All language subtitles for Married With Secrets s01e08 The Mastermind

For the first time in a long time, 41
-year -old hairdresser Ann Smith feels

secure.

I'm just so tired of worrying all the
time.

Oh, honey, you're safe, okay?

I still don't know where you are but me.

Thank God.

Ann felt like she was being stalked.
Someone was following her.

God, I feel like I'm going crazy.

But she's not paranoid.

Deep down, Ann knows the truth.

She's in grave danger.

And then I got this phone call.

And all of a sudden, the entire house
lit up like daylight.

Maybe it was the wrong call. I don't
know, but I don't know. Oh, my God. I'm

going to get down. I'm going to get
down. What? Oh, my God. What?

I knew it. No, no, no. Please get down.
Please get down.

The sun is setting over Los Angeles, and
32 -year -old traffic cop Bill Leisure

is relieved to call it a day.

Bill was born in Michigan. He served in
the Marine Corps in Vietnam.

He was discharged from the military, and
at that time the Los Angeles Police

Department was recruiting, and he
thought it would be nice to move to a

climate. All righty.

10 -4 -2, Officer Leisure, Officer
Harrington, and six citations. No, two.

Two citations today.

Where'd I get six from? Not on your
watch.

Right.

When I transferred to Central Traffic
Division, we were paired together. We

some common interests, and we hit it off
right away.

Hey, I got tickets to the Dodgers game
on Saturday. You in? Yeah, definitely.

Hey, you should stop by my place first
and check out the new vet I'm fixing up.

Yeah, cool. All right, that's perfect.

While Bill often looks the other way
when it comes to tickets, he's not so

forgiving with his co -workers.

Most officers were male, so it was a
substantially different period in law

enforcement then.

I got one.

Oh, Bill, you're like this.

Why do women have legs?

I don't know why.

so they can get from the bedroom to the
kitchen.

Oh, Bill, it's just a joke for crying
out loud, buddy.

Bill was not only shy, but sometimes he
would get embarrassed.

Despite his disposition, Bill does seem
to have a way with the ladies.

Thank you. Can I see your license and
registration, please? Of course.

Bill could be very sympathetic to
ladies.

Therefore, they found him charming,
almost like a father figure.

Well, hey, slow down, all right? All
right, take care. Have a good day.

Bye.

You just couldn't do it, could you?

She's new in town. I cut her a break.

All units, please respond. We've got a 2
-1 -1 in progress at Wilshire. Should

we get that? We're really close.

Nah, I'm kind of hungry.

Let's go to lunch.

That's lunch. Okay, we'll go to lunch.

Bill didn't ever like violence, never
drew his gun, never wanted to get in an

altercation. He got a nickname of Mild
Bill.

Bill's hours were very flexible. He
could do what he wanted. He could

for hours at a time, and nobody really
noticed.

Bill often spent his days just driving
around the city, fantasizing about fancy

cars, sleek boats, and retiring on his
own private island.

Bill had big dreams of having a lot
without having to work for it.

Life is good for the mild -mannered cop.

And it's about to get even better.

Terry Chen is parked at the side of the
road. She starts screaming, help me,

help me, and she flags down Bill's
patrol car.

Officer. Hi there. What seems to be the
problem? Can you please help me?

I don't know. My car won't start.

Okay, well, let me have a look. Thank
you.

Lucky for you, I know a lot about cars.
Oh, my God.

Thank God.

I don't know.

What's your name, sweetie?

Terry. Terry, I'm Bill.

Hi.

Okay. Can you tell?

Yeah, I think.

Oh, yeah. There it is.

There it is.

Simple little fix. Yeah? Why don't you
hop in the car? Okay. And I'll tell you

when to start it. Okay.

Okay. Okay, try it now.

Okay.

Here we go.

Oh, my God.

Was that it?

That's it.

Oh, my God. Told you, simple fix.

And I just need you to write down your
information before you go.

Really? Yeah, just a matter of routine.

Oh.

Okay.

Terry's only 18 years old, and she's
naive, childlike, and Bill comes and

her.

And why don't you write down your phone
number, and maybe we can get together

sometime.

My phone number? Yeah.

I don't know about that.

You ever been on a boat?

No. I just bought a beautiful boat.

You did? Yeah, I'd love to show it to
you sometime.

Okay. Great.

Sure. Great.

Terry sees in Bill a very kind person,
and that's why I think she fell under

Bill's spell.

Here you go.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Okay. Okay. Drive safely, Terry. Thank
you so much. Thank you. You're welcome.

Have a good day. Terry's never been on a
date before, so when Bill asks her out,

she thinks she's really met the man of
her dreams.

Yeah, what do you think?

Careful,

hold on, I'll help you out, I'll help
you out, okay?

Alright, and welcome aboard.

Oh, I don't know about this.

Oh, trust me, you're going to love it.
It's just a boat.

Wow, the boat's so nice.

Oh, you go fishing?

Yeah.

Terry had never experienced...

Anything like that she immediately fell
in love with Bill. To you and your first

time on a boat? To my first time.

He felt needed. He felt like he could
impress her. He felt that he could give

her things that she had never seen
before and made him seem bigger.

There's just one problem.

Thank you. You're so nice. You're
welcome. Bill Leisure is a married man.

Bill has secrets.

Bill is leading two lives.

Leisure has successfully wooed Terry
Chen, unbeknownst to his wife of three

years, and she doesn't suffer fools
gladly.

Nancy Sherwood is a tough -as -nails Los
Angeles city attorney. Her nickname was

Straight Up Nancy because she did not
plea bargain any cases.

He's sorry?

Did I hear you right? Your client is
apologizing?

Great. Well, I'll take that apology in
15 years.

He can be out in seven if he plays nice.

But this is Sam Quentin, so I can't
promise anything.

Well, then you tell your client I will
see him in court.

Nancy had a real distaste for people who
broke the law. So when she charged

somebody, she wanted it to stick.

She didn't pull any punches.

If you were wrong, she was going to go
after you.

Bill first meets Nancy while testifying
in one of her cases.

Ooh, I like your style.

Thank you.

I really wish you hadn't seen that.

We need more attorneys like that.

Like what?

No nonsense, but with a pretty smile.

Officer Lee, is your right?

Please, Mr. Wood.

Call me Bill.

Sometimes opposites attract each other,
and I think that's what happened in this

particular case.

He charmed women. I don't know how he
did it, but he had a way.

So why do you want to see me?

Well, I want to discuss a case with you.

Maybe we can grab a bite to eat?

Sure. You buying?

Oh, I like your style.

The peculiar pairing may confound some.

But Bill and Nancy are happy in their
new life together.

In 1976, they marry and buy a large home
in the suburbs. Thank you, honey. Soon

after, Bill convinces Nancy to buy a
boat.

On weekends, they like to go out on the
boat, sailing and having a good time.

Bill was a well -kept man.

He had his salary combined with Nancy's,
and that allowed him his toys.

This is a life, isn't it?

Now we just need that private island to
sail off to.

That would be perfect.

Bill loved sharing the good life with
his friends, including his boating

Robert Koons.

I wish you'd come aboard.

Robert taught leisure the boating world.
He went on several long -range trips

with him until Bill became an
accomplished seaman. Just out. Take it

in, I don't know, two hours? You think?
How are you? Hi.

Are we going to see some dolphins?

Saw some last weekend, so let's keep our
eyes peeled here. Let's get going. All

right. Would you bring in the bow line
for me, honey?

That's the one I want to talk to you
about.

Yeah? What's that?

Rob's job was actually sailing boats up
and down the coast of California for the

owners. They had time maybe to sail them
up, but they didn't have time to sail

them back. And so Bill would crew for
him.

I found out maybe a year down the line,
Rob had... been in prison for several

years for bank robbery.

And I told Bill, you know, you're
friends with a known felon. Bill said,

but he's passed all that. He's left it
behind. He's a straight and narrow guy.

And I said, well, I go, that's fine, you
know, but, you know, if he's around, I

don't want to be around.

Hey, man, so I got a proposition for
you.

Yeah, what do you got?

Great money, low risk.

I need somebody that knows the way
around a boat.

You're going to get me out on the water.
I'm in.

Let me just check with Nancy.

Wait a minute. You've got to check with
Nancy and everything?

No. I'm in. I'm in.

Tell me more.

Make it happen.

All right.

Three years pass, and Nancy and Bill
lead an enviable life by most standards.

Nancy remains in the dark about Bill's
new girlfriend.

Love you. Love you, too.

At first, Bill puts on a good front for
his friends, Art and Ann Smith.

Oh, there's Art. Hey, Art.

Hey. Hey, kids, how's it going tonight?

Hi.

How you doing? Good.

Art was doing some insurance work on a
case that Bill Leisure was involved in,

and they became friends.

Bill is very impressed with Art because
he was a successful businessman.

Art's wife, Ann, doesn't need to work,
but helps out when she can at her

mother's Eastside Beauty Salon. Ann was
thin, tall, pretty.

When she walked into a room, everybody
noticed her.

She was like Art's trophy wife, I guess
you would say.

How are things going at the salon?

Oh, they're good.

She's good.

So when can you come in and visit me? I
can come in on Wednesday. Oh, you can.

You have the time. I do. Just a couple
hours. All right. What I want to do for

you is maybe a little bit of lightning.
What do you say?

Yes. I do need a change.

Bill couldn't be happier.

He thinks he's the ultimate multitasker.

Until his unsuspecting mistress drops a
bombshell on him.

Terry, I'm here.

Hey, didn't you hear me knocking?

I had the funniest day today. I pulled
this guy over, and you're never going to

believe what he... Terry?

Terry?

Terry, what is it?

I'm pregnant.

Surprise!

I'm pregnant!

Oh, my God. We're going to have a baby.

Wow. We're going to have a baby. That's
amazing.

Oh, my God.

A little baby.

Marry me.

What are you doing?

Marry me.

Really? I love you, and I want to start
a family with you.

Are you serious?

Yeah, marry me.

Okay, yes. Yes? Yes. Okay.

Bill is excited.

He says, I want to have a family with
you.

I want to spend my life with you. I want
to marry you.

Oh!

Bill!

Bill, what are you doing?

I'm taking you to celebrate.

I should get going. It's getting late.

Are you sure?

Yeah. I gotta let you get some rest
anyway.

You can stay if you want.

I know, but I have the early shift
tomorrow and you need to get some rest.

Especially in your condition.

Okay.

Bill lied to her all the time. And her
being young, she was rather gullible. He

was able to fool her.

Another late shift.

I was about to call the station.

Well. I'm here now, so go to sleep.

With a secret engagement and a baby on
the way, seems Bill is at a crossroads.

But that doesn't stop him from parading
Terry around town.

Hey. All right.

Hey. Hey, good to see you. You too, Ann.
Have a seat. Well, this is Terry.

Hi. Lovely to meet you both. Nice to
meet you too.

So what's going on? Can I get you
drinks?

You know, we're going to get the same
setup right here.

Bourbon and... Oh, none for me, thank
you. Oh, come on, honey.

I'm sorry, are you expecting?

We weren't going to say anything just
yet, but Bill said you guys were such

friends and... I'm sorry, excuse me.

I'll be right back. Yeah.

Ann.

I'm going to call Nancy right now. This
is just wrong.

Look, me and Bill got business going.

I don't need you to mess anything up.

This just makes me really uncomfortable.

Look, I need you to get back to that
table now and let it go.

Fine.

As the weeks go by, Bill realizes
there's no way he can juggle two women

baby. I'm not really sure what he was
thinking. He wasn't going to leave Nancy

because she was the cash cow.

Terry, home?

Bill, hi, come in.

Look, I found all of these dresses.
Don't you think they're beautiful?

The perfect church.

I can't do this.

Look, you're going to look so handsome
in your police uniform.

No, no, I'm not ready for any of this,
okay?

You can't have this baby.

What do you mean?

You need to have an abortion as soon as
possible.

Bill, this is our baby. Just do it.

Basically, he just says, you're on your
own if you don't have the abortion.

So what is she going to do? She has no
money. She's young.

She can't take care of herself and a
baby.

So she has the abortion, and she does
not leave Bill. She decides to stick it

out. Don't call me until it's done.

Bill!

Just when Bill thinks he's regained
control of his complicated life, tragedy

strikes.

Honey? What's wrong?

It's Anne.

What is it?

She's been murdered.

What?

What's wrong?

It's Anne.

What is it?

She's been murdered.

What?

Oh, my God.

When? Where?

I got the call about an hour ago.

At the salon.

Okay.

I'm going to go over there, all right?
Are you going to be okay here?

Okay? Stay right here. Stay right here.
Don't go anywhere.

All right? I'll call you. All right?

It's shocking news.

Earlier that day, Bill and Nancy's
friend, Ann Smith, is seeing her first

of the day at the beauty salon.

When the unthinkable happens.

That Tom Selleck is so handy. I know.

Speaking of, how's your husband?

Listen up! This is a robbery.

I'm here for one thing.

It's money.

Where is it?

The cash register.

Don't mess with me. Where's the real
cash?

Let's get up. Go. Get it. Go.

Go. Get back to work.

Get back.

This man came in through the front door
and told Ann it was a robbery.

She didn't fight with him. She gave him
what money she had in her purse, and he

pulled her to the back door. Open it.

Get on your knees.

Get on your knees.

The perpetrator of the murder got
nervous while robbing Ann and got her.

The crime happened in front of Ann's
mother, Dolores,

and she was crushed.

Art Smith is very emotionally upset
about the death of his

wife.

Detectives Neil Westbrook and Nelson
Crowe are assigned to the case.

Wow.

It looks like one gunshot wound to the
back.

Cleared through.

Pretty much point blank.

Certain things just aren't adding up.

This was a small family -run business.
It's not the type of place that is

classically robbed at gunpoint.

I mean, why would you rob a beauty salon
first thing in the morning?

Even the work you know is way to the end
of the day when the cash register's

full.

You're right.

Dolores even said there's only $7 in the
cash box. That's all he walked out

with.

I mean, this wasn't a robbery at all.

Maybe somebody wanted Ann dead.

Let's talk to them out here.

Yeah.

Ann's mother can't remember much.

Dolores was in a state of shock.

I've never seen her so distraught.

Can you tell me what the fellow looked
like?

He was about 5 '10". I think he was
about 160 pounds.

I don't know.

Dolores provides a partial description
to the detective that he's short, he's

disheveled, he's wearing a ball cap.

Promise me you'll catch him. You can
count on it.

With no suspects in sight, detectives
speak with Ann's sister -in -law,

Nicoletta Pontrelli.

How long had you known each other?

Oh, about ten years.

Ann was a good person.

She was having problems with her
husband, Art.

Ann's family started pointing the finger
at Art Smith.

Ann wanted to leave Art because her life
was pure hell. He was very controlling.

He needed to know where she was every
second of her life, and she was

She had asked him for a divorce just
last month.

It was on their sixth wedding
anniversary.

In fact, they were supposed to go to a
divorce hearing the day after she was

killed.

Is that so?

Ann discovered that Art had a condo.

Hidden money. He was almost leading
another life.

I really never liked Art, and he and I
had words many, many times.

They were fighting all of the time.

But just two weeks ago, she was here in
my house, hiding from him.

Maybe it was the wrong call.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

The next morning, there was a business
card on the door, and it was Art Smith

Insurance Agency.

And the back of it had a note that said,
thank you for taking such good care of

my wife, Art Smith.

The stories are enough for police to go
at Art.

But on Bill and Nancy's advice, he
lawyers up. She was my wife.

Listen, they have to talk to you because
you're the husband.

It's just standard procedure.

Look, I've got an attorney.

I'll give you his number, and as soon as
we're done here, you can give him a

call. And I'm working with the
detective's art. We're going to find the

we're going to make sure he pays.

All right, thank you.

Bill and Nancy promise justice for Ann,
and it appears that's exactly what's

about to be served.

A young woman named Judy Persico comes
into the station with a stunning claim.

I know about that girl from the paper,
the one that was murdered, Ann Smith.

I know who shot her.

You do?

Mm -hmm. It was my husband, Charles
Persico. He did it.

Charles Persico was a drug addict. He
had a history of theft and drug -related

crimes.

Looks like everyone's suspicions about
Art have been wrong this whole time.

The detectives thought this was a strong
lead, and they focused directly on

Persico, tossing everything else aside.

Mr. Persico did speak with the police,
but he could not provide his

He said he was high and couldn't recall
where he'd been.

To everyone's surprise, the heroin
addict pleads guilty to manslaughter.

Persico is sentenced to three years in
prison. It's a closed case.

Over the next few years, Bill takes
stock of his life. He pulls away from

mistress, Terry, and spends more time
with pal Robert Coons.

But for Bill, the trouble is just
getting started.

Six years after his friend Ann Smith is
shot, Bill Leisure is about to be on the

receiving end of a pistol.

This time, it's not a bad guy packing
heat.

Police are here to arrest Bill Leisure
and his friend Robert Coons.

Out of the boat!

Out of the boat!

Hands up! Okay, okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hands up!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I'm LAPD. What's the
problem? On your knees.

You're under arrest. On your knees.

Did you hear me say I'm a cop?

You're a cop?

Yeah, LAPD.

Are you aware that boat was stolen?

What?

Turns out authorities are working on a
tip about four stolen boats valued at

more than half a million dollars.

Robert Coons is a professional sailor.

And so he got to know all these boats
and where they were. Bill would help him

crew. Rob would actually scout a boat
that looked like it could be stolen, and

then they would case it out, and then
they would steal the boat.

Is it possible that one of their own is
involved in a yacht theft ring?

Why don't we just go over it one more
time?

We started in San Diego, we stopped in
Long Beach, and then we spent a few days

in Catalina.

Got it?

Yeah, well, we checked all those places,
and none of it adds up with our

timeline.

I don't know what to tell you.

I'm a cop. My wife works for the
district attorney in L .A.

Bill can't sweet -talk his way out of
this one and is charged with seven

of grand theft.

I just couldn't believe it. It was
just...

In fact, nobody could believe it at the
station because that just didn't seem

like his character.

I'm not saying another word until my
wife gets here.

Okay.

I'm sure Nancy was devastated, but she
said it was all a bunch of trumped -up

charges and it was ridiculous.

Nancy trusts her husband.

Well, nobody's telling me anything. I
don't even know what I'm doing. Look at

this. I didn't do anything wrong.

You believe me, don't you? Of course I
do.

This is just such a mess.

I know.

I love you.

I love you, too.

His wife was very supportive and felt
that he was duped, that he didn't know

these items were stolen, that he was not
guilty of doing anything.

Her trust is about to be tested.

A former felon named Dennis France comes
forward.

In exchange for immunity, he'll tell
them an outrageous secret.

Today's your lucky day.

Is it?

It is. In fact, I talked to the DA and
we got a deal.

The decision was made to go ahead and
give him immunity, feeling that he was

small fish.

Tell me what you know.

I got some dirt on your boy, Bill
Leisure. What kind of dirt?

You have no idea what he's into.

How do you even know?

Bill.

Me and my Bill go way back.

The dots, years ago.

No one could have ever foreseen what was
going to come out of Dennis Ramps'

mouth. Okay, Dennis.

Say it.

Killed two people for Bill.

The DA is stunned.

This is not what he was expecting.

Come on, Dennis.

Come on, Dennis, you expect me to
believe that? Look, I don't care what

believe. It makes no difference to me.

You asked for the truth, and I gave it
to you.

It just shocked everybody on the
department. It was just something nobody

believe. It was overwhelming. They had
to step back and take a breath.

Theft is one thing, but double homicide?

The investigation is so massive, an
entire floor downtown is dedicated to

cause. It becomes known as the Leisure
Room.

It was the biggest thing to ever hit the
police department.

France claims Leisure arranged a hit on
40 -year -old jazz singer Tony De Los

Reyes, allegedly to help a friend
inherit Reyes' family's tortilla

You looking for work, Dennis?

Well, you know what, Bill? Work's kind
of slow right now.

I might have something for you.

Got a friend.

Needs some help taking out the trash.

Well, there's no shame in waste
management, is there?

Nope.

Meet me Tuesday at midnight.

Keys and money.

Oh, man.

You don't have to do this.

Yeah.

Kind of do.

Let's go.

Get! Come on!

Dennis Rantz knew the size of the pellet
and the trajectory of the shot.

Tony's murder has gone unsolved.

She would have had the family business.

But the second murder Dennis describes
is the real shocker.

And what about the second one?

Some girl, Ann Smith, paid me $3 ,500
cash.

He wanted to make that one look like a
robbery.

Clean kill, in and out.

So I did it.

And Bill drove the car.

The police were stunned at an already
solved murder.

was being blamed on Bill Leisure.

Why would he want to kill Aunt Smith?

I don't know, but I do know it was for a
guy named Art, buddy of his.

Detective Arcee brings Smith back in,
but he's still not talking.

Art had said a drug addict had been
arrested already for the death of his

He became indignant, and then he decided
to invoke his privilege.

Investigators are going to need more
evidence to charge Arden Bill with

Just one criminal telling on another
criminal is not enough evidence. There

to be something else.

Okay, Dennis. Detective Arcee goes back
to his snitch, Dennis Frantz, and asks

him to go undercover.

Dennis was reluctant at first, but then
he became a willing participant as an

informant for us.

We put Dennis France into the visiting
area of the Los Angeles County Jail and

recorded the conversation with audio and
video.

How you doing in there?

Not bad. Not bad.

What's he doing? Is he writing?

All right, switch the camera angle. We
need it above shot. Switch the camera

above shot.

What are you doing here?

Is the most crooked cop in L .A. going
to outsmart his colleagues again?

Six years have passed since Ann Smith
was gunned

down in her mother's beauty salon in
East L .A.

Now, investigators have rigged the
county jail with a hidden camera, hoping

capture proof that Bill Leisure, was
actually the mastermind behind the

Bill Leisure had walked into the
interview with the piece of paper, and

Leisure would do is he would hold it up
against the glass.

We were in the next room with a monitor,
and we could literally see what was

being said.

What'd that say?

What are you doing here?

Just checking on you.

That's nice of you.

How's Nancy handling everything, Bill?

Well, you know, she knows it's all just
a bunch of crap.

That's real good.

You know, you're a lucky man.

Not a woman like that, Bill.

I sure am. I know.

Jesus. Melted. Got him.

Mounting the barrel of the gun,
effectively, a criminalist could not

that gun as the murder weapon. We knew
we had enough evidence to convict him of

murder.

Is that a camera?

No camera there, Bill.

Bill, there's no camera.

Leisure spotted just the tip of the
camera, and it was like a defeated

He said, I'll see you, and he left.

In May 1987, a year after his arrest for
grand theft, Officer Bill Leisure is

charged with two counts of first -degree
murder for hire for the deaths of Tony

DeLis Reyes and Ann Smith.

Art Smith is charged with first -degree
murder for arranging the murder of his

wife, Ann.

The story of L .A.'s most crooked cop
dominates the headlines.

For an active police officer to be
involved in contract murders was a huge

story. Most people were unbelieving that
it could not be true, especially with

the perceived personality of Bill
Leisure being so mild -mannered.

Bill's mistress, Terry, sees the story
in the paper.

She can't believe the love of her life
is not only married, but he's also a

thief and a murderer Terry took it
really really hard She was really

upset

Hi. Um, can I speak to the officer
that's handling Bill Leisure's case?

She calls the FBI and turns over all
paperwork.

It was the lover's scorn.

Investigators use those bank records,
which show numerous deposits from Robert

Coons to Bill Leisure, to build their
case.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Nancy learns about the affair, but
refuses to believe her husband killed

and Ann Smith.

At leisure's trial, Dennis France walks
jurors through exactly what happened,

starting with Art asking Bill to kill
his wife.

She's going to bleed me dry.

I'm going to lose everything.

I'm going to lose the house. I'm going
to lose the car. I'll be ruined.

If Anne were to have some kind of
accident,

you'd be okay with that, right?

Yeah, I would.

But can you make that happen?

Leave it to me.

Art didn't want to share his money with
Ann at all.

He would rather see her dead, and he had
said that.

This is Ann.

Make sure you take all the money from
the register.

Got it?

France had specific instructions. He
took Anne immediately to the back of the

beauty shop.

The cash register is in the back. Don't
mess with me. Where's the real cash?

Let's get up. Go. Get it.

Go. Go.

Get back to work.

Get back.

Get on your knees.

Get on your knees.

After the shots were fired, Dennis
France ran out the back.

Got into the car. Bill Leisure drove
away. Let's go, go, go!

Let's go!

Bill's first trial ends in a deadlock,
and before his second trial begins, he

takes a plea deal.

Bill basically takes an offer to reduce
the first -degree murder to second

-degree murder.

Take all the other theft stuff off the
table and plead no contest.

A lot of effort had been put into this
case, years of investigation, and it's

always nice to come out on top.

Charles Persico, who was falsely
convicted for Ann's murder, is

As for Art Smith, he's found guilty of
first -degree murder.

and sentenced to life in prison.

This was probably the most traumatic
thing that could ever happen to a

We felt vindication. That is absolute
for sure.

Why a humble traffic cop could dirty his
badge and become a contract killer

remains a mystery.

I think mild Bill is a persona that Bill
Leisure has basically nurtured.

as a way to do what he needs to do
behind the cover of darkness.

I guess you could say he was more Wild
Bill on the outside and Wild Bill on the

inside.

Bill Leisure was a thief, an adulterer,
and a murderer.

In December 1991,

Bill is given 15 to life.

Until he admits guilt and expresses
remorse, he will remain in prison.

He still has not accepted
responsibility.

So does the sentence fit the crime?
Apparently so.

He's been in prison for 24 years.

He could have gotten out 20 years ago.

Control door two.

Bill Leisure is guilty as far as I'm
concerned.

Bill caused a lot of people heartache.

So he's where he should be right now.

To those who worked on the case.

Bill committed the ultimate crime,
violating his oath as a police officer

betraying the public's trust.

There's a saying in homicide that you
walk in the shoes of the dead person.

And that's what we did. We, as
detectives, represented those victims.

And Bill, one day, will have to meet his
maker.
