1
00:00:01,627 --> 00:00:03,652
In the criminal
justice system,
2
00:00:03,652 --> 00:00:07,631
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups:
3
00:00:07,631 --> 00:00:09,496
The police
who investigate crime,
4
00:00:09,496 --> 00:00:12,365
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:12,365 --> 00:00:14,165
These are their stories.
6
00:00:17,742 --> 00:00:20,336
Whatever it costs, my kids
are going to Catholic school.
7
00:00:20,336 --> 00:00:21,537
You're a Baptist.
8
00:00:21,537 --> 00:00:24,172
I don't care. Those nuns
know how to build character.
9
00:00:24,172 --> 00:00:25,237
Here you go, sweetheart.
10
00:00:25,237 --> 00:00:27,113
You're sure that's
very light, no sugar?
11
00:00:27,113 --> 00:00:28,173
That's what you told me.
12
00:00:28,173 --> 00:00:29,276
It has to be very light.
13
00:00:29,276 --> 00:00:31,479
You let go,
it'll float in the air.
14
00:00:33,723 --> 00:00:36,055
Oh, man. Sometimes I want to
forget I'm married, I swear.
15
00:00:36,055 --> 00:00:38,356
You just like her 'cause
her features are white.
16
00:00:38,356 --> 00:00:40,191
Oh, yeah. That's why
I like you so much.
17
00:00:40,191 --> 00:00:41,230
Oh!
18
00:00:41,230 --> 00:00:43,232
Anything with your coffee,
gentlemen?
19
00:00:43,833 --> 00:00:44,333
Dd
20
00:00:55,844 --> 00:00:57,175
Mr. Decker?
21
00:01:15,096 --> 00:01:16,358
Hello.
22
00:01:18,366 --> 00:01:19,765
Mr. Decker?
23
00:01:22,203 --> 00:01:23,636
Mr. Decker?
24
00:01:43,457 --> 00:01:45,721
Looks like an invited guest.
25
00:01:46,593 --> 00:01:47,718
The door was open,
26
00:01:47,718 --> 00:01:49,283
there was no sign
of forced entry.
27
00:01:50,329 --> 00:01:53,423
My dad said, "Be a cop,
look what you miss out on."
28
00:01:53,423 --> 00:01:55,091
This must be what he meant.
29
00:01:55,091 --> 00:01:56,532
They didn't look like that
in my high school yearbook,
30
00:01:56,532 --> 00:01:58,196
that's for sure.
31
00:01:58,938 --> 00:02:00,735
They didn't sell
your high school yearbook
32
00:02:00,735 --> 00:02:01,932
in Times Square.
33
00:02:04,577 --> 00:02:06,545
What've we got,
a rare scissors collector?
34
00:02:06,545 --> 00:02:07,669
Photographic supplies.
35
00:02:07,669 --> 00:02:09,543
They're just like the ones
in the body.
36
00:02:09,543 --> 00:02:12,777
Listen, when you're done
with this, I want it, okay?
37
00:02:13,251 --> 00:02:14,616
Nice work.
38
00:02:15,253 --> 00:02:17,312
Think she needed any help
getting dressed?
39
00:02:17,312 --> 00:02:19,289
I think you don't
make a detective's salary
40
00:02:19,289 --> 00:02:20,949
for being
a photographer's assistant.
41
00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:22,823
When you're through
looking at that body,
42
00:02:22,823 --> 00:02:24,725
would you mind
taking a look at this one?
43
00:02:24,725 --> 00:02:25,955
The girl who found him
44
00:02:25,955 --> 00:02:27,861
was on her way
to have her picture taken.
45
00:02:27,861 --> 00:02:29,091
This guy told her
46
00:02:29,091 --> 00:02:31,031
that she was gonna be
on a magazine cover.
47
00:02:32,169 --> 00:02:34,330
He was supposed
to work tonight, huh?
48
00:02:34,330 --> 00:02:35,895
In his pajamas?
49
00:02:36,607 --> 00:02:38,006
Call it in.
50
00:04:01,721 --> 00:04:03,779
He made all the girls
bring him coffee.
51
00:04:05,357 --> 00:04:06,551
"Very light."
52
00:04:06,551 --> 00:04:08,752
Could've saved bucks,
he bought his own pot.
53
00:04:08,752 --> 00:04:10,727
Wasrt his money, was it?
54
00:04:10,727 --> 00:04:13,356
I was working
at Bloomingdale's,
55
00:04:13,356 --> 00:04:15,093
you know, spraying
cologne at people
56
00:04:15,093 --> 00:04:16,691
coming off the escalator?
57
00:04:17,269 --> 00:04:19,669
Mr. Decker
gave me his card
58
00:04:19,905 --> 00:04:21,599
before I could spray him.
59
00:04:21,873 --> 00:04:23,807
He said I had good cheekbones.
60
00:04:23,807 --> 00:04:26,002
Makes you Number 467, honey.
61
00:04:26,444 --> 00:04:29,072
He had girls in and out
all hours, all lookers,
62
00:04:29,072 --> 00:04:31,047
some of them two,
three times a day.
63
00:04:31,949 --> 00:04:34,008
The man had
very clean fingernails.
64
00:04:34,008 --> 00:04:36,110
Of course developing fluid,
do it every time.
65
00:04:36,110 --> 00:04:37,586
Or a good manicurist.
66
00:04:37,586 --> 00:04:39,782
No one gets manicures any more.
67
00:04:39,782 --> 00:04:41,448
You catch hepatitis.
68
00:04:41,758 --> 00:04:44,556
Isn't here.
Plenty of prints in the loft.
69
00:04:44,556 --> 00:04:47,153
Twelve usable sets
other than the victim's.
70
00:04:47,153 --> 00:04:49,323
I sent 'em all out. None
of them turned up a record.
71
00:04:49,323 --> 00:04:51,424
Maybe you noticed
we found a pair of scissors.
72
00:04:51,424 --> 00:04:54,197
Good thumb and index finger
at the top of the blade.
73
00:04:54,197 --> 00:04:56,603
Great. Now all we need
is a suspect.
74
00:04:56,603 --> 00:04:58,664
Look for a Black Widow Spider.
75
00:04:59,409 --> 00:05:01,433
Don't they kill their mates
after sex?
76
00:05:01,433 --> 00:05:03,444
Your victim had semen
and vaginal secretions
77
00:05:03,444 --> 00:05:04,877
in his Doctor Dentors.
78
00:05:04,877 --> 00:05:07,677
Okay. We find a woman,
can you make a match?
79
00:05:07,677 --> 00:05:09,411
The DNA in vaginal secretions?
80
00:05:09,411 --> 00:05:12,147
When there's
exfoliated epithelial cells,
81
00:05:12,147 --> 00:05:13,916
which there happen to be.
82
00:05:13,916 --> 00:05:16,184
Figure the guy pulls
his pj's on right after
83
00:05:16,184 --> 00:05:18,055
and just before he was killed.
84
00:05:18,055 --> 00:05:20,026
The samples werert even dry.
85
00:05:20,026 --> 00:05:21,925
You got a very
well-mannered killer here.
86
00:05:21,925 --> 00:05:23,520
Waited till he got dressed.
87
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,463
I'm sure he was grateful.
88
00:05:26,100 --> 00:05:28,432
So where does that get us?
A lovers' quarrel?
89
00:05:28,432 --> 00:05:29,663
After sex?
90
00:05:29,663 --> 00:05:32,035
Most people, you fight
and then have sex.
91
00:05:32,035 --> 00:05:33,300
He's not married.
92
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:35,103
So what is this?
The girlfriend leaves,
93
00:05:35,103 --> 00:05:37,269
he falls asleep,
a burglar wakes him?
94
00:05:37,269 --> 00:05:39,778
And stabs him
in the middle of the loft,
95
00:05:39,778 --> 00:05:41,872
in the back.
No struggle.
96
00:05:41,872 --> 00:05:44,509
I suppose that means
you have a better idea?
97
00:05:46,019 --> 00:05:48,214
He had four appointments
on his calendar.
98
00:05:51,859 --> 00:05:53,850
Julian Decker, huh!
What a loss.
99
00:05:53,850 --> 00:05:55,929
Then you werert
involved with him?
100
00:05:55,929 --> 00:05:58,122
However you mean that,
the answer is no.
101
00:05:58,122 --> 00:06:00,256
I had as little to do
with Julian as possible.
102
00:06:00,256 --> 00:06:02,824
And believe me,
I'd have preferred less.
103
00:06:02,824 --> 00:06:04,961
Do you know who was
involved with him?
104
00:06:04,961 --> 00:06:07,631
This city is full of women
with dreadful taste.
105
00:06:07,631 --> 00:06:09,470
But you're not one of them.
106
00:06:09,470 --> 00:06:11,407
He could smile
the chrome off a fender.
107
00:06:11,407 --> 00:06:13,206
I just didn't want him
around my girls.
108
00:06:13,206 --> 00:06:15,247
All right. So, you werert
working with him.
109
00:06:15,247 --> 00:06:17,577
But why were you his last
appointment yesterday?
110
00:06:17,577 --> 00:06:19,310
In his book, not mine.
111
00:06:19,310 --> 00:06:20,510
He barged in around 5:00.
112
00:06:20,510 --> 00:06:22,177
Wanted me to recommend him
for work.
113
00:06:22,177 --> 00:06:23,653
I asked him to leave.
He did.
114
00:06:23,653 --> 00:06:25,986
Hey, some girls
must've found him attractive.
115
00:06:27,492 --> 00:06:28,618
You'll find my girls
116
00:06:28,618 --> 00:06:30,718
on the covers of Vogue,
Detective.
117
00:06:30,718 --> 00:06:33,764
You'll find Juliars
in catalogue lingerie ads.
118
00:06:33,764 --> 00:06:35,493
Some girls
were interested in him.
119
00:06:35,493 --> 00:06:37,124
But not mine.
120
00:06:39,069 --> 00:06:40,468
Miss Norman?
121
00:06:40,468 --> 00:06:42,869
Gone for three weeks, Barbados.
122
00:06:42,869 --> 00:06:44,874
Saturday morning, first class.
123
00:06:44,874 --> 00:06:46,671
She took six suitcases.
124
00:06:48,445 --> 00:06:50,276
I got her sunscreen
before she left.
125
00:06:50,276 --> 00:06:52,042
Number 15, unscented.
126
00:06:52,042 --> 00:06:53,515
You fold her underwear, too?
127
00:06:53,515 --> 00:06:55,448
I like to be close
to my tenants.
128
00:06:55,448 --> 00:06:56,780
I wonder why.
129
00:06:59,889 --> 00:07:01,652
Didrt that calendar
have a red line
130
00:07:01,652 --> 00:07:03,316
through Clarissa Normars name?
131
00:07:03,316 --> 00:07:05,020
It was won'th checking.
132
00:07:05,020 --> 00:07:06,425
The other two are downtown.
133
00:07:06,425 --> 00:07:09,124
The 11:00 is East 16th,
off Park Avenue South.
134
00:07:09,124 --> 00:07:10,256
Angela Brant.
135
00:07:11,401 --> 00:07:13,995
I was making the rounds,
looking for work.
136
00:07:13,995 --> 00:07:15,263
Julian didn't have any.
137
00:07:15,263 --> 00:07:18,306
Which he told me
after I bought him breakfast.
138
00:07:18,306 --> 00:07:19,397
It seems Mr. Decker
139
00:07:19,397 --> 00:07:21,237
liked to take advantage
of people, huh?
140
00:07:21,910 --> 00:07:23,468
Doesrt everybody?
141
00:07:24,479 --> 00:07:27,710
Look, I'll never
have to buy him coffee again,
142
00:07:28,116 --> 00:07:29,981
but I will miss the work.
143
00:07:30,552 --> 00:07:32,486
How old would you say she is?
144
00:07:34,989 --> 00:07:36,286
Maybe 30.
145
00:07:36,924 --> 00:07:38,357
Try 16.
146
00:07:39,493 --> 00:07:42,087
They do her hair and make-up,
she looks 30.
147
00:07:42,087 --> 00:07:45,599
I'm 38, I haven't looked 30
since I was 20.
148
00:07:46,634 --> 00:07:48,693
It's easy to take
advantage of me.
149
00:07:48,693 --> 00:07:51,829
I wouldn't peg you as
that vulnerable, Miss Brant.
150
00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:55,501
I was a model when I was a kid.
151
00:07:55,501 --> 00:07:57,075
In my senior year
in high school,
152
00:07:57,075 --> 00:07:58,940
I made five times
what my father did
153
00:07:58,940 --> 00:08:00,445
in his hardware store.
154
00:08:00,445 --> 00:08:02,572
All the big agencies wanted me.
155
00:08:03,183 --> 00:08:05,242
Celeste Foxx herself
came around.
156
00:08:06,186 --> 00:08:08,654
Problem is, it doesn't last.
157
00:08:08,654 --> 00:08:10,723
You're still working.
158
00:08:10,723 --> 00:08:12,916
I have a daughter
in private school.
159
00:08:12,916 --> 00:08:15,426
I'll be doing catalogues
from the grave.
160
00:08:15,426 --> 00:08:18,122
Sounds like
you needed Mr. Decker a lot.
161
00:08:18,330 --> 00:08:20,059
Not enough to sleep with him.
162
00:08:20,059 --> 00:08:21,565
You know who did?
163
00:08:22,601 --> 00:08:25,468
I told you, I didn't work
for him that much.
164
00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:28,701
Now, if that's all,
I'm late for aerobics.
165
00:08:28,701 --> 00:08:30,503
Uh, just one more thing,
Miss Brant.
166
00:08:31,943 --> 00:08:33,774
Can you tell us
where you were from, uh,
167
00:08:33,774 --> 00:08:35,938
let's say, 6:00 to
about 8:00 last night?
168
00:08:35,938 --> 00:08:37,106
What?
169
00:08:38,816 --> 00:08:39,942
Hi, kids.
170
00:08:39,942 --> 00:08:41,042
Hi.
171
00:08:41,719 --> 00:08:43,050
What's going on?
172
00:08:43,050 --> 00:08:45,089
I have to go out.
We can discuss it later.
173
00:08:45,089 --> 00:08:46,748
Why don't you go
hang out in your room
174
00:08:46,748 --> 00:08:47,916
for a while, okay?
175
00:08:47,916 --> 00:08:49,550
Okay.
Okay.
176
00:08:51,228 --> 00:08:53,662
I admitted I didn't like him.
177
00:08:54,131 --> 00:08:55,928
Can we finish
this some other time?
178
00:08:55,928 --> 00:08:58,866
Could you just tell us
where you were last night?
179
00:08:59,736 --> 00:09:02,227
I had dinner
with my ex-husband.
180
00:09:02,227 --> 00:09:04,273
Got home around 9:00.
181
00:09:04,273 --> 00:09:06,832
Jeffrey Brant. He's a banker.
182
00:09:08,512 --> 00:09:12,003
Until when? Okay.
Well, thank you, Mr. Brant.
183
00:09:13,482 --> 00:09:15,450
The ex-husband says
that he was with her
184
00:09:15,450 --> 00:09:17,782
from 6:00 until
some time past 8:00.
185
00:09:17,782 --> 00:09:18,911
It's an alibi,
186
00:09:18,911 --> 00:09:21,422
unless she got to
the phone before we did.
187
00:09:21,422 --> 00:09:24,982
Next up, Betty Ann Can'ter,
West 24th.
188
00:09:25,728 --> 00:09:27,525
Want to bet she didn't
like him either?
189
00:09:27,525 --> 00:09:29,153
Look on the bright side.
190
00:09:29,153 --> 00:09:30,561
If we do this all week,
191
00:09:30,561 --> 00:09:32,532
you'll never have
to buy Playboy again.
192
00:09:32,532 --> 00:09:33,726
What are you saying?
193
00:09:33,726 --> 00:09:35,269
I treat all women like objects?
194
00:09:35,269 --> 00:09:37,270
More specific.
Like furniture.
195
00:09:38,173 --> 00:09:40,198
This one, I promise,
I won't even look at her.
196
00:09:42,377 --> 00:09:44,504
What do you want me
to do? Cry?
197
00:09:44,504 --> 00:09:47,776
I'll send a check to
the Dead Photographers' fund.
198
00:09:48,882 --> 00:09:50,543
You did work for him,
Miss Can'ter.
199
00:09:50,543 --> 00:09:53,313
You don't have a bed,
you sleep in the gutter.
200
00:09:53,313 --> 00:09:55,048
I get into shape,
I'm out of catalogues
201
00:09:55,048 --> 00:09:56,680
and back in magazines.
202
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:59,317
You don't look like
you're falling apart.
203
00:09:59,317 --> 00:10:01,691
You should've seen me
at 19, sugar.
204
00:10:01,691 --> 00:10:03,559
Miss Southern Alabama
Cotton Queen.
205
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,325
Without liftir a finger.
206
00:10:05,325 --> 00:10:08,799
Cover of Mademoiselle.
Studio 54 till dawn.
207
00:10:09,202 --> 00:10:11,432
Julian said
that I was finished.
208
00:10:12,071 --> 00:10:15,529
Well, Lauren Huttors past 40.
209
00:10:15,529 --> 00:10:17,838
She works.
I'm still a Size 6.
210
00:10:18,611 --> 00:10:19,942
You'll pardon me,
211
00:10:19,942 --> 00:10:22,480
but if this is what you get
when you're out of work...
212
00:10:22,748 --> 00:10:24,079
Oh, yeah.
213
00:10:24,283 --> 00:10:26,807
Well, used to be owned
by me and Citibank.
214
00:10:26,807 --> 00:10:29,149
Now, just the bank,
and they're sellir it.
215
00:10:29,921 --> 00:10:32,583
Poor Julian,
may he rest in hell.
216
00:10:32,924 --> 00:10:34,585
Who do you think killed him?
217
00:10:34,585 --> 00:10:36,718
We think he had a girlfriend.
218
00:10:36,718 --> 00:10:39,059
Oh. I see.
219
00:10:39,631 --> 00:10:40,996
Last night?
220
00:10:41,466 --> 00:10:43,297
I was on a revolving pedestal
221
00:10:43,297 --> 00:10:45,495
pointir at the kind of yacht
I used to cruise on.
222
00:10:45,495 --> 00:10:47,059
Boat show, the Meadowlands.
223
00:10:47,059 --> 00:10:49,265
Better than what
a lot of girls end up doir.
224
00:10:49,265 --> 00:10:51,399
You mean to supplement
their income.
225
00:10:51,399 --> 00:10:53,375
What do you think you do
when this goes,
226
00:10:53,375 --> 00:10:55,435
and these are
all you have left?
227
00:10:56,747 --> 00:10:58,078
Thank you.
228
00:10:59,650 --> 00:11:02,175
She was on a yacht display
from 3:00 till 10:00.
229
00:11:02,175 --> 00:11:03,515
She didn't get dizzy?
230
00:11:03,515 --> 00:11:05,213
No, she got a break
from 5:00 to 7:00.
231
00:11:05,213 --> 00:11:06,778
The guy doesn't know
where she was.
232
00:11:06,778 --> 00:11:09,017
All right. Well, that's a
half-hour through the tunnel,
233
00:11:09,017 --> 00:11:10,719
and a half-hour back.
234
00:11:10,719 --> 00:11:12,886
That gives her
just enough time.
235
00:11:12,886 --> 00:11:14,554
Not unless she can fly.
236
00:11:14,554 --> 00:11:15,757
I went to see the in-laws,
237
00:11:15,757 --> 00:11:17,800
one of the tubes
was closed in the Lincoln.
238
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,027
Two hours just to get there.
239
00:11:19,027 --> 00:11:20,967
Round-trip in two hours?
No way.
240
00:11:20,967 --> 00:11:23,870
We got no girlfriend. We don't
even know who could've been there.
241
00:11:23,870 --> 00:11:26,271
All we got is a sleazeball
who was begging for work.
242
00:11:26,271 --> 00:11:28,741
Who says the one he had sex
with is the one who killed him?
243
00:11:28,741 --> 00:11:30,710
Wait a minute.
Am I missing something here?
244
00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:32,474
This guy was begging for work?
245
00:11:32,474 --> 00:11:34,982
He even made the girls
buy him coffee.
246
00:11:34,982 --> 00:11:38,315
Expensive camera equipment,
3,000 square feet in Tribeca.
247
00:11:38,315 --> 00:11:40,321
This guy must've been
one heck of a beggar.
248
00:11:40,321 --> 00:11:41,913
Find out how he paid
for his life,
249
00:11:41,913 --> 00:11:44,219
maybe we find out
the reason it's over.
250
00:11:44,219 --> 00:11:45,350
Not much in the loft.
251
00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:47,223
What, there were boxes
of receipts.
252
00:11:47,223 --> 00:11:49,263
And four-year-old tax returns.
253
00:11:49,263 --> 00:11:50,888
Signed by a CPA?
254
00:11:53,067 --> 00:11:54,261
Mr. Decker.
255
00:11:55,536 --> 00:12:00,235
He reported $68,000
gross income last year.
256
00:12:00,675 --> 00:12:02,575
According to
his travel records,
257
00:12:02,575 --> 00:12:05,167
his trips to the islands
cost at least half that.
258
00:12:05,167 --> 00:12:06,872
Those were photo shoots.
259
00:12:06,872 --> 00:12:08,812
That's a legitimate
business deduction.
260
00:12:08,812 --> 00:12:11,510
And his food, and his mortgage,
261
00:12:11,510 --> 00:12:14,247
and his clothes, and
his equipment, and Uncle Sam,
262
00:12:14,247 --> 00:12:16,289
all came out of the rest of it?
263
00:12:16,289 --> 00:12:18,620
Well, I only know
what he reported.
264
00:12:18,620 --> 00:12:21,183
I don't know a thing
about his other income.
265
00:12:21,928 --> 00:12:23,895
If there was any other income.
266
00:12:27,166 --> 00:12:29,600
You like to go to the islands,
too, Mr. O'Hara?
267
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,135
Me? No,
268
00:12:31,437 --> 00:12:33,405
my skin can't take the sun.
269
00:12:33,906 --> 00:12:34,930
That's good,
270
00:12:34,930 --> 00:12:36,668
'cause if you signed
those tax returns
271
00:12:36,668 --> 00:12:38,039
knowing he had other income,
272
00:12:38,039 --> 00:12:40,271
you're gonna be
out of the sun a long time.
273
00:12:44,082 --> 00:12:47,347
Okay, look.
Models have a short life span.
274
00:12:47,347 --> 00:12:49,943
Julian found them other work.
275
00:12:50,555 --> 00:12:52,113
Remember the guy in the diner?
276
00:12:52,113 --> 00:12:53,919
Said girls were going
in and out of there
277
00:12:53,919 --> 00:12:55,391
two, three times a day.
278
00:12:55,391 --> 00:12:56,927
What were they doing,
Mr. O'Hara?
279
00:12:56,927 --> 00:12:58,724
Getting their
graduation photos taken?
280
00:12:58,724 --> 00:13:01,025
Okay. A lot of guys
who'll pay big bucks
281
00:13:01,025 --> 00:13:03,896
to see a girl from the swimsuit
issue without her swimsuit.
282
00:13:03,896 --> 00:13:04,956
So that the guy could
283
00:13:04,956 --> 00:13:06,866
slip into something
more comfortable.
284
00:13:08,372 --> 00:13:10,602
Everybody's a consenting adult.
285
00:13:10,602 --> 00:13:13,142
No harm, no foul, right?
286
00:13:18,582 --> 00:13:21,573
This guy was not only
a photographer, he was a pimp.
287
00:13:21,573 --> 00:13:23,516
Yeah, and where does
that get you?
288
00:13:23,516 --> 00:13:25,349
A john did it?
One of his girls?
289
00:13:25,349 --> 00:13:27,480
We don't know any of
his johns. Or his girls.
290
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,024
Well, you'd better start with
all the models he photographed.
291
00:13:30,024 --> 00:13:31,719
Check their bank accounts.
292
00:13:31,719 --> 00:13:33,352
The cotton queen.
293
00:13:33,863 --> 00:13:35,592
She talked about
what the other girls did
294
00:13:35,592 --> 00:13:36,927
when their faces went.
295
00:13:36,927 --> 00:13:38,796
She didn't mean
they got rich boyfriends.
296
00:13:38,796 --> 00:13:40,391
Rich boyfriends by the hour.
297
00:13:40,391 --> 00:13:42,698
But she didn't know
Decker was a pimp.
298
00:13:42,698 --> 00:13:44,705
Or she didn't want to tell us.
299
00:13:45,807 --> 00:13:47,741
Sure he asked me to do it.
300
00:13:47,741 --> 00:13:51,040
$2,500 a week on my back
instead of $500 on my feet.
301
00:13:51,479 --> 00:13:53,242
Well, it must've been tempting.
302
00:13:53,242 --> 00:13:54,577
Maybe to you.
303
00:13:54,577 --> 00:13:56,446
But, honey,
I don't think you'd survive.
304
00:13:56,446 --> 00:13:59,577
In my experience, cops just
can't perform that often.
305
00:14:00,254 --> 00:14:02,484
So, you never
turned a trick, huh?
306
00:14:02,856 --> 00:14:04,255
Those beauty contests,
307
00:14:04,255 --> 00:14:06,623
some cracker judge
would put his hands on my ass
308
00:14:06,623 --> 00:14:08,525
and offer me more money
than I'd ever seen
309
00:14:08,525 --> 00:14:09,755
to be his date.
310
00:14:09,755 --> 00:14:12,390
I didn't do it then,
I don't do it now.
311
00:14:12,766 --> 00:14:14,495
That doesn't mean
I have any cause
312
00:14:14,495 --> 00:14:15,899
to look down on those who do.
313
00:14:15,899 --> 00:14:17,799
That's real democratic of you.
314
00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:19,394
Well, it's a free country.
315
00:14:19,394 --> 00:14:21,599
At least I don't drink
from the taxpayer's trough,
316
00:14:21,599 --> 00:14:22,971
like some people.
317
00:14:25,211 --> 00:14:27,304
Did Mr. Decker try
to put pressure on you?
318
00:14:27,304 --> 00:14:28,779
Oh, every time I was there.
319
00:14:28,779 --> 00:14:30,213
He'd be at his little computer,
320
00:14:30,213 --> 00:14:32,148
addir up the money
the girls would bring.
321
00:14:32,148 --> 00:14:33,185
But I told him,
322
00:14:33,185 --> 00:14:35,482
"Honey, you can type
till your fingers fall off.
323
00:14:35,482 --> 00:14:37,613
I work vertical
or not at all."
324
00:14:42,194 --> 00:14:44,287
We found files
on Decker's hard drive,
325
00:14:44,287 --> 00:14:45,762
one for each month.
326
00:14:45,762 --> 00:14:47,423
They go back two years.
327
00:14:47,423 --> 00:14:48,989
Trouble is,
they have passwords.
328
00:14:48,989 --> 00:14:50,398
Well, can't you break the code?
329
00:14:50,398 --> 00:14:52,437
Randomly I wouldn't
find the right algorithm
330
00:14:52,437 --> 00:14:53,732
till next summer.
331
00:14:53,732 --> 00:14:55,796
FBI computers could do it.
332
00:14:56,340 --> 00:14:57,671
Six weeks.
333
00:14:57,908 --> 00:14:59,808
Six weeks. Oh, no problem.
Right, Phil?
334
00:14:59,808 --> 00:15:01,242
Our case won't go cold.
335
00:15:01,242 --> 00:15:02,472
What's on the files?
336
00:15:02,472 --> 00:15:04,138
We were hoping hookers.
337
00:15:06,083 --> 00:15:07,846
What would he call them?
338
00:15:07,846 --> 00:15:09,146
Hookers.
339
00:15:14,225 --> 00:15:17,421
Wiseass.
You know the guy's birthday?
340
00:15:19,729 --> 00:15:21,822
November 15, 1959.
341
00:15:27,904 --> 00:15:30,099
Okay, the initials
must be hookers
342
00:15:30,099 --> 00:15:32,164
with dates and dollar amounts.
343
00:15:32,742 --> 00:15:35,403
The names and addresses
must be the johns.
344
00:15:35,878 --> 00:15:39,177
H.D. Gets anywhere
from $750 to $1,000.
345
00:15:39,882 --> 00:15:42,146
She presses your pants
when she's done.
346
00:15:42,146 --> 00:15:44,981
I have a feeling it's more
specialized than that.
347
00:15:44,981 --> 00:15:48,079
R.L. Mostly $200 a shot,
348
00:15:48,079 --> 00:15:50,022
but she doesn't
work Wednesdays.
349
00:15:50,022 --> 00:15:51,525
Choir practice.
350
00:15:51,894 --> 00:15:54,589
A.B. $150 to $300.
351
00:15:55,096 --> 00:15:57,326
J.S., about the same.
352
00:15:58,633 --> 00:16:02,125
A.B.? His second appointment
of the day.
353
00:16:02,125 --> 00:16:04,398
What, Angela what's her name?
354
00:16:06,974 --> 00:16:08,942
Brant. East 16th.
355
00:16:10,411 --> 00:16:14,107
A.B. Could there be
more than one?
356
00:16:14,448 --> 00:16:16,416
She said she was
with her husband, right?
357
00:16:16,416 --> 00:16:17,973
He confirmed it.
358
00:16:17,973 --> 00:16:20,086
Still, it's won'th a shot.
359
00:16:20,921 --> 00:16:23,481
Allan Rohmer. 874,
Third Avenue.
360
00:16:23,481 --> 00:16:25,081
Every Monday at 6:00.
361
00:16:26,793 --> 00:16:28,590
Late Monday afternoon?
362
00:16:28,590 --> 00:16:30,823
I was probably
casting a commercial.
363
00:16:31,431 --> 00:16:33,022
You use the couch?
364
00:16:34,633 --> 00:16:37,067
Only in movies
from the '50s, Detective.
365
00:16:37,067 --> 00:16:38,660
In advertising
we barely have time
366
00:16:38,660 --> 00:16:39,897
to sharpen the pencils.
367
00:16:39,897 --> 00:16:41,701
What did you have time
for Monday night,
368
00:16:41,701 --> 00:16:43,173
let's say around 6:00?
369
00:16:43,843 --> 00:16:45,105
Is this a hobby with you
370
00:16:45,105 --> 00:16:47,407
or are you looking
to change professions?
371
00:16:47,407 --> 00:16:49,209
I was casting
an airline commercial.
372
00:16:49,209 --> 00:16:50,339
I needed stewardesses.
373
00:16:50,339 --> 00:16:53,976
Oh, yeah? Well, fly me.
My initials are A.B.
374
00:16:55,653 --> 00:16:58,451
Do you look for stewardesses
every Monday, Mr. Rohmer?
375
00:17:00,291 --> 00:17:03,351
Look, I, I saw all that
in the Post about Decker,
376
00:17:03,661 --> 00:17:06,129
but what has this
got to do with Angela?
377
00:17:09,300 --> 00:17:10,857
Was Miss Brant here?
378
00:17:10,857 --> 00:17:12,333
Yes. She was very nervous.
379
00:17:12,333 --> 00:17:14,495
She was all worked up.
But you don't think Angela...
380
00:17:14,495 --> 00:17:16,937
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What was she nervous about?
381
00:17:16,937 --> 00:17:18,235
Look, she's a lovely lady.
382
00:17:18,235 --> 00:17:19,900
I like her a lot.
I didn't ask.
383
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:21,911
She sharpen your pencil?
384
00:17:22,145 --> 00:17:23,942
She asked if we could skip it,
385
00:17:23,942 --> 00:17:25,538
she wasrt in the mood.
386
00:17:25,538 --> 00:17:27,982
She was only here
maybe 20 minutes.
387
00:17:28,185 --> 00:17:29,652
So, you're tellir me
388
00:17:29,652 --> 00:17:31,778
she makes a stop
on Third Avenue,
389
00:17:31,778 --> 00:17:34,982
cries on his shoulder,
races downtown,
390
00:17:34,982 --> 00:17:37,025
has sex with Decker
and then kills him?
391
00:17:37,025 --> 00:17:38,685
Well, this was a hooker
and her pimp.
392
00:17:38,685 --> 00:17:41,457
Maybe she wanted to change the
deal. Maybe he wanted to change it.
393
00:17:41,457 --> 00:17:44,261
Maybe she couldn't get over
the slaughter in Yugoslavia.
394
00:17:44,261 --> 00:17:46,631
Well, first she said
she was with her ex-husband.
395
00:17:46,631 --> 00:17:48,602
Then it turns out
she's at the ad agency.
396
00:17:48,602 --> 00:17:51,503
She's breaking the law, Mike.
What do you want her to say?
397
00:17:51,503 --> 00:17:54,041
"Oh, that's right, Officer,
I was out turning tricks."
398
00:17:54,041 --> 00:17:56,134
Now, when did the husband
say he was with her?
399
00:17:56,134 --> 00:17:57,906
He said 6:00 to 8:00.
400
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,641
"Hello, dear. If you don't
want your name in the papers
401
00:18:00,641 --> 00:18:02,979
"when the cops get there,
tell them we had dinner
402
00:18:02,979 --> 00:18:04,348
at 6:00, not 7:00."
403
00:18:04,348 --> 00:18:06,717
So she's a liar. It doesn't
mean she's a killer.
404
00:18:06,717 --> 00:18:08,846
I'd like
to toss her apartment anyway.
405
00:18:08,846 --> 00:18:10,857
Just to see if Decker's blood
shows up.
406
00:18:10,857 --> 00:18:12,449
What are you gonna do
for a warrant?
407
00:18:12,449 --> 00:18:13,993
She has an alibi.
408
00:18:14,361 --> 00:18:16,659
Get a print on her. You may
get a match on the scissors.
409
00:18:16,659 --> 00:18:18,197
We already ran her.
410
00:18:18,197 --> 00:18:20,426
No priors, no civil service.
411
00:18:20,426 --> 00:18:22,468
Well,
wait a minute. Phil,
412
00:18:22,468 --> 00:18:24,197
you remember we were leavir,
413
00:18:24,197 --> 00:18:25,499
she was in a big rush
414
00:18:25,499 --> 00:18:27,040
to go to what,
an aerobics class?
415
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,038
So?
416
00:18:28,038 --> 00:18:29,574
So, she didn't leave
with a bag.
417
00:18:29,574 --> 00:18:31,610
Maybe she's got a locker
at the health club.
418
00:18:31,610 --> 00:18:34,306
Excuse me. You don't have
probable cause for an apartment,
419
00:18:34,306 --> 00:18:35,938
you don't have it
for a gym locker.
420
00:18:35,938 --> 00:18:37,277
What?
The outside of a locker?
421
00:18:37,277 --> 00:18:38,874
There's no expectation
of privacy.
422
00:18:38,874 --> 00:18:41,819
How much privacy can you
expect in a locker room?
423
00:18:45,758 --> 00:18:47,349
Are you sure this is legal?
424
00:18:47,349 --> 00:18:49,451
We have your permission.
That makes it legal.
425
00:18:49,451 --> 00:18:51,155
What if I didn't
give permission?
426
00:18:51,155 --> 00:18:53,356
Then we've to go and get a
warrant, come back tomorrow
427
00:18:53,356 --> 00:18:54,922
and close you down
for a whole day,
428
00:18:54,922 --> 00:18:56,968
instead of just
your locker room for an hour.
429
00:19:00,372 --> 00:19:02,533
Got a pretty good thumb
and index finger.
430
00:19:02,533 --> 00:19:04,041
Let's hope they're a match.
431
00:19:04,041 --> 00:19:05,701
Let's hope they're hers.
432
00:19:06,444 --> 00:19:08,537
Hey, Phil.
You know the warrant
433
00:19:08,537 --> 00:19:11,081
you told that healthclub guy
you'd get?
434
00:19:11,081 --> 00:19:13,810
Exactly what probable cause
did you have in mind?
435
00:19:13,810 --> 00:19:14,873
A senile judge.
436
00:19:14,873 --> 00:19:16,283
First prize, gentlemen.
437
00:19:16,283 --> 00:19:18,549
Which of you gets the Styrofoam
dice for the windshield?
438
00:19:18,549 --> 00:19:19,647
What do you got?
439
00:19:19,647 --> 00:19:21,419
Latent said the prints
from the locker
440
00:19:21,419 --> 00:19:23,619
match the prints on the
scissors from Decker's back.
441
00:19:23,619 --> 00:19:25,593
How about that
for probable cause?
442
00:19:26,296 --> 00:19:28,662
I told you I saw
Julian that morning.
443
00:19:28,662 --> 00:19:29,824
You didn't go back later?
444
00:19:29,824 --> 00:19:32,561
I was with my ex-husband. For
dinner. I told you that, too.
445
00:19:32,561 --> 00:19:34,866
Yeah, you told me your ex
was a banker. That's right.
446
00:19:34,866 --> 00:19:36,633
Not an ad exec on Third Avenue.
447
00:19:36,633 --> 00:19:39,504
I didn't want you to know about
that. My daughter was there.
448
00:19:39,504 --> 00:19:40,941
It's not something
I'm proud of.
449
00:19:40,941 --> 00:19:43,002
And I did see
my husband for dinner.
450
00:19:43,002 --> 00:19:44,477
Phil!
451
00:19:53,455 --> 00:19:55,650
Well, if there's blood
on anything, I don't see it.
452
00:19:55,650 --> 00:19:57,692
Decker had sex with somebody.
453
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,118
You think she got up
and went home
454
00:20:00,118 --> 00:20:01,685
without getting dressed?
455
00:20:03,898 --> 00:20:05,024
What can I tell you?
456
00:20:05,024 --> 00:20:06,930
Her prints are
on the murder weapon.
457
00:20:06,930 --> 00:20:08,969
She admits she was
in the loft that morning.
458
00:20:08,969 --> 00:20:10,368
The underwear, Paul.
459
00:20:10,368 --> 00:20:12,338
The vaginal secretions
match what they found
460
00:20:12,338 --> 00:20:13,635
in Decker's pajamas.
461
00:20:13,635 --> 00:20:15,733
She could've had sex
with him in the morning, too.
462
00:20:15,733 --> 00:20:17,038
No, she couldn't.
463
00:20:17,038 --> 00:20:19,136
The sample
from the pajamas was fresh.
464
00:20:19,136 --> 00:20:20,237
How fresh?
465
00:20:20,237 --> 00:20:22,373
What do you want, a videotape
of her boffir the guy
466
00:20:22,373 --> 00:20:24,417
and then stickir
the scissors in his back?
467
00:20:24,918 --> 00:20:25,942
How fresh?
468
00:20:25,942 --> 00:20:28,613
No more than two hours. It puts
her there when he was killed.
469
00:20:28,613 --> 00:20:29,986
She's a hooker, Paul.
470
00:20:29,986 --> 00:20:31,991
She slept with her pimp,
she got very angry,
471
00:20:31,991 --> 00:20:33,651
and she stabbed him.
472
00:20:33,651 --> 00:20:35,388
Call Eyewitness News.
We've never seen
473
00:20:35,388 --> 00:20:38,090
anything like this
in New York City before.
474
00:20:40,367 --> 00:20:42,163
Okay. Pick her up.
475
00:20:47,139 --> 00:20:50,700
Next case,
"docket number 64931.
476
00:20:50,700 --> 00:20:52,243
"People v. Angela Brant.
477
00:20:52,243 --> 00:20:54,506
The charge is murder
in the second degree."
478
00:20:54,506 --> 00:20:56,548
Miss Green.
Delightful to see you.
479
00:20:56,548 --> 00:20:58,640
You grace my courtroom
so rarely.
480
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,777
Certainly not by choice,
Your Honor.
481
00:21:01,553 --> 00:21:03,714
Tell your client it's time
to say the magic words.
482
00:21:03,714 --> 00:21:06,148
Not guilty.
483
00:21:06,148 --> 00:21:08,021
Your Honor,
with a case this strong,
484
00:21:08,021 --> 00:21:09,924
the People see
a substantial flight risk.
485
00:21:09,924 --> 00:21:11,586
We request $250,000.
486
00:21:11,586 --> 00:21:13,858
The defendant has custody
of her daughter, Your Honor.
487
00:21:13,858 --> 00:21:16,196
High bail would be
a serious hardship.
488
00:21:16,196 --> 00:21:17,700
She should've thought
of her child
489
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:19,669
before she became a prostitute.
490
00:21:19,669 --> 00:21:21,329
Did it ever occur to Your Honor
491
00:21:21,329 --> 00:21:22,997
that some women
become prostitutes
492
00:21:22,997 --> 00:21:25,166
in order
to support their children?
493
00:21:26,210 --> 00:21:27,370
How stupid of me.
494
00:21:27,370 --> 00:21:30,072
God forbid you should
get a regular job.
495
00:21:30,072 --> 00:21:31,739
And let me point out,
Miss Green,
496
00:21:31,739 --> 00:21:35,182
for your next visit,
that's a table, not a soapbox.
497
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,250
Bail is $150,000.
Short date.
498
00:21:39,250 --> 00:21:40,789
In honor of motherhood.
499
00:21:42,125 --> 00:21:43,490
Murder two?
500
00:21:43,490 --> 00:21:45,527
You couldn't convict her
of bad manners.
501
00:21:45,527 --> 00:21:47,495
Depraved indifference
to human life.
502
00:21:47,495 --> 00:21:50,031
A scissors in the back,
I think that qualifies.
503
00:21:50,031 --> 00:21:52,727
I had sex with him.
It doesn't prove I killed him.
504
00:21:52,727 --> 00:21:55,100
Miss Brant,
you lied about being there,
505
00:21:55,100 --> 00:21:56,866
you lied about your alibi,
506
00:21:56,866 --> 00:21:58,497
and even your lawyer
will tell you
507
00:21:58,497 --> 00:22:01,133
that if you lie enough,
juries tend to be suspicious.
508
00:22:01,343 --> 00:22:03,743
Oh, I forgot that section
of the penal law.
509
00:22:03,743 --> 00:22:05,780
Twenty-five years for lying.
510
00:22:07,949 --> 00:22:10,076
Did she lie
about her income, too?
511
00:22:10,076 --> 00:22:12,848
Or are you changing
your standards at legal aid?
512
00:22:12,848 --> 00:22:15,185
Oh, no, no, no, no.
She's just flatbacking
513
00:22:15,185 --> 00:22:17,725
until she can liquidate
a major position at IBM.
514
00:22:17,725 --> 00:22:19,089
She's going to pay us back.
515
00:22:19,089 --> 00:22:22,561
Meanwhile. The fingerprints?
Meaningless.
516
00:22:22,797 --> 00:22:24,697
And there's
a little rumor going around
517
00:22:24,697 --> 00:22:26,926
that your DNA match
to my client
518
00:22:26,926 --> 00:22:28,298
is less than perfect.
519
00:22:28,298 --> 00:22:30,303
You shouldn't even
be going to trial.
520
00:22:30,303 --> 00:22:32,737
If we had perfect cases,
we wouldn't need juries.
521
00:22:32,737 --> 00:22:33,899
And less than perfect
522
00:22:33,899 --> 00:22:36,135
certainly doesn't change
my job description.
523
00:22:36,135 --> 00:22:38,200
I'll tell the jury
she's on trial
524
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,178
because prostitutes
are easy targets.
525
00:22:40,178 --> 00:22:43,113
She was used by her johns,
abused by her pimp,
526
00:22:43,113 --> 00:22:45,117
and desperate to
support her daughter.
527
00:22:45,117 --> 00:22:47,619
What am I hearing?
A prostitute's manifesto?
528
00:22:47,619 --> 00:22:49,951
Hookers of the world unite,
kill your oppressors?
529
00:22:49,951 --> 00:22:52,457
I'm not ashamed of who I am.
I don't need his contempt.
530
00:22:52,457 --> 00:22:53,617
Angela, wait.
531
00:22:53,617 --> 00:22:54,785
Look-it.
532
00:22:54,785 --> 00:22:56,419
Julian Decker
was primeval slime
533
00:22:56,419 --> 00:22:57,621
and killing him
534
00:22:57,621 --> 00:22:59,823
was like using penicillin
to kill the clap.
535
00:22:59,823 --> 00:23:02,059
Miss Brant,
I'm not sure your resume
536
00:23:02,059 --> 00:23:03,658
entitles you to that judgment.
537
00:23:03,658 --> 00:23:04,895
Right.
538
00:23:07,206 --> 00:23:08,764
You want to do this, Stone?
539
00:23:08,764 --> 00:23:10,331
I'll clean your clock.
540
00:23:10,331 --> 00:23:13,936
When I'm through, you won't
even care what time it is.
541
00:23:19,650 --> 00:23:21,413
She practically
admitted killing him
542
00:23:21,413 --> 00:23:22,747
and dared us to convict.
543
00:23:22,747 --> 00:23:24,253
And maybe you'll lose.
544
00:23:24,253 --> 00:23:25,846
Who said hookers were dumb?
545
00:23:25,846 --> 00:23:27,584
Dumb enough
not to wash her underwear.
546
00:23:27,584 --> 00:23:29,319
And dumb enough
to leave prints.
547
00:23:29,319 --> 00:23:31,793
You have no motive.
She has an alibi.
548
00:23:31,793 --> 00:23:34,229
Shambala Green says
pity the poor prostitute,
549
00:23:34,229 --> 00:23:36,162
she's supporting her child,
550
00:23:36,162 --> 00:23:38,292
and by the way,
everybody hated him,
551
00:23:38,292 --> 00:23:39,801
my client didn't do it.
552
00:23:39,801 --> 00:23:41,030
You get no conviction.
553
00:23:41,030 --> 00:23:43,197
We can put her there
at the time of the murder.
554
00:23:43,197 --> 00:23:45,264
With our excellent lab results.
555
00:23:45,264 --> 00:23:47,333
What, you think Green
can get this suppressed?
556
00:23:47,333 --> 00:23:49,844
Brant's DNA
is an 80 percent match
557
00:23:49,844 --> 00:23:51,938
to the vaginal secretions
in the pajamas.
558
00:23:51,938 --> 00:23:54,278
Her ex-husband says
he was with her.
559
00:23:54,278 --> 00:23:55,977
Okay, it's not a walk
in the park.
560
00:23:55,977 --> 00:23:58,542
Yes, it is.
You're gonna get mugged.
561
00:23:59,288 --> 00:24:00,880
Break the womars alibi.
562
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,514
Well, what did the husband say?
563
00:24:02,514 --> 00:24:05,355
Delia's restaurant,
in the Village, having dinner.
564
00:24:05,355 --> 00:24:08,328
Let's see if somebody
remembers if they were there.
565
00:24:11,267 --> 00:24:12,894
The cashier remembered Angela.
566
00:24:12,894 --> 00:24:14,525
He saw her picture
in the papers.
567
00:24:14,525 --> 00:24:16,331
God bless the fourth estate.
568
00:24:16,331 --> 00:24:17,735
Does he remember
when they left?
569
00:24:17,735 --> 00:24:19,830
Well, she and her
ex-husband had an argument.
570
00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:21,432
Stalked out
just after they ordered.
571
00:24:21,432 --> 00:24:22,976
Long before 8:00.
572
00:24:23,378 --> 00:24:25,539
He could've been with her
the rest of the night.
573
00:24:25,539 --> 00:24:27,171
Yeah, if they
patched it up quick.
574
00:24:27,171 --> 00:24:28,510
The cashier was at the window.
575
00:24:28,510 --> 00:24:30,551
Says they walked off
in opposite directions.
576
00:24:30,551 --> 00:24:32,983
Let's go find out
what the husband remembers.
577
00:24:35,222 --> 00:24:37,747
Angela always says that.
Like I work on Wall Street.
578
00:24:38,659 --> 00:24:41,651
I'm a loan officer. She likes
the sound of "banker."
579
00:24:42,763 --> 00:24:44,287
Look, uh,
580
00:24:44,498 --> 00:24:47,626
I don't really remember
when we finished dinner.
581
00:24:48,835 --> 00:24:50,325
You don't remember.
582
00:24:50,771 --> 00:24:52,601
The cashier remembers
the shouting started
583
00:24:52,601 --> 00:24:53,798
before the entrée.
584
00:25:00,780 --> 00:25:03,772
We had a disagreement, okay?
585
00:25:04,350 --> 00:25:06,648
Angela wanted
more child support.
586
00:25:07,186 --> 00:25:08,710
When you argue
about child support,
587
00:25:08,710 --> 00:25:11,381
do you usually
stalk out of the restaurant?
588
00:25:12,223 --> 00:25:16,683
She said Decker
was gouging her on her fees.
589
00:25:17,929 --> 00:25:19,829
You knew she was a prostitute?
590
00:25:20,365 --> 00:25:22,595
Yeah, I knew about Angela.
591
00:25:22,595 --> 00:25:25,258
But my daughter didn't,
and I didn't want her to.
592
00:25:25,258 --> 00:25:26,361
You also told the police
593
00:25:26,361 --> 00:25:28,099
you were with her
from 6:00 to 8:00.
594
00:25:29,107 --> 00:25:31,301
In court,
that's called perjury.
595
00:25:35,312 --> 00:25:38,804
I got a wife,
two kids besides Tracy.
596
00:25:39,049 --> 00:25:41,609
Does everybody have to be
dragged into this?
597
00:25:41,609 --> 00:25:44,449
Then, let's say,
let's say I wasrt with her.
598
00:25:45,356 --> 00:25:47,221
Can we just leave it at that?
599
00:25:48,092 --> 00:25:50,423
Let's say you'll testify,
600
00:25:50,827 --> 00:25:53,352
or you'll be reading
a contempt citation.
601
00:26:02,572 --> 00:26:03,937
She called.
602
00:26:05,375 --> 00:26:07,866
She was in a panic. She said
the cops had just been there.
603
00:26:07,866 --> 00:26:11,037
She asked me to say
I was with her.
604
00:26:13,315 --> 00:26:14,976
She got into a cab.
605
00:26:16,084 --> 00:26:18,314
Around 7:00 at the latest.
606
00:26:25,394 --> 00:26:27,089
I knew Angela to say hello.
607
00:26:27,089 --> 00:26:29,994
I used to see her
at Juliars. Mr. Decker's.
608
00:26:30,364 --> 00:26:32,025
Did she ever share her feelings
609
00:26:32,025 --> 00:26:33,293
about Mr. Decker with you?
610
00:26:33,293 --> 00:26:35,528
Objection. Calls for hearsay.
611
00:26:35,528 --> 00:26:38,299
Offered for the defendant's
state of mind, Your Honor.
612
00:26:38,299 --> 00:26:40,363
Overruled.
Go on, Miss Can'ter.
613
00:26:41,208 --> 00:26:43,369
Angela said she wanted
to warn me about him.
614
00:26:43,369 --> 00:26:45,344
She was having
some trouble with her bills,
615
00:26:45,344 --> 00:26:47,176
her daughter
is in private school.
616
00:26:47,176 --> 00:26:49,078
Mr. Decker loaned her
some money
617
00:26:49,078 --> 00:26:51,481
and told her that she could
make it up on a shoot.
618
00:26:51,481 --> 00:26:52,779
When she didn't get any work,
619
00:26:52,779 --> 00:26:54,444
he told her
that she could make it up
620
00:26:54,444 --> 00:26:55,647
on her back.
621
00:26:56,056 --> 00:26:58,820
And what was the defendant's
reaction to that?
622
00:26:59,426 --> 00:27:02,020
Well, she was angry.
She told me she felt trapped.
623
00:27:02,020 --> 00:27:04,655
She had to pay him
and she needed more money.
624
00:27:04,655 --> 00:27:07,062
Thank you. Your witness.
625
00:27:13,005 --> 00:27:14,768
When did this happen?
626
00:27:14,768 --> 00:27:18,139
Miss Brant feeling that she'd
been trapped by Mr. Decker?
627
00:27:18,811 --> 00:27:21,177
Uh, six, seven months ago.
628
00:27:21,177 --> 00:27:23,940
So she was angry
seven months ago.
629
00:27:24,483 --> 00:27:27,781
Did you ever hear Miss Brant
threaten to kill Mr. Decker?
630
00:27:27,781 --> 00:27:30,286
No. She never said
a thing like that.
631
00:27:30,688 --> 00:27:33,418
What were your feelings
toward Mr. Decker?
632
00:27:34,325 --> 00:27:37,317
Well,
like a lot of people, I...
633
00:27:41,299 --> 00:27:43,358
Actually I'd say
I hated Julian Decker
634
00:27:43,358 --> 00:27:45,094
and I hope he rots in hell.
635
00:27:47,070 --> 00:27:48,230
Thank you.
636
00:27:48,872 --> 00:27:50,772
No further questions.
637
00:27:52,542 --> 00:27:55,136
I didn't ask Angela
if she'd killed him.
638
00:27:55,136 --> 00:27:57,237
I mean, it was on the phone,
639
00:27:57,848 --> 00:27:59,975
and I really
didn't want to know.
640
00:27:59,975 --> 00:28:02,075
Did Miss Brant tell you
about her conversation
641
00:28:02,075 --> 00:28:03,449
with the police?
642
00:28:04,487 --> 00:28:06,284
She thought they'd call me.
643
00:28:06,284 --> 00:28:09,222
She wanted me to say that
I was with her until 8:00.
644
00:28:09,222 --> 00:28:11,486
She said that
if I told the truth,
645
00:28:12,061 --> 00:28:14,154
we'd all get our names
in the papers.
646
00:28:14,154 --> 00:28:16,425
It'd be bad for me,
my wife, my kids,
647
00:28:16,425 --> 00:28:18,626
our daughter Tracy.
All of us.
648
00:28:20,136 --> 00:28:22,331
Thank you.
No further questions.
649
00:28:29,410 --> 00:28:31,537
You and your ex-wife
hardly spoke, Mr. Brant.
650
00:28:31,537 --> 00:28:33,012
Why was that?
651
00:28:35,150 --> 00:28:37,050
The way Angela lives.
652
00:28:38,219 --> 00:28:41,017
It doesn't fit
the life I have now.
653
00:28:41,589 --> 00:28:43,818
What about your life
six years ago?
654
00:28:45,192 --> 00:28:47,160
We didn't have one.
We were divorced.
655
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,162
I meant the custody suit
over your daughter Tracy.
656
00:28:50,364 --> 00:28:51,854
The suit you lost.
657
00:28:51,854 --> 00:28:53,456
I didn't lose. I withdrew.
658
00:28:53,456 --> 00:28:56,367
You told the police you were
with your ex-wife that night.
659
00:28:56,367 --> 00:28:57,733
Now you say you werert.
660
00:28:57,733 --> 00:29:00,864
Now, in fact, isn't your
entire testimony today a lie?
661
00:29:00,864 --> 00:29:02,840
Werert you with Angela Brant
662
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:04,501
the night
Julian Decker was killed?
663
00:29:04,501 --> 00:29:06,374
Objection.
Asked and answered.
664
00:29:06,374 --> 00:29:07,844
Sustained.
665
00:29:16,222 --> 00:29:18,213
Would you prefer
to see your ex-wife convicted
666
00:29:18,213 --> 00:29:20,259
if it meant getting custody
of your daughter?
667
00:29:20,259 --> 00:29:21,314
Objection.
668
00:29:21,314 --> 00:29:23,156
In fact, won't you do
just about anything
669
00:29:23,156 --> 00:29:24,559
to get custody
of your daughter?
670
00:29:24,559 --> 00:29:25,994
She's badgering the witness.
671
00:29:25,994 --> 00:29:28,032
Miss Green, that's enough.
672
00:29:29,834 --> 00:29:31,199
Withdrawn.
673
00:29:32,470 --> 00:29:34,062
No further questions.
674
00:29:35,941 --> 00:29:39,069
A custody case? I can't even
think of a better reason to lie.
675
00:29:39,069 --> 00:29:40,735
That was six years ago, Adam.
676
00:29:40,735 --> 00:29:42,210
He has a new wife, new kids.
677
00:29:42,210 --> 00:29:43,473
He wouldn't want custody.
678
00:29:43,473 --> 00:29:45,538
Is that what a jury thinks?
679
00:29:45,983 --> 00:29:47,575
As a reason
to put your wife in jail,
680
00:29:47,575 --> 00:29:50,381
custody of a child
is the ultimate motive.
681
00:29:50,988 --> 00:29:52,114
Who prepped the husband?
682
00:29:52,114 --> 00:29:53,679
I did.
He never mentioned it.
683
00:29:53,679 --> 00:29:55,315
Bring in the rest
of your witnesses.
684
00:29:55,315 --> 00:29:57,952
Go over their testimony.
No more surprises.
685
00:29:58,862 --> 00:30:00,192
Thank you.
686
00:30:05,134 --> 00:30:06,829
Miss Green has
just filed a motion
687
00:30:06,829 --> 00:30:08,837
to suppress your DNA evidence.
688
00:30:09,239 --> 00:30:12,106
Should've been pre-trial.
Judge Baum will ignore it.
689
00:30:12,106 --> 00:30:14,166
No court in the country
rejects DNA.
690
00:30:14,166 --> 00:30:16,007
Until this afternoon.
691
00:30:16,846 --> 00:30:19,405
Judge Lucas, down the hall
from Judge Baum.
692
00:30:19,405 --> 00:30:22,314
Rejected our DNA tests
in the Gelman murder.
693
00:30:22,818 --> 00:30:24,649
You better hope that Judge Baum
694
00:30:24,649 --> 00:30:27,086
doesn't play bridge
with Judge Lucas.
695
00:30:27,322 --> 00:30:30,120
This is absurd. She should've
made this motion weeks ago.
696
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,524
Judge Lucas just
changed the picture.
697
00:30:32,524 --> 00:30:34,858
The DNA sample in the Gelman
case was contaminated.
698
00:30:34,858 --> 00:30:35,988
Ours isn't.
699
00:30:35,988 --> 00:30:38,224
Could we look
at the law, please?
700
00:30:38,224 --> 00:30:40,790
The standard
is Frye v. United States.
701
00:30:41,135 --> 00:30:43,433
"The evidence must
have gained general acceptance
702
00:30:43,433 --> 00:30:45,301
in the field in which
it belongs."
703
00:30:45,301 --> 00:30:47,398
We don't have
general acceptance.
704
00:30:47,398 --> 00:30:49,602
Six months ago the National
Academy of Sciences
705
00:30:49,602 --> 00:30:52,305
said DNA tests
are questionable.
706
00:30:52,305 --> 00:30:54,848
They said the labs were
questionable, not the tests.
707
00:30:54,848 --> 00:30:57,576
Juries treat science like God.
708
00:30:57,576 --> 00:30:59,551
Especially from police experts.
709
00:30:59,551 --> 00:31:01,951
Pardon me,
I do the lecturing here.
710
00:31:02,555 --> 00:31:04,682
You tested
the vaginal secretions
711
00:31:04,682 --> 00:31:06,316
against the defendant's DNA.
712
00:31:06,316 --> 00:31:08,327
You got an 80 percent match.
713
00:31:08,528 --> 00:31:11,691
The sample was fresh,
why isn't the match perfect?
714
00:31:12,132 --> 00:31:13,724
Nothing's perfect.
715
00:31:13,967 --> 00:31:16,128
What is that,
philosophy or law?
716
00:31:17,336 --> 00:31:19,702
This evidence
should be admissible.
717
00:31:20,172 --> 00:31:22,106
But I'm no expert.
718
00:31:22,106 --> 00:31:23,869
The scientists can't agree.
719
00:31:23,869 --> 00:31:25,409
Your Honor,
with all due respect...
720
00:31:25,409 --> 00:31:27,502
I hope you'll respect me
in the morning.
721
00:31:27,502 --> 00:31:31,071
But I'm going to have to rule
the DNA is not admissible.
722
00:31:31,550 --> 00:31:34,485
You want to put the defendant
at the murder scene, Ben,
723
00:31:34,485 --> 00:31:36,315
find another way to do it.
724
00:31:41,426 --> 00:31:43,087
Judge Baum is an idiot.
725
00:31:43,087 --> 00:31:45,129
Stuff envelopes
for the county leader,
726
00:31:45,129 --> 00:31:46,754
you, too, can ascend
to the bench.
727
00:31:46,754 --> 00:31:47,763
No DNA.
728
00:31:47,763 --> 00:31:49,823
If we don't put her there
at the time of the murder,
729
00:31:49,823 --> 00:31:51,368
the jury'll be out
in five minutes.
730
00:31:51,368 --> 00:31:52,630
You'll never get to the jury.
731
00:31:52,630 --> 00:31:54,171
We're looking at a dismissal.
732
00:31:54,171 --> 00:31:56,034
Who saw your victim last?
733
00:31:56,034 --> 00:31:57,664
The modeling agency, Foxx.
734
00:31:57,664 --> 00:31:59,834
Did Decker say anything
to put Angela with him
735
00:31:59,834 --> 00:32:01,639
later that day?
Did we ask?
736
00:32:01,639 --> 00:32:03,907
We werert planning
on calling her as a witness.
737
00:32:03,907 --> 00:32:05,777
Let's ask her. Personally.
738
00:32:07,351 --> 00:32:10,377
If he was seeing Angela,
he wouldn't have told me.
739
00:32:11,154 --> 00:32:13,054
Frankly, I'm surprised.
740
00:32:13,490 --> 00:32:15,582
She's a little old for Julian.
741
00:32:16,892 --> 00:32:18,757
Sounds like you almost
feel sorry for her.
742
00:32:18,757 --> 00:32:20,261
I almost do.
743
00:32:20,261 --> 00:32:21,956
I'm sorrier for her daughter.
744
00:32:21,956 --> 00:32:24,261
She wants to be
just like Angela.
745
00:32:24,261 --> 00:32:26,597
Brought in her own portfolio,
taken by Decker.
746
00:32:26,597 --> 00:32:28,136
She doesn't have
her mother's legs.
747
00:32:28,136 --> 00:32:29,762
Podgy. Bad legs.
748
00:32:29,762 --> 00:32:31,136
The daughter?
749
00:32:31,136 --> 00:32:32,936
She had her pictures
taken by Decker?
750
00:32:32,936 --> 00:32:35,532
Tracy said her mother
encouraged her.
751
00:32:36,311 --> 00:32:38,142
A little hard to believe.
752
00:32:39,180 --> 00:32:40,613
Who would know?
753
00:32:41,449 --> 00:32:43,974
Tracy's friends, maybe.
Her school, Miss Harker's.
754
00:32:43,974 --> 00:32:45,349
I went there myself.
755
00:32:45,349 --> 00:32:48,514
On career day, six girls
handed me their portfolios.
756
00:32:49,557 --> 00:32:51,525
How much does
something like that cost?
757
00:32:51,525 --> 00:32:54,527
$1,500 minimum.
Even from Decker.
758
00:32:55,863 --> 00:32:58,388
It makes one wonder
why he did Tracy's.
759
00:32:58,665 --> 00:33:01,463
Tracy always bragged
about her older boyfriend.
760
00:33:01,463 --> 00:33:05,198
The fashion photographer.
Tracy was gonna be a star.
761
00:33:05,198 --> 00:33:07,934
The next Cindy Crawford.
Just like her mother.
762
00:33:07,934 --> 00:33:09,908
Tracy's pretty,
she could be a model.
763
00:33:09,908 --> 00:33:11,604
If they shot her
from the waist up.
764
00:33:11,604 --> 00:33:13,144
Those legs!
765
00:33:13,144 --> 00:33:14,702
She could do fingernail ads.
766
00:33:16,048 --> 00:33:18,676
If a big fashion photographer
came on to me,
767
00:33:18,676 --> 00:33:20,343
I'd be interested.
768
00:33:20,887 --> 00:33:23,287
Did Tracy's mother know
about this boyfriend?
769
00:33:23,287 --> 00:33:25,950
They had a fight on
the sidewalk, right outside.
770
00:33:25,950 --> 00:33:28,152
Mrs. Brant
found her portfolio.
771
00:33:28,152 --> 00:33:30,957
Mrs. Brant thought
something else was going on.
772
00:33:32,164 --> 00:33:33,563
Do you know what she meant?
773
00:33:33,563 --> 00:33:35,122
They were in love.
774
00:33:35,467 --> 00:33:37,662
And we're 15, not 12.
775
00:33:39,337 --> 00:33:41,328
The mother knew about
Decker and her daughter?
776
00:33:41,328 --> 00:33:42,498
Yeah, it's motive.
777
00:33:42,498 --> 00:33:44,667
But it doesn't put Brant
in the loft that night.
778
00:33:44,667 --> 00:33:46,210
The kids never
heard Decker's name
779
00:33:46,210 --> 00:33:48,644
or saw the daughter with him.
It's all hearsay.
780
00:33:48,644 --> 00:33:50,737
What's the problem?
Put the daughter on the stand.
781
00:33:50,737 --> 00:33:52,214
Whatever she knows, she'll lie.
782
00:33:52,214 --> 00:33:54,615
It gives us leverage on Brant,
might get us a deal.
783
00:33:54,615 --> 00:33:56,983
So get a subpoena
for the daughter to testify.
784
00:33:59,223 --> 00:34:01,282
Her testimony isn't relevant.
785
00:34:01,282 --> 00:34:02,689
You'll never get it in.
786
00:34:02,689 --> 00:34:04,853
Last time I looked,
motive was relevant.
787
00:34:04,853 --> 00:34:06,021
This is a homicide,
788
00:34:06,021 --> 00:34:08,257
even Judge Baum
won't keep her off the stand.
789
00:34:08,257 --> 00:34:10,526
Do you know what this will do
to my daughter?
790
00:34:10,526 --> 00:34:12,659
I don't think it's a lot worse
than what you did.
791
00:34:12,659 --> 00:34:14,532
Man two, three to nine.
792
00:34:14,532 --> 00:34:15,832
What does that mean?
793
00:34:15,832 --> 00:34:17,532
It means they're desperate.
794
00:34:17,532 --> 00:34:20,474
Miss Green is wrong. It means
three to nine years in jail.
795
00:34:20,474 --> 00:34:21,737
We're not interested.
796
00:34:21,737 --> 00:34:22,800
Maybe I am.
797
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,278
Come on, Angela, let's go.
798
00:34:24,278 --> 00:34:26,975
It's not won'th it.
I've ruined my life,
799
00:34:26,975 --> 00:34:29,210
I don't want
to ruin Tracy's, too.
800
00:34:31,453 --> 00:34:32,647
Angela, trust me,
801
00:34:32,647 --> 00:34:34,655
Tracy will never
take the stand.
802
00:34:34,655 --> 00:34:36,088
You're misleading your client.
803
00:34:36,088 --> 00:34:37,625
You're misleading yourself.
804
00:34:37,625 --> 00:34:39,627
I'll see you at the hearing.
805
00:34:44,566 --> 00:34:47,057
This meets no standard
of relevance.
806
00:34:47,057 --> 00:34:48,795
It's a fishing expedition.
807
00:34:48,795 --> 00:34:50,167
The defendant was angry
808
00:34:50,167 --> 00:34:52,399
about her daughter's
involvement with the victim.
809
00:34:52,399 --> 00:34:53,462
It goes to motive.
810
00:34:53,462 --> 00:34:54,940
Motive? It's a theory.
811
00:34:54,940 --> 00:34:57,102
Last week she killed him
over money.
812
00:34:57,102 --> 00:34:58,304
Now it's her daughter.
813
00:34:58,304 --> 00:35:00,540
Next week it'll be
whatever new motive
814
00:35:00,540 --> 00:35:03,175
you dream up over lunch
at the University Club.
815
00:35:03,175 --> 00:35:04,843
Ben, the standard
816
00:35:04,843 --> 00:35:07,648
is whether the testimony
is relevant or collateral.
817
00:35:07,648 --> 00:35:09,780
You don't know if it's
relevant and neither do I.
818
00:35:09,780 --> 00:35:10,880
Thank you.
819
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,925
Don't buy me an apple yet,
Miss Green.
820
00:35:12,925 --> 00:35:14,790
I'll question the girl
in chambers
821
00:35:14,790 --> 00:35:16,726
and then make a decision.
822
00:35:16,726 --> 00:35:19,458
Relevance aside, Your Honor,
the girl's in trauma.
823
00:35:19,458 --> 00:35:21,364
She's seeing a psychiatrist.
824
00:35:21,364 --> 00:35:23,095
An interview
at this point is...
825
00:35:23,095 --> 00:35:25,729
Fine, I'll order
a psychiatric exam.
826
00:35:25,729 --> 00:35:27,499
By my psychiatrist.
827
00:35:27,499 --> 00:35:28,972
With me present.
828
00:35:28,972 --> 00:35:30,599
For you, Miss Green, anything.
829
00:35:30,599 --> 00:35:32,803
This court orders
a psychiatric exam
830
00:35:32,803 --> 00:35:36,405
of Tracy Brant
with defense counsel present.
831
00:35:39,752 --> 00:35:41,720
I was with my mom.
832
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:43,755
It... It was
a catalogue shoot.
833
00:35:44,156 --> 00:35:45,952
Julian saw me,
he liked me.
834
00:35:45,952 --> 00:35:49,187
He said I had great coloring,
better than Mom's.
835
00:35:50,161 --> 00:35:52,459
I had a chance
even if she didn't.
836
00:35:53,131 --> 00:35:54,189
Did your mom know
837
00:35:54,189 --> 00:35:55,994
that you were sleeping
with Julian?
838
00:35:59,637 --> 00:36:01,798
She found
some pictures he took.
839
00:36:03,441 --> 00:36:05,374
I didn't have any clothes on.
840
00:36:06,376 --> 00:36:08,003
What did your mom do?
841
00:36:09,813 --> 00:36:12,247
She told me
not to see him again.
842
00:36:13,016 --> 00:36:15,416
She said I'd end up
as a prostitute.
843
00:36:15,819 --> 00:36:17,810
She had no right to say that.
844
00:36:18,956 --> 00:36:21,117
You continued to see Julian.
845
00:36:23,527 --> 00:36:24,823
I had to.
846
00:36:27,229 --> 00:36:28,662
I needed him.
847
00:36:31,067 --> 00:36:33,865
Was Julian the first man
you'd had sex with?
848
00:36:37,506 --> 00:36:39,337
He was experienced.
849
00:36:41,210 --> 00:36:42,871
He made me feel safe.
850
00:36:46,014 --> 00:36:48,346
Do you think your mom
killed him because of you?
851
00:36:48,346 --> 00:36:50,213
Out of bounds, Doc.
852
00:36:50,685 --> 00:36:52,414
Don't answer that, Tracy.
853
00:36:55,357 --> 00:36:58,588
Tracy, how did your mom
feel about you being a model?
854
00:37:00,962 --> 00:37:03,020
She said it was a bad life.
855
00:37:04,365 --> 00:37:06,492
But it was just
too hard for her.
856
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,792
She didn't want it bad enough.
She wasrt dedicated.
857
00:37:11,972 --> 00:37:13,269
But I am.
858
00:37:17,277 --> 00:37:19,245
It's what everybody wants.
859
00:37:20,014 --> 00:37:21,379
My friends.
860
00:37:23,916 --> 00:37:26,407
To have everybody think
you're beautiful.
861
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,683
Fifteen years old,
862
00:37:29,683 --> 00:37:31,587
she seemed fairly
self-possessed to me.
863
00:37:31,587 --> 00:37:33,558
Too self-possessed.
Did you hear her?
864
00:37:33,558 --> 00:37:34,991
A scared child
865
00:37:34,991 --> 00:37:36,392
afraid of her mother
one minute.
866
00:37:36,392 --> 00:37:38,794
A tough kid, contemptuous
of her mother the next.
867
00:37:38,794 --> 00:37:41,095
You saying
she shouldn't testify?
868
00:37:41,095 --> 00:37:43,691
There's something missing
with this girl.
869
00:37:44,236 --> 00:37:46,761
Tracy Brant's life
was bound up in this man.
870
00:37:46,761 --> 00:37:49,534
Everything she wanted, Julian
Decker would get it for her.
871
00:37:49,534 --> 00:37:51,974
If her mother killed him,
she should be enraged.
872
00:37:51,974 --> 00:37:53,238
She's not.
873
00:37:53,238 --> 00:37:54,608
It's strange.
874
00:37:54,608 --> 00:37:57,240
You know what's stranger?
She dared us to convict.
875
00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:59,044
She almost
admitted killing him.
876
00:37:59,044 --> 00:38:01,744
Our case gets weaker,
she wants to plead.
877
00:38:02,253 --> 00:38:05,188
Some mothers will do anything
to protect a child.
878
00:38:07,258 --> 00:38:09,419
You're saying the daughter
killed Decker?
879
00:38:09,419 --> 00:38:11,518
I'm saying it's a possibility.
880
00:38:12,129 --> 00:38:13,892
The DNA was a match
with Angela.
881
00:38:13,892 --> 00:38:15,192
80 percent.
882
00:38:15,192 --> 00:38:18,292
And where does a daughter
get her DNA from, anyway?
883
00:38:18,292 --> 00:38:20,529
The cops
searched the apartment.
884
00:38:21,137 --> 00:38:22,832
Why was the underwear
still there,
885
00:38:22,832 --> 00:38:24,806
why didn't Brant get rid of it?
886
00:38:25,141 --> 00:38:27,666
Because she didn't know it
mattered until they found it.
887
00:38:29,879 --> 00:38:32,439
Let's get a blood sample
on the daughter.
888
00:38:32,439 --> 00:38:35,746
Did anybody even
consider the possibility?
889
00:38:35,746 --> 00:38:37,514
Adam, we all made
the same assumption.
890
00:38:37,514 --> 00:38:39,486
We thought the underwear
was the mother's.
891
00:38:39,486 --> 00:38:42,786
When did we turn this office
over to the Marx Brothers?
892
00:38:43,625 --> 00:38:47,254
First, nobody checks out
this husband's custody suit
893
00:38:47,254 --> 00:38:48,853
and now it turns out
894
00:38:48,853 --> 00:38:51,399
that nobody checked
whose bloomers were whose.
895
00:38:51,399 --> 00:38:53,435
You're going for a record here.
896
00:38:53,435 --> 00:38:55,129
So what's the theory?
897
00:38:55,637 --> 00:38:57,832
Mother walks in,
finds the daughter,
898
00:38:57,832 --> 00:39:00,032
stabs Decker
in front of her. That it?
899
00:39:00,032 --> 00:39:02,338
Liz thinks it's possible
that the daughter did it.
900
00:39:02,338 --> 00:39:03,468
Where was the mother?
901
00:39:03,468 --> 00:39:05,102
I think she was
with the ex-husband.
902
00:39:05,102 --> 00:39:07,841
The husband testified
she wasrt with him.
903
00:39:07,841 --> 00:39:10,179
Cerreta and Logan
asked Brant where she was.
904
00:39:10,179 --> 00:39:12,151
She didn't know
the daughter killed Decker.
905
00:39:12,151 --> 00:39:13,346
She tells the truth.
906
00:39:13,346 --> 00:39:15,252
Says she was with her ex.
He backs her up.
907
00:39:15,252 --> 00:39:16,551
Not in court.
908
00:39:16,551 --> 00:39:17,647
But try this.
909
00:39:17,647 --> 00:39:19,885
He changed his mind
after she told him to.
910
00:39:19,885 --> 00:39:21,655
She wanted to look guilty.
911
00:39:21,655 --> 00:39:23,286
He tells the truth
the first time,
912
00:39:23,286 --> 00:39:25,092
then lies on the stand.
913
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,365
Both lying.
914
00:39:28,735 --> 00:39:31,169
Protecting the kid. Good.
915
00:39:33,707 --> 00:39:35,732
DNA match on the daughter.
916
00:39:35,732 --> 00:39:38,072
Irrefutable. 100 percent.
917
00:39:42,715 --> 00:39:43,841
Okay.
918
00:39:44,750 --> 00:39:46,775
Only way this works now
919
00:39:47,353 --> 00:39:48,945
is to put husband
and wife together
920
00:39:48,945 --> 00:39:50,386
at the time of the killing.
921
00:39:50,386 --> 00:39:52,117
Can you prove that?
922
00:39:55,494 --> 00:39:57,688
It's called perjury,
Mr. Brant.
923
00:39:57,688 --> 00:39:59,957
You might want
to call your lawyer.
924
00:40:00,231 --> 00:40:01,357
You can't prove anything.
925
00:40:01,357 --> 00:40:02,956
You don't know
where Angela was.
926
00:40:02,956 --> 00:40:04,501
I think we do.
927
00:40:04,501 --> 00:40:06,901
We also know
where your daughter was.
928
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,098
We're going to indict Tracy
for murder, Mr. Brant.
929
00:40:13,211 --> 00:40:14,473
She'll be arraigned,
930
00:40:14,473 --> 00:40:16,638
she'll be surrounded
by reporters.
931
00:40:17,481 --> 00:40:19,642
Unless you'd like
to make this easier.
932
00:40:19,642 --> 00:40:21,115
Oh, you mean easier for you.
933
00:40:21,115 --> 00:40:22,982
For your daughter.
934
00:40:22,982 --> 00:40:24,577
And if there's
any hope of leniency,
935
00:40:24,577 --> 00:40:26,213
you'd better talk now.
936
00:40:35,264 --> 00:40:36,492
Oh, God.
937
00:40:41,904 --> 00:40:43,895
I did what Angela told me.
938
00:40:45,641 --> 00:40:47,370
I met her for dinner.
939
00:40:47,677 --> 00:40:49,577
She knew about Tracy
and Decker.
940
00:40:49,577 --> 00:40:51,943
She wanted my help.
I didn't know what to do.
941
00:40:51,943 --> 00:40:54,004
How late were you together?
942
00:40:55,350 --> 00:40:58,478
She walked away, she was mad.
943
00:40:59,621 --> 00:41:02,454
I started to leave.
I felt guilty, I went back.
944
00:41:03,692 --> 00:41:06,627
We went to the bar
on the corner.
945
00:41:07,796 --> 00:41:09,491
We were there till 9:00.
946
00:41:09,931 --> 00:41:12,229
So you told the police
the truth.
947
00:41:17,004 --> 00:41:18,562
Yeah. Angela called
948
00:41:18,562 --> 00:41:20,470
after they searched
her apartment.
949
00:41:21,709 --> 00:41:24,507
She said if they asked again,
I should tell them I lied.
950
00:41:25,112 --> 00:41:26,977
That I wasrt with her.
951
00:41:28,315 --> 00:41:30,306
She was willing to go to jail.
952
00:41:31,619 --> 00:41:33,381
Anything to save Tracy.
953
00:41:34,621 --> 00:41:37,112
You don't have a case
on either of them.
954
00:41:37,112 --> 00:41:38,714
We're dismissing
on Mrs. Brant
955
00:41:38,714 --> 00:41:40,452
and arresting her daughter.
956
00:41:40,452 --> 00:41:42,153
You can't prove Tracy did it.
957
00:41:42,153 --> 00:41:45,129
With what your husband told us
this morning, I think we can.
958
00:41:51,037 --> 00:41:53,129
She didn't understand
959
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,469
that you couldn't
have everything.
960
00:41:58,343 --> 00:42:00,243
That life wasrt like that.
961
00:42:02,748 --> 00:42:04,716
How do you tell a child?
962
00:42:11,255 --> 00:42:13,917
I have no authority
to deal for Tracy, Ben.
963
00:42:14,625 --> 00:42:17,526
But I know that the girl's
had a lot of problems.
964
00:42:17,929 --> 00:42:19,988
I understand,
but she also killed a man.
965
00:42:19,988 --> 00:42:21,429
When you know
what he did to her,
966
00:42:21,429 --> 00:42:23,433
you won't be thinking 25 years.
967
00:42:25,069 --> 00:42:26,934
Sentence her as a juvenile.
968
00:42:30,106 --> 00:42:31,437
Convince me.
969
00:42:33,043 --> 00:42:34,305
You have a daughter, Ben.
970
00:42:34,305 --> 00:42:36,902
You know 15 is not an adult.
971
00:42:36,902 --> 00:42:38,811
She's not responsible.
972
00:42:41,117 --> 00:42:43,108
Would you excuse us, please?
973
00:42:53,128 --> 00:42:54,322
You knew.
974
00:42:54,797 --> 00:42:56,924
She never told me,
I never asked.
975
00:42:57,967 --> 00:42:59,832
Until she wanted a deal.
976
00:43:00,102 --> 00:43:02,400
I knew she had to be
either stupid or a martyr.
977
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,200
She was not stupid.
978
00:43:06,608 --> 00:43:08,768
I'll get the case assignment.
979
00:43:09,177 --> 00:43:10,644
Talk to the girl.
980
00:43:16,150 --> 00:43:17,947
I know I'm pretty.
981
00:43:17,947 --> 00:43:20,112
I'm just not
that good with boys.
982
00:43:20,688 --> 00:43:22,383
Oh, they're gross.
983
00:43:22,590 --> 00:43:24,820
Just never wanted
to go out with them.
984
00:43:26,127 --> 00:43:27,116
Um...
985
00:43:28,161 --> 00:43:30,459
but Julian took me to clubs.
986
00:43:31,765 --> 00:43:34,131
I mean, I went to
the opening of Arena.
987
00:43:35,102 --> 00:43:37,036
He introduced me to everybody.
988
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:40,467
Tracy,
989
00:43:41,475 --> 00:43:44,672
tell Mr. Stone
what Julian promised you.
990
00:43:48,147 --> 00:43:49,808
He was grooming me.
991
00:43:52,852 --> 00:43:54,581
He said
we'd always be together,
992
00:43:54,581 --> 00:43:56,985
and I was going
to be a big model.
993
00:44:02,228 --> 00:44:03,923
What happened
that night, Tracy?
994
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:10,599
We made love.
995
00:44:13,638 --> 00:44:17,130
And then he told me to leave
and never come back again.
996
00:44:20,478 --> 00:44:22,275
It was my mom's fault.
997
00:44:25,582 --> 00:44:27,209
She told him
998
00:44:28,886 --> 00:44:31,320
that if he didn't stop
seeing me,
999
00:44:34,258 --> 00:44:35,691
she wouldn't...
1000
00:44:39,063 --> 00:44:41,896
Angela said she'd quit
working for him.
1001
00:44:43,033 --> 00:44:45,523
She threatened
to have him arrested.
1002
00:44:48,104 --> 00:44:49,765
Decker told Tracy
1003
00:44:51,274 --> 00:44:53,640
that her mother
was won'th more to him
1004
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,108
as a prostitute,
1005
00:44:56,112 --> 00:44:58,444
than she ever
would be as a model.
1006
00:45:04,352 --> 00:45:06,013
I didn't mean to do it.
1007
00:45:10,292 --> 00:45:13,420
After what he said about Mom,
he made fun of me.
1008
00:45:15,797 --> 00:45:18,061
He said I wasrt pretty enough.
1009
00:45:20,936 --> 00:45:22,835
My legs were too heavy.
1010
00:45:27,141 --> 00:45:29,974
He just turned his back on me.
1011
00:45:31,378 --> 00:45:34,245
He just walked away.
1012
00:45:51,297 --> 00:45:55,131
Three years. Spofford.
With treatment.
1013
00:46:01,107 --> 00:46:02,596
15 years old.
1014
00:46:02,596 --> 00:46:05,074
She thought if her picture
was on a magazine cover,
1015
00:46:05,074 --> 00:46:06,543
her life would be perfect.
1016
00:46:06,543 --> 00:46:09,240
Aborigines think
if you take their picture,
1017
00:46:09,240 --> 00:46:10,747
you capture their soul.
1018
00:46:10,747 --> 00:46:12,477
Maybe they're right.
