Leland McKenzie : And he went down to the police station to make what he thought was a routine statement. They arrested him for murder.
Stuart Markowitz : And he didn't tell you any more than that?
Leland McKenzie : No, not on the phone.
Jonathan Rollins : This is unbelievable.
Patrick Flanagan : Has a bail hearing been set?
Leland McKenzie : The DA's office is playing games. I'm going there this morning to see Holzman.
Jane Halliday : You mean he might have to spend the night in jail?
Leland McKenzie : It is a distinct possibility.
Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Once it's set, Ann, can you handle the bail hearing?
Ann Kelsey : Sure, the only problem is they won't be able to talk to Arnie till this afternoon. I'm in court all morning.
Jane Halliday : I'll - I'll go talk to him.
Leland McKenzie : Jonathan, you should talk to the police. Find out the names of all the officers involved, get as much as you can.
Jonathan Rollins : Right.
Stuart Markowitz : We may also need the services of a private investigator.
Eli Levinson : I'll call Jinx.
Douglas Brackman, Jr. : All of Arnold's active clients need to be contacted, reassured, and, signed to other members of the firm until Arnold is available again.
Leland McKenzie : You and I should make those calls, Douglas.
Douglas Brackman, Jr. : And under no circumstances should anyone talk to the press. We'll issue a short statement emphasizing our support and belief in Arnold's innocence.
Patrick Flanagan : I can do that. I have some contact with the LA Times.
Stuart Markowitz : I'll talk to the office staff.
Douglas Brackman, Jr. : Good.
