calories.
2
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,920
was murdered. Roberta Rhodes. The movie star? Six months ago she insured her life with us
3
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,680
for one million dollars. I say murder, she gets two million dollars. I say suicide, she
4
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,000
gets nothing. I couldn't kill Bobby, I loved her. Now this case is just too big for us
5
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,480
to be sitting around on our evidence. Our evidence? Did you pop that in front of this
6
00:00:48,480 --> 00:01:15,280
place again? Did she take her own life? We have two eye witnesses to murder!
7
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:20,400
Is this the way you like it honey? Oh yeah, perfect, you learn fast. That's cause I have
8
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:27,000
a great teacher. Now there's one small thing though. What's that? Your chipper is scraping
9
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:33,440
my ribs. Holy mack, I forgot I still had it in my pocket. You're a good sport, you know
10
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,880
that honey? Here it is almost midnight. Well you promised me a weekend of exercise, fresh
11
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,640
air and togetherness and that's what I'm getting. You said we have to scrape the entire aft
12
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:50,680
deck before you varnish it tomorrow. So? So, you do it alone, it'll take all night. I've
13
00:01:50,680 --> 00:02:03,760
got better things planned for you. Quincy. Oh no. I'm not here. You heard me say absolutely
14
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,920
under no circumstances, right? I did unplug the telephone, didn't I? Okay, I'll get rid
15
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:16,120
of him. First law of the sea. I could shoot you for boarding without permission. I'm sorry
16
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:25,080
Quincy but they want you on it right now. Why are you whispering? Roberta Rhodes. The
17
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:40,560
movie star? Yeah. Oh my god. There he is. Hey, Quincy. Doc, can we have a statement?
18
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:58,200
I'm not going to do anything. Hey, I'm not going to do anything. Quincy, hey. As soon
19
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:05,560
as I know anything you'll know. Lighten up, all right? Lighten up. Get a man a chest to
20
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,400
do his job. Oh, Quincy, Sam, she's in her bedroom. What time is it? It's 12.41. I want temperatures,
21
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,440
I want the room diagram. Who's the photographer? Me Quincy. All right, let's start shooting.
22
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,280
Let's go to Mrs. Spangler. Who else we got? Freddie Box. Get him in here. Right here,
23
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:23,840
Dr. Quincy. Oh god. All right, all right. I know it's tough. Don't think about who she
24
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,520
is, just do your job. Sam, when you and Freddie start bagging and labeling the glass, I want
25
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,320
a clear diagram of where every sliver of glass was found, okay? Watch with your step, Ed.
26
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,320
Okay, all right.
27
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:41,320
All right.
28
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:16,640
Where have you been? In the living room, checking out the mother. And? She's too loaded to make
29
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,160
much sense. Well, she reported it, didn't she? Yeah. Well, if she's sober enough to
30
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,040
dial a telephone, she's sober enough to talk. Give me two minutes.
31
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:36,840
I'd like to make it simple for you, Monahan, and say suicide, but there are too many problems.
32
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:42,960
Contusion of the corner of her eye with atypia swelling. There's a crash mirror here. I don't
33
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:49,080
know. Could be suicide, could be homicide, could be accidental. Oh, that nerves the down
34
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:54,400
real nice. Well, you're going to have an autopsy report in a couple of hours? These are what?
35
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,200
The cigar band collection?
36
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:04,200
The pills to cure migraines, pills to ease muscle spasms, and pills to unclog nasal passages.
37
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:09,560
And there was an empty scotch bottle found in the bathroom. Now, all that booze and all
38
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:15,280
these pills, add them all up, Quincy. What do you got? You still got nothing, Monahan,
39
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:16,280
that would kill her.
40
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:36,400
Mrs. Rhodes, Lieutenant Monahan, this is Dr. Quincy, our medical examiner. My condolences,
41
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:45,440
Mrs. Rhodes. Are you all right? Yes. Tell me what happened. Well, it has the appearance
42
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:54,440
of acute barbiturate intoxication. Suicide? I can't say yet. There is a strong possibility.
43
00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:06,040
I think of all we went through to put you up there. What a waste. Well, if you're through,
44
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:30,000
get out. Come on. I'm Dr. Quincy. I'm the presiding medical officer. The victim has
45
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,520
been positively identified as Roberta Rhodes, actress. She died within an hour or two of
46
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,800
midnight. Now, that's all I have to say now. Thank you. Dr. Quincy, any truth to the rumor
47
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:44,000
that the body of Mrs. Rhodes was found completely naked? Oh, come on, Clarence. That tactic
48
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,960
is wearing pretty thin, isn't it? Why don't you talk to one of the younger fellows? They
49
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,360
might help you update your act.
50
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,080
Doctor, given the hour and the extreme amount of time you spent inside, you must have some
51
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,080
opinion.
52
00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:03,080
Oh, I have an opinion. I think we've lost a very nice lady. Now, excuse me, please.
53
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:14,400
Cute. Come on, Dr. Foley, but just give us a story.
54
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:20,000
Unassistably quick. Is it a sex case? Dr. Quincy, how did it feel to perform an autopsy
55
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:28,000
on one of the most beautiful women in the world? Don't you ever say anything like that
56
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:35,000
to me again. Do you understand that? Ever.
57
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Pathetic. Have any lockdown sets? They got the drone squad sealing off the lab. You let
58
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,000
that stop you?
59
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,960
I think I found a very good possibility. A young kid in investigator training. If he's
60
00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:01,440
handled right, he can keep us very well informed. That'll help. I've never seen such tight security.
61
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,240
Do you think that they connected Mr. Wonderful to that bedroom last night? No, if they knew,
62
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:11,320
they'd interrogate him. Right now, he's carrying on his business as usual. So let's print
63
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:18,160
it anyway. And get what? Another denial? No, I want his name on police reports, on Karn's
64
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:24,080
reports. Then I'll print it. What did you scratch up about this Quincy? Well, he stepped
65
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:31,080
out of a very lucrative private practice to do this. Makes about a tenth of what he could.
66
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:36,200
Man of character. Refreshing.
67
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:44,080
Quincy, I just want you to know that you have my full support in the preparation of your
68
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,400
evidence. I mean, I really, really appreciate the pressures on you. Well, we get used to
69
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:53,360
those things, don't we? And given time, we put all the pieces together. I guess I'm just
70
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,640
not making myself clear. We don't have any time, Quincy. I mean, I just spoke to Deputy
71
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,440
Mayor Lefebvre about the inquest. What inquest? We don't have a case. What are you talking
72
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,040
about? Let's not get upset. Now, this case is just too big for us to be sitting around
73
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:13,480
on our evidence. Our evidence? What evidence? We have a smashed mirror with no apparent
74
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,640
cause, an unexplained contusion, a fresh copy of the Alcride with a picture of Roberta Rhodes
75
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:23,340
on the front page, and this. That's an empty evidence bag. That's right. An empty
76
00:09:23,340 --> 00:09:26,800
bag which should contain an empty barbiturate bottle, but a dozen because there was none
77
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,800
at the scene. And so, for my next step, I'm going to go home and go to sleep because I
78
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,320
can't even think straight anymore.
79
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:41,240
Quincy. Good idea. You just get some rest. I just wanted to mention that Deputy Mayor
80
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,880
Lefebvre is already requesting a jury. Why don't you tell the Deputy Mayor that turned
81
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:51,560
blue, doesn't he? There isn't even a case that he wants to...
82
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:59,960
No, it's exhaustion, Sam. Well, once you get a couple hours shut eye, you'll feel better.
83
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:06,960
Not me, Quincy. Oh, good, good.
84
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:19,480
Dr. Quincy, Paul Riordan, about crime. No comment.
85
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,320
Well, I'm not trying to pester you when to comment, Doctor. I was hoping you'd be receptive
86
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,880
to one of mine. Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.
87
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:33,120
Doctor, I have highly confidential information concerning this Rhodes' death. Someone was
88
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:38,000
with her last night when she died. A lover.
89
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,440
Who? Oh, well, not so fast, Doctor. This information
90
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,600
is worth an exclusive. An exclusive for the Alcride. Isn't that the paper that reports
91
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,600
love affairs between movie stars who never even met one another?
92
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,320
You know, Doctor, our newspaper has the largest circulation of any newspaper in the United
93
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,160
States. Now, I know that's hard to believe, but we are very important to people because
94
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,320
we publish what other newspapers are afraid to print.
95
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,960
Or too honest to print. Now, aren't you prejudging what I'm about
96
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,760
to say? For instance, what would the public think when they learn that Miss Rhodes was
97
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,840
with Congressman Charles Sinclair when she died?
98
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:22,080
Raiden, you better get out of here before I lose my temper.
99
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,880
Now, we have reason to believe that he's implicated in a lot more than suicide.
100
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,600
Then why don't you go to the police? I dare you.
101
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,800
Well, we're a weekly, Doctor. Now, if I went to the police, it would be in every headline
102
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,400
before I could publish it. And you think I want to sit on this news?
103
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:42,000
Well, yes, because you don't believe me. So you'll check it out.
104
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,960
You really are very sure of yourself, aren't you?
105
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:52,680
No, I'm sure of you. I happen to know that you know the Congressman personally.
106
00:11:52,680 --> 00:12:00,320
You better get out of here, Raiden. Now. Now, it's not going to look good, Doctor, when
107
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,320
the public knows that you deliberately covered up information.
108
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:14,760
And I'm telling you, Charles Sinclair was with Roberta Rhodes in her bedroom last night.
109
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:27,560
But, Charlie, drop spot number six. Nobody wants to hear about it.
110
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:32,760
Number six. Wait a minute. That's the offshore oil spot. That's vital here, Pat. They just
111
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,080
had a big spill in Oxnard last week. Research says it's a negative. Everybody's
112
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:41,200
more concerned about gasoline shortages. Pat, we have to talk about this.
113
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,640
Use it at the colleges if you want to. But we're not going to buy air time to promote
114
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,320
a negative issue. Hey, Congressman.
115
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:58,320
Quincey. What the heck are you doing here? Don't you need votes?
116
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:04,000
Sure, but you wouldn't vote for me. Your doctors are all rich and conservative. I'm a flaming
117
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,920
liberal, haven't you heard? Well, I'm not exactly a medical mogul, you
118
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,200
know. I did give up my practice. You gave up medicine?
119
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,480
No, I didn't give up medicine. I joined the coroner's office. I'm a medical examiner.
120
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,240
You're kidding. I don't care about a thing like that. Listen,
121
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,920
I've been hearing what you've been saying about the offshore oil safeguards. I agree
122
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,600
with you. I live at the beach. You know, you couldn't be more right. Keep saying it and
123
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,400
don't listen to your friends. Oh, we'll stay on it. Maybe not with the
124
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,440
paid spots, but I'm going to get that legislation up when I'm elected.
125
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,800
Anybody can. Hey, can I buy you some coffee?
126
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,800
Sure, Cap. Good to see you.
127
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,120
Listen, I'm sorry to hear about you and Charlotte, the separation.
128
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,240
Well, you knew that there were some problems between us, you know, and each one of different
129
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,600
things. You know, I don't begrudge her wanting to spend
130
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:50,480
her money skiing, but I'm a professional meddler. If I can't be busy changing the world for
131
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,640
the better, I'm not happy. Listen to me. You're campaigning. I'm always making sense, which
132
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,240
makes my reason for being here more absurd. But I got to do it, Charles. I got to ask
133
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,720
you something. It's my job. Your job? What does the coroner's office
134
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,320
have to do with me? Roberta Rhodes.
135
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,800
Okay, cameras in position one. Stand by to roll.
136
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,960
I see. Charles, we're just about ready to roll tape.
137
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:19,960
Yeah, I'll be with you in a minute. Quince, I know Roberta. I knew her.
138
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:25,320
We were even seeing each other for a while. Is that what you wanted to ask me about?
139
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,080
No. And did you see her last night? Oh, then heavens no. I haven't seen her for
140
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,720
weeks. We broke it off when I announced my candidacy.
141
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:37,200
Then you can't account for last night? Absolutely. I was at campaign headquarters all
142
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,360
evening with a couple dozen people. Hey, Charles, do you have any idea how much
143
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,520
this studio costs an hour? Go to work. Go to work. Will you, Congressman?
144
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,520
God, it's good to see you. Nice to see you.
145
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,880
Why don't you stick around for a minute? No, I can't. I got to get back to work. But
146
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,000
lunch sometime we'll have a talk. I'm gonna count on it.
147
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,000
All right. You gonna vote for me?
148
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
You do the right things, I will. Okay.
149
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,840
Thirty seconds to tape. My daughter was murdered by Congressman
150
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:06,840
Charles Sinclair. I don't understand something, Mrs. Rhodes.
151
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,200
Why now? Why didn't you tell us this last night?
152
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,160
I was afraid. I can't tell you how afraid I was.
153
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:22,080
Oh, it's no secret. He and Roberta were having an affair and is worried his political backers
154
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:28,280
and they insisted that it end. You see, she wasn't good enough. She wasn't
155
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:35,360
clean enough for their paragon of human virtue. Well, early last evening, Roberta went to
156
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:40,040
his apartment and, I don't know, something must have happened because he followed her
157
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:47,040
back here around ten o'clock. I saw him arrive in that Jaguar he drives.
158
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:54,040
It's a mean sounding car. I never mistake that sound.
159
00:15:54,040 --> 00:16:01,800
They haven't let up for weeks and they're not going to.
160
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:06,040
Roberta, you're being silly and hysterical. I'm not. Newspaper has made me look like
161
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:11,200
a prostitute. You could stop them, Charles. I know you could.
162
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:17,480
Look at me. Roberta, look at me. I'm running for the United States Senate.
163
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,840
I could very well lose and we can't afford to be seen together, not while this candle
164
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,520
sheet's on us and not until Charlotte and I are divorced.
165
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,400
It wouldn't matter if you loved me. Stop being infantile. My backers have read
166
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,040
me the riot act. I've got to clean up my life.
167
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:39,560
Clean up your life? Am I the dirt in your life? Is that what that means?
168
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,760
Exactly. I clean it up when they're finished with me.
169
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:48,760
Stop that. Leave her alone. No, no, no.
170
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:58,760
No, no, Charlie, please. Stop it. Stop it. Charlie, no, no.
171
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:04,200
And when I came to, he was standing over her and she was dead.
172
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,160
What did you do? I pretended I was still unconscious until
173
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:15,600
after he'd gone. Mrs. Rhodes, would you show us where the congressman
174
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,640
gets you? Yes, certainly.
175
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:32,160
That's a bad bruise, Quincy. I'm sorry. And then later on, after he'd gone, I telephoned
176
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,840
the police. And between then and the time that you arrived,
177
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:41,700
one of Charles' henchmen phoned me and threatened my life if I were to tell you what I'm telling
178
00:17:41,700 --> 00:17:45,880
you now. You have no idea who threatened you?
179
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:53,040
No, no, except that he said he worked for Charles. He had a very deep voice and his
180
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,160
language was obscene. All right, Mrs. Rhodes, we'll give you round
181
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:09,560
o'clock protection. Oh, thank you, Lieutenant.
182
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,760
What's with you, Quincy? You're sick. I don't believe her.
183
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,600
I knew Charles Sinclair in the days when he was a public defender.
184
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:22,000
Which explains your objectivity. Listen, now, I know you gotta speak to the
185
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,400
congressman, but will you be soft? For once in your life, will you be discreet?
186
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,560
I appreciate it, Quincy. I'm always soliciting good advice on how to do my job.
187
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,680
Will you listen to me? There are newspapers in this town that are laying for him.
188
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,040
If they even get a hint that he was involved with Roberta Rhodes on the night of her death,
189
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,360
they'll crucify him. This is hard evidence, Quincy. Concrete, stand
190
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:44,480
up and court testimony. Oh, you know why she wanted me here?
191
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,480
I say murder, she gets two million dollars. I say suicide, she gets nothing.
192
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,760
She made a formal statement in writing. I don't care if it's written in blood.
193
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,520
I spoke to Charles Sinclair this morning and he told me he hasn't seen him for weeks
194
00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:03,200
and I believe him. You spoke to Charles Sinclair this morning?
195
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:08,520
Well, he's an old pal. You knew about him and Roberta Rhodes?
196
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,000
Well, really, you know, the aqua he tipped me in her.
197
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,800
Quincy, you hear me and hear me good. The next time you get tipped, no matter how
198
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,880
or who, I want that information on my desk immediately and not two hours later.
199
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:38,920
And if it happens again, I'm citing you on suppression of evidence.
200
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:46,880
Are you trying to tell me that you've been here? Oh, honey, look at all this scraping
201
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,600
you did all by yourself. I told you not to do that.
202
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,560
Well, I don't mind. Besides, I got some sleep.
203
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:58,240
Yeah, I'll bet you did. Wow. Look at this. You did the work of four sailors.
204
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:03,360
Look at those calluses. And look what's rolling in.
205
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:05,520
Where? Up there, clouds.
206
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:10,560
They're beautiful. Might even be the kinds that have the silver lining.
207
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,880
When you cut it up, you know what happens if rain hits the bare wood?
208
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,760
They're going to swell. They're going to warp. Get to look like roof shingles.
209
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:25,080
You mean we did all this work just to ruin your ship?
210
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,040
Oh, no, honey. I didn't mean anything like that. We'll beat it.
211
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,600
I just got to get some varnish down before the trouble comes in.
212
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,080
But I can't. Something's wrong?
213
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:43,040
Oh, Quincy, go do it. You're no good to me the way you are.
214
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,160
I'll varnish. Oh, sure. I'm going to let you varnish.
215
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,880
That you did all the scraping all by yourself.
216
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,200
Quincy, go. I am going to go.
217
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,320
But you're going to promise me that you're going to sit right here and do nothing but sunbathe.
218
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,840
You understand? I want you to relax and sunbathe.
219
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,240
Here, read the magazine. Not that one.
220
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,040
The Handyman.
221
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,880
Quincy. Charlie.
222
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,800
Well, in the world, I don't see you for three years and you turn up twice in one day.
223
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,880
I have to talk to you, Charlie. Sure, come on in.
224
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,240
Can I get you a beer or something?
225
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,520
Right now, the only thing I have a taste for is the truth.
226
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,240
You happen to have any of that on hand?
227
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,160
Roberta. Yep, Roberta.
228
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:27,920
Quincy, I told you. I haven't seen her.
229
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,840
Charlie, the police are on their way here. Now, they have a sworn statement that you killed her.
230
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,080
Killed her? That's right.
231
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,800
Quincy. Who would say such a thing?
232
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:44,320
Her mother. Funny.
233
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,560
You take people for granted and then you turn around and they've got your life in their hands.
234
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:54,080
Remember that old adage, be nice to people on the way up because they can kill you on the way down?
235
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,480
You know, I always just dismissed her as a harmless, irrelevant drunk.
236
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:03,520
Well, a drunk she may be, but her testimony is far from irrelevant.
237
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:09,760
It's not true, Quincy. Look, I don't know why she lied, but you've got to believe me.
238
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,000
I couldn't kill Bobby. I loved her.
239
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,600
You loved her?
240
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:14,480
Yes, I did.
241
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,480
But you did stop seeing her.
242
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,280
Quincy, there are some things that are very hard to explain.
243
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,400
Charlie, Lieutenant Monahan will be here any minute.
244
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,200
Now, Mama's not having any trouble. She has an explanation for everything.
245
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,760
Well, look, I don't understand her statement. Why?
246
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:37,440
Look, I know she didn't approve of many men in Bobby's life, but to accuse me of murder is crazy.
247
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,720
Well, I think I can fill in the why, but I want you to understand the position you're putting
248
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,160
yourself in if any of your story is untrue.
249
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,960
Now, that's Lieutenant Monahan. Are we ready for him?
250
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:49,760
Okay.
251
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:50,560
Quincy.
252
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,240
What?
253
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,920
I did lie.
254
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:54,640
What?
255
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,000
Not about killing her. That's... But I saw her.
256
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:58,400
When?
257
00:22:58,400 --> 00:22:58,800
Last night.
258
00:22:58,800 --> 00:22:59,200
Oh, Charlie.
259
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,720
Quincy, I'm sorry. Look, it just seems so innocent. I thought...
260
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,640
No, it... It was too much of a nightmare to repeat.
261
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,640
People just wouldn't understand.
262
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,160
Well, you're gonna have to give him a chance.
263
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:23,760
Oh, if you'll excuse my rudeness, gentlemen. I, uh... I tried your front door, but it doesn't seem to work.
264
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,760
And your driver, I believe, he was kind enough to let us come up the back way. I hope you don't mind.
265
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,640
No, it's quite all right. I was engrossed in conversation with my old friend. I'm Charles Sinclair.
266
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,360
Oh, yes, surely. Lieutenant Monahan.
267
00:23:35,360 --> 00:23:38,640
Uh, this is Sergeant Burrell. Charles Sinclair.
268
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,440
And this is Miss Polk. Would you sit down, would you?
269
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:46,000
You don't mind, Congressman? Sit down, Miss Polk. Miss Polk's my stenographer.
270
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:54,880
Well, now, I trust you two gentlemen have come up with, uh, something quotable?
271
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,440
Oh, look there, Monahan. I resent that. There's been no commotion here.
272
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:02,160
Never mind what you resent. I resent private investigating on public time.
273
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:08,960
Now, I think it only fair to inform you, Congressman, that you've been formally accused of murdering Roberta Rhodes by her mother.
274
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:16,960
And, uh, oh, Miss Polk here, she has a, uh, type copy of her testimony, which you can either accept or deny.
275
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,960
I suggest you read it.
276
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,960
That won't be necessary. Quincy's already filled me in.
277
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:28,960
Oh, he has, has he? Well, then, that should make it a lot easier for you.
278
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,960
What have you to say to the allegation? It's a blatant lie.
279
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:42,960
All right. Now, if it wouldn't inconvenience our city medical examiner, the police department would like hearing your story firsthand.
280
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,960
And Miss Polk here, she'll take it down for public record. Public record?
281
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,960
Come on, Monahan, you can't...
282
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:54,960
Naturally, Congressman, I'll keep all the facts as confidential as I can, providing it all seems to work out.
283
00:24:54,960 --> 00:25:00,960
Well, we appreciate that. And so will Chief Thomas. The mayor and the governor, they're enthusiastic supporters of Chuck's.
284
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,960
Quincy? Lieutenant?
285
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,960
Pat Doyle, my campaign manager.
286
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,960
How do you do?
287
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:12,960
Pretend like I'm not even here. You go right ahead with your statement and, uh, let the record show it's completely voluntary.
288
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,960
We're all very anxious for this matter to be completely put to rest, you understand?
289
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,960
Do you were about to say something, Charlie?
290
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,960
Tell us about last night.
291
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:28,960
Well, uh, she was demanding more of me. She wanted more of some sort of commitment.
292
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,960
She came here to the apartment last night. She was depressed and angry.
293
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,960
Bobby, you know you're not to come here. There could be reporters following you.
294
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:42,960
What do you expect? It was a dear John phone call. You don't even have the decency to tell me to my face?
295
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,960
For once. Well, you faced the realities. I'm running for the Senate. That's what you're doing.
296
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:52,960
What about my life? What about my career? I can't even get a decent picture anymore, Charlie.
297
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:58,960
What's happened to us? We love each other.
298
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,960
The campaign happened.
299
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:06,960
I went for a swim this morning, and do you know if there were reporters in the trees?
300
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,960
We can stop them. All we have to do is tell them the truth.
301
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:16,960
That we love each other. I'm being threatened with the loss of my major supporters. That means I could lose it all.
302
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,960
And I've worked hard for it. What about what I've worked hard for? Huh?
303
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,960
Everything that I've worked for is right down the drain now.
304
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:32,960
I could get it back, though. All I have to do is have a talk with Reardon about us.
305
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,960
What is that?
306
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:40,960
You wouldn't do that. Why not?
307
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,960
They're only after me because of you.
308
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,960
And you're just like all the rest of them. My mother, the studio, all of them.
309
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:55,960
The takers, every single one of them. Well, I'm sick and tired of giving.
310
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,960
If you walk out on me, Charlie, I'll give that outcry everything it wants.
311
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:05,960
That's absurd. Now just stop it!
312
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:11,960
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
313
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:23,960
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
314
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:36,960
You don't love me anymore.
315
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:48,960
It's over, isn't it? You don't even have the guts to say it.
316
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:55,960
It's all right. It doesn't matter.
317
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:03,960
It doesn't matter. Nothing matters.
318
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,960
Bobby.
319
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,960
Why, Charlie? Why?
320
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:25,960
Please, please.
321
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,960
For a while she couldn't control her crying.
322
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,960
Then she seemed to calm down and she went into the bathroom to fix herself up.
323
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,960
And she fixed herself up and then drove home?
324
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:42,960
Yes. Later that night, about 12.30, when I was driving home from a campaign meeting,
325
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:49,960
I heard the news of her death over the car radio. I immediately drove up to Benedict Canyon.
326
00:28:49,960 --> 00:29:00,960
I saw what was going on. I heard all sorts of rumors. Murder, suicide, drug overdose, attempted rape works.
327
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:07,960
And then I drove home. I'll never forget that drive home.
328
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,960
Charlie, why didn't you come forward with this last night?
329
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,960
The congressman's actions were perfectly understandable, Doctor.
330
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,960
I mean, he was just trying to avoid unnecessary involvement in a death that he had nothing to do with.
331
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,960
Well, why don't you let him speak for himself?
332
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,960
He's right, Quincy. I was afraid.
333
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:35,960
That bruise under her eye, she didn't have that when she was with you last night?
334
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:36,960
No.
335
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,960
No.
336
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,960
Oh, you were there too, Mr. Doyle.
337
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,960
She didn't have it, Quincy.
338
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:50,960
Well, I think that'll be enough for now. I'm leaving, Doctor. Or are you a house guest?
339
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,960
No, I'm leaving.
340
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:59,960
Congressman, Mr. Doyle, I'll keep in touch.
341
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:04,960
So, this is the lab report on the Rhodes telephone.
342
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,960
There were little slivers of glass embedded in the phone case, and there were no fingerprints.
343
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,960
Clearly it was the phone that broke the mirror. That means that Mrs. Rhodes was telling the truth.
344
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,960
It means that it's homicide clear and simple, and I am telling Lefebvre that we are ready to go.
345
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,960
Wait a minute, will you?
346
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,960
Maybe Roberta Rhodes threw the telephone at the mirror in a fit of temper.
347
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:24,960
Against whom, our mother?
348
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:25,960
Why not?
349
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:26,960
Why not?
350
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,960
Maybe she was angry at the person at the other end of the phone.
351
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,960
That's a lot better explanation for throwing a princess telephone in self-defense.
352
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,960
Quincy, what's it going to take?
353
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,960
I can't hold Lefebvre off any longer, and when he hears about Mrs. Rhodes' stay time...
354
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,960
The time. That's all I'm asking for. It's a little time.
355
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,960
Don't pick up the phone and say we're ready when we're not.
356
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,960
I mean, if he forces the issue, I'll understand. I promise you that.
357
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:52,960
No heel dragging.
358
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:53,960
No heel dragging.
359
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:54,960
You're getting in line.
360
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:55,960
Getting in line.
361
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:56,960
Take your licks.
362
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:57,960
Take my licks.
363
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:58,960
And the rest of the team.
364
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,960
Yes, just give me a little time. That's all.
365
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,960
Let me in here. I'm gonna bust some hips.
366
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:07,960
All right, I don't call the deputy mayor. But if he calls me, I'm not giving him any more excuses.
367
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:08,960
No, okay.
368
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,960
Quincy, we've got a problem on the second floor.
369
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,960
A guy trying to get in to see Roberta Rhodes says he's her husband.
370
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,960
Oh, no.
371
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:20,960
Do you have any say here?
372
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,960
Yes, I do, Mr. Tucker. Okay, I recognize him. Come on.
373
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,960
I guess they're not football fans.
374
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,960
See, the press has been using any boost they can to get in there and take pictures.
375
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,960
Look, all I want to do is see Bobby.
376
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,960
Okay. I'll make the arrangements.
377
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,960
Her mother's gonna want a circus. Roberta wouldn't want that.
378
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,960
But I guess it'll be what she gets.
379
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,960
Well, it's really up to what you and Mrs. Rhodes decide.
380
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,960
Ex-husbands don't count for much, Doc.
381
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:58,960
But if there's anything that needs to be done, any expenses, anything, I'll be there.
382
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,960
I'll always be there, honey.
383
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:03,960
When did you find out about it?
384
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,960
Yesterday.
385
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,960
Oh, do I have an alibi? I was in Europe.
386
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,960
Oh, I didn't mean anything like that, honest.
387
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,960
She loved violets.
388
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,960
We're gonna have to see that she gets fresh violets every day.
389
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,960
Maybe you could see that Mrs. Rhodes gets this.
390
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,960
It was one of Roberta's favorites.
391
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,960
I think she might want a place where people could see it.
392
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,960
We are most of us very lonely in this world.
393
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:42,960
Those of you who have loved ones, cling to them and thank God.
394
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,960
Did she take her own life?
395
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,960
We don't know yet.
396
00:32:55,960 --> 00:33:07,960
I'll be around.
397
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,960
I don't get it. What does it mean?
398
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:17,960
It means my job. If anyone finds out I showed you this, it doesn't hit the street for two days.
399
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:23,960
Well, it's not right. Quincey's a good guy. He's not involved in any conspiracy.
400
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,960
You don't have to tell me about Quincey. From what I hear, he is the best.
401
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:34,960
But my boss is out to bring down Congressman Sinclair, and he doesn't care if he crushes Quincey along the way.
402
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:39,960
Well, who the hell is your boss that gives the right to print that kind of thing?
403
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:46,960
Mr. Reardon, my boss, has almost got the proof we need that Sinclair murdered Roberta Rhodes.
404
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,960
Oh, come on. Quincey's not even sure it's a murder.
405
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,960
Mr. Reardon has got a tape that would change your mind.
406
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:58,960
It would change Quincey's mind too, but he doesn't trust him. He thinks he's part of the cover-up.
407
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,960
Now, I personally do not believe that.
408
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:12,960
I think that I can get Mr. Reardon to kill this story, forget about Quincey, and go after Sinclair with both barrels, if you will just give us a little help.
409
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:20,960
Wait a minute. I just saw his office door open. He's free. Now, are you with me or not?
410
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,960
What is it?
411
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,960
This is Freddy Voss. He works for Dr. Quincey down at the coroner's office.
412
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,960
I have nothing further to say to Dr. Quincey or to any of his subordinates.
413
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,960
He wants to help us.
414
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:39,960
Look, I gave Quincey a chance. I told him what was going on. He chose to ignore me, or he was ordered to.
415
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:46,960
Mr. Reardon, I've done some checking, and I am convinced that Dr. Quincey would welcome someone blowing the lid off the Sinclair case.
416
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,960
Right now, his hands are tied. He'd lose his job if he revealed his findings.
417
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,960
And he sent this man to leak the truth to us?
418
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,960
Oh, no, no, no, no. He can't know anything about this arrangement. It would put him in a terrible spot.
419
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,960
Freddy here would have to do that on his own.
420
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:03,960
What? You mean me leak official records?
421
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:08,960
Yeah, well, I don't know that I'm interested. I'm not sure I want to let Quincey keep his job.
422
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,960
Mr. Reardon, I'm trying to tell you, Dr. Quincey is caught in a vice.
423
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,960
And unless we let Freddy here leak us the reports, as they become available to us...
424
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,960
No, no, no, I don't know if I can do that, Floyd.
425
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:26,960
He doesn't know. You offer him a deal, and he reneges before I even accept it.
426
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:32,960
Now, will you just get out of here, Floyd? This headline runs, and we go after Quincey.
427
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:39,960
Now, wait a second. Maybe I'd be willing to help, sir, if I could only hear the tape.
428
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:44,960
You told him about the tape?
429
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,960
Uh, Mr. Reardon, I'm sorry. You see, I thought that...
430
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:56,960
Floyd, please, leave us. I want to talk to Mr. Voss alone.
431
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:03,960
I'm sorry, Mr. Reardon. I just wanted to keep a nice guy from getting hurt.
432
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,960
Mr. Reardon, he was only trying to help. I promise I won't tell anyone.
433
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,960
Yes, well, the damage is done.
434
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:22,960
Looks like I'm forced to trust you.
435
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,960
What was the date?
436
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,960
The 19th.
437
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,960
The night Roberta died.
438
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:34,960
Yes?
439
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,960
Hello, Miss Rhodes. Paul Reardon. How are you?
440
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,960
How am I? I'm exhausted.
441
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,960
Exhausted? Whatever from?
442
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:42,960
You've ruined everything.
443
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,960
Oh, Miss Rhodes, I don't think that's quite fair.
444
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,960
Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that Mr. Charles Sinclair...
445
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,960
Mr. Reardon, I'm scared. Scared for my life.
446
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,960
Is that why you don't want to talk? Because Mr. Sinclair threatened your life?
447
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:57,960
Please.
448
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,960
Well, has he or hasn't he? Has Mr. Sinclair threatened your life?
449
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:01,960
Yes.
450
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:06,960
Oh, you poor thing. I can understand your terror. It's hard to believe.
451
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:14,960
A man who wants to become a senator so much, he doesn't care whether people like you, people who care about him, wind up by the wayside.
452
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:19,960
Now, if I may make a suggestion or two, in your own interest, of course, and I...
453
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,960
Miss Rhodes? Are you still there, Miss Rhodes?
454
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:29,960
Any questions?
455
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,960
What do you want from me?
456
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,960
I'll keep Quincy from getting caught in a squeeze.
457
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:42,960
If you get me everything that comes out of the coroner's office that they turn up with during their investigation.
458
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,960
All right.
459
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:50,960
Okay. I just hope I've done the right thing, protecting Quincy.
460
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:52,960
You have.
461
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,960
Floyd, I want you in my office right now.
462
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:08,960
Now, you did very nicely, Floyd. You have a real flair. I think you're gonna do very well on this paper.
463
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,960
Dr. Gressy, I'd like you to meet Roy Keefer, ball group, CB, life and casualty.
464
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,960
How are you, Doc? We're the carriers for Roberta Rhodes.
465
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,960
You're a fast-moving outfit.
466
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:26,960
What can I do for you?
467
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:26,960
You know, six months ago, she, uh, insured her life with us for one million dollars.
468
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:34,960
Now, I'm sure I look pretty foolish filing law to men of your profession, but a suicide would terminate our obligation to pay the death benefit.
469
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,960
And murder would mean a two million dollar double indemnity.
470
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:43,960
If indeed it is a murder. But according to Dr. Aston's description, the barbituric poisoning...
471
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:48,960
That would, uh, make that seem most unlikely, wouldn't you say?
472
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,960
Unlikely, yes. Impossible, no.
473
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,960
Excuse me a minute, sir.
474
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,960
Sure.
475
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,960
What's going on here?
476
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,960
That insurance brokerage is a private carrier. Has no right to anything until it's announced.
477
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:08,960
Really, doctor? I've known Roy Keefer for 20 years. He's a reputable broker and a darn nice guy.
478
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,960
Now, what's the harm?
479
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,960
The harm is his private business has no right inside these gates.
480
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:19,960
Doctor, your nerves are showing. I would remember that we are all on the same side.
481
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,960
Then he'll understand why he's out.
482
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,960
Mr. Keefer.
483
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,960
Doctor.
484
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:34,960
The slide you're looking at, that was taken from the contusion at the corner of Miss Rose's eye.
485
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,960
Now, Sam and I guessed jeweler's alloy last night.
486
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,960
And Sam's powwow with the metal arrow just confirms it.
487
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:46,960
All right, now, what I see here is that she was struck by a piece of jewelry, no doubt connected to some human appendage.
488
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:48,960
And not too long before she died.
489
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,960
Otherwise, the swelling on her eye would have been more than incipient.
490
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,960
Put the photo enlargement on the screen. I want him to see the impact, Pater.
491
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:56,960
All right.
492
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:02,960
It looks as if someone's ring caught her just beside the super-orbital ridge.
493
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:07,960
But then we could have murder.
494
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:12,960
We could have, we could have. Right now, all we have is that someone struck her.
495
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,960
Well, right, but one thing certainly suggests the other.
496
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,960
Well, don't you? Maybe, maybe not.
497
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,960
Now, wait a minute. What kind of an answer is that? The evidence is clear.
498
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:23,960
Quincy, why are you hedging?
499
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,960
The contusion under her eye. It's more than two hours old.
500
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,960
She had it when she was with Charles Sinclair. He lied. All right?
501
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:43,960
We were very good friends, the three of us. He, his wonderful wife Charlotte, myself.
502
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:52,960
I remember the day she gave him her ring. He loved it. He still wears it.
503
00:40:52,960 --> 00:41:00,960
It's gold and it's platinum. The same alloy that struck Miss Rhodes.
504
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:06,960
Certainly, Dr. Astin, I'll be happy to cooperate.
505
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:15,960
You sink in deeper with every lie.
506
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:19,960
Take off the ring and give it to me.
507
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:20,960
Why?
508
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:26,960
Because I have busted my butt giving you four months of the best political management money can buy.
509
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,960
Because of me, you can win, Charlie boy.
510
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:34,960
Now, put yourself together. Look, she's dead.
511
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,960
There's nothing we can do now to change it.
512
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:44,960
You're all muscle and bone, aren't you, Doyle? You don't understand a thing.
513
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,960
I understand it, Charlie. Now, you understand me.
514
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:56,960
There's no time and no money for losers. If you want that Senate seat, you do exactly as I say.
515
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:09,960
Look, stop thinking like a loser, Charlie. Give me the ring.
516
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:10,960
What do you think you're doing?
517
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:15,960
What does it look like I'm doing? I'm varnishing.
518
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:22,960
I know how to walk on a varnish boat. You told me you were going to sunbathe, that you were going to relax. You weren't going to do anything.
519
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,960
No, that's what you told me I was going to do. But this is what I'm doing.
520
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:27,960
Give me the brush.
521
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:33,960
No, no. Get your own brush. Come on. Varnishing's what we decided to do in the first place, so let's do it.
522
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:34,960
Can't talk you out of it?
523
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:35,960
No.
524
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:40,960
You know something? You're a very beautiful girl, but you're very stubborn, too.
525
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:48,960
Oh. Yeah?
526
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:56,960
Quincy, this is Sam. You'd better come right away. It's very important.
527
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:57,960
What do you got, Sam?
528
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,960
It's a match on the congressman's ring, Quincy.
529
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:05,960
The ridges on the design face fit the shape of the contusion perfectly. The congressman had to be the one to hit her.
530
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:06,960
Any epidermal tracings?
531
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:12,960
Nothing. No skin oils, no residues. It's got to be the cleanest ring in North America.
532
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,960
Sure. He cleaned it before he gave it to you.
533
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:24,960
Quincy, you're going to tell Lieutenant Monahan, aren't you? The ring, Quincy, it's handmade. The only one like it in the world. It's kind of evidence. Cops love.
534
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:34,960
Damn, and all he proves he bopped her doesn't prove he killed her, doesn't even place him at the scene. Look, I know he lied to us, but I just can't believe he killed Roberta Rhodes, that's all.
535
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,960
Quincy?
536
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:41,960
I'll tell them, Sam. I will tell them. First thing in the morning.
537
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:46,960
Good morning.
538
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:02,960
Oh, no, wait a minute. Where'd you park that hearse?
539
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:03,960
How many times I have to tell you it's not a hearse?
540
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,960
Did you park that in front of this place again?
541
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:08,960
Don't ask. It's only weird down here. Here, the keys park it wherever you want.
542
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,960
Tell the place I tend to buy washed dishes.
543
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:13,960
Hey, Doc, remember me?
544
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,960
Oh, you're a hard man to forget. Kiefer and you're an insurer.
545
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,960
I'm flattered. I'm flattered. How are you, Doctor?
546
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,960
This is Daniel DeSoto, Dr. Quincy.
547
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:22,960
How do you do?
548
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,960
It's a pleasure, Doc. Why don't you join us?
549
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:28,960
No, whenever I duck it here for a drink, I never talk business.
550
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:32,960
It'll just take a second. It's kind of important. You know, I've been doing some research on you.
551
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:33,960
On me?
552
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:38,960
You know something? You are almost broke.
553
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:39,960
Always.
554
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,960
What else did you find out about me?
555
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:49,960
Well, you're a contradiction. One minute you're banging on the gates of hell, the next you're bucking for sainthood.
556
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:50,960
You know what they say about Variety?
557
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:55,960
Yes, sir. It's a great aphrodisiac.
558
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,960
You know something else I found out about you, too?
559
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:03,960
You're very active in trying to keep alive a camp for 280 kids up in Monterey.
560
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:05,960
Here's your drink, Scotch and water.
561
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,960
Wow. You really are thorough, aren't you?
562
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,960
But the camp is going to go under. It won't last out the summer.
563
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:19,960
I was talking with one of my vice presidents. The guy is crazy about kids, absolutely crazy about kids.
564
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:26,960
He said he'd like to contribute about $250,000. Keep that camp going for a lot of years.
565
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,960
In exchange for?
566
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:33,960
The truth. A suicide verdict in the Roberta Rhodes death.
567
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:34,960
You're trying to bribe me.
568
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,960
That's right. But if you tell anybody, I'll deny it.
569
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:45,960
Yeah, but I got a witness.
570
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,960
Well, what do you say?
571
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,960
Absolutely no.
572
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,960
Absolutely.
573
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:58,960
You know, you are a child. You're a six-year-old kid who lives in a never-never land.
574
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,960
Don't you ever look out to one of those covers and see what's happening in the real world?
575
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,960
Man, I'm talking about $2 million. $2 million!
576
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,960
Do you know that I could have somebody killed for $2,000?
577
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:15,960
I could have a contract out on somebody for $2,000 and have a hundred guys standing in line waiting to take the job.
578
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,960
Mr. Keefer, that doesn't make you right in me room.
579
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,960
Right a room? Do you think Riordan was interested in what's right or wrong?
580
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,960
Do you think Roberta Rhodes' mother is interested in what's right or wrong?
581
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:29,960
No, she would lie, steal, cheat, suppress any evidence she can to get her hands on that money.
582
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,960
But she's predictable. We can handle her.
583
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,960
But you, you idealists, you're gonna bankrupt us.
584
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:51,960
Why don't you try taking for a change? Maybe you'll like it.
585
00:46:51,960 --> 00:47:00,960
Mr. Keefer?
586
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:02,960
Didn't he forget something?
587
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,960
No.
588
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,960
I'm afraid he did. I'm afraid.
589
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:10,960
Are you sure?
590
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,960
Yes, I am sure. Excuse me.
591
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,960
Very nice meeting you. Really, what? Oh, hi, Lee. Lee, I like your meet. I'm sorry, what's your name again?
592
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:20,960
Danielle.
593
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,960
Oh, DeSoto. Yes, like the card we remember. Very nice meeting you. This is Li... You're not gonna believe this.
594
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:25,960
An insurance guy comes and...
595
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:29,960
There are no strings on either of us, Quince. Your life is your own.
596
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,960
Only please, not while I'm varnishing your lousy boat.
597
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:37,960
Listen, I hate to interrupt your true love, Bresbrook. I want you to listen to this.
598
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,960
Honey, I'm explaining to the lady that...
599
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,960
Now, what is this dramatic breakthrough?
600
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:51,960
We have incontrovertible evidence that Roberta Rhodes was savagely beaten moments before her death.
601
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:59,960
Microscopic analysis of a ring belonging to a major political figure was performed by the city coroner.
602
00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:11,960
This analysis proves that it was this political figure wearing this ring who mercilessly beat and subsequently murdered Roberta Rhodes by forced barbiturate poison.
603
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:13,960
To whom did this ring belong?
604
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,960
Congressman Charles Sinclair.
605
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:16,960
What's this all about?
606
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:18,960
Quincey!
607
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:30,960
Adam, Sam, I want everybody in here. Every doctor, every janitor, every secretary, every technician. I don't want them here on the double!
608
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:44,960
Bad news travels faster than I do.
609
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:49,960
How could you do it, Quincey? A piece of evidence like that ring, how could you hold that back from me?
610
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:57,960
Look, I only got the report two hours ago. You were home then, not at the station. Besides, I knew there was an explanation for this. I thought I might find out what it was.
611
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,960
By morning, no doubt.
612
00:48:59,960 --> 00:49:08,960
You are not a district attorney. You are not a detective. You are a scientist. Your job is to interpret evidence, not conceal it.
613
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:10,960
But Charlie Sinclair is a friend of mine!
614
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:15,960
Look, your friend lied to you on two separate occasions. What makes you think he's not going to try for three?
615
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,960
He may have changed, but he's not a murderer.
616
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:23,960
Clara Rhodes saw him hit Roberta Rhodes and forced barbiturates down her throat, and I believe her.
617
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:24,960
And I don't.
618
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:30,960
Fellas, you'll both have your day in court. The inquest goes tomorrow morning.
619
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:31,960
What?
620
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,960
What do you think I could hold Lefebvre off after this bombshell?
621
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:35,960
But I need more time!
622
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:40,960
Oh, really? A few hours ago, you seemed to think you could handle everything before morning.
623
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,960
Well, that's what you have. Until tomorrow morning.
624
00:49:55,960 --> 00:50:01,960
There are some of you here whose face and name I don't know. I'm going to have to do something about that.
625
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:03,960
Because we're a family.
626
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,960
Now, nobody's going to ever accuse you of being overpaid.
627
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,960
We all know there's a lot more money to be made on the outside.
628
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,960
Any of you want a piece of that action? Nobody can fault you for going after it.
629
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:25,960
But if you choose to stay here, then you must not, you cannot, violate the code of confidentiality that exists in this office.
630
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:27,960
It's just too darned important!
631
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:33,960
A leak from this office can let a murderer go free to murder again.
632
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:40,960
A man is going to have to face a coroner's inquest and probably be indicted for murder.
633
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:45,960
I happen to think he's innocent. But I needed more time to prove it.
634
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:50,960
One of you took that time away from me and him.
635
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:58,960
One of you disgraced this office. And whoever you are, you better get out of here.
636
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,960
And you better get out of here now.
637
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:05,960
Go back to work.
638
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:17,960
I am Robert J. Aston, A-S-T-I-N, MD Administrative Deputy Coroner for the City of Los Angeles.
639
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:22,960
The purpose of any inquest is to bring to light pertinent information surrounding a death.
640
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:28,960
Now with us at the Mayor's request is a standing jury who will hear, examine the evidence,
641
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:34,960
and recommend to the District Attorney whether or not he should proceed upon an investigation of murder.
642
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:39,960
Now this is not a court of law, but it is a legal court of inquiry.
643
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:44,960
Dr. Quincy is the presiding medical examiner, Lieutenant Monahan, the police homicide liaison.
644
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:51,960
And let the record show that one of the subpoenaed witnesses, Charles Sinclair, is not in attendance.
645
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:56,960
The bailiff will make every attempt to please find out why and notify the appropriate marshals.
646
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:01,960
Dr. Quincy, would you state for this body the official cause of death?
647
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:04,960
The Scrooge's death was caused by an overdose of barbiturates.
648
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:09,960
I believe they were self-administered and with forethought. Our intent? Suicide.
649
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,960
Order. Order.
650
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,960
Lieutenant Monahan, is the police department in agreement with this finding?
651
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:21,960
No, we are not. While an overdose of barbiturates is what killed Miss Rhodes,
652
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:30,960
there is circumstantial evidence and conflicting testimony which makes it impossible for my office to dismiss the feasibility of murder.
653
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:32,960
Order.
654
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:38,960
Then it is the immediate task of this body to examine that evidence and testimony.
655
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:44,960
No empty barbiturate container was found anywhere about the bedroom or the premises.
656
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:49,960
Now there was a dressing room mirror that was shattered, we believe, by a thrown telephone.
657
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:54,960
And the telephone in question was wiped clean of fingerprints by a party or parties unknown.
658
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,960
There was a fresh bruise at the corner of Miss Rhodes' eye.
659
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:02,960
In studying the bruise, Dr. Quincy and I discovered platinum gold tracings.
660
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:10,960
This, with a pattern of the contusion, suggested that she'd been hit by a piece of jewelry. Probably a ring.
661
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:16,960
Then you compared the contusion with a ring worn by Congressman Charles Sinclair and discovered what?
662
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:21,960
It was a perfect match.
663
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:28,960
Mrs. Rhodes, in your statement you alleged that Charles Sinclair was beating your daughter when you entered.
664
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:33,960
You attempted saving her and you yourself were beaten unconscious.
665
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:38,960
Yes. He struck me with his fist.
666
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:40,960
Right.
667
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,960
And you were the one who was beaten unconscious.
668
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:51,960
You were beaten unconscious. Yes. He struck me with his fist.
669
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:53,960
Right there.
670
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:58,960
If there are no further questions, Lieutenant.
671
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,960
I have none. And you, Dr. Quincy.
672
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,960
Oh yes, yes.
673
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:10,960
Yes. Mrs. Rhodes, I understand that your daughter's life was recently insured for a million dollars.
674
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:19,960
Yes. Roberta knew that if anything happened to her that I'd be left with nothing. It was at her urging, actually.
675
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,960
The policy is what, about six months old?
676
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,960
So the decision this panel makes is rather important to you, isn't it?
677
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:32,960
Suicide releases the insurance company from paying the death benefit and murder means double indemnity.
678
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,960
That's a two million dollar double indemnity.
679
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:41,960
Yes, that's all the more reason why Roberta would never take her own life.
680
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,960
She loved me.
681
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:51,960
Why should she take out such a policy if she were the kind of girl who was going to kill herself?
682
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:56,960
Leave me all alone with nothing.
683
00:54:59,960 --> 00:55:03,960
We had a reporter watching her house day and night.
684
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,960
He saw Sinclair arrive and go inside.
685
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,960
Was this alleged reporter on the property?
686
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,960
No, he was outside the fence on public property.
687
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:17,960
However, Mrs. Rhodes' bedroom opens into a corridor which can be observed through glass doors.
688
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,960
He used a telephoto lens.
689
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:21,960
Do you have the pictures?
690
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:27,960
Unfortunately, no. Well, he's new. He used the raw exposure.
691
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:32,960
Let the record show that our lab technicians were unable to see Mrs. Rhodes' bedroom from outside the fence.
692
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,960
Even while using a telephoto lens.
693
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:40,960
Order, order.
694
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,960
Let the record also show that this is hearsay.
695
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,960
For all we know, complete fabrication.
696
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:50,960
If there really is a reporter who saw the murder, why isn't he here now?
697
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:52,960
He is.
698
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,960
I was there.
699
00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:02,960
I saw Congressman Sinclair go into the house.
700
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,960
I only saw half the room, but it was the busy half.
701
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:10,960
I have never been so frightened in my entire life.
702
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:16,960
I heard screaming and crying, and then it was quiet.
703
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:21,960
It was a long time before the congressman left.
704
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:26,960
Dr. Aston?
705
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,960
Hello.
706
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,960
Why didn't you take this information to the police?
707
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,960
I was afraid.
708
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,960
Oh, afraid. For your life. Come on now.
709
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:42,960
I didn't mean I was afraid of losing my life. I was afraid of losing my job.
710
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:47,960
You see, I wasn't standing on the street, as I told Mr. Reardon.
711
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,960
When I saw the congressman arrive and I heard the screaming,
712
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,960
I moved in closer, right onto private property.
713
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:59,960
That's when I saw the congressman standing over Miss Rhodes' body.
714
00:56:59,960 --> 00:57:03,960
She was not moving.
715
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,960
I knew I could be fired if I told anyone exactly what I saw.
716
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,960
Mr. Reardon has very strict rules.
717
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:15,960
Do you know what the penalty is for perjury?
718
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:17,960
Dr. Aston, I must protest.
719
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,960
Dr. Aston, the outcry has stolen confidential documents from the coroner's office,
720
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:23,960
and now I believe they have resorted to perjury.
721
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:24,960
Doctor, may I speak?
722
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:25,960
Now I haven't finished yet!
723
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:27,960
Quincy, Quincy.
724
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,960
You may speak, Mr. Reardon, if it's pertinent.
725
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:32,960
It is very pertinent.
726
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:37,960
Now, this personal cohort of Charles Sinclair is confusing issues
727
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,960
in an attempt to delay these proceedings.
728
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:44,960
We have two eyewitnesses to murder right here in this room.
729
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:46,960
Clara Rhodes and Floyd Baker.
730
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,960
Now, with the lethal ring already in evidence,
731
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:54,960
what more does the district attorney need to initiate a warrant for murder?
732
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:00,960
Order, order, order!
733
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:07,960
Mr. Reardon, your observation is notwithstanding,
734
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:11,960
this inquiry will determine what the district attorney needs.
735
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:15,960
Dr. Quincy, do you have any further questions?
736
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:16,960
No, sir.
737
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,960
Lieutenant Monahan, do you have any further questions?
738
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:21,960
None.
739
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:26,960
Well, it's already two and a half minutes past noon.
740
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,960
I suggest that we adjourn until two o'clock,
741
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:41,960
at which time I will ask the jury to consider their findings.
742
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:42,960
How's it going?
743
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:43,960
Rup.
744
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:44,960
Sinclair never showed.
745
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:46,960
You did the best you could, Quincy.
746
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,960
Well, if you ask me, Charlie Sinclair let you down.
747
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:51,960
Gotta admit, an innocent man doesn't run.
748
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,960
Do you know anybody who goes voluntarily to their own lynching?
749
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:56,960
Mary Quincy, I've got an all points out for him as of now.
750
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:58,960
He's a fugitive.
751
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:00,960
Quincy, I gotta talk to you.
752
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:01,960
No, no, buddy.
753
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:03,960
Quincy, I gotta.
754
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:05,960
It was me. I thought I was helping you.
755
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:07,960
What do you mean helping? What are you talking about?
756
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:09,960
They conned me, Quincy.
757
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:11,960
Up in Reardon's office, they had a tape.
758
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:12,960
What tape? Who?
759
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:14,960
A tape of a phone conversation between Roberta Rhodes
760
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:16,960
and the outcry the night that she died.
761
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:18,960
Wait a minute.
762
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,960
Are you telling me there's a telephone conversation
763
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:22,960
between Roberta Rhodes and Reardon, and they've got it on tape?
764
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:25,960
Yeah, yeah. He tapes all his calls. He's got a wall full of them.
765
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:27,960
Sam, get the bail if I want a court order.
766
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:29,960
Well, that's not gonna do any good, you see,
767
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:31,960
because the tape's got Roberta Rhodes threatening
768
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:33,960
to have Reardon killed by Sinclair.
769
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,960
Quince, you need a tape like that, like a hole in the head.
770
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,960
Sam, if that tape says what Buddy thinks it says,
771
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:41,960
do you think Reardon would miss the opportunity
772
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:43,960
to play it here for this audience?
773
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:45,960
You think the tape was doctored?
774
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:47,960
I'll bet Sinclair's life and my career on it.
775
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:49,960
Move it, Sam. You wait here, honey.
776
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:51,960
Come on.
777
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:51,960
Quincy, Quincy. I'm sorry.
778
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:53,960
Let's try to make up for it. Come on.
779
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:55,960
Where are they going in such a hurry?
780
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:57,960
Men's room.
781
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,960
Hey, what is this? You better hold it right there, buster.
782
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:10,960
It's not Nazi Germany.
783
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,960
That's right. It's California, and this is a California court order
784
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,960
for evidence suppressed from a murder investigation. Read it.
785
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:19,960
This is the one.
786
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:21,960
Date of night before last.
787
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,960
I want the phone call they edited to make that one.
788
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:30,960
As you know, Mr. Reed,
789
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:32,960
the job of the medical examiner's office
790
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,960
is to examine all physical evidence involved in the loss of life.
791
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:37,960
But there is another part to our job,
792
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,960
which maybe even you don't know too much about.
793
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:42,960
It's called a psychiatric autopsy.
794
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:44,960
Now, in apparent suicides,
795
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:46,960
it's more important than physical evidence.
796
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,960
You see, I've been looking for that missing link
797
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,960
in the chain of events that finally drove Miss Rhodes over the edge
798
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:55,960
and made her kill herself.
799
01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:01,960
Doctor, your biggest missing link is Congressman Charles Sinclair.
800
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:04,960
I apologize for interrupting your testimony.
801
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:08,960
Thanks.
802
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,960
I'm afraid I owe more than an apology to this court.
803
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:16,960
Thank you, Congressman Sinclair.
804
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,960
There are more than apologies to be considered here.
805
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:22,960
Some very serious charges have been made against you.
806
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:24,960
I understand that.
807
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,960
And I assume full responsibility for Roberta Rhodes' death.
808
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:32,960
All right, calm down. Just calm down.
809
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,960
Now, Congressman, if you wish to make a statement for the record,
810
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,960
the police department is represented by Lieutenant Monahan.
811
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,960
Yes, I would.
812
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:43,960
Quincy, I'm sorry. I lied to you.
813
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:46,960
I, uh, I hit Roberta.
814
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:48,960
Give me five minutes.
815
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:50,960
I know everything. I found some new evidence.
816
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:52,960
Please, Charlie, give me five minutes.
817
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:58,960
Dr. Astin, before you let the congressman testify,
818
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:00,960
I was about to introduce some new evidence
819
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,960
which I believe will have a strong bearing on the outcome of this hearing.
820
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:05,960
Quincy, it certainly can't be more important.
821
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,960
Everybody in this room will be enlightened, including the congressman,
822
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,960
by a tape we just obtained from Mr. Reardon's office
823
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:15,960
of a phone conversation he had with Ms. Rhodes on the night she died.
824
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:17,960
The night she died?
825
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:19,960
Doctor, that tape was illegally obtained
826
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:22,960
and is not admissible evidence in a court of law.
827
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:24,960
This is not a court of law, Mr. Reardon.
828
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:26,960
This is a coroner's inquest.
829
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,960
Would you like us to assume that you object to the jury
830
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:31,960
hearing that conversation with Ms. Rhodes?
831
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:36,960
Well, someone could misunderstand.
832
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:38,960
I have nothing to hide.
833
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,960
I'm a reporter in search of the truth.
834
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:43,960
Thank you. Sam.
835
01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:46,960
Is it possible, Mr. Reardon,
836
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:51,960
that you were the last person to be with Ms. Rhodes on the night she died
837
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:53,960
and not Congressman Sinclair?
838
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:55,960
Don't be ridiculous, Quincy.
839
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:57,960
Oh, I don't mean in person,
840
01:02:57,960 --> 01:03:00,960
but maybe you spoke to her on the telephone.
841
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,960
This is going to cost you a fortune in litigation.
842
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:05,960
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
843
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:10,960
listen carefully and please note the mention of the hour.
844
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:17,960
Hello.
845
01:03:17,960 --> 01:03:19,960
Hello, Ms. Rhodes. Paul Reardon.
846
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:21,960
How are you?
847
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:24,960
Exhausted.
848
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:26,960
Really? So early?
849
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:28,960
It's not quite 11.30.
850
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:30,960
Have we been overdoing it tonight, Ms. Rhodes?
851
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,960
Well, listen, you can go to sleep in five minutes
852
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:35,960
and with a clear conscience.
853
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:39,960
All you have to do is corroborate what we already know,
854
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:42,960
that you and Charles Sinclair were having a love affair.
855
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:44,960
Leave me alone.
856
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,960
No, no, no, no. We don't hang up, Ms. Rhodes.
857
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,960
Not unless we want outcry going nudie.
858
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,960
We wouldn't want to be a centerfold now, would we, Ms. Rhodes?
859
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:55,960
Go ahead. I don't care.
860
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:57,960
Ah, you're depressed.
861
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:00,960
I'm sorry.
862
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,960
But please, don't make us print those skin shots.
863
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:07,960
I mean, we can make them look like you were entertaining the Los Angeles Rams.
864
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:09,960
Oh.
865
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:12,960
You are so filthy.
866
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,960
What do you want from me, huh?
867
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:17,960
You know very well what we want.
868
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:20,960
Why don't you tell him and get it over with?
869
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:22,960
Go to bed, Mother.
870
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:24,960
Stupid girl, he doesn't love you.
871
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:26,960
Go to bed.
872
01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:28,960
Go to bed, Mother.
873
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:30,960
I always were a stupid girl.
874
01:04:30,960 --> 01:04:35,960
If it wasn't for me, you'd be fat and pregnant with that garage mechanic.
875
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:38,960
Or still married to that football bum.
876
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:42,960
Hello, Ms. Rhodes. Hello.
877
01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:44,960
Are you still there, Ms. Rhodes?
878
01:04:44,960 --> 01:04:47,960
Yes. I'm still here.
879
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,960
Well, that's fortunate. For a moment I thought I'd been cut off.
880
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:52,960
You have been cut off.
881
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:54,960
You're not getting anything from me.
882
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:59,960
Oh, well, now that's unwise. Terribly unwise.
883
01:04:59,960 --> 01:05:06,960
Mr. Reardon, please, you've done just about everything that you can do to me.
884
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:09,960
You made me look like a prostitute.
885
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,960
Please, stop it.
886
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:16,960
I can't hear you, Ms. Rhodes. Would you repeat that for me?
887
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:20,960
Why do you hate him? What did he ever do to you?
888
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:24,960
Oh, well, I tell you, I hate bleeding hearts with sloppy morals.
889
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:30,960
Would you just stop the calls? Please, just stop the calls.
890
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:35,960
No, Ms. Rhodes. The outcry never stops until it gets its man. Now you know that.
891
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:37,960
Now make it easy on yourself.
892
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:39,960
Tell us about the congressman.
893
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,960
Get it off your lovely chest and let us serve it up to the people.
894
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:44,960
You're sick.
895
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:48,960
A ten-minute exclusive gets you off the hook, I swear.
896
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:50,960
We don't want you. In fact, we rather like you.
897
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:56,960
The person we want is that smiling Ivy Leaguer who wants to sweet talk this country down the toilet.
898
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:59,960
Now what do you say, Ms. Rhodes? An exclusive or do we escalate?
899
01:05:59,960 --> 01:06:04,960
No! And you know what you can do with your filthy newspaper?
900
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:09,960
Well, now, I'm disappointed in you, Ms. Rhodes. Let me tell you how disappointed.
901
01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:14,960
From here on in, there's going to be ten reporters following you day and night.
902
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:17,960
You won't be able to talk to your gardener without it becoming an orgy.
903
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:21,960
You won't leave your house alone. You won't take a walk alone.
904
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,960
We'll plaster the front page with pictures, naked pictures.
905
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:26,960
Stop it!
906
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:30,960
It was you! You! It was you!
907
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,960
And all the time I thought it was him, it was you!
908
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:37,960
You were my only friend! It was you! It was you!
909
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:40,960
Please, Rhodes. Take the stand, please.
910
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:42,960
Oh, does it matter anymore?
911
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:47,960
It doesn't matter. Your daughter didn't intend for her lover to be accused of her murder.
912
01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,960
Roberta had so many people taking from her.
913
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,960
I was one of them, I guess.
914
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:57,960
But we were afraid that the outcry would ruin her career and she'd lose everything.
915
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,960
I would lose everything.
916
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:05,960
She'd spoken to me about her anguish over this situation.
917
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,960
And I was no comfort to her.
918
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:11,960
Oh, Dr. Quincy, this is very difficult for me.
919
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:13,960
I understand.
920
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:19,960
Later that night, I just settled down to have a drink and I heard the mirror shatter.
921
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:25,960
And when I got up to go in, my foot caught in the hem of my dress and I fell.
922
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:29,960
I fell against the piano and I hit my head.
923
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:31,960
That's how I got this.
924
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:34,960
And I was knocked out.
925
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:40,960
And then when I came to, I went in and it was too late.
926
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:42,960
It was way too late.
927
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,960
And then I saw the pill bottle on the nightstand.
928
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:49,960
I was absolutely in shock.
929
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:51,960
I took the pill bottle.
930
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:52,960
And the telephone?
931
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:55,960
Yes, I wiped that off.
932
01:07:55,960 --> 01:08:03,960
I didn't want to be a poor old woman living in a boarding house somewhere alone.
933
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:07,960
I didn't want to be poor.
934
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,960
Lieutenant, in the light of the change in Mrs. Rhodes' testimony,
935
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:16,960
does the police department wish to withdraw its objection to Dr. Quincy's verdict of suicide?
936
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:21,960
The police department will support that verdict.
937
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:23,960
The coroner's office won't.
938
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,960
What?
939
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:34,960
I don't believe that a declaration of suicide answers away the behavior that I saw and heard of today.
940
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:41,960
Now, I heard of abuses today so cold, so vicious, so unrelenting,
941
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:47,960
that they drove a woman away from that most precious of all possessions, her life.
942
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:53,960
Now, there is no word that explains that measure of anguish that drove her to her death.
943
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:59,960
Ladies and gentlemen, let us take a moment and do an accounting of abuses.
944
01:08:59,960 --> 01:09:07,960
Let us do an accounting of 23 scathing articles by Mr. Paul Reardon of the Outcry.
945
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:16,960
23 weeks of unrelenting abuse punctuated only by heaven knows how many threatening phone calls.
946
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:20,960
23 weeks of reporters violating her life and her privacy.
947
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:25,960
And why? Why?
948
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:30,960
Because she refused to betray the man she loved.
949
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:34,960
She endured it for him because she loved him.
950
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:39,960
She endured it for him after he had turned his back on her to pursue his own ambitions.
951
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,960
He was a weak man.
952
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:49,960
But you, oh, you, Mr. Reardon, you're the one.
953
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:58,960
You're that special breed of leech that latches on to the gentle souls, the vulnerable, the defenseless.
954
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:07,960
You chipped away and chipped away at a fellow human being that had never done one iota of harm to you.
955
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:13,960
You maligned and denigrated and maddened a woman who could turn to no one for help.
956
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:19,960
And why? To damage a man you had never even met.
957
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:24,960
You're a sick man, Mr. Reardon, and evil.
958
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:28,960
You drove her to her death just as sure as if you had plunged a knife into her heart.
959
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:31,960
And it was premeditated.
960
01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,960
23 weeks of premeditated murder.
961
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:41,960
And if there is a God in his heaven, he certainly knows what you have done.
962
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:52,960
And his justice is a lot better than ours.
963
01:10:52,960 --> 01:11:01,960
Dr. Quincy, I will turn the results of this hearing over to the district attorney for possible charges of perjury.
964
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:22,960
And let the record show that Roberta Rhodes died of barbiturate poisoning. Self-induced.
965
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,960
Congressman Sinclair. Congressman.
966
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:27,960
What happens now? Are you going to withdraw?
967
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:28,960
I've already done that.
968
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:32,960
Well, what about the tape? Would you have pulled out if you'd known about that?
969
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,960
I withdrew because of myself. That has nothing to do with the tape.
970
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:38,960
Congressman, just one question.
971
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:42,960
Please.
972
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:44,960
Oh, Quincy.
973
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:47,960
Nobody could be more ashamed of me than I am.
974
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:49,960
Does that mean you're going to quit?
975
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:57,960
My head is in 17 different places. I've got to find out who I am. Where I'm going.
976
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:01,960
Well, I hope you make it. You know that, Charlie?
977
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:03,960
Thank you.
978
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:10,960
Mr. Reardon, what is your response to the charge that the tape was doctored?
979
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:12,960
I support it wholeheartedly.
980
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:14,960
You admit that the tape was doctored?
981
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:21,960
Of course, after it was illegally taken from the offices of Outcry by co-conspirators of Congressman Sinclair.
982
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:24,960
But you'll be able to read...
983
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,960
Oh, my God!
984
01:12:54,960 --> 01:13:03,960
