1
00:00:01,835 --> 00:00:03,576
NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:03,637 --> 00:00:07,517
the people are represented
by two separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:07,574 --> 00:00:09,417
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:09,476 --> 00:00:12,218
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:14,088
These are their stories.
6
00:00:15,749 --> 00:00:18,787
This is definitely
the right quadrant. I think.
7
00:00:18,852 --> 00:00:20,729
No, wait.
8
00:00:21,355 --> 00:00:24,632
I thought you said
your dad's car was black.
9
00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:27,437
That was black.
10
00:00:27,961 --> 00:00:29,497
That was green.
11
00:00:30,864 --> 00:00:32,468
Hey, is yours
kicking in yet?
12
00:00:32,533 --> 00:00:35,036
Oh, everything's
very bright right now.
13
00:00:35,102 --> 00:00:37,104
Very...crisp.
14
00:00:39,206 --> 00:00:41,447
Dude, this one is blue.
15
00:00:42,376 --> 00:00:43,616
No, it's not.
16
00:00:43,677 --> 00:00:47,591
Yeah, it is.
Very, very dark blue.
17
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:51,593
Whoa!
18
00:00:54,354 --> 00:00:57,233
Talk about
a total buzzkill.
19
00:00:58,458 --> 00:00:59,596
BRISCOE: How long's
he been here?
20
00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:02,641
M.E. says based on
lividity and body temp, three or four hours.
21
00:01:02,696 --> 00:01:04,266
Caught one in the head
and one in the chest.
22
00:01:04,331 --> 00:01:06,937
I guess the head shot
was the finishing touch.
23
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,070
What's in the wallet?
24
00:01:08,135 --> 00:01:10,240
Money's still here.
25
00:01:10,304 --> 00:01:12,944
Hello. This guy's got
a driver's license for every day of the week.
26
00:01:13,006 --> 00:01:16,283
"K.C. Sahl,
Gordon Sanders, Daryl Jefferson."
27
00:01:16,343 --> 00:01:17,413
Matching credit cards.
28
00:01:17,477 --> 00:01:19,423
What do you know, a pro.
29
00:01:19,479 --> 00:01:21,618
Well, with any luck
we'll get a quick hit off the prints
30
00:01:21,682 --> 00:01:24,288
and find out which
alias is his real name.
31
00:01:24,351 --> 00:01:26,456
I want you to get
a hold of the manager.
32
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,797
We want the records
of every monthly, yearly, the works.
33
00:01:29,856 --> 00:01:31,199
And then run down
the registrations
34
00:01:31,258 --> 00:01:33,499
of any car that's
not accounted for.
35
00:01:34,895 --> 00:01:36,397
That's disturbing.
36
00:01:36,463 --> 00:01:38,033
I don't know.
We've seen worse.
37
00:01:38,098 --> 00:01:42,012
No, that. $378
plus tax a month?
38
00:01:43,070 --> 00:01:46,051
Like I always say,
parking in this city'll kill you.
39
00:02:36,023 --> 00:02:37,866
BRISCOE:
His real name's Ronald Buck.
40
00:02:37,924 --> 00:02:39,494
He did a deuce
at Sing Sing.
41
00:02:39,559 --> 00:02:40,731
Got paroled
six months ago.
42
00:02:40,794 --> 00:02:42,000
What's his sheet like?
43
00:02:42,062 --> 00:02:43,336
Couple of
drug possessions,
44
00:02:43,397 --> 00:02:45,638
burglary, assault,
tampering.
45
00:02:45,699 --> 00:02:48,441
His last stint
was for breaking into an ATM on Halloween.
46
00:02:48,502 --> 00:02:51,278
Disguised as an
upstanding citizen, no doubt.
47
00:02:51,338 --> 00:02:52,908
Anyone on duty
at the parking lot?
48
00:02:52,973 --> 00:02:55,010
It's self-serve
after 8:00. No witnesses.
49
00:02:55,075 --> 00:02:56,713
And none of the cars
on the lot were his.
50
00:02:56,777 --> 00:02:58,415
So, we know what
he was doing there?
51
00:02:58,478 --> 00:03:00,617
Might've been trying
to boost a ride and got caught.
52
00:03:00,681 --> 00:03:02,285
All right, talk to
his parole officer.
53
00:03:02,349 --> 00:03:05,353
Let's find out what
Mr. Buck's been up to since he got out.
54
00:03:06,019 --> 00:03:09,296
Well, to be honest with you,
Buck only showed up once since his release.
55
00:03:09,356 --> 00:03:11,131
I don't exactly know
where he is right now.
56
00:03:11,191 --> 00:03:12,397
He's an absconder?
57
00:03:12,459 --> 00:03:14,370
We didn't see
anything about a warrant in his file.
58
00:03:14,428 --> 00:03:15,463
I didn't write him up.
59
00:03:15,529 --> 00:03:17,600
Well, maybe
we should write you up.
60
00:03:17,664 --> 00:03:18,802
(SIGHING)
61
00:03:18,865 --> 00:03:20,401
Look, he told me
he was going to stay at his sister's
62
00:03:20,467 --> 00:03:21,571
till he got on his feet.
63
00:03:21,635 --> 00:03:23,080
Well, did you get her
name and address,
64
00:03:23,136 --> 00:03:25,275
or was that too much
trouble for you?
65
00:03:26,606 --> 00:03:29,883
Angela McDowell.
Lives in Queens.
66
00:03:31,244 --> 00:03:33,155
Ronnie moved out
three months ago.
67
00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:34,715
Any idea where?
68
00:03:34,781 --> 00:03:35,987
(CRYING)
69
00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:38,290
I haven't heard from
him since he left.
70
00:03:39,152 --> 00:03:41,758
Ange, what's going on?
71
00:03:42,689 --> 00:03:44,635
(CRYING)
Ronnie's dead.
72
00:03:44,691 --> 00:03:45,897
Figures.
73
00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:47,632
Don't be like that.
74
00:03:47,694 --> 00:03:50,038
Uh, this is
my husband, Tom.
75
00:03:50,097 --> 00:03:52,407
You guys cops?
Homicide detectives.
76
00:03:52,466 --> 00:03:55,106
Homicide, huh?
So what happened?
77
00:03:55,168 --> 00:03:56,977
Your brother-in-law
was found shot
78
00:03:57,037 --> 00:03:59,347
in a parking lot off
the West Side Highway.
79
00:03:59,406 --> 00:04:01,511
So, what did he do,
mouth off to the wrong guy?
80
00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:03,577
Did he have a habit
of doing that?
81
00:04:03,643 --> 00:04:04,986
Ronnie had an
attitude problem.
82
00:04:05,045 --> 00:04:07,082
Just 'cause you never
got along with him.
83
00:04:07,147 --> 00:04:08,421
Nobody got along
with your brother.
84
00:04:08,482 --> 00:04:11,156
We just need to know
the last time either of you saw him.
85
00:04:11,218 --> 00:04:13,494
That'd be when I kicked him
the hell out of my house,
86
00:04:13,553 --> 00:04:14,930
after I got him the job.
87
00:04:14,988 --> 00:04:16,331
The job? Where?
88
00:04:16,389 --> 00:04:19,063
Workers' Warehouse
in the city, over on Lafayette.
89
00:04:19,126 --> 00:04:20,400
Where's my brother now?
90
00:04:20,460 --> 00:04:21,768
ED: City morgue.
91
00:04:21,828 --> 00:04:23,364
Is there, like, a number
or something?
92
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:25,307
I want to claim
his body.
93
00:04:25,365 --> 00:04:27,242
I gotta pay for
the funeral, too.
94
00:04:28,802 --> 00:04:30,748
Ronnie only showed up
for work two days,
95
00:04:30,804 --> 00:04:32,147
and they weren't
consecutive.
96
00:04:32,205 --> 00:04:33,650
Did he quit or
did you fire him?
97
00:04:33,707 --> 00:04:35,482
(LAUGHS) I wouldn't
have fired that guy.
98
00:04:35,542 --> 00:04:37,112
Why is that?
99
00:04:37,177 --> 00:04:38,451
First day on the job,
100
00:04:38,512 --> 00:04:41,755
this, uh, big dude
comes around asking for Ronnie, right?
101
00:04:41,815 --> 00:04:45,092
Two of them have words,
somebody throws a punch it gets ugly fast.
102
00:04:45,152 --> 00:04:46,358
Anybody get hurt?
103
00:04:46,419 --> 00:04:47,625
The big guy.
104
00:04:47,687 --> 00:04:49,325
You know what
the fight was about?
105
00:04:49,389 --> 00:04:51,528
I gathered Ronnie
owed this guy's boss.
106
00:04:51,591 --> 00:04:52,797
He say what for?
107
00:04:52,859 --> 00:04:54,998
They didn't get
into details before they started dancing.
108
00:04:55,562 --> 00:04:58,839
Maybe Ronnie fell behind
on his vig to some shylock.
109
00:04:58,899 --> 00:05:00,936
You wouldn't happen
to get this big guy's name, did you?
110
00:05:01,001 --> 00:05:02,378
Nah. But I heard
him tell Ronnie
111
00:05:02,435 --> 00:05:04,745
he ain't welcome at
Donohue's no more.
112
00:05:04,805 --> 00:05:06,807
Donohue's on
10th Avenue?
113
00:05:07,941 --> 00:05:10,478
Not loan sharks,
bookies.
114
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,350
Some big-time
bookmaking up in here. You can smell it.
115
00:05:14,414 --> 00:05:17,156
All I smell is beer
and its by-products.
116
00:05:17,217 --> 00:05:18,719
Excuse me.
117
00:05:19,553 --> 00:05:20,657
Get you something?
118
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,461
Yeah, man, I'm looking
for some action.
119
00:05:22,522 --> 00:05:24,695
This guy told me
you could hook me up.
120
00:05:25,125 --> 00:05:27,036
I don't place the face.
121
00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:31,571
Rack your memory.
122
00:05:32,999 --> 00:05:34,740
Ronnie Buck. So?
123
00:05:34,801 --> 00:05:36,508
You tell me.
124
00:05:36,570 --> 00:05:38,243
He likes to place
the odd bet.
125
00:05:38,305 --> 00:05:40,512
Hoops and ponies.
Strictly recreational.
126
00:05:41,174 --> 00:05:42,949
Hey, that goes
without saying.
127
00:05:43,009 --> 00:05:44,249
Who runs his book?
128
00:05:44,311 --> 00:05:46,416
You know I can't
tell you that. Hey, you don't have to.
129
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:47,890
I'll just go
get a warrant and a squad.
130
00:05:47,948 --> 00:05:49,894
We'll come back here
and we'll turn this place upside down.
131
00:05:49,950 --> 00:05:51,486
Who know
what we'll find.
132
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:00,336
Here's the guy
you're looking for.
133
00:06:00,393 --> 00:06:01,963
I don't know nothing
about Ronnie.
134
00:06:02,028 --> 00:06:03,371
I ain't seen him lately.
135
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:05,637
He probably took his
business elsewhere.
136
00:06:08,301 --> 00:06:09,678
FREDDY: I never heard
of Ronnie Buck.
137
00:06:09,736 --> 00:06:12,376
Workers' Warehouse
ring a bell? Never heard of it.
138
00:06:12,439 --> 00:06:14,077
Witness says that
you were there
139
00:06:14,140 --> 00:06:16,450
to pick up some money
that Ronnie owed you, and a fight broke out.
140
00:06:16,509 --> 00:06:17,954
We heard he
cleaned your clock.
141
00:06:18,011 --> 00:06:19,012
Never happened.
142
00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:20,387
Just like the gun
we found in your jacket.
143
00:06:20,447 --> 00:06:21,755
That never happened
either, right?
144
00:06:21,815 --> 00:06:23,658
(SIGHING)
In my jacket?
145
00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:26,425
It's The Sopranos.
Makes 'em think they can get away with anything.
146
00:06:26,486 --> 00:06:28,159
You're looking
at a nickel on the gun, Freddy,
147
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:29,859
so why don't you
do yourself some good here?
148
00:06:29,923 --> 00:06:31,766
Help yourself out.
149
00:06:31,825 --> 00:06:33,736
My beef with Ronnie,
150
00:06:33,793 --> 00:06:36,103
water under the bridge, okay?
151
00:06:36,162 --> 00:06:38,938
Guy settled up.
Paid eight grand cash on the barrelhead.
152
00:06:38,999 --> 00:06:40,342
Ask anybody.
153
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,607
BRISCOE: I don't suppose
you got a receipt.
154
00:06:42,669 --> 00:06:44,740
I didn't whack
the guy, all right. He was a steady customer.
155
00:06:44,804 --> 00:06:47,011
We just had
to keep him in line from time to time.
156
00:06:47,073 --> 00:06:48,643
ED: You got an alibi
for last night?
157
00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:50,483
Yeah. Pen?lope Cruz.
158
00:06:51,444 --> 00:06:52,650
Pen?lope Cruz?
159
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:55,984
Yeah, I was home sleeping.
She was in my dreams.
160
00:06:57,751 --> 00:06:59,628
(SIGHING)
Hold that thought.
161
00:07:02,455 --> 00:07:03,934
Ballistics just
came back.
162
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:06,596
The gun that killed Buck
was a .22 Smith & Wesson.
163
00:07:06,660 --> 00:07:09,334
Well, that clears
the weapon we found on Freddy here.
164
00:07:09,396 --> 00:07:11,307
Well, I'm sure he has
plenty of others.
165
00:07:11,364 --> 00:07:12,604
What's his alibi?
166
00:07:12,666 --> 00:07:13,838
Home sleeping.
167
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:15,538
You find anything
else on him?
168
00:07:15,602 --> 00:07:17,513
Just some cash,
betting slips,
169
00:07:17,571 --> 00:07:19,448
and a couple
of OTB stubs.
170
00:07:19,506 --> 00:07:21,008
We still like him or not?
171
00:07:21,074 --> 00:07:23,782
Well, he claims
that Ronnie and he were square.
172
00:07:23,843 --> 00:07:26,756
But Ronnie did
beat him up pretty good, in public.
173
00:07:26,813 --> 00:07:28,053
Well, hold him on
the gun charge.
174
00:07:28,114 --> 00:07:29,616
And check with OCCB.
175
00:07:29,683 --> 00:07:32,459
See what else
they can give us on our friend Freddy.
176
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:37,227
Freddy Gallo.
Runs book in Hell's Kitchen for Johnny Robisi.
177
00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:39,634
I thought the Robisis
were Jersey-based.
178
00:07:39,693 --> 00:07:41,331
Been encroaching
on Manhattan
179
00:07:41,394 --> 00:07:43,203
ever since Frank Polito
went to jail.
180
00:07:43,263 --> 00:07:45,743
Frankie Threads?
Isn't he doing 30 years?
181
00:07:45,799 --> 00:07:50,145
Yeah. But that doesn't
keep him from resenting Robisi's bad manners.
182
00:07:50,203 --> 00:07:51,307
About six months ago
183
00:07:51,371 --> 00:07:55,581
Polito put out the word
to start downsizing Robisi's client?le.
184
00:07:55,642 --> 00:07:58,179
Literally killing off
the competition.
185
00:07:58,244 --> 00:07:59,416
Great business plan.
186
00:07:59,479 --> 00:08:00,514
It's working.
187
00:08:00,580 --> 00:08:02,355
Four hits this year already.
188
00:08:02,415 --> 00:08:04,452
Robisi's feeling the heat.
189
00:08:04,517 --> 00:08:08,465
Word's getting around.
His customers are going elsewhere.
190
00:08:08,521 --> 00:08:09,591
I would.
191
00:08:09,656 --> 00:08:11,397
So, if Ronnie was
a Robisi customer...
192
00:08:11,458 --> 00:08:13,699
Maybe Polito had
his ticket punched.
193
00:08:17,263 --> 00:08:19,800
POLITO: Come on,
there's no way I'm good for this.
194
00:08:19,866 --> 00:08:22,210
We know about
your turf war with the Robisis.
195
00:08:22,268 --> 00:08:24,145
About the hits
on their client?le.
196
00:08:24,204 --> 00:08:26,343
Maybe Ronnie Buck
was next on the list.
197
00:08:26,406 --> 00:08:28,943
Ronnie Buck
was a bug not worth my time.
198
00:08:29,009 --> 00:08:31,421
And besides,
the Feds monitor all my calls,
199
00:08:31,478 --> 00:08:34,391
read my e-mail and
videotape my visitors.
200
00:08:34,447 --> 00:08:35,755
You're breaking
our heart, Frankie.
201
00:08:35,815 --> 00:08:37,453
The family's under new
management, all right.
202
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:39,121
I ain't calling
the shots no more.
203
00:08:39,185 --> 00:08:42,257
Thirty-year stretch,
I can't blame 'em.
204
00:08:42,322 --> 00:08:44,666
Let me run this
by you though.
205
00:08:45,358 --> 00:08:47,565
My grandson just
started eighth grade.
206
00:08:47,627 --> 00:08:49,607
He's having a tough
time, you know.
207
00:08:49,663 --> 00:08:51,734
Puberty,
it's a delicate age.
208
00:08:51,798 --> 00:08:54,506
These FBI humps
following him and his mother around,
209
00:08:54,567 --> 00:08:55,739
taking pictures.
210
00:08:55,802 --> 00:08:57,748
So he's got my last name,
he's gotta suffer?
211
00:08:57,804 --> 00:08:59,010
ED: What's your point?
212
00:08:59,072 --> 00:09:01,552
I help you out
on this thing, you talk to the FBI.
213
00:09:01,608 --> 00:09:02,882
Get 'em to back off.
214
00:09:02,942 --> 00:09:04,888
I thought you
didn't know who was behind this.
215
00:09:04,944 --> 00:09:07,117
I know my share
of contract men in the city,
216
00:09:07,180 --> 00:09:09,251
how they work and
what they leave behind.
217
00:09:09,315 --> 00:09:11,295
Maybe I catch something
you missed.
218
00:09:17,424 --> 00:09:21,338
Mmm. Used to take
that stench for granted, you know.
219
00:09:21,394 --> 00:09:23,101
The deal was for
10 minutes, Frank.
220
00:09:23,163 --> 00:09:24,471
Save the nostalgia.
221
00:09:24,531 --> 00:09:26,010
We found him over here.
222
00:09:26,066 --> 00:09:27,636
The shooter put
one in his chest...
223
00:09:27,700 --> 00:09:29,509
This is where
it went down?
224
00:09:29,569 --> 00:09:31,571
Yeah.
What's the problem?
225
00:09:31,638 --> 00:09:33,276
Where's the escape route?
226
00:09:33,339 --> 00:09:35,580
What're you gonna do,
jump in the river?
227
00:09:35,642 --> 00:09:36,848
You've done this
before, huh?
228
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:38,116
What else?
229
00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:43,022
Not for nothing,
but if it was me,
230
00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:46,587
first thing I'd look for
is a more contained area.
231
00:09:50,490 --> 00:09:53,164
There.
That's your kill zone.
232
00:09:54,961 --> 00:09:57,032
See, this way
they gotta come at you to get away.
233
00:09:57,097 --> 00:09:59,668
At that point,
it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
234
00:09:59,732 --> 00:10:00,870
Neatness counts, huh?
235
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:03,005
Also, if your bullet
goes through his head,
236
00:10:03,069 --> 00:10:05,242
it's gonna hit a wall,
flatten out like a pancake.
237
00:10:05,305 --> 00:10:06,579
Hard to ID.
238
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:08,585
So, your professional
opinion is what?
239
00:10:08,641 --> 00:10:10,279
I can't help you out
with a name, fellas.
240
00:10:10,343 --> 00:10:12,619
Nobody I know
would ever crack an egg here.
241
00:10:17,517 --> 00:10:19,997
Take a Federal prisoner
out for a picnic again,
242
00:10:20,053 --> 00:10:23,057
and the two of you
will be doing desk duty until you retire.
243
00:10:23,123 --> 00:10:25,729
Hey, the D.A.'s get expert
witnesses all the time.
244
00:10:25,792 --> 00:10:27,100
Then go to law school.
245
00:10:28,094 --> 00:10:29,505
In any event,
246
00:10:29,562 --> 00:10:31,542
Buck's murder
doesn't look like family business.
247
00:10:31,598 --> 00:10:34,442
Well, if it's
not mob-related, what else can it be?
248
00:10:34,501 --> 00:10:35,980
ED: Well, everything
we know about this dude
249
00:10:36,035 --> 00:10:37,742
indicates he was a tough guy.
250
00:10:37,804 --> 00:10:39,442
It's most likely
not mugging.
251
00:10:39,506 --> 00:10:40,917
There's no sign
of a struggle.
252
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:43,011
The shots were up
close and personal.
253
00:10:43,076 --> 00:10:44,350
He probably
knew his assailant
254
00:10:44,410 --> 00:10:46,481
and was trying to talk
his way out of a situation.
255
00:10:46,546 --> 00:10:48,389
VAN BUREN: What kind of
a home life does he have?
256
00:10:48,448 --> 00:10:50,359
Not much.
His mother's deceased.
257
00:10:50,416 --> 00:10:51,986
His father's MIA
since before he was born.
258
00:10:52,051 --> 00:10:53,997
It's just the sister
and the brother-in-law.
259
00:10:54,053 --> 00:10:55,396
Gotta start somewhere.
260
00:10:56,823 --> 00:10:58,769
We barely saw each other
the last few years.
261
00:10:58,825 --> 00:10:59,860
Every time
I turned around
262
00:10:59,926 --> 00:11:01,200
he was back in jail
for something.
263
00:11:01,261 --> 00:11:03,036
Did you ever visit
him in prison?
264
00:11:03,096 --> 00:11:06,236
Not too often.
I couldn't stand to see him like that.
265
00:11:06,299 --> 00:11:08,802
Yeah, prison's depressing,
no doubt about it.
266
00:11:08,868 --> 00:11:11,212
What about friends,
acquaintances?
267
00:11:11,271 --> 00:11:12,682
Ronnie was
kind of a loner.
268
00:11:13,239 --> 00:11:16,049
What about prison buddies?
He ever mention any names?
269
00:11:16,643 --> 00:11:17,883
Not really.
270
00:11:18,845 --> 00:11:20,950
Unless you count
the guy who stabbed him.
271
00:11:26,152 --> 00:11:27,631
PRISON GUARD:
If he was stabbed, it should be in there.
272
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:30,566
Here it is. Estavo Cruz.
He still here?
273
00:11:30,623 --> 00:11:33,536
Cruz? Yeah. He'll be here
till the next millennium.
274
00:11:33,593 --> 00:11:34,867
He could have
friends on the outside.
275
00:11:34,928 --> 00:11:37,374
Maybe Cruz reached out
to finish what he started with Ronnie.
276
00:11:37,430 --> 00:11:39,171
What was the
fight about?
277
00:11:39,232 --> 00:11:41,303
Contraband.
Doesn't say what.
278
00:11:41,367 --> 00:11:43,347
If it was drugs,
it'd be in the report.
279
00:11:43,403 --> 00:11:45,542
Most likely it was
cigarettes or food.
280
00:11:45,605 --> 00:11:47,050
Something else
Buck wouldn't share.
281
00:11:47,106 --> 00:11:48,676
Care package
from home.
282
00:11:48,741 --> 00:11:51,745
Yeah, or maybe
a visitor slipped him a few extra smokes.
283
00:11:52,412 --> 00:11:55,586
Well, from what we hear,
he wasn't likely to have too many visitors.
284
00:11:56,249 --> 00:11:58,525
Well, that's easy
enough to find out.
285
00:11:58,585 --> 00:12:00,929
By number.
Ending 2-8-0.
286
00:12:00,987 --> 00:12:02,125
Hmm.
287
00:12:02,188 --> 00:12:03,690
Nothing for months.
288
00:12:03,756 --> 00:12:05,736
Must've been
something he said, huh?
289
00:12:05,792 --> 00:12:07,032
Wait, here we go.
290
00:12:07,093 --> 00:12:10,040
Sudden burst of popularity,
first week of March.
291
00:12:10,897 --> 00:12:13,571
Hey! We need
to talk to you.
292
00:12:15,201 --> 00:12:16,407
What about?
293
00:12:18,338 --> 00:12:20,818
What's this?
Sign-in sheet from Sing Sing.
294
00:12:20,873 --> 00:12:22,079
You met with your
brother-in-law
295
00:12:22,141 --> 00:12:23,779
three times a month
before he was released.
296
00:12:23,843 --> 00:12:24,981
So?
297
00:12:25,044 --> 00:12:29,493
"So?" You gave us
the definite impression that you hated his guts.
298
00:12:29,549 --> 00:12:31,620
Angie know about this?
Any reason she shouldn't?
299
00:12:34,254 --> 00:12:36,928
Ronnie owed me money.
He was always mooching.
300
00:12:36,990 --> 00:12:39,630
I even paid for his lawyer
last time he got tapped.
301
00:12:39,692 --> 00:12:41,296
I just went up there
to talk to him about it.
302
00:12:41,361 --> 00:12:43,568
How was he gonna pay
you back from prison?
303
00:12:44,797 --> 00:12:48,244
Before he went away,
Ronnie'd been ripping off stores for awhile.
304
00:12:48,301 --> 00:12:49,780
He had the stuff
stashed, you know,
305
00:12:49,836 --> 00:12:50,906
for when he got out.
306
00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:52,745
I only took
what I was owed.
307
00:12:52,805 --> 00:12:54,478
Where's the rest of it?
308
00:12:55,008 --> 00:12:56,612
(SHUTTER OPENING)
309
00:12:56,676 --> 00:12:58,212
Looks like there's
some new stuff here.
310
00:12:58,278 --> 00:12:59,985
Where'd he
get all this?
311
00:13:00,046 --> 00:13:01,423
After he quit
the warehouse,
312
00:13:01,481 --> 00:13:04,189
Ronnie and a buddy of his
worked at this carpet cleaning business.
313
00:13:04,250 --> 00:13:07,129
They'd take the job,
and Ronnie and his friend would case the location.
314
00:13:07,186 --> 00:13:09,291
Then they'd come back
a week later and rip 'em off.
315
00:13:09,355 --> 00:13:10,857
What's the name
of the company?
316
00:13:10,923 --> 00:13:12,129
Victory Carpet Cleaners.
317
00:13:12,191 --> 00:13:13,295
They're in the Bronx.
318
00:13:13,359 --> 00:13:15,361
I'm gonna call a car,
have 'em bring this in.
319
00:13:17,263 --> 00:13:20,506
Look, I only took enough
to cover what I was owed.
320
00:13:20,566 --> 00:13:23,410
I hadn't heard from Ronnie
in almost a month when you guys showed up.
321
00:13:23,469 --> 00:13:26,678
And the guy Ronnie
pulled this scam with, what was his name?
322
00:13:26,739 --> 00:13:29,618
Paul something.
They were cellmates at Sing Sing.
323
00:13:31,144 --> 00:13:33,556
I had nothing to do
with Ronnie getting killed.
324
00:13:33,613 --> 00:13:35,718
No? How's the carpet
cleaning business, Paul?
325
00:13:35,782 --> 00:13:37,659
Yeah, we hear you're
quite the entrepreneur.
326
00:13:37,717 --> 00:13:38,923
I don't know what
you're talking about.
327
00:13:38,985 --> 00:13:40,259
We know you and Ronnie
did time together
328
00:13:40,319 --> 00:13:41,821
and shared a place
when you got out.
329
00:13:41,888 --> 00:13:45,131
We also know you and
Ronnie worked for that carpet cleaning company.
330
00:13:45,191 --> 00:13:47,137
Only you were cleaning out
a lot more than carpets.
331
00:13:47,193 --> 00:13:48,729
Oh, yeah?
Says who?
332
00:13:48,795 --> 00:13:51,935
Says your signature
on the storage space agreement.
333
00:13:51,998 --> 00:13:55,275
And that puts you
in possession of stolen property, genius.
334
00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:56,405
ED: You're going
back upstate, Paul,
335
00:13:56,469 --> 00:13:58,949
unless you start talking
about what really happened to Ronnie.
336
00:13:59,005 --> 00:14:01,349
What went down?
He get a little greedy? Is that it?
337
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:04,251
PAUL: I had nothing to do
with Ronnie getting killed.
338
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:06,483
The night Ronnie
got clipped, I was in the hospital.
339
00:14:06,546 --> 00:14:07,684
St. Vincent's.
340
00:14:07,747 --> 00:14:10,728
I spend one night
a week there. Dialysis.
341
00:14:12,318 --> 00:14:14,889
The dialysis defense.
That's a new one.
342
00:14:14,954 --> 00:14:16,831
I'll check with
St. Vincent's.
343
00:14:16,889 --> 00:14:19,665
We just got a hit
on some of your stolen merchandise
344
00:14:19,726 --> 00:14:21,467
from the storage locker.
345
00:14:21,527 --> 00:14:24,531
Serial numbers trace
back to an unsolved murder-robbery
346
00:14:24,597 --> 00:14:28,010
at an electronics store,
July 5th. Alan Cobin.
347
00:14:28,067 --> 00:14:30,069
This story just keeps
getting better, don't it?
348
00:14:30,136 --> 00:14:31,877
Well, hold him on
the stolen property.
349
00:14:31,938 --> 00:14:35,385
In the meantime,
see what you can dig up on this other homicide.
350
00:14:35,441 --> 00:14:37,443
I'll call the 31st,
give them a heads-up.
351
00:14:41,180 --> 00:14:43,023
LORRAINE:
I don't recognize either of them.
352
00:14:43,082 --> 00:14:44,322
I'm sorry.
353
00:14:45,685 --> 00:14:48,291
Did the store
ever use a carpet cleaning company
354
00:14:48,354 --> 00:14:49,628
called Victory?
355
00:14:49,689 --> 00:14:53,000
Oh, I wouldn't know.
Alan took care of all the store business.
356
00:14:53,059 --> 00:14:54,129
Why?
357
00:14:54,193 --> 00:14:56,469
These two men worked
for that company.
358
00:14:56,529 --> 00:14:59,009
We think they may
have cased the store during the job,
359
00:14:59,065 --> 00:15:00,772
and then come back
later to rob it.
360
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,673
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
361
00:15:02,735 --> 00:15:04,146
Please excuse me.
362
00:15:04,203 --> 00:15:05,807
How'd you find these guys?
ED: Green.
363
00:15:05,872 --> 00:15:08,876
They were in possession
of property stolen from the store
364
00:15:08,941 --> 00:15:10,215
during your father's murder.
365
00:15:11,277 --> 00:15:13,553
Actually, he was
my step-father.
366
00:15:13,613 --> 00:15:15,650
But he treated me
like his own.
367
00:15:16,883 --> 00:15:19,159
Alan and I were together
almost five years.
368
00:15:19,852 --> 00:15:22,128
It's hard to believe
he's really gone.
369
00:15:23,055 --> 00:15:25,228
So, are these guys
in jail now?
370
00:15:25,291 --> 00:15:28,670
The man we think
was responsible for your step-father's death
371
00:15:28,728 --> 00:15:31,072
was shot and killed
earlier this week.
372
00:15:32,465 --> 00:15:35,344
Look, if, uh, anything
jars your memory,
373
00:15:35,401 --> 00:15:36,846
please give us a call.
374
00:15:36,903 --> 00:15:38,746
I'm sorry I couldn't
be more helpful.
375
00:15:38,805 --> 00:15:40,341
Thanks.
376
00:15:40,406 --> 00:15:42,477
Okay, I gotta go.
377
00:15:42,542 --> 00:15:43,987
Can you believe
this guy's luck?
378
00:15:44,043 --> 00:15:46,580
The hospital confirms
Kasperski's treatment schedule.
379
00:15:46,646 --> 00:15:48,250
He's in the clear
on both murders.
380
00:15:48,314 --> 00:15:50,988
Perfectly good suspect.
I hate when that happens.
381
00:15:54,353 --> 00:15:56,355
MILTON: Alan Cobin?
That one's getting cold.
382
00:15:56,422 --> 00:15:57,867
Well, run it
down for us.
383
00:15:57,924 --> 00:16:00,598
Millionaire owner
of a high-volume electronics store.
384
00:16:00,660 --> 00:16:03,106
Fourth of July weekend,
goes in one night to finish some paperwork,
385
00:16:03,162 --> 00:16:06,371
surprises somebody
helping himself to some free high-end stereo equipment.
386
00:16:06,432 --> 00:16:08,105
It seemed like
a straight-up robbery-murder.
387
00:16:08,167 --> 00:16:09,646
One in the face
with a .38.
388
00:16:09,702 --> 00:16:11,511
No leads?
What, are you kidding me?
389
00:16:11,571 --> 00:16:13,915
Wife put up
a $50,000 reward.
390
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:15,179
Hotline was burning up.
391
00:16:15,775 --> 00:16:17,584
You ever come
across this guy?
392
00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:23,460
BRISCOE: Ever hear
of a place called Victory Carpet Cleaners?
393
00:16:23,516 --> 00:16:24,586
Who are they?
394
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:27,062
Couple of employees
had a burglar scam going.
395
00:16:27,119 --> 00:16:29,190
You know, casing places
and then robbing them later.
396
00:16:29,255 --> 00:16:31,098
Yeah, we checked
out the regular maintenance crew.
397
00:16:31,157 --> 00:16:32,898
Mind of we take a look
at your files?
398
00:16:32,959 --> 00:16:34,302
Yeah, be my guest.
399
00:16:36,062 --> 00:16:38,872
Can you believe
what a high-definition TV goes for?
400
00:16:38,931 --> 00:16:40,239
Ten grand.
401
00:16:40,299 --> 00:16:43,576
Instead of high-def,
they ought to call it outrageously high-def.
402
00:16:44,770 --> 00:16:47,910
Here it is.
Work order for Victory Carpet Cleaners.
403
00:16:47,974 --> 00:16:49,681
Let me see that.
404
00:16:51,744 --> 00:16:53,849
That puts Ronnie
in the store a week before the murder.
405
00:16:53,913 --> 00:16:56,325
That's only half of it.
Look who signed the invoice.
406
00:16:56,816 --> 00:16:57,954
Cobin's widow.
407
00:16:58,017 --> 00:16:59,519
Sweet Lorraine.
408
00:17:03,623 --> 00:17:05,125
SERENA: A $7 million estate
409
00:17:05,191 --> 00:17:07,193
and no one considered her
a suspect before this?
410
00:17:07,260 --> 00:17:08,762
Well, the wife
was looked at,
411
00:17:08,828 --> 00:17:11,707
but all the evidence
pointed to a robbery-homicide.
412
00:17:11,764 --> 00:17:13,835
No one made the connection
between her and Buck
413
00:17:13,900 --> 00:17:16,471
until we noticed her name
on the work order.
414
00:17:16,535 --> 00:17:19,516
So, she's the one
who let the fox into the henhouse.
415
00:17:19,572 --> 00:17:21,347
Where was she
at the time of her husband's murder?
416
00:17:21,407 --> 00:17:24,183
Out with friends.
Elizabeth and Andrew Dumas.
417
00:17:24,243 --> 00:17:25,483
They saw a show.
418
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:27,683
Pretty cool customer.
419
00:17:27,747 --> 00:17:30,819
Footlights of Broadway
while hubby takes one in the head.
420
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:33,762
And three months later,
Buck winds up with a bullet in his brain.
421
00:17:33,820 --> 00:17:35,527
Hard to buy as coincidence.
422
00:17:35,588 --> 00:17:38,194
So Mrs. Cobin hires Buck
to hit her husband,
423
00:17:38,257 --> 00:17:39,736
and then disposes
of Mr. Buck.
424
00:17:39,792 --> 00:17:40,896
How did she
manage that?
425
00:17:41,427 --> 00:17:43,202
We're still running that down.
426
00:17:43,262 --> 00:17:45,765
Buck's partner in
the cleaning scam
427
00:17:45,832 --> 00:17:47,812
has alibis for both murders,
428
00:17:47,867 --> 00:17:50,313
but we think he knows
more than he's letting on.
429
00:17:50,369 --> 00:17:51,541
How so?
430
00:17:51,604 --> 00:17:54,483
His car was on the list
of registrations we ran
431
00:17:54,540 --> 00:17:56,611
from the parking lot
the night Buck was killed.
432
00:17:58,344 --> 00:17:59,379
Where is he now?
433
00:17:59,445 --> 00:18:02,255
Rikers. We're holding him
on stolen property charges.
434
00:18:03,716 --> 00:18:04,956
There were 240 cars
435
00:18:05,017 --> 00:18:06,963
at A and N Parking
the night Ronnie Buck was killed.
436
00:18:07,019 --> 00:18:09,295
One of them
was registered to your client.
437
00:18:10,890 --> 00:18:12,631
Sol loaned Ronnie my car?
438
00:18:12,692 --> 00:18:16,071
We can link Ronnie Buck
to the robbery of Alan Cobin's store
439
00:18:16,128 --> 00:18:17,402
through the stolen property.
440
00:18:17,463 --> 00:18:20,467
Stolen property
in your possession.
441
00:18:20,533 --> 00:18:22,535
He has an airtight alibi
for that night.
442
00:18:22,602 --> 00:18:25,139
But not for the night
he and Mr. Buck cased the store.
443
00:18:25,204 --> 00:18:26,444
That is the
crew assignment
444
00:18:26,505 --> 00:18:28,451
for the night Cobin's carpets
were supposedly cleaned.
445
00:18:28,507 --> 00:18:30,646
If you look close,
you'll see your name there.
446
00:18:30,710 --> 00:18:32,587
JACK: Co-conspirators
don't have to be present
447
00:18:32,645 --> 00:18:34,818
at a crime scene,
Mr. Kasperski.
448
00:18:34,881 --> 00:18:36,588
Which means alibi or not,
449
00:18:36,649 --> 00:18:38,856
we can link you
to Cobin's homicide.
450
00:18:42,088 --> 00:18:43,260
Can they do that?
451
00:18:43,322 --> 00:18:44,665
JACK: We can and we will.
452
00:18:45,424 --> 00:18:48,064
Once that happens,
you're looking at life in prison.
453
00:18:49,228 --> 00:18:50,969
And if he cooperates?
454
00:18:51,030 --> 00:18:52,441
If his information's good,
455
00:18:52,498 --> 00:18:54,500
the charges
remain E felonies.
456
00:18:56,836 --> 00:19:00,010
I had nothing to do with
anybody getting capped.
457
00:19:02,308 --> 00:19:03,844
Ronnie borrowed
my car that night.
458
00:19:03,909 --> 00:19:05,946
He said he had some
business to take care of.
459
00:19:06,545 --> 00:19:08,422
What sort of business?
460
00:19:09,248 --> 00:19:12,229
Couple of months ago,
when we were at the electronics store,
461
00:19:12,285 --> 00:19:14,492
I thought we were
casing out a regular job.
462
00:19:14,954 --> 00:19:18,094
But only Ronnie tells me
he's doing this one solo.
463
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:19,397
Why?
464
00:19:23,362 --> 00:19:25,808
Told me he was getting
10 grand to kill the owner.
465
00:19:26,399 --> 00:19:27,605
From who?
466
00:19:28,034 --> 00:19:29,172
Some woman.
467
00:19:29,235 --> 00:19:30,714
But you don't know who.
468
00:19:30,770 --> 00:19:32,909
All I know is
that the night that Ronnie got killed,
469
00:19:32,972 --> 00:19:36,181
he was supposed
to be meeting her in the parking lot.
470
00:19:36,242 --> 00:19:37,380
JACK: Why?
471
00:19:38,811 --> 00:19:40,085
I don't know.
472
00:19:40,146 --> 00:19:42,319
I guess
he was shaking the broad down.
473
00:19:42,949 --> 00:19:44,951
He always was
a greedy bastard.
474
00:19:45,751 --> 00:19:48,391
SERENA: So instead
of bringing money, she brings a gun.
475
00:19:48,454 --> 00:19:49,933
According to Kasperski.
476
00:19:49,989 --> 00:19:51,024
What about
the work order?
477
00:19:51,090 --> 00:19:53,092
You'd need more
than that to connect Buck and Mrs. Cobin
478
00:19:53,159 --> 00:19:54,229
to her husband's murder.
479
00:19:54,293 --> 00:19:56,739
If she is involved,
there's got to be a link to Buck somewhere.
480
00:19:56,796 --> 00:19:58,400
Well... Phone records?
481
00:19:58,464 --> 00:20:00,535
We already ran IUDs
from the Cobins' home,
482
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:02,203
Buck's sister's house
and Kasperski's place.
483
00:20:02,268 --> 00:20:03,804
Not a single call
between them.
484
00:20:03,869 --> 00:20:05,815
She could have
used a middle man.
485
00:20:09,442 --> 00:20:11,615
SERENA: Mr. Dimmick,
we know that Lorraine Cobin and Ronald Buck
486
00:20:11,677 --> 00:20:14,248
both placed calls to you
the week before Alan Cobin's murder.
487
00:20:14,313 --> 00:20:15,451
I'll have to check
my records.
488
00:20:15,514 --> 00:20:16,720
I already did.
489
00:20:16,782 --> 00:20:20,662
I also know that
you represented Mrs. Cobin in her matrimonial action,
490
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,700
Mr. Buck in his
criminal matters.
491
00:20:22,755 --> 00:20:25,793
It's a general practice.
Please, tell a friend.
492
00:20:26,659 --> 00:20:27,933
What about the calls?
493
00:20:28,260 --> 00:20:29,295
Correct me if I'm wrong,
494
00:20:29,361 --> 00:20:32,342
but I don't think
dispensing legal advice to two legitimate clients
495
00:20:32,398 --> 00:20:33,900
constitutes
a criminal offense.
496
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,638
Well, it's the timing
that concerns me.
497
00:20:35,701 --> 00:20:37,009
Ronnie had
a parole problem.
498
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:38,946
Lorraine was considering
purchasing a summer home.
499
00:20:39,005 --> 00:20:41,849
I'm pretty sure
they're not the only clients I spoke with that week.
500
00:20:42,541 --> 00:20:43,884
Mr. Dimmick, you're
the only common link
501
00:20:43,943 --> 00:20:45,149
between Lorraine Cobin
and Ronnie Buck.
502
00:20:46,078 --> 00:20:48,456
I don't respond
well to threats, Ms. Southerlyn.
503
00:20:48,514 --> 00:20:50,323
Especially
when they're empty.
504
00:20:51,050 --> 00:20:52,495
What about questions
in front of a grand jury?
505
00:20:52,551 --> 00:20:54,292
How do you
respond to those?
506
00:20:54,353 --> 00:20:56,560
In this case,
I'll invoke so many privileges
507
00:20:56,622 --> 00:20:59,603
you'll be on your
second face lift by the time I'm through.
508
00:21:02,928 --> 00:21:05,272
I'm surprised
he didn't invoke attorney-client privilege
509
00:21:05,331 --> 00:21:06,810
the minute you walked
in the room.
510
00:21:06,866 --> 00:21:09,039
Well, I guess I have
a way with shysters.
511
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:12,571
LEWIN: It's pretty shrewd,
going through a lawyer, hmm?
512
00:21:13,739 --> 00:21:15,377
What else do we
know about her?
513
00:21:15,441 --> 00:21:18,684
She was born
Lorraine Strickland, Yonkers in 1959.
514
00:21:18,744 --> 00:21:20,348
Married twice.
515
00:21:20,413 --> 00:21:22,154
She has a 20-year-old
daughter, Melissa,
516
00:21:22,214 --> 00:21:24,285
who's a junior
at Pierce College.
517
00:21:24,350 --> 00:21:27,058
Briscoe and Green
spoke to Alan Cobin's sister in Florida.
518
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,928
According to her,
Lorraine's sole ambition in life
519
00:21:28,988 --> 00:21:31,730
has been attracting
wealthy men to support her.
520
00:21:31,791 --> 00:21:33,737
What else did Alan's
sister have to say?
521
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:35,636
Just that she felt bad
for the daughter.
522
00:21:35,694 --> 00:21:38,174
Lorraine was so busy
clawing her way up the social ladder,
523
00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:40,335
she apparently never
had much time for her.
524
00:21:42,001 --> 00:21:44,038
What do we know about
the first husband?
525
00:21:46,672 --> 00:21:47,912
NICK: Never thought
I'd get married,
526
00:21:47,973 --> 00:21:50,351
much less to a woman
with a half-grown kid.
527
00:21:50,409 --> 00:21:51,854
Melissa's not yours?
528
00:21:51,911 --> 00:21:53,948
Lorraine got pregnant
in her twenties.
529
00:21:54,013 --> 00:21:55,458
Guy ran off on her.
530
00:21:55,514 --> 00:21:57,460
Melissa was nine
when we got together.
531
00:21:57,516 --> 00:21:58,859
How long were you married?
532
00:21:58,918 --> 00:22:00,090
Four years.
533
00:22:00,152 --> 00:22:01,324
What happened?
534
00:22:01,387 --> 00:22:03,833
When I met Lorraine,
business was booming.
535
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:07,930
I bought a big Victorian,
found a nice school for Melissa.
536
00:22:08,627 --> 00:22:10,072
I thought we were happy.
537
00:22:10,129 --> 00:22:11,767
What changed?
538
00:22:11,831 --> 00:22:13,242
Real estate market
went south,
539
00:22:13,299 --> 00:22:14,437
Lorraine went with it.
540
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:16,537
You think she was
only interested in your money?
541
00:22:16,602 --> 00:22:18,275
When the woman you love
542
00:22:18,337 --> 00:22:21,648
uses her daughter
to make false allegations in court
543
00:22:21,707 --> 00:22:23,584
to get a bigger piece
of the pie...
544
00:22:24,310 --> 00:22:26,051
What sort of allegations?
545
00:22:28,781 --> 00:22:30,988
Allegations that
involved her daughter?
546
00:22:31,383 --> 00:22:33,488
They weren't true.
547
00:22:35,087 --> 00:22:38,694
Lorraine had this lawyer,
a real bottom-feeder.
548
00:22:38,757 --> 00:22:40,236
Guy named Dimmick.
549
00:22:41,794 --> 00:22:45,799
He and Lorraine
got Melissa to say I was abusive.
550
00:22:47,733 --> 00:22:49,110
But as God as my witness,
551
00:22:49,168 --> 00:22:50,909
I never laid a hand on her.
552
00:22:51,904 --> 00:22:53,178
Or Lorraine.
553
00:22:55,441 --> 00:22:56,511
You believe him?
554
00:22:56,575 --> 00:22:58,213
My gut reaction, yes.
555
00:22:58,277 --> 00:23:00,120
He also said
the first time the abuse came up
556
00:23:00,179 --> 00:23:03,126
was when he opposed
Lorraine's financial demands in the divorce.
557
00:23:03,182 --> 00:23:04,752
Let's assume
it was a fabrication.
558
00:23:04,817 --> 00:23:06,694
It was a successful strategy.
559
00:23:07,386 --> 00:23:10,230
Why not use
another trumped up charge against Cobin?
560
00:23:10,289 --> 00:23:11,962
Why kill him instead?
561
00:23:12,024 --> 00:23:13,298
Pre-nup.
562
00:23:13,826 --> 00:23:17,899
Lorraine was limited
to one hundred grand for every year of marriage.
563
00:23:17,963 --> 00:23:19,965
Small change compared
to seven million.
564
00:23:20,032 --> 00:23:22,012
I also did some digging
in her financials.
565
00:23:22,067 --> 00:23:23,705
Look at this wire transfer.
566
00:23:24,637 --> 00:23:27,049
$50,000 to Elizabeth Dumas.
567
00:23:27,573 --> 00:23:28,643
The woman
Lorraine was with
568
00:23:28,707 --> 00:23:30,653
the night her husband
was murdered.
569
00:23:32,378 --> 00:23:33,857
We were at their house
having coffee
570
00:23:33,913 --> 00:23:36,052
when Lorraine found
out about Alan.
571
00:23:36,115 --> 00:23:37,355
It was horrible.
572
00:23:37,416 --> 00:23:40,226
Mrs. Dumas,
Mrs. Cobin wired $50,000
573
00:23:40,286 --> 00:23:42,926
to your account
a few weeks after Mr. Cobin's death.
574
00:23:42,988 --> 00:23:45,901
A loan for
our restaurant.
575
00:23:45,958 --> 00:23:47,665
The recession hit us hard.
576
00:23:47,726 --> 00:23:49,865
Do you have
a promissory note? Any sort of contract?
577
00:23:49,929 --> 00:23:51,670
Lorraine and I
are close friends.
578
00:23:51,730 --> 00:23:53,801
She never asked me
to sign anything.
579
00:23:54,500 --> 00:23:55,877
What is this about?
580
00:23:57,403 --> 00:23:59,474
Do you know a man
named Ronald Buck?
581
00:23:59,538 --> 00:24:02,678
No, I don't.
Why are you asking me these questions?
582
00:24:02,741 --> 00:24:03,776
You've never seen
this man before?
583
00:24:03,842 --> 00:24:05,617
No. I just told you,
I hadn't...
584
00:24:08,147 --> 00:24:09,558
Mrs. Dumas?
585
00:24:12,518 --> 00:24:14,930
Actually, I have seen him.
586
00:24:14,987 --> 00:24:16,227
Where?
587
00:24:17,089 --> 00:24:20,161
Look, I don't want
to cause any trouble for Lorraine.
588
00:24:21,694 --> 00:24:25,232
And I assume
you don't want to cause any trouble for yourself.
589
00:24:27,233 --> 00:24:29,008
It's nothing really.
590
00:24:29,068 --> 00:24:31,639
We were playing tennis
one day over at the piers.
591
00:24:31,704 --> 00:24:33,081
Afterwards,
I went to get the car.
592
00:24:33,138 --> 00:24:35,118
When I came back,
she was talking to this man.
593
00:24:35,174 --> 00:24:36,744
What about?
I don't know.
594
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:38,186
I was in the car.
595
00:24:38,244 --> 00:24:40,815
But when she got in,
she seemed very upset.
596
00:24:40,879 --> 00:24:42,449
I asked her
if everything was all right,
597
00:24:42,514 --> 00:24:46,485
and she just said
he was some business associate of Alan's.
598
00:24:46,552 --> 00:24:47,656
That's it.
599
00:24:48,587 --> 00:24:49,827
Thanks.
600
00:24:49,888 --> 00:24:52,425
This is ridiculous.
I have done nothing but cooperate with the police.
601
00:24:52,491 --> 00:24:53,663
And tell a few fibs.
602
00:24:53,726 --> 00:24:55,399
MELISSA:
My mom's not a liar.
603
00:24:56,362 --> 00:24:58,501
Honey, maybe you
shouldn't be here.
604
00:24:58,564 --> 00:24:59,634
No, I want to be here.
605
00:24:59,698 --> 00:25:01,143
BRISCOE: Any luck?
606
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,440
Luck with what?
607
00:25:02,968 --> 00:25:05,244
Oh, a .22 caliber
Smith &Wesson.
608
00:25:05,304 --> 00:25:07,284
You happen to
remember where you hid it, Mrs. Cobin?
609
00:25:07,339 --> 00:25:08,545
Help us a lot if you did.
610
00:25:08,607 --> 00:25:09,984
I don't own a gun.
611
00:25:10,042 --> 00:25:11,680
We've never had
a gun in this house.
612
00:25:11,744 --> 00:25:13,155
Lennie...
613
00:25:13,212 --> 00:25:15,453
Found this
under the front seat of her car.
614
00:25:15,514 --> 00:25:17,323
Oh, a parking stub
from A and N.
615
00:25:17,383 --> 00:25:19,192
The lot where
Ronnie Buck was killed.
616
00:25:19,251 --> 00:25:21,231
You didn't find
that in my car, you put it there.
617
00:25:21,286 --> 00:25:22,890
I knew these fake
parking stubs
618
00:25:22,955 --> 00:25:24,025
would come in
handy someday.
619
00:25:24,089 --> 00:25:26,296
Lorraine Cobin,
you're under arrest for the murder of Ronnie Buck.
620
00:25:26,358 --> 00:25:27,359
Whoa, this is a mistake.
621
00:25:27,426 --> 00:25:28,700
Honey, it'll be okay.
Tell them this is a mistake.
622
00:25:28,761 --> 00:25:30,240
Melissa,
it will be fine.
623
00:25:30,296 --> 00:25:31,969
Okay, listen, just
call Ray Dimmick
624
00:25:32,031 --> 00:25:34,136
and tell him I need
a lawyer right away.
625
00:25:39,304 --> 00:25:42,649
My client forgot to mention
a work order for a carpet cleaning company.
626
00:25:42,708 --> 00:25:44,654
Her husband
had been murdered, for God's sake.
627
00:25:44,710 --> 00:25:47,122
JACK: She also said
she'd never met Ronald Buck.
628
00:25:47,179 --> 00:25:49,352
We have a witness
who puts them together arguing.
629
00:25:49,415 --> 00:25:51,156
I can explain that.
630
00:25:51,583 --> 00:25:54,928
As I understand it,
your witness was 20 feet away in a car at the time.
631
00:25:54,987 --> 00:25:56,830
SERENA: We also have
the parking stub.
632
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:58,459
Dated a month before
Buck was killed.
633
00:25:58,524 --> 00:26:00,731
I can explain that to
a jury half a dozen ways.
634
00:26:00,793 --> 00:26:02,431
And I'll explain
it this way.
635
00:26:02,494 --> 00:26:04,474
Buck was blackmailing
your client,
636
00:26:04,530 --> 00:26:06,908
and she was making
the payoffs in the parking lot.
637
00:26:06,965 --> 00:26:09,536
Except for the last time,
when she decided enough was enough.
638
00:26:09,601 --> 00:26:12,480
My client has an alibi
for the night Buck was killed.
639
00:26:12,538 --> 00:26:15,417
She was with her daughter
at the apartment all night long.
640
00:26:15,474 --> 00:26:17,613
Can anyone else
verify that?
641
00:26:19,678 --> 00:26:22,750
A daughter's alibi
won't carry much weight with a jury.
642
00:26:30,789 --> 00:26:33,827
Uh, we ate dinner,
we watched TV, we went to bed.
643
00:26:33,892 --> 00:26:35,371
You live on campus,
don't you?
644
00:26:35,427 --> 00:26:37,634
Yeah. I needed
to do laundry at my mom's house.
645
00:26:37,696 --> 00:26:39,175
And I slept over.
646
00:26:40,532 --> 00:26:42,205
Melissa, you're
going to have to testify under oath.
647
00:26:42,267 --> 00:26:43,905
Do you understand
what that means?
648
00:26:43,969 --> 00:26:45,539
Well, I'm not an idiot.
649
00:26:45,604 --> 00:26:48,278
If you're lying,
you could be charged with perjury.
650
00:26:49,108 --> 00:26:50,416
And what about you?
651
00:26:51,043 --> 00:26:53,614
What do you get
charged with for ruining my mother's life?
652
00:26:53,679 --> 00:26:56,250
If she's guilty,
your mother brought this on herself.
653
00:26:56,315 --> 00:26:57,316
You know, you
wouldn't say that
654
00:26:57,382 --> 00:26:58,884
if you ever saw her
around Alan.
655
00:26:59,651 --> 00:27:02,291
I mean, her whole life
revolved around him.
656
00:27:02,354 --> 00:27:03,992
And she loved him.
657
00:27:05,157 --> 00:27:07,034
She loved Nick Clauson, too.
658
00:27:13,599 --> 00:27:18,275
No witnesses,
no murder weapon, and no money trail.
659
00:27:18,337 --> 00:27:20,874
We have a widow
who stood to gain $7 million
660
00:27:20,939 --> 00:27:22,043
from her husband's death.
661
00:27:22,107 --> 00:27:24,485
We have a work order that
she signed and lied about,
662
00:27:24,543 --> 00:27:26,580
that places the hit man
at her husband's store,
663
00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:29,251
and the murder of
that hit man only three months later.
664
00:27:29,314 --> 00:27:30,816
And we also know
from Kasperski
665
00:27:30,883 --> 00:27:32,692
that the person
who hired Buck was a woman.
666
00:27:32,751 --> 00:27:34,731
Can't all be
coincidences, Nora.
667
00:27:34,787 --> 00:27:36,892
It still sounds to me like
you're half a story short
668
00:27:36,955 --> 00:27:38,229
in each case.
669
00:27:38,290 --> 00:27:40,793
You've got murder
without a motive and motive without a murder.
670
00:27:40,859 --> 00:27:43,396
I'm preparing a motion
to consolidate both homicides.
671
00:27:43,462 --> 00:27:44,668
Tie them together.
672
00:27:45,397 --> 00:27:47,377
Two murders, one trial.
673
00:27:48,233 --> 00:27:50,110
Just enough evidence
to go around?
674
00:27:50,169 --> 00:27:52,809
And only
a daughter's alibi to disprove it.
675
00:27:53,405 --> 00:27:55,681
You better nail down
her timeline.
676
00:27:55,741 --> 00:27:57,345
Break the alibi.
677
00:28:00,312 --> 00:28:01,723
SERENA: How long
have you guys been roommates?
678
00:28:01,780 --> 00:28:04,124
Suitemates.
Since sophomore year.
679
00:28:04,850 --> 00:28:08,093
What can you tell me
about Melissa's relationship with her mother?
680
00:28:08,153 --> 00:28:09,723
I guess
they're really tight.
681
00:28:10,389 --> 00:28:11,629
You're not so sure?
682
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:15,069
Sometimes it just seems
a little one-sided, that's all.
683
00:28:15,127 --> 00:28:17,073
Like Melissa makes
all the effort, you know.
684
00:28:17,896 --> 00:28:19,102
In what ways?
685
00:28:19,164 --> 00:28:20,438
Like during
Christmas break.
686
00:28:20,499 --> 00:28:22,604
Melissa was the only one
with parents in the area
687
00:28:22,668 --> 00:28:24,011
who stayed
in the dorm.
688
00:28:24,403 --> 00:28:26,610
Her mother was off skiing.
689
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,413
What about that night
that we talked about?
690
00:28:30,475 --> 00:28:31,613
I told you on the phone,
691
00:28:31,677 --> 00:28:33,918
Melissa left around seven.
692
00:28:33,979 --> 00:28:35,515
Didn't come home
till breakfast.
693
00:28:35,581 --> 00:28:37,219
Was that unusual?
694
00:28:38,150 --> 00:28:39,754
She isn't exactly
a party animal,
695
00:28:39,818 --> 00:28:41,058
if that's what you mean.
696
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:42,599
No, I meant
her taking her laundry there
697
00:28:42,654 --> 00:28:44,031
and spending the night
at her mother's.
698
00:28:44,089 --> 00:28:45,830
What do you mean
her laundry?
699
00:28:48,260 --> 00:28:50,467
So, I made a mistake
about the laundry.
700
00:28:51,697 --> 00:28:53,973
It's been a rough time,
with my step-father and everything.
701
00:28:54,032 --> 00:28:55,272
JACK: It's not
just a mistake.
702
00:28:55,334 --> 00:28:56,870
It's tied to an
official statement
703
00:28:56,935 --> 00:28:58,141
you gave to
Ms. Southerlyn
704
00:28:58,203 --> 00:29:00,809
about why you went over
to your mother's apartment that night.
705
00:29:00,873 --> 00:29:02,375
MELISSA: I was there.
706
00:29:02,441 --> 00:29:04,216
The doorman saw me
leave in the morning.
707
00:29:04,910 --> 00:29:07,481
Only you weren't
with your mother the whole time, were you?
708
00:29:09,014 --> 00:29:11,255
SERENA: Look,
we understand. She's your mother.
709
00:29:11,316 --> 00:29:12,659
You want to protect her.
710
00:29:12,718 --> 00:29:14,288
But we know
you're lying, Melissa.
711
00:29:14,786 --> 00:29:15,890
No.
712
00:29:15,954 --> 00:29:17,592
JACK: How much do
you think it's going to help your mother
713
00:29:17,656 --> 00:29:19,533
if you tell this story
about an alibi,
714
00:29:19,591 --> 00:29:21,400
and I rip it apart
in front of the jury?
715
00:29:22,761 --> 00:29:23,967
It's called perjury.
716
00:29:24,029 --> 00:29:26,168
When that happens,
not only does your mother go away,
717
00:29:26,231 --> 00:29:27,608
you go with her.
718
00:29:31,236 --> 00:29:32,874
She's using you.
719
00:29:32,938 --> 00:29:35,179
Just like she did
with Nick Clauson, Melissa.
720
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:36,685
You don't know my mother.
721
00:29:37,643 --> 00:29:39,486
She's not like that.
722
00:29:39,544 --> 00:29:41,114
She's just had
a tough life.
723
00:29:47,419 --> 00:29:48,898
I went out shopping.
724
00:29:49,921 --> 00:29:51,923
When I came back,
she was home.
725
00:29:51,990 --> 00:29:53,230
Do you understand?
726
00:29:53,292 --> 00:29:54,362
She was home.
727
00:29:55,193 --> 00:29:56,433
When was that?
728
00:29:59,965 --> 00:30:01,967
11:30-12:00.
729
00:30:03,869 --> 00:30:05,815
If you were counting
on your daughter to bail you out,
730
00:30:05,871 --> 00:30:06,872
you can forget it.
731
00:30:06,939 --> 00:30:09,010
She admitted the
night Ronald Buck was killed
732
00:30:09,074 --> 00:30:10,144
she went shopping.
733
00:30:10,208 --> 00:30:11,346
She didn't get back
to the apartment
734
00:30:11,410 --> 00:30:13,014
until sometime
after 11:30.
735
00:30:13,078 --> 00:30:15,786
Leaving your client
plenty of time to commit the murder.
736
00:30:17,049 --> 00:30:19,461
There won't be any
alibi, Mrs. Cobin.
737
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,991
AXTELL: ls there
a deal on the table?
738
00:30:24,690 --> 00:30:27,068
No. No deal.
739
00:30:27,125 --> 00:30:30,368
We're prepared to
go as low as eight and a third-to-25.
740
00:30:32,164 --> 00:30:34,007
Lorraine?
I said no.
741
00:30:34,466 --> 00:30:36,776
You could get murder one
if this goes to trial.
742
00:30:36,835 --> 00:30:38,405
I did not commit murder.
743
00:30:38,470 --> 00:30:40,575
AXTELL: Maybe
we should take some time to think about this.
744
00:30:40,639 --> 00:30:41,879
There's nothing
to think about.
745
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:43,283
I will not plead guilty.
746
00:30:45,110 --> 00:30:47,454
I brought this along
just in case.
747
00:30:48,547 --> 00:30:52,290
A motion to dismiss
the charges arising out of Alan Cobin's murder.
748
00:31:01,093 --> 00:31:04,404
The People's case
in the Cobin murder rests on a statement
749
00:31:04,463 --> 00:31:07,137
allegedly made
by Mr. Buck to his former cell-mate.
750
00:31:07,199 --> 00:31:09,679
No, Paul Kasperski
participated with Buck
751
00:31:09,735 --> 00:31:12,215
in casing out
the store a week before Cobin's murder.
752
00:31:12,270 --> 00:31:14,580
Yeah, but unfortunately
Mr. Buck is not around
753
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,678
to confirm or deny that
statement or anything else, for that matter.
754
00:31:17,743 --> 00:31:20,087
And if I allow
Mr. Kasperski to testify,
755
00:31:20,145 --> 00:31:22,318
your client
can't cross-examine her accuser.
756
00:31:22,381 --> 00:31:24,418
The only reason
she can't is because she murdered him.
757
00:31:24,483 --> 00:31:26,087
AXTELL: Last time
I checked,
758
00:31:26,151 --> 00:31:28,961
she had not been
tried or convicted of Buck's murder.
759
00:31:29,021 --> 00:31:30,159
If Kasperski testifies,
760
00:31:30,222 --> 00:31:32,668
I got a built-in
Sixth Amendment issue on appeal.
761
00:31:32,724 --> 00:31:35,864
Your Honor can't seriously
entertain the notion that a defendant
762
00:31:35,927 --> 00:31:39,966
can benefit in one murder
by killing the witness, by committing another.
763
00:31:40,032 --> 00:31:42,535
I didn't draft
the Constitution, Mr. McCoy.
764
00:31:42,601 --> 00:31:43,944
No, but you can
interpret it.
765
00:31:44,002 --> 00:31:46,778
These two cases are
inextricably linked.
766
00:31:46,838 --> 00:31:50,012
What's the good of proving
that the defendant had an opportunity to kill Buck
767
00:31:50,075 --> 00:31:51,611
if I can't show
the jury why?
768
00:31:53,645 --> 00:31:54,988
You raise a good point.
769
00:31:56,214 --> 00:31:58,160
Your Honor, any mention
of the Cobin murder
770
00:31:58,216 --> 00:32:00,127
would prejudice
the jury irreparably.
771
00:32:00,185 --> 00:32:03,166
Which is why I won't
allow these two homicides to be tried together.
772
00:32:03,221 --> 00:32:05,098
Your Honor...
However,
773
00:32:05,157 --> 00:32:06,363
what I will do
774
00:32:06,958 --> 00:32:10,303
is allow the People
to present evidence of Alan Cobin's murder,
775
00:32:10,362 --> 00:32:13,639
only in so far as
it pertains to motive in the murder of Ronald Buck.
776
00:32:14,333 --> 00:32:15,471
(SIGHING)
777
00:32:15,534 --> 00:32:18,413
Ooh, I always know
I'm right when neither party's happy.
778
00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:27,947
We were cleaning carpets at
Super Al's electronics store on 26th and Broadway.
779
00:32:28,013 --> 00:32:29,515
Me and Ronnie Buck.
780
00:32:29,581 --> 00:32:32,357
At that time what,
if anything, did Ronald Buck say to you
781
00:32:32,417 --> 00:32:34,021
about a murder for hire?
782
00:32:34,553 --> 00:32:37,056
He told me
he was getting ten grand to kill the owner.
783
00:32:37,656 --> 00:32:39,829
JACK: Did Mr. Buck
say who hired him?
784
00:32:39,891 --> 00:32:41,234
He said it was a woman.
785
00:32:41,293 --> 00:32:44,672
I thought maybe
it was, uh, you know, a wife, a girlfriend.
786
00:32:44,729 --> 00:32:46,037
AXTELL: Objection.
787
00:32:46,097 --> 00:32:48,509
Sustained.
Jury will disregard.
788
00:32:49,267 --> 00:32:52,373
JACK: Did that
subject arise again in a later conversation?
789
00:32:52,437 --> 00:32:54,713
Yeah, a month or so
later we were having a couple of beers,
790
00:32:54,773 --> 00:32:57,310
and, uh, Ronnie told me
that he was having trouble with her.
791
00:32:57,776 --> 00:32:59,119
What kind of trouble?
792
00:32:59,611 --> 00:33:01,557
He was shaking her down
for more money,
793
00:33:01,613 --> 00:33:03,684
and she was
getting tired of it.
794
00:33:05,317 --> 00:33:07,126
No further questions.
795
00:33:09,421 --> 00:33:11,162
Mr. Kasperski,
did Ronnie Buck ever tell you
796
00:33:11,223 --> 00:33:13,203
Lorraine Cobin hired him?
797
00:33:13,258 --> 00:33:14,259
PAUL: No.
798
00:33:14,326 --> 00:33:15,737
Just some woman.
799
00:33:15,794 --> 00:33:18,070
Right, that's what
he said. A broad.
800
00:33:18,129 --> 00:33:20,006
And when he said
he was having trouble with her,
801
00:33:20,065 --> 00:33:21,942
did he mention
a name then?
802
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,240
No.
803
00:33:25,370 --> 00:33:27,782
Oh, by the way,
did you ever go to the police
804
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:30,115
with any of
this information, Mr. Kasperski?
805
00:33:30,175 --> 00:33:31,347
No.
806
00:33:31,409 --> 00:33:33,514
Not till they
offered you a deal.
807
00:33:39,184 --> 00:33:43,428
JACK: Could you describe
the relationship between Mrs. Cobin and her husband?
808
00:33:43,488 --> 00:33:47,095
They had their good days
and their bad days, like any other marriage.
809
00:33:47,158 --> 00:33:49,434
They were both committed
to making it work.
810
00:33:51,062 --> 00:33:52,370
Mrs. Dumas,
811
00:33:53,665 --> 00:33:55,804
do you know
the man in this photo,
812
00:33:56,668 --> 00:33:57,942
Ronald Buck?
813
00:33:59,304 --> 00:34:01,147
His hair was
a little longer,
814
00:34:01,206 --> 00:34:04,312
but that is the man
I saw arguing with Lorraine
815
00:34:04,376 --> 00:34:06,049
the day we played tennis.
816
00:34:06,778 --> 00:34:08,223
Nothing further.
817
00:34:11,449 --> 00:34:13,725
When you say
you saw Mrs. Cobin arguing with this man,
818
00:34:13,785 --> 00:34:15,594
you didn't actually
hear what was being said, did you?
819
00:34:15,654 --> 00:34:16,826
ELIZABETH: No.
820
00:34:16,888 --> 00:34:18,868
And when she
got back in the car,
821
00:34:18,924 --> 00:34:20,767
she told you the man
and Alan Cobin
822
00:34:20,825 --> 00:34:22,099
had some business
disagreement.
823
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:23,366
Isn't that also true?
824
00:34:23,929 --> 00:34:25,806
That's what she said, yes.
825
00:34:26,331 --> 00:34:28,868
Now, on July 18th
826
00:34:28,934 --> 00:34:32,882
Lorraine Cobin loaned you
$50,000 for your restaurant?
827
00:34:32,938 --> 00:34:34,417
That's right.
828
00:34:34,472 --> 00:34:35,917
Why didn't you
go to the bank?
829
00:34:37,642 --> 00:34:40,452
The bank would not
loan us the money.
830
00:34:40,512 --> 00:34:42,719
Because your husband
had recently declared bankruptcy,
831
00:34:42,781 --> 00:34:44,124
isn't that right?
832
00:34:46,017 --> 00:34:47,087
Yes.
833
00:34:47,252 --> 00:34:50,131
In fact, your husband
has a history of bankruptcies.
834
00:34:50,188 --> 00:34:53,465
One in 1987 and
another in 1994,
835
00:34:53,525 --> 00:34:56,938
which also resulted in
a fraud conviction, correct?
836
00:34:56,995 --> 00:34:58,906
Objection. Relevance.
837
00:34:58,964 --> 00:35:01,501
I'll allow it,
subject to connection.
838
00:35:02,667 --> 00:35:05,807
$50,000.
That's a sizable debt, Mrs. Dumas.
839
00:35:07,005 --> 00:35:09,042
Isn't that why
you're here testifying?
840
00:35:10,575 --> 00:35:12,486
I don't understand.
841
00:35:12,544 --> 00:35:13,921
Didn't your
husband tell you
842
00:35:13,979 --> 00:35:16,118
that if Lorraine Cobin
were convicted of this crime
843
00:35:16,181 --> 00:35:17,990
that debt
would disappear?
844
00:35:18,049 --> 00:35:20,154
Absolutely not.
845
00:35:20,218 --> 00:35:21,993
JACK: Objection.
JUDGE: Sustained.
846
00:35:23,054 --> 00:35:25,728
Have you paid
any of this money back, Mrs. Dumas?
847
00:35:27,259 --> 00:35:28,294
No.
848
00:35:29,127 --> 00:35:30,435
Oh.
849
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:38,205
I was waiting
on the sidewalk for Elizabeth,
850
00:35:38,270 --> 00:35:40,682
when this man came up
and started yelling at me.
851
00:35:40,739 --> 00:35:41,911
Ronald Buck.
852
00:35:42,507 --> 00:35:44,043
I never knew his name.
853
00:35:44,109 --> 00:35:45,645
I'd never
seen him before.
854
00:35:46,645 --> 00:35:48,181
You say he was
yelling at you?
855
00:35:48,246 --> 00:35:49,816
He was saying
something about
856
00:35:49,881 --> 00:35:52,225
him and Alan
having some sort of business arrangement,
857
00:35:52,284 --> 00:35:54,093
and that Alan
owed him money.
858
00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:56,564
I told him that
I didn't know anything about it.
859
00:35:56,621 --> 00:35:59,295
Then, thank God,
Elizabeth drove up, and I just got in the car.
860
00:35:59,357 --> 00:36:01,337
I never saw him again.
861
00:36:03,328 --> 00:36:07,367
Showing you what's
marked as People's Five in evidence.
862
00:36:07,432 --> 00:36:10,743
A work order for
Victory Carpet Cleaners.
863
00:36:10,802 --> 00:36:12,145
Is that your signature?
864
00:36:12,737 --> 00:36:14,614
It looks like it, yes.
865
00:36:14,673 --> 00:36:16,584
AXTELL: Yet you
told the police you were not involved
866
00:36:16,641 --> 00:36:18,780
in the day-to-day
business of your husband's store.
867
00:36:18,844 --> 00:36:19,914
I wasn't.
868
00:36:19,978 --> 00:36:22,219
It was near
the Fourth of July
869
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,817
and Alan was
doing inventory day and night.
870
00:36:24,883 --> 00:36:26,487
He was so tired,
871
00:36:26,551 --> 00:36:28,929
and he asked me
if I would help him out a little.
872
00:36:28,987 --> 00:36:30,967
I guess I just
didn't remember.
873
00:36:31,022 --> 00:36:32,797
AXTELL: Mrs. Cobin,
did you hire Ronald Buck
874
00:36:32,857 --> 00:36:35,963
to murder your husband
in order to inherit his money?
875
00:36:36,461 --> 00:36:37,667
No.
876
00:36:38,330 --> 00:36:40,776
Alan and I had
a wonderful life.
877
00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:43,771
I admit money
was part of it.
878
00:36:44,402 --> 00:36:47,611
We'd grown up poor,
so we both appreciated
879
00:36:47,672 --> 00:36:49,777
the comforts
it afforded us.
880
00:36:49,841 --> 00:36:52,287
But I loved Alan,
881
00:36:52,344 --> 00:36:53,880
not his money.
882
00:36:56,281 --> 00:36:58,818
And I would never
do anything to hurt him.
883
00:36:58,884 --> 00:37:00,056
Never.
884
00:37:01,286 --> 00:37:02,890
Nothing further.
885
00:37:07,559 --> 00:37:09,402
Your love didn't
prevent your husband
886
00:37:09,461 --> 00:37:11,771
from asking you to
sign a pre-nup, did it?
887
00:37:11,830 --> 00:37:14,538
A lot of second
marriages have pre-nuptial agreements.
888
00:37:14,599 --> 00:37:17,136
Only yours limited you
to $100,000 a year.
889
00:37:17,202 --> 00:37:18,977
A far cry from
seven million.
890
00:37:19,037 --> 00:37:20,209
That didn't concern me.
891
00:37:20,271 --> 00:37:21,443
It never concerned you
892
00:37:21,506 --> 00:37:23,315
because you knew
that the death of your husband
893
00:37:23,375 --> 00:37:25,013
would put that money
into your hands.
894
00:37:25,076 --> 00:37:26,248
No.
895
00:37:26,311 --> 00:37:29,849
That's why you had
to act when Ronald Buck threatened you.
896
00:37:29,914 --> 00:37:31,723
You saw that money
slipping away.
897
00:37:32,350 --> 00:37:33,556
That's not true.
898
00:37:35,820 --> 00:37:39,358
Over 150 invoices,
Mrs. Cobin,
899
00:37:39,424 --> 00:37:42,337
and your name appears
on only one of them.
900
00:37:42,394 --> 00:37:44,840
The one that
put Ronald Buck
901
00:37:44,896 --> 00:37:46,898
in your husband's store.
902
00:37:47,999 --> 00:37:49,910
I told you about
that already.
903
00:37:49,968 --> 00:37:51,572
That you forgot.
904
00:37:51,636 --> 00:37:52,740
Yes.
905
00:37:53,238 --> 00:37:56,117
What about the parking stub
found in your car?
906
00:37:56,541 --> 00:37:58,214
I've never been
in that parking lot.
907
00:37:58,276 --> 00:38:00,517
And certainly not the night
of Ronald Buck's murder,
908
00:38:00,578 --> 00:38:03,991
because you were
with your daughter all that night.
909
00:38:04,048 --> 00:38:05,823
Isn't that what
you told the police?
910
00:38:05,884 --> 00:38:06,919
LORRAINE: Yes.
911
00:38:06,985 --> 00:38:08,726
Only that was
a lie, wasn't it?
912
00:38:10,088 --> 00:38:13,001
I was scared.
I... I didn't know what else to do.
913
00:38:13,058 --> 00:38:14,731
And that's what you do
when you don't know what to do,
914
00:38:14,793 --> 00:38:16,067
isn't it, Mrs. Cobin?
You lie.
915
00:38:16,127 --> 00:38:17,162
No.
916
00:38:17,228 --> 00:38:19,674
$7 million in your hand
917
00:38:19,731 --> 00:38:22,234
and only Ronald Buck
standing in your way.
918
00:38:23,902 --> 00:38:25,848
That's not what happened.
919
00:38:25,904 --> 00:38:29,613
The work order,
the parking stub, the alibi,
920
00:38:29,674 --> 00:38:31,312
your argument
with Ronald Buck.
921
00:38:31,376 --> 00:38:34,516
One lie after another,
and all leading to the truth.
922
00:38:35,146 --> 00:38:38,423
That you hired Ronald Buck
to murder your husband,
923
00:38:38,483 --> 00:38:40,463
and then killed him
to cover it up.
924
00:38:41,486 --> 00:38:42,760
I didn't.
925
00:38:45,290 --> 00:38:47,133
All these lies, Mrs. Cobin.
926
00:38:49,327 --> 00:38:51,364
What other reason
could there be?
927
00:39:03,741 --> 00:39:05,345
Nothing further.
928
00:39:06,544 --> 00:39:07,989
JUDGE: Anything,
Mr. Axtell?
929
00:39:14,285 --> 00:39:15,696
Mr. Axtell?
930
00:39:28,500 --> 00:39:29,945
What time did Melissa
leave the house
931
00:39:30,001 --> 00:39:32,072
to go shopping that
night, Mrs. Cobin?
932
00:39:34,606 --> 00:39:38,019
Your Honor, I'm going to ask
that you instruct the witness to answer my question.
933
00:39:38,543 --> 00:39:40,614
You have to answer,
Mrs. Cobin.
934
00:39:44,516 --> 00:39:45,654
Don't do this.
935
00:39:46,251 --> 00:39:48,390
AXTELL: She left
sometime before 8:00, didn't she?
936
00:39:48,453 --> 00:39:50,364
Didn't get back till
just before 12:00.
937
00:39:50,855 --> 00:39:53,893
Objection. ls defense counsel
impeaching his own witness?
938
00:39:53,958 --> 00:39:56,404
AXTELL: The woman's on trial
for her life, Your Honor.
939
00:39:56,461 --> 00:39:58,168
JUDGE: Mrs. Cobin?
940
00:40:00,765 --> 00:40:02,608
Lorraine, what happened
that night?
941
00:40:06,504 --> 00:40:07,812
Don't you see?
942
00:40:09,007 --> 00:40:11,647
I was never there for her
when she was growing up.
943
00:40:13,311 --> 00:40:15,814
I was always too busy
being a wife.
944
00:40:17,115 --> 00:40:18,958
But she needed me.
945
00:40:20,618 --> 00:40:23,224
I just didn't
understand how much.
946
00:40:24,389 --> 00:40:25,993
AXTELL: Melissa
wasn't covering for you, was she?
947
00:40:26,057 --> 00:40:27,593
You were covering for her.
948
00:40:27,992 --> 00:40:30,131
You're still
covering for her.
949
00:40:32,497 --> 00:40:36,775
She came into my room,
and she just stood there.
950
00:40:39,137 --> 00:40:41,913
I asked her what was wrong,
but she wouldn't answer.
951
00:40:43,641 --> 00:40:45,848
She came over to my bed
952
00:40:47,378 --> 00:40:49,585
and she laid down
next to me,
953
00:40:50,415 --> 00:40:52,827
like she used to do
when she was as child,
954
00:40:53,885 --> 00:40:55,728
and I put my arm
around her
955
00:40:57,422 --> 00:40:59,629
and she started to cry.
956
00:41:02,627 --> 00:41:04,402
There was blood.
957
00:41:04,462 --> 00:41:07,409
There were little
specks of blood.
958
00:41:11,636 --> 00:41:14,207
I know what she did was wrong,
959
00:41:15,506 --> 00:41:17,349
but it wasn't her fault.
960
00:41:18,343 --> 00:41:20,619
Do you understand?
961
00:41:21,613 --> 00:41:24,958
Mothers are
supposed to be there for their children.
962
00:41:26,851 --> 00:41:29,388
I'm the one
you're supposed to find guilty.
963
00:41:33,057 --> 00:41:34,331
Please,
964
00:41:35,193 --> 00:41:36,604
just take me.
965
00:41:55,246 --> 00:41:57,920
Madam Foreperson,
has the jury reached a verdict?
966
00:41:58,549 --> 00:42:00,324
We have, Your Honor.
967
00:42:00,818 --> 00:42:02,820
JUDGE:
Will the defendant please rise.
968
00:42:06,157 --> 00:42:07,830
What is your verdict?
969
00:42:07,892 --> 00:42:11,601
We the jury in
the charge of homicide in the first degree
970
00:42:11,663 --> 00:42:13,643
find the defendant
not guilty.
971
00:42:51,970 --> 00:42:54,177
Such a beautiful morning,
and that's how you dress?
972
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,014
What do you
expect me to wear?
973
00:42:56,074 --> 00:42:58,076
I told you,
we're celebrating.
974
00:42:58,142 --> 00:42:59,485
Celebrating what?
975
00:43:00,378 --> 00:43:02,756
Just have
some champagne and stop pouting.
976
00:43:08,853 --> 00:43:10,161
Doesn't that
look scrumptious?
977
00:43:10,221 --> 00:43:12,599
Thank you, Josh.
We'll be ready for lunch in a half hour.
978
00:43:12,657 --> 00:43:13,897
JOSH: Yes, ma'am.
979
00:43:20,031 --> 00:43:21,704
All right,
why the long face?
980
00:43:21,766 --> 00:43:22,972
What's wrong?
981
00:43:23,434 --> 00:43:25,038
"What's wrong?"
982
00:43:26,137 --> 00:43:28,242
How about the fact
that my mother takes the witness stand
983
00:43:28,306 --> 00:43:29,785
and basically
accuses me of murder?
984
00:43:30,575 --> 00:43:32,145
You know if something
would've happened,
985
00:43:32,210 --> 00:43:33,985
I would have protected you.
986
00:43:34,045 --> 00:43:36,150
Mommy would never
have let them put you away.
987
00:43:38,449 --> 00:43:39,928
How could you
have killed him?
988
00:43:40,418 --> 00:43:41,590
The man was a thug.
989
00:43:41,653 --> 00:43:42,757
Every time I turned around,
990
00:43:42,820 --> 00:43:43,958
he was there
with his hand out.
991
00:43:44,021 --> 00:43:46,501
I'm not talking about Buck.
I'm talking about Alan.
992
00:43:47,392 --> 00:43:48,735
And I thought
you loved him.
993
00:43:49,327 --> 00:43:52,171
Sweetheart, you didn't have
to sleep with him.
994
00:43:56,234 --> 00:43:58,475
Let's just drop this
whole subject, okay?
995
00:43:58,870 --> 00:44:01,009
That part of our lives
is over with.
996
00:44:04,609 --> 00:44:06,088
You're wrong.
997
00:44:06,144 --> 00:44:08,249
What are you
talking about?
998
00:44:09,247 --> 00:44:10,817
Look at the dock, Mother.
999
00:44:22,627 --> 00:44:24,265
You little bitch.
1000
00:44:25,797 --> 00:44:27,208
I had a good teacher.
1001
00:44:29,333 --> 00:44:31,313
LORRAINE: This is
such a colossal waste of time.
1002
00:44:31,369 --> 00:44:33,349
Last I checked,
I was acquitted.
1003
00:44:33,404 --> 00:44:35,475
Double jeopardy
prevents me from being tried again.
1004
00:44:35,540 --> 00:44:37,577
You were tried
for the murder of Ronald Buck,
1005
00:44:37,642 --> 00:44:39,315
not your husband.
1006
00:44:39,377 --> 00:44:42,153
Once they hear
that conversation with your daughter,
1007
00:44:42,213 --> 00:44:44,750
I doubt the jury
will buy your act the second time around.
1008
00:44:44,816 --> 00:44:47,228
Careful. Don't want
to hurt that hat.
1009
00:44:52,090 --> 00:44:53,467
I thought
the black widow spiders
1010
00:44:53,524 --> 00:44:54,935
were the only ones
that killed their mates
1011
00:44:54,992 --> 00:44:56,335
and ate their young.
1012
00:44:56,394 --> 00:44:58,169
Apparently not.
