That's not true, Miss Foster. It 192 00:13:02,300 --> 00:13:06,060 What reason would my brother have had to murder Marie? He was madly in love with 193 00:13:06,060 --> 00:13:10,140 her. And madly jealous when he heard about the other guy. He just blew his 194 00:13:10,490 --> 00:13:15,010 Did Jerry ever say that?

Marie had 198 00:13:22,270 --> 00:13:26,230 expressed fear of Jerry. That made it an exception to the hearsay rule and 199 00:13:26,230 --> 00:13:31,750 admissible under Section 1250. It's all here in the record. Garvey Durko had his 200 00:13:31,750 --> 00:13:35,130 own axe to grind. What section covers that? What axe? 201 00:13:35,470 --> 00:13:36,469 Didn't you know? 202 00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:39,810 Before the police decided it was easier to railroad my brother. 203 00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:42,200 Garfield Durko was their prime suspect. 204 00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:04,220 Hey, would you grab this stuff before more of it spills in my lap? 205 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,760 Hey, don't you want any? 206 00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:08,180 No, thanks. 207 00:14:08,700 --> 00:14:12,060 Burning the candle at both ends is your bag, not mine. 208 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,480 Haven't you finished this yet? 209 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,880 Almost. 210 00:14:18,860 --> 00:14:20,260 Invisible ink, no doubt. 211 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,440 It's just that I'm having a little problem with getting it on paper. I 212 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,440 it was all cut and dry. 213 00:14:26,060 --> 00:14:28,440 A plea of guilty on a lesser offense. 214 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,580 I surveyed another avenue. 215 00:14:31,140 --> 00:14:33,110 Not. guilty as charged. 216 00:14:33,370 --> 00:14:37,590 So Dawson took that road and ended up in a ditch. Dawson was just a backseat 217 00:14:37,590 --> 00:14:39,290 driver. Jerry was at the wheel. 218 00:14:40,090 --> 00:14:44,650 I think that I can write a brief that infuses most of the prosecution 219 00:14:46,950 --> 00:14:51,430 You implying perjury? No, not at all. It's just that I think that because of 220 00:14:51,430 --> 00:14:55,310 certain legal technicalities, I can have their testimonies stricken, ruled 221 00:14:55,310 --> 00:14:59,390 inadmissible. Legal technicalities? Don't knock them. They have saved many 222 00:14:59,390 --> 00:15:01,290 innocent neck. And many a guilty one. 223 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,280 I am being tested as a lawyer, not a cop. 224 00:15:04,620 --> 00:15:06,800 I have to presume my client's innocence. 225 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,060 You presume that Jerry Foster is innocent? I don't presume anything about 226 00:15:11,060 --> 00:15:14,080 Foster. He is not my client. My client is John Doe. 227 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,440 Look what you've written there. 228 00:15:20,540 --> 00:15:23,480 Well, that's just a Freudian slip. 229 00:15:24,020 --> 00:15:25,300 Freud was no lawyer. 230 00:15:25,540 --> 00:15:26,540 Did I not? 231 00:16:12,780 --> 00:16:13,780 All finished. 232 00:16:13,860 --> 00:16:15,420 I made two copies. 233 00:16:16,460 --> 00:16:18,400 Oh, Charlotte, I wish you let me pay you. 234 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,120 Reading it is payment enough, Mark. 235 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:21,480 Wonderful job. 236 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,300 Professor Hopper will probably shoot it full of holes. 237 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,800 No, no, this is the way Charles Dawson should have defended my brother. 238 00:16:28,420 --> 00:16:29,420 Will you have some coffee? 239 00:16:29,700 --> 00:16:31,020 I'd better take a rain check. 240 00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:32,460 Got to get back on the job. 241 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,240 Hey, thank you. 242 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,720 Bye. Bye -bye. 243 00:16:54,410 --> 00:16:55,410 Chief Ironside's office. 244 00:16:56,350 --> 00:16:57,350 Just a moment. 245 00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:58,430 Commissioner from the chief. 246 00:17:00,390 --> 00:17:01,390 Yes, Dennis. 247 00:17:05,470 --> 00:17:06,470 Just a minute. 248 00:17:07,890 --> 00:17:09,010 Yeah, Channel 4. 249 00:17:11,950 --> 00:17:14,130 Sure, any time. I'll be right here. 250 00:17:26,670 --> 00:17:30,330 As I said before, I wish I could take credit for this important development. 251 00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:36,030 But I can't. It belongs to Mark Sanger, a crusading young law student. 252 00:17:36,550 --> 00:17:40,410 Well, then this is proof that Jerry Foster did not receive a fair trial. 253 00:17:40,690 --> 00:17:44,310 Well, I prefer to say that Sanger's brief discredits the prosecution 254 00:17:44,890 --> 00:17:48,490 But didn't the state Supreme Court review this case and uphold the verdict? 255 00:17:48,750 --> 00:17:51,610 Yes, because there were no legal errors as such. 256 00:17:53,270 --> 00:17:55,790 But this is a different matter of federal concern. 257 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,760 Next week, I shall apply to the U .S. District Court for a writ of habeas 258 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,180 corpus. I see. 259 00:18:01,740 --> 00:18:02,740 Excuse me, please. 260 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,360 Mr. Coffin, is there a precedent for this type of action? 261 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,860 It won't be the first time I've created precedent. 262 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,720 How did you come into possession of the Sanger brief? 263 00:18:13,100 --> 00:18:17,080 It was given to me by his associate, Miss Foster here, who's Jerry's sister. 264 00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:20,980 My associate? She just typed it. Miss Foster, how do you feel about this? 265 00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:24,440 Wonderful that the terrible wrong is going to finally be put right. 266 00:18:25,070 --> 00:18:27,330 My brother was a victim of police persecution. 267 00:18:27,690 --> 00:18:28,690 How is that? 268 00:18:28,730 --> 00:18:31,710 Detective cared only for promotion, lied on the witness stand. 269 00:18:31,930 --> 00:18:35,250 Would you care to give us his name? There are laws covering defamation, 270 00:18:35,250 --> 00:18:37,030 man. I'm not afraid of the truth. 271 00:18:37,570 --> 00:18:39,210 His name is Edward Brown. 272 00:18:40,450 --> 00:18:42,110 Sergeant Edward Brown. 273 00:18:42,570 --> 00:18:44,850 The Susanna Canyon fire still burns out. 274 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,720 innocent victim of police persecution. Oh, brother. Ed, everybody knows that 275 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,260 Coffin is just a publicity seeker. I couldn't care less about Coffin. 276 00:19:08,620 --> 00:19:11,700 He and little sister Charlotte only threw the mud pies. 277 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,440 But our crusading young law student here made them. 278 00:19:17,380 --> 00:19:20,540 Would you mind telling me just how I lied? I never said you did. 279 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,700 Oh, come on. She was quoting from your brief, wasn't she? Take it easy, Ed. Why 280 00:19:23,700 --> 00:19:24,700 should I? 281 00:19:25,820 --> 00:19:28,940 I've got a label pasted on my forehead reading crooked cop. 282 00:19:29,500 --> 00:19:33,040 And my friend supplied the glue. Mark couldn't know that Charlotte would take 283 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,060 that brief and... Couldn't know? 284 00:19:34,260 --> 00:19:37,500 You mean the thought never entered his pointy head that if he handed Foster's 285 00:19:37,500 --> 00:19:41,180 loving sister a bomb, she might sling it at the police department? It was pretty 286 00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:44,440 dumb, I admit. Which helps me a lot. Which will help no one. 287 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,320 Not you, nor the courts, nor law enforcement generally. 288 00:19:50,020 --> 00:19:53,180 Heaven knows we've had enough aspersions against us these days. 289 00:19:53,540 --> 00:19:56,020 Bob, since that newscast hit the air, my phone hasn't stopped ringing. 290 00:19:56,490 --> 00:19:58,950 I've already announced there'll be a thorough investigation of the charges. 291 00:19:59,310 --> 00:20:00,710 I want you to head it. Why me? 292 00:20:00,950 --> 00:20:01,950 Wells. 293 00:20:02,290 --> 00:20:05,950 Both men involved are on your staff. Am I investigating the charges and the 294 00:20:05,950 --> 00:20:09,010 murder of Marie Zarley? I don't see how you can investigate one and not the 295 00:20:09,010 --> 00:20:09,909 other. 296 00:20:09,910 --> 00:20:11,850 Agreed. You have a free hand. 297 00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:17,570 With one exception, in the future, all legal opinions will emanate from the 298 00:20:17,570 --> 00:20:18,590 district attorney's office. 299 00:20:20,890 --> 00:20:22,010 Is that thoroughly understood? 300 00:20:22,670 --> 00:20:23,690 It is by me. 301 00:20:29,740 --> 00:20:32,120 Have you a copy of your brief here, Mark? Two. 302 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,760 I wouldn't mind a look at this famous diatribe myself. 303 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:40,960 Thanks, Benedict. 304 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:46,500 Look, sir, I already told you that I was stupid, and I'm telling you right now 305 00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:47,500 that I'm sorry. 306 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,300 Now, what more do you want? 307 00:20:50,900 --> 00:20:52,000 Tell you after I've read it. 308 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:50,440 not. Section 2, take a break. 309 00:22:15,450 --> 00:22:19,030 Since he has not been suspended and will not be, according to the commissioner's 310 00:22:19,030 --> 00:22:23,090 office, and here I quote, until at least a semblance of evidence... Evidence. 311 00:22:23,830 --> 00:22:24,830 I'll give him evidence. 312 00:22:42,730 --> 00:22:45,390 There's nothing in here about anybody manufacturing evidence. 313 00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:48,330 That was Charlotte's conclusion, not Mark's. 314 00:22:51,790 --> 00:22:52,790 Sir? 315 00:22:53,330 --> 00:22:54,330 My apologies. 316 00:22:54,970 --> 00:22:58,230 The apologies are on me for letting Charlotte get a hold of this thing. 317 00:22:58,870 --> 00:23:05,010 Except, I hate to say that in my opinion, your brief is a lot of legal 318 00:23:05,010 --> 00:23:06,790 -dazzle. It has nothing to do with cold facts. 319 00:23:07,230 --> 00:23:08,550 Smile when you say that, bud. 320 00:23:09,950 --> 00:23:10,950 Fact. 321 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,400 Marie was murdered between 8 and 8 .30 p .m. Fact. At 8 .15, a neighbor saw 322 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,360 Foster's car parked in front of her apartment. 323 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,600 Fact. At 8 .35, another neighbor spotted Foster leaving. Sure. 324 00:23:23,300 --> 00:23:25,780 Except the first neighbor was half blind. 325 00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:29,000 And the testimony of the second was subject to attack. 326 00:23:29,260 --> 00:23:33,100 Somebody had showed her Jerry's picture before she picked him out of the lineup. 327 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:33,968 All right. 328 00:23:33,969 --> 00:23:36,730 What about his prints on the gun? How do you get around that? We could have 329 00:23:36,730 --> 00:23:41,090 handled that gun sometime earlier. Then the killer picked it up and shot Marie 330 00:23:41,090 --> 00:23:44,970 without smudging Foster's prints. Come on, Mark. It's possible, if the killer 331 00:23:44,970 --> 00:23:45,889 wore gloves. 332 00:23:45,890 --> 00:23:47,370 But highly improbable, Mark. 333 00:23:48,410 --> 00:23:51,890 Granted that if you had defended the guy, he might not have been convicted. 334 00:23:52,790 --> 00:23:55,110 But do you really doubt his guilt? Yes, I do. 335 00:23:55,350 --> 00:23:57,350 For the first time. Because of your defense? 336 00:24:01,070 --> 00:24:05,750 Listen, I know I started this because I got too big for my britches. 337 00:24:07,050 --> 00:24:10,290 Figured it was just a classroom game and I was after points. 338 00:24:10,690 --> 00:24:13,990 But then after I talked to Jerry, I don't know. 339 00:24:14,230 --> 00:24:18,230 I just couldn't help but believe in it. With a story like that? Not his story. 340 00:24:18,450 --> 00:24:19,450 Him. 341 00:24:19,590 --> 00:24:23,170 Look, don't you read me, Ed. I mean, it is wild. 342 00:24:23,470 --> 00:24:24,470 It's out of sight. 343 00:24:25,250 --> 00:24:28,490 Everything stacked against him. Even his own words. 344 00:24:29,310 --> 00:24:31,250 But I'd swear he didn't kill that girl. 345 00:24:33,270 --> 00:24:34,270 Ironside. 346 00:24:35,970 --> 00:24:36,970 When? 347 00:24:38,730 --> 00:24:39,730 Yes, of course. 348 00:24:45,550 --> 00:24:47,130 Jerry Foster's escaped. 349 00:25:06,810 --> 00:25:08,990 APB says armed and dangerous. 350 00:25:10,950 --> 00:25:11,950 Approach with care. 351 00:25:16,930 --> 00:25:19,750 What's the penalty for perjuring a guy's life down a drain? 352 00:25:20,710 --> 00:25:21,710 Death. 353 00:25:22,910 --> 00:25:24,430 But don't you approach him that. 354 00:25:26,610 --> 00:25:27,690 He's out to kill you. 355 00:25:28,650 --> 00:25:30,790 Why? You think she framed him. 356 00:25:32,210 --> 00:25:35,030 Then he's stir -crazy. Is that how he impressed you, Mark? 357 00:25:35,290 --> 00:25:39,700 No. What then? The impression that I got is that no matter what happens, Jerry 358 00:25:39,700 --> 00:25:43,920 Faust in his own mind doesn't believe he killed Marie. Or maybe he just can't 359 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:44,920 admit it to himself. 360 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,320 Couldn't that be the way it is, Chief? The mind has all kinds of protective 361 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,320 devices. 362 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,320 It's a possibility. But if he didn't, the killer's been walking around loose 363 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,320 over four years. 364 00:25:55,620 --> 00:25:56,880 That's also a possibility. 365 00:25:57,660 --> 00:25:59,680 One we can't afford to overlook. 366 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:01,800 It's a pretty cool trail by now. 367 00:26:02,420 --> 00:26:04,560 Garvey Durko was the only other suspect we had. 368 00:26:05,610 --> 00:26:07,210 It's all in the homicide file there. 369 00:26:20,970 --> 00:26:22,350 So it doesn't check out, huh? 370 00:26:30,210 --> 00:26:32,350 Is that the statement you made a couple of hours ago? 371 00:26:32,750 --> 00:26:34,550 It's full of discrepancies, Darko. 372 00:26:34,860 --> 00:26:37,500 Detective Brown has been getting the lowdown from Marie's neighbors on you. 373 00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:39,460 they said that I'd kill them, or they're nuts! Sit down. 374 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,440 You want a lawyer? 375 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,580 I told you before, I don't need anyone. But you will, because in about ten 376 00:26:46,580 --> 00:26:48,040 seconds, I'm charging you with murder. 377 00:26:48,820 --> 00:26:49,699 Come on. 378 00:26:49,700 --> 00:26:50,920 All right, wait a minute, wait a minute. 379 00:26:51,580 --> 00:26:53,480 All right, I'll level with you. Go ahead, level with us. 380 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,720 Okay, well, Marie and me, we had this thing, all right? Yeah, we had. 381 00:27:00,140 --> 00:27:02,880 And I was infatuated. Do you understand? 382 00:27:03,220 --> 00:27:04,220 I understand. 383 00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:05,840 But the girl was in love with you, wasn't she? 384 00:27:06,380 --> 00:27:10,280 Yeah, I guess so. But then I met Ellie seven weeks ago when we went to work for 385 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,480 her father. Right, and then we got engaged. So naturally you broke up with 386 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,420 Marie. Yeah, well, now that wasn't easy. 387 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,320 But you did. 388 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:19,800 When? 389 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,560 Tuesday. Speak up. 390 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:22,760 Tuesday! 391 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:23,920 This Tuesday? 392 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,280 Four days ago? I said that it wasn't easy! 393 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,700 So you want Detective Brown to tell us the rest of this? 394 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,140 You've been getting it here for Marie's ex -roommate, haven't you? 395 00:27:34,750 --> 00:27:38,190 Okay. That dumb cow. 396 00:27:38,390 --> 00:27:39,490 She's never liked me. 397 00:27:39,870 --> 00:27:42,810 Well, when Marie found out about Ellie, she flipped. 398 00:27:43,650 --> 00:27:48,270 And she threatened to show up at the engagement and create this terrible 399 00:27:48,430 --> 00:27:49,990 Trusting you, Ellie. Your job, the works. 400 00:27:51,790 --> 00:27:53,450 When's the engagement, Father? Today. 401 00:27:53,950 --> 00:27:57,210 So you went there last night, Friday, and you killed her to shut her up, 402 00:27:57,410 --> 00:27:59,700 No! I haven't! I've got an alibi. 403 00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:02,860 According to your statement, you were home alone last night. Well, now, how 404 00:28:02,860 --> 00:28:03,759 about that? 405 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:04,760 I lied. Why? 406 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,220 Because I was afraid that you were going to go and drag Ellie into this, and 407 00:28:09,220 --> 00:28:11,580 then she was going to find out about Marie and me. You were with Ellie? 408 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,780 On the beach. Why don't you go and ask her? 409 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,140 Ellie backed him up all the way? No loopholes? 410 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,060 Her interrogation is there. 411 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:28,080 Believe me, officer, I've told you everything I can remember. 412 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,800 Gobby described the same place where you sat. 413 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:37,780 It was a big rock near the water. It was all painted, like, with initials and 414 00:28:37,780 --> 00:28:40,560 things and names of clubs. 415 00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:46,600 One was the Bayside Bombers, and another was the Oakland Tigers. 416 00:28:49,060 --> 00:28:50,140 One more question. 417 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:51,700 Did anyone see you? 418 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,360 Well, there were some people on the beach, but I don't know. 419 00:28:56,750 --> 00:28:58,970 Can you describe them? It was just a couple of men fishing. 420 00:28:59,650 --> 00:29:03,030 Oh, there was an old man walking a big dog. 421 00:29:03,230 --> 00:29:05,590 A Doberman Pinscher, I think you call it. 422 00:29:10,510 --> 00:29:13,910 You checked it out, of course. Reese handled that. He covered the beach for 423 00:29:13,910 --> 00:29:14,669 miles around. 424 00:29:14,670 --> 00:29:15,810 Found the man with the Doberman? 425 00:29:16,810 --> 00:29:20,690 No, but he talked to a lot of fishermen who couldn't remember one couple from 426 00:29:20,690 --> 00:29:24,310 another. By then, I'd gotten the stories from the witnesses at the house and the 427 00:29:24,310 --> 00:29:25,310 coffee shop. 428 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,820 The D .A. added that to Foster's prints on the gun and felt he was home free. 429 00:29:30,020 --> 00:29:34,940 Then you or Reef never finished checking out Durko's alibi. 430 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,560 The D .A. was satisfied he had a lock. He went straight to the grand jury. 431 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,880 I was assigned to another case. Fishermen are common. 432 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,280 A Doberman is not. No way. 433 00:29:44,820 --> 00:29:50,140 After four years, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Mark, I want the 434 00:29:50,140 --> 00:29:51,620 truth about this more than you do. 435 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:26,500 At least I found the right rock. 436 00:30:26,780 --> 00:30:30,020 You? I've been wanting a day at the beach, but this is ridiculous. 437 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:31,720 Well, 438 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:32,800 we'd better keep looking. 439 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,960 Hey, let me take a breather. I like it here. Ah, you expect the mountain to 440 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:37,759 to my helmet. 441 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,600 Are the odds against that? A hundred to one. 442 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:40,840 I'll take those odds. 443 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,900 For how much? I'll make it easy on you. A dime. 444 00:30:47,100 --> 00:30:48,100 You're on. 445 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:49,740 That's the ten bucks I ever made. 446 00:30:56,430 --> 00:31:00,310 A Doberman, huh? I do hope they never make you a judge at a dog's... All 447 00:31:00,370 --> 00:31:01,410 you can have your ten dollars. 448 00:31:16,170 --> 00:31:17,170 Mark? 449 00:31:18,130 --> 00:31:19,130 Yes? 450 00:31:23,050 --> 00:31:24,830 What does that look like to you? 451 00:31:26,540 --> 00:31:30,280 The key. But why isn't it in her purse or on her key ring? 452 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,340 Sir, here was an extra key for the apartment. It was made for a roommate 453 00:31:43,340 --> 00:31:46,580 lived with Marie for a while. Wouldn't Marie have put it away somewhere? 454 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,380 Well, it doesn't look like from these pictures that she was a very neat 455 00:31:50,380 --> 00:31:51,380 housekeeper. 456 00:31:52,860 --> 00:31:53,860 All right, son. 457 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:07,800 the beach that night. 458 00:32:34,700 --> 00:32:37,480 I'd like you to note that I'm completely cooperative and that I came here 459 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:38,480 voluntarily. 460 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:39,780 You got that, Eve? 461 00:32:40,220 --> 00:32:43,100 Is she going to write down everything I say? Yes, and we must warn you it can be 462 00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:44,100 used against you. 463 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,700 You have the right to remit. Yes, I know. Keep my big mouth shut. 464 00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:50,700 And I don't need any lawyer. I went through all of this jazz the last time. 465 00:32:50,900 --> 00:32:53,920 Is this going to take very long? You may call your wife if you like. Not at all. 466 00:32:53,940 --> 00:32:55,620 She's visiting her aunt over in Oakland. 467 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,060 We finally located the man with the Doberman. 468 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:01,400 How about that? 469 00:33:01,770 --> 00:33:04,210 Almost every night he walks his dog on the beach after dinner. 470 00:33:04,750 --> 00:33:06,530 You know why we couldn't find him at the time? 471 00:33:08,110 --> 00:33:09,650 No, why? He was out of town. 472 00:33:10,170 --> 00:33:12,470 He always starts his vacation on the 4th of July. 473 00:33:13,350 --> 00:33:14,430 That figures. 474 00:33:14,650 --> 00:33:18,050 In fact, he left Friday noon to beat the holiday traffic. 475 00:33:21,070 --> 00:33:25,910 But we saw him. Not the night of July 3rd you didn't. You lied to us, Turco. 476 00:33:26,110 --> 00:33:28,090 Actually, where were you that night? 477 00:33:29,190 --> 00:33:31,050 Jerry Foster murdered Marie. 478 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:32,520 Now, he was convicted. 479 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,300 Who said anything about the murder? 480 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,500 Look, I mean, what difference does it make now where I was? 481 00:33:37,700 --> 00:33:39,660 Plenty if you were in Marie's apartment that night. 482 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,160 Look, don't call me. Now, I'm clear. Now, there is a statute of limitations. 483 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,860 on murder, there isn't. And you have no alibi. 484 00:33:47,420 --> 00:33:49,380 Motive? Yes, no alibi. 485 00:34:03,690 --> 00:34:04,690 write everything that I say? 486 00:34:04,990 --> 00:34:05,990 Yes. 487 00:34:06,330 --> 00:34:07,990 Well, then I ain't gonna say no more. 488 00:34:08,250 --> 00:34:09,129 All right, Ed. 489 00:34:09,130 --> 00:34:10,530 Lock him up. Get him a lawyer. 490 00:34:10,850 --> 00:34:13,510 All right, wait a minute. Hang on, hang on. Wait a minute.

I'm gonna level with you. Where have we heard that before? 494 00:34:22,670 --> 00:34:26,370 I mean it. Look, I'll admit that I was not on the beach that Friday night. Tell 495 00:34:26,370 --> 00:34:29,050 us something we don't know. That's it. I don't know what you guys do know. 496 00:34:29,610 --> 00:34:32,710 I mean, you have ways of finding out about a guy. Yeah, and we'll find out 497 00:34:32,710 --> 00:34:34,850 truth. It'd be better if it came directly from you. 498 00:34:38,270 --> 00:34:41,310 Well, I kept trying to call Marie that night. 499 00:34:42,290 --> 00:34:46,510 But she wouldn't talk to me. Except to say that all she wanted to hear from me 500 00:34:46,510 --> 00:34:47,870 was that I'd given up Ellie. 501 00:34:48,110 --> 00:34:51,270 Or otherwise she was going to show up at the engagement party and create this 502 00:34:51,270 --> 00:34:52,630 terrible scene. 503 00:34:54,550 --> 00:34:58,130 So I had to see her face to face and beg her to lay off me. 504 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,400 So I drove over to her apartment. At what time? 505 00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:05,240 I don't know, 7 .30. Or perhaps it was 8? 506 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:07,720 Yeah, maybe. I don't know. 507 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,040 I went there and knocked on her door. 508 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:12,240 She wouldn't open it. 509 00:35:13,020 --> 00:35:15,100 She just talked to me through the peephole. 510 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,540 I said I'd give her anything, money, if she'd just leave me and Ellie alone. 511 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,320 She said only one thing that she wanted, that I'd call it off with Ellie. And 512 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,460 she wouldn't discuss anything else. 513 00:35:23,700 --> 00:35:25,180 So she closed the peephole. 514 00:35:25,380 --> 00:35:30,060 I kept trying to talk to that locked door, but... Nothing, just silence. 515 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,520 It was awful. I mean, if she had just let me in so that we could have talked 516 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,580 face to face. What was stopping you? 517 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,420 A locked door. That was no obstacle. 518 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:40,840 What do you mean? 519 00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:42,520 I mean, you had a key. 520 00:36:08,780 --> 00:36:09,960 How'd you know about the key, Chief? 521 00:36:10,700 --> 00:36:15,140 I didn't, but it was a reasonable assumption that she might have given him 522 00:36:15,220 --> 00:36:17,560 After he killed her, he left it lying there on the coffee table? 523 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,860 Perhaps. You think we can get a confession out of him now? 524 00:36:21,380 --> 00:36:22,780 That is up to you. 525 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,100 Me?

She lied 573 00:39:07,330 --> 00:39:08,730 before to save your neck. 574 00:39:10,510 --> 00:39:12,310 I can't help that. 575 00:39:14,230 --> 00:39:15,430 She's all I got now. 576 00:39:17,470 --> 00:39:19,010 The defense rests, Your Honor. 577 00:39:21,630 --> 00:39:22,630 Lock him up, Ed. 578 00:39:23,490 --> 00:39:24,610 Then you can take off. 579 00:39:26,150 --> 00:39:27,150 Come on, Garvey. 580 00:39:41,660 --> 00:39:42,660 Chief Hindsight's office. 581 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:45,560 Hold on. 582 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,280 Elliot Jerkos at the county jail with a lawyer.

Thank you. 584 00:39:58,890 --> 00:40:02,370 If you insist on serving this, Mr. Dolan, we'll probably have to charge 585 00:40:02,410 --> 00:40:06,210 Please, Garvey didn't kill that girl. We might be able to determine that, Mrs. 586 00:40:06,290 --> 00:40:08,250 Turco, if you would answer a few questions. 587 00:40:08,570 --> 00:40:12,070 Mrs. Turco, I... If you'll help clear Garvey. There's evidence to suggest that 588 00:40:12,070 --> 00:40:15,710 your husband was with Marie Zarley the night she was murdered. She'd given him 589 00:40:15,710 --> 00:40:18,070 key. It was found lying there on a coffee table. 590 00:40:19,570 --> 00:40:21,070 Mark, a glass of water, please. 591 00:40:21,990 --> 00:40:23,430 No, no, please, I'm all right. 592 00:40:27,190 --> 00:40:28,510 You knew about the key? 593 00:40:30,530 --> 00:40:34,270 You remember being at the beach with Garvey four days before the murder? 594 00:40:34,990 --> 00:40:39,050 It was the night he told me about Marie and what she threatened to do with us. 595 00:40:39,090 --> 00:40:40,090 He told you that? 596 00:40:42,310 --> 00:40:43,310 And the key? 597 00:40:43,370 --> 00:40:46,570 He threw it away. But lady, he must have gone back and found it because... No. 598 00:41:15,690 --> 00:41:19,990 I just wanted to talk to Marie and beg her to leave Garvey alone, but she 599 00:41:19,990 --> 00:41:23,590 wouldn't listen. She wouldn't even open the door, so I used the key. 600 00:41:24,050 --> 00:41:29,390 And she was so angry and hysterical that she tried to push me out. She had a 601 00:41:29,390 --> 00:41:30,390 gun. 602 00:41:30,510 --> 00:41:34,650 I tried to take it away from her, but it went off. 603 00:41:34,930 --> 00:41:37,250 You really shouldn't say any more, Mrs. Derko. 604 00:42:02,670 --> 00:42:03,670 I've got your girl, Eve. 605 00:42:03,830 --> 00:42:06,250 She had nothing to do with what happened to you, Foster. You leave her alone. 606 00:42:06,430 --> 00:42:07,430 That's up to you, Brown. 607 00:42:08,570 --> 00:42:11,410 You're going to write a full confession about how you framed me and bring it 608 00:42:11,410 --> 00:42:12,550 here. Are you kidding me? 609 00:42:13,810 --> 00:42:17,250 Now, if you value your girlfriend's neck... 610 00:42:40,790 --> 00:42:41,790 That's not important. 611 00:42:42,190 --> 00:42:44,250 Jerry Foster has Eve.

It's my responsibility. I've got a piece to this, actually. We're all 616 00:43:03,750 --> 00:43:04,930 responsible. Now listen. 617 00:43:05,150 --> 00:43:08,030 What are the way in?

The door's unlocked. 620 00:43:19,290 --> 00:43:23,050 Where's Brown? Jerry, just take it easy. You remember me. I spoke to you at the 621 00:43:23,050 --> 00:43:26,290 camp. Now, this is Chief Ironside. If you'd just listen to it. No. You get out 622 00:43:26,290 --> 00:43:27,450 and send Ed Brown here. 623 00:43:29,150 --> 00:43:31,070 If you don't, no, you won't, Jerry. 624 00:43:32,070 --> 00:43:35,490 No more than you killed Marie Zahler.
