>> Fallon: STEVEN, HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT?

HOW COULD YOU SAY WHAT YOU DID IN THERE -- THAT I LIED?

>> Steven: IT'S THE TRUTH, ISN'T IT?

FALLON, IT'S JUDGMENT DAY FOR ALL OF US.

>> Fallon: YOU TRUST BLAKE CARRINGTON'S LIFE TO THOSE

12 STRANGERS IN THAT BOX THAT COULD PUT OUR FATHER AWAY?

>> Steven: YOUR LYING'S NOT GOING TO HELP HIM.

>> Fallon: MY LYING?

SINCE WHEN ARE YOU SO TRUTHFUL?

YOU TOLD DADDY YOU WERE GOING TO CHANGE, AND THEN YOU HAD THAT

GUY AROUND AGAIN.

>> Steven: HIS NAME WAS TED.

>> Fallon: WHAT DID YOU EXPECT YOUR FATHER TO DO WHEN HE WALKED

INTO YOUR ROOM AND FOUND YOU AND TED TOGETHER?

>> Steven: I EXPECTED HIM MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, FOR ONCE IN

HIS LIFE, TO LISTEN TO ME...AND TO THE TRUTH.

>> Fallon: WHOSE TRUTH?

YOURS? HIS?

TELL ME SOMETHING, STEVEN, DID YOU DO ALL THIS ON PURPOSE?

DO YOU WANT YOUR REVENGE ON BLAKE CARRINGTON THAT BADLY TO

SEE HIM IN THAT COURTROOM IN THAT CHAIR, FACING THAT JURY?

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANTED?

>> Steven: NO.

>> Fallon: I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING -- SOMETHING I'VE

BEGUN TO THINK AND TO FEEL.

YOU'RE THE GUILTY ONE.

YOU'RE AS GUILTY AS ANYONE ELSE OF TED DINARD'S DEATH.

YOU ALLOWED HIM INTO YOUR FATHER'S HOUSE.

YOU PRACTICALLY INVITED HIM TO DIE.

YOUR FRIEND, YOUR LOVER -- YOUR DEAD LOVER!

>> Andrew: I WON'T ALLOW IT, BLAKE!

I WON'T LET YOU DO IT!

IT'S SUICIDE.

>> Blake: I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES ON THAT.

I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES ON THE JURY.

AFTER ALL, IT'S MY RIGHT TO GET UP IN FRONT OF THEM, TELL THEM

MY SIDE, WHAT I DID OR DID NOT DO.

>> Andrew: YOU'RE CRAZY, YOU KNOW THAT?

BECAUSE THAT IS NOT THE WAY IT'S DONE!

THIS ISN'T YOUR BOARDROOM, WHERE YOU CAN EXERCISE CONTROL.

>> Blake: ANDREW, YOU LISTEN TO ME, AND YOU LISTEN WELL.

YOU ARE STILL ON MY PAYROLL!

YOU STILL WORK FOR ME!

>> Andrew: KRYSTLE, WILL YOU TRY TO TALK SOME SENSE INTO HIM?

DEFENDANTS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO SAY ONE WRONG THING AND DESTROY

THEIR OWN CASE.

>> Krystle: I'M SORRY, ANDREW, BUT IF BLAKE THINKS THAT'S BEST,

I HAVE TO GO ALONG WITH HIM.

>> Fallon: OH, SURE, YOU DO.

HAVE MY FATHER SCREW UP HIS OWN CASE, HE ENDS UP IN JAIL, YOU

GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT.

>> Jeff: FALLON, WATCH YOUR MOUTH.

>> Fallon: YOU STAY OUT OF THIS.

YOU'RE NOT PART OF THIS FAMILY.

>> Krystle: I DON'T NEED JEFF TO DEFEND ME, FALLON.

>> Fallon: WHY DID YOU COME BACK THAT NIGHT?

YOU LEFT MY FATHER THAT AFTERNOON.

YOU WERE PROBABLY OFF WITH MATTHEW BLAISDEL ANYWAY.

>> Blake: FALLON!

>> Fallon: YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?

I THINK YOU CAME BACK TO PICK HIS BONES.

THIS AFTERNOON WAS A GOOD START.

BIG LADY AT THE BOARD MEETING, GULPING DOWN THAT FIRST BOTTLE

OF POWER.

>> Blake: NOW, THAT IS ENOUGH!

WHAT SHE DID AT THAT MEETING WAS TREMENDOUS.

I'M -- I'M VERY PROUD OF HER FOR THAT.

>> Fallon: WELL, I'M NOT SO SURE SHE DOESN'T BELIEVE YOU DID IT!

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE, KRYSTLE?

>> Blake: NOW, STOP IT!

DAMN IT!

MY GOD, LOOK AT US!

WE WERE A FAMILY ONCE.

NOW, I'M LOSING MY SON BECAUSE OF THIS.

YOU'RE LOSING YOUR BROTHER.

YOU TWO SCRATCHING AT EACH OTHER'S EYES.

I'VE JUST INSULTED MY BEST FRIEND.

ANDREW, I'M SORRY.

AS FOR MY DECISION ABOUT WHETHER I'LL TESTIFY OR NOT, I'LL HAVE

TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT.

>> Andrew: YEAH, WELL...

LISTEN, IT'S LATE.

I BETTER BE GOING.

>> Blake: WE'LL WALK YOU OUT.

>> Jeff: THIS AFTERNOON IN THAT

COURTROOM...DID YOU LIE?

I KNOW, I KNOW.

THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG.

BUT DID YOU LIE THE WAY STEVEN SAID YOU DID?

>> Fallon: IF I DID, CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND WHY?

DOESN'T STEVEN?

DOESN'T HE?

>> Jeff: YOUR FATHER'S RIGHT.

YOU'VE LOST YOUR BROTHER, FALLON.

>> Fallon: JEFF...

WHAT AM I GONNA DO?

WHAT AM I GONNA DO?

>> Judge Quinlan: DOES THE PROSECUTION REST?

>> Jake: YES, YOUR HONOR.

>> Judge Quinlan: MR. LAIRD.

>> Andrew: THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.

I CALL JOSEPH ARLINGTON ANDERS.

NOW, MISS JEANETTE ROBINS, A SERVANT WHO WORKS FOR YOU AND

WITH YOU, HAS ALREADY TOLD THIS COURT THAT SHE WAS WITH YOU IN

THE VESTIBULE AREA OF THE CARRINGTON HOUSE ON THE NIGHT OF

NOVEMBER 12th.

IS THAT CORRECT?

>> Joseph: YES, IT IS, MR. LAIRD.

>> Andrew: SHE ALSO TESTIFIED THAT WHEN MR. CARRINGTON ENTERED

THE HOUSE AND WAS TOLD THAT HIS SON STEVEN WAS UPSTAIRS WITH HIS

FRIEND -- HIS FORMER LOVER, THE DECEASED THEODORE DINARD --

MR. CARRINGTON TURNED ANGRY...

AND SAID THESE WORDS -- "I'LL KILL HIM."

IS THAT TRUE?

>> Joseph: NO. THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT TRUE.

>> Andrew: I SEE.

WILL YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO THE COURT, MR. ANDERS?

>> Joseph: WHAT MR. CARRINGTON SAID WAS, "I'LL GET HIM."

>> Andrew: YOU'RE SURE OF THAT, ARE YOU?

>> Joseph: I'M CERTAIN OF IT, MR. LAIRD.

JUST AS I'M CERTAIN THAT WHAT MR. CARRINGTON MEANT BY "I'LL

GET HIM" WAS THAT HE WAS GOING TO GET HIM OUT OF THE HOUSE.

>> Jake: OBJECTION.

THE WITNESS IS STATING AN OPINION.

>> Judge Quinlan: I SUSTAIN THAT OBJECTION.

THERE'S NO QUESTION PENDING.

>> Andrew: THANK YOU, MR. ANDERS.

NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

>> Judge Quinlan: MR. DUNHAM, CROSS-EXAMINE?

>> Jake: THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.

MR. ANDERS...

WELL, WE'RE INTO A RATHER CRITICAL VERB RIGHT NOW, AREN'T

WE, MR. ANDERS?

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "KILL" AND "GET" OR EVEN "GET OUT,"

BEING AN EXCEEDINGLY CRUCIAL DIFFERENCE IN THIS TRIAL.

YOU DO UNDERSTAND THAT, DON'T YOU, MR. ANDERS?

>> Joseph: I DO, OF COURSE.

>> Jake: IT IS YOUR TESTIMONY THAT WHAT YOU HEARD WAS THE VERB

"GET" AND NOT "KILL."

IS THAT CORRECT?

>> Joseph: YES, THAT'S ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.

>> Jake: AND YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT THAT'S WHAT YOU HEARD?

>> Joseph: I AM ABSOLUTELY SURE.

>> Jake: APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY FEET WERE YOU STANDING FROM

THE ACCUSED WHEN HE SAID WHATEVER IT WAS HE SAID?

>> Joseph: I WOULD SAY ABOUT AS FAR AS YOU ARE FROM ME RIGHT

NOW.

>> Jake: REALLY? I THOUGHT HE HAD TURNED AND WAS MOVING

TOWARDS THE STAIRCASE WHEN HE SAID IT.

>> Joseph: YES, HE MADE A SLIGHT TURN, YES.

>> Jake: BUT LET'S SAY THAT WE CAN DOUBLE THE DISTANCE

APPROXIMATELY TO WHERE I AM STANDING NOW.

IS THAT NOT CORRECT?

>> Joseph: APPROXIMATELY CORRECT.

>> Jake: GOOD.

ISN'T IT A FACT THAT WHILE YOU WERE IN THE ARMY,

SERVING IN THE 52nd ARTILLERY, YOU SUFFERED A PERMANENT HEARING

LOSS -- A CONDITION THAT PERSISTS TO THIS DAY?

>> Joseph: IT'S TRUE THAT I SUFFERED A HEARING LOSS, BUT

IT'S MINIMAL AT BEST.

>> Jake: AND YET YOU'RE INSISTING THAT ON THE NIGHT OF

THE 12th, YOU HEARD MR. CARRINGTON USE THE WORD

"GET" AND NOT "KILL."

>> Joseph: YES. I AM INSISTING.

HE SAID "GET" NOT "KILL."

>> Jake: CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW, MR. ANDERS?

>> Joseph: I CAN HEAR YOU.

>> Jake: CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW, MR. ANDERS?

>> Joseph: YES, I CAN HEAR YOU NOW.

>> Jake: I'll kill him.

DID YOU HEAR THAT, MR. ANDERS?

>> Joseph: YES, I HEARD THAT.

YOU JUST SAID, "I'LL KILL HIM."

>> Jake: NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

>> Judge Quinlan: WITNESS MAY STEP DOWN.

>> Andrew: YOU WERE THE DEFENDANT'S SECRETARY FOR A

YEAR, AND THEN YOU BECAME HIS WIFE AND HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST

10 MONTHS.

IS THAT TRUE, MRS. CARRINGTON?

>> Krystle: YES. THAT'S TRUE.

>> Andrew: SO IT'S A FAIR STATEMENT TO MAKE -- NOT AN

ASSUMPTION, BUT A STATEMENT OF FACT -- THAT YOU KNOW THE

DEFENDANT VERY WELL, CORRECT?

>> Krystle: HE -- HE'S MY HUSBAND, AND, YES, I KNOW HIM.

I KNOW HIM VERY WELL.

>> Andrew: HAVE YOU EVER, IN ALL THE TIME THAT YOU'VE KNOWN

THE DEFENDANT, KNOWN HIM TO HAVE A VIOLENT DISPOSITION?

>> Krystle: NO.

>> Andrew: BUT HE DOES GET ANGRY, HOWEVER, DOES HE NOT,

FROM TIME TO TIME?

>> Krystle: WELL, HE DOES.

OF COURSE.

>> Andrew: WOULD YOU TELL US, MRS. CARRINGTON, THE EXTENT OF

HIS ANGER AS YOU HAVE PERSONALLY OBSERVED IT?

>> Krystle: WELL, HE GETS MOODY, AND, UM, ARGUMENTATIVE,

LIKE MOST PEOPLE.

ESPECIALLY WHEN HE'S UNDER PRESSURE.

>> Andrew: WOULD YOU SAY OVERLY MOODY AND ARGUMENTATIVE?

>> Krystle: NO.

>> Andrew: AND NEVER VIOLENT, IS THAT CORRECT?

>> Krystle: THAT'S CORRECT.

>> Andrew: MRS. CARRINGTON, WOULD YOU SAY THAT

MR. CARRINGTON LOVES YOU?

MRS. CARRINGTON?

>> Krystle: YES, HE DOES.

>> Andrew: DOES HE LOVE HIS SON, STEVEN CARRINGTON?

>> Krystle: YES. VERY MUCH.

HE LOVES HIS SON VERY MUCH.

>> Andrew: THANK YOU, MRS. CARRINGTON.

UH, NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

>> Judge Quinlan: THE WITNESS MAY STEP DOWN.

>> Andrew: I CALL SARAH PAT BEECHAM.

>> Blake: ANDREW, IS THAT THE GIRL YOU TALKED ABOUT?

>> Andrew: BLAKE, THIS IS NOT GOING TO WORK.

SHE'S NOT A CREDIBLE WITNESS.

SHE'S A HOOKER.

PLEASE. LET ME CALL CLAUDIA BLAISDEL.

>> Blake: NO.

>> DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT ALL THE TESTIMONY YOU MAY GIVE

BEFORE THIS COURT SHALL BE THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP YOU GOD?

>> Sarah Pat: I DO.

>> Andrew: DO YOU HAVE THE BLAISDEL SUBPOENA READY?

>> YES, BUT MR. CARRINGTON SAID --

>> Andrew: NEVER MIND WHAT MR. CARRINGTON SAID.

YOU WATCH ME, AND YOU BE READY TO GO WHEN I TELL YOU.

>> RIGHT.

>> Sarah Pat: I WORK OVER IN LA GORDA.

I'M A MASSEUSE THERE.

I GIVE RUBDOWNS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

>> Andrew: AND STUFF LIKE THAT, YES.

NOW, MISS BEECHAM, PRIOR TO YOUR WORKING IN LA GORDA, YOU WERE A

MASSEUSE IN BREESIS, IS THAT NOT A FACT?

>> Sarah Pat: YES, IT IS.

I LEFT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.

JUST SORT OF A CHANGE OF LOCATIONS.

>> Andrew: NOW, WHILE YOU WERE WORKING IN BREESIS, DID YOU EVER

HAVE A CUSTOMER NAMED STEVEN CARRINGTON?

>> Sarah Pat: I DID.

YES, THAT'S RIGHT.

>> Andrew: NOW, WILL YOU TELL US WHEN HE CAME TO YOU FOR A

MASSAGE?

>> Sarah Pat: I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE, BUT IT WAS

SUMMERTIME.

>> Andrew: AND, DURING THE COURSE OF THE -- EXCUSE ME.

FOLLOWING THE MASSAGE, WOULD YOU TELL US WHAT HAPPENED?

I MEAN, DID HE THANK YOU AND PAY YOU AND LEAVE?

>> Sarah Pat: NO, NOT EXACTLY, SIR.

>> Andrew: WOULD YOU TELL THE COURT AND THE JURY EXACTLY WHAT

DID HAPPEN?

>> Sarah Pat: WE MADE LOVE TOGETHER.

>> Andrew: ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU HAD SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH

STEVEN CARRINGTON?

>> Sarah Pat: YES.

>> Andrew: NOW, MISS BEECHAM, AT THIS TIME, DID IT APPEAR TO YOU

THAT STEVEN CARRINGTON WAS A HOMOSEXUAL?

>> Sarah Pat: YOU MEAN GAY?

OH, NO.

I MEAN, NOT WITH ME, HE WASN'T.

HOW COULD HE BE?

I MEAN...

>> Andrew: WHAT DO YOU MEAN,

MISS BEECHAM?

>> Sarah Pat: HE STAYED HALF AN HOUR OVER THE TIME LIMIT.

YOU KNOW, FOR THE MASSAGE?

>> Andrew: UH, MISS BEECHAM, UM,

DID MR. STEVEN CARRINGTON EVER COME TO SEE YOU AGAIN WHILE YOU

WERE IN BREESIS -- I MEAN, AFTER THAT FIRST ENCOUNTER?

>> Sarah Pat: YES, HE DID.

QUITE A FEW TIMES, AS A MATTER OF FACT.

>> Andrew: THANK YOU.

NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, YOUR HONOR.

>> Judge Quinlan: MR. DUNHAM, CROSS-EXAMINE?

>> Jake: OH, YES.

MISS BEECHAM, YOU SAY THAT YOU ARE A MASSEUSE.

IS THAT CORRECT?

>> Sarah Pat: YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

>> Jake: ISN'T IT MORE CORRECT TO SAY THAT YOU ARE A

PROSTITUTE?

THAT YOU WORK IN A HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION?

>> Andrew: OBJECTION, YOUR HONOR.

THE PROSECUTION -- >> Jake: YOUR HONOR, I AM

MERELY TRYING TO ESTABLISH THE FACT THAT THE WITNESS IS

ENGAGED IN A LINE OF WORK WHICH IS A FELONY IN THE STATE OF

COLORADO, AND THEREFORE, HER TESTIMONY IN THIS COURT IS

VIRTUALLY WORTHLESS.

>> Judge Quinlan: PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION, MISS BEECHAM.

>> Jake: NOW, MISS BEECHAM, WOULD YOU TELL THIS COURT AND

THIS JURY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING?

>> Sarah Pat: I DO ANYTHING YOU LIKE.

>> Jake: THANK YOU.

NO MORE QUESTIONS.

>> Judge Quinlan: THE WITNESS MAY STEP DOWN.

>> Andrew: GO NOW AND FAST.

TAKE A DEPUTY SHERIFF WITH YOU.

I DON'T WANT TO GIVE HER A CHANCE TO RUN.

>> RIGHT.

>> Claudia: WHAT DO THEY WANT WITH ME?

I CAN'T TELL THEM ANYTHING.

>> THERE'S NOTHING ELSE I CAN TELL YOU, MA'AM.

IT'S A LAWFUL ORDER, AND YOU'VE GOT TO COME WITH US.

>> Claudia: MAY I TAKE MY CAR?

>> IT'S BEEN REQUESTED THAT YOU COME WITH US.

>> Claudia: MY DAUGHTER'S STILL IN SCHOOL.

>> THAT WON'T BE A PROBLEM.

YOU'LL BE FINISHED BEFORE SHE GETS OUT.

>> Claudia: CAN I AT LEAST CALL MY HUSBAND?

>> SURE.

>> Matthew: YEAH?

>> Claudia: MATTHEW? IT'S ME.

>> Matthew: CLAUDIA?

YOU OKAY?

>> Claudia: I JUST CALLED TO SAY THAT I LOVED YOU.

>> Matthew: WHAT'S THE MATTER?

>> Claudia: I KNOW THAT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM TO YOU,

EVER SINCE THE DAY THAT WE MET.

IT'S GONNA BE BETTER THIS WAY.

>> Matthew: WHICH WAY?

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

>> Claudia: I LOVE YOU.

>> Matthew: CLAUDIA -- CLAUDIA --

>> Matthew: YEAH?

>> Jake: MATTHEW?

MATTHEW?

MATTHEW, IT'S JAKE -- JAKE DUNHAM.

LISTEN, I DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.

I THINK YOU BETTER GET DOWN HERE RIGHT AWAY.

BLAKE CARRINGTON HAS JUST CALLED CLAUDIA AS A DEFENSE WITNESS.

NOW, LOOK, IF IT'S WHAT I THINK IT IS, IT'S GONNA BE VERY ROUGH

ON HER.

I'VE ALREADY TALKED TO THE BAILIFF.

THEY'LL LET YOU THROUGH JUST AS SOON AS YOU GET HERE.

MATTHEW?

>> Matthew: I'LL BE THERE, JAKE.

>> Andrew: I CALL

CLAUDIA BLAISDEL.

>> Blake: I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THIS.

I THOUGHT WE HAD AN UNDERSTANDING.

>> Andrew: BLAKE, YOU AND I HAVE ONLY ONE UNDERSTANDING -- TO

KEEP YOU OUT OF JAIL.

NOW YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES -- TO GO ALONG WITH ME OR TO FIRE

ME.

>> DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT ALL THE TESTIMONY YOU MAY GIVE

BEFORE THIS COURT SHALL BE THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH, AND

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP YOU GOD?

>> Claudia: I DO.

>> Andrew: DO YOU KNOW THE DEFENDANT, BLAKE CARRINGTON?

>> Claudia: YES.

>> Andrew: AND HIS SON, STEVEN CARRINGTON,

MRS. BLAISDEL?

>> Claudia: YES.

>> Andrew: DID YOU KNOW THE DECEASED, TED DINARD?

>> Claudia: I MET HIM ONCE.

>> Andrew: WHEN WAS THAT, MRS. BLAISDEL?

>> Claudia: THE NIGHT BEFORE HE DIED.

>> Andrew: WOULD YOU TELL US WHERE, PLEASE?

>> Claudia: HE CAME TO THE STORE WHERE I WAS WORKING.

>> Andrew: AND?

>> Claudia: WE TALKED.

>> Andrew: ABOUT WHAT, MRS. BLAISDEL?

>> Claudia: JUST THINGS.

THINGS.

>> Andrew: DID YOU TALK ABOUT STEVEN CARRINGTON?

>> Claudia: YES.

>> Andrew: WHAT DID YOU TALK ABOUT?

DID YOU HAVE AN ARGUMENT OF SOME KIND?

>> Claudia: YES.

>> Andrew: WILL YOU DESCRIBE THE ARGUMENT, PLEASE?

>> Claudia: UM, MORE OR LESS, MR. DINARD HAD, UH, COME OUT

FROM NEW YORK TO DENVER.

HE WANTED TO TALK STEVEN INTO GOING BACK WITH HIM.

I SAID THAT I DIDN'T THINK THAT HE SHOULD GET INVOLVED IN SUCH

A DECISION.

>> Andrew: YOU KNEW THAT STEVEN CARRINGTON AND TED DINARD

HAD A BRIEF HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONSHIP IN NEW YORK IN

STEVEN CARRINGTON'S PAST, IS THAT NOT A FACT?

>> Claudia: YES.

>> Andrew: SO WHY DID YOU TRY TO DISCOURAGE THE CONTINUATION OF

THEIR RELATIONSHIP?

>> Claudia: BECAUSE I KNEW THAT STEVEN WAS -- HE WAS THINKING

ABOUT HIS LIFE.

>> Andrew: ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HIS SEXUALITY -- HIS CHOICE OF

LIFESTYLES CONCERNING HIS SEXUALITY?

>> Claudia: YES.

>> Andrew: NOW, THIS IS A DIFFICULT QUESTION FOR YOU TO

ANSWER, MRS. BLAISDEL, I KNOW, BUT PLEASE, UM, FORGIVE ME.

I'M SORRY.

BY THE TIME OF YOUR MEETING WITH TED DINARD, THE NIGHT BEFORE HIS

DEATH, HOW WELL HAD YOU COME TO KNOW STEVEN CARRINGTON?

>> Claudia: VERY WELL.

>> Andrew: WOULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT, PLEASE?

>> Claudia: I DON'T KNOW HOW ELSE TO SAY IT --

WE...GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER VERY WELL AS FRIENDS.

>> Andrew: WERE YOU NOT HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH

STEVEN CARRINGTON AT THIS TIME?

I'LL REPEAT THE QUESTION.

WERE YOU NOT, IN FACT, HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH STEVEN AT THIS TIME?

>> Claudia: PLEASE, MR. LAIRD.

I'M A MARRIED WOMAN.

I HAVE A HUSBAND, AND I HAVE A DAUGHTER.

AND THEY MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME.

>> Andrew: I KNOW THAT, MRS. BLAISDEL, AND I'M SORRY.

AGAIN, PLEASE, FORGIVE ME, BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO ANSWER MY

QUESTION.

>> Steven: WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?!

>> Judge Quinlan: SIR, SIT DOWN!

>> Steven: NO, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO.

>> Judge Quinlan: MR. CARRINGTON, YOU

WILL PLEASE SIT DOWN OR I'LL HAVE YOU REMOVED FROM THIS

COURTROOM.

>> Andrew: MRS. BLAISDEL, I'LL REPEAT THE QUESTION.

DID YOU EVENTUALLY ENGAGE IN SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THE

DEFENDANT'S SON?

>> Claudia: YES.

>> Andrew: WOULD YOU TELL THE COURT ON HOW MANY OCCASIONS THIS

OCCURRED WITH STEVEN CARRINGTON?

>> Claudia: SEVERAL.

>> Andrew: MRS. BLAISDEL...

I MUST REMIND YOU THAT YOU ARE UNDER SWORN OATH.

HOW MANY?

>> Claudia: SEVERAL.

>> Andrew: HOW MANY TIMES?

>> Claudia: I DON'T REMEMBER HOW MANY TIMES.

I JUST SAID SEVERAL.

>> Andrew: WHERE DID THIS OCCUR?

DO YOU REMEMBER WHERE, MRS. BLAISDEL?

>> Claudia: IT OCCURRED -- YES.

THE FIRST TIME AT HIS CABIN ON MANCHESTER LAKE.

>> Andrew: AND AFTER THAT?

>> Claudia: AT HIS APARTMENT.

HE HAD AN APARTMENT.

WE MET AT HIS APARTMENT.

>> Andrew: SO YOU CONTINUED TO HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH HIM

THERE IN HIS APARTMENT.

>> Claudia: YES.

>> Andrew: NOW, AS HAS ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED, HE ADMITTEDLY

HAD A BRIEF HOMOSEXUAL PAST HISTORY.

NOW, WOULD YOU SAY, MRS. BLAISDEL, THAT DURING YOUR

ASSIGNATIONS WITH HIM THAT HE SHOWED ANY SIGNS OF HIS PAST

HISTORY?

>> Jake: OBJECTION.

QUESTION CALLS FOR A CONCLUSION ON THE PART OF THE WITNESS.

YOUR HONOR, THIS ENTIRE LINE OF QUESTIONING IS IRRELEVANT.

VIRTUALLY ANY HOMOSEXUAL IS CAPABLE OF A RELATIONSHIP WITH A

WOMAN, DEPENDING UPON HIS FRAME OF MIND.

>> Judge Quinlan: SUSTAINED.

WILL YOU, UH, PLEASE REPHRASE THE QUESTION, MR. LAIRD?

>> Andrew: ALL RIGHT.

I'LL PUT IT IN MORE POSITIVE TERMS.

MRS. BLAISDEL, WOULD YOU SAY THAT STEVEN CARRINGTON IS A

THOROUGHLY AND TOTALLY NORMAL HETEROSEXUAL PARTNER?

>> Claudia: YES, I WOULD.

>> Andrew: THANK YOU.

NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

>> Judge Quinlan: SIR, WOULD YOU PLEASE FIND YOURSELF A SEAT?

BAILIFF, GET THAT MAN TO SIT

DOWN.

>> Matthew: UGH!

YOU HAD TO DO IT!

YOU HAD TO DO IT TO HER, DIDN'T YOU, BLAKE?!

>> Judge Quinlan: I WANT THAT MAN ARRESTED!

GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

GET HIM OUT OF THIS COURTROOM!

>> Matthew: YOU HAD TO DO IT!

WHY HER, BLAKE?!

WHY HER?!

>> Judge Quinlan: GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

GET HIM OUT OF THIS COURTROOM!

>> Matthew: CLAUDIA!

>> Judge Quinlan: GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

>> Matthew: CLAUDIA!

CLAUDIA, DON'T!

SOMEBODY STOP HER!

SHE'S LIABLE TO DO SOMETHING WRONG!

DON'T LET HER LEAVE!

SHE'S LIABLE TO DO SOMETHING!

CLAUDIA! CLAUDIA!

>> Krystle: ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

>> Blake: YES, YES, YES.

I'M FINE.

OKAY.

>> Claudia: OH, LINDSAY.

I'M GLAD YOU'RE BACK.

LISTEN, WE'RE GOING AWAY.

COME ON.

I'LL EXPLAIN TO YOU LATER.

DON'T ASK ANY QUESTIONS.

>> Lindsay: WHAT HAPPENED?

>> Claudia: LINDSAY, I JUST NEED YOU NOW.

GET IN THE CAR.

>> Judge Quinlan: MR. LAIRD,

WILL YOU CALL YOUR NEXT WITNESS?

>> Andrew: BLAKE, I DON'T WANT TO DO IT.

>> Blake: DO IT.

>> Andrew: I CALL BLAKE CARRINGTON.

>> Blake: YES, I HAVE TWO CHILDREN -- MY DAUGHTER

FALLON, AND MY SON STEVEN.

>> Andrew: IS IT NOT A FACT THAT SOME 16 YEARS AGO, YOUR

FIRST WIFE, THEIR MOTHER, ABANDONED HER CHILDREN?

>> Blake: YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

>> Andrew: WOULD YOU SAY THAT YOU HAVE EVER NEGLECTED YOUR

CHILDREN?

I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, YOU'RE A VERY BUSY MAN.

BUSINESS CONCERNS TAKE UP MUCH OF YOUR TIME.

WOULD YOU SAY THAT YOU'VE BEEN A GOOD FATHER TO THEM OVER THESE

PAST 16 YEARS?

>> Blake: IS ANYONE EVER GOOD ENOUGH?

I'VE TRIED, BUT I WISH I'D BEEN A BETTER FATHER.

>> Andrew: WHAT KIND OF WORK DOES YOU SON DO?

>> Blake: HE WORKS FOR ME IN ONE OF MY REFINERIES.

>> Andrew: HOW MUCH DOES HE EARN THERE?

>> Blake: OH, I THINK IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $250 A WEEK.

>> Andrew: ISN'T IT A FACT, THAT YOU COULD HAVE GIVEN HIM A JOB

AT YOUR OFFICE AT A MUCH HIGHER SALARY?

>> Blake: YES, BUT I HAD STARTED AT THE BOTTOM AND WORKED MY WAY

UP, AND THAT WAS THE WAY STEVEN CHOSE TO DO IT.

I ADMIRED HIM FOR THAT.

>> Andrew: DO YOU LOVE YOUR SON, MR. CARRINGTON?

>> Blake: YES. I LOVE STEVEN VERY MUCH.

>> Andrew: WOULD IT, THEN, BE CORRECT TO SAY THAT BECAUSE OF

YOUR LOVE FOR YOUR SON, YOU TRIED TO PROTECT HIM FROM AN

ABNORMAL LIFE, A LIFE OF HOMOSEXUALITY -- A LIFE THAT HE

HAD EXPERIMENTED WITH BRIEFLY AND WAS NOW OBVIOUSLY TURNING

AWAY FROM?

>> Blake: YES. STEVEN HAD BEEN INVOLVED WITH TED DINARD IN

NEW YORK, BUT HE'D COME HOME TO STRAIGHTEN OUT HIS LIFE -- TO

FULFILL HIMSELF AS A MAN.

>> Andrew: AND THEN, UNINVITED BY YOUR SON, TED DINARD CAME TO

DENVER.

IS THAT TRUE?

>> Blake: YES.

>> Andrew: NOW, ON THE NIGHT OF NOVEMBER 12th, WHEN YOU LEARNED

THAT TED DINARD WAS IN THE HOUSE, WHAT DID YOU FEEL?

>> Blake: I, UH...

I FELT ANGRY.

>> Andrew: WHAT DID YOU SAY WHEN YOU HEARD HE WAS IN THE HOUSE?

>> Blake: I THINK I SAID THAT...

I BELIEVE I SAID, "I'LL GET HIM."

BUT I MIGHT HAVE SAID, "I'LL KILL HIM."

I DON'T REMEMBER WHICH.

>> Andrew: IN EITHER CASE, WHAT DID YOU HAVE IN MIND WHEN YOU

SAID WHICHEVER OF THE TWO PHRASES?

WAS IT TO HURT HIM?

>> Blake: NO.

>> Andrew: OR WAS IT SIMPLY TO GET HIM OUT OF YOUR SON'S LIFE?

>> Blake: YES. YES, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS.

>> Andrew: WOULD YOU -- WOULD YOU PLEASE TELL US WHAT

THEN HAPPENED?

>> Blake: I CLIMBED THE STAIRS, AND I

ENTERED STEVEN'S ROOM, AND I SAW MR. DINARD PUTTING HIS ARMS

AROUND MY SON.

>> Andrew: NOW, ACCORDING TO YOUR SON'S TESTIMONY, THEY HAD

DECIDED THAT TED DINARD WOULD LEAVE DENVER ALONE, AND THEY

WERE SAYING GOODBYE TO ONE ANOTHER.

DID YOU HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS AT THAT TIME?

>> Blake: NO. NO, I DID NOT.

>> Andrew: YOU DID NOT -- DID NOT.

WOULD YOU, UH, TELL US WHAT HAPPENED THEN?

>> Blake: WELL, I ORDERED MR. DINARD TO TAKE HIS HANDS OFF

MY SON.

>> Andrew: AND WAS THERE ANY MOMENT OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, ANY

MOMENT OF VIOLENCE BETWEEN YOU AND MR. DINARD AFTER THAT?

>> Blake: YES.

>> Andrew: WOULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT, PLEASE?

>> Blake: THE WHOLE THING IS SO CONFUSED THAT --

I DO REMEMBER THAT I TOLD HIM TO LET GO OF MY SON, AND I ORDERED

HIM OUT, AND I SAW MR. DINARD COMING AT ME.

>> Andrew: AND DID YOU TRY TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THIS

YOUNGER AND STRONGER MAN COMING AT YOU?

>> Blake: I DON'T KNOW.

I MAY HAVE.

I MAY VERY WELL HAVE, BUT THE WHOLE MOMENT WAS A MOMENT OF --

IT WAS A MOMENT OF CONFUSION FOR ME.

>> Andrew: I SEE.

IS THAT THE WAY IT HAPPENED?

YOU BROUGHT YOUR HANDS UP ONLY TO DEFEND YOURSELF.

>> Blake: YES. YES, THAT'S EXACTLY THE WAY IT HAPPENED.

>> Andrew: NOW, MR. CARRINGTON, WOULD YOU PLEASE TELL THIS

COURT, AT THAT MOMENT, DID YOU WISH TED DINARD DEAD?

>> Blake: NO. NO, I DID NOT.

>> Andrew: MR. CARRINGTON, YOU HAVE SAID THAT YOU LOVE YOUR

SON.

THERE ARE THOSE WHO WILL IMPLY THAT YOU DO NOT.

NOW, MR. CARRINGTON, WOULD YOU TRY TO FIND IT WITHIN YOURSELF

TO REVEAL TO US WHAT A FATHER FEELS AT A TIME LIKE THAT --

WHEN YOU ENTERED YOUR SON'S ROOM?

>> Blake: WELL, MAY I SAY THIS?

THAT NIGHT...WHEN I WALKED INTO STEVEN'S ROOM, FOR A MOMENT --

AN INSTANT, REALLY -- I ONLY REMEMBER SEEING THE ROOM -- JUST

THE ROOM ITSELF.

IT WAS A ROOM...SOME 20-ODD YEARS BEFORE THAT MY SON...

MY SON WAS BORN.

I CARRIED HIM IN FOR THE FIRST TIME INTO THAT ROOM.

AND I-I PLACED HIM IN HIS CRIB...IN THAT ROOM.

I SPENT THE NIGHT THERE, WATCHING MY NEWBORN SON.

IN LATER YEARS, THAT ROOM BECAME CROWDED WITH MEMORIES...AND SO

BECAME CROWDED WITH TOYS THAT I BOUGHT STEVEN.

IT WAS A ROOM...WHERE WE TALKED TOGETHER, WHERE WE WRESTLED

TOGETHER, WHERE I HELPED MY SON WITH HIS HOMEWORK.

IT WAS ALSO A ROOM WHERE I ONCE SAT VIGIL WHEN MY SON ALMOST

DIED AT AGE FIVE FROM PNEUMONIA.

IT WAS A ROOM...

IN A HOUSE...I WAS GOING TO GIVE MY SON ONE DAY...

IN...WHICH I DREAMED...THAT MY SON'S...SON WOULD GROW UP...

AND HIS SON AFTER THAT.

>> Andrew: THANK YOU, MR. CARRINGTON.

I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS, YOUR HONOR.

>> Judge Quinlan: MR. DUNHAM...

>> Jake: PERHAPS MR. CARRINGTON WOULD

LIKE A BRIEF RECESS BEFORE CROSS-EXAMINATION?

>> Blake: NO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I'M FINE.

>> Lindsay: MOM, ARE YOU GONNA TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG?

>> Claudia: LATER, BABY, LATER.

>> Lindsay: WELL, I DON'T WANNA GO ANYPLACE -- TO LEAVE MY

SCHOOL, MY FRIENDS -- >> Claudia: PLEASE.

LINDSAY, JUST KNOW THAT I'M DOING THE RIGHT THING.

JUST KNOW THAT, ALL RIGHT?

>> Judge Quinlan: YOU MAY CONTINUE.

>> Jake: MR. CARRINGTON...

WELL, YOU'VE JUST TOLD THE COURT, IN A VERY MOVING SPEECH,

THAT YOU LOVE YOUR SON VERY MUCH.

I WONDER, SIR, HAVE YOU TALKED TO TED DINARD'S PARENTS SINCE

HIS DEATH?

>> Blake: NO, I HAVEN'T.

>> Jake: WELL, THAT'S A PITY.

AND THEY HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO TELL YOU WHETHER OR NOT THEY

FIND THEIR SON'S ROOM A VERY SPECIAL PLACE RIGHT NOW -- A

VERY EMPTY ROOM, OF COURSE, MR. CARRINGTON.

A ROOM THAT WILL BE EMPTY -- >> Andrew: OBJECTION, YOUR

HONOR!

IMMATERIAL AND IRRELEVANT.

>> Judge Quinlan: SUSTAINED.

MR. DUNHAM, PLEASE STICK TO THE FACTS OF THIS CASE.

>> Jake: IMMATERIAL AND IRRELEVANT.

MR. CARRINGTON, IN YOUR TESTIMONY JUST NOW, YOU ADMITTED

THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE UTTERED THE PHRASE, "I'LL KILL HIM."

I'M REFERRING, OF COURSE, TO THE NIGHT OF NOVEMBER 12th, JUST

BEFORE YOU CLIMBED THE STAIRS TO YOUR SON'S ROOM.

NOW, I HAVE ESTIMATED THAT FROM YOUR POSITION IN THE VESTIBULE

AREA, WHERE YOU SAID WHATEVER IT WAS YOU ACTUALLY SAID, YOU HAD

TO WALK ABOUT 40 STEPS...

TO REACH THE STAIRCASE.

THEN CLIMB 25 STEPS UP THAT STAIRCASE AND WALK ANOTHER 15

STEPS IN ORDER TO REACH YOUR SON'S ROOM.

THAT'S A LONG WALK.

>> Blake: YES, IT IS.

>> Jake: TELL US, IF YOU CAN, MR. CARRINGTON, WHAT EXACTLY

WERE YOUR THOUGHTS AS YOU TOOK ALL OF THOSE STEPS?

>> Blake: AS I EXPLAINED, I WAS VERY ANGRY.

I WANTED THAT YOUNG MAN OUT OF MY HOUSE.

>> Jake: BUT IT IS YOUR TESTIMONY, MR. CARRINGTON, THAT

DESPITE THE THREAT, "I'LL KILL HIM," THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE

UTTERED JUST A FEW SECONDS BEFORE, DESPITE YOUR HATRED FOR

THE DECEASED, AT NO TIME DURING THAT LONG AND ANGRY WALK DID IT

EVER ENTER YOUR THOUGHTS THAT YOU WOULD NOW KILL TED DINARD IN

ORDER TO BE FINALLY RID OF HIM?

>> Blake: NO, THOSE WERE NOT MY THOUGHTS.

>> Jake: WELL, WHATEVER YOUR THOUGHTS ACTUALLY WERE,

MR. CARRINGTON, A FEW MINUTES LATER, TED DINARD WAS DEAD.

>> Blake: YES. YES, HE WAS...

BUT IT WAS AN ACCIDENT -- >> Jake: NO, NO.

PLEASE, JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION -- YES OR NO.

WAS HE DEAD?

>> Blake: YES.

>> Jake: NOW, DESPITE YOUR ALLEGED -- YOUR ALLEGED

CONFUSION OVER HOW THIS ALLEGED ACCIDENT CAME TO PASS...CAN YOU

RECALL, MR. CARRINGTON, SEEING THE TWO MEN -- YOUR SON AND THE

DECEASED -- WHEN YOU FIRST ENTERED THE ROOM?

>> Blake: YES. I CAN.

>> Jake: WERE THEY IN BED TOGETHER?

>> Blake: NO.

>> Jake: WERE THEY DRESSED AT THE TIME?

>> Blake: YES.

>> Jake: WHAT, IN FACT, WERE THEY DOING THAT SO INFLAMED YOUR

SENSIBILITIES?

>> Blake: I TOLD YOU EARLIER.

THEY WERE STANDING THERE.

MR. DINARD WAS EMBRACING MY SON.

>> Jake: WASN'T YOUR SON EMBRACING HIM BACK?

WASN'T THIS A MUTUAL FAREWELL?

>> Blake: I DON'T REMEMBER.

>> Jake: YOU DON'T REMEMBER.

WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER, MR. CARRINGTON?

DO YOU REMEMBER THINKING THAT YOUR SON, WHO, BY HIS OWN

ADMISSION, WAS LIVING OPENLY AS A HOMOSEXUAL WITH THIS YOUNG

MAN, WAS NOW SOMEHOW BEING SEDUCED BY HIM?

>> Andrew: I OBJECT, YOUR HONOR!

THIS AREA HAS ALREADY BEEN COVERED BY MY DIRECT

EXAMINATION.

I DON'T FEEL THAT MY CLIENT SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS

PAIN AGAIN.

>> Judge Quinlan: I'M GOING TO HAVE TO OVERRULE YOU, MR. LAIRD.

>> Jake: ANSWER THE QUESTION, PLEASE.

>> Blake: YES, I FELT HE WAS SEDUCING MY SON.

>> Jake: MR. CARRINGTON, ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE WORD

"HOMOPHOBIA"?

>> Blake: YES.

>> Jake: CAN YOU GIVE THIS COURT A DEFINITION?

>> Blake: I BELIEVE IT MEANS THAT --

IT MEANS DISLIKE OF HOMOSEXUALS.

>> Jake: I THINK IT MEANS A LITTLE MORE THAN THAT,

MR. CARRINGTON.

I'LL HELP YOU OUT.

IT'S A PATHOLOGICAL HATRED OF HOMOSEXUALS...

OF GAYS.

AREN'T YOU, IN FACT, A HOMOPHOBE?

>> Blake: NO.

IT WAS ONLY IN RELATION TO MY SON THAT I FELT ANY --

>> Jake: HOMOPHOBIC!

HOMOPHOBIC ENOUGH TO KILL!

>> Blake: NO!

>> Jake: MR. CARRINGTON, WE HAVE HAD DIRECT CONFLICTING

TESTIMONY IN THIS TRIAL FROM YOUR OWN CHILDREN --

FROM YOUR SON AND YOUR DAUGHTER.

AND WE'VE HAD VERY OBLIQUE TESTIMONY FROM YOU, SIR.

SO THERE IS NO ABSOLUTELY TRUE WAY THAT WE CAN RE-CREATE THAT

INSTANT BEFORE TED DINARD DIED.

BUT I ASK YOU -- I ASK YOU, SIR.

DESPITE WHAT YOU'VE TOLD THIS COURT AND THIS JURY, ISN'T IT

TRUE THAT IN THAT LAST INSTANT BEFORE HIS DEATH, YOU

WANTED TO SEE HIM DEAD?

YOU, IN FACT, WANTED TO KILL TED DINARD -- THAT YOU TOOK FULL

ADVANTAGE WHEN YOU PUSHED THAT YOUNG MAN, AS YOUR SON HAS

TESTIFIED -- AS YOUR OWN SON HAS TOLD THIS COURT AND JURY -- TO

SHOVE HIM, JUST AS VIOLENTLY AS YOU COULD, TO SEE HIM HIT HIS

HEAD, AND TO WATCH HIM DIE.

ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU REALLY WANTED?

ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU REALLY INTENDED, SIR?!

>> Blake: NO! NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE!

>> Jake: I HAVE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS.

>> Judge Quinlan: MR. LAIRD, REDIRECT?

>> Andrew: NO, YOUR HONOR.

>> Judge Quinlan: THE WITNESS IS EXCUSED.

DOES THE DEFENSE REST?

>> Andrew: WE REST, YOUR HONOR.

>> Judge Quinlan: MR. DUNHAM, DOES THE STATE HAVE ANY REBUTTAL

WITNESSES?

>> Jake: YOUR HONOR, THE STATE DOES HAVE ONE REBUTTAL WITNESS,

WHO SHOULD BE HERE IN A FEW MINUTES' TIME.

THIS SHOULD BLOW THEM RIGHT OUT OF THE WATER.

>> Lindsay: WELL, CAN'T WE AT LEAST STOP OFF AT THE OFFICE AND

TALK TO DADDY FIRST?

CAN'T WE AT LEAST DO THAT?

>> Claudia: WE'LL CALL HIM LATER.

I PROMISE YOU, LINDSAY, WE'LL PHONE HIM LATER.

>> Lindsay: LOOK! MOM!

>> Claudia:

>> Lindsay: AAAHH!

OH, MY GOD!

>> MR. BLAISDEL...

YOUR WIFE, YOUR DAUGHTER...

>> Matthew: WHAT ABOUT 'EM?

>> THERE WAS A CAR ACCIDENT.

THEY'RE AT HILLSIDE HOSPITAL.

>> Matthew: IS IT SERIOUS?

>> I'M SORRY.

>> Matthew: ARE YOU GOING TO LET ME OUT OF HERE?

YOU GOT TO LET ME OUT OF HERE.

>> SURE. OF COURSE.

>> Judge Quinlan: MR. DUNHAM...

WE CANNOT WAIT ALL DAY.

>> Jake: YES, YOUR HONOR.

I'D LIKE TO BEG THE INDULGENCE OF THE COURT.

IF WE CAN HAVE JUST A FEW MORE MINUTES.

THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT WITNESS.

YOUR HONOR, OUR WITNESS HAS ARRIVED.

>> Blake: WHAT'S SHE DOING HERE?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

>> Fallon: OH, MY GOD, THAT'S MY MOTHER.
