1
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:08,100
<i>In the criminal justice system</i>

2
00:00:08,170 --> 00:00:11,970
<i>the people are represented</i>
<i>by two separate</i>
<i>yet equally important groups,</i>

3
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:13,910
<i>the police
who investigate crime</i>

4
00:00:13,980 --> 00:00:16,770
<i>and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.</i>

5
00:00:16,850 --> 00:00:18,280
<i>These are their stories.</i>

6
00:00:19,710 --> 00:00:21,110
So, how was
school today?

7
00:00:21,180 --> 00:00:22,340
Good!

8
00:00:22,420 --> 00:00:23,610
Only good?

9
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:25,980
No! It was great!

10
00:00:26,050 --> 00:00:27,580
And tomorrow will be?

11
00:00:27,660 --> 00:00:29,090
Even better!

12
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:36,990
Hang on, guys.
I'll go get Mommy.

13
00:00:45,270 --> 00:00:46,330
Joy?

14
00:00:58,890 --> 00:01:00,180
Joy?

15
00:01:04,990 --> 00:01:07,360
Joy Johnson.
Blunt force to the head.

16
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:09,430
Based on lividity
and body temp,

17
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:12,090
I put time of death
between 12:00 and 2:00.

18
00:01:12,170 --> 00:01:14,400
Looks like a palm print
in the blood over there.

19
00:01:14,470 --> 00:01:15,990
The trophy's
the murder weapon?

20
00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:17,330
Looks like.

21
00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:19,000
Special Athletics.

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,340
I left work at 3:00
to pick up the kids.

23
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,410
On Thursdays we put
the young ones in
day care

24
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,510
so my wife can
have a few hours off.

25
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,580
Was anything missing
from the house?

26
00:01:29,650 --> 00:01:34,020
I kept some money, maybe
$8,000, in the desk
for emergencies.

27
00:01:34,390 --> 00:01:35,980
A neighbor told
the responding officers

28
00:01:36,060 --> 00:01:39,750
that he saw
a bouncy Hispanic woman
leaving the house around noon.

29
00:01:39,890 --> 00:01:41,560
Bouncy?
What does that even mean?

30
00:01:41,630 --> 00:01:43,220
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.

31
00:01:43,300 --> 00:01:46,100
Larry, I can't find
Olivia's ladybug pillow.

32
00:01:46,170 --> 00:01:47,190
She's throwing a fit.

33
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:48,630
Look in the van.

34
00:01:48,940 --> 00:01:50,730
Or sometimes
Henry takes it.

35
00:01:51,570 --> 00:01:52,630
She's our babysitter.

36
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:55,010
She's got the kids
stashed at a neighbor's.

37
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:59,040
Did your kids see any of
what's inside, your wife?

38
00:01:59,310 --> 00:02:00,410
No, thank God.

39
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,610
I went in ahead.

40
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,350
They waited in the van.

41
00:02:04,420 --> 00:02:06,280
Your kids,
they're all special needs?

42
00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:09,620
Yeah. When we realized
we couldn't get pregnant,

43
00:02:09,690 --> 00:02:12,490
we adopted
a beautiful little girl
with Down Syndrome.

44
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,250
We just kept going.

45
00:02:14,330 --> 00:02:15,560
Nine times?

46
00:02:15,630 --> 00:02:19,290
Ten.
Our oldest, Tim,
is in high school.

47
00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:22,200
He's autistic,
high-performing.

48
00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:24,130
He should be home by now.

49
00:02:24,910 --> 00:02:26,670
Looks like
he's been home already.

50
00:02:27,010 --> 00:02:29,670
There's a yellow book bag
in there with his name
on it.

51
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,570
Dad?

52
00:02:35,450 --> 00:02:36,970
Mom's dead.

53
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,570
I left school after
fourth period and
walked home.

54
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,580
It's eight blocks,
two long ones and
six short ones,

55
00:03:40,650 --> 00:03:42,740
so it took
14 minutes.

56
00:03:42,950 --> 00:03:45,350
I saw my mom
on the floor.

57
00:03:45,620 --> 00:03:48,110
I tried
to wake her up,
but she was dead.

58
00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:51,180
Is that how you got
blood on your hands?

59
00:03:51,260 --> 00:03:53,690
Yeah, because
I tried to wake her up.

60
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,660
Why didn't you
call the police?

61
00:03:55,730 --> 00:04:00,690
Because the police always
suspect the person who's
close to the body,

62
00:04:00,770 --> 00:04:02,500
or sometimes
the boyfriend.

63
00:04:03,100 --> 00:04:06,400
Or sometimes the person
who didn't call the police.

64
00:04:07,510 --> 00:04:08,870
I didn't see that one.

65
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,440
He loves cop shows on TV.
He wants to be a detective.

66
00:04:13,820 --> 00:04:17,340
If this wasn't what it is,

67
00:04:18,220 --> 00:04:20,150
coming here would be
the greatest day
of his life.

68
00:04:20,220 --> 00:04:21,850
Has he ever
been violent

69
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,480
towards anyone
in the family?

70
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,490
No. No. Never.
He's a good kid.

71
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:28,350
The thing is, Tim,

72
00:04:28,430 --> 00:04:31,090
we were wondering why
you left school early.

73
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,730
Other kids pick on me.

74
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,700
They move my things around,
and I have to put them back.

75
00:04:36,770 --> 00:04:38,830
Or they take
my things even.

76
00:04:39,110 --> 00:04:41,040
Is that
why you were
throwing pencils?

77
00:04:43,140 --> 00:04:45,010
We talked to
your school, Tim.

78
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,670
We know they sent you home
because you were throwing
pencils at other boys.

79
00:04:49,050 --> 00:04:50,540
Why were you doing that?

80
00:04:51,420 --> 00:04:52,680
Maybe when you got home,

81
00:04:52,750 --> 00:04:55,480
you told your mother
what happened and
she got mad.

82
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,790
I didn't talk to her.
She was dead.

83
00:04:58,060 --> 00:04:59,120
How did you get
in the house?

84
00:04:59,190 --> 00:05:00,590
Do you have a key?

85
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,130
My father gave me one
because I was trustworthy.

86
00:05:06,530 --> 00:05:09,800
<i>Look, Tim, this</i>
<i>could've been</i>
<i>an accident.</i>

87
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,610
Now, if something bad
happened,

88
00:05:12,670 --> 00:05:14,540
this would be
a good time to tell us.

89
00:05:14,610 --> 00:05:16,840
I don't have anything
to tell you.

90
00:05:17,380 --> 00:05:19,740
You could tell us why
you were mad at school.

91
00:05:25,090 --> 00:05:28,250
Okay.
I did it.
I killed her.

92
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,590
No, he wouldn't...

93
00:05:36,060 --> 00:05:39,500
Okay, we just need you
to tell us exactly
what you did.

94
00:05:39,570 --> 00:05:42,090
I told my mom
what happened
and she got mad.

95
00:05:46,110 --> 00:05:51,370
Tim, why don't you want
to tell us why you were
throwing pencils?

96
00:05:53,980 --> 00:05:57,140
We're police detectives.
We need your help.

97
00:05:58,490 --> 00:06:00,450
You do want to
help us, don't you?

98
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,080
Yes.

99
00:06:04,330 --> 00:06:06,730
Then answer my question.

100
00:06:09,930 --> 00:06:12,530
Yesterday,
after second period,

101
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,660
D.J. Asked if he could
look at my fanny pack.

102
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,560
It was a trick.
He wouldn't give it back.

103
00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:21,170
Why didn't you
want to tell us?

104
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,600
My key was in
the left compartment.

105
00:06:26,380 --> 00:06:29,110
Dad said I was trustworthy.
But I wasn't.

106
00:06:29,180 --> 00:06:30,950
I let it get taken.

107
00:06:33,290 --> 00:06:34,350
D.J. Lovell?

108
00:06:34,420 --> 00:06:35,820
You know him?

109
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,620
His parents are
friends of ours.

110
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,990
He's always been kind
to Tim, to all our kids.

111
00:06:41,060 --> 00:06:42,390
So he's been
in your house?

112
00:06:42,460 --> 00:06:43,520
Sure.

113
00:06:44,770 --> 00:06:48,030
I can't believe
my friend's son
would kill my wife.

114
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,400
Sup.

115
00:06:49,970 --> 00:06:53,740
D.J. Lovell,
he's got a record.
Petty theft and assault.

116
00:06:59,780 --> 00:07:02,250
I didn't steal Tim Johnson's
gay-ass fanny pack.

117
00:07:03,450 --> 00:07:05,420
So if we look around,
we're not going to
find it?

118
00:07:05,490 --> 00:07:07,420
Why do you care
about a fanny pack?

119
00:07:07,490 --> 00:07:08,790
Joy was murdered.

120
00:07:08,860 --> 00:07:10,590
Tim Johnson
had a key in there.

121
00:07:10,660 --> 00:07:13,650
Whoever killed Mrs. Johnson
might have used a key to
get in the house.

122
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:14,920
You think... D. J...

123
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,460
I didn't even know
there was a key in there.

124
00:07:18,630 --> 00:07:20,260
Yes, I took
the fanny pack.

125
00:07:20,370 --> 00:07:22,340
But it was just a joke
that got out of hand.

126
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,500
Where is it?

127
00:07:23,570 --> 00:07:25,330
I threw the pack
in the dumpster.

128
00:07:25,410 --> 00:07:27,500
Then you don't mind
if we look around
for it,

129
00:07:27,580 --> 00:07:31,100
or for the $8,000 that was
taken from the Johnson home?

130
00:07:31,180 --> 00:07:33,110
Go ahead.
Let them look.

131
00:07:33,180 --> 00:07:35,450
Wait. I was
over there Tuesday.

132
00:07:36,180 --> 00:07:38,850
Joy got into a fight
with someone on the phone.

133
00:07:38,990 --> 00:07:40,510
Who?
I don't know.

134
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:44,390
But when Joy hung up,
she said the woman
was a psycho.

135
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,760
She seemed afraid.

136
00:07:48,330 --> 00:07:50,390
Nothing's there.
No fanny pack,
no cash.

137
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:51,660
We're checking dumpsters.

138
00:07:51,730 --> 00:07:53,290
Well, he could have
hidden it someplace else.

139
00:07:53,370 --> 00:07:54,770
The Johnson
home phone records.

140
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,430
There were
three incoming calls

141
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:59,030
around the time
Mrs. Lovell was there
on Tuesday.

142
00:07:59,110 --> 00:08:00,970
One from
the younger kids' school,

143
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,200
one from the Fraternal
Order of Police,

144
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,540
probably asking for money.

145
00:08:04,610 --> 00:08:06,640
Those people never
take no for an answer.

146
00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:10,980
And the third
from a Belinda Alvarez,
Sunnyside, Queens.

147
00:08:11,350 --> 00:08:12,510
Alvarez.

148
00:08:12,590 --> 00:08:15,610
The woman seen leaving
the Johnson home
was Hispanic.

149
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,190
Right. And bouncy.

150
00:08:23,870 --> 00:08:25,360
Belinda Alvarez?

151
00:08:25,430 --> 00:08:26,560
Yes.

152
00:08:27,070 --> 00:08:28,500
Do you know Joy Johnson?

153
00:08:28,740 --> 00:08:30,170
Oh, my God, yes.

154
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,570
Poor woman,
I can't believe it.

155
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,070
Do you want to come in?

156
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:36,200
Sure.

157
00:08:36,980 --> 00:08:38,240
You'll have to
forgive the mess.

158
00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:39,640
It's been
one of those days.

159
00:08:39,710 --> 00:08:42,270
They want to
play with every toy
for about one second,

160
00:08:42,350 --> 00:08:44,580
usually just to hit
each other on the head.

161
00:08:44,650 --> 00:08:46,620
Good thing they got
thick skulls, right?

162
00:08:46,690 --> 00:08:48,120
Is this a day care?

163
00:08:48,190 --> 00:08:51,350
I wish I could
send them home at night.

164
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:52,650
Nope, they're all mine.

165
00:08:52,730 --> 00:08:54,790
Three singles and
a set of septuplets.

166
00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:56,260
I was hoping
for octuplets,

167
00:08:56,330 --> 00:08:59,420
but God decided to bestow
that blessing on
Nadya Suleman.

168
00:09:00,370 --> 00:09:02,340
Mom, say hi
to the police.

169
00:09:13,550 --> 00:09:14,540
Wow!

170
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,220
Ten kids,
just like the Johnsons.

171
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,150
Only mine
are biological,

172
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:24,820
which is why I thought
I should get the show.

173
00:09:24,890 --> 00:09:27,690
Plus I'm a single mother,
so it's more dramatic.

174
00:09:27,830 --> 00:09:28,850
The show?

175
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,590
A new reality show.
Like <i>Jon and Kate,</i>
you know,

176
00:09:31,770 --> 00:09:32,960
only less depressing.

177
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:35,830
You and the Johnsons were
involved in a reality show?

178
00:09:35,940 --> 00:09:37,230
One of us
was going to be.

179
00:09:37,340 --> 00:09:39,030
And I needed it
way more than
they did.

180
00:09:39,110 --> 00:09:41,840
I'm by myself, barely
surviving, on assistance.

181
00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:42,970
They're rich.

182
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,380
So you called Mrs. Johnson
the other day.

183
00:09:45,450 --> 00:09:46,940
Just to lay out the facts.

184
00:09:47,010 --> 00:09:50,380
I explained to her
that I'm much younger
and prettier than she was,

185
00:09:50,450 --> 00:09:54,220
and that my personality
will come across on TV,
don't you think?

186
00:09:55,460 --> 00:09:57,190
And you went to
see her yesterday.

187
00:09:57,260 --> 00:09:58,820
Yes. I must have
just missed the murderer.

188
00:09:58,890 --> 00:09:59,990
It's frightening.

189
00:10:00,060 --> 00:10:03,260
How did Mrs. Johnson
react to your arguments,

190
00:10:03,330 --> 00:10:06,060
about you being younger
and prettier and all?

191
00:10:06,670 --> 00:10:07,830
We didn't argue.

192
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:10,060
We heard you argued
on the phone.

193
00:10:10,370 --> 00:10:11,630
On the phone, yes.

194
00:10:11,710 --> 00:10:14,070
And I was
ready to argue again
when I went to see her.

195
00:10:14,140 --> 00:10:15,630
But she said they weren't
going to do the show.

196
00:10:15,710 --> 00:10:17,870
As far as
she was concerned,
the show was mine.

197
00:10:18,110 --> 00:10:21,050
So you're saying
when you left her,
she was alive?

198
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,350
Of course!
And I was ecstatic.

199
00:10:23,420 --> 00:10:25,040
My own show!

200
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,550
Hence the bouncy.

201
00:10:28,690 --> 00:10:31,490
I don't think anything
that woman is involved with
could be called reality.

202
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:32,890
Septuplets?

203
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,960
When this is all over,
I say we find her
fertility doctor

204
00:10:36,030 --> 00:10:38,020
and arrest him on
general principles.

205
00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:40,890
Let's see if Johnson
backs up her story.

206
00:10:41,670 --> 00:10:43,570
Hey, is Mr. Johnson around?

207
00:10:43,740 --> 00:10:44,800
Downstairs.

208
00:10:49,780 --> 00:10:51,510
Shh. If you're
going down there,

209
00:10:51,580 --> 00:10:53,310
I'm going
to need you to
sign a release.

210
00:10:53,380 --> 00:10:54,370
What for?

211
00:10:54,450 --> 00:10:55,710
So that we can use
your image on the air

212
00:10:55,780 --> 00:10:57,510
for merchandising,
rebroadcast.

213
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,580
We'll think about it.

214
00:11:00,390 --> 00:11:03,850
All right, let's see,
does everybody have milk?

215
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,650
I want Or-Juice!

216
00:11:05,830 --> 00:11:09,020
Or-Juice it is!
Anybody else?

217
00:11:10,460 --> 00:11:11,690
Okay, I'll have to get
more out of the fridge.

218
00:11:11,770 --> 00:11:15,600
Looks like Belinda Alvarez
was lying about the Johnsons
dropping out of the show.

219
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,130
Or his wife wanted to
drop out, but he didn't.

220
00:11:19,210 --> 00:11:23,170
The trick is, you've got to
shake it up or it will just
turn into one big orange.

221
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,080
I've had that
happen to me before.

222
00:11:29,780 --> 00:11:32,450
I love these kids,
but they sure make a mess.

223
00:11:33,050 --> 00:11:35,580
My wife
was so patient.

224
00:11:38,060 --> 00:11:40,720
Can we
maybe talk to you
without the cameras?

225
00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:43,090
I'm supposed to
let them
film everything.

226
00:11:43,330 --> 00:11:45,160
I signed a contract.

227
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,460
So, no time off
for mourning?

228
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:52,340
Look, I know
this seems odd,
with Joy just dead,

229
00:11:52,410 --> 00:11:55,640
but without her
I'm gonna have to
stay home with the kids.

230
00:11:56,580 --> 00:11:59,380
And I don't have any way to
pay for that without the show.

231
00:12:00,310 --> 00:12:02,370
Maybe we could
talk to you
out there.

232
00:12:02,780 --> 00:12:05,550
Um, yeah,
sure, I guess.

233
00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:17,330
Okay. So, what's
going on?

234
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,660
We talked to a woman
named Belinda Alvarez.
Do you know her?

235
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:23,030
She was a candidate
for the reality show.

236
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:24,830
The producer said
she was kind of nuts.

237
00:12:24,910 --> 00:12:28,240
Turns out she was over here
around the time your wife
was killed.

238
00:12:30,410 --> 00:12:32,380
She killed Joy?

239
00:12:32,510 --> 00:12:34,040
She says she didn't.

240
00:12:34,380 --> 00:12:35,850
She says she didn't have
a reason to

241
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,180
because your wife told her
that you weren't going to
do the show.

242
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,050
Joy wouldn't say that.

243
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,150
Joy wanted this show.

244
00:12:44,130 --> 00:12:47,220
She wanted
the world to see
our beautiful children.

245
00:12:49,630 --> 00:12:52,030
When do I get to see
my detectives on TV?

246
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:54,090
Lupo didn't
want to be on camera.

247
00:12:54,270 --> 00:12:55,860
I was having
a bad beard day.

248
00:12:55,940 --> 00:12:57,530
I wasn't going
to say anything.

249
00:12:58,770 --> 00:12:59,900
Paying bills, Loo?

250
00:12:59,970 --> 00:13:03,170
No, checking our
insurance plan.
The lifetime cap.

251
00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:04,800
Is it enough?

252
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,310
Well, if I'm cured in
the next three months,
it's fine.

253
00:13:07,380 --> 00:13:11,040
Otherwise, I know where
you can get a good deal
on a used Toyota.

254
00:13:11,890 --> 00:13:14,120
All right,
so someone's lying.

255
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,620
Is it the husband or
the Septomom?

256
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,020
I'm liking the husband.
His wife didn't want
to do the show,

257
00:13:19,090 --> 00:13:20,390
he was trying
to convince her.

258
00:13:20,460 --> 00:13:23,020
With a Special Athletics
trophy?

259
00:13:23,260 --> 00:13:24,360
Mmm. I don't know.

260
00:13:24,430 --> 00:13:26,730
The Septomom's brought
so many extra people
into this world,

261
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,960
she might
feel entitled
to take one out,

262
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,870
especially one
standing between
her and her own TV show.

263
00:13:31,940 --> 00:13:33,340
Yeah, right,
but it didn't work.

264
00:13:33,410 --> 00:13:35,170
I mean, Mr. Johnson
got the show anyway.

265
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,340
So she wasn't thinking
like a television producer.

266
00:13:37,410 --> 00:13:40,510
She didn't
see the appeal of
the single dad angle.

267
00:13:40,610 --> 00:13:41,640
What's next?

268
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,240
We're going to go see
the actual producer.

269
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,340
Ask him if
Mrs. Johnson
was in or out.

270
00:13:45,690 --> 00:13:46,810
All right.

271
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,560
Having cameras
follow you around 24/7,

272
00:13:53,630 --> 00:13:55,090
some people
aren't comfortable.

273
00:13:55,230 --> 00:13:57,460
Yeah, how about Mrs. Johnson?
How comfortable was she?

274
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,500
She had questions,
concerns.

275
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,660
But Larry assured me
she was totally on board.

276
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,130
Larry did?

277
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,600
I mostly dealt with him.

278
00:14:04,670 --> 00:14:06,470
After we picked his
family for the show,

279
00:14:06,540 --> 00:14:08,440
I faxed the contracts
to his office.

280
00:14:08,510 --> 00:14:10,740
The contract needed
to be signed by
both of them, right?

281
00:14:10,810 --> 00:14:11,970
Husband and wife?

282
00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:13,710
Originally, sure.

283
00:14:13,780 --> 00:14:16,340
But after she died,
it only needed his.

284
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,080
Did Mrs. Johnson
ever sign it?

285
00:14:18,150 --> 00:14:19,680
No, just Larry.

286
00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:22,020
I didn't get it back
until after she was killed.

287
00:14:22,090 --> 00:14:23,320
It kind of
went down to the wire.

288
00:14:23,390 --> 00:14:25,120
So she was
dragging her feet?

289
00:14:25,190 --> 00:14:26,280
Or he was.

290
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,960
He wanted
a higher cooperation fee,
plus more of it upfront.

291
00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:31,530
He has 10 kids
to take care of,

292
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:32,960
plus he's a real estate
developer.

293
00:14:33,030 --> 00:14:35,020
We all know how
that's going nowadays.

294
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,670
Things are slow.
That's not exactly a secret.

295
00:14:38,740 --> 00:14:39,870
How slow?

296
00:14:39,940 --> 00:14:42,700
Well, there used to
be people at some
of those desks.

297
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:43,830
You're still here.

298
00:14:43,910 --> 00:14:46,970
Visiting.
I'm Mr. Johnson's accountant.

299
00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:48,740
And why are you...

300
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,320
There was a rat.

301
00:14:51,820 --> 00:14:52,840
Where?

302
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,010
Over there, and
then it ran over there.

303
00:14:55,260 --> 00:14:56,850
Can you hand me
that file?

304
00:14:58,430 --> 00:15:01,420
I've been here all week,
going through
Mr. Johnson's books.

305
00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:02,860
He's shutting down
a couple of projects

306
00:15:02,930 --> 00:15:05,330
that looked great on paper,
two years ago.

307
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,300
Now, he's just trying
to salvage some equity.

308
00:15:07,370 --> 00:15:08,630
You were here all week?

309
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:10,730
Including the afternoon
Mrs. Johnson was killed?

310
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:11,790
Mmm-hmm.

311
00:15:11,870 --> 00:15:13,570
Was Mr. Johnson
here all day?

312
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,840
He said he had to be
with his kids.

313
00:15:15,910 --> 00:15:18,000
He was gone when
I got back from lunch.

314
00:15:18,910 --> 00:15:21,210
We were
at your office
this afternoon.

315
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,010
We picked up
this picture of you
leaving the building

316
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:24,310
the day your wife
was murdered.

317
00:15:24,390 --> 00:15:27,840
12:15.
You told us you
left work at 3:00.

318
00:15:27,990 --> 00:15:30,920
Larry, are you coming?
It's your turn.

319
00:15:31,690 --> 00:15:32,890
Just a minute.

320
00:15:35,630 --> 00:15:38,360
My sister flew in
from Chicago to help out.

321
00:15:38,500 --> 00:15:39,830
We're playing Twister.

322
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,700
Look, I can explain this.

323
00:15:43,370 --> 00:15:45,800
I should have
just told you before.

324
00:15:47,170 --> 00:15:48,300
Not now.

325
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,880
I lied to you about
what I did that day.

326
00:15:59,450 --> 00:16:00,680
That's right.
You came home,

327
00:16:00,750 --> 00:16:02,750
you tried to
convince your wife
to sign the contract.

328
00:16:02,820 --> 00:16:04,020
No.

329
00:16:05,430 --> 00:16:07,550
I went to see
my girlfriend.

330
00:16:09,130 --> 00:16:10,430
What's her name?

331
00:16:14,230 --> 00:16:17,170
I started working for them
three years ago.

332
00:16:17,270 --> 00:16:19,640
I baby-sit,
sometimes I cook.

333
00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:22,030
I help Joy out
if Larry has to work late.

334
00:16:22,110 --> 00:16:25,410
Except the times
he's working late,
when he's actually here.

335
00:16:26,410 --> 00:16:27,940
It just
kind of happened.

336
00:16:28,850 --> 00:16:30,180
Joy went to bed early.

337
00:16:30,250 --> 00:16:33,380
It was raining,
Larry offered to
drive you home.

338
00:16:33,450 --> 00:16:35,390
His wife
was too busy
with the kids

339
00:16:35,460 --> 00:16:37,080
to pay much
attention to him.

340
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,130
Was he here
on Thursday?

341
00:16:39,190 --> 00:16:42,390
He came over about 1:00.

342
00:16:42,460 --> 00:16:44,400
He left at 3:00
to get the kids.

343
00:16:44,570 --> 00:16:47,590
But his office is what,
like, five minutes
from here?

344
00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:48,690
I guess.

345
00:16:48,770 --> 00:16:51,760
Did he happen to mention
if he stopped by home
on the way over?

346
00:16:52,410 --> 00:16:55,600
No, he loved Joy.

347
00:16:56,340 --> 00:16:58,170
He did. He just...

348
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:00,640
He loved me, too.

349
00:17:00,810 --> 00:17:02,910
Okay, so,
Joy and you,

350
00:17:04,250 --> 00:17:05,950
two women, one man.

351
00:17:06,820 --> 00:17:11,450
As hard as it might be
to understand,
I loved Joy, too.

352
00:17:11,830 --> 00:17:14,620
And I would never
take her away
from those kids.

353
00:17:15,460 --> 00:17:17,520
The way that
they felt about her.

354
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,170
When Larry
brought them home,

355
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,000
they'd jump out of the car
practically before
he'd stopped

356
00:17:24,070 --> 00:17:25,400
and run in to see her.

357
00:17:27,740 --> 00:17:29,230
Is that
a laundry hamper?

358
00:17:31,010 --> 00:17:32,070
Yeah.

359
00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:35,750
Man's shirt.
Larry's?

360
00:17:36,050 --> 00:17:37,480
He keeps
some stuff here.

361
00:17:37,550 --> 00:17:40,610
He always changed shirts
after he visited me.

362
00:17:40,890 --> 00:17:42,010
His wife
wouldn't notice

363
00:17:42,090 --> 00:17:44,920
if he left the house
in one shirt and
came back in another?

364
00:17:45,260 --> 00:17:46,780
He always wears blue.

365
00:17:48,900 --> 00:17:52,420
You left your office at 12:15,
you got to your girlfriend's
at 1:00.

366
00:17:52,900 --> 00:17:55,330
It's plenty of time to
stop by home on the way.

367
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,270
I stopped for a coffee.

368
00:17:57,340 --> 00:17:59,000
I had a lot
to think about.

369
00:17:59,070 --> 00:18:00,630
The shirt you wore to
your girlfriend's house

370
00:18:00,710 --> 00:18:02,700
had specks of your
wife's blood on it.

371
00:18:03,340 --> 00:18:05,240
You get that from
the coffee shop, too?

372
00:18:05,310 --> 00:18:07,580
No. I don't know how.

373
00:18:09,150 --> 00:18:10,310
Oh!

374
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,780
My daughter, Olivia,
has Fetal Alcohol
Syndrome.

375
00:18:14,020 --> 00:18:16,580
She has trouble
speaking and seeing.

376
00:18:16,660 --> 00:18:19,920
She gets
easily frustrated,
she has seizures.

377
00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:23,090
<i>Thursday morning,</i>
<i>she lashed out</i>
<i>at breakfast</i>

378
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,320
<i>and cut my wife
with a grapefruit knife.</i>

379
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,570
<i>I must have gotten
blood on my shirt.</i>

380
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:32,270
This guy has answers
for everything.

381
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:33,530
What do we
have on him?

382
00:18:33,610 --> 00:18:36,010
Well, he cheats on his
wife with the babysitter,

383
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,040
and then signs up
to be a TV star

384
00:18:38,110 --> 00:18:40,600
the day
after the wife is
bludgeoned to death.

385
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,410
Okay,
I'd convict him,

386
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,580
but what evidence do we
have that he's the killer?

387
00:18:44,650 --> 00:18:46,180
The blood on the shirt.

388
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:49,590
Which he just explained with
a heart-rending story about
his daughter.

389
00:18:49,790 --> 00:18:51,260
He lied
about his alibi.

390
00:18:51,330 --> 00:18:52,760
He still doesn't
have one.

391
00:18:52,830 --> 00:18:54,560
He needed the money
he'd get for going
on the show,

392
00:18:54,630 --> 00:18:55,820
but his wife
wouldn't sign on.

393
00:18:56,100 --> 00:18:58,890
Yeah, but that's
according to the
Septomom?

394
00:18:58,970 --> 00:19:00,760
I mean,
not the world's
greatest witness.

395
00:19:00,830 --> 00:19:02,430
You guys have
anything else?

396
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,330
What about this?

397
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,200
His babysitter-mistress
told us the kids always
run in the house

398
00:19:07,270 --> 00:19:08,430
the second
they get home.

399
00:19:08,510 --> 00:19:12,000
The day of the murder,
Larry made them wait
while he went in first.

400
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,410
What if he held them back
because he knew his wife
was dead

401
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,350
and he didn't want them
to see it?

402
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,310
That would
be the nicest thing
I've heard about this guy yet.

403
00:19:19,390 --> 00:19:21,080
Enough to arrest him
for murder?

404
00:19:21,460 --> 00:19:23,120
If you can confirm it, yeah.

405
00:19:23,190 --> 00:19:24,890
The kids are at home
with the sister right now.

406
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,550
Well, take a ride and I'll
keep Mr. Johnson company
for a while.

407
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,660
Are you sure
this is okay?

408
00:19:30,730 --> 00:19:32,600
My brother
will be home
any minute.

409
00:19:32,670 --> 00:19:35,030
We're trying to solve
their mother's murder.

410
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:36,190
Anything they know.

411
00:19:36,270 --> 00:19:38,430
When your dad
takes you home
from school,

412
00:19:38,570 --> 00:19:40,770
what usually happens
when you get to the house?

413
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,040
My dad is going to
bring us pizza.

414
00:19:44,750 --> 00:19:45,940
Okay.

415
00:19:46,210 --> 00:19:47,370
Uh...

416
00:19:47,950 --> 00:19:49,010
How about you?

417
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,020
Do you know what
happens usually when
you get to the house?

418
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,680
Darnell helps Amy
with her seatbelt.

419
00:19:53,750 --> 00:19:58,820
Then Freddy opens the door
and Amy gets out, then
lifts Jane out.

420
00:19:58,890 --> 00:20:02,560
And they all go inside
the house and hug Mom,

421
00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:06,730
except Angie,
who always waits for Dad.

422
00:20:07,230 --> 00:20:10,640
So your dad comes in
the house after you guys?

423
00:20:11,410 --> 00:20:12,600
I don't know.

424
00:20:12,670 --> 00:20:14,540
Yes, you do, squirt.
You just said.

425
00:20:14,610 --> 00:20:16,580
Hey, hey, Tim,
maybe you should...

426
00:20:18,710 --> 00:20:20,700
Maybe you should
help us out here.

427
00:20:22,220 --> 00:20:23,510
Help you detectives?

428
00:20:23,580 --> 00:20:25,310
That's right.
Do you think you can?

429
00:20:25,390 --> 00:20:26,580
Sure!

430
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,790
Squirt, you said
Darnell helps Amy
with her seatbelt.

431
00:20:33,860 --> 00:20:38,060
Then Freddy opens the door
and Amy gets out and
lifts Jane out.

432
00:20:38,130 --> 00:20:40,530
And you all run inside
the house and hug Mom,

433
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,090
except Angie,
who always waits
for Dad, right?

434
00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:48,040
Okay, so on the day that
your mother got hurt,
what happened?

435
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:49,600
I don't know.

436
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,270
You do, squirt.
You're smart.

437
00:20:51,550 --> 00:20:52,840
I am smart.

438
00:20:52,910 --> 00:20:54,570
So tell the
two detectives.

439
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,710
Darnell started to
unbuckle Amy
and Dad said, "Stop."

440
00:21:02,190 --> 00:21:05,390
So, what you usually do,
your Dad said don't do it?

441
00:21:05,630 --> 00:21:07,790
Yes. He said, "Stop."

442
00:21:07,860 --> 00:21:10,630
He made us wait.
He went in first.

443
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,960
That's confirmation.

444
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,160
Yeah, what the lady
asked for.

445
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,360
Anybody home?
Hey, the pizza man
is here!

446
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,730
I got a pizza
for everyone!

447
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,470
Now who wants a pizza?

448
00:21:24,540 --> 00:21:27,100
Amy, remember,
no pepperoni for you.

449
00:21:29,350 --> 00:21:31,280
Hey, what are you guys
doing here?

450
00:21:34,020 --> 00:21:35,490
I got some pizzas.

451
00:21:35,620 --> 00:21:38,020
Larry Johnson, you're
under arrest for murder.

452
00:21:38,390 --> 00:21:39,690
That's a wrap.

453
00:21:47,270 --> 00:21:50,200
"Case number 1-6-7-2-4-9.
<i>People v. Larry Johnson.</i>

454
00:21:50,270 --> 00:21:51,460
"Murder in
the Second Degree."

455
00:21:51,540 --> 00:21:53,700
The plea is Not Guilty,
Your Honor.

456
00:21:53,770 --> 00:21:56,500
And we're
requesting ROR for
humanitarian reasons.

457
00:21:56,580 --> 00:21:57,800
Humanitarian?

458
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,640
Your client's
charged with murder,
not healing lepers.

459
00:22:00,710 --> 00:22:02,770
He has 10 special needs
children at home

460
00:22:02,850 --> 00:22:05,440
who need his care
since his wife
is deceased.

461
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,490
Since he smashed in her head
with a Special Athletics
trophy.

462
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,820
The People
request remand.

463
00:22:09,890 --> 00:22:11,150
He has ties
to the community,

464
00:22:11,220 --> 00:22:13,160
both personal
and professional,

465
00:22:13,230 --> 00:22:14,850
and he cannot
afford high bail.

466
00:22:14,930 --> 00:22:18,420
If he's jailed pending trial,
then he's not the one
who'll suffer,

467
00:22:18,500 --> 00:22:19,660
it's his children.

468
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,270
All right,
we'll hold him
for now on $500,000,

469
00:22:23,340 --> 00:22:26,030
but I'll review
pending a report from
Children's Services.

470
00:22:26,210 --> 00:22:27,330
Thank you.

471
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,370
<i>Hey, the pizza man
is here!</i>

472
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,310
<i>I got a pizza
for everyone.</i>

473
00:22:32,380 --> 00:22:34,440
<i>We were just trying
to have fun.</i>

474
00:22:34,550 --> 00:22:37,570
<i>Just trying to survive</i>
<i>after my wife's</i>
<i>tragic death.</i>

475
00:22:38,150 --> 00:22:40,680
<i>I had no idea
what was about to happen.</i>

476
00:22:40,950 --> 00:22:42,750
<i>Hey, what are you
guys doing here?</i>

477
00:22:45,860 --> 00:22:46,990
<i>I got some pizzas.</i>

478
00:22:47,060 --> 00:22:49,320
<i>Larry Johnson, you're
under arrest for murder.</i>

479
00:22:49,460 --> 00:22:50,620
<i>That's a wrap.</i>

480
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:53,970
<i>I don't know what's
going to happen now.</i>

481
00:22:54,030 --> 00:22:56,300
<i>The kids cry
all the time.</i>

482
00:22:56,670 --> 00:22:58,000
<i>They're acting out.</i>

483
00:22:59,070 --> 00:23:00,600
<i>They need
their father back.</i>

484
00:23:01,510 --> 00:23:03,570
<i>We miss you, Daddy.</i>

485
00:23:05,710 --> 00:23:07,080
Very entertaining.

486
00:23:07,250 --> 00:23:08,710
Whatever happened
to the Cosbys?

487
00:23:08,780 --> 00:23:10,370
They didn't have
enough kids.

488
00:23:10,450 --> 00:23:12,510
Children's Services
just weighed in.

489
00:23:12,890 --> 00:23:16,580
If Mr. Johnson makes bail,
the family stays together
pending a verdict.

490
00:23:16,660 --> 00:23:20,150
And if he doesn't,
the kids get split up
and sent to foster homes.

491
00:23:20,290 --> 00:23:21,420
It'll be ugly.

492
00:23:21,500 --> 00:23:25,090
And our fault.
"Heartless Prosecutors
Break Up Happy Family."

493
00:23:25,230 --> 00:23:26,790
It'll poison
the jury pool.

494
00:23:27,530 --> 00:23:29,260
Lower the bail to $100,000.

495
00:23:29,340 --> 00:23:32,600
But make one condition
that he stop appearing
on that damn show.

496
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,030
Ms. Rubirosa?

497
00:23:37,540 --> 00:23:38,940
Connie, right?

498
00:23:39,350 --> 00:23:40,680
Swarthmore.

499
00:23:40,750 --> 00:23:43,050
You lived with Susie Nevins,
senior year.

500
00:23:43,350 --> 00:23:47,050
I dated Karen Lazar,
drove a yellow
Geo Metro.

501
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:50,250
And sold rides
to New York.
Artie...

502
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,450
Kramer.

503
00:23:52,190 --> 00:23:54,460
The reality show producer.

504
00:23:54,860 --> 00:23:55,990
Guilty.

505
00:23:57,430 --> 00:24:01,090
Hey, I can guess what
you probably think about
a show like <i>Larry Plus Ten,</i>

506
00:24:01,170 --> 00:24:03,900
but do you know how many
special needs children
all around the country

507
00:24:03,970 --> 00:24:05,700
are being adopted
after one episode?

508
00:24:05,770 --> 00:24:08,570
Well, hopefully by better
parents than Mr. Johnson.

509
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,170
The show's dead,
Connie, because of
your bail condition.

510
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,580
We need Larry on camera.

511
00:24:12,650 --> 00:24:13,740
It's not
going to happen.

512
00:24:13,810 --> 00:24:14,910
Okay.

513
00:24:15,020 --> 00:24:16,280
Well, what about you?

514
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:17,950
What about me?

515
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:21,050
Well, the sister's a stiff,
but we've still got the kids.

516
00:24:21,150 --> 00:24:23,490
We can keep it alive
by focusing on the trial

517
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,860
and contrasting that
with her struggles
inside the house.

518
00:24:25,930 --> 00:24:28,120
Cameras aren't allowed
in the courtroom.

519
00:24:29,060 --> 00:24:30,620
So outside the court.

520
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:33,560
D.A. Doing prep,
D.A. Briefing us
on developments.

521
00:24:33,630 --> 00:24:35,190
The D.A. Telling you
you're out of your mind.

522
00:24:35,270 --> 00:24:37,600
It's an opportunity
to take your case
to the public.

523
00:24:37,670 --> 00:24:40,110
Plus, I have tapes
of Larry Johnson
and his wife

524
00:24:40,170 --> 00:24:41,770
when they were being
considered for the show,

525
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,300
talking about
whether or not to do it
and not always agreeing.

526
00:24:45,380 --> 00:24:46,810
I can subpoena those tapes.

527
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,680
We'll fight it.
First Amendment.

528
00:24:48,850 --> 00:24:50,710
Or, you could get them
hand-delivered.

529
00:24:54,890 --> 00:24:56,010
The tapes could help.

530
00:24:56,090 --> 00:24:58,110
So we'll fight in court
to get them.

531
00:24:58,360 --> 00:25:00,290
But how do we
make a showing
they're relevant

532
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:01,660
if we haven't
seen them?

533
00:25:01,730 --> 00:25:03,250
Without our point of view
on the show,

534
00:25:03,330 --> 00:25:04,990
it's all propaganda
for acquittal.

535
00:25:05,070 --> 00:25:06,430
We'll pick jurors
who haven't seen it.

536
00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:10,160
Or we can embrace it.
Argue our case and
get the tapes.

537
00:25:10,270 --> 00:25:11,360
What's the downside?

538
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,630
Fine. Why don't you be
on the show?

539
00:25:14,570 --> 00:25:15,670
He didn't ask me.

540
00:25:25,450 --> 00:25:27,850
Hold it. Sorry.
I've got a white
balance glitch.

541
00:25:28,220 --> 00:25:30,490
Listen, can you
arrive again?

542
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:32,480
Arrive again?

543
00:25:32,860 --> 00:25:34,350
Just drive
around the block.

544
00:25:34,460 --> 00:25:37,590
Look, I'm a little late.
Why don't I just get in
and get out again?

545
00:25:37,700 --> 00:25:39,060
Okay.
We can cheat it.

546
00:25:49,940 --> 00:25:51,070
Thank you.

547
00:25:51,140 --> 00:25:52,440
Okay, stop there.

548
00:25:53,050 --> 00:25:55,740
Now, can you tell
what you're going to
be doing in there today?

549
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,010
Tell who?

550
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,620
The camera, like it's as
if you're talking to
a friend.

551
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:05,680
What?

552
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,090
You having fun?

553
00:26:07,260 --> 00:26:09,750
I am going to kill you
and then I'm going to
kill McCoy.

554
00:26:09,830 --> 00:26:10,890
On camera?

555
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,090
I don't care.
I'd be better off in prison.

556
00:26:13,170 --> 00:26:14,260
Where are you?

557
00:26:14,370 --> 00:26:15,860
I'm in the courthouse.

558
00:26:15,970 --> 00:26:17,100
Are you almost here?

559
00:26:17,170 --> 00:26:19,540
Yes. Uh-huh,
except, first, I have to
tell my friend, the camera,

560
00:26:19,610 --> 00:26:20,730
what's going on.

561
00:26:20,810 --> 00:26:22,040
What are you
going to say?

562
00:26:22,180 --> 00:26:24,410
Don't worry,
just the party line.

563
00:26:33,890 --> 00:26:36,220
Today we're going to
begin to prove our case.

564
00:26:36,290 --> 00:26:38,350
Larry Johnson
may look admirable

565
00:26:38,430 --> 00:26:40,790
because he's
surrounded himself
with needy children.

566
00:26:41,030 --> 00:26:42,590
But the evidence
will show...

567
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,700
...that Larry Johnson,
his business failing,

568
00:26:45,770 --> 00:26:48,930
desperately
wanted to appear
on a reality show.

569
00:26:49,140 --> 00:26:50,730
He needed the money,

570
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,170
and cared nothing
about exposing
his children

571
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,230
to public scrutiny
and humiliation.

572
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,270
When his wife
refused to go along,

573
00:27:00,350 --> 00:27:04,080
he argued with her
and then he killed her.

574
00:27:04,820 --> 00:27:06,410
The only person
in that family

575
00:27:06,490 --> 00:27:08,920
that Larry Johnson
really cared about

576
00:27:10,490 --> 00:27:11,920
was Larry Johnson.

577
00:27:20,270 --> 00:27:22,930
No one saw Mr. Johnson
kill his wife.

578
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:24,800
No one even
saw them argue.

579
00:27:26,010 --> 00:27:28,370
What people did see,
as the evidence will show,

580
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,770
was another woman who
desperately wanted to
be on that show,

581
00:27:31,850 --> 00:27:34,810
leaving the Johnson house
at the time of the murder.

582
00:27:35,420 --> 00:27:38,040
And that a young man
with a criminal record

583
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:40,550
stole a key
to the Johnson house.

584
00:27:41,220 --> 00:27:43,780
And that one of
the Johnson's
adopted children,

585
00:27:43,860 --> 00:27:45,760
a troubled young man of 16,

586
00:27:45,830 --> 00:27:48,730
actually confessed
to killing his mother.

587
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:51,730
Who killed Joy Johnson?

588
00:27:54,630 --> 00:27:55,760
I don't know.

589
00:27:56,300 --> 00:27:57,560
And you know what?

590
00:27:58,470 --> 00:28:00,170
Neither do the authorities.

591
00:28:05,550 --> 00:28:07,570
There's no real evidence
against those others.

592
00:28:07,650 --> 00:28:10,240
The Defense is just
throwing spaghetti
against the ceiling,

593
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,050
hoping something sticks.

594
00:28:12,190 --> 00:28:13,650
Exactly what
I would be doing.

595
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,450
And some of it
sounds pretty sticky.

596
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:16,920
The jury's not
going to like Johnson.

597
00:28:16,990 --> 00:28:19,460
Less than a day after
his wife is murdered,

598
00:28:19,530 --> 00:28:23,860
he goes on a reality show to
exploit his disabled children.

599
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,730
This is the video we got
in exchange for peddling
my ass on TV.

600
00:28:33,810 --> 00:28:35,800
<i>We're very excited</i>
<i>about this.</i>

601
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,240
<i>We can't wait
to share our family</i>

602
00:28:37,310 --> 00:28:38,870
<i>with as many people
as we can.</i>

603
00:28:38,950 --> 00:28:42,880
<i>We still</i>
<i>just need to discuss it</i>
<i>a little more among ourselves.</i>

604
00:28:43,150 --> 00:28:46,080
<i>Do you have any</i>
<i>questions I can answer</i>
<i>for you?</i>

605
00:28:46,150 --> 00:28:48,620
<i>My husband and I</i>
<i>should probably</i>
<i>talk privately.</i>

606
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,450
<i>Honey, you may
as well get used to it.</i>

607
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,180
<i>The camera's going to
be on all the time.</i>

608
00:28:52,260 --> 00:28:54,990
<i>That's what I want
to talk about, Larry.</i>

609
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,760
<i>You know the kids</i>
<i>get teased enough</i>
<i>already.</i>

610
00:28:58,830 --> 00:29:03,030
<i>Some of them</i>
<i>don't have the judgment</i>
<i>to control what they say.</i>

611
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:05,540
<i>We really need to
talk about this.</i>

612
00:29:07,370 --> 00:29:09,640
<i>Does that
have to be on?</i>

613
00:29:10,540 --> 00:29:13,240
The seed of the argument
that led to the murder.

614
00:29:13,350 --> 00:29:15,580
I don't hear her saying
she won't do the show.

615
00:29:15,650 --> 00:29:17,580
We have a witness
who she said it to.

616
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,120
Mrs. Johnson
was very gracious.

617
00:29:24,190 --> 00:29:26,560
She offered
to make me tea,
but I couldn't stay.

618
00:29:26,630 --> 00:29:29,460
I had 10 kids waiting
with my mom at a McDonald's.

619
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,960
Before she offered
to make you tea,

620
00:29:33,030 --> 00:29:35,260
what did she say
about the reality show?

621
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:36,660
That I could have it.

622
00:29:36,740 --> 00:29:38,170
She thought
it was deleterious.

623
00:29:39,410 --> 00:29:40,570
Deleterious?

624
00:29:40,740 --> 00:29:42,330
I had to look it up, too.

625
00:29:42,410 --> 00:29:43,810
Like it would
damage the kids.

626
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,070
She didn't like it.
They weren't going
to do it.

627
00:29:46,150 --> 00:29:47,240
Thank you.

628
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,410
Isn't it possible
that Mrs. Johnson
told you that

629
00:29:53,490 --> 00:29:54,850
just to get you
out of her house?

630
00:29:55,620 --> 00:29:56,750
Why would she do that?

631
00:29:56,820 --> 00:29:59,620
Because you'd argued
with her on the phone,
made threats.

632
00:29:59,830 --> 00:30:01,290
I never made threats.

633
00:30:01,630 --> 00:30:04,260
You thought you deserved
to be on that show,
didn't you?

634
00:30:04,330 --> 00:30:06,990
I did.
The Johnsons didn't even
have those kids themselves.

635
00:30:07,070 --> 00:30:08,560
I had mine
the old-fashioned way.

636
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,200
With fertility drugs
and a stranger's sperm.

637
00:30:11,870 --> 00:30:14,000
How badly
did you want to
be on that show?

638
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,230
A lot.
But I'm not
a violent person.

639
00:30:16,580 --> 00:30:19,570
Didn't you tell
the show's producer
that you would kill someone

640
00:30:19,650 --> 00:30:20,940
to be on that show?

641
00:30:21,010 --> 00:30:22,980
No. Me? Never.

642
00:30:23,150 --> 00:30:25,710
Your Honor, I'd like to
play an audition tape
Ms. Alvarez made

643
00:30:25,790 --> 00:30:26,840
when she applied
for the show.

644
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,250
Objection.
We have no idea
what that DVD is,

645
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:31,980
or who made it,
or where it came from.

646
00:30:32,060 --> 00:30:33,550
Ms. Alvarez can
authenticate it
for us.

647
00:30:33,630 --> 00:30:34,680
She was there.

648
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,890
Very well,
subject to authentication.

649
00:30:43,870 --> 00:30:46,170
<i>I know, maybe you're</i>
<i>thinking about other people,</i>

650
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,900
<i>but there's nobody
as good as me for this.</i>

651
00:30:47,970 --> 00:30:49,840
<i>My septuplets
are very hilarious,</i>

652
00:30:49,910 --> 00:30:52,500
<i>and I'm already getting them
used to being on camera.</i>

653
00:30:52,980 --> 00:30:54,570
Is that you,
Ms. Alvarez?

654
00:30:55,150 --> 00:30:56,340
Yes. It's me.

655
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:57,780
Mmm.

656
00:30:58,320 --> 00:30:59,840
<i>It's really about</i>
<i>the parent, Belinda.</i>

657
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:01,780
<i>We need someone
who's passionate.</i>

658
00:31:02,020 --> 00:31:05,010
<i>Passionate?</i>
<i>You think I'm maybe one</i>
<i>of those wise Latina women?</i>

659
00:31:05,090 --> 00:31:06,080
<i>Not me.</i>

660
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,420
<i>You're not wise?</i>

661
00:31:07,490 --> 00:31:09,290
<i>Not boring.
I've got the fire.</i>

662
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,160
<i>You have no idea.</i>
<i>I swear, to get on</i>
<i>this show I would kill.</i>

663
00:31:20,170 --> 00:31:22,110
Thank you, Ms. Alvarez,
you may step down.

664
00:31:22,180 --> 00:31:24,940
I guess your friend Kramer
made a deal with them, too.

665
00:31:25,010 --> 00:31:26,770
We'll take
a 15 minute recess.

666
00:31:32,220 --> 00:31:37,680
When Ms. Alvarez told you
that she would kill to be
on your show,

667
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,280
did you take her literally?

668
00:31:39,630 --> 00:31:42,420
Of course not. No,
I think she was just
trying to impress me.

669
00:31:42,660 --> 00:31:44,930
Because that's
the kind of thing
you look for, isn't it?

670
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,160
Exaggerated
fake emotions?

671
00:31:47,530 --> 00:31:49,130
Well, they're called
reality shows.

672
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,170
That's what they're called.
But they're scripted,
aren't they?

673
00:31:52,470 --> 00:31:56,570
Based around manufactured
emotional situations?

674
00:31:56,710 --> 00:31:59,270
We take what's there
and we amplify it.

675
00:31:59,450 --> 00:32:00,740
Amplify.

676
00:32:00,910 --> 00:32:04,480
For example,
a simple desire to
be on the show

677
00:32:04,550 --> 00:32:06,580
into a bogus
willingness to kill?

678
00:32:06,650 --> 00:32:07,980
That's the kind of thing
you want.

679
00:32:08,050 --> 00:32:11,680
Ms. Alvarez was showing you
that she knew how to play
the game.

680
00:32:12,790 --> 00:32:14,090
Something like that.

681
00:32:14,190 --> 00:32:16,290
Now, did Mrs. Johnson
ever express

682
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,460
that kind of eagerness
to be on the show?

683
00:32:18,530 --> 00:32:19,560
No.

684
00:32:19,630 --> 00:32:23,230
Did she ever even tell you
she wanted to be on the show?

685
00:32:23,900 --> 00:32:25,060
Not directly.

686
00:32:25,340 --> 00:32:27,200
I only heard
through her husband.

687
00:32:27,470 --> 00:32:28,740
Her husband.

688
00:32:28,980 --> 00:32:31,030
How long
before her death

689
00:32:31,110 --> 00:32:33,770
did you send him
the contract that
needed to be signed?

690
00:32:34,380 --> 00:32:35,570
About a month.

691
00:32:35,750 --> 00:32:37,940
And when did you tell him
you needed it back?

692
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,520
Right away.
He kept saying,
"No problem."

693
00:32:40,590 --> 00:32:41,850
It kept not coming.

694
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,190
And what did
you tell him

695
00:32:44,260 --> 00:32:47,560
the last time you spoke to him
before Mrs. Johnson was
murdered?

696
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,860
I said
I need it back,
signed, in 24 hours,

697
00:32:51,930 --> 00:32:54,560
or I'm going to have
to do the show with
somebody else.

698
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:56,830
Thank you, Mr. Kramer.

699
00:32:59,770 --> 00:33:04,770
So, no one ever got killed
over a reality show?

700
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:06,710
I don't know about ever.

701
00:33:06,780 --> 00:33:08,210
Would you be surprised
to hear that

702
00:33:08,310 --> 00:33:10,650
there have been reports
of a dozen suicides,

703
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,590
or suicide attempts made
by reality show contestants?

704
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,020
Well, people can
get highly wrought,

705
00:33:17,090 --> 00:33:20,150
and so we try to weed out
the ones that we think
are unstable.

706
00:33:20,230 --> 00:33:22,630
Is that why you didn't
go with Belinda Alvarez?

707
00:33:22,730 --> 00:33:23,720
In part.

708
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:25,820
Because she's
a high-strung
erratic woman,

709
00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:27,370
who, as far as you know,
got herself pregnant

710
00:33:27,430 --> 00:33:28,960
with septuplets
she couldn't support

711
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:30,500
just to get herself
on a show like yours?

712
00:33:30,570 --> 00:33:32,900
Objection. There's
no basis for any of that.

713
00:33:32,970 --> 00:33:34,200
We've seen the woman.

714
00:33:34,270 --> 00:33:36,500
Sustained.
Move on, Ms. Nuvell.

715
00:33:39,350 --> 00:33:43,180
As for the
delay in getting
the contract back,

716
00:33:43,250 --> 00:33:46,550
did you know it was because
Mrs. Johnson was reluctant
to sign it?

717
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:47,710
No.

718
00:33:47,790 --> 00:33:49,150
Isn't it
just as likely
it was because

719
00:33:49,220 --> 00:33:51,590
Mr. Johnson
was negotiating
for a higher payment?

720
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,390
I don't know. I told him
I couldn't go any higher.

721
00:33:54,460 --> 00:33:56,160
But he was trying,
wasn't he?

722
00:33:56,230 --> 00:33:57,460
He asked.

723
00:33:57,530 --> 00:33:59,360
He even had
his accountant call me.

724
00:33:59,430 --> 00:34:00,870
He said
he was doing
some tax planning

725
00:34:00,930 --> 00:34:01,990
and wanted to know

726
00:34:02,070 --> 00:34:04,260
how much money Mr. Johnson
could expect to earn from
the show.

727
00:34:04,970 --> 00:34:06,000
Thank you.

728
00:34:07,310 --> 00:34:08,400
Hey.

729
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,210
The police talked to
Johnson's accountant.
She's a woman.

730
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:15,750
Then who called Kramer?

731
00:34:17,180 --> 00:34:21,090
I never expected it,
but I've been drawn into
this bizarre murder trial

732
00:34:21,150 --> 00:34:23,920
involving two of our
very special families.

733
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,080
Ms. Rubirosa,
how did I do?

734
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,590
You were fantastic.

735
00:34:29,660 --> 00:34:31,890
Can I have a word
with the cameras off?

736
00:34:32,630 --> 00:34:35,260
Only if you
promise to give us your
full impressions afterwards.

737
00:34:35,330 --> 00:34:37,360
We're airing a very
special edition Sunday night.

738
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,800
Artie, I think the lines
are getting a little bit
blurred here.

739
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,610
Can I talk to you, please?

740
00:34:46,750 --> 00:34:49,940
Kramer had a callback number
for Johnson's so-called
accountant.

741
00:34:50,180 --> 00:34:53,020
It's a finance company
that's a front for
Sammy Shiner.

742
00:34:53,450 --> 00:34:54,510
The loan shark?

743
00:34:55,350 --> 00:34:58,620
If Sammy Shiner wanted
to know how much money
Johnson had coming,

744
00:34:58,690 --> 00:35:00,390
it was because
Johnson owed him.

745
00:35:00,830 --> 00:35:03,060
And Shiner is not someone
you want to keep waiting.

746
00:35:03,130 --> 00:35:06,160
OCID has him
listed as a suspect
in at least four murders.

747
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:07,720
Johnson's business
is failing.

748
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,270
He borrows from Shiner.
He can't pay it back.

749
00:35:10,340 --> 00:35:13,330
He really, really needs
that reality show gig.

750
00:35:13,940 --> 00:35:15,530
That amps
his motive 20 fold,

751
00:35:15,610 --> 00:35:17,240
if we can get
Shiner to testify.

752
00:35:17,310 --> 00:35:19,040
We get a material
witness warrant,

753
00:35:19,110 --> 00:35:20,910
give him
transactional immunity.

754
00:35:20,980 --> 00:35:21,970
It's doable.

755
00:35:22,050 --> 00:35:23,110
I'll start the application.

756
00:35:23,180 --> 00:35:25,240
No, no. Not yet.
It'll tip them off.

757
00:35:26,190 --> 00:35:28,280
Johnson's taking the
stand on Monday, right?

758
00:35:28,350 --> 00:35:30,220
He's going to
have the jury
in tears.

759
00:35:30,290 --> 00:35:32,420
His grief for his wife,
his beautiful children...

760
00:35:32,490 --> 00:35:35,890
Let him. All I have to do is
get him to say something,
anything,

761
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,620
about not
needing money.

762
00:35:37,700 --> 00:35:39,670
Then we bring
Shiner in for rebuttal,

763
00:35:39,730 --> 00:35:43,460
the jury will see Johnson's
a liar who's played them
for fools.

764
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,670
My wife was concerned
about our children's
well-being, of course.

765
00:35:51,740 --> 00:35:53,010
We both were.

766
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,170
So we got assurances
from the producers

767
00:35:55,250 --> 00:35:57,010
that we could
review the tapes,

768
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:58,950
that we could protect them.

769
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,220
I was satisfied and
so was she.

770
00:36:02,660 --> 00:36:04,920
Then why did she tell
Ms. Alvarez otherwise?

771
00:36:06,730 --> 00:36:08,280
I don't believe she did.

772
00:36:08,730 --> 00:36:10,790
We've heard testimony
that on the day of the murder,

773
00:36:10,860 --> 00:36:12,390
when you returned home
with your children,

774
00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:14,300
you altered
your usual routine.

775
00:36:15,270 --> 00:36:17,530
My wife had been
tired that morning.

776
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:21,330
I thought
she might be napping,
so I held the kids back.

777
00:36:22,210 --> 00:36:24,200
It wasn't
that unusual.

778
00:36:24,980 --> 00:36:27,380
So you didn't kill your wife,
Mr. Johnson?

779
00:36:27,750 --> 00:36:29,010
Of course not!

780
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:32,610
I thanked God every day
that he had brought her
into my life,

781
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:34,280
and into our children's.

782
00:36:34,420 --> 00:36:36,410
She literally
saved their lives.

783
00:36:37,020 --> 00:36:38,650
They loved her for that.

784
00:36:40,730 --> 00:36:41,950
So did I.

785
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:43,920
Thank you.

786
00:36:47,730 --> 00:36:50,400
If you loved your wife,
what emotion exactly

787
00:36:50,470 --> 00:36:52,530
did you feel for
your babysitter?

788
00:36:53,910 --> 00:36:55,640
I'm not perfect.

789
00:36:56,940 --> 00:36:58,270
I never said I was.

790
00:36:59,950 --> 00:37:01,380
I may have strayed,

791
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:04,680
but that doesn't
make me a murderer.

792
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,180
On the day
your wife was killed,

793
00:37:07,250 --> 00:37:09,350
you left your office
at 12:15,

794
00:37:09,420 --> 00:37:13,120
but you didn't arrive at your
girlfriend's apartment
until 1:00.

795
00:37:13,330 --> 00:37:14,790
I stopped for coffee.

796
00:37:16,230 --> 00:37:18,290
I was thinking about
what I was doing.

797
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,390
You were thinking
that you shouldn't go
to see your girlfriend

798
00:37:21,470 --> 00:37:25,200
and then you went
to see your girlfriend?

799
00:37:28,240 --> 00:37:29,300
Yeah.

800
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,430
You didn't stop in first
to see your wife?

801
00:37:31,510 --> 00:37:32,530
No.

802
00:37:32,610 --> 00:37:35,980
To try to convince her
one more time to sign
that contract?

803
00:37:36,050 --> 00:37:37,040
No.

804
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,310
Because business
was terrible and
you needed money.

805
00:37:39,390 --> 00:37:41,510
I didn't need money
that badly.

806
00:37:41,850 --> 00:37:44,050
To do something that
would hurt my children?

807
00:37:45,290 --> 00:37:46,660
To kill my wife?

808
00:37:46,790 --> 00:37:48,690
It was a desperate
situation.

809
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,360
Your projects were failing.
You were deep in debt.

810
00:37:51,430 --> 00:37:55,060
I could do other projects,
I could do something else.

811
00:37:55,670 --> 00:37:57,500
I might have owed
a little money,

812
00:37:58,170 --> 00:38:00,700
but it's not like it was
a matter of life or death.

813
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:02,930
Thank you.

814
00:38:04,310 --> 00:38:06,370
Get that
material witness warrant.

815
00:38:09,050 --> 00:38:10,480
<i>It's not what
I ever expected,</i>

816
00:38:10,550 --> 00:38:13,420
<i>but I've been drawn into
this bizarre murder trial</i>

817
00:38:13,490 --> 00:38:16,390
<i>involving two of our
very special families.</i>

818
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,790
<i>Ms. Rubirosa,
how did I do?</i>

819
00:38:19,190 --> 00:38:20,820
<i>You were fantastic.</i>

820
00:38:20,890 --> 00:38:23,450
<i>Can I have a word
with the cameras off?</i>

821
00:38:23,530 --> 00:38:26,560
<i>Well, only if you</i>
<i>promise to give us your</i>
<i>full impressions afterwards.</i>

822
00:38:26,630 --> 00:38:28,860
<i>We're airing a special
edition Sunday night.</i>

823
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:32,330
<i>Artie, I think the lines</i>
<i>are getting a little bit</i>
<i>blurred here.</i>

824
00:38:32,410 --> 00:38:33,600
<i>Can I talk to you,
please?</i>

825
00:38:33,670 --> 00:38:35,330
How much longer
must this go on?

826
00:38:35,470 --> 00:38:36,530
Not much.

827
00:38:36,780 --> 00:38:39,370
Johnson stepped right into it
on the witness stand.

828
00:38:39,450 --> 00:38:42,070
The loan shark, Shiner,
will demolish him.

829
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:43,970
He'll testify?
He's gone.

830
00:38:44,780 --> 00:38:47,220
The cops just called.
Shiner seems to be
out of the country.

831
00:38:47,290 --> 00:38:48,690
Somewhere in
the Caribbean.

832
00:38:48,750 --> 00:38:51,250
His associates don't know
where he is or when he'll
be back.

833
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,220
When did he leave?
This morning.

834
00:38:53,290 --> 00:38:54,490
They knew.

835
00:38:54,790 --> 00:38:57,850
The Defense somehow knew
you knew about Shiner

836
00:38:57,930 --> 00:38:59,450
and tipped him off
to get the hell
out of town.

837
00:38:59,530 --> 00:39:01,330
How? How did they know?

838
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:02,630
Oh, God.

839
00:39:02,770 --> 00:39:03,860
What?

840
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,400
This aired last night.

841
00:39:06,110 --> 00:39:07,900
That's my pad. I carried it
out of the courtroom.

842
00:39:07,970 --> 00:39:11,030
I was taking notes
while Kramer testified.

843
00:39:16,850 --> 00:39:18,480
The Defense did
what you just did.

844
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,880
Now that's
reality television.

845
00:39:21,790 --> 00:39:22,980
Yeah.

846
00:39:26,630 --> 00:39:29,860
As our planned
rebuttal witness
is unavailable,

847
00:39:29,930 --> 00:39:31,590
I have a few more
questions.

848
00:39:32,870 --> 00:39:38,300
Mr. Johnson, when did you
first become acquainted
with Sammy Shiner?

849
00:39:39,670 --> 00:39:40,830
I'm sorry, who?

850
00:39:41,110 --> 00:39:43,700
He's a principal
at Uptown Finance,

851
00:39:43,780 --> 00:39:47,580
a company you owed
$400,000.

852
00:39:48,310 --> 00:39:51,150
I don't think I met
anyone there named Shiner.

853
00:39:51,550 --> 00:39:54,680
But you are aware that
the phone call to
Mr. Kramer

854
00:39:54,750 --> 00:39:59,250
that was supposedly
from your accountant
asking about your earnings,

855
00:39:59,330 --> 00:40:01,990
was actually
made by someone
at Uptown Finance.

856
00:40:02,730 --> 00:40:04,890
I don't know anything
about that.

857
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,800
You didn't know
you borrowed money

858
00:40:07,870 --> 00:40:10,200
from a notorious
loan shark,

859
00:40:10,270 --> 00:40:14,730
who was now taking a close,
personal interest in
your finances?

860
00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:16,330
No.

861
00:40:16,540 --> 00:40:19,510
Uptown Finance came
highly recommended.

862
00:40:20,010 --> 00:40:22,450
It was a normal
business transaction.

863
00:40:22,650 --> 00:40:25,210
A normal
business transaction

864
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,880
with a man whose
nonpaying customers

865
00:40:27,950 --> 00:40:30,250
have a habit
of winding up dead.

866
00:40:30,660 --> 00:40:33,450
You had
to get your wife
to sign that contract

867
00:40:33,530 --> 00:40:34,890
or you risked
being murdered.

868
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:36,830
Objection! Your Honor,
if the Prosecution
wants to

869
00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:39,760
put someone
named Sammy Shiner
on trial for loan sharking,

870
00:40:39,830 --> 00:40:42,360
I suggest they launch
the appropriate prosecution,

871
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,600
or at least
bring him in to testify.

872
00:40:44,670 --> 00:40:47,370
I agree.
Mr. Cutter,
that's enough.

873
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:48,960
Do you have
anything else?

874
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:51,970
No, Your Honor.

875
00:41:13,930 --> 00:41:16,230
Has the jury
reached a verdict?

876
00:41:16,370 --> 00:41:18,390
Still no progress,
Your Honor.

877
00:41:18,470 --> 00:41:20,300
I'll send you back
one more time

878
00:41:20,370 --> 00:41:24,170
if you think
there's any chance of
reaching a unanimous verdict.

879
00:41:24,510 --> 00:41:25,770
I don't think so.

880
00:41:25,850 --> 00:41:28,080
People aren't budging.
We're deadlocked.

881
00:41:28,150 --> 00:41:32,210
Very well.
I have no choice then,
but to declare a mistrial.

882
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,280
I thank the jurors
for their service.

883
00:41:34,350 --> 00:41:36,690
The terms
of Mr. Johnson's
bail are continued

884
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,950
while the state decides
whether or not to retry
this case.

885
00:41:40,030 --> 00:41:41,190
We're adjourned.

886
00:41:47,300 --> 00:41:50,860
We're searching
the Caribbean to
rebut Johnson's perjury.

887
00:41:50,970 --> 00:41:54,200
Last we heard,
Shiner was either
in Anguilla or Antigua.

888
00:41:54,270 --> 00:41:58,270
Meanwhile, the producers
have made some changes
to <i>Larry Plus Ten.</i>

889
00:41:58,340 --> 00:42:00,740
They're moving his family
with the Septomom's

890
00:42:00,810 --> 00:42:02,610
into the same mansion
on Long Island.

891
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,480
Along with
a human lie detector.

892
00:42:04,550 --> 00:42:07,210
You know, one of those guys
who can tell if you're lying
by the way you blink.

893
00:42:07,290 --> 00:42:09,750
The idea is to have both
families compete for prizes,

894
00:42:09,820 --> 00:42:13,520
and to figure out which
head of household
murdered Joy Johnson.

895
00:42:13,690 --> 00:42:15,960
The television audience
gets to vote.

896
00:42:17,700 --> 00:42:20,760
And they've asked
Arthur Branch to
be the judge.

897
00:42:23,970 --> 00:42:25,370
You're kidding, right?
