THE VICTIM'S WIFE.

MR. WYLER, MY HUSBAND ONCE SAID TO ME...

IF HE WAS EVER FOUND FACEDOWN WITH A BULLET IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD,

LOOK TO MALCOLM DIETRICH.

DIRTY POLITICS.

DO YOU KNOW IF GARFIELD HAD ANYBODY IN THE VAN ALLAN CAMPAIGN?

IF GARFIELD DID HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE IN VAN ALLAN'S CAMPAIGN,

I THINK I'D KINDA BE OBLIGED TO, LIKE, BRING IT BACK TO MY OWN PEOPLE.

HOW MUCH WOULD IT TAKE TO, UH, GET THE NAME OF THIS MOLE?

$25,000.

THE GUYS REDOIN' THE WALLS, THEY FOUND THESE IN THE OUTLETS.

- MICROPHONES. - I BETTER GET IN TOUCH WITH TERRY PHILBRICK.

IF SOMEONE IN GARFIELD'S CAMP KNOWS HE WAS WILLING TO SELL THEM OUT,

HE SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT.

DO WE THINK IT'S A COINCIDENCE THIS GUY PAYS US A VISIT...

AND THEN PARTIES HIMSELF TO DEATH?

NO. WE THINK WE GOT THIS GUY KILLED.

THERE'S A BUG IN YOUR SOUP, ROG.

CAN I ASSUME THE D.A.'s OFFICE IS GONNA PROMOTE THIS CHARADE...

THAT TERRY PHILBRICK'S DEATH WAS A SUICIDE?

WHY DON'T YOU TURN AROUND AND WALK OUT OF HERE...

OR I'LL ASK THE MANAGEMENT TO HAVE YOU REMOVED.

THE SECRET.

DIETRICH DID TO MY FATHER WHAT HE DOES TO MOST PEOPLE.

HE BOUGHT HIM OFF. MY FATHER DROPPED DEAD AT 54,

AND MY MOTHER'S BEEN CALLING DIETRICH A MURDERER EVER SINCE.

THAT'S THE DIRTY LITTLE SECRET OF THE FAMILY.

THE REVELATION.

- DID YOU HAVE AN ABORTION? - YES.

- WAS IT TOM VAN ALLAN'S BABY? - YES.

HOW IN THE HELL CAN I BUILD A DEFENSE FOR YOU? WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THIS BEFORE?

WHY WOULD I TELL YOU? ABORTING MY BABY'S THE WORST THING I'VE EVER DONE.

WORSE THAN KILLING TWO PEOPLE IN COLD BLOOD?

I'VE BEEN, UH, GOING OVER OUR ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AGAIN...

AND, UH, IT'S WORSE THAN I THOUGHT.

SO I'VE ISSUED A MEMO DETAILING A NUMBER OF WAYS WE CAN ALL ECONOMIZE.

IF WE PULL TOGETHER ON THIS, MAYBE WE CAN AVOID CHAPTER 11. OKAY?

ITEM ONE... PARKING PERMITS.

NO PROBLEM THERE. THE BANK'S ABOUT TO REPO MY CAR.

MAN, I'M GETTING NOSTALGIC FOR THE P.D.'s OFFICE.

I HAD A VIEW OF A BRICK WALL, BUT AT LEAST IT CAME WITH A PAYCHECK.

IF JIMMY COULD PAY US, HE WOULD.

YEAH. BUT HE CAN'T. CAN HE?

LOOK, I DON'T MEAN TO RAG ON THE GUY, BUT...

- MORNING, EVERYONE. - MORNING.

LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS.

WHAT HAVE WE GOT ON JUROR NUMBER SIX?

I STILL HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DIG UP ANYTHING TO GET HIM BOUNCED.

- THEN WE NEED TO DIG DEEPER. - GRASSO'S GOT KYLE ROONEY ON THE STAND THIS AFTERNOON.

IS HE BRINGING IN ANYTHING NEW THAT COULD HURT US?

MY GUESS IS, THOUGH, IS THAT HE'LL WRAP HIMSELF IN MARITAL PRIVILEGE.

DO WE HAVE ANYTHING FROM THE CORONER'S OFFICE ON TERRY PHILBRICK'S DEATH?

YEAH. TOXICOLOGY RESULTS JUST CAME BACK.

THEY'RE CALLING IT ACCIDENTAL.

HMM. WHICH IS WHERE IT'LL SEAL OFF.

THIS IS GETTIN' TO BE A REAL HALL OF MIRRORS.

TERRY PHILBRICK WAS VAN ALLAN'S MOLE IN GARFIELD'S CAMPAIGN,

AND HE WAS GONNA SELL US THE NAME OF GARFIELD'S MOLE IN VAN ALLAN'S CAMPAIGN.

GOD, IT'S AMAZING THESE GUYS HAVE TIME TO GET ANYONE ELECTED.

SORRY TO INTERRUPT. THAT GIRL WHO TURNED UP...

ON THE PROSECUTION'S WITNESS LIST YESTERDAY...

- ADRIENNE ORDUNO. - SHE'S AN INMATE AT SYBIL BRAND...

IN THE CELL ACROSS FROM SHARON ROONEY.

HERE'S HER STATEMENT. SHE'S CLAIMING SHARON CONFESSED TO HER SHE COMMITTED THE MURDERS.

JAILHOUSE SNITCH. NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE GRASSO SCRAPING THE BOTTOM OF THAT BARREL.

JIMMY. ALWAYS A PLEASURE. COME ON IN.

MIRIAM. DETECTIVE.

WHAT A SURPRISE.

LOTS OF TURNS IN THE ROAD, COUNSELOR.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GONNA MEET AN OLD FRIEND.

THERE'S AN AMUSING STORY GOING AROUND ABOUT YOU, A BUG...

AND ROGER GARFIELD'S SOUP.

I HEAR YOU REDECORATED HIS SHIRT FRONT.

LET ME TELL YOU, MIRIAM. NOTHING BRINGS OUT THE CADAVEROUS SKIN TONE...

LIKE A SPLASH OF LOBSTER BISQUE.

WELL, YOU LOOK WELL, ANYWAY.

OBVIOUSLY, DEFENDING CRIMINALS SUITS YOU.

ACTUALLY, I WAS WONDERING WHY YOU WERE USING ONE TO MAKE YOUR CASE.

YOU'RE REFERRING TO ADRIENNE ORDUNO?

DRUG ADDICT, PROSTITUTE, LOOKING AT A THIRD STRIKE IN HER A.D.W.

THIS GIRL'S GOT EVERY REASON TO SPIN SOMETHIN' OUT OF CLOTH.

MAYBE. BUT SHE TOLD US WHERE YOUR CLIENT STASHED A .22-CALIBER BERETTA.

WE MAKE IT TO BE THE MURDER WEAPON.

HEY. HOW YA DOIN'?

LOT OF MAIL. ALREADY GOT SEVEN PROPOSALS OF MARRIAGE.

DO YOU KNOW A WOMAN NAMED ADRIENNE ORDUNO?

THERE'S A GIRL NAMED ADRIENNE IN THE CELL ACROSS FROM ME. I DON'T KNOW HER LAST NAME.

YEAH, WELL, SHE'S TELLING THE POLICE THAT YOU CONFESSED TO HER...

MURDERING THE GOVERNOR AND MARLEE DONOVAN.

AND THAT YOU TOLD HER WHERE YOU DUMPED THE GUN. IS THAT TRUE? NO.

ANY IDEA WHY SHE WOULD LIE?

NO. DID YOU HAVE A FIGHT, AN ARGUMENT?

IS THERE ANY REASON THAT SHE WOULD WANNA HURT YOU?

I BARELY KNOW HER. EXCEPT MAYBE TO MAKE SMALL TALK, COMPLAIN ABOUT FOOD.

YOU SURE? I SWEAR IT.

ADRIENNE ORDUNO'S VISITORS. THE USUAL PARADE...

BOYFRIEND, SISTER, ATTORNEY.

WHO'S THE ATTORNEY? JEFF HOUGHTON, A REAL OIL SICK.

HE COULD BE THE BAGMAN FOR WHOEVER SET SHARON UP.

YOU WANT ME TO TALK TO HIM? NO POINT.

ANYBODY THAT CAN BUY BIG TIME PERJURY KNOWS HOW TO STONEWALL.

ALSO, THE COPS DUMPED THE PHONE AT TERRY PHILBRICK'S HOTEL ROOM.

THE LAST THREE CALLS WENT TO LARRY WHITE.

WHY'S TERRY PHILBRICK CALLING VAN ALLAN'S CAMPAIGN COORDINATOR?

MAYBE WE SHOULD ASK LARRY WHITE.

GOOD LUCK IN THERE. THANKS.

HAVE A SEAT, COUNSEL.

ON THE MATTER OF FINANCIAL RELIEF,

THE MASTER CALENDAR JUDGE HAS REVIEWED YOUR PETITION AND SENT IT BACK TO ME.

WHY IS THAT, YOUR HONOR?

BECAUSE HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE RELEVANT NUMBERS ARE AND I DO.

YOUR HONOR, I OBJECT TO YOU CONDUCTING THIS HEARING.

FIRST OF ALL, IT'S AN EX PARTE COMMUNICATION...

I HAVE ASSURED MS. GRASSO THAT YOU AND I ARE JUST CRUNCHING NUMBERS HERE.

NOW, SHE HAS NO PROBLEM. NEITHER SHOULD YOU.

BEARING IN MIND THE FINANCIAL CONSTRAINTS AFFECTING THIS COURT,

I AM CONFIDENT THAT YOU CAN CONDUCT YOUR DEFENSE ADEQUATELY...

UNDER THIS BUDGET.

I DON'T SHARE YOUR CONFIDENCE, YOUR HONOR.

THE CONSTITUTION ENTITLES MY CLIENT TO A FAIR TRIAL.

AND I SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT WE CAN PROVIDE A VIGOROUS DEFENSE WITH THIS KIND OF MONEY.

YOU'RE A RESOURCEFUL MAN. I'M SURE YOU'LL DO YOUR BEST.

YOUR HONOR, WHEN THE NEED ARISES WE WILL RE-PETITION THIS COURT.

AS IS YOUR RIGHT.

BUT THIS IS A COURT OF LAW, NOT AN A.T.M. MACHINE.

WELL, THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION, YOUR HONOR.

SHARON HAD JUST GOTTEN BACK FROM COURT.

SHE WAS PRETTY DOWN.

SHE TELLS ME SHE'S PROBABLY GONNA GET CONVICTED, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER...

'CAUSE AT LEAST THE GOVERNOR AND THAT BITCH GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED.

DID THE DEFENDANT TELL YOU ANYTHING ELSE, MS. ORDUNO?

SHE SAID SHE THREW THE GUN BEHIND A WALL ON P.C.H. NEAR BIG ROCK.

AND SHE SAID THAT HER ONLY HOPE OF GETTIN' OFF...

WAS IF THE COPS DIDN'T FIND IT.

DO YOU KNOW IF THIS IS THE WEAPON, RECOVERED BY DETECTIVE BIGGIO,

BASED UPON THE INFORMATION THE DEFENDANT TOLD YOU?

OBJECTION. CALLS FOR SPECULATION.

WITHDRAWN.

MS. ORDUNO, HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A FELONY?

WHEN I WAS USIN'. BUT I'M CLEAN NOW FOR OVER EIGHT MONTHS.

ARE YOU OFFERING TESTIMONY HERE TODAY IN EXCHANGE FOR ANY ASSURANCES...

THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED FROM THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE...

REGARDING THE DISPOSITION OF YOUR CURRENT CASE?

MY LAWYER SAID THAT IF I CAME FORWARD AND TOLD THE TRUTH...

THAT THE D.A. WOULD KNOCK MY ASSAULT CHARGE DOWN TO A MISDEMEANOR.

SO, YOU AREN'T PROVIDING FALSE TESTIMONY HERE TODAY...

JUST TO GET YOURSELF OUT OF A JAM, ARE YOU, MS. ORDUNO?

NO, MA'AM. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

DID ANYONE ELSE EXCEPT YOU HAPPEN TO HEAR SHARON ROONEY SAY THE THINGS YOU CLAIM SHE SAID?

ALL THE OTHER GIRLS IN OUR CELL BLOCK WERE IN THE DAY ROOM.

SO, ALL WE HAVE IS YOUR WORD THAT THIS CONVERSATION REALLY TOOK PLACE, RIGHT?

- I GUESS SO. - HAVE YOU EVER INFORMED ON AN INMATE BEFORE, MS. ORDUNO?

NEVER. BUT YOU'VE NEVER FACED A THIRD STRIKE BEFORE.

YOU'VE NEVER FACED GOING TO JAIL FOR 25 YEARS TO LIFE?

NO. SO JUST ABOUT ANYONE IN YOUR SITUATION...

MIGHT BE TEMPTED TO COOK UP A STORY TO BUY SOME CONSIDERATION FROM THE D.A.?

OBJECTION. ARGUMENTATIVE AND CALLS FOR SPECULATION.

- SUSTAINED. - HAVE YOU HAD ANY VISITORS SINCE YOU'VE BEEN INCARCERATED?

YES. DID ANY OF THEM OFFER TO PAY YOU FOR THIS TESTIMONY?

- NO. - MS. ORDUNO, ARE YOU SERIOUSLY ASKING THE JURY TO BELIEVE...

THAT SHARON ROONEY REVEALED THE LOCATION OF THE MURDER WEAPON TO YOU...

EVEN THOUGH YOU CLAIM SHE ALSO SAID HER ONLY HOPE OF AVOIDING CONVICTION...

WAS IF THE GUN WAS NEVER FOUND.

DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE TO YOU?

I DON'T KNOW WHY SHE SAID WHAT SHE SAID. ALL I KNOW IS SHE SAID IT.

DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME EITHER.

NOTHING FURTHER.

YOUR HONOR, ONE LAST QUESTION ON REDIRECT.

MS. ORDUNO, IF YOU WERE TELLING US A FAIRY TALE HERE TODAY,

HOW WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO LEAD THE POLICE TO THE MURDER WEAPON?

I COULDN'T. THANK YOU. NO MORE QUESTIONS.

I'LL HAVE THE SKINLESS CHICKEN BREAST, GRILLED.

I WONDER IF YOU COULD HOLD THE POTATOES AND GIVE ME STRING BEANS INSTEAD.

WE DON'T HAVE STRING BEANS TODAY.

I KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE THEM ON THE MENU, HONEY,

BUT I'LL BET IF YOU ASK, JOSEPH WOULD RUSTLE SOME UP.

OKAY. I'LL ASK.

THIRTY-EIGHT. I'M ALREADY WATCHING MY CHOLESTEROL.

MY OLD MAN DROPPED DEAD AT 40.

TERRY PHILBRICK, LARRY.

PHILBRICK. PHILBRICK.

HE WAS YOUR MOLE IN THE GARFIELD CAMPAIGN.

TERRY'S NOT SOMEONE YOU BRAG ABOUT KNOWING.

NO, ESPECIALLY DEAD.

THEY KNOW WHAT HE WAS PARTYING ON?

WE DON'T THINK HE DIED PARTYING, MR. WHITE.

I'M TRYING TO FIGURE THE POINT OF THIS CONVERSATION.

WELL, THE LAST THREE PHONE CALLS FROM PHILBRICK'S MOTEL ROOM WERE MADE TO YOU.

I'LL TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT, BUT I NEVER TALKED TO HIM.

PHILBRICK WAS AUCTIONING THE NAME OF GARFIELD'S MOLE IN THE VAN ALLAN CAMPAIGN.

MAYBE HE WANTED TO GIVE THE MOLE LAST BID.

LOOK, IF YOU'RE SUGGESTING THAT I BETRAYED TOM VAN ALLAN, IT'S INSULTING AND RIDICULOUS.

- WHY? - BECAUSE I IDOLIZED TOM FROM THE DAY I GRADUATED USC...

AND STARTED RINGING DOORBELLS FOR HIS FIRST CAMPAIGN FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL.

IF MEMORY SERVES, JUDAS STARTED OUT AS A FAN TOO.

OH, WELL, SO I GUESS YOU GO TO A LOT OF OLIVER STONE MOVIES?

MALCOLM DIETRICH PROVIDE THE SILVER, LARRY?

LOOK, JUST BECAUSE TERRY PHILBRICK AND I HAD A FEW PHONE CONVERSATIONS...

DOESN'T MEAN I WAS BETRAYING TOM VAN ALLAN.

- SO THOSE PHONE CALLS WERE JUST BUSINESS AS USUAL? - LOOK, I DON'T GIVE A DAMN...

WHAT YOU THINK THEY WERE.

WHO ELSE IS AWARE OF THOSE CALLS?

THE COPS, LARRY.

WHICH MAKES YOU A LIABILITY.

AND TERRY PHILBRICK DEAD ON A TOILET...

IS A HELL OF A CLUE AS TO HOW MALCOLM DIETRICH DISPOSES OF HIS LIABILITIES.

NOW MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO PUT A SPIN ON THIS,

WIDEN YOUR CIRCLE OF FRIENDS.

THAT WOULD BE YOU.

ANY PORT IN A STORM.

JOSEPH SAYS NO ON THE STRING BEANS.

THEN TELL HIM WHERE TO SHOVE THE REST OF THE MEAL.

HE'S LATE FOR HIS DALE CARNEGIE SEMINAR.

MR. ROONEY, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN MARRIED TO THE DEFENDANT?

A LITTLE OVER THREE YEARS.

AND AT SOME POINT IN YOUR MARRIAGE, SIR,

DID YOU LEARN THAT YOUR WIFE HAD BEEN UNFAITHFUL TO YOU?

YEAH. WE HAD A LITTLE, UH, DISCUSSION,

AND SHE FINALLY OWNED UP TO HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH TOM VAN ALLAN.

AND DID SHE LATER TELL YOU THAT THE GOVERNOR HAD BROKEN OFF THAT AFFAIR?

WE HAD SEPARATED BY THEN, BUT, YES, SHE DID CALL ME.

I GUESS SHE JUST DIDN'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE TO TURN TO.

- WAS SHE UPSET? - SURE.

WAS SHE ANGRY?

DO I HAVE TO ANSWER THAT?

YOUR HONOR, IT'S CLEAR THAT MR. ROONEY IS INVOKING HIS MARITAL PRIVILEGE.

ASK THAT YOU SO INFORM OPPOSING COUNSEL.

MOVE ON, MS. GRASSO. YES, YOUR HONOR.

MR. ROONEY, IN THE WEEKS FOLLOWING THIS AFFAIR,

DID YOUR WIFE ATTEMPT TO CALL THE GOVERNOR?

- OBJECTION. - SUSTAINED.

DID SHE EVER THREATEN THE GOVERNOR IN YOUR PRESENCE?

OBJECTION. YOUR HONOR, MS. GRASSO'S ENTIRE LINE OF QUESTIONING...

IS OUT OF BOUNDS, AND SHE KNOWS IT.

I HAVE JUST ONE MORE QUESTION, YOUR HONOR.

MR. ROONEY, DID YOU COME HERE TO TELL THE TRUTH OR TO PROTECT YOUR WIFE?

- OBJECTION. - WITHDRAWN. THANK YOU. NOTHING FURTHER.

- DID YOUR WIFE OWN A GUN? - NO.

- HOW ABOUT YOU? - I OWN A NINE-MILLIMETER RUGER...

AND A .22 SMITH AND WESSON SEMIAUTOMATIC.

A .22. THAT'S THE SAME CALIBER WEAPON...

THAT WAS USED TO KILL THE GOVERNOR AND MS. DONOVAN, WASN'T IT?

SO... WHAT?

SO I'M SIMPLY TRYING TO DETERMINE IF YOU WERE FAMILIAR...

WITH THE TYPE OF GUN THAT WAS USED IN THE CRIME.

YES, I HAVE FIRED A .22 BEFORE.

THANK YOU. NOW WHEN YOU WERE INFORMED OF YOUR WIFE'S AFFAIR WITH MR. VAN ALLAN,

- WERE YOU UPSET WITH HER? - YES, I WAS ANGRY. WOULDN'T YOU BE?

- WERE YOU UPSET WITH THE GOVERNOR? - DON'T I HAVE SOME PRIVILEGE?

NOT UNLESS YOU INVOKE THE FIFTH AMENDMENT RIGHT AGAINST SELF-INCRIMINATION.

WHEN YOU HEARD ABOUT YOUR WIFE'S AFFAIR, WERE YOU UPSET WITH THE GOVERNOR?

WELL, I WASN'T PLANNING ON VOTING FOR HIM, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M ASKING. I'M TRYING TO DETERMINE...

IF YOUR ANIMUS TOWARD THE GOVERNOR WENT BEYOND DENYING HIM SUPPORT.

NO. WHAT IS HE DOING?

SHH. IT DIDN'T.

ISN'T IT TRUE THAT YOU WERE DETAINED BY THE GOVERNOR'S SECURITY DETAIL ON JULY 27,

AN HOUR BEFORE HE WAS TO DELIVER A SPEECH AT THE BEVERLY HILTON HOTEL?

MM-HMM. AND I WAS RELEASED. IT WAS NO BIG DEAL.

THEN WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR VISIT?

TO TELL HIM YOU WEREN'T GOING TO GIVE HIM YOUR VOTE?

LOOK, HE WAS STRINGING SHARON ALONG. ALL I WANTED TO DO WAS TALK TO HIM.

- WERE YOU ARMED? - NO.

- DID YOU THREATEN TO HARM... - WILL YOU STOP IT!

SHARON! TAKE IT EASY, SHARON. KYLE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING! I'M THE ONE WHO'S GUILTY!

I SHOULD BE PUNISHED!

YOUR HONOR, WE REQUEST A CONFERENCE IN YOUR CHAMBERS.

WE MOVE FOR A MISTRIAL.

WHY NOT AN ACQUITTAL? AFTER ALL, YOUR CLIENT ONLY CONFESSED TO MURDER.

WHAT SHARON ROONEY DID, IT WAS SO CLEARLY PREJUDICIAL...

AS TO CONSTITUTE A GROSS VIOLATION OF HER PROTECTION AGAINST SELF-INCRIMINATION.

ARE WE READING THE SAME CONSTITUTION HERE? SHE WAIVED HER RIGHTS...

THE MINUTE SHE STOOD UP AND SAID SHE DID IT. SHE DIDN'T SAY SHE DID IT.

SHE SAID SHE DESERVED TO BE PUNISHED. YES, FOR TWO MURDERS.

YOUR HONOR, AS MS. GRASSO HERSELF HAS POINTED OUT,

MY CLIENT RECENTLY UNDERWENT AN ABORTION.

NOW THIS, TOGETHER WITH THE FACT THAT SHE'S BEEN CHARGED WITH THIS CRIME,

HAS PLACED A TREMENDOUS EMOTIONAL BURDEN ON HER.

WHAT SHE DID IN COURT WAS A CRY FOR HELP, NOT A CONFESSION TO THESE MURDERS.

THAT'S UP TO THE JURY. IF THE JURY BELIEVES SHE CONFESSED TO THESE MURDERS,

THEN THE TRIAL IS OVER BEFORE IT STARTED.

ANY GUILTY VERDICT IS ALMOST CERTAINLY GOING TO BE OVERTURNED ON APPEAL.

I'LL RISK THAT. I'M NOT GRANTING YOUR REQUEST FOR A MISTRIAL.

THEN LET ME CALL A PSYCHIATRIST THAT CAN PLACE HER OUTBURST IN ITS FULL EMOTIONAL CONTEXT.

YOU'LL HAVE YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT DURING THE DEFENSE CASE IN CHIEF.

BUT, YOUR HONOR... I'VE RULED, COUNSEL.

THE JURY WILL BE ALLOWED TO CONSIDER THE DEFENDANT'S SPONTANEOUS STATEMENT.

MR. WYLER, TELL YOUR CLIENT THAT IF SHE SPEAKS OUT AGAIN,

I WILL DEEM THAT SHE HAS WAIVED HER FIFTH AMENDMENT RIGHT TO SILENCE,

AND I WILL ALLOW MS. GRASSO TO CROSS-EXAMINE HER.

THE MERRY WIDOW IS OUTSIDE... CAROLINE VAN ALLAN.

SHE'D LIKE A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME.

SEND HER IN.

MRS. VAN ALLAN. I'LL GET RIGHT TO THE POINT, MR. WYLER.

I GATHER YOUR REQUEST FOR MONEY FROM THE COURT WAS NOT AS SUCCESSFUL AS YOU'D HOPED.

THAT'S ONE WAY TO PUT IT.

WELL, AT THE RISK OF INFLAMING WHATEVER SUSPICIONS...

YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE ABOUT ME, MAYBE I CAN HELP.

HOW? BY FUNDING SHARON ROONEY'S DEFENSE...

ON ANY TERMS YOU FIND ACCEPTABLE.

I FIND THE WHOLE IDEA UNACCEPTABLE.

SHARON'S BEEN ACCUSED OF MURDERING YOUR HUSBAND.

AND IN ALL PROBABILITY, I'LL BE QUESTIONING YOU ON THE STAND.

IS THAT THE REASON?

OR IS IT YOUR PRIDE THAT PREVENTS YOU FROM ACCEPTING MY HELP?

IT'S A POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST. BECAUSE I FIND THAT MEN...

OFTEN LET THEIR IMAGE OF THEMSELVES OVERRULE THEIR COMMON SENSE.

AND YOU'RE AN EXPERT ON MEN, ARE YOU?

CERTAIN MEN.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BANKROLL MY CLIENT'S DEFENSE?

IN SPITE OF HER OUTBURST IN COURT TODAY,

I'M STILL NOT CONVINCED SHE MURDERED MY HUSBAND.

AND I DON'T TRUST THE AUTHORITIES TO FIND OUT WHO DID.

WELL, I'LL HAVE TO DECLINE, ALL THE SAME.

LEAVING OPEN THE QUESTION OF WHERE YOU'LL GET THE MONEY.

I'LL FIGURE IT OUT.

NO MATTER WHAT... I WILL DEFEND MY CLIENT.

WELL, I'VE SAID MY PIECE.

GOOD EVENING, MR. WYLER.

SHOULD YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND... I WON'T.

GOOD NIGHT, MRS. VAN ALLAN.

GWEN, WOULD YOU GET LAURA ON THE PHONE, PLEASE? SURE.

I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO COMMIT BANK FRAUD.

I JUST NEED YOU TO INCREASE THE VALUATION OF THE HOUSE SO THAT THEY'LL UP THE LOAN.

I CAN'T DO THAT. OH, COME ON.

WE BOTH KNOW THEY LOWBALLED THE EVALUATION.

THERE'S A HOUSE UP THE STREET THAT SOLD FOR 700,000.

THE APPRAISAL WAS FAIR, JIMMY.

WELL, OKAY. HOW ABOUT A 90-DAY PERSONAL NOTE?

UNSECURED? WELL, IT'LL HAVE MY SIGNATURE ON IT.

COME ON. A SIGNATURE OF THE GUY YOU'VE BEEN LIVIN' WITH,

PRACTICALLY, FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS.

WHICH IS PRECISELY WHY I CAN'T TOUCH SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

LOOK, I KNOW YOU'RE FRUSTRATED, BUT THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT I CAN DO.

SO YOU'RE REFUSING TO HELP ME. DON'T TURN THIS INTO SOME KIND OF BETRAYAL.

OH, I'M NOT QUESTIONING YOUR LOYALTY AT ALL.

IT'S PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT MALCOLM DIETRICH HAS A VERY FAITHFUL EMPLOYEE.

TO HELL WITH YOU.

HERE'S THE FINANCIAL RELIEF CHECK, SUCH AS IT IS.

HAVE ARNOLD DEPOSIT THAT IN THE FIRM'S ACCOUNT.

THIS IS ALL THE JUDGE GAVE YOU? MY KID HAS GOT MORE THAN THIS IN HIS PIGGY BANK.

MAYBE I SHOULD HIT HIM UP FOR A LOAN. JIMMY,

YOU MIGHT WANT TO BUY YOURSELF A LOTTERY TICKET TODAY. WHY'S THAT?

MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH ON JUROR NUMBER SIX.

I WENT OVER CONNOVER'S JURY QUESTIONNAIRE AGAIN.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ARRESTED?

NO." BUT 10 YEARS AGO, HE AND A BUNCH OF NEIGHBORS...

WERE PROTESTING THE OPENING OF A TOPLESS BAR NEAR A SCHOOL IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.

A FIGHT BROKE OUT, AND A COUPLE OF COPS GOT HURT.

CONNOVER WAS CHARGED, BUT THE JUDGE TOSSED IT FOR LACK OF EVIDENCE.

APPARENTLY, CONNOVER CHOSE TO FORGET ABOUT IT. WHERE'D YOU GET IT?

WE GOT LUCKY. I ASKED FRANK TO CHECK WITH A BUDDY OF HIS...

AT L.A.P.D. R&I DIVISION, AND THERE IT WAS.

YOU THINK THIS IS ENOUGH TO GET CONNOVER EXCUSED? IT'S UP TO THE JUDGE.

BUT WE GOT A SHOT. ATTABOY, ARNOLD.

PLEASE DESCRIBE WHAT YOU FOUND...

I ARRIVED AT APPROXIMATELY 1:45 A.M.

THE CRIME SCENE HAD BEEN FROZEN BY THE INVESTIGATING OFFICERS,

AND THE PARAMEDICS HAD PRONOUNCED THE VICTIMS.

IN ADDITION TO BEING THE SENIOR CRIMINALIST FROM S.I.D. ASSIGNED TO THE CASE,

DID YOU ALSO PARTICIPATE IN COLLECTING EVIDENCE?

YES. I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR COLLECTING HAIR AND FIBER.

I DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO PEOPLE'S EXHIBIT 33.

UH, WOULD YOU TELL US IF THIS WAS RECOVERED FROM THE SCENE?

- YES, IT IS. - WOULD YOU DESCRIBE IT FOR US, PLEASE,

AND WITH THE FLOOR PLAN, WOULD YOU INDICATE WHERE YOU FOUND IT?

THOSE ARE THREE STRANDS OF BLONDE HAIR...

WHICH I FOUND ON THE DECK JUST OUTSIDE THE BEDROOM.

WERE YOU ABLE TO ESTABLISH ANY CONNECTION...

BETWEEN THOSE STRANDS OF HAIR AND THE DEFENDANT?

THE HAIR RECOVERED AT THE SCENE MATCHES THE HAIR SAMPLE...

WE SUBSEQUENTLY OBTAINED FROM MS. ROONEY.

AND CAN YOU DESCRIBE ANY OTHER FIBER OR HAIR EVIDENCE...

THAT YOU RECOVERED FROM THE CRIME SCENE?

AT THE FOOT OF THE BED, I FOUND NYLON CARPET FIBER, WHICH WAS BEIGE IN COLOR.

THE MATERIAL IS ALSO KNOWN AS ANSO IV.

IS THERE A BEIGE CARPET AT THE LANCASTER HOUSE?

NO. THERE IS NOT.

DID YOUR INVESTIGATION LOCATE THE SOURCE FOR THOSE FIBERS?

THEY MATCHED THOSE WE DISCOVERED...

DURING A SEARCH OF THE DEFENDANT'S APARTMENT.

THERE IS A BEIGE ANSO IV CARPET IN HER BEDROOM.

IS IT YOUR TESTIMONY, THEN, THAT THERE IS A TRAIL OF HAIR AND FIBER EVIDENCE...

THAT LED FROM THE DEFENDANT'S PALMS APARTMENT...

TO THE FOOT OF THE BED WHERE THE KILLER STOOD...

AND SHOT GOVERNOR VAN ALLAN AND MS. DONOVAN IN COLD BLOOD?

- THAT IS MY TESTIMONY, YES. - THANK YOU. NOTHING FURTHER.

SIR, YOU WERE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE...

WHEN THE HAIR AND FIBER WERE DEPOSITED AT THE MURDER SCENE, WERE YOU?

NOT PRECISELY. BUT WE DID VERIFY THAT THE MAID...

HAD WASHED THE DECK AND VACUUMED THE FLOORS...

- ON THE THURSDAY PRIOR TO THE MURDERS... - SO YOUR ANSWER IS, NO,

YOU WERE NOT ABLE TO. WHAT WE DID DO WAS ISOLATE A VERY NARROW WINDOW...

SIR, PLEASE FORGIVE ME. IF YOU ALLOW ME TO FINISH MY QUESTION,

I PROMISE I'LL ALLOW YOU AMPLE TIME TO RESPOND. NOW TO CONFIRM.

YOU CANNOT STATE THAT THE HAIR AND FIBER WERE DEPOSITED ON THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER.

- IS THAT CORRECT? - CORRECT.

THANK YOU. NOW WITH RESPECT TO THE BEIGE FIBER THAT YOU COLLECTED,

CAN YOU TELL THE COURT HOW MANY SQUARE FEET OF ANSO IV ARE MANUFACTURED IN ONE YEAR?

I HAVE NO IDEA.

WOULD IT SURPRISE YOU TO LEARN THAT THERE ARE TWO MILLION SQUARE FEET...

OF ANSO IV UNDERFOOT IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY ALONE?

OBJECTION. MR. GANDOLPHI IS A CRIMINALIST NOT A RUG MERCHANT.

OVERRULED. YOU MAY ANSWER THE QUESTION, MR. GANDOLPHI.

I DON'T BELIEVE SHARON ROONEY'S IS THE ONLY APARTMENT CONTAINING THAT TYPE CARPET, NO.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF CARPET IS ON THE FLOOR OF, OH,

SAY, DETECTIVE BIGGIO'S HOUSE OR IN THE RESIDENCES OF ALL THE OTHER S.I.D. CRIMINALISTS...

TROOPING IN AND OUT OF THE MURDER SCENE,

TRACKING IN WHO-KNOWS-WHAT FROM OTHER LOCATIONS?

THOSE PEOPLE ARE ALL PROFESSIONALS, TRAINED TO BE DILIGENT...

ABOUT PRESERVING THE INTEGRITY OF AN INVESTIGATION SITE.

EVEN SO, YOU'D HAVE TO BE PART SCIENTIST, PART CHOREOGRAPHER...

TO KEEP TRACK OF THEM, WOULDN'T YOU, MR. GANDOLPHI?

I HAVE A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN CHEMISTRY FROM YALE...

AND TWO GRADUATE DEGREES IN MY FIELD AS WELL.

A DEGREE IN CHOREOGRAPHY NEVER REALLY SEEMED NECESSARY.

FAIR ENOUGH. BUT WOULD IT BE CORRECT TO SAY...

THAT YOUR JOB REQUIRES A RIGID ATTENTION TO DETAIL,

ATTENTION OVER MANY HOURS TO A MULTITUDE OF FACTORS...

- WHICH CONSTITUTE A CRIME SCENE, WOULD IT NOT? - YES.

DO YOU SUFFER FROM ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER, MR. GANDOLPHI?

EXCUSE ME?

I'LL REPEAT. DO YOU SUFFER FROM THE MENTAL AFFLICTION COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A.D.D.?

OBJECTION. THIS LINE OF QUESTIONING HAS ABSOLUTELY NO RELEVANCE WHATSOEVER.

YOUR HONOR, IT'S OUR POSITION MR. GANDOLPHI'S CONDITION,

WHICH OFTEN RESULTS IN CONFUSION AND DISORIENTATION,

SEVERELY RESTRICTED HIS ABILITY TO PROCESS THE EVIDENCE.

I'LL ALLOW IT, BUT TREAD LIGHTLY, MS. APPLETON.

DO YOU NEED ME TO REPEAT THE QUESTION, SIR? NO.

IT'S TRUE. I HAVE A.D.D. BUT IT'S ALSO TRUE THAT I TAKE MEDICATION WHICH CONTROLS IT.

AND WHAT IS THAT MEDICATION? DEXEDRINE SPANSULE.

WHEN DO YOU TAKE THEM? WHEN I GET UP IN THE MORNING AND AT LUNCHTIME.

SO, AT 1:45 A.M. ON AUGUST 20,

YOU HADN'T TAKEN YOUR MEDICATION IN...

ALMOST 14 HOURS?

- WERE YOU DISORIENTED? - NO.

WERE YOU CONFUSED? NO.

THEN WHAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE FACT THAT THE MATTRESS TICKING WASN'T REMOVED...

WHEN THE BED WAS STRIPPED AT THE MURDER SCENE?

THAT IS S.I.D. PROTOCOL, IS IT NOT? TO STRIP ALL BEDDING COMPLETELY?

IT IS PROTOCOL. THE FAILURE TO REMOVE THE TICKING...

WAS A MINOR DEPARTURE FROM PROCEDURE,

WHICH, WHEN LATER CORRECTED, PROVED TO BE OF NO CONSEQUENCE.

DID YOU TAKE YOUR MEDICATION AT LUNCH TODAY, SIR?

I DIDN'T EAT LUNCH. I WAS REVIEWING MY NOTES PRIOR TO TESTIFYING.

THEN YOUR ANSWER IS, NO, YOU DID NOT TAKE YOUR MEDICATION.

- I DID NOT. - THEN, SIR, IF YOUR ATTENTION STARTS TO WANDER,

OR YOU NEED ME TO REPEAT ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

YOU SON OF A BITCH!

HARRY, PLEASE. I'VE BEEN RACKING MY BRAIN, PAL.

HOW MANY BEERS DID WE DRINK OVER HOW MANY YEARS? WHAT ELSE DID I CONFIDE IN MY FRIEND...

BESIDES MY MEDICAL CONDITION? I WISH THERE HAD BEEN ANOTHER WAY.

I'M SURPRISED YOU DIDN'T BRING UP MY VASECTOMY. EXCUSE ME!

HOW YOUR SURROGATE HERE DIDN'T BRING IT UP...

BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE BALLS TO GO FOR MY THROAT YOURSELF.

YOU KNEW AS A PROSECUTOR THAT I WOULD DO ANYTHING...

TO BRING SOMEBODY DOWN I THOUGHT WAS GUILTY.

WHY SHOULD I DO LESS FOR SOMEBODY I KNOW IS INNOCENT?

WHAT ARE YOU TELLING ME? YOU THINK YOUR CLIENT'S INNOCENT?

IF THAT'S THE CON YOU'RE RUNNIN' ON YOURSELF,

SO YOU COULD DESTROY MY CREDIBILITY AND WRECK MY CAREER,

THEN I DON'T KNOW YOU ANYMORE, JIMMY.

YOU'RE GONNA HURT YOUR EYES.

I CAN'T AFFORD THE ELECTRICITY.

THAT WAS A LOW BLOW. FORGET I SAID IT.

I ACTED LIKE A JERK.

ARE WE OKAY?

NO, WE'RE NOT OKAY.

IT'S NOT WORKING, JIMMY.

I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW HARD IT WOULD BE...

TO MOVE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COURTROOM.

I'VE LOST FRIENDS, COLLEAGUES.

I DON'T WANT OUR RELATIONSHIP TO BE A CASUALTY TOO.

THAT'S WHERE IT'S HEADED.

YOU QUESTION MY PROMOTION. YOU OBSESS ON ROGER GARFIELD.

YOU SEE MALCOLM DIETRICH BEHIND EVERY DOOR.

IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU'RE CHEATING ON ME,

HAVING THIS PASSIONATE AFFAIR WITH YOUR OWN PARANOIA.

I'M JUST DOING MY JOB. DON'T MAKE THIS ABOUT YOU.

I CARE FOR YOU, JIMMY.

BUT IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE ANY KIND OF FUTURE,

I THINK WE NEED TO STOP SEEING EACH OTHER UNTIL AFTER THIS TRIAL IS OVER.

CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT I AM TRYING TO KEEP...

A WOMAN WHO I BELIEVE IS INNOCENT FROM BEING EXECUTED?

I DO UNDERSTAND. AND I KNOW WHAT IT'S GONNA TAKE...

100% OF YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.

I'M A BANKER, JIMMY. I'VE DONE THE MATH.

GOOD NIGHT.

MR. WHITE?

I DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

I'M THE MOLE IN TOM VAN ALLAN'S CAMPAIGN. BUT YOU KNEW THAT, DIDN'T YOU?

COME IN. COME IN.

WHO WERE YOU WORKING FOR?

NOT WHO, COUNSELOR.

THE CORRECT QUESTION IS WHAT I WAS WORKING FOR.

THE ANSWER IS ONE MILLION DOLLARS,

SITTING IN A NUMBERED ACCOUNT IN ZURICH.

ONCE AGAIN, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO KNOW WHO PAID YOU.

YOU ALREADY KNOW.

DIETRICH OWNS BANKS.

THE TRANSFER OF FUNDS WAS A SNAP.

SO WAS THE TRANSFER OF MY LOYALTY.

YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW IT GETS TO BE SO EASY?

SURE.

WHAT YOU DO IS...

YOU CONVINCE YOURSELF THAT YOUR FRIEND IS FLAWED.

YOU PUSH ASIDE ALL OF HIS POSITIVE QUALITIES,

AND YOU EMPHASIZE THE NEGATIVE...

THE HARDBALL POLITICS, THE FINANCIAL COMPROMISES,

THE... EXTRAMARITAL AFFAIRS.

AFTER THAT, IT'S EASY TO STAB HIM IN THE BACK.

THE MAN YOU'VE BEEN DEDICATED TO FOR 11 YEARS...

ACTUALLY DESERVES TO BE BETRAYED.

THE MILLION DOLLARS...

THAT'S JUST FOR YOUR FAMILY, FOR YOUR KIDS' FUTURES.

IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE THING.

AND WHEN YOU FINALLY SELL HIM OUT,

YOU'RE CERTAIN IT WAS THE RIGHTEOUS THING TO DO.

UNTIL HE ENDS UP DEAD.

AND THEN...

YOU REALIZE...

HE WASN'T THE ONE WHO CHANGED.

IT WAS YOU.

SOMEWHERE IN THOSE 11 YEARS, YOU LOST SOMETHING.

OR MAYBE YOU NEVER HAD IT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

AND WHAT DID MALCOLM DIETRICH GET FOR HIS MONEY?

WHATEVER HE WANTED TO KNOW.

I TOLD HIM WHAT WENT ON IN OUR STRATEGY MEETINGS,

ABOUT CAMPAIGN FINANCES, TOM'S SEXUAL LIAISONS.

COME ON, MR. WYLER. ASK ME THE QUESTION.

I'VE BEEN ASKING IT MYSELF FOR TWO AND A HALF MONTHS.

DID I UNWITTINGLY...

SET UP THE MURDER OF THE ONLY MAN THAT I EVER TRULY ADMIRED?

THE ANSWER IS, YES,

I BELIEVE I DID.

ARE YOU WILLING TO TESTIFY TO THAT IN COURT?

AND WIND UP LIKE TERRY PHILBRICK? NO, THANKS.

THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

YOU TESTIFY FOR US, WE'LL PUT YOU ON ICE.

I GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY.

MM.

I'M DRUNK, MY FRIEND. NOT STUPID.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN REDEMPTION, MR. WHITE?

AS LONG AS IT DOESN'T REQUIRE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS.

I'VE BEEN A PROSECUTOR FOR 12 YEARS.

I'VE GOTTEN WISE GUYS TO ROLL ON THEIR OWN CRIME FAMILIES.

THEY DID IT BECAUSE THEY KNEW THAT I WOULD PROTECT THEM.

NOT ONE OF THEM NEEDED SO MUCH AS A BAND-AID.

I KNOW IT'S A LEAP OF FAITH, LARRY,

BUT IT'S IN BOTH OUR INTERESTS THAT YOU MAKE IT.

I GOT LARRY WHITE SET UP IN HIS NEW DIGS.

PLACE IS REAL QUIET, REAL PRIVATE.

I HATE TO ASK... WHAT'S THIS COSTING US?

110 BUCKS A DAY PLUS UTILITIES.

I'M TRYIN' TO SWING A BETTER DEAL WITH THE APARTMENT MANAGER.

YEAH, WELL, THE SOONER THE BETTER. WE'RE IN EXTREMIS, JIMMY.

THEY SHUT OFF WESTLAW HALFWAY THROUGH MY MEMO ON STARE DECISIS.

IF WE DON'T PAY UP SOON, I'M BACK TO DOING RESEARCH IN THE STONE AGE.

THE SPARKLETTS MAN EVEN TOOK THE WATERCOOLER.

I'LL GET THE MONEY.

FIRST, I'VE GOT TO DEAL WITH JUDGE BELL ABOUT JUROR NUMBER SIX.

SO JUST... JUST HANG TIGHT.

CLEARLY, JUROR NUMBER SIX DID NOT TELL THE TRUTH.

I HAVE SPOKEN WITH MR. CONNOVER, AND I AM SATISFIED...

IT WAS NOT HIS INTENT TO DECEIVE THE COURT.

RATHER, IN HIS MIND, THE DISMISSAL ENCOMPASSED EVERYTHING.

- BUT HE WAS WRONG. - COUNSEL'S INSISTING THAT A LAYPERSON...

WOULD UNDERSTAND SUCH LEGAL NUANCES SOLELY BECAUSE IT BENEFITS HIS CASE.

THE FACT REMAINS THAT THE JUROR WAS PROSECUTED BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE,

OF WHICH I WAS RANKING DEPUTY AT THE TIME.

NOW THERE IS A LEGITIMATE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT HE HARBORS ANIMUS,

AND THAT COULD BE PREJUDICIAL TOWARDS MY CLIENT.

IF THAT ARGUMENT HELD WATER, WHICH IT DOESN'T,

I ALSO WAS IN THE D.A.'s OFFICE AT THAT TIME.

IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT EVENS UP THE BOOKS, FORGET IT. YOU WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT.

I WORK FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WHOSE RIGHTS TO A FAIR TRIAL...

- ARE PROTECTED BY THE SIXTH AMENDMENT. - MR. WYLER,

LET ME STOP YOU RIGHT THERE BEFORE YOU START SINGING "THE BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC."

NOW THIS MOTION, ON ITS FACE, APPEARS SOUND.

BUT IN TRUTH, IT REVEALS AN INNOCENT MISTAKE...

THAT ANY LAYPERSON COULD HAVE MADE THAT, IN MY JUDGMENT,

YOU ARE EXPLOITING FOR STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE.

MOTION DENIED.

- YOUR HONOR, IF I COULD BE HEARD ON... - YOU HAVE BEEN HEARD.

I'VE MADE MY RULING.

WE'RE DONE.

BASED ON THE INFORMATION GIVEN TO US BY ADRIENNE ORDUNO,

WE CANVASSED THE ROADSIDE IN THE 19,000 BLOCK OF PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY...

AND RECOVERED THE WEAPON FROM BEHIND A RETAINING WALL.

- DID YOU RUN THE SERIAL NUMBER? - YES.

AND WERE YOU ABLE TO DETERMINE WHO THE WEAPON WAS REGISTERED TO?

SALLY VAUGHN, THE DEFENDANT'S ROOMMATE,

WHO HAD REPORTED THE WEAPON MISSING SEVERAL DAYS PRIOR TO THE MURDERS.

NOW, IS THIS THE SAME CALIBER WEAPON...

USED TO KILL GOVERNOR TOM VAN ALLAN AND MARLEE DONOVAN?

- YES, IT IS. - WERE THERE ANY FINGERPRINTS FOUND ON THE GUN, DETECTIVE?

NO. IF SHARON ROONEY USED IT...

TO SHOOT GOVERNOR VAN ALLAN AND MS. DONOVAN,

CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY HER PRINTS WOULDN'T BE FOUND ON THE GUN?

IF SHE WAS WEARING GLOVES, THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY PRINTS.

ON THE 20th OF AUGUST, ONE DAY AFTER THE MURDERS,

DID YOU CONDUCT THE SEARCH OF MS. ROONEY'S APARTMENT?

YES. CAN YOU TELL THE COURT WHAT YOU FOUND?

AFTER SEARCHING THE BEDROOM AND LIVING ROOM,

DETECTIVE MITCHELL AND I ENTERED THE KITCHEN.

IN A CUPBOARD BELOW THE SINK, WE DISCOVERED A BOX OF...

DISPOSABLE ALADAN MEDIUM-SIZED LATEX GLOVES.

THE BOX HAD BEEN OPENED, AND ONE PAIR WAS MISSING.

IS THAT THE BOX, OFFICER?

YES, IT IS. YOUR HONOR,

WE'D LIKE TO ENTER INTO EVIDENCE PEOPLE'S EXHIBIT 19.

THANK YOU. NOTHING FURTHER.

THIS PAIR OF MISSING GLOVES, DETECTIVE,

I ASSUME YOU'VE BEEN KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR THEM.

YES. DID YOU FIND THEM YET?

- NOPE. - ARE YOU AWARE THAT MS. ROONEY'S HUSBAND IS A MEDICAL STUDENT?

YES. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE BOX OF GLOVES BELONGS TO HIM?

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT HE AND THE DEFENDANT WERE SEPARATED.

WELL, AS ANYBODY WHO'S GONE THROUGH A BREAKUP KNOWS,

BELONGINGS OFTEN GET COMINGLED... SWEATERS, CD COLLECTIONS.

COULDN'T THAT BE HOW THE BOX OF GLOVES GOT THERE?

I SUPPOSE.

MY MOTHER OWNS A BOX OF GLOVES JUST LIKE THAT.

KEEPS THEM IN THE KITCHEN. USES THEM TO CLEAN HER SILVERWARE.

DO YOU CONSIDER MY MOTHER A SUSPECT IN THIS CASE?

- NO. - NOW YOU'VE INVESTIGATED A NUMBER OF HOMICIDES, CORRECT?

MANY OF THEM WITH YOU, COUNSELOR.

THEN WE BOTH KNOW THAT ANY CRIMINAL THAT WEARS...

A PAIR OF GLOVES TO COMMIT A MURDER IS PRETTY SAVVY, RIGHT?

THAT WOULD SHOW PREMEDITATION. AM I CORRECT?

YES. THEN YOU HAVE TO HELP ME OUT HERE, DETECTIVE.

WHY WOULD SOMEBODY WHO PLANNED A COLD-BLOODED, PREMEDITATED KILLING...

LEAVE WHAT YOU CLAIM IS INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE IN PLAIN SIGHT IN A KITCHEN CUPBOARD?

NOW THAT DOESN'T EXACTLY DESCRIBE A CONSISTENT PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR, DOES IT?

AS YOU MIGHT RECALL, COUNSELOR, THAT'S HOW WE CATCH CRIMINALS...

THROUGH THEIR INCONSISTENCIES.

HAVE YOU EVER INTERVIEWED MICHAEL BEIDEN ABOUT THESE KILLINGS?

- OF COURSE. - AS A WITNESS OR A SUSPECT?

THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE THAT HE WAS INVOLVED IN THIS CRIME.

THE D.A.'s OFFICE GENERALLY REQUIRES EVIDENCE BEFORE THEY FILE CHARGES.

HAVE YOU ESTABLISHED ROGER GARFIELD'S WHEREABOUTS ON THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER?

NO. HOW ABOUT CAROLINE VAN ALLAN?

SHE WAS IN SACRAMENTO, 400 MILES FROM THE SCENE.

ALL THE EVIDENCE POINTED TO YOUR CLIENT.

YOU MEAN ALL THE EVIDENCE THAT YOU COLLECTED, RIGHT? OBJECTION.

HE'S BAITING THE WITNESS. SUSTAINED. MOVE ON.

DETECTIVE, CAN YOU RECALL A CIRCUMSTANTIAL CASE SUCH AS THIS ONE,

WHERE ALL THE EVIDENCE POINTED TO THE DEFENDANT,

YOU TESTIFIED AGAINST THE DEFENDANT, THE DEFENDANT WAS CONVICTED,

ONLY LATER TO BE FOUND INNOCENT?

OBJECTION. IRRELEVANT.

YOUR HONOR, I HAVE SPECIFIC FACTS THAT WILL IMPEACH THE TESTIMONY OF THIS WITNESS.

OVERRULED.

HOW ABOUT IT, DETECTIVE? CAN YOU RECALL SUCH A CASE?

YOU'RE REFERRING TO THE LUIS SORIANO CASE.

- THAT WAS EARLY IN MY CAREER. - AND WHAT HAPPENED TO LUIS SORIANO?

YOU KNOW PERFECTLY WELL WHAT HAPPENED. YOU WERE THE PROSECUTOR IN THAT TRIAL.

ASK THAT THE WITNESS BE DIRECTED TO ANSWER THE QUESTION...

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU, PAL.

YOU'RE ON THE WITNESS STAND, DETECTIVE! YOU ANSWER MY QUESTIONS NOW.

MR. WYLER. DETECTIVE BIGGIO.

THIS IS MY COURTROOM. DON'T USE IT TO SETTLE YOUR PERSONAL GRUDGES.

I APOLOGIZE, YOUR HONOR.

ANSWER THE QUESTION.

ONCE AGAIN, YOU TESTIFIED THAT ALL THE EVIDENCE POINTED TO LUIS SORIANO.

AND MR. SORIANO WAS CONVICTED AND SENT AWAY FOR NINE YEARS FOR ARMED ROBBERY.

- IS THAT CORRECT? - CORRECT.

DID YOU LATER DETERMINE THAT SOMEBODY ELSE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT CRIME?

- YES. - BUT IT WAS TOO LATE FOR MR. SORIANO...

BECAUSE SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HIM, RIGHT?

- YEAH. - WHAT HAPPENED TO MR. SORIANO, DETECTIVE?

HE WAS KILLED IN A PRISON FIGHT.

EIGHT DAYS BEFORE HE WAS DUE TO BE RELEASED, CORRECT?

YEAH.

NOTHING FURTHER, YOUR HONOR.

CONGRATULATIONS. WHAT FOR?

EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT STARE DECISIS.

I THOUGHT THAT WESTLAW WAS HISTORY.

COME ON, JIMMY. THERE'S NO NEED FOR MODESTY.

I WENT DOWN TO THE BANK TO TALK TO DARRYL PAIGE.

I THOUGHT I MIGHT BE ABLE TO FINAGLE SOME KIND OF CREDIT LINE.

BUT BEFORE I COULD SLIP ON MY KNEE PADS AND START MY BEGGING,

HE TOLD ME THERE IS $200,000 IN YOUR ACCOUNT.

- WHAT? - DID YOU ROB AN ARMORED CAR ON YOUR LUNCH HOUR?

I DON'T WANT A DIME OF THAT MONEY SPENT.

TOO LATE. I ALREADY DEPOSITED MY PAYCHECK.

ME TOO. WE CAN'T STOP THE CHECKS TO OUR STAFF AND SUPPLIERS.

- WE'LL LOSE THEM FOR GOOD. - HOW MUCH OF THE MONEY'S GONE?

26,000.

JIMMY, MALCOLM DIETRICH'S HERE TO SEE YOU.

LOOK, I, UH... I GOT TO GET INTO THIS.

UH, IN THE MEANTIME, NOT ANOTHER DIME.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU, MR. DIETRICH?

I'M HERE FOR PERSONAL REASONS.

BUT BY ALL MEANS, TURN ON YOUR METER FOR OUR CONVERSATION.

WELL, THERE YOU GO, CONFUSING ME WITH A TAXI SERVICE.

YOU KNOW, MR. WYLER,

I'M NOT PLANNIN' TO DIE FOR A WHILE.

BUT EVERY MORNING WHEN I GET UP,

AND AT NIGHT BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP,

I THINK ABOUT MY ACCOUNTS WITH PEOPLE.

IF I GO, I WANT MY BOOKS SQUARE.

AND YOU JUST DON'T TRUST YOUR BUSINESS MANAGER.

YOU REALIZE WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT MONEY ACCOUNTS HERE.

AND I HOPE WHEN WE'RE FINISHED, YOU WON'T FEEL THAT SOPHOMORE IRONY...

IS THE TONE YOU WANT TO TAKE WITH ME.

I HAVE NO INTEREST IN TALKING TO YOU AT ALL.

NOT SQUARING ACCOUNTS IS WHY YOU FEEL THAT WAY.

I LEFT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS WITH YOUR FATHER.

DON'T YOU BRING HIM INTO THIS. I LEFT SOME UNFINISHED BUSINESS,

AND IT'S CARRIED OVER LIKE IT ALWAYS DOES.

MR. WYLER, THE PRESENT IS HARD ENOUGH,

SQUARING OFF WITH FOLKS THAT ARE FLESH AND BLOOD.

WHEN GHOSTS START LACING UP THEIR GLOVES, THE RING GETS KINDA CROWDED.

SPARE ME THE COME-ON, MR. DIETRICH.

SPEAK YOUR MIND, AND LET'S MAKE AN EARLY EVENING OF THIS.

YOU THINK I UNDID YOUR FATHER IN SOME WAY,

THAT I CORRUPTED HIM IN HIS UNION WORK.

YOU DIDN'T JUST CORRUPT HIM. YOU DESTROYED HIM.

YOU KNOW, I'M OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW I CAN'T CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU CAN HEAR AN APOLOGY...

FOR WRONGS DONE OR PERCEIVED.

FROM A MAN WHO WANTS HIS BOOKS SQUARE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

APOLOGY ACCEPTED.

REALLY? REALLY.

AND WITH GREAT CONVICTION.

WELL, THERE'S THAT SOPHOMORE IRONY AGAIN.

WELL, I PREFER TO THINK OF IT AS GROWN-UP CONTEMPT.

A GROWN MAN WOULD KNOW WHEN HE'S OVERMATCHED...

AND ACCEPT THAT WITH GRACE...

AND TURN THE SITUATION AROUND TO HIS BENEFIT.

WELL, I GUESS WE JUST CAN'T AGREE ON A PREMISE.

ALL RIGHT.

OH, I UNDERSTAND YOU FOUND YOURSELF A SECRET WITNESS LAST EVENING.

YOU WON'T FIND HIM, MR. DIETRICH.

SURE, I WILL, JIMMY.

JUST AS SURE AS I PUT YOUR DAD IN MY POCKET.

GOOD EVENING, MR. WYLER.

COFFEE? NO, THANKS.

I HAVE A HARD ENOUGH TIME SLEEPING AS IT IS.

I WAS DISSATISFIED WITH THE WAY OUR PHONE CONVERSATION ENDED.

WELL, PUTTING IN A PERSONAL APPEARANCE WON'T DO ANYTHING...

EXCEPT SAVE ME A MESSENGER'S FEE.

A CHECK FOR $174,000...

AND A PROMISSORY NOTE FOR THE BALANCE.

I CAN SEE I'VE WOUNDED YOUR PRIDE.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY PRIDE.

WHEN I TOLD YOU I COULDN'T ACCEPT YOUR MONEY, I MEANT IT.

BECAUSE YOU SUSPECT ME OF SOME HIDDEN AGENDA, RIGHT?

QUITE FRANKLY, YES.

WELL, I CAN ASSURE YOU MY ONLY AGENDA IS TO FIND TOM'S KILLER.

WHAT YOU WANT IS CONTROL.

A WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF WHEN YOU'RE ON THE STAND.

NOW WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS BEFORE. IT'S A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

ONLY IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO HANDLE ME WITH KID GLOVES.

HAVING SEEN YOU IN ACTION, I DON'T THINK THERE'S MUCH DANGER OF THAT.

THE LINE OF PEOPLE THAT THINK I'VE SOLD OUT ALREADY EXTENDS AROUND THE BLOCK.

I'M NOT LOOKING TO MAKE YOUR JOB ANY HARDER THAN IT IS, ALL RIGHT?

THE ONLY REASON I DEPOSITED THAT CHECK INTO YOUR ACCOUNT...

WAS SO THAT I COULD FINALLY PUT MY MONEY TO SOME GOOD PURPOSE.

IN CASE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN, I'M A VICTIM IN THIS CASE TOO.

IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A LOAN.

OF COURSE.

BUT I'M STILL GONNA GO AFTER YOU ON THE STAND IF I HAVE TO.

I'M GONNA DO EVERYTHING I CAN TO PROTECT THE BEST INTERESTS OF MY CLIENT.

NATURALLY.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER INTERESTS YOU'D LIKE TO TURN YOUR ATTENTION TO?

THERE IS NOTHING FOR SALE HERE, MRS. VAN ALLAN.

THEN THIS IS FOR FREE.
