NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:02,770 --> 00:00:06,570
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:06,641 --> 00:00:08,472
the police who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,643 --> 00:00:11,305
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,479 --> 00:00:13,003
These are their stories.
6
00:00:14,882 --> 00:00:16,247
Hey.
Could you sign for this?
7
00:00:16,317 --> 00:00:17,317
Sí.
8
00:00:21,423 --> 00:00:23,550
Okay? Appreciate it.
Have a good day.
9
00:00:41,443 --> 00:00:42,910
Hello?
10
00:00:49,518 --> 00:00:51,247
Mrs. Rosatti?
11
00:01:05,134 --> 00:01:06,658
BRISCOE: What'd
you find upstairs?
12
00:01:06,736 --> 00:01:10,194
Burglary. Took the cash, left the
credit cards, the costume jewelry.
13
00:01:10,273 --> 00:01:11,934
She found him
about 10:00.
14
00:01:12,041 --> 00:01:15,033
The M.E. Says he was killed
late Saturday or early Sunday.
15
00:01:15,178 --> 00:01:16,270
The guy was a contractor.
16
00:01:16,412 --> 00:01:18,778
And I thought the recession
hurt the construction business.
17
00:01:18,848 --> 00:01:20,839
Yeah, Rosatti was
doing pretty well.
18
00:01:20,917 --> 00:01:23,044
Speaking of which,
any sign of Mrs. Rosatti?
19
00:01:23,119 --> 00:01:25,087
Ah, I don't think
she's back from the disco yet.
20
00:01:25,154 --> 00:01:26,553
Ain't no discos no more.
21
00:01:26,823 --> 00:01:27,881
So, hey,
22
00:01:27,957 --> 00:01:30,290
Rosatti hears something
go bump in the night,
23
00:01:30,361 --> 00:01:32,124
he comes downstairs, boom.
24
00:01:32,496 --> 00:01:34,259
Our guy goes about his business.
25
00:01:34,331 --> 00:01:35,525
A pretty cool customer.
26
00:01:35,599 --> 00:01:37,499
Yeah, he might as well
get what he came for.
27
00:01:37,801 --> 00:01:42,033
Uh, she said the alarm was off, but
the door was locked with a dead bolt.
28
00:01:42,139 --> 00:01:43,367
Somebody had a key.
29
00:01:44,041 --> 00:01:46,942
He took one in the back
of the head, at close range,
30
00:01:47,011 --> 00:01:50,811
small caliber,
no exit wound, no brass.
31
00:01:50,881 --> 00:01:51,881
Very tidy.
32
00:01:52,249 --> 00:01:53,375
Very professional.
33
00:01:53,450 --> 00:01:55,645
Yeah, what do you bet
there's no prints, either?
34
00:01:55,719 --> 00:01:58,745
Well, we better find Mrs. Rosatti,
tell her her husband's dead.
35
00:01:58,822 --> 00:02:00,255
If she doesn't already know.
36
00:02:00,324 --> 00:02:03,555
Man, you are such a cynic
when it comes to love.
37
00:02:03,627 --> 00:02:10,619
Not love, marriage.
Ripped By mstoll
38
00:02:56,415 --> 00:02:58,508
I've been with Tony
for five years.
39
00:02:58,584 --> 00:03:00,176
He's the best boss I ever had.
40
00:03:00,252 --> 00:03:01,252
I'm very sorry.
41
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,715
Oh, my God. Sherri
doesn't even know yet.
42
00:03:03,789 --> 00:03:04,789
Mrs. Rosatti?
43
00:03:04,857 --> 00:03:06,381
She's at a spa in Connecticut.
44
00:03:06,459 --> 00:03:10,122
She went up there Friday afternoon.
I think she's due home tomorrow.
45
00:03:10,196 --> 00:03:11,561
ED: So you haven't
talked to her yet?
46
00:03:11,630 --> 00:03:12,756
Oh, my God.
47
00:03:12,832 --> 00:03:17,202
It's one of those "You can't call the guests
unless it's an emergency" kind of places.
48
00:03:17,270 --> 00:03:19,932
I think this qualifies
as an emergency.
49
00:03:20,006 --> 00:03:21,200
I'll give you the number.
50
00:03:21,575 --> 00:03:23,372
They'll have to put you through.
51
00:03:24,010 --> 00:03:26,945
I'll call David,
Mr. Rosatti's son.
52
00:03:27,013 --> 00:03:28,275
From a previous marriage?
53
00:03:28,648 --> 00:03:31,014
Tony and Sherri have only
been married a few years.
54
00:03:31,351 --> 00:03:33,751
Thank you. We're gonna need to
look at papers, date books,
55
00:03:33,820 --> 00:03:35,378
computers...
Sure, sure.
56
00:03:35,455 --> 00:03:39,858
Marisa, since you seem to know
Tony pretty well, can you think of
57
00:03:39,926 --> 00:03:41,257
anybody who might wanna...
58
00:03:41,328 --> 00:03:44,786
No! Oh, my God. Why would
anyone want him dead?
59
00:03:44,965 --> 00:03:47,661
A New York City contractor?
Who wouldn't?
60
00:03:49,336 --> 00:03:50,894
Well, he did get sued a lot.
61
00:03:52,340 --> 00:03:55,571
Vendors, employees, clients.
62
00:03:55,810 --> 00:03:59,268
This guy owes the butcher, the
baker, and the candlestick maker.
63
00:03:59,347 --> 00:04:00,746
That's right, Rosatti.
64
00:04:02,150 --> 00:04:03,150
Sherri.
65
00:04:04,986 --> 00:04:06,419
Uh-huh, Friday.
66
00:04:06,721 --> 00:04:09,417
Be cheaper to pay
his bills than his lawyers.
67
00:04:09,991 --> 00:04:13,552
Okay, are you sure?
Okay, thank you.
68
00:04:14,562 --> 00:04:17,360
She made a reservation at the
spa, but she never showed up.
69
00:04:17,432 --> 00:04:19,696
Well, until she does,
maybe we should talk to
70
00:04:19,767 --> 00:04:22,895
some of Rosatti's less
than satisfied clientele.
71
00:04:27,109 --> 00:04:30,010
Nice nose, good body,
too much tannin,
72
00:04:30,078 --> 00:04:32,273
and like everything else
around here, no finish.
73
00:04:32,614 --> 00:04:34,377
Sorry, I'm jammed.
74
00:04:34,450 --> 00:04:37,180
We're opening up for lunch tomorrow,
three months behind schedule.
75
00:04:37,252 --> 00:04:38,913
Is that Tony Rosatti's fault?
76
00:04:38,987 --> 00:04:41,907
Well, he's like every other contractor
in this city, he's way overextended.
77
00:04:42,324 --> 00:04:45,191
Finally had to take him to court just to
get him to show up and do the damn work.
78
00:04:45,260 --> 00:04:47,888
Well, it says here you're
suing him for a million two.
79
00:04:48,363 --> 00:04:51,696
Yeah. A bargaining position.
Put the fear of God in him.
80
00:04:51,934 --> 00:04:53,731
Plus a little something
for the aggravation.
81
00:04:54,136 --> 00:04:57,128
He still has the finish work to do.
He does that, I'll drop the suit.
82
00:04:57,206 --> 00:05:00,437
If I were you, I'd start shopping
around for a new contractor.
83
00:05:00,509 --> 00:05:01,942
What, he's gone out of business?
84
00:05:02,010 --> 00:05:05,037
Well, you could say that. Tony Rosatti
was murdered over the weekend.
85
00:05:06,149 --> 00:05:07,149
Oh, man.
86
00:05:07,984 --> 00:05:09,008
I had no idea.
87
00:05:09,619 --> 00:05:11,059
BRISCOE: Where were you
this weekend?
88
00:05:11,721 --> 00:05:13,712
You think I'd kill him
over a couple of sconces?
89
00:05:13,790 --> 00:05:15,758
Well, if they
were expensive enough.
90
00:05:15,825 --> 00:05:18,919
I was in the Hamptons visiting friends.
I'll give you their name and number.
91
00:05:19,829 --> 00:05:22,059
Hey, the last thing
I'd want is Rosatti dead.
92
00:05:22,131 --> 00:05:24,099
At least not until
after the job was finished.
93
00:05:25,535 --> 00:05:27,135
VAN BUREN: I thought
this was a burglary?
94
00:05:27,203 --> 00:05:29,137
We're thinking
the burglary was a cover.
95
00:05:29,205 --> 00:05:30,536
It looks like a hit.
96
00:05:30,607 --> 00:05:32,802
A.22 to back of the head
at close range.
97
00:05:32,876 --> 00:05:34,571
Next to no forensics.
98
00:05:34,644 --> 00:05:37,306
There's no shell casings, there's
no blood other than the vic's,
99
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:39,372
there's no fingerprints that
shouldn't be there. This was a pro.
100
00:05:39,450 --> 00:05:41,315
Well, when I had my kitchen
re-done, I would have cheerfully
101
00:05:41,385 --> 00:05:43,216
wrung my contractor's neck,
102
00:05:43,287 --> 00:05:45,653
I don't think I would have gone
so far as to hire a hit man.
103
00:05:45,723 --> 00:05:48,590
Almost all the litigation
was penny ante,
104
00:05:48,659 --> 00:05:50,456
and all the litigants
have alibis.
105
00:05:50,528 --> 00:05:51,825
So, what's your other theory?
106
00:05:51,896 --> 00:05:53,329
Well, the wife's
still M.I.A.
107
00:05:53,697 --> 00:05:55,187
Always the nearest and dearest.
108
00:05:55,299 --> 00:05:56,357
Now who's the cynic?
109
00:05:56,433 --> 00:05:58,298
We're thinking
she may be another victim.
110
00:05:58,936 --> 00:05:59,936
Right.
111
00:06:00,037 --> 00:06:03,237
Well, she's the second wife, which means
there's a first wife out there somewhere.
112
00:06:08,913 --> 00:06:11,245
I knew Bambi
would kill him eventually,
113
00:06:11,315 --> 00:06:13,511
although I thought it would
be his heart exploding
114
00:06:13,585 --> 00:06:16,076
while they were doing the horizontal
hula under the dining room table.
115
00:06:16,154 --> 00:06:18,714
All right, all right,
all right. We get the point.
116
00:06:18,790 --> 00:06:19,950
You don't seem that upset.
117
00:06:20,225 --> 00:06:21,556
Why would I care?
118
00:06:21,626 --> 00:06:24,789
I haven't seen or thought
about the man for 10 years.
119
00:06:24,863 --> 00:06:28,993
By Bambi, I assume you're referring
to his current wife, Sherri?
120
00:06:29,067 --> 00:06:31,535
Sherri, Bambi,
what's the difference?
121
00:06:31,803 --> 00:06:32,803
ED: You sound bitter.
122
00:06:33,872 --> 00:06:35,032
You think I...
123
00:06:35,607 --> 00:06:37,507
(LAUGHS) Look.
124
00:06:37,576 --> 00:06:41,706
What happened between
Tony and me is I dumped him.
125
00:06:41,780 --> 00:06:43,500
BRISCOE: Why? Because
he was running around?
126
00:06:44,049 --> 00:06:45,448
Because I was running around.
127
00:06:46,117 --> 00:06:48,677
You're young, you want to
get away from home,
128
00:06:48,753 --> 00:06:50,517
you meet a guy who doesn't
make you want to gag,
129
00:06:50,590 --> 00:06:52,251
you let him put a ring
on your finger.
130
00:06:52,325 --> 00:06:53,622
And that would be Tony?
131
00:06:54,093 --> 00:06:57,062
And just when I was starting
to think my life was over,
132
00:06:57,129 --> 00:07:00,257
I met a man six years younger
than me, full head of hair,
133
00:07:00,333 --> 00:07:03,325
who actually knows which
fork to use for the salad.
134
00:07:04,003 --> 00:07:06,437
Now there's a refreshing change.
What?
135
00:07:06,505 --> 00:07:08,632
A wife leaving her husband
for a younger guy?
136
00:07:08,708 --> 00:07:11,040
No. A wife who doesn't
want her ex-husband dead.
137
00:07:11,110 --> 00:07:12,737
Well, let's talk to the son.
138
00:07:12,812 --> 00:07:15,246
Maybe he knows something about
the current Mrs. Rosatti.
139
00:07:16,549 --> 00:07:20,144
My father was a bum from Brooklyn
who got lucky for a couple of days.
140
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,388
Good old Dad, salt of the earth.
141
00:07:23,823 --> 00:07:26,759
And now, God bless him, he's
actually gonna be six feet under it.
142
00:07:27,094 --> 00:07:29,961
Oh, let me guess. You shed
all your tears this morning?
143
00:07:30,564 --> 00:07:32,259
Do either of you guys
speak French?
144
00:07:32,332 --> 00:07:33,424
ED: A little bit.
145
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:36,560
Good. Then you'll understand when I
say that my father was a schmuck.
146
00:07:36,970 --> 00:07:40,770
So was mine, but I took a
couple days off when he kicked.
147
00:07:40,841 --> 00:07:42,536
We haven't spoken
for three years.
148
00:07:42,909 --> 00:07:45,935
I'm sorry, I'm not exactly the
right guy to give the eulogy.
149
00:07:46,279 --> 00:07:49,646
If you were my kid, I would have lost
your number the day you learned to talk.
150
00:07:50,617 --> 00:07:52,312
Do you know anything
about Tony Rosatti?
151
00:07:52,853 --> 00:07:54,150
ED: Why don't you tell us?
152
00:07:54,755 --> 00:07:56,347
Can you spell RICO?
153
00:07:56,490 --> 00:07:58,481
Your father was being
investigated by the Feds?
154
00:07:58,558 --> 00:08:00,527
The Grand Jury's
convened as we speak.
155
00:08:00,928 --> 00:08:03,556
I'm trying to make partner
in a Park Avenue law firm,
156
00:08:03,631 --> 00:08:06,759
and dear old Dad's being
indicted by the US Attorney.
157
00:08:06,834 --> 00:08:08,768
Well, it looks like
you finally caught a break.
158
00:08:09,637 --> 00:08:12,197
About time the old man
came through for me.
159
00:08:16,310 --> 00:08:19,143
It's a broad-based investigation
into the building trades.
160
00:08:19,414 --> 00:08:22,042
Racketeering in the building
trades? I'm shocked.
161
00:08:22,116 --> 00:08:23,606
Tony Rosatti was mobbed up.
162
00:08:23,918 --> 00:08:25,385
He bought concrete, didn't he?
163
00:08:25,453 --> 00:08:28,513
In his line of work, it's hard to avoid
our friends with the broken noses.
164
00:08:28,589 --> 00:08:30,557
Just how well-connected
was he?
165
00:08:30,625 --> 00:08:32,718
He's a pimple on
the ass of organized crime,
166
00:08:32,794 --> 00:08:34,284
hardly a flicker on
the Richter Scale.
167
00:08:34,562 --> 00:08:36,523
ED: His son seemed to think
he was being indicted.
168
00:08:36,699 --> 00:08:37,825
We're casting a wide net.
169
00:08:38,567 --> 00:08:40,967
You think his murder has something
to do with our investigation?
170
00:08:41,036 --> 00:08:43,231
Why not?
If he started to talk.
171
00:08:43,305 --> 00:08:44,294
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Excuse me.
172
00:08:44,373 --> 00:08:46,568
Anybody Tony could
give us, we already got.
173
00:08:46,642 --> 00:08:48,974
The guys we're really interested in
wouldn't have wasted the hardware.
174
00:08:49,044 --> 00:08:51,308
Lennie. Guess who
just showed up?
175
00:08:52,247 --> 00:08:53,247
Thanks.
176
00:08:53,882 --> 00:08:56,442
I changed my mind about going
to the spa at the last minute.
177
00:08:56,518 --> 00:08:57,610
ED: Where'd you go?
178
00:08:57,686 --> 00:08:58,686
Bermuda.
179
00:08:59,588 --> 00:09:03,046
Uh, we're gonna need details. Where
you stayed, that sort of thing.
180
00:09:03,425 --> 00:09:04,653
Am I a suspect?
181
00:09:04,727 --> 00:09:07,355
Wives who kill their husbands?
It's been known to happen.
182
00:09:07,429 --> 00:09:11,161
Actually, Mrs. Rosatti, we are
trying to cross you off the list.
183
00:09:11,234 --> 00:09:12,724
I appreciate that.
184
00:09:12,802 --> 00:09:15,236
I have my hotel bill,
plane ticket.
185
00:09:15,538 --> 00:09:16,698
ED: That'll do.
186
00:09:17,474 --> 00:09:18,474
Just a minute.
187
00:09:20,577 --> 00:09:22,169
Did you go to Bermuda alone?
188
00:09:22,245 --> 00:09:23,473
Alone, yes.
189
00:09:23,546 --> 00:09:27,107
I needed to get away for a few
days, think about things.
190
00:09:28,318 --> 00:09:32,049
All right, plane ticket
and hotel bill, um...
191
00:09:33,456 --> 00:09:34,514
What's this?
192
00:09:34,591 --> 00:09:37,082
It's a list of items
stolen in the robbery.
193
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,720
Jewelry, silver,
irreplaceable heirlooms.
194
00:09:40,830 --> 00:09:43,697
I know you need a police report
before you file an insurance claim.
195
00:09:45,168 --> 00:09:48,661
This lady makes an insurance claim before
she takes care of the funeral arrangements.
196
00:09:48,739 --> 00:09:49,899
Have you ever been to Bermuda?
197
00:09:49,974 --> 00:09:52,704
Ah, I'm not a sand and
sun block kind of guy.
198
00:09:52,777 --> 00:09:54,768
Well, it's close enough
to go, check into a hotel,
199
00:09:54,845 --> 00:09:56,642
slip back into
the city Saturday night,
200
00:09:56,714 --> 00:09:59,512
pop the old man, and get back
to Bermuda by Sunday brunch.
201
00:09:59,984 --> 00:10:02,748
Hey, Sherri's not
Miss Congeniality,
202
00:10:02,820 --> 00:10:04,219
but she's not a pro either.
203
00:10:04,655 --> 00:10:07,647
Let's go find out who she was
sipping piña coladas with.
204
00:10:11,295 --> 00:10:15,493
Here we go. Mrs. Rosatti traveled
to Bermuda Friday the 9th,
205
00:10:15,599 --> 00:10:20,002
returning to New York today,
Tuesday the 13th, in first class.
206
00:10:20,104 --> 00:10:23,768
Did she come back to New York
anytime between Friday and today?
207
00:10:24,109 --> 00:10:25,269
Not with us.
208
00:10:25,343 --> 00:10:26,970
But let me check
the other carriers.
209
00:10:27,045 --> 00:10:28,410
You can do that?
210
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,108
What? Planes aren't allowed
on the information highway?
211
00:10:32,951 --> 00:10:36,443
Looks like Mrs. Rosatti enjoyed
four consecutive days in paradise.
212
00:10:36,521 --> 00:10:38,648
Does that highway say
who she sat next to?
213
00:10:38,723 --> 00:10:40,281
Tells me his shoe size.
214
00:10:42,527 --> 00:10:45,860
Here we go, uh, Mr. Porter.
Randy Porter.
215
00:10:46,298 --> 00:10:48,926
Look at that,
both coming and going.
216
00:10:49,367 --> 00:10:52,165
Long weekend, small plane,
could be a coincidence?
217
00:10:52,237 --> 00:10:53,499
I don't think so.
218
00:10:53,572 --> 00:10:55,301
It's the same
credit card number.
219
00:10:55,373 --> 00:10:56,863
She paid for his ticket.
220
00:10:56,942 --> 00:10:58,410
BRISCOE: Thank you very much.
221
00:10:59,245 --> 00:11:02,146
Well, May-December romance,
you know what they say.
222
00:11:02,215 --> 00:11:04,615
Well, you're the matrimonial
expert. You tell me.
223
00:11:04,684 --> 00:11:06,413
Cherchez le pre-nup.
224
00:11:08,855 --> 00:11:11,585
Pre-nup, pre-nup.
Don't leave home without it.
225
00:11:11,657 --> 00:11:13,318
I take it Tony Rosatti had one?
226
00:11:13,392 --> 00:11:15,383
Well, if one out of two
marriages goes down in flames,
227
00:11:15,461 --> 00:11:17,053
you're be a horse's ass not to.
228
00:11:17,129 --> 00:11:19,890
He just wanted to make sure that she
couldn't take him to the cleaners.
229
00:11:19,932 --> 00:11:20,932
Tell us about it.
230
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,696
For the most part,
a sliding scale of alimony
231
00:11:23,769 --> 00:11:25,566
depending on the number of
years they're married.
232
00:11:25,638 --> 00:11:26,935
BRISCOE: And what about
the other part?
233
00:11:27,006 --> 00:11:29,975
Well, since the first Mrs.
Rosatti screwed around on him,
234
00:11:30,376 --> 00:11:32,640
Tony insisted
on a special clause.
235
00:11:33,112 --> 00:11:35,513
Genius if you ask me.
I call it the Rosatti clause.
236
00:11:36,216 --> 00:11:38,946
Now I insist that all of clients
include it in their pre-nups.
237
00:11:39,019 --> 00:11:40,019
And that is?
238
00:11:40,087 --> 00:11:41,384
She cheats, she gets squat.
239
00:11:41,488 --> 00:11:43,012
Tony Rosatti have a will, too?
240
00:11:43,090 --> 00:11:45,320
Will. Will.
Don't leave home...
241
00:11:45,392 --> 00:11:47,792
Yeah, yeah.
We know. We know.
242
00:11:47,861 --> 00:11:49,089
Sherri gets it all.
243
00:11:49,162 --> 00:11:51,596
Which makes for one merry widow.
244
00:11:51,665 --> 00:11:54,793
Well, although a couple weeks from now,
it would've been a whole other story.
245
00:11:54,868 --> 00:11:56,961
Why, Tony was getting
ready to divorce her?
246
00:11:57,037 --> 00:11:59,801
He said, and I quote,
247
00:11:59,873 --> 00:12:02,273
"That slut won't get
a penny from me."
248
00:12:02,342 --> 00:12:04,242
Which under the Rosatti
clause means that
249
00:12:04,311 --> 00:12:06,006
he knew that
she was having an affair?
250
00:12:06,079 --> 00:12:09,811
Well, he must have. He hired a
private investigator to follow her.
251
00:12:11,119 --> 00:12:12,450
Briscoe.
252
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,217
I remember you. It was that thing
with the thing and what's her name.
253
00:12:16,291 --> 00:12:18,316
No, you must be thinking
of somebody else.
254
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,791
Damn. I could have sworn
that was you.
255
00:12:20,862 --> 00:12:23,126
This is my partner, Ed Green.
256
00:12:23,364 --> 00:12:24,695
Pleasure.
How you doing, man?
257
00:12:24,766 --> 00:12:26,529
So we hear that you worked
for Tony Rosatti?
258
00:12:26,801 --> 00:12:29,793
Yeah, a guy you wouldn't mind
having a beer with. It's a shame.
259
00:12:29,871 --> 00:12:31,668
So, uh, what can I do you for?
260
00:12:31,739 --> 00:12:33,502
What do you know
about Mrs. Rosatti?
261
00:12:33,574 --> 00:12:35,667
Oh, she whacked him,
no question.
262
00:12:35,743 --> 00:12:36,835
You're sure of that?
263
00:12:36,911 --> 00:12:38,071
Twenty years on the job
264
00:12:38,146 --> 00:12:40,944
and another 10 years doing
matrimonial private peeping,
265
00:12:41,015 --> 00:12:43,813
you get a sense of
who the bad actors are.
266
00:12:43,885 --> 00:12:45,751
And Sherri was
less than faithful?
267
00:12:45,821 --> 00:12:50,690
Oh, you know that old song You Call It
Jogging, But I Call It Running Around.
268
00:12:50,926 --> 00:12:53,554
I assume by that you don't
mean she was staying in shape.
269
00:12:53,629 --> 00:12:56,325
Oh, she was in great shape,
all right. See for yourself.
270
00:12:56,398 --> 00:12:57,398
Ooh.
(CHUCKLES)
271
00:12:58,133 --> 00:13:00,761
BRISCOE: This guy's name
wouldn't be Porter, would it?
272
00:13:00,836 --> 00:13:02,861
FORSYTHE: Randy Porter,
as a matter of fact.
273
00:13:02,938 --> 00:13:03,938
And get this.
274
00:13:04,006 --> 00:13:06,099
Not only is he
banging the guy's bride,
275
00:13:06,175 --> 00:13:07,870
he worked for
the poor bastard, too.
276
00:13:08,510 --> 00:13:10,171
Talk about double dipping.
277
00:13:14,216 --> 00:13:17,276
I've been with Rosatti Builders since '99.
I'm an electrician.
278
00:13:17,353 --> 00:13:18,673
Did you get to know
the boss well?
279
00:13:18,854 --> 00:13:22,689
Well, he was the boss,
I was a peon, you know?
280
00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:24,090
Yeah, I hear you.
281
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,822
My lieutenant wouldn't let me
anywhere near her dinner table.
282
00:13:26,896 --> 00:13:28,625
They say the class system
is dead.
283
00:13:28,698 --> 00:13:30,928
Hey, did the wife
come around a lot?
284
00:13:31,001 --> 00:13:34,562
Mrs. Rosatti at a job site?
I don't think so.
285
00:13:35,438 --> 00:13:38,066
She's a "tea at the Helmsley
Palace" type, you know?
286
00:13:38,141 --> 00:13:39,403
Mmm, wouldn't want
to break a heel?
287
00:13:39,476 --> 00:13:40,534
Exactly.
288
00:13:40,610 --> 00:13:42,976
I don't know. She didn't
look too genteel to me,
289
00:13:43,046 --> 00:13:44,775
especially this one on the sink.
290
00:13:48,752 --> 00:13:50,242
I know what this looks like.
291
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,344
So do we, Randy.
292
00:13:51,421 --> 00:13:54,447
Look, uh, I did some
work at his house,
293
00:13:54,524 --> 00:13:56,288
and me and Sherri, we kind of hit it off.
That's all.
294
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,588
I'd say so.
295
00:13:58,029 --> 00:13:59,860
Look, it wasn't
a big deal, okay?
296
00:14:01,098 --> 00:14:03,157
Besides, I wasn't even in the
country when Tony was killed.
297
00:14:03,267 --> 00:14:06,361
You know, that is the first thing that
you've said that I actually believe.
298
00:14:06,437 --> 00:14:08,757
Yeah, you and Sherri had to get
your alibis straight, right?
299
00:14:08,906 --> 00:14:10,203
Why would we do that?
300
00:14:10,274 --> 00:14:12,504
Because Tony made Sherri
sign a pre-nup.
301
00:14:12,777 --> 00:14:16,736
If she gets caught cheating, she walks
away with just the clothes on her back.
302
00:14:17,148 --> 00:14:20,379
Are you saying we killed Tony before
he had a chance to divorce her?
303
00:14:20,451 --> 00:14:22,385
Hey, I saw Body Heat
three times.
304
00:14:22,453 --> 00:14:25,445
Not for nothing, but Sherri
was planning on dumping him.
305
00:14:25,523 --> 00:14:26,649
BRISCOE: For who? You?
306
00:14:29,894 --> 00:14:32,159
I think I want to call a lawyer.
307
00:14:32,230 --> 00:14:33,629
Excuse me.
308
00:14:39,704 --> 00:14:41,569
You know what they charge
for a drink in this place?
309
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,868
Why do you think I quit?
310
00:14:43,842 --> 00:14:45,139
Thank you for meeting me here.
311
00:14:45,210 --> 00:14:47,178
The house, it gives me
the willies since...
312
00:14:47,412 --> 00:14:49,778
Well, yeah, I could say the
same about this place.
313
00:14:49,848 --> 00:14:50,940
Can I get you something?
314
00:14:51,016 --> 00:14:52,016
No, that's all right.
315
00:14:52,517 --> 00:14:56,078
No, me? I'm still working off the
one I finished six years ago.
316
00:14:57,756 --> 00:14:59,690
Randy called me.
He said he talked to you.
317
00:14:59,758 --> 00:15:01,726
Yeah. He told us
about you two.
318
00:15:03,728 --> 00:15:05,252
Have you ever been lonely?
319
00:15:05,964 --> 00:15:07,933
Tony was always working.
320
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,720
Well, that's usually
how the bills get paid.
321
00:15:09,769 --> 00:15:10,963
Maybe your bills.
322
00:15:11,370 --> 00:15:13,270
Sure, construction
is up and down,
323
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,139
but for Tony, it's been down and
downer since the dot com bubble burst.
324
00:15:17,477 --> 00:15:18,808
You're saying
he was going broke?
325
00:15:19,011 --> 00:15:20,945
His company was
this close to Chapter Eleven.
326
00:15:22,115 --> 00:15:25,516
I hate to point it out, but that's
a $12 drink you're sipping.
327
00:15:25,585 --> 00:15:27,246
And it might be my last.
328
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,185
Two mortgages on the house,
329
00:15:29,255 --> 00:15:32,156
money from the second
re-fi is just about gone.
330
00:15:32,792 --> 00:15:34,384
Why would I kill Tony?
331
00:15:34,961 --> 00:15:36,292
The pre-nup was moot.
332
00:15:36,729 --> 00:15:37,821
He didn't have a dime.
333
00:15:37,930 --> 00:15:39,989
What about that fancy
townhouse of yours?
334
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:42,230
The bank's about
to foreclose on it.
335
00:15:43,770 --> 00:15:45,829
Look, Tony lived
one month to the next.
336
00:15:47,307 --> 00:15:48,934
He had some friends
who helped him out.
337
00:15:49,243 --> 00:15:51,837
Friends with, uh, broken noses?
338
00:15:51,912 --> 00:15:53,106
He grew up in Red Hook.
339
00:15:53,180 --> 00:15:55,614
ED: Any of these friends
friendlier than the rest?
340
00:15:57,951 --> 00:16:00,613
See that spot right
out there in the middle?
341
00:16:01,255 --> 00:16:04,190
That's where they fished my old
man's old man outta the river.
342
00:16:04,925 --> 00:16:06,586
Look, Mr. Vignerelli.
343
00:16:06,660 --> 00:16:09,652
No, no. Vig, Bobby Vig.
Everybody calls me "Bobby Vig."
344
00:16:09,730 --> 00:16:11,925
How appropriate
for a loan shark.
345
00:16:11,999 --> 00:16:13,296
Hey, if the shoe fits.
346
00:16:13,367 --> 00:16:16,803
I'm not ashamed of it. I gotta feed
my family. It's my profession, huh?
347
00:16:16,870 --> 00:16:19,431
Look, we need to talk
to you about Tony Rosatti.
348
00:16:20,742 --> 00:16:22,039
Ah, Tone...
349
00:16:22,544 --> 00:16:24,375
What a shame. What are
you gonna do?
350
00:16:24,445 --> 00:16:26,208
You two go way back, do you?
351
00:16:26,281 --> 00:16:27,873
As far back as the womb.
352
00:16:27,949 --> 00:16:31,316
His father and my father used to
hijack trucks together outta Idlewild.
353
00:16:32,253 --> 00:16:33,550
The ties that bind.
354
00:16:34,022 --> 00:16:37,355
Mrs. Rosatti says that you might
have lent Tony some money?
355
00:16:37,425 --> 00:16:38,985
Yeah, I did. He was
a friend in trouble.
356
00:16:39,060 --> 00:16:40,891
I mean,
it's the right thing to do.
357
00:16:41,663 --> 00:16:42,857
Well, how much trouble?
358
00:16:43,531 --> 00:16:45,499
A month's payroll.
It was no big deal.
359
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,468
You charge him the usual 100%
interest compounded weekly?
360
00:16:49,537 --> 00:16:51,835
He was a friend.
One point over prime.
361
00:16:51,906 --> 00:16:53,898
You and Alan Greenspan, huh?
362
00:16:53,976 --> 00:16:56,001
If it was a stranger, it would
have been a different story.
363
00:16:56,078 --> 00:16:57,511
I wouldn't have been
so generous.
364
00:16:57,580 --> 00:16:59,605
Tony insisted on signing a note.
365
00:16:59,682 --> 00:17:01,445
He wanted to
keep everything legit.
366
00:17:01,517 --> 00:17:03,508
So, now you got to chase the
estate for your dough, right?
367
00:17:03,586 --> 00:17:06,851
I don't have to chase anything.
Sherri'll take care of me.
368
00:17:06,922 --> 00:17:08,048
ED: With what?
369
00:17:09,058 --> 00:17:11,026
Are you guys with the IRS?
370
00:17:11,460 --> 00:17:13,155
No, we never touch the stuff.
371
00:17:13,229 --> 00:17:14,321
See, you don't know about Tony.
372
00:17:14,396 --> 00:17:18,457
He always had a few bucks stashed away
under the table in case of a rainy day.
373
00:17:18,534 --> 00:17:20,866
But he put the account
under Sherri's name,
374
00:17:20,936 --> 00:17:22,733
so the FBI couldn't touch it.
375
00:17:22,805 --> 00:17:24,500
You wouldn't happen to know
the name of the bank
376
00:17:24,573 --> 00:17:26,700
this rainy day account
was in, would you?
377
00:17:31,047 --> 00:17:33,880
Looks like cash deposits
were made on a regular basis.
378
00:17:33,950 --> 00:17:35,918
Let me guess.
All under $10,000.
379
00:17:35,986 --> 00:17:37,906
GAIL: Who needs all that
pesky Federal paperwork?
380
00:17:37,954 --> 00:17:39,285
What about withdrawals?
381
00:17:43,193 --> 00:17:46,629
Hardly anything.
$100 here, $200 there.
382
00:17:47,831 --> 00:17:49,321
Interesting.
383
00:17:49,399 --> 00:17:53,301
About three months ago she wired
$50,000 to another account.
384
00:17:53,370 --> 00:17:56,203
According to the routing number,
it's an off-shore bank.
385
00:17:57,173 --> 00:17:59,004
The Turks and Caicos.
386
00:18:01,745 --> 00:18:05,876
She wires 50Gs out of the country
without leaving the comforts of home.
387
00:18:05,950 --> 00:18:07,781
You could do that by fax?
388
00:18:07,852 --> 00:18:11,811
Hah! I need three kinds of ID just to transfer
a few bucks from savings to checking.
389
00:18:12,256 --> 00:18:15,054
Whoo. And we don't know whose
name is on that account?
390
00:18:15,126 --> 00:18:16,923
Oh, that's the beauty of
off-shore banking.
391
00:18:16,994 --> 00:18:19,258
And you think she used
the money to hire a hit man?
392
00:18:19,363 --> 00:18:21,888
Fifty grand will buy a lot of
professional expertise.
393
00:18:21,999 --> 00:18:25,400
But Mrs. Rosatti knew her husband's
business was on the skids.
394
00:18:25,469 --> 00:18:28,097
She knew she wasn't going to get anything.
Why would she have him killed?
395
00:18:28,172 --> 00:18:30,402
Hey, he had one rainy day
fund that we know about.
396
00:18:30,474 --> 00:18:31,907
Maybe he had more.
397
00:18:31,976 --> 00:18:34,342
Ed's been over at his office,
checking his financial records.
398
00:18:34,412 --> 00:18:37,108
Where the hell are the
Turks and Caicos anyway?
399
00:18:37,181 --> 00:18:38,614
Somewhere in the Sargasso Sea.
400
00:18:38,683 --> 00:18:39,683
Which is?
401
00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:41,150
I know it's out past Queens.
402
00:18:41,219 --> 00:18:43,710
This guy was drowning
in red ink.
403
00:18:43,789 --> 00:18:45,484
But he did have
a safe-deposit box.
404
00:18:45,557 --> 00:18:47,889
BRISCOE: Account number two,
under the radar.
405
00:18:48,593 --> 00:18:50,356
I'll call for a warrant.
406
00:18:51,563 --> 00:18:53,929
BRISCOE: How much do you want
to bet most of these sparklers
407
00:18:53,999 --> 00:18:55,967
were on Sherri's list
for the insurance company?
408
00:18:56,034 --> 00:18:59,197
Well, if we can't get her for the
murder, maybe we'll get her for fraud.
409
00:18:59,471 --> 00:19:04,033
Deed for the townhouse,
auto insurance, liability.
410
00:19:04,242 --> 00:19:05,242
Life?
411
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:09,041
Yeah, a whole life policy,
issued 1994.
412
00:19:09,648 --> 00:19:12,208
Half a mil, beneficiary
Sherri Rosatti.
413
00:19:12,317 --> 00:19:13,807
That sounds like motive to me.
414
00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:15,911
Whoa, here's a better one.
415
00:19:16,756 --> 00:19:20,351
Term policy, issued
six months ago,
416
00:19:20,426 --> 00:19:22,826
death benefit $3 million.
417
00:19:22,895 --> 00:19:25,557
I bet I can guess
who the beneficiary is.
418
00:19:26,566 --> 00:19:29,694
Rosatti told his insurance
agent that Sherri
419
00:19:29,769 --> 00:19:32,567
had been nagging him to
take on the new policy
420
00:19:32,638 --> 00:19:34,663
because his business
was in trouble
421
00:19:34,741 --> 00:19:37,073
and she wanted to be protected in
case something happened to him.
422
00:19:37,143 --> 00:19:38,337
Why hasn't she filed a claim?
423
00:19:38,411 --> 00:19:41,710
Waiting for the dust to settle,
doesn't want to raise any flags.
424
00:19:41,781 --> 00:19:43,248
Then you think
she hired a hit man.
425
00:19:43,316 --> 00:19:47,343
$50,000 wired to an
unnamed, off-shore account?
426
00:19:47,420 --> 00:19:48,910
What do you think?
427
00:19:49,622 --> 00:19:51,614
Between the war on drugs
and the war on terrorism,
428
00:19:51,692 --> 00:19:53,592
bank secrecy isn't
what it used to be.
429
00:19:54,061 --> 00:19:56,825
So, if we can convince the
authorities in the Turks and Caicos
430
00:19:56,897 --> 00:19:59,161
that this money
financed a felony...
431
00:20:01,435 --> 00:20:03,835
Come on, Raymond.
How often do I come to you?
432
00:20:03,904 --> 00:20:05,030
Not often enough.
433
00:20:05,539 --> 00:20:08,838
A call from a U.S. Attorney of your stature,
and we could solve a murder for hire.
434
00:20:08,909 --> 00:20:11,537
I love it when you flatter me.
Let me see the account number.
435
00:20:12,679 --> 00:20:16,012
This suspect transferred money to this
account a few months before the murder.
436
00:20:19,386 --> 00:20:22,219
First, let's see if we've done business
with the account holder before.
437
00:20:23,424 --> 00:20:25,449
Tell me you know who it is.
438
00:20:25,526 --> 00:20:28,792
I'll do you one better. I'll introduce
you to him, up close and personal.
439
00:20:28,863 --> 00:20:29,863
You are kidding.
440
00:20:30,365 --> 00:20:32,230
Mr. James Astangura.
441
00:20:32,300 --> 00:20:35,201
He wouldn't by any chance be a
professional hit man, would he?
442
00:20:35,270 --> 00:20:38,239
Recently retired. Buried 12
guys we know of, so far.
443
00:20:38,306 --> 00:20:40,946
Right now, he's eating three squares
a day compliments of Uncle Sam.
444
00:20:41,409 --> 00:20:43,309
How long you been
footing the bill?
445
00:20:43,378 --> 00:20:45,903
Going on two months. You
wouldn't know it to look at him,
446
00:20:45,980 --> 00:20:48,574
but Jamie's got a beautiful singing voice.
Tenor, I think.
447
00:20:48,650 --> 00:20:49,844
We just can't get enough.
448
00:20:49,918 --> 00:20:51,886
If he's been locked up in
Federal prison for two months,
449
00:20:51,953 --> 00:20:54,012
how did he kill my guy
last week?
450
00:20:59,761 --> 00:21:04,256
I wonder if Mr. Astangura's work
comes with a money-back guarantee?
451
00:21:04,533 --> 00:21:08,230
He promised somebody that Tony Rosatti
would end up dead, which he did.
452
00:21:08,704 --> 00:21:11,537
So, it looks like Astangura
fulfilled his end of the bargain.
453
00:21:12,141 --> 00:21:14,006
From the Federal penitentiary?
454
00:21:14,343 --> 00:21:16,072
Who knows? Maybe
he farmed the job out.
455
00:21:16,312 --> 00:21:17,939
Contractor to subcontractor.
456
00:21:18,013 --> 00:21:19,674
It's a business like
any other business.
457
00:21:19,748 --> 00:21:23,275
And a lot more exciting than
making widgets, I suppose.
458
00:21:24,386 --> 00:21:26,013
Talk to
Mr. Astangura.
459
00:21:26,088 --> 00:21:27,988
Yeah, and why would
he tell us anything?
460
00:21:28,224 --> 00:21:30,385
Brownie points with
the U.S. District Attorney.
461
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,128
He's naming names.
What's one more?
462
00:21:37,099 --> 00:21:38,624
Great thing about
this line of work.
463
00:21:39,169 --> 00:21:42,229
People you don't know are
always wiring you money.
464
00:21:42,772 --> 00:21:44,797
It's nice to meet a man
who enjoys his work.
465
00:21:45,141 --> 00:21:46,267
Yeah, I'm blessed.
466
00:21:47,477 --> 00:21:49,672
We'd like to talk to you
about Tony Rosatti.
467
00:21:50,313 --> 00:21:52,577
I'd love to give you
your quid, missy,
468
00:21:52,649 --> 00:21:54,617
but I don't see
no pro quo on the table.
469
00:21:55,051 --> 00:21:57,349
I assume this goes
in the "credit" column?
470
00:21:57,420 --> 00:21:58,887
As long as your client
keeps telling the truth,
471
00:21:58,955 --> 00:22:01,014
he keeps racking up
the frequent flyer miles.
472
00:22:04,060 --> 00:22:08,793
I'll have to check my Palm Pilot but, yeah,
Tony Rosatti was on my "to do" list.
473
00:22:09,032 --> 00:22:12,798
Unfortunately, Mr. Berman here and
his friends screwed up my schedule.
474
00:22:12,869 --> 00:22:16,101
Well, it seems one of your
associates picked up your slack.
475
00:22:17,408 --> 00:22:18,670
What's she saying?
476
00:22:19,410 --> 00:22:21,674
Tony Rosatti was murdered
last week.
477
00:22:21,946 --> 00:22:24,176
Son-of-a-bitch lied to me.
478
00:22:24,248 --> 00:22:25,840
He said 50 was all he could pay.
479
00:22:26,083 --> 00:22:27,550
And you know he lied how?
480
00:22:27,752 --> 00:22:29,413
Well, obviously he got antsy
481
00:22:29,487 --> 00:22:31,785
and hired somebody else to do
the job when I didn't show.
482
00:22:31,856 --> 00:22:33,255
You're not too quick, are you?
483
00:22:35,259 --> 00:22:37,284
I thought you would have hired
somebody else to finish...
484
00:22:37,361 --> 00:22:38,919
I work alone.
485
00:22:39,564 --> 00:22:42,260
How do you think I lasted
in the business for 15 years?
486
00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:45,892
You said "he." Were you
talking about Randy Porter?
487
00:22:45,970 --> 00:22:46,994
How should I know?
488
00:22:47,071 --> 00:22:48,629
Don't you know who hires you?
489
00:22:49,207 --> 00:22:51,903
Maybe you should tell Ms.
Southerlyn how it works, Jamie.
490
00:22:54,379 --> 00:22:55,676
You're the client.
491
00:22:56,181 --> 00:22:58,741
You go to somebody you trust
and say, "I got a problem."
492
00:22:59,418 --> 00:23:03,013
Your friend says, "Okay, buy a throwaway
cell and give me the number."
493
00:23:03,522 --> 00:23:07,219
Then your friend calls somebody who
calls somebody who calls somebody,
494
00:23:07,292 --> 00:23:08,292
who calls me.
495
00:23:09,528 --> 00:23:11,587
And you're the guy that can
take care of my problem?
496
00:23:11,663 --> 00:23:12,687
Right.
497
00:23:12,764 --> 00:23:14,891
Then I call you back
on the throwaway cell.
498
00:23:15,367 --> 00:23:17,358
You give me the name
and address of your problem,
499
00:23:17,436 --> 00:23:20,098
I give you the number of
an off-shore bank account.
500
00:23:20,172 --> 00:23:21,537
You wire me the money.
501
00:23:21,607 --> 00:23:22,835
And then what happens?
502
00:23:22,908 --> 00:23:25,537
You throw the cell
down a storm drain and wait.
503
00:23:26,913 --> 00:23:28,574
Sooner or later, it gets done.
504
00:23:29,382 --> 00:23:30,872
But you do talk to the client?
505
00:23:31,184 --> 00:23:32,481
Just that once.
506
00:23:33,019 --> 00:23:36,477
But I don't know his name, and he
definitely does not know mine.
507
00:23:37,023 --> 00:23:39,048
Do you still have
the cell phone number?
508
00:23:43,329 --> 00:23:44,329
(INAUDIBLE)
509
00:23:45,565 --> 00:23:47,032
Got it all up here.
510
00:23:47,300 --> 00:23:48,927
So this last person
in the chain,
511
00:23:49,002 --> 00:23:51,129
the guy that calls you and gave you
the client's cell phone number?
512
00:23:51,204 --> 00:23:52,569
I'm gonna wanna talk to him.
513
00:23:53,006 --> 00:23:55,474
Well, maybe you better call that
514
00:23:55,541 --> 00:23:58,169
Jamaican mama on the
infomercial, the psychic?
515
00:23:58,244 --> 00:24:00,543
Or, uh, maybe John Edward?
516
00:24:01,148 --> 00:24:02,148
What are you saying?
517
00:24:02,549 --> 00:24:03,914
Alberto Dosso.
518
00:24:04,351 --> 00:24:07,445
He was shivved in Allenwood
two weeks ago. He's dead.
519
00:24:12,426 --> 00:24:13,984
Do you believe him?
520
00:24:14,061 --> 00:24:17,224
Well, he has no reason to lie, and
he's admitted to everything else.
521
00:24:18,465 --> 00:24:21,593
Mrs. Rosatti and her boyfriend
obviously got tired of waiting
522
00:24:22,336 --> 00:24:23,769
and went somewhere else.
523
00:24:24,104 --> 00:24:27,232
How? By tiptoeing through
the Yellow Pages under "H"?
524
00:24:27,508 --> 00:24:29,999
Mrs. Rosatti went to
Brearly and Mount Holyoke.
525
00:24:30,077 --> 00:24:31,942
How would she know
how to find a hit man?
526
00:24:32,846 --> 00:24:34,006
Porter worked in construction.
527
00:24:34,048 --> 00:24:35,914
He might have the contacts
to get this done.
528
00:24:35,984 --> 00:24:38,282
And that's enough for a warrant?
He worked in construction?
529
00:24:40,121 --> 00:24:41,611
These days it is.
530
00:24:45,827 --> 00:24:47,419
You like guns, huh?
531
00:24:47,495 --> 00:24:48,928
So does our President.
532
00:24:48,997 --> 00:24:49,997
I didn't vote for him.
533
00:24:51,199 --> 00:24:53,667
Look, I don't know what you guys
are expecting to find here.
534
00:24:56,538 --> 00:24:57,538
Lennie.
535
00:24:57,972 --> 00:25:01,408
The whole point of a throwaway cell phone,
Randy, is you're supposed to throw it away.
536
00:25:01,476 --> 00:25:02,534
No, that ain't mine.
537
00:25:02,610 --> 00:25:03,668
I don't know how it got there.
538
00:25:03,745 --> 00:25:06,009
I don't think the maid
left it up here.
539
00:25:15,558 --> 00:25:16,558
(RINGING)
540
00:25:17,526 --> 00:25:21,018
Of all the cell phones in all
the gin joints in the world.
541
00:25:21,764 --> 00:25:22,788
What's this guy talking about?
542
00:25:22,865 --> 00:25:24,526
Why don't you explain it
to him, Lennie?
543
00:25:24,633 --> 00:25:26,658
Randy Porter, you're under arrest...
What?
544
00:25:26,736 --> 00:25:28,966
for the murder of Tony Rosatti.
What?
545
00:25:29,038 --> 00:25:30,869
You have the right to remain silent.
Oh, man!
546
00:25:30,940 --> 00:25:34,000
Anything you do say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.
547
00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:35,777
A $10 phone?
548
00:25:35,845 --> 00:25:37,779
That's why you're ruining
my client's life?
549
00:25:37,847 --> 00:25:40,145
Actually, we're interested in the
call that your client received
550
00:25:40,216 --> 00:25:42,411
on that phone
from Jamie Astangura.
551
00:25:42,485 --> 00:25:43,816
Never heard of him.
552
00:25:44,754 --> 00:25:46,450
We know you didn't
know his name.
553
00:25:47,290 --> 00:25:49,224
Well, this makes sense.
554
00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:52,551
Mr. Astangura was the last
link in a chain that started
555
00:25:52,662 --> 00:25:55,893
with your client and ended with
the murder of Tony Rosatti.
556
00:25:55,966 --> 00:25:57,695
That certainly clears is all up.
557
00:25:57,968 --> 00:26:00,334
Mr. Astangura is
a professional hit man.
558
00:26:00,771 --> 00:26:02,466
What? Whoa.
559
00:26:02,539 --> 00:26:03,597
What are you saying?
560
00:26:03,673 --> 00:26:05,903
You think I paid to have Tony hit?
What are you, out of your skull?
561
00:26:05,976 --> 00:26:09,207
No, actually, I think
Mrs. Rosatti was the bankroll
562
00:26:09,312 --> 00:26:12,112
and you made the arrangements from the
phone we found in your apartment.
563
00:26:12,115 --> 00:26:14,242
Look, like I told the cops, I don't
know how that phone got there.
564
00:26:14,317 --> 00:26:16,157
And I believe you just
about as much as they do.
565
00:26:19,222 --> 00:26:20,814
I can't believe
she's doing this to me.
566
00:26:22,326 --> 00:26:23,953
And I thought she loved me.
567
00:26:25,830 --> 00:26:28,594
She's setting me up, don't you see?
It had to be her.
568
00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:32,501
How would Mrs. Rosatti even begin
to know where to hire a hit man?
569
00:26:32,904 --> 00:26:35,304
How would I? I don't know
anybody like that.
570
00:26:41,212 --> 00:26:43,043
Look, Ms. Southerlyn...
571
00:26:43,114 --> 00:26:44,114
RANDY: Her father.
572
00:26:46,617 --> 00:26:47,617
What about him?
573
00:26:48,820 --> 00:26:50,048
Her father's a cop.
574
00:26:52,456 --> 00:26:54,219
Cops know bad guys, right?
575
00:26:56,093 --> 00:26:59,552
Detective Jerry Malick,
on the job in the 116,
576
00:26:59,631 --> 00:27:01,326
did his 20 and out.
577
00:27:01,700 --> 00:27:04,669
His last assignment was
organized crime, undercover.
578
00:27:05,437 --> 00:27:08,406
I'd say that would have put him into
contact with the right kind of people.
579
00:27:08,507 --> 00:27:10,498
Well, he has an
unblemished record.
580
00:27:10,576 --> 00:27:12,703
Why would he get involved in
something like this now?
581
00:27:13,478 --> 00:27:17,175
Either he loves his daughter, or
$3 million in insurance money.
582
00:27:17,282 --> 00:27:19,147
One of the two, or both.
583
00:27:25,724 --> 00:27:27,692
MALICK: I did my time
under Schiff.
584
00:27:27,793 --> 00:27:29,385
He's a smart man,
585
00:27:29,995 --> 00:27:32,691
but he took the criminal's
rights a little too seriously.
586
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,192
I could think of a dozen
guys still on the street
587
00:27:35,268 --> 00:27:37,028
because he said our arrests
weren't righteous.
588
00:27:38,104 --> 00:27:39,662
Hmm. Like Jamie Astangura?
589
00:27:40,139 --> 00:27:42,869
Ooh, there's a name
I haven't heard in years.
590
00:27:44,310 --> 00:27:46,278
Astangura's a hitter, a pro.
591
00:27:47,347 --> 00:27:49,110
Did he have something to do
with Tony's murder?
592
00:27:49,182 --> 00:27:51,514
Well, somebody hired him,
or tried to.
593
00:27:51,584 --> 00:27:54,704
But he couldn't have done it because he
was in prison at the time of the murder.
594
00:27:54,787 --> 00:27:55,787
Who hired him?
595
00:27:56,422 --> 00:27:58,788
He doesn't know. He said
it came through cutouts.
596
00:27:58,858 --> 00:28:01,554
So you're telling me that somebody
hired a hitter to take Tony out?
597
00:28:01,961 --> 00:28:03,326
Yeah. You got any thoughts?
598
00:28:03,396 --> 00:28:04,522
On Tony?
599
00:28:05,331 --> 00:28:07,390
He owed money, he cut corners,
600
00:28:07,467 --> 00:28:10,335
he knew creeps. Take your pick,
it could have been anybody.
601
00:28:10,404 --> 00:28:12,084
So, how did you feel
about your son-in-law?
602
00:28:13,340 --> 00:28:16,173
He was older than me by six
months, but love is blind, right?
603
00:28:17,311 --> 00:28:18,311
Sherri loved him?
604
00:28:18,779 --> 00:28:19,779
Sure she did.
605
00:28:20,814 --> 00:28:21,814
Why?
606
00:28:24,785 --> 00:28:29,017
Wait a minute.
What are you getting at?
607
00:28:30,291 --> 00:28:31,291
Why are you here?
608
00:28:31,825 --> 00:28:34,453
I just want to know anything you
can tell me about Jamie Astangura.
609
00:28:35,095 --> 00:28:37,063
You think Sherri hired him,
and I helped her.
610
00:28:37,498 --> 00:28:42,367
Mr. Malick, we have her wire transfer.
She paid him $50,000.
611
00:28:44,339 --> 00:28:46,933
I'm sure there's another explanation.
There's gotta be.
612
00:28:47,008 --> 00:28:50,671
Astangura said that the money was
for the murder of Tony Rosatti.
613
00:28:51,513 --> 00:28:53,606
We'd like to know
how your daughter
614
00:28:53,682 --> 00:28:56,207
knew a man like Astangura,
if it wasn't through you?
615
00:28:59,220 --> 00:29:00,551
Get out of my house.
616
00:29:05,660 --> 00:29:07,594
Malick definitely
knew Jamie Astangura.
617
00:29:07,662 --> 00:29:09,289
Maybe Sherri did, too.
618
00:29:09,364 --> 00:29:10,888
"Take your daughter
to work day."
619
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,391
Even if we prove they hired him,
620
00:29:14,469 --> 00:29:17,404
Astangura didn't kill Tony Rosatti.
Someone else pulled the trigger.
621
00:29:17,472 --> 00:29:19,754
Do you think that we have enough
to convict Sherri Rosatti?
622
00:29:20,176 --> 00:29:22,542
I think that if we slap
some bracelets on her,
623
00:29:22,611 --> 00:29:25,944
we'll hear a whole aria about
who the second hit man was.
624
00:29:26,015 --> 00:29:27,015
Call Van Buren.
625
00:29:29,885 --> 00:29:30,885
That's a great shot.
626
00:29:30,987 --> 00:29:32,352
Can't you see I'm in
the middle of a match?
627

don't you, Lennie?

it's all in the wrist.

Sherri Rosatti, you're under arrest
for the murder of Tony Rosatti.

You have the right
to remain silent.
632
00:29:42,498 --> 00:29:45,296
Anything you say can and will be
held against you in a court of law.

Not guilty.

(BANGS GAVEL)

CLERK: "Docket number 9521..."
648
00:30:27,644 --> 00:30:31,274
Look, say it as much as you want,
I never wired anything to anyone.

00:30:31,349 --> 00:30:33,681
We have your faxed instructions.
650
00:30:33,751 --> 00:30:35,719
Tony had access to
that account, too.
651
00:30:35,787 --> 00:30:40,281
Right. And when he wasn't putting up
sheet rock, he was a master forger.

All I know is, I never signed
any bank instructions.

Of course.
655

Let's look at the facts,
656
00:30:56,340 --> 00:30:59,867
starting with where Mrs. Rosatti
would find Mr. Astragoono
657
00:30:59,944 --> 00:31:00,944
in the first place.
658
00:31:01,012 --> 00:31:02,377
JACK: Astangura.
659
00:31:02,447 --> 00:31:05,848
Whatever. Where would
she hire a hit man?
660
00:31:05,917 --> 00:31:10,446
By a strange coincidence, your
client's father knows Mr. Astangura.
661

contact with him.

He put you in contact
with Astangura?
668
00:31:31,210 --> 00:31:32,472
He asked me for money.
669
00:31:33,412 --> 00:31:36,040
Maybe we should talk?
No. I want to tell him this.
670
00:31:39,184 --> 00:31:45,181
Randy was in trouble. He said he was
in over his head in gambling debts.
671
00:31:45,859 --> 00:31:49,260
He, uh... He said they were gonna
kill him if he didn't pay.
672
00:31:49,496 --> 00:31:50,895
So, you did wire the money?
673
00:31:51,064 --> 00:31:54,261
No, but he knew about the account.
He must have forged my name.
674
00:31:56,136 --> 00:31:57,364
I didn't know...
675
00:31:58,104 --> 00:31:59,765
I didn't know
he would kill Tony.
676
00:32:00,773 --> 00:32:02,741
This is the story
you're sticking with?
677
00:32:05,678 --> 00:32:06,770
It's true.
678
00:32:08,348 --> 00:32:09,474
Somebody's lying.
679
00:32:09,549 --> 00:32:11,710
I'll give you three guesses.
Hint, she's not in this room.
680
00:32:11,784 --> 00:32:13,115
Why would I lie?
681
00:32:13,186 --> 00:32:14,619
Tony dying, what's in it for me?
682
00:32:14,687 --> 00:32:15,687
$3 million.
683
00:32:16,456 --> 00:32:17,457
RANDY: What?
684
00:32:17,725 --> 00:32:19,659
Mr. Rosatti's
life insurance.
685
00:32:19,727 --> 00:32:22,252
Which I'm guessing was
payable to Mrs. Rosatti.
686
00:32:22,329 --> 00:32:24,388
I didn't know anything
about any life insurance.
687
00:32:24,465 --> 00:32:25,557
I think we're done.
688
00:32:25,633 --> 00:32:27,157
SERENA: Fine.
Wait.
689
00:32:33,607 --> 00:32:35,768
I never believed she'd
actually go through with this.
690
00:32:36,644 --> 00:32:38,009
Go through with what?
691
00:32:41,849 --> 00:32:43,111
She was always saying,
692
00:32:44,118 --> 00:32:46,848
"Wouldn't it be great
if Tony were gone?
693
00:32:48,355 --> 00:32:49,754
"We could be together.
694
00:32:52,026 --> 00:32:53,824
"We wouldn't have to
sneak around."
695
00:32:53,895 --> 00:32:57,524
Yeah, and $3 million in a bank
account certainly wouldn't hurt.
696
00:32:57,599 --> 00:32:59,464
I don't know anything
about the insurance.
697
00:33:00,135 --> 00:33:01,329
Believe me.
698
00:33:02,837 --> 00:33:03,963
She's smart.
699
00:33:05,674 --> 00:33:09,610
Look how she set this up
so that, if it went bad,
700
00:33:10,745 --> 00:33:12,076
I'd take the fall.
701
00:33:17,452 --> 00:33:20,148
Blaming each other's a step
in the right direction.
702
00:33:20,222 --> 00:33:22,713
He said, she said. It could
add up to reasonable doubt.
703
00:33:22,791 --> 00:33:25,760
As it stands, we can't prove murder
because we don't have any evidence
704
00:33:25,827 --> 00:33:27,988
as to who really
killed Tony Rosatti.
705
00:33:28,063 --> 00:33:31,192
On the other hand, to prove
conspiracy to commit murder,
706
00:33:31,434 --> 00:33:33,095
we have to show agreement.
707
00:33:33,502 --> 00:33:35,697
And with each of them putting
it all off on the other...
708
00:33:35,838 --> 00:33:38,363
The Rosatti woman
paid Astangura?
709
00:33:38,441 --> 00:33:39,533
JACK: That's right.
710
00:33:39,609 --> 00:33:42,669
And this Porter character
received the call from Astangura?
711
00:33:42,745 --> 00:33:44,372
The cell phone
was in his apartment.
712
00:33:44,947 --> 00:33:47,939
So, even if we can't prove they
conspired with each other,
713
00:33:48,017 --> 00:33:49,575
which we know they did,
714
00:33:49,652 --> 00:33:51,984
we can prove that they
each conspired separately
715
00:33:52,054 --> 00:33:54,386
with our friend
in the Federal pen.
716
00:33:55,091 --> 00:33:57,525
The old un-indicted
co-conspirator game.
717
00:34:00,663 --> 00:34:03,496
Dosso called me. He gave
me a cell phone number.
718
00:34:03,566 --> 00:34:05,000
I called that number.
719
00:34:05,068 --> 00:34:08,970
Whoever it was on the other end told me
he wanted Tony Rosatti taken care of.
720
00:34:09,339 --> 00:34:12,775
Excuse me, Mr. Astangura, by
"taken care of," you mean...
721
00:34:13,110 --> 00:34:15,943
Eliminated. Erased.
722
00:34:17,014 --> 00:34:18,014
Killed.
723
00:34:18,348 --> 00:34:19,828
ASTANGURA: Yeah,
that's right. Killed.
724
00:34:19,850 --> 00:34:21,181
And what did you
tell this person?
725
00:34:21,518 --> 00:34:23,986
I gave him my off-shore
bank account number.
726
00:34:24,488 --> 00:34:27,252
As soon as he wired me the
50 grand, we had a deal.
727
00:34:28,058 --> 00:34:29,855
Is this the number you called?
728
00:34:32,095 --> 00:34:33,095
It is.
729
00:34:34,031 --> 00:34:35,498
Let the record show
730
00:34:36,366 --> 00:34:38,664
that the number
matches People's Three,
731
00:34:39,336 --> 00:34:42,670
the cell phone found in
defendant Porter's apartment.
732
00:34:45,543 --> 00:34:47,340
And did he wire you the money?
733
00:34:47,879 --> 00:34:48,879
He did.
734
00:34:49,847 --> 00:34:51,872
And did you kill
Mr. Rosatti?
735
00:34:52,016 --> 00:34:54,746
I was arrested before I
could execute the contract.
736
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:57,120
That's all.
737
00:34:59,457 --> 00:35:02,358
Just to perfectly clear,
Mr. Astangura,
738
00:35:02,427 --> 00:35:06,090
are you sure you spoke to a man
when you dialed that number?
739
00:35:06,164 --> 00:35:08,564
Yeah, it was a guy.
Definitely.
740
00:35:08,633 --> 00:35:12,330
White guy, New York accent. More
than that I couldn't tell you.
741
00:35:13,438 --> 00:35:15,737
Do you know someone
named Jerry Malick?
742
00:35:17,176 --> 00:35:19,269
I used to know an undercover
cop by that name.
743
00:35:19,845 --> 00:35:21,176
QUINN: He's retired now.
744
00:35:21,246 --> 00:35:23,874
Would you be surprised to learn that Mr.
Malick is in fact
745
00:35:23,949 --> 00:35:27,180
Mrs. Rosatti's,
the defendant's, father?
746
00:35:27,252 --> 00:35:30,813
I didn't know that. But I tell you what.
You stay in this business long enough,
747
00:35:30,889 --> 00:35:32,117
nothing surprises you.
748
00:35:32,858 --> 00:35:35,486
Did Mr. Malick know what
line of work you were in?
749
00:35:35,794 --> 00:35:37,853
Did he know you were
a murderer for hire?
750
00:35:37,930 --> 00:35:39,557
Yeah. Sure, he knew.
751
00:35:39,631 --> 00:35:42,259
Can you say,
beyond any reasonable doubt,
752
00:35:42,701 --> 00:35:45,033
that the voice you heard
on the cell phone
753
00:35:45,104 --> 00:35:47,163
was not Jerry Malick's?
754
00:35:48,073 --> 00:35:50,166
No. I couldn't say that. No.
755
00:35:51,511 --> 00:35:52,511
That's all.
756
00:35:55,682 --> 00:35:57,513
The truth is,
I really loved Tony.
757
00:35:58,785 --> 00:36:00,309
HENDERSON:
But you cheated on him?
758
00:36:01,488 --> 00:36:02,648
He was always working.
759
00:36:03,757 --> 00:36:05,816
When he wasn't working,
he was worrying about work.
760
00:36:06,893 --> 00:36:10,124
And having an affair was your
way of getting his attention?
761
00:36:10,463 --> 00:36:11,463
I guess.
762
00:36:13,366 --> 00:36:15,027
You love someone, you marry him.
763
00:36:16,002 --> 00:36:19,130
The years go by, after a while you
start to feel taken for granted.
764
00:36:20,073 --> 00:36:23,065
I mean, yes, I wanted
Tony to notice me,
765
00:36:23,143 --> 00:36:24,701
but I didn't want to hurt him.
766
00:36:25,078 --> 00:36:26,979
I just wanted to feel...
767
00:36:27,882 --> 00:36:28,882
Yes?
768
00:36:29,984 --> 00:36:30,984
Alive.
769
00:36:32,253 --> 00:36:34,380
And appreciated.
770
00:36:35,222 --> 00:36:37,520
And what about Randy Porter?
771
00:36:38,159 --> 00:36:39,888
Was he just a fling?
772
00:36:41,262 --> 00:36:42,593
Randy was a mistake.
773
00:36:43,130 --> 00:36:44,654
Did Randy love you?
774
00:36:44,932 --> 00:36:46,194
I thought he did.
775
00:36:46,801 --> 00:36:49,497
He kept talking about marriage.
776
00:36:49,937 --> 00:36:50,937
He said,
777
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,974
"Wouldn't it be wonderful if Tony
was somehow out of the picture?"
778
00:37:05,253 --> 00:37:06,743
Out of the picture?
779
00:37:10,892 --> 00:37:13,588
What do you think Mr.
Porter meant by that?
780
00:37:14,996 --> 00:37:18,116
I certainly didn't think he meant killing
him, if that's what you're getting at.
781
00:37:19,534 --> 00:37:22,628
Did you know your husband
was about to divorce you?
782
00:37:23,705 --> 00:37:26,299
Yes, um...
783
00:37:26,641 --> 00:37:28,973
He knew about me and Randy.
784
00:37:29,044 --> 00:37:30,170
We talked about it.
785
00:37:31,379 --> 00:37:33,677
I was hoping that we
might get back together.
786
00:37:34,249 --> 00:37:35,569
We were trying to
work things out.
787
00:37:35,617 --> 00:37:37,711
And your idea of
working things out
788
00:37:37,787 --> 00:37:40,278
was to go to Bermuda for the
weekend with Mr. Porter?
789
00:37:40,990 --> 00:37:43,424
The same weekend
your husband was murdered?
790
00:37:47,630 --> 00:37:49,393
RANDY: I was serious
about Sherri.
791
00:37:50,099 --> 00:37:52,033
Clearly, she wasn't
serious about me.
792
00:37:52,468 --> 00:37:53,468
Why do you say that?
793
00:37:54,937 --> 00:37:56,336
Sherri's all about money.
794
00:37:57,807 --> 00:37:59,866
And I don't have any.
Never have.
795
00:38:01,077 --> 00:38:02,567
The funny thing is,
neither did Tony.
796
00:38:03,679 --> 00:38:06,546
He lived high on the hog,
but it was all borrowed.
797
00:38:07,049 --> 00:38:09,643
Not exactly what Sherri bargained
for when she said, "I do."
798
00:38:10,052 --> 00:38:11,679
She told you this, did she?
799
00:38:13,390 --> 00:38:14,914
It's all she ever talked about.
800
00:38:17,594 --> 00:38:18,594
QUINN: Thank you.
801
00:38:22,032 --> 00:38:24,626
Did you ever hear of
Jamie Astangura?
802
00:38:25,335 --> 00:38:26,529
Not until he testified.
803
00:38:26,703 --> 00:38:30,104
So his call to your cell phone,
what was that, a wrong number?
804
00:38:30,173 --> 00:38:31,401
It wasn't my cell phone.
805
00:38:31,475 --> 00:38:33,238
I'm sure you did tests
for fingerprints.
806
00:38:33,310 --> 00:38:34,368
Did you find any of
mine on there?
807
00:38:34,444 --> 00:38:36,435
I'm asking the questions,
Mr. Porter.
808
00:38:36,513 --> 00:38:38,071
If he did, you'd know about it.
He'd tell you.
809
00:38:38,148 --> 00:38:39,445
That's enough,
Mr. Porter.
810
00:38:39,516 --> 00:38:40,516
RANDY: Just saying.
811
00:38:40,884 --> 00:38:43,546
If it isn't your cell phone, how
did it get into your apartment?
812
00:38:43,987 --> 00:38:44,987
I don't know.
813
00:38:45,489 --> 00:38:47,116
But I will tell you this.
814
00:38:47,991 --> 00:38:50,460
Sherri Rosatti has had a key
to my place for forever.
815
00:38:53,898 --> 00:38:57,390
Any chance this was their legal
strategy from the get-go?
816
00:38:58,736 --> 00:39:00,169
Well, good liars
make good actors.
817
00:39:01,205 --> 00:39:03,901
(SIGHS) What the hell.
818
00:39:03,975 --> 00:39:05,966
Time to look
reality in the kisser.
819
00:39:06,277 --> 00:39:08,074
Offer each of them man one.
820
00:39:08,146 --> 00:39:09,238
In exchange for?
821
00:39:09,314 --> 00:39:10,314
The second hit man.
822
00:39:10,548 --> 00:39:12,709
The guy who killed Tony Rosatti.
823
00:39:12,984 --> 00:39:14,315
Somebody's got to know.
824
00:39:14,385 --> 00:39:16,012
SERENA: Let's not
get ahead of ourselves.
825
00:39:16,087 --> 00:39:18,920
I just got a response to
those serial numbers, Jack.
826
00:39:19,657 --> 00:39:22,751
Before the trial, I asked
Serena to run the cell phone
827
00:39:22,827 --> 00:39:26,059
found in Porter's
apartment by manufacturer.
828
00:39:26,532 --> 00:39:29,365
It was purchased in Brooklyn
at a bodega in Red Hook.
829
00:39:29,835 --> 00:39:34,272
Bobby Vignerelli. Rosatti's
loan shark boyhood friend.
830
00:39:34,473 --> 00:39:36,100
We'll need to look
at his bank records.
831
00:39:36,442 --> 00:39:37,442
Done.
832
00:39:41,380 --> 00:39:44,474
Hey, uh, maybe you can get me
a cup of coffee and a Danish?
833
00:39:44,550 --> 00:39:47,110
I ain't used to getting up
this early in the morning.
834
00:39:47,453 --> 00:39:50,980
We're not here to entertain you, Mr.
Vignerelli.
835
00:39:51,123 --> 00:39:53,023
Then uh, why the
wake-up call?
836
00:39:53,092 --> 00:39:54,559
JACK: Conspiracy to
commit murder.
837
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:55,960
Murder?
838
00:39:56,562 --> 00:39:57,688
I don't know what
you're talking about.
839
00:39:57,763 --> 00:39:59,561
We subpoenaed your bank records.
840
00:40:00,367 --> 00:40:02,062
Ten weeks ago,
841
00:40:02,135 --> 00:40:05,104
you wrote a check to Tony
Rosatti for $50,000.
842
00:40:05,171 --> 00:40:06,661
It's like I told the cops.
843
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,770
Tony needed a loan to make payroll.
That's all there is.
844
00:40:09,843 --> 00:40:14,473
A short time later, someone wired
$50,000 from Mrs. Rosatti's account
845
00:40:14,547 --> 00:40:17,277
to James Astangura,
professional hit man.
846
00:40:17,350 --> 00:40:20,046
So, Sherri had Tony killed.
847
00:40:20,487 --> 00:40:23,047
I read the newspapers
just like anybody else.
848
00:40:23,123 --> 00:40:24,784
I mean, I didn't know she
was gonna steal the money,
849
00:40:24,858 --> 00:40:26,655
then use it to have him whacked.
850
00:40:26,726 --> 00:40:28,591
One month later,
851
00:40:28,895 --> 00:40:32,626
you withdrew another $50,000
from your accounts.
852
00:40:33,233 --> 00:40:37,102
That's right. I had a cash flow
situation that I had to straighten out.
853
00:40:37,605 --> 00:40:40,472
I think it was a second
payment to a second hit man.
854
00:40:40,741 --> 00:40:42,208
You got this all wrong.
855
00:40:43,177 --> 00:40:44,769
Tony was my dear, dear friend.
856
00:40:45,246 --> 00:40:47,544
He owed you a lot of money, his
business was on the ropes.
857
00:40:47,615 --> 00:40:49,344
He was never gonna pay you back.
858
00:40:49,583 --> 00:40:52,074
I think you were in cahoots with Mrs.
Rosatti.
859
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,249
You conspired to murder Tony,
860
00:40:54,655 --> 00:40:58,091
frame Randy Porter,
and claim the insurance money.
861
00:40:58,192 --> 00:41:02,458
Give us the name of the second hit man and
save yourself from a capital murder charge.
862
00:41:02,530 --> 00:41:03,929
(PHONE RINGING)
863
00:41:08,669 --> 00:41:09,669
Yes?
864
00:41:11,006 --> 00:41:12,006
Who?
865
00:41:13,975 --> 00:41:15,704
Do you know an Austin Foster?
866
00:41:15,977 --> 00:41:18,571
Yeah, that's, uh, Tony's lawyer.
I told him to come here.
867
00:41:20,449 --> 00:41:21,449
Send him in.
868
00:41:22,951 --> 00:41:23,951
Why is he here?
869
00:41:24,119 --> 00:41:27,953
Because Tony told me if you ever
got on my case about his business,
870
00:41:28,023 --> 00:41:29,718
I was to notify Foster.
871
00:41:31,359 --> 00:41:32,359
Hello, everybody.
872
00:41:37,032 --> 00:41:38,032
What's this?
873
00:41:38,100 --> 00:41:42,127
That is a dated and unopened parcel
sent to me by Mr. Tony Rosatti,
874
00:41:42,204 --> 00:41:47,199
with instructions to open it only if
and when Mr. Vignerelli so requests.
875
00:41:47,810 --> 00:41:49,710
Will you do the honors,
Mr. McCoy?
876
00:42:10,833 --> 00:42:13,427
Hey, Bobby, Austin.
877
00:42:13,503 --> 00:42:14,936
I know if you're watching this,
878
00:42:15,004 --> 00:42:16,869
the two of you are in a room
with a couple of D.A. 's
879
00:42:16,939 --> 00:42:18,299
and the whole thing's
gone to hell.
880
00:42:19,776 --> 00:42:22,610
Whoever it is, hi.
My name is Tony Rosatti.
881
00:42:24,248 --> 00:42:26,944
I thought I'd planned this
whole thing out pretty good.
882
00:42:27,551 --> 00:42:33,615
Sherri and that son-of-a-bitch Porter in
jail, me at peace, maybe for the first time.
883
00:42:35,025 --> 00:42:36,686
So, Mr. D.A.,
884
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:39,554
the hit man, the wired money,
885
00:42:39,997 --> 00:42:41,521
the phone in Porter's apartment,
886
00:42:42,466 --> 00:42:43,592
it was all me.
887
00:42:44,768 --> 00:42:47,931
Bobby loaned me the dough, but
he didn't know what it was for.
888
00:42:48,205 --> 00:42:50,605
Sorry, Bobby, for
jamming you up this way.
889
00:42:51,041 --> 00:42:52,041
So, that's it.
890
00:42:53,076 --> 00:42:56,136
All's well,
et cetera, et cetera.
891
00:42:57,181 --> 00:42:58,308
You know what?
892
00:42:58,917 --> 00:43:01,317
Parting is not sweet sorrow.
893
00:43:01,820 --> 00:43:03,651
It's just plain sweet.
894
00:43:05,390 --> 00:43:07,221
Well, I'll be damned.
895
00:43:07,625 --> 00:43:08,625
All right, Tone.
896
00:43:08,993 --> 00:43:11,484
I don't believe he could
have done this by himself.
897
00:43:13,031 --> 00:43:15,864
You loaned him the
money to bankroll this.
898
00:43:16,301 --> 00:43:18,792
I could indict you
as a co-conspirator.
899
00:43:18,870 --> 00:43:21,771
For what? To commit
assisted suicide?
900
00:43:25,543 --> 00:43:28,512
Well, I guess I'll go buy
myself that cup of coffee, huh?
901
00:43:40,092 --> 00:43:43,892
We'll never know who the second hit man
was, who really killed Tony Rosatti.
902
00:43:43,963 --> 00:43:46,488
Foster's right.
It was an assisted suicide.
903
00:43:47,266 --> 00:43:49,291
Well, I guess it beats
dousing yourself with rum
904
00:43:49,368 --> 00:43:51,131
and lighting up a Cohiba.
905
00:43:51,203 --> 00:43:55,697
Rosatti's second will gives Bobby Vig
the jewelry in his safe-deposit box.
906
00:43:56,175 --> 00:43:58,700
At least Sherri won't be getting
any of that insurance money.
907
00:43:59,245 --> 00:44:01,179
I'm sure she's already
got a team of lawyers
908
00:44:01,247 --> 00:44:03,408
contesting the suicide clause.
909
00:44:03,482 --> 00:44:10,543
Fighting an insurance company.
Now that's suicide.
