00:01:34,695 --> 00:01:36,272
Community of Southgate
3
00:01:36,296 --> 00:01:39,960
was awakened just after midnight
once again by the sounds of sirens,
4
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:45,198
as firetrucks and ambulances rushed into
the area responding to a three-alarm fire.
5
00:01:45,339 --> 00:01:48,173
This latest fire involved
two single-family homes
6
00:01:48,308 --> 00:01:51,437
and the landmark Jones'
Tune and Fill service station
7
00:01:51,578 --> 00:01:53,740
at the corner of Main
and Green Streets.
8
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,577
Two single-family homes
were destroyed quickly
9
00:01:56,717 --> 00:02:00,119
as the fire spread from one
frame-and-shingle home to its neighbor.
10
00:02:00,253 --> 00:02:03,189
Both homes are considered
destroyed beyond repair.
11
00:02:03,323 --> 00:02:07,021
Sam and Lavinia Dumont, residents
of one of the destroyed homes,
12
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,188
said they woke to choking
smoke and crackling sounds of fire.
13
00:02:11,331 --> 00:02:13,425
Officials were relieved
to hear from the Dumonts,
14
00:02:13,567 --> 00:02:17,197
but their neighbors, John and Pat
McQueen and their three young children,
15
00:02:17,337 --> 00:02:19,272
were away visiting
relatives in Florida
16
00:02:19,406 --> 00:02:22,171
and therefore were not at risk in
the fire that destroyed their home.
17
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:27,304
Police and fire officials are once
again investigating for evidence of arson.
18
00:02:27,447 --> 00:02:29,882
The mayor's office has set
up a special number to call
19
00:02:30,017 --> 00:02:33,852
if you have any information about
this or the other Southgate fires.
20
00:02:33,987 --> 00:02:35,979
Your call will be
kept confidential,
21
00:02:36,123 --> 00:02:38,615
and there is a $10,000
reward for information
22
00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:41,752
leading to the arrest and
conviction of anyone involved.
23
00:02:41,895 --> 00:02:45,423
That number to call is 555-FIRE.
24
00:02:45,565 --> 00:02:47,056
Jones' Tune and Fill,
25
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,659
once considered for preservation
by the city's historical society,
26
00:02:50,804 --> 00:02:54,332
is now nothing more than a
pile of rubble and twisted steel.
27
00:02:54,474 --> 00:02:56,136
Its loss is considered a blow
28
00:02:56,276 --> 00:02:59,906
to the architectural, cultural,
and historical diversity of this city.
29
00:03:00,047 --> 00:03:02,983
While there were no
injuries in last night's fire,
30
00:03:03,116 --> 00:03:06,416
the anger and frayed nerves of the
remaining members of this community
31
00:03:06,553 --> 00:03:07,953
were plain to see.
32
00:03:25,906 --> 00:03:27,738
Oh, no.
33
00:03:29,876 --> 00:03:31,606
Good morning, Ben, Conrad.
34
00:03:31,745 --> 00:03:33,338
I thought you'd like to know.
35
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,607
What happened?
36
00:03:34,748 --> 00:03:35,748
Sleeping pills.
37
00:03:35,816 --> 00:03:38,911
Coroner's guessing she
took them about 8 last night.
38
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:40,714
He'll know more
after the autopsy.
39
00:03:40,854 --> 00:03:42,220
Did she leave a note?
40
00:03:42,355 --> 00:03:45,382
No. Looks like she just walked
in the door, poured herself a drink,
41
00:03:45,525 --> 00:03:47,426
downed some pills,
and passed out and died.
42
00:03:47,561 --> 00:03:48,961
It's my fault.
43
00:03:49,096 --> 00:03:50,394
What?
44
00:03:50,530 --> 00:03:53,079
If I had just gone
after her a little harder
45
00:03:53,103 --> 00:03:55,559
on the stand, this
wouldn't have happened.
46
00:03:55,702 --> 00:03:56,931
You can't know that, Ben.
47
00:03:58,638 --> 00:04:00,834
What's Harvey
Kordell doing here?
48
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:04,434
He's her lawyer...
was her lawyer.
49
00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:05,655
He's the one who found her.
50
00:04:05,679 --> 00:04:09,081
Yesterday, when she left the
stand, she went straight to him
51
00:04:09,216 --> 00:04:12,345
and explained her situation to
him and asked for his assessment.
52
00:04:12,486 --> 00:04:14,853
He said that he told her
she was in serious trouble.
53
00:04:14,988 --> 00:04:16,332
He was going to go
to court with her today.
54
00:04:16,356 --> 00:04:19,884
Did she confess to
killing Doug Levitt?
55
00:04:20,026 --> 00:04:24,259
Now, come on, Ben, even if she
had, you know you can't use it in court.
56
00:04:24,397 --> 00:04:25,397
Lieutenant Brooks?
57
00:04:25,499 --> 00:04:27,695
- I'll catch up with you all later.
- Yeah.
58
00:04:28,702 --> 00:04:30,702
We've still got the guy
who sold her the detonator.
59
00:04:30,804 --> 00:04:33,603
We don't know why
Diane killed Doug Levitt.
60
00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:36,039
How can I plant
the seed of doubt
61
00:04:36,176 --> 00:04:42,207
if we don't know that her motive
was at least as strong as our client's?
62
00:04:50,791 --> 00:04:54,785
I'll be dag-goned... Flintrock.
63
00:04:54,928 --> 00:04:57,022
Never heard of it.
64
00:04:57,164 --> 00:05:00,896
Over 40 years old...
a very rare scotch.
65
00:05:01,034 --> 00:05:04,027
Since when did you
become an expert on scotch?
66
00:05:04,171 --> 00:05:07,869
Nelson Addleson told me.
67
00:05:08,008 --> 00:05:09,442
He drinks it.
68
00:05:09,576 --> 00:05:14,310
Your Honor, I move that all charges
against my client be dismissed.
69
00:05:14,447 --> 00:05:19,476
We have the sworn statement of the
man who sold the detonator to Diane Becker.
70
00:05:19,619 --> 00:05:21,588
We know who made the bomb.
71
00:05:21,721 --> 00:05:26,716
We have the fact that, knowing that she
was about to be exposed as a murderer,
72
00:05:26,860 --> 00:05:28,692
she went home and
committed suicide.
73
00:05:28,829 --> 00:05:31,389
Clearly, my client is
innocent and she is guilty.
74
00:05:31,531 --> 00:05:34,023
Diane Becker might as well
have signed a confession.
75
00:05:34,167 --> 00:05:37,831
Your Honor, to say that
Mr. Matlock is overstating his case
76
00:05:37,971 --> 00:05:40,338
would be a gross understatement.
77
00:05:40,473 --> 00:05:44,137
Despite all the cartwheels
he's been turning,
78
00:05:44,277 --> 00:05:46,872
my case against
Mr. Finley remains intact.
79
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:49,346
We have the tire tracks
from Mr. Finley's car,
80
00:05:49,482 --> 00:05:51,027
which were found at
the scene of the murder.
81
00:05:51,051 --> 00:05:53,020
I'm not turning cartwheels.
82
00:05:53,153 --> 00:05:54,621
I've been working on this thing.
83
00:05:54,754 --> 00:05:56,314
Did you know that
Diane Becker went out
84
00:05:56,423 --> 00:05:59,086
and rented a car exactly like
my client's that very afternoon?
85
00:05:59,226 --> 00:06:00,319
Did you know that?
86
00:06:00,460 --> 00:06:02,038
We have the detonator
found in his garage.
87
00:06:02,062 --> 00:06:03,724
She could have
dumped it there any time.
88
00:06:03,864 --> 00:06:05,730
And we have the
testimony of five people
89
00:06:05,866 --> 00:06:09,325
who all said that Bill Finley was mad as
hell at Doug Levitt for getting him fired.
90
00:06:09,469 --> 00:06:13,069
And we have... Motion denied.
91
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:14,367
But, Your Honor...
92
00:06:14,507 --> 00:06:18,342
But I will grant you a
one-day recess, Mr. Matlock,
93
00:06:18,478 --> 00:06:21,380
inasmuch as your key
witness is no longer available.
94
00:06:21,514 --> 00:06:24,348
I'll need five days,
Your Honor, at least.
95
00:06:24,484 --> 00:06:26,214
Three days.
96
00:06:26,353 --> 00:06:31,849
This court will be in recess
until 9 a.m. on Friday morning.
97
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:34,892
Nice try.
98
00:06:46,773 --> 00:06:49,436
Ben, can we stop now?
It's after 2. I'm starving.
99
00:06:49,576 --> 00:06:51,841
I can't stop. I've
got to get this done.
100
00:06:51,978 --> 00:06:55,005
I've only got three days to
work on Bill Finley's case.
101
00:06:55,148 --> 00:06:56,810
I'm still working on the case.
102
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:58,043
I'm making progress.
103
00:06:58,184 --> 00:06:59,862
I'm getting in tight
with the gang, all right?
104
00:06:59,886 --> 00:07:02,720
Dag-gone. There's
another car stopped.
105
00:07:02,856 --> 00:07:05,849
How did he see that stop
sign with that bush in front of it?
106
00:07:05,992 --> 00:07:08,325
Maybe he saw a little red,
and he knew it was a stop sign.
107
00:07:08,461 --> 00:07:09,690
I'm not paying that ticket.
108
00:07:09,829 --> 00:07:11,855
How much did that camera cost?
109
00:07:11,998 --> 00:07:13,057
It's a rental.
110
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:14,199
Expensive, huh?
111
00:07:14,334 --> 00:07:15,334
Some.
112
00:07:15,402 --> 00:07:17,303
So you're into this
for a lot of cash now.
113
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:19,599
You've got two cameras,
you've got a tripod
114
00:07:19,739 --> 00:07:22,174
and those boots you're
wrecking in the mud now.
115
00:07:24,344 --> 00:07:26,711
Oh, no!
116
00:07:34,354 --> 00:07:36,482
And now you wrecked your jacket.
117
00:07:36,623 --> 00:07:37,921
Argh!
118
00:07:38,058 --> 00:07:40,357
Ben, you've lost
perspective. Stop.
119
00:07:40,493 --> 00:07:42,359
I'm not paying that ticket.
120
00:07:42,495 --> 00:07:44,191
Forget it.
121
00:08:15,929 --> 00:08:17,329
Hey, what are you doing, man?
122
00:08:24,237 --> 00:08:26,263
You weren't in jail.
123
00:08:26,406 --> 00:08:28,170
You killed my brother.
124
00:08:28,308 --> 00:08:30,243
Yaah!
125
00:08:52,465 --> 00:08:55,060
Come back here again,
boy, and you'll be dead.
126
00:08:55,201 --> 00:08:56,567
You got that?
127
00:09:07,614 --> 00:09:08,741
Who the hell are you?
128
00:09:08,882 --> 00:09:10,714
I'm not sure, man.
129
00:09:16,589 --> 00:09:17,989
- What are you doing?
- Research.
130
00:09:18,124 --> 00:09:19,124
On what?
131
00:09:19,192 --> 00:09:22,128
Addleson Enterprises. I
thought I told you to stay at home.
132
00:09:22,262 --> 00:09:23,730
I'm going nuts there, Ben.
133
00:09:23,863 --> 00:09:26,162
Well, work on your book.
134
00:09:26,299 --> 00:09:28,029
I can't concentrate.
135
00:09:28,168 --> 00:09:30,603
Well, meditate or something.
136
00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:32,171
Oh, that stuff's a crock.
137
00:09:32,305 --> 00:09:34,035
I mean, it's fine when
your biggest problem
138
00:09:34,174 --> 00:09:37,941
is worrying about going on
camera with food stuck in your teeth,
139
00:09:38,078 --> 00:09:41,105
but when you're facing the
prospect of going to prison for life,
140
00:09:41,247 --> 00:09:45,241
somehow sitting around with your
fingers in circles just doesn't cut it.
141
00:09:53,726 --> 00:09:55,388
Ben Matlock.
142
00:09:55,528 --> 00:09:58,054
You are? How come?
143
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,996
No, it doesn't.
144
00:10:03,136 --> 00:10:04,798
Yeah. Yeah. Well, thanks.
145
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:07,237
Thanks. Yeah. Keep in touch.
146
00:10:07,373 --> 00:10:08,602
Yeah.
147
00:10:11,411 --> 00:10:12,606
What?
148
00:10:12,745 --> 00:10:16,238
Bob Brooks, Homicide.
149
00:10:16,382 --> 00:10:21,286
He said the police are stepping up their
investigation into Diane Becker's death.
150
00:10:21,421 --> 00:10:23,947
They're no longer
certain it was a suicide.
151
00:10:24,090 --> 00:10:25,456
Why not?
152
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:32,760
They just found out that on her way
home from talking with her lawyer,
153
00:10:32,899 --> 00:10:36,233
she stopped by a travel agent and
bought a one-way ticket to Brazil.
154
00:10:36,369 --> 00:10:39,533
Why would she do that if she was
just going to go home and kill herself?
155
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:43,173
It doesn't make sense, does it?
156
00:10:52,252 --> 00:10:55,154
And then the guy that Nelson
Addleson gave the money to
157
00:10:55,288 --> 00:10:56,984
is known on the
streets as Reggie.
158
00:10:57,123 --> 00:10:59,183
Apparently, he's some
kind of social worker...
159
00:10:59,325 --> 00:11:01,658
Does a lot of work with gangs.
160
00:11:01,794 --> 00:11:05,231
And this Reggie gives the
money to the gang members?
161
00:11:05,365 --> 00:11:06,365
Right.
162
00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:07,762
And they immediately went out,
163
00:11:07,901 --> 00:11:09,995
and they fire bombed
this house in Southgate.
164
00:11:10,136 --> 00:11:11,297
Anybody hurt?
165
00:11:11,437 --> 00:11:13,668
No. Luckily, nobody was home.
166
00:11:17,544 --> 00:11:19,308
Now there's another car stopped.
167
00:11:19,445 --> 00:11:22,005
How can he see that sign
with that bush in front of it?
168
00:11:22,148 --> 00:11:27,314
Because I told you, they see a little
red, and they figure it's a stop sign.
169
00:11:27,453 --> 00:11:32,721
Maybe the wind blew that bush
away from that sign a little bit
170
00:11:32,859 --> 00:11:34,919
from where it was
when I got stopped.
171
00:11:35,061 --> 00:11:36,061
I'll fix it.
172
00:11:39,933 --> 00:11:41,026
Yeah.
173
00:11:41,167 --> 00:11:42,407
You're tampering with evidence.
174
00:11:42,468 --> 00:11:44,096
I'm not tampering
with the evidence.
175
00:11:44,237 --> 00:11:46,433
I'm just putting it
back the way it was.
176
00:11:48,508 --> 00:11:49,532
If you move the bush...
177
00:11:49,676 --> 00:11:51,474
I'm not tampering
with the evidence.
178
00:11:54,881 --> 00:11:57,715
My friend Hattie
down at City Hall said
179
00:11:57,850 --> 00:12:03,016
that Nelson Addleson's been buying
a lot of land down at Southgate lately.
180
00:12:03,156 --> 00:12:06,558
He gets it real cheap because
everybody's so anxious to sell.
181
00:12:06,693 --> 00:12:10,221
A lot of gang-related
violence down there lately.
182
00:12:10,363 --> 00:12:11,524
There, that's better.
183
00:12:11,664 --> 00:12:14,224
What I saw last night was
part of real estate scam?
184
00:12:14,367 --> 00:12:17,633
Yeah. I'll just get some of
this lower stuff in a little closer.
185
00:12:17,770 --> 00:12:19,500
Yeah. Uh-huh.
186
00:12:19,639 --> 00:12:24,168
Oh, Ben, I hate to be the one to tell you,
but you're working in poison ivy there.
187
00:12:28,982 --> 00:12:30,507
There's no justice.
188
00:12:31,884 --> 00:12:35,184
Come on. Let me get
something put on it.
189
00:12:35,321 --> 00:12:38,780
Okay, get in the car.
190
00:12:38,925 --> 00:12:40,393
We forgot the camera.
191
00:12:40,526 --> 00:12:41,789
Oh.
192
00:12:56,409 --> 00:12:58,469
That's all.
193
00:12:58,611 --> 00:13:00,409
He didn't see the sign.
194
00:13:10,390 --> 00:13:11,858
Ahem.
195
00:13:11,991 --> 00:13:14,256
Mr. Matlock, good
to see you again.
196
00:13:14,394 --> 00:13:17,626
- What's wrong with your hand?
- Oh, a little poison ivy.
197
00:13:17,764 --> 00:13:21,257
It's nice of you to have lunch
with me on such short notice.
198
00:13:21,401 --> 00:13:23,893
Well, it's a slow day again.
199
00:13:24,037 --> 00:13:25,471
This recession's a killer.
200
00:13:25,605 --> 00:13:26,732
- Itching?
- No.
201
00:13:26,873 --> 00:13:28,205
Yes, gentlemen?
202
00:13:29,342 --> 00:13:31,072
- Join me?
- No thanks.
203
00:13:31,210 --> 00:13:33,679
- Glass of iced tea.
- All right.
204
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:36,248
Is that Flintrock?
205
00:13:36,382 --> 00:13:38,283
This? Oh, no.
206
00:13:38,418 --> 00:13:40,178
They don't stock that
here. It's hard to get.
207
00:13:40,286 --> 00:13:44,519
That's why I was kind of surprised to
see a bottle of it at Diane Becker's house.
208
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:46,489
Did you give it to her?
209
00:13:46,626 --> 00:13:47,650
Who?
210
00:13:47,794 --> 00:13:51,287
Diane Becker, the news
anchor over at WDRN.
211
00:13:51,431 --> 00:13:54,765
That woman that committed
suicide? No, I never met her.
212
00:13:54,901 --> 00:13:59,532
Oh, I thought since Doug Levitt
used to produce her news program
213
00:13:59,672 --> 00:14:01,140
that maybe he
introduced you to her.
214
00:14:01,274 --> 00:14:02,572
No, he never did.
215
00:14:04,344 --> 00:14:07,473
How about Reggie?
Where did you meet him?
216
00:14:07,613 --> 00:14:08,613
Reggie?
217
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:13,346
That enterprising young man you gave
all that money to on the street yesterday.
218
00:14:15,555 --> 00:14:17,080
You've been spying on me.
219
00:14:17,223 --> 00:14:19,385
Yeah. Uh, sure.
220
00:14:20,426 --> 00:14:25,228
You've been conspiring with
Reggie and his gang member friends
221
00:14:25,365 --> 00:14:30,827
to force people to sell their
property in Southgate, haven't you?
222
00:14:30,970 --> 00:14:34,304
Mr. Matlock, that's
one hell of a story.
223
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,639
But the truth is I met
Reggie at a charity banquet.
224
00:14:38,778 --> 00:14:42,647
I liked what he had to say about his
work with the inner-city gang members,
225
00:14:42,782 --> 00:14:44,444
and I made him a donation.
226
00:14:44,584 --> 00:14:46,849
And you have a
problem with that?
227
00:14:49,822 --> 00:14:51,051
Mr. Matlock?
228
00:14:51,190 --> 00:14:55,423
Oh, well, I thought Reggie was
helping you purchase land cheap
229
00:14:55,561 --> 00:15:00,932
so that when the city got ready for
their big renovation program downtown,
230
00:15:01,067 --> 00:15:03,536
why, you'd have the
land that they needed.
231
00:15:03,669 --> 00:15:06,434
You'd make a
fortune, Mr. Addleson.
232
00:15:06,572 --> 00:15:08,666
What an imagination.
233
00:15:08,808 --> 00:15:13,872
That's what Diane was drinking when she
took all those sleeping pills... Flintrock.
234
00:15:15,481 --> 00:15:19,543
Well, if you're going to commit
suicide, you may as well go in style.
235
00:15:19,685 --> 00:15:20,685
Yeah.
236
00:15:22,188 --> 00:15:25,522
The police are no
longer sure it was suicide.
237
00:15:25,658 --> 00:15:29,493
They think it may
have been murder.
238
00:15:29,629 --> 00:15:32,565
An irate boyfriend?
239
00:15:32,698 --> 00:15:34,189
They're not sure.
240
00:15:34,333 --> 00:15:38,634
Me, I think it had something
to do with that false information
241
00:15:38,771 --> 00:15:43,732
that she accidentally gave out
over the air about a month ago.
242
00:15:43,876 --> 00:15:48,871
You made a fortune selling land
that was next to worthless, remember?
243
00:15:49,015 --> 00:15:51,484
We've been through
this before, Mr. Matlock.
244
00:15:51,617 --> 00:15:54,849
But only Doug Levitt was dead
then. Now Diane's dead, too.
245
00:15:54,987 --> 00:15:57,456
And you think I'm a suspect?
246
00:15:57,590 --> 00:16:00,424
Well, maybe the three
of you were in cahoots.
247
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,156
Maybe Doug Levitt got out of
line and you and Diane killed him.
248
00:16:04,297 --> 00:16:06,630
And then maybe you killed Diane
249
00:16:06,766 --> 00:16:10,203
because you realized how close I
was coming to breaking her down.
250
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:17,766
The night Diane died, I was at the
charity banquet that I told you about,
251
00:16:17,910 --> 00:16:22,746
sponsored by the Policemen's
Association, from 7:30 to 10:00.
252
00:16:22,882 --> 00:16:26,444
I was sitting at a table
surrounded by policemen.
253
00:16:26,586 --> 00:16:27,747
How's that for an alibi?
254
00:16:27,887 --> 00:16:29,185
Very good.
255
00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:31,550
Thanks for the drink.
256
00:16:46,005 --> 00:16:47,405
We're alone.
257
00:16:48,875 --> 00:16:50,309
What the hell's going on?
258
00:16:52,111 --> 00:16:55,548
Bill Finley's lawyer,
Ben Matlock.
259
00:16:55,681 --> 00:16:58,651
I just found out he's
been having me tailed.
260
00:16:58,784 --> 00:17:00,047
Why would he want to do that?
261
00:17:00,186 --> 00:17:04,590
Because he thinks that I'm involved
with your murder... and Diane's, too.
262
00:17:05,992 --> 00:17:07,620
Diane committed suicide.
263
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,059
Well, apparently, the
police don't think so.
264
00:17:12,231 --> 00:17:15,463
- I think I'll leave town for a while.
- Oh, no.
265
00:17:15,601 --> 00:17:16,660
No, you won't.
266
00:17:16,802 --> 00:17:19,271
You want your share of the
20 million, you stay in town.
267
00:17:19,405 --> 00:17:20,930
Why?
268
00:17:21,073 --> 00:17:22,268
Because I need you.
269
00:17:22,408 --> 00:17:24,502
- For what?
- To deliver some money.
270
00:17:24,644 --> 00:17:26,510
Reggie's buddies want a raise.
271
00:17:26,646 --> 00:17:27,739
The hell with them.
272
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:28,880
Hey, listen to me, Doug.
273
00:17:29,015 --> 00:17:33,077
Four more cashouts and we've
got two square blocks in our pocket.
274
00:17:33,219 --> 00:17:36,587
Now, I can't deliver the money, not
with Matlock breathing down my neck.
275
00:17:36,722 --> 00:17:39,123
It will take you
all of 20 seconds.
276
00:17:39,258 --> 00:17:42,592
What are you worried
about? You're already dead.
277
00:17:42,728 --> 00:17:44,629
Remember?
278
00:17:55,241 --> 00:17:57,441
- Yo, man, what you going to do?
- School is in session.
279
00:17:57,510 --> 00:18:00,002
- Then do it, man.
- Bye-bye, yellow ball.
280
00:18:08,254 --> 00:18:09,688
Yeah! Whoo!
281
00:18:09,822 --> 00:18:11,791
- Yes.
- That's what I'm talking about.
282
00:18:11,924 --> 00:18:13,620
Tuck-type magic.
283
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:16,194
Hey, Tuck, who's that dude
over there with Reggie, man?
284
00:18:16,329 --> 00:18:18,730
- You ever seen him before?
- Catch you.
285
00:18:18,864 --> 00:18:21,732
Yo, man, don't sweat that.
286
00:18:21,867 --> 00:18:23,529
So what's going on, Tucker?
287
00:18:23,669 --> 00:18:26,138
Business, homes. That's all.
288
00:18:26,272 --> 00:18:28,116
You ain't got nothing against
making a little money, do you?
289
00:18:28,140 --> 00:18:30,006
Course not.
290
00:18:30,142 --> 00:18:31,667
How about raising a little hell?
291
00:18:33,179 --> 00:18:34,408
I like that too.
292
00:18:34,547 --> 00:18:37,016
You ever do them
both at the same time?
293
00:18:37,149 --> 00:18:39,778
No.
294
00:18:39,919 --> 00:18:42,650
You will tonight, my man.
295
00:18:42,788 --> 00:18:44,654
Ha ha. Yeah.
296
00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:46,816
Yeah, you will tonight.
297
00:18:46,959 --> 00:18:49,258
- Now shoot.
- I am going to shoot.
298
00:18:50,363 --> 00:18:51,524
Get it on, man. Let's go.
299
00:18:51,664 --> 00:18:54,224
- Let's do it, man.
- Have a little tight match going, man.
300
00:19:00,239 --> 00:19:01,673
- Hi, how are you doing?
- Fine.
301
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:02,866
Lovely dog.
302
00:19:53,426 --> 00:19:54,587
Police!
303
00:19:59,198 --> 00:20:00,222
He's not here.
304
00:20:00,366 --> 00:20:04,360
Come on out of
there! Very slowly.
305
00:20:49,014 --> 00:20:50,539
Blow this joint up, G.
306
00:20:50,683 --> 00:20:52,208
Yeah, yeah, let's go!
307
00:21:08,467 --> 00:21:09,935
You get paid for this?
308
00:21:10,069 --> 00:21:12,004
Yeah. Sweet deal, ain't it?
309
00:21:12,138 --> 00:21:13,663
Ha ha ha.
310
00:21:13,806 --> 00:21:17,106
Yeah, G.
311
00:21:17,243 --> 00:21:18,609
Yo, let's bust up.
312
00:21:29,088 --> 00:21:30,852
Hey! Hey!
313
00:21:40,766 --> 00:21:43,565
Get up out of there.
314
00:21:43,702 --> 00:21:45,967
Get out of the car!
315
00:21:46,105 --> 00:21:47,505
How did they get
here so fast, man?
316
00:21:47,606 --> 00:21:49,666
- Let's go.
- We didn't do nothing.
317
00:21:49,809 --> 00:21:50,868
Move over there.
318
00:21:51,010 --> 00:21:52,171
Hey, what's up, man?
319
00:21:52,311 --> 00:21:54,940
Get over there. Get over there
and put your hands on the car.
320
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,278
Stand very steady, gentlemen.
Don't make this your last day on earth.
321
00:22:02,254 --> 00:22:04,018
You were lucky they let you go.
322
00:22:04,156 --> 00:22:06,591
If I were the D.A., I'd have
thrown the book at you.
323
00:22:06,725 --> 00:22:08,421
Come on, Ben, I was
just looking around.
324
00:22:08,561 --> 00:22:10,257
You were trespassing
325
00:22:10,396 --> 00:22:13,423
and in the house of the very
man you're accused of murdering.
326
00:22:13,566 --> 00:22:16,400
That's not smart,
Bill. That's not smart.
327
00:22:16,535 --> 00:22:17,559
But I found a clue.
328
00:22:17,703 --> 00:22:21,196
When are you going to get it through
your thick skull that you're not a cop?
329
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:23,036
You're not an investigator.
330
00:22:23,175 --> 00:22:24,768
You're not even a good reporter.
331
00:22:24,910 --> 00:22:26,674
Is that what you think?
332
00:22:26,812 --> 00:22:28,747
Hey. Isn't that...
333
00:22:28,881 --> 00:22:30,315
So you found a clue? Good.
334
00:22:30,449 --> 00:22:32,975
Let's go to the pancake house,
and you can tell me all about it.
335
00:22:43,462 --> 00:22:44,462
Hey, Ben.
336
00:22:44,597 --> 00:22:45,326
In here.
337
00:22:45,464 --> 00:22:47,660
You're just in time.
338
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:53,262
Nothing like a little eggs and
potatoes and bacon and toast
339
00:22:53,405 --> 00:22:55,772
after a hard night
in the slammer.
340
00:22:57,376 --> 00:22:58,901
You look awful.
341
00:22:59,044 --> 00:23:01,980
I have a headache,
and I can't imagine why.
342
00:23:02,114 --> 00:23:06,643
After a night in the tank with
37 criminals, I should feel great.
343
00:23:06,785 --> 00:23:09,880
Yeah, well, sit
down there and eat.
344
00:23:10,022 --> 00:23:12,821
Who paid your bail? Reggie?
345
00:23:12,958 --> 00:23:16,986
Yeah. One phone call, and he
was right there, cash in hand.
346
00:23:17,129 --> 00:23:18,563
You were right on the money
347
00:23:18,697 --> 00:23:21,758
about those gang members
getting paid to terrorize Southgate.
348
00:23:21,901 --> 00:23:23,529
By Nelson Addleson?
349
00:23:23,669 --> 00:23:25,604
Yeah, but the only
thing they know
350
00:23:25,738 --> 00:23:29,641
is that somebody pays
Reggie, and Reggie pays them.
351
00:23:30,743 --> 00:23:32,371
Ben, do you have any aspirin?
352
00:23:32,511 --> 00:23:34,480
Yeah. it's, uh...
353
00:23:36,982 --> 00:23:39,383
There's no way any of those
guys are going to rat on Reggie,
354
00:23:39,518 --> 00:23:41,817
so I don't know what our
next move is going to be.
355
00:23:43,422 --> 00:23:46,449
Oh, Ben. I got to have some.
356
00:23:46,592 --> 00:23:48,220
- What, it's empty?
- Yes.
357
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:50,556
- Hey, Ben!
- In here.
358
00:23:50,696 --> 00:23:52,358
Oh, great.
359
00:23:52,498 --> 00:23:56,060
Reporting to us live from
the ozone layer, it's Bill Finley.
360
00:23:57,636 --> 00:23:58,695
Morning.
361
00:23:59,838 --> 00:24:01,807
Hey, you're out of jail.
362
00:24:01,941 --> 00:24:03,466
That's great.
363
00:24:03,609 --> 00:24:06,773
Ben told me how you
infiltrated that gang.
364
00:24:06,912 --> 00:24:08,471
Scary stuff.
365
00:24:08,614 --> 00:24:11,049
I went undercover once.
366
00:24:12,117 --> 00:24:13,813
What did you pretend
to be? A reporter?
367
00:24:15,621 --> 00:24:17,214
Ben, did you check
out that dentist?
368
00:24:17,356 --> 00:24:21,657
Bill, it's not even
8:30 in the morning.
369
00:24:21,794 --> 00:24:23,034
You haven't checked it out yet?
370
00:24:23,062 --> 00:24:24,462
Checked out what?
371
00:24:25,698 --> 00:24:29,465
Two days before he died,
Doug made a dentist appointment
372
00:24:29,601 --> 00:24:32,503
with somebody who
wasn't his dentist.
373
00:24:32,638 --> 00:24:34,266
What is he talking about?
374
00:24:34,406 --> 00:24:36,671
Doug used the same
dentist for years.
375
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:38,038
He swore by him.
376
00:24:38,177 --> 00:24:41,944
In fact, one of the few decent things
he ever did was turn me on to the guy.
377
00:24:42,081 --> 00:24:45,518
And just before he died, he made
an appointment with somebody else.
378
00:24:45,651 --> 00:24:48,587
I mean, why would he do something
like that... suddenly switch dentists?
379
00:24:48,721 --> 00:24:49,721
It doesn't make sense.
380
00:24:49,855 --> 00:24:52,518
What's the name
of this new dentist?
381
00:24:52,658 --> 00:24:54,092
I told you last night.
382
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,356
- No, you didn't.
- Are you sure?
383
00:24:58,364 --> 00:25:00,004
Bill, what's the name
of the new dentist?
384
00:25:04,403 --> 00:25:05,894
I don't remember.
385
00:25:17,349 --> 00:25:18,749
We'll be just a minute.
386
00:25:20,853 --> 00:25:24,654
It's on his desk calendar
over here on the table.
387
00:25:26,291 --> 00:25:28,453
- Where are you going?
- To get some aspirin.
388
00:25:28,594 --> 00:25:30,563
Thomberg... that's
the new dentist's name.
389
00:25:30,696 --> 00:25:34,633
The name of the guy he
used to go to is McClure.
390
00:25:34,767 --> 00:25:36,360
Or is it McCoy?
391
00:25:53,685 --> 00:25:55,153
Thanks, Bob.
392
00:25:55,287 --> 00:25:56,550
I appreciate it.
393
00:25:57,623 --> 00:26:02,152
Dr. Thomberg supplied the dental records
the police used to identify Doug Levitt.
394
00:26:02,294 --> 00:26:03,421
His new dentist.
395
00:26:03,562 --> 00:26:07,522
He was the only dentist in his
Rolodex, so people do change dentists.
396
00:26:07,666 --> 00:26:10,261
Ben, when we were here before,
397
00:26:10,402 --> 00:26:12,180
this bottle of blood pressure
medicine was full, right?
398
00:26:12,204 --> 00:26:13,204
Yeah.
399
00:26:13,272 --> 00:26:14,706
It's empty.
400
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:15,840
Did you...
401
00:26:15,908 --> 00:26:19,367
What would I want with
Doug's blood pressure pills?
402
00:26:23,048 --> 00:26:24,482
You don't suppose...
403
00:26:35,094 --> 00:26:38,155
I need to speak to
Dr. Thomberg. It's an emergency.
404
00:26:38,297 --> 00:26:39,356
- What's going on?
- Shh!
405
00:26:41,467 --> 00:26:42,594
Doctor?
406
00:26:42,734 --> 00:26:45,067
My name is Ben
Matlock. I'm an attorney.
407
00:26:45,204 --> 00:26:48,834
I represent the man who's
accused of killing Doug Levitt.
408
00:26:48,974 --> 00:26:52,308
I understand you did some
work on him just before he died.
409
00:26:55,180 --> 00:26:56,773
Really?
410
00:26:56,915 --> 00:27:00,647
He looked like he hadn't
seen a dentist in five years?
411
00:27:00,786 --> 00:27:02,414
Doug? Yes, he had.
412
00:27:02,554 --> 00:27:04,182
Doug Levitt was what?
413
00:27:04,323 --> 00:27:08,784
About 5'11", 170 pounds,
brown hair, mustache.
414
00:27:08,927 --> 00:27:10,623
Does that sound
about right to you?
415
00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:16,859
The man who was with
him looked like that?
416
00:27:19,204 --> 00:27:23,574
Doctor, what kind of work
did you do for Mr. Levitt?
417
00:27:23,709 --> 00:27:27,271
$1,200 in bridge work?
418
00:27:29,314 --> 00:27:31,249
Oh. He paid cash.
419
00:27:31,383 --> 00:27:32,976
We have dental insurance.
420
00:27:33,118 --> 00:27:36,213
Bill. It wasn't Doug.
421
00:27:40,526 --> 00:27:42,893
Nope. I ain't selling.
422
00:27:43,028 --> 00:27:44,973
Mr. Foster, you're not
going to get a better offer.
423
00:27:44,997 --> 00:27:46,021
I ain't interested.
424
00:27:46,165 --> 00:27:48,259
Everybody in the
neighborhood is selling.
425
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,302
Well, I'm not. Look, how
many times do I got to tell you?
426
00:27:51,436 --> 00:27:52,734
This is my home.
427
00:27:52,871 --> 00:27:55,670
It's been my home for 11 years,
and it's going to stay that way.
428
00:27:55,807 --> 00:27:58,606
Even after what
happened last night?
429
00:27:58,744 --> 00:28:01,839
I've had to deal with garbage
everywhere I've ever lived.
430
00:28:03,315 --> 00:28:04,647
You're wasting your time.
431
00:28:04,783 --> 00:28:08,982
Well, if you change
your mind, give us a call.
432
00:28:28,140 --> 00:28:29,267
Ben Matlock.
433
00:28:29,408 --> 00:28:33,175
Mr. Matlock? He was here.
434
00:28:52,598 --> 00:28:54,191
Ben Matlock?
435
00:28:54,333 --> 00:28:55,926
Judge Katz.
436
00:28:56,068 --> 00:28:59,766
I certainly didn't
expect to see you here.
437
00:28:59,905 --> 00:29:05,071
Well, I didn't expect to see you
here in traffic court, Judge Katz.
438
00:29:05,210 --> 00:29:08,908
Just filling in,
Mr. Matlock. Just filling in.
439
00:29:10,449 --> 00:29:11,610
Where's your client?
440
00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:15,710
I'd like to see who's paying
your price to defend a traffic ticket.
441
00:29:15,854 --> 00:29:18,824
Ahem. I'm defending
myself, Your Honor.
442
00:29:18,957 --> 00:29:20,653
I'm the one who got the ticket.
443
00:29:20,792 --> 00:29:24,388
Well... And you're pleading?
444
00:29:24,529 --> 00:29:26,259
Not guilty.
445
00:29:26,398 --> 00:29:27,957
Okay.
446
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:30,160
Here we go.
447
00:29:30,302 --> 00:29:33,761
An interesting start to my day.
448
00:29:33,905 --> 00:29:36,568
Let's hear from the officer.
449
00:29:42,047 --> 00:29:45,779
He told me he didn't see the
stop sign, so I wrote him a ticket.
450
00:29:45,917 --> 00:29:49,183
Anything to add, Sergeant?
451
00:29:49,321 --> 00:29:50,345
Yes, sir.
452
00:29:50,489 --> 00:29:55,291
I could see that that stop sign was
partly obscured by that little bush,
453
00:29:55,427 --> 00:29:57,419
but I could still tell
it was a stop sign.
454
00:29:57,562 --> 00:29:59,724
Now, wait a minute, Your Honor.
455
00:29:59,865 --> 00:30:02,699
I'm just driving along at 35.
456
00:30:02,834 --> 00:30:04,769
I did not see the stop sign.
457
00:30:04,903 --> 00:30:08,635
I saw the bush, but I
did not see the stop sign.
458
00:30:08,774 --> 00:30:10,140
I see.
459
00:30:10,275 --> 00:30:12,540
Anything further,
Sergeant Turner?
460
00:30:12,678 --> 00:30:15,739
Yes, sir. There's a flashing
light before that stop sign
461
00:30:15,881 --> 00:30:18,715
that reads "Caution:
Stop sign 100 yards."
462
00:30:18,850 --> 00:30:21,649
This doesn't look
good, Mr. Matlock.
463
00:30:21,787 --> 00:30:27,192
But, Your Honor, I have pictures
of cars going through that stop sign.
464
00:30:27,326 --> 00:30:29,192
Some stopped, but
a lot of them didn't.
465
00:30:29,328 --> 00:30:31,888
I guess some of
them just got lucky.
466
00:30:32,030 --> 00:30:35,523
I'm afraid I'm going to have
to fine you on the infraction.
467
00:30:35,667 --> 00:30:37,329
But damn it, Your Honor,
468
00:30:37,469 --> 00:30:40,837
I went to a lot of trouble
to get pictures of those cars
469
00:30:40,972 --> 00:30:43,373
going lickety-split
through that stop sign.
470
00:30:43,508 --> 00:30:45,238
It doesn't matter.
471
00:30:45,377 --> 00:30:48,870
There was a warning
sign before the stop sign.
472
00:30:49,014 --> 00:30:52,416
But damn it all, Your
Honor, I ruined my camera,
473
00:30:52,551 --> 00:30:57,387
I ruined my boots, I tore my
suit, I got poison ivy on my hands,
474
00:30:57,522 --> 00:30:59,991
and somebody ripped
the door right off my car
475
00:31:00,125 --> 00:31:01,285
trying to get those pictures.
476
00:31:01,326 --> 00:31:04,353
That's $61 for
the code violation
477
00:31:04,496 --> 00:31:09,764
and another $61 for the use
of profanity in my courtroom.
478
00:31:09,901 --> 00:31:11,460
But dag-gone, Your Honor...
479
00:31:11,603 --> 00:31:14,095
Too late. Case is closed.
480
00:31:14,239 --> 00:31:15,673
Pay on your way out.
481
00:31:20,145 --> 00:31:21,272
Congratulations.
482
00:31:21,413 --> 00:31:25,908
Say one word to me, and I'll deck
you right in front of that damn judge.
483
00:31:26,051 --> 00:31:28,077
Can I say it was the principle?
484
00:31:38,964 --> 00:31:40,262
He won't sell.
485
00:31:40,399 --> 00:31:41,399
Oh, he will.
486
00:31:41,533 --> 00:31:44,901
All he needs is
another incident.
487
00:31:45,036 --> 00:31:47,562
Reggie's guys
just got out of jail.
488
00:31:47,706 --> 00:31:49,402
They're not going to risk it.
489
00:31:49,541 --> 00:31:52,841
For 10 grand,
they'll risk anything.
490
00:31:52,978 --> 00:31:55,743
- You're going to give them 10 grand?
- No.
491
00:31:57,082 --> 00:31:58,482
You are.
492
00:32:06,825 --> 00:32:09,056
What's up, man?
What you going to do?
493
00:32:09,194 --> 00:32:11,129
Oh, yeah. Is that what
you're going to do?
494
00:32:11,263 --> 00:32:12,595
You're losing it, Conrad.
495
00:32:12,731 --> 00:32:15,132
You're losing it,
homes. What's up?
496
00:32:20,772 --> 00:32:21,772
Solid.
497
00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:25,205
Hey, Reg.
498
00:32:33,718 --> 00:32:34,845
We cool?
499
00:32:34,986 --> 00:32:37,114
You got the ball.
500
00:32:37,255 --> 00:32:38,883
Nice shot.
501
00:32:41,326 --> 00:32:43,295
You wasted your shot, man.
502
00:32:43,428 --> 00:32:45,659
Just shoot the ball, man.
503
00:32:45,797 --> 00:32:48,266
You ain't going to make
it. No way. Just shoot.
504
00:32:49,534 --> 00:32:51,059
Whoo-hoo!
505
00:32:56,141 --> 00:32:59,134
Well, as I live and
breathe... Doug Levitt.
506
00:32:59,277 --> 00:33:00,317
Get the hell away from me.
507
00:33:02,647 --> 00:33:05,708
Don't be that way. I want you
to meet some of my friends.
508
00:33:05,851 --> 00:33:07,285
This is Lieutenant Bob Brooks.
509
00:33:07,419 --> 00:33:08,978
I'm Ben Matlock.
510
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,557
I figured you'd be making another drop
when Mr. Foster wouldn't sell his house.
511
00:33:12,691 --> 00:33:15,718
Welcome back to the
land of the living, Mr. Levitt.
512
00:33:15,861 --> 00:33:17,762
My name is not Levitt.
513
00:33:17,896 --> 00:33:21,264
It's Holdren... James Holdren. Just
like it says on my driver's license.
514
00:33:21,399 --> 00:33:24,528
So what does a fake license and
birth certificate cost these days, Doug?
515
00:33:24,669 --> 00:33:25,669
A couple of grand?
516
00:33:25,737 --> 00:33:27,501
The name is Jim.
517
00:33:27,639 --> 00:33:30,666
You take the same blood
pressure medication as Doug Levitt.
518
00:33:30,809 --> 00:33:33,040
So do a lot of people.
It's a coincidence.
519
00:33:33,178 --> 00:33:35,579
Who really died
in that explosion?
520
00:33:35,714 --> 00:33:37,512
What explosion?
521
00:33:37,649 --> 00:33:39,242
You knew Diane
was setting you up,
522
00:33:39,384 --> 00:33:41,444
so you set up somebody
else and watched him die,
523
00:33:41,586 --> 00:33:43,316
and then you went
after Diane, didn't you?
524
00:33:43,455 --> 00:33:44,946
Diane who?
525
00:33:49,194 --> 00:33:50,194
Yeah.
526
00:33:51,296 --> 00:33:56,166
Okay, we just checked your
fingerprints against Doug Levitt's.
527
00:33:57,602 --> 00:33:59,298
I want to talk to my lawyer.
528
00:34:12,150 --> 00:34:13,413
Wait just a minute, Doug.
529
00:34:13,552 --> 00:34:15,418
Your practical
jokes are one thing,
530
00:34:15,554 --> 00:34:18,353
but standing by and
watching me go to prison
531
00:34:18,490 --> 00:34:22,052
for a murder that you knew
never happened, that really sucks.
532
00:34:22,193 --> 00:34:23,193
Get him!
533
00:34:24,362 --> 00:34:26,922
Who is this guy?
Get him out of here.
534
00:34:40,345 --> 00:34:42,075
This really hurts.
535
00:34:42,213 --> 00:34:43,545
Do you have some aspirin?
536
00:34:43,682 --> 00:34:45,150
No.
537
00:34:45,283 --> 00:34:47,912
I didn't know you could break
your hand punching somebody.
538
00:34:48,053 --> 00:34:50,215
That never happens
in the movies.
539
00:34:50,355 --> 00:34:53,655
If I had had any idea you were
going to punch out Doug Levitt,
540
00:34:53,792 --> 00:34:55,336
I would have told you
it was going to hurt.
541
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,192
I was just going
to tell him off,
542
00:34:57,329 --> 00:34:59,992
and then all of a sudden
my fist just took off.
543
00:35:00,131 --> 00:35:02,691
Do you think he's serious about
what he said about suing me?
544
00:35:02,834 --> 00:35:03,995
Yeah.
545
00:35:04,135 --> 00:35:05,728
I'll plead insanity.
546
00:35:05,870 --> 00:35:07,532
I'll back you up.
547
00:35:09,874 --> 00:35:12,571
He's not going to sue you. He's
got too many troubles already.
548
00:35:12,711 --> 00:35:14,355
They're really going to
charge him with the murder?
549
00:35:14,379 --> 00:35:15,711
Yeah.
550
00:35:15,847 --> 00:35:17,816
But if they don't know
who died in the explosion,
551
00:35:17,949 --> 00:35:20,509
how are they going to prove
Doug was the murderer?
552
00:35:21,586 --> 00:35:23,111
They're not.
553
00:35:30,996 --> 00:35:32,521
Ben, why are we here?
554
00:35:32,664 --> 00:35:35,327
I told you, we might
find something.
555
00:35:35,467 --> 00:35:37,231
But the case is over.
556
00:35:37,369 --> 00:35:40,047
Bill Finley's going to walk out of
court a free man tomorrow, right?
557
00:35:40,071 --> 00:35:43,200
Yeah, and Doug Levitt will get
away with murder... two murders.
558
00:35:44,409 --> 00:35:45,468
Let's see.
559
00:35:45,610 --> 00:35:48,375
They found her
on the floor here.
560
00:35:48,513 --> 00:35:51,506
Let's move this sofa.
561
00:35:51,650 --> 00:35:52,674
Why?
562
00:35:53,918 --> 00:35:55,750
Let's move it. We
might find something.
563
00:35:55,887 --> 00:35:57,287
All right. Get that end.
564
00:35:57,422 --> 00:36:00,654
Ohh. Lumbago, boy.
565
00:36:00,792 --> 00:36:02,522
Ooh. Ooh. Ahh.
566
00:36:02,661 --> 00:36:04,926
Ohh.
567
00:36:11,436 --> 00:36:13,803
- Don't touch it.
- Don't touch it?
568
00:36:13,938 --> 00:36:15,099
No. Don't touch it.
569
00:36:18,376 --> 00:36:20,641
Mr. Matlock, in view
of recent events,
570
00:36:20,779 --> 00:36:23,476
I would imagine there's
something you'd like to say.
571
00:36:23,615 --> 00:36:27,279
Uh... thank you, Your Honor.
572
00:36:27,419 --> 00:36:30,389
The defense would like
to call its final witness.
573
00:36:30,522 --> 00:36:31,649
Witness?
574
00:36:31,790 --> 00:36:35,557
But, counselor, the man your client
was accused of murdering is alive.
575
00:36:35,694 --> 00:36:37,322
Surely you want
to move to dismiss?
576
00:36:37,462 --> 00:36:38,555
Oh, I do.
577
00:36:38,697 --> 00:36:39,926
But believe it or not,
578
00:36:40,065 --> 00:36:43,365
in the interests of justice, it is
my duty to call this last witness.
579
00:36:43,501 --> 00:36:45,333
- Really?
- Yes, ma'am. And my right.
580
00:36:47,005 --> 00:36:49,372
Mr. Matlock, there is
no precedent for this,
581
00:36:49,507 --> 00:36:53,274
but I am not going to waste everybody's
time by arguing, so call your witness.
582
00:36:53,411 --> 00:36:54,743
Thank you, Your Honor.
583
00:36:54,879 --> 00:36:57,940
Defense calls Mr. Doug
Levitt to the stand.
584
00:37:11,529 --> 00:37:12,724
Well...
585
00:37:14,499 --> 00:37:16,195
you look good for a dead man.
586
00:37:16,334 --> 00:37:17,996
I mean real good.
587
00:37:18,136 --> 00:37:19,764
Mr. Matlock.
588
00:37:19,904 --> 00:37:21,270
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
589
00:37:21,406 --> 00:37:26,674
Would you please explain to
the court who Nelson Addleson is?
590
00:37:26,811 --> 00:37:28,905
He's a local real
estate developer.
591
00:37:29,047 --> 00:37:31,209
- Are you and he friends?
- No.
592
00:37:31,349 --> 00:37:32,476
Business partners?
593
00:37:32,617 --> 00:37:33,744
I hardly know the man.
594
00:37:33,885 --> 00:37:41,315
Hmm. Would you explain
these phone records
595
00:37:41,459 --> 00:37:45,920
that indicate that you called each other
more than a dozen times last month?
596
00:37:46,064 --> 00:37:47,157
I'll be glad to.
597
00:37:47,298 --> 00:37:50,860
In fact, I'd be glad to explain
everything, if you're interested.
598
00:37:51,002 --> 00:37:52,766
Oh, we are.
599
00:37:52,904 --> 00:37:56,500
Well, last month, when I was still
producing the news for WDRN-TV,
600
00:37:56,641 --> 00:38:01,477
Nelson Addleson called
me because Diane Becker,
601
00:38:01,613 --> 00:38:03,290
my anchorwoman at
the time, had called him.
602
00:38:03,314 --> 00:38:05,613
Now, it seems that
Diane had heard
603
00:38:05,750 --> 00:38:09,152
that the zoning commission was
going to rezone a parcel of land
604
00:38:09,287 --> 00:38:11,813
adjacent to
Mr. Addleson's farmland.
605
00:38:11,956 --> 00:38:15,690
Well, she told
Mr. Addleson that for a price
606
00:38:15,714 --> 00:38:19,386
she would make a
little mistake on the air.
607
00:38:19,531 --> 00:38:22,660
She would make it seem like it
was his land that was being rezoned,
608
00:38:22,801 --> 00:38:25,361
and, of course, its value
would skyrocket overnight.
609
00:38:25,503 --> 00:38:30,305
Mr. Addleson refused her
offer, but she kept on calling him,
610
00:38:30,441 --> 00:38:32,740
so he called me to see
if I could get her to quit.
611
00:38:32,877 --> 00:38:34,311
I couldn't.
612
00:38:34,445 --> 00:38:38,280
When I approached Diane, she
denied any wrongdoing whatsoever.
613
00:38:38,416 --> 00:38:44,219
Unfortunately, my
boss, Howard Price,
614
00:38:44,355 --> 00:38:47,120
heard about the calls that I'd
been making to Mr. Addleson,
615
00:38:47,258 --> 00:38:53,994
and he presumed that I was responsible
for Diane's little mistake on the air.
616
00:38:54,132 --> 00:38:56,260
He fired me.
617
00:38:56,401 --> 00:38:57,801
Oh.
618
00:38:57,936 --> 00:38:59,495
So I went back to Diane,
619
00:38:59,637 --> 00:39:04,166
and I told her that I had
to tell Howard the truth,
620
00:39:04,309 --> 00:39:05,834
even if it jeopardized
her career.
621
00:39:05,977 --> 00:39:07,969
Well, Diane denied
everything again,
622
00:39:08,112 --> 00:39:14,177
and then she told me that if I
ruined her career, she'd kill me.
623
00:39:15,253 --> 00:39:16,253
Oh.
624
00:39:16,354 --> 00:39:18,016
Well, I was scared.
625
00:39:18,156 --> 00:39:21,217
So I figured the best thing to
do was just stay out of her way,
626
00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:22,554
so I went down to Macon.
627
00:39:22,694 --> 00:39:26,358
The next thing I knew, my summer
house at Sidney Lake had been blown up,
628
00:39:26,497 --> 00:39:27,726
and I was supposed to be dead.
629
00:39:29,033 --> 00:39:32,003
- She actually had tried to kill me.
- Yeah.
630
00:39:32,136 --> 00:39:34,162
Well, now I was
really terrified.
631
00:39:34,305 --> 00:39:37,275
I mean, I figured if she's crazy
enough to do a thing like that once,
632
00:39:37,408 --> 00:39:39,570
she wouldn't
hesitate to try it again.
633
00:39:39,711 --> 00:39:45,480
So I decided to just let everybody think
that I was dead, and I started a new life.
634
00:39:45,617 --> 00:39:50,146
Uh, how did you intend to
make a living in this new life?
635
00:39:51,189 --> 00:39:52,817
I hadn't quite figured
that one out yet.
636
00:39:52,957 --> 00:39:55,620
You didn't go into
business with Mr. Addleson?
637
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:56,853
No.
638
00:39:56,995 --> 00:40:01,990
You didn't help him use gangs to
intimidate people in the inner city
639
00:40:02,133 --> 00:40:04,864
into selling their homes
cheap to Mr. Addleson?
640
00:40:05,003 --> 00:40:07,302
No. Of course not.
641
00:40:08,373 --> 00:40:10,001
Okay.
642
00:40:10,141 --> 00:40:12,940
Uh, anything else?
643
00:40:13,077 --> 00:40:14,204
No.
644
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,315
Well, that's a good story.
645
00:40:19,350 --> 00:40:21,182
I mean, that's a
real good story.
646
00:40:21,319 --> 00:40:26,280
But I don't think Diane Becker
frightened you out of town.
647
00:40:26,424 --> 00:40:28,184
In fact, I don't think
you left town at all.
648
00:40:28,293 --> 00:40:33,596
I think you, Diane Becker,
and Nelson Addleson conspired
649
00:40:33,731 --> 00:40:37,031
to air that false rezoning story
650
00:40:37,168 --> 00:40:42,505
and then split the huge profit that
Nelson Addleson made as a result.
651
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,404
Now that's ridiculous.
652
00:40:44,542 --> 00:40:48,411
Just speculating,
Mr. Levitt. Just speculating.
653
00:40:48,546 --> 00:40:51,948
I think Diane got greedy,
654
00:40:52,083 --> 00:40:55,611
and she played what looked like
a practical joke on Mr. Finley here,
655
00:40:55,753 --> 00:40:58,154
knowing he'd be
fired and blame you.
656
00:40:58,289 --> 00:41:04,627
Then she blew up your summer cottage
to kill you, and the police blamed him.
657
00:41:04,762 --> 00:41:07,732
And then she went
to Mr. Addleson
658
00:41:07,865 --> 00:41:11,358
and demanded your share of
the profits as well as her own.
659
00:41:11,502 --> 00:41:14,062
What she didn't know
660
00:41:14,205 --> 00:41:18,540
is that you had already
figured out what she was up to.
661
00:41:18,676 --> 00:41:25,048
And I think that sometime
before the explosion,
662
00:41:25,183 --> 00:41:30,247
you found somebody to take your
place, dressed him in your clothes,
663
00:41:30,388 --> 00:41:35,122
put your watch on him, made sure he
was in that cabin when she blew it up.
664
00:41:35,259 --> 00:41:38,252
No. No, I didn't. I was in...
665
00:41:38,396 --> 00:41:41,628
Now this isn't
speculation, this is fact.
666
00:41:41,766 --> 00:41:46,602
You took this unknown person
to a dentist... a Dr. Thomberg...
667
00:41:46,738 --> 00:41:50,937
And he did extensive
dental work on him.
668
00:41:51,075 --> 00:41:55,342
And you took him there as Doug
Levitt, introduced him as Doug Levitt.
669
00:41:55,480 --> 00:42:00,475
There could only be one
reason for this strange action...
670
00:42:00,618 --> 00:42:08,219
You knew that when the police went
looking for Doug Levitt's dental records,
671
00:42:08,359 --> 00:42:12,194
this man's would be
the ones they would find.
672
00:42:12,330 --> 00:42:14,265
No, I didn't.
673
00:42:14,399 --> 00:42:18,666
Dr. Thomberg
identified you as the man
674
00:42:18,803 --> 00:42:21,398
who brought this "Doug
Levitt" to his office.
675
00:42:21,539 --> 00:42:23,440
Then Dr. Thomberg
made a mistake.
676
00:42:23,574 --> 00:42:27,705
You set this poor man
up to die in your place.
677
00:42:27,845 --> 00:42:31,509
Diane Becker pushed the button, but
as sure as you're alive, you killed him.
678
00:42:31,649 --> 00:42:35,211
You can't prove that,
Mr. Matlock. I think you know that.
679
00:42:36,721 --> 00:42:38,314
No.
680
00:42:38,456 --> 00:42:40,322
No, I can't.
681
00:42:42,326 --> 00:42:47,958
But the good news is I can
prove you killed Diane Becker.
682
00:42:48,099 --> 00:42:50,398
I thought Diane Becker
committed suicide.
683
00:42:50,535 --> 00:42:54,939
Everybody thinks she committed suicide
because you made it look like suicide.
684
00:42:55,073 --> 00:42:56,598
No, I didn't.
685
00:42:56,741 --> 00:42:59,074
You went over to
her house that night,
686
00:42:59,210 --> 00:43:03,773
and you forced that bottle of
sleeping pills down her throat.
687
00:43:03,915 --> 00:43:06,817
And then you wiped your
prints off of everything
688
00:43:06,951 --> 00:43:10,080
and made sure that her prints were
on the glass and the empty bottle.
689
00:43:10,221 --> 00:43:12,281
No. I didn't.
690
00:43:17,061 --> 00:43:19,087
You recognize this?
691
00:43:20,731 --> 00:43:22,029
No.
692
00:43:22,166 --> 00:43:25,364
That's one of Diane
Becker's sleeping pills.
693
00:43:25,503 --> 00:43:30,532
Mr. Conrad McMasters found it
on the floor of her condominium.
694
00:43:30,675 --> 00:43:32,837
I guess you didn't
know you dropped it.
695
00:43:32,977 --> 00:43:37,108
You know what the police
found when they examined it?
696
00:43:37,248 --> 00:43:43,518
Two prints... a thumbprint
and an index finger print...
697
00:43:45,356 --> 00:43:50,761
And they weren't Diane's
prints. They were yours.
698
00:43:52,697 --> 00:43:54,063
No.
699
00:43:54,198 --> 00:43:58,431
Mr. Levitt, it's over.
700
00:44:07,378 --> 00:44:09,040
Hey, Bill, congratulations.
701
00:44:09,180 --> 00:44:11,081
There he is!
702
00:44:13,651 --> 00:44:15,745
- Hey!
- You look great.
703
00:44:24,462 --> 00:44:26,954
Howard, what's going on?
704
00:44:27,098 --> 00:44:28,691
A little celebration, Bill.
705
00:44:28,833 --> 00:44:31,769
Not only is your trial over, but
you've got your old job back.
706
00:44:31,903 --> 00:44:33,371
That is, if you want it.
707
00:44:33,504 --> 00:44:34,699
You bet I do.
708
00:44:34,839 --> 00:44:37,070
I don't blame you.
709
00:44:39,443 --> 00:44:40,968
Thanks again, Ben.
710
00:44:41,112 --> 00:44:42,705
You'll get my bill.
711
00:44:42,847 --> 00:44:44,509
That's why I'm
shaking your hand now.
