Young wife.

What... what did you say?

00:03:26,907 --> 00:03:28,907
Ed and Melanie,
   they're getting divorced.

She doesn't live here anymore.

48
00:03:30,377 --> 00:03:32,211
Is she blonde,
                  about 30?

49
00:03:32,213 --> 00:03:36,615
Blonde, but if Melanie's 30,
        I'm Vanilla Ice.

51
00:03:37,618 --> 00:03:38,917
It wasn't the wife.

Where we can find
Mrs. Cullen?

53
00:03:45,926 --> 00:03:47,392
(<i> voice breaks</i> ):
We were, uh...

54
00:03:47,394 --> 00:03:50,796
we were separated
for 15 months.

55
00:03:50,798 --> 00:03:55,834
That doesn't mean
that I stopped loving him.

00:03:57,638 --> 00:03:59,838
Take your time.

57
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,275
We just want to find out
who did this.

58
00:04:03,277 --> 00:04:05,744
Did your husband
       have any enemies?

59
00:04:05,746 --> 00:04:06,945
You know, I mean

60
00:04:06,947 --> 00:04:09,014
business or anything?

61
00:04:10,951 --> 00:04:13,285
Eddie owed people money

62
00:04:13,287 --> 00:04:17,422
but not enough
   for somebody to kill him.

63
00:04:17,424 --> 00:04:19,591
Your husband, Mrs. Cullen--

64
00:04:19,593 --> 00:04:21,994
when is the last time
        you saw him?

65
00:04:21,996 --> 00:04:23,829
Three...

66
00:04:25,299 --> 00:04:29,835
<i>four</i> months ago

67
00:04:29,837 --> 00:04:33,005
Not a friendly divorce?

68
00:04:36,277 --> 00:04:38,677
It was amicable.

69
00:04:38,679 --> 00:04:40,712
People change.

70
00:04:40,714 --> 00:04:42,948
Did you know
    your husband's friend?

71
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:44,783
She was blonde, about 30.

72
00:04:46,887 --> 00:04:49,855
A woman was shot
       with your husband

73
00:04:49,857 --> 00:04:51,323
in the bedroom.

74
00:04:51,325 --> 00:04:53,925
Uh-uh.

75
00:04:53,927 --> 00:04:55,294
Could you tell me

76
00:04:55,296 --> 00:04:58,830
what you were doing tonight,
          Mrs. Cullen?

77
00:05:00,734 --> 00:05:05,003
I was married to him
for 25 years.

78
00:05:05,005 --> 00:05:07,806
Do you think
I could shoot him?

79
00:05:09,977 --> 00:05:13,345
I was here...

80
00:05:13,347 --> 00:05:17,082
with Jamie, our... my son.

81
00:05:19,019 --> 00:05:22,454
He went home
a half hour ago to study.

82
00:05:22,456 --> 00:05:24,423
Would you give us his address.

83
00:05:24,425 --> 00:05:27,759
Do you mind
if I call him first?

84
00:05:27,761 --> 00:05:30,962
Let<i> me</i> tell him
his father's dead.

85
00:05:30,964 --> 00:05:32,931
Of course.

86
00:05:35,736 --> 00:05:38,103
Everybody liked him.

87
00:05:38,105 --> 00:05:45,110
CERRETA:
Construction is not always
a friendly business, Jamie.

88
00:05:45,112 --> 00:05:46,912
Are you saying my dad
   was some kind of gangster?

89
00:05:50,918 --> 00:05:54,353
Why would anybody kill him?

90
00:05:54,355 --> 00:05:56,388
You work with your father?

91
00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:58,457
Yeah.

92
00:05:58,459 --> 00:06:02,728
Um... putting up frames.

93
00:06:02,730 --> 00:06:05,097
He wanted me
    to get into law school.

94
00:06:05,099 --> 00:06:07,899
Course for the law boards.

95
00:06:09,903 --> 00:06:12,070
Who was your father's
        girlfriend?

96
00:06:12,072 --> 00:06:14,740
I didn't know
        he had a girlfriend.

97
00:06:14,742 --> 00:06:16,942
You guys had to tell my mother?

98
00:06:16,944 --> 00:06:18,810
You were with her tonight?

99
00:06:20,914 --> 00:06:25,984
Um... I have dinner with her
    a couple times a month.

100
00:06:25,986 --> 00:06:32,424
She still can't get used
      to... living alone.

101
00:06:32,426 --> 00:06:35,026
When did you leave,
      about 10:00, right?

102
00:06:35,028 --> 00:06:37,496
About 11:00.

103
00:06:40,033 --> 00:06:41,900
I guess it's, uh...

104
00:06:41,902 --> 00:06:44,102
I guess it's your job
thinking these things, you guys,

105
00:06:44,104 --> 00:06:47,139
but it's crazy.

106
00:06:47,141 --> 00:06:50,409
My mother wouldn't kill
           my father.

107
00:06:56,984 --> 00:06:57,983
Six slugs.

108
00:06:57,985 --> 00:06:59,918
Talk about coitus interruptus.

109
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:01,153
You bring me a .38?

110
00:07:01,155 --> 00:07:03,755
It's out there somewhere.

111
00:07:03,757 --> 00:07:04,990
Only seven... 800,000
        of them around.

112
00:07:04,992 --> 00:07:07,459
You're looking for an old one,
         heavy rifling.

113
00:07:07,461 --> 00:07:09,961
Run Melanie and
                  Edward Cullen.

114
00:07:09,963 --> 00:07:11,096
Done.

115
00:07:11,098 --> 00:07:14,132
No registrations New York,
          Connecticut,

116
00:07:14,134 --> 00:07:16,168
Jersey and Pennsylvania.

117
00:07:16,170 --> 00:07:18,036
She does card tricks, too.

118
00:07:18,038 --> 00:07:19,070
Try this trick.

119
00:07:19,072 --> 00:07:21,173
Go through every
                .38 slug you got

120
00:07:21,175 --> 00:07:23,008
and if that doesn't work,

121
00:07:23,010 --> 00:07:24,910
start with our
              friends in Hoboken

122
00:07:24,912 --> 00:07:28,580
and Long Island City and
    work your way east and west.

123
00:07:28,582 --> 00:07:31,116
Sure, but it's a big haystack.

124
00:07:34,021 --> 00:07:37,522
The wife and the kid
       may be telling the truth.

125
00:07:37,524 --> 00:07:38,623
Yeah.

126
00:07:38,625 --> 00:07:41,059
Or the kid's lying
to cover for her.

127
00:07:41,061 --> 00:07:43,528
Or she's lying to cover for him.

128
00:07:43,530 --> 00:07:46,798
Or maybe they got up
       after the lasagna,

129
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,801
cabbed it to 73rd Street
and whacked

130
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:51,203
the happy couple
                       together.

131
00:07:51,205 --> 00:07:52,471
You know, we do have

132
00:07:52,473 --> 00:07:54,072
other people in this town.

133
00:07:54,074 --> 00:07:56,007
Have you considered
                   anybody else?

134
00:07:56,009 --> 00:07:58,109
Well, there's no mob angle
because, as you know,

135
00:07:58,111 --> 00:07:59,945
they use .22s, not .38s.

136
00:07:59,947 --> 00:08:03,048
So? You figure Cullen got
         up at a delicate moment

137
00:08:03,050 --> 00:08:06,051
let the killer in and then
        hopped back in the sack?

138
00:08:06,053 --> 00:08:08,220
I figure somebody
had a key.

139
00:08:08,222 --> 00:08:10,055
Phil, I know it
                  looks obvious,

140
00:08:10,057 --> 00:08:12,023
but before we
sentence the wife,

141
00:08:12,025 --> 00:08:13,258
remember we do have
                two victims here

142
00:08:13,260 --> 00:08:15,026
and one of them
                is still wearing

143
00:08:15,028 --> 00:08:18,129
a tag on her
                 toe-- Jane Doe.

144
00:08:18,131 --> 00:08:20,131
Maybe she had
an enemy.

145
00:08:20,133 --> 00:08:21,867
Maybe she had a name.

146
00:08:21,869 --> 00:08:23,101
Middle-age guy has
               a babe like that,

147
00:08:23,103 --> 00:08:24,636
he spreads the news.

148
00:08:24,638 --> 00:08:27,572
Ask at the office.

149
00:08:27,574 --> 00:08:30,976
I always told Ed,
 "Stick to your core business.

150
00:08:30,978 --> 00:08:34,179
Residential in Queens,
   commercial in Manhattan."

151
00:08:34,181 --> 00:08:37,082
No. He wants to do condos,
         First Avenue.

152
00:08:37,084 --> 00:08:38,550
You his partner?

153
00:08:38,552 --> 00:08:40,051
Sales manager.

154
00:08:40,053 --> 00:08:42,854
And I know what sells.

155
00:08:42,856 --> 00:08:44,289
He wants to leave Melanie.

156
00:08:44,291 --> 00:08:46,124
I said, "She's Brooklyn.

157
00:08:46,126 --> 00:08:47,092
"You're Brooklyn.

158
00:08:47,094 --> 00:08:48,260
That's your core."

159
00:08:48,262 --> 00:08:49,895
You think it was the girlfriend?

160
00:08:49,897 --> 00:08:51,029
No, she came later.

161
00:08:51,031 --> 00:08:51,997
You know, mid-life crisis.

162
00:08:51,999 --> 00:08:53,131
Business goes bad.

163
00:08:53,133 --> 00:08:54,599
He wants a divorce.

164
00:08:54,601 --> 00:08:56,134
He cons Melanie
into moving out.

165
00:08:56,136 --> 00:08:58,570
Promises he's going
to sell the apartment.

166
00:08:58,572 --> 00:09:01,907
This dead boss of yours
  sounds like a real charmer.

167
00:09:01,909 --> 00:09:03,942
Only bad guys
leave their wives?

168
00:09:03,944 --> 00:09:06,945
Every guy who knew Ed Cullen
thought he was terrific.

169
00:09:06,947 --> 00:09:09,047
Alexandra Beckett--
 what is that, with two "T's"?

170
00:09:09,049 --> 00:09:10,282
One or two--
I never met her.

171
00:09:10,284 --> 00:09:12,150
He kept her mostly secret.

172
00:09:12,152 --> 00:09:13,151
You happen to know
        where she lived?

173
00:09:13,153 --> 00:09:14,686
No.

174
00:09:14,688 --> 00:09:17,656
But she worked
at Christie's.

175
00:09:23,664 --> 00:09:25,697
Oh, God.

176
00:09:25,699 --> 00:09:29,601
It's Alexandra.

177
00:09:29,603 --> 00:09:31,603
This was her big sale.

178
00:09:31,605 --> 00:09:33,605
Could we go downstairs?

179
00:09:33,607 --> 00:09:35,340
Yeah, sure.

180
00:09:39,713 --> 00:09:42,180
Did you know
         her boyfriend?

181
00:09:42,182 --> 00:09:44,349
Mm-hmm.
                  Doug Phillips.

182
00:09:46,019 --> 00:09:48,286
How many boyfriends
did she have?

183
00:09:48,288 --> 00:09:49,955
Oh. You mean Edward.

184
00:09:49,957 --> 00:09:51,022
You said boyfriend.

185
00:09:51,024 --> 00:09:52,591
She broke up with him

186
00:09:52,593 --> 00:09:54,726
when she started
                seeing Edward.

187
00:09:54,728 --> 00:09:57,729
In other words,
she traded in a boy for a man?

188
00:09:57,731 --> 00:10:00,699
Um, he... Doug dropped out
          of Wharton.

189
00:10:00,701 --> 00:10:03,602
He dropped out
     of Yale architecture.

190
00:10:03,604 --> 00:10:05,103
Edward was solid.

191
00:10:05,105 --> 00:10:07,138
He knew what he wanted.

192
00:10:07,140 --> 00:10:08,740
What he wanted was Alexandra?

193
00:10:08,742 --> 00:10:11,710
He adored her.

194
00:10:11,712 --> 00:10:15,146
Doug must have been thrilled.

195
00:10:15,148 --> 00:10:17,215
He have a temper?

196
00:10:17,217 --> 00:10:20,185
Oh, no, no, no, no.

197
00:10:20,187 --> 00:10:23,054
Doug would have never
     have killed Alexandra.

198
00:10:23,056 --> 00:10:24,389
But he might
      have killed Cullen.

199
00:10:28,128 --> 00:10:31,262
There... there was a scene
in a restaurant.

200
00:10:31,264 --> 00:10:34,015
With Cullen?

201
00:10:34,016 --> 00:10:36,767
Uh, Edward was there
  with Alexandra at Vicenzo's

202
00:10:36,770 --> 00:10:42,374
and, uh, Doug walked in, drunk,
      and he punched him.

203
00:10:44,111 --> 00:10:47,078
P-H-I-L-L-I-P-S.

204
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,380
First name Douglas.

205
00:10:48,382 --> 00:10:50,081
Run him for his
               prints, will you?

206
00:10:50,083 --> 00:10:52,083
And his phone--
message unit details.

207
00:10:52,085 --> 00:10:53,418
Hey, Bobby. Bobby.

208
00:10:53,420 --> 00:10:55,754
Get a subpoena for
            his MUDs, all right?

209
00:10:55,756 --> 00:10:57,088
Got you.
             BOBBY:

210
00:10:57,090 --> 00:11:00,225
(<i> phones ringing</i> )

211
00:11:00,227 --> 00:11:01,760
Usage details.

212
00:11:01,762 --> 00:11:03,662
Phillips called
his girlfriend's apartment

213
00:11:03,664 --> 00:11:08,233
and Cullen's apartment 50 times.

214
00:11:08,235 --> 00:11:09,685
There's no gun

215
00:11:09,686 --> 00:11:11,136
registered to Phillips
                     in New York

216
00:11:11,138 --> 00:11:12,837
and there's no match
               yet on the slugs.

217
00:11:12,839 --> 00:11:14,239
Yeah, but he called
Cullen's apartment

218
00:11:14,241 --> 00:11:15,807
the night of the murder.

219
00:11:15,809 --> 00:11:17,342
Yeah. Keep checking
                the other states

220
00:11:17,344 --> 00:11:20,078
and keep looking
                    for a match.

221
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,113
The kid had an altruistic phase.

222
00:11:22,115 --> 00:11:24,249
Taught public school one summer.

223
00:11:24,251 --> 00:11:25,784
So you got his prints?

224
00:11:25,786 --> 00:11:28,720
They match a set
     in Cullen's apartment.

225
00:11:28,722 --> 00:11:30,522
You're welcome.

226
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:32,323
And may I suggest
       a search warrant?

227
00:11:33,794 --> 00:11:36,828
Yeah. Mm-hmm.

228
00:11:36,830 --> 00:11:38,129
I didn't kill her.

229
00:11:38,131 --> 00:11:39,330
I wanted to marry her.

230
00:11:39,332 --> 00:11:41,199
Did she want to marry you?

231
00:11:41,201 --> 00:11:43,168
What was she doing at Cullen's?

232
00:11:43,170 --> 00:11:44,803
Shopping for her trousseau?

233
00:11:44,805 --> 00:11:46,171
Are these yours?

234
00:11:46,173 --> 00:11:47,272
Hers. Spares.

235
00:11:47,274 --> 00:11:49,441
She was my girlfriend.

236
00:11:49,443 --> 00:11:51,409
She used to sleep here.

237
00:11:51,411 --> 00:11:53,244
(<i> sighs</i> )

238
00:11:53,246 --> 00:11:55,113
We'd like you to come
           down to the precinct.

239
00:11:55,115 --> 00:11:58,183
Just to ask
                a few questions.

240
00:11:58,185 --> 00:11:59,851
I want to call a lawyer.

241
00:11:59,853 --> 00:12:02,287
So he slugged him once
weeks ago.

242
00:12:02,289 --> 00:12:03,888
That's not murder.

243
00:12:03,890 --> 00:12:07,292
He was a sleaze in a
           thousand-dollar suit.

244
00:12:07,294 --> 00:12:10,729
With a nicer apartment
than yours.

245
00:12:10,731 --> 00:12:13,298
Alexandra had a weakness
                   for older men

246
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:16,167
which is a joke if
            you know her father.

247
00:12:16,169 --> 00:12:18,837
What are you saying here,
                 am I a suspect?

248
00:12:18,839 --> 00:12:22,407
LOGAN:
   Hey, listen, everybody's a
 suspect until they're cleared.

249
00:12:22,409 --> 00:12:25,510
But let's just say
  that you didn't kill Cullen.

250
00:12:25,512 --> 00:12:28,279
Have you ever been
       in his apartment?

251
00:12:30,217 --> 00:12:33,184
Once. A cocktail party
         with Alexandra

252
00:12:33,186 --> 00:12:35,186
four or five months ago.

253
00:12:35,188 --> 00:12:39,390
He was trying to get
on the board of a dance company.

254
00:12:39,392 --> 00:12:40,525
Pathetic.

255
00:12:40,527 --> 00:12:43,394
They wanted his money
            and his view.

256
00:12:43,396 --> 00:12:47,265
Your girlfriend liked
a lot more than the view.

257
00:12:47,267 --> 00:12:50,168
Up yours, pal.

258
00:12:50,170 --> 00:12:51,870
Do I have to
                 take this crap?

259
00:12:51,872 --> 00:12:53,689
CERRETA:
                      Nice work.

260
00:12:53,690 --> 00:12:55,507
Bait him. Calm him down.
               Rev him up again.

261
00:12:55,509 --> 00:12:58,943
LOGAN:
     You talk to Alexandra
   the night she was killed?

262
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:02,147
I was home.

263
00:13:02,149 --> 00:13:03,248
You call anybody?

264
00:13:03,250 --> 00:13:07,285
Anybody call you?

265
00:13:07,287 --> 00:13:10,488
You called Cullen's apartment
    an hour before he died.

266
00:13:10,490 --> 00:13:12,357
The call lasted six minutes.

267
00:13:12,359 --> 00:13:13,525
Not another word.

268
00:13:13,527 --> 00:13:14,893
Let's go. That's it.

269
00:13:14,895 --> 00:13:16,161
Interview's over.

270
00:13:16,163 --> 00:13:18,296
You charge him
or you let him go.

271
00:13:26,406 --> 00:13:29,307
Prints, motive,
opportunity.

272
00:13:29,309 --> 00:13:31,876
Those prints could have been
        five months old.

273
00:13:31,878 --> 00:13:33,378
Or 96 hours.

274
00:13:33,380 --> 00:13:34,546
How did he get in?

275
00:13:34,548 --> 00:13:36,314
Kid had a key to
           the girl's apartment.

276
00:13:36,316 --> 00:13:37,448
She had a key
                   to Cullen's.

277
00:13:37,450 --> 00:13:39,184
I'm figuring one
            plus one equals two.

278
00:13:39,186 --> 00:13:40,451
The girl was shot first.

279
00:13:40,453 --> 00:13:42,520
He's gonna kill them,
    he'd pop the guy first.

280
00:13:42,522 --> 00:13:44,189
Come on, Mike, he's
       angry enough to shoot her

281
00:13:44,191 --> 00:13:45,323
but not angry enough
            to shoot her first?

282
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:46,858
I wish we had a gun.

283
00:13:46,860 --> 00:13:49,327
I wish I had a
          girlfriend named Lola.

284
00:13:49,329 --> 00:13:51,863
(<i> chuckles</i> )

285
00:13:51,865 --> 00:13:53,832
What do you think, Counselor?

286
00:13:53,834 --> 00:13:56,868
We've gotten indictments
on a lot less.

287
00:13:56,870 --> 00:13:59,070
They don't sell hot guns
      at Brooks Brothers.

288
00:13:59,071 --> 00:14:01,271
I am telling you, this twerp
wouldn't know where to get one.

289
00:14:01,274 --> 00:14:03,274
Come on, Phil,
                 even rich jerks

290
00:14:03,276 --> 00:14:07,412
can get a .38
                   in this town.

291
00:14:15,188 --> 00:14:17,422
Douglas Phillips,
      you're under arrest

292
00:14:17,424 --> 00:14:21,292
for the murder of Edward Cullen
     and Alexandra Beckett.

293
00:14:21,294 --> 00:14:23,494
You have the right
             to remain silent...

294
00:14:25,966 --> 00:14:27,165
Not guilty.

295
00:14:27,167 --> 00:14:29,267
Your Honor,
   these are vicious murders

296
00:14:29,268 --> 00:14:31,368
committed by a privileged young
   man who considers himself

297
00:14:31,371 --> 00:14:34,105
beyond the norms
of society.

298
00:14:34,107 --> 00:14:36,041
The people request
       substantial bail.

299
00:14:36,042 --> 00:14:37,976
Your Honor, Mr. Phillips
has never been arrested before.

300
00:14:37,978 --> 00:14:40,979
He has strong family
roots in New York City.

301
00:14:40,981 --> 00:14:43,114
His grandfather
                sat on the bench

302
00:14:43,116 --> 00:14:45,416
where Your Honor
                   now presides.

303
00:14:45,418 --> 00:14:48,386
I hope he worked shorter hours
           than I do.

304
00:14:48,388 --> 00:14:50,154
200,000.

305
00:14:50,156 --> 00:14:53,992
JUDGE:
      I'll be back in ten.

306
00:14:53,994 --> 00:14:55,894
What? What are we doing here?

307
00:14:55,896 --> 00:14:57,896
No gun, no witness,
                    no record...

308
00:14:57,898 --> 00:14:59,998
He'd have a record
if Cullen had called the cops

309
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,666
after he slugged him.

310
00:15:01,667 --> 00:15:03,333
You want to make a case,
         he'll plead to assault.

311
00:15:03,336 --> 00:15:06,471
How about manslaughter one,
crime of passion?

312
00:15:10,377 --> 00:15:11,943
LOGAN:
Here you go.

313
00:15:11,945 --> 00:15:13,978
Best hot dog
                    in the city?

314
00:15:13,980 --> 00:15:16,047
86th and Third,
the Papaya Place.

315
00:15:16,049 --> 00:15:18,082
There may be hope
               for you yet.

316
00:15:19,219 --> 00:15:21,286
Ptomaine city.

317
00:15:21,288 --> 00:15:22,553
You want this?

318
00:15:22,555 --> 00:15:24,022
Yeah.

319
00:15:25,525 --> 00:15:28,026
What's around here?

320
00:15:28,028 --> 00:15:29,394
Antonio's.

321
00:15:29,396 --> 00:15:31,129
Go get some calamari.

322
00:15:31,131 --> 00:15:33,431
Listen, Phil, I don't eat
anything that squirts ink, okay?

323
00:15:38,038 --> 00:15:40,038
"Mrs. Cullen thanked the police

324
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,441
for apprehending
her husband's killer."

325
00:15:43,443 --> 00:15:46,177
What, did she
                send you a note?

326
00:15:46,179 --> 00:15:47,979
You tell me.

327
00:15:50,050 --> 00:15:52,317
How did Phillips get in?

328
00:15:54,321 --> 00:15:56,054
Cragen could be right.

329
00:15:56,056 --> 00:15:57,956
He lifted the girl's key.

330
00:15:57,958 --> 00:15:59,290
You buy it?

331
00:16:02,128 --> 00:16:04,095
You don't think
                      he did it?

332
00:16:04,097 --> 00:16:05,363
The Cullen kid--

333
00:16:05,365 --> 00:16:07,966
spent a lot of time
with his father.

334
00:16:07,968 --> 00:16:10,101
Yeah. He probably
                      had a key.

335
00:16:10,103 --> 00:16:12,003
Remember what he said?

336
00:16:12,005 --> 00:16:13,604
He said, "My mother
wouldn't kill my father."

337
00:16:13,606 --> 00:16:15,606
He was with her
at the time of the murder.

338
00:16:15,608 --> 00:16:22,981
Why didn't he say, "My mother
<i>didn't</i> kill my father"?

339
00:16:22,983 --> 00:16:24,048
You want to reopen

340
00:16:24,050 --> 00:16:26,484
'cause the kid used
        the wrong tense?

341
00:16:26,486 --> 00:16:27,986
It's not just that.

342
00:16:27,988 --> 00:16:29,504
These snot-nosed rich kids--

343
00:16:29,505 --> 00:16:31,021
you look at them funny,
                they fall apart.

344
00:16:31,024 --> 00:16:32,590
Phillips-- he didn't break.

345
00:16:32,592 --> 00:16:34,025
This a conspiracy?

346
00:16:34,027 --> 00:16:35,259
You guys in on this together?

347
00:16:35,261 --> 00:16:36,561
Cullen and the girlfriend

348
00:16:36,563 --> 00:16:37,628
are shacking up
                for four months.

349
00:16:37,630 --> 00:16:39,097
The wife never
                  heard of her?

350
00:16:39,099 --> 00:16:40,232
The son never noticed?

351
00:16:40,233 --> 00:16:41,366
Come on, her clothes
     are in his apartment.

352
00:16:41,368 --> 00:16:43,101
The son go blind?

353
00:16:43,103 --> 00:16:44,635
The son has no motive,

354
00:16:44,637 --> 00:16:46,637
the wife has an alibi.

355
00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:51,109
What about the alibi's alibi?

356
00:16:55,115 --> 00:16:56,547
Jamie Cullen.

357
00:16:58,551 --> 00:17:00,218
Excuse me, dear.

358
00:17:04,090 --> 00:17:08,559
Hmm, looks like he'll be back
        for another try.

359
00:17:08,561 --> 00:17:13,398
Checks out the review tapes,
but his test exams... marginal.

360
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,133
Very.

361
00:17:15,135 --> 00:17:17,635
Have his scores dipped lately?

362
00:17:17,637 --> 00:17:19,303
Bad and steady.

363
00:17:19,305 --> 00:17:24,142
We set him up in a study group,
    seven other students...

364
00:17:24,144 --> 00:17:26,144
Oh, look at this.

365
00:17:26,146 --> 00:17:28,479
He missed class Thursday night.

366
00:17:28,481 --> 00:17:33,351
You got the names of those kids,
  the ones in the study group?

367
00:17:33,353 --> 00:17:35,153
I'm trying to get
        into law school

368
00:17:35,155 --> 00:17:38,189
because my father told me that
 education is wasted on women.

369
00:17:38,191 --> 00:17:39,690
Jamie wants to go

370
00:17:39,692 --> 00:17:43,561
because his father wanted him
 to make something of himself.

371
00:17:43,563 --> 00:17:45,596
Did he have a problem
        with his father?

372
00:17:45,598 --> 00:17:49,434
Jamie has a problem
      with the law boards.

373
00:17:49,436 --> 00:17:51,436
He liked his father.

374
00:17:51,438 --> 00:17:54,238
You took him his notes
after class.

375
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,240
For what it's worth.

376
00:17:56,242 --> 00:17:58,676
Well, what time
did you get there?

377
00:17:58,678 --> 00:18:02,713
About... 9:00, 9:10.

378
00:18:02,715 --> 00:18:04,649
You leave them
at the door?

379
00:18:04,651 --> 00:18:07,718
No. I gave them to Jamie.

380
00:18:11,591 --> 00:18:13,724
You're sure about the time?

381
00:18:13,726 --> 00:18:15,526
I'm positive.

382
00:18:18,465 --> 00:18:20,465
So you arrested somebody,
             right?

383
00:18:20,467 --> 00:18:22,467
Why are you asking me this?

384
00:18:22,469 --> 00:18:23,734
(<i> sighs</i> )

385
00:18:23,736 --> 00:18:25,169
It's a slow day,
and I don't know,

386
00:18:25,171 --> 00:18:26,604
we thought
we'd kill some time.

387
00:18:26,606 --> 00:18:30,475
Jamie, you weren't
with your mother.

388
00:18:30,477 --> 00:18:32,477
I had dinner with her.

389
00:18:32,478 --> 00:18:34,478
What do you think this is,
 some kind of a schoolyard game?

390
00:18:34,481 --> 00:18:35,546
No, I didn't.

391
00:18:35,548 --> 00:18:37,849
Yes, you did.

392
00:18:37,850 --> 00:18:40,151
You want us to prove it,
               we will prove it.

393
00:18:44,524 --> 00:18:46,157
Okay.

394
00:18:46,159 --> 00:18:47,391
I was with her.

395
00:18:47,393 --> 00:18:49,660
I was there until about 8:30.

396
00:18:49,662 --> 00:18:51,362
She called me up.

397
00:18:51,364 --> 00:18:52,663
She was scared.

398
00:18:52,665 --> 00:18:54,665
She said you accused her.

399
00:18:54,667 --> 00:18:56,467
Did she tell you to lie?

400
00:18:56,469 --> 00:18:59,704
She didn't kill my father.

401
00:19:03,643 --> 00:19:05,343
We're barely out the door,

402
00:19:05,345 --> 00:19:08,379
she's already on the horn
telling the kid to lie.

403
00:19:08,381 --> 00:19:10,381
The good news: Great
           Neck, four years ago.

404
00:19:10,383 --> 00:19:12,316
Your .38 hit a burglar.

405
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:14,252
You're not going to ask?

406
00:19:14,254 --> 00:19:15,453
The dog ate it?

407
00:19:15,455 --> 00:19:17,622
Stolen-- three years ago.

408
00:19:18,691 --> 00:19:20,725
Stolen from who?

409
00:19:20,727 --> 00:19:23,327
Right out
of my apartment, man.

410
00:19:23,329 --> 00:19:26,497
Somebody must have come in
the fire escape.

411
00:19:26,499 --> 00:19:27,765
I reported it.

412
00:19:27,767 --> 00:19:29,767
Where were you
                  working then?

413
00:19:29,769 --> 00:19:31,502
What, three years ago?

414
00:19:31,504 --> 00:19:33,771
I don't remember,
and that's the damn truth.

415
00:19:33,773 --> 00:19:35,773
Your boss says it was
a construction site

416
00:19:35,775 --> 00:19:37,175
in Nassau County.

417
00:19:37,177 --> 00:19:38,409
Well, if you say so.

418
00:19:38,411 --> 00:19:40,061
I do say so.

419
00:19:40,062 --> 00:19:41,712
How long you been a
         security guard, George?

420
00:19:41,714 --> 00:19:43,548
14 years.

421
00:19:43,550 --> 00:19:45,283
For 14 years?

422
00:19:45,285 --> 00:19:47,185
The state of New York
                says in 14 years

423
00:19:47,187 --> 00:19:48,519
you had three registered
       guns, two of them stolen.

424
00:19:48,521 --> 00:19:50,421
You're a hell
of a security guard, George.

425
00:19:50,423 --> 00:19:52,390
You ought to hire a guard
to watch your guns.

426
00:19:52,392 --> 00:19:54,292
Look, I live
    in a rough neighborhood.

427
00:19:54,294 --> 00:19:56,727
Your last stolen gun
           has two bodies on it.

428
00:19:56,729 --> 00:19:59,197
You sold that, it's a felony.

429
00:19:59,199 --> 00:20:01,465
Maybe you like accessory
               to murder better?

430
00:20:01,467 --> 00:20:03,201
Hey, do you think

431
00:20:03,203 --> 00:20:05,203
we can't find out what
          happened to your guns?

432
00:20:05,205 --> 00:20:06,370
We'll tear your
                     life apart.

433
00:20:06,372 --> 00:20:08,239
Or you tell us,
plead to a misdemeanor,

434
00:20:08,241 --> 00:20:10,408
find yourself
a new career.

435
00:20:10,409 --> 00:20:12,576
He said he couldn't
get a license.

436
00:20:12,579 --> 00:20:13,778
He carried a lot of cash

437
00:20:13,780 --> 00:20:15,813
and he needed a gun
for protection.

438
00:20:15,815 --> 00:20:17,215
He gave me $500.

439
00:20:17,217 --> 00:20:19,450
He? Are you trying
                    to annoy me?

440
00:20:19,452 --> 00:20:20,585
Is that what
he's trying to do?

441
00:20:20,587 --> 00:20:21,819
He's trying to get
            on my nerves, right?

442
00:20:21,821 --> 00:20:23,754
The boss, Mr. Cullen.

443
00:20:25,592 --> 00:20:27,458
His own gun.

444
00:20:27,460 --> 00:20:28,693
I love this.

445
00:20:28,695 --> 00:20:31,295
So he killed the girl,
         killed himself

446
00:20:31,297 --> 00:20:32,530
and then threw the gun
        out the window.

447
00:20:32,532 --> 00:20:34,666
CERRETA:
Come on.

448
00:20:34,667 --> 00:20:36,801
He had the gun in the apartment
for three years.

449
00:20:36,803 --> 00:20:38,402
The wife
didn't know about it?

450
00:20:38,404 --> 00:20:39,537
The kid didn't know about it?

451
00:20:39,539 --> 00:20:41,739
But how would
      Doug Phillips know?

452
00:20:41,741 --> 00:20:43,474
The wife's alibi isshot.

453
00:20:43,476 --> 00:20:45,576
You have means
and opportunity.

454
00:20:45,578 --> 00:20:47,445
What about motive?

455
00:20:47,447 --> 00:20:48,879
Try blonde and 30.

456
00:20:48,881 --> 00:20:50,581
Not to mention money.

457
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:51,882
She says he was broke.

458
00:20:51,884 --> 00:20:53,818
He sure didn't live
       like he was broke.

459
00:20:53,820 --> 00:20:57,421
Go rattle her chain.

460
00:20:57,423 --> 00:20:59,890
MELANIE:
   Why would I need a lawyer?

461
00:20:59,892 --> 00:21:03,761
CERRETA:
    Because you're a suspect
 in the murder of your husband

462
00:21:03,763 --> 00:21:06,330
and Alexandra Beckett.

463
00:21:06,332 --> 00:21:09,867
I told my son to lie
because I was afraid.

464
00:21:09,869 --> 00:21:11,535
Afraid your husband

465
00:21:11,537 --> 00:21:13,871
was going to leave you
        without a dime?

466
00:21:16,843 --> 00:21:19,577
We were married for 25 years

467
00:21:19,579 --> 00:21:23,714
and I haven't had a job
since I got engaged.

468
00:21:23,716 --> 00:21:27,351
I was a salesgirl
at B. Altman then

469
00:21:27,353 --> 00:21:30,921
and now I don't even know
what category to look under.

470
00:21:30,923 --> 00:21:34,925
How about "housewife from
       Kings Highway, Brooklyn"?

471
00:21:37,764 --> 00:21:41,399
There's nothing wrong with being
a housewife from Kings Highway.

472
00:21:41,401 --> 00:21:43,734
Unless your husband wants
   a hostess from Georgetown.

473
00:21:45,672 --> 00:21:48,539
Ever see something like this?

474
00:21:48,541 --> 00:21:49,540
Yeah.

475
00:21:49,542 --> 00:21:52,376
On TV.

476
00:21:52,378 --> 00:21:53,778
Your husband had one of these.

477
00:21:53,780 --> 00:21:55,813
Do you know where he kept it?

478
00:21:55,815 --> 00:22:00,918
I haven't been in that apartment
          for a year.

479
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,355
The gun's been there
        for three years.

480
00:22:10,330 --> 00:22:12,396
I just buried my husband.

481
00:22:16,369 --> 00:22:18,903
Is this one solid?

482
00:22:18,905 --> 00:22:20,838
She lied about
                      her alibi.

483
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,707
She lied about the gun, too.

484
00:22:22,709 --> 00:22:24,842
We lifted her prints
   off the photo of the gun.

485
00:22:24,844 --> 00:22:27,712
They matched the prints
on Cullen's doorknob.

486
00:22:27,714 --> 00:22:30,648
Hard to believe
they stayed there over a year.

487
00:22:30,650 --> 00:22:32,817
And ten-to-one, she lied
about knowing the girlfriend.

488
00:22:32,819 --> 00:22:34,385
You need a scorecard

489
00:22:34,387 --> 00:22:36,520
to keep track of the lies
with this broad.

490
00:22:36,522 --> 00:22:38,723
They convinced me.

491
00:22:38,725 --> 00:22:42,727
Okay. We'll dismiss
               on the boyfriend.

492
00:22:42,729 --> 00:22:44,995
Pick her up.

493
00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:49,567
MAN:
<i> in the second degree</i>

494
00:22:49,569 --> 00:22:53,671
and manslaughter
in the first degree.

495
00:22:53,673 --> 00:22:57,608
Is the defendant ready
        to enter a plea?

496
00:22:57,610 --> 00:22:59,577
Not guilty.

497
00:22:59,579 --> 00:23:00,611
Your Honor, this was a vicious
        double murder...

498
00:23:00,613 --> 00:23:02,446
JUDGE:
         What is this?

499
00:23:02,448 --> 00:23:04,482
Déjà vu all over again?

500
00:23:04,484 --> 00:23:05,983
Didn't I hear this speech
         two weeks ago

501
00:23:05,985 --> 00:23:07,651
with a different defendant?

502
00:23:07,653 --> 00:23:09,587
The people have rectified
          their error.

503
00:23:09,589 --> 00:23:11,589
LEHRMAN:
Your honor, they're
compounding their error.

504
00:23:11,591 --> 00:23:14,558
There's no predicting
    who they'll arrest next.

505
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,727
Mrs. Cullen
  is a grief-stricken widow...

506
00:23:16,729 --> 00:23:18,396
Save it, Counselor.

507
00:23:18,398 --> 00:23:19,930
Same crime, same bail.

508
00:23:19,932 --> 00:23:22,133
200,000.

509
00:23:22,135 --> 00:23:23,968
LEHRMAN:
                     Murder two?

510
00:23:23,970 --> 00:23:26,971
Why even have it
                    on the menu?

511
00:23:26,973 --> 00:23:28,973
This isn't murder.

512
00:23:28,975 --> 00:23:30,741
It's manslaughter.

513
00:23:30,743 --> 00:23:32,576
You're admitting
                she killed them.

514
00:23:32,578 --> 00:23:33,644
No.

515
00:23:33,646 --> 00:23:34,712
But if she killed them,

516
00:23:34,714 --> 00:23:36,514
it was extreme
emotional disturbance.

517
00:23:36,516 --> 00:23:37,548
That's manslaughter.

518
00:23:37,550 --> 00:23:40,484
I get it.
               She wasn't there,

519
00:23:40,486 --> 00:23:42,586
and if she was,
           she didn't kill them,

520
00:23:42,588 --> 00:23:44,572
and if she did,
she didn't mean to,

521
00:23:44,573 --> 00:23:46,557
and if she did mean to,
   it was because she was upset.

522
00:23:46,559 --> 00:23:48,692
Cute.

523
00:23:48,694 --> 00:23:50,628
The murder charge is inflated.

524
00:23:50,630 --> 00:23:54,064
If she killed in the heat of
 passion and you can prove it?

525
00:23:54,066 --> 00:23:57,001
Her husband was in bed
      with another woman.

526
00:23:57,003 --> 00:23:59,103
Juries tend to be sympathetic.

527
00:23:59,105 --> 00:24:00,638
They also tend to sympathize

528
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,107
with people who have been shot
           six times.

529
00:24:03,109 --> 00:24:05,643
Criminally negligent homicide.

530
00:24:05,645 --> 00:24:07,211
She does no time.

531
00:24:07,213 --> 00:24:09,680
No time.

532
00:24:09,682 --> 00:24:12,683
Why don't we throw her
     a ticker tape parade?

533
00:24:12,685 --> 00:24:16,053
Manslaughter one--
8-1/3 each count.

534
00:24:16,055 --> 00:24:20,758
It's called plea-bargaining,
       not plea-scalping.

535
00:24:23,729 --> 00:24:25,062
Pass.

536
00:24:28,668 --> 00:24:30,701
The jury is not going to convict
           on murder.

537
00:24:30,703 --> 00:24:32,736
Take a deal.

538
00:24:32,738 --> 00:24:33,771
Manslaughter one.

539
00:24:33,773 --> 00:24:35,072
Four years.

540
00:24:35,074 --> 00:24:36,707
ROBINETTE:
 That's all she'll get anyway.

541
00:24:36,709 --> 00:24:38,209
This kind of case,
      judges are lenient.

542
00:24:38,211 --> 00:24:40,678
In this kind of case, if it
really is a case of passion,

543
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,546
a woman is weeping
into the barrel of a gun

544
00:24:42,548 --> 00:24:43,681
as the cops drive up.

545
00:24:43,683 --> 00:24:44,849
She doesn't run,
hide the gun,

546
00:24:44,851 --> 00:24:47,751
lie to the police,
fake alibis.

547
00:24:47,753 --> 00:24:49,753
Yeah, and all the
jury's going to see

548
00:24:49,755 --> 00:24:52,156
is a middle-aged
              widow who snapped.

549
00:24:52,158 --> 00:24:53,190
Some widow.

550
00:24:53,192 --> 00:24:54,792
She's barely a wife.

551
00:24:54,794 --> 00:24:57,695
A few months,
the legal separation is up.

552
00:24:57,697 --> 00:24:59,096
Two signatures,
they're divorced.

553
00:24:59,098 --> 00:25:00,264
Which they weren't.

554
00:25:00,266 --> 00:25:01,599
Which means she inherits.

555
00:25:01,601 --> 00:25:02,666
That's another
                motive entirely.

556
00:25:02,668 --> 00:25:04,235
Cullen was supposedly broke.

557
00:25:04,237 --> 00:25:06,070
STONE:
  I need every scrap of paper
     from the crime scene,

558
00:25:06,072 --> 00:25:08,239
Cullen's office,
         Mrs. Cullen's apartment

559
00:25:08,241 --> 00:25:09,874
and every witness
reinterviewed.

560
00:25:09,876 --> 00:25:14,044
Give you five to one all you're
   going to get is eyestrain.

561
00:25:14,046 --> 00:25:16,580
All the detectives are going
      to get is sore feet.

562
00:25:16,582 --> 00:25:18,749
You're going to end up
   exactly where you started.

563
00:25:18,751 --> 00:25:21,752
Wife shoots husband
       in bed with lover.

564
00:25:21,754 --> 00:25:23,787
Take a deal.

565
00:25:23,789 --> 00:25:26,790
CERRETA:
Cullen sure got
a lot of mail.

566
00:25:26,792 --> 00:25:28,058
Here's your motive.

567
00:25:28,060 --> 00:25:30,628
Cullen won a million bucks.

568
00:25:30,630 --> 00:25:32,696
Right from Ed McMahon.

569
00:25:32,698 --> 00:25:36,600
Here's something from the office
of the attorney-general.

570
00:25:40,306 --> 00:25:42,773
Notice of sales tax violation.

571
00:25:42,775 --> 00:25:43,841
Hmm.

572
00:25:43,843 --> 00:25:45,309
Did he jaywalk, too?

573
00:25:45,311 --> 00:25:47,728
It's a jeweler.

574
00:25:47,729 --> 00:25:50,146
They don't go after people
     for nickels and dimes.

575
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:55,886
Eight and a quarter
percent tax.

576
00:25:55,888 --> 00:25:59,790
On $14,000,
that's over 1,100.

577
00:25:59,792 --> 00:26:02,192
My customer says to me,
"Ship a dummy box to Jersey

578
00:26:02,194 --> 00:26:03,794
or I'll buy my stones
in Palm Beach."

579
00:26:03,796 --> 00:26:05,629
What am I supposed to do?

580
00:26:05,631 --> 00:26:08,699
Tell them our jails are
           nicer than Florida's.

581
00:26:08,701 --> 00:26:11,702
The state hit me
with a $100,000 fine.

582
00:26:11,704 --> 00:26:12,836
I love New York.

583
00:26:12,838 --> 00:26:13,837
Looks like
               you're surviving.

584
00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:15,673
The record on
                  that necklace.

585
00:26:15,675 --> 00:26:17,207
Is this really important?

586
00:26:17,209 --> 00:26:18,909
My customer comes in again,
I want his business.

587
00:26:18,911 --> 00:26:20,744
If your customer
                comes in again,

588
00:26:20,746 --> 00:26:22,146
call Geraldo.

589
00:26:22,148 --> 00:26:26,250
He's dead, and this is
         a murder investigation.

590
00:26:32,291 --> 00:26:34,692
Mr. Cullen
paid cash, right?

591
00:26:34,694 --> 00:26:38,963
And the necklace was sent
to an Alexandra Beckett?

592
00:26:38,965 --> 00:26:40,731
Just barely.

593
00:26:40,733 --> 00:26:43,901
Mr. Cullen had bought
     several pieces for his wife

594
00:26:43,903 --> 00:26:45,135
over the years--

595
00:26:45,137 --> 00:26:46,987
smaller pieces.

596
00:26:46,988 --> 00:26:48,838
There was a cretinous
              new shipping clerk

597
00:26:48,841 --> 00:26:51,208
who called Mrs. Cullen
by mistake.

598
00:26:51,210 --> 00:26:52,843
She was not expecting
                     a necklace.

599
00:26:52,845 --> 00:26:54,745
Very embarrassing.

600
00:26:54,747 --> 00:26:56,146
If Mr. Cullen
                  had found out,

601
00:26:56,148 --> 00:26:57,748
it could have cost
                me his business.

602
00:26:57,750 --> 00:27:01,785
It cost him
a lot more than that.

603
00:27:01,787 --> 00:27:03,287
Two motives are better than one.

604
00:27:03,288 --> 00:27:04,788
She knew he had money and she
   knew he had a girlfriend.

605
00:27:04,790 --> 00:27:06,774
So she was upset.

606
00:27:06,775 --> 00:27:08,759
That gets her from murder
     down to manslaughter.

607
00:27:08,761 --> 00:27:10,928
Really? She got the bad news

608
00:27:10,930 --> 00:27:13,230
two months
     before she killed him.

609
00:27:13,232 --> 00:27:16,000
Every court in the state will
call that a cooling-off period.

610
00:27:16,002 --> 00:27:17,801
She can be provoked
         more than once

611
00:27:17,803 --> 00:27:19,803
and still say
    it's a crime of passion.

612
00:27:19,805 --> 00:27:21,805
Not if she planned to kill him.

613
00:27:21,807 --> 00:27:23,774
She found them in bed.

614
00:27:23,775 --> 00:27:25,742
I know to a jury,
 it looks like new provocation,

615
00:27:25,745 --> 00:27:28,345
but what if she wasn't surprised
       to see them there?

616
00:27:28,347 --> 00:27:30,948
What if I prove to you
that she went there to kill them

617
00:27:30,950 --> 00:27:33,817
and knew she could pick up a gun
   on the way to the bedroom?

618
00:27:33,819 --> 00:27:34,918
Would that satisfy you?

619
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,854
Would that satisfy<i> you?</i>

620
00:27:36,856 --> 00:27:39,289
You're splitting legal hairs.

621
00:27:39,291 --> 00:27:43,794
Do you sincerely believe
that Melanie Cullen went there

622
00:27:43,796 --> 00:27:45,829
with murder in her heart?

623
00:27:45,831 --> 00:27:48,766
If I have any doubts,
            I'll plead her down.

624
00:27:48,768 --> 00:27:51,935
If not, she does 25 to life.

625
00:27:51,937 --> 00:27:54,038
We're still collecting
Cullen's mail.

626
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,839
This came yesterday.

627
00:27:55,841 --> 00:27:59,943
"If you wish to make additional
    spare copies of the keys

628
00:27:59,945 --> 00:28:01,979
"to your Fournier
       securi-proof lock

629
00:28:01,981 --> 00:28:03,380
"discover the convenience

630
00:28:03,382 --> 00:28:05,916
of ordering
  directly from the factory."

631
00:28:05,918 --> 00:28:08,018
So he had a key made.

632
00:28:09,321 --> 00:28:12,289
Somebody had a key made.

633
00:28:12,291 --> 00:28:14,024
Locks with thousand-dollar keys.

634
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:16,393
Invent one.
                I'll mint money.

635
00:28:16,395 --> 00:28:17,861
Fourniers,

636
00:28:17,863 --> 00:28:19,063
57 bucks a pop.

637
00:28:19,065 --> 00:28:20,998
The Cullen key?

638
00:28:31,944 --> 00:28:34,078
"Reason: lost original.

639
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,814
Owner: Mrs. Edward Cullen."

640
00:28:36,816 --> 00:28:39,349
Mrs. Cullen?
She had an original key?

641
00:28:39,351 --> 00:28:40,317
Lost original.

642
00:28:40,319 --> 00:28:42,486
But you made her
a copy.

643
00:28:42,488 --> 00:28:44,788
She had the serial number.

644
00:28:44,790 --> 00:28:47,825
And, yes, I called the company
    and checked the address

645
00:28:47,827 --> 00:28:48,892
on her ID.

646
00:28:48,894 --> 00:28:51,328
Where do you get
       the serial number?

647
00:28:51,330 --> 00:28:52,963
It's on the registration papers.

648
00:28:52,965 --> 00:28:54,832
That's it?

649
00:28:54,834 --> 00:28:59,870
Stamped on the original keys,
  but she'd lost them, right?

650
00:28:59,872 --> 00:29:01,338
Where did she get the number?

651
00:29:01,340 --> 00:29:02,823
BEN:
Fournier locks
had three keys--

652
00:29:02,824 --> 00:29:04,307
Cullen had one,
Alexandra Beckett had one.

653
00:29:04,310 --> 00:29:06,110
You think either of them gave
Mrs. Cullen the number?

654
00:29:06,112 --> 00:29:08,078
The son.

655
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,414
He gave it to her,
     or she helped herself.

656
00:29:11,984 --> 00:29:16,353
So Cullen was killed by his wife
    or by his wife and son.

657
00:29:16,355 --> 00:29:19,123
I don't even want
      to think about this.

658
00:29:19,125 --> 00:29:20,824
We pick him up
as an accessory--

659
00:29:20,826 --> 00:29:22,092
maybe even a co-conspirator.

660
00:29:22,094 --> 00:29:23,994
He lied, Adam.
He knows something.

661
00:29:23,996 --> 00:29:28,365
Frank Lehrman won't let you deal
  the son against the mother.

662
00:29:28,367 --> 00:29:30,400
And maybe she copied
the number

663
00:29:30,402 --> 00:29:31,535
off her son's key.

664
00:29:31,537 --> 00:29:32,903
He doesn't know.

665
00:29:32,905 --> 00:29:34,004
We bring him the news.

666
00:29:34,006 --> 00:29:36,340
Suddenly sees Mom
        in a new light.

667
00:29:36,342 --> 00:29:37,641
Don't arrest him.

668
00:29:37,642 --> 00:29:38,941
I have to scare him.

669
00:29:38,944 --> 00:29:40,694
My office or the
                room at Riker's.

670
00:29:40,695 --> 00:29:42,445
The minute you call him,
he's going to call his mother,

671
00:29:42,448 --> 00:29:44,314
she's going to call
Frank Lehrman.

672
00:29:44,316 --> 00:29:45,849
And he's going to demand

673
00:29:45,850 --> 00:29:47,383
that the interview
take place in his office.

674
00:29:47,386 --> 00:29:48,886
You want to scare the kid?

675
00:29:48,888 --> 00:29:51,155
You put Cerreta and Logan
at the water cooler.

676
00:29:51,157 --> 00:29:55,926
If he doesn't break,
then read him his rights.

677
00:29:55,928 --> 00:29:57,361
Gestapo tactics, Stone?

678
00:29:57,363 --> 00:29:59,329
Two cops outside?

679
00:29:59,331 --> 00:30:00,898
Why not rubber hoses?

680
00:30:00,900 --> 00:30:02,866
We have reason
to believe

681
00:30:02,868 --> 00:30:05,569
that you are guilty
of criminal facilitation:

682
00:30:05,571 --> 00:30:07,070
providing your mother

683
00:30:07,072 --> 00:30:10,007
with the means to
             murder your father.

684
00:30:10,009 --> 00:30:12,209
What?

685
00:30:12,210 --> 00:30:14,410
This is the<i> minor</i> question
you wanted to ask?

686
00:30:14,413 --> 00:30:16,163
You had a key

687
00:30:16,164 --> 00:30:17,914
to your father's apartment,
didn't you?

688
00:30:17,917 --> 00:30:19,416
So?

689
00:30:19,418 --> 00:30:21,585
She got the serial
number off of your key.

690
00:30:21,587 --> 00:30:25,022
She had it made or
             you gave it to her.

691
00:30:25,024 --> 00:30:26,456
I... I didn't...

692
00:30:26,458 --> 00:30:28,892
She didn't have a key.

693
00:30:28,894 --> 00:30:31,428
A sworn statement
from the locksmith.

694
00:30:31,430 --> 00:30:33,397
That's it.
This interview has ended.

695
00:30:33,399 --> 00:30:35,165
STONE:
                 She didn't tell
                   you, did she?

696
00:30:35,167 --> 00:30:36,650
You don't have
to answer that.

697
00:30:36,651 --> 00:30:38,134
She had it made because she
    planned to kill your father.

698
00:30:38,137 --> 00:30:40,070
No, no, that's not
                  what she said.

699
00:30:40,072 --> 00:30:42,506
No, come on, that is not
admissible. Shut up.

700
00:30:42,508 --> 00:30:44,408
No, you shut up. You
         take your hands off him

701
00:30:44,410 --> 00:30:45,876
or I'll have you up on
          hindering prosecution.

702
00:30:45,878 --> 00:30:47,945
I'm this boy's lawyer.

703
00:30:47,947 --> 00:30:49,513
You're his mother's lawyer.

704
00:30:49,515 --> 00:30:50,981
And he and his mother have
            different interests.

705
00:30:50,983 --> 00:30:52,182
Isn't that right, Jamie?

706
00:30:52,184 --> 00:30:53,851
When you arrested her,

707
00:30:53,853 --> 00:30:58,021
she told me my dad
               let her in. Okay?

708
00:30:58,023 --> 00:30:59,489
She was just going over there

709
00:30:59,491 --> 00:31:01,391
to talk about getting
            back together again.

710
00:31:01,393 --> 00:31:04,561
She didn't know that Alexandra
          was going to be there.

711
00:31:07,233 --> 00:31:10,133
She didn't want
                to hurt anybody.

712
00:31:10,135 --> 00:31:13,537
She didn't... she
           didn't mean to do it.

713
00:31:16,208 --> 00:31:18,208
That's what she said.

714
00:31:18,210 --> 00:31:20,210
That's what...

715
00:31:20,212 --> 00:31:22,613
that's what she said.

716
00:31:29,221 --> 00:31:31,555
MAN:
I'm not his corporate attorney.

717
00:31:31,557 --> 00:31:34,992
I only represented
      Mr. Cullen in his divorce.

718
00:31:34,994 --> 00:31:36,493
What was the status
         of the divorce

719
00:31:36,495 --> 00:31:38,161
when Mr. Cullen was killed?

720
00:31:38,163 --> 00:31:39,429
LEHRMAN:
                      Objection.

721
00:31:39,431 --> 00:31:41,965
The attorney-client privilege
survives death.

722
00:31:41,967 --> 00:31:45,002
I'm asking about documents
     in the public record.

723
00:31:45,004 --> 00:31:47,437
On that basis only, proceed.

724
00:31:47,439 --> 00:31:49,506
MAN:
 The separation period was up.

725
00:31:49,508 --> 00:31:51,441
He signed the document,
          she didn't.

726
00:31:51,443 --> 00:31:53,410
She hit him with a dozen motions

727
00:31:53,412 --> 00:31:55,078
about his finances.

728
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,248
In your expert opinion,
    what does that indicate?

729
00:31:58,250 --> 00:31:59,449
Your Honor, is my hearing going

730
00:31:59,451 --> 00:32:01,585
or did Mr. Stone say
     about six seconds ago

731
00:32:01,587 --> 00:32:04,454
that he'd only ask
    about public documents?

732
00:32:04,456 --> 00:32:06,490
Mr. Gruen is an expert
     in divorce litigation,

733
00:32:06,492 --> 00:32:09,326
and I am not asking about
  discussions with his client.

734
00:32:09,328 --> 00:32:12,596
Your hearing is fine,
Mr. Lehrman. Sit down.

735
00:32:12,598 --> 00:32:16,166
STONE:
  What does it generally mean
         when one party

736
00:32:16,168 --> 00:32:18,402
in a divorce
     makes repeated motions

737
00:32:18,404 --> 00:32:21,538
against
   the other party's assets?

738
00:32:21,540 --> 00:32:23,473
She thought he was hiding money.

739
00:32:23,475 --> 00:32:25,442
Thank you.

740
00:32:25,444 --> 00:32:28,545
What did the documents
      you gave Mrs. Cullen

741
00:32:28,547 --> 00:32:31,181
say about Mr. Cullen's
      financial condition?

742
00:32:31,183 --> 00:32:32,582
They said
                   he was broke.

743
00:32:32,584 --> 00:32:35,185
Mr. Cullen provided
                  the documents.

744
00:32:35,187 --> 00:32:37,487
And, uh, how much
were you charging Mr. Cullen

745
00:32:37,489 --> 00:32:39,222
for your expert services?

746
00:32:39,224 --> 00:32:41,091
350 an hour.

747
00:32:41,093 --> 00:32:42,492
Nice work.

748
00:32:42,494 --> 00:32:44,594
How much did you bill him
just before he died?

749
00:32:44,596 --> 00:32:46,363
About $7,000.

750
00:32:46,365 --> 00:32:47,364
Did he pay that bill?

751
00:32:47,366 --> 00:32:48,365
He did.

752
00:32:48,367 --> 00:32:49,499
How?

753
00:32:49,501 --> 00:32:51,635
In cash.

754
00:32:51,637 --> 00:32:54,004
Alexandra Beckett
                     was my boss

755
00:32:54,006 --> 00:32:56,006
and she was my friend.

756
00:32:56,008 --> 00:32:59,042
Had you ever seen the defendant,
Melanie Cullen, before today?

757
00:33:00,512 --> 00:33:03,613
Yes, about six weeks
           before Alexandra died

758
00:33:03,615 --> 00:33:07,317
that woman walked onto our floor
         at Christie's.

759
00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:10,287
Alexandra stopped talking
        to the customer

760
00:33:10,289 --> 00:33:12,589
and she went into the office.

761
00:33:12,591 --> 00:33:15,592
She told me she didn't want
        to talk to her.

762
00:33:15,594 --> 00:33:18,195
Was that the first time
you'd seen the defendant?

763
00:33:18,197 --> 00:33:21,498
She came about two other times.

764
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:24,234
Once Alexandra
                        was off.

765
00:33:24,236 --> 00:33:25,602
Once she just hid.

766
00:33:25,604 --> 00:33:26,336
Thank you.

767
00:33:31,210 --> 00:33:34,311
Do you know how Miss Beckett
        met Mr. Cullen?

768
00:33:34,313 --> 00:33:36,546
He and his wife bought
      some Japanese prints

769
00:33:36,548 --> 00:33:38,548
at one of her sales.

770
00:33:38,550 --> 00:33:41,118
So isn't it possible
        that Mrs. Cullen

771
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,420
wanted to speak to Miss Beckett
     about upcoming sales?

772
00:33:43,422 --> 00:33:45,422
She was a collector,
wasn't she?

773
00:33:45,424 --> 00:33:48,291
Mrs. Cullen didn't have
           any money.

774
00:33:50,662 --> 00:33:52,229
Did the defendant
        ask specifically

775
00:33:52,231 --> 00:33:53,663
to see Miss Beckett's apartment?

776
00:33:53,665 --> 00:33:55,665
Yeah. Her, the defendant.

777
00:33:55,667 --> 00:33:58,335
She said she was looking
         for a studio.

778
00:33:58,337 --> 00:34:00,203
I say, "I'm the super.

779
00:34:00,205 --> 00:34:02,339
You want the rental agent."

780
00:34:02,341 --> 00:34:04,474
Anyway, there's no vacancies.

781
00:34:04,476 --> 00:34:06,610
She says,
   "Here's a hundred bucks."

782
00:34:06,612 --> 00:34:09,212
STONE:
    What was the money for?

783
00:34:09,214 --> 00:34:12,282
SUPERINTENDENT:
        She wants to see
   Miss Beckett's apartment.

784
00:34:12,284 --> 00:34:14,317
Heard she was moving out.

785
00:34:14,319 --> 00:34:17,554
I said, "Maybe, but not
   for a couple months yet."

786
00:34:17,556 --> 00:34:19,523
She says, "Here's 200."

787
00:34:19,525 --> 00:34:21,525
I wouldn't show her.

788
00:34:21,527 --> 00:34:23,326
Thank you.

789
00:34:25,230 --> 00:34:28,198
Mr. Kolvino, hasn't anybody
ever paid you

790
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,634
to look at an apartment before?

791
00:34:30,636 --> 00:34:33,570
Sure, but not in this market.

792
00:34:35,107 --> 00:34:36,540
You almost feel sorry for her.

793
00:34:36,542 --> 00:34:38,642
SCHIFF:
            I trust the key word
                    is "almost."

794
00:34:38,644 --> 00:34:40,477
Paul, two months
after my divorce,

795
00:34:40,479 --> 00:34:42,412
I wanted to kill my wife.
I didn't.

796
00:34:42,414 --> 00:34:45,282
SCHIFF:
            50% of the marriages
end in divorce.

797
00:34:45,284 --> 00:34:46,450
Everybody starts shooting,

798
00:34:46,452 --> 00:34:48,485
a quarter of the population
            is dead.

799
00:34:48,487 --> 00:34:50,220
Don't count on that jury.

800
00:34:50,222 --> 00:34:52,689
But my premeditation case--
halfway there.

801
00:34:52,691 --> 00:34:55,725
The son testifies,
Melanie Cullen is gone.

802
00:34:58,630 --> 00:35:02,232
Two years on the job.

803
00:35:02,234 --> 00:35:03,600
My first murder case.

804
00:35:03,602 --> 00:35:06,736
I said to myself, "The jury will
     be out in 30 minutes.

805
00:35:06,738 --> 00:35:08,638
Guilty."

806
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,373
And a day later

807
00:35:10,375 --> 00:35:12,142
they acquitted.

808
00:35:12,144 --> 00:35:14,678
Six days. They convicted.

809
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,546
A lousy six days.

810
00:35:16,548 --> 00:35:19,149
(<i> phone ringing</i> )

811
00:35:19,151 --> 00:35:22,185
Yes?

812
00:35:23,555 --> 00:35:26,156
Tell him he'll call him back.

813
00:35:26,158 --> 00:35:27,757
Thank you.

814
00:35:29,561 --> 00:35:31,661
Lehrman wants to talk.

815
00:35:31,663 --> 00:35:34,664
You get a decent deal, take it.

816
00:35:34,666 --> 00:35:37,567
Manslaughter two. One count.

817
00:35:37,569 --> 00:35:39,503
Two dead bodies. Two counts.

818
00:35:39,505 --> 00:35:41,271
Manslaughter one. 15 Years.

819
00:35:41,273 --> 00:35:44,708
Maybe the jury believes
she was following Miss Beckett,

820
00:35:44,710 --> 00:35:47,744
but she was acting crazy
        when she did it.

821
00:35:47,746 --> 00:35:49,546
Six years.

822
00:35:51,450 --> 00:35:53,750
12 years. End of conversation.

823
00:35:53,752 --> 00:35:56,286
Look, you're not going
       to get anyplace...

824
00:35:56,288 --> 00:35:57,687
Melanie...

825
00:35:57,689 --> 00:36:00,290
Please...

826
00:36:00,292 --> 00:36:02,559
12 years in jail?

827
00:36:02,561 --> 00:36:05,395
I'd be an old woman.

828
00:36:05,397 --> 00:36:07,397
That's more

829
00:36:07,399 --> 00:36:09,633
than Alexandra Beckett will be.

830
00:36:09,635 --> 00:36:15,705
I gave him my life
and he just threw it away.

831
00:36:15,707 --> 00:36:21,578
Look, I am not a used piece
    of furniture, Mr. Stone.

832
00:36:21,580 --> 00:36:24,614
I'm not some end table
        that you replace

833
00:36:24,616 --> 00:36:28,752
because it gets nicks and chips
     and the styles change.

834
00:36:28,754 --> 00:36:31,521
And so you shot your husband.

835
00:36:37,596 --> 00:36:40,697
I hadn't planned to kill him.

836
00:36:40,699 --> 00:36:43,366
You know what, Mrs. Cullen?

837
00:36:43,368 --> 00:36:45,869
I don't believe you.

838
00:36:49,374 --> 00:36:52,342
There are women on the jury.

839
00:36:52,344 --> 00:36:54,744
They'll believe me.

840
00:36:54,746 --> 00:36:58,582
I won't be a victim anymore.

841
00:37:04,256 --> 00:37:07,257
STONE:
                Did she tell you
             how she killed him?

842
00:37:07,259 --> 00:37:11,294
She knew my father's gun
was in the dresser.

843
00:37:11,296 --> 00:37:13,630
STONE:
Did you have a key
to your father's apartment?

844
00:37:13,632 --> 00:37:16,366
Yes.

845
00:37:16,368 --> 00:37:18,768
Did you ever give that key

846
00:37:18,770 --> 00:37:20,437
to your mother?

847
00:37:22,608 --> 00:37:24,341
No.

848
00:37:24,343 --> 00:37:25,709
She had her own.

849
00:37:28,413 --> 00:37:29,913
What?

850
00:37:42,361 --> 00:37:43,793
You are under oath,
          Mr. Cullen.

851
00:37:43,795 --> 00:37:47,530
My father told me
 to give her the serial number

852
00:37:47,532 --> 00:37:49,599
so she could make a copy

853
00:37:49,601 --> 00:37:52,636
so she could move out
     the rest of her things

854
00:37:52,638 --> 00:37:54,337
whenever she wanted.

855
00:37:58,577 --> 00:38:00,343
Recess, Your Honor.

856
00:38:00,345 --> 00:38:01,444
Recess. Ten minutes.

857
00:38:01,446 --> 00:38:02,779
(<i> bangs gavel</i> )

858
00:38:09,488 --> 00:38:10,487
She got to him.

859
00:38:10,489 --> 00:38:11,554
She's his mother.

860
00:38:11,556 --> 00:38:12,922
I don't know
who to slam first--

861
00:38:12,924 --> 00:38:14,691
the kid for perjury
    or Lehrman for suborning.

862
00:38:14,693 --> 00:38:16,426
He gave us the gun--
without his testimony,

863
00:38:16,428 --> 00:38:17,878
we didn't have
a murder weapon.

864
00:38:17,879 --> 00:38:19,329
Without the key, we've
           got no premeditation.

865
00:38:19,331 --> 00:38:20,931
Look, go easy, Ben.

866
00:38:20,932 --> 00:38:22,532
To the jury, he's half way
to being an orphan.

867
00:38:22,534 --> 00:38:23,700
You're trying
to finish the job.

868
00:38:23,702 --> 00:38:24,801
Please, just get
                the deposition.

869
00:38:26,838 --> 00:38:28,838
"I didn't know my mother
           had a..."

870
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,807
Louder, Mr. Cullen.

871
00:38:30,809 --> 00:38:33,710
"If she copied my key,
           she did so

872
00:38:33,712 --> 00:38:35,612
without my knowledge."

873
00:38:35,614 --> 00:38:36,846
Did you sign that?

874
00:38:36,848 --> 00:38:38,581
I said what you wanted.
        You confused me.

875
00:38:38,583 --> 00:38:40,717
Confused you? How old
           are you, Mr. Cullen?

876
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,852
Twenty-two.
                And when did you
          graduate from college?

877
00:38:42,854 --> 00:38:44,421
My father was murdered.

878
00:38:44,423 --> 00:38:45,522
You brought
policemen with you.

879
00:38:45,523 --> 00:38:46,622
You said you were
       going to arrest me

880
00:38:46,625 --> 00:38:47,924
if I didn't say
    what you wanted to hear.

881
00:38:47,926 --> 00:38:50,860
STONE:
That has nothing to do
with the proceedings.

882
00:38:50,862 --> 00:38:53,463
Now what? You want to put
Cerreta and Logan on the stand?

883
00:38:53,465 --> 00:38:54,931
They're going to say
     sure they were there,

884
00:38:54,933 --> 00:38:56,466
they were smiling
        the whole time.

885
00:38:56,468 --> 00:38:57,500
I shouldn't have taken them.

886
00:38:57,502 --> 00:38:58,702
You wanted to arrest the kid.

887
00:38:58,704 --> 00:39:00,370
It would look terrific
           to a jury.

888
00:39:00,372 --> 00:39:01,955
They'll convict you.

889
00:39:01,956 --> 00:39:03,539
Why if we put Lehrman
         on the stand?

890
00:39:03,542 --> 00:39:04,874
He's not the kid's attorney,

891
00:39:04,876 --> 00:39:06,609
and I don't think
     he'd perjure himself.

892
00:39:06,611 --> 00:39:07,877
Oh, that's beautiful.

893
00:39:07,879 --> 00:39:10,013
A defense attorney as a witness.

894
00:39:10,015 --> 00:39:11,481
Judge Becky Stein.

895
00:39:11,483 --> 00:39:13,750
Not going to happen.
          Let it drop.

896
00:39:13,752 --> 00:39:15,618
Lehrman's changed
his witness list.

897
00:39:15,620 --> 00:39:17,420
Mrs. Cullen's up first.

898
00:39:17,422 --> 00:39:18,939
Oh, great.

899
00:39:18,940 --> 00:39:20,457
Get out your handkerchiefs.

900
00:39:21,026 --> 00:39:24,761
I just went over
                to talk to him.

901
00:39:24,763 --> 00:39:27,497
I thought things
            were getting better.

902
00:39:27,499 --> 00:39:31,735
I thought we might
              get back together.

903
00:39:31,737 --> 00:39:34,771
We had 25 years.

904
00:39:34,773 --> 00:39:37,040
You knew he'd been
seeing someone else?

905
00:39:37,042 --> 00:39:38,775
A little fling.

906
00:39:38,777 --> 00:39:40,477
Men do that.

907
00:39:40,479 --> 00:39:43,513
But you did not know

908
00:39:43,515 --> 00:39:45,415
she would be there?

909
00:39:45,417 --> 00:39:46,516
No.

910
00:39:46,518 --> 00:39:49,052
And then I saw her in my...

911
00:39:52,524 --> 00:39:54,457
in my bed.

912
00:39:54,459 --> 00:39:57,994
She told me to get out

913
00:39:57,996 --> 00:40:00,430
of<i> my</i> bedroom.

914
00:40:00,432 --> 00:40:02,532
And I saw my...

915
00:40:04,803 --> 00:40:07,604
I knew it was all over.

916
00:40:07,606 --> 00:40:08,872
I'd been kidding myself.

917
00:40:08,874 --> 00:40:13,009
Over-the-hill, middle-aged woman
        kidding herself

918
00:40:13,011 --> 00:40:17,847
and this young, rich girl
         looking at me.

919
00:40:17,849 --> 00:40:20,884
I felt so pathetic.

920
00:40:20,886 --> 00:40:24,754
So pathetic!

921
00:40:24,756 --> 00:40:28,725
I wanted to kill myself.

922
00:40:28,727 --> 00:40:30,927
That's all...

923
00:40:32,497 --> 00:40:35,064
that's all I remember.

924
00:40:35,066 --> 00:40:36,533
I'm sorry.

925
00:40:36,535 --> 00:40:38,635
I'm so sorry.

926
00:40:44,009 --> 00:40:45,775
Your witness.

927
00:40:55,754 --> 00:40:58,688
Mrs. Cullen...

928
00:40:58,690 --> 00:41:01,624
Mrs. Cullen?

929
00:41:01,626 --> 00:41:03,960
How many times
      did you shoot them?

930
00:41:03,962 --> 00:41:05,562
I don't remember.

931
00:41:08,733 --> 00:41:13,736
Do you remember asking your son
to lie the night of the murder?

932
00:41:13,738 --> 00:41:15,138
I was afraid.

933
00:41:15,140 --> 00:41:17,607
I'm sorry.

934
00:41:17,609 --> 00:41:22,545
Do you remember asking your son
 to lie for you at this trial?

935
00:41:25,016 --> 00:41:28,818
I told him to tell the truth.

936
00:41:33,758 --> 00:41:35,725
Nothing matters.

937
00:41:37,062 --> 00:41:39,562
Nothing matters anymore.

938
00:41:44,536 --> 00:41:46,035
You want to do what?

939
00:41:46,037 --> 00:41:47,770
Juries like to compromise.

940
00:41:47,772 --> 00:41:50,039
If they can choose between
    murder two, manslaughter

941
00:41:50,041 --> 00:41:51,774
or acquittal,
  they'll choose manslaughter.

942
00:41:51,776 --> 00:41:53,710
Good. She'll go to prison.

943
00:41:55,780 --> 00:41:57,547
For four years.

944
00:41:57,549 --> 00:41:59,148
For two deaths.

945
00:41:59,150 --> 00:42:01,718
If we drop
    the manslaughter charge

946
00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:03,052
they'll pick murder.

947
00:42:03,054 --> 00:42:04,554
25 to life.

948
00:42:04,556 --> 00:42:05,788
Or they'll acquit.

949
00:42:05,790 --> 00:42:07,056
She's a cold-blooded killer.

950
00:42:07,058 --> 00:42:08,157
She could walk.

951
00:42:08,159 --> 00:42:09,792
My case has made premeditation.

952
00:42:09,794 --> 00:42:11,127
The jury won't let that happen.

953
00:42:11,129 --> 00:42:15,064
Pride goeth before a fall.

954
00:42:15,066 --> 00:42:18,868
I'll send you flowers
  in the intensive care unit.

955
00:42:23,942 --> 00:42:25,808
I can't do it, Ben.

956
00:42:25,810 --> 00:42:27,777
The evidence cuts both ways.

957
00:42:27,779 --> 00:42:29,946
It is within
our discretion,

958
00:42:29,948 --> 00:42:32,048
so the people request
the manslaughter counts

959
00:42:32,050 --> 00:42:34,083
not be submitted
to the jury.

960
00:42:34,085 --> 00:42:37,220
You drop manslaughter
and the jury convicts on murder

961
00:42:37,222 --> 00:42:38,721
automatic appeal.

962
00:42:38,723 --> 00:42:40,623
STONE:
Not if you don't object.

963
00:42:40,625 --> 00:42:43,192
I am representing Mrs. Cullen.

964
00:42:43,194 --> 00:42:45,995
If the jury believes her and
the manslaughter counts are gone

965
00:42:45,997 --> 00:42:47,096
she goes home
      tomorrow afternoon.

966
00:42:47,098 --> 00:42:49,699
If he accepts this, Ben

967
00:42:49,701 --> 00:42:52,068
I'm going to make it
        absolutely clear

968
00:42:52,070 --> 00:42:55,204
they must believe
  beyond a scintilla of doubt

969
00:42:55,206 --> 00:42:57,840
that she committed
      premeditated murder

970
00:42:57,842 --> 00:42:59,108
or they acquit.

971
00:43:00,979 --> 00:43:03,112
Beyond a scintilla?

972
00:43:03,114 --> 00:43:05,915
A mini-scintilla.

973
00:43:10,689 --> 00:43:13,823
Was Mrs. Cullen confused,
      emotional, suicidal?

974
00:43:13,825 --> 00:43:17,026
This is what Melanie Cullen did.

975
00:43:17,028 --> 00:43:19,062
She stalked Alexandra Beckett.

976
00:43:19,064 --> 00:43:22,031
She had a key made
        to the new lock

977
00:43:22,033 --> 00:43:24,901
on Edward Cullen's apartment.

978
00:43:24,903 --> 00:43:27,770
She went there after dark
      and let herself in.

979
00:43:27,772 --> 00:43:31,174
She helped herself
to the gun

980
00:43:31,176 --> 00:43:32,976
that she knew was there.

981
00:43:34,879 --> 00:43:36,879
She ran away.

982
00:43:36,881 --> 00:43:38,881
She disposed of the gun.

983
00:43:38,883 --> 00:43:42,752
She convinced her son
   to give her a phony alibi.

984
00:43:42,754 --> 00:43:45,755
She lied to the police.

985
00:43:45,757 --> 00:43:48,791
She lied to her son.

986
00:43:48,793 --> 00:43:50,860
She lied to you.

987
00:43:52,831 --> 00:43:55,698
She shot and killed two people

988
00:43:55,700 --> 00:44:01,304
in an act
 of cold and calculated murder.

989
00:44:04,976 --> 00:44:07,944
Don't let her get away with it.

990
00:44:12,917 --> 00:44:14,250
The question is not whether

991
00:44:14,252 --> 00:44:18,254
the defendant killed
  Mr. Cullen and Miss Beckett.

992
00:44:18,256 --> 00:44:20,990
The only question
       for you to resolve

993
00:44:20,992 --> 00:44:23,893
is that of her state of mind.

994
00:44:23,895 --> 00:44:28,164
You must find,
beyond any reasonable doubt

995
00:44:28,166 --> 00:44:30,166
that she did not act

996
00:44:30,168 --> 00:44:35,938
under the influence of
extreme emotional disturbance.

997
00:44:35,940 --> 00:44:39,275
You must find that she did
intend with premeditation

998
00:44:39,277 --> 00:44:41,210
to cause the deaths

999
00:44:41,212 --> 00:44:43,846
of two people

1000
00:44:43,848 --> 00:44:46,949
or you must find her not guilty.

1001
00:44:48,787 --> 00:44:53,256
Never seen you
like this before.

1002
00:44:53,258 --> 00:44:57,326
I have never done anything
this potentially stupid before.

1003
00:44:57,328 --> 00:44:59,862
I just pray to god

1004
00:44:59,864 --> 00:45:03,266
that when I get out of here,
       I'm not competing

1005
00:45:03,268 --> 00:45:06,002
with Melanie Cullen
       for an uptown cab.

1006
00:45:06,004 --> 00:45:10,139
The jury just finished dinner
catered from Walter's.

1007
00:45:10,141 --> 00:45:13,142
Hope you don't have
a lousy six days.

1008
00:45:13,144 --> 00:45:15,878
Well, it's four hours.
          It's already lousy.

1009
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:17,113
Good night, gentlemen.

He's pacing, too.

1017
00:45:39,771 --> 00:45:42,004
He'll take two counts
          of man one.

1018

She'll do
nine years.

1019
00:45:43,875 --> 00:45:44,874
It's more than four.

1020
00:45:44,876 --> 00:45:46,943
Less than 25.

1021

Your case.

1022

And my stomach.

1023
00:46:00,425 --> 00:46:02,391
Deal.

1024
00:46:06,164 --> 00:46:08,831
Your role was no less crucial

1025
00:46:08,833 --> 00:46:10,933
because your verdict
       was not required.
