Five years ago when she worked
out here as a probation officer.

- Sure you did.

There was a lot of talk

344

- You got my genes in the math department.

I'd still be taking algebra.

I mean, like borrow
someone else's homework?

Seems so strange to be talking about her
after all these years.

377
00:26:55,490 --> 00:26:57,991
You hadn't had much contact
with her, then?

00:26:58,159 --> 00:27:00,494
None since she left.

What about her family?

380
00:27:02,371 --> 00:27:05,457
Mr. Sabich, I have no idea
where she came from.

381
00:27:05,625 --> 00:27:07,959
She admitted that she lied
her way into university.

382
00:27:08,127 --> 00:27:11,588
Made up some kind of background.

383
00:27:11,798 --> 00:27:14,549
She was very good at playing roles.

When she left me, I lost all pride.

I begged her not to leave.

386
00:27:22,099 --> 00:27:25,560
The last time she looked at me
it was with disgust.

387
00:27:25,728 --> 00:27:30,065
Disgust that somebody she'd looked up to
could be so weak.

388
00:27:30,233 --> 00:27:34,778
At that moment, I remember, I had the most
desperate wish that she were dead.

389
00:27:37,740 --> 00:27:42,577
Maybe she made a man feel like that
who actually acted on his fantasy.

390
00:27:43,913 --> 00:27:48,208
Would you like to see
what she looked like at that time?

Yes, I would.

One more question.

504
00:34:41,163 --> 00:34:44,540
I gave her the B file
because she asked me for it.

505
00:34:46,835 --> 00:34:48,044
Because I was fucking her.

506
00:34:50,381 --> 00:34:51,422
Stupid, huh?

507
00:34:53,384 --> 00:34:56,469
She went over to Northside...

508
00:34:57,096 --> 00:34:59,722
...and she shoveled through the records...

509
00:35:00,933 --> 00:35:03,226
...and there wasn't anything there.

510
00:35:05,896 --> 00:35:08,398
At least that's what she told me.

00:35:23,497 --> 00:35:27,709

to pull that off. What do you say?

Why don't we just see
what the future holds?

518
00:35:35,384 --> 00:35:37,885

519

- A judgeship.

About a month ago...

551

...the mother brought him
into the hospital emergency room.

552

The boy was unconscious
from severe head injuries.

553
00:37:44,555 --> 00:37:46,431
She said he fell.

554
00:37:46,598 --> 00:37:52,437
The doctor says the head wounds were
too symmetrical to be the result of a fall.

555
00:37:52,604 --> 00:37:53,855
He told me...

556
00:37:54,022 --> 00:37:57,942
...he was treating a child whose mother
had crushed his head in a vise.

We got the vise?

Just the testimony of the child.

559

When he sees the mother,
he'll likely recant.

...that the wounds
that Wendell suffered...

...that the size and the shape
of the jaws of that vise...

...exactly match the size and the shape
of the wounds to the little boy's head.

is clear and uncontested.

00:59:50,004 --> 00:59:52,922
Chances of this being a coincidence
are one in 10.

844
00:59:53,090 --> 00:59:57,051
Therefore, I believe you will be charged
and that indeed you will go to trial.

845
00:59:57,219 --> 00:59:59,804
MOLTO: Do you have anything
you wanna tell this grand jury...

846
00:59:59,972 --> 01:00:02,015
...concerning the death
of Carolyn Polhemus?

847
01:00:02,183 --> 01:00:04,934
On the advice of counsel,
I decline to answer.

848
01:00:05,102 --> 01:00:09,022
Wouldn't it be fair to say that you were
well acquainted with Ms. Polhemus?

849
01:00:09,774 --> 01:00:12,025
On the advice of counsel,
I decline to answer.

850
01:00:12,193 --> 01:00:15,195
MOLTO: Weren't you, in fact,
intimate with the lady?

851
01:00:16,489 --> 01:00:19,949
On the advice of counsel,
I decline to answer.

852
01:00:20,117 --> 01:00:23,495
Ro�at Sabich, you are under arrest.
"You have the right to remain silent.

853
01:00:23,662 --> 01:00:26,372
- Anything you say can be used against you. "
- Honey.

854
01:00:26,540 --> 01:00:29,918
"You have the right to a lawyer
and have him present while questioned. "

855
01:00:30,085 --> 01:00:32,086
- Barbara.
JIM: "If you cannot afford a lawyer...

856
01:00:32,254 --> 01:00:36,716
...one will be appointed and will represent
you before any questioning if you wish one.

857
01:00:36,884 --> 01:00:39,594
You may stop answering questions
at any time. "

858
01:00:39,762 --> 01:00:42,305
Do you understand these rights
I have explained to you?

859
01:00:42,473 --> 01:00:44,349
Call Sandy Stern. Tell him to make bail.

860
01:00:59,114 --> 01:01:01,324
Sandy should be available
in a couple hours.

861
01:01:01,492 --> 01:01:03,409
Let's see what they got.

862
01:01:04,036 --> 01:01:06,329
Can't believe there could be
any more surprises.

863
01:01:06,497 --> 01:01:10,250
That's when they come.
That's why they're called surprises.

864
01:01:12,336 --> 01:01:15,880
So do we now understand
Della Guardia's case?

865
01:01:17,591 --> 01:01:20,051
Yes, I think I do.

866
01:01:20,219 --> 01:01:22,387
Let me hear it.

867
01:01:25,599 --> 01:01:28,518
Sabich is obsessed with Polhemus.

868
01:01:28,686 --> 01:01:31,271
She ditches him for another man.

869
01:01:31,438 --> 01:01:33,314
Sabich becomes enraged.

870
01:01:33,482 --> 01:01:35,358
He can't let go.

871
01:01:35,526 --> 01:01:40,947
One night, knowing his wife will be going out
he calls her up, begs her to see him again.

872
01:01:41,115 --> 01:01:43,783
Carolyn finally agrees.

873
01:01:44,368 --> 01:01:47,370
She rolls around with him
for auld lang syne.

874
01:01:47,538 --> 01:01:48,955
Then something goes wrong.

875
01:01:49,123 --> 01:01:52,959
Sabich is jealous. He wants more
than she's willing to give.

876
01:01:53,127 --> 01:01:54,419
He blows it.

877
01:01:54,587 --> 01:01:57,297
Gives her what for
with some heavy instrument.

878
01:01:57,464 --> 01:01:59,924
Decides to make it look like rape.

879
01:02:00,092 --> 01:02:04,470
Sabich is a prosecutor, this way
he knows there'll be dozens of suspects.

880
01:02:04,805 --> 01:02:06,055
So he ties her up.

881
01:02:06,223 --> 01:02:10,268
Opens the latches
to make it look like someone slipped in.

882
01:02:10,853 --> 01:02:13,771
And this is the diabolical part...

883
01:02:13,939 --> 01:02:16,190
...pulls out her diaphragm
so it looks like rape.

884
01:02:17,067 --> 01:02:20,695
But in his haste and confusion,
he makes mistakes.

885
01:02:20,863 --> 01:02:23,197
He forgets the glass he drank from.

886
01:02:23,365 --> 01:02:28,036
He doesn't think the forensic chemist
will be able to ID the spermicide.

887
01:02:28,203 --> 01:02:30,830
But we know he did evil to this woman...

888
01:02:30,998 --> 01:02:35,793
...because he lied about his presence
in her apartment on the night she was killed.

889
01:02:35,961 --> 01:02:38,004
His fingerprints on the glass...

890
01:02:38,172 --> 01:02:41,215
...his blood type A
identified from semen...

891
01:02:41,383 --> 01:02:45,845
...fibers from the carpets in his home
tell us he was there.

892
01:02:47,306 --> 01:02:49,807
Very convincing.

893
01:02:51,018 --> 01:02:53,353
But their evidence of motive is weak.

894
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,939
There's where we must attack.

895
01:02:56,106 --> 01:03:00,193
Is there proof of prior amorous relationship
between the defendant and the decedent?

896
01:03:00,361 --> 01:03:01,694
Just a few telephone calls.

897
01:03:01,862 --> 01:03:03,696
That can be accounted for by business.

898
01:03:03,864 --> 01:03:05,740
- Any diary?
- No.

899
01:03:05,908 --> 01:03:08,826
No note that came with flowers?
No lovers' correspondence?

900
01:03:08,994 --> 01:03:10,244
RUSTY: No.
SANDY: Good.

901
01:03:10,412 --> 01:03:11,871
Gossip will not be admitted.

902
01:03:12,039 --> 01:03:14,666
RUSTY: But there are calls from my home
to Carolyn's apartment...

903
01:03:14,833 --> 01:03:16,292
...all through October of last year.

904
01:03:16,460 --> 01:03:19,212
You were trying the case
of Wendell during that period.

905
01:03:19,380 --> 01:03:20,713
Reason enough for calling.

906
01:03:20,881 --> 01:03:24,926
Why did I tell Lipranzer
not to get my home telephone records?

907
01:03:25,094 --> 01:03:28,262
I take it for granted that
a person of an innocent state of mind...

908
01:03:28,430 --> 01:03:33,768
...would rule himself out as a suspect
and save a busy detective from wasting time.

909
01:03:34,561 --> 01:03:38,398
Clearly, they hope to win the case
on the strength of their physical evidence.

910
01:03:38,565 --> 01:03:41,693
I would like to look at that glass.
It could help me figure things out.

911
01:03:41,860 --> 01:03:44,278
SANDY: List a motion for production
of physical evidence.

912
01:03:44,446 --> 01:03:46,739
I want an inventory
of everything in that apartment.

913
01:03:46,907 --> 01:03:51,744
Where's the contraceptive jelly or whatever
this chemist is saying he finds present?

914
01:03:51,912 --> 01:03:55,123
- Wouldn't it be in her medicine cabinet?
- I don't know.

915
01:03:57,960 --> 01:03:59,794
I'm gonna hear worse in court.

916
01:04:00,629 --> 01:04:02,839
I never asked her what she was doing.

917
01:04:03,007 --> 01:04:04,090
SANDY:
One word of caution.

918
01:04:05,050 --> 01:04:10,596
We do not want to lead Della Guardia
to evidence he has not thought to obtain.

919
01:04:10,764 --> 01:04:15,268
Best we conduct the search ourselves
without disclosing our intentions.

920
01:04:15,436 --> 01:04:20,481
Also, your mention of Carolyn's
personal habits leads to this thought.

921
01:04:20,649 --> 01:04:23,609
We should subpoena her doctors.

922
01:04:23,777 --> 01:04:25,778
Who knows what we might discover.

923
01:04:25,946 --> 01:04:29,449
There is one big surprise, however.

924
01:04:30,117 --> 01:04:32,493
Raymond Horgan's on their witness list.

925
01:04:32,995 --> 01:04:35,121
Why?

926
01:04:35,372 --> 01:04:38,166
RAYMOND: This is a hell of a way
to impress my new partners.

927
01:04:38,333 --> 01:04:40,626
I'm here three days,
I get a grand jury subpoena.

928
01:04:42,296 --> 01:04:47,050
SANDY: I was wondering what we might
expect, in terms of your testimony.

929
01:04:47,885 --> 01:04:52,096
I'm gonna testify about Rusty's conduct
of the Polhemus investigation.

930
01:04:52,264 --> 01:04:55,558
- How he volunteered to handle it.
- Just a second.

931
01:04:56,477 --> 01:04:58,311
Raymond, you insisted I take it on.

932
01:04:58,479 --> 01:04:59,896
I don't remember it that way.

933
01:05:00,064 --> 01:05:04,859
- Raymond, what are you trying to do to me?
- What am I trying to do to you?

934
01:05:05,027 --> 01:05:07,320
What are you trying to do to me?

935
01:05:10,991 --> 01:05:12,617
I thought I had your loyalty.

936
01:05:16,497 --> 01:05:19,165
- Why didn't you tell me about Carolyn?
- Raymond...

937
01:05:19,333 --> 01:05:24,670
Under the circumstances,
I have to advise Rusty not to respond.

938
01:05:24,838 --> 01:05:26,672
Clearly, he would like to.

939
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:29,008
Well, let me ask you something,
counselor.

940
01:05:29,176 --> 01:05:32,095
What the hell were his fingerprints
doing all over that glass?

941
01:05:33,972 --> 01:05:36,307
So that's what I'm gonna testify.

942
01:05:36,475 --> 01:05:38,643
That he wanted the case.

943
01:05:38,811 --> 01:05:42,855
I had to chew his ass repeatedly
to get him to move on it.

944
01:05:43,023 --> 01:05:45,525
He seemed a lot more interested in if,
when and how...

945
01:05:45,692 --> 01:05:48,903
...I was fucking Carolyn Polhemus
than in his own investigation.

946
01:05:49,071 --> 01:05:51,948
And when push came to shove,
he stood there in my office...

947
01:05:52,116 --> 01:05:53,533
...gave us some horseshit...

948
01:05:53,700 --> 01:05:57,328
...he'd been nowhere near her apartment
the night she was killed.

949
01:05:59,540 --> 01:06:02,125
That's what I'm gonna testify.

950
01:06:02,292 --> 01:06:04,210
And I'll be goddamned pleased to do it.

951
01:06:04,378 --> 01:06:09,006
How can you...? How can you think
that I could do a thing like that?

952
01:06:12,511 --> 01:06:15,680
You always had the cork in too tight.

953
01:06:16,223 --> 01:06:18,266
We all saw that.

954
01:06:20,060 --> 01:06:22,728
When you blew, you blew.

955
01:06:23,939 --> 01:06:26,107
Come on, Rusty.

956
01:06:33,323 --> 01:06:37,285
When did this relationship take place
between Raymond and Carolyn?

957
01:06:37,452 --> 01:06:40,496
Just after she stopped seeing me.

958
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,000
SANDY:
Delay's got his motive.

959
01:06:44,877 --> 01:06:47,128
Sandy, what would you say if I tell you...

960
01:06:47,296 --> 01:06:51,340
...that Raymond secretly assigned
a bribery case to Carolyn?

961
01:06:51,508 --> 01:06:54,802
Some poor son of a bitch
up on a public-indecency charge...

962
01:06:54,970 --> 01:06:57,638
...paid off a PA
to have his case dismissed.

963
01:06:57,806 --> 01:07:01,767
Turns out,
the guy's probation officer is Carolyn...

964
01:07:01,935 --> 01:07:06,105
...and the deputy assigned to the case
is Tommy Molto.

965
01:07:06,273 --> 01:07:11,277
Day after I find this out,
I'm charged with Carolyn's murder.

966
01:07:12,696 --> 01:07:15,531
Before we venture down the road
into actual accusation...

967
01:07:15,699 --> 01:07:19,118
...we must consider the matter
very carefully.

968
01:07:21,246 --> 01:07:24,373
It can't be a coincidence
it lays out this way, Sandy.

969
01:07:24,541 --> 01:07:26,292
I mean...

970
01:07:30,339 --> 01:07:32,840
I mean, I'm innocent.

971
01:07:39,556 --> 01:07:42,475
God, I made a fool of myself today
with Sandy.

972
01:07:42,643 --> 01:07:43,851
BARBARA:
How?

973
01:07:44,019 --> 01:07:46,520
I told him I was innocent.

974
01:07:47,314 --> 01:07:49,523
I thought he would've asked you that
by now.

975
01:07:49,691 --> 01:07:51,734
No, it's axiomatic.

976
01:07:51,902 --> 01:07:55,029
Defendants rarely tell the truth.

977
01:07:55,197 --> 01:08:00,326
Lie to the cops, lie to your lawyer,
lie to the jury that tries your case.

978
01:08:01,119 --> 01:08:04,497
Leave the bastards out there
with a grain of doubt.

979
01:08:09,836 --> 01:08:11,879
You never asked.

980
01:08:13,340 --> 01:08:16,217
- What, if you're innocent?
- Yeah.

981
01:08:20,013 --> 01:08:22,348
Do you want me to?

982
01:08:38,282 --> 01:08:39,782
Please draw a name.

983
01:08:48,375 --> 01:08:50,876
"Judge Larren Lyttle. "

984
01:08:51,044 --> 01:08:53,462
Now, I have some motions
from the defense.

985
01:08:53,630 --> 01:08:56,507
Mr. Stern, you want to examine
the scene of the crime, right?

986
01:08:56,675 --> 01:08:59,260
Yes, Your Honor.
As part of evaluating the evidence...

987
01:08:59,428 --> 01:09:02,555
...to see if it proves
what the prosecution claims it proves.

988
01:09:03,307 --> 01:09:04,682
Mr. Della Guardia?

989
01:09:04,850 --> 01:09:07,768
With proviso nothing to be removed,
nothing disturbed.

990
01:09:07,936 --> 01:09:10,396
- No objection.
LYTTLE: Granted.

991
01:09:10,564 --> 01:09:12,648
Mr. Stern, anything further?

992
01:09:12,816 --> 01:09:15,067
Your Honor, we notice
that Mr. Molto is listed...

993
01:09:15,235 --> 01:09:18,571
...both as a prosecutor and as
a potential witness for the prosecution.

994
01:09:18,739 --> 01:09:19,864
We object to that.

995
01:09:20,032 --> 01:09:22,283
I take it you are speaking
of where Mr. Sabich...

996
01:09:22,451 --> 01:09:28,331
...responds to Mr. Molto's accusation
of murder by saying, "You're right. "

997
01:09:28,498 --> 01:09:30,499
"Yeah, you're right. "

998
01:09:30,667 --> 01:09:33,002
Your Honor, the man admitted the crime.

999
01:09:33,170 --> 01:09:36,714
Oh, come on, Mr. Della Guardia. Really.

1000
01:09:36,882 --> 01:09:41,093
You tell a man he's engaged in wrongdoing,
and he says, "Yeah, you're right. "

1001
01:09:41,261 --> 01:09:43,804
Everybody knows that's facetious.
We're all familiar.

1002
01:09:44,598 --> 01:09:47,975
Shit, in my neighborhood,
had Mr. Sabich come from those parts...

1003
01:09:48,143 --> 01:09:49,977
...he would've said, "Your mama. "

1004
01:09:51,438 --> 01:09:55,691
But in Mr. Sabich's part of town
I would think they would say:

1005
01:09:55,859 --> 01:09:57,485
"Yeah, you're right. "

1006
01:09:57,652 --> 01:10:00,738
And what they mean is, "You are wrong. "

1007
01:10:00,906 --> 01:10:02,448
Just to be polite.

1008
01:10:04,785 --> 01:10:07,787
Your Honor,
isn't that a question for the jury?

1009
01:10:08,288 --> 01:10:13,042
No, on the contrary, Mr. Della Guardia,
it is first a question for the court.

1010
01:10:13,210 --> 01:10:15,628
Now, if you wish to use
Mr. Sabich's statement...

1011
01:10:15,796 --> 01:10:20,591
...and risk my ruling it out of order,
then I will bar Mr. Molto from prosecuting.

1012
01:10:20,759 --> 01:10:23,427
But if he is the prosecutor...

1013
01:10:23,595 --> 01:10:27,515
...then Mr. Sabich's statement
may not be offered.

1014
01:10:27,682 --> 01:10:31,143
And I'll see you in court in three weeks.

1015
01:10:31,645 --> 01:10:34,313
Ernestine, show in the next bunch.

1016
01:10:42,614 --> 01:10:44,990
What the fuck
are you gonna do with those?

1017
01:10:45,158 --> 01:10:48,369
We don't want Tommy Molto
thinking fingerprints we leave here today...

1018
01:10:48,537 --> 01:10:51,080
...are from before, do we?

1019
01:10:51,581 --> 01:10:55,376
We're not gonna plant anything,
if that's what you're worried about.

1020
01:10:57,754 --> 01:11:00,047
The law's the law.

1021
01:11:00,882 --> 01:11:03,467
Yeah, I know, Glendenning.

1022
01:11:09,266 --> 01:11:11,892
Diaphragm.

1023
01:11:12,060 --> 01:11:13,853
I don't know, the bathroom.

1024
01:11:14,020 --> 01:11:17,356
- Where?
- There.

1025
01:12:02,694 --> 01:12:03,777
JAMIE:
Nothing.

1026
01:12:03,945 --> 01:12:07,198
Fucking cops always forget something.

1027
01:12:07,365 --> 01:12:08,616
What is it?

1028
01:12:08,783 --> 01:12:10,659
Her phone book.

1029
01:12:10,827 --> 01:12:14,121
Check with her doctors
on the contraceptive stuff.

1030
01:12:14,289 --> 01:12:16,832
I don't remember Carolyn
ever worrying about that.

1031
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:18,751
She's got them under D.

1032
01:12:18,919 --> 01:12:21,754
Jesus, she's got a lot of doctors.

1033
01:12:21,922 --> 01:12:24,465
If the chemist says
spermicidal cream was present...

1034
01:12:24,633 --> 01:12:28,093
...and it's not seized from the apartment,
then you tell me where it's at.

1035
01:12:28,261 --> 01:12:29,303
I don't know.

1036
01:12:29,471 --> 01:12:32,431
Maybe I took it
when I took the diaphragm.

1037
01:12:32,724 --> 01:12:34,934
JAMIE:
That doesn't make sense.

1038
01:12:36,186 --> 01:12:40,564
Well, you gotta remember,
I wasn't thinking very clearly.

1039
01:12:41,316 --> 01:12:45,402
If I had been, I wouldn't have left
my fingerprints on the glass.

1040
01:12:46,780 --> 01:12:48,572
REPORTER 1:
You were a former deputy prosecutor.

1041
01:12:48,740 --> 01:12:50,866
- How does it feel to be on the other side?
REPORTER 2: Mr. Sabich.

1042
01:12:51,034 --> 01:12:52,618
REPORTER 3:
How about that Fifth Amendment?

1043
01:12:52,786 --> 01:12:54,203
REPORTER 4:
How come you took the Fifth?

1044
01:12:54,371 --> 01:12:56,580
REPORTER 1: Are you feeling
that you might be a scapegoat?

1045
01:12:56,748 --> 01:13:00,334
Sorry, but we're not about to try this case
on the courthouse steps.

1046
01:13:00,502 --> 01:13:03,087
REPORTER 5: Do you think this is political?
REPORTER 1: How do you feel?

1047
01:13:03,255 --> 01:13:04,797
WOMAN:
All rise.

1048
01:13:06,383 --> 01:13:10,386
Oyez, oyez. The superior court for the
county of Kindle is now in session.

1049
01:13:10,554 --> 01:13:14,848
The Honorable Larren L. Lyttle,
judge, presiding.

1050
01:13:15,016 --> 01:13:18,352
Draw near and give your attention
and you shall be heard.

1051
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:21,522

NICO:
May it please the court.

1054
01:13:27,988 --> 01:13:31,490
The state's evidence will show
that on or about April 1 st of this year...

1055
01:13:31,658 --> 01:13:35,661
...Carolyn Polhemus,
a deputy prosecutor in Kindle County...

1056
01:13:35,829 --> 01:13:38,455
...was brutally murdered.

1057
01:13:38,623 --> 01:13:43,043
The proof will show that this murder
was perpetrated by her colleague...

1058
01:13:43,211 --> 01:13:45,629
...Ro�at K. Sabich.

1059
01:13:46,298 --> 01:13:50,175
How are we to answer this,
Rusty Sabich and I?

1060
01:13:50,343 --> 01:13:53,095
Mr. Della Guardia's case
does not involve facts...

1061
01:13:53,263 --> 01:13:59,018
...but supposition upon supposition,
guess upon guess.

1062
01:13:59,185 --> 01:14:04,690
When you listen to the evidence,
ask yourselves why Rusty Sabich...

1063
01:14:04,858 --> 01:14:10,821
...the finest prosecutor of this county,
a man who has devoted his life...

1064
01:14:10,989 --> 01:14:13,949
...to preventing and punishing
criminal behavior...

1065
01:14:14,117 --> 01:14:16,994
...not to committing it...

1066
01:14:18,121 --> 01:14:20,414
...sits here as the accused.

1067
01:14:21,875 --> 01:14:23,000
Why?

1068
01:14:23,168 --> 01:14:25,085
State calls Detective Harold Greer.

1069
01:14:25,253 --> 01:14:27,254
Your Honor, may we have
a word at the bench?

1070
01:14:29,007 --> 01:14:33,510
Your Honor, this witness will testify
about a bar glass. They have no bar glass.

1071
01:14:33,678 --> 01:14:35,346
LYTTLE:
What about this, Mr. Della Guardia?

1072
01:14:35,513 --> 01:14:38,974
Your Honor, I learned the first time
last night, from Tommy, the bar glass...

1073
01:14:39,142 --> 01:14:41,477
Hold it right there. Inside, gentlemen.

1074
01:14:41,645 --> 01:14:44,563
Your Honor, I request that Mr. Sabich
join us in chambers.

1075
01:14:44,731 --> 01:14:46,607
He is an integral part of the defense.

1076
01:14:47,275 --> 01:14:48,317
All right.

1077
01:14:49,069 --> 01:14:52,363
Molto, where is the fucking glass?

1078
01:14:52,530 --> 01:14:54,698
Evidence was where
it was supposed to be...

1079
01:14:54,866 --> 01:14:57,493
...but they haven't been able to locate it.

1080
01:14:57,661 --> 01:15:00,871
Well, we're not gonna be talking about
evidence that nobody can find.

1081
01:15:01,039 --> 01:15:03,582
Not in my courtroom.

1082
01:15:04,542 --> 01:15:06,251
No objections to the photographs.

1083
01:15:06,419 --> 01:15:09,588
Any testimony as to fingerprints,
we will object to.

I will reserve decision, gentlemen.

1085
01:15:14,177 --> 01:15:15,260
A little stroke of luck.

1086
01:15:15,428 --> 01:15:17,721

will help us with the jury.

Ladies and gentlemen,
these photographs...

1089
01:15:22,143 --> 01:15:26,313
...depict horrors you may be expected
to react to with disgust.

1090
01:15:26,940 --> 01:15:29,233
But I'm instructing you
that in themselves...

1091
01:15:29,401 --> 01:15:32,569
...they are proof of nothing
except the nature of the crime.

NICO: You assigned Mr. Sabich to supervise
the investigation in this case?

1123
01:17:31,147 --> 01:17:32,523
He volunteered.

1124
01:17:32,690 --> 01:17:34,316
And I accepted.

Not to my way of thinking, no.

the investigation.

He brought in his own detective
to replace Harold Greer.

instructions to ignore evidence...

between his house and Carolyn's.

search so as to exclude his own.

He seemed much more interested in whether
I had been intimate with Carolyn Polhemus...

...than in the facts
surrounding her murder.

That we had been together
for three months.

1140

an intimate relationship with the victim.

you believe he, as an honest official...

in a responsible position?

01:19:47,116 --> 01:19:50,285
...you removed a file, a so-called B file...

1172
01:19:50,453 --> 01:19:54,748
...from Ms. Polhemus's office after
the investigation of her murder began?

1173
01:19:54,916 --> 01:19:56,708
What's the relevance of this, counsel?

1174
01:19:56,876 --> 01:19:59,711
Your Honor, the witness has testified
on direct examination...

1175
01:19:59,879 --> 01:20:03,006
...that Mr. Sabich
did not bring to his attention...

1176
01:20:03,174 --> 01:20:05,384
...information that he regarded
as pertinent.

1177
01:20:05,551 --> 01:20:10,639
The defense is entitled to explore
Mr. Horgan's standards in this regard.

1178
01:20:10,807 --> 01:20:14,142
Well, subject to a later connection,
I'll allow it.

1179
01:20:14,310 --> 01:20:15,519
Continue, counselor.

1180
01:20:16,562 --> 01:20:19,690
And you gave that B file to Mr. Sabich...

1181
01:20:19,857 --> 01:20:23,610
...only after he informed you that it was
missing from Ms. Polhemus's office.

1182
01:20:23,778 --> 01:20:26,405
- Is that not true?
- That's true.

1183
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:30,534
You've told us that you
and Carolyn were lovers.

1184
01:20:30,702 --> 01:20:32,869
For a short time, yes.

1185
01:20:33,204 --> 01:20:35,205
B- file cases...

1186
01:20:35,373 --> 01:20:38,750
...cases involving bribery
and official misconduct...

1187
01:20:38,918 --> 01:20:42,212
...are normally assigned
to the assistant deputy.

1188
01:20:42,380 --> 01:20:44,881
At the time, Mr. Sabich. Is that not true?

1189
01:20:45,049 --> 01:20:46,967
That was the usual practice, yes, sir.

1190
01:20:47,135 --> 01:20:50,762
You gave this highly sensitive matter
in this B file...

1191
01:20:50,930 --> 01:20:53,807
...to Carolyn Polhemus
while you were sleeping with her?

1192
01:20:53,975 --> 01:20:56,435
That appears to be the time frame.

1193
01:20:58,229 --> 01:21:01,023
The answer to the question is yes.

1194
01:21:01,899 --> 01:21:06,445
And were you not concerned, sir, in the midst
of a nip-and-tuck election campaign...

1195
01:21:06,612 --> 01:21:10,365
...about word leaking out
that you had secretly given a file...

1196
01:21:10,533 --> 01:21:13,118
...that was in Mr. Sabich's area
of authority...

1197
01:21:13,286 --> 01:21:15,829
...to an assistant with no experience
in such matters...

1198
01:21:15,997 --> 01:21:18,707
...with whom you were sleeping
at the time?

1199
01:21:19,625 --> 01:21:22,085
It may have crossed my mind. Ahem.

1200
01:21:22,795 --> 01:21:25,464
Who knows, Mr. Stern.
It was not an ideal situation.

1201
01:21:27,091 --> 01:21:29,176
Far from it.

1202
01:21:30,136 --> 01:21:31,887
And, sir...

1203
01:21:32,055 --> 01:21:33,889
...you come to this courtroom...

1204
01:21:34,057 --> 01:21:35,599
...where the life of a man...

1205
01:21:35,767 --> 01:21:40,270
...who served you faithfully for a dozen years
now hangs in the balance...

1206
01:21:40,438 --> 01:21:43,065
...and you tell us
that you withheld evidence from him...

1207
01:21:43,232 --> 01:21:47,027
...that might have assisted
in his investigation?

1208
01:21:58,081 --> 01:22:00,165
All right.

1209
01:22:02,835 --> 01:22:04,669
Is it fair to say...

1210
01:22:04,837 --> 01:22:08,048
...that the chief deputy
is the person in the office...

1211
01:22:08,216 --> 01:22:12,344
...in whose judgment you place
the greatest confidence?

1212
01:22:13,179 --> 01:22:16,181
I regarded him as the best lawyer
for the job, yes.

1213
01:22:16,349 --> 01:22:19,351
And you gave Mr. Sabich the authority...

1214
01:22:19,519 --> 01:22:22,854
...to decide when and where
to fire Mr. Della Guardia.

1215
01:22:23,022 --> 01:22:27,359
Gentlemen, let's stop right there.

1216
01:22:28,861 --> 01:22:31,404
What is the relevance of who fired who?

1217
01:22:31,572 --> 01:22:37,035
Judge, it's our theory that Mr. Sabich
is being framed in this case.

1218
01:22:37,203 --> 01:22:38,203
I don't believe this.

1219
01:22:38,371 --> 01:22:40,664
- Beneath contempt.
- Your response has been noted.

1220
01:22:40,832 --> 01:22:43,083
If Mr. Stern is truly going to endeavor...

1221
01:22:43,251 --> 01:22:46,920
...to prove that the case against Mr. Sabich
has been manufactured...

1222
01:22:47,088 --> 01:22:51,174
...then I suppose this history of antagonism
is relevant for those purposes.

1223
01:22:51,342 --> 01:22:53,343
Now, what about this missing B file?

1224
01:22:53,511 --> 01:22:56,680
We believe it's being withheld
because it contains evidence...

1225
01:22:56,848 --> 01:22:58,765
...that is necessary to the defense.

1226
01:22:58,933 --> 01:23:02,018
So we intend to pursue this matter...

1227
01:23:02,186 --> 01:23:06,231
...until we have a full understanding
on how it bears on the truth.

1228
01:23:06,399 --> 01:23:10,152
I don't know where this is gonna lead us,
but I'll tell you two things:

1229
01:23:10,319 --> 01:23:13,238
You had better be prepared
for the prosecution's response...

1230
01:23:13,406 --> 01:23:17,826
...because he is going to be entitled
to a great deal of latitude in answering.

1231
01:23:17,994 --> 01:23:20,912
Because I am going to give him that.

1232
01:23:25,251 --> 01:23:29,796
Do you recall that we spoke about a B file
that you assigned to Ms. Polhemus?

1233
01:23:29,964 --> 01:23:32,174
I believe I'll remember it
for quite some time.

1234
01:23:32,341 --> 01:23:34,509
Did Mr. Molto tell you
that he was involved...?

1235
01:23:34,677 --> 01:23:36,928
- Objection.
- Objection sustained.

1236
01:23:37,096 --> 01:23:40,599
Mr. Stern, you're playing with fire.

1237
01:23:41,434 --> 01:23:44,853
SANDY: Do you know what investigation,
if any, Mr. Molto pursued...

1238
01:23:45,021 --> 01:23:47,022
I'll answer that. He took no action.

1239
01:23:47,190 --> 01:23:49,441
He wasn't gonna chase
Rusty Sabich's red herrings.

1240
01:23:49,609 --> 01:23:53,111
LYTTLE: Mr. Della Guardia, you will
remember that you are the prosecutor...

1241
01:23:53,279 --> 01:23:54,779
...not the witness.

1242
01:23:54,947 --> 01:23:56,114
[PEOPLE LAUGH]

1243
01:24:00,745 --> 01:24:05,874
Perhaps we can all learn something
about red herrings and scapegoats.

1244
01:24:06,042 --> 01:24:07,542
That is all.

1245
01:24:07,710 --> 01:24:09,836
LYTTLE:
This court is adjourned for the weekend.

1246
01:24:11,964 --> 01:24:14,633
I don't understand
what you're doing, Sandy.

1247
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:16,801
You're alienating the judge.

1248
01:24:16,969 --> 01:24:19,596
I suggested Nico and Molto
were manufacturing the case...

1249
01:24:19,764 --> 01:24:21,473
...you wanted nothing to do with it.

1250
01:24:21,641 --> 01:24:23,600
Clearly, I changed my mind.

1251
01:24:23,768 --> 01:24:25,685
On the basis of what?

1252
01:24:25,853 --> 01:24:27,479
Instinct.

1253
01:24:31,275 --> 01:24:33,485
RUSTY: If you don't like it,
you can always come home.

1254
01:24:33,653 --> 01:24:35,278
I wanna go.

1255
01:24:35,446 --> 01:24:37,864
All my friends will be there.

1256
01:24:38,032 --> 01:24:40,367
RUSTY:
I'll be okay, you know.

1257
01:24:43,788 --> 01:24:46,498
Come here. Sit down.

1258
01:24:47,583 --> 01:24:50,460
Look, I've been accused
of doing something that I didn't do.

1259
01:24:51,003 --> 01:24:55,131
And this trial is gonna give me
a chance to clear myself.

1260
01:24:55,299 --> 01:24:57,425
- That's what's gonna happen.
- Of course.

1261
01:24:57,593 --> 01:24:59,261
Of course.

1262
01:25:00,137 --> 01:25:01,972
Here are the postcards, okay? Use them.

1263
01:25:02,139 --> 01:25:04,933
- Don't forget, now. You write.
NAT: They make me.

1264
01:25:05,101 --> 01:25:06,268
Hey, what about me?

1265
01:25:06,435 --> 01:25:08,019
MAN:
Parsons.

1266
01:25:08,187 --> 01:25:10,146
Rosa.

1267
01:25:10,523 --> 01:25:12,190
Calabrese.

1268
01:25:12,358 --> 01:25:14,192
The Robinson brothers.

1269
01:25:15,278 --> 01:25:16,653
Strauss.

1270
01:25:17,571 --> 01:25:19,114
MOLTO:
Did Mr. Sabich ever tell you...

1271
01:25:19,282 --> 01:25:22,742
...that he had a personal relationship
with Carolyn Polhemus?

1272
01:25:22,910 --> 01:25:24,244
No.

1273
01:25:24,412 --> 01:25:25,954
Did Mr. Sabich, at any time...

1274
01:25:26,122 --> 01:25:29,874
...order you not to get the telephone
company records of calls from his home?

1275
01:25:30,042 --> 01:25:32,669
He never ordered me, no, sir.
He asked me.

1276
01:25:32,837 --> 01:25:35,422
He asked you not to get those records?

1277
01:25:35,589 --> 01:25:36,798
And did you oblige him?

1278
01:25:36,966 --> 01:25:39,884
Well, I was taken off the case
before I got to those records.

1279
01:25:40,052 --> 01:25:42,721
- You did or did not get those records?
- No, sir, I did not.

1280
01:25:42,888 --> 01:25:46,099
We had a lot of higher-priority items
on our mind.

1281
01:25:47,727 --> 01:25:50,812
One of the high-priority items
was getting fingerprint analysis...

1282
01:25:50,980 --> 01:25:53,898
...of fingerprints found
in Carolyn Polhemus's apartment.

1283
01:25:54,066 --> 01:25:55,984
Who was communicating with the lab?

1284
01:25:56,152 --> 01:25:57,235
Mr. Sabich.

1285
01:25:57,403 --> 01:25:59,279
Did you ask him to expedite the reports?

1286
01:25:59,447 --> 01:26:00,488
Yes, sir, I did.

1287
01:26:00,656 --> 01:26:03,408
And what did he say, if anything?

1288
01:26:03,576 --> 01:26:04,617
He said he forgot.

1289
01:26:04,785 --> 01:26:06,911
He forgot?

1290
01:26:09,540 --> 01:26:11,750
Rusty forgot.

1291
01:26:12,209 --> 01:26:15,086
Would it be fair to say the two of you,
by working together...

1292
01:26:15,254 --> 01:26:18,256
...have formed a personal friendship?

1293
01:26:18,424 --> 01:26:20,175
I suppose so, yes.

1294
01:26:20,343 --> 01:26:25,805
- Were you assigned to the case initially?
- No, Harold Greer initially handled the case.

1295
01:26:25,973 --> 01:26:28,224
Has Mr. Sabich ever expressed to you...

1296
01:26:28,392 --> 01:26:31,519
...any reservations
about Harold Greer's abilities?

1297
01:26:31,687 --> 01:26:35,398
Everybody that I know thinks
of Harold Greer as a top-grade cop.

1298
01:26:35,566 --> 01:26:39,569
Do you know who decided to replace
Harold Greer and bring you on this case?

1299
01:26:39,737 --> 01:26:40,904
Mr. Sabich.

1300
01:26:43,532 --> 01:26:44,824
Do you feel...

1301
01:26:44,992 --> 01:26:46,284
Withdrawn.

1302
01:26:46,452 --> 01:26:50,330
To your knowledge, does the defendant
have a closer personal relationship...

1303
01:26:50,498 --> 01:26:54,459
...with anyone on the police force
than he does with you, Detective Lipranzer?

1304
01:26:54,627 --> 01:26:56,711
Not that he's mentioned, no.

1305
01:26:56,879 --> 01:26:58,963
So it's fair to say, detective, is it not...

1306
01:26:59,131 --> 01:27:03,802
...that you are the person on the police force
least likely to suspect Mr. Sabich of murder.

1307
01:27:04,637 --> 01:27:07,389
I would never believe that. Never.

1308
01:27:07,932 --> 01:27:10,850
MOLTO: Thank you for your cooperation
in answering what must've been...

1309
01:27:11,018 --> 01:27:13,353
...painful and difficult questions
for you...

1310
01:27:13,521 --> 01:27:16,147
...considering your relationship
to the defendant.

1311
01:27:16,315 --> 01:27:18,191
Nothing further.

1312
01:27:21,278 --> 01:27:23,696
SANDY: You made reference to a theory
you were developing...

1313
01:27:23,864 --> 01:27:27,242
...that Carolyn Polhemus might have been
the victim of a revenge killer.

1314
01:27:27,410 --> 01:27:29,160
Someone she had once sent to jail?

1315
01:27:29,328 --> 01:27:32,956
Yes, sir. We thought of that
as our most likely case.

1316
01:27:33,332 --> 01:27:35,917
And to identify possible suspects...

1317
01:27:36,085 --> 01:27:38,670
...you reviewed the files of cases
she had prosecuted...

1318
01:27:38,838 --> 01:27:42,799
...and was currently prosecuting,
going back several years? Is that correct?

1319
01:27:42,967 --> 01:27:44,092
Yes, sir.

1320
01:27:44,260 --> 01:27:46,428
Were you able to find all those files?

1321
01:27:46,595 --> 01:27:48,763
No, sir. A file was missing.

1322
01:27:48,931 --> 01:27:51,349
SANDY:
This is the so-called B file...

1323
01:27:51,517 --> 01:27:54,018
...that was withheld
from you and Mr. Sabich...

1324
01:27:54,186 --> 01:27:57,188
...until Mr. Sabich requested it personally
from Mr. Horgan?

1325
01:27:57,356 --> 01:27:59,065
- Is that correct?
LIPRANZER: Yes, sir.

1326
01:27:59,233 --> 01:28:00,775
SANDY:
It involved allegations...

1327
01:28:00,943 --> 01:28:02,026
LYTTLE:
Oh, let's move on.

1328
01:28:03,404 --> 01:28:07,157
Counsel have been warned
about this riding off in all kind of directions.

1329
01:28:07,366 --> 01:28:09,284
SANDY:
No further questions, detective.

1330
01:28:09,452 --> 01:28:11,744
No redirect, Your Honor.

1331
01:28:12,121 --> 01:28:15,039
Okay, we need subpoenas
for Carolyn's doctors...

1332
01:28:15,207 --> 01:28:19,085
...a subpoena for phone company records,
to check for errors.

1333
01:28:19,253 --> 01:28:21,171
I don't think
we need to bother with that.

1334
01:28:22,715 --> 01:28:25,425
What? You said there was
something wrong with the records.

1335

I didn't do it.

And that you will do very well.

1354

But with every word, you will confirm
what the prosecution is saying.

That you were overwhelmed
with a sexual obsession...

...that took a wrong turn into rage
when she ended the affair.

1357

01:49:23,307 --> 01:49:27,310
Ah. You question the judge's integrity?

1668
01:49:27,478 --> 01:49:29,938
With just cause, wouldn't you say?

1669
01:49:30,189 --> 01:49:34,151
You knew that file didn't have
a damn thing to do with my case.

1670
01:49:34,318 --> 01:49:38,071
And yet, you let Larren know
you'd drag it in at any opportunity.

1671
01:49:38,239 --> 01:49:40,657
That it would come out
he was taking bribes.

1672
01:49:40,825 --> 01:49:43,326
That Carolyn was the courier.

1673
01:49:45,705 --> 01:49:47,330
You blackmailed him, Sandy.

1674
01:49:52,628 --> 01:49:54,629
We speak now, tonight...

1675
01:49:56,090 --> 01:49:59,593
...and these things
are never spoken of again.

1676
01:50:00,344 --> 01:50:01,845
Agreed?

1677
01:50:05,433 --> 01:50:09,227
Larren's divorce left him
in a state of disorder.

1678
01:50:09,395 --> 01:50:11,021
He was drinking much too heavily...

1679
01:50:11,189 --> 01:50:16,276
...and he fell into a relationship
with a beautiful, but self-serving woman.

1680
01:50:18,029 --> 01:50:23,200
The fact is, Larren himself
grew suicidally depressed.

1681
01:50:23,367 --> 01:50:25,869
He wanted to resign from the bench.

1682
01:50:26,037 --> 01:50:28,371
Raymond Horgan talked him out of it.

1683
01:50:28,831 --> 01:50:30,457
Raymond knew he was taking bribes?

1684
01:50:31,834 --> 01:50:33,877
Larren told him.

1685
01:50:35,421 --> 01:50:39,716
Raymond cleaned up the north side,
as you recall...

1686
01:50:39,884 --> 01:50:42,469
...and he also rescued
a distinguished mind...

1687
01:50:42,637 --> 01:50:46,556
...and a career
that does honor to the bench.

1688
01:50:50,728 --> 01:50:55,106
I believe Larren, today,
did what he thought was just.

1689
01:50:56,651 --> 01:50:58,944
You tell me, Rusty.

1690
01:51:00,071 --> 01:51:02,280
Was justice done?

1691
01:51:11,415 --> 01:51:12,582
LIPRANZER:
How you doing?

1692
01:51:21,843 --> 01:51:23,927
Christmas present.

1693
01:51:37,608 --> 01:51:39,442
Jesus.

1694
01:51:41,737 --> 01:51:45,031
You're hanging your ass out
a good long way on this one, Lip.

1695
01:51:45,449 --> 01:51:48,076
It was them that fucked up.

1696
01:51:48,244 --> 01:51:51,621
Remember, they came around,
they grabbed all the evidence.

1697
01:51:51,789 --> 01:51:55,000
The glass wasn't there.
I took it down to Dickerman.

1698
01:51:55,543 --> 01:51:58,086
The very next day,
I get a call from the lab.

1699
01:51:58,254 --> 01:52:01,548
The test is done. I can pick up my glass.

1700
01:52:02,216 --> 01:52:03,800
But when I went down there...

1701
01:52:03,968 --> 01:52:07,220
...Molto had signed the receipt:
"Returned to Evidence. "

1702
01:52:07,388 --> 01:52:10,682
You know, I guess the idea was
that I'll put it back in.

1703
01:52:10,850 --> 01:52:13,476
Only I got nowhere to put it anywhere...

1704
01:52:13,644 --> 01:52:17,439
...since it ain't
my goddamn case anymore.

1705
01:52:18,316 --> 01:52:21,192
So I tossed the thing in my drawer.

1706
01:52:21,360 --> 01:52:24,905
I figured, sooner or later,
somebody has gotta ask me.

1707
01:52:25,740 --> 01:52:26,781
Nobody did.

1708
01:52:28,075 --> 01:52:29,492
You think I killed her.

1709
01:52:32,830 --> 01:52:34,998
The lady was bad news.

1710
01:52:39,170 --> 01:52:41,171
So that makes it okay I killed her?

1711
01:52:41,339 --> 01:52:42,964
Did you?

1712
01:52:45,176 --> 01:52:47,093
Oh, pal.

1713
01:53:09,867 --> 01:53:11,368
RUSTY:
Nat.

1714
01:53:11,827 --> 01:53:13,203
Where's Mom?

1715
01:53:13,371 --> 01:53:15,789
Upstairs in the bathroom
throwing up, last I saw her.

1716
01:53:15,957 --> 01:53:18,208
She's got her interview today
for the university.

1717
01:53:18,376 --> 01:53:19,626
NAT:
What's the big deal?

1718
01:53:19,794 --> 01:53:21,503
No eggs for me, thank you very much.

1719
01:53:21,671 --> 01:53:23,630
RUSTY: That looks nice.
- You think?

1720
01:53:23,798 --> 01:53:25,507
- Yeah.
NAT: Mom, that dumb old college...

1721
01:53:25,675 --> 01:53:27,717
...would be lucky to have you
teaching there.

1722
01:53:27,885 --> 01:53:29,219
You tell her, kid.

1723
01:53:30,388 --> 01:53:33,306
RUSTY: I'm gonna do some work around
the house while I still have time.

1724
01:53:33,474 --> 01:53:35,266
BARBARA:
To think I've lived to see the day.

1725
01:53:35,434 --> 01:53:37,769
RUSTY: Give me a hand with the fence
when you get home.

1726
01:53:37,937 --> 01:53:39,813
I can't. I got a game after school.

1727
01:53:39,981 --> 01:53:41,231
Good luck, Mom.

1728
01:53:50,366 --> 01:53:51,533
Go get them, kid.

1729
01:55:55,366 --> 01:55:57,033
BARBARA:
I did it.

1730
01:56:03,374 --> 01:56:05,917
I fooled them all.

1731
01:56:08,212 --> 01:56:09,504
The interview.

1732
01:56:10,923 --> 01:56:13,508
They think I'm qualified.

1733
01:57:19,575 --> 01:57:22,535
You understand what happened
had to happen.

1734
01:57:24,288 --> 01:57:26,789
Couldn't have turned out
any other way.

1735
01:57:29,752 --> 01:57:32,128
A woman's depressed...

1736
01:57:33,714 --> 01:57:35,465
...with herself...

1737
01:57:36,342 --> 01:57:38,218
...with life...

1738
01:57:39,470 --> 01:57:43,264
...with her husband, who had made life
possible for her until he was...

1739
01:57:43,432 --> 01:57:45,934
...bewitched by another woman.

1740
01:57:47,478 --> 01:57:49,312
A destroyer.

1741
01:57:54,151 --> 01:57:56,152
Abandoned...

1742
01:57:58,822 --> 01:58:01,407
...like someone left for dead.

1743
01:58:02,660 --> 01:58:05,578
She plans her suicide.

1744
01:58:08,332 --> 01:58:10,792
Until the dream begins.

1745
01:58:12,336 --> 01:58:15,880
In the dream, the destroyer is destroyed.

1746
01:58:16,674 --> 01:58:19,175
That's a dream worth living for.

1747
01:58:23,889 --> 01:58:26,516
Now, with such simplicity...

1748
01:58:29,520 --> 01:58:33,481
...such clarity,
everything falls into place.

1749
01:58:36,235 --> 01:58:38,486
It must be a crime...

1750
01:58:38,654 --> 01:58:44,075
...that her husband can declare unsolved
and be believed by all the world.

1751
01:58:44,493 --> 01:58:47,245
She must make it look like a rape.

1752
01:58:48,330 --> 01:58:51,374
But she must leave her husband clueless.

1753
01:58:51,542 --> 01:58:54,669
Once he discovers who it was...

1754
01:58:55,379 --> 01:58:59,048
...he'll put the case into the file
of unsolved murders.

1755
01:59:00,718 --> 01:59:02,969
Another break-in by some...

1756
01:59:03,137 --> 01:59:05,722
...sex-crazed man.

1757
01:59:09,852 --> 01:59:12,061
But all his life...

1758
01:59:13,188 --> 01:59:15,565
...he'll know that it was her.

1759
01:59:20,321 --> 01:59:22,989
She remembers a set of glasses
she bought for the woman...

1760
01:59:23,157 --> 01:59:28,119
...some time before, a housewarming gift
from her husband and his office.

1761
01:59:28,287 --> 01:59:30,580
She buys another set.

1762
01:59:31,498 --> 01:59:35,877
Her husband has a beer one night.

1763
01:59:36,420 --> 01:59:39,255
Doesn't even comment on the glass.

1764
01:59:39,923 --> 01:59:42,425
Now she has his fingerprints.

1765
01:59:46,388 --> 01:59:48,931
Then on a few mornings...

1766
01:59:49,975 --> 01:59:54,270
...she saves the fluid that comes out
when she removes her diaphragm.

1767
02:00:00,736 --> 02:00:03,446
Puts it in a plastic bag.

1768
02:00:04,323 --> 02:00:07,283
Puts the bag in the basement freeZer...

1769
02:00:08,118 --> 02:00:09,452
...and waits.

1770
02:00:12,122 --> 02:00:15,208
She calls the woman and asks to see her.

1771
02:00:15,376 --> 02:00:18,628
Stops first at the U
and logs into the computer.

1772
02:00:18,796 --> 02:00:20,296
Now she has her alibi.

1773
02:00:23,384 --> 02:00:25,635
She goes to the woman.

1774
02:00:26,261 --> 02:00:28,304
The woman lets her in.

1775
02:00:29,139 --> 02:00:34,227
And when her head is turned, she removes
the instrument from her bag and strikes.

1776
02:00:36,146 --> 02:00:38,940
The destroyer is destroyed.

1777
02:00:41,985 --> 02:00:45,780
She takes a cord out...

1778
02:00:45,948 --> 02:00:48,366
...that she brought along...

1779
02:00:50,244 --> 02:00:52,412
...and ties her body...

1780
02:00:52,579 --> 02:00:56,499
...in ways her husband described
the perverts do.

1781
02:00:58,669 --> 02:01:00,962
She feels power...

1782
02:01:02,464 --> 02:01:04,424
...control...

1783
02:01:05,634 --> 02:01:09,971
...a sense that she's guided
by a force beyond herself.

1784
02:01:12,224 --> 02:01:17,562
She takes a syringe and injects
the contents of the Ziploc bag...

1785
02:01:17,938 --> 02:01:20,898
...leaves the glass on the bar...

1786
02:01:21,191 --> 02:01:24,527
...unlocks the door and windows...

1787
02:01:26,196 --> 02:01:27,905
...and goes home.

1788
02:01:31,702 --> 02:01:34,495
And life begins again.

1789
02:01:40,210 --> 02:01:42,462
Until a trial...

1790
02:01:44,882 --> 02:01:47,758
...when she sees her husband suffer...

1791
02:01:48,552 --> 02:01:50,678
...the way she never...

1792
02:01:51,472 --> 02:01:52,555
...intended.

1793
02:01:55,434 --> 02:01:57,393
She was prepared to tell the truth.

1794
02:01:58,979 --> 02:02:01,314
Right up to the very end.

1795
02:02:04,276 --> 02:02:06,402
But magically...

1796
02:02:08,572 --> 02:02:11,115
...the charges were dismissed.

1797
02:02:13,994 --> 02:02:16,370
The suffering was over.

1798
02:02:18,749 --> 02:02:20,833
They were saved.

1799
02:02:26,423 --> 02:02:28,424
Saved?
