Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:44,820
The scenes you are watching are from the
highly rated action -adventure shows
2
00:02:44,820 --> 00:02:47,760
Mustang, Chopper Squad, and Highway
Guys.
3
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:52,280
But now, when the life -imitates -art
-and -truth -is -stranger -than -fiction
4
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:58,080
categories, the producer of these
exciting shows, Paul J. Bartell, stands
5
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,680
for the murder of the man whose network
they're on. This man, Greg Teitelman,
6
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,440
network programming chief, who was found
stabbed in the back at this exclusive
7
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,440
Bedford Hotel.
8
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,080
Hello, everybody. I'm Terry McNeil.
9
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,340
And I'm Doug August, welcoming you to
Hollywood Today, where this evening's
10
00:03:14,340 --> 00:03:17,820
entire hour will be devoted to an event
that has shaken the Hollywood community
11
00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:19,440
like no other before it.
12
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:24,460
Greg wasn't the cold -hearted,
impersonal executive everyone thought
13
00:03:24,540 --> 00:03:27,000
You know, the kind who did everything on
the phone.
14
00:03:27,740 --> 00:03:30,980
To the contrary, he thrived on the
personal touch.
15
00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:36,000
For instance, when he canceled my first
series, he personally told his assistant
16
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,000
to call me.
17
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,240
An actress remembers that kind of
thoughtfulness.
18
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Believe me.
19
00:03:43,740 --> 00:03:46,520
Before Greg took over the network a few
years ago, things were getting so
20
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,640
confused that executives were going
around stabbing each other in the front.
21
00:03:53,340 --> 00:03:55,400
Well, he changed that all around, didn't
he?
22
00:03:56,580 --> 00:03:59,980
And now, after weeks of evidence and
argument, the case of the People v.
23
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,880
Greg's accused murderer, Paul J.
Bartell, has gone to the jury.
24
00:04:04,350 --> 00:04:07,730
Why don't we tell our viewers how and
where it all began?
25
00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:12,550
Greg Teitelman came into Los Angeles the
first weekend in April for some
26
00:04:12,550 --> 00:04:13,970
meetings at a Los Angeles hotel.
27
00:04:14,310 --> 00:04:16,589
And that's when Paul J. Bartell had a
meeting with him?
28
00:04:16,790 --> 00:04:20,410
Yeah, just around 2 in the afternoon,
Paul J. Bartell came to the hotel.
29
00:05:42,190 --> 00:05:43,470
I want you to connect me with the
police.
30
00:05:44,270 --> 00:05:48,270
They say you came to the hotel for a
meeting with the deceased at 2 o 'clock.
31
00:05:49,390 --> 00:05:51,510
That's somewhere around there. It might
have been a little early.
32
00:05:52,190 --> 00:05:53,190
And then?
33
00:05:53,610 --> 00:05:57,950
I saw him, Greg, on the floor with a
knife wound in his back.
34
00:05:58,430 --> 00:05:59,970
Why are you so sure it was a knife
wound?
35
00:06:00,550 --> 00:06:01,970
You know, it wasn't a bullet wound.
36
00:06:02,190 --> 00:06:05,710
Lieutenant, I've been producing TV cop
shows for years. I can tell the
37
00:06:05,710 --> 00:06:07,450
difference between a knife and a gunshot
wound.
38
00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:10,250
This was a gaping... All right, all
right.
39
00:06:12,630 --> 00:06:15,330
All right, so you say you were going to
have a meeting with Mr. Teileman.
40
00:06:15,850 --> 00:06:16,850
What about?
41
00:06:17,150 --> 00:06:18,150
Business.
42
00:06:19,830 --> 00:06:20,990
Two of you were friends?
43
00:06:22,010 --> 00:06:24,290
Absolutely. We've known each other for
years. Hey, Lieutenant.
44
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,480
Mr. Bartell, I'm going to have to ask
you to come with us.
45
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,160
Why? What's going on?
46
00:06:44,260 --> 00:06:47,700
It seems that one of my officers found
what appears to be the missing murder
47
00:06:47,700 --> 00:06:48,700
weapon.
48
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,860
So? Well, it seems it was found in the
glove compartment of your car.
49
00:06:56,260 --> 00:06:58,680
So now we have a murder and a prime
suspect.
50
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,020
And now let's take a look at Benjamin
Matlock, the attorney who handled the
51
00:07:03,020 --> 00:07:04,020
for the defense.
52
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:09,640
Terry? For the last 30 years, Ben
Matlock has lived and practiced law in
53
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:15,080
Atlanta, Georgia, where he's well known
for both his high prices and the high
54
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,920
percentage of clients he successfully
defends.
55
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,240
Ben Matlock's out there.
56
00:07:20,860 --> 00:07:21,860
Ben!
57
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:31,960
What?
58
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:35,980
It's Paul J. Bartell.
59
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:37,639
Who's that?
60
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,740
Big TV producer.
61
00:07:39,420 --> 00:07:41,860
Produces Chopper Squad, Highway Guys,
Mustang.
62
00:07:43,660 --> 00:07:45,300
A lot of good -looking women in Mustang.
63
00:07:46,340 --> 00:07:47,340
You want to take it?
64
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,400
Hello?
65
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,120
Yes, sir.
66
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:55,940
Oh, thank you.
67
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,460
Well, that's interesting.
68
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:02,960
Yes, sir.
69
00:08:05,750 --> 00:08:06,750
Well?
70
00:08:07,470 --> 00:08:10,290
How about getting us a couple of
airplane tickets to Hollywood?
71
00:08:13,970 --> 00:08:20,750
And so Ben
72
00:08:20,750 --> 00:08:25,730
Matlock and his associate, Michelle
Thomas, jetted out to Los Angeles to
73
00:08:25,730 --> 00:08:26,890
with Paul J. Bartell.
74
00:08:27,610 --> 00:08:32,610
Tell me if I'm wrong, but isn't your
making money?
75
00:08:33,959 --> 00:08:38,740
dependent on people like Greg Teileman
buying your show.
76
00:08:39,980 --> 00:08:42,620
In network TV, there are just three
shops to sell to.
77
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:45,780
Greg runs Ram, the number one shop.
78
00:08:46,140 --> 00:08:51,620
If there were a falling out and Greg
Teileman had canceled, say, Mustang,
79
00:08:51,700 --> 00:08:54,440
then millions of dollars would have been
at stake, wouldn't it?
80
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,600
Yes. But as you can see, I have lots of
other shows. But it's common knowledge
81
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,880
that none of them have lost as much
money as Mustang.
82
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,740
And that Greg Teitelman was ready to
cancel it.
83
00:09:05,020 --> 00:09:10,600
Mustang is a very expensive show with a
star who gets six figures an episode and
84
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:11,900
insists it be shot in Hawaii.
85
00:09:12,420 --> 00:09:19,320
The way I understand it, if Greg
Teitelman had kept Mustang on
86
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,040
for another year, then your losses would
have turned into profit.
87
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,180
We would have had enough episodes to
make a favorable syndication deal work.
88
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,800
Greg was my friend.
89
00:09:32,910 --> 00:09:33,910
I didn't kill him.
90
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:39,170
Why didn't you call the police from his
room when you first discovered his body?
91
00:09:39,450 --> 00:09:42,470
I've produced enough TV shows to know
you're not supposed to touch anything,
92
00:09:42,670 --> 00:09:43,670
including the phone.
93
00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:45,890
What about the knife?
94
00:09:46,810 --> 00:09:48,090
I never saw the knife.
95
00:09:48,350 --> 00:09:52,630
The prosecution is going to contend that
the reason you didn't use the phone in
96
00:09:52,630 --> 00:09:56,410
his room is because you wanted to hide
the knife in your car first.
97
00:09:56,690 --> 00:09:58,410
You don't seriously believe that, do
you?
98
00:09:59,740 --> 00:10:02,880
Now, that'd be pretty dumb, but they
will contend that. You wait and see.
99
00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:06,320
Well, is there anything else you need to
know?
100
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,360
Not right now.
101
00:10:10,580 --> 00:10:12,800
Well, I was always intimidated by Greg
Teitelman.
102
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,100
He never smiled, and I always called him
Mr.
103
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,320
Teitelman.
104
00:10:17,420 --> 00:10:21,560
Anyway, there was this meeting in his
office one day, and I was so scared I
105
00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:23,360
wouldn't go in without my agent and my
lawyer.
106
00:10:24,460 --> 00:10:28,040
Anyway, when we got inside, he saw how
intimidated I was, and he said, Son...
107
00:10:28,510 --> 00:10:32,430
As long as you're a member of my
network, I want you to think of me as
108
00:10:32,430 --> 00:10:33,430
second father.
109
00:10:34,270 --> 00:10:39,530
From that day on, actually, I had
trouble distinguishing between him and
110
00:10:39,530 --> 00:10:42,450
father. Do you mean you went to him with
your problems?
111
00:10:43,650 --> 00:10:46,790
Well, unfortunately, he died before I
got a chance to do that.
112
00:10:47,550 --> 00:10:52,790
What I mean is now when I go talk to my
real father, I can't go without my agent
113
00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:53,790
or my lawyer.
114
00:11:01,290 --> 00:11:02,790
How powerful was Greg Title?
115
00:11:04,190 --> 00:11:08,750
Well, I don't know exactly, but there's
this rumor that just after his death,
116
00:11:09,210 --> 00:11:11,910
Highway to Heaven was picked up for two
more seasons.
117
00:11:12,810 --> 00:11:16,270
And the network announced that they were
going to do a miniseries of the
118
00:11:16,270 --> 00:11:18,050
creation with the original cast.
119
00:11:19,050 --> 00:11:20,430
It was just a joke.
120
00:11:21,350 --> 00:11:22,350
Sort of.
121
00:11:23,790 --> 00:11:28,330
Okay, so Ben Matlock figured he had to
find the person who placed the knife in
122
00:11:28,330 --> 00:11:29,390
Paul J. Bartell's car.
123
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,080
That was the idea, yes.
124
00:11:31,780 --> 00:11:33,020
So how did he proceed?
125
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:37,320
Well, the first thing he needed to know
was who knew Greg was in town.
126
00:11:37,700 --> 00:11:41,480
So, as they say in showbiz, he made the
rounds.
127
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,260
Jerry, don't try to position me. I'll
see to it that none of your clients do
128
00:11:46,260 --> 00:11:47,260
this show. I promise you.
129
00:11:50,180 --> 00:11:53,680
Yes? Excuse me. I'm looking for Mr.
David Martin.
130
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,340
That's me, but if you're from Lorimar,
we've already called your girl to
131
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,540
No, we're not from Lorimar. We're from
Atlanta.
132
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:04,020
We're lawyers. I'm Ben Matlock. This is
my associate, Michelle Thomas. We
133
00:12:04,020 --> 00:12:05,540
represent Paul J. Vartell.
134
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,860
Oh, yes. Yes, I heard you took the case.
Right. How do you do? This is my
135
00:12:10,860 --> 00:12:12,180
associate, Linda Lewis. Hello.
136
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:13,720
Hi.
137
00:12:13,820 --> 00:12:16,020
Oh, well, I see you're packing.
138
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,040
Where are you going?
139
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:18,939
New York.
140
00:12:18,940 --> 00:12:19,940
Oh, that's right.
141
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,060
You're taking over for the deceased.
142
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,960
Greg was a very dear friend of mine.
143
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,440
What was he? What, some kind of a
mentor?
144
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,200
Much more. I owe everything to him.
145
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,620
So you'd be more than willing to bring
his murderer to justice?
146
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:41,240
Of course I would.
147
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,760
David, you do have that 1230 at the Polo
Lounge.
148
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Oh, right.
149
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,680
Well... This will only take a moment.
150
00:12:50,580 --> 00:12:54,700
I'm just trying to find out who knew
that Greg Teitelman...
151
00:12:55,070 --> 00:12:57,170
would be coming into Los Angeles that
weekend.
152
00:12:57,810 --> 00:13:00,330
Mr. Bartell seems to think that you
would know.
153
00:13:03,790 --> 00:13:06,710
Why don't you have a seat here, Mr.
154
00:13:07,190 --> 00:13:10,270
Matlock and... Thomas. Thomas, right.
155
00:13:11,270 --> 00:13:13,770
Do you don't mind if Linda sits in?
156
00:13:14,050 --> 00:13:15,050
Oh, of course not.
157
00:13:17,170 --> 00:13:22,390
My relationship with Greg was very
close, so naturally I knew that he was
158
00:13:22,390 --> 00:13:23,390
into town.
159
00:13:23,710 --> 00:13:24,710
Did you know why?
160
00:13:25,450 --> 00:13:30,070
Well, he had three meetings that I was
aware of. One with Paul Bartel about
161
00:13:30,070 --> 00:13:32,530
Mustang. And one with Larry Davis.
162
00:13:35,050 --> 00:13:36,250
Studio head. Oh.
163
00:13:36,870 --> 00:13:38,210
And what would that have been about?
164
00:13:38,570 --> 00:13:40,010
Well, I'm afraid I don't know exactly.
165
00:13:40,470 --> 00:13:41,470
And there was a third?
166
00:13:42,630 --> 00:13:43,630
Lame lock letter.
167
00:13:43,850 --> 00:13:45,670
Oh. The actor.
168
00:13:46,530 --> 00:13:48,150
Used to be Denning for the defense.
169
00:13:49,070 --> 00:13:50,910
The lawyer who never lost a case.
170
00:13:51,340 --> 00:13:54,480
Yeah, that's the one. I'm sure he was
trying to convince Greg to give him a
171
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,500
show. That's what Lane's meetings were
usually about.
172
00:13:57,620 --> 00:13:59,660
Well, did you see Greg Donald?
173
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,700
No, no. He would often fly in, have his
meetings, and then call me from New York
174
00:14:04,700 --> 00:14:05,840
to fill me in later.
175
00:14:06,220 --> 00:14:09,060
I had no reason to take a meeting with
Greg at that particular time.
176
00:14:09,780 --> 00:14:13,260
So, aside from you and those three, did
anyone else know he was here?
177
00:14:13,780 --> 00:14:16,300
Well, I assume his wife knew and his
secretary.
178
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,140
But Greg was a very secretive man, so I
doubt that anybody else knew.
179
00:14:22,940 --> 00:14:25,880
Well, I guess that's a start.
180
00:14:26,860 --> 00:14:30,260
Ben Matlock started finding things out
right away.
181
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:31,720
Like what, Terry?
182
00:14:31,780 --> 00:14:36,080
Well, like out here in Hollywood, you
don't go to lunch, you do it. And when
183
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,840
you're doing it, you don't just eat, you
also talk business. And that's not
184
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:44,140
having a meeting, that's taking one. And
the first one he took was with Lane
185
00:14:44,140 --> 00:14:45,680
Lockletter, who's an actor.
186
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:48,600
Let me tell you, Ben.
187
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:56,060
I had a deep, abiding affection and
admiration for Greg Teichman.
188
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,600
A brilliant programmer.
189
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:03,800
But as only a kid, he didn't remember
that Lane Lockletter was the first star
190
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:04,800
come over to the network.
191
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,720
Well, that was 25 years ago. Ben, I put
him on the map.
192
00:15:11,260 --> 00:15:15,340
Denning for the defense was in the top
ten for six consecutive years.
193
00:15:15,620 --> 00:15:19,940
It not only anchored Friday nights, it
single -handedly changed the dating
194
00:15:19,940 --> 00:15:20,940
habits of America.
195
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,100
And Greg Teitelman wouldn't give you a
show?
196
00:15:24,860 --> 00:15:27,780
All he ever offered me was guest shots
and other people's shows.
197
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,520
And that's why you wanted to have a
meeting with him when he came out to Los
198
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:32,620
Angeles? Ben.
199
00:15:36,220 --> 00:15:40,850
I have. I have an idea for a series
that'll do a 45 share.
200
00:15:41,070 --> 00:15:45,710
A spin -off of Denning where I marry a
younger girl lawyer, and then the two of
201
00:15:45,710 --> 00:15:47,750
us team up to defend innocent people.
202
00:15:49,070 --> 00:15:50,330
We'll call it Mr.
203
00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:51,550
and Mrs. Defender.
204
00:15:52,290 --> 00:15:53,570
Huh? What do you think?
205
00:15:55,570 --> 00:15:57,050
Well, I don't know.
206
00:15:57,650 --> 00:16:00,010
What time was your meeting with Greg
Totten?
207
00:16:00,310 --> 00:16:02,410
Four o 'clock. You don't like my idea?
208
00:16:04,390 --> 00:16:06,870
So you never saw him? Did you talk with
him?
209
00:16:07,130 --> 00:16:08,089
Yeah.
210
00:16:08,090 --> 00:16:09,770
We confirmed in the morning.
211
00:16:10,750 --> 00:16:12,130
Ben, let me stop you.
212
00:16:12,550 --> 00:16:17,510
I see very clearly what you're doing. I
did it myself every Friday night for six
213
00:16:17,510 --> 00:16:21,730
years. You're establishing if I had a
motive, which, yes, I do.
214
00:16:22,110 --> 00:16:25,530
And, yes, I knew what bungalow he was
in.
215
00:16:27,090 --> 00:16:32,430
But if I may do a critique of your work,
Ben.
216
00:16:33,150 --> 00:16:38,270
It's not a question of right or wrong.
It's a question of style.
217
00:16:39,230 --> 00:16:43,670
Style. A courtroom is a theater, and
you've got to lighten it up.
218
00:16:47,350 --> 00:16:48,350
I'm sorry.
219
00:16:49,650 --> 00:16:51,950
Like I did in Denning for the defense.
220
00:16:53,550 --> 00:16:55,690
You ought to try to be more like
Denning.
221
00:16:56,770 --> 00:16:57,770
Oh,
222
00:16:58,230 --> 00:16:59,950
I'll get that. No. No, no, I'll get
that.
223
00:17:01,100 --> 00:17:02,100
Well, thank you.
224
00:17:03,780 --> 00:17:10,640
You know, there's a rumor that the
225
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:17,520
real reason that you were desperate for
a new show is that your
226
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,079
last wife took the cleaners.
227
00:17:20,619 --> 00:17:21,720
But that's a lie.
228
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:29,040
There's another rumor that there was a
long history of bad blood between you
229
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,040
Greg Toteman.
230
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:35,890
With him gone, there are other people at
the network who'd be more inclined to
231
00:17:35,890 --> 00:17:38,070
put you on the schedule.
232
00:17:39,290 --> 00:17:45,310
Ah, I... I enjoyed meeting you and I
enjoyed hearing about Denning. Thank
233
00:17:45,310 --> 00:17:49,030
And I used to enjoy Denning. Thank you
very much. I enjoyed our meal. I hope
234
00:17:49,030 --> 00:17:50,130
did. Thank you, sir.
235
00:17:55,090 --> 00:17:57,510
Denning would have left a much bigger
tip.
236
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,720
And while Ben Matlock was learning how
to spend like a Hollywood lawyer,
237
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,680
Michelle had returned to the scene of
the crime.
238
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:11,220
You see, the thing about Greg is that he
had a point of view about pilots.
239
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,280
He understood the kind of character that
America wants to watch.
240
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,740
That's why David wants me to check over
here and see if his notes are still
241
00:18:19,740 --> 00:18:21,520
there. Hello, Miss Lewis. Hi, Bill.
242
00:18:22,380 --> 00:18:26,060
Well, everyone seems to know you. Oh, I
do breakfast meetings here three or four
243
00:18:26,060 --> 00:18:27,060
times a week.
244
00:18:29,630 --> 00:18:30,750
There's the bungalow right there.
245
00:18:31,410 --> 00:18:35,530
Do they have weddings here very often?
Oh, you have to book them six or eight
246
00:18:35,530 --> 00:18:36,530
months in advance.
247
00:18:37,950 --> 00:18:40,010
You go on ahead. I have to go into the
hotel.
248
00:18:40,490 --> 00:18:41,490
Thanks for the lift.
249
00:18:58,969 --> 00:19:05,150
Mr. Wolfson, are you in charge of
wedding receptions? Yes, and when is the
250
00:19:05,150 --> 00:19:06,150
date for you?
251
00:19:06,350 --> 00:19:07,770
Oh, nothing immediate.
252
00:19:08,070 --> 00:19:10,810
Well, that's good because we have
nothing available in the near future
253
00:19:11,290 --> 00:19:13,290
Well, actually, I'm talking about the
past.
254
00:19:13,570 --> 00:19:16,750
Like if a wedding took place here the
day Greg Teitelman was murdered.
255
00:19:18,030 --> 00:19:21,230
Well, yes, there was one, but who are
you?
256
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,660
Michelle Thomas, attorney, Matlock &
Associates. We're working on the case.
257
00:19:30,260 --> 00:19:34,100
I was wondering if the wedding was
filmed and if it was, who filmed it?
258
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,920
It was the Stillman wedding.
259
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,720
But nobody films weddings anymore.
260
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,480
It was taped.
261
00:19:48,430 --> 00:19:53,270
Maybe they don't film weddings, but Ben
Matlock learned a whole lot of filming
262
00:19:53,270 --> 00:19:58,390
still goes on in this town because they
had him waiting over 35 minutes to see
263
00:19:58,390 --> 00:20:00,250
the studio head, Larry Davis.
264
00:20:10,290 --> 00:20:11,490
Mr. Matlock.
265
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,440
Yeah. Sorry to keep you waiting.
266
00:20:13,660 --> 00:20:17,740
Mr. Davis? No, Mr. Davis is busy. I'm
Jordan Sanders, head of development. I
267
00:20:17,740 --> 00:20:19,700
handle all pitches. Who did you say your
agent was?
268
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,920
I'm not in the television business.
269
00:20:23,220 --> 00:20:24,220
I'm a lawyer.
270
00:20:24,620 --> 00:20:28,020
Well, nowadays, Mr. Matlock, in this
business, being an attorney means
271
00:20:28,020 --> 00:20:29,940
this business. No, no, no, no, no, no,
no.
272
00:20:30,380 --> 00:20:32,820
I represent Paul Bartell.
273
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,160
Oh.
274
00:20:34,380 --> 00:20:35,380
I'm embarrassed.
275
00:20:35,540 --> 00:20:36,900
I have to see Mr. Davis.
276
00:20:37,340 --> 00:20:39,200
I assure you I can speak for Mr. Davis.
277
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,680
My job is to know all of his moves even
before he makes them. There are no
278
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:43,680
secrets between us.
279
00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:45,300
Okay.
280
00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:47,480
Where was he at the time of the murder?
281
00:20:47,820 --> 00:20:48,880
I can't tell you that.
282
00:20:49,220 --> 00:20:50,220
Now, look.
283
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,960
I know this is a matter of utmost
importance, but it's a little
284
00:20:58,740 --> 00:21:00,560
I'll have to ask you to keep it
confidential.
285
00:21:01,420 --> 00:21:02,600
I can't promise that.
286
00:21:05,949 --> 00:21:09,770
That afternoon, Mr. Davis was with a
young woman, an actress.
287
00:21:10,290 --> 00:21:11,290
Her name?
288
00:21:13,070 --> 00:21:14,570
I have to know her name.
289
00:21:16,590 --> 00:21:17,590
Kate Sawyer.
290
00:21:18,590 --> 00:21:22,690
She did that comedy series about an
American -born girl who was a domestic
291
00:21:22,690 --> 00:21:23,690
Japan.
292
00:21:25,070 --> 00:21:27,790
It didn't last very long. Look, she's
doing features now.
293
00:21:28,570 --> 00:21:31,030
She was the one that Mr. Davis spent
that afternoon with.
294
00:21:31,330 --> 00:21:33,610
So he never saw Mr. Tomlin.
295
00:21:33,930 --> 00:21:35,690
No, he was very specific about that.
296
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:19,760
What do you want?
297
00:22:21,580 --> 00:22:22,580
I'm Michelle Thomas.
298
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,420
I called a little while ago. I was told
I could come and pick up the tape of the
299
00:22:26,420 --> 00:22:27,420
Stillman wedding.
300
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:28,880
Was it you I spoke to?
301
00:22:30,300 --> 00:22:33,700
Yeah, but someone just picked it up.
What? No, that's impossible.
302
00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:36,720
Who? I don't know. Some woman.
303
00:22:36,940 --> 00:22:38,160
She just went out the back door.
304
00:23:07,009 --> 00:23:08,009
Greg Titleman?
305
00:23:08,170 --> 00:23:10,390
Don't look at me. I didn't do it. I was
in New York.
306
00:23:11,450 --> 00:23:12,450
What was he like?
307
00:23:12,950 --> 00:23:14,370
Well, you see, I didn't see him that
often.
308
00:23:14,750 --> 00:23:16,510
Bill doesn't like us talking to the
executives.
309
00:23:16,790 --> 00:23:18,350
He says it could destroy your mind.
310
00:23:18,570 --> 00:23:21,950
See, because first they promise you spin
-offs, then get shots, and you're
311
00:23:21,950 --> 00:23:25,670
hooked. Next thing you know, you're
doing promotional spots for the network
312
00:23:25,670 --> 00:23:26,670
free.
313
00:23:28,330 --> 00:23:31,790
Okay, so Linda Lewis was trying to get
away with the tape of the wedding.
314
00:23:31,990 --> 00:23:34,530
Right, but Michelle stopped her.
315
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:45,700
are you doing how did you know to come
here i know the people at the bedford
316
00:23:45,700 --> 00:23:49,820
hotel i remember you do lunch there
three or four times a week and they told
317
00:23:49,820 --> 00:23:53,680
i was coming here to get the tape of the
wedding that's right why don't you want
318
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,400
me to see it it's not that i don't want
you to see it well it sure seems like it
319
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:02,240
considering you stole it it's just that
i wanted to see it first we'll both see
320
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,240
it
321
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,240
I understand, Michelle.
322
00:24:12,660 --> 00:24:16,060
I started out at the network as a page
when I was 18.
323
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,360
I have inched my way up and now I'm a
director of development. This job is
324
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:22,360
important to me.
325
00:24:22,700 --> 00:24:28,160
If my suspicions are correct, it was
your boss, the man taking Greg
326
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,000
job, who told you to steal that tape.
327
00:24:31,340 --> 00:24:32,540
I think I've said enough.
328
00:24:33,180 --> 00:24:34,320
Well, not quite.
329
00:24:36,100 --> 00:24:39,860
You haven't said why David Martin wanted
to see that tape.
330
00:24:41,070 --> 00:24:42,270
And I'm not going to.
331
00:24:42,530 --> 00:24:46,750
Miss Lewis, my client is in a lot of
trouble.
332
00:24:47,010 --> 00:24:48,810
His life is at stake.
333
00:24:49,150 --> 00:24:53,610
And if you continue to stonewall for the
network, this pretty little career of
334
00:24:53,610 --> 00:24:57,170
yours is going right out the window. I
promise you that.
335
00:24:57,570 --> 00:24:59,430
Now, why did he want to see that tape?
336
00:25:05,430 --> 00:25:08,670
David thought that Larry Davis might be
on the tape.
337
00:25:09,820 --> 00:25:13,300
He's one of our biggest suppliers of
shows, and he's a close friend of
338
00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:16,240
David wanted me to see if there was
anything on the tape that might have
339
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:17,300
incriminated Mr. Davis.
340
00:25:17,580 --> 00:25:20,620
Did he say why he thought something
might be on the tape?
341
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:21,880
Yes.
342
00:25:22,860 --> 00:25:26,460
He said that Greg and Larry Davis had a
big falling out.
343
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:27,760
Of what?
344
00:25:28,340 --> 00:25:29,340
That he didn't know.
345
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,520
I'd like to speak with Mr. Davis.
346
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,880
I don't care how busy he is.
347
00:25:53,620 --> 00:25:58,580
You tell him I've got to see him right
away, and for his own good, he'd better
348
00:25:58,580 --> 00:25:59,580
get unbusy.
349
00:26:02,300 --> 00:26:03,300
I'm on hold.
350
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:05,680
I hate that.
351
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:06,920
Hello.
352
00:26:07,740 --> 00:26:09,080
That's fine. I'll be right there.
353
00:26:17,439 --> 00:26:20,120
Uh, Ben Matlock, Mr. Davis is expecting
me.
354
00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:25,080
Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Matlock. Uh, Mr.
Davis got called away unexpectedly.
355
00:26:25,460 --> 00:26:27,120
He said he didn't know where to reach
you.
356
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,500
I don't believe that. Well, I believe
Mr. Sanders is still here. I'll buzz
357
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,400
Mr. Matlock, so good to see you again.
You're not going to think so in a
358
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,400
Well, aren't we upset? May I ask about
what? I'm tired of getting the running
359
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,159
around. Mr.
360
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,560
Davis was supposed to see me.
361
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,020
Something important killed him. The only
thing that's important, so far as I'm
362
00:26:44,020 --> 00:26:48,040
concerned, is that Greg Teitelman was
killed, and my client is on trial for
363
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,860
murder. Why don't we discuss this in my
office, Mr. Mellock?
364
00:26:51,060 --> 00:26:56,040
I know that Larry Davis and Greg
Teitelman had a bad falling out, and I
365
00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,480
that David Martin is trying to protect
Larry Davis, and I know for sure that
366
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,020
Larry Davis is trying to avoid me. Now,
either.
367
00:27:03,580 --> 00:27:08,360
Either he talks to me now like a regular
human being, or I'm going to put every
368
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:12,860
process server in the whole damn state
on him and drag his cannon to court
369
00:27:12,860 --> 00:27:17,500
he has to answer my questions in public
and the reporters can print it in big
370
00:27:17,500 --> 00:27:20,860
letters so the studio people can read
it. You got that?
371
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:28,720
Ben found out that sometimes in this
town it pays to overact because no more
372
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:29,720
than an hour later.
373
00:27:34,979 --> 00:27:36,000
Yeah, Larry Davis.
374
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,600
And I'm terribly sorry about before, but
it was totally unavoidable.
375
00:27:39,860 --> 00:27:43,360
I have a $25 million production with an
actress who wouldn't come out of a trail
376
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:44,380
if something had to be done.
377
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:51,720
Yeah.
378
00:27:53,740 --> 00:27:55,180
No, it's still in galleys.
379
00:27:56,060 --> 00:27:58,820
Make an offer on an option, but don't
budge on the turnaround.
380
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,320
So what'd you do?
381
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:08,520
About what?
382
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:09,880
The actress.
383
00:28:10,100 --> 00:28:11,100
The actress.
384
00:28:11,260 --> 00:28:14,740
The one who wouldn't come out of her
trailer, you know, $25 million?
385
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,280
Production, right.
386
00:28:16,420 --> 00:28:18,000
I got her a dermatologist.
387
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,400
She didn't want to admit it, but the
reason she didn't want to be filmed was
388
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:22,400
had a blemish.
389
00:28:22,620 --> 00:28:23,620
Had a what?
390
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,820
$25 million blemish.
391
00:28:26,340 --> 00:28:27,340
Oh.
392
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,920
Well, I'm glad we finally got together.
393
00:28:31,820 --> 00:28:33,320
Could I ask you a couple of questions?
394
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,060
Why don't we order first?
395
00:28:36,469 --> 00:28:37,570
You ready, Mr. Davis?
396
00:28:37,890 --> 00:28:38,890
Yes, indeed, Peter.
397
00:28:39,290 --> 00:28:40,390
Cobb salad, no egg.
398
00:28:40,830 --> 00:28:41,830
And, sir?
399
00:28:42,270 --> 00:28:44,250
I'll have that, but with egg.
400
00:28:44,770 --> 00:28:45,770
Very good.
401
00:28:46,430 --> 00:28:47,430
No egg.
402
00:28:48,510 --> 00:28:49,510
Cholesterol.
403
00:28:49,690 --> 00:28:51,450
Don't eat it for 100 years. You'll live
longer.
404
00:28:52,330 --> 00:28:53,330
It's a thought.
405
00:28:53,450 --> 00:28:54,450
It's a thought.
406
00:28:55,710 --> 00:28:58,030
Could I ask you a personal question?
407
00:28:58,570 --> 00:28:59,650
No problem. Ask.
408
00:29:00,140 --> 00:29:07,040
I heard that you had a falling out with
Greg Teitelman before he... Michael, did
409
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:07,879
you see him?
410
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,720
Larry, thought you'd like to know. Steve
made the deal.
411
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,060
We're all very happy.
412
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,620
We would be, too, if you hadn't robbed
us blind.
413
00:29:15,020 --> 00:29:17,220
Me? I'd never do that to you.
414
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:25,240
About this rumor that you had had a
falling out with Greg Teitelman...
415
00:29:25,470 --> 00:29:28,850
Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt, Larry,
but we have a major disaster.
416
00:29:29,670 --> 00:29:34,090
Domino has caused us to go so far over
schedule that we either replace him or
417
00:29:34,090 --> 00:29:35,090
pull the plug.
418
00:29:36,170 --> 00:29:37,170
Oh, wait a minute.
419
00:29:37,370 --> 00:29:40,490
Sorry, Mr. Matlock. Call my secretary.
We'll set up a meeting.
420
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,360
We've been through all the Stillman
wedding tape and Larry Davis isn't on
421
00:29:55,660 --> 00:29:57,980
Are you sure? I was certain he was one.
422
00:29:58,260 --> 00:30:01,000
It's all right. I think we got something
even better. Yeah.
423
00:30:02,020 --> 00:30:06,140
David Martin wasn't trying to protect
Larry Davis. He was protecting himself.
424
00:30:06,140 --> 00:30:08,760
lied. Look, he was at the wedding.
425
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:10,960
That's David Martin?
426
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,220
Uh -huh. The miserable little... Hello?
427
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,200
Just a minute. It's for you.
428
00:30:18,540 --> 00:30:19,540
Jordan Sanders.
429
00:30:25,139 --> 00:30:27,220
Hello? David Martin did what?
430
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:29,800
Are you sure?
431
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:33,800
That's interesting.
432
00:30:38,060 --> 00:30:44,460
Mr. Martin, what was your position at
the network when Greg Teitelman died?
433
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,240
Senior Vice President of Series, Movies,
and Specials.
434
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:54,020
So you were pretty far up the executive
ladder, right? I was second only to the
435
00:30:54,020 --> 00:30:55,040
president of the network.
436
00:30:55,260 --> 00:30:57,200
And you were likely heir to his job.
437
00:30:58,020 --> 00:31:02,740
I've already been promoted to that job,
which you know. Yes, I do. Your Honor, I
438
00:31:02,740 --> 00:31:06,500
don't see where this line of questioning
is leading. Mr. Martin is not on trial.
439
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:11,420
Your Honor, I'm just trying to show that
this witness had strong motive himself
440
00:31:11,420 --> 00:31:15,720
and that his credibility is questionable
at best. Wait a damn second. You and
441
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,720
everybody else here knows how I felt
about Gray.
442
00:31:18,990 --> 00:31:22,070
The witness will refrain from outbursts
in my courtroom.
443
00:31:23,070 --> 00:31:27,610
I'm sorry, Your Honor, but Greg
Teitelman was like a brother to me. No
444
00:31:27,610 --> 00:31:31,710
person in this town was more responsible
for my success. I love that man. I
445
00:31:31,710 --> 00:31:36,510
certainly wouldn't harm him. Mr. Martin,
you are here to answer questions and
446
00:31:36,510 --> 00:31:37,510
not offer speeches.
447
00:31:38,150 --> 00:31:39,290
Proceed, Mr. Matlock.
448
00:31:40,510 --> 00:31:41,510
Thank you.
449
00:31:43,350 --> 00:31:47,470
Mr. Martin, I appreciate your strong
feelings for...
450
00:31:48,490 --> 00:31:52,330
Greg Teitelman, but I must ask these
questions.
451
00:31:53,050 --> 00:31:59,850
Now, as a vice president, you were a
select member of a small group
452
00:31:59,850 --> 00:32:03,890
who decided what shows went on the air,
weren't you?
453
00:32:04,410 --> 00:32:06,690
Objection. I failed to see the
relevancy.
454
00:32:06,970 --> 00:32:12,430
Your Honor, this will become eminently
clear if the court will bear with me.
455
00:32:13,050 --> 00:32:14,050
Overruled for now.
456
00:32:14,150 --> 00:32:15,270
You may answer.
457
00:32:16,010 --> 00:32:17,010
Okay.
458
00:32:17,450 --> 00:32:21,830
At all of the networks, there's a group
of men and women who can say no, but
459
00:32:21,830 --> 00:32:26,310
only two or three who have the power to
say yes. I was one of them. And millions
460
00:32:26,310 --> 00:32:28,570
of dollars are at stake on those yeses,
right?
461
00:32:28,850 --> 00:32:31,250
Yes. But that one was for free.
462
00:32:32,470 --> 00:32:33,690
You know your comedy.
463
00:32:34,770 --> 00:32:40,050
And careers hang in the balance on these
scheduling decisions, don't they?
464
00:32:40,590 --> 00:32:45,450
You could say that. And I understand
that some shows stay on the air.
465
00:32:46,140 --> 00:32:51,300
Five or six years and become worth
hundreds of millions of dollars.
466
00:32:52,260 --> 00:32:59,260
Yes, that's true. So I guess the people
who have shows to sell try to exert
467
00:32:59,260 --> 00:33:05,060
a certain influence on the people who
buy the shows and put them on the air.
468
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,500
I suppose. I've heard rumors of such
things happening, but I've never
469
00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:10,500
seen it myself.
470
00:33:10,620 --> 00:33:14,500
You've never been offered a vacation or
given a gift?
471
00:33:15,370 --> 00:33:19,950
When you knew that the purpose was to
influence your opinion?
472
00:33:20,350 --> 00:33:23,790
Nothing that I consider out of the
ordinary course of business, no.
473
00:33:25,170 --> 00:33:32,150
Oh, so you would consider a $100 ,000
loan to be in the course
474
00:33:32,150 --> 00:33:33,930
of ordinary business?
475
00:33:34,330 --> 00:33:37,430
Wait a minute. What are you talking
about? I'm talking about a loan you got
476
00:33:37,430 --> 00:33:41,890
Larry Davis. Larry Davis is a friend of
mine. A loan on which you have not made
477
00:33:41,890 --> 00:33:44,170
one single payment. Let me take that
back.
478
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:49,940
You actually paid it back in full
because you lobbied vigorously for two
479
00:33:49,940 --> 00:33:50,939
Davis' shows.
480
00:33:50,940 --> 00:33:52,880
I did no such thing. Oh?
481
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:59,520
But after you got the $100 ,000, isn't
it true that two of Larry Davis' shows
482
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,760
went on the network schedule? One thing
had nothing to do with the other. They
483
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:04,760
were both good shows.
484
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:11,260
And isn't it true that Greg Teitelman
found out you were on the take?
485
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:12,679
I'm warning you.
486
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,320
And I'm reminding you, this is a
courtroom.
487
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,480
You're not in a network office
threatening some agent over the
488
00:34:23,860 --> 00:34:30,000
And may I remind you, Mr. Medlock, no
matter how it's done in Atlanta, I am
489
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,060
one who issued the orders in this court.
490
00:34:32,260 --> 00:34:34,420
I'm sorry, Your Honor, it got away from
me.
491
00:34:36,980 --> 00:34:38,219
Isn't that the way it happened?
492
00:34:38,820 --> 00:34:41,260
Greg Teileman found out you were on the
take.
493
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,699
And he said to you he had no choice but
to let you go.
494
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:51,760
No. And because Greg Teitelman was a
very secretive man, he told no one what
495
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:52,379
had done.
496
00:34:52,380 --> 00:34:53,440
And you knew that.
497
00:34:53,940 --> 00:34:56,179
And you went to his hotel to plead with
him.
498
00:34:56,860 --> 00:34:58,580
I wasn't there.
499
00:35:00,380 --> 00:35:06,640
Your Honor, I would like to refresh this
witness's recollection with a
500
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,120
demonstration that the court and counsel
discussed this morning.
501
00:35:10,340 --> 00:35:11,340
Proceed.
502
00:35:12,330 --> 00:35:18,350
This tape has been identified as Defense
503
00:35:18,350 --> 00:35:25,190
Exhibit G, and it has been stipulated to
depict the Stillman wedding at
504
00:35:25,190 --> 00:35:28,050
the Bedford Hotel on the day of the
murder.
505
00:35:28,910 --> 00:35:35,070
Now, this spot in the tape right there,
506
00:35:35,150 --> 00:35:38,750
this picture, has been blown up.
507
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,200
So as we can more clearly see it.
508
00:35:43,300 --> 00:35:46,440
And whom do we see, Mr. Martin?
509
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,820
Well, this tape does refresh your memory
about seeing Mr.
510
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,500
Teitelman at his hotel, doesn't it?
511
00:35:59,020 --> 00:36:00,020
All right.
512
00:36:00,660 --> 00:36:01,660
It's true.
513
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:07,240
Greg found out that Larry was paying me
off, and he said he was firing me.
514
00:36:07,670 --> 00:36:11,630
And I did go to the hotel, and I did
plead with him. But when I left, he was
515
00:36:11,630 --> 00:36:13,710
alive. We have only your word for that.
516
00:36:13,990 --> 00:36:16,070
No. No, you have more than just my word.
517
00:36:16,590 --> 00:36:19,590
When I left the Bedford Hotel, I went
directly to my attorney's home.
518
00:36:20,190 --> 00:36:23,790
And he's sitting right over there.
Howard. Howard, stand up. Howard Burke.
519
00:36:24,330 --> 00:36:25,410
Ask him. He'll tell you.
520
00:36:26,010 --> 00:36:30,010
He called Greg at the Bedford Hotel
after I arrived at his house.
521
00:36:30,350 --> 00:36:32,650
And he talked with Mr. Donovan? Yes.
522
00:36:33,350 --> 00:36:37,670
Yes, he did. He asked Greg if... He
would allow me to resign and not go
523
00:36:37,670 --> 00:36:38,670
with what I'd done.
524
00:36:39,250 --> 00:36:40,470
And Greg said yes.
525
00:36:42,270 --> 00:36:43,430
And he was still alive?
526
00:36:44,550 --> 00:36:45,590
Oh, very much so.
527
00:36:46,510 --> 00:36:47,890
Well, swear him in.
528
00:36:49,870 --> 00:36:51,650
Swear him in. He'll verify it.
529
00:36:57,070 --> 00:36:58,710
No, I don't think that'll be necessary.
530
00:37:05,900 --> 00:37:06,960
No further questions.
531
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,840
Well, Terry, Ben must have been very
upset when David Martin's alibi checked
532
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,040
and he knew he couldn't prove David had
killed Greg Teitelman. Well, not just
533
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:25,040
upset, worried.
534
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,500
Everything pointed back to his client
again. Things were looking very dark.
535
00:37:33,700 --> 00:37:35,140
Ben, I'm glad you came by.
536
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,060
This is Mrs. Ida Stillman, the mother of
the groom. Hi, Miss Stillman. How do
537
00:37:39,060 --> 00:37:42,720
you do? We've been going over the
videotape of the wedding to see if she
538
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:45,840
find someone she doesn't recognize
besides David Martin.
539
00:37:46,380 --> 00:37:49,740
Anybody who didn't belong at the
wedding. Yeah, did you find anything
540
00:37:49,740 --> 00:37:50,740
yet.
541
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:52,680
Ben,
542
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,680
I rechecked Lane Lockletter's alibi.
543
00:37:55,980 --> 00:37:56,919
It's solid.
544
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,140
One of the coaches of the Pepperdine
track team was out there doing laps with
545
00:38:00,140 --> 00:38:01,140
him that day. Oh.
546
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,560
Kind of a shame, isn't it?
547
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,160
Been simple if it was him.
548
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,240
So, Miss Stillman, did your boy find
himself a nice girl?
549
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:12,520
Oh, yes.
550
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,840
He couldn't have done better if I'd
chosen her myself.
551
00:38:15,500 --> 00:38:16,500
Good, good.
552
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,920
I think it's nice when the in -laws get
along.
553
00:38:19,220 --> 00:38:20,078
Oh, yes.
554
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,600
I always got along with my mother -in
-law. We used to do things together, go
555
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,460
ballgames, haunts. She was a great shot.
556
00:38:25,980 --> 00:38:27,360
Wait a minute. Stop it right there.
557
00:38:27,900 --> 00:38:28,900
What is it?
558
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:30,360
Now, who is it?
559
00:38:30,740 --> 00:38:31,740
Can you back that up?
560
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:37,360
Hold it.
561
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:38,960
Look right there.
562
00:38:40,860 --> 00:38:42,000
All right.
563
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:47,560
Uh, Mr.
564
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:52,960
Davis, you are the top man at Westland
Studios.
565
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:54,440
When I last checked.
566
00:38:54,740 --> 00:38:56,600
You know, uneasy lies the ground.
567
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:04,650
Now, it's common knowledge that you were
friends with Greg Teitelman. For years,
568
00:39:04,830 --> 00:39:07,510
even going back to the days when you
were an actor.
569
00:39:07,810 --> 00:39:08,788
Please, please.
570
00:39:08,790 --> 00:39:11,070
I'll have to touch up my 8x10 glossies.
571
00:39:13,050 --> 00:39:14,050
Yes.
572
00:39:14,490 --> 00:39:17,170
I knew Greg and we did business together
for years.
573
00:39:17,550 --> 00:39:20,990
And you knew that he had come into town
for meetings that weekend.
574
00:39:21,310 --> 00:39:22,310
I was one of them, yes.
575
00:39:22,630 --> 00:39:27,370
But you never saw him. That's right. You
never even got over to his hotel.
576
00:39:27,590 --> 00:39:28,590
That's correct.
577
00:39:28,670 --> 00:39:31,310
According to your assistant, Mr.
578
00:39:31,970 --> 00:39:32,970
Jordan Sanders,
579
00:39:33,630 --> 00:39:38,950
You spent most of that day with a young
actress, Kate Sawyer.
580
00:39:39,990 --> 00:39:42,710
I dragged her into it. I didn't do the
dragging.
581
00:39:42,970 --> 00:39:44,530
Just answer the question.
582
00:39:45,810 --> 00:39:51,470
Yes, I was with that young lady. Can
anyone confirm that you were with her at
583
00:39:51,470 --> 00:39:52,448
the time of the murder?
584
00:39:52,450 --> 00:39:54,910
Miss Sawyer herself, but she's out of
the country right now.
585
00:39:55,130 --> 00:39:56,770
What if someone called her on telephone?
586
00:39:57,310 --> 00:40:00,170
That location in East Africa.
587
00:40:01,430 --> 00:40:02,430
And she...
588
00:40:02,710 --> 00:40:07,170
said that she was not with you the day
of the murder. Well, if she did, she'd
589
00:40:07,170 --> 00:40:08,590
lying. I was with her.
590
00:40:09,110 --> 00:40:13,070
She wasn't even in Los Angeles that
weekend. She was in Acapulco with
591
00:40:13,070 --> 00:40:14,070
fellow.
592
00:40:16,070 --> 00:40:19,630
Mr. Matlock, I think Lane Lockletter has
been giving you lessons.
593
00:40:20,450 --> 00:40:25,090
But if that were the truth, you'd have
Kate Sawyer here in court, and I don't
594
00:40:25,090 --> 00:40:28,970
see her today. So you can try and trick
me all you want, but I know I'm telling
595
00:40:28,970 --> 00:40:29,729
the truth.
596
00:40:29,730 --> 00:40:30,730
Yeah.
597
00:40:31,290 --> 00:40:32,290
Well,
598
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:33,600
You're right.
599
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,380
I did try to trick you.
600
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:44,460
And if that were true and she were here
today, I would have her in the
601
00:40:44,460 --> 00:40:45,460
courtroom.
602
00:40:48,420 --> 00:40:50,000
That is Kate Sawyer, isn't it?
603
00:40:51,420 --> 00:40:55,720
I won't tell you it didn't take some
doing, but that is Kate Sawyer.
604
00:40:56,720 --> 00:40:58,300
Shall I put her on the stand?
605
00:40:58,710 --> 00:41:01,370
Right, so I wasn't with her that day,
but that doesn't prove anything.
606
00:41:01,750 --> 00:41:02,870
No, but it's a stark thing.
607
00:41:05,250 --> 00:41:07,630
You remember the other day when we
ordered lunch?
608
00:41:08,050 --> 00:41:09,930
Yes. We didn't get a chance to eat.
609
00:41:10,150 --> 00:41:11,170
I had to leave.
610
00:41:11,470 --> 00:41:13,950
Yeah, you had multi -million dollar
problems.
611
00:41:14,550 --> 00:41:18,930
Pulled a plug on one picture, another
picture had a pimple, but we did order.
612
00:41:19,730 --> 00:41:21,990
You ordered Cobb salad, right?
613
00:41:22,570 --> 00:41:23,770
That's right. No egg.
614
00:41:24,090 --> 00:41:25,090
I'm allergic.
615
00:41:25,250 --> 00:41:27,730
Is that a typical order for you?
616
00:41:28,090 --> 00:41:30,370
Yeah. Frequently, that's what I have.
617
00:41:30,690 --> 00:41:34,730
Your Honor, at this time I'd like to
enter into evidence.
618
00:41:35,690 --> 00:41:37,350
Defense Exhibit H.
619
00:41:38,750 --> 00:41:44,650
This is a computerized luncheon order
taken from Greg Teitelman's room the day
620
00:41:44,650 --> 00:41:45,650
of the murder.
621
00:41:45,970 --> 00:41:48,050
Cobb salad, no egg. What do you think?
622
00:41:48,330 --> 00:41:49,650
I think so what?
623
00:41:50,090 --> 00:41:51,770
All these little things add up.
624
00:41:52,930 --> 00:41:56,850
When Jordan Sanders called me, you
didn't know that, did you?
625
00:41:57,670 --> 00:42:04,370
When he called me to tell me about the
loan you made to David Martin, I missed
626
00:42:04,370 --> 00:42:11,290
the point. I didn't realize right off
that he was gunning
627
00:42:11,290 --> 00:42:12,370
for you.
628
00:42:14,290 --> 00:42:18,630
But a man as smart as Greg Teitelman had
to get the point right away.
629
00:42:20,130 --> 00:42:22,850
He was a lot of things to a lot of
people.
630
00:42:23,330 --> 00:42:26,350
But above all, he was an ethical man.
631
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:33,720
And when he found out about this money,
you knew it was all over.
632
00:42:35,180 --> 00:42:37,700
He'd never buy another show from you.
633
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,540
You'd lose your power, your authority.
634
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:45,680
That's the end of it. You couldn't
handle that, so you killed Greg Totten.
635
00:42:46,020 --> 00:42:47,920
That isn't the truth.
636
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:54,980
Your Honor, at this time, I'd like the
court's permission to replay a
637
00:42:54,980 --> 00:42:57,450
part... Defense Exhibit G.
638
00:42:58,370 --> 00:43:02,510
Objection. We've already seen that tape.
We know Davis isn't on it. This is a
639
00:43:02,510 --> 00:43:06,010
new witness. I have that right. And we
may have missed something.
640
00:43:07,750 --> 00:43:09,470
Overruled. I'll permit it. Thank you.
641
00:43:11,210 --> 00:43:18,030
The tape was shot at such an angle that
the bungalows are not in the
642
00:43:18,030 --> 00:43:22,150
background. Just the scenic woodsy part,
as you can see. But look.
643
00:43:22,690 --> 00:43:24,470
Look. Look right here.
644
00:43:25,500 --> 00:43:30,640
There. There's a fellow with a little
Super 8 movie camera.
645
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:36,500
He shot his own version of the wedding.
He got everything in. The kitchen, the
646
00:43:36,500 --> 00:43:39,500
parking lot, and the bungalows.
647
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,420
So now, let's see what's on the film.
648
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:48,320
There you go.
649
00:43:54,700 --> 00:43:57,420
Okay, can we just... Okay.
650
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:03,700
There. Okay, now here it's in focus.
There's the mother.
651
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,000
Now there, there's my client.
652
00:44:06,260 --> 00:44:09,420
Paul Bartell on his way to Greg
Teitelman's bungalow.
653
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:14,680
And here's more pictures of the wedding.
The bride, of course, and the wife.
654
00:44:15,940 --> 00:44:16,940
Picture of the cake.
655
00:44:17,700 --> 00:44:22,800
And there is Mr. Bartell leaving after
he witnessed...
656
00:44:23,370 --> 00:44:24,430
The victim's body.
657
00:44:24,830 --> 00:44:28,950
Your Honor, what does this prove? We
already know that he entered and he
658
00:44:29,270 --> 00:44:31,670
Now, wait, wait, wait, wait. Now, look
at this. Look at this. Look at this.
659
00:44:31,690 --> 00:44:32,368
Look. See?
660
00:44:32,370 --> 00:44:33,370
There.
661
00:44:34,170 --> 00:44:35,310
There. Look at that.
662
00:44:36,250 --> 00:44:37,250
That's you, Mr. Davis.
663
00:44:37,510 --> 00:44:41,930
I took the liberty of having this little
piece of film blown up so we could
664
00:44:41,930 --> 00:44:43,550
prove that was you.
665
00:44:52,170 --> 00:44:57,940
You? You had already murdered Mr.
Teitelman by the time my client arrived
666
00:44:57,940 --> 00:45:01,260
bungalow. You hid, waited for him to
leave.
667
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:07,740
And then you decided to take advantage
of his presence and frame him for the
668
00:45:07,740 --> 00:45:10,800
murder by planting the knife in his car.
669
00:45:12,500 --> 00:45:18,440
I guess you figured, what the hell, get
another competitor out of the way at the
670
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:19,440
same time.
671
00:45:21,930 --> 00:45:24,090
Kill two birds with one knife, so to
speak.
672
00:45:29,430 --> 00:45:30,430
No further questions.
673
00:45:37,210 --> 00:45:42,510
So, to bring us up to date, concluding
arguments were made this afternoon, and
674
00:45:42,510 --> 00:45:44,630
now everyone's waiting for the jury.
675
00:45:44,850 --> 00:45:49,530
I spoke with Ben Matlock earlier today,
and I asked him, how did he feel? He
676
00:45:49,530 --> 00:45:54,950
said, and I quote, Same as I always do
when waiting for a jury of 12 people.
677
00:45:55,210 --> 00:45:56,870
Nervous, because you never know.
678
00:45:57,470 --> 00:46:01,010
Well, Terry, we can appreciate that,
having waited for overnight ratings.
679
00:46:08,190 --> 00:46:09,710
Has the jury reached a verdict?
680
00:46:12,050 --> 00:46:13,150
We have, Your Honor.
681
00:46:13,930 --> 00:46:17,890
We find the defendant, Paul J. Bartell,
not guilty.
682
00:46:18,170 --> 00:46:20,070
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen of the
jury.
683
00:46:21,020 --> 00:46:22,060
Court is adjourned.
684
00:46:22,380 --> 00:46:24,840
Well, I don't know what to say.
685
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,440
I had a speech prepared, but I don't
think I'd like to thank the Academy.
686
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:29,399
on.
687
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,080
I'll tell you the truth. I enjoyed
myself.
688
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:33,640
Well,
689
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:39,960
why don't we take lunch and do a
meeting? Or is that...
690
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,400
Do a meeting and take lunch?
691
00:46:42,860 --> 00:46:43,860
Either one.
692
00:46:44,240 --> 00:46:45,420
Let's do both. Okay.
693
00:46:50,860 --> 00:46:54,600
And that concludes this evening segment
of Hollywood Today.
694
00:46:54,980 --> 00:46:59,000
Greg really cared about the quality of
his shows, and he had a temper.
695
00:46:59,260 --> 00:47:03,620
I remember one time he was so upset with
a script, he started pounding it on the
696
00:47:03,620 --> 00:47:07,760
wall, tearing it up, yelling. An alien
life form wouldn't say that.
697
00:47:08,180 --> 00:47:13,240
So I calmly asked him, Greg, do you want
to help us rewrite this script, or
698
00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:16,200
would you rather take it back to your
office and slap it around a little?
699
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:17,960
He didn't laugh.
