1
00:00:05,467 --> 00:00:08,300
MRS. MADISON?
2
00:00:12,900 --> 00:00:15,432
IN THE SPRING OF 1934,
3
00:00:15,433 --> 00:00:17,466
I'D BEEN LIVING
AT THE STERLING ARMS APARTMENTS
4
00:00:17,467 --> 00:00:18,932
FOR A FEW MONTHS,
5
00:00:18,933 --> 00:00:21,432
AND I WAS USED TO SEEING
MRS. BRADLEY
6
00:00:21,433 --> 00:00:24,366
FUSS OVER HER BUILDING
AND US TENANTS PLENTY.
7
00:00:24,367 --> 00:00:25,666
MRS. MADISON.
8
00:00:25,667 --> 00:00:27,232
SO WHEN I GOT HOME
THAT AFTERNOON
9
00:00:27,233 --> 00:00:29,999
AND SAW HER KNOCKING
AT THE MADISONS' APARTMENT DOOR
10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,399
AFTER MRS. MADISON
HAD MISSED AN APPOINTMENT...
11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:37,332
UM, MS. SMITH, HAVE YOU SEEN
MRS. MADISON AT ALL TODAY?
12
00:00:37,333 --> 00:00:38,932
NO ONE'S SEEN A STITCH OF HER.
13
00:00:38,933 --> 00:00:42,466
NO, I'M SORRY.
I HAVEN'T SEEN HER.
14
00:00:42,467 --> 00:00:45,966
I THOUGHT, "SURE.
SHE WAS PROBABLY CONCERNED,
15
00:00:45,967 --> 00:00:48,632
BUT I BET SHE WAS ALSO
CURIOUS."
16
00:00:48,633 --> 00:00:50,532
WE DIDN'T KNOW
MUCH ABOUT THE COUPLE,
17
00:00:50,533 --> 00:00:51,866
BESIDES THAT ERIC MADISON
18
00:00:51,867 --> 00:00:54,132
HAD BEEN EMPLOYED
OVER AT THE MOVIE STUDIO.
19
00:00:54,133 --> 00:00:57,999
AND NELLIE WAS A WORKING WOMAN
TOO, WITH LOVELY MANNERS.
20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,199
IS ANYONE HOME?
21
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,499
AND I BET
THERE WAS LITTLE THRILL
22
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:05,899
IN TAKING A PEEK
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
23
00:01:05,900 --> 00:01:09,299
TO SEE
HOW THE MADISONS REALLY LIVED.
24
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:12,466
I MEAN, WHO HASN'T STOLEN
A LOOK INTO SOMEONE ELSE'S
25
00:01:12,467 --> 00:01:17,699
MEDICINE CABINET OR DESK DRAWER
WHEN YOU HAD A CHANCE TO.
26
00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:20,566
BUT WHAT SHE FOUND IN ROOM 123
27
00:01:20,567 --> 00:01:23,700
WASN'T THE DELICIOUS PEEK
INTO THEIR PRIVATE WORLD.
28
00:01:25,667 --> 00:01:27,532
MR. MADISON?
29
00:01:27,533 --> 00:01:32,899
BECAUSE THE MADISONS' SECRETS
WERE A NASTY SLIDE
30
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:34,567
INTO A NIGHTMARE.
31
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:53,799
BURBANK IN 1934 WAS,
IN MANY WAYS,
32
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,199
STILL A SMALL TOWN
AND A COMPANY TOWN AT THAT.
33
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,232
WARNER BROS STUDIOS
HAD SET UP SHOP RECENTLY,
34
00:02:01,233 --> 00:02:03,366
AND IT SEEMED LIKE THEY GAVE
WORK TO EVERYONE
35
00:02:03,367 --> 00:02:05,499
AND HIS BROTHER AROUND HERE.
36
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:09,332
AND LET ME TELL YA, WE KNEW
WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE JOBS.
37
00:02:09,333 --> 00:02:11,199
THIS WAS THE MIDDLE
OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION
38
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,766
AND THE COUNTRY WAS HURTING.
39
00:02:14,767 --> 00:02:17,867
SO THE PICTURES
WERE A WELCOMED DIVERSION.
40
00:02:20,633 --> 00:02:23,332
BUT EVEN THOUGH WHAT HAPPENED
AT THE STERLING ARMS APARTMENTS
41
00:02:23,333 --> 00:02:25,432
WAS JUST AS MYSTERIOUS
42
00:02:25,433 --> 00:02:28,399
AS ANY STORY I'D EVER SEEN UP
ON THE BIG SCREEN,
43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,832
IT WASN'T A FUN BIT OF FICTION.
44
00:02:30,833 --> 00:02:33,833
IT WAS REAL AND TERRIFYING.
45
00:02:47,067 --> 00:02:49,832
SUNDAY, MARCH 25,
THE BURBANK POLICE
46
00:02:49,833 --> 00:02:55,432
ENTERED ROOM 123
OF THE STERLING ARMS APARTMENTS,
47
00:02:55,433 --> 00:02:57,532
WHICH IS OCCUPIED
48
00:02:57,533 --> 00:03:00,666
BY ERIC MADISON AND HIS WIFE,
NELLIE.
49
00:03:00,667 --> 00:03:02,433
CALL IN THE LANDLADY.
50
00:03:09,533 --> 00:03:12,899
IS THAT MR. MADISON?
YES.
51
00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:14,132
THAT'S HIM.
52
00:03:14,133 --> 00:03:15,932
THANK YOU.
53
00:03:15,933 --> 00:03:18,499
YOU PROBABLY DON'T REMEMBER,
BUT WAY BACK THEN,
54
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:21,899
THERE WERE HARDLY ANY
PHOTO IDs, SO THE POLICE
55
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:23,766
COULDN'T JUST GRAB
THE DEAD MAN'S WALLET
56
00:03:23,767 --> 00:03:26,399
AND CHECK THE PICTURE
ON HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE.
57
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,666
THEY NEEDED THE HELP
OF SOMEONE WHO KNEW THE FELLA
58
00:03:28,667 --> 00:03:31,099
TO IDENTIFY THE BODY.
59
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:34,232
LOOKS LIKE THE POOR SAP TOOK IT
IN THE BACK SOMETIME LAST NIGHT
60
00:03:34,233 --> 00:03:38,099
WITH, IT LOOKS LIKE ABOUT
A .32, RIGHT?
61
00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:39,900
MUST HAVE BEEN DAMN LOUD, TOO.
62
00:03:48,667 --> 00:03:50,566
THEY DON'T FIND ANY
SIGNS OF A BREAK-IN.
63
00:03:50,567 --> 00:03:53,966
THERE DOESN'T SEEM
TO HAVE BEEN A ROBBERY.
64
00:03:53,967 --> 00:03:55,733
THEY FIND NO GUN,
65
00:03:59,567 --> 00:04:02,200
AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA
WHERE NELLIE IS.
66
00:04:05,367 --> 00:04:07,066
HOW LONG HAVE THE MADISONS
LIVED HERE?
67
00:04:07,067 --> 00:04:10,232
JUST OVER A MONTH OR TWO.
68
00:04:10,233 --> 00:04:12,266
I DON'T KNOW THEM VERY WELL.
69
00:04:12,267 --> 00:04:16,066
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU SAW MR. MADISON ALIVE?
70
00:04:16,067 --> 00:04:19,867
WELL,
HE CAME IN ON THE LATE SIDE.
71
00:04:23,133 --> 00:04:25,799
MRS. MADISON WAS ALREADY HERE.
72
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,632
SHE WAS TALKING
WITH OUR CARETAKER,
73
00:04:27,633 --> 00:04:31,066
MR. McGUIGAN, IN THE LOUNGE.
74
00:04:31,067 --> 00:04:33,399
EVENIN', MR. McGUIGAN.
75
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,866
AND AT ABOUT 10 O'CLOCK,
ERIC MADISON WALKS IN...
76
00:04:35,867 --> 00:04:37,299
GOOD EVENING.
77
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:40,066
AND SAYS
HELLO TO THE MAINTENANCE MAN.
78
00:04:40,067 --> 00:04:43,466
MR. MADISON WAS
LOOKING FOR WORK.
79
00:04:43,467 --> 00:04:46,166
JACK WARNER HAD JUST FIRED
HIM FROM THE RESTAURANT
80
00:04:46,167 --> 00:04:47,966
OVER AT THE LODGE.
81
00:04:47,967 --> 00:04:50,066
WARNER BROS STUDIOS JACK WARNER?
82
00:04:50,067 --> 00:04:53,732
MR. MADISON, HE GAVE WHAT-FOR
TO SOME FANCY DIRECTOR,
83
00:04:53,733 --> 00:04:55,500
I GUESS.
84
00:04:58,233 --> 00:05:00,966
WE'D ONLY KNOWN THE MADISONS
FOR A COUPLE MONTHS,
85
00:05:00,967 --> 00:05:02,332
BUT AT LEAST, AT THAT TIME,
86
00:05:02,333 --> 00:05:04,899
WE THOUGHT WE'D HAD
A GENERAL HANDLE ON THEM.
87
00:05:04,900 --> 00:05:08,532
ERIC MADISON HAD A BIG,
GLAD-HANDING PERSONALITY.
88
00:05:08,533 --> 00:05:10,699
HE WAS ALWAYS WORKING AN ANGLE.
89
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:15,199
AND THAT COULD RUB PEOPLE
THE WRONG WAY.
90
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,499
RESERVED, VERY POLITE.
91
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:21,499
RESERVED WAS A GOOD WORD
FOR NELLIE.
92
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:23,499
HAVE TO GET TO THE TRACK
SOMETIME SOON?
93
00:05:23,500 --> 00:05:26,799
SHE HAD A QUIET STILLNESS
TO HER MANNER,
94
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,899
LIKE SHE WAS KEEPING MOST
OF HER THOUGHTS TO HERSELF.
95
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:32,532
BUT THAT NEXT MORNING,
96
00:05:32,533 --> 00:05:35,966
I HAD TO WONDER
IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF TROUBLE,
97
00:05:35,967 --> 00:05:40,932
A SECRET SHE WAS
KEEPING CLOSE TO HER HEART TOO.
98
00:05:40,933 --> 00:05:44,367
SHE'S BEEN IN THE HOTEL
BUSINESS, HERSELF.
99
00:05:46,533 --> 00:05:48,899
NELLIE WAS A REAL CAREER WOMAN.
100
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:52,066
SHE HAD MANAGED A RESORT
OUT IN PALM SPRINGS,
101
00:05:52,067 --> 00:05:54,966
EARNED HER OWN MONEY
AND HAD EVEN, RECENTLY,
102
00:05:54,967 --> 00:05:58,132
INHERITED A LITTLE NEST EGG
WHEN HER MOTHER PASSED AWAY.
103
00:05:58,133 --> 00:05:59,366
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
104
00:05:59,367 --> 00:06:01,466
OKAY.
GOOD NIGHT.
105
00:06:01,467 --> 00:06:05,332
AND THEN ERIC
WALKS TOWARDS HIS ROOM,
106
00:06:05,333 --> 00:06:08,067
AND NELLIE MAY FOLLOWS.
107
00:06:12,067 --> 00:06:14,066
SO THAT WAS THE LAST TIME
YOU SAY EITHER OF THEM?
108
00:06:14,067 --> 00:06:16,232
NO. NO. NO,
I WAS GETTING TO THAT.
109
00:06:16,233 --> 00:06:21,066
I SAW MRS. MADISON AGAIN,
JUST AFTER THE GUN SHOTS.
110
00:06:21,067 --> 00:06:22,832
GUN SHOTS?
111
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,266
WHAT WAS THAT NOISE?
112
00:06:40,267 --> 00:06:42,966
IT SOUNDED LIKE IT CAME
FROM RIGHT HERE.
113
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,300
MRS. MADISON ARE YOU
ALL RIGHT IN THERE?
114
00:06:49,767 --> 00:06:51,533
MR. MADISON?
115
00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:59,467
YES, MRS. BRADLEY.
I'M FINE. THANK YOU.
116
00:07:01,700 --> 00:07:04,899
MRS. MADISON, COULD YOU
COME OUT HERE FOR A MOMENT?
117
00:07:04,900 --> 00:07:07,233
WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.
118
00:07:15,067 --> 00:07:16,699
DID YOU HEAR IT?
119
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:17,832
WHAT'S THAT?
120
00:07:17,833 --> 00:07:21,900
THE NOISE.
THE NOISE. THE RACKET.
121
00:07:31,833 --> 00:07:34,700
THEY MUST BE FILMING
AT THE STUDIO NEXT DOOR.
122
00:07:37,700 --> 00:07:40,599
WHAT A RACKET.
123
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,232
THIS APARTMENT IS
DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET
124
00:07:43,233 --> 00:07:44,899
FROM A WARNER BROS LOT,
125
00:07:44,900 --> 00:07:47,399
WHERE THEY'RE MAKING A GANGSTER
MOVIE CALLED "MIDNIGHT ALIBI."
126
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,132
AND, IN THAT MOVIE,
127
00:07:50,133 --> 00:07:51,899
THERE WERE MACHINE GUN BURSTS
128
00:07:51,900 --> 00:07:55,399
THAT WERE GOING
THROUGHOUT THE EVENING.
129
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:00,732
AT THE TIME, NELLIE'S QUIET
COMPOSURE FELT TOTALLY NORMAL.
130
00:08:00,733 --> 00:08:03,966
SHE WAS A "STILL WATERS
RUN DEEP" TYPE OF LADY.
131
00:08:03,967 --> 00:08:05,199
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
132
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,632
I'LL SEE YOU SOON.
133
00:08:06,633 --> 00:08:09,399
BUT NOW THAT WE KNEW
ERIC MADISON
134
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,932
HAD BEEN SHOT IN THAT ROOM,
135
00:08:11,933 --> 00:08:17,066
THE QUESTION WAS WHAT WAS
NELLIE'S CALM COVERING UP:
136
00:08:17,067 --> 00:08:18,332
A THREAT TO HER OWN LIFE
137
00:08:18,333 --> 00:08:20,732
FROM SOMEONE LURKING
JUST BEHIND THAT DOOR
138
00:08:20,733 --> 00:08:24,366
OR A VIOLENT ACTION NELLIE
HERSELF HAD COMMITTED?
139
00:08:24,367 --> 00:08:28,366
NO ONE KNEW THE ANSWER
BECAUSE NELLIE WAS GONE,
140
00:08:28,367 --> 00:08:32,599
AND THE TRUTH OF WHAT HAPPENED
THAT NIGHT IN ROOM 123
141
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,466
REMAINED HER SECRET, ALONE.
142
00:08:35,467 --> 00:08:37,432
SO THE POLICE
WANTED TO TALK TO THE NEIGHBORS
143
00:08:37,433 --> 00:08:40,899
AND SEE IF THEY KNEW ANYTHING
ABOUT WHERE NELLIE MAY WENT.
144
00:08:40,900 --> 00:08:43,899
I WAS STANDING OUT IN FRONT
OF THE BUILDING THIS MORNING,
145
00:08:43,900 --> 00:08:50,299
AND I GUESS IT WAS
AROUND 9 AM AND, YEAH.
146
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:54,266
I SAW MRS. MADISON
COME OUT OF THE BUILDING.
147
00:08:54,267 --> 00:08:56,399
AND, SHE,
148
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,132
SHE GOT INTO HER CAR.
149
00:08:59,133 --> 00:09:02,799
POLICE LEARNED THAT
NELLIE WAS SEEN
150
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,799
LEAVING THE STERLING ARMS
THAT MORNING AROUND 9 AM.
151
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,132
SHE LEFT CARRYING SOMETHING
WRAPPED IN NEWSPAPERS.
152
00:09:10,133 --> 00:09:14,899
AND SHE DROVE
OFF NOBODY KNOWS WHERE.
153
00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:16,599
THAT WAS THE LAST TIME
THAT ANYBODY
154
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,266
IN THE APARTMENT COMPLEX
HAD SEEN NELLIE MAY MADISON.
155
00:09:20,267 --> 00:09:23,499
YOU THINK IT WAS HER?
WELL, SHE DIDN'T LEAVE THAT ROOM
156
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:25,699
WITHOUT NOTICING
HER HUSBAND WAS ON THE FLOOR.
157
00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:28,532
MAYBE THEY BOTH
GOT INTO SOMETHING NO GOOD.
158
00:09:28,533 --> 00:09:30,267
MAYBE SHE'S IN TROUBLE NOW.
159
00:09:34,900 --> 00:09:37,799
POLICE KNOW THAT THEY
HAVE TO FIND NELLIE MADISON.
160
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,066
SHE'S A SUSPECT.
161
00:09:39,067 --> 00:09:42,299
OR IF SHE'S NOT INVOLVED,
WHERE IS SHE?
162
00:09:42,300 --> 00:09:44,366
IS SHE SAFE?
163
00:09:44,367 --> 00:09:47,067
SHE JUST SEEMS TO HAVE
DISAPPEARED INTO THIN AIR.
164
00:09:56,067 --> 00:10:00,066
A MURDER WAS A SHOCKING THEN,
JUST A SURE AS NOW.
165
00:10:00,067 --> 00:10:03,232
BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING
ABOUT THE WAY ERIC WAS KILLED,
166
00:10:03,233 --> 00:10:06,966
FIVE BULLETS IN THE BACK
BESIDE HIS BED,
167
00:10:06,967 --> 00:10:08,966
AND HIS WIFE MISSING,
168
00:10:08,967 --> 00:10:12,399
THAT HAD AN EXTRA TWIST
OF MYSTERY.
169
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,599
AND IT HAD EVERYONE ASKING,
170
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,432
"WHAT HAD BECOME
OF NELLIE MAY
171
00:10:16,433 --> 00:10:21,632
AFTER SHE LEFT
THE STERLING ARMS APARTMENTS
172
00:10:21,633 --> 00:10:24,899
AND PROMPTLY
VANISHED?"
173
00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:26,266
BY MONDAY MORNING,
174
00:10:26,267 --> 00:10:29,499
NELLIE MADISON'S PICTURE
HAS APPEARED IN THE NEWSPAPERS.
175
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:33,766
POLICE SAY THEY'RE LOOKING FOR
A BEAUTIFUL BLACK-HAIRED WOMAN.
176
00:10:33,767 --> 00:10:35,466
THIS HAPPENED LESS THAN
24 HOURS AGO.
177
00:10:35,467 --> 00:10:38,199
IT'S, LIKE, SHE DISAPPEARED
FROM GREATER LOS ANGELES.
178
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,666
THIS WASN'T AN ERA
OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION.
179
00:10:40,667 --> 00:10:42,166
YOU CAN'T TRACK PEOPLE.
180
00:10:42,167 --> 00:10:46,999
AND THEY CAN'T REALLY DO MUCH
MORE WITHOUT NELLIE MAY MADISON.
181
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,866
CAPTAIN BRIGHT?
YES.
182
00:10:48,867 --> 00:10:50,666
CAN I HELP YOU?
183
00:10:50,667 --> 00:10:52,066
CHARLES BROWN.
184
00:10:52,067 --> 00:10:54,099
POLICE HAVE BEEN CONTACTED
185
00:10:54,100 --> 00:10:55,632
BY A MAN NAMED CHARLES BROWN.
186
00:10:55,633 --> 00:10:57,432
I'D LIKE TO SAY
THAT I DON'T KNOW THE WOMAN
187
00:10:57,433 --> 00:10:58,766
THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR,
188
00:10:58,767 --> 00:11:00,932
BUT SHE USED TO BE MARRIED
TO MY BROTHER
189
00:11:00,933 --> 00:11:03,566
BEFORE SHE
MARRIED THE DEAD GENTLEMAN.
190
00:11:03,567 --> 00:11:05,066
DIVORCE?
191
00:11:05,067 --> 00:11:10,166
IT WAS QUITE UNUSUAL
TO BE DIVORCED IN THE 1930s.
192
00:11:10,167 --> 00:11:12,099
THAT IMMEDIATELY MAKES
THEM THINK,
193
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:14,299
"WELL, WHAT KIND OF A WOMAN
IS THIS?"
194
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:17,966
ANYTHING YOU CAN TELL US
ABOUT THIS WOMAN?
195
00:11:17,967 --> 00:11:20,832
WELL, I CAN TELL YOU THAT SHE
COULD SURVIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS
196
00:11:20,833 --> 00:11:22,666
FOR WEEKS.
197
00:11:22,667 --> 00:11:25,399
THEY LEARN FROM
CHARLES BROWN
198
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,499
THAT NELLIE WAS DILLON, MONTANA,
199
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:29,299
GREW UP ON A RANCH OUT THERE.
200
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:31,332
I CAN TELL YOU
THAT SHE COULD SHOOT A RABBIT
201
00:11:31,333 --> 00:11:33,732
FROM 50 YARDS ON A RUN.
202
00:11:33,733 --> 00:11:34,932
SHE CAN BUILD A FIRE.
203
00:11:34,933 --> 00:11:37,432
SHE CAN SKIN A DEER.
204
00:11:37,433 --> 00:11:38,866
SHE WAS A WOMAN WHO SMOKED.
205
00:11:38,867 --> 00:11:40,132
SHE ENJOYED A DRINK.
206
00:11:40,133 --> 00:11:42,332
SHE HAD SEVERAL JOBS.
207
00:11:42,333 --> 00:11:47,932
SHE CERTAINLY DOESN'T FIT THE
CONVENTIONAL WOMAN OF THE TIME.
208
00:11:47,933 --> 00:11:49,399
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN',
CAPTAIN.
209
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,566
MY BROTHER, WILLIAM,
IS A GOOD MAN.
210
00:11:51,567 --> 00:11:52,699
HE'S A LAWYER.
211
00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:54,099
SHE THREATENED HIM.
212
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:56,699
SHE SMASHED A BOTTLE
OVER HIS HEAD.
213
00:11:56,700 --> 00:11:59,799
SHE EVEN DREW A GUN ON HIM.
214
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,732
HE HAD TO WRESTLE IT
OUT OF HER HANDS.
215
00:12:02,733 --> 00:12:04,966
I'M NOT SO SURPRISED
THIS OTHER GENTLEMAN,
216
00:12:04,967 --> 00:12:06,632
ENDED UP THE WAY HE DID.
217
00:12:06,633 --> 00:12:09,766
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
WHERE WE CAN FIND HER?
218
00:12:09,767 --> 00:12:11,299
THEY HAD A FRIEND.
219
00:12:11,300 --> 00:12:13,899
HIS NAME WAS C-- CUDDY.
220
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:16,066
HIS NAME WAS CUDDY.
YEAH.
221
00:12:16,067 --> 00:12:17,399
CHARLES BROWN TELLS THE POLICE
222
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,332
THAT HE THINKS
HE KNOWS WHERE SHE IS.
223
00:12:19,333 --> 00:12:22,066
IT'S A PLACE
CALLED THE CUDDY RANCH.
224
00:12:22,067 --> 00:12:24,966
IT WAS ABOUT 80 MILES
NORTH OF LOS ANGELES,
225
00:12:24,967 --> 00:12:26,866
WHICH WAS THE WILD WEST
AT THE TIME.
226
00:12:26,867 --> 00:12:29,099
THERE WAS NOTHING
80 MILES NORTH OF LOS ANGELES
227
00:12:29,100 --> 00:12:31,167
BESIDES MOUNTAINS AND PRAIRIE.
228
00:12:33,767 --> 00:12:35,266
IT TOOK 2 1/2 HOURS
229
00:12:35,267 --> 00:12:39,732
TO DRIVE 80 MILES NORTH
OF LOS ANGELES OVER DIRT ROADS.
230
00:12:39,733 --> 00:12:44,066
THERE, YOU'RE COMING TO AN AREA
THAT IS ESSENTIALLY LAWLESS.
231
00:12:44,067 --> 00:12:45,566
CUDDY'S RANCH IS
232
00:12:45,567 --> 00:12:48,699
THIS LITTLE CABIN
IN THIS REMOTE AREA.
233
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:50,799
THERE WERE MOUNTAINS
AND RANCH LANDS
234
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,666
THAT HADN'T EVEN BEEN
REACHED BY ELECTRIC POWER.
235
00:12:54,667 --> 00:12:56,532
IT WAS A DARN GOOD PLACE
TO HIDE
236
00:12:56,533 --> 00:12:58,133
FOR A COUNTRY GIRL LIKE NELLIE
237
00:13:00,333 --> 00:13:03,599
BECAUSE IF YOU WANDERED ONTO
THE WRONG PERSON'S PROPERTY,
238
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,233
YOU MIGHT NOT EVER
BEEN HEARD FROM AGAIN.
239
00:13:11,267 --> 00:13:13,432
NOW, THE POLICE
ARE ON HIGH ALERT
240
00:13:13,433 --> 00:13:16,400
BECAUSE CHARLES
SAYS THAT SHE WAS CRACK SHOT.
241
00:13:33,367 --> 00:13:35,167
WE'RE LOOKIN'
FOR NELLIE MADISON.
242
00:13:37,933 --> 00:13:39,432
HAVE YOU SEEN HER,
BY CHANCE?
243
00:13:39,433 --> 00:13:43,132
NAH, HAVEN'T SEEN HER
IN 6 MONTHS.
244
00:13:43,133 --> 00:13:45,066
NOW, LISTEN.
245
00:13:45,067 --> 00:13:48,166
I NEED YOU TO COOPERATE.
246
00:13:48,167 --> 00:13:52,832
THERE'S BEEN A MURDER, AND WE
THINK MRS. MADISON WAS INVOLVED.
247
00:13:52,833 --> 00:13:54,633
MURDER?
248
00:14:03,633 --> 00:14:05,766
HAVEN'T SEEN HER?
249
00:14:05,767 --> 00:14:07,533
LOOKS LIKE THE CAR
SHE'S BEEN DRIVING.
250
00:14:44,567 --> 00:14:46,066
THIRTY-TWOS.
251
00:14:46,067 --> 00:14:48,832
IT'S LIKE THE ONES THAT GOT
ERIC MADISON IN THE BACK.
252
00:14:48,833 --> 00:14:50,800
LOOKS LIKE SHE HAD A CHANCE
TO RELOAD TOO.
253
00:15:10,733 --> 00:15:14,066
MRS. MADISON.
254
00:15:14,067 --> 00:15:15,833
NELLIE MAY.
255
00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:21,800
JUST TELL US WHERE YOU ARE,
AND NO ONE GETS HURT.
256
00:15:27,767 --> 00:15:29,567
WE KNOW YOU'RE HERE.
257
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,967
NELLIE.
258
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,599
NELLIE.
259
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,133
NELLIE MAY.
260
00:15:57,700 --> 00:15:59,467
NELLIE.
261
00:16:16,067 --> 00:16:17,667
COME ON OUT, NOW.
262
00:16:19,933 --> 00:16:23,732
YOUR HUSBAND'S DEAD.
YOU KILL HIM?
263
00:16:23,733 --> 00:16:25,632
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THAT.
264
00:16:25,633 --> 00:16:27,233
WHERE'S THE PISTOL?
265
00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:50,066
AND THEY FIND A RECEIPT
FOR A .32 CALIBER PISTOL.
266
00:16:50,067 --> 00:16:54,299
AND THE GUN WAS BOUGHT
ON THE DAY OF THE MURDER.
267
00:16:54,300 --> 00:16:55,766
AFTER SEARCHING THE RANCH,
268
00:16:55,767 --> 00:16:58,899
THE POLICE DIDN'T TURN UP
THE ACTUAL MURDER WEAPON.
269
00:16:58,900 --> 00:17:02,699
BUT THE RECEIPT FOR THE
PISTOL AND THE AMMO,
270
00:17:02,700 --> 00:17:05,932
THEY THOUGHT THAT WAS PLENTY
OF EVIDENCE, CIRCUMSTANTIAL
271
00:17:05,933 --> 00:17:11,799
OR NOT, FOR THEM TO ARREST
NELLIE MADISON FOR MURDER.
272
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,532
THE PRESS HAD BEEN HOT
ON THE STORY
273
00:17:13,533 --> 00:17:16,266
WHEN IT WAS JUST MAN
WITH FIVE BULLETS IN HIS BACK
274
00:17:16,267 --> 00:17:17,799
AND A MISSING WIFE.
275
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,466
NOW THAT THERE WAS A CHANCE
TO HEAR MORE FROM THE BEAUTIFUL
276
00:17:20,467 --> 00:17:23,532
AND POSSIBLY
DEADLY NELLIE MADISON,
277
00:17:23,533 --> 00:17:26,100
THE PAPERS WERE ALL OVER IT.
278
00:17:28,100 --> 00:17:30,832
THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THE PRESS AND THE POLICE
279
00:17:30,833 --> 00:17:33,466
WAS QUITE INTERESTING
AT THAT TIME.
280
00:17:33,467 --> 00:17:35,632
AND REPORTERS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS
281
00:17:35,633 --> 00:17:38,967
ALL SWEPT INTO THE INTERROGATION
ROOM WITH NELLIE.
282
00:17:42,633 --> 00:17:44,466
YOUR HUSBAND'S DEAD, AND WE KNOW
YOU WERE THE LAST ONE
283
00:17:44,467 --> 00:17:45,566
IN THAT ROOM.
284
00:17:45,567 --> 00:17:47,333
YOU SHOOT HIM?
285
00:18:10,133 --> 00:18:12,899
THEY REALLY DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO MAKE OF HER.
286
00:18:12,900 --> 00:18:14,232
SHE'S NOT SUBMISSIVE
287
00:18:14,233 --> 00:18:18,066
IN THE FACE OF BEING QUESTIONED
BY ALL THESE MEN.
288
00:18:18,067 --> 00:18:20,532
ALL RIGHT.
289
00:18:20,533 --> 00:18:22,866
OKAY.
290
00:18:22,867 --> 00:18:29,632
SO, YOU WERE MARRIED
BEFORE TO WILLIAM BROWN?
291
00:18:29,633 --> 00:18:33,932
THAT'S RIGHT. WILLIAM BROWN
IS A FORMER HUSBAND OF MINE.
292
00:18:33,933 --> 00:18:38,799
HOW MANY FORMER HUSBANDS
DO YOU HAVE NOW?
293
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,166
THREE.
294
00:18:42,167 --> 00:18:43,933
FOUR.
295
00:18:47,500 --> 00:18:52,099
MAYBE FIVE, I SUPPOSE.
296
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:53,399
I WAS VERY YOUNG.
297
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,066
THE FIRST WAS ANNULLED
SO IT DOESN'T COUNT.
298
00:18:56,067 --> 00:18:57,232
SO IN THE EYES OF CHURCH,
299
00:18:57,233 --> 00:19:01,266
ANYWAY, ONLY THREE
BEFORE MR. MADISON.
300
00:19:01,267 --> 00:19:02,732
SHE EXPLAINS THAT SHE
301
00:19:02,733 --> 00:19:04,399
RAN AWAY FROM HOME
WHEN SHE WAS 13
302
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,632
WITH THIS FELON WHO IS ABOUT
10 YEARS OLDER THAN HER.
303
00:19:08,633 --> 00:19:11,966
AND THEN, THE --
THE MARRIAGE IS ANNULLED.
304
00:19:11,967 --> 00:19:15,166
WERE THEY ALL SO BAD?
305
00:19:15,167 --> 00:19:16,732
THINGS DIDN'T WORK OUT.
306
00:19:16,733 --> 00:19:19,266
AT SOME POINT,
WHY EVEN BOTHER WITH A WEDDING?
307
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:25,366
WHAT ABOUT CHILDREN?
308
00:19:25,367 --> 00:19:28,399
IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.
309
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,066
IN THEIR EYES,
310
00:19:30,067 --> 00:19:32,966
THE NUMBER
OF MARRIAGES WAS ASTONISHING.
311
00:19:32,967 --> 00:19:34,766
AND THE FACT
THAT SHE HAD NO CHILDREN
312
00:19:34,767 --> 00:19:37,166
FROM THOSE WAS SUSPICIOUS ALSO.
313
00:19:37,167 --> 00:19:38,933
AND DON'T YOU WANT CHILDREN?
314
00:19:42,367 --> 00:19:44,066
AND THEN, SHE DOES SOMETHING,
315
00:19:44,067 --> 00:19:46,766
WHICH AT THE TIME
IS SIMPLY REMARKABLE.
316
00:19:46,767 --> 00:19:48,832
AND, NOW,
I'D LIKE TO MAKE A PHONE CALL.
317
00:19:48,833 --> 00:19:52,599
I SHOULDN'T SAY ANY MORE
UNTIL MY ATTORNEY IS WITH ME.
318
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,232
IS SHE ALLOWED TO DO THAT?
319
00:19:55,233 --> 00:19:57,532
UM...
I WAS MARRIED TO A LAWYER.
320
00:19:57,533 --> 00:20:00,632
I KNOW MY RIGHTS.
321
00:20:00,633 --> 00:20:03,232
BRING HER THE PHONE.
322
00:20:03,233 --> 00:20:06,799
1934 IS MANY, MANY
YEARS BEFORE MIRANDA RIGHTS.
323
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,432
THANK YOU.
324
00:20:08,433 --> 00:20:13,299
AND TO DEMAND
THAT SHE BE ABLE TO SEE A LAWYER
325
00:20:13,300 --> 00:20:17,032
BEFORE THEY QUESTIONED HER
FURTHER WAS JUST HIGHLY UNUSUAL,
326
00:20:17,033 --> 00:20:19,699
ESPECIALLY FOR A WOMAN.
327
00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:23,300
THIS IS AN, AS FAR AS THEY'RE
CONCERNED, ANOTHER RED FLAG.
328
00:20:28,733 --> 00:20:31,999
JOSEPH RYAN, ESQUIRE.
329
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,332
AND SHE CALLED FOR A LAWYER
330
00:20:33,333 --> 00:20:36,167
WHO HAD BEEN
ADVERTISING AROUND LOS ANGELES.
331
00:20:39,933 --> 00:20:42,299
IF THE POLICE
WERE HOPING FOR A CONFESSION,
332
00:20:42,300 --> 00:20:44,599
NELLIE'S MANEUVER
WITH THE LAWYER SHOWED THEM
333
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,500
THAT SHE WASN'T GOING
TO GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.
334
00:20:50,833 --> 00:20:51,899
GOOD AFTERNOON, SIR.
335
00:20:51,900 --> 00:20:53,366
GOOD AFTERNOON.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YA?
336
00:20:53,367 --> 00:20:55,899
I HAVE A RECEIPT FOR A WEAPON
I BELIEVE WAS PURCHASED HERE.
337
00:20:55,900 --> 00:20:57,166
WOULD YOU MIND TAKING A LOOK?
338
00:20:57,167 --> 00:21:00,766
SO THEY KEPT BUILDING THEIR
CASE AGAINST HER
339
00:21:00,767 --> 00:21:05,432
BY TRACKING DOWN
THAT GUN PURCHASE.
340
00:21:05,433 --> 00:21:06,499
MRS. MADISON, RIGHT HERE.
341
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:08,300
TAKE A LOOK.
342
00:21:13,833 --> 00:21:15,466
DO YOU REMEMBER HER?
343
00:21:15,467 --> 00:21:16,467
WELL, YES, SIR.
YES, SIR.
344
00:21:16,468 --> 00:21:17,766
SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING ON A --
345
00:21:17,767 --> 00:21:20,067
ON A HUNTING OR A SHOOTING TRIP
WITH HER HUSBAND.
346
00:21:26,900 --> 00:21:29,399
THAT WILL DO.
OKAY, GREAT.
347
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,866
YOU CAN PICK IT UP TOMORROW.
348
00:21:32,867 --> 00:21:38,166
IN 1934, LOS ANGELES COUNTY
HAS A 24-HOUR WAITING PERIOD.
349
00:21:38,167 --> 00:21:41,166
MY HUSBAND AND I, WE'RE LEAVING
FOR THE MOUNTAINS TONIGHT.
350
00:21:41,167 --> 00:21:43,666
I -- I'M SORRY, MA'AM.
IT -- IT'S THE LAW.
351
00:21:43,667 --> 00:21:46,132
I'VE OWNED WEAPONS BEFORE,
YOU UNDERSTAND.
352
00:21:46,133 --> 00:21:47,832
I --
I UNDERSTAND THAT.
353
00:21:47,833 --> 00:21:51,366
BUT I JU--
THERE'S REALLY NOTHING I CAN DO.
354
00:21:51,367 --> 00:21:54,133
PLEASE?
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
355
00:21:57,300 --> 00:21:58,933
THERE MUST BE SOME WAY.
356
00:22:03,333 --> 00:22:06,499
SO YOU GAVE IT TO HER
RIGHT THEN?
357
00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:08,532
BE STRAIGHT WITH ME.
358
00:22:08,533 --> 00:22:11,366
YES, SIR.
I -- I GUESS I DID.
359
00:22:11,367 --> 00:22:12,566
SHE -- SHE SEEMED REAL NICE.
360
00:22:12,567 --> 00:22:13,932
SURE.
361
00:22:13,933 --> 00:22:18,066
EVERYTHING NELLIE DID MADE
HER LOOK GUILTY AS SIN:
362
00:22:18,067 --> 00:22:19,199
FLEEING THE SCENE,
363
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,132
THE TIMING OF HER
BUYING A GUN,
364
00:22:21,133 --> 00:22:22,899
ASKING FOR A LAWYER.
365
00:22:22,900 --> 00:22:25,932
THANK YOU.
HAVE A GOOD DAY.
366
00:22:28,067 --> 00:22:29,432
SO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY
367
00:22:29,433 --> 00:22:31,766
DECIDED TO MAKE
AN EXAMPLE OUT OF HER.
368
00:22:31,767 --> 00:22:33,066
AND, DESPITE THE FACT
369
00:22:33,067 --> 00:22:35,666
THAT NO WOMAN IN THE HISTORY
OF CALIFORNIA
370
00:22:35,667 --> 00:22:37,499
HAD EVER SERVED A SENTENCE
371
00:22:37,500 --> 00:22:40,066
MORE SEVERE
THAN LIFE IN PRISON,
372
00:22:40,067 --> 00:22:43,967
THE STATE WAS GOING TO ASK
FOR THE DEATH PENALTY.
373
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:49,066
FOR THE PRESS, THIS SORT
OF A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
374
00:22:49,067 --> 00:22:53,699
BECAUSE NOT ONLY DO THEY HAVE
A FEMALE MURDER SUSPECT,
375
00:22:53,700 --> 00:22:57,466
BUT SHE'S ALSO MYSTERIOUS.
376
00:22:57,467 --> 00:22:58,866
SHE'S ENIGMATIC.
377
00:22:58,867 --> 00:23:01,066
SHE'S LIVED
AN UNTRADITIONAL LIFE.
378
00:23:01,067 --> 00:23:04,632
SHE HAS NO CHILDREN.
379
00:23:04,633 --> 00:23:06,299
THEY CALLED HER
THE SPHINX WOMAN,
380
00:23:06,300 --> 00:23:09,666
THE IRON MAIDEN,
THE ENIGMA WOMAN.
381
00:23:09,667 --> 00:23:11,932
FOR THAT SPRING
AND EARLY SUMMER,
382
00:23:11,933 --> 00:23:14,832
NELLIE MAY MADISON WAS
THE BIGGEST NAME IN HOLLYWOOD,
383
00:23:14,833 --> 00:23:17,233
JUST AS FAMOUS AS ANY
MOVIE STAR.
384
00:23:21,100 --> 00:23:26,766
AND WHEN HER TRIAL BEGAN,
SHE LOOKED EVERY INCH THE PART,
385
00:23:26,767 --> 00:23:29,166
LIKE A CHARACTER
FROM "THE MALTESE FALCON,"
386
00:23:29,167 --> 00:23:30,666
THE MYSTERIOUS MURDERESS
387
00:23:30,667 --> 00:23:33,732
COME DOWN OFF THE SCREEN.
388
00:23:33,733 --> 00:23:37,266
SHE WAS THE COOL, QUIET,
GOOD-LOOKING
389
00:23:37,267 --> 00:23:39,767
PULP FICTION FEMME FATALE.
390
00:23:43,967 --> 00:23:45,299
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
391
00:23:45,300 --> 00:23:50,066
ERIC MADISON
WAS CALLOUSLY SHOT IN THE BACK.
392
00:23:50,067 --> 00:23:54,732
SIX SHOTS WERE FIRED
AT THIS DEFENSELESS MAN.
393
00:23:54,733 --> 00:24:00,732
AND HIS WIFE,
MRS. NELLIE MAY MADISON,
394
00:24:00,733 --> 00:24:05,200
FLED THE SCENE
AND THIS TERRIBLE DEED.
395
00:24:11,333 --> 00:24:15,632
THE PROSECUTORS BRING
IN THE QUOTE, UNQUOTE DEATH BED,
396
00:24:15,633 --> 00:24:19,266
REMINDING THE JURY
THAT THIS IS A CASE
397
00:24:19,267 --> 00:24:22,966
WHERE THE MAN
MAY WELL HAVE BEEN DEFENSELESS.
398
00:24:26,067 --> 00:24:28,599
CALL THE FIRST WITNESS.
399
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,632
YOUR HONOR, THE DEFENSE
400
00:24:30,633 --> 00:24:33,500
CALLS MRS. NELLIE MAY MADISON
TO THE STAND.
401
00:24:39,067 --> 00:24:41,099
WE WERE ALL WAITING TO FINALLY
402
00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:44,799
HEAR AN EXPLANATION
FROM THE SILENT SPHINX WOMAN.
403
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,600
WHAT WAS
NELLIE MADISON'S SECRET?
404
00:24:50,833 --> 00:24:54,732
MRS. MADISON,
ON MARCH 24 OF THIS YEAR,
405
00:24:54,733 --> 00:24:57,399
DID YOU MURDER ERIC MADISON?
406
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,766
I DID NOT.
407
00:25:00,767 --> 00:25:03,567
DID YOU SHOOT THIS MAN?
408
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:08,166
I DID NOT.
409
00:25:08,167 --> 00:25:12,200
IS THIS MAN ERIC MADISON?
410
00:25:14,167 --> 00:25:15,899
IT IS NOT.
411
00:25:21,867 --> 00:25:25,066
WELL, HOW CAN YOU BE SURE?
412
00:25:25,067 --> 00:25:26,599
I KNOW MY HUSBAND.
413
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,200
I BELIEVE HE'S OUT THERE,
SOMEWHERE, ALIVE.
414
00:25:33,067 --> 00:25:35,967
ERIC MADISON IS,
SOMEWHERE OUT THERE, ALIVE.
415
00:25:39,233 --> 00:25:40,900
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
416
00:25:50,533 --> 00:25:52,366
I LOVED THE MOVIES.
417
00:25:52,367 --> 00:25:53,899
NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.
418
00:25:53,900 --> 00:25:57,266
AND I THOUGHT I'D SEEN JUST
ABOUT EVERY SURPRISE PLOT TWIST
419
00:25:57,267 --> 00:25:58,566
THERE WAS,
420
00:25:58,567 --> 00:26:00,566
BUT NONE TOPPED THE BOMB SHELL
421
00:26:00,567 --> 00:26:02,066
THAT NELLIE SPRUNG WHEN
422
00:26:02,067 --> 00:26:06,432
SHE INSISTED THAT ERIC MADISON
WAS STILL ALIVE.
423
00:26:06,433 --> 00:26:08,966
NELLIE SAYS THAT THE PERSON
424
00:26:08,967 --> 00:26:12,699
FOUND DEAD ON THE FLOOR
OF THE APARTMENT IS A STRANGER.
425
00:26:12,700 --> 00:26:15,132
AND SHE DOESN'T KNOW
HOW THEY GOT THERE.
426
00:26:15,133 --> 00:26:19,666
SO THIS IS MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
427
00:26:19,667 --> 00:26:23,932
IS THE MAN IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH
ERIC MADISON?
428
00:26:23,933 --> 00:26:26,132
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HIM.
429
00:26:26,133 --> 00:26:28,399
JOSEPH RYAN,
THE DEFENSE LAWYER,
430
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,232
HAD GOTTEN FIRED FROM
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
431
00:26:31,233 --> 00:26:34,932
AND HAD BECOME THE EQUIVALENT
OF AN AMBULANCE CHASER.
432
00:26:34,933 --> 00:26:36,966
IS THIS ERIC MADISON?
NO.
433
00:26:36,967 --> 00:26:40,199
AND HE SHOWED PICTURES
OF THE BODY TO WITNESSES.
434
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,966
ERIC MADISON HAD A MOLE
ON HIS FACE,
435
00:26:41,967 --> 00:26:43,332
AND THAT MAN DOESN'T.
436
00:26:43,333 --> 00:26:46,232
PEOPLE WHO KNEW ERIC
YEARS EARLIER...
437
00:26:46,233 --> 00:26:48,667
THAT IS NOT ERIC MADISON.
438
00:26:52,633 --> 00:26:55,332
JUDGE, AT THIS TIME, THE STATE
CALLS GEORGIA MADISON
439
00:26:55,333 --> 00:26:57,067
TO THE STAND.
440
00:27:06,567 --> 00:27:09,632
GEORGIA MADISON
IS ERIC'S EX-WIFE.
441
00:27:09,633 --> 00:27:12,732
MRS. MADISON,
I'M GONNA SHOW YOU A PHOTOGRAPH.
442
00:27:12,733 --> 00:27:15,832
DO YOU RECOGNIZE THE MAN
IN THAT PICTURE?
443
00:27:15,833 --> 00:27:17,166
YES.
444
00:27:17,167 --> 00:27:19,599
WHO IS THE MAN IN THAT PICTURE?
445
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,799
ERIC MADISON.
446
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,199
OBJECTION.
447
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,800
OVERRULED.
448
00:27:26,933 --> 00:27:29,166
HOW CAN YOU BE SO SURE
THAT THAT IS ERIC MADISON?
449
00:27:29,167 --> 00:27:30,599
WE WERE MARRIED FOR YEARS.
I THINK I SHOULD KNOW
450
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,899
WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.
451
00:27:33,900 --> 00:27:35,732
AS A JUROR SITTING IN
THIS CASE,
452
00:27:35,733 --> 00:27:37,599
ALL YOU'RE THINKING
AT THAT POINT IS,
453
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,066
NOT ONLY
DID SHE KILL HER HUSBAND,
454
00:27:40,067 --> 00:27:45,566
NOW SHE'S WILLING TO LIE TO US
BLATANTLY TO GET OUT OF IT.
455
00:27:45,567 --> 00:27:48,132
THERE'S DISCUSSION
AROUND THE COURTHOUSE
456
00:27:48,133 --> 00:27:50,499
TO WHAT WAS RYAN DOING.
457
00:27:50,500 --> 00:27:52,166
HOW COULD HE HAVE PRESENTED
SOMETHING
458
00:27:52,167 --> 00:27:56,232
THAT SO CLEARLY WAS NOT TRUE?
459
00:27:56,233 --> 00:27:58,432
HAS THE JURY
REACHED A VERDICT?
460
00:27:58,433 --> 00:28:00,300
YES, WE HAVE.
461
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:11,232
THE JURY FINDS THE DEFENDANT,
NELLIE MAY MADISON,
462
00:28:11,233 --> 00:28:14,800
GUILTY OF MURDER
IN THE FIRST DEGREE.
463
00:28:18,367 --> 00:28:20,266
THE STATE HAD ASKED FOR
THE DEATH PENALTY
464
00:28:20,267 --> 00:28:21,632
AGAINST NELLIE
465
00:28:21,633 --> 00:28:24,699
BUT IT WAS STILL UP TO THE JURY
TO DECIDE.
466
00:28:24,700 --> 00:28:27,466
IF THEY WANTED TO SPARE
HER LIFE, THEY WOULD ANSWER
467
00:28:27,467 --> 00:28:31,066
THE JUDGE'S NEXT QUESTION
WITH LIFE IN PRISON.
468
00:28:31,067 --> 00:28:34,466
IF THEY SAID NOTHING, WELL,
469
00:28:34,467 --> 00:28:38,132
THERE SILENCE
WOULD SEAL HER FATE.
470
00:28:38,133 --> 00:28:41,100
AND DO YOU HAVE ANY
RECOMMENDATION FOR THE SENTENCE?
471
00:28:58,733 --> 00:29:02,167
SHE'S GONNA DIE FOR THIS CRIME.
472
00:29:04,500 --> 00:29:08,066
NELLIE'S DEATH SENTENCE
WAS SO UNUSUAL,
473
00:29:08,067 --> 00:29:11,066
THERE WASN'T EVEN A PLACE
IN THE WOMEN'S PRISON
474
00:29:11,067 --> 00:29:12,566
IN TEHACHAPI TO KEEP HER.
475
00:29:12,567 --> 00:29:14,966
THEY NEVER NEEDED
AN ISOLATED LADIES'S DEATH ROW
476
00:29:14,967 --> 00:29:16,299
BEFORE NELLIE.
477
00:29:16,300 --> 00:29:20,166
SO THEY HAD TO PUT HER
IN THE HOSPITAL WING.
478
00:29:20,167 --> 00:29:24,432
NELLIE WAS SCHEDULED FOR
EXECUTION IN 3 MONTHS' TIME.
479
00:29:24,433 --> 00:29:28,567
SHE WAS DESPERATE TO MAKE
SOMETHING HAPPEN AND FAST.
480
00:29:30,967 --> 00:29:36,266
SO NELLIE HIRED A NEW,
MORE RESPECTED ATTORNEY.
481
00:29:36,267 --> 00:29:38,932
AND TOGETHER, THEY GOT THE EAR
OF THE ONE MEMBER
482
00:29:38,933 --> 00:29:42,532
OF THE PRESS WHO SUSPECTED
THAT THERE WAS STILL A LOT
483
00:29:42,533 --> 00:29:45,799
MORE TO NELLIE MADISON
THAN MET THE EYE.
484
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,232
CRIME REPORTER AGGIE
UNDERWOOD BEGINS TO COME OUT
485
00:29:48,233 --> 00:29:51,866
AND VISIT HER AT THE PRISON.
486
00:29:51,867 --> 00:29:55,366
I WANT PEOPLE
TO KNOW THE TRUTH.
487
00:29:55,367 --> 00:29:57,066
I WANTED TO TELL THE TRUTH
AT MY TRIAL
488
00:29:57,067 --> 00:30:03,899
BUT MY LAWYER
WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO.
489
00:30:03,900 --> 00:30:05,733
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, NELLIE?
490
00:30:11,767 --> 00:30:16,900
A WEEK BEFORE ERIC DIED,
I CAME HOME...
491
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,566
AND THERE WAS A GIRL.
492
00:30:22,567 --> 00:30:24,532
SHE SEES ERIC MADISON
493
00:30:24,533 --> 00:30:29,932
AND A TEENAGE PROSTITUTE
ON THE BED TOGETHER.
494
00:30:29,933 --> 00:30:31,399
HE WAS ON HIS BACK
495
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:36,232
AND SHE WAS LYING FACING
HIS FEET, AN UNNATURAL POSITION.
496
00:30:36,233 --> 00:30:39,666
AND...
497
00:30:39,667 --> 00:30:41,832
THEY WERE BOTH USING
THEIR MOUTHS ON EACH OTHER.
498
00:30:47,900 --> 00:30:51,299
NELLIE SAID THAT WHEN HIS DIRTY
LITTLE SECRET,
499
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:54,666
THAT HE HAD AN APPETITE
FOR UNDERAGE GIRLS,
500
00:30:54,667 --> 00:30:57,732
WAS FINALLY EXPOSED THAT DAY,
501
00:30:57,733 --> 00:31:02,267
ANY VENEER OF KINDNESS
FELL AWAY ALTOGETHER.
502
00:31:06,633 --> 00:31:08,400
TELL US WHAT HAPPENED, NELLIE.
503
00:31:12,633 --> 00:31:14,799
ERIC PROCEEDED TO TELL
HER THAT THE PERSON
504
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,366
THAT MARRIED THEM WAS A FRIEND
OF HIS AND NOT A MINISTER.
505
00:31:19,367 --> 00:31:22,466
THAT HE FAKED
THE WEDDING CEREMONY WITH HER.
506
00:31:22,467 --> 00:31:24,499
AND THE REASON THAT HE
EVEN WAS WITH HER
507
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:26,766
WAS FOR HER MONEY.
508
00:31:26,767 --> 00:31:29,966
SHE HAD $1,000
INHERITANCE FROM HER MOTHER.
509
00:31:29,967 --> 00:31:32,132
YOU'VE INSULTED ME
FOR THE LAST TIME.
510
00:31:32,133 --> 00:31:34,100
I CAN DO
WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT TO.
511
00:31:36,467 --> 00:31:38,066
NELLIE SAID ERIC'S DRINKING
512
00:31:38,067 --> 00:31:41,133
BROUGHT OUT
BURSTS OF VIOLENT ANGER.
513
00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:45,266
MY GOD.
514
00:31:45,267 --> 00:31:50,199
IT WAS AWFUL.
515
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,599
WRITE THIS.
516
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,099
AND AS PART OF HIS
CONTROL OF NELLIE MAY MADISON,
517
00:31:55,100 --> 00:31:58,499
HE TOLD HER THAT, "YOU'RE GONNA
SAY THAT YOU CHEATED ON ME."
518
00:31:58,500 --> 00:32:04,466
"DEAR ERIC,
I'VE NEVER LOVED YOU..."
519
00:32:04,467 --> 00:32:08,332
HE MADE YOU WRITE SOME KIND
OF FAKE CONFESSION?
520
00:32:08,333 --> 00:32:12,066
YES.
521
00:32:12,067 --> 00:32:16,099
NELLIE SAYS THAT ERIC
FORCES HER TO WRITE A LETTER
522
00:32:16,100 --> 00:32:19,966
THAT SAYS IT WAS HER DECISION
TO NOT BE MARRIED.
523
00:32:19,967 --> 00:32:22,232
THAT SHE'S A FORNICATOR,
BASICALLY.
524
00:32:22,233 --> 00:32:26,866
"PLEASE FORGIVE ME,
NELLIE MADISON."
525
00:32:26,867 --> 00:32:29,299
THIS WAS DEVASTATING.
526
00:32:29,300 --> 00:32:30,666
BACK AT THIS TIME,
527
00:32:30,667 --> 00:32:33,132
IF YOU WERE LIVING WITH SOMEONE
WHO WASN'T YOUR HUSBAND,
528
00:32:33,133 --> 00:32:34,632
HAVING SEX WITH THEM,
529
00:32:34,633 --> 00:32:37,933
THIS COULD REALLY RUIN YOU AND
YOU COULD ACTUALLY BE ARRESTED.
530
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,466
AND THEN THE NEXT THING
HE TOLD HER WAS THAT,
531
00:32:49,467 --> 00:32:51,566
"I'M GONNA KEEP THAT LETTER.
532
00:32:51,567 --> 00:32:53,232
AND IF YOU DON'T DO WHAT I SAY,
533
00:32:53,233 --> 00:32:55,066
THEN I'M GONNA DIVULGE
THAT LETTER TO YOUR FRIENDS
534
00:32:55,067 --> 00:32:56,532
AND YOUR FAMILY."
535
00:32:56,533 --> 00:32:58,400
THIS WOULD HAVE DESTROYED HER.
536
00:33:05,633 --> 00:33:09,866
NELLIE MAY SAYS THAT SHE BECAME
A CAPTIVE IN THE APARTMENT.
537
00:33:09,867 --> 00:33:14,066
ERIC DRINKS,
ERIC BEATS HER,
538
00:33:14,067 --> 00:33:15,667
AND NELLIE STAYS.
539
00:33:19,067 --> 00:33:23,766
THE REASON SHE STAYS IS BECAUSE
SHE WANTS THAT LETTER BACK.
540
00:33:23,767 --> 00:33:27,067
SO SHE LOOKS AND SHE LOOKS
AND SHE LOOKS.
541
00:33:31,233 --> 00:33:33,200
SHE ENDURES THE DRINKING.
542
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,800
SHE ENDURES THE BEATING.
543
00:33:39,333 --> 00:33:41,132
I COULD FEEL
THERE WAS NOTHING IN HIM
544
00:33:41,133 --> 00:33:43,067
THAT CARED IF I WAS ALIVE.
545
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,799
FROM THE TIME SHE WAS 13,
546
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,666
SHE HAD FELT THE BURNING SHAME
OF TRUSTING THE WRONG MEN,
547
00:33:53,667 --> 00:33:56,266
THE COLD JUDGMENT OF OTHERS.
548
00:33:56,267 --> 00:33:59,166
AND EACH TIME,
SHE HAD PICKED HERSELF UP,
549
00:33:59,167 --> 00:34:03,266
VOWED TO ESCAPE HER PAST
AND START OVER.
550
00:34:03,267 --> 00:34:05,866
BUT TO HAVE BEEN
DUPED LIKE THIS,
551
00:34:05,867 --> 00:34:09,632
LIKE SHE HAD LEARNED NOTHING
FROM ALL THOSE YEARS.
552
00:34:09,633 --> 00:34:14,599
SHE BECAME FIXATED ON THAT
NOTE, THE PROOF OF HER SHAME.
553
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,132
SHE WAS NOT GOING TO LET
HIM WALK AWAY WITH IT.
554
00:34:17,133 --> 00:34:18,832
THIS'LL DO.
555
00:34:18,833 --> 00:34:21,732
YOU CAN PICK IT UP TOMORROW.
PLEASE.
556
00:34:21,733 --> 00:34:25,099
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
557
00:34:25,100 --> 00:34:28,299
HE WAS WILLING TO KILL ME.
558
00:34:28,300 --> 00:34:31,066
AND IF HE KEPT ME ALIVE,
559
00:34:31,067 --> 00:34:34,632
IT WAS SO HE COULD TAKE PLEASURE
IN RUINING ME.
560
00:34:34,633 --> 00:34:37,966
NELLIE SAID SOMETHING WAS GOING
TO HAPPEN THAT NIGHT...
561
00:34:37,967 --> 00:34:39,132
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT.
562
00:34:39,133 --> 00:34:42,132
EITHER ERIC
WAS GOING TO KILL HER
563
00:34:42,133 --> 00:34:44,399
OR HE WAS GOING
TO LEAVE WITH THAT LETTER
564
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:49,232
AND TRY TO DESTROY THE LIFE
SHE HAD BUILT FOR HERSELF.
565
00:34:49,233 --> 00:34:52,233
EITHER WAY,
NELLIE WAS GOING TO STOP HIM.
566
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,367
I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU LEAVE
WITH THAT LETTER, ERIC.
567
00:35:00,067 --> 00:35:03,166
IN HIS DRUNKEN STATE,
ERIC MADISON'S RESPONSE TO HER
568
00:35:03,167 --> 00:35:07,200
IS, "YOU PULL THAT GUN ON ME,
I'M GONNA CUT YOUR HEART OUT."
569
00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:11,766
HE REACHED UNDER THE BED
570
00:35:11,767 --> 00:35:14,767
FOR A BOX OF KNIVES
THAT WERE KEPT IN THE ROOM.
571
00:35:36,133 --> 00:35:38,266
SHE WENT THROUGH ALL
OF HIS COAT POCKETS,
572
00:35:38,267 --> 00:35:43,932
AND SHE FOUND THE NOTE.
573
00:35:47,333 --> 00:35:50,299
MRS. MADISON,
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT IN THERE?
574
00:35:50,300 --> 00:35:54,233
YES, MRS. BRADLEY.
I'M FINE, THANK YOU.
575
00:35:58,467 --> 00:36:00,666
SHE TOOK THE NOTE
UP TO CUDDY'S RANCH,
576
00:36:00,667 --> 00:36:02,467
AND SHE BURNED IT.
577
00:36:14,833 --> 00:36:17,466
AGGIE UNDERWOOD
WAS NOBODY'S FOOL.
578
00:36:17,467 --> 00:36:19,699
SHE KNEW THE TIMING
OF THESE REVELATIONS
579
00:36:19,700 --> 00:36:24,299
WAS AWFULLY CONVENIENT NOW
THAT NELLIE WAS ON DEATH ROW.
580
00:36:24,300 --> 00:36:26,699
BUT AS A FEMALE JOURNALIST,
581
00:36:26,700 --> 00:36:29,399
AGGIE WAS ALSO FAMILIAR
WITH BREAKING THE BOUNDARIES
582
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,066
OF WHAT PEOPLE EXPECTED OF HER.
583
00:36:31,067 --> 00:36:33,366
YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH HELL,
NELLIE.
584
00:36:33,367 --> 00:36:36,666
AND SHE HAD SEEN FIRST-HAND
HOW EASY IT WAS FOR
585
00:36:36,667 --> 00:36:39,432
A WOMAN'S VOICE TO GET LOST.
586
00:36:39,433 --> 00:36:41,699
AND I'M GONNA MAKE SURE THAT
PEOPLE FIND OUT.
587
00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:46,833
SO SHE RAN NELLIE'S STORY, AND,
BOY, DID IT MAKE SOME NOISE.
588
00:36:47,900 --> 00:36:49,699
NELLIE'S CONFESSION
589
00:36:49,700 --> 00:36:52,099
BRINGS IMMEDIATE PUBLIC
REACTION.
590
00:36:52,100 --> 00:36:57,366
HER ATTORNEY SAYS THAT SHE NEVER
TOLD HIM THOSE THINGS.
591
00:36:57,367 --> 00:37:00,833
THE POLICE AND THE PROSECUTORS
THINK IT'S A FAIRY STORY.
592
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:04,832
I HAVE TO ADMIT IT.
593
00:37:04,833 --> 00:37:07,132
WHEN I READ
ABOUT NELLIE'S STORY,
594
00:37:07,133 --> 00:37:11,266
WITH TEENAGED HOOKERS
AND FORCED CONFESSIONS,
595
00:37:11,267 --> 00:37:13,366
IT SOUNDED OUTLANDISH.
596
00:37:13,367 --> 00:37:16,132
COULD ERIC REALLY HAVE BEEN
VIOLENTLY ABUSING NELLIE
597
00:37:16,133 --> 00:37:21,466
JUST DOWN THE HALL WITHOUT
ANY OF US BEING THE WISER?
598
00:37:21,467 --> 00:37:24,532
NELLIE'S NEW LAWYER UNDERSTOOD
PEOPLE WOULD BE SKEPTICAL
599
00:37:24,533 --> 00:37:26,066
OF HER WORD ALONE.
600
00:37:26,067 --> 00:37:28,966
SO HE SET OUT TO SEE
IF THERE WAS ANY PROOF
601
00:37:28,967 --> 00:37:32,332
TO BACK UP NELLIE'S CLAIMS.
602
00:37:32,333 --> 00:37:35,066
PLEASE HAVE A SEAT.
603
00:37:35,067 --> 00:37:36,832
AND HE MANAGED TO FIND SOMEONE
604
00:37:36,833 --> 00:37:40,499
TO COME FORWARD
AND SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT
605
00:37:40,500 --> 00:37:46,466
AND FROM A DIRECTION
I WOULD HAVE NEVER EXPECTED.
606
00:37:46,467 --> 00:37:48,799
OKAY.
607
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,067
NOW, TELL ME EVERYTHING
YOU KNOW.
608
00:38:01,167 --> 00:38:03,566
OKAY.
609
00:38:03,567 --> 00:38:06,699
NOW, TELL ME EVERYTHING
YOU KNOW.
610
00:38:06,700 --> 00:38:09,832
I CAN TELL YOU PLENTY
611
00:38:09,833 --> 00:38:13,732
ABOUT THAT ****DAMN BASTARD.
612
00:38:13,733 --> 00:38:16,466
ERIC MADISON'S FIRST WIFE,
GEORGIA,
613
00:38:16,467 --> 00:38:18,432
HAD TESTIFIED AT THE TRIAL.
614
00:38:18,433 --> 00:38:20,066
NELLIE'S OLD LAWYER
615
00:38:20,067 --> 00:38:23,766
DIDN'T THINK TO ASK WHAT ERIC
HAD BEEN LIKE AS A HUSBAND,
616
00:38:23,767 --> 00:38:25,499
BUT HER NEW ONE DID.
617
00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:28,132
AND GEORGIA WAS HAPPY TO TALK.
618
00:38:28,133 --> 00:38:30,599
HE WAS A GOOD DANCER,
619
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,199
BUT IT WAS ALL DOWNHILL
FROM THERE:
620
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,332
VIOLENT, MEAN,
621
00:38:35,333 --> 00:38:39,099
THOUGHT THE WHOLE WORLD
WAS AGAINST HIM,
622
00:38:39,100 --> 00:38:41,067
BUT ESPECIALLY THE WOMEN.
623
00:38:53,300 --> 00:38:56,099
MORE THAN ONCE,
I COULDN'T BREATH.
624
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:57,867
SOMEONE WAS CHOKING ME.
625
00:39:01,100 --> 00:39:02,332
I WOKE UP,
626
00:39:02,333 --> 00:39:05,332
AND ERIC WOULD JUST LAUGH,
627
00:39:05,333 --> 00:39:08,666
SAY IT WAS A DREAM.
628
00:39:08,667 --> 00:39:11,767
BUT I HAD THE BRUISES
ON MY THROAT IN THE MORNING.
629
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,332
HE WAS JUST LOOKING
TO GET MY MONEY
630
00:39:15,333 --> 00:39:18,666
AND THEN A DIVORCE,
QUICK AS YOU PLEASE.
631
00:39:18,667 --> 00:39:22,266
HE INSISTED THIS FRIEND
OF HIS MOVE INTO THE HOUSE
632
00:39:22,267 --> 00:39:24,899
AND TRIED TO MAKE IT LOOK
LIKE WAS COMMITTING ADULTERY,
633
00:39:24,900 --> 00:39:27,066
WHILE HE WAS OUT MESSING
AROUND EVERY NIGHT
634
00:39:27,067 --> 00:39:29,599
WITH TEENAGED GIRLS.
635
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:34,333
BUT HE WANTED ME
TO WRITE A CONFESSION.
636
00:39:40,133 --> 00:39:44,067
AND HE BEAT ME UNTIL I DID.
637
00:39:47,100 --> 00:39:50,366
THE CONSISTENCY
BETWEEN GEORGIA MADISON'S STORY
638
00:39:50,367 --> 00:39:53,066
AND WHAT WAS DONE TO
NELLIE MAY MADISON
639
00:39:53,067 --> 00:39:56,066
IS REMARKABLE.
640
00:39:56,067 --> 00:40:00,432
ERIC MADISON USED THEM AND THEN
GOT ADMISSIONS FROM THE WOMEN
641
00:40:00,433 --> 00:40:02,666
THAT THEY
WERE THE DEFICIENT PARTY
642
00:40:02,667 --> 00:40:05,767
SO THAT HE COULD GET AWAY
WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES.
643
00:40:10,300 --> 00:40:14,566
NELLIE DID KILL ERIC, YES.
644
00:40:14,567 --> 00:40:19,299
BUT WITH ALL THE EXTENUATING
CIRCUMSTANCES,
645
00:40:19,300 --> 00:40:22,899
DID THE PUNISHMENT
FIT THE CRIME?
646
00:40:22,900 --> 00:40:25,899
SHE WAS STILL JUST WEEKS
AWAY FROM THE GALLOWS.
647
00:40:25,900 --> 00:40:28,400
NOTHING HAD CHANGED THAT YET.
648
00:40:32,667 --> 00:40:36,432
PEOPLE START WRITING LETTERS
TO THE GOVERNOR,
649
00:40:36,433 --> 00:40:39,032
BEGGING HIM TO REPRIEVE HER.
650
00:40:39,033 --> 00:40:41,166
YOU SHOULDN'T EXECUTE
THIS WOMAN
651
00:40:41,167 --> 00:40:43,532
BECAUSE HER HUSBAND
WAS AN ABUSER
652
00:40:43,533 --> 00:40:46,167
AND HER LAWYER WAS AN IDIOT.
653
00:40:48,233 --> 00:40:51,966
ERIC MADISON HAD USED A LETTER
TO INTIMIDATE NELLIE,
654
00:40:51,967 --> 00:40:54,166
AND IT WAS LETTERS
FROM THE PUBLIC
655
00:40:54,167 --> 00:40:57,033
THAT WERE THE BEST HOPE
OF SAVING HER LIFE.
656
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,199
BUT EVEN WITH ALL THE SUPPORT,
657
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,099
THERE WAS JUST ONE
OFFICIAL DECREE
658
00:41:04,100 --> 00:41:08,799
THAT SHE WAS WAITING FOR.
659
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,167
AND IT FINALLY ARRIVED...
660
00:41:15,700 --> 00:41:18,199
A STAY OF EXECUTION
661
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,066
FROM THE GOVERNOR
OF CALIFORNIA HIMSELF.
662
00:41:21,067 --> 00:41:25,166
WITH, UM, 16 DAYS LEFT,
BEFORE SHE WAS TO HANG.
663
00:41:25,167 --> 00:41:27,766
THE GOVERNOR COMMUTED
HER SENTENCE TO LIFE IN PRISON.
664
00:41:27,767 --> 00:41:32,432
* DAYLIGHT SEEMS FULL OF CLOUDS
AND RAIN *
665
00:41:32,433 --> 00:41:37,266
IT WAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE
TURNABOUT YOU EVER DID SEE.
666
00:41:37,267 --> 00:41:40,899
THE SAME PRESS THAT CALLED
HER THE SPHINX WOMAN,
667
00:41:40,900 --> 00:41:43,066
NOW LED BY AGGIE UNDERWOOD,
668
00:41:43,067 --> 00:41:45,833
HAD TURNED INTO ADVOCATES
FOR NELLIE.
669
00:41:47,967 --> 00:41:50,932
OTHER WOMEN HAD KILLED
THEIR HUSBANDS BEFORE HER
670
00:41:50,933 --> 00:41:53,499
AND ONLY BEEN GIVEN LIFE
IN PRISON.
671
00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:56,932
IT MADE ME WONDER WHY
THEY HAD BEEN SO KEEN
672
00:41:56,933 --> 00:42:00,566
THAT SHE BE THE ONE
TO GET THE DEATH PENALTY.
673
00:42:00,567 --> 00:42:02,499
AGGIE UNDERWOOD WROTE THAT SHE
THOUGHT THAT NELLIE
674
00:42:02,500 --> 00:42:03,832
RECEIVED THE DEATH SENTENCE
675
00:42:03,833 --> 00:42:05,666
BECAUSE SHE HAD BEEN
MARRIED SO MANY TIMES
676
00:42:05,667 --> 00:42:07,866
AND HAD NO CHILDREN.
677
00:42:07,867 --> 00:42:10,400
**
678
00:42:14,833 --> 00:42:17,166
SEVEN YEARS
AFTER SHE'S BEEN CONVICTED,
679
00:42:17,167 --> 00:42:20,466
SHE'S ACTUALLY PAROLED.
680
00:42:20,467 --> 00:42:23,299
NELLIE GOT OUT IN THE MIDDLE
OF WORLD WAR II.
681
00:42:23,300 --> 00:42:25,632
AND, IN AT LEAST ONE WAY,
682
00:42:25,633 --> 00:42:28,532
THE WORLD HAD CAUGHT UP
WITH HER 'CAUSE ONE THING
683
00:42:28,533 --> 00:42:32,099
SHE'D ALWAYS BEEN GOOD AT,
