1
00:00:01,014 --> 00:00:02,743
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:02,816 --> 00:00:06,684
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:06,753 --> 00:00:08,584
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,655 --> 00:00:11,453
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,525 --> 00:00:12,856
These are their stories.
6
00:00:13,993 --> 00:00:17,259
Billy fell asleep about
an hour ago, on my bed.
7
00:00:17,330 --> 00:00:20,128
Did you...
I stacked pillows all around him.
8
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,260
He can't fall off
unless he levitates.
9
00:00:23,336 --> 00:00:25,736
And how was the big
girl's birthday dinner?
10
00:00:25,805 --> 00:00:30,435
She had lobster tails,
and chocolate mousse,
11
00:00:30,510 --> 00:00:32,944
and Jim even gave her
a sip of his wine.
12
00:00:33,013 --> 00:00:35,811
Grandma got mad.
I didn't like it anyway.
13
00:00:35,982 --> 00:00:39,816
Jim's parking the car.
When he gets back, we'll carry Billy upstairs.
14
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,183
I was having some tea.
15
00:00:42,254 --> 00:00:44,882
Do you have any coffee?
I like coffee.
16
00:00:44,957 --> 00:00:47,755
Police! Police!
Over here! What's going on?
17
00:00:47,826 --> 00:00:51,957
I don't see anything.
There's a police car.
18
00:00:58,038 --> 00:01:00,768
Darlene, wait here.
I'll be right back.
19
00:01:04,177 --> 00:01:05,769
I just looked over,
and he was on the ground.
20
00:01:05,845 --> 00:01:07,244
I knew something was wrong.
21
00:01:07,314 --> 00:01:09,577
I was across the street.
I think I saw somebody running.
22
00:01:11,817 --> 00:01:14,547
Man down, possible gunshot wound
to the head. Put a rush on the bus.
23
00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:17,680
Oh, God... Watch out, ma'am.
Do you know him?
24
00:01:18,357 --> 00:01:20,985
He's my husband.
25
00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:26,358
We were just around the corner.
Miss Flores flagged us down.
26
00:01:26,433 --> 00:01:28,560
I was coming back from the gym.
I live over there.
27
00:01:28,635 --> 00:01:32,264
I heard something like a pop.
I thought somebody threw a bottle.
28
00:01:32,339 --> 00:01:34,034
Then I saw him
lying on the sidewalk.
29
00:01:34,107 --> 00:01:35,505
His wallet was
still in his pocket.
30
00:01:35,574 --> 00:01:36,939
Did you see anybody near him?
31
00:01:37,176 --> 00:01:40,475
No. I was pretty far away, and
I wasn't wearing my glasses.
32
00:01:40,546 --> 00:01:42,741
How about a car driving by?
You see that?
33
00:01:42,815 --> 00:01:44,248
I don't know.
Okay, thanks.
34
00:01:44,316 --> 00:01:45,749
How about you?
Just give your number
35
00:01:45,818 --> 00:01:47,911
to the officer over
there, all right?
36
00:01:47,987 --> 00:01:51,013
I was walking my dog on the
other side of the street,
37
00:01:51,090 --> 00:01:52,751
and I looked up
when she shouted,
38
00:01:52,825 --> 00:01:56,922
and I think I saw someone
running around the corner.
39
00:01:57,163 --> 00:01:59,688
What's your name?
Dr. Paul Sackett.
40
00:01:59,766 --> 00:02:01,631
Did you try any first aid, Doc?
41
00:02:01,701 --> 00:02:03,099
I'm a podiatrist.
42
00:02:03,168 --> 00:02:04,931
About this person
you saw running away...
43
00:02:05,004 --> 00:02:06,972
It was really
just an impression.
44
00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:10,202
Well, tall?
Short? Black? White?
45
00:02:10,276 --> 00:02:12,870
I'm sorry. He might have
been wearing a dark jacket.
46
00:02:12,945 --> 00:02:14,810
He?
I'm presuming.
47
00:02:15,180 --> 00:02:17,375
Well, which way
did he or she go?
48
00:02:17,449 --> 00:02:21,476
Right down here...
I'm sorry. Dog poop.
49
00:02:22,421 --> 00:02:24,048
Don't mention it.
50
00:03:12,304 --> 00:03:15,330
They said there's
a bullet in his head.
51
00:03:16,575 --> 00:03:17,803
Did you catch anyone?
52
00:03:17,876 --> 00:03:19,935
We really don't know much
about what happened yet.
53
00:03:20,012 --> 00:03:22,003
Anything you can
tell us might help.
54
00:03:22,281 --> 00:03:27,183
He was just walking back from the
garage where we park our car.
55
00:03:28,286 --> 00:03:30,277
Like he does every time we go out.
56
00:03:30,355 --> 00:03:32,016
And you'd been out where?
57
00:03:32,358 --> 00:03:33,620
Oh, um...
58
00:03:34,059 --> 00:03:37,051
A birthday dinner
for my 8-year-old.
59
00:03:37,329 --> 00:03:40,389
Her grandmother treated
her to the Coach House.
60
00:03:40,966 --> 00:03:43,230
I have
to call the babysitter.
61
00:03:51,209 --> 00:03:53,871
I don't know how long
I'm going to be here.
62
00:03:53,945 --> 00:03:57,540
You know, maybe your mother should be here with you.
Or is she your husband's?
63
00:03:57,882 --> 00:03:58,974
Who?
64
00:03:59,050 --> 00:04:00,847
You said you were with your
daughter's grandmother?
65
00:04:00,918 --> 00:04:04,513
Oh, it's my first
husband's mother.
66
00:04:05,691 --> 00:04:08,524
I could call her and have
her pick up Darlene.
67
00:04:08,594 --> 00:04:10,391
Yeah, that'd be good.
68
00:04:11,363 --> 00:04:13,763
I can't believe this
is happening again.
69
00:04:13,832 --> 00:04:17,961
When my first husband died, they
brought him to this hospital.
70
00:04:18,035 --> 00:04:19,525
Mrs.
Shepard... Yes?
71
00:04:19,604 --> 00:04:23,540
Your husband will be all right.
He's still unconscious.
72
00:04:23,608 --> 00:04:26,543
Thank God.
Thank God.
73
00:04:28,112 --> 00:04:30,808
Doc, you know where
to send the bullet.
74
00:04:33,518 --> 00:04:36,453
Your head's tilted this way, your
brains are all over the sidewalk.
75
00:04:36,521 --> 00:04:38,922
Your head's tilted that way,
you just have a bad headache.
76
00:04:38,991 --> 00:04:41,186
Mr. Shepard had a good tilt?
Yes.
77
00:04:41,460 --> 00:04:44,587
The bullet went in behind
his ear at a shallow angle,
78
00:04:44,662 --> 00:04:48,257
hit the inside of his skull, and
skidded around to the other ear.
79
00:04:48,499 --> 00:04:50,467
Boy, that'll clear out
the wax real good.
80
00:04:50,535 --> 00:04:52,503
If you don't mind loud noises.
81
00:04:52,570 --> 00:04:54,697
The striations on the
damaged side of the bullet
82
00:04:54,772 --> 00:04:56,535
don't match anything
in our files.
83
00:04:56,607 --> 00:04:58,700
Yeah, except the inside of his skull.
84
00:04:58,776 --> 00:05:00,835
Which I can't mount
on my microscope.
85
00:05:00,912 --> 00:05:03,676
The good side matches
this bullet dead on.
86
00:05:03,748 --> 00:05:04,908
Where's this one from?
87
00:05:04,982 --> 00:05:07,746
The right brain of
the late Jeffrey Zabner,
88
00:05:07,819 --> 00:05:10,789
shot dead on East 96th
Street two years ago.
89
00:05:15,660 --> 00:05:19,426
Zabner was broke, but he owed $37,000
to a loan shark named Morelli,
90
00:05:19,497 --> 00:05:21,795
who'd just about given up
any hope of collecting.
91
00:05:21,866 --> 00:05:23,766
So he figured if he couldn't
get his money back,
92
00:05:23,835 --> 00:05:26,861
he'd at least turn Zabner
into a constructive example.
93
00:05:26,938 --> 00:05:29,236
Yeah, so it
wasn't a total loss.
94
00:05:29,307 --> 00:05:33,368
Unfortunately, Mr. Morelli made a point
of being in Miami when the guy got hit.
95
00:05:33,444 --> 00:05:34,706
He hired it done.
96
00:05:34,779 --> 00:05:36,144
Sure.
97
00:05:36,214 --> 00:05:38,647
But Morelli wasn't going
to tell me about it.
98
00:05:38,715 --> 00:05:41,479
My best chance was
with the victim's wife.
99
00:05:41,551 --> 00:05:42,883
She was there when it happened,
100
00:05:42,954 --> 00:05:45,081
but she swore she
didn't see a thing.
101
00:05:45,156 --> 00:05:46,851
She was afraid she'd be next.
102
00:05:46,924 --> 00:05:49,188
What I figured.
I offered her protection.
103
00:05:49,260 --> 00:05:51,091
I kept going back,
104
00:05:51,162 --> 00:05:53,824
but she was still playing
dumb when I got this job.
105
00:05:53,898 --> 00:05:57,129
So what kind of a job rates a
private office in the NYPD?
106
00:05:57,201 --> 00:06:00,034
Liaison between the community
relations officers
107
00:06:00,104 --> 00:06:01,969
and the deputy
chief of administration.
108
00:06:02,039 --> 00:06:06,441
Yeah, well, since you're obviously too
busy to pursue this old murder case,
109
00:06:06,510 --> 00:06:09,240
maybe you could at least tell
us where we could find Morelli?
110
00:06:09,312 --> 00:06:11,940
Try Hell. He's dead.
111
00:06:13,149 --> 00:06:15,209
But I got an address
for the victim's widow.
112
00:06:16,087 --> 00:06:19,579
I was petrified, but I
didn't see what happened.
113
00:06:20,391 --> 00:06:25,351
I went into this
store to get some aspirin.
114
00:06:25,863 --> 00:06:28,331
My husband, he was
waiting for me outside.
115
00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:29,525
Right here?
116
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,500
No, he walked down
the street a little ways.
117
00:06:33,169 --> 00:06:38,038
I heard the shot.
I came out, I saw him on the ground.
118
00:06:38,375 --> 00:06:39,774
He was already dead.
119
00:06:39,843 --> 00:06:41,674
Mrs. Zabner,
whoever shot your husband
120
00:06:41,745 --> 00:06:43,440
is still walking around,
shooting people.
121
00:06:43,513 --> 00:06:45,413
Anything you can
remember might help us.
122
00:06:45,482 --> 00:06:48,316
Don't you think I would have
helped then if I could?
123
00:06:48,386 --> 00:06:49,375
I didn't see.
124
00:06:49,453 --> 00:06:51,011
Well,
what did you see?
125
00:06:52,256 --> 00:06:56,818
It was hot. There was a couple on
some steps over there, drinking beer.
126
00:06:57,628 --> 00:07:01,927
Some kids went by with a
huge speaker blasting.
127
00:07:02,499 --> 00:07:07,368
There was a man.
He was middle-aged, kind of pudgy.
128
00:07:07,737 --> 00:07:09,227
He was walking a little dog.
129
00:07:10,941 --> 00:07:15,742
Would he be about 5' 8",
thinning brown hair, round face?
130
00:07:15,812 --> 00:07:21,752
I didn't see his face. I love animals.
I was looking at the dog.
131
00:07:22,820 --> 00:07:25,983
That's it.
That's the dog.
132
00:07:26,056 --> 00:07:27,318
Thank you.
133
00:07:31,328 --> 00:07:34,957
You better get some other dogs in
for a line-up, when you find it.
134
00:07:35,031 --> 00:07:36,828
Speaking of which,
how's that going?
135
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:39,869
Well, the dog-walker said his name was Dr.
Paul Sackett.
136
00:07:39,936 --> 00:07:42,461
There's no such person.
Surprise, surprise.
137
00:07:42,739 --> 00:07:46,231
Well, the dog we have nailed.
The guy, she has no idea.
138
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:49,307
He's pretty damn cool.
139
00:07:49,379 --> 00:07:52,076
Professional killer.
It's part of the job description.
140
00:07:52,149 --> 00:07:53,615
Yeah, if he's a hit man.
141
00:07:53,683 --> 00:07:56,151
Well, did you find anything to link
him personally to the victims?
142
00:07:56,219 --> 00:07:58,346
We're gonna go
talk to the new one.
143
00:07:58,421 --> 00:08:03,723
The son of a bitch.
The gun was in the dog poop bag.
144
00:08:06,663 --> 00:08:10,224
I don't know him.
Who is he?
145
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:11,494
Mr. Shepard,
you know him?
146
00:08:13,770 --> 00:08:16,830
No. Why?
147
00:08:16,906 --> 00:08:18,840
We think he may be
the man who shot you.
148
00:08:18,908 --> 00:08:21,398
We're gonna place a uniformed
officer at your door.
149
00:08:21,477 --> 00:08:22,671
What for?
150
00:08:22,745 --> 00:08:24,509
We think this man
is a hired killer.
151
00:08:24,581 --> 00:08:26,310
He shot somebody
else two years ago.
152
00:08:28,418 --> 00:08:31,012
Who would hire
somebody to kill Jimmy?
153
00:08:31,421 --> 00:08:32,979
Do you
have any ideas?
154
00:08:33,056 --> 00:08:35,081
No. It doesn't
make sense.
155
00:08:36,493 --> 00:08:39,894
Mrs. Shepard, you mind if we talk
to your husband alone for a minute?
156
00:08:41,765 --> 00:08:42,857
Why?
157
00:08:46,636 --> 00:08:48,000
It's okay.
158
00:09:04,287 --> 00:09:07,188
Do you have any ideas?
No.
159
00:09:07,957 --> 00:09:09,948
What do you do for a living, Mr.
Shepard?
160
00:09:10,026 --> 00:09:12,824
I have a company
that prints T-shirts.
161
00:09:12,896 --> 00:09:15,591
Rock group emblems
and comic strip characters.
162
00:09:15,664 --> 00:09:16,858
Licensed designs.
163
00:09:16,932 --> 00:09:19,230
You ever do any business
with loan sharks?
164
00:09:20,536 --> 00:09:22,561
I have a line of
credit at Citibank.
165
00:09:22,638 --> 00:09:24,902
We can't protect you
if you don't tell us.
166
00:09:27,009 --> 00:09:29,102
There must be some mistake.
167
00:09:30,947 --> 00:09:32,437
So, you think it was a mistake?
168
00:09:32,515 --> 00:09:34,415
Oh, sure.
The hit man's a moron.
169
00:09:35,151 --> 00:09:37,517
So we tear Shepard's life apart.
Tall order.
170
00:09:37,587 --> 00:09:39,555
Let's canvass his
neighborhood first.
171
00:09:39,622 --> 00:09:41,612
For someone who
knows his secret vice?
172
00:09:41,690 --> 00:09:45,319
No, for somebody who saw a
chubby white guy walking a dog.
173
00:09:46,195 --> 00:09:48,095
He shot the guy
down the street?
174
00:09:48,163 --> 00:09:51,621
Well, if he was in on Monday,
I'd remember. Slow night.
175
00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:52,826
Uh...
176
00:09:53,569 --> 00:09:55,867
He had this dog with him.
177
00:09:55,938 --> 00:09:58,634
Yeah. He tied the mutt
to a parking meter.
178
00:09:58,707 --> 00:10:00,675
I kept an eye on it.
Came in around 9:00.
179
00:10:00,943 --> 00:10:02,036
So, you talked to him?
180
00:10:02,112 --> 00:10:03,374
Yeah, he saw I sell cigars.
181
00:10:03,446 --> 00:10:06,313
He asked for an Avo Pyramid.
A little high end for me,
182
00:10:06,382 --> 00:10:08,246
but I had
a couple of Macanudos.
183
00:10:08,317 --> 00:10:10,911
He bought one, and I put him
in the smoking section.
184
00:10:10,986 --> 00:10:12,317
What else you talk about?
185
00:10:12,387 --> 00:10:15,447
Nothing. He had the Times.
He was doing a crossword.
186
00:10:15,524 --> 00:10:17,185
And he didn't
say anything else?
187
00:10:17,259 --> 00:10:20,626
He gave me his order.
Bourbon and lemon meringue pie.
188
00:10:22,364 --> 00:10:24,491
So I talked to some of
James Shepard's associates
189
00:10:24,566 --> 00:10:26,193
about his T-shirt company.
190
00:10:26,268 --> 00:10:28,327
No bad debts, no bad habits.
191
00:10:28,403 --> 00:10:29,870
Our shooter, on the other hand,
192
00:10:29,938 --> 00:10:32,270
drinks bourbon,
smokes Avo Pyramids,
193
00:10:32,341 --> 00:10:33,774
and eats lemon meringue pie.
194
00:10:33,842 --> 00:10:35,469
Well, you can buy
bourbon anywhere,
195
00:10:35,544 --> 00:10:38,069
and lemon meringue
pie is hard to trace.
196
00:10:38,147 --> 00:10:40,274
Yeah, but it's getting
hard to find good cigars
197
00:10:40,349 --> 00:10:43,682
ever since Demi Moore and the beautiful
people started smoking them.
198
00:10:43,752 --> 00:10:46,812
How many stores keep these
Avo Pyramids in stock?
199
00:10:46,889 --> 00:10:48,254
Two, three dozen.
200
00:10:48,724 --> 00:10:49,713
Don't inhale.
201
00:10:50,926 --> 00:10:53,224
Two or three dozen.
Like that's nothing.
202
00:10:53,295 --> 00:10:55,229
You want to try bars
and bakeries instead?
203
00:10:55,297 --> 00:10:58,232
I want to try a place
that gives foot massages.
204
00:10:58,300 --> 00:11:00,291
Police.
205
00:11:01,603 --> 00:11:05,231
This guy. Avo Pyramids.
He has a dog.
206
00:11:06,274 --> 00:11:09,403
Yeah.
Howard something.
207
00:11:09,511 --> 00:11:11,570
Comes by every day or two.
208
00:11:12,114 --> 00:11:13,103
Great.
209
00:11:13,515 --> 00:11:16,643
You know, before I quit,
I used to smoke the real thing.
210
00:11:16,718 --> 00:11:20,711
Montecristos, Ramon Allones.
Of course, they're illegal.
211
00:11:21,356 --> 00:11:23,290
There's some pre-embargo
Havanas still around.
212
00:11:23,358 --> 00:11:25,656
Been in this country
since before 1962.
213
00:11:25,727 --> 00:11:28,662
Yeah. Course now they're
45 bucks a pop.
214
00:11:29,997 --> 00:11:33,558
You know, the CIA once tried to
kill Castro with a poisoned cigar.
215
00:11:33,634 --> 00:11:36,660
No, I know. In fact, they also
found out he liked to scuba dive.
216
00:11:36,737 --> 00:11:38,671
They were gonna try
an exploding seashell.
217
00:11:39,942 --> 00:11:41,876
How'd you like to
catch that case?
218
00:11:41,944 --> 00:11:44,606
Hey, a guy goes boom, you gotta
look at who his enemies are.
219
00:11:44,980 --> 00:11:47,676
And those Kennedys
seem like so much fun.
220
00:11:47,749 --> 00:11:51,116
Hey... Wait, wait.
Let's see where he goes.
221
00:11:53,288 --> 00:11:55,188
This is quiet.
222
00:11:55,257 --> 00:11:56,484
Except for them.
223
00:11:58,893 --> 00:12:00,827
Well, when he gets past
them, we can take him.
224
00:12:00,895 --> 00:12:01,987
Take him on what?
225
00:12:02,063 --> 00:12:03,997
His dog was spotted at two
different crime scenes?
226
00:12:05,233 --> 00:12:08,725
Well, he's your
kind of guy, Rey.
227
00:12:11,405 --> 00:12:13,874
Well, at least we know
where to find him.
228
00:12:16,845 --> 00:12:18,710
He goes by the name
of Howard Philips.
229
00:12:18,780 --> 00:12:20,907
We pulled his prints
off a garbage bag.
230
00:12:21,049 --> 00:12:22,914
He did a term for
assault 10 years ago
231
00:12:22,985 --> 00:12:24,451
under the name Howard Jackson.
232
00:12:24,518 --> 00:12:26,281
Anything on his phone tap?
233
00:12:26,354 --> 00:12:29,517
His wife making arrangements for
their daughter's ballet lessons.
234
00:12:29,590 --> 00:12:31,057
So Mom takes care of the kids,
235
00:12:31,125 --> 00:12:33,116
and Dad goes off to
work and kills people.
236
00:12:33,361 --> 00:12:35,158
He keeps an office in
the Graybar Building.
237
00:12:35,229 --> 00:12:37,527
Listed on the lease as
a business consultant.
238
00:12:37,865 --> 00:12:39,457
Well, work it the other way.
239
00:12:39,533 --> 00:12:42,001
Who had a motive to hire
him to kill Shepard?
240
00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:43,798
Well, Shepard keeps
coming up clean.
241
00:12:43,871 --> 00:12:45,464
If you want to sell
T-shirts at a rock concert,
242
00:12:45,540 --> 00:12:47,337
he's the guy you want
to have print them up.
243
00:12:47,409 --> 00:12:50,173
So his business is fine.
How's his marriage?
244
00:12:51,479 --> 00:12:53,674
I told your people that night.
245
00:12:53,748 --> 00:12:55,739
I didn't see
anybody suspicious,
246
00:12:55,816 --> 00:12:57,647
but I wasn't looking out the window.
247
00:12:57,718 --> 00:12:59,515
You were taking care of
the Shepards' baby?
248
00:12:59,587 --> 00:13:03,887
I do it once in a while.
Billy's a sweet little boy.
249
00:13:04,458 --> 00:13:06,983
You know, when my kids were babies,
I used to walk around with them
250
00:13:07,061 --> 00:13:10,030
to put them to sleep.
Maybe you walked by the window with Billy?
251
00:13:10,331 --> 00:13:12,492
Oh, I was too tired
for walking.
252
00:13:12,767 --> 00:13:14,462
They told me they'd be back at 9:00,
253
00:13:14,535 --> 00:13:16,162
but the restaurant was crowded.
254
00:13:16,237 --> 00:13:19,570
It was after 10:00.
I'm not a night person.
255
00:13:20,341 --> 00:13:24,038
Did Mrs. Shepard say anything
to you when she came in?
256
00:13:24,111 --> 00:13:27,239
I mean, she was
pretty upset when we spoke to her.
257
00:13:27,315 --> 00:13:31,547
She was only worried that I'd stacked
enough pillows around the baby.
258
00:13:32,053 --> 00:13:34,214
And you two get along?
259
00:13:34,288 --> 00:13:37,815
She and Jim moved
in five years ago.
260
00:13:38,159 --> 00:13:40,627
I was a widow.
She'd been a widow.
261
00:13:40,695 --> 00:13:42,959
We've always talked.
262
00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:44,360
What happened to
her first husband?
263
00:13:44,798 --> 00:13:48,632
He had an accident.
Rock climbing in Central Park.
264
00:13:48,702 --> 00:13:53,538
You believe it?
That poor girl, left alone with Darlene.
265
00:13:53,607 --> 00:13:56,974
Robin and her current husband,
how do they get along?
266
00:13:57,812 --> 00:13:58,972
Fine.
267
00:13:59,046 --> 00:14:01,412
And you're close enough
so you'd know otherwise?
268
00:14:01,482 --> 00:14:03,143
Yes, I would.
269
00:14:03,851 --> 00:14:07,218
He's planning to adopt
Darlene, for goodness' sake.
270
00:14:07,288 --> 00:14:09,051
They are very happy.
271
00:14:09,957 --> 00:14:12,356
Well, zero minus one leaves us,
272
00:14:12,425 --> 00:14:14,188
I believe, with less than zero.
273
00:14:14,260 --> 00:14:15,693
Is that possible?
I don't know, Lennie.
274
00:14:15,762 --> 00:14:18,458
She said the Shepards came home
from the restaurant an hour late.
275
00:14:18,531 --> 00:14:20,931
Yeah? So the hit man
had time on his hands.
276
00:14:21,001 --> 00:14:22,469
That's why he went
looking for cigars
277
00:14:22,536 --> 00:14:24,163
and a place to
do his crossword.
278
00:14:24,238 --> 00:14:25,967
My kind of hit man.
279
00:14:27,274 --> 00:14:30,368
Right. The bartender
had to watch his dog.
280
00:14:30,444 --> 00:14:33,880
He was in the smoking section.
He couldn't see the street.
281
00:14:34,482 --> 00:14:37,110
So how did he know
exactly when Jim Shepard
282
00:14:37,184 --> 00:14:39,981
was gonna be walking
home from the garage?
283
00:14:42,455 --> 00:14:45,049
There's a pay phone at the restaurant
where the family had dinner.
284
00:14:45,125 --> 00:14:46,990
We pulled the LUDs
and found two calls
285
00:14:47,060 --> 00:14:49,585
to a cell phone number
owned by a dummy company.
286
00:14:49,662 --> 00:14:52,927
Untraceable. Mmm.
The kind of thing a hit man would use.
287
00:14:52,999 --> 00:14:56,060
One call was at 9:15, when
they were getting dessert.
288
00:14:56,137 --> 00:14:59,106
The other was at 9:45, right
when they were leaving.
289
00:14:59,173 --> 00:15:03,166
"Hello, Mr. Hit Man. Finish your pie.
Jim Shepard's on the way."
290
00:15:03,644 --> 00:15:05,543
Who was at this dinner?
291
00:15:05,612 --> 00:15:08,103
Darlene, who's eight, the wife,
292
00:15:08,181 --> 00:15:11,844
and her former mother-in-law,
Estelle Muller.
293
00:15:12,519 --> 00:15:14,783
Split up and talk to
the ladies separately,
294
00:15:14,854 --> 00:15:17,618
so they can't get
their stories straight.
295
00:15:21,628 --> 00:15:25,029
We left the restaurant
together. I took a cab.
296
00:15:25,098 --> 00:15:27,533
Darlene and Robin
and Jim got in his car.
297
00:15:28,302 --> 00:15:30,736
And what did you
talk about at dinner?
298
00:15:31,906 --> 00:15:35,238
I believe there was some
discussion of Donkey Kong.
299
00:15:36,576 --> 00:15:39,875
Must be hard seeing your granddaughter
without your son being around.
300
00:15:41,214 --> 00:15:44,149
Everything's hard without
my son being there.
301
00:15:44,617 --> 00:15:48,576
Until my husband died, I was an
assistant in his law office.
302
00:15:48,655 --> 00:15:51,453
Rick worked there while
he went to law school.
303
00:15:51,524 --> 00:15:56,052
He was fascinated by criminal law.
He had a very quick mind.
304
00:15:56,696 --> 00:16:00,462
This has to be a mistake.
Nobody has any reason to hurt Jim.
305
00:16:00,533 --> 00:16:02,558
Not even you?
306
00:16:02,635 --> 00:16:05,570
I love Jimmy, and he loves me.
307
00:16:06,272 --> 00:16:07,739
Well, somebody
doesn't love him.
308
00:16:07,807 --> 00:16:10,776
And we have evidence that says that
somebody was with him that night
309
00:16:10,844 --> 00:16:12,471
in the restaurant
before he was shot.
310
00:16:12,545 --> 00:16:16,481
That'd be you, your daughter,
and your former mother-in-law.
311
00:16:20,053 --> 00:16:21,111
What?
312
00:16:21,187 --> 00:16:23,747
It can't
be anything.
313
00:16:23,823 --> 00:16:25,051
Tell me anyway.
314
00:16:28,127 --> 00:16:33,293
After Rick died, Estelle
said some crazy things.
315
00:16:33,366 --> 00:16:34,890
What kind of crazy things?
316
00:16:34,968 --> 00:16:37,994
She blamed Jim
for Rick's death.
317
00:16:38,071 --> 00:16:39,129
Why?
318
00:16:44,043 --> 00:16:47,069
They were together
when it happened.
319
00:16:47,814 --> 00:16:49,805
How do you get along
with Jim Shepard?
320
00:16:50,116 --> 00:16:51,105
All right.
321
00:16:51,451 --> 00:16:53,384
And Robin?
322
00:16:53,452 --> 00:16:55,044
They don't fight
in front of me.
323
00:16:55,654 --> 00:16:57,349
In front of Darlene?
324
00:16:57,456 --> 00:17:00,254
She's never said anything,
and we're close.
325
00:17:01,059 --> 00:17:03,960
For the last five years, I've tried
to fill some of the role in her life
326
00:17:04,029 --> 00:17:05,520
that Rick would've played.
327
00:17:05,598 --> 00:17:07,361
Your son died five years ago?
328
00:17:07,567 --> 00:17:08,556
That's right.
329
00:17:09,602 --> 00:17:13,163
The Shepards' neighbor said
they moved in five years ago?
330
00:17:13,773 --> 00:17:16,833
They married seven months
after my son died.
331
00:17:17,944 --> 00:17:22,004
They were playing softball, and
on the way out of the park,
332
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,016
they were fooling around on some
steep rocks, and Rick fell.
333
00:17:26,084 --> 00:17:27,381
So, why was that Jim's fault?
334
00:17:27,452 --> 00:17:30,444
It never made any sense, but
Estelle kept harping on it,
335
00:17:30,522 --> 00:17:33,320
until I finally said I didn't
want to hear it anymore.
336
00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:37,189
Or else you would've cut her off
from her only grandchild, huh?
337
00:17:38,565 --> 00:17:41,932
Did you make a phone
call when you left the restaurant?
338
00:17:42,035 --> 00:17:43,059
No.
339
00:17:43,670 --> 00:17:46,161
Did Estelle?
340
00:17:46,239 --> 00:17:47,432
I didn't see her.
341
00:17:47,506 --> 00:17:49,440
Well, who left
the restaurant first?
342
00:17:49,508 --> 00:17:51,373
We walked out together.
343
00:17:51,443 --> 00:17:54,344
But then Estelle went back in.
344
00:17:54,413 --> 00:17:55,971
She said she forgot something.
345
00:17:56,815 --> 00:17:59,306
The file on Rick Muller's
death five years ago.
346
00:17:59,384 --> 00:18:00,510
It was investigated?
347
00:18:00,586 --> 00:18:01,644
Yeah, up to a point.
348
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,450
Jim Shepard came running out of
some woods, screaming for help.
349
00:18:04,523 --> 00:18:07,014
A scooter officer found
Muller lying on a rock
350
00:18:07,092 --> 00:18:08,753
at the bottom of a steep drop.
351
00:18:09,262 --> 00:18:11,423
Shepard was drunk.
He said Muller was, too.
352
00:18:11,497 --> 00:18:14,488
Estelle Muller came into the precinct
and said it wasn't possible.
353
00:18:14,566 --> 00:18:15,726
Her son was afraid of heights.
354
00:18:15,801 --> 00:18:17,291
There's no way
he'd climb a big rock.
355
00:18:17,369 --> 00:18:19,599
Well, unless he'd
had eight or 10 beers.
356
00:18:19,671 --> 00:18:22,401
Which was the attitude the
investigating officer took.
357
00:18:22,474 --> 00:18:23,498
Accidental death.
358
00:18:23,575 --> 00:18:25,566
Even after the widow
married Jim Shepard?
359
00:18:25,644 --> 00:18:27,703
Body was already in the ground.
Case was closed.
360
00:18:27,779 --> 00:18:29,371
And Estelle Muller's
been walking around,
361
00:18:29,448 --> 00:18:31,382
nursing the mother
of all grudges.
362
00:18:31,450 --> 00:18:33,645
But where does
she find a hit man?
363
00:18:33,719 --> 00:18:35,277
Her husband was
a criminal lawyer.
364
00:18:35,354 --> 00:18:37,151
She used to work in his office.
365
00:18:37,222 --> 00:18:40,055
Criminal lawyers know
a lot of criminals.
366
00:18:41,693 --> 00:18:43,888
He was a pretty good criminal lawyer.
I remember him.
367
00:18:43,962 --> 00:18:47,056
And too bad he's dead.
His widow might need him.
368
00:18:47,466 --> 00:18:50,629
I asked around. Here's a list of
all his clients anybody remembers.
369
00:18:50,702 --> 00:18:54,103
Vincent Blocker, Steven
Sandler, Diane Juliar...
370
00:18:54,773 --> 00:18:57,867
Plus I ran his name through Westlaw,
looking for criminal appeals.
371
00:18:57,943 --> 00:19:00,138
His name came up
on a dozen briefs.
372
00:19:00,212 --> 00:19:05,980
People v. Sloan, People v.
O'Rourke... People v. Morelli.
373
00:19:06,051 --> 00:19:09,884
Morelli? The loan shark who used the
same hit man we're looking at here?
374
00:19:09,954 --> 00:19:11,148
None other.
375
00:19:11,222 --> 00:19:14,681
He and an associate named
Bronson were convicted of extortion.
376
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,955
Mrs. Muller's husband
won their appeal.
377
00:19:17,029 --> 00:19:18,997
They must've been grateful.
Hmm.
378
00:19:19,331 --> 00:19:21,925
Yeah, the guy got me and Morelli off.
That means we were acquitted.
379
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,230
As in innocent.
As in take a hike.
380
00:19:24,670 --> 00:19:28,003
You think we give a crap about
some old extortion beef, Bronson?
381
00:19:28,073 --> 00:19:30,473
You just came by to play
oldies on the jukebox?
382
00:19:30,542 --> 00:19:32,703
No, we're looking at
an attempted murder.
383
00:19:32,778 --> 00:19:34,939
Guy named Jim Shepard,
gunned down on the street.
384
00:19:35,013 --> 00:19:36,604
Never heard of him,
and I don't own a gun.
385
00:19:36,681 --> 00:19:38,740
You want to search me?
Don't tickle.
386
00:19:39,083 --> 00:19:41,813
We know you didn't pull
the trigger, Bronson,
387
00:19:41,886 --> 00:19:43,547
but we also know who did.
388
00:19:43,621 --> 00:19:45,748
Therefore you're
hassling me. Why?
389
00:19:45,823 --> 00:19:50,158
The shooter's a pro, but you set up
the job for the interested party.
390
00:19:50,228 --> 00:19:52,287
You're dreaming.
Your late pal Morelli
391
00:19:52,364 --> 00:19:54,559
used this hit man to take
out an overdue customer.
392
00:19:54,633 --> 00:19:56,362
You would've known about that.
Uh-huh.
393
00:19:56,435 --> 00:19:58,426
Meanwhile, you'd become
acquainted with a lawyer
394
00:19:58,503 --> 00:20:00,437
named Muller and
his wife, Estelle.
395
00:20:00,505 --> 00:20:02,472
Her, I remember.
She worked in the office.
396
00:20:02,540 --> 00:20:04,132
Well, see?
397
00:20:04,208 --> 00:20:05,800
Now we're starting
to get someplace.
398
00:20:05,876 --> 00:20:09,471
So when she wanted to hire
a hit man, she called you.
399
00:20:09,547 --> 00:20:11,708
You set her up with
a guy you knew about.
400
00:20:11,782 --> 00:20:13,511
Now there you lost me again.
401
00:20:13,584 --> 00:20:16,178
Hey, you don't think we're
gonna find a trace of this
402
00:20:16,253 --> 00:20:19,189
when we rip through your phone
records, your money records,
403
00:20:19,257 --> 00:20:22,283
and every little piece
of your miserable life?
404
00:20:22,361 --> 00:20:24,158
Then you're in for
attempted murder.
405
00:20:25,964 --> 00:20:27,295
Unless?
406
00:20:27,599 --> 00:20:30,431
Did you set the lady
up with the shooter?
407
00:20:32,169 --> 00:20:35,935
Yeah. And she won't pay the back
half 'cause the job wasn't done,
408
00:20:36,006 --> 00:20:39,100
and the shooter is getting very
unpleasant on the subject.
409
00:20:39,176 --> 00:20:41,974
Well, then we're
gonna make everybody happy.
410
00:20:42,046 --> 00:20:45,140
You just call the lady back, and
tell her you found a new man
411
00:20:45,216 --> 00:20:47,343
who's gonna finish the job.
412
00:20:52,491 --> 00:20:55,722
He's sitting in that hospital
room, drinking milkshakes.
413
00:20:55,794 --> 00:20:59,593
I can take care of that.
No more frozen treats.
414
00:20:59,663 --> 00:21:01,631
But there's a policeman
outside the door.
415
00:21:01,699 --> 00:21:03,724
That's why the other man
wouldn't try again.
416
00:21:03,801 --> 00:21:06,395
Hey, you know how bored
that cop's gotta be by now?
417
00:21:06,470 --> 00:21:08,802
Won't be that hard
to distract him.
418
00:21:08,873 --> 00:21:11,535
You're not afraid of policemen?
419
00:21:11,609 --> 00:21:12,701
They're underpaid.
420
00:21:12,777 --> 00:21:15,211
And, as a group,
they're stupid.
421
00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:17,304
What are you going to do?
422
00:21:17,848 --> 00:21:20,783
I don't
ask you your secrets, do I?
423
00:21:20,851 --> 00:21:22,375
He has a way with mature women.
424
00:21:24,021 --> 00:21:26,114
It's a gift, Detective.
425
00:21:26,190 --> 00:21:27,748
I am a little
bit curious, though.
426
00:21:28,225 --> 00:21:31,058
I mean, what's your
beef with this guy?
427
00:21:31,962 --> 00:21:35,261
I shouldn't think a man in your
position would want to be too curious.
428
00:21:35,332 --> 00:21:38,893
Hey, it's your nickel, lady.
I'm as curious as you want.
429
00:21:39,970 --> 00:21:43,064
Here's $4,000.
430
00:21:43,140 --> 00:21:45,005
So when do I get the rest?
431
00:21:45,976 --> 00:21:47,705
When Jim Shepard is dead.
432
00:21:47,878 --> 00:21:48,867
That's it!
433
00:21:50,247 --> 00:21:52,146
Just one more
thing, Mrs. Muller.
434
00:21:52,215 --> 00:21:53,580
How did you know my name?
435
00:21:53,650 --> 00:21:57,087
You're under arrest for the
attempted murder of James Shepard.
436
00:21:57,154 --> 00:21:59,782
You have the right
to remain silent.
437
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,990
Excuse me,
Dr. Sackett.
438
00:22:05,062 --> 00:22:08,088
Howard Philips, you're under arrest for
the attempted murder of James Shepard.
439
00:22:08,165 --> 00:22:09,393
You have the right
to remain silent.
440
00:22:09,467 --> 00:22:10,832
What are you going
to do with my dog?
441
00:22:11,368 --> 00:22:13,029
Take her inside.
My wife's there.
442
00:22:13,103 --> 00:22:15,298
Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.
443
00:22:15,372 --> 00:22:16,771
Come on.
My kid'll go nuts.
444
00:22:16,841 --> 00:22:18,102
You have
the right to an attorney.
445
00:22:18,174 --> 00:22:21,473
If you cannot afford one,
one will appointed to you.
446
00:22:25,181 --> 00:22:28,708
"Case numbers 96147 and 96148,
447
00:22:28,785 --> 00:22:31,254
"People v. Howard Philips
and People v. Estelle Muller.
448
00:22:31,322 --> 00:22:33,688
"Charges are Conspiracy to Commit
Murder in the First Degree,
449
00:22:33,757 --> 00:22:36,191
"Attempted Murder, and Assault
in the First Degree."
450
00:22:36,260 --> 00:22:37,488
Pleas?
451
00:22:39,363 --> 00:22:41,297
Not guilty.
Not guilty.
452
00:22:41,365 --> 00:22:44,061
This is a case of attempted
murder for hire, Your Honor.
453
00:22:44,134 --> 00:22:47,569
Defendant Muller hired defendant
Philips, a professional hit man.
454
00:22:47,637 --> 00:22:51,903
Professional, eh? Well, Mrs.
Muller can use her refund to post bond.
455
00:22:51,975 --> 00:22:54,034
Which would give her an
opportunity to finish the job.
456
00:22:54,110 --> 00:22:56,374
The People request both
defendants held without bail.
457
00:22:56,446 --> 00:22:59,347
My client's roots are in New York.
There's no flight risk.
458
00:22:59,415 --> 00:23:03,682
I think that's what the People are afraid of.
Any argument, Mr. Kaye?
459
00:23:03,754 --> 00:23:06,279
My client doesn't
oppose remand.
460
00:23:06,357 --> 00:23:07,847
Well, neither do I.
461
00:23:07,925 --> 00:23:09,825
So ordered. Next.
462
00:23:12,328 --> 00:23:13,659
Your client likes Rikers?
463
00:23:13,730 --> 00:23:16,995
Short-term only. Clear your
schedule for 9:00 a.m. Tomorrow.
464
00:23:17,066 --> 00:23:19,626
You're getting an invitation from the U.
S. Attorney.
465
00:23:24,007 --> 00:23:26,635
You get the hit man, we get
to keep Granny Muller?
466
00:23:26,709 --> 00:23:29,576
She bought the hit.
That's the one you want to get, isn't it?
467
00:23:29,646 --> 00:23:31,614
You're just thinking
of our well-being.
468
00:23:31,681 --> 00:23:34,617
Mr. Philips has done jobs
for two major crime families.
469
00:23:34,685 --> 00:23:36,346
He can do us a lot of good.
470
00:23:36,420 --> 00:23:37,682
And himself.
471
00:23:37,755 --> 00:23:41,155
Where are you off to, Mr.
Philips? Hawaii? Florida?
472
00:23:41,224 --> 00:23:43,624
He serves an indeterminate
term at a federal penitentiary
473
00:23:43,693 --> 00:23:44,682
under a new name.
474
00:23:44,794 --> 00:23:48,025
And before he goes, he
testifies against Mrs. Muller.
475
00:23:48,097 --> 00:23:50,190
You are getting your little
old lady off the street,
476
00:23:50,266 --> 00:23:52,700
and I'm getting a witness
against some real bad guys.
477
00:23:52,769 --> 00:23:54,737
I don't see the problem.
478
00:24:02,211 --> 00:24:03,610
James Shepard.
479
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:04,806
What can I say?
480
00:24:04,881 --> 00:24:07,145
I guess the guy's
number wasn't up.
481
00:24:07,216 --> 00:24:09,275
It was your intention
to kill him?
482
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,518
That's what I do.
483
00:24:11,588 --> 00:24:12,646
You and your dog.
484
00:24:15,191 --> 00:24:18,024
Pumpkin takes care of her
business, I take care of mine.
485
00:24:18,094 --> 00:24:19,857
And Estelle Muller hired you?
486
00:24:19,929 --> 00:24:20,918
Yep.
487
00:24:21,965 --> 00:24:24,126
Takes all kinds, doesn't it?
488
00:24:24,701 --> 00:24:28,068
Considering your client's age
and the cost of a trial,
489
00:24:28,538 --> 00:24:32,269
we'll drop the conspiracy and assault
if she pleads to attempted murder.
490
00:24:32,774 --> 00:24:35,800
Well, that's the A felony.
Where's the break?
491
00:24:35,877 --> 00:24:38,038
We've got the conversation
with Detective Briscoe
492
00:24:38,113 --> 00:24:40,708
and the testimony of
the original hit man.
493
00:24:40,783 --> 00:24:43,251
We don't have to
give you a break.
494
00:24:49,058 --> 00:24:51,356
I'll plead to whatever they want.
Estelle...
495
00:24:51,427 --> 00:24:54,988
What does it matter?
On one condition.
496
00:24:55,398 --> 00:24:58,959
That you prosecute Jim Shepard
for the murder of my son.
497
00:24:59,968 --> 00:25:01,902
Your son's death
was ruled an accident.
498
00:25:01,970 --> 00:25:03,631
My son wouldn't
climb that rock.
499
00:25:03,705 --> 00:25:04,729
He was drunk.
500
00:25:04,806 --> 00:25:08,003
He couldn't get that drunk.
It was a lie.
501
00:25:08,310 --> 00:25:09,607
The police
believed it.
502
00:25:09,678 --> 00:25:12,204
Sure. Who was I?
503
00:25:12,281 --> 00:25:14,875
Just the mother,
deranged with grief.
504
00:25:14,951 --> 00:25:16,509
Maybe you were.
505
00:25:17,620 --> 00:25:19,986
There was something going
on between Robin and Jim.
506
00:25:20,056 --> 00:25:22,752
I saw the looks between them, the
way they touched each other.
507
00:25:22,825 --> 00:25:24,690
They killed my son.
508
00:25:24,761 --> 00:25:28,628
If you're so sure, why did you
wait until now to do something?
509
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,892
Jim Shepard was about to
adopt my son's child.
510
00:25:36,805 --> 00:25:38,568
I couldn't bear it.
511
00:25:39,608 --> 00:25:41,599
Blood is thicker.
Yeah.
512
00:25:42,411 --> 00:25:45,404
Maybe Estelle Muller's
blood is a little too thick
513
00:25:45,481 --> 00:25:47,642
for the arteries
going to her brain.
514
00:25:48,518 --> 00:25:50,918
She's willing to plead.
Go figure that one out.
515
00:25:50,987 --> 00:25:53,921
If we follow her orders
about whom to prosecute.
516
00:25:53,989 --> 00:25:58,153
Good luck to her.
I have trouble making you follow mine.
517
00:25:58,994 --> 00:26:02,122
I'm tempted, Adam.
She's hiring hit men.
518
00:26:03,131 --> 00:26:05,395
Offering to plead
to whatever I want.
519
00:26:05,467 --> 00:26:06,934
She's very sure about this.
520
00:26:07,002 --> 00:26:09,994
Didn't the police look
into it five years ago?
521
00:26:10,072 --> 00:26:13,508
Sort of. I called the M.E.
For Rick Muller's autopsy report.
522
00:26:13,575 --> 00:26:15,475
This is what they sent.
523
00:26:21,416 --> 00:26:22,974
No autopsy.
524
00:26:23,051 --> 00:26:24,382
It was a busy weekend.
525
00:26:25,053 --> 00:26:27,283
They did a physical
exam, ran some labs,
526
00:26:27,355 --> 00:26:28,788
confirmed alcohol in the blood.
527
00:26:29,157 --> 00:26:32,251
They didn't know the widow
had plans to remarry.
528
00:26:37,666 --> 00:26:40,032
You're taking her seriously?
529
00:26:40,168 --> 00:26:43,399
She's crazy. She's out
hiring murderers.
530
00:26:43,939 --> 00:26:45,702
You did remarry pretty quickly.
531
00:26:45,774 --> 00:26:48,298
Do you know what
I was going through?
532
00:26:48,810 --> 00:26:52,302
My husband was dead,
and I had a baby.
533
00:26:56,118 --> 00:27:00,077
Jim would come over after Darlene
was asleep and bring tea
534
00:27:00,155 --> 00:27:03,318
and cookies, and we
would sit and talk.
535
00:27:04,693 --> 00:27:07,059
We helped each
other through it.
536
00:27:07,129 --> 00:27:09,859
Jim needed help?
537
00:27:09,931 --> 00:27:11,762
He blamed himself
for Rick's death.
538
00:27:12,901 --> 00:27:14,891
Not the way Estelle did.
539
00:27:15,836 --> 00:27:19,067
But he was the one that
brought the beer to the game,
540
00:27:19,140 --> 00:27:22,201
and he's the one that
wanted to climb the rock.
541
00:27:23,678 --> 00:27:27,307
And there'd been no romance
between the two of you before?
542
00:27:32,454 --> 00:27:37,482
I never cheated on Rick,
and I never wanted to.
543
00:27:40,996 --> 00:27:43,725
And Jim had plenty
of other fish to fry.
544
00:27:44,231 --> 00:27:45,255
How do you know?
545
00:27:45,332 --> 00:27:47,391
We used the same Laundromat.
546
00:27:47,468 --> 00:27:52,531
He would fold sheets and
tell me some amazing things
547
00:27:52,606 --> 00:27:56,907
women would do to get straight, single
guys like him and his roommate.
548
00:27:57,379 --> 00:27:59,643
Believe me, he didn't need me.
549
00:28:00,315 --> 00:28:03,580
Jimmy had the best possible quality
in a roommate. He traveled a lot.
550
00:28:03,652 --> 00:28:05,677
He was a T-shirt
sales rep then.
551
00:28:05,754 --> 00:28:06,982
You had the place to yourself?
552
00:28:07,055 --> 00:28:08,579
Yeah, a couple of days a week.
553
00:28:08,657 --> 00:28:11,181
It was great for
entertaining the ladies.
554
00:28:11,258 --> 00:28:14,557
I understand you and Shepard
were pretty big in that area.
555
00:28:14,628 --> 00:28:15,754
We haven't met, have we?
556
00:28:15,830 --> 00:28:16,888
No.
557
00:28:16,964 --> 00:28:18,591
Nothing worse than running
into someone you used to bonk
558
00:28:18,666 --> 00:28:21,999
and saying, "Nice to meet you.
" They really get mad.
559
00:28:22,269 --> 00:28:24,897
Was Jim Shepard's social
life as active as yours?
560
00:28:25,306 --> 00:28:27,275
Jimmy didn't have
a social life.
561
00:28:27,342 --> 00:28:28,900
Which is kind of weird.
562
00:28:28,977 --> 00:28:31,241
That's not what
he told Robin Muller.
563
00:28:31,313 --> 00:28:34,714
Oh, her, he spent time with.
Yeah, he talked about her a lot, too.
564
00:28:34,783 --> 00:28:38,047
She was so much fun, he could really
be himself when he was with her.
565
00:28:38,118 --> 00:28:41,144
Do you think he might have done
more than just admire her?
566
00:28:41,222 --> 00:28:45,352
Jimmy? I guess.
He spent a lot of time at her place.
567
00:28:46,493 --> 00:28:49,462
She said they just did
their laundry together.
568
00:28:49,530 --> 00:28:52,260
That, too.
We had machines in the basement.
569
00:28:52,566 --> 00:28:56,024
Jimmy would schlep two bags
of clothes around the block.
570
00:28:56,103 --> 00:28:59,369
You think he just liked
the soap better over there?
571
00:29:02,910 --> 00:29:05,845
I break a sweat trying
to put on a shirt.
572
00:29:05,913 --> 00:29:08,040
Hope you're planning
to throw away the key.
573
00:29:08,449 --> 00:29:10,576
She's going to prison.
That's good.
574
00:29:11,151 --> 00:29:12,516
We know why you don't like her.
575
00:29:12,586 --> 00:29:15,020
Can you tell us
why she hates you?
576
00:29:15,089 --> 00:29:17,489
'Cause she's crazy.
That's it?
577
00:29:17,591 --> 00:29:20,492
Well, does the sane person
hire a professional killer
578
00:29:20,561 --> 00:29:21,892
to shoot somebody
for no reason?
579
00:29:21,962 --> 00:29:23,122
She says she had one.
580
00:29:23,364 --> 00:29:27,425
Right. I killed Rick.
I forgot you're actually investigating that.
581
00:29:27,835 --> 00:29:30,803
We understand you were close
with Robin before Rick died.
582
00:29:30,870 --> 00:29:32,270
Yeah, close friends.
583
00:29:32,339 --> 00:29:34,671
I only ever saw her 'cause she
was my best friend's wife.
584
00:29:34,742 --> 00:29:38,007
And when you went out of your way
to do your laundry with her?
585
00:29:38,112 --> 00:29:41,013
My laundry?
You took it to her Laundromat.
586
00:29:41,448 --> 00:29:44,474
Your roommate says your
building had a laundry room.
587
00:29:44,551 --> 00:29:48,487
Yeah, that's right.
And it was full of rats.
588
00:29:48,989 --> 00:29:50,889
And my roommate
wouldn't know that
589
00:29:50,958 --> 00:29:54,359
because he'd wear the same
shirt eight days in a row.
590
00:29:55,496 --> 00:29:58,362
I'm rolling away now.
Don't follow me.
591
00:30:01,768 --> 00:30:03,999
He denies it.
She denies it.
592
00:30:04,171 --> 00:30:06,162
So now you believe
they're innocent.
593
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,834
Or you don't think you
can prove they're not.
594
00:30:08,909 --> 00:30:12,367
We can find out if there really
were rats in that laundry room.
595
00:30:12,446 --> 00:30:14,971
You volunteering
for the assignment?
596
00:30:15,082 --> 00:30:16,572
Estelle Muller
smelled an affair,
597
00:30:16,650 --> 00:30:17,947
the roommate smelled an affair,
598
00:30:18,018 --> 00:30:19,315
the husband conveniently died,
599
00:30:19,386 --> 00:30:22,549
and the two people who swear they
weren't having an affair got married.
600
00:30:22,823 --> 00:30:24,949
Hung jury.
I can talk to other people.
601
00:30:25,024 --> 00:30:26,855
Old friends, neighbors.
Sure.
602
00:30:26,926 --> 00:30:30,657
Maybe somebody saw him leaning
a ladder against her window.
603
00:30:31,064 --> 00:30:34,158
Is Estelle Muller crazy?
604
00:30:34,233 --> 00:30:35,632
She seems sane to me.
605
00:30:36,370 --> 00:30:38,895
You know where
Rick Muller's buried.
606
00:30:39,106 --> 00:30:43,475
Dig him up, and have the Medical
Examiner do it right this time.
607
00:30:44,278 --> 00:30:45,939
He's very well
preserved, Jamie.
608
00:30:46,013 --> 00:30:49,176
Just a little skin sluffing
off the hands and feet.
609
00:30:49,249 --> 00:30:50,580
You want to take a look?
610
00:30:50,651 --> 00:30:51,878
Maybe later.
611
00:30:51,951 --> 00:30:54,283
I'm holding off cutting open the
skull to take out the brain
612
00:30:54,354 --> 00:30:57,846
because I think the skull is what
you're going to be interested in.
613
00:30:57,924 --> 00:31:00,324
The death certificate said,
"Presumed cranial fracture."
614
00:31:00,393 --> 00:31:02,224
I took some pictures.
615
00:31:02,695 --> 00:31:06,825
Used mammography film for finer detail.
There are two fractures.
616
00:31:06,899 --> 00:31:08,629
They missed one last time.
617
00:31:08,869 --> 00:31:10,928
He fell on his head, then he
got up and fell on it again?
618
00:31:11,005 --> 00:31:12,836
No, only one of the
fractures is consistent
619
00:31:12,906 --> 00:31:15,773
with landing from a height
of 20 feet onto a flat rock.
620
00:31:15,843 --> 00:31:17,833
And the other?
Deeper.
621
00:31:18,945 --> 00:31:21,106
Acute angles.
More forceful.
622
00:31:22,181 --> 00:31:25,082
I keep a bunch of things that
people use to crack each other.
623
00:31:25,318 --> 00:31:29,550
Tire irons, pipe
wrenches, candlesticks,
624
00:31:31,657 --> 00:31:33,147
baseball bat.
625
00:31:38,698 --> 00:31:40,131
Perfect fit.
626
00:31:40,733 --> 00:31:43,760
Hey, what's this?
Hey, we're done talking to you people.
627
00:31:43,837 --> 00:31:44,996
That is your legal right.
628
00:31:45,071 --> 00:31:47,062
You're under arrest for the
murder of Richard Muller.
629
00:31:47,140 --> 00:31:49,040
You have the right to
remain silent. No!
630
00:31:49,108 --> 00:31:50,769
Sorry, ma'am.
Get him dressed.
631
00:31:50,843 --> 00:31:53,903
Anything you do say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.
632
00:31:53,980 --> 00:31:56,107
You have the right to an attorney.
If you cannot afford one,
633
00:31:56,182 --> 00:31:57,672
one will be provided for you.
634
00:32:00,253 --> 00:32:02,687
I'd bought some
Christmas presents for the baby.
635
00:32:03,256 --> 00:32:07,818
I thought I'd drop them off at their
apartment instead of taking them home.
636
00:32:07,994 --> 00:32:09,689
What time
of day was it?
637
00:32:09,862 --> 00:32:11,022
After dinner.
638
00:32:11,297 --> 00:32:14,425
I expected that Darlene
would be down for the night
639
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:16,559
and Rick would be
home from school.
640
00:32:16,636 --> 00:32:17,762
Was he?
641
00:32:17,837 --> 00:32:20,465
No. He was
at the library.
642
00:32:21,374 --> 00:32:23,774
Robin was alone
with Jim Shepard.
643
00:32:25,144 --> 00:32:27,612
Please tell the jury what you saw.
644
00:32:29,015 --> 00:32:31,848
Robin opened the door.
The lights were low.
645
00:32:32,151 --> 00:32:34,483
I smelled liquor on her breath.
646
00:32:35,321 --> 00:32:39,950
Her hair was a mess.
Her skirt zipper was halfway down.
647
00:32:41,426 --> 00:32:43,621
She didn't invite me to stay.
648
00:32:44,696 --> 00:32:46,028
Thank you.
649
00:32:50,503 --> 00:32:51,834
Mrs. Muller,
650
00:32:53,773 --> 00:32:56,435
didn't you come to learn
that your daughter-in-law
651
00:32:56,509 --> 00:32:58,340
was changing her
clothes because
652
00:32:58,411 --> 00:33:01,505
she'd just returned
from playing racquetball,
653
00:33:01,948 --> 00:33:05,213
during which time Mr.
Shepard had been babysitting?
654
00:33:06,218 --> 00:33:07,708
That's what she said.
655
00:33:07,786 --> 00:33:11,017
She did occasionally play
racquetball, didn't she?
656
00:33:11,490 --> 00:33:14,948
I didn't believe her.
The Lord gave me a brain.
657
00:33:17,629 --> 00:33:21,361
So, in your good judgment,
she was lying?
658
00:33:21,767 --> 00:33:23,234
That's right.
659
00:33:25,171 --> 00:33:29,733
The same good judgment that led you
to hire a professional hit man
660
00:33:29,809 --> 00:33:32,403
to assassinate my client?
Objection.
661
00:33:34,012 --> 00:33:36,105
Withdrawn.
Nothing further.
662
00:33:37,149 --> 00:33:40,550
Mrs. Muller, why were
you willing to risk
663
00:33:40,619 --> 00:33:44,851
going to jail for the rest of
your life to hire that hit man?
664
00:33:47,893 --> 00:33:50,919
Because I believe Jim
Shepard killed my son.
665
00:33:55,301 --> 00:33:59,294
It was a small two-bedroom, one bath.
It was all we could afford.
666
00:33:59,505 --> 00:34:03,497
I was in school, and Jimmy was basically
a traveling T-shirt salesman.
667
00:34:04,009 --> 00:34:07,706
As roommates, did you ever
discuss the women in your lives?
668
00:34:07,812 --> 00:34:08,938
Sure.
669
00:34:09,014 --> 00:34:13,178
Do you remember what kind of
social life Mr. Shepard had?
670
00:34:13,285 --> 00:34:14,775
About average.
671
00:34:15,654 --> 00:34:18,919
Sometimes he had a girlfriend,
sometimes he didn't.
672
00:34:26,299 --> 00:34:30,029
To your knowledge, did he spend
much time with Robin Muller?
673
00:34:30,302 --> 00:34:32,065
To my knowledge, no.
674
00:34:35,140 --> 00:34:38,268
What, if anything, did
he say to you about her?
675
00:34:38,877 --> 00:34:40,105
Nothing.
676
00:34:40,478 --> 00:34:42,810
Are you
sure about that?
677
00:34:42,881 --> 00:34:44,007
I don't remember anything.
678
00:34:44,216 --> 00:34:47,276
Do you remember telling
my associate, Ms. Ross,
679
00:34:47,352 --> 00:34:50,378
that the defendant spent a great
deal of time with Robin Muller,
680
00:34:50,455 --> 00:34:54,982
and often spoke of her
affectionately? No.
681
00:34:55,059 --> 00:34:57,085
Didn't you tell
her Mr. Shepard
682
00:34:57,162 --> 00:34:59,722
talked about Mrs.
Muller a lot? Objection.
683
00:34:59,798 --> 00:35:01,789
Asked and answered.
Sustained.
684
00:35:01,866 --> 00:35:04,733
Do you have anything
different, Mr. McCoy?
685
00:35:07,739 --> 00:35:10,936
Mr. Goldman, where did Mr.
Shepard do his laundry?
686
00:35:12,210 --> 00:35:13,302
I have no idea.
687
00:35:13,378 --> 00:35:16,347
Didn't you tell Ms.
Ross that he went out of his way
688
00:35:16,414 --> 00:35:17,847
to do it with
Mrs. Muller?
689
00:35:17,916 --> 00:35:20,612
Your Honor, he can't
cross-examine his own witness.
690
00:35:20,919 --> 00:35:22,283
I can remind him of the truth.
691
00:35:22,353 --> 00:35:24,048
Enough, Mr. McCoy.
692
00:35:24,121 --> 00:35:26,089
If you have no additional
proper questions,
693
00:35:26,156 --> 00:35:28,124
this examination is concluded.
694
00:35:32,330 --> 00:35:35,925
Wonderful.
The witness recants,
695
00:35:36,001 --> 00:35:37,764
and you almost get
held in contempt.
696
00:35:37,836 --> 00:35:40,270
I had to let the jury
know he was lying. Sure.
697
00:35:40,338 --> 00:35:42,067
They were roommates
for three years.
698
00:35:42,140 --> 00:35:43,630
Obviously they're
still friends.
699
00:35:43,708 --> 00:35:45,608
And now the only
witness who put
700
00:35:45,677 --> 00:35:48,304
the lovebirds together
is Estelle Muller,
701
00:35:49,213 --> 00:35:51,807
the woman who tried to
have the defendant killed.
702
00:35:51,882 --> 00:35:55,010
We've talked to old friends,
neighbors, meter readers.
703
00:35:55,085 --> 00:35:57,883
Robin and Jim Shepard
were very discreet.
704
00:35:58,255 --> 00:36:01,555
On their home ground.
He did a lot of traveling.
705
00:36:01,993 --> 00:36:04,723
Find out if the woman
ever packed a bag.
706
00:36:06,531 --> 00:36:09,364
He's getting away with it, isn't he?
You're losing.
707
00:36:09,434 --> 00:36:11,197
It's not over yet.
708
00:36:11,269 --> 00:36:12,759
I'll be in jail.
709
00:36:12,837 --> 00:36:16,636
Darlene will have his name,
as if my son never existed.
710
00:36:17,107 --> 00:36:19,075
Mrs. Muller, when Robin
was married to your son,
711
00:36:19,143 --> 00:36:21,873
did she ever go out
of town without him?
712
00:36:22,980 --> 00:36:26,143
They didn't have much
money then, and the baby.
713
00:36:26,617 --> 00:36:30,747
We're trying to find out if she
ever sneaked away with Jim Shepard.
714
00:36:31,689 --> 00:36:33,885
You never babysat overnight?
715
00:36:36,127 --> 00:36:40,564
Once. A few weeks
before Rick died,
716
00:36:42,066 --> 00:36:48,232
Robin went to Pennsylvania, Harrisburg,
for her high school reunion.
717
00:36:52,843 --> 00:36:56,176
Leave an empty seat next to you,
any riffraff could sit down.
718
00:36:56,246 --> 00:36:59,113
Are you sitting down?
719
00:36:59,183 --> 00:37:00,844
You check out Harrisburg?
720
00:37:01,285 --> 00:37:05,051
Robin Shepard's reunion was held
in a ballroom at the Regent Hotel.
721
00:37:05,122 --> 00:37:08,388
I got their guest register.
She didn't book a room.
722
00:37:10,994 --> 00:37:13,258
James Shepard.
Room 406.
723
00:37:14,798 --> 00:37:16,823
I'm going to call
you to the stand.
724
00:37:16,900 --> 00:37:18,868
And you better
tell the truth, Robin.
725
00:37:19,103 --> 00:37:20,661
Or I'm going to charge
you as conspirator
726
00:37:20,738 --> 00:37:22,763
in the murder of
your first husband.
727
00:37:22,873 --> 00:37:27,071
What? Why?
728
00:37:27,678 --> 00:37:30,647
We know about your
rendezvous in Harrisburg.
729
00:37:31,749 --> 00:37:32,909
Harrisburg?
730
00:37:32,983 --> 00:37:34,746
The weekend of your
high school reunion.
731
00:37:34,985 --> 00:37:37,646
I rendezvoused
with 200 classmates,
732
00:37:37,720 --> 00:37:39,746
and we danced to golden oldies.
733
00:37:40,290 --> 00:37:42,349
You're going to arrest me?
734
00:37:42,426 --> 00:37:45,122
We know Jim Shepard was there.
Yes.
735
00:37:45,195 --> 00:37:48,722
Yeah, I ran into him in the hotel lobby.
It was a coincidence.
736
00:37:48,799 --> 00:37:51,165
He was there on
a business trip.
737
00:37:51,935 --> 00:37:54,597
You ran into him?
What happened then?
738
00:37:55,105 --> 00:37:59,599
I went to the Pep Club cocktail
party and sang school songs.
739
00:38:00,077 --> 00:38:03,068
I didn't see Jim again until
I got back to New York.
740
00:38:03,146 --> 00:38:05,876
Except across the bed
in his hotel room.
741
00:38:06,048 --> 00:38:08,949
You didn't even bother to get a room
of your own for appearances' sake.
742
00:38:09,018 --> 00:38:12,113
That's right, because I
stayed with Joni Marsh.
743
00:38:13,056 --> 00:38:15,547
I was trying to save money.
She had a double.
744
00:38:19,496 --> 00:38:21,259
I talked to Joni Marsh.
745
00:38:21,331 --> 00:38:22,628
Robin stayed with her?
746
00:38:23,901 --> 00:38:26,768
His hotel registration
was our smoking gun.
747
00:38:26,837 --> 00:38:28,065
Except it wasn't.
748
00:38:28,872 --> 00:38:32,329
I'll still put it into evidence
that they were both in Harrisburg.
749
00:38:32,408 --> 00:38:34,273
Let the jury draw
its own conclusion.
750
00:38:34,343 --> 00:38:36,106
Even if it's
the wrong conclusion?
751
00:38:36,179 --> 00:38:37,578
Maybe it really
was a coincidence.
752
00:38:37,647 --> 00:38:39,046
Come on. Harrisburg?
753
00:38:39,115 --> 00:38:41,345
Joni Marsh gave me the names
of three women to call.
754
00:38:41,417 --> 00:38:42,475
Between them,
they can account for
755
00:38:42,552 --> 00:38:45,113
every minute of Robin
Shepard's time that weekend.
756
00:38:45,189 --> 00:38:47,623
None of them ever laid
eyes on Jim Shepard.
757
00:38:47,691 --> 00:38:52,219
But Robin saw him.
Maybe it was a coincidence, for her.
758
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,097
Rick Muller was my best friend.
759
00:39:01,204 --> 00:39:04,264
I never stop thinking
about his death.
760
00:39:04,340 --> 00:39:05,967
If only I hadn't
brought the beer.
761
00:39:06,042 --> 00:39:09,534
If only we'd just taken the
sidewalk out of the park.
762
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,913
Did you kill Rick Muller,
Mr. Shepard?
763
00:39:14,717 --> 00:39:16,686
No, I did not.
764
00:39:17,421 --> 00:39:19,048
The People have
presented evidence
765
00:39:19,122 --> 00:39:21,784
that you were in Harrisburg
at a time when Robin Muller
766
00:39:21,859 --> 00:39:24,827
was there without her husband.
Yeah, I was.
767
00:39:25,661 --> 00:39:28,459
But I didn't even
know she'd be there.
768
00:39:28,531 --> 00:39:29,623
But you saw her?
769
00:39:30,233 --> 00:39:33,430
For a few minutes, yeah.
By chance. I was working.
770
00:39:33,703 --> 00:39:36,638
Did you have an
affair with her that weekend?
771
00:39:36,839 --> 00:39:40,331
No. Did you ever have
an affair with her?
772
00:39:40,776 --> 00:39:41,834
No.
773
00:39:42,879 --> 00:39:47,680
See, we'd always been
friends, the three of us.
774
00:39:49,086 --> 00:39:54,022
And after Rick died, it
just became something more.
775
00:39:55,591 --> 00:39:59,584
I mean, we were both
surprised when we fell in love.
776
00:40:00,630 --> 00:40:01,961
Thank you.
777
00:40:04,133 --> 00:40:05,760
So, Mr. Shepard,
778
00:40:07,537 --> 00:40:11,473
when you ran into the woman who
is now your wife in Harrisburg,
779
00:40:11,541 --> 00:40:13,270
it was only for a few minutes?
780
00:40:13,342 --> 00:40:14,570
That's right.
781
00:40:18,813 --> 00:40:20,782
What did you talk about?
782
00:40:21,717 --> 00:40:22,979
Uh...
783
00:40:23,686 --> 00:40:27,645
"What are you doing here?
What a coincidence." That kind of thing.
784
00:40:27,723 --> 00:40:30,817
Did you invite her to
join you for a meal?
785
00:40:31,827 --> 00:40:32,919
Yeah, I might have.
786
00:40:32,995 --> 00:40:34,019
A drink?
787
00:40:35,798 --> 00:40:38,096
Yeah, that would be natural.
788
00:40:38,167 --> 00:40:41,625
But she said no.
She was busy with her reunion.
789
00:40:41,704 --> 00:40:45,400
I see. You must have been
terribly disappointed.
790
00:40:46,541 --> 00:40:49,101
What do you mean?
That she rejected your invitation,
791
00:40:49,177 --> 00:40:51,668
after you had gone
to all the trouble
792
00:40:51,746 --> 00:40:56,081
of arranging this
supposedly chance meeting.
793
00:40:56,152 --> 00:40:59,849
Oh, I didn't arrange anything.
I didn't know she'd be there.
794
00:40:59,922 --> 00:41:03,414
Right. You were
surprised to see her
795
00:41:03,492 --> 00:41:05,153
in the midst of
your business trip.
796
00:41:05,628 --> 00:41:07,095
That's right.
797
00:41:09,398 --> 00:41:13,128
At that time, you were working
for Atlantic Novelties?
798
00:41:13,201 --> 00:41:17,069
Yeah. I sold T-shirts to concert venues.
I traveled all the time.
799
00:41:17,138 --> 00:41:20,767
Is this your travel
booking form for 1991?
800
00:41:22,544 --> 00:41:24,034
I'm not sure.
801
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,608
Well, doesn't it say,
802
00:41:27,683 --> 00:41:32,120
"Atlantic Novelties.
Travel booking form, 1991. James Shepard"?
803
00:41:32,188 --> 00:41:33,246
Yeah.
804
00:41:33,322 --> 00:41:34,880
Would you show me where it says
805
00:41:34,957 --> 00:41:37,152
you took a trip to Harrisburg?
806
00:41:39,161 --> 00:41:41,458
It's not on here.
It must be on another sheet.
807
00:41:41,529 --> 00:41:42,791
Really?
808
00:41:49,204 --> 00:41:52,173
These are your expense
reports for 1991.
809
00:41:54,275 --> 00:41:57,711
You claimed reimbursement
for every trip on that list.
810
00:41:59,582 --> 00:42:02,949
Would you show me your expense
report for Harrisburg?
811
00:42:13,395 --> 00:42:14,692
Uh...
812
00:42:14,763 --> 00:42:16,162
It's not here.
813
00:42:16,231 --> 00:42:18,199
It's not here
because it never existed?
814
00:42:18,266 --> 00:42:19,563
No. Uh...
815
00:42:19,634 --> 00:42:20,965
You didn't claim reimbursement
816
00:42:21,036 --> 00:42:22,333
because it wasn't
a business trip.
817
00:42:22,404 --> 00:42:24,964
Isn't it a fact that
you went to Harrisburg
818
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,703
because you wanted to run
into your best friend's wife?
819
00:42:28,777 --> 00:42:30,678
Because you were
obsessed with her?
820
00:42:30,746 --> 00:42:34,306
You asked her to join you
for a drink in your room
821
00:42:34,382 --> 00:42:37,112
hoping that nature would take its
course, but she turned you down.
822
00:42:37,185 --> 00:42:38,243
Is there a question there?
823
00:42:38,319 --> 00:42:40,048
Isn't that right, Mr.
Shepard? No.
824
00:42:40,121 --> 00:42:43,989
She turned you down, so you
had to find another way
825
00:42:44,059 --> 00:42:45,219
to get her for yourself.
826
00:42:45,293 --> 00:42:46,817
Objection. Argumentative.
827
00:42:46,895 --> 00:42:48,920
Dial it back, Mr. McCoy.
828
00:42:48,997 --> 00:42:49,986
Fine.
829
00:42:54,569 --> 00:42:56,366
Tell us, Mr. Shepard,
830
00:43:02,976 --> 00:43:05,810
what exactly were you
doing in Harrisburg?
831
00:43:24,933 --> 00:43:28,766
Well, thanks, Jack.
You just conceded there was no affair.
832
00:43:28,836 --> 00:43:30,736
I hope the jury was listening.
833
00:43:30,804 --> 00:43:34,763
I hope your client's wife was listening.
Were you, Mrs. Shepard?
834
00:43:36,644 --> 00:43:38,305
Hey, she doesn't
have to talk to you.
835
00:43:38,379 --> 00:43:40,609
She can if she wants to.
836
00:43:43,918 --> 00:43:46,887
Robin, we're going.
837
00:44:01,869 --> 00:44:06,397
She's got to be looking at every minute
of her life with him in a new light.
838
00:44:06,473 --> 00:44:08,339
Got to be interesting.
839
00:44:12,013 --> 00:44:16,143
Rick threw me a birthday dinner
at this restaurant in Chinatown,
840
00:44:16,851 --> 00:44:20,548
and Jim gave me a bracelet.
It was gold.
841
00:44:21,755 --> 00:44:25,919
I thought it was too expensive, but
Jim said he had just gotten a raise.
842
00:44:25,993 --> 00:44:28,393
I didn't think
it meant anything.
843
00:44:30,164 --> 00:44:32,257
Were there any other occasions
844
00:44:32,332 --> 00:44:34,698
when his behavior
seemed inappropriate?
845
00:44:34,768 --> 00:44:39,171
Sometimes he sat a little close.
Sometimes he touched me.
846
00:44:40,742 --> 00:44:42,334
We were friends.
847
00:44:45,146 --> 00:44:47,979
Did he do anything
848
00:44:48,049 --> 00:44:50,812
to indicate that he wanted
to be more than friends?
849
00:44:56,590 --> 00:45:00,651
The last New Year's Eve that
Rick was alive, we had a party.
850
00:45:00,727 --> 00:45:02,991
I was coming out of the
bathroom just at midnight,
851
00:45:03,063 --> 00:45:05,497
and Jim was in the bedroom,
852
00:45:05,566 --> 00:45:09,024
almost like he was waiting there for me.
He kissed me.
853
00:45:09,837 --> 00:45:13,865
It wasn't a casual kiss.
I pulled away, and he said,
854
00:45:13,942 --> 00:45:17,502
"Come on, Robin.
Let's get out of here, just you and me."
855
00:45:20,547 --> 00:45:23,311
I thought he was drunk,
856
00:45:23,383 --> 00:45:25,715
and we both just tried to
make a joke out of it.
857
00:45:29,923 --> 00:45:31,550
What did you say?
858
00:45:38,932 --> 00:45:41,492
"If only I weren't
a married woman."
859
00:45:50,644 --> 00:45:54,410
Almost a record.
They convicted him in an hour and a half.
860
00:45:54,481 --> 00:45:56,676
How's the wife doing?
Shaky.
861
00:45:57,251 --> 00:45:59,219
But she served him
with divorce papers
862
00:45:59,286 --> 00:46:01,652
on his way out
of the courtroom.
863
00:46:01,722 --> 00:46:04,486
Got to be tough finding out
you married your stalker.
