considered a suspect.

of the crime is that
you somehow tried to make it

they get you to the precinct,

00:07:28,855 --> 00:07:32,624
information that could...
exonerate your client.
179
00:07:32,626 --> 00:07:33,658
Oh.
180
00:07:33,660 --> 00:07:35,772
But there are conditions.
181
00:07:36,523 --> 00:07:38,563
Full disclosure:
lead attorney on this case
182
00:07:38,565 --> 00:07:40,632
doesn't work for me, I work for him.
183
00:07:40,634 --> 00:07:43,368
And so if you have some kind
of proposition in mind...
184
00:07:43,370 --> 00:07:45,436
Oh, I'm very familiar with Mr. Bedford.
185
00:07:45,438 --> 00:07:47,438
And he is very familiar with me.
186
00:07:48,034 --> 00:07:49,707
I wrote a book three years ago
187
00:07:49,709 --> 00:07:51,509
in which he plays a significant role.
188
00:07:51,511 --> 00:07:54,279
I don't think he found
my portrayal accurate
189
00:07:54,281 --> 00:07:56,514
or... particularly flattering.
190
00:07:56,516 --> 00:07:57,447
Mm.
191
00:07:57,449 --> 00:07:59,984
And I doubt
Mrs. Lexington's a fan, either.
192
00:08:00,373 --> 00:08:01,519
Got it.
193
00:08:01,521 --> 00:08:03,354
So what are you looking for?
194
00:08:03,356 --> 00:08:06,124
What am I trading
for whatever's in that folder?
195
00:08:06,126 --> 00:08:08,493
Access... and I mean to everything.
196
00:08:08,495 --> 00:08:10,161
Client meetings, strategy sessions,
197
00:08:10,163 --> 00:08:12,196
prison visits, if it comes to that.
198
00:08:12,642 --> 00:08:14,223
I want to write the definitive book,
199
00:08:14,225 --> 00:08:15,366
and with that kind of access...
200
00:08:15,368 --> 00:08:17,969
You'll have publishing houses
fighting over it. I get it.
201
00:08:17,971 --> 00:08:19,404
But, as I already indicated,
202
00:08:19,406 --> 00:08:22,440
Bedford is the captain
of this particular team,
203
00:08:22,442 --> 00:08:24,242
and if he doesn't like you...
204
00:08:24,244 --> 00:08:27,412
I'm counting on you to convince him.
205
00:08:27,414 --> 00:08:29,280
And Mrs. Lexington.
206
00:08:29,282 --> 00:08:31,316
And anyone else necessary.
207
00:08:33,330 --> 00:08:35,019
All right, let me say this back to you,
208
00:08:35,021 --> 00:08:36,321
see if I understand it.
209
00:08:36,323 --> 00:08:39,023
You supposedly have information
that will prove my client
210
00:08:39,025 --> 00:08:41,959
did not commit the crime
of which she is accused,
211
00:08:41,961 --> 00:08:43,828
and you are completely comfortable
212
00:08:43,830 --> 00:08:46,531
not providing this information
and allowing her to spend
213
00:08:46,533 --> 00:08:49,534
the rest of her life in prison,
unless you get what you want.
214
00:08:49,536 --> 00:08:51,069
Have I got that right?
215
00:08:51,071 --> 00:08:52,140
No.
216
00:08:52,472 --> 00:08:54,339
You and your colleagues have been offered
217
00:08:54,341 --> 00:08:56,474
potential intelligence
that could be the key
218
00:08:56,476 --> 00:08:58,743
to your client's freedom,
and you're unwilling
219
00:08:58,745 --> 00:09:00,878
to do what's necessary to get it
220
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,581
and keep her from being in
prison for the rest of her life.
221
00:09:03,583 --> 00:09:05,116
Oh.
222
00:09:05,118 --> 00:09:07,281
I believe that's
a more accurate portrayal
223
00:09:07,283 --> 00:09:08,319
of what's going on here.
224
00:09:08,321 --> 00:09:10,521
- Okay.
- Think about it.
225
00:09:10,523 --> 00:09:13,828
I left my number
with the nice lady outside.
226
00:09:16,296 --> 00:09:18,262
I wouldn't wait by the phone.
227
00:09:18,264 --> 00:09:19,430

Synced & corrected by -robtor-
www.addic7ed.com
229
00:09:32,134 --> 00:09:33,778
Trial by social media... that's really
230
00:09:33,803 --> 00:09:34,968
what we're talking about here.
231
00:09:34,970 --> 00:09:36,570
Everyone in America
232
00:09:36,572 --> 00:09:39,213
has been weighing in
on Rebecca Lexington's guilt.
233
00:09:39,238 --> 00:09:42,105
In the last 48 hours,
her name alone has generated
234
00:09:42,107 --> 00:09:44,641
- over three million hits.
- 3.8.
235
00:09:44,643 --> 00:09:46,376
Each one of those hits represents
236
00:09:46,378 --> 00:09:49,646
exactly the kind of juror
the other side wants.
237
00:09:49,648 --> 00:09:51,179
The type of person
238
00:09:51,181 --> 00:09:53,784
who will happily buy into
this tabloid narrative
239
00:09:53,786 --> 00:09:56,320
of a fairy-tale marriage on the rocks,
240
00:09:56,322 --> 00:09:58,755
a scheming wife, a faked crime scene.
241
00:09:58,757 --> 00:10:00,657
Sensationalists, fantasists.
242
00:10:00,659 --> 00:10:02,960
People susceptible to drama and scandal.
243
00:10:02,962 --> 00:10:05,462
And they are gonna make up
the vast majority
244
00:10:05,464 --> 00:10:06,382
of our jury pool.
245
00:10:06,384 --> 00:10:09,733
Look, Rebecca Lexington
is not a bad person.
246
00:10:09,735 --> 00:10:11,401
She married into the family
247
00:10:11,403 --> 00:10:14,237
hoping she was going to be
their Princess Diana.
248
00:10:14,239 --> 00:10:16,974
Instead, she got cast as their Camilla.
249
00:10:16,976 --> 00:10:20,677
The question is: what do we do now?
250
00:10:21,104 --> 00:10:22,846
Ever heard of Occam's razor?
251
00:10:22,848 --> 00:10:26,249
The idea that if there are
two explanations for something,
252
00:10:26,251 --> 00:10:30,087
the simpler explanation
is usually the correct one.
253
00:10:30,089 --> 00:10:32,656
Another way of saying it is:
the more assumptions
254
00:10:32,658 --> 00:10:35,025
you have to make
for a theory to make sense,
255
00:10:35,027 --> 00:10:36,560
the more unlikely that theory is.
256
00:10:36,562 --> 00:10:37,995
We need jurors
257
00:10:37,997 --> 00:10:41,965
who subscribe to the former and
are suspicious of the latter.
258
00:10:41,967 --> 00:10:43,467
Wouldn't you know it,
259
00:10:43,469 --> 00:10:46,203
I go out to my car today, tire's flat.
260
00:10:46,205 --> 00:10:48,381
I have no idea how that happened.
261
00:10:49,041 --> 00:10:51,375
Anyone want to hazard a guess?
262
00:10:51,377 --> 00:10:53,477
You're a famous attorney.
263
00:10:53,479 --> 00:10:57,280
Probably made a lot of enemies
over the years.
264
00:10:57,282 --> 00:10:59,726
Maybe one of them slashed it.
265
00:11:02,187 --> 00:11:04,888
Your Honor, we move to strike this juror.
266
00:11:05,523 --> 00:11:06,990
How about you?
267
00:11:06,992 --> 00:11:08,258
What's your theory?
268
00:11:08,260 --> 00:11:09,493
I don't know.
269
00:11:09,495 --> 00:11:12,362
I-I'm thinking you probably
just ran over a nail.
270
00:11:12,739 --> 00:11:15,241
You know, I'm thinking the same thing.
271
00:11:16,201 --> 00:11:18,161
Your Honor, this juror is acceptable.
272
00:11:18,537 --> 00:11:21,738
What we want is a juror
who's gonna ask him or herself,
273
00:11:21,740 --> 00:11:24,574
"Is it more likely that Rebecca Lexington
274
00:11:24,576 --> 00:11:27,344
"drove 35 miles home to Greenwich
275
00:11:27,346 --> 00:11:29,880
"after an early dinner,
executed her beloved husband
276
00:11:29,882 --> 00:11:32,382
"of 20 years
with a single shot to the head,
277
00:11:32,384 --> 00:11:34,651
"staged a crime scene
to look like a break-in,
278
00:11:34,653 --> 00:11:36,953
"and then somehow disposed of the gun
279
00:11:36,955 --> 00:11:39,189
"in a place the police
could never find, all before
280
00:11:39,191 --> 00:11:41,425
the police responded to the burglary?"
281
00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:44,995
Our ideal juror
is gonna like things clean,
282
00:11:44,997 --> 00:11:48,298
straightforward and uncomplicated.
283
00:11:48,300 --> 00:11:50,233
What's your favorite movie?
284
00:11:50,693 --> 00:11:52,569
Anything by Christopher Nolan.
285
00:11:52,571 --> 00:11:54,405
Oh, yeah, he's great.
286
00:11:55,808 --> 00:11:57,507
Your Honor, we move to strike
287
00:11:57,509 --> 00:11:59,276
both of these jurors.
288
00:11:59,278 --> 00:12:01,278
And how about you, miss?
289
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,180
Me? Oh.
290
00:12:03,182 --> 00:12:06,149
I like horror movies and also comedy.
291
00:12:06,151 --> 00:12:08,585
Oh, Adam Sandler... he makes me laugh.
292
00:12:11,156 --> 00:12:13,023
This juror is acceptable.
293
00:12:13,025 --> 00:12:14,725
We have our jury.
294
00:12:14,727 --> 00:12:16,406
Trial will begin day after tomorrow.
295
00:12:17,429 --> 00:12:18,995
How'd we do?
296
00:12:18,997 --> 00:12:21,431
We... did okay.
297
00:12:21,433 --> 00:12:23,600
Four jurors... we're a third
of the way there.
298
00:12:23,602 --> 00:12:26,970
Now all we have to do is not
lose ours to the other side
299
00:12:26,972 --> 00:12:29,673
and, uh, get the other side
to see things our way.
300
00:12:30,108 --> 00:12:31,641
You're very smart.
301
00:12:31,643 --> 00:12:32,489
Well...
302
00:12:32,491 --> 00:12:35,078
I'm very pleased that
you are working with us.
303
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,214
Very pleased that Henry
reached out to you.
304
00:12:37,216 --> 00:12:39,616
Do you think that you
could swing by the house
305
00:12:39,618 --> 00:12:41,184
and meet my daughter, Olivia?
306
00:12:41,186 --> 00:12:43,787
She's beside herself with all of this.
307
00:12:43,789 --> 00:12:46,590
I think meeting you would
make all the difference.
308
00:12:47,375 --> 00:12:48,372
Love to.
309
00:12:49,245 --> 00:12:50,427
Thank you.
310
00:12:52,963 --> 00:12:53,897
KENDALL: Dr. Bull.
311
00:12:54,889 --> 00:12:56,094
Oh, Ms. Tyler.
312
00:12:56,096 --> 00:12:58,769
Oh, don't look so surprised.
It's a public courtroom.
313
00:12:58,771 --> 00:13:01,471
And I'm writing my book
with or without you.
314
00:13:01,473 --> 00:13:03,140
Though, frankly, I'd rather write it
315
00:13:03,142 --> 00:13:04,808
from the inside than the outside.
316
00:13:04,810 --> 00:13:06,476
I think we've already had
this conversation.
317
00:13:06,478 --> 00:13:07,644
If you'll excuse me.
318
00:13:07,646 --> 00:13:09,412
Since you're going to the house,
319
00:13:09,414 --> 00:13:12,015
ask about the oil. (CHUCKLES)
320
00:13:12,017 --> 00:13:13,716
You need me, Dr. Bull.
321
00:13:13,718 --> 00:13:14,978
I know things.
322
00:13:26,078 --> 00:13:27,905
These beautiful old homes.
323
00:13:28,834 --> 00:13:30,767
Boiler's a hundred years old.
324
00:13:31,586 --> 00:13:33,703
It's forever giving out.
325
00:13:33,705 --> 00:13:35,839
Can I grab you a drink?
326
00:13:35,841 --> 00:13:37,284
It's the maid's day off.
327
00:13:37,286 --> 00:13:39,676
No, I'm good, Henry. Thanks.
328
00:13:39,678 --> 00:13:43,046
There is the good doctor. Dr. Bull.
329
00:13:43,048 --> 00:13:45,882
I'd like to introduce you
to my daughter, Olivia.
330
00:13:45,884 --> 00:13:47,017
Dr. Bull.
331
00:13:47,019 --> 00:13:48,518
Ah, Olivia.
332
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:49,979
It's nice to meet you.
333
00:13:50,730 --> 00:13:52,556
I'm sorry about your father.
334
00:13:52,558 --> 00:13:54,191
And I'm sorry about
335
00:13:54,193 --> 00:13:56,193
all that your mother's
been going through.
336
00:13:56,195 --> 00:13:57,612
I know it's a lot.
337
00:13:58,797 --> 00:14:01,032
Your mom tells me you're nervous.
338
00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:05,268
I just want you to know
that's understandable.
339
00:14:05,870 --> 00:14:06,979
After all,
340
00:14:06,981 --> 00:14:09,673
you really are her alibi.
341
00:14:10,667 --> 00:14:12,008
In any event,
342
00:14:12,010 --> 00:14:13,476
if I can get you and your mom
343
00:14:13,478 --> 00:14:15,145
to come to my offices tomorrow...
344
00:14:15,147 --> 00:14:16,406
Oh, really? Tomorrow? I was
hoping that we would have...
345
00:14:16,408 --> 00:14:19,316
I think it's important
to take the one free day we have
346
00:14:19,318 --> 00:14:21,785
and prepare you both
for the witness stand.
347
00:14:21,787 --> 00:14:24,054
I think it would help Olivia, and I know
348
00:14:24,056 --> 00:14:27,892
it would be enlightening
for you and Henry.
349
00:14:29,557 --> 00:14:31,990
Henry, where's the heat?
350
00:14:31,992 --> 00:14:33,192
Where's the oil?
351
00:14:33,194 --> 00:14:34,526
Excuse me?
352
00:14:34,528 --> 00:14:36,929
Look, I told you,
these old houses, it's just...
353
00:14:36,931 --> 00:14:38,897
Knock it off. Where's the help?
354
00:14:39,529 --> 00:14:40,933
It's the maid's night off.
355
00:14:40,935 --> 00:14:42,907
More like the maid's month off.
356
00:14:43,270 --> 00:14:45,372
These people are broke, Henry.
357
00:14:45,374 --> 00:14:47,006
Look, if you're worried
about getting paid...
358
00:14:47,008 --> 00:14:49,074
Well, first and foremost,
now that you've attached
359
00:14:49,076 --> 00:14:51,343
my name to it, I'm worried about winning.
360
00:14:51,345 --> 00:14:52,678
I'm worried about doing my job.
361
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,080
Let me tell you about me.
I traffic in the truth.
362
00:14:55,082 --> 00:14:57,483
I know when I'm hearing it,
and I know when I'm not.
363
00:14:57,485 --> 00:14:59,351
And at the moment,
364
00:14:59,353 --> 00:15:00,753
it's in fairly short supply.
365
00:15:00,755 --> 00:15:02,254
- Jason...
- And I know
366
00:15:02,256 --> 00:15:05,457
that that doesn't necessarily
mean your client is guilty.
367
00:15:05,459 --> 00:15:08,727
But I also know I cannot win this thing
368
00:15:08,729 --> 00:15:12,097
if people think they're gonna
lie their way through it.
369
00:15:13,601 --> 00:15:15,501
So if you want my help,
370
00:15:15,503 --> 00:15:19,004
you and your clients will be at my office
371
00:15:19,006 --> 00:15:21,640
at 10:00 tomorrow morning.
372
00:15:21,642 --> 00:15:23,442
Understood?
373
00:15:24,945 --> 00:15:26,993
Understood.
374
00:15:36,016 --> 00:15:37,816
Something about sitting in this chair,
375
00:15:37,818 --> 00:15:39,751
taking the oath, it changes you.
376
00:15:40,333 --> 00:15:42,966
And I want both of you
to be ready for that.
377
00:15:42,968 --> 00:15:45,323
At the same time, it gives us a chance
378
00:15:45,325 --> 00:15:48,159
to see if your stories
hold up under scrutiny.
379
00:15:48,161 --> 00:15:51,229
Mr. Colón will play the role
of prosecutor.
380
00:15:51,231 --> 00:15:53,598
But remember, this isn't really court,
381
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,102
so if anyone has
anything to say, feel free.
382
00:15:57,104 --> 00:15:58,803
Sing out.
383
00:15:58,805 --> 00:16:00,405
It won't be held against you.
384
00:16:00,407 --> 00:16:02,574
Let the games begin. Mr. Colón.
385
00:16:06,146 --> 00:16:08,479
Good morning, Ms. Lexington.
386
00:16:08,748 --> 00:16:11,449
My condolences
on the death of your father.
387
00:16:11,871 --> 00:16:13,351
Um, thank you.
388
00:16:13,353 --> 00:16:16,554
Now, is it your testimony
that the night of the murder,
389
00:16:16,556 --> 00:16:19,687
your mother was 35 miles
away from home with you
390
00:16:19,687 --> 00:16:21,053
in New York City?
391
00:16:21,055 --> 00:16:22,288
Yes, sir.
392
00:16:22,290 --> 00:16:24,257
And what were you two doing that evening?
393
00:16:24,259 --> 00:16:26,192
Uh, we had dinner at Del Posto.
394
00:16:26,886 --> 00:16:28,527
Do you recall what time?
395
00:16:28,529 --> 00:16:30,563
It was around 6:00.
396
00:16:30,565 --> 00:16:31,731
And what time did it finish?
397
00:16:31,733 --> 00:16:34,200
- Uh, it was about 8:00.
- 8:00 p.m.
398
00:16:34,202 --> 00:16:36,636
And the burglar alarm
indicating the break-in
399
00:16:36,638 --> 00:16:41,607
and the probable time of death
was at 7:20.
400
00:16:42,944 --> 00:16:44,176
I don't know.
401
00:16:44,178 --> 00:16:46,322
I mean, I mean,
if that's what they told you.
402
00:16:47,573 --> 00:16:50,383
You sure it was Del Posto
where you and your mother ate?
403
00:16:50,385 --> 00:16:51,744
Of course.
404
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,088
Would you happen to have
a receipt for the meal?
405
00:16:56,666 --> 00:16:57,957
Excuse me?
406
00:16:57,959 --> 00:16:59,325
A receipt.
407
00:16:59,327 --> 00:17:01,627
To show that you were there,
to prove that you paid,
408
00:17:01,629 --> 00:17:03,963
because Del Posto has no record
409
00:17:03,965 --> 00:17:06,966
of serving you or your
mother that evening.
410
00:17:06,968 --> 00:17:08,434
No credit card,
411
00:17:08,436 --> 00:17:10,636
no reservation under the name Lexington.
412
00:17:10,638 --> 00:17:12,204
REBECCA: Honey?
413
00:17:13,041 --> 00:17:15,441
(CHUCKLES) Because we paid with cash.
414
00:17:15,443 --> 00:17:17,043
Do you remember?
415
00:17:18,046 --> 00:17:19,745
I paid... I paid with cash.
416
00:17:20,064 --> 00:17:21,213
And there's no record of the reservation
417
00:17:21,215 --> 00:17:22,848
because we just walked in off the street
418
00:17:22,850 --> 00:17:24,817
and asked for a table for two.
419
00:17:24,819 --> 00:17:26,218
Didn't give a name.
420
00:17:27,755 --> 00:17:29,188
Oh.
421
00:17:31,033 --> 00:17:33,559
Is that how you remember it?
422
00:17:33,561 --> 00:17:35,621
Uh, yes. Okay.
423
00:17:35,997 --> 00:17:39,131
Because Del Posto was
completely sold out that night.
424
00:17:39,133 --> 00:17:41,233
They told us that there was no way
425
00:17:41,235 --> 00:17:45,006
that they would or could seat
anyone without a reservation.
426
00:17:46,215 --> 00:17:50,009
Do you know what the penalty is
for providing
427
00:17:50,011 --> 00:17:53,222
false testimony in
a murder trial in Connecticut?
428
00:17:55,283 --> 00:17:57,917
Even to protect one's own mother?
429
00:17:57,919 --> 00:17:59,719
All right, all right, that's enough.
430
00:17:59,721 --> 00:18:01,654
You are terrifying my daughter.
431
00:18:01,656 --> 00:18:03,322
What would you have us do,
Mrs. Lexington?
432
00:18:03,324 --> 00:18:05,191
You offered her up as a sacrificial lamb.
433
00:18:05,193 --> 00:18:07,626
It's clear the two of you didn't
have dinner in that restaurant.
434
00:18:07,628 --> 00:18:08,894
I'm guessing you weren't even together.
435
00:18:08,896 --> 00:18:10,496
- Jason.
- OLIVIA: No, you're wrong.
436
00:18:10,498 --> 00:18:11,497
We were.
437
00:18:11,499 --> 00:18:13,032
We were together. We were there.
438
00:18:13,034 --> 00:18:14,533
She wasn't anywhere near the house.
439
00:18:14,535 --> 00:18:15,828
Olivia.
440
00:18:16,191 --> 00:18:17,657
They're ahead of us.
441
00:18:19,273 --> 00:18:23,175
And they are here trying
to help us, I think.
442
00:18:25,013 --> 00:18:28,549
Can we speak in private?
Just you and me and Henry.
443
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,488
I am not unaware of what people
think of me... the press,
444
00:18:35,490 --> 00:18:36,956
the public.
445
00:18:36,958 --> 00:18:40,459
And it is difficult sometimes
446
00:18:40,461 --> 00:18:43,462
to think clearly,
especially when you know
447
00:18:43,464 --> 00:18:46,532
that people have opinions about you.
448
00:18:50,488 --> 00:18:52,671
I was not in New York City on the night
449
00:18:52,673 --> 00:18:53,906
that my husband was murdered.
450
00:18:53,908 --> 00:18:56,342
I was in Greenwich, and
I was having a meeting
451
00:18:56,344 --> 00:18:57,411
with an attorney.
452
00:18:57,912 --> 00:18:59,712
A divorce attorney.
453
00:19:00,498 --> 00:19:01,846
Did you know about this?
454
00:19:01,848 --> 00:19:04,050
I introduced her to the attorney,
455
00:19:04,052 --> 00:19:06,819
but I was unaware
that that is where she was
456
00:19:06,821 --> 00:19:09,288
on the night she claimed
to be in New York City.
457
00:19:09,290 --> 00:19:11,323
Well, how would that have looked?
458
00:19:11,634 --> 00:19:13,559
The night that my husband
is shot to death,
459
00:19:13,561 --> 00:19:15,736
I'm off plotting to leave the marriage?
460
00:19:15,738 --> 00:19:17,163
Well, it would've looked horrible.
461
00:19:17,165 --> 00:19:18,531
But it would've looked like the truth.
462
00:19:18,533 --> 00:19:21,331
Trust me, the other side can
smell the stink on your alibi.
463
00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:23,369
We are gonna have to
get out in front of it
464
00:19:23,371 --> 00:19:25,271
when we get to court tomorrow.
465
00:19:25,273 --> 00:19:27,273
(INHALES DEEPLY)
466
00:19:27,275 --> 00:19:28,774
Let's work together
467
00:19:28,776 --> 00:19:30,910
on your opening statement.
468
00:19:31,779 --> 00:19:33,345
Is there anything else?
469
00:19:34,916 --> 00:19:36,515
Tell me about the marriage.
470
00:19:37,952 --> 00:19:40,519
Our only child just moved out
and went to college.
471
00:19:40,521 --> 00:19:43,499
Suddenly there was
nothing to hide behind.
472
00:19:44,425 --> 00:19:46,961
No one to put up a facade for.
473
00:19:47,595 --> 00:19:49,255
Tell him the rest.
474
00:19:51,499 --> 00:19:53,699
My husband has... (SIGHS)
475
00:19:55,136 --> 00:19:58,556
...had a very serious gambling problem.
476
00:19:59,807 --> 00:20:02,007
If his family didn't
own our home outright,
477
00:20:02,009 --> 00:20:03,843
then that would've been gone long ago.
478
00:20:03,845 --> 00:20:06,445
If it was liquid, Jeremy would spend it.
479
00:20:06,447 --> 00:20:09,248
His mother and his father
cut him off years ago.
480
00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:11,217
And that's why there's no heat?
481
00:20:11,219 --> 00:20:12,718
Is that why there's no help?
482
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,254
We were almost to the bottom of the well.
483
00:20:16,449 --> 00:20:17,890
Before Halloween,
484
00:20:17,892 --> 00:20:21,727
we sold what was left of the stocks
485
00:20:21,729 --> 00:20:25,464
so that we could pay for
Olivia's tuition next semester,
486
00:20:25,466 --> 00:20:29,068
but... Jeremy found a way to gamble that
487
00:20:29,070 --> 00:20:31,797
before it even got to
the bursar, and that was it.
488
00:20:32,406 --> 00:20:34,440
I told him I was done.
489
00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:37,943
I told him that I was
going to see someone about
490
00:20:37,945 --> 00:20:39,812
- putting an end to it.
- How'd he take it?
491
00:20:39,814 --> 00:20:41,780
He was apoplectic.
492
00:20:43,651 --> 00:20:44,884
(SIGHS)
493
00:20:44,886 --> 00:20:46,852
Shall I start with the bad news?
494
00:20:46,854 --> 00:20:48,888
The state attorney's office
almost certainly knows
495
00:20:48,890 --> 00:20:50,589
about your husband's gambling.
496
00:20:50,591 --> 00:20:53,325
That is very tough to keep secret.
497
00:20:53,327 --> 00:20:54,862
But the good news is...
498
00:20:56,030 --> 00:20:57,396
if you're telling the truth
499
00:20:57,398 --> 00:20:59,732
about the family having no money,
500
00:20:59,734 --> 00:21:02,434
you really have no motive
to kill your husband.
501
00:21:05,306 --> 00:21:06,972
Am I missing something?
502
00:21:09,710 --> 00:21:11,610
There's an insurance policy.
503
00:21:11,612 --> 00:21:15,706
Jeremy insisted that we
buy it six months ago.
504
00:21:15,708 --> 00:21:19,451
$25 million on his life.
505
00:21:19,453 --> 00:21:23,622
And, of course, I am the beneficiary.
506
00:21:25,893 --> 00:21:28,894
Forget everything I said after
"the good news is."
507
00:21:36,752 --> 00:21:40,065
You think you know her... wife, mother,
508
00:21:40,090 --> 00:21:42,858
philanthropist, socialite.
509
00:21:42,860 --> 00:21:46,998
Married into one of the richest
families in the country.
510
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,964
But you don't know her.
511
00:21:48,966 --> 00:21:51,700
This spoiled member of the one percent
512
00:21:51,702 --> 00:21:54,236
who suddenly discovered
that she was going to lose
513
00:21:54,238 --> 00:21:56,738
her extravagant lifestyle.
514
00:21:56,740 --> 00:21:59,041
Suddenly discovered that her husband,
515
00:21:59,043 --> 00:22:02,110
a handsome and much-admired member
516
00:22:02,112 --> 00:22:05,447
of the Lexington dynasty,
had been secretly
517
00:22:05,449 --> 00:22:09,151
gambling away
the family's fortune for years.
518

(GALLERY MURMURING)

00:22:10,487 --> 00:22:12,955
The fortune that was supposed to be

her and her daughter's future.

_
522
00:22:17,426 --> 00:22:18,427
So she killed him.
523
00:22:19,255 --> 00:22:21,930
Murdered her husband of 20 years,
524
00:22:21,932 --> 00:22:24,099
not only to reap the satisfaction
525
00:22:24,101 --> 00:22:27,336
of slaying the man who betrayed
her and their daughter,
526
00:22:27,338 --> 00:22:32,307
but also because with his death
came a life insurance check
527
00:22:32,309 --> 00:22:35,611
for $25 million.
528
00:22:35,613 --> 00:22:38,180
- (GALLERY MURMURING)
- And lest you think
529
00:22:38,182 --> 00:22:41,083
this murder was an act of passion,
530
00:22:41,302 --> 00:22:45,520
even her husband sensed a plan was afoot.

00:22:45,522 --> 00:22:47,141
The night of his murder...
532
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,479
he left his wife a voice mail, a plea.
533
00:22:52,096 --> 00:22:54,229
JEREMY: Becky, honey, I'm sorry.
534
00:22:54,607 --> 00:22:55,797
I know you're mad.
535
00:22:55,799 --> 00:22:57,651
I know you hate me.
536
00:22:58,035 --> 00:23:00,335
But you have to believe I love you.
537
00:23:00,337 --> 00:23:03,171
And you have to believe
I'm trying to make this right.
538

- (GALLERY MURMURING)
- BEDFORD: Now, I'm sure
539
00:23:05,442 --> 00:23:09,177
you're all familiar with
the term "guilt by association."
540
00:23:10,331 --> 00:23:11,726
Have you ever heard of the term
541
00:23:11,728 --> 00:23:13,982
"guilt by accusation"?
542
00:23:13,984 --> 00:23:16,284
This is when a person's reputation
543
00:23:16,286 --> 00:23:20,630
is so notorious that,
unlike the rest of us,
544
00:23:20,632 --> 00:23:22,958
who are innocent until proven guilty,
545
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,961
these people,
for all intents and purposes,
546
00:23:25,963 --> 00:23:29,064
are guilty,
until they're proven innocent.
547
00:23:29,725 --> 00:23:31,166
The prosecutor
548
00:23:31,168 --> 00:23:33,201
is going to tell you all about
549
00:23:33,203 --> 00:23:36,938
the mean things that Rebecca
Lexington has supposedly said
550
00:23:36,940 --> 00:23:39,307
and done to people throughout her life.
551
00:23:39,309 --> 00:23:42,544
This is how we get out in front
of the lies you told the police.
552
00:23:42,546 --> 00:23:44,346
None of that makes her a murderer.
553
00:23:44,348 --> 00:23:46,915
She'll even have
a police detective testify
554
00:23:46,917 --> 00:23:49,768
that Rebecca told them a different story
555
00:23:49,770 --> 00:23:51,319
than the one that she's going to tell you
556
00:23:51,321 --> 00:23:53,288
here in court.
557
00:23:53,833 --> 00:23:55,334
So...
558
00:23:56,919 --> 00:23:58,427
did Rebecca lie to the police
559
00:23:58,429 --> 00:24:01,563
when they first brought her in
and questioned her?
560
00:24:02,258 --> 00:24:02,998
Yes.
561
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,933
Yes, she did.
562
00:24:04,935 --> 00:24:05,967
She was terrified.
563
00:24:05,969 --> 00:24:07,736
She panicked.
564
00:24:07,738 --> 00:24:09,905
She knows what they think about her,
565
00:24:09,907 --> 00:24:13,442
and she didn't think that they
were going to believe the truth.
566
00:24:13,811 --> 00:24:15,977
But she's going to tell you the truth.
567
00:24:17,147 --> 00:24:19,900
And I'm telling you the truth right now.
568
00:24:21,926 --> 00:24:23,006
This woman...
569
00:24:23,654 --> 00:24:25,287
she did not kill her husband.
570
00:24:27,157 --> 00:24:28,590
That was very impressive.
571
00:24:28,592 --> 00:24:31,159
For a moment,
even I had a glimmer of hope.
572
00:24:31,161 --> 00:24:33,695
Mom, just tell them
they're doing a good job.
573
00:24:33,697 --> 00:24:35,499
They know that's what I mean.
574
00:24:41,380 --> 00:24:42,938
You folks go on ahead.
575
00:24:42,940 --> 00:24:44,592
I'll catch up.
576
00:24:49,833 --> 00:24:51,379
You don't give up.
577
00:24:51,381 --> 00:24:54,583
You mean my plea for access?
I gave up days ago.
578
00:24:54,585 --> 00:24:57,819
No, I'm not here to ask for anything.
579
00:24:57,821 --> 00:25:00,055
I'm here to give you something.
580
00:25:00,357 --> 00:25:01,590
Ah, what's that?
581
00:25:01,592 --> 00:25:02,991
It's a website.
582
00:25:02,993 --> 00:25:04,960
I think you might find it interesting.
583
00:25:05,529 --> 00:25:07,429
Jeremy certainly did.
584
00:25:08,324 --> 00:25:09,564
Wait a second.
585
00:25:10,784 --> 00:25:12,267
I didn't get a chance to thank you
586
00:25:12,269 --> 00:25:13,935
for that "oil" tip.
587
00:25:14,371 --> 00:25:15,570
You're welcome.
588
00:25:16,498 --> 00:25:17,572
How'd you know?
589
00:25:17,574 --> 00:25:19,674
How do you know... this?
590
00:25:20,044 --> 00:25:21,443
It's my life.
591
00:25:22,129 --> 00:25:23,378
Knowing about the Lexingtons.
592
00:25:23,380 --> 00:25:26,181
Talking to anyone who knows
anything about the Lexingtons.
593
00:25:26,183 --> 00:25:27,582
It's all I do.
594
00:25:27,584 --> 00:25:29,384
So why the sudden change of heart?
595
00:25:29,386 --> 00:25:31,787
Why the sudden... generosity?
596
00:25:34,016 --> 00:25:35,857
I thought about what you said.
597
00:25:35,859 --> 00:25:39,661
About how I would feel if
Rebecca spent her life in jail,
598
00:25:40,418 --> 00:25:42,564
when perhaps I could have
made a difference.
599
00:25:43,108 --> 00:25:44,166
And who knows,
600
00:25:44,168 --> 00:25:45,934
maybe if you win this case,
601
00:25:45,936 --> 00:25:48,804
you'll remember my kindness,
let me interview you,
602
00:25:49,156 --> 00:25:51,616
convince Mr. Bedford
to give me another chance,
603
00:25:52,066 --> 00:25:53,842
and perhaps even persuade Mrs. Lexington
604
00:25:53,844 --> 00:25:55,811
to sit with me.
605
00:25:55,813 --> 00:25:59,181
Well, like you said,
we'd have to win first.
606
00:26:00,876 --> 00:26:03,185
I have great faith in you, Dr. Bull.
607
00:26:05,047 --> 00:26:06,321
Ah.
608
00:26:09,187 --> 00:26:10,254
CABLE: I'm afraid this is going to be
609
00:26:10,256 --> 00:26:11,722
a long-term project, Dr. Bull.
610
00:26:11,724 --> 00:26:13,190
This address, if it's even legitimate,
611
00:26:13,192 --> 00:26:14,391
lives on the dark web.
612
00:26:14,393 --> 00:26:16,660
I may not have anything
for you until tomorrow.
613
00:26:16,662 --> 00:26:18,061
Ah.
614
00:26:18,063 --> 00:26:21,398
Well, then I'm gonna do
something I don't often do.
615
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:22,898
I'm going home.
616
00:26:23,169 --> 00:26:25,502
Wow. I forgot you had a home.
617
00:26:25,504 --> 00:26:28,405
Me, too. And then I saw
this key I didn't recognize
618
00:26:28,407 --> 00:26:31,742
on my key chain, and it all
came rushing back to me.
619
00:26:31,744 --> 00:26:33,911
- See you in the morning, Cable.
- Night, Dr. Bull.

- (GAVEL BANGS)
- JORDAN: Detective Gates,
621
00:26:35,581 --> 00:26:37,080
you're the lead homicide detective
622
00:26:37,082 --> 00:26:38,715
on the Jeremy Lexington murder, correct?
623
00:26:38,717 --> 00:26:39,883
Yes, ma'am.
624
00:26:39,885 --> 00:26:42,219
And did you visit the Lexingtons' home?
625
00:26:42,221 --> 00:26:43,287
Yes.
626
00:26:43,289 --> 00:26:44,955
And I believe you were the first
627
00:26:44,957 --> 00:26:47,534
to suggest the crime scene
had been staged.
628
00:26:47,536 --> 00:26:48,568
That's right.
629
00:26:48,570 --> 00:26:50,460
On what did you base that opinion?
630
00:26:50,462 --> 00:26:51,461
Couple of things...
631
00:26:51,463 --> 00:26:53,530
the biggest being the point of entry.
632
00:26:53,532 --> 00:26:55,177
The glass in the French doors.
633
00:26:55,179 --> 00:26:57,267
Yes. Made no sense.
634
00:26:57,683 --> 00:26:59,240
Breaking glass makes noise.
635
00:26:59,242 --> 00:27:00,938
Noise is something you want to avoid
636
00:27:00,940 --> 00:27:02,806
if you're breaking into a home.
637
00:27:02,808 --> 00:27:04,541
Also, when we arrived on the scene,
638
00:27:04,543 --> 00:27:06,910
the lights were on; there's
no way that intruder went
639
00:27:06,912 --> 00:27:09,479
through those doors and didn't
know that somebody was home.
640
00:27:09,481 --> 00:27:11,582
Again, makes no sense.
641
00:27:11,584 --> 00:27:14,017
A professional... he sees that,
642
00:27:14,019 --> 00:27:16,050
he's gonna find
another house to hit pronto.
643
00:27:16,052 --> 00:27:18,422
Objection! Facts not in evidence.
644
00:27:18,424 --> 00:27:19,656
Overruled.
645
00:27:19,658 --> 00:27:21,291
(QUIETLY): I'm just a glutton
for punishment.
646
00:27:21,293 --> 00:27:22,392
What's the view

00:27:22,394 --> 00:27:23,694
from where you're sitting?
648
00:27:23,696 --> 00:27:25,762
It's not pretty. The mirror jurors
649
00:27:25,764 --> 00:27:29,132
are buying into the staged crime
scene theory across the board.
650
00:27:29,134 --> 00:27:31,085
Well, that's because
it makes perfect sense.

Now, immediately after the crime,
653
00:27:34,265 --> 00:27:36,807
who did you zero in on as a suspect?
654
00:27:36,809 --> 00:27:38,008
Mrs. Lexington.
655
00:27:38,010 --> 00:27:39,810
JORDAN: And what led you to her?
656
00:27:39,812 --> 00:27:42,779
You've been doing this long
enough, you just kind of know.
657
00:27:42,781 --> 00:27:44,681
- JORDAN: So you questioned her?
- I did.
658
00:27:44,683 --> 00:27:46,010
And what did she tell you?
659
00:27:46,012 --> 00:27:47,668
That she was in New York City.
660
00:27:47,670 --> 00:27:50,153
That she couldn't possibly
have killed her husband.

662
00:27:52,024 --> 00:27:54,524
Well, then, that was that.

GATES: Well, not really.
664
00:27:56,328 --> 00:27:58,278
Because when we followed up on her alibi,
665
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,064
we discovered that she wasn't
in New York City at all.
666
00:28:01,066 --> 00:28:03,333
That she was right here
in Greenwich the whole time,
667
00:28:03,335 --> 00:28:05,836
and was perfectly capable
of committing the murder.
668
00:28:05,838 --> 00:28:07,626
So she lied.
669
00:28:07,628 --> 00:28:08,805

The good news is
all the jurors are already read,

Thanks, Marissa. You're always

asked you where you were
676
00:28:23,956 --> 00:28:25,455
at the time of your father's death,
677
00:28:25,457 --> 00:28:27,024
you answered? In New York.
678
00:28:27,689 --> 00:28:30,160
I'm gonna need a more specific
answer than that.
679
00:28:30,162 --> 00:28:31,228
Where in New York?
680
00:28:31,230 --> 00:28:33,163
I told them that I was at Del Posto.
681
00:28:33,165 --> 00:28:34,631
It's a restaurant. It's on Tenth Avenue.
682
00:28:34,633 --> 00:28:36,700
And did they ask you who you were with?
683
00:28:36,702 --> 00:28:38,992
Yes, and I said my mother.
684
00:28:39,438 --> 00:28:41,316
And were you with your mother?
685
00:28:41,318 --> 00:28:43,106
No. That was a lie.
686
00:28:43,108 --> 00:28:44,533
And I'm sorry, but I thought...
687
00:28:44,535 --> 00:28:46,625
No. No, no, no, no.

Only answer the questions that are asked.

That's their job, okay?
693

And were you with your mother?
694
00:28:58,457 --> 00:29:00,389
No, that was a lie.
695
00:29:01,026 --> 00:29:02,259
Exactly.

Now, did someone tell you to lie?

Did your mother tell you to lie?
698
00:29:07,099 --> 00:29:08,699
No, it was my idea.
699
00:29:08,701 --> 00:29:11,234
I had just lost my father,
and the thought of my mother

Yeah, I do.

00:29:23,282 --> 00:29:26,083

00:29:30,889 --> 00:29:32,923
You're very protective of your mother.
710
00:29:32,925 --> 00:29:35,158
She's on trial for murder.
711
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,594
No, I-I get that, but it strikes me
712
00:29:37,596 --> 00:29:39,796
as something that you've grown
comfortable with,
713
00:29:39,798 --> 00:29:42,766
something that you've been doing
for a long time.
714
00:29:43,932 --> 00:29:45,046
Ever since I can remember,
715
00:29:45,048 --> 00:29:46,670
my mother's been one of those people
716
00:29:46,672 --> 00:29:51,441
that everyone thinks they know,
even if they've never met her.
717
00:29:51,443 --> 00:29:54,411
They just instantly dislike her.
718
00:29:55,980 --> 00:29:59,031
You can't help but feel
protective of someone like that.
719
00:30:00,449 --> 00:30:03,487
People are just against her,
for no reason.
720
00:30:04,036 --> 00:30:06,123
You ever been on
the receiving end of that?
721
00:30:06,955 --> 00:30:09,791
Actually, I'm going through
something like that right now.
722
00:30:10,295 --> 00:30:13,296
This law professor of mine, I mean...
723
00:30:13,298 --> 00:30:15,532
he-he's just got it in for me.
724
00:30:15,534 --> 00:30:17,094
Every paper, every test.
725
00:30:17,096 --> 00:30:19,703
Yeah, but, I mean, at least
you can confront him.
726
00:30:19,705 --> 00:30:21,405
You can ask him why.
727
00:30:24,009 --> 00:30:25,349
You're right.
728
00:30:25,863 --> 00:30:28,697
I can. I should.
729
00:30:30,416 --> 00:30:32,063
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
730
00:30:32,065 --> 00:30:34,691
And I think it's great that
you're your mother's protector.
731
00:30:37,069 --> 00:30:38,862
JEREMY (RECORDED):
Becky, honey, I'm sorry.
732
00:30:39,330 --> 00:30:40,830
I know you're mad.
733
00:30:40,855 --> 00:30:42,324
I know you hate me.
734
00:30:42,861 --> 00:30:44,910
But you have to believe I love you.
735
00:30:45,430 --> 00:30:47,329
And you have to believe
I'm trying to make this...
736
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,066
Becky, honey, I'm sorry.
737
00:30:50,068 --> 00:30:51,501
I know you're mad.
738
00:30:51,503 --> 00:30:53,703
- I know you hate me.
- (KNOCK ON DOOR)
739
00:30:53,705 --> 00:30:55,439
Can I show you something?
740
00:30:56,608 --> 00:30:58,708
I was able to get into
that website you got me.
741
00:30:58,710 --> 00:31:00,543
Turns out Jeremy had an account there.
742
00:31:00,545 --> 00:31:02,178
I think you should see this.
743
00:31:03,915 --> 00:31:06,616
Thank you for meeting me
before we go to court.
744
00:31:06,618 --> 00:31:08,577
Well, what's your big news?
745
00:31:08,579 --> 00:31:10,367
Did you find the person who did this?
746
00:31:10,369 --> 00:31:12,589
Because, let's be honest,
747
00:31:12,591 --> 00:31:17,360
short of that, I am not sensing
that we are going to prevail.
748
00:31:18,797 --> 00:31:20,904
Well... (CHUCKLES)
749
00:31:21,199 --> 00:31:23,933
Actually, the folks who work
for me found a lot of things.
750
00:31:24,855 --> 00:31:25,802
For one,
751
00:31:25,804 --> 00:31:28,905
the website where your husband
did most of his gambling...
752
00:31:28,907 --> 00:31:31,608
turns out they traffic
in a variety of vices,
753
00:31:31,610 --> 00:31:35,211
all sorts of illicit
and illegal activities.
754
00:31:35,585 --> 00:31:37,314
I'm not following you.
755
00:31:38,422 --> 00:31:41,842
(SIGHS) He didn't gamble away
your daughter's tuition money.
756
00:31:42,754 --> 00:31:44,554
He bought something with it.
757
00:31:45,679 --> 00:31:47,223
What?
758
00:31:48,223 --> 00:31:51,628
A future for you and your daughter.
759
00:31:51,630 --> 00:31:53,296
At least that was the plan.
760
00:31:54,813 --> 00:31:58,001
I do not understand
a word you are saying.
761
00:31:58,003 --> 00:31:59,985
Well, then... (SIGHS)
762
00:32:00,739 --> 00:32:02,605
let's begin at the beginning.
763
00:32:02,607 --> 00:32:06,376
First and foremost, the police
and the prosecutor got it right.
764
00:32:06,378 --> 00:32:08,244
The crime scene was staged.
765
00:32:08,577 --> 00:32:09,946
By whom?
766
00:32:09,948 --> 00:32:11,915
The one person who was determined
767
00:32:11,917 --> 00:32:14,718
to see your husband's life end.
768
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,252
Your husband.
769
00:32:16,254 --> 00:32:17,878
(SCOFFS)
770
00:32:18,357 --> 00:32:20,505
What are you trying to tell us?
771
00:32:21,423 --> 00:32:25,462
I'm trying to tell you
your husband committed suicide.
772
00:32:25,464 --> 00:32:26,845
(SCOFFS)
773
00:32:27,132 --> 00:32:29,599
Jason, that's impossible.
774
00:32:29,601 --> 00:32:31,634
The coroner would've
been able to determine
775
00:32:31,636 --> 00:32:33,570
if it was a self-inflicted wound.
776
00:32:33,572 --> 00:32:36,673
I mean, clearly, the bullet
came from a greater distance.
777
00:32:36,675 --> 00:32:38,908
Clearly, it came from someone else's gun.
778
00:32:38,910 --> 00:32:40,108
It did.
779
00:32:40,946 --> 00:32:43,646
That's why the scene seemed staged.
780
00:32:43,648 --> 00:32:47,183
The person who shot your husband
wasn't a robber.
781
00:32:47,185 --> 00:32:50,153
It was a professional hit man,
bought and paid for
782
00:32:50,155 --> 00:32:52,322
by his intended victim.
783
00:32:55,582 --> 00:32:56,926
Why?
784
00:32:56,928 --> 00:32:59,863
I'm guessing he realized
the perilous financial situation
785
00:32:59,865 --> 00:33:01,965
he'd put you and your daughter in.
786
00:33:01,967 --> 00:33:03,900
And the only real asset you had
787
00:33:03,902 --> 00:33:06,302
was the $25 million insurance policy.
788
00:33:06,304 --> 00:33:09,638
Which we could not collect on
if he died by his own hand.
789
00:33:10,389 --> 00:33:13,642
So he hired someone to do it for him.
790
00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:15,477
Exactly.
791
00:33:16,114 --> 00:33:19,749
And, of course...
they had to make it look like
792
00:33:19,751 --> 00:33:21,851
something other than what it was.
793
00:33:24,694 --> 00:33:27,357
Last night, I kept listening
to the voice mail
794
00:33:27,359 --> 00:33:29,658
Jeremy left you the night he died.
795
00:33:31,129 --> 00:33:34,079
Prosecutor keeps trying
to sell it to the jury
796
00:33:35,038 --> 00:33:37,000
like it's a plea for mercy,
797
00:33:37,002 --> 00:33:39,536
suggesting he knows
you're gonna kill him.
798
00:33:41,406 --> 00:33:43,171
That's not what I hear.
799
00:33:45,444 --> 00:33:47,544
He's asking for your forgiveness.
800
00:33:48,385 --> 00:33:49,845
For what he did.
801
00:33:50,182 --> 00:33:52,222
For what he's about to do.
802

(WHIMPERS SOFTLY)
803
00:33:56,143 --> 00:33:57,787
It's a suicide note.

(SOBS)
805
00:34:02,357 --> 00:34:03,726
I know it's gonna be difficult,
806
00:34:03,728 --> 00:34:06,296
but we have to find a way
to get this out in court,
807
00:34:06,298 --> 00:34:08,264
and I may need you to take the stand.
808
00:34:08,266 --> 00:34:10,782
I think it's the only way
we can clear your name.

(SNIFFLES)
810
00:34:18,206 --> 00:34:19,416
No.
811
00:34:24,379 --> 00:34:26,015
We are not sharing this with anyone.
812
00:34:27,340 --> 00:34:28,184
BEDFORD: What?
813
00:34:28,186 --> 00:34:31,011
That-that makes no sense, Rebecca.
814
00:34:31,636 --> 00:34:33,256
This conversation is protected
815
00:34:33,258 --> 00:34:35,158
by attorney-client privilege, right?
816
00:34:35,724 --> 00:34:36,826
Of course.
817
00:34:36,828 --> 00:34:40,897
And if I tell you you can't use
something, you can't, right?
818
00:34:40,899 --> 00:34:42,599
Rebecca, we're trying to save your life.
819
00:34:42,601 --> 00:34:44,834
We're trying to keep you out of prison.
820
00:34:44,836 --> 00:34:47,110
The insurance policy.
821
00:34:48,153 --> 00:34:50,440
Olivia is the secondary beneficiary.
822
00:34:50,442 --> 00:34:53,992
And if they find out that
this is essentially a suicide...
823
00:34:55,247 --> 00:34:58,038
they will never pay the claim, and she...
824
00:34:58,717 --> 00:35:02,018
If I go to prison,
my daughter will get the money,
825
00:35:02,020 --> 00:35:04,053
and my daughter will have a future.
826
00:35:04,055 --> 00:35:06,338
And she deserves a future.
827
00:35:10,175 --> 00:35:12,729
So the truth stays here.
828
00:35:14,638 --> 00:35:16,097

- (KNOCK ON DOOR)
- Professor Jameson?
830
00:35:28,710 --> 00:35:31,010
I'm in your Intro to Legal Theory class.
831
00:35:31,012 --> 00:35:32,578
Do you have a minute?
832
00:35:32,580 --> 00:35:34,847
I see students only by appointment.
833
00:35:34,849 --> 00:35:36,516
I completely understand.
834
00:35:36,518 --> 00:35:39,652
But I work during the day,
and scheduling an appointment
835
00:35:39,654 --> 00:35:41,654
during your office hours is difficult.
836
00:35:41,957 --> 00:35:43,089
As it happens, my firm
837
00:35:43,091 --> 00:35:45,491
is in court today, so
I was able to sneak away.

00:35:45,493 --> 00:35:46,726
You work for a law firm?

Trial science company.
840
00:35:48,229 --> 00:35:50,229
Oh, you're him.
841
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,067
I wrote about it
in one of our first assignments.
842
00:35:54,386 --> 00:35:56,054
You gave me a "C."
843
00:35:56,604 --> 00:35:59,539
You give me a "C" on pretty much
everything I submit to you.
844
00:35:59,541 --> 00:36:01,741
That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.
845
00:36:02,944 --> 00:36:05,882
- Okay. Plead your case.
- Excuse me?
846
00:36:05,884 --> 00:36:08,948
Why do you think you're entitled
to more than a "C"?
847
00:36:09,401 --> 00:36:11,784
Because I see you
handing out "A"s and "B"s
848
00:36:11,786 --> 00:36:14,087
to almost everyone else
in the class, and...
849
00:36:14,089 --> 00:36:16,789
well, I... frankly, I have more
experience than any of them.
850
00:36:16,791 --> 00:36:19,525
At a trial science company?
851
00:36:20,537 --> 00:36:21,861
Well, why do you say it like that?
852
00:36:21,863 --> 00:36:24,697
Mr. Palmer, the system of jurisprudence
853
00:36:24,699 --> 00:36:26,733
has existed for centuries,
854
00:36:26,735 --> 00:36:28,701
functioning quite well
with just attorneys
855
00:36:28,703 --> 00:36:32,972
and, uh, and judges
and occasionally juries,
856
00:36:33,258 --> 00:36:35,424
never once requiring the services
857
00:36:35,426 --> 00:36:37,977
of trial scientists,
who, near as I can tell,
858
00:36:37,979 --> 00:36:40,880
just, uh, suddenly appeared
in the last 25 years.
859
00:36:41,224 --> 00:36:42,648
And who are they?
860
00:36:42,650 --> 00:36:45,885
They don't need degrees,
just a fancy business card,
861
00:36:45,887 --> 00:36:49,211
the ability to generate billable hours,
862
00:36:49,213 --> 00:36:50,556
uh, the gift of gab.
863
00:36:50,558 --> 00:36:54,026
Whenever a client prevails,
they take the credit.
864
00:36:54,028 --> 00:36:57,764
Whenever a client loses,
it's the attorney's fault.
865
00:36:59,601 --> 00:37:01,801
I think they're charlatans.
866
00:37:01,803 --> 00:37:05,875
And I think people who
work for them are charlatans.
867
00:37:05,957 --> 00:37:07,039
You don't even know me.
868
00:37:07,041 --> 00:37:10,409
I don't need to know you.
I know what you do.
869
00:37:10,411 --> 00:37:12,478
And I don't think that's fair.
870
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,680
I came here to study the law.
871
00:37:14,682 --> 00:37:16,315
Shouldn't matter what job I have.
872
00:37:16,317 --> 00:37:19,218
If you don't like me
or you don't like my class,
873
00:37:19,220 --> 00:37:20,787
then drop out.
874
00:37:22,140 --> 00:37:23,289
I don't want to drop out.
875
00:37:23,291 --> 00:37:25,810
Then make your peace with those "C" s.
876
00:37:26,628 --> 00:37:28,327
Our appointment's over.
877
00:37:34,235 --> 00:37:37,436
Hey. I'm sorry that it took me
so long to get here,
878
00:37:37,438 --> 00:37:39,672
but... I know you said
it was an emergency...
879
00:37:39,674 --> 00:37:41,107
it's an hour on the train.
880
00:37:41,743 --> 00:37:43,276
I need your help.
881
00:37:43,278 --> 00:37:46,879
I have proof of your
mother's innocence, proof...
882
00:37:46,881 --> 00:37:48,915
she won't let me use
in court, and I suspect
883
00:37:48,917 --> 00:37:51,517
you may be the only one who
can convince her otherwise.
884
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:52,819
Yeah.
885
00:37:53,296 --> 00:37:54,854
Yeah, of course, let me at her.
886
00:37:56,216 --> 00:37:59,458
Thing is, it's gonna
cost you $25 million.
887

Your Honor, we would like to call
888
00:38:02,730 --> 00:38:05,100

REBECCA: We met in college.
892
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,752
Fell in love. I was the poor girl
893
00:38:16,754 --> 00:38:18,287
from the other side of the tracks,
894
00:38:18,289 --> 00:38:20,456
and he was the rich boy
who deserved better.
895
00:38:20,458 --> 00:38:22,033
But we didn't care.
896
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,953
We knew we were meant to be.
897
00:38:27,098 --> 00:38:29,398
His family held their noses
through our wedding,
898
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,167
and he loved that.
899
00:38:31,501 --> 00:38:33,056
I loved him,
900
00:38:33,058 --> 00:38:36,172
but he had a dark side.
901
00:38:36,908 --> 00:38:41,410
If something was... forbidden,
he was very attracted to it.
902
00:38:41,412 --> 00:38:44,597
I think I was part of that...
till I wasn't.
903
00:38:45,016 --> 00:38:47,950
And when I wasn't, it became gambling.
904
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,052
He was addicted.
905
00:38:50,854 --> 00:38:52,588
He loved the risk,
906
00:38:52,590 --> 00:38:54,590
and there were times that I was convinced
907
00:38:54,592 --> 00:38:58,427
that he found the losing
more thrilling than the winning.
908
00:38:58,429 --> 00:39:02,571
Did Jeremy ever tell you
how he felt about his addiction?
909
00:39:02,573 --> 00:39:03,600
Of course.
910
00:39:03,602 --> 00:39:07,454
He... more than anything, felt guilty.
911
00:39:08,121 --> 00:39:10,773
For everything he put us
through, especially Olivia.

BEDFORD: Mrs. Lexington,
915
00:39:17,014 --> 00:39:19,698
six months before your husband's death,
916
00:39:19,698 --> 00:39:22,566
were you aware that
he took out an insurance policy
917
00:39:22,568 --> 00:39:24,804
of $25 million,
918
00:39:25,170 --> 00:39:28,138
naming you as the primary beneficiary?
919
00:39:29,074 --> 00:39:30,774
He mentioned the policy,
but I had no idea
920
00:39:30,776 --> 00:39:33,043
it was for that much
until after his death.
921
00:39:33,045 --> 00:39:36,179
Did you know that,
in the event of suicide,
922
00:39:36,566 --> 00:39:39,149
this policy would be null and void?
923
00:39:39,527 --> 00:39:42,686
I never saw the policy.
I have no idea what it said.
924
00:39:42,688 --> 00:39:44,321
Don't touch that dial.
925
00:39:44,323 --> 00:39:45,989
Here comes the good part.
926
00:39:45,991 --> 00:39:48,325
Do you know a Donald Graham?
927
00:39:48,327 --> 00:39:50,293
- No, I don't.
- Were you aware
928
00:39:50,295 --> 00:39:52,963
that your husband transferred $20,000,
929
00:39:52,965 --> 00:39:56,099
two days before he died, to Mr. Graham?
930
00:39:56,101 --> 00:39:57,400
No.
931
00:39:57,402 --> 00:40:00,504
So you had no idea what
this payment was actually for?
932
00:40:00,506 --> 00:40:01,838
None at all.
933
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,206
Is this the good part?
934
00:40:03,208 --> 00:40:04,374
Patience.
935
00:40:04,376 --> 00:40:06,376
Did you know that Mr. Graham
936
00:40:06,378 --> 00:40:07,744
is a contract killer?
937
00:40:07,746 --> 00:40:09,212
- A hit man?

No foundation.

942
00:40:14,153 --> 00:40:15,752
Actually, there is.

leading from Mr. Lexington
946
00:40:21,593 --> 00:40:23,760
to Mr. Graham, purchasing his services.

BEDFORD: Mrs. Lexington,
955
00:40:42,382 --> 00:40:46,149
is it possible
that your husband felt so guilty
956
00:40:46,151 --> 00:40:49,019
for the position that he had
put you and your daughter in
957
00:40:49,021 --> 00:40:51,621
that he would have
orchestrated his own murder?
958
00:40:51,623 --> 00:40:53,857
Objection. Calls for speculation.
959
00:40:53,859 --> 00:40:55,008
Sustained.
960
00:40:55,010 --> 00:40:56,855
Let me rephrase that.
961
00:40:58,064 --> 00:40:59,996
Your husband knew
that you and your daughter
962
00:40:59,998 --> 00:41:01,892
were in desperate need of money.
963
00:41:01,894 --> 00:41:03,576
We talked about that all the time.
964
00:41:03,578 --> 00:41:04,868
Objection. Hearsay.

It's not hearsay.
968
00:41:09,074 --> 00:41:10,140
Overruled.
969
00:41:10,702 --> 00:41:12,242
Mrs. Lexington,
970
00:41:12,244 --> 00:41:13,843
can you think of any other reason
971
00:41:13,845 --> 00:41:16,146
that your husband
would go onto the dark web
972
00:41:16,148 --> 00:41:18,515
- and hire a professional killer?
- No.
973
00:41:18,517 --> 00:41:20,642
Your Honor, that is pure speculation.
974
00:41:20,644 --> 00:41:22,586
Jury will disregard.
975
00:41:22,588 --> 00:41:23,587
No, they won't.
976
00:41:23,589 --> 00:41:25,055
BEDFORD: Just one more
question, Your Honor.
977
00:41:25,057 --> 00:41:29,359
Mrs. Lexington, you do understand
978
00:41:29,804 --> 00:41:31,695
that your testimony here today
979
00:41:31,697 --> 00:41:35,332
will almost certainly result
in the insurance company
980
00:41:35,334 --> 00:41:38,568
declaring your husband's death a suicide,
981
00:41:38,570 --> 00:41:41,104
and thereby allowing them
982
00:41:41,106 --> 00:41:44,107
to opt out of any payment
to you or your daughter?
983
00:41:44,109 --> 00:41:46,112
Yes, I do.
984
00:41:47,145 --> 00:41:48,912

Give her a couple hours of your time.

And let's both convince
your client to do the same.
