Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,821 --> 00:00:02,550
In the criminal
justice system
2
00:00:02,623 --> 00:00:06,491
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:08,391
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,462 --> 00:00:11,226
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,299 --> 00:00:13,290
These are their stories.
6
00:00:13,834 --> 00:00:16,462
They wanted Mark Messier
for the Tommy Boy spread.
7
00:00:16,537 --> 00:00:17,731
Can you imagine?
8
00:00:17,805 --> 00:00:21,400
I mean, Messier's a hunk, but he's
way too butch for that market.
9
00:00:21,475 --> 00:00:22,533
Now, Gretzky...
10
00:00:22,610 --> 00:00:24,407
For her entrance,
Hello Dolly or Mame?
11
00:00:24,478 --> 00:00:27,709
Oh, don't be so obvious.
Can't we just get by with Happy Birthday?
12
00:00:29,250 --> 00:00:31,275
Everybody, in the kitchen.
13
00:00:32,253 --> 00:00:33,652
False alarm.
14
00:00:34,555 --> 00:00:35,783
Come in.
15
00:00:36,590 --> 00:00:38,319
Everybody, Richard.
16
00:00:38,592 --> 00:00:40,457
Hello, Richard.
17
00:00:40,528 --> 00:00:44,555
God, where is she? Probably trying
on every outfit in her closet.
18
00:00:45,299 --> 00:00:47,290
Good to see you,
Richard.
19
00:00:50,004 --> 00:00:51,995
Chrissie? Dinner's ready.
20
00:01:02,249 --> 00:01:03,511
Chrissie?
21
00:01:05,086 --> 00:01:08,886
I'm sure your hair's perfect
and your outfit's to die for.
22
00:01:10,658 --> 00:01:11,920
Chrissie?
23
00:01:15,396 --> 00:01:16,658
Chrissie?
24
00:01:19,633 --> 00:01:21,100
Dear God, no!
25
00:01:23,070 --> 00:01:24,401
The Christine Sandler.
26
00:01:24,538 --> 00:01:25,562
You remember her?
27
00:01:25,639 --> 00:01:29,075
Who wouldn't?
Twiggy was all bones.
28
00:01:29,143 --> 00:01:32,237
This one was all there.
I always wanted to meet her.
29
00:01:32,313 --> 00:01:34,406
Well, you're about
six hours too late.
30
00:01:34,548 --> 00:01:36,675
And she didn't look
like that anymore.
31
00:01:36,751 --> 00:01:40,209
Yeah. I heard she fell on
hard times for a while there.
32
00:01:40,421 --> 00:01:44,517
No harder than the edge of this table.
Looks like she took a header.
33
00:01:44,592 --> 00:01:47,789
Probably took half an hour to bleed out.
Check this out.
34
00:01:47,862 --> 00:01:49,796
Dried blood smudge, under here.
35
00:01:49,997 --> 00:01:51,589
From somebody
grabbing the table.
36
00:01:51,665 --> 00:01:53,724
She tried to
pull herself up?
37
00:01:53,801 --> 00:01:55,496
No. No blood on her hands.
38
00:01:55,569 --> 00:01:57,662
But there's no way to know how
long that blood's been there.
39
00:01:57,738 --> 00:01:59,706
Half a day, half a year.
40
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,637
Very helpful, Ed.
41
00:02:03,411 --> 00:02:05,606
Dilantin. Hundred milligrams.
42
00:02:05,713 --> 00:02:08,011
Uppers?
Anti-seizure medicine.
43
00:02:09,050 --> 00:02:10,915
She was supposed to
come over at 8:00.
44
00:02:10,985 --> 00:02:14,352
I was busy cooking.
If only I'd got there sooner.
45
00:02:14,422 --> 00:02:16,185
When was the last
time you saw her?
46
00:02:16,257 --> 00:02:18,282
This morning,
on my way to work.
47
00:02:18,359 --> 00:02:20,623
She was going for her jog.
She looked fine.
48
00:02:20,761 --> 00:02:23,025
Rey, found these
in her apartment.
49
00:02:23,097 --> 00:02:24,564
Anti-seizure pills.
50
00:02:24,698 --> 00:02:26,165
Chrissie had epilepsy.
51
00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:30,067
She had a grand mal seizure
once in my apartment.
52
00:02:30,137 --> 00:02:32,731
That's why she gave me a key to her door.
Just in case.
53
00:02:32,807 --> 00:02:34,001
And the pills weren't helping?
54
00:02:34,075 --> 00:02:37,272
When she took them, Chrissie
was a very energized woman.
55
00:02:37,344 --> 00:02:38,902
Dilantin slowed her down.
56
00:02:38,979 --> 00:02:41,174
Hey!
Craig, what's going on?
57
00:02:42,349 --> 00:02:44,112
Is it my mother?
Is she okay?
58
00:02:44,185 --> 00:02:45,447
You're Miss Sandler's son?
59
00:02:45,519 --> 00:02:47,350
Yes. What happened to her?
60
00:02:47,421 --> 00:02:48,752
Doug, why don't we
go into my apartment?
61
00:02:48,889 --> 00:02:50,220
No, I want to see my mother.
62
00:02:50,291 --> 00:02:54,057
Your mother's had an accident.
I'm sorry. She's dead.
63
00:02:56,297 --> 00:02:59,391
Why don't you take Mr.
Holland up on his offer?
64
00:03:04,338 --> 00:03:06,101
Some surprise party.
65
00:03:56,022 --> 00:03:57,250
I don't get it.
66
00:03:57,323 --> 00:04:00,451
My mother said she had the
seizures under control.
67
00:04:00,527 --> 00:04:02,893
Did she live with anybody?
68
00:04:03,029 --> 00:04:05,395
No, nobody.
She was alone.
69
00:04:06,266 --> 00:04:08,097
How about your dad?
He around?
70
00:04:09,235 --> 00:04:11,100
Not around here.
71
00:04:11,538 --> 00:04:13,472
He divorced her when I was 10.
72
00:04:13,540 --> 00:04:16,532
I went to live with him.
My choice.
73
00:04:16,609 --> 00:04:18,634
But now you've been seeing
her pretty regular?
74
00:04:18,711 --> 00:04:21,236
Yeah, for about
the past six months.
75
00:04:24,083 --> 00:04:25,983
We were just getting
to know each other.
76
00:04:26,052 --> 00:04:28,748
Did she have any
problems with anyone?
77
00:04:28,821 --> 00:04:30,015
A boyfriend, maybe?
78
00:04:30,089 --> 00:04:31,454
No, there was nobody.
79
00:04:32,792 --> 00:04:34,657
I thought you guys said
this was an accident.
80
00:04:34,727 --> 00:04:37,594
Sure, but there's always a possibility
it might be something else.
81
00:04:37,664 --> 00:04:39,495
Something to do
with drugs, for instance.
82
00:04:39,566 --> 00:04:40,863
I don't mean to be insensitive,
83
00:04:40,934 --> 00:04:42,959
but your mom did get
into trouble over that.
84
00:04:43,036 --> 00:04:46,938
No, it was old stuff.
She's been clean for the last four years.
85
00:04:47,874 --> 00:04:50,775
She went straight and
she was getting work.
86
00:04:51,778 --> 00:04:55,646
This was a stupid seizure because
she wouldn't take her pills.
87
00:04:59,085 --> 00:05:01,952
I worked up a Dilantin blood
level for your model.
88
00:05:02,021 --> 00:05:03,386
She had an eight point nine.
89
00:05:03,456 --> 00:05:04,889
On a scale of what?
90
00:05:04,958 --> 00:05:06,949
Well, 10 to 20
is the safe range,
91
00:05:07,093 --> 00:05:09,118
but an eight could've
kept her seizure-free.
92
00:05:09,195 --> 00:05:11,322
So she could have
seized, or maybe not.
93
00:05:11,397 --> 00:05:12,489
What about other drugs?
94
00:05:12,565 --> 00:05:14,897
The tox screen
will take a week.
95
00:05:15,134 --> 00:05:18,900
If she had a seizure, there'd be
biting on the lips or tongue.
96
00:05:18,972 --> 00:05:21,202
There'd be signs of choking
and flailing injuries.
97
00:05:21,274 --> 00:05:25,711
I didn't see any of that.
But I did find bruises on her upper arms.
98
00:05:27,847 --> 00:05:29,872
Christine Sandler
had type B blood.
99
00:05:30,283 --> 00:05:31,978
The blood on
the table was type O.
100
00:05:32,051 --> 00:05:33,040
And it could've been left there
101
00:05:33,119 --> 00:05:34,245
by the guy who made the table.
102
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,914
Or the perp who cut himself on
the broaches on her jacket.
103
00:05:36,990 --> 00:05:39,151
There were traces of that
type O blood on her lapel.
104
00:05:39,225 --> 00:05:41,386
Diamond broaches
from Tiffany's?
105
00:05:41,461 --> 00:05:44,453
Didn't Christine Sandler hit the
skids with a cocaine habit?
106
00:05:44,530 --> 00:05:46,521
Well, she just
signed on as spokesmodel
107
00:05:46,666 --> 00:05:48,657
for New Beginnings Face Cream.
108
00:05:48,735 --> 00:05:52,899
Well, it's comforting to know even
50-year-old models have groupies.
109
00:05:53,339 --> 00:05:55,136
Drugstore in my neighborhood's
110
00:05:55,208 --> 00:05:57,301
had her picture in the window
for the last month.
111
00:05:57,377 --> 00:06:00,403
Mmm-hmm. I'm very sorry
for your loss, Lennie.
112
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,677
So, aside from bruises and
dried blood, anything else?
113
00:06:03,750 --> 00:06:05,445
Maybe a suspect?
114
00:06:05,518 --> 00:06:06,780
Nobody that sticks out.
115
00:06:06,853 --> 00:06:08,753
Well, she ran
with a wild crowd, right?
116
00:06:08,821 --> 00:06:11,585
She used to. According to her
son, that was all behind her.
117
00:06:11,658 --> 00:06:13,592
Well, maybe that's what
she wanted him to believe.
118
00:06:13,660 --> 00:06:15,753
What did she tell her friends?
119
00:06:16,629 --> 00:06:19,029
Wild? Come on!
120
00:06:19,499 --> 00:06:23,094
You saw the people at my party.
That was her crowd now.
121
00:06:23,503 --> 00:06:25,869
Just your ordinary,
everyday folks, huh?
122
00:06:25,938 --> 00:06:28,566
Lucille and Sara
knew her from A.A.
123
00:06:28,641 --> 00:06:30,632
James and Laura
were from C.A.
124
00:06:30,710 --> 00:06:34,111
She met Elaine, that's her bookkeeper,
at some Buddhist retreat.
125
00:06:34,180 --> 00:06:36,307
Chrissie used to
chant every day.
126
00:06:36,449 --> 00:06:38,610
She got into it
because of Tina Turner.
127
00:06:39,118 --> 00:06:42,519
Now, when she moved in across the
hall, she was a very lonely woman.
128
00:06:42,588 --> 00:06:44,886
Not much money
except for some residuals
129
00:06:44,957 --> 00:06:46,652
from a series
she did in the '80s.
130
00:06:46,726 --> 00:06:47,818
One season, then out.
131
00:06:47,894 --> 00:06:51,295
How'd she get back on her feet financially?
A fairy godmother?
132
00:06:51,364 --> 00:06:53,491
Well, you're half
right there, Detective.
133
00:06:53,566 --> 00:06:56,057
One of the agencies I work
for was looking for someone
134
00:06:56,135 --> 00:06:58,603
for their New Beginnings
campaign.
135
00:06:59,005 --> 00:07:01,906
I looked across the hall,
and there was Chrissie.
136
00:07:01,974 --> 00:07:03,999
She was lucky to have you.
137
00:07:04,911 --> 00:07:06,674
I was her only family.
138
00:07:06,813 --> 00:07:08,610
What does that
make Douglas Burke?
139
00:07:10,049 --> 00:07:11,846
Family in name only.
140
00:07:12,452 --> 00:07:13,476
Don't get me wrong.
141
00:07:13,553 --> 00:07:17,512
She wanted to make it all up to the
kid, but they argued all the time.
142
00:07:17,590 --> 00:07:19,558
About what?
Old issues.
143
00:07:20,026 --> 00:07:23,325
He caused her a lot of pain, and
I don't mind sharing the news,
144
00:07:23,396 --> 00:07:27,093
but what can you expect?
An acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.
145
00:07:27,166 --> 00:07:29,293
I assume you're
referring to his dad.
146
00:07:29,369 --> 00:07:30,961
Jimmy Burke.
147
00:07:31,204 --> 00:07:33,764
Chrissie told me some
stories about him, too.
148
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,331
Poster boy for Wife
Beaters Anonymous.
149
00:07:36,409 --> 00:07:37,433
Jimmy Burke.
150
00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:39,705
Wasn't he in that old band,
China something?
151
00:07:39,779 --> 00:07:43,442
China Creek.
Listen to you. Old band.
152
00:07:44,350 --> 00:07:47,217
They were playing on my 8-track
when I lost my virginity.
153
00:07:47,286 --> 00:07:48,514
Is that right?
154
00:07:48,955 --> 00:07:50,217
I never heard of them.
155
00:07:51,057 --> 00:07:53,116
Did Burke ever drop
in on Miss Sandler?
156
00:07:53,192 --> 00:07:54,420
I doubt it.
157
00:07:54,494 --> 00:07:56,826
He was the one that started
her on drugs and booze
158
00:07:56,896 --> 00:07:59,626
and then dumped her
when she reached 40.
159
00:08:00,633 --> 00:08:03,033
Guys like him
don't die, you see.
160
00:08:04,437 --> 00:08:06,166
Just people like Chrissie.
161
00:08:10,476 --> 00:08:12,467
Tommy Lee has Pamela,
David has lman,
162
00:08:12,545 --> 00:08:15,480
and I had Chris. You're a rock
star, you gotta have the model.
163
00:08:15,548 --> 00:08:17,982
You guys thirsty?
I know I am.
164
00:08:18,251 --> 00:08:21,345
No, thanks. So this is how
a rock star lives, huh?
165
00:08:21,421 --> 00:08:24,857
Yeah, when they play bass
and don't write the songs
166
00:08:24,924 --> 00:08:26,858
and don't get royalties.
167
00:08:26,926 --> 00:08:29,793
You sound real broken up
over Christine's death.
168
00:08:29,862 --> 00:08:32,888
Well, I suffer
in my own way, man.
169
00:08:32,965 --> 00:08:35,126
I internalize.
You understand.
170
00:08:35,201 --> 00:08:37,795
It's a curse.
Chris was a fine woman.
171
00:08:38,738 --> 00:08:41,002
So what did she see in you?
Me?
172
00:08:41,073 --> 00:08:43,098
I was "it," man. Dig this.
173
00:08:43,543 --> 00:08:45,909
I started the whole
tattoo thing,
174
00:08:45,978 --> 00:08:51,644
and Chris had some exciting
tats in some exciting places.
175
00:08:52,051 --> 00:08:55,350
When I first met her,
she was a sweet piece, man.
176
00:08:55,421 --> 00:08:57,013
She was only 22.
177
00:08:57,457 --> 00:08:59,891
And what happened?
She didn't age well?
178
00:08:59,959 --> 00:09:03,258
Well, women in their 40s,
you know, it's like money.
179
00:09:03,763 --> 00:09:05,890
You change them for two 20s.
180
00:09:07,099 --> 00:09:08,589
When did
you see her last?
181
00:09:08,968 --> 00:09:10,230
Not for a long time.
182
00:09:10,303 --> 00:09:12,396
Which for you could've been
about five minutes, right?
183
00:09:13,573 --> 00:09:15,871
What about last Thursday?
Where were you?
184
00:09:15,942 --> 00:09:20,140
Uh, last Thursday, man.
I had some gig to go to.
185
00:09:21,214 --> 00:09:22,203
And did you?
186
00:09:23,983 --> 00:09:25,245
Probably.
187
00:09:25,718 --> 00:09:26,707
Uh...
188
00:09:27,553 --> 00:09:28,645
Here.
189
00:09:29,388 --> 00:09:31,049
2:00. See?
I worked a session.
190
00:09:31,157 --> 00:09:34,422
Some mattress company
jingle. I was there.
191
00:09:35,828 --> 00:09:36,817
For how long?
192
00:09:36,896 --> 00:09:37,885
Forever, man.
193
00:09:38,297 --> 00:09:39,525
I needed the money.
194
00:09:39,599 --> 00:09:41,658
And the name of
the recording studio?
195
00:09:42,134 --> 00:09:45,570
He was here. Barely.
I was lucky he showed at all.
196
00:09:45,838 --> 00:09:47,100
I mean, he can play, you know,
197
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,537
but the man does
not own a watch,
198
00:09:48,608 --> 00:09:50,303
and his answering machine's,
like, always broken.
199
00:09:50,376 --> 00:09:51,843
How close to
2:00 did he show?
200
00:09:51,911 --> 00:09:52,935
2:00?
201
00:09:53,012 --> 00:09:54,377
Burke didn't get
here till, like, 4:00,
202
00:09:54,447 --> 00:09:55,778
moaning and groaning about how
203
00:09:55,848 --> 00:09:57,644
some chick
wouldn't let go of him.
204
00:09:57,716 --> 00:09:58,774
What chick?
205
00:09:58,850 --> 00:09:59,839
Sheila Mullins.
206
00:10:00,752 --> 00:10:04,279
Anyone with a guitar
knows her, man, and I qualify.
207
00:10:05,023 --> 00:10:07,514
You want to hear
me play Louie Louie?
208
00:10:07,692 --> 00:10:11,992
He was there, at my place.
He's helping me get my break. I sing.
209
00:10:12,631 --> 00:10:14,360
Do you remember
what time he left?
210
00:10:14,432 --> 00:10:16,491
Is this about his ex?
The dead model?
211
00:10:16,568 --> 00:10:19,503
Miss Mullins...
He didn't have anything to do with that.
212
00:10:19,571 --> 00:10:20,833
We have a saying in Meadville,
213
00:10:20,906 --> 00:10:22,897
"Never kick a gift
horse in the mouth."
214
00:10:22,974 --> 00:10:26,068
Whoa, whoa, wait a minute.
She was supporting him?
215
00:10:26,144 --> 00:10:28,237
I guess she helped him out.
216
00:10:28,413 --> 00:10:30,677
He said he was gonna get some
money from her that day.
217
00:10:30,749 --> 00:10:33,047
So, what time did he leave you?
218
00:10:33,885 --> 00:10:34,977
2:30.
219
00:10:36,321 --> 00:10:38,516
He didn't kill her, you know.
220
00:10:38,590 --> 00:10:41,115
Maybe once he tore
up a few hotel rooms,
221
00:10:41,192 --> 00:10:44,355
but he's way too
screwed up to hurt anyone.
222
00:10:44,429 --> 00:10:46,397
Miss?
Excuse me a sec.
223
00:10:48,633 --> 00:10:51,295
He showed up with
his bass at 4:00.
224
00:10:51,369 --> 00:10:55,066
Screwed up or not, even he could
land a punch in two hours.
225
00:10:55,774 --> 00:10:57,105
What two hours?
226
00:10:57,409 --> 00:10:58,774
What, are you brain-dead?
227
00:10:58,944 --> 00:11:01,708
You were two hours
late for your gig.
228
00:11:01,780 --> 00:11:03,304
I got there, didn't I?
229
00:11:03,381 --> 00:11:05,542
I didn't have enough money
for a cab, so I walked.
230
00:11:05,617 --> 00:11:06,845
People still walk, you know.
231
00:11:06,918 --> 00:11:09,113
You walked over to
your ex-wife's place,
232
00:11:09,254 --> 00:11:11,484
you hit her up for
a year's worth of carfare.
233
00:11:11,556 --> 00:11:14,024
Yeah, when she turned you
down, you got pissed off!
234
00:11:14,092 --> 00:11:15,582
You think I killed Chris?
235
00:11:15,660 --> 00:11:17,287
I don't think you'd
remember if you did.
236
00:11:17,362 --> 00:11:19,330
That is
such a lie, man.
237
00:11:20,565 --> 00:11:21,930
Look, we're just
wasting our time, Rey.
238
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,195
Why don't you take a walk and
leave me alone with him, huh?
239
00:11:24,269 --> 00:11:27,636
Jimmy, you don't want to be
left alone with this guy.
240
00:11:28,039 --> 00:11:29,404
He had a big
hang-up on her once.
241
00:11:29,474 --> 00:11:30,498
But I didn't kill her!
242
00:11:30,575 --> 00:11:32,702
You didn't mean to?
You lost your head? Is that it?
243
00:11:32,777 --> 00:11:35,371
I'd go with losing my head.
You could sell that to a jury.
244
00:11:35,447 --> 00:11:38,177
I wasn't there. I didn't kill her.
That part's all true.
245
00:11:38,249 --> 00:11:40,012
And what part isn't?
246
00:11:41,052 --> 00:11:42,451
She was giving me money, okay?
247
00:11:43,622 --> 00:11:46,489
Yesterday you said you hadn't
seen her or talked to her.
248
00:11:46,558 --> 00:11:47,855
You're lying again, Jimmy.
249
00:11:47,926 --> 00:11:49,188
I hadn't talked
to her in years.
250
00:11:49,260 --> 00:11:51,057
My kid Doug asked her
to loan me some money.
251
00:11:51,129 --> 00:11:53,097
She gave the money
to him to give to me.
252
00:11:53,164 --> 00:11:54,529
Not a whole lot.
Two hundred bucks.
253
00:11:54,599 --> 00:11:55,896
Once? Twice? What?
254
00:11:56,301 --> 00:11:57,325
A couple of times.
255
00:11:57,402 --> 00:11:59,336
Doug was supposed to ask her
for a couple of grand
256
00:11:59,404 --> 00:12:01,804
so I could get
myself out to the coast.
257
00:12:02,173 --> 00:12:04,607
Turn myself around.
The way she did.
258
00:12:07,612 --> 00:12:09,512
But I'd never kill her.
259
00:12:13,451 --> 00:12:15,578
Maybe we are
making a mistake, Jimmy.
260
00:12:16,121 --> 00:12:18,248
Take a blood test,
prove us wrong.
261
00:12:24,195 --> 00:12:26,823
If this guy Burke says he wasn't
in the victim's apartment,
262
00:12:26,898 --> 00:12:28,365
believe him.
263
00:12:28,433 --> 00:12:32,369
Nothing matches.
Not his blood, hair, or prints.
264
00:12:32,671 --> 00:12:34,298
Well, not to sound
ungrateful, Ellis,
265
00:12:34,372 --> 00:12:36,237
but you could have told
us that over the phone.
266
00:12:36,307 --> 00:12:38,172
That's not why I
called you down here.
267
00:12:38,309 --> 00:12:40,174
Those two blood
types we lifted?
268
00:12:40,245 --> 00:12:42,213
The B and the O?
Right.
269
00:12:42,614 --> 00:12:44,741
They may not be the same type,
270
00:12:44,816 --> 00:12:47,444
but they share
one common allele.
271
00:12:47,852 --> 00:12:50,320
And in human talk that means...
272
00:12:50,388 --> 00:12:51,685
It's a DNA pattern.
273
00:12:51,756 --> 00:12:53,121
The donors may be related.
274
00:12:53,191 --> 00:12:55,455
Exactly.
Very good, Detective.
275
00:12:56,361 --> 00:12:57,692
After I spotted
the similarities,
276
00:12:57,762 --> 00:13:01,027
I ran five different markers
to eliminate any coincidence.
277
00:13:01,099 --> 00:13:02,999
The donors are related.
278
00:13:03,301 --> 00:13:06,668
The type O blood comes from
a relative of the victim?
279
00:13:06,771 --> 00:13:08,796
Blood relative, yes.
280
00:13:10,008 --> 00:13:12,875
They always argued,
and he was late to the party.
281
00:13:12,944 --> 00:13:16,209
Sounds like Douggie still
had issues with his mama.
282
00:13:16,448 --> 00:13:17,642
Thanks.
283
00:13:19,317 --> 00:13:22,650
First my father, then me.
You guys think murder runs in our family?
284
00:13:22,721 --> 00:13:25,747
Well, so far, mooching from your
mother seems to be genetic.
285
00:13:25,824 --> 00:13:28,224
It's hard being
a musician, okay?
286
00:13:29,427 --> 00:13:33,386
Dad thought Mom was loaded.
He said she wouldn't mind helping out.
287
00:13:33,465 --> 00:13:34,898
But I wasn't gonna
ask her for the money.
288
00:13:34,966 --> 00:13:36,900
So, are you calling
your father a liar?
289
00:13:36,968 --> 00:13:37,992
No.
290
00:13:38,303 --> 00:13:41,864
I gave him my own money.
I just told him it was from her.
291
00:13:42,340 --> 00:13:44,069
Oh! That's sweet.
292
00:13:44,342 --> 00:13:47,539
But see, we found blood
all over her dining table,
293
00:13:47,979 --> 00:13:49,537
and you got cuts
all over your hands.
294
00:13:49,614 --> 00:13:52,048
I install custom stereos.
295
00:13:52,117 --> 00:13:54,677
Digging around behind walls.
I'm always cutting myself.
296
00:13:54,753 --> 00:13:57,586
Doing what?
Bouncing your mom off the walls?
297
00:13:57,655 --> 00:13:59,919
What'd she do,
tell you the well ran dry?
298
00:13:59,991 --> 00:14:02,482
That your old man was gonna have
to pay for his own damn drugs?
299
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:06,018
That's a lot of crap, and if you think
I killed her then you're full of crap.
300
00:14:06,097 --> 00:14:07,758
Tell me something.
301
00:14:08,032 --> 00:14:11,126
You have aunts and uncles
on your mother's side?
302
00:14:11,770 --> 00:14:15,137
There's my grandmother.
She's sick. It's Alzheimer's.
303
00:14:16,007 --> 00:14:18,168
She's in some home in Jersey.
We haven't seen her in a while.
304
00:14:18,243 --> 00:14:21,041
Well, then we got
a big problem, Douggie.
305
00:14:21,846 --> 00:14:25,577
See, there were two types of
blood found at the crime scene.
306
00:14:25,650 --> 00:14:27,982
Now, through the miracles
of modern medicine,
307
00:14:28,052 --> 00:14:31,112
we know that the two people they
belong to have to be related.
308
00:14:31,189 --> 00:14:34,522
So, unless somebody else falls
out of your family tree...
309
00:14:34,592 --> 00:14:35,923
You're it.
310
00:14:36,027 --> 00:14:39,224
Take a blood test, you can
be cleared in a minute.
311
00:14:39,464 --> 00:14:42,763
I cannot believe this.
It's not my blood.
312
00:14:47,005 --> 00:14:49,235
I think I better get a lawyer.
313
00:14:49,574 --> 00:14:50,905
We went through
Christine's apartment,
314
00:14:50,975 --> 00:14:53,034
her personal belongings,
talked to her friends.
315
00:14:53,111 --> 00:14:56,342
Unless Grandma got out of her
rubber room, Douggie's our boy.
316
00:14:56,414 --> 00:14:57,506
Well, here's something.
317
00:14:57,582 --> 00:15:00,881
Latent found some unidentified
prints all over the kitchen.
318
00:15:00,952 --> 00:15:03,079
Really?
Five-to-one they're his.
319
00:15:03,154 --> 00:15:04,781
I'll add it to our application.
320
00:15:04,856 --> 00:15:07,723
Okay, so you do the dance with his
lawyer, what do we do with Douglas?
321
00:15:07,792 --> 00:15:09,384
Find out what other
lies he's telling.
322
00:15:09,460 --> 00:15:11,655
Well, he said he never took
money from his mother.
323
00:15:11,729 --> 00:15:14,425
Let's check it out
with her bookkeeper.
324
00:15:14,699 --> 00:15:16,166
I told you on the
phone, she never talked
325
00:15:16,234 --> 00:15:17,565
about giving money to Douglas.
326
00:15:17,635 --> 00:15:19,000
But she might
have helped him out.
327
00:15:19,070 --> 00:15:20,401
Nickels and dimes, maybe.
328
00:15:20,471 --> 00:15:22,200
I kept Christine
on an allowance.
329
00:15:22,273 --> 00:15:24,571
I knew exactly what she spent
and where she spent it.
330
00:15:24,642 --> 00:15:27,133
What about this
check here for $2,500,
331
00:15:27,212 --> 00:15:29,339
made out to cash
a few weeks ago?
332
00:15:29,647 --> 00:15:31,012
Oh, yes. I asked her
about that.
333
00:15:31,149 --> 00:15:32,514
What was her story?
334
00:15:32,584 --> 00:15:34,518
I was worried she was going
back to her old habits.
335
00:15:34,586 --> 00:15:36,554
She swore it was
nothing like that.
336
00:15:36,621 --> 00:15:38,714
Said some old friend of the
family turned up out of the blue
337
00:15:38,790 --> 00:15:39,950
and needed some cash.
338
00:15:40,091 --> 00:15:43,458
What about the canceled check?
It had to be endorsed.
339
00:15:49,834 --> 00:15:51,495
Check number 1356.
340
00:15:52,937 --> 00:15:55,132
I can't read the endorsement.
341
00:15:59,978 --> 00:16:01,172
I don't
understand this.
342
00:16:01,246 --> 00:16:02,372
The teller who
cashed this check
343
00:16:02,447 --> 00:16:04,677
is usually very efficient,
and very careful.
344
00:16:04,749 --> 00:16:07,081
We don't want to get her in any trouble.
The check was good.
345
00:16:11,890 --> 00:16:13,790
This is Sonja Harland.
346
00:16:13,858 --> 00:16:15,325
They're with the police, Sonja.
347
00:16:16,527 --> 00:16:17,516
Is something wrong?
348
00:16:17,595 --> 00:16:19,825
It seems you cashed a check
drawn from another bank
349
00:16:19,898 --> 00:16:23,334
without taking proper ID.
The endorsement's illegible.
350
00:16:23,902 --> 00:16:26,962
This is not the way
we conduct business, Sonja.
351
00:16:27,105 --> 00:16:28,697
It didn't bounce, did it?
352
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,432
That is hardly the point here.
353
00:16:30,508 --> 00:16:32,237
I'm really sorry,
Mr. Abrams.
354
00:16:32,310 --> 00:16:35,506
I'm sure I called the issuing
bank and got an okay.
355
00:16:35,579 --> 00:16:36,978
What's this about?
356
00:16:37,047 --> 00:16:38,776
These are detectives.
What do you think?
357
00:16:38,849 --> 00:16:42,046
Excuse me, Mr. Abrams.
This isn't about fraud or anything like that.
358
00:16:42,119 --> 00:16:44,713
We're just trying to find out
who cashed that check.
359
00:16:44,788 --> 00:16:47,780
Do you remember
if it was either of these men?
360
00:16:48,358 --> 00:16:50,155
No, I don't think so.
361
00:16:52,195 --> 00:16:53,423
I made a mistake.
362
00:16:53,497 --> 00:16:56,489
I'm sure I saw some ID, I
just forgot to write it down.
363
00:16:56,566 --> 00:16:59,592
I'm sorry.
It won't ever happen again.
364
00:16:59,670 --> 00:17:02,104
We'll talk later, Sonja.
Thank you.
365
00:17:05,742 --> 00:17:08,836
Well, I guess she's not gonna
make "Employee of the Month."
366
00:17:08,912 --> 00:17:10,777
Why would Christine
lie to her bookkeeper
367
00:17:10,847 --> 00:17:12,439
about giving
the check to Douggie?
368
00:17:12,516 --> 00:17:15,007
I mean, the bookkeeper knew
they were trying to make up.
369
00:17:15,085 --> 00:17:17,713
She gave 2,500
bucks to an "old friend."
370
00:17:17,788 --> 00:17:19,278
Wish I had an old
friend like that.
371
00:17:19,356 --> 00:17:21,984
Yeah, an old family friend.
Let's ask her family.
372
00:17:22,059 --> 00:17:24,926
Who? Her ex-husband?
He barely remembers being married to her.
373
00:17:24,995 --> 00:17:26,519
No, I mean Christine's mom.
374
00:17:26,596 --> 00:17:28,996
Oh, even better.
She's got Alzheimer's.
375
00:17:30,067 --> 00:17:32,001
I hate going to Jersey.
376
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,970
Does Mrs. Sandinsky know
about her daughter's death?
377
00:17:40,043 --> 00:17:41,635
We told her right away.
378
00:17:41,712 --> 00:17:43,873
Sometimes she remembers,
sometimes she doesn't.
379
00:17:43,947 --> 00:17:46,040
It goes with the territory.
380
00:17:50,387 --> 00:17:53,117
Sarah, these gentleman
are here from the city.
381
00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:55,021
They want to ask
you a few questions.
382
00:17:55,092 --> 00:17:57,117
How are you,
Mrs. Sandinsky?
383
00:17:57,194 --> 00:18:01,494
How nice of you boys to
come for a visit. So nice.
384
00:18:02,733 --> 00:18:04,860
Are you here about Chrissie?
385
00:18:05,402 --> 00:18:07,962
Yes. We're sorry
about your loss, ma'am.
386
00:18:08,338 --> 00:18:10,135
Thank you.
387
00:18:11,508 --> 00:18:14,705
We were wondering if you
knew of any old friend
388
00:18:14,778 --> 00:18:17,212
who might have been
in touch with her lately?
389
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,738
Or have any family friends
come by to visit you lately?
390
00:18:20,817 --> 00:18:22,944
Yes. Could you tell
us who that was?
391
00:18:23,020 --> 00:18:24,647
Oh, certainly.
It was Chrissie.
392
00:18:24,788 --> 00:18:26,380
Chrissie? Are you sure?
393
00:18:26,456 --> 00:18:28,686
Oh, yes! It wasn't
very long ago.
394
00:18:29,026 --> 00:18:31,722
Oh? We heard that she hadn't
been by to see you in awhile.
395
00:18:31,795 --> 00:18:33,888
Well,
that's just not true.
396
00:18:34,431 --> 00:18:37,332
Oh, she looked so young,
so pretty.
397
00:18:39,302 --> 00:18:40,894
What a lovely...
398
00:18:42,672 --> 00:18:46,335
What is that you're wearing,
with pockets?
399
00:18:47,778 --> 00:18:49,678
My husband had so many.
400
00:18:50,213 --> 00:18:51,703
A jacket?
401
00:18:51,982 --> 00:18:53,040
Yes.
402
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,814
I'm getting tired.
403
00:18:58,789 --> 00:19:00,689
Is that okay?
404
00:19:01,091 --> 00:19:04,492
Yes. That's just fine.
Say goodbye to the gentlemen.
405
00:19:05,128 --> 00:19:07,096
Goodbye.
Thank you.
406
00:19:11,201 --> 00:19:13,692
I was hoping
she'd be more helpful.
407
00:19:14,738 --> 00:19:17,229
Did you see Miss Sandler
when she came here?
408
00:19:17,307 --> 00:19:20,970
No. The last time was
just around Christmas.
409
00:19:21,378 --> 00:19:23,312
But I've talked to her on the
phone a few times since then.
410
00:19:23,380 --> 00:19:25,871
She never said anything
about coming to visit.
411
00:19:25,949 --> 00:19:29,146
Well, maybe Mrs. Sandinsky's
confusing her with somebody else.
412
00:19:29,219 --> 00:19:31,312
Well, we had to sign in.
Maybe we could take a look at the book?
413
00:19:31,388 --> 00:19:32,616
Mmm-hmm.
414
00:19:38,462 --> 00:19:39,690
Well, look here.
415
00:19:39,763 --> 00:19:42,254
Our "Employee of the Month,"
Sonja Harland.
416
00:19:42,332 --> 00:19:43,924
The bank teller?
417
00:19:44,468 --> 00:19:47,835
Two months ago.
Gee, you think there's more than one?
418
00:19:50,006 --> 00:19:51,530
Bye.
Good night, Sonja.
419
00:19:51,608 --> 00:19:53,838
Miss Harland.
We need to talk.
420
00:19:53,944 --> 00:19:55,935
Talk about what?
About that check you cashed.
421
00:19:56,012 --> 00:19:59,607
I'm sorry. I made a mistake.
It's really no big deal.
422
00:20:00,117 --> 00:20:01,846
It really is a big deal.
423
00:20:01,918 --> 00:20:03,146
So why don't you
tell us about it?
424
00:20:03,220 --> 00:20:04,244
What are you doing to me?
425
00:20:04,321 --> 00:20:06,881
What was going on between
you and Christine Sandler?
426
00:20:06,957 --> 00:20:09,721
Christine Sandler? Nothing.
427
00:20:09,793 --> 00:20:12,455
You can cut the Meryl Streep, Sonja.
We know you knew her.
428
00:20:12,529 --> 00:20:14,360
I cashed her check.
That doesn't mean
429
00:20:14,431 --> 00:20:16,092
we had a relationship
or anything.
430
00:20:16,166 --> 00:20:18,498
Right, and my banker
visits my mom in Florida.
431
00:20:18,568 --> 00:20:19,557
What are you talking about?
432
00:20:19,636 --> 00:20:22,696
Your visit to
Mrs. Sandinsky in New Jersey.
433
00:20:23,206 --> 00:20:25,037
Maybe we ought to talk
about it down at the precinct?
434
00:20:25,108 --> 00:20:26,166
I didn't do anything wrong.
435
00:20:26,243 --> 00:20:27,369
Before
she was killed,
436
00:20:27,444 --> 00:20:29,844
Christine Sandler wrote a
check and you cashed it,
437
00:20:29,913 --> 00:20:32,882
violating about a half a
dozen banking regulations.
438
00:20:32,949 --> 00:20:35,941
Then we find out you visited the
victim's mother in a nursing home.
439
00:20:36,019 --> 00:20:37,213
You think I killed her?
440
00:20:37,287 --> 00:20:39,551
What? You knew her and you just
forgot to tell us about it?
441
00:20:39,623 --> 00:20:41,955
You can see why
we're concerned.
442
00:20:44,761 --> 00:20:46,251
Look, I didn't kill her.
443
00:20:46,329 --> 00:20:48,889
Well, what was going
on between you two?
444
00:20:52,569 --> 00:20:54,230
She was my mother.
445
00:21:01,344 --> 00:21:05,838
I couldn't tell you. I couldn't tell
anyone, out of respect for my mother.
446
00:21:06,149 --> 00:21:08,276
What? She told you to
lie to us in a s�ance?
447
00:21:08,351 --> 00:21:11,252
She was 18 when she gave
me up for adoption.
448
00:21:11,488 --> 00:21:13,854
It's not something
she was proud of.
449
00:21:14,291 --> 00:21:16,350
She wasn't ready to
tell her family yet.
450
00:21:16,426 --> 00:21:17,518
Then after she died, I...
451
00:21:17,594 --> 00:21:19,687
After she was murdered.
452
00:21:20,430 --> 00:21:23,490
I just didn't want to cause
anyone any embarrassment.
453
00:21:23,567 --> 00:21:26,058
I'm sorry.
It was stupid of me.
454
00:21:26,136 --> 00:21:28,127
No. Stupid is
lying to us now.
455
00:21:28,205 --> 00:21:29,695
I'm not lying.
456
00:21:30,340 --> 00:21:32,171
That's why Christine
wrote the check to cash.
457
00:21:32,242 --> 00:21:35,268
That's why she wanted me
to disguise my signature.
458
00:21:35,345 --> 00:21:38,041
She was afraid her bookkeeper
would find out about me.
459
00:21:38,114 --> 00:21:40,605
Then you were afraid somebody would
find out you were blackmailing her.
460
00:21:40,684 --> 00:21:42,549
Why would I do
that to my own mother?
461
00:21:42,619 --> 00:21:45,417
I don't know, those 20 wonderful
years in foster homes?
462
00:21:45,488 --> 00:21:47,479
No. I loved her.
463
00:21:48,158 --> 00:21:50,058
I don't know,
Lennie, I believe her.
464
00:21:50,126 --> 00:21:52,526
I mean, why would she go to all
this trouble of finding her mother
465
00:21:52,596 --> 00:21:55,531
just to kill her?
Assuming, of course, you are her kid.
466
00:21:55,599 --> 00:21:58,500
I can prove it.
I have my birth certificate at home.
467
00:21:58,568 --> 00:22:00,695
It says Christine
Sandinsky's my mother.
468
00:22:00,770 --> 00:22:01,964
Give me 50 bucks.
469
00:22:02,038 --> 00:22:04,268
I'll bring back a birth certificate
that says he's my mother.
470
00:22:04,341 --> 00:22:05,740
I did not make this up.
471
00:22:05,809 --> 00:22:07,970
What do you do? Cruise rest
homes, chat up the old ladies,
472
00:22:08,044 --> 00:22:09,773
find one with a daughter
who has a kid out of wedlock?
473
00:22:09,846 --> 00:22:10,904
Believe me, it's been done.
474
00:22:10,981 --> 00:22:12,505
I don't care what you think.
475
00:22:13,116 --> 00:22:14,777
I am her daughter.
476
00:22:14,884 --> 00:22:16,715
Well, there's one
sure way to prove it.
477
00:22:16,786 --> 00:22:18,310
We put your blood
under a microscope.
478
00:22:18,388 --> 00:22:20,356
Forget it, Lennie.
She was running a scam on this woman.
479
00:22:20,423 --> 00:22:23,119
That's not true.
I'll do the test.
480
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,393
I'll take her to the lab.
481
00:22:32,435 --> 00:22:35,302
Nice. You must have sold
bridges in a prior life.
482
00:22:35,372 --> 00:22:36,532
She's gonna kick herself
483
00:22:36,606 --> 00:22:38,801
when we match it to the
blood in the apartment.
484
00:22:38,875 --> 00:22:39,864
What's the backup at the lab?
485
00:22:39,943 --> 00:22:42,343
It's a few days for
the full DNA screen.
486
00:22:42,412 --> 00:22:46,041
In the meantime, track her
movements the day of the murder.
487
00:22:46,483 --> 00:22:49,077
That's her in the
middle, in the white blouse.
488
00:22:49,152 --> 00:22:50,380
The side angle
camera shows her
489
00:22:50,487 --> 00:22:52,318
leaving the bank
a minute later.
490
00:22:52,389 --> 00:22:53,583
Then...
491
00:22:56,226 --> 00:22:57,784
An hour later, she's back.
492
00:22:57,927 --> 00:22:59,519
New blouse
and a purse.
493
00:23:01,264 --> 00:23:02,731
So? She went
shopping at Saks.
494
00:23:02,799 --> 00:23:05,097
She went shopping at Mom's.
495
00:23:05,168 --> 00:23:09,002
We showed a still of the tape to
Christine's neighbor, Craig Holland.
496
00:23:09,072 --> 00:23:11,096
He said she owned
a purse just like it.
497
00:23:11,173 --> 00:23:13,300
It's missing
from her apartment.
498
00:23:14,276 --> 00:23:15,334
Who's he?
499
00:23:15,411 --> 00:23:18,107
Grant Silverman.
A loan officer.
500
00:23:18,180 --> 00:23:19,807
The rumor around
the coffee machine
501
00:23:19,882 --> 00:23:23,010
is that he's been stamping her
bankbook for the past few months.
502
00:23:23,085 --> 00:23:27,078
The other camera shows him
leaving the bank at 4:00 with the purse.
503
00:23:27,156 --> 00:23:30,250
I hope I'm not the only one who thinks
there was a white blouse in it.
504
00:23:30,326 --> 00:23:32,760
A white blouse
stained with blood.
505
00:23:34,430 --> 00:23:37,831
Get a search warrant for the
girl's place, and Silverman's.
506
00:23:41,870 --> 00:23:43,531
The time she was
absent from the bank
507
00:23:43,605 --> 00:23:45,197
roughly corresponds
to the timeframe
508
00:23:45,274 --> 00:23:47,674
during which the ME says
the victim was killed,
509
00:23:47,743 --> 00:23:51,179
and we can reasonably assume she
changed blouses to conceal evidence.
510
00:23:51,246 --> 00:23:55,239
Or mustard stains from the deli special.
But I see your point.
511
00:23:57,152 --> 00:23:59,643
You're good for
the Harland premises.
512
00:23:59,822 --> 00:24:01,915
What about the Silverman place?
513
00:24:02,991 --> 00:24:04,925
On what basis?
She gave him the purse, Your Honor.
514
00:24:04,993 --> 00:24:07,484
The inference is obvious.
The blouse was in it.
515
00:24:07,563 --> 00:24:10,726
I must've left my x-ray
glasses in my other suit.
516
00:24:10,966 --> 00:24:13,833
I saw a purse.
I didn't see a blouse.
517
00:24:14,570 --> 00:24:17,437
For all we know, she went home to
change before coming back to work.
518
00:24:17,506 --> 00:24:19,406
Your Honor, the purse
belonged to the victim.
519
00:24:19,475 --> 00:24:21,067
Why else would
Sonja Harland take it
520
00:24:21,143 --> 00:24:22,303
if not to put the blouse in it?
521
00:24:22,378 --> 00:24:25,609
Can you positively identify
the purse from that tape?
522
00:24:25,681 --> 00:24:27,114
Not positively.
It's similar.
523
00:24:27,182 --> 00:24:30,174
Similar to the one
my wife bought at Bendel's.
524
00:24:30,619 --> 00:24:34,055
Your application for the
Silverman premises is denied.
525
00:24:34,423 --> 00:24:35,549
It's been a pleasure.
526
00:24:35,691 --> 00:24:36,817
Same here.
527
00:24:37,893 --> 00:24:42,330
She had a chain letter going with every
children's agency in the tristate area,
528
00:24:42,398 --> 00:24:44,389
starting eight years ago.
529
00:24:44,466 --> 00:24:48,459
Sandinsky, state by state.
They were fruitful, they multiplied.
530
00:24:49,238 --> 00:24:53,140
Letters from detective agencies,
county clerk's offices.
531
00:24:53,275 --> 00:24:55,835
No wonder the post office
has been turning a profit.
532
00:24:55,911 --> 00:24:58,141
She had a dozen light-colored
blouses in her closet.
533
00:24:58,213 --> 00:25:01,979
None with blood-red accents.
This was in her laundry hamper.
534
00:25:02,050 --> 00:25:05,508
This is a size 10.
Sonja Harland's a size six, if that.
535
00:25:06,789 --> 00:25:08,882
You know who was a size 10?
536
00:25:16,498 --> 00:25:17,829
Excuse me.
537
00:25:18,734 --> 00:25:22,033
Miss Harland, you mind coming
out from behind there?
538
00:25:23,906 --> 00:25:26,739
Don't make me come
back there and get you.
539
00:25:28,310 --> 00:25:30,938
Excuse me.
Someone else will help you.
540
00:25:32,514 --> 00:25:34,141
Grant Silverman?
Yes?
541
00:25:34,216 --> 00:25:35,205
I'm Detective Briscoe.
542
00:25:35,284 --> 00:25:38,378
We'd like you to come down
to the 27th precinct.
543
00:25:41,123 --> 00:25:42,784
Are you arresting me?
544
00:25:42,858 --> 00:25:44,519
No, but we need to talk to you.
545
00:25:44,827 --> 00:25:46,192
About what?
546
00:25:47,062 --> 00:25:48,154
This.
547
00:25:49,331 --> 00:25:50,730
Sonja Harland,
you're under arrest
548
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:51,823
for the murder of
Christine Sandler.
549
00:25:51,900 --> 00:25:54,061
You have the right to remain silent.
Mr. Silverman?
550
00:25:54,136 --> 00:25:56,696
Anything you say can and will
be used against you in a court of law.
551
00:25:56,772 --> 00:25:58,330
Uh, yes. Let me
get my coat.
552
00:25:58,407 --> 00:26:00,204
You have
the right to an attorney.
553
00:26:00,275 --> 00:26:03,005
It was gym clothes.
They were drenched in sweat.
554
00:26:03,078 --> 00:26:05,546
She was working late.
She wanted me to take them home.
555
00:26:05,614 --> 00:26:07,081
Did you see what was inside?
556
00:26:07,216 --> 00:26:08,683
No. She told me.
557
00:26:09,918 --> 00:26:12,716
So, she went to the gym
during lunch, is that it?
558
00:26:12,788 --> 00:26:15,154
Maybe she went in the
morning on her way to work.
559
00:26:15,224 --> 00:26:16,851
I don't know.
You don't know?
560
00:26:16,925 --> 00:26:18,620
You don't sound very close.
561
00:26:18,694 --> 00:26:22,755
Well, we're not planning on getting
married or anything like that.
562
00:26:23,265 --> 00:26:24,994
Well, what did she do
with the purse later?
563
00:26:25,067 --> 00:26:26,227
I don't know.
564
00:26:26,301 --> 00:26:27,700
Again with "I don't know."
565
00:26:27,769 --> 00:26:29,703
Look, if I thought
that that bag
566
00:26:29,771 --> 00:26:31,204
had something to
do with a murder,
567
00:26:31,273 --> 00:26:32,934
do you think I'd be stupid
enough to take it from her
568
00:26:33,008 --> 00:26:34,873
in front of a security camera?
569
00:26:34,943 --> 00:26:38,310
Doesn't look to us like she
gave you much of a choice.
570
00:26:38,380 --> 00:26:41,577
This doesn't prove anything.
I went shopping.
571
00:26:41,783 --> 00:26:44,115
I found something on sale.
I felt like wearing it.
572
00:26:44,186 --> 00:26:46,086
We found that blouse
in your apartment.
573
00:26:46,154 --> 00:26:47,178
You were in my apartment?
574
00:26:47,256 --> 00:26:48,951
It was a size 10.
575
00:26:49,024 --> 00:26:50,924
Are you planning
to put on weight?
576
00:26:51,059 --> 00:26:52,993
That's not the same blouse.
577
00:26:53,328 --> 00:26:57,059
That blouse was a gift from my mother.
She didn't want it anymore.
578
00:26:57,132 --> 00:26:58,827
What about this purse?
579
00:26:58,901 --> 00:26:59,925
She gave me that, too.
580
00:27:00,002 --> 00:27:02,368
She didn't want it anymore?
That's right.
581
00:27:02,437 --> 00:27:04,200
What she didn't want was you.
582
00:27:04,339 --> 00:27:06,102
That's not true.
She was glad I found her.
583
00:27:06,174 --> 00:27:08,233
She gave you money to
go away, didn't she?
584
00:27:08,310 --> 00:27:10,744
No. - It must've
been very painful.
585
00:27:10,913 --> 00:27:12,244
Being tossed back twice.
586
00:27:12,314 --> 00:27:14,339
Mothers are supposed
to love their daughters.
587
00:27:14,416 --> 00:27:15,405
You had to be angry...
588
00:27:15,484 --> 00:27:17,384
No, she did love me!
589
00:27:17,452 --> 00:27:19,317
Let me explain
something to you.
590
00:27:19,388 --> 00:27:23,188
There's maybe a dozen reasons why
your girlfriend killed her mother.
591
00:27:23,258 --> 00:27:25,818
Some of them could get her
a few years in jail,
592
00:27:25,894 --> 00:27:30,422
some could get her life.
Now, you can help her. And yourself.
593
00:27:32,100 --> 00:27:35,263
See, this picture doesn't
make you look too good.
594
00:27:37,439 --> 00:27:40,169
I mean, you're not
under arrest, but that,
595
00:27:40,242 --> 00:27:42,710
that could
change in a second.
596
00:27:43,478 --> 00:27:47,608
You're gonna make a very sympathetic
defendant, Miss Harland,
597
00:27:47,683 --> 00:27:50,982
but they will convict you.
Now, if you'd give us a statement,
598
00:27:51,053 --> 00:27:54,318
I'm sure the D.A.
Can be persuaded to go easy on you.
599
00:27:54,856 --> 00:27:56,016
And Mr. Silverman.
600
00:27:56,091 --> 00:27:57,615
I'd jump on it, Sonja.
601
00:27:57,693 --> 00:28:00,526
The D.A. S haven't been
very generous lately.
602
00:28:02,564 --> 00:28:04,225
I want to talk to my lawyer.
603
00:28:04,299 --> 00:28:06,267
If that's the way you want to go...
I want my lawyer.
604
00:28:06,335 --> 00:28:08,303
Give me his number,
I'll call him.
605
00:28:08,637 --> 00:28:10,605
You've got him down the hall.
606
00:28:14,977 --> 00:28:18,140
I swear to God, I did not
know what was in there.
607
00:28:18,513 --> 00:28:20,242
She never told you?
608
00:28:21,049 --> 00:28:22,641
Not at the bank.
609
00:28:23,151 --> 00:28:24,277
Um...
610
00:28:27,522 --> 00:28:29,820
When I went home,
I looked in the bag.
611
00:28:29,891 --> 00:28:32,951
It was her blouse,
and it was covered in blood.
612
00:28:33,595 --> 00:28:35,620
What did she say about it?
613
00:28:36,965 --> 00:28:38,762
She said her mother
had an accident.
614
00:28:45,741 --> 00:28:48,232
Did he tell you
he was her attorney?
615
00:28:48,877 --> 00:28:50,811
Him? No.
616
00:28:52,748 --> 00:28:55,080
Mr. Silverman,
are you a lawyer?
617
00:28:56,218 --> 00:28:58,982
Yes. I mean, I passed
the bar nine years ago.
618
00:28:59,054 --> 00:29:01,352
But you work as a loan officer?
619
00:29:02,257 --> 00:29:04,555
Yeah, for the last
couple of years. So what?
620
00:29:05,060 --> 00:29:07,392
Are you Miss Harland's
attorney?
621
00:29:13,035 --> 00:29:15,526
Yeah. I represent her.
622
00:29:15,904 --> 00:29:16,893
Mmm-hmm.
623
00:29:17,205 --> 00:29:19,196
She wants to talk to you.
624
00:29:26,915 --> 00:29:28,849
This should make
Albany think twice
625
00:29:28,917 --> 00:29:31,579
about opening up
birth records willy-nilly.
626
00:29:31,653 --> 00:29:34,019
Nine out of 10 kids
find their parents,
627
00:29:34,089 --> 00:29:35,989
say hello, and
get on with their lives.
628
00:29:36,058 --> 00:29:38,754
And we have to deal
with the tenth one.
629
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,053
What do you want first, the
bad news or the worse news?
630
00:29:41,129 --> 00:29:42,187
Work your way up.
631
00:29:42,264 --> 00:29:44,164
Sonja Harland
retained Marjorie Larson.
632
00:29:44,332 --> 00:29:45,731
Good choice.
633
00:29:46,201 --> 00:29:48,794
She'll convince the jury
that Christine Sandler
634
00:29:48,869 --> 00:29:51,599
took parenting lessons
from Susan Smith.
635
00:29:52,306 --> 00:29:54,740
I guess Sonja gave Silverman
his walking papers?
636
00:29:54,809 --> 00:29:56,174
Which brings us
to the other news.
637
00:29:56,243 --> 00:29:59,144
Larson is moving to exclude
everything Silverman told us.
638
00:29:59,213 --> 00:30:03,274
Yeah, sure. Attorney-client privilege.
Good luck.
639
00:30:07,088 --> 00:30:10,649
Grant Silverman graduated from
New York Law School in '88.
640
00:30:10,725 --> 00:30:12,192
He was admitted in
the first department
641
00:30:12,259 --> 00:30:13,692
in the spring of
the following year.
642
00:30:13,761 --> 00:30:17,162
And he stopped paying
his bar dues in 1994.
643
00:30:17,231 --> 00:30:18,721
That's of no consequence,
Your Honor.
644
00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:20,824
Short of disbarment,
he's still an attorney.
645
00:30:20,901 --> 00:30:23,836
And by the way, as of yesterday,
he's current with his dues.
646
00:30:23,904 --> 00:30:25,804
Nice of you to
lend him the money.
647
00:30:25,873 --> 00:30:27,568
Nachman v. Nachman.
648
00:30:27,641 --> 00:30:31,077
The only relevant fact is what
the client believed to be true.
649
00:30:31,145 --> 00:30:33,306
And Miss Harland thought
he was an attorney?
650
00:30:33,380 --> 00:30:35,280
She knew it for a fact.
651
00:30:35,382 --> 00:30:37,873
They were coworkers, Your Honor.
They were lovers.
652
00:30:37,952 --> 00:30:39,852
So she knew he wasn't
a practicing attorney.
653
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,683
Quite the opposite, Miss Ross.
654
00:30:41,756 --> 00:30:43,189
Miss Harland actually benefited
655
00:30:43,257 --> 00:30:44,724
from Mr. Silverman's
legal expertise
656
00:30:44,859 --> 00:30:46,622
in tracking down
her long-lost mother.
657
00:30:46,694 --> 00:30:48,594
This is ridiculous, Your Honor.
658
00:30:48,662 --> 00:30:50,254
If Silverman
thought for a second
659
00:30:50,331 --> 00:30:52,162
that he had
confidential information
660
00:30:52,233 --> 00:30:54,599
he would have kept his mouth
shut from the get-go,
661
00:30:54,668 --> 00:30:56,033
or he would have
told the police
662
00:30:56,103 --> 00:30:58,230
that he was
acting as her attorney.
663
00:30:58,305 --> 00:31:00,569
Unfortunately, he doesn't
have as sophisticated
664
00:31:00,641 --> 00:31:02,074
a legal mind as those present.
665
00:31:02,143 --> 00:31:05,670
It doesn't take a sharp legal
mind to lie to the police.
666
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:10,476
I am sorry, Mr. McCoy.
Whether you or I think this is bootstrapping
667
00:31:10,551 --> 00:31:13,645
or plain old unethical
behavior is irrelevant.
668
00:31:13,721 --> 00:31:16,189
All that matters is what
Sonja Harland thought,
669
00:31:16,257 --> 00:31:18,157
and if she thought
she was communicating to him
670
00:31:18,225 --> 00:31:20,853
as her attorney,
then it's privileged.
671
00:31:23,297 --> 00:31:24,525
Without
Silverman's statement,
672
00:31:24,598 --> 00:31:26,725
the case is all circumstantial.
673
00:31:26,801 --> 00:31:28,735
Even after finding
Sonja Harland's blood
674
00:31:28,803 --> 00:31:30,498
in Christine
Sandler's apartment?
675
00:31:30,571 --> 00:31:33,563
That's a hell of a circumstance
for her lawyer to deal with.
676
00:31:33,641 --> 00:31:36,508
She cut herself helping
Mom bake an apple pie.
677
00:31:36,577 --> 00:31:39,273
Everything points to her, and
everything can be explained away.
678
00:31:39,346 --> 00:31:40,745
Except for one thing.
Motive.
679
00:31:40,815 --> 00:31:42,510
Well, we still
think it's blackmail.
680
00:31:42,583 --> 00:31:44,346
That's why I'm here.
681
00:31:46,053 --> 00:31:48,749
Hey, guys.
Tell me you've got something.
682
00:31:48,823 --> 00:31:52,725
Well, other than the 2,500, the
rest of her money looks legit.
683
00:31:53,093 --> 00:31:55,823
Yeah, and she hasn't been
wearing out the plastic either.
684
00:31:55,896 --> 00:31:58,694
If she got any other money from
Christine, she didn't spend it.
685
00:31:58,766 --> 00:32:00,097
Unless she paid cash.
686
00:32:00,167 --> 00:32:02,431
Well, if she did, we'd know.
I mean, look at this.
687
00:32:02,503 --> 00:32:06,530
Taxi receipts from 1994.
Who keeps taxi receipts?
688
00:32:06,774 --> 00:32:09,038
Same person who keeps
five-year-old Christmas cards.
689
00:32:09,109 --> 00:32:12,670
Check this out.
Old valentines, thank you notes.
690
00:32:13,214 --> 00:32:17,173
Here's a sweet 16 card from her
caseworker at the foster agency.
691
00:32:17,418 --> 00:32:20,080
Looks like Silverman
really was her attorney.
692
00:32:20,154 --> 00:32:22,349
He's been writing
letters to hospitals for her.
693
00:32:22,423 --> 00:32:23,515
Let me see that.
694
00:32:23,591 --> 00:32:25,081
It's dated last month.
695
00:32:25,159 --> 00:32:26,524
"Dear Mr. Silverman,
696
00:32:26,594 --> 00:32:28,562
"We are in receipt of
your letter with regards
697
00:32:28,629 --> 00:32:30,563
"to your inquiry
about tissue biopsy.
698
00:32:30,631 --> 00:32:32,929
"We have referred your letter to St.
Marks Legal Department.
699
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,525
"Please address all further
correspondence to them."
700
00:32:35,603 --> 00:32:37,127
You think
she was sick?
701
00:32:37,204 --> 00:32:38,831
St. Marks, right?
702
00:32:38,906 --> 00:32:42,740
She had a whole collection of
clippings about Harold Lancer.
703
00:32:43,010 --> 00:32:44,477
Lancer?
704
00:32:44,545 --> 00:32:47,446
You know, Profaci worked security
at his funeral last year.
705
00:32:47,514 --> 00:32:49,414
Profaci and the Forbes 400?
706
00:32:49,483 --> 00:32:51,110
And all of them on a boat.
707
00:32:51,185 --> 00:32:53,813
The guy was cremated and sprinkled
over Long Island Sound.
708
00:32:53,888 --> 00:32:55,947
Right, right.
St. Marks Hospital.
709
00:32:56,023 --> 00:32:59,015
That's where Harold Lancer
died from melanoma.
710
00:32:59,493 --> 00:33:01,723
Too many vacations in the sun.
711
00:33:06,901 --> 00:33:10,462
Yes. Mr. Silverman called me a few
days after he got our letter.
712
00:33:10,537 --> 00:33:11,595
What did you talk about?
713
00:33:11,672 --> 00:33:13,037
Well, specifically,
he wanted to know
714
00:33:13,107 --> 00:33:15,905
about the biopsied tissue
taken from Harold Lancer.
715
00:33:15,976 --> 00:33:18,740
What about it?
Whether the tissue had been preserved.
716
00:33:18,812 --> 00:33:19,836
And?
717
00:33:19,914 --> 00:33:23,441
I referred him to the firm representing Mr.
Lancer's estate.
718
00:33:23,517 --> 00:33:27,009
We have to be very careful about
inquiries like Mr. Silverman's.
719
00:33:27,087 --> 00:33:29,521
We never know where the next
lawsuit's going to come from.
720
00:33:29,590 --> 00:33:32,684
You mean, you do actually preserve
tissue from your patients?
721
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,321
That's where our labs get cancer
cells for their research.
722
00:33:36,397 --> 00:33:40,231
When Lancer died, he left an
estate worth nearly $250 million.
723
00:33:40,334 --> 00:33:42,859
I'm ahead of you.
Harold Lancer and Christine Sandler?
724
00:33:42,937 --> 00:33:45,633
Christine apparently told Sonja
she was Lancer's love child.
725
00:33:45,706 --> 00:33:48,937
How convenient for Christine
to say it was a dead man.
726
00:33:49,009 --> 00:33:50,237
Silverman's legal advice?
727
00:33:50,311 --> 00:33:51,642
He was all over this one.
728
00:33:51,712 --> 00:33:54,180
He went and informed the
attorney for Lancer's estate.
729
00:33:54,248 --> 00:33:55,408
Since Lancer was cremated,
730
00:33:55,482 --> 00:33:58,542
the only way to prove paternity
is to test the biopsy tissue.
731
00:33:58,619 --> 00:34:00,246
Lancer didn't have
an ironclad will?
732
00:34:00,321 --> 00:34:02,789
No. He left his entire
estate to a few charities,
733
00:34:02,856 --> 00:34:05,484
his wife and quote, "my
children," end quote.
734
00:34:05,559 --> 00:34:07,789
He didn't specify
his kids' names?
735
00:34:07,861 --> 00:34:10,955
No. Amazing what a poor
choice of words can open up.
736
00:34:11,031 --> 00:34:13,261
The girl had him
up against the wall.
737
00:34:13,334 --> 00:34:16,599
She probably expected them to
throw her a few bucks to go away.
738
00:34:16,670 --> 00:34:19,503
Silverman told them his client
wanted the paternity test.
739
00:34:19,573 --> 00:34:21,973
She was going
for an equal share.
740
00:34:23,077 --> 00:34:25,978
She would've needed her mother's
help to pursue her claim.
741
00:34:26,046 --> 00:34:27,809
Maybe they
couldn't come to terms.
742
00:34:28,248 --> 00:34:29,715
Only three people would know.
743
00:34:29,783 --> 00:34:33,776
One's dead, one won't talk, and
one can't, courtesy of Judge Yee.
744
00:34:35,923 --> 00:34:38,118
When the jury hears
about the $250 million,
745
00:34:38,192 --> 00:34:40,422
they'll draw
their own conclusions.
746
00:34:43,964 --> 00:34:45,989
Through her lawyer,
Grant Silverman,
747
00:34:46,066 --> 00:34:50,002
Sonja Harland contacted me as the
attorney for the Lancer estate.
748
00:34:50,070 --> 00:34:53,403
They claimed Harold Lancer was
Miss Harland's biological father.
749
00:34:53,474 --> 00:34:55,567
What, if anything,
did you reply?
750
00:34:55,642 --> 00:34:58,543
That paternity could only be
determined through a DNA test
751
00:34:58,612 --> 00:35:00,807
of the tissue at
St. Marks hospital.
752
00:35:00,881 --> 00:35:03,042
Did Mr. Silverman
ask you to arrange
753
00:35:03,117 --> 00:35:04,914
for such a test
to be performed?
754
00:35:04,985 --> 00:35:08,614
Yes, but if we acquiesced, we'd
be opening the floodgates.
755
00:35:09,123 --> 00:35:11,785
Fortunately, the law provides
that no test be granted
756
00:35:11,859 --> 00:35:14,657
without a viable
legal basis for a claim.
757
00:35:14,895 --> 00:35:16,419
Can you give us an example?
758
00:35:16,497 --> 00:35:19,022
I'll tell you what
I told Mr. Silverman.
759
00:35:19,099 --> 00:35:22,466
The estate requested an affidavit
from the biological mother
760
00:35:22,536 --> 00:35:24,731
as to the details
of conception.
761
00:35:24,805 --> 00:35:27,672
Did you ever receive such an
affidavit from Mr. Silverman?
762
00:35:27,741 --> 00:35:30,039
No. I never
heard from him again.
763
00:35:30,210 --> 00:35:31,643
Thank you.
764
00:35:34,948 --> 00:35:36,415
Mr. Arbitman,
765
00:35:37,284 --> 00:35:39,980
wouldn't it be stupid
to kill the only person
766
00:35:40,054 --> 00:35:42,352
who could provide the legal
basis for your claim?
767
00:35:42,423 --> 00:35:43,651
Objection.
768
00:35:44,024 --> 00:35:45,286
I withdraw the question.
769
00:35:47,327 --> 00:35:51,058
Mr. Arbitman, how many heirs did Mr.
Lancer have?
770
00:35:51,765 --> 00:35:53,392
Legitimate heirs?
771
00:35:53,634 --> 00:35:54,692
Yes.
772
00:35:54,768 --> 00:35:57,464
He left two adult
children and a widow.
773
00:35:58,172 --> 00:36:01,437
And if Christine Sandler
had provided an affidavit,
774
00:36:02,209 --> 00:36:03,699
by how much would
Miss Harland's claim
775
00:36:03,777 --> 00:36:06,302
have reduced their
share of the estate?
776
00:36:06,380 --> 00:36:07,904
If the claim was successful?
777
00:36:07,981 --> 00:36:09,209
Of course.
778
00:36:09,283 --> 00:36:10,875
$53 million.
779
00:36:10,951 --> 00:36:13,283
Were the legitimate
heirs aware of that?
780
00:36:13,353 --> 00:36:14,980
Yes. I told them.
781
00:36:15,155 --> 00:36:18,249
Please tell the court
how they took to the news.
782
00:36:18,358 --> 00:36:19,552
They were less than thrilled.
783
00:36:20,727 --> 00:36:23,821
They must've been relieved when
Christine Sandler was found dead.
784
00:36:23,897 --> 00:36:25,023
Objection.
785
00:36:25,099 --> 00:36:27,225
Withdrawn.
Thank you, Mr. Arbitman.
786
00:36:29,469 --> 00:36:32,029
Well, of course I wanted
to know who my father was,
787
00:36:32,105 --> 00:36:34,699
but it was easier
to trace my mother.
788
00:36:35,241 --> 00:36:38,540
And when did you find out who
your biological father was?
789
00:36:38,611 --> 00:36:42,445
My mother finally told me, and
she told me exactly who he was.
790
00:36:43,416 --> 00:36:44,974
And how soon after
that did you decide
791
00:36:45,051 --> 00:36:47,178
to pursue a claim
against the estate?
792
00:36:47,253 --> 00:36:48,481
Maybe a week.
793
00:36:48,554 --> 00:36:49,851
And whose
idea was that?
794
00:36:50,389 --> 00:36:51,788
My mother's.
795
00:36:52,258 --> 00:36:56,592
She said that I was entitled to
something, after all I've been through.
796
00:36:56,929 --> 00:36:59,056
Did she know that she'd
have to sign an affidavit
797
00:36:59,132 --> 00:37:00,224
in order for you to prevail?
798
00:37:00,299 --> 00:37:01,459
Yes.
799
00:37:02,268 --> 00:37:05,465
She wanted to tell her son
Douglas about me first.
800
00:37:07,173 --> 00:37:09,073
She would've signed it.
801
00:37:09,842 --> 00:37:14,006
She would've done anything to help
me, if someone hadn't killed her.
802
00:37:16,282 --> 00:37:19,046
Thank you, Sonja.
Your witness.
803
00:37:25,358 --> 00:37:27,326
I'm sure everyone
in this courtroom
804
00:37:27,393 --> 00:37:31,090
understands the hardship you've
been through, Miss Harland.
805
00:37:31,697 --> 00:37:32,857
Hasn't been easy.
806
00:37:33,199 --> 00:37:34,393
I bet it hasn't.
807
00:37:37,136 --> 00:37:39,263
Miss Harland, were you aware
808
00:37:40,006 --> 00:37:44,409
that once Mr. Lancer's will was
probated and the assets distributed,
809
00:37:44,477 --> 00:37:47,071
it would be near impossible
for you to win your claim,
810
00:37:47,146 --> 00:37:49,376
with or without the affidavit?
811
00:37:50,583 --> 00:37:53,518
Mr. Silverman told
you that, didn't he?
812
00:37:54,220 --> 00:37:57,212
Yes. He said we had
a few months left.
813
00:37:58,357 --> 00:38:00,621
You were getting impatient.
No.
814
00:38:00,693 --> 00:38:03,184
It had been two weeks
since you'd been told
815
00:38:03,262 --> 00:38:04,559
that you needed the affidavit.
816
00:38:04,630 --> 00:38:06,825
Why hadn't your
mother signed it yet?
817
00:38:06,899 --> 00:38:09,800
I told you, she was working
up to telling her son.
818
00:38:09,869 --> 00:38:12,303
How long were you
willing to wait?
819
00:38:13,973 --> 00:38:15,600
It was up to her.
820
00:38:18,611 --> 00:38:20,476
If she didn't sign it,
821
00:38:21,147 --> 00:38:24,082
you were ready to walk away
from $50 million?
822
00:38:24,350 --> 00:38:28,013
First of all, as my lawyer,
Mr. Silverman gets a third,
823
00:38:28,087 --> 00:38:32,490
and I would've been happy to
have given some to my mother,
824
00:38:33,826 --> 00:38:38,058
and yes, if I had to,
I was ready to walk away,
825
00:38:38,130 --> 00:38:40,325
but there was no reason
why she wouldn't sign.
826
00:38:40,399 --> 00:38:42,128
I can think of two.
827
00:38:42,602 --> 00:38:46,766
She didn't want to alienate her
son, or she asked for more money
828
00:38:46,839 --> 00:38:48,534
than you were willing to pay.
That's not true.
829
00:38:48,608 --> 00:38:51,634
That's what you argued about
that afternoon, isn't it?
830
00:38:51,711 --> 00:38:54,009
No. You went to see
your mother that day
831
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,174
to get her signature on that
piece of paper, no matter what.
832
00:38:57,250 --> 00:38:58,945
No.
She refused,
833
00:38:59,018 --> 00:39:02,181
so you became enraged and so you
killed her, isn't that right?
834
00:39:02,255 --> 00:39:04,280
No. My mother loved me!
835
00:39:05,992 --> 00:39:07,050
How?
836
00:39:08,594 --> 00:39:10,494
You were nothing to her.
You were an accident.
837
00:39:10,563 --> 00:39:12,155
No. Stop.
838
00:39:12,231 --> 00:39:15,257
She loved her son. Not you.
839
00:39:16,669 --> 00:39:18,534
Your Honor, this is cruel.
840
00:39:18,604 --> 00:39:20,037
Mr. McCoy.
841
00:39:26,912 --> 00:39:28,539
She's performing, Your Honor.
842
00:39:28,614 --> 00:39:30,741
The jury will disregard that.
843
00:39:31,083 --> 00:39:34,519
Mr. McCoy, if you have any
actual questions, ask them.
844
00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:37,348
Otherwise...
I'm through, Your Honor.
845
00:39:41,894 --> 00:39:43,885
Nice going.
You made her cry.
846
00:39:43,963 --> 00:39:46,864
That should win you points
in the jury room.
847
00:39:47,333 --> 00:39:48,425
Sure.
848
00:39:49,001 --> 00:39:52,300
She had a rotten childhood
and I feel sorry for her.
849
00:39:52,405 --> 00:39:55,238
If she hadn't left her mother
to bleed to death on the floor,
850
00:39:55,308 --> 00:39:57,139
I'd give her a big hug.
851
00:39:57,209 --> 00:39:58,904
She's a fraud.
Yep.
852
00:39:58,978 --> 00:40:01,640
You know it, she knows it.
Doesn't do you any good.
853
00:40:01,714 --> 00:40:04,080
You forgot Silverman.
I almost feel sorry for him.
854
00:40:04,183 --> 00:40:07,914
He was one signature away from
collecting a $17-million fee.
855
00:40:08,054 --> 00:40:10,921
I wonder what he thinks
of his girlfriend now?
856
00:40:10,990 --> 00:40:13,686
Even if he wanted
to tell us, he can't.
857
00:40:14,327 --> 00:40:17,296
What's the exception
to attorney-client privilege?
858
00:40:17,363 --> 00:40:21,094
The communication took place in
front of a third party or...
859
00:40:21,734 --> 00:40:24,168
The lawyer was
an accomplice to his client.
860
00:40:24,236 --> 00:40:26,636
Right. Silverman
conspired with the girl?
861
00:40:26,706 --> 00:40:28,731
How you gonna prove that?
862
00:40:29,542 --> 00:40:33,000
He's gonna help us. Call the police.
Have him arrested.
863
00:40:37,950 --> 00:40:41,818
Mr. McCoy, I don't know where you
came up with this murder charge.
864
00:40:41,887 --> 00:40:42,876
It's ludicrous.
865
00:40:42,955 --> 00:40:44,422
Your client had
a vested interest
866
00:40:44,490 --> 00:40:46,958
in having Christine Sandler
sign that affidavit.
867
00:40:47,026 --> 00:40:48,584
Sonja told him she was
gonna get her signature
868
00:40:48,661 --> 00:40:50,686
by whatever means
necessary, even force.
869
00:40:50,763 --> 00:40:53,231
He did nothing to stop her,
and after she killed Sandler,
870
00:40:53,299 --> 00:40:55,233
he helped dispose
of the evidence.
871
00:40:55,301 --> 00:40:57,735
The more I hear it,
the better it sounds.
872
00:40:57,803 --> 00:41:00,670
At minimum, it's attempted
grand larceny.
873
00:41:01,407 --> 00:41:03,932
Sonja never told me anything of the sort.
Grant, please.
874
00:41:04,009 --> 00:41:06,842
Mr. McCoy, I assume
you have some evidence.
875
00:41:07,346 --> 00:41:09,871
He's going to testify to it
at Miss Harland's trial.
876
00:41:09,949 --> 00:41:11,041
What?
877
00:41:12,618 --> 00:41:15,212
Even if it were true,
which it isn't,
878
00:41:15,588 --> 00:41:17,215
why would I do something
as stupid as that?
879
00:41:17,289 --> 00:41:20,315
I can think of 17
million reasons why.
880
00:41:20,860 --> 00:41:21,884
What're you talking about?
881
00:41:21,961 --> 00:41:26,022
Your contingency fee if Sonja gets
her share of the Lancer estate.
882
00:41:26,332 --> 00:41:29,893
Our theory of the crime
is based on the belief
883
00:41:30,369 --> 00:41:33,304
that she is Harold
Lancer's daughter.
884
00:41:33,372 --> 00:41:34,737
As soon as she's
convicted of murder,
885
00:41:34,807 --> 00:41:38,436
that belief becomes fact, as far
as New York state is concerned.
886
00:41:38,511 --> 00:41:40,138
Her conviction would
provide the legal basis
887
00:41:40,212 --> 00:41:41,804
you need for her
paternity test.
888
00:41:41,881 --> 00:41:44,281
You get your money,
we get our conviction.
889
00:41:44,350 --> 00:41:47,410
One problem.
There's not much to buy in Attica.
890
00:41:48,087 --> 00:41:51,614
I'd let him plead to misdemeanor,
attempted grand larceny.
891
00:41:51,690 --> 00:41:53,487
Five years probation.
892
00:41:54,393 --> 00:41:58,227
He could still practice law in
his spare time if he wanted to.
893
00:42:03,169 --> 00:42:04,796
Give us a minute.
894
00:42:06,272 --> 00:42:10,265
All this time, I thought it was
defense attorneys who were sleazy.
895
00:42:10,342 --> 00:42:12,367
It's buying his testimony.
896
00:42:13,779 --> 00:42:15,713
I just motivated
him to tell the truth.
897
00:42:26,091 --> 00:42:28,491
Against my advice,
Mr. Silverman
898
00:42:28,561 --> 00:42:30,620
wants to take you
up on your offer.
899
00:42:36,068 --> 00:42:40,471
Sonja's mother had no idea what she's
like when she doesn't get her way.
900
00:42:42,141 --> 00:42:44,473
She had so much
hate inside her.
901
00:42:47,713 --> 00:42:50,876
Her mother should've just
signed the damn papers.
902
00:42:53,953 --> 00:42:57,252
It's very interesting.
And it's still privileged.
903
00:42:57,323 --> 00:42:59,484
No way a jury hears any of it.
904
00:42:59,558 --> 00:43:03,357
He stopped being her attorney the
minute he helped her destroy evidence.
905
00:43:03,428 --> 00:43:06,693
That's what he says.
My client sees it differently.
906
00:43:06,798 --> 00:43:09,926
The only thing that matters
is how Judge Yee sees it.
907
00:43:10,001 --> 00:43:11,628
That stupid weakling!
908
00:43:11,703 --> 00:43:12,727
Sonja.
909
00:43:14,205 --> 00:43:15,832
What's the offer?
910
00:43:16,140 --> 00:43:18,608
Man one, 12-and-a-half-to-25.
911
00:43:18,776 --> 00:43:20,403
Man two.
912
00:43:20,478 --> 00:43:24,175
Go home, Marjorie.
Start preparing your cross of Mr. Silverman.
913
00:43:24,249 --> 00:43:25,341
Wait.
914
00:43:30,855 --> 00:43:31,981
Sold.
915
00:43:35,927 --> 00:43:38,054
What happened, Miss Harland?
916
00:43:41,199 --> 00:43:45,602
She wouldn't sign the paper.
She wouldn't give me a reason.
917
00:43:46,204 --> 00:43:48,263
That's why you killed her?
918
00:43:53,278 --> 00:43:54,540
Then why?
919
00:44:00,885 --> 00:44:04,252
When I was in foster care,
no one wanted to adopt me.
920
00:44:05,557 --> 00:44:08,856
People were afraid I inherited
my mother's epilepsy.
921
00:44:10,562 --> 00:44:13,395
It wasn't my fault.
People didn't want me.
922
00:44:17,602 --> 00:44:21,163
She finally told me that
afternoon why she wouldn't sign.
923
00:44:23,708 --> 00:44:26,438
She was a call girl
when she met Lancer.
924
00:44:27,512 --> 00:44:29,241
That's how she
supported herself,
925
00:44:29,314 --> 00:44:31,748
before her
modeling career took off.
926
00:44:33,184 --> 00:44:36,381
She was an 18-year-old
hooker who got knocked up.
927
00:44:40,925 --> 00:44:43,120
She thought she'd
gotten rid of me for good.
928
00:44:44,495 --> 00:44:48,192
She was afraid everyone would
find out, especially Douglas.
929
00:44:50,134 --> 00:44:53,035
I even told her there was
enough money for everyone.
930
00:44:53,104 --> 00:44:54,696
She didn't care.
931
00:44:55,807 --> 00:45:00,244
Can you imagine?
Dangling all that money in front of me,
932
00:45:00,311 --> 00:45:02,836
and not lifting
a finger to help me?
933
00:45:03,982 --> 00:45:06,712
So you hit her.
She wanted me to leave.
934
00:45:09,153 --> 00:45:10,916
It was her birthday.
935
00:45:12,657 --> 00:45:16,787
Her friend Craig was making her dinner.
Of course, I couldn't come.
936
00:45:16,861 --> 00:45:19,728
But Douglas, he was invited.
937
00:45:21,799 --> 00:45:24,324
He walked out on her
to live with his father,
938
00:45:24,402 --> 00:45:26,893
but that's who she wanted.
Him! Not me!
939
00:45:29,641 --> 00:45:31,006
That bitch.
940
00:45:43,755 --> 00:45:45,950
Silverman got
the paternity test.
941
00:45:46,090 --> 00:45:48,320
Turns out Sonja Harland
was Lancer's kid.
942
00:45:48,626 --> 00:45:50,617
She gets her $50 million.
943
00:45:52,630 --> 00:45:53,722
Good for her.
944
00:45:53,798 --> 00:45:56,426
And Silverman collects
his $17-million fee.
945
00:45:57,402 --> 00:46:00,462
No wonder everybody hates
the legal profession.
946
00:46:03,808 --> 00:46:06,242
Make sure Douglas Burke
gets a full transcript
947
00:46:06,310 --> 00:46:08,540
of Sonja Harland's allocution.
948
00:46:10,314 --> 00:46:11,781
This way there'll be
something to collect
949
00:46:11,849 --> 00:46:14,909
when he sues her
and Mr. Silverman
950
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,852
for his mother's
wrongful death.
951
00:46:20,892 --> 00:46:22,120
Lawyers.
