1
00:00:17,934 --> 00:00:20,894
On my first day of law school,
my professor says two things.
2
00:00:20,978 --> 00:00:24,064
First, "From this day forward,
when your mother says she loves you,
3
00:00:24,148 --> 00:00:26,859
- "get a second opinion."
- And?
4
00:00:26,943 --> 00:00:28,944
"If you want justice, go to a whorehouse.
5
00:00:29,028 --> 00:00:31,697
"If you want to get fucked, go to court."
6
00:00:31,781 --> 00:00:32,739
Naomi!
7
00:00:32,823 --> 00:00:34,950
Let's say you have a client
who you know is guilty...
8
00:00:35,034 --> 00:00:36,535
No, don't even start with that.
9
00:00:36,619 --> 00:00:39,246
Our justice system doesn't care
about that, and neither do I.
10
00:00:39,330 --> 00:00:42,040
Every defendant, no matter who he is,
regardless of what he's done,
11
00:00:42,124 --> 00:00:45,085
has the right to the best defense
his attorney can provide. Period.
12
00:00:45,169 --> 00:00:47,547
- So where were you with the truth?
- Truth?
13
00:00:49,674 --> 00:00:52,217
- How do you mean? Naomi!
- Coming.
14
00:00:52,301 --> 00:00:55,220
I'm not sure how many ways
there are to mean it.
15
00:00:55,304 --> 00:00:56,430
You think there's only one?
16
00:00:56,514 --> 00:00:57,931
- I can't do this.
- You're late.
17
00:00:58,015 --> 00:00:59,808
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Okay.
18
00:00:59,892 --> 00:01:01,685
Actually, you're right, you know.
19
00:01:01,769 --> 00:01:03,770
- There is only one that matters.
- Marty, hold still, please.
20
00:01:03,854 --> 00:01:04,980
My version of it,
21
00:01:05,064 --> 00:01:08,650
the one I create in the minds of those
12 men and women sitting on a jury.
22
00:01:08,734 --> 00:01:10,819
Now, if you want to,
you can call it something else.
23
00:01:10,903 --> 00:01:14,948
The... The illusion of truth, if you want.
It's up to you.
24
00:01:15,032 --> 00:01:17,285
- Good. Yeah.
- Yeah?
25
00:01:19,161 --> 00:01:20,871
Jack, is that it?
You need some more stuff?
26
00:01:20,955 --> 00:01:22,289
- Yeah.
- Tomorrow afternoon?
27
00:01:22,373 --> 00:01:25,834
- Yeah.
- All right, I'll have my secretary set it up.
28
00:01:25,918 --> 00:01:27,044
Okay.
29
00:01:32,133 --> 00:01:34,218
- This is a cover story, right?
- Yeah.
30
00:01:34,302 --> 00:01:35,928
Yeah. Okay, bye.
31
00:03:40,511 --> 00:03:43,263
Saint Michael's Boys Choir.
Thank you. Thank you.
32
00:03:43,347 --> 00:03:45,390
- What a talented group.
- Tell you after.
33
00:03:45,474 --> 00:03:47,017
- Sure.
- Right now, ladies and gentlemen,
34
00:03:47,101 --> 00:03:48,810
we're gonna have a brief photo session
35
00:03:48,894 --> 00:03:51,396
while we have the boys here
with His Excellency.
36
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,981
I'll be back in a few minutes.
37
00:03:53,065 --> 00:03:56,193
Please bear with us,
enjoy your dessert and thank you.
38
00:03:56,277 --> 00:03:58,487
- Yes.
- Here we go. Okay.
39
00:04:02,283 --> 00:04:03,951
Good, good.
40
00:04:07,663 --> 00:04:09,247
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
41
00:04:09,331 --> 00:04:10,374
Thank you.
42
00:04:21,719 --> 00:04:24,763
Thanks.
Marty. What an unexpected surprise.
43
00:04:24,847 --> 00:04:27,641
Well, I'm here to help
our friendly prosecutor off the hook.
44
00:04:27,725 --> 00:04:30,186
- Excuse me.
- What's it gonna cost?
45
00:04:30,853 --> 00:04:35,441
- A lot less than the alternative.
- Tomorrow at my office, 9:30.
46
00:04:38,402 --> 00:04:41,196
- Is this on? Yes, it is.
- Your Excellency. Nice to see you again.
47
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:44,408
Ladies and gentlemen, we have come
to the heart of the matter,
48
00:04:44,492 --> 00:04:46,993
the reason we've all
gathered together here tonight.
49
00:04:47,077 --> 00:04:49,955
This is the fifth straight year
that it's been my privilege
50
00:04:50,039 --> 00:04:51,957
to serve as your master of ceremonies
51
00:04:52,041 --> 00:04:54,751
for The Chicago Bar Association
and Catholic Charities Ball.
52
00:04:54,835 --> 00:04:57,212
I'm afraid
you're gonna have to put that out.
53
00:04:57,296 --> 00:04:59,548
It's a bar, for Christ's sake.
54
00:04:59,799 --> 00:05:03,260
Tonight, due to your generous efforts,
55
00:05:03,344 --> 00:05:06,304
we've broken last year's record
in terms of attendees and the amount
56
00:05:06,388 --> 00:05:08,306
- of money raised for the Archbishop's...
- I thought you quit.
57
00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:09,808
- ...charity, and I think that deserves...
- I cut down.
58
00:05:09,892 --> 00:05:11,393
...a big round of applause.
59
00:05:12,269 --> 00:05:17,066
- You look beautiful. Cut your hair?
- Yeah. A few months ago.
60
00:05:17,233 --> 00:05:19,818
And now, as it has been my pleasure
for the last four years...
61
00:05:19,902 --> 00:05:23,697
- Want to dance?
- There isn't any music.
62
00:05:24,573 --> 00:05:25,866
Sure there is.
63
00:05:25,950 --> 00:05:30,079
...longtime State's Attorney,
God love him, Mr. John Shaughnessy.
64
00:05:39,088 --> 00:05:40,338
Thank you very much,
ladies and gentlemen,
65
00:05:40,422 --> 00:05:42,340
- and my personal thanks...
- Come on.
66
00:05:42,424 --> 00:05:44,176
All you have to do is turn around.
67
00:05:44,260 --> 00:05:46,344
I thought you liked it better like this.
68
00:05:46,428 --> 00:05:49,181
That way you don't have to look
at the person.
69
00:05:49,265 --> 00:05:50,432
Mean.
70
00:05:50,599 --> 00:05:52,601
Considering the hour, I'll try to keep...
71
00:05:52,685 --> 00:05:54,103
Look at me.
72
00:05:54,395 --> 00:05:56,521
First of all, I want to thank all of you
for coming out tonight
73
00:05:56,605 --> 00:05:58,356
to support the Archbishop...
74
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,110
Come on, let's go find a bar
you can still smoke in.
75
00:06:02,194 --> 00:06:03,695
Thanks for the invite,
76
00:06:03,779 --> 00:06:07,282
but I don't like one-night stands
all that much.
77
00:06:07,366 --> 00:06:11,954
- We saw each other for months.
- It was a one-night stand, Marty.
78
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,124
It just lasted six months.
79
00:06:24,425 --> 00:06:26,051
Thank you, John.
80
00:06:27,344 --> 00:06:28,970
Well, I must say
81
00:06:29,054 --> 00:06:32,390
I haven't seen this many lawyers
and politicians
82
00:06:32,474 --> 00:06:35,561
gathered together in one place
since confession this morning.
83
00:06:47,698 --> 00:06:49,866
There is no way
the People are gonna tolerate
84
00:06:49,950 --> 00:06:54,079
a monetary award to a cockroach
who deserves 20 to life.
85
00:06:54,163 --> 00:06:58,416
He may be your client,
but Joey Pinero is a hard-case felon.
86
00:06:58,500 --> 00:06:59,584
Dealing, racketeering,
87
00:06:59,668 --> 00:07:03,046
- money-laundering, attempted murder.
- Did you say "alleged," Yancy?
88
00:07:03,130 --> 00:07:05,423
I didn't hear you say...
Did you hear him say "alleged"?
89
00:07:05,507 --> 00:07:07,884
Mr. Pinero has never been
convicted of anything.
90
00:07:07,968 --> 00:07:09,970
Cops jumped him,
left him bleeding in the snow.
91
00:07:10,054 --> 00:07:11,805
It's a miracle he survived.
92
00:07:11,889 --> 00:07:15,142
Having said that,
I'm not opposed to a settlement.
93
00:07:17,186 --> 00:07:20,105
1.5 million, and Pinero leaves the state.
94
00:07:25,611 --> 00:07:28,196
You can't limit a citizen's right to live
wherever he wants to.
95
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,739
Legally, that's unenforceable.
96
00:07:29,823 --> 00:07:32,909
Whether or not it's enforceable
or just a gentlemen's agreement,
97
00:07:32,993 --> 00:07:35,454
Mr. Pinero will know what we want.
98
00:07:38,540 --> 00:07:40,083
Get the answer you're looking for.
99
00:07:40,167 --> 00:07:42,794
Don't sit around and chat.
It's been a pleasure.
100
00:07:42,878 --> 00:07:45,088
You're worse than the fucking thugs
you represent.
101
00:07:45,172 --> 00:07:46,715
That's enough, Bud. It's over.
102
00:07:46,799 --> 00:07:50,010
- Obviously, I've got to run this by him.
- You're on 40% commission, Marty.
103
00:07:50,094 --> 00:07:53,889
I have nothing but confidence
your recommendation will prevail.
104
00:07:53,973 --> 00:07:55,599
Thank you, John.
105
00:08:50,612 --> 00:08:51,905
My hand!
106
00:08:54,783 --> 00:08:56,118
Oh, shit.
107
00:09:59,807 --> 00:10:01,099
- Hey.
- Mr. Vail.
108
00:10:01,183 --> 00:10:02,684
How you doing?
109
00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:18,325
Nice tune.
110
00:10:25,082 --> 00:10:27,500
So, what'd they say?
111
00:10:27,584 --> 00:10:32,297
Take it or leave it all for 1.5 million.
From Shaughnessy himself.
112
00:10:34,383 --> 00:10:36,051
What do you think?
113
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,346
I think we should take it,
114
00:10:40,430 --> 00:10:41,973
unless you want to spend
the next two years of your life
115
00:10:42,057 --> 00:10:43,224
tied up in appellate court.
116
00:10:43,308 --> 00:10:45,727
- No, fuck that. Close it.
- Done.
117
00:10:49,398 --> 00:10:50,566
Okay.
118
00:10:58,574 --> 00:10:59,908
Your shot.
119
00:11:01,326 --> 00:11:03,787
There's one more little thing.
120
00:11:05,581 --> 00:11:08,792
They want you...
They want you to leave the state.
121
00:11:09,251 --> 00:11:12,421
- They want you to disappear.
- Disappear?
122
00:11:14,214 --> 00:11:18,760
- That's good. Same bullshit, right?
- What? What are you talking about?
123
00:11:21,763 --> 00:11:24,849
I keep getting these offers
from these guys, Marty.
124
00:11:24,933 --> 00:11:26,601
What offers?
125
00:11:26,685 --> 00:11:29,771
Well, a couple of months ago,
a cop walks in here.
126
00:11:29,855 --> 00:11:34,067
He says,
"You testify against Alderman Martinez,
127
00:11:34,151 --> 00:11:36,569
"and we'll owe you, Joey.
128
00:11:36,653 --> 00:11:39,155
"Say he did you favors,
say he's on your payroll,"
129
00:11:39,239 --> 00:11:42,117
shit like that, right?
So I tell him to go fuck himself.
130
00:11:42,201 --> 00:11:44,828
Why? Because Martinez is a good man.
131
00:11:44,912 --> 00:11:46,121
He's the only one holding out
132
00:11:46,205 --> 00:11:49,749
while the others try to turn South River
into high-rent condos.
133
00:11:49,833 --> 00:11:53,128
- Why didn't you tell me this before?
- Why?
134
00:11:53,212 --> 00:11:55,380
'Cause this shit happens every day.
135
00:11:55,464 --> 00:11:57,674
I didn't think it had anything
to do with this.
136
00:11:57,758 --> 00:11:58,800
- You don't?
- Hey.
137
00:11:58,884 --> 00:12:00,301
I've spent a lot of money in this place.
138
00:12:00,385 --> 00:12:02,720
- They've spent a lot more, a lot more.
- I built a clinic here.
139
00:12:02,804 --> 00:12:05,598
- These people depend on me.
- I don't give a shit.
140
00:12:05,682 --> 00:12:08,143
Send them checks from California.
141
00:12:17,236 --> 00:12:20,989
I respect your advice, Marty,
but I can't take it.
142
00:12:21,073 --> 00:12:22,740
I'll take the money,
but I ain't going anywhere.
143
00:12:22,824 --> 00:12:25,577
- This is my home.
- I don't like it, Joey.
144
00:12:27,287 --> 00:12:31,166
- So what are they gonna do, kill me?
- They tried once.
145
00:12:32,709 --> 00:12:35,837
How are they going to kill a man
who never sleeps?
146
00:12:35,921 --> 00:12:37,589
- Get the money.
- You're too much.
147
00:12:37,673 --> 00:12:39,924
- Hey.
- Yeah.
148
00:12:40,008 --> 00:12:42,219
That song you like? Fourth cut.
149
00:12:44,054 --> 00:12:46,223
- Very nice, thank you.
- Yeah.
150
00:13:04,366 --> 00:13:06,951
Christ, we got enough fucking cops here?
151
00:13:07,035 --> 00:13:09,370
No doubt, the police are gonna have
their hands full with this one.
152
00:13:09,454 --> 00:13:11,122
Captain Stenner,
can you tell us anything right now?
153
00:13:11,206 --> 00:13:13,291
I don't know anything. I just got here.
154
00:13:13,375 --> 00:13:15,752
Captain Stenner,
can you tell us what's going on?
155
00:13:15,836 --> 00:13:17,003
Andy, I haven't seen anything yet.
156
00:13:17,087 --> 00:13:19,130
As soon as I go inside,
I'll come out and tell you, okay?
157
00:13:19,214 --> 00:13:20,590
All right.
158
00:13:40,027 --> 00:13:43,196
You should be home in bed, Abel.
It's going around.
159
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,407
I'll consider that, Harvey.
160
00:13:49,369 --> 00:13:52,080
- Christ.
- What a mess, huh?
161
00:14:11,933 --> 00:14:15,395
Sam, you got all you need?
Okay, gently roll him over.
162
00:14:27,115 --> 00:14:28,617
Police! Stop!
163
00:14:29,701 --> 00:14:32,245
Right thumb and forefinger severed.
164
00:14:32,329 --> 00:14:38,794
Symbol "B32.156"
is carved into the chest.
165
00:14:45,384 --> 00:14:49,638
- Body temperature, still warm.
- Captain, we got a live one on the run.
166
00:15:12,494 --> 00:15:15,413
You can see now, a passing train
has separated the fleeing suspect...
167
00:15:15,497 --> 00:15:17,749
You want to know what I hate?
I'll tell you what I hate.
168
00:15:17,833 --> 00:15:19,000
I hate when they go on and on
169
00:15:19,084 --> 00:15:21,169
about what big fucking whores
the defense attorneys are.
170
00:15:21,253 --> 00:15:22,879
...the suspect is headed into the train...
171
00:15:22,963 --> 00:15:25,423
We're the bad guys. You know why?
172
00:15:25,507 --> 00:15:26,841
'Cause we're always sitting
next to some creep,
173
00:15:26,925 --> 00:15:28,593
we start to look creepy, you know?
174
00:15:28,677 --> 00:15:29,802
Plus, they assume they're guilty.
175
00:15:29,886 --> 00:15:32,388
You know, they assume they did it,
and, like, we know or something.
176
00:15:32,472 --> 00:15:35,433
You don't know.
You don't ask. You don't care.
177
00:15:35,517 --> 00:15:37,310
You do the goddamn job.
178
00:15:37,394 --> 00:15:39,437
It's not like they're your friends,
for Christ's sake.
179
00:15:39,521 --> 00:15:41,522
...there's no telling
where the suspect may have gone...
180
00:15:41,606 --> 00:15:44,151
Well, some are your friends, but...
181
00:15:54,870 --> 00:15:57,320
So, why'd you leave
the State's Attorney's Office?
182
00:15:57,706 --> 00:15:59,207
Dead-end job.
183
00:16:00,917 --> 00:16:04,880
You either... You either run for office,
or you end up a judge.
184
00:16:06,047 --> 00:16:07,799
Why become an umpire
when you can play ball?
185
00:16:07,883 --> 00:16:10,843
...continue to pour into the area
around Saint Michael's
186
00:16:10,927 --> 00:16:12,596
and the Archbishop's mansion.
187
00:16:30,739 --> 00:16:32,866
Over here! He's over here!
188
00:16:38,371 --> 00:16:40,581
We will, of course,
stay with this shocking story
189
00:16:40,665 --> 00:16:43,167
as it continues to unfold
throughout the day.
190
00:16:43,251 --> 00:16:44,710
Now, what we do know right now
191
00:16:44,794 --> 00:16:48,005
is that at approximately 11:08
this morning, this...
192
00:16:48,089 --> 00:16:50,634
So, when did you know you had them?
193
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,428
Now, at this hour, the scene
at Saint Michael's is crowded...
194
00:16:53,512 --> 00:16:55,054
- What? Sorry.
- Was there a moment
195
00:16:55,138 --> 00:16:57,306
during the Pinero trial
when you said to yourself,
196
00:16:57,390 --> 00:16:59,017
"I've got them"?
197
00:17:00,477 --> 00:17:02,687
The day I took the case. Excuse me.
198
00:17:02,771 --> 00:17:04,063
...the shocking murder this morning
199
00:17:04,147 --> 00:17:06,607
of one of Chicago's most beloved figures,
200
00:17:06,691 --> 00:17:10,027
Archbishop Richard Rushman,
has left the city just numb.
201
00:17:10,111 --> 00:17:12,697
Okay, I understand we have Andy live.
Let's go to Andy.
202
00:17:12,781 --> 00:17:13,948
Diann, we have just learned
203
00:17:14,032 --> 00:17:16,701
that Chicago police have arrested
a 19-year-old man
204
00:17:16,785 --> 00:17:19,537
tentatively identified as Aaron Stampler.
205
00:17:19,621 --> 00:17:21,122
Now, according to Captain Abel Stenner...
206
00:17:21,206 --> 00:17:24,083
We're gonna have to reschedule.
Call my office, okay? I'm sorry.
207
00:17:24,167 --> 00:17:27,217
...underneath McCormick Place
just minutes after the murder...
208
00:17:28,964 --> 00:17:32,508
...through cold-blooded savagery, a
beacon of hope has been taken from us.
209
00:17:32,592 --> 00:17:34,051
Law offices of Martin Vail.
210
00:17:34,135 --> 00:17:36,345
- You got the news on, by any chance?
- Yeah, we're watching it.
211
00:17:36,429 --> 00:17:39,098
All right, I want you to call Sullivan
in Judge Trotter's office.
212
00:17:39,182 --> 00:17:40,683
Find out where they took him,
and call me right back.
213
00:17:40,767 --> 00:17:41,810
I'm at The Alibi.
214
00:17:41,977 --> 00:17:44,327
- A lot of guys are gonna want this one.
- Okay.
215
00:17:44,938 --> 00:17:46,564
The police have taken the first steps,
216
00:17:46,648 --> 00:17:49,198
acting with speed and determination
with the arrest.
217
00:18:10,213 --> 00:18:11,714
Are you taking the Stampler case?
218
00:18:11,798 --> 00:18:14,348
Andy, I'm sorry.
I can't talk to you about anything.
219
00:18:15,343 --> 00:18:16,469
Thank you very much.
220
00:18:17,554 --> 00:18:19,306
When are you gonna talk?
221
00:18:20,974 --> 00:18:23,434
- State's Attorney left yet?
- Yeah. Yancy, no less.
222
00:18:23,518 --> 00:18:26,313
- Yeah? P.D.?
- Come and gone. Lockup!
223
00:18:27,647 --> 00:18:30,525
- Give my best to your brother.
- Yeah, sure.
224
00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:34,654
I'd like to see him alone, if I could.
225
00:18:34,738 --> 00:18:36,197
All right,
but I'm gonna have to lock you in.
226
00:18:36,281 --> 00:18:37,699
Understood.
227
00:19:05,935 --> 00:19:07,646
You know who I am?
228
00:19:08,605 --> 00:19:12,067
Well, no. No, sir. No, I don't.
229
00:19:13,068 --> 00:19:17,572
My name is Martin Vail.
I'm what you call a big-shot attorney.
230
00:19:18,448 --> 00:19:21,534
I don't... I don't have no money.
231
00:19:21,618 --> 00:19:23,119
No, I didn't think you did.
232
00:19:23,203 --> 00:19:25,830
I'm willing to take your case pro bono,
233
00:19:25,914 --> 00:19:29,834
which means you get all of my expertise
and hard work for free.
234
00:19:31,252 --> 00:19:32,336
Or, if you want to,
235
00:19:32,420 --> 00:19:36,173
you could get the $40,000-a-year,
court-appointed public defender,
236
00:19:36,257 --> 00:19:38,467
who will almost certainly
escort you personally to death row.
237
00:19:38,551 --> 00:19:40,344
Your choice.
238
00:19:40,428 --> 00:19:42,597
No. No, sir. I...
239
00:19:43,932 --> 00:19:46,350
I'd surely be grateful
for anything you could do for me.
240
00:19:46,434 --> 00:19:51,314
You're welcome.
Now, your full name is?
241
00:19:52,190 --> 00:19:57,445
My... Aaron Luke Stampler.
242
00:19:59,781 --> 00:20:01,074
Stampler.
243
00:20:01,533 --> 00:20:05,662
- You from Kentucky, Aaron?
- Yes, sir. I'm from Creekside.
244
00:20:06,830 --> 00:20:08,790
Does it say that there?
245
00:20:11,668 --> 00:20:14,295
How long you been here in Chicago?
246
00:20:14,671 --> 00:20:18,967
Well, two years next month, I think.
247
00:20:19,843 --> 00:20:22,721
- Have you ever been arrested?
- No. No, sir.
248
00:20:26,975 --> 00:20:29,519
So how do you know the Archbishop?
249
00:20:32,814 --> 00:20:37,068
I was begging on the street
up on Wacker Drive...
250
00:20:39,487 --> 00:20:42,657
Bishop Rushman came by in his Cadillac.
251
00:20:43,825 --> 00:20:46,828
He saw me, and he stopped.
252
00:20:48,163 --> 00:20:52,959
He took me into Savior House.
I work as an altar boy.
253
00:20:53,626 --> 00:20:55,670
I sing in his choir.
254
00:20:56,045 --> 00:20:58,673
How long were you there at Savior House?
255
00:20:59,174 --> 00:21:00,758
Year, year and a half.
256
00:21:00,842 --> 00:21:03,844
You're supposed to leave when you're 18,
257
00:21:03,928 --> 00:21:10,560
but Bishop Rushman let me stay on
way past my 19th birthday.
258
00:21:12,187 --> 00:21:14,022
That was nice of him.
259
00:21:17,192 --> 00:21:18,860
Yes. Yes, it was.
260
00:21:21,863 --> 00:21:25,324
Aaron, did you have any reason
to dislike the Archbishop?
261
00:21:25,408 --> 00:21:28,744
Dislike? No. No, sir.
262
00:21:28,828 --> 00:21:32,248
He was like a father to me.
263
00:21:32,332 --> 00:21:33,958
Yeah, but you...
264
00:21:35,877 --> 00:21:37,921
How do I say this? Were...
265
00:21:39,005 --> 00:21:41,841
Were you in the room
when he was murdered?
266
00:21:44,719 --> 00:21:46,721
How can you explain that?
267
00:21:48,014 --> 00:21:51,059
There was someone else
in that room, Mr. Vail.
268
00:21:53,311 --> 00:21:55,312
- There was a third person?
- Yes, sir.
269
00:21:55,396 --> 00:21:56,355
Did you tell the police this?
270
00:21:56,439 --> 00:21:59,984
Yes. Yes, I did,
but they didn't believe me.
271
00:22:00,068 --> 00:22:02,487
All right. Well, you tell me now.
272
00:22:03,905 --> 00:22:08,243
I was returning a book
to Bishop Rushman's library.
273
00:22:09,536 --> 00:22:13,748
I heard noise, so I went back into his...
In his bedroom.
274
00:22:17,252 --> 00:22:20,838
Bishop Rushman was laying on the floor.
275
00:22:20,922 --> 00:22:23,925
There was blood all over everything.
276
00:22:24,592 --> 00:22:31,307
And then I seen a shadow. I seen
a person leaning over Bishop Rushman.
277
00:22:33,685 --> 00:22:38,314
He looked up and then he came at me,
and that's when I lost time.
278
00:22:39,941 --> 00:22:42,402
What does that mean, "lost time"?
279
00:22:43,111 --> 00:22:46,364
I blacked out.
280
00:22:47,282 --> 00:22:49,951
It just... It happens to me sometimes.
281
00:22:51,703 --> 00:22:55,873
I just... I have spells.
282
00:22:55,957 --> 00:22:59,085
I have spells. I lose time. I can't...
283
00:23:00,628 --> 00:23:02,672
I can't remember nothing.
284
00:23:07,886 --> 00:23:12,307
Why did you run from the police, Aaron,
if you didn't do anything wrong?
285
00:23:12,807 --> 00:23:14,099
Well, when...
286
00:23:14,183 --> 00:23:17,270
When I woke up, I was covered in blood.
287
00:23:18,813 --> 00:23:24,443
I didn't know what to do.
I got scared. I heard sirens, so I ran.
288
00:23:24,527 --> 00:23:28,072
Look, I know how it looks, Mr. Vail,
but I swear...
289
00:23:28,156 --> 00:23:30,074
Yeah, I don't need you
to try to convince me, Aaron.
290
00:23:30,158 --> 00:23:31,742
I just want you to answer my questions.
291
00:23:31,826 --> 00:23:34,370
But I didn't do this.
You've got to believe me.
292
00:23:34,454 --> 00:23:37,039
No, I don't have to believe you.
I don't care.
293
00:23:37,123 --> 00:23:38,165
I'm your attorney,
294
00:23:38,249 --> 00:23:43,796
which means I am your mother,
your father, best friend and your priest.
295
00:23:45,340 --> 00:23:48,008
In other words, I don't want you talking
to anyone but me from now on.
296
00:23:48,092 --> 00:23:50,970
Not the cops, not the press,
not the other guys in the cells here,
297
00:23:51,054 --> 00:23:54,807
nobody without my permission,
you understand? Yeah?
298
00:23:56,017 --> 00:23:58,478
- Yes. Yes, I do.
- All right.
299
00:23:59,354 --> 00:24:02,440
Now the important stuff.
What's your suit size?
300
00:24:04,025 --> 00:24:07,362
- My what?
- Suit size. What, you're about a 38?
301
00:24:12,241 --> 00:24:14,285
I don't know.
302
00:24:14,369 --> 00:24:17,747
- About a 38 long.
- Okay.
303
00:24:18,581 --> 00:24:19,957
Stampler was flushed by the police
304
00:24:20,041 --> 00:24:22,668
from his hiding place in the bushes
behind the cathedral.
305
00:24:22,752 --> 00:24:25,588
The police chased him through the train
yard, just north of McCormick Place,
306
00:24:25,672 --> 00:24:28,424
almost losing him
as he scrambled over tracks
307
00:24:28,508 --> 00:24:31,510
before an oncoming train,
separating him from the police.
308
00:24:31,594 --> 00:24:32,595
In a later development,
309
00:24:32,679 --> 00:24:35,097
prominent local
criminal defense attorney Martin Vail
310
00:24:35,181 --> 00:24:38,100
is believed to have visited Stampler
at the Maxwell Street Precinct...
311
00:24:38,184 --> 00:24:42,104
After a brief chase across the rail yard
behind Saint Michael's Cathedral,
312
00:24:42,188 --> 00:24:45,316
Stampler was apprehended in a hole
beneath train tracks.
313
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,904
- Are you gonna defend this man?
- Andy, I'm sorry. I can't...
314
00:24:49,988 --> 00:24:51,538
Thank you very much. Thank you.
315
00:24:53,408 --> 00:24:55,743
We've taken the first step
in the process.
316
00:24:55,827 --> 00:24:58,037
I can now take your questions.
317
00:24:58,121 --> 00:25:00,623
Can you tell us anything
about the altar-boy group
318
00:25:00,707 --> 00:25:03,417
- that Aaron Stampler was part of?
- Not much at this time.
319
00:25:03,501 --> 00:25:06,503
Have you ruled out the involvement
of any of the other altar boys?
320
00:25:06,587 --> 00:25:09,256
We have no reason to suspect anyone
other than Stampler.
321
00:25:09,340 --> 00:25:11,383
He had access
to the Archbishop's quarters.
322
00:25:11,467 --> 00:25:13,552
He was caught fleeing the area
of Saint Michael's.
323
00:25:13,636 --> 00:25:15,638
The blood-soaked Aaron Stampler
was chased
324
00:25:15,722 --> 00:25:16,972
down under McCormick Place,
325
00:25:17,056 --> 00:25:19,350
but not before he was almost killed
by a passing train.
326
00:25:19,434 --> 00:25:21,519
Law office of Martin Vail.
327
00:25:22,270 --> 00:25:24,104
He's gonna call you
as soon as he gets in.
328
00:25:24,188 --> 00:25:26,357
I know. I promise you.
Okay, thank you very much.
329
00:25:26,441 --> 00:25:27,900
- Naomi!
- Yeah.
330
00:25:27,984 --> 00:25:29,068
- Talk to you later. Bye.
- Hey.
331
00:25:29,152 --> 00:25:30,945
Sorry I'm late. We have a new client.
332
00:25:31,029 --> 00:25:34,031
- I was afraid you were gonna say that.
- Who?
333
00:25:34,115 --> 00:25:36,367
You know what
they're calling him already?
334
00:25:36,451 --> 00:25:38,953
- The Butcher Boy of Saint Mike's.
- I like that.
335
00:25:39,037 --> 00:25:40,579
Well, that's good.
You're gonna be hearing it a lot.
336
00:25:40,663 --> 00:25:42,748
This kid who chopped up
the Archbishop, he's our new client?
337
00:25:42,832 --> 00:25:44,208
Tommy, you're gonna have to try harder
338
00:25:44,292 --> 00:25:46,460
to get the word "allegedly"
into your vocabulary,
339
00:25:46,544 --> 00:25:48,128
- especially if you want to be a lawyer.
- Here you go.
340
00:25:48,212 --> 00:25:49,964
- Tommy, you want coffee?
- No. No, thanks.
341
00:25:50,048 --> 00:25:53,217
All right. He admits he was in the room
when the killing occurred,
342
00:25:53,301 --> 00:25:55,151
but he didn't actually see it happen.
343
00:25:55,261 --> 00:25:56,512
- Can I stop you right there?
- No.
344
00:25:56,596 --> 00:25:58,889
He was returning a book
to the Archbishop.
345
00:25:58,973 --> 00:26:01,892
He heard loud noises in the bedroom.
346
00:26:01,976 --> 00:26:04,395
He went in. He sees a figure,
347
00:26:04,479 --> 00:26:08,482
someone in the shadows
kneeling over the body. He blacks out.
348
00:26:08,566 --> 00:26:09,775
Next thing he knows,
349
00:26:09,859 --> 00:26:11,944
sirens are screaming,
he's covered in blood.
350
00:26:12,028 --> 00:26:14,113
The cops find him in a train tunnel.
351
00:26:14,197 --> 00:26:16,490
He's got the Archbishop's ring
in his pocket.
352
00:26:16,574 --> 00:26:17,866
He stole the Archbishop's ring?
353
00:26:17,950 --> 00:26:21,079
I didn't say that.
I said it was in his pocket.
354
00:26:24,624 --> 00:26:26,000
Is that it?
355
00:26:28,836 --> 00:26:29,921
Yep.
356
00:26:31,964 --> 00:26:35,634
That's... That's bullshit, Marty.
357
00:26:35,718 --> 00:26:38,595
That's the worst bullshit story
I've ever heard in my entire life.
358
00:26:38,679 --> 00:26:42,642
Now it's our bullshit story.
Okay, let's get to work.
359
00:26:43,768 --> 00:26:45,936
Now, the name of the game here is motive,
360
00:26:46,020 --> 00:26:47,938
as in, the prosecution doesn't have one.
361
00:26:48,022 --> 00:26:49,440
So what we have to do here
362
00:26:49,524 --> 00:26:52,568
is prove that someone else
could have committed the crime.
363
00:26:52,652 --> 00:26:54,570
Then we can establish reasonable doubt.
364
00:26:54,654 --> 00:26:57,448
So I want to know everything I can
about this guy, everything he was into.
365
00:26:57,532 --> 00:27:01,744
We go to database,
go to Hall of Records, IRS files.
366
00:27:01,828 --> 00:27:04,121
- Even his so-called charities.
- So-called?
367
00:27:04,205 --> 00:27:06,874
The guy was a priest, for Christ's sake.
368
00:27:07,375 --> 00:27:12,421
Naomi, write this down. B-32.156.
369
00:27:12,505 --> 00:27:14,256
That was carved
into the Archbishop's chest.
370
00:27:14,340 --> 00:27:16,008
- Allegedly.
- No.
371
00:27:16,092 --> 00:27:18,802
That was a fact,
but I appreciate the effort, Tommy.
372
00:27:18,886 --> 00:27:20,304
Thanks.
373
00:27:20,388 --> 00:27:22,639
I also need case histories
on murder by stabbing,
374
00:27:22,723 --> 00:27:25,601
murder by mutilation, murder by religion.
375
00:27:25,685 --> 00:27:28,479
- Also, I'm gonna need a psychiatrist.
- You're telling me.
376
00:27:28,563 --> 00:27:30,731
And not the kind
that lives in a witness box, either.
377
00:27:30,815 --> 00:27:32,316
I need a real one this time,
378
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:33,859
and someone who knows about amnesia.
379
00:27:33,943 --> 00:27:37,738
- What does he look like in person?
- The Butcher Boy?
380
00:27:40,533 --> 00:27:42,326
Like a Boy Scout.
381
00:27:42,410 --> 00:27:46,414
A Boy Scout
with a merit badge in carving.
382
00:27:47,707 --> 00:27:50,876
The Archbishop was a close
personal friend of Mr. Shaughnessy.
383
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,629
He came to me earlier this morning
and asked me who was my best man,
384
00:27:53,713 --> 00:27:55,923
- I said you.
- Thank you.
385
00:27:57,425 --> 00:27:59,718
I trust, Mr. Shaughnessy,
if I am to prosecute this case,
386
00:27:59,802 --> 00:28:03,097
I'll be given the authority
which comes with the assignment.
387
00:28:03,181 --> 00:28:07,684
You're the one trying the case, but
let's establish one thing at the outset.
388
00:28:07,768 --> 00:28:09,770
I want the death penalty.
389
00:28:11,022 --> 00:28:12,773
I'd like an opportunity
to go over the case
390
00:28:12,857 --> 00:28:14,108
before we make a determination
391
00:28:14,192 --> 00:28:15,692
on whether or not
to seek the death penalty.
392
00:28:15,776 --> 00:28:17,528
I'm open to anything
you have to say, Janet,
393
00:28:17,612 --> 00:28:20,114
but in my mind there's no debate.
394
00:28:21,866 --> 00:28:24,701
Did he say anything,
the boy they picked up?
395
00:28:24,785 --> 00:28:26,662
Yeah. He didn't do it.
396
00:28:27,538 --> 00:28:29,540
It's a slam dunk, Janet.
397
00:28:30,374 --> 00:28:32,793
Excuse me.
I appreciate your faith in me,
398
00:28:32,877 --> 00:28:34,211
and I don't mean to be argumentative...
399
00:28:34,295 --> 00:28:35,838
Hey, that's what we pay you for.
400
00:28:35,922 --> 00:28:38,841
...but if it's as open and shut
as you say it is, then you don't need me.
401
00:28:38,925 --> 00:28:43,554
The P.D. will plead no contest,
throw the kid on the mercy of the court.
402
00:28:43,638 --> 00:28:50,061
- There's not a public defender.
- He's got a lawyer already? Who?
403
00:28:54,190 --> 00:28:58,027
Hey, I'm Martin Vail.
I'm defending Aaron Stampler.
404
00:28:59,153 --> 00:29:03,407
- I need to inspect the murder site.
- The Butcher Boy?
405
00:29:03,491 --> 00:29:06,244
Thank you. Yes. I forgot his real name.
406
00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:15,336
What's the matter, Marty,
lost your faith?
407
00:29:16,379 --> 00:29:17,880
Looking for a little religion?
408
00:29:17,964 --> 00:29:19,089
Now tell me, Counselor,
409
00:29:19,173 --> 00:29:22,259
which one of us
is the true headline-chaser here?
410
00:29:22,343 --> 00:29:26,180
- Unlike you, I was assigned to this case.
- Yeah? Think you're up to it?
411
00:29:26,264 --> 00:29:29,433
Sell the book rights yet,
or are you gonna wait a while?
412
00:29:29,517 --> 00:29:31,560
Want to see some pictures?
413
00:29:34,188 --> 00:29:36,482
Come on. They're kind of cute.
414
00:29:41,070 --> 00:29:45,449
I think you'll agree they clearly show
the heinous nature of the crime.
415
00:29:49,203 --> 00:29:51,079
A small piece of advice,
416
00:29:51,163 --> 00:29:53,582
don't use the word "heinous"
in a courtroom.
417
00:29:53,666 --> 00:29:55,751
Half the jury won't know
what you're talking about.
418
00:29:55,835 --> 00:29:57,336
One small piece of advice,
419
00:29:57,420 --> 00:29:59,796
I'm not sitting second chair
to you anymore.
420
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,675
In case you hadn't noticed, I graduated.
421
00:30:06,595 --> 00:30:10,307
- I had no reason to leave.
- You had every reason to leave.
422
00:30:10,391 --> 00:30:11,475
How can you still work for them?
423
00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:15,103
What? You really expect me
to trot out after you, Marty?
424
00:30:15,187 --> 00:30:20,150
Quit, just because you did?
I don't need a Mercedes.
425
00:30:20,234 --> 00:30:23,404
I don't need to see my face
on the evening news.
426
00:30:28,617 --> 00:30:31,287
You knew I was coming here, didn't you?
427
00:30:31,746 --> 00:30:34,289
You knew I would defend him.
That's why you took the case.
428
00:30:34,373 --> 00:30:35,582
You asked Shaughnessy for this,
didn't you?
429
00:30:35,666 --> 00:30:37,418
Oh, please.
430
00:30:39,170 --> 00:30:41,922
What's the matter, Marty, you nervous?
431
00:30:42,882 --> 00:30:46,761
Been a while since you rubbed up
against a woman with a brain?
432
00:30:49,263 --> 00:30:52,516
What is the matter? You tired?
You haven't been sleeping well?
433
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,810
You're the one
with the score to settle, Marty.
434
00:30:54,894 --> 00:30:56,812
I sleep great at night.
435
00:31:35,017 --> 00:31:36,811
- Hi.
- Hey.
436
00:32:04,130 --> 00:32:05,339
Thanks.
437
00:32:07,049 --> 00:32:10,636
- Hey. Where is he?
- Over here.
438
00:32:30,030 --> 00:32:31,782
All right,
we'll be sitting at a table together,
439
00:32:31,866 --> 00:32:34,242
along with two of my associates.
Now, once the charges are read,
440
00:32:34,326 --> 00:32:36,953
the judge is gonna ask you how you plead.
441
00:32:37,037 --> 00:32:39,331
- Not guilty.
- No.
442
00:32:39,415 --> 00:32:42,209
- But I'm not guilty, Mr. Vail.
- I don't care. It doesn't matter.
443
00:32:42,293 --> 00:32:44,169
You can keep your mouth shut.
You don't say anything.
444
00:32:44,253 --> 00:32:46,838
Well, you're going to say I'm not guilty.
445
00:32:46,922 --> 00:32:48,715
I'll say whatever I say.
You don't have to worry about it.
446
00:32:48,799 --> 00:32:50,759
- But, Mr. Vail...
- This is exactly what I'm talking about.
447
00:32:50,843 --> 00:32:53,804
This can't go on in the courtroom,
so you might as well get used to it now.
448
00:32:53,888 --> 00:32:56,640
I speak. You do not speak.
449
00:32:56,724 --> 00:32:58,600
Your job is just to sit there
and look innocent.
450
00:32:58,684 --> 00:33:00,478
Well, I am innocent.
451
00:33:01,562 --> 00:33:03,563
That's it!
That's exactly how I want you to look.
452
00:33:03,647 --> 00:33:05,649
That's exactly it.
Now, can you remember that?
453
00:33:05,733 --> 00:33:07,776
Look in the mirror if you have to.
That's the look.
454
00:33:07,860 --> 00:33:10,987
I don't have to.
This is how I always look.
455
00:33:11,071 --> 00:33:14,991
Well, then you're way ahead
of the game already, aren't you?
456
00:33:15,075 --> 00:33:16,494
Don't smile.
457
00:33:19,079 --> 00:33:20,289
Don't.
458
00:33:29,215 --> 00:33:30,590
Mr. Vail, can we have a statement?
459
00:33:30,674 --> 00:33:32,092
No. We're gonna find out
what happened here.
460
00:33:32,176 --> 00:33:34,886
How can you defend Aaron Stampler
in the face of all this public pressure?
461
00:33:34,970 --> 00:33:36,263
The only pressure is to find the truth.
462
00:33:36,347 --> 00:33:37,681
...with the Archbishop's blood on him.
463
00:33:37,765 --> 00:33:40,225
You've been talking to the police again,
haven't you? I told you not to.
464
00:33:40,309 --> 00:33:41,643
As usual, they get everything wrong.
465
00:33:41,727 --> 00:33:42,769
Come on. How're you gonna explain
466
00:33:42,853 --> 00:33:44,438
the fact that
he had blood-soaked clothing on him?
467
00:33:44,522 --> 00:33:45,689
- We all saw that.
- At this juncture,
468
00:33:45,773 --> 00:33:46,857
I'm not going to explain it at all.
469
00:33:46,941 --> 00:33:48,942
I've only recently been retained
in this case.
470
00:33:49,026 --> 00:33:52,612
Significant facts are in dispute here
and continue to be in dispute.
471
00:33:52,696 --> 00:33:55,407
Marty, you're a master at putting
the victim on trial
472
00:33:55,491 --> 00:33:56,783
to help your own client.
473
00:33:56,867 --> 00:33:58,994
That's going to be very difficult
in this case.
474
00:33:59,078 --> 00:34:01,664
A victim in this case is my client.
475
00:34:02,039 --> 00:34:04,875
We have two victims here, no suspects.
Thank you very much.
476
00:34:04,959 --> 00:34:06,042
Are you worried about his safety, Marty?
477
00:34:06,126 --> 00:34:07,545
No. Thank you.
478
00:34:21,809 --> 00:34:23,059
It's not a case.
479
00:34:23,143 --> 00:34:25,943
I don't think there'll be any question
about the verdict.
480
00:34:32,444 --> 00:34:33,737
All rise.
481
00:34:35,072 --> 00:34:37,700
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
482
00:34:38,659 --> 00:34:42,704
- Bailiff?
- State v. Aaron Stampler.
483
00:34:42,788 --> 00:34:45,040
Is everyone here? Sit down.
Is everyone here?
484
00:34:45,124 --> 00:34:47,083
Yes, Your Honor.
485
00:34:47,167 --> 00:34:48,752
Madam Prosecutor?
486
00:34:48,836 --> 00:34:51,213
The State charges the prisoner,
Aaron Stampler,
487
00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:53,757
with the crime
of murder in the first degree.
488
00:34:53,841 --> 00:34:55,550
How does your client plead, Counselor?
489
00:34:55,634 --> 00:34:56,760
Your Honor, if it pleases the court,
490
00:34:56,844 --> 00:35:00,096
I need time to make
a complete psychiatric evaluation
491
00:35:00,180 --> 00:35:01,264
before any charges
are brought against us.
492
00:35:01,348 --> 00:35:04,017
State has more than enough evidence
to warrant the allegations, Your Honor.
493
00:35:04,101 --> 00:35:05,894
I agree. Motion denied.
494
00:35:05,978 --> 00:35:08,772
Mr. Stampler,
495
00:35:08,856 --> 00:35:10,774
do you understand the charges
brought against you?
496
00:35:10,858 --> 00:35:13,109
- Yes. Yes, I...
- Your Honor, I direct my client
497
00:35:13,193 --> 00:35:14,319
not to answer that question
498
00:35:14,403 --> 00:35:17,614
on the grounds that his response
may tend to incriminate him.
499
00:35:17,698 --> 00:35:18,782
The defendant is taking the Fifth
500
00:35:18,866 --> 00:35:20,617
on whether or not
he understands the charges?
501
00:35:20,701 --> 00:35:24,246
Yes, Your Honor. Until we have
a complete psychological evaluation,
502
00:35:24,330 --> 00:35:27,958
he will be taking the Fifth
on any and all questions posed to him.
503
00:35:28,042 --> 00:35:32,754
State v. Appleby for your review
of precedent.
504
00:35:32,838 --> 00:35:34,214
Thank you.
505
00:35:50,564 --> 00:35:53,025
No, no, I can't do that. No.
506
00:35:56,695 --> 00:35:58,154
What do you want?
507
00:35:58,238 --> 00:36:02,076
I'm looking for the room
a kid named Aaron Stampler stayed in.
508
00:36:03,952 --> 00:36:07,081
- You the police?
- I'm his uncle.
509
00:37:11,228 --> 00:37:13,897
- Thanks.
- Well, hey.
510
00:37:23,991 --> 00:37:26,910
- This is Alex's.
- Who's Alex?
511
00:37:26,994 --> 00:37:31,247
- He's one of the other altar boys.
- An altar boy?
512
00:37:31,331 --> 00:37:34,084
An altar boy was wearing this?
513
00:37:34,168 --> 00:37:36,420
Well, not at the mass.
514
00:37:38,172 --> 00:37:40,423
Well, this altar boy attacked
a colleague of mine.
515
00:37:40,507 --> 00:37:42,426
He hurt him pretty bad.
516
00:37:46,513 --> 00:37:48,515
What do you think he was doing there
in your room?
517
00:37:48,599 --> 00:37:50,184
- My room?
- Yeah.
518
00:37:52,853 --> 00:37:56,481
I can't... I don't know.
519
00:37:56,565 --> 00:37:59,734
- I mean, I don't have nothing.
- You know where I could find him?
520
00:37:59,818 --> 00:38:01,779
Who? Alex?
521
00:38:03,489 --> 00:38:06,867
- No, I don't... I don't know where he is.
- You don't?
522
00:38:07,868 --> 00:38:10,537
- Who's Linda?
- Linda?
523
00:38:21,715 --> 00:38:23,467
She your girlfriend?
524
00:38:25,052 --> 00:38:29,597
- Where is she? I'd like to talk to her.
- I don't know where she is.
525
00:38:29,681 --> 00:38:32,475
Why is it that I get this feeling
you're not telling me something, Aaron?
526
00:38:32,559 --> 00:38:35,562
- I'm telling you the truth.
- I don't think so.
527
00:38:35,646 --> 00:38:38,732
Are you surprised that Alex
attacked my friend?
528
00:38:39,942 --> 00:38:44,530
- No. No, I mean, he has a temper.
- Yeah. Yeah, I'd say so.
529
00:38:46,698 --> 00:38:49,868
Let me ask you this.
Do you think it could be Alex
530
00:38:49,952 --> 00:38:53,372
who was that figure you saw
at the Archbishop's room?
531
00:38:54,373 --> 00:38:58,752
- I... Alex? I couldn't be sure.
- But it could be him?
532
00:38:59,878 --> 00:39:00,962
I don't know.
533
00:39:01,046 --> 00:39:03,548
Aaron, you're not understanding this.
The State wants you dead.
534
00:39:03,632 --> 00:39:06,134
If you don't help me,
that's exactly what they're gonna get.
535
00:39:06,218 --> 00:39:07,302
I...
536
00:39:10,055 --> 00:39:12,933
I'm trying. I can't remember.
537
00:39:13,433 --> 00:39:16,686
I don't understand. Why would Alex
want to do such a thing?
538
00:39:16,770 --> 00:39:20,107
For his own reasons. He...
Maybe someone hired him.
539
00:39:22,025 --> 00:39:25,237
- Hired by who?
- I don't know. Forget it.
540
00:39:27,948 --> 00:39:31,159
What I need to know is,
do you think he's capable of doing it?
541
00:39:31,243 --> 00:39:33,245
I don't know. He...
542
00:39:34,997 --> 00:39:38,417
I don't know
who's capable of such a thing, Mr. Vail.
543
00:39:44,423 --> 00:39:46,133
- Thanks.
- Sure.
544
00:39:47,467 --> 00:39:49,552
So he claims there was someone else
in the room
545
00:39:49,636 --> 00:39:51,805
and that he can't remember.
546
00:39:53,223 --> 00:39:55,725
And you want me
to look into this amnesia question
547
00:39:55,809 --> 00:39:58,561
- and see what he actually knows.
- Yeah.
548
00:39:58,645 --> 00:40:00,980
What if he knows he did it?
549
00:40:01,064 --> 00:40:05,026
The major causes of amnesia
are substance abuse, seizures,
550
00:40:05,110 --> 00:40:07,446
head injuries and malingering.
551
00:40:10,324 --> 00:40:12,910
I think the kid's telling the truth.
552
00:40:14,703 --> 00:40:15,829
Okay.
553
00:40:16,830 --> 00:40:19,082
Then let's get something straight.
554
00:40:19,166 --> 00:40:21,584
I'm more than happy to go in
and analyze him.
555
00:40:21,668 --> 00:40:24,003
In fact, I'm looking forward to it.
556
00:40:24,087 --> 00:40:27,423
But I won't go in there
to validate his story, understood?
557
00:40:27,507 --> 00:40:31,177
- You do your job, I do mine.
- That's right.
558
00:40:31,261 --> 00:40:33,054
Listen, if I think it's necessary,
559
00:40:33,138 --> 00:40:36,808
I'd want to get an MRI, EEG,
and neuropsych testing, agreed?
560
00:40:36,892 --> 00:40:39,937
- Yes, Doctor. Good night, Doctor.
- Good night.
561
00:40:46,026 --> 00:40:48,361
I'll be recording our meetings
for Mr. Vail,
562
00:40:48,445 --> 00:40:51,614
so what we talk about
isn't as confidential the way it might be
563
00:40:51,698 --> 00:40:54,409
if you were to be consulting
with a doctor for help.
564
00:40:54,493 --> 00:40:55,869
He may even call me as a witness,
565
00:40:55,953 --> 00:40:58,121
so if you have any questions
about what I've just said,
566
00:40:58,205 --> 00:41:00,290
you should raise them now,
while he's still here.
567
00:41:00,374 --> 00:41:03,543
- No, ma'am. I understand.
- Good.
568
00:41:04,670 --> 00:41:08,047
- So, okay. I think we'll be fine.
- All right.
569
00:41:08,131 --> 00:41:11,050
- I'll see you later. All right.
- Okay.
570
00:41:11,134 --> 00:41:12,219
Bye.
571
00:41:20,185 --> 00:41:22,312
Mr. Vail told me
that there was a period of time
572
00:41:22,396 --> 00:41:25,440
surrounding the Archbishop's death
that you don't remember.
573
00:41:25,524 --> 00:41:29,820
- Is that right?
- Yeah. Yes. I lost the time.
574
00:41:31,279 --> 00:41:33,865
I mean, I blacked out.
575
00:41:35,075 --> 00:41:38,828
- Have you had these blackouts before?
- Yes. Yes, I have.
576
00:41:38,912 --> 00:41:42,165
When's the first time
you remember them happening?
577
00:41:44,918 --> 00:41:49,047
They started when I was about 12, maybe.
578
00:41:49,131 --> 00:41:51,841
Were your parents aware
of what was happening to you?
579
00:41:51,925 --> 00:41:56,555
No. My mother was dead.
580
00:41:58,056 --> 00:41:59,683
And your father?
581
00:42:02,436 --> 00:42:07,357
No. No. No. He was not a nice man.
582
00:42:07,441 --> 00:42:11,194
- Did you seek treatment?
- Did I what?
583
00:42:11,278 --> 00:42:13,822
Did you see a doctor for them?
584
00:42:16,366 --> 00:42:18,326
No. No.
585
00:42:18,410 --> 00:42:22,330
You don't go see a doctor in Creekside
unless your leg's broke.
586
00:42:31,173 --> 00:42:35,009
- Hey. Can I talk to you?
- Talk.
587
00:42:35,093 --> 00:42:39,889
- Excuse us. I'll bring her right back.
- How dare you. What am I?
588
00:42:39,973 --> 00:42:42,016
I'm some kind of chess piece
you can just move around?
589
00:42:42,100 --> 00:42:46,646
- I was in the middle of my lunch.
- When are we getting all the discovery?
590
00:42:46,730 --> 00:42:47,772
What do you want, Marty?
591
00:42:47,856 --> 00:42:49,357
I want to know
when we're getting all the discovery.
592
00:42:49,441 --> 00:42:52,402
- I've got motions to file.
- No, you don't.
593
00:42:52,486 --> 00:42:54,780
You're looking to make a deal.
594
00:42:56,323 --> 00:42:57,782
I have no authority to deal.
595
00:42:57,866 --> 00:43:00,576
I haven't discussed this with my client.
What's your excuse?
596
00:43:00,660 --> 00:43:02,704
Well, if I thought we needed
to make a deal,
597
00:43:02,788 --> 00:43:04,205
I have all the authority I want.
598
00:43:04,289 --> 00:43:07,375
Bullshit! Shaughnessy wants
the whole shot on this,
599
00:43:07,459 --> 00:43:09,377
and he's using you to get it.
600
00:43:09,461 --> 00:43:11,129
Anybody in your position
would deal this down
601
00:43:11,213 --> 00:43:12,338
to murder with no death penalty.
602
00:43:12,422 --> 00:43:16,676
My position?
We have a fucking great case.
603
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,553
Great case?
604
00:43:18,637 --> 00:43:22,432
Lack of prior record, no eyewitness,
no confession, no motive.
605
00:43:22,516 --> 00:43:24,059
Hard evidence.
606
00:43:25,143 --> 00:43:27,437
I assume this conversation means
you're not going with insanity,
607
00:43:27,521 --> 00:43:31,024
which is a shame.
My shrinks would have torn him apart.
608
00:43:32,776 --> 00:43:35,695
By the way, your pleading the Fifth
on the charges was brilliant.
609
00:43:35,779 --> 00:43:37,405
- It was good, wasn't it?
- Yeah.
610
00:43:37,489 --> 00:43:38,865
I liked it.
611
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,703
You lose this case, you take the fall,
not Shaughnessy.
612
00:43:45,831 --> 00:43:49,459
- Talk to me.
- We're going to trial, Marty.
613
00:43:51,461 --> 00:43:53,337
All right, all it takes is one,
614
00:43:53,421 --> 00:43:56,132
just one juror
that doesn't believe he did it.
615
00:43:56,216 --> 00:43:58,843
One juror, with a kid his age,
looks into that face...
616
00:43:58,927 --> 00:44:02,055
I've got to admit, that face is great.
Are you prepping him to take the stand?
617
00:44:02,139 --> 00:44:04,391
That stutter, it's priceless.
618
00:44:08,061 --> 00:44:11,773
Marty, don't tell me
you think he didn't do it.
619
00:44:13,191 --> 00:44:16,360
What, has little Aaron Stampler
gotten to you?
620
00:44:16,444 --> 00:44:20,990
We're not just talking about jail here.
It's about ending someone's life.
621
00:44:21,074 --> 00:44:22,992
If you're wrong
and Shaughnessy's made you do this,
622
00:44:23,076 --> 00:44:26,288
- you gonna be able to live with it?
- I'll live.
623
00:44:28,957 --> 00:44:30,625
See you in court.
624
00:44:33,587 --> 00:44:36,464
Your Honor, we stipulate
that murder was done here.
625
00:44:36,548 --> 00:44:38,841
Therefore, these photographs
have no remaining probative value.
626
00:44:38,925 --> 00:44:41,761
This is not just murder.
This is a case of mutilation and torture.
627
00:44:41,845 --> 00:44:45,014
The only reason the prosecution wants
to show these gory pictures to the jury
628
00:44:45,098 --> 00:44:46,307
- is shock appeal.
- That is not true, Your Honor.
629
00:44:46,391 --> 00:44:48,351
- They should be excluded, absolutely.
- They clearly identify
630
00:44:48,435 --> 00:44:49,811
the heinous nature of the crime,
631
00:44:49,895 --> 00:44:51,521
and they connect the defendant,
632
00:44:51,605 --> 00:44:53,731
who was found covered in blood,
to the crime scene.
633
00:44:53,815 --> 00:44:55,233
- Prejudicial.
- I beg to differ.
634
00:44:55,317 --> 00:44:57,527
- Beg all you want. I don't...
- Counsel, please.
635
00:44:57,611 --> 00:44:59,612
The photographs are in, Mr. Vail.
636
00:44:59,696 --> 00:45:00,738
Now, would you two like a recess
637
00:45:00,822 --> 00:45:02,782
so you can carry on this discussion
in private?
638
00:45:02,866 --> 00:45:04,742
I'm sorry, Your Honor,
but this is too much.
639
00:45:04,826 --> 00:45:06,119
Next thing you know, he'll be objecting
640
00:45:06,203 --> 00:45:08,830
if we want to bring in the murder weapon.
641
00:45:11,208 --> 00:45:13,668
Well, now that she brings it up...
642
00:45:18,465 --> 00:45:20,550
This is a public building.
643
00:45:26,848 --> 00:45:28,642
Excuse me, Mr. Vail.
644
00:45:30,518 --> 00:45:32,646
Would you sign this for me?
645
00:45:36,107 --> 00:45:39,819
Tell me about Linda.
Mr. Vail said she was your girlfriend.
646
00:45:40,987 --> 00:45:42,321
Yes. Yes, she was.
647
00:45:42,405 --> 00:45:44,824
How'd you meet?
648
00:45:44,908 --> 00:45:49,579
Well, we was both at the Savior House.
I was an altar boy,
649
00:45:49,663 --> 00:45:53,166
and she was doing work
for Bishop Rushman.
650
00:45:54,542 --> 00:45:57,671
- What was the relationship like?
- Me and Linda?
651
00:45:59,422 --> 00:46:03,259
She's real cultural.
Real cultural and very smart.
652
00:46:03,343 --> 00:46:06,096
We had a nice time together.
653
00:46:09,307 --> 00:46:11,434
We might get married.
654
00:46:13,395 --> 00:46:15,522
Were you sleeping together?
655
00:46:19,651 --> 00:46:23,821
- Well, that's private.
- I know. I have to ask the question.
656
00:46:23,905 --> 00:46:26,866
Were you having
a sexual relationship, Aaron?
657
00:46:29,452 --> 00:46:31,787
Yeah, yes, yes, we were.
658
00:46:31,871 --> 00:46:35,458
Were you sleeping
with anyone else at the time?
659
00:46:35,542 --> 00:46:38,378
- No.
- Was she?
660
00:46:47,971 --> 00:46:50,307
Has she been to see you, Aaron?
661
00:46:57,939 --> 00:47:00,900
- Well, well, no, but...
- And that upsets you.
662
00:47:04,904 --> 00:47:07,741
No. No. Thing is, she went away.
663
00:47:09,909 --> 00:47:11,995
She went away for a while.
664
00:47:12,620 --> 00:47:16,999
She left before this happened.
I don't even think...
665
00:47:17,083 --> 00:47:19,627
Don't even think she knows about it.
666
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,016
- Yo, boss.
- Hey.
667
00:47:34,100 --> 00:47:36,894
- You got something for me?
- Yeah.
668
00:47:36,978 --> 00:47:38,854
There's nothing cataloged
at the downtown branch
669
00:47:38,938 --> 00:47:41,065
under the numbers B32156.
670
00:47:41,149 --> 00:47:43,859
But I don't think the "B" is a "B."
I think it's an eight.
671
00:47:43,943 --> 00:47:46,988
I think the knife slipped. 832156.
672
00:47:48,698 --> 00:47:50,533
"Thomas Jefferson"?
I don't think he did it.
673
00:47:50,617 --> 00:47:53,035
All right. Well, you're not gonna be
much happier with this.
674
00:47:53,119 --> 00:47:57,206
A list of the Archbishop's charities
and his foundation's investments.
675
00:47:57,290 --> 00:48:00,752
Nothing startling here,
except for how many there are.
676
00:48:02,962 --> 00:48:05,506
Wait a minute here. What's this?
677
00:48:05,590 --> 00:48:09,260
What was he doing
with the South River deal? Pull that up.
678
00:48:12,138 --> 00:48:14,057
Who are the investors?
679
00:48:16,643 --> 00:48:18,061
Shaughnessy?
680
00:48:19,187 --> 00:48:21,648
That's Joey Pinero's neighborhood.
681
00:48:22,107 --> 00:48:25,151
See this lot here?
This all used to be houses.
682
00:48:25,443 --> 00:48:28,738
In fact, there was a house
over there on the corner...
683
00:48:29,322 --> 00:48:32,992
where I kissed my first girlfriend.
Got her pregnant, too.
684
00:48:33,993 --> 00:48:36,078
- Hell of a kiss, Joey.
- Oh, yeah.
685
00:48:36,162 --> 00:48:39,081
Anyway, this whole neighborhood's
gonna end up high-rent condos
686
00:48:39,165 --> 00:48:41,250
if those guys get their way.
687
00:48:41,334 --> 00:48:44,754
That's why I'm gonna buy back the lot
with the settlement you got me.
688
00:48:44,838 --> 00:48:45,838
- You heard about that, right?
- Yeah.
689
00:48:45,922 --> 00:48:48,090
- The money?
- Who hasn't?
690
00:48:48,174 --> 00:48:51,469
- Marty's the best, man.
- Just doing my job.
691
00:48:51,553 --> 00:48:53,888
Yeah. A million fucking five,
he's just doing his job.
692
00:48:53,972 --> 00:48:57,767
Alderman, Joey tells me
a cop came around,
693
00:48:57,851 --> 00:48:59,894
wanted him to set you up.
694
00:49:00,937 --> 00:49:02,439
It's typical.
695
00:49:03,314 --> 00:49:06,234
Can't buy me,
so they try and buy a brother.
696
00:49:06,818 --> 00:49:09,195
See, most people assume
that this land we're walking on
697
00:49:09,279 --> 00:49:13,658
belongs to the railroad, but it doesn't.
It belongs to the church.
698
00:49:14,742 --> 00:49:16,161
The church?
699
00:49:18,496 --> 00:49:21,040
- So that's the Rushman Foundation?
- That's right.
700
00:49:21,124 --> 00:49:23,918
Along with a bunch of rich developers.
701
00:49:24,002 --> 00:49:26,796
- Including John Shaughnessy?
- Yeah.
702
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,548
Then they got greedy,
started buying up all the land
703
00:49:29,632 --> 00:49:32,968
and old buildings
around the church property,
704
00:49:33,052 --> 00:49:34,845
then tearing it down.
705
00:49:34,929 --> 00:49:37,139
Our old neighborhood was gonna disappear.
706
00:49:37,223 --> 00:49:38,766
So I went to the Archbishop and I said,
707
00:49:38,850 --> 00:49:42,520
"What are you doing to these people?
They're poor.
708
00:49:43,104 --> 00:49:45,815
"They're getting kicked
out of their homes,
709
00:49:45,899 --> 00:49:47,233
"and they're Catholic."
710
00:49:47,317 --> 00:49:48,567
Fucking A.
711
00:49:48,651 --> 00:49:51,279
He listened. I couldn't believe it.
712
00:49:52,947 --> 00:49:55,324
He told them to stop developing
around the church property.
713
00:49:55,408 --> 00:49:56,409
So the partners are left
714
00:49:56,493 --> 00:49:59,161
holding these empty buildings
they can't knock down
715
00:49:59,245 --> 00:50:01,163
- and land they can't build on.
- That's right.
716
00:50:01,247 --> 00:50:03,999
Shaughnessy loses millions.
717
00:50:04,083 --> 00:50:06,210
Look, if I need you to, will you testify?
718
00:50:06,294 --> 00:50:09,672
Who, me? Yeah. Easy.
719
00:50:09,756 --> 00:50:12,258
Just change out of this suit,
put on a Brooks Brothers
720
00:50:12,342 --> 00:50:14,260
- with loafers and tassels, you bet.
- Joey, thank you.
721
00:50:14,344 --> 00:50:15,845
Thank you. Not you.
722
00:50:17,847 --> 00:50:19,015
Sure.
723
00:50:20,266 --> 00:50:21,893
I'll testify.
724
00:50:24,812 --> 00:50:26,689
Well, you know what people think.
725
00:50:26,773 --> 00:50:28,691
Think this great city runs itself.
726
00:50:28,775 --> 00:50:33,696
They think it gets up, goes to work and
climbs into bed at night just like we do.
727
00:50:33,780 --> 00:50:34,864
They're unaware of what it takes
728
00:50:34,948 --> 00:50:37,533
to make sure the whole damn thing
doesn't break down.
729
00:50:37,617 --> 00:50:40,703
Crime, fires, riots,
730
00:50:40,787 --> 00:50:43,330
the goddamn water pipes
bursting under the city.
731
00:50:43,414 --> 00:50:45,875
Christ, what a fucking mess that was.
732
00:50:45,959 --> 00:50:47,668
And who does the water commissioner call?
733
00:50:47,752 --> 00:50:52,131
The contractor who built it? No.
He calls me. They all call me.
734
00:50:55,552 --> 00:50:57,679
God damn, this is terrific.
735
00:50:58,513 --> 00:51:02,433
They call me, because I keep the peace.
736
00:51:02,517 --> 00:51:05,311
That's my job.
737
00:51:05,395 --> 00:51:08,439
This city doesn't burn
because I won't permit it.
738
00:51:08,523 --> 00:51:11,025
I'm the great negotiator.
739
00:51:11,109 --> 00:51:12,985
You think people get that?
740
00:51:13,069 --> 00:51:16,780
Truth is, they don't care.
Dumb bastards don't even vote.
741
00:51:16,864 --> 00:51:19,116
All they want to do is eat,
sleep, watch TV
742
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,911
and occasionally fuck their wives.
743
00:51:21,995 --> 00:51:23,913
Guess we should all thank you.
744
00:51:24,872 --> 00:51:26,541
You're welcome.
745
00:51:27,834 --> 00:51:30,503
John, you need some new material.
746
00:51:30,587 --> 00:51:34,007
I've heard this "great city" speech
10 times already.
747
00:51:36,843 --> 00:51:40,596
Your boy Pinero's not honoring
his side of the deal.
748
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:42,264
Is that what this dinner was about?
Pinero?
749
00:51:42,348 --> 00:51:43,850
In part.
750
00:51:44,851 --> 00:51:49,105
I told him what the deal is.
He's a grownup. What's the other part?
751
00:51:51,190 --> 00:51:52,733
I understand your assistant's
been digging around
752
00:51:52,817 --> 00:51:55,695
in the Archbishop's financial affairs.
753
00:51:56,321 --> 00:51:57,905
Yeah. Well...
754
00:52:05,121 --> 00:52:06,288
How much did you lose
755
00:52:06,372 --> 00:52:09,459
when he pulled the plug
from South River, John?
756
00:52:10,668 --> 00:52:13,128
Let me tell you something.
757
00:52:13,212 --> 00:52:14,588
It's a mistake to stick your thumb
758
00:52:14,672 --> 00:52:17,132
in the eyes of the most powerful people
in the city.
759
00:52:17,216 --> 00:52:19,802
It's not their eyes I'm aiming for.
760
00:52:23,514 --> 00:52:25,933
Do not fuck with me, Marty.
761
00:52:39,947 --> 00:52:42,367
Pipes are bursting again, John.
762
00:52:59,759 --> 00:53:03,095
In the most anticipated murder trial
in recent Chicago history,
763
00:53:03,179 --> 00:53:06,307
former State's Attorney prosecutor
Martin Vail will lead
764
00:53:06,391 --> 00:53:09,393
with his opening statement
on behalf of Aaron Stampler...
765
00:53:09,477 --> 00:53:11,145
The prosecution's case is headed
766
00:53:11,229 --> 00:53:13,731
by Assistant State's Attorney
Janet Venable. Venable was...
767
00:53:13,815 --> 00:53:16,650
Richard Rushman was a man of God.
768
00:53:16,734 --> 00:53:20,696
He spent his life giving
to the people of Chicago.
769
00:53:20,780 --> 00:53:22,114
He was a beacon of inspiration,
770
00:53:22,198 --> 00:53:25,200
not only as a spiritual leader,
but as a citizen.
771
00:53:25,284 --> 00:53:27,703
...will deliver his opening statement
tomorrow on behalf of defendant...
772
00:53:27,787 --> 00:53:29,580
My name is Martin Vail,
773
00:53:29,664 --> 00:53:32,791
and the reason I'm here,
and the reason you're here,
774
00:53:32,875 --> 00:53:35,628
is to make sure
that the whole truth is known.
775
00:53:35,712 --> 00:53:37,880
Now, we can begin to learn the truth
776
00:53:37,964 --> 00:53:41,050
by talking about what the prosecution
does not want you to hear.
777
00:53:41,134 --> 00:53:45,554
Do not be fooled by the defendant's
innocent appearance and demeanor.
778
00:53:45,638 --> 00:53:49,933
Aaron Stampler sat in judgment
of Archbishop Rushman
779
00:53:50,017 --> 00:53:52,811
and determined that
not only should he die,
780
00:53:52,895 --> 00:53:55,230
but he should die
the most brutal way possible.
781
00:53:55,314 --> 00:53:57,566
Aaron was arrested within minutes
of the Archbishop's death.
782
00:53:57,650 --> 00:53:59,735
We all know that.
We all saw it on television.
783
00:53:59,819 --> 00:54:03,405
But why? Because he was convenient.
784
00:54:03,489 --> 00:54:06,408
Because there was enormous pressure
on the police to solve this crime.
785
00:54:06,492 --> 00:54:10,913
The evidence will show
that Aaron Stampler stalked, ambushed
786
00:54:10,997 --> 00:54:13,248
and savagely murdered this great man.
787
00:54:13,332 --> 00:54:15,167
The prosecution does not want you to hear
788
00:54:15,251 --> 00:54:17,127
about the other altar boys
in the church choir
789
00:54:17,211 --> 00:54:19,004
who have mysteriously disappeared.
790
00:54:19,088 --> 00:54:20,714
At the close of evidence,
ladies and gentlemen,
791
00:54:20,798 --> 00:54:23,926
you will learn that Aaron Stampler
had everything he needed
792
00:54:24,010 --> 00:54:25,678
for the perfect assassination.
793
00:54:25,762 --> 00:54:31,266
Using this knife,
Aaron Stampler repeatedly stabbed
794
00:54:31,350 --> 00:54:36,063
at the Archbishop's chest,
his genitals, his eyes.
795
00:54:36,147 --> 00:54:39,566
They don't want you to hear
that the Archbishop made investments
796
00:54:39,650 --> 00:54:41,652
on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church
797
00:54:41,736 --> 00:54:44,863
and that those investments
resulted in huge losses
798
00:54:44,947 --> 00:54:47,074
for some very, very powerful people.
799
00:54:47,158 --> 00:54:50,786
They don't want you to hear about
the 20 death threats this year alone
800
00:54:50,870 --> 00:54:53,122
that the Archbishop received
prior to his death.
801
00:54:53,206 --> 00:54:57,376
And they really don't want you to hear
about their theory of motive.
802
00:54:57,460 --> 00:54:59,712
And why is that? Very simple.
803
00:55:02,173 --> 00:55:04,008
They don't have one.
804
00:55:07,136 --> 00:55:09,888
Inspector Woodside,
can you explain to the court
805
00:55:09,972 --> 00:55:11,974
where these sneakers came from?
806
00:55:12,058 --> 00:55:15,477
They were taken off the defendant
when he was apprehended.
807
00:55:15,561 --> 00:55:18,647
And what was the result of
the bloodstain analysis done on them?
808
00:55:18,731 --> 00:55:21,358
The result of the analysis
proved to be human blood
809
00:55:21,442 --> 00:55:23,986
matching the blood type
and DNA characteristics
810
00:55:24,070 --> 00:55:25,529
of Archbishop Rushman.
811
00:55:25,613 --> 00:55:28,323
What do the bloody footprints
surrounding the body tell you?
812
00:55:28,407 --> 00:55:31,410
The killer left a pattern
of bloody footprints
813
00:55:31,494 --> 00:55:33,036
around the area of the struggle,
814
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,998
as indicated by the spread of blood
through the room.
815
00:55:36,082 --> 00:55:37,708
All right, yes or no, Inspector?
816
00:55:37,792 --> 00:55:41,253
Could there have been a third person in
the Archbishop's quarters that morning?
817
00:55:41,337 --> 00:55:42,921
There is no evidence to suggest that.
818
00:55:43,005 --> 00:55:45,174
But there's no evidence
to prove there wasn't.
819
00:55:45,258 --> 00:55:46,341
No.
820
00:55:46,425 --> 00:55:48,510
And after the struggle,
what happened then?
821
00:55:48,594 --> 00:55:52,097
Well, analysis suggests that the killer
was startled during the mutilation
822
00:55:52,181 --> 00:55:54,641
and ran from the bedroom down the stairs.
823
00:55:54,725 --> 00:56:00,439
Is it possible, Inspector,
that the real killer, a third person...
824
00:56:01,148 --> 00:56:02,608
who maybe was smart enough
825
00:56:02,692 --> 00:56:07,029
not to tramp a whole freeway of blood
through the whole place here,
826
00:56:07,113 --> 00:56:10,532
couldn't this third person have placed
the defendant's prints
827
00:56:10,616 --> 00:56:13,035
on the knife while he was passed out?
828
00:56:13,119 --> 00:56:15,037
Mr. Vail, anything is possible.
829
00:56:15,121 --> 00:56:18,499
So, clearly, the victim suffered
a great number of stab wounds?
830
00:56:18,583 --> 00:56:22,377
Yes, he did, 78.
He tried to defend himself.
831
00:56:22,461 --> 00:56:25,047
And that explains the cuts
on the hands and the forearms.
832
00:56:25,131 --> 00:56:28,133
Doctor, isn't it a fact
that you can't be sure
833
00:56:28,217 --> 00:56:34,056
whether more than one person inflicted
these 78 stab and incise wounds?
834
00:56:34,140 --> 00:56:36,975
That's true, Counselor. It could've been
more than one person, but I doubt it.
835
00:56:37,059 --> 00:56:39,770
From your analysis
of the knife wounds, Dr. Weil,
836
00:56:39,854 --> 00:56:43,232
do you have an opinion whether the
killer was left-handed or right-handed?
837
00:56:43,316 --> 00:56:46,068
Well, the incise wound to the throat
and most of the chest wounds
838
00:56:46,152 --> 00:56:49,363
were made from an angle that strongly
suggests that a left-handed person
839
00:56:49,447 --> 00:56:50,531
was using the knife.
840
00:56:50,615 --> 00:56:52,699
To your knowledge,
is the defendant left-handed?
841
00:56:52,783 --> 00:56:53,909
Yes, he is.
842
00:56:53,993 --> 00:56:56,245
Well, then it's possible
that a right-handed person
843
00:56:56,329 --> 00:57:00,207
could've deliberately used his left hand
to inflict some of these wounds.
844
00:57:00,291 --> 00:57:01,708
Yes, I suppose that is possible.
845
00:57:01,792 --> 00:57:04,086
Then it would be reasonable to assume
846
00:57:04,170 --> 00:57:07,631
that there was, in fact,
a third person there at the crime scene?
847
00:57:07,715 --> 00:57:10,634
Reasonable, no. But it is possible.
848
00:57:10,718 --> 00:57:12,469
Then following opening statements,
849
00:57:12,553 --> 00:57:14,471
it was a day of strong
and detailed testimony
850
00:57:14,555 --> 00:57:16,598
from the prosecution's first witnesses,
851
00:57:16,682 --> 00:57:19,017
Cook County Forensics Chief
Harvey Woodside
852
00:57:19,101 --> 00:57:21,520
and Cook County Medical Examiner
Emile Weil.
853
00:57:21,604 --> 00:57:23,689
It was also a day of
tough cross-examination
854
00:57:23,773 --> 00:57:24,940
of Woodside and Weil
855
00:57:25,024 --> 00:57:27,109
by Stampler defense attorney Martin Vail.
856
00:57:27,193 --> 00:57:29,111
By most accounts, though,
the prosecution...
857
00:57:29,195 --> 00:57:30,904
Captain Stenner,
I would like to thank you
858
00:57:30,988 --> 00:57:32,948
for all the time you've given us today,
859
00:57:33,032 --> 00:57:35,325
but, finally,
I would like to turn your attention
860
00:57:35,409 --> 00:57:38,787
to the symbol carved
into the Archbishop's chest.
861
00:57:38,871 --> 00:57:42,291
Now would you please tell the jury
about that, Captain?
862
00:57:42,375 --> 00:57:48,046
Yes. The letter
and the numbers B32.156
863
00:57:48,130 --> 00:57:49,923
were carved into the Archbishop's chest.
864
00:57:50,007 --> 00:57:51,550
What you just described,
865
00:57:51,634 --> 00:57:54,261
have you been able
to find an identical reference anywhere?
866
00:57:54,345 --> 00:57:55,971
I believe so, yes.
867
00:57:56,055 --> 00:58:01,810
The symbol B32.156
is actually catalog code for a book
868
00:58:01,894 --> 00:58:05,981
discovered in a private reading room
located in the church basement.
869
00:58:06,065 --> 00:58:10,944
That particular number, the B32 part,
refers to a book,
870
00:58:11,028 --> 00:58:13,989
The Scarlet Letter
by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
871
00:58:14,073 --> 00:58:19,954
When we opened the book to Page 156,
we discovered an underlined passage.
872
00:58:21,747 --> 00:58:25,459
Would you please read
this underlined passage to the court?
873
00:58:28,379 --> 00:58:31,340
"No man, for any considerable period,
874
00:58:31,424 --> 00:58:35,427
"can wear one face to himself
and another to the multitude
875
00:58:35,511 --> 00:58:39,598
"without finally getting bewildered
as to which may be the true."
876
00:58:40,558 --> 00:58:42,059
Thank you.
877
00:58:45,980 --> 00:58:47,940
What does that passage
mean to you, Captain?
878
00:58:48,024 --> 00:58:50,901
Objection. He's a policeman,
not an English professor.
879
00:58:50,985 --> 00:58:53,737
His interpretation would be speculative
and irrelevant.
880
00:58:53,821 --> 00:58:55,614
I didn't hear her ask
for an expert opinion.
881
00:58:55,698 --> 00:58:57,783
The witness can answer.
882
00:58:58,909 --> 00:59:01,036
Well, to me, it's simple.
883
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,039
The killer thought
that his victim was two-faced,
884
00:59:04,123 --> 00:59:05,582
dishonest in some way.
885
00:59:05,666 --> 00:59:07,501
In your experience, Captain,
886
00:59:07,585 --> 00:59:11,380
do killers ever intentionally
leave clues to their motive?
887
00:59:11,464 --> 00:59:13,883
Not often, but it happens.
888
00:59:19,889 --> 00:59:21,140
Thanks.
889
00:59:21,932 --> 00:59:23,976
- Thanks, man.
- Yeah, sure.
890
00:59:24,435 --> 00:59:27,020
Did you underline that book?
891
00:59:27,104 --> 00:59:29,690
- Did I what?
- Did you underline that book?
892
00:59:29,774 --> 00:59:32,859
- No. No, Mr. Vail.
- No?
893
00:59:32,943 --> 00:59:36,613
No. Mr. Vail.
I never even opened The Scarlet Letter.
894
00:59:36,697 --> 00:59:39,700
I don't like Hawthorne.
895
00:59:39,784 --> 00:59:42,244
I tried to read that one about the house
with the seven somethings
896
00:59:42,328 --> 00:59:45,414
in high school.
I couldn't even get past Page 10.
897
00:59:47,166 --> 00:59:51,253
I mean, I weren't the only one using
Bishop Rushman's library.
898
00:59:51,629 --> 00:59:54,006
You know what? Everybody borrowed
books from Bishop Rushman.
899
00:59:54,090 --> 00:59:55,340
He encouraged it.
900
00:59:55,424 --> 00:59:57,509
His altar boys and staff,
everyone was in there.
901
00:59:57,593 --> 00:59:58,886
Guard?
902
01:00:00,846 --> 01:00:02,264
Thanks.
903
01:00:09,355 --> 01:00:11,649
You don't give up, do you?
904
01:00:16,362 --> 01:00:18,989
So you didn't know anything about that?
905
01:00:19,073 --> 01:00:21,324
- No.
- What about the impact of...
906
01:00:21,408 --> 01:00:24,119
Look, I can't talk to you right now.
My office will call you, all right?
907
01:00:24,203 --> 01:00:26,553
- Yeah. Thanks.
- Okay, bye. Yeah, I'll see you.
908
01:00:28,332 --> 01:00:30,251
- Bye.
- Bye.
909
01:00:37,383 --> 01:00:39,051
What the fuck happened in there?
910
01:00:40,094 --> 01:00:43,347
I guess that eight was a "B" after all.
911
01:00:44,390 --> 01:00:47,518
You think this is funny?
We're losing this case.
912
01:00:48,853 --> 01:00:50,979
What the hell happened, Tommy?
How could you have missed that?
913
01:00:51,063 --> 01:00:52,147
Marty, there are 50 of them,
914
01:00:52,231 --> 01:00:53,982
plus the entire
Chicago Police Department.
915
01:00:54,066 --> 01:00:56,526
How was I to know he had a private
reading room in the church basement?
916
01:00:56,610 --> 01:00:58,361
- It's your job to know.
- Fuck, Marty, you want my job?
917
01:00:58,445 --> 01:00:59,946
No. I want you to do your fucking job!
918
01:01:00,030 --> 01:01:01,657
Marty, come on.
919
01:01:02,741 --> 01:01:04,367
I'm working on a third-man defense here.
920
01:01:04,451 --> 01:01:05,994
Do you know that?
Have you figured that out yet?
921
01:01:06,078 --> 01:01:08,580
I don't have a third man.
You know why I don't have a third man?
922
01:01:08,664 --> 01:01:11,124
'Cause you can't fucking find him!
That's why.
923
01:01:11,208 --> 01:01:13,085
Is it that hard to find one indigent kid?
924
01:01:13,169 --> 01:01:16,255
Look, maybe we already got
the kid who did this.
925
01:01:16,672 --> 01:01:20,008
We have to at least consider
the possibility that he did it.
926
01:01:20,092 --> 01:01:21,551
All the hard evidence
is pointing towards him,
927
01:01:21,635 --> 01:01:23,053
and you keep refusing to even look at it.
928
01:01:23,137 --> 01:01:26,974
I'm not refusing to look at anything!
I don't think he did it!
929
01:01:27,725 --> 01:01:28,850
Look, you two,
930
01:01:28,934 --> 01:01:30,977
we're up there in a couple of days,
and we got dick!
931
01:01:31,061 --> 01:01:33,605
So I wish the two of you'd do
your fucking goddamn jobs, all right?
932
01:01:33,689 --> 01:01:35,024
Fuck!
933
01:01:48,621 --> 01:01:51,540
It must have been hard for you
to come here to Chicago.
934
01:01:51,624 --> 01:01:53,667
You didn't know anybody.
935
01:01:54,460 --> 01:01:55,961
No. Nobody.
936
01:01:56,712 --> 01:01:58,631
Didn't have any money?
937
01:02:00,132 --> 01:02:01,634
No, nothing.
938
01:02:03,052 --> 01:02:07,640
I want to talk more about your girlfriend,
Linda, now. Can we, Aaron?
939
01:02:09,475 --> 01:02:11,518
- No.
- Why not?
940
01:02:16,106 --> 01:02:17,274
Aaron.
941
01:02:22,863 --> 01:02:25,532
I'm sorry.
942
01:02:27,785 --> 01:02:30,829
Do you think we can do this later?
943
01:02:30,913 --> 01:02:36,751
- No, I want to stay with this for a minute.
- I'm just feeling a little tired.
944
01:02:36,835 --> 01:02:40,339
I know. Why does talking
about Linda Forbes upset you?
945
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:44,218
It doesn't.
946
01:02:45,386 --> 01:02:48,555
I just don't want to talk
about it right now.
947
01:02:48,681 --> 01:02:53,727
- Why not? Are you all right?
- No, my head hurts.
948
01:02:55,354 --> 01:02:57,982
Okay, okay, I'm sorry.
Let me just fix this.
949
01:03:03,529 --> 01:03:05,280
Hey, you know what I can do
with this thing?
950
01:03:05,364 --> 01:03:07,741
No, how the fuck should I know?
951
01:03:11,078 --> 01:03:12,538
Jesus Christ.
952
01:03:21,714 --> 01:03:22,881
Aaron?
953
01:03:32,558 --> 01:03:33,684
What?
954
01:03:35,394 --> 01:03:37,229
What were you saying?
955
01:03:56,248 --> 01:03:57,791
Come on.
956
01:06:25,606 --> 01:06:26,899
Stop him!
957
01:06:29,651 --> 01:06:31,444
Who the fuck are you?
What do you want?
958
01:06:31,528 --> 01:06:32,904
What do you want, God damn it?
I'll kill you!
959
01:06:32,988 --> 01:06:35,324
I don't think so, Alex. Drop it.
960
01:06:36,074 --> 01:06:37,326
Drop it.
961
01:06:42,039 --> 01:06:45,250
- Remember me?
- My name is Martin Vail.
962
01:06:45,334 --> 01:06:46,668
I don't give a fuck what your name is.
963
01:06:46,752 --> 01:06:49,379
- You got no right doing this to me.
- I have every fucking right!
964
01:06:49,463 --> 01:06:52,173
I'm Aaron Stampler's attorney,
you little shit!
965
01:06:52,257 --> 01:06:55,928
Now, what do you know
about the Archbishop's murder?
966
01:06:58,430 --> 01:06:59,764
Nothing.
967
01:06:59,848 --> 01:07:01,349
Where the fuck do you think you're going?
968
01:07:01,433 --> 01:07:03,644
Bullshit! Don't fuck with us.
969
01:07:04,937 --> 01:07:06,813
I swear I know nothing.
970
01:07:07,814 --> 01:07:09,149
Well, then,
what were you doing over there?
971
01:07:09,233 --> 01:07:12,694
What were you doing at Aaron's house?
What were you looking for?
972
01:07:12,778 --> 01:07:15,822
- A tape.
- A tape? Videotape?
973
01:07:15,906 --> 01:07:17,449
- Yeah.
- Of what?
974
01:07:22,162 --> 01:07:23,539
Sex stuff.
975
01:07:24,540 --> 01:07:26,041
Sex stuff?
976
01:07:26,500 --> 01:07:29,002
What, I have to draw a picture for you?
977
01:07:29,086 --> 01:07:30,128
Who?
978
01:07:30,963 --> 01:07:32,047
Who?
979
01:07:33,006 --> 01:07:34,341
Me, Linda.
980
01:07:38,136 --> 01:07:39,220
And Aaron?
981
01:07:39,304 --> 01:07:42,140
Yeah. He shot it, too,
for the Archbishop.
982
01:07:43,475 --> 01:07:44,726
Are you telling...
983
01:07:44,810 --> 01:07:49,898
Are you telling me that Archbishop
Rushman is involved with sex stuff?
984
01:07:49,982 --> 01:07:52,901
Yeah, he called it "purging the devil."
985
01:07:52,985 --> 01:07:55,153
He'd say a sermon for 10 minutes,
and then he'd tell us what to do.
986
01:07:55,237 --> 01:07:58,907
- You're full of shit.
- I don't give a fuck what you believe!
987
01:07:58,991 --> 01:08:01,242
Hey, hey, hey. What? What?
988
01:08:01,326 --> 01:08:03,203
What were you going to do with the tape?
989
01:08:03,287 --> 01:08:04,913
- What were you going to do?
- Trash it.
990
01:08:04,997 --> 01:08:06,998
I was gonna throw it away.
991
01:08:07,082 --> 01:08:08,917
Just one. One tape. Just one tape.
992
01:08:09,001 --> 01:08:11,836
Yeah. Yeah. One. He'd use the same
one. He'd keep recording over and over.
993
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:13,671
So what made you think Aaron had this?
994
01:08:13,755 --> 01:08:17,258
I don't know. I thought maybe he got it,
and he went back and killed him.
995
01:08:17,342 --> 01:08:21,138
- I mean, he did kill him, right?
- No, he didn't.
996
01:08:23,015 --> 01:08:25,809
So where's this girl? Where's Linda?
997
01:08:26,393 --> 01:08:27,894
I don't know.
998
01:08:31,148 --> 01:08:33,900
She freaked out!
She panicked. She split.
999
01:08:33,984 --> 01:08:36,528
I don't know.
I'm not expecting any postcards.
1000
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,287
Look at me. Look at me.
1001
01:08:55,339 --> 01:08:57,424
Get him the fuck out of here, Tommy.
1002
01:08:59,217 --> 01:09:01,803
- Where to?
- A warm bunk and three meals a day.
1003
01:09:01,887 --> 01:09:06,433
- You can't arrest me! You're not a cop!
- I used to be. Does that work for you?
1004
01:09:34,002 --> 01:09:36,254
- Look who's here.
- Don't get up. Finish it.
1005
01:09:36,338 --> 01:09:38,339
- It's a good article.
- You know the rules.
1006
01:09:38,423 --> 01:09:40,675
Don't disturb anything.
Don't remove anything.
1007
01:09:40,759 --> 01:09:42,385
If you do, it's my ass.
1008
01:09:42,469 --> 01:09:45,180
Yeah, mine, too. I won't touch anything.
1009
01:10:45,198 --> 01:10:46,533
Excuse me.
1010
01:10:56,543 --> 01:10:58,879
...preach the gospel to every...
1011
01:11:04,342 --> 01:11:05,510
Hello.
1012
01:11:07,637 --> 01:11:09,430
- What are you guys watching?
- Wait a minute.
1013
01:11:09,514 --> 01:11:12,809
Go to her. Good.
1014
01:11:14,102 --> 01:11:19,524
Now help her. That's it, Aaron. Good.
1015
01:11:21,193 --> 01:11:22,778
Linda, help out.
1016
01:11:23,820 --> 01:11:26,865
Good. Take off her blouse, Aaron.
1017
01:11:28,992 --> 01:11:32,537
That's it. Now help him, Linda.
1018
01:11:33,747 --> 01:11:37,709
Isn't that sweet, Linda? Good. That's it.
1019
01:11:39,127 --> 01:11:40,712
Now, take him in your mouth.
1020
01:11:40,796 --> 01:11:43,256
- Here's motive.
- Aaron...
1021
01:11:43,715 --> 01:11:45,509
take her from behind.
1022
01:11:46,218 --> 01:11:49,721
- Aaron, take her from behind.
- Jesus Christ.
1023
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:54,810
Thanks.
1024
01:11:59,397 --> 01:12:03,360
487113 report to...
1025
01:12:04,736 --> 01:12:07,071
- I need to talk to him alone.
- I think there's something
1026
01:12:07,155 --> 01:12:10,659
- we should discuss.
- I need to be alone with my client.
1027
01:12:22,003 --> 01:12:23,588
Do you trust me?
1028
01:12:24,923 --> 01:12:26,049
Do...
1029
01:12:26,424 --> 01:12:28,426
Yes, yes, of course I do.
1030
01:12:28,802 --> 01:12:31,263
Good. Because I don't trust you.
1031
01:12:36,977 --> 01:12:39,104
I'll lay it all out for you.
1032
01:12:42,065 --> 01:12:44,901
I'm losing this case.
You know why I'm losing this case?
1033
01:12:44,985 --> 01:12:47,945
'Cause my fucking client
is fucking lying to me.
1034
01:12:48,029 --> 01:12:50,699
- I never lied to you.
- Bullshit!
1035
01:12:52,409 --> 01:12:54,703
That's it. No more bullshit.
No more games.
1036
01:12:56,454 --> 01:12:58,539
Everybody thinks you did this, everybody.
1037
01:12:58,623 --> 01:13:01,042
I'm the only one who believes you,
and I am that close.
1038
01:13:01,126 --> 01:13:04,588
So I want it all out. All of it.
Right now, right here.
1039
01:13:06,631 --> 01:13:08,800
Did you underline that book?
1040
01:13:09,634 --> 01:13:12,804
Hey, hey. Hey, look at me.
Did you underline that book?
1041
01:13:13,138 --> 01:13:16,474
- No, I didn't.
- I don't believe you.
1042
01:13:17,183 --> 01:13:18,643
- That is bullshit.
- I told...
1043
01:13:18,727 --> 01:13:22,272
I don't fucking believe you!
I saw the tape!
1044
01:13:23,982 --> 01:13:27,276
I saw the tape. I know what he did
to you. I want to hear it from you.
1045
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:28,569
No! No! No!
1046
01:13:28,653 --> 01:13:30,571
Tell me the whole thing.
Don't fucking do this.
1047
01:13:30,655 --> 01:13:32,782
I want you to tell me the truth,
and do not even think of lying.
1048
01:13:32,866 --> 01:13:34,450
You fucking killed him, didn't you?
You did it!
1049
01:13:34,534 --> 01:13:35,910
- You killed him. You're so full of shit!
- No!
1050
01:13:35,994 --> 01:13:38,371
You did it, didn't you?
Tell me the truth. Don't lie to me.
1051
01:13:38,455 --> 01:13:41,082
You little fuck! You did it.
You killed him! You son of a bitch!
1052
01:13:41,166 --> 01:13:43,335
- You fucking killed him!
- No!
1053
01:13:43,627 --> 01:13:45,503
What the hell do you want from me now?
1054
01:13:45,587 --> 01:13:48,756
Quit your crying! I can't understand
a goddamn word you're saying.
1055
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:51,343
You little sissy! You make me sick!
1056
01:13:55,305 --> 01:13:57,974
- Looky here. Who the fuck are you?
- Who the fuck are you?
1057
01:13:58,058 --> 01:14:01,019
This is my cell, Jack!
Who the fuck are you?
1058
01:14:04,940 --> 01:14:08,360
I got you now. You're the lawyer.
1059
01:14:10,111 --> 01:14:11,696
- You his lawyer, ain't you?
- Yeah.
1060
01:14:11,780 --> 01:14:14,240
Yeah, with your fancy suit.
I heard about you.
1061
01:14:14,991 --> 01:14:18,370
Well, my, my, you sure
fucked this one up, Counselor.
1062
01:14:18,787 --> 01:14:21,122
It sounds to me like they're gonna
shoot old Aaron so full of poison
1063
01:14:21,206 --> 01:14:23,416
it's gonna come out his eyes!
1064
01:14:24,334 --> 01:14:26,127
- Where is Aaron?
- Aaron's crying off
1065
01:14:26,211 --> 01:14:28,337
in some corner somewhere.
You scared him off!
1066
01:14:28,421 --> 01:14:30,798
You've got to deal with me now, boy.
1067
01:14:30,882 --> 01:14:33,885
I ought to give you a beating
on principle. Look at me.
1068
01:14:34,511 --> 01:14:37,221
You ever come in here and pull any
of that tough-guy shit on Aaron again,
1069
01:14:37,305 --> 01:14:39,223
I will kick your fucking ass to Sunday!
1070
01:14:39,307 --> 01:14:42,685
- Do you understand me?
- I understand you. I understand.
1071
01:14:42,769 --> 01:14:46,106
Aaron gets in trouble, he calls you.
You're the man.
1072
01:14:46,523 --> 01:14:48,608
Well, Aaron couldn't kick his own ass.
1073
01:14:48,692 --> 01:14:51,403
I mean, you seen him, with the...
1074
01:14:52,070 --> 01:14:53,154
Yeah.
1075
01:14:53,905 --> 01:14:56,157
Jesus Christ, he can't handle anything.
1076
01:14:56,241 --> 01:14:59,827
He sure as shit couldn't handle
all that preacher's blood, could he?
1077
01:14:59,911 --> 01:15:02,580
If he'd done like I told him,
we wouldn't be in this mess,
1078
01:15:02,664 --> 01:15:04,749
but he got scared, and...
1079
01:15:05,542 --> 01:15:09,003
Ran off, got hisself caught,
the stupid little shit.
1080
01:15:09,087 --> 01:15:12,090
So Aaron did kill Rushman.
1081
01:15:12,632 --> 01:15:15,134
Hell, no!
Jesus Christ, where did they find you?
1082
01:15:15,218 --> 01:15:19,264
Ain't you been listening to me?
Aaron don't have the guts to do nothing.
1083
01:15:20,724 --> 01:15:22,267
It was me, boy.
1084
01:15:23,518 --> 01:15:24,560
- It was me.
- It was you.
1085
01:15:24,644 --> 01:15:27,730
- It was you. It was you.
- Yes, it was.
1086
01:15:27,814 --> 01:15:31,860
He come crying to me like always,
stuttering and whining.
1087
01:15:32,193 --> 01:15:36,322
"I can't take it no more, Roy.
You got to help me.
1088
01:15:36,406 --> 01:15:38,283
"Please, please, Roy."
1089
01:15:38,908 --> 01:15:40,826
I said, "Shut your mouth, you little girl!
1090
01:15:40,910 --> 01:15:42,411
"Grow up. Be a man.
Take care of yourself."
1091
01:15:42,495 --> 01:15:44,495
- Be a man, yeah.
- Know what I'm saying?
1092
01:15:47,917 --> 01:15:49,669
So your name is Roy?
1093
01:15:50,670 --> 01:15:53,673
Oh, Jesus, I'm sorry. Yeah.
What is it? Marty?
1094
01:15:53,965 --> 01:15:55,049
- Yeah.
- Hey, listen, Marty.
1095
01:15:55,133 --> 01:15:57,301
I'm dying for a smoke.
Do you have a cigarette on you?
1096
01:15:57,385 --> 01:16:00,388
- No, I quit.
- Fuck that.
1097
01:16:01,473 --> 01:16:04,058
I can't live without them. There's got
to be a butt around here somewhere.
1098
01:16:04,142 --> 01:16:05,226
Roy.
1099
01:16:06,478 --> 01:16:09,564
Roy, tell me about Linda.
1100
01:16:11,816 --> 01:16:13,401
- Linda?
- Linda, yeah.
1101
01:16:13,485 --> 01:16:14,819
Well, who the fuck cares about Linda?
1102
01:16:14,903 --> 01:16:17,571
Well, I care about Linda.
I'd like to know about Linda.
1103
01:16:17,655 --> 01:16:19,031
That little tramp.
Let me tell you something.
1104
01:16:19,115 --> 01:16:21,575
Everybody had a piece of her,
you know what I'm saying?
1105
01:16:21,659 --> 01:16:23,369
I mean, she had Aaron
wrapped up so tight,
1106
01:16:23,453 --> 01:16:24,912
he actually thought
she was his girlfriend.
1107
01:16:24,996 --> 01:16:27,665
It was pathetic. She broke his heart.
1108
01:16:27,999 --> 01:16:33,046
So that's why you had to kill Rushman,
because of the sex stuff.
1109
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:37,675
You've seen the tape.
1110
01:16:39,844 --> 01:16:42,097
Answer me, you son of a bitch!
1111
01:16:43,014 --> 01:16:47,352
Do you think I'm playing with you?
I will break your fucking neck!
1112
01:16:48,561 --> 01:16:50,229
I'm going to ask you again.
Have you seen that tape?
1113
01:16:50,313 --> 01:16:51,772
I saw the tape.
Yeah, of course I saw the tape.
1114
01:16:51,856 --> 01:16:54,692
God damn it, God damn it.
I told him to get that tape.
1115
01:16:54,818 --> 01:16:57,153
I said, "Get the fucking tape.
It's motive, you asshole!"
1116
01:16:57,237 --> 01:16:58,863
This is going
to fuck everything up, Marty.
1117
01:16:58,947 --> 01:17:00,781
Don't you show that to a goddamn person!
1118
01:17:00,865 --> 01:17:01,991
- Do you understand me?
- Yes. Yes.
1119
01:17:02,075 --> 01:17:03,617
- Do you understand me?
- Yes. Shit.
1120
01:17:03,701 --> 01:17:05,161
- Aaron.
- Damn!
1121
01:17:50,748 --> 01:17:52,167
Mr. Vail?
1122
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:00,967
Yeah, I'm right here, Aaron.
1123
01:18:25,783 --> 01:18:28,453
He did it. The little fuck did it.
1124
01:18:31,623 --> 01:18:33,624
How could I have missed that?
1125
01:18:33,708 --> 01:18:35,960
- Do I need stitches?
- No.
1126
01:18:39,422 --> 01:18:43,259
He didn't do it. Aaron has no idea
what just happened in there.
1127
01:18:43,927 --> 01:18:46,387
I kept seeing all the signs, the big ones.
1128
01:18:46,471 --> 01:18:49,140
The abusive background,
these repeated blackouts,
1129
01:18:49,224 --> 01:18:50,474
the ellipses in thought.
1130
01:18:50,558 --> 01:18:52,143
He's ambidextrous.
That's what I was trying to tell you
1131
01:18:52,227 --> 01:18:53,394
when you came in tonight.
1132
01:18:53,478 --> 01:18:58,816
Look, you may be thrilled by all this,
but I'm fucked. I don't have a case.
1133
01:18:59,567 --> 01:19:02,444
It's textbook
multiple personality disorder.
1134
01:19:02,528 --> 01:19:04,405
Put me on the stand. I'll testify.
1135
01:19:05,073 --> 01:19:06,491
He's insane.
1136
01:19:07,533 --> 01:19:12,413
I can't. I can't change plea
in the middle of a trial.
1137
01:19:13,539 --> 01:19:15,249
The judge would never allow it.
1138
01:19:15,333 --> 01:19:18,503
Besides, insanity is
the hardest thing to prove.
1139
01:19:19,420 --> 01:19:20,546
Okay.
1140
01:19:22,298 --> 01:19:24,259
My professional opinion?
1141
01:19:25,426 --> 01:19:28,512
This is not a criminal
we're dealing with. It's a sick kid.
1142
01:19:28,596 --> 01:19:32,141
He's sitting in a cell,
and it's not where he belongs.
1143
01:19:38,856 --> 01:19:40,566
You got an aspirin?
1144
01:20:39,292 --> 01:20:41,419
Come on, Connerman, ask it.
1145
01:20:42,503 --> 01:20:43,755
Ask what?
1146
01:20:46,090 --> 01:20:48,843
The question you wanted to ask me before.
1147
01:20:49,927 --> 01:20:52,096
I don't understand, Mr. Vail.
1148
01:20:52,263 --> 01:20:55,516
"How can you defend someone
if you know they did it?
1149
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:56,684
"How can you do that?
1150
01:20:56,768 --> 01:20:58,852
"How can you fucking defend
these fucking scumbags?"
1151
01:20:58,936 --> 01:21:01,480
Isn't that what you wanted to ask me?
It is, isn't it?
1152
01:21:01,564 --> 01:21:03,899
All those fucking coy questions,
all that bullshit.
1153
01:21:03,983 --> 01:21:06,944
Bottom line is,
"How can you do what you do?"
1154
01:21:12,867 --> 01:21:15,411
You think it's the money, don't you?
1155
01:21:17,997 --> 01:21:21,876
The money's nice.
The money's very, very nice, Jack.
1156
01:21:22,835 --> 01:21:25,588
You know,
the first thing I ask a new client is...
1157
01:21:26,881 --> 01:21:29,049
"You been saving up for a rainy day?
1158
01:21:29,133 --> 01:21:32,804
"Guess what? It's raining."
1159
01:21:34,972 --> 01:21:38,976
You think it's because I want to see
my face on the cover of magazines?
1160
01:21:39,769 --> 01:21:44,774
My 15 seconds on TV? I love it.
I fucking love that shit. I really do...
1161
01:21:46,275 --> 01:21:47,819
but guess what.
1162
01:21:48,653 --> 01:21:50,071
It's not it.
1163
01:21:54,033 --> 01:21:56,160
- You go to Las Vegas?
- Yeah.
1164
01:21:57,078 --> 01:22:00,414
I don't go to Vegas.
Why do you think I don't go to Vegas?
1165
01:22:00,498 --> 01:22:03,125
Marty, it's late. I think that
we should both just get up and go...
1166
01:22:03,209 --> 01:22:07,046
Why gamble with money when you can
gamble with people's lives?
1167
01:22:10,341 --> 01:22:11,968
That was a joke.
1168
01:22:15,012 --> 01:22:17,014
All right, I'll tell you.
1169
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:26,774
I believe in the notion that people
are innocent until proven guilty.
1170
01:22:27,692 --> 01:22:30,987
I believe in that notion
because I choose to believe...
1171
01:22:31,404 --> 01:22:33,739
in the basic goodness of people.
1172
01:22:35,032 --> 01:22:39,203
I choose to believe that not all crimes
are committed by bad people...
1173
01:22:40,163 --> 01:22:42,039
and I try to understand...
1174
01:22:43,249 --> 01:22:46,711
that some very, very good people
do some very bad things.
1175
01:23:03,186 --> 01:23:06,063
You know,
when I was working for Shaughnessy...
1176
01:23:06,814 --> 01:23:09,108
I did something very, very bad. Maybe...
1177
01:23:10,359 --> 01:23:14,197
illegal. I was a prosecutor then.
1178
01:23:15,031 --> 01:23:19,827
This thing that I did, I was very upset
by it, and I decided to leave.
1179
01:23:19,911 --> 01:23:23,915
So I left. I became a defending attorney.
1180
01:23:24,248 --> 01:23:27,793
The irony being that everyone
assumes I'm fucking lying anyhow.
1181
01:23:28,377 --> 01:23:31,172
So I made myself this little promise that
1182
01:23:34,383 --> 01:23:37,929
I would reserve my lies
for other than my public life.
1183
01:23:50,608 --> 01:23:53,778
You print any of this,
I'll sue your fucking ass.
1184
01:24:20,638 --> 01:24:22,222
All right, all right,
so I made a little mistake.
1185
01:24:22,306 --> 01:24:23,808
No shit.
1186
01:24:24,684 --> 01:24:28,061
What do you want? Want a new suit?
I'll buy you a new suit.
1187
01:24:28,145 --> 01:24:31,815
You made a mistake?
You told us the third man did it.
1188
01:24:31,899 --> 01:24:35,068
So now you got your third man
and a fourth man and a fifth man...
1189
01:24:35,152 --> 01:24:37,488
What are you going to do, Marty?
1190
01:24:37,780 --> 01:24:40,449
I don't know. I really fucked up here.
1191
01:24:41,576 --> 01:24:43,119
You were right.
1192
01:24:43,661 --> 01:24:46,080
So how are you gonna get him off?
1193
01:24:47,206 --> 01:24:49,250
I don't know.
1194
01:24:50,042 --> 01:24:53,337
What I know is, Aaron did not commit
first-degree murder.
1195
01:24:53,421 --> 01:24:56,424
- Marty, he stabbed him a billion times...
- No, not Aaron.
1196
01:24:57,300 --> 01:25:01,345
To convict someone of a capital crime,
the State must prove intent.
1197
01:25:02,263 --> 01:25:03,764
Roy had intent, Aaron didn't.
1198
01:25:03,848 --> 01:25:06,225
Yeah, but the only way to prove that
is to change the plea to insanity,
1199
01:25:06,309 --> 01:25:09,603
which we can't do mid-trial, unless
you're planning on a career change.
1200
01:25:09,687 --> 01:25:12,439
I could've been mistaken,
but I wasn't wrong.
1201
01:25:12,523 --> 01:25:15,985
Aaron is innocent. It's Roy who is guilty.
1202
01:25:16,152 --> 01:25:18,111
This kid doesn't need a lawyer.
He needs an exorcist.
1203
01:25:18,195 --> 01:25:21,448
Tom, you are so full of shit. You were
not there, and you didn't see it.
1204
01:25:21,532 --> 01:25:25,077
He's one sick motherfucking boy, man,
who's been fucked around his whole life
1205
01:25:25,161 --> 01:25:27,996
by his father, by his priest.
This kid does not deserve to die,
1206
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:31,833
and it's our job to make sure that a jury
believes he doesn't deserve to die.
1207
01:25:31,917 --> 01:25:34,211
- Okay.
- Okay. How do we do it?
1208
01:25:36,213 --> 01:25:39,216
By somehow introducing
this whole abuse thing.
1209
01:25:45,890 --> 01:25:47,849
- The tape.
- What about the tape?
1210
01:25:47,933 --> 01:25:50,477
That's crazy. That gives him motive.
1211
01:25:50,561 --> 01:25:53,064
No, it looks like that, but it's...
1212
01:25:53,606 --> 01:25:57,651
No, actually, what it does is,
it turns this whole thing around.
1213
01:25:57,735 --> 01:26:02,072
It gives concrete documentation
of what Rushman did to this kid.
1214
01:26:02,156 --> 01:26:04,742
But we can't put it in. You know that.
1215
01:26:06,243 --> 01:26:08,120
But we're not going to.
1216
01:26:15,127 --> 01:26:16,921
Oh, fuck!
1217
01:26:24,804 --> 01:26:27,765
- Okay. Okay.
- Good.
1218
01:27:02,967 --> 01:27:04,551
- Yeah.
- What the hell are you doing?
1219
01:27:04,635 --> 01:27:06,887
- Who is this?
- You know damn well who it is.
1220
01:27:06,971 --> 01:27:09,306
- Barleycorn's, Marty. Now.
- Janet?
1221
01:27:10,182 --> 01:27:12,685
Cute porno. Part of your collection?
1222
01:27:26,449 --> 01:27:27,491
Hey.
1223
01:27:29,618 --> 01:27:32,079
Where did you get it? You steal it
1224
01:27:32,163 --> 01:27:34,289
- from the crime scene?
- I don't know anything about this tape.
1225
01:27:34,373 --> 01:27:36,249
- You are such a liar.
- Think about it.
1226
01:27:36,333 --> 01:27:38,085
- I have.
- Look, if this tape really has on it
1227
01:27:38,169 --> 01:27:39,169
what you say it does,
1228
01:27:39,253 --> 01:27:40,921
last thing I'd do is give it to you.
It gives you motive.
1229
01:27:41,005 --> 01:27:42,839
- You had to give it to me.
- Why?
1230
01:27:42,923 --> 01:27:45,342
You couldn't introduce it in court.
The jury would despise you for it,
1231
01:27:45,426 --> 01:27:47,135
for dishonoring the Bishop's memory.
1232
01:27:47,219 --> 01:27:51,640
But if you get me to show it, motive or
no motive, I'm the one who looks bad,
1233
01:27:51,724 --> 01:27:55,269
and you gain sympathy
for your poor little abused boy.
1234
01:27:56,854 --> 01:27:59,190
- You think so?
- I hate you.
1235
01:28:01,817 --> 01:28:03,277
Don't use it.
1236
01:28:05,196 --> 01:28:07,531
I have no intention of using it.
1237
01:28:09,700 --> 01:28:11,869
- The usual, Stu.
- You got it.
1238
01:28:18,209 --> 01:28:19,960
You're up to even more than that,
aren't you?
1239
01:28:20,044 --> 01:28:21,336
I'm not up to anything.
1240
01:28:21,420 --> 01:28:23,630
You're opening a door, you think
I'm going to walk through it?
1241
01:28:23,714 --> 01:28:25,674
There's going to be a tiger
on the other end, and I don't...
1242
01:28:25,758 --> 01:28:27,300
You know who'd be really upset
if you used it?
1243
01:28:27,384 --> 01:28:28,802
- I just told you...
- Shaughnessy.
1244
01:28:28,886 --> 01:28:30,721
- Fuck him.
- Fuck him?
1245
01:28:30,805 --> 01:28:32,056
Fuck you.
1246
01:28:36,227 --> 01:28:37,686
Thanks a lot.
1247
01:28:40,689 --> 01:28:43,233
All right, if this is not your motive,
what is?
1248
01:28:43,317 --> 01:28:44,902
I have motive.
1249
01:28:45,361 --> 01:28:46,987
Yeah, what is it?
1250
01:28:48,572 --> 01:28:50,574
I'm really gonna tell you.
1251
01:28:51,450 --> 01:28:54,035
Well, you better tell the jury
pretty soon. Time's running out.
1252
01:28:54,119 --> 01:28:55,538
Here you go.
1253
01:28:58,082 --> 01:29:00,292
You think you've got me.
1254
01:29:02,378 --> 01:29:07,800
You think because you know me as
well as you do, you know how I think.
1255
01:29:08,759 --> 01:29:11,262
Well, I know how you think.
1256
01:29:17,184 --> 01:29:19,270
You know what I'm thinking?
1257
01:29:25,150 --> 01:29:27,278
What happened to your face?
1258
01:29:29,697 --> 01:29:32,116
I bumped it into a medicine cabinet.
1259
01:29:37,079 --> 01:29:39,915
No, Marty,
that was a girl on her way out.
1260
01:29:46,005 --> 01:29:48,048
Maybe we should come back here later.
1261
01:29:48,132 --> 01:29:49,758
Later? Well, they close in 10 minutes.
1262
01:29:49,842 --> 01:29:51,176
No, after.
1263
01:29:52,136 --> 01:29:53,762
After the trial.
1264
01:29:55,472 --> 01:29:57,600
When we've got nothing to lose.
1265
01:30:01,645 --> 01:30:04,773
How can your timing
be so good in a courtroom
1266
01:30:04,857 --> 01:30:07,359
and so bad in real life?
1267
01:30:10,404 --> 01:30:13,991
I'll think about it later.
I hate you too much right now.
1268
01:30:26,211 --> 01:30:27,463
You got a visitor.
1269
01:30:29,214 --> 01:30:30,633
Here she comes.
1270
01:30:33,135 --> 01:30:34,845
- Talk to you later.
- Okay.
1271
01:30:35,930 --> 01:30:36,931
Janet.
1272
01:30:38,015 --> 01:30:39,183
Morning.
1273
01:30:43,687 --> 01:30:45,189
So where's the tape?
1274
01:30:46,190 --> 01:30:48,359
There's some pretty ugly stuff
on that tape.
1275
01:30:49,026 --> 01:30:52,196
- Yes, there is.
- Who would've thought?
1276
01:30:54,365 --> 01:30:58,159
- Where did it come from?
- Landed on my front door last night.
1277
01:30:58,243 --> 01:30:59,662
- No note.
- Vail?
1278
01:31:00,162 --> 01:31:02,373
- Who else?
- Clever prick.
1279
01:31:03,666 --> 01:31:05,501
What do you think he's up to?
1280
01:31:06,293 --> 01:31:08,169
- I honestly don't know.
- Cut the crap, Janet.
1281
01:31:08,253 --> 01:31:11,903
You know him pretty goddamn well.
You were balling him, for Christ's sake.
1282
01:31:13,550 --> 01:31:15,678
- Where is it?
- At home.
1283
01:31:18,889 --> 01:31:21,141
I have some advice for you.
1284
01:31:21,558 --> 01:31:25,520
My advice for you, if you really have
aspirations beyond this particular office,
1285
01:31:25,604 --> 01:31:29,399
is to pick up that little handbag of yours,
go home right now and destroy this tape
1286
01:31:29,483 --> 01:31:32,633
you should've destroyed, like I did,
the minute you received it.
1287
01:31:33,988 --> 01:31:35,739
You don't think Vail has a copy?
1288
01:31:36,281 --> 01:31:38,492
You don't think there's an original?
1289
01:31:42,413 --> 01:31:45,374
It's Stampler that's on trial,
not the Catholic Church,
1290
01:31:45,499 --> 01:31:49,149
and if you haven't found another motive
to hang him on, then God help you.
1291
01:32:00,305 --> 01:32:01,640
All rise.
1292
01:32:04,018 --> 01:32:05,519
Please, sit down.
1293
01:32:10,774 --> 01:32:11,900
Madam Prosecutor.
1294
01:32:18,782 --> 01:32:19,992
Miss Venable.
1295
01:32:21,952 --> 01:32:23,620
The State calls Thomas Goodman.
1296
01:32:25,539 --> 01:32:26,790
Objection, Your Honor.
1297
01:32:26,874 --> 01:32:28,041
Prosecution knows full well
1298
01:32:28,125 --> 01:32:30,752
that Mr. Goodman is my investigator
in this case,
1299
01:32:30,836 --> 01:32:34,005
and under the Work Product Rule,
he can't be compelled to testify.
1300
01:32:34,089 --> 01:32:35,548
Permission to approach the bench,
Your Honor?
1301
01:32:35,632 --> 01:32:36,884
Granted.
1302
01:32:43,599 --> 01:32:45,642
Important evidence has just
come into my possession
1303
01:32:45,726 --> 01:32:47,644
which I believe
this witness can authenticate.
1304
01:32:47,728 --> 01:32:51,147
That's Mr. Vail's privilege. If Mr. Vail
doesn't want Mr. Goodman to testify,
1305
01:32:51,231 --> 01:32:53,066
Mr. Goodman doesn't testify.
1306
01:32:53,150 --> 01:32:54,818
Make a decision, Mr. Vail.
1307
01:32:58,697 --> 01:33:01,158
Mr. Goodman, have you ever been
to my apartment?
1308
01:33:01,408 --> 01:33:03,952
- No.
- By that I mean my apartment building.
1309
01:33:04,828 --> 01:33:05,912
Allegedly.
1310
01:33:05,996 --> 01:33:08,581
I'm sorry, you're confused.
Either you have or you haven't.
1311
01:33:08,665 --> 01:33:10,667
"Allegedly" doesn't figure into it.
1312
01:33:11,085 --> 01:33:14,587
I have been there, yes.
1313
01:33:14,671 --> 01:33:18,341
- Why did you go there?
- I was delivering something.
1314
01:33:18,425 --> 01:33:19,635
For whom?
1315
01:33:22,179 --> 01:33:23,347
Martin Vail.
1316
01:33:23,847 --> 01:33:27,892
Mr. Vail sent you
to deliver something to me.
1317
01:33:27,976 --> 01:33:29,686
- Yes.
- What was it?
1318
01:33:32,106 --> 01:33:33,273
A videotape.
1319
01:33:33,357 --> 01:33:36,484
Could this have been the tape
you delivered for Mr. Vail?
1320
01:33:36,568 --> 01:33:38,653
I have a feeling it is, yes.
1321
01:33:38,737 --> 01:33:40,947
The People place
this half-inch videocassette tape
1322
01:33:41,031 --> 01:33:43,783
- in evidence, Your Honor.
- So ordered. Bailiff, please index.
1323
01:33:43,867 --> 01:33:48,038
Now, where did Mr. Vail get this tape,
if it is indeed the same one?
1324
01:33:48,122 --> 01:33:52,333
He took it from the closet
of Archbishop Rushman.
1325
01:33:52,417 --> 01:33:54,169
- He stole it.
- No, no, he borrowed it.
1326
01:33:54,253 --> 01:33:57,131
Once I made the transfer for him,
I returned it, so...
1327
01:33:58,006 --> 01:34:00,759
Can you describe for me
what's on this tape?
1328
01:34:00,843 --> 01:34:03,845
There was a sermon
by Archbishop Rushman on it,
1329
01:34:03,929 --> 01:34:07,349
a rehearsal of a sermon, I should say,
followed by...
1330
01:34:10,519 --> 01:34:14,148
- a kind of home movie.
- A home movie? Of what?
1331
01:34:14,523 --> 01:34:16,400
- Some altar boys.
- And?
1332
01:34:17,568 --> 01:34:19,570
- A girl.
- Doing what?
1333
01:34:21,989 --> 01:34:24,533
An altar-boy lesson of some kind?
1334
01:34:26,869 --> 01:34:28,537
Having sex.
1335
01:34:30,414 --> 01:34:31,498
Quiet.
1336
01:34:32,040 --> 01:34:33,500
A porno movie.
1337
01:34:34,126 --> 01:34:37,003
- Yes.
- Yes. Now.
1338
01:34:37,087 --> 01:34:42,008
How is it, do you think,
that this tape, this porno tape,
1339
01:34:42,092 --> 01:34:46,221
was in the Archbishop's closet
in order for Mr. Vail to find it there?
1340
01:34:46,305 --> 01:34:50,350
- He was the... The director.
- Who was?
1341
01:34:50,434 --> 01:34:53,437
- Archbishop Rushman.
- Quiet in the court!
1342
01:34:55,898 --> 01:34:58,900
And was the defendant
one of the altar boys
1343
01:34:58,984 --> 01:35:01,778
performing in the Archbishop's
home movie?
1344
01:35:02,779 --> 01:35:05,240
- Yes, he was.
- Was his girlfriend?
1345
01:35:05,324 --> 01:35:07,576
I believe her name is Linda Forbes.
1346
01:35:08,285 --> 01:35:09,786
Yes, she was.
1347
01:35:10,037 --> 01:35:13,748
And did it appear to you
that the defendant was enjoying
1348
01:35:13,832 --> 01:35:16,668
performing in this film
with his girlfriend?
1349
01:35:16,752 --> 01:35:18,879
No, he does not.
1350
01:35:19,463 --> 01:35:21,256
I will not ask you, Mr. Goodman,
1351
01:35:21,340 --> 01:35:24,217
if you think we have just
uncovered motive here.
1352
01:35:24,301 --> 01:35:27,804
We will decide that for ourselves
once we've all seen the videotape.
1353
01:35:29,139 --> 01:35:30,599
No further questions.
1354
01:35:33,143 --> 01:35:35,270
Does Defense wish to cross?
1355
01:35:38,857 --> 01:35:41,860
- No, Your Honor.
- Court's in recess.
1356
01:35:41,985 --> 01:35:45,405
Bailiff, please set up for the tape.
Mr. Goodman, you're excused.
1357
01:35:49,993 --> 01:35:51,828
Thanks for the advice.
1358
01:35:57,584 --> 01:36:01,546
- Mr. Vail said she was your girlfriend.
- Yes. Yes, she was.
1359
01:36:01,630 --> 01:36:05,008
- How'd you meet?
- We was both at the Savior House.
1360
01:36:06,802 --> 01:36:09,179
I was an altar boy,
1361
01:36:09,263 --> 01:36:14,685
and she was working for Bishop Rushman.
1362
01:36:14,893 --> 01:36:15,936
Doing what?
1363
01:36:22,401 --> 01:36:24,861
Were you sleeping
with anyone else at the time?
1364
01:36:25,862 --> 01:36:28,573
- No.
- Was she?
1365
01:36:30,367 --> 01:36:32,369
No.
1366
01:36:34,705 --> 01:36:36,540
Has she been to see you, Aaron?
1367
01:36:37,499 --> 01:36:41,253
- Yeah? No, I'm still here.
- No.
1368
01:36:43,380 --> 01:36:45,716
- What?
- Does that upset you?
1369
01:37:07,988 --> 01:37:09,406
Okay.
1370
01:37:28,675 --> 01:37:32,137
Mr. Vail, are you prepared to proceed
with your first witness?
1371
01:37:44,941 --> 01:37:48,070
Yes, Your Honor.
The Defense calls John Shaughnessy.
1372
01:37:53,617 --> 01:37:55,034
The People object, Your Honor.
1373
01:37:55,118 --> 01:37:57,120
Mr. Shaughnessy has never been
identified as a possible witness.
1374
01:37:57,204 --> 01:37:58,997
- Your Honor, may I approach?
- Yes, you may.
1375
01:37:59,081 --> 01:38:00,457
Thank you.
1376
01:38:04,044 --> 01:38:07,213
My client is on trial for his life, here.
He's always maintained that there was
1377
01:38:07,297 --> 01:38:09,966
- someone else in that bedroom.
- And you think Mr. Shaughnessy
1378
01:38:10,050 --> 01:38:11,342
can somehow confirm that?
1379
01:38:11,426 --> 01:38:13,386
Your Honor,
the Constitution of the United States
1380
01:38:13,470 --> 01:38:14,887
takes precedence here,
1381
01:38:14,971 --> 01:38:18,057
permitting the calling of any witness
to promulgate evidence of innocence.
1382
01:38:18,141 --> 01:38:20,518
That's clearly stated
in the Sixth Amendment.
1383
01:38:20,602 --> 01:38:22,938
It's also profound in Brady vs. Maryland.
1384
01:38:25,065 --> 01:38:27,483
Mr. Shaughnessy,
do you serve on the board
1385
01:38:27,567 --> 01:38:30,445
of an organization known
as the Rushman Foundation?
1386
01:38:30,529 --> 01:38:32,655
I have the privilege to be
an honorary board member.
1387
01:38:32,739 --> 01:38:35,825
Could you briefly explain the nature
and purpose of this foundation?
1388
01:38:35,909 --> 01:38:38,786
The Rushman Foundation was founded
by the late archbishop.
1389
01:38:38,870 --> 01:38:43,249
Its purpose is to invest in projects
for the greater good of the community.
1390
01:38:43,333 --> 01:38:45,669
The greater good of the community, okay.
1391
01:38:46,169 --> 01:38:50,631
Now, would that be true
in the case of the now bankrupt
1392
01:38:50,715 --> 01:38:53,760
- South River Housing Development?
- Yes.
1393
01:38:53,844 --> 01:38:58,140
Could you tell the court why the
South River project was abandoned?
1394
01:38:58,265 --> 01:39:01,351
There was a difference of opinion
as to the costs.
1395
01:39:01,435 --> 01:39:04,062
Wasn't there also a difference of opinion
1396
01:39:04,146 --> 01:39:07,440
between the investors
and the late archbishop himself?
1397
01:39:07,524 --> 01:39:10,527
- I don't recall.
- Well...
1398
01:39:11,862 --> 01:39:14,562
What kind of money
are we talking about here? I mean...
1399
01:39:17,492 --> 01:39:19,869
How much money, Mr. Shaughnessy,
1400
01:39:19,953 --> 01:39:24,833
was invested in this failed
South River enterprise?
1401
01:39:28,128 --> 01:39:31,297
- $60 million.
- Quiet.
1402
01:39:31,381 --> 01:39:33,758
$60 million!
1403
01:39:35,302 --> 01:39:37,262
Wow, that's a lot of money.
1404
01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:41,641
You and the Archbishop
have been friends for, what, 20 years?
1405
01:39:41,725 --> 01:39:44,143
I think it's safe to say the two of you
knew each other really well.
1406
01:39:44,227 --> 01:39:45,228
That's right.
1407
01:39:45,312 --> 01:39:47,105
Were you surprised at the content
of that tape
1408
01:39:47,189 --> 01:39:49,148
- that Miss Venable submitted?
- Yes, of course I was.
1409
01:39:49,232 --> 01:39:51,150
So you've never heard any allegations,
1410
01:39:51,234 --> 01:39:53,319
charges against the Archbishop
during that time?
1411
01:39:53,403 --> 01:39:54,862
Not that I recall, no.
1412
01:39:54,946 --> 01:39:58,324
No, especially since you were the
State's Attorney for the last 15 years,
1413
01:39:58,408 --> 01:40:01,661
it'd be fair to say that you've supervised
all the prosecutions
1414
01:40:01,745 --> 01:40:03,287
in Cook County during that time,
1415
01:40:03,371 --> 01:40:06,332
especially the prosecutions
of all the prominent figures.
1416
01:40:06,416 --> 01:40:09,627
I also have a staff of 1,000
of the best prosecutors...
1417
01:40:09,711 --> 01:40:14,715
Yeah, yeah, but as State's Attorney,
it was up to you, ultimately, to decide
1418
01:40:14,799 --> 01:40:16,342
who would be indicted and who wouldn't.
1419
01:40:16,426 --> 01:40:18,094
- Yes.
- Yeah. Okay.
1420
01:40:20,347 --> 01:40:23,015
Let me just take you back now.
1421
01:40:23,099 --> 01:40:27,729
Let's go back to June, 1985.
1422
01:40:28,063 --> 01:40:31,482
Do you recall any allegations
of sexual misconduct
1423
01:40:31,566 --> 01:40:35,027
- against the Archbishop at that time?
- I don't recall that, no.
1424
01:40:35,111 --> 01:40:39,490
No? Do you recall a young man
by the name of Michael O'Donnell
1425
01:40:39,574 --> 01:40:44,120
who came to the felony review unit
at your office?
1426
01:40:48,667 --> 01:40:50,209
I have no idea what you're talking about,
1427
01:40:50,293 --> 01:40:51,669
- Counselor.
- You don't?
1428
01:40:51,753 --> 01:40:53,379
This is so confusing to me,
1429
01:40:53,463 --> 01:40:56,382
because I have this document here
1430
01:40:56,466 --> 01:40:58,759
from the Chicago Metropolitan
Police Department,
1431
01:40:58,843 --> 01:41:02,889
and it says that, yes, Michael O'Donnell
spoke to the supervisor of that unit
1432
01:41:02,973 --> 01:41:06,726
over a period of two weeks,
explaining to him, in graphic detail,
1433
01:41:06,810 --> 01:41:10,438
sexual abuse he suffered
at the hands of Archbishop Rushman.
1434
01:41:10,522 --> 01:41:11,522
Quiet.
1435
01:41:11,606 --> 01:41:15,735
Isn't it also true, Mr. State's Attorney,
that you then decided that your friend,
1436
01:41:15,819 --> 01:41:19,322
Archbishop Rushman, was not going
to stand trial for any of it?
1437
01:41:20,907 --> 01:41:22,993
He owed you big time, John.
1438
01:41:23,243 --> 01:41:26,830
You must have been really pissed off
when he pulled out of South River.
1439
01:41:27,163 --> 01:41:28,331
What happened? What was it?
1440
01:41:28,415 --> 01:41:31,042
He just finally said,
"I can't take it anymore"? He said, "No!"
1441
01:41:31,126 --> 01:41:33,461
- Mr. Vail.
- So you and your investors...
1442
01:41:33,545 --> 01:41:35,796
- Mr. Vail.
- ...had 60 million reasons to kill him!
1443
01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:38,382
- You little cocksucker!
- That's it. Witness dismissed.
1444
01:41:38,466 --> 01:41:41,093
This court's in recess.
Vail, in my chambers now.
1445
01:41:41,177 --> 01:41:44,055
That's for Joey Pinero,
you little shithead.
1446
01:41:48,184 --> 01:41:49,853
Start looking for a job.
1447
01:41:59,904 --> 01:42:03,574
If you think you can use my courtroom
to wage personal vendettas
1448
01:42:03,658 --> 01:42:06,703
and settle old scores,
you are sorely mistaken.
1449
01:42:07,287 --> 01:42:10,581
I'm striking Shaughnessy's testimony
from the record as irrelevant,
1450
01:42:10,665 --> 01:42:13,543
and I'm holding you in contempt
to the tune of $10,000.
1451
01:42:14,210 --> 01:42:17,797
So what you're telling me is, I can't get
a fair trial in your courtroom, is that it?
1452
01:42:17,881 --> 01:42:21,509
Be very, very careful, Mr. Vail.
You're on dangerous ground here.
1453
01:42:21,593 --> 01:42:24,303
Fine, fine. You want me to make
that check out to you, Judge?
1454
01:42:24,387 --> 01:42:26,598
Do you want me to take you off this case?
1455
01:42:26,931 --> 01:42:30,602
You're making a mockery of my
courtroom, and I'm not going to allow it.
1456
01:42:30,769 --> 01:42:35,899
I suggest you start representing your
client and stop representing yourself.
1457
01:42:44,949 --> 01:42:46,033
...do this later?
1458
01:42:46,117 --> 01:42:48,912
No, I want to stay with this for a minute.
1459
01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:54,084
- I'm feeling very, very tired.
- Yeah, I know.
1460
01:42:54,417 --> 01:42:57,087
Why does talking
about Linda Forbes upset you?
1461
01:42:58,213 --> 01:42:59,839
It doesn't. I just...
1462
01:43:00,965 --> 01:43:04,135
- Okay, okay.
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
1463
01:43:07,555 --> 01:43:09,890
Hey, you know what I can do
with this thing?
1464
01:43:09,974 --> 01:43:11,768
How the fuck should I know?
1465
01:43:20,944 --> 01:43:24,864
Dr. Arrington, how much time
have you spent with Aaron Stampler?
1466
01:43:25,156 --> 01:43:26,616
Around 60 hours.
1467
01:43:26,700 --> 01:43:29,535
And what did you find
in the course of your evaluation?
1468
01:43:29,619 --> 01:43:33,372
I found that Mr. Stampler suffers from
an acute disassociative condition,
1469
01:43:33,456 --> 01:43:35,875
specifically,
multiple personality disorder.
1470
01:43:35,959 --> 01:43:37,126
Objection, Your Honor.
1471
01:43:37,210 --> 01:43:40,212
Now, Dr. Arrington is only stating what
she herself has personally observed.
1472
01:43:40,296 --> 01:43:42,173
- Your Honor.
- Counselors.
1473
01:43:44,217 --> 01:43:47,517
- Now, I know what you're doing.
- Will you excuse us for a minute?
1474
01:43:49,806 --> 01:43:51,807
Your Honor, if he wants to question
his client's sanity...
1475
01:43:51,891 --> 01:43:55,186
Your Honor, I'm trying to establish
a medical basis for amnesia here.
1476
01:43:55,270 --> 01:43:58,398
That is not what he's doing.
He's saying he's crazy.
1477
01:43:58,773 --> 01:44:02,318
- Are you?
- No, I am not.
1478
01:44:02,402 --> 01:44:06,572
I'll allow you to proceed with
this witness if you're very, very careful.
1479
01:44:06,656 --> 01:44:09,825
Absolutely. Yes.
1480
01:44:09,909 --> 01:44:12,036
Write down that he said that.
1481
01:44:12,537 --> 01:44:14,038
All right, where were we?
1482
01:44:19,419 --> 01:44:23,130
Now, could Aaron Stampler
1483
01:44:23,214 --> 01:44:27,760
have been present during the murder
of Archbishop Rushman
1484
01:44:27,844 --> 01:44:29,845
- and not remember it?
- Yes, he could.
1485
01:44:29,929 --> 01:44:32,015
Okay. Could you explain that, please?
1486
01:44:32,223 --> 01:44:34,767
Mr. Stampler's state at the time
of the offense was such that
1487
01:44:34,851 --> 01:44:36,936
his body could be present at a homicide
1488
01:44:37,020 --> 01:44:39,439
and yet his mind
would be unable to recall it.
1489
01:44:39,856 --> 01:44:42,358
- And how is that possible?
- The neurological mechanism
1490
01:44:42,442 --> 01:44:45,194
that would make this possible
began with the early abuse
1491
01:44:45,278 --> 01:44:47,029
suffered at the hands of his father.
1492
01:44:47,113 --> 01:44:49,532
In defense, Aaron's psyche splintered
1493
01:44:49,616 --> 01:44:52,576
and helped him to create
two separate personalities.
1494
01:44:52,660 --> 01:44:54,704
- Your Honor.
- I didn't say it.
1495
01:44:54,788 --> 01:44:57,456
- I did not say it...
- You've been warned twice now.
1496
01:44:57,540 --> 01:44:59,500
Do you really wanna pursue
this line of questioning?
1497
01:44:59,584 --> 01:45:03,046
And I suggest you think long and hard
before answering.
1498
01:45:05,715 --> 01:45:08,259
Your Honor, just one last question.
1499
01:45:13,181 --> 01:45:15,225
All right, Dr. Arrington...
1500
01:45:16,684 --> 01:45:21,647
in your opinion,
is Aaron Stampler capable of murder?
1501
01:45:21,731 --> 01:45:23,566
No, he is not. He is far too traumatized
1502
01:45:23,650 --> 01:45:25,818
to express normal anger and frustration.
1503
01:45:25,902 --> 01:45:27,987
He keeps his emotions repressed,
1504
01:45:28,071 --> 01:45:30,656
which is why he created Roy,
who is capable of such a crime.
1505
01:45:30,740 --> 01:45:33,243
- Objection, Your Honor.
- That's enough, Mr. Vail.
1506
01:45:33,368 --> 01:45:37,037
The jury will disregard this witness'
last statement, as will the court.
1507
01:45:37,121 --> 01:45:38,414
- Thank you very much.
- Madam Prosecutor,
1508
01:45:38,498 --> 01:45:41,042
- do you wish to cross?
- You bet I do.
1509
01:45:43,419 --> 01:45:46,839
Since you brought it up,
against the instructions of the court,
1510
01:45:46,923 --> 01:45:48,340
I'm curious to know,
1511
01:45:48,424 --> 01:45:51,844
is multiple personality disorder
your primary area of expertise?
1512
01:45:51,928 --> 01:45:53,971
It's not my primary field, no.
1513
01:45:54,055 --> 01:45:57,600
Is forensic psychiatry
your primary area of expertise?
1514
01:45:58,101 --> 01:46:00,603
- No, I'm a neuropsychologist.
- I see.
1515
01:46:01,020 --> 01:46:03,939
So you have no forensic experience,
1516
01:46:04,023 --> 01:46:07,610
and you're more of, let's say,
an academic?
1517
01:46:08,987 --> 01:46:12,282
Then you will forgive
this rather academic question.
1518
01:46:12,949 --> 01:46:15,993
I'm driving in my car,
somebody cuts me off.
1519
01:46:16,077 --> 01:46:18,037
I think to myself,
"I could just kill that guy,"
1520
01:46:18,121 --> 01:46:19,705
but I don't, now do I?
1521
01:46:19,789 --> 01:46:21,624
- I would hope not.
- That's right.
1522
01:46:21,708 --> 01:46:25,377
Things happen to us. People wrong us,
1523
01:46:25,461 --> 01:46:27,922
but we don't all go around
inventing psychopaths
1524
01:46:28,006 --> 01:46:30,007
to do our dirty work for us,
now, do we, Doctor?
1525
01:46:30,091 --> 01:46:33,260
I'm not suggesting you suffer from
multiple personality, Miss Venable.
1526
01:46:33,344 --> 01:46:36,222
- I'm saying Mr. Stampler does.
- Yes, I know. We heard.
1527
01:46:38,182 --> 01:46:42,478
You have also testified
that you have met this...
1528
01:46:42,562 --> 01:46:43,896
What was his name again?
1529
01:46:43,980 --> 01:46:45,398
- Roy.
- Roy what?
1530
01:46:45,982 --> 01:46:48,234
- He didn't give a last name.
- I see.
1531
01:46:48,318 --> 01:46:52,404
Did this Roy tell you
that he had murdered the Archbishop?
1532
01:46:52,488 --> 01:46:55,115
Mr. Vail was alone with him at the time.
I was watching through the window,
1533
01:46:55,199 --> 01:46:58,369
but soon after that I was in the room
and saw both Roy
1534
01:46:58,453 --> 01:47:00,788
and his transformation back to Aaron.
1535
01:47:01,664 --> 01:47:07,253
Did you happen to tape
this appearance of Aaron...
1536
01:47:08,671 --> 01:47:13,175
I'm sorry. I am sorry.
I just cannot get used to this name.
1537
01:47:13,259 --> 01:47:15,678
- Roy.
- Did you?
1538
01:47:17,472 --> 01:47:20,183
- No, the tape was off.
- Off?
1539
01:47:22,393 --> 01:47:27,398
So you have no record whatsoever
of his appearance.
1540
01:47:27,690 --> 01:47:28,942
- No.
- No.
1541
01:47:31,361 --> 01:47:34,113
Does Aaron Stampler know
the difference between right and wrong?
1542
01:47:34,197 --> 01:47:35,239
Yes, he does.
1543
01:47:35,323 --> 01:47:38,075
If Aaron Stampler butchered
the Archbishop, would he know...
1544
01:47:38,159 --> 01:47:39,285
Objection, Your Honor.
1545
01:47:39,369 --> 01:47:42,746
If Aaron Stampler
murdered the Archbishop,
1546
01:47:42,830 --> 01:47:47,251
- would he know he'd broken the law?
- Yes, he would, but it wasn't Aaron...
1547
01:47:47,377 --> 01:47:51,464
Yes, I know, Doctor. It was Roy.
1548
01:47:54,759 --> 01:47:58,054
That's all.
No further questions, Your Honor.
1549
01:47:58,179 --> 01:47:59,638
Witness may step down.
1550
01:47:59,722 --> 01:48:02,725
Miss Venable, if you would like to
re-open the Prosecution's case
1551
01:48:02,809 --> 01:48:04,310
and call the State's psychiatrist,
1552
01:48:04,394 --> 01:48:07,563
- I will certainly agree to it.
- No, I...
1553
01:48:07,647 --> 01:48:09,231
I don't think that's necessary,
Your Honor.
1554
01:48:09,315 --> 01:48:11,115
I think we all get the picture here.
1555
01:48:11,901 --> 01:48:15,321
Mr. Vail, are you ready to proceed?
1556
01:48:18,116 --> 01:48:19,909
Would you like a recess?
1557
01:49:25,224 --> 01:49:26,309
Roy?
1558
01:49:27,810 --> 01:49:28,978
Aaron.
1559
01:49:32,940 --> 01:49:35,025
Could you tell us a little about
your relationship
1560
01:49:35,109 --> 01:49:36,986
with Archbishop Rushman?
1561
01:49:37,570 --> 01:49:42,282
Well, he was like a father to me.
I loved him very much.
1562
01:49:42,366 --> 01:49:44,077
Why did you love him?
1563
01:49:44,660 --> 01:49:45,828
Why?
1564
01:49:47,121 --> 01:49:51,084
Well, he saved my life.
1565
01:49:51,334 --> 01:49:56,297
He was the only person who ever
treated me like I was worth anything.
1566
01:49:56,672 --> 01:49:59,425
Stop your whining, you little girl.
Be a man.
1567
01:50:03,179 --> 01:50:06,516
Now, we've all seen that tape
that you were in, Aaron.
1568
01:50:07,475 --> 01:50:08,851
How did that make you feel?
1569
01:50:08,935 --> 01:50:11,729
Did it change your feelings
about Archbishop Rushman?
1570
01:50:12,021 --> 01:50:13,022
No.
1571
01:50:14,398 --> 01:50:17,192
He was a wonderful man.
1572
01:50:17,276 --> 01:50:18,902
So you didn't feel anger towards him
1573
01:50:18,986 --> 01:50:21,364
about being forced to perform
in that tape?
1574
01:50:22,031 --> 01:50:25,868
No, he did everything for me.
1575
01:50:26,035 --> 01:50:29,121
There wasn't nothing else
I could do for him, and he needed it.
1576
01:50:29,205 --> 01:50:31,457
Do you know someone named Roy?
1577
01:50:34,502 --> 01:50:35,878
No, I don't.
1578
01:50:36,629 --> 01:50:39,423
You heard Dr. Arrington's
testimony about
1579
01:50:39,507 --> 01:50:41,759
what she and I saw there at the jail.
1580
01:50:42,218 --> 01:50:45,054
Aaron, some pretty strange things
going on there. Do you remember?
1581
01:50:45,138 --> 01:50:47,514
I heard what she said,
but I don't remember any of that.
1582
01:50:47,598 --> 01:50:49,433
- No recollection?
- No, sir.
1583
01:50:49,517 --> 01:50:51,853
Did you kill Archbishop Rushman?
1584
01:50:53,855 --> 01:50:55,731
No, sir, I did not.
1585
01:51:01,696 --> 01:51:02,780
Thank you.
1586
01:51:05,616 --> 01:51:07,076
Your witness.
1587
01:51:14,584 --> 01:51:17,211
Mr. Stampler,
would you like some water?
1588
01:51:21,215 --> 01:51:23,759
- No, ma'am.
- You sure?
1589
01:51:25,428 --> 01:51:27,471
Yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am.
1590
01:51:35,396 --> 01:51:39,525
Mr. Stampler, did you believe
that the Archbishop wore masks?
1591
01:51:42,653 --> 01:51:44,780
I'm sorry, what did you say?
1592
01:51:45,072 --> 01:51:49,202
Do you think he acted one way
in public and another way in private?
1593
01:51:50,244 --> 01:51:52,246
No, I didn't think that.
1594
01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:55,630
Isn't that why you underlined
the Hawthorne passage?
1595
01:51:58,002 --> 01:51:59,420
Mr. Stampler?
1596
01:52:02,381 --> 01:52:04,341
No, I did not underline that book.
1597
01:52:04,425 --> 01:52:07,136
- You didn't underline it?
- No, ma'am.
1598
01:52:07,220 --> 01:52:10,764
And you didn't carve the numbers
referring to that passage into his chest?
1599
01:52:10,848 --> 01:52:14,726
No, no, ma'am, I did not. I told you I...
1600
01:52:14,810 --> 01:52:16,312
You loved him.
1601
01:52:17,730 --> 01:52:19,857
You loved him like a father.
1602
01:52:20,149 --> 01:52:23,652
Even though he made you
and your girlfriend
1603
01:52:23,736 --> 01:52:27,156
perform demeaning sexual acts
for his own gratification.
1604
01:52:27,698 --> 01:52:29,951
No, you don't understand. He...
1605
01:52:30,993 --> 01:52:35,080
There was no other way for him
to cast out his own demons.
1606
01:52:35,164 --> 01:52:37,708
- He needed it.
- He needed to get off, Aaron.
1607
01:52:37,792 --> 01:52:39,126
That's what he was doing.
1608
01:52:39,210 --> 01:52:43,422
That's what he needed you for,
to perform like a circus animal.
1609
01:52:43,506 --> 01:52:46,216
- That was your function in his life.
- No.
1610
01:52:46,300 --> 01:52:50,095
Mr. Stampler, I'm gonna ask you
straight, because I am tired,
1611
01:52:50,179 --> 01:52:52,639
and I've had just about
all I can take of this sordidness,
1612
01:52:52,723 --> 01:52:53,932
and I wanna go home,
1613
01:52:54,016 --> 01:52:58,270
and I wanna wash my hands,
and I wanna forget all about you
1614
01:52:58,354 --> 01:53:00,439
and Archbishop Rushman.
1615
01:53:00,523 --> 01:53:04,359
Did the Archbishop force you
and your girlfriend and others
1616
01:53:04,443 --> 01:53:08,281
to perform sexual acts
while he watched? Yes or no?
1617
01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:14,120
- Yes, he did, but...
- Yes. Yes, he forced you.
1618
01:53:14,537 --> 01:53:18,207
He forced you using a threat
of expulsion from Savior House
1619
01:53:18,291 --> 01:53:22,669
and a life on the street with no heat
and no water and no food.
1620
01:53:22,753 --> 01:53:26,840
He put you in front of a camera!
He made you take off your clothes!
1621
01:53:26,924 --> 01:53:29,677
And you don't think that
that's another side?
1622
01:53:30,136 --> 01:53:31,929
Another face of a man
that we all thought...
1623
01:53:32,013 --> 01:53:33,889
- No! No.
- Do you know what I would do
1624
01:53:33,973 --> 01:53:36,475
if someone did that to me?
I would kill him. I wouldn't hesitate.
1625
01:53:36,559 --> 01:53:38,018
- No.
- I would stab him
1626
01:53:38,102 --> 01:53:39,895
78 times with a butcher knife!
1627
01:53:39,979 --> 01:53:43,148
I would chop off his fingers!
I would slash his throat open!
1628
01:53:43,232 --> 01:53:44,983
I would carve numbers into his chest!
1629
01:53:45,067 --> 01:53:48,112
I would gouge out his eyes!
I swear to God.
1630
01:53:50,239 --> 01:53:51,741
But that's me.
1631
01:54:00,750 --> 01:54:02,000
No further questions, Your Honor.
1632
01:54:02,084 --> 01:54:03,502
Where the hell do you think you're going?
1633
01:54:03,586 --> 01:54:04,795
- Excuse me?
- Hey, you look at me
1634
01:54:04,879 --> 01:54:07,256
- when I'm talking to you, bitch!
- Mr. Stampler.
1635
01:54:07,340 --> 01:54:09,091
- Fuck you, lady! Come here!
- That's it.
1636
01:54:09,175 --> 01:54:11,052
Order! Bailiff! Order!
1637
01:54:12,136 --> 01:54:16,556
Come here! You wanna play rough?
Let's play rough. Come on. Back off!
1638
01:54:16,640 --> 01:54:19,101
- Roy! Take it easy.
- Keep coming, asshole.
1639
01:54:19,185 --> 01:54:21,186
You'll see if I don't break
her fucking neck.
1640
01:54:21,270 --> 01:54:23,021
- Roy, come here. I gotta talk to you.
- Fuck you, Marty!
1641
01:54:23,105 --> 01:54:25,566
- I'm walking out of here. Now, slow...
- It's me.
1642
01:54:30,321 --> 01:54:33,032
No! No! Don't you...
1643
01:54:34,617 --> 01:54:35,618
No!
1644
01:54:41,457 --> 01:54:43,834
- You okay?
- Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay.
1645
01:55:10,945 --> 01:55:13,795
Don't even think of lighting
that cigarette, Miss Venable.
1646
01:55:19,662 --> 01:55:22,331
- How's your neck?
- I'll live.
1647
01:55:22,540 --> 01:55:24,208
I could call a doctor.
1648
01:55:24,708 --> 01:55:29,796
Mr. Shaughnessy just called
to inform me there will be no mistrial,
1649
01:55:29,880 --> 01:55:32,215
- as if that was his right.
- I can't believe
1650
01:55:32,299 --> 01:55:34,677
that scumbag has the balls to call here.
1651
01:55:34,844 --> 01:55:36,011
No, thanks.
1652
01:55:36,387 --> 01:55:38,889
What matters to me is
what you have to say.
1653
01:55:38,973 --> 01:55:41,392
Obviously, your case has been damaged.
1654
01:55:42,935 --> 01:55:45,771
In fairness to the Prosecution,
I would declare a mistrial,
1655
01:55:45,855 --> 01:55:48,523
regardless of what
Monsieurs Shaughnessy and Vail think,
1656
01:55:48,607 --> 01:55:50,067
if that's what you want.
1657
01:55:50,151 --> 01:55:53,153
The Prosecution doesn't wanna try
this case again, even if it could,
1658
01:55:53,237 --> 01:55:56,281
which it can't, at least not by me.
1659
01:55:56,365 --> 01:55:59,201
And I think I can guarantee you
there's no one
1660
01:55:59,368 --> 01:56:04,707
in the DA's office who will,
so it's up to you.
1661
01:56:05,166 --> 01:56:07,667
I'm going to dismiss the jury
in favor of a bench trial
1662
01:56:07,751 --> 01:56:10,295
and a blind plea of not guilty
by reason of insanity.
1663
01:56:10,379 --> 01:56:11,880
- Yes?
- Yeah.
1664
01:56:11,964 --> 01:56:13,965
The defendant will be remanded to Elgin
1665
01:56:14,049 --> 01:56:16,051
for an evaluation period of 30 days.
1666
01:56:16,135 --> 01:56:18,470
Let them decide
the term of his commitment.
1667
01:56:18,554 --> 01:56:20,013
Do either of you have
a problem with that?
1668
01:56:20,097 --> 01:56:21,765
Your Honor, he'll be out in a month.
1669
01:56:21,849 --> 01:56:24,852
Take it up with the Legislature,
Miss Venable.
1670
01:56:27,855 --> 01:56:29,398
I'm going home.
1671
01:56:34,528 --> 01:56:36,238
- Your Honor.
- No, Mr. Vail,
1672
01:56:36,322 --> 01:56:38,782
I am not refunding your contempt fine,
1673
01:56:38,866 --> 01:56:41,326
and the next time you wanna get
a client off on insanity,
1674
01:56:41,410 --> 01:56:42,869
you plead that way,
1675
01:56:42,953 --> 01:56:45,080
or I'll have you disbarred.
1676
01:57:13,692 --> 01:57:18,072
- You okay?
- Am I okay? Do I seem okay?
1677
01:57:18,614 --> 01:57:21,992
I get attacked by this sick twist,
I've lost the case, I'm out of a job.
1678
01:57:22,076 --> 01:57:25,829
No, Marty. I'm not particularly okay,
but, hey, you won,
1679
01:57:25,913 --> 01:57:28,874
justice was done.
Who the hell cares, right?
1680
01:57:30,417 --> 01:57:32,002
Congratulations.
1681
01:57:38,384 --> 01:57:40,177
You knew, didn't you?
1682
01:57:40,553 --> 01:57:43,388
You knew if I went after him,
he'd wig out up there.
1683
01:57:43,472 --> 01:57:47,225
Well, I knew he'd come out
if he was threatened.
1684
01:57:47,309 --> 01:57:49,562
And who better to do that than me?
1685
01:57:50,813 --> 01:57:52,231
You used me.
1686
01:57:56,443 --> 01:57:58,571
Yeah, I did. I had no choice.
1687
01:58:01,198 --> 01:58:04,618
What did I use, by the way,
that was so terrible?
1688
01:58:04,910 --> 01:58:08,747
I knew you'd do your job.
I knew you'd stand up to Shaughnessy.
1689
01:58:08,956 --> 01:58:11,875
I knew you'd try to win the case.
Now, what's wrong with that?
1690
01:58:11,959 --> 01:58:13,752
I lost my fucking job!
1691
01:58:13,836 --> 01:58:15,545
And that's good.
You should've left him years ago.
1692
01:58:15,629 --> 01:58:18,590
Christ, Marty, why is it you always think
you know what's right for me?
1693
01:58:18,674 --> 01:58:20,134
Because I'm arrogant.
1694
01:58:22,177 --> 01:58:23,554
I'm very...
1695
01:58:25,389 --> 01:58:27,349
very arrogant.
1696
01:58:38,193 --> 01:58:40,029
- You wanna dance?
- No.
1697
01:58:41,572 --> 01:58:42,990
- Sure?
- Yeah.
1698
01:58:46,285 --> 01:58:48,704
All you have to do is turn around.
1699
01:58:54,376 --> 01:58:55,419
No.
1700
01:58:57,546 --> 01:58:58,714
No.
1701
01:59:08,307 --> 01:59:10,267
I have to see my client.
1702
01:59:53,852 --> 01:59:56,229
- I'd like a minute alone with him.
- Are you sure?
1703
01:59:56,313 --> 01:59:58,023
Yeah. I'm sure.
1704
02:00:09,827 --> 02:00:11,036
You okay?
1705
02:00:14,957 --> 02:00:16,458
My head hurts.
1706
02:00:18,001 --> 02:00:20,629
You don't remember what just happened?
1707
02:00:23,966 --> 02:00:29,012
- No?
- I lost time again.
1708
02:00:30,055 --> 02:00:32,516
Well, I got some good news.
1709
02:00:33,642 --> 02:00:35,560
They've agreed to stop the trial.
1710
02:00:35,644 --> 02:00:38,230
They're gonna be sending you
to a hospital.
1711
02:00:38,731 --> 02:00:40,357
You can get the help you need.
1712
02:00:42,276 --> 02:00:47,156
Now, there's a very good chance
you can get out someday soon.
1713
02:00:50,617 --> 02:00:51,702
Yeah.
1714
02:00:56,415 --> 02:00:58,208
I can't believe it.
1715
02:00:59,168 --> 02:01:03,338
- I don't know what to say, Mr. Vail.
- That's all right, Aaron. That's okay.
1716
02:01:03,422 --> 02:01:06,341
I knew, the minute you came into my cell,
1717
02:01:06,425 --> 02:01:09,135
I knew everything was gonna be okay.
1718
02:01:09,219 --> 02:01:11,847
You saved my life.
1719
02:01:15,851 --> 02:01:17,102
Yeah.
1720
02:01:18,896 --> 02:01:20,314
I got to go.
1721
02:01:22,691 --> 02:01:27,404
- When will I see you again?
- Well, that's up to the courts now.
1722
02:01:28,989 --> 02:01:32,785
I don't want you to worry, Aaron.
I'm gonna stay on top of this, okay?
1723
02:01:39,708 --> 02:01:41,043
Thank you.
1724
02:01:42,294 --> 02:01:45,130
All right. You give me a call
if you need to. Okay?
1725
02:01:45,214 --> 02:01:46,590
- I will.
- All right.
1726
02:01:49,760 --> 02:01:51,929
- Hey, Mr. Vail?
- Yeah.
1727
02:01:53,722 --> 02:01:57,935
Will you tell Miss Venable I'm sorry?
1728
02:01:59,770 --> 02:02:02,564
Tell her I hope her neck is okay.
1729
02:02:03,607 --> 02:02:04,733
Yeah.
1730
02:02:21,750 --> 02:02:25,254
- What did you just say?
- What?
1731
02:02:26,713 --> 02:02:29,716
You told me you don't remember.
You black out.
1732
02:02:33,262 --> 02:02:35,681
So how do you know about her neck?
1733
02:02:50,988 --> 02:02:54,408
Well, good for you, Marty.
1734
02:02:56,076 --> 02:02:57,953
I was gonna let it go.
1735
02:02:58,120 --> 02:03:01,498
You was looking so happy just now.
I was thinking...
1736
02:03:02,624 --> 02:03:05,043
But to tell you the truth,
I'm glad you figured it,
1737
02:03:05,127 --> 02:03:07,713
'cause I have been dying to tell you.
1738
02:03:08,714 --> 02:03:10,673
I just didn't know who
you'd wanna hear it from, you know.
1739
02:03:10,757 --> 02:03:13,802
I mean, Aaron or Roy, or Roy or Aaron.
1740
02:03:14,261 --> 02:03:16,179
Well, I'll let you in on a little secret,
1741
02:03:16,263 --> 02:03:20,142
sort of a client-attorney privilege type
of a secret. You know what I mean?
1742
02:03:21,226 --> 02:03:24,980
It don't matter who you hear it from.
It's the same story.
1743
02:03:29,401 --> 02:03:32,487
I just
1744
02:03:32,571 --> 02:03:34,656
had to kill Linda, Mr. Vail.
1745
02:03:36,158 --> 02:03:38,785
That cunt just got what she deserved.
1746
02:03:42,164 --> 02:03:46,209
But cutting up
that son of a bitch Rushman...
1747
02:03:47,878 --> 02:03:51,089
that was just a fucking work of art.
1748
02:03:59,389 --> 02:04:01,725
You're good. You are really good.
1749
02:04:02,517 --> 02:04:05,354
Yeah, I did get caught, though, didn't I?
1750
02:04:09,566 --> 02:04:13,695
So there never...
There never was a Roy?
1751
02:04:15,030 --> 02:04:19,075
Jesus Christ, Marty. If that's
what you think, I'm disappointed in you.
1752
02:04:19,159 --> 02:04:20,786
I don't mind telling you.
1753
02:04:23,538 --> 02:04:27,834
There never was an Aaron, Counselor.
1754
02:04:36,802 --> 02:04:39,178
Come on, Marty, I thought you had it
figured there at the end.
1755
02:04:39,262 --> 02:04:40,638
The way you put me
on the stand like that,
1756
02:04:40,722 --> 02:04:42,682
that was fucking brilliant, Marty.
1757
02:04:42,766 --> 02:04:44,350
And that whole thing,
that, "Act like a man,"
1758
02:04:44,434 --> 02:04:46,644
Jesus, I knew exactly
what you wanted from me.
1759
02:04:46,728 --> 02:04:48,855
It was like we were dancing, Marty!
1760
02:04:48,939 --> 02:04:51,400
- Guard.
- Come on. Don't be like that, Marty.
1761
02:04:52,859 --> 02:04:57,406
We did it, man. We fucking did it.
We're a great team, you and me.
1762
02:04:58,198 --> 02:05:00,450
You think I could've done this
without you?
1763
02:05:00,534 --> 02:05:02,035
You're just feeling a little anger here
1764
02:05:02,119 --> 02:05:04,954
because you started to care about
old Aaron. I can understand that,
1765
02:05:05,038 --> 02:05:09,126
but, you know, love hurts, Marty.
What can I say?
1766
02:05:10,043 --> 02:05:13,671
Hey, I'm just kidding, bud!
I didn't mean to hurt your feelings!
1767
02:05:13,755 --> 02:05:16,091
What else was I supposed to do?
1768
02:05:16,425 --> 02:05:18,009
Hey, you're gonna thank me down the road,
1769
02:05:18,093 --> 02:05:21,054
'cause this is gonna toughen you
right up, Martin Vail!
1770
02:05:21,555 --> 02:05:24,474
You hear me? That's a promise!
