1
00:00:01,131 --> 00:00:02,826
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:02,899 --> 00:00:06,766
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:06,835 --> 00:00:08,598
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,671 --> 00:00:11,537
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,606 --> 00:00:13,574
These are their stories.
6
00:00:14,375 --> 00:00:17,640
The coffee shop is open till 1:00 a.
M. Here's your thermostat.
7
00:00:17,712 --> 00:00:18,735
It's left for cooler,
right for hotter.
8
00:00:18,812 --> 00:00:19,801
Cut that out!
9
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,438
Hey! Get off!
I mean it!
10
00:00:21,515 --> 00:00:23,142
You've got extra blankets
in the closet there.
11
00:00:23,216 --> 00:00:24,843
Right. There's a 24-hour
dry-cleaning service.
12
00:00:24,918 --> 00:00:25,942
Just call the valet.
13
00:00:26,019 --> 00:00:27,815
How do we get this channel?
14
00:00:27,887 --> 00:00:29,615
"Naked Nights."
We don't.
15
00:00:29,688 --> 00:00:31,883
I can have the desk block that.
Thank you.
16
00:00:31,956 --> 00:00:33,616
The health club is
open till 10:00 p.m.
17
00:00:33,691 --> 00:00:35,318
You just take the
elevator marked roof.
18
00:00:35,392 --> 00:00:36,723
We have a video checkout.
19
00:00:36,794 --> 00:00:38,091
There's an information
card on the desk...
20
00:00:38,162 --> 00:00:40,255
What's in here?
That is called a mini-bar.
21
00:00:40,331 --> 00:00:42,355
We will not be using that.
22
00:00:42,632 --> 00:00:44,065
Joey took a can of pop.
23
00:00:44,133 --> 00:00:45,794
Joey!
How much is that?
24
00:00:46,269 --> 00:00:47,293
$3.50.
25
00:00:47,370 --> 00:00:48,461
Jeez!
You're kidding.
26
00:00:48,837 --> 00:00:50,031
Can we put it back?
27
00:00:50,105 --> 00:00:51,231
I don't think it goes back.
28
00:00:51,306 --> 00:00:52,534
It's electronic.
Oh, man.
29
00:00:52,607 --> 00:00:53,972
Dad!
What?
30
00:00:54,609 --> 00:00:57,008
That man.
Is he dead?
31
00:01:00,614 --> 00:01:03,810
Kids wanted to see the Statue of Liberty.
We're going home.
32
00:01:03,883 --> 00:01:06,977
Lennie,
this is Mrs. Mills.
33
00:01:07,053 --> 00:01:08,748
"Ms."
And Ms. Tanner.
34
00:01:08,822 --> 00:01:11,289
Ms. Mills says
she heard a gunshot.
35
00:01:11,357 --> 00:01:14,019
Sylvia said it was a backfire,
36
00:01:14,093 --> 00:01:15,856
but I grew up in West Virginia,
37
00:01:15,928 --> 00:01:18,589
and all the men
in my family had guns.
38
00:01:18,663 --> 00:01:20,062
She thinks she
heard it around 5:00.
39
00:01:20,131 --> 00:01:22,497
I didn't look at my wristwatch.
I opened the door
40
00:01:22,567 --> 00:01:25,898
and saw a man running down the hall.
He had on a green shirt.
41
00:01:25,968 --> 00:01:27,196
I only saw his back.
42
00:01:27,269 --> 00:01:29,829
Well, was he short,
fat, tall, thin?
43
00:01:30,573 --> 00:01:31,733
Uh...
44
00:01:31,807 --> 00:01:35,173
Not tall like you.
He was about average.
45
00:01:35,610 --> 00:01:37,669
Well, don't go anywhere, okay?
No! No, no. I won't.
46
00:01:37,779 --> 00:01:38,768
All right.
47
00:01:38,847 --> 00:01:39,835
She likes you.
48
00:01:40,381 --> 00:01:41,939
Yeah, maybe if I play
my cards right.
49
00:02:32,425 --> 00:02:34,552
Scapelli,
tell us something.
50
00:02:35,294 --> 00:02:38,387
Michael Malone, registered
from Tucson, Arizona.
51
00:02:38,830 --> 00:02:41,958
Wound to the chest from a small
caliber pistol. No brass.
52
00:02:42,033 --> 00:02:43,557
Airline ticket.
53
00:02:44,169 --> 00:02:46,864
Michael Malone.
Just flew in from Miami this morning.
54
00:02:46,937 --> 00:02:48,529
Long way around from Tucson.
55
00:02:48,605 --> 00:02:51,665
No wallet. Seventy-two
bucks in his side pocket.
56
00:02:51,742 --> 00:02:55,700
Let's see, three shirts,
one pair of pants.
57
00:02:56,646 --> 00:02:59,911
Two theater tickets for tomorrow night.
The King and I.
58
00:02:59,982 --> 00:03:04,042
Guy liked to party. Quart of
12-year-old scotch and an ice bucket.
59
00:03:04,386 --> 00:03:06,217
Hey, that door's supposed
to be locked, right?
60
00:03:07,522 --> 00:03:09,455
Maid says it's been
busted about a week.
61
00:03:18,197 --> 00:03:20,165
Yeah?
62
00:03:20,232 --> 00:03:23,598
Uh, Jimmy, yeah, Mike's here, but he
can't come to the phone right now.
63
00:03:25,203 --> 00:03:27,137
Okay, I'll tell him
you're on your way up.
64
00:03:28,673 --> 00:03:30,037
Mr. Malone has visitors.
65
00:03:30,941 --> 00:03:34,604
Over here, right here.
Oops. Wrong floor.
66
00:03:34,678 --> 00:03:36,270
This car's out of service.
67
00:03:37,313 --> 00:03:40,339
Which one of you
is Jimmy? You?
68
00:03:41,584 --> 00:03:42,676
My name is Pete.
69
00:03:42,751 --> 00:03:44,082
That makes you
Jimmy, then, right?
70
00:03:44,153 --> 00:03:45,483
We're minding our
own business here.
71
00:03:45,553 --> 00:03:47,111
And what business is that?
72
00:03:47,188 --> 00:03:48,246
Our business.
73
00:03:48,323 --> 00:03:49,654
Who'd you come up here to see?
74
00:03:49,724 --> 00:03:51,589
Army buddy, but we got
the wrong floor.
75
00:03:52,359 --> 00:03:53,485
What you got in the envelope?
76
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,050
Documents.
77
00:03:55,128 --> 00:03:56,356
Oh, and what
do you got in here?
78
00:03:57,197 --> 00:03:59,994
Aw! I hope you got
documents for that.
79
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,428
Let's go.
80
00:04:03,035 --> 00:04:08,802
Pogosian, James. Forgery.
Criminal possession. Issuing a bad check.
81
00:04:08,874 --> 00:04:10,204
I forgot I closed the account.
82
00:04:10,274 --> 00:04:15,074
Assault. Criminal possession.
Assault. Pogosian, Peter.
83
00:04:15,144 --> 00:04:20,207
Grand larceny auto. Grand larceny auto.
Grand larceny auto.
84
00:04:20,283 --> 00:04:21,909
You could at least
put some music on.
85
00:04:24,486 --> 00:04:27,114
You two like
other people's cars, huh?
86
00:04:28,023 --> 00:04:29,990
These registrations
are all legit.
87
00:04:30,191 --> 00:04:32,921
And you were taking them up
to Mike Malone, why?
88
00:04:32,994 --> 00:04:34,723
Who?
The guy on the 14th floor
89
00:04:34,795 --> 00:04:35,853
whose room you called, Jimmy.
90
00:04:35,930 --> 00:04:38,329
What if I did?
Mr. Malone is dead.
91
00:04:38,398 --> 00:04:39,695
No kidding?
92
00:04:40,066 --> 00:04:42,398
So you can see why we
want to talk to two mooks
93
00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:43,833
who were hanging around
with a gun.
94
00:04:43,903 --> 00:04:46,838
I get it. We killed him,
then we went to visit him.
95
00:04:46,906 --> 00:04:48,965
What'd you guys think,
we forgot our hat?
96
00:04:49,041 --> 00:04:50,735
Okay. If you
didn't kill him,
97
00:04:50,808 --> 00:04:52,173
tell us what you
were doing there.
98
00:04:52,243 --> 00:04:55,735
Just car business. He called us up
from Miami, said he wanted to meet.
99
00:04:55,813 --> 00:04:58,906
And who else knew he was
staying at that hotel?
100
00:04:58,982 --> 00:05:03,282
We knew. If you want to know who
he told, you'll have to ask him.
101
00:05:05,854 --> 00:05:07,583
This conversation's over.
102
00:05:07,656 --> 00:05:08,884
The gentlemen's attorney.
103
00:05:08,957 --> 00:05:12,393
I lost my gun permit, Gori.
This guy don't believe me.
104
00:05:12,561 --> 00:05:14,892
Pete, shut up.
105
00:05:15,663 --> 00:05:20,066
You had probable cause to search my clients?
It's a trick question.
106
00:05:20,133 --> 00:05:21,930
I saw the outline of a gun.
107
00:05:22,001 --> 00:05:24,026
With your x-ray vision,
no doubt.
108
00:05:24,203 --> 00:05:26,603
Thank you, Mr. Gorian.
Book them.
109
00:05:27,773 --> 00:05:31,174
Well, even if they walk, it's
one more gun off the street.
110
00:05:31,243 --> 00:05:34,542
The M.E. Just called.
The slug in Malone was from a.22.
111
00:05:34,613 --> 00:05:37,308
Your friends were carrying
a nine-millimeter.
112
00:05:37,381 --> 00:05:41,044
You know, Malone wasn't going to drive
these pictures back to Florida.
113
00:05:41,118 --> 00:05:43,608
Well, if he was car shopping,
he had cash on him.
114
00:05:43,687 --> 00:05:45,814
Those boys don't
take personal checks.
115
00:05:45,889 --> 00:05:48,915
Yeah, well, he had a fast
72 bucks in his pocket.
116
00:05:48,992 --> 00:05:50,982
Did you look in the hotel safe?
117
00:05:51,093 --> 00:05:53,061
No, he didn't give us
anything for safekeeping.
118
00:05:53,128 --> 00:05:56,586
You're not just saying that because he's
not around to tell us different, are you?
119
00:05:56,665 --> 00:05:58,757
Here's the ledger.
Look for yourself.
120
00:05:58,833 --> 00:06:00,663
Did Mr. Malone
have any visitors?
121
00:06:00,734 --> 00:06:01,792
I don't know.
122
00:06:01,868 --> 00:06:03,028
Any incoming phone calls?
123
00:06:03,103 --> 00:06:06,538
We don't keep records.
His outgoing calls are on his bill.
124
00:06:06,606 --> 00:06:09,507
Let's see, no outgoing calls.
125
00:06:10,376 --> 00:06:11,842
A real lonely guy,
126
00:06:11,910 --> 00:06:14,003
or else he just didn't want
anybody to know his business.
127
00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:15,205
This the credit card he used?
128
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:16,645
Yeah. You can keep it.
That's his copy.
129
00:06:17,015 --> 00:06:19,915
No room service charges.
I wonder where he got that bottle of scotch.
130
00:06:19,984 --> 00:06:22,509
There are two liquor stores
within a few blocks of here.
131
00:06:22,586 --> 00:06:25,054
Actually, three.
You want to take a walk
132
00:06:25,122 --> 00:06:27,021
and see if he had company
when he went shopping?
133
00:06:27,090 --> 00:06:28,284
Thanks.
134
00:06:29,192 --> 00:06:32,025
Yeah, he was here.
He was here by himself.
135
00:06:32,095 --> 00:06:34,392
Bought one of those
fancy bottles of scotch.
136
00:06:34,496 --> 00:06:37,192
Paid for it with one of
those brand new hundreds.
137
00:06:37,265 --> 00:06:38,357
He had a roll on him, too.
138
00:06:38,433 --> 00:06:40,128
You remember
what time that was?
139
00:06:40,202 --> 00:06:43,170
It was in the afternoon, but I
couldn't tell you exactly when.
140
00:06:45,206 --> 00:06:47,231
Your tape is time-stamped.
Yeah?
141
00:06:48,075 --> 00:06:50,042
Where do you keep the rest?
142
00:06:50,110 --> 00:06:52,601
It's in the back.
But I can't get it for you now.
143
00:06:52,679 --> 00:06:53,873
Come on, I got customers here.
144
00:06:53,947 --> 00:06:55,278
I'll help you look.
145
00:07:01,152 --> 00:07:02,642
Lot of good labels up there.
146
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,846
It'd be nice to share a taste.
147
00:07:05,155 --> 00:07:06,486
You asking me for a date?
148
00:07:06,556 --> 00:07:08,421
My mama told me
never to date a cop.
149
00:07:08,492 --> 00:07:09,959
They fool around on you.
150
00:07:10,693 --> 00:07:11,887
How about this guy?
151
00:07:11,961 --> 00:07:14,088
Anybody around here
date him yesterday?
152
00:07:14,163 --> 00:07:15,528
I didn't, but he's cute.
153
00:07:16,499 --> 00:07:18,523
You've been at this
too long, honey. He's dead.
154
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,831
Hey! You don't work my store.
Get out of here!
155
00:07:22,871 --> 00:07:26,567
Lennie, change for a hundred.
Yesterday, 4:33 p.m.
156
00:07:27,041 --> 00:07:28,736
Did any of the girls
hit on the guy?
157
00:07:28,809 --> 00:07:30,367
Well, not in my store.
158
00:07:30,444 --> 00:07:32,344
Did he talk to anybody?
159
00:07:32,412 --> 00:07:35,347
Well, maybe on the phone.
He asked me for quarters.
160
00:07:35,415 --> 00:07:36,746
He could have picked up a girl,
161
00:07:36,816 --> 00:07:38,283
invited her up for a party.
162
00:07:38,351 --> 00:07:40,045
If he did, we haven't
found her yet.
163
00:07:40,118 --> 00:07:41,710
Anyway, that credit
card Malone was using,
164
00:07:41,787 --> 00:07:42,811
it was an additional card
165
00:07:42,888 --> 00:07:45,413
on the account of Victoria
Lewis of North Miami Beach.
166
00:07:45,490 --> 00:07:46,889
Wife?
I just called her,
167
00:07:46,958 --> 00:07:48,584
left a message on her machine.
168
00:07:50,061 --> 00:07:53,120
LUDs from the payphone
across from the liquor store.
169
00:07:53,396 --> 00:07:57,229
4:37, long-distance call
to North Miami Beach.
170
00:07:57,299 --> 00:07:58,698
Victoria Lewis.
171
00:07:58,767 --> 00:07:59,859
Well, if you don't
need me around here,
172
00:07:59,935 --> 00:08:00,959
I'll go home and take a nap.
173
00:08:01,036 --> 00:08:03,265
His credit card's on her account.
She's not home.
174
00:08:03,337 --> 00:08:05,237
Well, she wasn't home
yesterday either.
175
00:08:05,306 --> 00:08:07,206
That first call lasted
less than a minute.
176
00:08:08,776 --> 00:08:11,141
Then Malone made another call
177
00:08:11,211 --> 00:08:13,111
to a construction company
in Miami.
178
00:08:14,181 --> 00:08:16,978
Yeah, hello.
Victoria Lewis, please.
179
00:08:18,317 --> 00:08:19,409
She's not?
180
00:08:19,819 --> 00:08:22,913
Well, this is her Uncle
Stanley from Chicago.
181
00:08:22,988 --> 00:08:24,978
Yeah, could you tell me
where I could find her?
182
00:08:25,190 --> 00:08:28,159
Oh, really?
Yeah, okay, thanks.
183
00:08:29,627 --> 00:08:32,618
She works there, but she took
today off for a long weekend.
184
00:08:32,696 --> 00:08:35,631
She's flying up north
to meet her boyfriend.
185
00:08:36,166 --> 00:08:39,259
Call the airlines.
Maybe you can meet her plane.
186
00:08:42,472 --> 00:08:45,532
Oh, wow, this is great.
Did Mike send you?
187
00:08:45,608 --> 00:08:47,471
He is such a doll!
Where is he?
188
00:08:47,541 --> 00:08:49,839
Miss Lewis?
I'm Detective Briscoe.
189
00:08:49,910 --> 00:08:51,309
This is Detective Curtis.
190
00:08:51,579 --> 00:08:52,568
What's going on here?
191
00:08:52,646 --> 00:08:54,636
We need to talk to you.
192
00:08:55,148 --> 00:08:56,672
May I see that?
193
00:08:56,816 --> 00:08:58,807
Arriving
passenger Joseph Ryan,
194
00:08:58,885 --> 00:09:01,079
please wait for your party
at the lower level...
195
00:09:01,153 --> 00:09:02,211
Where's Mike?
196
00:09:02,287 --> 00:09:04,619
We have some bad news, miss.
He's dead.
197
00:09:04,757 --> 00:09:05,781
What?
198
00:09:05,858 --> 00:09:07,655
He was murdered
yesterday afternoon.
199
00:09:09,827 --> 00:09:12,193
He warned me this might happen.
200
00:09:12,263 --> 00:09:13,355
What might happen?
201
00:09:15,066 --> 00:09:16,828
I don't believe you.
202
00:09:18,368 --> 00:09:19,460
Oh, God!
203
00:09:21,138 --> 00:09:24,334
So where's the FBI,
and why aren't they here?
204
00:09:24,673 --> 00:09:25,970
The FBI?
205
00:09:26,041 --> 00:09:28,601
Well, didn't you call them?
Don't you know?
206
00:09:28,677 --> 00:09:29,701
No. Tell us.
207
00:09:30,779 --> 00:09:32,940
I don't know if
I'm supposed to.
208
00:09:34,115 --> 00:09:36,049
I guess it doesn't matter now.
209
00:09:38,318 --> 00:09:40,582
Mike was working for them.
210
00:09:40,654 --> 00:09:42,177
He was an FBI agent?
211
00:09:42,255 --> 00:09:46,247
Undercover.
A special informant.
212
00:09:46,324 --> 00:09:48,189
He worked on
that big Mafia case.
213
00:09:49,060 --> 00:09:51,187
He should have been in the
Witness Protection, you know,
214
00:09:51,263 --> 00:09:52,593
where they change
your identity,
215
00:09:52,663 --> 00:09:55,427
but he valued his freedom
too much.
216
00:09:55,699 --> 00:09:57,166
People were looking for him.
217
00:09:57,234 --> 00:09:58,428
The Mafia?
218
00:09:59,903 --> 00:10:04,670
And Cubans. He used to work
for the CIA in Nicaragua.
219
00:10:05,675 --> 00:10:08,142
Oh, God, you guys
don't know anything!
220
00:10:09,878 --> 00:10:11,505
How long had you
known him, Miss Lewis?
221
00:10:13,882 --> 00:10:15,178
Almost six months.
222
00:10:15,783 --> 00:10:17,410
And you gave him
your credit cards?
223
00:10:18,653 --> 00:10:23,851
No. It wasn't like that.
He put his money in my account.
224
00:10:23,924 --> 00:10:24,948
We were engaged.
225
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:28,889
Did you ever meet any of
the people he worked with?
226
00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:34,499
Once, around Labor Day,
227
00:10:35,901 --> 00:10:38,800
Mike had me take some
money out of the bank.
228
00:10:39,036 --> 00:10:41,698
We gave it to a man
in a parking lot.
229
00:10:41,772 --> 00:10:45,172
Mike said it was a sting.
How much money?
230
00:10:45,842 --> 00:10:47,070
$10,000.
231
00:10:47,577 --> 00:10:50,875
Did you take any money out
for his trip to New York?
232
00:10:51,213 --> 00:10:52,840
Fifty thousand.
233
00:10:52,914 --> 00:10:54,677
Did Mike ever give you
his real name?
234
00:10:56,785 --> 00:10:58,047
What do you mean?
235
00:10:58,586 --> 00:11:00,884
Did he ever use any other
names that you knew of?
236
00:11:03,457 --> 00:11:08,484
Once in the trunk of his
car, I found some mail.
237
00:11:08,995 --> 00:11:12,192
It was addressed
to Michael Webber.
238
00:11:12,265 --> 00:11:14,630
And he said that
that was one of his covers.
239
00:11:16,268 --> 00:11:18,099
What kind of a scam
was he running?
240
00:11:18,170 --> 00:11:20,263
He put cash into her account?
241
00:11:20,438 --> 00:11:23,032
Softening her up for
the big withdrawal?
242
00:11:23,107 --> 00:11:25,667
Well, what does she earn at
that construction company?
243
00:11:25,743 --> 00:11:29,075
Hey, here we go. Michael Webber.
Outstanding warrant.
244
00:11:29,145 --> 00:11:33,137
He's a wanted man. Who wants him?
The FBI? The Mafia? Fidel?
245
00:11:33,215 --> 00:11:36,149
Worse. Ex-wife.
The warrant's from family court.
246
00:11:36,217 --> 00:11:39,744
Webber v. Webber. He owed Mrs.
Webber alimony and child support.
247
00:11:39,821 --> 00:11:42,618
Maybe she decided
it was time to collect.
248
00:11:45,292 --> 00:11:46,657
We're looking
for Arlene Webber.
249
00:11:46,727 --> 00:11:48,922
I'm her father.
She's not here.
250
00:11:48,996 --> 00:11:51,190
What do you want?
It's about her ex-husband.
251
00:11:51,264 --> 00:11:52,959
Oh, did you find that bastard?
252
00:11:53,032 --> 00:11:54,499
We've been trying
for five years.
253
00:11:54,567 --> 00:11:56,797
Yeah, we found him.
He's dead.
254
00:11:57,636 --> 00:11:58,796
Did he have any money on him?
255
00:11:58,870 --> 00:12:00,394
It belongs to my daughter.
256
00:12:00,472 --> 00:12:01,530
Seventy-two bucks.
257
00:12:01,606 --> 00:12:03,369
He owes her $200,000.
258
00:12:05,075 --> 00:12:07,475
What happened to him?
He got shot.
259
00:12:07,544 --> 00:12:10,104
Shot? Where was he?
In a hotel. Midtown.
260
00:12:10,247 --> 00:12:11,271
In New York?
261
00:12:11,348 --> 00:12:12,609
You didn't know
where he was?
262
00:12:12,682 --> 00:12:14,081
Nobody knew.
263
00:12:14,817 --> 00:12:17,081
Billy, his son, my grandson?
264
00:12:18,488 --> 00:12:20,682
He's got leukemia.
He's sick.
265
00:12:22,090 --> 00:12:25,287
Webber never even saw the kid once.
Can you believe it?
266
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,088
You mind telling us where you
were around 5:00 p.m. Yesterday?
267
00:12:28,161 --> 00:12:30,721
Where I always am
at 5:00 p.m. On Wednesdays.
268
00:12:30,797 --> 00:12:32,788
Dragging 30-pound sacks
of dirty laundry
269
00:12:32,866 --> 00:12:36,528
from restaurants in Washington Heights.
I drive a linen truck.
270
00:12:37,169 --> 00:12:40,104
Mr. Schaeffer, where can
we find your daughter?
271
00:12:40,172 --> 00:12:43,163
Mount Eden Hospital.
Pediatric ward.
272
00:12:44,142 --> 00:12:45,370
He's dead?
273
00:12:45,443 --> 00:12:47,741
You want to talk
about this outside?
274
00:12:48,246 --> 00:12:49,473
It doesn't matter.
275
00:12:49,546 --> 00:12:52,481
Shoot!
Are you talking about my dad?
276
00:12:54,184 --> 00:12:58,347
Yeah. We're sorry. Don't worry about it.
Billy never even met him.
277
00:12:58,421 --> 00:13:00,150
I think he's gonna
come back, though.
278
00:13:02,091 --> 00:13:04,991
Billy, I'll be back
in a few minutes, okay?
279
00:13:06,294 --> 00:13:08,728
We lived in Park Slope, duplex.
280
00:13:08,797 --> 00:13:10,458
Summer nights, we'd sit
out on the terrace,
281
00:13:10,532 --> 00:13:13,056
have a smoke,
look at Prospect Park.
282
00:13:13,367 --> 00:13:15,767
The he decided he wanted
to look at something else?
283
00:13:15,836 --> 00:13:18,497
No, that's the funny part.
He wanted his girlfriends
284
00:13:18,571 --> 00:13:20,766
and his weekends in
Las Vegas with whores,
285
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,603
and he wanted to
be married to me.
286
00:13:22,675 --> 00:13:25,040
Like one thing
didn't affect the other.
287
00:13:25,110 --> 00:13:27,270
I sued for divorce.
I was six months pregnant.
288
00:13:27,345 --> 00:13:29,370
You must have been
pretty upset.
289
00:13:29,447 --> 00:13:32,245
He was mad at me.
I was the one who broke us up.
290
00:13:32,316 --> 00:13:34,715
Thought he could have whatever
he wanted all the time.
291
00:13:34,784 --> 00:13:38,515
Well, I don't think a bullet in
the chest was on his wish list.
292
00:13:38,588 --> 00:13:39,612
It wasn't on mine either.
293
00:13:39,689 --> 00:13:41,588
All I wanted was
the money he owed us.
294
00:13:41,657 --> 00:13:44,023
You saw Billy.
I can't work anymore.
295
00:13:44,093 --> 00:13:47,221
My father should've retired two years ago.
His job's too hard for him.
296
00:13:47,528 --> 00:13:49,018
Your husband
didn't pay anything?
297
00:13:49,097 --> 00:13:51,497
The judge ordered
the settlement,
298
00:13:51,566 --> 00:13:53,591
Mike leaned over to me
and said, "Forget it."
299
00:13:53,668 --> 00:13:55,532
I got home about an hour later,
300
00:13:55,602 --> 00:13:58,400
found out that my rent
check had bounced.
301
00:13:58,872 --> 00:14:01,966
He had cleaned out the bank
account on his way out of town.
302
00:14:02,041 --> 00:14:03,838
Just for the record,
Mrs. Webber,
303
00:14:03,909 --> 00:14:06,173
where were you
yesterday at 5:00?
304
00:14:06,645 --> 00:14:08,340
I didn't kill Mike.
I was here.
305
00:14:08,681 --> 00:14:10,875
And you had no idea where he was?
No.
306
00:14:11,549 --> 00:14:13,949
My lawyer tried
everything to find him.
307
00:14:18,788 --> 00:14:21,188
Only 20% of the children
of divorced fathers
308
00:14:21,257 --> 00:14:23,157
who need financial
support get any.
309
00:14:23,226 --> 00:14:24,954
This one has leukemia.
310
00:14:25,027 --> 00:14:26,221
Yeah, Michael Webber.
311
00:14:27,062 --> 00:14:29,360
Special prince from day one.
312
00:14:29,431 --> 00:14:31,331
His first year or two
on the road,
313
00:14:31,399 --> 00:14:35,460
he used to send his ex-wife
postcards from Martinique.
314
00:14:35,536 --> 00:14:37,470
"Having a wonderful
time with Tiffany.
315
00:14:37,538 --> 00:14:39,300
"Oops, did I forget to
pay your heating bill?"
316
00:14:39,372 --> 00:14:41,897
Tiffany?
Who knows?
317
00:14:41,975 --> 00:14:43,840
He just liked
to torture Arlene.
318
00:14:44,944 --> 00:14:46,137
How did he make his living?
319
00:14:46,211 --> 00:14:47,735
He brokered used cars.
320
00:14:47,813 --> 00:14:49,906
Shipped them to Europe,
South America.
321
00:14:49,982 --> 00:14:52,246
His income was
major six figures.
322
00:14:52,518 --> 00:14:54,678
Cars are pretty big.
You couldn't find him?
323
00:14:54,752 --> 00:14:56,583
He didn't have to
be with the cars.
324
00:14:56,654 --> 00:15:00,181
He ran his operation out of a
briefcase and a telephone.
325
00:15:00,824 --> 00:15:02,815
He lived in Arizona
for a while.
326
00:15:02,893 --> 00:15:04,724
We contacted the local police.
327
00:15:05,395 --> 00:15:07,989
They were too busy to serve
an out-of-state warrant.
328
00:15:08,065 --> 00:15:12,057
By the time we got a lawyer down
there, Webber was in California.
329
00:15:12,201 --> 00:15:15,101
We did manage to slap an
injunction on some of his cars
330
00:15:15,170 --> 00:15:17,228
being shipped out of San Pedro.
331
00:15:17,304 --> 00:15:18,703
We just have to
prove they're his,
332
00:15:18,772 --> 00:15:20,137
and Arlene will get
some of her money.
333
00:15:20,207 --> 00:15:21,265
So, things are looking up?
334
00:15:21,341 --> 00:15:25,777
Yeah. Except her son needs a bone
marrow transplant or he'll die.
335
00:15:25,845 --> 00:15:28,040
Arlene and her father
don't match.
336
00:15:28,114 --> 00:15:31,207
Webber was a potential
donor, if we'd found him.
337
00:15:31,283 --> 00:15:34,548
What about after California?
We heard he was in Miami.
338
00:15:34,619 --> 00:15:36,746
A collection agent
we work with sometimes
339
00:15:36,822 --> 00:15:39,153
went down there
a couple of months ago.
340
00:15:39,223 --> 00:15:40,850
He came up empty.
341
00:15:41,492 --> 00:15:43,289
So which murder case
would you drop
342
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,657
to go serve warrants
on deadbeat dads?
343
00:15:45,728 --> 00:15:46,956
Somebody's gotta find the time.
344
00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:48,019
I mean, look at this guy.
345
00:15:48,098 --> 00:15:50,293
He's on a world tour with
the bimbo of the month.
346
00:15:50,366 --> 00:15:51,492
Let me tell you one thing.
347
00:15:51,568 --> 00:15:53,159
There's two sides
to every divorce.
348
00:15:53,235 --> 00:15:55,066
Well, this one has three sides.
349
00:15:55,137 --> 00:15:58,004
I mean, how many child support
payments did you ever miss, Lennie?
350
00:15:58,073 --> 00:16:00,063
My ex just kept my checkbook.
351
00:16:00,141 --> 00:16:02,871
If I forgot, she knew how
to forge my signature.
352
00:16:04,278 --> 00:16:05,836
You know, that collection agent
353
00:16:05,913 --> 00:16:08,437
was in Miami
a couple of months ago.
354
00:16:08,647 --> 00:16:10,547
Right around Labor Day.
355
00:16:10,616 --> 00:16:13,813
I usually get my expenses up front,
but for the Women's Center
356
00:16:13,886 --> 00:16:16,911
I pay my own freight.
It's a charity.
357
00:16:16,988 --> 00:16:18,080
That's very nice.
358
00:16:18,389 --> 00:16:21,687
Are you sure you didn't get a
peek at Webber down in Miami?
359
00:16:21,925 --> 00:16:22,983
Only thing I got in Miami
360
00:16:23,060 --> 00:16:25,358
was a case of sun poisoning.
361
00:16:27,698 --> 00:16:29,028
Hello.
362
00:16:29,899 --> 00:16:30,957
That's him.
363
00:16:32,301 --> 00:16:33,768
Do I know you?
364
00:16:33,836 --> 00:16:35,736
The parking lot of
the Pancake House.
365
00:16:36,305 --> 00:16:38,704
Labor Day. $10,000.
366
00:16:40,442 --> 00:16:42,069
I'm afraid you got me
confused with somebody else.
367
00:16:42,144 --> 00:16:43,735
I was with Mike.
368
00:16:45,746 --> 00:16:47,213
I don't know what
she's talking about.
369
00:16:48,015 --> 00:16:50,142
That's okay, Kirby.
We do.
370
00:16:51,251 --> 00:16:53,617
Now, how about we start
all over again, huh?
371
00:16:54,254 --> 00:16:56,722
Vicki, why don't you go
get yourself an ice cream cone?
372
00:16:56,789 --> 00:16:58,188
No. I want to know
who this guy is.
373
00:16:58,258 --> 00:17:00,589
Please.
Have one on me.
374
00:17:03,395 --> 00:17:06,362
Okay. I found him.
375
00:17:07,597 --> 00:17:09,895
Practically laughed in my face.
376
00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:11,590
He said I wasn't
gonna get a cent,
377
00:17:11,668 --> 00:17:13,134
his ex wasn't gonna get a cent.
378
00:17:13,202 --> 00:17:14,760
All his money's buried
in proxy names.
379
00:17:14,837 --> 00:17:16,202
He didn't even own
his own clothes.
380
00:17:16,272 --> 00:17:18,604
I said, " Fine.
I'll call the cops
381
00:17:18,674 --> 00:17:20,800
"and you can sit in jail
while we look for your money."
382
00:17:20,875 --> 00:17:22,433
But he had
a better idea.
383
00:17:22,510 --> 00:17:24,842
Yeah. He gave me
10 grand to go away.
384
00:17:25,113 --> 00:17:28,946
But you wanted more and he said no...
I never saw him again.
385
00:17:29,049 --> 00:17:32,109
Where were you Wednesday afternoon?
Nashville.
386
00:17:32,486 --> 00:17:34,351
Looking for the daddy of twins.
387
00:17:34,421 --> 00:17:36,183
How'd you find Webber?
388
00:17:36,389 --> 00:17:38,186
I got his pager number.
389
00:17:38,257 --> 00:17:41,852
I left him a message I had some used Range Rovers.
He called me drooling.
390
00:17:41,928 --> 00:17:43,792
How'd you get his number?
391
00:17:43,862 --> 00:17:44,886
From Arlene Webber's lawyer.
392
00:17:44,963 --> 00:17:46,055
Where'd she get it?
393
00:17:46,131 --> 00:17:48,964
I don't know.
Father-in-law, Arlene's dad.
394
00:17:54,238 --> 00:17:58,196
Max isn't here. He's a driver.
I don't pay him to drive around the plant.
395
00:17:58,274 --> 00:17:59,501
You always know where he is?
396
00:17:59,575 --> 00:18:01,736
He's on a tight schedule.
He has to hustle.
397
00:18:01,810 --> 00:18:04,642
So, for example,
Wednesday afternoon?
398
00:18:04,712 --> 00:18:06,339
Wednesday, Schaeffer.
399
00:18:07,014 --> 00:18:10,279
Broadway and Dyckman Street.
165th Street and up.
400
00:18:10,351 --> 00:18:12,215
Now how do you know
he made those stops?
401
00:18:12,285 --> 00:18:16,881
If he didn't, I'd have had 20 angry calls
from customers looking for clean napkins.
402
00:18:16,957 --> 00:18:19,084
You got another one of those?
Sure.
403
00:18:19,159 --> 00:18:21,683
You know, if you guys are
looking to hassle Max,
404
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:22,954
you're making a mistake.
405
00:18:23,028 --> 00:18:25,394
Because he's tough?
'Cause he's a good guy.
406
00:18:25,464 --> 00:18:27,624
Now, where can we
find him right now?
407
00:18:27,699 --> 00:18:29,530
Friday afternoon.
Chelsea.
408
00:18:31,035 --> 00:18:34,902
I ran into a guy who did business
with Webber before the divorce.
409
00:18:34,972 --> 00:18:37,532
He had a pager number.
He gave it to me.
410
00:18:37,608 --> 00:18:39,769
You said you didn't know
where Webber was.
411
00:18:39,843 --> 00:18:41,742
I didn't.
It was an 800 number,
412
00:18:41,811 --> 00:18:43,676
one of those satellite things.
413
00:18:43,779 --> 00:18:45,246
He could've been on the moon.
414
00:18:45,314 --> 00:18:48,078
I thought maybe the collection
guy could figure it out.
415
00:18:48,150 --> 00:18:49,810
You ever use it yourself,
to call Webber?
416
00:18:49,884 --> 00:18:51,146
Yeah, once.
417
00:18:51,219 --> 00:18:54,585
I left a message that his son
needed a bone-marrow transplant,
418
00:18:54,655 --> 00:18:56,178
and asked him
if he'd be tested.
419
00:18:58,591 --> 00:19:02,220
He never called back.
Look, I got a route to cover.
420
00:19:04,229 --> 00:19:06,322
He wears a green shirt.
He lied to us.
421
00:19:06,398 --> 00:19:08,332
He didn't tell you he
didn't have a phone number.
422
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,697
He hated the guy.
423
00:19:09,768 --> 00:19:11,997
A lot of people wear
green shirts, Lennie.
424
00:19:12,069 --> 00:19:14,867
You want to get his picture in front
of your witness from the hotel?
425
00:19:14,939 --> 00:19:16,600
A, she didn't
see his face.
426
00:19:16,674 --> 00:19:18,664
B, she's sailing
through the Panama Canal
427
00:19:18,742 --> 00:19:20,903
on a bridge cruise
with Omar Sharif.
428
00:19:20,977 --> 00:19:22,501
She sent him a postcard.
429
00:19:22,579 --> 00:19:25,309
Max Schaeffer will still be
here when she gets back.
430
00:19:25,382 --> 00:19:27,212
If he did kill Webber,
he's walking around
431
00:19:27,283 --> 00:19:29,581
with 50 grand traveling
money in his pocket.
432
00:19:29,652 --> 00:19:31,552
You think he's going to
run out on his grandson
433
00:19:31,620 --> 00:19:32,984
the same way the father did?
434
00:19:33,054 --> 00:19:35,249
You know, when we saw the kid,
he was playing a video game.
435
00:19:35,323 --> 00:19:37,450
Yeah?
A new Playstation.
436
00:19:37,792 --> 00:19:39,987
CD drive?
Yeah, with, like, six games.
437
00:19:40,061 --> 00:19:42,051
Ooh.
Crash Bandicoot?
438
00:19:42,129 --> 00:19:43,994
Excuse me, young parents.
439
00:19:44,064 --> 00:19:47,397
My kids' idea of high technology
was Barbie's convertible.
440
00:19:47,467 --> 00:19:50,434
No, Lennie, we're talking about $500,
$600 dollars' worth of video game here.
441
00:19:50,502 --> 00:19:53,266
Yeah. Who bought it
for him? And when?
442
00:19:54,706 --> 00:19:57,868
See, you use your thumb to jump.
Cool.
443
00:19:57,941 --> 00:20:01,104
You have to be running or he
won't make it to the other side.
444
00:20:01,178 --> 00:20:03,441
My daughter really
wants one of these.
445
00:20:03,513 --> 00:20:04,775
Where did you get yours?
446
00:20:04,847 --> 00:20:06,212
Grandpa brought it.
447
00:20:06,282 --> 00:20:07,874
When was that, Billy?
That's okay, Doc.
448
00:20:07,950 --> 00:20:09,917
Couple days ago.
In the morning.
449
00:20:09,985 --> 00:20:11,384
Thursday?
450
00:20:11,453 --> 00:20:12,511
Yeah, maybe.
451
00:20:13,288 --> 00:20:14,653
Chickee, the mom.
452
00:20:14,723 --> 00:20:18,158
You have to be ready when
they throw fireballs at you.
453
00:20:18,893 --> 00:20:20,121
What's going on here?
454
00:20:20,194 --> 00:20:21,752
They're asking about my game.
455
00:20:21,829 --> 00:20:23,626
Get away from my son.
456
00:20:24,798 --> 00:20:26,959
Look, we would have asked you
if you'd have been there.
457
00:20:27,033 --> 00:20:28,398
Ask me now.
458
00:20:28,835 --> 00:20:31,667
Did your father give that game
to Billy Thursday morning?
459
00:20:31,737 --> 00:20:32,761
What if he did?
460
00:20:32,838 --> 00:20:36,274
Whoever killed your ex-husband
stole $50,000 from him.
461
00:20:36,809 --> 00:20:38,333
You bastards.
462
00:20:38,976 --> 00:20:42,036
Has your father been saving
up for that game or what?
463
00:20:42,113 --> 00:20:45,445
I got it from the Angel's
Dream Foundation.
464
00:20:45,515 --> 00:20:48,449
We told Billy his
grandfather gave it to him.
465
00:20:49,518 --> 00:20:50,678
I didn't want to tell him
466
00:20:50,753 --> 00:20:53,347
his grandpa is
a poor working stiff
467
00:20:53,489 --> 00:20:56,321
who couldn't get
his dying grandchild
468
00:20:56,391 --> 00:20:59,189
the one toy he wanted the most.
469
00:21:01,695 --> 00:21:03,128
Hey, it was your idea.
470
00:21:03,197 --> 00:21:06,394
Yeah. You know, I can't
imagine what that's like.
471
00:21:07,201 --> 00:21:09,634
Yeah. Sickness,
poverty and then us.
472
00:21:09,702 --> 00:21:12,398
Watching your kid in the
hospital, waiting for a donor.
473
00:21:12,472 --> 00:21:14,406
If I'd found Webber,
I might have shot him
474
00:21:14,474 --> 00:21:16,338
and scraped the bone
marrow out myself.
475
00:21:16,408 --> 00:21:19,434
I don't think that's how
the operation's performed.
476
00:21:19,511 --> 00:21:21,775
Listen, how many times
have we heard about
477
00:21:21,847 --> 00:21:24,371
how tight Max Schaeffer's
schedule is?
478
00:21:25,383 --> 00:21:28,147
I mean, when did he have
time Thursday morning
479
00:21:28,219 --> 00:21:29,413
to visit little Billy?
480
00:21:29,487 --> 00:21:31,454
Something like that,
you make time.
481
00:21:31,521 --> 00:21:34,581
Yeah. First stop Thursday,
O'Connor's Tavern.
482
00:21:35,525 --> 00:21:38,789
That's right down the street
from where Webber was shot.
483
00:21:38,861 --> 00:21:42,352
So, if he wasn't there Thursday
morning, when was he there?
484
00:21:42,430 --> 00:21:46,593
Thursday, 9:00 a.m.
Every week for 11 years.
485
00:21:46,666 --> 00:21:48,156
This week he showed up
on Wednesday.
486
00:21:48,235 --> 00:21:51,068
And Max never came in
a day early before?
487
00:21:51,138 --> 00:21:52,695
I'm gonna have to
reset my calendar.
488
00:21:53,906 --> 00:21:55,703
Did he tell you
why he came in early?
489
00:21:57,042 --> 00:21:58,066
I asked him.
490
00:21:58,144 --> 00:22:01,374
He said he wanted to clear some
time for Thursday morning.
491
00:22:01,479 --> 00:22:03,640
He had something special to do.
What time was he here?
492
00:22:04,349 --> 00:22:07,613
About 5:00. The guys with
jobs were just coming in.
493
00:22:07,951 --> 00:22:09,043
You guys want a drink?
494
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:10,416
No, thanks.
495
00:22:11,221 --> 00:22:12,711
Webber had to walk
right by here
496
00:22:12,790 --> 00:22:14,257
on his way past
the liquor store.
497
00:22:14,324 --> 00:22:16,086
Yeah, at about 5:00.
498
00:22:19,695 --> 00:22:22,390
This is not right.
You have no right to do this.
499
00:22:22,464 --> 00:22:24,227
Does your father have a gun, Mrs.
Webber?
500
00:22:24,299 --> 00:22:25,926
No. Is that what
you're looking for?
501
00:22:26,001 --> 00:22:27,491
For starters.
I'm gonna check the bedroom.
502
00:22:27,569 --> 00:22:29,900
You never put this much effort
into finding my husband
503
00:22:29,970 --> 00:22:31,096
while he was alive.
504
00:22:31,172 --> 00:22:32,764
Doyle?
Nothing.
505
00:22:33,073 --> 00:22:35,268
You check the freezer?
And the garbage can.
506
00:22:36,142 --> 00:22:38,006
What about this toaster?
You unplug it?
507
00:22:38,777 --> 00:22:40,335
No.
It's broken,
508
00:22:40,412 --> 00:22:41,879
like everything else
around here.
509
00:22:43,048 --> 00:22:45,515
Well, maybe this is what
was gumming up the works.
510
00:22:46,384 --> 00:22:47,976
About a dozen $100 bills.
511
00:22:50,021 --> 00:22:51,920
I won it on a horse at OTB.
512
00:22:51,988 --> 00:22:54,479
You always hide your winnings
in a kitchen appliance?
513
00:22:54,558 --> 00:22:55,820
In my neighborhood, yeah.
514
00:22:55,892 --> 00:22:57,484
Which horse, Max?
515
00:22:57,794 --> 00:22:58,919
Number seven.
516
00:22:58,994 --> 00:23:00,518
Yeah? What track?
What race?
517
00:23:00,596 --> 00:23:02,393
Belmont.
Wrong, Max.
518
00:23:02,932 --> 00:23:04,092
They're running
at Aqueduct.
519
00:23:04,166 --> 00:23:05,292
So it was Aqueduct.
520
00:23:05,367 --> 00:23:06,663
Hey,
you think we're stupid?
521
00:23:06,734 --> 00:23:09,294
Michael Webber was carrying a roll
of hundreds when he was killed.
522
00:23:09,370 --> 00:23:11,804
Hey, there are a lot of
$100 bills in the world.
523
00:23:11,873 --> 00:23:13,533
Yeah. In toasters.
524
00:23:16,109 --> 00:23:17,599
Max.
Hi, Sam.
525
00:23:17,845 --> 00:23:20,040
This is Sam Pokras,
an attorney.
526
00:23:20,113 --> 00:23:22,239
Mostly real estate.
I'm Max's cousin.
527
00:23:23,049 --> 00:23:27,486
Oh, what a tragedy. First Mike is
murdered, now Max is in trouble?
528
00:23:27,687 --> 00:23:29,881
Well, we want to
ask him a few questions.
529
00:23:29,955 --> 00:23:32,548
Sam, they think I killed him.
530
00:23:33,891 --> 00:23:35,290
They do?
531
00:23:39,062 --> 00:23:41,724
You didn't, did you, Max?
No, of course not.
532
00:23:41,798 --> 00:23:43,628
Then just tell them the truth.
533
00:23:43,699 --> 00:23:46,224
I never saw anybody
get hurt by the truth.
534
00:23:46,668 --> 00:23:48,761
He said he was an attorney.
535
00:23:49,171 --> 00:23:52,196
The suspect has a right to a
lawyer, not to a good lawyer.
536
00:23:52,273 --> 00:23:54,537
Couldn't this whole
interview be thrown out?
537
00:23:54,909 --> 00:23:56,103
I'll take care of it.
538
00:23:56,177 --> 00:23:57,337
You heard
what the man said, Max.
539
00:23:57,411 --> 00:23:59,605
You want to tell us the truth
about the money?
540
00:23:59,679 --> 00:24:03,240
Mr. Schaeffer, I'm Assistant
District Attorney Jamie Ross.
541
00:24:03,316 --> 00:24:05,249
Did you understand the rights
that were read to you earlier?
542
00:24:05,317 --> 00:24:06,614
He's got nothing to hide.
543
00:24:06,685 --> 00:24:08,676
So you understand
your rights, Mr. Schaeffer?
544
00:24:08,754 --> 00:24:11,518
Yes.
Okay? Everybody happy?
545
00:24:12,257 --> 00:24:13,315
We didn't tell you this before,
546
00:24:13,391 --> 00:24:15,552
but we have two witnesses
from the hotel.
547
00:24:15,627 --> 00:24:17,151
We'd like them to
take a look at you.
548
00:24:17,228 --> 00:24:19,253
Go ahead.
He wasn't there.
549
00:24:19,330 --> 00:24:20,694
Sam.
What?
550
00:24:20,964 --> 00:24:21,953
I was there.
551
00:24:22,032 --> 00:24:24,023
But you just said...
I met him on the street.
552
00:24:25,335 --> 00:24:27,460
I went up to his room
and we talked.
553
00:24:27,903 --> 00:24:30,269
And he gave you $1,200
for old times' sake?
554
00:24:30,839 --> 00:24:32,864
No, he told me to get...
555
00:24:32,941 --> 00:24:36,933
Max, I think maybe now
you should shut up.
556
00:24:43,700 --> 00:24:45,395
"Docket 74302.
557
00:24:45,468 --> 00:24:49,460
"People v. Max Schaeffer.
Charge is murder in the second degree."
558
00:24:52,541 --> 00:24:54,168
Is counsel ready?
559
00:24:57,345 --> 00:24:59,313
Hello?
Your Honor, yes.
560
00:25:01,082 --> 00:25:03,743
Sam Pokras for the defense,
561
00:25:05,385 --> 00:25:07,478
who happens to be my cousin,
562
00:25:07,554 --> 00:25:09,283
so I can vouch
for him personally.
563
00:25:09,623 --> 00:25:12,386
How does he plead?
Definitely not guilty.
564
00:25:12,458 --> 00:25:15,086
Can I hear it from
Cousin Max, please?
565
00:25:15,961 --> 00:25:16,950
Not guilty.
566
00:25:17,029 --> 00:25:18,359
Your Honor,
the People request bail
567
00:25:18,429 --> 00:25:19,828
in the amount of $1,000,000.
568
00:25:19,897 --> 00:25:20,921
What?
569
00:25:22,065 --> 00:25:24,829
He's a decent man.
He doesn't even own a passport.
570
00:25:25,168 --> 00:25:26,634
He didn't need one
to commit murder
571
00:25:26,702 --> 00:25:28,101
within the New York
City limits.
572
00:25:28,170 --> 00:25:31,537
He has a job.
His grandson is sick.
573
00:25:33,241 --> 00:25:36,210
Can the People live with
half a million, Miss Ross?
574
00:25:36,278 --> 00:25:38,576
Fine, Your Honor.
Done.
575
00:25:42,283 --> 00:25:44,410
Miss Ross, Miss Ross.
576
00:25:44,485 --> 00:25:45,975
I was talking to Judd Fields.
577
00:25:46,053 --> 00:25:47,611
He plays golf
with Barry Tuller,
578
00:25:47,687 --> 00:25:50,178
a partner of your
ex-husband, so I was told.
579
00:25:50,256 --> 00:25:51,245
And?
580
00:25:51,324 --> 00:25:54,851
He told me your boss, Jack McCoy,
is in the plea-bargain business.
581
00:25:54,927 --> 00:25:57,019
It's not a business,
Mr. Pokras.
582
00:25:58,196 --> 00:26:00,323
Have you considered
employing co-counsel?
583
00:26:00,799 --> 00:26:02,425
Is counsel ready?
584
00:26:03,334 --> 00:26:05,268
Caroline,
where did he find you?
585
00:26:05,336 --> 00:26:07,804
Yellow Pages.
Women's legal services.
586
00:26:08,873 --> 00:26:10,339
I haven't met
the defendant yet,
587
00:26:10,407 --> 00:26:12,967
but I always assumed
Max Schaeffer was a man.
588
00:26:13,043 --> 00:26:14,840
The victim of
the central crime here
589
00:26:14,911 --> 00:26:16,901
is Arlene Webber, his daughter.
590
00:26:16,979 --> 00:26:19,003
The central crime
isn't the murder?
591
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,308
Matter of opinion.
592
00:26:20,381 --> 00:26:23,839
When the dead man is deadbeat
scum like Michael Webber.
593
00:26:23,951 --> 00:26:27,147
That's what your client thought of him.
It's called his motive.
594
00:26:28,121 --> 00:26:29,679
You're being very helpful.
595
00:26:29,956 --> 00:26:32,753
That's funny.
Is that your whole case?
596
00:26:33,426 --> 00:26:35,257
He had the $100 bills.
597
00:26:35,328 --> 00:26:38,627
Twelve of them.
The police say 500 were stolen.
598
00:26:38,698 --> 00:26:40,289
He lied to the police.
599
00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:44,124
He admitted being in the
dead man's hotel room
600
00:26:44,202 --> 00:26:45,567
at the time of the murder.
601
00:26:45,637 --> 00:26:47,729
Before the murder.
602
00:26:48,138 --> 00:26:50,231
He says Webber was alive
when he left,
603
00:26:50,307 --> 00:26:51,831
and you can't prove he wasn't.
604
00:26:53,610 --> 00:26:54,871
We'll be in touch.
605
00:26:58,548 --> 00:26:59,640
Good friends?
606
00:26:59,716 --> 00:27:03,082
Last year, I did pro bono
work at the Women's Center.
607
00:27:03,685 --> 00:27:05,414
Solidarity forever.
608
00:27:08,357 --> 00:27:11,814
How do we prove Webber was
dead when Schaeffer left him?
609
00:27:11,891 --> 00:27:13,119
He's not a hardened killer.
610
00:27:13,193 --> 00:27:14,592
He would have been
nervous, upset.
611
00:27:14,661 --> 00:27:16,719
He might've said
something to somebody.
612
00:27:18,197 --> 00:27:20,392
After he left the hotel room,
613
00:27:20,466 --> 00:27:23,400
did he make any more stops
on his linen route?
614
00:27:26,838 --> 00:27:29,398
You think I noticed what kind
of mood the laundry man was in?
615
00:27:29,474 --> 00:27:31,134
Did you talk to him?
616
00:27:31,208 --> 00:27:33,369
I don't have time to chat
with the laundry man,
617
00:27:33,443 --> 00:27:36,139
especially when he comes in a
half-hour before dinner rush.
618
00:27:36,213 --> 00:27:38,237
Which wasn't his usual time.
619
00:27:38,314 --> 00:27:40,282
Did you notice anything
else unusual about him?
620
00:27:40,349 --> 00:27:41,748
I don't know.
I don't care.
621
00:27:41,817 --> 00:27:44,342
We leave the dirty linen in
an alcove by the side door.
622
00:27:44,420 --> 00:27:47,149
He comes in. He picks it up.
He goes away.
623
00:27:47,222 --> 00:27:49,850
Yeah, but he was a day early.
624
00:27:49,924 --> 00:27:51,653
So, was the laundry
in the alcove?
625
00:27:52,227 --> 00:27:54,922
No. It was in the storeroom.
Down here.
626
00:27:57,331 --> 00:27:59,959
It's a nice, quiet place.
You let him come in here alone?
627
00:28:00,032 --> 00:28:02,626
Why? Was he gonna steal
a can of chickpeas?
628
00:28:02,702 --> 00:28:03,930
No, we're more concerned about
629
00:28:04,003 --> 00:28:05,937
what he might've left here.
630
00:28:06,005 --> 00:28:10,463
So Schaeffer is nervous, he wants to stash the gun.
He's coming back in a week.
631
00:28:10,541 --> 00:28:13,601
Ah, garlic, Rey.
The secret of fine cuisine.
632
00:28:13,944 --> 00:28:16,468
Really? I thought
it was corn flour.
633
00:28:18,915 --> 00:28:22,213
This is kind of like the Easter
egg hunt at the Curtis household.
634
00:28:22,985 --> 00:28:25,886
Ooh!
Check out this loose vent.
635
00:28:32,693 --> 00:28:35,856
I think I win
the chocolate bunny!
636
00:28:37,397 --> 00:28:38,557
.22.
637
00:28:41,768 --> 00:28:44,361
What's the matter?
The Yale Club isn't open yet?
638
00:28:45,104 --> 00:28:46,571
Good morning.
639
00:28:47,706 --> 00:28:49,697
I hear I'm gonna be getting
a ballistics report.
640
00:28:50,543 --> 00:28:54,444
And you ran over here 'cause you
couldn't wait to get the bad news?
641
00:28:54,512 --> 00:28:56,810
Actually, I walked.
642
00:28:56,881 --> 00:28:58,280
Without your co-counsel?
643
00:29:00,317 --> 00:29:03,683
I sent Mr. Pokras to the
library to do some research.
644
00:29:03,853 --> 00:29:05,878
He'll be back when
the trial's over.
645
00:29:05,955 --> 00:29:07,785
If you really want
to go to trial.
646
00:29:07,856 --> 00:29:09,016
We found the murder weapon,
647
00:29:09,090 --> 00:29:11,217
and it has your
client's fingerprints.
648
00:29:11,827 --> 00:29:14,624
Well, I hate to ruin your
weekend, Jamie. Caroline,
649
00:29:15,196 --> 00:29:16,686
I don't think you can.
650
00:29:19,166 --> 00:29:21,463
Max Schaeffer will be
pleading self-defense.
651
00:29:21,534 --> 00:29:22,865
Self-defense?
652
00:29:23,436 --> 00:29:25,301
I thought he
didn't kill Webber?
653
00:29:25,371 --> 00:29:27,737
I misspoke.
He killed him in a struggle.
654
00:29:27,807 --> 00:29:30,400
After an argument, Webber
pulled a gun on him.
655
00:29:30,476 --> 00:29:31,500
Webber pulled a gun?
656
00:29:31,577 --> 00:29:35,035
The one you found.
When you get the registration trace,
657
00:29:35,247 --> 00:29:37,646
you'll see that it belonged
to Michael Webber.
658
00:29:37,715 --> 00:29:40,013
Here, fell out of your mailbox.
659
00:29:42,820 --> 00:29:44,047
It's Webber's gun.
660
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,815
He bought it eight years
ago in Connecticut.
661
00:29:45,889 --> 00:29:47,481
That's convenient.
662
00:29:47,557 --> 00:29:50,719
He was carrying $50,000 cash.
He was armed.
663
00:29:50,793 --> 00:29:51,851
Yeah. What about
that money?
664
00:29:51,927 --> 00:29:54,293
What does Caroline Bennett
have to say about that?
665
00:29:54,930 --> 00:29:58,261
Schaeffer took $1,200 home for rent
and groceries and hid the rest.
666
00:29:58,332 --> 00:29:59,560
Caroline will bring it in
667
00:29:59,633 --> 00:30:01,726
along with a family court
order giving it to Arlene.
668
00:30:01,802 --> 00:30:06,295
I love these happy endings.
What's the rest of the story?
669
00:30:07,073 --> 00:30:08,404
Schaeffer saw Webber
on the street.
670
00:30:08,474 --> 00:30:10,567
He followed him
back to his room.
671
00:30:10,643 --> 00:30:12,167
You believe it?
672
00:30:13,144 --> 00:30:15,772
I can talk to somebody
who knew them both.
673
00:30:15,847 --> 00:30:18,839
My dad isn't gonna have
to go to jail, is he?
674
00:30:18,984 --> 00:30:21,144
That depends upon
how credible his story is.
675
00:30:23,087 --> 00:30:26,181
His story? My father
doesn't tell stories.
676
00:30:27,891 --> 00:30:29,290
Up to now,
he's been telling people
677
00:30:29,359 --> 00:30:30,690
he didn't murder
your ex-husband.
678
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,318
That's because he was scared.
679
00:30:32,395 --> 00:30:34,521
He didn't know what
would happen to him.
680
00:30:34,596 --> 00:30:36,257
Mrs. Webber, does your
father have a temper?
681
00:30:36,331 --> 00:30:38,663
He argues about football
teams with his friends.
682
00:30:38,734 --> 00:30:40,998
He doesn't go around
shooting people.
683
00:30:41,069 --> 00:30:43,127
What about your former husband?
What about him?
684
00:30:44,005 --> 00:30:45,768
Your father said
he pulled a gun on him.
685
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,171
So he did.
686
00:30:47,241 --> 00:30:48,299
Was he the kind of person
687
00:30:48,376 --> 00:30:50,866
that would do something like
that without being provoked?
688
00:30:51,811 --> 00:30:54,404
My father is lucky to be alive.
689
00:30:55,548 --> 00:30:59,005
You want to know what kind
of person my ex-husband was?
690
00:31:05,155 --> 00:31:07,783
Here's where he used me
as an ashtray.
691
00:31:09,226 --> 00:31:12,683
A little going-away present
at the end of our marriage.
692
00:31:13,963 --> 00:31:15,191
Schaeffer saw Webber,
693
00:31:15,264 --> 00:31:17,596
the man who abused his
daughter and ruined her life,
694
00:31:17,667 --> 00:31:19,861
who wouldn't even
visit his own dying son.
695
00:31:19,935 --> 00:31:23,098
So far, Jack, I'd say the
jury will be with her.
696
00:31:23,438 --> 00:31:25,133
They argued,
Webber pulled his gun,
697
00:31:25,206 --> 00:31:27,036
Schaeffer grabbed it, bang.
698
00:31:27,107 --> 00:31:31,476
And all this because Schaeffer
happened to see Webber on the street?
699
00:31:31,779 --> 00:31:35,407
Jack, Webber was a possible
bone-marrow match for his son.
700
00:31:35,481 --> 00:31:38,279
You think the grandfather
would go looking to kill him?
701
00:31:39,319 --> 00:31:40,615
I think Caroline
will take man two.
702
00:31:40,886 --> 00:31:44,947
You think? Or did you two work it out
at a meeting in the ladies' room?
703
00:31:46,124 --> 00:31:48,352
Okay, so I feel sorry
for a woman
704
00:31:48,425 --> 00:31:49,892
who was brutalized
by her husband
705
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,689
and abandoned
with a sick child.
706
00:31:51,761 --> 00:31:53,160
Call me a sentimental fool.
707
00:31:53,229 --> 00:31:55,788
But that doesn't mean that Max
Schaeffer's story doesn't make sense.
708
00:31:55,864 --> 00:31:57,764
I'd just like to hear Webber's.
709
00:32:05,173 --> 00:32:07,141
Are you Mr. McCoy?
Yeah.
710
00:32:07,208 --> 00:32:09,301
I'm Victoria Lewis.
I called your office.
711
00:32:09,377 --> 00:32:12,004
I heard the man that killed my
Mike is going on trial here.
712
00:32:12,079 --> 00:32:13,137
Is this the place?
713
00:32:13,213 --> 00:32:15,272
Actually, Miss Lewis,
it's only a hearing.
714
00:32:15,349 --> 00:32:17,816
Yes, but I flew all the
way up from Miami,
715
00:32:17,883 --> 00:32:20,977
and I want to make sure that this
creep gets what's coming to him.
716
00:32:21,053 --> 00:32:22,315
There isn't
going to be a trial.
717
00:32:24,390 --> 00:32:27,825
Oh, good. I read that some of
these people were getting off.
718
00:32:27,892 --> 00:32:29,223
We made an arrangement
with him.
719
00:32:29,294 --> 00:32:31,057
Manslaughter in
the second degree.
720
00:32:31,796 --> 00:32:33,729
We don't believe
it was premeditated murder.
721
00:32:33,797 --> 00:32:34,889
Oh.
722
00:32:34,965 --> 00:32:37,263
Well, I know what
you think about Mike,
723
00:32:37,334 --> 00:32:40,063
and I feel real sorry for
his ex-wife and the kid,
724
00:32:40,136 --> 00:32:42,229
but he must have had a
good reason to leave her.
725
00:32:42,705 --> 00:32:44,433
He told me he had a sick boy.
726
00:32:44,506 --> 00:32:46,633
He was getting a test
to help out.
727
00:32:46,707 --> 00:32:48,072
No, he didn't deserve this.
728
00:32:48,142 --> 00:32:49,439
Excuse me.
729
00:32:50,578 --> 00:32:51,977
Is that her?
730
00:32:53,381 --> 00:32:55,678
Your father didn't
have to kill my Mike.
731
00:32:57,117 --> 00:32:58,675
I don't have anything
to say to you.
732
00:32:58,752 --> 00:33:01,549
Yeah, well, Mike did.
He loved me.
733
00:33:01,987 --> 00:33:03,511
I'm the one he loved.
734
00:33:05,124 --> 00:33:07,115
At least I knew his name.
735
00:33:10,328 --> 00:33:13,764
I might have been a little excited.
I begged with him.
736
00:33:14,232 --> 00:33:16,995
I told him about
the hospital bills,
737
00:33:17,067 --> 00:33:18,830
and that Arlene
couldn't work anymore.
738
00:33:20,037 --> 00:33:23,200
Billy wanted a dinosaur
book and some stickers,
739
00:33:23,273 --> 00:33:25,706
but we couldn't
give him anything.
740
00:33:25,808 --> 00:33:28,208
And here was his father,
who never called once,
741
00:33:28,277 --> 00:33:30,370
who owed us all that money.
742
00:33:30,613 --> 00:33:33,911
Reached in his pocket and gave me
two $100 bills and said, " Here,
743
00:33:34,282 --> 00:33:35,943
"here's a down payment."
744
00:33:36,017 --> 00:33:37,882
Then he went to his
suitcase and opened it up
745
00:33:37,952 --> 00:33:41,010
and I saw all that money.
I thought he was gonna give me some more.
746
00:33:41,087 --> 00:33:42,486
Instead he came up with a gun.
747
00:33:42,955 --> 00:33:44,547
I was looking
right down the barrel.
748
00:33:44,624 --> 00:33:47,183
He said,
"Get the hell out of here!"
749
00:33:48,226 --> 00:33:50,592
I didn't care
whether I died or not.
750
00:33:50,662 --> 00:33:53,653
I grabbed his hand
and pushed it to the side
751
00:33:53,731 --> 00:33:56,165
and he pushed back
and the gun went off.
752
00:33:58,235 --> 00:34:00,032
Are the People satisfied?
753
00:34:06,609 --> 00:34:09,099
No. Your Honor, we had
a plea agreement!
754
00:34:09,178 --> 00:34:10,509
It's withdrawn.
755
00:34:17,885 --> 00:34:19,352
What the hell was that?
756
00:34:19,420 --> 00:34:22,445
You don't have a deal
until I say you have a deal.
757
00:34:22,522 --> 00:34:24,251
So our negotiation,
our agreement,
758
00:34:24,324 --> 00:34:25,552
our date with the judge
was all for nothing?
759
00:34:25,625 --> 00:34:27,422
You just felt like
wasting everyone's time?
760
00:34:27,494 --> 00:34:28,859
I changed my mind.
761
00:34:28,929 --> 00:34:30,452
You want to give me a hint why?
762
00:34:30,529 --> 00:34:33,259
Or you didn't like
Max's cologne today?
763
00:34:35,533 --> 00:34:36,795
Jamie?
764
00:34:37,935 --> 00:34:39,266
Caroline, I'll call you.
765
00:34:40,003 --> 00:34:41,163
Oh!
766
00:34:41,472 --> 00:34:44,998
The great man doesn't deign
to confide in his associate.
767
00:34:45,074 --> 00:34:46,803
Maybe next year
you'll get promoted
768
00:34:46,876 --> 00:34:48,901
to carrying his briefcase.
769
00:34:50,780 --> 00:34:54,408
You trying to destroy both our
reputations, or just yours?
770
00:34:54,649 --> 00:34:56,549
I'd rather be insulted
by Caroline Bennett
771
00:34:56,618 --> 00:34:58,711
than mistakenly
free a murderer.
772
00:34:58,787 --> 00:35:00,378
What are you talking about?
773
00:35:00,454 --> 00:35:04,015
Do you think Webber would check
a bag with $50,000 in it?
774
00:35:05,793 --> 00:35:08,124
Three shirts,
one pair of pants.
775
00:35:10,396 --> 00:35:12,887
This is everything
from Webber's hotel room?
776
00:35:12,966 --> 00:35:15,365
We didn't bring in
the furniture.
777
00:35:16,201 --> 00:35:17,225
Just this suitcase?
778
00:35:17,302 --> 00:35:18,564
Check.
779
00:35:21,139 --> 00:35:23,869
Anything in the trashcan?
Trash.
780
00:35:24,542 --> 00:35:26,305
No baggage-claim check?
781
00:35:26,377 --> 00:35:27,605
Why would there be?
782
00:35:27,678 --> 00:35:29,507
He flew here from Miami.
783
00:35:31,046 --> 00:35:32,638
Looks like carry-on to me.
784
00:35:35,050 --> 00:35:36,448
Yes, it does.
785
00:35:40,688 --> 00:35:43,281
You don't think he
checked a bag? So?
786
00:35:44,958 --> 00:35:48,018
So he didn't bring the
gun with him from Miami.
787
00:35:48,162 --> 00:35:51,358
So he didn't have it
with him in the hotel.
788
00:35:51,430 --> 00:35:53,921
So your client wasn't
threatened with it.
789
00:35:54,300 --> 00:35:56,495
Want to try another story,
Mr. Schaeffer?
790
00:35:56,569 --> 00:35:57,729
It's true.
791
00:35:58,503 --> 00:35:59,629
Don't insult us.
792
00:35:59,704 --> 00:36:02,002
Maybe Webber left the gun in New York
793
00:36:02,073 --> 00:36:03,472
and picked it up
when he got here.
794
00:36:03,542 --> 00:36:05,532
Where did he
leave it, Caroline?
795
00:36:05,609 --> 00:36:07,201
Under a rock in Central Park?
796
00:36:07,278 --> 00:36:10,372
They let you back on the team, Jamie?
How sweet.
797
00:36:12,383 --> 00:36:15,783
Try this one.
Max did have the gun.
798
00:36:16,352 --> 00:36:19,185
He carried it for protection
on his laundry route.
799
00:36:19,255 --> 00:36:21,347
He ran into Webber,
they argued,
800
00:36:21,423 --> 00:36:23,755
and in a moment of
highly-justified passion...
801
00:36:23,826 --> 00:36:25,554
You can't decide
which lie to tell?
802
00:36:26,093 --> 00:36:28,060
When we get in front
of the jury,
803
00:36:28,128 --> 00:36:30,494
you'll have your theory
and I'll have mine.
804
00:36:30,564 --> 00:36:33,158
Mine will make sense.
Logic?
805
00:36:33,233 --> 00:36:35,564
Which one do you think
they'll want to believe?
806
00:36:36,302 --> 00:36:39,794
The one that points to the old
man with the abused daughter,
807
00:36:39,872 --> 00:36:42,499
or the one that points
to the man who abused her?
808
00:36:46,911 --> 00:36:48,811
I tell you to make a
deal, make a deal!
809
00:36:52,049 --> 00:36:55,212
Caroline Bennett's
gonna make a jury
810
00:36:55,285 --> 00:36:57,149
want to dig Webber up
and kill him again.
811
00:36:57,220 --> 00:36:59,279
We can prove our case
or make a run at it.
812
00:36:59,355 --> 00:37:00,879
Yeah? And how?
813
00:37:01,157 --> 00:37:03,955
Max Schaeffer must have gotten
the gun from his daughter.
814
00:37:04,025 --> 00:37:06,585
Webber must have left it
with her when they divorced.
815
00:37:06,661 --> 00:37:07,719
She's gotta know something.
816
00:37:07,796 --> 00:37:09,821
I'm sure she'll be
delighted to cooperate.
817
00:37:09,898 --> 00:37:11,660
She could be subpoenaed.
818
00:37:11,732 --> 00:37:14,166
We can even charge her if she knew how
her father was gonna use the gun.
819
00:37:14,235 --> 00:37:16,328
Papers are gonna love that.
820
00:37:17,438 --> 00:37:19,701
Trumping up a charge
against a woman
821
00:37:19,772 --> 00:37:21,432
with a dying son.
Wonderful.
822
00:37:21,506 --> 00:37:24,270
Who says it's trumped up if
she gave her father the gun?
823
00:37:24,343 --> 00:37:26,742
Could be that
Caroline Bennett is right.
824
00:37:26,844 --> 00:37:30,575
She gave her father the gun for
protection on his laundry stops.
825
00:37:31,015 --> 00:37:33,949
Come on, Adam.
What's so scary about a laundry route?
826
00:37:34,017 --> 00:37:38,044
It's a coincidence that he was carrying
a gun when he ran into Webber?
827
00:37:38,121 --> 00:37:39,679
It was always a coincidence
828
00:37:39,756 --> 00:37:41,985
he ran into Webber.
Whenever.
829
00:37:44,593 --> 00:37:47,585
He said he changed his route, which put
him near the hotel that afternoon,
830
00:37:47,663 --> 00:37:48,788
so he could visit his grandson
831
00:37:48,863 --> 00:37:50,228
in the hospital
the next morning.
832
00:37:50,298 --> 00:37:52,664
Why that afternoon?
Why that morning?
833
00:37:52,734 --> 00:37:54,031
How about this one?
834
00:37:54,602 --> 00:37:57,764
Who knew that Webber was
gonna be at that hotel?
835
00:38:01,642 --> 00:38:05,907
We already danced this dance with the cops.
Malone, Webber, whatever his name was,
836
00:38:05,978 --> 00:38:07,377
he called us and we
made the date with him.
837
00:38:07,446 --> 00:38:09,004
He just called you
out of the blue?
838
00:38:09,081 --> 00:38:10,604
Well, we're prominent
in our field.
839
00:38:10,682 --> 00:38:13,207
And you never mentioned your
date with him to Max Schaeffer?
840
00:38:13,285 --> 00:38:14,445
We never heard
of Max Schaeffer.
841
00:38:14,519 --> 00:38:15,815
Are you sure?
Yeah.
842
00:38:17,354 --> 00:38:18,877
All right.
You can think it over
843
00:38:18,955 --> 00:38:20,855
while these officers
check the VIN numbers
844
00:38:20,924 --> 00:38:23,825
on every axle and engine
block on this lot.
845
00:38:24,294 --> 00:38:26,523
Anything shows up stolen
on the computer,
846
00:38:26,595 --> 00:38:28,790
this place belongs to
the city of New York.
847
00:38:28,864 --> 00:38:31,298
You care so much?
Deeply.
848
00:38:32,300 --> 00:38:35,667
Okay. We didn't set up
the meet ourselves.
849
00:38:35,736 --> 00:38:37,499
There was a middleman in for 10%.
850
00:38:37,939 --> 00:38:39,201
He called us about Webber.
851
00:38:39,273 --> 00:38:40,864
Why didn't you tell the police?
852
00:38:40,941 --> 00:38:42,340
Our customer gets taken off,
853
00:38:42,409 --> 00:38:44,775
maybe by somebody
who set us up.
854
00:38:45,412 --> 00:38:47,311
We handle that kind
of business ourselves.
855
00:38:47,379 --> 00:38:48,607
Where's your middleman now?
856
00:38:48,681 --> 00:38:50,148
At the bottom of
the Hudson River?
857
00:38:50,215 --> 00:38:54,083
We did have a nice long talk with
him, but he's walking around.
858
00:38:54,153 --> 00:38:55,949
His name is Kirby.
He's a collection agent.
859
00:38:56,754 --> 00:38:58,585
I'm going to stuff your head
into that little hole over there
860
00:38:58,656 --> 00:38:59,816
until you start
telling us the truth!
861
00:38:59,891 --> 00:39:01,824
Hey, you can't do that!
He's a witness.
862
00:39:01,892 --> 00:39:04,690
What do you think,
Mr. District Attorney?
863
00:39:05,862 --> 00:39:10,161
Webber was lured to New York and
killed for the money he was carrying?
864
00:39:11,866 --> 00:39:14,767
I think we're looking
at a death-penalty case.
865
00:39:14,836 --> 00:39:16,427
Death penalty?
866
00:39:16,503 --> 00:39:18,869
You want to see the statute?
It's got your picture in it.
867
00:39:18,939 --> 00:39:21,169
I didn't do anything!
You set it up.
868
00:39:22,609 --> 00:39:24,701
You're as guilty as the one
who pulled the trigger.
869
00:39:26,980 --> 00:39:28,971
That son of a bitch Schaeffer.
870
00:39:29,749 --> 00:39:31,545
I didn't even get
a nickel out of it.
871
00:39:33,585 --> 00:39:35,485
I told him I knew
Jimmy and Pete.
872
00:39:35,554 --> 00:39:36,782
From the PTA?
873
00:39:37,189 --> 00:39:39,656
I did some collection work for them.
874
00:39:39,724 --> 00:39:43,023
I figured they could get Webber up here.
The old man told me
875
00:39:43,094 --> 00:39:45,789
I could make a little more than my
usual third of what's recovered
876
00:39:45,862 --> 00:39:47,454
once he was locked up.
877
00:39:47,530 --> 00:39:48,690
You mean once he was dead?
878
00:39:48,765 --> 00:39:51,199
I didn't know he
was going to kill him.
879
00:39:51,267 --> 00:39:53,063
I thought he was
gonna call the cops,
880
00:39:53,135 --> 00:39:56,229
I swear. That's
what he told me.
881
00:39:58,574 --> 00:40:01,041
Are you ready to talk
deal again, McCoy,
882
00:40:01,109 --> 00:40:04,078
or did you bring us here for another
one of your practical jokes?
883
00:40:04,145 --> 00:40:05,373
Neither.
884
00:40:06,313 --> 00:40:09,679
I just had a nice chat with
Joe Kirby, Mr. Schaeffer.
885
00:40:09,815 --> 00:40:10,975
The
collection agent?
886
00:40:11,050 --> 00:40:13,143
Right. The one who did
some work for your client.
887
00:40:13,219 --> 00:40:16,847
It turns out he's also an associate
of Jimmy and Pete Pogosian.
888
00:40:16,921 --> 00:40:20,220
The people Michael Webber
came up from Florida to meet.
889
00:40:20,291 --> 00:40:21,588
Good morning, Caroline.
890
00:40:24,128 --> 00:40:25,755
Your client
used Mr. Kirby
891
00:40:25,829 --> 00:40:28,024
to set up Webber's trip
to New York.
892
00:40:29,066 --> 00:40:30,430
I don't know what
you're talking about.
893
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:34,463
We made a deal with him this time, Mr.
Schaeffer.
894
00:40:35,505 --> 00:40:37,699
He told you when and
where the meeting was,
895
00:40:37,773 --> 00:40:39,502
and you showed up with the gun,
896
00:40:39,574 --> 00:40:41,201
killed Webber, stole the money...
No.
897
00:40:42,711 --> 00:40:46,646
You're in this, too.
You gave your father the gun.
898
00:40:47,214 --> 00:40:49,239
Who's going to believe that?
899
00:40:49,316 --> 00:40:51,784
Webber was a possible
organ donor for her son.
900
00:40:54,521 --> 00:40:56,614
Maybe you just hated
your ex-husband
901
00:40:56,689 --> 00:40:58,213
more than you loved your child.
902
00:40:58,291 --> 00:41:00,087
You don't know what you're saying.
It's not possible.
903
00:41:01,026 --> 00:41:02,117
We'll see what a jury thinks.
904
00:41:02,193 --> 00:41:03,217
You leave her
out of it.
905
00:41:03,294 --> 00:41:04,886
Max.
No.
906
00:41:05,530 --> 00:41:06,689
I shot him.
907
00:41:07,230 --> 00:41:09,391
She had nothing to do with it.
I planned it myself.
908
00:41:09,466 --> 00:41:10,933
Dad, don't!
909
00:41:11,001 --> 00:41:13,834
I don't care.
I'm glad he's dead.
910
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,697
I think we're ready to talk
plea bargain now, Caroline.
911
00:41:21,342 --> 00:41:22,707
Murder two.
912
00:41:24,512 --> 00:41:27,174
Anything he wants.
Long as he leaves Arlene out of it.
913
00:41:29,249 --> 00:41:33,515
Twenty-five years to life?
He's 67 years old.
914
00:41:33,587 --> 00:41:35,986
Man one.
We leave sentencing to the judge.
915
00:41:46,064 --> 00:41:47,827
Talk, Mr. Schaeffer.
916
00:41:52,903 --> 00:41:55,804
We knew he was the match
for the transplant.
917
00:41:55,940 --> 00:41:58,463
Arlene had his
old medical records.
918
00:41:58,540 --> 00:42:00,371
So I got the son of a bitch up here.
919
00:42:00,642 --> 00:42:03,008
Why now?
Your daughter's divorce lawyer
920
00:42:03,078 --> 00:42:04,545
just found some of his assets.
921
00:42:04,613 --> 00:42:07,410
That stuff takes years.
Billy was sick now!
922
00:42:07,482 --> 00:42:10,508
I knew if I got him up here to
buy cars, he'd be carrying cash.
923
00:42:11,119 --> 00:42:13,450
You could have called the
police once he was in New York.
924
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,514
Yeah, sure.
Like they give a damn.
925
00:42:19,092 --> 00:42:20,956
Yeah, I'd do it again.
926
00:42:27,765 --> 00:42:29,528
Your plea bargain
gonna stick this time?
927
00:42:29,601 --> 00:42:31,159
As far as I'm concerned.
928
00:42:31,236 --> 00:42:34,171
It's still one case where I would have
loved to put the victim on trial.
929
00:42:35,739 --> 00:42:40,506
He destroyed three lives.
He put out cigarettes on his wife's chest.
930
00:42:43,112 --> 00:42:46,479
He did tell his girlfriend he was
gonna be tested for the transplant.
931
00:42:46,549 --> 00:42:48,642
He also told her
he worked for the CIA.
932
00:42:48,718 --> 00:42:52,550
He'd still be alive if his wife
didn't have some old medical records.
933
00:42:53,020 --> 00:42:55,011
Until he failed the test.
934
00:42:56,690 --> 00:42:59,681
Jack, what kind of records
could she have had?
935
00:43:00,093 --> 00:43:01,560
Going down.
936
00:43:02,295 --> 00:43:03,626
Check with the hospital.
937
00:43:05,230 --> 00:43:07,858
You people don't have
any other cases?
938
00:43:20,710 --> 00:43:24,271
My dad's probably gonna die in jail.
I hope you're happy.
939
00:43:24,748 --> 00:43:27,147
I spoke to your son's doctor, Mrs.
Webber.
940
00:43:27,216 --> 00:43:28,979
I know.
You know what?
941
00:43:29,051 --> 00:43:32,316
Why you and your father conspired
to kill your ex-husband.
942
00:43:32,388 --> 00:43:35,117
Because he is a miserable
cheapskate worm
943
00:43:35,190 --> 00:43:37,021
who wouldn't help
his dying child.
944
00:43:37,458 --> 00:43:39,426
How's that for a reason?
945
00:43:40,395 --> 00:43:42,123
I have to get some sleep now.
946
00:43:42,196 --> 00:43:43,527
Did he call you?
947
00:43:44,464 --> 00:43:46,398
Did he tell you
he was gonna get tested?
948
00:43:47,633 --> 00:43:51,762
I can get his phone records from Florida.
His medical records, too.
949
00:43:52,671 --> 00:43:55,572
Do you want to know
what the doctor told me?
950
00:43:57,308 --> 00:43:59,071
You can't tell from old records
951
00:43:59,143 --> 00:44:01,008
if a man is an organ donor,
952
00:44:01,712 --> 00:44:04,111
but you'd see blood types,
953
00:44:04,180 --> 00:44:06,341
and blood types can
rule out paternity.
954
00:44:08,851 --> 00:44:11,944
He didn't know he wasn't
Billy's father, did he?
955
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:14,350
If he'd been tested,
he would've found out.
956
00:44:15,390 --> 00:44:18,381
And your entire claim
for child support, gone.
957
00:44:25,131 --> 00:44:30,330
You know, the last year of my marriage,
it wasn't much of a marriage.
958
00:44:32,172 --> 00:44:33,763
I have no doubt.
959
00:44:36,475 --> 00:44:38,033
Do you have children?
960
00:44:38,110 --> 00:44:39,407
She's three.
961
00:44:41,980 --> 00:44:44,470
My son gets so tired
he can't play.
962
00:44:46,583 --> 00:44:49,949
My son starts vomiting and he can't stop.
He's dying.
963
00:44:54,656 --> 00:44:59,855
And I can maybe keep him
alive a little longer
964
00:45:00,695 --> 00:45:03,390
or maybe just make him
a little happier
965
00:45:07,034 --> 00:45:08,797
if I had some money.
966
00:45:13,706 --> 00:45:15,333
I have to go now.
967
00:45:25,216 --> 00:45:28,515
I know.
We already got the father.
968
00:45:28,586 --> 00:45:30,110
But she's guilty, too.
969
00:45:30,855 --> 00:45:33,914
We put her in jail,
her son dies alone.
970
00:45:33,990 --> 00:45:35,355
Everybody's got a sad story.
971
00:45:35,425 --> 00:45:37,688
It won't be
an easy case to make.
972
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,954
Webber's dead.
Her father won't talk.
973
00:45:40,662 --> 00:45:42,960
We can look for other evidence.
974
00:45:43,331 --> 00:45:44,730
You feel burned?
975
00:45:44,799 --> 00:45:46,129
You feel sorry for her?
976
00:45:48,001 --> 00:45:49,730
Call me a sentimental fool.
977
00:45:56,976 --> 00:45:59,911
There's no statute of
limitations on murder.
978
00:46:01,846 --> 00:46:03,143
We'll keep it.
979
00:46:05,116 --> 00:46:06,845
Right on top of the pile.
