1
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,600
Please hold while we attempt
to connect your call.
2
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,600
Have a seat right there.
3
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,440
- Here?
- Right there.
4
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,920
We'll give you the...
We'll give you the comfier seat.
5
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,680
I'm... John Lewin.
6
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,360
I'm a... I'm a deputy DA.
7
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,680
Do you mind if... Mr. Durst or Bob?
You tell me.
8
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,720
- Bob is fine.
- Okay.
9
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,600
So, Bob, basically,
I'm from Los Angeles County
10
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,680
and I'm here to... to speak to you.
11
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:29,480
What I do, I do cold murder cases.
12
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,560
I'm surprised
there are that many of those
13
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:35,080
that you have a full-time job
working on them.
14
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,200
There's a certain image
15
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,240
even as... as a seasoned prosecutor
16
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,800
you have of... of a killer.
17
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,600
You can't help yourself.
18
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,240
And it's not Bob.
19
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,240
Before we... we start...
20
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,040
I wanna let you know
that I feel like I know you.
21
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,401
Now, I've never met you.
I feel like I know you very well.
22
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,320
You know, I know
it's... it's probably a very
23
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,360
you know, uncomfortable day
for you right now.
24
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,160
And if there's anything
that I ask you
25
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,480
that you... that you don't
wanna answer...
26
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:07,840
I won't answer it.
27
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:08,920
Okay.
28
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:14,160
Many times in Bob's life,
in custody, outta custody
29
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:15,920
Bob has an option.
30
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,920
One door is keep your mouth shut
and don't say anything
31
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,720
and one door is talk.
32
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,160
Bob always goes into the talk door.
33
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:26,880
Always.
34
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,520
Detective Whelan... Mike's gonna
advise you of your Miranda rights.
35
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:33,120
And are...
Can we... Are you cold?
36
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,536
- Can we get you somethin'?
- It is a little cold in here, yeah.
37
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,776
Do you want us to get you a blanket?
38
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:37,800
Yeah.
39
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,240
Here you go.
40
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,696
Do you want anything to drink?
41
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:41,720
Some coffee?
42
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,000
Coffee would be great.
43
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,520
Okay, only two rules on the coffee.
44
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,520
One, you can't throw it
at either one of us, at any of us.
45
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,120
And you can't throw it
on the computer.
46
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,920
- Fair enough?
- Very fair.
47
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,160
Okay, here you go. All right.
48
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:06,840
The reason I like cold cases
is because people think they beat it.
49
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,200
I love being able to swoop in
50
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,800
and to basically be able to say
51
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,080
"Yeah, no, you didn't beat it.
52
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,280
You walked around for a long time.
53
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,080
You got a life to live
you didn't deserve.
54
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,640
But eventually,
you gotta pay the piper."
55
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,280
LA County Deputy District Attorney
John Lewin
56
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,880
has spent decades prosecuting
57
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,080
complicated circumstantial
murder cases.
58
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:37,200
The idea that it's not necessarily
typical for a filmmaker
59
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:38,560
to call me up going
60
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,040
"Yeah, we've got evidence."
61
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,600
It's more than
not necessarily typical.
62
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,320
It's... I mean, unheard of.
63
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,680
Again, I've done this a lotta years
64
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,120
with a lotta interesting cases,
and that just doesn't happen.
65
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,760
I love circumstantial cold cases
66
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:11,480
and my expertise
are circumstantial no-body cases.
67
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,680
So I knew all about Bob Durst.
68
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,960
Bob's wife Kathie had disappeared
in Westchester back in 1982.
69
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,120
His best friend Susan Berman
had been murdered in 2000.
70
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,800
And finally,
his neighbor Morris Black
71
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,240
was killed and dismembered
in Texas in 2001.
72
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,840
Well, nothing can be done
about Morris Black.
73
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,040
He's already been acquitted.
74
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,960
Westchester has never done
anything on Kathie Durst.
75
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,080
There are issues.
76
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,840
I don't think
there's anything to go there.
77
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,200
The one to look at
is the Susan Berman case.
78
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,720
It kinda offended me
79
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,320
as a detective
80
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,360
that this person
81
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,440
was able to get away
82
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,600
with three murders
83
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,400
because of all the privilege,
money, power he had.
84
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,760
Homicide detectives have a saying...
85
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:13,920
"We work for God."
86
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,080
We try to get justice for the victim
and his or her family.
87
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,960
So John Lewin and I started working
on the case together.
88
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:27,600
We had a board.
89
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,840
On the board,
we had the plan of action...
90
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:33,640
and people to be interviewed.
91
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,400
We ended up interviewing
close to maybe 300 people.
92
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,920
I'm trying to put this case together,
myself and detectives.
93
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,600
And here's the problem.
94
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,880
If we contact these witnesses
and it gets back to Bob
95
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:52,640
Bob is gonna take off
and we're not gonna see him again.
96
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,440
So I knew it was going to be a race
97
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,280
to get as far as we could
before The Jinx came out.
98
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,640
Just before The Jinx is unveiled
99
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,520
Bob is living in Houston.
100
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,600
He's still flitting
around the country
101
00:09:10,680 --> 00:09:11,920
but his permanent address
102
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,840
is more or less in Houston.
103
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,680
So he was completely free, right
104
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:20,816
- at that point...
- Absolutely.
105
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:22,600
And I think
he would be free today
106
00:09:22,680 --> 00:09:24,640
if he had just kept his trap shut.
107
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,560
The Jinx: The Life and Deaths
of Robert Durst
108
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,440
is a new six-part
HBO documentary series.
109
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,440
It details the case of the heir
110
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,400
to a wealthy New York
real estate family.
111
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,320
When The Jinx came out,
it was a six-part miniseries.
112
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,000
And my prediction was
113
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,720
"This is going to be
the biggest thing
114
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,200
to hit my office since OJ."
115
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,600
The multimillionaire
real estate heir Robert Durst
116
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:55,160
in a new HBO documentary
117
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,680
he's answering all the charges
for the first time.
118
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,296
What do you think at the end?
119
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:00,440
Do you reach a conclusion?
120
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:01,520
Well, I think that
121
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,536
what the audience will find
when they get to the end of this
122
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:04,856
is that they're not
scratching their heads.
123
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,440
When they get to the end
of six episodes
124
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,280
they will know what happened.
125
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,200
who has been pressing, as you know
126
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,320
to see the finished episodes.
127
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,120
And he was sorta saying
128
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,840
"We're curious about
whether you come to the conclusion
129
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,520
that he's guilty or he's not guilty.
130
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,080
But obviously, there's a concern
131
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,120
that there could be a prosecution,
as a result of this
132
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,960
and we are, you know, very keen
to see it as soon as possible."
133
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,456
I mean, I said to him,
"Well, I know for sure
134
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,720
they'll let me show you one
135
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,840
you know, episode one,
tomorrow or whatever."
136
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,400
And he said, "Well, then I might
as well just wait for Sunday."
137
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:58,240
A teenage boy fishing in the shallow
waters off Galveston, Texas
138
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,920
stumbled on the gruesome
remains of a murder.
139
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,840
The Jinx started airing in February.
140
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,920
As each episode aired
141
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,880
Bob was watching
from his home in Houston.
142
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,640
And he and I spoke
after every episode.
143
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,600
Bob got away with murdering Kathie.
144
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,720
I need to know
what happened to Kathie.
145
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,960
These are my notes
from this time period.
146
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:24,760
I'd get his reaction.
147
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,160
"Hey, Charles Bagli.
It's Robert Durst.
148
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:28,800
The second episode...
149
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,920
I don't have anything
to say about it.
150
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,880
We've heard Kathie's family saying
151
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,560
'Why won't he tell us
what he did with her?'
152
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,800
On and on. As if they actually
expect me to say
153
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,000
'I put her over there
near the lamppost.'"
154
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,920
Beverly Hills Police Department
received a letter in the mail.
155
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,080
The envelope was addressed,
"Beverley Hills Police"
156
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,280
and the note read, "Cadaver."
157
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:55,840
Can you think of a reason
158
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,520
why somebody might write
a note like that?
159
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,280
I can't imagine.
160
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,760
By the third episode,
he was thinking
161
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,360
"I'm in pretty good shape."
162
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,080
"What else can he put
in those final episodes?"
163
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,240
So let me see the letter.
164
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,640
And, I mean,
of course, I told you this, but...
165
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,560
He showed me a letter
from Bob to Susan.
166
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,560
The address written on the front
is exactly like the Cadaver Note
167
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,720
down to the misspelling
of "Beverley."
168
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,280
So when Bob saw his letter on the TV,
he got very nervous.
169
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:51,080
This seems to be proof positive
that he killed Susan.
170
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,680
That is evidence.
171
00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:58,880
When I called him
after the fifth episode
172
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,320
there was a change in Bob.
173
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,320
He was clearly now worried.
174
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:06,600
"No, I'm sorta busy right now.
175
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:09,240
Let me get back to you,
say, Wednesday. Bye-bye."
176
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,800
And I thought to myself,
"Holy shit. He's gonna run."
177
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,520
In this past Sunday's show
178
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,040
the discovery of a potentially
blockbuster piece of evidence
179
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,680
- Susan Berman...
- March 2015...
180
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,280
we got evidence from FBI
181
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,360
that Robert Durst was on the run.
182
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,360
We also got evidence
183
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,160
that he was doing
what's called money structuring.
184
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,640
He was withdrawing
$9,000 almost daily.
185
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,120
When you withdraw cash money
over $10,000
186
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,640
banks are required to report
to the federal government
187
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,440
as a suspicious activity,
and he was trying to avoid that.
188
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,200
He was making withdrawals of $9,000.
189
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,960
Why would he want that cash
unless he was gonna run?
190
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,640
And if he left the country
191
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,640
went to some country
we didn't have an extradition treaty
192
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,600
we would have a very difficult time
of bringing him back.
193
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,440
And my captain told me
194
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,760
"Whatever you do,
don't let Bob Durst get away."
195
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,200
When it came time to track him
196
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:26,600
I was brought in to help
197
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:27,856
with the technical side of that
198
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,720
where we were able
to get up on his cell phone.
199
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,400
We got his cell phone records.
200
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,640
LAPD was able to obtain a wiretap
201
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,080
which allows us to see the numbers
202
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,360
calling into and out
of Bob's cell phone.
203
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,480
The last cell tower
that I was able to map
204
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,680
put him heading eastbound
on Interstate 10
205
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,840
leaving the area of Houston.
206
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:48,960
So we realized his phone
had been turned off
207
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,200
and then it wasn't active
for several hours.
208
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,320
LAPD, the FBI in LA, us in New York
209
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,040
we were all really pushing.
210
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,360
We were like, "We need
to get him in custody right away."
211
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,360
Our greatest concern came true,
and that was scary.
212
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,240
Bob has always seemed to have been
213
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,400
one step ahead of everybody
for the most part.
214
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,640
And this was just
a kinda déjà vu moment.
215
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,240
So we had to scramble
to get a search warrant
216
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,520
for his apartment in Houston.
217
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,360
We went to search the apartment,
and we got the surveillance.
218
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,720
We sent a team of four detectives
to his apartment...
219
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,040
and we did a search there.
220
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,240
His phone was gone.
221
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,480
He left his checkbooks
and credit cards in there.
222
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,640
Clearly, he was not gonna use them
'cause we would have tracked it.
223
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,040
There was some evidence of him
taking stuff out, or somebody else.
224
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,280
But apartment was cleaned.
It was cleaned out.
225
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,400
Okay.
226
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,080
My name is Chris Lovell.
227
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,280
C... C-H-R-I-S, L-O-V-E-double I.
228
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:40,920
In one of the more
229
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,000
surprising verdicts
230
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,080
in recent court history
231
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,280
a jury in Galveston, Texas today
232
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:48,760
found a wealthy man innocent
of murdering another man
233
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,960
even after he admitted
he cut up the victim's body
234
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,160
and disposed of it.
235
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,760
Chris Lovell was one of the jurors
in the Galveston case
236
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,160
that immediately befriended Bob.
237
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,520
As soon as the trial was over
238
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,520
they formed a relationship.
239
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,920
I think he was enamored with Bob
240
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,520
because Bob is incredibly wealthy.
241
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,960
He was hoping that would provide
some financial rewards.
242
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:16,600
With what was presented to me
243
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,760
absolutely, positively,
a hundred percent.
244
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,560
With what was presented to me.
Yes, sir.
245
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,280
I've never seen or heard of a juror
246
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:26,960
forming a relationship
with a defendant after trial.
247
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,360
But then, most defendants
aren't extremely wealthy
248
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,560
with sort of a celebrity status.
249
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,960
I think that Bob trusted Chris
250
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,320
and I think that Chris Lovell
will do whatever Bob says.
251
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,720
I didn't set out to be his...
252
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,120
Robert Durst's friend.
253
00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:51,840
It just kind of evolved into that.
254
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,840
I just set out to get some...
some questions answered in my mind.
255
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,160
But it has evolved into a friendship
256
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,760
and... and I don't have a problem
with him at all.
257
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,120
It is astounding that 12 years
after a murder trial
258
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,320
one of the jurors is helping Bob
259
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,200
make his getaway.
260
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:57,800
That apartment was sanitized.
261
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,560
We did not find
any critical evidence.
262
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,920
There was a box on top of the bed
in the bedroom.
263
00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:24,920
In that box, there was mementos...
264
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,280
Susan Berman's photos,
Kathie Durst's photos.
265
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,080
To this day, I think it was staged
for him to say that
266
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,600
"I cared about these people."
267
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,080
But he was sort of playing games.
268
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,000
I'm sittin' there,
listening to the wiretap Saturday
269
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,960
before the last episode
of The Jinx aired.
270
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,480
And I hear a phone call
come into Bob's cell phone.
271
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,480
Hello, you've reached
the Jitterbug voicemail for...
272
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:03,720
Bob.
273
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,800
And I could hear Bob trying
to log into his voicemail
274
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,080
using his PIN number.
275
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,720
So it's like beep... beep.
276
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,000
And he was unsuccessful.
He was actually getting frustrated.
277
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:20,600
Shit.
278
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:23,160
No.
279
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,120
So I knew it was Bob.
280
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,120
So I quickly ran the number
that was calling into his voicemail
281
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:35,080
and it came back to
the JW Marriott in New Orleans.
282
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,600
FBI office in New Orleans
responded there
283
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,160
to attempt to locate Bob.
284
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,920
Special agent checked
with the hotel register.
285
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:58,320
There was no Bob Durst
registered at the hotel.
286
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,880
So he decided to set up surveillance.
287
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,160
Sure enough,
about three hours later...
288
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,320
Bob walked in.
289
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,640
It just seemed like
everything was colliding.
290
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,000
It was all coming to a head at once.
291
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,160
One of the FBI agents said,
"Robert Durst?"
292
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,680
And Bob kinda stopped.
293
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,920
So they started talking to him.
294
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,280
And then a woman is walking by,
a guest in the hotel...
295
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,080
and she said,
"Oh, is that Bob Durst?"
296
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,160
She had just been watching The Jinx
297
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,560
so she recognized him.
298
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,120
You can't make this stuff up.
299
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,240
But Bob is now famous.
300
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,480
As good as Bob can be
or as lucky as Bob is
301
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:00,960
about evading capture
302
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,600
you know, he screwed up
and... and we caught him.
303
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,240
I was contacted and I was told,
"Okay, he's been arrested."
304
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,440
The FBI agents asked Bob
if he had any ID...
305
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,800
so he took them up to his room.
306
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,840
When they end up going into the room,
they find drugs...
307
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:37,920
a bunch of money...
308
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,240
a loaded firearm...
309
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,960
and a map of Cuba.
310
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,320
There was also
a very expensive latex mask.
311
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,040
Did you ever have an opinion
312
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:06,920
about what the mask
was gonna be for?
313
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,760
Did he ever express that?
314
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:11,520
Do I have an opinion?
315
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,640
The mask was gonna be used
to disguise himself
316
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,960
to flee the country,
is what I believe.
317
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,160
It... it was not Halloween.
318
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,520
The plan was Bob
was gonna take off for Cuba...
319
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,520
never to return.
320
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,960
And of course, that didn't happen.
321
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,080
We all knew you were gonna flee
at some point.
322
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,120
I mean, I assume
that you're not denying
323
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,920
that you were
in the process of fleeing.
324
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,800
I'm not denying
I was in the process of...
325
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,936
Yeah, right. And I think the reason
you're not doing it is
326
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,760
you know it's obvious there's...
let me go another way.
327
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,160
Why are you still here?
How come you're not in Cuba?
328
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,560
I don't get it.
329
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,880
I had made arrangements.
330
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,240
I had considered the possibility.
331
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,120
I had looked here and looked there.
332
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,240
But I had never really said,
"You know what?
333
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,280
They're gonna come after me.
334
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,760
I've gotta get far away
where they can't get me."
335
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,080
I guess, inertia.
336
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,760
I just didn't really... really think
337
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,120
that I was gonna end up arrested.
338
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,480
Being a fugitive
was... was not something I did well.
339
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:46,480
Authorities arrested Robert Durst
340
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:47,880
in New Orleans, Saturday
341
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,640
on a Los Angeles County warrant.
342
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,720
Tonight, Robert Durst is behind bars
343
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,600
arrested overnight in the lobby
of a New Orleans hotel
344
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,880
accused of killing a female friend
in Los Angeles 15 years ago.
345
00:25:58,320 --> 00:25:59,456
The investigation got a boost
346
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,520
thanks to new evidence revealed
in a documentary series
347
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,480
that Durst willingly participated in.
348
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,320
Last night's arrest comes
just hours before tonight's finale.
349
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,520
The director promises
tonight's final installment
350
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,360
will answer questions people
have been asking for decades.
351
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:23,440
That night after Bob's arrest
352
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,680
we all went to a screening
for the families of the victims
353
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,640
at your house
for the last episode of The Jinx.
354
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,560
It was kind of like
a meeting of an old club.
355
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,920
You had investigators, prosecutors.
356
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,200
You had witnesses.
357
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,640
And then you had Kathie's family
358
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,240
Jim McCormack, his wife Sharon
359
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,320
and their daughter
360
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,400
who was the spitting image of Kathie.
361
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,400
You gave us a call to screen
the final episode of The Jinx.
362
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,520
The sixth episode.
363
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,640
I knew that you had
something special to show us.
364
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,120
Also there was Jeanine Pirro
365
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,320
the former DA
366
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,200
in Westchester County
367
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,080
and Cody Cazalas
368
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,440
the detective who had carried
369
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,120
the case in Galveston.
370
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:15,920
So there's dozens of people
371
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000
riveted by what's unfolding
on the screen
372
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,800
and what the final episode
will reveal.
373
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,840
Oh, God, the "B" is exactly the same.
374
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,040
Son of a bitch.
375
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:42,600
He actually told me he was in Madrid.
376
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,480
And as the episode progresses...
377
00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:51,880
the room got quieter and quieter.
378
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:53,680
So...
379
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,480
so obviously, I wanna ask you
about the Cadaver Note.
380
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:00,920
The famous Cadaver Note.
381
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,896
Can you read me the spelling of...
382
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,216
- "Beverley Hills..."
- "Beverley Hills Police
383
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,320
1527 Benedict Canyon, Cadaver."
384
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,016
So you wrote one of these,
but you didn't write the other one.
385
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,760
I wrote this one, but I did not write
the Cadaver one.
386
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,360
And can you tell me
which one you didn't write?
387
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:22,840
No.
388
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,560
I am going to go use the restroom,
which is right here.
389
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,960
Or maybe this is the bathroom.
390
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,480
- Yeah, that's...
- You're right. This is the bathroom.
391
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:55,560
Oh, my God.
392
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,920
- Honey.
- Holy shit.
393
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:05,360
Oh, my God.
394
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:09,800
Oh, my God.
395
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:19,480
"Killed them all."
396
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,280
I heard it,
and then it kinda settles in.
397
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,040
You'd hate to use the word "closure"
398
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,920
'cause we still had
a long road to travel.
399
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,720
But at least for that point in time,
we finally had closure
400
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,240
that he was finally
admitting the truth.
401
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,160
Yeah.
402
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:48,680
Oh, it's definitely a confession.
403
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,000
I mean, right, Cody?
404
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:51,720
Yeah.
405
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,760
- They can use that?
- Yeah. He wasn't in custody.
406
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:57,520
Still had the mic on.
407
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,240
It doesn't matter.
408
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,240
He wasn't in custody.
409
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,920
It was not an interrogation.
410
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,120
And then, all of a sudden,
it seems to be everywhere.
411
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:15,480
Real estate heir Robert Durst
412
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:16,760
admitting to, quote...
413
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,000
"killing them all."
414
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,760
Robert Durst said he killed them all.
415
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,440
They are the five words
everyone is talking about this week.
416
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,120
"Killed them all, of course."
417
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,200
Killed them all.
418
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:27,280
Killed them all.
419
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,360
"Of course, I killed them all."
420
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,120
For the first time,
it came out of his mouth
421
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,280
what I have felt for a long time
422
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:36,360
in my heart.
423
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,800
The revelation was like something
we've been waiting for for 33 years.
424
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,400
Well, they got him.
425
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:43,760
Durst was arrested on Saturday
426
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,080
the day before the shocking finale
of that documentary series.
427
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,040
You know, I... I've seen...
428
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,240
I've seen all the interviews
that you did with Andrew.
429
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,920
So the whole long weekend
430
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,200
when I did the interviews
for The Jinx...
431
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,440
- Yeah.
- I was on meth.
432
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,320
The whole time, I was on meth.
433
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,080
And when I looked
at the little pieces of it...
434
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:16,040
I was like, I... I just...
it was... should have been obvious.
435
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,960
Surprised my lawyer
let me go ahead with it
436
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:23,360
'cause it just... I looked like
there was something going on.
437
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:27,960
Well, so, Bob, 'cause
before you go any further on that...
438
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,080
certain things I know.
439
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,016
And you seem like a straight shooter.
440
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,840
I assume you would prefer
that I be a straight shooter
441
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,520
- and not a bullshitter, right?
- Sure.
442
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:38,880
Okay, I'm a straight shooter.
443
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,560
What you just told me is bullshit.
444
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,480
I'm not trying to say
that my answers were wrong.
445
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,920
I'm just trying to say I was
gah... gah during the thing.
446
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,800
I... think that what I said
were the correct answers
447
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,200
to... to questions.
448
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,520
And, you know,
there begins this conversation
449
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,040
that sounds almost like
a plea bargain.
450
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,880
You know, it's... it's...
like I said before
451
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:07,960
this is all voluntary.
452
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,760
- It's com...
- No, I hear you
453
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,640
and I have no problem
with what you're saying.
454
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:12,720
Okay.
455
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,760
But what's going
through my mind is...
456
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,200
- if I tell you what I know...
- Okay.
457
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,040
that answers your questions
458
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,760
what can you possibly do for me?
459
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,600
Okay, let me... I'll...
I'll... I can tell you, Bob...
460
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,480
I'm very willing to talk to you.
461
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,600
And as I said, I'm 72.
462
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,240
You know what I want, correct?
463
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,720
Yes. You'd like some details
from me if I knew...
464
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,040
- Yes.
- about where Kathie's body is.
465
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,840
And about what happened
to Susan. Those...
466
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,440
And about what happened
with Susan.
467
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,360
And... and you would agree that
you're in the position if you want
468
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,040
to tell me more
than you have so far...
469
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,760
About that,
I'm not about to go that far.
470
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:55,960
- Okay.
- But...
471
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,080
Well, but wait a minute.
You're telling me though...
472
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,400
Then I wanna understand
when you're saying
473
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,520
"Tell me what..."
474
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,360
Well, you asked me what I thought
you wanted to hear.
475
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,120
I think what you wanted to hear
476
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,080
to make Ann McCormack happy
is, "What did you do with Kathie?"
477
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:11,440
Right.
478
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:16,840
And I think you want me to go
through details of... of Susan.
479
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,240
- I do.
- Okay, so now...
480
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,240
what would I ask for?
481
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,160
- Tell me.
- If I tell you those things
482
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,040
- I'm pleading guilty.
- Okay.
483
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:28,720
And I'm pleading guilty
484
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,480
I'm gonna be going back
to Los Angeles, to California
485
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,720
and doing my time.
486
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,440
Well, I... now, I've got a question.
487
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,960
Is there, so, for instance,
something that...
488
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,800
And I... and I...
that I would have to see is
489
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,440
would it be better doing your time
in a different place?
490
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,720
- Are you better doing it...
- Yes...
491
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,016
That's just what we're getting to.
492
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,680
- Okay, tell me.
- What could you do?
493
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,000
Well, I don't know
what the question is yet.
494
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,200
And... and I will tell you
that after New Orleans
495
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,320
I was very annoyed
496
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,960
because I felt at the end
of that interview
497
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,160
that I was ten minutes away
from a confession.
498
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,240
When we... sit down
to do an agreement...
499
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:10,440
And I would expect by Monday
500
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,160
I will have chosen a lawyer
in Los Angeles...
501
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:18,320
And over time, what I've realized is,
and as a big football fan...
502
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,640
I was down at the five-yard line.
503
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,880
But I was never going to
get that confession.
504
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,880
See, I'm not about
to... say to you...
505
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:31,000
What is your name again?
506
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,280
- John.
- John.
507
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:33,880
I'm not about to say to you
508
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,280
"John, this is it,"
without my lawyer being here.
509
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,200
Okay, okay. Well, listen,
and that's... and that's your right.
510
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,680
And you realize, "Oh, okay.
511
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,040
It wasn't that I was so great
getting down to the five-yard line.
512
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,480
It's that he really
wasn't playing any defense
513
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,280
and he's not gonna let me
get into the end zone."
514
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,360
So are you willin' to talk to me
after court today?
515
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:55,760
- Sure.
- Okay, all right.
516
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,040
We'll head to court.
517
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:00,720
And he said he would talk to me.
518
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,280
And of course...
519
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:04,800
that didn't happen.
520
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,800
So now, Bob was in custody
in New Orleans.
521
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:27,000
And who was the first person
to fly down to New Orleans
522
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,080
and visit Bob in jail?
523
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:32,480
Hi.
524
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,280
Hi.
525
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,120
How ya doin'?
526
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,200
Doin' all right. How are you doing?
527
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:39,720
I'm doing fine.
528
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:40,840
I'm sorry. This is the way
529
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,200
they do visitation here.
530
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,360
Debbie served
531
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,920
as Bob's wife
532
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,480
confidante, and advisor.
533
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,280
You see me in my jumper?
534
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:54,440
No, I can barely.
535
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,160
Hold on a second. Let me stood up.
536
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,200
Okay, I see it.
537
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:03,200
I see it.
538
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:06,880
Ai-yi-yi.
539
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:08,800
You actually look pretty good.
540
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:10,600
Thank you.
541
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,920
Your hair looks very bushy,
by the way.
542
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,720
Nah, it's just hair, you know?
You know I have a lotta hair.
543
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,400
Bob got from Debbie a safe harbor
544
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,520
a place that he could always go
545
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,360
where there were no questions asked.
546
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,200
He had absolute trust in her.
547
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,560
What I would like to do going forward
548
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,520
to pay my bills
549
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,400
and spending the money
on the legal defense
550
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,840
sell the apartment complex,
sell the two condos.
551
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,560
Yeah. And I think you should keep
your apartment in Houston.
552
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,720
And if you... I think
the thing you should sell here
553
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,120
is the apartment building.
554
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,160
The... the real estate
in the Hamptons
555
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:52,280
has that gone up much?
Is that way up?
556
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,320
Crazy.
557
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,520
So if we have that today to sell,
what would we ask for it?
558
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,600
I don't know.
It's probably worth twenty.
559
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:03,360
Interesting.
560
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,440
So the second person
to visit Bob in New Orleans
561
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,440
might have been Dick DeGuerin.
562
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,920
One of the same lawyers
that got him off in Texas.
563
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,160
Once Bob was arrested...
564
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,040
I got to New Orleans
565
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:23,120
as quickly as I could
566
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:24,960
which was about the next day.
567
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,400
And that's when I first saw Bob.
568
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:34,920
Bob saw my dedication
to his defense in Galveston.
569
00:37:36,240 --> 00:37:39,680
Bob Durst is not guilty of murder.
570
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,720
It's hard to argue with success.
571
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:45,960
Will the defendant please rise?
572
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,840
We, the jury, find the defendant,
Robert Durst, not guilty.
573
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,320
Bob Durst didn't buy
his way to freedom.
574
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,440
It wasn't his money
that influenced this... this jury.
575
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,760
It was the facts,
or the lack of facts.
576
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,280
I understand that you want
Dick DeGuerin on your team.
577
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:05,560
I don't blame you.
578
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,600
He... did wonderful things
for you in the past.
579
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,200
Bob did have this infinite trust
in DeGuerin.
580
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:19,400
So he authorized Dick
to assemble a defense team.
581
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:25,320
Dick DeGuerin reaches out
to a friend, David Chesnoff.
582
00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:30,400
A very prominent figure in Las Vegas.
583
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:37,600
He is the go-to guy for any celebrity
584
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,760
any professional athlete
585
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:43,240
any bad guy that gets into trouble.
586
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,240
He is very adept
at making problems go away.
587
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:49,960
Chesnoff's a brilliant lawyer.
588
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,920
He's a strategically-thinking lawyer.
589
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,240
I've always been interested in
fighting for the underdog.
590
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,016
In the old days, if you were
591
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,240
a celebrated person
592
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:01,920
you got breaks.
593
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,640
Now, if you're a celebrated person,
it's worse.
594
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,760
The more famous you are,
the tougher it is.
595
00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:09,440
It's like a populist thing.
596
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,680
Their chance to get even
with the rich person.
597
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,240
I think we had a hell of a team.
598
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:22,360
We had one goal,
and that was to defend Bob Durst.
599
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,320
I met this David Chesner,
and he... seems very bright.
600
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:29,960
I think the team
that you have is great.
601
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,840
So there are now prominent lawyers
602
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,920
assembled for Bob's defense team.
603
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,360
Were you also listening to his calls
from prison at point, from jail?
604
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:03,040
When Bob got arrested in New Orleans
605
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,000
he made repeated calls.
606
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,800
I listened to every call there.
607
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:11,080
When he was in Louisiana,
he was a nonstop talkfest.
608
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,360
From the moment Bob
was arrested in New Orleans
609
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,200
he was reaching out to old friends
610
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,880
looking to see who can he rely on.
611
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,080
He was seeking both emotional support
612
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,400
and to see who would be on his side.
613
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,080
The people around Bob helped him
614
00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:00,400
whether it was consciously
or unconsciously
615
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,800
go on for so many years
without consequence.
616
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,720
I like to think
that if a good friend of mine
617
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,480
is suddenly implicated
618
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,840
in one, two, three murders
619
00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:10,400
that I would recoil from that.
620
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,320
But who knows until you're tested?
