All language subtitles for Murder One S02E03 Chapter 3 Year 2.DVDRip.NonHI.cc.en.20FOX

THE VICTIM'S WIFE.

MR. WYLER, MY HUSBAND
ONCE SAID TO ME...

IF HE WAS EVER FOUND FACEDOWN
WITH A BULLET IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD,

LOOK TO MALCOLM DIETRICH.

DIRTY POLITICS.

DO YOU KNOW IF GARFIELD HAD
ANYBODY IN THE VAN ALLAN CAMPAIGN?

IF GARFIELD DID HAVE SOMEBODY
ELSE IN VAN ALLAN'S CAMPAIGN,

I THINK I'D KINDA BE OBLIGED TO,
LIKE, BRING IT BACK TO MY OWN PEOPLE.

HOW MUCH WOULD IT TAKE TO,
UH, GET THE NAME OF THIS MOLE?

$25,000.

THE GUYS REDOIN' THE WALLS,
THEY FOUND THESE IN THE OUTLETS.

- MICROPHONES.
- I BETTER GET IN TOUCH
WITH TERRY PHILBRICK.

IF SOMEONE IN GARFIELD'S CAMP
KNOWS HE WAS WILLING TO SELL THEM OUT,

HE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT.

DO WE THINK IT'S A COINCIDENCE
THIS GUY PAYS US A VISIT...

AND THEN PARTIES
HIMSELF TO DEATH?

NO. WE THINK WE
GOT THIS GUY KILLED.

THERE'S A BUG IN YOUR SOUP, ROG.

CAN I ASSUME THE D.A.'s OFFICE IS
GONNA PROMOTE THIS CHARADE...

THAT TERRY PHILBRICK'S
DEATH WAS A SUICIDE?

WHY DON'T YOU TURN AROUND
AND WALK OUT OF HERE...

OR I'LL ASK THE MANAGEMENT
TO HAVE YOU REMOVED.

THE SECRET.

DIETRICH DID TO MY FATHER
WHAT HE DOES TO MOST PEOPLE.

HE BOUGHT HIM OFF. MY
FATHER DROPPED DEAD AT 54,

AND MY MOTHER'S BEEN CALLING
DIETRICH A MURDERER EVER SINCE.

THAT'S THE DIRTY LITTLE
SECRET OF THE FAMILY.

THE REVELATION.

- DID YOU HAVE AN ABORTION?
- YES.

- WAS IT TOM VAN ALLAN'S BABY?
- YES.

HOW IN THE HELL CAN I BUILD A DEFENSE FOR
YOU? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS BEFORE?

WHY WOULD I TELL YOU? ABORTING MY
BABY'S THE WORST THING I'VE EVER DONE.

WORSE THAN KILLING TWO
PEOPLE IN COLD BLOOD?

I'VE BEEN, UH, GOING OVER
OUR ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AGAIN...

AND, UH, IT'S WORSE
THAN I THOUGHT.

SO I'VE ISSUED A MEMO DETAILING A
NUMBER OF WAYS WE CAN ALL ECONOMIZE.

IF WE PULL TOGETHER ON THIS,
MAYBE WE CAN AVOID CHAPTER 11. OKAY?

ITEM ONE... PARKING PERMITS.

NO PROBLEM THERE. THE
BANK'S ABOUT TO REPO MY CAR.

MAN, I'M GETTING NOSTALGIC
FOR THE P.D.'s OFFICE.

I HAD A VIEW OF A BRICK WALL, BUT
AT LEAST IT CAME WITH A PAYCHECK.

IF JIMMY COULD PAY US, HE WOULD.

YEAH. BUT HE CAN'T. CAN HE?

LOOK, I DON'T MEAN TO
RAG ON THE GUY, BUT...

- MORNING, EVERYONE.
- MORNING.

LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.

WHAT HAVE WE GOT
ON JUROR NUMBER SIX?

I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DIG
UP ANYTHING TO GET HIM BOUNCED.

- THEN WE NEED TO DIG DEEPER.
- GRASSO'S GOT KYLE ROONEY
ON THE STAND THIS AFTERNOON.

IS HE BRINGING IN ANYTHING
NEW THAT COULD HURT US?

MY GUESS IS, THOUGH, IS THAT HE'LL
WRAP HIMSELF IN MARITAL PRIVILEGE.

DO WE HAVE ANYTHING FROM THE CORONER'S
OFFICE ON TERRY PHILBRICK'S DEATH?

YEAH. TOXICOLOGY
RESULTS JUST CAME BACK.

THEY'RE CALLING IT ACCIDENTAL.

HMM. WHICH IS
WHERE IT'LL SEAL OFF.

THIS IS GETTIN' TO BE A
REAL HALL OF MIRRORS.

TERRY PHILBRICK WAS VAN ALLAN'S
MOLE IN GARFIELD'S CAMPAIGN,

AND HE WAS GONNA SELL US THE NAME OF
GARFIELD'S MOLE IN VAN ALLAN'S CAMPAIGN.

GOD, IT'S AMAZING THESE GUYS
HAVE TIME TO GET ANYONE ELECTED.

SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
THAT GIRL WHO TURNED UP...

ON THE PROSECUTION'S
WITNESS LIST YESTERDAY...

- ADRIENNE ORDUNO.
- SHE'S AN INMATE
AT SYBIL BRAND...

IN THE CELL ACROSS
FROM SHARON ROONEY.

HERE'S HER STATEMENT. SHE'S CLAIMING SHARON
CONFESSED TO HER SHE COMMITTED THE MURDERS.

JAILHOUSE SNITCH. NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE
GRASSO SCRAPING THE BOTTOM OF THAT BARREL.

JIMMY. ALWAYS A
PLEASURE. COME ON IN.

MIRIAM. DETECTIVE.

WHAT A SURPRISE.

LOTS OF TURNS IN
THE ROAD, COUNSELOR.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE
GONNA MEET AN OLD FRIEND.

THERE'S AN AMUSING STORY
GOING AROUND ABOUT YOU, A BUG...

AND ROGER GARFIELD'S SOUP.

I HEAR YOU REDECORATED
HIS SHIRT FRONT.

LET ME TELL YOU, MIRIAM. NOTHING
BRINGS OUT THE CADAVEROUS SKIN TONE...

LIKE A SPLASH OF LOBSTER BISQUE.

WELL, YOU LOOK WELL, ANYWAY.

OBVIOUSLY, DEFENDING
CRIMINALS SUITS YOU.

ACTUALLY, I WAS WONDERING WHY YOU
WERE USING ONE TO MAKE YOUR CASE.

YOU'RE REFERRING
TO ADRIENNE ORDUNO?

DRUG ADDICT, PROSTITUTE, LOOKING
AT A THIRD STRIKE IN HER A.D.W.

THIS GIRL'S GOT EVERY REASON
TO SPIN SOMETHIN' OUT OF CLOTH.

MAYBE. BUT SHE TOLD US WHERE YOUR
CLIENT STASHED A .22-CALIBER BERETTA.

WE MAKE IT TO BE
THE MURDER WEAPON.

HEY. HOW YA DOIN'?

LOT OF MAIL. ALREADY GOT
SEVEN PROPOSALS OF MARRIAGE.

DO YOU KNOW A WOMAN
NAMED ADRIENNE ORDUNO?

THERE'S A GIRL NAMED ADRIENNE IN THE CELL
ACROSS FROM ME. I DON'T KNOW HER LAST NAME.

YEAH, WELL, SHE'S TELLING THE
POLICE THAT YOU CONFESSED TO HER...

MURDERING THE GOVERNOR
AND MARLEE DONOVAN.

AND THAT YOU TOLD HER WHERE YOU
DUMPED THE GUN. IS THAT TRUE? NO.

ANY IDEA WHY SHE WOULD LIE?

NO. DID YOU HAVE A
FIGHT, AN ARGUMENT?

IS THERE ANY REASON THAT
SHE WOULD WANNA HURT YOU?

I BARELY KNOW HER. EXCEPT MAYBE TO
MAKE SMALL TALK, COMPLAIN ABOUT FOOD.

YOU SURE? I SWEAR IT.

ADRIENNE ORDUNO'S
VISITORS. THE USUAL PARADE...

BOYFRIEND, SISTER, ATTORNEY.

WHO'S THE ATTORNEY? JEFF
HOUGHTON, A REAL OIL SICK.

HE COULD BE THE BAGMAN
FOR WHOEVER SET SHARON UP.

YOU WANT ME TO
TALK TO HIM? NO POINT.

ANYBODY THAT CAN BUY BIG TIME
PERJURY KNOWS HOW TO STONEWALL.

ALSO, THE COPS DUMPED THE PHONE
AT TERRY PHILBRICK'S HOTEL ROOM.

THE LAST THREE CALLS
WENT TO LARRY WHITE.

WHY'S TERRY PHILBRICK CALLING
VAN ALLAN'S CAMPAIGN COORDINATOR?

MAYBE WE SHOULD ASK LARRY WHITE.

GOOD LUCK IN THERE. THANKS.

HAVE A SEAT, COUNSEL.

ON THE MATTER OF
FINANCIAL RELIEF,

THE MASTER CALENDAR JUDGE HAS REVIEWED
YOUR PETITION AND SENT IT BACK TO ME.

WHY IS THAT, YOUR HONOR?

BECAUSE HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT
THE RELEVANT NUMBERS ARE AND I DO.

YOUR HONOR, I OBJECT TO
YOU CONDUCTING THIS HEARING.

FIRST OF ALL, IT'S AN EX
PARTE COMMUNICATION...

I HAVE ASSURED MS. GRASSO THAT YOU
AND I ARE JUST CRUNCHING NUMBERS HERE.

NOW, SHE HAS NO PROBLEM.
NEITHER SHOULD YOU.

BEARING IN MIND THE FINANCIAL
CONSTRAINTS AFFECTING THIS COURT,

I AM CONFIDENT THAT YOU CAN
CONDUCT YOUR DEFENSE ADEQUATELY...

UNDER THIS BUDGET.

I DON'T SHARE YOUR
CONFIDENCE, YOUR HONOR.

THE CONSTITUTION ENTITLES
MY CLIENT TO A FAIR TRIAL.

AND I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT WE CAN PROVIDE
A VIGOROUS DEFENSE WITH THIS KIND OF MONEY.

YOU'RE A RESOURCEFUL MAN.
I'M SURE YOU'LL DO YOUR BEST.

YOUR HONOR, WHEN THE NEED
ARISES WE WILL RE-PETITION THIS COURT.

AS IS YOUR RIGHT.

BUT THIS IS A COURT OF
LAW, NOT AN A.T.M. MACHINE.

WELL, THANKS FOR THE
CLARIFICATION, YOUR HONOR.

SHARON HAD JUST
GOTTEN BACK FROM COURT.

SHE WAS PRETTY DOWN.

SHE TELLS ME SHE'S PROBABLY GONNA
GET CONVICTED, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER...

'CAUSE AT LEAST THE GOVERNOR AND
THAT BITCH GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED.

DID THE DEFENDANT TELL YOU
ANYTHING ELSE, MS. ORDUNO?

SHE SAID SHE THREW THE GUN
BEHIND A WALL ON P.C.H. NEAR BIG ROCK.

AND SHE SAID THAT HER
ONLY HOPE OF GETTIN' OFF...

WAS IF THE COPS DIDN'T FIND IT.

DO YOU KNOW IF THIS IS THE WEAPON,
RECOVERED BY DETECTIVE BIGGIO,

BASED UPON THE INFORMATION
THE DEFENDANT TOLD YOU?

OBJECTION. CALLS
FOR SPECULATION.

WITHDRAWN.

MS. ORDUNO, HAVE YOU EVER
BEEN CONVICTED OF A FELONY?

WHEN I WAS USIN'. BUT I'M CLEAN
NOW FOR OVER EIGHT MONTHS.

ARE YOU OFFERING TESTIMONY HERE
TODAY IN EXCHANGE FOR ANY ASSURANCES...

THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED FROM
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE...

REGARDING THE DISPOSITION
OF YOUR CURRENT CASE?

MY LAWYER SAID THAT IF I CAME
FORWARD AND TOLD THE TRUTH...

THAT THE D.A. WOULD KNOCK MY
ASSAULT CHARGE DOWN TO A MISDEMEANOR.

SO, YOU AREN'T PROVIDING
FALSE TESTIMONY HERE TODAY...

JUST TO GET YOURSELF OUT
OF A JAM, ARE YOU, MS. ORDUNO?

NO, MA'AM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

DID ANYONE ELSE EXCEPT YOU HAPPEN TO HEAR
SHARON ROONEY SAY THE THINGS YOU CLAIM SHE SAID?

ALL THE OTHER GIRLS IN OUR
CELL BLOCK WERE IN THE DAY ROOM.

SO, ALL WE HAVE IS YOUR WORD THAT THIS
CONVERSATION REALLY TOOK PLACE, RIGHT?

- I GUESS SO.
- HAVE YOU EVER INFORMED ON
AN INMATE BEFORE, MS. ORDUNO?

NEVER. BUT YOU'VE NEVER
FACED A THIRD STRIKE BEFORE.

YOU'VE NEVER FACED GOING
TO JAIL FOR 25 YEARS TO LIFE?

NO. SO JUST ABOUT
ANYONE IN YOUR SITUATION...

MIGHT BE TEMPTED TO COOK UP A STORY
TO BUY SOME CONSIDERATION FROM THE D.A.?

OBJECTION. ARGUMENTATIVE
AND CALLS FOR SPECULATION.

- SUSTAINED.
- HAVE YOU HAD ANY VISITORS
SINCE YOU'VE BEEN INCARCERATED?

YES. DID ANY OF THEM OFFER
TO PAY YOU FOR THIS TESTIMONY?

- NO.
- MS. ORDUNO, ARE YOU SERIOUSLY
ASKING THE JURY TO BELIEVE...

THAT SHARON ROONEY REVEALED THE
LOCATION OF THE MURDER WEAPON TO YOU...

EVEN THOUGH YOU CLAIM SHE ALSO SAID
HER ONLY HOPE OF AVOIDING CONVICTION...

WAS IF THE GUN WAS NEVER FOUND.

DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE TO YOU?

I DON'T KNOW WHY SHE SAID WHAT
SHE SAID. ALL I KNOW IS SHE SAID IT.

DOESN'T MAKE ANY
SENSE TO ME EITHER.

NOTHING FURTHER.

YOUR HONOR, ONE LAST
QUESTION ON REDIRECT.

MS. ORDUNO, IF YOU WERE TELLING
US A FAIRY TALE HERE TODAY,

HOW WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO LEAD
THE POLICE TO THE MURDER WEAPON?

I COULDN'T. THANK YOU.
NO MORE QUESTIONS.

I'LL HAVE THE SKINLESS
CHICKEN BREAST, GRILLED.

I WONDER IF YOU COULD HOLD THE
POTATOES AND GIVE ME STRING BEANS INSTEAD.

WE DON'T HAVE
STRING BEANS TODAY.

I KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE
THEM ON THE MENU, HONEY,

BUT I'LL BET IF YOU ASK,
JOSEPH WOULD RUSTLE SOME UP.

OKAY. I'LL ASK.

THIRTY-EIGHT. I'M ALREADY
WATCHING MY CHOLESTEROL.

MY OLD MAN DROPPED DEAD AT 40.

TERRY PHILBRICK, LARRY.

PHILBRICK. PHILBRICK.

HE WAS YOUR MOLE IN
THE GARFIELD CAMPAIGN.

TERRY'S NOT SOMEONE
YOU BRAG ABOUT KNOWING.

NO, ESPECIALLY DEAD.

THEY KNOW WHAT
HE WAS PARTYING ON?

WE DON'T THINK HE DIED
PARTYING, MR. WHITE.

I'M TRYING TO FIGURE THE
POINT OF THIS CONVERSATION.

WELL, THE LAST THREE PHONE CALLS FROM
PHILBRICK'S MOTEL ROOM WERE MADE TO YOU.

I'LL TAKE YOUR WORD FOR
IT, BUT I NEVER TALKED TO HIM.

PHILBRICK WAS AUCTIONING THE NAME OF
GARFIELD'S MOLE IN THE VAN ALLAN CAMPAIGN.

MAYBE HE WANTED TO
GIVE THE MOLE LAST BID.

LOOK, IF YOU'RE SUGGESTING THAT I BETRAYED
TOM VAN ALLAN, IT'S INSULTING AND RIDICULOUS.

- WHY?
- BECAUSE I IDOLIZED TOM
FROM THE DAY I GRADUATED USC...

AND STARTED RINGING DOORBELLS FOR
HIS FIRST CAMPAIGN FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.

IF MEMORY SERVES, JUDAS
STARTED OUT AS A FAN TOO.

OH, WELL, SO I GUESS YOU GO TO
A LOT OF OLIVER STONE MOVIES?

MALCOLM DIETRICH
PROVIDE THE SILVER, LARRY?

LOOK, JUST BECAUSE TERRY PHILBRICK
AND I HAD A FEW PHONE CONVERSATIONS...

DOESN'T MEAN I WAS
BETRAYING TOM VAN ALLAN.

- SO THOSE PHONE CALLS
WERE JUST BUSINESS AS USUAL?
- LOOK, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN...

WHAT YOU THINK THEY WERE.

WHO ELSE IS AWARE
OF THOSE CALLS?

THE COPS, LARRY.

WHICH MAKES YOU A LIABILITY.

AND TERRY PHILBRICK
DEAD ON A TOILET...

IS A HELL OF A CLUE AS TO HOW MALCOLM
DIETRICH DISPOSES OF HIS LIABILITIES.

NOW MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR
YOU TO PUT A SPIN ON THIS,

WIDEN YOUR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS.

THAT WOULD BE YOU.

ANY PORT IN A STORM.

JOSEPH SAYS NO ON
THE STRING BEANS.

THEN TELL HIM WHERE TO
SHOVE THE REST OF THE MEAL.

HE'S LATE FOR HIS
DALE CARNEGIE SEMINAR.

MR. ROONEY, HOW LONG HAVE YOU
BEEN MARRIED TO THE DEFENDANT?

A LITTLE OVER THREE YEARS.

AND AT SOME POINT
IN YOUR MARRIAGE, SIR,

DID YOU LEARN THAT YOUR WIFE
HAD BEEN UNFAITHFUL TO YOU?

YEAH. WE HAD A
LITTLE, UH, DISCUSSION,

AND SHE FINALLY OWNED UP TO
HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH TOM VAN ALLAN.

AND DID SHE LATER TELL YOU THAT THE
GOVERNOR HAD BROKEN OFF THAT AFFAIR?

WE HAD SEPARATED BY THEN,
BUT, YES, SHE DID CALL ME.

I GUESS SHE JUST DIDN'T
HAVE ANYONE ELSE TO TURN TO.

- WAS SHE UPSET?
- SURE.

WAS SHE ANGRY?

DO I HAVE TO ANSWER THAT?

YOUR HONOR, IT'S CLEAR THAT MR. ROONEY
IS INVOKING HIS MARITAL PRIVILEGE.

ASK THAT YOU SO INFORM
OPPOSING COUNSEL.

MOVE ON, MS. GRASSO.
YES, YOUR HONOR.

MR. ROONEY, IN THE WEEKS
FOLLOWING THIS AFFAIR,

DID YOUR WIFE ATTEMPT
TO CALL THE GOVERNOR?

- OBJECTION.
- SUSTAINED.

DID SHE EVER THREATEN THE
GOVERNOR IN YOUR PRESENCE?

OBJECTION. YOUR HONOR, MS.
GRASSO'S ENTIRE LINE OF QUESTIONING...

IS OUT OF BOUNDS,
AND SHE KNOWS IT.

I HAVE JUST ONE MORE
QUESTION, YOUR HONOR.

MR. ROONEY, DID YOU COME HERE TO
TELL THE TRUTH OR TO PROTECT YOUR WIFE?

- OBJECTION.
- WITHDRAWN. THANK YOU. NOTHING FURTHER.

- DID YOUR WIFE OWN A GUN?
- NO.

- HOW ABOUT YOU?
- I OWN
A NINE-MILLIMETER RUGER...

AND A .22 SMITH AND
WESSON SEMIAUTOMATIC.

A .22. THAT'S THE SAME
CALIBER WEAPON...

THAT WAS USED TO KILL THE
GOVERNOR AND MS. DONOVAN, WASN'T IT?

SO... WHAT?

SO I'M SIMPLY TRYING TO
DETERMINE IF YOU WERE FAMILIAR...

WITH THE TYPE OF GUN
THAT WAS USED IN THE CRIME.

YES, I HAVE FIRED A .22 BEFORE.

THANK YOU. NOW WHEN YOU WERE INFORMED
OF YOUR WIFE'S AFFAIR WITH MR. VAN ALLAN,

- WERE YOU UPSET WITH HER?
- YES, I WAS ANGRY. WOULDN'T YOU BE?

- WERE YOU UPSET
WITH THE GOVERNOR?
- DON'T I HAVE SOME PRIVILEGE?

NOT UNLESS YOU INVOKE THE FIFTH
AMENDMENT RIGHT AGAINST SELF-INCRIMINATION.

WHEN YOU HEARD ABOUT YOUR WIFE'S
AFFAIR, WERE YOU UPSET WITH THE GOVERNOR?

WELL, I WASN'T PLANNING ON VOTING
FOR HIM, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M ASKING.
I'M TRYING TO DETERMINE...

IF YOUR ANIMUS TOWARD THE GOVERNOR
WENT BEYOND DENYING HIM SUPPORT.

NO. WHAT IS HE DOING?

SHH. IT DIDN'T.

ISN'T IT TRUE THAT YOU WERE DETAINED BY
THE GOVERNOR'S SECURITY DETAIL ON JULY 27,

AN HOUR BEFORE HE WAS TO DELIVER A
SPEECH AT THE BEVERLY HILTON HOTEL?

MM-HMM. AND I WAS
RELEASED. IT WAS NO BIG DEAL.

THEN WHAT WAS THE
PURPOSE OF YOUR VISIT?

TO TELL HIM YOU WEREN'T
GOING TO GIVE HIM YOUR VOTE?

LOOK, HE WAS STRINGING SHARON
ALONG. ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS TALK TO HIM.

- WERE YOU ARMED?
- NO.

- DID YOU THREATEN TO HARM...
- WILL YOU STOP IT!

SHARON! TAKE IT EASY, SHARON. KYLE DIDN'T
DO ANYTHING! I'M THE ONE WHO'S GUILTY!

I SHOULD BE PUNISHED!

YOUR HONOR, WE REQUEST A
CONFERENCE IN YOUR CHAMBERS.

WE MOVE FOR A MISTRIAL.

WHY NOT AN ACQUITTAL? AFTER ALL,
YOUR CLIENT ONLY CONFESSED TO MURDER.

WHAT SHARON ROONEY DID, IT
WAS SO CLEARLY PREJUDICIAL...

AS TO CONSTITUTE A GROSS VIOLATION OF
HER PROTECTION AGAINST SELF-INCRIMINATION.

ARE WE READING THE SAME CONSTITUTION
HERE? SHE WAIVED HER RIGHTS...

THE MINUTE SHE STOOD UP AND SAID
SHE DID IT. SHE DIDN'T SAY SHE DID IT.

SHE SAID SHE DESERVED TO BE
PUNISHED. YES, FOR TWO MURDERS.

YOUR HONOR, AS MS. GRASSO
HERSELF HAS POINTED OUT,

MY CLIENT RECENTLY
UNDERWENT AN ABORTION.

NOW THIS, TOGETHER WITH THE FACT
THAT SHE'S BEEN CHARGED WITH THIS CRIME,

HAS PLACED A TREMENDOUS
EMOTIONAL BURDEN ON HER.

WHAT SHE DID IN COURT WAS A CRY FOR
HELP, NOT A CONFESSION TO THESE MURDERS.

THAT'S UP TO THE JURY. IF THE JURY
BELIEVES SHE CONFESSED TO THESE MURDERS,

THEN THE TRIAL IS OVER
BEFORE IT STARTED.

ANY GUILTY VERDICT IS ALMOST CERTAINLY
GOING TO BE OVERTURNED ON APPEAL.

I'LL RISK THAT. I'M NOT GRANTING
YOUR REQUEST FOR A MISTRIAL.

THEN LET ME CALL A PSYCHIATRIST THAT CAN PLACE
HER OUTBURST IN ITS FULL EMOTIONAL CONTEXT.

YOU'LL HAVE YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO DO
THAT DURING THE DEFENSE CASE IN CHIEF.

BUT, YOUR HONOR...
I'VE RULED, COUNSEL.

THE JURY WILL BE ALLOWED TO CONSIDER
THE DEFENDANT'S SPONTANEOUS STATEMENT.

MR. WYLER, TELL YOUR CLIENT
THAT IF SHE SPEAKS OUT AGAIN,

I WILL DEEM THAT SHE HAS WAIVED
HER FIFTH AMENDMENT RIGHT TO SILENCE,

AND I WILL ALLOW MS. GRASSO
TO CROSS-EXAMINE HER.

THE MERRY WIDOW IS
OUTSIDE... CAROLINE VAN ALLAN.

SHE'D LIKE A MOMENT
OF YOUR TIME.

SEND HER IN.

MRS. VAN ALLAN. I'LL GET
RIGHT TO THE POINT, MR. WYLER.

I GATHER YOUR REQUEST FOR MONEY FROM THE
COURT WAS NOT AS SUCCESSFUL AS YOU'D HOPED.

THAT'S ONE WAY TO PUT IT.

WELL, AT THE RISK OF INFLAMING
WHATEVER SUSPICIONS...

YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE
ABOUT ME, MAYBE I CAN HELP.

HOW? BY FUNDING SHARON
ROONEY'S DEFENSE...

ON ANY TERMS YOU
FIND ACCEPTABLE.

I FIND THE WHOLE
IDEA UNACCEPTABLE.

SHARON'S BEEN ACCUSED
OF MURDERING YOUR HUSBAND.

AND IN ALL PROBABILITY, I'LL BE
QUESTIONING YOU ON THE STAND.

IS THAT THE REASON?

OR IS IT YOUR PRIDE THAT PREVENTS
YOU FROM ACCEPTING MY HELP?

IT'S A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF
INTEREST. BECAUSE I FIND THAT MEN...

OFTEN LET THEIR IMAGE OF THEMSELVES
OVERRULE THEIR COMMON SENSE.

AND YOU'RE AN EXPERT
ON MEN, ARE YOU?

CERTAIN MEN.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO
BANKROLL MY CLIENT'S DEFENSE?

IN SPITE OF HER
OUTBURST IN COURT TODAY,

I'M STILL NOT CONVINCED
SHE MURDERED MY HUSBAND.

AND I DON'T TRUST THE
AUTHORITIES TO FIND OUT WHO DID.

WELL, I'LL HAVE TO
DECLINE, ALL THE SAME.

LEAVING OPEN THE QUESTION
OF WHERE YOU'LL GET THE MONEY.

I'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

NO MATTER WHAT... I
WILL DEFEND MY CLIENT.

WELL, I'VE SAID MY PIECE.

GOOD EVENING, MR. WYLER.

SHOULD YOU CHANGE
YOUR MIND... I WON'T.

GOOD NIGHT, MRS. VAN ALLAN.

GWEN, WOULD YOU GET LAURA
ON THE PHONE, PLEASE? SURE.

I'M NOT ASKING YOU
TO COMMIT BANK FRAUD.

I JUST NEED YOU TO INCREASE THE VALUATION
OF THE HOUSE SO THAT THEY'LL UP THE LOAN.

I CAN'T DO THAT. OH, COME ON.

WE BOTH KNOW THEY
LOWBALLED THE EVALUATION.

THERE'S A HOUSE UP THE
STREET THAT SOLD FOR 700,000.

THE APPRAISAL WAS FAIR, JIMMY.

WELL, OKAY. HOW ABOUT
A 90-DAY PERSONAL NOTE?

UNSECURED? WELL, IT'LL
HAVE MY SIGNATURE ON IT.

COME ON. A SIGNATURE OF
THE GUY YOU'VE BEEN LIVIN' WITH,

PRACTICALLY, FOR
THE LAST SIX MONTHS.

WHICH IS PRECISELY WHY I CAN'T
TOUCH SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

LOOK, I KNOW YOU'RE FRUSTRATED,
BUT THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT I CAN DO.

SO YOU'RE REFUSING TO HELP ME. DON'T
TURN THIS INTO SOME KIND OF BETRAYAL.

OH, I'M NOT QUESTIONING
YOUR LOYALTY AT ALL.

IT'S PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT MALCOLM
DIETRICH HAS A VERY FAITHFUL EMPLOYEE.

TO HELL WITH YOU.

HERE'S THE FINANCIAL
RELIEF CHECK, SUCH AS IT IS.

HAVE ARNOLD DEPOSIT
THAT IN THE FIRM'S ACCOUNT.

THIS IS ALL THE JUDGE GAVE YOU? MY KID
HAS GOT MORE THAN THIS IN HIS PIGGY BANK.

MAYBE I SHOULD HIT HIM
UP FOR A LOAN. JIMMY,

YOU MIGHT WANT TO BUY YOURSELF A
LOTTERY TICKET TODAY. WHY'S THAT?

MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH
ON JUROR NUMBER SIX.

I WENT OVER CONNOVER'S
JURY QUESTIONNAIRE AGAIN.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ARRESTED?

NO." BUT 10 YEARS AGO, HE
AND A BUNCH OF NEIGHBORS...

WERE PROTESTING THE OPENING OF A TOPLESS
BAR NEAR A SCHOOL IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

A FIGHT BROKE OUT, AND A
COUPLE OF COPS GOT HURT.

CONNOVER WAS CHARGED, BUT THE
JUDGE TOSSED IT FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE.

APPARENTLY, CONNOVER CHOSE TO
FORGET ABOUT IT. WHERE'D YOU GET IT?

WE GOT LUCKY. I ASKED FRANK
TO CHECK WITH A BUDDY OF HIS...

AT L.A.P.D. R&I DIVISION,
AND THERE IT WAS.

YOU THINK THIS IS ENOUGH TO GET
CONNOVER EXCUSED? IT'S UP TO THE JUDGE.

BUT WE GOT A SHOT.
ATTABOY, ARNOLD.

PLEASE DESCRIBE
WHAT YOU FOUND...

I ARRIVED AT
APPROXIMATELY 1:45 A.M.

THE CRIME SCENE HAD BEEN FROZEN
BY THE INVESTIGATING OFFICERS,

AND THE PARAMEDICS HAD
PRONOUNCED THE VICTIMS.

IN ADDITION TO BEING THE SENIOR CRIMINALIST
FROM S.I.D. ASSIGNED TO THE CASE,

DID YOU ALSO PARTICIPATE
IN COLLECTING EVIDENCE?

YES. I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR
COLLECTING HAIR AND FIBER.

I DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION
TO PEOPLE'S EXHIBIT 33.

UH, WOULD YOU TELL US IF THIS
WAS RECOVERED FROM THE SCENE?

- YES, IT IS.
- WOULD YOU DESCRIBE IT
FOR US, PLEASE,

AND WITH THE FLOOR PLAN, WOULD
YOU INDICATE WHERE YOU FOUND IT?

THOSE ARE THREE
STRANDS OF BLONDE HAIR...

WHICH I FOUND ON THE DECK
JUST OUTSIDE THE BEDROOM.

WERE YOU ABLE TO
ESTABLISH ANY CONNECTION...

BETWEEN THOSE STRANDS
OF HAIR AND THE DEFENDANT?

THE HAIR RECOVERED AT THE
SCENE MATCHES THE HAIR SAMPLE...

WE SUBSEQUENTLY
OBTAINED FROM MS. ROONEY.

AND CAN YOU DESCRIBE ANY
OTHER FIBER OR HAIR EVIDENCE...

THAT YOU RECOVERED
FROM THE CRIME SCENE?

AT THE FOOT OF THE BED, I FOUND NYLON
CARPET FIBER, WHICH WAS BEIGE IN COLOR.

THE MATERIAL IS ALSO
KNOWN AS ANSO IV.

IS THERE A BEIGE CARPET
AT THE LANCASTER HOUSE?

NO. THERE IS NOT.

DID YOUR INVESTIGATION LOCATE
THE SOURCE FOR THOSE FIBERS?

THEY MATCHED THOSE
WE DISCOVERED...

DURING A SEARCH OF THE
DEFENDANT'S APARTMENT.

THERE IS A BEIGE ANSO IV
CARPET IN HER BEDROOM.

IS IT YOUR TESTIMONY, THEN, THAT THERE
IS A TRAIL OF HAIR AND FIBER EVIDENCE...

THAT LED FROM THE
DEFENDANT'S PALMS APARTMENT...

TO THE FOOT OF THE BED
WHERE THE KILLER STOOD...

AND SHOT GOVERNOR VAN ALLAN
AND MS. DONOVAN IN COLD BLOOD?

- THAT IS MY TESTIMONY, YES.
- THANK YOU. NOTHING FURTHER.

SIR, YOU WERE NOT
ABLE TO DETERMINE...

WHEN THE HAIR AND FIBER WERE
DEPOSITED AT THE MURDER SCENE, WERE YOU?

NOT PRECISELY. BUT WE
DID VERIFY THAT THE MAID...

HAD WASHED THE DECK
AND VACUUMED THE FLOORS...

- ON THE THURSDAY
PRIOR TO THE MURDERS...
- SO YOUR ANSWER IS, NO,

YOU WERE NOT ABLE TO. WHAT WE DID
DO WAS ISOLATE A VERY NARROW WINDOW...

SIR, PLEASE FORGIVE ME. IF YOU
ALLOW ME TO FINISH MY QUESTION,

I PROMISE I'LL ALLOW YOU AMPLE
TIME TO RESPOND. NOW TO CONFIRM.

YOU CANNOT STATE THAT THE HAIR AND FIBER
WERE DEPOSITED ON THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER.

- IS THAT CORRECT?
- CORRECT.

THANK YOU. NOW WITH RESPECT TO
THE BEIGE FIBER THAT YOU COLLECTED,

CAN YOU TELL THE COURT HOW MANY SQUARE FEET
OF ANSO IV ARE MANUFACTURED IN ONE YEAR?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

WOULD IT SURPRISE YOU TO LEARN THAT
THERE ARE TWO MILLION SQUARE FEET...

OF ANSO IV UNDERFOOT IN
LOS ANGELES COUNTY ALONE?

OBJECTION. MR. GANDOLPHI IS A
CRIMINALIST NOT A RUG MERCHANT.

OVERRULED. YOU MAY ANSWER
THE QUESTION, MR. GANDOLPHI.

I DON'T BELIEVE SHARON ROONEY'S IS THE ONLY
APARTMENT CONTAINING THAT TYPE CARPET, NO.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF
CARPET IS ON THE FLOOR OF, OH,

SAY, DETECTIVE BIGGIO'S HOUSE OR IN THE
RESIDENCES OF ALL THE OTHER S.I.D. CRIMINALISTS...

TROOPING IN AND OUT
OF THE MURDER SCENE,

TRACKING IN WHO-KNOWS-WHAT
FROM OTHER LOCATIONS?

THOSE PEOPLE ARE ALL
PROFESSIONALS, TRAINED TO BE DILIGENT...

ABOUT PRESERVING THE
INTEGRITY OF AN INVESTIGATION SITE.

EVEN SO, YOU'D HAVE TO BE PART
SCIENTIST, PART CHOREOGRAPHER...

TO KEEP TRACK OF THEM,
WOULDN'T YOU, MR. GANDOLPHI?

I HAVE A BACHELOR'S DEGREE
IN CHEMISTRY FROM YALE...

AND TWO GRADUATE
DEGREES IN MY FIELD AS WELL.

A DEGREE IN CHOREOGRAPHY
NEVER REALLY SEEMED NECESSARY.

FAIR ENOUGH. BUT WOULD
IT BE CORRECT TO SAY...

THAT YOUR JOB REQUIRES A
RIGID ATTENTION TO DETAIL,

ATTENTION OVER MANY HOURS
TO A MULTITUDE OF FACTORS...

- WHICH CONSTITUTE
A CRIME SCENE, WOULD IT NOT?
- YES.

DO YOU SUFFER FROM ATTENTION
DEFICIT DISORDER, MR. GANDOLPHI?

EXCUSE ME?

I'LL REPEAT. DO YOU SUFFER FROM THE MENTAL
AFFLICTION COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A.D.D.?

OBJECTION. THIS LINE OF QUESTIONING HAS
ABSOLUTELY NO RELEVANCE WHATSOEVER.

YOUR HONOR, IT'S OUR POSITION
MR. GANDOLPHI'S CONDITION,

WHICH OFTEN RESULTS IN
CONFUSION AND DISORIENTATION,

SEVERELY RESTRICTED HIS
ABILITY TO PROCESS THE EVIDENCE.

I'LL ALLOW IT, BUT TREAD
LIGHTLY, MS. APPLETON.

DO YOU NEED ME TO REPEAT
THE QUESTION, SIR? NO.

IT'S TRUE. I HAVE A.D.D. BUT IT'S ALSO TRUE
THAT I TAKE MEDICATION WHICH CONTROLS IT.

AND WHAT IS THAT MEDICATION?
DEXEDRINE SPANSULE.

WHEN DO YOU TAKE THEM? WHEN I GET
UP IN THE MORNING AND AT LUNCHTIME.

SO, AT 1:45 A.M. ON AUGUST 20,

YOU HADN'T TAKEN
YOUR MEDICATION IN...

ALMOST 14 HOURS?

- WERE YOU DISORIENTED?
- NO.

WERE YOU CONFUSED? NO.

THEN WHAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE FACT THAT
THE MATTRESS TICKING WASN'T REMOVED...

WHEN THE BED WAS STRIPPED
AT THE MURDER SCENE?

THAT IS S.I.D. PROTOCOL, IS IT NOT?
TO STRIP ALL BEDDING COMPLETELY?

IT IS PROTOCOL. THE FAILURE
TO REMOVE THE TICKING...

WAS A MINOR DEPARTURE
FROM PROCEDURE,

WHICH, WHEN LATER CORRECTED,
PROVED TO BE OF NO CONSEQUENCE.

DID YOU TAKE YOUR
MEDICATION AT LUNCH TODAY, SIR?

I DIDN'T EAT LUNCH. I WAS REVIEWING
MY NOTES PRIOR TO TESTIFYING.

THEN YOUR ANSWER IS, NO, YOU
DID NOT TAKE YOUR MEDICATION.

- I DID NOT.
- THEN, SIR, IF YOUR ATTENTION
STARTS TO WANDER,

OR YOU NEED ME TO REPEAT ANY OF
THESE QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

YOU SON OF A BITCH!

HARRY, PLEASE. I'VE BEEN
RACKING MY BRAIN, PAL.

HOW MANY BEERS DID WE DRINK OVER HOW MANY
YEARS? WHAT ELSE DID I CONFIDE IN MY FRIEND...

BESIDES MY MEDICAL CONDITION? I
WISH THERE HAD BEEN ANOTHER WAY.

I'M SURPRISED YOU DIDN'T BRING
UP MY VASECTOMY. EXCUSE ME!

HOW YOUR SURROGATE
HERE DIDN'T BRING IT UP...

BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE
BALLS TO GO FOR MY THROAT YOURSELF.

YOU KNEW AS A PROSECUTOR
THAT I WOULD DO ANYTHING...

TO BRING SOMEBODY
DOWN I THOUGHT WAS GUILTY.

WHY SHOULD I DO LESS FOR
SOMEBODY I KNOW IS INNOCENT?

WHAT ARE YOU TELLING ME? YOU
THINK YOUR CLIENT'S INNOCENT?

IF THAT'S THE CON YOU'RE
RUNNIN' ON YOURSELF,

SO YOU COULD DESTROY MY
CREDIBILITY AND WRECK MY CAREER,

THEN I DON'T KNOW
YOU ANYMORE, JIMMY.

YOU'RE GONNA HURT YOUR EYES.

I CAN'T AFFORD THE ELECTRICITY.

THAT WAS A LOW
BLOW. FORGET I SAID IT.

I ACTED LIKE A JERK.

ARE WE OKAY?

NO, WE'RE NOT OKAY.

IT'S NOT WORKING, JIMMY.

I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW
HARD IT WOULD BE...

TO MOVE TO THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE COURTROOM.

I'VE LOST FRIENDS, COLLEAGUES.

I DON'T WANT OUR RELATIONSHIP
TO BE A CASUALTY TOO.

THAT'S WHERE IT'S HEADED.

YOU QUESTION MY PROMOTION.
YOU OBSESS ON ROGER GARFIELD.

YOU SEE MALCOLM DIETRICH
BEHIND EVERY DOOR.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE
YOU'RE CHEATING ON ME,

HAVING THIS PASSIONATE
AFFAIR WITH YOUR OWN PARANOIA.

I'M JUST DOING MY JOB.
DON'T MAKE THIS ABOUT YOU.

I CARE FOR YOU, JIMMY.

BUT IF WE'RE GONNA
HAVE ANY KIND OF FUTURE,

I THINK WE NEED TO STOP SEEING EACH
OTHER UNTIL AFTER THIS TRIAL IS OVER.

CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT I AM TRYING TO KEEP...

A WOMAN WHO I BELIEVE IS
INNOCENT FROM BEING EXECUTED?

I DO UNDERSTAND. AND I
KNOW WHAT IT'S GONNA TAKE...

100% OF YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.

I'M A BANKER, JIMMY.
I'VE DONE THE MATH.

GOOD NIGHT.

MR. WHITE?

I DIDN'T EXPECT
TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

I'M THE MOLE IN TOM VAN ALLAN'S
CAMPAIGN. BUT YOU KNEW THAT, DIDN'T YOU?

COME IN. COME IN.

WHO WERE YOU WORKING FOR?

NOT WHO, COUNSELOR.

THE CORRECT QUESTION IS
WHAT I WAS WORKING FOR.

THE ANSWER IS ONE
MILLION DOLLARS,

SITTING IN A NUMBERED
ACCOUNT IN ZURICH.

ONCE AGAIN, IT WOULD BE
HELPFUL TO KNOW WHO PAID YOU.

YOU ALREADY KNOW.

DIETRICH OWNS BANKS.

THE TRANSFER OF
FUNDS WAS A SNAP.

SO WAS THE TRANSFER
OF MY LOYALTY.

YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW
IT GETS TO BE SO EASY?

SURE.

WHAT YOU DO IS...

YOU CONVINCE YOURSELF
THAT YOUR FRIEND IS FLAWED.

YOU PUSH ASIDE ALL OF
HIS POSITIVE QUALITIES,

AND YOU EMPHASIZE
THE NEGATIVE...

THE HARDBALL POLITICS,
THE FINANCIAL COMPROMISES,

THE... EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS.

AFTER THAT, IT'S EASY
TO STAB HIM IN THE BACK.

THE MAN YOU'VE BEEN
DEDICATED TO FOR 11 YEARS...

ACTUALLY DESERVES
TO BE BETRAYED.

THE MILLION DOLLARS...

THAT'S JUST FOR YOUR FAMILY,
FOR YOUR KIDS' FUTURES.

IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE THING.

AND WHEN YOU
FINALLY SELL HIM OUT,

YOU'RE CERTAIN IT WAS
THE RIGHTEOUS THING TO DO.

UNTIL HE ENDS UP DEAD.

AND THEN...

YOU REALIZE...

HE WASN'T THE ONE WHO CHANGED.

IT WAS YOU.

SOMEWHERE IN THOSE 11
YEARS, YOU LOST SOMETHING.

OR MAYBE YOU NEVER
HAD IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

AND WHAT DID MALCOLM
DIETRICH GET FOR HIS MONEY?

WHATEVER HE WANTED TO KNOW.

I TOLD HIM WHAT WENT ON
IN OUR STRATEGY MEETINGS,

ABOUT CAMPAIGN FINANCES,
TOM'S SEXUAL LIAISONS.

COME ON, MR. WYLER.
ASK ME THE QUESTION.

I'VE BEEN ASKING IT MYSELF
FOR TWO AND A HALF MONTHS.

DID I UNWITTINGLY...

SET UP THE MURDER OF THE ONLY
MAN THAT I EVER TRULY ADMIRED?

THE ANSWER IS, YES,

I BELIEVE I DID.

ARE YOU WILLING TO
TESTIFY TO THAT IN COURT?

AND WIND UP LIKE TERRY
PHILBRICK? NO, THANKS.

THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

YOU TESTIFY FOR US,
WE'LL PUT YOU ON ICE.

I GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY.

MM.

I'M DRUNK, MY
FRIEND. NOT STUPID.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN
REDEMPTION, MR. WHITE?

AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T REQUIRE
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.

I'VE BEEN A PROSECUTOR
FOR 12 YEARS.

I'VE GOTTEN WISE GUYS TO ROLL
ON THEIR OWN CRIME FAMILIES.

THEY DID IT BECAUSE THEY KNEW
THAT I WOULD PROTECT THEM.

NOT ONE OF THEM NEEDED
SO MUCH AS A BAND-AID.

I KNOW IT'S A LEAP
OF FAITH, LARRY,

BUT IT'S IN BOTH OUR
INTERESTS THAT YOU MAKE IT.

I GOT LARRY WHITE
SET UP IN HIS NEW DIGS.

PLACE IS REAL
QUIET, REAL PRIVATE.

I HATE TO ASK... WHAT'S
THIS COSTING US?

110 BUCKS A DAY PLUS UTILITIES.

I'M TRYIN' TO SWING A BETTER
DEAL WITH THE APARTMENT MANAGER.

YEAH, WELL, THE SOONER THE
BETTER. WE'RE IN EXTREMIS, JIMMY.

THEY SHUT OFF WESTLAW HALFWAY
THROUGH MY MEMO ON STARE DECISIS.

IF WE DON'T PAY UP SOON, I'M BACK
TO DOING RESEARCH IN THE STONE AGE.

THE SPARKLETTS MAN EVEN
TOOK THE WATERCOOLER.

I'LL GET THE MONEY.

FIRST, I'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH
JUDGE BELL ABOUT JUROR NUMBER SIX.

SO JUST... JUST HANG TIGHT.

CLEARLY, JUROR NUMBER
SIX DID NOT TELL THE TRUTH.

I HAVE SPOKEN WITH
MR. CONNOVER, AND I AM SATISFIED...

IT WAS NOT HIS INTENT
TO DECEIVE THE COURT.

RATHER, IN HIS MIND, THE DISMISSAL
ENCOMPASSED EVERYTHING.

- BUT HE WAS WRONG.
- COUNSEL'S INSISTING
THAT A LAYPERSON...

WOULD UNDERSTAND SUCH LEGAL NUANCES
SOLELY BECAUSE IT BENEFITS HIS CASE.

THE FACT REMAINS THAT THE JUROR WAS
PROSECUTED BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE,

OF WHICH I WAS RANKING
DEPUTY AT THE TIME.

NOW THERE IS A LEGITIMATE REASON
TO BELIEVE THAT HE HARBORS ANIMUS,

AND THAT COULD BE
PREJUDICIAL TOWARDS MY CLIENT.

IF THAT ARGUMENT HELD
WATER, WHICH IT DOESN'T,

I ALSO WAS IN THE D.A.'s
OFFICE AT THAT TIME.

IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT EVENS UP THE BOOKS,
FORGET IT. YOU WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT.

I WORK FOR AN INDIVIDUAL
WHOSE RIGHTS TO A FAIR TRIAL...

- ARE PROTECTED BY
THE SIXTH AMENDMENT.
- MR. WYLER,

LET ME STOP YOU RIGHT THERE BEFORE YOU START
SINGING "THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC."

NOW THIS MOTION, ON
ITS FACE, APPEARS SOUND.

BUT IN TRUTH, IT REVEALS
AN INNOCENT MISTAKE...

THAT ANY LAYPERSON COULD
HAVE MADE THAT, IN MY JUDGMENT,

YOU ARE EXPLOITING FOR
STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE.

MOTION DENIED.

- YOUR HONOR, IF I
COULD BE HEARD ON...
- YOU HAVE BEEN HEARD.

I'VE MADE MY RULING.

WE'RE DONE.

BASED ON THE INFORMATION
GIVEN TO US BY ADRIENNE ORDUNO,

WE CANVASSED THE ROADSIDE IN THE
19,000 BLOCK OF PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY...

AND RECOVERED THE WEAPON
FROM BEHIND A RETAINING WALL.

- DID YOU RUN THE SERIAL NUMBER?
- YES.

AND WERE YOU ABLE TO DETERMINE
WHO THE WEAPON WAS REGISTERED TO?

SALLY VAUGHN, THE
DEFENDANT'S ROOMMATE,

WHO HAD REPORTED THE WEAPON MISSING
SEVERAL DAYS PRIOR TO THE MURDERS.

NOW, IS THIS THE
SAME CALIBER WEAPON...

USED TO KILL GOVERNOR TOM
VAN ALLAN AND MARLEE DONOVAN?

- YES, IT IS.
- WERE THERE ANY FINGERPRINTS
FOUND ON THE GUN, DETECTIVE?

NO. IF SHARON ROONEY USED IT...

TO SHOOT GOVERNOR VAN
ALLAN AND MS. DONOVAN,

CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY HER PRINTS
WOULDN'T BE FOUND ON THE GUN?

IF SHE WAS WEARING GLOVES,
THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY PRINTS.

ON THE 20th OF AUGUST,
ONE DAY AFTER THE MURDERS,

DID YOU CONDUCT THE SEARCH
OF MS. ROONEY'S APARTMENT?

YES. CAN YOU TELL THE
COURT WHAT YOU FOUND?

AFTER SEARCHING THE
BEDROOM AND LIVING ROOM,

DETECTIVE MITCHELL AND
I ENTERED THE KITCHEN.

IN A CUPBOARD BELOW THE
SINK, WE DISCOVERED A BOX OF...

DISPOSABLE ALADAN
MEDIUM-SIZED LATEX GLOVES.

THE BOX HAD BEEN OPENED,
AND ONE PAIR WAS MISSING.

IS THAT THE BOX, OFFICER?

YES, IT IS. YOUR HONOR,

WE'D LIKE TO ENTER INTO
EVIDENCE PEOPLE'S EXHIBIT 19.

THANK YOU. NOTHING FURTHER.

THIS PAIR OF MISSING
GLOVES, DETECTIVE,

I ASSUME YOU'VE BEEN
KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR THEM.

YES. DID YOU FIND THEM YET?

- NOPE.
- ARE YOU AWARE THAT MS. ROONEY'S
HUSBAND IS A MEDICAL STUDENT?

YES. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE
BOX OF GLOVES BELONGS TO HIM?

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT HE AND
THE DEFENDANT WERE SEPARATED.

WELL, AS ANYBODY WHO'S GONE
THROUGH A BREAKUP KNOWS,

BELONGINGS OFTEN GET COMINGLED...
SWEATERS, CD COLLECTIONS.

COULDN'T THAT BE HOW THE
BOX OF GLOVES GOT THERE?

I SUPPOSE.

MY MOTHER OWNS A BOX
OF GLOVES JUST LIKE THAT.

KEEPS THEM IN THE KITCHEN. USES
THEM TO CLEAN HER SILVERWARE.

DO YOU CONSIDER MY MOTHER
A SUSPECT IN THIS CASE?

- NO.
- NOW YOU'VE INVESTIGATED
A NUMBER OF HOMICIDES, CORRECT?

MANY OF THEM WITH
YOU, COUNSELOR.

THEN WE BOTH KNOW THAT
ANY CRIMINAL THAT WEARS...

A PAIR OF GLOVES TO COMMIT A
MURDER IS PRETTY SAVVY, RIGHT?

THAT WOULD SHOW
PREMEDITATION. AM I CORRECT?

YES. THEN YOU HAVE TO
HELP ME OUT HERE, DETECTIVE.

WHY WOULD SOMEBODY WHO PLANNED A
COLD-BLOODED, PREMEDITATED KILLING...

LEAVE WHAT YOU CLAIM IS INCRIMINATING
EVIDENCE IN PLAIN SIGHT IN A KITCHEN CUPBOARD?

NOW THAT DOESN'T EXACTLY DESCRIBE A
CONSISTENT PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR, DOES IT?

AS YOU MIGHT RECALL, COUNSELOR,
THAT'S HOW WE CATCH CRIMINALS...

THROUGH THEIR INCONSISTENCIES.

HAVE YOU EVER INTERVIEWED
MICHAEL BEIDEN ABOUT THESE KILLINGS?

- OF COURSE.
- AS A WITNESS OR A SUSPECT?

THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THAT
HE WAS INVOLVED IN THIS CRIME.

THE D.A.'s OFFICE GENERALLY REQUIRES
EVIDENCE BEFORE THEY FILE CHARGES.

HAVE YOU ESTABLISHED ROGER GARFIELD'S
WHEREABOUTS ON THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER?

NO. HOW ABOUT
CAROLINE VAN ALLAN?

SHE WAS IN SACRAMENTO,
400 MILES FROM THE SCENE.

ALL THE EVIDENCE
POINTED TO YOUR CLIENT.

YOU MEAN ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT
YOU COLLECTED, RIGHT? OBJECTION.

HE'S BAITING THE WITNESS.
SUSTAINED. MOVE ON.

DETECTIVE, CAN YOU RECALL A
CIRCUMSTANTIAL CASE SUCH AS THIS ONE,

WHERE ALL THE EVIDENCE
POINTED TO THE DEFENDANT,

YOU TESTIFIED AGAINST THE DEFENDANT,
THE DEFENDANT WAS CONVICTED,

ONLY LATER TO BE FOUND INNOCENT?

OBJECTION. IRRELEVANT.

YOUR HONOR, I HAVE SPECIFIC FACTS THAT
WILL IMPEACH THE TESTIMONY OF THIS WITNESS.

OVERRULED.

HOW ABOUT IT, DETECTIVE?
CAN YOU RECALL SUCH A CASE?

YOU'RE REFERRING TO
THE LUIS SORIANO CASE.

- THAT WAS EARLY IN MY CAREER.
- AND WHAT HAPPENED
TO LUIS SORIANO?

YOU KNOW PERFECTLY WELL WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU WERE THE PROSECUTOR IN THAT TRIAL.

ASK THAT THE WITNESS BE
DIRECTED TO ANSWER THE QUESTION...

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, PAL.

YOU'RE ON THE WITNESS STAND,
DETECTIVE! YOU ANSWER MY QUESTIONS NOW.

MR. WYLER. DETECTIVE BIGGIO.

THIS IS MY COURTROOM. DON'T USE IT
TO SETTLE YOUR PERSONAL GRUDGES.

I APOLOGIZE, YOUR HONOR.

ANSWER THE QUESTION.

ONCE AGAIN, YOU TESTIFIED THAT ALL
THE EVIDENCE POINTED TO LUIS SORIANO.

AND MR. SORIANO WAS CONVICTED AND SENT
AWAY FOR NINE YEARS FOR ARMED ROBBERY.

- IS THAT CORRECT?
- CORRECT.

DID YOU LATER DETERMINE THAT SOMEBODY
ELSE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT CRIME?

- YES.
- BUT IT WAS TOO LATE
FOR MR. SORIANO...

BECAUSE SOMETHING
HAPPENED TO HIM, RIGHT?

- YEAH.
- WHAT HAPPENED TO
MR. SORIANO, DETECTIVE?

HE WAS KILLED IN A PRISON FIGHT.

EIGHT DAYS BEFORE HE WAS
DUE TO BE RELEASED, CORRECT?

YEAH.

NOTHING FURTHER, YOUR HONOR.

CONGRATULATIONS. WHAT FOR?

EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED
TO KNOW ABOUT STARE DECISIS.

I THOUGHT THAT
WESTLAW WAS HISTORY.

COME ON, JIMMY. THERE'S
NO NEED FOR MODESTY.

I WENT DOWN TO THE BANK
TO TALK TO DARRYL PAIGE.

I THOUGHT I MIGHT BE ABLE TO
FINAGLE SOME KIND OF CREDIT LINE.

BUT BEFORE I COULD SLIP ON MY
KNEE PADS AND START MY BEGGING,

HE TOLD ME THERE IS
$200,000 IN YOUR ACCOUNT.

- WHAT?
- DID YOU ROB AN ARMORED CAR
ON YOUR LUNCH HOUR?

I DON'T WANT A DIME
OF THAT MONEY SPENT.

TOO LATE. I ALREADY
DEPOSITED MY PAYCHECK.

ME TOO. WE CAN'T STOP THE
CHECKS TO OUR STAFF AND SUPPLIERS.

- WE'LL LOSE THEM FOR GOOD.
- HOW MUCH OF
THE MONEY'S GONE?

26,000.

JIMMY, MALCOLM
DIETRICH'S HERE TO SEE YOU.

LOOK, I, UH... I GOT
TO GET INTO THIS.

UH, IN THE MEANTIME,
NOT ANOTHER DIME.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR
YOU, MR. DIETRICH?

I'M HERE FOR PERSONAL REASONS.

BUT BY ALL MEANS, TURN ON YOUR
METER FOR OUR CONVERSATION.

WELL, THERE YOU GO,
CONFUSING ME WITH A TAXI SERVICE.

YOU KNOW, MR. WYLER,

I'M NOT PLANNIN'
TO DIE FOR A WHILE.

BUT EVERY MORNING WHEN I GET UP,

AND AT NIGHT
BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP,

I THINK ABOUT MY
ACCOUNTS WITH PEOPLE.

IF I GO, I WANT MY BOOKS SQUARE.

AND YOU JUST DON'T TRUST
YOUR BUSINESS MANAGER.

YOU REALIZE WE'RE NOT TALKING
ABOUT MONEY ACCOUNTS HERE.

AND I HOPE WHEN WE'RE FINISHED, YOU
WON'T FEEL THAT SOPHOMORE IRONY...

IS THE TONE YOU
WANT TO TAKE WITH ME.

I HAVE NO INTEREST IN
TALKING TO YOU AT ALL.

NOT SQUARING ACCOUNTS
IS WHY YOU FEEL THAT WAY.

I LEFT SOME UNFINISHED
BUSINESS WITH YOUR FATHER.

DON'T YOU BRING HIM INTO THIS. I
LEFT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS,

AND IT'S CARRIED OVER
LIKE IT ALWAYS DOES.

MR. WYLER, THE
PRESENT IS HARD ENOUGH,

SQUARING OFF WITH FOLKS
THAT ARE FLESH AND BLOOD.

WHEN GHOSTS START LACING UP THEIR
GLOVES, THE RING GETS KINDA CROWDED.

SPARE ME THE
COME-ON, MR. DIETRICH.

SPEAK YOUR MIND, AND LET'S
MAKE AN EARLY EVENING OF THIS.

YOU THINK I UNDID YOUR
FATHER IN SOME WAY,

THAT I CORRUPTED
HIM IN HIS UNION WORK.

YOU DIDN'T JUST CORRUPT
HIM. YOU DESTROYED HIM.

YOU KNOW, I'M OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW I CAN'T
CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT
YOU CAN HEAR AN APOLOGY...

FOR WRONGS DONE OR PERCEIVED.

FROM A MAN WHO WANTS
HIS BOOKS SQUARE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

APOLOGY ACCEPTED.

REALLY? REALLY.

AND WITH GREAT CONVICTION.

WELL, THERE'S THAT
SOPHOMORE IRONY AGAIN.

WELL, I PREFER TO THINK OF
IT AS GROWN-UP CONTEMPT.

A GROWN MAN WOULD KNOW
WHEN HE'S OVERMATCHED...

AND ACCEPT THAT WITH GRACE...

AND TURN THE SITUATION
AROUND TO HIS BENEFIT.

WELL, I GUESS WE JUST
CAN'T AGREE ON A PREMISE.

ALL RIGHT.

OH, I UNDERSTAND YOU FOUND
YOURSELF A SECRET WITNESS LAST EVENING.

YOU WON'T FIND
HIM, MR. DIETRICH.

SURE, I WILL, JIMMY.

JUST AS SURE AS I PUT
YOUR DAD IN MY POCKET.

GOOD EVENING, MR. WYLER.

COFFEE? NO, THANKS.

I HAVE A HARD ENOUGH
TIME SLEEPING AS IT IS.

I WAS DISSATISFIED WITH THE WAY
OUR PHONE CONVERSATION ENDED.

WELL, PUTTING IN A PERSONAL
APPEARANCE WON'T DO ANYTHING...

EXCEPT SAVE ME A
MESSENGER'S FEE.

A CHECK FOR $174,000...

AND A PROMISSORY
NOTE FOR THE BALANCE.

I CAN SEE I'VE
WOUNDED YOUR PRIDE.

THIS HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH MY PRIDE.

WHEN I TOLD YOU I COULDN'T
ACCEPT YOUR MONEY, I MEANT IT.

BECAUSE YOU SUSPECT ME OF
SOME HIDDEN AGENDA, RIGHT?

QUITE FRANKLY, YES.

WELL, I CAN ASSURE YOU MY ONLY
AGENDA IS TO FIND TOM'S KILLER.

WHAT YOU WANT IS CONTROL.

A WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF
WHEN YOU'RE ON THE STAND.

NOW WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS
BEFORE. IT'S A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

ONLY IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO
HANDLE ME WITH KID GLOVES.

HAVING SEEN YOU IN ACTION, I DON'T
THINK THERE'S MUCH DANGER OF THAT.

THE LINE OF PEOPLE THAT THINK I'VE SOLD
OUT ALREADY EXTENDS AROUND THE BLOCK.

I'M NOT LOOKING TO MAKE YOUR
JOB ANY HARDER THAN IT IS, ALL RIGHT?

THE ONLY REASON I DEPOSITED
THAT CHECK INTO YOUR ACCOUNT...

WAS SO THAT I COULD FINALLY PUT
MY MONEY TO SOME GOOD PURPOSE.

IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN,
I'M A VICTIM IN THIS CASE TOO.

IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A LOAN.

OF COURSE.

BUT I'M STILL GONNA GO AFTER
YOU ON THE STAND IF I HAVE TO.

I'M GONNA DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO
PROTECT THE BEST INTERESTS OF MY CLIENT.

NATURALLY.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER INTERESTS
YOU'D LIKE TO TURN YOUR ATTENTION TO?

THERE IS NOTHING FOR
SALE HERE, MRS. VAN ALLAN.

THEN THIS IS FOR FREE.
