I want to go to the apartment
on Madison like we used to.

Spend the weekend in bed

16
00:00:43,621 --> 00:00:46,831
just ordering food
and hold each other.

sell the place on Madison

we got a perfectly
good bed here.

expressed much interest in

That's the problem, isn't it?

35
00:01:32,171 --> 00:01:34,051
The problem is that
when you're not at work,

36
00:01:34,131 --> 00:01:36,221
you don't know what
to do with yourself

37

and so you start drinking
at 10:00 in the morning.

my husband Peter and I
went out on our boat.

was down below
in the sleeping compartment,

103
00:04:55,211 --> 00:04:58,001

Not unusual for us.

105
00:05:00,671 --> 00:05:02,801

to the house. Figured

106
00:05:02,881 --> 00:05:04,631
he'd find his way back in

107
00:05:05,761 --> 00:05:07,301
later that night.

108
00:05:07,381 --> 00:05:09,471
When I woke up this morning,

109
00:05:09,551 --> 00:05:12,601
I couldn't find him.

110
00:05:14,021 --> 00:05:16,311
I went down to the boat.
He wasn't there.

111
00:05:17,351 --> 00:05:19,151
But there was blood.

112
00:05:19,231 --> 00:05:20,981

113
00:05:21,071 --> 00:05:22,321
They're still out there.

114

115
00:05:24,401 --> 00:05:25,691
I answered all their questions.

116
00:05:25,781 --> 00:05:27,491
Without a lawyer?

117
00:05:27,571 --> 00:05:29,491
Yes.

118
00:05:29,571 --> 00:05:30,951
Because...

119
00:05:31,951 --> 00:05:33,041
why not?

120
00:05:33,121 --> 00:05:34,661
But I could tell

121
00:05:34,751 --> 00:05:36,227
from the way
they were speaking to me,

122
00:05:36,251 --> 00:05:38,001
the way they were
looking at me...

123
00:05:38,081 --> 00:05:39,831
That you were a suspect.

124
00:05:39,921 --> 00:05:41,171
So,

125
00:05:41,251 --> 00:05:42,841
you awoke this morning
to discover

126
00:05:42,921 --> 00:05:44,067
that you didn't know
where your husband was.

127
00:05:44,091 --> 00:05:45,801
You called the police.

128
00:05:45,881 --> 00:05:46,881
They came to your house.

129
00:05:46,921 --> 00:05:48,841
And then...

130
00:05:48,931 --> 00:05:51,511
you came to work?

131
00:05:51,601 --> 00:05:55,021
I didn't know where to go.

132
00:05:55,101 --> 00:05:56,707
I-I wanted to look for him,
but where do you look?

133
00:05:56,731 --> 00:05:59,981
We-we were on the water.

134
00:06:00,981 --> 00:06:03,901
I want to believe
he's still alive.

135
00:06:03,981 --> 00:06:06,651
But alive where?

136
00:06:06,741 --> 00:06:09,137
Other than the fact that you
were the last person to see him,

137
00:06:09,161 --> 00:06:11,281
is there any other
reason anyone would have

138
00:06:13,281 --> 00:06:15,371
to suspect you of foul play?

139
00:06:15,451 --> 00:06:16,871
Two months ago, we...

140
00:06:16,951 --> 00:06:18,291
threw a party at the lake house.

141
00:06:18,371 --> 00:06:21,541
About a hundred people.

142
00:06:21,631 --> 00:06:24,711
Peter and I got into it.

143
00:06:24,801 --> 00:06:26,711
He says I get mean when I drink.

144
00:06:26,801 --> 00:06:29,551
I do get mean when I drink.

145
00:06:29,631 --> 00:06:30,817
Apparently, I got loud
and really abusive.

146
00:06:30,841 --> 00:06:33,261
Really let him have it.

147
00:06:33,351 --> 00:06:35,891
Everyone saw.

148
00:06:35,971 --> 00:06:37,271
Or so I was told.

149
00:06:37,351 --> 00:06:40,231
Or so you were told.

150
00:06:40,311 --> 00:06:41,627
Do you suffer from blackouts,
Mrs. Thomas?

151
00:06:41,651 --> 00:06:43,561
I don't know what that means.

152
00:06:43,651 --> 00:06:46,901
I suffer from drinking too much

153
00:06:48,861 --> 00:06:50,177
and not always remembering
everything afterward.

154
00:06:50,201 --> 00:06:52,531
What happened to your wrist?

155
00:06:52,621 --> 00:06:55,281
Oh.
Oh, this.

156
00:06:55,371 --> 00:06:58,411
I was walking my dog.
He took off after a squirrel.

157
00:06:58,501 --> 00:06:59,977
Pulled me down onto the sidewalk
with him. I landed on it.

158
00:07:00,001 --> 00:07:02,751
Bruised it pretty badly.

159
00:07:02,831 --> 00:07:05,671
I'm sorry to interrupt,
Mrs. Thomas.

160
00:07:07,841 --> 00:07:09,551
It's the medical
examiner's office.

161
00:07:10,841 --> 00:07:13,591
Okay.

162
00:07:13,681 --> 00:07:15,761
They found the body
down the shore.

163
00:07:15,851 --> 00:07:18,431
Apparently, he drowned,

164
00:07:18,521 --> 00:07:20,561
but there's also
significant blunt force trauma

165
00:07:20,641 --> 00:07:22,941
visible on the back
of the skull.

166
00:07:23,021 --> 00:07:25,611
So, here's the thing.

167
00:07:25,691 --> 00:07:27,821
Almost everybody
has had too much to drink

168
00:07:27,901 --> 00:07:30,111
at one time or another,

169
00:07:30,191 --> 00:07:32,451
but this "I don't remember"

170
00:07:32,531 --> 00:07:34,451
is not going to be
an easy sell to a jury

171
00:07:34,531 --> 00:07:36,451
as a defense for murder.

172
00:07:36,531 --> 00:07:37,951
We taking the case?

173
00:07:38,041 --> 00:07:40,121
She's Rachel Thomas.

That woman

178
00:07:49,841 --> 00:07:51,357
did not get to the top
by being reckless.

179
00:07:51,381 --> 00:07:53,181
She's one of the brightest minds

180
00:07:53,261 --> 00:07:54,317

of the stock exchange.

181
00:07:54,341 --> 00:07:56,301
You really think the best plan

182
00:07:56,391 --> 00:07:58,891
she could come up with
to get rid of her husband

183
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:03,561
was to hit him on the head
and throw him in the lake?

184
00:08:04,601 --> 00:08:06,651
Hell yeah,
we're taking this case.

185
00:08:12,031 --> 00:08:14,201
♪ ♪

186
00:08:14,281 --> 00:08:16,411
But there is nothing to divide.

187
00:08:18,741 --> 00:08:21,371
There is nothing to buy out.

188
00:08:21,451 --> 00:08:23,831
It was my apartment when
we got married the first time,

189
00:08:23,911 --> 00:08:25,831
my apartment when
we got married the second time,

190
00:08:25,871 --> 00:08:27,501
and it is still my apartment.

191
00:08:27,581 --> 00:08:29,001
This is a civil tone.

192
00:08:29,091 --> 00:08:30,801
This is as civil as my tone gets

193
00:08:30,881 --> 00:08:32,607
when someone is trying to take
something of mine

194
00:08:32,631 --> 00:08:34,881
that they have no right to.

195
00:08:34,971 --> 00:08:36,841
I have to go now.

196
00:08:38,891 --> 00:08:40,511
Bull

197
00:08:40,601 --> 00:08:44,181
and Benny apologize
for not joining,

198
00:08:44,271 --> 00:08:45,787
but they are at a bail hearing
for our new client,

199
00:08:45,811 --> 00:08:48,111
Rachel Thomas, who, moments ago,

200
00:08:48,191 --> 00:08:50,361
was officially charged
with second-degree murder.

201
00:08:50,441 --> 00:08:52,321
They are convinced
that the prosecution

202
00:08:52,401 --> 00:08:54,151
is gonna try
to persuade the jury

203
00:08:54,241 --> 00:08:56,701
that the marriage
was falling apart.

204
00:08:56,781 --> 00:08:58,321
That Mr. Thomas
was being unfaithful,

205
00:08:58,411 --> 00:09:00,411
and that Rachel was enraged

206
00:09:00,491 --> 00:09:02,161
and killed him
in a moment of passion.

207
00:09:02,241 --> 00:09:04,711
Can they prove any of that?
Well,

208
00:09:04,791 --> 00:09:07,291
the first part of it
was definitely true.

209
00:09:07,371 --> 00:09:10,041
The Thomases
had enough fights in public

210
00:09:10,131 --> 00:09:12,067
that rounding up people
to testify to their animus

211
00:09:12,091 --> 00:09:13,511
shouldn't be a problem.

212
00:09:13,591 --> 00:09:14,881
The cheating is another matter.

213
00:09:14,971 --> 00:09:16,721
Rachel is convinced of it,

214
00:09:16,801 --> 00:09:18,401
but from what
Bull and Benny can surmise,

215
00:09:19,261 --> 00:09:21,221
she doesn't really have
any hard evidence.

216
00:09:21,311 --> 00:09:23,181
So where does that leave us?
Well,

217
00:09:23,271 --> 00:09:25,681
here's the thing.
Peter didn't know it yet,

218
00:09:25,771 --> 00:09:28,061
but Rachel had already retained
a divorce lawyer.

219
00:09:28,151 --> 00:09:31,021
She had already
decided to leave him.

220
00:09:31,111 --> 00:09:33,731
So she really had
no practical motive to kill him.

221
00:09:33,821 --> 00:09:35,531
I beg to differ.
If she had divorced Peter,

222
00:09:35,611 --> 00:09:37,401
it would have cost her
half her fortune.

223
00:09:37,491 --> 00:09:39,571
It wouldn't have cost her half.
They had a prenup.

224
00:09:39,661 --> 00:09:42,411
A very aggressive prenup.
Remember?

225
00:09:42,491 --> 00:09:44,241
Even back when
they first married

226
00:09:44,331 --> 00:09:45,807
18 years ago,
she was a wealthy businesswoman.

227
00:09:45,831 --> 00:09:47,371
He was a failed playwright.

228
00:09:47,461 --> 00:09:49,831
Here it is.

229
00:09:49,921 --> 00:09:51,607
It even stipulates
that if he were caught cheating,

230
00:09:51,631 --> 00:09:53,231
he would leave the marriage
with nothing.

231
00:09:53,301 --> 00:09:56,381
So then
doesn't it stand to reason

232
00:09:56,471 --> 00:09:59,761
that if we can prove that Peter
was actually having an affair

233
00:09:59,841 --> 00:10:01,327
and that Rachel knew about it
that she had no motive at all?

234
00:10:01,351 --> 00:10:02,811
The affair would mean

235
00:10:04,061 --> 00:10:05,931
she wouldn't have had
to give him a dime.

236
00:10:06,021 --> 00:10:07,561
When it comes to the jury,

237
00:10:07,641 --> 00:10:09,561
I think the key
is gonna be eliminating

238
00:10:09,651 --> 00:10:11,111
anyone prone to rage bias.

239
00:10:11,191 --> 00:10:13,071
Rage bias?

240
00:10:13,151 --> 00:10:15,481
What on God's earth is that?

241
00:10:15,571 --> 00:10:17,291
People who have rage bias
tend to exhibit...

242
00:10:18,861 --> 00:10:20,911
I am so sorry to interrupt.
Uh, Bull,

243
00:10:20,991 --> 00:10:23,151
could I just have a word
with you outside for a moment?

244
00:10:26,371 --> 00:10:27,791
It'll be very brief.

245
00:10:27,871 --> 00:10:30,121
What's so urgent?

246
00:10:30,211 --> 00:10:31,687
It's our new client.
Our bank just called.

247
00:10:31,711 --> 00:10:33,017
The check she wrote
for our retainer...

248
00:10:33,041 --> 00:10:35,301
it bounced.

249
00:10:35,381 --> 00:10:37,301
Are you sure?
Maybe they made a mistake.

250
00:10:37,381 --> 00:10:39,131
That's Rachel Thomas.

251
00:10:39,221 --> 00:10:40,761
I watched her write the check
myself.

252
00:10:40,841 --> 00:10:42,641
It came
from her personal account.

253
00:10:42,721 --> 00:10:44,931
I'm just telling you
what they told me.

254
00:10:45,011 --> 00:10:47,471
All right.
I'll handle it.

255
00:10:47,561 --> 00:10:50,271
I'll find the right moment
and I will speak to her.

256
00:10:52,441 --> 00:10:54,361
I am sure
it's just a misunderstanding.

257
00:10:54,441 --> 00:10:56,611
Sorry. Where were we?

258
00:10:56,691 --> 00:10:58,321
You were explaining rage bias.

259
00:10:58,401 --> 00:11:00,451
Yes. People

260
00:11:00,531 --> 00:11:02,781
with this particular bias
believe that those

261
00:11:02,871 --> 00:11:05,831
who let their emotions
run away with them

262
00:11:05,911 --> 00:11:08,041
are a danger
to themselves and others.

263
00:11:08,121 --> 00:11:10,831
They won't have any trouble
making the leap that

264
00:11:10,911 --> 00:11:13,501
because you are capable of
acting out against your husband

265
00:11:13,581 --> 00:11:16,801
in front of a room
full of people

266
00:11:17,921 --> 00:11:21,131
that you would also
be capable of killing him.

267
00:11:21,221 --> 00:11:23,141
So w-what do we do about that?

268
00:11:23,221 --> 00:11:24,011
All right, let's play "what if."

269
00:11:24,091 --> 00:11:25,551
Okay.

270
00:11:25,641 --> 00:11:27,181
What if it's rush hour

271
00:11:27,261 --> 00:11:30,141
and it's raining?

272
00:11:30,231 --> 00:11:32,981
You're trying to get a cab,
you finally hail one down,

273
00:11:33,061 --> 00:11:35,521
you're about to get in
when someone rushes past you

274
00:11:35,611 --> 00:11:36,877
and tries to steal
the cab away from you.

275
00:11:36,901 --> 00:11:38,691
What do you do?

276
00:11:38,781 --> 00:11:41,531
The truth?

277
00:11:41,611 --> 00:11:42,927
I kick, claw, spit, bite and
pull the other person's hair,

278
00:11:42,951 --> 00:11:44,571
and if that doesn't work...

279
00:11:44,661 --> 00:11:46,371
We get the idea.

280
00:11:46,451 --> 00:11:47,661
My kind of gal.

281
00:11:47,741 --> 00:11:50,041
Your Honor,

282
00:11:50,121 --> 00:11:52,161
this juror is acceptable
to the defense.

283
00:11:52,251 --> 00:11:54,541
And that means we have our jury.

284
00:11:54,631 --> 00:11:55,647
Let's break for lunch
and then reconvene to hear

285
00:11:55,671 --> 00:11:59,091
opening statements

286
00:12:01,261 --> 00:12:03,067
and perhaps start calling
prosecution witnesses.

287
00:12:03,091 --> 00:12:05,511
So, what's your sense?

288
00:12:05,591 --> 00:12:08,851
My sense is we have
a long way to go.

289
00:12:08,931 --> 00:12:11,251
Benny, would you, uh, go across
the street, get us a table?

290
00:12:12,141 --> 00:12:14,191
We'll meet you there.

291
00:12:16,481 --> 00:12:18,401
Two things.

292
00:12:18,481 --> 00:12:20,731
Uh, the check you wrote us...

293
00:12:20,821 --> 00:12:23,071
the bank returned it.
It bounced.

294
00:12:23,151 --> 00:12:24,321
Oh, my God.
Really?

295
00:12:24,401 --> 00:12:25,911
Mm-hmm.

296
00:12:25,991 --> 00:12:27,741
I'm so sorry.

297
00:12:27,821 --> 00:12:29,911
I... I wrote it
on my personal account,

298
00:12:29,991 --> 00:12:31,387
and I know
this is horrifying to hear

299
00:12:31,411 --> 00:12:33,291
from someone who does what I do

300
00:12:33,371 --> 00:12:34,687
for a living, but sometimes I don't
even bother to... I'm not really

301
00:12:34,711 --> 00:12:36,211
concerned about it.

302
00:12:36,291 --> 00:12:39,291
I know you're good for it.

303
00:12:39,381 --> 00:12:42,211
Do you have any idea
how upset you just got?

304
00:12:42,301 --> 00:12:44,317
Well, it's-it's upsetting.
It's embarrassing. I'm-I'm...

305
00:12:44,341 --> 00:12:45,987
I-I... Well, it's nothing
compared to what we're doing here.

306
00:12:46,011 --> 00:12:47,551
We're...

307
00:12:47,641 --> 00:12:48,697
We're fighting for your life.

308
00:12:48,721 --> 00:12:51,721
We're fighting for your freedom.

309
00:12:51,811 --> 00:12:54,891
You're accused of killing a man,
and yet you sit here

310
00:12:54,981 --> 00:12:57,127
in front of these people who are
gonna judge you... the people

311
00:12:57,151 --> 00:12:59,151
who are going to
decide your fate...

312
00:12:59,231 --> 00:13:01,401
and you seem
not the least bit upset

313
00:13:01,481 --> 00:13:04,531
that the man you claim
you didn't kill

314
00:13:04,611 --> 00:13:06,911
was taken from you
little more than a week ago.

315
00:13:06,991 --> 00:13:09,871
You don't look shocked,
you don't look sad.

316
00:13:14,791 --> 00:13:16,751
You look like you're ready
to run a board meeting.

317
00:13:18,171 --> 00:13:20,171
Do you miss him?

318
00:13:22,881 --> 00:13:26,091
Course I miss him.

319
00:13:26,171 --> 00:13:27,737
I don't mean to pry, but what
exactly are you writing down?

320
00:13:27,761 --> 00:13:29,971
It's just a note.

321
00:13:30,051 --> 00:13:33,471
Remind myself
to do all the things you said:

322
00:13:33,561 --> 00:13:35,181
look sad,
look like I'm in shock.

323
00:13:38,401 --> 00:13:41,981
Shall we go?

324
00:13:42,071 --> 00:13:44,651
Dr. Ortiz, as the Nassau County
medical examiner

325
00:13:44,741 --> 00:13:47,781
who first examined
Peter Thomas' corpse,

326
00:13:47,861 --> 00:13:50,951
can you share with us
the official cause of death?

327
00:13:51,031 --> 00:13:53,451
Mm-hmm. Cause of death
was determined to be drowning

328
00:13:53,541 --> 00:13:56,331
after blunt force trauma
to the left temporal lobe,

329
00:13:56,411 --> 00:13:59,001
which is part of the head
just above the ear.

330
00:13:59,081 --> 00:14:00,831
And what can you tell us about

331
00:14:00,921 --> 00:14:03,631
Mr. Thomas'
blood alcohol content?

332
00:14:03,711 --> 00:14:05,171
It was quite high... 25...

333
00:14:05,261 --> 00:14:07,471
about three times
the legal limit.

334
00:14:07,551 --> 00:14:10,341
Now, your report

335
00:14:10,431 --> 00:14:13,471
indicates that Mr. Thomas
weighed over 200 pounds.

336
00:14:13,561 --> 00:14:17,141
Would the fact that he was so
intoxicated have made it harder

337
00:14:17,231 --> 00:14:19,207
or easier for a smaller person...
let's say someone

338
00:14:19,231 --> 00:14:20,811
the size of the defendant...

339
00:14:20,901 --> 00:14:22,861
to overpower
Mr. Thomas and then

340
00:14:22,941 --> 00:14:25,321
knock him over
the side of the boat?

341
00:14:25,401 --> 00:14:27,321
Seems to me it'd make it easier.

342
00:14:30,741 --> 00:14:34,371
No further questions,
Your Honor.

343
00:14:34,451 --> 00:14:37,001
Remember you told me
how much you missed him?

344
00:14:37,081 --> 00:14:38,637
Wouldn't hurt to wince a bit
every time you heard his name.

345
00:14:38,661 --> 00:14:40,831
- Mm?
- Good afternoon, Dr. Ortiz.

346
00:14:40,921 --> 00:14:42,831
Now, just to recap.

347
00:14:42,921 --> 00:14:45,171
You are saying you believe

348
00:14:45,251 --> 00:14:48,011
someone struck Mr. Thomas

349
00:14:48,091 --> 00:14:49,881
in the back of the head,
creating...

350
00:14:49,971 --> 00:14:51,721
What was it you called it?

351
00:14:51,801 --> 00:14:53,511
Blunt force trauma.

352
00:14:53,601 --> 00:14:56,721
Exactly.
Blunt force trauma.

353
00:14:56,811 --> 00:14:58,117
And then either dumped
or pushed him into the water.

354
00:14:58,141 --> 00:15:00,231
As I said,

355
00:15:00,311 --> 00:15:02,561
that's what the evidence
seems to suggest.

356
00:15:02,651 --> 00:15:05,271
I see. But you
haven't actually

357
00:15:05,361 --> 00:15:07,297
found the object that inflicted
this blunt force trauma,

358
00:15:07,321 --> 00:15:11,071
have you?
No, we have not.

359
00:15:11,151 --> 00:15:12,757
Then how can you be so sure
of the order of events?

360
00:15:12,781 --> 00:15:14,871
Couldn't Mr. Thomas,

361
00:15:14,951 --> 00:15:18,791
who you already testified was

362
00:15:18,871 --> 00:15:20,557
incredibly intoxicated,
simply have lost his balance,

363
00:15:20,581 --> 00:15:22,961
tumbled off the side of the boat

364
00:15:23,041 --> 00:15:25,421
and hit his head
as he fell in the water?

365
00:15:25,501 --> 00:15:27,921
Well, that's certainly
a possibility,

366
00:15:28,001 --> 00:15:30,591
but not nearly as likely,
in my opinion.

367
00:15:30,671 --> 00:15:33,261
What informed
that particular opinion?

368
00:15:33,341 --> 00:15:36,391
The laceration
to the skull appears

369
00:15:36,471 --> 00:15:39,731
as if it would have required
a significant amount of force.

370
00:15:39,811 --> 00:15:43,101
Doesn't seem like a fall into
the water would get it done.

371
00:15:44,651 --> 00:15:47,571
What if...
another boat was passing by?

372
00:15:47,651 --> 00:15:50,941
What if Mr. Thomas's head
kept getting smashed

373
00:15:51,031 --> 00:15:53,031
on the stern of his own vessel
over and over again

374
00:15:54,031 --> 00:15:55,911
in the wake of the passing boat?

375
00:15:55,991 --> 00:15:59,161
Something wrong with my theory?

376
00:15:59,241 --> 00:16:00,847
Is it any less plausible
than your theory,

377
00:16:00,871 --> 00:16:02,411
which is based on the assumption

378
00:16:02,501 --> 00:16:04,751
that my client's husband was hit

379
00:16:04,831 --> 00:16:06,551
with an object
no one can prove even exists?

380
00:16:06,591 --> 00:16:08,091
He's very good.

381
00:16:08,171 --> 00:16:11,971
Is the problem

382
00:16:12,051 --> 00:16:13,761
with my theory, Dr. Ortiz,
is that it makes

383
00:16:13,841 --> 00:16:17,601
Mr. Thomas' death

384
00:16:17,681 --> 00:16:20,141
seem more likely
the result of a drunken mishap

385
00:16:20,221 --> 00:16:21,601
rather than homicide?

386
00:16:21,681 --> 00:16:22,851
Objection, Your Honor.

387
00:16:22,931 --> 00:16:24,691
Counsel is testifying.

388
00:16:24,771 --> 00:16:28,441
Sustained.

389
00:16:28,521 --> 00:16:30,651
The jury will disregard
counselor's last statements.

390
00:16:30,731 --> 00:16:33,281
Ask a question, Counselor.

391
00:16:33,361 --> 00:16:35,321
Actually, I have no further
questions, Your Honor.

392
00:16:36,741 --> 00:16:38,911
Thank you.

393
00:16:38,991 --> 00:16:40,991
Mr. Colón,

394
00:16:41,081 --> 00:16:43,791
Dr. Bull, Mrs. Thomas,

395
00:16:43,871 --> 00:16:45,897
any way I could borrow
your legal counsel for a moment?

396
00:16:45,921 --> 00:16:48,381
There's something
I'd like to show them.

397
00:16:49,381 --> 00:16:50,527
We just got these
from the Nassau County Police.

398
00:16:50,551 --> 00:16:54,051
What are we looking at?

399
00:16:54,131 --> 00:16:57,181
It's a fire extinguisher made
especially for use on boats.

400
00:16:57,261 --> 00:17:00,181
Uh, they found it in the water
early this morning about

401
00:17:00,261 --> 00:17:01,407
300 yards from where they
discovered Peter Thomas' body

402
00:17:01,431 --> 00:17:04,521
the other day.

403
00:17:04,601 --> 00:17:06,537
Serial number indicates
it was purchased by Mr. Thomas

404
00:17:06,561 --> 00:17:08,311
about four and a half years ago.

405
00:17:08,401 --> 00:17:10,861
It's dented.

406
00:17:10,941 --> 00:17:12,861
Consistent with the kind of dent
you might expect

407
00:17:12,941 --> 00:17:14,821
if it were used to, say...

408
00:17:15,821 --> 00:17:16,991
Hit someone on the head.

409
00:17:17,071 --> 00:17:20,031
Great minds.

410
00:17:20,121 --> 00:17:21,767
Mm. There was still some blood on
it, some brain matter.

411
00:17:21,791 --> 00:17:23,701
Uh, we're having
everything tested.

412
00:17:23,791 --> 00:17:25,307
Uh, of course,
it was in the water over a week,

413
00:17:25,331 --> 00:17:27,291
so who knows
what the tests will show.

414
00:17:38,301 --> 00:17:39,941
But I wanted you
to be the second to know.

415
00:17:39,971 --> 00:17:41,641
Dad. Wake up.

416
00:17:41,721 --> 00:17:43,061
What are you doing here?

417
00:17:43,141 --> 00:17:44,141
Dad?

418
00:17:44,221 --> 00:17:45,731
Mm.

419
00:17:45,811 --> 00:17:46,957
You can't just sit in
front of my door like this.

420
00:17:46,981 --> 00:17:48,117
You're gonna get me in trouble.

421
00:17:48,141 --> 00:17:50,191
I'm sorry.

422
00:17:51,311 --> 00:17:52,551
I didn't intend to fall asleep.

423
00:17:55,111 --> 00:17:56,571
Been here for hours.

424
00:17:56,651 --> 00:17:59,741
What are you doing here?

425
00:17:59,821 --> 00:18:02,241
Well, I called you,
like, 300 times.

426
00:18:02,331 --> 00:18:04,411
I texted you, like, a million.

427
00:18:05,831 --> 00:18:07,211
I came here to talk to you.

428
00:18:08,711 --> 00:18:11,381
To tell you something.

429
00:18:11,461 --> 00:18:13,961
Look, I-I know
you're not gonna believe me,

430
00:18:14,051 --> 00:18:16,261
but... I have been praying
about this,

431
00:18:16,341 --> 00:18:18,551
baby. I've been

432
00:18:19,841 --> 00:18:21,641
reading about it,
I've been thinking about it.

433
00:18:21,681 --> 00:18:23,761
And Anna, I know,

434
00:18:23,851 --> 00:18:25,771
deep in my heart,
that this is wrong.

435
00:18:25,851 --> 00:18:28,771
And I'm gonna keep telling you,

436
00:18:28,851 --> 00:18:30,941
every inch of the way,
how wrong I think it is,

437
00:18:33,021 --> 00:18:35,781
because maybe
I'll change your mind.

438
00:18:35,861 --> 00:18:39,151
But if I can't change your mind,

439
00:18:39,241 --> 00:18:41,781
you got to know there's no way

440
00:18:43,071 --> 00:18:46,121
I'd let you
go through this alone.

441
00:18:46,201 --> 00:18:49,621
There's no way I would let you
go through any of this

442
00:18:55,171 --> 00:18:57,341
without being right there
by your side.

443
00:18:59,261 --> 00:19:02,391
I promise you I do not know

444
00:19:02,471 --> 00:19:04,367
how that fire extinguisher got
off the boat and into the water,

445
00:19:04,391 --> 00:19:05,971
much less
with the blood and the...

446
00:19:07,891 --> 00:19:09,037
...whatever else
you said was on it.

447
00:19:09,061 --> 00:19:10,891
They're telling us

448
00:19:10,981 --> 00:19:12,341
that Peter's blood
was all over it.

449
00:19:12,401 --> 00:19:14,731
And your fingerprints.

450
00:19:14,811 --> 00:19:17,571
Of course my fingerprints
were all over it.

451
00:19:17,651 --> 00:19:19,651
It belonged to me.
It-it was on my boat.

452
00:19:19,741 --> 00:19:23,111
That well may be,

453
00:19:23,201 --> 00:19:25,661
but we can't be sure a jury
is gonna see it that way.

454
00:19:25,741 --> 00:19:27,951
The fire extinguisher is proof

455
00:19:28,041 --> 00:19:30,001
that Peter's death
was no accident.

456
00:19:30,081 --> 00:19:31,831
I had no reason to kill him.

457
00:19:31,921 --> 00:19:33,331
But you told us your husband

458
00:19:33,421 --> 00:19:35,341
was having an affair.

459
00:19:35,421 --> 00:19:37,001
But that's not a reason
to kill someone.

460
00:19:37,091 --> 00:19:39,881
That's a reason
to divorce someone.

461
00:19:39,971 --> 00:19:42,181
Mrs. Thomas, we know
that if your husband

462
00:19:42,261 --> 00:19:44,641
had cheated, you would
be entitled to a divorce

463
00:19:44,721 --> 00:19:46,641
without any obligation
to pay anything.

464
00:19:46,721 --> 00:19:48,101
No alimony, no asset sharing.

465
00:19:48,181 --> 00:19:49,641
Everything reverts back to you.

466
00:19:49,721 --> 00:19:51,231
Exactly.

467
00:19:51,311 --> 00:19:54,521
The problem is our investigators

468
00:19:54,601 --> 00:19:55,667
can find absolutely no
evidence of any affair.

469
00:19:55,691 --> 00:19:59,071
Nothing.

470
00:19:59,151 --> 00:20:00,717
Not a single text message,
not a single phone call,

471
00:20:00,741 --> 00:20:03,201
not a single credit card charge.

472
00:20:03,281 --> 00:20:06,031
There's just no concrete proof.

473
00:20:06,121 --> 00:20:09,491
And unfortunately, that
does give you motive.

474
00:20:09,581 --> 00:20:13,211
Gentlemen... and lady,

475
00:20:13,291 --> 00:20:16,881
I am worth just shy
of a billion dollars.

476
00:20:16,961 --> 00:20:19,277
Are you suggesting that instead
of simply divorcing my husband

477
00:20:19,301 --> 00:20:21,591
and living off
a mere half a billion,

478
00:20:22,631 --> 00:20:24,051
I would choose to kill him?

479
00:20:24,131 --> 00:20:26,591
Really?
Does...

480
00:20:26,681 --> 00:20:27,921
does that make sense to anyone?

481
00:20:31,221 --> 00:20:32,901
The People would like to call
Helen Potter.

482
00:20:34,771 --> 00:20:36,691
Who's Helen Potter?

483
00:20:36,771 --> 00:20:38,731
Helen Potter...
she's your neighbor.

484
00:20:40,151 --> 00:20:41,571
How do you know the Thomases,

485
00:20:41,651 --> 00:20:43,651
Ms. Potter?

486
00:20:43,741 --> 00:20:45,911
We live about
three houses apart.

487
00:20:45,991 --> 00:20:47,621
Uh, I'm a full-timer.

488
00:20:47,701 --> 00:20:50,041
It means I live there
all the time. Uh,

489
00:20:50,121 --> 00:20:52,081
they're up weekends
and holidays.

490
00:20:52,161 --> 00:20:54,041
I guess you could say
we're neighbors.

491
00:20:54,121 --> 00:20:55,961
And your home, like their home,

492
00:20:56,041 --> 00:20:58,961
sits on the lake
and looks out on the water,

493
00:20:59,041 --> 00:21:01,421
giving you a clear view
of their dock, their boat,

494
00:21:01,501 --> 00:21:03,761
a good portion of the lake itself?
Yes.

495
00:21:03,841 --> 00:21:06,591
What did you see
on the date in question?

496
00:21:06,681 --> 00:21:08,641
I saw Rachel and Peter
go out in the boat

497
00:21:08,721 --> 00:21:11,261
at around 11:00 in the morning.

498
00:21:11,351 --> 00:21:12,867
Uh, but that night,
when the boat returned,

499
00:21:12,891 --> 00:21:15,811
I only saw Rachel.

500
00:21:15,891 --> 00:21:18,271
And I-I didn't see Peter at all.

501
00:21:18,351 --> 00:21:19,671
And were you aware
of any friction

502
00:21:20,691 --> 00:21:22,401
in your neighbor's marriage?

503
00:21:22,481 --> 00:21:24,781
I think everyone

504
00:21:24,861 --> 00:21:27,181
who lived in the neighborhood
was aware there was friction.

505
00:21:28,161 --> 00:21:30,451
Can you give the court
an example?

506
00:21:30,531 --> 00:21:32,621
Well, this year they threw
a party for Labor Day.

507
00:21:32,701 --> 00:21:34,621
All the neighbors were there.

508
00:21:34,701 --> 00:21:36,661
And Rachel started
a fight with Peter

509
00:21:36,751 --> 00:21:38,347
over the fact that he was
talking to other women.

510
00:21:38,371 --> 00:21:40,131
At one point talking to me.

511
00:21:40,211 --> 00:21:41,291
H-He tried to calm her.

512
00:21:41,381 --> 00:21:42,461
But he couldn't.

513
00:21:42,551 --> 00:21:43,761
She was yelling at him.

514
00:21:44,761 --> 00:21:46,801
Cursing at him.

515
00:21:50,761 --> 00:21:53,931
I was embarrassed for him.

516
00:21:54,021 --> 00:21:56,481
So other than the fact
that your house

517
00:21:56,561 --> 00:21:59,271
is three houses away
from her house,

518
00:21:59,351 --> 00:22:01,037
how well would you say
you know Mrs. Thomas?

519
00:22:01,061 --> 00:22:02,691
Excuse me?

520
00:22:02,771 --> 00:22:05,531
I-I'm not sure
I understand the question.

521
00:22:05,611 --> 00:22:08,491
Well, I was listening
to your testimony,

522
00:22:08,571 --> 00:22:09,797
and it sounded like you know
the Thomases quite well.

523
00:22:09,821 --> 00:22:13,331
So...

524
00:22:14,371 --> 00:22:15,887
how much time would you say
you've spent with the Thomases?

525
00:22:15,911 --> 00:22:19,001
Well, I mean...

526
00:22:19,081 --> 00:22:20,517
they have a Labor Day party
every year.

527
00:22:20,541 --> 00:22:21,727
Ever been to dinner with them?

528
00:22:21,751 --> 00:22:25,051
No.

529
00:22:25,131 --> 00:22:27,551
So, clearly, you've been to
their house for their parties,

530
00:22:27,631 --> 00:22:29,681
has Mrs. Thomas
ever been to yours?

531
00:22:29,761 --> 00:22:32,011
No.

532
00:22:32,101 --> 00:22:33,721
Ah. I see.

533
00:22:37,271 --> 00:22:39,441
And how about Mr. Thomas?

534
00:22:39,521 --> 00:22:41,311
Oh, that's okay. That's
all right. Let me ask

535
00:22:41,401 --> 00:22:43,311
a different question.
Now, you mentioned

536
00:22:43,401 --> 00:22:45,361
that on the night in question,

537
00:22:45,441 --> 00:22:47,151
you only saw Mrs. Thomas

538
00:22:47,241 --> 00:22:50,321
leave the boat.
Is that correct?

539
00:22:50,411 --> 00:22:53,991
Yes. Mr. Thomas
was nowhere to be seen.

540
00:22:54,081 --> 00:22:55,967
But I'm sure you're aware
that Mrs. Thomas explained

541
00:22:55,991 --> 00:22:59,041
to the police,
to the best of her knowledge,

542
00:22:59,121 --> 00:23:02,041
that Mr. Thomas
was in the sleeping compartment.

543
00:23:02,131 --> 00:23:03,307
Okay. I'm just not sure
I believe that.

544
00:23:03,331 --> 00:23:05,041
Really?

545
00:23:05,131 --> 00:23:07,051
Why not?

546
00:23:07,131 --> 00:23:09,091
Because every time
they went out on the boat,

547
00:23:09,171 --> 00:23:11,051
it was always Peter
who docked it.

548
00:23:11,131 --> 00:23:12,617
Even if he ended up
sleeping on the boat.

549
00:23:12,641 --> 00:23:15,351
He always tied it up.

550
00:23:15,431 --> 00:23:17,061
That was just... his thing.

551
00:23:17,141 --> 00:23:18,391
Really?
Every single time?

552
00:23:18,471 --> 00:23:22,191
Ha!

553
00:23:22,271 --> 00:23:25,191
Wow. For someone who...
hadn't really spent

554
00:23:25,271 --> 00:23:27,087
a lot of time with them,
you certainly know a lot

555
00:23:27,111 --> 00:23:28,377
about the Thomases
and their habits.

556
00:23:28,401 --> 00:23:30,451
How is that?
Objection.

557
00:23:30,531 --> 00:23:32,781
Counsel is badgering
the witness.

558
00:23:32,861 --> 00:23:35,031
Ms. Potter is not the one
on trial here.

559
00:23:35,121 --> 00:23:37,871
Your Honor, I'm not trying
to badger anyone.

560
00:23:37,951 --> 00:23:40,411
I'm just trying to understand
how Ms. Potter

561
00:23:40,501 --> 00:23:42,961
came to her conclusions
when she seems to have had

562
00:23:44,331 --> 00:23:47,251
very little contact
with my client.

563
00:23:47,341 --> 00:23:49,301
Objection overruled.
Witness will answer

564
00:23:49,381 --> 00:23:51,197
the question. That-That's all right.
That's all right.

565
00:23:51,221 --> 00:23:54,471
Let me come at this
a different way.

566
00:23:54,551 --> 00:23:56,971
Ms. Potter, on any given night,
how often do you check

567
00:23:58,011 --> 00:23:59,037
whether the Thomases' boat
is at their dock?

568
00:23:59,061 --> 00:24:00,731
I mean, it...

569
00:24:00,811 --> 00:24:03,601
seems like you check
quite a bit.

570
00:24:03,691 --> 00:24:05,271
Wh...
It's not that I check.

571
00:24:05,361 --> 00:24:07,231
I-I can see it from my house.

572
00:24:07,321 --> 00:24:09,111
It's just something I notice.

573
00:24:09,191 --> 00:24:11,071
Mm.
Well, forgive me,

574
00:24:11,151 --> 00:24:14,491
but isn't that a little curious,

575
00:24:14,571 --> 00:24:16,741
considering you live
three houses down?

576
00:24:16,821 --> 00:24:18,331
I mean, could you see their dock

577
00:24:18,411 --> 00:24:19,677
from every vantage point
of your home?

578
00:24:19,701 --> 00:24:22,081
No.

579
00:24:23,371 --> 00:24:25,631
Not every vantage point.

580
00:24:25,711 --> 00:24:27,567
But-But I can see it very
clearly from my upper deck.

581
00:24:27,591 --> 00:24:30,301
So how does that work?
Do you just

582
00:24:30,381 --> 00:24:32,801
sit in your upper deck all day,

583
00:24:32,881 --> 00:24:34,681
watching whether Peter or Rachel

584
00:24:34,761 --> 00:24:37,301
dock the boat that evening?

585
00:24:37,391 --> 00:24:38,827
I mean, that is a little
peculiar, wouldn't you say?

586
00:24:38,851 --> 00:24:41,521
Objection.

587
00:24:41,601 --> 00:24:43,037
Uh, Your Honor,
counsel is badgering once again.

588
00:24:43,061 --> 00:24:44,641
Sustained.

589
00:24:44,731 --> 00:24:47,191
Tread lightly, Mr. Colón.

590
00:24:47,271 --> 00:24:49,111
Ms. Potter, you testified

591
00:24:49,191 --> 00:24:50,321
that Mrs. Thomas

592
00:24:50,401 --> 00:24:51,821
had never been to your house.

593
00:24:51,901 --> 00:24:54,611
How about Mr. Thomas?

594
00:24:57,031 --> 00:24:59,871
And let me remind you
you are still under oath.

595
00:24:59,951 --> 00:25:01,161
He... may have.

596
00:25:01,241 --> 00:25:03,201
May have?

597
00:25:04,961 --> 00:25:06,871
I'm sorry.

598
00:25:08,421 --> 00:25:09,541
I need a yes or a no.

599
00:25:09,631 --> 00:25:11,091
Yes.

600
00:25:13,091 --> 00:25:16,051
Well...

601
00:25:17,091 --> 00:25:18,407
that changes things a bit,
doesn't it?

602
00:25:18,431 --> 00:25:20,181
Could you please tell the court

603
00:25:20,261 --> 00:25:22,181
what Mr. Thomas was doing
at your house?

604
00:25:22,271 --> 00:25:24,231
I don't know
what you're suggesting,

605
00:25:24,311 --> 00:25:27,521
but Peter and I
were just neighbors.

606
00:25:27,601 --> 00:25:29,037
I wasn't suggesting anything,
Ms. Potter.

607
00:25:29,061 --> 00:25:30,401
But given where your mind went,

608
00:25:30,481 --> 00:25:31,587
it tells me everything
I need to know.

609
00:25:31,611 --> 00:25:33,991
Objection.
Argumentative.

610
00:25:34,071 --> 00:25:35,191
- Sustained.
- I apologize,

611
00:25:35,281 --> 00:25:38,031
Your Honor.

612
00:25:38,111 --> 00:25:40,427
But if it pleases the court,
I just have one more question.

613
00:25:40,451 --> 00:25:42,201
So, clearly...

614
00:25:42,291 --> 00:25:46,081
you made it your business

615
00:25:46,161 --> 00:25:47,397
to keep an eye
on Peter's comings and goings.

616
00:25:47,421 --> 00:25:50,711
So did you, by any chance,

617
00:25:50,791 --> 00:25:52,591
go down to the Thomases' boat

618
00:25:52,671 --> 00:25:54,551
to check on your neighbor

619
00:25:54,631 --> 00:25:56,591
when you saw
that Rachel docked it

620
00:25:56,671 --> 00:25:58,721
and went up to her house
that night?

621
00:25:58,801 --> 00:26:00,891
Perhaps get into
a fight with him

622
00:26:00,971 --> 00:26:01,761
over his refusal
to leave his wife?

623
00:26:01,851 --> 00:26:03,391
No!

624
00:26:03,471 --> 00:26:05,561
Objection.
No foundation.

625
00:26:05,641 --> 00:26:07,441
Sustained.
Mr. Colón.

626
00:26:07,521 --> 00:26:09,561
My apologies, Your Honor.

627
00:26:09,651 --> 00:26:11,521
I have no further questions.

628
00:26:17,611 --> 00:26:19,781
And what brings you
to Nassau County?

629
00:26:19,861 --> 00:26:22,281
The train.

630
00:26:22,371 --> 00:26:24,017
I just felt funny
e-mailing or texting you this.

631
00:26:24,041 --> 00:26:25,241
What am I looking at here?

632
00:26:25,331 --> 00:26:28,461
It's a death certificate.

633
00:26:28,541 --> 00:26:30,291
A veterinary death certificate.

634
00:26:30,381 --> 00:26:32,751
Remember how Rachel told
you she hurt her wrist

635
00:26:32,841 --> 00:26:35,091
while she was walking her dog?

636
00:26:35,171 --> 00:26:37,421
Rachel's dog was put
down about a year ago.

637
00:26:37,511 --> 00:26:39,511
And, according to the vet,
she never got a new one.

638
00:26:45,351 --> 00:26:47,641
She lied.

639
00:26:47,731 --> 00:26:51,401
You ever wonder
about our client?

640
00:26:51,481 --> 00:26:53,377
The way she has such
a tenuous grasp on her memory?

641
00:26:53,401 --> 00:26:55,981
The way she can't remember
what happened

642
00:26:56,071 --> 00:26:58,111
after her fight
with Peter on the boat?

643
00:26:58,191 --> 00:27:00,281
Mm.

644
00:27:00,361 --> 00:27:03,571
It's like I said from
the very beginning...

645
00:27:03,661 --> 00:27:05,121
seems like a very
convenient lapse.

646
00:27:05,201 --> 00:27:06,991
Yeah.

647
00:27:07,081 --> 00:27:10,421
But it's not isolated.

648
00:27:10,501 --> 00:27:12,227
Today, she did not recognize
her neighbor at first.

649
00:27:12,251 --> 00:27:14,961
Had no idea who she was.

650
00:27:15,041 --> 00:27:16,631
And now Danny tells me her dog,

651
00:27:16,711 --> 00:27:19,471
the one who
yanked her to the ground...

652
00:27:19,551 --> 00:27:21,301
it's how she hurt her wrist...

653
00:27:22,261 --> 00:27:25,101
dog's been dead for a year.

654
00:27:27,271 --> 00:27:28,891
That's weird.
Mm.

655
00:27:28,981 --> 00:27:30,391
Dr. Bull.

656
00:27:30,481 --> 00:27:31,891
Mrs. Thomas.

657
00:27:31,981 --> 00:27:34,651
Anything new on my neighbor?

658
00:27:34,731 --> 00:27:36,547
Her prints show up on the
fire extinguisher, perhaps?

659
00:27:36,571 --> 00:27:39,191
They did not.

660
00:27:39,281 --> 00:27:42,321
Your neighbor actually has
a rock-solid alibi.

661
00:27:42,411 --> 00:27:45,071
And she voluntarily turned over
her home security DVR

662
00:27:45,161 --> 00:27:47,621
and it clearly shows
that she was home all day

663
00:27:47,701 --> 00:27:50,581
and all night while you and
your husband were on the boat,

664
00:27:52,871 --> 00:27:56,671
but that's not what I wanted
to discuss with you.

665
00:28:06,051 --> 00:28:08,511
Do you know what
early-onset Alzheimer's is?

666
00:28:10,311 --> 00:28:12,071
Anyone out there in the hall
right behind me?

667
00:28:12,101 --> 00:28:13,691
No.

668
00:28:13,771 --> 00:28:15,287
This room is soundproof,
but I wouldn't want anyone

669
00:28:15,311 --> 00:28:18,731
to read my lips.

670
00:28:18,821 --> 00:28:21,361
Yes.
I'm familiar.

671
00:28:21,441 --> 00:28:24,071
It's a kind of dementia.

672
00:28:24,161 --> 00:28:27,371
50 million people have it.

673
00:28:27,451 --> 00:28:28,717
When I flew to Britain
two and a half years ago

674
00:28:28,741 --> 00:28:31,411
to be tested under a pseudonym,

675
00:28:31,501 --> 00:28:34,711
they said mine was mild.

676
00:28:34,791 --> 00:28:37,211
Mild, moderate, severe...
those are the stages.

677
00:28:37,291 --> 00:28:38,881
I was told mine
would surely move

678
00:28:38,961 --> 00:28:41,051
to moderate at some point,

679
00:28:42,011 --> 00:28:43,721
but it was impossible
to say when.

680
00:28:43,801 --> 00:28:46,471
I'm so sorry.

681
00:28:46,551 --> 00:28:48,551
You understand
that if my board of directors

682
00:28:48,641 --> 00:28:51,391
know about my diagnosis,

683
00:28:51,471 --> 00:28:53,311
I will be fired
from my own company.

684
00:28:53,391 --> 00:28:56,481
You've known all along.

685
00:28:57,811 --> 00:28:59,901
That's why you write things down
in those notebooks.

686
00:29:03,031 --> 00:29:05,281
You want to make sure
nothing gets away from you.

687
00:29:05,361 --> 00:29:07,741
You get used to being
the sharpest mind in the room,

688
00:29:07,821 --> 00:29:09,491
and when that mind
no longer cooperates,

689
00:29:10,791 --> 00:29:13,961
you develop tricks.

690
00:29:14,041 --> 00:29:16,251
Well... for quite a while
you had me fooled,

691
00:29:17,501 --> 00:29:20,961
and I'm a trained psychologist.

692
00:29:21,051 --> 00:29:23,971
I know you mean that as
some sort of compliment, but...

693
00:29:24,051 --> 00:29:26,091
I've lived my whole life
working, building,

694
00:29:26,181 --> 00:29:28,801
trying to create a legacy,

695
00:29:28,891 --> 00:29:30,971
trying to be someone
people will remember.

696
00:29:31,061 --> 00:29:33,521
Then you wake up one day
to discover

697
00:29:36,851 --> 00:29:39,981
you won't even remember
yourself.

698
00:29:40,061 --> 00:29:41,741
I don't have close friends,
never had kids.

699
00:29:41,821 --> 00:29:43,141
Barely know my nieces
and nephews.

700
00:29:43,191 --> 00:29:44,901
I'm always working.

701
00:29:44,991 --> 00:29:48,111
My husband, the one person

702
00:29:48,201 --> 00:29:50,451
I had any true
connection to is...

703
00:29:50,531 --> 00:29:52,951
One of the hallmarks
of this disease

704
00:29:53,041 --> 00:29:54,307
is that people
become aggressive.

705
00:29:54,331 --> 00:29:57,461
They have episodes of violence

706
00:29:58,871 --> 00:30:01,461
that are totally
out of character.

707
00:30:01,541 --> 00:30:03,461
Are you suggesting
I might have killed Peter?

708
00:30:03,551 --> 00:30:07,011
I think it's certainly
a possibility.

709
00:30:07,091 --> 00:30:08,721
And knowing what I know now,

710
00:30:08,801 --> 00:30:11,101
I'm considering
making your disease

711
00:30:11,181 --> 00:30:13,011
a cornerstone of our defense.

712
00:30:13,101 --> 00:30:16,021
You should change your plea

713
00:30:17,731 --> 00:30:19,521
to not guilty by
reason of insanity.

714
00:30:19,601 --> 00:30:21,441
You have an opinion about that?

715
00:30:21,521 --> 00:30:23,151
Would you and your company

716
00:30:23,231 --> 00:30:24,781
like to continue on
as my legal team?

717
00:30:24,861 --> 00:30:26,741
Very much.

718
00:30:26,821 --> 00:30:30,411
Then you would do well to forget
everything you said here

719
00:30:31,871 --> 00:30:33,871
this morning, most especially
that last suggestion.

720
00:30:34,911 --> 00:30:36,371
Do we understand each other?

721
00:30:37,411 --> 00:30:39,711
Perfectly.

722
00:30:39,791 --> 00:30:41,831
I'll see you in court tomorrow.

723
00:30:46,631 --> 00:30:48,631
See you in court.

724
00:30:48,721 --> 00:30:53,141
We have the now-famous
fire extinguisher

725
00:30:53,221 --> 00:30:55,471
with blood, bits of skull
and brain matter.

726
00:30:55,561 --> 00:30:57,077
Does anyone know when lunch
is getting here? Taylor.

727
00:30:57,101 --> 00:30:58,851
You know we were
all thinking it.

728
00:30:58,931 --> 00:31:01,021
Shattered wine glass.

729
00:31:01,101 --> 00:31:03,521
One unshattered wine glass.

730
00:31:03,611 --> 00:31:05,441
Two empty bottles of wine.

731
00:31:05,521 --> 00:31:07,571
One empty bottle of scotch.

732
00:31:08,941 --> 00:31:11,701
And last but not least...

733
00:31:11,781 --> 00:31:13,321
...a plastic bag
inside a plastic bag.

734
00:31:13,411 --> 00:31:14,757
Looks like one
of those bags you get

735
00:31:14,781 --> 00:31:16,701
from the fruit
and vegetable aisle.

736
00:31:16,791 --> 00:31:19,041
That doesn't make
any sense. It has, uh,

737
00:31:19,121 --> 00:31:21,711
traces of lime, lipstick,

738
00:31:21,791 --> 00:31:24,541
an eyelash... and sputum.

739
00:31:24,631 --> 00:31:26,211
Really?

740
00:31:26,301 --> 00:31:28,341
Whose sputum?

741
00:31:32,471 --> 00:31:35,391
According to this,
Rachel's sputum.

742
00:31:35,471 --> 00:31:37,287
You wanted to see me
before court this morning.

743
00:31:37,311 --> 00:31:40,431
Yeah.

744
00:31:40,521 --> 00:31:42,787
I think we have a good shot
at accomplishing our goals here.

745
00:31:42,811 --> 00:31:46,401
Excellent.

746
00:31:46,481 --> 00:31:48,571
When this is over...
when we prevail...

747
00:31:48,651 --> 00:31:50,241
I need you to promise me

748
00:31:50,321 --> 00:31:52,911
you will resign.

749
00:31:52,991 --> 00:31:54,411
You're entitled to your privacy,

750
00:31:54,491 --> 00:31:56,281
but people pay you
for your judgment.

751
00:31:56,371 --> 00:31:57,911
And to the extent
that's compromised...

752
00:31:57,991 --> 00:31:59,701
And if I say no?

753
00:31:59,791 --> 00:32:02,081
Then I'll withdraw
from the case.

754
00:32:02,161 --> 00:32:05,001
Benny can't.
Judge won't allow it.

755
00:32:05,081 --> 00:32:06,921
But I'm the one
calling the shots.

756
00:32:07,001 --> 00:32:10,131
And without me, I'd say

757
00:32:12,841 --> 00:32:14,931
you're looking at no less
than 20 years in prison.

758
00:32:15,011 --> 00:32:17,561
You're a wealthy woman, Rachel.

759
00:32:17,641 --> 00:32:19,141
For God's sake,

760
00:32:19,221 --> 00:32:20,981
own your destiny.

761
00:32:21,061 --> 00:32:24,101
Don't let it own you.

762
00:32:24,191 --> 00:32:25,441
Resign with dignity.

763
00:32:25,521 --> 00:32:27,731
If you don't,

764
00:32:27,821 --> 00:32:30,941
if...

765
00:32:31,031 --> 00:32:33,111
you manage to get away
with no jail time,

766
00:32:33,201 --> 00:32:35,571
the truth about your condition
will leak out.

767
00:32:35,661 --> 00:32:36,677
It always does.
And you'll be fired.

768
00:32:36,701 --> 00:32:39,451
And sued.

769
00:32:39,541 --> 00:32:41,621
And everything you have spent
all this time building

770
00:32:41,701 --> 00:32:43,161
will have been for naught.

771
00:32:43,251 --> 00:32:46,501
Dr. Miller,

772
00:32:46,581 --> 00:32:48,517
if you could please explain to
the jury exactly who you are

773
00:32:48,541 --> 00:32:50,961
and what it is you do.

774
00:32:51,051 --> 00:32:54,591
I am a doctor
of forensic science.

775
00:32:54,681 --> 00:32:57,121
I worked for the Nassau County
Police Department for 25 years.

776
00:32:57,181 --> 00:32:59,141
I led their forensic unit

777
00:32:59,221 --> 00:33:01,181
for 15 of those.

778
00:33:01,271 --> 00:33:03,481
Then I retired

779
00:33:03,561 --> 00:33:04,941
and opened up
my own private shop

780
00:33:05,021 --> 00:33:07,941
about five years ago,

781
00:33:08,021 --> 00:33:10,981
and I haven't had
a day off since.

782
00:33:11,071 --> 00:33:13,167
Now, when you say you opened up
your own private shop,

783
00:33:13,191 --> 00:33:15,821
can you please explain
the nature

784
00:33:15,911 --> 00:33:18,991
of your work.
The short version is I analyze

785
00:33:19,071 --> 00:33:21,161
all the elements
of a given crime scene

786
00:33:21,241 --> 00:33:24,001
in an attempt to create

787
00:33:24,081 --> 00:33:25,477
a likely picture
of what actually happened.

788
00:33:25,501 --> 00:33:27,541
The order of events.

789
00:33:27,631 --> 00:33:29,461
Why it happened.

790
00:33:29,541 --> 00:33:32,001
I like to think of myself

791
00:33:32,091 --> 00:33:33,301
as a criminal puzzle solver.

792
00:33:33,381 --> 00:33:34,671
Ah.
Excellent.

793
00:33:34,761 --> 00:33:37,221
And did you have occasion

794
00:33:37,301 --> 00:33:38,761
to review the evidence
in our case?

795
00:33:38,841 --> 00:33:40,681
Just came
from the evidence locker.

796
00:33:40,761 --> 00:33:44,181
I believe I've seen all of it.

797
00:33:44,271 --> 00:33:46,851
Now, this plastic bag

798
00:33:46,941 --> 00:33:48,981
that you and the jury are
seeing on the monitor...

799
00:33:49,061 --> 00:33:50,691
that was recovered
from the crime scene,

800
00:33:50,771 --> 00:33:53,031
was it not?
Yes, sir.

801
00:33:53,111 --> 00:33:56,701
Recovered, tagged
and entered into evidence.

802
00:33:56,781 --> 00:33:57,927
And you believe this plastic bag
is of enormous significance,

803
00:33:57,951 --> 00:34:00,071
- don't you?
- I do.

804
00:34:00,161 --> 00:34:01,257
It was recovered from the boat

805
00:34:01,281 --> 00:34:04,911
on the port side

806
00:34:05,001 --> 00:34:08,371
near where the prosecution
believes that the struggle

807
00:34:08,461 --> 00:34:11,171
between the defendant
and Peter Thomas took place.

808
00:34:11,251 --> 00:34:13,711
And why are we just hearing
about this bag now?

809
00:34:13,801 --> 00:34:17,381
Well, I can't answer that.
But it appears

810
00:34:17,471 --> 00:34:20,261
that even though the bag
was submitted for lab testing,

811
00:34:20,341 --> 00:34:23,601
nobody drilled down
on the results

812
00:34:23,681 --> 00:34:26,431
because a plastic produce bag

813
00:34:26,521 --> 00:34:27,787
didn't figure into the narrative
that police had come up with.

814
00:34:27,811 --> 00:34:29,731
But you

815
00:34:29,811 --> 00:34:31,401
have drilled down
on the lab results.

816
00:34:31,481 --> 00:34:34,021
And what did they reveal?

817
00:34:34,111 --> 00:34:36,071
They reveal that
the bag contained,

818
00:34:36,151 --> 00:34:38,111
in addition to lime remnants,

819
00:34:38,201 --> 00:34:40,361
smeared traces of lipstick,

820
00:34:40,451 --> 00:34:42,411
sunscreen, an eyelash

821
00:34:42,491 --> 00:34:43,807
and a significant amount
of sputum.

822
00:34:43,831 --> 00:34:46,411
I see.

823
00:34:46,491 --> 00:34:48,541
And can you please
explain to the jury

824
00:34:48,621 --> 00:34:49,751
what sputum is,

825
00:34:49,831 --> 00:34:52,711
in layman's terms.

826
00:34:52,791 --> 00:34:55,801
It's a combination of mucus,
saliva and blood

827
00:34:55,881 --> 00:34:57,521
usually coughed up
from the lower airways.

828
00:34:57,591 --> 00:35:01,301
And did you conduct

829
00:35:01,391 --> 00:35:04,101
a DNA comparison to determine
the origin of the sputum?

830
00:35:04,181 --> 00:35:06,601
I didn't have to.
The police did, and it belonged

831
00:35:06,681 --> 00:35:08,891
to the defendant, Rachel Thomas.

832
00:35:08,981 --> 00:35:12,731
And based on your
knowledge and experience,

833
00:35:12,811 --> 00:35:14,297
how do you explain the presence
of her sputum in the bag?

834
00:35:14,321 --> 00:35:17,231
Well,

835
00:35:17,321 --> 00:35:19,127
it seems to be the by-product
of a physical struggle

836
00:35:19,151 --> 00:35:21,111
of the kind that might arise

837
00:35:21,201 --> 00:35:23,161
if someone had placed the bag

838
00:35:23,241 --> 00:35:25,831
over Mrs. Thomas' head

839
00:35:25,911 --> 00:35:27,241
in an attempt to suffocate her.

840
00:35:27,331 --> 00:35:28,581
Quiet, please.

841
00:35:28,661 --> 00:35:30,791
Don't force me to clear

842
00:35:30,871 --> 00:35:33,001
the courtroom.
He tried to kill me?

843
00:35:34,711 --> 00:35:36,501
I believe so.

844
00:35:42,721 --> 00:35:44,641
Your witness.

845
00:35:44,721 --> 00:35:47,431
Dr. Miller,

846
00:35:47,511 --> 00:35:49,771
everything you just described...

847
00:35:49,851 --> 00:35:53,521
it's really just a guess,
isn't it?

848
00:35:53,601 --> 00:35:55,707
I mean, you have no way
of knowing that's what happened.

849
00:35:55,731 --> 00:35:57,651
Knowing?
Well, of course not.

850
00:35:57,731 --> 00:36:01,151
There were no eyewitnesses,

851
00:36:01,241 --> 00:36:03,161
and the defendant
doesn't remember what happened.

852
00:36:03,571 --> 00:36:05,951
A yes or no, please.

853
00:36:06,031 --> 00:36:09,791
Yes, I have no way of knowing.

854
00:36:09,871 --> 00:36:11,831
All I can do is apply
everything I've learned,

855
00:36:11,911 --> 00:36:14,831
everything I know,
and combine that

856
00:36:14,921 --> 00:36:18,461
with the irrefutable facts
in front of me,

857
00:36:18,551 --> 00:36:20,631
just like I've been doing
for the past three decades.

858
00:36:20,711 --> 00:36:24,391
Just like I've done for you

859
00:36:24,471 --> 00:36:26,277
over the past... what is it...
seven or eight cases

860
00:36:26,301 --> 00:36:28,561
over the last few years.

861
00:36:29,771 --> 00:36:32,351
No further questions,
Your Honor.

862
00:36:32,431 --> 00:36:34,731
We just got
our first two greens.

863
00:36:34,811 --> 00:36:37,481
Dr. Allendale, we asked you

864
00:36:37,561 --> 00:36:38,731
to examine Rachel's mugshots,

865
00:36:38,821 --> 00:36:41,691
which were taken

866
00:36:41,781 --> 00:36:43,377
the morning Peter
was discovered missing.

867
00:36:43,401 --> 00:36:45,701
As a medical expert,

868
00:36:45,781 --> 00:36:47,371
what do you see
when you look at these?

869
00:36:47,451 --> 00:36:50,491
Well, the first thing
that jumps out at you

870
00:36:50,581 --> 00:36:51,871
is Mrs. Thomas' red, puffy eyes.

871
00:36:51,951 --> 00:36:54,251
Are those from crying?

872
00:36:54,331 --> 00:36:57,711
No, because in addition,
you also have

873
00:36:57,791 --> 00:37:00,881
broken capillaries
beneath each eye.

874
00:37:00,961 --> 00:37:03,381
That combination is consistent

875
00:37:03,471 --> 00:37:04,777
with someone
who's had their airway blocked.

876
00:37:04,801 --> 00:37:06,391
Hmm.

877
00:37:06,471 --> 00:37:08,721
Sort of thing that might happen

878
00:37:08,801 --> 00:37:10,561
if someone puts a plastic bag
over your head?

879
00:37:10,761 --> 00:37:12,181
Precisely.

880
00:37:12,271 --> 00:37:13,731
We just got our third green.

881
00:37:13,811 --> 00:37:16,561
- Do tell.
- You also studied

882
00:37:16,651 --> 00:37:17,941
the X-rays of my client's wrist.

883
00:37:18,021 --> 00:37:21,231
What did you conclude
from those?

884
00:37:21,321 --> 00:37:25,071
Mrs. Thomas had a sprain

885
00:37:25,151 --> 00:37:27,281
to the ulnar aspect
of her forearm,

886
00:37:27,361 --> 00:37:31,081
which is
almost always indicative

887
00:37:31,161 --> 00:37:33,541
of someone
attempting to block a blow.

888
00:37:33,621 --> 00:37:35,911
It's actually one
of the hallmarks

889
00:37:36,001 --> 00:37:37,291
of a defensive injury.

890
00:37:38,381 --> 00:37:40,041
A defensive injury.

891
00:37:40,131 --> 00:37:42,591
I see.

892
00:37:42,671 --> 00:37:45,301
Now, let's talk about
the victim's injuries.

893
00:37:45,381 --> 00:37:47,971
Peter's lacerations
to the skull.

894
00:37:48,051 --> 00:37:51,141
Now, what we're looking at here
are the injuries

895
00:37:51,221 --> 00:37:53,431
believed to have been caused
by the fire extinguisher.

896
00:37:53,521 --> 00:37:56,771
What can you tell us about these?
Again,

897
00:37:56,851 --> 00:37:59,691
to my eye,
these are defensive injuries

898
00:37:59,771 --> 00:38:01,771
based on the angle
and the speed.

899
00:38:01,861 --> 00:38:02,941
My guess is

900
00:38:03,031 --> 00:38:05,651
that they were delivered
by someone

901
00:38:05,741 --> 00:38:08,111
who was being restrained
in some way.

902
00:38:08,201 --> 00:38:10,081
Say, someone with a plastic bag
over their head?

903
00:38:10,161 --> 00:38:11,161
It's certainly possible.

904
00:38:11,201 --> 00:38:12,621
Objection.

905
00:38:12,701 --> 00:38:15,121
Defense attorney is speculating,

906
00:38:15,201 --> 00:38:16,637
and his expert witness
is swearing to it.

907
00:38:16,661 --> 00:38:17,661
Objection sustained.

908
00:38:17,751 --> 00:38:20,831
Mr. Colón,

909
00:38:20,921 --> 00:38:23,921
I need you to bring this
to some sort of conclusion.

910
00:38:24,001 --> 00:38:25,067
Some sort of conclusion
that isn't speculative.

911
00:38:25,091 --> 00:38:27,091
Of course, Your Honor.

912
00:38:27,171 --> 00:38:30,341
Absolutely, Your Honor.

913
00:38:30,431 --> 00:38:32,641
Now, you keep mentioning...

914
00:38:32,721 --> 00:38:34,931
defensive wounds,

915
00:38:35,021 --> 00:38:37,601
defensive injuries.
It all makes a lot more sense

916
00:38:37,681 --> 00:38:40,601
if we think of the accused
as the victim

917
00:38:40,691 --> 00:38:42,521
and her dead husband
as the attacker.

918
00:38:44,611 --> 00:38:46,531
I see.

919
00:38:46,611 --> 00:38:48,821
So...

920
00:38:48,901 --> 00:38:51,991
my client as the victim

921
00:38:52,071 --> 00:38:53,217
and the deceased
as the attacker.

922
00:38:53,241 --> 00:38:55,871
Got it.

923
00:38:55,951 --> 00:38:57,331
Thank you,
Dr. Allendale.

924
00:38:57,411 --> 00:38:59,081
No further questions,
Your Honor.

925
00:39:00,081 --> 00:39:02,461
The defense rests.

926
00:39:04,251 --> 00:39:06,511
I am staring at seven green.

927
00:39:06,591 --> 00:39:09,551
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

928
00:39:10,721 --> 00:39:13,181
"beyond a reasonable doubt."

929
00:39:13,261 --> 00:39:15,011
That's what the prosecution
told you

930
00:39:15,101 --> 00:39:17,641
when we began this trial,

931
00:39:17,721 --> 00:39:20,391
that they would prove
beyond reasonable doubt

932
00:39:21,481 --> 00:39:22,997
that my client was guilty
of second-degree murder.

933
00:39:23,021 --> 00:39:26,111
Well...

934
00:39:26,191 --> 00:39:29,861
how's this for reasonable doubt?

935
00:39:29,951 --> 00:39:31,177
Their victim
tried to kill my client.

936
00:39:31,201 --> 00:39:32,871
Why?

937
00:39:32,951 --> 00:39:35,701
'Cause she loved him.

938
00:39:35,781 --> 00:39:37,411
She didn't want
the marriage to end.

939
00:39:37,491 --> 00:39:39,711
Even though
he was seeing somebody else,

940
00:39:39,791 --> 00:39:41,791
even though
she could have ended the union

941
00:39:42,791 --> 00:39:44,631
without it costing her a dime.

942
00:39:44,711 --> 00:39:46,381
She loved him.

943
00:39:46,461 --> 00:39:49,761
And she didn't want to live
without him.

944
00:39:49,841 --> 00:39:51,487
Now, I'm guessing
that when he finally broke down

945
00:39:51,511 --> 00:39:53,511
and told her it was over,

946
00:39:53,591 --> 00:39:57,011
she told him that if

947
00:39:58,641 --> 00:40:02,191
he forced her hand,
he'd leave with nothing.

948
00:40:03,191 --> 00:40:06,521
And that's when he decided
his only option was to kill her.

949
00:40:06,611 --> 00:40:09,611
Say she drank too much
and fell overboard

950
00:40:10,821 --> 00:40:12,047
and live happily ever after
with her fortune.

951
00:40:12,071 --> 00:40:15,241
Well, ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

952
00:40:15,321 --> 00:40:18,121
you cannot convict somebody
for loving their mate too much.

953
00:40:18,201 --> 00:40:19,637
You cannot convict somebody
for defending themselves

954
00:40:19,661 --> 00:40:21,791
after they've been attacked.

955
00:40:21,871 --> 00:40:24,371
And you cannot convict somebody

956
00:40:26,211 --> 00:40:29,251
for not remembering any of it.

957
00:40:31,011 --> 00:40:32,761
None of these
things are a crime.

958
00:40:32,841 --> 00:40:35,221
Thank you for your patience.

959
00:40:35,301 --> 00:40:36,971
We are relying
on your good judgment.

960
00:40:39,011 --> 00:40:40,771
Thank you very much.

961
00:40:40,851 --> 00:40:42,601
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,

962
00:40:42,681 --> 00:40:44,601
that concludes the testimony.

963
00:40:44,691 --> 00:40:46,337
The court officer will escort
you We have nine greens, Bull.

964
00:40:46,361 --> 00:40:48,361
To the jury room,
where you will begin Nine greens.

965
00:40:50,691 --> 00:40:52,611
Your deliberations.

966
00:40:52,691 --> 00:40:55,951
Rachel,

967
00:40:56,031 --> 00:40:59,451
I have been doing this
a very long time.

968
00:40:59,531 --> 00:41:01,847
And while I've made it policy
not to speculate about verdicts

969
00:41:01,871 --> 00:41:04,461
before juries actually
announce them,

970
00:41:04,541 --> 00:41:07,081
I would be stunned

971
00:41:13,051 --> 00:41:16,511
if you weren't found not guilty.

972
00:41:16,591 --> 00:41:19,641
That's wonderful news, Dr. Bull.

973
00:41:21,221 --> 00:41:23,141
It's an incredible relief.
Thank you.

974
00:41:23,231 --> 00:41:26,651
I...

975
00:41:28,271 --> 00:41:29,791
I can't wait to go home
and tell Peter.

976
00:41:37,411 --> 00:41:39,531
("Chances Are"
by Johnny Mathis playing)

977
00:41:39,621 --> 00:41:40,831
Knock, knock, knock.

978
00:41:40,911 --> 00:41:43,831
We don't want any.

979
00:41:43,911 --> 00:41:45,267
I think you might
have missed this today.

980
00:41:45,291 --> 00:41:47,331
The business section.

981
00:41:47,421 --> 00:41:48,331
Big article
about Rachel retiring,

982
00:41:48,421 --> 00:41:51,381
moving to London,

983
00:41:51,461 --> 00:41:54,841
donating a ton of money
to Alzheimer's research.

984
00:41:54,921 --> 00:41:56,931
Hmm. I wonder wherever
she got that idea.

985
00:41:57,011 --> 00:41:59,511
Who'd have thunk it?

986
00:41:59,591 --> 00:42:01,327
I like what she says
about owning your own destiny,

987
00:42:01,351 --> 00:42:02,511
not letting it own you.

988
00:42:02,601 --> 00:42:04,181
She said that?

989
00:42:04,271 --> 00:42:06,521
Mm.
It's right there.

990
00:42:06,601 --> 00:42:08,351
Oh.
You're right.

991
00:42:08,441 --> 00:42:10,191
That is brilliant.

992
00:42:10,271 --> 00:42:11,877
Wish I could
come up with stuff like that.

993
00:42:11,901 --> 00:42:15,071
Okay,
don't make me listen to this.

994
00:42:15,151 --> 00:42:18,201
You mind if I leave?
Sure thing.

995
00:42:18,281 --> 00:42:19,701
Own your own destiny.
See if I care.
