[Laughing]

Hey.

[Indistinct chattering]

[Upbeat music]

[Indistinct shouting]

[Screaming]

[Intense music]

Rah rah. Homecoming, huh?

Couple of kegs.
Dancing, romancing.

You remember.

I went to John Jay. We
didn't have a football team.

Dead guy's name
is Billy raditzer.

All conference, free
safety last season.

What?

Not a fan of big time
division one college football?

Better things to do with
my Saturday afternoons.

Forensics indicates
the altercation

'took place in the room,
continued out here on the patio'

and ended by the pool.

Looks like he played
some d tonight.

'His knuckles are
all chewed up.'

witnesses say he went into
the room with two other players.

Hour or so later, he's
found dead out here.

In between, nobody saw anything.

- Those two players have names?
- Gary antrim and Tommy Murphy.

Murphy's a star quarterback,
antrim's a team captain.

Get the picture?

Starting to understand
why conlon got us out of bed

in the middle of the night.
College football stars.

Let's go get their autographs.

Most of the team, including
coach bass, is waiting there.

Let's get this done before
the rest of the press shows up.

Fat chance. We got
about 15 minutes.

Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late.
I had to wait for the sitter.

- Who're we looking for?
- Gary antrim and Tommy Murphy.

- No wonder conlon called me.
- You know these guys too?

Antrim and Murphy? Yeah.

Hey, where I'm from,
girls don't follow football.

Where I'm from, they do.

- Roy bass.
- Annabeth chase.

Prosecuting attorney's office.

This is my colleague
Maureen Scofield

investigators
Blackwell and Williams.

It's a tragedy, not
only for the program

but for the entire community.

Billy raditzer was an
outstanding young man

and I'm here to
help in any way I can.

You can start by producing
Gary antrim and Tommy Murphy.

I was hoping we do this
in a less dramatic fashion.

So were we.

What if they come
to your offices

first thing in the morning,
voluntarily, give a statement?

We're prepared to take
their statements now.

We could haul everybody
downtown for questioning.

That way, the whole
team, even the ball boys

will be in the early
edition of "sportscenter."

- If that's what you want.
- Are they under arrest?

We need to speak to
them about what happened

at that party this evening.

Antrim, Murphy,
front and center.

- Where'd you get these?
- Practice.

Don't play me,
kid. I used to box.

I know a fresh
strawberry when I see one.

- What about you?
- At the party, you know?

Just screwing
around. No big deal.

Billy raditzer?

Traded a few punches.
Nothing serious.

- Let me see your hands.
- What?

Show me the back of your hands.

(Ray) 'You too, hotshot.'

'wouldn't be surprised if
the marks on their hands'

match up pretty good
with Billy's dental work.

Probably left some
of their DNA on it too.

- Let's go find out, shall we?
- Yeah.

- Hands behind your back.
- What're you doing?

Coach, they can't do this.

Don't worry. It's gonna
be okay. Just hang in there.

Thought you said they
weren't under arrest.

You said that. I didn't.

Coach!

It was just a stupid fight.

- Rad started it.
- And you finished it.

No, man. All's we did
was tangle, mix it up a little.

He was alive when we
left him. Guaranteed.

- What was the fight about?
- Nothing.

'He came and started swinging.'

one minute, I'm doing the party

next minute, rad's in my grille.

- Why?
- He was pissed.

Lost his starting
job to a redshirt.

Redshirt? I don't
know what that means.

- Thought he was all conference.
- Twisted his knee first game.

And this other kid, he's
fast. A lot faster than rad.

Did the 60 in something
sick, just blazed.

'Rad's been riding the pine
and on the rag ever since.'

okay, but what's
his beef with you?

Don't know.

Anybody see the
fight? Any witnesses?

Not as far as I know. It
was just the three of us.

(Ed) 'Nobody saw
you take it outside?'

everybody else was
inside having a good time.

It was done in a
minute. No big deal.

So you and Gary
left rad by the pool.

He was fine.

You guys really
put a beating on him.

He gave as good as he got.

- Obviously.
- After the fight?

- We just walked away.
- Had a beer and split.

We went back to the dorm.

I'd like to call my dad now.

So he can get me a lawyer.

A lawyer.

Please.

They obviously had time
to get their stories straight.

According to the cops, so
did everyone else at the party.

Rad stormed into that
room, looking for a fight

and that's all anybody knows.

We'll have to
reinterview everyone.

Ed and ray can start with the
players. I'll contact the girls.

- I'll talk to the coroner.
- What about antrim and Murphy?

As far as I'm concerned,
they can cool their heels

until their arraignment.

That gives us 72 hours.

If we can keep them
out of circulation that long

we can get somebody
to say something new.

Yeah.

Give me the headlines.

Tommy Murphy, Gary antrim
and Billy raditzer had a fight.

We know that.

Well, this confirms it.

Murphy and antrim left
their DNA all over the hotel

and on Billy
raditzer's knuckles.

And he returned the favor.

- No surprises?
- Just one.

Traces of someone else's
blood in that bedroom.

- Not one of the players?
- No.

Fairly fresh, but no way to
tell exactly when it was left.

Either before, during
or after the party.

- Sorry.
- Cause of death?

No surprises there, either.

He was beaten so
severely, his spleen ruptured.

- Bled to death internally.
- How long did that take?

Hm, hard to say, but it
wasn't instantaneous.

So, if he would have
gotten medical attention..

You mean if someone
had called an ambulance?

Yeah, he should have made it.

Why didn't he get help? Could
he have been unconscious?

Not initially.

No significant head trauma.

His scalp wound was
bloody, but superficial.

Maybe he was disoriented.
He'd been drinking, right?

No.

No drugs. No alcohol.

Billy raditzer was stone
cold sober that night.

I was wasted, dude. I saw rad
go in there with Gary and Tommy.

Was making out in the room.
Didn't see anybody come out.

They must've went
through the patio doors.

Rad always was a hothead, dude.

Big time anger
management issues.

Alright, thanks.

[Sighs]

Hell with this.

Let's go talk to the
headman himself.

You got it.

(Roy) I told my
players full cooperation.

Anything you guys need.

Appreciate that, coach.

So far, we haven't
had much luck.

Well, I can tell you this.

Antrim and Murphy have
been officially suspended

from the team indefinitely.

They're in custody, coach.

They're not going to
play this Saturday anyway.

Yeah, I heard they'd
be out by midweek.

Heard that too, on sports
radio. It's not gonna happen.

When I took over the program..

They hadn't had a winning
season for five years.

I rebuilt it from the ground up.

I won't have its
reputation tarnished.

'I'm taking disciplinary
action against'

any players who broke
training rules that night.

So, you're gonna
suspend the whole team?

Not necessary. Just
a few bad apples.

That's what they always say.

Murphy and antrim told
us rad started the fight

and they didn't know why,
except that he was upset.

Because he lost
his starting position.

The story we're
getting from everybody

is that rad was a...
Sorehead. A malcontent.

He had a chip on his shoulder
the size of a hoosier dome.

Look, rad got hurt.
He lost his spot.

He thought it wasn't
fair. I can understand that.

If you can excuse me,
guys, I got a practice to run.

A game to get ready for
and a conference title to win.

Without Murphy and antrim.

One thing I don't do is quit.

We're going to a bowl this year.

I guaranteed that
on picture day.

Full access, gentlemen.
You've got my word.

Clearly there's been a
concerted effort by coach bass

his team and their supporters

to spin this story in
a certain direction.

Everyone we've talked to,
the players, their girlfriends.

What we need are witnesses
who actually saw what happened.

Right now, we have a dead kid

and a so-so battery case
against a couple of local heroes.

'Question is, can we prove
that this was anything more than'

just a drunken fistfight
between a bunch of jocks?

According to the coroner

Billy raditzer was
absolutely sober.

Yeah, this was no ordinary
boys-will-be-idiots dustup.

They beat him up so
badly, his spleen ruptured.

There's still gonna
be a lot of pressure

to allow them to plea
to a lesser charge.

Battery's just a
slap on the wrist.

I don't disagree.

Alright, look..

We charge antrim and Murphy
with involuntary manslaughter.

Are you sure?

Billy raditzer's dead,
antrim and Murphy killed him.

If this was a barroom brawl
between a couple of local yahoos

nobody would think twice, right?

And one last thing

football program
is not on trial here.

Let's try to remember
that as we proceed.

- A few bad apples.
- That's the working theory.

You better put your rain gear on

'cause things are gonna get
nasty when this hits the fan.

- Annabeth.
- Doug. What are you doing here?

Busman's holiday?

I've just come to
watch you work.

At an arraignment.
Why don't I believe you?

Because you're cynical and
suspicious beyond your years.

And?

And I'm representing
Tommy Murphy.

- I see.
- So where are your colleagues?

You think I can't
handle it on my own?

No, I think you're
more than capable.

But given the high profile
and political sensitivity

of this case, I would...

Conlon didn't want to add
to the hype and hysteria.

Well, he's a wise
man. And ambitious.

Staying as far away
from this one as he can.

I just hope, for your sake

that he isn't underestimating
the importance of this case

for the people of
this city and state.

After you, counselor.

(Judge) Gary antrim and Thomas
Murphy, you are each charged

with one count of
involuntary manslaughter

in the death of
William raditzer.

'How do you plead? Mr. Antrim?'

not guilty, your honor.

- 'Mr. Murphy?'
- Not guilty, your honor.

Miss chase, I assume the
people have a position on bail

that they'd like to convey.

People ask the
defendants be held on bond

of one million dollars apiece.

A million dollars? The people
can't be serious, your honor.

These young men are hardly
a threat to the community.

'We ask that they be released
on their own recognizance.'

now the defense
is being frivolous.

Further, if the accused
are released on bond

we ask that they be
placed under house arrest

'and fitted with an
electronic ankle bracelet'

'to assure their
appearance at trial.'

Mr. Antrim and Mr. Murphy
are not flight risks, your honor.

They have substantial
ties to the university

as well as a compelling
interest in refuting these charges

repairing their reputations
and continuing their education.

Bail is set at $500,000
each, cash or bond.

'Defendants will submit'

'to mandatory
electronic monitoring.'

I'm also, given the
intense media attention

around this case,
issuing a gag order.

None of you are
to talk to the press.

- Do you understand?
- Yes, your honor.

- Yes, your honor.
- Yes, your honor.

- I think we're done here.
- 'Your honor, if I may.'

under our system, a
defendant is presumed innocent.

We would like to ask the
court to issue an injunction

to compel central
Indiana state university

to allow these young men
to resume all their activities.

Counsel's asking the defendants
be allowed to play football

while under indictment
for manslaughter?

And go to class.

The defendants have been
suspended by their team.

It's an internal
university matter.

I agree with the people.
It's the university's call.

No injunction from
me, miss Richter.

Adjourned.

Uh, we might be open to a plea.

Gary and Tommy want
to get on with their lives.

It's too bad Billy can't.

Battery, two years
suspended. Community service.

Get back to me
when you're serious.

We'll put Tommy
and Gary on the stand.

Billy raditzer started the
fight, it was self-defense.

Their word against... Who?

- Do you have any witnesses?
- Nice to see you, Roberta.

Annabeth, really,
we should sit down

and work out an
amenable compromise here.

You and Doug don't come cheap.

I'm just curious, who's
picking up your tab?

As much as I love Doug hellman

and respect him, my
obligation is to my client.

You're willing to
cut a separate deal.

So what makes Gary
different from Tommy?

Why should I cut
a deal with him?

The fight was between
Tommy and Billy.

Gary was just caught up in it.

Does Doug know
what you're up to?

Have a great day.

It's worth a
conversation, absolutely.

If we can get antrim to
testify against Murphy

drive a wedge between them...

- I'll set it up.
- There's no rush.

Let's see what kinda cards
they're holding when we sit.

Mr. Raditzer's here to see you.

He's in the small
conference room.

Thanks, Denise.

This is the third time
I've been to Indianapolis.

We came last year for, uh

homecoming, Billy's
mother and I and..

And once when Billy
was recruited, of course.

Your wife didn't come
with you this time?

No, she stayed home.

Make the arrangements.

We're very, very
sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

You know, now we wish we'd
come to see more of his games.

His mother and I hoped he'd
go someplace closer to home.

But, you know, you go
where the scholarship is.

And that coach,
he promised Billy

that he'd be a starter
for central right away.

He was.

- Till he got hurt.
- So you've met coach bass.

Oh, yeah. When
he recruited Billy.

Sat at our dinner table

and he told us he'd
take care of our son.

And we believed him.

We felt good about
sending Billy here.

His teammates are all
saying the same thing.

The fight started because Billy
was upset about being benched.

[Scoffs]

Maybe he was, but I don't
see him lashing out over it.

He'd..

He'd have just worked
harder to get his job back.

Did he ever mention
having any problems

with Gary antrim
or Tommy Murphy?

The boys that killed him?

No. Never.

Billy, he got along
with everyone.

That's not what
we're hearing, sir.

Uh... did Billy have any
friends who weren't on the team?

Um... his roommate.

Um, nice kid.

Uh, Sam something. Uh, molloy.

Billy was a stand-up individual.

Kind of straitlaced,
though. Old-fashioned.

Didn't fight, didn't drink

didn't like the way the
players treated the girls.

Once a girl's good to go,
she's sorta passed around

like a party favor.

How do the girls feel about it?

Some seem cool with it.

Some of them go
along, get caught up in it.

But it must wear
on them after awhile.

Why did rad care?
Why didn't he ignore it?

Rad had a crush on one of them.

- What was her name?
- Cindy Robinson.

'All rad did was complain
about the whole party scene.'

just bothered him.

I told him, keep his mouth shut.

'The coaches pegged
you as a troublemaker'

you find yourself on the bench,
which is exactly what happened.

Don't rock the
boat no matter what.

Go along to get along.

Is that what the fight was
about? Jealousy over Cindy?

I wasn't there. Players only.

But best guess, knowing rad

maybe Cindy was doing
her crimson girl thing

and rad took exception.

Her crimson girl thing?

Cindy was a crimson girl.

- What's that, a cheerleader?
- Without the pom-poms.

They're there to
service the players

in every sense of the word.

- So the fight was over a girl.
- Possibly.

Well, that's a motive
I can understand.

- Now, the, uh, crimson girls.
- We confirmed molloy's story.

They show recruits
around campus.

Ah, persuade them
to sign with central.

Plus, they're a little perk
for the varsity players.

You know, anything they
can do to help the team.

The behavior was shocking
enough, but the blase attitude..

I know. It's a complete
moral vacuum.

They don't see
anything wrong with it.

Oh, uh, you were
right, by the way.

About antrim and Murphy.

Someone's picking up
the tab for their attorney

and their bail bonds.

The football booster club.

It's amazing how
much support there is

for these guys in the community

and how little there
is for the victim.

That's why we do what we
do. So the victim is not forgotten.

You know, it's
none of my business

but you're killing yourself
with those French fries.

You should talk.
You smoke cigars.

But I'm a triathlete.

It counteracts the
effects of the cigar.

Jim, annabeth,
this is Oliver Kent

the president of central
Indiana state university.

This is our new chief deputy
prosecutor, James conlon.

- It's a pleasure.
- Mr. Kent.

(Doug) 'I believe you
already know annabeth.'

oh, yes, we've met.

Mr. Conlon, it's good to see you
considering the circumstances.

Well, we hope to resolve this

in an equitable
manner for all involved.

Spoken like a
fair-minded public servant.

'I expected no less.'

'the university has always
had excellent relations'

with the legal
establishment in Indianapolis.

(Doug) 'Matter of
fact, your predecessor'

'was a season ticket holder.'

big snappers fan.

He really knew how to
throw a mean tailgate party.

I don't suppose they
tailgate in New York.

Doug, this may come
as a surprise to you

but we play football in
New York, tailgate too.

(Oliver) 'When all this
is over, Mr. Conlon'

I hope you'll be my guest at a
home game. You too, miss chase.

We'll let you get back
to your lunch. Come on.

- 'Bye.'
- 'gentlemen.'

was that a bribe?

If it was, they'll
have to do a lot better

than a couple of seats
on the 50 yard line.

What was I talking about?
Oh, uh, Cindy Robinson.

Maureen's talking to her today.

Soon as we know what she has

we'll sit down with
antrim and his attorney.

Will do. What are you gonna do?

Well, I'm going to return
some nasty phone calls

from the news media, fend
off demands for my resignation

and answer some hate mail.

That's why you
make the big bucks.

Mm-hmm.

I understand
you're a crimson girl.

- So?
- What exactly is that?

We just do things for the
team. Whatever they need.

Show recruits around
campus and tutor.

You tutor players?

If they need help, you know,
with, like, tests and stuff.

It's a little bit more
than that, isn't it, Cindy?

What you do for the players?

- That's up to the girl.
- Don't the players expect it?

The extra... Service?

No pressure. We do
what we wanna do.

What about Gary antrim
and Tommy Murphy?

Did they ask you
for anything extra?

You mean, like, did I
ever hook up with them?

Sure, Gary and Tommy.

Not rad. He wasn't
really my type.

You dated Gary and Tommy.

- We don't date on this campus.
- You don't?

I'm a senior. I haven't
had a date in four years.

We just, hook up, you
know. Keep it cas. No strings.

Who were you hooked
up with at the party?

- Nobody. I just danced.
- Did you see Tommy and Gary?

Once or twice. It was crowded.

What about rad?

Same thing. Just to say hey.

- You didn't see the fight?
- No. Nobody did.

Do you know what it was about?

Everyone said rad was
mad about being benched.

Did you know that the fight
might've been about you?

No. Uh, I didn't. I don't, I
don't see how it could've been.

Look, I'm sorry. I'm really
late for class. I got to go.

[Sighs]

I feel terrible.

This is not me.
This is not who I am.

If you knew he was
seriously injured

and you walked away and let
him die without calling for help...

We thought he was okay. I swear.

- We will up the charges.
- Okay.

Thought we were here
to down the charges

to something more reasonable,
like battery, for instance.

Involuntary manslaughter is
as low as we're willing to go.

That's what he's charged
with now. Uh, why are we here?

Sentencing
recommendation is still in play.

Tommy Murphy is the
principally responsible party here.

You have to convince us of that.

- And if we do?
- The maximum.

Eight years? No. Annabeth...

He serves four,
the rest suspended

in exchange for his testimony
against his codefendant

and a true account of
what happened that night.

'No more smoke
screen, no more spin.'

okay, Gary.

Tell them your story.

It was over a girl.

Cindy Robinson.

Yeah. Rad had a thing for her.

But she wouldn't
give him a tumble.

So he walked into that room
looking for you and Murphy?

- Not us. Cindy.
- I'm sorry.

- Cindy was in the room?
- Yup.

- Did she see the fight?
- She saw it start.

But we took it outside
before it really got going.

Let me get this straight.

Billy raditzer
stormed into that room

because you and Murphy
were in there with Cindy?

Not us. The guy we
hooked her up with that night.

The coroner said there was
someone else in the room.

Freddy Wade.

He's a booster.

So Billy confronted Mr. Wade?

Busted his nose.
Dude bled all over.

What was Wade doing there?

I thought the party
was players only.

We always got few
boosters hanging around.

Freddy wanted us to hook
him up with a crimson girl.

- Nice.
- Freddy went in with her.

Cindy just started freaking out.

Said she didn't sign up for
that. But Tommy talked her down.

(Maureen) 'How'd he do that?'

Freddy promised her a
car. So everything was cool.

A car? That's
prostitution. Not cool.

We didn't think of it that way.

Obviously. Go on.

They were about to get
it on and rad busted in.

We traded some
punches. No big deal.

Rad said something to
Tommy. Tommy just went ape.

- What'd he say?
- I don't know. I didn't hear.

Cindy and big Freddy
just started freaking out

so we took it outside.

Tommy got rad down on the
ground and just started wailing on him.

- I pulled Tommy off.
- How did you leave raditzer?

He seemed okay.
He was on his feet.

'He had a couple
of cuts and bruises'

but I had no idea he
was busted up inside.

Tommy must've done
that when he got him down.

So, in light of his candor
and his ancillary culpability

in exchange for his
testimony against Mr. Murphy

do we have a deal?

We'll have to see if
his story checks out.

Does Doug hellman
know you're here?

Ah, actually, Doug
prefers complete vindication

at trial for his client.

Apparently, Mr. Murphy
still harbors a notion

that he's gonna play in the NFL.

'Good day, ladies.'

feel like we're finally
getting to the bottom.

And if Doug
hellman went to trial

let's get on judge
barnez's calendar.

Who's gonna talk to
the used car salesman?

Big Freddy. Got it.

Yeah, I was hoping to
talk to the crimson girl.

No crimson girls for you.

I'll talk to Cindy, since
we have such rapport.

I'll come with you.

(Ray) We're gonna take
you downtown, get your DNA.

DNA's gonna match up,
put you right in that room.

- The kid hit me!
- 'Not to mention the scandal.'

prominent member of
the business community

forcing himself on co-eds.
That'll sell a lot of cars.

Come to Wade auto, where you
can buy a used car and get raped.

[Chuckles] I'm sure your
wife will be pleased too.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
hold on. Wait, now..

What are you saying?

I've never had to force
myself on a woman.

Antrim and Murphy,
they said it was cool.

In fact, they said
she wanted to.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You believe that?

Look in the mirror, pal.

I didn't have anything to do
with that raditzer kid dying.

I was out of there long
before that even happened.

Y-You, you ask coach bass.

Coach bass was at the party?

[Sighs]

I called him. He
came and got me.

Funny. He neglected
to mention that.

Coach was only there to help me.

I didn't want anyone
else to know about it.

If the press finds out
that he was at that party

it could ruin the program.

You lied about being
in the room that night.

You can't dodge this
any longer, Cindy.

The chickens are all
coming home to roost.

Antrim told us that
rad said something

to Tommy Murphy that night
that made him very angry.

Did you hear what it was?

He said he was
going to tell the coach.

Tell the coach about
you and Mr. Wade?

Why would coach care about that?

No, he'd think it was so great

we were taking
care of his friend.

No, he meant about
Murphy and deedee.

What are you talking
about? Who's deedee?

Mrs. Bass.

Rad said he saw Murphy
with coach bass' wife.

Tommy Murphy and Mrs.
Bass were having an affair?

Rad said he saw them one night

getting into an
elevator at the dunlop.

He said they were
all over each other.

Cell phone records
confirm frequent contact

between Tommy
Murphy and deedee bass.

Murphy called her
the night of the fight.

Do we know why?

We matched her license
to the garage security video.

She came to pick him up.

We got a positive ID from
the bellman at the dunlop.

Mrs. Bass and Tommy
Murphy were frequent flyers.

Coach's wife and
his star quarterback.

Who said things were
dull in Indianapolis?

- Not I.
- Puts the big apple to shame.

You've been away too long.
That's the thing about midwest.

- It only looks normal.
- What about coach bass?

He never told us or the police
he went to pick up big Freddy.

Big Freddy told him
about the fight then.

If bass knew, then tried to
cover it by telling his players

what to say, that's
obstruction of justice.

It's hard to prove.

On the other hand

if he tells his story
under oath, it's perjury.

Who do we talk to
first, coach or his wife?

Neither, I'm tired
of waltzing around

with lying,
prevaricating witnesses.

What do you have in mind?

Put them both on
the stand, under oath

treat them as hostile witnesses

in Tommy Murphy's
manslaughter trial.

That could work.

(Conlon) 'We got a dead player'

'two others charged
with manslaughter.'

'a prominent booster
involved in a possible rape.'

we got coach bass
who came to his rescue.

Co-eds and boosters involved in

what amounts to
a prostitution ring.

We've got a hell
of a scandal here.

Big enough to bring down
the program. That worry you?

Let the chips fall
where they may.

How long have you been having
an affair with the defendant?

A little more than a year.

(Annabeth) 'Was your
husband aware of the affair?'

I doubt it. He's too busy.

He wouldn't have noticed
your frequent overnight stays

at the dunlop hotel
with the defendant?

(Deedee) 'A lot of nights
Roy doesn't even come home.'

he stays all night in his
office, watching game film.

The night Billy raditzer
died, where were you?

At home. I couldn't go to the
party with Tommy obviously.

'I was at home all night.'

- you never left.
- No.

Did you see the
defendant that night?

No.

Did you talk to him on
the phone that night?

No.

What about your
husband? Where was he?

At his office, I assume.

Did you see him
at all that night?

Well, not until the next morning

after Gary and Tommy
had been arrested.

Did he say anything about
what occurred that evening?

Objection, your honor.
Spousal privilege.

The court cannot
require Mrs. Bass to testify

'as to confidential
communications'

'between her and her husband.'

according to Indiana statutes
she can answer voluntarily.

Ms. Bass, you may answer
the question if you so choose.

He just said that
there'd been a fight.

That Tommy and
Gary had killed Billy

'and it was all a big mess.'

he said that? He put the blame on
Gary antrim and Tommy Murphy?

Yes. I said he had
to stand by them.

He said that the boosters
would get them good lawyers

and that there was
nothing he could do.

He said the program
had to come first.

With Roy, the program
always comes first.

Yes, I was at
the party. Briefly.

I went there to
help out a friend.

Big Freddy Wade,
who found himself

in a compromising
position with a co-ed.

Well, I wouldn't quite
characterize it that way.

You were covering
for big Freddy Wade.

Again, I wouldn't quite...

Some people might say
you were pimping for him.

Your honor, that
was unnecessary.

Indeed, miss chase,
moderate your rhetoric, please.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I
apologize, your honor.

But it's true, isn't it?

You knew all about
the connection between

the boosters and
the crimson girls.

I didn't know anything
about any of that.

Freddy called me, said he
was in trouble, needed a ride.

I went and got
him. End of story.

You didn't tell the police
or prosecutor's office

you were at the party.

They never asked.

You didn't think
it was your duty

to volunteer that information?

I didn't think it was relevant.

None of your players mentioned
you were at the party, either.

I didn't see or speak
to any of my players.

Freddy met me out at the street.

I didn't go into the hotel.

Did you speak to your players
back at the athletic center?

I did.

Did you instruct them
what to tell the police

and prosecutors
about what happened?

I did.

(Annabeth) 'Coercing your
players to lie about what happened'

is obstruction of justice.

- Objection.
- 'Rephrase, counselor.'

what did you tell
them to say, coach?

I told them to be consistent.

- To stick to a simple story.
- And what story was that?

That no one knew
what happened that night

between those three
players and that's the truth.

(Annabeth) 'What else?'

that Billy raditzer was upset

about losing his
starting position.

Did you tell them to say
Billy started the fight?

As far as anyone knew, he did.

I didn't tell my players

to lie to you or the
police about anything.

So then why instruct
them on what to say?

For the good of the program.

To try to minimize the
fallout from this... Tragic event.

According to your
wife, you characterized it

somewhat differently
when you came home.

(Roy) 'Well, she misunderstood.'

and other than Mr. Wade..

You didn't talk to
anyone else at that party?

No. I got in and out
as quick as I could.

Why don't you tell us exactly
what happened that night, Tommy?

Rad was in love with Cindy.

He couldn't get it in his head

that she wanted to
be with other guys.

(Doug) 'Go on.'

I hooked Cindy
up with big Freddy.

Somehow rad found out about it.

He came in swinging..

Yelling.

The minute he hit big Freddy,
I knew we had a problem.

Well, you could've walked away.

I wish I had.

He kept running his mouth
about big Freddy and Cindy.

'All I could think about was,
"he's gonna ruin everything."'

then he said that..

He knew about me
and the coach's wife.

Next thing I knew,
we were outside

rolling around on the ground.

And then what happened?

Antrim pulled me, said
we had to get out of there.

Why didn't you try to get
medical assistance for rad

or call for help?

He seemed fine.

I am sorry for what I did.

I'm sorry rad's dead.

I wish I could turn back
the clock. Start over.

(Doug) 'Nothing further.'

if that's true, Mr. Murphy

why have you remained
silent for so long?

I thought, somehow, it
might still all work out.

If you kept your mouth shut you
might evade criminal prosecution

and resume your athletic career?

Yes.

Earlier, we heard
Gary antrim's testimony.

You beat Billy raditzer savagely

without mercy, within
an inch of his life.

I didn't. I swear.
We left him alive.

After the fight, you and
Gary went back to the dorm.

And then what did you do?

Just hung around.

I didn't really think
anything about it until

coach called us all together.

You didn't return to the hotel?

Mrs. Bass said, earlier,
she hadn't been to the hotel

and hadn't seen or
talked to you that night.

Your honor, people's
exhibit 22 and 23

hotel garage security video
which records the entrance

of a vehicle registered
to deedee bass

about the same time
as Billy raditzer's death

and cell phone records
of calls that night

between the defendant
and Mrs. Bass.

The last call, ten minutes
before Mrs. Bass' car

arrived at the garage.

Would you care to
revise your statement?

I was worried.

I went back to the hotel
to see if rad was okay.

And did you find him?

Yes.

I could see him with
someone by the pool.

Who?

Tommy..

..It's time to stop protecting
someone you know

has lied to protect
himself, not you.

Your honor, counsel is either

testifying or giving
her closing statement.

- I can't tell which.
- Ask a question, miss chase.

Tommy, who did you
see with Billy raditzer?

Coach bass.

[Gavel pounding]

(Barnez) 'Court will come to order
or the bailiffs will clear the room.'

what exactly did you see?

They were talking.

Arguing.

I could hear their voices.

They were kind of raised.

I... i thought Billy was
telling coach about the fight.

Me and antrim
were in big trouble.

Billy was sitting in a chair.

Coach was standing over
him, looking into his eyes..

With his hands on his shoulders.

- Holding him down?
- Yes.

And then what?

Billy tried to get
up out of his chair.

Coach wouldn't let him.

'He just kept holding him down.'

Billy kept trying to
get up out of his chair.

He kept saying

"please help me, I'm dying.
Please, I need a doctor."

Coach just kept
holding him down.

'It was terrible.'

[crying]

And then..

Billy just..

Closed his eyes and
kind of slumped over.

Coach let him go and he just
toppled over onto the ground.

- What did you do?
- I got the hell out of there.

I called deedee and asked her
if she could come pick me up.

Tommy, why didn't
you call for help?

I could tell..

He was dead.

And did you see the
coach at all, after that?

Back at the athletic center.

He said Billy had
died in the fight.

He said no one knew
the circumstances.

He took me aside.

He said, "keep your mouth shut.

You'll still go to the NFL."

[Indistinct murmuring]

Your honor, the defense
asks for a brief recess.

Granted.

Now I'm thinking we should,
uh, withdraw our not guilty plea.

Same deal as antrim?

He does more time.

- Four years.
- All eight.

Results of the search warrant.

Billy raditzer's
blood in your car.

(Roy) That might've
been left by big Freddy.

And on items of clothing
found on your premises.

It all corroborates
Tommy Murphy's story.

The university's already
cooperating with the ncaa.

Over 60 police reports
ranging from assault

to rape allegations.

Reports actively suppressed
by you and your staff

with the cooperation of the
entire athletic department

and the campus police.

Handgun possession, sexual
misconduct, dui, battery.

Not to mention,
the crimson girls

whom the boosters actively pay

to provide sexual favors
to athletes and boosters

which, in most
jurisdictions is prostitution.

Your football program's going
to get the so-called death penalty.

It's too bad we couldn't
do the same for you.

(Male #1) 'What're
you offering?'

in exchange for
a full confession

he pleads guilty to
voluntary manslaughter.

- Jail time?
- Maximum. 20 years.

Murphy's got eight, antrim four.

He's more culpable
than they are.

He knew raditzer needed help.

The good samaritan
law doesn't oblige anyone

to aid an injured person.

He forcibly prevented raditzer
from getting medical assistance.

He wanted him to die and
he made sure that he did.

Make your statement.

He threatened to go public.

Tell everybody.

Not just about the affair

but about the crimson
girls and big Freddy

and anything else
he could think about.

I mean, here is
this 18-year-old kid

shooting off his mouth..

Without any sense of
what it'd do to the program.

A program I built from nothing.

- 'Coach.'
- shut up!

I gave this kid a scholarship.

This ungrateful son of a
bitch, and he wants to drag me

and my program
through the coals?

Make a laughingstock out of us.

Boy, you got what
you wanted, didn't you?

Yeah, the program
will be dismantled.

My legacy, all of it.

- Gone.
- Your legacy?

You left Billy raditzer to die

because you cared more about
the program than your players.

- That's your legacy.
- Yeah.

Coach.

If he hadn't tried
to cover it up..

Antrim and Murphy
would've taken the blame.

And coach bass would still
be sitting in the catbird seat.

You know, it's
usually the cover-up

and not the original
crime that trips up

the high and mighty
in these kinda cases.

Now, you're gonna
be known as the guy

who killed football
at central, Indiana.

They'll be off
probation in few years

and back in a bowl
game before you know it.

Still, you didn't
have to take the lead.

We could've been the public
face of the prosecutor's office.

Then I'd be as bad as coach bass

letting my players
take the heat.

Which reminds me, gene
raditzer called to say thank you.

Well, the least we could do.

Putting coach bass in
prison hardly compensates

for the loss of his son, though.

No, but he was ecstatic
about the scholarship.

- Scholarship?
- I didn't tell you?

My new friend, president Kent.

I persuaded him to establish
one in Billy's memory.

'The raditzer scholarship.'

for true student athletes
with good moral character.

Persuaded?

Oh, I can twist an
arm when I need to.
