1
00:00:00,934 --> 00:00:02,607
NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:02,669 --> 00:00:06,549
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:06,607 --> 00:00:08,484
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,542 --> 00:00:11,318
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,378 --> 00:00:12,516
These are their stories.
6
00:00:14,248 --> 00:00:15,659
There ought to be a law,
7
00:00:16,383 --> 00:00:18,556
nobody under 18
sits in first class.
8
00:00:18,986 --> 00:00:20,294
Especially the red-eye.
9
00:00:20,354 --> 00:00:22,231
That little boy was so cute.
10
00:00:22,289 --> 00:00:24,200
He didn't spill
his apple juice in your lap.
11
00:00:25,826 --> 00:00:27,931
I'm still sticky.
I'm gonna take a shower.
12
00:00:29,162 --> 00:00:31,642
You sure your sister doesn't
mind letting us use her loft?
13
00:00:31,698 --> 00:00:33,678
Why should she mind?
She's halfway to London.
14
00:00:47,014 --> 00:00:48,152
Meryl!
15
00:00:48,215 --> 00:00:50,092
Victim's Lucy Young.
It's her place.
16
00:00:50,617 --> 00:00:52,255
This woman was loaded.
17
00:00:52,319 --> 00:00:53,798
Upstairs neighbor said
she lived alone.
18
00:00:53,887 --> 00:00:55,423
Parents are both deceased.
19
00:00:55,489 --> 00:00:56,968
No boyfriend they can remember.
20
00:00:57,024 --> 00:00:59,334
She bled through to
the apartment downstairs?
21
00:00:59,860 --> 00:01:01,567
Her hands were severed
at the wrists.
22
00:01:01,628 --> 00:01:02,936
ED: Where are they?
23
00:01:02,996 --> 00:01:04,202
Under the coffee table.
24
00:01:04,765 --> 00:01:06,176
Rings are still on the fingers.
25
00:01:06,233 --> 00:01:08,144
The knife matches
the set in the kitchen.
26
00:01:08,201 --> 00:01:10,477
Masking tape on her mouth,
her own kitchen knives...
27
00:01:10,537 --> 00:01:12,483
The guy didn't bring
his own tools.
28
00:01:12,539 --> 00:01:13,916
Beside the cutting
29
00:01:13,974 --> 00:01:16,215
there's blunt-force trauma
to the back of her head.
30
00:01:16,276 --> 00:01:18,483
Let me guess,
he used the blender.
31
00:01:18,545 --> 00:01:20,957
Whatever he used,
it fractured her skull.
32
00:01:21,014 --> 00:01:22,652
I make time of death
around midnight.
33
00:01:22,716 --> 00:01:23,990
ED: Lenny.
34
00:01:24,051 --> 00:01:26,691
Blood imprint on the table.
35
00:01:26,753 --> 00:01:28,198
Waffle pattern.
36
00:01:28,255 --> 00:01:30,565
Looks like it could be
the grip of a gun.
37
00:01:30,791 --> 00:01:32,896
What about witnesses?
Still canvassing.
38
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:34,200
Building manager any help?
39
00:01:34,261 --> 00:01:35,365
He got here before we did.
40
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:38,603
He found a can of pepper spray
just inside the building.
41
00:01:38,665 --> 00:01:40,076
Starts with a push-in
off the street,
42
00:01:40,133 --> 00:01:42,135
she tries to ward him off
with the pepper spray.
43
00:01:42,202 --> 00:01:44,011
I guess he overreacted.
44
00:02:35,455 --> 00:02:37,093
HOWARD: Lucy was like
most of our neighbors.
45
00:02:37,157 --> 00:02:39,467
We'd say "hi" to each other,
but that's about it.
46
00:02:39,526 --> 00:02:41,528
But she'd always warm up
when I was with the baby.
47
00:02:41,595 --> 00:02:43,131
ED: What did
she do for a living?
48
00:02:43,196 --> 00:02:46,268
Some kind of fund-raiser
work for charities, I think.
49
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:47,641
When was the last time
you saw her?
50
00:02:47,701 --> 00:02:50,910
Yesterday morning. I was on my way to
work, and she was trying to catch a cab.
51
00:02:51,571 --> 00:02:53,482
What about you?
A few days ago.
52
00:02:54,641 --> 00:02:57,349
What about last night? Either of you
notice anything out of the ordinary?
53
00:02:58,745 --> 00:03:03,057
I came home about 7:00, and Beth
and I never left the house.
54
00:03:04,217 --> 00:03:05,218
ED: Mrs. Miller?
55
00:03:07,421 --> 00:03:09,731
There was something
a little before 9:00.
56
00:03:10,490 --> 00:03:13,562
Howard was in the shower and I was
trying to get the baby to sleep.
57
00:03:13,627 --> 00:03:15,834
The buzzer rang
and a man asked for Lucy.
58
00:03:15,896 --> 00:03:17,807
Don't tell me you buzzed him in.
I didn't.
59
00:03:17,864 --> 00:03:20,504
I just told him
she lived in six.
60
00:03:20,567 --> 00:03:21,910
He sounded like he knew her.
61
00:03:21,968 --> 00:03:23,413
He just had the wrong floor.
62
00:03:23,470 --> 00:03:25,973
Detectives, we got
a witness up the block.
63
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:27,245
Thanks.
64
00:03:30,077 --> 00:03:31,886
I was coming back from
my parents' place.
65
00:03:31,945 --> 00:03:35,722
It was around 10:30, and a
guy was sitting on the steps
66
00:03:35,782 --> 00:03:37,284
over there at the loading dock.
67
00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:38,420
What did he look like?
68
00:03:38,485 --> 00:03:41,125
He was white, he had dark hair,
69
00:03:41,188 --> 00:03:44,601
I would say about 40. I would
recognize him if I saw him again.
70
00:03:44,658 --> 00:03:46,137
You ever notice him
around here before?
71
00:03:46,193 --> 00:03:47,831
No. I do see
people sleeping
72
00:03:47,894 --> 00:03:49,703
there all the time,
but this guy wasn't homeless.
73
00:03:49,763 --> 00:03:52,801
It might have been one of your
neighbors just out for some fresh air.
74
00:03:52,866 --> 00:03:54,243
I don't think so.
He looked
75
00:03:54,301 --> 00:03:55,974
like he was waiting
for someone.
76
00:03:56,036 --> 00:03:57,481
BRISCOE: You read his mind?
77
00:03:57,537 --> 00:04:01,610
No. He gave me the once-over when I walked by.
Maybe he thought I was someone else.
78
00:04:02,809 --> 00:04:05,221
A clear view of
the victim's front door.
79
00:04:06,279 --> 00:04:07,781
Somebody left some garbage.
80
00:04:07,848 --> 00:04:09,088
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
81
00:04:10,917 --> 00:04:13,090
Hey, we ain't open yet.
Yeah, you are.
82
00:04:13,153 --> 00:04:14,530
Who cleans up out here?
83
00:04:14,588 --> 00:04:15,658
Me.
84
00:04:15,722 --> 00:04:17,292
How often do you sweep up?
85
00:04:17,357 --> 00:04:19,803
Every night before
we close up. 5:00.
86
00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:23,171
So this garbage wasn't out here
when you went home last night?
87
00:04:23,230 --> 00:04:25,767
No, sir. Your company
have a night watchman?
88
00:04:25,832 --> 00:04:28,108
Not for a couple of years.
All right, thanks.
89
00:04:31,605 --> 00:04:33,607
"Drug Hut."
Receipt?
90
00:04:33,673 --> 00:04:36,244
Empty. Let's bag it off
for prints.
91
00:04:38,145 --> 00:04:41,024
Our witness is in with the sketch artist
and as soon as the composite's done,
92
00:04:41,081 --> 00:04:42,651
we'll circulate it
with the local Drug Huts.
93
00:04:42,716 --> 00:04:44,024
We have a psycho on our hands?
94
00:04:44,084 --> 00:04:47,065
Well, the guy didn't just stumble onto Lucy Young.
He knew her name and
95
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,258
where she lived.
96
00:04:48,321 --> 00:04:49,698
M.E. said
she put up a fight, too.
97
00:04:49,756 --> 00:04:51,565
Navy blue fibers underneath
her fingernails.
98
00:04:51,625 --> 00:04:53,104
Well, that corroborates
your witness.
99
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,232
M.E. also says that she was
knocked out cold by something
100
00:04:56,296 --> 00:05:00,438
with a distinct, hard edge, an inch or
two in length, then her wrists were cut.
101
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:02,912
Yeah, there was a waffle pattern
similar to a gun handle
102
00:05:02,969 --> 00:05:05,540
imprinted in the blood
on the coffee table.
103
00:05:05,605 --> 00:05:06,675
Sexual assault?
104
00:05:06,740 --> 00:05:09,482
No. No evidence
of penetration, no fluids.
105
00:05:09,543 --> 00:05:12,456
No rape, no robbery? Why not just
shoot her and be done with it?
106
00:05:12,512 --> 00:05:13,684
ED: Too much noise?
107
00:05:13,747 --> 00:05:15,226
Or a big score to settle.
108
00:05:16,049 --> 00:05:18,529
We got the names of some of her
friends from her Palm Pilot.
109
00:05:19,553 --> 00:05:20,691
Check 'em out.
110
00:05:21,288 --> 00:05:24,269
I was Lucy's roommate
at Vassar.
111
00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:26,167
About the closest
friend she had.
112
00:05:26,226 --> 00:05:28,228
Ms. Young have
any enemies?
113
00:05:28,295 --> 00:05:30,639
Do you think she was killed
by somebody she knew?
114
00:05:30,697 --> 00:05:34,611
Well, the way she was killed,
Ms. Fadden, it's a possibility.
115
00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:35,942
What do you mean?
116
00:05:36,002 --> 00:05:37,140
Her hands were severed.
117
00:05:42,776 --> 00:05:44,585
Are you all right?
118
00:05:44,644 --> 00:05:49,024
I've known Lucy 15 years.
I can't imagine
119
00:05:49,082 --> 00:05:51,892
her mixed-up with
anybody capable of that.
120
00:05:52,252 --> 00:05:54,698
Her neighbors said
she worked with charities.
121
00:05:55,422 --> 00:05:59,495
She was a charity. Her father
left her millions of dollars.
122
00:05:59,559 --> 00:06:00,936
Who'd she give her money to?
123
00:06:00,994 --> 00:06:03,838
Actors, artists, musicians.
124
00:06:03,897 --> 00:06:05,638
The further out of the
mainstream, the better.
125
00:06:06,566 --> 00:06:09,046
Any of these charity types
giving her any trouble?
126
00:06:10,704 --> 00:06:15,414
She was having problems with
an artist that she helped out.
127
00:06:15,475 --> 00:06:17,648
I overheard a phone call,
and Lucy was in tears.
128
00:06:17,711 --> 00:06:20,089
ED: She say
any more about it?
129
00:06:20,146 --> 00:06:21,591
All I know is,
it was about money.
130
00:06:22,515 --> 00:06:24,927
Who would know the whole story?
131
00:06:24,985 --> 00:06:27,261
Arnie Fields,
Lucy's business manager.
132
00:06:31,358 --> 00:06:33,634
I never had a client
who was murdered.
133
00:06:33,693 --> 00:06:37,163
Her friend said she was having
some problems with an artist.
134
00:06:37,230 --> 00:06:40,507
Well, I know she bought a
piece of sculpture recently.
135
00:06:40,567 --> 00:06:41,944
From where?
136
00:06:42,002 --> 00:06:44,915
Uh... Here.
(GRUNTING)
137
00:06:48,074 --> 00:06:51,988
A check for $25,000
138
00:06:52,045 --> 00:06:53,718
payable to Erica Yelin.
139
00:06:53,780 --> 00:06:55,760
Mind if I take a look?
140
00:06:55,815 --> 00:06:57,294
This Yelin an artist?
141
00:06:57,350 --> 00:06:58,761
I think so.
142
00:07:01,121 --> 00:07:04,466
A check made to cash for a
hundred grand, on the 3rd.
143
00:07:04,524 --> 00:07:05,525
What was that about?
144
00:07:07,060 --> 00:07:10,041
That kind of money changes hands a week
before a murder, we need to look into it.
145
00:07:11,531 --> 00:07:14,512
The money was for Paul
Radford, the art dealer.
146
00:07:14,567 --> 00:07:17,844
The Radford Gallery? He's not
one of her charity cases.
147
00:07:17,904 --> 00:07:20,578
Well, I assumed Lucy bought
some more art.
148
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,779
Why with cash? She
would've given him a check
149
00:07:22,842 --> 00:07:25,049
for appraisal purposes,
like she did with Yelin.
150
00:07:25,712 --> 00:07:28,318
She never told me
what it was for.
151
00:07:28,381 --> 00:07:31,123
Lucy intended our affairs
to be confidential.
152
00:07:31,184 --> 00:07:33,562
Unfortunately, she's not
here to confirm that.
153
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:35,930
Where were you Tuesday night,
Mr. Radford, around midnight?
154
00:07:35,989 --> 00:07:39,061
At my gallery, paying bills,
answering some letters.
155
00:07:39,125 --> 00:07:40,126
Alone?
156
00:07:40,193 --> 00:07:43,663
Yes. You don't seriously think I
was involved in this horror show?
157
00:07:43,730 --> 00:07:46,142
She gave you a hundred thousand
dollars and you won't tell us why.
158
00:07:49,836 --> 00:07:53,113
Lucy backed a number of up-and-coming
artists with that money.
159
00:07:53,573 --> 00:07:54,608
Why'd she need you?
160
00:07:54,674 --> 00:07:56,278
I was her talent scout.
161
00:07:56,343 --> 00:07:59,483
So, she just handed you a wad of
cash with no strings attached?
162
00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:01,415
Take a look around, Detective.
163
00:08:02,382 --> 00:08:06,797
Most of this art was given to me by
artists I discovered and nurtured.
164
00:08:06,853 --> 00:08:08,526
Lucy wanted to be
a part of the magic.
165
00:08:08,588 --> 00:08:10,329
The money was
a small price to pay.
166
00:08:11,024 --> 00:08:13,903
Show us your paperwork, we'll
let you get back to your magic.
167
00:08:14,194 --> 00:08:16,299
I don't feel comfortable
with that.
168
00:08:16,363 --> 00:08:18,843
Maybe you'd be more
comfortable at the precinct.
169
00:08:18,898 --> 00:08:21,310
I'm sure you understand.
170
00:08:21,368 --> 00:08:23,075
These were cash incentives.
171
00:08:23,136 --> 00:08:25,173
As in undeclared income?
172
00:08:25,238 --> 00:08:28,151
We're looking for a murderer,
not a bunch of tax cheats.
173
00:08:28,208 --> 00:08:30,347
I'm sorry, I don't think
you speak for the IRS.
174
00:08:30,410 --> 00:08:33,289
I'll have to refer you
to my lawyer.
175
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,155
Radford doesn't strike me as a guy
who'd get his silk robe bloody.
176
00:08:37,217 --> 00:08:39,959
If he's just a talent scout,
why is he scared of the IRS?
177
00:08:40,020 --> 00:08:43,593
So what? She pepper
sprays a guy she knows?
178
00:08:43,656 --> 00:08:46,535
Maybe the artist she bought the sculpture
from was one of these up-and-comers.
179
00:08:48,495 --> 00:08:50,202
Paul Radford is
an arrogant bastard,
180
00:08:50,263 --> 00:08:52,072
but he's good at what he does.
181
00:08:52,132 --> 00:08:54,908
If your work needs
exposure, he's the man.
182
00:08:54,968 --> 00:08:57,107
Your work looks
pretty exposed already.
183
00:08:57,170 --> 00:08:59,150
That's what Lucy
liked about it.
184
00:08:59,205 --> 00:09:00,240
I'm gonna miss her.
185
00:09:00,306 --> 00:09:02,912
Well, I'm sure Radford can
find you another patron.
186
00:09:02,976 --> 00:09:05,354
Well, to tell you the truth,
Paul's not a big fan.
187
00:09:05,412 --> 00:09:08,825
We read that he showed your work at his
gallery on Long Island City last year.
188
00:09:08,882 --> 00:09:10,156
That was Lucy's doing.
189
00:09:10,216 --> 00:09:11,786
That gallery is
a launching pad,
190
00:09:11,851 --> 00:09:13,853
and I'd been trying to get
in there for a long time,
191
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,797
but Paul kept dissing me.
192
00:09:15,855 --> 00:09:17,857
How did Ms. Young manage
to change his mind?
193
00:09:17,924 --> 00:09:20,632
All I know is Lucy was
impressed with my work,
194
00:09:20,693 --> 00:09:22,263
said she'd talk to Paul.
195
00:09:22,328 --> 00:09:24,899
And two weeks later,
I was in a group show there.
196
00:09:24,964 --> 00:09:26,807
Sounds like some money
changed hands.
197
00:09:26,866 --> 00:09:28,846
Well, if it did, it couldn't
have been too much.
198
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:29,937
Why do you say that?
199
00:09:30,003 --> 00:09:34,315
I was supposed to have a solo show at
Paul's gallery in Chelsea next month,
200
00:09:34,374 --> 00:09:37,878
but I got a call from Lucy
this past weekend.
201
00:09:37,944 --> 00:09:39,719
Paul backed out.
202
00:09:40,313 --> 00:09:42,554
Well, Sam, it takes six
weeks, you know that.
203
00:09:42,615 --> 00:09:43,787
Paul.
204
00:09:44,918 --> 00:09:48,422
It takes six... It takes
six weeks to do that. Yep.
205
00:09:48,488 --> 00:09:50,195
What the hell is going on?
206
00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:52,167
We're gonna take a little ride,
to finish our discussion.
207
00:09:52,225 --> 00:09:53,863
There is nothing to discuss.
208
00:09:53,927 --> 00:09:57,465
You took Lucy Young's
money and stiffed her.
209
00:09:57,530 --> 00:10:02,070
She gave you a hundred grand to exhibit
Erica Yelin's show at your Chelsea gallery.
210
00:10:02,135 --> 00:10:04,672
You took the money
and you ran out.
211
00:10:04,737 --> 00:10:06,273
Close the door, please.
212
00:10:07,874 --> 00:10:11,083
What happened, Mr. Radford?
She threaten to expose you?
213
00:10:11,144 --> 00:10:14,318
Maybe you lopped off her hands to
make it look like some psycho.
214
00:10:14,514 --> 00:10:16,790
You have vivid imaginations.
215
00:10:16,850 --> 00:10:19,387
Erica's show was canceled
because her work isn't selling.
216
00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:21,989
Lucy even had to buy
one of her pieces.
217
00:10:22,055 --> 00:10:23,898
And the money she paid me
218
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:25,766
was to support a show
this summer.
219
00:10:25,825 --> 00:10:27,930
A water colorist
named Harvey Cornell.
220
00:10:27,994 --> 00:10:29,302
Why didn't you
tell us that before?
221
00:10:29,362 --> 00:10:30,864
I had to protect my reputation.
222
00:10:30,930 --> 00:10:33,706
I hold myself out as
a neutral arbiter of talent.
223
00:10:33,767 --> 00:10:36,646
Instead of a hustler for sale
to the highest bidder.
224
00:10:36,703 --> 00:10:41,448
Museums take secret commissions when
pieces they're exhibiting are sold.
225
00:10:41,508 --> 00:10:44,955
Remember the Sensation exhibit that caused
the big stir at the Brooklyn Museum?
226
00:10:45,011 --> 00:10:48,515
Charles Saatchi gave them money,
they exhibited art he owned.
227
00:10:48,581 --> 00:10:52,222
Nice scam. His art goes up in
value and he gets a write off.
228
00:10:53,553 --> 00:10:55,260
It's the way of my world,
Detective.
229
00:10:56,723 --> 00:10:59,294
I left here around 9:00
on Tuesday night.
230
00:10:59,359 --> 00:11:00,997
Was Mr. Radford
still here?
231
00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:03,768
He stayed to write some checks
and take care of some paperwork.
232
00:11:03,863 --> 00:11:06,605
Anybody who can verify
what time he left?
233
00:11:06,666 --> 00:11:09,840
I don't think so. But I'm pretty
sure he was here 'cause the next day
234
00:11:09,903 --> 00:11:13,510
he handed me a big stack of bills and
letters to run to the post office.
235
00:11:13,573 --> 00:11:15,746
Lennie, take a look.
236
00:11:17,710 --> 00:11:18,882
Who painted this?
237
00:11:18,945 --> 00:11:20,117
An artist named Mark Vee.
238
00:11:20,180 --> 00:11:21,557
He just had a show here.
239
00:11:21,614 --> 00:11:23,924
It's called Perfect Woman 3.
240
00:11:23,983 --> 00:11:26,259
Look, Ma, no hands.
And no mouth.
241
00:11:31,224 --> 00:11:34,171
A woman this perfect
had to be painted by a man.
242
00:11:34,227 --> 00:11:38,266
Mmm-hmm. Mark Vee, one of Art Digest's
painters to watch in the new millennium.
243
00:11:38,331 --> 00:11:40,038
What's his connection
to Lucy Young?
244
00:11:40,099 --> 00:11:43,444
Well, according to Paul Radford, she
backed him to the tune of 20 grand a year.
245
00:11:43,503 --> 00:11:45,710
Anything beyond a
professional relationship?
246
00:11:45,772 --> 00:11:47,547
Not that anybody knows about.
247
00:11:47,607 --> 00:11:50,816
Guy's got a couple of old
dope busts in Pittsburgh,
248
00:11:50,877 --> 00:11:53,551
and one obscenity
conviction in Cincinnati.
249
00:11:53,613 --> 00:11:54,785
Over this stuff?
250
00:11:54,847 --> 00:11:58,954
He went through a religious phase,
dipping holy images into bodily fluids.
251
00:11:59,018 --> 00:12:01,396
Ugh! I'm glad
he moved on.
252
00:12:01,454 --> 00:12:03,764
Any beefs between
him and Lucy Young?
253
00:12:03,823 --> 00:12:04,961
Not that we've heard of.
254
00:12:05,024 --> 00:12:08,528
Well, let's see what this
Mr. Vee has to say for himself.
255
00:12:10,496 --> 00:12:11,702
Too bad about Lucy.
256
00:12:11,764 --> 00:12:15,678
Sorry for your loss. Twenty grand
buys a lot of paint thinner.
257
00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:17,772
Lucy meant more to me
than money.
258
00:12:17,837 --> 00:12:19,475
Yeah? How so?
259
00:12:19,539 --> 00:12:22,019
She believed in my work.
260
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:23,645
She must've had
a strong stomach.
261
00:12:23,710 --> 00:12:26,190
My art revolts you. Good.
262
00:12:26,246 --> 00:12:28,749
You know, Ms. Young's
hands were cut off.
263
00:12:30,450 --> 00:12:31,588
I didn't know.
264
00:12:31,651 --> 00:12:33,688
Remarkable coincidence,
don't you think?
265
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:35,232
You mean my painting?
266
00:12:35,288 --> 00:12:37,165
It's definitely misogynistic.
267
00:12:37,223 --> 00:12:38,395
Whatever you say.
268
00:12:38,458 --> 00:12:41,769
How about you say where you were
the night Ms. Young was killed.
269
00:12:41,828 --> 00:12:43,432
You're investigating me?
270
00:12:43,496 --> 00:12:45,237
The killing resembles
your painting.
271
00:12:45,298 --> 00:12:47,710
I was with a reporter.
We were at Waterloo.
272
00:12:47,767 --> 00:12:49,644
(SIGHS) And
the reporter's name?
273
00:12:49,702 --> 00:12:52,945
Betsy Braun.
From Pitch magazine.
274
00:12:53,006 --> 00:12:56,283
I was at the bar with Mark
from 11:00 to about 2:00.
275
00:12:56,342 --> 00:12:57,787
He's a fascinating man.
276
00:12:57,844 --> 00:12:59,323
You like the stuff he paints?
277
00:12:59,379 --> 00:13:02,155
To tell you the truth, no.
But my editor does.
278
00:13:02,215 --> 00:13:06,288
How's that work? She signs your paycheck,
so you write him good reviews?
279
00:13:06,352 --> 00:13:08,457
This is more
of a personality piece.
280
00:13:08,521 --> 00:13:10,023
He's controversial.
281
00:13:10,089 --> 00:13:12,365
A lot of people are
offended by Mark's work.
282
00:13:12,425 --> 00:13:13,961
Anybody you're aware of?
283
00:13:14,027 --> 00:13:17,873
You know, there was a guy at the opening
who was harassing some of the guests.
284
00:13:17,931 --> 00:13:19,069
What do you mean, harassing?
285
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:21,408
Well, he was saying things
like they should be ashamed
286
00:13:21,467 --> 00:13:24,175
for supporting Mark.
They asked him to leave.
287
00:13:24,237 --> 00:13:25,614
I followed him out
and tried to talk to him.
288
00:13:25,672 --> 00:13:27,515
Thought it'd be good
stuff for my article.
289
00:13:27,573 --> 00:13:29,075
Does he look
anything like this?
290
00:13:29,876 --> 00:13:30,911
A lot.
291
00:13:30,977 --> 00:13:32,047
Did you get his name?
292
00:13:32,111 --> 00:13:33,215
He wouldn't give it to me.
293
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:34,724
But I think he's from Brooklyn.
294
00:13:34,781 --> 00:13:36,920
Why? He had a bad haircut?
295
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:40,192
He was bitching about wasting an
hour and a half on the I train.
296
00:13:40,253 --> 00:13:41,288
Thank you.
297
00:13:42,889 --> 00:13:45,961
Hour and a half on the I train,
you'd wind up in Canarsie.
298
00:13:46,025 --> 00:13:48,335
Well, let's see how many
Drug Huts they got out there.
299
00:13:51,164 --> 00:13:54,611
Take a look, he may have been in
Tuesday night, bought something small.
300
00:13:54,667 --> 00:13:57,978
I was here then,
but I don't recognize him.
301
00:13:58,037 --> 00:14:01,075
We are gonna need your credit
card receipts for that night.
302
00:14:01,908 --> 00:14:03,319
Let's check with
the pharmacist.
303
00:14:03,376 --> 00:14:05,982
Why, figure our guy came in to
pick up something for his nerves?
304
00:14:06,045 --> 00:14:07,080
Guy lives in the neighborhood,
305
00:14:07,146 --> 00:14:09,148
he's gotta get sick
sooner or later.
306
00:14:09,215 --> 00:14:10,250
What can I do for you?
307
00:14:10,316 --> 00:14:12,125
You recognize him
from the neighborhood?
308
00:14:13,786 --> 00:14:17,063
Yeah, Claritin.
Ten milligrams, five refills.
309
00:14:18,057 --> 00:14:19,627
How about a name and address?
310
00:14:19,692 --> 00:14:21,035
I'll get it from our records.
311
00:14:24,097 --> 00:14:26,099
SARAH: Hey,
did 3G call you here?
312
00:14:26,165 --> 00:14:30,170
Larry likes to play opera at night, and
they've been complaining about the noise.
313
00:14:30,236 --> 00:14:32,512
We're not here about
opera, ma'am.
314
00:14:32,572 --> 00:14:34,609
Uh, this is Larry's apartment.
315
00:14:34,674 --> 00:14:36,017
Uh, would you mind
seeing if he's home?
316
00:14:36,075 --> 00:14:39,079
Sure. Larry?
317
00:14:39,145 --> 00:14:40,886
It's Sarah.
The police are here.
318
00:14:40,947 --> 00:14:43,188
Uh, thanks. We'll
take it from here.
319
00:14:45,952 --> 00:14:47,590
Larry Brunig?
320
00:14:47,653 --> 00:14:48,688
Uh: yes?
321
00:14:48,755 --> 00:14:51,065
I'm Detective Green. This is
my partner, Detective Briscoe.
322
00:14:52,024 --> 00:14:54,470
BRISCOE: Where were you
last Tuesday night?
323
00:14:54,527 --> 00:14:55,767
Why?
324
00:14:55,828 --> 00:14:58,434
It's been a long day. Can we do this
without a whole lot of conversation?
325
00:15:00,099 --> 00:15:02,943
Well, I left work around 5:30.
326
00:15:03,436 --> 00:15:05,074
Got here at little after 6:30.
327
00:15:05,138 --> 00:15:07,209
You went straight home
from the subway?
328
00:15:07,273 --> 00:15:08,650
I stopped at
the Drug Hut first.
329
00:15:10,476 --> 00:15:11,887
And then?
330
00:15:11,944 --> 00:15:13,821
Stayed home.
331
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,382
You know a woman
named Lucy Young?
332
00:15:16,783 --> 00:15:17,853
No.
333
00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:19,897
How about Mark Vee?
334
00:15:19,952 --> 00:15:21,022
No.
335
00:15:21,087 --> 00:15:24,091
And I suppose you have never been
to the Paul Radford Gallery?
336
00:15:24,157 --> 00:15:26,398
No, I haven't.
337
00:15:26,459 --> 00:15:28,063
Are you sure I'm the person
you want to talk to?
338
00:15:29,462 --> 00:15:33,103
Maybe we're wrong. Look, do you mind if
I use your phone? My battery went dead.
339
00:15:34,167 --> 00:15:37,205
Oh, gee, I'm sorry. I'm waiting for a
call from my doctor. My mother's ill.
340
00:15:38,738 --> 00:15:40,740
So...
Sorry about that.
341
00:15:45,111 --> 00:15:48,888
The magazine reporter picked Brunig's
DMV photo out of a six pack.
342
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:51,292
Says he was the troublemaker
at Vee's opening.
343
00:15:51,350 --> 00:15:54,194
Well, that's a start. What
about Lucy Young's neighbor?
344
00:15:54,253 --> 00:15:55,425
She couldn't make the photo.
345
00:15:55,488 --> 00:15:57,399
Brunig did say he went
to the Drug Hut that night.
346
00:15:57,457 --> 00:15:58,629
Were his prints on the bag?
347
00:15:58,691 --> 00:15:59,897
Latent couldn't lift anything.
348
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:02,735
Well, see if you can tie him
directly to Lucy Young.
349
00:16:02,795 --> 00:16:05,537
Talk to the artist. If Brunig
made trouble at the gallery,
350
00:16:05,598 --> 00:16:07,908
maybe he made trouble
somewhere else.
351
00:16:10,570 --> 00:16:12,550
I don't remember him
from my opening.
352
00:16:12,605 --> 00:16:14,983
Course, I was feeling
pretty good that night.
353
00:16:15,041 --> 00:16:18,352
Was it public knowledge that
Lucy Young was backing you?
354
00:16:18,411 --> 00:16:19,890
Not too many people
knew about it.
355
00:16:19,946 --> 00:16:21,983
Lucy didn't want
to catch any flack.
356
00:16:22,048 --> 00:16:25,518
Any way this guy Brunig could have gleaned
it from one of the art periodicals?
357
00:16:25,918 --> 00:16:29,730
My girlfriend clips my reviews.
You're free to look at 'em.
358
00:16:30,323 --> 00:16:31,324
Sure.
359
00:16:31,691 --> 00:16:33,295
I have some calls to make.
360
00:16:39,232 --> 00:16:43,146
"Mark Vee has tweaked more
than a few old-school noses"
361
00:16:43,202 --> 00:16:46,046
"bravely defying the conventions
of political correctness."
362
00:16:47,106 --> 00:16:49,484
Daily Ledger.
Letters to the editor.
363
00:16:49,542 --> 00:16:52,182
"Artists like Mark Vee
threaten our moral fiber."
364
00:16:52,245 --> 00:16:54,191
"Why must philanthropists
like Lucy Young"
365
00:16:54,247 --> 00:16:56,727
"patronize the most decadent
elements of our culture?"
366
00:16:56,782 --> 00:16:57,954
Signed?
367
00:16:58,251 --> 00:17:00,253
Name withheld on request.
368
00:17:04,790 --> 00:17:07,634
Our newspaper receives, thousands
of letters every year.
369
00:17:07,693 --> 00:17:11,038
Our policy is to respect the privacy
wishes of our correspondents.
370
00:17:11,097 --> 00:17:14,135
Your editorial policy
is not a legal privilege.
371
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,737
Ever hear of the First
Amendment, Ms. Carmichael?
372
00:17:16,802 --> 00:17:18,782
Our readers need to be able
to express themselves
373
00:17:18,838 --> 00:17:21,512
without fear of intimidation
or retribution.
374
00:17:21,574 --> 00:17:25,112
There's no promise of confidentiality
made by the paper, Your Honor.
375
00:17:25,177 --> 00:17:29,125
Well, that's true, Mr. Ervin.
These are unsolicited letters.
376
00:17:29,182 --> 00:17:32,061
Ms. Carmichael is marching us
down the slippery slope, Judge.
377
00:17:32,118 --> 00:17:35,429
And Mr. Ervin could be protecting
the identity of a vicious murderer.
378
00:17:36,322 --> 00:17:38,893
(SCOFFS) Doesn't sound like this
letter was written by Hannibal Lecter.
379
00:17:38,958 --> 00:17:41,939
Is this a fishing expedition
or do you have a suspect?
380
00:17:41,994 --> 00:17:43,439
Larry Brunig.
381
00:17:43,496 --> 00:17:44,998
Let me see the original letter.
382
00:17:45,064 --> 00:17:47,305
If Brunig wrote it,
I'll order disclosure.
383
00:17:51,037 --> 00:17:53,017
I'm sorry, Ms. Carmichael.
Not your guy.
384
00:17:54,006 --> 00:17:56,885
And I'm inclined to protect
this writer's anonymity.
385
00:17:58,711 --> 00:18:02,523
Judge, the paper may not print every letter
it receives on a controversial subject.
386
00:18:03,282 --> 00:18:05,387
Well, that's true.
Isn't it, Mr. Ervin?
387
00:18:05,451 --> 00:18:09,593
Sure. Our editor may use one letter to
represent a segment of public opinion.
388
00:18:10,189 --> 00:18:12,066
Are there unprinted letters
on this subject?
389
00:18:12,124 --> 00:18:13,330
It's possible.
390
00:18:13,392 --> 00:18:15,963
Well, if there are any from Larry
Brunig, turn it over to the D.A.
391
00:18:17,730 --> 00:18:21,769
ED: "Purveyors of misogynist filth
like Mark Vee need to be ignored",
392
00:18:22,335 --> 00:18:24,872
"but those responsible for
its dissemination offend"
393
00:18:24,937 --> 00:18:27,611
"the sensibilities of
good people everywhere."
394
00:18:27,673 --> 00:18:30,176
"Their fate should be
in a category all its own."
395
00:18:31,244 --> 00:18:32,882
No wonder they
didn't print that.
396
00:18:32,945 --> 00:18:34,481
It's practically
a death threat.
397
00:18:34,547 --> 00:18:36,322
I wrote a letter.
I didn't kill that woman.
398
00:18:36,549 --> 00:18:39,792
You told us you never heard
of Mark Vee or Paul Radford.
399
00:18:40,052 --> 00:18:43,124
I misspoke, okay? I was home that night.
You can ask my landlady.
400
00:18:43,189 --> 00:18:45,692
We will. My partner's there right
now, searching your apartment.
401
00:18:52,698 --> 00:18:55,110
I'm gonna call over
there, Mr. Brunig.
402
00:18:55,167 --> 00:18:57,807
Anything you want to say before
we find out what he turned up?
403
00:18:57,870 --> 00:18:59,611
He won't turn up anything.
404
00:19:07,713 --> 00:19:10,956
You know, they find something out
there, I gotta go right to the D.A.
405
00:19:11,017 --> 00:19:14,328
So, you and I don't have a lot
of time to set things straight.
406
00:19:15,087 --> 00:19:17,328
There's nothing
to set straight.
407
00:19:17,390 --> 00:19:19,961
Look, I'm on your side.
408
00:19:21,627 --> 00:19:24,301
You think this painting
didn't piss me off, too?
409
00:19:25,698 --> 00:19:29,111
The first time I saw it,
it turned my stomach.
410
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:36,415
You're making this very hard
on yourself, Mr. Brunig.
411
00:19:36,475 --> 00:19:40,423
We have a room full of witnesses
who put you in the gallery.
412
00:19:41,547 --> 00:19:42,719
What if I was there?
413
00:19:43,282 --> 00:19:45,421
I can imagine how you felt.
414
00:19:46,052 --> 00:19:49,556
What do you think it's like
being a woman and seeing this?
415
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:52,464
It's disgraceful.
416
00:19:52,925 --> 00:19:53,960
Yeah.
417
00:19:54,026 --> 00:19:55,596
You know what this guy
used to do?
418
00:19:56,595 --> 00:19:58,939
Marinate Madonnas
in pig's blood.
419
00:19:59,265 --> 00:20:00,903
And he calls that art.
420
00:20:00,966 --> 00:20:03,207
Now, how does
he get away with that?
421
00:20:03,269 --> 00:20:04,373
I don't know.
422
00:20:04,437 --> 00:20:08,908
And Lucy Young, she's the one
who made it all possible.
423
00:20:09,542 --> 00:20:11,488
I told you I didn't know her.
424
00:20:11,544 --> 00:20:13,421
All that money she had.
425
00:20:13,813 --> 00:20:15,918
And what can people
like me and you do?
426
00:20:17,216 --> 00:20:19,196
Write letters that
they don't even publish.
427
00:20:19,518 --> 00:20:21,725
You ask me,
she brought it on herself.
428
00:20:22,121 --> 00:20:24,067
What you did to her was
429
00:20:25,725 --> 00:20:27,705
Biblical justice.
430
00:20:29,228 --> 00:20:31,469
An eye for an eye.
431
00:20:32,398 --> 00:20:34,071
Now, you lay it out for me,
432
00:20:35,835 --> 00:20:37,940
and I'll see
what I can do for you.
433
00:20:41,941 --> 00:20:43,181
I'm getting very tired.
434
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:48,123
Yes. Tell me what happened
and it'll all be over.
435
00:20:51,717 --> 00:20:53,424
Can I get some coffee?
436
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,696
You signed your name
to this letter,
437
00:20:59,358 --> 00:21:02,168
so I know you're not a coward.
438
00:21:03,262 --> 00:21:05,037
Black, please.
439
00:21:09,168 --> 00:21:11,148
Bunch of brochures
from art galleries.
440
00:21:11,737 --> 00:21:13,717
Nothing on Mark Vee.
441
00:21:13,773 --> 00:21:17,983
How does Brunig slog through six quarts
of blood and we can't find a drop?
442
00:21:18,044 --> 00:21:19,250
Maybe he's not our guy.
443
00:21:19,311 --> 00:21:20,790
Or he cleans up real good.
444
00:21:21,547 --> 00:21:24,255
Detective, we got something
on the metal detector.
445
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:34,369
Waffle grip.
446
00:21:36,061 --> 00:21:37,369
My lawyer show up yet?
447
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:39,273
I told him to meet you
at Rikers Island.
448
00:21:39,331 --> 00:21:41,208
We found out what you've
been feeding your plants.
449
00:21:41,267 --> 00:21:43,543
You're under arrest for
the murder of Lucy Young.
450
00:21:43,602 --> 00:21:45,309
You have the right
to remain silent.
451
00:21:45,371 --> 00:21:48,409
Anything you say can be used
against you in a court of law.
452
00:21:50,276 --> 00:21:52,620
Can I get a better look
at Number 3?
453
00:21:53,813 --> 00:21:56,259
Have Number 3
step forward, please.
454
00:21:56,849 --> 00:21:58,157
Step forward.
Right here.
455
00:22:00,152 --> 00:22:01,153
Stay there.
456
00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:03,600
Okay. Yeah, I'm pretty
sure that that's him.
457
00:22:03,656 --> 00:22:05,294
That's the guy that was
on the loading dock.
458
00:22:05,357 --> 00:22:06,495
You're pretty sure?
459
00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:08,266
You're here to
observe, Mr. Olson.
460
00:22:08,761 --> 00:22:10,365
Take your time,
Ms. LaPorte.
461
00:22:11,430 --> 00:22:14,138
Well, I think that that's him.
462
00:22:15,601 --> 00:22:17,410
Thank you. We'll be in touch.
463
00:22:19,972 --> 00:22:21,781
Well, I believe Mr. Brunig
will be leaving, too.
464
00:22:22,508 --> 00:22:24,010
You think I'm letting him
back on the street?
465
00:22:24,910 --> 00:22:26,548
We're arraigning him
on gun possession.
466
00:22:29,381 --> 00:22:31,691
Larry Brunig leads
a fairly unremarkable life.
467
00:22:32,284 --> 00:22:34,423
He was a proofreader
at an insurance company,
468
00:22:34,887 --> 00:22:36,628
and his sheet's clean,
not even a traffic ticket.
469
00:22:37,389 --> 00:22:38,925
Somebody spike his
oatmeal one morning?
470
00:22:39,458 --> 00:22:42,701
Apparently he had problems with the
paintings the victim promoted.
471
00:22:43,229 --> 00:22:46,472
It's a big leap from writing a
letter to chopping off her hands.
472
00:22:46,532 --> 00:22:47,909
What's he got for an alibi?
473
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:49,505
Home by himself.
474
00:22:50,936 --> 00:22:51,937
Prove he wasn't.
475
00:22:53,539 --> 00:22:57,419
I'm sure Larry was home that night. I
remember his music being up real loud.
476
00:22:58,110 --> 00:22:59,555
What time was that?
477
00:22:59,612 --> 00:23:00,784
Around 7:30.
478
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,260
My mah-jong game was
just getting started
479
00:23:03,315 --> 00:23:06,023
and Bev Schlenoff was
complaining she couldn't hear.
480
00:23:06,452 --> 00:23:07,692
It must have been pretty loud.
481
00:23:08,020 --> 00:23:09,328
These walls are like paper.
482
00:23:09,588 --> 00:23:12,694
So I called Larry on the phone, and
he turned it off. He's nice that way.
483
00:23:13,692 --> 00:23:16,070
Once it was quiet, did you
hear him leave his apartment?
484
00:23:16,795 --> 00:23:17,796
I wouldn't know.
485
00:23:18,631 --> 00:23:21,077
Usually when he gets home from
work, he's in for the night.
486
00:23:21,534 --> 00:23:23,104
Not much of a social life?
487
00:23:23,169 --> 00:23:24,170
Not recently.
488
00:23:24,470 --> 00:23:26,507
But when he moved in here,
he was a different person.
489
00:23:27,206 --> 00:23:28,617
Different in what way?
490
00:23:29,275 --> 00:23:30,754
Let me show you
something, dear.
491
00:23:34,346 --> 00:23:35,484
See?
492
00:23:37,182 --> 00:23:39,753
That's not bad.
Brunig did that?
493
00:23:40,185 --> 00:23:43,530
Larry couldn't make his rent one
month, so he gave me this instead.
494
00:23:44,623 --> 00:23:45,863
How long ago was that?
495
00:23:46,525 --> 00:23:50,371
Oh, five or six years ago.
Then one morning I got up
496
00:23:50,796 --> 00:23:54,369
and all the paintings that were in his
apartment were out with the garbage.
497
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,741
The canvasses had been slashed.
498
00:23:58,037 --> 00:24:00,347
That's a pretty big statement. Did
he ever talk to you about it?
499
00:24:01,941 --> 00:24:04,444
From what I could tell,
he just gave up.
500
00:24:06,579 --> 00:24:09,856
Larry Brunig. He'd turn up with a new
painting every three or four months.
501
00:24:10,449 --> 00:24:12,554
I only sold one, to a lady in Great Neck.
She liked it
502
00:24:12,618 --> 00:24:14,996
because the colors
matched her sofa.
503
00:24:15,054 --> 00:24:17,330
You know, I saw one of his paintings.
It wasn't half bad.
504
00:24:17,690 --> 00:24:19,670
I have something really nice
that might interest you.
505
00:24:19,725 --> 00:24:20,760
No thanks.
506
00:24:20,826 --> 00:24:22,100
I'll give you a break
on the price.
507
00:24:22,161 --> 00:24:23,640
I'm not in the market,
Mr. Boyd.
508
00:24:23,696 --> 00:24:25,801
All right.
Larry tried hard.
509
00:24:25,864 --> 00:24:28,037
He was prolific, but the kind of
work he did just wasn't selling.
510
00:24:28,100 --> 00:24:29,943
I had to stop representing him.
511
00:24:30,002 --> 00:24:31,379
How'd he react
when you told him?
512
00:24:31,437 --> 00:24:34,441
Larry's not stupid. He saw the
writing on the wall, took a day job.
513
00:24:34,506 --> 00:24:36,110
We parted ways on good terms.
514
00:24:37,109 --> 00:24:38,850
When's the last time
you spoke to him?
515
00:24:38,911 --> 00:24:42,085
I heard from him three years ago.
In fact, I did him a big favor.
516
00:24:42,147 --> 00:24:43,285
What kind of favor?
517
00:24:43,849 --> 00:24:46,523
I got a call from a woman who was
traveling with Larry in Spain.
518
00:24:46,585 --> 00:24:48,724
Said he was having some trouble
with the police and needed money.
519
00:24:49,188 --> 00:24:51,168
I sent him some.
What happened?
520
00:24:51,223 --> 00:24:53,760
I never got the whole story
I wired him $2,000.
521
00:24:54,193 --> 00:24:55,672
Took him about a year,
but Larry paid me back.
522
00:24:56,362 --> 00:24:58,205
Do you remember
the woman's name?
523
00:24:58,597 --> 00:25:02,568
It was his girlfriend. She said she worked
with Larry at some insurance company.
524
00:25:06,572 --> 00:25:08,950
We went to Spain together
on vacation.
525
00:25:09,441 --> 00:25:13,787
I knew Larry loved art, but all he wanted
to do was visit churches and museums.
526
00:25:14,713 --> 00:25:18,217
You had Otto Boyd wire him some money while
you were there. What was that about?
527
00:25:19,652 --> 00:25:21,097
Larry's got enough problems.
528
00:25:22,554 --> 00:25:26,024
You had to make the call for
him, so I assume he was in jail.
529
00:25:26,425 --> 00:25:28,905
If you want to know what happened,
try the Barcelona police.
530
00:25:30,062 --> 00:25:31,405
Do you know what
he did to that woman?
531
00:25:31,463 --> 00:25:33,465
I know what I read
in the paper.
532
00:25:34,133 --> 00:25:36,170
Well, let me tell you
what wasn't in the paper.
533
00:25:36,902 --> 00:25:39,280
She was still alive
when he cut her hands off.
534
00:25:42,241 --> 00:25:43,879
Larry wouldn't do that.
535
00:25:43,942 --> 00:25:46,183
He was offended by
a painting she sponsored.
536
00:25:46,779 --> 00:25:47,985
A woman with no hands.
537
00:25:48,881 --> 00:25:50,292
A painting?
538
00:25:50,983 --> 00:25:52,519
Talk to me, Ms. Branson.
539
00:25:55,821 --> 00:25:58,131
Larry kept going back to
this one museum.
540
00:25:58,190 --> 00:26:01,296
There was a painting
by Salvador Dali.
541
00:26:01,894 --> 00:26:03,066
He took me to see it.
542
00:26:03,696 --> 00:26:07,576
It was this woman, she had
no head, no hands, no feet.
543
00:26:08,334 --> 00:26:10,871
I couldn't understand
his fascination.
544
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:14,642
Made me think he was
a little strange.
545
00:26:15,507 --> 00:26:17,043
How'd the police get involved?
546
00:26:17,109 --> 00:26:18,782
One night, Larry called me
at our hotel.
547
00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:20,890
He, uh, was in jail.
548
00:26:21,747 --> 00:26:23,954
They said he tried to vandalize
the painting with spray paint.
549
00:26:25,484 --> 00:26:28,488
CARMICHAEL: The guards jumped Brunig
before he could get the top off the can.
550
00:26:28,554 --> 00:26:29,624
Thank heavens.
551
00:26:29,688 --> 00:26:32,828
As they dragged him away, Brunig shouted
the museum should be closed down
552
00:26:32,891 --> 00:26:34,893
for hanging paintings
by women-haters.
553
00:26:35,260 --> 00:26:37,934
What do you get in Spain for
trying to paint a painting?
554
00:26:38,564 --> 00:26:40,942
Well, they detained him
until he paid a fine,
555
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,072
and made the State Department invalidate
his passport for travel to Spain.
556
00:26:44,703 --> 00:26:46,546
It establishes a pattern
of behavior and a motive.
557
00:26:47,072 --> 00:26:49,313
We'll need a witness
from the Barcelona Museum.
558
00:26:49,374 --> 00:26:50,375
Barcelona,
559
00:26:51,510 --> 00:26:53,080
a headless woman, it's...
560
00:26:54,013 --> 00:26:55,014
Surreal?
561
00:27:00,552 --> 00:27:02,361
"Docket number 4219,"
562
00:27:02,421 --> 00:27:05,527
"People v. Larry Brunig,
murder in the first degree."
563
00:27:05,724 --> 00:27:07,328
Murder one?
That's over-charging.
564
00:27:07,826 --> 00:27:09,828
The victim's hands were
severed before death.
565
00:27:09,895 --> 00:27:12,136
She was killed in a cruel
and wanton manner.
566
00:27:12,965 --> 00:27:15,070
Murder one sounds good to me.
How's he plead?
567
00:27:15,134 --> 00:27:16,442
Not guilty, Your Honor.
568
00:27:16,502 --> 00:27:17,572
People request remand.
569
00:27:17,970 --> 00:27:19,881
My client has a steady job
a stable residence,
570
00:27:19,938 --> 00:27:21,474
absolutely no criminal record.
571
00:27:21,540 --> 00:27:23,247
In this country.
572
00:27:23,308 --> 00:27:26,448
Your Honor, he was arrested in Spain. He
tried to deface a prominent painting by
573
00:27:26,512 --> 00:27:29,015
Salvador Dali, which depicted
a dismembered woman.
574
00:27:30,115 --> 00:27:31,423
What about this, Mr. Olson?
575
00:27:31,717 --> 00:27:34,789
What happened in Spain is not
admissible against my client.
576
00:27:34,853 --> 00:27:37,163
I'm asking Your Honor
to preclude this evidence.
577
00:27:37,756 --> 00:27:40,669
It's admissible at a bail
argument. I'm remanding him.
578
00:27:41,193 --> 00:27:42,672
I'll refer your motion
to the trial judge.
579
00:27:42,728 --> 00:27:43,832
Next case.
580
00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:46,301
COURT CLERK:
"Docket number 367..."
581
00:27:46,365 --> 00:27:49,175
They can't place my client at the murder
scene, so they attack his character.
582
00:27:49,601 --> 00:27:50,705
It's relevant to his motive.
583
00:27:50,769 --> 00:27:52,874
He tired to attack
a painting, not a person.
584
00:27:52,938 --> 00:27:56,112
But the Barcelona incident shows
that he was incited to violence
585
00:27:56,175 --> 00:27:58,917
by exactly the same image. It's
practically his trademark.
586
00:27:59,111 --> 00:28:01,614
He had white paint. Now they're
talking about a kitchen knife.
587
00:28:02,014 --> 00:28:03,584
It has no probative value.
588
00:28:03,649 --> 00:28:06,926
Don't I have to weigh the possibility
of prejudice, Mr. McCoy?
589
00:28:06,985 --> 00:28:08,965
Exactly, Judge. No jury
can hear about Barcelona
590
00:28:09,021 --> 00:28:10,932
and still dispassionately
weigh the evidence.
591
00:28:10,989 --> 00:28:13,902
Give the jurors some credit. They make
these kinds of distinctions all the time.
592
00:28:14,493 --> 00:28:16,530
Oh, I don't give them
that much credit.
593
00:28:18,297 --> 00:28:21,437
I'll allow the testimony to come
in with a limiting instruction.
594
00:28:25,304 --> 00:28:26,749
Here's what you can do
with your motive.
595
00:28:29,374 --> 00:28:30,546
Insanity defense?
596
00:28:31,009 --> 00:28:33,717
Not quite. Extreme
emotional disturbance.
597
00:28:33,779 --> 00:28:35,486
The painting made me do it.
598
00:28:39,785 --> 00:28:42,265
When did you first encounter
the defendant, Ms. Poster?
599
00:28:43,222 --> 00:28:44,860
At the opening party
for Mark Vee.
600
00:28:44,923 --> 00:28:47,995
He, uh, went from piece to piece
muttering and shaking his head.
601
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,939
He'd confront the guests and
challenge their opinion on the work.
602
00:28:52,497 --> 00:28:54,602
A number of arguments broke out,
and I had to ask him to leave.
603
00:28:55,667 --> 00:28:57,340
Did you ever see
Mr. Brunig after that?
604
00:28:58,170 --> 00:29:01,617
He came back to the gallery four
times during the Mark Vee show.
605
00:29:02,174 --> 00:29:03,517
And how did he behave?
606
00:29:03,575 --> 00:29:04,747
Nothing like the first time.
607
00:29:05,677 --> 00:29:08,556
He would just look at Perfect Woman
#3 for a while and then he'd leave.
608
00:29:09,715 --> 00:29:11,661
No muttering?
No.
609
00:29:12,184 --> 00:29:13,720
No confrontations?
610
00:29:13,785 --> 00:29:15,162
No. He didn't
open his mouth.
611
00:29:15,220 --> 00:29:18,224
Did he appear agitated or affected
by the painting in any way?
612
00:29:18,624 --> 00:29:19,625
Not in the least.
613
00:29:21,493 --> 00:29:22,494
Nothing further.
614
00:29:24,396 --> 00:29:25,932
Ms. Poster, did you ever
speak to Mr. Brunig
615
00:29:25,998 --> 00:29:27,944
during his subsequent
visits to the gallery?
616
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,045
No. Just that first time.
617
00:29:30,802 --> 00:29:32,839
So, unless you could
read his mind,
618
00:29:32,905 --> 00:29:34,907
you really didn't know whether
he was agitated or not.
619
00:29:35,374 --> 00:29:36,785
He didn't seem upset to me.
620
00:29:37,109 --> 00:29:39,919
The one time he did seem upset, you
had him removed from the gallery?
621
00:29:40,345 --> 00:29:41,380
Right.
622
00:29:41,613 --> 00:29:43,650
So it's quite possible that
he was hiding his emotions
623
00:29:43,715 --> 00:29:45,285
in order to avoid
getting thrown out?
624
00:29:45,350 --> 00:29:46,658
Objection.
JUDGE: Sustained.
625
00:29:46,718 --> 00:29:48,595
For all you know,
he was burning up inside.
626
00:29:48,654 --> 00:29:49,758
Sustained!
627
00:29:51,723 --> 00:29:52,758
Nothing further.
628
00:29:56,128 --> 00:29:59,405
OLSON: Who was your model for
Perfect Woman 3, Mr. Vee?
629
00:30:00,232 --> 00:30:01,506
There was no model.
630
00:30:01,900 --> 00:30:03,811
It's solely a product
of my imagination.
631
00:30:04,403 --> 00:30:06,713
You imagine women with
their body parts amputated?
632
00:30:07,072 --> 00:30:08,608
Yeah, I suppose I do.
633
00:30:08,974 --> 00:30:10,214
But it's just fantasy.
634
00:30:10,709 --> 00:30:12,814
A fantasy which you choose
to share with the public.
635
00:30:13,512 --> 00:30:15,822
I suppose that's one way
to define art.
636
00:30:16,982 --> 00:30:19,155
How do you intend people to
feel when they view this?
637
00:30:19,651 --> 00:30:23,292
I can't predict people's
emotional response to my art.
638
00:30:23,355 --> 00:30:26,700
What they feel about this painting
is based on their own experience.
639
00:30:27,426 --> 00:30:30,270
So disgust and outrage
would be valid responses?
640
00:30:30,963 --> 00:30:35,139
Sure, but I hope the viewer goes deeper
than a visceral reaction to the work.
641
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,270
What do you mean by that?
642
00:30:36,335 --> 00:30:39,612
Anybody can look at Perfect
Woman 3 and be offended.
643
00:30:40,806 --> 00:30:42,376
I want to challenge
their preconceptions.
644
00:30:44,676 --> 00:30:48,283
You're a provocateur, Mr. Vee,
aren't you?
645
00:30:49,414 --> 00:30:50,449
You might say that.
646
00:30:50,515 --> 00:30:52,552
You seek to arouse a reaction?
647
00:30:53,185 --> 00:30:56,428
The bigger the reaction, the better.
That's what the work is about.
648
00:30:59,558 --> 00:31:00,798
I have nothing further.
649
00:31:03,762 --> 00:31:07,141
Did you intend your work to
be taken literally, Mr. Vee?
650
00:31:08,133 --> 00:31:10,044
VEE: What do you mean
"literally"?
651
00:31:10,769 --> 00:31:14,182
Did you intend this painting
to promote hatred of women?
652
00:31:14,740 --> 00:31:18,119
I wouldn't expect any two people
to experience it the same way.
653
00:31:19,211 --> 00:31:21,020
You wanted to provoke
discussion?
654
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,281
Yes.
655
00:31:22,447 --> 00:31:24,017
JACK: Challenge people's
perceptions?
656
00:31:24,082 --> 00:31:25,152
VEE: Yes.
657
00:31:25,217 --> 00:31:28,892
Did you ever intend your work
to provoke violence?
658
00:31:29,321 --> 00:31:30,800
Provoke violence?
659
00:31:30,856 --> 00:31:35,532
No. But I can't deny this
painting has violent content.
660
00:31:36,862 --> 00:31:39,809
It doesn't surprise me that
some people can't handle it.
661
00:31:45,670 --> 00:31:47,445
Olson will depict his client as
662
00:31:47,506 --> 00:31:49,713
slipping into a dissociative
state prior to the murder.
663
00:31:50,509 --> 00:31:52,785
It sounds like you're describing
some form of psychosis.
664
00:31:53,545 --> 00:31:57,220
Brunig won't say his dog told him to
do it, just that he acted on impulse.
665
00:31:57,949 --> 00:31:59,553
Triggered by
viewing the painting.
666
00:31:59,618 --> 00:32:02,861
The testimony he went back to see it
several times supports that position.
667
00:32:03,388 --> 00:32:05,265
Nobody forced him
to go back there.
668
00:32:05,323 --> 00:32:07,269
The more you can show his
actions to be deliberate,
669
00:32:07,325 --> 00:32:10,431
the less likely they'll be
viewed as impulsive.
670
00:32:10,495 --> 00:32:12,133
Just take him through it
frame by frame.
671
00:32:12,931 --> 00:32:14,001
You foresee any potholes?
672
00:32:15,467 --> 00:32:18,073
Well, he might claim something in
his background made him vulnerable.
673
00:32:18,136 --> 00:32:19,615
He flopped as an artist.
674
00:32:19,671 --> 00:32:21,742
Or something more basic,
from his childhood.
675
00:32:22,541 --> 00:32:25,613
Maybe you'll figure it out from the gallery.
See you in the morning.
676
00:32:25,677 --> 00:32:26,781
DR. SKODA: Yeah.
677
00:32:28,447 --> 00:32:29,585
Thanks.
678
00:32:32,818 --> 00:32:34,923
I have to say, Jack, that
painting disturbs me, too.
679
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,858
There's being disturbed and there's
using it as an excuse to commit murder.
680
00:32:39,758 --> 00:32:41,499
It's no better than
pornography.
681
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,299
And what, pornography
causes violence?
682
00:32:44,896 --> 00:32:47,672
I'm not hardcore like some feminists,
but there's something to it.
683
00:32:47,866 --> 00:32:51,075
There's no proven correlation between
looking at smut and committing crimes.
684
00:32:52,571 --> 00:32:56,314
I don't care what the numbers say. It's more subtle.
It objectifies women.
685
00:32:57,075 --> 00:32:58,520
You want to police
what people think?
686
00:32:58,910 --> 00:33:02,915
The Supreme Court says expression can be
regulated based on community standards.
687
00:33:02,981 --> 00:33:05,894
Where I come form, they'd toss
that thing in the barbecue pit.
688
00:33:06,718 --> 00:33:09,221
That's your solution?
Burn it?
689
00:33:09,287 --> 00:33:12,427
I'm not advocating that,
but your jury might.
690
00:33:20,699 --> 00:33:22,440
The defense calls Larry Brunig.
691
00:33:25,804 --> 00:33:29,581
Uh, Your Honor, I see Dr. Skoda, the
People's psychiatrist, in the gallery.
692
00:33:30,208 --> 00:33:31,448
He's entitled to observe.
693
00:33:36,782 --> 00:33:38,159
I want him excluded
from the courtroom.
694
00:33:38,216 --> 00:33:39,217
JUDGE: On what grounds?
695
00:33:39,284 --> 00:33:41,560
The People are trying to end-run the statute.
He can't testify here.
696
00:33:42,053 --> 00:33:44,397
I'm entitled to his advice
before I cross.
697
00:33:45,190 --> 00:33:47,397
Are you stipulating that you're
not calling him on rebuttal?
698
00:33:47,759 --> 00:33:49,033
I haven't made that
decision yet.
699
00:33:49,094 --> 00:33:50,095
There you go, Judge.
700
00:33:50,495 --> 00:33:53,339
There's nothing that says I can't
call an expert in rebuttal.
701
00:33:53,565 --> 00:33:55,135
He's trying to
intimidate Mr. Brunig.
702
00:33:55,367 --> 00:33:58,507
How would your client be intimidated by
someone he doesn't know or recognize?
703
00:33:58,737 --> 00:33:59,772
This was a setup.
704
00:33:59,971 --> 00:34:01,450
But the bell has already rung.
705
00:34:01,706 --> 00:34:02,946
Then I'll find someone else.
706
00:34:03,008 --> 00:34:06,319
I'm not stopping this trial while
you go shopping for a shrink.
707
00:34:07,846 --> 00:34:09,450
You want Dr. Skoda
to testify?
708
00:34:10,048 --> 00:34:12,585
Give him the transcript
of the defendant's testimony.
709
00:34:13,085 --> 00:34:14,257
Now let's go.
710
00:34:22,527 --> 00:34:25,098
I first read about Mark Vee's
opening in a magazine.
711
00:34:27,165 --> 00:34:30,112
The paintings sounded so violent,
I wanted to see them for myself.
712
00:34:31,002 --> 00:34:33,107
Is that when you first came
into contact with Lucy Young?
713
00:34:34,105 --> 00:34:38,485
Yes. Heard the show would never have
gotten off the ground without her.
714
00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:40,216
Did you approach her?
715
00:34:40,278 --> 00:34:43,691
I wanted to talk to her about
the filth she was supporting.
716
00:34:45,083 --> 00:34:47,324
But they asked me to leave
before I had the chance.
717
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:49,227
Because you were disruptive?
718
00:34:49,888 --> 00:34:52,869
I just wanted to understand what
it was people liked about it.
719
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:56,703
One of them
called me a fascist.
720
00:34:57,963 --> 00:34:59,636
Why did you seek
Lucy Young out again?
721
00:35:01,299 --> 00:35:02,607
I never planned it.
722
00:35:04,169 --> 00:35:06,843
But I found out she backed
a lot of this filth.
723
00:35:07,405 --> 00:35:08,543
Like what?
724
00:35:08,607 --> 00:35:10,314
Defilements of the Virgin Mary,
725
00:35:10,842 --> 00:35:13,379
sculptures made
with animal feces...
726
00:35:13,445 --> 00:35:14,480
And this?
727
00:35:14,546 --> 00:35:16,287
See, that is not art.
728
00:35:16,348 --> 00:35:20,091
Art is about beauty and life.
729
00:35:21,453 --> 00:35:23,160
Like Renoir, or Degas.
730
00:35:23,221 --> 00:35:25,030
It made you angry, Larry?
Yes.
731
00:35:25,891 --> 00:35:29,703
So what did you do with all of this anger
that was building up inside of you?
732
00:35:29,761 --> 00:35:33,538
I got Lucy Young's address
off the Internet,
733
00:35:33,598 --> 00:35:35,202
so I decided to confront her.
734
00:35:35,533 --> 00:35:37,604
To harm her?
No.
735
00:35:37,669 --> 00:35:42,311
I just wanted to tell her
what a terrible thing it was
736
00:35:42,374 --> 00:35:43,876
to support this
737
00:35:44,609 --> 00:35:46,919
and what it would do to
the children who saw it.
738
00:35:48,180 --> 00:35:50,592
What happened when you got
to the building that night?
739
00:35:51,383 --> 00:35:52,862
She wasn't there at first,
740
00:35:54,319 --> 00:35:57,698
so I decided to wait across the street.
My mind was racing.
741
00:35:59,257 --> 00:36:02,795
Then when she finally
turned the corner,
742
00:36:03,795 --> 00:36:05,172
my heart started pounding.
743
00:36:05,230 --> 00:36:07,005
What did you do
when she arrived?
744
00:36:09,067 --> 00:36:12,105
I came up to her at the door.
I told her I wanted to talk.
745
00:36:13,872 --> 00:36:17,615
She said to leave her alone
or she'd scream.
746
00:36:19,210 --> 00:36:21,121
Then she pulled out
a can of mace.
747
00:36:22,213 --> 00:36:24,215
And you forced her inside
with a gun?
748
00:36:24,282 --> 00:36:25,556
Yes.
749
00:36:25,617 --> 00:36:27,153
And you hit her over the head?
750
00:36:27,218 --> 00:36:28,492
Yes.
751
00:36:29,855 --> 00:36:31,801
She wouldn't listen to me.
752
00:36:32,591 --> 00:36:34,127
And then, Larry?
753
00:36:34,192 --> 00:36:35,330
She was lying there...
754
00:36:37,762 --> 00:36:40,368
All I could think
about was that.
755
00:36:41,266 --> 00:36:43,246
I couldn't get this picture
out of my head,
756
00:36:44,302 --> 00:36:47,340
and the things that it made
me think about were horrible.
757
00:36:51,209 --> 00:36:52,620
What it made me do.
758
00:36:53,578 --> 00:36:55,353
What did you do, Larry?
759
00:36:58,516 --> 00:37:00,359
I went to the kitchen
760
00:37:02,053 --> 00:37:04,363
and I got a knife
and some tape...
761
00:37:06,791 --> 00:37:09,567
I can't say it. Please,
just don't make me say it.
762
00:37:09,628 --> 00:37:10,902
Nothing further.
763
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:17,607
Before you went to
confront Lucy Young,
764
00:37:17,669 --> 00:37:19,740
you made sure to bring
your gun along with you?
765
00:37:20,605 --> 00:37:21,811
BRUNIG: Yes.
766
00:37:22,507 --> 00:37:24,487
You planned to
harm her, Mr. Brunig.
767
00:37:24,542 --> 00:37:27,250
No! I just wanted to
make her listen.
768
00:37:27,312 --> 00:37:29,883
And then you laid in wait for
her for an hour and a half.
769
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:33,028
I don't remember
exactly how long it was.
770
00:37:33,084 --> 00:37:35,724
Well, do you remember cleaning
your fingerprints off,
771
00:37:35,787 --> 00:37:37,630
disposing of
your bloody clothes?
772
00:37:38,056 --> 00:37:40,263
After I realized what
I'd done, I got scared.
773
00:37:41,192 --> 00:37:45,368
Hardly the actions of a man
acting on emotion, Mr. Brunig.
774
00:37:45,430 --> 00:37:46,773
Objection. Argumentative.
775
00:37:46,831 --> 00:37:47,901
Sustained.
776
00:37:49,534 --> 00:37:52,447
At one point in your life, you
were a professional artist.
777
00:37:54,172 --> 00:37:56,482
My mother taught me how to
paint when I was a boy.
778
00:37:57,776 --> 00:37:59,687
She was
a gifted artist herself.
779
00:37:59,744 --> 00:38:02,224
And then one day,
you just gave up.
780
00:38:03,048 --> 00:38:04,925
My paintings weren't selling.
781
00:38:05,250 --> 00:38:08,891
And people like Lucy Young
wouldn't help you.
782
00:38:08,953 --> 00:38:10,523
That's right.
783
00:38:10,588 --> 00:38:15,059
But Mark Vee was featured
at a major gallery.
784
00:38:15,126 --> 00:38:17,902
People were lining up to
see his work.
785
00:38:17,962 --> 00:38:21,375
They think they're smarter than you
because they worship this crap.
786
00:38:23,735 --> 00:38:27,547
That's all it is, and you know it.
Everybody here knows it.
787
00:38:29,107 --> 00:38:31,747
You were a failure,
Mr. Brunig.
788
00:38:31,810 --> 00:38:33,289
That has nothing
to do with this.
789
00:38:33,344 --> 00:38:35,119
You were jealous and bitter.
790
00:38:35,180 --> 00:38:36,181
No.
791
00:38:36,247 --> 00:38:38,955
And that's why you kept
going back there, isn't it?
792
00:38:39,017 --> 00:38:40,826
To wallow in your own misery!
793
00:38:40,885 --> 00:38:42,228
This did something to me.
794
00:38:42,287 --> 00:38:44,858
Then why didn't you confront the
artist instead of Lucy Young?
795
00:38:44,923 --> 00:38:48,871
Without her money, people wouldn't even
be able to see these sick paintings.
796
00:38:49,294 --> 00:38:52,935
So, to protest,
797
00:38:54,566 --> 00:38:57,012
you cut off a woman's hands.
798
00:38:58,703 --> 00:39:01,047
Can you explain that
to me, Mr. Brunig?
799
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:04,743
Lucy Young did this to me.
800
00:39:07,212 --> 00:39:09,089
She made me feel this.
801
00:39:10,882 --> 00:39:13,453
She put this painting
in a gallery.
802
00:39:15,987 --> 00:39:17,523
I had to make it stop.
803
00:39:24,362 --> 00:39:27,036
Look, Jack, everything he
describes about that night,
804
00:39:27,098 --> 00:39:29,544
the way his rage spiked,
the way he killed her,
805
00:39:29,601 --> 00:39:31,581
it suggests a loss
of self-control.
806
00:39:31,636 --> 00:39:33,206
And the gun he brought along?
807
00:39:33,271 --> 00:39:34,875
Ultimately,
he didn't shoot her.
808
00:39:35,874 --> 00:39:38,582
If I could talk to Brunig alone,
I'd have some better insight.
809
00:39:38,643 --> 00:39:40,350
Well, you can't.
The law doesn't allow it.
810
00:39:40,912 --> 00:39:44,724
Based on this cold record, nothing
I could say would help you.
811
00:39:45,150 --> 00:39:46,254
Thanks.
812
00:39:50,188 --> 00:39:51,394
ADAM: Now what?
813
00:39:51,456 --> 00:39:52,628
We go to a verdict.
814
00:39:52,690 --> 00:39:54,260
Get a second opinion.
815
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,830
If I put a hired gun up there,
Olson'll call Skoda in rebuttal.
816
00:39:58,897 --> 00:39:59,898
Then offer murder two.
817
00:39:59,964 --> 00:40:01,466
I don't accept their argument.
818
00:40:01,533 --> 00:40:02,910
It's better than
manslaughter, Jack.
819
00:40:02,967 --> 00:40:06,244
We compromise now, we're
admitting art incites violence.
820
00:40:06,304 --> 00:40:08,409
This is not about
freedom of expression.
821
00:40:08,473 --> 00:40:10,453
Isn't it? If we buy
into this defense,
822
00:40:10,508 --> 00:40:12,351
how far behind do you think
the censors will be?
823
00:40:13,044 --> 00:40:14,250
Here we go.
824
00:40:14,312 --> 00:40:17,191
You want the government sniffing
around the museums, Adam?
825
00:40:17,982 --> 00:40:20,622
Can't you see the little
picture for a change?
826
00:40:21,019 --> 00:40:22,896
What do we do when the next
defendant comes around
827
00:40:22,954 --> 00:40:24,797
and says that a book
made him angry? Or a movie?
828
00:40:24,856 --> 00:40:27,666
That's exactly what's gonna
happen if Brunig wins.
829
00:40:28,927 --> 00:40:30,702
If the jury buys it,
there's nothing I can do
830
00:40:30,762 --> 00:40:32,537
but I won't pave the way.
831
00:40:33,565 --> 00:40:35,476
A painting's not
an excuse for murder.
832
00:40:41,873 --> 00:40:45,116
Larry Brunig was
a profoundly troubled man,
833
00:40:46,111 --> 00:40:50,218
isolated, tortured by
his career disappointment,
834
00:40:50,281 --> 00:40:53,592
all of that repressed creativity
burning a hole inside of him.
835
00:40:55,220 --> 00:40:58,690
And then Larry saw this,
836
00:40:59,891 --> 00:41:03,862
and it brought to the surface all of
that anger and all of that emotion.
837
00:41:05,530 --> 00:41:09,273
He became obsessed with it.
It enraged him.
838
00:41:09,701 --> 00:41:14,207
Now this painting, it may not enrage
you and me like it enraged Larry,
839
00:41:14,672 --> 00:41:17,152
but under the law,
you must step into his shoes
840
00:41:17,208 --> 00:41:18,778
and decide whether
he was emotionally overcome
841
00:41:18,843 --> 00:41:21,517
the night he committed
this horrible crime.
842
00:41:23,681 --> 00:41:26,628
Now, please take a good,
hard look at this.
843
00:41:28,286 --> 00:41:30,823
I want you to think about
what it did to Larry.
844
00:41:31,156 --> 00:41:32,794
It poisoned him.
845
00:41:32,857 --> 00:41:35,895
And in his mind,
Lucy Young was the one
846
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,634
that inflicted
this poison on him.
847
00:41:38,696 --> 00:41:41,506
Larry's mental distress
was real.
848
00:41:42,467 --> 00:41:44,572
And for one regrettable moment,
849
00:41:47,372 --> 00:41:48,646
he lost control.
850
00:41:51,709 --> 00:41:53,484
Because of this.
851
00:42:08,026 --> 00:42:09,733
I don't care for this painting.
852
00:42:10,995 --> 00:42:15,171
It's offensive to me, and I'm not going
to stand here and tell you otherwise.
853
00:42:17,435 --> 00:42:22,214
But it doesn't give Larry Brunig
an excuse for killing Lucy Young.
854
00:42:22,974 --> 00:42:27,150
Mr. Brunig wants to use his
obsession as a permission slip
855
00:42:27,212 --> 00:42:28,452
to commit murder.
856
00:42:33,551 --> 00:42:36,589
If you go down that road,
where does it end?
857
00:42:37,522 --> 00:42:40,332
Any person who's hypersensitive
858
00:42:40,391 --> 00:42:42,928
has a defense against
a charge of murder.
859
00:42:42,994 --> 00:42:48,034
Any bigot can plead extreme
emotional disturbance.
860
00:42:48,099 --> 00:42:53,549
Whether you like it or not, Mark Vee
had every right to create this.
861
00:42:53,605 --> 00:42:56,313
Lucy Young had
every right to support it.
862
00:42:57,241 --> 00:43:02,213
And Larry Brunig had
every right to hate it.
863
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,853
If he wanted to, he could
stand on a street corner
864
00:43:05,917 --> 00:43:09,364
and rail against it to
anyone who passed by.
865
00:43:09,420 --> 00:43:15,928
But he had no right to kill Lucy
Young to express his opinion.
866
00:43:17,428 --> 00:43:22,138
He found Mark Vee's painting
insulting to women.
867
00:43:23,668 --> 00:43:27,548
But he's the one who
clubbed a woman's head
868
00:43:28,072 --> 00:43:31,542
and chopped her up
in her living room.
869
00:43:31,609 --> 00:43:34,783
Larry Brunig planned
this crime in advance
870
00:43:34,846 --> 00:43:37,952
and carried it out
with brutal efficiency.
871
00:43:38,016 --> 00:43:42,590
His claim that he just wanted to
confront Lucy Young about her patronage
872
00:43:42,653 --> 00:43:45,327
is belied by the fact that,
on the night in question,
873
00:43:45,390 --> 00:43:47,199
he packed a gun.
874
00:43:50,295 --> 00:43:53,970
On some level his anger
may be understandable,
875
00:43:57,502 --> 00:44:00,711
but don't let him use it
to get away with murder.
876
00:44:10,448 --> 00:44:12,394
Has the jury reached a verdict?
877
00:44:12,450 --> 00:44:14,020
FOREPERSON:
We have, Your Honor.
878
00:44:14,085 --> 00:44:15,655
Will the defendant please rise?
879
00:44:18,356 --> 00:44:19,858
On the sole count
of the indictment,
880
00:44:19,924 --> 00:44:22,871
murder in the first degree,
how do you find?
881
00:44:22,927 --> 00:44:25,840
We find the defendant guilty.
882
00:44:39,977 --> 00:44:42,719
I hear the First Amendment's
alive and well.
883
00:44:42,780 --> 00:44:45,784
For now. It'll keep
taking potshots.
884
00:44:45,850 --> 00:44:48,091
And the Larry Brunigs
of the world won't help.
885
00:44:49,053 --> 00:44:51,226
Maybe if he hadn't
stopped painting.
886
00:44:51,276 --> 00:44:55,826
