THE PEOPLE ARE REPRESENTED
THE PEOPLE ARE REPRESENTED

BY TWO SEPARATE

THE POLICE,
WHO INVESTIGATE CRIME

AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS,
WHO PROSECUTE THE OFFENDERS.

THESE ARE THEIR STORIES.

I HAD A LADY ONCE.

SWORE A RAT ROLLED
A WHEEL OF PARMESAN

RIGHT OUT OF HER FRIDGE
WHILE SHE WAS SLEEPING.

RIGHT HERE.

IT'S THE SUPER.

GOT THE EXTERMINATOR HERE.

ANYBODY HOME?

MISS KNOWLES?

HAVING SOME TROUBLE HERE?

OH, MY GOD.

OH, GET HELP.

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.

IT'LL BE OKAY.

VICTIM'S CECILIA KNOWLES.

SHE'S 36 YEARS OLD.

SHE WAS A MESS.

HER CLOTHES WERE RIPPED,
EYES GLAZED OVER.

E.M.S. ROLLED HER
TO MERCY TRAUMA.

WHAT'D THE NEIGHBORS
HAVE TO SAY?

DOWNSTAIRS APARTMENT
HEARD NOISES

SOMETIME AFTER MIDNIGHT.

DIDN'T THINK IT WAS
ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

OR WORTH GETTING
OUT OF BED FOR.

THANKS.

NO, THE ONLY
OTHER PERSON

WE SAW UP HERE
THIS MORNING WAS 6-J.

HE LEFT ABOUT 7:15.

HIS WORK NUMBER'S ON
HIS RENTAL APPLICATION

IF YOU NEED IT.

THAT WOULD BE A HELP.

HOW ABOUT MS. KNOWLES?

YOU KNOW HER VERY WELL?

SHE MOVED HERE FROM ALBANY
A FEW MONTHS AGO.

I FIXED HER CLOSET ONCE.

SHE LIVE ALONE?

UH-HUH.

BOYFRIEND?

I HAVEN'T NOTICED ANYONE.

I'D LIKE TO SEE
HER RENTAL APPLICATION.

SURE, I'LL GET IT.

THE ATTACK STARTED HERE...

AND THEN FINISHED
IN HERE.

LOOKS LIKE SOME
NIGHT BASEBALL

GOT OUT OF CONTROL, HUH?

WE'RE BAGGING AND TAGGING THE LINENS.

NICE-LOOKING FAMILY.

NO FAMILY NAMES
IN HERE.

BUSINESS CARDS...

FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

HERE'S HER APPLICATION.

THANK YOU.

SHE MOVED IN FIVE MONTHS AGO.

ANY NEXT OF KIN?

FLY-AWAY TRAVEL.

THAT'S WHAT SHE WROTE.

EAST 47th STREET.

YEAH, SHE'S A TRAVEL AGENT.

SHE PUT HER BOSS
AS NEXT OF KIN?

MIGHT AS WELL
DIE ALONE.

SHE ALMOST DID.

LIGATURE MARKS ON HER NECK.

BRUISING ON HER
INNER THIGHS.

RAPE KIT'S BEEN SEALED
AND SENT TO YOUR LAB.

WHEN WILL SHE BE
ABLE TO TALK?

SHE'S IN A COMA.

NEUROLOGY'S BEEN CALLED
IN TO TAKE A LOOK.

SO YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN?

OR IF.

SHE PRESENTED WITH
ANOXIC BRAIN INJURY.

FROM THE STRANGLING?

WELL, THAT'S ONE
POSSIBILITY.

WHAT'S THE OTHER?

AN ALLERGIC REACTION
TO DEMEROL.

WE FOUND TRACE AMOUNTS
OF IT IN HER BLOOD.

ARE YOU SURE?

BECAUSE WE DIDN'T FIND
ANY PILLS IN HER PLACE.

WELL, HOW ABOUT
A SYRINGE?

THIS BRUISE HERE--

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE
THERE'S A NEEDLE MARK.

THE DEMEROL WAS INJECTED.

THERE'S NO SYRINGE
IN HER APARTMENT.

THE DOER DOPED HER UP?

SOMETIME BETWEEN
MIDNIGHT AND 2:00 A.M.

ACCORDING TO THE DOCTOR.

AND THAT'S ON TOP OF THE COUPLE
OF DRINKS SHE HAD BEFORE THEN.

COCKTAILS, NO FORCED ENTRY.

COULD BE DATE RAPE.

WHO WAS THIS GIRL
SEEING?

WE'VE BEEN LOOKING
THROUGH HER PHONE BOOK.

A LOT OF DISCONNECTED
NUMBERS IN ALBANY.

ANSWERING MACHINES,
LOCAL NUMBERS OF NAIL SALONS

TAKE-OUTS, AIRLINES.

APPARENTLY, MS. KNOWLES
WAS MARRIED TO HER WORK.

THEN TRY CO-WORKERS.

WELL, I'M PRETTY SURE SHE WASN'T
SEEING ANYBODY.

WE WERE JUST TALKING
THE OTHER DAY

HOW HARD IT IS
TO MEET PEOPLE.

WHAT HOSPITAL IS SHE AT?

MERCY.

I SHOULD GET FLOWERS.

SHE'S IN A COMA.

OH, WELL, I MEAN, STILL--

I MEAN, IF
CECILIA WAKES UP

AND THERE'S
NOBODY THERE...

OH, THIS IS
SO AWFUL.

THIS HER SISTER?

YEAH, JULIE.
HER KID SISTER.

ANY IDEA WHERE
WE CAN FIND HER?

CECILIA SAID SHE PASSED AWAY A FEW YEARS
AGO.

ANY OTHER FAMILY?

UM, SHE SAID

HER PARENTS DIED

WHEN SHE WAS
IN COLLEGE

AND THERE'S AN EX-HUSBAND, STEVEN KNOWLES.

SHE SAID HE
WAS A DRUNK.

DO YOU KNOW WHERE
WE CAN FIND HIM?

IT SOUNDED LIKE SHE HADN'T
SPOKEN TO HIM IN YEARS.

ANYONE ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF?

SHE SAID SHE'D BEEN
IN LOVE ONCE.

NOT WITH THE EX.

YOU MIGHT TRY WHERE
SHE USED TO WORK

UP IN ALBANY.

THE STATE TRAVEL DIVISION.

SHE MENTION ANY PLANS
SHE HAD FOR LAST NIGHT?

I HAD PLANE TICKETS

TO DROP OFF AT THE MAYFLOWER
HOTEL FOR A CLIENT.

SHE OFFERED
TO TAKE THEM.

WAS THAT ON HER WAY?

WELL, ACTUALLY, NO, BUT...

SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T MIND.

YES, SHE WAS IN
LAST NIGHT

WITH A PACKAGE FOR
ONE OF OUR GUESTS.

THE GILBERTS.

SHE LEFT IT AT THE
DESK ABOUT 10:00.

THAT LATE?
YOU SURE?

I WAS JUST ABOUT
TO GO OFF DUTY.

SHE WITH ANYBODY?

SHE WAS WEARING
A COCKTAIL DRESS.

MAYBE SOMEONE WAS WAITING
FOR HER OUTSIDE.

WELL?

I DIDN'T SEE ANYBODY.

SHE JUST CAME OUT.

I OFFERED TO GET HER A CAB.
SHE SAID NO.

AND THEN SHE WENT ACROSS
THE STREET TO THE SWANSON.

THANKS.

SURE, I REMEMBER HER.

GLASS OF MERLOT.

SHE SAT AT A TABLE IN THE BACK. BY
HERSELF?

A COUPLE OF GUYS TRIED
TO BUY HER A DRINK.

BUT SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS WAITING
FOR AN OLD FRIEND FROM ALBANY.

YOU SEE WHAT THE GUY
LOOKED LIKE?

NO. I NOTICE THE LADIES.

THE GUYS IN THE
BUSINESS SUITS

THEY ALL LOOK
THE SAME TO ME.

MAYBE IF WE CHECKED THE CREDIT CARD
RECEIPTS.

I DOUBT THE GUY HAD
TIME FOR A DRINK.

I LOOKED OVER AND,
BANG, SHE WAS GONE.

OKAY TO GET BACK
TO WORK?

YEAH, GO AHEAD.

OUR LITTLE WALLFLOWER
BLOOMS AT NIGHT.

OLD FRIEND IN A BUSINESS SUIT.

MAYBE IF WE CHECK
HER BUSINESS CARD COLLECTION.

HONG KONG.
SOME GUYS HAVE ALL THE FUN.

I WOULDN'T KNOW FROM HONG KONG.

MY OLD MAN TOOK ME.

WHAT DID HE DO--

WORK FOR THE
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC?

OIL BUSINESS.
PETROCHEMICAL ENGINEER.

A BRAINIAC.

I'M SURE THIS IS JUST WHAT

HE HAD IN MIND
FOR YOU.

YEAH.

RIGHT.

STUART RUSKUS.

OH, I SEE.

SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.

THANKS.

THE GUY CROAKED A YEAR AGO.

KENNETH TAYLOR.

DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY

FOR THE NEW YORK STATE
COMPTROLLER.

COME ON DOWN.

HI, KENNETH TAYLOR, PLEASE.

I'M DETECTIVE ED GREEN
OF THE NEW YORK POLICE.

HE DID?

DO YOU HAVE
THAT ADDRESS?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

KENNETH TAYLOR MOVED DOWN
FROM ALBANY LAST SUMMER

TO AN APARTMENT TWO BLOCKS
FROM THE SWANSON HOTEL.

KNOWLES... THE NAME
SOUNDS FAMILIAR.

SO YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHY SHE HAD YOUR CARD

IN HER BEDROOM?

NO, CAN'T PLACE HER. SORRY.

SHE USED TO WORK IN
THE STATE GOVERNMENT

TRAVEL DIVISION
UP IN ALBANY.

THAT'S RIGHT.
THAT'S RIGHT.

SHE HANDLED SOME TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS FOR
ME A WHILE AGO.

YES.

NOW YOU REMEMBER?

YES, NOW I REMEMBER.

AND NOW I HAVE TO GET
BACK TO WORK.

BEFORE YOU DO THAT,
DO YOU MIND TELLING US

WHERE YOU WERE
TUESDAY NIGHT?

I WAS AT HOME WORKING
ON THE PRESS CAMPAIGN

FOR THE AUDIT OF THE
HUDSON RIVER SMALL CRAFT

NAVIGATION PROGRAM.

I'M FILLING UP
WITH ANTICIPATION.

AND AFTER THAT?

I ORDERED A MOVIE
ON PAY-PER-VIEW

AND I FELL ASLEEP
BEFORE IT ENDED.

ANY PHONE CALLS?

MY BROTHER ASKING ME
TO GO SAILING WITH HIM.

AND MY FIANCEE CALLED
JUST AFTER MIDNIGHT.

SHE'S AT A CONFERENCE
IN CALIFORNIA.

NOW, CAN I GO?

AND OTHER THAN
THAT ONE TIME

IN ALBANY, YOU'VE HAD NO CONTACT
WITH CECILIA KNOWLES?

THAT'S RIGHT.

NOW YOU CAN GO.

THANK YOU.

CHECK HIS LUDS.

AND HERS.

CABLE COMPANY CONFIRMS TAYLOR
ORDERED A MOVIE

AT 20 PAST MIDNIGHT.

SHAKESPEARE IN HEAT.

CAUSE AND EFFECT?

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE EFFECT.

RAPE KIT WAS NEGATIVE
FOR SEMINAL FLUID.

PHONE RECORDS--
HIS AND HERS.

NEW YORK AND ALBANY.

NO CALLS
IN EITHER DIRECTION.

BUT THERE ARE THESE CALLS

SHE MADE TO QUEENS
FROM ALBANY.

SHE CALLED THE
116 PRECINCT?

A COUPLE OF TIMES A MONTH
BEFORE SHE MOVED HERE.

CHECKING ON THE CRIME RATE?

CHECKING ON THE CRIME RATE?

SHE WAS CALLING ABOUT HER SISTER,
JULIE GORHAM.

GORHAM? FROM
THREE YEARS AGO?

ONE AND THE SAME.

MISSING, PRESUMED MURDERED.

GIRL FLIES INTO LaGUARDIA
FROM ALBANY

TO VISIT HER BOYFRIEND.

HASN'T BEEN SEEN SINCE.

BOYFRIEND A SUSPECT?

UH-HUH. STORMY
RELATIONSHIP.

BUT WE COULD NEVER
MAKE A CASE.

WORST PART OF THE JOB--

HAVING NO ANSWERS
FOR THE FAMILY.

WHEN'S THE LAST TIME
YOU TALKED TO CECILIA?

A MONTH AGO. VERY UPSET.

SHE RAN INTO THE BOYFRIEND
IN THE CITY.

YOU GOT THE FILE?

YEAH.

SHE WAS ALWAYS CONVINCED
THE GUY DID HER SISTER.

IF WE'D BEEN ABLE
TO TAKE THE GLOVES OFF...

WHY DIDN'T YOU?

GUY'S SOME MUCKY-MUCK

IN STATE
GOVERNMENT.

YEAH, RIGHT.

OUR FILM BUFF-- KENNY TAYLOR.

I WAS STALLING YOU
SO I COULD TALK TO MY LAWYER.

I LEARNED MY LESSON

ABOUT DEALING
WITH YOU PEOPLE.

WHAT LESSON'S THAT? THAT WE'RE NOT AS
STUPID AS WE LOOK?

I'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS CIRCUS
BEFORE WHEN JULIE DISAPPEARED.

THAT'S WHERE YOU LEARNED TO LIE?

THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.

YOU JUST TWIST EVERYTHING.

YOU DON'T HAVE
TO GET INTO IT.

I'M OKAY.

JUST ASK YOUR QUESTIONS.

I JUST WANT TO VERIFY
A FEW THINGS.

YOU SAID YOU HADN'T SEEN
MS. KNOWLES

SINCE YOU MOVED
TO THE CITY.

RIGHT.

WELL, SHE TOLD
THE DETECTIVE IN QUEENS

THAT SHE RAN INTO YOU
ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

OKAY, SURE, UH,
ON MY LUNCH HOUR.

IT WAS IN MIDTOWN.

WHAT'D YOU TALK ABOUT?

NOTHING. I TRIED

TO BE POLITE AND GET AWAY

FROM HER AS FAST AS I COULD.

SHE'S STILL LABORING
UNDER THE DELUSION

I KILLED JULIE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE
HAD THAT DELUSION.

NEXT QUESTION.

WE READ THE
INVESTIGATOR'S REPORTS

ON JULIE GORHAM.

THE ONE THING
EVERYONE REMARKED ON

WAS YOUR TEMPER.

YOU TRYING TO BAIT ME?

JUST STATING THE FACTS.

YOU HAVE A THIN SKIN.

THAT'S WHY JULIE WAS
BREAKING UP WITH YOU.

THAT'S WHY SHE
CAME TO NEW YORK.

THAT'S ACCORDING
TO CECILIA.

THE TRUTH IS, WE WERE
MAKING A FRESH START.

I HAD THE HOTEL ROOM READY.

I HAD CHAMPAGNE,
FLOWERS.

SHE NEVER GOT
TO THE HOTEL.

AND THAT'S ACCORDING TO YOU.

IT'S WHAT HAPPENED.

THEY HAVE
A RECORD

OF HER GETTING ON THE PLANE.

SHE JUMPED OUT
OVER POUGHKEEPSIE?

DAMN IT!
I DIDN'T KILL HER!

SEE? IT STILL GETS
TO YOU, DOESN'T IT?

YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD IT ALL
PUT BEHIND YOU

WHEN YOU CAME DOWN
FROM ALBANY

AND BANG, YOU RUN
INTO THE BIG SISTER.

I GOT BETTER THINGS
TO DO THAN WORRY

ABOUT A CRAZY WOMAN.

I DON'T THINK YOU'D
JUST WALK AWAY FROM HER.

YOU WANTED TO REASON WITH HER,
HAVE A LITTLE SIT-DOWN

BURY THE HATCHET.

THERE WAS NO REASONING
WITH HER.

BUT YOU TRIED ANYWAY.

YOU MET WITH HER
AT THE BAR

AT THE SWANSON HOTEL.

MAYBE YOU DIDN'T GET
THE SATISFACTION YOU WANTED.

YOU WENT HOME, STEWED ABOUT IT... NO! NO!

THEN YOU WENT
TO HER PLACE.

YOU GAVE HER SOME BULL
AND SHE LET YOU IN.

THAT'S ENOUGH.

AND YOU DID TO HER
JUST WHAT YOU DID

TO YOUR SISTER,
DIDN'T YOU?

NO! I NEVER LAID A HAND ON HER!
KEN.

I KNOW MY RIGHTS!

I KNOW WHERE I STAND!

I'VE TALKED TO THEM

AS MUCH AS I HAVE TO!

I'M LEAVING!

NEXT TIME YOU WANT
TO TALK TO HIM

YOU'D BETTER BRING
A SUBPOENA OR A WARRANT.

WE SHOWED HIS PICTURE AROUND
THE SWANSON BAR. NO TAKERS.

NONE OF THE
NEIGHBORS EITHER.

IF SHE WAS MEETING WITH THE MAN
WHO MURDERED HER SISTER

IT'S A BIG THING.

YOU'D THINK
SHE WOULD HAVE TOLD SOMEONE.

WHO? HER NAIL SALON,
OR THE CHINESE TAKEOUT?

DID YOU GET
ANY CALLBACKS

FROM THOSE NUMBERS
IN ALBANY?

THREE. NONE OF THEM TALKED TO CECILIA IN
AT LEAST A YEAR.

THEY GOT TIRED OF WATCHING
HER GRIND THE SAME AX.

SHE USED TO WORK

FOR THE STATE
TRAVEL DIVISION.

HAVE YOU TRIED UP THERE?

HAVE A NICE DRIVE.

DO YOU BELIEVE
IN FAMILY CURSES?

I DIDN'T.

THEN I MET CECILIA.

PARENTS GO IN A CAR ACCIDENT.

THEN JULIE.

NOW THIS.

YOU KNEW JULIE?

VERY SWEET PERSON.

SHE WAS IN MANAGEMENT

AT ONE OF THE TV STATIONS
IN TOWN.

CECILIA WAS SO
PROUD OF HER.

THEN ALONG CAME KEN TAYLOR.

HAD YOU TALKED
TO CECILIA RECENTLY?

NO. NOT SINCE SHE MOVED.

ANYBODY ELSE SHE
MIGHT HAVE TALKED TO?

WELL, I DON'T THINK SO.

IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT.

JULIE'S DEATH JUST ATE AT HER.

WHILE SHE WAS HERE, WAS SHE
EVER IN CONTACT WITH TAYLOR?

A COUPLE MONTHS
BEFORE SHE MOVED

SHE HAD A RUN-IN
WITH HIM AT A FUNCTION.

SHE ACCUSED HIM.

SAID SHE'D NEVER LET HIM FORGET
WHAT HE DID TO JULIE.

HOW DID HE REACT?

WELL, SHE STARTED HAVING
HER SECRETARY SCREEN HER CALLS.

GAVE SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS
NOT TO PUT TAYLOR THROUGH.

DID HE EVER TRY TO CALL HER?

I DON'T KNOW, BUT CECILIA
ALWAYS MADE SURE ONE OF US

WALKED HER TO HER CAR
IN THE EVENING.

DID SHE EVER GO TO THE POLICE?

I TOLD HER SHE COULD GET
A RESTRAINING ORDER.

I DON'T KNOW IF SHE EVER WENT.

I MEAN, SHE MOVED.

JUST A MONTH
BEFORE TAYLOR DID.

HE MOVED AFTER SHE DID?

YES. I HEARD ABOUT IT
THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE.

I LEFT HER A MESSAGE
TO WARN HER, BUT SHE

NEVER CALLED BACK.

NOW, HE SIGNED HIS LEASE
JULY 12th AND MOVE IN JULY 30th.

SHE SIGNED HERS JUNE 24th.

COULD BE A COINCIDENCE.

YES, I'M STILL HERE.

OKAY.

NO, NO, NO, NO.
I'M NOT HANGING UP.

IT'S THE COMPUTER COMPANY
FROM HELL.

I'VE BEEN ON HOLD
A HALF AN HOUR.

I SENT MY KID'S COMPUTER IN
TO GET FIXED

AND THEY LOST IT.

I TOLD YOU THOSE
GIZMOS WERE TROUBLE.

YOU TALKED TO THE ALBANY POLICE?

SHE FILED A COMPLAINT,
SAID HE FOLLOWED HER

WAITED OUTSIDE HER APARTMENT,
BUT WITHOUT ANY PROOF...

THEY DID NOTHING.

HER BAD LUCK HE DIDN'T BEAT THE CRAP OUT
OF HER IN FRONT OF WITNESSES.

CHECK THIS OUT.
D.M.V. RECORDS SHOW

TAYLOR WAS PULLED OVER
A YEAR AGO.

D.W.I. IN LOUDONVILLE

JUST OUTSIDE OF ALBANY.

ISN'T THAT
WHERE SHE LIVED?

COULD HAVE BEEN CRUISING
HER NEIGHBORHOOD.

CALL ALBANY.
CHECK ON THE DISPOSITION.

NO, YOU DON'T WANT ME
TO COME DOWN THERE.

TAYLOR SAID HE HAD DINNER
AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE.

CHARGES DISMISSED.

HIS LAWYER ARGUED THAT
THE GLASS OF WINE HE DRANK

INTERACTED WITH THE
MEDICATION HE'D TAKEN.

LET ME GUESS.
HE ATE A BREATH MINT.

HE HAS A BAD BACK FROM
A SKIING ACCIDENT IN COLLEGE

HE'S BEEN
ON PAINKILLERS EVER SINCE.

ONE MORE GUESS--
DEMEROL.

IT DOESN'T SAY.

IT'S MEDILL IN FORENSICS.

WE FOUND ONE PUBIC HAIR
THAT DIDN'T BELONG TO HER.

THERE'S NO ROOT.

YOU CAN FORGET
ABOUT DNA.

WELL, NEXT TIME, WE'LL TAKE
OUR BAD NEWS OVER THE PHONE.

WELL, THERE IS
SOME GOOD NEWS.

TWO DROPS OF SEMINAL FLUID ON
THE TOP SHEET, VERY SMALL DROPS.

TADPOLES IN
THE FLUID?

WELL, ENOUGH
FOR A DNA SAMPLE.

UH, THERE'S ALSO A DROP ON
THE CARPETING NEXT TO THE BED.

A DROP HERE,
A DROP THERE--

THE GUY TRY TO CLEAN UP
AFTER HIMSELF?

NO. THERE WAS SPERMICIDE
IN THE FLUID.

MORE LIKELY HE USED A CONDOM,
THEN HAD SOME SPILL-OFF

WHEN HE REMOVED IT.

YOU TAKE HIS BLOOD, YOU LET HIM STEW IN
JAIL FOR TWO DAYS.

IF YOU DON'T BRING HIM UP
FOR ARRAIGNMENT BY TONIGHT.

THREE YEARS I'VE PUT UP
WITH THIS HARASSMENT.

WHEN DOES IT STOP?

IT'S UP TO YOU.
IT CAN END RIGHT NOW.

HOW? BY TELLING YOU
WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR?

IS THAT WHAT
YOU'D LIKE?

OH, YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW
WHAT I'D LIKE RIGHT NOW.

ARE YOU TRYING TO
PROVOKE ME, IS THAT IT?

WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.

WE NEED YOU CALM AND FOCUSED.

WE GOT A LOT
OF GROUND TO COVER.

OKAY, OKAY.

LET'S START
WITH THIS D.W.I. IN ALBANY.

IN CECILIA'S NEIGHBORHOOD?

I WAS NOWHERE NEAR HER.

YOU WERE DRUNK.

YOU MIGHT NOT REMEMBER.

I WAS NOT DRUNK.

I TAKE PAINKILLERS.

SCOTCH ALWAYS KILLED

MY PAIN.

FOR MY BACK.

I TAKE DEMEROL.

DEMEROL.

YOUR FIANCEE IS A DOCTOR,
IS THAT RIGHT?

AN ONCOLOGIST.

WHAT'S THAT HAVE TO DO...?

AT HER OFFICE, SHE KEEPS

SWABS, SYRINGES,
THINGS LIKE THAT?

YES, OF COURSE.

WHAT ARE YOU WRITING?

YOU AND YOUR FIANCEE
USE CONDOMS?

WHAT THE HELL...?

HE'S NOT GOING TO ANSWER THAT.

ISN'T HE CURIOUS AS TO

WHY WE'RE ASKING?

YES. I AM.

WHOEVER RAPED CECILIA
USED A CONDOM

EXCEPT SOME OF HIS LITTLE GUYS
GOT AWAY FROM HIM

LIKE ON THE RUG,
ON THE BED.

THAT'S WHY WE TOOK
YOUR BLOOD, TAYLOR.

THAT DOESN'T CONCERN ME ONE BIT.

WE'RE GIVING YOU
THE STRAIGHT DOPE.

LET'S MOVE ON.

SORRY TO INTERRUPT.

WE HAVE THE BLOOD TEST RESULTS,
MR. TAYLOR.

YOUR DNA MATCHES
WHAT WE FOUND AT THE SCENE.

WHOO! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN
A LITTLE MORE CAREFUL

WHEN YOU TOOK OFF
YOUR PARTY HAT.

NOT POSSIBLE.

O.J. OR NO O.J.

DNA DON'T LIE, MY MAN.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE
A STATEMENT

AT THIS TIME, MR. TAYLOR?

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE.

I'LL TAKE THAT AS A NO.

MR. GARNETT

I'VE NOTIFIED
THE D.A.'s OFFICE.

WE'RE READY TO TAKE YOUR CLIENT OVER FOR
ARRAIGNMENT.

THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING.

CHARLES, DO SOMETHING!

YEAH, COUNSELOR, WHY DON'T YOU
CLICK YOUR HEELS THREE TIMES

AND SAY,
"THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME."

YOU PLEAD TO THE ASSAULT
ON MS. KNOWLES.

YOU PLEAD TO THE MURDER
OF HER SISTER.

YOU SERVE CONCURRENT SENTENCES
OF 25 TO LIFE.

TWO FOR ONE, MR. TAYLOR.

THIS IS WHY
WE'RE HERE?

RAPE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER
ALONE

WILL GET YOU 25 YEARS.

IN THE MEANTIME,
THE POLICE WOULD CONTINUE

TO INVESTIGATE
JULIE GORHAM'S MURDER.

THEY TURN UP ANYTHING,
YOU'D FACE 25 YEARS.

YOU'D BE 80
BEFORE YOU SAW DAYLIGHT.

BUT I'M INNOCENT.

KEN, WE DON'T HAVE TO GIVE THEM
AN ANSWER RIGHT AWAY.

I DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT.

I SPENT TWO DAYS IN PRISON
BEFORE I GOT BAIL.

I'M NOT GOING BACK.

MR. TAYLOR,
ONCE YOU'RE INDICTED

IT'S TOO LATE.

YOU DEAL WITH THEM.

I'LL BE DOWNSTAIRS.

KEN...?

MR. GARNETT, IF YOU HAVEN'T
EXPLAINED THE FACTS OF LIFE

TO YOUR CLIENT...

I HAD THE TALK WITH HIM
BUT HE TELLS ME HE'S INNOCENT.

WHAT AM I
SUPPOSED TO DO?

WHEN ARE YOU PRESENTING
TO THE GRAND JURY?

DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

HE WANTS TO TALK TO THEM.

ABOUT WHAT?
HIS POLITICAL CONNECTIONS?

WE'LL SIGN
THE WAIVER OF IMMUNITY

WHENEVER IT'S READY.

MS. KNOWLES WAS CONVINCED I KILLED
HER SISTER.

OF COURSE, I WAS
THE OBVIOUS SUSPECT.

THE POLICE INVESTIGATED
ME THOROUGHLY.

THEY SEARCHED
MY HOTEL ROOM IN NEW YORK.

THEY SEARCHED MY HOME IN ALBANY.

THEY SEARCHED
MY PARENTS' HOME.

MY BROTHER'S BOAT,
HIS HOME, OUR CARS

BUT THEY DIDN'T FIND
ONE SHRED OF EVIDENCE.

NOT ONE, BUT THAT DIDN'T
CHANGE MS. KNOWLES'S MIND.

SHE JUST KEPT ON AFTER ME.

I THINK SHE'D DO ANYTHING
TO HARM ME.

EVEN PUT HERSELF IN A COMA?

I'M SURE SHE DIDN'T PLAN
ON ENDING UP IN A COMA

BUT SHE STAGED THIS ASSAULT.

THERE'S NO OTHER EXPLANATION.

SHE LIED
TO THE POLICE

ABOUT YOU HARASSING HER?

YES. I NEVER HARASSED HER.

I NEVER CALLED HER.

I NEVER FOLLOWED HER.

YOU MOVED TO
NEW YORK CITY

ONE MONTH AFTER SHE DID.

THAT'S A COINCIDENCE.

IT'S ALSO
A COINCIDENCE

THAT MS. KNOWLES
WAS INJECTED WITH DEMEROL?

JULIE KNEW I TOOK DEMEROL.

I'M SURE SHE TOLD CECILIA,
AND CECILIA INJECTED HERSELF.

AND THE LIGATURE MARKS
AND THE BRUISES ON HER THIGHS--

THEY WERE SELF-INFLICTED?

THEY HAD TO BE.

AND THE SEMEN?

MR. TAYLOR, TWO LABORATORIES
INDEPENDENTLY CONFIRMED

YOUR DNA MATCHED THE SEMEN
FOUND AT THE SCENE.

THEY MUST HAVE MADE A MISTAKE.

IS THAT YOUR BEST ANSWER?

NO.

I HAD TWO SEXUAL ENCOUNTERS

THE WEEK BEFORE MS. KNOWLES
WAS ATTACKED.

WHILE YOUR FIANCEE
WAS OUT OF TOWN?

YES.

I MET THE WOMEN
THROUGH AN ESCORT SERVICE--

PRIVATE ENCOUNTERS.

I SAW ONE
ON SATURDAY

THE OTHER ONE
ON MONDAY NIGHT.

ARE YOU SUGGESTING
MS. KNOWLES

USED A PROSTITUTE
TO OBTAIN YOUR SEMEN?

SHE HAD TO.

CAN YOU PRODUCE
EITHER OF THESE WOMEN

TO CORROBORATE
THIS THEORY?

NO. I DON'T KNOW
THEIR REAL NAMES.

THIS IS A HECK OF A STORY,
MR. TAYLOR.

NO WONDER YOU
WERE SO ANXIOUS

TO TELL IT
TO THE GRAND JURY.

I CAME HERE
BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.

I ADMITTED CHEATING
ON MY FIANCEE.

AN ADMISSION
WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE

SINCE, AS I'M SURE
YOUR ATTORNEY EXPLAINED TO YOU

GRAND JURY TRANSCRIPTS
ARE SEALED.

DO YOU THINK IT'S EASY
FOR ME TO SIT HERE

IN FRONT OF ALL THESE PEOPLE?

I THINK YOU LIE
AS EFFORTLESSLY AS I BREATHE.

I AM NOT LYING!

I AM BEING FRAMED.

BY A WOMAN IN A COMA?

SHE'S CRAZY.
SHE WAS OBSESSED WITH ME.

MR. TAYLOR...

ASK HER FRIENDS.

SHE WAS EVEN SEEING A SHRINK.

MR. TAYLOR,
YOUR STATEMENT IS OVER.

RAPE ONE, ASSAULT ONE,
ATTEMPTED MURDER TWO.

ROUND ONE
TO YOU.

WE'LL SEE YOU
IN MOTIONS COURT.

THE TRIED AND TRUE--

WHEN YOU HAVE NO CASE,
FILE A MOTION.

LET'S NOT BE TOO SMUG.

TAYLOR HAS TWO
POTENTIAL WITNESSES

WITH A TRACK RECORD

OF DOING ANYTHING
FOR MONEY.

THE PROSTITUTES?

SHOULDN'T WE FIND THEM
BEFORE HE DOES?

IF THEY EXIST.

ANY MENTION HE WAS A SUSPECT

IN JULIE GORHAM'S DEATH
WOULD BE INFLAMMATORY.

PEOPLE v. MOLINEUX--
PRIOR BAD ACTS

ARE ADMISSIBLE TO
ESTABLISH MOTIVE.

THE FACT CECILIA
KNOWLES BLAMED

HIM FOR HER
SISTER'S DEATH

IS THE REASON HE
TRIED TO KILL HER.

PURE SPECULATION.

IT'S AN ISSUE
OF FACT.

I AGREE.

THE JURY CAN MAKE THE CALL.

I'M GOING TO LET THEM HEAR
ABOUT MS. GORHAM'S DEATH.

NEXT UP.

SPEAKING OF PRIOR BAD ACTS.

I WANT TO PRESENT EVIDENCE
OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE

BY THE LABS USED
FOR DNA TESTING.

ANY PROBLEMS AT THE LABS
HAVE LONG SINCE BEEN RESOLVED.

THESE INCIDENTS OCCURRED
JUST TWO YEARS AGO.

OH, PLEASE. MOTION DENIED.

WHAT ELSE?

THIS SO-CALLED HARASSMENT
OF MS. KNOWLES...

KNOWLES MADE A REPORT
TO THE ALBANY POLICE.

YOUR HONOR, HOW AM I SUPPOSED

TO CROSS-EXAMINE
A POLICE REPORT?

THANKS TO HIS CLIENT

MS. KNOWLES
IS UNABLE TO TESTIFY

ABOUT THE TERROR
HE VISITED ON HER.

THIS REPORT
IS THE NEXT BEST THING.

AS LONG
AS HE CAN AUTHENTICATE IT

I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM

HERE, MR. GARNETT.

MOTION DENIED
AGAIN.

NEXT ITEM.

THAT'S IT.
I HAVE NO MORE MOTIONS.

THEN WE'RE DONE.

I'LL SEE YOU GENTLEMEN AT TRIAL.

IT TOOK SOME DOING, BUT WE FOUND
THE GUY

THAT RUNS THE
ESCORT SERVICE.

AND HE'S COOPERATING?

WE'RE NOMINATING HIM
FOR CITIZEN OF THE YEAR.

TAYLOR PUT
HIS HORIZONTAL HULA CLASSES

ON HIS CREDIT CARD.

THERE'S A CHARGE
FOR THE SATURDAY

BEFORE KNOWLES
WAS ATTACKED.

WE TALKED
TO THE GIRL.

SHE MET TAYLOR AT HIS PLACE AT 3:00 IN THE
AFTERNOON.

AT 5:00, SHE WAS ON
A PLANE OUT OF NEWARK.

WENT TO VEGAS TO WORK
A GARMENT CONVENTION.

SHE DIDN'T RETURN TILL
THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND.

WHAT ABOUT
MISS MONDAY NIGHT?

THERE'S NO RECORD
TAYLOR HAD A DATE.

COULD'VE PAID CASH

BUT THE SERVICE WOULD
HAVE A BOOKING SLIP.

DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

HE'D LIE ABOUT THIS ONE
AND NOT THE OTHER.

OUR CITIZEN OF THE YEAR

IS ARRANGING FOR US
TO TALK TO THE BOOKER--

THE GIRL WHO HANDLED
THE PHONES THAT MONDAY.

GOOD-- AS SOON
AS YOU KNOW ANYTHING.

YOU DON'T ACTUALLY SWALLOW TAYLOR'S
COCK-AND-BULL STORY?

IT'S A MATTER OF WHAT HE CAN GET
A JURY TO SWALLOW.

HIS LAWYER WANTS
TO MEET WITH US TOMORROW.

IF YOU HEAR ANYTHING BY THEN,
LET ME KNOW.

IT'S BECOME OBVIOUS TO US

THAT, NO MATTER HOW UNJUST,
WE HAVE NO HOPE

OF PREVAILING
AT TRIAL

SO WE'D LIKE TO TALK
ABOUT A PLEA BARGAIN.

YOU KNOW OUR TERMS.

THEY'RE UNACCEPTABLE.

WE MIGHT AS WELL TAKE
OUR CHANCES WITH A JURY.

WE'RE PREPARED TO ACCEPT

15 TO 25 ON A PLEA

TO THE ASSAULT
ON MS. KNOWLES.

WE'RE NOT ADMITTING
ANYTHING

ON THE GORHAM
MURDER.

15 YEARS, HE'LL BE OUT
AND MS. KNOWLES, MOST LIKELY

WILL STILL BE
IN A COMA.

I KNOW WHAT JUDGES
HAVE BEEN HANDING OUT

FOR THIS KIND OF OFFENSE.

15 YEARS IS IN
THE BALLPARK.

I TALKED TO MS. KNOWLES'
SOCIAL WORKER.

AT THE PRESENT STANDARD OF CARE

SHE'LL EXHAUST HER MEDICAL
INSURANCE IN TWO YEARS.

AFTER THAT, THINGS
GET VERY BLEAK.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT DO YOU WANT?

HE FORFEITS ALL HIS ASSETS
TO COVER HER MEDICAL EXPENSES.

ANYTHING BEYOND THAT COMES OUT OF HIS
FUTURE EARNINGS.

THAT'S THE DEAL.

IT'S OUTRAGEOUS!
KEN, WAIT.

ALL RIGHT,
LET'S SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE.

THE MINIMUM SENTENCE HERE
IS 12 1/2 YEARS.

HE DOES THAT, PLUS
THE MEDICAL EXPENSES, OKAY?

KEN, IT DOESN'T MEAN

WE'LL STOP TRYING
TO PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE.

OKAY.

SEND US THE
PAPERWORK.

I WANT ALL HIS FINANCIALS
BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

WE DIDN'T TELL THEM

THE COPS ARE TALKING
TO THE ESCORT SERVICE.

WE'RE UNDER
NO OBLIGATION.

IT ISN'T EXCULPATORY.

IT ISN'T UP TO US
TO DO THEIR WORK FOR THEM.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'LL FIND.

ABBIE, HE CONFESSED.

CASE OVER.

YOU COUNT IT AS A TOUCHDOWN.

I'LL WAIT
FOR THE INSTANT REPLAY.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THE SERVICE
GAVE YOU MY NAME.

THEY TELL YOU ALL I DO
IS ANSWER THEIR PHONES?

AND BOOK THE APPOINTMENTS.

OKAY, SURE.
I DO THAT.

SO YOU WANT ME TO GIVE THE MONEY BACK OR
SOMETHING?

SOMEBODY WE'RE LOOKING AT
CLAIMS HE GOT A GIRL

FROM YOUR SERVICE
LAST MONTH.

ON THE NIGHT OF THE 12th.
A MONDAY.

EVERY CALL GETS
A BOOKING SLIP.

THIS ONE DIDN'T.

THE NAME'S KEN TAYLOR,
ON 57th.

HE'S BOOKED WITH YOU
BEFORE.

WE GET 100 CALLS A NIGHT.

THE AUTHOR WANTS
"PORTLY PANDAS."

THEY LOOK PORTLY TO YOU?

WHAT'S THE DEAL, MICHELLE?

YOU MAKE APPOINTMENTS
OFF THE BOOKS

SPLIT THE CASH
WITH THE GIRLS?

I GOT A DEADLINE HERE.

WE KNOW TAYLOR
CALLED THE SERVICE THAT NIGHT.

WE CAN SHOW YOU
THE PHONE RECORDS.

WE CAN SEND A COPY
TO YOUR BOSS, IF YOU LIKE.

PLEASE DON'T DO THAT.

I NEED THE JOB.

THEN PLAY BALL.

THIS GIRL I KNOW, TINA

SHE CALLED ME ASKING
IF TAYLOR EVER BOOKED WITH US.

I TOLD HER, "SURE."

SHE SAY WHY? SHE SAID HE OWED HER MONEY.

YOU HAVE TINA'S NUMBER?

SHE HAD A PAGER,
BUT IT GOT DISCONNECTED.

HOW ELSE WILL WE FIND HER?

THROUGH ANOTHER SERVICE?

NO. SHE FINDS CLIENTS
AT THE HOTELS.

I KNOW SHE SPENDS A LOT OF TIME
IN THE BAR AT THE SWANSON.

THE BARTENDER
AT THE SWANSON

TOLD US YOU'RE THERE
AT LEAST THREE NIGHTS A WEEK.

MS. KNOWLES WAS THERE
THE NIGHT SHE WAS ATTACKED.

THE NIGHT AFTER
YOU SAW KEN TAYLOR.

I DON'T KNOW KEN.

WELL, I BET HE
REMEMBERS YOU.

WE PUT YOU
IN A LINEUP

EVEN BLINDFOLDED,
HE'D PICK YOU OUT.

SO THE WAY TO GO HERE...

IS NICE AND EASY.

OKAY... WE GO THAT WAY.

WHAT KIND OF CHARGES?

DON'T COOPERATE
AND YOU'LL FIND OUT.

CECILIA APPROACHED ME

AT THE SWANSON, A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE.

I WASN'T THE FIRST GIRL
THAT SHE TALKED TO.

SHE TOLD ME
THAT THIS GUY TAYLOR

HAD BEEN
BOTHERING HER

AND THAT SHE WANTED TO
GET SOMETHING ON HIM.

SHE KNEW HE CALLED
THE ESCORTS.

SHE SAID SHE'D PAY ME
TO FIND OUT WHICH SERVICE.

IS THIS SOMETHING
YOU'VE DONE BEFORE?

NO...

BUT I KNOW GIRLS
WHO'VE DONE IT...

FOR WIVES... GIRLFRIENDS.

I CALLED SOME BOOKERS I KNEW.

I GOT THE INFORMATION
CECILIA WANTED

AND THEN SHE OFFERED ME
MORE MONEY

TO ARRANGE TO MEET HIM.

AND TO GET A
SEMEN SAMPLE?

YEAH.

I MADE SURE
HE USED A CONDOM AND I...

GAVE IT TO HER
THE NEXT DAY.

DID SHE SAY WHAT SHE WAS GOING
TO DO WITH IT?

SHE TOLD ME
TAYLOR KILLED HER SISTER.

SHE SAID SHE WAS GOING
TO MAKE HIM PAY FOR IT.

SHE GOT WIND HE WAS MOVING
TO NEW YORK

WHEN HIS OFFICE SENT A HOUSING
REQUEST TO THE TRAVEL DIVISION

AND GAVE HER TIME TO SIGN
A LEASE BEFORE HE DID.

SO THIS HARASSMENT
WAS A WORK OF FICTION.

ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE.

ONE OF HER COWORKERS AT THE TRAVEL AGENCY
TAKES DEMEROL.

THE ONLY THING
SHE DIDN'T COUNT ON

WAS THE ALLERGIC REACTION.

HAVE WE TOLD MR. TAYLOR?

WE TOLD HIS LAWYER.

WELL, YOU GOT AN INNOCENT MAN

TO CONFESS TO A CRIME
HE DIDN'T COMMIT.

MAYBE THIS JOB'S GETTING
TOO EASY FOR YOU.

I KNOW. I KNOW.

I WAS GOING TO SAY

I'LL GET STARTED
ON THE DISMISSAL NOTICE.

A MAN SO SELF-ABSORBED,
SO ARROGANT...

IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME
HE MIGHT BE INNOCENT.

OR THAT CECILIA KNOWLES
MIGHT BE SO DESPERATE.

90% OF CASES ARE CIRCUMSTANTIAL.

WE CAN ONLY GO WHERE
THE BEST EVIDENCE LEADS US.

AND IF WE STUMBLE ACROSS JUSTICE
ALONG THE WAY, GREAT.

YOU SEE JULIE GORHAM'S FILE
ON THE TABLE?

YES.

LOOK IN THE SEARCH INVENTORY.

"A BARN ON FIVE ACRES OF FARMLAND IN
SCHOHARIE COUNTY

BELONGING TO THE TAYLOR FAMILY."

NO BARN, NO FARMLAND.

IT WAS ON THE LIST OF ASSETS
TAYLOR SENT OVER

FOR THE PLEA BARGAIN.

THEY SEARCHED
EVERY PIECE OF PROPERTY

TAYLOR AND HIS FAMILY OWNED
TO FIND GORHAM'S BODY.

WHY DIDN'T THEY
SEARCH THIS BARN?

MAYBE HE BOUGHT IT
RECENTLY.

LET'S HAVE THE POLICE
LOOK INTO IT.

TAYLOR'S OLD MAN WAS A LAWYER.

A CLIENT GAVE HIM
THE BARN SIX YEARS AGO

AS PAYMENT FOR SERVICES

BUT THE TITLE WAS
NEVER TRANSFERRED

UNTIL AFTER THE OLD
MAN DIED LAST YEAR.

MAYBE TAYLOR
WASN'T AWARE

HIS FATHER OWNED IT
UNTIL THEN.

WELL, MA AND PA KETTLE
NEXT DOOR

REMEMBERED TAYLOR
AND HIS DAD

BEING OUT HERE
FIVE YEARS AGO.

IT'S OVER HERE.

SHE'S IN SOME KIND
OF CANVAS BAG.

WE HAVE A MANNER OF DEATH?

SKULL'S CRUSHED IN ON THE LEFT
SIDE.

WHAT'S THAT LABEL SAY?

"MARINE PLUS."

COULD BE A SAIL BAG.

TAYLOR'S BROTHER KEEPS A BOAT IN THE CITY
MARINA.

THESE ARE THE DIRT MARKS
ON THE SAIL BAG

THAT HELD THE REMAINS
OF JULIE GORHAM.

THIS IS A SECTION
OF THE DECK

OF YOUR BROTHER'S BOAT.

THE CHARACTERISTICS
OF THE NON-SKID PATTERN

ARE UNIQUELY CONSISTENT
WITH THE MARKS

ON THE SAIL BAG.

THE ONLY PATTERNS
THAT MATTER

ARE MY CLIENT'S FINGERPRINTS,
WHICH I ASSUME

YOU DIDN'T FIND.

WE WERE WRONG ONCE, MR. GARNETT.

WE'RE NOT WRONG THIS TIME.

WHY ARE DOING
THIS TO ME?

I DIDN'T KILL JULIE!

IT'S CECILIA!
IT'S ALL CECILIA!

I GUESS THAT MEANS
WE CAN FORGET ABOUT A PLEA.

I DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES
TWICE, EITHER.

I'M GOING TO ENJOY
PUTTING YOUR CLIENT IN JAIL.

BLAME THE WOMAN
IN A COMA

HELL OF A STRATEGY.

WHAT A WEASEL.

YEAH, AND THE JURY
BETTER NOT HEAR ABOUT IT.

IT'S ABSURD.

AND SO IS HIRING
A PROSTITUTE

TO EXTRACT EVIDENCE
FROM MR. TAYLOR.

FROM TAYLOR'S LAWYER--

HE WANTS CECILIA'S
PSYCHIATRIC RECORDS.

MS. KNOWLES HAD BEEN
SEEING A SHRINK

FOR SEVEN YEARS
BEFORE MOVING TO THE CITY.

I BELIEVE THOSE RECORDS
CONTAIN EVIDENCE

OF HER OBSESSION
WITH MY CLIENT

AND OF HER CULPABILITY
IN THE DEATH OF HER SISTER.

SHE WAS OBSESSED WITH HIM
BECAUSE HE KILLED HER SISTER!

HER OBSESSION WITH HIM
PREDATES HER SISTER'S DEATH.

YOUR HONOR, HE THINKS
HE CAN SAY ANYTHING HE WANTS

BECAUSE MS. KNOWLES ISN'T HERE
TO DEFEND HERSELF.

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

MR. GARNETT, THOSE
RECORDS ARE PRIVILEGED

UNLESS MS. KNOWLES OR HER
LEGAL GUARDIAN WAIVES IT.

THERE'S NO LEGAL GUARDIAN.

SHE'S IN A COMA
WITH LITTLE HOPE

OF REGAINING
CONSCIOUSNESS.

I MEAN, WHAT AM I
SUPPOSED TO DO?

WITHOUT THOSE RECORDS, MY CLIENT
IS SWINGING IN THE WIND.

SORRY, MR. GARNETT, YOU
CAN'T HAVE THE RECORDS.

ALL RIGHT, YOUR HONOR.

THEN I WANT
TO PRESENT EVIDENCE

MS. KNOWLES TRIED TO FRAME
MY CLIENT FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER.

THEN I'LL PRESENT
THE JURY

WITH MR. TAYLOR'S OFFER
TO PLEAD GUILTY.

NEITHER OF YOU WILL
PRESENT ANYTHING

ABOUT THOSE INCIDENTS
TO THE JURY.

YOUR HONOR, YOU'RE
DENYING MY CLIENT

THE RIGHT TO OFFER AN ALTERNATE THEORY OF
THE CRIME?

YOU CAN PRESENT YOUR THEORY

JUST NOT WITH THIS EVIDENCE.

O'Mally: EXCEPT FOR A CALL FROM HIS HOTEL
ROOM

TO THE AIRLINE
AT HALF PAST MIDNIGHT

WE COULDN'T VERIFY
THE WHEREABOUTS OF MR. TAYLOR

FROM THE TIME MS. GORHAM'S PLANE
LANDED AT LaGUARDIA AT 9:00 P.M.

UNTIL 7:30 THE NEXT MORNING.

WE DID ESTABLISH HE HAD
A RENTAL CAR AT HIS DISPOSAL.

WHAT THEORY DID YOU FORM

AS TO MS. GORHAM'S
DISAPPEARANCE?

MR. TAYLOR PICKED HER UP
AT THE AIRPORT.

THEY HAD AN ARGUMENT

POSSIBLY OVER HER DECISION
TO BREAK UP WITH HIM.

MR. TAYLOR KILLED MS. GORHAM,
DROVE TO THE HOTEL

TO CALL THE AIRLINE
TO ESTABLISH AN ALIBI.

HE GOT A SAIL BAG
FROM HIS BROTHER'S BOAT

AND BURIED HER IN THE BAG
IN HIS BARN UPSTATE.

THANK YOU.

DETECTIVE, DID ANY WITNESS
POSITIVELY IDENTIFY MS. GORHAM

ON THE FLIGHT
FROM ALBANY?

POSITIVELY? NO.

BUT HER BOARDING PASS WAS USED.

THE STEWARDESS SAW A WOMAN
OCCUPYING HER SEAT.

DO YOU KNOW HOW MS. GORHAM
GOT FROM HER HOME

TO THE ALBANY AIRPORT?

WE ASSUME SHE
TOOK A CAB.

DID YOU FIND THE CAB
THAT DROVE HER?

NO.

HMM.

WHO TOLD YOU THAT MS. GORHAM

DECIDED TO BREAK UP
WITH MY CLIENT?

HER SISTER, CECILIA KNOWLES.

BUT WE HAD OTHER WITNESSES

WHO SAW YOUR CLIENT
AND MS. GORHAM

FIGHTING
IN PUBLIC.

DID YOU VERIFY MS. KNOWLES'S
WHEREABOUTS THAT NIGHT?

SHE SAID SHE WAS AT HOME
IN ALBANY.

WE DIDN'T VERIFY IT.

SHE WASN'T
A SUSPECT.

ISN'T IT POSSIBLE

SHE DROVE HER SISTER
TO THE AIRPORT?

I SUPPOSE.

ISN'T IT POSSIBLE

SHE GOT ON THE PLANE
AND NOT HER SISTER?

ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE.

I DON'T SEE
WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT.

WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS

MS. KNOWLES KILLED HER SISTER
ON THE WAY

TO THE ALBANY AIRPORT

LEFT THE BODY
IN HER CAR

AND THEN FLEW TO
NEW YORK IN HER PLACE.

ISN'T THAT POSSIBLE?

NO, IT ISN'T.

BECAUSE YOUR CLIENT
KILLED JULIE GORHAM.

YOU NEVER SEARCHED
MS. KNOWLES'S CAR, DID YOU?

NO.

DEFENSE'S 12...

FROM THE DEPARTMENT
OF MOTOR VEHICLES.

WOULD IT SURPRISE YOU

SHE TRADED HER CAR IN
ONE MONTH

AFTER HER SISTER'S MURDER?

OBJECTION. THIS IS
IRRELEVANT AND INFLAMMATORY.

IT'S EVIDENCE.

APPROACH.

THE FACT THAT MS. KNOWLES
GOT RID OF HER CAR

DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING.

THERE ARE DOZENS
OF POSSIBLE REASONS.

I HAVE AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT

TO PRESENT MY REASONS
TO THE JURY.

HE'S TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF THE FACT

MS. KNOWLES CAN'T
EXPLAIN HER ACTIONS.

THIS IS EXACTLY
THE SORT OF THING

WE ASKED YOUR HONOR
TO PREVENT.

THE JURORS AREN'T BABIES,
MR. McCOY.

THEY CAN DECIDE
WHETHER TO ACCEPT

OR REJECT
MR. GARNETT'S THEORIES.

OBJECTION
OVERRULED.

Larry Taylor: EVERY TIME MY BROTHER WAS IN
TOWN

KENNY WOULD BRING JULIE
DOWN TO THE BOAT.

A FEW TIMES,
THEY BROUGHT CECILIA.

THEY WERE TRYING TO
FIX ME UP WITH HER.

ONE TIME, I ASKED HER
TO COME SAILING

WITH ME-- JUST
THE TWO OF US.

HOW DID SHE RESPOND?

OBJECTION. HEARSAY.

RES GESTAE, YOUR HONOR.

IT'S FOUNDATIONAL.

I'LL ALLOW IT.

ANSWER HIS QUESTION,
MR. TAYLOR.

SHE SAID SHE WASN'T
INTERESTED IN ME

THAT WAY;
THAT SHE HAD HER EYE ON KENNY.

DID YOU TELL YOUR BROTHER?

NO.

I DIDN'T WANT
TO CAUSE HIM

ANY PROBLEMS
WITH JULIE.

DID YOU
AND YOUR BROTHER

EVER MENTION YOUR FATHER'S BARN

IN MS. GORHAM'S PRESENCE?

YES. A FEW TIMES.

WE TALKED ABOUT BUYING
THE LAND NEXT DOOR

AND BUILDING A COUNTRY HOUSE.

DID YOU EVER TALK ABOUT IT
IN FRONT OF MS. KNOWLES?

I MENTIONED OUR PLANS, YES.

NO MORE QUESTIONS.

YOU LOVE YOUR KID BROTHER
VERY MUCH

DON'T YOU, MR. TAYLOR?

YES.

I'M SURE HE FEELS VERY KINDLY
TOWARD YOU RIGHT NOW.

WHEN MS. GORHAM
DISAPPEARED

DID YOU MENTION
MS. KNOWLES'S FEELINGS

TOWARD YOUR BROTHER
TO THE POLICE?

NO. IT DIDN'T SEEM RELEVANT.

BUT IT SEEMS RELEVANT NOW?

YES.

BECAUSE IT SUGGESTS

SOMEONE ELSE HAD A REASON
TO KILL MS. GORHAM?

YES.

SOMEONE OTHER THAN
THE KID BROTHER

YOU LOVE VERY MUCH.

WITHDRAWN.

I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION.

I MEAN, MY OWN SISTERS

AND I DON'T ALWAYS
SEE EYE TO EYE.

IT DOESN'T
MEAN ANYTHING.

YOUR HONOR, REQUEST PERMISSION
TO TREAT AS HOSTILE.

GO AHEAD.

MS. WEHNER,
WEREN'T YOU PRESENT

DURING AN ARGUMENT
BETWEEN MS. KNOWLES

AND HER SISTER TWO WEEKS BEFORE
MS. GORHAM'S DISAPPEARANCE?

YES.

AND WASN'T
THE ARGUMENT

OVER MS. GORHAM'S RELATIONSHIP WITH MY
CLIENT? YES.

AND DIDN'T MS. KNOWLES
EXPRESS THE OPINION

THAT MY CLIENT WAS THE WRONG MAN FOR MS.
GORHAM?

YES. AND HE WAS.

I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOUR OPINION,
MS. WEHNER.

SEVEN YEARS AGO...

WASN'T THERE AN INCIDENT
BETWEEN MS. KNOWLES

AND A MARRIED COWORKER
IN YOUR OFFICE?

YES, BUT...

SHE MADE
UNWANTED ADVANCES

AND SENT HIM
INAPPROPRIATE LETTERS...

OBJECTION. RELEVANCE.

OVERRULED.

ANSWER THE QUESTION,
MS. WEHNER.

YES, SHE DID THAT.

AND AFTER THIS MAN

COMPLAINED TO YOU

YOU HAD A CONVERSATION
WITH MS. KNOWLES.

WHAT DID YOU
TELL HER?

I TOLD HER
SHE SHOULD SEE A THERAPIST.

THANK YOU.

TO YOUR KNOWLEDGE

DID CECILIA EVER HURT
OR THREATEN HER SISTER?

NO.

JULIE WAS EVERYTHING TO CECILIA.

EVER SINCE THEIR PARENTS DIED

CECILIA WORKED
TO SUPPORT JULIE

TO PAY FOR HER COLLEGE, HER BOOKS.

SHE SACRIFICED SO MUCH FOR HER.

MR. McCOY WANTS YOU
TO PUT YOUR BRAINS ON AUTOPILOT

TO BLINDLY ACCEPT THAT

OF COURSE,
KEN TAYLOR HAD A BAD TEMPER

OF COURSE,
JULIE WAS BREAKING UP WITH HIM

OF COURSE,
SHE LANDED AT LaGUARDIA

OF COURSE... HE KILLED HER
AND DUMPED HER BODY IN HIS BARN.

OF COURSE, OF COURSE.

MR. McCOY DOESN'T WANT YOU
TO CONCERN YOURSELF

WITH ANOTHER
PERFECTLY REASONABLE THEORY

THAT IT WAS CECILIA KNOWLES
WHO WAS JEALOUS OF JULIE GORHAM

WHO KILLED HER, TOOK HER PLACE

ON THE PLANE, TOOK A SAIL BAG
FROM HER BOAT AND BURIED HER

IN MR. TAYLOR'S BARN,
AND CECILIA DID THIS

BECAUSE SHE WAS... OBSESSED...
WITH MY CLIENT.

SHE WANTED TO POSSESS HIM,
CONTROL HIM.

WHERE'S THE PROOF?

I WANTED YOU TO HEAR
WHAT SHE TOLD HER THERAPIST

BUT MR. McCOY
HAD THOSE RECORDS SUPPRESSED.

OBJECTION.
FACTS NOT IN EVIDENCE.

MR. GARNETT, YOU'VE MADE YOUR
POINT.

MOVE ON.

CECILIA KNOWLES SET OUT TO FRAME
MY CLIENT, AND IT WORKED.

SHE FOOLED MR. McCOY.

HE'S AS MUCH A VICTIM OF HER
MACHINATIONS AS MY CLIENT.

YOUR HONOR...

IT'S SUMMATION, MR. McCOY.

HE'S ALLOWED TO ARGUE HIS CASE.

GO ON.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

THIS ISN'T
THE FIRST TIME MR. McCOY

HAS BEEN FOOLED
BY CECILIA KNOWLES.

HE DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW

BUT SHE'S
DONE THIS BEFORE.

OBJECTION.

FACTS NOT
IN EVIDENCE.

SUSTAINED.
WRAP IT UP, MR. GARNETT.

THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

SIDEBAR, YOUR HONOR.

DENIED.

MR. GARNETT?

HE'S BRINGING UP FACTS
NOT ADDUCED AT TRIAL.

I WANT YOUR HONOR
TO INSTRUCT THE JURY TO...

SIT DOWN, MR. McCOY.

YOUR HONOR
MADE RULINGS.

THE PEOPLE RELIED ON THEM.

I WANT HIS SUMMATION
STRICKEN FROM THE RECORD.

I'LL DO NO SUCH THING.

YOUR HONOR, YOU'RE LEAVING US
WITH NO REMEDY.

IF YOU WON'T UPHOLD
YOUR OWN RULINGS...

BE QUIET, MR. McCOY.

NOW SIT DOWN.

SO, EVEN IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE
CECILIA KNOWLES

KILLED HER OWN SISTER,
YOU MUST ADMIT

IT'S POSSIBLE SHE DID...

AND THAT'S REASONABLE DOUBT.

CECILIA KNOWLES ISN'T HERE TODAY

BECAUSE, AS YOU KNOW,
SHE'S IN A COMA.

YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TOLD
WHY SHE'S IN A COMA.

MR. GARNETT ALLUDED
TO THE REASON.

I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WHY.

OBJECTION.

SHE DID IT IN A DESPERATE
CRAZED ATTEMPT...

SUSTAINED.

...TO CALL ATTENTION TO THE FACT

THAT MR. TAYLOR HAD GOTTEN AWAY

WITH THE MURDER OF HER SISTER.

I SAID, "SUSTAINED."

SHE WAS SO CONVINCED

OF HIS GUILT,
SHE WAS READY TO PUT HERSELF

IN JEOPARDY TO SEE THIS VICIOUS
KILLER BROUGHT TO TRIAL.

MR. McCOY!

AND WHILE SHE LIES
IN A HOSPITAL BED, THIS COURT

HAS SEEN FIT
TO ALLOW THE DEFENSE

TO SPECULATE ABOUT
HER STATE OF MIND...

THAT'S ENOUGH.

...AND HOLD HER UP AS A PATSY
FOR MR. TAYLOR.

AND SINCE THIS COURT
DOESN'T HAVE THE GUTS

TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS
OF THE WEAK

AND VOICELESS...

YOU'RE IN CONTEMPT, MR. McCOY.

...IT'S FOR THE JURY
TO SEE JUSTICE DONE

AND JUSTICE IN THIS CASE
IS HOLDING KEN TAYLOR

AND ONLY KEN TAYLOR

RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH

OF JULIA GORHAM.
THAT'S IT.

I AM DECLARING
AN IMMEDIATE MISTRIAL.

OH, YOUR HONOR...

SIT DOWN,
MR. GARNETT.

YOU OPENED THE DOOR FOR THIS.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

YOU'RE DISMISSED
WITH MY APOLOGIES

ON BEHALF OF COUNSEL.

WE'RE ADJOURNED.

YOUR ASSISTANT
SAID YOU WERE HERE.

I HAD TO SIGN A RELEASE

FOR CECILIA KNOWLES'S
POSSESSIONS.

THE HOSPITAL DIDN'T KNOW

WHAT TO DO
WITH THEM.

WE'RE GETTING ANOTHER SHOT
AT MR. TAYLOR.

MAYBE NOT.

I ASKED THE POLICE
TO TRACK DOWN HER CAR.

IT TURNED UP IN OHIO.

FORENSICS FOUND TWO STRANDS
OF JULIE GORHAM'S HAIR.

THEY WERE FRIENDS.

I'M SURE SHE RODE
IN HER SISTER'S CAR.

IN THE TRUNK?

OF COURSE...

THE HAIRS COULD HAVE COME OFF
OF A BLANKET OR SOME LUGGAGE.

WE'LL ASK HER...

WHEN SHE WAKES UP.
