was a legislative aide it's a front page

kelly

i don't tell the newspapers what to

print

am i on your side huh

stevens always did right by us you had

no reason to hit him suppose he didn't

do right by i suppose he made certain

promises to me concerning building

permits which he failed to keep

suppose he took money from me wouldn't a

guy like that deserve to die

public

sergeant reed i'd like to talk to mr

a guy named stevens he was shot and

killed the other night a professional

job

do you ever hear that name before yeah i

saw it on tv wasn't he something in the

county

yeah well actually mr stevens approved a

lot of licenses

for you mr scalise for your bars and

clubs and so on

so come on mr schlesi

nothing like that ever happens around

here without you knowing something about

it

so i figured i'd come over here and ask

you

what do you know about it sit down

thank you

i know about you jack they say you're

the best detective on the force

guy's half as good as you or your bosses

you should be chief by now

you know my wife says the same thing

tell me about the stevens killing

get smart jack cops like you you give

all you got you get nothing back

do you know we end up on the scrap peep

with the lousy pension

i could help you oh i know you can help

me mr scalise that's why i'm here

see this guy stevens he never said no to

anybody

so why was he hit

you don't listen to you

you're a stupid man reed i don't waste

my time with stupid people

pete show sergeant reed out of here

oh no now who's being stupid now mr

scalise

huh hey you throw me out of here you've

answered my question right i mean i must

i ask leave me alone

i will i will just hear me out and then

before you believe the gossip

anyway that's that's why it was so

difficult

it hasn't been a real marriage for years

we've agreed to a divorce once both the

boys are in college next year

you should have told me alan why didn't

you just tell me i tried to

diana i haven't felt this way in years

i kept trying to find a way to tell you

but then i i just kept putting it off i

hate this

i don't want to hurt your wife and i i

can't stand the thought of getting hurt

again myself

no no i have no right to put you through

this

i want to get married alan i want a

husband

and kids i want the kind of family that

i never had

you can't give me

he insulted me reid came into my home

where i live

well what did you expect vic you do a

classic kit you make a big party for

yourself

you want this cop off your back reed's

been busting my chops for years

i'm gonna whack this guy oh that's great

you got a party now you kill a cop

you're gonna have a mardi gras

you're supposed to be the fixer i want

this guy fixed

i'll take care of it

you do that if you can't pull them off

me i'll take care of them read at the

bottom of the canal no more problem

i want to thank you for coming sergeant

i appreciate you taking the time

perhaps i can answer some of your

questions i'm uh investigating the

stephen's murder

mr stevens routinely rubber-stamped

business licenses

for your client mr scalisi it's common

knowledge that these businesses are

fronts

for drugs gambling prostitution

perhaps i misunderstood you sergeant are

you investigating the stephen's murder

or are you investigating mr scalise

because there are a lot of ambitious

people who would like to advance

themselves by taking advantage of mr

scalizi

as his representative and lawyer i

advise you

don't try it

as his attorney you must know a lot

about mr scalise's business affairs

actually i know nothing about his

business affairs i'm his personal lawyer

oh so you handle things like uh

i like his divorce right yes i handled

his divorce

well when you arranged mr scalise's

divorce settlement

didn't you become familiar with his

business interests

actually a lot of my friends down at the

police department tell me that you've

handled

their divorces and you've saved them

some serious money on alimony too

i have to tell you something sergeant i

have great respect for police officers

i think they work far too many hours for

far too little pay

so whenever i can i try to help them

hey daddy's home that sounds great

sweetheart keep it up

that was cool that was great i think i

might have gotten through to a couple of

them

look at this look at this is making a

dinosaur it's not a dinosaur it's a

triceratops oh yeah that's easy for you

to say

hey hey hey just a couple i'm starting

spanked tonight

you humiliated me in front of our

friends tonight

they're not criminals they're men like

me with jobs

families responsibilities they're not

criminals

you like them when you first met them

nothing's changed

a lot's changed alan i've changed

being with you has changed me being with

your friends

has changed me

i don't know i've i've been thinking

about it

it's all wrong you don't love me

that's not true

it's not true i've loved you from the

moment i first saw you

it was so beautiful so innocent

i don't know maybe maybe i've exposed

you to too much too soon

it's not about what i've seen they are

my friends and this

is my house this is our house continue

to humiliate me in front of my friends

i'll have no alternative but to divorce

you and if i divorce you

you will never see kim again

well i'll never leave her

you know i think sometimes you've

forgotten what this marriage means diane

our marriage is a sacred covenant

and for the marriage to work we both

have to abide by that covenant

now i made a sacred vow to protect you

and care for you and i've done that you

made a sacred vow to honor and obey me

and to tell you the truth diane you're

not holding up you're under the bargain

you can't be serious i shut up

shut up i said shut up shut up

where was the bear honey

[Music]

you sound tired today

i haven't been sleeping too well i'll

get over

nice bruise you got

why what is he talking about

please excuse me i need some air i'll be

right back

women

beats you is that it

it's nothing mommy don't lie to me

i have felt something wrong

for a long time mom please no

yes

you've got to leave him

i can't i can't mom i'm

trapped i'm not it's like you were i

can't not

like me no i was blind in a new country

scared

i was afraid to leave your father you

you got to be stronger

stronger than me i can't he said he'd

take him

i can't

you know some days i wake up and i think

i should just take my daughter

and run he'd track you down

you'd never see her again leave you

without a penny

you remember sigur's girlfriend they

found her in mexico

that's their job to track people down

i saw her a couple days later and she

could barely walk

so what do we do just tiptoe around

waiting for the next explosion

look even if he thinks he owns

you and he does think that you can turn

some things to your advantage

best thing to do is get out of the house

get a real estate license like i did

a shop how about

antiques no there's something else i

have been thinking about

massive uh shopping in the area and i

saw the demolition sign

it used to be our uh audio visual

department we were just gonna tear it

down perfect for what i want i'm

i'm thinking of starting a crisis center

crisis center

a shelter for battered women oh

i see uh well from my experience

these things can be more time consuming

and expensive than you can possibly

imagine

well time i have and as for money i

i thought of getting some donations and

grants

you think i'm kind of useless don't you

mr michaela

well maybe you're right except that

i think there is something here that i

can do something

real for a change

not the household money allen the money

you give me for

personal extras i i'd like to use it for

something

else that's your money diane you can do

what you want with it

what'd you have in mind uh some new

dresses

no i i thought i'd like to do something

worthwhile for

for women and children in trouble who

who don't have any place to go

daycare that's it's very thoughtful of

you diane

it's all right then listen i'm in the

your mother asked me to stop by and talk

to you

my mother she says you've been having

some problems at home

she went to the police your mother is

very upset

mrs masters she says your husband has

been abusing you

my husband and i had a a slight

disagreement my

my mother must have misunderstood i

can't believe she did this

so she's wrong there's no history here

of anything like this

no nothing i'm sorry you wasted your

time coming down here

it's okay it's my job

uh mrs masters i know your husband

i can understand why you might be afraid

of him

that's ridiculous sergeant if you're

worried about anything anything at all

i'd be glad to stop by the house and

talk to him no

thank you there's no need for that

okay right there

you've done a great job here this is a

very worthwhile enterprise thank you

maybe you should take the time to uh

read one of your own pamphlets

we can protect you mrs masters

oh daddy's got a spider we can get out

of here john

i know wildlife in the house thank you

oh great nothing like a nice quiet

breakfast at home

the attitude yeah i'm afraid they're not

gonna do anything today though

wow you've seen a lot of abused women

john i

don't know why this one is bothering you

it's a really interesting woman

working class girl a polish family she

marries prince charming

like me except this prince turns out to

be a frog

and she works so hard to make something

out of his song

there's a kind of a an innocence about

her you know

i guess i just want her to be all right

and that's just one of the many reasons

why i love you

well she sure doesn't belong in that

crowd

i'm afraid she's looking at a truckload

of grief

look at that diane's really

committed to making this place work i

like her

yeah i'm sure you do jim she's really

beautiful

i hadn't noticed

there must be something seriously wrong

for being so skeptical when we met you

tell you that i got you some more

volunteers so the psych department's

sending over some students so

jim thank you okay we can use them for

our our new 24-hour hotline and

i had this other idea i thought that

maybe we could

we could find some space upstairs so

that the mothers could bring their kids

with them

to the crisis center who's going to pay

for that

oh i i'll just work the phones harder

and

uh sell a little jewelry

you want to have a cup of coffee after

work or uh or you probably want to get

right home

precinct guys on board yet

trying to uh get back at me or what

i'm trying to do something

with my life you lied to me diane

you lied to me and you embarrassed me

time at the center

i'll make you a permanent resident

i wish i could be as strong as you

educated i didn't even finish college

nearly did winston churchill or for that

matter

a lot of people well there's

there's hope for me yet i don't know

given this second chance

to be happy did he ever love you

think he ever meant to marry me

he thought he'd just have a good time

and instead he fell for me

that's understandable

i know you need a friend right now but i

just can't be objective i

i like it too much it's like i think

about you when you're not around and i'm

ballistics is working up the slugs now i

i think that's 357.

we're going to need more men down canals

the hell of the crowd already damn

scavengers get some

troopers down there to help out you

check up on my boyfriend the professor

push him hard so you can shake something

out of him all right listen up

i want maximum effort on this everyone i

repeat everyone works

this case you make it your number one

priority

you'll be reporting to lieutenant galvin

okay we all know alan we've worked with

him now this is his wife remember that

we all love diane

it says here she sustained some

fractures unrelated to the bullet bombs

you know you're probably caused by the

body bounce around the back of the car

in my opinion the slugs are what killed

her

what about this here says she wasn't

wearing any underwear

was she sexually assaulted well after

six months at the bottom of the canal

it's impossible to say

no i couldn't find any evidence of

contusions abrasions or scratches in the

genital area

hey look you've got a good shutter

can't you tell us something look he told

you guys last march as well as us

he woke up in the morning he could not

find his wife mrs masters was not in the

house

her car was gone from the driveway she

never came home

how much does galvan know well a little

talk with him whatever he knows or

suspects he'll keep the wolves off your

back

i don't want any surprises get blood on

when she disappeared i can do it again

you gotta admit we're living the fantasy

you know

you commit a murder and you investigate

it

that is fine

let us pray grant o lord this mercy to

thy servant departed

that she who in her desires did die well

may not receive the punishment of her

misdeeds

thy mercy may make her the companion of

the holy angels in heaven

eternal rest ground unto her o lord

your light shine upon you make sure

[Music]

peace

[Music]

i know darling i cried my eyes out when

my mommy

went away okay it's gonna be okay

okay any friend will be here all the

time

i promise

[Music]

no no no alan knew all about the

boyfriend because you

tapped her phone like i had a choice

alan made me do it god takes joe shut up

you should have been there when i played

the tapes for him he went crazy about

broke every bone in my body

don't listen to him he's just suffering

from bottle fatigue

[Music]

i talked to so many police after die and

disappeared

i always remembered you sergeant

i hoped we would hear from you

yes i uh well actually i i tried to get

your daughter's case i asked them

for it but but they wouldn't give it to

me

this is dan's room

until she went away to school

sterner would you mind if i borrowed a

few of these things a picture or two

maybe your diary

i only ever saw her as a little girl

i lost my sight when she was five

when i think of her so young

come to life

okay take your time you don't want any

mistakes

now you never saw any of those men maybe

someplace

following mrs masters

no

but okay mr capstaff thanks i know you

want to get home

how's it going hey look pretty much a

dead end but we owe it to alan to keep

going

listen let me give you guys a hand give

me a lead to follow something

you want to take a look at small cases

alan's

yeah that's a good idea what are you

looking for well he made a lot of

enemies guys he took apart in court

i think it's a grudge thing well six

months ago i think she runs out an allen

maybe intends to hook up with the

boyfriend later on now she turns up with

a couple of slugs in her skull and i

still like michaela for it

there's no evidence of that it's a

pretty shaky motive

okay so what's left it's got to be a

revenge hit against alan doesn't it

[Music]

trouble is a man

[Music]

[Music]

a man i'll always

adore

nothing good to say about

[Music]

why should he

[Music]

have to be

[Music]

so that's the girlfriend huh

[Music]

yeah my wife thinks i work a lot over

time

[Music]

thank you

so uh what are you working on these days

ah mostly paperwork

chasing a few leads on a master's code

it's roy's case isn't it

yeah i'm gonna help him out

galvan's in way over his head on this

one i should have been running that case

and you know it

you know you've got a lot of unfinished

work i want you to drop it get back to

your own stuff

oh i thought you said you wanted

everybody pitching in on masters

well yeah you don't want to be bumping

into each other

you got plenty to do say something i've

been thinking about that

you know i think we're going in the

wrong direction there now now listen

listen to me remember last year

when diane's mother came in and she

reported that masters had been beating

her daughter up

it's a dead end it's polish family stuff

[Music]

besides look i i know ellie is a good

guy he loved diane he went crazy when

she disappeared

crazy

i hope over my singing uh this is one of

my best cops

jack gray jack lucina nice to meet you

hi saw you at diane's funeral

yeah i knew her slightly

well i i i guess i better make it finish

your beer

no you know me if i don't get home on

time my wife blocks me out

it's very nice to meet you we'll uh

get my best darling to kids huh okay and

remember what i said

hey you're the boss right

nice guy

don't ever talk to him

alan never did treat diane right leave

it alone nina

oh god you think he could have killed

her damn it i said

drop it do you want to get all of us

killed

so we just supposed to forget about

diane she was our friend

she shouldn't have stepped on alan she

knew she was playing with fire

what you saying it was her fault we all

know the rules diane tried to break them

look she's gone there's nothing we can

do about that

now let's just quit talking about it

it's none of our business

this investigation is going nowhere oh

damn it let's shake something up who's

in charge down there boy galvin

calvin's a lightweight anybody else

maybe who he's only a surgeon but uh

he's a good guy jack reed well what are

we waiting for

let's get him on the case corbett won't

like us interfering

the hell with corbin

[Music]

now

[Music]

um

it's not beautiful that's a wedding

dress it's really pretty mm-hmm

look at this lovely look at the funny

outfits they wore back then

i wore an outfit like that hey

that's dad mm-hmm he looks so young

is that the homecoming queen uh-huh that

was daddy's girlfriend

a long time ago did he love her

i guess he did then what happened

well it's a long story

what's her name katya

[Music]

sure i am thinking about the uh

masters case so i didn't need some help

you

[Music]

uh correct me if i'm wrong mike you're

the guy that took me off that case

so i changed my mind well jack you're

twice a cop boy

oh yeah that's right i'm a great cop

tell me this wouldn't have anything to

do with

county busting your hump

you're making a three-ring circus set up

i bet sure listen jack it's a hot seat i

wouldn't blame you if you turned

it through how soon could i start

[Music]

make the announcement in the morning

when jackie report directed me huh

absolutely

[Music]

okay

some pierogi

it's an 18th century crystal ball you're

supposed to be able to predict the

future with it but it's never worked for

me

it's very interesting it's good to see

you sergeant chief corbett told me

you're coming on the case

well i've uh i've been doing a lot of

reading i just have a few basic

questions like for example did your wife

have any

enemies that you knew about i'm sure

that she didn't

everybody loved her

this next one's a little awkward did you

know your wife was having an affair

yes i did i understand she wanted a

divorce

no that's not true she thought about it

it was very difficult for both of us

but like the books say we worked it out

i mentioned to you that i had a talk

with your wife it was about a year ago

we had received reports that your wife

had been physically abused

by me yes

what did she say she said there was

nothing wrong

i have a lot of enemies sergeant but

i had no idea would come to murder

so you think she was killed in order to

hurt you oh you bet that's what i think

i wonder why they just didn't hit you

i thought that was obvious sergeant

by killing her they did

this guy never wanted a wife he wanted

an obedient little

doll when she tried to leave him he went

nuts

wait but now what are you trying to say

france they killed him

what's he used to talking to you anyway

it's not a serious investigation why do

you keep saying that

i'm here i'm asking questions of course

it's a serious it's a cover-up

diane told me about you cops masters

owned you and everybody knows look

masters doesn't own me all right

no i told you about galvan about masters

he tried to hook me up to a lie detector

not masters just me look when we get

close to an arrest

everybody david there's not gonna be any

arrest not ever not in this case

to come to bed okay in a minute

so you got the case you wanted

what are you gonna do with it well first

i'm gonna read these files

i can ask you a question

what's with you and diane

arlene look all right

diane resembled somebody i used to know

so what

you were going to marry katja she and

diane could be sisters

you can't relive the past through diane

i don't believe me you got nothing to be

get jealous about

i'm too smart to get jealous

i'm sorry about it sergeant can you give

me a minute yeah don't worry about

it i'll ask you something it concerns

your wife's

underwear i've been going through the

files i'm sorry did you know your wife

wasn't wearing any underwear when they

found her body

well it wasn't prominent in my mind but

yes

you're saying that the killer removed

them at some point certainly not

afterwards we know that carrie wasn't

that kind of a freak

there weren't any scratches or

contusions to indicate a struggle

over her underwear before she died no

she probably took him off herself

which means that she was undressed or

was in the act of undressing

when she was confronted by her killers

where are you going with all this

i'm not sure just spare with me so she's

undressed he kills her

then he takes her clothes put them back

on the body

except he forgets her panties

i'm sorry this must be very upsetting

this this is a very difficult

conversation absolutely

would you rather be doing something no

no i don't mind just please try and get

the point

well you see if i'm right and she

undressed herself

well where does a woman usually take off

her underwear

i told you she didn't come home that

night she was having an affair

she could have left her panties in a

motel room excuse me

didn't you tell me that you'd patch

things up with her

i said i thought we had and you know we

we checked all the motels i mean hancock

springs isn't very big

she didn't go to a motel that night well

maybe they went to mckayla's place maybe

there's a chance that he's a killer

mechanic

so then you don't think it was a

killing after all

i'm not a detective sergeant i i

wouldn't presume to know

i appreciate your patience just one more

thing would you be willing

take a polygraph oh come on sergeant you

and i both know that that stuff's

inadmissible in court

everything

kind of social circles allen moved in

diane was always trying to improve

herself

did she ever say anything to any of you

that indicated something might be wrong

no

everything always seemed fine there are

no problems at home

everybody has problems i guess did you

ever talk about her husband

it's not as though you killed diane of

course i killed her

she was cheating on me

[Music]

uh based on the new autopsy information

this all seems pretty clear sergey

[Applause]

thank you what are you doing here

sergeant

still trying to straighten out a few

things counselor

such as well for opener is the cause of

your wife's death

she was shot twice in the head i think

that did it wouldn't you say

well that's what the first autopsy said

yes uh we just got the results of the

second autopsy your wife received

several

massive blows to the head the hard

object

she was dead before she was shot

well diane fought against her killer she

fought hard

i'm not surprised

or the killer shot her because he wanted

to make it look like a hit

i don't understand a beating is a crime

of passion council

whoever crushed diane's skull was close

enough to her to feel

great rage and he was anxious to conceal

that closeness by shooting her

dispassionately

after the act also of course he didn't

want anybody to know where the killing

actually took place

you really think i killed her don't you

sergeant

what's driving you sergeant

i've been practicing for 20 years and

i've never seen anything like this

you put together garbage do you envy me

do you hate me are you jealous because

diane

was my wife the killer is getting

further and further away because you're

wasting taxpayers money

with your problem

that's irresponsible sergeant that's

juvenile

i'm disappointed in you

been feeling kind of lonely lately

let me run it a little further myself

i'll get back to you

joe koslowski

yeah over here

joe someone uh interesting for a change

give us a minute would you joe koslowski

i'm sergeant jack reed

i don't know nothing you haven't heard

the questions yet

i understand you're a private

investigator you uh you do some work for

alan masters is that right

this is not an information booth

there's a rumor going around that you

did some phone tapping

for mr master is that true

[Music]

my work is confidential i don't have to

tell you anything you're right

you're right you're absolutely right as

long as you had a permit

did you have a permit because if you

didn't have a permit that's a federal

offense

did you have a permit mr kozlowski

it was a while back allen thought diane

was playing footsie

and you played the tapes for mr masters

didn't you

i honestly don't remember oh so then you

don't remember mr masters saying that he

was going to have his wife

killed

alan didn't say nothing like that no

withholding evidence

makes you an accessory to murder mr

kozlowski before the fact do you know

what that means before the fact

that means you could have prevented the

murder from taking place that puts you

in the electric chair in this state mr

kozlowski

are you trying to kid i'm not trying to

kid anybody i'm trying to save your life

well i guess i got that kind of crime in

[Music]

suburbia

hey sergeant michael give us a minute

please

well it's good to see you counselor

you're going to be seeing a lot more of

me too

you know i've been very cooperative with

you sergeant but i got to tell you

something

it's not going to do you any good to

harass me

i really just want to be friends

now i know that you are way overdue for

lieutenant's patch

you'd be happy to make a few calls on

your behalf

hi mr masters are you trying to bribe me

well it might be something to think

about

but no no

i wouldn't try to bribe you sergeant you

can't be bought

in fact i hear they call you the jesuit

some might call you a very foolish man

well coming from you wife killer

i consider that a compliment

but i don't think you are a fool

sergeant

i think you know that all i have to do

is make one phone call and a team of

morticians wouldn't be able to put you

back

together again who's being

foolish now a counselor i and after all

someone might be listening

someone might because you're not the

only one that can tap a phone

no there's no bugs in this thing it's

just jerking your chain how did you

finally tap diane's phone

it's me beats you

it beats you what what is this anything

can happen today is anybody home up

there

come on don't start this stuff i'm still

all screwed up you told him didn't you

lousy bills or violent listeners

back okay

i don't have to do anything they take

the money and they put it right into my

pocket

what's wrong

there's nothing wrong

is the man with the gun gonna come back

she's been having nightmares ever since

calvin was here

no sweetheart no nobody is gonna come

and hurt you

you have my respect and admiration for

everything you've accomplished sergeant

but a grand jury at this time be

unproductive

is this administration can't afford a

scandal in the sheriff's department

you gave me this job i didn't expect you

to dig this up

in a few months maybe then we'll take

another look at the situation

maybe maybe maybe masters in corbett are

guilty as hell and you know it

you're not gonna do a damn thing about

it are you

tell you lloyd i'm at a real crossroads

i either let me do my job or i'm going

to start driving a cab

what the deal won't call a grand jury

you're dead in the water anyway you know

what i'd like to do

i'd like to go to the we're feds on

wanted me to walk out on this one

i don't know what i want or think or

feel i just

want you to know that i'm not asking you

to give up jack

i want you to know that i just wish that

sometimes you could get

diane masters out of your mind that's

all maybe things could be

back the way they were you know all

things considered

we are very very lucky we have got a

good life we've got

two wonderful kids

hello yes who

he's sleeping he

is it important hi

i'm sorry to get you out some labor you

gotta hear this okay

uh it's mrs capstaff sure i'm jack reed

i saw you down at the station house

i really don't want to talk about this

i suppose i have to just relax and then

just talk to me

maybe i should start we had our monthly

board meeting at the college

now i've been bugging everybody to try

to remember what happened that night

that diane just drove off by herself and

then disappeared now suddenly gentle

you you tell him

we all came back here for a night cap i

know i

read the file i was

inquisitive inquisitive about what

it's okay go ahead

but whether diane and jim were having an

affair

that's why i followed her wait a minute

you followed diane masters that night

to see if they went to a motel

[Music]

i followed her out of the city and then

i

lost sight of her tail lights

so a little later i went by her house to

see if her car was there

and it was now if diane's car was in the

driveway then masters lied about her

never coming home that's why she wasn't

wearing any panties she was home

she was in her bedroom getting undressed

masters comes in and he kills their

masters killed

mrs capstaff

why haven't you told anybody about this

before

i was ashamed of being a snoop

we've been trying to get something to

stick to mr scalise and his buddies for

a long time

but this isn't evidence it's just

accusations suspicions and rumors

rumors look masters killed his

wife i got a witness who places her car

right outside the house we know damn

well that masters is the gloss on

scalise's whole operation he

pays the judges he pays the cops he

handles all the politicians what the

hell more do you want if you can prove

that then why are you here

why isn't county prosecuting the case

you know damn well why

masters are so well connected locally

look if i don't get a federal indictment

he walks

where the hell else can i go

sergeant you look like a man who needs

to go on my lunch

you've heard of rico mafia law yes yeah

the racketeer

influenced and corrupt organizations act

we could probably use it to get your guy

for mail fraud

mail fraud yeah according to your report

masters collected a million dollars life

insurance on his wife

if he killed her that's mail fraud a

federal offense that's the best you can

do

patience sergeant that's just to get his

attention

rico covers a lot of other things too

gambling

prostitution extortion arson

loan sharking and conspiracy to murder

damn idiots if you've gotten rid of reed

we wouldn't be in this mess

judges

the politicians the whole works you

think we're crazy

get the straight sergeant we'll never

testify nobody is

you

what do you want i want alan masters

i want to know about every hustle he's

ever pulled in your courtroom

oh god

there's got to be some other way to get

him without me

you know how the game has played judge

you're going to go in that courtroom and

you're gonna testify against alan

masters or you're going down with him

which means you go to prison for

racketeering

for conspiracy to murder for openers

now talk to me

melon told me in this room

he killed his wife

is that him yeah i'll carry it tommy get

the cake running okay

follow me

are you under arrest no no i'm here to

attend the policeman's ball

volunteered of his own volition the

federal authorities and they'll be

cooperating fully

i guess this is what you guys call a

caller alan masters you are under arrest

for five counts of racketeering

including conspiracy to murder there's

no big deal

michael corbett you're under arrest for

conspiracy to murder

these are two federal officers would you

please surrender your firearm

in fact the mob calls him the master

fixer

you paid the cops you paid the judges

the mayors the city councillors

allen masters owned south chicago

as for his wife diane he beat and

terrorized her

and finally in a violent rage the day

before she was going to file for divorce

he killed her this case is as phony as a

three dollar bill

allen masters is not a criminal he's an

innocent man

loving father and husband fine lawyer

unjustly accused that diane

was weeping she was crying as hard as

anyone i've ever seen cry

and she was trembling she was terrified

of her husband

no further questions

tell me sir does white wine or

red wine go better with adultery

objection

sustained professor

when you had sex with mrs masters

i take it you like to watch her undress

yes

did she remove her pantyhose and patties

how else could she have done it you know

that when mrs master's body was found

she wasn't wearing pantyhose or panties

objection your honor this man is not on

trial

your honor this man is an obvious

possible

murder suspect defense is simply raising

reasonable doubt as to the defendant's

guilt

objection overruled

no so far we're striking out

we're just warming up sergeant we'll get

him with judge o'neill's testimony

believe me

we better sergeant you know when this

trial's over i'm gonna pay your wife and

kids a visit

if you ever just mention my family again

i'll squeeze the eyeballs right out of

your head do you understand me you

lousy i'll get your hands off my clients

this is obviously out of control it's a

police sergeant

he's attacking a defendant in a federal

building we should charge him with

assault

that makes you wonder who should be on

trial doesn't it come on

will you need me for anything else

tonight judge

no thanks

i just have a

little work to do well

good night church

[Music]

ah it's my fault i should have had

somebody garden on you

it's nobody's fault but we gotta plug

the dyke if you could just get those

women to testify

i forget about it they're running scared

i can't say is that blind

mr kazlowski we don't want to hide

anything from this court

do you have a drinking problem yes i was

in st

joseph three times for alcohol related

treatment and the day you played the

phone taps

for alan masters and you heard him swear

to kill his wife were you drunk on that

day no sir i was sober

no further questions

were you drunk the day before you played

that tape

i don't remember maybe were you drunk

the day

after maybe isn't that a coincidence

that that just happened to be the one

day of the year

you didn't abuse alcohol not the only

day

mr masters wasn't just your employer was

he mr kazlowski

wasn't he a good friend yes i guess he

was

mr kozlowski this is a favor for your

friend

did you shoot diane masters objection

the question has no good faith basis

let me understand this counselor are you

suggesting that your client

hired mr kozlowski to kill diane masters

no your honor

we believe that mr kozlowski tried to

help his friend mr masters

by getting rid of the wife that was

causing him so much unhappiness

this is what he felt he had to do for

his friend because of his alcohol abuse

because he was hallucinating i don't

believe this

first he's blaming me caleb now

kozlowski by the end of the trial he's

going to be blaming the milkman

possibly but i'll allow the question

nonetheless

mr koslowski

did you shoot beat and murder diane

masters

no i did not did you take off her

underwear

no sir is it true mr karzalowski that

you like to wear women's underwear

objection this is character

assassination your honor

we have witnesses from the hospital who

are willing to testify

that mr kozlowski wears women's

underwear

that is why there was no underwear on

the body of mrs masters when she was

found

witness take the question

mr kozlowski you like to wear

shiny lacy women's

underwear you're in sexual games yes

transvestite drunk just what we needed

the words reasonable doubt keep running

through my mind

it's halfway out the door oh

look a little sick there sergeant

[Music]

oh you can go to hell i'm not testifying

you've got nothing to worry about

masters will be in a prison for the rest

of his life

yeah well he's got a long reach

if you think that you can make yourself

safer somehow by by keeping your mouth

shut you're just kidding yourself

you bastard who do you think you are

you come to me looking for help

promising to do the right thing for

diane

were you screwed up who the hell told

you you could put me on the front line
