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.

Bring home some
root beer if you can.

Thank you, baby.

Hey, jaden, finish your cereal.

Gotta change.

Breathe easy, jay.

Saturday we going down to the park

For some spring training.

We'll bring your inhaler.
You'll be fine.

Right?

Derek jeter better watch his back.

Now don't forget about the
special trip we have planned.

And don't tell mom.

That's my boy.

He stumbled in here a
little after 6:00.

Collapsed before he
could get a word out.

Presented with a knife wound.

- Any other injuries?
- No.

Just a stab wound.

But it was deep enough

To pierce his liver and
sever his hepatic vein.

So somebody wanted him dead.

Well, they got their wish.

Thank you.

Patient outside having a smoke

Said she saw our guy
get dropped off.

The driver sped away.

The car was old and blue.

Speaking of cars, set
of keys to a ford.

He's still wearing his
wedding ring and watch.

Yeah, and about
$800 worth of cash.

Jerome turner.
Bronx address.

Wife and kid.

Happy family.

Sub by Adri_CSI www.

Jerome didn't come
home from his job

At the bottling plant.

I kept trying his cell,
but he didn't pick up.

We're very sorry, mrs.
Turner.

Any ideas about where he
was, who he was with?

I really don't know.

Wait in your room for mommy.

I'll be right in.

Did he have any problems
we should know about?

People he didn't get along with?
- No.

I mean, money's always been tight.

I give piano lessons to
help make ends meet.

Jerome is a wonderful man.

And he's a good father to jaden.

At what time did you
speak to him last?

In the afternoon.

He said he might be late.

There was a problem in
queens on the "e" train.

He didn't drive to work?

We don't own a car.

There were a set of keys
in his pocket for a ford.

We don't know anybody
who has a ford.

- Mom!
- I gotta go see my boy.

- Of course.
- Hmm.

Works in queens,
lives in the bronx,

But bleeds to death in
a midtown hospital.

With somebody else's
keys in his pocket.

Huh.

Mr. Wonderful's been keeping
secrets from his wife.

Jerome didn't work yesterday.

He's only been on two shifts
a week since the holidays.

Why'd he get his hours cut?

The bosses say we're
bleeding money here.

I felt terrible cutting him back.

He didn't tell his wife about it.

He probably didn't
want to upset her.

He told me she's a worrier.

You know if he found other work?

Nah. He kept pressing me
to put him back full-time.

I let him know he'd
be the first guy back

If things turned around.

Whenever that is.

The turners were up-to-date
on rent and utilities.

There was cash coming in

From something besides the
wife's piano lessons.

The something that maybe got mr.
Turner killed.

Any leads off his cell phone?

Uh, still working through
his calls for that day.

The weird thing is the
calls ping from towers

All over the place.

In the space of 52
minutes, he's in queens,

Harlem, downtown.

- He was on the move.
- Yeah.

Check if he has a hack license.

The keys in his pocket
are for a crown vic.

There's nothing in the
tlc under jerome turner.

But a lot of those guys
drive without a license.

- Call the desk at the 3
-1.

Have their sector cars call
in any idle yellow cabs

With no driver inside.

Right.

We spotted it about ten minutes

After we heard the radio run.

Lady who lives in
that building told us

It was parked here overnight.

Well, let's see if
we're in business.

All right, good work.

We got it from here.

Get the trunk.
- Yeah.

Cornell beverage.

Well, there's no
blood on the inside,

Which means jerome was stabbed

Somewhere between here
and the hospital.

Maybe his last fare knows
why he left his cab here.

If we're lucky,
he used a credit card.

I didn't know jerome very well.

I just rented him my cab.

Even though he didn't
have a hack license?

Well, I kept telling him he
had to take care of that.

A license was the least
of his problems.

He have any bad habits?

Gambling, maybe.

A few days ago,

He said he wasn't gonna
have to drive anymore.

He was gonna come
into a lot of money.

Yeah, I'm here.

Thank you.

Somebody used a credit
card in the morning,

But after that, nothing.

Any idea why jerome
left it in chelsea?

No.

I wanted to get it back early,

But he said he had to pick
his kid up at school.

He left every day in
his company jacket

Like everything was fine.

I guess jerome was too
proud to tell me.

Is there any reason
you didn't tell us

That jaden was in the cab with
him the day he was killed?

What?
No, jaden was in school.

We checked with the school.

His father picked him up at noon

And brought him back
a few hours later.

You have any idea where they went?

- No.
- He also told some people

That he was going to be
coming into some money.

You know anything about that?

No.
It doesn't make any sense.

Okay.
Can I speak to your son?

Can you show me jerome's
calendar again, please?

Thanks.

Hey.

What are you making, jaden?

A machine that makes dogs
and horses and robots.

Hmm.
Nice.

Listen, I wanted
to tell you that...

I'm sorry about what
happened to your father.

He's never coming back.

Yeah.

Is it okay if I ask you
some questions about him?

Do you remember when
he picked you up

At your school in his cab?

He got me ice cream.

Oh, well, you must have done
something pretty special

To get ice cream.

Dad said I can't tell.

It was gonna be a
surprise for my mom.

I promised.

Jaden.

You know that what
happened to your dad

Wasn't your fault, right?

But you can help your
mother right now.

Where did your dad take you
before he bought the ice cream?

Into a building.

With an office.

Were there other people there?

A man.

He was big.

He hurt you?

He put a q-tip inside my
mouth and rubbed it around.

Right here?

On the inside of your cheek?

Then what did he do?
- Nothing.

He talked with my dad,
and then we left.

You know what, jaden?

Your dad would be
really proud of you.

Thank you.
- Thanks.

He took a swab for dna.

Maybe jerome was running a
paternity test on his kid.

Yeah, his kid...
Or somebody else's.

Looks like one secret too many.

A dna test can be
for a lot of things.

A dna test he was
hiding from his wife.

Right, maybe he was hoping

To jack the biological
father up for money.

That was the payday
he was expecting.

I'll talk to mrs.
Turner.

Speak to the boy again.

The vending machine downstairs

Just got some fresh gummi bears.

It's okay if you
want to have one.

My mom would want me to
wait until after dinner.

I don't want her to be mad at me.

I hear you.

I'm sure she's proud of you
for telling the truth, right?

I did.

The man that your
father took you to see,

Do you remember his name?

No.

He talked about hot dogs.

The big man?

He said nathan's, the hot dogs.

What did he say about them?

Nothing.
He just said natn's.

Hmm.

Jerome and I were
married for ten years.

I never looked at another man.

Is there any other
reason jerome might want

To test jaden's dna?

Jaden is jerome's son.

You can test him yourself.

Was there any reason

Your husband would be
suspicious or jealous?

No.

Believe me, if jaden did
have another father,

I'd be hting him up for
child support right now.

Do you know anyone by
the name of nathan?

No.

I don't know what
jerome was thinking.

I ran the name by her.

No reaction.

Well, still,
nathan could be the man

Jerome thought was his
son's real father.

Yeah, jerome already had a
bloodhound on the case.

His cell records show
a call two weeks ago

To a joseph hernandez, a
private investigator,

And two calls on the
day of the murder.

Office is on west 23rd street.

A block from where we
found jerome's cab.

This p.I.
Could have done the dna swab.

Let's check to see if
hernandez is an ex-cop.

Maybe we could get some
professional courtesy.

Mr. Hernandez is due
back any minute.

Oh, no big deal.

We're just checking to see

If our friend jerome
turner called him.

Oh, you're welcome to wait.

This, I believe, is a very
cute jack russell terrier.

Yeah?

I got a mutt too.

He looks at me, I swear he knows

Exactly what I'm thinking.

Oh, they do.

They know a lot.
More than people.

More than my ex-girlfriend,
that's for sure.

I bet you I can read
that upside-down.

What do you think?
I'm good at this.

Larry krap.

- It's park.
- Oh, park, krap.

Very close.

One more shot.
One more shot.

Maybe on this page.
Okay.

Now this time, please
don't smile at me.

It's very distracting.

Well, of course,

This is jeremy strucker.

Jerem struck.
Jerm...

it's your friend.

Jerome turner.
- A-ha.

So it is, and I see he called
about nathan robinson.

Can I help you guys?

Yeah.

You know a jerome turner?
Never heard of him.

Whatever she may have told you.

You took a dna swab from his son.

Now he's dead.
- Save your spiel.

I'm retired nypd.

Retired after you got jammed up
for busting a suspect's jaw.

Even if I did have
business with turner,

I was hired by a law firm.

Makes any communication privileged.

Bye-bye.

Only a couple hundred nathan
robinsons in the tri-state area.

Hernandez has been in
business for years.

This wouldn't be his
first paternity test.

Which means he would have a
lab he usually works with.

A lab that would pick up
samples from his office.

That front desk guy, he
should know the name.

So would she.

Oh, god.

Hey.

Oh, you okay?
I'm sorry.

We didn't mean to cause
trouble with your boss.

He's always like that.

He's such a...
- Private dick.

- Yes.
- We figured.

Listen, we really need to
find this nathan robinson.

Oh, mr. Hernandez doesn't
talk to me about his cases.

Fair enough.
How about the name of the lab

He uses to test dna samples?

I don't think he's gonna
use them anymore.

They had a dna sample of
this guy, nathan robinson.

To compare with turner's kid.

I guess.
Uh, anyway, the lab lost it.

Um, mr. Hernandez told me
to call hudson unirsity

To get another one.

Why, does nathan
robinson work there?

I don't know.

Mr. Hernandez told me to talk
to this technician jeff.

Okay?

Yeah, you could say mr.
Robinson works here.

That's him right there.

And that's mr.
Robinson here.

There's more of him.

His dna samples?

His cells growing in culture.

We buy them and use
them for research.

Nathan robinson's been
dead for over 50 years.

Puts him out of the running
as jaden's father.

Yeah. Well, maybe this
is about an inheritance.

Time to shake the family
tree and see who falls out.

Nathan robinson was me and my
cousin jerome's grandfather.

My mother's dad.

He passed in 1959 from cancer.

He was having tests done to prove

That his son was nathan's relative.

Any idea why?

No. Me and jerome
didn't talk much.

Gayle called and told
us he was murdered.

I couldn't believe it.

I mean, what happened?
Did he get robbed?

When was the last time
you spoke to him?

I'm not sure.

Is there an issue with
your grandfather's will?

My daddy didn't have a will.

Then maybe a piece of
property or an heirloom?

You would have gotten a
call from a probate lawyer.

Or maybe a private
investigator contacted you.

Someone named hernandez?

No.
We didn't get any calls.

But if we do, um, should
we get in touch with you?

Yeah, that'd be great.

Just go ahead and call this number.

Your kid.
Quite the artist.

Yeah, tanya, she's six.

That's nice.

One more question, mr.
Reed.

Do you own a car?

No.
No, I don't.

Lupo, check this out.

Three-day weekend coming up.

Thank you.

Well, there was an
alternate parking schedule

On michael reed's refrigerator.

He was lying about having a car.

Secrets seem to
run in that family.

We got him.

Dmv records show that dora reed

Owned an '81 blue cordoba,
which matches the description

Of the car that dropped
jerome off at the e.R.

- You said owned.
- Mm-hmm.

It was sold to a brooklyn junkyard

By michael reed four days ago.

I hope his cousin's
blood on the seat

Didn't hurt the resale value.

There it is.

Your '81 blue cordoba.

Ugh.
Great.

It'll take csu weeks to
get anything out of that.

Michael reed doesn't know that.

Yeah, so I sold my mom's car.

They didn't want her
driving anymore.

Interesting timing.

Day after your cousin was stabbed.

Well, I don't know
anything about that.

Excuse the interruption.

What's that?

So you didn't want
your mother driving.

She get a ticket?

Get in an accident?

No.
Nothing like that.

Right, but all of a sudden,
you junked her car,

Maybe because your cousin's
blood was all over it.

Maybe we should bring
your mother down here.

Oh, no, you don't
need to do that.

I was trying to save jerome.

Save froo?

Jerome was stabbed by
that detective hernandez.

I was trying to help him.

I mean, I took him to the hospital.

How do you know that hernandez
stabbed your cousin?

He wanted jaden's blood.

And those people, they
were just gonna take it.

What people?

What people are you talking about?

Michael, who were
you talking about?

Those white people.

All these years, stealing
my family's blood.

This is mr.
Reed's attorney.

And you all are done here.

Right.

White people stealing blood.

Yeah, time to break out the
garlic and silver bullets.

Joseph hernandez took
jaden turner's dna.

The boy picked his photo
out of a six-pack.

Who was hernandez working for?

He's hiding behind
attorney privilege.

Can we rule out reed's allegation

That it was hernandez
who stabbed his cousin?

Well, hernandez is the
better suspect on paper.

He was drummed out of the
department for excessive force.

Michael reed has no record.

Look, don't get me wrong.

Hernandez is in this neck deep.

But reed put himself at the scene,

Admitted dumping his
cousin at the hospital,

Not to mention lying to us and
trying to destroy evidence.

Okay, so we charge
reed with murder.

Next step, motive.

Vampires stealing
his family's blood.

No problem.

How you gonna put my son in jail

On a million-dollar bail
and then ask for my help?

Well, then help me get
to the bottom of this.

Why would a private investigator

Be interested in jaden's dna?

Maybe you should ask
that investigator.

Michael said people had been

Stealing your family's blood.

Michael gets worked
up and says things

That doesn't make any see.

Is this your father,
nathan robinson?

That's right.

That there church, my
daddy helped build it.

Is one of these girls you?

I'm the baby, and
that's my sister mary.

She died a few years ago.

And the little boy?

He's not around anymore either.

That's uncle eddie.

He lives across the river.

He smiles all the time.

That's fine, tanya.

Now go in the kitchen
and get a cookie.

Never mind about those old photos.

I ain't talking to you no more

Until you let my son out of jail.

Eddie has cerebral palsy.

He's been with us
for almost 30 years.

Would it be okay if I asked
him a few questions?

Sure. Eddie's not much
of a conversationalist.

Hi, mr. Robinson.
I'm connie rubirosa.

Your niece tanya says hello.

Would it be okay if I
asked you a few questions

About your nephew michael?
- Okay.

He says people have been
stealing your family's blood.

Are you gonna...

Stick my arm?

Of course not.
Why would you think that?

His family doctor used
to come by with a nurse

A few times a year to take blood
for some study he was doing.

But he hasn't come by
for the last ten years.

Would you still have the
name of that doctor?

I'll have to check.

Dr.
Vincent thurman.

He's the one who...

Sticks my arm.

Dr.
Vincent thurman died in 1997.

He was an oncologist
at ramapo hospital

Where nathan robinson died in 1959.

It's safe to assume thurman
was nathan's doctor,

But it doesn't explain
why he was pulling blood

Out of eddie robinson
40 years later.

Yeah, but michael reed's rant
about white people trying

To steal his family's blood
is starting to make sense.

Take a look at this.

Thurman founded hema labs in 1959.

Yeah, I've heard of 'em.
Big company.

Didn't realize they
started so small.

Yeah, very small.

Their first product was cancer
cells sold for research.

Nathan robinson died of cancer.

Do you have any ongoing research

Related to a man named
nathan robinson,

Or jerome or jaden turner?

I'm sorry, all of our projects

Are confidential and proprietary.

Well, the reason we're asking,

Mr. Dolan, is that,
among other things,

There are allegations
concerning an assault

On mr.
Turner's seven-year-old son.

And you think this is related
to my company's research?

A private detective named
hernandez was involved.

Something may have
occurred at the time that

He was alone with this boy.

Alone?

Is that what the child said?

Well, that's confidential

And proprietary.

Before I answer
any more questions,

I'd like to consult
my legal department.

They're circling the wagons.

Nothing like a subpoena
to bust up the party.

Hema labs tested jaden to
see if he was a descendant

Of nathan robinson.

For what purpose?

Well, it doesn't
say on the documents,

But hema cell line, the
one they make gazillions

Selling to research labs,

Is known as na-ro.

For nathan robinson.

Jaden's great-grandfather.

Right. We studied na-ro
cells in medical school.

I never realized till today
where they came from.

They're the first human cells
to stay alive in cultures,

So they're considered immortal.

They're a lab staple, like
white mice or petri dishes.

But if hema labs
had nathan's cells,

Why would they need
genetic material

From his great-grandson?

Most likely testing a new drug.

Who knows what they're
cooking up in the basement?

All right, any more questions,
you know where to find me.

These na-ro cells

Are the basis of hema's business.

We are talking billions
in profit here.

Well, there's no records
of any payments made

To nathan robinson or his family.

You know, hernandez tracked down

Some of nathan
robinson's descendants

In stag hill, new jersey,

In the ramapo mountains
near where robinson died.

Hernandez must have
been hunting dna.

And maybe starting trouble
between michael and jerome.

Yeah, I remember that
private detective.

Hernandez.

We figured out he
was from hema labs.

What did he want with your family, mr.
Robinson?

He was looking for
nathan's great-grandkids.

Offering 10 grand for their blood.

I told him all nathan's
kids moved to the city.

Didn't say where.

He was mad.

- Did he threaten you?
- Yeah.

Hell with him and that company.

It's not enough they
stole nathan's cells.

You know about nathan's cells?

They're magic.

Been all around the world.

Cured cancer, diseases.

It's like nathan's still alive.

Nathan, uh, grew up around here?

We all did.

Me, the rest of the cousins.

Our great-great-grandfather
was ramapo indian,

Runaway slaves,
portuguese fishermen--

All different races
mixed up together.

We call it squirrel stew,
but it's chicken. Honest.

Thank you.

It smells delicious.

So, um,

How did hema labs
get nathan's cells

In the first place?

One of his doctors took
a sample of his cancer

Without him even knowing.

Nathan was in the colored ward.

This is a man who would
spend his Sunday

Fixing the neighbor's roof.

Never asked for a penny.

man, he could swing a hammer.

Let me show you his grave.

I'll never forget his funeral.

Hotter than hell.

Hey, nathan.

You two are the first visitors
he's had here in a while.

Any of his children
or grandchildren

Come back to visit?

Dora came a few times.

She was trying to raise
money for a gravestone.

We'll be taking
care of that soon.

How is that?

Michael said don't say anything.

I think we can trust them.

Nathan would have liked her.

Well, we don't want to
cause any more trouble

For your family, mr.
Robinson.

I guess it's all right.

Michael reed, dora's boy,

He was here a few weeks back.

He said, "if somebody
comes asking for blood,

Don't give it.
"

He's gonna sue hema labs,

Get nathan his gravestone.

Did michael say anything
about his cousin, jerome?

Said jerome, us,
the whole family,

We had to stick together.

Michael was fired up.

Said hema was finally gonna pay.

We'd all get new houses.

We know all about
nathan robinson,

The na-ro cell line.

We know you visited the
relatives in stag hill

To warn them not to
cooperate with hema labs.

What happened?
Did jerome make his own deal,

And that's why you stabbed him?

- Don't answer that.
- It wasn't me.

Jerome changed his mind.

That p.I.
Stabbed him.

If you were innocent,
why wouldn't you say

What hernandez was after?

He doesn't know who to trust.

His family's been
exploited for years.

That's how this
is gonna play out?

You have no idea, mr.
Cutter.

Nathan robinson, an
impoverished black man,

Lay dying while white doctors

Dissected him like a guinea pig.

Wait till a jury hears it.

He's right.
A jury's gonna eat this up.

Yeah, and not just the jury.

Hema labs hired me to locate

A great-grandchild
of nathan robinson.

They said I'd get 100
grand if I got results.

So you contacted jerome turner?

I found his cousin michael first.

10 grand for a tube
of his girl's blood

If we confirmed that she's
nathan's great-granddaughter.

He goes off on me.

Yelling he's gonna sue everybody,

So I moved on and made a deal
with jerome for his kid.

When I took his kid's dna,

I handed jerome a check for $500,

But he wanted cash, so I
had him come back later.

So there was no dispute
between the two of you?

You're trying to
put this on me now.

Any more questions,
talk to my lawyer.

I'd like to put that
guy through a window.

I have no doubt he's
capable of murder.

Anything to corroborate his story?

Well, the police
canvassed his building

And searched his office.

There was no evidence of a knifing

Or an argument.

And jerome did have
over $500 in cash

In his wallet that night.

Even so, the defense will
probably use hernandez

As a straw man to put
hema labs on trial.

We can't let them.

Well, the defense has
a lot to work with.

Hema labs has been exploiting
jerome turner's family

For 50 years.

You should see

Where nathan robinson's
relatives live, jack.

In falling-down shacks.

Company's treatment of this family,

It's a disgrace.

Then you better
get ahead of this.

Six months ago,
one of our researchers

Discovered that na-ro cells

Contained a previously
unknown oncogene

For lung cancer, rj-42.
An oncogene?

The genetic trigger
that activates cancer

In healthy cells.

It was a huge breakthrough.

But the next step was to prove
proliferative advantage

In cells carrying this oncogene,

And the best way to do that

Was to study the last
descendants of nathan robinson.

Did you plan on
compensating the turners

For this donation?

They would have
been given $10,000.

Now nathan robinson
never consented

To having his cancer cells
harvested, correct?

Same thing for his son, eddie.

Nathan robinson was cared
for in a public hospital.

In a de facto colored ward.

This ward in ramapo hills hospital.

It was a different time.

Mr.
Robinson received free care.

So it was only fair to take samples

For medical research.

Oh, and for profit.

Hema labs never paid
nathan nor his descendants

A single penny in compensation.

Let me be clear about this.

Taking the sample did not
hurt nathan robinson

Or impede his recovery one iota.

The drugs that we make

Have helped millions of people.

Have you heard of the
tuskegee experiments?

Of course.

Then please, tell the
jury what they were.

Doctors recruited black
men with syphilis

To study the disease.

There were abuses...
- Abuses?

The doctors withheld
penicillin and did nothing

While these men rotted
to death in agony.

That has nothing to do with this.

So you say.

Do you know the term
"night doctors"?

It's an urban legend.

Doctors snatching black
residents off the streets

To perform medical experiments
without their consent.

And I can assure you

It never happened at hema labs.

No, hema labs just did the same
thing in the light of day.

So you can understand
why michael reed

Was so angry at his
cousin for helping you.

Nothing further.

When you hired mr.
Hernandez to find nathan's descendants,

You knew he had a violent
record as a police officer?

I believe so.

Making him the perfect fit to
bully them into cooperating.

No.

Anything to get the blood
you needed on the cheap.

Just like dr.
Thurman did with nathan robinson.

- Objection.
- Withdrawn.

Nothing further.

We did the swab no problem.

Jerome came back later
to be paid in cash

And left my office
as happy as a clam.

Nothing further.

After you were
fired by the police

For breaking a man's jaw,

You were hired by hema labs
and sent to indonesia,

Where one of their antiviral drugs

Had made 4,000 people ill.

What were you doing there?

Distributing compensation money

To the people who got sick.

In other words, jamming
lowball settlements

Down the throats of
illiterate villagers.

Objection.

Withdrawn.

So when hema labs needed

To intimidate nathan
robinson's family,

You were the right man for the job?

I didn't intimidate anybody.

But they promised you
a $100,000 bounty

For delivering jaden turner.

A commission.

A commission.

Isn't it a fact that
jerome turner returned

To your office that evening
because he changed his mind

About cooperating with hema?

Wrong.

Then the two of you argued,
and you stabbed him

Because you didn't want
to lose your commission?

Wrong about everything.

If you're trying to
get a rise out of me,

It's working.

I'm just glad you don't
have a knife in your hand,

Mr.
Hernandez.

Michael reed stated
during his questioning

That white people had been stealing

His family's blood for years.

And why did you consider
that to be an admission,

Lieutenant?

Because it went to his motive,

His state of mind,
that he was angry.

Thank you.

Excuse me for asking, lieutenant,

But aren't you undergoing
medical treatment

For cervical cancer?

This is a private matter,
your honor.

Well, it goes to the
witness's state of mind.

Sorry, lieutenant.

Answer the best you can.

Yes, I'm undergoing treatment.

And have you taken
any medications

Made by hema labs, such
as, uh, carboplatin,

Used in chemotherapy,

Or, uh, pegfilgrastim to bolster
your white blood count?

Both of those.

And does it disturb you

That these drugs were developed

From the cells of nathan robinson,

Which were obtained without
consent or remuneration?

How could you ask me that?

Please.
Just answer my question.

Well, what do you think, mr.
Cutter?

These drugs might save my life.

I'm grateful to nathan
robinson and his family.

But that doesn't mean
they were treated

With justice, mr.
Cutter...

Or dignity.

- Lieutenant.
- I can't believe

What you just did to me in there, mr.
Cutter,

Without the decency
to ask my permission

Or to let me know what was coming.

I'm sorry.
I-- it occurred to me

In the moment that we could-
- it occurred to you?

Well, did it occur to you that I
might have a problem with it?

I was trying to keep the defense

From using the same argument.
No, no, please.

I know what you were doing.

You were using me, mr.
Cutter.

You violated my privacy

So that you could win your case.

You are no better than hema labs.

My son michael and jerome turner

Were cousins.

They grew up together.

Michael would never hurt jerome.

Can you tell us about
their disagreement

Regarding hema labs?

Jerome made a deal to
let them test jaden,

But michael wanted to hold out.

He called a lawyer.

But I convinced michael to
forget about suing that company.

Jaden was sick.
Jerome had bills.

What did you tell michael

About your father nathan's cells?

That his grandfather was famous.

That those cells went
all over the world

To help cure sick people.

Hema labs made a lot of
money off of those cells.

Did you ever express any
anger about that to him?

I figured if my daddy's
cells were helping

All of those people,
that was good enough.

Did michael feel the same way?

Sometimes michael would
get angry at hema labs,

But never-- never at jerome.

Thank you, mrs.
Reed.

You were just a baby
when your father died.

It must have been
hard for your mom.

Three kids living in
poverty in stag hill.

We managed.

It must break your heart
to see michael struggle.

And jerome with his sick son.

Losing his family's
health insurance

While this, this giant corporation

Makes billions of dollars,

And they never paid your
family anything, did they?

Not a penny.

No, not for taking
nathan's cells,

Not for taking your
brother eddie's blood,

Not even an apology.

That's right.

Now they owe you, don't they, mrs.
Reed,

For what they took
from your family,

From your father, nathan?

All he did for science, all
the lives that he saved,

And what did he get?

An unmarked grave?

You're damn right.

They owe us.
They owe us.

They made all that money,

And we can't even afford a doctor.

They need to pay something.

And your son felt the
same way, didn't he?

He just wanted what was fair.

He just wanted to help his family.

But he ended up
killing his cousin.

Withdrawn.

Nothing further.

Jury's still out.

Three days.

They asked the judge to
clarify the difference

Between man one and man two.

They're looking for a way

To let michael reed off the hook.

Now's the time to make a deal.

Michael's pretty intractable.

Until the jury's back,
we have leverage.

Let's use it to do some good.

We're prepared to make
your client an offer.

He pleads to man one, we'll
recommend ten years.

Jury's still out.
We'll take our chances.

If they convict,

Your client could be
looking at 25 to life.

Now I think we all
have an interest

In settling this matter.

Hema labs has no liability here.

But there is doing
the right thing.

Or if that doesn't interest you, mr.
Dolan,

What's it worth to your company
to avoid the publicity

Of another trial?

You want us to bribe michael reed

To pleading guilty?

I have no intention of
taking the stand again.

1 million paid out over ten years

To be divided equally among
nathan robinson's heirs.

Your company has annual revenues

Of $400 million.

We have to draw a line, mr.
Cutter.

Otherwise, we'll be fighting
off lawsuits left and right.

Or you may be fighting
off a jail sentence.

Eddie robinson, nathan's son,

In a group home
with cerebral palsy.

He lives in my jurisdiction.

Read the definition of assault.

It includes taking
blood without consent.

There's a statute of limitations.

Not for a concealed crime
against an incompetent victim.

3 million.

We've been to stag hill.

This family is beyond
the edge of poverty,

Struggling to put
food on the table,

While you're teeing off at the
country club in ridgewood.

5 million.

Make it ten.

Payable now.

10 million?

Now you can wait
for the jury verdict,

But if you get convicted,

Your mother will die
while you're in prison.

And jerome will have
died for nothing.

You did try to save him,
didn't you,

After you stabbed him?

I, uh, told him that

The company had made millions,

And we couldn't even afford to
take our kids to the doctor.

And jerome wouldn't
change his mind,

So, uh, I, uh--

I had the knife in
the glove box and...

I, uh-- I was just so angry

Because, you know, about
jerome helping the people

That were cheating us...

I just, um-- I just lost it.

I took him to the hospital...

I really thought that
he would be okay.

So I'll do it.

I'll take the deal.

Okay.

Hey.

Joseph hernandez's personnel file.

Thanks.

You don't need it anymore?

No.
Uh, case pled out.

How did we do?

All things considered,
not so badly.

Lieutenant-- - counselor.

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.

Oh, my god, where was she going?

A birthday party in a whorehouse?

Grocery store.

That's her standard daytime outfit.

Next day...

That's her and her husband
going out for chinese food.

Oh, this woman may
be beyond our help.

At least this one doesn't
weigh 300 pounds.

You ready?
- Mm-hmm.

Our next fashion victim,
marielle dinapoli,

Was brought to our
attention by a friend

Concerned about marielle's
inappropriate attire.

Based on what our hidden
cameras have seen

Over the past few days,

I'd say that's quite
an understatement.

But things are about to
change for the better

As we undertake another
fashion victim makeover.

Marielle dinapoli, come out--

Your life is about to change!

Marielle dinapoli...

Cut!
Cut!

That is a dog cage, right?

It was locked up tight.

I guess the handcuffs
were insurance.

We needed bolt cutters
to get to him.

Was there a dog
in there with him?

No dog, no dog hair, no dog food.

Looks like he was stabbed
through the bars.

With what?

Something with a long blade.

So for this television show,

You had the house
under surveillance?

Just an hour or two a day.

The last time we were here
was yesterday morning.

Okay, you see anything
out of the ordinary?

Just mrs.
Dinapoli's clothes.

- There she is.
- See what we mean?

Excuse me, mrs.
Dinapoli.

What--what happened?

He wouldn't tell me what happened.

I'm afraid it's your husband.

Mrs.
Dinapoli!

Mrs. Dinapoli.
- David!

Is that david?

- Ma'am, maybe you
should-- - oh, my dear!

Is it david?
What--what happened?

Who did this?

We don't know.
We're just beginning to--

his comic books, they're--

They're gone.

His comic books?

He was a collector.
They were very valuable.

All those stupid comics.
Oh, my god.

how can I live without him?

Help me.

Sub Adriano_CSI

Does she know anything?

Nothing useful so far.

And she says she
was away overnight

At a college reunion
in connecticut.

We checked--people saw
her at the banquet.

Her husband was murdered
around 1:00 a.M.

By someone who
broke into his house,

Locked him in a dog cage,
stabbed him through the bars,

Then stole his comic books.

Bright lights, big city.

While his wife was being followed

By a video crew for a
makeover reality show.

What are the odds?

Her name was sent in to the
show by a friend of hers,

Amy felner.

That's nice of her.

You have a list of
the missing comics?

Yeah, she gave us his inventory.

We'll check comic book
dealers and auction houses

To see if these are showing up.

White leather miniskirt with studs.
Hoo!

We knew mr.
Dinapoli.

He specialized in all-american
comics from the '40s.

Early wonder woman, golden
age green lantern,

Gay ghost.
- Gay ghost?

As in "cheerful.
"

Some of these are worth
upwards of $10,000.

We think whoever killed mr.
Dinapoli stole those.

We'd like to know if
anyone brings them in.

Well, they're not unique.

I've got a green lantern
#6 on auction right now.

Well, if you get more
than one of those...

Sure.
Can I keep this?

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.

That's funny.

I had an inquiry last week.

Somebody wanted to know the value

Of sensation mystery #1.

And the all-american 20, and
the all-flash quarterlies.

Those are on the list?

You think that's a coincidence?

You got the name of
the guy who inquired?

I just heard about david.
It's hard to believe.

You knew mr.
Dinapoli?

Yes. Socially.
We played tennis.

You also had an interest
in his business.

- Fiber optics? No.
- His comic book collection.

You wanted to know how
much it was worth.

You inquired.

A few days before he
was killed for them.

You think I killed david
for his comic books?

Why were you asking about em?

Because they were partly mine.

I invested with david.

David convinced me that comic
books were a growth area.

The first superman just
sold for $1 million.

The prices are going nuts.

So you were making money.
Everything was fine?

No. David said the big-name
books were over-valued,

And the obscure ones
had all the upside,

So we bought dr.
Midnight, johnny thunder.

You ever hear of the gay ghost?

Yeah, he was cheerful.

Yeah, well,
he wasn't worth anything.

David thought he might
command a premium

Because of his name,
but he was wrong...

About all of 'em.

I had called that dealer to see

If I had any of my investment left.

The dealer told us they
were worth a bundle.

I pa a bundle.
They were supposed to go up.

They didn't.
I lost my shirt.

Thanks to mr.
Dinapoli.

You mind telling us where
you were last night?

At home, redoing the family
budget with my wife.

Hey, you see where
batman beat superman?

A batman book just
went for $1, 075,000.

I had a lot of comics
when I was growing up.

Wish my mother hadn't
thrown them away.

I don't think scooby-doo
brings in that much.

Marty ashcroft, the guy who
lost his shirt to dinapoli...

Mm-hmm.

Looks like he needed
the money he lost.

He was being sued.

"the plaintiff
alleges that ashcroft

"misrepresented the value
of closed-end mutual funds

He sold to plaintiff.
"

So ashcroft lost
money with dinapoli,

And someone else lost
money with ashcroft.

Ashcroft was being
squeezed on both ends.

Huh.

The guy who's suing ashcroft,

His name is joshua felner.

Amy felner put dinapoli's wife up

For the reality show.

Small world.

I don't know much about
my husband's investments.

What does this have to do
with what happened to david?

Probably just a coincidence.

Did your husband ever mention
the dinapolis to you?

Sure.
We know them.

Josh played tennis with
david and marty ashcroft.

Did your husband
have anything to do

With you proposing
marielle dinapoli for

Fashion victim?

Josh?

The only fason he might
notice is a topless bikini.

Putting marielle up for
the show was my idea.

She's a friend of mine.

Telling the world her
wardrobe was hideous?

How friendly is that?

She's a beautiful
40-year-old woman

Who dresses like a color blind,
20-year-old prostitute.

I thought she should
hear it from experts

So maybe she'd believe it.

Was there any particular
reason you did that just now?

Yes, I thought she might
be single again soon,

So she'd want to be
looking her best.

She might be single again soon?

So you knew her husband
was going to be killed?

No, my husband told me.

David dinapoli was planning
on getting divorced.

There was a wound on his cheek,

But they can fix that
for the visitation.

I want an open casket.

David was such a beautiful man.

Have you found out anything?

Do you know who did this to him?

Not yet.

It's so awful.
It's everything.

I'm just trying to
focus on the details.

The death notice, the flowers,

Which passage to read.

David wasn't a religious man,

But I think the old
testament is beautiful.

"what shall I cry?

"all flesh is grass, and
the goodliness thereof

Is as the flower of the field.
" - oh...

Isaiah 40.

Nice for a graveside service.

Oh, no, david isn't
gonna be buried.

He's gonna be cremated,
like my first husband.

Here.

Your first husband
gave you that ring?

No, this is him.
Larry.

There's a company
called memory gem,

And they take cremated remains

And make it into
artificial diamonds.

- Hmm.
- Oh.

So you're going to make
david into another ring?

No.

A pendant.
Bigger than this.

And closer to my heart.

I was fond of larry, but...

David was the love of my life.

Mrs. Dinapoli, we heard
that maybe you and david

Were having some troubles.

What? No.
No trouble.

That maybe you were
heading toward divorce.

Me and david?
No.

We were soul mates.

Interesting woman.

Isaiah 40, huh?

What, you prefer ecclesiastes?

What I prefer is not to be a ring

On that woman's finger.

Hey, you don't believe that
her and husband number two

Were soul mates?

I'd like to know
what she was up to

The days before the murder.

Let's go to the video tapes.

What are you guys looking for?

Her drawing a
bull's-eye on his back?

No, no.
They look like soul mates to you?

Well, ey're not
speaking to each other.

They look married.

This is the day before.

Ooh, those clothes are god-awful!

Leopard print and zebra print.

I like a little color on a woman.

Yeah, I actually think
the orange goes nicely

With the zebra.

All right, this is the last one,

The morning of the murder.

She's taking a taxi this time.

The hack number right there.

I wonder where she's going.

Well, I guarantee it's
not saks fifth avenue.

All right, say she was planning

To kill her husband, right?

Yeah, or hire it done.

The taxi dropped her here.

Fifi's fashions.

Looks like her kind of place.

Maybe this is too.

You remember her?

I remember the, uh...

She bought a pair
of handcuffs--pink.

It's a new item.

Did she happen to mention what
she was gonna use 'em for?

No, she just said
they were darling.

Then she saw something
else she liked

Over here.

They're all legal.
No switchblades, gravity knives,

Knuckle knives, kung fu stars.

This is only against the
law if it's possessed

With the intent to use it
against another person.

Penal law 265.01
.

Okay, are you a lawer
or a knife salesn?

People ask me.
Some cops don't know.

So our lady,
she bought one of those?

, e boht one of these.

Damascus steel blade,

Pper fits, snakeskihandle

40-inchelong

Long enough to reach
inside the dark cage

I know didnt tell you
about the sword.

I--I was embarrassed.

Embarrassed?

Embarrassed about
kill your husband?

I didn't kill david.

His woun were consistent with
the sword that you bought

That you didn't tell us out.

Thght he was murdered,

You could have drivein
fr connecticut

And been back before anyone
had known you were gone.

No.
Somebodylse killed did.

They broke into the
house r those comics,

Aneyt have sn the ord and realized

You're saying he was
already in the cage?

That's a little baassing t.

Is there seone else n lk t

Sex games.

- Sex games?
- Mm.

Locking your
husband in dog cage

Before you go
on an overnight trip?

- He needed to be punished.
-Wow.

Ok, what about the sword?

You holdagainst certain
sensitive body parts.

Okay, what about shaving
it through his chest

Maybe he reallneeded
to be punished.

She says it was all for
fun, never for harm,

And she can prove it.

How?

They've done it before.
She has a witness.

Westhampton police department.

Marielle dinapoli.
Oh, yeah, I remember that one.

E had a house out here.

We'rlookg at h for
maybe llg her hud.

David, right?

Last time I saw him, he
was chasing across dunes

with harness whip

She id you cou vouch r thfact

Th they played games that
seemed dangero, but weren't.

I cavoat they were both nut

Wead half a dozen calls out ere.

First one came from him.

He said she tied him
up and ied toilhi

Wee ki the r he says nevemind,

Was a sex thing.

Said he wasadher, but
now he's over it.

R the bother.

And chasing him across the
dunes with a harness whip?

Uha neighb cled.

"mr. Dapoli is running
across the sand

"in his underwear.

She'- another game.
More of a play.Og.

Sticking out of the back of briefs,

He had a tail.

Apparently he was her
soul mate and r

Well, they say you never know

G on side ariage.

Yeah, the westhampton pd
had feimpses into this o.

They had a whole dinapoli file.

Oh, hd a eak knife to her throat

At their fourth anniversary party?

She didn'tsue it it nevesse

Into a formal charge.

That was 2008.

Their firslovers' rel was 20.

That would have been
before they were married.

When dider first husband die?

03.

So she was playing pin the
tail on the boyfriend

Whilhusband number one
was stilin theicre

- Mm-hmm.
- How did d?

Accidental fall from
a third-floor window

Of a brownstone they
were renovating.

Whicshherited, ri

Let's try to get
a court order

To exhume this body
for re-examination.

- There might be a slight
problem with that, loo.

- Well, do what you can.

- Now, how, exactly, was
that tail attached?

- You know, I didn't
really want to know.

[laughs]

- And I thought
my marriage was weird.

- I think they're all weird,

Each in their own
special kind of way.

- Yeah, but people keep
doing it.

- Yeah, first-timers, 'cause
they don't know any better.

- And old hands
like you and me?

- We know better.

- You want some more oj?

- Oh, detectives.

Let me guess--
somebody died.

- Yes. Larry summerstadt,
seven years ago.

It went down
as an accident,

But we'd like to take
another look.

- All right.
You got him en route?

- Personal delivery.

- Oh, if you're proposing
to me, lupo,

The answer's no.

- That's the deceased.

The widow had his
cremains pressed into

An artificial diamond.

First exhumation order
we ever got

For a piece of jewelry.

- Uh-huh.
And what do you expect me

To tell you from this?

- What have you got?

- The deceased was a
man of many facets.

- [chuckles]
- nothing.

It's carbon.
Carbon is carbon.

It doesn't remember
where it came from.

But you could go back to
the place that made that

And get the leftover cremains.

There's a new technique
that might find something.

- Oh, we'll have to find out
if they kept any leftovers.

- Of course they did.

In case the widow wanted
matching earrings.

- Particle-induced
x-ray emissions.

It bombards the sample
with an ion beam.

We call it "pixie.
"

- So do we need to
stand someplace else?

- No, you're fine there.

The beams generate
atomic interactions

That produce wavelengths
specific to individual elements.

Until we got this, all
I could have told you

About those ashes was
that they were ashes.

- So what's pixie have
to say?

- Well, there's carbon,
of course.

Calcium phosphate,
sodium, potassium.

Thallium.

Yeah, this is what
you're looking for.

- I take it that's not part
of a well-balanced diet.

- It's a heavy metal
that has no business

Being in human remains.

- Unless that particular
person was poisoned.

- I can't say whether it was
accidental or on purpose,

But yes.

- What does thallium do
to a person?

- Hair loss,
gastrointestinal distress,

Neurological dysfunction.

- So they could stumble,
fall out of a window?

- Or collapse, and you
could toss 'em out.

- It doesn't look good, mrs.
Dinapoli.

You've got to understand.
- Call me marielle.

'cause I feel we're
working together on this.

- From different ends,
marielle.

The evidence doesn't lie.
Your first husband was poisoned.

- And your second
husband told the police

At least four times that
you tried to kill him.

- I explained all that
to your lieutenant.

Didn't she explain it to you?

- If it was just
game playing,

Why did he call the police?

- Well, he'd get mad
about something,

Like if I left a sandwich
in the car.

He never liked that.

But then, you know, if
one of our scenarios

Got a little out of hand,

He'd overreact until we, you
know, got back on track.

- You locked david
in a dog cage

And left him there
for the weekend.

- I don't expect you
to understand,

But what david and I
had together...

It was sent by god.

- You were soul mates.

- Yes.

- And you found this out
when you were married

To your first husband.

- It was bad timing.

Well, if I had met david
first,

I never would have even
been with another man.

- But you were with another
man, and that man was killed.

Which left you
financially set up

And alone with david, right?

- That's true.

You're not gonna let
up on this, are you?

- No, we're not.

You had every reason
in the world

To murder your first husband.

- So did david.

- David?

- His business was
fiber optics.

His company had a plant
in china.

He used to go over there.

And they had
a certain chemical that--

- Thallium.
- That was the one.

- David brought some back.

- You're saying you and he

Killed your first husband
together?

- No, it was david.
Just david.

And he told me about it
afterwards.

I--I felt bad about larry,

But I wasn't going
to go to the police.

- Even though he
murdered your husband.

- Because he loved me.

Because we were soul mates.

Because we had to be
together.

[sighs]

Am I under arrest?

Then I have to get
back to the funeral.

- So marielle dinapoli is
giving us her second husband

For the murder
of her first?

- She said he confessed
to her.

- And he's conveniently dead?
- Right.

You can indict
a diamond ring.

She turns her ex-husbands
into memory gems.

- Well, who do you think
killed her first husband?

- I think she killed
both of 'em.

- Well, if we charge her
with killing number one,

She'll raise reasonable
doubt by saying

That number two did it.

- Then charge her with
killing number two.

She's got no one to
point to on that one.

- She bought the sword.

He complained in the past
that she tried to kill him.

And she admits to locking
him in that dog cage.

- Yeah, but he was
her soul mate.

Says so right here
in your report.

- Okay, and in this report

It says one of dinapoli's
friends told his wife

That marielle's soul
mate was getting ready

To divorce her.

- That's not right.

My wife must have
misunderstood.

- Well, she told the
police that you said

Mr. Dinapoli was planning
on getting a divorce.

- That's news to me.

- He never said anything
like that to you?

- Your wife said that's why she put mrs.
Dinapoli up

For that makeover show.

- I thought she put
her up for that show

Because she dresses
like a slut.

- Who, marielle?

- They're from the district
attorney's office, dear.

- We're just trying to
clear something up.

Did your husband tell you

That david dinapoli wanted
a divorce?

- Yes.
- No.

- It was that day he went
to new jersey with you

To look at your
shopping center.

You stopped for a few drinks
on the way home, dear.

- Mr. Dinapoli was looking
at real estate with you?

- He bought a share in
one of my projects.

But he never said he
was getting divorced.

Even if we'd had
a few drinks.

- It strike you as odd--

David dinapoli investing
with felner?

- And felner was
investing with ashcroft,

And ashcroft was
investing with dinapoli.

A perfect circle.
- It's not that perfect.

Felner was suing ashcroft
over his investment.

And ashcroft told the cops

That he lost a fortune
with dinapoli.

- But 'round and 'round
it goes.

It was a daisy chain.

They were all investing
with each other.

- And all losing money.

- That's what their books show--

Three investment disasters.

- But they still play
tennis together every week

And stop for drinks at
the club bar afterward.

- All that money down the
drain and no hard feelings.

Let me take a wild guess--
they're all married.

- Yeah.
Now, felner's wife said

That he was thinking divorce.

Felner denies ever
saying it.

- Because it has to be
kept quiet, doesn't it?

- Asset stripping.

You don't file for a divorce

Until after you've hidden
the money.

- Maybe you should remind mr.
Felner and mr. Ashcroft

That they've committed
a felony.

- If it was a crime to lose
money in an investment,

You'd have to arrest
everybody in manhattan.

- Well, it's not a
crime to lose money,

But it can be a crime to
make money and lie about it.

- We checked the values

Of the comic books
you invested in.

They didn't go down,
they went up.

And so did the mutual funds
you bought from mr. Ashcroft.

- Your lawsuit against
him is just for show.

A show for your wife.

- That's ridiculous.
- Really?

Let's see what her divorce
lawyer has

To say about it.

- She doesn't have
a divorce lawyer.

We're not getting divorced.

- Well, maybe not now.

But that was the plan,
wasn't it?

The three of you made
bogus bad investments

With each other to lose as
much money as you could

Before you filed for divorce

To avoid giving half
to your wives.

After the settlements, it
could all quietly reappear.

- Even if you're right,

The alleged crime
doesn't become a crime

Until one of us lies in
a divorce proceeding,

Which hasn't happened.

- Well, they may after your
wives hear about this.

- Are you going to tell them?

Is that part of the
district attorney's job?

- Are you sure they
don't already know?

Are you sure
none of them knows?

- Marielle knew.

I don't know how she
found out about it.

David could be pretty
stupid sometimes.

- How do you know she knew?
- She called me.

Said she wanted
david's money back.

Said we were all
sons of bitches.

She was yelling and crying.

Angry...
Crazy.

- When did this happen?

- The day before david
was killed.

- And you never thought to
mention this to the police?

That your friend's wife had
a motive to murder him?

Of course not.

That would blow the
whistle on your scheme

To cheat your own wife.

Gotta keep your priorities
straight.

- They'd rather let a murderer
go free

Than give their wives a
fair share of their assets.

- Yeah.

Makes me appreciate
being single.

Marielle dinapoli
had a motive.

Let's call lupo and bernard.

- Well, there are no
eyewitnesses,

No conclusive forensics.

- The woman's unstable.

We charge her, shake her
up, maybe we get a plea.

- Case number 46894: People
v marielle dinapoli.

The charge is murder
in the second degree.

- Mrs.
Dinapoli pleads not guilty.

- Uh, no, she pleads
not possible.

- Excuse me?

- How can you murder
your own heart?

- The actual charge,
your honor,

Is murdering her husband.

- How can you murder
your own soul?

- Stick around, you'll see.

- This is a horrible mistake.

I don't know what you
people can be thinking.

- Oh, we're thinking
that you were upset

When you realized your
husband wanted a divorce.

- But that's not true.

That could never happen.

- We have a witness
who says otherwise.

That you knew about the
bogus investment scheme.

- David did invest
with josh.

He told me that.

- Marielle...
- But it wasn't bogus.

And he was getting
his money back

So we could buy real estate
that we both wanted--

The house in westhampton,
where we were first together.

- Which you inherited
from your first husband

After david drugged him and
threw him out of a window.

- But I didn't keep it.
The bank took it back.

It came on the market
a few months ago,

And we were gonna buy it.

- So you would have
been especially upset

When your husband told
you his money was gone.

- I keep hearing the
word "upset" here.

Is there a plea offer
on the table?

Extreme emotional disturbance?

- It's not out of the question.

- Emotional?
Emotional about what?

We were a happily married
couple.

Everything was perfect.

- I guess that's a no.

Everything was perfect.

- Yeah, except for the
dead guy in the dog cage.

She won't take a plea.

- She thinks she's juliet.

No way she killed romeo,
even if she did.

- Are you sure
she did kill him?

- Two murdered husbands?
Come on.

- She says she had
no motive.

That there was
no divorce coming,

And that she and her
husband were shopping

For romantic real estate.

- Even if they were, he
could have just been

Jollying her along.

- It's due diligence.
We should check it out.

- Go take a look.

Maybe you'll find
another dead husband

In the bushes.

- Lovely grounds.

- Nice for chasing your
lover around with a whip.

- Excuse me?

- Uh, we understand ththat mr.
And mrs. Dinapoli

Had a sentimental
attachment to the place.

- Oh, yes, they seemed
quite taken with it.

And each other.
I thought they were newlyweds.

- Were they serious
potential buyers?

- They were about
to make an offer.

Mr. Dinapoli even had his
business manager call

To go over some details.

- His business manager?
- Uh, yes.

Name of...
Joshua felner.

[cell phone rings] I'm
in a bidding war.

Excuse me.

- Felner wasn't dinapoli's
business manager.

- No, but if he was checking to
see what dinapoli was up to--

If he was really
staying with his wife,

Really needed
his money back...

- If dinapoli wanted out,

The whole divorce scam
might have blown up.

- Which would give both
felner and ashcroft

The motive to kill dinapoli

And then lie about
what his wife knew

So that we'd go after her.

- All this just to screw
their wives?

- Maybe their wives would
like to return the favor.

- This whole thing, that
my husband was involved

In some secretlolot
to get a divorce...

As far as I know, we're
not getting a divorce.

- I'm afraid that was sort of
the point of the secret plan.

- With all due respect,
lady,

I don't know you,

And I've known marty
for 20 years.

- You both knew both men.

We want you to compare notes.

- Your husband told the
police that he was with you

The night mr.
Dinapoli was murdered.

- That's true. He was.
- All night?

What time did you go to bed?

- Amy, do you believe this?
- Yes.

I threw josh out yesterday.

I have a divorce lawyer
and a forensic accountant

Combing through every corner
of his miserable life.

You have to face
reality here, suzanne.

By the way, I have no idea where
my husband was that night.

I go to bed early.

- Fine, then maybe your
husband murdered david.

- Oh, like yours is such
a paragon.

I've been hearing from josh
for years how he runs around.

He practically mounted
a military campaign

To get into marielle's pants.

Even she was
too good for him.

Thanks so much for having us.
It's been fun.

- [clears throat]

The real housewives
of new york city.

- They don't know anything
we don't.

Our only hope is
to squeeze something

Out of one of those husbands.

- I think we just found out

Who might be able
to help us.

- So you're dropping
the charges.

- No, we have a case
against your client.

We have no case against
anyone else.

- But you just said
ashcroft and felner--

- You think marty ashcroft
killed my husband,

And you want me
to seduce him?

- That's not what we said.

- We don't want you to lock
him in a dog cage either.

- Just talk to him.

If you really want
to help us...

If you're willing.

- I'm willing.

- I gotta say I was
surprised you called me.

- I just wanted to be with
somebody who knew david,

And you were his friend.

This whole thing has
just been so terrible.

- So they dropped the
charge against you?

- Oh, of course they did.

They found people who
saw me in connecticut

While david was...

Being killed.

The idea that they would
arrest me--

That they would suspect me...

- I know.
I'm sorry about david.

- You knew how special
he was.

- If there's anything
I cado.

- I really appreciate that,
marty.

I feel so alone now.

- Anything, marielle.

- Well--

I--I need money
to pay bills.

David's investments
were very complicated,

And his comic books are
all gone.

And if I just had a couple
of those to sell, you know,

To just tide me over...

- They might not all
be gone.

- But they were stolen.

- Not all of them.

David gave me a few to...
Evaluate.

- You have some of
david's comic books?

You son of a bitch!

- Ow!

- Aah!
You killed david!

You bastard!

- Marielle, put it down!

- He killed my soul.

- She's crazy.

- [grunting] - drop it.
Drop it!

Drop it!

- He killed him.
He killed him.

- I did not.
- I know you did.

- Where's that crazy bitch?

You arrest her?
She tried to kill me!

- We'll deal with her later.

Now we're dealing with you.

- What you told mrs.
Dinapoli

Got us a search warrant
for your apartment,

Where we found mr.
Dinapoli's comic books.

All of them.

- And there's what looks to
be specks of blood on a few.

The lab will tell us tomorrow if it's mr.
Dinapoli's.

Unless you'd like
to tell us now.

- I didn't kill david.

- Well, this would be
a really good time

For you to explain
some things.

- He'll tell you
what he knows.

But he walks away
with no charges.

- That's for the d.
A. To decide.

What does he know?

- Okay--ooh!

We were trying to hide
money from our wives,

And david changed his mind.

He told josh
he wanted his money back.

- You know this how?

- Josh told me.

But he didn't have
david's money.

He had put it into one
of his investments.

He wasn't expecting
to give it bkk

Until after the divorces.

David said he needed
the money now

To buy that house
in the hamptons,

And that if he didn't get it,

He was gonna tell our
wives everything.

He was gonna blow the
whistle on all of us.

Josh told me
he'd take care of it.

- When did you get
the comic books?

- The night after the
murder, from josh.

He said he didn't want
them around his house.

Besides, they were
my investment.

- What do you think?
- If his alibi checks,

We'll charge josh
felner with the murder.

- And mrs. Dinapoli?
- Case dismissed.

- Is that gonna make her
one of your witnesses?

Odod luck.

- Do you recognize this comic book, mrs.
Dinapoli?

- Yes.
It belonged to my husband.

- We heard testimony from
your husband's friend,

Marty ashcroft,

That he got this
from the defendant

After your husband's death.

To your knowledge,
did your husband

Ever give this to mr.
Felner?

- No.
He had no reason to.

- And when did you see it last?

- Um, the afternoon
before he was murdered.

It was in a display case
in our living room.

- And when did you notice
that it was missing?

- The next morning...

When they discovered
my husband's body.

- I see.

Thank you.

- As for how mr.
Ashcroft got that comic book,

Didn't he tell you
a different story

The night that you stabbed
him with a steak knife?

- Yes.

He--he said that david
had given it to him.

- Mm-hmm. And which of his
stories do you believe?

- That he gave it to him.

After he murdered
my husband.

- Well, you would go for
that one, wouldn't you?

It takes you off the hook.

- Objection.
- Sustained.

- You were arrested for killing
your husband, correct?

- Yes, but the authorities
made a mistake.

- And then they gave you
a way out.

To elicit incriminating
statements from mr. Ashcroft

By offering yourself
to him sexually.

- No, that was only
for show.

- But hadn't you slept with
him during your marriage?

- No.

I was faithful to dad!
D!

He was my great love.

- Your great love who made plans
to cheat you and divorce you.

- He changed his mind.
That's why he was killed.

- Actually,
wasn't he killed by you

Because he hadn't
changed his mind?

- No.

- Because he was walking
out on your marriage!

- No, that couldn't happen!

- Well, maybe not while he
was lock inside a dog cage.

But wasn't he sick and tired
of you and your drama?

- We were deeply in love.

- Wasn't he looking
forward to a normal life

With a normal woman?

- You don't know what
you're talking about.

- Hadn't he already had
affairs with women

Who weren't freaks like you?

- You're lying!

You bitch!

You don't understand anything!

You don't know anything!

- I know I'm lucky there
weren't any swords handy.

[marielle sobbing]

- You saw what she was like.

David wanted those
comics out of the house

So they'd be somewhere
safe when he got out.

- So you didn't kill mr.
Dinali?

- No.
And if he got out sooner,

He'd still be alive.

His wife knew
what was going on.

She isn't one to take that
kind of thing lying down.

- Well, if david dinapoli
gave you those comic books

Before he was killed,

Why was his blood on them?

- Probably some old stab
wound from his crazy wife.

- Yes, well, she is a
little extreme, isn't she?

- That's one word for it.

- So you must have been
surprised

When he backed out of
your asset-hiding scheme

To stay with her.

- He didn't back out.

- Oh, so mrs.
Dinapoli is lying

About the comic books,

And mr. Ashcroft is lying about mr.
Dinapoli?

And, what, everybody's
lying except you?

- Yes.

- But there was an
asset-hiding scheme.

- It was david's idea.

He didn't want to give
his wife half his money.

- You didn't want to give
half your money to your wife.

- That was the idea.

- You're getting divorced
now, aren't you?

- Yes.

- How much is your wife
gonna get?

- I'm not sure.

- More than $1 million?

- Yes.
- Two million?

- Possibly.

- You think that's fair?

- The law says it is.

- What do you say?

- That I've worked
60 hours a week

For the last 15 years.

And as far as I can tell, my
wife spends most of her time

Shopping and getting
her nails done.

- Surely that's
an exaggeration.

- Yeah, I forgot aromatherapy.

A hundred bucks a week
now, on me, forever.

Can someone please tell
me what in the hell

Aromatherapy is?

- And you don't want
to get stuck

Paying for things like that,
do you?

- Who would?

The whole system is designed
to reward women who--

- Who what, mr.
Felner?

What, who leech
off their husbands

And then skin them alive
in a divorce?

- I don't know.

What's done is done.
I'm moving on.

- Well, you'd be moving
on with a lot more

Of the money you mad
during those 60-hour weeks

If mr. Dinapoli hadn't
backed out of your scheme.

- I told you,
he didn't back out.

Why would he?

- Because he loved his wife?

- He was sick of his wife.

It was too damn weird.

I mean, the cage?
The sword?

- He told you about those?

- Yeah, so I'd understand
why he wanted out--

Why he'd never go back.

- And the handcuffs.
He mention those too?

- Yeah.
Nknkanandcuffs.

Like that would make him
any rere comfortable.

- Uh, when did he mention
all this to you?

- A few days before
his wife killed him.

Well, , at's'sntererting

Beuse e e didinaposs dn't't
havpipi h handcufththen.

Is store receiei shoho th mrs.
Didinapo bought them

The dadaof the murder.

- Welli must h he read
thth were pink

In the newspsper.

- That detail was never
released.

- Sosohat?

That psycho tramp wife
of his knew about them.

She knew they were therere

- So did his killer.

Did you.

- On the charge of murder
in the second degree,

How do you find?

- We find the defendant guilty.

- I thank you for
your service.

The defendant is bound
over for sentencing.

- I know what people think
of me.

I know what you may think
of me.

But I never lied to you,

And I loved my husband.

- I believe you.

- Thank you...

For everything.

- I gather things
weren't looking so good

When your star witness tried to
murder the defense attorney.

- Well, we recovered.

I let the jury see how much
felner hated his wife,

And then he fell into the
old pink-handcuff trap.

- Just like mr.
Dinapoli used to, I imagine.

- The widow sent me
a thank-you gift

For helping to convict
her husband's killer.

- Diamond studs?

- It's her husband.
