1
00:00:06,687 --> 00:00:09,155
In New York City's
war on crime,
2
00:00:09,222 --> 00:00:11,417
the worst criminal offenders
are pursued
3
00:00:11,491 --> 00:00:14,324
by the detectives
of the Major Case Squad.
4
00:00:14,394 --> 00:00:16,089
These are their stories.
5
00:00:21,268 --> 00:00:25,102
We're short how much? Well,
throw in the red Bentley.
6
00:00:25,872 --> 00:00:28,466
That's right, baby,
out with the old.
7
00:00:29,343 --> 00:00:32,437
"Out with the old"? Is that
the theme of Friday's auction?
8
00:00:32,512 --> 00:00:35,481
Pam, we're celebrating
a life of privilege.
9
00:00:35,549 --> 00:00:37,881
With the magazine's circulation
declining, Mr. Merritt,
10
00:00:37,951 --> 00:00:40,385
some people say this
auction is about money.
11
00:00:40,454 --> 00:00:43,287
No, it's just my way
of sharing
12
00:00:43,357 --> 00:00:46,087
40 years of good times
with the readers.
13
00:00:47,494 --> 00:00:49,985
Jim, we're moving the breakfast
with the Teachers Union to next week.
14
00:00:50,063 --> 00:00:55,626
Putting it all out there, baby.
The good, the bad, and the very bad.
15
00:00:57,003 --> 00:00:59,563
You, too, can own a piece of
George Merritt's good times,
16
00:00:59,639 --> 00:01:01,607
when 40 years of
Men's Privilege memorabilia
17
00:01:01,675 --> 00:01:03,870
goes up for auction
at Bartleby's.
18
00:01:05,779 --> 00:01:08,270
All right, folks.
Let's get back to work.
19
00:01:08,348 --> 00:01:12,614
My years as a Privilege Honey were
some of the happiest of my life.
20
00:01:12,686 --> 00:01:16,850
I worked on the jet, you know.
That's where I met my husband Johnny.
21
00:01:17,090 --> 00:01:20,321
Is that what brought you all the
way from Houston, the memories?
22
00:01:20,394 --> 00:01:22,794
I owe Georgie Merritt so much.
23
00:01:22,863 --> 00:01:25,855
And if buying some of the wonderful
things he's putting up for sale
24
00:01:25,932 --> 00:01:27,991
helps him just
a teeny bit...
25
00:01:28,068 --> 00:01:29,194
Excuse me.
I'm sorry to bother you.
26
00:01:29,269 --> 00:01:30,293
That's all right.
27
00:01:30,370 --> 00:01:33,362
Are you Lila Brown,
the January, 1972 Honey?
28
00:01:33,974 --> 00:01:34,963
Yes, I am.
29
00:01:35,041 --> 00:01:37,509
This is...
I can't tell you.
30
00:01:37,577 --> 00:01:42,674
You had the most beautiful
hobbies. Would you sign this?
31
00:01:42,749 --> 00:01:44,512
Sure.
32
00:01:44,584 --> 00:01:47,018
You still got it, sugar.
33
00:01:48,221 --> 00:01:51,657
Lot 82. They actually
let me look through it.
34
00:01:51,725 --> 00:01:56,321
The estimate's eight grand.
Best money you'll ever spend.
35
00:01:58,098 --> 00:02:01,397
And we have $45,000 from
the lovely lady on the left.
36
00:02:01,468 --> 00:02:02,833
$45,000. Do I have
any advance on...
37
00:02:02,903 --> 00:02:03,927
50.
38
00:02:04,004 --> 00:02:07,633
Oh, $50,000 from Helen
on the telephone. $50,000.
39
00:02:07,707 --> 00:02:10,699
We have 50. $55,000
from the lady on the left.
40
00:02:10,777 --> 00:02:12,802
$55,000
60.
41
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:15,109
$60,000 from Helen
on the telephone.
42
00:02:15,182 --> 00:02:17,980
$65,000 from the lovely lady
on my left. 65...
43
00:02:18,051 --> 00:02:19,075
70.
44
00:02:19,152 --> 00:02:22,121
$70,000 from Helen on the
phone. $75,000 from the lady...
45
00:02:22,189 --> 00:02:23,986
I'm sorry, sir, but the
bidder still has her paddle up.
46
00:02:24,057 --> 00:02:25,752
Helen, any advance?
No? $75,000...
47
00:02:25,826 --> 00:02:26,884
That's not possible, sir.
48
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:27,949
Do you want to bid?
49
00:02:28,028 --> 00:02:30,019
Going, going, gone!
50
00:02:30,096 --> 00:02:31,290
I'm sorry, sir,
the bidding's over.
51
00:02:31,364 --> 00:02:32,888
Congratulations.
52
00:02:34,134 --> 00:02:36,125
And now we're gonna move
right along... Sir, I'm sorry.
53
00:02:36,203 --> 00:02:38,933
...to Lot Number 83.
Originally shoes...
54
00:02:39,005 --> 00:02:41,667
Sir, I have to hang up now.
55
00:02:42,676 --> 00:02:46,009
Sometimes it seems as if
it was all just yesterday.
56
00:02:46,079 --> 00:02:49,014
How about I take you all
downstairs for some hot chocolate?
57
00:02:49,082 --> 00:02:51,107
Now go, get your brother.
58
00:02:52,886 --> 00:02:55,514
Grandpa's taking us
for hot chocolate!
59
00:02:56,223 --> 00:02:59,681
The Hot Chocolate Express
is leaving the station!
60
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:11,360
Johnny? What did you forget? Come
see what's become of your Honey.
61
00:04:03,356 --> 00:04:04,846
Family found her
when they came back.
62
00:04:04,925 --> 00:04:07,120
Maid on the floor below
reported a pass key missing,
63
00:04:07,193 --> 00:04:08,785
that's how the perp
gained entry.
64
00:04:08,862 --> 00:04:10,523
Took the rings off
Mrs. Parsons's fingers,
65
00:04:10,597 --> 00:04:12,724
but the big-money jewelry's
still in the safe.
66
00:04:12,799 --> 00:04:14,323
Any other
rooms burglarized?
67
00:04:14,401 --> 00:04:16,426
None reported,
but we're canvassing.
68
00:04:16,503 --> 00:04:19,700
A blast from the past.
A Honey suit.
69
00:04:20,874 --> 00:04:22,603
Any idea how this got here?
70
00:04:22,676 --> 00:04:25,907
The Parsons were at a
memorabilia auction this morning.
71
00:04:25,979 --> 00:04:28,072
The items that they bought,
any of them missing?
72
00:04:28,148 --> 00:04:29,911
We're still getting
an inventory.
73
00:04:29,983 --> 00:04:31,245
This is odd.
74
00:04:31,885 --> 00:04:35,685
Just before the murder, somebody
made nearly 20 calls from the room.
75
00:04:35,755 --> 00:04:40,954
All within 15 minutes, all local numbers.
No call was more than a minute long.
76
00:04:44,197 --> 00:04:47,758
Odder still, look at the
exchanges on these numbers here.
77
00:04:51,004 --> 00:04:53,529
I don't recognize
any of these.
78
00:04:53,607 --> 00:04:56,041
The exchange on some
of those numbers
79
00:04:56,109 --> 00:05:00,478
haven't been active since the area
code was split a few years ago.
80
00:05:00,547 --> 00:05:02,014
These calls were around 3:00,
81
00:05:02,082 --> 00:05:05,347
just before we took the kids
out for hot chocolate.
82
00:05:05,685 --> 00:05:08,279
I know Lila wasn't
using the phone.
83
00:05:08,855 --> 00:05:12,154
Your grandkids, where were
they before you went out?
84
00:05:12,626 --> 00:05:16,687
Holly was watching TV and
Kenny was in his parents' room.
85
00:05:16,763 --> 00:05:18,162
Alone?
Yes.
86
00:05:19,733 --> 00:05:20,927
I didn't call anybody.
87
00:05:21,001 --> 00:05:23,196
Kenny, what did I tell
you about lying?
88
00:05:23,269 --> 00:05:26,136
Let's call the numbers.
Ask who called.
89
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,838
Okay, I called them.
Big deal.
90
00:05:30,477 --> 00:05:34,675
You're right, it's a big deal.
So where'd you find the numbers?
91
00:05:35,181 --> 00:05:37,081
In this book my grandma
bought this morning.
92
00:05:37,150 --> 00:05:38,481
What kind of book?
93
00:05:38,551 --> 00:05:41,611
Belonged to that guy
who owns a porno magazine.
94
00:05:42,188 --> 00:05:44,713
I just wanted to hear
what the girls sounded like.
95
00:05:44,791 --> 00:05:48,693
Like, if they're in this guy's
book, they have to be hot.
96
00:05:49,529 --> 00:05:51,258
What did you do
with the book?
97
00:05:53,967 --> 00:05:54,956
Anyone look under here?
98
00:05:55,035 --> 00:05:57,902
No, sir, we haven't gotten
around to this room yet.
99
00:05:57,971 --> 00:06:01,737
"Also included is George Merritt's
very own little black book
100
00:06:01,808 --> 00:06:05,209
"covering the years
1988 to 1991,
101
00:06:05,278 --> 00:06:07,075
"containing the addresses
and phone numbers of
102
00:06:07,147 --> 00:06:09,843
"the famous, the infamous
and the anonymous. "
103
00:06:09,916 --> 00:06:11,406
And now it's gone.
104
00:06:11,484 --> 00:06:13,577
An aging swinger's
little black book.
105
00:06:13,653 --> 00:06:16,349
Somebody must be
desperate for a love life.
106
00:06:19,225 --> 00:06:23,059
My archivist told me it was
either move or have a fire sale.
107
00:06:24,297 --> 00:06:26,629
Well, the catalog said that
108
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:30,633
the entries in your
address book were annotated.
109
00:06:33,073 --> 00:06:34,631
What kind of notations
did you make?
110
00:06:34,708 --> 00:06:38,576
Little things to help me remember
people, where we met, what we were doing.
111
00:06:38,645 --> 00:06:39,907
A crib sheet.
112
00:06:39,979 --> 00:06:43,779
Yeah, you meet as many people
as I do, you need a little edge.
113
00:06:43,850 --> 00:06:48,787
Oh, here she is. January,
'72. Lila was a lovely girl.
114
00:06:49,656 --> 00:06:52,625
She was a Stinger Honey.
The jet, you know?
115
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,963
Well, maybe someone wishes that they
weren't in your little black book.
116
00:06:58,031 --> 00:07:02,434
Only fun people got in my book, baby.
And fun people don't have regrets.
117
00:07:03,369 --> 00:07:07,863
Eve, they're asking about the
address book. Eve's my archivist.
118
00:07:08,174 --> 00:07:10,608
We were wondering
if you have a copy of it.
119
00:07:10,677 --> 00:07:13,237
In '91, we switched to an
electronic organizer.
120
00:07:13,313 --> 00:07:15,338
I made one copy then.
121
00:07:15,415 --> 00:07:18,111
I had no idea how valuable
that book would be.
122
00:07:18,184 --> 00:07:19,617
The bidding was fierce?
123
00:07:19,686 --> 00:07:23,349
Came down to two bidders, Lila
in the room and one on the phone.
124
00:07:23,423 --> 00:07:24,981
But Lila kept her paddle up.
125
00:07:25,058 --> 00:07:27,253
Whatever Lila wanted,
Lila got.
126
00:07:28,361 --> 00:07:29,692
That girl was implacable.
127
00:07:29,763 --> 00:07:32,254
Maybe not as much
as the runner-up.
128
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,960
The other bidder
was a Timothy Holtzman.
129
00:08:03,029 --> 00:08:04,792
First-time client
of the auction house.
130
00:08:04,864 --> 00:08:08,960
His application listed an address in
Delaware and a corporate credit card account.
131
00:08:09,035 --> 00:08:12,562
Credit card company's sending
us the activity on the card.
132
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:15,233
Here's what a sore
loser sounds like.
133
00:08:15,708 --> 00:08:17,699
The auction house records
all its phone bids.
134
00:08:17,777 --> 00:08:19,802
I'm sorry, sir, but the bidder
still has her paddle up.
135
00:08:19,879 --> 00:08:21,073
Well,
she can't do that.
136
00:08:21,147 --> 00:08:22,614
Yes, sir, it's allowed.
Do you want...
137
00:08:22,682 --> 00:08:25,173
It's unfair competition.
I want the bidding suspended.
138
00:08:25,251 --> 00:08:27,082
That's not possible, sir.
Do you want to bid?
139
00:08:27,153 --> 00:08:28,620
Okay, now go 80.
140
00:08:28,688 --> 00:08:29,712
I'm sorry, sir.
141
00:08:29,789 --> 00:08:32,815
What? No, no, no. I put in a bid.
You asked me if I wanted to bid.
142
00:08:32,892 --> 00:08:34,291
Sir, I'm sorry.
Sorry?
143
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,885
This is a rigged auction!
I'm suing Bartleby's...
144
00:08:36,963 --> 00:08:38,089
Sir...
... for tortious interference.
145
00:08:38,164 --> 00:08:39,153
I have to hang up now.
146
00:08:39,232 --> 00:08:40,392
...and I'm suing you
for fraud.
147
00:08:40,466 --> 00:08:42,093
I have your name.
148
00:08:42,635 --> 00:08:45,433
"Tortious interference. "
A lawyer?
149
00:08:45,505 --> 00:08:47,405
Worse. A Texas lawyer.
150
00:08:47,473 --> 00:08:51,273
He's not familiar with auctions,
probably not a serious collector.
151
00:08:51,344 --> 00:08:52,902
Maybe fronting for someone.
152
00:08:52,979 --> 00:08:55,470
Last purchase on the
credit card was a month ago.
153
00:08:55,548 --> 00:09:00,485
Ten grand in office supplies in
Brooklyn. And pizza, lots of pizza.
154
00:09:00,553 --> 00:09:04,045
Three to four hundred bucks a
night, every night for a month.
155
00:09:04,123 --> 00:09:06,148
Office supplies and pizza.
156
00:09:06,459 --> 00:09:09,451
Sounds like somebody's
running a boiler room.
157
00:09:09,529 --> 00:09:13,966
Sure, I remember the orders. Mr.
Tim, he had offices over on Atlantic.
158
00:09:14,033 --> 00:09:16,593
He hasn't ordered since last
month, though. I guess he moved.
159
00:09:16,669 --> 00:09:17,829
You know what kind
of business it was?
160
00:09:17,904 --> 00:09:18,928
No.
161
00:09:19,005 --> 00:09:21,200
But Mr. Tim sent me over a
framed picture of his boss.
162
00:09:21,274 --> 00:09:23,242
He said he was famous or
something, but I never heard of him.
163
00:09:23,309 --> 00:09:25,300
You still have it?
Yeah.
164
00:09:27,780 --> 00:09:29,304
Looks familiar.
165
00:09:32,719 --> 00:09:35,051
There's something
underneath it.
166
00:09:37,257 --> 00:09:38,986
Do you mind
if I open this up?
167
00:09:39,058 --> 00:09:40,992
I ain't putting it back up.
168
00:09:48,668 --> 00:09:53,662
Radcliff. The candidate in the primaries.
Holtzman must be working on his campaign.
169
00:09:54,674 --> 00:09:57,199
Putting out fires
before they start.
170
00:10:02,282 --> 00:10:04,682
This is a rigged auction!
I'm suing Bartleby's...
171
00:10:04,751 --> 00:10:06,013
Sir...
... for tortious interference
172
00:10:06,085 --> 00:10:08,076
I have to hang up now.
... and I'm suing you...
173
00:10:09,155 --> 00:10:14,183
That's me, all right. I'm a
collector of contemporary memorabilia.
174
00:10:15,228 --> 00:10:17,287
Privilege magazine
is an American icon.
175
00:10:17,363 --> 00:10:23,359
The only lot that you bid on was Lot
82. The one with the little black book.
176
00:10:23,436 --> 00:10:25,301
Then there's the way
you muddied your tracks.
177
00:10:25,371 --> 00:10:28,340
The Delaware address,
the Arizona credit card.
178
00:10:28,408 --> 00:10:33,869
Just a sorry but legal attempt
to outrun a youthful indiscretion.
179
00:10:34,914 --> 00:10:40,147
In 1988, I was in New York City and
I met a delightful Privilege Honey
180
00:10:40,954 --> 00:10:44,913
who introduced me to George Merritt,
and I distinctly remember him
181
00:10:44,991 --> 00:10:48,427
putting my name next to hers
in his little black book.
182
00:10:48,695 --> 00:10:50,993
In 1988,
you were in law school?
183
00:10:51,064 --> 00:10:53,999
I was a summer intern
at a New York law firm.
184
00:10:54,867 --> 00:10:58,325
A newly-married intern with
a wife back home in Austin.
185
00:10:58,738 --> 00:11:01,935
I don't need this book
turning up on some website.
186
00:11:02,475 --> 00:11:05,308
I just hope whoever
got it will be discreet.
187
00:11:05,378 --> 00:11:09,280
Well, keep hoping. The lady who
outbid you was murdered two days ago.
188
00:11:09,349 --> 00:11:11,943
The book is missing.
189
00:11:12,018 --> 00:11:13,007
No reaction.
190
00:11:14,020 --> 00:11:16,420
Very politic.
191
00:11:18,558 --> 00:11:21,527
Where was your candidate
in the late '80s?
192
00:11:21,594 --> 00:11:25,223
Jim Radcliff was juggling a young
family and a career in real estate.
193
00:11:25,298 --> 00:11:28,495
You sure he's not the one who got his
name in Merritt's little black book?
194
00:11:28,568 --> 00:11:29,694
You think I'm lying to you?
195
00:11:29,769 --> 00:11:32,761
What we think is, you're doing what
any good campaign manager would do
196
00:11:32,839 --> 00:11:36,297
and that is fall on his sword
to protect his candidate.
197
00:11:36,642 --> 00:11:37,904
Prove it.
198
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,672
Been a pleasure.
199
00:11:45,051 --> 00:11:49,420
Jim Radcliff did a lousy job of
juggling. He got divorced in 1990.
200
00:11:50,256 --> 00:11:52,884
So, Merritt sent over their
only copy of the address book.
201
00:11:52,959 --> 00:11:54,119
There's no Tim Holtzman in it.
202
00:11:54,193 --> 00:11:56,388
Then it's got to be
about Radcliff.
203
00:11:56,462 --> 00:11:58,726
Well, Merritt listed people
by their first names.
204
00:11:58,798 --> 00:12:02,962
All the Jims, Jimmies, Jameses
are all under the letter "J."
205
00:12:05,004 --> 00:12:09,270
There are two entries here
for a Jim, last initial "R."
206
00:12:09,542 --> 00:12:13,205
Well, I checked the phone numbers in
the reverse directories from '89 to '92.
207
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:16,271
The first one was registered
to a Jim Roberts.
208
00:12:16,616 --> 00:12:18,481
The other one was a
residential hotel, the Morgan,
209
00:12:18,551 --> 00:12:19,882
that closed down
eight years ago.
210
00:12:19,952 --> 00:12:22,386
Radcliff could've lived
there before his divorce.
211
00:12:22,455 --> 00:12:26,323
These initials next
to the name, "BV."
212
00:12:26,392 --> 00:12:27,916
Maybe where Merritt met him?
213
00:12:27,994 --> 00:12:30,895
Well, let's see what
Merritt has under "B."
214
00:12:32,031 --> 00:12:35,296
BV. Bacchus & Venus,
East 48th Street.
215
00:12:35,368 --> 00:12:37,427
I know the place.
Private sex club.
216
00:12:37,503 --> 00:12:40,233
Used to get complaints
about it all the time.
217
00:12:40,606 --> 00:12:42,369
If that's where
Merritt met Radcliff...
218
00:12:42,442 --> 00:12:44,876
A mattress full
of naked swingers.
219
00:12:45,344 --> 00:12:48,780
Not the kind of platform
people want from a candidate.
220
00:12:50,616 --> 00:12:52,584
Bacchus & Venus,
that was a swinging place.
221
00:12:52,652 --> 00:12:54,552
I remember the girls,
but the men?
222
00:12:54,620 --> 00:12:56,588
You're saying
you never met Jim Radcliff?
223
00:12:56,656 --> 00:12:58,590
No. We met at
a benefit last year.
224
00:12:58,658 --> 00:13:02,594
And, yes, he had all his clothes on.
I can't say he's my kind of politician.
225
00:13:02,662 --> 00:13:05,392
So you're saying that Jim
with the last initial "R,"
226
00:13:05,465 --> 00:13:08,229
you're positive that
that's not Radcliff?
227
00:13:08,301 --> 00:13:10,292
I'm not positive
about anything.
228
00:13:10,369 --> 00:13:13,270
The '80s are all
a fantastic blur to me.
229
00:13:13,339 --> 00:13:15,864
I was at Bacchus & Venus
a couple of times a week.
230
00:13:15,942 --> 00:13:20,402
They loved me there. A guy would have
to bring a girl to get in, I'd bring six!
231
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,577
Come on, Honeys, come on. P. Diddy
can't start this party without us.
232
00:13:27,887 --> 00:13:31,152
Talking to that guy's like
walking into a fog bank.
233
00:13:31,824 --> 00:13:35,783
He did say a guy would have to
have a date to get into the club.
234
00:13:35,862 --> 00:13:38,330
Radcliff would've had
to bring a girlfriend.
235
00:13:38,397 --> 00:13:39,591
He was going
through a divorce.
236
00:13:39,665 --> 00:13:42,657
His ex-wife might've been
keeping tabs on him.
237
00:13:46,072 --> 00:13:48,563
Jim and I made it
a condition of our settlement
238
00:13:48,641 --> 00:13:51,701
that we wouldn't discuss
anything related to our divorce,
239
00:13:51,777 --> 00:13:53,472
for our daughter's sake.
240
00:13:53,546 --> 00:13:57,505
Can we ask you where you
lived when you got the divorce?
241
00:13:58,050 --> 00:14:00,450
We had a brownstone
on West 73rd.
242
00:14:01,921 --> 00:14:04,754
It was being renovated
when we separated.
243
00:14:04,824 --> 00:14:08,260
During the renovation, were
you living somewhere else?
244
00:14:08,327 --> 00:14:10,693
Maybe a
residential hotel or...
245
00:14:10,763 --> 00:14:11,787
The Morgan.
246
00:14:12,298 --> 00:14:13,890
I don't know why any
of this is relevant?
247
00:14:13,966 --> 00:14:17,402
We think your ex-husband's
name was in an address book
248
00:14:17,470 --> 00:14:21,566
once owned by George Merritt,
the magazine publisher.
249
00:14:21,841 --> 00:14:25,277
My husband was in real estate.
He met many different people.
250
00:14:25,344 --> 00:14:28,370
It's a matter of
where he met Mr. Merritt.
251
00:14:28,447 --> 00:14:32,884
There was a notation in the book
which indicated it was at a sex club.
252
00:14:38,424 --> 00:14:39,721
This is embarrassing for you.
253
00:14:39,792 --> 00:14:42,556
Jim would never step foot
in a club like that.
254
00:14:42,628 --> 00:14:45,722
Well, if he had, he
couldn't have done it alone.
255
00:14:46,832 --> 00:14:48,299
Maybe you know
who he was seeing...
256
00:14:48,367 --> 00:14:50,232
Look, I told you
this was off-limits.
257
00:14:50,303 --> 00:14:51,827
Jim and I have worked
very hard to get along
258
00:14:51,904 --> 00:14:55,635
for our daughter's sake, and I
will not put that in jeopardy.
259
00:14:56,609 --> 00:14:58,201
Please understand.
260
00:14:58,277 --> 00:15:01,838
We understand that your husband
caused you a lot of hurt.
261
00:15:06,552 --> 00:15:10,613
Hello? Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Those bags came in yesterday.
262
00:15:11,057 --> 00:15:14,458
I'm gonna be at the store in about
a half an hour. Wait. Hold on.
263
00:15:14,527 --> 00:15:16,722
Could you let yourselves out?
264
00:15:18,664 --> 00:15:20,632
Yeah, they're beautiful.
265
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:26,303
Class act. We gave her a chance to
slam Radcliff and she didn't take it.
266
00:15:27,807 --> 00:15:30,901
But when you mentioned
the sex club, she blushed.
267
00:15:30,977 --> 00:15:33,571
A shame response.
She knew the place.
268
00:15:37,049 --> 00:15:41,179
So far, it's all your
typical divorce tit-for-tat.
269
00:15:41,254 --> 00:15:43,222
This isn't typical, here.
270
00:15:43,656 --> 00:15:46,716
Her deposition in
the custody hearing.
271
00:15:49,829 --> 00:15:51,922
"Jim said he had
a romantic evening planned.
272
00:15:51,998 --> 00:15:55,263
"He took me to a club,
Bacchus & Venus. I was shocked.
273
00:15:55,334 --> 00:15:57,825
"The room was full
of people having sex.
274
00:15:57,903 --> 00:16:00,201
"I wanted to leave,
but Jim told me to humor him.
275
00:16:00,273 --> 00:16:02,207
"Men were looking at me.
I felt dirty.
276
00:16:02,275 --> 00:16:05,438
"Jim told me to perform oral
sex on him while they watched.
277
00:16:05,511 --> 00:16:07,342
"I refused and left. "
278
00:16:07,413 --> 00:16:09,540
And then three months later.
279
00:16:09,615 --> 00:16:12,379
"He insisted we do what he wanted.
But this time, once we were inside
280
00:16:12,451 --> 00:16:16,615
"the sex club, I became physically
ill. I cried. Jim got angry,
281
00:16:16,689 --> 00:16:18,486
"he said I was
spoiling everything,
282
00:16:18,557 --> 00:16:21,025
"that it wasn't sexy
for me to cry. "
283
00:16:21,594 --> 00:16:25,655
A sex fiend and a bully. Politics
is the perfect place for him.
284
00:16:26,332 --> 00:16:29,233
This file hadn't been
looked at since 1994.
285
00:16:29,869 --> 00:16:33,066
And then Monday,
it was signed out.
286
00:16:33,139 --> 00:16:35,369
Two days after
Lila Parsons was murdered.
287
00:16:36,375 --> 00:16:38,468
Signed out by Radcliff's
divorce lawyer.
288
00:16:38,544 --> 00:16:41,274
Well, he knows what's in here,
why would he need to look at it?
289
00:16:41,347 --> 00:16:43,110
Maybe this is what
he was checking.
290
00:16:43,182 --> 00:16:46,413
To see if anyone else
had looked at the file.
291
00:16:47,853 --> 00:16:51,220
A shakedown artist, maybe
that's who stole the book.
292
00:16:51,824 --> 00:16:53,883
My client is not
being blackmailed.
293
00:16:53,959 --> 00:16:56,223
We looked at that file to
clarify a child-support issue,
294
00:16:56,295 --> 00:16:58,058
now that Jim's daughter
is going to college.
295
00:16:58,130 --> 00:17:02,567
Besides which, what Kay said in those
depositions is a total fabrication.
296
00:17:03,235 --> 00:17:05,226
You didn't drag her
to a sex club?
297
00:17:05,304 --> 00:17:09,138
No. We went there once, as a
married couple, out of curiosity.
298
00:17:09,842 --> 00:17:12,504
We were both disturbed by
what we saw and we left.
299
00:17:12,578 --> 00:17:13,567
Hmm.
300
00:17:14,313 --> 00:17:18,249
Hardly seems enough time to meet
George Merritt and give him your number.
301
00:17:18,317 --> 00:17:19,841
That's because I didn't
meet George Merritt.
302
00:17:19,919 --> 00:17:22,820
No, see, you're in his
phone book under "J."
303
00:17:23,789 --> 00:17:26,622
Jim R. And there's your
number at the Morgan Hotel.
304
00:17:26,692 --> 00:17:30,492
Jim sold high-end real estate. No
doubt he's in a lot of address books.
305
00:17:30,563 --> 00:17:34,556
Except the letters
after his name, "BV."
306
00:17:35,201 --> 00:17:41,003
That's Merritt's little, you know, code,
to remind himself of where he met you.
307
00:17:43,876 --> 00:17:47,937
Bacchus & Venus, the sex
club where you took your wife.
308
00:17:51,951 --> 00:17:53,680
Is that
enough proof for you?
309
00:17:53,753 --> 00:17:55,311
You're looking
at it real good.
310
00:17:55,388 --> 00:17:56,719
That's because
we've never seen it.
311
00:17:56,789 --> 00:17:58,780
So the first page, the...
312
00:17:59,325 --> 00:18:02,590
The one that you hardly looked at,
that's the one you've seen before.
313
00:18:02,661 --> 00:18:06,825
Now, did the person that's
blackmailing you send that to you?
314
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,461
Mr. Radcliff has always been a
friend of law enforcement officers.
315
00:18:12,204 --> 00:18:14,399
Even when they make mistakes.
316
00:18:21,647 --> 00:18:25,014
This is why I became a cop,
you make so many friends.
317
00:18:25,451 --> 00:18:27,351
Radcliff's blackmailer,
318
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,013
before he stole the book
from Lila Parsons,
319
00:18:30,089 --> 00:18:32,319
he might've tried
to buy it legitimately.
320
00:18:32,391 --> 00:18:34,382
One of the other bidders.
321
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,121
Well, somebody told
them to check that file!
322
00:18:37,196 --> 00:18:38,857
They didn't come up with
that bright idea on their own!
323
00:18:38,931 --> 00:18:40,626
I didn't tell them anything.
I swear to God, Kay.
324
00:18:40,699 --> 00:18:44,533
You talk to the press, you
confirm one iota of that crap, I...
325
00:18:46,272 --> 00:18:49,241
Regan, there you are.
You're late.
326
00:18:50,242 --> 00:18:51,436
And you're a jerk.
327
00:18:51,510 --> 00:18:52,636
Regan, don't.
328
00:18:54,914 --> 00:18:56,279
Get your stuff, let's go.
329
00:18:56,348 --> 00:18:57,406
No.
330
00:18:57,817 --> 00:19:00,445
You apologize to Mom
or I'm not going.
331
00:19:03,722 --> 00:19:05,622
You deserve each other.
332
00:19:08,227 --> 00:19:10,422
You shouldn't push
your father away, honey.
333
00:19:10,496 --> 00:19:15,024
He just wants people to see him skiing
with his daughter. He's such a phony.
334
00:19:18,504 --> 00:19:22,736
My brave little girl. Never
afraid to look at the truth.
335
00:19:25,010 --> 00:19:26,443
Mr. McKenna?
336
00:19:28,013 --> 00:19:29,981
Please, wait here.
Oh.
337
00:19:31,417 --> 00:19:34,750
Mr. McKenna told the auction house
he worked for Unicorn Crystals.
338
00:19:34,820 --> 00:19:38,347
Mr. McKenna has a lot of
businesses. Only one office.
339
00:19:40,626 --> 00:19:43,527
He was scanning something
onto his computer.
340
00:19:45,564 --> 00:19:48,089
He might've e-mailed it
to somebody.
341
00:19:48,801 --> 00:19:54,068
It's from the address book,
Radcliff's entry. "Now do you believe?"
342
00:19:54,507 --> 00:19:57,237
Must be Part 2 of
a shakedown letter.
343
00:19:58,677 --> 00:20:01,669
The e-mail address,
Texas Hold 'em.
344
00:20:01,747 --> 00:20:02,839
Tim Holtzman.
345
00:20:13,259 --> 00:20:14,453
Decomp.
346
00:20:19,331 --> 00:20:20,355
What's in here?
347
00:20:20,432 --> 00:20:21,421
Storeroom.
348
00:20:29,975 --> 00:20:33,103
Our shakedown artist.
Somebody shook back.
349
00:20:39,652 --> 00:20:43,486
McKenna's phone was last used
at 5:50 Saturday night,
350
00:20:43,556 --> 00:20:47,549
a call to the local deli, just
an hour before he sent the e-mail.
351
00:20:48,193 --> 00:20:52,095
He got six e-mails back from Texas Hold'em.
The first one was Saturday afternoon.
352
00:20:53,399 --> 00:20:55,526
And the next one was
received late Saturday night,
353
00:20:55,601 --> 00:20:57,933
after McKenna sent the proof.
354
00:20:58,003 --> 00:20:59,493
They were
ready to pay up.
355
00:20:59,572 --> 00:21:03,474
They sent four more messages,
asking for McKenna for an answer.
356
00:21:04,276 --> 00:21:07,507
They could've sent them to cover
up the fact they had McKenna killed.
357
00:21:07,580 --> 00:21:09,480
Two small-caliber
entry wounds in the back.
358
00:21:09,548 --> 00:21:11,482
We found blood on
the tops of his shoes.
359
00:21:11,550 --> 00:21:15,714
On the tops? Well, that
wouldn't be his blood.
360
00:21:15,788 --> 00:21:17,551
Might be Lila Parsons's.
361
00:21:17,623 --> 00:21:19,488
And this came back
on his prints.
362
00:21:20,926 --> 00:21:25,192
McKenna has drug beefs, '89
and '90, possession with intent.
363
00:21:25,998 --> 00:21:28,228
Coke and poppers.
Party drugs.
364
00:21:30,736 --> 00:21:32,465
Check out the location
of the arrests.
365
00:21:32,538 --> 00:21:33,527
East 48th...
366
00:21:33,606 --> 00:21:36,006
Party central,
Bacchus & Venus.
367
00:21:37,810 --> 00:21:42,042
The e-mails were traced to an account
owned by your campaign manager.
368
00:21:42,348 --> 00:21:44,179
The implication is clear.
369
00:21:44,249 --> 00:21:46,114
Maybe to you. If you think
you can make a case...
370
00:21:46,185 --> 00:21:47,550
I don't like liars.
371
00:21:47,620 --> 00:21:48,917
Either he tells
us what he knows,
372
00:21:48,988 --> 00:21:52,822
or I'll drag him before the
grand jury and put him under oath.
373
00:21:56,729 --> 00:22:00,961
We received a demand for $1 million
in exchange for the address book.
374
00:22:01,900 --> 00:22:04,528
Against my better judgment,
we agreed.
375
00:22:04,970 --> 00:22:07,700
But we never heard back
from the other party.
376
00:22:07,773 --> 00:22:10,435
This is the other party.
You know him?
377
00:22:12,945 --> 00:22:13,934
I've never seen him.
378
00:22:14,013 --> 00:22:15,241
You sure?
379
00:22:15,581 --> 00:22:17,981
Rob McKenna.
380
00:22:18,050 --> 00:22:21,076
This is what he looked like when
he was a bouncer at Bacchus & Venus.
381
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,718
I don't remember him. I only went to the
club five times, then I lost interest.
382
00:22:25,791 --> 00:22:28,988
You don't know McKenna, but
he knew you were in the book.
383
00:22:29,061 --> 00:22:30,050
I can't explain it.
384
00:22:30,129 --> 00:22:33,724
McKenna had a partner. Someone
you told you were in the book.
385
00:22:33,799 --> 00:22:35,096
No, I never told anyone.
386
00:22:35,167 --> 00:22:39,729
You didn't brag to your buddy boys
about meeting George Merritt at an orgy?
387
00:22:40,072 --> 00:22:43,667
It's not as sexy as making your
wife cry in front of a room...
388
00:22:43,742 --> 00:22:46,802
Mr. Carver, my client does not
need to be subjected to this...
389
00:22:46,879 --> 00:22:49,677
Your client needs to
answer the question.
390
00:22:55,087 --> 00:22:58,147
The first I heard of this auction
is when George Merritt called
391
00:22:58,223 --> 00:23:01,056
and warned me that
the book was up for sale.
392
00:23:01,126 --> 00:23:03,856
He reminded me
my name was in it
393
00:23:03,929 --> 00:23:06,898
and that I might wanna keep
it out of the wrong hands.
394
00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:10,124
I told Holtzman
to take care of it.
395
00:23:12,304 --> 00:23:14,363
I was performing
a public service.
396
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,807
You told us Radcliff wasn't
your kind of politician.
397
00:23:17,876 --> 00:23:21,778
That was before you said you
weren't positive he was in your book.
398
00:23:21,847 --> 00:23:23,781
If you're going to pay
attention to what I say.
399
00:23:23,849 --> 00:23:26,249
What do you think,
for the July Honey, huh?
400
00:23:26,318 --> 00:23:29,082
Yeah, the reason that
you called Radcliff
401
00:23:29,154 --> 00:23:31,918
was because you were priming
the pump for the auction.
402
00:23:31,990 --> 00:23:35,983
Oh, enlightened self-interest is
the best kind of public service.
403
00:23:39,198 --> 00:23:43,396
Oh, was that me? I'm sorry.
404
00:23:45,070 --> 00:23:46,628
Did you call anyone else?
405
00:23:46,705 --> 00:23:47,899
I might have.
406
00:23:48,273 --> 00:23:49,706
Throw me some names.
407
00:23:49,775 --> 00:23:50,867
Rob McKenna.
408
00:23:51,744 --> 00:23:54,304
He supplied party favors
at Bacchus & Venus.
409
00:23:54,379 --> 00:23:57,075
Yeah, I know who he is.
I didn't call him.
410
00:23:57,149 --> 00:24:01,210
He called me to place a
pre-emptive bid on the book.
411
00:24:02,354 --> 00:24:04,584
Said he was being a gentleman
on behalf of a friend
412
00:24:04,656 --> 00:24:06,055
who thought they
might be in the book.
413
00:24:06,125 --> 00:24:09,117
I told him to get on line
like everybody else.
414
00:24:09,194 --> 00:24:10,183
Georgie?
415
00:24:10,262 --> 00:24:11,286
Hmm.
416
00:24:11,363 --> 00:24:12,523
The game's stuck.
417
00:24:12,598 --> 00:24:14,896
I'll be right there.
Excuse me.
418
00:24:16,068 --> 00:24:18,127
What is it, sweetie?
The game won't go.
419
00:24:18,203 --> 00:24:23,072
A gentleman. That's a word that men use
sometimes when they're helping a lady.
420
00:24:23,142 --> 00:24:27,306
Maybe McKenna's friend was a lady
who knew Radcliff was in the book.
421
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,474
And I can think of one.
Kay Connolly.
422
00:24:34,586 --> 00:24:37,612
Who would blackmail Jim?
Did he tell you this?
423
00:24:37,689 --> 00:24:41,853
He got an extortion demand about
his activities at the sex club.
424
00:24:42,461 --> 00:24:45,123
That doesn't make any sense.
I told you that was all lies.
425
00:24:45,197 --> 00:24:48,564
We read your deposition. We know
what your husband put you through,
426
00:24:48,634 --> 00:24:50,033
taking you to that club.
427
00:24:50,102 --> 00:24:52,536
My husband said
I was too uptight.
428
00:24:54,306 --> 00:24:55,705
Too conventional.
429
00:24:55,774 --> 00:24:57,366
He wanted you to experiment.
430
00:25:03,348 --> 00:25:06,749
I'II... I'll just... Do you mind
if I shut this? We need to...
431
00:25:06,819 --> 00:25:07,808
It's okay, honey.
432
00:25:07,886 --> 00:25:10,252
...talk to your
Mom in private.
433
00:25:11,456 --> 00:25:12,445
Uh-huh.
434
00:25:19,965 --> 00:25:22,729
I told him if he let
the genie out of the bottle,
435
00:25:22,801 --> 00:25:24,530
then he would
destroy our marriage,
436
00:25:24,603 --> 00:25:26,662
and that's what he did.
437
00:25:26,738 --> 00:25:29,605
Well, we found the man
who was blackmailing him.
438
00:25:29,675 --> 00:25:33,111
His name's Rob McKenna.
He was a bouncer at that club.
439
00:25:33,679 --> 00:25:34,668
No.
440
00:25:34,746 --> 00:25:36,338
This guy's
a jack-of-all-trades.
441
00:25:36,415 --> 00:25:39,077
This year, he was
selling beachwear.
442
00:25:39,151 --> 00:25:43,554
Last year he was selling
women's leather belts.
443
00:25:43,956 --> 00:25:46,948
In fact, he had a booth
at the Women's Accessory Show.
444
00:25:47,025 --> 00:25:49,960
The show's organizers
said you were there, too.
445
00:25:50,028 --> 00:25:52,462
Yeah, well,
he even gave us a map.
446
00:25:53,866 --> 00:25:57,233
This is where his booth was here,
and right across the aisle was yours.
447
00:25:57,302 --> 00:26:00,703
Oh, right.
Now I do remember. Rob.
448
00:26:00,772 --> 00:26:02,637
Right, Rob.
Good old Rob.
449
00:26:02,941 --> 00:26:06,035
So what did he do?
He was just chatting you up?
450
00:26:06,111 --> 00:26:08,443
He remembered me
from the club.
451
00:26:08,947 --> 00:26:12,644
The time that I freaked out
and Jim got angry with me.
452
00:26:13,852 --> 00:26:15,649
I guess I made an impression.
453
00:26:15,721 --> 00:26:20,954
I'll say, him remembering you
just from that one time in 1989.
454
00:26:21,026 --> 00:26:24,154
Just so we know that we're
talking about the same guy here,
455
00:26:24,229 --> 00:26:28,188
can you describe what he
looked like back then in 1989?
456
00:26:29,735 --> 00:26:34,638
He had hair that was combed
forward, like a Caesar cut.
457
00:26:34,706 --> 00:26:38,574
And he had a small,
little beard.
458
00:26:38,644 --> 00:26:40,271
Oh, a soul patch.
459
00:26:44,883 --> 00:26:47,351
Yes, that's how
I remembered him.
460
00:26:52,257 --> 00:26:55,954
So this is what he looked like
in '89, when he was arrested.
461
00:26:56,528 --> 00:26:59,964
And this is what he looked like
in '91. This is when Kay met him.
462
00:27:00,032 --> 00:27:04,093
Two years after she was at the
club with Radcliff. She lied to us.
463
00:27:04,603 --> 00:27:07,333
She was a divorced
woman in '91. Single.
464
00:27:08,674 --> 00:27:11,734
The genie out of the bottle?
Maybe it was hers.
465
00:27:12,611 --> 00:27:14,670
You turned off your cell.
466
00:27:14,746 --> 00:27:15,770
Let go!
467
00:27:15,847 --> 00:27:17,178
Let me see.
Let me see!
468
00:27:17,249 --> 00:27:18,682
Stop it!
Let me see your arm!
469
00:27:18,750 --> 00:27:20,615
Stop it!
I didn't do anything.
470
00:27:20,686 --> 00:27:21,744
Let me see!
471
00:27:21,820 --> 00:27:26,257
Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't
you tell me what he did to you?
472
00:27:26,959 --> 00:27:29,393
I didn't think
you'd understand, honey.
473
00:27:29,461 --> 00:27:32,191
You promised
to tell me everything!
474
00:27:34,866 --> 00:27:38,427
I know. I'm sorry,
sweetheart, I'm so sorry.
475
00:27:39,571 --> 00:27:44,133
How could he take you to a
place like that? I hate him.
476
00:27:50,382 --> 00:27:54,079
Found her. "Monique. "
477
00:27:56,054 --> 00:27:57,681
And the phone number
was registered
478
00:27:57,756 --> 00:28:01,852
to Kay under her married name
from '90 to '92.
479
00:28:03,161 --> 00:28:09,259
Monique. "Choochoo"? As in the
little engine that pulled the train?
480
00:28:11,103 --> 00:28:12,764
Multiple partners.
481
00:28:13,939 --> 00:28:17,033
Must be what she became
known for at the club.
482
00:28:17,109 --> 00:28:20,476
Well, I've heard of
post-divorce follies, but this...
483
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,043
She didn't want the book
to blackmail Radcliff.
484
00:28:26,318 --> 00:28:29,185
She needed it to
bury her own past.
485
00:28:33,558 --> 00:28:37,460
Monique... Monique... No,
I'm sorry. I guess I...
486
00:28:38,130 --> 00:28:39,757
I don't remember
the girls after all.
487
00:28:39,831 --> 00:28:40,957
And Choochoo?
488
00:28:41,033 --> 00:28:43,331
Oh, exactly what
the name implied.
489
00:28:44,503 --> 00:28:48,064
Whoever that girl was, she saw more traffic
in one night than the Holland Tunnel.
490
00:28:51,109 --> 00:28:53,805
Oh, come on. It was
harmless fun, you know.
491
00:28:53,879 --> 00:28:54,868
Thank you, Mr. Merritt.
492
00:28:54,946 --> 00:28:56,004
Oh.
493
00:29:07,659 --> 00:29:10,594
Honeys! Here we go.
494
00:29:11,296 --> 00:29:12,354
Nice to
meet you. Bye.
495
00:29:12,431 --> 00:29:13,420
Bye.
496
00:29:17,569 --> 00:29:19,969
Maybe Ms. Connolly
isn't Monique.
497
00:29:21,106 --> 00:29:23,574
Maybe Merritt wrote down
the wrong number.
498
00:29:23,642 --> 00:29:24,802
Hell of a coincidence.
499
00:29:24,876 --> 00:29:27,606
Maybe the blackmail scheme
was just a lure.
500
00:29:27,679 --> 00:29:30,170
It's how Kay got McKenna to
front for her at the auction.
501
00:29:30,248 --> 00:29:33,615
When he was outbid, he saw
his meal ticket slip away,
502
00:29:33,685 --> 00:29:37,018
so he killed Lila Parsons
to get the book back.
503
00:29:37,789 --> 00:29:40,223
Before Kay knew
what he was up to,
504
00:29:40,659 --> 00:29:43,287
McKenna tried to sell
the book to Radcliff,
505
00:29:43,361 --> 00:29:45,352
that's the last place Kay
would want it to wind up.
506
00:29:45,430 --> 00:29:47,557
So, she put a stop
to it with two slugs.
507
00:29:47,632 --> 00:29:50,100
If in fact Kay Connolly
is Monique.
508
00:29:51,002 --> 00:29:52,526
Find a witness.
509
00:29:53,238 --> 00:29:55,968
Her daughter Regan would've
been three or four at the time.
510
00:29:56,041 --> 00:30:00,102
A nanny or a babysitter. If Kay
paid by check, we can find her.
511
00:30:04,316 --> 00:30:08,184
Regan was such a lively girl.
She is all right, isn't she?
512
00:30:08,253 --> 00:30:12,155
As far as we can tell. You were
her nanny for a year and a half.
513
00:30:12,224 --> 00:30:15,990
A record. Her other
nannies lasted six months.
514
00:30:18,063 --> 00:30:21,555
Ms. Connolly had a very
active social life.
515
00:30:23,635 --> 00:30:27,435
And you were stuck baby-sitting
till her mother rolled home.
516
00:30:27,906 --> 00:30:30,431
Once she was gone
for three days.
517
00:30:31,109 --> 00:30:33,304
She came back looking like...
518
00:30:34,045 --> 00:30:37,208
She smelled of drink and sex.
519
00:30:38,150 --> 00:30:40,380
She was a lonely,
unhappy woman.
520
00:30:40,452 --> 00:30:41,942
Any idea where she'd been?
521
00:30:43,021 --> 00:30:45,683
I heard men leaving messages
on her machine,
522
00:30:45,757 --> 00:30:48,783
saying they'd met her at
this club. It had two names.
523
00:30:48,860 --> 00:30:50,157
Bacchus & Venus.
524
00:30:50,228 --> 00:30:51,286
That's it.
525
00:30:51,363 --> 00:30:53,661
Was Regan aware that
there was something wrong?
526
00:30:53,732 --> 00:30:56,394
Ms. Connolly would tell her
she'd be home to tuck her in,
527
00:30:56,468 --> 00:30:57,935
but she'd never make it back.
528
00:30:58,003 --> 00:31:00,369
Just one broken promise
after another.
529
00:31:00,438 --> 00:31:03,601
Regan would line up her dolls
neatly on the bed,
530
00:31:04,342 --> 00:31:09,302
she'd sit up, forcing herself to stay
awake until Ms. Connolly came home.
531
00:31:09,614 --> 00:31:12,481
When you asked if
Regan was all right,
532
00:31:12,918 --> 00:31:16,319
did you have anything special
to be concerned about?
533
00:31:18,156 --> 00:31:22,024
I'm not even sure. But five
years ago, I got a call.
534
00:31:22,994 --> 00:31:25,224
It was a young girl,
11 or 12.
535
00:31:26,498 --> 00:31:27,624
She sounded drunk.
536
00:31:27,699 --> 00:31:29,098
What did she say?
537
00:31:30,235 --> 00:31:32,669
She said she was
going to kill me.
538
00:31:33,405 --> 00:31:37,364
I heard giggling in the background,
but the girl was very angry.
539
00:31:38,009 --> 00:31:40,443
She said she'd found a gun
in her mother's store
540
00:31:40,512 --> 00:31:42,605
and she knew how to use it.
541
00:31:43,014 --> 00:31:45,915
The store. That's how
you knew it was Regan.
542
00:31:47,819 --> 00:31:51,721
When are you going
to be home? Okay.
543
00:31:55,493 --> 00:31:58,826
My mom said she can't come home
yet, there's police at the store.
544
00:31:58,897 --> 00:32:01,798
Do you have any idea
what we're looking for?
545
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,699
You know, we talked to your
old nanny, Mrs. Brendan.
546
00:32:07,806 --> 00:32:11,173
She said that you called
her five years ago.
547
00:32:13,945 --> 00:32:15,913
What?
We dug up an old phone record.
548
00:32:15,981 --> 00:32:17,710
You want to see it?
549
00:32:18,617 --> 00:32:21,609
Do you remember
what you said?
550
00:32:21,686 --> 00:32:22,675
I was goofing.
551
00:32:23,555 --> 00:32:26,922
You told her that you found
something in your mom's store and that
552
00:32:26,992 --> 00:32:29,358
you'd kill Mrs. Brendan
with it.
553
00:32:29,427 --> 00:32:30,416
I didn't mean it.
554
00:32:30,695 --> 00:32:33,357
Mrs. Brendan said
you sounded drunk.
555
00:32:33,431 --> 00:32:34,728
I used to get drunk a lot.
556
00:32:35,700 --> 00:32:37,463
But now you're okay.
557
00:32:42,540 --> 00:32:45,839
"Hamilton Heights Literacy
Program. " Is this yours?
558
00:32:46,945 --> 00:32:48,003
Yeah. I volunteer.
559
00:32:48,079 --> 00:32:50,673
That's great.
You should hold on to it.
560
00:32:51,283 --> 00:32:55,379
Was there anything else?
Besides the drinking?
561
00:32:55,954 --> 00:33:00,653
At the store, I noticed that
you pulled down your sleeves.
562
00:33:08,066 --> 00:33:09,556
You're hiding scars?
563
00:33:09,634 --> 00:33:10,760
I'm not a junkie.
564
00:33:11,436 --> 00:33:13,097
You were a cutter?
565
00:33:17,208 --> 00:33:19,438
Who were you mad at?
Your mom?
566
00:33:22,414 --> 00:33:25,315
Mom and I are tight now.
We're best friends.
567
00:33:25,650 --> 00:33:28,847
You worked on it? You went
to counseling together?
568
00:33:31,156 --> 00:33:32,214
Yes.
569
00:33:34,959 --> 00:33:37,450
Mrs. Brendan told us that
after your parents got divorced,
570
00:33:37,529 --> 00:33:40,430
that your mother spent a
lot of time away from home.
571
00:33:40,498 --> 00:33:42,796
Did that come up
in counseling?
572
00:33:44,669 --> 00:33:45,727
Yes.
573
00:33:46,071 --> 00:33:49,598
You thought that it was your
fault that she stayed away.
574
00:33:50,041 --> 00:33:54,944
You thought that if you kept your room
clean and neat, and lined up all your dolls,
575
00:33:55,013 --> 00:34:01,179
that she'd see that you were a good
girl and she'd love you more, stay home?
576
00:34:01,853 --> 00:34:05,084
It was my dad's fault.
He dumped us.
577
00:34:06,257 --> 00:34:10,387
And Mom had to work all the time, that's
why she couldn't be at home with me.
578
00:34:10,462 --> 00:34:14,364
Did she tell you that in counseling?
That she was working late?
579
00:34:14,999 --> 00:34:18,867
Yes. She worked really hard.
580
00:34:21,139 --> 00:34:25,098
While Dad...
I know what he did to her.
581
00:34:28,513 --> 00:34:32,779
Her self-destructive behavior is a
symptom of her attachment disorder.
582
00:34:33,952 --> 00:34:35,681
She felt abandoned
by everyone,
583
00:34:35,754 --> 00:34:38,154
by her mother,
especially by her mother.
584
00:34:38,223 --> 00:34:41,659
They went to therapy to
rebuild the bond between them,
585
00:34:41,726 --> 00:34:44,126
rebuild it on a foundation
of trust and truth.
586
00:34:44,195 --> 00:34:45,492
And what did Kay do?
She lied.
587
00:34:45,563 --> 00:34:47,087
Tough to tell your kid
you neglected them
588
00:34:47,165 --> 00:34:49,497
because you were too busy
romancing the 7th Fleet.
589
00:34:49,567 --> 00:34:51,728
Well, the girl might
forgive her for her conduct,
590
00:34:51,803 --> 00:34:53,065
but not for lying about it.
591
00:34:53,138 --> 00:34:56,630
Kay had to be worried about what
would happen if Regan found out.
592
00:34:56,708 --> 00:35:00,269
Find out how? It's an anonymous
entry in an address book.
593
00:35:01,146 --> 00:35:05,310
With a phone number that Radcliff would
recognize if it ended up in his hands.
594
00:35:05,383 --> 00:35:06,850
That's who might tell Regan.
595
00:35:06,918 --> 00:35:09,614
Well, nice theory, but after
serving two search warrants,
596
00:35:09,687 --> 00:35:12,417
there's still no gun
or an address book.
597
00:35:12,490 --> 00:35:15,653
Well, we still have a copy
of the address book.
598
00:35:16,928 --> 00:35:20,295
She didn't want the truth
falling in the wrong hands.
599
00:35:21,733 --> 00:35:24,930
Why don't we give her
something to worry about?
600
00:35:25,003 --> 00:35:27,403
No, I don't know
anyone named Monique.
601
00:35:27,472 --> 00:35:32,239
No, see, next to her name, Mr.
Merritt wrote down your phone number
602
00:35:32,310 --> 00:35:34,505
at your old brownstone
on 73rd.
603
00:35:34,579 --> 00:35:35,568
It's a mistake.
604
00:35:35,647 --> 00:35:37,114
No, no, the number's right.
605
00:35:37,182 --> 00:35:40,948
It's a hot little number, too,
going by the notes that Merritt made.
606
00:35:41,019 --> 00:35:42,145
Let me see it.
607
00:35:42,220 --> 00:35:45,986
Sorry, Mr. Radcliff, you're not
entitled to examine grand jury evidence.
608
00:35:46,057 --> 00:35:47,752
Grand jury? What are
you talking about?
609
00:35:47,826 --> 00:35:51,819
We believe Monique knew your
client's blackmailer, Mr. McKenna.
610
00:35:52,130 --> 00:35:55,657
And she obviously knew Mr. Radcliff,
since she was living at his place.
611
00:35:55,733 --> 00:35:59,191
Turns out you and McKenna had
a very close mutual friend,
612
00:35:59,270 --> 00:36:02,762
which makes us wonder why you
lied to us about not knowing him.
613
00:36:02,841 --> 00:36:06,971
I'll be seeking Mr. Radcliff's
indictment for Mr. McKenna's murder.
614
00:36:07,045 --> 00:36:11,505
That is ridiculous! I'm telling
you, I did not know these people.
615
00:36:11,950 --> 00:36:14,384
Mr. Carver, I'm serving notice
that I'm putting my client
616
00:36:14,452 --> 00:36:17,751
in front of your grand jury and I want
access to all of your grand jury evidence,
617
00:36:17,822 --> 00:36:19,551
including the contents
of the address book.
618
00:36:19,624 --> 00:36:22,525
Not without a judge's order.
619
00:36:22,594 --> 00:36:23,618
Fine with me.
620
00:36:25,129 --> 00:36:27,256
Antonia, please come in.
621
00:36:29,868 --> 00:36:32,166
That's the address
for Ms. Kay Connolly.
622
00:36:32,237 --> 00:36:34,899
As soon as we get a court date
for Mr. Talbot's motion,
623
00:36:34,973 --> 00:36:36,964
please send her a notice.
624
00:36:40,945 --> 00:36:44,813
Under CPL Section 190.50, my
client has an absolute right
625
00:36:44,883 --> 00:36:47,477
to testify on his own behalf
before the grand jury.
626
00:36:47,552 --> 00:36:50,885
And to prepare his testimony, he
must be allowed to review the evidence
627
00:36:50,955 --> 00:36:52,820
Mr. Carver intends to
present against him.
628
00:36:52,891 --> 00:36:55,860
Your Honor, Mr. Talbot is alluding
to a copy of an address book,
629
00:36:55,927 --> 00:36:58,725
specifically to an entry
under the name "Monique. "
630
00:36:58,796 --> 00:37:02,095
Since I have no intention of
asking Mr. Radcliff any questions
631
00:37:02,166 --> 00:37:05,863
about that document, I see no
basis to turn it over to him.
632
00:37:06,437 --> 00:37:09,429
That is the lamest argument
I've heard in a month.
633
00:37:09,507 --> 00:37:12,408
If it's evidence, he has
a right to examine it.
634
00:37:12,477 --> 00:37:14,001
I'm granting his motion.
635
00:37:14,078 --> 00:37:16,478
You have till the end of business
day to turn over the address book.
636
00:37:22,420 --> 00:37:25,685
Mr. Carver, Bonnie Wells.
I represent Kay Connolly.
637
00:37:25,757 --> 00:37:27,622
Can I have a word
with you in private?
638
00:37:27,692 --> 00:37:29,057
Of course.
639
00:37:31,729 --> 00:37:34,823
You're suggesting I appeal
the judge's order?
640
00:37:36,901 --> 00:37:37,925
What's your interest here?
641
00:37:38,002 --> 00:37:41,460
My client wants to limit access to
the book, since it brings to light
642
00:37:41,539 --> 00:37:44,303
her husband's behavior
during their marriage.
643
00:37:44,375 --> 00:37:47,003
She wants to shield her
daughter from that information.
644
00:37:47,078 --> 00:37:50,878
She already knows her father
dragged her mother to sex clubs.
645
00:37:52,350 --> 00:37:56,081
It's not his behavior that's
the problem. It's yours.
646
00:37:58,690 --> 00:38:03,525
You know, the evidence of it. That's what
you want to keep away from Jim, right?
647
00:38:04,295 --> 00:38:08,595
I didn't do anything. It
was Jim who humiliated me.
648
00:38:08,666 --> 00:38:12,796
He did. He bullied you, he made
you feel worthless and undesirable.
649
00:38:13,871 --> 00:38:17,602
Was it to prove him wrong
that you became Monique?
650
00:38:21,512 --> 00:38:25,573
To make yourself feel more
powerful by being desired?
651
00:38:29,621 --> 00:38:32,681
I don't know what...
What you're talking about.
652
00:38:33,224 --> 00:38:35,522
I'm talking
about this, Monique.
653
00:38:37,028 --> 00:38:39,758
This phone number
and this notation
654
00:38:39,831 --> 00:38:42,891
and this description of you.
655
00:38:42,967 --> 00:38:46,130
Come on, you know what it
means now, don't you?
656
00:38:46,738 --> 00:38:48,729
We talked
to Regan's nanny.
657
00:38:48,806 --> 00:38:51,900
She heard the messages
men left on your machine.
658
00:38:52,610 --> 00:38:56,876
She knows what you were doing when
you came home late or not at all.
659
00:39:00,051 --> 00:39:02,713
I don't have to explain
myself to you.
660
00:39:03,254 --> 00:39:07,748
You haven't explained yourself at all,
to anyone, much less your daughter.
661
00:39:09,027 --> 00:39:12,292
You know that once he figures this
out, he will use it to vilify you.
662
00:39:12,363 --> 00:39:14,854
He will cast you
as a bad mother,
663
00:39:14,932 --> 00:39:17,696
who has abandoned
their child to...
664
00:39:19,470 --> 00:39:21,961
To satisfy her
pathological lust.
665
00:39:22,707 --> 00:39:25,733
He will drive a wedge
between you and Regan.
666
00:39:25,810 --> 00:39:28,108
Regan, who thinks that
you were absent in her life
667
00:39:28,179 --> 00:39:31,740
because you were working
so hard to provide for her.
668
00:39:31,816 --> 00:39:34,080
Please, put yourself
in my place.
669
00:39:34,152 --> 00:39:36,211
How could I ever tell her
what I was doing?
670
00:39:36,287 --> 00:39:39,654
No, you cannot tell her,
but now your ex-husband will.
671
00:39:40,324 --> 00:39:42,224
And she will believe that
this bond between you,
672
00:39:42,293 --> 00:39:45,319
the one that you worked
so hard to salvage,
673
00:39:45,396 --> 00:39:48,854
was based on nothing
but lies and mistrust.
674
00:39:50,435 --> 00:39:52,835
And then she'll
be lost to you.
675
00:39:54,806 --> 00:39:58,435
No, you can't let this happen.
You can't let Jim see it.
676
00:39:58,509 --> 00:40:00,170
You can't, please.
677
00:40:00,511 --> 00:40:04,504
I'm sorry, but as long as Mr.
Radcliff remains our suspect, he...
678
00:40:05,183 --> 00:40:07,651
He has a right
to this evidence.
679
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,984
I beg you, please, for my daughter's
sake, what it would do to her.
680
00:40:11,055 --> 00:40:13,785
She's hurt herself
so much. Please.
681
00:40:16,327 --> 00:40:18,761
As long as he
remains a suspect,
682
00:40:18,830 --> 00:40:20,161
that's what you said,
Mr. Carver?
683
00:40:20,231 --> 00:40:21,255
Hmm-hmm.
684
00:40:21,332 --> 00:40:25,894
But if he stops being a suspect, then
he's not entitled to see this, right?
685
00:40:26,170 --> 00:40:28,968
Yes, but it would take a lot
to convince me of his innocence.
686
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:30,439
Kay, we've done
all we could here.
687
00:40:30,508 --> 00:40:34,604
Hang on. What would it take
to convince you, Mr. Carver?
688
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,181
Someone else confessing
to McKenna's murder?
689
00:40:40,518 --> 00:40:42,383
Yes. That would do it.
690
00:40:45,389 --> 00:40:46,378
Kay, come on.
691
00:40:46,457 --> 00:40:49,392
No, but isn't it true
that if she confessed,
692
00:40:51,262 --> 00:40:54,390
then your behavior at
that club 14 years ago,
693
00:40:55,299 --> 00:40:57,631
it would not have
to be exposed.
694
00:41:01,139 --> 00:41:03,573
If she confessed and
agreed to a plea bargain,
695
00:41:03,641 --> 00:41:07,133
she would not have to reveal
the motives of her acts.
696
00:41:07,211 --> 00:41:10,510
And this address book,
the only existing copy of it?
697
00:41:10,982 --> 00:41:14,884
If she waived the right to appeal,
the copy would be destroyed.
698
00:41:15,219 --> 00:41:18,313
And then the past would
be in the past, you see?
699
00:41:18,723 --> 00:41:22,090
And nobody could use it
against you or to hurt Regan.
700
00:41:22,894 --> 00:41:27,593
You could tell her you killed McKenna
to stop him from blackmailing her father.
701
00:41:27,665 --> 00:41:29,394
You'll be her hero.
702
00:41:33,337 --> 00:41:35,737
And then she'll stand by you,
703
00:41:35,807 --> 00:41:38,708
and if sometime you have the
strength to tell her the truth,
704
00:41:38,776 --> 00:41:40,903
then you tell her the truth.
705
00:41:43,915 --> 00:41:46,850
But until then, this is
what you have to do.
706
00:41:50,254 --> 00:41:51,653
Yes.
Kay.
707
00:41:52,924 --> 00:41:56,917
No, I can't... I can't lose
her. I can't lose her again.
708
00:42:02,066 --> 00:42:04,660
I thought my name might be
in the book, and then
709
00:42:04,735 --> 00:42:08,694
I saw at the preview that it
wasn't just my name, but Jim's.
710
00:42:08,773 --> 00:42:11,367
You knew he would try to buy it,
to protect his political future.
711
00:42:11,442 --> 00:42:12,500
Yes.
712
00:42:13,644 --> 00:42:15,236
And I was so relieved
when that woman got it.
713
00:42:15,313 --> 00:42:18,942
But then Rob killed her and
tried to sell the book to Jim.
714
00:42:20,318 --> 00:42:21,615
And he...
715
00:42:24,222 --> 00:42:27,988
He would turn her against me.
He would.
716
00:42:30,094 --> 00:42:32,119
I couldn't run that risk.
717
00:42:35,266 --> 00:42:36,756
She loves me.
718
00:42:38,669 --> 00:42:40,466
And she's all I have.
719
00:42:52,683 --> 00:42:54,878
Did you catch Jim Radcliff's
press conference this morning?
720
00:42:54,952 --> 00:42:58,149
We were too busy sugaring our coffees
at a crime scene. What did we miss?
721
00:42:58,222 --> 00:43:00,747
Since his ex-wife will be
spending 20-to-life in prison,
722
00:43:00,825 --> 00:43:03,817
Mr. Radcliff is withdrawing
from the primaries
723
00:43:03,895 --> 00:43:06,523
to devote more time
to their daughter.
724
00:43:07,231 --> 00:43:09,028
Who wants to do
the honors?
725
00:43:09,100 --> 00:43:10,761
It's all yours, Counselor.
726
00:43:11,235 --> 00:43:12,702
Harmless fun.
