Check this out.

Cardio -respiratory arrest due to
cocaine.

You were raping her! We raped her! Hey,
are you crazy? Shut up! Unfortunately, I

have no choice but to drop the charges
at this time.

My sister's dead because of what you did
to her!

You did with your life!

I didn't shoot Philip Epperson.

I think you did. She is a prime
candidate for frame. You just assumed

me, too.

As Brigham Young said, this is the
place.

I don't see any cars.

Good.

We have some time to kill.

What's the matter?

About your hands.

Come on, I know what you like.

I like sushi, too, but not in a sports
car.

Let's go inside.

Hey, come on in.

Hey, Jeff. Hey, Dan.

Jeff. It's Rhonda.

Where is everybody?

Fashionably late, I guess.

Come here.

Chef Robert in the kitchen, creating his
latest gourmet treat.

His parents are out?

Far out, parents.

There you go, my dear.

A little delicacy, especially.

Nothing. I don't do coke.

Is that what it is, Coke?

Well, we're not just talking any old
Coke here.

It's ultimate Peruvian flake. Here.

Oh, my little fox.

What are you doing here? What are you
doing, chasing ambulances? This is not a

homicide. I was on my way home and I
picked up the call. What's up?

Somebody told they had a DB, but no.

She's alive.

Not well.

They don't need us here.

Well, what happened?

Some girl, 18, unconscious,
unresponsive, went into cardiac arrest.

18?

Teenage heart attack?

Are you absolutely sure she hadn't taken
any drugs?

Well, she was with me.

What she might have done before I picked
her up, I don't know.

We were having a few drinks, and she
seemed perfectly all right.

Then all of a sudden, she started to
complain about pains in her chest, and

wanted to lie down on the couch.

And the next thing, it was like she was
having a seizure or something.

So we called 911.

And she never came to again?

No.

I wish we knew CPR or something. We
could have helped the girl.

Helped her?

You were raping her. We raped her.

Quiet!

Let him talk.

He doesn't know what he's talking about.
You say you gave her cocaine?

Yes.

We talked her into it.

She didn't want to.

She wanted to leave.

We didn't let her go.

We held her down. Jeff!

You get all that?

Just goes to show, sometimes a beat cop
can wrap up a case without calling in

the hot dog dicks.

Did you Mirandize him?

Hmm?

You did read him his rights.

No, it was a voluntary confession.

I didn't know there'd been a crime
committed here.

What are you, a lawyer now? Read him his
rights.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used against you
in a court of law.

You have the right to have an attorney
present during questioning.

If you cannot afford an attorney, you
have the right to have one appointed for

you prior to questioning.

Do you understand these rights?

Yes. Will you voluntarily answer my
questions?

I think I'd like to talk to an attorney.

Can I help you? It's Rhonda Burke, my
sister. Is she here? Just a moment,

please. Was she all right? What's
happened to her? If you just have a

doctor will be right with you. Where is
she?

It's Rhonda Burke's sister.

Thank you. I'll take care of it.

I'm sorry, Miss Burke. We did everything
we could.

No!

There's no way these kids are going to
get off. They're guilty.

Jeff Wyatt's confession won't be
admissible as evidence in court.

these punks will get off.

How? He volunteered that confession.
Miranda does not apply.

Unfortunately, Melvin Belli will put
polls all through that testimony.

You are so cynical. Try and have a
little faith in the American system of

justice. I am cynical, but it has
nothing to do with justice. It has

to do with this prosecutor is
overmatched by Belli.

He volunteered the confession. He's
guilty. They're all guilty, though.

So is Miranda.

And the state will further establish
that the victim's death was a direct

of the ingestion of cocaine, a drug
provided by the defendants, and that the

resultant heart attack suffered by
Rhonda Burke was induced by the drug and

their sexual assault.

The prosecution will prove that these
men are, in fact, guilty of both rape

and murder.

Mr. Bell, I hear your opening statement,
please.

Yes, Your Honor.

May it please Your Honor.

And, of course, may it please you,
ladies and gentlemen of the jury.

I want to make just a very brief opening
statement to set out some guideposts so

that you can determine that my clients
are not guilty.

Your Honor, ladies and gentlemen of the
jury, these young men who are sitting

here... are the real victims in this
case.

Victims of a public outrage against drug
abuse, which all of us feel, and

rightly so.

Certainly it's tragic that Rhonda Burke
may have died of cocaine poisoning, but

that's not justification for making
these boys scapegoats.

No cocaine was found in their possession
or in the house where Rhonda Burke

died. In fact, the only cocaine ever
found in this case... was in the body of

Rhonda Burke.

Proximity to an event is not evidence of
complicity.

I will establish and prove that all that
these boys are guilty of is something

that all of us have been guilty of
sometime in our lives, being in the

place at the wrong time.

Thank you.

Prosecution records first witness.

And what did you find to be the cause of
death?

Cardio -respiratory arrest due to
cocaine.

And did your examination also indicate
that the deceased had been violated?

Objection.

Violated. It's leading and suggestive to
his own witness.

Sustained. There was evidence that he
had engaged in sexual intercourse a

time prior to his death. I see. And was
there any indication of physical injury

to the deceased?

Bruises on her facial cheeks, arms, and
thighs.

Your witness?

Deep, lasting bruises or mild, faint
bruises.

No, they were intermediate.

By the way, was Rhonda Burke a smoker?

Yes. Did she take oral contraceptives?
Objection.

Overruled. Witness will answer.

We found evidence of that, yes.

So you did find evidence of that. Don't
those factors.

smoking and the pill increased the
lethal potential of cocaine?

That is the medical consensus, yes.

Is it also possible Rhonda Burke may
have lacked the necessary enzyme to

metabolize the cocaine?

We didn't test for that.

Thank you.

Oh, there's another thing. About those
bruises, aren't there people who bruise

quite easily? I mean, in response to
actions... Less than violent.

Yes, yes, there are. And couldn't those
bruises have come from some amorous

adventure in the front seat of this
little sport? Objection. Withdrawn,

withdrawn. No further questions.

And what happened after you arrived at
the address?

The paramedic team was already
attempting to resuscitate the victim.

So I began to question the witnesses who
were present in regard to the

circumstances.

And what happened shortly thereafter?

One of the witnesses, Jeffrey White,
voluntarily confessed that he and the

defendants provided the victim with
cocaine and subsequently raped her.

And during the rape, she suffered a
seizure.

And you recorded this confession?

I did.

Request that this officer's note be
admitted as evidence of People's Exhibit

The defense requests that the ruling on
admissibility of these notes, or alleged

notes, be continued until completion of
our cross -examination.

Granted. Any more questions?

No, Your Honor.

Mr. Bell, are you a witness?

Did you find any cocaine on the
premises?

No, sir. Were there any signs of any
kind of a struggle?

No. And very importantly now.

Did you read, Mr. Wyatt, his rights
before you recorded his alleged

I didn't because at the time he
wasn't... Just answer the question. It's

enough. You read it or you didn't read
it. Did you advise Mr.

Wyatt that he had the right to legal
counsel before answering any questions?

I'm trying to tell you he wasn't in
custody at the time. He made a voluntary

statement that took me completely by
surprise.

He volunteered.

The statement.

Defense requests that the court rule
this officer as a hostile witness.

And if your honor would, ask him to
answer where he can, yes or no. Not an

elaborate statement.

So directed.

Now, Officer Myers, isn't it true, and
this is very important, that Mr.

asked if he could leave and go to the
hospital with Rhonda Burke?

Answer the question, please. You don't
have to look at anybody to give an

answer to that.

Yes. And wasn't this prior to Mr.

Wyatt's alleged confession?

Yes, but you wasn't... You've answered
the question.

Your Honor, I submit that this witness's
testimony that the defendants had in

fact been detained establishes they
should have been advised of their

rights to remain silent and to have
legal counsel. They weren't.

Since they were not so advised, Mr.
Wyatt's alleged statement is not

in evidence.

Does prosecution have anything to say?

Your Honor, the people maintain that the
defendant's confession was not coerced,

nor was he in the custody of Officer
Myers at the time.

His statement was made voluntarily as a
free citizen in response to general

questioning in the normal fact -finding
process associated with such an

incident. I can understand how the state
would take such a view and how the

officer could be completely unaware of
the fact that a crime had been committed

short of such information being
volunteered.

However, Officer Meyer's testimony
indicates that the defendants were

of their freedom of action in a
significant way.

The law is very clear on this point.
They should have been advised of their

rights.

And since they were not,

regardless of the fact that I may
personally wish to admit the defendant's

statement as evident.

In good conscience, I have no choice but
to rule for the defense.

The jury will disregard Officer Meyer's
testimony in regard to a statement made

by defendant Jeffrey Wyatt.

And the officer's notes in this regard
are inadmissible as evident.

Exception, Your Honor.

Noted. Proceed.

The prosecution rests.

Mr. Belli, you may present your case.

Thank you, Your Honor. But the defense
at this time contends that the

prosecution has failed to establish a
reasonable connection or nexus between

defendants and the crimes for which they
have been charged.

Therefore, we move that the court direct
the jury to find a verdict

of acquittal. Mr. Belli.

There is absolutely no question in the
court's mind that these young men

committed the act with which they've
been charged.

There is also no question in the court's
mind that their rights under the

Miranda decision have been violated.

This is a particularly odious example of
what can happen when errors of this

sort are made.

Unfortunately, I have no choice but to
drop the charges at this time.

Order! Order in the court. Jury is
dismissed.

The defendants will be relieved from
custody.

And this court is adjourned.

That's insane!

They're guilty!

One of them confessed!

They're guilty!

Bailiff! Bailiff! Remove that woman!
You'll answer to a higher justice! I'll

to that if I have to die for it! My
sister's dead because of what you

It's a sure cure for all of your ails.

Catch some rays.

Oh, Phil, you know, sometimes you are
the biggest baby.

Hey, why don't you show me that dive I
taught you?

All right, now.

Check this out.

Did you see it?

Bill?

Bill?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Mr.? Yes, what is it?

I'm Sergeant McCall. This is my partner,
Sergeant Hunter. We're with the Metro

PD.

We have some questions to ask you, but
first I'd like to inform you that you

have the right to remain silent.

If you give up that right, anything you
say can be used as evidence against you.

What is this? What are you doing?

You have the right to have an attorney
present. If you cannot afford an

attorney, one will be appointed to you.
Do you understand this right?

Yes, I do, but I don't understand what's
going on.

Two hours ago, Philip Epperson was shot
and killed.

Oh, no.

Oh, my God.

Well, that explains it. How's that?

A woman called me about three hours ago.
I don't know who it was, but she

managed to send me off on a wild goose
chase.

What do you mean?

She told me she knew those boys were
guilty because they'd raped somebody

six weeks ago.

Did she say who it was?

No, she wouldn't talk anymore on the
phone.

She said if I got over there right away,
she'd give me all the details.

That's where you've been?

Yes, I went to see that woman.

But there was nobody there.

You don't believe me, do you?

You think I killed him. Why aren't you
at work today?

I'm on a medical leave.

They thought I was under too much stress
to do my job.

You were right.

Getting back to this woman, did you go
to see her?

I couldn't find her.

I mean, I found the house, but it was
all boarded up. Nobody lived there.

Anybody see her?

No, I don't think so.

Do you own a gun? Yes.

May we see it?

It's at the club.

What club?

The Westwood Gun Club. I keep it in my
locker there.

There's no law against that that I'm
aware of.

And it certainly isn't that odd either.
My father was a Marine. He taught me to

shoot when I was in grammar school.

What address did the woman on the phone
give you?

Nobody's lived here in years.

At first I thought I'd written down the
wrong address, but it's obvious.

Somebody wanted me out of the way while
they killed Philip Epperson.

You said you had difficulty finding this
place. Did you have to stop at any time

to ask for direction?

I remember now. I did.

Can I help you?

Yes, sir. This lady says she was here
earlier today. You recall seeing her?

I don't remember seeing her.

She was driving a silver Mercedes
convertible.

Oh, I don't recall it.

The man I talked to was taller than you
and had long, sandy -colored hair.

I got the impression he was a mechanic.

Oh, we don't have no mechanic.

We used to.

Now we just pump gas and spill oil.

Were two people on duty here today?

Yeah, Quentin.

He was here up to half an hour ago.

Man, Quentin, he's a little fella. He's
five foot four and just as bald as a

baby's butt.

Well, this isn't going to help me, is
it?

Sergeant Hunter, come in.

Hope I'm not disturbing you. No, I'm
just fixing dinner.

Oh, I can come back another time. No,
no, come in, come in. Right now, a bribe

probably wouldn't do me any harm.

How's that?

Well, I'm in the middle of fixing
dinner.

Would you like to join me for a nice
home -cooked meal?

No, no, go right ahead.

Well, if you want to talk, come on in
the kitchen.

You were pretty close with your sister,
weren't you?

Yes, we were.

Our father died in Vietnam a few weeks
before we got out of Saigon.

And our mother died when Rhonda was
seven.

I practically raised her myself.

I tried to call you earlier, but your
phone was busy.

Oh, I've got the phone off the hook.

It was ringing like crazy when I came in
here today. People from TV, from the

newspaper, and just plain people.

They all think I'm wonderful.

A killer, mind you, but wonderful.

They were surprised, though, that I'm
not in jail.

You almost were in jail.

But I decided to get a second opinion.

And? Well, the deputy DA says we don't
have a case yet.

What was the model of the gun you own?

A Walther PPK. I thought you checked it.

Ballistics did.

You pretty good with it, are you?

I'm sorry to say it, but yes, I am.

Women's club champion.

I've been to the Nationals two years in
a row now.

You know, I was thinking, isn't there
like a police artist that could draw a

sketch of that man I saw at the gas
station?

Yeah, there is, but, uh... There's not
enough motivation in this case for that

yet. Don't the police have any interest
in trying to prove somebody else did it?

My partner thinks somebody else may have
done it. But you don't.

I can't believe this. You think I killed
him.

Sheila.

If somebody raped and murdered my sister
and got all scot -free on some sort of

technicality, I could kill them.

Plead diminished capacity and not spend
one single day in jail.

Well, I appreciate the free counsel,
Sergeant, but I didn't kill the man, and

I'm not pleading insanity.

I was upset about the verdict, and I did
say some things in the heat of the

moment, but I didn't shoot Philip
Epperson.

I think you did.

Why? I think you felt those boys
deserved to die for what they did to

sister. Well, I hate to disappoint you,
but I didn't kill him.

I'm not going to lie to you and tell you
I'm sorry one of those animals is dead.

I'm not.

I won't shed one tear.

As far as I'm concerned, he can burn in
hell.

Sergeant McCall, Sergeant Hunter, David
Kephart, the deceased brother.

Mr. Kephart? I understand you are the
officers investigating Robert's death.

Yes, we are.

Well, why haven't you arrested her?

You mean Sheila Burke?

When the hell else would I be referring
to?

We have arrested her, and she's with her
attorney at this time.

An A1 example of locking the garage door
after the car's been stolen.

Mr. Kephart, we could not arrest Sheila
Burke on the first homicide because

suspicion doesn't do it. We know it
wouldn't stick.

If you're a betting man, I'll give you
odds that her attorney, Mr. Snow, will

have her out today by 5 p .m.

I was told that Robert and his friend,
Philip Epperson, were killed by the same

gun. And you're telling me she's going
to be released?

We checked out Sheila Burke's gun. It
was not the gun that was used in these

homicides. Mr. Kephart, we're conducting
a thorough investigation of Miss Burke.

In fact, Sergeant Hunter, after the last
time we discussed it, was thoroughly

convinced of her guilt and was working
to prove it.

My point is if she had been in custody,
Robert would still be alive.

I mean, it's absolutely scandalous.

And if my ears aren't deceiving me, it's
you two who on your own decided not to

arrest her after the first killing.

Mr. Kephart, we are well aware of the
clout you have in this city. However,

it comes down to our police work, you
have none. I have things to do, Captain.

You're excused.

I don't happen to be using my clout, as
you call it, Sergeant Hunter. But if and

when I decide to use it, you'll know
it's being used.

Great.

Obviously, you know something about that
loud -mouthed, arrogant creep that

gives him clout.

What is it?

His old man left his fortune to a kept
-heart fund for progress, and to his

sons by four different marriages.

Are you saying that that is Robert
Kephart's half -brother? He's also the

executor of that fund. Very influential
in political circles.

I think I'd like to do a little work on
him.

You do that.

I'll work on Sheila.

Hunter.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Attorney Michael Snow just sprung Sheila
from the slammer.

Ms. Burke, make a statement, please.
There's two dead. Is there one more to

Ms. Burke? Why did you do it? You're an
expert, Marksman. Would you care to

comment on that? Now, hold it.

Ms. Burke is free because a district
attorney admits that there was

evidence to bring her to trial, okay?

How about a statement from you, Ms.
Burke?

Your public wants to know, Ms. Burke.
They deserve to know, Ms. Burke. Hey,

Sheila, I'm behind you. Go for it.

Sergeant Hunter, would you please get in
the car? I have to talk to her.

Give him hell, Sheila.

Do you mind telling me why you invited
him to join us?

Because he's my best witness.

Was I or was I not with you last night
after 8 o 'clock?

8 .05.

You see, I couldn't have done it.

You agree with that?

No. What?

You could have made it from your house
at that time at night to Robert Kephart

in about 20 minutes.

But he was shot inside a locked
building.

Yes. However, you could have followed
the car into the gate before it closed.

I can't believe this.

You still think I killed him? Well,
didn't you? Don't answer that.

No.

You are funny.

What you seem to be saying is that by
some sheer dumb luck, she got there just

as this kid drove in.

Now, is that your theory?

That's about it, yeah.

I want you out of this car now.

Pull over.

I think you meant it, Sheila.

What? When you said you wanted those
kids dead.

Don't answer that.

Get out.

I'll be seeing you.

Not if I can help.

Where you been?

Well, I took a little ride with Sheila
Burke and Michael Snow.

You're kidding me.

He let you get close enough to talk to
her? Yep.

I don't believe it.

Neither does Michael Snow.

He kicked me out. I had to walk back to
the car.

What'd you do, tell him you thought she
was guilty?

Yeah. She isn't? Yes, she is.

No, she's not.

Listen to this.

The late Mr. Kephart left 100 ,000
shares of his stock to each of his four

and 100 ,000 shares of the stock to the
Kephart Fund.

Now, that was 15 years ago. Now, at that
time, Kephart's stock was selling for

about $40 a share. So, in other words,
David Kephart got stock worth $4 million

and the fund got the same amount.

Now, that is a lot of money, but is it
clout?

It all depends what the stock's worth.

No, it doesn't, because David Kephart
traded in his shares and the fund's

for nice, safe, and secure bonds.

So what's your point?

All of his sons got their shares when
they turned 21, except for Robert

he didn't make it to 21, he was just 19.

So his 100 ,000 shares went into the
Kephart Fund in accordance with his

father's will.

So what are they worth now?

They were split 4 to 1 in 1979 and split
again 2 for 1 in 1986.

So Robert had 800 ,000 shares selling at
52 when he died, and that comes to just

a wee bit over 40 million bucks, and
that is... clout, and David Kephart got

as soon as his half -brother died.

You mean the fund got it?

I've been thinking.

I'd like to talk to Sheila Burke.

Who is it?

It's Sergeant McCall.

I'm sorry, but Mr. Snow says I can't
talk to you.

Sergeant Hunter isn't with me. I'm by
myself. I don't want to question you. I

just want to speak with you for a
minute.

Thank you.

I tried calling you, but I got a
recording on your line that said the

out of order.

It's off the hook. Can you believe it?

People, even reporters, call and ask me
when I'm going to kill the third one.

And they sound anxious.

Some of them even offered help.

Isn't that sick?

I'm glad you think so.

May I sit down? Oh, yes, of course.

Thank you.

I just wanted to ask you a couple of
more questions about that phone call you

received. Could you describe the voice?
For example, did you note an accent?

I don't really remember an accent, but
then I really wasn't listening for that,

you know, more to the words.

Well, if you heard the voice again, do
you think you might be able to recognize

it? Well, I don't know. I guess
anything's possible.

Do you have another phone in the house?
Yes, I do.

Would you mind going to that and picking
it up when I tell you and listen?

Okay.

Yes? I have a Sergeant McCall from the
police department on line one. Will you

speak with her?

Very well. Put her through.

This is David Kephart.

Yes, I thought that you would like to be
informed that Sheila Burke could not be

detained by the DA's office. They said
that the reason was the inability to

connect the suspect to the crime.

Well, Sergeant, to the extent that I
blamed you and Sergeant Hunter

for what happened...

which allows a self -confessed killer to
run loose ought to be junked. And I

make no apology for saying that.

You realize, of course, that you sound
exactly like Sheila Burke. She blamed

system, too.

Are you equating me with a cold,
bloodied killer?

No, of course not.

I just thought you'd like to be
informed. Thank you for your time.

Who was that?

Did you recognize the voice?

Well, I couldn't swear to it on a Bible,
but the person who called me had that

same prep school -like accent.

Maybe it wasn't a woman.

Hunter, some kid's been waiting down the
hall to see you all afternoon.

His name's Jeffrey Wyatt.

Thank you.

What can I do for you?

Uh, yeah, I was wondering if I could get
some police protection.

I don't think so.

Hey, Rob and Phil are dead.

Can't you put me in protective custody
or something?

There's a crazy woman out there killing
people, and I could be next.

Yep, you sure could be. But guarding you
right now is not in our budget.

That's what he's saying. I should just
disappear? What?

Well, I could put you in county jail,
Jeffrey, but I don't think the inmates

going to treat you too kindly. Whether
you liked it or not, the case against us

was dismissed.

On a technicality.

What do you want me to do, go home and
play sitting duck for some crazed

Well, I don't care what you do, but you
can't hang around here, Jeff.

You don't give a damn if I get blown
away, do you?

You just assumed she killed me, too.

It's not important what I think right
now. We just can't help you.

So, this is where you go to practice
killing people.

Who are you and what do you want?

You know who I am. You saw me in the
courtroom.

I want you to know that if the police
aren't going to take any action against

you, I am.

I'm going to prove that you killed my
brother if it takes every cent I have. I

didn't kill your brother.

And I'm really sorry about what I said
at the trial.

Like hell you are.

You made what amounts to a public
confession.

And here you are, practicing for the
next killing.

Don't talk to me about confessions.

Jeffrey Wyatt confessed.

And that lawyer you hired got it thrown
out of court. I didn't hear you

screaming about justice then.

Not when your brother would have been
convicted of rape and murder.

Robert never touched your sister. They
proved that.

It's a tragedy that she died, but
killing my brother didn't bring her

And I swear to God I'll see you answer
for what you've done.

Stop sounding so pious.

Sergeant McCall was talking to someone
on the phone today, and now I know who

was.

You.

What are you talking about?

You're the one who called me. The one
who tricked me into going out to Malibu

the exact time Philip Epperson was being
killed.

You're the suspect now, not me.

I still don't know what you're talking
about. You're not making any sense.

You're saying that I killed my own
brother?

Not me, the police.

But I want you to know I'm going to do
everything I can to help them prove it

was you.

If it wasn't for your lousy money, money
you never even earned, those creeps

would have paid for their crime.

You know, as long as you're kicking
around possible suspects, I got one you

haven't thought of.

Melvin Beller.

No, I'm talking about that third kid,
Jeffrey Wyatt.

Jeffrey Wyatt? He came in here today
looking for protection. It's not Jeff.

So?

That could be a great cover, right?

I mean, he felt guilty enough to
confess, right? Yeah.

All right, so maybe the guilt's gnawing
away at him. Who does he blame?

His two buddies, the real bad guys in
this case.

What, do you think he just goes out and
executes them?

Well, it's no wilder than your Kephart
theory, is it?

No, I guess it isn't.

If you're right, we don't have to worry
about any more killings.

Ladies and gentlemen, listen to what I'm
about to say. The only person we have

to worry about is Sheila Burke.

And I'm worried.

Who's in here?

Don't move.

Put your purse on the coffee table.

So, this is the gun, huh?

The one you used to kill Robin Phil?

No, that's my target pistol, and I
didn't kill anybody with it. You've got

kidding.

I'm not going to wait around for you to
kill me, too. Jeremy, if you kill me,

they'll arrest you and put you in prison
for life.

Well, I'd rather be in jail than be
dead.

Why do you think I haven't been
arrested?

Because the police know somebody else
did it.

Nobody else had any reason to kill Robin
Phil.

David Kephart had all the motive in the
world to want Robert dead.

Money. You trying to tell me that the
police think Rob's brother killed him?

Yeah. That's crazy.

He didn't inherit Rob's money. The
Kephart fund did.

To David Kephart, it's all the same. But
in order to keep himself in the clear,

he had to kill Philip Epperson first.

And he probably plans to kill you next.

I want to help you, Jeff.

You've got to go somewhere and hide
until the police arrest him. And they do

suspect him now.

You can go to my beach house in Venice.
You can stay there.

He might look for me there.

Are you kidding?

He thinks I want you killed.

Why are you doing all this?

Because I don't want to see you dead.

I just thought after what happened to
Rhonda.

Whatever happened to Rhonda is over.

It's gone and forgotten.

I just want this whole thing to stop.

so that I can have a phone again and go
to work and be able to walk down the

street without being mobbed.

Here are the keys and the address. You
can keep my gun for protection.

Where's your car?

I don't have one. I just took a bus.

Here are my keys. The car's in the
drive. When you get to the beach house,

there. I'll come by tomorrow with some
groceries and stuff.

I just want you to know... we never
planned anything like that happening to

Just wanted to party a little.

Things got kind of out of control.

You don't have to explain.

I want to put it out of my mind.

It's done.

I just want you to know... I'm sorry.

I really am.

Hey, hey, she's leaving again.

Great. I can use the change of scenery.

Give her plenty of slack. We don't want
to spook her.

Yeah, what do you bet she's out for an
overnighter? Yeah, well, we spend all

night at her place, we spend all night
here. What difference does it make?

No difference.

Hi, boys.

Hey, wake up. We're out of here. I'm
awake. I'm awake.

That's her car. They're at the corner
house.

Any activity?

Well, she left her place at 1025 last
night and got here at 1110.

8 William 4. We're at 1024.

L56. It's code 5.

Get some sleep. Thanks.

Later, Hunter.

Hey, you see what I see?

My suspect is coming to visit your
suspect.

Jeffrey, are you here?

Jeff, it's David Kephart.

Come on, Jeff.

Get in here. What is this? What are you
doing? Shut up!

Then I understand why you're scared. I'd
be terrified, too. I said shut up!

Jeff, would you please just put the gun
away?

Where is she?

Who? Sheila Burke. What are you talking
about? What did you do with her?

Stop talking nonsense. I came here
because I got your message.

I brought you the money you wanted.

Money? What the hell are you talking
about? Don't move. I'll shoot you. I

it. Drop the gun, Jeffrey.

I said drop the gun.

Why? You're going to shoot me.

Yes. No, you're not.

Don't move, Sheila.

Lower the gun.

Lower the gun.

It was you.

You got me to come here.

What are you going to do, kill me too
after you killed him?

Just a minute. Before she answers any
questions, I want her to have her rights

read to her.

But to answer your question, yeah.

She sets you up for both murders,
figuring your last victim here would

before he died.

I'm sure Michael Snow will tell you the
same thing I told you.

Plead guilty, diminish capacity.

He's a damn good attorney.

Sergeant. You have the right to remain
silent. If you give up this right,

anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.

You have the right to speak with an
attorney and to have the attorney

during questioning.

If you so desire and cannot afford one,
an attorney will be appointed for you.
