1
00:00:15,385 --> 00:00:16,986
I am a prosecutor.

2
00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:20,629
I'm a part of the
business of accusing...

3
00:00:21,540 --> 00:00:22,748
judging...

4
00:00:23,266 --> 00:00:24,627
and punishing.

5
00:00:25,903 --> 00:00:28,223
I explore the evidence
of a crime...

6
00:00:29,143 --> 00:00:31,377
and determine who is charged...

7
00:00:32,537 --> 00:00:34,513
who is brought to this room...

8
00:00:34,580 --> 00:00:36,708
to be tried before his peers.

9
00:00:38,779 --> 00:00:41,176
I present my evidence
to the jury...

10
00:00:42,135 --> 00:00:44,187
and they deliberate upon it.

11
00:00:44,973 --> 00:00:47,744
They must determine
what really happened.

12
00:00:50,141 --> 00:00:51,704
If they cannot...

13
00:00:52,653 --> 00:00:55,034
we won't know if the
accused deserves

14
00:00:55,035 --> 00:00:56,977
to be freed or to be punished.

15
00:00:58,531 --> 00:01:00,659
If they cannot find the truth...

16
00:01:01,618 --> 00:01:03,698
what is our hope of justice?

17
00:02:35,158 --> 00:02:36,568
Where's Nat?

18
00:02:37,153 --> 00:02:38,888
Burying a goldfish.

19
00:02:39,473 --> 00:02:43,078
That he forgot to feed. Kid's
got to learn responsibility.

20
00:02:43,471 --> 00:02:44,804
He's nine.

21
00:02:45,034 --> 00:02:47,882
When you were nine, you fed
the animals on the block...

22
00:02:47,958 --> 00:02:50,077
and made dinner, did
everyone's homework...

23
00:02:50,154 --> 00:02:52,551
and, in your spare time,
you practised law.

24
00:02:52,637 --> 00:02:55,284
I didn't practise law
until I was ten.

25
00:02:55,993 --> 00:02:57,355
Listen to this.

26
00:02:57,594 --> 00:03:01,123
"In their first face-to-face
debate, Nico Della Guardia...

27
00:03:01,468 --> 00:03:03,836
"appeared to throw Raymond
Horgan off stride...

28
00:03:03,913 --> 00:03:06,751
"with an opening swipe at the
prosecuting attorney's...

29
00:03:06,828 --> 00:03:09,232
"twelve-year tenure
as an uninterrupted

30
00:03:09,233 --> 00:03:10,759
"retreat from reality...

31
00:03:11,152 --> 00:03:13,514
"and slow-motion
surrender to thugs,

32
00:03:13,515 --> 00:03:15,754
"punks and hand-wringing
liberals."

33
00:03:16,109 --> 00:03:17,873
The guy's unbelievable.

34
00:03:18,352 --> 00:03:20,408
I'm finally starting
to get used to

35
00:03:20,409 --> 00:03:22,351
that rug on Della Guardia's head.

36
00:03:22,983 --> 00:03:24,987
Don't eat standing up. Sit down.

37
00:03:25,064 --> 00:03:28,113
Food goes down easier. It
has the help of gravity.

38
00:03:28,343 --> 00:03:29,590
Oh, God.

39
00:03:30,663 --> 00:03:32,399
Yet another lawyer.

40
00:03:40,108 --> 00:03:43,157
I won't be home till late.
I got a game after school.

41
00:03:45,745 --> 00:03:48,507
Like his father, he doesn't
come home till he has to.

42
00:03:48,583 --> 00:03:51,632
If Raymond loses this election,
I could be home a lot.

43
00:04:32,209 --> 00:04:34,500
Rick, I looked this
over last night.

44
00:04:35,248 --> 00:04:36,581
Top count, max.

45
00:04:36,648 --> 00:04:38,259
It's a first offence.

46
00:04:38,489 --> 00:04:40,972
No plea to anything but
the A-1 felony. Period.

47
00:04:41,049 --> 00:04:42,295
On all of them?

48
00:04:42,410 --> 00:04:43,542
All of them.

49
00:04:43,609 --> 00:04:45,929
And no promises on the sentence.

50
00:04:48,652 --> 00:04:50,493
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

51
00:04:53,053 --> 00:04:54,415
This is for you.

52
00:04:55,766 --> 00:04:57,847
Someone put it under
the door last night.

53
00:04:57,924 --> 00:04:59,774
I found it when I came in.

54
00:05:03,648 --> 00:05:05,930
Mr Big Cheese wants
to see you now.

55
00:05:06,006 --> 00:05:07,291
I'll be right along.

56
00:05:07,368 --> 00:05:09,094
He said "now," now.

57
00:05:31,721 --> 00:05:33,054
What's wrong?

58
00:05:34,118 --> 00:05:36,563
Carolyn Polhemus was
murdered last night.

59
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,919
Her cleaning lady found
the body this morning.

60
00:05:39,996 --> 00:05:42,728
Some creep got into her
place and strangled her.

61
00:05:42,796 --> 00:05:45,806
It looks like she was
raped. He tied her up.

62
00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:49,756
He beat her with some
instrument and strangled her.

63
00:05:49,996 --> 00:05:52,527
No weapon. No sign
of forced entry.

64
00:05:53,918 --> 00:05:56,650
Unless you want me here, I'm
supposed to meet the coroner.

65
00:05:56,717 --> 00:05:59,239
That's all right. Go
on, get out of here.

66
00:06:00,035 --> 00:06:01,722
I can hear Della Guardia now.

67
00:06:01,799 --> 00:06:03,979
"If Raymond Horgan
can't protect his own

68
00:06:03,980 --> 00:06:06,162
attorneys, how can he
protect citizens?"

69
00:06:06,957 --> 00:06:10,006
Tommy Molto's secretary said
he wasn't coming in today.

70
00:06:10,793 --> 00:06:12,724
Some fucking Acting
Head of Homicide

71
00:06:12,725 --> 00:06:14,762
he turned out to be,
the little creep.

72
00:06:14,829 --> 00:06:17,725
I should have fired him
when we fired Nico.

73
00:06:18,310 --> 00:06:20,237
If I had balls, I'd do it now.

74
00:06:21,349 --> 00:06:23,832
I want you to handle
this case personally.

75
00:06:23,909 --> 00:06:25,836
I will assign it to somebody.

76
00:06:25,913 --> 00:06:27,878
Who will you assign
it to? Homicide?

77
00:06:27,955 --> 00:06:30,036
Tommy Molto? For Christ's sake.

78
00:06:31,148 --> 00:06:32,946
Della Guardia would
love that. Molto

79
00:06:32,947 --> 00:06:34,552
would tip him off on everything.

80
00:06:34,628 --> 00:06:36,756
They're so close you
can see Molto's

81
00:06:36,757 --> 00:06:39,116
nose sticking out of
Nico's bellybutton.

82
00:06:43,468 --> 00:06:44,753
Listen to me.

83
00:06:47,102 --> 00:06:48,435
What a waste.

84
00:06:49,825 --> 00:06:52,222
Beautiful, sexy gal.
Hell of a lawyer.

85
00:06:54,389 --> 00:06:56,863
That's her ending.
That's her Au revoir.

86
00:06:57,985 --> 00:06:59,874
The first thing we got
to think about...

87
00:06:59,941 --> 00:07:03,229
is what the public thinks in
the middle of an election.

88
00:07:07,860 --> 00:07:10,392
Take charge of this
one for me, okay?

89
00:07:11,139 --> 00:07:13,028
If you care about my health.

90
00:07:14,303 --> 00:07:16,700
You're the only around
here I can trust.

91
00:07:18,302 --> 00:07:20,370
Greer's a good
investigator, but I'd

92
00:07:20,371 --> 00:07:22,664
prefer someone I'm
used to working with.

93
00:07:22,942 --> 00:07:24,179
Lipranzer.

94
00:07:24,342 --> 00:07:25,752
Whatever you want.

95
00:07:26,816 --> 00:07:28,705
Just catch me a bad guy.

96
00:08:42,408 --> 00:08:43,846
So, I'm here.

97
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,090
What the hell was she
doing with a B file?

98
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:53,012
Bribery of elected officials. The
case number is on her computer.

99
00:08:53,079 --> 00:08:56,166
But the case itself isn't among
the papers in her files.

100
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,161
Why? Did she take it home? What?

101
00:08:58,237 --> 00:08:59,733
Maybe it was taken?

102
00:08:59,877 --> 00:09:01,727
Check the apartment.
What do you got here?

103
00:09:01,804 --> 00:09:03,770
Bunch of pictures of a dead lady.

104
00:09:03,837 --> 00:09:05,687
- No weapon found, yet?
- Nada.

105
00:09:05,841 --> 00:09:07,202
It's a weird one.

106
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:10,127
She was strangled by the ropes
but by the way he tied her...

107
00:09:10,203 --> 00:09:12,926
It's like he put himself
between her legs and pumped...

108
00:09:13,003 --> 00:09:14,941
so they tightened up like he was

109
00:09:14,942 --> 00:09:17,365
trying to let his
weight strangle her.

110
00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:19,686
Like he was trying to
fuck her to death.

111
00:09:19,753 --> 00:09:21,277
Look at the next one.

112
00:09:27,759 --> 00:09:29,982
Check the computer
for sex offenders

113
00:09:29,983 --> 00:09:32,208
and cross match on
Carolyn's name...

114
00:09:32,716 --> 00:09:34,796
or this business with the ropes.

115
00:09:36,637 --> 00:09:39,763
Find out which of the creeps
she put away is out on parole.

116
00:09:39,830 --> 00:09:42,127
I never did understand
why you put her in

117
00:09:42,128 --> 00:09:44,317
charge of rape and
all that sicko shit.

118
00:09:45,276 --> 00:09:47,673
She wanted it. And she was good.

119
00:09:48,316 --> 00:09:50,080
Yeah, too good, maybe.

120
00:09:51,192 --> 00:09:52,956
I'm not grabbing this, yet.

121
00:09:54,394 --> 00:09:55,554
You worked with this broad.

122
00:09:55,631 --> 00:09:59,160
She wouldn't leave her fucking
door and windows wide open.

123
00:09:59,227 --> 00:10:01,254
She was drinking with
him. She gave him a

124
00:10:01,255 --> 00:10:03,282
glass of beer, like
she was entertaining.

125
00:10:03,349 --> 00:10:05,190
- Fingerprints on the glass?
- Yeah.

126
00:10:05,267 --> 00:10:07,108
Greer sent it down to the lab.

127
00:10:07,185 --> 00:10:09,401
You mean somebody she
let in opened the

128
00:10:09,402 --> 00:10:11,509
windows so it looked
like a break-in?

129
00:10:11,825 --> 00:10:13,533
She wasn't going to let some sex

130
00:10:13,534 --> 00:10:15,670
maniac she sent to
jail in for a beer.

131
00:10:17,626 --> 00:10:20,071
On the other hand,
we're talking Carolyn.

132
00:10:21,222 --> 00:10:22,222
Mac...

133
00:10:22,583 --> 00:10:26,063
Tell me what Carolyn Polhemus
was doing with a bribery file.

134
00:10:26,946 --> 00:10:28,724
I had no idea Carolyn
was interested

135
00:10:28,725 --> 00:10:30,023
in crimes above the waist.

136
00:10:30,100 --> 00:10:33,580
It's on her computer, but not
on mine or the department's.

137
00:10:33,743 --> 00:10:35,268
That makes no sense.

138
00:10:35,786 --> 00:10:37,464
Why don't you ask Raymond?

139
00:10:38,183 --> 00:10:39,870
Ready for something else?

140
00:10:41,184 --> 00:10:42,622
Molto's left.

141
00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:46,697
His secretary came back from lunch
and found his desk cleaned out.

142
00:11:37,647 --> 00:11:38,932
Exercise?

143
00:11:40,332 --> 00:11:41,770
Masturbation.

144
00:11:43,093 --> 00:11:45,174
The refuge of the
lonely housewife.

145
00:11:47,533 --> 00:11:50,179
Missed the 8:35. I tried to
call, but you weren't here.

146
00:11:50,246 --> 00:11:53,333
Nat had dinner at Josh's, and
I was at the university.

147
00:11:53,448 --> 00:11:56,526
I tried to get in a little
extra time on the mainframe.

148
00:11:57,562 --> 00:11:58,933
Get anything done?

149
00:12:01,282 --> 00:12:02,365
Who am I kidding?

150
00:12:02,442 --> 00:12:05,491
Still working on my dissertation
at my age. It's ridiculous.

151
00:12:05,568 --> 00:12:08,137
You were the best
mathematician in your class.

152
00:12:08,607 --> 00:12:11,493
Second best just made
full professor at MIT.

153
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:13,967
All I've made are beds.

154
00:12:14,044 --> 00:12:16,095
And now, the Channel
Six local news.

155
00:12:16,162 --> 00:12:18,511
Carolyn Polhemus,
assistant prosecuting

156
00:12:18,512 --> 00:12:20,803
attorney in Raymond
Horgan's office...

157
00:12:21,081 --> 00:12:23,842
was found brutally murdered
in her Southside apartment.

158
00:12:23,919 --> 00:12:25,817
Police are about to
release a statement

159
00:12:25,818 --> 00:12:27,716
about the circumstances
of her death...

160
00:12:27,802 --> 00:12:28,886
You hear?

161
00:12:28,962 --> 00:12:32,280
Eugenia was thrilled to be
messenger of bad tidings.

162
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:35,808
Yeah, I'll bet.

163
00:12:36,604 --> 00:12:40,161
From top to bottom we are
riddled with cruelty.

164
00:12:40,363 --> 00:12:42,568
We must expose and punish it...

165
00:12:42,721 --> 00:12:46,643
especially when inflicted upon
the impotent and the ignored.

166
00:12:48,474 --> 00:12:50,766
You sound like a woman
with a mission.

167
00:12:51,475 --> 00:12:52,475
I am.

168
00:12:53,719 --> 00:12:55,636
The murder of Ms Polhemus...

169
00:12:57,717 --> 00:12:59,155
You have a suspect?

170
00:12:59,471 --> 00:13:01,236
We have diddly-shit.

171
00:13:05,876 --> 00:13:08,064
So Dan Lipranzer and
Rusty Sabich will

172
00:13:08,065 --> 00:13:10,085
work night and day
for two weeks...

173
00:13:10,191 --> 00:13:13,000
to catch Raymond a killer.
That's the strategy.

174
00:13:13,949 --> 00:13:16,270
You're in charge of
this investigation?

175
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:19,673
Raymond insisted I take it on.

176
00:13:21,591 --> 00:13:23,899
With 150 lawyers, they
couldn't find one

177
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:26,040
who didn't fuck her
to put in charge?

178
00:13:29,233 --> 00:13:30,719
Did you tell Raymond?

179
00:13:31,304 --> 00:13:34,276
This is a conflict of interest.
Is that professional?

180
00:13:36,826 --> 00:13:39,147
Barbara, I'm Raymond's
chief deputy.

181
00:13:39,463 --> 00:13:41,390
You are so predictable.

182
00:13:43,385 --> 00:13:45,868
It's your way of reliving
the whole thing.

183
00:13:46,107 --> 00:13:48,754
She's dead and you're
still obsessing.

184
00:13:59,943 --> 00:14:00,943
Rusty.

185
00:14:01,861 --> 00:14:02,867
Nico.

186
00:14:03,385 --> 00:14:04,986
She was just...

187
00:14:06,022 --> 00:14:08,419
- Splendid.
- That's it. Very good.

188
00:14:09,301 --> 00:14:12,033
Raymond's pressing hard
on that case, I imagine.

189
00:14:12,657 --> 00:14:15,140
Raymond presses hard
on every case, Nico.

190
00:14:15,380 --> 00:14:18,381
You know who would've
been hard to beat? You.

191
00:14:19,301 --> 00:14:21,535
You would've been
tough. Very tough.

192
00:14:22,062 --> 00:14:25,064
You are really something.
Where's Tommy Molto?

193
00:14:25,577 --> 00:14:26,577
Molto?

194
00:14:26,578 --> 00:14:29,503
I thought he'd come to the funeral
of his favourite colleague.

195
00:14:29,579 --> 00:14:31,737
You must really have
him scrambling.

196
00:14:36,694 --> 00:14:37,854
Judge.

197
00:14:43,252 --> 00:14:44,853
Who's that with Raymond?

198
00:14:44,978 --> 00:14:47,212
I'm told that's her ex-husband.

199
00:14:49,455 --> 00:14:51,220
I didn't know she had one.

200
00:14:53,492 --> 00:14:55,256
Teaches college some place.

201
00:14:55,534 --> 00:14:57,615
Carolyn Polhemus worked for me.

202
00:14:58,890 --> 00:15:00,050
I hired her...

203
00:15:00,367 --> 00:15:02,217
over the objections of...

204
00:15:02,725 --> 00:15:06,369
many of our prosecutors who felt
she just didn't have the stuff.

205
00:15:07,567 --> 00:15:09,935
I see those prosecutors
here today...

206
00:15:11,527 --> 00:15:13,771
along with the
judges she defied...

207
00:15:14,892 --> 00:15:17,462
and the defence
attorneys she defeated.

208
00:15:19,686 --> 00:15:21,288
Why are they all here?

209
00:15:23,042 --> 00:15:26,254
They're here because Carolyn
Polhemus stood for something.

210
00:15:27,846 --> 00:15:29,687
She stood for justice.

211
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:48,527
The Prosecutor's Office,
under my leadership...

212
00:15:48,604 --> 00:15:50,732
has a conviction rate
of over 91 percent.

213
00:15:50,799 --> 00:15:52,765
Mr Della Guardia, or...

214
00:15:53,398 --> 00:15:55,181
as he is known to those of us who

215
00:15:55,182 --> 00:15:57,291
have had to work
with him, "Delay"...

216
00:15:57,597 --> 00:15:59,409
There's food here for 100 people.

217
00:15:59,477 --> 00:16:00,886
A lot of no-shows.

218
00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:03,206
They smell a loser.

219
00:16:04,157 --> 00:16:05,157
Good speech.

220
00:16:05,157 --> 00:16:07,444
What the hell is
happening with Carolyn?

221
00:16:08,154 --> 00:16:09,563
Everything's in the works.

222
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,652
I reassigned her cases,
and this afternoon

223
00:16:11,653 --> 00:16:13,245
I got to deal with Molto's stuff.

224
00:16:13,312 --> 00:16:15,402
What's with this
reassignment shit?

225
00:16:15,479 --> 00:16:16,917
Goddamn it, Rusty.

226
00:16:17,118 --> 00:16:20,120
I told you to give this
investigation top priority.

227
00:16:21,318 --> 00:16:22,994
Nico is eating me alive with this

228
00:16:22,995 --> 00:16:24,875
thing. The election
is in ten days.

229
00:16:24,952 --> 00:16:27,684
If you don't find Carolyn's
killer, we are both history.

230
00:16:27,752 --> 00:16:30,877
Turn all of that administrative
bullshit to Mac.

231
00:16:31,232 --> 00:16:33,159
Mac has more than she can handle.

232
00:16:33,236 --> 00:16:36,285
And let me remind you, we
lost two key PA's in one day.

233
00:16:36,467 --> 00:16:38,360
You only have time
for the election.

234
00:16:38,361 --> 00:16:39,794
I've got to run the office.

235
00:16:39,871 --> 00:16:42,872
Fuck the office. Don't you
see what's happening?

236
00:16:42,987 --> 00:16:46,199
If you don't find me a killer,
there is no fucking office.

237
00:16:47,666 --> 00:16:50,235
I want you right on top of
Carolyn's case, understand?

238
00:16:50,312 --> 00:16:52,482
Run out every ground
ball and do it

239
00:16:52,483 --> 00:16:54,473
in an orderly goddamned fashion.

240
00:16:56,506 --> 00:16:58,913
Start acting like a
fucking professional.

241
00:16:59,028 --> 00:17:01,396
The campaign is a total disaster.

242
00:17:01,866 --> 00:17:03,531
Haven't taken a poll in two weeks.

243
00:17:03,532 --> 00:17:05,394
We don't know where
the hell we are.

244
00:17:05,461 --> 00:17:08,510
You're ten minutes late for the
bar meeting on criminal procedure.

245
00:17:08,587 --> 00:17:10,984
Call them and tell
them I'm on my way.

246
00:17:15,941 --> 00:17:18,347
Did you assign a bribery
case to Carolyn?

247
00:17:18,741 --> 00:17:20,351
There's a file missing.

248
00:17:20,821 --> 00:17:24,110
Loretta, find my driver. Tell
him to be ready to leave.

249
00:17:24,225 --> 00:17:27,149
She had a case on her computer
we can't account for.

250
00:17:27,466 --> 00:17:29,546
It was logged in as a B file.

251
00:17:32,423 --> 00:17:34,657
Nobody knows where it came from.

252
00:17:36,776 --> 00:17:38,022
Nobody knows where it went.

253
00:17:38,099 --> 00:17:41,263
Where the hell is my speech?
It was right here on my desk.

254
00:17:41,339 --> 00:17:42,672
Cody has it.

255
00:17:42,902 --> 00:17:44,820
You're giving me a runaround.

256
00:17:45,855 --> 00:17:48,904
Cody, pull the car around.
I'll meet you down in front.

257
00:17:49,700 --> 00:17:52,174
Give me a straight
answer, will you, Boss?

258
00:18:02,414 --> 00:18:05,703
There's the B file, Tiger.
Read it, and we'll talk.

259
00:18:08,895 --> 00:18:09,940
"Dear Mr Horgan.

260
00:18:10,017 --> 00:18:12,052
"This is about a
deputy prosecuting

261
00:18:12,053 --> 00:18:13,862
"attorney who is taking bribes.

262
00:18:13,977 --> 00:18:17,179
"Five years ago, a person I'll
call 'Noel' got arrested.

263
00:18:17,256 --> 00:18:19,941
"I gave him $1,500 to
pay somebody off.

264
00:18:21,053 --> 00:18:22,683
"We went out to North Branch.

265
00:18:22,683 --> 00:18:24,735
"A secretary who seemed
to know Noel,

266
00:18:24,850 --> 00:18:27,164
"took him into the
PA's office, where a

267
00:18:27,165 --> 00:18:29,538
"man he could not see
talked behind him.

268
00:18:30,171 --> 00:18:32,041
"Ten days later,
Noel went to court

269
00:18:32,042 --> 00:18:34,016
"and a lawyer from
the PA's office...

270
00:18:34,131 --> 00:18:37,180
"told the judge that the
case was dismissed.

271
00:18:37,448 --> 00:18:40,258
"I can't remember the lawyer's
name. I hope you get him.

272
00:18:40,325 --> 00:18:43,374
"I hope you get Noel,
too. He has let me down."

273
00:18:44,007 --> 00:18:45,771
- Unsigned.
- Unsigned.

274
00:18:46,806 --> 00:18:48,331
Five years ago.

275
00:18:48,609 --> 00:18:50,526
That guy must write real slow.

276
00:18:51,121 --> 00:18:52,856
"Noel equals Leon."

277
00:18:54,323 --> 00:18:56,251
This is Carolyn's handwriting.

278
00:18:56,327 --> 00:18:59,290
Looks like she went to North
Branch to see Kenneally.

279
00:19:08,197 --> 00:19:10,441
You'll love what I
got from Painless.

280
00:19:14,717 --> 00:19:16,846
There's this guy's semen
inside her vagina...

281
00:19:16,922 --> 00:19:18,523
but there's nothing outside.

282
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,445
Painless figures she didn't spend
much time on her feet after sex.

283
00:19:22,723 --> 00:19:25,446
He says, normally, he'd see
the guy's little thingies...

284
00:19:25,523 --> 00:19:27,237
swimming upstream
in the womb, when

285
00:19:27,238 --> 00:19:28,763
he looked under the microscope.

286
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,237
Instead, this guy's was all dead.

287
00:19:31,995 --> 00:19:33,807
Nothing went nowhere.

288
00:19:33,912 --> 00:19:36,002
So Painless figures he's sterile.

289
00:19:36,597 --> 00:19:38,361
He's got blood type A.

290
00:19:39,512 --> 00:19:40,844
My very own.

291
00:19:41,237 --> 00:19:43,884
I thought of that.
But you got a kid.

292
00:19:46,434 --> 00:19:47,719
Anything from hair or fibre?

293
00:19:47,796 --> 00:19:49,713
No hair or skin fragments
under her nails.

294
00:19:49,790 --> 00:19:51,602
Carolyn would've fought back.

295
00:19:51,669 --> 00:19:54,200
Maybe she was playing sex
games with the wrong guy.

296
00:19:54,277 --> 00:19:57,556
The rope is K-Mart, Sears,
Walgreen's. You name it.

297
00:19:57,748 --> 00:20:01,315
They found carpet fibres from
some other location. Zorak V.

298
00:20:01,468 --> 00:20:03,520
It's only the biggest seller.

299
00:20:04,795 --> 00:20:07,393
You call the Fingerprint
Lab on the bar glass?

300
00:20:08,506 --> 00:20:09,675
Oh, I forgot.

301
00:20:09,752 --> 00:20:12,072
You are a class-A
fuck-up, you know?

302
00:20:12,149 --> 00:20:14,441
They ain't going to
expedite it for me.

303
00:20:14,508 --> 00:20:17,720
I got the phone company
printout on her apartment.

304
00:20:20,309 --> 00:20:22,601
I notice that one
of the numbers that

305
00:20:22,601 --> 00:20:24,834
comes up is yours a
number of times.

306
00:20:25,103 --> 00:20:27,078
At the office. We were
working cases together.

307
00:20:27,145 --> 00:20:28,986
No, she's calling your home.

308
00:20:32,504 --> 00:20:34,556
She never called me at home.

309
00:20:44,183 --> 00:20:45,832
I made these calls...

310
00:20:46,465 --> 00:20:48,833
to Barbara from
Carolyn's apartment.

311
00:20:50,185 --> 00:20:51,671
"Late again, kid.

312
00:20:52,745 --> 00:20:55,554
"This trial's a bitch. I'll
catch dinner in town."

313
00:21:00,818 --> 00:21:02,898
I'd just as soon you'd let it go.

314
00:21:05,142 --> 00:21:09,140
If Barbara sees a phone company
subpoena, now, she'll bust a gut.

315
00:21:13,455 --> 00:21:16,187
Under the circumstances,
if you don't mind...

316
00:21:17,137 --> 00:21:18,661
I'd appreciate it.

317
00:21:22,094 --> 00:21:23,541
I gave Barbara...

318
00:21:26,571 --> 00:21:28,019
enough pain.

319
00:21:32,094 --> 00:21:33,935
Polhemus was bad news.

320
00:21:35,536 --> 00:21:38,662
Know what they're calling you
and your partner downtown?

321
00:21:38,729 --> 00:21:39,729
Spare me.

322
00:21:39,774 --> 00:21:41,576
"Mission Impossible."

323
00:21:41,931 --> 00:21:44,616
Guerasch, bring that
shit in my office.

324
00:21:45,373 --> 00:21:47,348
So you're figuring
what? The guy she

325
00:21:47,349 --> 00:21:49,218
was having cocktails with did her?

326
00:21:49,295 --> 00:21:53,140
I figure it was somebody who knew
what he wanted it to look like.

327
00:21:53,245 --> 00:21:55,297
Cop. PA. A private dick.

328
00:21:55,891 --> 00:21:58,940
Remember that lady PA who
was here four months ago?

329
00:21:59,046 --> 00:22:00,494
Yeah, nice set of lungs.

330
00:22:00,570 --> 00:22:03,619
This kid's gonna make a copper.
Never forgets a bra size.

331
00:22:03,686 --> 00:22:05,614
He wants to know what
she was looking for.

332
00:22:05,690 --> 00:22:08,500
She was looking for someone
by the name of Noel.

333
00:22:10,810 --> 00:22:12,929
It took me a week
to find this crap.

334
00:22:13,006 --> 00:22:15,767
Five years back, they
booked 150 a day then.

335
00:22:15,921 --> 00:22:17,215
Public indecency.

336
00:22:17,282 --> 00:22:19,526
They were cleaning
out the faggots.

337
00:22:19,602 --> 00:22:22,603
Back when Raymond got some
balls for a day and a half.

338
00:22:24,003 --> 00:22:26,084
- She find anything?
- I don't know.

339
00:22:26,247 --> 00:22:29,766
When I gave these files to
her, they were in nice order.

340
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:32,287
The bitch just trashed them.

341
00:22:32,479 --> 00:22:35,250
She never gave a shit about
anybody else's work.

342
00:22:35,442 --> 00:22:37,359
One's completely missing. Look.

343
00:22:37,446 --> 00:22:39,843
See right here? It skips a number.

344
00:22:41,118 --> 00:22:42,805
Tommy Molto been looking at these?

345
00:22:42,882 --> 00:22:44,924
What does Molto have
to do with this?

346
00:22:45,001 --> 00:22:47,245
Would there still be a
court file on this case?

347
00:22:47,321 --> 00:22:50,725
That far back, it'd have to be
in storage on microfilm by now.

348
00:22:55,922 --> 00:22:58,242
You don't want to say what
this is about, maybe?

349
00:22:58,319 --> 00:22:59,997
Gee, Lionel, I can't.

350
00:23:00,792 --> 00:23:02,959
She used to ask about
you, you know.

351
00:23:03,036 --> 00:23:04,916
Five, six years ago
when she worked

352
00:23:04,917 --> 00:23:06,641
out here as a probation officer.

353
00:23:06,718 --> 00:23:08,463
Five years ago I didn't know her.

354
00:23:08,464 --> 00:23:09,464
Sure you did.

355
00:23:09,465 --> 00:23:11,598
The night you brought
the Night Saints in.

356
00:23:11,675 --> 00:23:14,120
You were hot stuff. A
regular fucking hero.

357
00:23:14,196 --> 00:23:16,430
Breaking the meanest guy
this side of Watts.

358
00:23:16,517 --> 00:23:19,441
There was a lot of talk you'd
end up in Horgan's job.

359
00:23:19,508 --> 00:23:21,752
She wanted to know
what you were like.

360
00:23:22,231 --> 00:23:24,475
I told her you didn't fuck around.

361
00:23:26,316 --> 00:23:27,840
Dad, look who's here.

362
00:23:29,595 --> 00:23:32,279
- How are you?
- Good. Mum's in a good mood.

363
00:23:32,347 --> 00:23:34,159
How'd you know I'd
be on this ferry?

364
00:23:34,226 --> 00:23:35,722
Took a chance.

365
00:23:37,352 --> 00:23:38,713
How was your day?

366
00:23:39,346 --> 00:23:42,721
Well, I figured out today,
it's ten years this week...

367
00:23:43,191 --> 00:23:45,588
that I'm working on
my dissertation.

368
00:23:45,990 --> 00:23:48,953
I thought we'd celebrate.
Going to take us to dinner?

369
00:23:50,871 --> 00:23:53,191
Why don't you just give
up on that dissertation?

370
00:23:53,268 --> 00:23:54,993
It makes you miserable.

371
00:23:55,502 --> 00:23:57,505
Your mum's not a giver-upper.

372
00:23:58,388 --> 00:23:59,596
Maybe that's her problem.

373
00:23:59,663 --> 00:24:01,906
I sure wouldn't do
maths unless I had to.

374
00:24:01,983 --> 00:24:04,227
You got my genes in
the maths department.

375
00:24:04,303 --> 00:24:06,873
If not for your mum, I'd
still be taking algebra.

376
00:24:06,940 --> 00:24:08,867
I had to be good at something.

377
00:24:09,107 --> 00:24:10,948
You were good at everything.

378
00:24:11,667 --> 00:24:12,865
School.

379
00:24:14,505 --> 00:24:16,231
Did you ever cheat?

380
00:24:16,586 --> 00:24:18,580
Like borrow someone
else's homework?

381
00:24:18,657 --> 00:24:20,987
Copy it and pretend it was mine?

382
00:24:22,981 --> 00:24:24,581
Why do I have the feeling that

383
00:24:24,582 --> 00:24:26,663
question has some
personal relevance?

384
00:24:26,941 --> 00:24:28,388
I didn't say I did.

385
00:24:28,743 --> 00:24:30,181
It's all right, kid.

386
00:24:32,703 --> 00:24:34,697
It's good to see you guys happy.

387
00:24:42,013 --> 00:24:43,013
Pretty.

388
00:24:44,372 --> 00:24:45,503
It's new.

389
00:24:46,980 --> 00:24:48,418
It's very pretty.

390
00:25:39,762 --> 00:25:41,765
Mr Polhemus? I'm Rusty Sabich.

391
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,732
Seems so strange to be talking
about her after all these years.

392
00:25:47,566 --> 00:25:50,011
You hadn't had much
contact with her, then?

393
00:25:50,164 --> 00:25:51,890
None since she left.

394
00:25:52,887 --> 00:25:54,249
What about her family?

395
00:25:54,326 --> 00:25:56,799
I have no idea where
she came from.

396
00:25:57,202 --> 00:25:59,495
She lied her way
into the university.

397
00:25:59,496 --> 00:26:01,488
Made up some kind of background.

398
00:26:03,118 --> 00:26:05,198
She was very good
at playing roles.

399
00:26:07,682 --> 00:26:10,050
When she left me,
I lost all pride.

400
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,246
I begged her not to leave.

401
00:26:13,041 --> 00:26:16,359
The last time she looked at
me, it was with disgust.

402
00:26:16,522 --> 00:26:20,079
Disgust that somebody she'd
looked up to could be so weak.

403
00:26:20,875 --> 00:26:24,883
At that moment, I had the most
desperate wish that she were dead.

404
00:26:28,075 --> 00:26:30,107
Maybe she made a
man feel like that

405
00:26:30,108 --> 00:26:32,083
who actually acted on his fantasy.

406
00:26:33,953 --> 00:26:37,481
Would you like to see what she
looked like at that time?

407
00:26:40,396 --> 00:26:41,681
Yes, I would.

408
00:26:43,915 --> 00:26:46,724
They were taken at about
the time we were married.

409
00:27:01,346 --> 00:27:03,158
This isn't just work?

410
00:27:05,747 --> 00:27:06,747
No.

411
00:27:26,466 --> 00:27:28,599
On the Polhemus thing,
what the fuck is

412
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,628
happening to the
fingerprints report?

413
00:27:30,944 --> 00:27:32,944
Don't give me that
computer crap. You

414
00:27:32,945 --> 00:27:34,789
know I don't understand that shit.

415
00:27:35,345 --> 00:27:38,077
They want to know how big a
field you want it run against?

416
00:27:38,145 --> 00:27:39,669
We could do convicted felons...

417
00:27:39,746 --> 00:27:42,708
anybody ever fingerprinted,
county employees, etc.

418
00:27:42,862 --> 00:27:46,074
Just do felons. We'll do
the rest if we need them.

419
00:27:46,381 --> 00:27:48,586
Do them all. I may
never get back on.

420
00:27:48,663 --> 00:27:50,628
Do everybody. How soon?

421
00:27:51,903 --> 00:27:53,428
What the fuck takes a week?

422
00:27:53,495 --> 00:27:55,902
The man has the biggest
murder case in the city...

423
00:27:55,978 --> 00:27:57,982
and he has to kiss your ring?

424
00:27:58,778 --> 00:28:00,379
I know. I know.

425
00:28:02,134 --> 00:28:05,029
We don't have jurisdiction
over the computer.

426
00:28:07,532 --> 00:28:10,859
- A week. Probably ten days.
- I need them yesterday.

427
00:28:11,338 --> 00:28:14,263
I'll push, but I don't think
you'll see them any sooner.

428
00:28:14,339 --> 00:28:16,074
Have your copper
get the glass back

429
00:28:16,075 --> 00:28:17,858
from Evidence and
down to the lab...

430
00:28:17,935 --> 00:28:19,987
in case they need it for anything.

431
00:28:22,451 --> 00:28:23,975
Ah, Mr Sabich.

432
00:28:24,733 --> 00:28:26,545
Real important stuff.

433
00:28:26,813 --> 00:28:29,134
We got the chief deputy with us.

434
00:28:29,575 --> 00:28:31,895
Lipranzer and I were
wondering, on your report...

435
00:28:31,972 --> 00:28:34,133
are you indicating
the guy bashed her

436
00:28:34,134 --> 00:28:36,296
after she was strangled
by the ropes?

437
00:28:36,449 --> 00:28:37,782
Read the fucking report.

438
00:28:37,849 --> 00:28:39,009
This report?

439
00:28:39,134 --> 00:28:42,097
No, not that report. My
report. The autopsy.

440
00:28:45,692 --> 00:28:47,686
See anything with bruises
on the wrists...

441
00:28:47,773 --> 00:28:50,659
bruises on the ankles,
bruises on the knees?

442
00:28:50,726 --> 00:28:53,573
Are you saying she was
raped and then tied up?

443
00:28:53,688 --> 00:28:55,414
Tied up last, yeah.

444
00:28:55,769 --> 00:28:58,339
She already died from
multiple head injuries.

445
00:28:58,722 --> 00:29:00,774
Rape? Now I'm thinking...

446
00:29:01,685 --> 00:29:02,685
No.

447
00:29:02,922 --> 00:29:03,922
Why?

448
00:29:04,686 --> 00:29:06,134
Read the fucking report.

449
00:29:06,201 --> 00:29:07,572
- This report?
- No.

450
00:29:08,684 --> 00:29:10,525
This report? The chemist's report?

451
00:29:10,602 --> 00:29:12,366
Yeah, the chemist's report.

452
00:29:12,682 --> 00:29:16,211
She had a two percent solution
of nonoxynol-9 in her vagina.

453
00:29:16,364 --> 00:29:18,369
A spermicide used
with a diaphragm.

454
00:29:18,370 --> 00:29:20,209
That's why his sperms were dead.

455
00:29:20,324 --> 00:29:23,248
Diaphragm? You missed a
diaphragm in the autopsy?

456
00:29:23,881 --> 00:29:27,361
No. You've been to autopsies.
You slice her wide open.

457
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,691
No diaphragm in that lady.

458
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,484
What happened to it?

459
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,402
Somebody took it.

460
00:29:35,559 --> 00:29:37,371
I think it's a set-up.

461
00:29:37,879 --> 00:29:39,241
This man...

462
00:29:39,557 --> 00:29:42,367
is her lover. He comes
over. They have drinks.

463
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,125
This lady has intercourse
with him. Real nice. Okay?

464
00:29:46,758 --> 00:29:49,970
But he's an angry guy. Picks
up something, kills her.

465
00:29:50,075 --> 00:29:52,281
Tries to make it look like rape.

466
00:29:52,396 --> 00:29:53,681
Ties her up.

467
00:29:53,796 --> 00:29:55,560
Pulls out the diaphragm.

468
00:29:56,317 --> 00:29:58,081
That's what I think.

469
00:30:00,517 --> 00:30:02,358
What does Tommy Molto think?

470
00:30:05,071 --> 00:30:07,072
You got his phone
number right there.

471
00:30:07,073 --> 00:30:09,232
Want to jot it down
in case you need it?

472
00:30:10,076 --> 00:30:11,485
Next time you talk to him...

473
00:30:11,553 --> 00:30:13,441
tell him to call me
so I can find out...

474
00:30:13,508 --> 00:30:16,404
what's going on in my own
fucking investigation.

475
00:30:17,631 --> 00:30:18,839
Painless...

476
00:30:19,146 --> 00:30:21,677
you tell Molto, and
you tell Nico, too...

477
00:30:21,754 --> 00:30:24,324
that this is cheap,
cheap politics.

478
00:30:24,468 --> 00:30:26,519
Cheap Police Department bullshit.

479
00:30:26,711 --> 00:30:28,843
God better help them
and help you, too.

480
00:30:28,844 --> 00:30:30,709
I can't make a case for tampering.

481
00:30:31,352 --> 00:30:33,440
Our poll shows Della
Guardia's leading

482
00:30:33,441 --> 00:30:35,638
Horgan by four percent.
Eight days left.

483
00:30:36,472 --> 00:30:38,121
At least it's made somebody happy.

484
00:30:38,188 --> 00:30:40,029
I don't want to see
you out of here.

485
00:30:40,106 --> 00:30:41,918
Come on, pal. We're old news.

486
00:30:41,985 --> 00:30:43,903
I'd miss you. Who
else here can talk

487
00:30:43,904 --> 00:30:46,031
morality and ethics
and not break me up?

488
00:30:46,108 --> 00:30:48,264
Voters smell an
exhausted man who's

489
00:30:48,265 --> 00:30:50,662
lost sight of all the
important issues.

490
00:30:51,026 --> 00:30:52,465
Issues? Bullshit.

491
00:30:52,628 --> 00:30:55,830
The only issue is Raymond Horgan
has respect for the law...

492
00:30:55,983 --> 00:30:58,053
and Nico Della Guardia
will fuck the

493
00:30:58,054 --> 00:31:00,068
law for politics.
That's the issue.

494
00:31:03,184 --> 00:31:04,229
Rusty...

495
00:31:05,102 --> 00:31:07,259
have you ever been
to an Irish wake?

496
00:31:08,860 --> 00:31:11,180
Come on over and pull up a glass.

497
00:31:12,139 --> 00:31:15,025
Know what Della Guardia
is going to find out?

498
00:31:15,380 --> 00:31:17,432
You run for office because...

499
00:31:18,218 --> 00:31:21,545
you think you can make people
do things, make things better.

500
00:31:21,622 --> 00:31:22,820
But you can't.

501
00:31:22,974 --> 00:31:24,220
Nobody can.

502
00:31:25,217 --> 00:31:27,017
You get a few
potholes filled, keep

503
00:31:27,018 --> 00:31:28,669
the lid on the best way you can.

504
00:31:28,736 --> 00:31:30,021
But in the end...

505
00:31:30,097 --> 00:31:33,223
All you can do is try to
hang on to the fucking job.

506
00:31:37,260 --> 00:31:39,781
I never used to drink
when I started here.

507
00:31:40,098 --> 00:31:43,300
Then, you still believed you
could make a difference.

508
00:31:45,735 --> 00:31:47,816
Funny, part of me still does.

509
00:31:50,213 --> 00:31:52,265
A guy as tough as you are...

510
00:31:52,888 --> 00:31:55,975
you're still hanging on to
the shreds of your ideals.

511
00:31:56,493 --> 00:31:58,382
The shreds are all I got.

512
00:32:00,453 --> 00:32:02,217
You're a good man, Rusty.

513
00:32:04,614 --> 00:32:05,899
God bless you.

514
00:32:09,725 --> 00:32:11,652
So, tell me, who's our bad guy?

515
00:32:12,927 --> 00:32:15,660
It could be a boyfriend.
Some guy she picked up.

516
00:32:17,731 --> 00:32:19,655
Whoever it is knew
enough about her

517
00:32:19,656 --> 00:32:21,527
to know what to make it look like.

518
00:32:21,882 --> 00:32:24,203
Could be a law-enforcement type.

519
00:32:26,724 --> 00:32:27,731
Jesus.

520
00:32:27,808 --> 00:32:29,092
One of us.

521
00:32:39,764 --> 00:32:41,681
You and Carolyn have a thing?

522
00:32:42,046 --> 00:32:43,763
Don't beat around the bush. Just

523
00:32:43,764 --> 00:32:45,804
come right out and
ask the question.

524
00:32:49,083 --> 00:32:53,168
I'll say that the decedent and I
were both single and both adults.

525
00:32:54,683 --> 00:32:56,284
I had a thing with her.

526
00:32:56,917 --> 00:32:59,323
She thought like everybody
else thought...

527
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,557
that I wasn't going to run again.

528
00:33:01,883 --> 00:33:05,364
That I could just hand the
mantle over to anyone I chose,

529
00:33:07,358 --> 00:33:09,122
so why not a broad?

530
00:33:09,439 --> 00:33:10,647
Why not her?

531
00:33:12,718 --> 00:33:13,878
One more question?

532
00:33:13,955 --> 00:33:16,850
I gave her the B file because
she asked me for it.

533
00:33:19,391 --> 00:33:21,155
Because I was fucking her.

534
00:33:22,919 --> 00:33:24,041
Stupid, huh?

535
00:33:25,710 --> 00:33:27,924
She went over to Northside,

536
00:33:29,593 --> 00:33:31,836
shovelled through the records.

537
00:33:32,996 --> 00:33:34,837
There wasn't anything there.

538
00:33:37,714 --> 00:33:39,794
At least that's what she told me.

539
00:33:42,671 --> 00:33:44,636
What are you going to do now?

540
00:33:45,192 --> 00:33:46,841
Once the party's over?

541
00:33:47,311 --> 00:33:48,471
I don't know.

542
00:33:49,066 --> 00:33:50,562
I got an idea.

543
00:33:51,952 --> 00:33:54,272
Suppose we try to get
you on the bench.

544
00:33:54,512 --> 00:33:58,194
I should still have enough clout
to pull that off. What do you say?

545
00:33:58,826 --> 00:34:01,358
Why don't we just see
what the future holds.

546
00:34:06,027 --> 00:34:08,108
Would that have satisfied her?

547
00:34:08,462 --> 00:34:09,517
What's that?

548
00:34:09,584 --> 00:34:10,668
A judgeship.

549
00:34:10,744 --> 00:34:14,071
I wonder if a judgeship would've
satisfied Carolyn Polhemus.

550
00:34:28,981 --> 00:34:29,981
Rusty.

551
00:34:30,026 --> 00:34:33,180
Come say hello to Carolyn
Polhemus. Have you met?

552
00:34:33,899 --> 00:34:35,309
I've seen Rusty.

553
00:34:35,501 --> 00:34:38,818
I want to bring Carolyn on board
as a prosecuting attorney.

554
00:34:39,019 --> 00:34:41,424
She's been working
probation, Northside,

555
00:34:41,425 --> 00:34:43,420
and she just passed her bar exam.

556
00:34:44,216 --> 00:34:45,501
Congratulations.

557
00:34:45,578 --> 00:34:46,709
Thank you.

558
00:34:46,814 --> 00:34:49,259
She comes very highly recommended.

559
00:34:50,659 --> 00:34:53,133
Why don't we see if we can
find a nice place for her.

560
00:34:53,219 --> 00:34:55,137
I'd like the Index Division.

561
00:34:55,453 --> 00:34:57,860
That's not a job,
it's a jail sentence.

562
00:34:58,100 --> 00:35:00,544
Rape, sex crimes,
child molestation.

563
00:35:01,254 --> 00:35:03,018
We can do better than that.

564
00:35:03,459 --> 00:35:05,384
It's hard to get a
conviction on a rape.

565
00:35:05,385 --> 00:35:07,218
It's a dead-end for
someone ambitious.

566
00:35:07,294 --> 00:35:10,823
So you get the worst attorneys
trying the hardest cases?

567
00:35:11,935 --> 00:35:15,300
Listen to this. We got another
idealist in the office.

568
00:35:24,256 --> 00:35:26,010
He's five years old.

569
00:35:26,490 --> 00:35:29,855
The doctors found 23 healed
fractures from old wounds.

570
00:35:31,926 --> 00:35:34,007
Victim of his own beloved mother.

571
00:35:35,445 --> 00:35:36,893
I need your help.

572
00:35:37,525 --> 00:35:39,136
Your wife called.

573
00:35:42,406 --> 00:35:44,170
Why don't you fire her?

574
00:35:44,889 --> 00:35:47,257
Civil service. They're
here forever.

575
00:35:47,324 --> 00:35:49,120
Why don't you give
this to Nancy. You

576
00:35:49,121 --> 00:35:50,728
haven't had experience with kids.

577
00:35:50,805 --> 00:35:52,569
Nancy's not available.

578
00:35:52,684 --> 00:35:55,733
And, besides, I'd like
to try this case myself.

579
00:35:57,842 --> 00:35:59,127
With your help.

580
00:35:59,846 --> 00:36:01,447
Outline it for me.

581
00:36:02,483 --> 00:36:03,892
About a month ago,

582
00:36:03,959 --> 00:36:07,210
the mother brought him into the
West End Pavilion Hospital.

583
00:36:07,287 --> 00:36:10,010
The boy was unconscious
from severe head injuries.

584
00:36:10,086 --> 00:36:11,687
She said he fell.

585
00:36:11,764 --> 00:36:13,174
The doctor says,

586
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,553
the head wounds were
too symmetrical

587
00:36:15,554 --> 00:36:17,124
to be the result of a fall.

588
00:36:17,517 --> 00:36:18,965
He told me...

589
00:36:19,118 --> 00:36:21,179
he was treating a
child whose mother

590
00:36:21,180 --> 00:36:22,963
had crushed his head in a vice.

591
00:36:24,842 --> 00:36:27,210
We have any proof it was the
mother? You got the vice?

592
00:36:27,278 --> 00:36:29,444
Just the testimony of the child.

593
00:36:29,636 --> 00:36:31,353
When he sees the mother in the

594
00:36:31,354 --> 00:36:33,644
courtroom, he'll
recant. An iffy case.

595
00:36:34,593 --> 00:36:37,076
I've examined him
several times and...

596
00:36:37,633 --> 00:36:39,320
I think he's begun to trust me.

597
00:36:39,397 --> 00:36:43,165
Look, how many child abuse cases
does this office handle in a year?

598
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:44,478
Over a thousand.

599
00:36:44,555 --> 00:36:46,482
Every one of them terrible.

600
00:36:47,077 --> 00:36:48,879
Every one of them heartbreaking.

601
00:36:48,956 --> 00:36:52,120
But I can't stop everything
else to take care of one case.

602
00:36:52,197 --> 00:36:55,198
You're going to have to get
somebody else to help you.

603
00:36:55,831 --> 00:36:57,758
You don't like me, do you?

604
00:36:59,512 --> 00:37:01,996
I think you've turned out to
be a damn good prosecutor.

605
00:37:02,072 --> 00:37:04,536
You're angry I didn't
have to go through

606
00:37:04,537 --> 00:37:06,521
the channels like everyone else.

607
00:37:07,307 --> 00:37:09,963
Clearly, you're not
like everyone else.

608
00:37:10,069 --> 00:37:11,951
You think I got this job because I

609
00:37:11,952 --> 00:37:14,278
fucked some fat-cat
friend of Raymond's.

610
00:37:17,749 --> 00:37:19,158
Look, it's late.

611
00:37:22,111 --> 00:37:24,508
Come on, I'll drive
you to your ferry.

612
00:37:27,749 --> 00:37:29,906
This is not the way to the ferry.

613
00:37:30,309 --> 00:37:32,073
I want you to meet somebody.

614
00:37:32,150 --> 00:37:34,269
Wendell, this is Rusty Sabich.

615
00:37:36,944 --> 00:37:39,552
He's a very important
man in our office.

616
00:37:39,782 --> 00:37:42,591
He's going to help me
when we go to court.

617
00:37:43,540 --> 00:37:45,784
Remember what I told
you about court?

618
00:37:46,062 --> 00:37:47,107
Yeah.

619
00:37:47,826 --> 00:37:49,264
Now, tell me.

620
00:37:50,300 --> 00:37:52,505
There's a judge and
some nice people.

621
00:37:52,582 --> 00:37:54,394
They're called a jury.

622
00:37:54,778 --> 00:37:57,069
And you're gonna ask me questions.

623
00:37:57,539 --> 00:37:58,785
About what?

624
00:38:02,256 --> 00:38:03,992
About what happened.

625
00:38:04,500 --> 00:38:05,500
When?

626
00:38:06,139 --> 00:38:07,587
When I got hurt.

627
00:38:08,019 --> 00:38:09,907
What else did I tell you?

628
00:38:10,818 --> 00:38:13,628
You said that if I
told what Mummy did,

629
00:38:14,299 --> 00:38:17,424
the judge and the nice
people will protect me...

630
00:38:17,655 --> 00:38:20,138
and Mummy wouldn't
hurt me any more.

631
00:38:20,857 --> 00:38:22,746
Do you think you can do that?

632
00:38:22,813 --> 00:38:24,941
Answer my questions in court?

633
00:38:25,613 --> 00:38:27,818
And tell what Mummy did to you?

634
00:38:30,694 --> 00:38:32,295
I think you can.

635
00:38:32,650 --> 00:38:34,386
Mummy will be there.

636
00:38:35,335 --> 00:38:38,307
She can't hurt you. She
can't even talk to you.

637
00:38:38,930 --> 00:38:40,858
You'll be completely safe.

638
00:38:43,293 --> 00:38:44,626
You promise?

639
00:38:46,332 --> 00:38:47,665
I promise.

640
00:38:56,007 --> 00:38:57,694
His father got to him last night.

641
00:38:57,771 --> 00:38:59,230
Told him God would put him in hell

642
00:38:59,231 --> 00:39:00,820
if he testified
against his mother.

643
00:39:00,887 --> 00:39:01,932
He's terrified.

644
00:39:02,009 --> 00:39:05,249
If you're not ready, we'll ask the
judge for a couple more days.

645
00:39:05,326 --> 00:39:06,326
No.

646
00:39:06,410 --> 00:39:08,979
We've got to do it now or
we'll lose him for good.

647
00:39:09,046 --> 00:39:12,258
Your mummy took you to the
hospital because you were hurt.

648
00:39:12,766 --> 00:39:14,655
What part of you was hurt?

649
00:39:15,288 --> 00:39:16,410
My head.

650
00:39:17,369 --> 00:39:18,970
How was it hurt?

651
00:39:23,246 --> 00:39:25,691
Wendell, how did you
hurt your head?

652
00:39:29,047 --> 00:39:30,648
I don't remember.

653
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,727
Have you ever seen this?

654
00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:38,240
Yes.

655
00:39:38,242 --> 00:39:39,402
Where?

656
00:39:39,757 --> 00:39:41,492
- In the cellar.
- At home?

657
00:39:41,684 --> 00:39:42,684
Yes.

658
00:39:42,796 --> 00:39:45,203
Did somebody put
your head inside it?

659
00:39:46,679 --> 00:39:47,887
Wendell?

660
00:39:49,882 --> 00:39:53,362
What did you say when somebody
put your head in the vice?

661
00:39:54,637 --> 00:39:58,405
You told me you screamed when
your head was put in the vice.

662
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:00,841
Remember?

663
00:40:01,435 --> 00:40:02,643
You told me.

664
00:40:05,596 --> 00:40:06,929
"I promise...

665
00:40:07,073 --> 00:40:08,597
"I'll be a good boy.

666
00:40:08,674 --> 00:40:10,323
"I'll be a good boy."

667
00:40:11,196 --> 00:40:12,960
Did somebody answer?

668
00:40:15,117 --> 00:40:16,277
Mummy.

669
00:40:16,517 --> 00:40:19,595
Mummy said I was a bad boy
and I deserved to die.

670
00:40:20,189 --> 00:40:22,164
And then what did Mummy do?

671
00:40:22,835 --> 00:40:24,993
She made it tighter and tighter.

672
00:40:25,069 --> 00:40:26,479
On your head?

673
00:40:26,671 --> 00:40:29,355
She hurt my head. My
mummy hurt my head.

674
00:40:31,426 --> 00:40:33,430
No further questions, Your Honour.

675
00:40:33,507 --> 00:40:35,559
The doctors have told us...

676
00:40:35,789 --> 00:40:37,361
that the wounds...

677
00:40:37,428 --> 00:40:40,592
that Wendell suffered could
not have come from a fall,

678
00:40:40,669 --> 00:40:43,114
as the defence would
have you believe.

679
00:40:44,025 --> 00:40:47,745
The police told us they found a
vice at the home of the defendant.

680
00:40:48,627 --> 00:40:50,756
Medical experts have testified...

681
00:40:50,909 --> 00:40:54,198
that the size and the shape
of the jaws of that vice,

682
00:40:54,303 --> 00:40:56,778
exactly match the
size and the shape of

683
00:40:56,779 --> 00:40:59,069
the wounds to the
little boy's head.

684
00:40:59,462 --> 00:41:01,676
And this evidence is clear...

685
00:41:02,146 --> 00:41:03,747
and uncontested.

686
00:41:05,540 --> 00:41:08,273
But the most compelling
evidence in this trial...

687
00:41:08,340 --> 00:41:11,025
comes not from doctors,
or police officers...

688
00:41:11,226 --> 00:41:13,355
or other expert witnesses.

689
00:41:13,498 --> 00:41:15,589
The most damning testimony...

690
00:41:16,020 --> 00:41:18,868
comes from an abused and
frightened child...

691
00:41:19,146 --> 00:41:21,907
who overcame his
fear and his pain...

692
00:41:22,578 --> 00:41:25,062
to tell you, in his own words...

693
00:41:25,819 --> 00:41:27,746
what really happened.

694
00:41:28,935 --> 00:41:33,020
If you're to remember nothing else
as you begin your deliberations...

695
00:41:33,096 --> 00:41:35,024
remember Wendell's words...

696
00:41:35,858 --> 00:41:37,823
"My mummy hurt my head."

697
00:41:39,415 --> 00:41:41,390
"My mummy hurt my head."

698
00:41:45,618 --> 00:41:47,584
"My mummy hurt my head."

699
00:42:24,450 --> 00:42:25,974
Congratulations.

700
00:42:31,727 --> 00:42:33,568
It's gonna be so good.

701
00:45:03,975 --> 00:45:06,055
You're still in love with her.

702
00:45:10,015 --> 00:45:11,664
It was never love.

703
00:45:12,777 --> 00:45:14,378
What was it, then?

704
00:45:20,735 --> 00:45:22,384
It was never love.

705
00:45:25,097 --> 00:45:27,820
What did she have to
make you feel so much?

706
00:45:39,652 --> 00:45:41,416
Ladies and gentlemen,

707
00:45:41,809 --> 00:45:43,497
Raymond Horgan.

708
00:45:58,569 --> 00:46:00,333
Thank you. Thank you.

709
00:46:02,366 --> 00:46:04,418
I wanted to come down
and say a few words...

710
00:46:04,485 --> 00:46:08,617
before I call Mr Della Guardia and
congratulate him on his victory.

711
00:46:09,643 --> 00:46:11,168
No, no, no. Come on.

712
00:46:12,481 --> 00:46:16,125
Of all the wonderful things that
have happened to me in 12 years...

713
00:46:16,882 --> 00:46:18,694
the best has been...

714
00:46:19,365 --> 00:46:21,887
knowing and working
with all of you.

715
00:46:22,798 --> 00:46:25,281
Wait till you hear what's
going down. It's strange.

716
00:46:25,358 --> 00:46:28,407
Someone's fucked up over at
the Hall. It's way wrong.

717
00:46:28,483 --> 00:46:30,133
- Why?
- I get a message.

718
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:31,948
I'm supposed to be in the chief's

719
00:46:31,948 --> 00:46:34,121
office 8:00 tomorrow
to be interviewed.

720
00:46:34,198 --> 00:46:35,198
By Molto.

721
00:46:35,243 --> 00:46:37,132
No discussion. Interview.

722
00:46:37,199 --> 00:46:38,723
It's like they're after me, right?

723
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,005
Another thing. When I
came back tonight...

724
00:46:41,082 --> 00:46:42,668
they took all the receipts of the

725
00:46:42,669 --> 00:46:44,447
evidence I inventoried
on Polhemus.

726
00:46:44,515 --> 00:46:46,202
No questions asked.

727
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:48,158
Sounds like you're off the case.

728
00:46:48,235 --> 00:46:50,526
Sure. Fine, but figure this in.

729
00:46:50,641 --> 00:46:54,400
I'm at the North Branch before
5:00, going through the microfilm.

730
00:46:54,994 --> 00:46:57,286
All of this hits by 6:00, 6:30.

731
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,929
Look what I picked up
while I was out there.

732
00:47:01,111 --> 00:47:03,240
The case number matches
the complaint number...

733
00:47:03,317 --> 00:47:05,637
that was missing when
you saw Kenneally.

734
00:47:05,714 --> 00:47:07,641
Five years ago. Bingo.

735
00:47:08,235 --> 00:47:11,160
And look who's listed as
Leon's probation officer.

736
00:47:13,557 --> 00:47:14,602
"Carolyn Polhemus."

737
00:47:14,669 --> 00:47:16,596
Wait. Here's the best.

738
00:47:17,507 --> 00:47:20,316
Who do you think was the
deputy handling the case?

739
00:47:22,828 --> 00:47:24,113
Tommy Molto.

740
00:47:24,631 --> 00:47:26,567
You keep this because I don't know

741
00:47:26,568 --> 00:47:28,677
what the fuck is
happening with me.

742
00:47:35,389 --> 00:47:36,750
Tommy Molto.

743
00:47:37,344 --> 00:47:41,113
Tommy Molto once worked here,
but we think he might be dead.

744
00:47:42,023 --> 00:47:43,548
Raymond's inside.

745
00:47:43,625 --> 00:47:45,389
We've been waiting for you.

746
00:47:53,308 --> 00:47:54,308
Rusty.

747
00:47:55,868 --> 00:47:57,470
Molto and Delay...

748
00:47:59,148 --> 00:48:02,034
have questions about the
Polhemus investigation.

749
00:48:02,820 --> 00:48:05,063
This should not be
handled this way.

750
00:48:05,466 --> 00:48:07,547
You should speak with Rusty alone.

751
00:48:08,539 --> 00:48:09,539
What's this about?

752
00:48:09,541 --> 00:48:12,705
You were at Carolyn's apartment
the night she was killed.

753
00:48:12,820 --> 00:48:14,028
Bullshit.

754
00:48:19,743 --> 00:48:21,871
What was it, a Tuesday night?

755
00:48:24,096 --> 00:48:26,828
Barbara was at the university.
I was babysitting.

756
00:48:26,895 --> 00:48:28,947
Keep your fucking mouth shut.

757
00:48:29,062 --> 00:48:31,143
We got the fingerprint results...

758
00:48:31,219 --> 00:48:33,664
the ones that you could
never remember to ask for.

759
00:48:33,741 --> 00:48:36,138
They're your prints all
over the bar glass.

760
00:48:36,215 --> 00:48:38,142
Yours, Rozat K. Sabich.

761
00:48:38,851 --> 00:48:41,536
Five feet from where the
woman was found dead.

762
00:48:42,016 --> 00:48:45,697
Or maybe you didn't remember that
all county employees get printed.

763
00:48:50,012 --> 00:48:51,460
This is absurd.

764
00:48:52,054 --> 00:48:54,979
The phone records you told
Lipranzer not to get?

765
00:48:55,094 --> 00:48:57,251
We had the phone company
pull them this morning.

766
00:48:57,328 --> 00:48:59,216
You were calling her all month.

767
00:48:59,293 --> 00:49:02,179
There's a call from your
house to hers that night.

768
00:49:07,692 --> 00:49:09,533
My God, you're serious.

769
00:49:13,445 --> 00:49:15,132
Tommy, for Christ's sake.

770
00:49:15,324 --> 00:49:16,331
Sabich.

771
00:49:17,050 --> 00:49:19,092
I want you to know
one thing. I know.

772
00:49:19,127 --> 00:49:20,127
Sure you do.

773
00:49:20,128 --> 00:49:22,180
Go ahead, play cool. I know.

774
00:49:22,285 --> 00:49:24,529
You killed her. You're the guy.

775
00:49:25,488 --> 00:49:26,488
Oh, yeah?

776
00:49:26,523 --> 00:49:29,332
Yeah, you're right.
You're always right.

777
00:49:35,929 --> 00:49:38,968
They think I killed her.
They're going to charge me.

778
00:49:39,802 --> 00:49:42,803
Don't be seen with me, man.
They'll fucking bury you.

779
00:49:45,843 --> 00:49:48,527
I'm sorry. I didn't
mean to scare you.

780
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:51,768
Are you sick?

781
00:49:55,201 --> 00:49:58,489
Nico and Molto are charging
me with Carolyn's murder.

782
00:50:01,155 --> 00:50:04,645
They found my fingerprints on a
glass of beer in her apartment.

783
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:09,918
What does this mean?

784
00:50:10,033 --> 00:50:12,008
Grand jury investigation.

785
00:50:13,312 --> 00:50:16,956
They will or they won't indict me.
If they do, there'll be a trial.

786
00:50:19,717 --> 00:50:21,846
It's not going to go that far.

787
00:50:24,876 --> 00:50:26,956
I'm going to need a lawyer.

788
00:50:29,190 --> 00:50:31,760
A very, very good lawyer.
Expensive lawyer.

789
00:50:35,432 --> 00:50:37,513
It could break us financially.

790
00:50:38,749 --> 00:50:40,715
We can mortgage the house.

791
00:50:41,674 --> 00:50:43,438
Or sell it if we have to.

792
00:50:46,554 --> 00:50:48,395
What time does Nat get home?

793
00:50:49,987 --> 00:50:50,993
Nat?

794
00:50:53,831 --> 00:50:54,992
Oh, Rusty.

795
00:51:08,022 --> 00:51:10,917
A lot of people think Raymond
shouldn't run again.

796
00:51:11,703 --> 00:51:14,191
If he agrees to step
aside, the party will

797
00:51:14,192 --> 00:51:16,507
let him decide who
will take his place.

798
00:51:18,425 --> 00:51:20,793
They know he won't
hand it all to Nico.

799
00:51:20,860 --> 00:51:22,279
That's for sure.

800
00:51:23,861 --> 00:51:25,462
Who would he choose?

801
00:51:27,265 --> 00:51:28,943
Somebody from the office.

802
00:51:29,901 --> 00:51:31,714
Carry on his traditions.

803
00:51:31,857 --> 00:51:32,857
You?

804
00:51:37,025 --> 00:51:38,387
Mac, maybe.

805
00:51:39,662 --> 00:51:42,232
She'd make a great candidate,
in that wheelchair.

806
00:51:42,299 --> 00:51:44,696
That chair is not very telegenic.

807
00:51:46,661 --> 00:51:48,310
I think he'd pick you.

808
00:51:50,698 --> 00:51:52,347
You're the natural.

809
00:51:58,339 --> 00:51:59,339
Rusty...

810
00:51:59,452 --> 00:52:02,270
if you let him know you
want it, it'll be you.

811
00:52:03,220 --> 00:52:05,741
I should just tell
Raymond his time is up?

812
00:52:05,933 --> 00:52:07,697
- You could be tactful.
- No.

813
00:52:08,733 --> 00:52:09,893
Why not?

814
00:52:11,053 --> 00:52:13,134
I'm not going to bite that hand.

815
00:52:13,536 --> 00:52:15,857
If Raymond wants out,
that's up to him.

816
00:52:16,173 --> 00:52:19,491
He's still the best candidate
around, against Della Guardia.

817
00:52:19,730 --> 00:52:22,578
Without Raymond, Nico
doesn't have an issue.

818
00:52:22,933 --> 00:52:24,725
Pull the party's
people and Raymond's

819
00:52:24,726 --> 00:52:26,614
people together behind
somebody else...

820
00:52:26,691 --> 00:52:29,539
that person would walk
into the PA's office.

821
00:52:30,047 --> 00:52:31,619
It wouldn't be close.

822
00:52:40,009 --> 00:52:42,089
You've thought a lot about this.

823
00:52:42,809 --> 00:52:44,621
He just needs a push.

824
00:52:48,044 --> 00:52:50,364
Push him yourself. It's not in me.

825
00:52:56,567 --> 00:52:57,567
What?

826
00:52:58,207 --> 00:53:00,892
Were you all set on
being chief deputy?

827
00:53:02,684 --> 00:53:03,730
Carolyn...

828
00:53:05,724 --> 00:53:09,204
if I can get away tonight
shall I get some take-out?

829
00:53:10,163 --> 00:53:12,733
I like you, Rusty, but
I think it's over.

830
00:53:13,759 --> 00:53:16,290
It's just not right for
me now. It's over.

831
00:53:16,357 --> 00:53:18,016
I don't accept that.

832
00:53:18,198 --> 00:53:19,722
You don't accept it?

833
00:53:19,837 --> 00:53:21,285
Do I have a say?

834
00:53:23,721 --> 00:53:25,763
I don't want us to end up enemies.

835
00:53:33,874 --> 00:53:35,849
Mac said it was all right.

836
00:53:36,195 --> 00:53:37,604
Have it your way.

837
00:53:40,720 --> 00:53:42,398
Someone's in my office.

838
00:53:44,277 --> 00:53:45,437
What is it, Rusty?

839
00:53:45,514 --> 00:53:48,323
I wanted to talk about this
rapist you habitualised.

840
00:53:48,390 --> 00:53:49,963
There's some problems.

841
00:53:50,797 --> 00:53:52,638
I'm late for an appointment.

842
00:53:52,830 --> 00:53:55,994
I would appreciate it if you
could put it in a memo.

843
00:53:56,598 --> 00:53:58,084
You keep avoiding me.

844
00:53:58,151 --> 00:53:59,780
You communicate through memos. You

845
00:53:59,781 --> 00:54:01,603
skip meetings I'm
supposed to go to.

846
00:54:01,670 --> 00:54:03,281
It's affecting work.

847
00:54:03,348 --> 00:54:04,431
My work?

848
00:54:05,553 --> 00:54:06,713
My work.

849
00:54:07,835 --> 00:54:10,069
I tried to make it easier for you.

850
00:54:13,032 --> 00:54:15,036
You make me feel uncomfortable.

851
00:54:15,112 --> 00:54:18,161
I just want to be with you.
Can't we just talk about it?

852
00:54:19,753 --> 00:54:22,035
I'm involved with someone else.

853
00:54:23,070 --> 00:54:24,307
Since when?

854
00:54:24,787 --> 00:54:26,714
What is it you want from me?

855
00:54:28,507 --> 00:54:30,079
What do I have to do?

856
00:54:32,227 --> 00:54:33,272
Grow up.

857
00:55:09,620 --> 00:55:11,106
Rozat K. Sabich?

858
00:55:13,455 --> 00:55:15,306
Rusty, I don't like to be here.

859
00:55:15,382 --> 00:55:17,540
A search warrant for
these premises.

860
00:55:20,301 --> 00:55:21,586
Come on in.

861
00:55:37,655 --> 00:55:40,052
They're taking swatches
from your suits.

862
00:55:40,292 --> 00:55:43,341
They'll try to match threads from
my clothing and the carpet...

863
00:55:43,408 --> 00:55:46,141
with fibres they might
find at her apartment.

864
00:55:46,208 --> 00:55:48,614
They're not looking
for a murder weapon?

865
00:55:48,691 --> 00:55:50,772
I wouldn't be stupid
enough to bring it home.

866
00:55:50,848 --> 00:55:52,904
If they look for it
and don't find it,

867
00:55:52,905 --> 00:55:54,856
they'll have to admit
that in court.

868
00:55:55,326 --> 00:55:57,570
I'll have to give a blood sample.

869
00:55:58,011 --> 00:55:59,343
If you refuse?

870
00:55:59,852 --> 00:56:01,577
They've got a warrant.

871
00:56:01,731 --> 00:56:03,303
It's all routine.

872
00:56:04,444 --> 00:56:07,177
I'm going to ask Sandy
Stern to take my case.

873
00:56:12,930 --> 00:56:14,214
Hi, Sandy.

874
00:56:21,329 --> 00:56:23,039
I realise you would like to avoid

875
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,010
public places at a
time like this...

876
00:56:25,087 --> 00:56:28,529
but I don't think it is wise
for you to go into hiding.

877
00:56:29,641 --> 00:56:32,882
I'm flattered that you want me
to represent you in this case.

878
00:56:32,959 --> 00:56:35,490
You have been my
toughest adversary.

879
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,207
Did you get my subpoena
from the grand jury?

880
00:56:40,361 --> 00:56:43,247
This morning. Clearly, we
will not let you testify.

881
00:56:45,078 --> 00:56:48,127
Sandy, you expect me to
take the Fifth Amendment?

882
00:56:48,444 --> 00:56:49,728
Of course.

883
00:56:51,483 --> 00:56:52,844
That I cannot do.

884
00:56:54,359 --> 00:56:56,541
You don't want to
prepare the prosecutor

885
00:56:56,542 --> 00:56:58,405
by giving him pretrial statements.

886
00:56:58,482 --> 00:57:02,039
Sandy, I don't think this case
is ever going to go to trial.

887
00:57:02,758 --> 00:57:06,047
If I take the Fifth and refuse to
testify before the grand jury...

888
00:57:06,114 --> 00:57:08,195
it could destroy my reputation.

889
00:57:10,755 --> 00:57:12,922
The results of the blood
tests have come back.

890
00:57:12,998 --> 00:57:14,787
They have identified
you as someone

891
00:57:14,788 --> 00:57:16,479
who secretes A-type antibodies...

892
00:57:16,556 --> 00:57:19,796
just like the man who had
last been with Ms Polhemus.

893
00:57:20,113 --> 00:57:22,999
Chances of this being a
coincidence are one in ten.

894
00:57:23,114 --> 00:57:27,006
So, I believe you will be charged
and that you will go to trial.

895
00:57:27,150 --> 00:57:29,535
Have you anything to
tell this grand jury

896
00:57:29,536 --> 00:57:31,637
about the death of
Carolyn Polhemus?

897
00:57:31,916 --> 00:57:34,514
On the advice of counsel,
I decline to answer.

898
00:57:34,754 --> 00:57:36,721
Wouldn't it be fair
to say you were

899
00:57:36,721 --> 00:57:38,963
rather well acquainted
with Ms Polhemus?

900
00:57:39,154 --> 00:57:41,360
On the advice of counsel,
I decline to answer.

901
00:57:41,427 --> 00:57:44,111
Weren't you, in fact,
intimate with the lady?

902
00:57:45,550 --> 00:57:48,158
On the advice of counsel,
I decline to answer.

903
00:57:49,145 --> 00:57:52,232
You are under arrest. "You have
the right to remain silent.

904
00:57:52,309 --> 00:57:55,195
"Anything you say can and
will be used against you.

905
00:57:55,387 --> 00:57:56,898
"You have the right to have a

906
00:57:56,899 --> 00:57:58,829
"lawyer present
during questioning.

907
00:57:59,270 --> 00:58:01,016
"If you cannot hire a lawyer, one

908
00:58:01,017 --> 00:58:03,029
"will be appointed
to represent you.

909
00:58:05,023 --> 00:58:07,755
"You may stop answering
questions at any time."

910
00:58:07,861 --> 00:58:10,431
Do you understand the rights
I have explained to you?

911
00:58:10,507 --> 00:58:12,502
Call Sandy Stern to make bail.

912
00:58:26,500 --> 00:58:28,427
Sandy should be available
in a few hours.

913
00:58:28,504 --> 00:58:30,345
Let's see what they got.

914
00:58:31,141 --> 00:58:33,384
Can't believe there could
be any more surprises.

915
00:58:33,461 --> 00:58:36,663
That's when they come. That's
why they're called surprises.

916
00:58:40,335 --> 00:58:42,742
Do we now understand
Della Guardia's case?

917
00:58:44,094 --> 00:58:45,542
Yes, I think I do.

918
00:58:46,740 --> 00:58:48,178
Let me hear it.

919
00:58:51,937 --> 00:58:54,181
Sabich is obsessed with Polhemus.

920
00:58:54,813 --> 00:58:56,894
She ditches him for another man.

921
00:58:57,373 --> 00:58:59,138
Sabich becomes enraged.

922
00:58:59,214 --> 00:59:00,739
He can't let go.

923
00:59:01,372 --> 00:59:03,452
One night, knowing
his wife is out...

924
00:59:03,529 --> 00:59:06,185
he calls her and begs
her to see him again.

925
00:59:06,731 --> 00:59:08,658
Carolyn finally agrees.

926
00:59:09,771 --> 00:59:12,580
She rolls around with
him for auld lang syne.

927
00:59:12,848 --> 00:59:14,296
Then something goes wrong.

928
00:59:14,373 --> 00:59:17,690
Sabich is jealous. He wants more
than she's willing to give.

929
00:59:18,333 --> 00:59:19,493
He blows it.

930
00:59:19,570 --> 00:59:22,178
Gives her what for with
some heavy instrument.

931
00:59:22,369 --> 00:59:24,613
Decides to make it look like rape.

932
00:59:24,929 --> 00:59:28,611
Sabich is a prosecutor, knows
there'll be dozens of suspects.

933
00:59:29,369 --> 00:59:30,653
He ties her up.

934
00:59:30,730 --> 00:59:34,019
Opens the latches to make it
look like someone slipped in.

935
00:59:35,284 --> 00:59:37,451
And this is the diabolical part...

936
00:59:38,209 --> 00:59:40,970
pulls out her diaphragm
so it looks like rape.

937
00:59:41,248 --> 00:59:44,211
But in his haste and
confusion, he makes mistakes.

938
00:59:44,930 --> 00:59:47,049
He forgets the glass
he drank from.

939
00:59:47,202 --> 00:59:49,268
He doesn't think the
forensic chemist

940
00:59:49,268 --> 00:59:51,172
will be able to ID the spermicide.

941
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,326
But we know he did
evil to this woman...

942
00:59:54,527 --> 00:59:56,628
because he lied about
his presence in

943
00:59:56,629 --> 00:59:58,842
her apartment the
night she was killed.

944
00:59:59,321 --> 01:00:01,373
His fingerprints on the glass...

945
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:04,010
his blood type A
identified from semen...

946
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:08,200
fibres from the carpets in his
home, tell us he was there.

947
01:00:10,156 --> 01:00:11,767
Very convincing.

948
01:00:13,838 --> 01:00:16,081
But their evidence
of motive is weak.

949
01:00:16,158 --> 01:00:18,162
That's where we must attack.

950
01:00:18,603 --> 01:00:20,783
Is there any proof
of prior amorous

951
01:00:20,784 --> 01:00:22,601
relationship between the two?

952
01:00:22,841 --> 01:00:23,886
A few telephone calls.

953
01:00:23,953 --> 01:00:26,005
They can be accounted
for by business needs.

954
01:00:26,082 --> 01:00:27,280
- Any diary?
- No.

955
01:00:27,999 --> 01:00:30,923
No note that came with flowers?
No lovers' correspondence?

956
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:32,122
- No.
- Good.

957
01:00:32,199 --> 01:00:33,723
Gossip will not be admitted.

958
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,645
There are calls from my home to
Carolyn's in October of last year.

959
01:00:37,798 --> 01:00:40,636
You were trying the case
of Wendell McGaffney then.

960
01:00:40,914 --> 01:00:42,602
Reason enough for calling her.

961
01:00:42,678 --> 01:00:45,881
Why did I tell Lipranzer not
to get my home phone records?

962
01:00:45,957 --> 01:00:47,672
I take it for granted
that a person

963
01:00:47,673 --> 01:00:49,198
of an innocent state of mind...

964
01:00:49,275 --> 01:00:51,240
would rule himself
out as a suspect...

965
01:00:51,308 --> 01:00:54,203
and save a busy detective
from wasting time.

966
01:00:55,469 --> 01:00:57,471
Clearly, they hope to
win the case on the

967
01:00:57,472 --> 01:00:59,237
strength of their
physical evidence.

968
01:00:59,314 --> 01:01:02,238
I'd like to look at that
glass. It could help me.

969
01:01:02,315 --> 01:01:04,549
List a motion for production
of physical evidence.

970
01:01:04,625 --> 01:01:07,109
I want an inventory of
everything in that apartment.

971
01:01:07,185 --> 01:01:09,477
Where's the contraceptive jelly...

972
01:01:09,745 --> 01:01:13,389
the chemist is saying he finds
present? In her medicine cabinet?

973
01:01:13,465 --> 01:01:14,875
I don't know.

974
01:01:17,828 --> 01:01:19,746
I'll hear worse in court.

975
01:01:20,388 --> 01:01:22,632
I never asked her
what she was doing.

976
01:01:22,747 --> 01:01:24,233
One word of caution.

977
01:01:24,425 --> 01:01:26,822
We do not want to
lead Della Guardia...

978
01:01:27,023 --> 01:01:29,708
to evidence he has not
thought to obtain.

979
01:01:30,149 --> 01:01:34,147
Best we conduct a search ourselves
without disclosing our intentions.

980
01:01:34,703 --> 01:01:36,573
Also, your mention of Carolyn's

981
01:01:36,574 --> 01:01:38,989
personal habits leads
to this thought.

982
01:01:39,947 --> 01:01:42,153
We should subpoena her doctors.

983
01:01:42,623 --> 01:01:44,588
Who knows what we might discover.

984
01:01:44,665 --> 01:01:46,985
There's one big surprise, however.

985
01:01:48,701 --> 01:01:51,070
Raymond Horgan's on
their witness list.

986
01:01:51,539 --> 01:01:52,584
Why?

987
01:01:53,860 --> 01:01:56,429
It's a hell of a way to
impress my new partners.

988
01:01:56,496 --> 01:01:59,392
I'm here three days and I
get a grand jury subpoena.

989
01:02:00,341 --> 01:02:01,958
I was wondering what we might

990
01:02:01,959 --> 01:02:04,023
expect, in terms
of your testimony.

991
01:02:05,778 --> 01:02:07,578
I'm going to testify about Rusty's

992
01:02:07,579 --> 01:02:09,699
conduct of the Polhemus
investigation.

993
01:02:10,015 --> 01:02:12,777
- How he volunteered to handle it.
- Just a second.

994
01:02:13,937 --> 01:02:15,855
You insisted I take it on.

995
01:02:16,018 --> 01:02:17,542
I don't remember it that way.

996
01:02:17,619 --> 01:02:19,536
What are you trying to do to me?

997
01:02:19,613 --> 01:02:21,540
What am I trying to do to you?

998
01:02:22,250 --> 01:02:24,254
What are you trying to do to me?

999
01:02:27,935 --> 01:02:29,776
I thought I had your loyalty.

1000
01:02:33,257 --> 01:02:35,903
Why didn't you tell me
about you and Carolyn?

1001
01:02:35,970 --> 01:02:39,892
Under the circumstances, I have
to advise Rusty not to respond.

1002
01:02:41,167 --> 01:02:42,854
Clearly, he would like to.

1003
01:02:43,008 --> 01:02:44,973
Let me ask you something.

1004
01:02:45,453 --> 01:02:48,454
Why were his fingerprints all
over that goddamn glass?

1005
01:02:49,930 --> 01:02:52,011
That's what I'm going to testify.

1006
01:02:52,490 --> 01:02:54,254
That he wanted the case.

1007
01:02:54,571 --> 01:02:57,620
That I had to chew his ass
to get him to move on it.

1008
01:02:58,684 --> 01:03:01,091
He seemed more interested
in if, when and how...

1009
01:03:01,167 --> 01:03:04,456
I was fucking Carolyn Polhemus
than in his own investigation.

1010
01:03:04,523 --> 01:03:07,131
When push came to shove,
he stood in my office...

1011
01:03:07,208 --> 01:03:09,491
he told us he'd been
nowhere near her

1012
01:03:09,492 --> 01:03:11,657
apartment the night
she was killed.

1013
01:03:14,485 --> 01:03:16,566
That's what I'm going to testify.

1014
01:03:17,122 --> 01:03:19,490
And I'll be goddamned
pleased to do it.

1015
01:03:20,564 --> 01:03:23,536
How can you think that I
could do a thing like that?

1016
01:03:26,959 --> 01:03:29,442
You always had the
cork in too tight.

1017
01:03:30,401 --> 01:03:31,926
We all saw that.

1018
01:03:34,236 --> 01:03:36,164
When you blew, you blew.

1019
01:03:37,803 --> 01:03:39,328
Come on, Rusty.

1020
01:03:46,682 --> 01:03:50,565
When did this relationship take
place between Raymond and Carolyn?

1021
01:03:50,833 --> 01:03:53,125
Just after she stopped seeing me.

1022
01:03:55,273 --> 01:03:57,123
Delay's got his motive.

1023
01:03:59,271 --> 01:04:01,432
What if I told you
Raymond secretly

1024
01:04:01,433 --> 01:04:03,595
assigned a bribery
case to Carolyn?

1025
01:04:04,314 --> 01:04:07,603
Some poor son of a bitch on a
public-indecency charge...

1026
01:04:07,670 --> 01:04:10,201
paid off a PA to have
his case dismissed.

1027
01:04:10,354 --> 01:04:13,672
Turns out, the guy's probation
officer is Carolyn...

1028
01:04:14,353 --> 01:04:17,430
and the deputy assigned to
the case is Tommy Molto.

1029
01:04:18,475 --> 01:04:22,234
Day after I find this out, I'm
charged with Carolyn's murder.

1030
01:04:24,631 --> 01:04:27,392
Before we venture down the
road into actual accusation...

1031
01:04:27,469 --> 01:04:30,077
we must consider the
matter very carefully.

1032
01:04:32,790 --> 01:04:35,993
It can't be a coincidence it
lays out this way, Sandy.

1033
01:04:41,506 --> 01:04:43,318
I mean, I'm innocent.

1034
01:04:50,384 --> 01:04:52,954
God, I made a fool of
myself today with Sandy.

1035
01:04:53,261 --> 01:04:54,344
How?

1036
01:04:54,709 --> 01:04:56,473
I told him I was innocent.

1037
01:04:57,786 --> 01:04:59,992
I thought he would've
asked you that by now.

1038
01:05:00,068 --> 01:05:01,593
No, it's axiomatic.

1039
01:05:02,139 --> 01:05:04,306
Defendants rarely tell the truth.

1040
01:05:05,380 --> 01:05:07,456
Lie to the cops, lie
to your lawyer,

1041
01:05:07,456 --> 01:05:09,589
lie to the jury that
tries your case.

1042
01:05:11,018 --> 01:05:13,913
Leave the bastards out there
with a grain of doubt.

1043
01:05:19,417 --> 01:05:20,865
You never asked.

1044
01:05:22,782 --> 01:05:24,383
If you're innocent?

1045
01:05:29,139 --> 01:05:30,664
You want me to?

1046
01:05:46,695 --> 01:05:48,142
Please draw a name.

1047
01:05:56,292 --> 01:05:58,133
"Judge Larren Lyttle."

1048
01:05:58,929 --> 01:06:01,220
I have some motions
from the defence.

1049
01:06:01,288 --> 01:06:04,183
Mr Stern, you want to examine
the scene of the crime?

1050
01:06:04,250 --> 01:06:06,983
Yes, Your Honour. To evaluate
the physical evidence...

1051
01:06:07,050 --> 01:06:10,367
to see if it actually proves
what the prosecution claims.

1052
01:06:10,569 --> 01:06:11,930
Mr Della Guardia?

1053
01:06:12,132 --> 01:06:14,893
With proviso that nothing be
removed, nothing disturbed.

1054
01:06:14,970 --> 01:06:16,887
- No objection.
- Granted.

1055
01:06:17,568 --> 01:06:19,495
Mr Stern, anything further?

1056
01:06:19,812 --> 01:06:23,014
We notice that Mr Molto is
listed both as a prosecutor...

1057
01:06:23,091 --> 01:06:26,379
and as a witness for the
prosecution. We object to that.

1058
01:06:26,485 --> 01:06:28,968
I take it you are speaking
of where Mr Sabich...

1059
01:06:29,045 --> 01:06:31,132
responds to Mr Molto's
accusation of

1060
01:06:31,133 --> 01:06:33,053
murder by saying: "You're right."

1061
01:06:34,529 --> 01:06:36,332
"Yeah, you're right."

1062
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:39,208
Your Honour, the man
admitted the crime.

1063
01:06:39,323 --> 01:06:41,854
Come on, Mr Delay Guardia. Really.

1064
01:06:42,842 --> 01:06:44,882
Tell a man he's
engaged in wrongdoing

1065
01:06:44,883 --> 01:06:46,763
and he says, "Yeah, you're right."

1066
01:06:46,879 --> 01:06:50,129
Everyone knows that's facetious.
We're all familiar with that.

1067
01:06:50,206 --> 01:06:53,408
Shit, if Mr Sabich had come
from my neighbourhood...

1068
01:06:53,638 --> 01:06:55,805
he would've said, "Your momma."

1069
01:06:56,764 --> 01:07:00,609
But, in Mr Sabich's part of town
I would think they would say:

1070
01:07:01,078 --> 01:07:02,766
"Yeah, you're right."

1071
01:07:02,843 --> 01:07:05,527
And what they mean
is, "You are wrong."

1072
01:07:05,844 --> 01:07:07,493
Just to be polite.

1073
01:07:09,554 --> 01:07:12,603
Your Honour, isn't that a
question for the jury?

1074
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:15,170
On the contrary, Mr
Delay Guardia, it

1075
01:07:15,171 --> 01:07:17,244
is first a question for the court.

1076
01:07:17,877 --> 01:07:20,044
If you use Mr Sabich's
statement and

1077
01:07:20,045 --> 01:07:22,038
risk my ruling it out of order...

1078
01:07:22,517 --> 01:07:24,837
then I will bar Mr Molto
from prosecuting.

1079
01:07:24,914 --> 01:07:27,043
But if he is the prosecutor...

1080
01:07:27,637 --> 01:07:30,523
then Mr Sabich's statement
may not be offered.

1081
01:07:31,559 --> 01:07:34,032
And I'll see you in
court in three weeks.

1082
01:07:35,355 --> 01:07:37,800
Ernestine, show in the next bunch.

1083
01:07:45,874 --> 01:07:48,194
What the fuck are you
doing with those?

1084
01:07:48,271 --> 01:07:50,737
We don't want Molto
thinking fingerprints

1085
01:07:50,738 --> 01:07:52,911
we leave here today
are from before.

1086
01:07:54,388 --> 01:07:56,202
We're not going to plant anything,

1087
01:07:56,203 --> 01:07:58,232
if that's what you're
worried about.

1088
01:08:00,390 --> 01:08:01,838
The law's the law.

1089
01:08:03,266 --> 01:08:05,193
Yeah, I know, Glendenning.

1090
01:08:11,426 --> 01:08:12,710
Diaphragm?

1091
01:08:14,149 --> 01:08:15,826
I don't know. The bathroom?

1092
01:08:15,903 --> 01:08:17,035
Where?

1093
01:09:02,539 --> 01:09:03,661
Nothing.

1094
01:09:03,901 --> 01:09:06,135
Fucking cops always
forget something.

1095
01:09:07,017 --> 01:09:08,225
What is it?

1096
01:09:08,532 --> 01:09:09,816
Her phone book.

1097
01:09:10,296 --> 01:09:13,105
Check with her doctors on
the contraceptive stuff.

1098
01:09:13,652 --> 01:09:16,183
Carolyn never seemed worried
about anything like that.

1099
01:09:16,250 --> 01:09:20,018
She's got them under "D." Jesus,
she's got a lot of doctors.

1100
01:09:21,092 --> 01:09:22,815
If the chemist says spermicide is

1101
01:09:22,816 --> 01:09:25,061
present, and it's not
seized from here...

1102
01:09:25,128 --> 01:09:27,017
then you tell me where it's at?

1103
01:09:27,094 --> 01:09:30,459
I don't know. Maybe I took it
when I took the diaphragm.

1104
01:09:31,255 --> 01:09:33,010
It doesn't make sense.

1105
01:09:34,611 --> 01:09:37,823
You got to remember, I wasn't
thinking very clearly.

1106
01:09:39,568 --> 01:09:43,096
If I had been, I wouldn't have
left my fingerprints on the glass.

1107
01:09:44,726 --> 01:09:46,491
You were a former chief
deputy prosecutor.

1108
01:09:46,567 --> 01:09:49,051
How does it feel to
be on the other side?

1109
01:09:51,965 --> 01:09:54,535
Think you might be a
political scapegoat?

1110
01:09:54,765 --> 01:09:58,169
Sorry, we're not about to try this
case on the courthouse steps.

1111
01:09:58,245 --> 01:10:00,451
How do you feel about
your husband, now?

1112
01:10:00,527 --> 01:10:01,649
All rise.

1113
01:10:04,363 --> 01:10:07,728
The Superior Court for the county
of Kindle is now in session.

1114
01:10:07,805 --> 01:10:10,930
The Honourable Larren L.
Lyttle, judge presiding.

1115
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:15,015
Draw near and give your attention
and you shall be heard.

1116
01:10:15,082 --> 01:10:18,160
God save the United States
and this honourable court.

1117
01:10:18,323 --> 01:10:21,161
The People vs. Rozat
K. Sabich, for trial.

1118
01:10:22,522 --> 01:10:24,171
May it please the court.

1119
01:10:24,325 --> 01:10:27,642
The State's evidence will show
that on or about April 1st...

1120
01:10:27,796 --> 01:10:31,084
Carolyn Polhemus, a deputy
prosecutor in Kindle County...

1121
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:33,644
was brutally murdered.

1122
01:10:34,594 --> 01:10:36,566
The proof will show
that this murder

1123
01:10:36,567 --> 01:10:38,486
was perpetrated by
her colleague...

1124
01:10:38,918 --> 01:10:40,644
Rozat K. Sabich.

1125
01:10:41,832 --> 01:10:44,517
How are we to answer this,
Rusty Sabich and I?

1126
01:10:46,032 --> 01:10:48,079
Mr Della Guardia's
case involves no

1127
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:50,356
facts but supposition
upon supposition.

1128
01:10:51,152 --> 01:10:52,801
Guess upon guess.

1129
01:10:54,191 --> 01:10:56,962
When you listen to the
evidence, ask yourselves...

1130
01:10:57,077 --> 01:10:58,755
why Rusty Sabich...

1131
01:10:59,714 --> 01:11:02,284
the finest prosecutor
of this county...

1132
01:11:03,549 --> 01:11:06,474
a man who has devoted his
life to preventing...

1133
01:11:06,675 --> 01:11:10,194
and punishing criminal behaviour,
not to committing it...

1134
01:11:12,514 --> 01:11:14,595
sits here as the accused.

1135
01:11:16,033 --> 01:11:17,078
Why?

1136
01:11:17,231 --> 01:11:19,149
The State calls
Detective Harold Greer.

1137
01:11:19,226 --> 01:11:21,469
May we have a word with the bench?

1138
01:11:22,907 --> 01:11:26,829
This witness will testify about a
bar glass. They have no bar glass.

1139
01:11:27,270 --> 01:11:28,756
What about this?

1140
01:11:29,063 --> 01:11:31,959
I learnt the first time
last night, from Tommy...

1141
01:11:32,342 --> 01:11:34,710
Hold it right there.
Inside, gentlemen.

1142
01:11:34,950 --> 01:11:37,874
I request that Mr Sabich
join us in chambers.

1143
01:11:37,941 --> 01:11:40,348
He is an integral
part of the defence.

1144
01:11:43,541 --> 01:11:45,276
Where is the fucking glass?

1145
01:11:45,343 --> 01:11:47,529
Police Evidence Room
was where it was

1146
01:11:47,529 --> 01:11:49,831
supposed to be, but
they can't find it.

1147
01:11:50,262 --> 01:11:52,173
We won't be talking about evidence

1148
01:11:52,174 --> 01:11:54,423
that nobody can find.
Not in my court.

1149
01:11:56,859 --> 01:11:58,868
We don't object to
the photographs,

1150
01:11:58,869 --> 01:12:00,991
just to testimony
about fingerprints.

1151
01:12:01,825 --> 01:12:04,030
I will reserve
decision, gentlemen.

1152
01:12:06,264 --> 01:12:08,311
A stroke of luck.
Their disorganisation

1153
01:12:08,312 --> 01:12:09,745
will help us with the jury.

1154
01:12:09,822 --> 01:12:11,662
They'll find the
glass. They always do.

1155
01:12:11,739 --> 01:12:14,625
Ladies and gentlemen, these
photos depict horrors...

1156
01:12:14,702 --> 01:12:17,626
you may be expected to
react to with disgust.

1157
01:12:18,374 --> 01:12:20,589
But I am instructing you,
that in themselves...

1158
01:12:20,656 --> 01:12:24,021
they are proof of nothing
except the nature of the crime.

1159
01:12:37,253 --> 01:12:38,749
How you doing?

1160
01:12:39,257 --> 01:12:42,334
- They making it tough on you?
- Those cupcakes? Come on.

1161
01:12:42,929 --> 01:12:44,904
Is there anything you need?

1162
01:12:46,055 --> 01:12:48,893
Yeah, I got to find this
guy, Leon. Leon Wells.

1163
01:12:49,056 --> 01:12:52,900
The guy who's supposed to have
bribed the PA at the North Branch.

1164
01:12:54,128 --> 01:12:56,975
I wouldn't ask, but it
might really matter.

1165
01:12:57,253 --> 01:13:01,012
Think Molto's kinky on this? Set
you up to keep you from looking?

1166
01:13:01,328 --> 01:13:04,655
You want to hear me say I think
it might be possible? I do.

1167
01:13:04,770 --> 01:13:06,573
Okay, after I testify.

1168
01:13:07,129 --> 01:13:08,654
They got their eyes on me.

1169
01:13:08,730 --> 01:13:10,791
When I'm off the
stand, they'll ease

1170
01:13:10,792 --> 01:13:12,575
up. I'll work on it then. Hard.

1171
01:13:13,131 --> 01:13:14,416
You're a pal.

1172
01:13:17,129 --> 01:13:18,568
Is he gonna help?

1173
01:13:19,881 --> 01:13:22,700
After he testifies. Might
be too late by then.

1174
01:13:23,841 --> 01:13:25,768
I think it's going well.

1175
01:13:26,564 --> 01:13:30,246
The jury's gonna remember pictures
of Carolyn tortured to death.

1176
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,369
They'll want somebody to
pay for what they saw.

1177
01:13:34,445 --> 01:13:35,778
Tomorrow, Raymond...

1178
01:13:35,845 --> 01:13:39,527
my friend and mentor, will
testify he thinks I'm guilty.

1179
01:13:41,646 --> 01:13:43,726
Then come the physical proofs:

1180
01:13:44,043 --> 01:13:46,651
Fingerprints. Fibre.
Bodily fluids.

1181
01:13:50,716 --> 01:13:52,404
They all point to me.

1182
01:13:52,835 --> 01:13:55,203
You know the defendant,
Rozat Sabich?

1183
01:13:56,076 --> 01:13:59,643
Sure, I know Rusty. I've known
him since he was a law student.

1184
01:13:59,719 --> 01:14:01,129
He was my second in command.

1185
01:14:01,196 --> 01:14:02,960
Would you identify him?

1186
01:14:08,396 --> 01:14:09,557
That's him.

1187
01:14:11,474 --> 01:14:13,575
You assigned Mr
Sabich to supervise

1188
01:14:13,576 --> 01:14:15,444
the investigation in this case?

1189
01:14:17,438 --> 01:14:18,876
He volunteered.

1190
01:14:18,953 --> 01:14:20,190
And I accepted.

1191
01:14:20,592 --> 01:14:22,999
He promised to pursue
it vigorously.

1192
01:14:23,191 --> 01:14:24,274
Did he?

1193
01:14:24,389 --> 01:14:26,479
Not to my way of thinking, no.

1194
01:14:27,429 --> 01:14:30,161
I got the feeling he was
stalling on the investigation.

1195
01:14:30,228 --> 01:14:33,038
I let him know that I
wasn't happy about that.

1196
01:14:35,310 --> 01:14:38,397
He brought in his own detective
to replace Harold Greer.

1197
01:14:38,589 --> 01:14:41,954
Then he gave his new partner
instructions to ignore evidence...

1198
01:14:42,031 --> 01:14:45,195
about telephone calls between
his house and Carolyn's.

1199
01:14:46,470 --> 01:14:48,258
He tried to limit the scope of the

1200
01:14:48,259 --> 01:14:50,363
fingerprint search
to exclude his own.

1201
01:14:52,664 --> 01:14:54,794
He was more interested
in whether I had

1202
01:14:54,795 --> 01:14:56,873
been intimate with
Carolyn Polhemus...

1203
01:14:57,103 --> 01:14:59,270
than in the facts
surrounding her murder.

1204
01:14:59,347 --> 01:15:01,830
What did you tell him about
you and Ms Polhemus?

1205
01:15:01,907 --> 01:15:03,431
I told him the truth.

1206
01:15:04,103 --> 01:15:06,270
That we'd been together
for about three months.

1207
01:15:06,346 --> 01:15:08,388
This, of course, was
after I was divorced.

1208
01:15:08,465 --> 01:15:10,546
At that time, or any other time...

1209
01:15:10,661 --> 01:15:13,393
did he inform you of his
personal relationship with her?

1210
01:15:13,461 --> 01:15:17,430
There is no proof in the record
of any relationship between them.

1211
01:15:17,823 --> 01:15:19,741
I'll let the question stand.

1212
01:15:20,699 --> 01:15:22,668
But Mr Della Guardia is asking a

1213
01:15:22,669 --> 01:15:24,947
question based on
his assumption...

1214
01:15:25,541 --> 01:15:29,674
that something was going on
between Mr Sabich and Ms Polhemus.

1215
01:15:30,019 --> 01:15:32,186
Just because he thinks it's so...

1216
01:15:32,416 --> 01:15:34,027
doesn't make it so.

1217
01:15:34,775 --> 01:15:35,906
Proceed.

1218
01:15:36,663 --> 01:15:39,108
I never would've let him
handle the investigation...

1219
01:15:39,176 --> 01:15:42,071
if I thought he'd been
intimate with the victim.

1220
01:15:42,503 --> 01:15:44,104
Nothing further.

1221
01:15:44,698 --> 01:15:46,184
Have you any...

1222
01:15:46,453 --> 01:15:48,303
personal knowledge...

1223
01:15:48,418 --> 01:15:52,465
that there was ever a relationship
between Mr Sabich and Ms Polhemus?

1224
01:15:52,733 --> 01:15:54,420
That's the point.
He didn't tell me.

1225
01:15:54,497 --> 01:15:56,779
Please answer the
question I asked you.

1226
01:15:58,131 --> 01:16:00,020
Do you remember the question?

1227
01:16:00,212 --> 01:16:01,212
I do.

1228
01:16:01,698 --> 01:16:03,692
But you chose not to answer it.

1229
01:16:04,536 --> 01:16:06,262
I apologise, Mr Stern.

1230
01:16:06,492 --> 01:16:10,135
I have no personal knowledge that
such a relationship ever existed.

1231
01:16:10,375 --> 01:16:12,897
Assuming there was
something to disclose...

1232
01:16:13,012 --> 01:16:15,175
you believe he
should have informed

1233
01:16:15,176 --> 01:16:17,221
anyone in a responsible position?

1234
01:16:17,247 --> 01:16:18,247
I do.

1235
01:16:18,248 --> 01:16:21,497
Certainly you would give any
information you had on a case...

1236
01:16:21,612 --> 01:16:23,769
to your investigating staff?

1237
01:16:23,932 --> 01:16:25,169
Certainly.

1238
01:16:26,013 --> 01:16:27,211
Mr Horgan...

1239
01:16:27,652 --> 01:16:30,615
you removed a file, a
so-called B file...

1240
01:16:30,932 --> 01:16:34,978
from Ms Polhemus' office after the
investigation of her murder began?

1241
01:16:35,371 --> 01:16:37,049
What's the relevance of this?

1242
01:16:37,125 --> 01:16:39,896
The witness has testified
on direct examination...

1243
01:16:39,963 --> 01:16:43,684
that Mr Sabich did not bring to
his attention information...

1244
01:16:43,847 --> 01:16:45,371
that he regarded as pertinent.

1245
01:16:45,448 --> 01:16:47,763
The defence is
entitled to explore Mr...

1246
01:16:47,764 --> 01:16:49,897
Horgan's standards in this regard.

1247
01:16:50,482 --> 01:16:53,291
Subject to a later
connection, I'll allow it.

1248
01:16:54,087 --> 01:16:55,525
Continue, Counsellor.

1249
01:16:56,004 --> 01:16:58,813
And you gave that B
file to Mr Sabich...

1250
01:16:59,207 --> 01:17:03,090
only after he informed you it was
missing from Ms Polhemus' office?

1251
01:17:03,886 --> 01:17:05,209
That's true.

1252
01:17:06,244 --> 01:17:09,053
You've told us that you
and Carolyn were lovers.

1253
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:11,172
For a short time, yes.

1254
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:13,646
B-file cases...

1255
01:17:14,078 --> 01:17:17,050
cases involving bribery and
official misconduct...

1256
01:17:17,481 --> 01:17:20,559
are normally assigned to
the assistant deputy.

1257
01:17:20,962 --> 01:17:23,435
At the time, Mr Sabich.
Is that not true?

1258
01:17:23,522 --> 01:17:25,248
That was the usual practise, yes.

1259
01:17:25,315 --> 01:17:28,795
You gave this highly sensitive
matter in this B file...

1260
01:17:28,997 --> 01:17:31,882
to Carolyn Polhemus while
you were sleeping with her?

1261
01:17:31,959 --> 01:17:34,001
That appears to be the time frame.

1262
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:38,201
The answer to the question is yes.

1263
01:17:39,553 --> 01:17:41,905
Weren't you concerned,
in the midst of

1264
01:17:41,906 --> 01:17:44,078
a nip-and-tuck
election campaign...

1265
01:17:44,472 --> 01:17:47,760
about word leaking out that you
had secretly given a file...

1266
01:17:47,837 --> 01:17:50,119
that was in Mr Sabich's
area of authority...

1267
01:17:50,196 --> 01:17:52,842
to an assistant with no
experience in such matters...

1268
01:17:52,909 --> 01:17:55,392
with whom you were
sleeping at the time?

1269
01:17:56,476 --> 01:17:58,393
It may have crossed my mind.

1270
01:17:59,515 --> 01:18:02,238
Who knows? It was not
an ideal situation.

1271
01:18:03,667 --> 01:18:04,875
Far from it.

1272
01:18:06,591 --> 01:18:07,751
And, sir...

1273
01:18:08,269 --> 01:18:10,196
you come to this courtroom...

1274
01:18:10,273 --> 01:18:12,162
where the life of a man...

1275
01:18:12,267 --> 01:18:16,275
who served you faithfully for 12
years now hangs in the balance...

1276
01:18:16,428 --> 01:18:19,036
and you tell us you withheld
evidence from him...

1277
01:18:19,103 --> 01:18:22,076
that might have assisted
in his investigation?

1278
01:18:33,428 --> 01:18:34,502
All right.

1279
01:18:37,944 --> 01:18:39,516
Is it fair to say...

1280
01:18:39,986 --> 01:18:42,910
that the chief deputy is the
person in the office...

1281
01:18:42,987 --> 01:18:46,026
in whose judgement you place
the greatest confidence?

1282
01:18:47,781 --> 01:18:50,667
I regarded him as the best
lawyer for the job, yes.

1283
01:18:50,782 --> 01:18:53,352
And you gave Mr Sabich
the authority...

1284
01:18:53,783 --> 01:18:57,024
to decide when and where
to fire Mr Della Guardia?

1285
01:18:57,216 --> 01:18:58,548
Gentlemen...

1286
01:18:59,095 --> 01:19:00,859
let's stop right there.

1287
01:19:02,777 --> 01:19:05,183
What is the relevance
of who fired who?

1288
01:19:05,375 --> 01:19:07,214
Judge, it's our theory that Mr...

1289
01:19:07,215 --> 01:19:09,546
Sabich is being
framed in this case.

1290
01:19:10,936 --> 01:19:13,784
- I don't believe it.
- Your response has been noted.

1291
01:19:14,014 --> 01:19:17,063
If Mr Stern is truly going
to endeavour to prove...

1292
01:19:17,178 --> 01:19:20,495
that the case against Mr Sabich
has been manufactured...

1293
01:19:20,620 --> 01:19:24,254
then this history of antagonism
is relevant for those purposes.

1294
01:19:24,378 --> 01:19:26,584
What about this missing B file?

1295
01:19:26,651 --> 01:19:29,575
We believe it's being withheld
because it contains evidence...

1296
01:19:29,652 --> 01:19:31,704
that is necessary to the defence.

1297
01:19:31,771 --> 01:19:34,427
So, we intend to
pursue this matter...

1298
01:19:34,849 --> 01:19:38,492
until we have a full understanding
on how it bears on the truth.

1299
01:19:38,808 --> 01:19:42,414
I don't know where this will lead
us, but I'll tell you two things:

1300
01:19:42,567 --> 01:19:45,252
You'd better be prepared for
the prosecution's response...

1301
01:19:45,328 --> 01:19:47,534
because he is going
to be entitled to a

1302
01:19:47,535 --> 01:19:49,576
great deal of latitude
in answering.

1303
01:19:49,892 --> 01:19:52,097
Because I am going
to give him that.

1304
01:19:56,805 --> 01:19:58,879
Do you recall we
spoke about a B file

1305
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:00,736
that you assigned to Ms Polhemus?

1306
01:20:01,446 --> 01:20:03,450
I'll remember it for
quite some time.

1307
01:20:03,526 --> 01:20:05,797
Was Mr Molto involved
in this case?

1308
01:20:05,798 --> 01:20:06,798
Objection.

1309
01:20:06,799 --> 01:20:08,129
Objection sustained.

1310
01:20:08,282 --> 01:20:10,813
Mr Stern, you're
playing with fire.

1311
01:20:12,366 --> 01:20:15,770
Do you know what investigation,
if any, Mr Molto pursued...

1312
01:20:15,847 --> 01:20:17,812
I'll answer that.
He took no action.

1313
01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:20,248
He wasn't going to chase
Sabich's red herrings.

1314
01:20:20,324 --> 01:20:23,642
Mr Della Guardia, you will
remember you're the prosecutor...

1315
01:20:23,719 --> 01:20:25,243
not the witness.

1316
01:20:30,881 --> 01:20:34,965
Perhaps we can all learn something
about red herrings and scapegoats.

1317
01:20:35,924 --> 01:20:37,286
That is all.

1318
01:20:37,679 --> 01:20:40,162
This court is adjourned
for the weekend.

1319
01:20:41,677 --> 01:20:43,921
I don't understand
what you're doing.

1320
01:20:44,323 --> 01:20:46,241
You're alienating the judge.

1321
01:20:46,481 --> 01:20:48,549
When I said they
manufactured a case,

1322
01:20:48,550 --> 01:20:50,402
you wanted nothing to do with it.

1323
01:20:50,795 --> 01:20:52,761
Clearly, I changed my mind.

1324
01:20:53,039 --> 01:20:54,611
On the basis of what?

1325
01:20:54,995 --> 01:20:56,155
Instinct.

1326
01:21:00,115 --> 01:21:02,435
If you don't like it, you
can always come home.

1327
01:21:02,512 --> 01:21:03,758
I wanna go.

1328
01:21:04,151 --> 01:21:06,040
All my friends will be there.

1329
01:21:06,673 --> 01:21:08,006
I'll be okay.

1330
01:21:12,071 --> 01:21:13,883
Come here. Sit down.

1331
01:21:15,791 --> 01:21:18,524
Look, I'm accused of doing
something I didn't do.

1332
01:21:19,156 --> 01:21:22,522
This trial is gonna give me
a chance to clear myself.

1333
01:21:23,193 --> 01:21:25,322
- That's what's gonna happen.
- Of course.

1334
01:21:25,389 --> 01:21:26,549
Of course.

1335
01:21:27,709 --> 01:21:30,116
Here are the postcards. Use them.

1336
01:21:30,231 --> 01:21:32,474
- Don't forget to write.
- They make me.

1337
01:21:32,954 --> 01:21:34,315
What about me?

1338
01:21:45,084 --> 01:21:46,608
Did Mr Sabich ever tell you...

1339
01:21:46,685 --> 01:21:49,657
he had a personal relationship
with Ms Polhemus?

1340
01:21:50,165 --> 01:21:51,165
No.

1341
01:21:51,565 --> 01:21:53,167
Did Mr Sabich, at any time...

1342
01:21:53,243 --> 01:21:56,935
order you not to get phone
records of calls from his home?

1343
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:59,370
He never ordered me. He asked me.

1344
01:21:59,523 --> 01:22:02,007
He asked you not to
get those records?

1345
01:22:02,323 --> 01:22:03,406
Did you oblige him?

1346
01:22:03,483 --> 01:22:06,484
I was taken off the case
before I got to those records.

1347
01:22:06,599 --> 01:22:08,554
You did or did not
get those records?

1348
01:22:08,555 --> 01:22:09,591
I did not.

1349
01:22:09,592 --> 01:22:12,285
We had a lot of higher-priority
items on our mind.

1350
01:22:13,963 --> 01:22:15,372
A high-priority item...

1351
01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:19,725
was the analysis of fingerprints
found in Ms Polhemus' apartment.

1352
01:22:20,003 --> 01:22:21,969
Who talked with the
Fingerprint Lab?

1353
01:22:22,036 --> 01:22:23,119
Mr Sabich.

1354
01:22:23,196 --> 01:22:25,085
Did you ask him to
expedite the reports?

1355
01:22:25,162 --> 01:22:26,207
Yes, sir, I did.

1356
01:22:26,283 --> 01:22:28,489
What did he say, if anything?

1357
01:22:29,122 --> 01:22:30,445
He said he forgot.

1358
01:22:30,521 --> 01:22:31,806
He forgot?

1359
01:22:34,913 --> 01:22:36,360
Rusty forgot.

1360
01:22:37,396 --> 01:22:40,483
Would it be fair to say the two
of you, by working together...

1361
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:42,794
have formed a personal friendship?

1362
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:44,884
I suppose so, yes.

1363
01:22:45,191 --> 01:22:46,763
Were you assigned initially?

1364
01:22:46,831 --> 01:22:49,410
Harold Greer initially
handled the case.

1365
01:22:50,637 --> 01:22:52,794
Has Mr Sabich ever
expressed to you...

1366
01:22:52,871 --> 01:22:55,795
any reservations about
Harold Greer's abilities?

1367
01:22:56,035 --> 01:22:59,515
Everybody that I know thinks of
Harold Greer as a top-grade cop.

1368
01:22:59,755 --> 01:23:01,530
Do you know who decided to replace

1369
01:23:01,531 --> 01:23:03,725
Harold Greer and bring
you on this case?

1370
01:23:03,792 --> 01:23:05,153
Mr Sabich.

1371
01:23:07,474 --> 01:23:08,710
Do you feel...

1372
01:23:08,787 --> 01:23:09,842
withdrawn.

1373
01:23:10,312 --> 01:23:12,170
To your knowledge,
does the defendant

1374
01:23:12,171 --> 01:23:14,080
have a closer personal
relationship...

1375
01:23:14,147 --> 01:23:17,474
with anyone on the police
force than he does with you?

1376
01:23:17,992 --> 01:23:19,832
Not that he's mentioned, no.

1377
01:23:20,312 --> 01:23:22,354
So it's fair to say, Detective...

1378
01:23:22,431 --> 01:23:24,811
that you are the
police officer least

1379
01:23:24,812 --> 01:23:26,880
likely to suspect him of murder.

1380
01:23:27,704 --> 01:23:30,187
I would never believe that. Never.

1381
01:23:30,667 --> 01:23:32,795
Thank you for your
cooperation and answering...

1382
01:23:32,863 --> 01:23:36,190
what must have been painful and
difficult questions for you...

1383
01:23:36,266 --> 01:23:38,874
considering your relationship
to the defendant.

1384
01:23:38,941 --> 01:23:40,226
Nothing further.

1385
01:23:43,620 --> 01:23:46,353
You made reference to a theory
you were developing that...

1386
01:23:46,420 --> 01:23:49,469
Ms Polhemus might have been the
victim of a revenge killer.

1387
01:23:49,546 --> 01:23:51,310
Someone she had once sent to jail.

1388
01:23:51,387 --> 01:23:54,829
Yes, sir. We thought of that
as our most likely case.

1389
01:23:55,222 --> 01:23:57,465
To identify possible suspects...

1390
01:23:57,897 --> 01:24:00,306
you reviewed cases
she had prosecuted,

1391
01:24:00,307 --> 01:24:02,346
and was currently prosecuting...

1392
01:24:02,499 --> 01:24:04,340
going back several years? Correct?

1393
01:24:04,417 --> 01:24:05,500
Yes, sir.

1394
01:24:05,740 --> 01:24:07,744
Were you able to find
all those files?

1395
01:24:07,820 --> 01:24:09,738
No, sir. A file was missing.

1396
01:24:10,294 --> 01:24:12,586
This is the so-called B file...

1397
01:24:12,902 --> 01:24:15,299
that was withheld from
you and Mr Sabich...

1398
01:24:15,376 --> 01:24:18,703
until Mr Sabich requested it
personally from Mr Horgan?

1399
01:24:18,981 --> 01:24:19,981
Yes, sir.

1400
01:24:20,055 --> 01:24:21,704
It involved allegations...

1401
01:24:21,781 --> 01:24:23,142
Let's move on.

1402
01:24:24,139 --> 01:24:27,581
You've been warned about
riding off in all directions.

1403
01:24:27,811 --> 01:24:29,307
No further questions.

1404
01:24:29,892 --> 01:24:31,656
No redirect, Your Honour.

1405
01:24:32,337 --> 01:24:35,098
We need subpoenas for
Carolyn's doctors...

1406
01:24:35,376 --> 01:24:37,140
and for phone company records...

1407
01:24:37,217 --> 01:24:39,020
to check for errors.

1408
01:24:39,336 --> 01:24:41,781
I don't think we need
to bother with that.

1409
01:24:42,615 --> 01:24:45,693
You said there was something
wrong with the phone records.

1410
01:24:45,770 --> 01:24:48,819
That you never called Polhemus
the night of the murder.

1411
01:24:51,331 --> 01:24:54,332
Jamie, I'd like a moment
alone with my client.

1412
01:24:57,534 --> 01:24:58,896
- Sure.
- Thanks.

1413
01:25:07,966 --> 01:25:10,890
I used to call Carolyn's
apartment after it was over.

1414
01:25:13,009 --> 01:25:14,342
I'd call...

1415
01:25:16,921 --> 01:25:18,417
just to hear her voice.

1416
01:25:18,484 --> 01:25:20,689
Then I'd hang up,
like a goddamn kid.

1417
01:25:23,729 --> 01:25:26,931
I'm not sure I called that night
or not. I don't remember.

1418
01:25:29,127 --> 01:25:33,125
Contrary to my original hopes, we
will have to present a defence.

1419
01:25:39,961 --> 01:25:41,562
My first instinct is...

1420
01:25:41,725 --> 01:25:42,893
to put Barbara on
the witness stand.

1421
01:25:43,638 --> 01:25:44,638
No.

1422
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:48,005
She's an attractive woman and
there are five men in the jury.

1423
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:50,930
She can also support your
alibi quite effectively.

1424
01:25:50,997 --> 01:25:52,761
It's not negotiable, Sandy.

1425
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:00,805
When I was a prosecutor...

1426
01:26:00,872 --> 01:26:04,957
I always knew I had a winner when
the defendant refused to testify.

1427
01:26:06,597 --> 01:26:08,600
All I want to do is
to tell the truth.

1428
01:26:08,677 --> 01:26:11,649
The jury wants to hear
me say I didn't do it.

1429
01:26:11,793 --> 01:26:13,998
And that, you will do very well.

1430
01:26:17,632 --> 01:26:19,677
But with every word,
you will confirm

1431
01:26:19,678 --> 01:26:21,400
what the prosecution is saying.

1432
01:26:21,515 --> 01:26:23,960
That you were overwhelmed
with a sexual obsession...

1433
01:26:24,037 --> 01:26:27,719
that took a wrong turn into
rage when she ended the affair.

1434
01:26:28,428 --> 01:26:30,264
You will have gone a long way to

1435
01:26:30,265 --> 01:26:32,676
eliminating the jury's
reasonable doubt.

1436
01:26:33,673 --> 01:26:35,591
The State offers as evidence...

1437
01:26:36,070 --> 01:26:38,227
from the defendant's suitcoat...

1438
01:26:38,352 --> 01:26:42,034
a hair identified by the Police
Crime Lab as that of the deceased.

1439
01:26:42,110 --> 01:26:44,069
The skirt of the
deceased contaminated

1440
01:26:44,070 --> 01:26:45,879
with fibre identified
as Zorak V...

1441
01:26:45,946 --> 01:26:48,956
a carpet fabric found in
the home of the defendant.

1442
01:26:49,666 --> 01:26:52,072
Chemist's identification
of blood type...

1443
01:26:52,226 --> 01:26:55,553
and semen from the vagina
of the deceased as type A.

1444
01:26:56,023 --> 01:26:58,631
Results of a blood test
of Rozat Sabich...

1445
01:26:58,707 --> 01:27:01,028
identifying his as blood type A.

1446
01:27:02,149 --> 01:27:03,712
The shirt of the deceased,

1447
01:27:03,713 --> 01:27:06,119
contaminated with the
fibre Zorak V...

1448
01:27:06,867 --> 01:27:09,465
carpet fabric used in
the defendant's home.

1449
01:27:13,502 --> 01:27:15,793
The State calls Detective
Morris Dickerman.

1450
01:27:15,860 --> 01:27:17,941
This relates to missing evidence.

1451
01:27:18,142 --> 01:27:20,223
I hope you're not considering
allowing them...

1452
01:27:20,299 --> 01:27:21,772
to proceed with the fingerprint

1453
01:27:21,773 --> 01:27:23,627
evidence in the
absence of the glass.

1454
01:27:23,703 --> 01:27:26,867
If so, we would like to be
heard on that question.

1455
01:27:27,423 --> 01:27:29,025
I understand that.

1456
01:27:29,379 --> 01:27:32,505
You may want to do some
research into this issue.

1457
01:27:33,176 --> 01:27:36,657
You hit the books tonight and
I'll listen to you tomorrow.

1458
01:27:37,500 --> 01:27:39,102
And if I were you...

1459
01:27:39,456 --> 01:27:43,061
I'd roll up my shirtsleeves and
go to the Evidence Room...

1460
01:27:43,215 --> 01:27:45,056
and find that glass.

1461
01:27:45,497 --> 01:27:48,066
You're not going to
get any sleep again.

1462
01:27:48,172 --> 01:27:49,959
That glass is the
strongest piece of

1463
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:51,700
physical evidence
that I was there.

1464
01:27:51,777 --> 01:27:54,287
If I can find solid
precedents to keep it

1465
01:27:54,288 --> 01:27:56,619
out of evidence, their
case will fail.

1466
01:28:00,176 --> 01:28:03,139
Get something to eat and
don't drink too much coffee.

1467
01:28:05,775 --> 01:28:06,936
Thanks.

1468
01:28:07,012 --> 01:28:08,134
For what?

1469
01:28:08,489 --> 01:28:10,100
For hanging in there.

1470
01:28:11,854 --> 01:28:13,340
What did you expect?

1471
01:28:27,252 --> 01:28:28,691
Yeah, just a sec.

1472
01:28:30,925 --> 01:28:32,209
It's your uncle.

1473
01:28:34,367 --> 01:28:35,489
My uncle?

1474
01:28:42,286 --> 01:28:45,172
We got something on that
very important matter.

1475
01:28:46,361 --> 01:28:48,250
I'm downstairs, in the lobby.

1476
01:28:49,564 --> 01:28:52,296
We're working to keep the
glass out of evidence.

1477
01:28:52,440 --> 01:28:54,521
Fuck the glass. I found Leon.

1478
01:28:54,722 --> 01:28:56,851
Feature this. He's a Night Saint.

1479
01:29:22,920 --> 01:29:23,920
Leon.

1480
01:29:25,394 --> 01:29:27,005
Answer the door.

1481
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:35,557
Open up, Leon. It's the police.

1482
01:29:36,113 --> 01:29:37,954
We just want to talk, Leon.

1483
01:29:44,589 --> 01:29:45,797
On the floor.

1484
01:29:47,552 --> 01:29:50,122
- Don't even breathe.
- What the fuck you doing?

1485
01:29:54,110 --> 01:29:55,443
I'm Detective Lipranzer.

1486
01:29:55,510 --> 01:29:58,243
This is Mr Sabich from
the prosecutor's office.

1487
01:29:58,348 --> 01:30:00,237
We have a few questions, Leon.

1488
01:30:00,390 --> 01:30:03,315
If you're straight with us,
we're gone in five minutes.

1489
01:30:03,391 --> 01:30:05,836
Five, six years ago, you
paid off a deputy PA...

1490
01:30:05,913 --> 01:30:08,962
$1,500 to make some
trouble you had go away.

1491
01:30:09,508 --> 01:30:10,793
555-3469.

1492
01:30:11,867 --> 01:30:13,631
Jack Friedman, you ask for.

1493
01:30:17,946 --> 01:30:19,470
What the fuck he do that for?

1494
01:30:19,547 --> 01:30:21,944
He wants your complete attention.

1495
01:30:22,424 --> 01:30:24,609
Rusty Sabich is
getting on the phone,

1496
01:30:24,610 --> 01:30:26,911
he will tell your
present associates...

1497
01:30:26,987 --> 01:30:29,321
that five years ago
you paid off a PA to

1498
01:30:29,321 --> 01:30:31,542
get off a rap on
molesting an officer.

1499
01:30:31,906 --> 01:30:32,906
To wit:

1500
01:30:33,220 --> 01:30:36,671
Trying to get paid to suck
his cock in a public place.

1501
01:30:37,822 --> 01:30:39,030
Now, Leon...

1502
01:30:40,507 --> 01:30:43,028
how about five minutes
of your time?

1503
01:30:52,060 --> 01:30:53,824
This blonde bitch...

1504
01:30:55,138 --> 01:30:57,544
my probation officer, set it up.

1505
01:30:59,059 --> 01:31:00,785
In the PA's office.

1506
01:31:01,821 --> 01:31:03,662
Man standing behind me.

1507
01:31:09,299 --> 01:31:11,696
And she be telling
me, when I come in:

1508
01:31:12,971 --> 01:31:14,899
"Just don't turn around.

1509
01:31:16,174 --> 01:31:18,101
"Just do what the man say."

1510
01:31:20,613 --> 01:31:21,773
He said:

1511
01:31:25,129 --> 01:31:27,708
"Just leave the money
in the top drawer."

1512
01:31:30,489 --> 01:31:32,464
Fifteen hundred dollars.

1513
01:31:33,768 --> 01:31:35,379
You never saw him?

1514
01:31:36,174 --> 01:31:38,092
But he knows who it was.

1515
01:31:46,366 --> 01:31:48,016
Judge Motherfucker.

1516
01:31:50,566 --> 01:31:52,493
That's what we all call him.

1517
01:31:55,964 --> 01:31:57,460
Larren Lyttle.

1518
01:32:00,087 --> 01:32:01,976
I bet Larren was porking her...

1519
01:32:02,043 --> 01:32:04,651
and taking the money
to keep her in style.

1520
01:32:06,089 --> 01:32:08,131
Sometimes I hate being a cop.

1521
01:32:11,966 --> 01:32:15,092
Sorry, pal. You were
counting on it being Molto.

1522
01:32:20,241 --> 01:32:22,214
If you leak this
stuff we got on him

1523
01:32:22,215 --> 01:32:24,297
to Larren, he might
dismiss your case.

1524
01:32:29,723 --> 01:32:31,804
Okay, it was just a thought.

1525
01:32:34,278 --> 01:32:35,278
All rise.

1526
01:32:35,323 --> 01:32:38,372
This court is in session. Judge
Larren Lyttle presiding.

1527
01:32:44,834 --> 01:32:46,205
Where's Kemp?

1528
01:32:46,713 --> 01:32:49,047
We just received the
medical examiner's

1529
01:32:49,048 --> 01:32:51,325
files on the reports
from her doctors.

1530
01:32:51,479 --> 01:32:53,396
He's going over them right now.

1531
01:32:53,473 --> 01:32:56,608
We may have a surprise in
the medical testimony.

1532
01:32:59,159 --> 01:33:01,882
Mr Molto, you have
completed your search?

1533
01:33:07,836 --> 01:33:09,245
Your Honour...

1534
01:33:09,437 --> 01:33:12,400
the police have not been
able to locate the glass.

1535
01:33:12,630 --> 01:33:13,713
All right.

1536
01:33:14,193 --> 01:33:16,590
Mr Stern, I have studied
your arguments.

1537
01:33:17,107 --> 01:33:19,035
You are about to
hear the testimony

1538
01:33:19,036 --> 01:33:20,482
of a fingerprint expert...

1539
01:33:20,588 --> 01:33:22,709
concerning evidence
that he claims to

1540
01:33:22,710 --> 01:33:24,720
have identified on
a certain glass.

1541
01:33:25,669 --> 01:33:28,064
I am instructing you
as a matter of law

1542
01:33:28,065 --> 01:33:30,281
that you are entitled
to consider...

1543
01:33:30,550 --> 01:33:32,569
the prosecution's failure to make

1544
01:33:32,570 --> 01:33:34,836
the glass available
to the defence.

1545
01:33:35,152 --> 01:33:37,194
I am not telling you what to do.

1546
01:33:37,712 --> 01:33:40,282
But it is permissible for
that one fact alone...

1547
01:33:40,349 --> 01:33:42,342
to raise a reasonable doubt that

1548
01:33:42,343 --> 01:33:44,711
would require Mr
Sabich's acquittal.

1549
01:33:45,986 --> 01:33:48,144
Mr Stern's objection is overruled.

1550
01:33:48,824 --> 01:33:51,432
His exception is noted
for the record. Proceed.

1551
01:33:51,941 --> 01:33:53,024
I'm sorry.

1552
01:33:53,983 --> 01:33:55,795
He's right, under the law.

1553
01:33:56,543 --> 01:33:58,280
Based on the lateral slash on the

1554
01:33:58,281 --> 01:34:00,388
anterior portion of
the fingerprint...

1555
01:34:00,666 --> 01:34:02,794
the distinctive centre whorl...

1556
01:34:03,139 --> 01:34:05,824
and the exact match
on the top swirl...

1557
01:34:06,783 --> 01:34:09,070
I am certain the
fingerprint on the

1558
01:34:09,071 --> 01:34:11,232
glass from Polhemus' apartment...

1559
01:34:12,066 --> 01:34:14,143
is identical to that
contained in the

1560
01:34:14,143 --> 01:34:16,112
employment file of
Rozat K. Sabich.

1561
01:34:17,023 --> 01:34:18,068
Very good.

1562
01:34:19,295 --> 01:34:22,191
We are calling Dr Kumagai,
the county coroner.

1563
01:34:22,497 --> 01:34:24,549
There are three
depression fractures...

1564
01:34:24,616 --> 01:34:28,097
like from a heavy, blunt
instrument. Maybe a hammer.

1565
01:34:28,739 --> 01:34:30,657
Here... here... and here.

1566
01:34:32,421 --> 01:34:34,262
This, and this over here, are...

1567
01:34:34,339 --> 01:34:37,704
sharp, deep penetrations of
the skull and of the brain...

1568
01:34:37,819 --> 01:34:40,945
like with a hatchet, or
maybe a meat cleaver.

1569
01:34:41,453 --> 01:34:43,467
I call to your
attention the results

1570
01:34:43,468 --> 01:34:45,537
of the forensic
chemist's analysis...

1571
01:34:45,978 --> 01:34:47,503
State's exhibit 63.

1572
01:34:51,377 --> 01:34:53,946
I think we might just
nail this sucker.

1573
01:34:54,128 --> 01:34:56,164
That report states the specimen of

1574
01:34:56,165 --> 01:34:58,500
semen taken from Ms
Polhemus' body...

1575
01:34:59,172 --> 01:35:02,853
has been identified as being
of Mr Sabich's blood type.

1576
01:35:03,055 --> 01:35:04,339
You are correct.

1577
01:35:04,733 --> 01:35:07,734
It also indicates the
presence of chemicals...

1578
01:35:08,050 --> 01:35:09,335
consistent...

1579
01:35:09,488 --> 01:35:12,096
with the use of a
birth-control device.

1580
01:35:12,969 --> 01:35:14,206
A diaphragm.

1581
01:35:14,810 --> 01:35:15,855
It does.

1582
01:35:17,370 --> 01:35:19,450
Your opinion is that this was...

1583
01:35:19,843 --> 01:35:21,214
a staged rape?

1584
01:35:21,291 --> 01:35:22,969
That is my opinion.

1585
01:35:23,765 --> 01:35:25,452
And the way it was done...

1586
01:35:25,606 --> 01:35:26,890
suggests...

1587
01:35:27,763 --> 01:35:29,287
the knowledge...

1588
01:35:29,642 --> 01:35:31,809
of investigative techniques?

1589
01:35:32,768 --> 01:35:34,973
That's what I told Mr Molto.

1590
01:35:36,085 --> 01:35:38,329
All of these deductions depend...

1591
01:35:38,722 --> 01:35:41,330
on the presence of
spermicidal jelly...

1592
01:35:41,608 --> 01:35:44,734
in the specimen you sent
to the forensic chemist?

1593
01:35:44,839 --> 01:35:45,999
Yes, sir.

1594
01:35:47,323 --> 01:35:50,640
How many autopsies do you
perform in a week, Dr Kumagai?

1595
01:35:51,685 --> 01:35:52,922
One, two...

1596
01:35:53,564 --> 01:35:55,213
ten. It all depends.

1597
01:35:55,798 --> 01:35:59,490
Would it surprise you to know
you performed 18 autopsies...

1598
01:35:59,643 --> 01:36:02,798
in the two weeks surrounding
Carolyn Polhemus' death?

1599
01:36:02,999 --> 01:36:04,082
No, sir.

1600
01:36:05,003 --> 01:36:06,604
Sounds about right.

1601
01:36:07,601 --> 01:36:10,650
Given that number, isn't
it fair to say that...

1602
01:36:11,082 --> 01:36:14,322
the specifics of any one
examination may slip your mind?

1603
01:36:16,077 --> 01:36:18,474
I take notes while I
do the autopsies.

1604
01:36:18,953 --> 01:36:20,200
Notes, yes.

1605
01:36:21,676 --> 01:36:24,361
These notes led you to tell
Detective Lipranzer...

1606
01:36:24,438 --> 01:36:26,480
that the murderer was sterile?

1607
01:36:26,959 --> 01:36:29,634
Looking back, you must have
thought you were a fool...

1608
01:36:29,711 --> 01:36:31,963
to have escaped
something so obvious as

1609
01:36:31,964 --> 01:36:34,160
the use of a contraceptive
spermicide.

1610
01:36:35,435 --> 01:36:37,401
All the sperm were dead.

1611
01:36:38,628 --> 01:36:40,819
I didn't have the
forensic chemist's

1612
01:36:40,820 --> 01:36:42,952
report about the
spermicidal jelly.

1613
01:36:43,115 --> 01:36:45,576
In the absence of any
other explanation,

1614
01:36:45,577 --> 01:36:47,439
I thought the guy was sterile.

1615
01:36:49,827 --> 01:36:53,355
Do you recognise your notes of
your autopsy of Ms Polhemus?

1616
01:36:55,790 --> 01:36:57,679
Yes, sir, my signature.

1617
01:37:02,464 --> 01:37:04,439
Unless there is any objection...

1618
01:37:04,506 --> 01:37:08,303
would you please read the short
passage marked by the paper clips?

1619
01:37:09,348 --> 01:37:10,949
Page two, Counsel.

1620
01:37:11,582 --> 01:37:13,193
Read it out loud, please.

1621
01:37:13,269 --> 01:37:15,187
"The Fallopian tubes...

1622
01:37:15,388 --> 01:37:17,354
"are ligated and separated.

1623
01:37:17,785 --> 01:37:20,029
"The fimbriated ends appear..."

1624
01:37:33,260 --> 01:37:34,785
That's not right.

1625
01:37:35,101 --> 01:37:36,587
Your own autopsy notes?

1626
01:37:36,664 --> 01:37:39,550
You dictate them as you
perform the procedure.

1627
01:37:44,421 --> 01:37:45,421
But not right.

1628
01:37:45,456 --> 01:37:48,908
I show you the records of Dr
Lubin, a gynaecologist...

1629
01:37:49,263 --> 01:37:53,386
who performed this procedure on Ms
Polhemus six and a half years ago.

1630
01:37:55,735 --> 01:37:59,215
Would you explain to the jury
what a "tubal ligation" is?

1631
01:38:04,412 --> 01:38:07,020
Would you explain, in
layman's language...

1632
01:38:07,413 --> 01:38:09,340
what a "tubal ligation" is?

1633
01:38:18,650 --> 01:38:20,577
She had her tubes tied.

1634
01:38:22,811 --> 01:38:24,528
Is it possible for a woman with

1635
01:38:24,529 --> 01:38:26,579
this procedure to
conceive a child?

1636
01:38:27,811 --> 01:38:28,811
No way.

1637
01:38:28,813 --> 01:38:30,731
Can you think of any reason...

1638
01:38:31,133 --> 01:38:33,732
for a woman who had
her tubes tied...

1639
01:38:34,087 --> 01:38:35,822
to use a spermicide?

1640
01:38:38,046 --> 01:38:39,379
No reason.

1641
01:38:40,165 --> 01:38:41,776
No medical reason.

1642
01:38:43,243 --> 01:38:44,327
I think of nothing.

1643
01:38:44,403 --> 01:38:47,059
Does it not follow,
given these facts...

1644
01:38:47,203 --> 01:38:49,734
that the specimen you
sent to the chemist...

1645
01:38:49,811 --> 01:38:52,774
was not taken from the
body of Carolyn Polhemus?

1646
01:38:54,010 --> 01:38:55,928
I can't account for it.

1647
01:38:58,728 --> 01:39:00,722
So you don't know what happened.

1648
01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:05,650
Wherever you got that
specimen from, Doctor...

1649
01:39:06,561 --> 01:39:08,402
you sent it to the chemist...

1650
01:39:08,479 --> 01:39:11,451
while you were secretly
communicating with Mr Molto...

1651
01:39:11,518 --> 01:39:13,445
behind Mr Sabich's
back. Am I right?

1652
01:39:13,522 --> 01:39:15,679
Do you accuse me, Mr Stern?

1653
01:39:16,878 --> 01:39:18,402
Sit down, Doctor.

1654
01:39:20,636 --> 01:39:22,448
I think we have had enough...

1655
01:39:22,516 --> 01:39:25,363
unsupported accusations
for one case...

1656
01:39:28,278 --> 01:39:29,764
Dr Kumagai.

1657
01:39:30,637 --> 01:39:32,372
You may step down, Doctor.

1658
01:39:33,082 --> 01:39:36,524
Do I take it, Mr Delay
Guardia, that the State rests?

1659
01:39:40,953 --> 01:39:42,564
Judge, may we approach?

1660
01:39:49,717 --> 01:39:51,999
We would like Mr Molto to testify.

1661
01:39:52,238 --> 01:39:53,238
No.

1662
01:39:53,274 --> 01:39:56,160
Judge, you said we would be
entitled to some leeway...

1663
01:39:56,237 --> 01:39:59,238
if the defence proceeded
with this frame-up theory.

1664
01:39:59,314 --> 01:40:02,076
Yes, but I did not know
then, Mr Della Guardia...

1665
01:40:02,191 --> 01:40:04,327
that your evidence would disappear

1666
01:40:04,328 --> 01:40:06,716
after last being
seen with Mr Molto.

1667
01:40:06,831 --> 01:40:08,720
I didn't know that Mr Molto...

1668
01:40:08,787 --> 01:40:11,798
and the chief pathologist
would manufacture evidence...

1669
01:40:11,875 --> 01:40:13,399
and testimony.

1670
01:40:13,466 --> 01:40:15,208
And I tell you, that is a fair

1671
01:40:15,209 --> 01:40:17,359
interpretation of
the day's events.

1672
01:40:17,474 --> 01:40:20,676
I'm still considering the question
of what happens to Mr Molto...

1673
01:40:20,753 --> 01:40:22,354
but what isn't gonna happen...

1674
01:40:22,431 --> 01:40:25,557
is him getting up on the witness
stand and making matters worse.

1675
01:40:25,624 --> 01:40:27,388
Withdraw, gentlemen.

1676
01:40:32,949 --> 01:40:36,113
On behalf of the people of
Kindle County, the State rests.

1677
01:40:37,062 --> 01:40:38,798
This court is adjourned.

1678
01:40:39,105 --> 01:40:41,004
You should savour today, Sandy. No

1679
01:40:41,005 --> 01:40:43,074
lawyer gets many
crosses like that.

1680
01:40:43,227 --> 01:40:45,116
What a colossal blunder.

1681
01:40:46,420 --> 01:40:49,105
Tomorrow I will make the
motion for a dismissal.

1682
01:40:49,182 --> 01:40:53,237
If the dismissal is not granted,
we must proceed with the defence.

1683
01:40:54,858 --> 01:40:57,907
I need to know if you still
insist on testifying.

1684
01:40:59,498 --> 01:41:01,310
Of course, you know
my strong objections.

1685
01:41:04,062 --> 01:41:06,536
Why is he so against
your testifying?

1686
01:41:07,063 --> 01:41:08,993
He's afraid I'll
tell the truth about

1687
01:41:08,994 --> 01:41:10,620
my relationship with Carolyn...

1688
01:41:10,697 --> 01:41:14,149
thus giving the prosecution the
motive they've been lacking.

1689
01:41:15,261 --> 01:41:16,699
One could argue...

1690
01:41:17,773 --> 01:41:19,609
if the jury feels
I'm being truthful

1691
01:41:19,610 --> 01:41:21,100
about something so painful...

1692
01:41:21,177 --> 01:41:24,782
they should believe me when I
say I didn't commit the murder.

1693
01:41:26,613 --> 01:41:28,138
What would you think?

1694
01:41:29,259 --> 01:41:31,340
If I were a member of the jury?

1695
01:41:35,731 --> 01:41:38,464
And I heard you admit how
much she meant to you?

1696
01:41:42,213 --> 01:41:44,533
I think I'd conclude
you were guilty.

1697
01:41:49,174 --> 01:41:50,698
I want to testify.

1698
01:41:53,287 --> 01:41:54,859
What would you say?

1699
01:41:59,289 --> 01:42:01,897
I'd say you were the
only man I ever loved.

1700
01:42:04,284 --> 01:42:05,732
And I still do.

1701
01:42:08,647 --> 01:42:11,571
Before we begin our presentation,
I would like to...

1702
01:42:11,686 --> 01:42:13,652
Make a motion for dismissal?

1703
01:42:14,083 --> 01:42:15,090
Yes, Your Honour.

1704
01:42:15,167 --> 01:42:16,816
Sit down, Counsellor.

1705
01:42:22,003 --> 01:42:25,483
I have reflected on this case at
length, ladies and gentlemen.

1706
01:42:27,487 --> 01:42:28,925
I understand...

1707
01:42:29,127 --> 01:42:31,601
the prosecutors have suspicions.

1708
01:42:33,240 --> 01:42:35,810
Perhaps Mr Sabich was
there that night.

1709
01:42:36,279 --> 01:42:38,408
The State might be granted that.

1710
01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:41,764
And if the prosecutors had
ever found that glass...

1711
01:42:42,358 --> 01:42:44,439
I might be more convinced.

1712
01:42:44,765 --> 01:42:46,519
Maybe before yesterday...

1713
01:42:47,123 --> 01:42:49,457
I might have said
there were reasonable

1714
01:42:49,457 --> 01:42:51,208
grounds for those suspicions.

1715
01:42:51,361 --> 01:42:53,356
But now, I'm not so sure.

1716
01:42:56,280 --> 01:42:58,044
So after yesterday...

1717
01:42:58,677 --> 01:43:00,997
there is no proof of motive here.

1718
01:43:01,275 --> 01:43:03,674
There is no concrete
evidence that there

1719
01:43:03,675 --> 01:43:05,724
ever was an intimate relationship.

1720
01:43:06,319 --> 01:43:08,888
There is no effective proof,
so far as I am concerned...

1721
01:43:08,955 --> 01:43:12,599
that would give a reasonable
person grounds to believe that...

1722
01:43:12,877 --> 01:43:15,354
Mr Sabich had carnal
relations with Ms...

1723
01:43:15,355 --> 01:43:17,642
Polhemus on the
night of her death.

1724
01:43:18,476 --> 01:43:19,914
In point of fact...

1725
01:43:20,116 --> 01:43:22,848
there's not one shred
of direct proof...

1726
01:43:23,069 --> 01:43:25,840
that Mr Sabich
murdered Ms Polhemus.

1727
01:43:28,275 --> 01:43:30,039
Under these circumstances...

1728
01:43:30,106 --> 01:43:32,513
I cannot allow this
trial to continue.

1729
01:43:34,028 --> 01:43:35,236
Mr Sabich...

1730
01:43:36,348 --> 01:43:38,189
you are discharged, sir.

1731
01:43:40,068 --> 01:43:43,041
I cannot begin to tell
you how sorry I am...

1732
01:43:43,146 --> 01:43:45,390
that any of this has taken place.

1733
01:43:46,828 --> 01:43:49,561
Not even the pleasure
of seeing you free...

1734
01:43:49,704 --> 01:43:51,114
can make up for this...

1735
01:43:51,191 --> 01:43:53,789
this disgrace to the
cause of justice.

1736
01:43:55,150 --> 01:43:56,915
I wish you Godspeed.

1737
01:43:59,062 --> 01:44:00,558
Case dismissed.

1738
01:44:12,984 --> 01:44:14,470
Hey, Rusty. Come on.

1739
01:44:14,825 --> 01:44:16,551
Give the missus a big hug.

1740
01:44:21,383 --> 01:44:24,384
Nobody can say anything
adequate at a time like this.

1741
01:44:24,461 --> 01:44:27,193
We're very grateful, very
pleased it's all over.

1742
01:44:27,903 --> 01:44:29,427
I want to go home, now.

1743
01:44:29,504 --> 01:44:32,074
I'll talk to Nat. I'll
phone him, tell him.

1744
01:44:32,975 --> 01:44:36,139
For the record, I have the
highest regard for Rusty Sabich.

1745
01:44:36,216 --> 01:44:38,459
You think you're out of a job?

1746
01:44:41,173 --> 01:44:42,707
You're the very best.

1747
01:44:48,019 --> 01:44:51,221
How'd you know what was behind
Larren's fear of the B file?

1748
01:44:52,055 --> 01:44:54,423
You question the
judge's integrity?

1749
01:44:55,219 --> 01:44:57,338
With just cause, wouldn't you say?

1750
01:44:57,770 --> 01:45:01,221
You knew that file didn't have
a damn thing to do with my case.

1751
01:45:01,614 --> 01:45:05,172
Yet you let Larren know you'd
drag it in at any opportunity.

1752
01:45:05,450 --> 01:45:07,818
That it would come out
that he was taking bribes.

1753
01:45:07,895 --> 01:45:09,937
That Carolyn was the courier.

1754
01:45:12,650 --> 01:45:14,414
You blackmailed him, Sandy.

1755
01:45:19,208 --> 01:45:20,810
We speak now tonight...

1756
01:45:22,612 --> 01:45:25,210
and these things
are never spoken of again.

1757
01:45:26,572 --> 01:45:27,572
Agreed?

1758
01:45:31,529 --> 01:45:34,415
Larren's divorce left him
in a state of disorder.

1759
01:45:35,364 --> 01:45:37,765
He was drinking too
heavily and fell into

1760
01:45:37,766 --> 01:45:40,053
a relationship with
a beautiful, but...

1761
01:45:40,321 --> 01:45:41,932
self-serving woman.

1762
01:45:43,687 --> 01:45:44,847
The fact is...

1763
01:45:44,923 --> 01:45:47,848
Larren himself
grew suicidally depressed.

1764
01:45:48,682 --> 01:45:51,050
He wanted to resign
from the bench.

1765
01:45:51,242 --> 01:45:53,610
Raymond Horgan
talked him out of it.

1766
01:45:53,926 --> 01:45:56,007
Raymond knew he was taking bribes?

1767
01:45:56,803 --> 01:45:58,404
Larren told him.

1768
01:46:00,322 --> 01:46:03,534
Raymond cleaned up the Northside,
as you recall...

1769
01:46:04,521 --> 01:46:07,254
and he also rescued
a distinguished mind...

1770
01:46:07,398 --> 01:46:10,082
and a career that does honour
to the bench.

1771
01:46:14,915 --> 01:46:18,242
I believe Larren today did
what he thought was just.

1772
01:46:20,639 --> 01:46:22,240
You tell me, Rusty.

1773
01:46:23,879 --> 01:46:25,481
Was justice done?

1774
01:46:35,232 --> 01:46:36,679
How are you doing?

1775
01:46:45,309 --> 01:46:46,833
Christmas present.

1776
01:47:00,467 --> 01:47:01,551
Jesus...

1777
01:47:04,350 --> 01:47:07,399
you're hanging your ass out
a good long way on this one.

1778
01:47:07,869 --> 01:47:09,787
It was them that fucked up.

1779
01:47:10,506 --> 01:47:13,718
Remember, they came around,
they grabbed all the evidence.

1780
01:47:14,025 --> 01:47:16,920
The glass wasn't there.
I took it down to Dickerman.

1781
01:47:17,821 --> 01:47:20,276
The very next day
I get a call from the lab.

1782
01:47:20,343 --> 01:47:22,913
The test is done.
I can pick up my glass.

1783
01:47:23,948 --> 01:47:26,321
When I went down
there, Molto had signed

1784
01:47:26,322 --> 01:47:28,349
a receipt, "Returned to Evidence."

1785
01:47:28,905 --> 01:47:31,552
The idea was that
I'll put it back in.

1786
01:47:32,261 --> 01:47:34,553
Only I got nowhere to put it...

1787
01:47:35,061 --> 01:47:37,717
since it ain't my
goddamn case any more.

1788
01:47:39,462 --> 01:47:41,619
So I tossed the
thing in my drawer.

1789
01:47:42,261 --> 01:47:45,234
I figured, sooner or later
somebody's got to ask me.

1790
01:47:46,576 --> 01:47:47,784
Nobody did.

1791
01:47:48,743 --> 01:47:50,344
You think I killed her.

1792
01:47:53,297 --> 01:47:54,985
The lady was bad news.

1793
01:47:59,462 --> 01:48:01,456
That makes it okay I killed her?

1794
01:48:01,533 --> 01:48:02,780
Did you?

1795
01:48:05,253 --> 01:48:06,337
Oh, pal.

1796
01:48:28,811 --> 01:48:29,811
Nat.

1797
01:48:30,729 --> 01:48:32,013
Where's Mum?

1798
01:48:32,176 --> 01:48:34,650
Upstairs in the bathroom
throwing up when I saw her.

1799
01:48:34,727 --> 01:48:36,970
She's got her
university interview today.

1800
01:48:37,047 --> 01:48:38,332
What's the big deal?

1801
01:48:38,409 --> 01:48:40,010
No eggs for me, thank you.

1802
01:48:40,087 --> 01:48:41,371
That looks nice.

1803
01:48:41,448 --> 01:48:42,579
You think?

1804
01:48:42,886 --> 01:48:46,261
That dumb old college would be
lucky to have you teaching there.

1805
01:48:46,328 --> 01:48:47,690
You tell her, kid.

1806
01:48:48,572 --> 01:48:51,650
I'll do some work around the house
while I still have time.

1807
01:48:51,726 --> 01:48:53,299
I've lived to see the day.

1808
01:48:53,366 --> 01:48:55,773
Give me a hand with the fence
when you get home.

1809
01:48:55,849 --> 01:48:57,613
I can't. I got a
game after school.

1810
01:48:57,690 --> 01:48:58,927
Good luck, Mum.

1811
01:49:07,681 --> 01:49:09,052
Go get them, kid.

1812
01:51:07,339 --> 01:51:08,624
I did it.

1813
01:51:15,057 --> 01:51:16,745
I fooled them all.

1814
01:51:19,823 --> 01:51:21,146
The interview.

1815
01:51:22,335 --> 01:51:24,339
They think I'm qualified.

1816
01:52:28,089 --> 01:52:30,659
You understand what happened
had to happen.

1817
01:52:32,682 --> 01:52:35,127
It couldn't have turned out
any other way.

1818
01:52:37,965 --> 01:52:39,806
A woman's depressed...

1819
01:52:41,723 --> 01:52:43,133
with herself...

1820
01:52:44,245 --> 01:52:45,606
with life...

1821
01:52:47,284 --> 01:52:49,204
with her husband,
who had made life

1822
01:52:49,205 --> 01:52:50,966
possible for her until he was...

1823
01:52:51,043 --> 01:52:53,248
bewitched by another woman.

1824
01:52:54,964 --> 01:52:56,374
A destroyer.

1825
01:53:01,283 --> 01:53:02,692
Abandoned...

1826
01:53:05,760 --> 01:53:07,841
like someone left for dead...

1827
01:53:09,519 --> 01:53:11,523
she plans her suicide.

1828
01:53:14,955 --> 01:53:16,883
Until the dream begins.

1829
01:53:18,838 --> 01:53:21,523
In the dream, the
destroyer's destroyed.

1830
01:53:22,875 --> 01:53:24,956
That's a dream worth living for.

1831
01:53:29,750 --> 01:53:31,725
Now, with such simplicity...

1832
01:53:35,349 --> 01:53:38,360
such clarity,
everything falls into place.

1833
01:53:41,830 --> 01:53:43,643
It must be a crime...

1834
01:53:44,026 --> 01:53:46,292
that her husband
can declare unsolved

1835
01:53:46,293 --> 01:53:48,322
and be believed by all the world.

1836
01:53:49,309 --> 01:53:51,601
She must make it look like a rape.

1837
01:53:53,144 --> 01:53:55,752
But she must leave
her husband clueless.

1838
01:53:56,232 --> 01:53:58,514
Once he discovers who it was...

1839
01:53:59,866 --> 01:54:03,193
he'll put the case into the file
of the unsolved murders.

1840
01:54:04,909 --> 01:54:06,826
Another break-in by some...

1841
01:54:07,344 --> 01:54:08,945
sex-crazed man.

1842
01:54:13,864 --> 01:54:15,350
But all his life...

1843
01:54:16,903 --> 01:54:18,955
he'll know that it was her.

1844
01:54:23,701 --> 01:54:26,463
She remembers a set of glasses
she bought for the woman...

1845
01:54:26,539 --> 01:54:28,919
some time before,
a housewarming gift

1846
01:54:28,920 --> 01:54:30,988
from her husband and his office.

1847
01:54:31,458 --> 01:54:33,193
She buys another set.

1848
01:54:34,459 --> 01:54:36,942
Her husband has a
beer one night...

1849
01:54:39,138 --> 01:54:41,382
doesn't even comment on the glass.

1850
01:54:42,503 --> 01:54:44,392
Now she has his fingerprints.

1851
01:54:48,736 --> 01:54:50,739
Then on a few mornings...

1852
01:54:52,216 --> 01:54:56,137
she saves the fluid that comes out
when she removes her diaphragm.

1853
01:55:02,456 --> 01:55:04,374
Puts it in a plastic bag.

1854
01:55:05,850 --> 01:55:08,170
Puts the bag in the
basement freezer...

1855
01:55:09,379 --> 01:55:10,615
and waits.

1856
01:55:13,415 --> 01:55:15,985
She calls the woman
and asks to see her.

1857
01:55:16,733 --> 01:55:19,705
Stops first at the U
and logs onto the computer.

1858
01:55:19,973 --> 01:55:21,814
Now she has her alibi.

1859
01:55:24,211 --> 01:55:26,052
She goes to the woman.

1860
01:55:26,934 --> 01:55:28,775
The woman lets her in.

1861
01:55:29,811 --> 01:55:32,123
When her head is
turned, she removes the

1862
01:55:32,124 --> 01:55:34,211
instrument from her
bag and strikes.

1863
01:55:36,685 --> 01:55:38,536
The destroyer is destroyed.

1864
01:55:42,006 --> 01:55:43,934
She takes a cord out...

1865
01:55:45,851 --> 01:55:47,817
that she brought along...

1866
01:55:49,926 --> 01:55:51,652
and ties her body...

1867
01:55:52,208 --> 01:55:55,094
in ways her husband described
perverts do.

1868
01:55:58,047 --> 01:55:59,725
She feels power...

1869
01:56:01,643 --> 01:56:03,004
control...

1870
01:56:04,845 --> 01:56:08,086
a sense that she's guided
by a force beyond herself.

1871
01:56:11,039 --> 01:56:14,845
Takes a syringe and injects
the contents of the Ziploc bag,

1872
01:56:16,485 --> 01:56:18,566
leaves the glass on the bar,

1873
01:56:19,601 --> 01:56:21,921
unlocks the door and windows...

1874
01:56:24,203 --> 01:56:25,565
and goes home.

1875
01:56:29,601 --> 01:56:31,442
And life begins again.

1876
01:56:37,914 --> 01:56:39,362
Until a trial...

1877
01:56:42,353 --> 01:56:44,645
when she sees her
husband suffer...

1878
01:56:45,910 --> 01:56:47,521
the way she never...

1879
01:56:48,557 --> 01:56:49,794
intended.

1880
01:56:52,478 --> 01:56:54,559
She is prepared to tell the truth.

1881
01:56:55,796 --> 01:56:57,560
Right up to the very end.

1882
01:57:01,069 --> 01:57:02,354
But magically...

1883
01:57:05,029 --> 01:57:06,956
the charges were dismissed.

1884
01:57:10,312 --> 01:57:12,076
The suffering was over.

1885
01:57:14,828 --> 01:57:16,324
They were saved.

1886
01:57:22,546 --> 01:57:23,630
Saved?

1887
01:57:32,748 --> 01:57:35,068
The murder of Carolyn Polhemus...

1888
01:57:35,663 --> 01:57:37,427
remains unsolved.

1889
01:57:39,584 --> 01:57:43,832
It is a practical impossibility to
try two people for the same crime.

1890
01:57:46,066 --> 01:57:47,830
Even if it wasn't...

1891
01:57:49,143 --> 01:57:51,953
I couldn't take his
mother from my son.

1892
01:57:54,426 --> 01:57:56,075
I'm a prosecutor.

1893
01:57:56,421 --> 01:57:59,546
I have spent my life
in the assignment of blame.

1894
01:58:01,617 --> 01:58:04,101
With all deliberation
and intent...

1895
01:58:04,781 --> 01:58:06,785
I reached for Carolyn.

1896
01:58:07,456 --> 01:58:09,623
I cannot pretend
it was an accident.

1897
01:58:11,742 --> 01:58:13,152
I reached for Carolyn...

1898
01:58:13,219 --> 01:58:16,536
and set off that insane mix
of rage and lunacy...

1899
01:58:18,540 --> 01:58:21,062
that led one human being
to kill another.

1900
01:58:24,015 --> 01:58:25,376
There was a crime.

1901
01:58:27,332 --> 01:58:28,905
There was a victim.

1902
01:58:31,292 --> 01:58:33,056
And there is punishment.
