Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:23,223 --> 00:00:25,191
(male narrator)
In the criminal justice system...
2
00:00:25,258 --> 00:00:29,024
the people are represented
by two separate yet equally important groups:
3
00:00:29,095 --> 00:00:30,926
the police
who investigate crime...
4
00:00:30,997 --> 00:00:33,761
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:33,833 --> 00:00:35,232
These are their stories.
6
00:00:36,903 --> 00:00:38,530
Okay. We're getting close.
Okay?
7
00:00:38,638 --> 00:00:40,230
[tape rewinding]
8
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,408
(cameraman)
Okay, folks. 30 seconds to air.
9
00:00:42,475 --> 00:00:43,908
(woman)
Yeah. That's good.
10
00:00:43,977 --> 00:00:45,376
Okay, Allan.
11
00:00:46,112 --> 00:00:48,080
Okay, camera coming through.
12
00:00:48,181 --> 00:00:50,206
Here we go. Let's do this.
13
00:00:50,784 --> 00:00:53,014
How does it look, Bonnie?
Looks great, Rick.
14
00:00:53,086 --> 00:00:55,384
Control your hair,
control your life. (Perkins)
15
00:00:55,455 --> 00:00:57,252
Barry,
can you hear me out there?
16
00:00:57,323 --> 00:00:58,722
Yeah, lock up the street.
I'm coming out.
17
00:00:58,792 --> 00:01:00,851
(Barry)
You got it, Rick. Chucky, frame me up. Signal?
18
00:01:00,927 --> 00:01:02,087
(Perkins)
Signal good to the towers.
19
00:01:02,162 --> 00:01:03,220
All right, standby.
20
00:01:03,296 --> 00:01:04,820
Joey, be a guy.
21
00:01:05,065 --> 00:01:06,464
Plug me in and keep me hot.
22
00:01:06,533 --> 00:01:07,591
(Joey)
Clean and mean, Rick.
23
00:01:07,667 --> 00:01:09,362
(man)
Today, live from the streets of New York....
24
00:01:09,436 --> 00:01:10,801
Okay, it's bingo time.
Coming in 10.
25
00:01:10,870 --> 00:01:12,337
(Perkins)
Three camera's ready.
26
00:01:12,405 --> 00:01:14,100
Show me hard. Light me up.
27
00:01:14,174 --> 00:01:15,766
(Perkins)
Okay, we're going to roll...
28
00:01:15,842 --> 00:01:18,868
coming up to air in five,
four, three....
29
00:01:19,145 --> 00:01:21,045
(man)
...Rick Mason's Final Confession.
30
00:01:21,481 --> 00:01:23,005
I'm Rick Mason.
31
00:01:23,116 --> 00:01:27,348
Today as always,
live on location on Final Confession...
32
00:01:28,054 --> 00:01:31,319
the first exclusive interview
with Dr. Joseph Vinton...
33
00:01:31,391 --> 00:01:33,018
child molester...
34
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:35,891
and one of his victims,
Scott Fisher.
35
00:01:36,629 --> 00:01:38,358
Let's go meet them.
36
00:01:39,732 --> 00:01:41,393
[crowd applauding]
37
00:01:41,568 --> 00:01:43,229
[vehicles honking]
38
00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:45,599
[people chattering]
39
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:50,876
Four years ago,
Dr. Joseph Vinton, a therapist...
40
00:01:51,177 --> 00:01:54,203
recognized for his treatment
of disturbed children...
41
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,941
took Scott Fisher...
42
00:01:56,015 --> 00:01:59,246
then 1 1 years old,
to this restaurant.
43
00:02:02,922 --> 00:02:04,651
[people applauding]
44
00:02:09,329 --> 00:02:12,127
Now, Dr. Vinton sat here
with Scott...
45
00:02:12,265 --> 00:02:13,698
he bought him ice cream...
46
00:02:13,766 --> 00:02:18,601
and he convinced Scott
not to say anything about the abuse that he'd committed...
47
00:02:18,671 --> 00:02:21,731
moments earlier at
his Greenwich Village office.
48
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:24,276
But eventually,
Scott did tell his mother...
49
00:02:24,344 --> 00:02:26,574
and Dr. Vinton went to prison.
50
00:02:27,213 --> 00:02:28,578
Dr. Vinton.
51
00:02:28,781 --> 00:02:32,148
It must be strange for you
coming back to this place.
52
00:02:32,585 --> 00:02:36,043
I'm not concerned
about myself. I'm here to help others.
53
00:02:36,656 --> 00:02:40,888
I've committed
unspeakable crimes, and while I've served my time in jail...
54
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,621
I know it's not enough.
55
00:02:42,695 --> 00:02:46,096
Eighteen months for the abuse
of seven children.
56
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:47,427
Sounds like a cruise.
57
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:48,762
Is that justice?
58
00:02:48,902 --> 00:02:51,097
I don't know what justice is.
59
00:02:51,237 --> 00:02:53,364
I know what I did was awful.
I hurt people.
60
00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:55,464
I can't ever live it down.
61
00:02:55,642 --> 00:02:57,974
Not in 18 months,
or in 18 years.
62
00:02:58,044 --> 00:03:01,207
Now, you wrote a book
in prison about your experiences.
63
00:03:01,314 --> 00:03:04,408
Who would you think
would want to read it? Certainly not my audience!
64
00:03:04,484 --> 00:03:06,008
[people booing]
65
00:03:09,088 --> 00:03:11,716
I didn't face what I'd done
until I was in prison.
66
00:03:11,791 --> 00:03:15,955
The book is
part of my recovery. Part of the reason I'm free today...
67
00:03:16,296 --> 00:03:17,558
to say...
68
00:03:18,064 --> 00:03:19,395
I'm sorry.
69
00:03:20,066 --> 00:03:22,762
To say he's sorry
to two of his victims...
70
00:03:22,835 --> 00:03:25,531
Scott Fisher,
and his mother Sarah.
71
00:03:25,738 --> 00:03:26,796
Now, Scott...
72
00:03:26,873 --> 00:03:30,934
this man took you
into his care and he abused you.
73
00:03:31,978 --> 00:03:33,639
(Mason)
He's willing to acknowledge that.
74
00:03:33,713 --> 00:03:35,044
But if I were you...
75
00:03:35,114 --> 00:03:37,810
I think I would
still be a little angry.
76
00:03:37,951 --> 00:03:39,350
I am, but...
77
00:03:40,453 --> 00:03:42,717
I'm hoping to...
78
00:03:42,789 --> 00:03:44,313
make a start...
79
00:03:45,258 --> 00:03:47,158
at getting it together.
80
00:03:47,227 --> 00:03:48,353
[gunshots]
81
00:03:48,428 --> 00:03:50,089
[people screaming]
82
00:03:52,131 --> 00:03:53,393
[gunshot]
83
00:03:54,968 --> 00:03:56,629
[people clamoring]
84
00:03:57,870 --> 00:04:01,101
This is terrible!
Take us to commercial. Commercial!
85
00:04:50,490 --> 00:04:53,015
I was on air, I didn't see
the father come in.
86
00:04:53,092 --> 00:04:55,754
You knew who he was?
I wanted him on the show.
87
00:04:55,828 --> 00:04:58,160
The wife says he's there,
she's not.
88
00:04:58,231 --> 00:05:00,961
Who dreams he's going
to show up and shoot Vinton?
89
00:05:01,034 --> 00:05:02,524
Vinton gonna make it?
90
00:05:02,602 --> 00:05:04,092
Died in surgery.
Oh, no.
91
00:05:04,170 --> 00:05:06,035
(technician)
Mr. Mason?
92
00:05:06,105 --> 00:05:07,299
[sighs]
93
00:05:08,574 --> 00:05:11,634
Top of the show.
If this doesn't do it...
94
00:05:11,711 --> 00:05:13,144
four million witnesses.
95
00:05:13,212 --> 00:05:16,181
Did the father know
the psychiatrist was going to be here today?
96
00:05:16,249 --> 00:05:18,080
[siren wailing]
No way.
97
00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:20,346
We're on location every week.
98
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:22,481
We never announce
where we're going to be.
99
00:05:22,555 --> 00:05:24,182
That's what I do.
100
00:05:25,258 --> 00:05:28,193
My guests are in a hotel
two days before air.
101
00:05:28,628 --> 00:05:32,894
Even the crew doesn't know
who's gonna be on till just the last minute.
102
00:05:33,066 --> 00:05:35,466
[woman chattering
on police radio]
103
00:05:36,436 --> 00:05:38,495
I could have been shot myself.
104
00:05:38,571 --> 00:05:40,732
Look, if there's
nothing else...
105
00:05:40,807 --> 00:05:42,331
can I take care
of my staff?
106
00:05:42,408 --> 00:05:45,309
Let me give you my card.
You remember anything else give me a call.
107
00:05:45,878 --> 00:05:48,676
Why did he do it?
Because he's crazy, that's why.
108
00:05:48,748 --> 00:05:50,943
You thought your husband
was capable of violence?
109
00:05:51,017 --> 00:05:54,384
It's my fault. He blames me
for what happened to Scotty.
110
00:05:54,454 --> 00:05:55,853
He blames me for everything.
111
00:05:55,922 --> 00:05:59,881
I don't talk to my husband.
I haven't seen him in three years.
112
00:06:00,126 --> 00:06:01,753
So, you didn't expect him
here today?
113
00:06:01,828 --> 00:06:03,819
Well, he attacked Vinton
at his trial.
114
00:06:03,896 --> 00:06:05,363
He got thrown out of the Army.
115
00:06:05,431 --> 00:06:06,989
Why do you think
I divorced him?
116
00:06:07,066 --> 00:06:08,499
Is my dad going to be okay?
117
00:06:08,568 --> 00:06:09,967
(Briscoe)
The wound's not serious.
118
00:06:10,036 --> 00:06:13,403
Officer O'Brien is going to
take you home, all right?
119
00:06:15,675 --> 00:06:17,768
Where is that
security director Talbott?
120
00:06:17,844 --> 00:06:20,540
I sent him back
to the precinct. We'll get his statement.
121
00:06:20,613 --> 00:06:23,104
What? He's an ex-cop.
He did his job.
122
00:06:23,182 --> 00:06:24,945
You want to book him
for shooting the father?
123
00:06:25,017 --> 00:06:26,450
If you don't mind,
I've got a question.
124
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:28,783
How'd the father know
to come here today?
125
00:06:28,855 --> 00:06:31,653
Come on, Mike, break it up,
move along. Nothing to see here.
126
00:06:31,724 --> 00:06:35,353
Secret location,
lots of security. How did Fisher get here?
127
00:06:35,595 --> 00:06:37,756
He shot the guy
who molested his kid.
128
00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:39,923
I don't care
if an avenging angel sent him.
129
00:06:39,999 --> 00:06:41,796
I might've done the same thing
if it was my kid.
130
00:06:41,868 --> 00:06:42,926
Oh, I guess, case closed.
131
00:06:43,002 --> 00:06:44,993
That's what Van Buren
will say.
132
00:06:46,172 --> 00:06:47,833
How did the father
get there?
133
00:06:47,907 --> 00:06:49,067
Who cares?
134
00:06:49,142 --> 00:06:51,804
In Narcotics,
we didn't care when scum dealers got shot...
135
00:06:51,878 --> 00:06:53,903
we did want to find out
who shot them.
136
00:06:53,980 --> 00:06:57,074
We have the killer
in an operating room at Bellevue.
137
00:06:57,150 --> 00:06:58,981
Just tell me
how Fisher got there.
138
00:06:59,051 --> 00:07:01,349
We drop it and he does
his 25 years.
139
00:07:01,421 --> 00:07:03,912
What did the wife say?
He was in the Army...
140
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:05,958
in the Rangers in Vietnam?
141
00:07:06,025 --> 00:07:07,993
Those guys
can track a leopard in the rain...
142
00:07:08,060 --> 00:07:09,652
so, maybe
he stalked the shrink.
143
00:07:09,729 --> 00:07:11,754
(Logan)
A shrink child molester.
144
00:07:11,831 --> 00:07:13,298
I wonder what's next
on his show...
145
00:07:13,366 --> 00:07:14,993
family dog gets a sex change?
146
00:07:15,067 --> 00:07:17,092
Or girl gives birth
to a baby pig.
147
00:07:17,170 --> 00:07:20,867
My mother likes those shows,
along with the rest of America.
148
00:07:21,474 --> 00:07:22,941
What do you want to do?
149
00:07:23,009 --> 00:07:25,876
Hey, we already have
four open homicides.
150
00:07:26,112 --> 00:07:29,570
Now, wait a minute.
If he stalked him, he could have hit him in an alleyway...
151
00:07:29,649 --> 00:07:31,276
he could have hit him
driving a car.
152
00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:34,012
He picks today
when four million people are watching...
153
00:07:34,086 --> 00:07:36,020
in a place he's not even
supposed to know about?
154
00:07:36,088 --> 00:07:37,521
I'm just saying
let's give it a day.
155
00:07:37,590 --> 00:07:40,423
If nothing happens,
the case closes itself.
156
00:07:41,427 --> 00:07:43,452
Talbott,
Mason's head of security...
157
00:07:43,529 --> 00:07:46,293
the one who shot the father,
we've got him upstairs. So?
158
00:07:46,365 --> 00:07:47,764
Bring him down.
159
00:07:48,468 --> 00:07:51,801
I don't know how he got there.
At least I zipped him.
160
00:07:51,871 --> 00:07:54,431
God knows
who he would have shot next.
161
00:07:54,507 --> 00:07:56,975
You'd think someone
would have noticed him at the restaurant.
162
00:07:57,043 --> 00:07:59,375
They were
rounding up audience off the street.
163
00:07:59,445 --> 00:08:01,504
I wish I'd seen him sooner,
but, hey...
164
00:08:01,581 --> 00:08:02,775
it was a crowd.
165
00:08:02,849 --> 00:08:04,441
You'd already met the father?
166
00:08:04,517 --> 00:08:06,542
Saw his picture in a file.
167
00:08:06,886 --> 00:08:08,410
Hey, hold on...
168
00:08:08,688 --> 00:08:12,818
Twenty years in the 31, l
know the drill. Now, am I here to give a statement or what?
169
00:08:12,892 --> 00:08:14,792
Easy, Barry.
Nobody's blaming you.
170
00:08:14,861 --> 00:08:16,886
But the wife said
her husband was a wacko.
171
00:08:16,963 --> 00:08:18,260
You weren't worried?
172
00:08:18,331 --> 00:08:20,196
I never talked to the guy
myself....
173
00:08:20,266 --> 00:08:22,791
Yeah, I knew he was a nut,
but a gun?
174
00:08:23,870 --> 00:08:25,997
You're sure Mrs. Fisher
didn't know where the show was?
175
00:08:26,072 --> 00:08:27,767
Unless she reads minds.
176
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,707
She don't find out
until we drive her there.
177
00:08:30,776 --> 00:08:34,507
Do me a favor, use the desk.
Finish typing up this statement.
178
00:08:37,316 --> 00:08:39,079
Nice guy.
Oh, sure.
179
00:08:39,285 --> 00:08:40,684
Retired cop.
180
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:42,279
What?
181
00:08:44,156 --> 00:08:47,785
He knows Fisher
was in the Army, has a history of violence.
182
00:08:48,127 --> 00:08:50,823
What? He's surprised the guy
shows up with a gun?
183
00:08:50,897 --> 00:08:53,491
Well, I thought you said
we had four open homicides.
184
00:08:53,566 --> 00:08:56,865
The bodies are frozen.
They're not going to thaw out.
185
00:08:57,770 --> 00:08:59,738
Okay, let's call the D.A.
186
00:08:59,805 --> 00:09:03,172
Maybe we get in to see
Pop Fisher. He sure as hell knows how he got there.
187
00:09:03,242 --> 00:09:07,178
Yeah, he's in post-op,
sedated. They won't put him in his room till the morning.
188
00:09:09,916 --> 00:09:11,178
[woman chattering on PA]
189
00:09:11,250 --> 00:09:13,115
I followed the son of a bitch.
I shot him.
190
00:09:13,185 --> 00:09:15,983
(Briscoe)
Where did you follow Vinton from?
191
00:09:16,789 --> 00:09:18,518
(Logan)
You're going to prison.
192
00:09:18,591 --> 00:09:21,116
If you help us,
maybe the D.A. will help you.
193
00:09:21,193 --> 00:09:23,889
Sid. The D.A.
says if you cooperate-- You're a lawyer, right?
194
00:09:23,963 --> 00:09:26,989
Listen up,
no jury puts me in jail for what I did.
195
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:29,000
Sid, you listen.
It's a question of for how long.
196
00:09:29,068 --> 00:09:30,160
Like Vinton.
197
00:09:30,236 --> 00:09:33,137
Country club, 18 months.
He deserved to die.
198
00:09:33,239 --> 00:09:37,073
All right, look, we can do
this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way.
199
00:09:37,143 --> 00:09:40,306
I didn't talk to Mason,
Talbott, any of his people.
200
00:09:40,379 --> 00:09:43,576
But you know the name
of the head of his security.
201
00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:46,550
Hell, yeah, I know his name.
He put a hole in my shoulder.
202
00:09:46,652 --> 00:09:48,847
Sid, this
isn't getting anywhere.
203
00:09:48,921 --> 00:09:51,151
I shot an animal.
Call the vet.
204
00:09:52,124 --> 00:09:55,651
If I'd known
this would happen, obviously we wouldn't have gone on TV.
205
00:09:55,728 --> 00:09:57,127
Well, after what
you'd been through...
206
00:09:57,196 --> 00:10:00,029
some people would wonder
why you went on TV at all.
207
00:10:00,099 --> 00:10:04,331
I thought we could help
others. I thought it would be good for Scotty.
208
00:10:04,937 --> 00:10:07,337
We'd have an ending,
a resolution.
209
00:10:09,008 --> 00:10:11,499
Scotty, ahem,
let me ask you...
210
00:10:11,811 --> 00:10:13,745
did you want your father
there?
211
00:10:13,813 --> 00:10:17,442
He's not in touch with Sid.
The court arranges everything.
212
00:10:17,550 --> 00:10:21,077
But, it must have been painful
seeing Vinton again, huh?
213
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:25,451
Well, after three years,
it was okay.
214
00:10:26,325 --> 00:10:28,452
You knew your dad was angry?
215
00:10:28,661 --> 00:10:31,255
Dad's angry
about what happened to me.
216
00:10:31,864 --> 00:10:33,297
He has a right to be.
217
00:10:33,366 --> 00:10:34,856
(Sarah)
Scotty.
218
00:10:35,067 --> 00:10:36,967
So, Dr. Vinton is dead.
219
00:10:37,069 --> 00:10:40,129
Scotty, I want to talk
to the detectives alone.
220
00:10:44,076 --> 00:10:47,375
You see how upset he is?
We're victims of this, too.
221
00:10:48,214 --> 00:10:52,548
My husband's temper destroyed
my son and my marriage. I didn't tell him.
222
00:10:52,618 --> 00:10:55,018
I didn't know
where we were going.
223
00:10:56,922 --> 00:10:58,913
He can't remember
how he found Vinton.
224
00:10:58,991 --> 00:11:00,982
Must be trauma
from the wound.
225
00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:02,960
Had to be his wife.
She got to him.
226
00:11:03,029 --> 00:11:05,520
Mrs. Fisher's lying?
Come on, she hates her husband.
227
00:11:05,598 --> 00:11:07,828
She doesn't have to like him
to wind him up.
228
00:11:07,900 --> 00:11:09,333
Yeah, but she
wouldn't want him there.
229
00:11:09,402 --> 00:11:11,029
She'd be afraid
he'd shoot her.
230
00:11:11,103 --> 00:11:14,561
"The killing of Dr. Vinton
comes at the start of the television period...
231
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:19,236
"known as sweeps. Ratings of
Rick Mason's Final Confession are expected to rise...
232
00:11:19,311 --> 00:11:23,145
30% in the top 25 markets."
233
00:11:23,416 --> 00:11:25,748
Oh, Mason did it
for the ratings.
234
00:11:25,851 --> 00:11:29,582
He's a saint, and his show
caters to the highest instincts of human nature.
235
00:11:29,655 --> 00:11:30,781
Look at him, he's scum.
236
00:11:30,856 --> 00:11:32,255
So, change the channel.
237
00:11:32,324 --> 00:11:35,555
Are you listening to yourself?
First Pop, then Mom, now Mason.
238
00:11:35,628 --> 00:11:37,323
It's an Oliver Stone movie.
239
00:11:37,396 --> 00:11:38,920
All right, nobody planned it.
240
00:11:38,998 --> 00:11:43,162
It still doesn't answer
my question. How did Fisher know where to go?
241
00:11:43,602 --> 00:11:45,695
That security chief, Talbott?
242
00:11:45,771 --> 00:11:49,070
He had the mother and son
in a hotel for two days.
243
00:11:52,912 --> 00:11:54,675
Fifth floor. Adjoining suites.
244
00:11:54,747 --> 00:11:56,942
Mrs. Fisher and the boy.
Very private.
245
00:11:57,049 --> 00:11:58,914
So, if we called
we couldn't get through.
246
00:11:58,984 --> 00:12:00,815
Discretion is our middle name.
247
00:12:00,886 --> 00:12:05,016
No, Mr. Mason's guests
and Mr. Talbott weren't even on the computer.
248
00:12:05,124 --> 00:12:06,489
Here we go.
249
00:12:07,026 --> 00:12:10,393
The Fishers, no phone calls.
Talbott, local only.
250
00:12:11,697 --> 00:12:14,097
All to the same number.
Mason's office.
251
00:12:14,166 --> 00:12:15,827
Was Mr. Mason here
Tuesday night?
252
00:12:15,901 --> 00:12:17,766
He came in about 5:00.
253
00:12:18,003 --> 00:12:20,471
I took him up myself
in the service elevator.
254
00:12:20,539 --> 00:12:23,372
Mr. M. hates the lobby.
Samsonite tourists.
255
00:12:23,476 --> 00:12:25,205
He left about 7:00.
256
00:12:25,377 --> 00:12:28,403
Are there any pay phones
upstairs? On the residential floors?
257
00:12:28,481 --> 00:12:30,506
If they use pay phones,
we lose our surcharge.
258
00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:32,244
Anywhere other than the lobby?
259
00:12:32,318 --> 00:12:35,810
Yeah, there's one
on the mezzanine, third floor. Very private.
260
00:12:35,955 --> 00:12:37,786
Okay, thanks. Hey.
261
00:12:38,157 --> 00:12:39,818
9:53 p.m.
262
00:12:40,259 --> 00:12:42,557
A phone call
from the mezzanine.
263
00:12:43,062 --> 00:12:45,394
To 526 East 91st Street.
264
00:12:45,598 --> 00:12:47,259
Sid Fisher's place.
265
00:12:47,333 --> 00:12:49,494
I guess the bellboy
made the call.
266
00:12:49,568 --> 00:12:51,297
Mason left at 7:00.
267
00:12:52,004 --> 00:12:53,403
Talbott was still there.
268
00:12:53,472 --> 00:12:55,303
Somebody has good instincts.
269
00:12:55,374 --> 00:12:58,343
Which one of you said
Mr. Talbott should learn to lie better?
270
00:12:58,410 --> 00:12:59,775
Both of us.
271
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:02,975
He said 20 years on the force?
272
00:13:03,048 --> 00:13:06,347
Sixteen. Never made sergeant,
tried three times.
273
00:13:06,418 --> 00:13:09,216
I.A. investigation
said payoffs from dealers.
274
00:13:09,288 --> 00:13:11,882
They never made the case.
He resigned.
275
00:13:15,928 --> 00:13:18,362
Even a hero needs a pension,
Barry.
276
00:13:18,764 --> 00:13:20,664
This is what you wanted
to talk about?
277
00:13:20,733 --> 00:13:22,724
How much is your pension?
278
00:13:24,036 --> 00:13:25,264
(Buren)
You don't have one.
279
00:13:25,704 --> 00:13:28,969
You didn't do 20 years.
Your career was over in 16.
280
00:13:29,842 --> 00:13:32,242
We're having a problem
with your statement.
281
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:35,508
You see, Barry,
you said you never talked to Sid Fisher.
282
00:13:35,581 --> 00:13:39,881
You said Mrs. Fisher
and her son were under your full-time surveillance.
283
00:13:39,952 --> 00:13:44,787
Trouble is, somebody called
Mr. Fisher the night before the broadcast.
284
00:13:44,990 --> 00:13:46,617
From a pay phone at the hotel.
285
00:13:46,692 --> 00:13:49,525
Now either you called,
or you know who did.
286
00:13:50,129 --> 00:13:53,860
One last shot
at the Sergeant's Exam. Check the box.
287
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:58,103
Is accessory to murder
an A or a B felony?
288
00:13:58,637 --> 00:14:00,264
I lost my pencil.
289
00:14:01,273 --> 00:14:03,264
The call was made, Barry.
290
00:14:03,776 --> 00:14:07,473
You were a cop,
work your own testimony, see where it leads.
291
00:14:12,985 --> 00:14:14,009
[sighs]
292
00:14:14,086 --> 00:14:15,212
I....
293
00:14:16,155 --> 00:14:17,747
I got four kids.
294
00:14:18,257 --> 00:14:19,884
I needed the job.
295
00:14:21,093 --> 00:14:25,154
I didn't call Fisher.
I didn't tell Mrs. Fisher where the show was.
296
00:14:26,265 --> 00:14:27,391
The night before...
297
00:14:27,466 --> 00:14:30,833
Rick's on the phone
at the hotel. He's on the phone with his lawyer.
298
00:14:30,903 --> 00:14:32,234
I'm worried.
299
00:14:32,304 --> 00:14:36,001
We know Fisher is wired,
he slugged the shrink at the trial.
300
00:14:36,408 --> 00:14:39,468
I heard he pistol-whipped
some kid in the Army.
301
00:14:39,578 --> 00:14:41,341
I hear Rick say to the lawyer:
302
00:14:41,413 --> 00:14:43,813
"We talked about this.
What do you want me to do?
303
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:45,282
"Cancel the show?
304
00:14:45,351 --> 00:14:48,912
If it happens, just tell me
what kind of trouble I'm in."
305
00:14:50,089 --> 00:14:52,489
I figured
I'd better clean my gun.
306
00:14:58,597 --> 00:15:01,896
Take a breath, Detective.
This is completely absurd.
307
00:15:01,967 --> 00:15:04,367
What am I hearing?
That you're investigating my client?
308
00:15:04,436 --> 00:15:06,404
On the word of a crooked
ex-cop?
309
00:15:06,472 --> 00:15:09,407
Who was crooked
when you hired him. And when I fired him.
310
00:15:09,475 --> 00:15:11,340
Did he tell you that?
Day after the show.
311
00:15:11,410 --> 00:15:14,436
Barry Talbott was hired
to protect my client's guests.
312
00:15:14,513 --> 00:15:16,504
I told Barry, heads-up...
313
00:15:16,815 --> 00:15:20,342
Fisher could track his wife.
Why do you think I wanted Fisher on the show?
314
00:15:20,419 --> 00:15:23,820
We get him there,
we could've made sure he didn't have a gun.
315
00:15:23,889 --> 00:15:28,019
The day it happened,
you were surprised he owned a gun.
316
00:15:28,460 --> 00:15:31,054
The idea that my client
is responsible--
317
00:15:31,130 --> 00:15:33,360
Your client?
Check your shorts.
318
00:15:33,432 --> 00:15:37,630
Mr. Talbott tells us
that Mr. Mason called you before the shooting.
319
00:15:37,703 --> 00:15:39,637
Says you knew about
the mystery guest.
320
00:15:39,705 --> 00:15:41,832
One, no such conversation.
321
00:15:42,207 --> 00:15:45,040
Two,
this imaginary conversation took place?
322
00:15:45,144 --> 00:15:47,840
Privileged. Three,
if Talbott overheard it...
323
00:15:47,913 --> 00:15:52,043
privilege extends to him
as an employee of my client. Close your notebook.
324
00:15:52,117 --> 00:15:53,982
The interview is over.
325
00:15:54,653 --> 00:15:56,052
She denied talking to him?
326
00:15:56,121 --> 00:15:57,952
Oh, but you should have seen
the look on her face.
327
00:15:58,023 --> 00:15:59,422
This is one scared lady.
328
00:15:59,491 --> 00:16:02,983
The D.A. says it's not enough.
Dirty ex-cop? Not a great witness.
329
00:16:03,062 --> 00:16:05,326
Look, we know
Mason set this up.
330
00:16:05,397 --> 00:16:08,332
He wanted the guy shot,
he somehow got the father there.
331
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,392
Mason, all these guys,
they'll do anything for higher ratings.
332
00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:12,994
So, that's what's going down.
333
00:16:13,439 --> 00:16:15,964
Somebody gets killed,
these guys break out the champagne.
334
00:16:16,041 --> 00:16:19,272
We can't prove that.
We don't know who called the father from the hotel.
335
00:16:19,345 --> 00:16:22,803
Fisher's wife.
Mason called her. Or he told the kid.
336
00:16:23,015 --> 00:16:25,745
That makes no sense.
Sarah Fisher protecting Mason?
337
00:16:25,818 --> 00:16:28,082
If she knew he set it up,
why won't she tell us?
338
00:16:28,153 --> 00:16:29,814
Who knows why this lady
does anything?
339
00:16:29,888 --> 00:16:32,152
Why'd she bring her kid
on TV in the first place?
340
00:16:32,224 --> 00:16:35,557
"Hello, America,
here's my molested son, watch him suffer."
341
00:16:35,627 --> 00:16:38,721
We have shrinks
on the payroll. Give them a call.
342
00:16:40,833 --> 00:16:44,098
You're asking me to explain
the behavior of a woman I've never met.
343
00:16:44,169 --> 00:16:47,104
(Logan)
Look, we need an idea, someplace to start.
344
00:16:47,172 --> 00:16:50,471
I usually try and avoid
making diagnoses over lunch.
345
00:16:54,013 --> 00:16:57,505
Okay, this is speculation.
What did Mason do for Sarah Fisher?
346
00:16:57,583 --> 00:16:59,551
He gave her an obituary.
347
00:16:59,651 --> 00:17:03,246
She wanted Vinton dead?
I don't think so. He molested her son.
348
00:17:03,355 --> 00:17:06,449
And in a way she was molested,
too. She goes on TV, she gets support.
349
00:17:06,525 --> 00:17:08,857
She even gets applause.
She doesn't want Vinton dead...
350
00:17:08,927 --> 00:17:10,622
she wants to do
Oprah and Donahue with him.
351
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:12,129
That's her way
of getting through it.
352
00:17:12,197 --> 00:17:14,791
Then she wouldn't have helped
her husband kill Vinton.
353
00:17:14,867 --> 00:17:16,494
No, but her son might.
354
00:17:16,568 --> 00:17:19,002
That makes more sense.
Mason tells the kid...
355
00:17:19,071 --> 00:17:20,470
the kid phones his father.
356
00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:23,906
She's not protecting Mason.
She's protecting her son.
357
00:17:26,445 --> 00:17:28,504
You're making it worse
by being here.
358
00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:30,844
Your husband
didn't do this alone.
359
00:17:30,916 --> 00:17:33,248
Mason picked you and Scott
for a reason.
360
00:17:33,318 --> 00:17:36,754
I watched his shows.
I guess I should have realized....
361
00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:40,154
I really can't tell you
anything.
362
00:17:40,225 --> 00:17:43,023
You knew what your husband
was planning...
363
00:17:43,495 --> 00:17:47,397
and you called him.
That makes you a coconspirator and you could be indicted.
364
00:17:47,466 --> 00:17:50,299
Mom, don't--
Scotty! I don't know anything.
365
00:17:50,402 --> 00:17:53,371
Mason went to the hotel
and he told you to call your husband.
366
00:17:53,439 --> 00:17:55,634
(Briscoe)
Did he tell you it would make a better show?
367
00:17:55,707 --> 00:17:59,302
Did he offer you money?
Did he tell you your husband was going to shoot Vinton?
368
00:17:59,378 --> 00:18:01,369
Unless, of course,
he talked to you, Scott.
369
00:18:01,447 --> 00:18:03,438
Scotty, I don't think
you should be here right now.
370
00:18:03,515 --> 00:18:04,641
Mom, you don't have to--
371
00:18:04,716 --> 00:18:07,617
It doesn't matter
who Mr. Mason talked to...
372
00:18:07,786 --> 00:18:09,447
it's too late now.
373
00:18:09,721 --> 00:18:10,745
[sighs]
374
00:18:10,823 --> 00:18:13,758
Neither of us
should have been alone with him.
375
00:18:14,159 --> 00:18:16,389
We shouldn't be alone
with you.
376
00:18:17,196 --> 00:18:18,390
[telephones ringing]
377
00:18:18,464 --> 00:18:20,830
Olivet's right.
She's not giving up her son.
378
00:18:20,899 --> 00:18:25,836
Mason's gonna get away
with this. Do you think the D.A.'s gonna touch this?
379
00:18:25,904 --> 00:18:28,668
Nah, guys like Mason
don't go to jail.
380
00:18:28,740 --> 00:18:31,675
They go to country clubs
and they get awards.
381
00:18:32,010 --> 00:18:35,411
Yeah,
what did Sarah Fisher say?
382
00:18:36,081 --> 00:18:39,175
She watched his shows,
so she should have known.
383
00:18:39,751 --> 00:18:43,016
So?
So, do you watch his show? I don't.
384
00:18:43,188 --> 00:18:46,282
Maybe we should.
Maybe the guy's got some bad habits we don't know about.
385
00:18:46,358 --> 00:18:47,916
Yeah,
that'll get us an arrest.
386
00:18:47,993 --> 00:18:51,952
It might get us something
that will convince the D.A. that this guy set up a murder.
387
00:18:55,367 --> 00:18:56,664
I never watch
the competition.
388
00:18:56,735 --> 00:18:58,066
Hey, this isn't
a press conference.
389
00:18:58,137 --> 00:19:00,002
Mason's a major player
in this industry.
390
00:19:00,072 --> 00:19:02,870
Mr. Hudson, we're interested
in opinions, not resumes.
391
00:19:02,941 --> 00:19:04,841
And this is
a murder investigation.
392
00:19:04,910 --> 00:19:07,572
Well, which opinion
would you like? Mason's Nielsens were down?
393
00:19:07,646 --> 00:19:12,140
Read it in Variety.
Which comes first? His conviction or his Emmy?
394
00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:17,380
Well, what are you, new?
Nobody in the business was surprised.
395
00:19:17,456 --> 00:19:19,356
You see that woman in Florida?
396
00:19:19,424 --> 00:19:21,449
Husband shoots her
at their daughter's grave.
397
00:19:21,527 --> 00:19:23,392
Same day network news.
398
00:19:23,495 --> 00:19:25,326
I'd sell my poodle
for that kind of hype.
399
00:19:25,397 --> 00:19:27,763
And shooting a child molester
is even better.
400
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:29,164
Cable operators are asking...
401
00:19:29,234 --> 00:19:32,465
the State of Nevada
to televise executions pay-per-view.
402
00:19:32,538 --> 00:19:33,937
Snuff for you?
403
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:37,772
Smell blood yet?
Television 101, no jeopardy, no viewers.
404
00:19:37,843 --> 00:19:40,471
No viewers, no sponsors.
No sponsors-- No money.
405
00:19:40,546 --> 00:19:43,538
Oh, no, marquee.
The marquee, his name over the title.
406
00:19:43,615 --> 00:19:46,607
Without a show,
Mason's nothing but letterhead.
407
00:19:47,786 --> 00:19:50,584
I know a girl, Debby Corrio.
Sweet kid.
408
00:19:51,490 --> 00:19:55,449
She used to work for him.
She'll take you backstage.
409
00:19:56,128 --> 00:19:59,029
Why does everyone think
I was fired? I quit.
410
00:19:59,231 --> 00:20:01,222
Better job?
Better life.
411
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:02,790
I couldn't take
another minute.
412
00:20:02,868 --> 00:20:05,496
What's on 4:30?
Final Confession.
413
00:20:05,571 --> 00:20:07,937
5:00, last rites.
414
00:20:08,006 --> 00:20:11,066
Nobody ever got shot
on his show. It was coming.
415
00:20:12,511 --> 00:20:13,876
You know the Pulisi trial?
416
00:20:13,946 --> 00:20:17,211
He had one of the jurors on.
Four days later, the man disappeared.
417
00:20:17,282 --> 00:20:20,479
Hey, a mob-trial juror
goes on TV? He's asking for it.
418
00:20:20,552 --> 00:20:24,386
You should have seen Mason
trying to convince him he'd be safe.
419
00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:27,283
Eight months ago
we were doing this spot.
420
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,328
I found a diva, 19,
has an act in The Village.
421
00:20:30,395 --> 00:20:33,262
I say, "Rick Mason
wants you to sing on his show."
422
00:20:33,332 --> 00:20:35,027
So, she's in heaven.
423
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:38,558
No, he's at Bergdorf's
picking out a little black dress.
424
00:20:38,837 --> 00:20:40,828
He's wearing a dress. So?
425
00:20:41,573 --> 00:20:43,507
You want to see why I quit?
426
00:20:43,575 --> 00:20:45,008
I'll get you the tape.
427
00:20:45,711 --> 00:20:47,804
I don't care if he's a bully.
It's not admissible.
428
00:20:47,879 --> 00:20:49,540
We're not talking
admissibility.
429
00:20:49,615 --> 00:20:52,982
It's motive. They're trying
to give you a reason to make the case.
430
00:20:53,051 --> 00:20:54,416
Watch this.
431
00:20:56,555 --> 00:21:00,958
[audience applauding]
Sophie, Georgette and Mary.
432
00:21:01,627 --> 00:21:03,788
Boys who sing like girls.
433
00:21:04,296 --> 00:21:06,594
Tonight,
live on Final Confession.
434
00:21:06,665 --> 00:21:09,156
Stay with us.
Don't go away, we'll be right back.
435
00:21:09,234 --> 00:21:11,566
(technician)
We go to commercial.
436
00:21:14,339 --> 00:21:16,807
Mary? Is this what
you really want to do?
437
00:21:16,875 --> 00:21:18,399
I just wanted to sing,
Mr. Mason.
438
00:21:18,477 --> 00:21:22,140
But it's not you, Mary.
Don't you want to be yourself tonight?
439
00:21:22,214 --> 00:21:23,511
I don't know....
440
00:21:23,582 --> 00:21:26,244
They love you.
Show them who you really are.
441
00:21:26,318 --> 00:21:29,947
They want you to be happy.
They told me. They're both here?
442
00:21:30,856 --> 00:21:33,620
Yeah, atta girl.
All right, head's up. We're coming back.
443
00:21:33,692 --> 00:21:36,718
(man)
In five, four, three....
444
00:21:37,229 --> 00:21:38,560
[audience applauding]
445
00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:41,064
Tonight,
live on Final Confession.
446
00:21:41,767 --> 00:21:45,100
Mary is really Tommy Turner...
447
00:21:46,104 --> 00:21:47,594
and tonight...
448
00:21:47,906 --> 00:21:50,773
she tells the two people
that love her the most.
449
00:21:50,842 --> 00:21:53,675
Howard? Elaine?
Would you come out, please?
450
00:21:57,282 --> 00:21:59,614
Do you recognize
this young lady?
451
00:22:03,021 --> 00:22:04,215
Dad....
452
00:22:05,824 --> 00:22:06,984
Tommy?
453
00:22:08,293 --> 00:22:09,783
[Howard pants]
454
00:22:09,861 --> 00:22:11,226
Oh, my God.
455
00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:12,761
Oh, no....
456
00:22:14,299 --> 00:22:17,598
The father walked out
of the show and had a coronary.
457
00:22:17,669 --> 00:22:20,399
The kid felt so guilty,
a week later he killed himself.
458
00:22:20,472 --> 00:22:22,235
Mason destroys people.
459
00:22:22,307 --> 00:22:25,606
It doesn't prove anything.
Claire, it proves who he is.
460
00:22:25,677 --> 00:22:29,477
We can't make this work,
all we got left is rubber hoses.
461
00:22:30,482 --> 00:22:32,382
You can hit him harder.
462
00:22:39,524 --> 00:22:41,321
You can't be serious.
463
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,357
You don't think
we should go after him?
464
00:22:43,428 --> 00:22:46,397
What he does may be sleazy,
but it's not criminal.
465
00:22:46,465 --> 00:22:48,296
If he arranged a murder,
it is.
466
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:51,598
You can't believe
that Mason knew Fisher was coming with a gun.
467
00:22:51,670 --> 00:22:54,138
Miss Kincaid, he wanted
to get the man there.
468
00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:56,231
Expected a fistfight,
got a homicide.
469
00:22:56,308 --> 00:22:59,539
If intent to cause injury
causes death, it's man one.
470
00:22:59,611 --> 00:23:01,101
At the least,
it's facilitation.
471
00:23:01,179 --> 00:23:03,079
How do we prove facilitation?
472
00:23:03,148 --> 00:23:06,379
You're not suggesting
we offer the father a deal for his son's testimony?
473
00:23:06,451 --> 00:23:08,442
Why not?
He gets man one anyway.
474
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,148
And no jury convicts
on murder two.
475
00:23:11,690 --> 00:23:14,921
Half the country
wants to name him Father of the Year.
476
00:23:14,993 --> 00:23:16,961
You know what Mason'll do.
477
00:23:17,028 --> 00:23:19,758
Call himself a journalist
and wrap himself in the First Amendment.
478
00:23:19,831 --> 00:23:23,062
Well, let him wrap himself
in the American flag. He's not Tom Brokaw.
479
00:23:23,135 --> 00:23:27,094
By the way, Adam,
the father fired his lawyer. He's going pro se.
480
00:23:27,205 --> 00:23:28,297
Jerk.
481
00:23:28,807 --> 00:23:31,401
So, I figure we offer him
a deal, he doesn't want to take it...
482
00:23:31,476 --> 00:23:33,774
we say we're adding his son
to the charge.
483
00:23:33,845 --> 00:23:36,905
It's not the father
we're after, it's Mason.
484
00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:38,913
We're not going to
indict the kid to get him.
485
00:23:38,984 --> 00:23:41,509
No, but the father
doesn't know that.
486
00:23:42,454 --> 00:23:43,819
Let's hope.
487
00:23:44,689 --> 00:23:47,021
My son had nothing to do
with it.
488
00:23:47,626 --> 00:23:48,650
[sighs]
489
00:23:48,727 --> 00:23:52,458
Well, we think that your wife
will testify otherwise.
490
00:23:53,165 --> 00:23:54,894
Not against my son.
491
00:23:57,235 --> 00:23:58,702
Mr. Fisher...
492
00:23:59,971 --> 00:24:03,737
if your son did help you
get to Dr. Vinton...
493
00:24:04,743 --> 00:24:06,404
he's an accessory.
494
00:24:07,212 --> 00:24:09,112
He will go to Spofford.
495
00:24:09,181 --> 00:24:11,206
I shot a man on principle.
496
00:24:12,784 --> 00:24:15,309
You torment my son
in front of me....
497
00:24:16,855 --> 00:24:20,814
You have no principles.
And you speak for the State.
498
00:24:22,627 --> 00:24:24,527
We'll see you in court.
499
00:24:25,730 --> 00:24:28,665
We'll provide you with help
for your defense.
500
00:24:31,636 --> 00:24:35,970
If you leave my son alone,
I'll tell you what you want to know.
501
00:24:39,544 --> 00:24:43,036
The offer is manslaughter
in the first degree, you do 8-to-25...
502
00:24:43,114 --> 00:24:46,572
if you tell the truth and
if your testimony is useful. That is the deal.
503
00:24:46,651 --> 00:24:51,179
The deal is my son
never appears in court, for any reason.
504
00:24:51,890 --> 00:24:53,084
Agreed?
505
00:24:53,325 --> 00:24:55,259
I can promise that
he won't be indicted.
506
00:24:55,327 --> 00:24:57,852
I cannot promise you
that he won't appear as witness.
507
00:24:57,929 --> 00:25:00,227
You don't need him
as a witness.
508
00:25:03,201 --> 00:25:06,193
Mason called
a couple of weeks before the show.
509
00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:10,405
Said Sarah was dragging
Scotty on.
510
00:25:11,610 --> 00:25:12,634
Humiliate him.
511
00:25:12,711 --> 00:25:17,148
Vinton sells a million books,
laughs till he cries. What am I going to do?
512
00:25:17,983 --> 00:25:22,647
He told me it was at Waverly.
I went and shot the son of a bitch.
513
00:25:22,921 --> 00:25:24,445
(Stone)
That's a lie, sir.
514
00:25:25,891 --> 00:25:29,383
I told you the deal depends
on you telling the truth.
515
00:25:30,095 --> 00:25:32,120
I cannot let you
commit perjury.
516
00:25:32,197 --> 00:25:36,031
I am not dragging Scotty
through anything else, do you hear me?
517
00:25:36,668 --> 00:25:39,330
My boy had to testify
against Vinton.
518
00:25:40,705 --> 00:25:44,004
He never appears
in court again the rest of his life.
519
00:25:45,343 --> 00:25:48,506
I didn't get any calls,
I didn't talk to anybody.
520
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,847
We can't use him. He'll lie.
521
00:25:59,291 --> 00:26:01,486
He probably
did talk to Mason.
522
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,924
Well, that's not
the whole truth and we both know it.
523
00:26:04,996 --> 00:26:09,330
He laid it all on Mason
to keep it away from his son, and Mason's smart.
524
00:26:09,801 --> 00:26:14,534
He used the son to incite
the father, makes facilitation that much harder to prove.
525
00:26:14,606 --> 00:26:18,542
Plus, he could figure that
the Fishers would never want the kid back in the limelight.
526
00:26:18,610 --> 00:26:20,202
But without him,
there's no case.
527
00:26:20,278 --> 00:26:21,802
This family....
528
00:26:22,581 --> 00:26:26,608
They haven't been
in the same room together in three years.
529
00:26:30,889 --> 00:26:35,053
Mrs. Fisher, we believe
that you and your son conspired with your husband.
530
00:26:35,126 --> 00:26:37,287
Scott talked to your husband
before the shooting.
531
00:26:37,362 --> 00:26:41,321
We're certain you knew it and
if we have to, we'll charge you both as accessories.
532
00:26:41,399 --> 00:26:43,731
So, Scott, help your dad.
533
00:26:44,369 --> 00:26:46,667
Tell the truth and
he gets out of prison sooner.
534
00:26:46,738 --> 00:26:49,229
Scotty.
I'm done controlling myself.
535
00:26:50,408 --> 00:26:52,899
Dad said it's okay
to feel that way.
536
00:26:54,679 --> 00:26:57,546
Mr. Mason told me
where it was going to be.
537
00:27:01,686 --> 00:27:03,278
I called my dad.
538
00:27:07,058 --> 00:27:08,685
This way, please.

[door closing]
543
00:27:18,970 --> 00:27:20,369
I thought
we were closing a deal.
544
00:27:20,438 --> 00:27:22,736
Your son just cut a new deal
for you.
545
00:27:22,807 --> 00:27:24,798
You had to put it on him.
546
00:27:25,310 --> 00:27:27,505
Is this today's solution?
Blame it on our son?
547
00:27:27,579 --> 00:27:32,073
Don't dump this on me.
I put him in therapy, you put him in a murder trial.
548
00:27:32,183 --> 00:27:35,016
Sid, there's no justice.
At least we can have recovery.
549
00:27:35,086 --> 00:27:37,486
Keep your recovery.
I got revenge.
550
00:27:38,390 --> 00:27:40,449
This is finished.
Dad, don't do that.
551
00:27:40,525 --> 00:27:43,961
Scotty's telling the truth,
he called Sid.
552
00:27:44,429 --> 00:27:46,624
He told me after it happened.
553
00:27:48,066 --> 00:27:49,431
You wanted corroboration.
554
00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:53,130
You said you'd threaten
the father, you threatened the son.
555
00:27:53,238 --> 00:27:56,230
Alice Hutton finds out,
she'll have a hayride on cross.
556
00:27:56,307 --> 00:27:59,276
Was there any other choice?
Now we look like carnival hucksters.

You too can get a piece of the movie rights."

Nobody said
this was an easy case.
559
00:28:04,416 --> 00:28:07,112
Conspiracy without collusion?
But you've got to make a point.
560
00:28:07,185 --> 00:28:10,154
Which is?
You treat people like animal acts...
561
00:28:10,221 --> 00:28:11,848
one of them dies,
you go to jail.
562
00:28:11,923 --> 00:28:14,756
Well, I just hope
we don't look ridiculous.
563
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,891

So, Miss Hutton?

00:28:33,545 --> 00:28:35,843
Your Honor,
in view of the absurdity of these charges...
569
00:28:35,914 --> 00:28:37,609
my client would like
to make a statement.
570
00:28:37,682 --> 00:28:41,982
In my defense, Your Honor,
I point to my career in journalism...
571
00:28:42,053 --> 00:28:43,645
the respect
of my colleagues.
572
00:28:43,722 --> 00:28:45,815
Sir, I have no idea
who you are.
573
00:28:45,890 --> 00:28:50,190
Miss Hutton, I'm not going
to dismiss charges before they get to grand jury.
574
00:28:50,261 --> 00:28:52,525
Prompt your client
to enter a plea or enter it for him.
575
00:28:52,597 --> 00:28:54,224
Not guilty on both counts.
576
00:28:54,299 --> 00:28:55,596
Ms. Kincaid?
577
00:28:55,667 --> 00:28:58,636
We don't think bail
will affect Mr. Mason's appearance at trial.
578
00:28:58,703 --> 00:29:02,400
The People ask for $100,000.
We find that acceptable, Your Honor.
579
00:29:02,474 --> 00:29:05,910
Such reasonable people.
Who says no happy families?
580
00:29:06,211 --> 00:29:10,238
And Mr. Mason,
stay in character if you want, but please, stay in town.
581
00:29:10,315 --> 00:29:11,407
Next.
582
00:29:12,283 --> 00:29:14,513
Who are you?
I speak for the people.
583
00:29:14,586 --> 00:29:17,953
I gave the Fishers
their real day in court. You're a public servant.
584
00:29:18,022 --> 00:29:20,490
Your system gave a molester
18 months.
585
00:29:20,558 --> 00:29:22,389
You serve the public
better than I do?
586
00:29:22,460 --> 00:29:24,018
I didn't arrange
to have him killed.
587
00:29:24,095 --> 00:29:26,791
Neither did my client.
He had no motive.
588
00:29:27,232 --> 00:29:30,793
Your client saw
an opportunity, Alice. I'm an opportunist?
589
00:29:30,902 --> 00:29:33,996
Thirty-eight people were shot
in courtrooms last year.
590
00:29:34,072 --> 00:29:36,597
The show you're staging
is no different than mine.
591
00:29:36,674 --> 00:29:40,235
Mr. Mason, please focus.
This is not a show.
592
00:29:40,445 --> 00:29:43,505
You have a camera,
I have Attica. Take a rest.
593
00:29:43,581 --> 00:29:47,745
I didn't get my nap today
either. Geraldo had Nazis on the show...
594
00:29:47,819 --> 00:29:51,983
he started a brawl,
nobody indicted him. Nobody got shot on his show.
595
00:29:53,291 --> 00:29:56,124
Now, I'm willing to discuss
a plea at the lowest charge.
596
00:29:56,194 --> 00:29:58,185
Go ahead, pick that scab.
597
00:29:59,264 --> 00:30:02,358
I'll see you in court.
Don't be late, it's live.
598
00:30:05,403 --> 00:30:08,702
By the way,
that phone conversation the security guard overheard...
599
00:30:08,773 --> 00:30:10,172
Mr. Talbott?
600
00:30:10,241 --> 00:30:14,143
I was on the phone
with my client. You'll never get it admitted.
601
00:30:17,982 --> 00:30:19,074
(Hutton)
The call is privileged.
602
00:30:19,150 --> 00:30:20,981
Mr. Talbott worked
for my client. In essence...
603
00:30:21,052 --> 00:30:23,680
he was my client.
Oh, really? On what grounds?
604
00:30:23,755 --> 00:30:26,656
He was a necessary agent
to my client conducting his business.
605
00:30:26,724 --> 00:30:29,716
The necessary agent theory?
Fine for the law journals, Alice.
606
00:30:29,794 --> 00:30:31,352
We don't make law here,
we uphold it.
607
00:30:31,429 --> 00:30:33,124
My client didn't expect
to be overheard.
608
00:30:33,198 --> 00:30:35,393
McCormick on Evidence,
he thought the call was private...
609
00:30:35,466 --> 00:30:36,524
he didn't waive privilege.
610
00:30:36,601 --> 00:30:38,330
It was a public telephone.
611
00:30:38,403 --> 00:30:41,702
Attorney-client privilege
is one of those great zones of privacy, however--
612
00:30:41,773 --> 00:30:44,071
Your Honor, l--
Sit down, Alice.
613
00:30:44,375 --> 00:30:47,139
I don't see
how it applies here. And the jury has a choice.
614
00:30:47,212 --> 00:30:50,045
They don't have to
believe a word Mr. Talbott says.
615
00:30:50,114 --> 00:30:53,481
The testimony on the call
is admitted. Let's go to trial.
616
00:30:55,954 --> 00:30:59,117
Alice, that phone call,
Talbott isn't lying, is he?
617
00:30:59,190 --> 00:31:02,785
That conversation
was privileged. This isn't about privilege.
618
00:31:02,861 --> 00:31:05,728
Prove my actions
were improper, bring me up for disbarment.
619
00:31:05,797 --> 00:31:08,857
If I could prove it,
it would be accessory to manslaughter.
620
00:31:08,933 --> 00:31:11,299
Who appointed you
Saint Francis of Assisi?
621
00:31:11,369 --> 00:31:13,769
It must be thrilling
to occupy such high moral ground.
622
00:31:13,838 --> 00:31:15,032
You're an officer
of the court.
623
00:31:15,106 --> 00:31:18,507
It sounds like you were
discussing the possibility of murder with your client.
624
00:31:18,576 --> 00:31:20,942
Really? You want to try
proving any of that?
625
00:31:21,012 --> 00:31:22,138
You're desperate.
626
00:31:22,213 --> 00:31:25,239
Talk shows have been on
20 hours a week for the past 10 years.
627
00:31:25,316 --> 00:31:27,682
First time somebody gets shot,
you call it manslaughter?
628
00:31:27,752 --> 00:31:31,779
It's what a jury
calls it that counts. This prosecution's a hummer.
629
00:31:31,856 --> 00:31:33,949
I don't know
how you look at yourself in the mirror.
630
00:31:34,025 --> 00:31:36,220
I'm a Catholic,
I can feel guilty about anything.
631
00:31:36,294 --> 00:31:40,025
But I'll bet my conscience
is easier to live with than yours.
632
00:31:40,431 --> 00:31:42,092
[vehicles honking]
633
00:31:46,004 --> 00:31:48,598
Now, what will the defendant
tell you?
634
00:31:49,707 --> 00:31:52,267
That he covers the news.
635
00:31:54,012 --> 00:31:57,448
But in this case,
he didn't cover the news, he made it.
636
00:31:59,250 --> 00:32:01,775
Now, let's be clear
about the motive.
637
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,746
(Stone)
Nothing draws people to their television sets...
638
00:32:05,823 --> 00:32:08,451
nothing is more magnetic
than violence.
639
00:32:08,893 --> 00:32:11,191
And each year,
the stakes go up.
640
00:32:12,163 --> 00:32:14,927
You had a fistfight
on your show last year...
641
00:32:14,999 --> 00:32:18,059
now who's going to watch
if that happens again?
642
00:32:18,136 --> 00:32:20,764
The higher the stakes,
the higher the ratings.
643
00:32:20,838 --> 00:32:25,002
The higher the ratings,
the more money goes into Mr. Mason's pockets.
644
00:32:26,511 --> 00:32:29,503
And these stakes
are human lives.
645
00:32:31,382 --> 00:32:33,782
Not just the life
of Dr. Vinton...
646
00:32:33,952 --> 00:32:36,921
but the lives of
the entire Fisher family.
647
00:32:38,623 --> 00:32:43,560
Now, Mr. Mason
brought them together as you would gasoline and fire.
648
00:32:44,562 --> 00:32:46,860
And he waited
for the explosion.
649
00:32:48,399 --> 00:32:51,698
The People will prove
that the explosion came...
650
00:32:52,537 --> 00:32:55,700
because the defendant
deliberately lit the match.
651
00:32:58,743 --> 00:33:02,144
Mr. Stone has a strange notion
of human behavior.
652
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,844
The defendant, he believes,
is responsible for what other people do.
653
00:33:07,485 --> 00:33:09,953
He says, let's be clear
about motive.
654
00:33:10,021 --> 00:33:12,819
I suggest, let's be clear
about the facts.
655
00:33:13,358 --> 00:33:17,419
Here's what you'll learn from
the witnesses. The defendant didn't fire a gun.
656
00:33:17,495 --> 00:33:19,929
He didn't put a gun
in anyone's hand, he didn't coerce...
657
00:33:19,998 --> 00:33:22,296
anyone to appear
on his program.
658
00:33:23,434 --> 00:33:25,868
And I remind you
of one other fact.
659
00:33:26,437 --> 00:33:29,895
Long before the defendant
ever met the Fisher family...
660
00:33:30,174 --> 00:33:33,234
Scott Fisher's father
attacked Joseph Vinton.
661
00:33:34,545 --> 00:33:38,481
Did Richard Mason provoke
Mr. Fisher to fire a gun?
662
00:33:39,851 --> 00:33:43,150
Or was he provoked
in a courtroom...
663
00:33:43,921 --> 00:33:46,822
Iong before Richard Mason
ever heard of him?
664
00:33:49,494 --> 00:33:51,792
That phone call
scared the hell out of me.
665
00:33:51,863 --> 00:33:54,093
What specifically worried you?
666
00:33:54,298 --> 00:33:56,823
Mr. Mason always said
Fisher might show up.
667
00:33:56,901 --> 00:34:00,200
When he asked his lawyer
what kind of trouble he'll be in...
668
00:34:00,271 --> 00:34:02,136
I figure he knows for sure.
669
00:34:02,206 --> 00:34:05,369
Did you do anything
about your concerns? Well, I told him:
670
00:34:05,443 --> 00:34:08,537
"Let me hire an extra man."
He said, "Forget it.
671
00:34:08,613 --> 00:34:13,346
Fisher comes,
I'll let the guy talk." I said, "The guy's nuts...
672
00:34:13,651 --> 00:34:17,178
anything can happen."
And what did Mr. Mason say to that?
673
00:34:17,655 --> 00:34:20,681
He said, "We're doing a show.
Things are supposed to happen."
674
00:34:20,758 --> 00:34:22,726
Thank you. Your witness.
675
00:34:24,328 --> 00:34:26,728
So, Mr. Talbott, you thought
there'd be trouble?
676
00:34:26,798 --> 00:34:28,265
Did you call the police?
677
00:34:28,332 --> 00:34:31,995
I followed Mr. Mason's orders.
Did you follow orders as a cop?
678
00:34:32,070 --> 00:34:34,630
Why did you leave
the Police Department? Objection.
679
00:34:34,705 --> 00:34:36,764
Is it true
you resigned because--
680
00:34:36,841 --> 00:34:39,275
Miss Hutton.
Counsel will approach.
681
00:34:43,414 --> 00:34:45,541
When he objects,
you wait for my ruling.
682
00:34:45,616 --> 00:34:49,177
Now, Mr. Talbott wasn't
convicted of a crime, get near that again, you'll regret it.
683
00:34:49,253 --> 00:34:51,016
Objection sustained.
684
00:34:53,791 --> 00:34:57,955
Mr. Talbott, this call you say
you overheard.
685
00:34:58,429 --> 00:35:00,488
Did you mention it
in your statement to the police?
686
00:35:00,565 --> 00:35:02,032
No, I didn't.
687
00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:04,625
Well, you lied then,
or you're lying now.
688
00:35:04,702 --> 00:35:07,296
Is it true you no longer work
for Richard Mason...
689
00:35:07,371 --> 00:35:10,898
that you were fired
the day after the shooting of Joseph Vinton?
690
00:35:10,975 --> 00:35:13,341
Yeah, I was fired.
Well, you lied to the police.
691
00:35:13,411 --> 00:35:17,108
I wonder, are you angry enough
at Richard Mason to lie now?
692
00:35:19,217 --> 00:35:23,711
I didn't want my son on TV.
What did you tell Mr. Mason?
693
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:30,925
I said, "You put Scotty on,
I'm gonna be there. It'll be trouble."
694
00:35:31,996 --> 00:35:36,490
Mason says, "It's news
to America. You don't like the news, make your own."
695
00:35:36,868 --> 00:35:40,099
And what did that mean to you?
Objection. Asks for conclusion.
696
00:35:40,171 --> 00:35:42,401
No, I'll allow it. Mr. Fisher?
697
00:35:43,474 --> 00:35:45,101
It meant lump it.
698
00:35:45,209 --> 00:35:49,043
He wanted me to come
and attack Vinton. Thank you. Your witness.
699
00:35:50,715 --> 00:35:54,242
So, you testified your son
told you where to go that day.
700
00:35:54,318 --> 00:35:58,982
Can you tell the court
why wasn't Scott charged as an accessory in this crime?
701
00:36:00,925 --> 00:36:01,914
I don't know.
702
00:36:01,993 --> 00:36:05,019
Is that so? You said you
made a deal with Mr. Stone.
703
00:36:05,096 --> 00:36:08,259
You'd implicate Mr. Mason
in exchange for a reduced sentence.
704
00:36:08,332 --> 00:36:10,664
Was your son a part
of that deal?
705
00:36:13,337 --> 00:36:16,636
They threatened
to indict Scotty. "They," Mr. Fisher?
706
00:36:16,741 --> 00:36:19,073
Mr. Stone,
the District Attorney.
707
00:36:20,278 --> 00:36:22,371
He said he'd indict my son.
708
00:36:23,314 --> 00:36:27,307
Compelling incentive.
If my son were threatened, I'd say anything.
709
00:36:27,618 --> 00:36:29,085
No further questions.
710
00:36:29,153 --> 00:36:31,951
Mason did it!
He made Scotty call me.
711
00:36:32,123 --> 00:36:34,819
He's a parasite! He's filth!
Mr. Fisher!
712
00:36:35,927 --> 00:36:39,158
The jury will ignore
the witness's remark. Strike it from the record.
713
00:36:39,230 --> 00:36:42,757
Redirect, Your Honor?
If the witness can control himself.
714
00:36:43,234 --> 00:36:47,364
Mr. Fisher, did you ever offer
to lie in your testimony?
715
00:36:49,507 --> 00:36:52,408
I wanted to say
Mason told me where to go.
716
00:36:54,378 --> 00:36:57,541
I wanted to say Scotty
had nothing to do with it.
717
00:36:58,182 --> 00:37:00,047
And how did I respond?
718
00:37:00,751 --> 00:37:05,450
You said that was perjury.
You said you couldn't let me do that.
719
00:37:06,591 --> 00:37:08,889
Thank you.
No further questions.
720
00:37:11,395 --> 00:37:14,489
It was at the hotel.
I was in my room.
721
00:37:14,565 --> 00:37:16,430
And what did Mr. Mason
tell you?
722
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:20,994
He said where the show
was gonna be...
723
00:37:21,372 --> 00:37:22,862
might be painful.
724
00:37:22,940 --> 00:37:27,434
And what did you say to that?
I told him I was scared...
725
00:37:27,511 --> 00:37:29,604
about seeing Dr. Vinton.
726
00:37:30,314 --> 00:37:33,374
I didn't want to know
where it was.
727
00:37:34,518 --> 00:37:38,352
He said he had to tell me.
The Waverly, where Dr. Vinton...
728
00:37:38,422 --> 00:37:40,617
took me after the sessions.
729
00:37:40,925 --> 00:37:44,884
Did Mr. Mason explain to you
why he had to tell you where it was?
730
00:37:46,163 --> 00:37:48,495
He said my dad
ought to be there.
731
00:37:49,567 --> 00:37:53,936
He couldn't tell Dad
where the show was going to be, but I could.
732
00:37:56,007 --> 00:38:00,273
He took me to
a pay phone downstairs and I called my dad.
733
00:38:00,411 --> 00:38:03,039
Thanks, Scott. Your witness.
734
00:38:05,082 --> 00:38:09,883
I know this is difficult
for you, Scott. All we want you to do is tell the truth.
735
00:38:09,954 --> 00:38:14,015
Now, you met with Dr. Vinton
for how long? About three years.
736
00:38:14,091 --> 00:38:17,060
And did your mother ever
ask you about your sessions with the doctor?
737
00:38:17,128 --> 00:38:19,392
Objection. Relevance?
Goes to credibility.
738
00:38:19,463 --> 00:38:21,988
I'll allow it, but make
the connection quickly.
739
00:38:22,066 --> 00:38:25,968
Go on, Scott.
Sure, my mom asked me.
740
00:38:26,170 --> 00:38:30,129
And in three years
you never told her what Dr. Vinton did to you?
741
00:38:31,942 --> 00:38:35,343
No, she wanted me to go.
You wanted to please your mother...
742
00:38:35,413 --> 00:38:37,608
so you didn't tell the truth.
743
00:38:38,149 --> 00:38:40,709
You want to make it
sound like I'm lying.
744
00:38:40,785 --> 00:38:44,778
I'm not. Mr. Mason told me
to call my dad.
745
00:38:44,855 --> 00:38:47,289
I didn't know
what he was gonna do.
746
00:38:47,591 --> 00:38:49,889
Scott, didn't Mr. Stone
prepare you for today?
747
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,951
Didn't he tell you exactly
what to say?
748
00:38:52,029 --> 00:38:55,521
He told me just like you,
to tell the truth.
749
00:38:58,469 --> 00:38:59,993
No further questions.
750
00:39:01,005 --> 00:39:03,200
She couldn't break him, Adam.
751
00:39:03,607 --> 00:39:07,566
Ben, who said all cases
are made by prepping the witnesses?
752
00:39:07,678 --> 00:39:10,476
You did, I think.
About 400 times. Oh, yeah.
753
00:39:10,548 --> 00:39:13,608
Ben, Mr. Mason
just held a press conference.
754
00:39:13,684 --> 00:39:15,242
He fully expects
to be acquitted.
755
00:39:15,319 --> 00:39:18,413
He's suing for false arrest
and malicious prosecution.
756
00:39:18,489 --> 00:39:20,184
$5 million in damages.
757
00:39:20,257 --> 00:39:22,020
Well, the last guy
that tried that with me...
758
00:39:22,093 --> 00:39:23,355
is still doing
three-to-nine.
759
00:39:23,427 --> 00:39:25,918
I wouldn't eat that canary
just yet.
760
00:39:26,163 --> 00:39:30,190
It's a long trip
from your witnesses to motive and conviction.
761
00:39:30,301 --> 00:39:32,166
I'm pretty sure
Mr. Mason will get us there.
762
00:39:32,236 --> 00:39:35,000
Well, but he might be
a better performer than you.
763
00:39:35,072 --> 00:39:36,903
Certainly had
as much practice.
764
00:39:36,974 --> 00:39:39,204
Well, then l
can learn something.
765
00:39:43,214 --> 00:39:45,842
Why did you visit Scott
at the hotel that night?
766
00:39:45,916 --> 00:39:50,182
I spend time with all
my subjects. Especially a vulnerable 15-year-old.
767
00:39:50,254 --> 00:39:54,156
What did you tell Scott?
I reminded him how hard it would be.
768
00:39:55,393 --> 00:39:58,385
Frankly,
I wanted to assure myself that he wouldn't be damaged...
769
00:39:58,462 --> 00:40:01,625
and if I wasn't convinced,
I would have canceled the show.
770
00:40:01,699 --> 00:40:05,760
Did you tell him where
the show would be and ask him to call his father?
771
00:40:05,836 --> 00:40:08,396
Absolutely not.
I spoke to Mr. Fisher.
772
00:40:08,472 --> 00:40:10,736
Anyone could see the man
was dangerous.
773
00:40:10,808 --> 00:40:14,175
Did you instruct Barry Talbott
to curtail his vigilance in any way?
774
00:40:14,245 --> 00:40:15,644
The opposite.
775
00:40:15,713 --> 00:40:19,877
I was concerned
that Mr. Fisher might find out the location of the show.
776
00:40:19,950 --> 00:40:22,851
I told Mr. Talbott
to stop him at all costs.
777
00:40:23,921 --> 00:40:28,756
Mr. Mason, do you
consider yourself to have high professional standards?
778
00:40:28,993 --> 00:40:30,324
Yes, I do.
779
00:40:30,528 --> 00:40:34,089
There are some things
I will not do in pursuit of a story.
780
00:40:34,465 --> 00:40:39,198
I've never used a hidden
camera. I don't surprise subjects in parking lots.
781
00:40:40,070 --> 00:40:42,402
And I don't pay
convicted felons.
782
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:47,436
I might add that some of
my colleagues at the networks are not so particular.
783
00:40:47,878 --> 00:40:49,846
Thank you. Your witness.
784
00:40:51,816 --> 00:40:55,183
So, you have high professional
standards, sir, yet...
785
00:40:55,686 --> 00:40:59,122
you put the Fisher family
on your show, you knew that Mr. Fisher was dangerous.
786
00:40:59,190 --> 00:41:00,623
Is that a high standard?
787
00:41:00,691 --> 00:41:03,854
I took every precaution.
Didn't you provoke Mr. Fisher?
788
00:41:03,928 --> 00:41:06,920
Didn't you refuse
to hire additional security?
789
00:41:07,131 --> 00:41:10,066
Didn't you manipulate
Scott Fisher? None of that is true.
790
00:41:10,134 --> 00:41:13,194
What about guests on your
previous shows? Didn't you arrange to have--
791
00:41:13,270 --> 00:41:15,363
Objection. May we approach?
792
00:41:19,410 --> 00:41:22,675
Mr. Mason's past programs
are irrelevant. It goes to motive, Your Honor.
793
00:41:22,746 --> 00:41:25,306
And they're inadmissible.
Put it in your pocket, Ben.
794
00:41:25,382 --> 00:41:28,146
I didn't let her do it
to your witness, you don't do it to hers.
795
00:41:28,219 --> 00:41:29,982
Objection sustained.
796
00:41:37,761 --> 00:41:39,092
Mr. Stone?
797
00:41:41,098 --> 00:41:44,397
Are you telling this court,
sir, that you feel no responsibility...
798
00:41:44,468 --> 00:41:45,765
for the death of Dr. Vinton?
799
00:41:45,836 --> 00:41:50,273
It was a tragedy,
but I would never knowingly put anyone's life in danger.
800
00:41:52,743 --> 00:41:55,177
Judge, you can't allow this.
You want to go in the back door?
801
00:41:55,246 --> 00:41:56,611
Your client opened the door.
802
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,672
Hello there,
send the arguments toward my door.
803
00:42:01,619 --> 00:42:05,055
Mr. Stone tried to sneak in
character testimony before.
804
00:42:05,122 --> 00:42:08,182
He wanted to tarnish my client
but you said no.
805
00:42:08,459 --> 00:42:12,088
Mr. Mason's past programs
haven't suddenly become relevant.
806
00:42:12,263 --> 00:42:14,197
But they have,
Alice. Mason lied.
807
00:42:14,265 --> 00:42:16,790
He said he never
put anyone in danger. He did.
808
00:42:17,134 --> 00:42:21,969
He said "knowingly."
He would never knowingly put anyone in danger.
809
00:42:22,406 --> 00:42:23,737
Ben, you have rebuttal
on this?
810
00:42:23,807 --> 00:42:24,796
(Stone)
I do, Your Honor.
811
00:42:24,909 --> 00:42:27,377
A witness who was there
and she'll testify.
812
00:42:27,444 --> 00:42:29,435
It's grossly prejudicial.
813
00:42:30,047 --> 00:42:34,313
People v. Zackowitz,
Benjamin Cardozo on the New York Court of Appeals.
814
00:42:34,385 --> 00:42:35,818
What about Wigmore?
815
00:42:35,886 --> 00:42:39,014
Character is never an issue
unless the defendant chooses to make it one...
816
00:42:39,089 --> 00:42:42,752
which is what your client did.
It's too bad, he should have kept his mouth shut.
817
00:42:42,826 --> 00:42:43,884
I'm going to allow this...
818
00:42:43,961 --> 00:42:46,759
but you better hope
your witness knows what she's talking about.
819
00:42:50,334 --> 00:42:52,234
We wanted the juror
from the Pulisi trial...
820
00:42:52,303 --> 00:42:55,534
to talk about
organized crime.
821
00:42:56,106 --> 00:42:58,802
We picked juror number six,
James Davis.
822
00:42:59,009 --> 00:43:02,467
And why did you want
that particular juror on your show?
823
00:43:03,047 --> 00:43:06,039
He was the one who pushed
the jury to convict.
824
00:43:06,283 --> 00:43:09,275
He said
he would talk about it, but he was afraid.
825
00:43:09,353 --> 00:43:13,380
Mr. Mason assured him
that we'd alter his voice, silhouette his face.
826
00:43:13,457 --> 00:43:15,982
(Stone)
And did Mr. Mason do that?
827
00:43:16,060 --> 00:43:17,527
Sure, he did.
828
00:43:18,429 --> 00:43:21,057
Then he invited
Nick Pulisi's son on the show.
829
00:43:21,131 --> 00:43:24,032
Mr. Davis didn't know
until halfway through.
830
00:43:25,035 --> 00:43:27,435
He disappeared
from a parking lot.
831
00:43:31,809 --> 00:43:33,606
They never found him.
832
00:43:37,081 --> 00:43:40,312
Were you involved in the show
that featured...
833
00:43:40,517 --> 00:43:43,179
prostitutes in Times Square?
834
00:43:43,420 --> 00:43:45,445
I helped find those girls.
835
00:43:46,056 --> 00:43:50,993
The day of the show one
of them, her name was Cheryl, she was a little tired.
836
00:43:51,762 --> 00:43:53,229
Mr. Mason was upset.
837
00:43:53,297 --> 00:43:56,824
The first time we talked
to her, she was all lit up, she was funny.
838
00:43:56,900 --> 00:43:59,528
Lit up, you mean
that she was on drugs?
839
00:44:00,070 --> 00:44:01,799
She was on cocaine.
840
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,305
(Stone)
And what did Mr. Mason do to help her be funny?
841
00:44:06,377 --> 00:44:09,540
He gave her $300, told her
to take a little walk.
842
00:44:10,014 --> 00:44:11,538
Did she come back?
843
00:44:11,615 --> 00:44:12,707
Yeah.
844
00:44:13,617 --> 00:44:14,948
She was her old self.
845
00:44:15,019 --> 00:44:17,351
She was buzzed.
846
00:44:19,023 --> 00:44:22,015
We were just off the air
when she keeled over.
847
00:44:22,159 --> 00:44:24,423
Later, we found out
she bought some bad stuff.
848
00:44:24,495 --> 00:44:26,929
She barely made it
to the hospital.
849
00:44:28,165 --> 00:44:30,395
Miss Corrio,
one last question.
850
00:44:31,168 --> 00:44:34,535
How did Mr. Mason
react to that news?
851
00:44:35,839 --> 00:44:37,830
He said, "What a waste...
852
00:44:38,108 --> 00:44:40,542
too bad she didn't OD
on the show."
853
00:44:40,644 --> 00:44:44,774
He said,
"What we really needed was for somebody to die on the air."
854
00:44:49,653 --> 00:44:52,850
On the first count
of the indictment manslaughter in the first degree...
855
00:44:52,923 --> 00:44:54,618
how does the jury find?
856
00:44:54,692 --> 00:44:57,024
We find the defendant
not guilty.
857
00:44:57,494 --> 00:44:59,291
(Steinman)
On the second count of the indictment,
858
00:44:59,363 --> 00:45:01,058
the charge
of criminal facilitation...
859
00:45:01,131 --> 00:45:03,929
in the first degree,
how does the jury find?
860
00:45:04,001 --> 00:45:06,196
We find the defendant guilty.
861
00:45:11,909 --> 00:45:14,036
Move to continue bail
until sentencing.
862
00:45:14,111 --> 00:45:15,635
Motion granted.
863
00:45:17,081 --> 00:45:18,810
[people chattering]
864
00:45:20,851 --> 00:45:23,376
(Mason)
I'm disappointed, but not only for myself.
865
00:45:23,454 --> 00:45:26,082
It's a sad day
for the First Amendment.
866
00:45:28,125 --> 00:45:30,491
He'll do 18 months,
better than nothing.
867
00:45:30,561 --> 00:45:32,756
Eighteen months
is what Vinton got, right?
868
00:45:32,830 --> 00:45:34,855
Mason
could write his own book in that time.
869
00:45:34,932 --> 00:45:37,867
Oh, he's off the air.
Oh, I don't know about that.
870
00:45:37,935 --> 00:45:40,995
Five hundred cable channels
coming? He could start the Prison Channel.
871
00:45:41,071 --> 00:45:42,402
[snickers]
872
00:45:42,473 --> 00:45:44,134
[woman chattering]
873
00:45:44,184 --> 00:45:48,734
