1 You did a wonderful job. Wonderful!2 You've listened to a long and complex case, murder in the first degree.3 Premeditated murder is the most serious charge tried in our criminal courts.4 You've listened to the testimony. You've had the law interpreted to you.5 It is now your duty to sit down and separate the facts from the fancy.6 One man is dead. Another man's life is at stake.7 If there's a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the accused...8 ...a reasonable doubt, then you must bring me a verdict of not guilty.9 If there's no reasonable doubt, you must in good conscience... 10 ...find the accused guilty. 11 However you decide, your verdict must be unanimous. 12 If you find the accused guilty, the bench will not consider any mercy. 13 The death sentence is mandatory in this case. 14 You are faced with a grave responsibility. Thank you, gentlemen. 15 The alternate jurors are excused. 16 The jury will now retire. 17 Piece of gum? 18 - No, thanks. - This thing isn't moving. 19 Give me a hand. That's it. 20 You know something? I called the weather bureau. 21 This is going to be the hottest day of the year. 22 - You'd think they'd air-condition. - What is your name, sir?23 - It's that one. - Thank you very much. 24 Okay, gentlemen. Everybody's here.25 If there's anything you want, I'll be right outside the door. Just knock. 26 I never knew they locked the door. 27 Sure they lock the door. What'd you think?28 I don't know. It just never occurred to me. 29 - What's that for? - I thought we might vote by ballot. 30 Great idea. Maybe we can get him elected senator.31 - How'd you like it? - I don't know. It was interesting. 32 Yeah? I almost fell asleep. 33 - I've never been on a jury before. - Yeah? I've sat on many juries.34 What gets me is how the lawyers talk, even when it's an open-and-shut case. 35 - Ever hear so much talk about nothing? - They're entitled. 36 They're entitled. It's the system. 37 I'd slap those tough kids down before they start any trouble. 38 It'd save us time and money. 39 - Let's get started. - Good idea. 40 Let's get going. We all have things to do. 41 Let's start with a five-minute break. One man's in the bathroom. 42 - Are we going to sit normal? - I don't know. I guess so. 43 You're in my seat. 44 - Excuse me. - That's all right. 45 Hey, that's not a bad view, huh? 46 What'd you think of the case? 47 It had a lot of interest for me. No real dead spots, you know what I mean? 48 We were lucky to get a murder case. 49 I figured us for an assault or burglary. They can be the dullest. 50 - Hey, is that the Woolworth Building? - That's right. 51 I've lived here all my life, and I've never been inside that. 52 You had to sort out that junk, like the thing with the movies. 53 Yeah. What about that business with the knife? 54 Asking grown-up people to believe that jazz. 55 - I expected that. Look what we've got. - Yeah, I guess so. 56 Well, your horn works, now try your lights. What've you got, a cold? 57 These hot-weather colds can kill you. I can hardly touch my nose, you know?58 I sure do. I just got over one. 59 - Come on, Mr. Foreman, let's go here. - The guy's still in the bathroom. 60 What's new? I didn't get a chance to see a paper.61 - I was wondering how the market closed. - You got a seat on the exchange? 62 I'm a broker. 63 I run a messenger service. The Beck and Call Company. 64 The name is my wife's idea. I got 37 men working, started with nothing. 65 Okay, men. Let's take our seats. 66 Yeah. We can all get out pretty quick. I have tickets totonight's ball game. 67 Yanks and Cleveland. 68 Yeah, we got this kid, Modjelewski, in there. He's a real bull, this kid. 69 A real jug handle. You know?70 You're a real baseball fan, aren't you? 71 Where do we sit? 72 I thought we'd sit in order. By jury numbers. 73 One, two, three and so on around the table, if that's okay. 74 - What's the difference? - It's reasonable. 75 - Let it be. - Twelve is to your right? 76 - Well, we go around clockwise. - Start with you, one, two... 77 What was your impression of the prosecuting attorney? 78 I beg pardon? 79 I thought he was sharp, the way he hammered all those points one by one... 80 ...in a logical sequence. I was very impressed. 81 - I think he did an expert job. - A lot of drive too, real drive. 82 - Fellows. Can we hold it down? - Sure. 83 Say, we'd like to get started. Gentleman at the window. 84 - We'd like to get started. - I'm sorry. 85 Pretty tough to figure, isn't it, kid kills his father?86 Listen, you see that all the time. 87 They let those kids run wild. Well, maybe it serves him right, you know? 88 - Is everyone here? - The old man is inside. 89 - Would you knock on the door for him? - Yeah. 90 - You a Yankee fan? - No. Baltimore. 91 Baltimore? 92 That's like being hit in the head with a crowbar once a day. 93 What've they got? Who they got besides good groundskeepers? 94 We'd like to get started. 95 Forgive me. I didn't mean to keep you waiting. 96 Baltimore! 97 Okay, gentlemen. If I can have your attention. 98 You fellows can handle this any way you want. I'm not going to make any rules. 99 We can discuss it first and then vote on it. Of course, that's one way. 100 And, well, we can vote on it right now. 101 I think a preliminary vote is customary. 102 Yeah, let's vote. Who knows, maybe we can all get out of here. 103 Okay, then. Of course you know that we have a first-degree murder charge... 104 ...and if we vote the accused guilty, we've got to send him to the chair. 105 - That's mandatory. - We know that. 106 - Yeah. Let's see who's where. - Anyone doesn't want to vote? 107 It's all right with me. 108 Remember that this has to be 12 to nothing, either way. That's the law. 109 Okay, are we ready? Now, all those voting guilty, please raise your hands. 110 One, two, three, four, five, six, seven... 111 ...eight, nine, ten, eleven. Okay, that's eleven guilty. 112 Who's voting not guilty? 113 One. Right. Eleven, guilty. One, not guilty. 114 - Well, now we know where we are. - Boy, oh, boy, there's always one. 115 So, what do we do now? 116 - I guess we talk. - Boy, oh, boy. 117 You really think he's innocent? 118 - I don't know. - You sat in court with the rest of us. 119 You could see the kid's a dangerous killer. 120 - He's 18 years old. - Well, that's old enough. 121 He stabbed his own father in the chest. 122 They proved it a dozen ways in court. Would you like me to list them? 123 No. 124 - Then what do you want? - I just want to talk. 125 Talk about what? Eleven say, "guilty. " Nobody has to think about it but you. 126 I want to ask you. Do you believe his story? 127 - I don't know if I do. Maybe I don't. - So how come you vote not guilty? 128 With 11 votes for guilty, it's not easy to raise my hand... 129 ...and send a boy to die without talking about it. 130 - Well, now, who says it's easy? - No one. 131 What, just because I voted fast? I honestly think the guy's guilty. 132 Talking for 100 years couldn't change my mind. 133 I'm not trying to. It's just that we're talkingabout somebody's life. 134 Supposing we're wrong! 135 Supposing this building should fall. You could suppose anything. 136 That's right. 137 What's the difference how long? Suppose we do it in 5 minutes? 138 Let's take an hour. The ball game doesn't start until 8:00. 139 - Who's got something to say? - I'll sit for an hour. 140 - Great. I heard a pretty good story- - That's not why we're sitting here. 141 All right, then you tell me. What are we sitting here for? 142 I don't know, maybe no reason. This kid's been kicked around all his life. 143 You know, born in a slum, mother dead since he was 9. 144 A year and a half in an orphanage when his father was in jail for forgery. 145 That's not a very happy beginning. He's a wild, angry kid. And you know why? 146 Because he's been hit on the head by somebody every day. 147 He's had a pretty miserable 18 years. I think we owe him a few words. 148 We don't owe him a thing. He got a fair trial, didn't he? 149 What do you think that trial cost? He's lucky he got it, you know? 150 Look, we're all grownups in here. We heard the facts, didn't we? 151 We're not supposed to believe this kid, knowing what he is. 152 I've lived among them. You can't believe what they say. You know that. 153 - They're born liars. - Only an ignorant man can believe that. 154 - Listen. - Were you born... 155 ...with a monopoly on the truth? Certain things must be pointed out to him. 156 - We don't need a sermon. - We have a job to do, let's do it. 157 Rice Pops. It's a product I work on at the agency. 158 "The breakfast with the built-in bounce. " I wrote that. 159 - Very catchy. - Yeah. 160 - Do you mind? - I'm sorry. 161 Doodling keeps me thinking clearly. 162 We have work. There's no point staying forever. 163 Okay. Now, perhaps if the gentleman down there who's disagreeing with us... 164 ...perhaps you could say why. We might show you where you're mixed-up. 165 Maybe this is an idea. I haven't given it much thought. 166 It seems it's up to us to convince him that he's wrong and we're right. 167 Maybe if we each took a couple of minutes just to- It was just an idea. 168 No, no, no. That's a good one. Suppose we go once around the table. 169 I guess you're first. 170 It's hard to put into words. I just think he's guilty. 171 I thought it was obvious from the word go. Nobody proved otherwise. 172 Nobody has to. The burden of proof is on the prosecution. 173 The defendant doesn't have to speak. That's in the Constitution. 174 Sure, I know that. What I meant was- 175 Well, I just think he's guilty. Somebody saw him do it. 176 Okay. Here's what I think, and I have no personal feelings about this... 177 (I)just want to talk about facts. 178 Number one: 179 The old man lived under the room where the killing took place. 180 At 12:10, on the night of the killing, he heard loud noises, like a fight. 181 And he heard the kid yell, "I'm gonna kill you. " 182 A second later, a body hit the floor. 183 Ran to the door and saw the kid run down the stairs and leave. 184 Called the police. They found the man with a knife in his chest. 185 The coroner fixed the time of death around midnight. 186 These are facts. You can't refute facts. The kid is guilty. 187 I'm as sentimental as the next fellow. I know he's only 18. 188 - He's still got to pay for it. - I'm with you. 189 Okay, you finished? 190 - Yeah. - Next. 191 It is obvious that the boy's entire story was flimsy. 192 He claimed he was at the movies... 193 ...yet he couldn't remember the film's names or actors. 194 - That's right. -No one saw him going in or out. 195 What about the testimony of the woman across the street? 196 - She was the one who saw the killing. - Now, fellows. Let's go in order. 197 Just a minute. Here's a woman who's lying in bed. She can't sleep. 198 She's dying with the heat, you know? 199 She looks out the window and sees the kid stick the knife into his father. 200 The time is 12:10. Everything fits. She's known the kid all his life. 201 His window is across the El tracks. She saw him do it. 202 Through the windows of a passing El train. 203 This El train had no passengers. It was being moved downtown. 204 The lights were out. 205 They proved that you can look through the windows... 206 ...when the lights are out and see the other side. 207 I'd like to ask you something. 208 You don't believe the boy's story, why the woman's? She's one of "them" too. 209 - You're a smart fellow, aren't you? - Gentlemen, gentlemen. 210 - Come on. Sit down, sit down. - What's he so wise about? 211 Come on, we're not going to get anywhere fighting. Whose turn is it? 212 His, number five. 213 Can I pass? 214 Well, that's your privilege. How about the next gentleman? 215 Well, I don't know. I started to be convinced very early in the case. 216 You see, I was looking for a motive. 217 It's important because if you don't have a motive, where's your case? 218 That testimony from the people across the hall from the kid's apartment... 219 ...that was very powerful. 220 Didn't they say something about a fight, an argument... 221 ...between the old man and his son, around 7:00? I could be wrong, but I- 222 - It was 8:00. - That's right. 223 They heard an argument, couldn't hear about what. 224 They heard the father hit the boy twice. 225 They saw the boy run angry out of the house. What's that prove? 226 It don't prove anything. It's part of the picture. 227 You said it provided a motive. I don't think it was a very strong motive. 228 This boy has been hit so many times that violence is normal to him. 229 I can't see two slaps in the face provoking him into committing murder. 230 It may have been two too many. Everyone has a breaking point. 231 Anything else? 232 - No. - Okay. How about you? 233 I don't know. It's all been said. 234 You can talk here forever. It's still the same thing. 235 This kid is 5 for 0. 236 Well, look at his record. 237 At 10, he was in children's court. He threw a rock at a teacher. 238 When he was 15, he was in reform school. He stole a car. 239 He's been arrested for mugging. 240 He was picked up twice for knife fighting. He's real handy with a knife. 241 This is a very fine boy. 242 Since he was 5, his father beat him up regularly with his fists. 243 So would I. A kid like that... 244 It's these kids, the way they are nowadays. 245 When I was a kid, I used to call my father "sir. " That's right. Sir. 246 - You hear a kid call his father that? - Fathers don't think it's important. 247 - You got any kids? - Three. 248 I got one. 249 He's 22 years old. 250 When he was 9 years old, he ran away from a fight. 251 I saw it. I was so embarrassed I almost threw up. 252 I said, "I'll make a man out of you if I have to break you in two trying. " 253 Well, I made a man out of him. When he was 16, we had a fight. 254 He hit me in the jaw. He was a big kid. 255 I haven't seen him for two years. 256 Kids. 257 Work your heart out... 258 - Well, let's get going. - I think we're missing the point. 259 He's from a broken home in a filthy neighborhood. We can't help that. 260 Wedecide if he's innocent or guilty, not to go into how he grew up. 261 He was born in a slum, breeding grounds for criminals. We all know it. 262 It's no secret. Children from slums are potential menaces to society. 263 - Now, I- - You can say that again. 264 The kids from those places are trash. I don't want any part of them. 265 Listen, I've lived in a slum all my life. 266 - Wait a minute. - Please! 267 I played in back yards filled with garbage. 268 - Maybe you can smell it on me. - Listen. 269 - There's nothing personal. - It was personal. 270 He didn't mean you. Let's not be so sensitive. 271 - This sensitivity I can understand. - Okay, let's stop the arguing. 272 We're only wasting time. It's your turn down there. Let's go. 273 I thought you were all trying to convince me. Wasn't that the idea? 274 - That was the idea. - I forgot. 275 He's the one who's keeping us here. Let's hear him. 276 We decided to do this a certain way. We ought to stick to it. 277 - Stop being a kid. - What do you mean, "a kid"? 278 What do you think I mean? K- I-D, kid. 279 Just because I'm trying to keep organized? 280 You take it. Take the responsibility. I'll keep my mouth shut. 281 Why are you getting hot? Calm down. 282 Don't tell me to calm down. Just take the chair. 283 Did you ever see such a thing? 284 - You think it's funny? - Forget it. It's unimportant. 285 - Unimportant? You try it. - No, nobody wants to change. 286 - You're doing a beautiful job. Sit down - Yeah, you're doing great. 287 Just stay in there and pitch. 288 All right, let's hear from somebody. 289 If you want me to say how I feel about it, it's all right with me. 290 Boy, I don't care what you do. 291 All right, I don't have anything brilliant. I know as much as you do. 292 According to testimony, the boy looks guilty. Maybe he is. 293 I sat there in court for six days listening while the evidence built up. 294 Everybody sounded so positive. I got a peculiar feeling about this trial. 295 Nothing is that positive. There are questions I'd have liked to ask. 296 Maybe they'd have meant nothing. 297 But I felt that the defense wasn't doing a thorough cross-examination. 298 - He let things go by, little things. - What little things? 299 When fellows don't ask questions, it's because they know the answers. 300 It's also possible for a lawyer to be stupid, isn't it? 301 - I mean, it's possible. - Sounds like you met my brother-in-law. 302 I kept putting myself in the kid's place. 303 I'd have asked for another lawyer. I mean, if I was on trial for my life... 304 ...I'd want my lawyer to tear their witnesses to shreds, or try to. 305 Look, there was one alleged eyewitness to this killing. 306 Someone else heard the killing, saw the boy run afterwards... 307 ...and there was circumstantial evidence. 308 Those two witnesses were the entire case. Supposing they're wrong? 309 What do you mean? What's the point of having witnesses? 310 Could they be wrong? 311 Those people sat on the stand under oath. 312 They're people. People make mistakes. Could they be wrong? 313 - Well, no.I don't think so. - Do you know so? 314 Nobody can know that. This isn't an exact science. 315 That's right, it isn't. 316 Let's get to the point. What about the switch knife in the old man's chest? 317 Wait. Some people haven't talked. 318 - Shouldn't we go in order? - They'll get a chance. Be quiet. 319 What about this knife the boy admitted buying that night? Let's talk about it. 320 All right, let's talk about it. Let's look at it. 321 - Mr. Foreman. - We saw what it looks like.322 - Why do we have to see it again? - He has a right to see evidence. 323 - Could you bring us the knife? - All right. 324 The knife is strong evidence, don't you think? 325 - I do. - Good. 326 Suppose we take the facts one at a time. 327 One: The boy left the house at 8:00 after being slapped by his father. 328 No, he didn't say, "slapped. " He said, "punched. " There's a difference. 329 After being hit several times by his father. 330 Two: He went to a neighborhood junk shop and bought a... 331 - Switch knife. - Switchblade knife. 332 This wasn't an ordinary knife. It had an unusual carved handle and blade. 333 The storekeeper said it was the only one of its kind he'd ever had. 334 Three: He met some friends in front of a tavern about 8:45. Am I right? 335 - Yes, you are. - You bet he is. 336 He talked with his friends, leaving them at 9:45. 337 During this time, they saw the switch knife. 338 Four: They identified the death weapon in court as that very same knife. 339 Five: He arrived home at about 10:00. 340 This is where the stories by the state and the boy begin to diverge. 341 He claims he went to a movie at 11:30... 342 ...returning at 3:10 to find his father dead and himself arrested. 343 He also claims the two detectives threw him down a flight of stairs. 344 What happened to the knife? He claims it fell through a hole in his pocket... 345 ...sometime between 11:30 and 3:10 and that he never saw it again. 346 Now there's a tale. I think it's clear that the boy never went to the movies. 347 No one saw him go out at 11:30. No one in the theater saw him. 348 He couldn't remember the names of the pictures. 349 What happened is this. The boy stayed home. 350 Had a fight with his father, stabbed him and left the house at 12:10. 351 He even wiped the knife clean of fingerprints. 352 Are you saying that this knife fell through a hole in the boy's pocket? 353 Someone picked it up, went to the house and stabbed his father... 354 ...to test its sharpness? 355 It's possible he lost it and his father was stabbed with a similar knife. 356 Take a look at this knife. 357 It's a very unusual knife. 358 I've never seen one like it. Neither had the storekeeper who sold it. 359 Isn't that a pretty incredible coincidence? 360 - I'm saying a coincidence is possible. - I say it's not. 361 - Where did that come from? - It's the same knife. 362 - What do you think you're doing? - Where did you get it? 363 I went out walking last night through the boy's neighborhood. 364 I bought it at a pawnshop two blocks from the boy's house. It cost $6. 365 It's against the law to buy a switchblade. 366 - I broke the law. - You pulled a real bright trick. 367 Tell me what it proves. Maybe there are 10 knives like that. So what? 368 - Maybe there are. - What does it mean? 369 You found a knife like it. Is that some big discovery? 370 We're to believe somebody else did it with a similar knife? 371 - The odds are a million-to-1. - It's possible. 372 But not very probable. 373 Okay. Let's take our seats. There's no point in standing around all over (374)It's interesting that he'd find a knife like the boy's. 375 - What's interesting about it? - I don't know. I just thought it was. 376 There's 11 of us who think he's guilty. 377 What will you accomplish? You won't change our minds. 378 Be stubborn and hang this jury. He'll be tried again and found guilty. 379 - You're probably right. - So, what are you gonna do? 380 - We could be here all night. - It's only one night. A boy may die. 381 Why don't we just set up house here? 382 Someone send thepoliceman for a pinochle deck, and we'll sweat it out. 383 - He shouldn't joke about it. - What do you want me to do? 384 What's the knife got to do with it? Somebody saw the kid stab his father. 385 What more do we need? You guys can talk the ears off my head. 386 I got three garages going to pot. Let's get done and get out of here. 387 The knife was important to the district attorney. He spent- 388 - He's a 15th assistant. What's he know? - These arguments are slowing us up. 389 Well, what about it? You're the only one. 390 I have a proposition to make to you. I'm going to call for another vote. 391 I want you 11 men to vote by secret written ballot. 392 I'll abstain. If there are 11 votes for guilty, I won't stand alone. 393 We'll take in a guilty verdict to the judge right now. 394 But if anyone votes not guilty, we'll stay here and talk it out. 395 - If you want to try it, I'm ready. - Let's do it the hard way. 396 That sounds fair. Everyone agreed? Anyone doesn't agree? 397 - Here, pass these along. - Is that the right time? 398 "Guilty. " 399 "Guilty. " 400 "Guilty. " 401 "Guilty. " 402 "Guilty. " 403 "Guilty. " 404 "Guilty. " 405 "Guilty. " 406 "Guilty. " 407 "Not guilty. " 408 "Guilty. " 409 - Boy, how do you like that? - And another chap flips his wings. 410 All right, who was it? I want to know. 411 Excuse me. It was a secret ballot. We all agreed on that. 412 - If the gentleman wants it secret- - What do you mean, "secret"? 413 There are no secrets in a jury room. I know who it was. 414 You really are something. 415 You sit here, vote guilty, and some preacher tears your poor heart out... 416 ...about a kid who couldn't help being a murderer, and you change your vote. 417 If that isn't the most- 418 Why don't you drop a quarter in his collection box? 419 Now, just wait a minute. You can't talk to me like that. 420 - Who do you think you are? - Calm down. 421 He's very excitable. Sit down. 422 You bet I am! We're trying to put a man in the chair where he belongs. 423 He tells us fairy tales, and we listen. 424 Hey. Come on, huh? 425 - What made you change your vote? - He didn't change his vote. I did. 426 - Fine. - I knew it. 427 - Would you like me to tell you why? - No, I wouldn't. 428 - I'd like to make it clear anyway. - Do we have to listen to this? 429 - The man wants to talk. - Thank you. 430 This gentleman has been standing alone against us. 431 Now he doesn't say the boy's not guilty. He just isn't sure. 432 It's not easy to stand alone against ridicule. 433 So he gambled for support, and I gave it to him. I respect his motives. 434 The boy on trial is probably guilty. 435 But I want to hear more. Right now the vote is 10 to 2. 436 - You have no right to leave- - He can't hear you. 437 He never will. Let's sit down. 438 Shall we continue? 439 I think we ought to take a break. 440 You know, one man's inside, and I think we ought to wait for him. Okay. 441 Looks like we're really hung up here. 442 That thing with the old man, that was unexpected. 443 I wish I could figure out some way we could break it up. 444 You know, in advertising- I told you I worked in an agency? 445 There are some strange people working there. 446 They're not strange, I guess. They just have peculiar ways of expressing themselves. 447 I suppose it's the same in your business too? 448 - What do you do? - I'm a watchmaker. 449 Really? I imagine the finest watchmakers come from Europe, huh? 450 In an agency when we reach a point like this- 451 In an ad agency, when apoint like this is reached... 452 ...always some character ready with an idea, see? And it kills me... 453 It's the weirdest thing, the way they precede their idea with a phrase. 454 Some account exec will get up and he'll say, "Okay, here's an idea. 455 Let's run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes it. " 456 It's idiotic, but it's funny. 457 Hey... 458 ...I got a little excited back there. 459 I didn't mean to get nasty. 460 Glad you're not one of those that lets these emotional appeals influence him. 461 I don't know what's the matter with that fan. 462 - Hey, you a salesman? - I'm an architect. 463 You know what the "soft sell" is? 464 Well, you got it, believe me. 465 I got a different technique. 466 Laughs, drinks, jokes, tricks, you know? 467 Yeah. 468 Hit 'em where they live, that's my motto. 469 I made 27 grand last year selling marmalade. That's not bad. 470 I mean, you know, considering marmalade. 471 What are you getting out of this? Kicks? 472 Did somebody bump your head, and you haven't gotten over it? 473 - Maybe. - You do-gooders are all alike. 474 You're always blowing your stacks over some guy that fanned. 475 Well, what are you wasting our time for? 476 Donate 5 dollars to the cause, and maybe it'll make you feel better. 477 This kid is guilty, pal. It's as plain as the nose on your face. 478 So why don't we stop wasting our time? 479 We're gonna all get sore throats. 480 What difference is it if you get it here or at the ball game? 481 No difference, pal. No difference at all. 482 - Nice bunch of guys, huh? - They're about the same as anyone else. 483 Boy, what a murderous day. You think it'll be much longer? 484 I don't know. 485 He's guilty for sure. Not a doubt in the whole world. 486 We should've been done already. 487 I don't mind, you know. Beats working. 488 - You think he's not guilty, huh? - I don't know. It's possible. 489 I don't know you, but I'm betting you've never been wronger. 490 You're wasting your time. 491 Supposing you were the one that was on trial? 492 Well, I'm not used to supposing. 493 I'm just a working man. My boss does the supposing... 494 ...but I'll try one. 495 Supposing you talk us all out of this... 496 ...and the kid really did knife his father, huh? 497 Ready? 498 Sorry, blue eyes. 499 - One of those. - Okay, let's take our seats. 500 Looks like we'll be here for dinner. 501 Okay, let's get down to business. Who wants to start? 502 - I will. - Okay, go. 503 You. The old man who lived downstairs says he heard the kid yell: 504 "I'm gonna kill you. " A second later he heard the body fall. 505 He ran to the door, and he saw the kid running out. 506 What does that mean to you? 507 How clearly could he have heard through the ceiling? 508 He didn't hear it through the ceiling. The window was open. 509 - It's not that easy to identify a voice. - He identified it in court. 510 Don't forget the lady across the street. She saw the boy stab his father. 511 - Isn't that enough for you? - No, it isn't. 512 It's like talking into a dead phone. 513 She saw the killing through the windows of a train. 514 There are six cars. She saw the killing through the last two. 515 She remembered insignificant details. How can you argue? 516 Has anybody here any idea how long it would take an El-? 517 This isn't a game. 518 Did you see him? The nerve! 519 - Listen- - The absolute nerve. 520 - All right, forget it. - This isn't a game? 521 - Calm down. - Who does he think he is?。
