1
00:00:02,469 --> 00:00:04,233
NARRATOR: In the
criminal justice system
2
00:00:04,304 --> 00:00:08,207
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:08,275 --> 00:00:10,107
the police who investigate crime
4
00:00:10,177 --> 00:00:12,942
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:14,504
These are their stories.
6
00:00:15,782 --> 00:00:18,513
Third time I've asked
you to fix it, Mr. Ramos.
7
00:00:18,585 --> 00:00:22,181
If I fall and break my hip, I
swear I'll get my son after you.
8
00:00:22,256 --> 00:00:23,849
He knows people.
9
00:00:24,725 --> 00:00:26,387
Oye, mami, you're late today.
10
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:28,258
Your watch is
always fast, George.
11
00:00:28,328 --> 00:00:31,264
That's right. Like that,
my days go quicker.
12
00:00:31,331 --> 00:00:33,493
Maybe when you're done
cleaning, we could party.
13
00:00:33,567 --> 00:00:35,092
I don't party with married men.
14
00:00:35,168 --> 00:00:36,761
Oh, didn't I tell you?
15
00:00:36,837 --> 00:00:40,968
My wife,
pobrecita, she had
a heart attack this weekend.
16
00:00:42,476 --> 00:00:44,172
(CHUCKLING)
17
00:00:45,212 --> 00:00:48,649
Mr. Wells, it's me, Rosetta.
18
00:00:57,057 --> 00:00:58,457
Mr. Wells?
19
00:01:02,095 --> 00:01:03,961
(EXCLAIMING IN SPANISH)
20
00:01:04,398 --> 00:01:05,661
(SOBBING)
21
00:01:06,833 --> 00:01:10,429
OFFICER: Elliot Wells,
35. Hat trick in the chest.
22
00:01:10,504 --> 00:01:12,769
Front door was still locked
and the windows were closed.
23
00:01:12,839 --> 00:01:14,398
The lucky person who found him?
24
00:01:14,474 --> 00:01:16,443
Cleaning lady, Rosetta Salva.
25
00:01:16,510 --> 00:01:18,809
She comes every Monday.
She's got her own key.
26
00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:19,938
You got the time of death?
27
00:01:20,013 --> 00:01:21,538
36 to 48 hours.
28
00:01:21,615 --> 00:01:23,811
Say some time Saturday
afternoon or evening.
29
00:01:23,884 --> 00:01:27,446
Mrs. Small next door said she
was home till 6:00 on Saturday.
30
00:01:27,521 --> 00:01:28,784
Didn't hear anything.
31
00:01:28,855 --> 00:01:30,517
And then she went
to her son's for dinner.
32
00:01:30,591 --> 00:01:33,493
So between 6:00 and
9:00. Hey, did you call CSU?
33
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,927
Yeah, they're hung up on
a bodega heist downtown,
34
00:01:35,996 --> 00:01:37,036
will be a couple of hours.
35
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:39,896
Listen, I found a couple of
dresses in the bedroom closet.
36
00:01:39,967 --> 00:01:42,630
Ms. Salva, I'm Detective Curtis.
37
00:01:42,703 --> 00:01:44,467
Did Mr. Wells have a girlfriend?
38
00:01:45,272 --> 00:01:46,865
I don't know.
39
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:49,409
Her name's Liza, Detectives.
40
00:01:49,476 --> 00:01:50,808
I live next door.
41
00:01:50,877 --> 00:01:54,211
I told the officer that I was having
dinner with my son Saturday night.
42
00:01:54,281 --> 00:01:57,740
We have never had a
murder in this building before.
43
00:01:57,818 --> 00:02:00,219
Did you happen to
catch Liza's last name?
44
00:02:00,287 --> 00:02:03,621
No. She was a brunette,
somewhat attractive.
45
00:02:03,690 --> 00:02:05,716
He was a lawyer. I think
he could have done better.
46
00:02:05,792 --> 00:02:08,318
Maybe he thought so, too.
How were they getting along?
47
00:02:08,395 --> 00:02:11,058
Good, I suppose. He
must be some lover.
48
00:02:11,131 --> 00:02:14,158
I mean, he was always
getting flowers delivered.
49
00:02:14,234 --> 00:02:15,678
Did you see her around
here this weekend?
50
00:02:15,702 --> 00:02:16,702
No.
51
00:02:16,770 --> 00:02:18,170
Did he have any other guests?
52
00:02:18,238 --> 00:02:19,706
Not that I was counting.
53
00:02:19,773 --> 00:02:22,868
I'll tell you one thing about
Mr. Wells. He was being watched.
54
00:02:22,943 --> 00:02:24,468
Watched? By who?
55
00:02:24,544 --> 00:02:30,450
There was a man in a car across the
street. I could see him from my window.
56
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:34,780
He was following Mr. Wells
when he took a taxi in the morning.
57
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:40,224
I'm not making this up.
It went on for a month.
58
00:02:40,293 --> 00:02:42,922
I called the police and
then the car disappeared.
59
00:02:42,996 --> 00:02:45,329
Yeah, well, maybe if we had
the license plate number...
60
00:02:45,399 --> 00:02:49,427
I got the license plate. I
wrote it down. I'll get it for you.
61
00:02:50,971 --> 00:02:52,769
Wow. If she hadn't
been away at dinner,
62
00:02:52,839 --> 00:02:55,434
she'd probably come
back with the guy who did it.
63
00:03:43,724 --> 00:03:46,626
Ballistics has three .22
slugs fired at close range.
64
00:03:46,693 --> 00:03:48,719
The burn patterns on the
wounds were very tight.
65
00:03:48,795 --> 00:03:53,495
No forced entry, no struggle. Could
be friendly fire. He had a girlfriend?
66
00:03:53,567 --> 00:03:56,093
Liza, no last name, and
she's not in his little black book.
67
00:03:56,169 --> 00:03:57,660
You ask his next of kin?
68
00:03:57,738 --> 00:03:58,933
They're in Minneapolis.
69
00:03:59,005 --> 00:04:00,906
And there's nothing on
his answering machine.
70
00:04:00,974 --> 00:04:02,408
Latent's working
on a dozen prints,
71
00:04:02,476 --> 00:04:04,320
all belonging to people
who've never been printed.
72
00:04:04,344 --> 00:04:05,710
What about the
neighborhood watch?
73
00:04:05,779 --> 00:04:08,214
Could've been shots,
could've been the TV.
74
00:04:08,281 --> 00:04:10,978
License plate belongs
to Wraytec Security.
75
00:04:11,051 --> 00:04:14,419
They said they were hired by
Wells' law firm to watch over him.
76
00:04:14,488 --> 00:04:16,923
I hope they didn't put
him down as a reference.
77
00:04:19,893 --> 00:04:22,886
HANNA: Elliot was a lateral
hire from a firm in Chicago.
78
00:04:22,963 --> 00:04:25,660
He'd been with
us less than a year.
79
00:04:25,732 --> 00:04:27,098
I can't believe he's dead.
80
00:04:27,167 --> 00:04:28,811
Well, it's not like it's
a bolt out of the blue.
81
00:04:28,835 --> 00:04:30,861
You hired bodyguards
for him, right?
82
00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:34,567
Oh, yes. Well, that was during the
Shuster Consolidated paper case.
83
00:04:34,641 --> 00:04:36,735
Some environmentalists
sued to keep Shuster
84
00:04:36,810 --> 00:04:39,507
from harvesting some
old-growth forests.
85
00:04:39,579 --> 00:04:42,674
A bunch of bird-watchers file a
lawsuit and you call out the Marines?
86
00:04:42,749 --> 00:04:44,980
A case like this attracts
the fringe element.
87
00:04:45,051 --> 00:04:47,520
People who spike trees
to injure woodcutters.
88
00:04:47,587 --> 00:04:50,113
Elliot was the lead
counsel for Shuster.
89
00:04:50,190 --> 00:04:52,352
He got the limelight and
the threats that go with it.
90
00:04:52,425 --> 00:04:53,654
Death threats?
91
00:04:53,727 --> 00:04:55,889
Not in so many words, but yes.
92
00:04:55,962 --> 00:04:58,932
They even picketed our offices.
They threw fake blood at Elliot.
93
00:04:58,999 --> 00:05:01,730
We had to call the police.
Some arrests were made.
94
00:05:01,802 --> 00:05:05,466
The security company told us you
pulled the plug on them a few weeks ago.
95
00:05:05,539 --> 00:05:09,067
Well, yes, but that was after
the judge threw out the lawsuit.
96
00:05:09,142 --> 00:05:12,635
It was Elliot's idea. He was
hoping things would cool down.
97
00:05:12,712 --> 00:05:13,839
CURTIS: Did they?
98
00:05:13,914 --> 00:05:15,109
Not for Elliot.
99
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:18,685
We started getting complaints
from some of his clients.
100
00:05:18,752 --> 00:05:21,221
He was making mistakes,
not returning phone calls.
101
00:05:21,288 --> 00:05:22,517
What was going on with him?
102
00:05:22,589 --> 00:05:25,081
HANNA: Battle
fatigue. Who knows?
103
00:05:25,158 --> 00:05:29,220
He said he wanted time away
from the law. Friday was his last day.
104
00:05:30,197 --> 00:05:34,225
We're all going to miss him
terribly around here. Excuse me.
105
00:05:38,138 --> 00:05:41,734
I read where sharks have
feelings. Now I know better.
106
00:05:43,977 --> 00:05:47,880
I got clicked for calling a
lawyer a seven-letter word.
107
00:05:47,948 --> 00:05:50,850
If I would've used 10,
I'd probably still be in jail.
108
00:05:50,917 --> 00:05:53,477
Hey, you also threw
blood on his Armani.
109
00:05:53,553 --> 00:05:57,046
Oh, no. Oh, not me, no. I was
just there making a bunch of noise.
110
00:05:57,123 --> 00:06:01,754
Now, the rough stuff, that's Larry
Philbert, long as there's a TV crew around.
111
00:06:01,828 --> 00:06:03,694
How rough does
Larry get off camera?
112
00:06:03,763 --> 00:06:06,255
I don't know. He only
calls me for the protest.
113
00:06:06,333 --> 00:06:09,895
He pays me for my car fare.
See, it's because of the chair.
114
00:06:09,970 --> 00:06:14,408
See, Larry says that it looks good
on TV to have a guy in a wheelchair.
115
00:06:15,475 --> 00:06:19,139
It isn't about hugging trees, Detectives,
it's about enlightened self-interest.
116
00:06:19,212 --> 00:06:21,681
You know how many species
become extinct every hour?
117
00:06:21,748 --> 00:06:23,683
After they're all
gone, we're next.
118
00:06:23,750 --> 00:06:26,720
What about dead lawyers?
How do they affect the biosphere?
119
00:06:26,786 --> 00:06:28,618
You mean Elliot Wells?
120
00:06:28,688 --> 00:06:30,423
Thanks to him, Shuster's turning
121
00:06:30,447 --> 00:06:32,921
thousand-year-old
trees into popsicle sticks.
122
00:06:32,993 --> 00:06:34,036
That's what got him killed?
123
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:35,084
I wouldn't know.
124
00:06:35,161 --> 00:06:39,155
But, whatever the reason, it was
mother nature balancing the scales.
125
00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:41,326
Maybe that's what you
thought you were doing.
126
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:42,767
So now I killed Wells?
127
00:06:42,836 --> 00:06:46,295
Hey, you got arrested last year on
the way to a protest at Sterling Forest,
128
00:06:46,373 --> 00:06:47,966
they found a .22 in your car.
129
00:06:48,041 --> 00:06:50,340
Yeah, and now the Rockland
County Police have it.
130
00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:51,469
And as for Saturday,
131
00:06:51,544 --> 00:06:55,174
I was chained to a fence outside
a toxic waste dump in Patterson.
132
00:06:55,248 --> 00:06:58,150
That was before I got
arrested for trespassing.
133
00:07:01,788 --> 00:07:03,848
First thing we did when
the law firm hired us,
134
00:07:03,924 --> 00:07:05,620
was get photos of
these demonstrators,
135
00:07:05,692 --> 00:07:09,026
but we never saw any of
them near the residence.
136
00:07:09,095 --> 00:07:11,564
How about anybody who
didn't get their picture taken?
137
00:07:11,631 --> 00:07:13,327
If anyone was
staking out the place,
138
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,892
they'd have to be very
good to escape detection.
139
00:07:15,969 --> 00:07:17,733
What, you were
sitting on Wells 24/7?
140
00:07:17,804 --> 00:07:19,033
Round the clock.
141
00:07:19,105 --> 00:07:21,450
And as far as you noticed, he
never had any trouble with anyone?
142
00:07:21,474 --> 00:07:23,705
Well, the girlfriend
was a handful.
143
00:07:23,777 --> 00:07:25,541
CURTIS: Brunette? Yeah.
144
00:07:25,612 --> 00:07:27,490
Couple of days before we
got pulled off surveillance,
145
00:07:27,514 --> 00:07:29,642
they had a big blow-out
in front of the building.
146
00:07:29,716 --> 00:07:31,742
CURTIS: Do you have any
idea where we can find her?
147
00:07:31,818 --> 00:07:32,995
Yeah, he picked her up one night
148
00:07:33,019 --> 00:07:36,183
from a building in Clinton,
we noted the address.
149
00:07:37,424 --> 00:07:38,448
(CLATTERING)
150
00:07:38,525 --> 00:07:41,188
Watch your step there,
Lennie, that tile's coming loose.
151
00:07:41,261 --> 00:07:43,321
You'd think a girl smart
enough to go with a lawyer
152
00:07:43,396 --> 00:07:45,490
would live in a building
with a working elevator.
153
00:07:45,565 --> 00:07:46,658
Which one first?
154
00:07:46,733 --> 00:07:50,329
Well, last floor we started with
the left side. Let's try the right side.
155
00:07:59,045 --> 00:08:02,140
I'm Detective Curtis,
this is Detective Briscoe.
156
00:08:02,716 --> 00:08:05,709
We're looking for a young woman
named Liza. She's a brunette.
157
00:08:05,785 --> 00:08:08,482
Liza? Why? What's it about?
158
00:08:08,555 --> 00:08:11,218
We'd rather discuss that with
her. What's your name, sir?
159
00:08:11,291 --> 00:08:13,522
Tony. Tony Conneca.
160
00:08:15,228 --> 00:08:17,493
It's Elliot Wells, isn't it?
161
00:08:17,564 --> 00:08:19,465
You mind if we come
in, Mr. Conneca?
162
00:08:22,936 --> 00:08:25,064
I read about it in
The Post.
163
00:08:27,407 --> 00:08:29,418
I want you to know I had
absolutely nothing to do with it.
164
00:08:29,442 --> 00:08:33,470
Well, that's good to know. So,
what's your relationship with Liza?
165
00:08:33,546 --> 00:08:39,577
I'm Liza. As in Minnelli.
See the resemblance?
166
00:08:39,652 --> 00:08:41,143
You're a drag queen.
167
00:08:41,221 --> 00:08:42,712
A female impersonator.
168
00:08:43,390 --> 00:08:45,552
I dress up for work just
like you do, Detective.
169
00:08:45,625 --> 00:08:51,087
Yeah, only I don't have to tuck in
so much. So, you and Elliot Wells?
170
00:08:52,665 --> 00:08:56,466
He was my boyfriend, up
until a couple of weeks ago.
171
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:57,868
What happened?
172
00:08:57,937 --> 00:09:00,168
I didn't enjoy life
in Elliot's closet.
173
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,538
He was too low-key for you?
174
00:09:01,608 --> 00:09:04,442
I'm gay. I don't
set off sprinklers.
175
00:09:05,912 --> 00:09:09,041
Elliot would never go out with
me in public. He never came here.
176
00:09:09,115 --> 00:09:12,244
When I went to his place, I had to
dress female to fool the neighbors.
177
00:09:12,318 --> 00:09:13,342
Even in bed, he would...
178
00:09:13,420 --> 00:09:15,480
Yeah, we get the idea.
179
00:09:15,855 --> 00:09:17,517
He was so uptight.
180
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:18,734
He wouldn't let me
answer his phone,
181
00:09:18,758 --> 00:09:20,803
he wouldn't give me his
number at work, it was a charade.
182
00:09:20,827 --> 00:09:23,296
When was the last
time you saw him?
183
00:09:23,363 --> 00:09:26,231
We haven't talked
since I broke up with him.
184
00:09:26,299 --> 00:09:28,530
Where were you Saturday night?
185
00:09:29,702 --> 00:09:32,866
I was working at Max's Cabaret.
186
00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:37,342
Tony was here Saturday
night. He went on around 9:30.
187
00:09:37,410 --> 00:09:39,436
What? Belting out
New York, New York?
188
00:09:39,512 --> 00:09:42,175
(CHUCKLES) No, we
already got two Lizas.
189
00:09:42,248 --> 00:09:46,276
Tony is working on a new act.
Audrey Hepburn's greatest hits.
190
00:09:46,352 --> 00:09:49,447
A little
Sabrina, a little
Breakfast at Tiffany's.
191
00:09:49,522 --> 00:09:51,548
It's a cute idea, if he
keeps the weight off.
192
00:09:51,624 --> 00:09:54,685
I can hardly wait to see it.
So what time did he get here?
193
00:09:54,761 --> 00:09:57,094
Just after 8:00,
to do his makeup.
194
00:09:57,163 --> 00:09:59,564
I talked to him in
his dressing room.
195
00:09:59,632 --> 00:10:01,157
How was his mood?
196
00:10:01,234 --> 00:10:02,234
Nervous.
197
00:10:02,302 --> 00:10:05,431
Tony is always nervous before
his set. He's a real heave queen.
198
00:10:05,505 --> 00:10:07,337
He ever talk about his
boyfriend, the lawyer?
199
00:10:07,407 --> 00:10:10,400
Talk about him? He bragged
about him every chance he got.
200
00:10:10,477 --> 00:10:11,877
His uptown sugar daddy.
201
00:10:11,945 --> 00:10:13,225
We heard things were going sour.
202
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:15,874
Because of Tony's
active imagination.
203
00:10:15,949 --> 00:10:18,043
He was sure the guy
was two-timing him.
204
00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:21,054
Once he gets jealous,
Tony could be a real bitch.
205
00:10:21,121 --> 00:10:22,384
How real?
206
00:10:23,923 --> 00:10:28,054
Last year, he found out his
squeeze
du jour was cheating on him.
207
00:10:28,128 --> 00:10:29,756
The guy wasn't out yet.
208
00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:34,130
So Tony puts on his Liza gear,
you know, bowler hat, garter belt
209
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,465
and shows up at the
guy's house in Scarsdale,
210
00:10:36,536 --> 00:10:38,835
just as the family's
sitting down to dinner.
211
00:10:38,905 --> 00:10:40,965
Sounds like a million laughs.
212
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,167
That's our Tony.
213
00:10:43,343 --> 00:10:45,835
It's a classic case
of "he said, he said."
214
00:10:45,912 --> 00:10:48,507
Tony cooks on a hot plate,
Wells has an expense account.
215
00:10:48,581 --> 00:10:49,605
Who's going to dump who?
216
00:10:49,682 --> 00:10:51,173
Everybody's got his pride.
217
00:10:51,251 --> 00:10:53,652
Yeah, especially a guy
who shaves his chest.
218
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,181
Here we go. Three calls from Tony's
place to Wells' the week before the murder.
219
00:10:58,258 --> 00:11:00,853
He told us he hadn't talked
to Wells since the break-up.
220
00:11:00,927 --> 00:11:02,623
To Wells, not the
answering machine.
221
00:11:02,695 --> 00:11:04,755
Each call's less
than a minute long.
222
00:11:04,831 --> 00:11:07,801
Lieutenant, Latent pulled
Tony's cabaret license.
223
00:11:07,867 --> 00:11:10,112
They matched his prints to what
they found in Wells' apartment.
224
00:11:10,136 --> 00:11:13,129
Thanks. Well, they were lovers.
225
00:11:13,206 --> 00:11:15,675
Tony said he hadn't been in
the apartment in two weeks.
226
00:11:15,742 --> 00:11:17,335
The cleaning lady
comes in once a week.
227
00:11:17,410 --> 00:11:19,572
VAN BUREN: And scrubs
every surface with a toothbrush?
228
00:11:19,646 --> 00:11:22,241
You got a fist full of
straw, not much else here.
229
00:11:22,315 --> 00:11:24,784
Well, maybe. But I
still like Tony for it.
230
00:11:24,851 --> 00:11:27,047
Would you like him as much
if he wore three-piece suits
231
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,180
and crunched
numbers for a living?
232
00:11:29,255 --> 00:11:30,917
Hey, what do you make of this?
233
00:11:30,990 --> 00:11:33,357
Saturday morning, Wells
made a 30-minute phone call
234
00:11:33,426 --> 00:11:36,055
to the law firm of
Markham and Kessler.
235
00:11:36,129 --> 00:11:37,757
So, he was applying for a job.
236
00:11:37,830 --> 00:11:41,096
But his old firm said that he
quit to take a break from the bar.
237
00:11:41,167 --> 00:11:44,501
Markham and Kessler specialize
in sexual harassment suits.
238
00:11:44,571 --> 00:11:46,062
You got them on retainer?
239
00:11:46,139 --> 00:11:49,507
No, PBA gave me their name
last year when I was being hassled.
240
00:11:49,576 --> 00:11:51,854
You got a beef with your boss,
these are the people to call.
241
00:11:51,878 --> 00:11:53,107
You had a beef with your boss?
242
00:11:53,179 --> 00:11:54,613
His lady boss.
243
00:11:56,849 --> 00:11:58,818
She was coming on to me. What?
244
00:11:58,885 --> 00:12:00,114
That's why I transferred here.
245
00:12:00,186 --> 00:12:02,121
So, can I transfer there?
246
00:12:07,093 --> 00:12:09,426
Actually, Elliot Wells called
me late Friday afternoon.
247
00:12:09,495 --> 00:12:13,023
I was on my way to a deposition, so I
told him I'd be in the office Saturday.
248
00:12:13,099 --> 00:12:15,728
We need to know
what you discussed.
249
00:12:15,802 --> 00:12:17,395
Mr. Wells was very guarded.
250
00:12:17,470 --> 00:12:19,215
He said he wanted to wait
until we met on Monday.
251
00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:23,574
But the gist of it was, he had a gay
client who was fired and wanted to sue.
252
00:12:23,643 --> 00:12:25,839
"Oh, Doctor, I have this
friend who's got an itch."
253
00:12:25,912 --> 00:12:27,107
Excuse me?
254
00:12:28,881 --> 00:12:31,783
Did Wells tell you that
he left his firm on Friday?
255
00:12:31,851 --> 00:12:33,683
No. I had no idea.
256
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:36,746
CURTIS: They told us he
resigned. Job-related stress.
257
00:12:37,690 --> 00:12:40,751
You think they're lying?
How long was he there?
258
00:12:41,861 --> 00:12:42,988
A year.
259
00:12:44,831 --> 00:12:46,595
And all of a sudden
they fired him?
260
00:12:46,666 --> 00:12:49,636
And all of a sudden they
found out he was gay.
261
00:12:49,702 --> 00:12:51,967
Gee, I wonder who told them.
262
00:12:54,741 --> 00:12:57,019
Of course I didn't out Elliot. I
didn't even know where he worked.
263
00:12:57,043 --> 00:13:00,639
He was on CNN, he was in all the
papers. Where were you? In a cave?
264
00:13:00,713 --> 00:13:05,310
I would never do anything like that
to Elliot, never. It's not in my nature.
265
00:13:05,652 --> 00:13:08,451
Showing up in a push-up
bra at one of his staff meetings,
266
00:13:08,521 --> 00:13:09,989
that's more your style, right?
267
00:13:10,056 --> 00:13:12,685
Yeah, we heard about that
stunt you pulled in Scarsdale.
268
00:13:12,759 --> 00:13:16,025
Okay, that was stupid. But I was
pissed. The guy used me for sex.
269
00:13:16,095 --> 00:13:18,724
And you used Wells
for a meal ticket.
270
00:13:18,798 --> 00:13:21,791
And you weren't too happy about it
when he started chasing a new scent.
271
00:13:21,868 --> 00:13:25,100
Elliot loved me. I'm
the one who broke it off.
272
00:13:25,171 --> 00:13:28,039
That's not the way they tell it
down at the cabaret, my friend.
273
00:13:28,107 --> 00:13:31,475
Hey, come on, Tony, the guy
hurt you. We've all been there.
274
00:13:31,544 --> 00:13:35,948
You just didn't want to tell us
because of the way it would look, right?
275
00:13:39,719 --> 00:13:42,120
He'd get calls at home. Late.
276
00:13:43,222 --> 00:13:45,214
Take his phone into his
room and close the door.
277
00:13:45,291 --> 00:13:47,692
He'd whisper,
so I couldn't hear.
278
00:13:48,795 --> 00:13:50,275
And then he'd come
out, all red-faced.
279
00:13:50,330 --> 00:13:52,822
He said it was his parents or
some other BS, but I knew better.
280
00:13:52,899 --> 00:13:55,232
So you never actually
saw him with this other guy?
281
00:13:55,301 --> 00:13:57,065
I didn't dream this up.
282
00:13:57,136 --> 00:14:00,595
There was somebody else. That's
the guy you should be looking for.
283
00:14:00,673 --> 00:14:04,633
All right, Tony, we're going to go
get some sodas, you want one?
284
00:14:09,949 --> 00:14:12,316
Just what he'd like, us
off on a wild goose chase
285
00:14:12,385 --> 00:14:13,819
after this mystery man.
286
00:14:13,886 --> 00:14:16,082
Maybe you're on a wild
goose chase right now.
287
00:14:16,155 --> 00:14:19,125
He outed Wells, Wells found out,
they got into it on Saturday night,
288
00:14:19,192 --> 00:14:20,285
Wells ended up dead.
289
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,384
Plays for me.
290
00:14:21,461 --> 00:14:24,021
Well, you prove he outed
Wells, it'll play for me.
291
00:14:24,097 --> 00:14:25,097
Talk to the law firm.
292
00:14:25,164 --> 00:14:26,564
Hey, we already
know the party line.
293
00:14:26,632 --> 00:14:28,152
The clients complained,
Wells resigned.
294
00:14:28,201 --> 00:14:30,033
Then start with the clients.
295
00:14:33,473 --> 00:14:36,068
The environmental
suit was a can of worms.
296
00:14:36,142 --> 00:14:38,873
If we emerged from it unscathed,
it's because of Elliot Wells.
297
00:14:38,945 --> 00:14:41,141
According to his
firm, he burned out.
298
00:14:41,214 --> 00:14:42,705
I didn't see any
evidence of that.
299
00:14:42,782 --> 00:14:45,728
Well, they said they had complaints
from his clients, including your company.
300
00:14:45,752 --> 00:14:47,277
No, not from us.
301
00:14:47,353 --> 00:14:51,188
What we got was a call last week from
the managing partner, Chuck Hanna.
302
00:14:51,257 --> 00:14:54,284
He said they found some
irregularities in Elliot's billing.
303
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,589
You sound skeptical.
304
00:14:55,661 --> 00:14:58,563
Elliot was one of the most
honest lawyers I've met.
305
00:14:58,631 --> 00:15:02,033
He once brought a billing error
in his firm's favor to our attention.
306
00:15:02,101 --> 00:15:04,161
I wanted him to continue
as our outside counsel.
307
00:15:04,237 --> 00:15:05,296
So what did you do?
308
00:15:05,371 --> 00:15:08,364
I called the senior partner,
Jerry Dixon, to inquire,
309
00:15:08,441 --> 00:15:10,967
and he told me there
were some improprieties.
310
00:15:11,043 --> 00:15:12,807
BRISCOE: What kind?
311
00:15:12,879 --> 00:15:14,541
Of a personal nature.
312
00:15:15,982 --> 00:15:17,780
Mr. Nelson, we're
not mind readers.
313
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:20,217
Let's just say Jerry explained
that in the present climate,
314
00:15:20,286 --> 00:15:23,723
our legal representation
should be above all reproach.
315
00:15:24,857 --> 00:15:26,257
He had a point.
316
00:15:29,095 --> 00:15:30,620
DIXON: It's a tragedy.
317
00:15:30,696 --> 00:15:32,441
We were just talking about
him the night it happened,
318
00:15:32,465 --> 00:15:34,934
at a charity dinner
at the University Club.
319
00:15:35,001 --> 00:15:36,912
Elliot was the head of the
firm's charities committee,
320
00:15:36,936 --> 00:15:38,131
until he resigned.
321
00:15:38,204 --> 00:15:40,639
Don't you mean
until he was fired?
322
00:15:40,706 --> 00:15:41,935
Where'd you get that idea?
323
00:15:42,008 --> 00:15:44,102
From Shuster's general counsel.
324
00:15:44,177 --> 00:15:45,406
And he got it from you.
325
00:15:45,478 --> 00:15:48,642
I mean, he pretty much told us that
Wells was kicked because he was gay.
326
00:15:48,714 --> 00:15:49,875
That would be actionable.
327
00:15:49,949 --> 00:15:51,577
Yeah, if he was still
around to sue you.
328
00:15:51,651 --> 00:15:52,771
We pulled his phone records.
329
00:15:52,819 --> 00:15:56,347
On Saturday morning, he called the
top sexual harassment firm in the city.
330
00:15:56,422 --> 00:15:58,152
His next call was
to you, at home.
331
00:15:58,224 --> 00:16:01,558
And we're guessing that he threatened
to sue unless he got his job back.
332
00:16:01,627 --> 00:16:03,152
Are we in the ballpark?
333
00:16:04,697 --> 00:16:07,963
Our biggest client distributes
baby food in the Midwest.
334
00:16:08,034 --> 00:16:10,333
If for any reason they
become uncomfortable with us,
335
00:16:10,403 --> 00:16:12,338
there are plenty of law
firms in the phone book.
336
00:16:12,405 --> 00:16:14,465
We understand he was
pretty deep in the closet.
337
00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:15,918
DIXON: Which made
him a security risk.
338
00:16:15,942 --> 00:16:19,037
He was privy to our clients'
most privileged information.
339
00:16:19,111 --> 00:16:21,410
So in or out of the
closet, you didn't want him.
340
00:16:21,481 --> 00:16:23,848
Whatever happened
to "don't ask, don't tell"?
341
00:16:23,916 --> 00:16:25,475
We found out, so could anybody.
342
00:16:25,551 --> 00:16:29,682
That's what we'd like to know,
Mr. Dixon. Exactly how did you find out?
343
00:16:29,755 --> 00:16:30,916
Excuse me.
344
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:32,925
Jerry, the sitter's here,
we're going to be late.
345
00:16:32,992 --> 00:16:34,290
In a minute, hon.
346
00:16:37,830 --> 00:16:42,097
I called Elliot at home last week
about a case, it was early in the morning.
347
00:16:42,168 --> 00:16:46,435
A man answered, he had a British accent.
He told me Elliot was in the shower.
348
00:16:46,506 --> 00:16:48,441
And then what?
He just let it slip?
349
00:16:48,508 --> 00:16:49,601
He didn't have to.
350
00:16:49,675 --> 00:16:53,703
You have male company at 6:00 a.m.,
it's probably not your jogging partner.
351
00:16:53,779 --> 00:16:57,807
I was concerned. I confronted
Elliot on Friday, he admitted it.
352
00:16:58,684 --> 00:17:03,179
Now, gentlemen, if you'll excuse me,
Le Cirque at 8:00 is hard to come by.
353
00:17:06,192 --> 00:17:07,660
A British accent?
354
00:17:07,727 --> 00:17:10,856
Unless he was practicing his
Audrey Hepburn, that can't be Tony.
355
00:17:10,930 --> 00:17:14,367
So maybe Tony is not crazy
after all. There was another guy.
356
00:17:14,433 --> 00:17:17,597
Yeah, a secret lover
of a secret homosexual?
357
00:17:17,670 --> 00:17:20,230
Ought to be as easy as
finding a needle in a haystack.
358
00:17:20,306 --> 00:17:24,038
The neighbor said Wells was getting
flowers delivered to his apartment.
359
00:17:24,110 --> 00:17:25,908
Right, read the card.
360
00:17:28,147 --> 00:17:31,276
I guess some people really
do buy it for the articles.
361
00:17:31,350 --> 00:17:33,785
Yeah, or to keep up appearances.
362
00:17:33,853 --> 00:17:35,831
You know, I had some
friends in college who were gay,
363
00:17:35,855 --> 00:17:38,222
most of them hadn't
even told their parents.
364
00:17:38,291 --> 00:17:40,726
I mean, I couldn't deal with
the lifestyle, but I got to say
365
00:17:40,793 --> 00:17:43,422
I have an appreciation for
what it must be like to be gay,
366
00:17:43,496 --> 00:17:44,862
having to hide it all the time.
367
00:17:44,931 --> 00:17:48,629
Yeah, from people who can't
deal with the lifestyle. Bingo!
368
00:17:49,168 --> 00:17:55,074
Florist's card from the Village,
unsigned, addressed to
"mon amour."
369
00:17:56,676 --> 00:17:58,508
"Mon amour."
370
00:17:58,578 --> 00:18:01,878
Our delivery guy thought it
meant "Monday morning."
371
00:18:02,114 --> 00:18:04,242
We're looking for the
person who sent them.
372
00:18:04,317 --> 00:18:08,482
As long as I'm not violating
any florist-client confidentiality.
373
00:18:08,554 --> 00:18:12,013
Monsieur has been ordering
from us for a few months now,
374
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:13,992
spreading joy all over the city.
375
00:18:14,060 --> 00:18:15,824
Among other things.
376
00:18:16,429 --> 00:18:18,398
Here he is. Always pays cash.
377
00:18:18,464 --> 00:18:19,659
Any name?
378
00:18:19,732 --> 00:18:20,756
Stuart.
379
00:18:20,833 --> 00:18:21,910
You got a phone number there?
380
00:18:21,934 --> 00:18:23,459
Just a return address.
381
00:18:28,207 --> 00:18:30,802
Hey! What's going on here?
382
00:18:30,876 --> 00:18:32,777
We're looking for Mr. Stuart.
383
00:18:32,845 --> 00:18:35,280
Who are you? The super.
Is Mr. Stuart in trouble?
384
00:18:35,348 --> 00:18:38,093
We're investigating a homicide. We
thought maybe he could help us out.
385
00:18:38,117 --> 00:18:40,197
Well, I haven't seen him
in nearly a couple of weeks.
386
00:18:40,252 --> 00:18:41,276
But I could let you in.
387
00:18:41,354 --> 00:18:42,431
We can't. We don't
have a warrant.
388
00:18:42,455 --> 00:18:45,823
Well, if you wanted to look in
and make sure Mr. Stuart's okay,
389
00:18:45,891 --> 00:18:46,984
that would be fine with us.
390
00:18:47,059 --> 00:18:48,755
You think maybe
something happened to him?
391
00:18:48,828 --> 00:18:51,696
He could be lying in there,
dead of a heart attack, right, Rey?
392
00:18:51,764 --> 00:18:52,764
Whatever you say, Lennie.
393
00:18:52,832 --> 00:18:54,266
Just what I need.
394
00:18:54,333 --> 00:18:57,861
I did him a favor in the
first place, subletting to him.
395
00:18:58,170 --> 00:18:59,399
(SHOUTING) Mr. Stuart?
396
00:18:59,472 --> 00:19:03,034
Maybe you ought to go in
and check, just to be sure, huh?
397
00:19:05,878 --> 00:19:08,404
Remember, just
what's in plain view.
398
00:19:24,463 --> 00:19:27,023
It's what you don't see,
Lennie. Cupboards look empty,
399
00:19:27,099 --> 00:19:29,762
there's a couple of
glasses in the sink, that's it.
400
00:19:29,835 --> 00:19:31,303
Guy's not much of a cook.
401
00:19:31,370 --> 00:19:32,702
Oh, he cooks, all right.
402
00:19:32,772 --> 00:19:35,765
There's a family size box of
condoms on the nightstand.
403
00:19:35,841 --> 00:19:39,039
Plenty of booze,
music, mood lighting.
404
00:19:43,215 --> 00:19:45,684
Hey, which one of
these is Mr. Stuart?
405
00:19:45,751 --> 00:19:47,811
That's him in
the leather jacket.
406
00:19:47,887 --> 00:19:49,856
Jerold Dixon and friend.
407
00:19:50,790 --> 00:19:54,784
If Wells was in the closet,
Dixon's in a box on the top shelf.
408
00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:56,419
He was having
an affair with Wells.
409
00:19:56,495 --> 00:19:57,554
Or trying to.
410
00:19:57,630 --> 00:19:59,997
If you count all the flowers
and the late-night phone calls,
411
00:20:00,066 --> 00:20:01,500
he was dogging
Wells pretty hard,
412
00:20:01,567 --> 00:20:03,412
and I don't think he was
getting with the program.
413
00:20:03,436 --> 00:20:05,530
Maybe Dixon got
mad and canned him.
414
00:20:05,604 --> 00:20:08,631
Wells threatens to sue
and blow Dixon's cover.
415
00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:10,677
It's a pretty strong
motive to shut him up.
416
00:20:10,743 --> 00:20:13,144
Now try it not knowing
that Dixon sent the flowers
417
00:20:13,212 --> 00:20:14,771
or even that he was gay.
418
00:20:14,847 --> 00:20:17,476
You had no business being in
his apartment without a warrant.
419
00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:20,486
Hey, the super was checking up
on a tenant, we just tagged along.
420
00:20:20,553 --> 00:20:22,681
Great, now we can all
pile into the little clown car
421
00:20:22,755 --> 00:20:24,485
and go tell it to the judge.
422
00:20:24,557 --> 00:20:26,685
It doesn't pass the
laugh test, guys.
423
00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:28,785
Bring me probable
cause, then we'll talk.
424
00:20:28,861 --> 00:20:30,420
How about a confession?
425
00:20:30,496 --> 00:20:32,055
That would be nice, too.
426
00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:36,601
TONY: Elliot told me
all about you, Mr. Dixon.
427
00:20:36,669 --> 00:20:37,967
I saw the flowers you sent him.
428
00:20:38,037 --> 00:20:40,973
Tell me, you speak
French to your wife, too?
429
00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:43,172
Hey, don't get pissy
with me, Mr. Dixon.
430
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:46,110
I saw you leave his building
the night he was killed.
431
00:20:46,178 --> 00:20:47,612
I know what you look like.
432
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,707
Elliot showed me a picture
from the Christmas party.
433
00:20:50,783 --> 00:20:53,753
What I want is for you to meet
me tomorrow at Bryant Park,
434
00:20:53,819 --> 00:20:56,015
and we'll talk. Noonish.
435
00:20:56,989 --> 00:21:00,050
Show up, or I'll go to
the police. Bye, lover.
436
00:21:03,028 --> 00:21:04,223
I don't think he bought it.
437
00:21:04,296 --> 00:21:06,788
You had him breathing
pretty hard. He bought it.
438
00:21:06,866 --> 00:21:09,010
I have a bad feeling. What if
he tries something tomorrow?
439
00:21:09,034 --> 00:21:12,004
We'll be there, eyes and
ears, nothing to worry about.
440
00:21:12,071 --> 00:21:13,403
Are you sure this is even legal?
441
00:21:13,472 --> 00:21:15,373
Yes, Tony, it is.
442
00:21:15,841 --> 00:21:19,243
Look, we have two
suspects here, Dixon and you.
443
00:21:19,311 --> 00:21:21,837
If we don't get
him, we'll take you.
444
00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:28,819
Testing, one, two, three.
Hope you can hear me.
445
00:21:30,723 --> 00:21:32,919
Didn't I tell him to keep
his hands off the jacket?
446
00:21:32,992 --> 00:21:34,069
(STATIC BUZZING)
TONY: Testing, one, two...
447
00:21:34,093 --> 00:21:36,494
Hey, Lennie, here comes Dixon.
448
00:21:39,598 --> 00:21:42,568
Jerry Dixon? I'm Tony.
449
00:21:42,635 --> 00:21:43,967
I don't have all day.
450
00:21:44,036 --> 00:21:46,096
Always in a hurry,
just like the other night.
451
00:21:46,172 --> 00:21:47,367
You're imagining things.
452
00:21:47,439 --> 00:21:49,340
I'm not imagining you right now.
453
00:21:49,408 --> 00:21:51,775
You are here because
you killed Elliot.
454
00:21:51,844 --> 00:21:52,937
That's absolute crap.
455
00:21:53,012 --> 00:21:54,810
Suit yourself, lover.
456
00:21:55,581 --> 00:21:57,592
How come there's never a
cop around when you need one?
457
00:21:57,616 --> 00:22:00,450
Knock it off. No one's going to
believe a sleazy little drag queen.
458
00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:02,511
At least I don't lie
next to my wife at night
459
00:22:02,588 --> 00:22:04,250
and dream of doing the doorman.
460
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:06,258
Enough with the jacket.
461
00:22:08,427 --> 00:22:09,986
DIXON: What do you want from me?
462
00:22:10,062 --> 00:22:13,328
TONY: A dozen of those
roses you're so fond of sending.
463
00:22:13,399 --> 00:22:14,890
And a lot of money.
464
00:22:14,967 --> 00:22:16,629
You're crazy...
465
00:22:16,702 --> 00:22:17,863
Flowers...
466
00:22:17,937 --> 00:22:19,132
(STATIC BUZZING)
467
00:22:19,205 --> 00:22:20,537
I'm going to kill him.
468
00:22:20,606 --> 00:22:21,801
Fix it first.
469
00:22:22,408 --> 00:22:23,432
DIXON: gonna cost me?
470
00:22:23,509 --> 00:22:25,239
TONY: Ten grand's
a nice round number.
471
00:22:25,311 --> 00:22:26,939
Have it tomorrow.
472
00:22:28,147 --> 00:22:31,208
Same time, at
Framburg, for lunch.
473
00:22:31,283 --> 00:22:33,081
No. I'll meet you here.
474
00:22:33,152 --> 00:22:35,018
No. Lunch at Framburg.
475
00:22:36,155 --> 00:22:39,455
In front of your lawyer
pals. That way I'll be safe.
476
00:22:39,925 --> 00:22:43,225
Besides, I always wanted
to try their steak tartare.
477
00:22:44,363 --> 00:22:45,956
Way to go, Tony.
478
00:22:49,001 --> 00:22:50,799
DIXON ON RECORDER:
gonna cost me?
479
00:22:50,870 --> 00:22:53,772
TONY ON RECORDER: Ten
grand's a nice round number.
480
00:22:53,839 --> 00:22:55,467
Have it tomorrow.
481
00:22:55,875 --> 00:22:57,343
What was said during the static?
482
00:22:57,409 --> 00:22:59,469
According to Tony, they
talked about a payoff.
483
00:22:59,545 --> 00:23:02,515
Dixon's a lawyer. He's not dumb
enough to fess up to a killing.
484
00:23:02,581 --> 00:23:06,746
He agreed to pay hush money. It
sounds like an admission of guilt to me.
485
00:23:06,819 --> 00:23:08,617
If he comes through
with the money.
486
00:23:08,687 --> 00:23:10,747
And if he does?
487
00:23:10,823 --> 00:23:12,121
Read him his rights.
488
00:23:24,603 --> 00:23:28,802
It's flannel, do you like it? I
borrowed it for the occasion.
489
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:31,240
What are we drinking?
490
00:23:32,511 --> 00:23:36,004
We aren't drinking
anything. Here.
491
00:23:37,249 --> 00:23:39,115
Not even a farewell toast?
492
00:23:41,186 --> 00:23:42,313
What the hell is this?
493
00:23:42,388 --> 00:23:44,186
Well, looks like a payoff to me.
494
00:23:44,256 --> 00:23:46,851
Jerold Dixon, you're under
arrest for the murder of Elliot Wells.
495
00:23:46,926 --> 00:23:48,519
I just got here.
496
00:23:48,594 --> 00:23:49,857
And now you're leaving.
497
00:23:52,898 --> 00:23:55,390
He was nowhere near
Wells' place that night.
498
00:23:55,467 --> 00:23:57,231
He was at the University
Club with his wife.
499
00:23:57,303 --> 00:23:59,670
They have their photo in
The Post, for God sakes.
500
00:23:59,738 --> 00:24:00,797
CLAIRE: We saw it.
501
00:24:00,873 --> 00:24:04,503
Cocktails were at 7:30, half
an hour after Wells was shot.
502
00:24:04,576 --> 00:24:07,136
Innocent people don't
pay off witnesses, Peter.
503
00:24:07,212 --> 00:24:10,011
A bogus witness who
was extorting my client.
504
00:24:10,082 --> 00:24:11,559
CLAIRE: He should have
reported it to the police.
505
00:24:11,583 --> 00:24:12,861
It was the police
who set him up.
506
00:24:12,885 --> 00:24:15,548
Well, he didn't
know that, did he?
507
00:24:15,621 --> 00:24:17,852
Peter, I'm sorry, I
have to go home.
508
00:24:17,923 --> 00:24:19,516
Sela needs me around.
509
00:24:19,591 --> 00:24:21,492
Please, just wait
for me outside.
510
00:24:23,829 --> 00:24:24,922
(SIGHING)
511
00:24:24,997 --> 00:24:27,694
He's been on anti-depressants
since his arrest.
512
00:24:27,766 --> 00:24:30,099
His doctor thinks he's suicidal.
513
00:24:30,169 --> 00:24:33,139
If it's all the same, I'd rather
he stuck around for the trial.
514
00:24:33,205 --> 00:24:35,868
(SIGHING) Jack, his
wife is going to alibi him.
515
00:24:35,941 --> 00:24:37,807
You have no witnesses,
no murder weapon.
516
00:24:37,876 --> 00:24:39,487
What did he do, throw
the bullets at Wells?
517
00:24:39,511 --> 00:24:42,913
We found the victim's blood on the
carpet of Dixon's apartment in the Village.
518
00:24:42,982 --> 00:24:45,327
So you matched the blood type.
Jerry couldn't keep it in his pants.
519
00:24:45,351 --> 00:24:46,461
He brought home a lot of dates.
520
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:48,147
One of them cuts
himself shaving.
521
00:24:48,220 --> 00:24:50,883
Give us his name,
we'll check him out.
522
00:24:50,956 --> 00:24:52,219
In due course.
523
00:24:53,692 --> 00:24:57,129
In the meantime, you can
keep yourself busy with this.
524
00:24:57,796 --> 00:25:01,062
Omnibus motion to suppress my
client's so-called admission of guilt.
525
00:25:01,133 --> 00:25:02,658
He was coerced.
526
00:25:03,168 --> 00:25:06,366
You're in the fudge up to
your chin, Jack. Counselor.
527
00:25:10,809 --> 00:25:12,277
Standard defense hype?
528
00:25:12,344 --> 00:25:15,405
Get Detectives Briscoe
and Curtis on the phone.
529
00:25:17,149 --> 00:25:19,812
You know what I said.
You've got it on tape.
530
00:25:19,885 --> 00:25:22,320
What we got was
12 seconds of static.
531
00:25:22,388 --> 00:25:24,118
I'm not a technical person.
532
00:25:24,189 --> 00:25:25,817
JACK: You can read, can't you?
533
00:25:27,893 --> 00:25:29,122
I don't like his tone.
534
00:25:29,194 --> 00:25:31,129
Just look at the
transcript, Tony.
535
00:25:31,196 --> 00:25:33,722
Before the glitch, Dixon
was getting ready to leave.
536
00:25:33,799 --> 00:25:35,529
After the glitch,
he's talking price.
537
00:25:35,601 --> 00:25:38,161
I want to know what
changed his mind.
538
00:25:38,237 --> 00:25:40,706
The thought of sharing his
cell with Bubba the serial killer?
539
00:25:40,773 --> 00:25:44,369
Mr. Conneca, I have an
affidavit from the defendant,
540
00:25:44,443 --> 00:25:45,911
spelling out what you told him.
541
00:25:45,978 --> 00:25:50,040
He claims that you threatened to tell his
family and his co-workers that he's gay,
542
00:25:50,115 --> 00:25:52,414
and that's why he paid you off.
543
00:25:53,819 --> 00:25:55,014
Well?
544
00:25:55,087 --> 00:25:59,149
Suppose I did mention something like
that? I just asked him, "What's worse?
545
00:25:59,224 --> 00:26:02,126
"That people will know
he's a fag or a murderer?"
546
00:26:02,194 --> 00:26:04,629
Look, I had to tell
him something.
547
00:26:04,696 --> 00:26:07,996
He wasn't going for it,
these guys were all over me.
548
00:26:11,470 --> 00:26:12,914
It's the core of the
Miranda decision,
549
00:26:12,938 --> 00:26:14,873
any admission of
guilt must be voluntary.
550
00:26:14,940 --> 00:26:17,842
It cannot be elicited through
coercion, whether overt or implicit.
551
00:26:17,910 --> 00:26:21,438
JACK: There was no rubber
hose, or even the shadow of one.
552
00:26:21,513 --> 00:26:23,607
If he wasn't at
the victim's home,
553
00:26:23,682 --> 00:26:25,927
he had to know the informant
couldn't have seen him there.
554
00:26:25,951 --> 00:26:27,128
My client wasn't
worried about that,
555
00:26:27,152 --> 00:26:29,564
he was worried about his friends
and family finding out he was gay.
556
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:32,456
Mr. McCoy, do you contest
the defendant's affidavit?
557
00:26:32,524 --> 00:26:34,686
The informant made
ambiguous statements,
558
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,595
how the defendant interpreted
them is for a jury to decide.
559
00:26:38,664 --> 00:26:40,394
The threat of outing
him was implicit.
560
00:26:40,466 --> 00:26:42,177
It's no different than
holding a gun to his head.
561
00:26:42,201 --> 00:26:46,696
Mr. McCoy, your officers should have
kept a tighter leash on their informant.
562
00:26:46,772 --> 00:26:50,470
The defendant clearly was
reacting to an improper threat,
563
00:26:50,542 --> 00:26:53,068
and there was no
admission of guilt.
564
00:26:53,145 --> 00:26:57,105
Evidence seized is suppressed.
Charges are dismissed.
565
00:26:59,151 --> 00:27:02,781
Who the hell is running the
police department? Anita Bryant?
566
00:27:02,855 --> 00:27:04,915
Their informant ad-libbed.
567
00:27:04,990 --> 00:27:08,483
If they hadn't threatened him, then
he would have stuck to the script.
568
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,120
They sent the wrong
man to catch the right one.
569
00:27:11,196 --> 00:27:14,132
The preliminary DNA results on
the blood in Dixon's apartment,
570
00:27:14,199 --> 00:27:15,929
it belongs to Wells.
571
00:27:16,001 --> 00:27:18,446
Dixon probably got it on his shoe
and tracked it back to his place.
572
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:20,371
Wonderful, you can
use it to train puppies.
573
00:27:20,439 --> 00:27:23,500
Unless we can get it
readmitted. We go after his alibi?
574
00:27:23,575 --> 00:27:25,874
The wife, she sticking by him?
575
00:27:25,944 --> 00:27:30,040
Well, she gave a statement to the
police, but nobody's leaned on her.
576
00:27:30,115 --> 00:27:31,913
How's your afternoon?
577
00:27:35,521 --> 00:27:39,754
I saw the Dixons around 8:30,
just as the entree was being served.
578
00:27:39,825 --> 00:27:41,088
What time did they arrive?
579
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:42,219
I don't know.
580
00:27:42,294 --> 00:27:44,596
I was on the phone to
the Musicians' Union.
581
00:27:44,620 --> 00:27:46,891
Our cellist went into
labor a month early.
582
00:27:46,965 --> 00:27:48,490
Did you talk to Mr. Dixon?
583
00:27:48,567 --> 00:27:50,058
Yes. He was the
after-dinner speaker.
584
00:27:50,135 --> 00:27:51,855
I had to finalize the
arrangements with him.
585
00:27:51,904 --> 00:27:52,928
Okay. How was he?
586
00:27:53,005 --> 00:27:54,029
Relaxed.
587
00:27:54,106 --> 00:27:57,304
You couldn't tell he'd just
come from killing his gay lover.
588
00:27:57,376 --> 00:27:58,776
You're not waiting
for a verdict?
589
00:27:58,844 --> 00:28:01,643
A man like that who
leads a double life?
590
00:28:01,713 --> 00:28:05,275
I feel sorry for his wife.
Is there anything else?
591
00:28:05,884 --> 00:28:10,219
Well, I'll just need the names of the
people that were seated with them.
592
00:28:10,289 --> 00:28:12,258
Jerry Dixon, a switch hitter.
593
00:28:12,324 --> 00:28:16,659
"Caught between duty and desire,"
as my hairdresser would say. Amazing.
594
00:28:16,895 --> 00:28:19,694
Olivia,
dos cafe, por favor.
595
00:28:19,765 --> 00:28:20,789
Cream, sugar?
596
00:28:20,866 --> 00:28:22,425
Black is fine.
597
00:28:22,501 --> 00:28:24,936
You remember what
time you saw the Dixons?
598
00:28:25,003 --> 00:28:26,995
Sela showed up just as
we were getting seated,
599
00:28:27,072 --> 00:28:29,041
so that'd be about 8:00.
600
00:28:29,107 --> 00:28:31,099
What about Mr. Dixon?
601
00:28:31,176 --> 00:28:33,008
She said he was in the washroom.
602
00:28:33,078 --> 00:28:39,245
He turned up about 15 minutes later with
a drink, a double. It had a short life.
603
00:28:39,318 --> 00:28:40,752
He was drinking
heavily that night?
604
00:28:40,819 --> 00:28:42,788
Well, wouldn't you if
you'd killed someone?
605
00:28:42,854 --> 00:28:45,050
Which everyone I've
talked to agrees he did.
606
00:28:45,123 --> 00:28:49,322
Well, you'd have to know
Jerry. I feel terrible for Sela.
607
00:28:49,795 --> 00:28:51,873
I mean, after everything
she's put up with over the years,
608
00:28:51,897 --> 00:28:55,265
I'm sure she never expected
Jerry to get in trouble over a man.
609
00:28:55,334 --> 00:28:57,803
So how was it
supposed to play out?
610
00:28:57,869 --> 00:29:01,328
The usual scandal. Jerry
Dixon was a philanderer.
611
00:29:01,406 --> 00:29:03,932
Two years ago, he was appointed
receiver of Dominion Charities,
612
00:29:04,009 --> 00:29:05,807
they had some financial trouble.
613
00:29:05,877 --> 00:29:10,110
His appointment was for a
year. Jerry lasted three months.
614
00:29:11,316 --> 00:29:13,945
He stuck his hand
up the wrong skirt.
615
00:29:14,419 --> 00:29:17,321
He's there a month,
and he starts in on me.
616
00:29:17,389 --> 00:29:19,349
I'm supposed to be helping
him sort out the books,
617
00:29:19,391 --> 00:29:21,883
he's breathing down my blouse.
618
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,292
What did you do?
619
00:29:23,362 --> 00:29:25,354
This guy was
appointed by a judge.
620
00:29:26,064 --> 00:29:29,000
I just made sure I was
never alone with him.
621
00:29:29,368 --> 00:29:31,269
Then he started
with the flowers.
622
00:29:31,336 --> 00:29:33,931
Two dozen long
stems every other day.
623
00:29:34,006 --> 00:29:35,201
I would have been furious.
624
00:29:35,274 --> 00:29:38,438
Yeah, so was my fiancé
when he saw the flowers.
625
00:29:38,510 --> 00:29:40,103
You know, I didn't
want to make a stink.
626
00:29:40,178 --> 00:29:44,878
I just told Dixon to
back off, but nicely.
627
00:29:45,284 --> 00:29:46,411
Did he get the message?
628
00:29:46,485 --> 00:29:50,013
No. He started leaving
gifts on my desk.
629
00:29:50,088 --> 00:29:54,651
He even followed me home one night
and rang my doorbell. I was terrified.
630
00:29:54,726 --> 00:29:57,321
The next day, I
talked to my superior.
631
00:29:57,396 --> 00:29:59,092
He told me I
wasn't the only one.
632
00:29:59,164 --> 00:30:01,065
There were other women? Yes.
633
00:30:01,133 --> 00:30:02,658
The man's sick.
634
00:30:02,734 --> 00:30:04,669
You know, you
could have sued him.
635
00:30:04,736 --> 00:30:08,434
I know, I thought about that,
but his wife talked me out of it.
636
00:30:08,507 --> 00:30:11,170
Mrs. Dixon? What did she say?
637
00:30:11,877 --> 00:30:15,871
Well, how it would be terrible
for his family, you know, his kids.
638
00:30:15,947 --> 00:30:17,677
That convinced you?
639
00:30:18,317 --> 00:30:20,309
That and a check.
640
00:30:22,954 --> 00:30:25,890
She told me to consider
it a wedding present.
641
00:30:26,325 --> 00:30:27,325
I told the police.
642
00:30:27,392 --> 00:30:30,556
Jerry and I spent the day
together, then we went to the dinner.
643
00:30:30,629 --> 00:30:32,325
Mrs. Dixon, a man was murdered,
644
00:30:32,397 --> 00:30:35,333
you can't make it go
away by writing a check.
645
00:30:35,934 --> 00:30:37,334
I know that.
646
00:30:37,402 --> 00:30:40,429
I also know you have no
evidence against my husband.
647
00:30:40,505 --> 00:30:43,703
The DNA tests positively
identified the blood in his hideaway
648
00:30:43,775 --> 00:30:45,767
as belonging to Elliot Wells.
649
00:30:45,844 --> 00:30:50,714
And a half a dozen expert witnesses later,
who knows what a jury will make of it?
650
00:30:51,049 --> 00:30:52,312
If it ever comes to that.
651
00:30:52,384 --> 00:30:53,579
When it comes to that,
652
00:30:53,652 --> 00:30:57,521
your husband will be facing
25-to-life unless he cooperates now.
653
00:30:57,589 --> 00:30:59,387
We're not interested.
654
00:31:00,325 --> 00:31:04,057
Perhaps the two of you should
discuss it with his attorney.
655
00:31:05,097 --> 00:31:07,862
(LAUGHING) There's
nothing to discuss.
656
00:31:07,933 --> 00:31:09,902
How can you protect him?
657
00:31:10,135 --> 00:31:12,536
He was having affairs
with other women, with men.
658
00:31:12,604 --> 00:31:16,166
That is a damn lie. My
husband is not a homosexual.
659
00:31:16,241 --> 00:31:18,353
Mrs. Dixon... MRS. DIXON:
You know where Jerry is now?
660
00:31:18,377 --> 00:31:20,141
He's with a psychiatrist.
661
00:31:20,212 --> 00:31:23,114
He's been abandoned by his
colleagues, abandoned by his friends.
662
00:31:23,181 --> 00:31:25,661
He doesn't seem interested in
participating in his own defense,
663
00:31:25,717 --> 00:31:29,745
but I will not stand by and
allow you to destroy my family.
664
00:31:29,821 --> 00:31:31,119
JACK: I understand your reasons.
665
00:31:31,189 --> 00:31:34,921
But if you take the stand
and lie, I will prosecute you
666
00:31:34,993 --> 00:31:38,395
for perjury, for obstruction,
as an accessory after the fact.
667
00:31:38,463 --> 00:31:42,161
(LAUGHING) Oh, please. There
are so many lawyers in my family,
668
00:31:42,234 --> 00:31:46,035
when I was a little girl I thought
Esquire was our last name.
669
00:31:46,438 --> 00:31:49,704
Your threats don't
scare me, Mr. McCoy.
670
00:31:53,044 --> 00:31:55,036
Aren't you double parked?
671
00:31:55,347 --> 00:31:57,373
Well, behind every
successful felon...
672
00:31:57,449 --> 00:31:59,384
Is someone picking
up the pieces.
673
00:31:59,451 --> 00:32:04,116
Yeah, and her husband chases
every skirt and three-piece suit in sight.
674
00:32:04,189 --> 00:32:08,149
He commits murder, and she
mans the barricades for him.
675
00:32:08,693 --> 00:32:11,720
The love of my life must
have skipped that vow.
676
00:32:11,797 --> 00:32:14,596
I'm sure Sela Dixon
can rationalize it.
677
00:32:14,666 --> 00:32:17,727
Her husband kills Wells
to protect a family secret.
678
00:32:17,803 --> 00:32:19,294
The weekend doorman,
679
00:32:19,371 --> 00:32:21,704
he's on holiday in
Gainesville, I just talked to him.
680
00:32:21,773 --> 00:32:24,743
The Dixons left separately
just before 7:00, Saturday night.
681
00:32:24,810 --> 00:32:28,008
First, Mrs. Dixon,
then Mr. Dixon.
682
00:32:28,079 --> 00:32:29,377
So much for the alibi.
683
00:32:30,382 --> 00:32:32,351
Round two, bring him in.
684
00:32:36,755 --> 00:32:41,716
"Case number 484193,
People v. Jerold Dixon.
685
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:43,489
"Murder in the Second Degree."
686
00:32:43,562 --> 00:32:44,962
What's the plea?
687
00:32:45,030 --> 00:32:46,259
Not guilty.
688
00:32:46,331 --> 00:32:48,476
Your Honor, at a previous
arraignment on the same charge,
689
00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:50,162
the bail was set at $1 million.
690
00:32:50,235 --> 00:32:52,704
The People see no reason
to ask for any less now.
691
00:32:52,771 --> 00:32:55,900
The fact that they keep arresting my
client doesn't make him any more guilty.
692
00:32:55,974 --> 00:32:57,203
We ask for ROR.
693
00:32:57,275 --> 00:33:01,440
He made bail once, he
can make it again. $1 million.
694
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:03,605
Next case.
695
00:33:03,682 --> 00:33:07,778
(WHISPERING) Jerry, Jerry. You
be strong, we'll get you out of this.
696
00:33:09,221 --> 00:33:12,817
Ms. Kincaid, when my
husband is exonerated,
697
00:33:12,891 --> 00:33:15,224
I'm coming after the
district attorney's office.
698
00:33:15,293 --> 00:33:17,319
And when I'm through with you,
699
00:33:17,395 --> 00:33:20,854
you and Mr. McCoy won't
even be prosecuting jaywalkers.
700
00:33:25,303 --> 00:33:28,068
He killed Wells under
extreme emotional disturbance,
701
00:33:28,139 --> 00:33:31,735
he pleads man one, he serves
15, and that's as far as I can bend.
702
00:33:31,810 --> 00:33:34,837
I can't sell it, Jack. He said he
didn't do it, I happen to believe him.
703
00:33:34,913 --> 00:33:36,609
If I had a dollar for every time
704
00:33:36,681 --> 00:33:38,493
I've heard that... You'd still
be chasing the bad guys.
705
00:33:38,517 --> 00:33:42,010
Peter, at the end of the day,
Jerold Dixon is going to prison.
706
00:33:42,087 --> 00:33:45,615
For how long is up to
him and his advisors.
707
00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:48,987
What if he took a polygraph?
708
00:33:49,060 --> 00:33:50,084
Whose idea is that?
709
00:33:50,161 --> 00:33:51,873
Well, I wouldn't be crazy
enough to suggest it.
710
00:33:51,897 --> 00:33:53,092
He knows it's inadmissible?
711
00:33:53,164 --> 00:33:54,689
Yes, I explained the risks.
712
00:33:54,766 --> 00:33:58,066
He figures he's got nothing
to lose, neither do you.
713
00:33:58,136 --> 00:34:00,503
Our technician, our questions,
714
00:34:00,572 --> 00:34:03,667
you don't hear them till
the examiner asks them.
715
00:34:04,476 --> 00:34:05,808
All right.
716
00:34:06,244 --> 00:34:08,008
EXAMINER: Are you 46?
717
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:09,206
DIXON: Yes.
718
00:34:10,148 --> 00:34:12,379
Do you live in Australia?
719
00:34:12,450 --> 00:34:13,713
No.
720
00:34:14,619 --> 00:34:16,485
Did you know Elliot Wells?
721
00:34:16,555 --> 00:34:17,648
Yes.
722
00:34:18,790 --> 00:34:20,691
Did you ask him
to be your lover?
723
00:34:22,294 --> 00:34:23,353
Yes.
724
00:34:24,529 --> 00:34:26,157
Did he threaten to sue you?
725
00:34:26,231 --> 00:34:27,597
Yes.
726
00:34:27,666 --> 00:34:29,931
Did you shoot him?
727
00:34:30,001 --> 00:34:31,128
No.
728
00:34:32,237 --> 00:34:34,797
Were you with your wife
when he was murdered?
729
00:34:34,873 --> 00:34:35,932
Yes.
730
00:34:36,808 --> 00:34:38,936
You're checking his alibi?
731
00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:40,876
Did you think I'd
pass up the chance?
732
00:34:41,846 --> 00:34:43,144
DIXON: Yes.
733
00:34:44,783 --> 00:34:48,083
I don't know what makes him
think this would change our minds.
734
00:34:48,153 --> 00:34:51,282
His whole life's based on
deceit, he should be good at it.
735
00:34:51,356 --> 00:34:52,847
Wasn't he taking happy pills?
736
00:34:52,924 --> 00:34:54,950
The examiner took
that into account.
737
00:34:55,026 --> 00:34:58,463
Even at his worst, Dixon's
responses were inconclusive.
738
00:34:58,530 --> 00:35:02,399
He's not sure that he's 46,
but he definitely didn't kill Wells.
739
00:35:02,467 --> 00:35:04,698
Or he convinced
himself that he didn't.
740
00:35:05,971 --> 00:35:08,440
Look at his answer
to the alibi question.
741
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:13,977
He answered truthfully, at
least according to the machine.
742
00:35:14,045 --> 00:35:16,879
ADAM: Science, Ouija boards.
743
00:35:16,948 --> 00:35:20,350
Or he really was with
his wife, at Wells' place.
744
00:35:21,419 --> 00:35:24,184
They both have a lost hour
before they got to the dinner.
745
00:35:24,255 --> 00:35:26,918
She was with him
when he shot Wells?
746
00:35:26,992 --> 00:35:28,290
Or she shot Wells.
747
00:35:29,361 --> 00:35:32,729
She left their apartment
first. Dixon followed her.
748
00:35:34,499 --> 00:35:35,694
I like it.
749
00:35:35,767 --> 00:35:38,362
If I found out my man was
cheating on me with another man,
750
00:35:38,436 --> 00:35:39,904
it might push me
over the deep end.
751
00:35:39,971 --> 00:35:45,740
Well, before you turn this latest theory
into an arrest, convince a grand jury,
752
00:35:45,810 --> 00:35:49,212
because this time nobody
moves without an indictment.
753
00:35:50,382 --> 00:35:52,874
Who was at the Dixon's
home that weekend?
754
00:35:52,951 --> 00:35:55,182
The children, the babysitter.
755
00:35:55,954 --> 00:35:58,947
I'm going to be late for class.
I already talked to the police.
756
00:35:59,024 --> 00:36:00,583
I don't know what
else I can tell you.
757
00:36:00,659 --> 00:36:02,855
Ms. Kobata, we just have
to clarify your statement.
758
00:36:02,927 --> 00:36:05,328
We'll make this as
painless as possible.
759
00:36:05,397 --> 00:36:09,528
I told the police. I took the Dixon
kids to a movie Saturday afternoon.
760
00:36:09,601 --> 00:36:12,867
We were home by 8:00, Mr. and
Mrs. Dixon had already left.
761
00:36:12,937 --> 00:36:14,963
You watch the kids
every weekend?
762
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,702
Well, usually it's just Sundays,
763
00:36:16,775 --> 00:36:19,335
but Mr. Dixon called me
that Saturday afternoon,
764
00:36:19,411 --> 00:36:21,346
practically begged
me to come over.
765
00:36:21,413 --> 00:36:23,439
What was the emergency?
766
00:36:23,515 --> 00:36:25,143
I'm not really sure.
767
00:36:25,216 --> 00:36:27,617
Well, when I got there,
the kids were really upset.
768
00:36:27,686 --> 00:36:29,416
CLAIRE: Where was Mrs. Dixon?
769
00:36:29,487 --> 00:36:31,388
I saw her go in her bedroom.
770
00:36:31,890 --> 00:36:33,620
She looked like
she'd been crying.
771
00:36:33,692 --> 00:36:36,025
Mr. Dixon told me to
take the kids to a movie.
772
00:36:36,094 --> 00:36:38,120
So how were things when
you went back Sunday?
773
00:36:38,196 --> 00:36:40,028
It was like stepping
into the Brady Bunch.
774
00:36:40,098 --> 00:36:42,590
Mrs. Dixon was all
smiles, real chatty.
775
00:36:42,667 --> 00:36:45,762
Mr. Dixon was in his den
all day, I hardly saw him.
776
00:36:45,837 --> 00:36:48,932
Look, I really have to
get to class. I'm sorry.
777
00:36:52,177 --> 00:36:56,376
What a difference a day makes.
Overnight, the Dixon's problems are solved.
778
00:36:56,448 --> 00:36:58,576
That doesn't put the
gun in Sela Dixon's hand.
779
00:36:58,650 --> 00:37:01,950
It certainly implies she was upset
about Wells before the murder.
780
00:37:02,020 --> 00:37:03,989
The only evidence
implicates Mr. Dixon.
781
00:37:04,055 --> 00:37:07,025
If he keeps stonewalling
us, she might get away with it.
782
00:37:07,092 --> 00:37:09,118
We know that, she doesn't.
783
00:37:10,061 --> 00:37:11,256
I don't know what to say.
784
00:37:11,329 --> 00:37:13,821
Did this come to you
in a dream, Mr. McCoy?
785
00:37:15,500 --> 00:37:18,527
After the polygraph, we gave
the evidence another look.
786
00:37:18,603 --> 00:37:22,301
We're no longer convinced
your husband killed Elliot Wells.
787
00:37:23,641 --> 00:37:25,337
So you'll be
dropping the charges?
788
00:37:25,410 --> 00:37:30,348
Not just yet. The polygraph also indicates
that he's protecting the real murderer.
789
00:37:33,451 --> 00:37:35,352
And who would that be?
790
00:37:35,420 --> 00:37:37,286
We don't know, but
your husband does.
791
00:37:37,956 --> 00:37:39,720
CLAIRE: It's the only
possible explanation
792
00:37:39,791 --> 00:37:42,260
for the blood in his apartment
and the polygraph results.
793
00:37:42,327 --> 00:37:47,493
Oh, I doubt that. But even
assuming that you're right,
794
00:37:47,565 --> 00:37:49,043
don't you think after all
you've put him through,
795
00:37:49,067 --> 00:37:51,195
he would've told you by now?
796
00:37:52,937 --> 00:37:57,238
Then we're wrong, but there are
still a few inconsistencies to clear up.
797
00:37:57,308 --> 00:37:58,753
CLAIRE: Yes, your
babysitter mentioned
798
00:37:58,777 --> 00:38:02,043
that you and your husband
had an argument Saturday.
799
00:38:02,380 --> 00:38:04,872
Yes, concerning our children.
800
00:38:04,949 --> 00:38:06,474
And she said that
you were very upset.
801
00:38:06,551 --> 00:38:10,147
I take my children's welfare
to heart. Anything else?
802
00:38:10,221 --> 00:38:14,750
The police need to examine the black
dress you wore at the University Club.
803
00:38:14,826 --> 00:38:15,885
What black dress?
804
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,191
The one you were
photographed in.
805
00:38:21,099 --> 00:38:23,728
I think that, that
is at the cleaners.
806
00:38:23,802 --> 00:38:25,134
Okay.
807
00:38:25,203 --> 00:38:29,607
But let us know as soon as you
find it, and thank you for talking to us.
808
00:38:33,912 --> 00:38:37,974
Dixon's lawyer just called back,
we're on for tomorrow morning.
809
00:38:38,049 --> 00:38:41,451
Good. Dixon will be in
the mood to talk by then.
810
00:38:41,519 --> 00:38:43,545
You counting on his wife
to soften him up for you?
811
00:38:43,621 --> 00:38:46,455
We practically told her
she was our prime suspect.
812
00:38:46,524 --> 00:38:49,170
She'll come down on him like a
ton of bricks to keep his mouth shut.
813
00:38:49,194 --> 00:38:51,026
Unless you're wrong,
814
00:38:51,095 --> 00:38:53,826
she was getting her nails
done when Wells was shot.
815
00:38:53,898 --> 00:38:55,890
Then why hasn't she
handed over the dress?
816
00:38:55,967 --> 00:39:00,029
'Cause the housekeeper stole it.
Who knows? Doesn't prove a thing.
817
00:39:01,573 --> 00:39:03,599
I don't think we're wrong.
818
00:39:04,209 --> 00:39:09,204
You accuse an innocent person of murder,
they'll raise holy hell, won't they?
819
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,112
Sela Dixon hardly
dropped a stitch.
820
00:39:11,182 --> 00:39:12,582
Why would she?
821
00:39:13,451 --> 00:39:17,513
You told her your whole case
consists of a babysitter's observations
822
00:39:17,589 --> 00:39:19,490
and a dress you don't have.
823
00:39:19,557 --> 00:39:21,924
And her husband's testimony.
824
00:39:21,993 --> 00:39:25,862
If he breaks,
which is not likely.
825
00:39:28,032 --> 00:39:30,092
Thanks for the
vote of confidence.
826
00:39:30,168 --> 00:39:31,466
Don't mention it.
827
00:39:35,940 --> 00:39:40,139
I heard a rumor, Jack. I hope
you've called us in to confirm it.
828
00:39:40,211 --> 00:39:42,737
You're going to dismiss the
charges against my client?
829
00:39:42,814 --> 00:39:44,043
We might.
830
00:39:45,083 --> 00:39:48,952
We also might charge him
as an accessory after the fact.
831
00:39:49,020 --> 00:39:50,283
An accessory to who?
832
00:39:50,355 --> 00:39:52,381
His wife, she killed Wells.
833
00:39:52,457 --> 00:39:54,449
He helped her
dispose of the evidence.
834
00:39:54,525 --> 00:39:55,891
That's crazy.
835
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,238
What evidence are
you talking about?
836
00:39:57,262 --> 00:40:01,199
We asked Mrs. Dixon for this
dress, the one she wore to the dinner.
837
00:40:01,299 --> 00:40:03,268
So far, she hasn't
turned it over.
838
00:40:03,334 --> 00:40:05,929
That dress is in some
landfill, isn't it, Mr. Dixon?
839
00:40:06,004 --> 00:40:07,164
DIXON: No. You got rid of it,
840
00:40:07,205 --> 00:40:09,436
because it was stained
with Elliot Wells' blood.
841
00:40:09,507 --> 00:40:11,237
No, of course not.
JACK: Then where is it?
842
00:40:11,309 --> 00:40:14,643
Now, down, Jack. My
client's here as a courtesy.
843
00:40:14,712 --> 00:40:15,907
I know.
844
00:40:16,681 --> 00:40:19,241
I appreciate it, considering
the stress he must be under.
845
00:40:19,317 --> 00:40:21,718
Sure. Now what do you want?
846
00:40:23,054 --> 00:40:25,285
His testimony
before the grand jury.
847
00:40:25,356 --> 00:40:28,224
How he supposedly helped
his wife avoid prosecution?
848
00:40:28,293 --> 00:40:29,921
He'd take the Fifth.
849
00:40:29,994 --> 00:40:32,156
I'll give him
transactional immunity.
850
00:40:32,230 --> 00:40:34,699
I don't care if you give
me a presidential pardon.
851
00:40:34,766 --> 00:40:37,895
What went on between me and my
wife is protected by spousal privilege.
852
00:40:37,969 --> 00:40:40,438
The privilege covers
confidential communication.
853
00:40:40,505 --> 00:40:43,134
Seeing your wife shoot
Elliot Wells doesn't qualify.
854
00:40:43,207 --> 00:40:46,234
If the only reason he was in
Wells' apartment in the first place,
855
00:40:46,311 --> 00:40:48,622
was because of privileged
communication... JACK: Come on, Peter.
856
00:40:48,646 --> 00:40:52,048
The privilege isn't made
of taffy, it has limits.
857
00:40:53,451 --> 00:40:58,947
Mr. Dixon, with or without you,
I'm going to trial against your wife.
858
00:40:59,691 --> 00:41:01,592
As of now, the
charge is murder two.
859
00:41:01,659 --> 00:41:03,150
You're bluffing.
860
00:41:03,995 --> 00:41:07,363
Do you really want to
wait for a verdict to find out?
861
00:41:10,001 --> 00:41:13,460
Now, if you can make
the grand jury understand
862
00:41:13,538 --> 00:41:15,973
what your wife
was going through,
863
00:41:16,841 --> 00:41:21,006
I might be able to convince them
to drop the charge to manslaughter.
864
00:41:26,918 --> 00:41:29,649
You know the truth
is the only way out.
865
00:41:30,888 --> 00:41:32,516
For both of you.
866
00:41:36,361 --> 00:41:39,490
You don't want to live a
lie any more, isn't that right?
867
00:41:39,564 --> 00:41:42,500
Why else did you offer
to take the polygraph?
868
00:41:50,208 --> 00:41:52,109
Your choice, Mr. Dixon.
869
00:42:00,351 --> 00:42:04,413
DIXON: She overheard me on
the phone one night talking to Elliot.
870
00:42:04,489 --> 00:42:10,360
She was angry, hurt,
but she blamed Elliot.
871
00:42:10,428 --> 00:42:12,954
JACK: Did she say why?
872
00:42:13,031 --> 00:42:15,159
She accused him
of encouraging me.
873
00:42:15,233 --> 00:42:17,566
She wanted to believe
that left to my own devices,
874
00:42:17,635 --> 00:42:20,127
I could control
my interest in men.
875
00:42:21,205 --> 00:42:23,071
She told me to fire Elliot.
876
00:42:23,141 --> 00:42:24,404
Is that what you did?
877
00:42:24,475 --> 00:42:26,774
DIXON: Yes. I
couldn't deal with Sela.
878
00:42:27,311 --> 00:42:30,543
On Friday, I told Elliot
to clean out his desk.
879
00:42:30,615 --> 00:42:32,743
The next day, he called me.
880
00:42:32,817 --> 00:42:35,912
He said he was going to
sue me and the law firm.
881
00:42:36,687 --> 00:42:38,349
I was stunned.
882
00:42:38,423 --> 00:42:40,221
Did you try to
talk him out of it?
883
00:42:40,291 --> 00:42:44,319
Yes, I offered him his job back,
I offered to give him money.
884
00:42:44,395 --> 00:42:46,660
He said he didn't
want any of that.
885
00:42:46,731 --> 00:42:50,827
He didn't care if everyone found out
he was gay, he was going to punish me.
886
00:42:50,902 --> 00:42:52,871
JACK: You told your wife? Yes.
887
00:42:53,971 --> 00:42:55,735
She was hysterical, humiliated.
888
00:42:57,542 --> 00:43:01,570
Our marriage, our family,
was everything to her.
889
00:43:03,247 --> 00:43:06,081
She demanded I find
a way to stop Elliot.
890
00:43:07,151 --> 00:43:09,347
There was nothing I could do.
891
00:43:10,888 --> 00:43:13,323
Then I had this
moment of clarity.
892
00:43:13,758 --> 00:43:15,124
About what?
893
00:43:18,029 --> 00:43:20,555
(SIGHING) I thought
maybe it was time
894
00:43:21,232 --> 00:43:24,498
to end the lie, to
come out of the closet.
895
00:43:24,569 --> 00:43:27,937
If Elliot was prepared
to do it, why not me?
896
00:43:29,107 --> 00:43:30,370
What did your wife say?
897
00:43:30,441 --> 00:43:31,909
Sela went crazy.
898
00:43:34,011 --> 00:43:37,573
She said I wasn't man enough
to take care of the problem.
899
00:43:38,583 --> 00:43:40,347
What happened then?
900
00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:43,720
(EXHALING)
901
00:43:43,788 --> 00:43:47,589
I want some consideration for
her, for what I put her through.
902
00:43:47,992 --> 00:43:49,893
Yes, I know, Mr. Dixon.
903
00:43:51,929 --> 00:43:54,922
Now would you please
just answer the question?
904
00:43:58,803 --> 00:44:03,673
I went to get a drink. When
I came back, she was gone.
905
00:44:05,076 --> 00:44:07,102
What else did you notice?
906
00:44:12,650 --> 00:44:15,586
Was the gun you keep
locked in the dresser missing?
907
00:44:15,653 --> 00:44:16,951
Yes.
908
00:44:17,021 --> 00:44:18,614
What did you do?
909
00:44:19,023 --> 00:44:21,686
(SIGHING) I
followed her to Elliot's.
910
00:44:23,361 --> 00:44:25,990
When I got there,
he was already dead.
911
00:44:27,632 --> 00:44:29,396
Where was your wife?
912
00:44:31,836 --> 00:44:33,930
(SOBBING) Please, I can't...
913
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,901
Was your wife still in
Elliot Wells' apartment?
914
00:44:40,645 --> 00:44:41,738
Yes.
915
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,114
Was she holding the gun?
916
00:44:44,182 --> 00:44:45,241
Yes.
917
00:44:45,316 --> 00:44:46,750
What did you do?
918
00:44:47,952 --> 00:44:49,580
I took it from her.
919
00:44:51,556 --> 00:44:54,617
I told her I'd meet up
with her at the dinner.
920
00:44:55,426 --> 00:44:58,658
Then I wiped down
everything that was in sight.
921
00:45:00,665 --> 00:45:02,463
Where is the gun now?
922
00:45:07,605 --> 00:45:10,097
In the East River,
off the seaport.
923
00:45:12,443 --> 00:45:15,072
And you never told
anyone about this?
924
00:45:15,546 --> 00:45:16,570
No.
925
00:45:17,281 --> 00:45:21,377
Even when you were charged with
this murder, you still protected her?
926
00:45:21,452 --> 00:45:24,047
Yes, of course. I'm her husband.
927
00:45:25,489 --> 00:45:26,980

Open it.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING

933

Mrs. Dixon, we have a
warrant for your arrest.

BRISCOE: Would
you please stand up?
935

Sela Dixon, you're under arrest
for the murder of Elliot Wells.
