1
00:02:43,650 --> 00:02:44,650
Hold it right there.
2
00:02:54,470 --> 00:02:55,470
Mr.
3
00:03:01,530 --> 00:03:02,750
Wright, you're next witness.
4
00:03:05,050 --> 00:03:08,730
And what did you do with the watch that
came off the defendant's wrist during
5
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:09,730
your struggle with him?
6
00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:11,170
I turned it over to the police.
7
00:03:11,710 --> 00:03:12,710
Thank you.
8
00:03:12,830 --> 00:03:13,830
No further questions.
9
00:03:14,230 --> 00:03:15,230
Your witness.
10
00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:20,970
Mr. DeCarlo, how many lights were on in
the hallway that night?
11
00:03:21,810 --> 00:03:24,150
None. Did you have your flashlight on?
12
00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:26,510
No, I turned it off so I could sneak up
on him.
13
00:03:27,370 --> 00:03:30,530
So, the hallway was completely dark.
14
00:03:31,810 --> 00:03:32,930
Yeah, pretty much so.
15
00:03:33,490 --> 00:03:37,450
And how long was it after you grabbed
the man's wrist that he hit you?
16
00:03:38,730 --> 00:03:39,870
A couple of seconds.
17
00:03:40,170 --> 00:03:41,170
A couple of seconds?
18
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,760
Yeah.
19
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,160
Mr. DiCarlo, you saw the man who broke
into Maxwell Toys for two, maybe three
20
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,600
seconds in a hallway that was
practically pitch black.
21
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,720
Now, can you really say with absolute
certainty that it was the defendant,
22
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,740
Giles? Come on, I got the guy's watch.
Can you say unequivocally that the man
23
00:03:59,740 --> 00:04:01,980
you saw in that dark hallway was the
defendant?
24
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:08,540
Well... No. Thank you. But I got the
guy's watch.
25
00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:10,520
That's all. Thank you. You may step
down.
26
00:04:11,660 --> 00:04:12,660
Next witness.
27
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,120
Sidebar conference, Your Honor.
28
00:04:24,500 --> 00:04:29,100
Your Honor, my next witness is the
detective who traced the watch the guard
29
00:04:29,100 --> 00:04:31,660
recovered to the defendant. You mean the
alleged watch.
30
00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:35,400
It's still missing from the property
room. Your Honor, as far as the defense
31
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:36,960
concerned, this watch doesn't even
exist.
32
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:40,620
And if this detective attempts to
testify about it, I'll move this to
33
00:04:40,620 --> 00:04:43,980
testimony. The watch exists, Your Honor.
It's been misplaced.
34
00:04:44,260 --> 00:04:47,020
Now, if the state can have a little more
time... More time?
35
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,180
My client's right to a speedy trial is
being trampled all over this courtroom,
36
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,159
Your Honor.
37
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,940
24 hours. That's all I ask.
38
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:55,840
That's all you're getting, Mr. Wright.
39
00:04:56,140 --> 00:04:57,140
24 hours.
40
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,520
Not a minute more.
41
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,520
Thank you, Your Honor.
42
00:05:07,310 --> 00:05:08,309
What the hell's going on?
43
00:05:08,310 --> 00:05:11,610
Sorry, I couldn't call you because I
still don't have the watch. I know you
44
00:05:11,610 --> 00:05:14,070
don't, but I don't like the way you got
everybody at the precinct because it's
45
00:05:14,070 --> 00:05:17,390
my fault. Well, you were the last person
to see it. The hell I was. You were.
46
00:05:17,950 --> 00:05:21,830
When I opened that envelope, there was
nothing inside it. It was the last time
47
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:23,550
saw it. Then somebody stole it.
48
00:05:24,130 --> 00:05:27,790
If you want to go back to looking like
an ace detective, then find it.
49
00:05:28,150 --> 00:05:30,210
Nobody steals a watch worth $59 .95.
50
00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:33,310
Now I wouldn't sit in the same room with
a bag of coke worth a hundred times
51
00:05:33,310 --> 00:05:34,310
that much.
52
00:05:34,630 --> 00:05:36,230
Are you saying I stole it?
53
00:05:36,700 --> 00:05:40,520
So the judge can dismiss the case and I
can wind up looking like a jerk? Use
54
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,520
your brain, Doug.
55
00:06:00,980 --> 00:06:02,040
So what's the problem?
56
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,480
Getting some heat from the detective who
traced that watch to Giles.
57
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:08,280
Doug Savage?
58
00:06:09,460 --> 00:06:10,460
Good man.
59
00:06:10,660 --> 00:06:11,660
Yeah.
60
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,900
He's not gonna let up till he gets
something on me.
61
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:16,280
I want out.
62
00:06:16,780 --> 00:06:17,780
Then you're out.
63
00:06:19,940 --> 00:06:21,540
I also want severance pay.
64
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,360
How much?
65
00:06:23,380 --> 00:06:24,620
A hundred thousand cash.
66
00:06:25,180 --> 00:06:27,700
I can resign and be out of town by the
end of the week.
67
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,300
With you gone, what's to keep me from
winding up holding the proverbial bag?
68
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,740
There's no connection between us. I've
been very careful.
69
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,900
Getting that much cash together will
take me at least a day.
70
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,120
Bring it to my house tomorrow night at 8
o 'clock.
71
00:06:43,020 --> 00:06:44,020
I'll be out in the shop.
72
00:06:44,660 --> 00:06:45,660
What about your wife?
73
00:06:47,420 --> 00:06:48,420
She'll be at the movies.
74
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,780
I don't want to go by myself.
75
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,160
Call your sister.
76
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:03,720
What about you?
77
00:07:04,740 --> 00:07:07,140
I just want to be alone for a while.
78
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:11,000
Do some work out in the shop.
79
00:07:13,420 --> 00:07:15,320
Howard, what's wrong?
80
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,580
This case I'm working on, I'm probably
going to lose it.
81
00:07:21,420 --> 00:07:22,960
You lose lots of cases.
82
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,680
Thanks.
83
00:07:25,220 --> 00:07:26,660
You know what I mean.
84
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,140
I've never seen you this worried before.
I'm not worried.
85
00:07:45,980 --> 00:07:47,600
Just fed up.
86
00:07:48,660 --> 00:07:49,660
Burnt out.
87
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,940
Jean, you know how we've always talked
about just packing up and moving to
88
00:07:56,940 --> 00:07:57,940
Colorado?
89
00:07:58,220 --> 00:07:59,220
Yeah.
90
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,020
Well, maybe it's time we did more than
just talk about it.
91
00:08:12,270 --> 00:08:13,270
Love you.
92
00:08:16,050 --> 00:08:17,050
I love you.
93
00:08:30,610 --> 00:08:33,070
Mr. Wright, I believe you are about to
call your next witness.
94
00:08:33,789 --> 00:08:34,789
Sidebar, Your Honor.
95
00:08:41,130 --> 00:08:42,450
Your Honor, the watch is still missing.
96
00:08:43,010 --> 00:08:46,830
Your Honor, without that alleged watch,
the state does not have one shred of
97
00:08:46,830 --> 00:08:49,890
proof that my client committed the break
-in. I have the testimony of the night
98
00:08:49,890 --> 00:08:52,690
watchman. You have the dip. I ripped the
testimony to shreds yesterday.
99
00:08:52,990 --> 00:08:53,990
I beg to differ.
100
00:08:54,290 --> 00:08:57,410
Your Honor, it's obvious the state
doesn't have a prayer of proving the
101
00:08:57,410 --> 00:08:59,790
brought against my client. I therefore
move to dismiss.
102
00:09:00,430 --> 00:09:01,770
It would seem you have a point.
103
00:09:02,330 --> 00:09:06,550
And you, Mr. Wright, you have wasted
three weeks of this court's time, not to
104
00:09:06,550 --> 00:09:08,370
mention that of the jurors and the
witnesses.
105
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,120
There's no excuse for this kind of
ineptness.
106
00:09:12,140 --> 00:09:13,440
Back to your seats, gentlemen.
107
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,400
As a result of the prosecution's failure
to produce critical evidence in this
108
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:28,660
case and in the interest of justice, the
court, on its own motion, is dismissing
109
00:09:28,660 --> 00:09:29,900
the charges against this defendant.
110
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,760
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your
service.
111
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,980
You're excused, and this court is in
recess.
112
00:10:36,590 --> 00:10:37,590
Are you Tom?
113
00:11:12,170 --> 00:11:13,370
The Attorney General's coming here?
114
00:11:13,790 --> 00:11:15,250
Yeah, you know Robert Stewart.
115
00:11:15,790 --> 00:11:18,610
Good Lord, his name is not Robert
Stewart, it's Stewart Roberts.
116
00:11:20,030 --> 00:11:24,510
Attorney General, imagine that.
117
00:11:25,810 --> 00:11:28,990
I'm here to see Ben Matlock. Yes, sir,
we're expecting you. Come in, would you
118
00:11:28,990 --> 00:11:29,869
care for anything?
119
00:11:29,870 --> 00:11:31,490
No, I'd just like to see Ben Matlock.
120
00:11:31,830 --> 00:11:32,830
Okay, well, there he is.
121
00:11:33,470 --> 00:11:34,470
Yes, sir.
122
00:11:34,570 --> 00:11:38,110
Ben Matlock at your service. Hello. Nice
to meet you, Mr. Stewart. Robert.
123
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,920
Oh, this is Conrad McMasters.
124
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,200
We work together.
125
00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:46,700
Pleasure. Yes, sir.
126
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,020
Oh, won't you come in?
127
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:52,500
Yeah.
128
00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:55,900
I'll see you, Conrad.
129
00:11:56,380 --> 00:12:00,200
What? The Attorney General and I need
to... What?
130
00:12:00,820 --> 00:12:01,820
Talk.
131
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,320
Oh, yeah.
132
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,240
Well, it was a great pleasure meeting
you, Mr. Roberts.
133
00:12:07,850 --> 00:12:11,270
If there's anything, anything at all
that you need, I will be in the other
134
00:12:13,910 --> 00:12:15,130
Well, please sit down.
135
00:12:16,250 --> 00:12:20,670
You said something on the phone about
Howard Wright's murder.
136
00:12:20,930 --> 00:12:25,330
Yes. As you can imagine, it would be
impossible for the district attorney's
137
00:12:25,330 --> 00:12:28,210
office to prosecute this case without
bias. Yeah.
138
00:12:28,530 --> 00:12:34,330
And that means it falls upon me to
appoint a special prosecutor for the
139
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,680
Someone who will conduct an
investigation, issue an indictment, and
140
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:40,680
trial.
141
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:47,600
Someone beyond reproach, highly skilled,
lots of experience in murder cases.
142
00:12:50,660 --> 00:12:51,920
You talking about me?
143
00:12:52,860 --> 00:12:53,860
Yes.
144
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,080
So have you ever prosecuted a case
before?
145
00:13:05,290 --> 00:13:07,090
The police have any idea who did it?
146
00:13:08,190 --> 00:13:11,210
Naturally, they're looking into the
possibility that he was killed in
147
00:13:11,210 --> 00:13:13,910
retribution by someone he helped put in
prison.
148
00:13:14,170 --> 00:13:18,470
But I'm more inclined to think it had
something to do with the case he
149
00:13:18,470 --> 00:13:21,810
prosecuted or tried to. Oh, I read about
that case.
150
00:13:22,450 --> 00:13:27,550
Maxwell Toys. The police think Howard
Wright may have deliberately misplaced a
151
00:13:27,550 --> 00:13:28,630
critical piece of evidence.
152
00:13:29,050 --> 00:13:30,730
You mean he threw his own case?
153
00:13:32,350 --> 00:13:34,130
They think maybe he was bought off.
154
00:13:39,430 --> 00:13:40,890
So, what do you think?
155
00:13:41,850 --> 00:13:42,850
Are you interested?
156
00:13:43,310 --> 00:13:48,070
Would I get complete cooperation from
the police department?
157
00:13:48,450 --> 00:13:49,449
Of course.
158
00:13:49,450 --> 00:13:51,290
I could hire my own staff.
159
00:13:51,750 --> 00:13:52,750
Whoever you like.
160
00:13:54,090 --> 00:13:55,090
What do you say?
161
00:13:57,530 --> 00:14:02,330
Well, there is one other thing I'm
interested in. What's that? My fee.
162
00:14:05,270 --> 00:14:08,250
Mr. Matlock, one...
163
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:12,380
doesn't take an appointment like this
for money.
164
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,980
What does one take it for?
165
00:14:17,180 --> 00:14:21,180
One takes it because one is honored to
be asked and is interested in the case.
166
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,360
And from what I hear, you don't need the
money.
167
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,240
Ms. Wright, I'm Ben Matlock. This is my
associate, Michelle Thomas.
168
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:05,500
The Attorney General put me in charge of
finding and prosecuting
169
00:15:05,500 --> 00:15:08,520
the man who murdered your husband. Could
we ask you some questions?
170
00:15:09,660 --> 00:15:11,760
I have to be at the funeral home soon.
171
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,240
Yes, ma 'am.
172
00:15:14,700 --> 00:15:19,120
The police got a call yesterday from
Daniel Price.
173
00:15:20,220 --> 00:15:21,580
Howard's friend from Miami?
174
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,240
Your husband...
175
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,720
called Mr. Price yesterday and told him
that if anything should happen to him,
176
00:15:27,820 --> 00:15:32,560
that Mr. Price should call the police
and they should talk to two men, Tom O
177
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:33,740
'Hare and David Bennett.
178
00:15:35,340 --> 00:15:36,620
Tom O 'Hare, the attorney?
179
00:15:37,020 --> 00:15:38,020
Yes, ma 'am.
180
00:15:39,020 --> 00:15:40,060
Who's David Bennett?
181
00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:41,700
He's a judge.
182
00:15:45,300 --> 00:15:50,360
Do you have any idea why your husband
wanted the police to talk to these two
183
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,360
men?
184
00:15:51,780 --> 00:15:52,780
No.
185
00:15:55,820 --> 00:15:57,720
Um, you went to a movie last night?
186
00:15:58,940 --> 00:16:00,160
It was my sister.
187
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,640
It was Howard's idea.
188
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,780
He said he needed some time to himself.
189
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,040
He spent a lot of time in his workshop.
190
00:16:08,820 --> 00:16:10,200
As much as he could.
191
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:11,720
Did he make that?
192
00:16:13,140 --> 00:16:14,680
Yes. Nice.
193
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,700
Oh, he's a man.
194
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,580
He loved making things with his hands.
195
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,080
Oh.
196
00:16:25,450 --> 00:16:26,450
He didn't make this.
197
00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:28,690
No, he bought that.
198
00:16:29,050 --> 00:16:30,910
Oh, Chihuly.
199
00:16:31,910 --> 00:16:32,910
It's valuable.
200
00:16:33,770 --> 00:16:35,190
Norman Rockwell.
201
00:16:35,750 --> 00:16:39,090
He inherited some money recently from a
distant relative.
202
00:16:40,030 --> 00:16:42,130
Do you remember the relative's name?
203
00:16:43,890 --> 00:16:46,990
Right now, I can barely remember my own
name.
204
00:16:49,350 --> 00:16:50,950
I'm afraid I have to go.
205
00:16:51,290 --> 00:16:53,410
Oh, of course. Of course.
206
00:17:05,829 --> 00:17:06,849
Oh, you know David Bennett?
207
00:17:07,690 --> 00:17:11,109
Uh, yeah, I know him. You know him well?
208
00:17:12,490 --> 00:17:13,490
Pretty well.
209
00:17:13,930 --> 00:17:15,990
Well enough to talk to him about this
stuff?
210
00:17:16,710 --> 00:17:19,109
I used to go out with him.
211
00:17:19,550 --> 00:17:22,589
Oh. You talk to David. I'll go talk to
Tom O 'Hare.
212
00:17:22,790 --> 00:17:25,109
No, I have dibs on Mr. O 'Hare.
213
00:17:25,310 --> 00:17:26,269
Why you?
214
00:17:26,270 --> 00:17:27,869
You didn't read the paper this morning.
215
00:17:28,170 --> 00:17:29,170
I didn't have time.
216
00:17:30,030 --> 00:17:32,050
There's a big article on Tom O 'Hare.
217
00:17:32,570 --> 00:17:35,210
His client is suing Maxwell Toys for...
218
00:17:35,500 --> 00:17:36,600
Five million dollars.
219
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,660
And that's the same company that the guy
Howard Wright was defending broke into.
220
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:42,840
Oh. Wash foot. Oh.
221
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:47,779
Transmission fluid.
222
00:17:47,780 --> 00:17:49,280
How do you know about transmission
fluid?
223
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,580
I had a car that leaked it for years.
I'm an expert.
224
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,440
Well,
225
00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:55,900
Mr.
226
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,560
Prosecutor. You heard.
227
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,740
Precinct all above, Michelle.
228
00:18:00,100 --> 00:18:01,100
Find anything?
229
00:18:01,230 --> 00:18:05,090
The plugs we dug out of the wall
indicate the killer was standing here by
230
00:18:05,090 --> 00:18:10,350
door. Two bullets, .38 caliber, right
through the heart.
231
00:18:11,250 --> 00:18:12,250
What's all that?
232
00:18:13,190 --> 00:18:18,390
Well, apparently he was covering this
piece of wood with barnacles when he was
233
00:18:18,390 --> 00:18:19,390
shot.
234
00:18:19,650 --> 00:18:20,629
Anything else?
235
00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:21,630
No.
236
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:27,950
Oh, hey, you know, now that you're on
the side of the angels, I can let you in
237
00:18:27,950 --> 00:18:28,950
on a professional secret.
238
00:18:29,150 --> 00:18:30,039
What's that?
239
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,160
Well, when the prosecutor shows up at
the crime scene, it's sort of
240
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,760
for him or her to buy the officer in
charge lunch.
241
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:09,840
Jimmy, Kyle?
242
00:19:09,980 --> 00:19:10,980
Who are you?
243
00:19:11,460 --> 00:19:12,460
Name's Conrad.
244
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,820
I'd like to talk to you about Howard
Wright.
245
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:16,320
I'm busy.
246
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:17,780
What, are you taking a trip?
247
00:19:18,180 --> 00:19:19,099
What's it to you?
248
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:22,020
I think it's a bad idea, Jimmy. It makes
people think you've got something to
249
00:19:22,020 --> 00:19:23,020
hide, huh?
250
00:19:23,220 --> 00:19:24,220
Just want to talk?
251
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,240
Hey, better to me than the cops, right?
252
00:19:27,340 --> 00:19:28,600
Right. Absolutely.
253
00:19:31,260 --> 00:19:32,260
See you, sucker.
254
00:19:40,330 --> 00:19:42,590
The Moody Mary doll was an instant hit,
was it not?
255
00:19:43,150 --> 00:19:45,270
Yes. Roughly how big a hit?
256
00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:49,570
It's brought in somewhere around $15
million so far.
257
00:19:49,890 --> 00:19:51,870
A doll that can change expressions.
258
00:19:53,130 --> 00:19:54,130
That's very clever.
259
00:19:55,850 --> 00:19:57,510
Where did your company get the idea for
it?
260
00:19:58,210 --> 00:19:59,710
We developed it in -house.
261
00:20:01,850 --> 00:20:05,570
Maxwell Toy's correspondence file for
the year in question has been subpoenaed
262
00:20:05,570 --> 00:20:06,570
in this court.
263
00:20:07,370 --> 00:20:10,230
And I ask you, sir, to identify a
document from it.
264
00:20:13,090 --> 00:20:14,090
It's a letter.
265
00:20:14,790 --> 00:20:15,790
Let's get to it.
266
00:20:16,570 --> 00:20:17,570
What is that?
267
00:20:19,670 --> 00:20:22,570
But it looks like the Moody Mary doll.
Who sent this letter?
268
00:20:24,530 --> 00:20:26,950
I've never seen this before in my life.
Who sent it?
269
00:20:30,970 --> 00:20:32,650
Well, it's signed James T. Sullivan.
270
00:20:33,030 --> 00:20:34,030
It's my client.
271
00:20:34,750 --> 00:20:35,750
What's the date on it?
272
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:38,600
Listen, my office never received this
letter.
273
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:41,040
February 23rd, 1989.
274
00:20:43,020 --> 00:20:45,620
And it's stamped received by your
secretary.
275
00:20:45,980 --> 00:20:47,340
February 25th.
276
00:20:47,540 --> 00:20:50,140
Nine months before the Moody Mary doll
was introduced.
277
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,700
I'm telling you, neither I nor anyone in
my office ever saw it. You didn't
278
00:20:54,700 --> 00:20:57,960
develop the Moody Mary doll in -house.
You stole it from my client.
279
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,260
And now you're trying to cheat him out
of his fair share of the profit. How
280
00:21:02,260 --> 00:21:03,260
you call me a thief?
281
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,020
I've been with Maxwell Toys for 20
years, and I've never stolen so much as
282
00:21:07,020 --> 00:21:07,679
paper clip.
283
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,180
Gentlemen, that's enough.
284
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,820
We'll break for lunch here. It'll give
you both a chance to cool off.
285
00:21:17,860 --> 00:21:20,380
This court is in recess until 1 .30.
286
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,580
Jim, don't worry. I'll talk you in.
287
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,320
Mr.
288
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:30,800
O 'Hare?
289
00:21:31,260 --> 00:21:32,480
Ben Mallow, remember?
290
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,220
We met at a bar convention a couple
years back.
291
00:21:35,980 --> 00:21:37,000
How you doing? Fine.
292
00:21:37,700 --> 00:21:40,040
What are you doing in the civil court? I
came to see you.
293
00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:44,760
Boy, that was something just now. You
got that toy manufacturer, Dead Rights,
294
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:45,920
huh? But we don't.
295
00:21:46,460 --> 00:21:47,460
Yeah.
296
00:21:47,580 --> 00:21:51,880
Actually, I came to see you about Howard
Wright, the attorney general. Appointed
297
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:52,880
me special prosecutor.
298
00:21:53,220 --> 00:21:54,220
Oh, congratulations.
299
00:21:54,940 --> 00:21:57,000
But what's Howard Wright's murder got to
do with me?
300
00:21:57,669 --> 00:22:02,790
Well, he told a friend of his if
anything happened to him, the police
301
00:22:02,790 --> 00:22:03,790
talk to you.
302
00:22:04,070 --> 00:22:05,930
That's odd. I barely know him.
303
00:22:07,450 --> 00:22:08,730
Your past crawls lately?
304
00:22:09,050 --> 00:22:11,690
No, I don't do criminal cases. I wonder
why he said that.
305
00:22:12,410 --> 00:22:15,250
Damn if I know. Of course, you have one
thing in common.
306
00:22:15,490 --> 00:22:20,730
Yeah? Maxwell Toys. His last case
involved a break -in there. Yeah, um,
307
00:22:20,730 --> 00:22:22,910
coincidence. That's what my associate
said. You married?
308
00:22:23,290 --> 00:22:24,119
No, I didn't.
309
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:27,460
I just wondered if you were with
somebody or by yourself two nights ago.
310
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:33,320
If that was a question, Counselor, I'm
not going to dignify with an answer.
311
00:22:38,780 --> 00:22:39,780
Yes?
312
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,880
Michelle!
313
00:22:46,940 --> 00:22:47,940
Hello, David.
314
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,940
Talk about surprises.
315
00:22:51,580 --> 00:22:52,960
You look fabulous.
316
00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:54,019
Thank you.
317
00:22:54,020 --> 00:22:55,019
How have you been?
318
00:22:55,020 --> 00:22:56,020
Fine. Fine.
319
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,260
I see you're doing well. Presiding
judge, is it now?
320
00:23:00,100 --> 00:23:01,100
Please, sit down.
321
00:23:01,300 --> 00:23:02,300
Thanks.
322
00:23:04,060 --> 00:23:05,060
My God.
323
00:23:05,740 --> 00:23:07,380
It's been three years?
324
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:09,920
How's married life treating you?
325
00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:13,120
Well, my wife and I are separated.
326
00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:14,700
Oh, I'm sorry.
327
00:23:16,580 --> 00:23:19,100
Just made the wrong choice three years
ago, is all.
328
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,440
You know Ben's been appointed special
prosecutor in the Howard Wright case.
329
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,480
Yes, I read all about it.
Congratulations.
330
00:23:27,860 --> 00:23:28,860
Thank you.
331
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,180
You knew Howard Wright?
332
00:23:30,700 --> 00:23:31,700
Yeah.
333
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,620
Actually, we were at the same law firm
eight, ten years ago.
334
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,760
Well, apparently he told a friend of his
that if anything happened to him, you'd
335
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:40,760
somehow be involved.
336
00:23:41,540 --> 00:23:43,180
He what?
337
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,820
When was the last time you talked to
him?
338
00:23:48,660 --> 00:23:49,660
Months ago.
339
00:23:49,740 --> 00:23:51,280
Do you remember what you talked to him
about?
340
00:23:52,910 --> 00:23:55,210
I really don't. It wasn't anything earth
-shattering, that's for sure.
341
00:23:58,730 --> 00:23:59,790
Michelle, I'm due in court.
342
00:24:00,770 --> 00:24:02,270
I'd love to talk to you. Can we have
dinner?
343
00:24:02,890 --> 00:24:04,450
Friday night, 8 o 'clock, Camille's?
344
00:24:04,650 --> 00:24:05,650
David.
345
00:24:05,850 --> 00:24:07,550
You're living with someone? No.
346
00:24:08,310 --> 00:24:09,149
Dating someone?
347
00:24:09,150 --> 00:24:10,150
No, that's not it.
348
00:24:10,990 --> 00:24:12,310
Come on, it'll be fun.
349
00:24:15,810 --> 00:24:16,810
Friday, 8 o 'clock.
350
00:24:17,550 --> 00:24:18,550
Great.
351
00:24:27,020 --> 00:24:29,600
Jimmy Giles said he paid his fee up
front in cash.
352
00:24:30,180 --> 00:24:34,380
And he drove off in a brand new $30 ,000
car.
353
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,940
Huh. State police put out an APB on him.
Did they?
354
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,720
Nope. Well, I wouldn't hold my breath.
355
00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:47,680
I expect somebody paid Jimmy Giles to
get lost and stay lost for a real long
356
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:48,680
time.
357
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,340
Why won't you... Wait, wait. Why won't
you tell me who you are?
358
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:06,479
Ah, ah.
359
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,240
What? What do you know?
360
00:25:10,540 --> 00:25:11,560
The what aisle?
361
00:25:12,860 --> 00:25:13,860
Where?
362
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:20,680
Now, uh... Hey, I'm a busy man. I don't
have time to run around seeing people I
363
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,220
don't know on some kind of joke.
364
00:25:23,540 --> 00:25:28,360
All right.
365
00:25:28,860 --> 00:25:30,220
All right, I can leave right now.
366
00:25:31,189 --> 00:25:32,189
Yeah, but listen.
367
00:25:32,610 --> 00:25:33,930
Hello? Hello?
368
00:25:38,270 --> 00:25:39,270
I got to go.
369
00:25:40,890 --> 00:25:41,890
What's going on?
370
00:25:42,570 --> 00:25:43,570
I don't know.
371
00:25:44,210 --> 00:25:45,210
Who was it?
372
00:25:46,290 --> 00:25:47,290
I don't know.
373
00:25:48,250 --> 00:25:49,250
What did he say?
374
00:25:49,690 --> 00:25:51,450
He said he could help me with the case.
375
00:25:52,210 --> 00:25:53,490
I'll go with you. No.
376
00:25:54,530 --> 00:25:55,690
I've got to go alone.
377
00:25:56,190 --> 00:25:58,490
I don't get it. Otherwise he won't show.
378
00:25:58,970 --> 00:25:59,970
Well, it could be a prank.
379
00:26:00,460 --> 00:26:01,460
That's right.
380
00:27:05,379 --> 00:27:06,379
Mr. Matlock.
381
00:27:06,420 --> 00:27:07,420
Where are you?
382
00:27:07,860 --> 00:27:08,860
Stay in your eye.
383
00:27:09,540 --> 00:27:10,379
Move down.
384
00:27:10,380 --> 00:27:11,380
Away from the end.
385
00:27:14,420 --> 00:27:16,420
It sure would be nice if I could see
you.
386
00:27:16,780 --> 00:27:18,100
It would be better if you didn't.
387
00:27:19,020 --> 00:27:20,020
Who are you?
388
00:27:20,220 --> 00:27:21,220
That's not important.
389
00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:23,720
How do I know I can trust you?
390
00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:25,100
You don't.
391
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,360
Well, what the hell am I doing here?
392
00:27:27,740 --> 00:27:30,360
Tell me what you know about Howard
Wright's murder.
393
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:33,620
You said you could help me solve the
case.
394
00:27:33,860 --> 00:27:35,000
Tell me what you know.
395
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,220
I'll tell you if you're on the right
track. Why don't you just give me the
396
00:27:38,220 --> 00:27:39,220
information outright?
397
00:27:39,740 --> 00:27:42,740
Because people would figure out I was
the one who told you.
398
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,460
If Ward ever got around, I believe the
whistle, I'd be finished.
399
00:27:45,780 --> 00:27:48,380
The truth is going to have to come from
you, not me.
400
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:51,720
Well...
401
00:27:52,010 --> 00:27:56,710
Tom O 'Hare and Judge Bennett are both
somehow involved. Of course, they won't
402
00:27:56,710 --> 00:27:57,710
admit it.
403
00:27:58,050 --> 00:27:59,050
What else?
404
00:27:59,970 --> 00:28:01,690
This is really dumb.
405
00:28:02,250 --> 00:28:05,010
If you don't tell me, I can't help you.
406
00:28:07,910 --> 00:28:13,770
It also appears that Howard Wright may
have lost his last case on purpose.
407
00:28:14,550 --> 00:28:16,610
The key to this thing is the money.
408
00:28:17,050 --> 00:28:18,190
Look for the money.
409
00:28:19,170 --> 00:28:21,150
Leave your porch light on when you want
to see me.
410
00:28:22,870 --> 00:28:23,669
Wait a minute.
411
00:28:23,670 --> 00:28:24,670
Wait a minute. Who's money?
412
00:28:25,550 --> 00:28:26,549
Who's money?
413
00:28:26,550 --> 00:28:27,550
Who's money?
414
00:28:58,540 --> 00:28:59,540
What do you think he is?
415
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:00,840
I don't know.
416
00:29:01,140 --> 00:29:02,300
You see him again?
417
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,380
I don't know.
418
00:29:05,820 --> 00:29:09,680
You look for what money? What was he
talking about? I don't know.
419
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,020
For heaven's sakes, you talk to him.
Surely you know something.
420
00:29:15,180 --> 00:29:20,700
Well, I guess he meant that... Ah, boy.
421
00:29:21,140 --> 00:29:27,580
That Howard Wright was paid to throw his
case.
422
00:29:29,919 --> 00:29:32,220
So you're going to get a search warrant
for his financial records?
423
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:33,560
No.
424
00:29:34,980 --> 00:29:36,220
You see this hot dog?
425
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:37,920
Yeah.
426
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:49,660
Bob Brooks and the Atlanta police got
his records.
427
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,080
Michelle and Bob are going to open them
now.
428
00:29:52,820 --> 00:29:53,820
Hot dog?
429
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:55,680
No.
430
00:29:55,940 --> 00:29:57,560
No, I'm going to have a sandwich.
431
00:29:58,669 --> 00:30:00,150
Ham sandwiches and mayo.
432
00:30:00,410 --> 00:30:01,730
Yeah, lettuce and tomato pickle.
433
00:30:02,570 --> 00:30:04,670
You know, this being a prosecutor is all
right.
434
00:30:04,890 --> 00:30:07,790
A lot of people do things for me, and I
don't even have to pay them.
435
00:30:13,770 --> 00:30:14,770
Hello.
436
00:30:22,170 --> 00:30:26,010
My name is Michelle Thomas. I'm
investigating the murder of Howard
437
00:30:26,540 --> 00:30:28,120
I'd like to talk to John McLean, if I
could.
438
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,460
I'm afraid John is no longer with us.
I'm Glenn Conner. Perhaps I can help
439
00:30:32,620 --> 00:30:33,539
Your name again?
440
00:30:33,540 --> 00:30:34,540
Oh, Michelle Thomas.
441
00:30:34,780 --> 00:30:35,780
Please, Miss Thomas, come in.
442
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,040
Thank you.
443
00:30:40,780 --> 00:30:41,920
Yeah. All right.
444
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,360
Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly
does your company do, Mr. Conner?
445
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,640
We're a holding company.
446
00:30:49,980 --> 00:30:52,500
We own a majority of the stock in a
number of smaller companies.
447
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,200
And Mr. McLean was your controller?
448
00:30:54,700 --> 00:30:55,700
Yes, he was.
449
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:56,699
Until he resigned.
450
00:30:56,700 --> 00:30:58,420
Moved on to Greeter Pastures, I guess.
451
00:30:59,060 --> 00:31:01,900
Do you have any idea where I could find
him? I have no idea.
452
00:31:02,940 --> 00:31:06,580
What did you want to ask him? I was
going over Howard Wright's financial
453
00:31:06,580 --> 00:31:10,240
and discovered that last week he
deposited a check into his account that
454
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:11,500
signed by Mr. McLean.
455
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,640
I just wondered why the Conner
Corporation would be paying an assistant
456
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,220
attorney $75 ,000.
457
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,320
Yeah, we simply paid him for some legal
advice he'd given us. That's all.
458
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:22,540
Oh, he was your attorney?
459
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:23,960
More like a consultant.
460
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,940
He suggested things some of our
companies could do to steer clear of
461
00:31:27,940 --> 00:31:28,940
SEC violations.
462
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,740
$75 ,000 is a lot of money.
463
00:31:33,060 --> 00:31:36,040
Well, he saved us 20 times that in
fines. It's well worth it.
464
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:37,880
Anything else you'd like to ask me?
465
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:39,560
Yeah.
466
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,980
Where can I sign up to be one of your
consultants?
467
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:47,800
Yeah?
468
00:31:49,260 --> 00:31:50,260
Yeah?
469
00:31:51,500 --> 00:31:52,640
No kidding.
470
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:54,320
Yeah.
471
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,180
Yeah. Yeah, well, thanks, Michelle.
472
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:58,600
Yeah, bye -bye.
473
00:31:59,740 --> 00:32:00,740
That's interesting.
474
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,200
What?
475
00:32:03,060 --> 00:32:05,820
Howard Wright came into a lot of
unexplained money.
476
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:11,760
Why'd you turn on the light?
477
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,100
I'm telling my friend I want to see him
again.
478
00:32:30,510 --> 00:32:31,510
So what did you find?
479
00:32:33,630 --> 00:32:35,790
Why won't you tell me who you are?
480
00:32:35,990 --> 00:32:37,030
That doesn't matter.
481
00:32:38,190 --> 00:32:41,830
I'm prosecuting a case for the first
time in my life.
482
00:32:42,510 --> 00:32:47,830
And I'm supposed to tell a man I've
never seen everything I know. I don't
483
00:32:47,830 --> 00:32:50,250
it. I promise you I can help you.
484
00:32:50,930 --> 00:32:52,510
You're just going to have to trust me.
485
00:32:53,890 --> 00:32:54,890
Okay?
486
00:32:56,490 --> 00:32:58,850
I'm sorry I can't do this any other way.
487
00:32:59,450 --> 00:33:00,450
Okay.
488
00:33:02,010 --> 00:33:08,050
I know that Howard Wright got a big
check last week from the Connor
489
00:33:08,150 --> 00:33:14,050
and I believe it was his payoff for
losing a vital piece of evidence in that
490
00:33:14,050 --> 00:33:16,110
Maxwell Toys break -in case.
491
00:33:17,430 --> 00:33:18,430
Huh?
492
00:33:19,350 --> 00:33:21,410
Huh? Go ahead.
493
00:33:23,330 --> 00:33:25,410
Well, I also believe...
494
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:30,100
The man he was supposed to be
prosecuting, Jimmy Giles, was paid off
495
00:33:30,660 --> 00:33:35,740
Not for stealing anything from that
office, but for leaving something there,
496
00:33:35,740 --> 00:33:40,660
letter that Tom O 'Hare's client had
written that made it look like Maxwell
497
00:33:40,660 --> 00:33:43,400
had stolen his idea and plans for that
doll.
498
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:48,760
So what about it?
499
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,640
Think it was all part of a scam
spearheaded by Tom O 'Hare?
500
00:33:53,340 --> 00:33:56,140
To build Maxwell Toys out of a nice big
judgment?
501
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:58,360
What do you say?
502
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:00,800
What about David Bennett?
503
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,200
I don't know.
504
00:34:02,340 --> 00:34:03,340
You tell me.
505
00:34:04,580 --> 00:34:08,219
Like I said before, Mr. Matlock, look
for the money.
506
00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:09,679
Whose money?
507
00:34:09,860 --> 00:34:11,800
Jimmy Giles? Howard Wright?
508
00:34:12,340 --> 00:34:14,300
Tom O 'Hara? Judge Bennett?
509
00:34:14,540 --> 00:34:15,540
The Conner Corporation?
510
00:34:15,780 --> 00:34:16,780
Whose money?
511
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:18,920
Oh, okay.
512
00:34:18,940 --> 00:34:21,840
Just tell me if I'm right about this Tom
O 'Hara stuff.
513
00:34:22,139 --> 00:34:23,139
How about it?
514
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,080
Mr. Matlock.
515
00:34:25,420 --> 00:34:26,840
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
516
00:34:27,100 --> 00:34:28,100
Let's try this.
517
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,800
I saw it in a movie once.
518
00:34:32,300 --> 00:34:39,060
If I'm wrong about Tom O 'Hare paying
off Howard Wright and Jimmy Giles, drop
519
00:34:39,060 --> 00:34:40,060
the book you're holding.
520
00:34:40,739 --> 00:34:45,360
If I'm right about it, slip it back on
the shelf and go away.
521
00:34:45,620 --> 00:34:46,620
Okay?
522
00:35:14,410 --> 00:35:17,450
Did she get the warrant? Judge Parker's
in the process of finding him right now.
523
00:35:17,710 --> 00:35:19,070
His clerk's bringing them out to me.
524
00:35:19,290 --> 00:35:22,830
He didn't bat an eye when I told him I
wanted to look at Tom O 'Hare's
525
00:35:22,830 --> 00:35:26,210
record. But when I told him I wanted
David Bennett's, he hit the roof.
526
00:35:26,690 --> 00:35:29,490
How dare I question the integrity of a
fellow jurist.
527
00:35:30,250 --> 00:35:32,690
The old boy network's alive and well.
528
00:35:33,330 --> 00:35:35,310
I think he's making me wait out here as
punishment.
529
00:35:37,310 --> 00:35:38,310
Miss Thomas. Yeah.
530
00:35:38,930 --> 00:35:39,649
Here you go.
531
00:35:39,650 --> 00:35:42,790
Thanks. Oh, Ben, have you met Judge
Parker's clerk, Terry Lasher?
532
00:35:44,110 --> 00:35:45,110
Nice to meet you.
533
00:35:47,630 --> 00:35:50,370
Tell Judge Parker thanks again, okay?
Sure. Bye.
534
00:36:02,410 --> 00:36:05,750
Why don't I take Tom O 'Hare's records
and you take Dave's?
535
00:36:06,730 --> 00:36:08,950
Dave? Judge Bennett.
536
00:36:11,210 --> 00:36:12,910
Hey, good looking.
537
00:36:14,730 --> 00:36:16,050
Something going on with this guy?
538
00:36:16,910 --> 00:36:18,630
Not anymore.
539
00:36:20,850 --> 00:36:23,150
We used to go out a couple of years ago.
540
00:36:24,150 --> 00:36:27,670
And then I went out of town on a case
with Ben, and when I came home, he'd
541
00:36:27,670 --> 00:36:29,270
gotten engaged to somebody else.
542
00:36:29,610 --> 00:36:30,610
What, he dropped you?
543
00:36:32,070 --> 00:36:33,190
I took it that way.
544
00:36:34,130 --> 00:36:35,130
Man's a fool.
545
00:36:38,050 --> 00:36:42,610
Well, now he and his wife are separated,
and I agreed to have dinner with him
546
00:36:42,610 --> 00:36:43,750
tonight. Uh -oh.
547
00:36:44,140 --> 00:36:45,900
No, I can take care of myself, Conrad.
548
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,160
No, I'm talking about this $120 ,000
David Bennett put in the bank three
549
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,760
ago. It's from the Conner Corporation.
550
00:36:52,220 --> 00:36:53,420
I don't believe it.
551
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:54,780
No, it's right here. Look.
552
00:36:55,460 --> 00:37:00,900
I'm talking about the check for $120
,000 that Tom O 'Hare got three months
553
00:37:01,700 --> 00:37:03,380
It's from the Conner Corporation, too.
554
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,020
Uh, sure. Come on in.
555
00:37:10,620 --> 00:37:12,820
Thank you for seeing me so quickly, Mr.
McLean.
556
00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:15,920
I'm surprised you found me. I just moved
in here.
557
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,200
Pardon the mess. Please, sit down.
558
00:37:19,460 --> 00:37:20,800
Working on my resume.
559
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:22,460
Oh, you're looking for a job?
560
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:23,800
Unfortunately, yes.
561
00:37:24,220 --> 00:37:27,180
Well, Mr. Connor gave me the impression
that you quit your job with him because
562
00:37:27,180 --> 00:37:28,280
you'd gotten something better.
563
00:37:28,620 --> 00:37:29,620
No.
564
00:37:30,340 --> 00:37:31,400
So why did you quit?
565
00:37:32,380 --> 00:37:35,400
Well, I just didn't feel right about
things over there.
566
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:37,240
What do you mean?
567
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:42,560
You know, why don't you ask Mr. Connor
about this? You kept the books.
568
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:44,320
Yeah, I know, but I quit.
569
00:37:44,860 --> 00:37:46,920
Did you make this Mr. Conner's problem
and not mine?
570
00:37:47,380 --> 00:37:51,880
Mr. McLean, I believe you have
information pertinent to the murder of
571
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,380
District Attorney Howard Wright.
572
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,980
Now, I suggest that you answer my
questions, or I'm going to call the
573
00:37:57,980 --> 00:37:58,980
have them take you downtown.
574
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:01,760
Okay.
575
00:38:02,020 --> 00:38:03,020
Good.
576
00:38:03,940 --> 00:38:06,740
So, why did you quit?
577
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:12,520
Well, money would just appear from out
of the blue.
578
00:38:12,860 --> 00:38:16,860
from this bank in the Bahamas, and I was
supposed to enter it into the books, no
579
00:38:16,860 --> 00:38:17,718
questions asked.
580
00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:19,020
And I didn't like that.
581
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,440
Was it from one of Connor's
subsidiaries?
582
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,680
Well, their earnings were nowhere near
what was coming into the corporation,
583
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,780
I'd have to write these big checks to
consultants for services that I'm almost
584
00:38:29,780 --> 00:38:30,980
positive were never rendered.
585
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,860
Consultants like David Bennett and Tom O
'Hare?
586
00:38:35,100 --> 00:38:36,100
How did you know?
587
00:38:37,780 --> 00:38:40,100
To whom else did you write out big
checks like that?
588
00:38:40,380 --> 00:38:41,580
It was one of their...
589
00:38:42,190 --> 00:38:46,790
One other person, but I can't remember
the name. You know, I just did whatever
590
00:38:46,790 --> 00:38:49,110
Mr. Conner told me to do, and I tried
not to think about it.
591
00:38:49,490 --> 00:38:51,410
And then I read that Howard Wright had
been murdered.
592
00:38:51,870 --> 00:38:55,030
I'd just written him a big check, a one
-time only consultant fee.
593
00:38:55,350 --> 00:38:56,350
That's when I quit.
594
00:38:58,890 --> 00:39:01,250
Well, thank you, Mr. McLean.
595
00:39:01,570 --> 00:39:03,070
I do appreciate your cooperation.
596
00:39:03,510 --> 00:39:04,510
Yeah.
597
00:39:05,450 --> 00:39:06,450
Oh.
598
00:39:08,130 --> 00:39:09,130
Huh.
599
00:39:09,330 --> 00:39:10,530
Isn't this Judge Levin?
600
00:39:10,930 --> 00:39:11,799
Oh, yeah.
601
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,060
She and Glenn Conner are old friends.
602
00:39:13,580 --> 00:39:17,160
Is she the other person that you wrote
checks to?
603
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:18,880
No. No, that I would have remembered.
604
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,260
Special prosecutor, huh? A lot of
exposure.
605
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:31,860
You play your cards right. You could
parlay this into a run at the governor's
606
00:39:31,860 --> 00:39:33,780
meeting. Oh, I don't think so.
607
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,740
So, what can I do for you? Okay.
608
00:39:37,980 --> 00:39:39,520
You know Glenn Conner?
609
00:39:39,820 --> 00:39:41,460
He's a friend, yes. We go way back.
610
00:39:41,860 --> 00:39:46,820
Well, Howard Wright has been doing
consulting work for him, some very high
611
00:39:46,820 --> 00:39:47,940
consulting work.
612
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,220
Good for Howard.
613
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,120
He wasn't exactly high -paid around
here. Yeah.
614
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:57,100
And David Bennett has been doing
consulting work for him, and so has Tom
615
00:39:57,100 --> 00:40:01,560
'Hare. In fact, I think you and I are
the only two people in Atlanta that are
616
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:02,860
not on Mr. Conner's payroll.
617
00:40:05,700 --> 00:40:08,380
I have a theory.
618
00:40:09,420 --> 00:40:13,100
on why Howard Wright was murdered. Want
to hear it? Of course.
619
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:20,260
Okay. I think Glenn Conner paid Howard
Wright to misplace a piece of
620
00:40:20,260 --> 00:40:22,280
evidence in the Jimmy Giles case.
621
00:40:22,980 --> 00:40:28,500
Remember the guy who was accused of
breaking into Maxwell's Toys? And I
622
00:40:28,500 --> 00:40:33,100
that Howard Wright was killed so that no
one would ever find out about it.
623
00:40:35,260 --> 00:40:36,600
Are you saying...
624
00:40:37,610 --> 00:40:43,450
That Glenn Conner murdered him? No, no,
no. I'm more inclined to think that Tom
625
00:40:43,450 --> 00:40:44,450
O 'Hare did.
626
00:40:44,570 --> 00:40:50,870
Now, this is pure speculation and off
the record, but I think Tom O 'Hare
627
00:40:50,870 --> 00:40:57,510
Jimmy Giles in the first place, not to
steal anything, but to plant a letter at
628
00:40:57,510 --> 00:41:03,990
the company so that he could later get
millions of dollars from Maxwell Toys.
629
00:41:04,550 --> 00:41:06,930
Ben, that's my case.
630
00:41:07,530 --> 00:41:13,050
What you are saying is prejudicial and
could force me to declare a mistrial.
631
00:41:13,050 --> 00:41:17,950
the case is already gone. The jury...
Moreover, I resent the implication that
632
00:41:17,950 --> 00:41:22,170
Glenn Conner is involved in some kind of
conspiracy to obstruct justice.
633
00:41:22,710 --> 00:41:27,030
As far as I know, he has never even met
Tom O 'Hare.
634
00:41:29,570 --> 00:41:32,470
But they had a mutual acquaintance,
didn't they?
635
00:41:33,350 --> 00:41:34,350
You...
636
00:41:36,750 --> 00:41:38,590
You are way out of line.
637
00:41:38,970 --> 00:41:40,030
You better leave.
638
00:41:41,170 --> 00:41:42,670
It was just a theory.
639
00:41:52,650 --> 00:41:53,650
It's Diana.
640
00:41:54,430 --> 00:41:55,570
We have to talk.
641
00:42:10,410 --> 00:42:11,650
Clark came to see me today.
642
00:42:12,910 --> 00:42:14,510
He knows just about everything.
643
00:42:39,630 --> 00:42:40,630
Thank you.
644
00:42:42,290 --> 00:42:44,930
You know, I don't think I've been here
since the last time I ate here with you.
645
00:42:46,070 --> 00:42:47,670
My wife wouldn't set foot in this place.
646
00:42:48,230 --> 00:42:49,250
Didn't like French food?
647
00:42:49,690 --> 00:42:50,690
Didn't like you.
648
00:42:52,430 --> 00:42:54,010
Couldn't go anywhere she knew I'd taken
you.
649
00:42:55,370 --> 00:42:56,430
Very jealous lady.
650
00:42:59,830 --> 00:43:01,270
Still have that cocoa van you liked.
651
00:43:01,870 --> 00:43:02,870
Can I have that?
652
00:43:03,750 --> 00:43:05,390
I'm not ready to order yet, David.
653
00:43:06,990 --> 00:43:09,110
I have to get some business out of the
way first.
654
00:43:10,470 --> 00:43:11,470
Business?
655
00:43:11,710 --> 00:43:12,710
I'm afraid so.
656
00:43:14,470 --> 00:43:15,470
Okay.
657
00:43:16,950 --> 00:43:22,990
You got a check three months ago from
the Conner Corporation for $120 ,000.
658
00:43:23,490 --> 00:43:24,490
Mm -hmm.
659
00:43:24,730 --> 00:43:25,730
Why?
660
00:43:26,210 --> 00:43:28,190
I did some consulting work for them.
661
00:43:32,230 --> 00:43:34,810
How long had it been since you talked to
Howard Wright?
662
00:43:35,790 --> 00:43:39,470
Oh, I told you, uh, six months at least.
663
00:43:41,730 --> 00:43:46,590
Then why do his phone records show that
he called your office on three different
664
00:43:46,590 --> 00:43:48,290
occasions in the past month alone?
665
00:43:49,930 --> 00:43:50,930
I don't know.
666
00:43:51,150 --> 00:43:52,150
I didn't talk to him.
667
00:43:53,790 --> 00:43:55,070
Maybe he talked to one of the clerks.
668
00:44:00,290 --> 00:44:01,970
What was your meeting about this
afternoon?
669
00:44:04,610 --> 00:44:05,610
What? meeting?
670
00:44:07,580 --> 00:44:10,180
The one you had with Tom O 'Hare and
Diana Levin.
671
00:44:20,780 --> 00:44:22,620
I won't be having dinner after all.
672
00:44:23,700 --> 00:44:24,700
Thanks anyway.
673
00:44:30,980 --> 00:44:33,380
Judge Levin, Judge Bennett.
674
00:44:33,950 --> 00:44:39,450
Tom O 'Hare or N .I.? Glenn Connors, N
.I., or at least his company is.
675
00:44:39,730 --> 00:44:42,010
Good. You know all the players.
676
00:44:42,290 --> 00:44:44,150
But I don't know what game they're
playing.
677
00:44:44,630 --> 00:44:45,890
Keep following the money.
678
00:44:46,150 --> 00:44:47,230
It'll tell you everything.
679
00:44:48,050 --> 00:44:49,050
Whose money?
680
00:44:50,370 --> 00:44:53,310
I'm gonna be getting Glenn Connors'
ledgers tomorrow.
681
00:44:53,590 --> 00:44:57,170
But if I'm gonna be wasting my time
going through them, I'd like to know
682
00:44:57,170 --> 00:44:58,170
it now.
683
00:44:59,230 --> 00:45:00,230
I tell you what.
684
00:45:01,110 --> 00:45:02,990
Let's play the book game again.
685
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,420
If I'm on the wrong track, drop the
book.
686
00:45:06,900 --> 00:45:09,020
If I'm on the right track...
687
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,000
Thank you.
