All language subtitles for Law & Order s20e09 For the Defense.eng

- In the criminal justice system,

The people are represented
by two separate

Yet equally important groups,

The police who investigate crime,

And the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

- The evidence will clearly show
that william avery

And taryn murdoch
were illicit lovers

Who conspired together to murder
mrs. Murdoch's husband

And collect his insurance.

You will hear from a witness

Who sold mr. Avery
the murder weapon.

You will also hear from
mr. Avery's former girlfriend,

To whom he drunkenly
bragged of his plan

To get rich by killing, quote,

"some rich, old guy
who was too dumb to live."

It will be your duty to send him
and his accomplice to prison

So we will all be safe
from their lethal stupidity.

- Defense
reserves its opening.

- Very well.

The people may
call their first witness.

Is there a problem,
mr. Cavanaugh?

- Um...

She's not here, your honor.

- Front desk says that she's
been a guest here for a week,

But I didn't
see her until today.

She comes out,
I ask her if she needs a cab,

All of a sudden a blue audi--

It was parked
right over there--

Starts up, drives over,
and just starts shooting.

You know,
bang, bang, bang, bang.

She goes down, car takes off,
goes around the corner.

- You catch a plate?

- Yeah.
It was new york.

I missed the last
couple of numbers, though.

Sorry.

- Okay, thanks.

- She took one to the face,
one to the body.

- Shooter got a pigeon, too.

- Yeah.

Two shell casings.
Forty-fives.

There might be some more around.
- Detective?

- Ah, thanks.

Maggie hayes.
Address in the bronx.

- So why was
she staying here?

- Max cavanaugh. Manhattan d.A.

- You're a little early.

I don't think we're ready
to arrest anybody yet.

- She was supposed
to testify for me today.

Murder case.

- So she's staying here
to hide from somebody.

- Her ex-boyfriend's
one of the defendants,

Made some crazy threats.

She lived and worked
in the bronx, so we figured

Putting her in manhattan
was good enough.

This doesn't do my case any good.

- Sorry about that.

Her ex--any way he would
know she was staying here?

- I told her not to tell anyone.

- Maybe a little birdie told him.

- Maggie was crazy, man.

She partied hard,
got high, gambled.

There was
this bar in greenpoint

She would hang out at
after work.

I'd meet her there, see her
with a whole lot of low-lifes.

That's why
I broke up with her.

- Because you disapproved
of her lifestyle.

- That why you said,
after you got arrested,

That you'd
kill her skanky ass?

- That was
an emotional day for me.

- Mr. Avery and I

Are as shocked as anyone
by this tragic death.

- Happier than most
though, I bet.

Maggie was going to finger
you as a killer, will.

- I didn't have
nothing to do with this.

- Just like you didn't
have anything to do

With the murder
you're on trial for.

- We're not here to talk
about his current trial.

Which, by the way,
he was attending

When ms. Hayes was killed.

I'm no detective,

But that seems to me like
a pretty good alibi.

- yeah?

- Um, rtcc ran
your partial license plate.

A hundred--mm.

- Good sandwich, loo?

- I got my appetite back
for the first time in six weeks.

I'm taking advantage.
Here.

Now there are a hundred
possible matches for the plate.

Not one is an audi.

So the doorman either got
the make wrong, or the number.

What do you have?

- Well, william avery's told us
he used to meet maggie hayes

After work
at a bar in greenpoint.

According to the case d.A.,
maggie worked in the bronx.

- Well, that's a long way
from greenpoint.

That bar must have
one hell of a happy hour.

- Or maggie lied to the d.A.

Her employer of record was
a payroll service in the bronx,

But she actually worked at
amstrad shipping, in brooklyn.

- Shipping?

There're
docks in greenpoint.

Ooh, and there is
this bakery down there

That makes
an amazing key lime pie...

- We're on it.

- I still can't believe it.

When I heard about maggie...

- You knew her pretty well,
ms. Regan?

- Paige.
We ran the office together.

Maggie was really, uh,
lively.

Mr. Rainey,
these are detectives.

- Hello. Bart rainey.
You're here about maggie.

It was that
scumbag boyfriend, wasn't it?

- You heard about that?

- I knew she was
testifying against him.

I knew she was scared.

She took off from here,
disappeared.

- You didn't
know where she was?

- Nobody did.

- Somebody did.

- She didn't tell me.

- Mr. Rainey.

What kind of business is this?

- Uh, we export used cars
to latin america.

They love 'em down there.

Looks like business
is kind of slow.

- A shipment just went out.

The recession's actually
a good time for us.

Three-car families cutting
down to two, you know?

- '95 eddie bauer bronco,
right?

I used to have one of those
in college.

V8, skyjacker lift kit...

Is it for sale?

- Only if you can do better than
35,000 argentinean pesos.

- How much is that?
- Nine grand.

Told you.
They love 'em down there.

- I'll check my piggy bank.
Thanks, guys.

- You get the numbers?

- Yep.

Think I fooled him?

- Nope.

- We ran the bronco's plate.

It's supposed
to be on a miata.

- Mismatched plates.

Just like the blue audi
the shooter was driving.

- So maybe our doorman
wasn't wrong after all.

- We did a little digging...

Turns out the feds
have mr. Rainey on their radar

As an associate
of the pantano family.

Loan sharking, extortion...

- And now, exporting
stolen cars to latin america.

- Well, not exactly.

We ran the bronco's vin.

It was turned in under
the cash for clunkers program.

- So it was supposed
to be destroyed.

- Yeah, it got a reprieve.

It's going
to buenos aires instead.

- Whole point was to get these
gas guzzlers off our streets.

Mr. Rainey figured out a way
to put 'em on somebody else's.

- That's creative.

Ozone gets messed up
down there,

It's still going to bite us
in the ass up here, right?

- Could be rainey was worried

Maggie hays
would spill the beans.

He knew she was talking
to cops and d.A.S.

- But he said he didn't
know where she was staying at.

- Not a clue.

- And he wouldn't lie,
right?

- Check the hotel's
surveillance video.

Thanks.

- There. She's
getting dinner again.

- That's...
Tuesday night.

She had spaghetti carbonara
and german chocolate cake.

- Mm.

No visitors.
She never went out.

- She watched
a lot of pay-per-view.

And room service
three times a day.

- Looks like that guy's
getting some room service too.

Hey...

Hold up, slow it down.

- Is that rainey?

- Blow it up.

- Not exactly.

Paige regan.
Maggie's friend from the office,

Who didn't know
where maggie was.

- Yeah.

Liar liar, pants on fire.

- Ms. Regan...

- Oh. Hey, mr. Rainey's
still inside

If you want to talk to--

- Actually, we're
here to talk to you.

- Well, I told you
everything I know.

- Like, for example,

You had no idea
where maggie was hiding.

- Look, I have a boyfriend.

The thing with maggie,
it was kind of on the down low.

- How did maggie
feel about that?

You two maybe
have a lovers' quarrel?

- No. My god.

Look, she was lonely
in that hotel, so she called me.

- We can check
your phone records, ms. Regan,

And see who called who.

Who else
knew maggie was there?

- Did you tell your boss?

- Mr. Rainey?
- Yes. Mr. Rainey.

And did he ever drive
a blue audi, by the way?

- I don't know. Why?

- That's what
maggie's killer was driving.

my god...

I can't talk to you.
I have to go.

- She kept looking
at the warehouse

Like rainey was going
to come out and bite her.

- With a .45.

She knows it was him.

She also knows what happens
to people who talk about him.

- So we have a witness,
but she won't talk.

What about
the famous blue audi?

- It's on the
m.V. Herman melville--

It's a cargo ship.

It took on 87 cars
from amstrad shipping

A few hours after the murder.

Among them--a 1999 audi a6.

Color, blue.

- Where is it now?

- In the caribbean.

A day out of
barranquilla, colombia.

You want us
to hop down there?

It's getting
pretty chilly around here.

- Save your sunblock.

- Nypd intel
has a detective in bogotá.

- I'll get you a sweater.

- We found the audi.
It's our murder car.

- And it's in south america?

- In the personal custody
of nypd detective kevin dolan.

Colombian authorities
seized it at his request.

He searched it and found

A .45-calibre shell casing
under a floor mat.

- He uploaded it
into atf's e-trace system.

It matches the shell casings
at the crime scene.

- So now all we have
to do is put bart rainey

In that car at
the time of the murder.

- We think we have
someone who can do that.

- That would be
the victim's lesbian lover

Who's too scared to testify.

- We were thinking we would
make her too scared not to.

This is the ship's manifest.

Look at the signature.

- "paige regan."

So ms. Regan is on
the hook for grand larceny.

Not to mention
enterprise corruption--

- ...Falsifying
business records, and fraud.

That adds up
to about 75 years

Unless you tell us
what you know.

- He'll kill me.

- Rainey?
Like he killed maggie?

Have a seat.

- He told me
to find out where she was.

He said he had
to see her about some problem

With the books
and I...I believed him.

I called her up
and made a date.

I wanted
to see her anyway.

- So you told rainey
where she was.

The next day,
when maggie was killed...

I thought
it was her old boyfriend.

That's what I told myself.

Then you told me
about the blue car.

Rainey drove it
that afternoon.

- The afternoon that
maggie was shot.

- There's a lawyer out there

Who says
he represents ms. Regan.

I said I'd see if there
was anyone in here by that name.

- I didn't send for a lawyer.

- Wait here.

- You remember mr. Woll?

- Sure.

Heroic lawyer of
the mexican drug cartel.

- He said he understood
there was a paige regan here.

- Really? How did
you understand that?

- She didn't
come to work today.

Her employer was concerned,

He called her apartment
and her roommate said

The police had taken her.

- Her employer, mr. Rainey.

- That's right.
Is she here?

- Mr. Rainey must have gotten
some bad information.

- Well, then.

Sorry to bother you.

- He's probably going right
back to rainey to report.

- Yeah, well, we could
have asked him for a ride.

- I could
have given you a ride.

- Another time.

- Stand up.

You're under arrest for
the murder of maggie hayes.

- Whatever paige
told you, she's lying.

- You have the right
to remain silent.

You have the right
to an attorney --

- We've got
that covered, thanks.

- Okay, mr. Woll,
what do we have?

- A flagrant abuse of
prosecutorial power, your honor.

- Again? Not
like when you were a d.A., eh?

- I'm afraid
those golden days are gone.

A motion to suppress
all evidence found

Inside a blue
audi automobile.

- This automobile was searched
in colombia, south america?

- Under a judicial order

Obtained from
a competent local authority.

- Any such order is tainted.

That entire country
is irredeemably corrupt.

- Mr. Woll may be generalizing
from the latin americans

He hangs out with,
your honor.

But there's no evidence
of corruption in this case.

- An nypd detective was involved
every step of the way.

We have his affidavit and
can fly him up to testify.

- Unless you have
something specific, mr. Woll,

The motion is denied.

- Win some, lose some,
eh, guys?

I guess I'm just gonna have to
beat you the old-fashioned way.

- Nice to see you
again too, marcus.

- Frankly, mike,
you I can take or leave,

But connie...
When are you going to leave

These bureaucrats
and come work for my firm?

- Oh, I really couldn't say.

- Ooh...Heartbreaker.

Hey, look, I know
you're not obligated,

But I'd love to get

A pre-trial peek at
your witness, ms. Regan.

Just ask a few questions.

Your setting,
your ground rules.

- No offense,
but the last time you beat us

The old-fashioned way,
it was because

Our main witness
was terrified out of testifying

By the murder
of one of his friends.

You can peek at
ms. Regan all you want

When she takes the stand.

- Gin.

I hate this stupid game.

what happens
to me after the trial?

- Well, the d.A.
Looks at the situation--

If rainey
was convicted or not,

If he's still a threat
to you or not.

- Are you going to move me
to some little town

In north dakota?

I don't know
how to grow wheat.

- Speaking of nature...
Excuse me.

- Does he have a girlfriend?

- I thought
you had a girlfriend.

- hey. I got it.

- How we doing?

- Great.

- I just need to go
over a few things

With ms. Regan
about her testimony...

- Go nuts.

- How are you doing?

- I've gained seven pounds.

You want some ice cream?

- You're doing
the right thing, paige.

Do you mind
if I turn this tv down?

- room service.

- Whoa, whoa,
wait, wait, wait.

- It's just room service.
- No, no, no, no.

- Hey!
- Wait, paige!

- Hey, you hit?
- Go!

- Police! Get down!
Get down!

Police!
Stay down!

- Where are we going?
- A different hotel.

- Wait. No. Why?

- For one thing, it's obviously
not safe for you here.

- No. I want
to get out of town.

- No one will know
where we're taking you.

- No one was supposed
to know I was here.

Take me to the port authority.
Or I'll walk.

How much more dangerous
can it be?

- Get in the car.
I'll take you wherever you want.

Okay?
Please, thank you.

looks like
I'm taking a drive.

- Yeah...Shooting team's
waiting for me upstairs.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

- Detective lupo drove her to
her sister's house in watertown.

- Will she come back
for the trial?

- She says no.

We can try and convince her

Or arrest her
as a material witness.

- Are you sure
you're all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

It all happened so fast I barely
knew what was going on.

- Look, I mean, if you need
some time off...

- I want to keep working.

- What about the shooter?

- He was a freelancer
from out of town.

We're still looking
for connections.

- And he knew that paige regan
was in that hotel how?

- We don't know.

Nobody knew except you
and me and the detectives.

- Now we all we need
is another witness

Who can tell us
what paige knew

About the murder
of maggie hayes,

About rainey's business,

About his being
in the murder car...

- People aren't exactly lining
up to testify against him.

He kills one witness,
nearly kills another.

- Did somebody tell rainey that
maggie was ratting him out?

Someone who might've known
that rainey would kill her?

- Someone like william avery.

- It was certainly in his
interest for her to be killed.

- So you think avery
slipped word to rainey

That maggie was ratting him out
so that rainey would kill her?

- What do you think?

- I think that's about
50 I.Q. Points too high

For will avery.

He was convicted after the d.A.
Found a video of himself

He put on youtube waving
the murder weapon around.

I tried to get it excluded.

Here's my motion.

- So the d.A. Didn't even
need maggie hayes' testimony?

- It wouldn't
have helped him anyway.

I knew she worked for rainey,
and I know who rainey is.

If she took the stand,

I was going to slam her
on cross

With the fact that
she worked for a mobster.

- You were going to expose
rainey in open court?

- She worked for a crook,
which made her a crook.

Her testimony
would have been worthless.

- Did you mention
this plan to rainey?

- No.

- This motion you filed,
it's quite a treatise.

Since when do you guys
at legal aid have the time?

- I had an outside consultant.

A defense lawyer in
a private practice volunteered

To do some pro bono work.

- Did he or she know

That you were planning
to expose bart rainey?

- I guess.

He used to work for you guys,
you probably know him.

- Marcus woll?

- Every case this guy touches,
someone drops dead.

He got involved
in the will avery case

'cause he wanted to find out
what maggie was saying.

When he learned that
her testimony

Was gonna mean trouble
for bart rainey,

He reported
back to rainey...

Maggie got killed.

- What about the attempt
to kill paige regan?

Rainey didn't
need woll to tell him

She was going
to testify against him.

- No. But he needed woll
to tell him where to find her.

- How would woll know that?

- When I worked with him
when he was an a.D.A.,

We used a few hotels
to hide witnesses.

I used one of those hotels
to hide paige.

- So woll told rainey
where to look.

Woll's a serial killer,

And he used to work for us.

Apply for a warrant

To bug his conversations
with mr. Rainey.

- You want to eavesdrop
on an attorney's conversations

With his client?

- When they're
plotting murders together,

That's an exception to
the attorney-client privilege.

- Well, a situation like this,

The probable cause
had better be pretty damn good.

I'm not seeing very much.

- That's because until now,
mr. Woll's criminal behavior

Has been shielded by
attorney-client privilege.

- Catch-22.
I loved that book.

I'm still going to
need to see something more.

- How'd it go with the judge?

I've been working in
this building for 17 years.

If someone goes to a judge
ex parte about something

That concerns me,
I hear about it.

- False alarm, marcus.

This had nothing
to do with you, okay?

- You know, when I was
an assistant district attorney,

I won 102 convictions.

I put an awful lot of people
in jail.

You remember, connie?

- We only
worked together briefly.

- Right.

If word got around--
somehow--

That I was the kind of lawyer
who crossed the line...

That I was dirty...

How long do you think
it would be before

102 attorneys popped up
with 102 motions

To overturn every one
of my convictions?

Do you really have that kind of
spare time on your hands?

- The balls on this guy,
blackmailing us.

- It's pretty
good blackmail too.

Do we really want
to deal with the appeals

From everybody woll
ever put away?

- We're not going
to let a killer go free

Because we're afraid of
a little paperwork.

- On second thought...

All these are woll's cases?

- A sampling.
- Okay, it's a nightmare.

Was he dirty
when he worked for us?

- That's hard to say.

There's more than
one defense witness

Who didn't
show up for trial.

- Defense witnesses--

The killer's mother,
his drug addict girlfriend--

They tend not to
have perfect attendance records.

- There was this case
I worked with woll,

Like my first month
on the job.

He convicted
alvin jackson of murder.

- Alvin "mad dog" jackson,
the drug lord.

- That case
made woll's reputation.

- The defense
had an eyewitness--

A pharmacist named
henry lovett,

Who swore someone else
committed the murder.

Well, lovett never
showed up for trial.

- I wonder why.

- Lovett...

Oh.
- What?

- Two years after the trial,

A decomposed body turned up
in a construction site.

- henry lovett.

- Two years after the trial...
No one made the connection.

- It might not be too late.
Call the police.

- It was one of eddie rice's
boys who did it.

That pharmacist saw.
He would have cleared me.

- Eddie rice?

- Yeah, eddie rice.
He wanted in on my territory.

But see, the police
didn't want to hear that.

And that guy
who prosecuted me, woll--

He definitely
didn't want to hear.

- Did you know
the pharmacist was dead?

- Of course he's dead.

Where you think he's been
for the last five years,

On vacation in France?
- Mm.

So eddie rice got him killed
to protect himself

And have you sent away...

- Well, now you're detecting.

It's too little too late.

Well, eddie's dead too.

- My husband
was such a good citizen.

He had to tell the truth.

Do you really
think you're going to

Figure this out
after five years?

- I really think
we're going to try.

When was the last time
you saw your husband?

- He was supposed to testify
on a Monday morning.

And on that Friday,

He saw some
suspicious characters

Hanging around
the front of our building.

So my husband decided
to spend the weekend

With some cousins in queens.

Just to be safe.

He took
a walk Sunday night.

He never came back.

- And the fact that
he was in queens,

He kept that a secret?

- I mean,
that was the point.

I didn't tell anybody
where he was.

Except someone from
the district attorney's office.

They called
and said they wanted

To arrange protection for him.

I thought that would
be all right.

- Someone from the district
attorney's office?

Do you remember who that was?

- I wrote down the name.

- This witness, lovett, was
going to wreck woll's big case.

- Yeah, but somebody
called the wife

And found out
where lovett was hiding.

- And got word to eddie rice,
who had the witness killed.

It's the same m.O.

Woll's done it
over and over again.

- Except woll wasn't
the one that called the wife.

- Then who?

Your partner.

- Thanks.

- I was helping five lawyers
with ten cases.

It was my first month
on the job.

I made a hundred phone calls.

- So you didn't remember.

- I didn't.
But now I do.

Woll asked me to find out
where the witness was.

He said he wanted to talk
to him before he testified.

- Not to offer protection?

That's what the widow said.

Woll told me to say that.

He said that she'd be

More likely
to tell me where he was.

I got that man killed,
didn't I?

- No.
Marcus woll did that.

What do we have on him?

- An accomplice.
Rainey.

Maybe he'll roll.

- My lawyer's not here yet.
I don't talk without him.

- He wasn't invited.

- Don't you guys
know the rules?

- You don't have
to say anything.

Just nod.

- You killed maggie hayes and
you tried to kill paige regan.

- I ain't nodding to that.

- You were aided and abetted
by your attorney, mr. Woll.

Now tell us about it and
there's a deal on the table.

- You want me
to roll on marcus?

Why would I do that?

Maggie's dead
and paige is gone.

And I got
a real good lawyer.

If you'll excuse me,
it's time for my massage.

- Thank you, mr. Rainey.

- Okay, woll kills or tries
to kill three witnesses.

The pattern is consistent,
but there's no evidence

Because he murders
the evidence.

- What if the pattern
is the evidence?

- Legally, it isn't.
- Usually not.

But if we get multiple murders
in front of a jury,

They won't split legal hairs,
they'll convict.

- Which is why no decent judge
would let it go to a jury.

- No decent judge?

So it's 50-50.

- Thank you for joining us.

You have about
ten seconds left to respond

To mr. Woll's motion to dismiss
the charge against his client.

Do you have
any proffer of evidence?

- Not at the moment,
your honor.

- Well, then you leave me
no choice but to order--

- Marcus woll,
you're under arrest

For the murders of margaret
hayes and henry lovett,

And the attempted
murder of paige regan.

- Hang on, you've got
to be kidding me, right?

- Nope.

- You were about to rule,
your honor?

- I don't think this is
the time.

- My troubles shouldn't
be taken out on my client.

Now, if you
were going to dismiss--

- Fair enough.
Hold it there, please.

The murder charge
against mr. Rainey

Is dismissed
without prejudice.

You can bring it again
if you develop new evidence.

- thank you, your honor.

I'll have a motion
on my own behalf later today.

- Yeah.
Let's go.

- The three crimes
charged span five years?

- Mr. Woll
is the common thread.

- Are you alleging that
he conspired with mr. Rainey?

- Only on the two
more recent crimes.

- You just
dismissed against rainey.

How can
my client have conspired

With someone
who didn't do anything?

- There's a pattern
to these crimes, a signature.

- This alleged pattern's
all they have,

One charge
bootstrapping another.

There's no evidence.

- The arraignment
judge apparently agreed.

Your bail
came quick and easy.

Mr. Cutter, this concatenation
does seem a stretch.

The indictment is
a bit cobbled together.

- We'll amend it, then.

To a single charge of conspiracy
to murder henry lovett.

- Conspiracy with whom?

Some deceased drug dealer?

A person can't
conspire with himself.

- There is
a co-conspirator who's alive

And willing to cooperate with
the prosecution.

- Oh, who?

- Me.

- You're naming yourself
as a co-conspirator?

- I am.
I was one.

- Then this hearing
is adjourned pending

A superseding indictment.

Mr. Woll,
your bail is continued.

Ms. Rubirosa,
I suggest you retain counsel.

- Connie, connie,
you don't want to do this.

- You saw what was happening.

That son of a bitch
was about to skate.

- So we'll find another way.

- We don't need another way.
We have a way.

- You too, mike?

- Me too what?

- Oh, come on.
She's still hot as hell.

- What are you talking about?

- Just do it.

I did.

- Woll claims
that he and connie had a...

Sexual relationship.

He did everything but
show me the dirty pictures.

- Did you ask her?
- No.

Even that would
be crossing the line.

I don't have sex
with people I work with,

And I don't ask them
about their sex lives.

We're supposed to be smarter
than that here, aren't we?

I mean, who'd put themselves
in a situation like that?

- You mean, besides me?

- It's worse
for a woman, jack.

Sleeping with the teacher,
sleeping with the boss.

It demeans them.

Calls into question
everything they accomplish.

- So she deserves
extra credit

For stepping forward,
doesn't she?

I assume you still
find her competent.

- Of course I do.

But we're colleagues,
we're not...Lovers.

That's the way
it's supposed to be.

- Yeah, you could say
that me and eddie rice

Were having problems.

- Did those problems involve
the illegal distribution

Of marijuana and cocaine?

- Yeah.
That was my business.

And eddie tried
to take part of it.

And to prove his point,
he killed my second in command.

- And what happened then?

- I'd been in the papers.

"uptown drug kingpin,"
stuff like that.

Mr. Woll there,
he came after me.

- He prosecuted you
for the murder

Of your own lieutenant?

- Oh, he got me too.

Made a pretty
nice little headline.

- Well, did you try
to convince mr. Woll

That he was prosecuting
the wrong person?

- Oh, yeah.

We even found him a witness
who saw it wasn't me.

And he was going to testify.
Until he got killed.

- Thank you.

- Mr. Jackson, you are currently
serving a prison sentence

Of 25 years to life because
you were tried and convicted

Of murder, is that correct?

- That's correct.

- I think that's all
we need to know.

- The other side's
gonna bring up

Your relationship
with woll.

- I know.

- And I'm wide open to ideas
on how to handle that one.

- Jump into a time machine
and make it never happen?

- I never
would have thought.

- What?

- You and woll.

- It's life, mike.
Things happen.

- It was dumb.
You're not dumb.

- Thank you.

You know, maybe somebody else
should be handling this trial.

- I'm afraid
you're stuck with me.

- Then we should
probably get back to work.

- Okay.

So how to deal
with your relationship

With the defendant....

- Tell the truth.
Keep it brief.

And move the focus
back to the crime.

Isn't that what
you taught me to do

When we have
a damaged witness?

- Yeah.

- Give you a lift?

I think we're going
to the same place.

- No. Thanks.

- We're co-conspirators,
connie.

It seems only natural
we should spend time together.

- Oh, on the day that I'm going
to testify against you?

Are you planning to have me
shot like the others?

- You don't have
to go through with this.

It isn't going
to do you any good.

- Marcus, you have no idea

How much good
this is going to do me.

- It's tragic, connie.

You know this whole thing
is breaking someone's heart?

- Yours?
I don't think so.

- Not mine.
Poor mike cutter.

He never realized
you were available.

- Mr. Lovett was scheduled
to testify on Monday morning.

On Friday, mr. Woll asked me
to call mr. Lovett's wife

And find out
where he was hiding.

He told me he wanted
to arrange an interview.

- Is that what
you told mrs. Lovett?

- No.

At mr. Woll's suggestion,

I told her we wanted to arrange
protection for her husband.

She told me
where he was hiding,

And I passed that
information on to mr. Woll.

- And how did
you spend the time

Between Friday afternoon
and Monday morning?

- Working on
the case with mr. Woll.

These are my notes
from that weekend.

- Do they show
any effort by mr. Woll

To arrange an interview
with mr. Lovett?

- No.

- So he asked you
to find mr. Lovett

So he could talk to him,
but after you found him

He never
tried to talk to him?

- No. He didn't.

- Didn't that strike you
as odd at the time?

Especially after
he told you to lie?

- It should have, but
there was a lot going on...

And when mr. Lovett
didn't show up anyway,

It all seemed moot.

- He didn't show up
because he was dead.

- I didn't know
that then, but yes.

- What else did mr. Woll
ask you to do that weekend?

- To work on a draft
of his closing statement.

He wanted it ready
for Monday morning.

- Monday morning?

Wasn't that when mr. Lovett
was supposed to testify?

- Yes.

- So mr. Woll
almost seemed to know

That mr. Lovett
wasn't going to be there.

- Objection.
Leading the witness.

- Sustained.

- No further questions.

- Ms. Rubirosa,
you're a district attorney,

But you have come forward
to identify yourself

As a co-conspirator in
the murder of henry lovett.

- An unindicted
co-conspirator.

- So you have not
been charged with a crime,

But you make it possible
to accuse mr. Woll.

He couldn't be
charged with conspiracy

Unless there was
someone he conspired with.

- That's right.

- Even for
a hard-core prosecutor,

That's going
the extra mile, isn't it?

You really want to
get mr. Woll, don't you?

- No more than I want
to get any other murderer.

- Really?

How many other accused murderers
have you slept with?

- Objection. Relevance.

- Withdrawn.

Ms. Rubirosa,
on that busy long-ago weekend

When you were
tracking down witnesses

And drafting summations,

Did you also
have sex with mr. Woll?

It might not
be in your notes there.

- No.

- Have you ever
had sex with mr. Woll?

- Once or twice.
But it was a mistake.

- A mistake.
Are you making up for it now?

- There's
nothing to make up.

- Really?
How did the affair end?

- I came to my senses.

- You realized that you--
a young, eager, new prosecutor--

Had been taken advantage of
by an older hand?

- That wasn't it.
- Really?

Isn't this whole trial
a chance for you to get even?

- There's
nothing to get even for.

I'd practically
forgotten about it.

It wasn't that memorable.

- She was busy.
And distracted.

I tried to contact mr. Lovett
several times over that weekend.

I didn't realize
I should have made her

Put it in her notes.

- Did you arrange
to have mr. Lovett murdered?

- No, of course not.

I didn't even know he was dead
until this case arose.

I knew I wasn't
ms. Rubirosa's favorite person,

But I really never thought
she'd go this far.

- You think
she's making it up?

- No, I think
she may actually believe it.

That's what's really scary
here.

- Mr. Woll,

I refer you to your office
and home phone records

For the weekend preceding
mr. Lovett's disappearance.

Could you show us where
it indicates

That you telephoned him?

- Yeah, it's not there.

I may have wandered down
the hallway for some privacy.

There are about a hundred
phones in the d.A.'s office.

- But there are several calls
here to the home of eddie rice.

Did you call to tell him
where he could find

And kill mr. Lovett?

- No.

I don't exactly remember,

But if I called him
it was probably acting on

A suggestion of
the defendant's to investigate

Another theory of the crime.

- The weekend
before your summation?

Wasn't that letting it
go pretty late?

- We were still at trial.

- Right.

You and ms. Rubirosa,

Who you think is delusional.

- I don't know.
I'm not a psychiatrist.

- Well, if she
was unstable even then,

Maybe she called eddie rice

And told him where
to find henry lovett.

I mean, she knew
where he was, right?

- Why would
she have done that?

- Well, to help you.

To get you what you wanted--
a conviction.

Maybe she was
in love with you.

- I think
at one point she was.

- Well, in that case,

Maybe the two of you
were in it together.

She wasn't
an unwitting co-conspirator,

But an equal partner.

And she should be charged
here right along with you.

- Nobody should be
charged here,

Because nobody
murdered anybody.

- Well, somebody murdered
henry lovett.

And no one
knew where he was,

Except you
and ms. Rubirosa.

- Okay, have it your way.

She did it.

I don't murder witnesses.

- Is that a fact?

Did you ever hear
of a woman named maggie hayes?

Or one named paige regan?
- Objection.

We are getting beyond
the scope of this trial,

And extremely prejudicial.

- Mr. Woll opened
the door by claiming

That he doesn't
murder witnesses.

- Indeed he did.

Objection is overruled.

- Yes.
I've heard of them.

- Isn't it true that
maggie hayes and paige regan

Were witnesses against
your client bart rainey,

And that one of them
was murdered,

And an attempt was
made to murder the other?

- Your honor, there's about five
different questions in there.

- Well, I'll make it very simple
for you then, mr. Woll.

Why is it that witnesses
opposing your interests

Have a consistent
habit of getting killed?

- Your honor...
- Withdrawn.

Now let's begin by
talking about maggie hayes...

- Cheesy, cutter.

But you managed to get
your pattern in after all.

- Jury went for it too,
did you notice?

- Drop this case and
we'll give you something real.

- Well, I thought
this case was real.

- By your own theory,
I've never shot anybody.

I've never even
carried a gun.

- But mr. Rainey has,
and mr. Rainey did.

- You'll give us rainey?

- Everything you need.
Murder and attempted murder.

- Mr. Woll gets a walk.
But you get a stone cold killer.

- You know what?

I think I'd rather make the deal
with the stone cold killer.

I'm sure mr. Rainey will find
this very interesting listening.

We cut a deal
with rainey for 12 to 14.

He gives us woll
on a platter.

- They'll be
together in attica.

Charming.

- The appeals for
the people woll convicted

Are already coming in.

We'll have another hundred
by the weekend.

You two will have
to work together day and night.

That won't
be a problem, will it?
