Original subtitles

The murder. The scene four years ago...

...when he was elected Governor Tom Van Allan California.

This is the scene a few hours ago.

Police sources say a woman, Sharon Rooney...

...he has been arrested.

It has set the battle.

He was on the prosecution and I resigned today.

I want to represent you.

You are now defense attorney. But what I can not imagine...

...it is why the meeting heard the prosecution team...

...without being part of this report.

When that happened he had not decided to take the case.

We gave you enough time to decide.

What you have done has laid us all a kick.

We used to go against them, now you're one of them.

I did not like the idea of ​​being bribed with a job.

It does not matter how you get a job, what matters is what you do with it.

If you accept, you will be in garlic. I agree.

The rich and powerful.

I guess you have taken the loan.

How do you know?

Inspecting the bank. I want to hire you.

I do not care about your business.

The confession.

I did, Mr. Wyler. I killed Tom Van Allan and that girl.

It's the last time you say that.

TUESDAY 22 OCTOBER

I Saida Pagan, the Supreme Court of Los Angeles.

Just arrived Caroline Van Allan, widow of the assassinated governor.

He believes the woman to be processed is guilty?

That will be decided by the jury.

What feelings do you have towards it, after what happened?

What I feel is my business.

Mr. Wyler? Mr. Wyler, how is Sharon Rooney?

Okay, eager to start.

There is a possibility of an agreement? No. We're going to win.

Concerned about his former colleague Miriam Grasso?

Certainly presents his case with his usual competence and style.

Thank you.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

Although we met a little during jury selection...

...I officially presented.

For the record, my name is Miriam Grasso.

And my job is to present decisive evidence...

...that the accused, Sharon Rooney...

...with malice aforethought...

...he assassinated the governor Van Allan and his partner, Marlee Donovan...

...the night of August 19, 1996.

It would be disingenuous of me not to recognize...

...that Tom Van Allan was a man with flaws.

He was unfaithful to his wife. He was a womanizer.

But as much as the defense focus on those defects...

...This trial is not about this.

This trial is a double murder...

...committed by this woman.

The question is why.

And the answer is easy, clear and very typical.

Sharon Rooney was a jilted lover.

She was angry and jealous and wanted revenge.

Marlee was unlucky that Donovan was with the governor...

...when Sharon Rooney retaliated.

Sharon Rooney and the governor had been lovers.

This summer, when she told him she was pregnant...

...he insisted on an abortion. Then he cut her...

We can approach, Your Honor?

Your Honor, I'm halfway through my intervention.

Lawyers, come.

I need to adjourn.

What happen? I am indisposed.

If not give me a break, left over words.

Come to my office when finished.

Thank you. Sorry, Miriam. If you have to go, you gotta go.

We will take a short break.

Aborted?

Yes.

It was Tom Van Allan?

Yes.

How you want to defend you? Why did not you tell me?

Why I was gonna say? It's the worst thing I've done in my life.

Worse than killing two people in cold blood?

Mira, Sharon...

...they want to execute you for murder.

You killed those people?

The judge wants in his office. Now.

I do not think you've done. As if it mattered.

His former assistant in the kitchen. Gwen?

He preferred to be your coffee.

Gather all you want?

Samples of colors for the office. I like the cookie.

Cookie sounds great.

Nobody does it strong.

What, Gwennie?

I am ashamed to be here.

How it goes with Barry Volmer?

As captain let your thinking for you...

...the former governor has nothing to Barry.

It has happened to you?

When it goes well behaved.

When horny, is an octopus.

You want to sue? No. I just want to go, Jimmy.

I asked you to come with me two months ago.

The offer still stands.

You're the best, Jimmy.

But I do not want to annoy anyone here.

What Louis is weekly. I will talk with him. See their plans.

Yes? Yes.

Come.

I'll call you tomorrow and we think something.

Gracias, Jimmy.

You're welcome.

You want to change jobs.

His assistant was long. Seven years.

I asked him to come with me at first.

But he worried about their salaries.

The new federal legislation has taken care of that.

Good is...

It's normal to want to aide with whom you feel more comfortable.

Thank you understand, Louis.

I wonder if it's just a matter...

...familiarity with Gwen.

Of course.

What a coincidence!

I travel vouchers expire soon.

I've never seen the Mediterranean.

No hurry. Take time to think what to do.

Thank you.

Jimmy asked him why he had hidden things.

He says abortion is the worst he has done.

Needless to say he has blown his brains out two people.

I doubt that you have done.

Why it excludes abortion murder?

Making devil's advocate would say if you are very religious...

...and was forced to abort, that could justify the killings.

If he had killed because of their religious beliefs, he would have said.

You're not a prosecutor. You do not have to believe in your case to carry it.

Practical information...

...we the abortion means a problem with the six member jury.

Six. Lloyd is Connover. Catholic.

Conservative. Supports prayer in schools.

It will be impossible to reach him.

It was clean during the preselection.

I want that member out.

Szymanski to see him again. Voucher.

It is done.

Chris, you have a moment?

I do not need a manual on how to be a defense attorney.

Desmoralizas.

And you reinforce the moral? He is saying he was innocent?

Soil say what I think the people I trust.

Do not act like a child angry about not catch good place.

I feel like you've taken well.

And that little phrase?

"I feel like you've taken that way," an apology without substance?

That is angry child. Agree.

What color is the cookie?

What?

What color do you think is the cookie?

I dont know.

Light brown, maybe?

Thank you.

In the latest survey from the assassination of the governor...

...Roger Garfield has earned five points over Governor Stewart.

After returning all mad at Neiman's, I need your opinion.

What I wear to dinner with your mother?

Herve Leger is the best...

...but it is low-cut and may not be appropriate.

Why you bought another dress?

I want to make a good impression.

And I do not mind spending a small fortune for it.

Or you prefer the Dolce & Gabbana?

I do not know why you care so much.

You've six months talking about your mother like a queen.

I should not get nervous?

There is also the Versace.

Laura, darling, if you've been in a parallel universe...

...no TV or newspapers...

...I must defend a woman accused of a double homicide.

By the way, the governor of California is also gone.

No need to get edge.

I am sorry. I have to revise my initial intervention.

I read me two days ago. Is very good.

Now is better.

Miriam has done well today.

I have only to go over it one last time.

You'll be asleep in your office...

...and thou shalt go all crumpled to the court tomorrow.

So if you come home with me now...

...I'll feed you, I mimare...

...and that I'll sleep well...

...so that when you stand in front of the jury...

...you're relaxed and with a clean shirt.

Come on, Jimmy.

Yes I'm more eloquent with a clean change.

Wednesday, 23 October

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

My name is James Wyler.

Some will remember that I was a prosecutor.

Working in the prosecution...

...I processed 43 cases of murder and got 43 convictions.

I tell you honestly that if you continue accusing...

...I would not have taken this case to court.

No charges are supported by the evidence.

Objection, Your Honor.

The lawyer enter your personal opinion is irrelevant.

In addition, your resume is not relevant to the case, Mr. Wyler.

Protest accepted.

the jury to disregard such references are warned.

It has committed a heinous crime...

...and responsible deserves to be punished.

But justice is not done if done paying the wrong person.

The prosecution will present a few witnesses...

...None of them can tell...

...Sharon Rooney is a violent person...

...capable of committing murder.

None can tell...

...who they saw commit the crime of which he is charged.

A secret lover is a tempting suspicious...

...but your job is not to judge...

...young Sharon Rooney...

...for his relationship with the governor.

Your job is to determine...

...if guilty of murder without reasonable doubt.

Ladies and gentlemen, at the end of the trial, can not.

The second was a wound central inlet...

...above the base of the skull.

It goes from left to right up...

...entering the occipital region of the scale...

...through the sagittal midline in the basilar artery...

...damaging it and crashing into the right frontal lobe.

You can describe the third wound, please?

Yes. This was also mortal.

Again, the bullet was from left to right up...

...through the temporal lobe and finally staying in the thalamus.

Four wound was enough to cause death?

Yes. Let us now...

...on the other victim, Ms. Marlee Donovan.

You can describe the nature and extent of injuries?

Miss Donovan received four wounds, the first and fourth non-lethal.

The second and third were fatal.

The second burst through the throat, damaging the external jugular...

...and the third on the right temple in the larger area of ​​the sphenoid...

...damaging the carotid.

In his research...

...could determine whether any of the victims fought off the attacker?

As I said, the governor has a collarbone injury...

...which it could indicate that turned to see the aggressor.

Believes the murderer realized that the second wound was fatal?

I think so.

But the murderer fired twice more.

It was a cold-blooded murder, you, Doctor?

Yes it is. Thank you. I have no further questions.

He has not described any exit wound. Why?

A 22 is not as powerful as a larger caliber weapon.

Lacks force the bullet to exit the skull.

It is inside the brain causing...

...enough damage and instant death?

It is most common, yes.

Shot in the head with a 22 is so effective...

...it could be the signing of organized crime.

I protest. Dr. Yamashita is an expert in medicine...

...not in underworld activities.

Accepted.

Eight shots. Five of them fatal.

That degree of precision is not consistent with other professional crimes?

As I said, he shot at close range.

It is normal so accurately. That was not the question.

It is true or not that the way to die...

...Mr. Van Allan and Miss Donovan...

...it resembles how to act professional murderers...

...in other murders he has investigated?

In some respects, yes.

Jimmy. I loved your initial intervention.

Uncle, you have...

...a lot of presence.

You do not have a great case, but you were great.

Them, I try to eat, okay?

You should be with a typewriter slandering famous?

Jimmy, I will give you important news. My editors...

...I have assigned the case of Sharon Rooney.

That is what brings me to you.

This is my comment:

No comment. Not now, not never.

You know, Jimmy? You misunderstand me.

I come with gifts. In return...

...exclusively with Sharon Rooney...

...after the verdict, no matter how you go...

...I would...

...a preview...

...the story of the week the National Inquisitor.

Even if I wanted to save 35 cents...

...why I would be interested in what you post your rag?

I say one thing, Jimmy.

If you do not like what you see, we forget the deal.

This is reliable?

Yes. It is supported by four sources.

I'll see you have your interview.

You know, Jimmy? You are a noble man.

About midnight...

...I was in the kitchen making coffee Mr. Lancaster...

...when I heard a woman scream.

Beiden agent with this diagram...

...I could tell what he did at that time?

I climbed the stairs to the room of the governor and knocked on the door.

Hearing nothing, I walked in and...

...the governor and Miss Donovan in bed.

They had been shot several times.

What did he do then? I checked if they were alive.

They were not. So I called an ambulance.

Then I saw the glass door facing the open West.

I went and saw a woman running on the beach.

What did he look like? And a half meters, about 50 kilos.

Hair at shoulder height seemed, under the lights, blond.

Go to the woman in the room?

Yes. It's just sitting there.

Stating that it has identified the defendant, Sharon Rooney.

Thank you very much. Nothing else.

Juror number nine also matches its description.

I'm sure seeing it.

Much do you think it took to go from the kitchen of Mr. Lancaster...

...to the room, call wait, go, see if they were alive...

...seek help and then go to the door to see the woman who escaped?

Fifteen seconds. We timed someone...

...running from the kitchen to the bedroom.

That alone took eight seconds.

I protest. We can not know how reliable is this hypothesis of the defense.

Accepted.

Usually they do not assign you to protect the governor, right?

No, normally he protected his wife.

So what happened? Two officers were ill.

I was reassigned. In addition to protecting...

...Mrs. Van Allan, was also his duty...

...sleep with her? I protest!

Your Honor, we would like to provide proof of the defense.

This article will appear...

...in the National Inquisitor on Monday, detailing...

...adventure between Beiden and Caroline Van Allan agent.

Your Honor, are rumors! I told you so you know...

...the position of the agent. We can approach?

This is intolerable. It has not fulfilled the law of reciprocal discovery...

...to show this.

The prosecutor has so nervous...

...that has forgotten it is your own witness.

I have no obligation to provide information about their own witness.

It is unimportant garbage...

...and should not allow prejudice in this process.

Beiden agent's wife sold the photos...

...and the story of the adventure.

We only ask to be allowed...

...examine the witness on the relevant facts.

Your Honor, this is unacceptable. Calm down, Mrs. Grasso.

You have brought this witness.

Mr. Wyler has the right to question his credibility.

Beiden agent, I'll ask.

She had an affair with Caroline Van Allan?

Yes. They had that adventure...

...when her husband died? Yes.

He was jealous of the governor? No. There was jealous.

According to this article, you left his wife and son...

...by Mrs. Van Allan.

That's right?

My marriage was over long ago.

Emotionally. Otherwise, he would not have had that adventure.

The dead governor, nothing hinders his relationship with his wife.

He says it as if I had anything to do with the murder.

Thus, Beiden agent? Do not! Absolutely.

Whatever he did, my job was to protect the governor.

But did not your job, right?

Because I wanted him dead, no? Do not.

As have some knowledge about laws, you know...

...that a person needs a reason...

...and being in the right place to be suspected of a crime.

You meet the two requirements, truth, Beiden agent?

I protest. A legal conclusion. Nothing else.

Your calls.

Caroline Van Allan has come to see. He's in his office.

Thank you.

Mrs. Van Allan.

For his statement today and the subject of interrogation...

...I guess I will humiliate in court...

...as a suspect in the murder of my husband.

My duty to my client to examine all possibilities...

...that might suggest doubts.

Then you'll want to see this.

I saw this when reviewing the papers of my husband.

Sit.

Who is Terry Philbrick?

A spy who got my husband Roger Garfield's campaign.

I thought this report might interest him.

Especially the appointment of Garfield.

"The only way to not win again Van Allan is being killed. "

It could be a simple comment.

But if I defend her client, she investigates.

Coincidence that the day has brought peppered her boyfriend?

Just make a show of my adventure will help your client.

But he did not kill Tom nor I.

Understand that I need more than your word.

My husband told me once...

...that if I ever found him dead, seek to Malcolm Dietrich.

I persecuted for having when he was attorney general.

Made the political career of Tom...

...will cost millions to Dietrich and almost imprisoned.

When Tom was a candidate for governor...

...he financed the campaign of defamation.

He never underestimated the resources Dietrich.

You will answer?

They'll call back.

Mr. Wyler, I just want you to know...

...that despite the failure of my marriage, I loved him.

I want to punish whoever killed.

I feel I should say more, but...

I can not express in words.

To tell you what I think? Voucher.

If the encounter sexually attractive?

If I enjoyed the little game of legs?

A lot.

He will deliver this in my interrogation in court?

I can not help her, Mrs. Van Allan.

Maybe he did not teach enough leg.

Llamaremos a Terry Philbrick.

Goodbye, Mr. Wyler. Mrs. Van Allan.

THURSDAY 24 OCTOBER

We have modernized the Pentium. Now we have Windows NT.

With ISDN connection, you connect and disconnect at all.

Before the technology here was a typewriter...

I heard that the prettiest girl in the world back home.

Frank. How are you?

When we run away together?

When your wife tells me we can.

What about retirement? You kidding me?

Jimmy makes me work harder than when I was a cop.

Hi Frank. Gwennie? Louis has welcomed you?

Yes. I already feel at home.

They are awaiting at the meeting.

Frank and you have a meeting with Terry Philbrick at nine.

Gracias, Louis. Frank...

What have you learned about juror number six?

I've been reviewing the jury questionnaire with magnifying glass.

Nothing for the moment. You have to get rid of it.

Good Morning. Good Morning.

Arnold...

...want a motion to compel the prosecution...

...to deliver the notes, reports and interrogations of Biggio agent.

Fact. Although no interview Beiden...

...as a suspect, we can use it to humiliate him when he testifies.

How are defense witnesses?

I have questioned all the list I gave Sharon.

His mother is good. Mothers always are.

So I want someone who seems more objective.

The director of the school where he studied is good choice. Beth Anderson.

Well, talk to her. It is done.

Terry Philbrick is at reception.

I do not like it "dirty game". It's something derogatory.

I prefer to call what I do "political action".

Either interrupt the candidate or short...

...not only it meant to destabilize, but entertain.

Dickie Tuck, Don Segretti, they understood.

Terry, what can you say about this report?

You called me "Terry"? Very good, I like.

I always say: Trust gives joy.

Yes, so my name. But it is easy to forge a signature, no?

Voucher. Among friends, yes, I wrote it.

So Garfield threatened to kill Tom Van Allan.

Well, what he said was something like:

"The way they go the polls to win would have to kill him. "

It was a joke. Yes.

But they do not pay two thousand a week to deliver jokes.

Embellishments here and there are good at this business.

You know if Garfield had someone in the campaign Van Allan?

Today you have to have someone in the opposition.

But if Garfield had someone in his campaign...

...I have an obligation to inform mine.

Unless you asked Uncle bribes as another source of income.

But if he knew the mole Garfield...

...I do not think most ethical spread it out.

We would not want to put his ethics on a compromise.

And, on the other hand, with the dead governor...

...and my special services are not required.

And lick envelopes $ 500 per week is not my idea of ​​the future.

What contribution to your future would...

...the name of the mole?

Okay, on sale, $ 25,000.

I have to think about it.

Okay, Mr. Wyler. But time is not on his favor.

Every day I think, will cost thousand dollars.

We will call you. Clear.

Pujamos?

I've never bought a witness, I will not start now.

You reduced many serious crimes minors for collaboration.

Here only changes the currency.

Sally Vaughn. V-A-U-G-H-N.

I live on the street Palms Boulevard, 421, apartment 210.

Shared an apartment with the accused?

Yes. He moved with me after his failed marriage.

Know the circumstances in which the accused...

...he met the Governor Van Allan?

I introduced them.

Sharon's former student, was alone a long time.

One night, my boyfriend and I, who also works in the campaign...

...going to an act of Van Allan.

Sharon came with us. They met there.

After that meeting...

Mr. Van Allan and the accused began to have sex?

I do not know that firsthand.

Ms. Rooney called the governor regularly?

I do not know. No spy conversations of my friends.

The phone company itself.

Their records show that 37 calls were made...

...from his apartment to the office of governor from May to June.

All you did? Do not.

If it was not you, who? I do not know.

My boyfriend, maybe. I said it is also working on the campaign.

You have 22 gauge gun?

Yes. He did not denounce...

...six days before the murders that weapon...

...it had been stolen? Yes.

They took something else? Do not.

No forced entry? Do not.

The accused knew where you kept the gun?

I could not tell.

If you look at the test 47 on your monitor...

It could identify where the picture was taken?

At a clinic in Mar Vista.

He accompanied the accused to the clinic for an abortion is?

Yes.

He told the accused that the father was the governor Van Allan?

Yes.

Returning to one of your earlier answers, you do was aware...

...that the accused had relations with the governor.

You want to correct your answer? I knew they had an affair.

But I do not think I can do something.

He once said Sharon Rooney was angry...

...because Tom Van Allan pressured her to have an abortion?

He was upset. I just know that.

Nothing else.

His gun was not locked? Do not.

So it's possible that anyone else had access to it.

Clear.

In addition, Sharon hates guns.

Even after violations in our neighborhood did not want to buy me one.

If he knew where, or come close.

He heard ever threaten the governor...

...somehow during or after your relationship?

Never. Tom wanted.

Saying a moment ago that Sharon was upset...

...after the abortion, she thought she might have violent feelings?

No.

He even blamed herself more.

I have heard your message. What happens?

I did not want to talk on the phone. God knows who might be listening.

Jimmy, mira esto.

Workers repairing the walls found this in the outputs.

Microphones.

Send a signal to a receiver probably close.

I will make all local register.

Ted might have been?

It would surprise me. They have been installed recently.

This will only sell online from a year ago.

You have to locate Louis...

...and see when was the last time someone came maintenance.

Meanwhile, we suppose...

...someone searches for information on the defense.

The accusation? No, it's not like Miriam.

I would not surprise me that it was Roger Garfield.

Llamaré a Terry Philbrick.

If someone from the campaign Garfield knows he would sing...

...he already knows.

I was the director of the governor's campaign for Southern California.

He is coordinating their acts of speeches...

...press relations, policy issues.

Governor met the accused through you?

Yes. She and my girlfriend, Sally Vaughn, were roommates.

I knew the governor and the accused had an affair?

Yes. He knew the circumstances...

...in which he ended the relationship? Yes.

You can explicárnoslas?

Van Governor Allan called me into his office in late June.

He told me that his wife knew about his relationship with Sharon...

...and he insisted that it should be cut. He asked me to commission me.

You give him the bad news?

Yes. And how he took it?

No good. He was upset.

But still he gave him a place in the Van Allan campaign. Why?

When the governor learned she was pregnant with him...

...he wanted me to be good. I hired her to answer the phone.

What role did you have in Sharon's decision to abort?

I said I thought it was best for her...

...and I gave him money, Tom, to pay.

There was a noticeable change in his character...

...after the abortion?

He seemed more depressed and angry.

Mr. Van Allan with? That seemed to me.

Thank you. Nothing else. Mr. Wyler?

When he says that Sharon was angry to say...

...that the governor wanted to break the relationship...

She threatened him on occasion?

Not that I know.

I would say that his behavior was within normal...

...for someone who just left?

I protest. The witness is not a psychiatrist.

It has begun Mrs. Grasso. Overruled.

I would not have Sharon assigned to a post in the campaign...

...if I thought he would kill the governor, right?

Of course not.

Apart from organizing speeches and formulate policy...

It did not help in the love life of Tom Van Allan?

It was not her pimp, if that's what you mean.

Not insinuating anything.

Wonder if, as advisor to the governor...

...knew about his adventures had ended suddenly, no?

Yes. Once I had to...

...smooth things when there were problems...

...for not having called or when I did not want to see them?

It's possible. I do not remember anything specific.

Tom and treated women, no? They were throwaway.

I do not know if it was his way, but it was not the first time.

You know if ever received threatening letters or calls...

...voters upset, mad, people opposed to his policy?

Unfortunately, politics has come to that.

So you have a few people...

...glad to see that Tom Van Allan disappear.

From which he blamed for the ozone depletion...

...to the head of Mrs. Grasso, campaigning for his job.

I protest. I have no further questions. I have finished with the witness, Your Honor.

Start saving, Jimmy, because the loser pays.

And in my humble appearance...

...hides a hobby for good wine and restaurants.

Bye.

Yes?

Where are you?

Do not move. I'm coming. I see you at the office.

The bad news is he's dead.

It is good...

...you've saved you the moral dilemma of paying $ 25,000.

I hope that's the smell of death.

He is your friend?

We knew each other. What do you know about him?

Not much.

He was a spy campaign for Garfield.

The sympathy you feel for Garfield...

...you made friends you and the deceased?

You think has been an overdose?

Your friend was taking medication regularly through the nose?

We were not friends.

The next time you find a dead...

...the first call should be to the police...

...not your little friends lawyers.

It will happen...

...visiting us and then kills parties?

No. Will we take it to death.

Jimmy. Bring a chair. Come with us.

No thanks. Insurance? Malcolm pay.

His father was also proud.

But he and I leave aside our differences while.

I expect you to do the same. Sit down.

I'm not hungry right now.

That happens by choosing a lost case off your new career.

If you decide to go back to your old job, call me.

You have a bug in the soup, Rog.

I apologize for my friend.

His manners leave much to be desired.

I can assume that the prosecution will promote farce...

...that Philbrick committed suicide?

Now that you're at greater things, it's none of your business.

Or you go or ask you out of here.

Why do not you go to the street...

...and you solve your problem as men?

It is not the style of Roger.

Not yours.

It has been traffic and no disrespect...

...what made me wait? Always arrive half an hour before...

...to feel embarrassed and accuse me of late.

I came early to my cocktail.

The girl too late. He has a name, Mom.

What must your joy?

This came today by mail.

I said I wanted a loan because I want to start a business.

But you forgot to say that the house in which you were born...

...after 36 hours of labor...

...now it belongs to the bank that is owned by Dietrich.

Malcolm Dietrich is not the First California Bank owner.

It is one of the directors of the board.

That man has never been in any company...

...in which there has been a passive element.

Except perhaps in the sexual act.

Has arrived.

Laura Crimmins, my mother.

A pleasure, Mrs. Wyler. I've heard a lot about you.

You're as beautiful as she told me my son.

I'm sorry to be late.

The boss has kept me when I went and gave me good news.

I have risen and I have raised the salary.

Well deserved, for sure. What's your job?

I have made vice president of finance for First California Bank.

There is a problem?

God, no.

Dietrich just baptized vice whatever...

...and my son owes a horrendous amount.

Mom, let's leave. It's all coincidence?

It has nothing to do with going behind his puppet, Roger.

Laura does not have to put up with this.

I never thought I would see Dietrich sink his fangs into another generation.

Dietrich has not sunk his fangs anyone at this table.

I wanted a loan and my girlfriend has interceded...

...so I got period.

We can limit ourselves to enjoy our company and eat?

I've lost my appetite.

I think he likes you.

What the hell was that all about?

Say Malcolm Dietrich...

...and the Antichrist enjoy the same popularity in the Wyler house.

I can see that.

Summarizing the story...

...My father was a union organizer who went for Dietrich.

And things got tough at some point for my family.

Dietrich did with my father what he does with almost everyone.

He bribed.

My father died at age 54...

...and my mother calls Dietrich murderer since.

It's the dirty secret of the family.

We should not see that arrives home safely?

No no no. It will be OK.

So unless I left my job, I'm not going to Christmas dinner.

No, and it calmed down.

It will not be a problem for us in the long run?

Not at all.
