The case against Bobbie Arnstein

There's no question
in my mind

00:20:34,755 --> 00:20:36,539
that Bobbie did not
carry the cocaine,

00:20:36,539 --> 00:20:38,498

00:20:38,498 --> 00:20:40,282
The boyfriend did.

00:20:40,282 --> 00:20:42,328
It was his deal.

For a long time
it was just, you know,
338
00:20:52,903 --> 00:20:54,470

00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:56,559
on this fellow
that she'd been dating.
340
00:20:56,559 --> 00:21:02,478
And, when the focused changed,
when it became clear that
341
00:21:02,478 --> 00:21:09,224
the real target was some crazy
attempt to involve me,
342
00:21:09,224 --> 00:21:13,228

Kafka-like implications.

So, I was able to get a hold
of the original indictment.

not on it.

I'll write myself.

00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,210
-We'll get it done.
-That's out of the question.
353
00:21:39,210 --> 00:21:40,777
-Is it against the law?
-No.
354
00:21:40,777 --> 00:21:42,344
-Will it jeopardize our case?
-No.
355
00:21:42,344 --> 00:21:44,477
-Then we're running it!
-It's Bobbie's case.
356
00:21:44,477 --> 00:21:47,697
It's Bobbie who's on trial here,
not you and not Playboy.
357
00:21:47,697 --> 00:21:49,395
So you're just going to
let her hang out to dry?
358
00:21:49,395 --> 00:21:51,571
No, of course not.
359
00:21:51,571 --> 00:21:54,008
But what we're dealing with here
has very serious implications,
360
00:21:54,008 --> 00:21:56,271
not just for you and for
Bobbie, but for the company.
361

The company will be fine.

00:21:58,229 --> 00:21:59,405
We already have
two board members
363
00:21:59,405 --> 00:22:00,971

of this.
364

backing out.

Our stock price is down,
big time.
366
00:22:05,889 --> 00:22:08,631
All we gotta focus on is doing
some serious damage control.
367
00:22:12,113 --> 00:22:14,028
You need to separate
yourself from Bobbie.
368

Bobbie was my best friend.
371
00:22:41,011 --> 00:22:43,144
But on the advice
of my lawyers,
372
00:22:43,144 --> 00:22:46,277
I was told not to speak
publicly about her case.
373
00:22:48,410 --> 00:22:50,281
And even worse,
374
00:22:50,281 --> 00:22:53,459
I had to ask her to move out
of the Chicago mansion.
375
00:22:55,722 --> 00:22:58,464
It killed me to know there was
nothing I could do to help her.
376
00:22:58,464 --> 00:23:01,380
It became very unreal.
377
00:23:01,380 --> 00:23:06,036
I knew that the DEA had become
a very corrupt organization
378
00:23:06,036 --> 00:23:08,952

was politically inspired.

They conspired to distribute
a narcotic drug,

specifically cocaine,
394
00:23:55,172 --> 00:23:57,958

I don't think
any of us felt

that they would
stoop this low,
399
00:24:08,142 --> 00:24:11,972
to threaten this young woman
with incarceration
400

if she did not come forward
and lie about her boss.
401
00:24:17,107 --> 00:24:20,894
They would go just so far
and then back off.
402
00:24:20,894 --> 00:24:23,723
But they didn't do that.
403
00:24:23,723 --> 00:24:27,814
[Hugh Hefner]
The prosecution was asking
for the maximum sentence:
404
00:24:27,814 --> 00:24:30,251
15 years in prison.
405
00:24:30,251 --> 00:24:33,907
I'm here to represent
my client, Bobbie Arnstein.
406
00:24:33,907 --> 00:24:37,737
She traveled from Chicago
down to Florida with Mr. Scharf,
407
00:24:37,737 --> 00:24:40,522
but we believe the evidence
will show that Miss Arnstein
408
00:24:40,522 --> 00:24:42,306
had no knowledge
or participation
409
00:24:42,306 --> 00:24:45,353

while she was down in Florida
410
00:24:45,353 --> 00:24:47,573
and that she should
be found not guilty.

The prosecution had gone so far
as to tap Ron Scharf's phone
412

and presented transcripts
of his conversations

414
00:24:59,193 --> 00:25:01,978
but none of the evidence
made it clear that Bobbie
415
00:25:01,978 --> 00:25:05,242
was knowingly involved.

and he asked to buy
431

which I sold to him

on the coffee table.

I have here, no.

Is there any statement
made by you that Miss Arnstein
452
00:26:54,134 --> 00:26:55,744
put the cocaine in her bag?

these statements,

From a justice point of view,

there was no question

found innocent.

00:32:41,916 --> 00:32:44,919
for such fragile people.
525
00:32:44,919 --> 00:32:49,706
[Christie Hefner]
Bobbie's suicide was devastating
for everybody who knew her,
526
00:32:49,706 --> 00:32:51,752
perhaps as much
as anything because
527
00:32:51,752 --> 00:32:55,625
it was completely unnecessary
528
00:32:55,625 --> 00:32:58,106
and was really
caused by the government
529
00:32:58,106 --> 00:33:01,805
pressuring her to give them
Hugh Hefner as a drug dealer.
530
00:33:01,805 --> 00:33:04,504
Rather than do anything
to hurt my father,
531
00:33:04,504 --> 00:33:07,333
she didn't see any way out
but to take her own life
532
00:33:07,333 --> 00:33:12,164
when faced with the threat
of significant prison time.
533
00:33:12,164 --> 00:33:16,995
I think just the tragedy of
that, was just heartbreaking.
534
00:33:19,954 --> 00:33:22,565
[reporter]
The funeral service,
from which cameras were barred,
535
00:33:22,565 --> 00:33:24,437
took nine minutes,
536
00:33:24,437 --> 00:33:26,526
the relatives
and old family friends
537
00:33:26,526 --> 00:33:29,572
pulling up to the funeral home
on Devon in five limousines,
538
00:33:29,572 --> 00:33:32,053
with a grim-looking
Hugh Hefner in the center.
539
00:33:32,053 --> 00:33:34,273
Bobbie Arnstein
had been swallowed up
540
00:33:34,273 --> 00:33:36,057
by all this in her life.
541
00:33:36,057 --> 00:33:38,103
It was happening
once again in her death.
542
00:33:40,061 --> 00:33:43,108
[Hugh Hefner]
When Bobbie was laid to rest,
543
00:33:43,108 --> 00:33:47,547
her mother gave me the honor
of serving as a pallbearer.
544
00:33:47,547 --> 00:33:50,071
[reporter]
The seven pallbearers,
including Hefner,
545
00:33:50,071 --> 00:33:52,291
carried the steel coffin
from the funeral home
546
00:33:52,291 --> 00:33:54,075
and put it into a hearse.
547
00:33:54,075 --> 00:33:56,425
They all said goodbye
to Bobbie Arnstein today,
548
00:33:56,425 --> 00:33:58,601
all the worlds
in which she had lived.
549
00:34:06,957 --> 00:34:09,395
[Hugh Hefner]
Throughout the entire
investigation,
550
00:34:09,395 --> 00:34:13,007
I followed my counsel's
advice and never said a word.
551
00:34:13,007 --> 00:34:17,577
Now I regretted that silence.
552
00:34:17,577 --> 00:34:19,361
Every time
I've allowed somebody
553
00:34:19,361 --> 00:34:20,841
to make me not
talk to the press,
554
00:34:20,841 --> 00:34:22,669
I've paid heavily for it.
555
00:34:22,669 --> 00:34:25,324
In this case, we all
paid heavily for it,
556
00:34:25,324 --> 00:34:28,762
and Bobbie paid for it
with her life.
557
00:34:28,762 --> 00:34:34,724
After she died, I said,
"I can't keep quiet anymore.
558
00:34:34,724 --> 00:34:36,422
I'm gonna make
a press statement."
559
00:34:42,254 --> 00:34:48,086
If I look a little harried,
I'm-- I'm quite upset.
560
00:34:48,086 --> 00:34:51,437
Okay.
561
00:34:51,437 --> 00:34:54,179
In the infamous witchcraft
trials of the middle ages,
562
00:34:54,179 --> 00:34:56,006
the inquisitors
tortured the victims
563
00:34:56,006 --> 00:34:58,748
until they not only
confessed to being witches,
564
00:34:58,748 --> 00:35:03,623
but accused their own families
and friends of sorcery as well.
565
00:35:03,623 --> 00:35:06,234
In similar fashion,
narcotics agents
566
00:35:06,234 --> 00:35:10,020
frequently use
our severe drug laws
567
00:35:10,020 --> 00:35:11,892
in an arbitrary
and capricious manner
568
00:35:11,892 --> 00:35:14,982
to elicit the desired
testimony for a trial.
569
00:35:14,982 --> 00:35:18,681
The pressure of a lengthy appeal
and increasing harassment
570
00:35:18,681 --> 00:35:21,119
from government prosecutors
and their agents...
571
00:35:24,165 --> 00:35:27,386
... an already
emotionally troubled woman...
572
00:35:27,386 --> 00:35:30,171
was pushed beyond endurance,
573
00:35:30,171 --> 00:35:31,781
and she killed herself.
574
00:35:36,221 --> 00:35:41,443
I was at the press conference
in the Chicago mansion.
575
00:35:41,443 --> 00:35:43,228
It was all true emotion.
576
00:35:47,101 --> 00:35:51,845
Hefner had been harmed beyond
belief, from his point of view.
577
00:35:54,326 --> 00:35:56,415
Nothing the government
could have done
578
00:35:56,415 --> 00:35:58,417
could have
hurt him more.
579
00:35:58,417 --> 00:36:02,943
She was one of the best,
brightest...
580
00:36:02,943 --> 00:36:06,033
most worthwhile women...
581
00:36:06,033 --> 00:36:07,382
[choking back tears]
I have ever known.
582
00:36:11,473 --> 00:36:13,171
She will be missed.
583
00:36:23,006 --> 00:36:26,358
[Hugh Hefner]
Bobbie had been with me
for nearly 14 years.
584
00:36:28,316 --> 00:36:30,188
She'd kept things running,
585
00:36:30,188 --> 00:36:32,886
whether it was
my personal life,
586
00:36:32,886 --> 00:36:35,889
my business life,
587
00:36:35,889 --> 00:36:37,543
or even the mansion itself.
588
00:36:39,849 --> 00:36:41,416
She was one of the few people
589
00:36:41,416 --> 00:36:45,681
strong enough
to keep me in check.
590
00:36:45,681 --> 00:36:48,684
[Barbi Benton]
It was such a great
loss for Hef.
591
00:36:48,684 --> 00:36:52,688
He was devastated.
592
00:36:52,688 --> 00:36:57,345
It was the saddest
I'd ever seen him.
593
00:37:00,740 --> 00:37:03,133
[Hugh Hefner]
What I think about
over and over again
594
00:37:03,133 --> 00:37:05,614
is all the years
and the good times
595
00:37:05,614 --> 00:37:08,051
and things
that she missed,
596
00:37:08,051 --> 00:37:11,577
and... the good times
597
00:37:11,577 --> 00:37:15,015
that would have
been better for us
598
00:37:15,015 --> 00:37:17,452
if she'd been here.
599
00:37:19,933 --> 00:37:26,766
[Hugh Hefner]
With Bobbie gone, things
would never be the same.
600
00:37:26,766 --> 00:37:29,725
And everywhere I looked,
I only saw memories of her.
601
00:37:32,772 --> 00:37:36,341
So I decided the time
had come to say goodbye,
602
00:37:36,341 --> 00:37:39,126
not only to Bobbie,
603
00:37:39,126 --> 00:37:42,129
but to my entire life
in Chicago.
604
00:37:47,482 --> 00:37:49,267
