1
00:00:01,575 --> 00:00:03,304
NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:03,377 --> 00:00:07,245
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:07,315 --> 00:00:09,146
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:09,216 --> 00:00:12,014
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:12,086 --> 00:00:13,781
These are their stories.
6
00:00:14,288 --> 00:00:17,156
Police operator 114.
Do you have a police emergency?
7
00:00:17,225 --> 00:00:18,283
WOMAN: Help me!
8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,759
What's wrong with you, ma'am?
9
00:00:19,895 --> 00:00:21,294
I'm hurt.
Please help me.
10
00:00:21,363 --> 00:00:25,026
What's your name? Ma'am?
What's your name?
11
00:00:26,034 --> 00:00:28,901
I need a two-seven
car for a possible 54.
12
00:00:29,371 --> 00:00:31,464
POLICEMAN: Two-seven Charlie.
You have the location?
13
00:00:32,774 --> 00:00:36,642
260 Beach Street. Four B.
Female call for help.
14
00:00:36,712 --> 00:00:39,078
Two-seven Charlie,
responding.
15
00:00:39,147 --> 00:00:40,979
Hello, ma'am, are you there?
16
00:00:42,852 --> 00:00:44,376
Are you there?
17
00:00:45,621 --> 00:00:47,646
BRISCOE: Looks like she
got it right here.
18
00:00:47,724 --> 00:00:50,249
Then crawled to the phone, and died.
19
00:00:50,460 --> 00:00:51,791
Who is she?
I don't know.
20
00:00:51,861 --> 00:00:53,294
She doesn't live
in the building.
21
00:00:53,363 --> 00:00:54,455
Who lives here?
22
00:00:54,530 --> 00:00:56,725
Mr. Evans and Ms. Posner.
Professional couple.
23
00:00:56,799 --> 00:00:59,393
She's a lawyer, he's a professor.
Writes books.
24
00:01:00,903 --> 00:01:03,428
"Charles Evans,
Small Fortunes.
25
00:01:03,573 --> 00:01:06,134
"A New York Times
Best Novel of the Year."
26
00:01:06,210 --> 00:01:08,542
He gave me one.
Didn't make any sense.
27
00:01:08,612 --> 00:01:09,874
CURTIS:
So, what do you got?
28
00:01:09,947 --> 00:01:14,782
Joni Timberman. Driver's license.
Health club. Photo of a cat.
29
00:01:14,852 --> 00:01:15,876
Cranial fractures?
30
00:01:15,953 --> 00:01:16,942
Looks like.
31
00:01:17,021 --> 00:01:20,718
Clothes all in order.
No indication of sexual assault.
32
00:01:20,791 --> 00:01:22,019
How'd she get in here?
33
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:23,421
This key was in
her coat pocket.
34
00:01:23,494 --> 00:01:25,052
It fits the front door.
35
00:01:25,129 --> 00:01:26,255
And you don't know who she is?
36
00:01:26,330 --> 00:01:29,356
Well, she must have been a friend of Mr.
Evans or Ms. Posner.
37
00:01:29,433 --> 00:01:30,661
And where are they now?
38
00:01:30,734 --> 00:01:32,464
She was around yesterday.
39
00:01:32,537 --> 00:01:35,438
I saw him with a suitcase,
day before, Friday.
40
00:01:35,507 --> 00:01:39,238
Somebody picked him up in a car.
He said he'd be back tonight.
41
00:01:39,310 --> 00:01:41,301
Detectives,
we got something outside.
42
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,344
In the dumpster.
Right on top.
43
00:01:47,852 --> 00:01:49,046
That could be blood.
44
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,884
Looks like a Giacometti.
If it is, it's valuable.
45
00:01:51,956 --> 00:01:55,050
And heavy. I bet it
packs a hell of a wallop.
46
00:02:44,478 --> 00:02:47,538
Yes, I know Joni Timberman.
She's an editor at East River Press.
47
00:02:47,614 --> 00:02:48,603
She work with your husband?
48
00:02:48,749 --> 00:02:49,773
Charles? We're not married.
49
00:02:49,851 --> 00:02:52,081
Yes, she's been his editor
for the last few months.
50
00:02:52,153 --> 00:02:54,121
Could this wait until I
put my briefcase down,
51
00:02:54,188 --> 00:02:55,485
get a cup of coffee?
52
00:02:55,556 --> 00:02:57,820
Ms. Timberman's
been murdered.
53
00:02:58,359 --> 00:03:02,261
Oh, my God. The poor girl.
54
00:03:02,330 --> 00:03:04,025
BRISCOE:
In your apartment.
55
00:03:04,832 --> 00:03:06,356
What?
Last night.
56
00:03:06,434 --> 00:03:08,231
We've been looking
for you and Mr. Evans.
57
00:03:08,302 --> 00:03:10,668
Well, he went to a Faulkner
Symposium at Vassar.
58
00:03:10,738 --> 00:03:13,206
Maybe he stayed over there.
Just let me try to call him.
59
00:03:13,274 --> 00:03:15,470
Just a minute
and we can all talk to him.
60
00:03:15,544 --> 00:03:17,876
Now, we understand
he was due home last night.
61
00:03:17,946 --> 00:03:19,470
Well, so he stayed over.
I hope.
62
00:03:19,548 --> 00:03:22,881
Ms. Posner, you mind telling
us where you were last night?
63
00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:26,882
Me? I was in Croton at our country
house doing a corporate tax return.
64
00:03:26,955 --> 00:03:29,617
I just drove in.
What happened to Joni, exactly?
65
00:03:29,691 --> 00:03:30,783
CURTIS:
Were you by yourself?
66
00:03:30,859 --> 00:03:33,157
Yes. What was she doing
at our apartment?
67
00:03:33,295 --> 00:03:34,455
Why won't you tell
me what happened?
68
00:03:34,530 --> 00:03:37,124
She was hit on the head
and she died.
69
00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:39,667
We were hoping you could tell
us what she was doing there.
70
00:03:39,768 --> 00:03:40,793
(SIGHS)
71
00:03:40,870 --> 00:03:42,201
I have no idea.
72
00:03:42,338 --> 00:03:43,669
She had a key.
73
00:03:43,740 --> 00:03:47,301
She did? Maybe Charles
could've given her one.
74
00:03:47,377 --> 00:03:51,677
Your stay in Croton, did Mr.
Evans know you were gonna be there last night?
75
00:03:53,049 --> 00:03:56,576
And you think that he arranged an
assignation with Joni Timberman?
76
00:03:56,653 --> 00:03:59,315
I have lived with Charles for three years.
That is not possible.
77
00:04:00,056 --> 00:04:01,387
Excuse me.
78
00:04:01,457 --> 00:04:03,789
Latent couldn't lift any
prints off the sculpture,
79
00:04:03,860 --> 00:04:06,762
but it is the murder weapon.
Blood matches the victim's.
80
00:04:06,830 --> 00:04:09,264
You find out what she was
doing in that apartment?
81
00:04:09,333 --> 00:04:11,028
The lady of the house
is dumbfounded.
82
00:04:11,101 --> 00:04:12,898
Could be she shows
up to work with Evans,
83
00:04:13,037 --> 00:04:14,868
some mope off the street
follows her inside.
84
00:04:14,939 --> 00:04:17,373
A book editor on
a Sunday night house call?
85
00:04:17,441 --> 00:04:20,968
Evans' girlfriend says there couldn't
possibly have been any hanky-panky.
86
00:04:21,045 --> 00:04:22,205
Yeah, right.
87
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,268
(PHONE RINGING)
88
00:04:23,981 --> 00:04:25,346
Van Buren.
89
00:04:27,384 --> 00:04:28,578
Thanks.
90
00:04:28,953 --> 00:04:30,921
The wandering
professor just got home.
91
00:04:31,690 --> 00:04:33,385
Why can't I get
into the apartment?
92
00:04:33,458 --> 00:04:36,586
Well, we're still sorting through
a few things, professor.
93
00:04:36,661 --> 00:04:39,129
We understand you were
due back last night?
94
00:04:39,197 --> 00:04:43,156
Yeah, well, the symposium ran late.
I missed the last train.
95
00:04:43,235 --> 00:04:45,260
I stayed at
a friend's house in Rhinebeck.
96
00:04:45,337 --> 00:04:47,032
Well, we'll have to confirm
that with your friend.
97
00:04:47,105 --> 00:04:50,040
He wasn't there.
He came back to the city ahead of me.
98
00:04:50,108 --> 00:04:53,669
Is there anybody who can place
you in Rhinebeck last night?
99
00:04:53,745 --> 00:04:55,736
You can't be serious.
100
00:04:59,318 --> 00:05:03,516
Here's my train ticket. Call Grand Central.
It arrived an hour ago.
101
00:05:03,589 --> 00:05:05,853
Ms. Timberman was killed
with a piece of sculpture.
102
00:05:05,925 --> 00:05:08,257
About three feet long, bronze.
103
00:05:08,327 --> 00:05:10,625
She was hit with it?
Just inside the door.
104
00:05:12,832 --> 00:05:15,323
I inherited that
piece from my father.
105
00:05:15,401 --> 00:05:16,868
Where is it?
Crime lab.
106
00:05:16,936 --> 00:05:18,733
Will I get it back?
107
00:05:18,804 --> 00:05:21,170
Ms. Timberman meant
that much to you, huh?
108
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,472
I liked and respected her.
I'm sorry she's dead.
109
00:05:25,212 --> 00:05:28,909
Forgive me if I don't show it like
some other people you deal with.
110
00:05:28,982 --> 00:05:32,418
You "liked and respected"?
Is that all?
111
00:05:32,486 --> 00:05:35,319
That's a lot.
I don't like and respect many people.
112
00:05:35,389 --> 00:05:37,448
So she was special to you?
113
00:05:38,558 --> 00:05:40,150
Not in the way
you're insinuating.
114
00:05:40,294 --> 00:05:41,886
Then why'd you
give her your key?
115
00:05:43,230 --> 00:05:47,030
I didn't give her the key.
I left it for her over the door.
116
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:49,433
She wanted to pick up a
manuscript I'd just finished.
117
00:05:49,504 --> 00:05:52,064
Joni was a very
enthusiastic editor.
118
00:05:56,110 --> 00:05:59,307
She started as my assistant
right out of Brown.
119
00:06:00,014 --> 00:06:04,110
She didn't have any family in
New York, so mine adopted her.
120
00:06:04,185 --> 00:06:06,244
Christmas, Thanksgiving.
121
00:06:06,387 --> 00:06:08,480
When was the last time
you spoke to her?
122
00:06:09,824 --> 00:06:11,724
Saturday afternoon.
123
00:06:11,793 --> 00:06:15,252
She wanted a second printing
of a literary novel.
124
00:06:15,998 --> 00:06:19,525
She knew if we had more books
out, we'd promote more.
125
00:06:19,601 --> 00:06:22,900
She talked me
into it, as usual.
126
00:06:22,971 --> 00:06:24,734
Anything else?
127
00:06:24,807 --> 00:06:29,471
Well, she said she'd be at a Book
Critics' awards dinner that night.
128
00:06:29,545 --> 00:06:33,982
One of her authors was nominated.
But she didn't show.
129
00:06:35,551 --> 00:06:37,314
BRISCOE:
And you don't know why?
130
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,186
I never talked to her again.
131
00:06:40,256 --> 00:06:41,746
Did she have a boyfriend?
132
00:06:41,825 --> 00:06:43,759
Well, I don't know
of anyone special.
133
00:06:43,827 --> 00:06:45,260
CURTIS: Money problems?
No.
134
00:06:45,528 --> 00:06:48,554
Angry or rejected authors?
Did she use drugs?
135
00:06:48,631 --> 00:06:49,689
No.
136
00:06:50,033 --> 00:06:52,968
She's too smart and ambitious.
137
00:06:53,703 --> 00:06:57,662
She wanted her own imprint.
She would have had it.
138
00:06:57,741 --> 00:06:59,936
With Charles Evans' help?
139
00:07:00,009 --> 00:07:02,307
His next book
could be the big one.
140
00:07:02,379 --> 00:07:05,041
Well, we've all been looking
forward to it for two years.
141
00:07:05,115 --> 00:07:08,552
BRISCOE: His girlfriend told us Ms.
Timberman had only been his editor for a few months.
142
00:07:08,619 --> 00:07:12,077
That's right.
He'd been with Timothy Stevens.
143
00:07:12,156 --> 00:07:16,752
But, well, he switched.
The request came from his agent.
144
00:07:17,395 --> 00:07:19,659
You think Charles was banging
Joni Timberman?
145
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:21,095
What do you think?
146
00:07:21,165 --> 00:07:23,793
I think she was the smartest
editor at East River.
147
00:07:23,868 --> 00:07:26,530
She appreciated literature, and
she understood the market.
148
00:07:26,604 --> 00:07:28,037
An author's dream.
149
00:07:28,105 --> 00:07:30,699
Charles thought enough of her
to switch after three books.
150
00:07:30,775 --> 00:07:32,573
And just as he was
ready to break out.
151
00:07:32,644 --> 00:07:36,512
His next novel is terrific.
A mock-memoir about incest.
152
00:07:38,183 --> 00:07:40,811
Was changing editors
your idea or Evans'
153
00:07:40,886 --> 00:07:41,944
Hers.
154
00:07:42,020 --> 00:07:45,114
Joni called me to see if Charles
was interested in making the move.
155
00:07:45,190 --> 00:07:49,490
Away from another editor in her company?
Is that how publishing plays?
156
00:07:49,561 --> 00:07:52,359
Don't you steal good cases
from other detectives?
157
00:07:52,431 --> 00:07:54,422
I try to get
them to steal mine.
158
00:07:54,499 --> 00:07:57,093
How did Evans' old editor
like being poached?
159
00:07:57,169 --> 00:07:58,262
He didn't like it.
160
00:07:58,337 --> 00:08:01,397
Timothy said, "If I went through
with it, I'd be dead in this town."
161
00:08:01,474 --> 00:08:02,634
Could he ruin your career?
162
00:08:02,708 --> 00:08:05,506
That little pisher?
Not unless he shot me.
163
00:08:06,612 --> 00:08:08,739
I spot a short story
in a literary quarterly,
164
00:08:08,881 --> 00:08:11,008
track down the writer,
get him an advance,
165
00:08:11,083 --> 00:08:12,675
nurse him through two
or three gem-like books
166
00:08:12,752 --> 00:08:14,447
that sell 4,000 copies.
167
00:08:14,654 --> 00:08:15,951
He's finally ready to go uptown
168
00:08:16,022 --> 00:08:17,922
and suddenly it's Joni
Timberman to the rescue.
169
00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:20,049
And that's the way it went
with Charles Evans?
170
00:08:20,126 --> 00:08:24,257
Charles Evans and Jeffrey Weiss
and Josh Fields. Ingrates.
171
00:08:24,331 --> 00:08:25,764
I used to treat them
to editorial lunches
172
00:08:25,833 --> 00:08:28,199
so they could take the
leftovers home for dinner.
173
00:08:28,268 --> 00:08:31,396
And what did Joni Timberman do?
Buy them extra desserts?
174
00:08:31,472 --> 00:08:32,871
The world's
greatest editor, right?
175
00:08:32,940 --> 00:08:36,239
Literary yet commercial.
Sensitivity plus dollars.
176
00:08:36,310 --> 00:08:38,369
Well, that's what we heard.
177
00:08:38,445 --> 00:08:40,572
Did you also hear she offered
some authors services
178
00:08:40,647 --> 00:08:42,512
only a female
editor could provide?
179
00:08:42,583 --> 00:08:43,607
Is that a fact?
180
00:08:43,684 --> 00:08:46,312
Not one I can prove.
But it would explain a few things.
181
00:08:46,386 --> 00:08:48,616
Just for the record,
where were you last night?
182
00:08:48,689 --> 00:08:51,488
Home. Alone.
Reading the Kenyon Review.
183
00:08:55,697 --> 00:08:58,495
I was talking to my
rabbi all morning about
184
00:08:58,566 --> 00:09:01,000
why bad things
happen to good people.
185
00:09:01,069 --> 00:09:03,333
Thirty years on the job
and I couldn't tell you.
186
00:09:03,404 --> 00:09:05,929
Aren't you novelists supposed
to have all the answers?
187
00:09:06,007 --> 00:09:09,943
Not since Henry James.
You must read a lot of old books, Detective.
188
00:09:10,011 --> 00:09:12,878
Zane Grey.
He knew what was going on.
189
00:09:12,947 --> 00:09:14,973
Mr. Weiss,
we were wondering about
190
00:09:15,117 --> 00:09:17,176
your relationship
with Joni Timberman.
191
00:09:17,253 --> 00:09:20,484
Close.
Joni was a wonderful editor.
192
00:09:21,724 --> 00:09:23,658
She helped me find my voice.
193
00:09:23,726 --> 00:09:25,921
Timothy Stevens
didn't know where to look?
194
00:09:27,229 --> 00:09:31,996
He's smart, but my writing
objectifies emotions.
195
00:09:32,668 --> 00:09:35,432
I needed an editor
with an emotional compass.
196
00:09:35,504 --> 00:09:39,736
So you and Joni Timberman, your
emotions just sort of meshed?
197
00:09:40,677 --> 00:09:44,511
I'm gay.
Our emotions meshed.
198
00:09:45,348 --> 00:09:47,714
The other parts
weren't compatible.
199
00:09:47,784 --> 00:09:51,720
CURTIS: How did Timothy Stevens feel
when you dropped him for Ms. Timberman?
200
00:09:51,788 --> 00:09:53,312
His feelings were hurt.
201
00:09:53,390 --> 00:09:57,918
How did he act? Did he make any threats?
Just predictions.
202
00:09:58,728 --> 00:10:02,664
He said Joni wouldn't know how to
find marketing support for my book.
203
00:10:02,732 --> 00:10:04,029
He was wrong.
204
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:05,829
What else did he
say about Joni?
205
00:10:05,970 --> 00:10:07,699
I don't know.
206
00:10:09,740 --> 00:10:12,937
She told me he'd followed her
home from work one night.
207
00:10:13,010 --> 00:10:14,978
They had some
kind of an argument.
208
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,677
She was very upset.
209
00:10:18,849 --> 00:10:23,548
My husband and I live upstairs.
Joni used to bring us books.
210
00:10:23,621 --> 00:10:26,181
History for Mr. Krinsky.
Mystery for me.
211
00:10:26,757 --> 00:10:29,351
I'm taking care of the cat.
Poor thing.
212
00:10:29,827 --> 00:10:31,625
You ever see this guy
hanging around here?
213
00:10:31,697 --> 00:10:34,427
Yeah.
Who is that? A boyfriend?
214
00:10:35,067 --> 00:10:36,364
What makes you say that?
215
00:10:36,435 --> 00:10:40,132
I saw him arguing with Joni in
front of the building last week.
216
00:10:40,205 --> 00:10:44,369
I couldn't hear the words, but it
looked like boyfriend-girlfriend.
217
00:10:44,443 --> 00:10:46,070
I have a sixth sense
for these things.
218
00:10:46,144 --> 00:10:48,009
Did Joni ever talk to you
about her personal life?
219
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,207
I tried to fix her up
with my nephew once.
220
00:10:50,282 --> 00:10:53,046
She made an excuse.
He's a dentist.
221
00:10:53,352 --> 00:10:55,877
We'll give you back the key
as soon as we finish. Oh.
222
00:10:57,757 --> 00:11:00,282
Timothy and Joni?
I don't think so.
223
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,588
Come on, Rey.
224
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:05,153
She's got a sixth sense about these things.
She wouldn't make this up.
225
00:11:05,231 --> 00:11:08,257
Anything?
About 6,000 books.
226
00:11:08,334 --> 00:11:10,529
Where'd she get the time
to read all these things?
227
00:11:10,603 --> 00:11:14,562
Looks like she had a little spare time.
Diaphragm.
228
00:11:16,275 --> 00:11:19,836
"What you need to know before
starting to take the pill."
229
00:11:20,980 --> 00:11:22,971
Suspenders and a belt.
230
00:11:27,154 --> 00:11:28,143
Oh!
231
00:11:28,322 --> 00:11:30,847
I was just waiting to see
if you needed anything else.
232
00:11:30,924 --> 00:11:32,789
Tell me something,
is that a new lock?
233
00:11:32,860 --> 00:11:37,194
Joni had that put in
last week. It cost $200.
234
00:11:37,264 --> 00:11:39,528
I guess she was
worried about something.
235
00:11:40,634 --> 00:11:42,932
You follow her home
and argue with her.
236
00:11:43,070 --> 00:11:45,402
The next day she
has a new lock.
237
00:11:45,472 --> 00:11:47,201
What did you say
to her, Timothy?
238
00:11:47,274 --> 00:11:49,505
I didn't follow her.
We bumped into each other by chance.
239
00:11:49,577 --> 00:11:53,570
Yeah? Eight million people in this city.
That's quite a coincidence.
240
00:11:53,648 --> 00:11:55,343
I was going to a restaurant
in her neighborhood.
241
00:11:55,417 --> 00:11:57,578
How about Sunday afternoon?
242
00:11:57,652 --> 00:12:00,280
Did you bump into her again
outside of Evans' loft?
243
00:12:00,355 --> 00:12:01,913
I told you.
I was home that night.
244
00:12:01,990 --> 00:12:03,014
Yeah. Alone.
245
00:12:03,458 --> 00:12:04,482
Doing my job.
246
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,859
Joni Timberman was kicking your ass at
your job, and you couldn't take it.
247
00:12:09,898 --> 00:12:10,956
Give me a break.
248
00:12:11,032 --> 00:12:13,466
The only way you could justify
losing out to her was to make up
249
00:12:13,535 --> 00:12:15,834
that story about her
seducing your writers.
250
00:12:15,905 --> 00:12:19,341
Joni wasn't screwing them, Timothy.
They were screwing you.
251
00:12:19,408 --> 00:12:21,876
I saw Charles Evans'
hand under her blouse.
252
00:12:21,944 --> 00:12:23,536
I don't think he
was looking for typos.
253
00:12:23,612 --> 00:12:25,443
Why didn't we hear this before?
254
00:12:25,514 --> 00:12:27,414
Charles needs a new editor now.
255
00:12:27,483 --> 00:12:29,451
I'd rather have him writing
than fending off the police.
256
00:12:29,518 --> 00:12:32,282
He needs a new editor
because his old one is dead.
257
00:12:32,354 --> 00:12:33,548
It's called a motive.
258
00:12:33,622 --> 00:12:34,987
If I killed every
editor I competed with,
259
00:12:35,257 --> 00:12:37,282
this would be a pretty
small literary community.
260
00:12:37,359 --> 00:12:40,796
Yeah. Timothyville.
You'd like that, wouldn't you?
261
00:12:40,864 --> 00:12:42,229
This is insane.
262
00:12:42,833 --> 00:12:43,925
If I'd wanted to kill Joni,
263
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,433
I could have killed
her Saturday afternoon
264
00:12:45,502 --> 00:12:47,129
in the convenience
of my own office.
265
00:12:47,471 --> 00:12:48,631
We were both working,
266
00:12:48,705 --> 00:12:51,435
and she borrowed my advance
copy of the spring catalogue.
267
00:12:51,508 --> 00:12:54,443
What did you say to her, Timothy?
Did you threaten her again?
268
00:12:54,511 --> 00:12:58,174
I said, " There's the catalogue.
Bring it back when you're done."
269
00:12:58,248 --> 00:13:01,684
If you don't believe me, ask my assistant.
She was outside the door.
270
00:13:02,753 --> 00:13:04,516
It was pretty intimidating.
271
00:13:04,588 --> 00:13:06,454
Joni was only a couple
of years older than me,
272
00:13:06,524 --> 00:13:08,389
and she was practically
running this place.
273
00:13:08,459 --> 00:13:11,622
I gather your boss
was a little intimidated, too.
274
00:13:11,696 --> 00:13:13,857
I'm trying to get reassigned.
275
00:13:13,931 --> 00:13:16,365
He's not really interested
in training new editors.
276
00:13:16,434 --> 00:13:18,800
Did you see him with Joni
Timberman Saturday afternoon?
277
00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:22,067
Yeah. She went into his office.
I didn't hear what they said,
278
00:13:22,140 --> 00:13:24,700
but after a few minutes,
Joni came running out.
279
00:13:24,776 --> 00:13:26,334
She was pale white.
280
00:13:26,410 --> 00:13:28,435
Was it something
Stevens said or did?
281
00:13:28,980 --> 00:13:30,504
Maybe that, too.
I don't know.
282
00:13:30,581 --> 00:13:32,345
What do you mean, "that, too"?
283
00:13:32,651 --> 00:13:35,484
I saw her in the ladies' room
a few minutes later.
284
00:13:35,554 --> 00:13:38,216
She was having
a woman's problem.
285
00:13:38,290 --> 00:13:41,384
Bleeding. Took 20
minutes for it to stop.
286
00:13:42,761 --> 00:13:45,059
I don't think Timothy
was responsible for that.
287
00:13:45,130 --> 00:13:47,928
No. I want to talk to
Timberman's gynecologist.
288
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,900
The diaphragm and
the pill pamphlet.
289
00:13:49,968 --> 00:13:52,869
A girl might change her birth control
after she's had an accident.
290
00:13:52,938 --> 00:13:54,303
You think she was pregnant?
291
00:13:54,373 --> 00:13:57,707
The heavy bleeding?
I think she had an abortion.
292
00:14:01,815 --> 00:14:04,010
I can't just give you
a patient's history.
293
00:14:04,083 --> 00:14:05,744
She was murdered, Doc.
294
00:14:05,819 --> 00:14:08,481
You want us to wait in line in
Surrogate Court for an order
295
00:14:08,555 --> 00:14:11,217
while her killer walks around
town drinking cappuccinos?
296
00:14:11,291 --> 00:14:14,192
You think it was someone she
was intimately involved with?
297
00:14:14,260 --> 00:14:17,286
She wasn't mugged.
She wasn't a drug dealer.
298
00:14:17,363 --> 00:14:20,025
In cases like this,
it's usually somebody close.
299
00:14:20,867 --> 00:14:22,129
Did you meet the guy?
300
00:14:22,202 --> 00:14:24,364
No. She came in for
the procedure alone.
301
00:14:24,605 --> 00:14:28,735
Not too many of my patients do.
She never mentioned a name.
302
00:14:29,210 --> 00:14:31,974
How about the pregnancy test?
Did she come in alone for that, too?
303
00:14:32,046 --> 00:14:34,810
Yes. And she was
more shaken up by that.
304
00:14:35,149 --> 00:14:39,984
She didn't believe what the home test said.
It wasn't supposed to happen.
305
00:14:40,054 --> 00:14:42,249
She got right on the phone
and called somebody.
306
00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:47,159
Yes. She called me
from the doctor's office.
307
00:14:47,228 --> 00:14:48,856
To say hi?
308
00:14:49,431 --> 00:14:52,400
I won't insult you if
you don't insult me.
309
00:14:52,467 --> 00:14:55,698
She was pregnant.
I was the father.
310
00:14:56,571 --> 00:14:59,699
You told us there was nothing
going on between you two.
311
00:14:59,774 --> 00:15:02,334
I didn't think my relationship
with Joni was your concern.
312
00:15:02,410 --> 00:15:04,878
A witness lies to me,
it's my concern.
313
00:15:04,946 --> 00:15:09,042
Diane didn't know about Joni.
She doesn't know about Joni.
314
00:15:09,784 --> 00:15:12,412
I couldn't count on you
to be discreet, could I?
315
00:15:12,487 --> 00:15:15,980
She doesn't know?
So what're you doing camped out here?
316
00:15:16,058 --> 00:15:19,858
An old friend was kind enough to take
me in while my carpets are redone.
317
00:15:19,929 --> 00:15:24,298
The blood soaked clear
through to the flooring.
318
00:15:26,235 --> 00:15:28,226
Is Ms. Posner
staying here, too?
319
00:15:28,304 --> 00:15:33,401
No. At her house in Croton.
She doesn't mind the commute.
320
00:15:34,343 --> 00:15:36,140
You really think
she didn't know?
321
00:15:36,212 --> 00:15:38,772
Hey, not everybody
runs home and tells, Rey.
322
00:15:38,848 --> 00:15:41,147
Women know these things, Lennie.
They can smell it.
323
00:15:41,218 --> 00:15:43,311
We come down on
her and we're wrong,
324
00:15:43,387 --> 00:15:46,254
we could be breaking up
one very snooty couple.
325
00:15:46,323 --> 00:15:48,655
It might actually ruin
my sleep for minutes.
326
00:15:48,725 --> 00:15:50,659
So, Joni Timberman
has an abortion.
327
00:15:50,794 --> 00:15:52,762
Charles Evans
takes off one way,
328
00:15:52,829 --> 00:15:56,196
his other girlfriend takes off on
her own because she has to work?
329
00:15:56,266 --> 00:15:57,733
Let's find out
how busy she was.
330
00:15:58,535 --> 00:16:01,265
Listen, Jane, I could
really use your help here.
331
00:16:01,338 --> 00:16:03,738
I told you, I never heard
of this Joni Timberman.
332
00:16:03,807 --> 00:16:05,741
And I just work
for Ms. Posner,
333
00:16:05,809 --> 00:16:07,072
we're not exactly girlfriends.
334
00:16:07,145 --> 00:16:10,171
Yeah, but you see her every day.
You know what's going on.
335
00:16:10,248 --> 00:16:13,274
And I got to say, you strike me
as a very perceptive person.
336
00:16:14,252 --> 00:16:15,685
It's a good thing
you're good-looking, honey,
337
00:16:15,753 --> 00:16:17,414
if that's the best
line you can come up with.
338
00:16:17,488 --> 00:16:19,149
Sadly, it is.
339
00:16:19,223 --> 00:16:21,589
All right, so help me out
because I'm pathetic.
340
00:16:21,659 --> 00:16:24,059
How were things going with
Ms. Posner and Mr. Evans?
341
00:16:24,128 --> 00:16:27,996
Vacations in Tuscany, dinner at Elaine's.
She wasn't exactly suffering.
342
00:16:28,066 --> 00:16:30,398
Anything unusual
happen last Friday?
343
00:16:30,468 --> 00:16:34,405
He called in the morning, they talked for a while.
About what, I don't know.
344
00:16:34,473 --> 00:16:36,703
Then she asked me to hold her
calls for about an hour.
345
00:16:36,775 --> 00:16:38,709
BRISCOE: Was that unusual?
Not really.
346
00:16:38,777 --> 00:16:42,269
But then she gave me two tickets for Rent.
Saturday night.
347
00:16:42,348 --> 00:16:44,248
Said she couldn't use them.
348
00:16:44,316 --> 00:16:48,116
Wish you'd been around.
I had to take my cousin.
349
00:16:49,121 --> 00:16:50,748
Those tickets are
hard to come by.
350
00:16:50,889 --> 00:16:52,516
That was a major
change in plans.
351
00:16:52,591 --> 00:16:53,751
I just talked to the organizer
352
00:16:53,826 --> 00:16:55,350
of that symposium
Evans went to.
353
00:16:55,427 --> 00:16:57,555
He didn't pre-register,
he just showed up.
354
00:16:57,630 --> 00:17:00,030
And now they're sleeping
in separate bedrooms?
355
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:01,727
In separate counties.
356
00:17:01,801 --> 00:17:04,167
Well, Evans says they're
still a committed couple.
357
00:17:04,237 --> 00:17:08,264
Nothing like fathering another woman's
child to cement a relationship.
358
00:17:08,341 --> 00:17:10,707
Almost as good as panties
in the glove compartment.
359
00:17:10,777 --> 00:17:13,041
Posner spent the weekend
at her country house?
360
00:17:13,113 --> 00:17:16,571
Take a ride to Westchester.
The dogwoods are in bloom.
361
00:17:21,287 --> 00:17:23,756
We've known Diane ever since
she was a little girl.
362
00:17:23,824 --> 00:17:27,521
She used to come across the
street to sled in our backyard.
363
00:17:27,595 --> 00:17:30,792
Everything pink,
boots to mittens.
364
00:17:30,865 --> 00:17:32,230
Do her parents
still live there?
365
00:17:32,299 --> 00:17:35,393
Walter died.
Evelyn moved to Florida.
366
00:17:36,037 --> 00:17:39,473
Lake Worth, I think.
West Palm Beach.
367
00:17:40,508 --> 00:17:43,272
I want to die up here,
in the snow.
368
00:17:44,145 --> 00:17:47,512
Thank you. Evelyn
gave the house to Diane,
369
00:17:47,581 --> 00:17:50,016
and she lived in it all
the time she was married.
370
00:17:50,085 --> 00:17:51,211
And then she got divorced,
371
00:17:51,286 --> 00:17:53,914
and she just took the boy and
she went back into Manhattan.
372
00:17:53,989 --> 00:17:55,718
I didn't see a kid's
room in her apartment.
373
00:17:55,857 --> 00:17:57,620
He's in boarding school now.
374
00:17:57,692 --> 00:18:01,253
He could have gone to perfectly
good public schools right here.
375
00:18:02,130 --> 00:18:04,928
I don't get it.
What's wrong with the suburbs?
376
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,334
That's what I always say.
Did either of you see Diane last weekend?
377
00:18:09,404 --> 00:18:11,531
Well, she comes up
weekends sometimes,
378
00:18:11,673 --> 00:18:13,834
but never with that
boyfriend of hers.
379
00:18:13,909 --> 00:18:16,276
He told me crickets
give him a headache.
380
00:18:16,345 --> 00:18:19,405
I saw her on Saturday,
in the village.
381
00:18:19,482 --> 00:18:22,542
She walked right by me.
Deep thoughts, I guess.
382
00:18:22,618 --> 00:18:23,607
What about Sunday?
383
00:18:23,686 --> 00:18:28,350
Well, I took over some carrot
bran muffins around dinnertime.
384
00:18:28,925 --> 00:18:30,654
But her car wasn't there.
385
00:18:30,726 --> 00:18:34,321
She must have gone back early
to beat the traffic.
386
00:18:34,397 --> 00:18:37,889
Would you like to have some muffins?
Oh, my goodness.
387
00:18:37,967 --> 00:18:41,165
Your insides are gonna be
thanking you for days.
388
00:18:41,305 --> 00:18:43,865
Mmm! Great muffins.
389
00:18:43,941 --> 00:18:47,001
So, Diane told us she didn't
go back to town till Monday.
390
00:18:47,077 --> 00:18:49,011
Maybe she just
ran out for dinner.
391
00:18:49,079 --> 00:18:51,604
Or back into town to murder
Joni Timberman.
392
00:18:52,349 --> 00:18:54,943
You know, there was a lot of
blood at that crime scene.
393
00:18:55,018 --> 00:18:57,816
Maybe some of it found
its way into her car.
394
00:18:59,756 --> 00:19:01,781
What happens when
Ms. Posner calls for her car?
395
00:19:01,859 --> 00:19:03,793
You tell her it's
in police custody.
396
00:19:03,861 --> 00:19:05,692
She's a lawyer.
She's gonna sue.
397
00:19:05,762 --> 00:19:07,628
That's why we gave you
a copy of the warrant.
398
00:19:07,699 --> 00:19:09,496
This is bad.
399
00:19:09,567 --> 00:19:12,195
Hey, Rey, isn't that
one of those E-ZPasses
400
00:19:12,270 --> 00:19:13,498
they use for going
through the tolls?
401
00:19:13,571 --> 00:19:14,833
Yeah, you ever see
the lines coming back
402
00:19:14,906 --> 00:19:16,134
from a weekend in the country?
403
00:19:16,207 --> 00:19:18,732
On Monday mornings,
I usually take a chopper.
404
00:19:19,878 --> 00:19:23,974
The neighbor, the secretary,
everything's consistent with a break-up.
405
00:19:24,048 --> 00:19:27,017
Forensics are sorting through
hairs and fibers from her car.
406
00:19:27,085 --> 00:19:28,746
So far, no blood.
407
00:19:28,820 --> 00:19:31,688
The E-ZPass log
for Posner's Volvo.
408
00:19:32,391 --> 00:19:34,859
Toll electronically
paid Sunday night, 6:18,
409
00:19:34,927 --> 00:19:37,361
coming through the Henry
Hudson plaza, in-bound.
410
00:19:37,429 --> 00:19:40,887
Nine minutes after 10:00, toll
paid going back to Westchester.
411
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,124
Bring her in.
412
00:19:43,969 --> 00:19:45,834
I've been
an attorney for 14 years,
413
00:19:45,971 --> 00:19:47,871
I've never seen the inside
of a police station.
414
00:19:47,940 --> 00:19:50,408
Well, we try to put
in a few homey touches.
415
00:19:50,476 --> 00:19:53,877
You'll have to try harder.
I'll give you five minutes.
416
00:19:53,946 --> 00:19:57,348
That's all we'll need, if you
tell us the truth this time.
417
00:19:57,417 --> 00:20:00,284
All right. I love Charles.
Charles loves me.
418
00:20:00,353 --> 00:20:02,878
I don't know who killed
Joni Timberman. Okay?
419
00:20:05,425 --> 00:20:08,986
One out of three, Ms. Posner.
In our business, that's not too good.
420
00:20:09,062 --> 00:20:10,825
He dropped you
for another woman.
421
00:20:10,964 --> 00:20:12,727
Oh, here we go.
422
00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:18,635
Joni Timberman had an abortion last week.
Charles Evans was the father.
423
00:20:20,207 --> 00:20:21,401
That's ridiculous.
424
00:20:21,541 --> 00:20:22,769
He admitted it.
425
00:20:24,078 --> 00:20:27,070
Even if it's true, that doesn't
mean he's dropping me.
426
00:20:27,748 --> 00:20:29,147
Take a seat.
427
00:20:29,817 --> 00:20:32,342
So what happened to your
theater plans last weekend?
428
00:20:32,420 --> 00:20:33,785
I had work to do.
429
00:20:33,921 --> 00:20:35,286
So you suddenly had work to do.
430
00:20:35,356 --> 00:20:38,519
And he suddenly had to go
pontificate about William Faulkner.
431
00:20:38,593 --> 00:20:40,390
You're still not
sleeping under the same roof.
432
00:20:40,461 --> 00:20:43,624
We don't need to see each other every
minute to maintain a relationship.
433
00:20:43,698 --> 00:20:45,461
BRISCOE:
It hurts, I know.
434
00:20:45,533 --> 00:20:48,867
He gave you the news, you
got the hell away from him.
435
00:20:48,937 --> 00:20:50,700
Then you stewed about it,
436
00:20:50,772 --> 00:20:53,206
then you drove back
to try to patch things up.
437
00:20:53,275 --> 00:20:56,608
And who strolls into your apartment?
She does.
438
00:20:57,012 --> 00:20:58,274
I was in Croton.
439
00:20:58,347 --> 00:20:59,905
Well, your car was
in Manhattan.
440
00:21:00,315 --> 00:21:02,249
Do you want to see the toll
records that prove that?
441
00:21:02,317 --> 00:21:04,217
It must have made you crazy
when she walked in.
442
00:21:04,286 --> 00:21:05,548
We can understand that.
443
00:21:05,621 --> 00:21:09,523
You don't understand anything.
I'm going back to my office.
444
00:21:12,027 --> 00:21:13,585
Diane, what's this all about?
445
00:21:13,662 --> 00:21:17,190
This is one of those good
news-bad news things, Ms. Posner.
446
00:21:17,267 --> 00:21:20,759
This is your lawyer.
And we just got a report from forensics.
447
00:21:20,837 --> 00:21:23,431
They found Joni Timberman's
hair in your car.
448
00:21:23,506 --> 00:21:26,134
This interrogation
is over. Now.
449
00:21:26,209 --> 00:21:29,042
Right.
She's under arrest. Lennie.
450
00:21:29,112 --> 00:21:30,545
Diane Posner,
you're under arrest
451
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,113
for the murder
of Joni Timberman.
452
00:21:32,181 --> 00:21:34,376
You have the right
to remain silent.
453
00:21:34,450 --> 00:21:36,008
Anything you do say can and will be...
Charles...
454
00:21:36,085 --> 00:21:38,144
used against you
in a court of law.
455
00:21:43,494 --> 00:21:48,056
"Docket number 45298.
People against Diane Posner.
456
00:21:48,132 --> 00:21:49,394
"Murder in
the Second Degree."
457
00:21:49,466 --> 00:21:50,558
Not guilty, Your Honor.
458
00:21:51,035 --> 00:21:53,094
People on bail.
The defendant is charged
459
00:21:53,170 --> 00:21:55,434
with intentional murder
of her companion's mistress.
460
00:21:55,506 --> 00:21:57,201
The People request remand.
461
00:21:57,274 --> 00:21:59,071
My client is a member
of the bar, Your Honor.
462
00:21:59,143 --> 00:22:01,441
She has no intent
to evade prosecution.
463
00:22:01,512 --> 00:22:03,503
I give my word as
an officer of this court.
464
00:22:03,580 --> 00:22:06,641
This officer of the court
crushed a young woman's skull.
465
00:22:06,718 --> 00:22:09,243
She has assets sufficient
to flee the jurisdiction.
466
00:22:09,321 --> 00:22:11,186
$1 million, cash or bond.
467
00:22:11,256 --> 00:22:13,816
If she has any assets,
she can use them there.
468
00:22:18,530 --> 00:22:20,259
We have her car in Manhattan.
469
00:22:20,332 --> 00:22:21,959
We have
the victim's hair in her car.
470
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:23,761
How's the motive?
471
00:22:23,835 --> 00:22:25,996
Well, if we can prove Evans
dumped her, everything fits.
472
00:22:26,071 --> 00:22:28,198
But she says he didn't,
and he says he didn't.
473
00:22:28,273 --> 00:22:31,140
He thinks he's protecting her.
Go convince him he's wrong.
474
00:22:33,913 --> 00:22:35,881
All this from nothing.
475
00:22:36,615 --> 00:22:39,140
I never set out
to sleep with Joni.
476
00:22:41,587 --> 00:22:46,524
It wasn't grand passion,
just wine at lunch, you know?
477
00:22:47,360 --> 00:22:49,055
I don't drink at lunch.
478
00:22:49,128 --> 00:22:50,789
And I don't kiss and tell.
479
00:22:52,531 --> 00:22:54,328
Diane didn't know.
480
00:22:54,900 --> 00:22:56,800
Maybe she found
out another way.
481
00:22:56,869 --> 00:23:01,830
Well, she's not one to suffer in silence.
I would have heard about it.
482
00:23:01,908 --> 00:23:05,105
Mr. Evans, we are going to convict
your girlfriend of murder.
483
00:23:05,178 --> 00:23:06,668
How can you if she
didn't kill anybody?
484
00:23:06,813 --> 00:23:08,303
You don't believe that.
485
00:23:08,382 --> 00:23:11,408
You're trying to help her anyway,
but you're only hurting her.
486
00:23:13,420 --> 00:23:17,356
I tell you she knew about Joni,
I tell you she was in a rage.
487
00:23:18,592 --> 00:23:20,457
That helps her?
Yes.
488
00:23:20,527 --> 00:23:23,497
It makes it a crime of passion.
It's a lesser offense.
489
00:23:26,134 --> 00:23:27,294
She's going to jail either way.
490
00:23:27,368 --> 00:23:28,960
The only question
is for how long.
491
00:23:33,741 --> 00:23:34,969
(SIGHS)
492
00:23:38,946 --> 00:23:42,313
I told her that Friday.
She got hysterical.
493
00:23:43,384 --> 00:23:45,375
It was pathetic.
494
00:23:46,788 --> 00:23:47,846
Pathetic.
495
00:23:51,326 --> 00:23:53,021
POSNER: I don't believe you.
496
00:23:53,095 --> 00:23:55,689
He told me about the break-up.
He'll tell a jury.
497
00:23:55,764 --> 00:23:56,856
Charles loves me.
498
00:23:56,932 --> 00:23:58,024
He's trying to help you.
499
00:23:58,367 --> 00:23:59,493
Some help.
500
00:23:59,568 --> 00:24:03,231
Even if a jury believes him, a
break-up's a long way from murder.
501
00:24:03,305 --> 00:24:05,865
Fine. Go to trial.
502
00:24:05,941 --> 00:24:08,307
You haven't given
me an alternative.
503
00:24:08,377 --> 00:24:10,675
Given your client's tenuous
emotional state...
504
00:24:10,746 --> 00:24:11,838
My what?
505
00:24:11,980 --> 00:24:13,106
Man one. Maximum sentence.
506
00:24:13,182 --> 00:24:15,014
What tenuous emotional state?
507
00:24:15,151 --> 00:24:16,982
Evans told me how you reacted.
508
00:24:17,787 --> 00:24:19,311
He wrote
the whole scene for you?
509
00:24:19,389 --> 00:24:20,481
We'll get back to you.
510
00:24:20,623 --> 00:24:21,749
I didn't kill her.
511
00:24:21,825 --> 00:24:23,190
Her hair was in your car.
512
00:24:23,259 --> 00:24:26,558
Well, Charles uses my car.
Maybe he took her for a ride.
513
00:24:26,629 --> 00:24:28,961
The E-ZPass records
put you in Manhattan.
514
00:24:29,566 --> 00:24:31,431
An E-ZPass isn't DNA, Jack.
515
00:24:31,501 --> 00:24:34,937
It's more like a
supermarket checkout scanner
516
00:24:35,004 --> 00:24:38,269
which last week charged me
$11 for a quart of milk.
517
00:24:38,341 --> 00:24:40,640
ROSS: You weren't at your country
house the night of the murder.
518
00:24:41,445 --> 00:24:43,242
Your neighbors
couldn't find you.
519
00:24:44,114 --> 00:24:45,376
Do you want to
know where I was?
520
00:24:45,516 --> 00:24:46,778
Diane, that's it for now.
521
00:24:46,851 --> 00:24:50,116
No. I was visiting
my son at his school.
522
00:24:50,187 --> 00:24:51,211
JACK: In Manhattan?
523
00:24:51,355 --> 00:24:52,413
In Connecticut.
524
00:24:53,524 --> 00:24:55,992
I don't understand why I'm
hearing this for the first time.
525
00:24:56,060 --> 00:24:57,755
His mother is
accused of murder.
526
00:24:57,828 --> 00:24:59,125
I didn't want
the police barging into
527
00:24:59,196 --> 00:25:00,458
his history class
to interrogate him.
528
00:25:00,531 --> 00:25:03,056
Can you understand that,
Mr. McCoy?
529
00:25:08,273 --> 00:25:11,731
DALTON: Austin will be done with
soccer practice in a few minutes.
530
00:25:11,810 --> 00:25:15,473
The other students have seen
the articles about his mother.
531
00:25:15,547 --> 00:25:18,243
We've never had
a situation quite like this.
532
00:25:18,316 --> 00:25:20,546
How's Austin handling it?
533
00:25:20,685 --> 00:25:22,949
He's talking even
less than usual.
534
00:25:23,021 --> 00:25:24,454
We thought it might be best
to send him home.
535
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:27,788
But home where? To whom?
536
00:25:27,859 --> 00:25:28,917
His father?
537
00:25:29,060 --> 00:25:30,152
Is dead.
538
00:25:30,729 --> 00:25:33,790
Charles Evans?
He's sort of a step-father, isn't he?
539
00:25:33,866 --> 00:25:37,358
I've never met Mr. Evans.
I'm sure he never came to visit.
540
00:25:37,436 --> 00:25:39,063
How about Austin's mother?
541
00:25:39,138 --> 00:25:41,800
Did she visit him the Sunday
before she was arrested?
542
00:25:41,874 --> 00:25:43,341
I don't know.
I didn't see her.
543
00:25:43,409 --> 00:25:45,001
I haven't seen
her since Christmas.
544
00:25:45,244 --> 00:25:46,677
When she picked Austin up?
545
00:25:46,746 --> 00:25:49,271
Well, actually, she just came
to visit for an afternoon.
546
00:25:49,348 --> 00:25:51,646
Austin spent
the holidays with us.
547
00:25:51,717 --> 00:25:56,518
I think his mother accompanied Mr.
Evans to a lecture in Glasgow.
548
00:25:56,589 --> 00:25:58,717
I didn't know schools were
open over the holidays.
549
00:25:58,792 --> 00:26:01,659
Yes. We have some foreign students
who can't conveniently get home
550
00:26:01,728 --> 00:26:05,323
and some American students
in special situations.
551
00:26:05,399 --> 00:26:07,094
I think we can talk to him now.
552
00:26:07,935 --> 00:26:12,497
She picked me up outside the library at 7:00.
We sat in her car and talked.
553
00:26:12,573 --> 00:26:14,006
Did anybody see you with her?
554
00:26:14,141 --> 00:26:15,574
I don't know.
555
00:26:16,109 --> 00:26:17,406
What did you talk about?
556
00:26:17,544 --> 00:26:18,875
Nothing much.
557
00:26:18,946 --> 00:26:20,573
Charles Evans?
558
00:26:20,647 --> 00:26:23,139
No. Mostly about me.
559
00:26:23,217 --> 00:26:26,414
Should I apply for
early decision at Wesleyan.
560
00:26:27,822 --> 00:26:29,756
Do I have to answer
any more of her questions?
561
00:26:29,824 --> 00:26:31,792
Only if you want to, Austin.
562
00:26:31,859 --> 00:26:33,554
Well, I don't want to.
563
00:26:35,229 --> 00:26:38,858
Loving son rallies to
the mother's defense.
564
00:26:38,933 --> 00:26:40,833
He's contradicted
by the E-ZPass.
565
00:26:40,902 --> 00:26:44,838
The E-ZPass won't look loyal and
forlorn on the witness stand.
566
00:26:45,406 --> 00:26:47,169
I did some checking
after the headmaster
567
00:26:47,241 --> 00:26:49,142
told me nobody visits this kid.
568
00:26:49,378 --> 00:26:51,369
Charles Evans moved into
his mother's apartment
569
00:26:51,447 --> 00:26:55,110
and a few days later she ships
the kid off to boarding school.
570
00:26:55,184 --> 00:26:58,711
Not the first teenager
handed a ticket out of town.
571
00:26:58,787 --> 00:27:00,186
Up until then,
he lived with his mother
572
00:27:00,322 --> 00:27:01,755
and attended
school in the city.
573
00:27:01,824 --> 00:27:03,553
No record of any problems.
574
00:27:03,626 --> 00:27:05,856
You think Evans is behind it?
575
00:27:05,928 --> 00:27:07,828
"If you want me, you've got
to get rid of the kid."
576
00:27:07,896 --> 00:27:10,364
The guy's got an ego
the size of Central Park.
577
00:27:10,432 --> 00:27:13,868
He wrote a first-person novel about
his favorite bodily functions.
578
00:27:13,936 --> 00:27:15,529
You read it?
579
00:27:15,605 --> 00:27:17,505
My ex thought it was great.
580
00:27:18,908 --> 00:27:22,036
If she'd throw out her
own son to please Evans,
581
00:27:22,112 --> 00:27:24,774
makes it easier to believe that
she'd murder to keep Evans.
582
00:27:24,848 --> 00:27:27,408
Lf. How are you
gonna prove that?
583
00:27:27,484 --> 00:27:28,815
Their friends won't talk.
584
00:27:28,885 --> 00:27:31,649
But I've got a lead on
Posner's former housekeeper.
585
00:27:31,921 --> 00:27:36,017
She was beautiful, she was smart.
I never understood it.
586
00:27:36,092 --> 00:27:38,788
I gather Charles Evans
was considered quite a catch.
587
00:27:38,862 --> 00:27:41,354
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Big-time writer.
588
00:27:41,499 --> 00:27:44,024
He put out his
cigarettes in the china.
589
00:27:44,835 --> 00:27:46,325
How'd he get along with Austin?
590
00:27:46,404 --> 00:27:48,065
He never talked to the boy.
591
00:27:48,339 --> 00:27:50,773
It was terrible,
she sent him away.
592
00:27:50,908 --> 00:27:53,376
He was only 13.
He didn't want to go.
593
00:27:53,444 --> 00:27:56,004
Evans made her do it?
He didn't make her.
594
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,310
To be with that man,
she wanted to.
595
00:27:58,382 --> 00:28:03,046
She could have had 100 men.
She only had one child.
596
00:28:04,822 --> 00:28:08,589
My son called me.
I want you to leave him alone.
597
00:28:08,660 --> 00:28:10,491
Like you do, Ms. Posner?
598
00:28:10,629 --> 00:28:12,460
I don't know what you mean.
599
00:28:12,531 --> 00:28:15,728
Your son is in an empty
school celebrating Christmas
600
00:28:15,801 --> 00:28:17,393
with kids from Hong Kong
601
00:28:17,469 --> 00:28:20,199
while you're hanging off the
lapels of Charles Evans.
602
00:28:20,272 --> 00:28:22,866
How I raise my son
is my business.
603
00:28:22,941 --> 00:28:27,571
And Charles Evans' business.
I gather he doesn't like children.
604
00:28:27,646 --> 00:28:29,170
Charles is a very busy man.
605
00:28:29,247 --> 00:28:31,739
He's written three novels
in the past five years.
606
00:28:31,818 --> 00:28:33,012
What's this about?
607
00:28:33,086 --> 00:28:36,522
Are you adding a count of bad
parenting to the murder indictment?
608
00:28:36,589 --> 00:28:38,955
She can still
plead to manslaughter.
609
00:28:39,025 --> 00:28:42,085
I told you. I am not
pleading to anything.
610
00:28:42,161 --> 00:28:45,187
And you're going to put your son
on the stand as your alibi?
611
00:28:46,632 --> 00:28:48,156
If I have to.
612
00:28:48,701 --> 00:28:50,532
You throw him out,
you neglect him,
613
00:28:50,670 --> 00:28:52,535
and now you want to
use him to lie for you.
614
00:28:52,605 --> 00:28:55,506
It's not a lie.
I didn't kill Joni Timberman.
615
00:28:55,575 --> 00:28:58,545
If you go to trial
and put him on the stand,
616
00:28:58,679 --> 00:29:01,671
I'm going to have
to go after him.
617
00:29:02,416 --> 00:29:06,318
I'm sure that wouldn't bother Charles Evans.
But doesn't it bother you?
618
00:29:09,123 --> 00:29:12,354
Our witness list. I think we should
start with the 911 operator.
619
00:29:12,426 --> 00:29:15,088
You take Evans.
It'll help with the female jurors.
620
00:29:15,162 --> 00:29:17,892
And I want you to cross
Posner if she testifies.
621
00:29:17,965 --> 00:29:20,160
I can't believe she'd
put her son through it.
622
00:29:20,234 --> 00:29:23,363
She sacrificed him before.
The stakes are higher now.
623
00:29:23,438 --> 00:29:26,669
You should see this kid, Jack.
He's miserable, and he's a lousy liar.
624
00:29:26,741 --> 00:29:27,730
(PHONE RINGING)
625
00:29:29,410 --> 00:29:30,672
McCoy.
626
00:29:33,148 --> 00:29:34,638
How is she?
627
00:29:36,417 --> 00:29:37,679
We're coming.
628
00:29:39,053 --> 00:29:42,648
Diane Posner just tried to
hang herself with a bed sheet.
629
00:29:46,995 --> 00:29:49,658
A guard found her
as the noose was tightening.
630
00:29:49,732 --> 00:29:51,791
A minute more,
we'd be talking over and out.
631
00:29:51,867 --> 00:29:53,027
How is she?
632
00:29:53,169 --> 00:29:54,329
Minor neck abrasions.
633
00:29:54,403 --> 00:29:58,999
She's under a suicide watch and she
sees a psychiatrist in the morning.
634
00:29:59,074 --> 00:30:03,534
This was in her cell.
Addressed to a Charles Evans.
635
00:30:03,612 --> 00:30:05,079
Is that the writer?
Thank you, Doctor.
636
00:30:05,147 --> 00:30:06,842
I'll see that it's
returned to my client.
637
00:30:06,916 --> 00:30:08,315
Well, there was
one for her son, too.
638
00:30:08,450 --> 00:30:09,883
And he was here
a little while ago.
639
00:30:09,952 --> 00:30:12,420
I gave it to him.
Was that wrong?
640
00:30:12,955 --> 00:30:14,753
We'll need to get it back.
This one, too.
641
00:30:14,891 --> 00:30:16,688
Not without a court order.
642
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,819
You know it's evidence.
It could be a confession.
643
00:30:18,895 --> 00:30:22,626
Right now, all I know is it's
Diane Posner's property.
644
00:30:22,699 --> 00:30:24,189
You're not leaving with that.
645
00:30:24,801 --> 00:30:25,825
Are you going to stop me?
646
00:30:25,902 --> 00:30:28,598
This is a jail.
There are bars on the doors.
647
00:30:28,672 --> 00:30:31,300
Why don't we deposit it with the court?
We'll put it in an envelope,
648
00:30:31,374 --> 00:30:34,366
we'll seal it up, and we'll walk
it over to the judge together.
649
00:30:40,785 --> 00:30:44,949
Mr. McCoy represents the power of the
state, but he is not Big Brother.
650
00:30:45,022 --> 00:30:49,254
He is not entitled to see Ms.
Posner's personal correspondence,
651
00:30:49,327 --> 00:30:51,318
written at a moment
of emotional crisis.
652
00:30:51,395 --> 00:30:54,694
With all due respect, her
emotional state is not an issue.
653
00:30:54,765 --> 00:30:57,928
Ms. Posner is
a prisoner at Rikers Island.
654
00:30:58,002 --> 00:31:00,664
As such, she has only a limited
expectation of privacy
655
00:31:00,738 --> 00:31:02,171
for correspondence
or anything else.
656
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,938
DIAMOND: The courts have limited
expectations, not eviscerated them.
657
00:31:06,011 --> 00:31:07,273
In Wolff v. McDonnell,
658
00:31:07,346 --> 00:31:08,938
a prisoner is
not wholly stripped
659
00:31:09,081 --> 00:31:10,708
of constitutional protections.
660
00:31:10,782 --> 00:31:14,946
So it's reasonable for her to
expect privacy in her prison cell?
661
00:31:15,020 --> 00:31:16,817
I was writing to
people that I love.
662
00:31:16,889 --> 00:31:18,914
I thought that I was never
going to see them again.
663
00:31:18,991 --> 00:31:21,186
Nobody else was supposed
to see what I wrote.
664
00:31:21,260 --> 00:31:23,251
Ms. Posner's
intent is not relevant.
665
00:31:23,395 --> 00:31:25,420
If it's reasonable, it is.
666
00:31:25,497 --> 00:31:28,523
Rikers' has a policy not to
open prisoners' outgoing mail.
667
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,695
My client was aware of that
policy and relied on it.
668
00:31:31,771 --> 00:31:35,764
This was not outgoing mail.
These letters were not stamped or sealed.
669
00:31:35,842 --> 00:31:38,072
Aren't we getting
a little over-technical here?
670
00:31:38,144 --> 00:31:40,635
If we are,
so did the Court of Appeals.
671
00:31:40,713 --> 00:31:42,476
In People v.
Garofolo, it ruled
672
00:31:42,548 --> 00:31:45,016
that " no expectation
of privacy" attaches
673
00:31:45,151 --> 00:31:47,619
to unsealed letters in
a prison environment.
674
00:31:48,922 --> 00:31:51,413
The case appears to be directly
on point, Ms. Diamond.
675
00:31:51,491 --> 00:31:53,652
Please don't let
them read them.
676
00:31:53,726 --> 00:31:54,715
Your Honor...
677
00:31:54,794 --> 00:31:58,492
You want to ask the Court of Appeals
to reconsider, be my guest.
678
00:31:58,565 --> 00:32:02,228
In the meantime, the letters
go to the District Attorney.
679
00:32:03,504 --> 00:32:04,971
What is this supposed to mean?
680
00:32:05,039 --> 00:32:06,700
It's a subpoena for
your mother's letter.
681
00:32:07,007 --> 00:32:08,304
I'm not giving it to you.
682
00:32:08,642 --> 00:32:09,768
You have to, Austin.
683
00:32:09,843 --> 00:32:12,073
It's personal.
Between my mother and me.
684
00:32:12,146 --> 00:32:13,443
It might be
evidence in a crime.
685
00:32:13,514 --> 00:32:15,379
And I really don't have to
discuss this with you.
686
00:32:15,449 --> 00:32:17,713
Well, I don't have it anyway.
I burned it.
687
00:32:18,652 --> 00:32:22,611
Fine. Then we won't find it when we
get a warrant and search your room.
688
00:32:24,459 --> 00:32:26,450
Mr. Dalton,
do I really have to let them?
689
00:32:26,594 --> 00:32:28,585
I think you do, Austin.
690
00:32:37,138 --> 00:32:39,038
Where's my confession?
691
00:32:39,107 --> 00:32:42,668
Discreet even at death's door.
To her son.
692
00:32:43,678 --> 00:32:45,578
"Dear, Austin.
I hope one day you'll understand
693
00:32:45,647 --> 00:32:47,547
"the painful
choices I've had to make.
694
00:32:47,615 --> 00:32:50,676
"They were never intended
to hurt you in any way."
695
00:32:50,753 --> 00:32:53,813
She could be talking about sending
him away or killing herself.
696
00:32:54,824 --> 00:32:57,918
She was about to hang herself
in a prison cell
697
00:32:57,994 --> 00:33:01,361
and she's still fawning over
the great Charles Evans.
698
00:33:02,331 --> 00:33:04,891
"Your brilliance
overwhelmed me.
699
00:33:04,967 --> 00:33:08,095
"My greatest desire
was always your happiness.
700
00:33:08,838 --> 00:33:12,672
"My greatest fear,
losing your love."
701
00:33:13,809 --> 00:33:17,678
Goes to motive. Killing the
woman who got some of his love.
702
00:33:17,748 --> 00:33:20,182
What about this?
703
00:33:22,085 --> 00:33:23,279
"With this final offering,
704
00:33:23,353 --> 00:33:24,980
"I hope you finally understand
705
00:33:25,055 --> 00:33:27,546
"the distance I will
travel to protect you."
706
00:33:29,159 --> 00:33:30,888
Protect him from what?
707
00:33:31,628 --> 00:33:33,960
Airing his dirty
linen at a public trial?
708
00:33:34,031 --> 00:33:37,091
This guy writes books
about his dirty linen.
709
00:33:37,167 --> 00:33:40,194
What do we know about his whereabouts
on the night of the murder?
710
00:33:40,271 --> 00:33:42,432
He told the police he was at a
friend's house in Rhinebeck.
711
00:33:42,507 --> 00:33:45,499
Alone. He was on a train back
the next morning.
712
00:33:45,576 --> 00:33:47,339
Trains run two ways.
713
00:33:49,881 --> 00:33:51,644
What do you think?
714
00:33:52,483 --> 00:33:57,318
Would Diane Posner die to protect
the great man from a murder charge?
715
00:33:59,891 --> 00:34:01,324
I wasn't at
the house that night,
716
00:34:01,392 --> 00:34:03,656
but I invited
Charles to stay there
717
00:34:03,795 --> 00:34:06,060
while we were driving
upstate on the Friday.
718
00:34:06,131 --> 00:34:07,826
What did you talk
about during the ride?
719
00:34:08,434 --> 00:34:09,662
Nothing.
720
00:34:09,735 --> 00:34:14,069
And I can usually at least rely
on Charles to talk about himself.
721
00:34:14,139 --> 00:34:16,437
Did he mention Joni Timberman?
722
00:34:16,508 --> 00:34:17,440
No.
723
00:34:17,576 --> 00:34:18,543
Diane Posner?
724
00:34:19,411 --> 00:34:22,073
He said she was spending the
weekend in the country.
725
00:34:22,147 --> 00:34:25,207
I asked how she was doing.
I know them both.
726
00:34:25,284 --> 00:34:28,151
He seemed uncomfortable
talking about her.
727
00:34:28,220 --> 00:34:29,983
Did he tell you
they'd split up?
728
00:34:32,192 --> 00:34:34,387
They'd always had
their ups and downs.
729
00:34:34,527 --> 00:34:36,757
I figured this was
one of those times.
730
00:34:37,797 --> 00:34:40,960
Even at the symposium,
Charles seemed distracted.
731
00:34:41,334 --> 00:34:45,270
A fellow from Amherst called
Faulkner a proto-magical-realist,
732
00:34:45,338 --> 00:34:47,704
and it didn't get
a rise out of him.
733
00:34:47,774 --> 00:34:49,105
Should it have?
734
00:34:49,175 --> 00:34:51,268
He considers
Faulkner a naturalist.
735
00:34:52,445 --> 00:34:55,778
He went through a bottle of my
Red Label in less than a day.
736
00:34:55,849 --> 00:34:58,182
I was worried about him.
I think Diane was, too.
737
00:34:58,252 --> 00:34:59,514
How do you know that?
738
00:34:59,587 --> 00:35:02,283
She called me from Croton
Sunday night, upset.
739
00:35:02,356 --> 00:35:05,154
The police checked her phone records.
She didn't make any calls.
740
00:35:05,226 --> 00:35:07,820
She said she was
calling from a store.
741
00:35:07,895 --> 00:35:09,795
She wanted to speak to Charles.
742
00:35:09,864 --> 00:35:11,695
She asked for the phone
number at my house.
743
00:35:11,765 --> 00:35:13,232
Did you give it to her?
744
00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:15,598
I told her I'd call him
and have him call her,
745
00:35:15,736 --> 00:35:18,068
in case he didn't
want to be disturbed.
746
00:35:18,139 --> 00:35:20,130
Charles didn't
answer the phone.
747
00:35:20,274 --> 00:35:22,265
I called Diane
back and told her.
748
00:35:23,945 --> 00:35:25,503
Third trip in a month, Jack.
749
00:35:25,580 --> 00:35:27,241
Why don't you just
book a cell here,
750
00:35:27,382 --> 00:35:29,077
save the city
the cost of commuting.
751
00:35:29,151 --> 00:35:31,847
Thanks for your concern.
This is my last trip.
752
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,285
I'm still not making any deals.
753
00:35:33,421 --> 00:35:34,820
Neither am I.
754
00:35:35,891 --> 00:35:38,587
I don't send
innocent people to prison.
755
00:35:40,762 --> 00:35:42,730
You didn't kill Joni Timberman.
756
00:35:42,797 --> 00:35:45,061
DIAMOND: Great.
When can I get her out of here?
757
00:35:45,133 --> 00:35:47,033
As soon as she
tells us who did.
758
00:35:47,102 --> 00:35:48,126
What are you talking about?
759
00:35:48,203 --> 00:35:50,536
You were in Croton when
the murder was committed.
760
00:35:50,606 --> 00:35:53,973
Peter Hilligan called you there.
We checked his phone records.
761
00:35:54,043 --> 00:35:56,068
DIAMOND: Diane,
why didn't you tell me?
762
00:35:56,212 --> 00:35:58,237
Because she was
protecting someone.
763
00:35:58,981 --> 00:36:00,039
Evans?
764
00:36:00,116 --> 00:36:01,674
You read her letter to him.
765
00:36:03,986 --> 00:36:07,012
I want them to leave.
I don't have to talk to them.
766
00:36:07,089 --> 00:36:09,182
JACK: He doesn't
deserve your loyalty.
767
00:36:09,258 --> 00:36:10,589
You don't know
what he deserves.
768
00:36:10,726 --> 00:36:12,057
Yes, I do.
769
00:36:13,062 --> 00:36:14,792
He made you give up your son.
770
00:36:14,865 --> 00:36:18,665
He cheated on you with Joni
Timberman and God knows who else.
771
00:36:19,169 --> 00:36:21,569
And now he's willing to
let you pay for his crime.
772
00:36:21,638 --> 00:36:22,832
You don't understand him.
773
00:36:22,906 --> 00:36:24,271
I understand him.
774
00:36:25,576 --> 00:36:27,100
You, I don't.
775
00:36:27,611 --> 00:36:28,908
I swear.
776
00:36:31,315 --> 00:36:33,806
I know he didn't
mean to kill her.
777
00:36:35,619 --> 00:36:37,143
What happened?
778
00:36:43,061 --> 00:36:45,586
He came to
Croton that afternoon.
779
00:36:47,131 --> 00:36:49,827
I'd never seen him
like that before.
780
00:36:49,901 --> 00:36:52,961
His breath reeked of liquor.
He was a mess.
781
00:36:54,172 --> 00:36:56,197
He said that Joni
782
00:36:57,675 --> 00:36:59,836
didn't want him anymore.
783
00:37:00,745 --> 00:37:01,939
And
784
00:37:04,716 --> 00:37:06,981
he said he wanted me again.
785
00:37:09,421 --> 00:37:12,584
I didn't know what to say.
It was all too much.
786
00:37:14,326 --> 00:37:16,794
He took my car
keys and he left.
787
00:37:17,563 --> 00:37:19,030
Did he say where he was going?
788
00:37:19,398 --> 00:37:20,888
No.
789
00:37:21,934 --> 00:37:24,960
I walked into
town to look for him.
790
00:37:26,205 --> 00:37:29,038
He wasn't there.
I called Peter Hilligan.
791
00:37:32,579 --> 00:37:34,376
Charles came in later.
792
00:37:34,447 --> 00:37:39,646
There was blood on his shirt.
793
00:37:45,358 --> 00:37:47,417
He didn't mean to do it.
794
00:37:48,928 --> 00:37:52,523
I won't testify against him.
I won't.
795
00:37:59,573 --> 00:38:02,872
Are any of you bothered
by Eliot's misogyny?
796
00:38:04,211 --> 00:38:05,906
I know I am.
797
00:38:05,980 --> 00:38:07,208
Excuse us.
798
00:38:07,281 --> 00:38:10,409
Excuse me. I'm busy right now.
I'll talk to you later.
799
00:38:10,484 --> 00:38:11,610
You got that part right.
800
00:38:11,686 --> 00:38:13,017
Get your hands off of me.
801
00:38:13,087 --> 00:38:15,851
Charles Evans, you're under arrest
for the murder of Joni Timberman.
802
00:38:15,923 --> 00:38:17,220
You have the right
to remain silent.
803
00:38:17,291 --> 00:38:18,849
Class dismissed.
CURTIS: Anything you say can and will be
804
00:38:18,926 --> 00:38:20,416
used against you
in a court of law.
805
00:38:20,494 --> 00:38:23,430
Why exactly am I
supposed to have killed Joni?
806
00:38:23,498 --> 00:38:24,760
Because she rejected you.
807
00:38:24,833 --> 00:38:26,892
In case you haven't noticed,
you have an ego.
808
00:38:26,968 --> 00:38:29,334
So you don't like me.
Do you arrest everybody you don't like?
809
00:38:29,404 --> 00:38:30,735
Charles.
810
00:38:31,340 --> 00:38:34,798
This is ridiculous.
I have no idea what I'm doing here.
811
00:38:34,876 --> 00:38:36,673
Diane Posner told
us what happened.
812
00:38:36,745 --> 00:38:38,440
Diane did?
What did Diane say?
813
00:38:38,580 --> 00:38:40,309
You killed Timberman.
814
00:38:41,650 --> 00:38:42,878
She wouldn't say
anything against me,
815
00:38:43,018 --> 00:38:44,280
even if there were
something to say.
816
00:38:44,353 --> 00:38:48,084
This is a jilted lover.
A woman accused of this crime herself.
817
00:38:48,156 --> 00:38:51,388
Even if she weren't jilted,
even if she weren't accused.
818
00:38:52,261 --> 00:38:54,593
What upsets you more,
Mr. Evans?
819
00:38:54,964 --> 00:38:59,458
That we've got you for murder or
that your love slave got uppity?
820
00:39:00,703 --> 00:39:04,969
Stupidity. I'm always
upset by stupidity.
821
00:39:07,377 --> 00:39:09,709
It doesn't look like we're
going to get a confession.
822
00:39:09,779 --> 00:39:11,679
Why should he confess?
823
00:39:12,048 --> 00:39:14,779
You'll probably be arresting
somebody else tomorrow.
824
00:39:14,852 --> 00:39:17,650
Not if Diane Posner
sticks to her story.
825
00:39:18,689 --> 00:39:20,350
She said she wouldn't testify.
826
00:39:20,491 --> 00:39:22,152
I think she will,
if she told us.
827
00:39:22,226 --> 00:39:25,753
Yeah. How will you account for
her not telling you sooner?
828
00:39:25,829 --> 00:39:28,923
She was in thrall to Evans.
I'll put on psychiatric experts.
829
00:39:28,999 --> 00:39:33,026
Did he encourage her to cover for him?
Did he thank her?
830
00:39:33,103 --> 00:39:35,731
A little evidence along
those lines couldn't hurt.
831
00:39:35,806 --> 00:39:37,603
I checked
the visitors' log at Rikers.
832
00:39:37,674 --> 00:39:40,735
He never went.
But her secretary was a regular.
833
00:39:42,447 --> 00:39:45,348
She had me bring in
her files twice a week.
834
00:39:45,417 --> 00:39:48,147
She was trying to keep up
on her work in there.
835
00:39:48,219 --> 00:39:49,811
Did you carry
anything for Charles Evans?
836
00:39:49,888 --> 00:39:51,480
No.
Are you sure?
837
00:39:51,556 --> 00:39:52,818
I wouldn't forget.
838
00:39:52,957 --> 00:39:54,254
It's important.
839
00:39:54,325 --> 00:39:57,385
I'm very organized
about my work. Here.
840
00:40:00,165 --> 00:40:02,895
This is a list of
everything I took to the jail.
841
00:40:04,302 --> 00:40:06,999
Look at what Diane Posner
was reading in prison.
842
00:40:08,340 --> 00:40:09,637
"IRS letter rulings.
843
00:40:09,708 --> 00:40:10,902
"New York Law Journal."
844
00:40:11,043 --> 00:40:12,237
Middle of the page.
845
00:40:13,179 --> 00:40:15,272
"Search and Seizure,
chapter 29."
846
00:40:15,414 --> 00:40:17,541
Examination of prisoners' mail.
847
00:40:17,616 --> 00:40:21,677
So? She was helping her lawyer
prepare for the hearing.
848
00:40:21,754 --> 00:40:22,880
Look at the date.
849
00:40:22,955 --> 00:40:26,220
The book was delivered three
days before her suicide attempt.
850
00:40:27,259 --> 00:40:29,227
Along with
People v. Garofolo.
851
00:40:29,795 --> 00:40:31,353
The case that
got us her letters.
852
00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:33,160
She knew it would.
She set us up.
853
00:40:33,233 --> 00:40:35,167
She wasn't covering for Evans.
854
00:40:35,469 --> 00:40:37,369
I guess we now
know why he liked her.
855
00:40:37,437 --> 00:40:39,564
She's smart.
She's devious.
856
00:40:39,639 --> 00:40:41,300
She wasn't protecting him.
857
00:40:41,441 --> 00:40:43,136
And she wasn't
protecting herself.
858
00:40:43,210 --> 00:40:46,907
The phone call from Hilligan.
She was at Croton that night.
859
00:40:46,980 --> 00:40:48,572
Right in front of us.
860
00:40:48,648 --> 00:40:51,811
You arrested Charles.
Why are you still asking about my mother?
861
00:40:51,885 --> 00:40:54,149
Austin, would you like
me to call her lawyer?
862
00:40:54,221 --> 00:40:56,451
No. It doesn't matter.
My mother's cleared.
863
00:40:56,523 --> 00:41:00,119
Actually, Austin, we're having
second thoughts about that.
864
00:41:00,194 --> 00:41:01,218
You are?
865
00:41:01,295 --> 00:41:03,729
We think she tricked us into
suspecting Charles Evans.
866
00:41:03,798 --> 00:41:05,527
No. He did it.
She told me.
867
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,228
Told you when?
The day of the murder?
868
00:41:08,903 --> 00:41:10,700
You told us you saw her.
869
00:41:10,771 --> 00:41:12,830
Now she says she was 100
miles away with Evans.
870
00:41:12,907 --> 00:41:14,807
I know. When I said that,
I thought it would help her.
871
00:41:14,876 --> 00:41:16,537
JACK:
She had an alibi.
872
00:41:17,778 --> 00:41:20,076
The phone call she got
from Charles Evans' friend.
873
00:41:20,147 --> 00:41:21,239
I didn't know about that.
874
00:41:21,382 --> 00:41:24,875
She did. Why would she make up
an alibi if she didn't need one?
875
00:41:24,953 --> 00:41:26,443
Well, you were
accusing her of murder!
876
00:41:26,522 --> 00:41:28,149
Who knows why
anyone would do anything?
877
00:41:28,223 --> 00:41:29,884
We're going to find out.
878
00:41:31,326 --> 00:41:34,022
We're charging her with hindering
prosecution at the very least.
879
00:41:34,096 --> 00:41:35,859
No.
She's been through enough.
880
00:41:35,931 --> 00:41:38,092
She's been playing games with us.
No.
881
00:41:38,166 --> 00:41:40,066
I think Austin's been
through enough, too.
882
00:41:40,135 --> 00:41:42,126
Just one more question.
883
00:41:42,738 --> 00:41:46,139
Austin, did your mother
say that she was with you
884
00:41:47,876 --> 00:41:49,742
to give you an alibi?
885
00:41:51,581 --> 00:41:53,242
Why would I need one?
886
00:41:55,485 --> 00:41:57,612
You'd need one if
you didn't have one.
887
00:42:05,361 --> 00:42:07,591
Who saw you here that night?
888
00:42:08,932 --> 00:42:10,866
I don't know.
There's always people around.
889
00:42:10,934 --> 00:42:13,095
Good. Then we can ask them.
890
00:42:13,636 --> 00:42:16,936
Mr. Dalton, would you call
for Austin's roommate?
891
00:42:18,142 --> 00:42:19,370
I wasn't in my room.
892
00:42:19,443 --> 00:42:20,740
The library clerk.
893
00:42:22,479 --> 00:42:26,313
I wasn't there either. Who, Austin?
Who should we send for?
894
00:42:27,384 --> 00:42:30,547
I don't know.
I'm not sure where I was.
895
00:42:30,621 --> 00:42:33,419
If you were anywhere,
we'll find out.
896
00:42:34,124 --> 00:42:37,616
In a couple of days, we can
talk to everyone on the campus.
897
00:42:46,004 --> 00:42:47,596
I wasn't here.
Ah.
898
00:42:51,843 --> 00:42:54,744
Then where were you?
899
00:43:00,485 --> 00:43:03,079
Somebody drove your
mother's car into the city.
900
00:43:15,134 --> 00:43:16,328
AUSTIN:
My mother called me.
901
00:43:17,737 --> 00:43:21,229
I couldn't understand what she was
saying, she was crying so hard.
902
00:43:22,875 --> 00:43:25,139
But she finally got it out.
903
00:43:25,211 --> 00:43:27,475
Charles Evans had dumped her.
904
00:43:28,948 --> 00:43:30,438
I felt good.
905
00:43:32,285 --> 00:43:33,274
(SIGHING)
906
00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:35,711
I took a bus to Croton.
907
00:43:36,990 --> 00:43:40,323
I figured it was just another
one of their arguments.
908
00:43:40,394 --> 00:43:44,160
But she told me about his new
girlfriend, Ms. Timberman.
909
00:43:46,700 --> 00:43:49,168
I thought it was
finally over with him.
910
00:43:51,204 --> 00:43:53,195
But all she wanted to do
was get back with him.
911
00:43:54,241 --> 00:43:55,333
Why did you go to New York?
912
00:43:56,476 --> 00:43:58,911
To tell him how much
he was hurting my mother.
913
00:44:01,749 --> 00:44:04,946
I thought if I could get them
back together again,
914
00:44:06,154 --> 00:44:08,452
it would make my mother happy.
915
00:44:10,692 --> 00:44:13,217
And she'd see that
I did it for her,
916
00:44:14,762 --> 00:44:16,753
and she'd like me more.
917
00:44:18,933 --> 00:44:21,299
HOPPER: What happened
in the apartment?
918
00:44:23,939 --> 00:44:25,907
Ms. Timberman walked in.
919
00:44:26,275 --> 00:44:31,577
She yelled at me. She told me to leave.
Me. In my mother's house.
920
00:44:31,647 --> 00:44:34,309
In my house. His girlfriend.
921
00:44:35,217 --> 00:44:36,684
I went crazy.
922
00:44:43,992 --> 00:44:46,153
I know it wasn't her fault.
923
00:44:52,502 --> 00:44:53,969
I'm sorry.
924
00:44:57,907 --> 00:44:59,670
It was all because of him.
925
00:45:01,778 --> 00:45:04,508
Mr. McCoy,
are the People satisfied?
926
00:45:05,014 --> 00:45:06,606
Yes, Your Honor.
927
00:45:09,519 --> 00:45:13,182
Pursuant to your plea to
manslaughter in the first degree,
928
00:45:13,256 --> 00:45:15,817
and in the light of
mitigating circumstances,
929
00:45:15,893 --> 00:45:18,487
I'm accepting the recommendation
of the prosecution
930
00:45:18,562 --> 00:45:20,860
that you be sentenced
to a minimum term of
931
00:45:20,931 --> 00:45:23,923
10 years in a state
correctional facility.
932
00:45:24,902 --> 00:45:26,199
Court is adjourned.
933
00:45:26,270 --> 00:45:27,259
(GAVEL POUNDING)
934
00:45:52,964 --> 00:45:54,795
What do you think
she wanted to say to him?
935
00:45:54,866 --> 00:45:56,925
"Thanks for ruining my life."
936
00:45:57,536 --> 00:45:59,333
"Please take me back."
