00:00:00,668 --> 00:00:03,202
<i>In the criminal justice system,</i>

2
00:00:03,204 --> 00:00:04,887
<i> the people are represented</i>

3
00:00:04,888 --> 00:00:06,571
<i> by two separate</i>
 <i> yet equally important groups:</i>

4
00:00:06,574 --> 00:00:08,474
<i> the police,</i>
    <i> who investigate crime</i>

5
00:00:08,476 --> 00:00:11,377
<i> and the district attorneys,</i>
  <i> who prosecute the offenders.</i>

6
00:00:11,379 --> 00:00:15,314
<i> These are their stories.</i>

7
00:00:15,316 --> 00:00:18,083
Mrs. Schwinger
     on the fourth floor's

8
00:00:18,085 --> 00:00:20,219
been complaining
       three times a day.

9
00:00:20,221 --> 00:00:21,387
So it's slow.

10
00:00:21,389 --> 00:00:23,055
What's her rush,
                    anyway?

11
00:00:23,057 --> 00:00:25,024
It's not the controls.

12
00:00:25,026 --> 00:00:26,025
Gears?

13
00:00:26,027 --> 00:00:27,259
Or the brakes
jamming.

14
00:00:27,261 --> 00:00:28,794
It's probably kids.

15
00:00:28,796 --> 00:00:31,163
Bozos call it
elevator surfing.

16
00:00:31,165 --> 00:00:34,166
Ride the tops,
jump from one to the other.

17
00:00:34,168 --> 00:00:36,168
Give me a flashlight,
will you?

18
00:00:36,170 --> 00:00:38,170
I just don't want
               any lawsuits.

19
00:00:38,172 --> 00:00:40,105
I been here 12 years.

20
00:00:40,107 --> 00:00:41,340
Never opened.

21
00:00:41,342 --> 00:00:45,210
Going to have to take it
     down to the basement.

22
00:00:45,212 --> 00:00:47,046
Lower it slow.

23
00:00:49,216 --> 00:00:50,516
You Local 196?

24
00:00:50,518 --> 00:00:52,351
Wouldn't work if I wasn't.

25
00:00:52,353 --> 00:00:54,620
My brother-in-law,
              20 years of dues.

26
00:00:54,622 --> 00:00:56,822
Now he's
                in St. Thomas...

27
00:00:56,824 --> 00:00:59,058
Oh, my God.

28
00:00:59,060 --> 00:01:01,093
Stop the damn thing.

29
00:01:07,568 --> 00:01:09,134
This is preliminary.

30
00:01:09,136 --> 00:01:10,469
CERRETA:
We're listening.

31
00:01:10,471 --> 00:01:12,071
Death by strangulation.

32
00:01:12,073 --> 00:01:13,338
Looks like a wire.

33
00:01:13,340 --> 00:01:16,341
Premortem cuts and abrasions
            on the face.

34
00:01:16,343 --> 00:01:17,476
She fought back.

35
00:01:17,478 --> 00:01:18,844
I bagged her hands

36
00:01:18,846 --> 00:01:21,246
in case there's anything
            under her nails.

37
00:01:21,248 --> 00:01:23,182
She's partially
                 out of rigor.

38
00:01:23,184 --> 00:01:25,284
She's been dead
                 24 to 36 hours.

39
00:01:25,286 --> 00:01:26,485
Monday night.

40
00:01:26,487 --> 00:01:28,854
Mr. Hellman,

41
00:01:28,856 --> 00:01:31,156
have you ever
                seen her before?

42
00:01:31,158 --> 00:01:33,358
Yeah. Judy Bream, 3B.

43
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,160
She live alone?

44
00:01:35,162 --> 00:01:36,161
Yeah. Alone.

45
00:01:36,163 --> 00:01:37,563
you do--
Here's what

46
00:01:37,565 --> 00:01:40,499
first, let those men
     into Judy's apartment

47
00:01:40,501 --> 00:01:43,502
then later I'll have
    some questions for you.

48
00:01:43,504 --> 00:01:45,537
Does this sound familiar?

49
00:01:45,539 --> 00:01:48,173
Young woman, nude,
strangled with wire

50
00:01:48,175 --> 00:01:51,643
duct tape on her face,
body tossed like garbage.

51
00:01:51,645 --> 00:01:54,246
East River Park,
                six months ago.

52
00:01:54,248 --> 00:01:55,581
Same guy?

53
00:01:55,583 --> 00:01:57,116
Could be.

54
00:01:57,118 --> 00:02:00,152
That would be number two
            in a series of...

55
00:02:00,154 --> 00:02:04,156
Well, it depends on how late
in his game we're coming in.

56
00:02:33,621 --> 00:02:37,556
<font color="
NBC/UNIVERSAL

57
00:03:37,985 --> 00:03:40,586
She was a grad student
at Columbia.

58
00:03:40,588 --> 00:03:42,988
Some kind of ancient
history, I think.

59
00:03:42,990 --> 00:03:45,958
Moved in about
a year and a half ago.

60
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,693
Family lives
in Hartford.

61
00:03:47,695 --> 00:03:49,561
Old man cosigned
the lease.

62
00:03:49,563 --> 00:03:51,496
What kind of tenant
was she?

63
00:03:51,498 --> 00:03:52,497
A doll.

64
00:03:52,499 --> 00:03:54,633
If they were
all like her...

65
00:03:54,635 --> 00:03:56,235
What about boyfriends?

66
00:03:56,237 --> 00:03:57,636
I don't keep track.

67
00:03:57,638 --> 00:03:59,705
Anyway, when you're
            young and beautiful,

68
00:03:59,707 --> 00:04:01,640
who wants to be alone?

69
00:04:01,642 --> 00:04:03,008
Tell me about
this building, okay?

70
00:04:03,010 --> 00:04:05,744
Anybody hanging around
who didn't belong?

71
00:04:05,746 --> 00:04:07,479
On the Upper West Side?

72
00:04:07,481 --> 00:04:08,747
You want them all

73
00:04:08,749 --> 00:04:12,584
or just the ones
        that talk to themselves?

74
00:04:12,586 --> 00:04:14,519
No sign of forcible entry.

75
00:04:14,521 --> 00:04:17,522
Must have been somebody
she knew or expected.

76
00:04:17,524 --> 00:04:19,591
There's nothing
               about it in here.

77
00:04:19,593 --> 00:04:23,528
This whole week's marked off
    as being in Connecticut.

78
00:04:23,530 --> 00:04:25,597
Her folks live in Hartford.

79
00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:27,399
Last couple
of months

80
00:04:27,401 --> 00:04:31,003
two doctor's visits,
            a paper, three exams

81
00:04:31,005 --> 00:04:33,672
one potluck dinner.

82
00:04:33,674 --> 00:04:36,675
Found it on the floor
           near the bed.

83
00:04:36,677 --> 00:04:39,044
Wrapper for
    a Polaroid cartridge.

84
00:04:39,046 --> 00:04:40,479
She have a camera?

85
00:04:40,481 --> 00:04:41,947
Didn't find one.

86
00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:43,414
Think our boy's
                 a shutterbug?

87
00:04:43,417 --> 00:04:44,549
Some are.

88
00:04:44,551 --> 00:04:47,286
Helps them to remember
the good times.

89
00:04:50,691 --> 00:04:52,991
Let's hope
        this is a coincidence.

90
00:04:52,993 --> 00:04:54,559
I don't think so.

91
00:04:54,561 --> 00:04:57,696
We turned up a third vic
three months ago in Queens.

92
00:04:57,698 --> 00:05:02,301
All three
    taped, strangled, tossed.

93
00:05:02,303 --> 00:05:03,302
Rape?

94
00:05:03,304 --> 00:05:04,803
No evidence of penetration.

95
00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:06,571
Three kills
in six months.

96
00:05:06,573 --> 00:05:08,740
Slow but consistent.

97
00:05:08,742 --> 00:05:10,042
Oh, man.

98
00:05:11,445 --> 00:05:13,929
All right.

99
00:05:13,930 --> 00:05:16,414
Nothing to encourage this guy
to pick up the pace.

100
00:05:16,417 --> 00:05:17,582
No press.

101
00:05:17,584 --> 00:05:19,084
I want to keep this
off the books.

102
00:05:19,085 --> 00:05:20,585
Anything you need,
you come directly to me.

103
00:05:20,587 --> 00:05:23,588
Did he leave us
anything at all to go on?

104
00:05:23,590 --> 00:05:25,590
Autopsy report...

105
00:05:25,592 --> 00:05:28,093
says digestion
        on her stomach contents

106
00:05:28,095 --> 00:05:29,661
puts the time of death

107
00:05:29,663 --> 00:05:32,664
between 7:00 and 8:00
            Monday night.

108
00:05:32,666 --> 00:05:34,833
Other than that,
                we got<i> nada.</i>

109
00:05:34,835 --> 00:05:37,102
No prints,
            no fluids, no hairs.

110
00:05:37,104 --> 00:05:39,104
Regular angel of death.

111
00:05:39,106 --> 00:05:40,672
The last one--
Judy Bream--

112
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:42,607
he tossed down
the elevator shaft.

113
00:05:42,609 --> 00:05:44,042
And?

114
00:05:44,044 --> 00:05:45,610
You need a special key.

115
00:05:45,612 --> 00:05:48,580
Elevator repairmen,
          firemen, electricians.

116
00:05:48,582 --> 00:05:50,482
Great. So, that narrows it
         down to, what?

117
00:05:50,484 --> 00:05:52,034
About 100,000 suspects?

118
00:05:52,035 --> 00:05:53,585
Hey, the guys in Brooklyn
       were lucky, huh?

119
00:05:53,587 --> 00:05:55,721
They got the Son of Sam
         on parking tickets.

120
00:05:55,723 --> 00:05:58,623
Yeah. Six months
     and six bodies later.

121
00:05:58,625 --> 00:06:00,092
(<i> phone buzzes</i> )

122
00:06:00,094 --> 00:06:01,560
What?

123
00:06:02,696 --> 00:06:03,695
Yeah.

124
00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:04,763
Thanks.

125
00:06:06,667 --> 00:06:09,101
The Breams are outside.

126
00:06:09,103 --> 00:06:11,570
You want to do it
in here?

127
00:06:11,572 --> 00:06:12,637
No.

128
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:14,706
Let's take
an interrogation room.

129
00:06:23,450 --> 00:06:25,517
I told her
                  she'd be safer

130
00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:28,553
in one of the university
            residences,

131
00:06:28,555 --> 00:06:29,788
but, uh...

132
00:06:29,790 --> 00:06:31,556
she knew better.

133
00:06:31,558 --> 00:06:33,825
Had to have
her own place.

134
00:06:33,827 --> 00:06:35,660
(<i> sighs</i> )

135
00:06:35,662 --> 00:06:38,530
Judy was never afraid
        of anything

136
00:06:38,532 --> 00:06:40,866
not even as a child.

137
00:06:42,669 --> 00:06:47,672
We know that Judy was supposed
  to spend the week with you.

138
00:06:47,674 --> 00:06:50,809
Was there any reason
that those plans were changed?

139
00:06:50,811 --> 00:06:54,880
She got a call Sunday afternoon
up at our house--

140
00:06:54,882 --> 00:06:59,918
someone connected
       with the building.

141
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:02,554
MRS. BREAM:
I heard...

142
00:07:02,556 --> 00:07:05,557
I heard her call him Mr. Cook.

143
00:07:05,559 --> 00:07:08,593
Um... some work had to be done.

144
00:07:08,595 --> 00:07:11,496
Do you know what kind of work?

145
00:07:12,566 --> 00:07:13,932
No.

146
00:07:13,934 --> 00:07:15,567
Something electrical.

147
00:07:16,670 --> 00:07:18,804
With the wiring.

148
00:07:18,806 --> 00:07:20,605
They...

149
00:07:20,607 --> 00:07:22,507
(<i> sobbing</i> )

150
00:07:27,181 --> 00:07:30,615
They had to move
    the furniture.

151
00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:33,718
At least
    that's what Judy said.

152
00:07:36,523 --> 00:07:38,590
Would Judy have told
      the building manager

153
00:07:38,592 --> 00:07:39,891
how to reach her
       up in Connecticut?

154
00:07:39,893 --> 00:07:41,660
MR. BREAM:
                  No. She didn't
have to.

155
00:07:41,662 --> 00:07:43,895
Her calls were forwarded.

156
00:07:43,897 --> 00:07:46,731
Her phone, was it...?

157
00:07:46,733 --> 00:07:48,600
Was it listed?

158
00:07:49,937 --> 00:07:51,203
No.

159
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:54,873
I thought it would be safer.

160
00:07:54,875 --> 00:07:56,875
(<i> Mrs. Bream sobbing softly</i> )

161
00:07:56,877 --> 00:07:59,010
All three were killed
      in their apartments.

162
00:07:59,012 --> 00:08:01,913
But the first two were dumped
    at least half mile away,

163
00:08:01,915 --> 00:08:04,182
while Judy Bream was
           left in her building.

164
00:08:04,184 --> 00:08:05,183
Why?

165
00:08:05,185 --> 00:08:06,418
He's in a rush.

166
00:08:06,419 --> 00:08:07,652
Couldn't get her
out of the building.

167
00:08:07,654 --> 00:08:09,121
It doesn't make sense.

168
00:08:09,122 --> 00:08:10,589
It would be easier to leave
     them in their apartments.

169
00:08:10,591 --> 00:08:11,590
He does it, Phil.

170
00:08:11,592 --> 00:08:12,757
It's got to mean
something, Phil.

171
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:15,694
What?
      Power? Degradation?

172
00:08:15,696 --> 00:08:16,695
A sense of finality?

173
00:08:16,697 --> 00:08:17,696
Okay,
                         thanks.

174
00:08:17,698 --> 00:08:18,964
If this guy knew these girls,

175
00:08:18,966 --> 00:08:21,633
it wasn't because
    he changed their fuses.

176
00:08:21,635 --> 00:08:23,535
Their buildings were serviced

177
00:08:23,537 --> 00:08:25,770
by three different
    electrical contractors.

178
00:08:25,772 --> 00:08:27,772
There's got to be a connection.

179
00:08:27,774 --> 00:08:29,641
He picks
these girls.

180
00:08:29,643 --> 00:08:30,775
Volunteer work--

181
00:08:30,777 --> 00:08:32,911
Judy Bream
     did three hours a week

182
00:08:32,913 --> 00:08:35,247
at the Stuart Counseling Center
         in the Bronx.

183
00:08:35,249 --> 00:08:38,216
Debra Beckett did United Way
        every Christmas.

184
00:08:38,218 --> 00:08:41,052
A couple of times a year
at a soup kitchen.

185
00:08:41,054 --> 00:08:43,522
Sandy Markham,
                no charity work.

186
00:08:43,524 --> 00:08:44,623
Lots of political.

187
00:08:44,625 --> 00:08:47,659
Canvassed for
        Senator Peppino in '90.

188
00:08:47,661 --> 00:08:50,762
Registered "not interested."

189
00:08:50,764 --> 00:08:52,864
State politics
in Connecticut.

190
00:08:52,866 --> 00:08:55,534
Sport club membership,
       Columbia athletic.

191
00:08:55,536 --> 00:08:56,668
Racquetball every day.

192
00:08:56,670 --> 00:08:59,738
Mine goes to the Downtown Y.

193
00:08:59,740 --> 00:09:01,306
Not a jock.

194
00:09:01,308 --> 00:09:02,941
Repeated visits

195
00:09:02,943 --> 00:09:05,744
to Dr. Phillip Banks,
OB-GYN.

196
00:09:05,746 --> 00:09:06,811
Who?

197
00:09:06,813 --> 00:09:08,680
Phillip Banks.

198
00:09:08,682 --> 00:09:11,016
You got, uh...

199
00:09:11,018 --> 00:09:13,051
you got Bream's

200
00:09:13,053 --> 00:09:14,819
appointment book?

201
00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:21,626
She was seeing a doctor.

202
00:09:23,931 --> 00:09:25,664
In November.

203
00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:30,936
November 24,
    Dr. P. Banks, 9:00 A.M.

204
00:09:30,938 --> 00:09:32,604
What about your Queens lady?

205
00:09:37,711 --> 00:09:39,311
He... Crap.

206
00:09:39,313 --> 00:09:41,046
It's not a match.

207
00:09:41,048 --> 00:09:44,349
Dr. Charles Cohen,
              Forest Hills.

208
00:09:44,351 --> 00:09:46,985
Still, we got two out of three.

209
00:09:48,589 --> 00:09:50,589
It's worth a look.

210
00:09:52,726 --> 00:09:54,793
Well, Marcus Welby he's not.

211
00:09:54,795 --> 00:09:57,596
One assault charge
        three years ago.

212
00:09:57,598 --> 00:09:59,731
He pleaded down
       to a misdemeanor.

213
00:09:59,733 --> 00:10:01,833
Complainant was his ex-wife.
           Dig this.

214
00:10:01,835 --> 00:10:05,704
Broke her jaw during
a marriage counseling session.

215
00:10:05,706 --> 00:10:08,673
This man is a lover
         <i> and</i> a fighter.

216
00:10:08,675 --> 00:10:10,075
The AMA has received

217
00:10:10,077 --> 00:10:12,377
over a dozen complaints
         against Banks.

218
00:10:12,379 --> 00:10:15,013
Former patients,
their husbands--

219
00:10:15,015 --> 00:10:16,381
the doc likes to play around

220
00:10:16,382 --> 00:10:17,748
while his patients
      are in the stirrups.

221
00:10:17,751 --> 00:10:19,017
He still has a license?

222
00:10:19,019 --> 00:10:20,085
Protect thine own.

223
00:10:20,087 --> 00:10:23,154
The AMA refused to pursue.

224
00:10:27,861 --> 00:10:30,862
I just know what I read
         in the papers.

225
00:10:30,864 --> 00:10:32,998
The city's going
       straight to hell.

226
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,367
She'd been your
               patient for long?

227
00:10:35,369 --> 00:10:37,335
First appointment
       was, uh, February.

228
00:10:37,337 --> 00:10:38,637
Routine pelvic.

229
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:40,338
You ever ask her out?

230
00:10:40,340 --> 00:10:42,774
CERRETA:
                 Debra Beckett--

231
00:10:42,776 --> 00:10:44,643
she was your patient, too,
             right?

232
00:10:44,645 --> 00:10:46,678
What the hell
      are you getting at?

233
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,547
Two of your
                     patients

234
00:10:48,548 --> 00:10:50,415
have been murdered
   in the last three months.

235
00:10:51,852 --> 00:10:54,919
CERRETA:
            Did you ever examine
            Sandy Markham?

236
00:10:54,921 --> 00:10:56,121
No.

237
00:10:56,123 --> 00:10:57,789
Do you mind
   if we check your records?

238
00:10:57,791 --> 00:10:59,924
Sure, be my guest.
    My nurse will help you.

239
00:10:59,926 --> 00:11:01,843
Thanks. By the way,

240
00:11:01,844 --> 00:11:03,761
did you happen to have a date
       last Monday night?

241
00:11:03,764 --> 00:11:04,863
Yes.

242
00:11:04,865 --> 00:11:07,866
Emily Feist,
    nine pounds, three ounces.

243
00:11:07,868 --> 00:11:12,737
Born Monday, 7:16 P.M.,
after three hours of labor.

244
00:11:12,739 --> 00:11:14,072
Yeah.

245
00:11:14,074 --> 00:11:16,941
What do you got?

246
00:11:16,943 --> 00:11:19,044
Okay. Thanks a lot.

247
00:11:19,046 --> 00:11:22,147
Hospital has him
             signing in at 4:16,

248
00:11:22,149 --> 00:11:24,149
signing out
                 at ten to 8:00.

249
00:11:24,151 --> 00:11:26,918
It would take him
at least 20 minutes

250
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,920
to get to Judy Bream's place.

251
00:11:28,922 --> 00:11:32,090
The M.E. puts the time
of death between 7:00 and 8:00.

252
00:11:32,092 --> 00:11:34,959
But M.E.'s have been known
to be off by an hour or so.

253
00:11:34,961 --> 00:11:36,928
We still have to connect
Sandy Markham.

254
00:11:36,930 --> 00:11:38,096
She never saw Dr. Banks.

255
00:11:38,098 --> 00:11:40,132
Maybe he's lying.

256
00:11:40,133 --> 00:11:42,167
Maybe she did see him
         under a different name.

257
00:11:42,169 --> 00:11:45,203
Let's go talk
to Dr. Cohen.

258
00:11:46,773 --> 00:11:49,241
No.

259
00:11:49,242 --> 00:11:51,710
Sandy Markham was referred
  by Dr. Rosen on Park Avenue.

260
00:11:51,712 --> 00:11:54,079
Had she ever been treated
by Dr. Banks?

261
00:11:55,182 --> 00:11:57,082
We can get a subpoena.

262
00:11:57,084 --> 00:11:58,183
If she had been,

263
00:11:58,185 --> 00:12:00,919
I think she would
               have told me.

264
00:12:00,921 --> 00:12:02,487
Why?

265
00:12:04,725 --> 00:12:06,091
He's a disgrace.

266
00:12:06,093 --> 00:12:09,194
I wouldn't send my schnauzer
     to see Phillip Banks.

267
00:12:09,196 --> 00:12:11,463
You don't like
             his bedside manner?

268
00:12:11,465 --> 00:12:13,131
The guy's a walking lawsuit.

269
00:12:13,133 --> 00:12:14,132
Malpractice?

270
00:12:14,134 --> 00:12:15,934
Now he's
                  branching out.

271
00:12:15,936 --> 00:12:18,837
My bookkeeper tells they're
  after him for insurance fraud.

272
00:12:18,839 --> 00:12:21,139
You and Banks have
            the same bookkeeper?

273
00:12:21,141 --> 00:12:24,476
Yes.

274
00:12:25,746 --> 00:12:28,279
You mind giving us his name?

275
00:12:28,281 --> 00:12:30,749
Albert Lawrence Cheney.

276
00:12:30,751 --> 00:12:32,751
Spent five years
                in Attica.

277
00:12:32,753 --> 00:12:34,152
Cheating on his taxes?

278
00:12:34,154 --> 00:12:37,889
He got Man Two,
               paroled in '89...

279
00:12:37,891 --> 00:12:40,959
He killed a girl
                in Queens.

280
00:12:40,961 --> 00:12:42,794
Strangulation? Tape?

281
00:12:44,030 --> 00:12:46,264
Rest of the file
            will be in tomorrow.

282
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:48,183
You want to wait?

283
00:12:48,184 --> 00:12:50,101
Not on your life.
Risk losing another one? No.

284
00:12:53,273 --> 00:12:54,272
Hello?

285
00:12:54,274 --> 00:12:55,273
Hello.

286
00:12:55,275 --> 00:12:57,275
Does Albert Cheney
            live here?

287
00:12:57,277 --> 00:12:58,309
Yes.

288
00:12:58,311 --> 00:13:00,145
Is he here

289
00:13:00,147 --> 00:13:02,514
because we'd like
to talk to him.

290
00:13:02,516 --> 00:13:03,515
I'm Mrs. Cheney.

291
00:13:03,517 --> 00:13:05,116
Is there a problem?

292
00:13:05,118 --> 00:13:06,885
No, it's not a problem.

293
00:13:06,887 --> 00:13:08,553
Just want to talk to him.

294
00:13:08,555 --> 00:13:10,121
He's in
                 the other room.

295
00:13:10,123 --> 00:13:11,089
He's busy working.

296
00:13:11,091 --> 00:13:12,257
Excuse me.

297
00:13:12,259 --> 00:13:15,293
Are you Albert
Lawrence Cheney?

298
00:13:17,030 --> 00:13:19,030
Yes.

299
00:13:19,032 --> 00:13:20,899
Do you mind if we talk?

300
00:13:20,901 --> 00:13:22,167
I'm in the middle...

301
00:13:22,169 --> 00:13:24,269
LOGAN:
I think it will keep.

302
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,009
Don't you think we'd be
more comfortable at the station?

303
00:13:38,985 --> 00:13:41,019
Look, I'm not trying
       to outrun my past.

304
00:13:41,021 --> 00:13:42,453
I did the time.

305
00:13:42,455 --> 00:13:44,055
LOGAN:
So you're
rehabilitated.

306
00:13:44,057 --> 00:13:45,456
I didn't<i> do</i> the crime.

307
00:13:45,458 --> 00:13:46,991
CERRETA:
               Aren't you bitter

308
00:13:46,993 --> 00:13:50,094
having spent five years
    in Attica for something

309
00:13:50,096 --> 00:13:51,830
you didn't do?

310
00:13:51,832 --> 00:13:53,832
I'm at peace with it now.

311
00:13:53,834 --> 00:13:56,968
I was unlucky enough
to be at the wrong place

312
00:13:56,970 --> 00:13:58,603
at the wrong time.

313
00:13:58,605 --> 00:13:59,971
My lawyer said

314
00:13:59,973 --> 00:14:02,006
the best thing was to deal.

315
00:14:02,008 --> 00:14:04,976
"Five was better than 15,"
he said.

316
00:14:04,978 --> 00:14:06,778
You work

317
00:14:06,779 --> 00:14:08,579
with Dr. Banks<i> and</i> Dr. Cohen.

318
00:14:08,582 --> 00:14:12,450
And Burton and Scarlon
and Schuman.

319
00:14:12,452 --> 00:14:13,985
How long you been
               keeping books?

320
00:14:13,987 --> 00:14:15,453
Two years, since I got out.

321
00:14:15,455 --> 00:14:16,487
And before that?

322
00:14:16,489 --> 00:14:18,857
Master electrician.

323
00:14:18,859 --> 00:14:21,993
Manhattan Power
           doesn't like ex-cons.

324
00:14:21,995 --> 00:14:24,429
Last Monday night,
   you remember what you did?

325
00:14:24,431 --> 00:14:29,067
My wife and I went
to dinner and a movie.

326
00:14:29,069 --> 00:14:32,537
It was an early show, 5:00.

327
00:14:35,008 --> 00:14:38,109
You know a woman
       named Judy Bream?

328
00:14:45,185 --> 00:14:48,052
Why? What happened to her?

329
00:14:48,054 --> 00:14:49,554
She was murdered.

330
00:14:52,158 --> 00:14:55,627
We had pizza
at Julio's in Astoria.

331
00:14:55,629 --> 00:14:58,196
What time did you
           leave the restaurant?

332
00:14:58,198 --> 00:15:02,567
Around 8:00, although
I'm not exactly certain.

333
00:15:02,569 --> 00:15:04,002
Where did you go?

334
00:15:04,004 --> 00:15:05,536
I drove Albert home.

335
00:15:05,538 --> 00:15:08,539
I went to work,
the Post Office. night shift.

336
00:15:08,541 --> 00:15:10,541
I punched in at 9:00.

337
00:15:10,543 --> 00:15:12,543
Have you been married
          a long time?

338
00:15:12,545 --> 00:15:14,245
A year.

339
00:15:18,218 --> 00:15:22,987
Seven years ago,
I saw his picture in the paper.

340
00:15:22,989 --> 00:15:25,924
He had such gentle eyes.

341
00:15:25,926 --> 00:15:28,927
I wrote him
and he wrote me back.

342
00:15:28,929 --> 00:15:30,662
And when he was released?

343
00:15:30,664 --> 00:15:34,132
He joined our church group,
St. Eligius Baptist.

344
00:15:34,134 --> 00:15:37,702
He's a good man, Detective.

345
00:15:37,704 --> 00:15:39,070
Phil.

346
00:15:44,077 --> 00:15:46,611
It was in the bottom drawer.

347
00:15:46,613 --> 00:15:48,079
There's no film,

348
00:15:48,081 --> 00:15:51,115
but it's the same type
to fit the wrapper we found.

349
00:15:51,117 --> 00:15:53,184
My son has the same one.

350
00:15:53,186 --> 00:15:55,019
Look at this.

351
00:15:58,224 --> 00:15:59,657
Duct tape.

352
00:16:01,661 --> 00:16:04,095
Your son got one of these--

353
00:16:04,097 --> 00:16:07,732
a Manhattan Power Company
        employee I.D.?

354
00:16:07,734 --> 00:16:10,969
Expires June, 1985.

355
00:16:10,971 --> 00:16:14,072
Think Albert kept it
            as a souvenir?

356
00:16:21,214 --> 00:16:22,680
The fibers
    from his washer-dryer--

357
00:16:22,682 --> 00:16:24,349
beige with a wool/acrylic
            weave--

358
00:16:24,350 --> 00:16:26,017
matched the carpeting
in Judy Bream's apartment.

359
00:16:26,019 --> 00:16:29,020
Must have been
             on Cheney's clothes

360
00:16:29,022 --> 00:16:30,288
when he washed them.

361
00:16:30,290 --> 00:16:31,689
Puts him at the scene.

362
00:16:31,691 --> 00:16:34,258
Or in my apartment
              or 10,000 others.

363
00:16:34,260 --> 00:16:35,693
It's not what you'd
             call unique.

364
00:16:35,695 --> 00:16:38,262
Had better luck
             with the duct tape.

365
00:16:38,264 --> 00:16:40,164
The roll
    from Cheney's apartment,

366
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:42,233
same as the tape
    recovered from the body.

367
00:16:42,235 --> 00:16:44,235
We pieced together
      the tape on the roll

368
00:16:44,237 --> 00:16:46,404
with the tape on the girl.

369
00:16:46,405 --> 00:16:48,572
The tears at the end were ragged
enough to make a match.

370
00:16:48,575 --> 00:16:52,276
So, please tell me
             this is conclusive.

371
00:16:52,278 --> 00:16:53,277
Probable.

372
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:54,312
Sorry.

373
00:16:54,314 --> 00:16:56,214
CRAGEN:
           <i> Duct tape</i>

374
00:16:56,216 --> 00:17:00,018
carpet fibers, I.D. card,
       prior conviction--

375
00:17:00,020 --> 00:17:01,619
it adds up, Paul.

376
00:17:01,621 --> 00:17:03,054
To a weak indictment.

377
00:17:03,056 --> 00:17:05,023
The prior bad act
    is inadmissible,

378
00:17:05,025 --> 00:17:06,758
the rest,
                 circumstantial.

379
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,759
What about Cheney's phone?

380
00:17:07,761 --> 00:17:09,293
Brick wall-- the LUD's show

381
00:17:09,295 --> 00:17:11,696
no telephone calls
     to any of the victims.

382
00:17:11,698 --> 00:17:13,331
Alibi?

383
00:17:13,333 --> 00:17:15,733
His wife punched in
to work at 9:00.

384
00:17:15,735 --> 00:17:18,669
Before that, nobody remembers
him at the movies or restaurant.

385
00:17:18,671 --> 00:17:20,705
An alibi that
              can't be verified.

386
00:17:20,707 --> 00:17:22,724
Or refuted.

387
00:17:22,725 --> 00:17:24,742
It's possible we're wrong
        about Cheney.

388
00:17:24,744 --> 00:17:26,044
Guilty people call their
      lawyers-- he hasn't.

389
00:17:26,046 --> 00:17:28,046
And innocent people
        kick and scream.

390
00:17:28,048 --> 00:17:29,380
I haven't seen him do that
            either.

391
00:17:29,382 --> 00:17:32,116
You guys want
    to indict him

392
00:17:32,118 --> 00:17:34,052
then have it
                    just die?

393
00:17:34,054 --> 00:17:35,653
Fine.

394
00:17:38,725 --> 00:17:41,092
Get Cheney
into interrogation.

395
00:17:47,067 --> 00:17:48,466
Look at it, Albert.

396
00:17:48,468 --> 00:17:50,134
You're the only one.

397
00:17:50,136 --> 00:17:52,437
No one else appears here
three times.

398
00:17:52,439 --> 00:17:54,272
You want to explain that to me?

399
00:17:54,274 --> 00:17:55,273
It's a fluke.

400
00:17:55,275 --> 00:17:56,741
Fine.

401
00:17:56,743 --> 00:18:00,244
Maybe you can help me
because we're a little stumped.

402
00:18:00,246 --> 00:18:03,748
Who else has total access
    to these women's lives?

403
00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:06,751
You look at their files
every day.

404
00:18:06,753 --> 00:18:09,787
You look at their charts,
their billing statements.

405
00:18:09,789 --> 00:18:11,789
Do the doctors you work for,

406
00:18:11,791 --> 00:18:13,658
do they know you snoop
through patients' files?

407
00:18:13,660 --> 00:18:15,226
I don't do that.

408
00:18:15,228 --> 00:18:17,128
I just do
                 the accounting.

409
00:18:17,130 --> 00:18:18,763
Maybe so, Albert,
        maybe so,

410
00:18:18,765 --> 00:18:20,765
but we know
you did Judy Bream.

411
00:18:20,767 --> 00:18:21,766
We know that.

412
00:18:21,768 --> 00:18:23,768
I never met those girls.

413
00:18:23,770 --> 00:18:25,703
I told you.

414
00:18:28,274 --> 00:18:30,108
Okay...

415
00:18:30,110 --> 00:18:32,110
You recognize this?

416
00:18:32,112 --> 00:18:35,279
It's a picture
   of your electrician's I.D.

417
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:37,381
I worked there
                 for five years.

418
00:18:37,383 --> 00:18:38,716
That was eight years ago.

419
00:18:38,718 --> 00:18:41,052
How come you kept it so long?

420
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,387
We know how you got
into those girls' apartments.

421
00:18:43,389 --> 00:18:45,790
We know all about
your electrician's routine.

422
00:18:45,792 --> 00:18:47,692
You're a pretty smart guy,
Albert--

423
00:18:47,694 --> 00:18:50,228
like the way
you opened those elevator doors

424
00:18:50,230 --> 00:18:52,263
to toss Judy Bream's body
          down there.

425
00:18:52,265 --> 00:18:53,498
Boy, that had us going.

426
00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:54,732
Till we figured out
         you were using

427
00:18:54,734 --> 00:18:56,100
one of those elevator
          access keys.

428
00:18:56,101 --> 00:18:57,467
All you electricians
have those access
keys, don't you?

429
00:18:57,470 --> 00:18:58,536
I don't know about any key.

430
00:18:58,538 --> 00:19:00,171
Oh, sure you do.

431
00:19:00,172 --> 00:19:01,805
We checked with Manhattan Power.
   They told us that you do.

432
00:19:01,808 --> 00:19:03,274
They told us
   that after you were fired,

433
00:19:03,276 --> 00:19:04,275
you didn't turn in the key.

434
00:19:04,277 --> 00:19:05,143
That's not true.

435
00:19:05,145 --> 00:19:05,543
It's true.

436
00:19:05,545 --> 00:19:07,145
Albert.

437
00:19:07,146 --> 00:19:08,746
Albert, don't
               fight us on this.

438
00:19:08,748 --> 00:19:10,815
We know that you
didn't turn it in.
              They told us.

439
00:19:10,817 --> 00:19:13,284
He was fired
eight years ago.

440
00:19:13,286 --> 00:19:16,287
Manhattan Power keeps records
of their keys?

441
00:19:16,289 --> 00:19:19,290
They don't even know
           if he really had one.

442
00:19:19,292 --> 00:19:22,493
Look, I just don't think
          that's true.

443
00:19:22,495 --> 00:19:24,795
I can't remember having one.

444
00:19:24,797 --> 00:19:26,864
See you in a while, pal.

445
00:19:31,171 --> 00:19:34,572
This was next to Judy's bed
         on the floor.

446
00:19:34,574 --> 00:19:38,509
It's the exact same kind
       of film your camera uses.

447
00:19:38,511 --> 00:19:44,248
She doesn't even have
           a camera like that.

448
00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:46,450
How did it get there?

449
00:19:46,452 --> 00:19:49,320
When did you take
     the pictures, Albert?

450
00:19:49,322 --> 00:19:51,539
Before you killed her?

451
00:19:51,540 --> 00:19:53,757
Be much more gruesome
  after, though, wouldn't it?

452
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,326
It's your work.

453
00:19:55,328 --> 00:19:57,328
You could see what you've done.

454
00:19:57,330 --> 00:19:59,597
I've never even been
         in her place.

455
00:19:59,599 --> 00:20:01,332
And yet, your duct tape
was there,

456
00:20:01,334 --> 00:20:03,568
there were carpet fibers
on your clothes,

457
00:20:03,570 --> 00:20:06,337
you got her address
from Dr. Banks's files

458
00:20:06,339 --> 00:20:08,940
and you have
an electrician's badge!

459
00:20:08,942 --> 00:20:11,409
You like looking
              at those pictures,

460
00:20:11,411 --> 00:20:12,510
don't you, Albert?

461
00:20:12,512 --> 00:20:14,478
Takes you back.

462
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,416
You got a special
place for them?

463
00:20:21,554 --> 00:20:24,555
I don't have any pictures.

464
00:20:31,564 --> 00:20:34,599
CRAGEN:
   These are ligature marks,
            Albert.

465
00:20:34,601 --> 00:20:37,802
You see,
   when you strangle someone,

466
00:20:37,804 --> 00:20:39,437
you leave marks

467
00:20:39,439 --> 00:20:40,571
like fingerprints.

468
00:20:40,573 --> 00:20:43,057
This is...

469
00:20:43,058 --> 00:20:45,542
Sally Kessler, the girl
  you killed eight years ago.

470
00:20:45,545 --> 00:20:48,813
See those ligature marks
        way up high?

471
00:20:48,815 --> 00:20:50,581
Just like the ones
              on Judy's neck.

472
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:52,917
You like to get them
up high, don't you?

473
00:20:52,919 --> 00:20:55,553
They take longer to suffocate
that way, right?

474
00:20:55,555 --> 00:20:59,023
CRAGEN:
         Is that when you get
your knee in their back

475
00:20:59,025 --> 00:21:00,491
and give it a yank?

476
00:21:00,493 --> 00:21:02,927
You know what I want to know?

477
00:21:02,929 --> 00:21:06,564
Why did you switch from ties
      to electrical cord?

478
00:21:06,566 --> 00:21:07,898
Is that better?

479
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:09,634
You get more control that way?

480
00:21:09,636 --> 00:21:12,536
Maybe the ties
 were a little too risky, huh?

481
00:21:12,538 --> 00:21:15,373
A couple wind up
             damaged or missing.

482
00:21:15,375 --> 00:21:17,608
The wife starts wondering,
  thinking, asking questions.

483
00:21:17,610 --> 00:21:21,579
"Is the man I sit next to
     in church every Sunday

484
00:21:21,581 --> 00:21:23,848
really what he
                  says he is?"

485
00:21:23,850 --> 00:21:26,384
I...

486
00:21:26,386 --> 00:21:28,586
I'm tired.

487
00:21:28,588 --> 00:21:30,955
You want to talk
to a lawyer?

488
00:21:30,957 --> 00:21:32,990
Get it off your chest.

489
00:21:32,992 --> 00:21:34,525
It will be privileged.

490
00:21:34,527 --> 00:21:37,078
No.

491
00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:39,630
It's just that I'm tired,
          that's all.

492
00:21:41,301 --> 00:21:43,534
I want to go lie down.

493
00:21:43,536 --> 00:21:45,703
Yeah, okay, soon,
                very soon.

494
00:21:45,705 --> 00:21:48,439
I just want to go over

495
00:21:48,441 --> 00:21:51,309
a couple more things
            here, all right?

496
00:22:02,555 --> 00:22:06,724
CERRETA:
These are the keys
we found in your apartment.

497
00:22:06,726 --> 00:22:08,993
Which one
is the elevator key?

498
00:22:08,995 --> 00:22:11,996
I don't know
                  if I have one.

499
00:22:11,998 --> 00:22:13,397
They say you did.

500
00:22:13,399 --> 00:22:15,700
You kept it
    like you kept your I.D.

501
00:22:15,702 --> 00:22:17,635
Is it this one here, huh?

502
00:22:17,637 --> 00:22:19,337
No, that's uh, uh...

503
00:22:19,339 --> 00:22:22,073
Sara's old place
                in the Bronx.

504
00:22:22,075 --> 00:22:24,108
How about this one?

505
00:22:24,110 --> 00:22:26,610
That's for the garage.

506
00:22:26,612 --> 00:22:28,412
What about this?

507
00:22:28,414 --> 00:22:30,414
Sara's bicycle.

508
00:22:30,416 --> 00:22:32,383
The lock.

509
00:22:32,385 --> 00:22:34,552
This one?

510
00:22:36,456 --> 00:22:38,589
Is that an elevator access key?

511
00:22:38,591 --> 00:22:40,725
No. It's for the storage.

512
00:22:40,727 --> 00:22:42,526
You're lying, Albert.

513
00:22:42,528 --> 00:22:44,628
Your building has no storage.

514
00:22:44,630 --> 00:22:46,030
Not there.

515
00:22:46,032 --> 00:22:47,531
I mean on Sutphin.

516
00:22:47,533 --> 00:22:50,501
One of those rental places?

517
00:22:56,376 --> 00:22:58,776
What do you keep there, Albert?

518
00:22:58,778 --> 00:23:01,645
Just, uh...

519
00:23:04,450 --> 00:23:05,583
junk.

520
00:23:09,455 --> 00:23:12,390
The pictures.

521
00:23:12,392 --> 00:23:16,127
I'll get working
on a search warrant.

522
00:23:24,704 --> 00:23:26,437
According to this,

523
00:23:26,439 --> 00:23:28,672
the guy came in
               about once a week

524
00:23:28,674 --> 00:23:30,441
usually in the evenings.

525
00:23:30,443 --> 00:23:31,509
LOGAN:
                Phil!

526
00:23:35,415 --> 00:23:37,081
Some people collect

527
00:23:37,083 --> 00:23:38,783
baseball cards.

528
00:23:45,591 --> 00:23:47,425
BAILIFF:
             Case number 750127,

529
00:23:47,427 --> 00:23:49,627
<i> People v.</i>
        <i> Albert Lawrence Cheney.</i>

530
00:23:49,629 --> 00:23:53,431
Three counts of murder
in the second degree.

531
00:23:53,433 --> 00:23:56,567
Talk to me.

532
00:23:57,937 --> 00:23:59,670
Counselor?

533
00:23:59,672 --> 00:24:01,172
Not guilty, Your Honor.

534
00:24:01,174 --> 00:24:02,640
Mr. Robinette?

535
00:24:02,642 --> 00:24:05,142
Your Honor, as far
   as the State is concerned,

536
00:24:05,144 --> 00:24:07,978
the heinous nature
     of the crimes charged

537
00:24:07,980 --> 00:24:10,981
mandates that the defendant
     be held without bail.

538
00:24:10,983 --> 00:24:13,217
My client has rights.

539
00:24:13,219 --> 00:24:14,919
And so do the rest of women
         in this city.

540
00:24:14,921 --> 00:24:15,920
I think that's...

541
00:24:15,922 --> 00:24:17,087
Save it, Carl.

542
00:24:17,089 --> 00:24:19,690
Court orders
  defendant held without bail.

543
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,994
All right,
you behave yourself.

544
00:24:32,205 --> 00:24:34,171
The police repeatedly told
         Albert Cheney

545
00:24:34,173 --> 00:24:37,174
he had a right
                 to an attorney.

546
00:24:37,176 --> 00:24:38,943
He waived that right?

547
00:24:38,945 --> 00:24:40,144
Several times.

548
00:24:40,146 --> 00:24:41,946
Miranda.

549
00:24:41,948 --> 00:24:44,248
Waiver's got to be made

550
00:24:44,250 --> 00:24:47,952
voluntarily, knowingly,
       and intelligently.

551
00:24:47,954 --> 00:24:49,186
Carl, this guy's
been there before.

552
00:24:49,188 --> 00:24:51,589
He's well aware of his rights.

553
00:24:51,591 --> 00:24:55,159
But after 12 hours,
   guy would forget his name.

554
00:24:55,161 --> 00:24:56,193
Come again?

555
00:24:56,195 --> 00:24:57,194
They battered

556
00:24:57,196 --> 00:24:59,497
my client for 12 hours.

557
00:24:59,499 --> 00:25:01,131
Of course he broke.

558
00:25:01,133 --> 00:25:04,568
And gave us a box full
 of photographs of his victims.

559
00:25:04,570 --> 00:25:06,537
BERG:
              Supreme Court says

560
00:25:06,538 --> 00:25:08,505
we should look at the totality
  of the circumstances--

561
00:25:08,508 --> 00:25:11,208
length of detention,
     prolonged questioning,

562
00:25:11,210 --> 00:25:13,010
mental exhaustion.

563
00:25:13,012 --> 00:25:15,012
Carl, this guy
      is a serial killer.

564
00:25:15,014 --> 00:25:16,247
He'll do it again.

565
00:25:16,249 --> 00:25:19,250
You get the stake,
I've got the match.

566
00:25:19,252 --> 00:25:21,185
What is it,
                     Ben, huh?

567
00:25:21,187 --> 00:25:22,253
Charge a guy

568
00:25:22,255 --> 00:25:24,021
with killing three girls,

569
00:25:24,023 --> 00:25:26,657
he loses his rights
  against self-incrimination?

570
00:25:26,659 --> 00:25:29,627
The Supreme Court
 never set hard and fast rules

571
00:25:29,629 --> 00:25:31,161
about length of interrogations.

572
00:25:31,163 --> 00:25:33,030
It is a judgment call.

573
00:25:33,032 --> 00:25:34,164
In my judgment,

574
00:25:34,166 --> 00:25:36,233
the more heinous
the crime,

575
00:25:36,234 --> 00:25:38,301
the more protective we must be
         of the rights

576
00:25:38,304 --> 00:25:40,538
of the accused.

577
00:25:40,540 --> 00:25:42,206
Police overstepped their bounds.

578
00:25:42,208 --> 00:25:45,576
I'm excluding the photos.

579
00:25:45,578 --> 00:25:47,144
We had a warrant.

580
00:25:47,146 --> 00:25:49,813
Without the browbeating,
you wouldn't have known

581
00:25:49,815 --> 00:25:51,215
where to search.

582
00:25:51,217 --> 00:25:53,217
As the photos

583
00:25:53,218 --> 00:25:55,218
were wrongfully presented
       to the grand jury,

584
00:25:55,221 --> 00:25:58,122
this entire indictment
      should be dismissed.

585
00:25:58,124 --> 00:25:59,223
We have physical evidence

586
00:25:59,225 --> 00:26:01,091
linking him to
               the crime scene--

587
00:26:01,093 --> 00:26:02,159
a false
              electrician's I.D.

588
00:26:02,161 --> 00:26:05,095
It's all on the Bream girl.

589
00:26:05,097 --> 00:26:06,196
What about the others?

590
00:26:06,198 --> 00:26:07,665
Zippo.

591
00:26:08,768 --> 00:26:10,134
Ben?

592
00:26:10,136 --> 00:26:12,736
We drop the charges

593
00:26:12,738 --> 00:26:14,738
on the first two girls.

594
00:26:14,740 --> 00:26:16,924
Try it only on Judy Bream.

595
00:26:16,925 --> 00:26:19,109
Remember, Ben, he's being tried
  for the Bream murder alone.

596
00:26:19,111 --> 00:26:21,679
Any mention of any priors,
       we return to "go."

597
00:26:21,681 --> 00:26:25,049
I've watched Berg's work
           for years.

598
00:26:25,051 --> 00:26:27,051
He doesn't try a case.

599
00:26:27,053 --> 00:26:28,719
He charms the jury.

600
00:26:28,721 --> 00:26:33,157
When he's done, they'll give
Cheney a Nobel prize.

601
00:26:33,159 --> 00:26:35,125
So much
for victims' rights.

602
00:26:35,127 --> 00:26:37,628
Dead people don't have any,
            my boy.

603
00:26:37,630 --> 00:26:39,129
What do we got here?

604
00:26:39,131 --> 00:26:41,298
What we don't have is one
       iota of direct evidence.

605
00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:44,268
Cheney can't be<i> that</i> good.

606
00:26:44,270 --> 00:26:45,836
He's had practice.

607
00:26:45,838 --> 00:26:48,138
Two priors,
        no evidence whatsoever.

608
00:26:48,140 --> 00:26:50,207
But they caught him once, right?

609
00:26:50,209 --> 00:26:51,642
ROBINETTE:
Man Two.

610
00:26:51,644 --> 00:26:53,744
He only spent five years
           in Attica.

611
00:26:53,746 --> 00:26:55,245
Berg represent him?

612
00:26:55,247 --> 00:26:57,247
Who prosecuted?

613
00:26:57,249 --> 00:26:58,282
Fleischman.

614
00:26:58,284 --> 00:27:01,235
In Brooklyn.

615
00:27:01,236 --> 00:27:04,187
In this business,
   lightning<i> does</i> strike twice.

616
00:27:06,158 --> 00:27:09,126
Find out how the hell
        Berg did it.

617
00:27:09,128 --> 00:27:11,228
How could I forget?

618
00:27:11,230 --> 00:27:14,365
Sally Kessler, 18 years old.

619
00:27:14,367 --> 00:27:17,234
An Hermes tie
    wrapped around her neck.

620
00:27:17,236 --> 00:27:19,737
Dumped naked
            into a recycling bin

621
00:27:19,739 --> 00:27:22,239
behind Nathan's
            out at Coney island.

622
00:27:22,241 --> 00:27:24,141
He's using wire now.

623
00:27:24,143 --> 00:27:26,677
Times is hard.

624
00:27:26,679 --> 00:27:28,679
It's scary.

625
00:27:28,681 --> 00:27:31,815
Cheney sat there and smiled
   while he told us about it.

626
00:27:31,817 --> 00:27:33,350
Wait a minute.

627
00:27:33,352 --> 00:27:34,918
He confessed?

628
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,654
That was the only way

629
00:27:36,656 --> 00:27:38,856
we were going
       to touch that guy.

630
00:27:38,858 --> 00:27:41,091
But he only served five
          for Man Two.

631
00:27:41,093 --> 00:27:42,793
We're questioning Cheney,

632
00:27:42,795 --> 00:27:45,396
nice and polite,
        getting nowhere.

633
00:27:45,398 --> 00:27:48,098
Soon he asked to see his shrink.

634
00:27:48,100 --> 00:27:50,267
We ignore him, keep on pressing.

635
00:27:50,269 --> 00:27:51,869
After an hour or so

636
00:27:51,871 --> 00:27:55,372
we hit a sore spot
  and Cheney spills his guts.

637
00:27:55,374 --> 00:27:56,674
What's the problem?

638
00:27:56,676 --> 00:28:00,110
He goes and hires Carl Berg.

639
00:28:00,112 --> 00:28:02,813
Berg hears
about this shrink thing,

640
00:28:02,815 --> 00:28:04,865
starts doing a song and dance,

641
00:28:04,866 --> 00:28:06,916
screaming and yelling
    about<i> Fare v. Michael C.</i>

642
00:28:06,919 --> 00:28:09,253
The case where the kid asked
    for his parole officer?

643
00:28:09,255 --> 00:28:10,954
Supreme Court
  said it's not the same thing

644
00:28:10,956 --> 00:28:12,122
as asking for a lawyer.

645
00:28:12,124 --> 00:28:13,257
Only at that time,

646
00:28:13,259 --> 00:28:15,859
the Supreme Court
      had heard arguments,

647
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:17,861
but hadn't yet handed down
          its opinion.

648
00:28:17,863 --> 00:28:20,431
Parole officer, shrink--
  could have gone either way.

649
00:28:20,433 --> 00:28:22,166
So you cut a deal.

650
00:28:22,168 --> 00:28:23,967
I got him off the streets

651
00:28:23,969 --> 00:28:25,235
for five to 15.

652
00:28:25,237 --> 00:28:26,970
Usually I take all bets,

653
00:28:26,972 --> 00:28:29,973
but the chance
     that Cheney goes free?

654
00:28:29,975 --> 00:28:30,974
I'm sorry.

655
00:28:30,976 --> 00:28:33,711
Those stakes were just too high.

656
00:28:35,381 --> 00:28:37,715
And he served the minimum?

657
00:28:37,717 --> 00:28:39,450
Warden said he was
              a model prisoner.

658
00:28:39,452 --> 00:28:40,718
Parole Board agreed.

659
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,921
(<i> telephone rings</i> )

660
00:28:45,257 --> 00:28:47,958
Robinette.

661
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,960
Yeah?

662
00:28:49,962 --> 00:28:53,397
Thanks.

663
00:28:53,399 --> 00:28:56,266
The Breams
            are in your office.

664
00:28:56,268 --> 00:28:57,735
They're not alone.

665
00:28:57,737 --> 00:28:59,770
A lawyer, Jack O'Connell

666
00:28:59,772 --> 00:29:03,407
from the Connecticut D.A.'s
     office, is with them.

667
00:29:03,409 --> 00:29:06,410
So the Brooklyn D.A. screws up

668
00:29:06,412 --> 00:29:09,913
and this psycho
is free to kill again.

669
00:29:09,915 --> 00:29:10,914
Nobody screwed up.

670
00:29:10,916 --> 00:29:12,750
They had to cut a deal.

671
00:29:12,752 --> 00:29:15,986
My daughter is dead
   because of a technicality!

672
00:29:15,988 --> 00:29:17,354
I regret it,

673
00:29:17,356 --> 00:29:20,424
but the Supreme Court decided
        a long time ago

674
00:29:20,426 --> 00:29:21,992
that when the system errs,

675
00:29:21,994 --> 00:29:25,295
of individual rights.
          it will be on the side

676
00:29:25,297 --> 00:29:27,931
If my daughter had
              been hit by a car,

677
00:29:27,933 --> 00:29:30,000
we could sue the driver.

678
00:29:30,002 --> 00:29:33,036
Can we sue the Supreme
          Court, Mr. Stone?

679
00:29:33,038 --> 00:29:36,440
I assure you, Mrs. Bream,
   we'll do the best we can.

680
00:29:36,442 --> 00:29:38,308
Maybe I can do you one better.

681
00:29:38,310 --> 00:29:41,378
Cheney lured Judy from
Connecticut into New York,

682
00:29:41,380 --> 00:29:43,914
where he ultimately held her
    captive and killed her.

683
00:29:43,916 --> 00:29:45,916
With your assistance,
      we can prosecute him

684
00:29:45,918 --> 00:29:47,284
in Connecticut for kidnapping.

685
00:29:47,286 --> 00:29:48,852
He never abducted her.

686
00:29:48,854 --> 00:29:50,821
Kidnapping by pretense.

687
00:29:50,823 --> 00:29:52,790
STONE:
       When Cheney phoned with
       this electrician's story,

688
00:29:52,792 --> 00:29:56,927
he had no idea the call was
   forwarded to Connecticut.

689
00:29:56,929 --> 00:29:58,328
He thought she was home.

690
00:29:58,330 --> 00:29:59,463
He had no intent

691
00:29:59,465 --> 00:30:01,799
of luring her
                   anywhere.

692
00:30:01,801 --> 00:30:05,302
Oh, no. I was there
      when the call came.

693
00:30:05,304 --> 00:30:07,838
Judy told him
that she was

694
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,506
at our house.

695
00:30:11,043 --> 00:30:12,976
O'CONNELL:
With death being

696
00:30:12,978 --> 00:30:15,012
the ultimate result
       of the kidnapping,

697
00:30:15,014 --> 00:30:16,513
we can toss in felony murder.

698
00:30:16,515 --> 00:30:17,981
I don't understand.

699
00:30:17,983 --> 00:30:20,684
It's simple.

700
00:30:20,685 --> 00:30:23,386
In Connecticut,
   we have the death penalty.

701
00:30:23,389 --> 00:30:25,489
Yeah, it's like Chicago
          in the '20s.

702
00:30:25,491 --> 00:30:27,090
You don't like someone,

703
00:30:27,092 --> 00:30:30,494
hire a couple of out-of-state
   thugs to rub him out.

704
00:30:30,496 --> 00:30:32,029
They don't want justice, Adam.

705
00:30:32,031 --> 00:30:33,497
They want vengeance.

706
00:30:33,499 --> 00:30:35,532
An eye for an eye worked
for thousands of years.

707
00:30:35,534 --> 00:30:36,900
What are you
               going to do, Ben?

708
00:30:36,902 --> 00:30:38,419
I said thanks, but no thanks.

709
00:30:38,420 --> 00:30:39,937
They can have Cheney
after we're through with him.

710
00:30:39,939 --> 00:30:42,039
If we lose, double jeopardy
        prevents anyone

711
00:30:42,041 --> 00:30:43,841
from retrying him
on the murder.

712
00:30:43,843 --> 00:30:45,375
O'Connell says
he has a good shot

713
00:30:45,377 --> 00:30:47,511
at admitting evidence
from the prior murders

714
00:30:47,513 --> 00:30:50,314
to show that Cheney had the
requisite intent to kidnap.

715
00:30:50,316 --> 00:30:51,548
But their case is bogus, Paul.

716
00:30:51,550 --> 00:30:53,967
You saw the mother.
          She's lying.

717
00:30:53,968 --> 00:30:56,385
Her daughter never told Cheney
    she was in Connecticut.

718
00:30:56,388 --> 00:30:59,089
What jury won't believe
         a grieving mother?

719
00:30:59,091 --> 00:31:00,290
STONE:
Cheney is an animal.

720
00:31:00,292 --> 00:31:01,959
Yes, he should be tried
and convicted,

721
00:31:01,961 --> 00:31:04,628
but, no, we shouldn't subvert
the legal system to do it.

722
00:31:04,630 --> 00:31:06,930
And if Mrs. Bream is
       telling the truth?

723
00:31:06,932 --> 00:31:08,465
He committed a crime
in New York.

724
00:31:08,467 --> 00:31:11,401
Our law says he should be
    convicted, not executed.

725
00:31:11,403 --> 00:31:12,870
What about his alibi?

726
00:31:12,872 --> 00:31:14,504
ROBINETTE:
It plays,
as far as I can tell.

727
00:31:14,506 --> 00:31:17,641
Sara Cheney punched into work
at 9:00 P.M.

728
00:31:17,643 --> 00:31:20,510
Don't coworkers
  scratch each other's backs?

729
00:31:20,512 --> 00:31:24,014
She drives to work, doesn't she?

730
00:31:27,419 --> 00:31:28,485
Civil service.

731
00:31:28,487 --> 00:31:29,486
Can't be fired.

732
00:31:29,488 --> 00:31:30,954
Bennies up the ying yang.

733
00:31:30,956 --> 00:31:32,556
Should've taken the exam.

734
00:31:32,558 --> 00:31:34,892
All the postal workers
            park here?

735
00:31:34,894 --> 00:31:35,893
Half-price.

736
00:31:35,895 --> 00:31:38,562
Uncle Sam picks up the rest.

737
00:31:38,564 --> 00:31:39,997
We keep the receipts.

738
00:31:39,999 --> 00:31:41,999
The Feds don't trust anybody.

739
00:31:42,001 --> 00:31:43,433
Here we go.

740
00:31:43,435 --> 00:31:44,902
Cheney, green Metro.

741
00:31:44,904 --> 00:31:46,970
Punched in 9:45.

742
00:31:49,942 --> 00:31:50,974
She covered for him.

743
00:31:50,976 --> 00:31:52,643
ROBINETTE:
             Her friend admitted

744
00:31:52,645 --> 00:31:55,646
she punched her time card
for her at 9:00.

745
00:31:55,648 --> 00:31:58,682
Even if Cheney gave her
        a play-by-play,

746
00:31:58,684 --> 00:32:00,651
we can't put her
    on the stand.

747
00:32:00,653 --> 00:32:02,152
Spousal privilege.

748
00:32:02,154 --> 00:32:04,021
No way Cheney waives it.

749
00:32:04,023 --> 00:32:06,189
Oh, the Breams
   are playing hardball now.

750
00:32:06,191 --> 00:32:09,960
The Connecticut D.A.'s motion
   to have Cheney extradited.

751
00:32:09,962 --> 00:32:12,429
So we'll stop it.

752
00:32:12,431 --> 00:32:14,431
We'll get an injunction.

753
00:32:14,433 --> 00:32:17,200
Have you seen the
          civil calendar lately?

754
00:32:17,202 --> 00:32:19,069
Cheney will be tried
      and dead six months

755
00:32:19,071 --> 00:32:21,071
before we get a judge
      looks at our papers.

756
00:32:21,073 --> 00:32:22,706
We'll get a temporary
restraining order,

757
00:32:22,708 --> 00:32:24,341
we'll do the papers tonight,

758
00:32:24,342 --> 00:32:25,975
and we'll be at 9:30
    calendar call tomorrow.

759
00:32:27,947 --> 00:32:30,113
You got other plans?

760
00:32:30,115 --> 00:32:31,448
I don't know.

761
00:32:31,450 --> 00:32:33,650
Representing Cheney
         in civil court

762
00:32:33,652 --> 00:32:35,652
just so we can prosecute him?

763
00:32:35,654 --> 00:32:37,621
I am not representing Cheney.

764
00:32:37,623 --> 00:32:41,491
I am representing the people
   of the State of New York.

765
00:32:43,095 --> 00:32:45,128
<i> Your Honor, I'm sure</i>

766
00:32:45,130 --> 00:32:46,663
I needn't remind
                this court

767
00:32:46,665 --> 00:32:48,565
of the full faith
               and credit clause

768
00:32:48,567 --> 00:32:50,701
of the U.S. Constitution,
       which mandates

769
00:32:50,703 --> 00:32:53,603
that sister states
honor each other's laws.

770
00:32:53,605 --> 00:32:57,240
Albert Cheney broke the laws
of the State of New York.

771
00:32:57,242 --> 00:32:59,609
He was arrested within
          its boundaries.

772
00:32:59,611 --> 00:33:02,179
It would be a miscarriage

773
00:33:02,180 --> 00:33:04,748
to allow another state
   to usurp its jurisdiction.

774
00:33:04,750 --> 00:33:07,150
The issue in this motion
is not jurisdiction, Your Honor.

775
00:33:07,152 --> 00:33:09,653
It is the inadequacy, no, the
 complete inability of New York

776
00:33:09,655 --> 00:33:11,638
to deal with violent criminals.

777
00:33:11,639 --> 00:33:13,622
And you believe
 that Connecticut is more able?

778
00:33:13,625 --> 00:33:16,460
New York has tried to deal
with Albert Lawrence Cheney,

779
00:33:16,462 --> 00:33:18,662
Your Honor, and at least
   four young women are dead.

780
00:33:18,664 --> 00:33:21,665
Was he rehabilitated,
and did his five years

781
00:33:21,667 --> 00:33:24,001
in prison prevent recidivism?

782
00:33:24,003 --> 00:33:25,602
Obviously not.

783
00:33:25,604 --> 00:33:27,070
So the only thing left
        is revenge.

784
00:33:27,072 --> 00:33:28,538
You tell me.

785
00:33:28,540 --> 00:33:30,007
You had your turn, Mr. Stone.

786
00:33:30,009 --> 00:33:32,476
And let's do without the
      rhetoric, Counselor.

787
00:33:32,478 --> 00:33:34,611
If you grant Mr. Stone's motion

788
00:33:34,613 --> 00:33:37,748
and if he tries the defendant
           and loses,

789
00:33:37,750 --> 00:33:40,617
we are then precluded
from prosecuting him

790
00:33:40,619 --> 00:33:42,686
for the murder of Judy Bream.

791
00:33:42,688 --> 00:33:44,087
Bottom line, Your Honor,

792
00:33:44,089 --> 00:33:46,223
Albert Cheney is of no use
        to anyone alive.

793
00:33:46,225 --> 00:33:47,591
Is this forum shopping?

794
00:33:47,593 --> 00:33:49,226
This is a criminal case.

795
00:33:49,228 --> 00:33:51,595
Yes, I know, Mr. Stone,
    and this is civil court.

796
00:33:51,597 --> 00:33:53,797
Why you want to keep
 Mr. Cheney alive is beyond me.

797
00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:55,699
I, for one,
    wouldn't lose any sleep

798
00:33:55,701 --> 00:33:56,800
if they flipped the switch.

799
00:33:56,802 --> 00:33:58,769
That's not relevant, Your Honor.

800
00:33:58,771 --> 00:34:00,237
I know.

801
00:34:00,239 --> 00:34:02,606
Unfortunately, Mr. Stone
       has met the burden

802
00:34:02,608 --> 00:34:04,574
required by law
    for a restraining order.

803
00:34:04,576 --> 00:34:07,611
As such, I am forced
to grant his motion.

804
00:34:07,613 --> 00:34:10,714
The case against
Albert Cheney stays put.

805
00:34:10,716 --> 00:34:14,718
May God help both of us if you
  lose that trial, Mr. Stone.

806
00:34:19,124 --> 00:34:22,492
The M.E.'s report?

807
00:34:22,494 --> 00:34:26,063
Paul, are you
with me, here?

808
00:34:26,065 --> 00:34:29,166
We've taken flyers before,
             but...

809
00:34:29,168 --> 00:34:32,069
You would prefer that I
  let O'Connell try this case?

810
00:34:32,071 --> 00:34:34,137
The courts are not
     your personal soapbox.

811
00:34:34,139 --> 00:34:35,572
Have you heard me preach?

812
00:34:35,574 --> 00:34:38,475
Better we bend the system
   than risk letting him walk

813
00:34:38,477 --> 00:34:40,477
because of some
      unfounded morality.

814
00:34:40,479 --> 00:34:42,179
Who's preaching now?

815
00:34:42,181 --> 00:34:43,480
You're not talking
about convicting him,

816
00:34:43,482 --> 00:34:44,815
you're talking
    about killing him.

817
00:34:44,817 --> 00:34:47,851
I think my tax dollars
        can be put to better use

818
00:34:47,853 --> 00:34:51,121
than clothing, housing
      and feeding Albert Cheney.

819
00:34:51,123 --> 00:34:53,123
Now maybe I'm just pragmatic.

820
00:34:53,125 --> 00:34:55,492
The cost to the state
       of a capital trial

821
00:34:55,494 --> 00:34:57,160
is roughly $1.8 million--

822
00:34:57,162 --> 00:35:00,464
that is twice the cost
of an average life imprisonment.

823
00:35:00,466 --> 00:35:02,132
Now who's being pragmatic?

824
00:35:02,134 --> 00:35:06,837
Maybe the Breams are entitled
     to a little vengeance.

825
00:35:06,839 --> 00:35:10,540
Oh, "do unto others
     as they did unto you"?

826
00:35:10,542 --> 00:35:13,510
We burn the homes of arsonists?

827
00:35:13,512 --> 00:35:16,113
We sexually abuse
those who rape?

828
00:35:16,115 --> 00:35:18,181
You're rationalizing.

829
00:35:18,183 --> 00:35:21,151
Maybe, but the New York State
Court of Appeals

830
00:35:21,153 --> 00:35:23,520
says the death penalty
is cruel and inhuman.

831
00:35:23,522 --> 00:35:25,122
And what do you say?

832
00:35:25,124 --> 00:35:26,256
And I say

833
00:35:26,258 --> 00:35:29,259
we uphold
    the laws of this state.

834
00:35:33,165 --> 00:35:35,232
LOGAN:
      <i> There was a toolbox</i>

835
00:35:35,234 --> 00:35:38,568
and in it, we found
   duct tape, electrical wire

836
00:35:38,570 --> 00:35:42,139
and a Manhattan Power Company
         employee I.D.

837
00:35:42,141 --> 00:35:43,507
issued to Mr. Cheney.

838
00:35:43,509 --> 00:35:47,611
We also found
a Polaroid camera in a desk.

839
00:35:47,613 --> 00:35:49,346
And the cumulative
effect of this evidence

840
00:35:49,348 --> 00:35:50,847
was sufficient to
              arrest Mr. Cheney?

841
00:35:50,849 --> 00:35:52,015
Yes, that and the fact

842
00:35:52,016 --> 00:35:53,182
that he worked
     for her gynecologist.

843
00:35:53,185 --> 00:35:54,918
Thank you, Detective.

844
00:35:57,923 --> 00:36:00,657
The duct tape that was used
        on the victim...

845
00:36:00,659 --> 00:36:03,360
is there anything
       special about it?

846
00:36:03,362 --> 00:36:05,813
No.

847
00:36:05,814 --> 00:36:08,265
It could be purchased
at any hardware store, correct?

848
00:36:08,267 --> 00:36:09,599
That's correct.

849
00:36:09,601 --> 00:36:11,968
Good.

850
00:36:11,969 --> 00:36:14,336
That narrows it down to, what--
    eight million suspects,

851
00:36:14,339 --> 00:36:16,873
assuming the culprit
    lived in New York City.

852
00:36:16,875 --> 00:36:19,376
Judy Bream
had an unlisted number.

853
00:36:19,378 --> 00:36:21,578
Whoever killed her
     had to get that number

854
00:36:21,580 --> 00:36:22,946
from somewhere, sir.

855
00:36:22,948 --> 00:36:24,514
Uh-huh.

856
00:36:24,516 --> 00:36:26,917
Can you identify this,
           Detective?

857
00:36:26,919 --> 00:36:29,319
That's the victim's
address book.

858
00:36:29,321 --> 00:36:31,321
We found it
    in her apartment.

859
00:36:31,323 --> 00:36:32,322
Would you...?

860
00:36:32,324 --> 00:36:33,390
Please.

861
00:36:35,260 --> 00:36:39,296
Tell me, what do you see
in the back portion of the book?

862
00:36:41,533 --> 00:36:44,334
Names, addresses, phone numbers.

863
00:36:44,336 --> 00:36:46,970
And how many names--
roughly--

864
00:36:46,972 --> 00:36:49,206
would you say
                   appear there?

865
00:36:49,208 --> 00:36:50,941
Roughly? Uh...

866
00:36:53,745 --> 00:36:56,413
I would say
       roughly a hundred.

867
00:36:56,415 --> 00:36:59,482
Would it be fair to say
   that these hundred people,

868
00:36:59,484 --> 00:37:03,353
who were kind enough to give
   Judy their phone numbers,

869
00:37:03,355 --> 00:37:06,356
were also lucky enough
        to receive hers?

870
00:37:06,358 --> 00:37:07,357
Objection.

871
00:37:07,359 --> 00:37:09,392
BERG:
Withdrawn.

872
00:37:09,394 --> 00:37:11,361
Detective, you don't have
      any evidence at all

873
00:37:11,363 --> 00:37:12,529
against my client, do you?

874
00:37:12,531 --> 00:37:13,730
Your Honor?

875
00:37:13,732 --> 00:37:14,664
That's enough, Mr. Berg.

876
00:37:14,666 --> 00:37:16,433
I have no further questions.

877
00:37:19,304 --> 00:37:23,240
MRS. BREAM:
 She spent the weekend with us.

878
00:37:23,242 --> 00:37:25,609
She was off for the holidays.

879
00:37:25,611 --> 00:37:29,012
She was planning on staying
        the entire week.

880
00:37:29,014 --> 00:37:31,648
Why did Judy return to the city?

881
00:37:31,650 --> 00:37:33,650
She got a telephone call.

882
00:37:33,652 --> 00:37:36,686
Something about her electricity.

883
00:37:36,688 --> 00:37:40,290
Did she typically leave the door
to her apartment unlocked?

884
00:37:40,292 --> 00:37:46,663
No. She had three chains
          on her door.

885
00:37:46,665 --> 00:37:48,398
Her father insisted.

886
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,102
You'd ring the bell

887
00:37:52,103 --> 00:37:55,805
and then she'd double-check,
you know, through the peephole.

888
00:37:55,807 --> 00:37:59,276
When was the last time
          you spoke to Judy?

889
00:37:59,278 --> 00:38:02,012
It was that night.

890
00:38:03,282 --> 00:38:05,548
I had her on the phone.

891
00:38:05,550 --> 00:38:07,417
The doorbell rang

892
00:38:07,419 --> 00:38:09,486
and she went to answer it.

893
00:38:09,488 --> 00:38:11,721
Did she put you
on hold?

894
00:38:11,723 --> 00:38:15,358
No. She had a portable phone.

895
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,795
What, if anything,
 did you hear then, Mrs. Bream?

896
00:38:21,667 --> 00:38:24,467
I heard her call

897
00:38:24,469 --> 00:38:27,437
to the man through the door.

898
00:38:27,439 --> 00:38:29,606
Did you hear his response?

899
00:38:31,710 --> 00:38:33,777
STONE:
Mrs. Bream?

900
00:38:35,747 --> 00:38:38,315
Mrs. Bream,
                    did you hear

901
00:38:38,317 --> 00:38:39,616
his response?

902
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:42,719
Yes.

903
00:38:42,721 --> 00:38:44,087
What did
                        he say?

904
00:38:44,089 --> 00:38:45,722
Calls for hearsay, Your Honor.

905
00:38:45,724 --> 00:38:47,691
Statement against penal
     interest, Your Honor.

906
00:38:47,693 --> 00:38:49,659
Not if my client didn't say it.

907
00:38:49,661 --> 00:38:51,594
Sustained.

908
00:38:52,731 --> 00:38:54,798
No more questions.

909
00:39:04,543 --> 00:39:08,078
I'm truly sorry
about your daughter, Mrs. Bream.

910
00:39:10,082 --> 00:39:13,350
I'll try to make this short.

911
00:39:13,352 --> 00:39:16,686
The voice
   that you said you heard...

912
00:39:16,688 --> 00:39:17,654
I heard it.

913
00:39:17,656 --> 00:39:19,122
And do you think

914
00:39:19,124 --> 00:39:23,593
that you could, uh,
      recognize the voice?

915
00:39:25,564 --> 00:39:27,364
No.

916
00:39:27,366 --> 00:39:31,534
Because it was through the door,
       isn't that right?

917
00:39:33,505 --> 00:39:35,638
So...

918
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,508
all you're sure of

919
00:39:38,510 --> 00:39:41,711
is that it was a man
          at the door.

920
00:39:43,849 --> 00:39:48,685
Would you consider that you
  and Judy were fairly close?

921
00:39:48,687 --> 00:39:51,521
She was my daughter.

922
00:39:51,523 --> 00:39:53,089
She ever tell you

923
00:39:53,091 --> 00:39:54,891
about any of her friends?

924
00:40:00,432 --> 00:40:03,800
Do you recall her
       ever mentioning...

925
00:40:03,802 --> 00:40:06,636
someone by the name of Finkel?

926
00:40:06,638 --> 00:40:08,671
Robert,
                I think it was.

927
00:40:08,673 --> 00:40:11,474
Was he one
                 of her friends?

928
00:40:11,476 --> 00:40:13,710
Ahem. Yes.

929
00:40:13,712 --> 00:40:16,913
And Michael Schwartz?

930
00:40:16,915 --> 00:40:19,883
Yes.

931
00:40:19,885 --> 00:40:21,885
And Steve Eidler?

932
00:40:24,723 --> 00:40:26,756
Yes, but...

933
00:40:26,758 --> 00:40:28,658
And Brian Sherman,

934
00:40:28,660 --> 00:40:32,829
Peter Brav, and Alan Sklar?

935
00:40:35,700 --> 00:40:38,568
Now, tell me,
                   Mrs. Bream.

936
00:40:38,570 --> 00:40:42,739
Isn't it<i> possible</i>
   that it was Robert Finkel

937
00:40:42,741 --> 00:40:43,973
or Michael Schwartz,

938
00:40:43,975 --> 00:40:46,810
Steve Eidler,
Peter Brav,

939
00:40:46,812 --> 00:40:49,779
Brian Sherman, or Alan Sklar

940
00:40:49,781 --> 00:40:52,182
who was at the door that night?

941
00:40:56,188 --> 00:41:00,623
Why are you doing this?

942
00:41:00,625 --> 00:41:05,528
Sh... sh... she was my daughter.

943
00:41:05,530 --> 00:41:08,231
No further questions,
           Your Honor.

944
00:41:09,468 --> 00:41:11,935
He took her from me.

945
00:41:18,677 --> 00:41:21,678
Berg's got them
    eating out of his hand.

946
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,613
Yeah. I had a professor
in law school

947
00:41:23,615 --> 00:41:25,882
who said the case is won
by an attorney

948
00:41:25,884 --> 00:41:27,817
who is better liked
by the jury.

949
00:41:27,819 --> 00:41:30,753
Laws, facts, truth--
nothing to do with it.

950
00:41:30,755 --> 00:41:34,524
Maybe in a contract case,
    but this is a serial killer.

951
00:41:34,526 --> 00:41:35,758
The jury doesn't know that.

952
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:36,759
What do you got left?

953
00:41:36,761 --> 00:41:38,595
C.S.U. tech will testify

954
00:41:38,597 --> 00:41:40,597
to the duct tape
       and carpet fibers

955
00:41:40,599 --> 00:41:42,265
found in Cheney's dryer.

956
00:41:42,267 --> 00:41:43,633
Circumstantial evidence.

957
00:41:43,635 --> 00:41:45,702
Berg will have a field day.

958
00:41:45,703 --> 00:41:47,770
We don't have anything direct
      other than the wife

959
00:41:47,772 --> 00:41:49,839
and her testimony's privileged.

960
00:41:49,841 --> 00:41:51,774
If she's an accomplice,
         it's broken.

961
00:41:51,776 --> 00:41:53,643
Establishing
a false alibi

962
00:41:53,645 --> 00:41:55,979
does not make her
an accomplice to murder.

963
00:41:57,649 --> 00:41:59,616
But destroying evidence does.

964
00:41:59,618 --> 00:42:02,719
Who do you think
    washed Cheney's clothes?

965
00:42:04,890 --> 00:42:07,057
Wake up a judge.

966
00:42:07,058 --> 00:42:09,225
Get an arrest warrant
 and notify Legal Aid on this.

967
00:42:09,227 --> 00:42:12,562
I want her
               to have a lawyer.

968
00:42:15,667 --> 00:42:17,667
I already told the police.

969
00:42:17,669 --> 00:42:21,804
We went to the movies,
had dinner,

970
00:42:21,806 --> 00:42:26,075
I drove Albert home,
and then I was at work by 9:00.

971
00:42:26,077 --> 00:42:28,578
That's not true, Mrs. Cheney,
      and we both know it.

972
00:42:28,580 --> 00:42:31,681
We spoke to a coworker,
      Barbara Livingston.

973
00:42:31,683 --> 00:42:34,651
She said<i> she</i> punched
            you in at 9:00.

974
00:42:34,653 --> 00:42:37,587
You didn't get to work
     until close to 10:00.

975
00:42:37,589 --> 00:42:39,022
So she stopped for a cup
     of coffee on the way.

976
00:42:39,024 --> 00:42:41,825
It doesn't prove anything.

977
00:42:41,826 --> 00:42:44,627
You're going to have to do
 better than that, Mrs. Cheney.

978
00:42:44,629 --> 00:42:46,262
Accomplice
to Murder Two--

979
00:42:46,264 --> 00:42:48,731
that's a lot
               of years in jail.

980
00:42:48,733 --> 00:42:49,844
Wing and a prayer.

981
00:42:49,845 --> 00:42:50,956
Silly putty
   doesn't stretch that far.

982
00:42:50,957 --> 00:42:52,068
I don't think so, Ms. Melton.

983
00:42:52,070 --> 00:42:54,070
Your client washed
     her husband's clothes.

984
00:42:54,072 --> 00:42:56,339
That's tampering,
   accessory after the fact.

985
00:42:56,341 --> 00:42:58,641
You can't prove a thing.

986
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,788
Take a good look, Mrs. Cheney.

987
00:43:14,726 --> 00:43:18,761
That's how your husband
        gets his kicks.

988
00:43:25,003 --> 00:43:28,071
(<i> stifled sobs</i> )

989
00:43:37,749 --> 00:43:42,752
That morning...

990
00:43:42,754 --> 00:43:46,623
we read to each other.

991
00:43:46,625 --> 00:43:50,093
Corinthians.

992
00:43:57,702 --> 00:44:01,904
MRS. CHENEY:
He came home at 8:30
            and he was frantic.

993
00:44:01,906 --> 00:44:03,339
He, uh...

994
00:44:03,341 --> 00:44:07,677
His shoulder had
   some blood on it over here

995
00:44:07,679 --> 00:44:10,913
and he said
        he'd been in a fight--

996
00:44:10,915 --> 00:44:14,417
that someone
        had tried to mug him.

997
00:44:14,419 --> 00:44:17,720
Was he carrying anything,
Mrs. Cheney?

998
00:44:17,722 --> 00:44:20,189
His toolbox.

999
00:44:20,191 --> 00:44:23,026
Anything else?

1000
00:44:23,028 --> 00:44:25,895
His camera.

1001
00:44:25,897 --> 00:44:29,732
What, if anything,
    did he say to you?

1002
00:44:32,671 --> 00:44:37,674
He said that he was afraid
    he may have hurt the man

1003
00:44:37,676 --> 00:44:40,109
and he said
              he needed an alibi

1004
00:44:40,111 --> 00:44:44,080
and then he
               told me to, uh...

1005
00:44:44,082 --> 00:44:47,450
hide the toolbox
        and the camera.

1006
00:44:51,856 --> 00:44:56,759
And then... then I washed
    the blood off his shirt.

1007
00:45:00,799 --> 00:45:04,734
Why did you help him,
        Mrs. Cheney?

1008
00:45:06,905 --> 00:45:09,706
He was my husband.

1009
00:45:09,708 --> 00:45:12,208
He was on parole.

1010
00:45:12,210 --> 00:45:15,144
I don't know.

1011
00:45:15,146 --> 00:45:17,447
Did you believe his story
       about the mugging?

1012
00:45:17,449 --> 00:45:19,115
Objection.

1013
00:45:19,117 --> 00:45:20,850
Sustained.

1014
00:45:22,787 --> 00:45:26,456
I loved him.

1015
00:45:26,458 --> 00:45:29,258
I prayed for him.

1016
00:45:29,260 --> 00:45:30,893
I didn't know.

1017
00:45:30,895 --> 00:45:32,729
Didn't know what?

1018
00:45:32,731 --> 00:45:36,466
I didn't know
     that he was an animal.

1019
00:45:36,468 --> 00:45:37,867
Objection!

1020
00:45:40,872 --> 00:45:42,505
Thank you, Mrs. Cheney.

1021
00:45:48,847 --> 00:45:50,213
Oh, I don't know.

1022
00:45:50,215 --> 00:45:53,015
25 years to life is a long time.

1023
00:45:53,017 --> 00:45:55,918
I know two people
who consider it a gift.

1024
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,020
Then you might enjoy this.

1025
00:45:58,022 --> 00:45:59,756
The obituaries?

1026
00:45:59,758 --> 00:46:02,892
Richard Speck, killed
           eight nurses in '66.

1027
00:46:02,894 --> 00:46:04,260
Died in prison.

1028
00:46:04,262 --> 00:46:07,296
He was 49. Cheney's 42.
