Good morning.

Good morning.

We have a 9:30 meeting with Mr. Mark Goldberg, please.

Yes, you do.

He's looking forward to seeing you.

Right this way.

Thank you so much.

I'll be meeting with the C.E.O. from

Rockman Pharmaceuticals tonight.

My feeling is we can settle this whole thing for half a million,

be done with it.

I don't know about that, Walter.

I mean, the other side has a pretty solid case, you know?

Rockman's general counsel authorized the sale for

$1.5 million.

Get it over with.

Just trust me.

I-I know this firm and their boss.

They're a bunch of bottom-feeders.

So you offer them half a million.

They'll be skipping out of here like it's Christmas Day.

Yes?

Mr. Goldberg, your 9:30 is here.

Uh, someone will be with them shortly.

Yes, sir.

No. Whoa, whoa. Dara, sit.

Sit.

See, uh, first, we just let 'em stew for a while, and then when

they're good and agitated, we stick a fork in 'em and make

sure they're done.

Watch and learn.

What is the holdup?

Someone should have been out here by now, right?

It's just a game.

See, they want us to think that they have a lot of other things

that are more important than meeting with us, right?

So they're gonna have us out here, checking out the decor,

the accouterment, looking out the window at all of the

beautiful view and all that.

You know what that is?

Bullshit.

It's impressive.

You know, why don't we get a downtown high rise and it would

be a nice upgrade, you know?

That's why... because I'm not gonna pay rent downtown.

I'm not gonna take money out of my wallet and put it in someone

else's wallet.

T... Oh. Good morning.

Hello.

I'm Dara Grant.

My pleasure, Ms. Grant.

My name is Bradley Hudson, and this is my daughter,

Desiree Hudson, esquire.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Will you please follow me?

Of course.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

Okay.

Remember what I told you.

Yeah. Why don't you?

Mm.

Bradley Hudson?

What are you doing here?

Your 9:30 appointment.

Good to see you, Walter.

Uh, I was told that, uh, the Mann family was being

represented by, uh...

Philip Dorf from Dorf Associates.

Unless there's some mistake?

No mistake.

We talked to Phil last night.

We're gonna cancel here unless there's an offer on the table.

We've been authorized to offer half a million.

Take it or leave it.

I haven't familiarized myself with this case yet, but, uh, I

would think that there's some class-action possibility here.

I mean, we don't know how many defendants might emerge from the

woodpile when I, uh...

do my press conference.

Wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Press conference, huh?

That won't be necessary.

Of course it's not necessary because we're old friends,

aren't we, Walter?

I would think that $5 million U.S. would make

everybody happy.

$5 million?

Is that a joke?

No, it's not a joke.

It's not a joke, is it, Walter?

You hear anything funny?

No. No. That sounds like a reasonable offer.

I will have the paperwork done and, uh, a check sent over to

your office this afternoon.

Always a pleasure doing business with you, Walter.

Mm-hmm. You, too, Bradley.

I like that tie.

Yeah. What, you want the shirt off my back, too?

Oh, that's good. I like that.

What was that?

You told us to not offer more than half a million!

Yeah, well, that was before I knew that Bradley Hudson was

representing the other side, you... imbecile.

Thought you had a job.

Yes, sir, I do.

Okay. Well, seven stab wounds of varying depth and most likely

done with this.

I want the prints off that knife ASAP.

So, we do have an approximate time of death?

Yeah. I would say between 10:00 and 2:00 last night, and

he was probably asleep before it occurred.

And if I were to take a guess, I would say it was a crime of

passion.

Is Kyle abusive?

Oh, hell no.

He wasn't like that.

If that were the case, I would have killed him myself.

What's the problem then?

Savannah has a, uh, serious

addiction, and we've been kind of, uh, hiding it for a while.

Drugs? Alcohol?

Shopping.

Come on.

Shopping?

If that was the case, then my daughter would

have a big-time addiction.

Not like this, she don't.

You see...

she has CBD.

What the fuck is CBD?

CBD.

Compulsive buying disorder.

It's literally an addiction to shopping.

It's ruined families financially for years.

Yeah. See?

There's a smart guy.

Yes, he is, Mr. Jones.

Alright, so, she has this, uh...

CBD.

CBD.

Why haven't I heard of it?

Why has she not filed bankruptcy?

Because she had me and Kyle to bail her out and to cover it

up.

See, when they got married, Kyle had to shell out $2 million for

credit-card debt.

$2 million.

Well, after that, he wasn't gonna let her anywhere near his

finances, so she fired me for telling him.

Hence that dirtbag Billy King managing her career now.

Alright.

So, it's all, uh, starting to make some sense here.

♪♪>> Thank you.

♪♪

You alright?

Yeah.

Mrs. Kirby, you've been charged with second-degree

murder.

How do you plead?

Not guilty, Your Honor.

Due to the seriousness of the charge, the people request

remand, Your Honor.

Your Honor, my client is a public figure with ties to the

community.

Your Honor, Mrs. Kirby brutally stabbed her husband

to death.

She's a woman of great means and has many contacts in many

countries that do not have extradition treaties with ours.

The people see her as a serious flight risk.

My client is not a flight risk and plans to vehemently

fight these accusations against her.

She's one of the most recognizable people on the

planet, Your Honor.

Frankly, she has nowhere to hide.

And her financial state is highly exaggerated.

Your Honor, her prints were found on the murder weapon.

Along with two other unknown sets of fingerprints,

Your Honor.

Now, if the people's case was as strong as they portray, then

they'd be charging my client with first-degree murder

and not second.

Ms. Graham, Mr. Hudson makes a great point.

There aren't many places where someone as popular as Mrs. Kirby

could hide.

Your Honor, I... I would like to hear the bail

recommendation.

The people request bail be set at $10 million.

$10 million?

Your Honor, that's outrageous.

I will be setting bail at $2 million, with home

restriction and ankle monitoring.

And, Mrs. Kirby, you will be surrendering your passport.

How the hell does she get bail?

Not everything is about the law, Desiree.

Sometimes it's about numbers, statistics, and a whole lot of

common sense.

It's probably those tight-ass suits he be wearing.

Let's hope so. Let's go.

custody.

Justice will prevail for Mr. Kirby.

Thank you.

As the lead investigator in this case, could you share with

us your findings as to who murdered Kyle Kirby?

That would be his wife... Savannah Kirby.

That's a very straight-to-the-point answer.

Could you tell us how you came to that conclusion?

Her nightgown was covered in her husband's blood, her

fingerprints were found on the murder weapon, and the fact that

on the night of the murder, her first inclination was not to

call the police, but to run to her lawyer.

And you top that all off with the fact that Mrs. Kirby sent

her husband a text message that night threatening to kill him

when she returned home.

Seems like a no-brainer to me.

Objection, Your Honor.

My client texted her husband that she would deal with him,

not kill him.

Sustained.

Watch it, Lieutenant.

We've already heard testimony from the medical examiner

that Mr. Kirby had been stabbed seven times in the back.

As a veteran police detective, what does that say to you?

That this was a crime of passion, which is most likely

done by a lover or a spouse.

And why would you say that?

Well, because of the viciousness of the crime.

Right?

Stabbing someone seven times... That's overkill.

And that's usually done out of pure rage.

And nothing was taken from the home, so not a robbery.

Um, therefore, you got a clear-cut crime of passion.

Objection.

Overruled.

Thank you, Lieutenant.

No more questions, Your Honor.

Mr. Hudson?

I, uh...

I just have a few questions for you, Detective.

Now, you say that, uh, my client killed her husband.

Were there any witnesses, any videotape?

Nope, not that I'm aware of.

Your Honor, I would like to, uh, enter in people's exhibit

number 14 to the record, please.

This is a photograph from the crime scene showing a picture of

the murder weapon.

You say, Detective, that you found other fingerprints on this

knife besides, uh, that of Mrs. Kirby's.

That's right.

There were two sets.

One was the victim, Kyle Kirby, and the other one was his, um...

His mother, Cathy Kirby.

May I present to the jury, please?

Yes.

14.

And, Detective, did you look into anyone else regarding the

killing of Mr. Kirby?

Yes.

Um, there was one that I know of.

And who would that person be?

Would you instruct, please, the witness to answer my question?

Lieutenant, please answer the question.

That would be the victim's mother... Cathy Kirby.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Now, Mrs. Kirby, you were with your son the night that he

passed, weren't you?

Yes, yes.

I'd go over once a week and cook all of his favorites for the

week.

His wife's idea of a home-cooked meal is to call Uber Eats.

Order.

Now, Mrs. Kirby, your fingerprints were found on the

knife that was used to stab Kyle.

Why is that?

My fingerprints are all over that house.

Hell, I'm the only one that cleans up over there.

Mm, dishes piled all up.

Nasty.

Just plain nasty.

Now, once you were done laboring over his meals for the

week, how long did you stick around?

And even the people that didn't love him liked him a lot.

What about any stalkers or his other fans?

No.

I mean, even his stalkers were tame by industry standards.

why would you drop her off at the house?

Weren't you concerned?

No. It's Savannah.

Her bark is worse than her bite.

She talks a lot of shit.

But I had no idea she'd actually do it.

Thank you, Mr. King.

Mr. Hudson, your witness.

You... you're good, Mr. King.

I mean, you are real good.

Let me ask you a question.

About how many times did I ask you if you and my client

were having an affair?

♪♪Spit it out.

Like 9... 9, 10 times.

9 or 10 times.

So that means you lied to me 10 times.

Would you please answer the question?

Did you lie to me...

Yes, Lamont!

10 times about sleeping with my client?

I lied to you 9 or 10 times...

Gentlemen, please!

To protect Savannah!

I did my job. That's my client.

Did you do yours?!

Are you finished?

Are you?

So, now you're lying to protect yourself.

Is that right?

Oh, yeah, okay.

Okay.

Yeah, you...

No.

Now I'm telling the truth.

Come on, Mr. King.

Let's just call this what it is, huh?

You're a liar.

You lied then, and you're lying now.

You know what, Your Honor?

I have no further questions for this... liar.

Don't push me, Mr. Hudson.

Forgive me, Your Honor.

I have no further questions for this witness.

Ms. Graham, any more witnesses?

No, Your Honor.

The people rest.

You can step down.

You know, after this Billy fiasco, we might have to put

Savannah on the stand.

I don't know about that, Pop.

Man, you do that, and you might as well put her in an orange

jumpsuit right now.

She can't do it. Trust me.

I've been trying to prep her for the last month.

She's her own worst enemy.

Alright, so, you got a solution, Lamont?

Savannah's got plenty of friends.

Let them talk her up.

Maybe a juror or two will get star-struck and want to hold

out.

Alright.

So, I put a character witness, have the character witness on

the stand in front of that jury, but eventually we're going to

have to tell our own story, and the only one who can do that is

Savannah.

He's right, Lamont.

♪♪>> Yeah.

Then maybe it's time to sit down with the D.A. and cut a deal.

Hell no.

There's got to be another way.

What about, uh, giving them the real killer?

♪♪>> Who is he?

His name is Todd Townson, and he may very well be the man who

killed Kyle Kirby.

Townson.

Oh, yeah.

100 grand.

Look. It's all here.

It's always good doing business with you.

Oh!

It's all taken care of.

Alright.

Glad I could be of help, Officer.

Thanks, man.

Hey, boss. It's done.

Your Honor, we have no idea who this person is or how

they're relevant to these proceedings.

Your Honor, the people have already introduced the

surveillance video of Kyle Kirby the night of the murder.

We're simply asking for a rebuttal witness.

You did open this up, Ms. Graham.

So I'm going to allow it.

Thank you.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

Yes.

Mr. Townson, please refer to the video playback there.

This is from the night of the murder of Kyle Kirby.

It's 9:14 p.m.

Is that you in that vehicle with Mr. Kyle Kirby, Mr. Townson?

Yeah, that's me.

Yes, and you're having a conversation with Mr. Kirby in

that vehicle?

Yeah, we... we talked.

A heated conversation?

So, you were the last person to see him alive, were you not?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Mr. Townson?

Oh, hell no. No, man.

You ain't trying to pin this shit on me.

So you must have killed... I didn't kill Kyle.

That was my ma... Your Honor, I need to speak to

an attorney.

Kyle Kirby, Mr. Townson.

I think that might be a good idea.

Court will be in recess for two hours.

Before the recess, Mr. Townson, I asked you

if you had a conversation when you drove away with

Mr. Kirby that night.

Were you in the vehicle that evening with Mr. Kirby?

On the advice of my attorney, I'm invoking my Fifth Amendment

right against self-incrimination.

Order!

Order in this courtroom.

Did you... kill Kyle Kirby, Mr. Townson?

Like I said, on the advice of my attorney, I'm invoking my

Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate myself.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Your Honor, because we just found out about this witness

today, we'd like to ask for a brief recess.

Yes. I think that's fair.

Court will resume tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.

Oh, oh, Mr. Hudson, Mr. Hudson, after yesterday's

testimony, how do you feel?

I feel very confident that the jury will do the right

thing.

Thank you very much.

Well, what are you expecting to happen today?

Well, you know what?

I have no idea what's gonna happen today, but whatever

happens, it's gonna be funky.

Your Honor, the people would like to present a rebuttal

witness to Mr. Townson.

Okay, Ms. Graham.

Call your witness.

We'd like to call Officer Paul Jones to the stand.

Officer Jones, approximately 9:20 p.m. on May 20th, did you

happen to come into contact with Todd Townson?

Yes, my partner and I pulled Mr. Townson over for a taillight

being out.

And, uh, was he ticketed?

No.

His license came up suspended, so we arrested him for driving

on a suspended license.

Huh.

So, how long was he in custody?

He was arraigned the next morning at 11:39 a.m. and ROR'd

by the judge.

So he couldn't have been in Far Rockaway killing Kyle Kirby

between the hours of 10:00 p.m.

and 2:00 a.m.

No, ma'am, he couldn't have.

Mm.

Thank you, Officer.

Your witness, Mr. Hudson.

♪♪>> Mr. Hudson, do you have any

further questions for this witness?

No further questions, Your Honor.

Thank you.

Well, then in that case, we'll start summations in the

morning.

You may step down.

♪♪>> "And if justice is not served

here, then I would think that..."

Oh, hello, Mr. Jones.

Hey. Sorry.

I didn't mean to interrupt you guys.

Uh, I was about to head home, and I just wanted to know if

there was anything else you needed from me.

I don't think so, Mr. Jones.

I was just, uh, working on my summation.

Why don't you have a listen?

Sit down.

Sure.

Now, "If justice is not served here, I think that we

should..."

"If..."

What's so funny?

Uh, this might sound a little

disrespectful, but our client is grimy as hell.

Why is that?

She got with that guy Billy in the same bed she slept with

her husband in.

Really?

I've seen that sex tape more than enough times to know that

headboard and the painting above it like the back of my hand.

The crime-scene photos and the sex tape were filmed in the

exact same place.

You know what you should do right now?

Take this down to Perk.

Take a shot of that, please.

I'm gonna take a phone call.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Jones.

I'm calling Judge Jeter.

She has to admit another piece of evidence before we hit the

summation.

I sure hope you're not wasting the court's time on

this, Mr. Hudson.

Well, I don't think that's the case, Your Honor.

This little, uh, field trip that we're doing here will either

exonerate or convict my client.

Your Honor, I would like to reiterate my objection to this

circus Mr. Hudson is trying to place upon the court.

The jury has seen ample photos of the crime scene.

I'm sure that you're aware that a jury visiting a crime

scene is not without precedent, Counselor Graham.

I was reluctant to agree to this, but case law is on his

side.

He does have the right to present live crime-scene

evidence as part of his defense.

I will allow him some leeway on this, but not much.

Shall we proceed?

♪♪>> Mr. Hudson, you can proceed.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Ladies and gentlemen, this bedroom... this is where the

body was found, and my associate will show you pictures of the

crime scene indicating where the body of Mr. Kirby was found.

Objection, Your Honor.

The jury's already seen these photos and plenty more in the

courtroom.

I assure you, Your Honor, that this is going somewhere.

Let's get to the point, Mr. Hudson.

My associate will now share with you another picture.

Enter into the record, please, people's exhibit number 113.

It is a still photograph taken from the Internet, a video of

Ms. Savannah Kirby with her manager, Mr. King.

And there is a distinct similarity between the two

pictures.

What is that similarity, Detective Brown?

Oh, um, the picture on the wall.

Yes, the picture on the wall.

And so you're saying to yourself, "Well, that's

incorrigible.

Wow.

Ms. Savannah Kirby... she is in the same bed with her lover that

she shares with her husband.

Hmm."

So, as attorney for the defense, I have to investigate

everything.

I have to ask the question, "Well who took the

video?" Hmm?

Who, uh... Who had their hand on the

camera?

Well, I'll be.

A nanny cam.

Ms. Graham, I think your office needs to file a motion

for dismissal and issue a warrant for the arrest of

Mrs. Cathy Kirby.

♪♪>> How did you know I was here?

My investigator had all the major players under surveyance

during the trial, and you came here every day.

I knew that you would come back here to stay goodbye to your

son.

I loved that boy more than life itself.

I can't begin to tell you the sacrifices that I made for him.

Yes, well, we parents have a tendency to do that, don't we?

♪ Oh, I remember I gave him everything I had.

All he had to do was give me the money.

I told him that Todd was going to kill me if I didn't pay up my

gambling debts.

And it wasn't like it was a lot of money, not by his standards.

♪♪>> But that was no reason to

kill him, now, was it?

♪ In March, you met the whole family ♪

That boy gave that slut Savannah $2 million to pay off

her credit card bills and refused to give me a lousy

100 grand to pay off my gambling debts.

They were gonna kill me, for God's sake.

And he didn't even care.

I hate to break this news to you, Ma Kirby, but there's

something you should know.

Todd admitted to us that your son did pay off your gambling

debts.
