1
00:00:06,273 --> 00:00:07,968
NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:08,041 --> 00:00:11,909
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:11,979 --> 00:00:13,811
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:13,881 --> 00:00:16,680
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:16,750 --> 00:00:18,184
These are their stories.
6
00:00:19,586 --> 00:00:21,520
MAN: Most people
aren't allowed in.
7
00:00:22,256 --> 00:00:23,985
But we're special, right?
8
00:00:26,326 --> 00:00:29,318
Used to bring your father
here when he was your age.
9
00:00:29,997 --> 00:00:32,056
Oh, look. A hawk!
See it?
10
00:00:32,466 --> 00:00:34,195
Grandpa?
Up in the tree.
11
00:00:34,701 --> 00:00:36,100
Grandpa?
12
00:00:44,311 --> 00:00:45,972
ED: Never been
in here before.
13
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:47,741
It's the last private
park in Manhattan.
14
00:00:47,814 --> 00:00:50,374
FONTANA: Yeah, you know, you'd think
it'd really be something, wouldn't you?
15
00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:52,441
Just looks like another park to me.
What's the big deal?
16
00:00:52,519 --> 00:00:54,419
You tell a New Yorker
they can't go somewhere,
17
00:00:54,488 --> 00:00:55,614
they won't rest
till they do.
18
00:00:55,689 --> 00:00:56,815
Hey, what you got, man?
19
00:00:56,890 --> 00:00:58,858
Female, white.
Maybe late 40s.
20
00:00:58,926 --> 00:01:00,826
No ID, no purse,
no wallet.
21
00:01:00,894 --> 00:01:02,055
What, is it a robbery?
22
00:01:02,129 --> 00:01:03,221
It could be.
23
00:01:03,297 --> 00:01:06,028
But she's got diamond earrings
on worth more than my car.
24
00:01:06,099 --> 00:01:07,624
And that's a Prada
coat she's wearing.
25
00:01:07,701 --> 00:01:08,896
How long?
26
00:01:08,969 --> 00:01:11,370
Rigor, lividity, never hit
freezing last night...
27
00:01:11,438 --> 00:01:12,803
Let's say 10 hours.
28
00:01:12,873 --> 00:01:14,739
Petechial hemorrhaging,
bruising on the neck.
29
00:01:15,208 --> 00:01:17,074
FONTANA: Swollen lip
and a nice shiner.
30
00:01:17,711 --> 00:01:19,304
ED: She's got a
bloodstain on her dress.
31
00:01:19,379 --> 00:01:21,814
Oh, it could be blood. I
don't see any lacerations.
32
00:01:21,882 --> 00:01:24,408
Hey, Sarge, are those your
footprints facing the body?
33
00:01:24,484 --> 00:01:25,610
Uh, no, they're not.
34
00:01:25,686 --> 00:01:26,676
Can we get
a mold on those?
35
00:01:26,753 --> 00:01:28,721
And those over there, too?
Got it.
36
00:01:28,956 --> 00:01:30,355
(CHATTERING)
37
00:01:31,191 --> 00:01:34,684
Well... Maybe it's
nicer in the spring.
38
00:02:26,513 --> 00:02:27,981
I don't recognize her.
39
00:02:28,382 --> 00:02:29,850
But I knew it was
only a matter of time
40
00:02:29,916 --> 00:02:31,441
before something
horrible happened.
41
00:02:31,518 --> 00:02:33,509
They leave the gate open.
Who's "They"?
42
00:02:33,587 --> 00:02:36,955
Well, the Falls Foundation.
Their benefit dinners?
43
00:02:37,324 --> 00:02:39,554
The Director lets the
guests into the park.
44
00:02:39,626 --> 00:02:41,492
It was like Grand
Central last night.
45
00:02:41,795 --> 00:02:43,263
How many key-holders
are there?
46
00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:45,628
Oh, well, not many.
That's the point.
47
00:02:45,932 --> 00:02:47,400
A few hundred.
48
00:02:47,467 --> 00:02:49,265
Oh, you have to live
adjacent to the park
49
00:02:49,336 --> 00:02:52,169
and pay a maintenance
fee that isn't cheap.
50
00:02:52,372 --> 00:02:54,204
What time did you see
all these people?
51
00:02:54,274 --> 00:02:57,073
Well, we take a walk around
the perimeter of the park
52
00:02:57,144 --> 00:03:00,910
from 9:00 to 9:20.
Or Sammi gets upset.
53
00:03:01,415 --> 00:03:03,679
How did you know the people
were from the Foundation?
54
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:05,240
Well, the Director
of the Falls Foundation
55
00:03:05,318 --> 00:03:07,446
was right over there,
leading the parade.
56
00:03:11,892 --> 00:03:14,190
Oh, my God. This is
a friend of ours.
57
00:03:14,261 --> 00:03:15,524
Lisa Taylor.
58
00:03:15,862 --> 00:03:17,557
One of our
favorite volunteers.
59
00:03:17,631 --> 00:03:19,429
Uh, and she was at your
benefit last night?
60
00:03:19,766 --> 00:03:22,736
She was the benefit.
Helped plan it,
61
00:03:23,103 --> 00:03:25,299
sold two of our most
expensive tables.
62
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:27,669
"A brighter future
for kids in need."
63
00:03:27,741 --> 00:03:30,005
That's what we do at
the Falls Foundation.
64
00:03:30,077 --> 00:03:31,772
We raise money
for children in need.
65
00:03:31,845 --> 00:03:35,179
Last night's benefit was for
children affected by the tsunami.
66
00:03:35,248 --> 00:03:36,579
So many orphans.
67
00:03:37,150 --> 00:03:39,482
That's a great cause.
How'd you guys do?
68
00:03:39,786 --> 00:03:42,016
We raised several hundred
thousand dollars.
69
00:03:42,355 --> 00:03:44,824
Listen, we're gonna need a list of
everybody that was here last night.
70
00:03:44,891 --> 00:03:45,915
Yeah, and if you
could tell us
71
00:03:45,992 --> 00:03:47,460
which of your guests
were in the park.
72
00:03:47,994 --> 00:03:50,224
I wouldn't know that.
I was inside all night.
73
00:03:50,797 --> 00:03:53,994
We have a witness
who saw you in the park.
74
00:03:54,668 --> 00:03:56,636
They're mistaken.
It wasn't me.
75
00:03:56,703 --> 00:03:58,330
(DOOR OPENING) ED: She
seemed pretty sure.
76
00:03:58,405 --> 00:04:02,035
Ah, Detectives, my brother
Max, the Foundation Chairman.
77
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:06,940
Uh, how you doing, man?
78
00:04:07,013 --> 00:04:08,139
Um, were you in
the park last night?
79
00:04:08,715 --> 00:04:12,276
I was. Uh, in fact, I
was with a few guests.
80
00:04:12,452 --> 00:04:13,510
Everything all right?
81
00:04:13,587 --> 00:04:16,249
The woman they found murdered?
It was Lisa.
82
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:18,319
Our Lisa?
Yeah.
83
00:04:19,059 --> 00:04:20,254
Oh, my God.
84
00:04:21,862 --> 00:04:23,455
Her poor husband.
85
00:04:25,198 --> 00:04:28,031
Police? (CHUCKLES) Wow.
What am I, in trouble?
86
00:04:28,735 --> 00:04:30,760
Aw, jeez,
it's almost noon.
87
00:04:31,838 --> 00:04:35,638
Uh, sir, can you just walk us
through where you were last night?
88
00:04:35,876 --> 00:04:37,810
(LAUGHS) Why, what's up?
What's going on?
89
00:04:37,878 --> 00:04:40,210
Please, Mr. Taylor. If you could
just tell us where you were.
90
00:04:41,181 --> 00:04:42,706
I'm the chef at
the Chelsea Steakhouse.
91
00:04:42,783 --> 00:04:43,978
Iwent in
about noon.
92
00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:45,040
ED: What time
did you get home?
93
00:04:45,118 --> 00:04:46,847
3:00 in the morning.
94
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,684
And when was the last
you spoke to your wife?
95
00:04:50,157 --> 00:04:51,750
Lisa? What does she
have to do with this?
96
00:04:51,825 --> 00:04:53,793
Did you see her
when you got in?
97
00:04:54,561 --> 00:04:55,551
Well, I didn't
wanna wake her.
98
00:04:55,629 --> 00:04:56,960
She gets up
early for work.
99
00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:58,054
I just hung out
on the couch,
100
00:04:58,131 --> 00:05:01,260
I watched a little TV, I sacked
out and slept right through...
101
00:05:04,538 --> 00:05:05,801
What's going on?
102
00:05:06,239 --> 00:05:07,729
Maybe... Maybe
you should sit down.
103
00:05:07,808 --> 00:05:09,207
Screw that.
Just tell me.
104
00:05:12,012 --> 00:05:14,982
We found your wife's
body this morning.
105
00:05:16,116 --> 00:05:17,174
Murdered.
106
00:05:22,689 --> 00:05:24,680
The sous chef confirms
that Taylor was working
107
00:05:24,758 --> 00:05:25,748
in that restaurant
all night long.
108
00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:28,090
What else? Crime Scene's
working on some footprints,
109
00:05:28,161 --> 00:05:29,651
and we're waiting to see
if there's any activity
110
00:05:29,729 --> 00:05:30,992
on her missing
credit cards.
111
00:05:31,064 --> 00:05:34,227
And we're still trying to get a
hold of Cynthia and Bud Walden.
112
00:05:34,301 --> 00:05:36,770
Taylor said that they were
supposed to share a taxi home
113
00:05:36,837 --> 00:05:38,498
with his wife
after that benefit.
114
00:05:38,572 --> 00:05:41,166
What about the blood stain
on Mrs. Taylor's dress?
115
00:05:41,241 --> 00:05:42,731
We have to check
with the M.E.
116
00:05:42,809 --> 00:05:43,867
All right.
117
00:05:44,644 --> 00:05:46,738
Cause of death,
strangulation.
118
00:05:46,813 --> 00:05:49,214
Lots of bruising,
no lacerations.
119
00:05:50,183 --> 00:05:53,813
As for the stain, it is blood,
and it's not the victim's.
120
00:05:53,887 --> 00:05:55,048
Well, could it be
her assailant's?
121
00:05:55,121 --> 00:05:56,179
I doubt it.
122
00:05:56,590 --> 00:05:58,752
It's from a
psoas majoris bovinis.
123
00:05:58,825 --> 00:05:59,951
What?
124
00:06:00,427 --> 00:06:01,895
(SIGHS)
It's filet mignon.
125
00:06:02,162 --> 00:06:04,028
With maybe a dash
of mushroom Bordelaise.
126
00:06:04,097 --> 00:06:05,963
She was wearing her dinner.
Great.
127
00:06:06,032 --> 00:06:09,161
Yeah. As to whether she
fought off her attacker...
128
00:06:09,436 --> 00:06:10,733
Skin and blood
under her nails.
129
00:06:10,804 --> 00:06:12,431
Now, would that
be human skin?
130
00:06:12,505 --> 00:06:14,132
100%,
and it's not hers.
131
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:16,335
Soon as the lab gets
DNA, I'll call you.
132
00:06:18,778 --> 00:06:21,338
You know, you could have told
us that in the first place.
133
00:06:21,915 --> 00:06:23,178
It's not as much fun.
134
00:06:28,521 --> 00:06:31,115
Lisa was such an asset
to the Foundation.
135
00:06:31,191 --> 00:06:33,853
Uh, Head of Programming
at Cuisine TV,
136
00:06:33,927 --> 00:06:35,395
so she knew about food.
137
00:06:35,462 --> 00:06:38,295
Well, no disrespect, but she
didn't know the difference
138
00:06:38,365 --> 00:06:40,333
between prosciutto and pastram i.
Bud!
139
00:06:40,667 --> 00:06:43,967
Well, listen, she was a sharp
businesswoman, I'll give her that.
140
00:06:44,037 --> 00:06:45,869
She knew her way
around a balance sheet.
141
00:06:45,939 --> 00:06:47,703
Her husband said that
you guys were planning
142
00:06:47,774 --> 00:06:49,469
to share a taxi ride
home together?
143
00:06:49,542 --> 00:06:51,840
Yes, we did,
but she left early.
144
00:06:51,912 --> 00:06:52,902
FONTANA: How come?
145
00:06:52,979 --> 00:06:54,845
Well, she got in an
argument with Max Finneran,
146
00:06:54,915 --> 00:06:56,349
our Chairman of the Board.
147
00:06:56,416 --> 00:06:57,577
They really were into it.
148
00:06:57,651 --> 00:06:59,141
What did they
fight about?
149
00:06:59,786 --> 00:07:01,880
Oh, the Foundation
Board of Directors.
150
00:07:01,955 --> 00:07:04,720
See,Budis the largest
contributor to the Foundation.
151
00:07:04,791 --> 00:07:06,190
Uh, one of the largest.
152
00:07:06,259 --> 00:07:08,125
Um, naturally,
he's on the Board.
153
00:07:08,561 --> 00:07:10,393
Uh, Lisa wanted
to be, too,
154
00:07:10,463 --> 00:07:12,659
but Max wouldn't
approve her.
155
00:07:12,732 --> 00:07:14,427
Uh, felt
she was disruptive.
156
00:07:14,734 --> 00:07:16,600
And you both
overheard this argument?
157
00:07:16,770 --> 00:07:17,896
I caught
the tail end of it.
158
00:07:18,004 --> 00:07:19,597
I was
in the bathroom.
159
00:07:19,873 --> 00:07:21,602
But if you want
more details,
160
00:07:21,675 --> 00:07:24,542
you can talk to Eugene Syles.
The architect?
161
00:07:24,611 --> 00:07:26,340
He was sitting
at her table.
162
00:07:27,781 --> 00:07:29,078
The argument had
nothing to do
163
00:07:29,149 --> 00:07:30,878
with Lisa wanting to be
on their precious Board.
164
00:07:30,951 --> 00:07:32,248
Then what was it about?
165
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:34,083
Lisa saw
an expense report,
166
00:07:34,154 --> 00:07:37,021
and got it into her head the
brothers were padding expenses.
167
00:07:37,090 --> 00:07:38,558
She confronted them?
168
00:07:38,625 --> 00:07:41,424
She confronted Max when he
came to our table to schmooze.
169
00:07:41,995 --> 00:07:44,054
Called him a thief.
He called her a liar.
170
00:07:44,564 --> 00:07:45,656
How did it end?
171
00:07:45,732 --> 00:07:47,222
Well, she said she
knew what was going on
172
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:49,132
and she wasn't just
gonna turn a blind eye,
173
00:07:49,202 --> 00:07:50,431
and then she stomped out.
174
00:07:50,503 --> 00:07:51,629
And what did he do?
175
00:07:51,705 --> 00:07:53,139
He went to
find his brother.
176
00:07:53,673 --> 00:07:55,903
Here we are, trying to
help tsunami victims.
177
00:07:55,976 --> 00:07:59,435
Orphans, for God's sake, and
they're at each other's throats.
178
00:08:01,514 --> 00:08:02,709
You know, it wouldn't
surprise me if the twins
179
00:08:02,782 --> 00:08:04,045
were trying to cash in
on the tsunami.
180
00:08:04,117 --> 00:08:05,312
Oh, me, neither.
181
00:08:05,418 --> 00:08:07,216
But, you know, before
we talk to the twins,
182
00:08:07,287 --> 00:08:09,016
it might be a good idea
to know if there was
183
00:08:09,089 --> 00:08:11,786
any evidence that their fingers
were in the cookie jar.
184
00:08:11,858 --> 00:08:14,384
Well, the Attorney General
has got a charity fraud unit.
185
00:08:14,461 --> 00:08:16,793
Let's see what they know
about the Falls Foundation.
186
00:08:16,963 --> 00:08:18,192
Works for me.
187
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:24,494
Twenty thousand
non-profits report to us,
188
00:08:24,571 --> 00:08:25,697
and we have
a grand total
189
00:08:25,772 --> 00:08:27,638
of seven accountants
to review the paperwork.
190
00:08:27,707 --> 00:08:29,004
On paper, mind you.
191
00:08:29,075 --> 00:08:30,065
No computers?
192
00:08:30,143 --> 00:08:31,167
Can you believe it?
193
00:08:31,244 --> 00:08:32,541
Most charities
don't get audited
194
00:08:32,612 --> 00:08:33,943
unless someone on the
inside blows the whistle.
195
00:08:34,014 --> 00:08:35,914
And what happens then?
What do you guys look for?
196
00:08:35,982 --> 00:08:38,110
At least 60%
of the money donated
197
00:08:38,184 --> 00:08:40,278
should get to the people
it was meant to help.
198
00:08:40,353 --> 00:08:42,549
Otherwise, that
charity is ineffective.
199
00:08:43,289 --> 00:08:44,415
Maybe worse.
200
00:08:44,491 --> 00:08:47,461
Speaking of which,
Falls Foundation
201
00:08:47,827 --> 00:08:50,159
took in 4.6 million
last year.
202
00:08:50,764 --> 00:08:51,993
Gave away 30 grand.
203
00:08:52,065 --> 00:08:54,534
What? That's
far less than 60%.
204
00:08:54,601 --> 00:08:56,626
Yeah, what the hell happened
to the rest of the money?
205
00:08:56,703 --> 00:08:58,933
We won't know until
we audit their books,
206
00:08:59,005 --> 00:09:00,803
and that'll take us some
time to put into motion.
207
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:02,535
This is a homicide
investigation.
208
00:09:03,143 --> 00:09:04,406
I don't follow.
209
00:09:04,477 --> 00:09:06,036
We'll get you
those books.
210
00:09:08,982 --> 00:09:10,347
What the hell is this?
211
00:09:10,417 --> 00:09:11,646
You gotta be
kidding me.
212
00:09:14,421 --> 00:09:16,253
Marshal!
What's the story?
213
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:19,356
Uh, fire's point of origin was the
office of the Falls Foundation.
214
00:09:19,426 --> 00:09:21,190
Course it was. So their
records and paperwork...
215
00:09:21,261 --> 00:09:23,320
No, most of it's okay.
We got here in time.
216
00:09:23,396 --> 00:09:25,262
I'm sure they'll be glad
to hear about that.
217
00:09:25,331 --> 00:09:26,355
Any idea
what caused it?
218
00:09:26,433 --> 00:09:27,696
From the smell
when we got here,
219
00:09:27,767 --> 00:09:30,236
I'd say an accelerant was used.
Paint thinner, maybe?
220
00:09:30,737 --> 00:09:32,227
So, it wasn't a pro.
221
00:09:32,305 --> 00:09:33,830
Strictly amateur hour.
222
00:09:33,907 --> 00:09:35,705
Thanks, bro.
Thank you.
223
00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:38,335
Gentlemen!
224
00:09:38,411 --> 00:09:40,209
We just spoke
to the Fire Marshal,
225
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,011
and surprise, surprise,
he suspects arson.
226
00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:45,450
Oh, my God. Who would
do such athing?
227
00:09:45,518 --> 00:09:46,576
Who?
228
00:09:46,653 --> 00:09:49,247
Well, whoever did it, you
can be sure we'll find them
229
00:09:49,322 --> 00:09:51,484
and they will be prosecuted to
the full extent of the law.
230
00:09:51,558 --> 00:09:53,026
I would hope so.
231
00:09:53,093 --> 00:09:54,117
And you'll be
happy to know
232
00:09:54,194 --> 00:09:58,062
that all of the records in your office
survived. Unscathed and intact.
233
00:09:58,498 --> 00:10:00,262
Oh, that's...
That's a relief.
234
00:10:00,333 --> 00:10:02,734
Speaking of which,
why was Mrs. Taylor
235
00:10:02,802 --> 00:10:04,497
upset about
your expense reports?
236
00:10:05,505 --> 00:10:07,166
Our expense report?
237
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,766
The night of the benefit?
The night she died?
238
00:10:10,743 --> 00:10:12,302
FONTANA: You remember
you had a fight with her?
239
00:10:12,378 --> 00:10:14,244
Oh, it wasn't a fight.
She was confused.
240
00:10:14,314 --> 00:10:16,180
Let's cut to the chase.
241
00:10:16,649 --> 00:10:19,983
Mrs. Taylor knew that you were
ripping off the Foundation
242
00:10:20,053 --> 00:10:21,145
and you fought.
243
00:10:21,221 --> 00:10:22,416
I didn't.
You mean me.
244
00:10:22,489 --> 00:10:24,355
Exactly, and she was
going to report you
245
00:10:24,424 --> 00:10:25,653
to the Attorney
General's office.
246
00:10:25,725 --> 00:10:27,489
Okay, are... Are we
under arrest here?
247
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:28,686
We're the victims here.
248
00:10:28,761 --> 00:10:30,388
Our offices were
just firebombed.
249
00:10:30,463 --> 00:10:32,431
And the last thing we
need is to be harassed
250
00:10:32,499 --> 00:10:35,469
by a pair of Gestapo
thugsmflfl1badges“. Thugs!
251
00:10:38,805 --> 00:10:40,204
You listen to me.
252
00:10:40,273 --> 00:10:42,139
You and your Doublemint
freak show partner here
253
00:10:42,208 --> 00:10:44,370
better learn some manners,
do you understand?
254
00:10:44,444 --> 00:10:45,707
Huh?
255
00:10:45,778 --> 00:10:47,337
Joe. Let him go.
256
00:10:47,413 --> 00:10:48,505
We'll get
with them later.
257
00:10:48,581 --> 00:10:50,345
Come on,
get outta here.
258
00:10:50,416 --> 00:10:51,645
You will hear
from our attorney.
259
00:10:51,718 --> 00:10:53,311
I will file
a formal complaint.
260
00:10:53,386 --> 00:10:54,615
A brutality complaint.
261
00:10:54,687 --> 00:10:57,952
Yeah, well, don't forget to spell
my name right, you little creep.
262
00:10:58,525 --> 00:10:59,754
What'd you do that for?
263
00:10:59,826 --> 00:11:00,987
I wanted to give one
of them a black eye
264
00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:02,255
so we could
tell them apart.
265
00:11:02,328 --> 00:11:05,593
We don't need to. We could
just run their DNA.
266
00:11:05,665 --> 00:11:07,531
That's only from
one of them.
267
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,399
Identical twins
have identical DNA.
268
00:11:12,438 --> 00:11:14,998
Just what the world needs.
Two of these guys.
269
00:11:21,314 --> 00:11:22,611
Assuming we do get
a positive match,
270
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:24,081
we still can't tell
which brother did it.
271
00:11:24,150 --> 00:11:25,481
Well, that Barry's
got an alibi,
272
00:11:25,552 --> 00:11:27,418
but for all we know they
could've switched places.
273
00:11:27,487 --> 00:11:29,046
And play one twin
off against the other?
274
00:11:29,122 --> 00:11:30,214
I don't think so.
275
00:11:30,290 --> 00:11:31,348
Detectives.
276
00:11:31,424 --> 00:11:32,823
Hey! You ran
a DNA test for us?
277
00:11:32,892 --> 00:11:34,326
Got it right here.
278
00:11:34,394 --> 00:11:35,862
We checked the sample
you gave us
279
00:11:35,929 --> 00:11:38,023
against skin from under
the victim's nails.
280
00:11:38,097 --> 00:11:39,587
FONTANA: And?
There was no match.
281
00:11:40,133 --> 00:11:41,294
Dead end.
282
00:11:41,868 --> 00:11:43,097
Two of them.
283
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,410
The Attorney General's indicting
the twins for grand larceny,
284
00:11:50,476 --> 00:11:52,274
a possible five-to-15.
285
00:11:52,612 --> 00:11:55,013
Fire Marshal's still
investigating the arson.
286
00:11:55,081 --> 00:11:56,310
Well, that's the thing
about twins.
287
00:11:56,382 --> 00:11:58,441
Basically, they're
a conspiracy of two.
288
00:11:58,518 --> 00:11:59,986
So let's try
a new angle.
289
00:12:00,053 --> 00:12:01,612
Lisa Taylor's
credit cards.
290
00:12:01,688 --> 00:12:04,658
Now, there's no activity
since she was murdered,
291
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:07,853
but she ran up a lot of
charges before her death
292
00:12:07,927 --> 00:12:10,419
from an account she didn't
share with Mr. Taylor,
293
00:12:10,496 --> 00:12:12,123
and all the bills
went to her office.
294
00:12:12,465 --> 00:12:15,093
Crowne Plaza, Omni
Berkshire, Sheraton.
295
00:12:15,168 --> 00:12:18,468
Yeah, she booked hotel rooms
a couple of times a week.
296
00:12:18,538 --> 00:12:21,269
Yeah, on nights when her husband
thought she was at the charity.
297
00:12:21,341 --> 00:12:22,866
It was a charity,
all right.
298
00:12:23,509 --> 00:12:25,534
He just didn't know
what she was giving away.
299
00:12:25,778 --> 00:12:28,042
Hmm. Who's Taylor's alibi?
300
00:12:28,114 --> 00:12:29,878
Kitchen staff at
the Chelsea Steakhouse.
301
00:12:29,949 --> 00:12:32,884
Try 'em again. See if they
could cook up the same story.
302
00:12:33,653 --> 00:12:35,052
Taylor was here all night.
303
00:12:35,121 --> 00:12:36,282
ED: "Here," as in,
in this kitchen?
304
00:12:36,356 --> 00:12:38,757
Can we talk about it
later? Fire 13!
305
00:12:38,825 --> 00:12:40,987
Thirteen, go.
Bail Frenchie out.
306
00:12:41,060 --> 00:12:43,495
Baboso, get yourself
together. Pick up!
307
00:12:43,563 --> 00:12:45,725
Hey, listen. Does anybody
know when Mr. Taylor
308
00:12:45,798 --> 00:12:47,732
took his break
on Friday night?
309
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,097
Fire seven!
310
00:12:49,168 --> 00:12:50,897
Guys, we're in
the weeds here, okay?
311
00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:54,099
Okay, everybody stop
what you're doing, now!
312
00:12:55,475 --> 00:12:57,466
Okay, he left
around 9:00.
313
00:12:57,910 --> 00:12:59,173
When did he come back?
314
00:12:59,579 --> 00:13:00,569
No idea.
315
00:13:00,647 --> 00:13:03,014
I saw him come in the
back just after 11:00.
316
00:13:06,052 --> 00:13:08,214
I was working a lot.
I almost never saw Lisa.
317
00:13:08,288 --> 00:13:10,780
But I felt like she was
keeping something from me,
318
00:13:11,357 --> 00:13:12,688
so I read
one of her e-mails,
319
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:14,727
and that's how I found
out that she was cheating.
320
00:13:14,794 --> 00:13:15,989
Who sent the e-mail?
321
00:13:16,062 --> 00:13:18,156
I couldn't tell from the address,
and Lisa wouldn't tell me,
322
00:13:18,231 --> 00:13:20,097
but she said it didn't matter,
that she was ending it.
323
00:13:20,166 --> 00:13:21,292
Did she?
324
00:13:21,367 --> 00:13:22,801
She said she did.
I believe her,
325
00:13:22,869 --> 00:13:25,668
because afterwards,
she was a different person.
326
00:13:26,539 --> 00:13:28,598
She was sweet
and caring,
327
00:13:28,675 --> 00:13:30,643
and it was like we fell in
love all over again, you know?
328
00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:33,077
(LAUGHING) So that's why you
were sleeping on the couch?
329
00:13:33,146 --> 00:13:34,875
Look, I told you, I
didn't wanna wake her.
330
00:13:34,947 --> 00:13:37,177
Okay, I'm gonna ask you
this one more time.
331
00:13:37,250 --> 00:13:38,979
What time did you
get home from the restaurant?
332
00:13:39,052 --> 00:13:40,645
(SIGHING) Around 3:00.
333
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,285
And you worked at the
restaurant all night long?
334
00:13:42,355 --> 00:13:43,413
From noon on.
335
00:13:43,489 --> 00:13:45,014
You never left?
Not once.
336
00:13:45,425 --> 00:13:46,984
Lieutenant said to go
ahead and book him.
337
00:13:47,060 --> 00:13:48,494
Book... Book me? Why?
338
00:13:48,561 --> 00:13:50,222
You never left
the restaurant, huh?
339
00:13:50,430 --> 00:13:53,229
Then where'd you go between 9:00 and 11:00?
Where? Where?
340
00:13:53,299 --> 00:13:54,391
Uh...
Exactly.
341
00:13:54,467 --> 00:13:55,832
No. No, I said
I... I...
342
00:13:55,902 --> 00:13:57,597
I see. Yeah, I know. I heard.
You were working.
343
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:59,138
You know what else
I also heard?
344
00:13:59,205 --> 00:14:00,468
You have the right to remain...
No. Okay, okay!
345
00:14:00,540 --> 00:14:02,008
I was in
Washington Heights.
346
00:14:02,075 --> 00:14:04,305
Really? Why?
347
00:14:05,044 --> 00:14:06,773
It had nothing
to do with Lisa.
348
00:14:08,281 --> 00:14:09,976
(STAMMERING) You work
in a restaurant,
349
00:14:10,049 --> 00:14:12,313
the pace, the hours, sometimes
you need a little help.
350
00:14:12,385 --> 00:14:13,682
A boost.
351
00:14:14,721 --> 00:14:16,519
Is he talking about
a double espresso?
352
00:14:16,589 --> 00:14:18,023
Man, don't tell me
you went all the way
353
00:14:18,091 --> 00:14:19,456
up to Washington Heights
to get ice.
354
00:14:19,525 --> 00:14:20,890
They got plenty of that in Chelsea.
Coke.
355
00:14:20,993 --> 00:14:23,189
My guy usually delivers to the
restaurant, but he got hung up.
356
00:14:23,262 --> 00:14:26,288
All right, come on, Chef Boyardee.
Let's go meet your guy.
357
00:14:28,534 --> 00:14:31,504
First time I ever had someone
use a coke deal as an alibi.
358
00:14:31,571 --> 00:14:32,629
And it checks out?
359
00:14:32,705 --> 00:14:33,797
We found
Taylor's dealer.
360
00:14:33,873 --> 00:14:35,363
He gave us
the same story.
361
00:14:35,441 --> 00:14:39,241
And Taylor got cash at St.
Nicholas Avenue on 181st Street.
362
00:14:39,712 --> 00:14:41,942
We took this photo
from the ATM machine.
363
00:14:42,415 --> 00:14:45,077
He took out $300
at 10:05.
364
00:14:45,251 --> 00:14:47,743
What time did Lisa Taylor
leave the benefit?
365
00:14:47,820 --> 00:14:50,312
Eugene Syles says shelefl
right around 10:00.
366
00:14:50,390 --> 00:14:54,088
So Mr. Taylor could not have been
downtown in the park with his wife.
367
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,390
Hey,yo! lgotanlD ontheloven
368
00:14:56,462 --> 00:14:57,623
VAN BUREN: Thejilted lover.
369
00:14:57,697 --> 00:15:00,394
That is, if you believe Mrs.
Taylor ended the affair.
370
00:15:00,466 --> 00:15:02,366
I pulled the e-mail
from Taylor's hard drive,
371
00:15:02,468 --> 00:15:03,993
and it eventually
led me to this.
372
00:15:04,370 --> 00:15:07,203
VAN BUREN: "Aberto Moretti,
The Flavor Renaissance."
373
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:08,897
Another chef?
374
00:15:08,975 --> 00:15:11,171
Well, he's doing a little
better than her husband is.
375
00:15:11,244 --> 00:15:12,473
He's a celebrity chef.
376
00:15:12,545 --> 00:15:13,740
He's got a show
on Cuisine TV,
377
00:15:13,813 --> 00:15:15,076
he's got a three-star
restaurant in Midtown.
378
00:15:15,148 --> 00:15:17,173
The guy's a regular
rock star.
379
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:19,617
So if Lisa Taylor
did end the affair,
380
00:15:19,685 --> 00:15:22,484
could be our rock star chef
didn't take it so well.
381
00:15:26,025 --> 00:15:28,460
I loved working with Lisa.
We all did.
382
00:15:28,528 --> 00:15:32,362
It wasn't just a professional
relationship, now was it?
383
00:15:32,465 --> 00:15:33,899
Well, I considered her
also a friend.
384
00:15:33,966 --> 00:15:35,627
(DETECTIVES LAUGHING)
385
00:15:35,701 --> 00:15:37,226
So when did
the affair start?
386
00:15:37,970 --> 00:15:39,062
I'm sorry?
387
00:15:39,138 --> 00:15:41,630
FONTANA: Let's not play dumb.
We know all about it.
388
00:15:41,908 --> 00:15:44,809
We met five months ago. I was
shooting the cooking show.
389
00:15:44,877 --> 00:15:47,471
She came to my dressing
room to congratulate me.
390
00:15:47,547 --> 00:15:49,845
We immediately had
sort of a connection.
391
00:15:49,916 --> 00:15:51,975
Mr. Moretti?
Would you sign this?
392
00:15:52,051 --> 00:15:53,075
Oh, of course.
393
00:15:55,254 --> 00:15:57,245
You should hang on to that
for the future, ma'am.
394
00:15:57,323 --> 00:15:58,654
It could get
more valuable.
395
00:15:58,724 --> 00:15:59,816
Is that right?
396
00:15:59,892 --> 00:16:01,553
Yeah.
Think Martha Stewart.
397
00:16:02,795 --> 00:16:04,320
(LAUGHS) Thank you.
398
00:16:06,499 --> 00:16:08,297
Buon apetito,
WOMAN: Thank you.
399
00:16:08,935 --> 00:16:10,960
How did you take it when
Lisa ended the affair?
400
00:16:11,571 --> 00:16:14,404
Ended?
Who said it ended?
401
00:16:14,874 --> 00:16:16,069
Her husband.
402
00:16:16,542 --> 00:16:17,668
Please.
403
00:16:18,211 --> 00:16:20,578
That's what she told him just
to get him off her back.
404
00:16:21,547 --> 00:16:22,708
So it wasn't over?
405
00:16:22,782 --> 00:16:25,342
Well, if it was, she had a
strange way of showing it.
406
00:16:25,785 --> 00:16:26,809
You know what I mean.
407
00:16:27,353 --> 00:16:28,650
Did you see her
Friday evening?
408
00:16:28,721 --> 00:16:30,519
No. No, I was
doing the show.
409
00:16:30,590 --> 00:16:33,457
We shot until 9:30, then I met
a business partner downtown.
410
00:16:34,060 --> 00:16:35,528
I'll find his
number for you.
411
00:16:35,695 --> 00:16:38,665
You mind telling me where
you got that, uh, cut?
412
00:16:39,332 --> 00:16:42,393
All these years as a chef,
I still cut myself.
413
00:16:42,468 --> 00:16:44,334
I like to think it's
a badge ofhonon
414
00:16:44,403 --> 00:16:46,565
Do you have any other badges
of honor on your body?
415
00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:48,266
Like on your neck
or your arms, maybe?
416
00:16:48,608 --> 00:16:49,632
Of course not.
417
00:16:49,709 --> 00:16:50,699
Mind if we take a look?
418
00:16:50,776 --> 00:16:53,006
Not at all, but I have a
driver waiting for me outside.
419
00:16:53,079 --> 00:16:54,376
He's taking me
to the set,
420
00:16:54,447 --> 00:16:56,176
and I have a critic from
the Times on Table 18.
421
00:16:56,249 --> 00:16:57,444
Well, they'rejust
gonna have to wait,
422
00:16:57,517 --> 00:16:58,712
because we're not
done yet.
423
00:16:59,252 --> 00:17:00,651
Am I being
detained, Detective?
424
00:17:01,220 --> 00:17:03,314
Because if I am, I should
have my lawyer here.
425
00:17:08,661 --> 00:17:10,390
Then if you'll
excuse me, please.
426
00:17:12,131 --> 00:17:13,394
Okay.
427
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,390
Okay.

ED: You
Mr. Moretti's driver?
429

I work for Cuisine TV. I drive
whoever they tell me to.
430
00:17:23,509 --> 00:17:25,034
Well, what about
last Friday night?
431
00:17:29,382 --> 00:17:31,009
Yeah, I drove Mr. Moretti.
432
00:17:31,083 --> 00:17:32,949
FONTANA: What time?
9:45.
433
00:17:33,019 --> 00:17:35,784
Where did you drop him?
Twentieth and Lex.
434
00:17:35,855 --> 00:17:37,084
ED: At the park?
435
00:17:37,156 --> 00:17:38,715
Across the street from it.
436
00:17:40,793 --> 00:17:42,090
Thank you.
437
00:17:42,161 --> 00:17:44,823
So, you think the victim and Moretti
agreed to meet in the park?
438
00:17:44,897 --> 00:17:46,296
Well, that could be
where she broke it off.
439
00:17:46,365 --> 00:17:47,958
Which, like you said,
he didn't take that well.
440
00:17:48,034 --> 00:17:49,126
What else?
441
00:17:49,201 --> 00:17:53,138
Crime Scene generated this from
the mold of a footprint we found.
442
00:17:53,205 --> 00:17:55,503
Penis W“ pounds,
wears a she W boot,
443
00:17:55,575 --> 00:17:57,065
and we even know
what kind of boot it is.
444
00:17:57,143 --> 00:17:59,475
They're made by an English
shoemaker, name of Jack Farlow.
445
00:17:59,545 --> 00:18:00,774
Cost six grand a pair.
446
00:18:01,747 --> 00:18:02,771
Come again?
447
00:18:03,149 --> 00:18:04,310
Well, they're
custom made.
448
00:18:04,383 --> 00:18:05,578
They fit your feet
like a glove.
449
00:18:05,651 --> 00:18:08,348
If we do find the boot, we can
match the wear of the sole.
450
00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:09,752
But we don't have
enough for a warrant.
451
00:18:09,822 --> 00:18:11,483
So we figured we'd start
with the shoemaker.
452
00:18:11,557 --> 00:18:12,718
There's only one
in New York.
453
00:18:12,792 --> 00:18:14,556
Yeah, well, there can't
be a lot of people
454
00:18:14,627 --> 00:18:16,721
paying those
prices for boots.
455
00:18:16,796 --> 00:18:18,992
Six thousand dollars
for a pair of boots?
456
00:18:20,266 --> 00:18:23,634
I'm sorry. We don't divulge
the names of our customers.
457
00:18:23,703 --> 00:18:25,671
Many of them
are well-known.
458
00:18:25,738 --> 00:18:27,263
They value
their privacy.
459
00:18:27,773 --> 00:18:29,537
It's a shoe store,
not a rehab clinic.
460
00:18:29,609 --> 00:18:31,543
(CHUCKLES)
Hey, look here.
461
00:18:31,844 --> 00:18:33,039
We come back
with a warrant,
462
00:18:33,112 --> 00:18:35,171
I can't guarantee that our boys
ain't gonna toss this joint.
463
00:18:35,247 --> 00:18:39,047
Be a real shame to see all of
this fine quality footwear
464
00:18:39,118 --> 00:18:40,711
in a pile
on the floor.
465
00:18:41,887 --> 00:18:43,116
The name again?
466
00:18:44,190 --> 00:18:47,490
Moretti. Aberto Moretti.
467
00:18:48,194 --> 00:18:50,128
Yes, Mr. Moretti.
468
00:18:50,196 --> 00:18:53,894

ankle-boots last spring.

FONTANA: Have you
seen him since?
470
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:58,771
As a matter of fact,
he came in two days ago.
471
00:18:58,838 --> 00:19:01,034
Don't tell me he came here to
buy another pair of boots?
472
00:19:01,107 --> 00:19:03,235
No, he, uh,
had them resoled.
473
00:19:03,309 --> 00:19:05,038
Said he needed
it done immediately.
474
00:19:05,244 --> 00:19:07,269
I thought they were
fine as they were.
475
00:19:07,513 --> 00:19:10,073
Any chance those soles
are still on the premises?
476
00:19:10,483 --> 00:19:12,008
They were thrown away.
477
00:19:12,084 --> 00:19:13,813
Yeah, but you would know
'em if you saw them.
478
00:19:13,886 --> 00:19:15,479
Have you thrown
out the trash?
479
00:19:16,022 --> 00:19:18,514
Well, there's a
dumpster out back,
480
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:20,823
but it would take all day
for me to go through it.
481
00:19:20,893 --> 00:19:22,224
Well, I've got all day.
482
00:19:22,294 --> 00:19:23,284
How about you?

00:19:23,629 --> 00:19:25,119
I'm even free tomorrow.

Get a little wine, turn down the
flame, now that's beautiful.

We'll be right back.
Don't touch the remote.

forgive yourself.

Oh, it's a little too
late to make nicey-nice.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used
against you in a court of law.

00:20:31,197 --> 00:20:33,598
Ms. Borgia?
The People request remand.
514
00:20:33,666 --> 00:20:36,158
My client has strong
ties to this community.
515
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:38,329
He owns a restaurant
on 54th Street
516
00:20:38,404 --> 00:20:41,203
and he stars in a cooking show
filmed right here in Manhattan.
517
00:20:41,273 --> 00:20:43,367
The People have considerable
forensic evidence, Your Honor,
518
00:20:43,442 --> 00:20:44,534
including DNA.
519
00:20:44,610 --> 00:20:45,941
None of which
is conclusive.
520
00:20:46,011 --> 00:20:48,002
The defendant will
surrender his passport.
521
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,514
Bail is set at
one million dollars.

(BANGS GAVEL)
523
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:56,418
DRESSLER: My client is not
interested in discussing a plea.
524
00:20:56,489 --> 00:20:57,684
Tell him to reconsider.
525
00:20:57,757 --> 00:20:59,953
Forensics prove only that he
had an affair with the victim,
526
00:21:00,025 --> 00:21:01,151
which he freely admits.
527
00:21:01,227 --> 00:21:02,717
He was in the park
that night.
528
00:21:02,795 --> 00:21:04,889
So? That's not what
he told the police.
529
00:21:04,964 --> 00:21:06,159
He lied to them.
530
00:21:06,232 --> 00:21:07,927
And his DNA was under
the victim's fingernails.
531
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,798
You ever had wild sex?
532
00:21:09,869 --> 00:21:10,961
Excuse me?
533
00:21:11,036 --> 00:21:13,061
You know, secretive,
passionate, forbidden sex
534
00:21:13,139 --> 00:21:14,766
between two
consenting adults?
535
00:21:15,641 --> 00:21:19,373
If not, I'll tell you, sometimes
there's scratching involved.
536
00:21:20,346 --> 00:21:22,405
Which would be
relevant if Mr. Moretti
537
00:21:22,481 --> 00:21:23,971
and Lisa Taylor had
had sex that day.
538
00:21:24,049 --> 00:21:25,244
Exactly.
539
00:21:25,751 --> 00:21:27,845
You're saying they...
Had sex that day.
540
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,046
Yeah.
541
00:21:30,222 --> 00:21:31,314
(SCOFFS)
542
00:21:32,758 --> 00:21:33,884
They could've had sex.
543
00:21:33,959 --> 00:21:35,358
He says they used
a condom,
544
00:21:35,427 --> 00:21:36,553
so there's no way
to disprove it.
545
00:21:36,629 --> 00:21:38,495
Kind of takes the edge
off our theory
546
00:21:38,564 --> 00:21:41,534
that Mrs. Taylor was ending the affair.
Have you seen this?
547
00:21:44,003 --> 00:21:46,597
"Aberto Moretti paints
the town last month
548
00:21:46,672 --> 00:21:48,538
"with model Rachel Klaas"?
549
00:21:48,607 --> 00:21:50,598
A month before
Taylor was murdered.
550
00:21:50,910 --> 00:21:53,436
The jury might wonder if Moretti
was really broken-hearted
551
00:21:53,512 --> 00:21:55,776
about Taylor if he was
running around with models.
552
00:21:56,415 --> 00:21:57,849
Why don't I ask her?
553
00:22:01,353 --> 00:22:03,082
RACHEL: Aberto and I
were never exclusive.
554
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:06,090
We were on and off.
We're now seriously off.
555
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:08,316
So you knew he was seeing Mrs.
Taylor?
556
00:22:08,427 --> 00:22:10,555
I'd hear the messages she'd
leave on his machine.
557
00:22:10,629 --> 00:22:12,393
"Love you, honey.
Call me."
558
00:22:12,665 --> 00:22:15,157
Did he ever say anything about Mrs.
Taylor leaving him?
559
00:22:15,234 --> 00:22:17,703
No, and even if he did,
he'd spin it.
560
00:22:17,770 --> 00:22:18,794
Say that he
dumped her.
561
00:22:18,871 --> 00:22:21,966
I mean, men like Aberto, they're
always the dumper, never the dumpee.
562
00:22:22,041 --> 00:22:23,634
But as far as you know,
they were still together?
563
00:22:23,709 --> 00:22:24,801
The perfect couple.
564
00:22:24,877 --> 00:22:26,641
I mean, what was she?
A decade older?
565
00:22:26,946 --> 00:22:28,141
Twelve years.
566
00:22:28,547 --> 00:22:30,481
Well, they had
one thing in common.
567
00:22:30,549 --> 00:22:32,608
They were both
in love with Aberto.
568
00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:35,248
You know how
they met, right?
569
00:22:35,321 --> 00:22:36,550
On the set of his show?
570
00:22:36,622 --> 00:22:40,650
They met when he went in for the pitch.
She bought the show.
571
00:22:40,759 --> 00:22:41,817
I thought that...
572
00:22:41,894 --> 00:22:43,293
He lies about it,
'cause if people knew
573
00:22:43,362 --> 00:22:46,195
he slept his way to a cooking
show on basic cable.
574
00:22:46,265 --> 00:22:47,926
I mean,
how sad is that?
575
00:22:50,269 --> 00:22:52,101
DAN: The network
wanted an ethnic show,
576
00:22:52,171 --> 00:22:55,869
preferably Italian, so
we put Aberto on tape.
577
00:22:56,242 --> 00:22:58,643
Later he sent Lisa
a bottle of Chianti,
578
00:22:58,711 --> 00:23:01,703
a plate of carpaccio,
and some caviar.
579
00:23:01,780 --> 00:23:03,305
As if caviar
is Italian.
580
00:23:03,682 --> 00:23:04,808
Would you have
hired him?
581
00:23:04,884 --> 00:23:06,978
It wasn't up to me.
Let's leave it at that.
582
00:23:07,052 --> 00:23:08,611
And how
are the ratings?
583
00:23:09,755 --> 00:23:11,780
We started off
not so hot.
584
00:23:11,857 --> 00:23:13,825
Now we're ice cold.
585
00:23:13,926 --> 00:23:16,486
Shot 13 episodes, still
waiting for the network
586
00:23:16,562 --> 00:23:18,052
to order more.
587
00:23:18,564 --> 00:23:20,931
Officially, we're still
on the bubble, but, uh...
588
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,525
Who makes that decision?
589
00:23:22,601 --> 00:23:26,504
Would've been Lisa. Now it's him.
Mr. Desmond.
590
00:23:30,042 --> 00:23:32,909
Aberto's numbers went up
temporarily after he was arrested,
591
00:23:32,978 --> 00:23:34,446
but now they're
down again.
592
00:23:34,513 --> 00:23:36,675
How did Lisa Taylor
feel about the program?
593
00:23:36,749 --> 00:23:38,274
Ratings affect
advertising.
594
00:23:38,684 --> 00:23:40,482
Ads make the world
go round.
595
00:23:40,552 --> 00:23:42,111
Was she canceling
the show?
596
00:23:42,187 --> 00:23:44,918
Decided to pull the plug a
few days before she died.
597
00:23:45,691 --> 00:23:47,056
Did Aberto know?
598
00:23:48,661 --> 00:23:49,958
I assume.
599
00:23:50,562 --> 00:23:51,893
Lisa could've had
someone else tell him,
600
00:23:51,964 --> 00:23:53,898
but I know that
she wanted him to
601
00:23:53,966 --> 00:23:55,525
hear it
from her first.
602
00:23:57,703 --> 00:24:00,365
So, Lisa Taylor wasn't
canceling the relationship.
603
00:24:00,439 --> 00:24:01,702
Just his cooking show.
604
00:24:02,341 --> 00:24:04,207
That's motive?
You buy that?
605
00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:06,779
You get a hit show, you could
have a dozen restaurants
606
00:24:06,845 --> 00:24:08,176
in world-class resorts.
607
00:24:08,247 --> 00:24:09,772
Millions of
dollars a year.
608
00:24:09,848 --> 00:24:12,283
Any sense as to whether
Moretti will take the stand?
609
00:24:12,551 --> 00:24:13,712
He's charismatic.
610
00:24:13,786 --> 00:24:16,278
I don't see the defense
risking a cross-examination.
611
00:24:16,355 --> 00:24:17,880
Too many lies
to keep straight.
612
00:24:17,957 --> 00:24:21,188
If the defense can't offer
up a damn good explanation
613
00:24:21,260 --> 00:24:23,456
as to why Moretti
changed his story,
614
00:24:23,529 --> 00:24:25,588
then I'd say
you have an advantage.
615
00:24:26,732 --> 00:24:28,257
Or am I
tempting fate?
616
00:24:32,538 --> 00:24:35,633
It was determined that the skin
under the victim's fingernails
617
00:24:35,708 --> 00:24:37,073
belonged to the defendant.
618
00:24:37,543 --> 00:24:39,272
After the defendant
was arrested,
619
00:24:39,345 --> 00:24:42,246
the police took these pictures
of his hands and neck.
620
00:24:43,282 --> 00:24:45,717
He had a scratch on his right
thumb and one on his neck,
621
00:24:45,784 --> 00:24:48,310
two inches above
his right clavicle.
622
00:24:48,387 --> 00:24:50,685
Any way to determine the
cause of these injuries?
623
00:24:50,756 --> 00:24:53,418
They are consistent
with defensive wounds
624
00:24:53,492 --> 00:24:55,859
a victim may inflict
while being strangled.
625
00:24:56,295 --> 00:24:58,229
Your Honor, may I have
the witness step down
626
00:24:58,297 --> 00:24:59,560
and demonstrate
for the court?
627
00:24:59,631 --> 00:25:01,224
Objection.
JUDGE: I'll allow it.
628
00:25:02,468 --> 00:25:04,368
JACK: If a court officer
will assist her?
629
00:25:08,974 --> 00:25:10,874
There were
half-moon-shaped bruises
630
00:25:10,943 --> 00:25:12,775
on the back
of the victim's neck,
631
00:25:12,845 --> 00:25:14,711
left there by
the killer's fingernails.
632
00:25:15,247 --> 00:25:17,181
And this means that
the killer and victim
633
00:25:17,249 --> 00:25:18,410
were facing
each other.
634
00:25:19,284 --> 00:25:21,981
Now, if he is
strangling me...
635
00:25:22,654 --> 00:25:25,021
Your Honor?
Overruled, Ms. Dressier.
636
00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:26,248
Continue.
637
00:25:27,726 --> 00:25:30,525
The easiest way for me
to reach his hands,
638
00:25:31,163 --> 00:25:33,029
is to reach
my arm across.
639
00:25:33,098 --> 00:25:35,123
Now, if I go
for his right hand,
640
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,032
I will dig
into his thumb.
641
00:25:37,603 --> 00:25:41,562
And if I try to push him
back with my left hand,
642
00:25:42,107 --> 00:25:45,702
my thumbnail might leave a
horizontal scratch on his neck.
643
00:25:47,212 --> 00:25:48,304
Thank you.
644
00:25:49,948 --> 00:25:51,177
Do you believe
these scratches
645
00:25:51,250 --> 00:25:53,378
were sustained
during consensual sex?
646
00:25:53,452 --> 00:25:54,647
I do not.
647
00:25:55,421 --> 00:25:56,889
No further questions.
648
00:26:00,993 --> 00:26:03,860
Regardless of what you
may or may not have seen
649
00:26:03,929 --> 00:26:05,590
during your time
in the morgue,
650
00:26:06,065 --> 00:26:07,897
can you imagine
any configuration
651
00:26:07,966 --> 00:26:10,128
in which someone
would scratch their lover
652
00:26:10,202 --> 00:26:12,432
exactly that way
during lovemaking?
653
00:26:12,771 --> 00:26:13,966
I can imagine it.
654
00:26:14,039 --> 00:26:16,508
If strangulation
turns you on.
655
00:26:17,543 --> 00:26:19,409
And would you care to
demonstrate for the court?
656
00:26:19,678 --> 00:26:21,305
JACK: Your Honor?
DRESSLER: Withdrawn.
657
00:26:21,380 --> 00:26:22,677
No further questions.
658
00:26:29,688 --> 00:26:31,588
Excuse me, Ms. Borgia?
659
00:26:32,357 --> 00:26:33,449
Ben Gorman.
660
00:26:33,525 --> 00:26:35,516
I left a message with Mr.
McCoy's office.
661
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:36,686
Nobody got back
to me.
662
00:26:36,762 --> 00:26:38,059
A message regarding...
663
00:26:38,130 --> 00:26:39,757
I thought you should
hear it from me.
664
00:26:40,099 --> 00:26:41,123
How can I help you?
665
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,464
Iwork at a publishing
house, Craig & Staehler.
666
00:26:43,702 --> 00:26:45,261
I got a call yesterday
from a woman,
667
00:26:45,337 --> 00:26:46,805
she wouldn't tell me
her name,
668
00:26:46,872 --> 00:26:49,898
asking if we would publish her
book about Mr. Moretti's trial.
669
00:26:49,975 --> 00:26:50,965
What sort of book?
670
00:26:51,043 --> 00:26:52,408
She believes
he's innocent.
671
00:26:53,212 --> 00:26:54,646
Everyone's entitled
to their opinion.
672
00:26:54,713 --> 00:26:56,340
There's no law
against writing a book.
673
00:26:56,849 --> 00:26:59,045
She said she's one of the
jurors in your trial.
674
00:27:01,420 --> 00:27:02,546
DRESSLER: Could be a hoax.
675
00:27:02,621 --> 00:27:04,988
Nevertheless, we have
to take this seriously.
676
00:27:05,057 --> 00:27:06,422
It's like
a bomb scare.
677
00:27:06,492 --> 00:27:08,460
Probably a prank, but you still
have to leave the building.
678
00:27:08,527 --> 00:27:09,551
Yeah, well, if this
proves to be true,
679
00:27:09,628 --> 00:27:11,722
I don't know how
we avoid a mistrial.
680
00:27:11,830 --> 00:27:14,891
You know, when ajuror is sharing
her opinions with publishers,
681
00:27:14,967 --> 00:27:16,935
then she's obviously been
speaking to otherjurors.
682
00:27:17,002 --> 00:27:18,265
Iwouldn't make
that assumption.
683
00:27:18,337 --> 00:27:20,601
There's no indication the rest of
the jury has been contaminated.
684
00:27:20,672 --> 00:27:21,867
All right,
let's not be naive.
685
00:27:21,940 --> 00:27:24,841
I don't want a mistrial any
more than you do, Mr. McCoy.
686
00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:27,703
We voir dire each
member of the jury.
687
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,640
Anyone found to have had
an unauthorized discussion
688
00:27:30,716 --> 00:27:32,582
of this case
will be excused.
689
00:27:33,018 --> 00:27:35,749
If that leaves us without
12jurors, then, Ms. Dressier,
690
00:27:35,821 --> 00:27:37,084
we have a mistrial.
691
00:27:37,156 --> 00:27:38,385
Not before.
692
00:27:38,457 --> 00:27:39,686
And our
mystery juror?
693
00:27:39,758 --> 00:27:43,353
If she exists, we find
out who the hell she is.
694
00:27:51,236 --> 00:27:53,261
Of course the defense
wants a mistrial.
695
00:27:53,338 --> 00:27:54,601
They have
nothing to lose.
696
00:27:54,673 --> 00:27:58,075
It could take six months to get another
trial going, anything can happen.
697
00:27:58,143 --> 00:28:00,339
Evidence gets lost,
a witness drops dead.
698
00:28:00,412 --> 00:28:02,176
Or their memory
gets hazy.
699
00:28:02,414 --> 00:28:03,643
What've you got?
700
00:28:03,715 --> 00:28:04,841
Seven women
on the jury.
701
00:28:04,917 --> 00:28:06,180
We're focusing
on these two.
702
00:28:06,618 --> 00:28:09,519
Thais Walters, 29, single.
West Village bartender.
703
00:28:09,755 --> 00:28:10,847
Claimed during
voir dire
704
00:28:10,923 --> 00:28:13,017
she never knew anyone
convicted of a felony.
705
00:28:13,091 --> 00:28:15,025
Turns out she has a
half-brother at Sing Sing
706
00:28:15,093 --> 00:28:16,857
for the assault
of a police officer.
707
00:28:17,329 --> 00:28:19,525
Could have a bone to pick
with the justice system.
708
00:28:19,598 --> 00:28:21,088
Or maybe
she never knew.
709
00:28:21,867 --> 00:28:23,232
Her brother
was homeless.
710
00:28:23,302 --> 00:28:24,667
It's possible
they weren't in touch.
711
00:28:24,736 --> 00:28:25,999
I'm curious
about this one.
712
00:28:26,338 --> 00:28:27,499
Sara Jobson.
713
00:28:27,573 --> 00:28:30,565
Forty-one, divorced. A writer
and part-time receptionist.
714
00:28:30,642 --> 00:28:31,768
A writer.
715
00:28:31,843 --> 00:28:33,607
She neglected to mention
during voir dire
716
00:28:33,679 --> 00:28:35,238
that she worked
as a food critic
717
00:28:35,314 --> 00:28:36,975
for a magazine
called Ambrosia.
718
00:28:37,816 --> 00:28:39,409
Read any
of her articles?
719
00:28:39,484 --> 00:28:41,714
They have an office
on Pitt and Stanton.
720
00:28:42,888 --> 00:28:44,322
Couldn't be much
of an office.
721
00:28:46,158 --> 00:28:49,184
She wrote a half-dozen
pieces before we let her go.
722
00:28:49,261 --> 00:28:50,251
Why was she fired?
723
00:28:50,963 --> 00:28:52,988
There are hundreds of
great chefs in New York.
724
00:28:53,765 --> 00:28:56,826
Sara kept writing about the same ones.
Here we go.
725
00:28:58,103 --> 00:29:00,299
"Chef Aberto Moretti,
The Perfect Dish."
726
00:29:00,372 --> 00:29:01,635
He's her favorite.
727
00:29:01,707 --> 00:29:03,402
"Graceful and handsome,
women find Aberto
728
00:29:03,475 --> 00:29:05,273
"as mouthwatering
as his tiramisu."
729
00:29:05,344 --> 00:29:07,904
Another reason she was fired.
Her writing sucked.
730
00:29:12,284 --> 00:29:13,513
SARA: I'd have
mentioned the articles,
731
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:14,950
if I'd known
it was important.
732
00:29:15,020 --> 00:29:16,419
I wasn't trying
to hide them.
733
00:29:17,122 --> 00:29:19,022
Ms. Jobson, did you
recently contact
734
00:29:19,091 --> 00:29:20,855
a publisher
named Ben Gorman?
735
00:29:21,126 --> 00:29:23,458
In order to sell my
writing, I call publishers.
736
00:29:24,029 --> 00:29:25,588
Did you provide this
publisher with information
737
00:29:25,664 --> 00:29:27,530
about Mr. Moretti's
criminal trial?
738
00:29:28,867 --> 00:29:30,062
Is that illegal?
739
00:29:30,469 --> 00:29:32,460
JUDGE: Please answer
the question, Ms. Jobson.
740
00:29:34,206 --> 00:29:35,435
Yes, I did.
741
00:29:36,375 --> 00:29:38,275
Did you discuss this
case with otherjurors?
742
00:29:38,910 --> 00:29:40,002
SARA: No.
743
00:29:40,145 --> 00:29:43,581
You were told to refrain from
discussing this case with anyone
744
00:29:44,182 --> 00:29:45,809
until you were
instructed otherwise.
745
00:29:45,884 --> 00:29:47,716
Why did you contact
Mr. Gorman?
746
00:29:47,953 --> 00:29:51,116
Because, in my opinion, this
has not been a fair trial,
747
00:29:51,189 --> 00:29:52,953
and people have
a right to know that.
748
00:29:53,025 --> 00:29:54,550
How has it been unfair?
749
00:29:54,926 --> 00:29:58,453
They're saying Aberto killed Mrs.
Taylor out of desperation?
750
00:29:58,530 --> 00:30:01,795
Why would he be desperate when
he has a new restaurant opening
751
00:30:01,867 --> 00:30:03,198
in the Time Warner building?
752
00:30:03,268 --> 00:30:05,327
Another cookbook
coming out in the fall?
753
00:30:05,404 --> 00:30:07,065
Ms. Jobson,
that's irrelevant.
754
00:30:07,372 --> 00:30:10,239
Your job is to weigh
the facts as presented.
755
00:30:10,609 --> 00:30:12,771
Your Honor, I've done
research on this.
756
00:30:13,278 --> 00:30:15,804
A juror has to follow
their conscience,
757
00:30:15,881 --> 00:30:17,610
even when it
contradicts the law.
758
00:30:17,683 --> 00:30:19,742
That's what jury
nullification is.
759
00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:22,844
That would be if you were taking
issue with a specific law,
760
00:30:22,921 --> 00:30:24,411
which isn't
the case here.
761
00:30:24,489 --> 00:30:25,957
And while we're
on the subject,
762
00:30:26,024 --> 00:30:27,924
jury nullification
is illegal.
763
00:30:28,327 --> 00:30:30,955
My understanding... You have none, Ms.
Jobson.
764
00:30:31,530 --> 00:30:33,225
Do the People
wish to comment or object
765
00:30:33,298 --> 00:30:34,788
to the discharge
of this juror?
766
00:30:34,866 --> 00:30:36,300
No, Your Honor.
767
00:30:36,368 --> 00:30:37,358
Ms. Dressier?
768
00:30:37,836 --> 00:30:39,634
No further questions,
Your Honor.
769
00:30:40,372 --> 00:30:44,104
Sara Jobson, I find you to be grossly
unqualified to serve as ajuror.
770
00:30:44,176 --> 00:30:45,735
You are hereby discharged.
771
00:30:46,478 --> 00:30:47,604
(BANGS GAVEL)
772
00:30:52,217 --> 00:30:54,948
JACK: She said she never talked
about the case with otherjurors!
773
00:30:55,020 --> 00:30:57,853
You think that woman kept her
mouth shut during lunch breaks?
774
00:30:57,923 --> 00:30:59,550
"Jury nullification"
my ass.
775
00:30:59,624 --> 00:31:02,025
In terms of the defendant
getting a fair trial,
776
00:31:02,094 --> 00:31:04,153
if Ms. Jobson
expressed her views,
777
00:31:04,229 --> 00:31:05,856
she was pulling in the
defendant's favor!
778
00:31:05,931 --> 00:31:08,093
Ajuror like that could
easily have turned
779
00:31:08,166 --> 00:31:09,759
the others
against my client.
780
00:31:09,835 --> 00:31:12,566
That's speculation until we
voir dire the rest of the jury.
781
00:31:12,637 --> 00:31:15,663
Yes, Mr. McCoy.
And the alternates.
782
00:31:16,475 --> 00:31:17,965
One down, 13 to go.
783
00:31:21,213 --> 00:31:22,374
How'd it turn out?
784
00:31:22,447 --> 00:31:24,506
The jurors all say they
never discussed the case.
785
00:31:24,583 --> 00:31:26,517
Congratulations,
you're back on track.
786
00:31:26,952 --> 00:31:28,613
Let me buy you both dinner.
Great.
787
00:31:28,854 --> 00:31:30,982
Jack? Pn1reading
this transcript.
788
00:31:31,390 --> 00:31:33,415
Ms. Jobson said Moretti
has a new restaurant
789
00:31:33,492 --> 00:31:35,119
opening in
the Time Warner building?
790
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:36,552
So?
791
00:31:36,628 --> 00:31:38,062
First I heard of it.
792
00:31:38,597 --> 00:31:39,860
How does she know
about this?
793
00:31:40,265 --> 00:31:41,790
Could've read it somewhere.
794
00:31:41,867 --> 00:31:43,096
Maybe.
795
00:31:43,168 --> 00:31:45,296
Call management at the
Time Warner building.
796
00:31:45,370 --> 00:31:47,464
If they say there's
a restaurant opening,
797
00:31:47,539 --> 00:31:48,700
get the name
of the realtor.
798
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:51,239
Guess dinner can wait.
799
00:31:53,278 --> 00:31:54,507
Where you going
with this?
800
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,348
Not sure yet.
801
00:31:58,750 --> 00:32:02,516
I was doing a piece
on Aberto last year.
802
00:32:03,088 --> 00:32:05,580
Someone said he had another
restaurant in the works.
803
00:32:05,657 --> 00:32:07,648
I don't remember
who told me.
804
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:09,750
There wasn't space available
in the Time Warner building
805
00:32:09,828 --> 00:32:11,296
until three weeks ago.
806
00:32:11,363 --> 00:32:13,764
You're one of the few
people who know about this.
807
00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:16,124
I'm off the jury.
808
00:32:17,235 --> 00:32:19,169
This has nothing
to do with me now.
809
00:32:19,237 --> 00:32:22,229
Since the trial began,
you've received five calls
810
00:32:22,307 --> 00:32:24,742
from a payphone outside Mr.
Moretti's apartment.
811
00:32:25,210 --> 00:32:28,475
You can explain that to the police or us.
Your choice.
812
00:32:29,681 --> 00:32:31,809
I can't help it
if someone calls me.
813
00:32:32,184 --> 00:32:35,119
If you have an agreement with Mr.
Moretti in regards to this trial,
814
00:32:35,187 --> 00:32:37,212
you could be charged
with receiving a bribe.
815
00:32:37,289 --> 00:32:39,690
That carries a sentence
of up to seven years.
816
00:32:43,895 --> 00:32:46,125
I wanted to write a
book about the trial.
817
00:32:47,466 --> 00:32:49,457
That's all.
Just a book.
818
00:32:50,569 --> 00:32:52,537
Who made contact,
you or him?
819
00:32:56,775 --> 00:32:58,072
He found me.
820
00:33:03,248 --> 00:33:05,046
You're putting ajuror
on the stand?
821
00:33:05,116 --> 00:33:06,880
An ex-juror.
Is that legal?
822
00:33:07,052 --> 00:33:09,714
Ms. Jobson is not a
credible witness, YourHonoL
823
00:33:09,921 --> 00:33:11,855
She was present for all
preceding testimony.
824
00:33:11,923 --> 00:33:13,982
I mean, she is
hardly objective.
825
00:33:14,059 --> 00:33:15,959
She wasn't objective
to begin with.
826
00:33:17,028 --> 00:33:19,793
Okay, without admitting guilt
on the part of my client,
827
00:33:19,865 --> 00:33:21,959
jury tampering is
an unrelated charge,
828
00:33:22,033 --> 00:33:24,468
completely separate
from the trial in progress.
829
00:33:24,536 --> 00:33:25,935
An attempt to
corrupt a 'gum:
830
00:33:26,004 --> 00:33:28,063
demonstrates consciousness
of guilt, Your Honor.
831
00:33:28,139 --> 00:33:29,629
An alleged attempt.
832
00:33:29,708 --> 00:33:32,006
The People have enough to bring
the issue before the court.
833
00:33:32,077 --> 00:33:33,841
And since the trial was
almost derailed over this,
834
00:33:33,912 --> 00:33:35,744
I'd say yes,
the charges are relevant.
835
00:33:36,348 --> 00:33:37,975
The People may call
Ms. Jobson as a witness,
836
00:33:38,049 --> 00:33:40,177
and I'll give limiting
instructions to the jury.
837
00:33:40,418 --> 00:33:41,943
That woman is lying.
She has no life.
838
00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:43,112
She only wants to
be part of mine.
839
00:33:43,188 --> 00:33:44,212
Aberto, that's enough.
840
00:33:44,789 --> 00:33:46,780
Your client just came
dangerously close
841
00:33:46,858 --> 00:33:48,883
to admitting an affiliation
with Ms. Jobson.
842
00:33:49,728 --> 00:33:51,127
I apologize, Your Honor.
843
00:33:51,196 --> 00:33:53,096
This is very stressful
for him.
844
00:33:53,665 --> 00:33:54,996
I'm sure it is.
845
00:34:02,107 --> 00:34:03,199
I wrote articles
about Aberto,
846
00:34:03,275 --> 00:34:04,902
so I'd go to his
restaurant a lot.
847
00:34:05,544 --> 00:34:07,308
He definitely
knew my face.
848
00:34:07,779 --> 00:34:11,443
And after the trial began, did you
have any contact with the defendant?
849
00:34:12,017 --> 00:34:14,145
I was hailing a cab
near the courthouse,
850
00:34:14,686 --> 00:34:15,949
Broadway and Duane.
851
00:34:16,621 --> 00:34:17,918
Someone touched
my shoulder,
852
00:34:17,989 --> 00:34:20,924
I turned, and Aberto asked
if I wanted to share a cab.
853
00:34:21,660 --> 00:34:22,923
I said okay.
854
00:34:22,994 --> 00:34:25,793
You knew that you were
violating the court's orders?
855
00:34:26,831 --> 00:34:28,026
Yes, I did.
856
00:34:28,099 --> 00:34:29,999
Did the two of you
discuss the trial?
857
00:34:32,103 --> 00:34:33,332
He asked me,
858
00:34:34,105 --> 00:34:36,665
"Do you really think I
could've done such a thing?
859
00:34:36,741 --> 00:34:38,869
"You really think I
could have killed her?"
860
00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:40,307
And what was
your answer?
861
00:34:40,378 --> 00:34:41,641
I said no, I didn't.
862
00:34:42,247 --> 00:34:44,875
I told him I was writing
a book about the trial,
863
00:34:44,950 --> 00:34:46,543
that I wanted the people
to know the truth.
864
00:34:47,352 --> 00:34:49,150
And he wanted to help.
865
00:34:49,654 --> 00:34:52,919
He said he'd give me
exclusive details, photos...
866
00:34:53,692 --> 00:34:55,660
And after the book
was published,
867
00:34:55,727 --> 00:34:57,092
we'd do
a tour together.
868
00:34:58,029 --> 00:35:00,191
And did you get
your exclusive details?
869
00:35:01,967 --> 00:35:03,560
He called me
from a payphone.
870
00:35:04,002 --> 00:35:06,027
Did he ever tell
you what happened
871
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:08,129
the night Lisa Taylor
was murdered?
872
00:35:15,146 --> 00:35:16,705
He met Lisa
at the park.
873
00:35:17,582 --> 00:35:19,550
They held hands,
talked.
874
00:35:20,819 --> 00:35:21,945
He said
it was romantic,
875
00:35:22,020 --> 00:35:25,752
but that he had to leave and go
downtown to meet his business partner.
876
00:35:26,424 --> 00:35:29,485
He was so angry at himself
for leaving Lisa alone.
877
00:35:29,794 --> 00:35:31,159
He said he'd never
forgive himself
878
00:35:31,229 --> 00:35:32,458
for what happened to her.
879
00:35:33,698 --> 00:35:35,757
JACK: Did you ask him
why he told the police
880
00:35:35,834 --> 00:35:36,960
he never went
to the park?
881
00:35:37,702 --> 00:35:39,397
I didn't have to.
I knew.
882
00:35:39,904 --> 00:35:41,235
He was afraid
of what they might think,
883
00:35:41,306 --> 00:35:42,398
and he was right.
884
00:35:42,641 --> 00:35:45,508
And while he was helping
you with your book,
885
00:35:45,577 --> 00:35:48,410
did he ask for anything
from you in return?
886
00:35:50,482 --> 00:35:51,916
Well, he just said
it would be easier
887
00:35:51,983 --> 00:35:53,610
to get the book
published if...
888
00:35:54,953 --> 00:35:56,045
If?
889
00:35:59,024 --> 00:36:00,219
Ms. Jobson?
890
00:36:04,062 --> 00:36:05,552
If he didn't
go to prison.
891
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,061
Nothing further,
Your Honor.
892
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,308
Can you name anyone
who was present
893
00:36:17,375 --> 00:36:20,106
when you climbed into
this taxi with my client?
894
00:36:21,312 --> 00:36:22,473
No.
895
00:36:22,547 --> 00:36:24,845
And these calls
you claim Mr. Moretti made,
896
00:36:24,916 --> 00:36:27,351
they were all placed
from a public payphone
897
00:36:27,419 --> 00:36:28,580
anyone could
have accessed?
898
00:36:29,354 --> 00:36:30,583
I guess.
899
00:36:30,722 --> 00:36:34,283
Before this alleged
conversation in the taxi,
900
00:36:34,359 --> 00:36:37,056
had you and Mr. Moretti
ever spoken to each other?
901
00:36:38,196 --> 00:36:40,221
No, but as
I said before,
902
00:36:40,298 --> 00:36:42,232
he definitely
knew who I was.
903
00:36:42,434 --> 00:36:43,833
So you never
spoke with him
904
00:36:43,902 --> 00:36:45,666
when you went
to his restaurant?
905
00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:49,029
No.
906
00:36:49,107 --> 00:36:50,336
Did you try?
907
00:36:51,843 --> 00:36:52,867
Yes.
908
00:36:53,278 --> 00:36:54,541
How many times?
909
00:36:56,514 --> 00:36:59,211
I don't know.
Maybe half a dozen?
910
00:36:59,651 --> 00:37:00,743
Would it be fair to say
911
00:37:00,819 --> 00:37:03,982
that you wanted to speak with
him, but that he avoided you?
912
00:37:04,055 --> 00:37:05,045
Argumentative.
913
00:37:05,123 --> 00:37:06,318
I'll rephrase.
914
00:37:06,391 --> 00:37:07,790
When you found
that you were
915
00:37:07,859 --> 00:37:09,850
unable to speak
with Mr. Moretti
916
00:37:09,928 --> 00:37:12,192
despite numerous trips
to his restaurant,
917
00:37:12,764 --> 00:37:13,890
were you angry?
918
00:37:20,205 --> 00:37:21,400
Disappointed.
919
00:37:21,906 --> 00:37:24,170
DRESSLER: And when asked
during voirdire
920
00:37:24,242 --> 00:37:25,641
what you knew
about N“. Murat“,
921
00:37:25,710 --> 00:37:28,839
why didn't you say that you had
written articles about him?
922
00:37:29,681 --> 00:37:30,739
L---
923
00:37:30,815 --> 00:37:31,907
Did you lie
to the court
924
00:37:31,983 --> 00:37:33,451
in order to
get on the jury,
925
00:37:33,518 --> 00:37:35,111
and was your intent
926
00:37:35,854 --> 00:37:38,050
to exact revenge
upon Mr. Moretti
927
00:37:38,123 --> 00:37:39,989
for spurning
your advances?
928
00:37:40,258 --> 00:37:41,248
No!
929
00:37:41,326 --> 00:37:42,384
And when that
didn't work,
930
00:37:42,460 --> 00:37:43,450
did you invent
a new story
931
00:37:43,528 --> 00:37:45,018
about how he got
into a cab with you,
932
00:37:45,096 --> 00:37:46,427
how he called you
from a payphone...
933
00:37:46,498 --> 00:37:48,762
We did!
No, we spoke and...
934
00:37:49,901 --> 00:37:51,960
Aberto, tell them
what happened!
935
00:37:52,036 --> 00:37:55,472
Ms. Jobson, you are to address Ms.
Dressier,
936
00:37:55,540 --> 00:37:57,736
do you understand?
Not the defendant.
937
00:38:00,478 --> 00:38:01,946
Yes, Your Honor.
938
00:38:04,149 --> 00:38:06,208
He told me
he could trust me.
939
00:38:07,218 --> 00:38:09,653
More than that snake
of a business partner.
940
00:38:10,555 --> 00:38:11,920
More than Lisa, even.
941
00:38:11,990 --> 00:38:13,651
So after lying to the court,
942
00:38:13,725 --> 00:38:16,786
and seeking to profit from
my client's legal troubles,
943
00:38:16,861 --> 00:38:19,489
you want us now
to believe that this man,
944
00:38:19,831 --> 00:38:22,095
who you are now trying to
bury with your testimony,
945
00:38:22,167 --> 00:38:25,535
trusted you more than his
business partner and his lover?
946
00:38:26,237 --> 00:38:30,367
He... He said...
No, he said that!
947
00:38:32,644 --> 00:38:34,043
No further questions.
948
00:38:37,916 --> 00:38:38,940
JUDGE: Redirect?
949
00:38:39,017 --> 00:38:40,507
JACK: Nothing further,
Your Honor.
950
00:38:51,362 --> 00:38:52,796
Why didn't you
redirect?
951
00:38:52,864 --> 00:38:54,195
I trust your judgment,
952
00:38:54,265 --> 00:38:56,893
but Dressier went a long way
toward discrediting our witness.
953
00:38:56,968 --> 00:38:58,800
Jobson called him
a snake.
954
00:38:58,870 --> 00:38:59,962
What?
955
00:39:00,338 --> 00:39:03,706
Ms. Jobson called Moretti's
business partner a snake.
956
00:39:03,908 --> 00:39:06,673
That's who Moretti met with
after leaving the park.
957
00:39:07,312 --> 00:39:09,838
His name is Carter.
The police spoke to him.
958
00:39:09,914 --> 00:39:11,404
Uh, he confirmed
the meeting.
959
00:39:11,482 --> 00:39:13,917
He has a small interest in
Mr. Moretti's restaurant.
960
00:39:13,985 --> 00:39:15,783
So, why is he a snake?
961
00:39:17,822 --> 00:39:20,257
I told the detectives, Aberto
met me just before 11:00.
962
00:39:20,325 --> 00:39:22,225
He seemed fine,
a little distracted.
963
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,688
We had a few drinks, talked
business, then he left.
964
00:39:24,762 --> 00:39:26,059
Did you discuss
anything else?
965
00:39:26,130 --> 00:39:27,996
Something personal, maybe?
Nothing like that.
966
00:39:28,066 --> 00:39:30,865
Did you discuss any other
business besides the restaurant?
967
00:39:30,935 --> 00:39:32,164
Like what?
968
00:39:32,237 --> 00:39:35,104
You're aware this is an ongoing
criminal investigation.
969
00:39:38,509 --> 00:39:39,977
There is one thing.
970
00:39:40,411 --> 00:39:42,607
I may not have mentioned
it to the police.
971
00:39:42,947 --> 00:39:45,143
I was hoping to avoid
any negative publicity,
972
00:39:45,216 --> 00:39:47,116
but I'm happy to
talk about it now.
973
00:39:49,287 --> 00:39:51,255
Man one? That's the
best you can do?
974
00:39:51,322 --> 00:39:53,450
Beats murder two
and 25-to-life.
975
00:39:54,225 --> 00:39:57,024
Look, if you think Ms. Jobson is
gonna win this trial for you...
976
00:39:57,095 --> 00:39:58,790
No, that would
be Garret Carter.
977
00:39:59,497 --> 00:40:01,192
Mr. Carter was
your client's liaison
978
00:40:01,266 --> 00:40:02,995
to International
Foods Incorporated.
979
00:40:03,067 --> 00:40:06,037
They were launching a line of food
products in Mr. Moretti's name.
980
00:40:06,104 --> 00:40:08,539
The contract was potentially
worth millions of dollars,
981
00:40:08,606 --> 00:40:12,065
and it was contingent on your
client's show staying on the air.
982
00:40:12,143 --> 00:40:14,373
If Mr. Carter testifies,
the jury will hear
983
00:40:14,445 --> 00:40:16,209
how much your client
had at stake.
984
00:40:16,748 --> 00:40:19,581
Well, then why didn't Mr.
Carter come forward earlier?
985
00:40:19,651 --> 00:40:21,244
He didn't wanna
lose the contract.
986
00:40:21,319 --> 00:40:22,718
And what's changed?
987
00:40:22,787 --> 00:40:24,186
The project is proceeding.
988
00:40:24,255 --> 00:40:25,916
They're using
a different chef.
989
00:40:44,976 --> 00:40:47,570
I've been working in
restaurants since I was a kid.
990
00:40:50,281 --> 00:40:52,750
All I ever wanted
was to share my craft.
991
00:40:54,085 --> 00:40:56,076
Lisa told me, "There are
millions of people out there
992
00:40:56,154 --> 00:40:57,246
"who will love
what you do.
993
00:40:57,322 --> 00:40:59,620
"You have an obligation
to reach out to them."
994
00:40:59,691 --> 00:41:01,682
She pushed you
into doing the show?
995
00:41:03,695 --> 00:41:04,890
The show was
a dream of mine,
996
00:41:04,963 --> 00:41:08,024
but Lisa used it
to her advantage.
997
00:41:08,900 --> 00:41:11,733
She wasn't an artist, she
had no feel for cuisine.
998
00:41:11,803 --> 00:41:14,864
With me, she was drinking the best
wines, meeting famous people.
999
00:41:15,406 --> 00:41:16,896
You were also her lover.
1000
00:41:19,577 --> 00:41:22,342
She liked to say
the show was our baby.
1001
00:41:23,748 --> 00:41:26,718
It was something
we could share.
1002
00:41:28,219 --> 00:41:30,654
And when you found out
she was killing the baby?
1003
00:41:35,259 --> 00:41:36,454
We were in the park.
1004
00:41:39,197 --> 00:41:40,460
Her hands were cold.
1005
00:41:41,399 --> 00:41:42,798
She asked me
to warm them.
1006
00:41:44,035 --> 00:41:46,629
While I was massaging
her freezing hands,
1007
00:41:46,704 --> 00:41:50,106
she told me she was
canceling the show.
1008
00:41:52,210 --> 00:41:53,644
I thought
she was joking.
1009
00:41:56,748 --> 00:41:58,113
What happened then?
1010
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,246
She thought we would
keep seeing each other.
1011
00:42:08,026 --> 00:42:09,551
She tried to kiss me.
1012
00:42:11,896 --> 00:42:13,125
Don't you see?
1013
00:42:14,932 --> 00:42:16,263
It was repulsive.
1014
00:42:19,203 --> 00:42:21,399
Did you strike Mrs. Taylor?
1015
00:42:23,207 --> 00:42:24,470
You're not listening.
1016
00:42:26,210 --> 00:42:27,405
This is pointless!
1017
00:42:27,879 --> 00:42:31,645
Aberto, you need to tell
them exactly what happened.
1018
00:42:35,686 --> 00:42:37,916
I hit her.
She screamed.
1019
00:42:39,057 --> 00:42:41,151
I choked her
to keep her quiet.
1020
00:42:43,061 --> 00:42:45,996
When I took my hands
away, she wasn't moving.
1021
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,765
Don't you understand?
1022
00:42:54,038 --> 00:42:56,234
I was doing it to protect
everything I am.
1023
00:43:12,890 --> 00:43:15,484
DRESSLER: Now that Moretti's
making headlines again?
1024
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,426
Bet the network
reruns his show.
1025
00:43:17,962 --> 00:43:20,124
Too bad he won't be
around for season two.
1026
00:43:21,365 --> 00:43:23,857
How many stars do you think
the chef at Rikers has?
1027
00:43:23,935 --> 00:43:25,562
Fewer than three.
1028
00:43:26,137 --> 00:43:28,003
Another chance
for Moretti to shine.
