Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,265 --> 00:00:06,309
In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:06,310 --> 00:00:07,658
the people are represented
3
00:00:07,659 --> 00:00:10,139
by two separate, yet equally important groups:
4
00:00:10,140 --> 00:00:11,967
the police, who investigate crime,
5
00:00:11,968 --> 00:00:14,883
and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:14,884 --> 00:00:16,581
These are their stories.
7
00:01:25,694 --> 00:01:27,086
Vic is Charles Harper.
8
00:01:27,087 --> 00:01:28,217
This is his place.
9
00:01:28,218 --> 00:01:29,827
His daughter called it in.
10
00:01:29,828 --> 00:01:31,960
She came over to check on him and found the body.
11
00:01:31,961 --> 00:01:33,222
Cause of death, single gunshot
12
00:01:33,223 --> 00:01:35,398
to the back of the head.
13
00:01:35,399 --> 00:01:38,401
Execution style, all right.
14
00:01:38,402 --> 00:01:39,924
Based on body temp, I'd say it happened
15
00:01:39,925 --> 00:01:41,752
sometime late last night.
16
00:01:41,753 --> 00:01:44,146
Somebody turned the place over pretty good, huh?
17
00:01:44,147 --> 00:01:45,930
Same story in the bedrooms and living room.
18
00:01:45,931 --> 00:01:48,716
Yeah, clocked that broken window downstairs too.
19
00:01:48,717 --> 00:01:51,414
All right, so we're looking at a possible B&E.
20
00:01:51,415 --> 00:01:53,416
Downside of being rich, I guess.
21
00:01:53,417 --> 00:01:55,766
Vic was the guy behind Inherit-Ed.
22
00:01:55,767 --> 00:01:58,508
You know, the company that tests your DNA?
23
00:01:58,509 --> 00:02:01,164
That's how I found out I'm part American Indian.
24
00:02:03,166 --> 00:02:04,601
Like 1/64.
25
00:02:04,602 --> 00:02:06,168
I'm not saying I identify. I'm just--
26
00:02:06,169 --> 00:02:07,517
I don't know if I can do that, man.
27
00:02:07,518 --> 00:02:09,345
The idea of giving away all my biological data
28
00:02:09,346 --> 00:02:13,307
to some random company? No thanks.
29
00:02:14,830 --> 00:02:16,526
Doesn't look like he put up much of a fight.
30
00:02:16,527 --> 00:02:17,745
If he was wearing those,
31
00:02:17,746 --> 00:02:19,921
good chance he didn't hear it coming.
32
00:02:19,922 --> 00:02:23,491
Handel, classical music guy.
33
00:02:24,666 --> 00:02:26,971
Well, at least he died peacefully.
34
00:03:17,849 --> 00:03:21,983
I tried to call him this morning a bunch of times,
35
00:03:21,984 --> 00:03:23,898
and when he didn't pick up,
36
00:03:23,899 --> 00:03:26,509
I just felt that something was wrong.
37
00:03:26,510 --> 00:03:29,295
Did your father live alone?
38
00:03:29,296 --> 00:03:31,340
No. He's married.
39
00:03:31,341 --> 00:03:35,344
His wife is out of town.
40
00:03:35,345 --> 00:03:36,867
I don't call her my stepmother.
41
00:03:36,868 --> 00:03:38,652
They've only been married for a year,
42
00:03:38,653 --> 00:03:40,523
and she's younger than I am.
43
00:03:40,524 --> 00:03:42,221
I knew he was alone this weekend,
44
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:45,615
and so I just stopped by to check on him.
45
00:03:45,616 --> 00:03:47,835
Do you know of anyone who would want to hurt your father?
46
00:03:47,836 --> 00:03:49,489
Ma'am, there might be a chance that this is
47
00:03:49,490 --> 00:03:51,055
a burglary gone bad,
48
00:03:51,056 --> 00:03:52,579
so we're gonna need your help determining
49
00:03:52,580 --> 00:03:54,798
if anything is missing.
50
00:03:54,799 --> 00:03:55,930
Of course.
51
00:03:55,931 --> 00:03:58,193
Detectives.
52
00:03:58,194 --> 00:03:59,455
Excuse us.
53
00:03:59,456 --> 00:04:01,414
This is Delores Sung.
54
00:04:01,415 --> 00:04:02,632
She lives next door, thinks she might have
55
00:04:02,633 --> 00:04:04,460
seen something last night.
56
00:04:04,461 --> 00:04:06,506
It was around 11:30.
57
00:04:06,507 --> 00:04:08,247
I heard a loud bang.
58
00:04:08,248 --> 00:04:11,598
I didn't know if it was a gunshot or a firecracker.
59
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:13,469
I looked out the window, and I saw someone running
60
00:04:13,470 --> 00:04:16,385
down the street that way.
61
00:04:16,386 --> 00:04:18,082
Can you describe this person?
62
00:04:18,083 --> 00:04:20,259
It was pretty dark.
63
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:21,608
Just tell us what you can.
64
00:04:21,609 --> 00:04:24,175
Were they tall, short, male, female?
65
00:04:24,176 --> 00:04:26,047
I couldn't really say.
66
00:04:26,048 --> 00:04:28,267
But they were wearing a dark gray sweatshirt
67
00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:30,225
with a logo on the back,
68
00:04:30,226 --> 00:04:32,923
a big Y with a heart in the middle.
69
00:04:32,924 --> 00:04:35,797
I think I know the brand you're talking about.
70
00:04:38,016 --> 00:04:39,103
That it?
71
00:04:39,104 --> 00:04:40,757
Yeah, that's it.
72
00:04:40,758 --> 00:04:43,544
Whoever it was, they were running like hell.
73
00:04:44,936 --> 00:04:46,546
A handful of valuable items are missing
74
00:04:46,547 --> 00:04:49,026
from the brownstone, including a diamond wedding ring
75
00:04:49,027 --> 00:04:52,465
that belonged to Harper's first wife, now deceased.
76
00:04:52,466 --> 00:04:54,380
According to his daughter, he always kept it
77
00:04:54,381 --> 00:04:57,252
on the nightstand. - Credit card, wallet?
78
00:04:57,253 --> 00:04:58,906
Also missing.
79
00:04:58,907 --> 00:05:01,038
We're monitoring them for any activity.
80
00:05:01,039 --> 00:05:03,214
And unfortunately, Harper's security system
81
00:05:03,215 --> 00:05:04,955
was not set up yet.
82
00:05:04,956 --> 00:05:07,567
And so far, we haven't found any useful street cam footage.
83
00:05:07,568 --> 00:05:09,308
Any other break-ins reported in the area?
84
00:05:09,309 --> 00:05:10,787
Nada, but strangely enough,
85
00:05:10,788 --> 00:05:12,311
the killer did leave some pretty obvious
86
00:05:12,312 --> 00:05:13,964
low-hanging fruit.
87
00:05:13,965 --> 00:05:16,663
Current wife's jewelry box was just sitting there untouched
88
00:05:16,664 --> 00:05:19,970
on top of the bedroom dresser. - Look at this.
89
00:05:19,971 --> 00:05:23,496
That's the floor in front of the window the killer
90
00:05:23,497 --> 00:05:25,454
supposedly came through.
91
00:05:25,455 --> 00:05:27,064
Covered in glass, which makes sense.
92
00:05:27,065 --> 00:05:28,805
But if someone actually crawled through that window,
93
00:05:28,806 --> 00:05:30,416
they would have stepped on those shards
94
00:05:30,417 --> 00:05:32,331
and just broken them into smaller pieces.
95
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:35,464
It looks staged,
96
00:05:35,465 --> 00:05:36,813
like they wanted us
97
00:05:36,814 --> 00:05:38,815
to think it was a random robbery.
98
00:05:38,816 --> 00:05:42,385
It could be someone who had access to the brownstone.
99
00:05:44,648 --> 00:05:46,736
This is a nightmare.
100
00:05:46,737 --> 00:05:50,479
I just still can't believe that--
101
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,264
When was the last time you spoke to him?
102
00:05:53,265 --> 00:05:55,441
Last night, around 8:00 maybe.
103
00:05:55,442 --> 00:05:56,833
Everything seemed fine.
104
00:05:56,834 --> 00:05:58,531
How long were you at the yoga retreat?
105
00:05:58,532 --> 00:06:00,359
Just a few days.
106
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,404
You can check the GPS in my car
107
00:06:02,405 --> 00:06:06,016
or just look in my phone.
108
00:06:06,017 --> 00:06:08,671
I took a lot of photos.
109
00:06:08,672 --> 00:06:11,152
I know why you're really here.
110
00:06:11,153 --> 00:06:13,023
I've been through this before.
111
00:06:13,024 --> 00:06:15,374
Referring to your first husband.
112
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:17,463
I'll save you time.
113
00:06:17,464 --> 00:06:22,511
I didn't marry him or Charles for money.
114
00:06:22,512 --> 00:06:24,687
I'm richer than both of them combined,
115
00:06:24,688 --> 00:06:27,864
and I-I don't profit from his death.
116
00:06:27,865 --> 00:06:30,432
I mean, I literally don't inherit one nickel.
117
00:06:30,433 --> 00:06:32,608
He was leaving everything he had to Victoria
118
00:06:32,609 --> 00:06:36,483
and Sean, his two kids.
119
00:06:38,267 --> 00:06:39,615
What is it?
120
00:06:39,616 --> 00:06:41,182
No, I'm sure it's nothing.
121
00:06:41,183 --> 00:06:43,664
No, I can't believe that.
122
00:06:46,623 --> 00:06:50,365
A few days ago, Sean and Charles
123
00:06:50,366 --> 00:06:52,889
got into a big fight.
124
00:06:52,890 --> 00:06:58,634
Sean was pissed about how much Charles was spending.
125
00:06:58,635 --> 00:07:02,551
He accused him of blowing through his inheritance.
126
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:09,645
Can I help you?
127
00:07:09,646 --> 00:07:11,560
Detectives Shaw and Riley.
128
00:07:11,561 --> 00:07:14,389
We're looking for Sean Harper.
129
00:07:14,390 --> 00:07:15,564
I'm his girlfriend.
130
00:07:15,565 --> 00:07:17,436
He left about 15 minutes ago.
131
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:19,742
What's going on?
132
00:07:19,743 --> 00:07:21,744
When's he coming back?
133
00:07:21,745 --> 00:07:23,311
I don't know. He left in a hurry.
134
00:07:23,312 --> 00:07:24,573
What do you mean?
135
00:07:24,574 --> 00:07:25,531
He said he had to get out of town.
136
00:07:25,532 --> 00:07:27,446
He packed a bag.
137
00:07:27,447 --> 00:07:28,925
Any idea where he's going?
138
00:07:28,926 --> 00:07:30,579
No, but he was taking the train.
139
00:07:30,580 --> 00:07:32,102
Said he was headed to Grand Central.
140
00:07:32,103 --> 00:07:34,453
Thank you.
141
00:07:39,763 --> 00:07:43,331
OK, all right. Thanks, Lieu.
142
00:07:43,332 --> 00:07:45,202
Sean Harper bought a ticket to Greenwich, Connecticut
143
00:07:45,203 --> 00:07:46,900
21 minutes ago, which means we're looking
144
00:07:46,901 --> 00:07:50,120
for Metro North to Stamford.
145
00:07:53,081 --> 00:07:55,648
Track 19.
146
00:08:28,333 --> 00:08:29,944
Sean Harper.
147
00:08:32,033 --> 00:08:33,642
Do not move.
148
00:08:33,643 --> 00:08:35,252
Police. Hey!
149
00:08:41,695 --> 00:08:44,523
Where are you running off to, Sean?
150
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:46,176
You guys are police?
151
00:08:46,177 --> 00:08:47,874
Homicide.
152
00:08:47,875 --> 00:08:49,964
Let's go have a little chat. - Come on.
153
00:08:53,445 --> 00:08:55,969
We know you fought with your father over his spending,
154
00:08:55,970 --> 00:08:57,710
and now he's dead, and you're on the run.
155
00:08:57,711 --> 00:08:59,015
You see how that looks?
156
00:08:59,016 --> 00:09:00,843
I would never hurt my father. I love him.
157
00:09:00,844 --> 00:09:02,105
As much as you love his money?
158
00:09:02,106 --> 00:09:04,630
I didn't kill him.
159
00:09:04,631 --> 00:09:07,807
But I--
160
00:09:07,808 --> 00:09:09,460
I know who did.
161
00:09:09,461 --> 00:09:10,723
Well, if you know who did it,
162
00:09:10,724 --> 00:09:12,028
you should be running towards the police,
163
00:09:12,029 --> 00:09:13,073
not away from them.
164
00:09:13,074 --> 00:09:14,030
I didn't know they were police.
165
00:09:14,031 --> 00:09:15,858
I thought they were--
166
00:09:15,859 --> 00:09:18,948
OK, I borrowed some money.
167
00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:21,342
I was trying to get my business off the ground.
168
00:09:21,343 --> 00:09:24,475
I built this app, and I couldn't raise any capital.
169
00:09:24,476 --> 00:09:26,652
I asked my dad. He said no.
170
00:09:26,653 --> 00:09:29,916
And so this friend set me up with this investor guy,
171
00:09:29,917 --> 00:09:32,614
this Anthony Niducci.
172
00:09:32,615 --> 00:09:34,703
Anyway, the business didn't work out.
173
00:09:34,704 --> 00:09:37,576
Niducci says he wants his money back plus interest.
174
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:41,797
I tell him I don't have it, and he threatens to...
175
00:09:41,798 --> 00:09:43,930
kill me.
176
00:09:43,931 --> 00:09:46,585
Yeah, but you're alive,
177
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:48,630
and your father's dead. So?
178
00:09:48,631 --> 00:09:51,024
Yeah, I told my dad about Niducci.
179
00:09:51,025 --> 00:09:52,895
I was hoping he'd just give me the money to pay him back,
180
00:09:52,896 --> 00:09:54,288
but he wouldn't.
181
00:09:54,289 --> 00:09:56,638
He insisted on meeting with the guy.
182
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:58,988
He was convinced he could work something out.
183
00:09:58,989 --> 00:10:01,601
And then now he's--
184
00:10:05,866 --> 00:10:07,781
You think you're next?
185
00:10:09,304 --> 00:10:10,826
That's why I was trying to get out of town
186
00:10:10,827 --> 00:10:13,568
Where were you last night around 11:30?
187
00:10:13,569 --> 00:10:16,397
At home in bed with my girlfriend.
188
00:10:16,398 --> 00:10:19,487
In fact, I have a photo on my phone.
189
00:10:19,488 --> 00:10:21,054
I sent it to a friend of ours.
190
00:10:21,055 --> 00:10:22,577
We were wearing matching pajamas.
191
00:10:22,578 --> 00:10:24,884
The friend I sent it to, he owns a clothing line and--
192
00:10:24,885 --> 00:10:27,496
yeah, there. See?
193
00:10:29,106 --> 00:10:31,108
Cute. OK.
194
00:10:32,719 --> 00:10:36,331
Let's talk more about this guy Niducci.
195
00:10:38,725 --> 00:10:40,247
Sorry to hear that Harper's dead.
196
00:10:40,248 --> 00:10:41,901
Seemed like a good guy.
197
00:10:41,902 --> 00:10:43,511
Loved the hell out of his kid, even though he's an idiot.
198
00:10:43,512 --> 00:10:45,034
But I had nothing to do with it.
199
00:10:45,035 --> 00:10:46,427
I don't kill people.
200
00:10:46,428 --> 00:10:47,994
Sean Harper said you threatened him.
201
00:10:47,995 --> 00:10:49,169
With legal action.
202
00:10:49,170 --> 00:10:50,997
Like I said, an idiot.
203
00:10:50,998 --> 00:10:53,652
Frankly, you coming here and insinuating that I'm--
204
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:56,698
I don't know--in the mafia or something is racist.
205
00:10:56,699 --> 00:10:58,221
Dude, you're the one out here doing the whole
206
00:10:58,222 --> 00:10:59,745
"Goodfellas" cosplay thing.
207
00:10:59,746 --> 00:11:02,748
Hey, my grandfather opened this bar in 1974.
208
00:11:02,749 --> 00:11:05,141
My dad ran it before me. I'm not playing at anything.
209
00:11:05,142 --> 00:11:06,708
OK, all right, calm down.
210
00:11:06,709 --> 00:11:09,189
Now, where were you two nights ago at 11:30 p.m.?
211
00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:11,234
I was here. We got security cameras.
212
00:11:11,235 --> 00:11:13,323
They'll show I was here all night.
213
00:11:13,324 --> 00:11:15,891
Listen, I had no reason to want the guy dead.
214
00:11:15,892 --> 00:11:17,197
We resolved our issue.
215
00:11:17,198 --> 00:11:18,720
We had a productive conversation,
216
00:11:18,721 --> 00:11:20,548
and he texted me later that night promising
217
00:11:20,549 --> 00:11:22,332
that Sean would pay me back soon.
218
00:11:22,333 --> 00:11:24,247
You'd know this if you just checked his phone.
219
00:11:24,248 --> 00:11:25,901
We did.
220
00:11:25,902 --> 00:11:27,642
We didn't see the text you're talking about though.
221
00:11:27,643 --> 00:11:31,342
Maybe he deleted them, but I'm telling the truth.
222
00:11:34,345 --> 00:11:35,824
Security footage shows
223
00:11:35,825 --> 00:11:37,783
Niducci was at the bar until closing.
224
00:11:37,784 --> 00:11:40,133
OK, so he didn't pull the trigger himself.
225
00:11:40,134 --> 00:11:43,136
Is it possible that he hired somebody else to do it?
226
00:11:43,137 --> 00:11:44,659
That wasn't the vibes.
227
00:11:44,660 --> 00:11:46,052
I mean, he's just a local bar owner pretending
228
00:11:46,053 --> 00:11:47,618
to be a venture capitalist.
229
00:11:47,619 --> 00:11:49,055
Not the kind of guy who's gonna have
230
00:11:49,056 --> 00:11:50,709
somebody whacked, you know.
231
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:52,493
It seems like he was telling the truth about the texts too.
232
00:11:52,494 --> 00:11:54,277
Harper deleted them, but TARU was able
233
00:11:54,278 --> 00:11:55,539
to pull 'em out of the cloud.
234
00:11:55,540 --> 00:11:56,671
I mean, it seems like everything was cool
235
00:11:56,672 --> 00:11:59,630
between him and Niducci, but, um--
236
00:11:59,631 --> 00:12:00,980
wait.
237
00:12:00,981 --> 00:12:02,590
What is it?
238
00:12:02,591 --> 00:12:05,158
There's a bunch more texts here between Harper
239
00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:07,464
and someone named Finn Carson.
240
00:12:07,465 --> 00:12:08,814
Refers to him as Agent Carson.
241
00:12:08,815 --> 00:12:10,163
Looks like they're talking about some kind
242
00:12:10,164 --> 00:12:11,555
of investigation. - What kind of investigation?
243
00:12:11,556 --> 00:12:13,862
I have no idea. It's all very vague.
244
00:12:13,863 --> 00:12:15,777
Looks like there's an Agent Finn Carson
245
00:12:15,778 --> 00:12:19,259
in the Homeland Security New York field office.
246
00:12:19,260 --> 00:12:21,696
Works in the Financial Crimes Unit.
247
00:12:21,697 --> 00:12:25,134
Charles Harper was working with Homeland Security?
248
00:12:29,313 --> 00:12:31,793
Charles Harper? Name doesn't ring a bell.
249
00:12:31,794 --> 00:12:33,403
Look, we understand that undercover work
250
00:12:33,404 --> 00:12:34,840
can be delicate.
251
00:12:34,841 --> 00:12:36,058
We're not trying to blow up your operation,
252
00:12:36,059 --> 00:12:37,668
but a man is dead.
253
00:12:37,669 --> 00:12:40,149
And we need your help figuring out who killed him.
254
00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:41,716
So if his murder has anything to do
255
00:12:41,717 --> 00:12:43,283
with the case that you're working on--
256
00:12:43,284 --> 00:12:44,414
I'm not being coy with you here, guys.
257
00:12:44,415 --> 00:12:45,807
There is no case.
258
00:12:45,808 --> 00:12:48,854
I don't know who you're talking about.
259
00:12:48,855 --> 00:12:50,638
OK.
260
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:53,032
Harper's cell logs show that he was in heavy communication
261
00:12:53,033 --> 00:12:54,424
with this number.
262
00:12:54,425 --> 00:12:55,904
Now, that comes back to a burner phone,
263
00:12:55,905 --> 00:12:59,429
but he had it saved in his contacts under your name.
264
00:12:59,430 --> 00:13:01,388
Yeah, these didn't come from me.
265
00:13:06,611 --> 00:13:08,788
I think I know what's going on.
266
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:12,616
Looks like Charles Harper got scammed.
267
00:13:12,617 --> 00:13:14,488
Yeah, HSI has actually had a bunch of these incidents
268
00:13:14,489 --> 00:13:15,924
over the last few years.
269
00:13:15,925 --> 00:13:17,360
They call it pig butchering.
270
00:13:17,361 --> 00:13:19,275
Yeah, so the scammer calls the person pretending
271
00:13:19,276 --> 00:13:21,887
to be an HSI agent and lets them know
272
00:13:21,888 --> 00:13:24,367
that they've been investigated for financial fraud.
273
00:13:24,368 --> 00:13:25,760
And let me guess.
274
00:13:25,761 --> 00:13:27,240
The first step is to give Homeland Security
275
00:13:27,241 --> 00:13:28,894
access to their bank accounts.
276
00:13:28,895 --> 00:13:30,330
That, or they get them to wire a bunch of money
277
00:13:30,331 --> 00:13:32,071
to an offshore account that's controlled
278
00:13:32,072 --> 00:13:34,551
by the scammer, which is what we think happened to Harper.
279
00:13:34,552 --> 00:13:37,293
And these are the names and addresses of real agents
280
00:13:37,294 --> 00:13:39,295
and field offices, just in case anybody
281
00:13:39,296 --> 00:13:41,080
wants to verify it's legit.
282
00:13:41,081 --> 00:13:42,733
And in the last two weeks leading up to Harper's death,
283
00:13:42,734 --> 00:13:45,301
he wires $5 million to an offshore account
284
00:13:45,302 --> 00:13:47,782
that then just vanishes into thin air.
285
00:13:47,783 --> 00:13:50,393
Do we think this scammer has anything to do with the murder?
286
00:13:50,394 --> 00:13:51,786
Doubtful.
287
00:13:51,787 --> 00:13:53,396
No, these guys, once they get the money,
288
00:13:53,397 --> 00:13:54,833
they usually vanish into thin air too.
289
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:56,617
Check this out.
290
00:13:56,618 --> 00:13:58,227
Harper recently upped his life insurance
291
00:13:58,228 --> 00:14:02,275
policy to $10 million, and his kids are the beneficiaries.
292
00:14:02,276 --> 00:14:05,887
Now, Sean Harper, he's got an alibi, the pajama photo.
293
00:14:05,888 --> 00:14:08,890
But if you ask me, $5 million is more than enough incentive
294
00:14:08,891 --> 00:14:10,370
for him to lie.
295
00:14:10,371 --> 00:14:12,111
Plus, we know that he has very strong feelings
296
00:14:12,112 --> 00:14:13,503
about his inheritance,
297
00:14:13,504 --> 00:14:15,070
and if he found out that his dad was broke--
298
00:14:15,071 --> 00:14:18,334
And we all know how easy it is to manipulate a photo.
299
00:14:18,335 --> 00:14:20,990
Well, have another chat with him.
300
00:14:23,906 --> 00:14:26,081
I'm telling you, I was here all night, all right?
301
00:14:26,082 --> 00:14:27,866
You can talk to my doorman.
302
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:29,824
Or better yet, the building is covered in security cameras.
303
00:14:29,825 --> 00:14:32,044
Check those. - We will.
304
00:14:32,045 --> 00:14:33,915
I didn't even know about my dad being scammed
305
00:14:33,916 --> 00:14:35,569
until this morning when my sister
306
00:14:35,570 --> 00:14:37,005
and I met with the estate lawyers.
307
00:14:37,006 --> 00:14:39,834
I still can't believe he got sucked in like that.
308
00:14:39,835 --> 00:14:41,662
We'll need to speak to your girlfriend too.
309
00:14:41,663 --> 00:14:43,838
Fine, but she's not here.
310
00:14:43,839 --> 00:14:46,015
We have her number. We'll be in touch.
311
00:14:50,367 --> 00:14:51,586
Wait.
312
00:14:53,370 --> 00:14:56,416
There's something I haven't told you.
313
00:14:56,417 --> 00:14:58,244
Oh, yeah? What's that?
314
00:14:59,942 --> 00:15:01,812
All right, the day my dad was killed,
315
00:15:01,813 --> 00:15:03,336
I spoke to my sister, and she told me that
316
00:15:03,337 --> 00:15:05,947
she was planning on having dinner with him that night.
317
00:15:05,948 --> 00:15:08,776
She told us a much different story.
318
00:15:08,777 --> 00:15:10,734
Right, well, she told me that, you know,
319
00:15:10,735 --> 00:15:12,693
she ended up canceling,
320
00:15:12,694 --> 00:15:15,652
but, look, the reason I didn't tell you guys about this
321
00:15:15,653 --> 00:15:16,958
before is that I believed her.
322
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:18,918
I couldn't imagine that she would ever--
323
00:15:21,268 --> 00:15:23,095
That's changed now.
324
00:15:23,096 --> 00:15:25,271
This afternoon, I was at Victoria's apartment,
325
00:15:25,272 --> 00:15:26,968
and I was feeling kind of upset,
326
00:15:26,969 --> 00:15:30,015
so I went to her bathroom to look for a Klonopin.
327
00:15:30,016 --> 00:15:31,408
And?
328
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,673
And I saw something in one of her drawers.
329
00:15:44,291 --> 00:15:46,422
Your mother's missing wedding ring,
330
00:15:46,423 --> 00:15:47,336
right where your brother said it would be.
331
00:15:47,337 --> 00:15:48,642
So? I mean, it's mine.
332
00:15:48,643 --> 00:15:50,078
My father gave it to me.
333
00:15:50,079 --> 00:15:51,601
Well, that's funny, because you told us
334
00:15:51,602 --> 00:15:53,299
it was taken by whoever killed and robbed him.
335
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:55,605
I already told you already--
336
00:15:55,606 --> 00:15:58,826
she was home with me the night that Charles was killed.
337
00:15:58,827 --> 00:16:01,002
Have a seat now.
338
00:16:01,003 --> 00:16:03,178
Detectives,
339
00:16:03,179 --> 00:16:05,267
this the hoodie you're looking for?
340
00:16:05,268 --> 00:16:07,617
- It sure is. - It was in the dryer.
341
00:16:07,618 --> 00:16:09,664
It was just washed.
342
00:16:11,013 --> 00:16:12,144
That's blood.
343
00:16:14,190 --> 00:16:15,451
And you were supposed to be the one
344
00:16:15,452 --> 00:16:16,887
who didn't care about the money, huh?
345
00:16:16,888 --> 00:16:18,454
Please, you don't understand.
346
00:16:18,455 --> 00:16:20,979
Victoria Beyer, you're under arrest for the murder
347
00:16:20,980 --> 00:16:22,197
of Charles Harper.
348
00:16:22,198 --> 00:16:23,416
You have the right to remain silent.
349
00:16:23,417 --> 00:16:24,939
Anything you say can and will be used
350
00:16:24,940 --> 00:16:26,245
against you in a court of law.
351
00:16:26,246 --> 00:16:28,812
Do you understand? - Hey, no, no, no, no, no.
352
00:16:28,813 --> 00:16:29,988
Arraignment went well.
353
00:16:29,989 --> 00:16:33,339
Bail was set a $2 million.
354
00:16:33,340 --> 00:16:35,471
Hi. Sorry, I didn't realize.
355
00:16:35,472 --> 00:16:37,647
No, no, no, Sam, it's OK. This is my brother, Thomas.
356
00:16:37,648 --> 00:16:38,866
Nice to meet you.
357
00:16:38,867 --> 00:16:41,086
Nolan told me about you.
358
00:16:41,087 --> 00:16:42,348
I didn't mean to interrupt. I'll be back.
359
00:16:42,349 --> 00:16:43,697
No, no, no. No need.
360
00:16:43,698 --> 00:16:45,133
I was just going.
361
00:16:45,134 --> 00:16:49,311
You know, he's actually a lot of fun, deep down.
362
00:16:49,312 --> 00:16:50,660
But he can be stubborn to the point
363
00:16:50,661 --> 00:16:52,706
where you begin to question what kind
364
00:16:52,707 --> 00:16:55,100
of person he really is.
365
00:16:55,101 --> 00:16:56,798
Talk more soon.
366
00:16:58,974 --> 00:17:00,714
Everything OK?
367
00:17:00,715 --> 00:17:02,237
Yeah, yeah.
368
00:17:02,238 --> 00:17:05,327
Was she able to post bail? - Uh, yes.
369
00:17:05,328 --> 00:17:07,808
She's rich enough to post that kind of bail
370
00:17:07,809 --> 00:17:10,332
but still has to murder her father for money?
371
00:17:10,333 --> 00:17:12,813
Can a person really be that greedy?
372
00:17:12,814 --> 00:17:14,467
I assume that was rhetorical.
373
00:17:14,468 --> 00:17:17,339
Yeah, well, it's pretty clear the defense's strategy
374
00:17:17,340 --> 00:17:19,385
is gonna lean heavily on her alibi.
375
00:17:19,386 --> 00:17:22,127
Right, the husband claims she was at home with him.
376
00:17:22,128 --> 00:17:23,693
And he's sticking to it.
377
00:17:23,694 --> 00:17:26,218
Unfortunately, her cell site data backs up her story.
378
00:17:26,219 --> 00:17:27,871
Well, that just means that she's smart enough
379
00:17:27,872 --> 00:17:30,178
to not bring her phone with her when she commits murder.
380
00:17:30,179 --> 00:17:32,093
The brother is the one who pointed
381
00:17:32,094 --> 00:17:33,573
detectives in her direction.
382
00:17:33,574 --> 00:17:35,618
He can also establish that Victoria was planning
383
00:17:35,619 --> 00:17:37,359
on going to their father's brownstone
384
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:39,144
on the night of the murder.
385
00:17:39,145 --> 00:17:40,407
Sounds like a good witness.
386
00:17:45,412 --> 00:17:47,543
On the day that your father was murdered,
387
00:17:47,544 --> 00:17:49,110
did you speak to your sister?
388
00:17:49,111 --> 00:17:50,372
Yes.
389
00:17:50,373 --> 00:17:52,070
She called me in the late afternoon.
390
00:17:52,071 --> 00:17:54,681
And what did you talk about?
391
00:17:54,682 --> 00:17:56,117
A number of things.
392
00:17:56,118 --> 00:17:58,946
She mostly just wanted to check in on me.
393
00:17:58,947 --> 00:18:02,602
Did she mention what her plans were that evening?
394
00:18:02,603 --> 00:18:06,084
I don't believe so. No.
395
00:18:09,610 --> 00:18:11,872
Isn't it true that she told you
396
00:18:11,873 --> 00:18:14,570
she was planning on going to your father's brownstone
397
00:18:14,571 --> 00:18:16,268
that night?
398
00:18:19,924 --> 00:18:22,622
No.
399
00:18:30,326 --> 00:18:33,198
Permission to treat this witness as hostile, Your Honor.
400
00:18:33,199 --> 00:18:35,156
So granted.
401
00:18:39,422 --> 00:18:44,687
Your Honor, I am handing Mr. Harper
402
00:18:44,688 --> 00:18:48,474
what I am marking as people's exhibit 1 for identification.
403
00:18:48,475 --> 00:18:51,825
This is the statement you gave detectives
404
00:18:51,826 --> 00:18:53,522
two days after your father's murder.
405
00:18:53,523 --> 00:18:55,742
Do you recognize it? - Yes.
406
00:18:55,743 --> 00:18:58,788
And that is your signature at the bottom.
407
00:18:58,789 --> 00:19:00,268
Yes.
408
00:19:00,269 --> 00:19:02,792
In this statement, you told the police that Victoria
409
00:19:02,793 --> 00:19:05,230
called you the day of the murder and said
410
00:19:05,231 --> 00:19:06,622
she was headed to your father's home.
411
00:19:06,623 --> 00:19:08,058
Right. Uh--
412
00:19:08,059 --> 00:19:11,323
So that conversation happened a few days before,
413
00:19:11,324 --> 00:19:13,020
not the day that my dad was killed.
414
00:19:13,021 --> 00:19:15,240
I got--I got turned around.
415
00:19:15,241 --> 00:19:17,285
I--I was-- I was an emotional wreck.
416
00:19:17,286 --> 00:19:18,808
My father had just been murdered.
417
00:19:18,809 --> 00:19:21,550
You told the detectives that you suspected her
418
00:19:21,551 --> 00:19:23,813
of being involved because you saw
419
00:19:23,814 --> 00:19:26,338
your mother's wedding ring in her apartment,
420
00:19:26,339 --> 00:19:28,775
the ring that she told police
421
00:19:28,776 --> 00:19:31,560
must have been stolen by your father's killer.
422
00:19:31,561 --> 00:19:34,259
Well, she ended up finding the ring
423
00:19:34,260 --> 00:19:35,825
after she reported it missing.
424
00:19:35,826 --> 00:19:39,220
It turned out that our father had put the ring
425
00:19:39,221 --> 00:19:41,266
into the family safe deposit box.
426
00:19:41,267 --> 00:19:46,009
You were in my office last night
427
00:19:46,010 --> 00:19:47,576
to prepare for your testimony.
428
00:19:47,577 --> 00:19:51,450
You never once said your statement was incorrect.
429
00:19:51,451 --> 00:19:53,539
Well, after I got home, I started going over
430
00:19:53,540 --> 00:19:57,020
everything in my head, and, you know, that's when
431
00:19:57,021 --> 00:19:59,327
I realized that I, um--
432
00:19:59,328 --> 00:20:01,416
well, I screwed up the date.
433
00:20:01,417 --> 00:20:04,202
Victoria was devoted to Dad.
434
00:20:04,203 --> 00:20:06,029
She spent a lot of time with him,
435
00:20:06,030 --> 00:20:08,249
but, no, I'm not aware of her having any plans
436
00:20:08,250 --> 00:20:09,816
to see him that night.
437
00:20:16,911 --> 00:20:18,825
Is there any way to prove Sean Harper's lying?
438
00:20:18,826 --> 00:20:20,043
I tried.
439
00:20:20,044 --> 00:20:21,567
I got permission to cross-examine him,
440
00:20:21,568 --> 00:20:23,003
but he held pretty firm.
441
00:20:23,004 --> 00:20:24,570
So he's playing us.
442
00:20:24,571 --> 00:20:26,136
He was planning this all along.
443
00:20:26,137 --> 00:20:28,269
Otherwise, why even agree to take the stand?
444
00:20:28,270 --> 00:20:30,663
My guess is his sister offered
445
00:20:30,664 --> 00:20:33,100
to cut him an even bigger chunk of the insurance money.
446
00:20:33,101 --> 00:20:36,277
And everyone we've spoken to goes on and on
447
00:20:36,278 --> 00:20:40,325
about how Charles Harper was kind and hardworking,
448
00:20:40,326 --> 00:20:43,850
but somehow his children turned out to be vipers.
449
00:20:43,851 --> 00:20:48,289
Sometimes the apple actually does fall far from the tree.
450
00:20:48,290 --> 00:20:50,160
Apples.
451
00:20:50,161 --> 00:20:51,858
The police never found the murder weapon?
452
00:20:51,859 --> 00:20:53,425
No.
453
00:20:53,426 --> 00:20:57,037
But we do have Victoria's sweatshirt
454
00:20:57,038 --> 00:20:59,300
with the victim's blood on it and the neighbor
455
00:20:59,301 --> 00:21:00,649
who saw someone wearing that same sweatshirt
456
00:21:00,650 --> 00:21:02,085
fleeing the scene.
457
00:21:02,086 --> 00:21:04,610
That hoodie is available in every mall in America.
458
00:21:04,611 --> 00:21:06,655
And your witness couldn't even tell if the person
459
00:21:06,656 --> 00:21:08,309
she saw was a man or a woman.
460
00:21:08,310 --> 00:21:10,268
And the defense will try to explain away
461
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:12,879
the blood and claim it got on the hoodie some other time.
462
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,620
You need to find a way to more concretely
463
00:21:14,621 --> 00:21:17,188
put Victoria Beyer at the crime scene that night.
464
00:21:19,103 --> 00:21:21,191
Well, looks like it's gonna be a long night.
465
00:21:21,192 --> 00:21:24,238
Yep, let's pull everything we got on Victoria Beyer
466
00:21:24,239 --> 00:21:26,458
and Charles Harper. - Nolan.
467
00:21:26,459 --> 00:21:28,111
Hey. Thomas, what are you doing here?
468
00:21:28,112 --> 00:21:29,852
We need to talk.
469
00:21:29,853 --> 00:21:32,333
Sorry, I promise I'm usually not this much of a buzzkill.
470
00:21:32,334 --> 00:21:35,467
- Oh. - Well, I'll politely disagree.
471
00:21:35,468 --> 00:21:37,164
I'm gonna go into the conference room,
472
00:21:37,165 --> 00:21:39,340
get started. - OK, I'll be in, in a minute.
473
00:21:39,341 --> 00:21:42,343
No rush. It was nice to see you again.
474
00:21:42,344 --> 00:21:44,650
You've been ignoring my calls.
475
00:21:44,651 --> 00:21:47,000
Um, no, I'm in the middle of a trial right now.
476
00:21:47,001 --> 00:21:49,481
Listen, I spoke to the doctor.
477
00:21:49,482 --> 00:21:52,745
Dad had another episode.
478
00:21:52,746 --> 00:21:55,835
Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, he did, but he's fine now.
479
00:21:55,836 --> 00:21:58,011
Were you gonna tell me?
480
00:21:58,012 --> 00:22:00,056
He's stable. There's nothing to tell.
481
00:22:00,057 --> 00:22:01,493
This is gonna keep on happening, Nolan.
482
00:22:01,494 --> 00:22:03,016
No, it's not necessarily true.
483
00:22:03,017 --> 00:22:04,452
They put him on a new medication.
484
00:22:04,453 --> 00:22:05,845
I think it's time to have a conversation about--
485
00:22:05,846 --> 00:22:07,368
Hold on.
486
00:22:07,369 --> 00:22:08,848
This is why I didn't want to tell you, all right?
487
00:22:08,849 --> 00:22:11,067
'Cause you're already blowing it out of proportion.
488
00:22:11,068 --> 00:22:14,201
I'm asking you to think about what is best for Dad.
489
00:22:14,202 --> 00:22:16,508
- Excuse me? - Nolan, don't do this.
490
00:22:16,509 --> 00:22:18,988
- How dare you suggest-- - He's dying.
491
00:22:18,989 --> 00:22:20,990
OK, you think I don't care about Dad?
492
00:22:20,991 --> 00:22:22,557
We need to figure out right now--
493
00:22:22,558 --> 00:22:26,300
- I don't have time for this. - OK.
494
00:22:26,301 --> 00:22:27,867
Of course not. You're busy.
495
00:22:27,868 --> 00:22:29,652
Dad is dying.
496
00:22:31,524 --> 00:22:34,003
Whether or not you're in the middle of a trial
497
00:22:34,004 --> 00:22:36,180
doesn't matter.
498
00:22:43,318 --> 00:22:45,276
OK.
499
00:22:47,191 --> 00:22:50,498
We should, uh, go back over the statements
500
00:22:50,499 --> 00:22:52,282
that Victoria and her husband gave the police.
501
00:22:52,283 --> 00:22:54,372
Yeah, I did. There are no discrepancies.
502
00:22:54,373 --> 00:22:57,679
And, uh, credit card statements,
503
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,202
cell phone location data,
504
00:22:59,203 --> 00:23:01,640
there is nothing that indicates she was anywhere else
505
00:23:01,641 --> 00:23:02,728
other than at home on the night of the murder.
506
00:23:02,729 --> 00:23:04,425
Ah.
507
00:23:04,426 --> 00:23:05,731
Whoa. You OK?
508
00:23:05,732 --> 00:23:06,950
Yeah.
509
00:23:11,302 --> 00:23:15,393
Well, if we can't figure out
510
00:23:15,394 --> 00:23:18,961
where she dumped or hid the murder weapon,
511
00:23:18,962 --> 00:23:20,528
we'll have to find-- thank you.
512
00:23:20,529 --> 00:23:24,358
We'll have to find some way to disprove her alibi.
513
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,014
Nolan, I don't mean to pry, but are you sure you're OK?
514
00:23:28,015 --> 00:23:29,973
Yeah, it's nothing.
515
00:23:35,326 --> 00:23:38,242
My father isn't doing very well.
516
00:23:39,679 --> 00:23:42,332
I'm so sorry.
517
00:23:42,333 --> 00:23:43,856
Um...
518
00:23:43,857 --> 00:23:45,989
what's wrong with him?
519
00:23:47,861 --> 00:23:50,211
At the end of the day, he's old.
520
00:23:52,126 --> 00:23:54,170
His body is shutting down.
521
00:23:54,171 --> 00:23:56,608
And, uh, my brother,
522
00:23:56,609 --> 00:23:59,132
he thinks we should start hospice care.
523
00:23:59,133 --> 00:24:02,440
But--
524
00:24:02,441 --> 00:24:04,746
What does your father say?
525
00:24:04,747 --> 00:24:07,488
He's not lucid enough to fully understand the situation,
526
00:24:07,489 --> 00:24:12,145
and I am his health care proxy, so...
527
00:24:12,146 --> 00:24:14,408
- It's a lot of responsibility. - Yeah.
528
00:24:14,409 --> 00:24:16,498
Thomas just...
529
00:24:18,457 --> 00:24:20,109
He just sees things differently
530
00:24:20,110 --> 00:24:23,199
or--or less optimistically, anyway.
531
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,114
And I get where he's coming from.
532
00:24:25,115 --> 00:24:27,203
It's hard.
533
00:24:27,204 --> 00:24:30,293
Trips to the hospital, the emergency phone calls
534
00:24:30,294 --> 00:24:32,078
in the middle of the night,
535
00:24:32,079 --> 00:24:34,298
but...
536
00:24:37,214 --> 00:24:38,998
When you-- when you love someone,
537
00:24:38,999 --> 00:24:41,175
you deal with the hard.
538
00:24:46,833 --> 00:24:49,488
Well, I'm sorry you're dealing with all this.
539
00:24:54,144 --> 00:24:56,668
What?
540
00:24:56,669 --> 00:24:59,062
The ring.
541
00:25:00,847 --> 00:25:03,936
Sean Harper claimed that Victoria found it
542
00:25:03,937 --> 00:25:05,546
in the family's safe deposit box
543
00:25:05,547 --> 00:25:08,244
after she reported it missing.
544
00:25:08,245 --> 00:25:11,684
Maybe we can prove they're lying about that.
545
00:25:12,902 --> 00:25:15,425
Let's see.
546
00:25:15,426 --> 00:25:20,953
The safe deposit box is in Manhattan Mutual Bank.
547
00:25:20,954 --> 00:25:22,694
Hmm.
548
00:25:22,695 --> 00:25:25,044
Looks like she did go there the day after the murder,
549
00:25:25,045 --> 00:25:27,568
so it's possible she's telling the truth.
550
00:25:27,569 --> 00:25:30,789
According to that, she was at the bank at 9:14 a.m.
551
00:25:30,790 --> 00:25:35,141
That's before she went to the brownstone, called 911.
552
00:25:35,142 --> 00:25:37,404
And so--
553
00:25:37,405 --> 00:25:39,319
so she goes back to the crime scene
554
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,017
to "discover" her father's body,
555
00:25:42,018 --> 00:25:44,977
but she stops here first. Why?
556
00:25:44,978 --> 00:25:46,979
I mean, what could she have needed out of that box
557
00:25:46,980 --> 00:25:48,284
that was so important?
558
00:25:48,285 --> 00:25:51,549
Maybe she was putting something in
559
00:25:51,550 --> 00:25:53,464
rather than taking something out.
560
00:25:55,771 --> 00:25:58,338
Police didn't know about the safe deposit box.
561
00:25:58,339 --> 00:26:00,646
Well, it's a good place to hide something.
562
00:26:04,214 --> 00:26:06,738
Miss Kern, police recovered the gun
563
00:26:06,739 --> 00:26:10,002
that killed Charles Harper from a safe deposit box
564
00:26:10,003 --> 00:26:11,699
at the bank that you manage.
565
00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:14,528
I assure you, no one at the bank knew it was there.
566
00:26:14,529 --> 00:26:17,052
We have a strict policy against storing firearms.
567
00:26:17,053 --> 00:26:21,143
The safe deposit box belonged to Charles Harper.
568
00:26:21,144 --> 00:26:22,492
Who else had access to it?
569
00:26:22,493 --> 00:26:24,930
Victoria Beyer and Sean Harper.
570
00:26:24,931 --> 00:26:26,453
His children.
571
00:26:26,454 --> 00:26:28,281
Did either of them visit the box
572
00:26:28,282 --> 00:26:30,413
after their father's murder?
573
00:26:30,414 --> 00:26:32,285
According to our logs, Victoria Beyer
574
00:26:32,286 --> 00:26:34,417
accessed it on December 3rd.
575
00:26:34,418 --> 00:26:36,376
The day after Charles Harper was killed.
576
00:26:36,377 --> 00:26:38,073
Has anyone visited the box since?
577
00:26:38,074 --> 00:26:39,597
No.
578
00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:42,643
Meaning the defendant is the only person
579
00:26:42,644 --> 00:26:44,646
who could have put the gun there.
580
00:26:47,344 --> 00:26:48,823
Thank you.
581
00:26:48,824 --> 00:26:51,173
No further questions.
582
00:26:51,174 --> 00:26:52,871
We'll end there for the day.
583
00:26:52,872 --> 00:26:55,090
Court will resume tomorrow at 9:00 a.m.
584
00:26:57,659 --> 00:27:00,400
I'd like to discuss a deal.
585
00:27:00,401 --> 00:27:05,318
Of course you would, but, um, we're good.
586
00:27:05,319 --> 00:27:07,407
There's something you need to know.
587
00:27:13,675 --> 00:27:16,155
We are all ears.
588
00:27:16,156 --> 00:27:17,765
It's OK.
589
00:27:17,766 --> 00:27:20,202
Anything you say here can't be used against you,
590
00:27:20,203 --> 00:27:22,161
should the trial continue.
591
00:27:25,295 --> 00:27:27,993
I was the one who shot my father.
592
00:27:27,994 --> 00:27:29,690
Oh, we know.
593
00:27:29,691 --> 00:27:31,518
I'm pretty sure the jury does, too.
594
00:27:31,519 --> 00:27:34,260
No, you don't understand.
595
00:27:34,261 --> 00:27:36,741
I did it because he asked me to.
596
00:27:38,961 --> 00:27:42,137
It turns out Charles Harper had Pick's disease,
597
00:27:42,138 --> 00:27:44,357
also known as frontotemporal dementia.
598
00:27:44,358 --> 00:27:45,575
We know this for a fact?
599
00:27:45,576 --> 00:27:47,447
Defense provided medical records
600
00:27:47,448 --> 00:27:50,668
showing that he was diagnosed a little over a year ago.
601
00:27:50,669 --> 00:27:53,932
It's an aggressive form of mental deterioration,
602
00:27:53,933 --> 00:27:55,324
and it's fatal.
603
00:27:55,325 --> 00:27:56,674
How are we just finding out about this?
604
00:27:56,675 --> 00:27:58,414
Harper hadn't told anyone.
605
00:27:58,415 --> 00:27:59,720
It was only in the early stages.
606
00:27:59,721 --> 00:28:01,679
He wanted to hide it as long as possible.
607
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,289
And according to Victoria,
608
00:28:03,290 --> 00:28:05,378
he only told her a month before the murder
609
00:28:05,379 --> 00:28:07,119
when the symptoms started getting worse.
610
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:09,861
Which explains why he went from a frugal workaholic
611
00:28:09,862 --> 00:28:11,514
to traveling the world.
612
00:28:11,515 --> 00:28:14,256
He knew his time was limited.
613
00:28:14,257 --> 00:28:15,736
It would also explain how someone
614
00:28:15,737 --> 00:28:17,085
as smart as Harper could get scammed
615
00:28:17,086 --> 00:28:18,652
out of his life savings.
616
00:28:18,653 --> 00:28:21,307
According to Victoria, that was the final straw.
617
00:28:21,308 --> 00:28:22,787
He knew it was only gonna get worse.
618
00:28:22,788 --> 00:28:24,310
He didn't want to go out like that,
619
00:28:24,311 --> 00:28:26,008
so he asked her to take his life.
620
00:28:27,227 --> 00:28:28,967
This was an assisted suicide?
621
00:28:28,968 --> 00:28:31,012
Well, if you believe Victoria Beyer.
622
00:28:31,013 --> 00:28:34,407
But it makes more sense than her killing him for money.
623
00:28:34,408 --> 00:28:36,452
I mean, she and her husband have
624
00:28:36,453 --> 00:28:38,803
a net worth of $50 million. What's another 5?
625
00:28:38,804 --> 00:28:41,327
She shot him in the head, Sam.
626
00:28:41,328 --> 00:28:44,460
And she staged it to look like a burglary
627
00:28:44,461 --> 00:28:46,201
so the insurance would pay out.
628
00:28:46,202 --> 00:28:48,247
And even if you take her at her word,
629
00:28:48,248 --> 00:28:51,206
assisted suicide isn't legal in New York.
630
00:28:51,207 --> 00:28:52,817
Not yet.
631
00:28:52,818 --> 00:28:55,602
The legislature is considering a bill decriminalizing it.
632
00:28:55,603 --> 00:28:57,343
It has a lot of support too.
633
00:28:57,344 --> 00:28:58,779
Great, but that's still not--
634
00:28:58,780 --> 00:29:00,650
If what she's claiming is true,
635
00:29:00,651 --> 00:29:03,350
we should consider pleading her out to a lesser charge.
636
00:29:05,613 --> 00:29:08,572
There is no way in hell we offer a deal here.
637
00:29:09,791 --> 00:29:11,966
Charles Harper was still healthy enough
638
00:29:11,967 --> 00:29:13,576
that no one even knew he was sick.
639
00:29:13,577 --> 00:29:14,926
He had years left to live.
640
00:29:14,927 --> 00:29:16,797
But if he asked her to do it, then--
641
00:29:16,798 --> 00:29:20,366
But we don't have any proof that he actually did.
642
00:29:20,367 --> 00:29:23,325
And even if she's telling the truth,
643
00:29:23,326 --> 00:29:26,589
"he told me to" is not a legal defense against murder.
644
00:29:26,590 --> 00:29:29,070
You're right. But the jury might not care.
645
00:29:29,071 --> 00:29:30,811
All they're gonna see is a dutiful daughter
646
00:29:30,812 --> 00:29:32,813
trying to help her father die with dignity.
647
00:29:32,814 --> 00:29:35,642
I agree, which is why I'm gonna file a motion
648
00:29:35,643 --> 00:29:37,165
to prevent her from even mentioning
649
00:29:37,166 --> 00:29:39,254
the words "assisted suicide."
650
00:29:49,178 --> 00:29:50,396
Nolan.
651
00:29:50,397 --> 00:29:52,311
There's nothing to discuss, Sam.
652
00:29:52,312 --> 00:29:54,574
Even if you take Victoria at her word,
653
00:29:54,575 --> 00:29:56,228
it isn't assisted suicide.
654
00:29:56,229 --> 00:29:59,753
She didn't humanely shoot up her father with morphine.
655
00:29:59,754 --> 00:30:01,146
She put a bullet in the back of his head.
656
00:30:01,147 --> 00:30:03,017
You are under a lot of pressure right now, OK?
657
00:30:03,018 --> 00:30:04,192
You have a lot going on.
658
00:30:04,193 --> 00:30:05,541
Oh, no, no, no.
659
00:30:05,542 --> 00:30:07,805
No, that has nothing to do with this.
660
00:30:07,806 --> 00:30:09,110
I'm fine.
661
00:30:09,111 --> 00:30:11,547
If you'll excuse me, I have a motion to draft.
662
00:30:19,643 --> 00:30:21,383
We have the right to present
663
00:30:21,384 --> 00:30:23,081
all relevant circumstantial facts,
664
00:30:23,082 --> 00:30:24,909
including that the victim in this case
665
00:30:24,910 --> 00:30:26,693
orchestrated his own death.
666
00:30:26,694 --> 00:30:29,043
Now, even if that's true, it's not a valid defense
667
00:30:29,044 --> 00:30:31,176
and is therefore irrelevant.
668
00:30:31,177 --> 00:30:34,657
Any mention of assisted suicide or Harper's diagnosis
669
00:30:34,658 --> 00:30:36,703
will just prejudice and confuse the jury,
670
00:30:36,704 --> 00:30:38,661
which is clearly the intent.
671
00:30:38,662 --> 00:30:41,229
Assisted suicide is a lesser charge
672
00:30:41,230 --> 00:30:43,057
that the jury should have the right to consider.
673
00:30:43,058 --> 00:30:44,537
Technically, the facts in this case
674
00:30:44,538 --> 00:30:46,147
don't qualify for assisted suicide
675
00:30:46,148 --> 00:30:48,236
under New York Penal Code.
676
00:30:48,237 --> 00:30:50,283
That's for the jury to decide.
677
00:30:51,458 --> 00:30:53,502
This situation sounds like it might
678
00:30:53,503 --> 00:30:55,504
best be worked out with a plea deal.
679
00:30:55,505 --> 00:30:56,941
Well, we tried that, Your Honor,
680
00:30:56,942 --> 00:30:58,943
but the prosecution turned us down.
681
00:30:58,944 --> 00:31:01,336
And that decision stands.
682
00:31:01,337 --> 00:31:03,904
In that case, Mr. Price, I agree with Mr. Banks.
683
00:31:03,905 --> 00:31:05,253
It's up to the jury.
684
00:31:05,254 --> 00:31:08,605
Your motion is denied.
685
00:31:10,738 --> 00:31:14,262
Pick's disease is a form of early onset dementia
686
00:31:14,263 --> 00:31:17,178
that progresses very rapidly.
687
00:31:17,179 --> 00:31:19,615
The time of symptoms first presenting
688
00:31:19,616 --> 00:31:22,314
to death in some cases
689
00:31:22,315 --> 00:31:24,533
can be as short as five years.
690
00:31:24,534 --> 00:31:27,275
- And is there any cure? - No.
691
00:31:27,276 --> 00:31:29,451
What are those symptoms, Doctor?
692
00:31:29,452 --> 00:31:31,976
In the beginning, the patient experiences
693
00:31:31,977 --> 00:31:34,717
momentary lapses of cognition.
694
00:31:34,718 --> 00:31:38,069
But in the later stages, it's a full shutdown
695
00:31:38,070 --> 00:31:39,940
of brain function.
696
00:31:39,941 --> 00:31:44,031
The patient becomes completely unaware of who they are
697
00:31:44,032 --> 00:31:45,903
and what is happening to them.
698
00:31:45,904 --> 00:31:47,295
They lose all memory.
699
00:31:47,296 --> 00:31:50,124
They forget how to eat, how to walk,
700
00:31:50,125 --> 00:31:52,431
go to the bathroom.
701
00:31:52,432 --> 00:31:53,693
And when did you diagnose Charles Harper
702
00:31:53,694 --> 00:31:55,129
with the disease?
703
00:31:55,130 --> 00:31:56,826
A little over a year ago.
704
00:31:56,827 --> 00:31:59,960
At that time, he had already been experiencing mild symptoms
705
00:31:59,961 --> 00:32:01,919
for about eight months.
706
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,225
What was his condition by the time of his death?
707
00:32:04,226 --> 00:32:07,054
He came to see me a few weeks before he died.
708
00:32:07,055 --> 00:32:11,102
He reported that his episodes had gotten more pronounced,
709
00:32:11,103 --> 00:32:13,365
that it had progressed beyond a point
710
00:32:13,366 --> 00:32:16,629
that he was comfortable with.
711
00:32:16,630 --> 00:32:18,936
Did he ask you to help him commit suicide?
712
00:32:18,937 --> 00:32:20,850
Yes.
713
00:32:20,851 --> 00:32:22,722
What did you say?
714
00:32:22,723 --> 00:32:25,464
I told him no.
715
00:32:25,465 --> 00:32:29,424
Physician assisted suicide is currently legal in ten states,
716
00:32:29,425 --> 00:32:31,992
but New York isn't one of them.
717
00:32:31,993 --> 00:32:34,429
I wish I could have helped, but I wasn't willing
718
00:32:34,430 --> 00:32:36,562
to risk losing my license.
719
00:32:41,742 --> 00:32:42,916
Thank you.
720
00:32:42,917 --> 00:32:45,180
Nothing further.
721
00:32:46,877 --> 00:32:52,534
Dr. Lark, you stated that the time between diagnosis
722
00:32:52,535 --> 00:32:55,537
and death with Pick's disease can be as little as five years.
723
00:32:55,538 --> 00:32:58,366
What you didn't mention is that it can also take
724
00:32:58,367 --> 00:33:00,281
upwards of ten years, correct?
725
00:33:00,282 --> 00:33:01,761
In some cases, yes.
726
00:33:01,762 --> 00:33:04,242
And patients can go for many years
727
00:33:04,243 --> 00:33:06,984
before reaching the levels of decline you described,
728
00:33:06,985 --> 00:33:09,029
can't they? - Absolutely.
729
00:33:09,030 --> 00:33:13,773
You examined Charles Harper a few weeks before his death.
730
00:33:13,774 --> 00:33:17,037
He hadn't reached that tragic end stage yet, correct?
731
00:33:17,038 --> 00:33:18,604
Yes, that is correct.
732
00:33:18,605 --> 00:33:21,650
And it could have been years before he did.
733
00:33:21,651 --> 00:33:24,175
Oh, one last thing--
734
00:33:24,176 --> 00:33:26,090
You declined to help Charles Harper
735
00:33:26,091 --> 00:33:29,354
kill himself because legally,
736
00:33:29,355 --> 00:33:33,053
that would be murder, correct?
737
00:33:34,795 --> 00:33:36,622
Yes.
738
00:33:41,932 --> 00:33:44,847
Thank you, nothing further.
739
00:33:49,723 --> 00:33:53,987
My father was a true American success story.
740
00:33:53,988 --> 00:33:56,468
He didn't come from means, but with hard work
741
00:33:56,469 --> 00:33:59,949
and determination, he built a successful company
742
00:33:59,950 --> 00:34:01,690
from the ground up,
743
00:34:01,691 --> 00:34:03,953
all while raising me and my brother on his own
744
00:34:03,954 --> 00:34:05,564
after our mother died.
745
00:34:05,565 --> 00:34:09,785
Being smart and accomplished,
746
00:34:09,786 --> 00:34:11,787
strong,
747
00:34:11,788 --> 00:34:13,485
it was his identity,
748
00:34:13,486 --> 00:34:15,400
who he was as a person.
749
00:34:15,401 --> 00:34:18,707
He refused to become a lesser version of himself.
750
00:34:18,708 --> 00:34:22,276
He wanted to end things on his own terms
751
00:34:22,277 --> 00:34:24,278
while he still had his dignity.
752
00:34:24,279 --> 00:34:26,454
And you agreed with that?
753
00:34:26,455 --> 00:34:28,978
Not at first, and certainly not the way
754
00:34:28,979 --> 00:34:30,632
that he wanted to do it.
755
00:34:30,633 --> 00:34:33,157
At first, I didn't even think that he was serious.
756
00:34:33,158 --> 00:34:35,594
But then he showed me the gun he bought.
757
00:34:35,595 --> 00:34:38,423
So he's the one who purchased the gun?
758
00:34:38,424 --> 00:34:40,295
I was horrified.
759
00:34:43,037 --> 00:34:46,474
He had it all planned out.
760
00:34:46,475 --> 00:34:50,435
He begged me. I had never seen him like that.
761
00:34:50,436 --> 00:34:53,265
It broke my heart.
762
00:34:54,788 --> 00:34:56,832
I know that it's hard to understand,
763
00:34:56,833 --> 00:35:01,360
but what I did was an act of love.
764
00:35:04,145 --> 00:35:05,799
No further questions.
765
00:35:07,453 --> 00:35:10,585
You don't have any evidence that proves
766
00:35:10,586 --> 00:35:12,545
your father was the one who bought the gun, do you?
767
00:35:14,199 --> 00:35:17,940
No, but I'm telling the truth.
768
00:35:17,941 --> 00:35:20,204
So why use a gun at all?
769
00:35:20,205 --> 00:35:21,553
If he wanted to kill himself,
770
00:35:21,554 --> 00:35:24,860
there are a lot less violent ways to do it.
771
00:35:24,861 --> 00:35:26,558
He insisted.
772
00:35:26,559 --> 00:35:28,386
He wanted it to be quick--
773
00:35:28,387 --> 00:35:30,649
no suffering, no struggle,
774
00:35:30,650 --> 00:35:32,520
peaceful one moment and then gone the next.
775
00:35:32,521 --> 00:35:35,219
But then you staged it to look like a burglary.
776
00:35:35,220 --> 00:35:36,872
That was his idea too.
777
00:35:36,873 --> 00:35:38,265
The insurance company wouldn't pay out
778
00:35:38,266 --> 00:35:39,527
if they knew it was a suicide.
779
00:35:39,528 --> 00:35:42,356
So what you did wasn't only murder,
780
00:35:42,357 --> 00:35:44,707
it was also insurance fraud.
781
00:35:46,622 --> 00:35:50,364
No, my father was humiliated that his net worth
782
00:35:50,365 --> 00:35:53,367
had declined so dramatically.
783
00:35:53,368 --> 00:35:55,369
I tried to tell him that it didn't matter,
784
00:35:55,370 --> 00:35:58,372
but he wouldn't listen.
785
00:35:58,373 --> 00:36:01,027
He was worried about my brother.
786
00:36:01,028 --> 00:36:03,116
Sean was trying to start a new venture,
787
00:36:03,117 --> 00:36:05,031
and he wanted to make sure he left him some money.
788
00:36:05,032 --> 00:36:06,554
It was very important to him.
789
00:36:06,555 --> 00:36:08,208
Your father was going to be an emotional
790
00:36:08,209 --> 00:36:09,862
and financial liability.
791
00:36:09,863 --> 00:36:12,038
Killing him eliminated the problem
792
00:36:12,039 --> 00:36:16,129
and replaced the loss with $10 million in cold, hard cash.
793
00:36:16,130 --> 00:36:17,217
That is not true.
794
00:36:17,218 --> 00:36:19,480
- You did this for yourself. - No.
795
00:36:19,481 --> 00:36:23,005
This wasn't an act of love at all.
796
00:36:23,006 --> 00:36:26,095
It was an act of greed. It was an act of selfishness.
797
00:36:26,096 --> 00:36:29,882
The first five times he asked me, I refused.
798
00:36:29,883 --> 00:36:33,233
I couldn't bear the thought of it.
799
00:36:33,234 --> 00:36:36,105
But it wasn't about me
800
00:36:36,106 --> 00:36:38,195
and what I could bear.
801
00:36:38,196 --> 00:36:40,806
The person that I loved most in the world was suffering.
802
00:36:40,807 --> 00:36:43,765
It was only going to get worse, and I could stop that.
803
00:36:43,766 --> 00:36:46,942
If I didn't, that would be selfish.
804
00:36:50,338 --> 00:36:53,775
If he wanted to end his suffering,
805
00:36:53,776 --> 00:36:57,083
he could have done it himself, but he didn't, did he?
806
00:36:57,084 --> 00:37:00,260
You are the one who pulled the trigger.
807
00:37:09,096 --> 00:37:10,966
That's not suicide.
808
00:37:10,967 --> 00:37:12,925
That's murder.
809
00:37:12,926 --> 00:37:15,797
Nothing further.
810
00:37:15,798 --> 00:37:17,886
Court is adjourned for the day.
811
00:37:17,887 --> 00:37:19,932
Trial will resume tomorrow morning.
812
00:37:24,981 --> 00:37:28,245
Oh, um, Sam, I'm sorry.
813
00:37:28,246 --> 00:37:29,855
I have to--I have to go.
814
00:37:39,082 --> 00:37:41,606
Your father has developed dysphagia.
815
00:37:41,607 --> 00:37:43,434
It's a common side effect of the new medication.
816
00:37:43,435 --> 00:37:44,739
OK.
817
00:37:44,740 --> 00:37:46,480
Dysphagia, what does that even mean?
818
00:37:46,481 --> 00:37:49,396
His esophagus has deteriorated.
819
00:37:49,397 --> 00:37:51,311
He can no longer swallow food.
820
00:37:51,312 --> 00:37:52,921
So what do we do?
821
00:37:52,922 --> 00:37:55,489
Well, choice one is we insert a feeding tube.
822
00:37:55,490 --> 00:37:57,404
That could buy him a few more months.
823
00:37:57,405 --> 00:37:59,014
Choice two?
824
00:37:59,015 --> 00:38:03,018
We manage his pain levels over the next 24 to 36 hours,
825
00:38:03,019 --> 00:38:05,718
make his passing as comfortable as possible.
826
00:38:07,372 --> 00:38:10,852
Um--what does installing
827
00:38:10,853 --> 00:38:12,550
the feeding tube entail exactly?
828
00:38:12,551 --> 00:38:14,116
I'm sorry.
829
00:38:14,117 --> 00:38:15,857
Doctor, can we have a moment?
830
00:38:15,858 --> 00:38:17,164
Sure.
831
00:38:21,386 --> 00:38:23,343
Seriously?
832
00:38:23,344 --> 00:38:26,041
A feeding tube?
833
00:38:26,042 --> 00:38:28,870
It's either that or we just sit there and watch him die.
834
00:38:28,871 --> 00:38:30,045
For God's sake.
835
00:38:30,046 --> 00:38:32,352
Dad made me his proxy, and I think
836
00:38:32,353 --> 00:38:35,007
it is reasonable to consider the option
837
00:38:35,008 --> 00:38:36,225
that doesn't kill him.
838
00:38:36,226 --> 00:38:39,447
It may be reasonable, but it's cruel.
839
00:38:41,406 --> 00:38:43,624
Look, there's nothing you can say that's gonna change
840
00:38:43,625 --> 00:38:46,410
his reality or ease his pain.
841
00:38:46,411 --> 00:38:47,889
So you think we should just give up on him
842
00:38:47,890 --> 00:38:50,457
like we did with Christopher?
843
00:38:50,458 --> 00:38:52,547
That's not fair.
844
00:38:54,723 --> 00:38:56,071
Dad can't get out of bed.
845
00:38:56,072 --> 00:38:57,377
He's barely coherent now.
846
00:38:57,378 --> 00:38:59,727
He's gonna be fed through a tube.
847
00:38:59,728 --> 00:39:03,035
I understand how you're feeling, Nolan,
848
00:39:03,036 --> 00:39:04,993
but it's time to let him go.
849
00:39:22,708 --> 00:39:24,230
Do you have a second?
850
00:39:24,231 --> 00:39:25,841
Nolan.
851
00:39:29,454 --> 00:39:30,845
Everything OK?
852
00:39:30,846 --> 00:39:32,238
Yeah.
853
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,545
Rough night.
854
00:39:34,546 --> 00:39:35,937
I think you're right.
855
00:39:35,938 --> 00:39:37,984
We should offer Victoria Beyer a deal.
856
00:39:39,594 --> 00:39:41,769
You have my blessing.
857
00:39:41,770 --> 00:39:44,381
Reach out to the defense.
858
00:39:44,382 --> 00:39:46,949
Out of curiosity...
859
00:39:49,169 --> 00:39:50,910
What changed your mind?
860
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,566
It wasn't so much a change of mind
861
00:39:55,567 --> 00:39:57,524
as a change of heart.
862
00:40:06,186 --> 00:40:09,623
You've reached an agreement, Mr. Price?
863
00:40:09,624 --> 00:40:11,625
We have.
864
00:40:11,626 --> 00:40:13,714
The defendant has agreed to plead guilty
865
00:40:13,715 --> 00:40:16,108
to manslaughter in the second degree.
866
00:40:16,109 --> 00:40:19,546
The people recommend a sentence of five years.
867
00:40:19,547 --> 00:40:23,376
Miss Beyer, do you understand the terms of this deal,
868
00:40:23,377 --> 00:40:26,423
that you will be pleading guilty to manslaughter
869
00:40:26,424 --> 00:40:29,164
in the death of your father?
870
00:40:29,165 --> 00:40:32,124
I do.
871
00:40:32,125 --> 00:40:35,649
I acknowledge what I did was wrong,
872
00:40:35,650 --> 00:40:38,086
but I don't regret it.
873
00:40:38,087 --> 00:40:41,002
I'm just grateful that he's no longer in pain.
874
00:40:55,409 --> 00:40:59,673
We got a meeting tomorrow at the funeral home at 3:00.
875
00:40:59,674 --> 00:41:03,416
OK, I'll be there.
876
00:41:03,417 --> 00:41:06,245
You want to grab a bite,
877
00:41:06,246 --> 00:41:08,161
or better yet, a martini?
878
00:41:09,989 --> 00:41:11,555
I should get back to the office.
879
00:41:11,556 --> 00:41:14,036
Right.
880
00:41:16,125 --> 00:41:17,517
Nolan.
881
00:41:21,391 --> 00:41:23,523
We did the right thing.64367
