1
00:00:00,459 --> 00:00:01,919
Narrator: In the
criminal justice system,
2
00:00:02,086 --> 00:00:04,338
the people are
represented by two separate
3
00:00:04,505 --> 00:00:06,048
yet equally important groups…
4
00:00:06,215 --> 00:00:07,925
The police who
investigate crime,
5
00:00:08,092 --> 00:00:10,928
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:11,095 --> 00:00:12,680
These are their stories.
7
00:00:21,689 --> 00:00:25,067
Man: I get home at midnight,
she wants to jump my bones.
8
00:00:25,234 --> 00:00:28,529
I want to sleep. She says I
don't pay enough attention.
9
00:00:28,696 --> 00:00:29,905
I don't love her.
10
00:00:30,072 --> 00:00:32,116
Ubi, give her a kiss,
tell her that she's
11
00:00:32,283 --> 00:00:34,201
the best thing that
ever happened to you.
12
00:00:34,368 --> 00:00:35,536
That'll shut her up.
13
00:00:46,464 --> 00:00:47,882
Check this out.
14
00:00:55,222 --> 00:00:57,641
Go! It lets out
on Spring Street.
15
00:01:24,627 --> 00:01:25,795
Cop: Hey…
16
00:01:25,961 --> 00:01:27,755
Huh…!
17
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,598
Damn.
18
00:01:46,899 --> 00:01:48,901
Who'd want to steal this stuff?
19
00:01:49,068 --> 00:01:51,445
Yeah, well, who'd
want to make it?
20
00:01:57,868 --> 00:01:59,203
Hey, Pooly…
21
00:02:01,997 --> 00:02:04,125
This one's real.
22
00:03:27,625 --> 00:03:29,919
Logan: No sign of forced entry.
23
00:03:30,085 --> 00:03:31,086
Max: ID?
24
00:03:31,253 --> 00:03:34,715
Lease says "Victor More."
Pays three grand a month.
25
00:03:34,882 --> 00:03:36,926
Premises rented for work only.
26
00:03:37,092 --> 00:03:38,677
Some work!
27
00:03:38,844 --> 00:03:41,889
If I did stuff like this,
I wouldn't advertise either.
28
00:03:42,056 --> 00:03:44,433
Look at her eyes.
29
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,435
They look like marbles, huh?
30
00:03:46,602 --> 00:03:49,897
She ain't half bad.
I'd take her out for coffee.
31
00:03:50,064 --> 00:03:52,691
He makes 'em,
dresses them up kinky,
32
00:03:52,858 --> 00:03:54,318
and then photographs them.
33
00:03:54,485 --> 00:03:56,237
Yo, Pooly!
34
00:03:56,403 --> 00:03:58,447
These two guys in
leather… Batman and Robin…
35
00:03:58,614 --> 00:03:59,949
You sure they came out of here?
36
00:04:00,115 --> 00:04:01,784
When they saw us, they ran.
37
00:04:01,951 --> 00:04:04,578
The camera was in the
lot, print on the steps.
38
00:04:06,830 --> 00:04:10,459
Whoa, this looks like the camera
was snapping while he died.
39
00:04:10,626 --> 00:04:13,337
Someone wanted a souvenir.
40
00:04:13,504 --> 00:04:15,130
That's sick!
41
00:04:15,297 --> 00:04:17,967
Well, you know what
the Bible says, Max,
42
00:04:18,133 --> 00:04:21,262
"As you sow…
So shall you reap."
43
00:04:21,428 --> 00:04:22,972
Nobody deserves to die.
44
00:04:26,267 --> 00:04:28,269
Woman: He hasn't
lived here for months.
45
00:04:28,435 --> 00:04:30,479
Just what exactly
are you looking for?
46
00:04:30,646 --> 00:04:31,981
Ma'am…
47
00:04:32,147 --> 00:04:34,483
We're just trying to
find out what happened.
48
00:04:34,650 --> 00:04:37,361
What happened is that
somebody killed my husband.
49
00:04:37,528 --> 00:04:39,989
Softball?
50
00:04:40,155 --> 00:04:43,075
The Soho Artists' League.
51
00:04:43,242 --> 00:04:45,035
Victor's a baseball fanatic.
52
00:04:45,202 --> 00:04:46,996
Me, too.
53
00:04:47,162 --> 00:04:49,832
Victor always said there were…
54
00:04:49,999 --> 00:04:52,960
Three ways you could tell
what somebody was like.
55
00:04:53,127 --> 00:04:54,753
"How they ran the bases,
56
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,839
the books they read,
57
00:04:57,006 --> 00:04:58,966
things they saved."
58
00:05:00,050 --> 00:05:01,552
"Frank's Diner"?
59
00:05:03,470 --> 00:05:04,847
Around the corner.
60
00:05:05,014 --> 00:05:06,890
Victor liked to sketch there.
61
00:05:07,057 --> 00:05:08,767
"Elaine's."
62
00:05:08,934 --> 00:05:11,645
My agent took us.
63
00:05:11,812 --> 00:05:14,148
"The Iron Bar"?
64
00:05:15,607 --> 00:05:17,443
Max: "The Iron Bar"?
65
00:05:21,155 --> 00:05:23,991
Bartender: The man
with the baseball cap?
66
00:05:24,158 --> 00:05:27,036
He's been in here
a couple of times.
67
00:05:28,704 --> 00:05:30,456
And last night?
68
00:05:31,832 --> 00:05:34,293
It's crowded. I just serve 'em.
69
00:05:35,377 --> 00:05:37,713
Maybe I'll walk
around the block,
70
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,840
maybe your memory'll get better.
71
00:05:42,384 --> 00:05:44,136
Or I'll get angrier.
72
00:05:44,303 --> 00:05:46,555
All right, all right, he
was here, all right?
73
00:05:46,722 --> 00:05:48,140
Hanging on some weird blonde.
74
00:05:48,307 --> 00:05:49,683
Weird what? Bleached, what?
75
00:05:49,850 --> 00:05:52,978
Weird like Marilyn
Monroe back from the dead,
76
00:05:53,145 --> 00:05:57,399
but 6'2", with these
blue-green stripes in her hair.
77
00:05:57,566 --> 00:05:59,943
Where might we find this lady?
78
00:06:00,110 --> 00:06:01,612
She works in a leather shop…
79
00:06:01,779 --> 00:06:04,281
The Erogenous Zone.
80
00:06:04,448 --> 00:06:07,409
In belts, you
want only alligator.
81
00:06:07,576 --> 00:06:09,328
In harnesses, saddle leather,
82
00:06:09,495 --> 00:06:10,996
like a good briefcase.
83
00:06:11,163 --> 00:06:12,414
Or a nightstick.
84
00:06:12,581 --> 00:06:14,249
You hang out at The Iron Bar?
85
00:06:14,416 --> 00:06:16,210
Those rough types aren't for me.
86
00:06:16,377 --> 00:06:19,213
My milieu, a place
called Best Friends…
87
00:06:19,380 --> 00:06:21,006
In the West Village.
88
00:06:21,173 --> 00:06:25,260
Gay preppies, the ones with
"Dartmouth" and "Yale" on their t-shirts.
89
00:06:25,427 --> 00:06:27,179
You were at The
Iron Bar last night.
90
00:06:27,346 --> 00:06:29,932
I wanted a club
soda, it was close.
91
00:06:30,099 --> 00:06:32,684
500 bucks?
92
00:06:32,851 --> 00:06:36,188
Newborn calf. Vat-tanned.
93
00:06:36,355 --> 00:06:38,982
We're the only store in
New York that carries it.
94
00:06:40,401 --> 00:06:42,611
Who buys this… stuff?
95
00:06:42,778 --> 00:06:44,947
That leather has no grain.
96
00:06:45,114 --> 00:06:47,199
It's like wearing skin.
97
00:06:47,366 --> 00:06:51,453
Reminds you the animal was once
alive, if you like that sort of thing.
98
00:06:51,620 --> 00:06:53,664
Did you leave with
Victor last night?
99
00:06:53,831 --> 00:06:55,332
I didn't know the man from Adam.
100
00:06:55,499 --> 00:06:57,918
He wasn't looking for me
anyway, he wanted Brian…
101
00:06:58,085 --> 00:06:59,920
Who used to belong to me.
102
00:07:01,046 --> 00:07:03,966
My father's gonna have a
stroke if my picture's in the paper.
103
00:07:04,133 --> 00:07:06,218
All right, Brian, come here.
104
00:07:06,385 --> 00:07:08,595
Get outta here, sit down.
105
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:12,015
Just tell us what happened.
106
00:07:12,182 --> 00:07:14,852
I was wearing a
leather jacket he liked.
107
00:07:15,018 --> 00:07:17,020
And…
108
00:07:17,187 --> 00:07:20,149
he asked me if I wanted to
be in a performance art work.
109
00:07:20,315 --> 00:07:21,817
Okay? So I was tempted.
110
00:07:21,984 --> 00:07:24,486
Your father would
have loved that.
111
00:07:24,653 --> 00:07:26,822
You get a little
adrenaline going.
112
00:07:26,989 --> 00:07:30,159
Like you… when you chase
some guy down a dark alley,
113
00:07:30,325 --> 00:07:33,036
and maybe he's got a
knife, maybe he's got a gun.
114
00:07:33,203 --> 00:07:35,164
And you never know
what's going to happen.
115
00:07:35,330 --> 00:07:36,999
You and me, we're a lot alike.
116
00:07:37,166 --> 00:07:39,501
You didn't leave
with Victor then?
117
00:07:40,544 --> 00:07:43,547
There was something…
something about him I didn't trust.
118
00:07:43,714 --> 00:07:45,382
Let me get this straight.
119
00:07:45,549 --> 00:07:47,718
You're asked out
on a date by a guy,
120
00:07:47,885 --> 00:07:51,513
who publishes pictures of people
hanging upside down in chains,
121
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,432
and you're tempted…
122
00:07:53,599 --> 00:07:56,101
But there's something
about him you don't trust?
123
00:07:56,268 --> 00:07:58,312
Yeah.
124
00:08:01,231 --> 00:08:02,065
Died of?
125
00:08:02,232 --> 00:08:05,194
Asphyxiation during a
state of sexual arousal.
126
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,613
You ever hear of anything
so damned stupid?
127
00:08:07,779 --> 00:08:09,740
Something must have gone wrong.
128
00:08:09,907 --> 00:08:11,909
Yeah… he died!
129
00:08:13,452 --> 00:08:15,746
So you're saying he
hung himself voluntarily?
130
00:08:15,913 --> 00:08:18,373
This gentleman played some…
131
00:08:18,540 --> 00:08:21,376
pretty dangerous
sports in his day…
132
00:08:21,543 --> 00:08:24,379
Burn scars, cuts,
133
00:08:24,546 --> 00:08:25,797
healed fractures.
134
00:08:25,964 --> 00:08:29,176
What's the official
cause of death?
135
00:08:29,343 --> 00:08:31,929
You can rule out natural causes.
136
00:08:32,095 --> 00:08:33,931
Cragen: "Artist Hangs…
137
00:08:34,097 --> 00:08:35,432
Not a Pretty Picture."
138
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:37,476
Great! This is great.
139
00:08:37,643 --> 00:08:40,854
"Dirty Pictures… Death Imitates
Art." And this is only the first day.
140
00:08:41,021 --> 00:08:42,606
What do you want
us to do about it?
141
00:08:42,773 --> 00:08:45,234
The case is boiling, I'd
like to turn the heat down!
142
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,236
Look, it sells as a suicide.
143
00:08:47,402 --> 00:08:49,404
Fine! Sold! Wrap it up.
144
00:08:49,571 --> 00:08:51,740
Damn it! What? What is it?
145
00:08:51,907 --> 00:08:53,825
The Polaroids.
Somebody else was there.
146
00:08:53,992 --> 00:08:57,204
Even if they didn't hang him, it's
still a crime to facilitate a suicide.
147
00:08:57,371 --> 00:08:59,498
Okay…
148
00:08:59,665 --> 00:09:01,041
go back to the wife,
149
00:09:01,208 --> 00:09:04,419
and see if Victor came home a
little banged up with no explanation.
150
00:09:04,586 --> 00:09:06,171
Logan: She doesn't have a clue.
151
00:09:06,338 --> 00:09:08,632
The guy's Jekyll and
Hyde. She married Jekyll.
152
00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:10,592
Take her through it again, Mike.
153
00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:14,137
People always know things they
don't think they know, ya know?
154
00:09:15,222 --> 00:09:17,099
Gimme a minute, huh?
155
00:09:25,107 --> 00:09:26,608
What is it?
156
00:09:26,775 --> 00:09:28,777
Take me off this one.
157
00:09:28,944 --> 00:09:30,445
Come on, Max! You know I…
158
00:09:30,612 --> 00:09:32,614
I'm burned out.
This thing disgusts me.
159
00:09:32,781 --> 00:09:34,408
This guy's pictures… porn!
160
00:09:34,575 --> 00:09:36,618
If that's art, Hugh
Hefner's Michelangelo.
161
00:09:36,785 --> 00:09:37,995
Max, a man is dead here.
162
00:09:38,161 --> 00:09:40,163
You're the one saying
it's not a suicide.
163
00:09:40,330 --> 00:09:43,292
What do you want me to do? Lie?
There was somebody else there.
164
00:09:43,458 --> 00:09:45,419
Chances are, living that life,
165
00:09:45,586 --> 00:09:47,546
he'll be dead in a
couple of years anyway.
166
00:09:47,713 --> 00:09:50,340
As far as I'm concerned,
he's going to the same place.
167
00:09:50,507 --> 00:09:52,426
What… what… What
are you talking about?
168
00:09:52,593 --> 00:09:54,344
I'm a Catholic.
169
00:09:54,511 --> 00:09:57,139
Maybe it's old-fashioned,
but I still believe in sin.
170
00:09:57,306 --> 00:10:00,309
Remember sin? Right and
wrong? I don't know if it's harps,
171
00:10:00,475 --> 00:10:02,603
or pearly gates,
but whatever it is,
172
00:10:02,769 --> 00:10:04,479
these freaks aren't going
173
00:10:04,646 --> 00:10:06,857
to the same place
you and I are. Okay?
174
00:10:07,024 --> 00:10:08,859
Wow.
175
00:10:09,026 --> 00:10:12,487
I can see this leading to a
whole new penalogical outlook…
176
00:10:12,654 --> 00:10:14,072
We will only pursue homicides
177
00:10:14,239 --> 00:10:16,325
where the vic died
in a state of grace.
178
00:10:16,491 --> 00:10:18,327
I'm not kidding about this.
179
00:10:18,493 --> 00:10:20,495
Neither am I.
180
00:10:20,662 --> 00:10:22,456
After 26 years in,
I gotta tell you it's not about
181
00:10:22,623 --> 00:10:24,916
the people involved in the
crime, it's about the crime.
182
00:10:25,083 --> 00:10:27,044
Yesterday…
183
00:10:27,210 --> 00:10:29,504
We walk into this
leather bar, high noon,
184
00:10:29,671 --> 00:10:31,590
the place still
reeks of stale sex.
185
00:10:31,757 --> 00:10:33,884
We're not talking about
beautiful people here…
186
00:10:34,051 --> 00:10:36,345
Request denied!
If somebody else was there,
187
00:10:36,511 --> 00:10:38,680
then you find them
and you charge them.
188
00:10:40,641 --> 00:10:42,434
I would start with the wife.
189
00:10:51,693 --> 00:10:53,528
Logan: Did he ever
come home hurt?
190
00:10:56,156 --> 00:10:57,991
I'm on the road a lot.
191
00:11:01,119 --> 00:11:03,038
Just in the last year…
192
00:11:03,205 --> 00:11:04,748
Things changed.
193
00:11:07,084 --> 00:11:08,710
He was mugged.
194
00:11:10,962 --> 00:11:12,381
Last August.
195
00:11:15,676 --> 00:11:17,177
Last April.
196
00:11:21,723 --> 00:11:23,809
Last November.
197
00:11:25,268 --> 00:11:27,020
He was mugged a lot.
198
00:11:28,772 --> 00:11:30,732
Married 15 years.
199
00:11:30,899 --> 00:11:33,485
She thinks he was
just taking pictures?
200
00:11:33,652 --> 00:11:37,614
Come on! Could you keep
secrets like that from your wife?
201
00:11:37,781 --> 00:11:39,825
Don't kid yourself.
202
00:11:39,991 --> 00:11:42,411
Everybody's got secrets.
203
00:11:42,577 --> 00:11:45,122
On the weekends,
204
00:11:45,288 --> 00:11:48,375
he picked me up and sometimes
we'd go out and have a nice day.
205
00:11:48,542 --> 00:11:51,086
Sintra, this is
Sergeant Greevey.
206
00:11:51,253 --> 00:11:54,589
This is Sintra More, Mr. More's
daughter by his first marriage.
207
00:11:54,756 --> 00:11:56,925
My father did not
commit suicide.
208
00:11:57,092 --> 00:11:58,719
Ms. More, I know it's…
209
00:11:58,885 --> 00:12:00,929
I grew up in my father's world.
210
00:12:01,096 --> 00:12:03,265
Yeah, Daddy was bisexual.
211
00:12:03,432 --> 00:12:05,142
Anyone that knew him knew that.
212
00:12:05,308 --> 00:12:07,894
But he never would
have committed suicide.
213
00:12:08,061 --> 00:12:10,480
This may not mean
anything to you,
214
00:12:10,647 --> 00:12:13,024
but he was my
father and I knew him.
215
00:12:13,191 --> 00:12:15,902
He was happy, very happy.
216
00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:18,780
He was excited
about the POPA show,
217
00:12:18,947 --> 00:12:21,074
but even if he had
been massively unhappy,
218
00:12:21,241 --> 00:12:23,326
he would never have
committed suicide.
219
00:12:23,493 --> 00:12:26,830
How do you know?
He was Catholic.
220
00:12:32,794 --> 00:12:35,088
Man: This is a very
sick picture, gentlemen.
221
00:12:35,255 --> 00:12:36,923
But it's a very good print.
222
00:12:37,090 --> 00:12:38,633
Forefinger, perfect.
223
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,513
- What else you got?
- Oval smudge on the back, could have been gloves.
224
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:46,475
So at some point, our
friend took one glove off.
225
00:12:46,641 --> 00:12:49,978
Must have. Oh, and the
guy had oil on his hand.
226
00:12:50,145 --> 00:12:52,481
Some kind of acidic base,
227
00:12:52,647 --> 00:12:54,191
lemon oil, maybe.
228
00:12:54,357 --> 00:12:57,569
Great. Now all we got to do is
print everyone who knew him.
229
00:12:59,613 --> 00:13:02,199
Victor had ConEd bills
like the national debt.
230
00:13:02,365 --> 00:13:04,034
Heh.
231
00:13:04,201 --> 00:13:07,829
Bought a Sam Cooke
collection… my taste in music.
232
00:13:09,748 --> 00:13:11,500
Armani suits!
233
00:13:11,666 --> 00:13:14,044
Not your taste in clothes.
234
00:13:14,211 --> 00:13:17,214
Gave to Big Brothers,
Save the Earth,
235
00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:21,593
World Education. Guy
had a social conscience.
236
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,929
That's the only kind
of conscience he had.
237
00:13:24,095 --> 00:13:26,890
Sent a check home every
month more than my salary.
238
00:13:31,311 --> 00:13:33,480
Good son, took care
of Mom and Dad.
239
00:13:33,647 --> 00:13:36,858
Hey, he should have
taken better care of himself.
240
00:13:38,401 --> 00:13:41,071
Whoa! Bill of sale
241
00:13:41,238 --> 00:13:43,740
for one of his pictures…
Dated yesterday.
242
00:13:43,907 --> 00:13:46,201
To be picked up
at his loft in the p.m.
243
00:13:46,368 --> 00:13:47,786
Name and address?
244
00:13:47,953 --> 00:13:50,747
Logan: 60 East 77th Street.
245
00:13:50,914 --> 00:13:53,542
Yes? Do I know you?
246
00:13:53,708 --> 00:13:54,918
Max: No, but I know you.
247
00:13:55,085 --> 00:13:58,213
Henry Rothman. The
Commissioner of Artistic Affairs.
248
00:13:58,380 --> 00:14:00,799
Sergeant Greevey,
Detective Logan.
249
00:14:00,966 --> 00:14:03,134
- How do you do?
- May we come in?
250
00:14:03,301 --> 00:14:05,387
You see this painting?
251
00:14:05,554 --> 00:14:08,765
I paid $3,000 for it
20 years ago.
252
00:14:08,932 --> 00:14:11,393
Now it's worth 30.
253
00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:13,311
That one over there,
254
00:14:13,478 --> 00:14:15,230
that's a Metzger.
255
00:14:15,397 --> 00:14:18,608
Got it for $1,000 in 1972,
256
00:14:18,775 --> 00:14:21,027
now it's worth 60.
257
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:24,447
That Zowa there, paid 10 grand,
258
00:14:24,614 --> 00:14:27,242
worth 70. The Victor
More, I paid $4,000.
259
00:14:27,409 --> 00:14:28,994
And 20 years from now?
260
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,954
Well, you know…
261
00:14:31,121 --> 00:14:32,789
you buy a good bottle of wine,
262
00:14:32,956 --> 00:14:34,332
you put it in the cellar
263
00:14:34,499 --> 00:14:36,459
and you hope it
doesn't turn to vinegar.
264
00:14:36,626 --> 00:14:38,169
Did you know Victor More well?
265
00:14:38,336 --> 00:14:40,797
No… cocktail parties,
gallery openings.
266
00:14:40,964 --> 00:14:42,382
I met him a few times.
267
00:14:42,549 --> 00:14:44,801
Did you pick up your
photograph yesterday?
268
00:14:44,968 --> 00:14:47,137
Stuck in a meeting,
couldn't break away.
269
00:14:47,304 --> 00:14:48,930
You better get it.
270
00:14:49,097 --> 00:14:50,849
He won't be taking
any more pictures,
271
00:14:51,016 --> 00:14:52,851
so you probably
doubled your money.
272
00:14:54,436 --> 00:14:55,979
Max: I don't know, Mike,
273
00:14:56,146 --> 00:14:58,273
when I was your age,
we had scandals, but…
274
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,150
Maybe the rich are different.
275
00:15:00,317 --> 00:15:02,694
They weren't weird like
this. Some jerk caught
276
00:15:02,861 --> 00:15:06,489
running around on his wife, some
chippie caught cheating on her old man.
277
00:15:06,656 --> 00:15:08,325
Nowadays… whoof!
278
00:15:08,491 --> 00:15:10,660
Yeah, like the guy
in Palm Beach…
279
00:15:10,827 --> 00:15:13,121
Had the wife who
did it with the trumpet.
280
00:15:16,458 --> 00:15:18,209
What do you do with a trumpet?
281
00:15:21,504 --> 00:15:25,091
In the middle ages,
artists painted Madonnas.
282
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:27,886
In the 19th century,
they painted water lilies.
283
00:15:28,053 --> 00:15:31,181
Andy Warhol signed a soup
can and sold it for a fortune.
284
00:15:31,348 --> 00:15:34,976
Artists paint what the
public has an appetite for.
285
00:15:35,143 --> 00:15:36,937
What about his private life?
286
00:15:37,103 --> 00:15:39,522
As far as I'm concerned,
Victor More was either
287
00:15:39,689 --> 00:15:42,525
a pornographer who got
lucky, or he was an opportunist
288
00:15:42,692 --> 00:15:44,361
who created for the market.
289
00:15:44,527 --> 00:15:45,862
Either way…
290
00:15:46,029 --> 00:15:47,530
he was no artist.
291
00:15:47,697 --> 00:15:50,492
How did he get lucky?
292
00:15:50,659 --> 00:15:52,786
Victor More had many talents.
293
00:15:52,953 --> 00:15:54,412
One of them was…
294
00:15:54,579 --> 00:15:56,831
photography. Another was…
295
00:15:56,998 --> 00:15:59,084
getting grants.
296
00:15:59,250 --> 00:16:01,878
Grants… from the city.
297
00:16:03,046 --> 00:16:06,007
That's my job. I decide
who gets your tax money,
298
00:16:06,174 --> 00:16:08,760
and mine, for artistic work.
299
00:16:08,927 --> 00:16:10,428
Mr. Rothman doesn't decide that?
300
00:16:10,595 --> 00:16:12,681
Oh, yes, Mr. Rothman
decides too.
301
00:16:12,847 --> 00:16:15,141
Mr. Rothman has
the final authority.
302
00:16:15,308 --> 00:16:19,229
The city gave a lot of
grants to Victor More.
303
00:16:19,396 --> 00:16:23,650
Don't ask me to explain
Mr. Rothman's taste… he has none.
304
00:16:23,817 --> 00:16:26,528
His decisions are arbitrary,
and have nothing to do with art.
305
00:16:26,695 --> 00:16:28,405
Ms. Swenson,
306
00:16:28,571 --> 00:16:31,408
didn't you approve these
grants? Your signature's on them.
307
00:16:31,574 --> 00:16:34,327
I approved them,
I didn't approve of them.
308
00:16:34,494 --> 00:16:36,246
Why did you sign them?
309
00:16:38,373 --> 00:16:40,250
Mr. Rothman is the commissioner.
310
00:16:40,417 --> 00:16:41,918
I work for the commissioner.
311
00:16:42,085 --> 00:16:45,046
I have to sign the forms or
they won't disburse the check.
312
00:16:45,213 --> 00:16:47,090
Does that make it clear?
313
00:16:47,257 --> 00:16:49,676
Mr. Rothman and
Mr. More, were they close?
314
00:16:49,843 --> 00:16:52,804
Financially, or… personally?
315
00:16:52,971 --> 00:16:55,348
Are you saying
that Mr. Rothman…
316
00:16:55,515 --> 00:16:57,475
I shouldn't engage in gossip.
317
00:17:01,646 --> 00:17:04,941
Three months
ago, this $50,000…
318
00:17:05,108 --> 00:17:08,319
That one… I registered
my disapproval in writing.
319
00:17:08,486 --> 00:17:10,447
Mr. Rothman overruled me.
320
00:17:10,613 --> 00:17:12,532
But at least Mr. More
didn't get the money.
321
00:17:12,699 --> 00:17:15,577
That $50,000 was an attempt
322
00:17:15,744 --> 00:17:17,620
to elevate Mr. More
out of the gutter.
323
00:17:17,787 --> 00:17:20,457
It's paying for a
show of his work
324
00:17:20,623 --> 00:17:22,167
at the Pavilion of Popular Art.
325
00:17:24,252 --> 00:17:25,962
Captain thinks he's
got a media problem.
326
00:17:26,129 --> 00:17:28,506
How about the commissioner
sleeping with the victim?
327
00:17:28,673 --> 00:17:30,967
Maybe she's got an axe to grind.
328
00:17:31,134 --> 00:17:33,428
Rothman's in a scandal,
329
00:17:33,595 --> 00:17:35,346
she gets made commissioner.
330
00:17:35,513 --> 00:17:39,267
Or maybe she just finds
him as disgusting as I do.
331
00:17:45,648 --> 00:17:47,317
You like this?
332
00:17:47,484 --> 00:17:49,235
One of our young
curators liked it,
333
00:17:49,402 --> 00:17:51,321
I think it's junk.
334
00:17:51,488 --> 00:17:53,198
And Victor More?
335
00:17:53,364 --> 00:17:55,450
His death didn't make
his pictures any better.
336
00:17:55,617 --> 00:17:57,494
But you're still gonna
give him a show?
337
00:17:57,660 --> 00:17:59,788
Let me explain something to you,
338
00:17:59,954 --> 00:18:01,664
that show is being put on
339
00:18:01,831 --> 00:18:03,917
because the city put
up part of the money,
340
00:18:04,084 --> 00:18:05,919
and the rest of it is coming
341
00:18:06,086 --> 00:18:07,879
from one of our private patrons.
342
00:18:08,046 --> 00:18:10,465
Let me take a guess…
Henry Rothman.
343
00:18:10,632 --> 00:18:12,509
Mr. Rothman could
hardly afford it.
344
00:18:12,675 --> 00:18:14,928
Elizabeth Hendrick.
345
00:18:15,095 --> 00:18:17,639
As in the Hendricks
who own the entire world?
346
00:18:18,723 --> 00:18:22,644
Would you do this show if Hendrick
and the city weren't paying for it?
347
00:18:22,811 --> 00:18:26,689
Detective, there is
no art without money.
348
00:18:29,275 --> 00:18:32,320
Max: Ms. Hendrick,
the circumstances
349
00:18:32,487 --> 00:18:34,197
of Victor More's death…
350
00:18:34,364 --> 00:18:36,241
don't you find that shocking?
351
00:18:36,407 --> 00:18:38,284
Van Gogh cut off his ear.
352
00:18:38,451 --> 00:18:42,664
Edvard Munch hung half
of his paintings in the woods,
353
00:18:42,831 --> 00:18:45,208
where they ended up rotting.
354
00:18:45,375 --> 00:18:48,044
Gauguin abandoned his
family and went to Tahiti.
355
00:18:49,212 --> 00:18:50,797
Art would be much more pleasant
356
00:18:50,964 --> 00:18:52,882
if we didn't have
to deal with artists.
357
00:18:55,176 --> 00:18:58,847
Did you know Mr. More
or… his friends?
358
00:18:59,013 --> 00:19:01,349
I understand Mr. More
was a private person…
359
00:19:01,516 --> 00:19:03,434
Reclusive.
360
00:19:03,601 --> 00:19:06,396
You seem surprised
that I'm not shocked.
361
00:19:06,563 --> 00:19:08,690
I'm surprised you are.
362
00:19:08,857 --> 00:19:11,401
You have to deal with…
363
00:19:11,568 --> 00:19:14,404
what do the newspapers
call it… "sleaze"
364
00:19:14,571 --> 00:19:16,156
all the time.
365
00:19:16,322 --> 00:19:19,659
The sleaze we deal with doesn't
usually end up hanging in a museum.
366
00:19:21,161 --> 00:19:23,288
Victor More was a good artist.
367
00:19:23,454 --> 00:19:25,999
Would I want to sit
down to dinner with him?
368
00:19:26,166 --> 00:19:28,126
No.
369
00:19:28,293 --> 00:19:30,128
I'm sorry.
370
00:19:30,295 --> 00:19:34,424
I am late for a meeting,
so if there's nothing else…
371
00:19:38,094 --> 00:19:40,555
Logan: You've never
carried these with gold chain?
372
00:19:40,722 --> 00:19:42,390
We might have.
373
00:19:42,557 --> 00:19:45,435
And you don't know
Elizabeth Hendrick?
374
00:19:45,602 --> 00:19:48,438
The customer's
don't wear name tags.
375
00:19:48,605 --> 00:19:50,148
I just take their money.
376
00:19:50,315 --> 00:19:52,942
Mike, I must be crazy, but
why do I think Cathy knows
377
00:19:53,109 --> 00:19:55,111
exactly who
Elizabeth Hendrick is?
378
00:19:55,278 --> 00:19:58,448
And I might be crazy, but I think
a lot of the respectable citizens
379
00:19:58,615 --> 00:20:00,742
that come and buy this
sicko stuff might decide
380
00:20:00,909 --> 00:20:03,786
they didn't need it if we
put a police cruiser out front.
381
00:20:06,122 --> 00:20:08,625
I think Elizabeth Hendrick
382
00:20:08,791 --> 00:20:10,210
might have been in
here once or twice.
383
00:20:10,376 --> 00:20:13,129
Or more. Yes, maybe.
384
00:20:13,296 --> 00:20:16,299
Maybe three or four times.
385
00:20:16,466 --> 00:20:19,302
I have received over 100
phone calls in the last hour.
386
00:20:19,469 --> 00:20:21,721
A commissioner is being
dragged through the mud,
387
00:20:21,888 --> 00:20:24,849
and it looks like we're responsible.
I hope you have something!
388
00:20:25,016 --> 00:20:27,518
It gets worse.
389
00:20:27,685 --> 00:20:29,479
How can it get worse?
390
00:20:29,646 --> 00:20:33,566
What would you say if I told you
Elizabeth Hendrick is connected to this?
391
00:20:33,733 --> 00:20:35,360
That's worse.
392
00:20:35,526 --> 00:20:38,738
Logan: Doesn't everybody who
works for the city get printed?
393
00:20:38,905 --> 00:20:40,949
You do… commissioners don't.
394
00:20:41,115 --> 00:20:43,159
Find Rothman's prints somewhere.
395
00:20:43,326 --> 00:20:45,328
See if he was in the
army… or something.
396
00:20:45,495 --> 00:20:46,829
What about Hendrick?
397
00:20:46,996 --> 00:20:48,790
Unless she served
on a grand jury
398
00:20:48,957 --> 00:20:51,125
or applied for a gun
license, good luck.
399
00:20:54,671 --> 00:20:57,048
Rothman: Are you telling me
400
00:20:57,215 --> 00:20:58,591
that I am a suspect in
the murder of Victor More?
401
00:20:58,758 --> 00:21:00,885
Yes, sir. You are.
402
00:21:01,052 --> 00:21:03,346
Could you tell us where
you were that night?
403
00:21:03,513 --> 00:21:05,807
Look, I, uh…
404
00:21:05,974 --> 00:21:08,309
I have a wife and
three children.
405
00:21:08,476 --> 00:21:10,728
I have a wife and
three children myself.
406
00:21:10,895 --> 00:21:13,898
Then you'll realize
why I'd prefer it
407
00:21:14,065 --> 00:21:16,317
if where I was that night
didn't become public.
408
00:21:16,484 --> 00:21:18,403
Can't guarantee that.
409
00:21:24,325 --> 00:21:27,787
I was with another woman
the night Victor More died.
410
00:21:30,331 --> 00:21:32,542
Elizabeth Hendrick.
411
00:21:34,210 --> 00:21:36,045
I was home alone that night.
412
00:21:36,212 --> 00:21:38,798
You didn't see Henry Rothman
at any time?
413
00:21:40,049 --> 00:21:43,636
You're not suggesting that I'm
having an affair with Mr. Rothman?
414
00:21:43,803 --> 00:21:47,640
Actually, Mr. Rothman
suggested…
415
00:21:47,807 --> 00:21:50,184
Detective, I went to
bed early that night…
416
00:21:50,351 --> 00:21:51,853
Alone.
417
00:21:54,814 --> 00:21:57,066
Boy, oh boy, they are
really letting Rothman
418
00:21:57,233 --> 00:21:58,818
swing in the wind.
419
00:21:58,985 --> 00:22:01,612
He says he was with Hendrick,
she says she was alone,
420
00:22:01,779 --> 00:22:03,156
neither alibi works.
421
00:22:03,323 --> 00:22:05,908
So maybe they're both
innocent? Or both guilty.
422
00:22:06,075 --> 00:22:08,036
We put one of them
in the room with More,
423
00:22:08,202 --> 00:22:10,079
the DA will go for
manslaughter one.
424
00:22:10,246 --> 00:22:12,165
All the DA wants is
a signed confession.
425
00:22:12,332 --> 00:22:14,167
The DA needs…
426
00:22:14,334 --> 00:22:15,752
Cragen!
427
00:22:15,918 --> 00:22:17,295
Yes.
428
00:22:17,462 --> 00:22:20,590
Uh-huh.
429
00:22:20,757 --> 00:22:22,550
Uh-huh.
430
00:22:23,926 --> 00:22:26,304
Hendrick's print doesn't
match, Rothman's does.
431
00:22:28,097 --> 00:22:31,893
I think it's time we paid Mr. Rothman a
visit and read him his rights, gentlemen.
432
00:22:36,439 --> 00:22:38,024
Max: Commissioner Rothman?
433
00:22:40,276 --> 00:22:42,487
Uh, honey, excuse me a second.
434
00:22:42,653 --> 00:22:44,864
We're late for the theater.
435
00:22:45,031 --> 00:22:48,910
Sir, if we could just have
a moment of your time.
436
00:22:49,077 --> 00:22:50,536
Yeah… go on, go on.
437
00:22:50,703 --> 00:22:51,871
What for?
438
00:22:52,038 --> 00:22:53,664
We have a warrant, Mr. Rothman.
439
00:22:53,831 --> 00:22:55,958
Woman: A warrant?!
440
00:22:56,125 --> 00:22:57,377
Listen to me.
441
00:22:57,543 --> 00:22:59,754
Just come away with us.
442
00:22:59,921 --> 00:23:01,464
Don't make me have to cuff you
443
00:23:01,631 --> 00:23:04,092
and read you your
rights in front of your kids.
444
00:23:11,974 --> 00:23:13,476
Just a minute.
445
00:23:16,813 --> 00:23:18,940
Look, I'll catch up with
you at intermission.
446
00:23:19,107 --> 00:23:20,817
Go on. It's nothing.
447
00:23:20,983 --> 00:23:22,610
It's a mistake.
448
00:23:35,123 --> 00:23:38,084
The charge is manslaughter
in the first degree.
449
00:23:38,251 --> 00:23:40,420
How does the defendant plead?
450
00:23:40,586 --> 00:23:42,672
The defendant pleads
not guilty, Your Honor.
451
00:23:42,839 --> 00:23:44,924
The defense makes a
motion that the defendant
452
00:23:45,091 --> 00:23:46,592
be set free on his
own recognizance.
453
00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:48,428
Your Honor, if it
pleases the court…
454
00:23:48,594 --> 00:23:50,596
Just a minute, Mr. Stone,
she isn't finished.
455
00:23:50,763 --> 00:23:52,348
Go ahead, Ms. Stohlmeyer.
456
00:23:52,515 --> 00:23:54,934
Your Honor, my client
has no criminal record.
457
00:23:55,101 --> 00:23:56,769
He has obvious ties
to the community.
458
00:23:56,936 --> 00:23:59,272
He's a respected
and distinguished man.
459
00:23:59,439 --> 00:24:02,233
Your Honor, this is a
homicide of a gruesome kind.
460
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,111
Prosecution feels
that bail is essential.
461
00:24:05,278 --> 00:24:07,196
We recommend $100,000.
462
00:24:09,282 --> 00:24:13,035
Your Honor, my client
presents no risk of flight.
463
00:24:13,202 --> 00:24:15,496
$100,000 is ridiculous.
464
00:24:15,663 --> 00:24:18,416
Mr. Stone's recommendation
is a little high,
465
00:24:18,583 --> 00:24:20,376
but this is a homicide.
466
00:24:21,461 --> 00:24:23,754
Bail is set at $50,000.
467
00:24:26,632 --> 00:24:29,802
Are you deliberately trying
to make this unpleasant?
468
00:24:29,969 --> 00:24:33,347
We trained you pretty well.
How do you like it on the other side?
469
00:24:33,514 --> 00:24:35,308
The pay is better.
470
00:24:35,475 --> 00:24:36,976
Is that your problem?
471
00:24:37,143 --> 00:24:39,228
I just don't like the class
of client you chose…
472
00:24:39,395 --> 00:24:42,023
Murderers, drug dealers.
You should be more discriminating.
473
00:24:42,190 --> 00:24:43,983
And you should be
more discriminating
474
00:24:44,150 --> 00:24:47,153
filing manslaughter one charges.
You haven't got a case, Ben.
475
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,197
That fingerprint could have been
476
00:24:49,363 --> 00:24:51,491
on that Polaroid
months before More died.
477
00:24:51,657 --> 00:24:54,452
You can get a grand jury
to indict a ham sandwich.
478
00:24:54,619 --> 00:24:56,412
If you indict
Rothman, you're crazy.
479
00:24:58,706 --> 00:25:02,043
Erica, your client's alibi has
been refuted by his alibi witness.
480
00:25:02,210 --> 00:25:04,837
Elizabeth Hendrick
has made a mistake.
481
00:25:05,004 --> 00:25:06,756
I assure you
she'll tell the truth.
482
00:25:08,633 --> 00:25:11,260
Erica will argue that More
consented to being tortured.
483
00:25:11,427 --> 00:25:14,013
She can just about prove
that he liked being beaten up,
484
00:25:14,180 --> 00:25:15,765
but I can work around that.
485
00:25:15,932 --> 00:25:18,768
You can consent to being tortured,
but you can't consent to murder.
486
00:25:18,935 --> 00:25:20,811
You still have to prove intent.
487
00:25:20,978 --> 00:25:23,356
Do we know that Rothman
wanted to hurt him?
488
00:25:23,523 --> 00:25:25,191
We will.
489
00:25:25,358 --> 00:25:27,401
Rothman absolutely at
the scene? Fingerprint?
490
00:25:27,568 --> 00:25:28,736
Polaroids are identical,
491
00:25:28,903 --> 00:25:32,156
practically down to the shadows of
the ones the police photographers took.
492
00:25:32,323 --> 00:25:35,868
That'll fly. I just want to
be clear about one thing.
493
00:25:36,035 --> 00:25:38,829
I don't care what
consenting adults
494
00:25:38,996 --> 00:25:41,040
do in their bedrooms
or elsewhere.
495
00:25:41,207 --> 00:25:43,292
That's their business.
496
00:25:43,459 --> 00:25:45,378
But Rothman's a public figure.
497
00:25:45,545 --> 00:25:48,214
He's a role model.
498
00:25:48,381 --> 00:25:51,259
He has an obligation
not to behave like this.
499
00:25:52,552 --> 00:25:54,220
And Hendrick,
500
00:25:54,387 --> 00:25:56,514
if she's involved, go after her.
501
00:25:56,681 --> 00:25:59,225
I don't want even a hint of a
double standard for the rich.
502
00:25:59,392 --> 00:26:01,936
We've got to put Rothman at
the scene more convincingly.
503
00:26:02,103 --> 00:26:03,854
Go back over the evidence.
504
00:26:04,021 --> 00:26:07,108
Tear his life apart until
something turns up.
505
00:26:12,154 --> 00:26:15,449
The medical examiner's report
says there was oil on the victim's body.
506
00:26:15,616 --> 00:26:18,995
Can you match it to the oil in
the fingerprint on the photograph?
507
00:26:19,161 --> 00:26:20,871
I get it… you want
to put the body
508
00:26:21,038 --> 00:26:23,040
and the photograph
in the same timeframe.
509
00:26:23,207 --> 00:26:26,252
If the hand touched
his body and the picture,
510
00:26:26,419 --> 00:26:28,754
it means the picture was
taken the night he died.
511
00:26:28,921 --> 00:26:30,256
That's right.
512
00:26:30,423 --> 00:26:33,467
We're working with small amounts,
I don't want to damage the print.
513
00:26:33,634 --> 00:26:35,303
Can you do it?
514
00:26:35,469 --> 00:26:37,680
Ask me tomorrow.
515
00:26:37,847 --> 00:26:41,142
The tox scan is negative.
No heroin, no coke,
516
00:26:41,309 --> 00:26:42,852
no codeine, nothing.
517
00:26:43,019 --> 00:26:45,980
Run another tox scan.
See if you can find…
518
00:26:46,147 --> 00:26:48,941
Whoa, whoa! Who's
paying for this?
519
00:26:49,108 --> 00:26:51,944
It's a homicide investigation.
Stone'll approve it.
520
00:26:52,111 --> 00:26:54,989
The man hanged himself. Does
it matter what he had in his blood?
521
00:26:55,156 --> 00:26:57,116
It matters.
522
00:26:57,283 --> 00:26:59,410
What are we looking for?
523
00:26:59,577 --> 00:27:00,578
Synthetics…
524
00:27:00,745 --> 00:27:02,663
MDA, speed, methaqualone.
525
00:27:02,830 --> 00:27:05,416
Exactly what I'd take if I
were going to hang myself.
526
00:27:08,294 --> 00:27:10,171
There's no case here, Ben.
527
00:27:10,338 --> 00:27:13,507
My client is not compelled to rescue
somebody who's risking his own life.
528
00:27:13,674 --> 00:27:16,802
That's one way of looking at it,
I think he's guilty of manslaughter.
529
00:27:16,969 --> 00:27:19,055
Then why do you want
him in front of a grand jury?
530
00:27:19,221 --> 00:27:21,015
I want to know what happened.
531
00:27:21,182 --> 00:27:22,642
Grant him immunity,
532
00:27:22,808 --> 00:27:24,852
and he'll testify
against Hendrick.
533
00:27:25,019 --> 00:27:27,772
If he pleads to manslaughter
one, that's discussable.
534
00:27:27,938 --> 00:27:30,358
You can't convict him
of manslaughter one!
535
00:27:31,984 --> 00:27:34,028
That's what juries
are for, Erica,
536
00:27:34,195 --> 00:27:36,656
to decide which
one of us is right.
537
00:27:39,492 --> 00:27:41,243
I'll talk to my client.
538
00:27:42,828 --> 00:27:45,164
The commissioner
always treated me fine.
539
00:27:45,331 --> 00:27:46,707
He's a fine gentleman.
540
00:27:46,874 --> 00:27:49,085
He never had an
appointment with Victor More?
541
00:27:49,251 --> 00:27:51,837
I keep his appointment book.
542
00:27:53,506 --> 00:27:55,508
You've worked for
other city agencies?
543
00:27:55,675 --> 00:27:58,511
I was secretary to
deputy commissioners.
544
00:27:58,678 --> 00:28:01,514
And Commissioner Rothman
never did anything out of the ordinary?
545
00:28:03,683 --> 00:28:06,352
He has these long phone calls,
546
00:28:06,519 --> 00:28:09,730
and sometimes I couldn't
get him off to go to meetings.
547
00:28:09,897 --> 00:28:13,150
He'd talk right through
them, an hour, hour and a half.
548
00:28:14,568 --> 00:28:17,405
And when he came out,
he'd be all pale and sweaty.
549
00:28:20,866 --> 00:28:23,494
The local usage details
for Rothman's home phone
550
00:28:23,661 --> 00:28:25,871
have dozens of long
calls to Hendrick.
551
00:28:26,038 --> 00:28:28,374
On the weekend, four,
five, six times a day.
552
00:28:28,541 --> 00:28:30,418
Hers have as many calls to him.
553
00:28:30,584 --> 00:28:33,796
- The night of the murder?
- A call from Rothman to Victor More.
554
00:28:33,963 --> 00:28:36,048
What the hell were
Hendrick and Rothman
555
00:28:36,215 --> 00:28:37,967
talking about the
rest of the time?
556
00:28:38,134 --> 00:28:41,387
You are only going to indict
because he's being hung in the press!
557
00:28:41,554 --> 00:28:44,932
Stone: Somebody got very
careless here with a human life, Erica.
558
00:28:45,099 --> 00:28:46,559
Your client still has no alibi,
559
00:28:46,726 --> 00:28:49,103
Hendrick hasn't budged.
She never even saw him.
560
00:28:50,396 --> 00:28:52,940
You want to tell us about
your relationship with her?
561
00:28:53,107 --> 00:28:55,192
Maybe we can help
her change her mind.
562
00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:57,903
I have nothing to say
about Ms. Hendrick.
563
00:28:59,029 --> 00:29:01,657
Commissioner, you know what
our prisons are like these days?
564
00:29:01,824 --> 00:29:05,202
You're going to be in one for a
long time. You want to go alone?
565
00:29:08,706 --> 00:29:11,000
Ms. Hendrick will
do the right thing.
566
00:29:14,086 --> 00:29:16,130
Let's go, Henry.
567
00:29:23,929 --> 00:29:25,639
Judge Fadenhecht?
568
00:29:25,806 --> 00:29:28,100
Judge Fadenhecht, Your Honor?
569
00:29:28,267 --> 00:29:30,394
I hope this is
important, Mr. Stone.
570
00:29:30,561 --> 00:29:31,896
I need a tap warrant.
571
00:29:32,062 --> 00:29:34,190
Anybody going to put my
ass in a sling if I say yes?
572
00:29:34,356 --> 00:29:37,568
You got cause? Rock
solid, Your Honor.
573
00:29:39,737 --> 00:29:41,572
Phone my office.
574
00:29:44,825 --> 00:29:47,453
Rothman's voice: Elizabeth,
I need your protection.
575
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:49,330
You have to tell…
Hendrick: Henry!
576
00:29:49,497 --> 00:29:52,792
You do exactly what I tell you.
577
00:29:52,958 --> 00:29:55,628
Yes, Elizabeth,
whatever you say.
578
00:29:55,795 --> 00:29:57,338
First, Henry, keep
your mouth shut!
579
00:29:57,505 --> 00:30:01,091
Especially with that
moron lawyer of yours.
580
00:30:01,258 --> 00:30:03,636
Second, don't talk
to the prosecutors.
581
00:30:03,803 --> 00:30:06,180
Third, don't call me!
Do you understand?
582
00:30:06,347 --> 00:30:07,890
Yes. Yes, what?
583
00:30:08,057 --> 00:30:10,851
Yes, Elizabeth, I understand.
584
00:30:14,855 --> 00:30:16,857
Sure sounds like she
could have been with him.
585
00:30:17,024 --> 00:30:19,151
And it sounds
like he's her slave.
586
00:30:19,318 --> 00:30:20,986
Literally.
587
00:30:21,153 --> 00:30:22,822
Adam:: If she's into this scene,
588
00:30:22,988 --> 00:30:25,032
if she is the dominant one,
589
00:30:25,199 --> 00:30:27,451
what was going on that night?
590
00:30:29,703 --> 00:30:31,664
Woman: Every
relationship, Mr. Stone…
591
00:30:31,831 --> 00:30:34,500
Work, at home with
your wife and kids…
592
00:30:34,667 --> 00:30:37,211
Every relationship
is about power.
593
00:30:37,378 --> 00:30:40,005
But I don't beat
people up for kicks.
594
00:30:41,257 --> 00:30:45,052
A dominatrix, a woman who plays the
dominant role in a sexual relationship,
595
00:30:45,219 --> 00:30:48,180
would she play the same
role in another situation?
596
00:30:48,347 --> 00:30:50,766
Not a sexual one,
but one that was…
597
00:30:50,933 --> 00:30:52,768
emotionally charged?
598
00:30:52,935 --> 00:30:55,980
It's learned behavior,
operant conditioning.
599
00:30:56,146 --> 00:30:59,400
Press the right button,
you get the right response.
600
00:30:59,567 --> 00:31:02,736
The question is,
finding the button.
601
00:31:04,613 --> 00:31:08,242
Forensics says the oil on the Polaroid
fingerprint is the same as on the body.
602
00:31:08,409 --> 00:31:11,203
That ought to establish the
picture was taken when More died.
603
00:31:12,538 --> 00:31:14,874
This is gonna be a pleasure.
604
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,042
Adam, new tox report.
605
00:31:17,209 --> 00:31:20,045
Victor had
methaqualone in his blood.
606
00:31:20,212 --> 00:31:22,006
Probably black market from Goa.
607
00:31:22,172 --> 00:31:23,799
If he was on 'ludes,
608
00:31:23,966 --> 00:31:27,386
diminished mental capacity. He
was in no condition to protect himself.
609
00:31:27,553 --> 00:31:29,972
Time to put a little pressure
on the commissioner.
610
00:31:30,139 --> 00:31:33,183
Why not on Hendrick? She was
the one in charge, he's the weak one.
611
00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:35,394
Because the only pressure
on Hendrick is Rothman.
612
00:31:35,561 --> 00:31:37,646
That doesn't seem right.
613
00:31:37,813 --> 00:31:40,816
Paul, we have one murderer
we can indict by a hair,
614
00:31:40,983 --> 00:31:42,735
and another one
we're not even near.
615
00:31:42,902 --> 00:31:45,738
Something's gotta give. It's going
to be Commissioner Rothman.
616
00:31:47,448 --> 00:31:49,742
Ben… you ready to make a deal?
617
00:31:49,909 --> 00:31:51,869
You're not going to like it.
618
00:31:52,036 --> 00:31:55,539
I'm going to indict your
client for manslaughter one.
619
00:31:57,041 --> 00:31:59,627
Unless you have something
I don't know about…
620
00:32:01,170 --> 00:32:03,047
Do I have to file a
discovery motion?
621
00:32:03,213 --> 00:32:05,424
Victor More had
methaqualone in his blood.
622
00:32:05,591 --> 00:32:07,217
A jury is not going to believe
623
00:32:07,384 --> 00:32:09,762
that he had the capacity
to protect himself.
624
00:32:09,929 --> 00:32:12,848
Nobody intended
to kill Victor More.
625
00:32:13,015 --> 00:32:15,351
You have to prove
intent and you can't.
626
00:32:19,980 --> 00:32:21,982
Have a seat, Mr. Rothman.
627
00:32:22,149 --> 00:32:25,402
We were just discussing your state of
mind the night you killed Victor More.
628
00:32:26,654 --> 00:32:28,614
I thought we were
here to make a deal.
629
00:32:28,781 --> 00:32:31,367
Sit down, Henry, and
don't say anything.
630
00:32:32,660 --> 00:32:35,788
No matter what you think my
client was doing with Victor More,
631
00:32:35,955 --> 00:32:38,749
this was a guy who begged
to be hurt as part of the game.
632
00:32:38,916 --> 00:32:41,126
He was a masochist.
He didn't beg to die.
633
00:32:41,293 --> 00:32:43,587
I'll tell you what I'm
going to tell the jury…
634
00:32:43,754 --> 00:32:45,422
If there ever is one…
635
00:32:45,589 --> 00:32:48,884
Victor More committed
suicide. You can't prove he didn't.
636
00:32:50,803 --> 00:32:52,763
Try me.
637
00:32:59,561 --> 00:33:02,564
Criminally negligent homicide…
He serves three months maximum.
638
00:33:02,731 --> 00:33:05,109
We stay with manslaughter one.
639
00:33:05,275 --> 00:33:07,027
Your client waives immunity,
640
00:33:07,194 --> 00:33:10,364
I'll recommend a minimum
sentence if he rolls on Hendrick.
641
00:33:10,531 --> 00:33:12,783
He's insignificant. He's a cog.
642
00:33:12,950 --> 00:33:14,785
She ordered him
to do what he did.
643
00:33:14,952 --> 00:33:17,204
His mistake is he still
thinks she can help him.
644
00:33:17,371 --> 00:33:20,666
I'm in charge here.
I'll crush your client.
645
00:33:20,833 --> 00:33:24,169
We're not talking dirty
pictures, we're talking death.
646
00:33:24,336 --> 00:33:26,797
A crime has been committed
and the guilty will pay.
647
00:33:26,964 --> 00:33:29,008
Does he want the deal or not?
648
00:33:31,677 --> 00:33:33,220
Forget it.
649
00:33:38,392 --> 00:33:40,477
I forgot it. No deal.
650
00:33:40,644 --> 00:33:43,313
Wait a minute, wait a minute!
651
00:33:48,318 --> 00:33:49,987
It wasn't me.
652
00:33:50,154 --> 00:33:51,822
She did order me to do it.
653
00:33:51,989 --> 00:33:53,741
I wanted to save him.
654
00:33:53,907 --> 00:33:55,993
She wouldn't let me.
655
00:33:58,746 --> 00:34:01,081
I guess you get your deal.
656
00:34:07,379 --> 00:34:10,257
We have court-ordered
permission to search the premises.
657
00:34:10,424 --> 00:34:12,134
This warrant covers
your apartment,
658
00:34:12,301 --> 00:34:15,596
your car and all your
personal possessions.
659
00:34:15,763 --> 00:34:18,098
Would you like some coffee?
660
00:34:18,265 --> 00:34:19,933
Robinette: Ben!
661
00:34:21,727 --> 00:34:24,646
Yeah? Looks like
black market 'ludes.
662
00:34:24,813 --> 00:34:27,191
Maybe the same kind
they found in Victor.
663
00:34:27,357 --> 00:34:29,568
Man: Mr. Stone!
664
00:34:31,570 --> 00:34:33,363
This is locked.
665
00:34:34,448 --> 00:34:36,366
You have the key?
666
00:34:43,916 --> 00:34:46,043
It's my hope chest.
667
00:34:52,091 --> 00:34:54,259
What were you hoping for?
668
00:34:57,429 --> 00:34:59,932
You have three
consenting adults,
669
00:35:00,099 --> 00:35:03,769
consenting to certain activities
and games and one of them dies.
670
00:35:03,936 --> 00:35:05,771
Who is responsible?
671
00:35:05,938 --> 00:35:07,356
You think Hendrick is.
672
00:35:07,523 --> 00:35:10,400
And all I have is the uncorroborated
testimony of an accomplice.
673
00:35:10,567 --> 00:35:12,569
I think in Albania that
gets you a conviction.
674
00:35:12,736 --> 00:35:15,614
What about the pills? Tough.
675
00:35:15,781 --> 00:35:17,533
If they're chemically
the same, if an
676
00:35:17,699 --> 00:35:19,827
expert witness doesn't
knock the toxicology,
677
00:35:19,993 --> 00:35:21,620
"circumstantial"
isn't the word…
678
00:35:21,787 --> 00:35:23,622
Try, the jury laughs
on the way out.
679
00:35:23,789 --> 00:35:26,500
No law against
owning a leather jacket.
680
00:35:26,667 --> 00:35:29,461
There might be one against
what you do when you're wearing it.
681
00:35:29,628 --> 00:35:32,881
Okay! So I sold Ms.
Hendrick the leather, so what?
682
00:35:33,048 --> 00:35:34,591
Ever hang out with her?
683
00:35:34,758 --> 00:35:36,677
Is that a joke?
684
00:35:36,844 --> 00:35:38,846
How well do you know
Elizabeth Hendrick?
685
00:35:39,012 --> 00:35:41,140
Look, I…
686
00:35:41,306 --> 00:35:44,017
Don't get close
to the customers.
687
00:35:44,184 --> 00:35:46,895
They're all playing
with 51 cards.
688
00:35:47,062 --> 00:35:50,941
Cathy, a man is
dead. It's about murder.
689
00:35:54,194 --> 00:35:56,071
There's a couple of clubs,
690
00:35:56,238 --> 00:35:59,658
one where a lot
of rich people go.
691
00:35:59,825 --> 00:36:02,286
It's Club X.
692
00:36:10,210 --> 00:36:12,004
You've got some
Amazon blonde freak
693
00:36:12,171 --> 00:36:14,173
who says this Hendricks
person was here?
694
00:36:14,339 --> 00:36:16,592
And you… I say, get
the hell out of my club.
695
00:36:16,758 --> 00:36:19,511
I'll be back with a subpoena.
696
00:36:28,061 --> 00:36:30,063
I can't discuss my customers.
697
00:36:30,230 --> 00:36:33,192
It's like doctor-patient
confidentiality.
698
00:36:33,358 --> 00:36:36,195
Mr. Celine, as legal
advisor to the grand jury,
699
00:36:36,361 --> 00:36:38,572
I advise you that the law
of the State of New York
700
00:36:38,739 --> 00:36:41,158
recognizes no such
privilege and confidentiality,
701
00:36:41,325 --> 00:36:43,535
and I direct you, sir,
to answer the question.
702
00:36:44,870 --> 00:36:46,538
I run the place,
703
00:36:46,705 --> 00:36:49,041
I'm not responsible
for what goes on in it.
704
00:36:50,375 --> 00:36:52,461
You are here under
subpoena and under oath.
705
00:36:52,628 --> 00:36:55,005
You will answer the
questions or you will go to jail.
706
00:36:55,172 --> 00:36:57,299
Your own attorney
will verify that for you.
707
00:36:57,466 --> 00:36:59,259
Therefore, I ask you again, sir,
708
00:36:59,426 --> 00:37:02,554
was Elizabeth Hendricks a
dues-paying member of your club?
709
00:37:04,973 --> 00:37:07,226
She was a member. She paid dues.
710
00:37:07,392 --> 00:37:09,228
What did she do when
she came to your club?
711
00:37:09,394 --> 00:37:11,271
She…
712
00:37:12,940 --> 00:37:14,858
She liked to have slaves.
713
00:37:15,025 --> 00:37:17,152
What did she do with her slaves?
714
00:37:18,570 --> 00:37:21,740
She liked to watch things…
get a little out of control.
715
00:37:23,575 --> 00:37:25,702
How out of control, Mr. Celine?
716
00:37:27,204 --> 00:37:29,414
Last month, she
had this slave…
717
00:37:30,958 --> 00:37:33,210
And it got crazy.
718
00:37:33,377 --> 00:37:35,420
Damn near killed the kid.
719
00:37:35,587 --> 00:37:38,674
Gary… Gary something.
720
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,176
Pardee!
721
00:37:41,343 --> 00:37:43,553
Gary Pardee.
722
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:46,932
Gary… you got hurt.
723
00:37:47,099 --> 00:37:48,934
It's our business
if people get hurt.
724
00:37:49,101 --> 00:37:51,395
Who actually hit you?
725
00:37:51,561 --> 00:37:52,896
It was Rothman.
726
00:37:53,063 --> 00:37:55,274
She told him to
do it, but it just went
727
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,401
a little further than
it was supposed to.
728
00:37:57,567 --> 00:37:59,569
Why didn't you press charges?
729
00:37:59,736 --> 00:38:03,490
What does that make
me look like? I agreed to it.
730
00:38:03,657 --> 00:38:07,786
It was probably my fault for
getting involved in the first place.
731
00:38:07,953 --> 00:38:10,539
Don't force me to testify!
732
00:38:10,706 --> 00:38:12,624
It'll ruin my career.
733
00:38:12,791 --> 00:38:16,086
I'm perfect for young
dad parts in commercials.
734
00:38:19,631 --> 00:38:20,966
He's useless at trial.
735
00:38:21,133 --> 00:38:22,634
He'd be a reluctant witness,
736
00:38:22,801 --> 00:38:25,554
and you can only bring him in if
the character issue is opened up.
737
00:38:25,721 --> 00:38:27,472
Worse. If he says
it's his own fault,
738
00:38:27,639 --> 00:38:29,391
he can be used against us.
739
00:38:29,558 --> 00:38:32,102
It makes the responsibility
question real muddy.
740
00:38:34,229 --> 00:38:36,398
And on that evening,
did you hurt Mr. More?
741
00:38:36,565 --> 00:38:38,650
Ms. Hendrick…
742
00:38:38,817 --> 00:38:40,652
Told me to slap him on the legs.
743
00:38:40,819 --> 00:38:42,821
You slapped him with your hands?
744
00:38:42,988 --> 00:38:46,325
Yes. No… I was wearing gloves.
745
00:38:46,491 --> 00:38:50,245
And where was Mr. More
when all this was happening?
746
00:38:50,412 --> 00:38:52,998
He… was standing on a chair,
747
00:38:53,165 --> 00:38:55,917
with a noose around his neck…
748
00:38:56,084 --> 00:38:58,962
And he lifted his
legs… Off the chair.
749
00:38:59,129 --> 00:39:00,839
He…
750
00:39:01,006 --> 00:39:03,842
accidentally kicked
the chair over.
751
00:39:04,009 --> 00:39:06,887
I went to pick it up…
752
00:39:07,054 --> 00:39:09,806
But Ms. Hendrick
ordered me not to.
753
00:39:09,973 --> 00:39:11,892
Elizabeth Hendrick ordered you
754
00:39:12,059 --> 00:39:14,770
to let Mr. More hang to death…
755
00:39:14,936 --> 00:39:16,563
And you did?
756
00:39:16,730 --> 00:39:18,982
You have to understand!
757
00:39:20,233 --> 00:39:22,694
I had to do what she told me.
758
00:39:23,820 --> 00:39:26,031
You had to do what she told you?
759
00:39:27,616 --> 00:39:29,659
It was part of our game.
760
00:39:31,661 --> 00:39:33,914
It's still 10 million
miles from Hendrick.
761
00:39:34,081 --> 00:39:36,124
Even with the drugs
and diminished capacity.
762
00:39:36,291 --> 00:39:38,960
Our own case says her
role in the death is indirect.
763
00:39:39,127 --> 00:39:41,380
If I can get her on the stand…
764
00:39:41,546 --> 00:39:44,383
I can bring her down.
765
00:39:44,549 --> 00:39:48,053
You know that Henry Rothman
killed Victor More, don't you?
766
00:39:48,220 --> 00:39:50,472
Yes, I'm afraid I do.
767
00:39:50,639 --> 00:39:52,808
At least we have that straight.
768
00:39:52,974 --> 00:39:54,768
Elizabeth, I recommend…
769
00:39:54,935 --> 00:39:56,353
I'll handle this, Jay.
770
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,730
On the stand, if you were
effective in presenting your side,
771
00:39:58,897 --> 00:40:01,233
you'd clear yourself.
You grant me immunity,
772
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,235
and then I'll
testify against him.
773
00:40:03,402 --> 00:40:04,986
I'm afraid I can't do that.
774
00:40:05,153 --> 00:40:07,280
That's what you're
going to do, Mr. Stone.
775
00:40:07,447 --> 00:40:11,201
You don't think the grand
jury will believe you, do you?
776
00:40:11,368 --> 00:40:13,662
You never know, do you?
777
00:40:16,123 --> 00:40:18,166
I'll waive immunity.
778
00:40:19,376 --> 00:40:21,586
I'll see you at the grand jury.
779
00:40:21,753 --> 00:40:23,338
Thank you.
780
00:40:26,216 --> 00:40:29,261
She has to engage me. if she
doesn't, it'll make her look weak.
781
00:40:29,428 --> 00:40:31,972
That's one of the longest
shots you've ever played.
782
00:40:32,139 --> 00:40:34,558
She wants to dominate me.
783
00:40:34,724 --> 00:40:37,894
I'm gonna give her the chance.
784
00:40:39,146 --> 00:40:42,607
That question has an
ugly implication, Mr. Stone.
785
00:40:42,774 --> 00:40:44,734
I'm sorry.
786
00:40:44,901 --> 00:40:47,737
Could you… rephrase it for me?
787
00:40:47,904 --> 00:40:51,533
You asked if I gave
the men drugs.
788
00:40:52,784 --> 00:40:55,203
You implied I gave
them illegal drugs.
789
00:40:56,288 --> 00:40:58,999
Mr. Rothman and
Mr. More took drugs,
790
00:40:59,166 --> 00:41:01,126
but not because they
got them from me.
791
00:41:01,293 --> 00:41:05,005
I'm sorry if I offended you.
792
00:41:11,261 --> 00:41:12,971
You were accustomed…
793
00:41:13,138 --> 00:41:15,932
to playing games with
Mr. Rothman, weren't you?
794
00:41:17,809 --> 00:41:20,437
Mr. More invited me to
join him in what he called…
795
00:41:20,604 --> 00:41:22,772
"a performance art work."
796
00:41:22,939 --> 00:41:25,692
We were rehearsing
it with Mr. Rothman.
797
00:41:25,859 --> 00:41:27,360
We'd done this before,
798
00:41:27,527 --> 00:41:29,696
but the men were
never very good at it,
799
00:41:29,863 --> 00:41:32,699
so I was doing my
best to help them.
800
00:41:32,866 --> 00:41:36,453
I left the men alone
for just a few minutes.
801
00:41:37,913 --> 00:41:39,664
When I returned,
802
00:41:39,831 --> 00:41:42,334
I found Mr. More dead…
803
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,755
and the chair…
several feet away.
804
00:41:49,090 --> 00:41:51,510
Mr. Rothman was
sobbing on the floor,
805
00:41:51,676 --> 00:41:54,679
and he kept saying
over and over again,
806
00:41:54,846 --> 00:41:57,474
"I let him die."
807
00:41:59,392 --> 00:42:01,603
It was a tragic mistake…
808
00:42:01,770 --> 00:42:04,648
Made by incompetent men.
809
00:42:06,858 --> 00:42:09,361
I know I should never
have left them alone.
810
00:42:09,528 --> 00:42:12,531
You "knew" you should
never have left them alone?
811
00:42:14,032 --> 00:42:15,575
Does that mean you knew
812
00:42:15,742 --> 00:42:18,995
that Victor More
would be hurt if you did?
813
00:42:21,665 --> 00:42:23,250
I mean…
814
00:42:25,126 --> 00:42:27,045
I know now,
815
00:42:27,212 --> 00:42:29,881
I shouldn't have
left them alone.
816
00:42:32,092 --> 00:42:33,552
She sounds crazy.
817
00:42:33,718 --> 00:42:36,012
The question is, does
she sound crazy enough?
818
00:42:36,179 --> 00:42:38,348
The question is, does
she sound guilty enough?
819
00:42:44,729 --> 00:42:46,356
Hey, Ben…
820
00:42:52,696 --> 00:42:55,156
Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Rothman has told me
821
00:42:55,323 --> 00:42:57,701
he feels his previous
testimony was incomplete,
822
00:42:57,867 --> 00:43:00,412
and he's asked for an
opportunity to expand on it.
823
00:43:03,206 --> 00:43:06,167
I lied to you the
last time I testified.
824
00:43:08,044 --> 00:43:11,798
I am solely responsible
for Victor More's death.
825
00:43:11,965 --> 00:43:14,759
Ms. Hendrick was not
in the room at the time,
826
00:43:14,926 --> 00:43:16,595
I take full responsibility.
827
00:43:21,766 --> 00:43:25,228
Did you have a conversation
with Ms. Hendrick during lunch?
828
00:43:29,691 --> 00:43:33,320
Mr. Rothman, I asked you, did you have
a conversation with Elizabeth Hendrick?
829
00:43:33,486 --> 00:43:34,779
Yes.
830
00:43:34,946 --> 00:43:38,825
Did she order you to come back
in here and change your testimony?
831
00:43:40,410 --> 00:43:42,454
I killed Victor More.
832
00:43:42,621 --> 00:43:45,790
Just the way she ordered you
to, the night Victor More died?
833
00:43:45,957 --> 00:43:47,375
Ms. Hendrick had
nothing to do with it.
834
00:43:47,542 --> 00:43:50,211
Mr. Rothman, you realize…
835
00:43:50,378 --> 00:43:52,797
That these statements
will invalidate
836
00:43:52,964 --> 00:43:55,216
the plea bargaining
which you entered into?
837
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,930
Ms. Hendrick had
nothing to do with it.
838
00:44:11,441 --> 00:44:13,318
Stone…
839
00:44:13,485 --> 00:44:17,364
Max Greevey. I'm in the
late Henry Rothman's office.
840
00:44:17,530 --> 00:44:20,283
I think you should get
over here right away.
841
00:44:50,313 --> 00:44:52,857
Mr. Stone, I didn't
expect to see you here.
842
00:44:53,024 --> 00:44:54,818
You may not have
heard the news yet,
843
00:44:54,984 --> 00:44:58,154
but your friend, Henry Rothman,
killed himself this afternoon.
844
00:44:59,864 --> 00:45:01,700
He couldn't face jail, I guess.
845
00:45:01,866 --> 00:45:03,868
Hung himself in his office.
846
00:45:08,998 --> 00:45:10,959
Did anyone take a picture?
847
00:45:12,210 --> 00:45:14,379
No, no one took any photos,
848
00:45:14,546 --> 00:45:17,757
but Henry left some.
Polaroids of you…
849
00:45:17,924 --> 00:45:19,926
watching More die.
850
00:45:22,721 --> 00:45:26,141
You have the right to remain silent
and refuse to answer questions.
851
00:45:26,307 --> 00:45:29,269
Do you understand?
Anything you do say
852
00:45:29,436 --> 00:45:32,480
may be used against you in a
court of law. Do you understand?
853
00:45:32,647 --> 00:45:35,942
You have the right to
consult an attorney…
