Original subtitles

(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.
