1
00:00:00,167 --> 00:00:04,832
In the criminal justice system, all defendants
are innocent until proven guilty, either by confession,
2
00:00:04,998 --> 00:00:07,886
plea bargain, or trial by jury.
3
00:00:08,109 --> 00:00:10,275
This is one of those trials.
4
00:00:13,163 --> 00:00:14,884
She was in love with him.
5
00:00:16,328 --> 00:00:20,161
I tried to warn her.
All clichés are true.
6
00:00:21,071 --> 00:00:24,237
But naiveté shouldn't be a death sentence.
7
00:00:25,126 --> 00:00:30,624
Everybody in this office knows that
Kurt Lascher murdered my daughter.
8
00:00:30,814 --> 00:00:32,757
You've known for 19 months.
9
00:00:32,813 --> 00:00:37,923
Unfortunately, Mrs. Blaylock, knowing
and proving are very different things.
10
00:00:38,311 --> 00:00:41,866
- Her blood...
- Was in the car, but that's inadmissible.
11
00:00:42,270 --> 00:00:43,447
You know that.
12
00:00:43,492 --> 00:00:46,557
- It was contaminated.
- So you're saying what?
13
00:00:46,641 --> 00:00:49,819
A murderer gets to walk free
just because he's famous?
14
00:00:49,869 --> 00:00:54,534
No, I'm saying it's very difficult
to convict a murderer if there's no evidence.
15
00:00:54,590 --> 00:00:56,978
Well, that's why I'm here.
16
00:00:57,111 --> 00:00:58,444
Evidence.
17
00:00:58,555 --> 00:01:02,387
I found this in her trench coat pocket.
It's an obstetrician's card.
18
00:01:02,443 --> 00:01:06,219
There's a date on the back.
It's for the day before she disappeared.
19
00:01:07,163 --> 00:01:10,607
Well, this is great.
We'll look into it.
20
00:01:14,089 --> 00:01:15,700
It's not right!
21
00:01:16,810 --> 00:01:19,810
I mean can you stand there
and tell me that this is right?
22
00:01:20,444 --> 00:01:24,553
No. No, I can't.
23
00:01:49,712 --> 00:01:50,656
What?
24
00:01:52,211 --> 00:01:54,044
What time?
25
00:01:54,322 --> 00:01:57,821
Listen. I have an 11:00 rehearsal.
26
00:01:58,432 --> 00:02:01,931
All right. All right, I'll have Roberto
pick you up on the way.
27
00:02:02,093 --> 00:02:05,258
And, Peter, you were supposed to
make this go away.
28
00:02:05,258 --> 00:02:06,925
Remember that part?
29
00:02:12,128 --> 00:02:14,128
Ohh! Who was that?
30
00:02:14,927 --> 00:02:18,593
- My lawyer.
- A little late, don't you think?
31
00:02:18,982 --> 00:02:21,314
He just got a phone call.
32
00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:24,536
I have to surrender in the morning.
33
00:02:26,202 --> 00:02:29,867
Surrender to who? Why?
34
00:02:31,667 --> 00:02:33,333
The police.
35
00:02:33,444 --> 00:02:35,721
They think I killed DeDe Blaylock.
36
00:02:38,798 --> 00:02:41,963
It's a different prosecutor.
A broad with a hair up her ass.
37
00:02:42,075 --> 00:02:44,407
- Just handle it.
- Oh, that bitch!
38
00:02:44,463 --> 00:02:46,962
We agreed absolutely no press!
39
00:02:50,723 --> 00:02:52,611
Back it up. Give him some room.
40
00:03:01,775 --> 00:03:03,164
Thank you.
41
00:03:05,835 --> 00:03:08,056
Could you just please let us through?
42
00:03:08,167 --> 00:03:11,000
Kurt, you know I would never
have agreed to this perp walk.
43
00:03:11,055 --> 00:03:13,166
Shut up, Peter.
She didn't call them.
44
00:03:13,499 --> 00:03:14,943
I did.
45
00:03:14,982 --> 00:03:17,037
Did you kill your girlfriend, Mr. Lascher?
46
00:03:27,367 --> 00:03:28,922
Thank you.
47
00:03:34,188 --> 00:03:46,052
Law and Order Trial By Jury
Episode 1x01 - The abominable showman

Thanks to Csivore and Nick Eads

50
00:04:18,453 --> 00:04:24,034
Docu 101604,
People of the State of New-York vs Kurt Lascher.
51
00:04:24,113 --> 00:04:26,388
The charge is murder in the second degree.
52
00:04:26,530 --> 00:04:27,810
How do you plead Mr. Lascher ?
53
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,510
Absolutly not guilty.
54
00:04:29,581 --> 00:04:34,202
Save the rewrite for the pain customer.
A simple declare of not guilty is indecridibly sufficient.
55
00:04:34,273 --> 00:04:35,091
Thanks, Your Honor.
56
00:04:35,126 --> 00:04:38,219
- People on bail, Ms. Gaffney?
- It's a murder, your honor.
57
00:04:38,304 --> 00:04:40,294
The defendant has a nine-figure net worth.
58
00:04:40,345 --> 00:04:43,331
He has a Gulfstream jet that can take
him out of this country at will.
59
00:04:43,402 --> 00:04:46,743
We ask for remand given that he is
the living definition of a flight risk.
60
00:04:46,779 --> 00:04:48,627
Ray Charles could have seen that, counselor.
61
00:04:49,068 --> 00:04:51,770
However, I'm loathe to remand
someone when there's no body.
62
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:53,582
But I can make it expensive.
63
00:04:53,689 --> 00:04:56,142
Bail is set at $5 million.
64
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,507
What!
65
00:04:57,578 --> 00:04:59,853
And Mr. Lascher will surrender his passport.
66
00:05:01,610 --> 00:05:02,925
Did you kill your girlfriend, Mr. Lascher?
67
00:05:04,169 --> 00:05:09,252
Clearly a defendant who is terrified at the prospect
of dealing with the criminal justice system.
68
00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:11,946
The man is custom-tailored scum, Arthur.
69
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,866
He's a producer, Jack.
70
00:05:13,901 --> 00:05:17,101
And the reason I had you
hand this case off last year...
71
00:05:17,136 --> 00:05:20,868
is because I didn't see how a jury would
convict this guy without the blood evidence,
72
00:05:20,797 --> 00:05:22,503
not to mention without the body.
73
00:05:22,817 --> 00:05:26,941
And I didn't want my Executive Assistant
lose a celebrity case at trial.
74
00:05:27,083 --> 00:05:28,931
Why would I want
one of my Bureau Chiefs?
75
00:05:28,982 --> 00:05:31,861
Because it's a very strong circumstantial case.
76
00:05:32,003 --> 00:05:36,233
- And we know he did it.
- Oh, come on, Tracey. A jury won't know that.
77
00:05:36,354 --> 00:05:39,589
Are you absolutely certain there's no way
we can get the blood in?
78
00:05:39,624 --> 00:05:44,530
The people at the lab told me categorically
that DeDe Blaylock's blood was in the rental car,
79
00:05:44,686 --> 00:05:48,738
but couldn't swear under oath
to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty.
80
00:05:48,789 --> 00:05:50,780
Exactly what they said
a year and a half ago.
81
00:05:50,851 --> 00:05:53,659
It's circumstantial, but the
circumstances are compelling.
82
00:05:53,694 --> 00:05:55,081
Another circumstance.
83
00:05:55,166 --> 00:05:59,076
Her mother found a gynecologist's
business card in one of her coats.
84
00:05:59,076 --> 00:06:01,920
The doctor will testify
that DeDe Blaylock was pregnant.
85
00:06:02,133 --> 00:06:05,403
Will this doctor testify
that Kurt Lascher was the father?
86
00:06:11,333 --> 00:06:13,928
Well, let's see if we can even indict this jerk.
87
00:06:14,746 --> 00:06:17,447
Has he indicated he wants
to testify before the Grand Jury?
88
00:06:17,938 --> 00:06:21,137
Kelly gave Behrens a 190 50
at the arraignment.
89
00:06:21,172 --> 00:06:23,803
My guess? Behrens will say
that Lascher is going to.
90
00:06:23,853 --> 00:06:26,661
- I'll notice him to appear.
- You'll miss the date, you'll reschedule.
91
00:06:26,697 --> 00:06:28,616
Lascher'll be sick,
you'll get the indictment.
92
00:06:28,652 --> 00:06:30,465
Which sets up a motion to dismiss...
93
00:06:30,536 --> 00:06:34,730
... for failure to give Lascher an adequate
opportunity to testify before the GJ.
94
00:06:34,724 --> 00:06:36,821
A case this big,
some judges might give it to them.
95
00:06:36,893 --> 00:06:38,599
It's just delaying the inevitable.
96
00:06:38,634 --> 00:06:41,442
Since when is anything
inevitable with the law?
97
00:06:45,153 --> 00:06:46,931
Delay? That's it?
98
00:06:47,108 --> 00:06:48,779
- Delay?
- Kurt.
99
00:06:48,850 --> 00:06:52,582
Delay is a guilty man's best friend.
100
00:06:52,612 --> 00:06:55,278
Don't you ever sit in judgment of me.
101
00:06:55,384 --> 00:06:58,655
It's not my job. I'm your lawyer.
You ask, and I'll answer.
102
00:06:58,690 --> 00:07:00,752
Take five, people.
103
00:07:03,930 --> 00:07:06,560
Why did the little bitch get pregnant?
104
00:07:09,297 --> 00:07:10,257
Slate myself?
105
00:07:11,003 --> 00:07:12,781
DeDe Blaylock.
106
00:07:12,881 --> 00:07:14,658
She was just chasing the dream.
107
00:07:15,192 --> 00:07:19,031
- Once Lascher started sniffing around...
- Yeah, she was in love, he was in lust.
108
00:07:19,066 --> 00:07:21,163
Tracey Kibre's got a hard-on for Lascher.
109
00:07:21,249 --> 00:07:23,381
Kibre. I've never had a case with her.
110
00:07:23,452 --> 00:07:26,403
Yeah, she's tough, smart.
Hates to lose.
111
00:07:26,595 --> 00:07:28,585
I'm telling you,
I wouldn't want her after my ass.
112
00:07:28,621 --> 00:07:30,576
- I would have kept my mouth shut about...
- You seen enough?
113
00:07:30,627 --> 00:07:31,586
Yeah.
114
00:07:32,973 --> 00:07:36,349
- Anyways, it's not our problem.
- Oh? What is our problem?
115
00:07:36,470 --> 00:07:38,781
To make sure Kibre's got
all the evidence that's there,
116
00:07:38,852 --> 00:07:41,411
re-interview everybody
the homicide detectives talked to,
117
00:07:41,482 --> 00:07:42,655
go over all the paperwork.
118
00:07:42,655 --> 00:07:44,610
Yeah, see if the precinct guys screwed up.
119
00:07:44,646 --> 00:07:46,316
Yeah, it happens.
120
00:07:47,412 --> 00:07:51,820
You know, Lenny, I was a precinct detective
before I got shot five times.
121
00:07:51,927 --> 00:07:54,450
So if it wasn't for this squad,
I'd be on permanent disability.
122
00:07:54,486 --> 00:07:57,081
- I'd be retired.
- So don't kick a gift horse in the mouth.
123
00:07:57,152 --> 00:08:00,280
Well, it helps pay the alimony.
So who's up first?
124
00:08:00,294 --> 00:08:02,996
Vic's roommate. Karen Masters.
125
00:08:03,544 --> 00:08:08,200
You have any idea how many sessions
it took for me to get through this?
126
00:08:08,236 --> 00:08:11,115
- Excuse me?
- With my shrink.
127
00:08:11,641 --> 00:08:14,876
Your pregnant best friend goes out to dinner
and she never comes back?
128
00:08:16,156 --> 00:08:17,897
Some new evidence has come up.
129
00:08:19,817 --> 00:08:22,198
- And?
- D.A.'s going to the Grand Jury.
130
00:08:22,249 --> 00:08:23,706
They'd like you to testify.
131
00:08:23,792 --> 00:08:27,169
Whoa, nobody ever said
anything about testifying.
132
00:08:27,204 --> 00:08:28,946
Hey, wait a minute?
Are you an actress?
133
00:08:29,728 --> 00:08:33,211
- Only when I'm not being a paralegal.
- Yeah, I've seen you in a commercial.
134
00:08:33,830 --> 00:08:35,252
You saw my Land Rover?
135
00:08:35,323 --> 00:08:37,598
I knew it was some kind of car.
Which one?
136
00:08:37,633 --> 00:08:40,477
- But you were great.
- You want to see my reel?
137
00:08:41,274 --> 00:08:42,696
- I'm just kidding.
- Hey.
138
00:08:42,767 --> 00:08:47,104
I know you're nervous about testifying,
but Grand Jury testimony is sealed.
139
00:08:47,169 --> 00:08:49,337
Nobody in the business
will ever find out.
140
00:08:49,408 --> 00:08:50,581
Kurt Lascher will.
141
00:08:53,105 --> 00:08:55,486
I'm gonna have to think about this.
142
00:09:00,773 --> 00:09:03,794
You guessing she's an actress,
that's a no-brainer.
143
00:09:03,972 --> 00:09:06,389
You saw a damn commercial
and you remembered her face?
144
00:09:06,380 --> 00:09:10,057
No, I got TiVo. You push the magic button,
there's no commercials.
145
00:09:10,832 --> 00:09:14,527
- Who's next?
- Maitre d' of the restaurant where they ate.
146
00:09:18,111 --> 00:09:20,469
And Lascher's been
a regular here how long?
147
00:09:20,533 --> 00:09:22,310
Since you were walking a beat.
148
00:09:22,381 --> 00:09:24,052
Twice a week, sometimes more.
149
00:09:24,330 --> 00:09:28,205
What about women?
Two a week, sometimes more.
150
00:09:28,347 --> 00:09:33,110
- What about this woman?
- I figured this was about DeDe Blaylock.
151
00:09:33,217 --> 00:09:34,461
Nice girl.
152
00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:36,558
Fell in love with Lascher.
153
00:09:36,729 --> 00:09:40,177
- Not a smart thing to do.
- So she came in more than once?
154
00:09:40,248 --> 00:09:42,878
Once a week for three or four months.
155
00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:45,224
She used to tell me this was their place.
156
00:09:45,473 --> 00:09:46,895
Delusional.
157
00:09:47,088 --> 00:09:51,495
he Homicide guys came around two or three times
after she disappeared, but then nothing happened.
158
00:09:51,616 --> 00:09:54,744
- What's going on?
- The D.A.'s taking this to the Grand Jury.
159
00:09:54,851 --> 00:09:57,766
- You're going to have to testify.
- Oh, great.
160
00:09:57,852 --> 00:10:00,838
Why don't you take us through what
happened the last time she was here?
161
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:03,696
- The night she disappeared?
- Yeah, the night she disappeared.
162
00:10:03,802 --> 00:10:07,392
Well, they seemed happy.
Lascher had a couple of vodkas,
163
00:10:07,535 --> 00:10:12,440
and then he ordered a magnum of Cristal.
She said they had something to celebrate.
164
00:10:13,038 --> 00:10:15,953
They had a magnum?
They drink the whole thing?
165
00:10:16,059 --> 00:10:19,472
She just sipped at one glass,
but he turned it into a dead soldier.
166
00:10:19,507 --> 00:10:22,564
- He get smashed?
- Lascher never got smashed.
167
00:10:22,635 --> 00:10:25,372
Check that. He never looked smashed.
168
00:10:26,574 --> 00:10:28,600
He did some coke in the men's room.
169
00:10:28,671 --> 00:10:29,951
Oh, how do you know that?
170
00:10:29,986 --> 00:10:33,292
Because he's been doing coke
in the men's room ever since I've been here.
171
00:10:33,505 --> 00:10:38,802
Anyway, he came back to the table
and sent his chauffeur home,
172
00:10:38,990 --> 00:10:41,443
then tells me to get him a rental car.
173
00:10:41,585 --> 00:10:44,429
- He'd do that often?
- Try never.
174
00:10:44,762 --> 00:10:47,966
Never is an absolute.
He'll testify to never?
175
00:10:47,994 --> 00:10:51,703
In the 12 years he's been working there, he said
he never saw Lascher send his driver home.
176
00:10:51,754 --> 00:10:53,750
He didn't even know
Lascher had a license.
177
00:10:53,806 --> 00:10:56,223
And DeDe just had the one glass of champagne?
178
00:10:56,245 --> 00:10:57,846
Yeah, she didn't even finish that.
179
00:10:57,875 --> 00:11:00,095
I mean, she sure acted like
she had a bun in the oven.
180
00:11:00,151 --> 00:11:02,989
Well, based on the fact that Lascher
made his last child support payment...
181
00:11:03,045 --> 00:11:05,041
... for his illegitimate son three months ago.
182
00:11:05,064 --> 00:11:08,829
17.5% of his annual income for the last 18 years.
183
00:11:08,886 --> 00:11:11,555
A pregnancy would probably
really piss him off.
184
00:11:11,578 --> 00:11:13,321
No wonder he drank the whole magnum.
185
00:11:13,377 --> 00:11:16,103
I'm probably going to be able
to get the Grand Jury to indict,
186
00:11:16,131 --> 00:11:18,660
but when we go to trial,
we're going to need a lot more to convict.
187
00:11:18,711 --> 00:11:20,566
I want you to enhance the case.
188
00:11:21,325 --> 00:11:23,236
And welcome to the squad, Detective.
189
00:11:23,343 --> 00:11:25,704
You're one of Jack McCoy's favorite cops.
190
00:11:25,872 --> 00:11:27,727
Thanks. It's better than hanging out at the OTB.
191
00:11:33,092 --> 00:11:34,216
You're really worried.
192
00:11:35,790 --> 00:11:36,970
I'm always worried.
193
00:11:40,723 --> 00:11:43,196
They were dating for about
six or seven months.
194
00:11:44,545 --> 00:11:46,484
I'm not quite sure
how long they were going out,
195
00:11:46,512 --> 00:11:48,648
because she didn't tell me
when they first got together.
196
00:11:48,727 --> 00:11:50,947
- And why was that?
- It was Kurt Lascher.
197
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,123
- He's notorious.
- Notorious.
198
00:11:54,258 --> 00:11:55,326
For what?
199
00:11:56,394 --> 00:11:58,755
Okay. How's this?
200
00:11:58,755 --> 00:12:01,368
He's also 33 years older than DeDe.
201
00:12:02,970 --> 00:12:04,515
I knew she was gonna get hurt.
202
00:12:04,532 --> 00:12:06,331
I didn't think she was gonna get killed.
203
00:12:08,804 --> 00:12:11,249
What did you say to her
when she told you she was pregnant?
204
00:12:11,412 --> 00:12:13,661
That I would go with her for the abortion.
205
00:12:13,885 --> 00:12:17,314
- And what was her response?
- She said she was having the baby.
206
00:12:17,646 --> 00:12:19,978
- Was she upset?
- She was ecstatic.
207
00:12:20,709 --> 00:12:22,452
She said they'd get married.
208
00:12:23,407 --> 00:12:24,391
I lost it.
209
00:12:24,863 --> 00:12:26,774
I told her she was kidding herself.
210
00:12:27,449 --> 00:12:31,074
We started... fighting,
yelling at each other.
211
00:12:31,575 --> 00:12:32,586
I left.
212
00:12:34,469 --> 00:12:35,734
I never saw her again.
213
00:12:37,021 --> 00:12:38,623
Thank you, Karen.
214
00:12:39,354 --> 00:12:40,422
Questions?
215
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,171
Mr. Duzshinsky?
216
00:12:43,227 --> 00:12:48,960
Did she say whether she had told Lascher
how many other men she had slept with?
217
00:12:49,292 --> 00:12:50,079
What?
218
00:12:50,669 --> 00:12:51,484
In her life?
219
00:12:51,540 --> 00:12:53,844
No, no, no.
The week she disappeared.
220
00:12:53,979 --> 00:12:55,777
She wasn't sleeping with anyone else.
221
00:12:55,862 --> 00:12:58,363
Oh, you know?
What, you're a psychic too?
222
00:12:59,037 --> 00:13:00,330
She's an actress.
223
00:13:07,733 --> 00:13:10,291
No wonder Russians hate jury trials.
224
00:13:10,628 --> 00:13:14,084
Can you imagine 12 Duzshinskys
trying to reach a unanimous verdict?
225
00:13:15,771 --> 00:13:16,979
Here it is.
226
00:13:19,248 --> 00:13:20,063
Thank you.
227
00:13:24,222 --> 00:13:25,065
Murder Two.
228
00:13:31,130 --> 00:13:33,884
You want the announcement?
I got the announcement.
229
00:13:34,081 --> 00:13:37,706
So, the all thing is totally inadmissible
but is certainly against your prospect.
230
00:13:37,726 --> 00:13:38,626
Today Ethan.
231
00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:41,296
You know that Lascher
used to be an attorney.
232
00:13:41,318 --> 00:13:42,808
What do you mean used to be?
233
00:13:42,836 --> 00:13:43,763
He was disbarred.
234
00:13:43,820 --> 00:13:47,108
1968, he was working
for Texana Oil as a lawyer.
235
00:13:47,158 --> 00:13:50,080
He dropped 200 leesses
for ranchers in Oklahoma
236
00:13:50,108 --> 00:13:53,003
Every one of them had a fatal flaw
in favor of the ranchers.
237
00:13:53,155 --> 00:13:55,903
He quit Texana Oil and goes
to work for the ranchers.
238
00:13:56,288 --> 00:13:58,682
- How many of them signed up?
- 181.
239
00:13:58,768 --> 00:14:00,778
- Contingency?
- 30%.
240
00:14:00,837 --> 00:14:06,748
It cost Texana Oil $68 million dollars.
$68 million 1968 dollars.
241
00:14:08,314 --> 00:14:11,328
$22,666,000.
242
00:14:11,415 --> 00:14:14,607
$22,666,000 for him.
243
00:14:15,109 --> 00:14:19,218
Texana Oil went after his ass.
Full ethics investigation. Disbarred.
244
00:14:19,305 --> 00:14:21,197
- Why didn't they sue?
- Bad publicity.
245
00:14:21,256 --> 00:14:24,832
They made a deal. He surrendered
his license, but kept the money.
246
00:14:25,037 --> 00:14:27,047
That's how he produced his first plays.
247
00:14:27,224 --> 00:14:29,500
Lascher had been skating his whole life.
248
00:14:29,647 --> 00:14:31,863
- Is the calendar out?
- We got Anderlee.
249
00:14:31,922 --> 00:14:33,696
Amanda's my kind of judge.
250
00:14:35,115 --> 00:14:37,361
I wanna get the Texana Oil story out.
251
00:14:38,748 --> 00:14:40,019
Don't leave any prints.
252
00:14:41,437 --> 00:14:43,772
I've already drafted our motion to dismiss.
253
00:14:43,830 --> 00:14:44,510
What grounds?
254
00:14:44,599 --> 00:14:46,963
You were deprived of an opportunity to testify.
255
00:14:47,052 --> 00:14:49,742
And an assistant district attorney
plowed ahead and voted the indictment.
256
00:14:49,771 --> 00:14:51,131
All right, all right.
Best case.
257
00:14:51,247 --> 00:14:53,907
- It should buy us another 60, maybe 90 days.
- What?
258
00:14:53,966 --> 00:14:57,129
By then, it'll be almost
two years since she disappeared.
259
00:14:57,157 --> 00:14:58,339
- No, no, no, no.
- It's out of the magazines.
260
00:14:58,339 --> 00:15:00,201
- No.
- Out of sight, out of mind.
261
00:15:00,260 --> 00:15:01,916
No! News management.
262
00:15:02,032 --> 00:15:03,421
I want to get my side out.
263
00:15:03,450 --> 00:15:06,879
So you call Dominick Dunne,
invite him to dinner at... Alain Ducasse.
264
00:15:07,056 --> 00:15:09,480
- I'll buy a bottle of La Tache.
- Kurt.
265
00:15:09,538 --> 00:15:11,252
- Peter, please.
- I know how to control the press.
266
00:15:11,311 --> 00:15:14,828
The D.A.s are already talking to him.
There's a Vanity Fair article coming.
267
00:15:14,917 --> 00:15:16,779
Oh, really?
When were you planning to tell me that?
268
00:15:16,836 --> 00:15:18,462
I just found out this afternoon.
269
00:15:18,846 --> 00:15:19,969
What's the spin?
270
00:15:20,265 --> 00:15:23,013
Good-looking woman D.A.
takes on the King of Broadway.
271
00:15:26,707 --> 00:15:29,130
- You're fired.
- Excuse me?
272
00:15:32,204 --> 00:15:33,298
You're fired.
273
00:15:34,037 --> 00:15:35,219
I need a woman.
274
00:15:38,996 --> 00:15:41,893
Here's what's going on, Kurt.
The Fat Lady's about to sing.
275
00:15:42,070 --> 00:15:46,977
You're being arraigned in two days
on a criminal charge of second degree murder.
276
00:15:47,508 --> 00:15:48,749
There's going to be a trial.
277
00:15:48,838 --> 00:15:52,237
Twelve people who probably can't even afford
to go see one of your plays...
278
00:15:52,296 --> 00:15:54,985
... are gonna decide whether you go
to prison for the next 25 years.
279
00:15:55,015 --> 00:15:56,109
You're not going to let that happen.
280
00:15:57,466 --> 00:15:59,505
If I decide to take the case.
281
00:15:59,949 --> 00:16:02,106
But I'm not going to unless
I know you're gonna help me.
282
00:16:04,056 --> 00:16:05,268
I don't care if you did it.
283
00:16:06,625 --> 00:16:10,024
I'm not interested in proving you
innocent, just not guilty.
284
00:16:11,147 --> 00:16:15,522
I have to keep as many damaging facts
away from the jury as possible.
285
00:16:16,525 --> 00:16:18,860
Why am I being arraigned again?
I was arraigned.
286
00:16:18,888 --> 00:16:20,986
That was on a criminal complaint.
287
00:16:21,223 --> 00:16:26,956
This time, it's with the trial judge, who will
advise you on the indictment and the actual charges.
288
00:16:29,048 --> 00:16:30,260
You really want to know?
289
00:16:31,206 --> 00:16:32,950
Yeah, I have to know.
290
00:16:35,285 --> 00:16:36,319
I liked her.
291
00:16:37,385 --> 00:16:40,459
We had a nice short run.
292
00:16:42,233 --> 00:16:43,770
My life's an open book.
293
00:16:43,947 --> 00:16:45,957
I've been a bachelor for 19 years.
294
00:16:46,398 --> 00:16:49,915
I'm not known for my parenting
or my monogamy skills.
295
00:16:51,510 --> 00:16:55,382
She walks into the Des Artistes
and lays that on me?
296
00:16:56,121 --> 00:16:57,539
So what did you do?
297
00:16:58,719 --> 00:17:00,966
I ordered a magnum of Cristal...
298
00:17:01,232 --> 00:17:02,976
... and thought about how to make her disappear.
299
00:17:04,897 --> 00:17:06,582
You sent your driver home.
300
00:17:07,171 --> 00:17:09,300
Get a rental car delivered to the restaurant.
301
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,876
I told her we were gonna
drive up to Connecticut to celebrate.
302
00:17:13,318 --> 00:17:15,387
We got in the car and headed up.
303
00:17:17,279 --> 00:17:18,875
She wouldn't shut up.
304
00:17:21,236 --> 00:17:24,576
So I finally told her,
I'm never getting married again.
305
00:17:24,753 --> 00:17:28,743
It was nothing against her, but I'd never
subject anybody to being married to me.
306
00:17:29,393 --> 00:17:31,403
And I told her she couldn't have the baby.
307
00:17:33,233 --> 00:17:35,214
She flipped out.
308
00:17:35,509 --> 00:17:38,613
Started yelling and screaming
up the West Side Highway.
309
00:17:38,730 --> 00:17:42,129
I hit her. Knocked her head
into the windshield frame.
310
00:17:42,779 --> 00:17:44,552
And that's how the blood got in the car.
311
00:17:48,510 --> 00:17:49,603
She was out cold.
312
00:17:51,909 --> 00:17:56,224
So I drove up to northern Westchester...
313
00:17:57,818 --> 00:18:03,788
went out to Allen Watross' place because I knew
that there was a very deep abandoned well,
314
00:18:03,846 --> 00:18:06,122
and Allen was never there during the week.
315
00:18:06,743 --> 00:18:08,161
I strangled her...
316
00:18:09,134 --> 00:18:10,760
... threw the body down the well.
317
00:18:11,706 --> 00:18:12,740
Drove home.
318
00:18:14,839 --> 00:18:16,198
Nobody saw me.
319
00:18:17,261 --> 00:18:19,508
O bviously.
320
00:18:25,297 --> 00:18:26,420
Any other questions?
321
00:18:28,075 --> 00:18:29,169
Dozens.
322
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,154
Hundreds.
323
00:18:32,568 --> 00:18:33,484
Fine.
324
00:18:34,933 --> 00:18:36,144
I have one.
325
00:18:36,940 --> 00:18:38,034
How much?
326
00:18:43,353 --> 00:18:45,422
When are Briscoe and Salazar coming in?
327
00:18:45,479 --> 00:18:48,641
Tomorrow. Or the day after.
They have four more names to re-interview.
328
00:18:49,557 --> 00:18:51,626
Is it just me, or are the cadets getting younger?
329
00:18:51,745 --> 00:18:53,282
And taller.
330
00:18:58,630 --> 00:19:01,497
- Notice of change of counsel.
- Who?
331
00:19:03,002 --> 00:19:04,096
Maggie Dettweiler.
332
00:19:05,189 --> 00:19:07,347
I've heard she's good.
Is she that good?
333
00:19:07,789 --> 00:19:08,824
She's better.
334
00:19:10,154 --> 00:19:12,962
Graydon set a land speed record
for a cover story.
335
00:19:13,137 --> 00:19:14,496
I talked to Nick.
336
00:19:14,585 --> 00:19:17,984
I told him all about Brunei
and the Sultan's party girls.
337
00:19:18,071 --> 00:19:19,934
- It's all in there.
- Good.
338
00:19:19,963 --> 00:19:24,337
Unfortunately, it's the only good thing
in there for us in a 3,000-word story.
339
00:19:24,779 --> 00:19:26,582
Your quotes weren't.
340
00:19:26,936 --> 00:19:29,094
He makes you sound like Rasputin.
341
00:19:29,477 --> 00:19:33,053
You may have forgotten that his daughter
was murdered by her boyfriend.
342
00:19:35,268 --> 00:19:38,076
And that expression,
"I'd like to strangle this bitch?"
343
00:19:38,105 --> 00:19:40,765
I would lose that from my physical palette.
344
00:19:40,943 --> 00:19:44,637
You may have noticed that the judge
and both prosecutors are all bitches.
345
00:19:45,730 --> 00:19:47,355
Why do you think you're here?
346
00:19:48,565 --> 00:19:52,023
So...what's my seven-figure defense?
347
00:19:52,230 --> 00:19:54,269
This is a girl who went to Brunei twice.
348
00:19:54,299 --> 00:19:57,136
She spent nine months singing
in Japan when she was 19.
349
00:19:57,194 --> 00:19:59,677
Oh, so she's a slut.
Who knows where she is?
350
00:19:59,677 --> 00:20:01,096
If the shoe fits.
351
00:20:01,300 --> 00:20:04,729
What's the significance of the Brunei trips?
Am I missing something?
352
00:20:04,788 --> 00:20:05,911
You know about the Sultan?
353
00:20:06,384 --> 00:20:09,428
Yeah, he's what?
Like the third richest guy on the planet?
354
00:20:09,486 --> 00:20:13,328
He's also very generous to his friends.
Especially his male friends.
355
00:20:13,388 --> 00:20:15,693
He flies in young girls as party favors.
356
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,942
DeDe was there for five weeks the first time,
two months the second.
357
00:20:19,443 --> 00:20:22,044
- A lot of parties.
- And a lot of favors.
358
00:20:22,162 --> 00:20:25,029
- Is there anything else?
- Japan.
359
00:20:25,414 --> 00:20:26,685
What about Japan?
360
00:20:26,773 --> 00:20:28,783
She spent six months there
when she was 19.
361
00:20:28,958 --> 00:20:30,673
- Doing what?
- Singing.
362
00:20:31,205 --> 00:20:32,269
She's a singer?
363
00:20:32,889 --> 00:20:34,604
Not before or since.
364
00:20:34,751 --> 00:20:36,791
How come this wasn't in her file?
365
00:20:37,115 --> 00:20:39,243
- Didn't they check her passport?
- Never found it.
366
00:20:39,302 --> 00:20:40,602
And it's still valid.
367
00:20:40,661 --> 00:20:43,469
And we know she doesn't mind long flights.
368
00:20:44,324 --> 00:20:47,546
- Are you sure, counselor?
- What, that Lascher murdered her?
369
00:20:47,723 --> 00:20:49,083
That she's dead.
370
00:21:05,362 --> 00:21:08,406
Is that your "justice is blind" look?
371
00:21:08,968 --> 00:21:12,603
Oh, the voice that launched 1,000 appeals.
372
00:21:15,933 --> 00:21:17,706
What's it like working for a Republican?
373
00:21:17,824 --> 00:21:20,514
- Better than working for a killer.
- Alleged killer.
374
00:21:21,585 --> 00:21:23,831
Sticks and stones may break his balls,
375
00:21:23,890 --> 00:21:26,787
but I gotta insist on a victim to convict him.
376
00:21:28,145 --> 00:21:30,539
Necessity is the mother of invention.
377
00:21:36,506 --> 00:21:42,329
If you're talking multilogical
alternalizations of this crime,
378
00:21:42,358 --> 00:21:46,378
let's just say she didn't have
a good discriminative taste in men.
379
00:21:46,583 --> 00:21:48,770
- Any names?
- Oh, yeah.
380
00:21:51,223 --> 00:21:53,706
How about Michael Feltscher?
381
00:21:55,064 --> 00:21:57,222
How about Sean Murray?
382
00:21:58,225 --> 00:22:00,648
Road company Michael Bolton with no pipes.
383
00:22:01,092 --> 00:22:03,988
How about Matt Mandebach?
384
00:22:04,696 --> 00:22:06,322
A B-level producer.
385
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,012
But there's something else,
there's something...
386
00:22:09,130 --> 00:22:12,145
- Some actress/model.
- Oh, Amy Woodbury.
387
00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:15,600
- Disappeared without a trace.
- That's right.
388
00:22:15,629 --> 00:22:19,028
Friend of mine out in Los Angeles there,
Robbery Homicide,
389
00:22:19,087 --> 00:22:22,190
tells me that this guy Matt Mandebach...
390
00:22:22,306 --> 00:22:26,149
... was, and still is, the main suspect
in her disappearance.
391
00:22:26,296 --> 00:22:28,484
- When did they go out?
- When she got back from Japan.
392
00:22:28,512 --> 00:22:32,325
Okay. It is not worth as much
if we hand them the name...
393
00:22:32,443 --> 00:22:34,187
... as if they find it themselves.
394
00:22:34,364 --> 00:22:35,635
They already have it.
395
00:22:35,988 --> 00:22:38,589
- Name and number.
- Kibre does?
396
00:22:38,648 --> 00:22:39,505
The cops.
397
00:22:39,623 --> 00:22:43,791
When they searched my house, they found her Filofax.
She was obsessive about phone numbers.
398
00:22:44,144 --> 00:22:46,331
If she knew him, he's in there.
399
00:22:46,538 --> 00:22:48,075
Especially if he was a producer.
400
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,848
So, I'll ask for it.
401
00:22:50,467 --> 00:22:53,275
They will go through every name
in that book before they hand it over.
402
00:22:53,511 --> 00:22:54,398
Trust me.
403
00:22:55,342 --> 00:22:58,032
- You're batting 1,000.
- Excuse me?
404
00:22:58,191 --> 00:22:59,728
Your case just got worse.
405
00:22:59,787 --> 00:23:01,236
Your vic may not even be dead,
406
00:23:01,295 --> 00:23:04,783
but if she is, there's a lot better
suspect in there than Kurt Lascher.
407
00:23:04,854 --> 00:23:05,652
Who's that?
408
00:23:05,723 --> 00:23:08,738
One Matt Mandebach, who was and is...
409
00:23:08,797 --> 00:23:13,821
... the prime suspect in the disappearance
of a model named Amy Woodbury in L.A. five years ago.
410
00:23:13,987 --> 00:23:15,287
God almighty!
411
00:23:15,347 --> 00:23:17,829
He'd been dating DeDe Blaylock
right around the same time.
412
00:23:17,918 --> 00:23:22,026
Cops go to question Mandebach about
Amy Woodbury, DeDe Blaylock's in his apartment.
413
00:23:22,646 --> 00:23:24,035
It gets worse.
414
00:23:24,656 --> 00:23:26,074
Don't see how it could.
415
00:23:26,752 --> 00:23:30,299
Mandebach was in New York
when DeDe Blaylock disappeared?
416
00:23:30,358 --> 00:23:31,718
You didn't know about this guy?
417
00:23:31,777 --> 00:23:34,939
The Police assured me they'd followed up
on all the physical evidence.
418
00:23:34,967 --> 00:23:36,977
An address book isn't physical evidence?
419
00:23:37,036 --> 00:23:39,844
Let's not take our eyes off the prize.
Lascher did it.
420
00:23:39,872 --> 00:23:42,148
We know he did it.
Everything else is immaterial.
421
00:23:42,207 --> 00:23:44,157
- Exactly.
- Exactly wrong.
422
00:23:44,305 --> 00:23:45,753
Beyond a reasonable doubt.
423
00:23:45,872 --> 00:23:48,414
I think you're going to have trouble meeting that burden.
424
00:23:48,678 --> 00:23:50,925
Are you sure you don't want to reconsider this?
425
00:23:51,043 --> 00:23:52,609
We have an indictment.
426
00:23:52,725 --> 00:23:57,159
Well, an indictment doesn't mandate a trial,
especially in an election year.
427
00:23:59,581 --> 00:24:01,089
If I lose, I'll resign.
428
00:24:01,207 --> 00:24:04,872
I'm sure I'll find that very comforting
on election day when I lose.
429
00:24:08,371 --> 00:24:10,352
The Police are checking the names in the book.
430
00:24:10,411 --> 00:24:14,194
I'm just asking for additional time
so they can complete their investigation.
431
00:24:14,297 --> 00:24:17,105
You know, silly me. I was always
under the ridiculous illusion...
432
00:24:17,132 --> 00:24:19,172
... that a trial was a search for the truth.
433
00:24:19,201 --> 00:24:22,216
Oh, please, counselor.
A trial is a search for admissible evidence.
434
00:24:22,274 --> 00:24:24,520
- Your honor...
- Would you just let me rule in your favor?
435
00:24:24,579 --> 00:24:27,476
- Your honor.
- Just make a copy and give it to them.
436
00:24:27,594 --> 00:24:29,988
Isn't this what Xerox machines
were invented for?
437
00:24:30,075 --> 00:24:33,030
I really don't see how this request
can be rationnally turned out.
438
00:24:33,060 --> 00:24:34,065
hank you, Your Honor.
439
00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:37,316
Okay, any other alarms or diversions?
440
00:24:38,379 --> 00:24:41,039
Great.
Let's set a date for jury selection.
441
00:24:42,514 --> 00:24:44,731
It's $150,000 through the verdict,
442
00:24:44,820 --> 00:24:46,741
$100,000 bonus for an acquittal,
443
00:24:46,830 --> 00:24:48,101
$50,000 for a hung jury.
444
00:24:48,396 --> 00:24:49,667
Is he kidding?
445
00:24:50,789 --> 00:24:53,449
And if you're not kidding,
you must be insane.
446
00:24:53,479 --> 00:24:55,784
A quarter of a million dollars
for a jury consultant?
447
00:24:55,843 --> 00:24:58,474
- It's a simple cost/benefit analysis.
- Oh, really?
448
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:01,427
$250,000.
449
00:25:02,373 --> 00:25:03,555
25 years to life.
450
00:25:07,219 --> 00:25:09,022
Who do you think your ideal juror is?
451
00:25:13,601 --> 00:25:17,118
Educated. Upper middle class. Older.
452
00:25:17,442 --> 00:25:18,772
A theatergoer.
453
00:25:20,132 --> 00:25:20,959
Male.
454
00:25:21,046 --> 00:25:22,819
What do you think of Mr. Lascher's profile, Lynn?
455
00:25:22,878 --> 00:25:24,208
It's 100% wrong.
456
00:25:24,297 --> 00:25:27,164
Yeah, your ideal juror is a high school graduate,
457
00:25:27,194 --> 00:25:30,740
middle-aged, middle-class, married female
who wants to be a theatergoer.
458
00:25:31,449 --> 00:25:32,424
You're trying the victim?
459
00:25:32,510 --> 00:25:37,092
Yeah, well, we'll be pointing out certain character
shortcomings of an extremely alluring...
460
00:25:37,151 --> 00:25:41,141
... missing alleged victim,
who could be anywhere in the world.
461
00:25:41,228 --> 00:25:43,859
Exactly, and who do
middle-aged women despise?
462
00:25:43,859 --> 00:25:46,312
Pretty girls in their 20s
who go out with older men.
463
00:25:51,980 --> 00:25:55,467
Are you familiar with the term
May/December romance, Mrs. Phelps?
464
00:25:55,615 --> 00:25:58,216
- Of course.
- And how do you feel about them?
465
00:25:58,337 --> 00:26:01,263
I'm sorry. Are you asking me
whether I want to have one?
466
00:26:01,559 --> 00:26:06,820
No, I'm just, uh, asking you how you feel
about them in the abstract.
467
00:26:06,877 --> 00:26:10,867
Relationships are relationships.
Whatever makes people happy is fine with me.
468
00:26:11,131 --> 00:26:17,279
So you would have absolutely no qualms about
an older man going out with a much younger woman?
469
00:26:17,575 --> 00:26:19,378
It takes two to tango.
470
00:26:19,819 --> 00:26:22,302
I think Ms. Kibre agrees with me, watch.
471
00:26:22,420 --> 00:26:23,247
Thank you.
472
00:26:24,637 --> 00:26:25,642
And she's gone.
473
00:26:25,730 --> 00:26:28,331
The people are going to excuse
Mrs. Phelps, Your Honor.
474
00:26:29,424 --> 00:26:33,975
Jurors one, two, three, six, seven,
475
00:26:34,003 --> 00:26:37,993
eight, nine, ten, twelve, are excused.
476
00:26:38,081 --> 00:26:39,530
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
477
00:26:43,282 --> 00:26:44,760
Sidebar, Your Honor.
478
00:26:46,058 --> 00:26:50,433
It took Mr. Stotti less than an hour
after Mr. Lascher....
479
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,658
... recognized Mr. Mandebach's name
to reach a senior Commander of the LAPD,
480
00:26:54,717 --> 00:26:59,653
who informed him that Mr. Mandebach was the prime
suspect in another missing persons case.
481
00:27:00,065 --> 00:27:03,611
- The victim is also an actress.
- Your honor, I don't see what...
482
00:27:04,999 --> 00:27:06,211
Go on, Ms. Dettweiler.
483
00:27:06,270 --> 00:27:10,290
The fact is, is that he is a much more
likely suspect than Mr. Lascher,
484
00:27:10,317 --> 00:27:12,564
being that he did live,
and still does live,
485
00:27:12,652 --> 00:27:15,667
two blocks away from the alleged
victim's apartment.
486
00:27:15,815 --> 00:27:16,938
Is this true?
487
00:27:18,001 --> 00:27:20,868
I have no idea where
Mr. Mandebach lives, Your Honor.
488
00:27:20,895 --> 00:27:25,476
Excuse me, I'd say that could be
the definition of a non-responsive response.
489
00:27:25,536 --> 00:27:29,319
- Of course, they know about Mandebach.
- Sit down, Mr. Lascher.
490
00:27:33,150 --> 00:27:37,259
I must say this doesn't seem to be
the NYPD's finest hour, Ms. Kibre.
491
00:27:39,335 --> 00:27:43,828
I can't believe I missed a damn Filofax
on the evidence locker list.
492
00:27:43,974 --> 00:27:46,427
There were 219 items on that list.
493
00:27:46,486 --> 00:27:47,521
I missed it too.
494
00:27:48,437 --> 00:27:50,122
She's here with pictures.
495
00:27:50,179 --> 00:27:51,952
I just had to thank you...
496
00:27:52,011 --> 00:27:54,553
... for finally getting that
bastard in front of a jury.
497
00:27:54,582 --> 00:27:57,123
It's not going to be easy to convict him.
I hope you know that.
498
00:27:57,183 --> 00:27:59,133
Well, he's guilty. They'll see that.
499
00:27:59,192 --> 00:28:03,153
Mrs. Blaylock, did DeDe ever mention
a man named Matt Mandebach?
500
00:28:03,771 --> 00:28:05,101
No, I never heard of him.
501
00:28:05,338 --> 00:28:06,964
DeDe told me everything.
502
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,483
I just wanted you to remember.
503
00:28:11,744 --> 00:28:13,744
This is what he took.
504
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,473
Kurt Lascher did not
take DeDe Blaylock's life.
505
00:28:34,053 --> 00:28:38,082
The last time he saw her, they shared
a wonderful meal and a bottle of champagne.
506
00:28:39,267 --> 00:28:43,759
In fact, the state will be unable to prove
that she's even dead.
507
00:28:43,786 --> 00:28:48,916
All they will be able to tell you is that
no one has seen her for the last 18 months.
508
00:28:49,928 --> 00:28:50,884
But,
509
00:28:51,928 --> 00:28:54,565
if DeDe Blaylock is dead,
510
00:28:54,967 --> 00:28:59,779
the state has had information
about another suspect,
511
00:29:00,127 --> 00:29:04,474
a much more compelling suspect,
who was never even investigated.
512
00:29:05,805 --> 00:29:07,515
Thank you for your attention.
513
00:29:08,498 --> 00:29:10,295
How did it play?
514
00:29:10,353 --> 00:29:14,063
Well, they're not crazy about
the alternative killer theory.
515
00:29:17,479 --> 00:29:21,276
The state has had information
about another suspect,
516
00:29:21,303 --> 00:29:25,129
a much more compelling suspect,
who was never even investigated.
517
00:29:26,810 --> 00:29:28,752
Oh, I guess I'm taking that out of the opening.
518
00:29:28,778 --> 00:29:30,720
But look at this.
519
00:29:32,252 --> 00:29:37,702
As a matter of fact, the state will be unable
to prove that she's even dead.
520
00:29:37,731 --> 00:29:41,962
All they'll be able to tell you is that
no one's seen her for the last 18 months.
521
00:29:44,472 --> 00:29:48,501
I'd open with, ladies and gentlemen,
where's the body?
522
00:29:49,692 --> 00:29:53,373
Ladies and gentlemen,
where's the body?
523
00:30:13,998 --> 00:30:15,331
Arise.
524
00:30:15,969 --> 00:30:21,505
Give the attention that you shall be heard.
The Honorable Judge Amanda Anderlee presiding.
525
00:30:22,836 --> 00:30:26,836
No...to my personal knowledge,
Mr. Lascher never had...
526
00:30:26,865 --> 00:30:29,561
... a rental car dropped off at the restaurant.
527
00:30:29,586 --> 00:30:30,658
Thank you.
528
00:30:30,687 --> 00:30:32,861
Oh, sorry. One last thing.
529
00:30:34,137 --> 00:30:36,658
Do you think Kurt Lascher
is a dangerous misogynist?
530
00:30:36,684 --> 00:30:39,496
Objection, Your Honor.
Calls for an opinion.
531
00:30:39,641 --> 00:30:40,539
Withdrawn.
532
00:30:41,641 --> 00:30:42,626
Your witness.
533
00:30:44,653 --> 00:30:47,232
How long has Mr. Lascher been
coming to your restaurant?
534
00:30:48,243 --> 00:30:52,852
Apparently for more than 20 years,
but I've only been there the past 12.
535
00:30:52,939 --> 00:30:55,692
Have you seen him with
other women over those years?
536
00:30:55,805 --> 00:30:57,052
Many other women.
537
00:30:57,486 --> 00:31:01,197
And has Mr. Lascher displayed
a variety of moods with those other women?
538
00:31:01,370 --> 00:31:02,791
What was the 911?
539
00:31:02,875 --> 00:31:05,194
One of our witnesses
is changing her story.
540
00:31:05,223 --> 00:31:06,556
What? Who?
541
00:31:07,509 --> 00:31:09,103
Briscoe and Salazar are on it.
542
00:31:09,190 --> 00:31:11,480
Have you ever seen him get angry
with any of those women?
543
00:31:11,625 --> 00:31:13,480
- Yeah.
- Did he kill any of them?
544
00:31:13,712 --> 00:31:15,335
Objection!
545
00:31:16,114 --> 00:31:17,071
Withdrawn.
546
00:31:17,419 --> 00:31:22,230
Since it's after 4:00, we'll resume
at 9:00 on Monday morning.
547
00:31:25,938 --> 00:31:27,387
I wanna see your badges!
548
00:31:27,499 --> 00:31:29,470
We don't need no stinking badges.
549
00:31:29,586 --> 00:31:30,919
What? What did you say?
550
00:31:31,006 --> 00:31:33,992
I said, yeah, people need to see our badges.
551
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,786
I told that D.A. ... what's her name, Gaffney?
552
00:31:38,218 --> 00:31:42,537
I told her I had to speak to her
about changing my testimony.
553
00:31:42,624 --> 00:31:45,725
Last year, you told the detectives
why you left the show.
554
00:31:45,808 --> 00:31:48,156
That stuff about Lascher
slapping you around.
555
00:31:48,272 --> 00:31:50,678
That's why I have to talk to the D.A.s.
556
00:31:50,968 --> 00:31:52,301
Talk about what?
557
00:31:53,747 --> 00:31:56,095
I lied to those cops last year.
558
00:31:57,110 --> 00:31:58,762
But I can't lie under oath.
559
00:31:59,745 --> 00:32:02,034
You think there's any way
to get her new story in?
560
00:32:02,092 --> 00:32:02,991
Not on direct.
561
00:32:03,078 --> 00:32:06,324
It's beyond prejudicial.
It'll probably get him a mistrial.
562
00:32:06,639 --> 00:32:09,828
But if we got Maggie Dettweiler
to ask the wrong question...
563
00:32:09,912 --> 00:32:12,984
Even if it got in, Anderlee would
instruct the jury to ignore it.
564
00:32:12,984 --> 00:32:14,868
- It's completely irrelevant.
- Irrelevant?
565
00:32:15,332 --> 00:32:17,419
It's the definition of irrelevance.
566
00:32:17,937 --> 00:32:22,488
It's pretty hard to unring a bell that loud,
no matter how the judge instructs the jury.
567
00:32:23,441 --> 00:32:27,093
I've got to figure out how to start pushing
Maggie Dettweiler's buttons.
568
00:32:28,253 --> 00:32:28,977
What?
569
00:32:29,033 --> 00:32:31,728
Dettweiler will never ask questions
she doesn't know the answer to.
570
00:32:32,250 --> 00:32:34,946
Any lawyer can be made to ask
the wrong question.
571
00:32:36,391 --> 00:32:39,579
I had appeared in eight Broadway shows,
three national touring companies,
572
00:32:39,666 --> 00:32:42,478
and six dinner theaters,
where I started in the chorus,
573
00:32:42,533 --> 00:32:45,171
- and then I was a featured dancer...
- Let's just keep it a little simpler.
574
00:32:45,226 --> 00:32:49,226
I'll say, Ms. Sterba,
you were a veteran...
575
00:32:49,313 --> 00:32:54,211
... stage dancer and singer when Kurt Lascher
asked you to play the lead in Separate Beds,
576
00:32:54,294 --> 00:32:58,207
but you had limited
acting experience.
577
00:32:58,236 --> 00:33:01,251
Is that correct?
And then you'll just say, yes.
578
00:33:01,451 --> 00:33:05,886
And then I'll say, well,
why do you think he did that?
579
00:33:05,912 --> 00:33:08,173
Because we were having an affair?
580
00:33:08,202 --> 00:33:10,260
Just make it a statement, not a question.
581
00:33:10,492 --> 00:33:14,260
You should lower your eyes a little, you know,
try to look a little embarrassed.
582
00:33:15,154 --> 00:33:16,169
Yeah. Okay.
583
00:33:16,311 --> 00:33:21,181
Then I'll say, "Well, that seems like
a huge career move for you.
584
00:33:21,267 --> 00:33:23,673
"Why did you leave the show before it opened?"
585
00:33:23,731 --> 00:33:27,152
- You want the whole story?
- No, no, no.
586
00:33:27,207 --> 00:33:31,873
How about, he terrorized me
during rehearsals, so I left?
587
00:33:31,898 --> 00:33:34,565
He terrorized me
during rehearsals, so I left.
588
00:33:34,594 --> 00:33:36,246
Okay. Just stop there.
589
00:33:36,417 --> 00:33:39,519
And then you look at the jury
and tell what he said to you.
590
00:33:39,548 --> 00:33:40,736
- In rehearsal?
- No!
591
00:33:40,939 --> 00:33:42,852
Don't say anything about that.
592
00:33:43,055 --> 00:33:44,504
Just the threat.
593
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:46,678
The way we discussed.
594
00:33:46,849 --> 00:33:50,154
He terrorized me during
rehearsals, so I left.
595
00:33:50,385 --> 00:33:52,298
And then, I look at the jury.
596
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,773
Kurt Lascher is a monster.
597
00:33:59,559 --> 00:34:02,283
Kurt Lascher is a monster.
598
00:34:02,602 --> 00:34:05,211
One night he told me that
he could make me disappear.
599
00:34:05,559 --> 00:34:06,486
Like that!
600
00:34:08,372 --> 00:34:09,618
Thank you, Ms. Sterba.
601
00:34:11,155 --> 00:34:12,140
Your witness.
602
00:34:14,891 --> 00:34:19,992
You've testified that you left Separate Beds
because Kurt Lascher terrorized you?
603
00:34:20,047 --> 00:34:21,294
Among other reasons.
604
00:34:21,323 --> 00:34:22,453
Let's talk about those other reasons.
605
00:34:22,511 --> 00:34:26,975
Isn't it true that you left because
Mr. Lascher ended your affair?
606
00:34:27,812 --> 00:34:29,290
- No.
- No?
607
00:34:29,928 --> 00:34:33,464
No...it was something that he told me...
608
00:34:33,577 --> 00:34:37,519
that he told me that was so disturbing
that it made it impossible for me to continue.
609
00:34:38,910 --> 00:34:40,070
A moment, Your Honor.
610
00:34:46,559 --> 00:34:48,907
Am I gonna hear something here
that's gonna hurt us?
611
00:34:51,019 --> 00:34:54,816
I called her a stupid [bleep].
Sue me.
612
00:35:00,231 --> 00:35:05,217
So your testimony is that
you threw your whole career away...
613
00:35:05,271 --> 00:35:08,517
... because Mr. Lascher, in a moment of anger,
614
00:35:08,865 --> 00:35:11,850
made a disparaging personal comment?
615
00:35:11,992 --> 00:35:15,036
No. He did that every day.
616
00:35:17,558 --> 00:35:19,123
The day I quit,
617
00:35:20,714 --> 00:35:23,642
I was playing a woman who had
been beaten by her husband.
618
00:35:23,696 --> 00:35:26,276
- We were rehearsing a scene.
- You bitch!
619
00:35:26,362 --> 00:35:27,928
Mr. Lascher.
620
00:35:28,447 --> 00:35:33,142
Kurt told me that I should make the audience
understand that I still loved my husband.
621
00:35:33,229 --> 00:35:36,244
He said it was like when you strangle a dog.
622
00:35:36,299 --> 00:35:36,907
Your honor!
623
00:35:36,936 --> 00:35:39,893
Just before they die,
they fall in love with you.
624
00:35:40,444 --> 00:35:43,284
They look into your eyes and wag their tail.
625
00:35:43,425 --> 00:35:46,295
Objection, Your Honor. Sidebar.
626
00:35:46,353 --> 00:35:47,251
Overruled.
627
00:35:47,309 --> 00:35:49,831
You can hardly object to the answer
to your own question.
628
00:35:49,857 --> 00:35:52,350
- Then I move for a mistrial.
- Motion denied.
629
00:35:53,072 --> 00:35:57,014
But I will instruct the jury to disregard
Ms. Sterba's last statement.
630
00:35:57,072 --> 00:36:01,536
You will not refer to the statement in any way
or let it color your deliberations.
631
00:36:03,126 --> 00:36:05,097
The people rest, Your Honor.
632
00:36:08,978 --> 00:36:12,804
Pissed-off voice message from Briscoe.
They're 11 years back and there's nothing.
633
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,369
Well, call him and remind him
I said to go back 15 and do it faster.
634
00:36:16,627 --> 00:36:18,482
No, it would be a huge mistake.
635
00:36:18,508 --> 00:36:20,710
- I agree.
- And I have no choice.
636
00:36:20,739 --> 00:36:24,044
It's exactly what Kibre wants.
She could go anywhere on cross.
637
00:36:24,128 --> 00:36:26,795
Just let me explain the dog thing.
638
00:36:26,882 --> 00:36:29,606
I would not like to be convicted just because...
639
00:36:29,664 --> 00:36:34,070
I wanted to manipulate a performance
out of an untalented chorus girl!
640
00:36:34,096 --> 00:36:35,574
She was pretty compelling on the stand.
641
00:36:35,806 --> 00:36:39,342
Yeah, I would lose
the untalented chorus girl descriptor.
642
00:36:42,638 --> 00:36:45,595
You may be a ball buster,
but when you're right, you're right.
643
00:36:45,682 --> 00:36:49,479
14 years, three months.
You're not only right, you're lucky too.
644
00:36:51,217 --> 00:36:52,724
Lascher the dog lover.
645
00:36:58,550 --> 00:37:00,347
I've loved dogs my entire life.
646
00:37:01,194 --> 00:37:02,180
I grew up with them.
647
00:37:02,962 --> 00:37:08,064
The idea that I would hurt a dog,
or any animal, is ludicrous.
648
00:37:08,135 --> 00:37:10,888
But you did say what Ms. Sterba said you said?
649
00:37:10,946 --> 00:37:14,193
Yes, I did. I was giving her direction.
650
00:37:15,381 --> 00:37:16,830
Penny Sterba is...
651
00:37:18,421 --> 00:37:20,798
... great in bed,
but she's a lousy actress.
652
00:37:20,856 --> 00:37:23,667
I would have said anything
to get a performance out of her.
653
00:37:23,867 --> 00:37:29,490
But an inexperienced actress
confused direction with reality.
654
00:37:29,632 --> 00:37:31,024
Thank you, Mr. Lascher.
655
00:37:32,386 --> 00:37:33,430
Your witness.
656
00:37:37,745 --> 00:37:39,716
Let's talk some mores about dogs.
657
00:37:39,745 --> 00:37:41,658
Objection. Irrelevant.
658
00:37:41,945 --> 00:37:43,684
Ms. Dettweiler opened the door, Your Honor.
659
00:37:43,829 --> 00:37:44,843
Overruled.
660
00:37:46,292 --> 00:37:50,350
You've testified that
you're a...true dog lover.
661
00:37:51,217 --> 00:37:54,608
- My entire life.
- Then why do you kill them?
662
00:37:57,122 --> 00:37:58,137
That's ridiculous.
663
00:38:00,166 --> 00:38:03,383
I'd like this entered as People's 67,
664
00:38:03,557 --> 00:38:06,775
but I'd like Mr. Lascher
to verify its accuracy.
665
00:38:06,833 --> 00:38:07,963
I'd like to see that.
666
00:38:07,961 --> 00:38:09,758
So would I. Sidebar.
667
00:38:24,937 --> 00:38:30,502
This compounds other irrelevant and immaterial
material already entered into evidence.
668
00:38:30,502 --> 00:38:32,473
Again, Your Honor,
I must strenuously object.
669
00:38:32,556 --> 00:38:34,701
And again, I must overrule.
670
00:38:35,571 --> 00:38:37,774
Your client has no one
to blame but himself.
671
00:38:37,774 --> 00:38:39,571
Step back.
You may approach.
672
00:38:44,850 --> 00:38:47,081
Do you recognize those documents, sir?
673
00:38:47,603 --> 00:38:49,197
Oh, for God's sake.
674
00:38:49,284 --> 00:38:51,023
I take it that's a yes?
675
00:38:51,445 --> 00:38:53,242
This is completely out of context.
676
00:38:53,387 --> 00:38:58,721
Let the record show that the defendant
is looking at a bill for $150...
677
00:38:58,771 --> 00:39:06,578
... for putting three dogs to sleep
on May 4, 1989 in Mount Kisco, New York.
678
00:39:11,899 --> 00:39:15,465
I had just moved back to the city.
These were country dogs.
679
00:39:15,665 --> 00:39:17,723
They would have had to have
been walked on leashes!
680
00:39:17,781 --> 00:39:19,056
So you killed them
681
00:39:24,281 --> 00:39:29,498
One might conclude that one of your
problem-solving solutions is killing things.
682
00:39:29,513 --> 00:39:32,383
Is there a question in there, Your Honor?
683
00:39:32,496 --> 00:39:37,191
Your honor, I have no more questions
for New York's favorite animal lover.
684
00:39:48,964 --> 00:39:51,804
Not guilty. Guilty.
685
00:39:52,602 --> 00:39:54,979
Guilty. Not guilty.
686
00:39:55,037 --> 00:39:57,037
Eight guilty, four not guilty.
687
00:39:57,442 --> 00:39:59,037
This is ridiculous.
688
00:39:59,353 --> 00:40:03,556
Eight of you want to convict somebody
of murder for euthanizing his own dogs?
689
00:40:03,697 --> 00:40:07,957
Me? I'd like to give him a medal
for keeping my shoes free of all dog crap.
690
00:40:08,305 --> 00:40:11,697
I can't get the image of him
strangling a dog out of my head.
691
00:40:11,723 --> 00:40:13,694
He said he was just trying
to elicit a performance.
692
00:40:13,752 --> 00:40:16,766
Please! Who's kidding who, huh?
This guy's a sociopath.
693
00:40:17,201 --> 00:40:19,491
And we all read that article in Vanity Fair.
694
00:40:20,676 --> 00:40:23,314
State police called an hour ago.
695
00:40:23,546 --> 00:40:25,285
But they found the body a week ago?
696
00:40:25,339 --> 00:40:28,383
Six days ago.
Home inspection of a mortgage company.
697
00:40:28,528 --> 00:40:30,441
At the bottom of the well on an estate.
698
00:40:30,757 --> 00:40:32,438
Are they sure it's DeDe Blaylock?
699
00:40:32,583 --> 00:40:35,394
The dental records match.
We'll have the DNA in the morning.
700
00:40:35,452 --> 00:40:37,510
Four days late and a dollar short.
701
00:40:37,797 --> 00:40:39,652
It doesn't make any difference.
702
00:40:39,710 --> 00:40:42,348
It's in the hands of a jury.
If they acquit, he walks.
703
00:40:42,489 --> 00:40:45,127
- What, your jury's still out?
- Five days.
704
00:40:45,185 --> 00:40:48,373
Well they, like juries
all over the tri-state area,
705
00:40:48,431 --> 00:40:51,011
will be rendering verdicts
tonight and tomorrow.
706
00:40:51,646 --> 00:40:54,167
- You know this?
- I know this.
707
00:40:54,283 --> 00:40:58,370
- How?
- Because playoffs start tomorrow.
708
00:41:02,309 --> 00:41:03,788
Not guilty.
709
00:41:05,436 --> 00:41:07,755
Guilty. Guilty.
710
00:41:07,813 --> 00:41:09,813
11 to one.
711
00:41:12,650 --> 00:41:15,027
Please, you know in your heart, he killed her.
712
00:41:15,143 --> 00:41:16,708
I'm not even sure she's dead.
713
00:41:17,314 --> 00:41:19,285
She could be in Japan. Or Brunei.
714
00:41:19,310 --> 00:41:23,948
She's dead. She's dead, she's dead,
and Kurt Lascher did it!
715
00:41:24,731 --> 00:41:26,934
Fine...let's just pick this up in the morning.
716
00:41:26,989 --> 00:41:29,887
No, no, no. Let's stay here
until we get this settled.
717
00:41:37,563 --> 00:41:40,345
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
have you reached a verdict?
718
00:41:40,838 --> 00:41:42,085
We have, Your Honor.
719
00:41:43,157 --> 00:41:44,200
How say you?
720
00:41:46,486 --> 00:41:49,820
We find the defendant,
Kurt Lascher, guilty.
721
00:42:25,424 --> 00:42:26,786
Never saw it coming.
722
00:42:26,815 --> 00:42:27,829
Thank God.
723
00:42:27,913 --> 00:42:31,740
- That was a buzzer beater.
- That was a three-point buzzer beater.
724
00:42:31,827 --> 00:42:35,392
You convicted a guy
on cruelty to animals, not evidence.
725
00:42:35,765 --> 00:42:36,982
Life's a bitch.
726
00:42:36,982 --> 00:42:41,011
Yeah, and some days the one
holding the scales is blind, deaf, and dumb.
727
00:42:41,061 --> 00:42:45,611
