1
00:00:01,431 --> 00:00:03,262
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:03,333 --> 00:00:07,167
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:07,237 --> 00:00:09,034
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:09,105 --> 00:00:11,903
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,975 --> 00:00:13,704
These are their stories.
6
00:00:14,077 --> 00:00:16,204
Superglue. I catch
the punk that did this,
7
00:00:16,279 --> 00:00:17,906
I'm gonna glue my
hand to his face.
8
00:00:17,981 --> 00:00:19,845
Ah, don't assume it was kids.
9
00:00:19,915 --> 00:00:22,712
Divorce, the locksmith's
best friend.
10
00:00:22,783 --> 00:00:25,752
He changes the locks,
she glues them shut.
11
00:00:25,820 --> 00:00:27,378
Mr. Franklin
is a widower.
12
00:00:27,455 --> 00:00:31,050
And I promised I would
fix his AC today.
13
00:00:31,325 --> 00:00:32,917
I'm almost done.
14
00:00:42,837 --> 00:00:44,668
Now what?
15
00:00:48,042 --> 00:00:50,772
Must be the fuse.
Here.
16
00:00:50,845 --> 00:00:53,746
You smell something?
What's that smell?
17
00:00:56,182 --> 00:00:57,649
Look at this.
18
00:00:57,717 --> 00:01:00,277
What is that, blood?
19
00:01:07,326 --> 00:01:09,089
Mr. Franklin?
20
00:01:13,699 --> 00:01:15,223
Mr. Franklin?
21
00:01:17,102 --> 00:01:20,401
Mr. Franklin, are you all right?
It's me, Mr. Couri.
22
00:01:23,776 --> 00:01:25,403
Mother of God...
23
00:01:25,711 --> 00:01:27,269
What the hell hit him,
a howitzer?
24
00:01:27,346 --> 00:01:30,907
Whatever it was, they got it down the alley.
The window here was jimmied.
25
00:01:31,583 --> 00:01:33,516
Well, how long's Mr.
Franklin been like this?
26
00:01:33,584 --> 00:01:36,519
Body's in full rigor.
Say, since about 4:00 this morning.
27
00:01:36,587 --> 00:01:39,078
We're ready to move him.
Okay.
28
00:01:42,493 --> 00:01:44,256
Next of kin's been notified.
29
00:01:44,329 --> 00:01:46,626
There's a message on his
machine from his job.
30
00:01:46,697 --> 00:01:49,393
DeLuca Janitorial.
He was due there two hours ago.
31
00:01:49,466 --> 00:01:51,525
The one day he would've been
happy to show up at work.
32
00:01:51,601 --> 00:01:54,468
Well, somebody went to a lot of
trouble to give him the day off.
33
00:01:54,571 --> 00:01:56,937
The shooter pulled the fuse.
34
00:01:57,007 --> 00:01:59,635
Franklin comes in,
tries the light.
35
00:01:59,710 --> 00:02:01,473
Sets his groceries
down. Boom.
36
00:02:01,545 --> 00:02:03,342
First shot catches
him in the arm.
37
00:02:03,413 --> 00:02:05,313
Second shot, he goes down here.
38
00:02:06,049 --> 00:02:08,540
He gets up, heads toward the bedroom.
39
00:02:08,618 --> 00:02:12,917
Third shot puts him down in the doorway.
He crawls into the room.
40
00:02:12,988 --> 00:02:14,455
End of story.
41
00:02:14,523 --> 00:02:15,717
Well, even at 4:00 in the morning,
42
00:02:15,791 --> 00:02:17,588
somebody must've
heard something.
43
00:02:17,660 --> 00:02:20,959
Goose down. The shooter muffled
the shots with a pillow.
44
00:02:21,030 --> 00:02:23,965
A very small pillow.
Where's the rest of the bird?
45
00:02:24,033 --> 00:02:27,433
Well, you see here how the blood
spatter goes off at right angles?
46
00:02:27,736 --> 00:02:29,499
The shooter used a drop cloth.
47
00:02:29,571 --> 00:02:33,701
CSU found a piece of plastic
sheeting snagged on a floor nail.
48
00:02:33,775 --> 00:02:35,766
Okay, so he rolls up the mess,
49
00:02:35,844 --> 00:02:39,336
superglues the door lock to give
himself a little lead time,
50
00:02:39,414 --> 00:02:41,814
And he's back
out the window. Very neat.
51
00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:44,277
A shooter Martha
Stewart would've loved.
52
00:03:32,798 --> 00:03:35,494
The neighbors heard Mrs.
Molinari and her new beau
53
00:03:35,567 --> 00:03:37,797
going for a world record
at 3:00 in the morning,
54
00:03:37,869 --> 00:03:40,030
but nobody heard the
cannon fire an hour later.
55
00:03:40,105 --> 00:03:42,300
Did any of them say why Mr.
Franklin was killed?
56
00:03:42,374 --> 00:03:43,966
Seven years in
the same building.
57
00:03:44,042 --> 00:03:45,737
A friend to orphans
and small animals.
58
00:03:45,811 --> 00:03:46,835
Not an enemy in the world.
59
00:03:46,912 --> 00:03:49,039
Well, did the friend
that shot him leave prints?
60
00:03:49,114 --> 00:03:51,240
Nope. No fingerprints,
no footprints.
61
00:03:51,315 --> 00:03:54,011
We're thinking of putting out a
sketch of Casper, the Friendly Ghost.
62
00:03:54,084 --> 00:03:56,780
Well, have Profaci pull Mr.
Franklin's financials.
63
00:03:56,854 --> 00:03:58,515
Maybe he had some IOUs.
64
00:03:58,589 --> 00:03:59,749
They had to be big ones.
65
00:03:59,824 --> 00:04:02,587
No one puts this much effort
into collecting a $100 marker.
66
00:04:02,659 --> 00:04:05,560
Hey, Franklin swung a mop
for 10 bucks an hour.
67
00:04:05,628 --> 00:04:07,960
No bookie's gonna front
him any serious money.
68
00:04:08,031 --> 00:04:09,726
You got a better motive?
69
00:04:09,799 --> 00:04:11,994
The 1001 nights of a janitor?
70
00:04:12,335 --> 00:04:16,237
Well, talk to his daughter.
See who he was spending them with.
71
00:04:16,573 --> 00:04:19,804
Did he keep any cash
or jewelry here? No.
72
00:04:20,376 --> 00:04:23,470
Dad deposited his
paycheck every Friday.
73
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,610
And he gave me
mom's pearl necklace
74
00:04:26,683 --> 00:04:29,379
and her engagement
ring after she died.
75
00:04:29,953 --> 00:04:31,419
That was eight years ago.
76
00:04:31,487 --> 00:04:34,388
Do you know...
Was he seeing anybody recently?
77
00:04:35,023 --> 00:04:36,650
I don't think so.
78
00:04:37,493 --> 00:04:40,655
There were people
he felt comfortable around.
79
00:04:40,728 --> 00:04:43,094
Do you know if he was
having any money problems?
80
00:04:43,164 --> 00:04:45,655
No. He wouldn't
talk to me about that.
81
00:04:46,133 --> 00:04:49,159
Did you notice any change
in his spending habits?
82
00:04:49,237 --> 00:04:51,262
Well, for the past
couple of weeks,
83
00:04:51,339 --> 00:04:54,069
he did give me some extra money
to help out with school.
84
00:04:54,141 --> 00:04:55,472
How much extra?
85
00:04:55,543 --> 00:04:57,067
$500.
86
00:04:57,144 --> 00:04:58,441
Where was this
money coming from?
87
00:04:58,513 --> 00:05:02,745
He changed jobs last month.
He said he got a raise.
88
00:05:06,020 --> 00:05:08,750
Franklin put in nine years
at Hudson University.
89
00:05:08,823 --> 00:05:10,984
He took a 5% pay cut
to come work for me.
90
00:05:11,058 --> 00:05:12,719
What, do you have
better company picnics?
91
00:05:12,793 --> 00:05:15,226
They had him cleaning the labs
in the medical department
92
00:05:15,295 --> 00:05:17,489
where they keep
rats for experiments.
93
00:05:17,563 --> 00:05:19,394
He said he was
sick of the smell.
94
00:05:19,465 --> 00:05:22,730
His daughter said that he picked
up some extra money at work.
95
00:05:22,801 --> 00:05:25,599
Well, maybe he found some loose
change under the seat cushions.
96
00:05:25,671 --> 00:05:28,731
He told her he got a raise.
Now, why would he lie?
97
00:05:28,807 --> 00:05:30,536
Any of your customers
ever complain about
98
00:05:30,609 --> 00:05:33,237
missing typewriters
or computers?
99
00:05:33,312 --> 00:05:34,802
Absolutely not.
100
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,814
So you don't mind
if we call them then?
101
00:05:36,882 --> 00:05:39,783
They'll be thrilled you're being
investigated for thievery.
102
00:05:40,319 --> 00:05:43,447
Come on, guys,
nobody was getting hurt.
103
00:05:43,522 --> 00:05:45,752
Let us be the judge of that, huh?
104
00:05:45,991 --> 00:05:47,982
Franklin cleaned
a building on Madison
105
00:05:48,060 --> 00:05:50,255
with a dental practice
on the 11th floor.
106
00:05:50,329 --> 00:05:52,422
Two dentists, brothers,
with bad hair plugs.
107
00:05:52,498 --> 00:05:55,988
Well, after hours, they're movie
producers with bad hair plugs.
108
00:05:56,066 --> 00:05:57,727
Spell it out,
Mr. DeLuca.
109
00:05:57,801 --> 00:06:00,770
Amateur videos. They got racks
of them in the adult stores.
110
00:06:00,837 --> 00:06:03,931
And these dentists were making these
movies right in the examination rooms?
111
00:06:04,007 --> 00:06:05,372
Yeah. Franklin said
they had women
112
00:06:05,442 --> 00:06:07,069
in and out of
there all night long.
113
00:06:07,144 --> 00:06:09,009
Regular-looking women.
114
00:06:09,146 --> 00:06:10,477
Maybe they were patients.
115
00:06:10,547 --> 00:06:12,947
And Franklin was being paid
to look the other way?
116
00:06:13,016 --> 00:06:14,381
300 a week.
117
00:06:15,218 --> 00:06:18,813
I found one slug fragment
big enough to type as a.32.
118
00:06:18,889 --> 00:06:21,449
Fired by what kind of
a.32 is a good question.
119
00:06:21,525 --> 00:06:22,617
A.32 did that?
120
00:06:22,693 --> 00:06:25,321
With a little help from
fulminate of mercury.
121
00:06:25,395 --> 00:06:28,728
Spectro-analysis confirmed the
presence of mercury crystals.
122
00:06:28,799 --> 00:06:30,061
Explosive tips.
123
00:06:30,133 --> 00:06:31,691
I'll call the CIA and ask them
124
00:06:31,767 --> 00:06:33,462
if they counted
their bullets lately.
125
00:06:33,536 --> 00:06:34,662
If you know what you're doing,
126
00:06:34,737 --> 00:06:37,227
anyone can make fulminate of
mercury in their own basement.
127
00:06:37,305 --> 00:06:39,432
How? You break open
a couple of thermometers?
128
00:06:39,507 --> 00:06:41,498
Welcome to the late
20th century, Lennie.
129
00:06:41,576 --> 00:06:43,601
They don't use mercury
in thermometers anymore.
130
00:06:43,678 --> 00:06:46,272
You have to buy it
at a supply house.
131
00:06:46,348 --> 00:06:50,341
Home-made bullets, drop cloth,
no prints, no fibers.
132
00:06:50,418 --> 00:06:52,545
You smell a pro?
I smell an MO.
133
00:06:52,621 --> 00:06:55,590
Let's run it by OCCB.
Thanks.
134
00:06:59,094 --> 00:07:01,824
Victim was a janitor?
135
00:07:02,397 --> 00:07:04,490
You mean, as in a
clean-up guy for the Mob?
136
00:07:04,566 --> 00:07:06,329
No, as in a janitor.
137
00:07:06,568 --> 00:07:08,729
Who's he to rate a
quality hit like this?
138
00:07:08,803 --> 00:07:10,827
You know, we find the shooter,
maybe he'll tell us.
139
00:07:10,904 --> 00:07:12,269
Hmm.
140
00:07:12,473 --> 00:07:15,738
James Poulos,
aka, Jimmy the Pin.
141
00:07:15,809 --> 00:07:17,174
Never heard of him.
You weren't born
142
00:07:17,244 --> 00:07:19,211
when he was doing
his best work.
143
00:07:19,278 --> 00:07:23,908
Uh, see, one conviction, 1956.
Twelve-year stretch in Attica.
144
00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:26,074
We'll say hello for you.
145
00:07:26,152 --> 00:07:27,244
Thanks, Manny.
146
00:07:27,954 --> 00:07:30,445
Listen, Jimmy,
somebody copped your MO
147
00:07:30,523 --> 00:07:32,787
down in the Village
a few days ago.
148
00:07:32,859 --> 00:07:34,258
The whole thing
was by the numbers,
149
00:07:34,327 --> 00:07:36,022
right down to
the fuse box gimmick.
150
00:07:36,796 --> 00:07:40,459
No kidding?
Well, you're never gonna find him.
151
00:07:40,533 --> 00:07:43,001
They found you. 1956.
152
00:07:44,037 --> 00:07:46,028
One time, junior.
153
00:07:46,772 --> 00:07:49,400
Because some bum ratted me out.
154
00:07:50,575 --> 00:07:53,840
But it was never on the
forensic evidence. Never.
155
00:07:56,314 --> 00:07:58,578
That hit in the Village?
156
00:08:00,184 --> 00:08:06,419
For 12.95, any dope
could have done it. Here.
157
00:08:08,426 --> 00:08:12,760
"The Assassin's Technical Manual.
Free Nation Publications."
158
00:08:12,830 --> 00:08:15,526
Those nuts who run
around the woods
159
00:08:15,599 --> 00:08:17,464
playing Rambo,
they printed that.
160
00:08:17,535 --> 00:08:19,298
They interviewed you?
Nah.
161
00:08:19,370 --> 00:08:21,634
They didn't even
get my permission.
162
00:08:21,939 --> 00:08:24,600
And they sure as hell
ain't paying my royalties.
163
00:08:28,011 --> 00:08:29,171
We're in our
seventh printing.
164
00:08:29,245 --> 00:08:30,644
It's a mail-order
success story.
165
00:08:30,714 --> 00:08:33,706
How do you measure success,
in confirmed kills?
166
00:08:33,783 --> 00:08:34,909
Read the disclaimer.

Well, for our

00:08:39,022 --> 00:08:41,319
we'd like a list of the
people who order this trash.

for a mailing list,
173
00:08:51,433 --> 00:08:53,526
not the name of
a confidential source.
174
00:08:53,602 --> 00:08:57,003
I spilled patriot blood in
defense of the First Amendment.
175
00:08:57,072 --> 00:09:00,200
I'm not about to surrender
it to some Jose-come-lately.
176
00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:05,837
He'll argue that keeping his mailing
list confidential is essential
177
00:09:05,913 --> 00:09:08,211
to the exercise of his
First Amendment rights.
178
00:09:08,282 --> 00:09:10,079
And a judge will buy that?
179
00:09:10,151 --> 00:09:12,551
You want to spend six months
in court to find out?
180
00:09:12,620 --> 00:09:15,885
I'd like to know before the
killer starts drawing a pension.
181
00:09:16,157 --> 00:09:19,354
He followed the instructions in
here step-by-step. Chapter 6.
182
00:09:19,427 --> 00:09:21,019
There's even a checklist.
183
00:09:21,095 --> 00:09:23,654
The publisher provided the means
for him to commit a felony.
184
00:09:23,730 --> 00:09:26,597
Criminal facilitation?
I don't think so.
185
00:09:27,134 --> 00:09:28,328
I'd like to run with it.
186
00:09:28,401 --> 00:09:31,336
If that's what you want
to do, God bless you.
187
00:09:32,706 --> 00:09:34,264
What does he know?
188
00:09:34,341 --> 00:09:37,435
You're going to trot out this
crap in front of a grand jury?
189
00:09:37,511 --> 00:09:39,501
Just as soon as they
get back from lunch.
190
00:09:39,578 --> 00:09:41,307
I might even toss in
hindering prosecution.
191
00:09:41,380 --> 00:09:42,779
This is a joke.
192
00:09:42,848 --> 00:09:45,840
As your lawyer knows, I can get this
pencil indicted if I'm in the mood.
193
00:09:45,918 --> 00:09:47,385
You can't
make it stick.
194
00:09:47,453 --> 00:09:49,648
Any judge will see
it for what it is,
195
00:09:49,722 --> 00:09:52,054
an end-run around
the First Amendment.
196
00:09:52,124 --> 00:09:55,287
And you'll spend every dime of
your client's money to prove it.
197
00:09:57,029 --> 00:09:59,896
Freedom of the press
isn't free, Mr. Bailey.
198
00:09:59,965 --> 00:10:02,160
But turning over your mailing
list won't cost you a cent.
199
00:10:02,234 --> 00:10:04,167
I can't believe this.
It's extortion.
200
00:10:04,235 --> 00:10:05,725
It's leverage.
201
00:10:08,573 --> 00:10:10,234
Lunchtime's over.
202
00:10:10,542 --> 00:10:12,533
Go ahead. Take me to court.
203
00:10:12,610 --> 00:10:15,703
I welcome the chance to
kick some government butt.
204
00:10:17,548 --> 00:10:19,846
You don't want this
fight, Mr. Bailey.
205
00:10:19,917 --> 00:10:22,385
I'll have every city,
state and federal agency
206
00:10:22,452 --> 00:10:24,215
from the postal
inspector to the IRS
207
00:10:24,288 --> 00:10:25,687
crawling up your
digestive track.
208
00:10:25,756 --> 00:10:27,417
Just hold on a second.
209
00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:39,599
You'll have the list on your
desk first thing in the morning.
210
00:10:42,005 --> 00:10:44,132
All these people
ordered the book?
211
00:10:44,274 --> 00:10:46,867
If you see one of my
ex's in there, let me know.
212
00:10:47,577 --> 00:10:51,707
Oh, look, somebody in
Quantico ordered six copies.
213
00:10:51,781 --> 00:10:52,940
Wonder who that is.
214
00:10:53,014 --> 00:10:55,915
Great. My tax
dollars at work.
215
00:10:55,984 --> 00:10:58,646
Greg Franklin worked
for Hudson University?
216
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,278
Yeah. He quit a month ago.
217
00:11:00,355 --> 00:11:03,722
Well, somebody there bought
the book three weeks ago.
218
00:11:03,792 --> 00:11:05,453
Who's that?
219
00:11:05,527 --> 00:11:06,926
Greg Franklin.
220
00:11:11,633 --> 00:11:14,500
I don't remember a package
coming here for Greg.
221
00:11:14,736 --> 00:11:17,705
Anyway, the mailroom knows he
doesn't work here anymore.
222
00:11:17,772 --> 00:11:21,333
Hey, why would he have a book
sent to him after he quit?
223
00:11:21,409 --> 00:11:23,969
Yeah, we asked ourselves
the same thing.
224
00:11:24,045 --> 00:11:26,478
Figure maybe it was
one of his old buddies.
225
00:11:26,547 --> 00:11:28,572
The same one who put
three bullets into him.
226
00:11:28,649 --> 00:11:29,979
I heard he was murdered.
227
00:11:30,049 --> 00:11:33,177
But, look, Greg got along with
everybody who worked here.
228
00:11:33,253 --> 00:11:34,811
Got along so well, he quit.
229
00:11:34,888 --> 00:11:36,947
He got tired of
the graveyard shift.
230
00:11:37,023 --> 00:11:40,515
Yeah, started working nights
on his new job for less money.
231
00:11:40,793 --> 00:11:46,493
Mr. Krasny, isn't it possible that
Greg left for some other reason?
232
00:11:49,903 --> 00:11:51,700
Somebody accused him
of stealing drugs
233
00:11:51,771 --> 00:11:54,467
from the Department of Psychiatry.
Tranquilizers.
234
00:11:54,540 --> 00:11:57,031
A janitor's always
a good suspect.
235
00:11:57,677 --> 00:12:01,010
Greg worked here nine years without a problem.
I didn't believe it.
236
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,377
Well, what did
Greg say about it?
237
00:12:02,448 --> 00:12:05,576
He said that someone was out to get him.
He didn't know who.
238
00:12:05,652 --> 00:12:08,585
Security leaned on him
hard, so he just quit.
239
00:12:09,453 --> 00:12:10,784
Excuse me.
240
00:12:12,423 --> 00:12:15,620
Well, Franklin was right,
somebody was out to get him.
241
00:12:15,693 --> 00:12:18,127
Well, he got paid not to
notice porno was being filmed.
242
00:12:18,195 --> 00:12:20,857
Maybe he took money not to
notice drugs were being stolen.
243
00:12:20,932 --> 00:12:23,730
That would explain why he kept his
mouth shut when he was suspected.
244
00:12:23,801 --> 00:12:25,894
Maybe he asked for more
money to keep it shut.
245
00:12:25,970 --> 00:12:27,528
Somebody got pissed.
Yeah.
246
00:12:27,605 --> 00:12:31,006
Somebody who was there when that
book showed up at the mailroom.
247
00:12:31,208 --> 00:12:34,234
Mail addressed to former
employees goes in that bin.
248
00:12:34,779 --> 00:12:37,942
If we have a forwarding
address, we forward it.
249
00:12:38,015 --> 00:12:40,074
If not, it gets
returned to the sender.
250
00:12:40,151 --> 00:12:42,915
Well, how long does
the mail stay in there?
251
00:12:42,987 --> 00:12:44,749
This isn't the US Post Office.
252
00:12:44,821 --> 00:12:46,186
Is that good or bad?
253
00:12:46,256 --> 00:12:47,746
Turnaround time's
about three days.
254
00:12:47,824 --> 00:12:50,087
Who has access to the bin?
255
00:12:50,159 --> 00:12:51,888
Everyone that works here.
256
00:12:51,961 --> 00:12:56,057
Fifty or 60 people, counting full-time
employees and students on part-time.
257
00:12:56,131 --> 00:12:58,326
Okay, we're gonna need
a list of those names, okay?
258
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,697
Sure.
259
00:13:01,370 --> 00:13:03,565
Sixty doors to knock on, Rey.
260
00:13:03,639 --> 00:13:07,166
I'll tell you what, I'll take the
coed dorms, you take the rest.
261
00:13:07,242 --> 00:13:10,040
How many mailmen know
what a fulminate is?
262
00:13:11,013 --> 00:13:12,139
One.
263
00:13:12,614 --> 00:13:14,206
The chemistry major.
264
00:13:14,650 --> 00:13:16,311
A first-year student
could do it.
265
00:13:16,385 --> 00:13:17,909
If he had the ingredients?
Mmm-hmm.
266
00:13:17,987 --> 00:13:21,320
Mercury nitrate,
nitric acid and ethanol.
267
00:13:21,390 --> 00:13:24,790
It's all here under lock and key.
And strictly rationed.
268
00:13:24,859 --> 00:13:26,554
You wouldn't
believe our budget.
269
00:13:26,627 --> 00:13:30,028
So if one of your students was
cooking up a batch of this stuff,
270
00:13:30,098 --> 00:13:32,998
who would know about it?
Unless you had a cold, you'd know.
271
00:13:33,066 --> 00:13:34,590
You see, during
the heating process,
272
00:13:34,668 --> 00:13:37,193
fulminate of mercury
makes a god-awful stink.
273
00:13:37,270 --> 00:13:39,932
This is a list of students who
work in the campus mailroom.
274
00:13:40,007 --> 00:13:41,702
Any of them yours?
275
00:13:42,642 --> 00:13:45,167
Yes, this one.
Ms. Nguyen.
276
00:13:45,746 --> 00:13:47,077
Thank you.
277
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,578
Wednesday night?
I was with my sister.
278
00:13:49,649 --> 00:13:52,243
She came down
from MIT to visit.
279
00:13:52,319 --> 00:13:53,445
Why do you want to know?
280
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,455
Well, last Wednesday, a janitor
who used to work here was shot.
281
00:13:56,523 --> 00:13:58,548
We think by somebody who
knows their way around
282
00:13:58,625 --> 00:14:01,149
the campus mailroom
and a chemistry lab.
283
00:14:01,227 --> 00:14:04,196
I'm two for two.
But I didn't shoot anybody.
284
00:14:04,263 --> 00:14:05,628
Why chemistry?
285
00:14:05,698 --> 00:14:09,498
Well, the killer used bullets that
were tipped with fulminate of mercury.
286
00:14:11,037 --> 00:14:12,334
And he works in the mailroom?
287
00:14:12,405 --> 00:14:15,032
It's a possibility.
You know somebody?
288
00:14:16,207 --> 00:14:19,233
I'm not sure.
I don't want to get him in trouble.
289
00:14:19,310 --> 00:14:22,245
Sweetheart, if he didn't do
it, he's not in any trouble.
290
00:14:24,082 --> 00:14:27,916
This boy I work with, Alan.
He usually keeps to himself.
291
00:14:27,986 --> 00:14:31,717
He asked me out to a movie a few weeks ago.
He wouldn't stop talking.
292
00:14:31,790 --> 00:14:33,280
I couldn't follow
what he was saying,
293
00:14:33,358 --> 00:14:36,350
but he kept asking about reagent
catalytic salts of mercury.
294
00:14:36,427 --> 00:14:39,794
He said it was for a class in
ethics and contemporary history.
295
00:14:39,863 --> 00:14:40,921
I didn't get the connection.
296
00:14:40,998 --> 00:14:43,432
You give us his name,
we'll ask him.
297
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:46,128
Alan Sawyer.
He's a history major.
298
00:14:46,203 --> 00:14:48,637
He works in the mailroom
Tuesday afternoons.
299
00:14:53,744 --> 00:14:56,268
Alan? Alan Sawyer?
300
00:14:58,047 --> 00:15:00,538
I'm Detective Curtis.
This is my partner, Detective Briscoe.
301
00:15:00,616 --> 00:15:02,049
We'd like to talk
to you a minute.
302
00:15:02,118 --> 00:15:03,517
About what?
303
00:15:03,586 --> 00:15:06,077
Fulminate of mercury.
You familiar with it?
304
00:15:07,390 --> 00:15:09,517
You must've heard
about my project.
305
00:15:09,592 --> 00:15:10,820
That's right, you
were in the mailroom.
306
00:15:10,893 --> 00:15:12,451
Your crystal ball
tell you that?
307
00:15:12,528 --> 00:15:15,291
Nah, I went there to get
my paycheck during lunch.
308
00:15:15,363 --> 00:15:17,593
Then you must've
talked to Little Orchid?
309
00:15:17,666 --> 00:15:20,157
Little Orchid? Who's she?
A friend of Pocahontas?
310
00:15:20,235 --> 00:15:24,171
She's a chemistry whiz.
Little Orchid's her name in Vietnamese.
311
00:15:24,539 --> 00:15:26,598
She told you about my project.
Yeah.
312
00:15:26,675 --> 00:15:28,666
Now, you can tell us about it.
313
00:15:28,743 --> 00:15:32,201
Minamata. It's this
Japanese fishing village.
314
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,305
About 40 years ago,
a paper mill dumped
315
00:15:34,382 --> 00:15:37,316
600 tons of mercury
into the bay there.
316
00:15:37,384 --> 00:15:40,046
People died, babies were
born with birth defects.
317
00:15:40,121 --> 00:15:42,919
That's horrible.
So what's your project about?
318
00:15:42,990 --> 00:15:44,981
I'm writing a history
paper for class.
319
00:15:45,059 --> 00:15:49,393
It's about the evolution of corporate
responses to environmental disasters.
320
00:15:49,463 --> 00:15:51,589
I got the idea from my dad.
He's a corporate lawyer.
321
00:15:51,698 --> 00:15:56,726
Hmm. Well, how'd you go from
poisoned fish to mercury explosives?
322
00:15:56,803 --> 00:15:59,499
I've been curious about
mercury for a while.
323
00:16:00,673 --> 00:16:02,334
Little Orchid wasn't paying
attention to me, anyway.
324
00:16:02,408 --> 00:16:03,966
She's hot for Brad Pitt.
325
00:16:04,043 --> 00:16:05,305
Okay?
326
00:16:05,378 --> 00:16:06,572
Oh, one more thing.
327
00:16:06,913 --> 00:16:09,211
Where were you Wednesday night?
328
00:16:09,649 --> 00:16:12,516
In my dorm room,
cramming for a mid-term.
329
00:16:12,719 --> 00:16:14,550
It was nice
talking to you guys.
330
00:16:16,022 --> 00:16:19,422
My dad's a corporate lawyer,
your witness is confused,
331
00:16:19,491 --> 00:16:20,856
I have a fine alibi...
332
00:16:20,926 --> 00:16:23,087
And an excuse for everything.
333
00:16:23,162 --> 00:16:24,686
Let's start with the alibi.
334
00:16:26,431 --> 00:16:28,625
I saw him in the bathroom
a couple of times.
335
00:16:28,699 --> 00:16:31,031
Besides that, his door was closed.
He had the music going.
336
00:16:31,102 --> 00:16:32,296
What about after midnight?
337
00:16:32,370 --> 00:16:34,099
His door was closed.
He had the music going.
338
00:16:34,172 --> 00:16:36,640
Believe me, I'd love to
help you lock this guy up.
339
00:16:36,707 --> 00:16:38,868
Oh, why is that?
You don't like his music?
340
00:16:38,943 --> 00:16:40,570
I don't like him.
The guy's a pig.
341
00:16:40,645 --> 00:16:43,978
Let me ask you something. You ever notice
any unusual smells coming from his room?
342
00:16:44,048 --> 00:16:47,347
Unusual? The guy's
got a hotplate in there.
343
00:16:47,418 --> 00:16:51,115
I don't know what he's been cooking
lately, but it smells like roadkill.
344
00:16:51,822 --> 00:16:53,756
Did you ever hear him
talk about a janitor
345
00:16:53,824 --> 00:16:55,849
that worked in the
Department of Psychiatry?
346
00:16:55,927 --> 00:16:58,327
A guy named Greg Franklin?
No.
347
00:16:58,396 --> 00:17:01,922
Why? Was he Sawyer's
mystery lover?
348
00:17:01,998 --> 00:17:03,898
Why would you say that?
349
00:17:04,067 --> 00:17:06,057
Sawyer's over there
every night around 7:00.
350
00:17:06,135 --> 00:17:09,434
He says he gets paid to do
scut work in the research lab,
351
00:17:09,505 --> 00:17:11,234
but you never know.
352
00:17:11,607 --> 00:17:14,974
I placed an ad in the campus newspaper.
Alan answered.
353
00:17:15,044 --> 00:17:17,979
I pay him $100 a week to collate data.
On what?
354
00:17:18,047 --> 00:17:20,345
We research new
psychotropic drugs
355
00:17:20,416 --> 00:17:23,283
using animals and
humans as subjects.
356
00:17:23,352 --> 00:17:26,253
So these rats are all on drugs?
Yes.
357
00:17:26,322 --> 00:17:28,085
The same kind of drugs that
were stolen last month?
358
00:17:28,157 --> 00:17:30,091
No, no. Those
were tranquilizers.
359
00:17:30,159 --> 00:17:31,558
Is Alan in some
kind of trouble?
360
00:17:31,627 --> 00:17:34,687
Well, the janitor who used to clean the
building was killed a few days ago.
361
00:17:34,763 --> 00:17:37,891
Greg? Oh, my God.
362
00:17:39,501 --> 00:17:41,024
And you suspect Alan?
363
00:17:41,502 --> 00:17:45,232
You're the psychiatrist, Dr.
Varick. Is Alan the type?
364
00:17:45,305 --> 00:17:47,034
Well, anyone is
the type, Detective.
365
00:17:47,107 --> 00:17:48,165
I don't have to tell you that.
366
00:17:48,242 --> 00:17:50,710
Well, if Alan had some
kind of a beef with Greg,
367
00:17:50,777 --> 00:17:52,108
it would narrow things down.
368
00:17:52,179 --> 00:17:53,908
Not that I know of.
369
00:17:54,514 --> 00:17:57,005
I'm sorry I can't
be more helpful.
370
00:17:57,818 --> 00:18:00,810
We faxed his photo to every
chemical supply house in the area.
371
00:18:00,887 --> 00:18:03,151
Nobody called back to say
that he was in their store.
372
00:18:03,223 --> 00:18:05,248
Campus security's letting CSU
373
00:18:05,325 --> 00:18:08,317
and the bomb squad search the
common areas of Sawyer's dorm.
374
00:18:08,395 --> 00:18:10,295
We figured if he made
the stuff in his room,
375
00:18:10,364 --> 00:18:12,229
they might find gas
residue in the hallway.
376
00:18:12,299 --> 00:18:14,733
You talk to a judge about a
search warrant for his room?
377
00:18:14,801 --> 00:18:18,396
Yeah, Judge Serena. She wasn't too
impressed with our coincidences.
378
00:18:18,472 --> 00:18:21,269
Yeah. Our profile of someone
with knowledge of explosives
379
00:18:21,340 --> 00:18:25,105
and someone who had access to the
mailroom and Psychiatry Department
380
00:18:25,176 --> 00:18:26,336
wasn't specific enough.
381
00:18:26,411 --> 00:18:28,379
Did you tell her about
the smell from his room?
382
00:18:28,446 --> 00:18:31,609
Oh, you'll be glad to
know that " Unidentified
383
00:18:31,683 --> 00:18:34,151
"transient odors
aren't probable cause."
384
00:18:34,219 --> 00:18:35,982
Well, bring Alan in for a chat.
385
00:18:36,054 --> 00:18:38,750
See what he thinks
about our coincidences.
386
00:18:41,126 --> 00:18:43,253
I've never seen this book.
Is it any good?
387
00:18:43,328 --> 00:18:45,626
Oh, yeah.
It's a real page-turner.
388
00:18:46,097 --> 00:18:50,397
So you in the mailroom,
coincidence number one.
389
00:18:50,635 --> 00:18:53,365
Little Orchid,
coincidence number two.
390
00:18:53,672 --> 00:18:57,199
I explained that.
Yeah, right, the contaminated fish.
391
00:18:57,275 --> 00:18:59,902
Number three,
you work in the same lab
392
00:18:59,977 --> 00:19:01,535
that Franklin was cleaning up.
393
00:19:01,612 --> 00:19:02,806
That doesn't count.
394
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,109
I know two people in the
mailroom from pre-med.
395
00:19:05,181 --> 00:19:06,978
They take classes in
that same building.
396
00:19:07,050 --> 00:19:09,644
Number four,
the stench in your room.
397
00:19:10,787 --> 00:19:12,379
That one's easy.
398
00:19:12,822 --> 00:19:16,189
I tried making Hom yu.
It's this Chinese pork dish.
399
00:19:16,259 --> 00:19:18,124
It really stinks the place up.
400
00:19:18,194 --> 00:19:19,991
You got it all
covered, don't you?
401
00:19:21,497 --> 00:19:23,226
Here, check my fingerprints.
402
00:19:23,299 --> 00:19:25,358
You'll see that I wasn't
in that guy's apartment.
403
00:19:25,435 --> 00:19:27,027
Give me a break.
You wore gloves, Alan.
404
00:19:27,103 --> 00:19:28,263
You know we didn't
find any prints.
405
00:19:28,338 --> 00:19:30,363
What about my hair?
If I was there as long as you say,
406
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:31,634
you would've found
some of my hair.
407
00:19:31,708 --> 00:19:33,403
Hey, we know
about the drop cloth
408
00:19:33,476 --> 00:19:35,136
and the lights and the pillow.
409
00:19:35,210 --> 00:19:37,474
You followed every damn
instruction in that book!
410
00:19:37,546 --> 00:19:42,074
So, I'm guilty because
you don't have any evidence?
411
00:19:53,561 --> 00:19:55,586
Lori Franklin is here.
412
00:19:57,298 --> 00:19:58,822
Ms. Franklin.
413
00:20:02,236 --> 00:20:03,965
Is that him?
414
00:20:04,038 --> 00:20:05,562
Yes. Now take your time.
415
00:20:06,273 --> 00:20:08,798
His name is Alan Sawyer.
416
00:20:09,143 --> 00:20:11,940
No, I never heard
Dad talk about him.
417
00:20:14,013 --> 00:20:16,538
No, I never saw him.
418
00:20:16,616 --> 00:20:18,481
Okay. Thanks for coming in.
419
00:20:21,955 --> 00:20:24,981
CSU finished
their search of the dorm.
420
00:20:27,292 --> 00:20:29,692
No fulminate of
mercury residue.
421
00:20:30,129 --> 00:20:32,063
But look what
they found missing.
422
00:20:32,431 --> 00:20:34,456
The mercury-filled
bubbles that make
423
00:20:34,533 --> 00:20:37,627
the thermostats in
his dorm go on and off.
424
00:20:44,410 --> 00:20:46,105
You know, it's time
I called my parents.
425
00:20:46,178 --> 00:20:47,611
No, it's time we
put you under arrest
426
00:20:47,679 --> 00:20:48,771
for the murder
of Greg Franklin.
427
00:20:48,847 --> 00:20:51,440
Stand up. You have the
right to remain silent.
428
00:20:51,516 --> 00:20:53,984
Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.
429
00:20:54,051 --> 00:20:55,177
You have the right
to an attorney.
430
00:20:55,253 --> 00:20:57,084
If you cannot afford one, one
will be appointed to you.
431
00:20:57,155 --> 00:20:58,622
You understand that?
432
00:20:58,689 --> 00:20:59,815
Yes.
433
00:20:59,891 --> 00:21:01,722
But I'd really like
to talk to my parents.
434
00:21:01,793 --> 00:21:03,385
No, first, we're
gonna talk about
435
00:21:03,461 --> 00:21:05,793
where you got the mercury
for your bullets.
436
00:21:05,863 --> 00:21:09,229
Hey, you know that really had
us going, Alan. Till now.
437
00:21:09,299 --> 00:21:12,757
The thermostats in your dorm.
They're missing the mercury switches.
438
00:21:12,836 --> 00:21:17,773
Coincidence number five.
And your prints are on those switches.
439
00:21:21,678 --> 00:21:22,770
Okay.
440
00:21:29,885 --> 00:21:33,082
I put on a shower
cap and plastic gloves.
441
00:21:33,923 --> 00:21:40,158
I put down the drop cloth and I unscrewed
the fuse and I waited for him.
442
00:21:41,831 --> 00:21:43,924
As soon as the door
closed, I shot him.
443
00:21:43,999 --> 00:21:45,364
Why'd you do it, Alan?
444
00:21:45,434 --> 00:21:47,902
Did it have something to
do with the stolen drugs?
445
00:21:48,237 --> 00:21:51,763
I stole those so they'd
blame him and fire him.
446
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,468
Why? What did Franklin
ever do to you?
447
00:21:56,144 --> 00:21:58,635
He was a Knight Templar.
448
00:21:58,713 --> 00:22:00,704
He was 600 years old.
449
00:22:00,782 --> 00:22:02,943
They told me he was
trying to kill me.
450
00:22:03,017 --> 00:22:05,143
Who said that?
451
00:22:05,219 --> 00:22:07,483
King Philip and Pope Clement.
452
00:22:07,554 --> 00:22:10,455
They told me to shoot him
and they told me how.
453
00:22:21,034 --> 00:22:24,060
I still can't believe the judge
turned us down for bail.
454
00:22:24,137 --> 00:22:28,039
Whatever perfume you were wearing, Ms.
Ross, I should start wearing too.
455
00:22:28,408 --> 00:22:31,069
Anyway, I talked to Alan, and
we're changing our plea.
456
00:22:31,143 --> 00:22:33,008
You finally got around
to reading his confession?
457
00:22:33,079 --> 00:22:36,776
Please, I was halfway to the Garden
last night when I caught this case.
458
00:22:36,849 --> 00:22:39,477
We're pleading not guilty
by reason of mental disease.
459
00:22:39,552 --> 00:22:41,610
I beg your pardon?
The kid hears voices.
460
00:22:41,686 --> 00:22:42,710
Didn't you read his statement?
461
00:22:42,787 --> 00:22:44,311
Every word.
462
00:22:44,389 --> 00:22:47,620
Including how he carefully planned
and executed a cold-blooded murder.
463
00:22:47,692 --> 00:22:50,991
I didn't say he was stupid.
He's a diagnosed schizophrenic.
464
00:22:51,062 --> 00:22:52,086
Diagnosed by whom?
465
00:22:52,163 --> 00:22:53,596
Dr. Christian Varick.
466
00:22:53,665 --> 00:22:56,634
Chief of psychiatric research
at Hudson University.
467
00:22:56,701 --> 00:22:58,669
Alan's been under his care
for the last four months.
468
00:22:58,737 --> 00:23:02,195
The police talked to Varick.
He never said he was treating Alan.
469
00:23:02,274 --> 00:23:03,969
I doubt he forgot.
470
00:23:04,042 --> 00:23:06,272
Maybe your detectives
forgot he told them.
471
00:23:08,113 --> 00:23:12,606
I am paying Alan $100 a week as
a test subject in a drug study.
472
00:23:12,683 --> 00:23:15,015
It would've been nice to know
that before we arrested him.
473
00:23:15,085 --> 00:23:17,645
My hands were tied by the
doctor-patient privilege.
474
00:23:17,721 --> 00:23:19,585
You understand my dilemma.
475
00:23:19,656 --> 00:23:21,146
His lawyer claims
he can't appreciate
476
00:23:21,224 --> 00:23:23,192
the consequences
of his actions.
477
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,687
That might've been
true four months ago.
478
00:23:25,895 --> 00:23:28,489
He was paranoid, he heard voices,
he had violent fantasies
479
00:23:28,565 --> 00:23:31,363
concerning the Crusades
and the medieval knights.
480
00:23:31,434 --> 00:23:32,662
And now?
481
00:23:33,069 --> 00:23:36,061
According to my research
assistant's evaluations,
482
00:23:36,139 --> 00:23:37,902
he is asymptomatic.
483
00:23:37,974 --> 00:23:39,566
No more voices?
That's right.
484
00:23:39,642 --> 00:23:41,803
As long as he keeps
taking his medication.
485
00:23:41,878 --> 00:23:43,345
Which is what?
486
00:23:43,413 --> 00:23:46,075
Well, half the subjects in my
study are taking fluphenazine.
487
00:23:46,149 --> 00:23:50,415
The other half are on T489.
It's an experimental drug.
488
00:23:50,486 --> 00:23:52,511
I broke Alan's double-blind
coding last night
489
00:23:52,589 --> 00:23:53,816
to see which group he was in.
490
00:23:53,889 --> 00:23:55,788
He's been taking T489.
491
00:23:56,791 --> 00:23:58,122
It's had a remarkable effect.
492
00:23:58,192 --> 00:24:00,558
So Pope Clement
and King Philip?
493
00:24:01,596 --> 00:24:04,326
I don't know why Alan
killed Mr. Franklin,
494
00:24:04,398 --> 00:24:06,696
but it had nothing to
do with his disease.
495
00:24:07,468 --> 00:24:10,096
This is pretty much what
Varick told me over the phone.
496
00:24:10,171 --> 00:24:12,799
You want to change your plea back
to plain vanilla not guilty?
497
00:24:12,873 --> 00:24:15,137
We're not conceding anything.
498
00:24:17,411 --> 00:24:19,311
Motion to
suppress the confession?
499
00:24:19,780 --> 00:24:21,042
Plan B.
500
00:24:25,086 --> 00:24:26,610
Twice during his interrogation,
501
00:24:26,687 --> 00:24:28,416
my client asked to
speak to his parents.
502
00:24:28,489 --> 00:24:30,514
Twice, the police refused.
503
00:24:30,625 --> 00:24:32,888
His client
is not a minor.
504
00:24:32,959 --> 00:24:35,586
Asking for mom and
dad is not the same
505
00:24:35,661 --> 00:24:37,094
as invoking
the right to counsel.
506
00:24:37,162 --> 00:24:39,255
It is if dad's an attorney.
507
00:24:39,331 --> 00:24:41,822
A corporate attorney
from Baltimore.
508
00:24:42,267 --> 00:24:44,326
Miranda doesn't say
that a defendant can
509
00:24:44,403 --> 00:24:46,132
only ask for New York
criminal lawyers.
510
00:24:46,205 --> 00:24:47,832
The police knew his
father was an attorney?
511
00:24:47,906 --> 00:24:49,464
He told them so in
an earlier interview.
512
00:24:49,541 --> 00:24:51,065
He said it
in passing.
513
00:24:51,143 --> 00:24:54,977
Your Honor, if he wanted to speak
to his father as an attorney,
514
00:24:55,047 --> 00:24:57,641
he should've said so when
he was read his rights.
515
00:24:57,716 --> 00:25:00,378
There are no magic
words, Mr. McCoy.
516
00:25:00,452 --> 00:25:03,080
Your officers should've erred
on the side of caution.
517
00:25:03,155 --> 00:25:04,952
Mr. Sawyer was
denied counsel.
518
00:25:05,324 --> 00:25:07,554
I'm gonna suppress
his confession.
519
00:25:07,626 --> 00:25:10,321
Is there any other evidence
that might sustain the charges?
520
00:25:10,395 --> 00:25:13,057
We have his fingerprints
on the broken thermostats...
521
00:25:13,131 --> 00:25:16,157
Along with the prints of
a dozen other individuals.
522
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,401
I don't see legal
sufficiency here, Mr. McCoy.
523
00:25:20,570 --> 00:25:23,437
I'm dismissing the charges
and releasing Mr. Sawyer.
524
00:25:30,180 --> 00:25:34,014
He shoots my father three
times, he confesses,
525
00:25:34,084 --> 00:25:36,245
and now he gets to go home?
526
00:25:36,319 --> 00:25:37,980
What about my father's rights?
527
00:25:38,055 --> 00:25:39,920
Doesn't anybody
care about that?
528
00:25:39,990 --> 00:25:41,355
We do.
529
00:25:41,425 --> 00:25:45,020
And we have every intention of
pursuing the case against Alan Sawyer.
530
00:25:48,197 --> 00:25:49,892
The police do
anything right?
531
00:25:49,965 --> 00:25:52,866
They searched everywhere Sawyer
could've hidden evidence.
532
00:25:52,935 --> 00:25:55,631
I wish I could tell
you to take a plea.
533
00:25:56,405 --> 00:25:59,134
Call Briscoe and Curtis.
Give them the bad news.
534
00:25:59,207 --> 00:26:00,902
This is interesting.
535
00:26:00,975 --> 00:26:02,533
I asked the Baltimore
state's attorney
536
00:26:02,610 --> 00:26:05,238
to run Sawyer's
parents for a gun permit.
537
00:26:05,313 --> 00:26:07,406
His father
owns a Ruger.32.
538
00:26:09,751 --> 00:26:11,378
I'll call Amtrak.
539
00:26:14,756 --> 00:26:18,055
We have nothing to tell you, Ms. Ross.
We don't know where the gun is.
540
00:26:18,126 --> 00:26:19,491
As a lawyer, you
know it's the law
541
00:26:19,561 --> 00:26:21,222
to report a lost
or stolen weapon.
542
00:26:21,296 --> 00:26:22,661
I'm familiar with the law.
543
00:26:22,731 --> 00:26:25,699
Since no report was made,
the gun should still be here.
544
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,530
Fred, please.
This isn't helping him.
545
00:26:30,070 --> 00:26:32,300
When we heard that
Alan was arrested,
546
00:26:32,372 --> 00:26:34,533
we looked for the gun
and it wasn't here.
547
00:26:34,608 --> 00:26:36,576
We're not saying
that Alan took it.
548
00:26:36,643 --> 00:26:38,611
When was
Alan last here?
549
00:26:39,179 --> 00:26:42,944
Our son is sick.
He's not responsible for his actions.
550
00:26:43,015 --> 00:26:44,676
That's not what
Dr. Varick says.
551
00:26:44,751 --> 00:26:46,378
Well, he's wrong.
552
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,818
Alan spent the night here
about a month ago.
553
00:26:49,889 --> 00:26:53,484
In the morning, I found him huddled
in the corner of his room,
554
00:26:53,559 --> 00:26:55,322
naked and crying.
555
00:26:55,828 --> 00:26:59,457
He said the voices were telling
him to do terrible things.
556
00:26:59,532 --> 00:27:01,557
We'd never seen him this bad.
557
00:27:01,634 --> 00:27:03,567
We thought the drugs
had him under control.
558
00:27:03,635 --> 00:27:04,966
Did you call Dr. Varick?
559
00:27:05,036 --> 00:27:06,469
Well, of course.
560
00:27:06,738 --> 00:27:09,605
He said it was
an anxiety attack.
561
00:27:09,674 --> 00:27:12,700
Told us to put him on the
train back to New York.
562
00:27:13,411 --> 00:27:16,244
Have you spoken to Alan since?
No.
563
00:27:16,748 --> 00:27:18,807
We tried to visit him in jail.
564
00:27:19,584 --> 00:27:21,176
He won't see us.
565
00:27:22,753 --> 00:27:27,053
He's scared.
He knows that he needs help.
566
00:27:27,858 --> 00:27:29,416
You want to have him
committed, Ms. Ross?
567
00:27:29,493 --> 00:27:31,518
Two days ago, you
wanted him in prison.
568
00:27:31,595 --> 00:27:33,688
Two days ago, I hadn't
spoken to his parents.
569
00:27:33,764 --> 00:27:35,891
And where did they get
their medical degree?
570
00:27:35,966 --> 00:27:39,696
Maybe they're wrong.
Maybe Varick is.
571
00:27:40,436 --> 00:27:44,065
We can file for a
Section 934-A admission
572
00:27:44,140 --> 00:27:46,608
and let the doctors at
Bellevue make the call.
573
00:27:47,677 --> 00:27:50,111
It might keep him off the streets
for at least a couple of months.
574
00:27:50,180 --> 00:27:51,977
The parents will
swear out an affidavit?
575
00:27:52,048 --> 00:27:53,709
Already done.
576
00:27:56,753 --> 00:27:59,244
Pick him up.
We might not need to.
577
00:27:59,322 --> 00:28:00,414
His parents think
there's a chance
578
00:28:00,490 --> 00:28:02,957
he might volunteer
to commit himself.
579
00:28:03,025 --> 00:28:04,959
My parents think
this is a good idea?
580
00:28:05,027 --> 00:28:06,654
Yes, they do.
581
00:28:06,728 --> 00:28:09,128
They're very
concerned about you.
582
00:28:10,098 --> 00:28:14,091
I feel...
I feel awful about that dead man.
583
00:28:14,670 --> 00:28:17,832
He didn't...
Alan, we're not here to discuss that.
584
00:28:21,209 --> 00:28:24,701
If you agree to commit yourself,
Alan, you'll get help.
585
00:28:24,779 --> 00:28:26,178
Isn't that what you want?
586
00:28:26,247 --> 00:28:27,441
Yeah, yeah. I...
587
00:28:27,515 --> 00:28:28,675
Alan...
588
00:28:28,749 --> 00:28:31,843
I know. I'm not gonna say
anything about that.
589
00:28:31,986 --> 00:28:33,146
I...
590
00:28:34,222 --> 00:28:37,453
I just... I don't know
what's happened to me.
591
00:28:37,525 --> 00:28:41,723
I mean, I wasn't always...
I just don't understand it.
592
00:28:41,796 --> 00:28:43,559
All right,
Alan, that's enough.
593
00:28:43,631 --> 00:28:45,188
Mr. McCoy just
wants to lock you up
594
00:28:45,265 --> 00:28:46,755
until he can charge
you with murder again.
595
00:28:46,833 --> 00:28:49,631
I want him where he won't
hurt himself or anyone else.
596
00:28:49,703 --> 00:28:51,762
The problem is you
want him in the system.
597
00:28:51,838 --> 00:28:55,273
My job is to keep him out.
If he needs help, he'll get it.
598
00:28:59,411 --> 00:29:04,280
During my examination, Mr.
Sawyer experienced auditory hallucinations.
599
00:29:04,817 --> 00:29:06,842
He described violent fantasies,
600
00:29:06,919 --> 00:29:09,979
and he expressed
ideas of reference.
601
00:29:10,890 --> 00:29:14,087
In your opinion, does he pose a
danger to himself or others?
602
00:29:14,159 --> 00:29:15,387
Yes, he does.
603
00:29:15,895 --> 00:29:17,226
Thank you.
604
00:29:18,831 --> 00:29:22,096
Doctor, how much time did you
spend with Alan before concluding
605
00:29:22,167 --> 00:29:24,135
he's a menace to society?
606
00:29:24,203 --> 00:29:25,999
Uh, forty-five minutes.
607
00:29:27,739 --> 00:29:30,902
Thank you for stopping by today.
No more questions.
608
00:29:31,842 --> 00:29:36,905
I have a BS in chemistry from
Harvard, an MD and a PhD from Yale.
609
00:29:37,381 --> 00:29:42,375
I did my residency in psychiatry at
Columbia, and for the last 10 years,
610
00:29:42,452 --> 00:29:44,215
I've been conducting
clinical studies
611
00:29:44,288 --> 00:29:45,812
in the treatment
of schizophrenia.
612
00:29:45,889 --> 00:29:48,119
And Alan was a subject
in one of these studies?
613
00:29:48,191 --> 00:29:49,818
Yes. For the past
four months,
614
00:29:49,893 --> 00:29:52,691
he was under my care
and receiving drug therapy.
615
00:29:52,763 --> 00:29:53,787
An experimental drug?
616
00:29:53,864 --> 00:29:56,332
Yes. T489.
617
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,392
Which has effectively
controlled his symptoms.
618
00:29:59,937 --> 00:30:03,373
Your Honor, we offer into
evidence the weekly evaluations
619
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,374
prepared by Dr. Varick
and his staff.
620
00:30:05,442 --> 00:30:06,807
So entered.
621
00:30:08,743 --> 00:30:10,973
Doctor, in your expert opinion,
622
00:30:11,046 --> 00:30:14,140
does Alan pose a danger
to himself or to others?
623
00:30:15,717 --> 00:30:18,948
As long as he is
properly medicated,
624
00:30:19,020 --> 00:30:21,045
there is no reason
to commit him.
625
00:30:23,124 --> 00:30:24,853
Properly medicated.
626
00:30:26,361 --> 00:30:29,057
Does that mean if
Alan is released today,
627
00:30:29,130 --> 00:30:33,499
you'll take him back into your
study and give him T489 again?
628
00:30:33,568 --> 00:30:38,198
No. His value as a test
subject has been compromised.
629
00:30:38,273 --> 00:30:39,433
I see.
630
00:30:42,077 --> 00:30:46,570
Alan's parents and two
respected psychiatrists agree
631
00:30:46,647 --> 00:30:48,877
that Alan hears voices.
632
00:30:49,882 --> 00:30:53,010
He's erratic and
possibly violent.
633
00:30:56,389 --> 00:30:58,357
How do you explain that?
634
00:31:01,027 --> 00:31:07,091
Your respected psychiatrists spent a
total of an hour-and-a-half with Alan.
635
00:31:09,402 --> 00:31:13,566
And his parents are
parents, not doctors.
636
00:31:14,207 --> 00:31:17,074
Isn't it possible
that you made a mistake?
637
00:31:20,713 --> 00:31:22,305
It's not likely.
638
00:31:23,248 --> 00:31:25,079
That arrogant bastard.
639
00:31:25,150 --> 00:31:27,812
Obviously, arrogance goes a
long way with Judge Steinman.
640
00:31:27,886 --> 00:31:30,320
She and Varick must be the only
two people in that building
641
00:31:30,389 --> 00:31:33,050
that don't think Alan
should be committed.
642
00:31:33,591 --> 00:31:35,650
I don't understand
what Varick's thinking.
643
00:31:35,726 --> 00:31:38,490
That makes two of us.
I looked at Alan's evaluations.
644
00:31:38,562 --> 00:31:41,861
The day after his so-called anxiety
attack, he was given perfect scores.
645
00:31:41,966 --> 00:31:43,593
Well, maybe his anxiety passed.
646
00:31:43,667 --> 00:31:45,294
But why isn't
there a mention of it?
647
00:31:45,369 --> 00:31:46,461
You'd think they'd
note it as a possible
648
00:31:46,537 --> 00:31:48,937
side effect of
an experimental drug.
649
00:31:49,006 --> 00:31:50,974
Varick's fudging
his evaluations?
650
00:31:51,042 --> 00:31:54,034
Or his research assistant is.
Her signature's on every one.
651
00:31:54,111 --> 00:31:56,579
Then why didn't she testify?
652
00:31:56,647 --> 00:31:58,945
Ask Alan's lawyer.
It was his call.
653
00:31:59,016 --> 00:32:01,074
But you're the one who
evaluated him, Ms. Perry.
654
00:32:01,151 --> 00:32:04,416
But Dr. Varick's the one with the
alphabet soup after his name.
655
00:32:04,487 --> 00:32:07,718
Believe me, he makes a
better witness than I do.
656
00:32:07,791 --> 00:32:10,021
Someone who's never
examined Alan?
657
00:32:10,093 --> 00:32:11,287
Not true.
658
00:32:11,361 --> 00:32:13,794
He conducted the initial
interview, he did the diagnosis,
659
00:32:13,862 --> 00:32:15,295
and he met with
Alan every month.
660
00:32:15,364 --> 00:32:17,696
And in between, he relied
on your evaluations.
661
00:32:17,766 --> 00:32:21,463
Well, we've worked together six years.
He trusts my judgment.
662
00:32:21,537 --> 00:32:24,438
Then why isn't there a record
of Alan's anxiety attack?
663
00:32:24,873 --> 00:32:26,864
I discussed
it with Dr. Varick.
664
00:32:26,942 --> 00:32:30,469
He said it was unrelated to his
condition and his medication.
665
00:32:30,546 --> 00:32:33,208
What was it related to, Ms.
Perry, the phases of the moon?
666
00:32:33,282 --> 00:32:34,806
His parents said he
was hearing voices.
667
00:32:34,883 --> 00:32:37,817
Parents say and do a lot
of things, Ms. Ross.
668
00:32:38,519 --> 00:32:40,851
We have to rely on
our own observations.
669
00:32:47,728 --> 00:32:50,219
Hey. Absolut soda, please.
670
00:32:50,298 --> 00:32:51,424
Excuse us, Mike.
671
00:32:51,499 --> 00:32:52,591
Sure.
672
00:32:53,301 --> 00:32:55,131
Will I need a refill?
673
00:32:55,202 --> 00:32:58,171
You're buying this round
and the next. Yeah?
674
00:32:58,238 --> 00:33:00,638
Perry boasted how effective
Varick was on the stand.
675
00:33:00,707 --> 00:33:03,471
She'd know.
She's seen him in action.
676
00:33:04,711 --> 00:33:06,679
"Filed in Philadelphia
County, 1991.
677
00:33:06,746 --> 00:33:10,182
"The estate of Cathy Simon
v. Dr. Christian Varick."
678
00:33:10,250 --> 00:33:14,619
Varick conducted drug studies at
Darby University from 1990 to 1993.
679
00:33:14,987 --> 00:33:16,579
Cathy Simon was a senior there.
680
00:33:16,655 --> 00:33:18,054
She was one of his guinea pigs?
681
00:33:18,124 --> 00:33:19,250
Yes.
682
00:33:19,391 --> 00:33:20,790
According to the complaint,
683
00:33:20,860 --> 00:33:23,920
Cathy was diagnosed as suffering
schizoaffective disorder.
684
00:33:23,996 --> 00:33:26,965
The first month she was in
Varick's study, dramatic results.
685
00:33:27,032 --> 00:33:28,795
Then her mood swings returned.
686
00:33:29,668 --> 00:33:32,034
Varick told her
parents to be patient.
687
00:33:32,104 --> 00:33:34,732
Let me guess, she got worse.
688
00:33:34,807 --> 00:33:36,797
Her parents begged Varick
to change her medication.
689
00:33:36,875 --> 00:33:39,105
He stopped returning
their calls.
690
00:33:39,444 --> 00:33:43,175
Three weeks later, Cathy Simon
jumped off the Tacony Bridge.
691
00:33:44,249 --> 00:33:46,012
Son of a bitch.
692
00:33:51,055 --> 00:33:55,354
A manic-depressive commits suicide.
Somebody call Ripley's.
693
00:33:55,425 --> 00:33:57,290
What's unbelievable, Adam,
694
00:33:57,361 --> 00:33:59,659
is Varick knew something
was wrong and ignored it.
695
00:33:59,730 --> 00:34:03,188
Well, 12 jurors in Philadelphia
didn't see it that way.
696
00:34:03,267 --> 00:34:05,963
And what does any of this have
to do with the Sawyer kid?
697
00:34:06,036 --> 00:34:09,164
His evaluations were off.
He had a relapse and Varick missed it.
698
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:10,263
Uh-huh.
699
00:34:10,340 --> 00:34:13,002
"I'm sorry. I goofed.
Won't do it again."
700
00:34:13,076 --> 00:34:15,601
Drug company funding his research
wouldn't be thrilled to hear that.
701
00:34:15,679 --> 00:34:17,737
Why? Mistakes happen.
702
00:34:17,813 --> 00:34:19,508
Once is a mistake, twice...
703
00:34:19,582 --> 00:34:20,879
Twice, what?
704
00:34:21,551 --> 00:34:23,280
If it was an honest mistake,
705
00:34:23,352 --> 00:34:27,152
at this point, he wouldn't be
paying much attention to Sawyer.
706
00:34:27,323 --> 00:34:29,154
But he puts his
reputation on the line
707
00:34:29,225 --> 00:34:31,124
for a man who
committed a murder.
708
00:34:31,193 --> 00:34:33,889
My hunch is something
else is going on.
709
00:34:35,730 --> 00:34:37,459
Well, we know what he told us.
710
00:34:37,532 --> 00:34:39,591
What'd he tell
the drug company?
711
00:34:39,668 --> 00:34:41,465
We don't give million-dollar
grants to people
712
00:34:41,536 --> 00:34:43,527
we don't trust to
test our product.
713
00:34:43,605 --> 00:34:45,596
You write a check, then what?
714
00:34:45,674 --> 00:34:47,665
You wait for Dr. Varick
to mail you his results?
715
00:34:47,742 --> 00:34:51,178
Of course not.
We have regular audits.
716
00:34:51,246 --> 00:34:54,215
And I meet with Dr.
Varick every month to review his data.
717
00:34:54,282 --> 00:34:56,750
Did you discuss a patient
named Alan Sawyer?
718
00:34:56,818 --> 00:34:59,251
Test subjects
are assigned numbers.
719
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:00,651
Patient number 12.
720
00:35:06,527 --> 00:35:09,188
I want to make our
company's position clear.
721
00:35:09,262 --> 00:35:12,425
Dr. Varick told us he
followed strict protocols.
722
00:35:12,498 --> 00:35:14,966
All potential test subjects
were given physical exams,
723
00:35:15,034 --> 00:35:18,470
neuro-psychological workups,
including PET scans.
724
00:35:18,538 --> 00:35:20,597
We relied on
Dr. Varick completely.
725
00:35:20,673 --> 00:35:24,575
Save that for your press release.
Now, patient number 12.
726
00:35:25,345 --> 00:35:29,179
He showed rapid improvement in
the first weeks of the study.
727
00:35:29,249 --> 00:35:32,218
Dr. Varick was
very enthusiastic.
728
00:35:32,285 --> 00:35:35,482
Sounds like he already knew Alan
was on the experimental drug.
729
00:35:35,555 --> 00:35:37,682
Wasn't this
a double-blind study?
730
00:35:40,359 --> 00:35:42,554
It's possible
Dr. Varick broke
731
00:35:42,628 --> 00:35:45,061
the double-blind code
earlier than he should,
732
00:35:45,129 --> 00:35:46,994
but the results
were so remarkable.
733
00:35:47,064 --> 00:35:48,531
According to Varick.
734
00:35:48,599 --> 00:35:50,897
You're aware the data were collected
by his research assistant?
735
00:35:50,968 --> 00:35:52,367
Of course.
736
00:35:52,803 --> 00:35:55,237
Jill Perry is
eminently qualified.
737
00:35:55,306 --> 00:35:58,207
In fact, we're considering a
grant proposal she submitted.
738
00:35:58,276 --> 00:36:00,244
She's branching out on her own?
Yes.
739
00:36:00,344 --> 00:36:02,278
Soon as the T489
study is complete,
740
00:36:02,346 --> 00:36:05,406
she's taking a position
at Texas Union College.
741
00:36:05,549 --> 00:36:09,952
I'm on a first-name basis with the
Dallas County D.A., Ms. Perry.
742
00:36:10,021 --> 00:36:12,717
You might get away from
Varick, but not from me.
743
00:36:12,790 --> 00:36:16,556
I'm not running from anybody.
Dr. Varick knows I'm leaving.
744
00:36:16,627 --> 00:36:19,118
He even helped me fill out
the grant application.
745
00:36:19,563 --> 00:36:21,791
What?
What's the matter?
746
00:36:21,864 --> 00:36:23,798
Don't you know when
you're being set up?
747
00:36:23,866 --> 00:36:28,633
You signed those evaluations.
He testified he relied on your judgment.
748
00:36:28,704 --> 00:36:31,537
When it hits the fan, he'll duck
and let you take it in the face.
749
00:36:31,607 --> 00:36:34,872
He wouldn't do that.
We both stand behind our work.
750
00:36:35,177 --> 00:36:38,340
With his prestige on the line?
751
00:36:38,414 --> 00:36:40,109
Lt'll be your word against his.
752
00:36:40,716 --> 00:36:41,740
And as you pointed out,
753
00:36:41,817 --> 00:36:43,512
he makes a much better
witness than you do.
754
00:36:43,585 --> 00:36:46,019
Who knows, he might
even convince us.
755
00:36:51,894 --> 00:36:56,058
Two months ago, I told
him Alan was relapsing.
756
00:36:56,765 --> 00:37:00,325
He examined him. He said I was wrong.
Alan was fine.
757
00:37:00,401 --> 00:37:01,561
Was he?
No.
758
00:37:01,636 --> 00:37:05,833
All of his symptoms returned.
The voices, visual hallucinations, the works.
759
00:37:06,406 --> 00:37:08,840
But Dr. Varick kept
him on the T489
760
00:37:08,909 --> 00:37:11,469
and he told me to keep
his evaluations high.
761
00:37:12,112 --> 00:37:13,875
Did he tell you why?
762
00:37:14,014 --> 00:37:17,950
He'd convinced the drug company
Alan was the poster boy for T489.
763
00:37:19,052 --> 00:37:22,510
They were happy and he
wanted to keep them happy.
764
00:37:23,557 --> 00:37:25,821
And keep the grant money flowing.
Hmm.
765
00:37:27,027 --> 00:37:30,224
I felt so sorry for Alan.
He knew the drug wasn't working.
766
00:37:30,297 --> 00:37:32,857
He was so helpless
and so scared.
767
00:37:33,033 --> 00:37:35,228
He thought everyone
was out to get him.
768
00:37:35,835 --> 00:37:38,065
Did he threaten to hurt anyone?
769
00:37:38,871 --> 00:37:39,929
Yes.
770
00:37:41,874 --> 00:37:44,103
He talked about Greg Franklin.
771
00:37:44,976 --> 00:37:49,379
He said he had
orders to kill him.
772
00:37:49,714 --> 00:37:55,744
I told Dr. Varick, but he
didn't think Alan was serious.
773
00:37:56,321 --> 00:37:57,845
What about you?
774
00:38:01,226 --> 00:38:04,457
I just crossed my fingers.
775
00:38:08,299 --> 00:38:09,823
I just talked to Alan's lawyer.
776
00:38:09,901 --> 00:38:12,995
I told him what Jill Perry said.
We have a deal?
777
00:38:13,437 --> 00:38:15,598
Alan goes to criminal
detention at Bellevue.
778
00:38:15,672 --> 00:38:18,607
He doesn't get out until two
doctors of our choosing say so.
779
00:38:18,675 --> 00:38:20,006
Good. Next case.
780
00:38:20,077 --> 00:38:22,045
People v. Christian Varick.
781
00:38:22,112 --> 00:38:24,580
Yeah.
On what charge, perjury?
782
00:38:24,848 --> 00:38:28,078
A violent schizophrenic
threatened to kill Greg Franklin.
783
00:38:28,151 --> 00:38:30,016
Varick knew and did nothing.
784
00:38:30,686 --> 00:38:32,847
He recklessly caused
Greg Franklin's death.
785
00:38:32,922 --> 00:38:34,219
Man two.
786
00:38:34,290 --> 00:38:36,121
I like it.
Pick him up.
787
00:38:40,930 --> 00:38:43,922
The statute's clear, Your Honor.
The defendant has to cause the death.
788
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,194
By being aware of
789
00:38:45,268 --> 00:38:49,830
and consciously disregarding a
substantial and unjustifiable risk.
790
00:38:49,906 --> 00:38:51,202
That's very clear.
791
00:38:51,273 --> 00:38:52,638
There's nothing
reckless here, Jack.
792
00:38:52,707 --> 00:38:54,174
At worst, it's an
error in judgment.
793
00:38:54,242 --> 00:38:55,937
His work is as
much art as science.
794
00:38:56,011 --> 00:38:57,535
It's mostly hubris.
795
00:38:57,612 --> 00:38:58,977
He could've hospitalized Alan,
796
00:38:59,047 --> 00:39:01,948
changed his medication,
warned Greg Franklin.
797
00:39:02,017 --> 00:39:04,577
Instead, he told his research
assistant to falsify records.
798
00:39:04,653 --> 00:39:08,213
I had legitimate reasons for keeping
Alan on the experimental drug.
799
00:39:08,289 --> 00:39:09,551
I was convinced
he'd bounce back.
800
00:39:09,623 --> 00:39:11,523
Your Honor, there are
other remedies available.
801
00:39:11,592 --> 00:39:14,254
The People are trying to
criminalize medical malpractice.
802
00:39:14,328 --> 00:39:16,523
Lawsuits are fine
for Alan Sawyer
803
00:39:16,597 --> 00:39:18,428
and for Greg Franklin's family.
804
00:39:18,499 --> 00:39:21,434
The People are entitled to their
own remedy in this court.
805
00:39:21,502 --> 00:39:23,026
Agreed.
Your Honor,
806
00:39:23,103 --> 00:39:25,401
research is about taking risks.
807
00:39:25,573 --> 00:39:26,938
If you let them
put me on trial,
808
00:39:27,007 --> 00:39:30,134
you will be sending a chill through
the entire scientific community.
809
00:39:30,210 --> 00:39:31,438
It's a risk I'm
willing to take.
810
00:39:31,511 --> 00:39:35,242
Mr. McCoy, is there
any way to work this out?
811
00:39:36,216 --> 00:39:38,343
He pleads to criminally
negligent homicide,
812
00:39:38,418 --> 00:39:40,409
he serves three years,
he gives up his license.
813
00:39:40,487 --> 00:39:44,446
He pleads misdemeanor assault for
withholding care from Mr. Sawyer.
814
00:39:44,524 --> 00:39:46,651
One-year probation.
He keeps his license.
815
00:39:46,726 --> 00:39:48,421
That's unacceptable.
816
00:39:49,061 --> 00:39:50,961
Then I guess I'll
see you all in court.
817
00:39:51,497 --> 00:39:54,489
People's 27.
Alan's evaluations.
818
00:39:55,534 --> 00:39:58,367
Take it to projects
and have it blown up 200%.
819
00:39:58,437 --> 00:40:00,837
200%. How about 500%?
820
00:40:00,906 --> 00:40:02,601
You don't want the jury
to have to squint.
821
00:40:02,674 --> 00:40:04,039
200.
822
00:40:04,109 --> 00:40:06,872
Get used to working
on a budget. Next.
823
00:40:08,312 --> 00:40:12,146
Speaking of...
Varick's research budget. Relevant?
824
00:40:20,691 --> 00:40:22,716
Let me see Alan's file.
825
00:40:25,630 --> 00:40:31,363
Budget line item eight, 32 PET
scans ordered at $1500 a pop.
826
00:40:31,434 --> 00:40:34,494
That's two for every
patient in Varick's study.
827
00:40:40,310 --> 00:40:42,402
No record of any scan here.
828
00:40:43,612 --> 00:40:46,672
Check the summaries
of the other patient files.
829
00:40:47,383 --> 00:40:49,146
No PET scans for any of them.
830
00:40:51,253 --> 00:40:54,689
Either they're missing or they were
never done in the first place.
831
00:40:55,090 --> 00:40:56,557
Talk to Alan.
832
00:40:57,159 --> 00:40:59,525
I think about him, you know.
833
00:41:00,996 --> 00:41:02,520
I see his face.
834
00:41:05,034 --> 00:41:07,628
I can't believe
I did that to someone.
835
00:41:10,205 --> 00:41:12,172
You weren't responsible, Alan.
836
00:41:13,541 --> 00:41:17,978
I'm taking new drugs now.
I don't hear the voices as much.
837
00:41:21,982 --> 00:41:24,883
Do you remember getting a brain scan for Dr.
Varick's study?
838
00:41:24,952 --> 00:41:28,479
A PET scan?
Yeah, sure.
839
00:41:28,622 --> 00:41:30,146
When you first signed
up for the study?
840
00:41:30,223 --> 00:41:36,321
No, later, after the drug started wearing off.
Varick went with me.
841
00:41:36,396 --> 00:41:38,193
Do you remember where you went?
842
00:41:38,265 --> 00:41:39,732
Somewhere on the West Side.
843
00:41:44,404 --> 00:41:46,429
Sawyer, Alan.
844
00:41:50,711 --> 00:41:52,042
This is just a billing receipt.
845
00:41:52,112 --> 00:41:53,544
Don't you have
a copy of the scan?
846
00:41:53,613 --> 00:41:55,774
That's stored in the computer.
Do you mind?
847
00:41:55,848 --> 00:41:56,939
No.
848
00:42:05,890 --> 00:42:08,120
We did a coronal
section of the brain
849
00:42:08,193 --> 00:42:11,356
from the top of the skull
down to the brain stem.
850
00:42:13,565 --> 00:42:15,760
You said this kid was
diagnosed as schizophrenic?
851
00:42:15,834 --> 00:42:16,960
That's right.
852
00:42:18,370 --> 00:42:21,806
Well, this tells me somebody
didn't do their homework.
853
00:42:28,913 --> 00:42:30,175
Sit down.
854
00:42:31,049 --> 00:42:34,949
What's going on, Jack?
This is supposed to be a plea conference.
855
00:42:35,018 --> 00:42:38,351
We'll get to that just as
soon as you take a seat.
856
00:42:39,122 --> 00:42:40,316
We uncovered some new evidence
857
00:42:40,390 --> 00:42:43,120
we just couldn't
wait to tell you about.
858
00:42:50,466 --> 00:42:53,333
This is a PET scan
of Alan's brain.
859
00:42:54,671 --> 00:42:57,731
Which your client ordered
three months into the study.
860
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,934
The same week Jill Perry told
him Alan was in relapse.
861
00:43:02,145 --> 00:43:05,114
Doctor, why don't you tell
us what that red area means?
862
00:43:07,183 --> 00:43:08,980
Come on, Doctor.
863
00:43:10,787 --> 00:43:12,879
I want to hear it from you.
864
00:43:16,991 --> 00:43:20,586
It means that I'm going to die.
865
00:43:23,364 --> 00:43:26,697
I'm not schizophrenic.
I have a tumor.
866
00:43:28,102 --> 00:43:30,332
That's why I heard the voices.
867
00:43:30,471 --> 00:43:33,099
That's why I've
been acting like this.
868
00:43:35,976 --> 00:43:39,571
Alan has a brain tumor, which at
one point may have been operable.
869
00:43:39,647 --> 00:43:41,274
But your client
mistook its effects
870
00:43:41,348 --> 00:43:42,906
for the symptoms
of schizophrenia.
871
00:43:42,983 --> 00:43:44,746
That's why PET scans
are routinely ordered
872
00:43:44,819 --> 00:43:48,277
at the beginning of any research
study into schizophrenia.
873
00:43:50,423 --> 00:43:52,448
But you never ordered them
for any of your patients.
874
00:43:52,525 --> 00:43:54,288
There was a reason for that.
875
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,295
The company wanted to get to
the FDA as soon as possible.
876
00:43:57,363 --> 00:43:58,920
They gave me six months...
Chris, please...
877
00:43:58,997 --> 00:44:00,157
to do the test.
Please...
878
00:44:00,232 --> 00:44:02,462
It took one month to
find the test subjects.
879
00:44:02,534 --> 00:44:04,468
There wasn't time
to do the scans.
880
00:44:04,536 --> 00:44:06,595
But you found the time
881
00:44:06,672 --> 00:44:09,300
when Alan stopped responding
to the medication.
882
00:44:10,809 --> 00:44:13,004
That's when you
found the tumor,
883
00:44:13,078 --> 00:44:15,706
but you never did
nothing about it. Why?
884
00:44:18,550 --> 00:44:20,643
You didn't want anyone to know you
were a hack, isn't that right?
885
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:21,947
All right, come on,
Jack. That's enough.
886
00:44:22,020 --> 00:44:24,545
You bullied your
research assistant,
887
00:44:25,390 --> 00:44:27,823
you defrauded the drug company,
888
00:44:28,259 --> 00:44:30,659
you allowed
a man to be murdered.
889
00:44:33,464 --> 00:44:35,762
You sentenced this boy to death
890
00:44:39,103 --> 00:44:41,662
just to cover up
for your incompetence.
891
00:44:44,875 --> 00:44:47,241
I never...
892
00:44:47,310 --> 00:44:49,835
Chris, for God's
sakes, shut up.
893
00:45:00,724 --> 00:45:04,352
Do you want to know how much
longer they say I have?
894
00:45:08,998 --> 00:45:12,195
A year, maybe two.
895
00:45:16,305 --> 00:45:18,000
You bastard.
896
00:45:18,707 --> 00:45:20,901
You let me kill him.
897
00:45:27,849 --> 00:45:30,044
And now, you've killed me.
898
00:45:42,596 --> 00:45:46,760
When the time comes,
899
00:45:46,834 --> 00:45:49,234
I'm adding another count
to the indictment.
900
00:45:51,705 --> 00:45:55,436
Murder two.
Depraved indifference.
901
00:46:00,113 --> 00:46:04,276
I'm sure Varick's still convinced
of his own competence.
902
00:46:05,585 --> 00:46:09,316
Fact is, he's just an extreme
example of what most of us do.
903
00:46:10,489 --> 00:46:12,252
Everyone cuts corners, Jack.
904
00:46:12,325 --> 00:46:13,656
Maybe where you come from.
905
00:46:14,894 --> 00:46:17,294
I'll read your briefs more
carefully in the future.
906
00:46:19,931 --> 00:46:21,023
What?
907
00:46:23,034 --> 00:46:25,696
I was just wondering if there's
a motorcycle mechanic out there
908
00:46:25,770 --> 00:46:27,897
keeping his fingers crossed.
