NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:08,283 --> 00:00:12,150
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:12,219 --> 00:00:14,016
the police who investigate crime
4
00:00:14,087 --> 00:00:16,851
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:16,957 --> 00:00:18,185
These are their stories.
6
00:00:19,893 --> 00:00:20,893
I can't believe it.
7
00:00:20,994 --> 00:00:23,155
I told you about Melissa leaving
the chorus of "Hairspray."
8
00:00:23,230 --> 00:00:26,393
Uh-huh. They gave it to
Lilith "the bitch" Miller.
9
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:28,668
That girl can't carry
my tap shoes.
10
00:00:28,735 --> 00:00:29,793
You'll get the next part.
11
00:00:29,870 --> 00:00:32,737
I killed in my audition
but they said I was too old.
12
00:00:32,873 --> 00:00:36,467
She's six months older than me. But, I
didn't sleep with the choreographer.
13
00:00:37,576 --> 00:00:38,576
(SCOFFS)
14
00:00:38,744 --> 00:00:41,736
Back in Minnesota, you'd be
locked up for staring like that.
15
00:00:41,814 --> 00:00:44,715
Well, in New York, I get
a dental plan and a pension.
16
00:00:44,784 --> 00:00:47,582
(LAUGHS) Forget about her.
She's not your type.
17
00:00:49,121 --> 00:00:51,715
What type is that? The type
that can afford to shop here.
18
00:00:52,892 --> 00:00:54,223
Did you see that?
19
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:03,100
Miss.
20
00:01:03,501 --> 00:01:05,594
She's probably
scared out of her mind.
21
00:01:05,837 --> 00:01:07,202
I know you can hear me, Miss.
22
00:01:07,472 --> 00:01:09,167
At least she can't go anywhere.
23
00:01:09,974 --> 00:01:10,974
Miss, we're coming in.
24
00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:15,740
Oh, my God!
25
00:01:18,149 --> 00:01:20,811
No one, absolutely no one
from the store touched her.
26
00:01:20,885 --> 00:01:21,885
That I can swear to.
27
00:01:21,953 --> 00:01:23,044
That's good.
28
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,385
Our lawyer told me to tell you we have
surveillance cameras running 24 l7.
29
00:01:26,457 --> 00:01:28,137
That's good, too.
Let me ask you something,
30
00:01:28,192 --> 00:01:29,472
you call your lawyer first
or us?
31
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:31,587
Are you implying something?
32
00:01:31,662 --> 00:01:33,596
All right. I'll take a look
at that surveillance tape.
33
00:01:33,664 --> 00:01:34,858
I'm duping one as we speak.
34
00:01:34,998 --> 00:01:36,192
You can see for yourself.
35
00:01:36,367 --> 00:01:38,801
Hey, we actually pay attention
to our security monitors now.
36
00:01:39,236 --> 00:01:40,236
Thank you, Winona.
37
00:01:40,504 --> 00:01:41,835
Excuse me?
38
00:01:42,373 --> 00:01:43,493
She was trying to rip us off.
39
00:01:44,074 --> 00:01:46,064
Let me know if there is
anything else we can do.
40
00:01:46,843 --> 00:01:48,572
Hey, man, it's nice of you
to show up.
41
00:01:48,678 --> 00:01:50,373
I'm tired, hungry and cranky.
42
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,414
Mom forgot to pack
my morning snack.
43
00:01:52,482 --> 00:01:55,417
Anyway, customer fell, hit her
head on the corner of the stool.
44
00:01:55,485 --> 00:01:56,543
DOA.
45
00:01:56,619 --> 00:01:58,299
Sounds like a civil suit
waiting to happen.
46
00:01:58,354 --> 00:02:00,322
Well, the store's already
circling the wagons.
47
00:02:00,456 --> 00:02:01,456
Detectives...
48
00:02:01,791 --> 00:02:02,985
This was under the body.
49
00:02:03,192 --> 00:02:05,990
Diabetes? This is not
an insulin syringe.
50
00:02:06,796 --> 00:02:08,286
Well, we have ID.
51
00:02:08,464 --> 00:02:10,761
Nadia Parkova. Model.
52
00:02:10,832 --> 00:02:13,733
Likes martial arts, dancing
and horseback riding.
53
00:02:13,802 --> 00:02:15,030
So do I.
54
00:02:16,471 --> 00:02:18,632
You know, Ed,
I've heard about this,
55
00:02:18,707 --> 00:02:20,467
but I never thought
it could actually happen.
56
00:02:20,475 --> 00:02:21,475
What's that?
57
00:02:21,576 --> 00:02:23,806
She shopped till she dropped.
58
00:03:14,727 --> 00:03:15,727
She had this with her?
59
00:03:16,029 --> 00:03:17,553
It sounds like she's
not supposed to.
60
00:03:17,630 --> 00:03:18,892
It was filled with Deverol.
61
00:03:18,965 --> 00:03:20,727
The Cadillac of painkillers.
62
00:03:21,733 --> 00:03:24,429
When I had my appendix out
they gave me that. I liked it.
63
00:03:24,803 --> 00:03:25,803
Don't we all.
64
00:03:26,371 --> 00:03:28,362
That's probably why you can't
get it outside of a hospital.
65
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,409
Let me tell you, this girl needed
all the pain killers she could get.
66
00:03:32,611 --> 00:03:34,340
Hairline clavicle fracture,
67
00:03:34,413 --> 00:03:35,539
three broken ribs.
68
00:03:35,647 --> 00:03:36,909
All that from the fall
in the store?
69
00:03:36,982 --> 00:03:39,007
No. Ribs look a
couple of months old,
70
00:03:39,384 --> 00:03:40,384
already starting to set.
71
00:03:40,519 --> 00:03:42,111
Clavicle, six months to a year.
72
00:03:42,354 --> 00:03:43,877
Full-contact modeling.
73
00:03:43,955 --> 00:03:46,321
There's a pay-per-view special
I'd ante up for.
74
00:03:46,390 --> 00:03:47,618
Besides Deverol,
75
00:03:47,692 --> 00:03:51,924
the preliminary tox screen showed
traces of Valium and Halcyon.
76
00:03:51,996 --> 00:03:53,327
So what was the cause of death?
77
00:03:53,431 --> 00:03:54,489
Coronary arrest.
78
00:03:54,565 --> 00:03:56,085
She was dead
before she hit the ground.
79
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,896
So it's not a homicide and
we can catch an early lunch.
80
00:03:59,003 --> 00:04:02,769
Uh, sorry. But I'm not going to check
the "Natural Causes" box just yet.
81
00:04:03,107 --> 00:04:05,371
There was blood pooled in her
kidneys and stomach.
82
00:04:05,943 --> 00:04:08,274
And the stomach bone's
connected to the heart bone?
83
00:04:08,345 --> 00:04:11,345
Look, the pounding I think this girl
took, it couldn't be good for her heart.
84
00:04:11,615 --> 00:04:13,775
I've got some more blood work to run.
I'll let you know.

Papa loved Nadia very much.
91
00:04:32,835 --> 00:04:34,564
I'm sure he did, Lena.
92
00:04:34,637 --> 00:04:36,969
Did Nadia live
with you and your parents?

00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,336
Yes. We're very
a close family.

95
00:04:43,712 --> 00:04:46,476
Did you know that your
sister had broken ribs?

00:04:46,649 --> 00:04:48,617
Oh, it was terrible accident.
97
00:04:48,784 --> 00:04:50,274
She fall down the stairs.
98
00:04:50,486 --> 00:04:52,351
But not serious...
99

Yes.

a boyfriend?

she wasn't working?

tell you Nadia have accident.

how she got 'em?

00:05:44,904 --> 00:05:48,465
Oh, the language thing...
Something about stairs.
120
00:05:48,608 --> 00:05:49,608
But you didn't believe it?
121
00:05:49,709 --> 00:05:52,610
You don't get bruises like she
had from falling down stairs.
122
00:05:52,678 --> 00:05:54,646
You know, you're supposed
to report that sort of thing.
123
00:05:54,714 --> 00:05:55,772
Yeah. I did report it.
124
00:05:55,848 --> 00:05:58,681
Although her mom and sister
screamed holy hell when I did.
125
00:05:59,018 --> 00:06:01,043
The police came down here, talked
to the three of them for hours
126
00:06:01,153 --> 00:06:03,245
and then decided it was all
a false alarm.
127
00:06:03,388 --> 00:06:05,083
They told me it's very hard
to make a case for abuse

when the complainant
doesn't complain.
129

And it's hard to complain when
you don't speak the language.
130
00:06:09,427 --> 00:06:11,418
Oh, she spoke well enough
through the little girl.
131
00:06:11,529 --> 00:06:13,724
Look, none of them
wanted the cops involved.
132
00:06:13,798 --> 00:06:16,062
I figured it was
some sort of green card thing.

Hey, you can't help people who
won't help themselves, huh?

time to learn our language.

I shouldn't have said that. You
caught me on a bad day. I apologize.

Look, I can tell you this,
139
00:06:31,482 --> 00:06:32,915
the one thing the three of
them were concerned about
140
00:06:32,983 --> 00:06:35,417
was how quick Nadia
could get back to work.
141
00:06:35,686 --> 00:06:37,779
So they were okay with
the internal bleeding?
142
00:06:37,855 --> 00:06:39,516
Hey. I X-rayed the girl.
143
00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:40,750
If she were bleeding internally,
144
00:06:40,824 --> 00:06:42,314
I wouldn't have
let her out the door.
145
00:06:45,896 --> 00:06:46,920
Wouldn't you know it?
146
00:06:46,997 --> 00:06:50,056
I finally got her a national print
campaign for Abbott Merchandising.
147
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,799
It could have been
her big break.
148
00:06:51,868 --> 00:06:54,428
She didn't look like she'd
have trouble getting work.
149
00:06:54,504 --> 00:06:56,199
Oh, Nadia was pretty enough.

out there.

An inch here, an ounce there,
152
00:06:59,542 --> 00:07:02,443
it's the difference between Elle
McPherson and Cookie Rutigliano.
153
00:07:02,612 --> 00:07:03,612
Who is that?
154
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,079
That's my point.
155
00:07:06,049 --> 00:07:09,917
Nadia had a nice face.
She was a nice girl.
156
00:07:10,553 --> 00:07:12,384
But her thighs
kept her off the runway.
157
00:07:12,455 --> 00:07:14,479
And her hips
kept her out of swimsuits.
158
00:07:14,923 --> 00:07:16,948
Maybe if she spoke
the language just a little.
159
00:07:17,125 --> 00:07:19,719
Well, if she didn't speak English...
Money talks, Detective.
160

dates and addresses,
162
00:07:23,131 --> 00:07:25,122
she showed up
and collected a check.

00:07:25,967 --> 00:07:28,299
You mind if I ask,
how did it happen?
164
00:07:28,370 --> 00:07:29,810
That's what we're
trying to find out.
165
00:07:29,838 --> 00:07:31,499
But she wasn't shot or anything?
166
00:07:31,573 --> 00:07:32,699
Why do you say that?
167
00:07:33,542 --> 00:07:35,339
It was always
something with her.
168
00:07:35,644 --> 00:07:36,837
Twisted ankle.
169
00:07:36,911 --> 00:07:38,606
Burns from spilling soup.
170
00:07:38,846 --> 00:07:40,313
She sounds accident prone.
171
00:07:40,414 --> 00:07:41,414
Yeah, that's it.

you should talk to...
175
00:07:47,321 --> 00:07:49,118
Her friend, Velida.
176
00:07:49,490 --> 00:07:52,357
Bigger thighs,
but hands to kill for.
177
00:07:52,626 --> 00:07:54,526
At least she speaks
a word or two in English.
178
00:07:54,729 --> 00:07:55,957
Which ones?
179
00:07:56,063 --> 00:07:58,554
"I pretty. Give me."
180
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,061
If you want to know truth,
181
00:08:01,134 --> 00:08:03,102
Nadia wasn't happy to be model.
182
00:08:03,169 --> 00:08:07,333
She was shy. Self-conscious.
Made her uncomfortable.
183
00:08:07,407 --> 00:08:08,407
BRISCOE: Then why?
184
00:08:08,475 --> 00:08:10,306
Better than walking streets, no?
185
00:08:10,577 --> 00:08:12,807
What else she gonna do?
Be brain surgeon?
186
00:08:13,379 --> 00:08:14,971
She got family.
She gotta pay rent.
187
00:08:15,048 --> 00:08:17,312
Not to mention a boyfriend
who knocked her around.
188
00:08:17,650 --> 00:08:18,810
What? Who?
189
00:08:18,985 --> 00:08:21,180
We know all about him, Velida.
190
00:08:21,254 --> 00:08:25,155
(SCOFFS) Anthony was idiot,
but he never hit Nadia.
191
00:08:25,224 --> 00:08:26,664
ED: Then how did
her ribs get broken?
192
00:08:27,493 --> 00:08:28,892
She fall down stairs.
193
00:08:28,961 --> 00:08:30,952
With a little encouragement
from Anthony?
194
00:08:31,163 --> 00:08:34,257
Look, he told her he's big time Charlie.
He gonna make her star.
195
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,262
Like hell. He's just
bum loading boxes.
196
00:08:37,436 --> 00:08:38,494
She told him hit the road.
197
00:08:40,639 --> 00:08:44,405
He knows if he hit Nadia,
her father break his neck.
198
00:08:47,612 --> 00:08:50,012
Ugh... This here's just
a place to hang my hat
199
00:08:50,081 --> 00:08:52,106
till the ol' ship
comes in, you know.
200
00:08:52,283 --> 00:08:54,649
By that you mean Nadia Parkova?
Yeah.
201
00:08:55,052 --> 00:08:57,020
Sure, Hef and Gucci
rejected her,
202
00:08:57,088 --> 00:08:59,784
but Flynt, Old Larry's
gonna come through.
203
00:08:59,924 --> 00:09:02,290
You'll see. She'll
be a centerfold yet.
204
00:09:02,593 --> 00:09:04,185
Miss... Whatever.
205
00:09:04,428 --> 00:09:05,622
Then she'll come back to me.
206
00:09:05,730 --> 00:09:08,631
I can't imagine why Nadia left a
charmer like you in the first place.
207
00:09:08,699 --> 00:09:10,632
Yeah. You can say
that again, pal.
208
00:09:11,401 --> 00:09:12,595
So what's up?
209
00:09:12,669 --> 00:09:13,897
She do something wrong or what?
210
00:09:14,037 --> 00:09:17,200
Well, I wouldn't hold my breath
till she comes back, Anthony.
211
00:09:17,340 --> 00:09:18,340
She's dead.
212
00:09:20,243 --> 00:09:21,243
Dead?
213
00:09:22,512 --> 00:09:25,345
Don't worry, you'll find another
punching bag soon enough.
214
00:09:26,049 --> 00:09:27,573
What? You think
I hit her?
215
00:09:27,784 --> 00:09:28,842
Somebody did.
216
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:30,386
You look a little nervous
there, Anthony.
217
00:09:30,453 --> 00:09:31,784
Yeah. Why not?
218
00:09:31,855 --> 00:09:34,414
I'm the ginzo boyfriend, right?
I work at a loading dock.
219
00:09:34,490 --> 00:09:37,391
Go out. Have a couple of pops, come
home and beat the old lady, right?
220
00:09:37,459 --> 00:09:39,450
Yeah, I seen that
movie a million times.
221
00:09:39,695 --> 00:09:40,695
Yeah.
So have we.
222
00:09:41,330 --> 00:09:43,025
Yeah. Well, it's
different this time.
223
00:09:43,265 --> 00:09:46,029
Look, I couldn't be with Nadia for
more than two seconds without her
224
00:09:46,268 --> 00:09:47,758
collapsing out of exhaustion.
225
00:09:47,837 --> 00:09:51,568
I told her, "You gotta take a break,
life's too short, you're too young."
226
00:09:51,807 --> 00:09:53,035
You know what she'd say?
227
00:09:53,108 --> 00:09:55,474
"Papa said must have
to work."
228
00:09:55,978 --> 00:09:57,535
Look guys, you can arrest me,
229
00:09:57,612 --> 00:10:00,706
but anybody, anybody who tells
you I hit that girl
230
00:10:00,782 --> 00:10:03,376
is a damn liar
and will go directly to hell.
231
00:10:04,953 --> 00:10:06,313
You're actually buying
any of that?
232
00:10:06,321 --> 00:10:08,221
Hey, without a witness,
I have to.
233
00:10:08,456 --> 00:10:11,323
You know, my daughter broke
her toe when she was eight.
234
00:10:11,526 --> 00:10:15,587
I had a three car escort with lights and
sirens all the way to St. Vincent's.
235
00:10:15,663 --> 00:10:17,583
So you're thinking Nadia's
old man beat up on her?
236
00:10:17,732 --> 00:10:19,199
Hey, his kid's in the E.R.
237
00:10:19,267 --> 00:10:22,066
You don't think it's odd he didn't
even check in to see if she was okay?
238
00:10:22,135 --> 00:10:23,193
Maybe he was busy?
239
00:10:23,303 --> 00:10:25,032
Doing what?
Eating borscht?
240
00:10:25,138 --> 00:10:27,470
Look, I'm not saying
he wanted to kill her.
241
00:10:27,774 --> 00:10:29,799
Maybe she was tired
like Anthony said.
242
00:10:29,877 --> 00:10:31,742
Maybe she wanted to take
a vacation.
243
00:10:31,812 --> 00:10:35,179
But Dad knows the family can't
pay the rent if she takes one...
244
00:10:35,349 --> 00:10:37,817
So we just go ask him if he
was beatin' up his daughter?
245
00:10:38,118 --> 00:10:41,417
I'm thinkin' it might be a better
shot to talk to daughter number two.
246
00:10:42,956 --> 00:10:44,115
LENA: Papa is smart.
247
00:10:44,190 --> 00:10:47,216
But get only
odd jobs. He...
248
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,523
The language is hard for him.
249
00:10:49,595 --> 00:10:52,029
Well, not you.
You speak real good.
250
00:10:52,198 --> 00:10:53,426
I speak "well".
251
00:10:53,666 --> 00:10:55,293
How many times I gotta
tell you that, Lennie?
252
00:10:55,401 --> 00:10:56,868
Yeah. That's
a tough one, Ed.
253
00:10:57,036 --> 00:10:59,368
You know, Lena, my Dad,
when he got laid off,
254
00:10:59,438 --> 00:11:02,407
he almost went crazy sittin'
around the house doing nothing.
255
00:11:02,541 --> 00:11:03,803
Then he'd go out to the bars
256
00:11:03,876 --> 00:11:05,434
and get in all kinds of
trouble...
257
00:11:05,611 --> 00:11:09,273
No. Papa is proud.
He wants to get American.
258
00:11:09,681 --> 00:11:11,945
Well, thank God for Nadia. I mean,
y'all have a nice place to live,
259
00:11:12,050 --> 00:11:14,678
food, clothes.
Yeah. Did she ever complain?
260
00:11:14,786 --> 00:11:15,844
Of course not.
261
00:11:15,987 --> 00:11:18,854
She never said, "I want
to take a break from working."
262
00:11:19,190 --> 00:11:20,817
You know,
"have a little fun."
263
00:11:21,626 --> 00:11:23,423
No.
She wouldn't do that, Ed.
264
00:11:23,495 --> 00:11:24,655
Dad wouldn't put up with it.
265
00:11:24,729 --> 00:11:27,926
ED: You're right. Somebody's got to put food
on the table while he sits around all day.
266
00:11:27,999 --> 00:11:30,728
You know what I think, Lennie.
I think Nadia tried to stop.
267
00:11:30,801 --> 00:11:31,801
ED: Daddy got mad...
268
00:11:31,902 --> 00:11:33,096
No!
You know what, Ed?
269
00:11:33,203 --> 00:11:36,172
I think maybe we should just arrest him
and let the lawyers figure it out.
270
00:11:36,273 --> 00:11:38,537
No! Papa no hit her.
271
00:11:38,676 --> 00:11:39,973
Doctor, she knows.
272
00:11:40,044 --> 00:11:42,979
Talk to Doctor.
She tell you Papa not hit her.
273
00:11:46,884 --> 00:11:48,249
I was treating her asthma.
274
00:11:48,319 --> 00:11:49,684
That was the least
of her problems.
275
00:11:49,753 --> 00:11:53,553
Imagine not being able to fill your
lungs with air as your minor problem.
276
00:11:54,757 --> 00:11:57,282
Freud says asthma is a
crying out for your parents.
277
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,885
In Nadia's case, it was a crying
out to be free of them...
278
00:11:59,963 --> 00:12:02,431
Or what they were
asking of her anyway.
279
00:12:02,598 --> 00:12:03,860
She told you that?
280
00:12:03,933 --> 00:12:04,957
She didn't have to?
281
00:12:05,034 --> 00:12:08,162
I saw the look on her face when her
little sister was giving me her history.
282
00:12:08,504 --> 00:12:11,371
That poor girl was supporting
four people since she was 15.
283
00:12:11,574 --> 00:12:14,907
She should have been going to the prom,
staying out late and cutting school.
284
00:12:15,011 --> 00:12:17,275
Well, she had
a lot of injuries, Doc.
285
00:12:17,346 --> 00:12:19,780
And, huh, we think her
father may have caused them.
286
00:12:19,982 --> 00:12:21,472
Oh, he caused them all right.
287
00:12:21,550 --> 00:12:22,550
But not how you think.
288
00:12:23,018 --> 00:12:24,542
What? You saying
he didn't hit her?
289
00:12:24,686 --> 00:12:26,813
No way. She was
his meal ticket.
290
00:12:27,356 --> 00:12:30,621
Nadia hated her life so much and
she felt so guilty about it
291
00:12:30,692 --> 00:12:32,819
she intentionally injured
herself trying to escape it.
292
00:12:33,161 --> 00:12:35,095
You saying she pushed
herself down the stairs?
293
00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:36,488
So to speak.
294
00:12:36,565 --> 00:12:39,398
Accidents aren't always as
accidental as we'd like to believe.
295
00:12:39,468 --> 00:12:42,027
So you just patched her up
and prescribed some Deverol?
296
00:12:43,137 --> 00:12:44,968
What makes you think
I gave her Deverol?
297
00:12:45,072 --> 00:12:47,472
She injected herself
with it just before she died.
298
00:12:47,575 --> 00:12:50,601
Saracin and Bronchitrol are the
only medications I prescribed.
299
00:12:51,045 --> 00:12:52,535
They're both breathing aids.
300
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:56,172
Add in Deverol to either and you'll
end up with cardiac arrest for sure.
301
00:13:03,557 --> 00:13:05,285
ED: The M.E. Ran
a second tox screen.
302
00:13:05,358 --> 00:13:07,690
The girl probably took the
asthma medicine that morning.
303
00:13:07,927 --> 00:13:11,363
Yeah. We figure her old bones started
to ache from all that heavy shopping
304
00:13:11,498 --> 00:13:12,988
so she went in the
dressing room,
305
00:13:13,066 --> 00:13:14,294
shot herself with Deverol.
306
00:13:14,434 --> 00:13:15,833
And it's the combination
that killed her?
307
00:13:15,902 --> 00:13:16,902
Exactly.
308
00:13:16,970 --> 00:13:20,133
Uh, this Dr. Abrams says that
any halfway competent doctor
309
00:13:20,206 --> 00:13:22,265
would have known that and
the M.E. Agrees with her.
310
00:13:22,342 --> 00:13:24,105
Which makes this
malpractice, not murder.
311
00:13:24,177 --> 00:13:25,542
I don't think her folks
would agree with that.
312
00:13:25,612 --> 00:13:27,636
Hey, well, luckily they
don't write the laws.
313
00:13:27,746 --> 00:13:31,375
Ah, the vote is in, Ed. Once again
you didn't win Mister Sensitivity.
314
00:13:31,550 --> 00:13:34,542
Hey, man., I feel terrible. It's a God's
honest shame what happened to that girl
315
00:13:34,620 --> 00:13:35,820
but that don't make it a crime.
316
00:13:35,821 --> 00:13:39,484
If whoever sold Nadia the Deverol
didn't ask the right questions, it is.
317
00:13:39,558 --> 00:13:41,958
And you don't think she was
obligated to tell the doctor
318
00:13:42,027 --> 00:13:44,518
what other meds she was taking?
Doctors aren't mind-readers.
319
00:13:44,663 --> 00:13:47,023
Yeah. I've got to admit, there
are bigger dangers in society
320
00:13:47,132 --> 00:13:50,431
than a doctor selling pain killers
to a Christie Brinkley wannabe.
321
00:13:50,502 --> 00:13:51,525
ED: Thank you.
322
00:13:51,636 --> 00:13:55,072
That is if we're even talking about
somebody with an MD after his name?
323
00:13:55,139 --> 00:13:59,235
Well, let's find out where she got the
Deverol and then we'll continue the debate.
324
00:14:02,146 --> 00:14:04,239
We're trying to help you, Mrs. Parkova...

how glad I am to see you.

Dr. Abrams she tell
you nobody hit Nadia?
330
00:14:17,828 --> 00:14:19,261
BRISCOE:
Yes. That's what she said.
331
00:14:19,329 --> 00:14:21,354
Good. Then why you
not leave us alone?
332
00:14:21,431 --> 00:14:24,992
It turns out somebody gave Nadia
some medicine that killed her.

We don't know anything.

Did you ever see your
sister inject herself?

00:14:30,340 --> 00:14:33,002
For what? Only medicine
she takes is to breathe.
337
00:14:33,076 --> 00:14:35,636

the asthma medicine from?

Not me.

give it.
342
00:14:43,786 --> 00:14:45,906
Frankly, I don't know a doctor
that would prescribe it.
343
00:14:46,055 --> 00:14:47,249
So how does a patient
get a hold of it?
344
00:14:47,323 --> 00:14:49,655
He wouldn't. Unless he was
post-op in a hospital.
345
00:14:49,792 --> 00:14:52,852
So, the only prescriptions you filled
for Nadia were for her asthma?
346
00:14:52,962 --> 00:14:56,830
I didn't say that. She was in here so
much I joked I should put her on payroll.
347
00:14:56,899 --> 00:14:58,025
Yeah, that's funny.
348
00:14:58,100 --> 00:15:01,296
Yeah... Asthma, migraines,
uh, depression, insomnia.
349
00:15:01,503 --> 00:15:02,595
She was a doctor's dream.
350
00:15:02,904 --> 00:15:04,166
Pharmacist's, too.
351
00:15:04,239 --> 00:15:06,537
You know that's strange
because Dr. Abrams said
352
00:15:06,641 --> 00:15:08,121
she only prescribed
asthma medication.
353
00:15:08,143 --> 00:15:10,663
Sure, but there was another doctor
who called in prescriptions...
354
00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:13,780
Yeah, here it is.
Dr. Ellis Heinz.
355
00:15:14,782 --> 00:15:17,751
Guy acted like he was doing me
a favor renting space from me.
356
00:15:17,819 --> 00:15:18,819
Maybe he was.
357
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,014
I've had my fill with
doctors, thank you.
358
00:15:22,157 --> 00:15:23,317
I'm going to renovate.
359
00:15:23,391 --> 00:15:24,584
Maybe get an accountant.
360
00:15:24,658 --> 00:15:26,939
You know, someone you know you
can't trust from the get-go.
361
00:15:26,994 --> 00:15:28,474
So what was the problem with Dr.
Heinz?
362
00:15:28,662 --> 00:15:30,994
Well, how does six months
behind on the rent sound?
363
00:15:31,198 --> 00:15:32,825
And it's not like
he was hurting either.
364
00:15:32,933 --> 00:15:34,594
This place was always
packed with sickies.
365
00:15:34,668 --> 00:15:36,268
What kind of doctor was he?
I don't know.
366
00:15:36,570 --> 00:15:40,836
Oh, but once I saw what's her name,
you know, from that movie in here.
367
00:15:40,908 --> 00:15:42,273
No kidding?
Yeah.
368
00:15:42,442 --> 00:15:43,642
She wasn't the only one either.
369
00:15:44,011 --> 00:15:47,139
You know when he moved?
Oh, about three months ago.
370
00:15:47,681 --> 00:15:49,443
Right after we
served him with papers.
371
00:15:55,821 --> 00:15:57,721
Sorry, that's the
last address I have.
372
00:15:57,790 --> 00:15:59,883
Don't doctors have to
keep you up to date?
373
00:16:00,159 --> 00:16:02,787
Sure, if they want the Medical
Association magazine...
374
00:16:03,095 --> 00:16:05,290
Sometimes after doctors retire
they forget to tell us.
375
00:16:05,364 --> 00:16:07,195
So what else you got on Dr.
Heinz in here?
376
00:16:07,366 --> 00:16:09,926
He got his degree
from Guadalajara, Mexico.
377
00:16:10,002 --> 00:16:11,434
Why am I not surprised?
378
00:16:11,536 --> 00:16:14,903
I'll have you know some of this country's
finest practitioners studied abroad.
379
00:16:15,273 --> 00:16:17,241
What about after he graduated?
380
00:16:17,676 --> 00:16:20,008
Ah, passed the boards in '83
381
00:16:20,078 --> 00:16:22,979
Interned at Queens
Community Medical Center.
382
00:16:23,415 --> 00:16:25,440
No specialty.
No board certification.
383
00:16:25,784 --> 00:16:29,151
Does he have any, uh,
customers' seals of approval?
384
00:16:32,023 --> 00:16:34,048
There was one complaint
if that's what you mean.
385
00:16:34,559 --> 00:16:36,958
But it was
dropped. A Doug Barsky.
386
00:16:37,595 --> 00:16:39,995
BARSKY: Ellis is a
first rate MD. Here.
387
00:16:40,331 --> 00:16:41,457
Look at this.
388
00:16:41,532 --> 00:16:43,523
Like a bar mitzvah boy. Botox.
389
00:16:43,601 --> 00:16:45,441
Not a wrinkle to be found.
The guy works magic.
390
00:16:45,469 --> 00:16:48,165
Well, if you like him so much why'd you
complain to the Medical Association?
391
00:16:48,305 --> 00:16:50,830
Well, it had nothing to do with his
doctoring. That was strictly business.
392
00:16:50,941 --> 00:16:52,272
I mean, you know what
they say about doctors.
393
00:16:52,343 --> 00:16:54,208
No, actually, I don't.
394
00:16:54,311 --> 00:16:56,643
They go to med school because
they're bad with money.
395
00:16:57,181 --> 00:17:00,308
Ellis tells me about a building
he's buying, medical suites,
396
00:17:00,450 --> 00:17:02,350
very upscale, the whole
nine yards.
397
00:17:02,719 --> 00:17:05,745
He figures cash flow'll
turn positive in a year tops.
398
00:17:06,256 --> 00:17:07,848
He just needs
some cash for bridge financing
399
00:17:07,924 --> 00:17:10,222
while he does some
renovations on the joint.
400
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,585
Like a jerk, I help him out.
401
00:17:12,829 --> 00:17:14,729
Sounds like things didn't
go according to plan.
402
00:17:14,897 --> 00:17:17,092
There was no joint.
Someone outbid him.
403
00:17:17,166 --> 00:17:18,155
Oh, and he forgot to tell you?
404
00:17:18,234 --> 00:17:20,674
Yeah. Pissed me off to no end.
That's why I made the complaint.
405
00:17:20,737 --> 00:17:23,068
Yeah, but the Medical Association
said you dropped it.
406
00:17:23,171 --> 00:17:24,661
Sure I did.
He apologized.
407
00:17:24,873 --> 00:17:26,670
A good doctor is hard to find.
408
00:17:26,842 --> 00:17:29,106
Hey, hold on.
You still use him?
409
00:17:29,311 --> 00:17:31,336
Yeah. He comes here once a
month, like clockwork.
410
00:17:31,713 --> 00:17:32,713
What for?
411
00:17:32,881 --> 00:17:34,781
Hey, nothing lasts forever.
412
00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:38,044
The guy is amazing. How many doctors
you know still make house calls?
413
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:39,120
You got a number for him?
414
00:17:39,187 --> 00:17:41,587
I tried him last week.
It was disconnected.
415
00:17:41,957 --> 00:17:43,982
Y'know, I wonder if he made
a house call to Nadia?
416
00:17:44,126 --> 00:17:46,491
If he did, I wonder how
he slipped past the family.
417
00:17:46,594 --> 00:17:48,585
Hey, it's, uh,
never too early, you know?
418
00:17:52,433 --> 00:17:54,924
We know all about
Dr. Heinz, Lena?
419
00:17:55,269 --> 00:17:56,293
Who?
420
00:17:56,370 --> 00:17:58,531
You know what, Lennie, I'm starting
to think that Lena's in on this.
421
00:17:58,606 --> 00:18:01,006
Why else would she protect
a jerk like Doctor Heinz?
422
00:18:01,075 --> 00:18:03,100
No. Why?
I love Nadia.
423
00:18:03,177 --> 00:18:04,303
So why are you lying to us?
424
00:18:04,578 --> 00:18:06,273
My partner's got a point, Lena.
425
00:18:06,414 --> 00:18:08,279
If Dr. Heinz
promised to pay you...
426
00:18:08,348 --> 00:18:09,940
No. He's a good man.
427
00:18:10,050 --> 00:18:11,711
Then why didn't you
tell us about him?
428
00:18:12,018 --> 00:18:13,349
My sister's dead.
429
00:18:13,486 --> 00:18:15,647
I just want police
to leave us alone.
430
00:18:16,056 --> 00:18:19,457
Dr. Heinz is famous doctor.
He help Nadia. Not hurt.
431
00:18:19,559 --> 00:18:21,083
And what makes
you think he's famous?
432
00:18:23,797 --> 00:18:25,196
See? Famous.
433
00:18:26,299 --> 00:18:30,030
"Ellis Heinz, MD
Doctor to the Stars."
434
00:18:31,904 --> 00:18:33,735
That little girl thought
that we were the bad guys.
435
00:18:33,806 --> 00:18:36,206
I guess cops in Russia aren't
as revered by the public.
436
00:18:36,275 --> 00:18:38,106
Oh, what a weird place
that must be.
437
00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:40,335
Is there an address
attached to this number?
438
00:18:40,579 --> 00:18:43,070
Mmm-mmm. It's a cell phone. They
send the bills to a P.O. Box.
439
00:18:43,148 --> 00:18:47,084
Well, it's kind of embarrassing. Uh,
Doug Barsky told me you were the best...
440
00:18:47,553 --> 00:18:49,453
Uh-huh. No. No.
No problem...
441
00:18:50,289 --> 00:18:51,449
Yeah. I'll see you then...
442
00:18:51,990 --> 00:18:55,254
Well, luckily, the good doctor
has decided to squeeze me in.
443
00:18:55,326 --> 00:18:56,566
He gonna make a house call here?
444
00:18:56,594 --> 00:18:58,459
No. It's a
restaurant on 10th.
445
00:18:58,529 --> 00:18:59,689
It's where he sees
all his patients.
446
00:18:59,897 --> 00:19:02,991
I'd hold off on the procedure
if he orders the chili.
447
00:19:03,101 --> 00:19:04,101
(CHUCKLES)
448
00:19:09,140 --> 00:19:10,767
Dr. Heinz?
Leonard?
449
00:19:11,342 --> 00:19:12,366
Thanks for meeting me.
450
00:19:12,710 --> 00:19:17,374
I like to meet patients here. It
tends to lessen the initial anxiety.
451
00:19:17,582 --> 00:19:20,641
And if that doesn't work, a
little shot of Deverol will.
452
00:19:20,817 --> 00:19:22,910
Excuse me.
Do you know him?
453
00:19:23,019 --> 00:19:26,750
Well, sometimes he wishes I didn't
but, yeah, he's my partner.
454
00:19:26,923 --> 00:19:29,323
Maybe you'd like to come down to
our office for a little chat?
455
00:19:33,497 --> 00:19:36,432
Nadia Parkova couldn't sleep,
I prescribed Halcyon.
456
00:19:36,500 --> 00:19:39,094
She had migraine headaches,
I prescribed Valium.
457
00:19:39,336 --> 00:19:42,031
Actually, we're more concerned
about the Deverol, Doc.
458
00:19:42,104 --> 00:19:43,969
I removed a mole from her neck.
459
00:19:44,106 --> 00:19:46,597
It's minor surgery but
it's still painful.
460
00:19:46,809 --> 00:19:48,140
Thus the painkiller.
461
00:19:48,244 --> 00:19:49,964
Is there something
we're missing, Detective?
462
00:19:49,979 --> 00:19:51,970
Yeah. Most doctors
won't have anything to do
463
00:19:52,047 --> 00:19:53,981
with liquid Deverol
outside of the hospital.
464
00:19:54,049 --> 00:19:55,744
I'm not your typical doctor.
465
00:19:55,818 --> 00:19:57,080
Gee, I didn't notice.
466
00:19:57,753 --> 00:20:00,381
A licensed professional
administered a legal drug.
467
00:20:00,523 --> 00:20:03,424
That's all hunky-dory
except the patient's dead!
468
00:20:03,726 --> 00:20:05,488
Well, that's unfortunate.
469
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,495
Bottom line is that if she'd
been honest with Dr. Heinz
470
00:20:08,630 --> 00:20:10,291
she might be alive today.
471
00:20:10,565 --> 00:20:13,645
(OVER SPEAKER) As you can see from the
forms she filled out herself and signed,
472
00:20:13,701 --> 00:20:16,499
she didn't inform Dr. Heinz she
was taking any other medications.
473
00:20:21,443 --> 00:20:24,537
I don't know who disgusts me more.
Doctors or lawyers.
474
00:20:24,646 --> 00:20:26,773
Well, maybe this'll help
you make up your mind.
475
00:20:27,015 --> 00:20:30,415
As far as I can tell, Dr.
Heinz didn't break any laws.
476
00:20:30,818 --> 00:20:32,513
So, what? We just
have to let him go?
477
00:20:32,653 --> 00:20:35,918
Unless he double-parked in front of
the restaurant, we have no choice.
478
00:20:35,989 --> 00:20:38,480
But, I'll give
Southerlyn a call.
479
00:20:39,293 --> 00:20:40,351
ARTHUR: He doesn't
have an office?
480
00:20:40,494 --> 00:20:42,223
He was evicted for
non-payment.
481
00:20:42,596 --> 00:20:44,120
He advertises by flier?
482
00:20:44,398 --> 00:20:45,524
That's how the victim found him.
483
00:20:45,599 --> 00:20:47,226
He meets his patients
in a restaurant?
484
00:20:47,634 --> 00:20:50,626
He says it cuts down on overhead
and therefore patients' bills.
485
00:20:50,838 --> 00:20:54,933
Which gets him closer to a humanitarian
award than a malpractice suit.
486
00:20:55,241 --> 00:20:57,402
Actually, I was thinking about
door number three.
487
00:20:58,044 --> 00:21:00,069
He's unorthodox, Arthur.
He's weird.
488
00:21:00,847 --> 00:21:03,645
But there's never been a complaint
about the way he practices medicine.
489
00:21:03,816 --> 00:21:05,976
Well, there is a dead girl
here somewhere, isn't there?
490
00:21:06,118 --> 00:21:09,815
Dr. Heinz claims the victim never told
him she was taking asthma medication.
491
00:21:10,289 --> 00:21:11,313
Well, did she?
492
00:21:11,424 --> 00:21:14,154
It wasn't on the patient questionnaire
that she filled out and signed.
493
00:21:14,227 --> 00:21:17,161
And nothing even remotely suggests
that she told him otherwise.
494
00:21:17,696 --> 00:21:19,163
Well isn't this just wonderful?
495
00:21:19,364 --> 00:21:23,164
You know, there always is the possibility
that he didn't do anything wrong.
496
00:21:23,268 --> 00:21:24,565
Do you buy that?
SERENA: No.
497
00:21:24,636 --> 00:21:27,332
My doctor never sent me home
with a syringe full of anything.
498
00:21:27,606 --> 00:21:31,064
Show me the crime, I'll be
more than happy to prosecute.
499
00:21:31,142 --> 00:21:32,973
Deverol is a narcotic, Jack.
500
00:21:33,345 --> 00:21:35,245
He let Nadia Parkova
self-inject.
501
00:21:35,313 --> 00:21:38,646
She could have overdosed. She could
have passed out while driving a car...
502
00:21:39,149 --> 00:21:40,275
You know what I want?
503
00:21:40,351 --> 00:21:42,717
I want this guy stopped before
he kills somebody else.
504
00:21:43,187 --> 00:21:46,782
Now find something to charge
him with... Anything.
505
00:21:53,364 --> 00:21:55,696
Nadia like me.
She love mustard.
506
00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:57,465
You must miss her a lot.
507
00:21:58,168 --> 00:21:59,795
It is hard on Papa...
508
00:21:59,870 --> 00:22:00,870
But I will help.
509
00:22:01,105 --> 00:22:04,767
Miss Andee say soon I will be ready
to have pictures in magazine.
510
00:22:05,275 --> 00:22:06,537
If I am pretty enough.
511
00:22:07,043 --> 00:22:09,170
You're very beautiful, Lena.
512
00:22:09,712 --> 00:22:10,712
Like Nadia?
513
00:22:11,848 --> 00:22:13,975
Miss Andee say my lips are thin.
514
00:22:14,417 --> 00:22:16,009
I don't agree at all.
515
00:22:16,953 --> 00:22:19,888
I'd like to ask you a few questions
about Nadia, if that's okay?
516
00:22:20,256 --> 00:22:23,589
Dr. Heinz did not know.
He would never hurt her.
517
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:25,252
Of course he wouldn't.
518
00:22:25,428 --> 00:22:27,418
Were you there the first
time he met Nadia?
519
00:22:27,763 --> 00:22:29,492
Yes. At restaurant.
520
00:22:29,998 --> 00:22:31,625
Why did Nadia want to see him?
521
00:22:32,834 --> 00:22:36,099
She had terrible headache.
He make it go away.
522
00:22:36,171 --> 00:22:37,171
With a shot?
523
00:22:37,239 --> 00:22:38,331
Yes.
524
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,601
Then he saw a spot on
Nadia's neck.
525
00:22:40,876 --> 00:22:43,208
He cut it off to
make her more beautiful.
526
00:22:43,612 --> 00:22:45,477
Did you translate for Nadia?
527
00:22:45,614 --> 00:22:47,878
She work too hard
to study English.
528
00:22:48,450 --> 00:22:50,940
So you helped her fill out
the questionnaire he gave her?
529
00:22:51,052 --> 00:22:52,679
Yes. I translate.
530
00:22:53,888 --> 00:22:57,688
Did Dr. Heinz ever ask Nadia if
she was on other medication?
531
00:22:59,894 --> 00:23:00,986
Lena?
532
00:23:02,463 --> 00:23:03,987
Yes. He asked.
533
00:23:04,065 --> 00:23:05,327
What did you tell him?
534
00:23:05,900 --> 00:23:08,368
Exactly what Nadia tell me.
535
00:23:08,436 --> 00:23:09,476
She not take any medicine.
536
00:23:12,239 --> 00:23:13,500
Am I in hot water?
537
00:23:14,741 --> 00:23:16,868
Of course not...
538
00:23:18,411 --> 00:23:20,311
Do you know where
Nadia got this pamphlet?
539
00:23:21,348 --> 00:23:22,348
From her gymnasium.
540
00:23:28,688 --> 00:23:31,486
RICK: Damn, I knew this would
come back to bite us in the butt.
541
00:23:31,691 --> 00:23:33,556
No one's accusing you
of anything, Rick.
542
00:23:33,627 --> 00:23:36,561
It was Kathy. She did it all on her
own, never asked anyone about it.
543
00:23:36,629 --> 00:23:39,223
Besides, our lawyers swore
to me we're not responsible
544
00:23:39,298 --> 00:23:40,731
for anything that lunatic does.
545
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:43,029
Kathy? No, no, no.
She's just an actress.
546
00:23:43,769 --> 00:23:46,465
I mean, what kind of doctor
advertises on fliers?
547
00:23:46,739 --> 00:23:49,299
So, Dr. Heinz is the lunatic
you're referring to?
548
00:23:49,441 --> 00:23:50,738
Doctor to the stars?
549
00:23:50,876 --> 00:23:54,277
Give me a break. Kathy McGarity
ain't no Angelina Jolie.
550
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,539
And Kathy is the one that
passed out these fliers?
551
00:23:56,615 --> 00:24:01,017
She stuck them in the members' lockers.
Without knowledge or approval of management.
552
00:24:01,352 --> 00:24:03,047
I'd like to talk to Kathy.
553
00:24:03,354 --> 00:24:05,254
She's with her trainer
as we speak.
554
00:24:06,691 --> 00:24:09,057
The man works miracles.
That's why.
555
00:24:09,227 --> 00:24:12,060
He asked you to pass out this flier?
I offered.
556
00:24:13,131 --> 00:24:16,123
You have no idea what it's like
working on the set of a soap opera.
557
00:24:16,234 --> 00:24:18,031
Thanks. Give me a
break, huh?
558
00:24:18,603 --> 00:24:20,662
Sixteen-hour days in
four-inch heels.
559
00:24:20,738 --> 00:24:22,467
I gotta tell ya
by the end of the season
560
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,073
my back is so bad they had to
put me in traction for a month.
561
00:24:26,677 --> 00:24:28,304
Dr. Heinz helped you with that?
562
00:24:28,378 --> 00:24:30,312
He cured it.
In one visit.
563
00:24:30,514 --> 00:24:32,594
And I'd be lying if I told you
I hadn't been to every
564
00:24:32,616 --> 00:24:34,516
so-called specialist on
the East Coast.
565
00:24:35,185 --> 00:24:36,618
Let me guess.
A shot of Deverol?
566
00:24:37,454 --> 00:24:39,945
I'll tell you the truth, I wouldn't
mind if he was sticking pins
567
00:24:40,023 --> 00:24:42,184
in a little doll
and doing a rain dance.
568
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:43,986
The pain is gone.
569
00:24:44,061 --> 00:24:46,392
So you're still seeing him.
As often as possible.
570
00:24:46,529 --> 00:24:47,723
Never felt better.
571
00:24:47,797 --> 00:24:48,797
Deverol will do that.
572
00:24:49,131 --> 00:24:50,758
How did you find him
in the first place?
573
00:24:51,067 --> 00:24:53,501
My apartment was being painted
about six months ago,
574
00:24:53,569 --> 00:24:55,230
so I moved
into the Parkside Inn.
575
00:24:55,471 --> 00:24:57,063
Anyway, the back goes out
576
00:24:57,173 --> 00:25:00,939
and my regular doctor was away
for the weekend. Unreachable.
577
00:25:01,310 --> 00:25:04,370
The bellhop, Trinidad, he's
restocking my mini-bar,
578
00:25:04,447 --> 00:25:07,507
he hears me moan, he gives me Dr.
Heinz's name and number.
579
00:25:07,583 --> 00:25:09,550
You trusted the bellhop?
580
00:25:10,018 --> 00:25:11,747
I can see you've
never had back problems.
581
00:25:13,021 --> 00:25:14,386
I'm in the service business.
582
00:25:14,856 --> 00:25:18,292
People, they come in here expect to be
treated better than if they were at home.
583
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,190
But providing illegal services?
584
00:25:20,328 --> 00:25:21,328
What illegal?
585
00:25:21,629 --> 00:25:22,823
If your friend from
out of town gets sick
586
00:25:22,897 --> 00:25:25,092
and you give him your doctor's
name, did you break the law?
587
00:25:25,166 --> 00:25:27,464
If I got paid for
making the recommendation.
588
00:25:28,503 --> 00:25:30,164
Who said I got paid?
589
00:25:30,505 --> 00:25:33,166
Look I don't want to make
any trouble for you, Trinidad.
590
00:25:34,141 --> 00:25:37,440
That's good, 'cause I got a kid
that'd like to be a doctor someday.
591
00:25:37,878 --> 00:25:40,574
Last I looked, that requires
college and college requires money
592
00:25:40,647 --> 00:25:42,581
which requires I earn a living.
593
00:25:42,683 --> 00:25:44,480
How did you hook up
with Dr. Heinz?
594
00:25:44,551 --> 00:25:46,314
Mr. Amsterdam swears by him.
595
00:25:46,386 --> 00:25:47,683
Who's Mr. Amsterdam?
596
00:25:47,755 --> 00:25:49,848
He lives permanent in 4914.
597
00:25:49,923 --> 00:25:50,923
Thank you.
598
00:25:52,659 --> 00:25:55,059
Do you know how painful real
depression is, Miss?
599
00:25:55,796 --> 00:25:56,795
It's unbearable.
600
00:25:57,797 --> 00:25:59,355
You're afraid to go
to sleep at night
601
00:25:59,432 --> 00:26:02,526
because you're afraid you'll
actually get up the next morning.
602
00:26:02,635 --> 00:26:03,659
Then what?
603
00:26:03,736 --> 00:26:05,226
Then you spend
the rest of the day
604
00:26:05,371 --> 00:26:08,272
getting ready to start the whole
damn thing all over again.
605
00:26:08,674 --> 00:26:10,801
I didn't know Dr. Heinz
was a psychiatrist.
606
00:26:10,910 --> 00:26:11,910
He's a healer.
607
00:26:12,545 --> 00:26:16,675
A specialty, it seems, they've stopped
teaching at most medical schools.
608
00:26:17,984 --> 00:26:21,578
Sure, I saw a shrink.
Dr. Howard Alston.
609
00:26:21,653 --> 00:26:24,554
The Pied Piper of
Park Avenue Pill Poppers.
610
00:26:24,689 --> 00:26:29,524
Zoloft, Paxil, Lexapro.
I've popped them all.
611
00:26:30,095 --> 00:26:31,426
And Dr. Heinz?
612
00:26:31,563 --> 00:26:34,293
Got me off the couch
after two visits.
613
00:26:34,666 --> 00:26:36,133
He had a magic potion did he?
614
00:26:36,201 --> 00:26:37,725
Yes, he did.
615
00:26:37,803 --> 00:26:39,464
And that's all I'll tell you.
616
00:26:39,738 --> 00:26:41,296
If he's doing
something illegal...
617
00:26:41,373 --> 00:26:44,466
Then there's
something wrong with the law.
618
00:26:46,544 --> 00:26:47,806
Good day.
619
00:26:51,549 --> 00:26:53,710
Do you know why Randall
Amsterdam lives in a hotel?
620
00:26:53,784 --> 00:26:54,784
Is it relevant?
621
00:26:54,852 --> 00:26:57,548
Because last year I suggested
he get away for the weekend.
622
00:26:58,489 --> 00:27:00,081
His apartment is
across the street.
623
00:27:00,825 --> 00:27:01,825
That's kind of funny.
624
00:27:02,326 --> 00:27:03,588
It would have been,
625
00:27:03,694 --> 00:27:05,992
if he didn't have a panic
attack and was too embarrassed
626
00:27:06,063 --> 00:27:08,826
to call me because he swore
he was going to Palm Springs.
627
00:27:09,032 --> 00:27:10,863
So he opened the Yellow Pages...
628
00:27:10,934 --> 00:27:12,333
And he found Dr. Heinz?
629
00:27:12,468 --> 00:27:14,698
Who quickly convinced
him I was a quack.
630
00:27:14,871 --> 00:27:18,363
Mr. Amsterdam told me that you prescribed
him an assortment of medications.
631
00:27:18,441 --> 00:27:20,500
That's right.
Antidepressants.
632
00:27:21,044 --> 00:27:22,705
None of which
are physically addictive.
633
00:27:23,012 --> 00:27:25,276
Are you saying that
Dr. Heinz got him hooked?
634
00:27:25,448 --> 00:27:26,779
Deverol is an opiate.
635
00:27:26,883 --> 00:27:29,147
Sure a shot makes
a patient feel great.
636
00:27:29,219 --> 00:27:31,083
The second shot
makes him feel even better.
637
00:27:31,787 --> 00:27:33,414
Eventually,
he can't live without it.
638
00:27:33,689 --> 00:27:35,247
Why didn't you report him?
639
00:27:35,557 --> 00:27:36,785
To whom?
For what?
640
00:27:36,859 --> 00:27:39,794
He's a doctor. He's not
selling crack cocaine.
641
00:27:40,762 --> 00:27:44,425
You'd think Mr. Amsterdam's insurance
company would become suspicious.
642
00:27:44,499 --> 00:27:45,864
Randall's from money.
643
00:27:46,068 --> 00:27:47,628
He doesn't bother
with health insurance.
644
00:27:48,103 --> 00:27:49,103
The perfect patient.
645
00:27:49,571 --> 00:27:51,038
You have no idea how perfect.
646
00:27:52,107 --> 00:27:54,131
Randall had this
fabulous collection
647
00:27:54,709 --> 00:27:56,700
of primitive
African woodcarvings.
648
00:27:57,011 --> 00:27:59,002
It was his pride and joy.
649
00:27:59,213 --> 00:28:01,340
I was at an auction,
maybe a year ago
650
00:28:02,283 --> 00:28:04,183
and there were
his two best items.
651
00:28:04,285 --> 00:28:07,516
Minimum bid:
$100,000 each.
652
00:28:08,189 --> 00:28:10,419
But the listed seller was
Dr. Ellis Heinz.
653
00:28:11,225 --> 00:28:14,922
I was still treating Randall at the
time, so I asked him what happened.
654
00:28:15,596 --> 00:28:18,496
He said he gave Heinz
a gift for helping him.
655
00:28:20,634 --> 00:28:21,828
He's a predator, Jack.
656
00:28:21,902 --> 00:28:24,632
He targets wealthy, weak,
desperate people.
657
00:28:24,738 --> 00:28:27,104
Nobody complains because
they're dependent on him.
658
00:28:27,574 --> 00:28:30,441
What's this got to do
with Nadia Parkova?
659
00:28:31,344 --> 00:28:34,064
I don't know. But Arthur told me to
find something to charge him with.
660
00:28:34,514 --> 00:28:36,141
The shrink told me that
in the past year
661
00:28:36,216 --> 00:28:39,083
Randall Amsterdam paid over
$250,000 to Dr. Heinz
662
00:28:39,152 --> 00:28:42,518
and that doesn't include gifts of
artwork and God knows what else.
663
00:28:42,888 --> 00:28:45,356
That proves he's expensive,
Serena. Not criminal.
664
00:28:45,424 --> 00:28:47,449
Maybe you're being
too literal here.
665
00:28:47,927 --> 00:28:51,124
Do you have any evidence that
Heinz knowingly or recklessly
666
00:28:51,563 --> 00:28:55,124
gave Nadia a lethal
combination of drugs? No.
667
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,692
Then literal keeps us away from
a malicious prosecution suit.
668
00:28:58,837 --> 00:29:02,637
We have a colorable claim for fraud, Jack.
Or larceny. Or both.
669
00:29:02,808 --> 00:29:03,807
Do we?
670
00:29:03,875 --> 00:29:06,935
Dr. Heinz used drugs to make
his patients dependent on him.
671
00:29:07,045 --> 00:29:09,013
The drugs impaired
their judgment and then
672
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,479
he conned them out of money.
673
00:29:10,548 --> 00:29:12,243
You have one patient, Serena,
674
00:29:12,417 --> 00:29:15,045
and from what you've told me, it
doesn't sound like Mr. Amsterdam
675
00:29:15,153 --> 00:29:16,713
is gonna be
all that anxious to help us.
676
00:29:16,788 --> 00:29:17,914
If we charge him
677
00:29:17,989 --> 00:29:20,184
and we make a big enough
splash when we do,
678
00:29:20,491 --> 00:29:23,221
who knows what disgruntled patients
will come out of the woodwork.
679
00:29:23,594 --> 00:29:24,686
I mean, we want him
off the street
680
00:29:24,762 --> 00:29:27,321
before there's another
Nadia Parkova, don't we?
681
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,124
Call Van Buren.
682
00:29:33,170 --> 00:29:35,536
I'll call Jim Switzer
of the Daily News.
683
00:29:39,876 --> 00:29:41,707
Dr. Heinz?
Anita?
684
00:29:41,812 --> 00:29:44,280
Yes. Thank you so much
for meeting with me.
685
00:29:44,448 --> 00:29:45,710
Well, it's my pleasure...
Hey, gee, Doc,
686
00:29:45,782 --> 00:29:47,875
I get this funny feeling
I've been here before.
687
00:29:48,051 --> 00:29:49,484
Oh, that's right, I have.
688
00:29:49,553 --> 00:29:51,986
Ellis Heinz, you're under
arrest for fraud and robbery.
689
00:29:52,121 --> 00:29:53,110
You have
the right to remain silent.
690
00:29:53,389 --> 00:29:55,914
Anything you say can be used
against you in a court of law...
691
00:29:59,261 --> 00:30:01,923
"Docket Number 365743
692
00:30:02,031 --> 00:30:06,400

Theft by Larceny in the First Degree
693
00:30:06,469 --> 00:30:08,801
"and Theft by Fraud
in the First Degree."
694
00:30:08,871 --> 00:30:10,736
Marion Seaver for the
defense, Your Honor.
695
00:30:10,806 --> 00:30:12,501
The pleasure's mine, Counselor.
696
00:30:12,575 --> 00:30:13,615
How does your client plead?
697
00:30:13,641 --> 00:30:14,699
Outraged.
698
00:30:14,776 --> 00:30:17,677
The State has some sort of perverse
vendetta against my client.
699
00:30:17,746 --> 00:30:19,543
First it attempted
to ruin his reputation
700
00:30:19,681 --> 00:30:21,478
by accusing
him of homicide and now this.
701
00:30:21,750 --> 00:30:23,718
Can I take that as a not guilty?
702
00:30:23,818 --> 00:30:24,910
Yes, Your Honor.
703
00:30:24,986 --> 00:30:27,706
I'd like to hear it from the defendant
if that's not too much trouble.
704
00:30:28,289 --> 00:30:29,415
Not guilty, Your Honor.
705
00:30:29,924 --> 00:30:30,948
Ms. Southerlyn?
706
00:30:31,026 --> 00:30:33,654
The People request
$250,000 bail.
707
00:30:33,762 --> 00:30:35,161
That is the vendetta
I'm talking about.
708
00:30:35,230 --> 00:30:37,527
My client is
a well-respected physician.
709
00:30:37,598 --> 00:30:39,998
Then he'll have no trouble
coming up with the dough.
710
00:30:40,267 --> 00:30:42,633
Bail is set at $150,000.
711
00:30:42,903 --> 00:30:44,393
Next.
(BANGS GAVEL)
712
00:30:44,905 --> 00:30:47,703
I understand "try try again,"
but your third "try"
713
00:30:47,775 --> 00:30:50,608
will end with you sitting on the other
side of the aisle in civil court.
714
00:30:50,811 --> 00:30:53,871
We're a bit past the time for
empty threats, Mr. Seaver.
715
00:30:53,947 --> 00:30:54,947
Only this isn't empty.
716
00:30:55,416 --> 00:30:58,510
You charged a man with two felonies
and have exactly zero evidence.
717
00:30:58,752 --> 00:31:00,810
Call me crazy,
but if I paid a doctor
718
00:31:00,887 --> 00:31:02,878
over $200,000 in twelve months,
719
00:31:02,955 --> 00:31:05,287
I'd expect
two new kidneys, minimum.
720
00:31:06,225 --> 00:31:08,216
That's so not funny,
it's insulting.
721
00:31:08,661 --> 00:31:11,255
We both know this has nothing
to do with Randall Amsterdam.
722
00:31:11,497 --> 00:31:13,590
With your client, I'll take
whatever I can get.
723
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,098
I am shocked that Nadia
Parkova is dead.
724
00:31:16,302 --> 00:31:17,302
It breaks my heart.
725
00:31:17,703 --> 00:31:19,637
But I had nothing to do with it.
726
00:31:19,772 --> 00:31:22,707
Just because we can't prove that you're
guilty doesn't make you innocent.
727
00:31:23,443 --> 00:31:25,637
What bothers you
so much about me?
728
00:31:25,877 --> 00:31:29,574
That I don't have an office with
pretty nurses and a waiting room.
729
00:31:29,915 --> 00:31:32,645
That I don't look like one of those
compassionate, sweet doctors
730
00:31:32,784 --> 00:31:34,274
you see on television.
731
00:31:34,352 --> 00:31:36,946
Maybe I don't fit
into the nice little box
732
00:31:37,055 --> 00:31:41,219
that the Medical Association likes to
paint and sell to the American public.
733
00:31:41,526 --> 00:31:43,426
But let me tell you one thing,
734
00:31:43,728 --> 00:31:47,356
patients are running as fast
as they can from that box
735
00:31:47,431 --> 00:31:49,626
and they
are running straight to me.
736
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:50,926
Because you dope them up.
737
00:31:51,001 --> 00:31:53,561
Because I ease their pain.
738
00:31:54,305 --> 00:31:57,638
That is the oath
that I swore to uphold.
739
00:31:57,942 --> 00:31:59,603
Yes, this has all been fun,
740
00:31:59,844 --> 00:32:02,244
but I think we've wasted enough
of the doctor's valuable time.
741
00:32:02,580 --> 00:32:06,414
My motion to exclude everything Mr.
Amsterdam's former psychiatrist told you.
742
00:32:06,817 --> 00:32:09,547
Turns out that pillar
of the medical community
743
00:32:09,620 --> 00:32:11,678
breached about 12 rules
of medical ethics
744
00:32:11,888 --> 00:32:13,480
when he talked
to Miss Southerlyn.
745
00:32:17,894 --> 00:32:20,692
The bottom line, Your Honor, before the
prosecution spoke with Dr. Alston...
746
00:32:20,763 --> 00:32:22,594
Remind me again
which one that is.
747
00:32:22,665 --> 00:32:24,098
Certainly.
He's a psychiatrist.
748
00:32:24,167 --> 00:32:26,328
He treated my client's
patient, Randall Amsterdam,
749
00:32:26,402 --> 00:32:27,426
for 15 years.
750
00:32:27,670 --> 00:32:29,968
I guess time doesn't heal
all wounds.
751
00:32:30,039 --> 00:32:31,063
Well, that's for later
discussion.
752
00:32:31,141 --> 00:32:32,802
But getting back to my point,
753
00:32:32,976 --> 00:32:34,943
before Miss Southerlyn
spoke with Dr. Alston
754
00:32:35,010 --> 00:32:37,877
the State didn't have enough evidence
to charge Dr. Heinz with littering.
755
00:32:37,946 --> 00:32:39,641
I believe that's the point
of an investigation.
756
00:32:39,715 --> 00:32:42,183
An investigation which trampled
doctor-patient privilege.
757
00:32:42,251 --> 00:32:45,687
And your client is neither the
doctor nor the patient in question.
758
00:32:45,754 --> 00:32:48,746
It's well-settled that the privilege
does not extend to third parties.
759
00:32:48,824 --> 00:32:51,224
The purpose of privilege is to
encourage free communication
760
00:32:51,293 --> 00:32:53,386
between doctor and patient.
761
00:32:53,462 --> 00:32:55,794
Public policy therefore demands
that such communication
762
00:32:55,864 --> 00:32:58,127
not be violated by
over-zealous prosecutors.
763
00:32:58,366 --> 00:33:02,063
You should have warned me, Mr. Seaver.
I would have brought my violins.
764
00:33:02,136 --> 00:33:03,797
It's a question of
standing, Your Honor.
765
00:33:03,871 --> 00:33:04,911
It's a question of ethics.
766
00:33:05,006 --> 00:33:06,268
JUDGE: You're both wrong.
767
00:33:06,340 --> 00:33:07,739
It's a question of hearsay.
768
00:33:08,709 --> 00:33:11,644
This Dr. Alston can't get
on a stand in my courtroom
769
00:33:11,746 --> 00:33:15,443
and testify to what a third person
told him about the defendant.
770
00:33:15,650 --> 00:33:19,051
Now would the two of you cut the bull and
tell me what's really going on here?
771
00:33:19,187 --> 00:33:21,706
The defendant recklessly caused
the death of one of his patients.
772
00:33:21,755 --> 00:33:24,349
Which Mr. McCoy can't prove so
he went back to his laboratory
773
00:33:24,424 --> 00:33:26,221
and concocted
these bogus charges.
774
00:33:26,493 --> 00:33:28,984
Just as long as we're all
clear on what's going down.
775
00:33:30,463 --> 00:33:32,090
The shrink's testimony is out.
776
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:36,699
Any public outcry at the news of Dr.
Heinz's misfortunes?
777
00:33:36,770 --> 00:33:38,032
Not the kind that we wanted.
778
00:33:38,104 --> 00:33:41,403
Twelve calls all claiming he's
the best doctor they ever saw.
779
00:33:42,175 --> 00:33:45,143
I'm sorry, Jack. I dug the
hole and pushed you in.
780
00:33:45,244 --> 00:33:47,144
Yesterday, I would have
been angry.
781
00:33:47,313 --> 00:33:49,747
And today?
I met the good Dr. Heinz.
782
00:33:50,149 --> 00:33:52,947
I know coyotes who don't
cover their tracks as well.
783
00:33:53,385 --> 00:33:56,821
You know what we need is a patient
who no longer has any use for him.
784
00:33:57,289 --> 00:33:59,621
Or the family of such a patient.
785
00:34:01,026 --> 00:34:03,256
He is not crook.
I told you before.
786
00:34:03,462 --> 00:34:05,157
We never spoke
about money, Lena.

No.
She paid him in cash?

He not want money.
792
00:34:16,374 --> 00:34:18,171
He treated your sister for free?
793
00:34:18,376 --> 00:34:19,775
He know we are not rich.
794
00:34:19,877 --> 00:34:21,105
He say wait to pay.

00:34:21,346 --> 00:34:22,574

Did Dr. Heinz ever give
Nadia any kind of bill?

00:34:32,990 --> 00:34:34,890
Bill? Money?

00:34:40,364 --> 00:34:42,628
Make lots of money.
More than Nadia.
804
00:34:42,699 --> 00:34:45,361
Because I want to work.
Pay him then.

Here, bill.
807
00:34:50,307 --> 00:34:53,003
JACK: Dr. Heinz gave you this? No.
That's, that's not a bill.
808
00:34:57,713 --> 00:34:59,977
This says Nadia
shouldn't self-inject Deverol
809
00:35:00,049 --> 00:35:02,415
within twenty-four hours
of taking Bronchitrol.
810
00:35:02,885 --> 00:35:05,752
That's the asthma medication
that Dr. Abrams prescribed.
811
00:35:05,821 --> 00:35:07,015
Lena lied to me.
812
00:35:07,723 --> 00:35:10,658
Dr. Heinz said he didn't know
anything about the asthma medication.
813
00:35:10,726 --> 00:35:13,388
Re-indict him for depraved
indifference homicide.
814
00:35:20,001 --> 00:35:22,094
ABRAMS: I'd been treating
Nadia for almost two years.
815
00:35:22,170 --> 00:35:23,797
She suffered
adult-onset asthma.
816
00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:27,497
And what course of treatment did
you prescribe for her, Dr. Abrams?
817
00:35:27,876 --> 00:35:30,174
Initially, I gave her
breathing exercises
818
00:35:30,245 --> 00:35:32,475
and then I prescribed a
series of antihistamines.
819
00:35:32,580 --> 00:35:34,104
And they weren't successful?
820
00:35:34,182 --> 00:35:37,083
Well, at first they were. But
Nadia's symptoms grew worse.
821
00:35:37,185 --> 00:35:39,153
She had several
incapacitating attacks.
822
00:35:39,220 --> 00:35:42,848
She couldn't breathe. She couldn't move.
She couldn't function.
823
00:35:43,057 --> 00:35:44,649
That's when I prescribed
Bronchitrol
824
00:35:44,725 --> 00:35:47,159
that's an albuterol
sulfate bronchodilator.
825
00:35:47,494 --> 00:35:50,486
She was supposed to inhale it only
when she felt an onset of an attack.
826
00:35:50,864 --> 00:35:53,389
Does that affect a
patient's heart, Doctor?
827
00:35:54,134 --> 00:35:56,295
Simply, yes.
828
00:35:56,570 --> 00:36:00,438
It's a stimulant. It can dramatically
increase cardiovascular activity.
829
00:36:00,741 --> 00:36:02,072
Is that dangerous?
830
00:36:02,142 --> 00:36:04,440
Not in someone young
and vital like Nadia.
831
00:36:04,610 --> 00:36:09,206
What if she were also taking
an opiate such as Deverol?
832
00:36:09,282 --> 00:36:10,715
It typically takes the heart
24 hours to recover
833
00:36:10,783 --> 00:36:14,184
from the stimulation
caused by Bronchitrol.
834
00:36:14,253 --> 00:36:15,880
If she waited the 24 hours,
835
00:36:15,955 --> 00:36:17,635
there's a good chance
nothing would happen.
836
00:36:17,757 --> 00:36:19,247
And if she didn't?
837
00:36:19,359 --> 00:36:21,725
There's a good chance
it would cause cardiac arrest.
838
00:36:21,961 --> 00:36:25,419
So, in your opinion, it would
be sound medical practice
839
00:36:25,631 --> 00:36:29,498
to tell a patient to wait 24
hours before taking Deverol?
840
00:36:29,768 --> 00:36:32,566
The body is not a Swiss
timepiece, Mr. McCoy.

00:36:32,637 --> 00:36:34,161

differently.

00:36:36,241 --> 00:36:38,505
I wouldn't let a patient
take Deverol at all.
844
00:36:38,910 --> 00:36:40,878
If it were absolutely necessary,
845
00:36:40,979 --> 00:36:44,540
I would insist that he or she
wait a minimum of 48 hours.
846
00:36:44,850 --> 00:36:46,750
So a physician
847
00:36:47,152 --> 00:36:50,644
who told a patient
to wait only 24 hours...
848
00:36:50,722 --> 00:36:53,519
Is gambling
with that patient's life.
849
00:36:56,193 --> 00:36:59,594
The Physicians' Desk Reference
says all this, does it?
850
00:36:59,697 --> 00:37:02,598
It says a 24-hour separation
is the bare minimum.
851
00:37:02,833 --> 00:37:03,993
Not 48?
852
00:37:04,068 --> 00:37:06,764
The PDR is a guide
for physicians.
853
00:37:07,004 --> 00:37:08,494
It's to be interpreted
not by laymen,
854
00:37:08,572 --> 00:37:12,167
but by professionals who have a
thorough understanding of pharmacology
855
00:37:12,243 --> 00:37:13,243
and biochemistry.
856
00:37:13,611 --> 00:37:17,376
You mean to doctors
24 really means 48?
857
00:37:17,781 --> 00:37:20,141
Call me crazy, but I don't think
that's what it means at all.
858
00:37:20,417 --> 00:37:22,578
And what medical school
did you go to?
859
00:37:23,353 --> 00:37:24,353
Harvard.
860
00:37:25,989 --> 00:37:27,513
But I'm asking the questions.
861
00:37:28,057 --> 00:37:29,057
True or false, Doctor.
862
00:37:29,959 --> 00:37:32,189
Did you recommend that
Nadia see a psychiatrist?
863
00:37:32,262 --> 00:37:33,752
Yes.
Why's that?
864
00:37:33,830 --> 00:37:37,163
She was self-destructive. She had
more than a few serious accidents.
865
00:37:37,534 --> 00:37:39,467
She tried to hurt herself?
866
00:37:39,668 --> 00:37:42,068
I thought that was
a possibility.
867
00:37:42,337 --> 00:37:44,430
She was overwhelmed
by responsibility.
868
00:37:45,641 --> 00:37:47,541
She didn't like
herself very much.
869
00:37:48,076 --> 00:37:52,445
And perhaps she tried to run away
from her miserable life for good.
870
00:37:52,514 --> 00:37:54,311
JACK: Objection.
871
00:38:03,458 --> 00:38:05,926
Nadia spoke very little English.
872
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,794
She didn't have a chance
to go to school like you?
873
00:38:08,963 --> 00:38:10,954
Yes. She had to work.
874
00:38:11,332 --> 00:38:13,823
She make money
to take care of us.
875
00:38:14,268 --> 00:38:16,793
And you helped her
communicate when necessary?
876
00:38:17,004 --> 00:38:18,062
Yes.
877
00:38:18,139 --> 00:38:21,302
JACK: So you were with her
when she met with Dr. Heinz?
878
00:38:21,375 --> 00:38:22,375
Yes.
879
00:38:22,743 --> 00:38:24,711
Why did Nadia
go to see him, Lena?
880
00:38:24,879 --> 00:38:26,470
She had terrible headache.
881
00:38:26,613 --> 00:38:28,547
Couldn't work. Make her cry.
882
00:38:28,615 --> 00:38:30,515
And he gave her an injection?
883
00:38:31,418 --> 00:38:32,418
Yes.
884
00:38:32,486 --> 00:38:34,977
Did he ask her if she was
taking other medicine?
885
00:38:35,522 --> 00:38:37,490
Yes. She fill out form.
886
00:38:38,058 --> 00:38:39,338
Approach the witness,
Your Honor?
887
00:38:39,593 --> 00:38:40,593
Go ahead.
888
00:38:45,198 --> 00:38:46,198
Is this the form?
889
00:38:47,467 --> 00:38:48,466
Yes.
890
00:38:48,534 --> 00:38:50,729
What does it say under
"Other Medications?"
891
00:38:52,238 --> 00:38:53,238
None.
892
00:38:53,572 --> 00:38:55,540
So Nadia lied to him?
893
00:38:56,842 --> 00:38:58,935
No. We didn't understand.
894
00:38:59,078 --> 00:39:01,478
That day she didn't take
other medication.
895
00:39:02,615 --> 00:39:04,810
Is that really
what happened, Lena?
896
00:39:12,056 --> 00:39:13,056
No.
897
00:39:13,758 --> 00:39:16,659
Nadia thought that he wouldn't
help her get rid of headache
898
00:39:16,728 --> 00:39:19,322
if he knew about other medicine.
899
00:39:20,665 --> 00:39:23,395
Did there ever come a time
when Dr. Heinz learned
900
00:39:23,535 --> 00:39:26,333
that Nadia was taking
asthma medicine?
901
00:39:26,804 --> 00:39:27,804
Yes.
902
00:39:28,039 --> 00:39:30,007
The second time we saw him.
903
00:39:30,141 --> 00:39:32,234
He came to house
to cut off mole.
904
00:39:32,443 --> 00:39:34,707
He make Nadia more beautiful.
905
00:39:35,146 --> 00:39:37,613
Mama show him
Nadia's other medicine.
906
00:39:38,448 --> 00:39:39,488
JACK: And what did he say?
907
00:39:39,683 --> 00:39:41,014
I wasn't there.
908
00:39:41,084 --> 00:39:42,312
I was in school.
909
00:39:42,486 --> 00:39:46,149
But he wrote instructions
for me to read to Nadia.
910
00:39:46,623 --> 00:39:49,319
Why didn't you tell the police
right away that Dr. Heinz
911
00:39:49,426 --> 00:39:52,122
knew about Nadia's
asthma medicine?
912
00:39:54,064 --> 00:39:56,464
I didn't want trouble for him.
913
00:39:56,633 --> 00:40:01,194
He said someday he would give me
beautiful lips to be famous model.
914
00:40:07,510 --> 00:40:09,171
Are these the instructions
915
00:40:09,278 --> 00:40:11,769
Dr. Heinz left you
to read to Nadia?
916
00:40:15,451 --> 00:40:16,451
Yes.
917
00:40:17,787 --> 00:40:20,017
Please read them to the court.
918
00:40:22,958 --> 00:40:25,859
"Do not take injection
of Deverol
919
00:40:26,027 --> 00:40:30,123
"within two-to-four hours
of Bronchitrol."
920
00:40:30,632 --> 00:40:32,600
That isn't what it says,
is it, Lena?
921
00:40:33,802 --> 00:40:34,802
Yes.
922
00:40:35,003 --> 00:40:36,664
It says 24 hours, doesn't it?
923
00:40:36,738 --> 00:40:38,103
Who's testifying, Your Honor?
924
00:40:38,173 --> 00:40:39,697
JUDGE: Take your time,
young lady.
925
00:40:41,109 --> 00:40:47,206
Did you tell your sister
24 hours or two-to-four hours?
926
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:52,719
I...
927
00:40:57,358 --> 00:40:59,189
I don't know...
928
00:41:00,794 --> 00:41:02,659
(SOBBING) I don't know
what I tell her...
929
00:41:05,933 --> 00:41:10,369
I'm not sure.
I'm sorry, I don't know.
930
00:41:16,442 --> 00:41:18,034
I don't know.
931
00:41:32,858 --> 00:41:34,951
Have you reached a verdict?
932
00:41:35,093 --> 00:41:36,093
We have, Your Honor.
933
00:41:36,294 --> 00:41:38,387
JUDGE: On the sole count
of the indictment,
934
00:41:38,463 --> 00:41:41,023
Second degree murder,
how do you find?
935
00:41:41,299 --> 00:41:45,258
We find the defendant,
Ellis Heinz, not guilty.
936
00:41:58,516 --> 00:42:01,747
It looked like a crime. It smelled
like a crime. It felt like a crime...
937
00:42:01,852 --> 00:42:03,752
Oh, what Heinz did
is a crime all right.
938
00:42:03,954 --> 00:42:06,479
The only problem is Albany
hasn't realized it yet.
939
00:42:06,791 --> 00:42:09,316
He was peddling hope and there's
nothing more addictive.
940
00:42:09,860 --> 00:42:13,091
The good news, Lena will now be
able to get her "beautiful lips."
941
00:42:14,031 --> 00:42:15,896
Ain't America great.
