All language subtitles for Law and order S18E12 - Submission

(Male announcer)
In the criminal justice system,

the people are represented

by two separate,
yet equally important groups:

The police,
who investigate crime,

and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

Are you still
gettin' the signal?

Yes.

[Beeping]

From there.

That house?

[Dogs barking]

You hear that?

Oh, my god.

Officer?

Police!

Our dog's in there.

Your dog?

Yeah, he disappeared.

He has a gps collar.

Look at the signal.

He's right in there.

Do you hear that?
If you have a missing dog,

I can give you the number
for animal control.

Hey, frank.

[Knock at door]

Police.

Open the door.

[Door buzzer]

[Latch clicks]

[Dogs barking]

[Men shouting]

Nathan!

Jay, jay, jay.

What the hell are you doing
in my house?

Nobody move.

You're all under arrest.

All right,
somebody control those dogs,

or I'm gonna shoot 'em,
right now, right now.

I got 'em.

27-frank requesting a 10-85

at 825 east 76th street,

regarding multiple arrests.

And notify animal welfare.

Now, this one didn't
survive the fight.

Um, multiple lacerations,
punctured lung.

What about this one?

He doesn't look quite as tough.

Yeah, that's a kidnapped pet.

Used as a bait dog
for the fighting dogs

to tear apart
as warm-up.

Nice.
That's awful, doc.

But why you call us?

We don't do dog homicides.

I know.

I'm doing a full necropsy
on this one,

and so I cut him open
to see what he'd been eating

'cause sometimes the kennel
owners, they starve the dogs--

doc.
Right.

Well, I thought
you might want to see

what I found inside him.

What is that?

A human finger.

Or what's left of it.

That would be your department,
wouldn't it?

E a dog]

(Woman)
Well, dog lovers are
out in force today

as the bow-wow eight
exit after their
r-r-aignments.

(Woman)
Ruff!

[People barking like dogs]

(Woman)
Mark your
territories.

You remember that arraignment
a month ago?

When the guy killed the mother
and the daughter?

No crowds for that one.

But you mess with a dog...

You know, I'm thinking
about getting one.

Right, that's exactly
what you need.

What's that supposed to mean?

(Lupo)
You guys got a minute?

Yeah, not here,
not now.

We just want to see
your fingers.

What?

It's easy.
Like this.

Go ahead.

Okay.

Dawn talley,
channel eight news.

Why did you ask to see
their fingers?

Um, I'm learning
to count to ten.

There it is.

It was in the dog's
large intestine,

but not long enough
for the digestive juices

to completely dissolve
the nail polish.

It was a woman's finger?

Or one of you
metrosexual guys.

A traced of polish
on the nail.

There.

(Lupo)
Red?

Actually, somewhere
between fuchsia and pink.

Appropriate for the age
of the victim,

who was early 30s or younger.

Good nutrition,
no sign of anemia.

You got a name and address?

I don't think
she's still walking around.

This woman was recently dead.

Killed and tossed
to the dogs.

And we're running the dna.

And an analysis of some
stuff in the skin,

it looks like a chemical burn.

So to get
to the large intestine,

how long is the finger
in the dog?

At least four hours,
no more than 18.

By then you'd be scraping it
off the bottom of your shoe.

(Field)
We're in conference here

and we have nothing to say
to the police.

This isn't about the dogfight.

Then what, you want to see
our toes now?

[Men at table snicker]

A human finger was found
inside the dog

that was killed
in your house.

(Vance)
A finger?

Mr. Carlin doesn't own
those dogs.

He didn't feed those dogs.

If anybody saw anything
in the house...

Like what?

This is crazy.

All right.
It's all right, marty.

They were my guests.

I take full responsibility.

But obviously not for this.

How long were the dogs there
before the police arrived?

(Field)
You mean before the police

illegally entered
the premises.

(Green)
Look, I don't know

if you're going to beat
this dogfighting rap.

I don't know,
and I don't care.

(Green)
But right now,
we're searching your house

for other body parts.

Next thing we do is tear down
the walls.

Is that what you want?

(Carlin)
The dogs were there
for two hours.

As far as I know, they ate
before they left home.

Where is that?
Home?

A kennel in ulster county.

Justin cabrera, ulster county
sheriff's detective.

Is this mr. Mackey?

Yeah, he volunteered
to show us where he lives.

He trying to convince us that
his dogs didn't eat anybody.

Yeah, I think
I woulda noticed.

Yeah, you probably fed 'em
somebody yourself.

I understand he put on
a dogfight

for some rich guy
in the city.

Yeah, the rich guy thought

his friends would get
a kick out of it.

(Cabrera)
Oh, yeah?

Endless fun?

This is where mr. Mackey
kept his dogs.

They're all
at the county shelter now.

Hey, my partner wants a dog.

Any up for adoption?

If he wants to get eaten,
sure.

We have our cadets straining
through their droppings.

They've come up with
a nice little pile of bones.

Cat bones,
I'm telling you.

You think somebody got
killed here, you're crazy.

What, that finger
just fell out of the sky?

No, somebody must have
gotten in back here,

tossed it over the fence.

I mean, that gate's got a lock,

but it's not fort knox.

Cat bones?
I thought you raised dogs.

Sometimes I give 'em
a cat to play with.

Like that guy from the city,
carlin, came out with his buddy.

To pick out dogs
for his fight.

He wanted to see
what they could do.

(Cabrera)
I don't know
what you got this guy for,

but he's looking
at a dozen counts

of aggravated cruelty
up here.

He kept these dogs in chains,

living in their own crap,

half of them half-dead.

He's looking at ten years easy.

You think I ran an operation
this size on my own?

That guy, carlin,
has plenty of money.

You're saying carlin's in the
dogfighting business with you?

I'm saying,
make me an offer.

If mr. Carlin was involved
in the business,

we'd love to make an example.

What do you know about him?

(Lupo)
Well, he's a wine
consultant.

If you have too much money, you
want to drop $100,00 on wine,

he'll sell it to you.

Nothing like watching
a couple of dogs

tear each other to pieces

while sipping
a nice chardonnay.

Why haven't you guys
gone to see him again?

To see him
about the dogfighting

or about our possible homicide
here?

We don't have a body.

What is this about?
Is this about public opinion?

I mean, we saw
the whole dog lovers' circus

on the courthouse steps.

What this is about is
appalling cruelty to animals,

rich jerks who think
they can do

whatever they want
for their own amusement.

Just pay a fine
and walk away laughing.

It works for me.

All right, go talk
to mr. Carlin about the dogs,

and if anyone mentions a body,
take notes.

It's you versus mackey,
and he's willing to testify.

That I was his partner?

That's right.
That's ridiculous.

Look, if I did anything--

and he's not saying
he did.

Right, those dogs in here
were a mirage.

Hypothetically, he might have
heard about mackey

from a friend and hired him.

A one-shot deal to set up
an exhibition.

Yeah, you don't believe that,
ask marty vance.

He was up there with me
when I met mackey.

He means, "hypothetically,"
right?

He's your buddy.
He'll back you up.

Then ask his wife.

She heard marty and I talking

when we got back
to the townhouse.

She's still living there while
they're getting the divorce.

She's not gonna tell any lies
for marty or for me.

(Marty)
The fight was stupid,

but it was a one-time thing.

Jay didn't even know
that guy before.

Great, you guys got
your stories straight.

We'd like to ask
your wife too.

My wife?

Yeah, you know, neutral party.
Is she here?

She's visiting her sister
in miami.

Do you have the number?

You really have
to talk to her?

We're kind of in an awkward
situation right now.

(Green)
Yeah, we do.

What's the number?

I actually don't think
she's in miami.

I don't know
where she is.

(Green)
Your friend carlin said

that she still lived here
while you guys got a divorce.

I came home one night
last week.

She was out.

I haven't seen her since.

I figured she went off
with a friend.

Boyfriend.

It's really not my business
anymore.

Uh, which bathroom
does she use?

Bathroom?

Yeah, you know,
hair, makeup.

I assume you guys use
separate bathrooms.

Upstairs.

Mind if we take a look?

No.

Thanks.

(Lupo)
Is that her toothbrush?

I guess.

It looks like she forgot
to take her stuff.

So this is her nail polish?

What do you think?

Red?

Actually, somewhere
between fuchsia and pink.

After his wife's
been gone a week?

Worried sick about her, huh?

The man looks
a little worried now.

And you have no idea
where she is?

I told you,
we weren't talking much.

Why were you both
still living together?

The townhouse is
community property.

My lawyer told me
not to abandon it,

and hers told her
the same thing.

So you were fighting
about the property?

No, we were just...
Nothing.

Look, you really think
that finger's lauren's?

What do you think?

I don't believe it.

I mean, I'm sure she's just...

Just what?

(Rodgers)
We ran the dna from the missing
woman's toothbrush

against the dna of the finger.

Problem was we only
got six loci,

so the results are consistent,
but don't individualize.

So the finger could belong
to lauren vance.

Or 10,000 other people
in the tri-state area.

What about the nail polish?

It definitely matches

the polish in mrs. Vance's
bathroom.

So it's looking good.

Or bad.

The lab also identified
the substance on the skin.

It's chlorine.

Which you usually don't find
inside a dog.

Yeah.

Okay,
we'll be right there.

Mrs. Vance's sister
just flew in from miami.

I hadn't talked to lauren
in a couple of weeks,

but that happens,
I get busy.

I came as soon as I heard.

That son of a bitch.

(Lupo)
You'd be referring
to mr. Vance there?

Lauren wouldn't go away
without telling anybody.

Have you talked
to her friends?

I know some names.

Great, can you give us
a list?

We talked to everybody
we could find.

The last time you talked
to your sister,

did she mention
any new friends?

Boyfriends?

Travel plans?

No, she said
it was raining in new york.

I told her about some shoes
I bought for $300.

Something's happened
to her.

I know it.

What can I do?

If anyone has seen her

or has any information,

please call,

please help.

In case your sister
is watching this, ellen,

do you have a message
for her?

Yes.

Lauren, please,
call me.

Come home.

I love you.

That was ellen chase,

whose sister has been missing
for nearly two weeks

from the townhouse she shared
with her estranged husband,

marty vance.

Mr. Vance talked
to me today

about what is
on everyone's mind.

We were getting the divorce,
but we were still friendly.

Maybe she just needed
to be alone for a while.

I just wish I knew.

(Dawn)
A few hours ago,

mr. Vance offered
a $100,000 reward

for any information leading
to the return of his wife,

but the police are still
treating him like a suspect

as evidenced this afternoon
by the search of the
townhouse

he now occupies alone.

You look good on tv, lupes.

$100,000 reward.

Maybe the husband'll
turn himself in,

make the accounting easy.

You didn't find any blood
in his townhouse, right?

So he strangled her,
or he drowned her,

or he killed her
somewhere else.

Then he dumped the body,

but first he stopped
in ulster county

to throw her hands to a couple
of dogs he saw chew up a cat?

Why?

To delay identification
if the body's found?

This isn't 1952.

I mean, he's heard of dna.

He must have.

You know,
maybe he didn't do it.

He said
the divorce was friendly.

Ha-ha.
Well...

Go talk to her lawyer.

Right.

(Feltzer)
2,200 divorces.

I'm still waiting
for that friendly one.

And how does this one rate?

Husband liked to watch dogs kill
each other--

what does that tell you?

And the rough stuff
was still to come.

What rough stuff?

My client thought her husband
was hiding assets.

He was in some real estate deals
that fell through, supposedly.

A year ago,
there was plenty of money.

And then all of a sudden,
there wasn't so much.

So she was snooping
around his finances.

(Green)
Did her husband know

she was snooping around?
(Feltzer)
I'm not sure.

One of his investments
was in the wine business

with his friend, jay carlin,

the guy who had
the dogfight party.

Lauren told me she was
going to talk to him.

Is this what vance
invested in?

(Carlin)
Some of those old bordeaux
are worth $30,000 a bottle.

Right, and you had dogs
fighting in the next room.

Weren't you worried
about their guts flying up

and smudging your labels?

You said you weren't
here about that.

Do I need to call
my lawyer?

No, I'm just trying
to figure out

what a guy like you
was thinking.

Never occurred to you to take
your friends to a knicks game?

Did you show mrs. Vance
your old bordeaux?

Okay, this whole thing
is ridiculous.

Lauren is probably sitting
on a mountaintop

with a guru in tibet.

Could be.

What'd she say
when she came to see you?

She said she wanted advice
about a wine-tasting class,

but it was obvious
what she was up to.

She wanted to know
about my wine business

and about marty's investment.

Right, and what
did you say?

I said that business
is good.

And what did you tell
her husband?

That she was sniffing
around his money?

Yeah.

Marty's a friend
of mine.

There's your motive.

She wanted every nickel,
and he knew it.

No physical evidence.

No witnesses.

No confession.

How's ulster county doing,
looking for the body?

Well, mackey's kennel's over
the hill from a forest preserve.

100,000 acres.

They said
if we're in a hurry,

we're welcome to come up
and bring our own shovel.

(Cormack)
Hey, lupo,

your favorite story's
back on the news.

It's very difficult.

Police have been talking
to my friends,

i only wish that they would
try that hard

to find lauren.

(Dawn)
Even if they did,

it might be a futile effort.

Channel eight news has learned
exclusively

that lauren vance was being
treated by a psychiatrist

for severe depression

and suicidal tendencies.

You got that?

No, no one told us anything
about her seeing a shrink.

Maybe we should hire her.

(Green)
Her sister didn't know anything
about her seeing a psychiatrist,

so if you have
any information--

look, you saw my report.

You got your information.

We know what you said,
not where it came from.

I don't reveal
a source.

This ain't
a national security case.

No, it's a news story,
my news story,

and it's privileged.

You ever heard about the
new york state press shield law?

Look, I'm on my way to follow
another lead.

You wanna hear about it?

I'm on again at 11:00.

I don't want to wait
until 11:00.

Let's go.

Ajax properties.

(Lupo)
Nice big windows.

Should be able to get a view
from over there.

Are we peeping toms now?

Hey, you're the one
who wanted to follow her.

There's vance.

Records don't show him
owning a loft in soho.

They don't show that
either.

Maybe he's
ajax properties.

His wife said
he had hidden assets.

Hi, it's detective lupo.

I need another search warrant
on vance.

111 greene street,
10th floor. We just--

talk about
hidden assets.

(Lupo)
Yeah, we have probable cause.

(Lupo, knocking)
Open up, police.

Now what?

We have a warrant
to search these premises.

Well, what are
you looking for?

Hey.

How's your story going?

It's not what you think.

Yeah, I can't wait
to hear about it.

Hey, ed.

Chlorine.

The chemical burn.

Get everybody to step out.

This could be a crime scene.

S?

It's a news story.

I think this is yours.

(Vance)
I don't know anything
about chlorine.

I don't live here.

So what are you doing here?

Besides giving
an in-depth interview.

(Rubirosa)
We'll do the research,
mr. Vance.

If you own the company
that owns this place,

it'll turn up.

Is that what your wife did?

No.

She found out

you own this place,

and you forgot to put it
on your list of marital assets?

Did she follow you here?

Catch you in that hot tub?

I work
in real estate.

I'm on the committee
to beautify new york.

I do not kill my wife
over a divorce.

(Stocker)
What's going on here?

I'm just asking your client
a couple of questions.

He has nothing else
to say.

Is he under arrest?

No.

Good-bye.

Vance does own
that loft,

and he was hiding it
from his wife.

Did the police find anything
there besides the chlorine?

No blood,
no tissue.

This guy lied
to the
police,

he lied to his wife.

He had motive.

He knew where
to find those dogs.

His wife went for a walk
two weeks ago,

never came back,

and he never thought
to mention it to anybody?

What about the report
that she was suicidal?

There's no evidence

of suicide attempts
or even seeing a shrink.

Her sister says it's a lie.

It came from the reporter
who was consoling our suspect

without her top on.

She put that story out to make
people think her new boyfriend

was innocent.

Why bother?

All she had to do
was nothing.

The cops weren't laying
a hand on him.

Maybe she was worried
because she knew he was guilty.

I mean, she knew something.

Of course, she's not talking
to us.

Convene a grand jury.

Make her.

(Cutter)
And what was the source

for your story
about mrs. Vance's

supposed psychiatric problems?

My sources
are confidential.

I don't have
to reveal them.

Well, a judge says
that you do,

and this is not the place
to re-raise that issue.

(Cutter)
It's all right.

It might be useful for
the grand jury to understand

the context of this testimony.

There shouldn't be
any testimony.

New york has
a press shield law.

Which protects
information obtained

in the course of gathering news
for publication.

Not during half-naked
hot tub parties.

It's not up to a judge
or you to tell me

how to practice my profession.

What profession
are we talking about here?

Thank you.

It's always so nice
to be called a whore.

I don't know about you,

but I think
the truth is important,

so I'll do what I have to do,

use what I have to use,

including, sometimes,
my sexuality.

Let me ask you,
mr. Cutter,

how far will you go
to convict a murderer?

Well, that's how far I'd go
to get a story.

We're still waiting
for an answer to the question

about the source for your story

about mrs. Vance's alleged
psychiatric problems.

It was mr. Vance.

Did you check it out?

Get corroboration?

No.

What happened
to your pursuit of the truth?

I was after the truth.

I thought the police were
taking the easy way out.

A wife was missing,
so suspect the husband.

I wanted to spend time
with him,

hear more about her
from him.

Maybe I'd learn
the real story.

Maybe I'd even identify
the killer.

And if the killer was mr. Vance?

Then I'd get the confession,
and it would be my scoop.

(Cutter)
So you put out a false story

so you wouldn't be scooped by
the police arresting a
murderer.

Hmm, got a little carried away.

(Cutter)
Well, why did you
get carried away then?

What made you concerned

that the police were
about to arrest mr. Vance?

Well, I found a google map
in his trash.

It showed that kennel
in ulster county,

and a wooded area nearby

that was highlighted.

I asked mr. Vance about it.

He said he had taken a drive
near there

around the time
of his wife's disappearance

just to relax.

He was worried that someone
might have seen him

and then recognized his face
on the news.

What wooded area?

Some of them will
have to be destroyed.

Yeah, but not all of them,
right?

You don't want one
of those dogs, believe me.

You want a dog?

I'm thinking about it.

He's lonely.

(Rubirosa)
I always had a dog
growing up,

but you know,
now in the city--

(man on radio)
Detective cabrera,
we found something.

We'll be right there.

Check the hands.

No hands.

(Vance)
Not guilty.

This whole thing
is crazy.

Can I make
a statement?

You just did.

Bail's $500,000.

[Pounding gavel]
Next.

You're making
a mistake.

We're going to get you
out of this, marty.

I believe him.

You always believe them.

No, I don't.

The police still
haven't found anyone

who saw vance in those woods.

There's no credit cards
at area gas stations,

no hits on his e-z pass,

and no trace of the google map
in his computer history.

So now it's all up
to our witness

and her story about the map.

Her story is supported
by the fact

that we did find the body there.

What about the rest of it,
mike?

What do you mean?

Do you buy it?

The pulitzer hooker?

Would you sleep with a witness
to convict a murderer?

I might go on a date.

How's her record
as a journalist?

It's pretty good, actually.

She did an expose
on shoddy subway repairs

and a series on price-fixing
in the wine business.

Any mention in that one
of jay carlin,

our dogfighting wine-dealer?

No.

But she did rely
on an unnamed source.

It could have been carlin.

If it was, we probably know

how she wormed the
information out of him.

And a year later,
they both become

our two star witnesses
against vance.

What a coincidence.

Isn't it.

What?

Vance and carlin.

Now, they both knew
where those dogs lived.

They went up there together.

And they both saw them
rip up a cat.

Now mrs. Vance was investigating
the finances.

Yeah, but she was investigating
her husband's finances.

But he was invested

in carlin's wine business,

so she was also asking
about that.

Everything that we have
that points to vance

points just as well
to carlin.

Not the chlorine.

Vance had the chlorine
next to his hot tub.

Any connection
between chlorine and wine?

Okay, liquid chlorine used
to be used to wash corks

before they were put
into the bottles.

All right, carlin deals
in old wine,

but he doesn't bottle
the stuff.

Does he?

When you said
you were bringing breakfast,

i was thinking more along
the lines of orange juice.

Just give it a try,
mr. Mccoy.

Mr. Parsons is a wine chemist
from the culinary institute.

He's been kind enough
to help us at short notice.

(Parson)
Do you taste the vanilla?

The hint of persimmon?

I'm not sure.

But also a little sucking-in

of your cheeks?

An overbalance of tannin
in the structure.

That's a $2,000 bottle
of chateau la rochelle, 1949,

sold to a wine dealer
by jay carlin.

Tell me you didn't put this
on your expense account.

I did.

But we'll get it back
when we convict carlin of fraud.

(Parsons)
It's not bad, mr. Mccoy.

It may even be a la rochelle,
but it's recent.

Probably an $80 bottle.

Jay carlin sells
counterfeit wine.

(Parsons)
It's a plague
on the market.

People have money,
buy expensive bottles

to impress their friends.

They have no idea
how it's supposed to taste.

The perfect crime.

The victims don't even know
they've been had.

(Rubirosa)
Carlin gets the empty bottles

from restaurants or collectors,
refills them with cheaper wine,

and then all he has to do is
replace the cork.

Which requires chlorine.

(Parsons)
Vintners used to prepare
their corks in chlorine

and oxalic acid.

If you want to fake an old cork,
you've got to do the same thing.

Thank you,
mr. Parsons.

Good-bye.

So...

What if mrs. Vance stumbled
on carlin filling old bottles,

she threatened to expose him,

so he strangled her,
but in the struggle

her hands got into the chlorine-
acid solution?

Wait a minute,
you're talking about the murder?

You're saying you just arraigned
the wrong man?

I don't know.

(Mccoy)
You're supposed to know.

You're due in court
in 45 minutes.

Tter.

I beg the court's indulgence,

but assistant district attorney
wheeler has a medical emergency.

And I need to stand up for him
in a critical motion hearing

on an a-1 felony.

(Hafner)
Will you be ready

by this afternoon?

Tomorrow morning
would be better.

We've got potential jurors
waiting in the next room.

Miss stocker, usually
the defense welcomes
any delay.

Fine.

Tomorrow will be swell.

I'll go see green and lupo.

Tell 'em to take all the time
they need.

As long as they have something
by this afternoon.

Where are you going?

Motion hearing, remember?

What's so critical?

To disqualify
a juror

whose uncle used to date
the defendant's mother.

Hey, you sure
this is kosher?

We got a search warrant
for body parts, so--

yeah, so, look
for body parts.

Let's start
with carlin's date book.

There's no fingers
in between the pages.

(Rubirosa)
Is that a 'd' that weekend
last month?

Yeah, it is.

There's lots of 'd's
on the weekends.

"D, southampton...
D, st. bart's."

D for dawn?

I got another d.
On video.

(Dawn on video)
Pretty yummy.

(Carlin on video)
You talking about me
or you talking about the wine?

[Carlin laughs]

Well, if you come over here,
maybe I'll show you again.

[Carlin growls]

(Dawn)
I think, maybe,
it's time for us

to move in together.

Oh, god.

That'd be great.

Real soon.

You always say that.

Soon, babycakes.

Soon.

The part of the tape
that comes before that,

you're not old enough
to see.

So they're an item?

A very acrobatic item.

But is it love?

Enough for her to help him
frame his friend for murder?

She played me, jack.

I fell for her zeal in pursuit
of truth and justice.

That sounds like you.

She probably knew that.

She did her homework.

No one ever said
she was a lousy reporter.

You're not the first d.a.
who's ever been played.

You?

Back when I was young enough.

[Door opens]

We have proof
carlin's wines are fake.

Was that the persimmon
I didn't taste?

No, the nuclear chemistry lab
at columbia

found cesium-137 in a bottle
of carlin's 1933 bordeaux.

While cesium-137
wasn't introduced

into the atmosphere until
nuclear testing in the 1950s.

So you've nailed the guy
for fraud

and bouncing around a bedroom
with a reporter.

Did you happen to find anything
linking him to the murder?

So it's still a theory.

A hunch.

It makes sense.

So does the case against vance,
which contains actual evidence.

Can you dig up anything solid
against carlin?

If we keep looking, vance's
lawyer will hear about it,

and she'll beat us to death
with it

if we continue against vance.

Against vance?

If we don't find
anything against carlin.

You're making me dizzy.

Decide whom you want
to prosecute.

Uh, I don't understand
what I'm doing here.

It's routine,
mr. Carlin.

We just need to prep
your testimony

against mr. Vance.

I'm not really comfortable
about this.

Marty's a friend.

We need you
to establish his motive.

Lauren vance told you she was
looking for his hidden assets.

Not in so many words.

(Cutter)
You told the police

her meaning was clear.

You also told mr. Vance.

That's how he knew.

I can't believe
that marty killed anybody.

Do you really need
my testimony?

Yes.

We believe he killed his wife,

but he was lucky
or clever or both.

(Rubirosa)
We don't have much evidence.

And there are holes
we can't fill.

Like when he went
to the kennel with her hands,

he had to open
a locked gate.

Now, he must have got
the combination

when he went up there
with you,

but we can't prove that.

All right,
all right, look.

If I help you on this,

can you cut me some slack
on the dogfighting thing?

It's turning out
to be kind of a big deal.

(Cutter)
You wanna swap

for testifying
against your friend?

Look, this is the real world.

I accept reality.

We'll take your cooperation
into consideration.

All right, when marty and I
went up to the kennel,

the lock was sticking.

The dog guy, mackey,
couldn't get it open.

Marty helped him.

So he could have seen
the combination.

That's what we're heresy witness
to talk about.R yo

look, I'm really sorry.

I'm not sure
that helps.

First, I tried
to protect marty,

then I helped
get him arrested.

So am I lying now
or was I lying then?

That's what his lawyer's
gonna ask me, isn't it?

Yeah, something like that.

Right around the time
you mention that map you saw.

If I could just explain...

Everything was aimed
at getting a story.

It's my job.

You'd understand.

Yeah.

I'm not sure the jury will be
made up of high achievers.

It's been a long day.

Trial prep.

You join me?

Sure.

Mr. Carlin was here earlier.

He sent over a bottle

from his cellar.

[Sniffs]
Mm.

You taste the vanilla?

Hey, mike,
you got a minute?

Yeah, sure.

It's mackey.

He says he found
some footprints

that might belong to whoever
tossed in the hands.

(Cutter)
You're kidding.
Next to his dog pen?

(Rubirosa)
Yeah, he says
he just found 'em,

that they might be
connected to the murder.

Why should we trust him now?

I'm not so sure
we should.

(Cutter)
Ah, just file a report,
and we'll deal with it later.

Isn't that the guy
with the dogs?

Yeah, he's been begging
for a deal since day one.

Still at it.

Yeah.

Yeah, I did some research
when I covered that story.

And I got to tell you, those
fighting dogs are different.

You know,
when two normal dogs meet,

even two wolves,

one is aggressive
and one rolls over,

and that's the end of it.

Submission signal.

The first one is dominant.

It stops.

Fight over.

But with these fighting
dogs, they don't stop.

They keep attacking.

Yeah, well,
I really don't have time

for that guy right now.

Mm, what kind of deal
does he want?

You've got him nailed,
don't you?

Absolutely.

All of a sudden he says
he's discovered footprints

next to his dog pen.

Maybe from the guy
who tossed in the hands.

After all this time?

He says the cadets
who were sorting

through the dog crap put boards
down to protect their shoes.

It covered the prints.

It's probably
his own damn footprint.

What are you gonna do?

Finish prepping my trial

and go to bed.

I'll call ulster county
in the morning.

Let them deal with it.

(Dawn)
Don't forget to rake.

(Carlin)
Don't worry.

I'll get everything
when we leave.

(Carlin)
Now, where the hell are these
footprints supposed to be?

He didn't tell me.
Where you were standing?

I don't know.
I was in kind of a hurry.

Maybe over, uh--

(cabrera)
Uh-oh.

I think somebody
just stepped in something.

You're under arrest.

For trespassing.

Yeah, could we go now?

It's a damn misdemeanor.
I'll pay the fine.

(Cutter)
Hey, I hear you two got
in some kind of trouble,

our two star witnesses.

It's nothing.

I don't know
what he told you.

He said
you were sneaking

around mackey's kennel.

You didn't tell him
about the footprints, did you?

(Cutter)
By the way,

there weren't any.

I'm calling
my lawyer.

(Cabrera)
Great, we can all watch a movie

till he gets here.

Hmm. How about...

This one?

I got my own.

(Dawn on video)
Don't forget to rake.

(Carlin on video)
Don't worry.

I'll get everything
when we leave.

Well, what do you know?

Looks like it was you
who knew the combination

to that lock.

(Dawn on tape)
He didn't tell me.
Where were you standing?

(Carlin)
I don't know.
I was in kind of a hurry.

(Cutter)
Where were you standing
when, mr. Carlin?

You were in a kind
of a hurry to do what?

(Dawn)
Mike?

He just asked me
to go for a drive.

He said he'd get me
a story.

Yeah, we saw the tape...
Babycakes.

(Cutter)
Oh, I know that was just
you practicing journalism.

By the way, mr. Carlin,

you might want
to mention to your lawyer

that we're confiscating

the contents of
your wine cellar.

His wine?

(Rubirosa)
It's counterfeit.

New wine in old bottles.

(Cutter)
That's why he killed
lauren vance.

Because she found out
he was a fraud.

He didn't tell you?

The wine is fake?

Please don't say anything.

We're seizing his house too,

proceeds of a corrupt
enterprise.

If you were planning
on marrying him,

looks like you're gonna have
to pay for the reception,

but not for at least 25 years.

Detective, would you please
place mr. Carlin

under arrest for murder?

What about her?

I can help you.

Oh.

Like you helped me
at the grand jury?

Like you helped
marty vance?

I can really help you.

He told me to get close
to marty.

Don't be an idiot.

I saw the map
at his house.

(Carlin)
They're gonna get you too.

I didn't kill anybody.

I'll tell you
whatever you want to know.

I guess that would be
the submission signal.

But I'm not like
the other dogs.

I don't stop.

Perjury and hindering
prosecution for starters.

[Dawn sobbing]

(Hafner)
You're dropping the charge?

We are,
your honor.

The people now believe
that mr. Vance is innocent

of involvement in the murder
of his wife.

(Cutter)
Another person has
been charged

with the crime.

In fact, we have
a motion hearing scheduled.

I love it
when the system works.

Mr. Vance, you're free to go.

(Hafner)
And I'm sure you have
mr. Cutter's

profoundest apologies.

Does he?

Yes.

You know, if she wasn't
such a lying slut

and a disgrace
to her profession,

and, you know,
an accessory to murder,

you two might have really
hit it off.

Could we please do this
another time?

Sure.

What kind of dog
did you say you were?

Good boy.

Good boy.

Let's go home.

Come on.
