1
00:01:28,430 --> 00:01:29,430
um

2
00:02:12,030 --> 00:02:13,650
Cold. That's how it was.

3
00:02:14,530 --> 00:02:15,530
Cold and wet.

4
00:02:15,870 --> 00:02:19,290
You know, why anybody would want to be
president and live in Washington, D .C.

5
00:02:19,330 --> 00:02:20,730
for four years is beyond me.

6
00:02:21,670 --> 00:02:25,750
And they say it's a cross between a
liberal and a conservative. I heard

7
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:28,110
calling me a libra -con. A libra -con?

8
00:02:28,350 --> 00:02:29,490
How do you spell loser?

9
00:02:30,710 --> 00:02:32,510
Yeah. Listen, I'll see you Tuesday.

10
00:02:32,770 --> 00:02:33,770
Oh, that'll be fine. All right.

11
00:02:34,110 --> 00:02:35,110
I'll see you then.

12
00:02:36,780 --> 00:02:41,380
The police chief's on line one. The town
engineer, Lorne Brinkman, he's on two.

13
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,500
And there's a John Smith on three. He
says he's returning your call.

14
00:02:46,380 --> 00:02:49,380
Well, tell the chief and Mr. Brinkman
I'll be right with him.

15
00:02:53,140 --> 00:02:54,140
Mr.

16
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,480
Mayor.

17
00:02:56,660 --> 00:02:57,840
When did you get back in town?

18
00:02:58,780 --> 00:02:59,638
Just now.

19
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:00,640
Got anything?

20
00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:02,440
Yeah, but not much.

21
00:03:03,220 --> 00:03:06,240
You know the Shunley Cafe at 8th and Lee
in Atlanta?

22
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,760
Yeah. Meet me there tomorrow afternoon
at 3 o 'clock.

23
00:03:11,260 --> 00:03:12,820
But I don't have any proof.

24
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,320
Well, let's talk anyway.

25
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,280
I'm telling you, Dwight, that's the
mayor of Willow Springs.

26
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,420
I saw his picture in the paper. He just
got back from Washington.

27
00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:10,080
Isn't it wonderful, honey?

28
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,840
He's just like plain folks, and I like
that.

29
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,400
Dwight, get your camera.

30
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:16,980
Oh, Mona.

31
00:04:17,980 --> 00:04:18,980
Honey, come on.

32
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:21,120
Okay.

33
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,380
He was caught right there at the scene,
Arthur. His rifle, his bullets, his

34
00:05:57,380 --> 00:05:59,860
fingerprints. Hell, he even confessed.

35
00:06:00,140 --> 00:06:03,120
What more do you want? The man who paid
him to pull the trigger. That's what I

36
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,700
want. Somebody paid him 25 grand like he
claims. What happened to it? It wasn't

37
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:08,180
in his car. It wasn't in his apartment.

38
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,000
It wasn't in his bank. I think somebody
stole it back from him. I think

39
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,780
somebody's trying to make it look like
this man acted alone when in fact it was

40
00:06:14,780 --> 00:06:15,479
a conspiracy.

41
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:16,480
Damn it, Arthur.

42
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,960
This commission was convened three weeks
ago. We've all assembled in this room.

43
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,120
four hours a day, five days a week. We
brought in Detective Bob Brooks from the

44
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,660
Atlanta PD to conduct an independent
investigation.

45
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,500
We've all heard the same testimony.
We've gone over the same evidence.

46
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,920
You, me, the police chief there,
Director of St. Luke's Hospital, the

47
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,800
the League of American Voters. We all
know this. Then why are you the only one

48
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,760
who believes this cockamamie conspiracy
thing? Yes, I do. Jay Reynolds was a

49
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,340
disgruntled ex -city employee who
believed it was the mayor's fault he was

50
00:06:48,340 --> 00:06:50,980
fired. First he sent him letters, then
he shot him.

51
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:54,820
We found the typewriter he used right
there in his room. How did he know that

52
00:06:54,820 --> 00:06:57,480
the mayor was going to be at the Shunley
Cafe that day? He was stalking him.

53
00:06:57,820 --> 00:07:01,640
We've established that it would have
taken Jay Reynolds at least two minutes

54
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,780
get up to the roof to assemble that
rifle. Yes, Arthur, but you can't deny

55
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,760
Well, why is it then that everyone who
was at the cafe that day says the mayor

56
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,860
was there for less than one minute?
Arthur. No, wait a minute. But if

57
00:07:12,860 --> 00:07:16,960
had tipped off Jay Reynolds, which is
what the man contends, he would have

58
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:17,960
up there waiting.

59
00:07:18,450 --> 00:07:21,710
Maybe everybody in that cafe was just
plain wrong.

60
00:07:22,010 --> 00:07:25,470
Maybe Jay Reynolds overheard the mayor
telling somebody where he was going.

61
00:07:25,530 --> 00:07:29,530
Maybe a hundred other things. Why are
you so eager to believe the rantings and

62
00:07:29,530 --> 00:07:30,890
ravings of a confessed killer?

63
00:07:31,490 --> 00:07:35,630
Because I am not sure, Leo, that justice
is being served. That's why.

64
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,280
My client's in Denver.

65
00:07:53,060 --> 00:07:55,940
He went there on an emergency and got
snowed in.

66
00:07:56,260 --> 00:07:59,620
This is the third time in eight days,
no? He went there on business.

67
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,800
What's he to do, Your Honor?

68
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,240
We'd like another continuance.

69
00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:07,900
No.

70
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,320
Excuse me?

71
00:08:10,430 --> 00:08:14,190
I'm not going to grant your continuance
and I'm going to charge your client with

72
00:08:14,190 --> 00:08:18,330
failure to appear and I'm going to issue
a no bail bench warrant for his arrest

73
00:08:18,330 --> 00:08:22,070
so that the next time he shows his face
in this jurisdiction, he will be

74
00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:27,670
arrested and incarcerated and his trial
will begin forthwith. Thank you. You

75
00:08:27,670 --> 00:08:31,630
can't do that. I know this is just
Willis Springs, Mr. Matlock, but I

76
00:08:31,630 --> 00:08:33,789
that you don't tell me what I can and
cannot do.

77
00:08:34,010 --> 00:08:35,250
I'm not in the mood.

78
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,020
That is the dumbest, most pig -headed
ruling I ever heard of. Call me pig

79
00:08:40,020 --> 00:08:43,640
-headed and dumb. That's what I called
your ruling. Bailiff, I hope you don't

80
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,220
have a lot of plans for tonight because
you, sir, are going to be invited to a

81
00:08:48,220 --> 00:08:52,580
slumber. Oh, no, Judge. Give me a break.
Give me a break. I got somebody coming

82
00:08:52,580 --> 00:08:56,380
down that I haven't seen in a long time.
Pig -headed and dumb, huh? Yeah, yeah,

83
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,720
yeah. No, pig -headed. Pig -headed,
dumb.

84
00:08:59,460 --> 00:09:02,540
Pig -dumb -headed. Pig -headed. Get your
dog out of my arms.

85
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,220
I was hoping to surprise you.

86
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:07,100
It's been a rotten day.

87
00:10:08,380 --> 00:10:09,560
You want to talk about it?

88
00:10:10,660 --> 00:10:11,660
No,

89
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:12,980
I think I'd rather do this.

90
00:10:43,340 --> 00:10:44,339
Judge Eller?

91
00:10:44,340 --> 00:10:46,860
Yeah? Sir, we have a warrant for your
arrest.

92
00:10:47,580 --> 00:10:48,580
What charge?

93
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,080
Attempted sexual assault.

94
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,300
I'm sorry, sir. Step outside, please.

95
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,280
Hi, Dad.

96
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,040
Hi.

97
00:11:32,380 --> 00:11:34,140
You know, this could get me on Donahue.

98
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,180
That's not funny, Leanne.

99
00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:40,480
Doing a hard time in the big house has
just ruined your sense of humor.

100
00:11:44,680 --> 00:11:46,820
Which says you call a jackass this time?

101
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,200
I didn't exactly call him a jackass. I
just... Lost your temper.

102
00:11:52,450 --> 00:11:53,990
Well, he is a jackass.

103
00:11:55,350 --> 00:11:59,330
I don't want to get in. You shouldn't
call him a jackass. I didn't.

104
00:12:03,010 --> 00:12:06,990
I bet you've spent more time in jail for
contempt than most of your clients have

105
00:12:06,990 --> 00:12:07,990
for murder.

106
00:12:08,070 --> 00:12:11,790
Why'd you let her in here? I used to
work here, Dad. Some people still know

107
00:12:13,610 --> 00:12:15,050
And they were happy to see me.

108
00:12:18,250 --> 00:12:19,250
Well...

109
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:28,120
And I'm happy to be here.

110
00:12:29,660 --> 00:12:30,660
Dad.

111
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:49,520
Wow.

112
00:12:50,580 --> 00:12:51,700
You look great.

113
00:12:52,340 --> 00:12:53,340
Healthy.

114
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:55,680
You too.

115
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,200
How's your husband?

116
00:13:00,140 --> 00:13:04,300
Busy, and I'm not, so I thought I'd come
home for a few days and visit you.

117
00:13:05,620 --> 00:13:08,540
That's good.

118
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,320
Really good?

119
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,180
Yeah, yeah.

120
00:13:17,660 --> 00:13:24,260
I'll get out tomorrow at 8, and I'll
take you to Brennan's for breakfast.

121
00:13:24,260 --> 00:13:27,000
have corn cakes and sausage and stuff.

122
00:13:28,300 --> 00:13:29,300
I'll pick you up at eight.

123
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:32,900
Keep an eye on him, Frank.

124
00:13:33,340 --> 00:13:34,340
He looks dangerous.

125
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,320
What's this all about?

126
00:13:55,460 --> 00:13:58,040
It's a party to welcome you home from
jail.

127
00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,540
And to meet you.

128
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,840
How are you? I'm so... Leanne McIntyre.
Leanne, hi.

129
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,360
I'm Julie.

130
00:14:06,540 --> 00:14:08,140
Hi, Julie. Leanne. Hi.

131
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,760
Well, it's nice to meet all of you. It's
nice to meet you, too.

132
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,380
Ben hasn't told us a lot about you.

133
00:14:17,740 --> 00:14:18,740
He hasn't?

134
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,860
Well, we know you're his daughter.

135
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,820
And you're married, and you're a lawyer,
and you're sure pretty.

136
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,640
Thank you. Yeah, like I was saying,
there's nothing like a pretty girl.

137
00:14:33,780 --> 00:14:35,720
So, Leanne, do you have any children?

138
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,920
No, I don't. Oh, that's too bad.

139
00:14:46,420 --> 00:14:50,380
Well, come on, everybody. It's time to
risk your lives.

140
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,120
I've baked breakfast.

141
00:14:53,860 --> 00:14:55,860
I don't think I can eat anything.

142
00:14:56,460 --> 00:14:59,020
I've had corn cakes and eggs and bacon.

143
00:14:59,300 --> 00:15:00,500
I just hate that.

144
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:04,000
You don't have children? Oh, what a
shame.

145
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,740
When are you going to have one?

146
00:15:06,740 --> 00:15:07,740
When are you?

147
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:09,960
Dad.

148
00:15:10,340 --> 00:15:12,180
Oh, nothing's changed.

149
00:15:13,180 --> 00:15:14,320
Don't get mad at me.

150
00:15:14,540 --> 00:15:20,020
I won't. It's just that things like
babies are personal and should remain

151
00:15:20,020 --> 00:15:21,120
that. Personal.

152
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:23,880
Yeah.

153
00:15:24,900 --> 00:15:26,740
I'm gonna look around the old house.

154
00:15:28,260 --> 00:15:29,280
Nothing's changed.

155
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,500
Haven't heard what happened to Judge
Eller, have you?

156
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:36,100
No. Got arrested last night.

157
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,160
What? What? Some woman accused him of
assaulting her.

158
00:15:40,860 --> 00:15:42,020
He hit a woman?

159
00:15:42,860 --> 00:15:43,860
Assault.

160
00:15:46,260 --> 00:15:47,260
Rape?

161
00:15:51,630 --> 00:15:56,290
He's a known womanizer, but jackass went
too far that time, didn't he?

162
00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:58,350
Oh.

163
00:16:08,970 --> 00:16:10,150
So you're Leanne.

164
00:16:10,510 --> 00:16:11,530
Yep, I'm Leanne.

165
00:16:12,170 --> 00:16:13,550
And you're... Les.

166
00:16:14,490 --> 00:16:16,210
Coffee? Just a tad.

167
00:16:17,170 --> 00:16:18,370
Not too much now.

168
00:16:18,670 --> 00:16:20,330
We've got to take care of the old bod.

169
00:16:22,380 --> 00:16:23,860
So you're a married lady.

170
00:16:24,100 --> 00:16:25,100
That's right.

171
00:16:25,380 --> 00:16:26,720
You like it? You happy?

172
00:16:27,660 --> 00:16:28,660
Well, yeah.

173
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:30,800
Ups and downs, you know.

174
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,180
Oh, I know ups and downs. I was married
once.

175
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:36,340
She's gone now.

176
00:16:37,660 --> 00:16:38,660
Oh, I'm sorry.

177
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:39,900
Oh, she didn't die.

178
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,020
She ran off with a drummer from Ohio.

179
00:16:42,620 --> 00:16:47,760
Oh. He sold hats and scarves and
overshoes and stuff like that.

180
00:16:48,380 --> 00:16:49,380
Interesting.

181
00:16:49,740 --> 00:16:51,140
So you, uh...

182
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:52,700
You don't have any children.

183
00:16:54,780 --> 00:16:56,120
No, lass, I don't.

184
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:57,580
Well, that's a shame.

185
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,580
Someone to carry on, look after you.

186
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,880
You know, Ben never talked about you
much.

187
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,160
Well, maybe he didn't have anything to
say.

188
00:17:07,819 --> 00:17:08,819
Well, maybe not.

189
00:17:09,859 --> 00:17:13,180
You know, you ought to spend more time
with him. And you ought to give him a

190
00:17:13,180 --> 00:17:15,079
grandchild. A man needs that.

191
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:16,780
Yes, I suppose so.

192
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,099
Do you have children and grandchildren,
lass?

193
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,859
No. The wife left.

194
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,000
With that drummer who sold hats and
scarves and overshoes and stuff. Do you

195
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:27,679
date, Les?

196
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:28,760
Me? Oh, sure.

197
00:17:29,140 --> 00:17:31,780
I'm out there among them. Two, three
nights a week.

198
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,040
Any regulars?

199
00:17:33,420 --> 00:17:34,760
I got a little black book.

200
00:17:35,460 --> 00:17:36,460
Lady's your own age?

201
00:17:36,940 --> 00:17:38,680
Yeah, there's this one. She's my age.

202
00:17:39,020 --> 00:17:40,020
How old is that?

203
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,220
Early 60s. Right in the prime.

204
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,480
Prime's the time.

205
00:17:44,180 --> 00:17:47,280
I don't see her that much, though.

206
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:48,520
What do you talk about?

207
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,660
All different things.

208
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:52,360
Cemetery plots.

209
00:17:53,020 --> 00:17:54,360
Do you have any younger ones?

210
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,080
Sure.

211
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,620
I got one in her 30s. 30 what?

212
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,480
Well, 30... What?

213
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,060
39. Now we're talking. What do you do
with her?

214
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,340
Well, we bowl, play ping pong, miniature
golf, all kinds of things.

215
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,480
But when it gets dark and you can't do
those things, then what do you do?

216
00:18:12,140 --> 00:18:13,620
We go back to her house.

217
00:18:13,860 --> 00:18:14,860
And?

218
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:15,880
And what?

219
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:18,920
Do you and this 39 -year -old get down
to business?

220
00:18:19,820 --> 00:18:23,060
I don't know what you're getting at,
young lady, but it's too personal. And

221
00:18:23,060 --> 00:18:24,960
just wait and see. I want to tell your
father.

222
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,640
I'm sorry about what happened yesterday.

223
00:18:37,140 --> 00:18:39,400
I was wrong. I apologize. I was out of
line.

224
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,700
The commission I'm on, it's making me
crazy.

225
00:18:45,260 --> 00:18:49,140
The way I hear it, what went around came
around. Is that right?

226
00:18:49,820 --> 00:18:51,060
I'm innocent, I swear.

227
00:18:55,220 --> 00:18:57,320
You want me to defend you?

228
00:18:59,260 --> 00:19:01,300
No way. Get out.

229
00:19:03,380 --> 00:19:05,800
This is a jackass who threw me in jail.

230
00:19:06,220 --> 00:19:09,780
Ben, I'm innocent. Just give me a
minute. Hear my side of it, please.

231
00:19:10,570 --> 00:19:15,010
The best lawyer I ever knew once told me
to put truth beyond everything else.

232
00:19:15,230 --> 00:19:17,790
He said principles before personalities.

233
00:19:19,450 --> 00:19:20,890
Did I get that right, Dad?

234
00:19:26,530 --> 00:19:27,530
Come on in.

235
00:19:35,290 --> 00:19:36,290
Jerk.

236
00:19:37,610 --> 00:19:39,590
I met her at a party two weeks ago.

237
00:19:40,449 --> 00:19:43,430
We talked. We did exchange phone
numbers, but that was it. Yeah.

238
00:19:44,070 --> 00:19:47,250
Next thing I know, the police are at the
door saying she's accusing me of having

239
00:19:47,250 --> 00:19:48,590
attacked her two nights ago.

240
00:19:49,790 --> 00:19:50,990
I never even phoned her.

241
00:19:51,430 --> 00:19:52,710
Why would she lie, Judge Eller?

242
00:19:53,770 --> 00:19:55,890
Yeah, Leanne, why would she lie?

243
00:19:57,470 --> 00:20:01,510
Leanne Matlock. Of course. That's why
you look so familiar. You used to be a

244
00:20:01,510 --> 00:20:04,930
prosecutor. Actually, my last name is
Leanne McIntyre now.

245
00:20:05,870 --> 00:20:08,030
Prosecutor in Philadelphia. Why would
she lie, Judge?

246
00:20:09,100 --> 00:20:12,280
I don't know. I don't know. Maybe she's
a fruitcake. You're not going to believe

247
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,280
what she said I did to her.

248
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:14,440
Try me.

249
00:20:15,540 --> 00:20:21,140
According to her, I invite her up to my
place for a drink, excuse myself to turn

250
00:20:21,140 --> 00:20:23,860
five minutes later, dressed like a
cowboy.

251
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,900
Then I tied her up and I attempted to
rape her.

252
00:20:27,820 --> 00:20:28,820
That's bizarre.

253
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,080
And it's a lie.

254
00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:36,400
Why are you looking at me?

255
00:20:37,230 --> 00:20:39,310
Throw me in jail, you could do anything.

256
00:20:39,750 --> 00:20:41,970
Maybe I didn't assault that woman.

257
00:20:42,810 --> 00:20:46,030
I don't know. Maybe she hates men. Maybe
she hates judges.

258
00:20:46,310 --> 00:20:49,930
I can't give you a definitive answer.
I'm not a psychiatrist.

259
00:20:51,010 --> 00:20:52,710
Psychiatrists will be our first expert
witness.

260
00:20:53,230 --> 00:20:55,470
Ours. Where were you on the night in
question?

261
00:20:56,190 --> 00:20:59,910
Well, I have a place up at Athens Lake.
I often go there right after work.

262
00:21:01,050 --> 00:21:02,050
Alone.

263
00:21:02,630 --> 00:21:04,010
Could anyone have seen you there?

264
00:21:05,090 --> 00:21:06,230
Well, not that I know of.

265
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,780
Took a walk on the beach. Somebody might
have seen me there.

266
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,880
Ben, please, will you take my case?

267
00:21:14,260 --> 00:21:15,660
When hell freezes over.

268
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:18,200
Please excuse us.

269
00:21:20,220 --> 00:21:21,220
Dad?

270
00:21:29,220 --> 00:21:30,520
Don't start up on me.

271
00:21:30,730 --> 00:21:34,230
He could have done it. He could have
done it. He put me in jail. Under the

272
00:21:34,250 --> 00:21:38,110
he's entitled to the best defense he can
find. His case has merit, Dad, and you

273
00:21:38,110 --> 00:21:41,090
know it. I don't know. The man will
womanize her.

274
00:21:41,330 --> 00:21:42,590
Well, you could give him a shot.

275
00:21:43,170 --> 00:21:47,550
All those lectures you gave me about the
law, principles before personalities.

276
00:21:48,810 --> 00:21:50,150
Dad, we could work together.

277
00:21:51,210 --> 00:21:52,730
Come on, put up or shut up.

278
00:21:54,990 --> 00:21:58,070
Do you like this guy?

279
00:21:58,390 --> 00:22:00,170
Dad, I don't even know him.

280
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,880
But what if she's setting him up?

281
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,560
Let's give it a shot.

282
00:22:05,460 --> 00:22:11,180
I don't know, Leanne. I just don't know.
My heart's not in it.

283
00:22:44,140 --> 00:22:46,020
I'm sorry, you guys. What do you think
you're doing?

284
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,240
I'm sorry, I just wondered if you
happened to be here three nights ago.

285
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,160
Wait, did the survey get lost?

286
00:22:51,580 --> 00:22:54,060
No, wait, I really need an answer.

287
00:23:06,660 --> 00:23:10,700
I met him at a party that a friend of
mine was throwing for somebody who's

288
00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:11,700
running for Congress.

289
00:23:12,770 --> 00:23:16,150
He wasn't with anybody, and neither was
I, so we talked.

290
00:23:18,150 --> 00:23:22,190
I gave him my phone number, and he gave
me his, and a couple of weeks later, he

291
00:23:22,190 --> 00:23:24,470
called me and asked me to come to his
place for a drink.

292
00:23:24,830 --> 00:23:25,830
And you went.

293
00:23:26,050 --> 00:23:27,230
Why? You barely knew the man.

294
00:23:27,810 --> 00:23:29,690
Well, he was a judge, for Pete's sake.

295
00:23:29,910 --> 00:23:32,350
I mean, how was I supposed to know he
was a pervert?

296
00:23:32,810 --> 00:23:33,810
Move to strike.

297
00:23:33,970 --> 00:23:38,030
So ordered. The jury will disregard the
witness's last remark.

298
00:23:40,010 --> 00:23:42,470
What happened when you went to Judge
Eller's house, Lydia?

299
00:23:43,870 --> 00:23:48,250
We sat and had a glass of wine and
talked for about a half hour. It was

300
00:23:48,250 --> 00:23:52,770
nice. But then he excused himself, and
when he came back a couple of minutes

301
00:23:52,770 --> 00:23:57,450
later, he was dressed up like a cowboy,
but he wasn't wearing any pants.

302
00:23:58,190 --> 00:24:01,390
I mean, he had the guns, the lasso,
everything else.

303
00:24:03,150 --> 00:24:04,450
This is very difficult.

304
00:24:06,250 --> 00:24:09,250
I know this is difficult, Miss Lewin.
What happened next?

305
00:24:10,890 --> 00:24:14,370
The next thing I knew, he had the rope
around me and was tying me up.

306
00:24:15,130 --> 00:24:19,290
And then he started to attack me. I
struggled so hard to fight him off that

307
00:24:19,290 --> 00:24:21,430
rope came loose and I managed to get
free.

308
00:24:22,570 --> 00:24:24,330
And then I kicked him where it hurts.

309
00:24:26,010 --> 00:24:28,790
I ran out to my car as fast as I could
and drove off.

310
00:24:30,670 --> 00:24:31,670
Thank you, Lydia.

311
00:24:33,610 --> 00:24:34,890
No further questions, Your Honor.

312
00:24:35,290 --> 00:24:36,290
Miss Matlock?

313
00:24:36,950 --> 00:24:39,370
Just one question, Miss Lewin.

314
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,760
The events you just described, when
exactly did they take place?

315
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,520
On April 3rd at around 9 in the evening.

316
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,440
Thank you.

317
00:24:49,820 --> 00:24:50,840
Prosecution rests, Your Honor.

318
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:52,240
You may step down.

319
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,740
Mr. Matlock, you may call your first
witness.

320
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:58,940
Defense calls Mr.

321
00:24:59,140 --> 00:25:00,460
Edward Price to the stand.

322
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,360
Where were you? between 9 and 10 the
evening of April the 3rd, Eddie.

323
00:25:12,620 --> 00:25:13,740
I was at Athens Lake.

324
00:25:14,500 --> 00:25:15,500
Doing what?

325
00:25:17,100 --> 00:25:18,960
Me and my girl were in my car.

326
00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:22,160
Well, you know, making out.

327
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:29,900
Did you see anybody at the lake that
night that you see in the courtroom

328
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:31,360
I saw him.

329
00:25:32,460 --> 00:25:35,940
Let the record show that the witness is
pointing to the defendant.

330
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,640
You sure you saw?

331
00:25:38,060 --> 00:25:41,440
Judge Eller? He was walking on the
beach. There was a full moon out, so I

332
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:42,440
see his face real good.

333
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,400
I knew who he was because he's a friend
of my girlfriend's father.

334
00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:51,140
How long does it take to drive from
Willow Springs to Athens Lake?

335
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,040
About two hours.

336
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:59,180
So if a person left Willow Springs at 9
o 'clock, there's no way to get to

337
00:25:59,180 --> 00:26:01,320
Athens Lake by 10. No way.

338
00:26:01,860 --> 00:26:06,020
You sure you didn't see Judge Eller
around 11 o 'clock that night?

339
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,240
Positive.

340
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,180
My girlfriend's got to be home by 10
.30.

341
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,800
Thank you.

342
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,000
Your Honor, may we approach?

343
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:16,600
Come forward.

344
00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:24,400
Your Honor, we have just come in to
photographic evidence that further

345
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:25,400
criminates the defendant.

346
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,080
The state would like to reopen its case
in chief.

347
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,020
My chambers, Your Honor.

348
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,240
Court's in recess.

349
00:26:41,610 --> 00:26:42,610
Where did these come from?

350
00:26:43,070 --> 00:26:45,590
They were left on my secretary's desk
about an hour ago.

351
00:26:45,970 --> 00:26:49,230
Clearly the defendant dressed precisely
the way Miss Lewin described.

352
00:26:49,630 --> 00:26:53,190
Not good enough, Counselor. If Miss
Lewin were in these pictures, that would

353
00:26:53,190 --> 00:26:56,690
another matter. But as it stands, at
best these photos show propensity.

354
00:26:57,090 --> 00:27:01,070
But because we cannot verify their
source, we therefore cannot even say

355
00:27:01,070 --> 00:27:04,330
certainty that the man they depict is in
fact Arthur Eller.

356
00:27:04,550 --> 00:27:05,489
Your Honor.

357
00:27:05,490 --> 00:27:07,430
They're inadmissible, Mr. Sadowski.

358
00:27:07,730 --> 00:27:08,730
End of discussion.

359
00:27:17,290 --> 00:27:18,850
Has the jury reached a verdict?

360
00:27:19,190 --> 00:27:20,190
We have, Your Honor.

361
00:27:20,210 --> 00:27:21,210
What is the verdict?

362
00:27:21,270 --> 00:27:24,950
We, the members of the Fulton County
Jury, find the defendant, Judge Arthur

363
00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:26,350
Eller, not guilty.

364
00:27:28,570 --> 00:27:32,690
Ladies and gentlemen, you are excused
and this court is adjourned.

365
00:27:35,070 --> 00:27:36,070
Ben.

366
00:27:36,890 --> 00:27:38,850
Thank you.

367
00:27:39,510 --> 00:27:40,930
You bribed that boy.

368
00:27:41,870 --> 00:27:44,270
Or blackmailed him. Or threatened him.

369
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,020
Somehow you got him to lie for you,
didn't you?

370
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,460
You weren't up in Athens Lake.

371
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:55,240
You were at your house that night doing
exactly what that girl said you were

372
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,240
doing.

373
00:28:16,929 --> 00:28:17,929
No.

374
00:28:18,390 --> 00:28:19,530
It's the local news.

375
00:28:20,610 --> 00:28:25,230
You're interviewing some of the people
on the Brodsky Commission. The one

376
00:28:25,230 --> 00:28:27,150
rooting, tooting cowboy friends on.

377
00:28:27,650 --> 00:28:31,610
Arthur Eller is not my friend, Dad. No
one hates what he did to that poor girl

378
00:28:31,610 --> 00:28:32,529
more than I do.

379
00:28:32,530 --> 00:28:36,310
I sure wish you hadn't talked me into
it. Dad, I got your point, okay?

380
00:28:37,330 --> 00:28:38,890
Hello? In here.

381
00:28:45,610 --> 00:28:46,750
Did I come at a bad time?

382
00:28:47,010 --> 00:28:50,750
Oh, no. We're just discussing the Eller
case. Hush. You're starting. Sit down.

383
00:28:51,030 --> 00:28:52,770
Welcome to Fulton County Forum.

384
00:28:53,250 --> 00:28:57,210
I'm Dale Lambert, and this morning I
have with me three members from the

385
00:28:57,210 --> 00:29:00,990
Commission. That's the commission formed
to investigate the assassination last

386
00:29:00,990 --> 00:29:02,150
month of Mayor Jeffries.

387
00:29:02,530 --> 00:29:06,030
On the left, I have Police Chief Colin
Young.

388
00:29:06,330 --> 00:29:10,810
In the center, Judge Arthur Eller. And
on the right, Councilman Leo Brodsky.

389
00:29:11,070 --> 00:29:14,700
Gentlemen. Thank you for taking time out
of your busy schedules to be with me

390
00:29:14,700 --> 00:29:15,700
this morning. Pleasure.

391
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:21,020
Judge Eller, that trial must have been
particularly hectic and embarrassing for

392
00:29:21,020 --> 00:29:25,880
you. Yes, but now it's over, I'm happy
to say, and I'm very grateful to the

393
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,500
people and to the legal system that
vindicated me.

394
00:29:29,220 --> 00:29:32,940
And I understand that the investigation
is still ongoing, but can you give us

395
00:29:32,940 --> 00:29:36,260
some idea of what your findings are so
far? Well, so far, everything indicates

396
00:29:36,260 --> 00:29:40,820
Jay Reynolds acted alone. I can't. Jay
Reynolds lost his job. He blamed the

397
00:29:40,820 --> 00:29:44,430
mayor. So he shot him. And what about
the other man? Because he was in the

398
00:29:44,510 --> 00:29:46,030
Well, then why did he shoot him second?
Come on.

399
00:29:47,630 --> 00:29:50,330
You're referring to the videotape. Of
course, that was shot by the tourists.

400
00:29:50,530 --> 00:29:54,530
Yes, that's right. Jay Reynolds was
paid. Oh, come on. I hate you, Arthur.

401
00:29:54,530 --> 00:29:55,930
is not one shred of evidence. Get him.

402
00:29:56,250 --> 00:30:01,390
Get him. There is not a shred of
evidence that would... And we'll see you

403
00:30:01,390 --> 00:30:02,390
next week.

404
00:30:02,950 --> 00:30:03,950
And we're clear.

405
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,980
Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you. That
certainly was a spirited show, to say

406
00:30:07,980 --> 00:30:13,100
least. You fellas were great.

407
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,140
Especially you, darling.

408
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,560
Thank you, my dear.

409
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,680
Mrs. Brodsky.

410
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,040
See you both in the hearing room at one.

411
00:30:22,700 --> 00:30:23,700
Chief Young.

412
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,240
Judge Eller.

413
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,280
right, Mr. Brodsky.

414
00:30:55,180 --> 00:30:56,180
No.

415
00:31:03,540 --> 00:31:04,960
His name is Arthur Eller.

416
00:31:07,180 --> 00:31:09,660
I don't believe this.

417
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,360
I'll send you a bill.

418
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:17,720
Are you going to be okay?

419
00:31:22,700 --> 00:31:23,700
I'm going to kill her.

420
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,160
I loved you.

421
00:31:59,780 --> 00:32:01,280
What are you doing?

422
00:32:04,980 --> 00:32:07,260
Oh, my God. What have you done?

423
00:32:20,180 --> 00:32:22,120
I'd like to report a shooting.

424
00:32:34,670 --> 00:32:35,670
Glass, what are you doing?

425
00:32:36,030 --> 00:32:40,610
Oh, hi, Ben. I'm just returning your
weed whacker. And thanks. It whacked

426
00:32:40,610 --> 00:32:42,250
charm. Oh, good. Go on in the house.

427
00:32:42,670 --> 00:32:46,690
Well, I don't want to keep you. I know
you're busy.

428
00:32:48,070 --> 00:32:51,430
Is Leanne still here?

429
00:32:51,790 --> 00:32:53,630
Yeah, she'll be here for a couple more
days.

430
00:32:53,970 --> 00:32:55,070
Oh, that's a shame.

431
00:32:55,570 --> 00:32:56,570
Why?

432
00:32:56,770 --> 00:33:01,190
Well, when I first met her, first, mind
you, she started getting nosy about my

433
00:33:01,190 --> 00:33:02,169
love life.

434
00:33:02,170 --> 00:33:03,170
She did?

435
00:33:03,750 --> 00:33:06,980
Huh. Well, maybe she was curious.

436
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,700
Maybe she heard about your history.

437
00:33:12,140 --> 00:33:13,140
Daddy?

438
00:33:13,340 --> 00:33:14,480
Yeah, well, I'll see you.

439
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:19,520
Morning, Pop.

440
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,500
Coffee ready? Right there.

441
00:33:24,940 --> 00:33:27,280
Les just left in the middle of a
conversation.

442
00:33:28,420 --> 00:33:29,540
What were you all talking about?

443
00:33:30,060 --> 00:33:31,060
I don't know.

444
00:33:31,580 --> 00:33:32,620
Something about women.

445
00:33:35,210 --> 00:33:39,690
If he wasn't 20 years too old for a
midlife crisis, I'd swear he was having

446
00:33:39,690 --> 00:33:40,690
flashes.

447
00:33:42,790 --> 00:33:45,010
Did you get on to him about women?

448
00:33:46,470 --> 00:33:49,970
Well, he got on to me about my personal
life, so I got on to him about his.

449
00:33:50,770 --> 00:33:52,330
You know all about that, don't you, Dad?

450
00:33:53,930 --> 00:33:54,930
Leanne.

451
00:34:03,530 --> 00:34:04,530
Ben Matlock?

452
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:14,840
I'll be there in a minute.

453
00:34:16,860 --> 00:34:17,860
What's up?

454
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:25,760
Are you nuts, Leo, or what?

455
00:34:26,620 --> 00:34:30,580
Well, when I saw the pictures of them
together, I just lost it. I went crazy.

456
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,820
She used to be such a nice little town.

457
00:34:35,020 --> 00:34:39,560
I know it doesn't make any sense, but I
love my wife, Ben. I didn't mean to kill

458
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:40,560
her.

459
00:34:40,820 --> 00:34:42,139
Oh, what a mess.

460
00:34:42,670 --> 00:34:43,670
What should I do?

461
00:34:45,030 --> 00:34:46,889
Oh, pray.

462
00:34:50,270 --> 00:34:51,188
Morning, Ben.

463
00:34:51,190 --> 00:34:52,190
Well,

464
00:34:53,170 --> 00:34:55,489
we dropped the charges. You're free to
go.

465
00:34:56,449 --> 00:35:00,030
What? According to the coroner, your
wife was dead before you shot her.

466
00:35:00,550 --> 00:35:01,550
Cyanide poisoning.

467
00:35:02,030 --> 00:35:07,070
Suicide? I don't know for sure yet, but
there was no note. And I found a cup

468
00:35:07,070 --> 00:35:09,970
containing traces of cyanide -laced tea
in the bedroom.

469
00:35:10,590 --> 00:35:12,790
Had Arthur Eller's fingerprints all over
it.

470
00:35:32,810 --> 00:35:33,810
Well,

471
00:35:34,450 --> 00:35:37,530
you're going to go or just sit there?

472
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,700
I'm not going to be charged with
anything?

473
00:35:41,180 --> 00:35:42,180
No.

474
00:35:42,460 --> 00:35:45,520
They'll probably fine you for defacing a
corpse.

475
00:35:47,340 --> 00:35:49,200
But I did try to kill her.

476
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,120
I know, but she was already dead.

477
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,420
I don't understand.

478
00:35:58,380 --> 00:36:04,660
It's factually an impossibility. You
can't take the life of someone if

479
00:36:04,660 --> 00:36:05,900
no life for you to take.

480
00:36:06,830 --> 00:36:11,550
No, well, I... If it were up to me, I'd
throw you out of the country. But the

481
00:36:11,550 --> 00:36:14,250
truth is, your case will be thrown out
of court.

482
00:36:14,950 --> 00:36:17,750
Now stay if you like, but I'm leaving.

483
00:36:40,370 --> 00:36:44,170
Tomato sauce? Are you making meatballs
and spaghetti?

484
00:36:44,610 --> 00:36:45,610
Special recipe.

485
00:36:45,870 --> 00:36:47,250
That is so sweet of you.

486
00:36:58,610 --> 00:36:59,610
What?

487
00:37:03,350 --> 00:37:04,790
It needed more oregano.

488
00:37:05,270 --> 00:37:06,610
No, it didn't.

489
00:37:07,310 --> 00:37:08,910
Oh, I've offended you.

490
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:10,600
You didn't offend me.

491
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,640
You know where I got this recipe?

492
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,840
Straight from the mouth of the owner of
a five -star restaurant.

493
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:21,700
I asked him, what's the secret to great
spaghetti sauce?

494
00:37:21,980 --> 00:37:22,759
You know what he said?

495
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:25,620
No, Dad, what did he say? Go easy on the
oregano.

496
00:37:40,170 --> 00:37:43,330
I need your help. Get off my porch. I
don't blame you. I lied to you. You're

497
00:37:43,330 --> 00:37:45,890
damn right you did. But I didn't kill
Ava Brodsky.

498
00:37:46,090 --> 00:37:49,210
Garbage. You were sleeping with her.
Yeah, I slept with her. But I didn't

499
00:37:49,210 --> 00:37:51,730
her. Somebody is trying to frame me. Get
out of here.

500
00:37:54,630 --> 00:37:55,630
Stay right there.

501
00:37:58,220 --> 00:38:02,040
In my opinion, there's a good chance he
didn't kill her. Oh, come on, Leanne. I

502
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,500
know, Dad. He's a womanizer and a
pervert and a liar. You got that right.

503
00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:08,900
smart liar. If he had killed her, he'd
make sure he had three alibis all

504
00:38:08,900 --> 00:38:10,560
airtight. Come on, Leanne.

505
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:12,200
You won't take his case?

506
00:38:13,940 --> 00:38:14,940
No.

507
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,780
No matter how many times you quote
things I've said.

508
00:38:18,780 --> 00:38:19,658
All right.

509
00:38:19,660 --> 00:38:20,660
That's your right.

510
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,200
Won't you come in?

511
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,000
I don't care what you say.

512
00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:42,580
You took the case for spite.

513
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,880
I did not take the case for spite. Then
why'd you take it? I don't think he did

514
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,920
it. And the worst person in the world
deserves representation.

515
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:52,800
I don't know about that.

516
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:57,100
He already lied to me. He was sleeping
with Ava Brodsky.

517
00:38:57,900 --> 00:38:59,260
And you took it for spite.

518
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:01,720
Dad, we've grown apart.

519
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,380
We are alike and yet so different. And
gradually we've grown apart.

520
00:39:06,940 --> 00:39:09,960
I know it's hard for you to think of me
as an adult, but I am.

521
00:39:10,380 --> 00:39:14,680
I know that Anthony Eller is low and
base, but something about the case

522
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,020
intrigues me, and you've got to let me
have my head.

523
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,460
Some things don't have simple
explanations.

524
00:39:23,220 --> 00:39:24,520
Everything I know does.

525
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,600
Yeah? Yeah. When I was five, I asked you
where babies came from, and you said,

526
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:30,640
go ask your mother.

527
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,380
Well, yeah, but... Things were difficult
for her.

528
00:39:33,740 --> 00:39:36,420
She told me about God and that babies
came from heaven.

529
00:39:36,860 --> 00:39:37,860
Well, they do.

530
00:39:38,140 --> 00:39:39,140
Where are you going?

531
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,840
Room 335. I'm meeting whoever's
prosecuting the case for discovery.

532
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,200
Mind if I go with you?

533
00:39:45,860 --> 00:39:46,860
Why?

534
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:52,120
Here's the report filed by the detective
who searched Arthur Eller's house

535
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:58,240
during which a container of cyanide was
found in a cupboard beneath his sink.

536
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,020
Well, that doesn't make sense, does it?

537
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:13,120
He dumps cyanide in his lover's tea,
then runs home past hundreds of

538
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:17,440
of garbage cans so that he can put the
incriminating evidence in plain sight

539
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,560
under his sink.

540
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:24,020
Also, the police tracked down the
messenger who left those photos of your

541
00:40:24,020 --> 00:40:27,420
dressed, or should I say undressed, as a
cowboy.

542
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,940
And according to his statement, he
received a phone call from a woman.

543
00:40:33,690 --> 00:40:38,310
Telling him to pick up the envelope
containing the photos from the house at

544
00:40:38,310 --> 00:40:39,430
North Star Drive.

545
00:40:39,730 --> 00:40:40,950
Ava Brodsky's house.

546
00:40:41,350 --> 00:40:43,350
Ava Brodsky sent those pictures?

547
00:40:43,650 --> 00:40:49,490
My guess is that she and Judge Eller had
a fight or something, and she sent them

548
00:40:49,490 --> 00:40:50,490
in order to get revenge.

549
00:40:50,750 --> 00:40:54,930
Only he found out, got mad, and killed
her. Which gives us motive.

550
00:40:55,750 --> 00:40:59,550
Did the messenger actually see Ava
Brodsky when he picked up the photos at

551
00:40:59,550 --> 00:41:02,390
address? No, she left them for him in
the mailbox.

552
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,680
Anybody could have put them there.

553
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:10,800
And finally, I have the statement of one
Curtis Bartholomew who lives across the

554
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,220
street from the Brodsky residence.

555
00:41:12,900 --> 00:41:18,680
And he's ready to testify that he saw
Arthur Eller enter Ava's house at

556
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:20,160
approximately 5 p .m.

557
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:21,860
the day she was murdered.

558
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,440
He said he wasn't there all day.

559
00:41:33,900 --> 00:41:35,480
Okay, well, he probably did see me
there.

560
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,360
Ava called, said Leah was going to be
home for dinner.

561
00:41:39,140 --> 00:41:41,780
I went there straight after work, stayed
till about 6 .30.

562
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,280
You lied to me, Judge Eller.

563
00:41:46,020 --> 00:41:47,020
Leanne, I'm a judge.

564
00:41:47,500 --> 00:41:49,780
I've presided over literally hundreds of
cases.

565
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:55,680
If the jury had found out that I went to
Ava's house that night, that's all

566
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:56,680
they'd remember.

567
00:41:56,740 --> 00:41:58,160
I had no choice but to lie.

568
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:00,160
What else have you lied about?

569
00:42:02,540 --> 00:42:04,480
Nothing. That's it. Swear it.

570
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,560
Let's get this straight, Judge Eller.

571
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:12,360
You lie to me once more about this case,
about what you had for breakfast, about

572
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,360
anything.

573
00:42:14,100 --> 00:42:15,160
And I'll be history.

574
00:42:16,100 --> 00:42:18,700
And believe me, so will you.

575
00:42:21,340 --> 00:42:22,340
You got that?

576
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,080
Understood.

577
00:42:26,100 --> 00:42:28,160
Now where is this videotape you want me
to see?

578
00:42:30,620 --> 00:42:34,520
Somebody sitting at the cafe reported
this thing from start to finish.

579
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,720
Well, this is all very interesting,
Judge, but what's it got to do with your

580
00:42:37,720 --> 00:42:38,720
case?

581
00:42:38,820 --> 00:42:42,340
I was the only person on the Brodsky
Commission who believed that Jay

582
00:42:42,340 --> 00:42:43,900
shot the mayor because he was paid.

583
00:42:44,660 --> 00:42:47,720
That's why I've been framed, because
somebody wants me off that commission.

584
00:42:48,300 --> 00:42:50,100
Okay, now here's what I want you to look
at.

585
00:42:50,300 --> 00:42:51,300
All right.

586
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:57,920
See that guy standing there in a jean
jacket? Mm -hmm. Stands there. He waits.

587
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,740
If I rolled the tape...

588
00:42:59,950 --> 00:43:04,350
you'd see that he starts running around
like he's freaked out or something. But

589
00:43:04,350 --> 00:43:06,570
if he really freaked out, you'd think
he'd leave.

590
00:43:07,490 --> 00:43:08,530
Watch what he does.

591
00:43:10,170 --> 00:43:11,170
Okay.

592
00:43:12,330 --> 00:43:15,970
He's out of frame for a few minutes with
all this general confusion. Then when

593
00:43:15,970 --> 00:43:17,710
he reenters, who does he run into?

594
00:43:19,110 --> 00:43:20,110
Killer Jay Reynolds.

595
00:43:21,730 --> 00:43:25,490
It's almost as if he knew Jay Reynolds
was coming out of that building and

596
00:43:25,490 --> 00:43:26,690
wanted to make sure he got caught.

597
00:43:27,950 --> 00:43:28,950
That's right.

598
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,940
Then he disappears into the crowd before
the police can take his name. The man's

599
00:43:33,940 --> 00:43:34,940
never heard of again.

600
00:43:35,780 --> 00:43:37,400
I wonder who he is.

601
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:39,040
Yeah.

602
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,280
What do you want?

603
00:43:57,240 --> 00:43:58,480
We got a little problem.

604
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,420
Nothing you and Judd can't have.

605
00:44:16,140 --> 00:44:19,680
No, no, no, Dad. I just think we
remember he wasn't on the Beverly

606
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,460
He was on Green Acres. Leanne, we used
to watch those shows together.

607
00:44:24,030 --> 00:44:27,610
Was the Beverly Hillbillies. Dad, the
pig was on Green Acres. He even won an

608
00:44:27,610 --> 00:44:31,070
award. The pig was on Beverly
Hillbillies and his name was Jed.

609
00:44:31,310 --> 00:44:33,710
His name was Arnold and he was on Green
Acres.

610
00:44:34,050 --> 00:44:35,870
Who was Jed? Jed Clampett.

611
00:44:36,190 --> 00:44:39,110
Buddy Epson. Beverly Hillbillies. Oh,
yeah, that's right.

612
00:44:39,370 --> 00:44:43,190
I remember now. Every time we watched
Green Acres, I got hungry for barbecue.

613
00:44:44,950 --> 00:44:45,950
I'll make some tea.

614
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,280
He was framed because of that
commission.

615
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:36,820
Mrs. Taylor, you're a genius.

616
00:45:37,780 --> 00:45:38,780
Unless he's lying.

617
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:40,520
Ms. Tom, I don't think so.

618
00:45:49,980 --> 00:45:55,240
You say this man paid you to kill the
mayor.

619
00:45:56,460 --> 00:45:57,460
What did he look like?

620
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:03,020
I don't know. Maybe mine. Maybe Bill's
brown hair.

621
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:04,480
Only met him twice.

622
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:05,979
Where'd you meet him?

623
00:46:05,980 --> 00:46:07,040
Parking garage at the mall.

624
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:11,660
I'd park in a particular spot and he'd
walk up, we'd talk, he'd walk away.

625
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:17,140
Second time he gave me 25 grand and told
me that the mayor would be at the Shun

626
00:46:17,140 --> 00:46:18,780
Li Cafe at 3 that afternoon.

627
00:46:20,300 --> 00:46:22,120
Told me to take out him and whoever he
met.

628
00:46:23,180 --> 00:46:24,180
Tell you why?

629
00:46:24,500 --> 00:46:25,500
No.

630
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,040
Then what about this man?

631
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,260
The man who ran into you on the street.

632
00:46:29,620 --> 00:46:30,620
You ever see him before?

633
00:46:31,660 --> 00:46:32,660
I don't know.

634
00:46:35,460 --> 00:46:37,420
Somebody hung you out to dry pretty
good, didn't they?

635
00:46:38,900 --> 00:46:40,160
Yeah. Who?

636
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,060
Who would have done this to you?

637
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,020
Come on, you must have some idea. Lady,
I've been sitting here for more than a

638
00:46:45,020 --> 00:46:45,859
month now.

639
00:46:45,860 --> 00:46:47,680
I've been thinking about nothing else
day and night.

640
00:46:48,660 --> 00:46:49,660
I gotta tell you.

641
00:46:50,940 --> 00:46:51,940
I don't have a clue.

642
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:01,840
Oh, Leanne Matlock.

643
00:47:02,740 --> 00:47:03,740
Hi, Bob.

644
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:05,880
Actually, it's Leanne McIntyre now.

645
00:47:06,180 --> 00:47:10,520
Yeah, that's right. You ran off with
that prosecutor from Philly, right? Oh,

646
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:11,780
won't tell Dad you said ran off.

647
00:47:12,020 --> 00:47:13,020
Well, you did.

648
00:47:13,140 --> 00:47:15,520
Well, a lope, I think they call it. I
think they call it that.

649
00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:17,598
Have a seat.

650
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:18,600
Thanks.

651
00:47:19,240 --> 00:47:22,080
I hear you're representing Arthur Eller.

652
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,680
Yeah, but I'd like to see your files on
the assassination of Mayor Jeffries.

653
00:47:27,860 --> 00:47:31,490
Why? I have reason to believe that if
the mayor's death had been thoroughly

654
00:47:31,490 --> 00:47:33,850
investigated, Ava Brodsky's death would
never have occurred.

655
00:47:34,650 --> 00:47:35,650
Is that right?

656
00:47:35,930 --> 00:47:37,430
Oh, no offense, Bob.

657
00:47:38,070 --> 00:47:39,270
I'll try not to take any.

658
00:47:40,250 --> 00:47:43,730
I'd also like to see what you have on
Dave Peters, the man who was also killed

659
00:47:43,730 --> 00:47:44,730
with the mayor.

660
00:47:45,030 --> 00:47:46,030
Okay.

661
00:47:48,610 --> 00:47:49,670
Yeah, yeah, this is Brooke.

662
00:47:49,910 --> 00:47:51,790
Bring me Dave Peters' personal effects.

663
00:47:52,370 --> 00:47:53,370
Yeah, thanks.

664
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:05,880
report on dave peters he was an auto
mechanic just your ordinary joe no

665
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:10,860
record no special ties to the mayor
thank you no reason to believe he wasn't

666
00:48:10,860 --> 00:48:15,360
anything but an innocent bystander i'd
like to see for myself

667
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:21,500
you know you remind me of a fellow ben
metlock

668
00:48:34,990 --> 00:48:38,270
Dave's dad still hasn't come by to pick
up his stuff yet. And I had to get it

669
00:48:38,270 --> 00:48:40,330
out of the way, so I just kind of threw
it in here.

670
00:48:43,910 --> 00:48:45,050
How long were you two roommates?

671
00:48:45,670 --> 00:48:46,670
About a year.

672
00:48:46,810 --> 00:48:47,689
Nice guy.

673
00:48:47,690 --> 00:48:50,270
Always paid his rent on time, never
hassled me about nothing.

674
00:48:51,490 --> 00:48:52,890
Did you ever talk about the mayor?

675
00:48:54,030 --> 00:48:55,030
No, never.

676
00:48:55,790 --> 00:48:56,790
Did he have a girlfriend?

677
00:48:57,350 --> 00:48:58,350
He had one.

678
00:48:58,850 --> 00:49:00,350
Carrie something.

679
00:49:00,690 --> 00:49:01,750
I don't know, he met her at church.

680
00:49:02,150 --> 00:49:03,470
Philip! Carrie Phillips.

681
00:49:04,010 --> 00:49:07,330
Yeah, Dave mentioned her a lot there for
a while. And then all of a sudden,

682
00:49:07,370 --> 00:49:09,010
nothing. I guess they broke up.

683
00:49:11,270 --> 00:49:12,270
What was she like?

684
00:49:13,210 --> 00:49:14,370
Never laid eyes on her.

685
00:49:14,710 --> 00:49:18,050
Dave was kind of straight and late. You
know, he never brought any girls home.

686
00:49:21,870 --> 00:49:23,050
Salvatore Productions.

687
00:49:24,370 --> 00:49:25,470
These belong to Dave?

688
00:49:26,290 --> 00:49:27,290
I guess.

689
00:49:28,770 --> 00:49:29,770
They're not mine.

690
00:49:30,690 --> 00:49:32,010
Guess Dave was a little kinky.

691
00:49:32,570 --> 00:49:33,570
I guess.

692
00:49:33,950 --> 00:49:34,950
You don't have it that anything.

693
00:49:35,970 --> 00:49:36,970
Closet kinky.

694
00:49:50,470 --> 00:49:51,470
Dad?

695
00:49:51,790 --> 00:49:52,790
Yeah?

696
00:49:53,630 --> 00:49:55,290
Hi. Oh, great.

697
00:49:55,970 --> 00:49:58,130
Just the person I wanted to see. Hey, ma
'am.

698
00:49:58,970 --> 00:49:59,970
What's that?

699
00:50:00,110 --> 00:50:02,930
Well, these belong to Dave Peters. I was
hoping you could track down the girl

700
00:50:02,930 --> 00:50:03,930
with stars in them.

701
00:50:04,350 --> 00:50:08,530
What's some porno queen got to do with
the cat? I don't know yet, but I do know

702
00:50:08,530 --> 00:50:11,570
that when he was shot with the mayor,
Dave Peters had a necklace in his pocket

703
00:50:11,570 --> 00:50:13,170
identical to the one she's wearing.

704
00:50:14,710 --> 00:50:15,710
Candy stripe, huh?

705
00:50:15,930 --> 00:50:18,130
Yeah, and if you don't have any luck
with that, try Carrie Phillips.

706
00:50:20,430 --> 00:50:21,430
Damn!

707
00:50:25,370 --> 00:50:26,370
Carrie!

708
00:50:26,490 --> 00:50:27,490
Carrie, dear!

709
00:50:40,300 --> 00:50:42,000
I could have sworn I just saw her.

710
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:43,560
Are you sure she's the one you ran into?

711
00:50:44,620 --> 00:50:48,400
She's usually wearing more clothes, but
yes, that's Carrie.

712
00:51:26,259 --> 00:51:27,540
All her things are gone.

713
00:51:29,720 --> 00:51:30,760
You didn't find anything?

714
00:51:31,180 --> 00:51:34,300
It's like she dropped everything and
moved out ten minutes before I got

715
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,060
This is a complicated case.

716
00:51:39,900 --> 00:51:41,500
Are you sure you went to the right
house?

717
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:43,520
Yes, I went to the right house.

718
00:51:44,220 --> 00:51:45,460
And you talked to the landlady?

719
00:51:46,780 --> 00:51:49,460
Yes, I talked to the landlady. And she
didn't know anything.

720
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,720
I think I'll go back and question her
myself.

721
00:51:53,150 --> 00:51:57,330
You don't have to... Conrad, could I
have a moment with Leanne alone?

722
00:52:00,110 --> 00:52:01,110
Sure.

723
00:52:06,650 --> 00:52:11,790
I... I wish you had never gotten
involved in this.

724
00:52:12,430 --> 00:52:17,270
I mean, what if he's guilty? And he's
lying, like he did with me.

725
00:52:17,510 --> 00:52:19,030
He deserves what he gets.

726
00:52:19,490 --> 00:52:21,230
Just let it go.

727
00:52:22,090 --> 00:52:25,790
It's leading to pornography, and that's
gangsters, and it's dangerous.

728
00:52:26,710 --> 00:52:28,350
It's getting too big, Leanne.

729
00:52:28,630 --> 00:52:29,770
He's not worth it.

730
00:52:30,070 --> 00:52:32,230
Just let it go.

731
00:52:33,490 --> 00:52:37,490
I know he's not much, Dad, and I know
how you feel about my defending him.

732
00:52:37,930 --> 00:52:40,850
I'm not crazy over him, either. I'm a
woman, for heaven's sake.

733
00:52:41,910 --> 00:52:43,190
But I have to do this.

734
00:52:43,610 --> 00:52:46,650
The evidence against him just doesn't
add up, not to me.

735
00:52:47,810 --> 00:52:49,030
I'll work with Conrad.

736
00:52:49,330 --> 00:52:50,350
We'll be careful.

737
00:52:51,740 --> 00:52:52,960
But I have to do this.

738
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:55,140
I believe in it, Dad.

739
00:52:55,940 --> 00:52:56,940
You understand?

740
00:52:59,220 --> 00:53:00,220
No.

741
00:53:22,030 --> 00:53:23,450
This isn't working, is it, Dad?

742
00:53:25,950 --> 00:53:27,370
Remember, I said we were growing apart.

743
00:53:30,250 --> 00:53:31,450
I didn't think we were.

744
00:53:32,270 --> 00:53:33,270
Well, we have.

745
00:53:35,030 --> 00:53:36,970
Every time I felt one way, you felt
another.

746
00:53:37,750 --> 00:53:40,430
Every time I wanted to do something, you
wanted me to do something else.

747
00:53:41,610 --> 00:53:43,670
I was just trying to open up
possibilities.

748
00:53:45,130 --> 00:53:46,790
This case is a possibility.

749
00:53:52,620 --> 00:53:55,180
Whenever I didn't do what you wanted,
you just became silent.

750
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,080
Like now.

751
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:58,920
Do you remember that?

752
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,340
In college, in law school, and after?

753
00:54:03,900 --> 00:54:06,400
The silence between us just became
deafening, Dad.

754
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:14,160
That can eventually cause all people,
husband and wife, father and daughter,

755
00:54:14,340 --> 00:54:17,700
to fall out of love.

756
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,860
You're silent, and I talk too much.

757
00:54:33,940 --> 00:54:38,280
I think till this is over, I'll get a
hotel.

758
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,640
Someplace in town. I'll call and let you
know where.

759
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:50,680
Bye.

760
00:55:33,609 --> 00:55:34,990
Yeah, looking for work.

761
00:55:35,430 --> 00:55:37,570
Try Burger Bob's, two doors down.

762
00:55:37,850 --> 00:55:39,690
Oh, hey, I just got in from Chicago.

763
00:55:40,570 --> 00:55:42,350
Worked a lot of big Buddy Balzac films.

764
00:55:43,330 --> 00:55:44,330
Doing what?

765
00:55:44,570 --> 00:55:46,290
Everything, man. You name it, I did it.

766
00:55:48,050 --> 00:55:49,530
I guess we can use another grip.

767
00:55:49,770 --> 00:55:50,770
All right, I'm your guy.

768
00:56:00,430 --> 00:56:03,130
So what do you want me to do? We need to
put up a parallel over there.

769
00:56:06,390 --> 00:56:07,390
Let's go.

770
00:56:12,850 --> 00:56:16,630
Anyway, Judge Lockhart finally agreed to
hear motions from Chambers.

771
00:56:17,030 --> 00:56:18,390
He wants us there at two.

772
00:56:18,630 --> 00:56:19,630
All right.

773
00:56:21,250 --> 00:56:23,850
Says he'll bring the chips if we bring
the bean dip.

774
00:56:24,090 --> 00:56:25,090
Bean dip.

775
00:56:25,370 --> 00:56:28,390
You haven't heard a word I've said, have
you?

776
00:56:33,690 --> 00:56:36,130
Ben, you know what you have to do, don't
you?

777
00:56:38,590 --> 00:56:42,510
What? Go over to that hotel and
apologize to Leanne.

778
00:56:43,790 --> 00:56:45,810
Apologize for what? For caring for her?

779
00:56:46,290 --> 00:56:48,070
For whatever it is you argued about.

780
00:56:49,290 --> 00:56:50,810
We didn't exactly argue.

781
00:56:52,390 --> 00:56:54,910
Ben, you're her father and you love her.

782
00:56:56,150 --> 00:56:57,590
And Leanne's very unhappy.

783
00:56:59,910 --> 00:57:01,690
No. Well, you're right.

784
00:57:02,250 --> 00:57:08,310
As soon as we're done here... As soon as
we're done, I'll go over there and

785
00:57:08,310 --> 00:57:10,030
set things straight.

786
00:57:10,530 --> 00:57:11,730
Dick, tell her you love her.

787
00:57:12,090 --> 00:57:14,770
Yeah, but it's just the minute I see
her.

788
00:57:15,810 --> 00:57:17,910
Better yet, do it right now.

789
00:57:22,890 --> 00:57:23,890
Hello,

790
00:57:27,330 --> 00:57:28,910
Michelle. Howdy. Hello, Dad.

791
00:57:29,210 --> 00:57:30,210
Hi.

792
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:33,880
I've got jury selection. How about you?

793
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,800
Oh, we're just filing a couple of
appeals.

794
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:45,080
How about those 76ers? Oh, great game,
wasn't it? Yeah.

795
00:57:45,340 --> 00:57:47,520
I won ten bucks off the bellhop. Hey.

796
00:57:49,900 --> 00:57:54,160
I gotta go.

797
00:57:55,500 --> 00:57:57,020
Yeah, yeah, we do too.

798
00:58:06,700 --> 00:58:08,320
How about those 76ers?

799
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:14,380
She likes sports.

800
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:19,080
You go to tell your daughter how much
you love her, and out of your mouth

801
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:21,060
how about those 76ers?

802
00:58:21,660 --> 00:58:23,080
Well, it wasn't a good game.

803
00:58:24,220 --> 00:58:28,700
All right, look, girls. First, you tie
him to the bed, right? And then you

804
00:58:28,700 --> 00:58:29,700
out the whips.

805
00:58:30,580 --> 00:58:33,340
Yeah, hey, hey, hey, hold up the hammer,
will ya?

806
00:58:36,020 --> 00:58:37,020
Sorry.

807
00:58:49,900 --> 00:58:50,900
Hi.

808
00:58:54,660 --> 00:58:55,660
Hi.

809
00:58:56,860 --> 00:58:57,860
Name's Conrad.

810
00:58:58,420 --> 00:58:59,700
Just in from Chicago.

811
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,580
Big buddy Balzac Films.

812
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:04,380
Weather's better here.

813
00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:07,320
Boy, no kidding. I'm glad to be out of
that deep freeze.

814
00:59:07,860 --> 00:59:09,640
Some of those outdoor scenes are near
impossible.

815
00:59:10,540 --> 00:59:11,920
Why didn't they shoot inside?

816
00:59:13,220 --> 00:59:14,220
Realism, they said.

817
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:16,060
A damn near turned blue himself.

818
00:59:19,100 --> 00:59:20,980
Yeah, you're friends with Candy Stripe.

819
00:59:21,220 --> 00:59:22,240
I mean, Carrie Phillips.

820
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:24,400
Used to.

821
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:25,680
Used to be.

822
00:59:25,940 --> 00:59:28,980
Kind of hard to carry on a friendship
with somebody that's moved out of the

823
00:59:28,980 --> 00:59:29,980
country.

824
00:59:30,140 --> 00:59:31,520
There you go, Lisa. You're done.

825
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:38,320
When you should do that?

826
00:59:39,940 --> 00:59:41,260
The day before yesterday.

827
00:59:42,140 --> 00:59:45,660
Called out of the blue and says she's
moving to Europe. La -di -da.

828
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:47,320
You know her?

829
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:48,940
I know her boyfriend, Dave Peterson.

830
00:59:49,220 --> 00:59:51,360
Oh, she was nuts about him.

831
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:55,340
Afraid to tell him what she did for a
living. Oh, it's something when he found

832
00:59:55,340 --> 00:59:57,100
out. He found out?

833
00:59:58,400 --> 00:59:59,580
Yeah, went berserk.

834
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:04,480
Found out where she worked so he could
surprise her on her birthday. Went

835
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,360
totally bananas when he saw this place.

836
01:00:06,590 --> 01:00:10,430
Greened at her? Hell, he even stormed
into Matt Greenwood's office and swore

837
01:00:10,430 --> 01:00:11,610
was going to close the place down.

838
01:00:12,150 --> 01:00:13,210
Who's Matt Greenwood?

839
01:00:13,690 --> 01:00:15,010
The guy who runs this place.

840
01:00:15,590 --> 01:00:17,130
Where the hell is Louie?

841
01:00:17,430 --> 01:00:18,870
I'm supposed to be shooting him.

842
01:00:19,210 --> 01:00:21,470
He doesn't feel so hot. I think he went
home.

843
01:00:22,830 --> 01:00:24,330
Where are the kids? I'll shoot them.

844
01:00:24,750 --> 01:00:26,070
They're not in till three.

845
01:00:26,790 --> 01:00:30,850
Oh, this is great. This is just great. I
have got nothing to shoot.

846
01:00:33,650 --> 01:00:35,530
Hey, you, take off your shirt.

847
01:00:38,020 --> 01:00:39,520
Me? Yeah, you.

848
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,060
Yeah, all right. The sponge bath thing.

849
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:53,180
Now, who's that?

850
01:00:54,060 --> 01:00:55,060
Matt Greenwood.

851
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:57,760
Here's your costume.

852
01:00:58,380 --> 01:00:59,940
I'll make you up as soon as you change.

853
01:01:39,530 --> 01:01:40,890
Colin Young, the police chief?

854
01:01:41,170 --> 01:01:44,750
Let's have a nice, cozy, secret little
chat with this guy right here.

855
01:01:45,290 --> 01:01:48,290
Matt Greenwood, owner of Salvatore
Productions.

856
01:01:48,830 --> 01:01:50,390
This guy uses minors, Ben.

857
01:01:50,650 --> 01:01:51,650
He does?

858
01:01:51,830 --> 01:01:55,230
And I'll bet you anything the police
chief not only knew about it, but he was

859
01:01:55,230 --> 01:01:56,230
taking a cut.

860
01:01:58,630 --> 01:02:02,990
Now, what if Dave Peters was serious
about shutting down Matt Greenwood? And

861
01:02:02,990 --> 01:02:04,050
what if he went to the mayor?

862
01:02:04,610 --> 01:02:05,990
And what if figuring...

863
01:02:06,300 --> 01:02:09,060
That the police chief was somehow
involved and that he and the mayor

864
01:02:09,060 --> 01:02:10,400
their own private investigation.

865
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:12,540
That would explain why they were
together that afternoon.

866
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:13,880
Yeah.

867
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,820
And why Jay Reynolds was told to kill
Buffalo.

868
01:02:18,220 --> 01:02:23,000
And why Matt Greenwood made sure that
Jay Reynolds was caught and took the

869
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:24,000
rap. Huh?

870
01:02:25,340 --> 01:02:27,340
Leanne should be told about this. Yeah.

871
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:29,960
Yeah, she's in court.

872
01:02:31,900 --> 01:02:35,680
But if you hurry, you can catch him
before she breaks the watch.

873
01:02:36,090 --> 01:02:37,090
I should tell her?

874
01:02:37,170 --> 01:02:42,490
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And listen, if
she decides to go talk to Matt

875
01:02:42,570 --> 01:02:43,570
you go with her.

876
01:02:52,990 --> 01:02:58,870
Lieutenant, what did the forensic lab
report indicate was found inside the cup

877
01:02:58,870 --> 01:03:00,010
by the decedent's bed?

878
01:03:00,430 --> 01:03:04,850
A commercial blend of black tea and a
form of cyanide, more or less commonly

879
01:03:04,850 --> 01:03:06,510
sold in jewelry supply stores.

880
01:03:06,970 --> 01:03:10,130
And according to the lab report, what
was on the cup?

881
01:03:10,490 --> 01:03:15,410
Traces of lipstick identical to the
lipstick Ava Brodsky was wearing at the

882
01:03:15,410 --> 01:03:16,368
of her death.

883
01:03:16,370 --> 01:03:20,670
One or two fingerprints belonging to her
and several others belonging to the

884
01:03:20,670 --> 01:03:21,750
defendant, Arthur Eller.

885
01:03:22,410 --> 01:03:26,570
When the defendant, Mr. Eller, was
arrested, a search was made of his home.

886
01:03:27,010 --> 01:03:29,110
Please tell the court what you found.

887
01:03:30,060 --> 01:03:34,720
A container of cyanide crystal identical
in formulation to the cyanide found in

888
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,020
the cup was removed from beneath his
kitchen sink.

889
01:03:37,380 --> 01:03:38,380
Thank you, Lieutenant.

890
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:40,900
You're with me, Counselor.

891
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,760
You say the cyanide you found is sold in
jewelry supply stores.

892
01:03:47,140 --> 01:03:49,980
That's correct. It's used in the process
of silver plating.

893
01:03:51,460 --> 01:03:55,240
And your detectives canvassed all the
jewelry supply stores in the area to see

894
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:58,200
if anyone remembered selling that
cyanide to my client. Did they not?

895
01:03:58,600 --> 01:03:59,600
Yes, they did.

896
01:04:00,460 --> 01:04:02,000
Had anyone sold it to my client?

897
01:04:02,740 --> 01:04:04,420
Not that we could find, no.

898
01:04:05,860 --> 01:04:06,860
Thank you.

899
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:08,540
Witness may step down.

900
01:04:09,500 --> 01:04:10,680
We'll break for lunch.

901
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,620
Then you can call your next witness,
Miss March.

902
01:04:14,300 --> 01:04:17,360
This court is in recess until 2 p .m.

903
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:24,180
Hi. Hi.

904
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:25,980
Can I talk to you about something?

905
01:04:39,950 --> 01:04:43,290
A pornography ring involving the chief
of police. That explains a lot.

906
01:04:43,690 --> 01:04:44,690
Thanks, Conrad.

907
01:04:45,150 --> 01:04:46,590
You know you're a lot like your dad?

908
01:04:47,050 --> 01:04:48,029
I think so.

909
01:04:48,030 --> 01:04:49,030
Oh, yeah, I think.

910
01:04:49,090 --> 01:04:50,090
There's Matt Greenwood.

911
01:04:50,190 --> 01:04:51,190
Hey, Mr. Greenwood!

912
01:04:51,730 --> 01:04:52,730
Wait up a sec!

913
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:20,100
Why are you knocking? It's not locked. I
know, but could you come outside for a

914
01:05:20,100 --> 01:05:21,100
second? I'm reading.

915
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,640
Ben, it's your begonias. I think Ralph
Twilliker's dog is in them again. If I

916
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,900
ever get my hand on that dog...

917
01:05:27,900 --> 01:05:33,900
My

918
01:05:33,900 --> 01:05:39,240
begonias look fine.

919
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:42,400
Hi. Hi.

920
01:05:43,060 --> 01:05:44,220
We had to get you out of the house.

921
01:05:44,420 --> 01:05:45,720
Why? We're pretty sure it's bugged.

922
01:05:46,799 --> 01:05:48,240
Bugs? Your house and your phone.

923
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:52,080
Somebody put microphones in my house?
Are you sure? Has to be.

924
01:05:52,340 --> 01:05:56,940
Ben, we talk about Carrie Phillips in
your kitchen, and when we go looking for

925
01:05:56,940 --> 01:05:58,080
her, she's left the country.

926
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:02,480
Then we talk about Matt Greenwood in
your living room, and he gets murdered.

927
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:04,020
Matt Greenwood's dead?

928
01:06:04,460 --> 01:06:06,540
Somebody drove by and shot him right in
front of us.

929
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:10,200
If this thing is as big as we think it
is, bugging your house would not be a

930
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:11,200
problem.

931
01:06:11,300 --> 01:06:13,700
For the time being, I think it's best
not to let on you know.

932
01:06:15,470 --> 01:06:16,470
You have an idea?

933
01:06:17,430 --> 01:06:18,430
Yeah, I do.

934
01:06:23,750 --> 01:06:25,430
Have Sergeant Robbins get right on it.

935
01:06:31,370 --> 01:06:32,630
Colin, talk to you a minute?

936
01:06:33,750 --> 01:06:34,750
Yes, of course.

937
01:06:38,350 --> 01:06:39,350
How you doing, Bob?

938
01:06:39,430 --> 01:06:40,430
Fine, fine.

939
01:06:40,830 --> 01:06:43,350
Leanne McIntyre, this is Police Chief
Colin Young.

940
01:06:43,590 --> 01:06:44,488
How do you do?

941
01:06:44,490 --> 01:06:45,448
How do you do?

942
01:06:45,450 --> 01:06:47,410
Mrs. McIntyre is defending Arthur Eller.

943
01:06:48,650 --> 01:06:50,130
Oh, yes, of course.

944
01:06:51,390 --> 01:06:53,630
Shouldn't you be in court? We just
recessed for the day.

945
01:06:54,630 --> 01:06:59,650
Colin, I have to ask you a few
questions. About what? What was your

946
01:06:59,650 --> 01:07:01,470
to Matt Greenwood? Matt Greenwood?

947
01:07:02,510 --> 01:07:04,970
The man who was killed this afternoon.
Yeah, I know who he is.

948
01:07:05,590 --> 01:07:08,590
What I don't understand is why you think
I had some kind of relationship with

949
01:07:08,590 --> 01:07:09,750
him and why you're asking me questions.

950
01:07:10,130 --> 01:07:12,890
Because you were seen talking to him a
little more than an hour before he was

951
01:07:12,890 --> 01:07:13,890
shot.

952
01:07:15,879 --> 01:07:18,360
Bob, I want to know why you're asking me
these questions.

953
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:23,100
I'm still investigating the murder of
Mayor Jeffries, and I want to know what

954
01:07:23,100 --> 01:07:25,240
you were doing with Matt Greenwood
today. My job.

955
01:07:25,660 --> 01:07:27,700
The videotape we found of the mayor's
assassination.

956
01:07:28,300 --> 01:07:29,740
Matt Greenwood was in it.

957
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:32,180
He's the one who more or less nailed the
shooter for us.

958
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,700
When we ID'd him, I paid him a visit and
asked him a few questions.

959
01:07:36,180 --> 01:07:37,180
What did he say?

960
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,780
I don't think I'm obligated to answer
that. In fact, if you don't mind...

961
01:07:41,050 --> 01:07:44,230
I'd like to get back to work. Oh, just
one more question. Where were you on the

962
01:07:44,230 --> 01:07:45,650
night that Ava Brodsky was murdered?

963
01:07:46,130 --> 01:07:47,810
Now, what the hell do you want to know
that for?

964
01:07:48,170 --> 01:07:51,250
Well, because I'm convinced that the
mayor's death and her death are somehow

965
01:07:51,250 --> 01:07:53,010
connected and that you're the common
denominator.

966
01:07:57,550 --> 01:07:58,550
That's ridiculous.

967
01:07:58,930 --> 01:08:02,550
Colin, just tell us where you were on
the 19th and we'll be on our way.

968
01:08:11,820 --> 01:08:15,200
On the 19th, I had a meeting at 5, which
probably means I got back here around

969
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:19,080
6. Then, as I recall, I sat here and
worked, got the evening news, got home

970
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:23,140
around 7 .30, ate a frozen dinner, read,
and went to bed at 10 o 'clock.

971
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:24,680
You happy?

972
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,160
He's lying. He met Matt Greenwood more
than once.

973
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:41,680
You know, he could even be behind the
shooting of Greenwood. Well, I... If we

974
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:44,899
can find somebody at Salvatore
Productions that saw him and Greenwood

975
01:08:44,899 --> 01:08:49,319
before yesterday, you can bet that
police chief is going to be in a whole

976
01:08:49,319 --> 01:08:50,319
trouble.

977
01:08:52,020 --> 01:08:56,040
You live right across the street from
where Ava Brodsky lived with her

978
01:08:56,100 --> 01:08:57,100
Is that correct, Mr.

979
01:08:57,279 --> 01:08:59,060
Bartholomew? That's right, yes.

980
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:02,180
And where were you on the afternoon she
died? Do you remember?

981
01:09:03,140 --> 01:09:05,560
I was outside in my driveway working on
my car.

982
01:09:05,950 --> 01:09:10,729
Uh -huh. And while you were outside, did
you happen to see anyone enter or leave

983
01:09:10,729 --> 01:09:11,729
the Brodsky home?

984
01:09:12,470 --> 01:09:16,470
Yes. Around five, I saw that man right
there go inside.

985
01:09:17,069 --> 01:09:18,609
Came out about an hour or so later.

986
01:09:19,050 --> 01:09:21,689
Let the record show the witness pointed
at the defendant.

987
01:09:22,830 --> 01:09:24,710
Are you sure he's the man you saw?

988
01:09:25,029 --> 01:09:26,970
Positive. I used to see him there a lot.

989
01:09:27,450 --> 01:09:29,090
Thank you. Nothing further.

990
01:09:30,130 --> 01:09:31,130
Your witness.

991
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:37,300
How long were you out there working on
your car that day?

992
01:09:37,700 --> 01:09:39,340
About four until it got dark.

993
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:41,080
That's a long time.

994
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:43,140
It was a classic, see?

995
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,520
A 54 Chevy convertible.

996
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:48,540
I was getting her cleaned up for a rally
that weekend. Oh.

997
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:51,200
Tell me this, Mr.

998
01:09:51,540 --> 01:09:55,860
Bartholomew. Did you see anyone else in
this courtroom at Ava Brodsky's home

999
01:09:55,860 --> 01:09:56,860
that evening?

1000
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:58,080
Yeah.

1001
01:09:58,640 --> 01:09:59,640
I saw him.

1002
01:10:03,310 --> 01:10:06,850
Let the record show the witness pointed
to Police Chief Colin Young.

1003
01:10:10,530 --> 01:10:12,410
Any idea what time you saw him?

1004
01:10:13,270 --> 01:10:16,230
About 15 minutes or so after Judge Eller
left.

1005
01:10:17,390 --> 01:10:18,390
Thank you.

1006
01:10:21,610 --> 01:10:22,610
Prosecution?

1007
01:10:25,490 --> 01:10:26,730
Prosecution rests, Your Honor.

1008
01:10:27,230 --> 01:10:31,590
The witness is excused. Is the defense
ready to present its case?

1009
01:10:33,320 --> 01:10:37,660
Yes, Your Honor, for my first witness,
please call Police Chief Colin Young to

1010
01:10:37,660 --> 01:10:38,660
the stand.

1011
01:10:45,620 --> 01:10:47,760
Would you tell the court who Matt
Greenwood is?

1012
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:53,340
Matt Greenwood is, or was, a producer of
pornographic films.

1013
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:56,040
He died recently.

1014
01:10:57,060 --> 01:10:59,100
In point of fact, he was murdered, was
he not?

1015
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:00,640
Yes.

1016
01:11:00,970 --> 01:11:06,150
And this man, this pornographer, also
happened to assist the police in

1017
01:11:06,150 --> 01:11:08,670
Mr. J. Reynolds in the minutes after Mr.

1018
01:11:08,890 --> 01:11:12,210
Reynolds had just assassinated Mayor
Jeffries and Dave Peters, didn't he?

1019
01:11:12,690 --> 01:11:16,110
Ironically, yes, he did. In fact, the
only contact I had with him was when I

1020
01:11:16,110 --> 01:11:17,310
questioned him on Just That Matter.

1021
01:11:17,850 --> 01:11:20,910
Objection. We'll fail to see relevancy
to these questions.

1022
01:11:21,330 --> 01:11:24,690
Please bear with me, Your Honor. This
line of questioning is crucial to my

1023
01:11:24,690 --> 01:11:27,690
defense. Get to the point and be quick
about it.

1024
01:11:28,230 --> 01:11:30,690
Overruled. Were you a friend of Matt
Greenwood's? No.

1025
01:11:30,890 --> 01:11:32,830
A business associate? Of course not.

1026
01:11:33,070 --> 01:11:34,070
Huh.

1027
01:11:34,550 --> 01:11:38,710
And if I tell you that four individuals
who worked at Matt Greenwood's studio

1028
01:11:38,710 --> 01:11:43,390
identified you as the man they saw with
Mr. Greenwood before the mayor was

1029
01:11:43,390 --> 01:11:46,710
murdered... I'd say you're a very naive
young lady who should know better than

1030
01:11:46,710 --> 01:11:50,490
to believe the word of pornographers
before she believes the chief of police.

1031
01:11:50,930 --> 01:11:54,890
Objection. This is nothing but a wild
goose chase designed to distract and

1032
01:11:54,890 --> 01:11:55,890
confuse the jury.

1033
01:11:56,250 --> 01:11:57,850
I'm establishing motive, Your Honor.

1034
01:11:58,270 --> 01:12:02,710
For whose murder? Mr. Greenwood's, the
mayor's, or Eva Brodsky's?

1035
01:12:03,670 --> 01:12:06,650
You're trying my patience, young lady.

1036
01:12:09,010 --> 01:12:13,230
I cannot control what this witness says,
Your Honor, but the court's use of the

1037
01:12:13,230 --> 01:12:17,410
term young lady to me is inappropriate,
demeaning, and unprofessional.

1038
01:12:18,130 --> 01:12:19,290
I apologize.

1039
01:12:21,370 --> 01:12:23,370
Here's the deal, Miss McIntyre.

1040
01:12:23,930 --> 01:12:26,970
You have exactly one minute.

1041
01:12:27,230 --> 01:12:31,090
to make this line of questioning
relevant. If you fail to do so, you're

1042
01:12:31,090 --> 01:12:32,090
order. Understood?

1043
01:12:33,230 --> 01:12:34,230
Yes, Your Honor.

1044
01:12:36,970 --> 01:12:40,950
I am going to show you what we'll call
Defense Exhibit D for identification.

1045
01:12:44,530 --> 01:12:48,810
This is a copy of the deed to a piece of
property you own outside Jacksonville,

1046
01:12:48,810 --> 01:12:49,810
Florida, is it not?

1047
01:12:51,110 --> 01:12:52,110
Yes, it is.

1048
01:12:52,390 --> 01:12:53,390
When did you buy it?

1049
01:12:54,670 --> 01:12:56,030
A little less than a year ago.

1050
01:12:56,840 --> 01:13:01,780
I subpoenaed your bank records, and they
show no indication of any transfer of

1051
01:13:01,780 --> 01:13:03,360
funds to purchase this property.

1052
01:13:05,540 --> 01:13:06,820
How did you pay for it?

1053
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:10,360
I frankly don't remember.

1054
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:15,700
Maybe your memory will improve when I
show you Matt Greenwood's bank records.

1055
01:13:16,380 --> 01:13:17,760
I subpoenaed those two.

1056
01:13:18,440 --> 01:13:23,220
If you look right here, a little less
than a year ago, at exactly the same

1057
01:13:23,220 --> 01:13:28,130
that that piece of property was
purchased, Matt Greenwood withdrew $230

1058
01:13:28,130 --> 01:13:29,410
from one of his cash accounts.

1059
01:13:30,610 --> 01:13:34,910
$230 ,000 is exactly what this piece of
property cost, is it not?

1060
01:13:36,870 --> 01:13:39,790
Matt Greenwood purchased that piece of
property in your name, didn't he?

1061
01:13:40,850 --> 01:13:44,430
Objection! He was paying you off, wasn't
he? Time's up, Miss McIntyre.

1062
01:13:45,010 --> 01:13:50,990
You have succeeded in establishing this
witness's relationship with everyone in

1063
01:13:50,990 --> 01:13:52,990
this city but Ava Brodsky.

1064
01:13:53,250 --> 01:13:58,380
And it is this... Court's opinion that
you have done this with the sole purpose

1065
01:13:58,380 --> 01:14:01,660
of confusing and misleading the jury.

1066
01:14:02,780 --> 01:14:09,140
I chastise you for that and am now
instructing you to move on to something

1067
01:14:09,140 --> 01:14:10,140
else.

1068
01:14:10,940 --> 01:14:15,380
Your Honor, my client's freedom, if not
his life, is at stake here. You have to

1069
01:14:15,380 --> 01:14:16,560
grant me a little leeway.

1070
01:14:16,840 --> 01:14:18,760
I have granted you acres of leeway.

1071
01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:20,580
Now move on and sit down.

1072
01:14:22,200 --> 01:14:25,940
Dave Peters was shot and killed along
with the mayor because he found out Matt

1073
01:14:25,940 --> 01:14:28,120
Greenwood was playing footsie with the
chief of police.

1074
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:31,380
Objection. You're out of order. That's
why they were killed. One more word and

1075
01:14:31,380 --> 01:14:32,380
I'll charge you with contempt.

1076
01:14:32,660 --> 01:14:35,840
Ava Brodsky was killed so that Arthur
Eller would be arrested for the murder.

1077
01:14:36,100 --> 01:14:37,059
That's one day.

1078
01:14:37,060 --> 01:14:40,020
Don't you see? They wanted him removed
from the Brodsky commission.

1079
01:14:40,260 --> 01:14:42,240
It was a cover -up. Two days, bailiff.

1080
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:44,860
What is the matter with you?

1081
01:14:45,260 --> 01:14:48,620
How can you be so big at it? That's
three days.

1082
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:21,200
I don't feel like talking, okay?

1083
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:24,540
You lost it in there.

1084
01:15:24,780 --> 01:15:26,160
I made an ass out of myself.

1085
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:30,420
Well, that just shows you care.

1086
01:15:31,580 --> 01:15:32,960
There's nothing wrong with caring.

1087
01:15:34,140 --> 01:15:35,500
Caring can kill you, Dad.

1088
01:15:42,940 --> 01:15:48,640
Leanne, you said we've grown apart.

1089
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:54,260
Is there some way we can grow together?

1090
01:15:57,640 --> 01:15:58,840
I don't know.

1091
01:16:03,380 --> 01:16:06,640
Is there something more to this than you
and me?

1092
01:16:16,620 --> 01:16:17,720
Peter left me, Dad.

1093
01:16:20,750 --> 01:16:21,950
I never liked him.

1094
01:16:22,830 --> 01:16:24,190
I know.

1095
01:16:25,430 --> 01:16:26,630
Why did he leave you?

1096
01:16:27,610 --> 01:16:30,130
For somebody younger and probably a lot
prettier.

1097
01:16:32,390 --> 01:16:34,970
You still want him?

1098
01:16:35,370 --> 01:16:36,370
I don't know.

1099
01:16:36,750 --> 01:16:39,090
Loved him the minute I saw him, and now
I don't know.

1100
01:16:41,930 --> 01:16:44,230
Remember, all people can fall out of
love.

1101
01:16:45,070 --> 01:16:46,130
Husbands and wives.

1102
01:16:49,230 --> 01:16:50,230
He's a bum.

1103
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:55,580
He's a nice guy. He's making a fool of
himself because his hair is getting gray

1104
01:16:55,580 --> 01:16:57,040
and he'll never make the Supreme Court.

1105
01:16:58,320 --> 01:16:59,840
And she makes him feel young.

1106
01:17:02,940 --> 01:17:05,340
You're sure more understanding than I'd
be.

1107
01:17:06,860 --> 01:17:10,920
Yeah. And here I am. Lost my husband. I
don't have any children.

1108
01:17:12,060 --> 01:17:13,220
I've pretty much failed.

1109
01:17:13,820 --> 01:17:14,820
Oh, no.

1110
01:17:15,260 --> 01:17:16,880
No, you're a fine lawyer.

1111
01:17:17,860 --> 01:17:20,220
An attractive, strong woman.

1112
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,000
Strong's good?

1113
01:17:29,380 --> 01:17:30,380
Yeah.

1114
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:31,920
Oh, yeah.

1115
01:17:32,060 --> 01:17:33,060
Strong's good.

1116
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:43,960
You know, Dad, I took this case because
I think the man's innocent of the

1117
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:44,960
crime.

1118
01:17:47,780 --> 01:17:51,920
But really, I wanted a reason to stay
home for a while.

1119
01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:58,160
Yeah, I did.

1120
01:18:00,820 --> 01:18:02,380
I was looking for something, Dad.

1121
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:05,660
I was looking for you.

1122
01:18:13,900 --> 01:18:14,980
You found me.

1123
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:25,480
So what should I do?

1124
01:18:31,530 --> 01:18:32,530
have to stay here.

1125
01:18:33,970 --> 01:18:38,110
So rest up, sort things out.

1126
01:18:41,810 --> 01:18:47,650
Let me look after you like you'd look
after me if I were having a

1127
01:18:47,650 --> 01:18:49,810
bad time.

1128
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:06,960
to dad.

1129
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:12,160
I love you, Leanne.

1130
01:19:26,820 --> 01:19:31,580
Your Honor, my daughter has asked that I
apologize to the court on her behalf.

1131
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:32,898
So noted.

1132
01:19:32,900 --> 01:19:34,500
And with the court's permission,

1133
01:19:35,210 --> 01:19:39,110
She has asked and the defendant has
asked that I continue with the defense

1134
01:19:39,110 --> 01:19:40,029
this case.

1135
01:19:40,030 --> 01:19:41,970
Is that all right with you, Judge Eller?

1136
01:19:42,250 --> 01:19:43,250
Yes, Your Honor.

1137
01:19:43,370 --> 01:19:45,790
Okay, Mr. Matlock, what are we doing?

1138
01:19:46,730 --> 01:19:51,330
Defense will continue with the
examination of Police Chief Colin Young.

1139
01:19:51,730 --> 01:19:56,590
I trust you'll make no attempt to pursue
your daughter's ill -fated line of

1140
01:19:56,590 --> 01:19:57,970
questioning, Mr. Matlock?

1141
01:19:58,290 --> 01:19:59,590
Oh, my goodness, no.

1142
01:20:00,990 --> 01:20:03,490
Chief Young, come forward and take the
stand.

1143
01:20:09,290 --> 01:20:15,390
The state contends that because my
client was at the Brodsky residence, the

1144
01:20:15,390 --> 01:20:18,650
evening Abel was poisoned, that he
poisoned her.

1145
01:20:19,310 --> 01:20:26,110
But you were also seen at that residence
that night. And you left after my

1146
01:20:26,110 --> 01:20:29,130
client did. What were you doing there,
Chief Young?

1147
01:20:30,330 --> 01:20:34,490
I stopped by to see Leo.

1148
01:20:35,990 --> 01:20:37,790
And not, but nobody answered.

1149
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:40,080
So I left.

1150
01:20:41,300 --> 01:20:42,460
I never went inside.

1151
01:20:43,400 --> 01:20:47,580
How come you didn't tell any of the
investigating officers this? Because it

1152
01:20:47,580 --> 01:20:49,100
wasn't and still isn't relevant.

1153
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:54,380
If you weren't at the Brodsky residence,
where were you? Went back to my office.

1154
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:56,200
Worked.

1155
01:20:56,400 --> 01:21:01,800
Watched the evening news like I always
do. Got home sometime after seven.

1156
01:21:02,560 --> 01:21:06,520
You went back to your office and worked.

1157
01:21:07,020 --> 01:21:08,020
You positive?

1158
01:21:08,510 --> 01:21:14,590
Yes. How could you, when according to
your secretary and this receipt,

1159
01:21:14,750 --> 01:21:21,690
the Clean Sweep Carpet Company brought
their equipment into your office at

1160
01:21:21,690 --> 01:21:26,830
6 o 'clock and were there busy cleaning
your carpet till around 8 .30?

1161
01:21:30,510 --> 01:21:31,710
Want to try again?

1162
01:21:33,670 --> 01:21:37,270
Those workmen are prepared to testify
that you were...

1163
01:21:37,480 --> 01:21:39,660
nowhere near your office that night.

1164
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:46,420
When you went to see Leo and he wasn't
home, Ava was, wasn't she?

1165
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:49,580
And you stayed just long enough to kill
her, didn't you?

1166
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:53,800
No.

1167
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:57,740
Nobody answered.

1168
01:21:58,820 --> 01:22:00,440
I went to see Judd Taylor.

1169
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:04,140
Who's Judd Taylor?

1170
01:22:13,350 --> 01:22:15,210
Is there the right to recall this
witness?

1171
01:22:16,110 --> 01:22:17,650
The witness may step down.

1172
01:22:18,930 --> 01:22:20,150
We'll break for lunch.

1173
01:22:20,570 --> 01:22:23,350
This court is in recess until 2 p .m.

1174
01:22:25,010 --> 01:22:30,890
Well, we've got two and a half hours to
figure out who Judd Taylor is.

1175
01:22:34,330 --> 01:22:35,630
I'll tell you who he is.

1176
01:22:36,090 --> 01:22:38,190
He's a wiretapper. I put him away twice.

1177
01:22:39,950 --> 01:22:40,950
Oh.

1178
01:22:41,190 --> 01:22:42,290
In fact...

1179
01:22:42,510 --> 01:22:45,250
Chief Young probably paid Judd Taylor to
give him an alibi.

1180
01:22:46,150 --> 01:22:47,150
No.

1181
01:22:47,790 --> 01:22:52,030
Now, if he was going to pay, he would
have found somebody of some consequence,

1182
01:22:52,170 --> 01:22:53,250
not an ex -con.

1183
01:22:54,010 --> 01:22:56,490
You can bet Judd Taylor this is alibi.

1184
01:22:58,590 --> 01:22:59,810
Doesn't look good, cowboy.

1185
01:23:14,510 --> 01:23:18,410
Well, how do you know that Colin Young
didn't go to Ava's, kill her, and then

1186
01:23:18,410 --> 01:23:22,930
see his friend Judd Taylor? Because Judd
Taylor said they were together from

1187
01:23:22,930 --> 01:23:24,710
seven till nine. Well, then you're gonna
believe him?

1188
01:23:25,110 --> 01:23:26,870
Arthur, proof.

1189
01:23:27,290 --> 01:23:30,890
You know that. Until we have proof to
the contrary, we got to believe.

1190
01:23:33,490 --> 01:23:35,490
You got some nice stuff in here.

1191
01:23:35,950 --> 01:23:37,050
Thank you very much.

1192
01:23:38,550 --> 01:23:42,290
Well, if you didn't kill Ava...

1193
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:46,520
Then whoever did had to have planted
that poison in here. I keep this place

1194
01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:49,600
locked up tight, day and night. Even
when I go out back.

1195
01:23:49,920 --> 01:23:53,500
And will you stop accusing me? I'm not
accusing you. Yeah, you are.

1196
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:56,540
Do you have an alarm system?

1197
01:23:56,860 --> 01:23:59,100
No. But the police didn't find any signs
of forced entry.

1198
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:00,320
No.

1199
01:24:00,740 --> 01:24:02,500
Somebody had to get in here some way.

1200
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:11,740
You were the first person...

1201
01:24:12,240 --> 01:24:17,700
to be accused of your wife's murder. Is
that correct, Mr. Brodsky? Yes.

1202
01:24:18,060 --> 01:24:20,840
Would you please explain to the court
how that happened?

1203
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:29,720
Well, about a week before her death, I
began to suspect that she was cheating

1204
01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:32,420
me, so I hired a private investigator to
look into it.

1205
01:24:33,180 --> 01:24:37,940
And when he showed me the pictures of my
wife entering a motel room with Arthur

1206
01:24:37,940 --> 01:24:40,340
Eller, well, I just went crazy. I...

1207
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:45,140
Went home, I got my gun, and in a fit of
rage, I shot her while she was

1208
01:24:45,140 --> 01:24:46,140
sleeping.

1209
01:24:46,340 --> 01:24:47,880
At least I thought she was sleeping.

1210
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:53,700
When the police discovered that she'd
been poisoned and had died long before I

1211
01:24:53,700 --> 01:24:56,860
shot her, they released me and arrested
Arthur Eller.

1212
01:24:58,500 --> 01:25:04,060
And before that night, you had no idea
your wife was having an affair with my

1213
01:25:04,060 --> 01:25:06,260
client? No, I had no idea.

1214
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:10,260
So up until then, you had a normal...

1215
01:25:10,650 --> 01:25:11,650
Happy marriage.

1216
01:25:11,970 --> 01:25:13,110
Yes, that's right.

1217
01:25:13,390 --> 01:25:19,930
Well, would you explain why the lady who
comes in to clean your house, Margo

1218
01:25:19,930 --> 01:25:26,750
Church, is ready to testify that three
months before your wife died, you had

1219
01:25:26,750 --> 01:25:29,810
pretty well taken up residence in the
guest room?

1220
01:25:33,350 --> 01:25:38,310
Is that the way people act in a normal,
healthy marriage?

1221
01:25:41,379 --> 01:25:47,300
No, but... You knew about the affair all
that time, didn't you? For all that

1222
01:25:47,300 --> 01:25:48,300
three months?

1223
01:25:48,380 --> 01:25:55,280
No. But you didn't do anything until you
realized your wife knew something

1224
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:59,120
about you that could very well ruin you.

1225
01:26:02,440 --> 01:26:09,120
And so you pretended to shoot her in a
fit of rage and

1226
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:10,560
framed Arthur Eller.

1227
01:26:11,370 --> 01:26:17,210
so that no one would ever suspect that
you had already murdered her with

1228
01:26:17,210 --> 01:26:18,210
cyanide.

1229
01:26:18,910 --> 01:26:20,170
That's not true.

1230
01:26:20,590 --> 01:26:25,630
Your Honor, at this time, as we
discussed in chambers, I'd like to show

1231
01:26:25,630 --> 01:26:27,090
of the mayor's assassination.

1232
01:26:27,790 --> 01:26:29,610
Very well. Thank you.

1233
01:26:31,350 --> 01:26:32,350
Okay.

1234
01:26:32,710 --> 01:26:33,710
Go.

1235
01:26:34,910 --> 01:26:38,570
Now, this tape was made by Dwight
Hutchinson.

1236
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:41,240
at the Chun -Li Cafe.

1237
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:49,780
And there's something on this tape that
I don't think's been noticed before.

1238
01:26:50,140 --> 01:26:51,140
See there?

1239
01:26:51,620 --> 01:26:52,920
The mayor's down.

1240
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:56,960
There's the other fellow.

1241
01:26:57,460 --> 01:26:58,680
People milling around.

1242
01:27:00,340 --> 01:27:03,580
There's a cop. Now, wait a minute. Wait
a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,

1243
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:04,740
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

1244
01:27:05,480 --> 01:27:07,680
Watch this. Watch this. Watch this.

1245
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:13,040
Cops got him. Right there.

1246
01:27:14,140 --> 01:27:17,300
Right there. You see anything unusual
there?

1247
01:27:18,780 --> 01:27:23,580
No. Well, let me help you out. We'll
make it a little bigger.

1248
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:26,680
There. You recognize that woman?

1249
01:27:28,100 --> 01:27:30,320
No. How about now?

1250
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,840
That's your wife, Ava Brodsky, isn't it?

1251
01:27:49,180 --> 01:27:53,640
Somehow, she found out about the mayor's
assassination.

1252
01:27:54,220 --> 01:27:58,140
Why she didn't tell my client you were a
part of it, I don't know.

1253
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:01,320
This is a complete fabrication.

1254
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:02,640
Oh, no, it's not.

1255
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:03,960
My daughter believes.

1256
01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:10,540
That you killed Abel Brodsky and framed
Judge Yeller to get him off your

1257
01:28:10,540 --> 01:28:11,540
commission.

1258
01:28:11,660 --> 01:28:18,660
But you had a much deeper problem. Your
wife knew that you were part of that

1259
01:28:18,660 --> 01:28:22,440
assassination. Maybe she didn't have the
proof. Maybe that's why she didn't tell

1260
01:28:22,440 --> 01:28:23,440
my client.

1261
01:28:23,660 --> 01:28:24,980
But she got it.

1262
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:31,700
She made, about a week before she died,
several phone calls.

1263
01:28:32,940 --> 01:28:33,960
There's your phone, Jeff.

1264
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:39,720
And some of those calls were made to
Hilton Head, South Carolina, where you

1265
01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:44,540
bought that nice condominium and big
yacht last year. I believe you paid cash

1266
01:28:44,540 --> 01:28:47,740
for it. Yes, last year was a
particularly good year for me.

1267
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:54,740
She also called the county tax collector
down there, and

1268
01:28:54,740 --> 01:29:01,140
he sent her a copy of his copy of the
check that was used to pay your property

1269
01:29:01,140 --> 01:29:03,000
tax. He sent me a copy, too.

1270
01:29:03,340 --> 01:29:08,840
Will you please read to the court the
name of the man whose signature appears

1271
01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:09,840
the bottom?

1272
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:13,100
Matt Greenwood. Matt Greenwood.

1273
01:29:13,420 --> 01:29:19,880
Matt Greenwood was paying you and Police
Chief Colin Young off. No.

1274
01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:25,160
You were protecting him and his porno
ring and his use of minors.

1275
01:29:25,420 --> 01:29:28,980
If the mayor ever found out, you would
be ruined.

1276
01:29:30,020 --> 01:29:32,620
Not one word of this is true.

1277
01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:36,900
The problem you had was to get the
police to believe my client had poisoned

1278
01:29:36,900 --> 01:29:40,480
wife and to get the cyanide into his
house.

1279
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:42,300
The first part was easy.

1280
01:29:42,780 --> 01:29:47,120
You just went in the kitchen, found a
cup he had been using after one of their

1281
01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:49,700
rendezvous, put it where the police
could find it.

1282
01:29:49,980 --> 01:29:51,780
The second part was easy, too.

1283
01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:00,580
All you had to do was find your wife's
key ring.

1284
01:30:01,320 --> 01:30:06,120
And use the key my client had given her
to his house.

1285
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:09,240
I did not.

1286
01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:11,760
This is your wife's key ring, isn't it?

1287
01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:17,000
Yes. At this point, I'd like this key
ring entered into evidence.

1288
01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:24,180
Because this key to my client's house
has two

1289
01:30:24,180 --> 01:30:25,940
perfect fingerprints.

1290
01:30:27,980 --> 01:30:29,960
Obviously placed there by the...

1291
01:30:30,190 --> 01:30:31,490
Last person to use it.

1292
01:30:32,050 --> 01:30:34,070
Thumbprint and a forefinger.

1293
01:30:34,370 --> 01:30:39,830
And the person to whom those
fingerprints belong is you.

1294
01:31:02,540 --> 01:31:03,540
Court is now in session.

1295
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:05,600
The Honorable Michael Alden presiding.

1296
01:31:07,860 --> 01:31:09,280
Dad, good luck.

1297
01:31:09,740 --> 01:31:13,260
Come on up here. No, no, no. I need
somebody that's prettier than me.

1298
01:31:13,480 --> 01:31:15,360
As the jury reached a verdict.

1299
01:31:16,500 --> 01:31:17,740
We have, Your Honor.

1300
01:31:18,100 --> 01:31:20,260
We find the defendant not guilty.

1301
01:31:20,900 --> 01:31:22,740
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

1302
01:31:23,340 --> 01:31:24,660
You're excused.

1303
01:31:25,060 --> 01:31:26,600
This court is adjourned.

1304
01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:30,740
Well, what can I say?

1305
01:31:31,420 --> 01:31:35,820
If there's anything I can do... As a
matter of fact, you can pay my daughter

1306
01:31:35,820 --> 01:31:37,680
$150 ,000.

1307
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:40,560
Hang up your spurs and get off the
bench.

1308
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:43,600
Nice job.

1309
01:31:44,380 --> 01:31:45,380
Nice job.

1310
01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:48,140
I usually only have to say that to one
Matlock.

1311
01:31:48,500 --> 01:31:50,280
I don't know if I can take this.

1312
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:54,900
Julie, if you're not doing anything
later, why don't you come over to Dad's?

1313
01:31:55,080 --> 01:31:57,940
Conrad, Michelle, you'll both come too.
I'm cooking dinner.

1314
01:31:58,240 --> 01:31:59,940
Well, you don't have to do that. We
could just go out.

1315
01:32:00,430 --> 01:32:04,490
No, I want to be with my dad at his
house and have his friends over.
