A scene from “Unfinished Business”

Al Sidell: [after Jessica accuses him of committing the murder] You gotta believe me, the both of you. Killing that woman was the furthest thing from my mind. I was in my motel room around 10:30 when Loretta phoned. She asked me if Freddie Masters was in my room. She said he wasn't at the inn, and she knew that he was my client, and I said I didn't know any Freddie Masters. And she said she wanted me to corroborate some evidence that she had that proved that Charley Holcombe and Freddie Masters were the same person, and Freddie Masters was a known bail jumper. I said I would come right over and prove just how wrong she was. But when I got there, she said she had a friend who was no longer an active player, who had played in rookie league with Charley, and he swore that Charley and Freddie were the same person. She was some piece of work, that woman. Well, she said that her going public with it, it wouldn't hurt my career or Charley's career. She thought it would just help her career. She thought she might go to the networks, or even go to the commissioner. She went to the phone, and I guess I went nuts. I don't know. And I picked up my glasses, and I tried to make it look like a robbery. And I drove back to the motel. I was blind as a bat without the glasses. Funny thing is, I almost made it. This is the first time I've ever been in trouble. I never even had a parking ticket. That was the first time I ever had any trouble with the police.
