Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:07,566
NARRATOR: In the
criminal justice system
2
00:00:07,808 --> 00:00:11,404
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:11,778 --> 00:00:13,406
the police who investigate crime
4
00:00:13,647 --> 00:00:16,082
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:16,517 --> 00:00:17,678
These are their stories.
6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,264
TERRY: Trade you straight
up, the adults for the kids.
7
00:00:21,288 --> 00:00:23,099
You can't just change your
mind at the last minute, Terry.
8
00:00:23,123 --> 00:00:24,267
It screws up the whole schedule.
9
00:00:24,291 --> 00:00:26,291
Little snots can't even
grip their little racquets.
10
00:00:26,493 --> 00:00:28,792
Puny serves and their
teeny, tiny attention spans.
11
00:00:29,196 --> 00:00:30,129
C'mon, man, I'm begging you.
12
00:00:30,197 --> 00:00:31,460
Put me out of my misery. No.
13
00:00:31,865 --> 00:00:33,176
Switch with me, or
I'll take to drinking
14
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,692
and end up like this dude,
sleeping it off on some park bench.
15
00:00:35,769 --> 00:00:37,169
It's a woman.
16
00:00:37,237 --> 00:00:39,229
Look at her hair, that's
blood. I don't know CPR.
17
00:00:40,674 --> 00:00:41,674
Doesn't matter.
18
00:00:43,076 --> 00:00:45,568
The back of her head's
bashed in. Skull's fractured.
19
00:00:45,779 --> 00:00:47,042
Looks like multiple blows.
20
00:00:47,314 --> 00:00:48,748
Somebody was mad at this lady.
21
00:00:48,815 --> 00:00:49,935
Any sign of a murder weapon?
22
00:00:50,484 --> 00:00:53,181
Yeah. Found a blood-drenched
cane under the bench.
23
00:00:53,287 --> 00:00:54,619
BRISCOE: Nice walking stick.
24
00:00:55,622 --> 00:00:56,681
It's a rabbit.
25
00:00:56,757 --> 00:00:58,157
Yeah. With green eyes.
26
00:00:58,325 --> 00:01:00,521
My guess? You're looking
for a killer with a limp.
27
00:01:00,861 --> 00:01:02,727
Hey, Cantor, you
focus on the bodies,
28
00:01:02,796 --> 00:01:04,788
we'll solve the crimes,
all right? No problem.
29
00:01:04,865 --> 00:01:05,889
You got a time of death?
30
00:01:05,966 --> 00:01:09,494
Judging from lividity, body temp,
air temp, insect activity, dew point,
31
00:01:09,570 --> 00:01:11,562
and because I'm
very good at my job.
32
00:01:12,205 --> 00:01:14,050
I'd say somewhere between
8:00 and 10:00 last night.
33
00:01:14,074 --> 00:01:15,542
Any ID? No.
34
00:01:15,609 --> 00:01:17,202
No purse. Maybe she was mugged.
35
00:01:17,411 --> 00:01:18,811
Hey, what did I say before?
36
00:01:19,546 --> 00:01:20,707
Leave the theorizing to you.
37
00:01:24,751 --> 00:01:25,912
For your book of memories.
38
00:02:15,268 --> 00:02:18,534
Cause of death was intracranial
bleeding from blunt force trauma.
39
00:02:18,872 --> 00:02:21,317
Yeah. We found a walking stick
at the scene, covered with blood.
40
00:02:21,341 --> 00:02:22,341
The weapon?
41
00:02:22,409 --> 00:02:23,843
Forensics is working it up now.
42
00:02:24,411 --> 00:02:25,606
No, it must have been hers.
43
00:02:26,613 --> 00:02:27,774
Yeah. See that?
44
00:02:28,181 --> 00:02:29,274
Titanium.
45
00:02:29,483 --> 00:02:30,644
She'd had a hip replacement,
46
00:02:30,717 --> 00:02:32,310
probably within
the last year or so.
47
00:02:32,586 --> 00:02:35,522
Damn. She got beat to death
with her own cane. That's cold.
48
00:02:36,089 --> 00:02:37,648
She'd also had an oophorectomy.
49
00:02:38,425 --> 00:02:39,723
She had her oophers removed?
50
00:02:40,193 --> 00:02:41,422
Her ovaries.
51
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:44,222
By the way, I don't know
how CSU missed this.
52
00:02:44,297 --> 00:02:47,392
But we found her keys and her
cell phone in an inside pocket.
53
00:02:47,601 --> 00:02:50,002
These crime scene
guys are highly over-rated.
54
00:02:50,170 --> 00:02:51,900
Problem is, they all
think they're cops.
55
00:02:53,540 --> 00:02:55,270
What are you doing?
Checking her menu.
56
00:02:56,043 --> 00:02:58,643
Oh, if you're ordering coffee,
I'll take one dark with two sugars.
57
00:02:58,745 --> 00:02:59,804
GREEN: Here we go, work.
58
00:03:01,014 --> 00:03:03,214
Hello to you, too. Can you
tell me where you're located?
59
00:03:05,318 --> 00:03:07,253
Okay. Thank you.
Where are we going?
60
00:03:07,521 --> 00:03:09,547
The Knowles School,
East 87th Street.
61
00:03:11,391 --> 00:03:14,987
BRISCOE: Tots in town
cars, nannies of all nations.
62
00:03:15,262 --> 00:03:16,457
Just like my grade school.
63
00:03:16,596 --> 00:03:18,408
GREEN: I can see you
now, a juvenile delinquent.
64
00:03:18,432 --> 00:03:21,027
Black leather jacket,
greasy Vaseline hairdo.
65
00:03:21,101 --> 00:03:23,570
Oh, Brylcreem. "A
little dab will do ya."
66
00:03:25,105 --> 00:03:28,145
GREEN: The phone company said that
this cell phone was billed to this school.
67
00:03:28,308 --> 00:03:29,833
We issue them to our staff.
68
00:03:30,243 --> 00:03:31,438
Thanks for returning it.
69
00:03:32,746 --> 00:03:34,942
This number
belongs to Dr. Landon.
70
00:03:35,716 --> 00:03:36,877
Where'd you find it?
71
00:03:37,250 --> 00:03:38,513
In the park.
72
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,349
Is this Dr. Landon?
73
00:03:42,989 --> 00:03:44,958
My Lord, what happened to her?
74
00:03:45,325 --> 00:03:47,226
She was murdered.
Sometime last night.
75
00:03:48,295 --> 00:03:49,295
Oh, my God.
76
00:03:49,396 --> 00:03:50,596
GREEN: Was she a teacher here?
77
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:52,665
Director of Admissions.
78
00:03:52,999 --> 00:03:54,627
We need to contact
her next of kin.
79
00:03:55,702 --> 00:03:58,866
Perhaps you'd better speak to
Mr. Scofield, the headmaster.
80
00:04:00,006 --> 00:04:02,066
Debra taught kindergarten
here for 10 years.
81
00:04:02,142 --> 00:04:03,576
She was a fantastic teacher.
82
00:04:04,144 --> 00:04:05,407
She made it look easy.
83
00:04:05,712 --> 00:04:07,010
Well, all the good ones do.
84
00:04:07,814 --> 00:04:09,783
I thought she was the
Director of Admissions?
85
00:04:09,983 --> 00:04:11,611
She had an accident
on her summer break.
86
00:04:11,685 --> 00:04:13,677
She was hit by a motorbike
and shattered her hip.
87
00:04:14,221 --> 00:04:17,658
When she came back last fall
we offered her the admissions job.
88
00:04:17,758 --> 00:04:19,283
We thought it would
be easier, but...
89
00:04:19,392 --> 00:04:20,416
It wasn't?
90
00:04:20,494 --> 00:04:21,974
Admissions makes
teaching kindergarten
91
00:04:22,028 --> 00:04:23,291
look like a day at the beach.
92
00:04:23,363 --> 00:04:25,559
The parents can
be rather zealous,
93
00:04:25,632 --> 00:04:27,498
shall we say, in
pursuit of their goal.
94
00:04:28,969 --> 00:04:30,232
It sounds stressful.
95
00:04:30,303 --> 00:04:32,543
She handled it with aplomb,
like everything else she did.
96
00:04:32,939 --> 00:04:34,271
She was an amazing woman.
97
00:04:35,142 --> 00:04:37,373
She'll be missed. Sounds
like you knew her pretty well?
98
00:04:37,744 --> 00:04:39,744
Well, not socially, if
that's what you're implying.
99
00:04:40,213 --> 00:04:42,808
BRISCOE: We have to
ask. Strictly colleagues.
100
00:04:43,416 --> 00:04:45,695
Is there anything you can tell
us about her family or friends?
101
00:04:45,719 --> 00:04:47,278
Well, her parents were deceased.
102
00:04:48,288 --> 00:04:50,450
As far as I know she had
no other immediate family.
103
00:04:50,690 --> 00:04:51,890
So there's nobody we can call?
104
00:04:52,192 --> 00:04:53,192
We were her family.
105
00:04:54,027 --> 00:04:55,787
I don't know anything
about her private life.
106
00:04:56,730 --> 00:04:57,925
So that's it?
107
00:04:58,031 --> 00:04:59,727
At Knowles, we eschew gossip.
108
00:04:59,833 --> 00:05:02,029
And place a premium on privacy.
109
00:05:02,502 --> 00:05:05,301
What about her address?
Or is that confidential, too?
110
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:08,632
Of course not. When Debra
became admissions director,
111
00:05:08,975 --> 00:05:11,535
she moved into the carriage
house on the grounds.
112
00:05:13,413 --> 00:05:14,972
I saw her on the
street last night,
113
00:05:15,215 --> 00:05:17,184
heading toward Fifth
Avenue and the park.
114
00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:18,261
GREEN: What time was that?
115
00:05:18,285 --> 00:05:19,947
8:30, quarter of 9:00.
116
00:05:20,387 --> 00:05:21,855
She always leaves the radio on?
117
00:05:22,355 --> 00:05:23,355
No, sir.
118
00:05:23,490 --> 00:05:25,618
Here's her purse. Wallet.
119
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,989
Cash is still here.
120
00:05:28,228 --> 00:05:30,228
Looks like she might have
gone out to meet somebody
121
00:05:30,297 --> 00:05:31,765
and expected to come right back.
122
00:05:31,932 --> 00:05:33,764
She ever have any
visitors? BOLGER: Here?
123
00:05:33,934 --> 00:05:34,958
Never saw any suitors.
124
00:05:35,035 --> 00:05:36,312
No, sir, if that's
what you mean.
125
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:37,616
Lived here like
it was a nunnery.
126
00:05:37,838 --> 00:05:40,171
Not that I'm suggesting she
was a nun, you understand.
127
00:05:40,373 --> 00:05:41,568
What are you suggesting?
128
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:43,741
She had great respect
for the school, sir.
129
00:05:43,944 --> 00:05:45,588
She wouldn't have
entertained gentlemen callers
130
00:05:45,612 --> 00:05:47,308
on the premises.
If you get my drift?
131
00:05:47,380 --> 00:05:49,406
Yeah. We do.
Thank you very much.
132
00:05:49,683 --> 00:05:52,448
Take your time. Hope you
catch the bastard who did it.
133
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,122
Oh, palm pilot by the
answering machine.
134
00:05:57,257 --> 00:06:00,125
She was an opera
lover. La Boheme.
135
00:06:00,393 --> 00:06:02,487
Oh, you don't have to love
opera to love La Boheme.
136
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:03,790
It's a Broadway play, bro.
137
00:06:03,864 --> 00:06:06,925
At 100 bucks a pop?
On a teacher's pay?
138
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,161
Maybe it wasn't her hundred.
139
00:06:08,568 --> 00:06:11,060
Well, let's see if we
can trace the ticket.
140
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:14,335
Oh, here's
something I recognize.
141
00:06:14,774 --> 00:06:16,538
A maintenance check. Hmm?
142
00:06:16,977 --> 00:06:18,912
That's a euphemism for alimony.
143
00:06:19,379 --> 00:06:20,574
Oh, who knew?
144
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:21,909
Yeah, you're lucky.
145
00:06:22,249 --> 00:06:24,411
I guess that gets
the ex off the hook.
146
00:06:24,551 --> 00:06:25,644
Speaking of lucky.
147
00:06:25,852 --> 00:06:27,411
Some people are born lucky.
148
00:06:27,921 --> 00:06:29,253
Some people make their own luck.
149
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:36,757
Am I happy to stop paying
alimony? Sure. Who wouldn't be?
150
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:38,837
Did I kill my ex to
make that happen?
151
00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:40,564
Do I look like that
big a schmuck?
152
00:06:40,734 --> 00:06:42,828
Besides, I only owed
her for another 18 months.
153
00:06:42,936 --> 00:06:44,802
Yeah. Still, that's a
big chunk of change.
154
00:06:45,038 --> 00:06:46,336
You strapped for cash, Doc?
155
00:06:46,506 --> 00:06:48,441
Money's not my problem, time is.
156
00:06:48,508 --> 00:06:50,853
You know what a Botox-petrified
garden this ZIP code has become?
157
00:06:50,877 --> 00:06:52,722
I got these rich gals
lined up around the block.
158
00:06:52,746 --> 00:06:55,011
They'd rather look like the
Sphinx than get a wrinkle.
159
00:06:55,148 --> 00:06:56,659
Like people can't tell
how old they are anyway.
160
00:06:56,683 --> 00:06:58,879
Why'd you two split up? Kids.
161
00:06:59,286 --> 00:07:01,063
Well, we were told that
she couldn't have any.
162
00:07:01,087 --> 00:07:03,848
She wanted to adopt. I didn't want
a stranger running around my house.
163
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:05,830
She spent enough time
with other people's kids.
164
00:07:06,192 --> 00:07:07,660
That make you jealous, did it?
165
00:07:08,962 --> 00:07:10,123
We grew apart.
166
00:07:11,564 --> 00:07:13,260
Maybe I screwed up. Who knows?
167
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:16,028
So, other than by alimony
check, you guys keep in touch?
168
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:18,269
Saw her in the hospital
after her hip surgery.
169
00:07:18,538 --> 00:07:20,378
So you wouldn't know if
she was seeing anybody?
170
00:07:20,507 --> 00:07:21,851
Her physical therapist,
three times a week.
171
00:07:21,875 --> 00:07:23,155
Other than that, I couldn't say.
172
00:07:23,376 --> 00:07:24,469
You know his name?
173
00:07:24,544 --> 00:07:25,544
Mr. Magic Fingers?
174
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,491
You know, come to think
of it, when you add it up,
175
00:07:28,515 --> 00:07:30,526
she probably spent more time with
him naked on the massage table,
176
00:07:30,550 --> 00:07:32,110
than she did with me
our whole marriage.
177
00:07:35,989 --> 00:07:38,015
I had a girlfriend who
had to get a nose job
178
00:07:38,091 --> 00:07:39,992
courtesy of a Bermuda scooter.
179
00:07:40,327 --> 00:07:43,058
Debra wasn't on a scooter,
she was trying to avoid one.
180
00:07:43,330 --> 00:07:44,525
How often did you see her?
181
00:07:44,597 --> 00:07:46,930
Three times a week, for
the last six months or so.
182
00:07:48,435 --> 00:07:49,562
I can't believe this.
183
00:07:50,270 --> 00:07:53,672
Was your relationship,
more than just professional?
184
00:07:54,541 --> 00:07:55,541
Excuse me?
185
00:07:56,176 --> 00:07:58,372
I don't know, with all
that touching going on.
186
00:07:58,812 --> 00:08:01,782
I touch my clients for
therapeutic purposes only.
187
00:08:02,382 --> 00:08:05,113
And Debra's therapy wasn't
pleasant, it was painful.
188
00:08:06,252 --> 00:08:08,050
She had a lot of
guts to stick it out.
189
00:08:08,121 --> 00:08:09,453
She was a very dedicated person.
190
00:08:09,622 --> 00:08:11,352
Still, all that
time on the table.
191
00:08:11,424 --> 00:08:12,949
I mean, she must
have confided in you.
192
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,360
She ever mention she
was seeing somebody?
193
00:08:17,630 --> 00:08:19,098
She did. One.
194
00:08:21,034 --> 00:08:22,332
Thing is, he's married.
195
00:08:24,004 --> 00:08:26,599
I heard it on the car radio
coming in this morning.
196
00:08:26,706 --> 00:08:27,706
Breaking News.
197
00:08:27,774 --> 00:08:28,774
How'd you two meet?
198
00:08:29,342 --> 00:08:31,436
I became Debra's
nutritionist post-op.
199
00:08:32,045 --> 00:08:34,378
She was in pretty good
shape, but pounds add up
200
00:08:34,447 --> 00:08:35,540
when you can't work out.
201
00:08:35,782 --> 00:08:38,980
So you provided an
alternative exercise regimen?
202
00:08:39,719 --> 00:08:40,896
What is that supposed to mean?
203
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,583
Dr. Freeman, you take all
your patients to the theater?
204
00:08:44,924 --> 00:08:47,758
Taking a friend to the
theater not a criminal act.
205
00:08:47,894 --> 00:08:50,022
Well, it could lead to
one if your wife found out.
206
00:08:50,096 --> 00:08:52,463
So, just for our records, where
were you on Sunday night?
207
00:08:52,866 --> 00:08:54,266
Where I always am
on Sunday nights.
208
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:57,800
In Greenwich, dining with
another happily married couple.
209
00:08:58,438 --> 00:09:00,168
Ah, life in the suburbs, Ed.
210
00:09:00,607 --> 00:09:01,700
See what we're missing?
211
00:09:01,775 --> 00:09:04,574
My wife doesn't care about
my extracurricular activities
212
00:09:04,644 --> 00:09:07,011
as long as they don't interfere
with her weekend plans.
213
00:09:08,448 --> 00:09:11,680
Maybe Debra was in a
vulnerable state after her accident.
214
00:09:11,785 --> 00:09:13,481
Maybe I took advantage of that,
215
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:15,647
but we both knew it
wasn't going anywhere.
216
00:09:16,156 --> 00:09:18,523
And Debra didn't want any
more out of the relationship?
217
00:09:18,858 --> 00:09:19,951
She never pushed.
218
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:22,195
Her life was that school.
She was devoted to it.
219
00:09:22,262 --> 00:09:24,322
In fact, I hadn't really
seen her in weeks.
220
00:09:24,697 --> 00:09:26,689
She was all wrapped up
in this admissions thing.
221
00:09:26,766 --> 00:09:29,531
Consumed by it. It was
kind of flipping her out.
222
00:09:29,969 --> 00:09:31,267
Flipping her out how?
223
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:33,464
It's harder to get into
Knowles than Harvard.
224
00:09:34,074 --> 00:09:36,669
Some of these parents can get
pretty aggressive. Abusive, even.
225
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:39,944
It got to the point... She
wouldn't answer the phone.
226
00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:43,893
Ah, there wasn't anything
on her answering machine
227
00:09:43,917 --> 00:09:45,283
or on her office voice mail.
228
00:09:45,552 --> 00:09:48,613
But these are
from her cell phone.
229
00:09:48,955 --> 00:09:51,254
MAN: Dr. Landon,
you know who this is.
230
00:09:51,424 --> 00:09:53,757
You're holding my child's
future in your hands.
231
00:09:54,227 --> 00:09:56,187
You say you're committed
to doing the right thing.
232
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:59,065
I hope you are, I really do.
233
00:09:59,599 --> 00:10:00,726
For your sake.
234
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:03,263
No name. LUDs show
it was from a pay phone
235
00:10:03,336 --> 00:10:04,376
near the MTA Headquarters.
236
00:10:04,604 --> 00:10:06,470
And now for pissed-off
parent number two.
237
00:10:07,674 --> 00:10:09,609
Miss Landon, this is
Clarissa Wagner. Again.
238
00:10:10,043 --> 00:10:12,288
I don't think you understand
the gravity of this situation.
239
00:10:12,312 --> 00:10:14,975
Let me just say that Chloe
has to attend Knowles
240
00:10:15,215 --> 00:10:17,081
and I'll do anything to
make sure that happens.
241
00:10:17,250 --> 00:10:19,719
And I won't take no for an
answer. Do you understand me?
242
00:10:22,155 --> 00:10:24,681
Hell hath no fury
like a mother scorned.
243
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:30,506
CLARISSA: I wish I
were the violent type.
244
00:10:30,530 --> 00:10:32,294
That woman has ruined our lives.
245
00:10:32,699 --> 00:10:35,066
For months we worked like
maniacs to get Chloe into Knowles.
246
00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:37,195
Extra tutors, the
interviews, the tests.
247
00:10:38,138 --> 00:10:40,698
Sounds like a lot of
stress. Valium helps.
248
00:10:41,207 --> 00:10:42,573
Not on you, on your daughter.
249
00:10:43,076 --> 00:10:45,045
Well, you're never too
young to learn how to cope.
250
00:10:46,179 --> 00:10:47,613
It's only kindergarten.
251
00:10:47,780 --> 00:10:48,975
It's not just kindergarten,
252
00:10:49,048 --> 00:10:50,088
it's the rest of her life.
253
00:10:51,084 --> 00:10:52,828
The right prep school
leads to the right college,
254
00:10:52,852 --> 00:10:54,980
the right job, the right
career, the right husband.
255
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:56,914
It's a carefully
calibrated ladder.
256
00:10:57,123 --> 00:10:58,591
And if you miss a step...
257
00:10:58,725 --> 00:11:00,845
Oh, excuse me. That's
the caterer, I'll be right back.
258
00:11:02,762 --> 00:11:04,754
Sounds like a
vicious circle to me.
259
00:11:04,831 --> 00:11:07,071
If I had a momma like that,
I'd run away with the circus.
260
00:11:07,534 --> 00:11:09,127
So, what tricks
are you gonna do?
261
00:11:09,369 --> 00:11:11,395
Oh, we're not here
for your party, honey.
262
00:11:11,471 --> 00:11:12,803
I know. You're
here to entertain.
263
00:11:12,872 --> 00:11:15,706
Daddy told me he got
lots of people to entertain.
264
00:11:16,276 --> 00:11:18,745
Do we look like clowns?
Eh, don't answer that.
265
00:11:19,345 --> 00:11:20,825
Sweetie, we don't
work for your daddy.
266
00:11:21,114 --> 00:11:23,674
Everybody works for my
daddy. And does what he says.
267
00:11:28,321 --> 00:11:29,584
I see you've met Chloe.
268
00:11:29,656 --> 00:11:31,784
Mmm-hmm. Mrs.
Wagner, we need to know
269
00:11:31,891 --> 00:11:33,792
where you were on Sunday night.
270
00:11:34,460 --> 00:11:37,020
My husband and I were
looking for a house in Greenwich.
271
00:11:38,398 --> 00:11:40,458
Well, no point in staying
in the city, humiliated.
272
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:41,900
Humiliated?
273
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:43,979
Everybody knows that
Chloe didn't get into Knowles.
274
00:11:44,003 --> 00:11:47,098
So we have to go
someplace else and start over.
275
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,438
It's a shame because we just
276
00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:52,479
finished putting Botticelli's
Primavera on her bedroom ceiling.
277
00:11:53,613 --> 00:11:56,583
Botticelli? Who did the
baseboards and the trim?
278
00:12:03,056 --> 00:12:05,491
MAN: I hope you
are, I really do.
279
00:12:07,594 --> 00:12:09,392
I'm sorry, I don't
recognize that voice.
280
00:12:09,529 --> 00:12:11,521
But then I wouldn't.
I retired last spring.
281
00:12:11,731 --> 00:12:12,926
And Debra replaced you.
282
00:12:13,066 --> 00:12:14,557
I recommended Debra for the job.
283
00:12:15,201 --> 00:12:18,365
To tell you the truth, I don't
think she was entirely happy.
284
00:12:18,438 --> 00:12:19,497
She missed teaching.
285
00:12:19,572 --> 00:12:22,084
GREEN: Not to mention all the
disgruntled parents she had to deal with.
286
00:12:22,108 --> 00:12:24,737
Which is why I'm back, holding
down the fort, temporarily.
287
00:12:24,877 --> 00:12:27,073
I thought the admissions
letters went out last week?
288
00:12:27,380 --> 00:12:28,820
Well, there's still
the waiting list.
289
00:12:28,915 --> 00:12:30,850
And some very desperate parents.
290
00:12:30,984 --> 00:12:34,318
They threaten, they
cajole, they try to bribe you.
291
00:12:34,587 --> 00:12:36,055
Were you ever tempted?
292
00:12:36,122 --> 00:12:38,887
There's not a lot money
can't buy in Manhattan.
293
00:12:39,692 --> 00:12:42,560
An apartment in an
exclusive co-op building is one.
294
00:12:42,662 --> 00:12:44,528
Admission to private
school is another.
295
00:12:44,897 --> 00:12:47,662
So, you're saying nobody
can buy their way in here?
296
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,395
Absolutely not.
Other than legacies.
297
00:12:50,770 --> 00:12:51,829
Legacies?
298
00:12:51,904 --> 00:12:54,897
Children of alumni,
siblings of current students.
299
00:12:54,974 --> 00:12:57,068
Otherwise admission
is strictly by merit.
300
00:12:57,210 --> 00:13:00,112
We'd still like to see a list of
the kids who didn't make the cut.
301
00:13:02,715 --> 00:13:05,150
Legacies. I wish I had a legacy.
302
00:13:05,218 --> 00:13:06,629
That's like affirmative
action for white folks.
303
00:13:06,653 --> 00:13:08,315
Ain't that how George
W. got into Yale?
304
00:13:08,388 --> 00:13:09,686
Because his daddy went there?
305
00:13:09,889 --> 00:13:11,667
Yeah. Come to think
of it, I do have a legacy.
306
00:13:11,691 --> 00:13:14,422
My old man went
to PS 21 and so did I.
307
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:16,905
There's a kid on the waiting
list who lives out of the district.
308
00:13:16,929 --> 00:13:18,761
Cassie Waters, 135th Street.
309
00:13:19,232 --> 00:13:21,064
Harlem? Could be
our mystery caller.
310
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:23,569
Well, you never know these
days. Harlem's totally gentrified.
311
00:13:26,739 --> 00:13:29,174
I was frustrated. That's
why I left that message.
312
00:13:29,475 --> 00:13:30,636
But I didn't kill her.
313
00:13:30,743 --> 00:13:32,769
BRISCOE: You were
pissed off Cassie didn't get in.
314
00:13:33,046 --> 00:13:36,448
Look, that school claims to take
the best, regardless of finances.
315
00:13:36,749 --> 00:13:38,581
They say they got
scholarship slots,
316
00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:41,485
they're committed to
diversity. All that bull.
317
00:13:42,055 --> 00:13:43,975
And you thought Cassie
should have been accepted.
318
00:13:44,190 --> 00:13:46,591
Dr. Landon kept saying that
Cassie was gonna make the list.
319
00:13:47,327 --> 00:13:48,693
And then we got the letter.
320
00:13:49,629 --> 00:13:50,995
Here, Daddy. Cookies.
321
00:13:51,898 --> 00:13:55,096
Oh, thanks, sweetie. Why
don't you go play now, okay?
322
00:13:55,535 --> 00:13:57,197
Can I watch Sponge Bob? Okay.
323
00:13:59,539 --> 00:14:01,269
She reads at a
second grade level,
324
00:14:01,341 --> 00:14:02,707
she's learning
to play the piano,
325
00:14:02,775 --> 00:14:04,505
scored off the
charts on her ERBs.
326
00:14:04,577 --> 00:14:07,445
And I didn't have any 4
grand to pay for a coach.
327
00:14:07,714 --> 00:14:10,309
Parents hire a coach to get
their kids into kindergarten?
328
00:14:10,583 --> 00:14:11,846
Anything for an edge.
329
00:14:12,385 --> 00:14:13,944
So where were you
on Sunday night?
330
00:14:14,153 --> 00:14:17,146
Here, with Cassie. I'm a
single father, it's all on me.
331
00:14:17,957 --> 00:14:19,721
She's in bed and
lights out by 8:00.
332
00:14:19,859 --> 00:14:21,452
And you were in all night long?
333
00:14:21,527 --> 00:14:23,052
I wouldn't leave Cassie alone.
334
00:14:23,129 --> 00:14:24,461
BRISCOE: Maybe
you hired a sitter.
335
00:14:24,664 --> 00:14:26,064
No, man. I was here.
336
00:14:26,532 --> 00:14:28,772
Well, it would help if you had
somebody to vouch for you.
337
00:14:28,835 --> 00:14:30,235
I don't know what to tell you.
338
00:14:30,470 --> 00:14:33,099
I wasn't mad at Dr. Landon,
she was on our side.
339
00:14:33,940 --> 00:14:36,239
I liked the lady. She kept
telling us to hang in there.
340
00:14:37,410 --> 00:14:38,969
I thought she had
the juice, but...
341
00:14:39,245 --> 00:14:42,113
I guess when the chips are
down, money is all that counts.
342
00:14:42,782 --> 00:14:43,782
Ever.
343
00:14:45,351 --> 00:14:46,649
BRISCOE: Got it, thanks.
344
00:14:47,286 --> 00:14:48,686
Forensics are in,
345
00:14:48,755 --> 00:14:52,248
they found powder blue, cashmere
fibers embedded in the cane.
346
00:14:52,625 --> 00:14:54,491
"Superfine,"
whatever that means.
347
00:14:54,761 --> 00:14:57,026
As in twice as
expensive as ordinary.
348
00:14:57,397 --> 00:14:58,956
Whatever happened to mohair?
349
00:14:59,132 --> 00:15:01,499
No prints or blood at the
scene other than the victim's.
350
00:15:01,567 --> 00:15:04,594
But get this, they got a hit
from Debra Landon's apartment.
351
00:15:04,771 --> 00:15:07,832
A partial. And guess
what, he's in the system.
352
00:15:08,541 --> 00:15:09,873
The dude's got a record?
353
00:15:10,076 --> 00:15:12,636
Only for being Bus
Dispatcher of the Month.
354
00:15:12,845 --> 00:15:14,541
Our man Marvin Waters.
355
00:15:16,215 --> 00:15:18,650
She invited us over to
talk about the situation.
356
00:15:18,718 --> 00:15:21,813
She was as frustrated as I
was about Cassie not getting in.
357
00:15:22,021 --> 00:15:23,819
Did she say why
Cassie wasn't getting in?
358
00:15:24,123 --> 00:15:25,123
She wouldn't.
359
00:15:25,892 --> 00:15:28,794
Only that the headmaster
pulled rank at the last minute
360
00:15:29,462 --> 00:15:32,557
and bumped Cassie to the
waiting list for some other kid.
361
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:34,697
Let me tell you something.
362
00:15:34,901 --> 00:15:37,837
If I was gonna kill anybody,
it would have been him.
363
00:15:38,604 --> 00:15:40,470
Condescending bastard.
364
00:15:42,575 --> 00:15:45,340
I remember Mr. Waters
well. A very angry man.
365
00:15:45,645 --> 00:15:46,908
Angry enough to kill?
366
00:15:46,979 --> 00:15:48,413
I wouldn't know.
But I do know that
367
00:15:48,481 --> 00:15:50,492
he couldn't reconcile himself
to the fact that his daughter
368
00:15:50,516 --> 00:15:52,116
just didn't have what
it takes to be part
369
00:15:52,185 --> 00:15:53,465
of the Knowles School community.
370
00:15:53,519 --> 00:15:55,078
Mr. Scofield. Oh, thank you.
371
00:15:55,154 --> 00:15:57,146
What is that, the
right complexion?
372
00:15:57,223 --> 00:15:59,419
We have a number of
minority students, Detective.
373
00:15:59,826 --> 00:16:01,124
We're committed to diversity,
374
00:16:01,727 --> 00:16:03,218
if the students are qualified.
375
00:16:04,030 --> 00:16:06,431
You know, that's the
trouble with affirmative action.
376
00:16:06,566 --> 00:16:08,398
It paints them all with
the same brush. Them?
377
00:16:08,835 --> 00:16:11,100
Minority students.
It stigmatizes them.
378
00:16:11,771 --> 00:16:12,898
No one takes them seriously.
379
00:16:12,972 --> 00:16:14,183
"Oh, she got in
because she was black.
380
00:16:14,207 --> 00:16:16,870
"Or Latino. Or... Whatever."
381
00:16:17,310 --> 00:16:20,644
I told Mr. Waters that Cassie would
be better off not going to Knowles.
382
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,213
Debra Landon thought that
Cassie Waters deserved a spot.
383
00:16:23,483 --> 00:16:24,849
Well, and I overruled her.
384
00:16:25,117 --> 00:16:26,483
It was her job to recommend
385
00:16:26,552 --> 00:16:28,544
and mine to decide. And I did.
386
00:16:29,121 --> 00:16:31,113
Where were you Sunday
evening, Mr. Scofield?
387
00:16:31,357 --> 00:16:32,357
At home.
388
00:16:32,525 --> 00:16:33,549
Alone?
389
00:16:33,626 --> 00:16:36,027
Just me and Dante. Dante?
390
00:16:36,229 --> 00:16:37,561
Alighieri.
391
00:16:38,431 --> 00:16:39,524
Purgatorio?
392
00:16:39,599 --> 00:16:41,431
Isn't that a strip
club in Queens?
393
00:16:41,667 --> 00:16:43,226
I get to spend all day with him.
394
00:16:43,302 --> 00:16:45,771
Lennie, let's let
Mr. Scofield get back to work.
395
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:48,603
Were you home all
evening, Mr. Scofield?
396
00:16:48,908 --> 00:16:51,434
Except for my constitutional,
which I take every evening,
397
00:16:51,511 --> 00:16:52,809
religiously, at 8:00.
398
00:16:53,646 --> 00:16:55,012
Your constitutional?
399
00:16:55,414 --> 00:16:57,349
You should watch more
Masterpiece Theater, Ed.
400
00:16:58,684 --> 00:17:01,552
Where do you
usually go? It varies.
401
00:17:01,621 --> 00:17:04,819
Wherever my mood
takes me. Am I a suspect?
402
00:17:04,957 --> 00:17:07,517
Just a couple more
questions for our report.
403
00:17:07,593 --> 00:17:10,495
So, where did your mood
take you Sunday evening?
404
00:17:10,763 --> 00:17:12,493
Well, let's see.
Over to Madison,
405
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:15,329
up to 96, across to Fifth,
and then back home.
406
00:17:16,102 --> 00:17:18,537
You go into the
park? Not after dark.
407
00:17:18,905 --> 00:17:19,998
Anybody see you?
408
00:17:20,172 --> 00:17:22,607
Thousands of my fellow
citizens. But no one I know.
409
00:17:23,242 --> 00:17:24,801
How long were you out?
410
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:26,243
Forty-five minutes. Exactly.
411
00:17:28,014 --> 00:17:29,209
Thanks.
412
00:17:29,882 --> 00:17:31,111
Powder blue cashmere.
413
00:17:31,183 --> 00:17:33,379
Yeah. Looked superfine to me.
414
00:17:33,452 --> 00:17:36,131
You know, if he is the guy, it's
pretty arrogant of him to be wearing it.
415
00:17:36,155 --> 00:17:37,155
Or pretty stupid.
416
00:17:37,256 --> 00:17:40,693
And Waters was right. He is a condescending
bastard. I wanted to kill him myself.
417
00:17:46,465 --> 00:17:47,643
DOORMAN: What can I do for you?
418
00:17:47,667 --> 00:17:49,829
Hey, were you on
the door Sunday night?
419
00:17:49,902 --> 00:17:51,165
Swing shift, 2:00 to 10:00.
420
00:17:51,637 --> 00:17:53,538
And did you notice
Mr. Scofield go out?
421
00:17:53,673 --> 00:17:55,073
You could set your watch by him.
422
00:17:55,141 --> 00:17:56,541
Every night at 8:00.
423
00:17:56,609 --> 00:17:59,443
Man's an urban legend,
the all-weather walker.
424
00:17:59,745 --> 00:18:02,180
Neither snow, nor
sleet, nor etcetera
425
00:18:02,248 --> 00:18:04,513
can keep him from his
"evening constitutional."
426
00:18:04,584 --> 00:18:06,075
And back at 8:45?
427
00:18:06,218 --> 00:18:08,016
Like I said. Man's a machine.
428
00:18:08,154 --> 00:18:11,682
So, last Sunday night you
saw him come back in at 8:45?
429
00:18:11,857 --> 00:18:15,055
On the dot. I mean, I
must have. He always does.
430
00:18:15,661 --> 00:18:17,186
GREEN: Well, did
you or didn't you?
431
00:18:17,263 --> 00:18:19,775
Well, tell you the truth, I might
have slipped down to the corner
432
00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:21,233
for a pack of smokes about then.
433
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:22,359
Just for something to do.
434
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:25,269
So you didn't actually see
him come back Sunday night?
435
00:18:26,572 --> 00:18:29,235
Come to think of it, no. Thanks.
436
00:18:31,711 --> 00:18:33,839
Okay. Thanks,
Frank. I owe you one.
437
00:18:33,913 --> 00:18:36,644
Hey, the doorman on the
graveyard shift said that Scofield
438
00:18:36,716 --> 00:18:38,912
went out again at
11:30, didn't come back
439
00:18:38,985 --> 00:18:40,544
till almost 1:00 Monday morning.
440
00:18:40,786 --> 00:18:44,086
That's funny, he didn't mention
a midnight constitutional to us.
441
00:18:44,256 --> 00:18:47,385
And, you know, I wonder if
his phones were out that day?
442
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:48,484
Huh?
443
00:18:48,561 --> 00:18:50,553
The LUDs on Debra
Landon's phone.
444
00:18:50,863 --> 00:18:53,992
8:14 Sunday night, she
got a call from a pay phone
445
00:18:54,066 --> 00:18:55,728
at 92nd and Fifth.
446
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:56,812
That's across from the park.
447
00:18:56,836 --> 00:18:58,964
And it's two blocks from
Scofield's apartment.
448
00:18:59,038 --> 00:19:00,768
So what you think?
You think he called her,
449
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,317
said let's take a
walk, talk things over?
450
00:19:02,341 --> 00:19:05,675
Maybe she saw it as a last chance
to make a pitch for Cassie Waters.
451
00:19:07,113 --> 00:19:08,342
Yeah?
452
00:19:09,281 --> 00:19:10,806
Oh, all right. We'll
be right there.
453
00:19:11,450 --> 00:19:14,648
It was Myra Camp. She got
something off of Debra's office computer.
454
00:19:17,590 --> 00:19:19,718
She washed her e-mail
Sunday night. What time?
455
00:19:19,792 --> 00:19:22,853
Logged on at 11:42 signed off
at eight minutes past midnight.
456
00:19:22,928 --> 00:19:24,260
No, she didn't.
457
00:19:24,330 --> 00:19:27,767
No. We were told she was killed
sometime between 8:00 and 10:00.
458
00:19:28,401 --> 00:19:29,494
Oh.
459
00:19:29,602 --> 00:19:30,865
BRISCOE: Can you get it back?
460
00:19:31,270 --> 00:19:34,138
Detective, you know I never
met a hard drive I can't lick.
461
00:19:35,408 --> 00:19:37,070
This is one I retrieved
from the server.
462
00:19:37,276 --> 00:19:39,316
Landon sent it to Scofield
the week before she died.
463
00:19:39,645 --> 00:19:41,045
GREEN: "Re: Cassie Waters,
464
00:19:41,113 --> 00:19:43,981
"I can't disagree more strongly.
You're making a huge mistake.
465
00:19:44,050 --> 00:19:46,542
"You'd compromise the integrity
of the admissions process."
466
00:19:46,852 --> 00:19:50,186
We already know she and Scofield
disagreed about Cassie Waters.
467
00:19:50,423 --> 00:19:52,663
I don't suppose you could
tell us who deleted the e-mail?
468
00:19:52,958 --> 00:19:55,120
I can't give you a name.
But it had to be someone
469
00:19:55,194 --> 00:19:57,459
with a master override
password. BRISCOE: Meaning?
470
00:19:57,697 --> 00:20:00,257
Meaning they could get onto any
computer on the school's network.
471
00:20:00,466 --> 00:20:03,561
Now how many people in the
school would have a master password?
472
00:20:05,071 --> 00:20:06,266
Thanks.
473
00:20:07,073 --> 00:20:08,884
SCOFIELD: Well done,
Avery, you're a gentleman.
474
00:20:08,908 --> 00:20:12,504
I have $7,000 from Avery
Herman! Do I hear 7,500?
475
00:20:13,179 --> 00:20:16,547
I do not. Well, then we have
$7,000 from Avery Herman.
476
00:20:16,615 --> 00:20:19,744
I have $7,000,
$7,000 going once.
477
00:20:19,852 --> 00:20:24,085
$7,000 going twice.
478
00:20:24,156 --> 00:20:26,523
Sold to the man in
the silver bracelets.
479
00:20:26,659 --> 00:20:29,322
Wyatt Scofield, you're under arrest
for the murder of Debra Landon.
480
00:20:29,628 --> 00:20:31,707
You have the right to remain
silent. Anything you say
481
00:20:31,731 --> 00:20:33,341
can be used against
you in a court of law.
482
00:20:33,365 --> 00:20:34,799
You have the
right to an attorney.
483
00:20:34,934 --> 00:20:37,927
If you cannot afford one,
one will be provided for you.
484
00:20:40,506 --> 00:20:41,940
COURT CLERK: "Docket ending 724
485
00:20:42,007 --> 00:20:45,171
"People v. Wyatt Scofield. One
count of Murder in the Second Degree."
486
00:20:45,478 --> 00:20:47,640
Norman Rothenberg for
the Defense, Your Honor.
487
00:20:47,813 --> 00:20:49,679
The honor is mine,
Mr. Rothenberg.
488
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:52,552
Ready to enter a
plea, Mr. Scofield?
489
00:20:52,885 --> 00:20:54,376
Not guilty, Your Honor.
490
00:20:54,453 --> 00:20:57,617
Excellent choice. I love
a good society murder.
491
00:20:58,057 --> 00:21:00,185
Perhaps we'll all get
famous. Ms. Southerlyn?
492
00:21:00,292 --> 00:21:03,023
People request bail in
the amount of $1 million.
493
00:21:03,229 --> 00:21:06,893
Your Honor, the defendant
has limited financial resources.
494
00:21:06,966 --> 00:21:09,458
You're not working pro bono,
are you, Mr. Rothenberg?
495
00:21:09,602 --> 00:21:11,002
Mr. Scofield's friends
496
00:21:11,070 --> 00:21:12,834
have raised funds
for his defense.
497
00:21:12,905 --> 00:21:15,065
JUDGE: Then he's not
without financial recourse, is he?
498
00:21:15,207 --> 00:21:17,904
The defendant has deep
roots within the community.
499
00:21:18,410 --> 00:21:20,641
We ask that he be released
on his own recognizance.
500
00:21:20,913 --> 00:21:22,924
Mr. Scofield might have
deep roots in the community,
501
00:21:22,948 --> 00:21:24,576
but his friends
have deep pockets.
502
00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:26,714
We think he's a
definite flight risk.
503
00:21:26,919 --> 00:21:28,581
The defendant will
surrender his passport,
504
00:21:28,654 --> 00:21:31,419
bail is set at $500,000
cash or bond. Next.
505
00:21:33,092 --> 00:21:34,560
ROTHENBERG:
Judge Torledsky is right.
506
00:21:34,660 --> 00:21:37,357
We are looking at
this year's Skakel-fest.
507
00:21:37,897 --> 00:21:40,366
Maybe you enjoy the limelight,
508
00:21:40,666 --> 00:21:42,692
but personally, I
find it carcinogenic.
509
00:21:43,202 --> 00:21:46,366
I'd be glad to avoid the
media feeding frenzy of a trial.
510
00:21:46,438 --> 00:21:49,237
If Mr. Scofield can convince
us that his actions weren't
511
00:21:49,375 --> 00:21:51,276
premeditated with
malice or forethought,
512
00:21:51,343 --> 00:21:53,244
I might entertain a lesser plea.
513
00:21:53,479 --> 00:21:56,540
I'll tell you what. Why don't we
just dismiss the charges outright?
514
00:21:56,782 --> 00:21:57,782
Not a chance.
515
00:21:57,817 --> 00:21:59,094
SCOFIELD: Why
would I kill Debra?
516
00:21:59,118 --> 00:22:00,484
We were colleagues,
nothing more.
517
00:22:01,287 --> 00:22:02,346
I barely knew the woman.
518
00:22:02,421 --> 00:22:05,323
Her e-mail indicates
that she was threatening
519
00:22:05,391 --> 00:22:07,587
to go to your board
about something you did.
520
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:09,526
You thought your
job was in jeopardy.
521
00:22:09,595 --> 00:22:12,190
She was upset I overruled
one of her admission decisions.
522
00:22:12,565 --> 00:22:15,000
I've been at the Knowles
School for 25 years.
523
00:22:15,968 --> 00:22:18,699
Dr. Landon taught kindergarten
before she was promoted.
524
00:22:18,904 --> 00:22:21,396
Whose expertise do you
think the board values more?
525
00:22:21,607 --> 00:22:24,133
Then why did you erase her
e-mail? I did no such thing.
526
00:22:24,443 --> 00:22:27,675
You've lied to the police.
Fibers from your sweater.
527
00:22:27,746 --> 00:22:29,874
This is absurd! Wyatt, please.
528
00:22:30,349 --> 00:22:31,510
If I may?
529
00:22:35,454 --> 00:22:37,494
Look, you can have all
the sugar in the world, Jack.
530
00:22:37,556 --> 00:22:39,768
You can have all the chocolate.
You can have all the icing.
531
00:22:39,792 --> 00:22:42,421
But if you don't have the
yeast, you ain't baking a cake.
532
00:22:42,628 --> 00:22:44,096
Meaning? Motive.
533
00:22:44,597 --> 00:22:46,759
Even if what you're
hypothesizing is true,
534
00:22:47,166 --> 00:22:48,964
my client didn't have
to kill Dr. Landon.
535
00:22:49,034 --> 00:22:50,502
He could merely have fired her.
536
00:22:52,438 --> 00:22:54,398
Well, it won't be the
first time I've tried a case
537
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,409
on circumstantial
evidence alone.
538
00:22:56,675 --> 00:22:59,611
Sure. That works great
for drug dealers and pimps.
539
00:23:00,246 --> 00:23:02,206
We're talking about the
landed gentry here, folks.
540
00:23:02,414 --> 00:23:03,712
Motive goes a long way.
541
00:23:03,782 --> 00:23:06,661
Well, we know Debra Landon was threatening
to go to the board about something.
542
00:23:06,685 --> 00:23:08,620
The problem is, we
don't know what it was.
543
00:23:08,988 --> 00:23:11,958
Her e-mail said he was compromising
the integrity of the process.
544
00:23:12,992 --> 00:23:14,432
From my experience,
for these people,
545
00:23:14,493 --> 00:23:16,655
"integrity" is usually a
euphemism for money.
546
00:23:17,496 --> 00:23:19,988
You think Scofield had to be
taking money under the table?
547
00:23:20,599 --> 00:23:22,363
Well, we know Cassie
Waters didn't get in.
548
00:23:22,434 --> 00:23:23,714
I'll find out who took her spot.
549
00:23:24,803 --> 00:23:26,465
There are 50 kids
on the waiting list.
550
00:23:26,872 --> 00:23:30,206
All ready, willing and able to
pay $20,000 for kindergarten.
551
00:23:30,342 --> 00:23:32,811
It goes up to
$26,000 for first grade.
552
00:23:32,878 --> 00:23:34,608
We do have scholarship students.
553
00:23:35,247 --> 00:23:37,773
Out of the 50, how many
were ultimately accepted?
554
00:23:37,883 --> 00:23:40,512
Ten. Although three had
already accepted Horace Mann.
555
00:23:40,586 --> 00:23:41,952
Three accepted Riverdale.
556
00:23:42,021 --> 00:23:45,219
Were any accepted after
Mr. Scofield rejected Cassie Waters?
557
00:23:46,992 --> 00:23:50,394
The last child accepted
was Jared Anchin.
558
00:23:51,697 --> 00:23:54,189
His letter went out the
same day as Cassie Waters'.
559
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,263
Anchin, I know that name.
I wouldn't be proud of it.
560
00:23:57,636 --> 00:23:59,229
Jared's Dad is Harvey Anchin.
561
00:24:00,606 --> 00:24:01,801
You mean... That's right.
562
00:24:02,174 --> 00:24:03,608
The Prince of Porn.
563
00:24:03,676 --> 00:24:06,145
I guess Mr. Scofield didn't
think that we should hold the sins
564
00:24:06,211 --> 00:24:07,611
of the father against the son.
565
00:24:11,550 --> 00:24:14,213
I said 2%. This
is half and half.
566
00:24:14,286 --> 00:24:15,811
What are you
trying to do, kill me?
567
00:24:16,555 --> 00:24:19,024
You know what this
stuff is? Liquid coronary.
568
00:24:19,091 --> 00:24:21,185
You're really working for
John Ashcroft, aren't you?
569
00:24:21,260 --> 00:24:22,580
(STUTTERING)
I'll get you another.
570
00:24:23,462 --> 00:24:24,623
Mr. Anchin?
571
00:24:24,997 --> 00:24:27,108
If you're here for the screening,
see the girl at the door.
572
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:28,395
Actually, I'm not.
573
00:24:29,001 --> 00:24:31,436
Serena Southerlyn,
District Attorney's office.
574
00:24:31,870 --> 00:24:34,135
I have all my licenses.
I have my financials
575
00:24:34,340 --> 00:24:37,139
filed with the Secretary of
State. And most important,
576
00:24:37,409 --> 00:24:39,605
I know the First Amendment
backwards and forwards.
577
00:24:39,979 --> 00:24:41,777
I'd like to talk to you
about Debra Landon.
578
00:24:41,914 --> 00:24:43,212
Uh, never heard of her.
579
00:24:43,415 --> 00:24:45,680
She was the admissions
director of the Knowles School.
580
00:24:46,452 --> 00:24:48,819
Oh God, yeah. That's right.
581
00:24:48,887 --> 00:24:52,119
I had my girl send her flowers
and her office sent them back.
582
00:24:52,624 --> 00:24:54,286
That could be because
she was murdered.
583
00:24:54,593 --> 00:24:56,960
Oh, sure! Why not?
584
00:24:57,563 --> 00:25:00,362
I sell dirty pictures. I make dirty
movies. I must kill people, too.
585
00:25:00,432 --> 00:25:05,234
Listen, do you know that pornography
is an $8 billion a year industry?
586
00:25:05,304 --> 00:25:08,172
It always amazes me
that nobody watches it.
587
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,004
Nobody thinks you killed her.
588
00:25:10,175 --> 00:25:12,576
We were just wondering
if you made a contribution.
589
00:25:12,711 --> 00:25:14,737
I mean, I tried. But those
tight-asses didn't think
590
00:25:14,813 --> 00:25:16,213
my money was good enough.
591
00:25:16,815 --> 00:25:18,408
Lucky my kid has brains.
592
00:25:18,684 --> 00:25:19,982
Yeah. Look at that.
593
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:23,282
You know who that is?
That's Jack Mayberry.
594
00:25:23,689 --> 00:25:26,090
He's the CEO of Oxford Electric.
595
00:25:26,158 --> 00:25:28,320
And that fat guy,
that's Boyd Carson.
596
00:25:28,394 --> 00:25:30,795
He's on the board of
MacArthur International.
597
00:25:31,196 --> 00:25:34,030
And the good looking
gentleman, that's Freddy Scarpio,
598
00:25:34,099 --> 00:25:36,466
of Scarpio Cement and Plumbing.
599
00:25:36,869 --> 00:25:38,303
They all invested in my movie.
600
00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:40,737
Their "clean" money
goes into my bank accounts
601
00:25:40,806 --> 00:25:43,401
and suddenly it's
untouchable by decent folk.
602
00:25:43,776 --> 00:25:45,802
Actually, I was
wondering if Wyatt Scofield
603
00:25:45,944 --> 00:25:47,435
felt the same way
about your money?
604
00:25:48,147 --> 00:25:49,147
Who?
605
00:25:49,214 --> 00:25:50,375
Look...
606
00:25:51,050 --> 00:25:53,918
I got hands to
shake, so I'm gonna...
607
00:25:54,653 --> 00:25:55,653
Great.
608
00:26:00,292 --> 00:26:02,921
Are you sure Scofield doesn't have
another bank account somewhere?
609
00:26:03,195 --> 00:26:04,823
Not in this state anyway.
610
00:26:05,898 --> 00:26:09,335
Well, from what I've got here, the only
money he deposits are his paychecks.
611
00:26:11,470 --> 00:26:13,098
Maybe Anchin
paid him off in trade.
612
00:26:13,705 --> 00:26:17,107
Get my kid into your school, I'll give
you a life time supply of skin flicks?
613
00:26:17,976 --> 00:26:19,467
It's easier to get cable.
614
00:26:22,581 --> 00:26:24,140
Look at this.
615
00:26:25,184 --> 00:26:26,550
Every month, like clockwork,
616
00:26:27,486 --> 00:26:31,116
Scofield paid $2,300 to
the Fitzgerald Company.
617
00:26:31,523 --> 00:26:33,355
He lives at the
Fitzgerald. It must be rent.
618
00:26:35,227 --> 00:26:36,627
Last month it stopped.
619
00:26:37,262 --> 00:26:38,753
You think Anchin
is paying his rent?
620
00:26:40,666 --> 00:26:42,294
From what I hear,
he could afford it.
621
00:26:46,772 --> 00:26:48,283
RUSH: Do you know
how many buildings I own?
622
00:26:48,307 --> 00:26:50,485
I'm supposed to remember if
one tenant missed a rent payment?
623
00:26:50,509 --> 00:26:52,637
If you could just
check your records, sir.
624
00:26:52,845 --> 00:26:55,190
Why don't you talk to my
managing agent? He's on 14th Street.
625
00:26:55,214 --> 00:26:56,254
He'd be happy to help you.
626
00:26:56,315 --> 00:26:58,875
And I'd be happy to talk to
him. But I'm already here.
627
00:27:00,652 --> 00:27:01,892
What building we talking about?
628
00:27:02,521 --> 00:27:04,921
The Fitzgerald. You should
have said that in the first place.
629
00:27:05,023 --> 00:27:06,355
I'm taking that building co-op,
630
00:27:06,425 --> 00:27:08,803
putting in a new lobby, a
fitness center, a pool on the roof,
631
00:27:08,827 --> 00:27:09,920
a courtyard in the back.
632
00:27:09,995 --> 00:27:12,021
So, if Mr. Scofield
purchased his apartment...
633
00:27:12,431 --> 00:27:13,791
He's not paying
rent to me anymore.
634
00:27:13,832 --> 00:27:15,512
His hard earned money
is going to his bank.
635
00:27:15,667 --> 00:27:18,296
Hey. I've still got some great
units left if you're interested.
636
00:27:19,705 --> 00:27:21,298
I read about it in the paper.
637
00:27:21,373 --> 00:27:24,832
I can't believe Mr. Scofield
would be involved in a murder.
638
00:27:24,943 --> 00:27:26,002
Did you know him well?
639
00:27:26,111 --> 00:27:29,980
Oh, he'd come in to get
cash. The ATM scared him.
640
00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:33,850
From what I understand, Mr. Scofield
recently purchased his apartment.
641
00:27:33,919 --> 00:27:35,046
I should be so lucky.
642
00:27:35,220 --> 00:27:37,100
A building goes co-op
while you're living there,
643
00:27:37,422 --> 00:27:39,789
it's the next best thing
to winning the Lotto.
644
00:27:39,958 --> 00:27:43,622
I think he said the outsider price
for his unit was a million three.
645
00:27:43,929 --> 00:27:45,295
He got it for 700.
646
00:27:45,364 --> 00:27:47,060
The thing is, I reviewed
his bank records
647
00:27:47,132 --> 00:27:49,067
but I didn't see any
mortgage payments.
648
00:27:49,368 --> 00:27:52,133
I wouldn't know. He never
applied for a loan with us.
649
00:27:53,539 --> 00:27:55,906
I pulled the financials for
the Fitzgerald conversion
650
00:27:55,974 --> 00:27:57,602
from the Secretary of State.
651
00:27:57,676 --> 00:27:59,508
Bud Rush, the
owner of the building
652
00:27:59,578 --> 00:28:03,948
gave Scofield an apartment
worth almost $1.5 million.
653
00:28:04,883 --> 00:28:06,647
It's nice to have
friends in high places.
654
00:28:06,952 --> 00:28:08,853
Management could lower
prices because the cost
655
00:28:08,954 --> 00:28:11,321
of the cement for the
renovations also dropped.
656
00:28:11,490 --> 00:28:14,221
Rush bought his cement from
Scarpio Cement and Plumbing.
657
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,704
When I talked to Harvey
Anchin, he told me that
658
00:28:16,728 --> 00:28:19,027
Freddy Scarpio
invested in his movies.
659
00:28:19,331 --> 00:28:22,529
I met Harvey Anchin, he wouldn't
have Scarpio do a favor for Rush,
660
00:28:22,601 --> 00:28:24,263
unless there was
something in it for him.
661
00:28:24,736 --> 00:28:26,932
Like getting his son
into the Knowles School.
662
00:28:27,172 --> 00:28:28,697
Anchin scratches Rush's back.
663
00:28:29,241 --> 00:28:31,733
Rush scratches Scofield's.
And around and around we go.
664
00:28:32,077 --> 00:28:34,603
Until Debra Landon found
out where all the itches were.
665
00:28:35,981 --> 00:28:38,780
Only problem is, how could she
possibly find out about all this?
666
00:28:38,984 --> 00:28:40,795
She didn't have to. All
she had to do was go public
667
00:28:40,819 --> 00:28:42,447
about Cassie Waters' rejection.
668
00:28:42,921 --> 00:28:44,651
A lot of questions
would be asked.
669
00:28:45,424 --> 00:28:47,325
Which would lead
to a lot of answers.
670
00:28:51,930 --> 00:28:55,560
BECK: Microscopic examination revealed
the presence of high-grade cashmere fibers.
671
00:28:56,835 --> 00:28:57,946
Have you seen
this sweater before?
672
00:28:57,970 --> 00:29:00,269
People's 12, belonging
to the defendant?
673
00:29:00,806 --> 00:29:02,672
Ah, we subjected it
to a series of tests,
674
00:29:02,741 --> 00:29:05,233
comparing the material to the
fibers found on the murder weapon
675
00:29:05,544 --> 00:29:08,309
and the thickness, color and
chemical composition are identical.
676
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,178
Were you able to ascertain
when the fibers came to be lodged
677
00:29:12,251 --> 00:29:13,742
on the head of
the victim's cane?
678
00:29:14,052 --> 00:29:15,884
Well, since they were
embedded in her blood,
679
00:29:15,988 --> 00:29:17,198
along with strands of her hair,
680
00:29:17,222 --> 00:29:18,600
they had to have
been deposited there
681
00:29:18,624 --> 00:29:20,424
at the time when she
was struck with her cane.
682
00:29:20,459 --> 00:29:21,859
In other words,
when she was killed.
683
00:29:21,927 --> 00:29:23,225
At the time of her murder? Yes.
684
00:29:23,762 --> 00:29:26,254
And how would they have
come to be embedded there?
685
00:29:26,598 --> 00:29:28,409
The victim must have
tried to fend off her assailant
686
00:29:28,433 --> 00:29:30,493
using her cane and the
head of it hit his sweater.
687
00:29:31,336 --> 00:29:34,465
And then he must have
taken the cane from her
688
00:29:35,274 --> 00:29:36,554
and beaten her to death with it.
689
00:29:36,975 --> 00:29:38,415
I think that's exactly
what happened.
690
00:29:43,482 --> 00:29:45,542
Identical, you
say? That's right.
691
00:29:46,151 --> 00:29:48,620
Does that mean that the
fibers found on the cane
692
00:29:48,787 --> 00:29:50,881
definitely came from
Mr. Scofield's sweater?
693
00:29:51,156 --> 00:29:53,853
Not necessarily. But
the likelihood is high.
694
00:29:54,259 --> 00:29:56,699
There are other expensive blue
cashmere sweaters in the world,
695
00:29:56,762 --> 00:29:58,128
besides Mr. Scofield's?
696
00:29:58,864 --> 00:30:02,357
Same manufacturer,
same dye lot, same wool?
697
00:30:02,434 --> 00:30:04,266
BECK: It's possible, I suppose.
698
00:30:05,137 --> 00:30:07,418
Or maybe somebody else was
wearing Mr. Scofield's sweater.
699
00:30:08,307 --> 00:30:09,400
Your Honor?
700
00:30:09,474 --> 00:30:10,874
Restrain yourself, Mr. Beck.
701
00:30:11,543 --> 00:30:12,909
Sorry, Your Honor.
702
00:30:13,845 --> 00:30:16,815
Fibers comparison isn't
an exact science, is it?
703
00:30:17,382 --> 00:30:19,351
I mean, not like DNA.
704
00:30:20,652 --> 00:30:21,652
No.
705
00:30:21,853 --> 00:30:23,185
Or even fingerprints.
706
00:30:23,388 --> 00:30:26,153
As a matter of fact, there
were no fingerprints or DNA
707
00:30:26,224 --> 00:30:28,584
other than the victim's found
on the cane, isn't that right?
708
00:30:29,061 --> 00:30:30,061
That's correct.
709
00:30:30,896 --> 00:30:32,091
Just some fibers
710
00:30:32,731 --> 00:30:34,359
which may or may not
711
00:30:34,933 --> 00:30:36,561
have come from
Mr. Scofield's sweater.
712
00:30:39,438 --> 00:30:40,438
Is that a question?
713
00:30:42,974 --> 00:30:45,000
No. I think you've
already answered it.
714
00:30:51,983 --> 00:30:53,645
I only graduated
from high school.
715
00:30:54,186 --> 00:30:56,018
I had to work to
help out my family.
716
00:30:56,488 --> 00:30:58,116
I swore my daughter
would have it better.
717
00:30:58,757 --> 00:31:01,277
JACK: That's why you wanted
Cassie to attend the Knowles School?
718
00:31:01,660 --> 00:31:03,595
She earned it. She deserved it.
719
00:31:04,596 --> 00:31:07,464
Dr. Landon said that Knowles
would give her the best education
720
00:31:07,532 --> 00:31:08,932
the city had to offer.
721
00:31:09,134 --> 00:31:11,365
It costs $20,000
a year, Mr. Waters.
722
00:31:11,436 --> 00:31:12,716
How were you
going to pay for it?
723
00:31:12,771 --> 00:31:15,104
Dr. Landon said that Cassie
would have a scholarship.
724
00:31:15,774 --> 00:31:18,608
She said they wanted
children like Cassie for diversity.
725
00:31:19,077 --> 00:31:22,070
That she would be doing the
school a favor by going there.
726
00:31:22,447 --> 00:31:26,248
It sounds like Dr. Landon assured
you that Cassie would be admitted.
727
00:31:26,551 --> 00:31:29,988
She said with Cassie's test score
and her verbal and reading ability,
728
00:31:30,822 --> 00:31:31,983
she was going to get in.
729
00:31:33,892 --> 00:31:35,451
So it must have
come as quite a shock
730
00:31:36,461 --> 00:31:37,724
when Cassie was turned down?
731
00:31:37,896 --> 00:31:41,025
Yeah, I was shocked. I was
damn angry, is what I was.
732
00:31:41,166 --> 00:31:43,260
Did you express that
anger to Dr. Landon?
733
00:31:43,335 --> 00:31:45,236
You bet I did. And
how did she respond?
734
00:31:45,771 --> 00:31:48,172
She told me that he was
furious at the whole thing.
735
00:31:48,340 --> 00:31:49,501
She said it made her sick.
736
00:31:49,975 --> 00:31:52,843
That the school pretended
to have such high ideals
737
00:31:52,911 --> 00:31:56,404
but when it came down to it, they
would rather take a rich, white kid
738
00:31:56,648 --> 00:31:58,082
than a smart black kid.
739
00:31:58,617 --> 00:32:00,857
JACK: What, if anything, did
she say she was going to do?
740
00:32:01,219 --> 00:32:03,484
She said she was going
to talk to this Mr. Scofield.
741
00:32:04,389 --> 00:32:07,086
She said he was the one
that turned Cassie down.
742
00:32:07,626 --> 00:32:10,626
And if that didn't work, she was going
to go to the board and raise a stink.
743
00:32:11,062 --> 00:32:12,257
If that didn't work,
744
00:32:12,931 --> 00:32:14,627
she said she was
going to go to the papers.
745
00:32:15,333 --> 00:32:16,665
One more thing, Mr. Waters.
746
00:32:17,302 --> 00:32:19,168
What school is Cassie
going to attend now?
747
00:32:21,973 --> 00:32:23,168
PS 197.
748
00:32:25,010 --> 00:32:27,070
She's going to have to
walk through metal detectors.
749
00:32:27,345 --> 00:32:29,211
She's going to have
40 kids in her class.
750
00:32:29,648 --> 00:32:31,640
Not enough reading
textbooks to go around.
751
00:32:34,719 --> 00:32:35,914
They have to share.
752
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,622
A black child
753
00:32:44,196 --> 00:32:47,257
doesn't get into a
prestigious institution,
754
00:32:48,266 --> 00:32:50,360
it has to be something
underhanded that kept her out?
755
00:32:51,236 --> 00:32:52,568
In this case, yes.
756
00:32:52,838 --> 00:32:55,933
Because she's entitled to
this expensive education?
757
00:32:56,374 --> 00:32:57,967
As much as anyone else.
758
00:32:58,109 --> 00:32:59,168
Really?
759
00:32:59,311 --> 00:33:02,042
Well then, what
about the white kid
760
00:33:02,447 --> 00:33:04,647
who would be turned down if
your daughter were accepted?
761
00:33:05,183 --> 00:33:06,446
He was less qualified.
762
00:33:07,252 --> 00:33:09,915
Besides, it's not my
concern. No, of course it isn't.
763
00:33:11,056 --> 00:33:12,957
You only want
what's owed to you.
764
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:16,552
Not me! My child!
765
00:33:19,264 --> 00:33:21,264
That's quite a temper
you've got there, Mr. Waters.
766
00:33:33,345 --> 00:33:36,873
I feel sad for that girl, but,
uh, that's the way it goes.
767
00:33:37,215 --> 00:33:38,581
The rich get richer.
768
00:33:39,184 --> 00:33:42,245
My kid did fine on that test they
gave him. Why shouldn't he get in?
769
00:33:42,554 --> 00:33:45,752
Because the admissions director
thought there was a better candidate.
770
00:33:46,358 --> 00:33:48,850
Isn't it about time we stopped
bending over backwards for...
771
00:33:49,794 --> 00:33:52,059
You're referring to
minority candidates.
772
00:33:52,464 --> 00:33:54,592
Look, I know all
about prejudice.
773
00:33:54,900 --> 00:33:56,425
My job, my line of work,
774
00:33:57,502 --> 00:34:00,336
let's just say I'm not
accepted in certain circles.
775
00:34:00,972 --> 00:34:02,497
I want better than
that for my son.
776
00:34:02,574 --> 00:34:06,568
Your son didn't score as well as
Cassie Waters on the entrance exam.
777
00:34:06,645 --> 00:34:07,806
That doesn't bother you?
778
00:34:07,879 --> 00:34:10,747
Hey, it wasn't me who
told them who to turn down.
779
00:34:11,182 --> 00:34:13,310
I just wanted them
to accept Jared.
780
00:34:13,752 --> 00:34:17,154
So how did you feel when
they put him on the waiting list?
781
00:34:18,023 --> 00:34:19,023
I wasn't thrilled.
782
00:34:19,524 --> 00:34:20,719
So what did you do?
783
00:34:20,792 --> 00:34:23,318
I called that Debra Landon.
784
00:34:23,395 --> 00:34:27,093
She said, "I'm sorry, it looks like
we have more qualified applicants."
785
00:34:27,198 --> 00:34:29,565
You know, those
kids are 5 years old.
786
00:34:29,634 --> 00:34:31,227
How the hell does she know that?
787
00:34:31,536 --> 00:34:32,834
So I asked her, I said,
788
00:34:32,904 --> 00:34:34,304
"Is there anything I can do?"
789
00:34:34,506 --> 00:34:36,839
She laughed at me and
said, "This is Knowles School,
790
00:34:36,908 --> 00:34:40,504
"not some auction where a spot
goes to the highest the bidder."
791
00:34:42,681 --> 00:34:43,681
What did you do?
792
00:34:44,015 --> 00:34:46,951
I had a business associate
who knew someone at the school.
793
00:34:47,118 --> 00:34:49,087
And he said he could
push a few buttons.
794
00:34:49,421 --> 00:34:51,413
Who was this business associate?
795
00:34:52,290 --> 00:34:53,290
Bud Rush.
796
00:34:53,725 --> 00:34:55,751
And whose buttons was
he supposed to push?
797
00:34:56,428 --> 00:34:59,091
Oh, the headmaster.
Wyatt Scofield.
798
00:35:06,972 --> 00:35:11,376
Was Mr. Rush going to help you
out of the kindness of his heart?
799
00:35:11,710 --> 00:35:13,679
He was paying top
dollar for cement
800
00:35:13,745 --> 00:35:16,340
and I was able to get him
a more reasonable price.
801
00:35:16,648 --> 00:35:18,742
Because you knew his
supplier, Frank Scarpio.
802
00:35:18,883 --> 00:35:20,044
Yeah. That's right.
803
00:35:20,118 --> 00:35:24,055
Are you aware that Mr. Scarpio was
indicted several times for price gouging?
804
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:28,284
It seems to me I might have
heard something about that.
805
00:35:28,693 --> 00:35:31,094
And are you aware that he is
currently under investigation,
806
00:35:31,162 --> 00:35:33,563
along with members of
the Masucci crime family,
807
00:35:34,032 --> 00:35:36,160
for violating federal
RICO statutes?
808
00:35:37,369 --> 00:35:38,393
Maybe.
809
00:35:38,470 --> 00:35:42,237
So, it certainly would not have been
helpful to Mr. Scarpio's legal position
810
00:35:42,641 --> 00:35:45,406
if Debra Landon
had gone to the press
811
00:35:45,910 --> 00:35:47,970
and told them about
your little agreement
812
00:35:48,046 --> 00:35:50,447
with respect to the pricing
of Mr. Rush's cement, huh?
813
00:36:01,726 --> 00:36:03,286
RUSH: First of all I
was being bled dry.
814
00:36:03,328 --> 00:36:06,526
I promised my investors I'd bring
the renovations in at $27 million,
815
00:36:07,098 --> 00:36:09,465
and between the cost of
cement and the delays in delivery
816
00:36:09,534 --> 00:36:10,734
it would have cost twice that.
817
00:36:11,336 --> 00:36:13,862
And you would do anything
to rectify the situation?
818
00:36:14,172 --> 00:36:15,800
If I wanted to
show a profit, yes.
819
00:36:16,374 --> 00:36:18,900
That's when Harvey Anchin
came to me with a proposition.
820
00:36:19,110 --> 00:36:22,444
Help his kid get into school and my
construction problems would disappear.
821
00:36:23,381 --> 00:36:24,713
How could I say no?
822
00:36:24,816 --> 00:36:26,284
So what did you do?
823
00:36:26,384 --> 00:36:28,963
It turned out the headmaster of this
school lived in one of the buildings I own.
824
00:36:28,987 --> 00:36:30,297
It was going co-op,
he wanted to buy.
825
00:36:30,321 --> 00:36:32,017
I don't understand, Mr. Rush.
826
00:36:32,424 --> 00:36:34,484
As an insider, Mr. Scofield
827
00:36:34,893 --> 00:36:38,523
is entitled by law to purchase
his own apartment, isn't that true?
828
00:36:38,797 --> 00:36:40,425
Of course. If he
could afford it.
829
00:36:40,665 --> 00:36:42,361
But he couldn't?
That's what he said.
830
00:36:42,867 --> 00:36:44,096
So you gave it to him?
831
00:36:44,169 --> 00:36:45,809
I paid for it from the
construction costs.
832
00:36:46,137 --> 00:36:47,332
Part of doing business.
833
00:36:47,405 --> 00:36:50,705
JACK: What would this particular
apartment go for on the open market?
834
00:36:51,209 --> 00:36:52,541
A million three.
835
00:36:54,746 --> 00:36:57,079
So, in exchange
for this apartment,
836
00:36:57,849 --> 00:37:01,877
Mr. Scofield arranged
for Harvey Anchin's son
837
00:37:02,287 --> 00:37:04,188
to be admitted to
the Knowles School.
838
00:37:04,522 --> 00:37:06,650
Look, this is the
way the world works.
839
00:37:07,592 --> 00:37:09,254
Maybe it's not right.
Maybe it's not fair.
840
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,800
But there's nothing
illegal about it.
841
00:37:18,770 --> 00:37:22,298
My mom shoved a box of
Crayolas in my pocket... Thanks.
842
00:37:23,341 --> 00:37:26,038
A peanut butter and jelly
sandwich in my lunch box
843
00:37:26,811 --> 00:37:28,370
and sent me on my way.
844
00:37:28,446 --> 00:37:31,006
I wonder how much of this has
to do with their kids' educations
845
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:33,278
and how much with the
stroking of their own egos.
846
00:37:33,418 --> 00:37:35,512
I can't imagine the private
school worth killing for.
847
00:37:35,587 --> 00:37:36,646
Or the apartment.
848
00:37:41,092 --> 00:37:44,324
We're about to find out. Scofield's
taking the stand in his own defense.
849
00:37:47,031 --> 00:37:49,398
Debra was a wonderful
admissions director.
850
00:37:49,467 --> 00:37:53,529
She cared passionately about
her job, the school, the students.
851
00:37:53,671 --> 00:37:54,730
ROTHENBERG: But?
852
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:57,280
Well, she'd held that
position for less than a year.
853
00:37:57,675 --> 00:37:58,853
And you felt that Jared Anchin
854
00:37:58,877 --> 00:38:01,039
was a better candidate
than Cassie Waters?
855
00:38:01,179 --> 00:38:02,477
Yes I do.
856
00:38:02,847 --> 00:38:05,282
All admissions are
ultimately at my discretion
857
00:38:07,085 --> 00:38:08,729
I know what Mr. McCoy
is trying to do here.
858
00:38:08,753 --> 00:38:11,245
He's trying to paint a picture
of some great conspiracy,
859
00:38:11,322 --> 00:38:12,466
but it just wasn't like that.
860
00:38:12,490 --> 00:38:15,153
I accepted a student
who in my best judgment
861
00:38:15,827 --> 00:38:18,126
was more than qualified
to attend Knowles.
862
00:38:19,197 --> 00:38:20,790
Did you kill Debra Landon?
863
00:38:21,533 --> 00:38:22,533
Why would I?
864
00:38:23,067 --> 00:38:25,901
Even if the board thought I'd
received some peripheral benefit
865
00:38:25,970 --> 00:38:27,370
from admitting Jared Anchin,
866
00:38:27,672 --> 00:38:30,301
clearly my 25 years of
loyal service at the school
867
00:38:30,942 --> 00:38:32,942
would have outweighed any
missteps I may have made.
868
00:38:33,778 --> 00:38:34,778
ROTHENBERG: Thank you.
869
00:38:37,682 --> 00:38:40,743
A million dollar apartment
is just a "peripheral benefit"?
870
00:38:41,452 --> 00:38:43,546
SCOFIELD: Well,
in our world it is.
871
00:38:43,621 --> 00:38:44,884
I'll tell you what,
872
00:38:45,423 --> 00:38:46,857
in my world, it's
called a bribe.
873
00:38:47,392 --> 00:38:48,519
In ours it is a gift.
874
00:38:49,060 --> 00:38:52,155
A gift is given without
consideration, Mr. Scofield.
875
00:38:52,463 --> 00:38:54,125
There is no quid pro quo.
876
00:38:54,632 --> 00:38:56,464
But you received an apartment
877
00:38:56,935 --> 00:39:00,702
in exchange for admitting Jared
Anchin to the Knowles School.
878
00:39:00,805 --> 00:39:01,805
Isn't that correct?
879
00:39:02,106 --> 00:39:04,473
I received nothing
from Mr. Anchin.
880
00:39:04,909 --> 00:39:07,811
Do you honestly think the
board would see that distinction?
881
00:39:08,146 --> 00:39:10,786
Anyone who thinks that the world
doesn't work with a nod and a wink
882
00:39:11,216 --> 00:39:12,878
and a handshake
between friends of friends
883
00:39:14,052 --> 00:39:15,111
is plainly naive.
884
00:39:15,286 --> 00:39:17,949
I guess that includes
Mr. Waters and his daughter.
885
00:39:18,489 --> 00:39:19,821
Well, I wouldn't know.
886
00:39:20,258 --> 00:39:21,556
And Debra Landon?
887
00:39:21,659 --> 00:39:22,820
Well, yes.
888
00:39:22,894 --> 00:39:26,558
That's why she accused you
of compromising the integrity
889
00:39:26,731 --> 00:39:28,222
of the admissions process?
890
00:39:28,533 --> 00:39:31,367
Well, Debra tended
to be overly dramatic.
891
00:39:31,669 --> 00:39:32,932
JACK: Still...
892
00:39:33,304 --> 00:39:35,136
Being accused by
one of your peers.
893
00:39:35,206 --> 00:39:36,504
She was not a peer.
894
00:39:37,408 --> 00:39:39,673
She was not part of
your world. That's right.
895
00:39:39,744 --> 00:39:41,076
She worked for you? Yes.
896
00:39:41,746 --> 00:39:43,226
Still it must have
been disconcerting?
897
00:39:43,581 --> 00:39:45,821
To be honest with you, I
didn't give it a second thought.
898
00:39:45,850 --> 00:39:47,375
And I'm sure the
board wouldn't either.
899
00:39:47,619 --> 00:39:49,713
Because of your years
of loyal service? Yes.
900
00:39:50,321 --> 00:39:53,814
And how much is that loyalty
worth on a yearly basis?
901
00:39:57,195 --> 00:39:59,824
Please, Mr. Scofield,
answer the question.
902
00:40:00,064 --> 00:40:01,999
What is your annual salary?
903
00:40:03,868 --> 00:40:04,868
$60,000.
904
00:40:05,270 --> 00:40:08,536
Roughly the equivalent of
three kindergarten tuitions.
905
00:40:10,241 --> 00:40:12,972
Sounds like you weren't
really part of their world either.
906
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,383
All those impressionable, young
minds that you molded over the years,
907
00:40:19,617 --> 00:40:22,610
minds that went on to
Princeton, Harvard, Yale,
908
00:40:23,021 --> 00:40:26,150
then law school, medical
School or Wall Street,
909
00:40:26,557 --> 00:40:30,255
where they got to
pay $20,000 a year
910
00:40:30,528 --> 00:40:33,123
to send their kids
to kindergarten.
911
00:40:35,333 --> 00:40:36,453
Don't you think it's ironic,
912
00:40:37,201 --> 00:40:40,228
that they owe it all to a
man who couldn't even afford
913
00:40:40,371 --> 00:40:42,169
to purchase his own apartment?
914
00:40:44,676 --> 00:40:47,578
Maybe they were just too
busy winking and nodding
915
00:40:47,845 --> 00:40:49,456
and shaking the hands
of friends of friends
916
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,541
to worry about the
man behind the men.
917
00:40:52,850 --> 00:40:54,580
Or, on the other hand,
918
00:40:55,253 --> 00:40:57,779
perhaps they just looked at you
919
00:40:58,890 --> 00:41:01,382
as someone who worked for them.
920
00:41:03,294 --> 00:41:05,263
Sort of the way you
looked at Debra Landon.
921
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:12,933
That school would
be nothing without me.
922
00:41:15,006 --> 00:41:16,599
And they owe you?
923
00:41:18,409 --> 00:41:19,502
Yes!
924
00:41:25,049 --> 00:41:26,049
Yes.
925
00:41:42,700 --> 00:41:44,912
Have you reached a verdict? JURY
FOREMAN: We have, Your Honor.
926
00:41:44,936 --> 00:41:46,199
How say you?
927
00:41:46,270 --> 00:41:48,296
On the count of Murder
in the Second Degree,
928
00:41:48,606 --> 00:41:50,404
we find the defendant guilty.
929
00:41:51,309 --> 00:41:54,074
JUDGE: Counsels to pick a date for
sentencing four to six weeks hence.
930
00:42:07,992 --> 00:42:10,985
Scofield has been standing
over the oven for twenty-five years.
931
00:42:11,095 --> 00:42:13,255
He thought it was about
time he got a taste of the pie.
932
00:42:13,564 --> 00:42:15,590
Now Scofield's
out and Anchin's in.
933
00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:18,645
That's gonna be a hard pill for the
parents at the Knowles School to swallow.
934
00:42:18,669 --> 00:42:20,035
Oh, they'll get over it.
935
00:42:20,972 --> 00:42:23,305
Once they forget about
where his money came from.
936
00:42:23,474 --> 00:42:24,999
JACK: It's the American way.
937
00:42:25,076 --> 00:42:27,671
Yesterday's robber baron
is tomorrows philanthropist.
938
00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:30,981
What you're really trying to say
is cash trumps merit every time.
939
00:42:31,516 --> 00:42:33,314
And twice on Sundays.
