00:00:00BANG!
00:01:30Yes?
00:01:45There's a package for Mr. Brooks.
00:01:48Okay.
00:02:15Happy Halloween.
00:02:17Well, listen.
00:02:32You tell that agent, if his client's not in training camp tomorrow, he's history.
00:02:36I will not renegotiate, and I'll force him to sit out his contract.
00:02:39You got it?
00:02:41Good.
00:02:41Excuse me, sir.
00:02:49Who the hell?
00:02:50I got a special delivery package for you.
00:02:53How'd you get in here?
00:02:55What are you...
00:02:56I'm sorry, boss.
00:02:59I got a special delivery package for you.
00:03:29Richard, wake up.
00:03:45There's somebody at the door.
00:03:46I'm coming.
00:03:52Hang on.
00:03:56Who is it?
00:03:57Police, sir.
00:03:59What?
00:04:03Sorry to bother you.
00:04:04It's such an hour, sir.
00:04:05I'm Detective Mingus.
00:04:07This is Sergeant Clark.
00:04:09May we come in?
00:04:10Uh, yeah, yeah.
00:04:11Come on in.
00:04:12Richard?
00:04:14Who is it?
00:04:16Are you Mrs. Arthur Brooks?
00:04:18Yes.
00:04:19Your husband's maid said you might be here.
00:04:21I'm afraid I have some bad news, ma'am.
00:04:23What's going on?
00:04:24Your husband, Mr. Brooks, was murdered about two hours ago.
00:04:27What?
00:04:29Happened at the mansion.
00:04:32Looks like an armed robbery.
00:04:33Whoever did it knew exactly where to go and what to do.
00:04:37Oh, my God.
00:04:39Under the circumstances, sir, would you mind telling me your relationship to Mrs. Brooks?
00:04:44I'm her attorney.
00:04:46That's convenient.
00:04:49Excuse me?
00:04:50What's that supposed to mean?
00:04:52Nothing.
00:04:53Nothing.
00:04:54It's very late.
00:04:55I'm sorry.
00:04:55I didn't mean to imply anything.
00:04:57Why don't you give me a call in the morning?
00:05:00We'll set up a time to talk.
00:05:02Sure.
00:05:04Our condolences, ma'am.
00:05:13I had the privilege of knowing Arthur Brooks, the man.
00:05:18Not just Art Brooks, the myth.
00:05:21Oh, sure, he was brilliant at playing the controversial, always quotable sports owner.
00:05:26And yes, he worked hard to cultivate his image as a modern-day buccaneer, never afraid to pull his sword and fight.
00:05:35But there was another side to this fiercely competitive man.
00:05:40A more private, more complex, and gentler side.
00:05:44This, Arthur Brooks, was the loyalist of friends, a devoted father, and a loving husband.
00:05:55The facts don't lie, folks.
00:05:57Right here are all the numbers.
00:05:59For three straight years, the two...
00:06:00As I was saying, for three straight years, the T-Birds marketing budget has increased 22, 26, 36%.
00:06:24And what have we gotten in return?
00:06:26Well, let's see.
00:06:27Attendance, oh, it's gone down every year.
00:06:29And the forecast for next season is even worse.
00:06:32Now, what does this tell me?
00:06:34That either you people are overpriced, or you simply don't know what the hell you're doing.
00:06:38With all the money I've invested here, I could have built out a dozen luxury boxes and tripled my return.
00:06:43Who are you?
00:06:43I don't remember seeing you before.
00:06:44I'm Kelly Moore, sir, with Rinstead and Associates.
00:06:49Oh, yes, my newest and highest-priced consultant.
00:06:52So tell me, what do you think the problem is here?
00:06:54I think you're a little too quick to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
00:06:59Is that right?
00:07:02I think so.
00:07:05Well, then I suggest, young lady, you show me the errors of my way.
00:07:10All right.
00:07:14If you track the three-year performances of your in-stadium promotions, such as bad appreciation night and your vacation giveaways,
00:07:27you're going to see that this is where you're going to get the most bang for your buck.
00:07:33And why is that?
00:07:35Well, with all your advertising trade-offs, these stunts are very inexpensive.
00:07:38And they've increased attendance by an average of about 12%.
00:07:41So you could easily double the number of your promotions and then maybe cut back in less productive areas.
00:07:49What did you say your name was again?
00:07:51Kelly Moore.
00:07:53To see Mr. Brooks.
00:07:55Yes, of course.
00:07:56Please come in.
00:07:57I'll tell Mr. Brooks you're here.
00:08:30Oh, Miss Moore.
00:08:33Hi.
00:08:34Hey, good.
00:08:36Yeah, could I put off by me asking you to work on a Saturday?
00:08:39No, not at all.
00:08:40Good night, good.
00:08:41I thought we might have a light lunch before we got down to business.
00:08:43That sounds great.
00:08:44Your house is absolutely beautiful.
00:08:47You know, it's amazing how much you can acquire
00:08:49if you start cheating and exploiting people at an early enough age.
00:08:52I was about this.
00:08:53Somehow I think you earned all this fair and square.
00:08:55Oh, you're careful now.
00:08:57I'm a sucker for flattery.
00:08:59Here, this way.
00:09:06Back in this time, there's a story to tell you.
00:09:17So how long have you worked at Rinstadt and Associates?
00:09:19Oh, about six months.
00:09:22You enjoy it there?
00:09:24So far, so good.
00:09:27Thank you, Philippe.
00:09:27Lisa will have coffee in the study later.
00:09:29Yes, sir.
00:09:32You certainly lead a very charmed life.
00:09:35You think so?
00:09:37Yes, sir, I do.
00:09:38Now, please, no more sirs.
00:09:39Call me Art.
00:09:41Yes, sir.
00:09:42Just kidding.
00:09:42Well, here's to the start of a most profitable relationship.
00:09:49Cheers.
00:09:54I've always loved horses.
00:09:57Everything about them.
00:09:58Me too.
00:10:00I started riding when I was in grade school.
00:10:01Well, we'll go riding someday.
00:10:05Okay.
00:10:08Anyway, about ten years ago, I went over to Ireland to try to buy this famous stud farm.
00:10:13The negotiations weren't going very well.
00:10:15And all of a sudden, I spotted this foal racing with his mother.
00:10:21There's something magical about it.
00:10:22And I asked the owner, and he said, well, indeed, he was so special.
00:10:26It was the only horse he ever bred that he would never sell.
00:10:28So, I watched him again.
00:10:33I turned to the owner, and I offered him his full asking price, plus $200,000, but only
00:10:38if he included that foal.
00:10:41What do you say?
00:10:43Are you daft?
00:10:45So, what happened?
00:10:48Ever heard of a horse named Sligo Dancer?
00:10:51I think so.
00:10:52Triple crown winner, Breeders' Cup, undefeated, 19 consecutive races.
00:10:56Miss Moore, I would like to introduce you to Sligo Dancer, in my opinion, the greatest
00:11:01racehorse of all time.
00:11:03Oh, he's beautiful.
00:11:07And do you know who he is?
00:11:10That little foal in Ireland?
00:11:13Exactly.
00:11:20But he's just immoral to this whole story.
00:11:23And what might that be?
00:11:24When I first laid eyes on that foal, I knew how extraordinary he was.
00:11:28And no matter what it took, no matter what it cost, I knew that I had to have.
00:11:33Now, that feeling, that certainty, has only happened to me one other time in my life.
00:11:42When was that?
00:11:44Today.
00:11:46This very moment.
00:11:47I don't understand.
00:11:51I don't understand.
00:11:54Do you know why I'm so successful, Kelly?
00:11:58I've always been a gambler.
00:12:00I've never been afraid to roll the dice.
00:12:03How about you?
00:12:06Are you willing to go for broke?
00:12:08What are you talking about?
00:12:10I'm talking about calling ahead to the airport, getting on my private plane, going to Las Vegas,
00:12:18and getting married.
00:12:22You're kidding, right?
00:12:25No.
00:12:26What do you say?
00:12:43I do.
00:12:44I do.
00:12:49Big smile now.
00:12:50Mrs. Brooks, would you like to have your breakfast in bed?
00:13:02Oh, no.
00:13:03I'll be down in about ten minutes.
00:13:04Thanks, Lisa.
00:13:05You're welcome.
00:13:06Good morning, sweetheart.
00:13:34Ooh, you're up early.
00:13:36Well, I had a conference call with New York.
00:13:38Oh.
00:13:39Mm-hmm.
00:13:40Mm-hmm.
00:13:41Mm-hmm.
00:13:43Whew.
00:13:46You are so beautiful.
00:13:48Stay home with me today.
00:13:50You know what they say about all work and no play.
00:13:53Don't tempt me, Kelly, please.
00:13:55Why?
00:13:55No, no, no, no.
00:13:56I wish I could, believe me, but...
00:13:58But what?
00:13:59But, well, the start is I'm going to be in Denver at three o'clock.
00:14:03Hey, you're going to have to bear with me, babe.
00:14:07This is a very busy time.
00:14:09Hmm?
00:14:10Okay.
00:14:11That's my girl.
00:14:14Look, I've got some papers I need you to sign.
00:14:17Papers?
00:14:18Yeah, ever since we eloped, my lawyers have been driving me crazy.
00:14:22About what?
00:14:22We never got a prenuptial agreement, and for someone in my situation, that's just unheard
00:14:26of, so have a quick read, sign on the exes, and we'll live happily ever after.
00:14:31Hey.
00:14:32I'll call you later.
00:14:35Okay?
00:14:36Okay.
00:14:37Bye.
00:14:38Bye.
00:14:39Bye.
00:14:40Bye.
00:14:41I can't believe he'd expect you to sign this.
00:14:57Well, I don't know anything about contracts, so I thought I should at least talk to a lawyer.
00:15:02I'm glad you did, because this...
00:15:04What?
00:15:06Frankly, it's an insult.
00:15:10He told me this was routine.
00:15:12Believe me, this is not routine.
00:15:15What should I do?
00:15:17Be honest.
00:15:18Tell him you had an attorney, review the documents, and that they're simply not fair.
00:15:22I can't tell him that.
00:15:24Why not?
00:15:24Because he's not the kind of man that you talk to that way.
00:15:31Mrs. Brooks, your husband is a very sophisticated businessman.
00:15:35My guess?
00:15:36He'd be very surprised if you didn't see an attorney, and even more surprised if you didn't
00:15:40ask for major changes.
00:15:44I hope you're right.
00:15:51Kelly?
00:15:53Does the dress meet with your approval, my lord?
00:15:57What is this, some kind of a joke?
00:15:59You don't like it?
00:16:01Well, where do you think we're going?
00:16:02The MTV Awards?
00:16:03Everybody said I look great in this dress.
00:16:07Yeah, well, to hell with everybody.
00:16:09The only opinion that matters is mine.
00:16:11And I say it's totally inappropriate.
00:16:13Arthur!
00:16:14Don't give me this Arthur stuff.
00:16:16I'm honorary chairman of this event, and I'm not going to be upstaged by your cleavage.
00:16:25Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
00:16:27Huh?
00:16:28It's beautiful.
00:16:29Wear that.
00:16:29Art, that dress is so old-fashioned.
00:16:31This one is much more contemporary.
00:16:34Really?
00:16:36Well, it's also got a very big stain on it.
00:16:37What?
00:16:39You bastard.
00:16:41Don't you ever talk to me that way again?
00:16:46Don't you understand me?
00:16:47Ever?
00:16:47You are hurting me.
00:16:49Yeah, well, not half as bad as your shyster lawyer is hurting me.
00:16:51Every day is some new demand, and to add insult to injury, I'm stuck paying his bills.
00:16:56So that's what this is all about?
00:16:59Well, I have some rights, too.
00:17:01Rights?
00:17:02What about my rights?
00:17:03We have a one-night stand.
00:17:05You think you deserve half of everything I own?
00:17:08I can't believe you just said that to me.
00:17:12I really can't.
00:17:16Look, I didn't mean it the way it sounded.
00:17:18It just...
00:17:19I'm sorry, Kelly.
00:17:21Really?
00:17:24Then what did you mean?
00:17:29I just want all this legal crap resolved.
00:17:31It's a pressure I don't need right now.
00:17:33How do you think I feel?
00:17:37Let's just...
00:17:38Let's just forget it, okay?
00:17:42Okay.
00:17:43Let's just forget it.
00:17:44Okay.
00:17:44Let's just forget it.
00:17:51You forgive me, right?
00:17:54You know I love you.
00:18:04Why don't you go make yourself beautiful for me?
00:18:07Okay.
00:18:08Okay.
00:18:21People used to always ask me what my dad was really like.
00:18:38But what few people ever knew was my father's tireless devotion to charitable causes.
00:18:46His dedication to raising millions of dollars to help the needy or fund medical research.
00:18:56That's the kind of man that my dad really was.
00:19:05Take care of yourself.
00:19:10I'll see if I can come by tomorrow.
00:19:11Yes, ma'am.
00:19:12Thank you very much.
00:19:13Kelly, if you ever need to talk, just call the phone anytime.
00:19:22I will.
00:19:23Thank you, Reverend.
00:19:24It was a very...
00:19:25You had some nerve coming here.
00:19:27Everybody knows what you really are.
00:19:28Everybody knows that you trapped my father.
00:19:30Jenna, Jenna.
00:19:31Jenna, not here.
00:19:33I'm sorry, Reverend, but no.
00:19:35Everybody just wants to whisper of this and nobody wants to tell the truth.
00:19:38Jenna, the Reverend's right.
00:19:39Can we talk about this somewhere else?
00:19:40No.
00:19:40Why did you have to come here to mock my father?
00:19:45Was it killing him enough?
00:19:47What are you talking about?
00:19:48You know what I'm talking about.
00:19:49Everybody knows what I'm talking about.
00:19:52Maybe you didn't pull the trigger, but you certainly know who did.
00:19:56You were behind the whole thing.
00:19:58I am so sorry.
00:20:09No one believes what she just said.
00:20:13I'll be fine.
00:20:14I'll be fine.
00:20:14I'll be fine.
00:20:14I'll be fine.
00:20:16I appreciate you coming down here, sir.
00:20:31No problem.
00:20:33Guess you heard about that nasty incident at the cemetery with Mr. Brooks' daughter.
00:20:37Everyone knows Jenna Brooks is psychotic.
00:20:39Yeah, I heard she's had some problems.
00:20:40She's been in and out of drug rehab for years, and she's always resented any woman that's
00:20:45ever gotten near her father.
00:20:47Yeah, I heard that, too.
00:20:48And that's one of the reasons I wanted to meet with you at the end.
00:20:53My partner, Detective Beltran, this is Richard Lenski.
00:20:57Hi, hold on.
00:20:58Hey, how you doing?
00:20:59Nice to meet you.
00:21:00You too.
00:21:00Let's go in here.
00:21:01It's a little tight here.
00:21:02This is such a high-profile case.
00:21:06The last thing I want to do is base my investigation on what the tabloids are saying.
00:21:11Yeah.
00:21:12Do you mind if I tape this?
00:21:13No, go ahead.
00:21:14Good.
00:21:16Now, for starters, how did you first get involved with Mrs. Brooks?
00:21:22I handled some legal matters for her.
00:21:25A so-called post-nuptial abuse.
00:21:26Right, right.
00:21:27But when did you go from being just her lawyer to her lover?
00:21:30I guess, um, I would say that our relationship changed the day that she showed up at my office.
00:21:47Here you go.
00:21:53Here, will you take that?
00:21:54Okay.
00:21:57Again, I'm sorry to just barge in on you like this.
00:22:00There's no need to apologize.
00:22:02Just tell me what the problem is, and, uh, hopefully I can help.
00:22:08My husband is totally out of control.
00:22:14He's had some business problems over the past few weeks, and...
00:22:19And what?
00:22:25And he is so competitive about everything.
00:22:29I mean, he hates to lose.
00:22:32And if everything doesn't go his way, he gets so angry.
00:22:37And when he gets angry...
00:22:38He gets very violent.
00:22:47Oh, boy.
00:22:48I shouldn't have come.
00:22:49No, no.
00:22:49Mrs. Brooks, this is very serious, right?
00:22:53It's important that you talk to somebody, all right?
00:22:55Please.
00:22:56I'm just really afraid that he's gonna kill me someday.
00:22:59I mean, I have bruises all over my body.
00:23:02Did this just start, or has been happening for a while?
00:23:06It's been happening for over a month now, ever since he started drinking heavily again.
00:23:10I'm not trying to smother you, Art.
00:23:14I'm just trying to help.
00:23:16What the hell are you talking about?
00:23:18You.
00:23:19Us.
00:23:19Our situation.
00:23:20All this drinking and all this...
00:23:22All this, all this...
00:23:23What?
00:23:24Who are you, my mother?
00:23:25No, I'm not your mother, but I am your wife, and I deserve better than this.
00:23:29Oh, yeah?
00:23:30Well, so do Art!
00:23:33God.
00:23:34You come back here!
00:23:37Hey!
00:23:38Hey!
00:23:38Where do you think you're going?
00:23:42Art, let go of me.
00:23:44You're really scaring me.
00:23:45Oh, yeah?
00:23:46Well, that's good.
00:23:47You shouldn't be scared, because you know what?
00:23:50You seem to have forgotten the rules around here.
00:23:54Okay.
00:23:55Okay, you're right.
00:23:56I'm sorry.
00:23:57Okay, I'm tired.
00:23:58Okay.
00:23:59I'm sorry.
00:24:00Just let me go to the bunk.
00:24:01Okay?
00:24:01All right, Art.
00:24:02Let me go to bed, Art.
00:24:04Come on.
00:24:06Stop it.
00:24:07Art, get up!
00:24:08You better run, Kelly.
00:24:15You better run!
00:24:18You understand me?
00:24:20Good.
00:24:22I was so scared.
00:24:24I had to lock myself in a guest bedroom that night.
00:24:32And I don't know what to do.
00:24:35I guess that's why I'm here.
00:24:39You believe the marriage is over?
00:24:42Oh, I...
00:24:43It's been over for a long time.
00:24:51And I just...
00:24:55I can't live like this anymore.
00:24:57The first thing we have to do is we have to get a complete medical examination with photos
00:25:02to document the physical abuse.
00:25:04I can't do that.
00:25:05Mrs. Brooks, you've got to trust me on this one.
00:25:07This is something you have to do.
00:25:09If I go to my doctor, my husband's going to find out.
00:25:11No.
00:25:13I have a doctor.
00:25:14She's an old friend, and she'll protect your confidentiality.
00:25:17It's just crucial that we do it right away while the bruises are still visible.
00:25:25Let me call her, okay?
00:25:26I then took her to the doctor's and waited until she was done.
00:25:42Emotionally, this is the first time in my professional career I've ever crossed the line with a client.
00:25:47Well, she's a mighty attractive woman.
00:25:51So, did she decide to file for a divorce?
00:25:55No, not then.
00:25:55But then one night, it must have been one o'clock in the morning,
00:26:02she came out to my house, really hysterical.
00:26:06He went crazy on me.
00:26:07I mean, completely crazy.
00:26:09He pulled out this gun and he put it to my head, and I thought I was dead.
00:26:13I mean, it was horrible.
00:26:14I can't take this anymore.
00:26:16I can't.
00:26:17I can't.
00:26:18It's all right.
00:26:18It's all right.
00:26:19It's all right.
00:26:20It's okay.
00:26:21I can't go back there, Richard.
00:26:23No, no, no, no.
00:26:24No, you can't.
00:26:25No.
00:26:31And how did Mr. Brooks take to all this?
00:26:33According to Kelly, he was pretty unhappy.
00:26:36Where are you going?
00:26:50The girlfriends?
00:26:52What girlfriends?
00:26:57What girlfriends?
00:27:02You know, Kelly, you walk out on me now.
00:27:05A fat lady has sung.
00:27:06It's all over.
00:27:07I think she's been singing for quite a while now, Art.
00:27:11You know what's going to happen if you leave?
00:27:13Within one week, I guarantee it.
00:27:15I'm going to pick up a newspaper and read an item.
00:27:17Some gossip column about how Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brooks have split up.
00:27:23Well, I can't help that.
00:27:26You know how it's going to make me feel like an idiot?
00:27:29Because all of my enemies are going to be laughing at me.
00:27:33Art, just stop it.
00:27:34So, Kelly, if you do walk out of me, I want you to understand something.
00:27:39You're never coming back because I'm never going to let you back.
00:27:48You walk out, poof, you're gone.
00:27:56From my head and from my heart.
00:28:09On the other hand, if you want to give it another shot, try to set things straight.
00:28:15It's your call.
00:28:35Later that day, she moved into my apartment.
00:28:39How are we doing?
00:28:42Okay.
00:28:44You did the right thing, you know.
00:28:46I know.
00:28:47Yeah.
00:28:48It's just...
00:28:49Tough.
00:28:49Something like this is usually tough.
00:28:55At least one good thing came out of all this, though.
00:28:57What's that?
00:29:00You.
00:29:02Us.
00:29:06I really couldn't have made it these past few months without your kindness.
00:29:09And your understanding.
00:29:11and understanding.
00:29:35Wow. Not too shabby.
00:29:39You know, even if you won the lottery,
00:29:41you could never afford to live in a place like this.
00:29:43Yeah? Why's that?
00:29:45Because the utility bills would cost a fortune.
00:29:47Well, you gotta hand it to him.
00:29:49The man lived well. Too well.
00:29:51Yeah, you can say that again.
00:29:53And then everything ended for him one hot summer night.
00:29:55Oh, man.
00:29:57You are a poet, you know that?
00:29:59A real poet.
00:30:01No, I'm just a sensitive guy in a cruel world.
00:30:05And here's what we got.
00:30:07My husband, his beautiful young trophy wife,
00:30:09her secret lover,
00:30:11and a zillion dollar estate.
00:30:13So you think Prince Charming and Cinderella are behind it?
00:30:17What do you think?
00:30:19Well, unlike you, Mingus,
00:30:21I tend to keep an open mind.
00:30:23Don't touch the hair.
00:30:25I gotta tell you not to touch my hair.
00:30:27Come on. I can't wait to see the inside of this joint.
00:30:31I believe you said you worked for Mr. Brooks for about five years?
00:30:35Yes.
00:30:36Was he a good boss?
00:30:38Or was he a nice man?
00:30:40No. He was terrible.
00:30:42Then why'd you keep working for him?
00:30:45He paid me very well.
00:30:47Yeah, well, I can relate to that.
00:30:49Yeah, except I don't pay you that well.
00:30:51You can say that again.
00:30:55Please, don't sit on the furniture.
00:31:00Sorry.
00:31:01Where he comes from, they usually sit on the furniture.
00:31:04That's right.
00:31:07How about Mrs. Brooks? You like her?
00:31:10I love Mrs. Brooks. So pretty. So thoughtful.
00:31:16But he was so mean to her.
00:31:20Can you give us an example?
00:31:25Sometimes I had to close my ears to get to sleep.
00:31:31He was always screaming at her, throwing things.
00:31:35Well, we appreciate your honesty, ma'am. We really do.
00:31:38But because you liked Mrs. Brooks so much,
00:31:41you wouldn't withhold any information to protect her, would you?
00:31:46No, sir.
00:31:48Good.
00:31:49Now, besides all the shouting and throwing things,
00:31:51did you ever actually hear Mr. Brooks threaten to kill Mrs. Brooks?
00:31:58Not Mrs. Brooks.
00:32:03So you heard him threaten to kill somebody else?
00:32:08Hello.
00:32:09Mr. Linsky?
00:32:10Yeah.
00:32:11This is Art Brooks. I think you know who I am.
00:32:15Uh, yeah.
00:32:16Listen up, buddy, and listen.
00:32:17This insulting little affair with my wife is over.
00:32:18Finished. Kaput.
00:32:19You understand what I'm saying?
00:32:21Are you threatening me, Mr. Brooks?
00:32:22Oh, this is no threat, Counselor. This is a fact.
00:32:24How do you stop seeing her?
00:32:25Yeah.
00:32:26I'm sorry.
00:32:27I'm sorry.
00:32:28I'm sorry.
00:32:29I'm sorry.
00:32:30I'm sorry.
00:32:31Yeah.
00:32:32I'm sorry.
00:32:33I'm sorry.
00:32:34I'm sorry.
00:32:35It's okay.
00:32:36Listen up, buddy, and listen to this insulting little affair with my wife is over, finished, kaput.
00:32:42You understand what I'm saying?
00:32:45Are you threatening me, Mr. Brooks?
00:32:47No, this is no threat, Counselor. This is a fact.
00:32:49Either you stop seeing her immediately or you're a dead man. You got it?
00:32:53A dead man.
00:33:06A dead man.
00:33:36Yeah, this is unit 6.
00:34:06Thanks. Good boy.
00:34:09This is a surprise.
00:34:12It just happened to be in the neighborhood.
00:34:14Jumping is pretty dangerous, isn't it?
00:34:16Not if you know what you're doing.
00:34:18It's a beautiful animal.
00:34:21Yeah.
00:34:21My husband always liked horses a lot more than he liked people.
00:34:27You didn't like Mr. Brooksburg much, did you?
00:34:29That's not true.
00:34:31He was a very different person when we got married.
00:34:35What changed?
00:34:37I didn't know it, but Art was a recovering alcoholic.
00:34:40And when he started drinking again, everything changed.
00:34:43I never hated my husband, detective.
00:34:46I only hated what he became when he drank.
00:34:50I'm sure you're aware that your husband threatened to kill Richard Linsky.
00:34:53He didn't stop seeing you.
00:34:55Art threatened and tried to intimidate everybody.
00:34:57That's just who he was.
00:34:59So you're saying that neither you nor Mr. Linsky took these threats seriously?
00:35:02No, I'm not saying that at all.
00:35:04I believe that Arthur was perfectly capable of killing Richard.
00:35:07Or me.
00:35:07Or anyone, for that matter, who got in his way.
00:35:10Listen, I lived with that fear every single day of my life.
00:35:13That's why I had to move out.
00:35:15But by moving in with Mr. Linsky, didn't you up the stakes?
00:35:18What do you mean?
00:35:18I mean he was a very jealous and volatile guy.
00:35:21Wasn't that like throwing fuel on the fire?
00:35:24Why did you come here, detective?
00:35:26To be honest, ma'am, ever since I talked to Mr. Linsky, I've been thinking.
00:35:29Thinking what?
00:35:30Maybe Mr. Linsky failed his life.
00:35:33Your life was in danger.
00:35:35And maybe he decided, without your knowledge, of course,
00:35:38to eliminate your husband before he could...
00:35:39That is ridiculous.
00:35:41Richard is the kindest, gentlest man I have ever known.
00:35:45He and Art were polar opposites, and that's why Art hated him so much.
00:35:48But Mr. Linsky knew about the threats.
00:35:50I don't care.
00:35:51Richard could never hurt anybody.
00:35:53You know what?
00:35:53This is really getting annoying, detective.
00:35:55Because right now, you're just grasping for straws.
00:35:58I'm simply trying to do my job, ma'am.
00:36:01Well, with all due respect, you're not doing it very well.
00:36:05Mrs. Brooks.
00:36:09I apologize, ma'am, if I offended you in any way.
00:36:13It's okay.
00:36:14Let's just forget about him.
00:36:17Yeah.
00:36:18Yeah.
00:36:22Detective?
00:36:23Do you enjoy your work?
00:36:28Why do you ask?
00:36:31Just curious.
00:36:32That's good, because I'm curious, too.
00:36:36And if you'll spare me just ten more minutes of your time,
00:36:38I won't have to bother you again.
00:36:41Is that a promise?
00:36:43This counts on it.
00:36:47Okay.
00:36:48Then why don't we go up to the house for something to drink?
00:36:50Sounds good to me.
00:37:01What about this?
00:37:03Stolen, abandoned the next morning, no prints.
00:37:06What did he steal?
00:37:07Ten grand worth of jewelry and watches?
00:37:09Yeah, and he left behind a fortune in art.
00:37:12Hmm.
00:37:13So we know it was a professional hit,
00:37:15probably with some help from the inside.
00:37:17What about the maid?
00:37:18I don't think so.
00:37:19So you think it was the wife and her boyfriend?
00:37:22That's the obvious.
00:37:23Two lovebirds figure they'd kill rather than be killed
00:37:27and then pocket a hundred million for their troubles.
00:37:30There's another scenario.
00:37:33Arthur Brooks was a big-time gambler
00:37:34with huge swings in his bank accounts.
00:37:36One month, he'd have ten million.
00:37:38The next, ten bucks.
00:37:40You know, I talked to a banker.
00:37:41He told me guys like Brooks
00:37:42are always floating a ton of debt.
00:37:44And he'd get into big problems
00:37:46if one of his lenders says, pay up.
00:37:48You think Brooks was involved with the mob?
00:37:51Well, I remember checking into it.
00:37:54He spent a lot of time in Vegas.
00:37:55You cross-reference all these phone records?
00:37:57A year's worth of Brooks,
00:37:59the wife, and Linsky's.
00:38:00I got a jury coming back.
00:38:05What about the cellular records?
00:38:07You check them?
00:38:08No, not yet.
00:38:09Oh, come on, guys.
00:38:11What the hell are you waiting for?
00:38:13The press is hounding us like crazy on this.
00:38:16Yeah?
00:38:17But tell the press we've had some cutbacks
00:38:19and we're dancing as fast as we can.
00:38:21It's the 21st century.
00:38:23People use cells, email, the Internet.
00:38:26Check it out.
00:38:29Yes, ma'am.
00:38:34Check this out.
00:38:40You know, Earl,
00:38:41I think she's got a crush on you.
00:38:44You think so?
00:38:44Oh, definitely.
00:38:45It's all in the eyes.
00:38:47Yes.
00:38:50Did you see today's paper?
00:38:53According to courthouse sources,
00:38:55Brooks' widow has hired
00:38:57famed defense attorney Abel Gans.
00:38:59Fueling speculation,
00:39:00Mrs. Brooks and her lover,
00:39:02Richard Linsky,
00:39:03may soon be indicted
00:39:04for the murder
00:39:05of the controversial sports tycoon.
00:39:07And who could have leaked
00:39:08something like this?
00:39:13No, I know.
00:39:15You're right.
00:39:16None of this matters.
00:39:21I gotta go.
00:39:22Excuse me, Miss Kelly?
00:39:26Yes, Lisa?
00:39:27Shall I set up for lunch in here?
00:39:30Oh, no, I think down by the pond.
00:39:32It's much too pretty a day to be inside.
00:39:34Yes, it is.
00:39:35Yes, sir.
00:39:49Abel Gans.
00:39:50I'm here to see Mrs. Brooks.
00:39:53Come on, get this.
00:39:57Come on, get this.
00:39:57I guarantee they'll have my drive up
00:40:08on the evening news.
00:40:10This is insane.
00:40:11I can't even go shopping
00:40:12without a TV crew following me around.
00:40:14You're right.
00:40:15This whole thing is completely out of control.
00:40:17I mean, we need to prepare for the worst.
00:40:18That is why Abel's here.
00:40:19But why are they looking at us
00:40:20instead of out there
00:40:21trying to find the real killer?
00:40:22It's because you're a sexier target
00:40:24in every sense of the word.
00:40:28But the media circus can work both ways.
00:40:31I can go on CNN
00:40:32and lecture the press
00:40:33about rushing to judgment.
00:40:35Everyone remembers
00:40:36that poor security guard in Atlanta.
00:40:38You can certainly raise some doubt
00:40:39about Art's character.
00:40:41Absolutely.
00:40:42Is that really necessary?
00:40:44Yes, it is.
00:40:45Richard is right.
00:40:46This case is already flavor of the day
00:40:48on trash TV and the tabloids.
00:40:50You just can't sit back
00:40:52and hope that somehow
00:40:54reason will prevail.
00:41:07Well, I hate to say it,
00:41:09but the Queen of Mean was right.
00:41:12The cell records.
00:41:14Guess who Richard Linsky called last month.
00:41:17O.J. Simpson?
00:41:17Better, one Vincent Coop DeVille.
00:41:21You're joking.
00:41:21No.
00:41:22And on the night of the murder,
00:41:23Vincent Coop DeVille
00:41:24used his cell phone to call
00:41:25Richard Linsky.
00:41:27Way to go, Holmes.
00:41:30Way to go.
00:41:33Here he is.
00:41:40Why did I think
00:41:40he'd be driving a Caddy?
00:41:41Not Coop.
00:41:46He's always had a lot of style.
00:41:53Yeah, well, that kind of style
00:41:54takes a lot of money.
00:41:57Man's resourceful.
00:42:00When the killing business is slow,
00:42:02he'll do a little kidnapping, extortion.
00:42:05Coop's always been an all-service gangster.
00:42:06Yeah, well, let's go bust his gangsta ass.
00:42:31Yeah?
00:42:31Mr. DeVille, there's a policeman
00:42:33on the way up to see you.
00:42:35Thank you, baby.
00:42:36Hey, Coop.
00:43:02Long time no see.
00:43:03Earl of Pearl,
00:43:04what brings you knock-knock-knocking
00:43:05on my front door?
00:43:06Got a search warrant, Coop.
00:43:07So why don't you invite me in?
00:43:11What's with the eggs?
00:43:13Just making an omelet.
00:43:15Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:43:16What's this all about?
00:43:18I've been investigating
00:43:19a big-time murder.
00:43:21Big time.
00:43:23Someone killed this sports guy,
00:43:25Arthur Brooks.
00:43:26Maybe you read about it in the papers.
00:43:29I don't read the papers.
00:43:30Too much negativity, right?
00:43:32Exactly.
00:43:34Hey, look, man,
00:43:35if you come here to accuse me of something,
00:43:37I got nothing to say to you
00:43:38until I talk to my lawyer.
00:43:41That's my partner.
00:43:42Door's open.
00:43:43Mingus!
00:43:48In here.
00:43:52Hey, man.
00:43:56You going on a trip?
00:43:58You are not going to believe this.
00:44:00I'm walking down the alley,
00:44:02and this comes flying out of that window.
00:44:05Gee,
00:44:05I wonder how that could have happened.
00:44:15Nice and light, Coop.
00:44:17Nice and light.
00:44:19I use it to shoot rabbits.
00:44:21Yeah, right.
00:44:23Yeah, I guess this is a new white coffee
00:44:25they're brewing in Columbia, huh?
00:44:26You know, Coop,
00:44:28possession of a firearm
00:44:29and narcotics
00:44:30with intent to sell
00:44:31is a serious violation
00:44:32of your parole.
00:44:34I didn't know what was in there
00:44:36until I got it home.
00:44:37I was just doing a favor
00:44:38for a friend.
00:44:39Let me tell you something, Coop.
00:44:41We believe you.
00:44:43Don't we, Eddie?
00:44:45Oh, yeah, absolutely.
00:44:47But some of these judges nowadays,
00:44:48they may not buy into this little...
00:44:49They got no heart, Coop.
00:44:52No human compassion.
00:44:54And under the three-strike rule,
00:44:55I do believe you're going to do
00:44:56hard time...
00:44:57Oh, very hard.
00:44:59...for the rest of your natural life.
00:45:04It's Monty Hall time, Coop.
00:45:06What do you say?
00:45:10Hi, Coop.
00:45:12Let's make a deal.
00:45:19Okay, man.
00:45:25But first, you've got to show me
00:45:28what's behind door number one.
00:45:41Is that exactly what he said?
00:45:45Good.
00:45:46Those are my instincts, too.
00:45:47I just hope he can yodel.
00:45:51No, don't you remember?
00:45:53We're going to the Alps
00:45:54for Oktoberfest.
00:45:56That's right.
00:45:58Okay.
00:45:59Okay.
00:45:59Ciao.
00:46:04Miskelly, miskelly!
00:46:06What's the matter, Lisa?
00:46:07The police are here.
00:46:08They want to talk to you.
00:46:09The police?
00:46:11Yes.
00:46:17I'm afraid I have some bad news for you, ma'am.
00:46:24What is it?
00:46:25I have to place you under arrest
00:46:26for conspiracy to commit murder.
00:46:28What?
00:46:29Oh, you've got to be kidding.
00:46:30What are you doing?
00:46:32Sorry.
00:46:32You can't do that.
00:46:33I have to call Richard.
00:46:34You can't.
00:46:34He's not home.
00:46:35Where is he?
00:46:36My partner picked him up ten minutes ago.
00:46:37Well, what are you doing?
00:46:39Get your hands off of me.
00:46:40You have the right to remain silent.
00:46:41If you give up that right,
00:46:42anything you say...
00:46:44I want to talk to Richard right now.
00:46:45He's doing a court of law.
00:46:46Why are you doing this to me, detective?
00:46:49I'm not a court of law.
00:46:49You're making a terrible mistake, detective.
00:46:51It's a terrible mistake.
00:46:52I didn't do anything.
00:46:54I'm innocent.
00:47:05Hey, baby, tomorrow morning.
00:47:07You're going to go up for it.
00:47:09Come on.
00:47:10Come on.
00:47:10God, am I happy to see you.
00:47:40This is beyond the night.
00:47:42I know.
00:47:43But not to worry.
00:47:45We'll sort it all out.
00:47:46What about Richard?
00:47:47Is he all right?
00:47:48I just spoke with him 20 minutes ago.
00:47:50He sends you his love.
00:47:51When can I see him?
00:47:53Probably not that we go to trial.
00:47:55What?
00:47:56What do you mean?
00:47:57I have to stay here until then?
00:47:58What about bail?
00:47:59We'll try.
00:48:00But I'm not optimistic.
00:48:03Kelly.
00:48:05This is murder one.
00:48:07With special circumstances.
00:48:08This is really insane.
00:48:11Unfortunately, the police have a confession from a professional killer who claims that you and Richard hired him to murder your husband.
00:48:18That's not what happened.
00:48:19In addition, there are some very incriminating phone records and bank transfers.
00:48:24So what are you saying?
00:48:26You think we're guilty?
00:48:28No.
00:48:29But I need some explanations.
00:48:32Otherwise, I can't begin to defend you.
00:48:34Look, I just need you to tell me what happened.
00:48:54Just tell me the truth.
00:49:06Okay.
00:49:06A couple of weeks after I moved out, I went to go see art, hoping maybe we could end things on a more positive note.
00:49:18No.
00:49:19You know, I've been divorced before, and it's always been unpleasant.
00:49:33But this time, for some reason, I'm taking it very personal.
00:49:39Arthur.
00:49:40No, hear me out, because this time, I really feel betrayed.
00:49:44I mean, it was bad enough you seeing this divorce lawyer behind my back.
00:49:47Then I find out that you're bopping the guy.
00:49:49I mean, talk about rubbing salt into my wounds.
00:49:52I never wanted to hurt you, Art.
00:49:54Well, you did.
00:49:55And when somebody kicks me, I kick them back.
00:49:58Only harder.
00:50:01You know what?
00:50:02This is not why I came here.
00:50:03Don't you honestly think that I'm going to allow you to just walk away with a ton of my money?
00:50:09Ha!
00:50:10I don't know what to think.
00:50:12I guess maybe I thought we could work things out like friends.
00:50:16Friends?
00:50:16Don't you understand we are now enemies, and I'm going to use every tool, legal or otherwise, to see you destroy?
00:50:20Let go of me!
00:50:22Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:50:24How about one last kiss for old time's sake?
00:50:25Get off me!
00:50:27If you really care about that new boyfriend of yours, I suggest you hire a food taster.
00:50:36Or someone to start his car every morning!
00:50:52Art kept his promise.
00:50:54He started a campaign of harassment that got more threatening by the day.
00:50:59I'd be driving along, and all of a sudden he'd pull up next to me.
00:51:02Or he'd send me flowers with a really twisted note.
00:51:14What?
00:51:15The machine...
00:51:16Richard?
00:51:22Hi.
00:51:22Hey, just checking in to see if Kelly's still worth it.
00:51:27Yes, she is beautiful, but what good will that do you if you wake up one morning with a bullet in your head?
00:51:34Dead man can't make love, you know.
00:51:38He's drunk.
00:51:39Yeah, well, that's when he's the worst.
00:51:41We can't do this anymore, Richard.
00:51:42We need to get some protection.
00:51:44Okay, okay.
00:51:45Let's just think this thing through here, okay?
00:51:47I don't know.
00:51:50Even with this tape, I don't think the police are gonna...
00:51:52We can't go to the police.
00:51:54This is gonna wind up in the newspapers.
00:51:55I mean, we're gonna be a laughingstock.
00:51:57Your career...
00:51:58Okay, what are you suggesting?
00:51:59I don't know.
00:52:00I don't know.
00:52:01Maybe we have to hire a bodyguard or a detective or something, but...
00:52:04Okay, all right, look.
00:52:06I know a P.I.
00:52:08He's an ex-federal agent.
00:52:09His name's Gene Walsh.
00:52:11He's very, very well connected.
00:52:14He's also very discreet.
00:52:16See what he thinks.
00:52:18He's a contract killer out of Vegas.
00:52:29There's nothing this guy wouldn't do if the money was right.
00:52:32So Art's planning to have Richard kill?
00:52:34No, no, come on.
00:52:34He's just probably trying to scare me away, right?
00:52:36I wouldn't take that.
00:52:37Why not?
00:52:38Because nobody hires Vinnie DeVille to scare.
00:52:41They hire him to kill.
00:52:42Oh, my God.
00:52:43Now we have to go to the police, Richard.
00:52:45I'm not sure that'll solve your problem.
00:52:47What do you mean?
00:52:48Well, the cops will take notes.
00:52:50They'll send a car by every eight hours.
00:52:53Meanwhile, Vinnie can sell the contract to somebody else,
00:52:55and Richard's life is still in danger.
00:52:58So what are we going to do?
00:53:03So what did Walsh suggest?
00:53:07He wanted to set up a meeting with Art,
00:53:10confront him with the information,
00:53:11make him call off DeVille,
00:53:13just settle everything once and for all.
00:53:16Is that what happened?
00:53:17No.
00:53:18The meeting with Art never took place.
00:53:20Walsh said he'd had it all arranged,
00:53:22and then it was canceled.
00:53:24Nobody ever told me why.
00:53:25I'm going to count to ten,
00:53:32and if you're still standing here,
00:53:33I'm going to start screaming.
00:53:34No, why would you want to do that?
00:53:35I'm going to count to ten,
00:53:36and if you're still standing here,
00:53:37I'm going to start screaming.
00:53:38I'm going to count to ten.
00:53:39I'm going to count to ten.
00:53:39I'm going to count to ten.
00:53:41I'm going to count to ten.
00:53:42Hi.
00:53:42How was your run?
00:53:45What?
00:53:45I'm Vincent DeVille.
00:53:48Okay, I'm going to count to ten,
00:53:50and if you're still standing here,
00:53:51I'm going to start screaming.
00:53:53No, why would you want to do that?
00:53:55Because I know who you are.
00:53:56Well, then you know I would never hurt you.
00:54:01At least not out here in the open like this.
00:54:03What do you want?
00:54:06I want to talk.
00:54:07About what?
00:54:09What a business proposition.
00:54:10I'm not interested.
00:54:12You know, I know all about that gumshoe Walsh
00:54:15planning to talk to your husband.
00:54:18Let me tell you something.
00:54:19I don't trust either one.
00:54:23I survive by my instincts.
00:54:26My gut tells me when somebody's trying to set me up.
00:54:30Set you up?
00:54:32Yeah.
00:54:33And that's why I want to talk to you.
00:54:36I've got a proposal.
00:54:38Something that I think is going to solve everybody's problems.
00:54:45Richard, talk to me.
00:54:46Please.
00:54:47Yeah.
00:54:48I don't know what to say.
00:54:51I can't believe you would even consider this.
00:54:53On second thought, hey, why not?
00:54:58We'll hire this professional killer, pay him an extra $10,000.
00:55:01He'll kill Art instead of me, and everything will be back to normal.
00:55:03This isn't funny.
00:55:04No, it's not, Kelly.
00:55:06But this is so out of control, and someone will end up dead unless we put a stop to it.
00:55:11I agree.
00:55:12I totally agree.
00:55:13But DeVille says that this is our only option.
00:55:17Option?
00:55:19Kelly, are you hearing what you're saying?
00:55:22Killing someone is not an option.
00:55:24Art is a monster, and he's going to kill you, and then he's going to kill me.
00:55:28That's what DeVille said, and there's only one way to stop him.
00:55:31I love you, Richard.
00:55:36But if anything ever happened to you, I don't think I could go on.
00:55:42I mean, he's right.
00:55:44We have no choice.
00:55:53Whether you did it for love or money, or just for the hell of it.
00:55:58But it's of no importance for him.
00:56:00Abel!
00:56:00No.
00:56:02Hear me out.
00:56:04As a defense attorney, I would guess that about 98% of my clients are guilty.
00:56:10And I don't have a problem with that, because my job is not the quest for truth.
00:56:16It's to provide my client with the best possible defense.
00:56:20But once a client tells me he's guilty, I can't provide him with the best possible defense,
00:56:25because the illusion of innocence that I need to maintain has been shattered.
00:56:29What are you talking about?
00:56:31What are you talking about?
00:56:32I am innocent.
00:56:33Didn't you just tell me?
00:56:35You never let me finish.
00:56:38Then tell me.
00:56:39Did you go ahead and pay Vincent DeVille to kill your husband?
00:56:45No.
00:56:46No.
00:56:47No, I did not.
00:56:51The next day, we came to our senses and decided to call the whole thing off.
00:56:56Looking back on it, I really feel I was on the verge of an Arbus breakdown.
00:57:00And as Richard said, it was madness.
00:57:02Absolute madness that I even proposed it.
00:57:05And that afternoon, Richard met with DeVille to tell him what we decided.
00:57:09How did DeVille take the news?
00:57:11Not well.
00:57:12DeVille went wild.
00:57:13He said we were double-crossing him.
00:57:15He demanded to be paid in full.
00:57:17And that's when he started blackmailing us.
00:57:20That explains the phone calls and the money transfers.
00:57:23Yes.
00:57:23I mean, this whole thing just...
00:57:29Richard finally told him that we were going to the police.
00:57:35And then the next morning, Detective Mingus came over and told us that Art was murdered.
00:57:42You have to believe me.
00:57:44I'm telling you the truth.
00:57:48We had nothing to do with the killing.
00:57:51It was all DeVille.
00:57:53I guess I made a mess of things.
00:58:05That you did.
00:58:08But I've seen worse.
00:58:11Now at least I have something to work with.
00:58:23How dare you walk away from me?
00:58:27Hey, nobody talks to me like that.
00:58:29Nobody.
00:58:29And no cop has the authority to make a deal like this.
00:58:32In case you forgot, Counselor, I called you about this.
00:58:35Yes.
00:58:36And I said I'd consider immunity.
00:58:38But little did I figure that you'd turn around and give away the store.
00:58:41Do you know what the press is going to do to us on this?
00:58:43To hell with the press.
00:58:44I made this deal because it was the only way to make Coop talk.
00:58:47And because I got Coop to talk, the case is solved, and you're going to get two high-profile convictions.
00:58:54You really don't get it, do you?
00:58:56All the public is going to hear is that we gave full immunity to an admitted killer.
00:59:02And no matter what happens at the trial, he goes scot-free.
00:59:05Excuse me, but I don't think you get it.
00:59:07Vinny DeVille may be scum, but he isn't stupid.
00:59:10If he doesn't get immunity, he'll show up in court and claim he made the whole thing up.
00:59:14A smart defense lawyer like Abel Gans will explain away all the circumstantial evidence, and bam!
00:59:19They're all not guilty.
00:59:20I just hope that you have started planning for your retirement, Detective.
00:59:29Because this time, you've gone too far.
00:59:33Oh, yeah?
00:59:34Let's see who has the last laugh, Counselor.
00:59:38Let's just wait and see.
00:59:46From the incriminating phone records, to the cash transfers,
00:59:49and the confession of their hired killer,
00:59:52we will show you a meticulously planned mosaic of murder.
00:59:58And ladies and gentlemen,
00:59:59please, do not be fooled by appearances.
01:00:04Don't keep asking yourselves,
01:00:06why?
01:00:07Why would such an attractive, well-educated couple
01:00:10plan such a savage crime?
01:00:13The answer is really quite simple.
01:00:18Sex
01:00:19and money.
01:00:23Lots of money.
01:00:25And for the defendants,
01:00:28Richard Linsky
01:00:29and Kelly Moore Brooks,
01:00:32that's what it all came down to.
01:00:35Jealousy
01:00:35and greed.
01:00:37Two of the oldest,
01:00:40most intoxicating,
01:00:43and deadliest
01:00:45of all criminal motives.
01:00:49There is one thing
01:00:51the prosecution said
01:00:52that I do agree with.
01:00:54This is really
01:00:55a very simple case.
01:00:57The entire government case
01:00:59is based on the word,
01:01:01the credibility,
01:01:02of a despicable lowlife
01:01:05named Vincent DeVille.
01:01:07Can you believe
01:01:09the prosecution
01:01:10gave an admitted killer
01:01:12total
01:01:13and absolute immunity?
01:01:16A free pass
01:01:17to go out
01:01:18and murder someone else.
01:01:20But there is
01:01:21a price
01:01:22for Mr. DeVille's cooperation.
01:01:25He must appear
01:01:26in this courtroom
01:01:27and lie,
01:01:30making up a story
01:01:31that never happened,
01:01:33hoping to convince you,
01:01:35like his good friends
01:01:36in the district attorney's office,
01:01:38that what he is saying
01:01:40could be true.
01:01:43But none of it is true,
01:01:45ladies and gentlemen.
01:01:47And please,
01:01:49remember something
01:01:50about Vincent DeVille
01:01:52when he takes
01:01:53the witness stand.
01:01:56His very name,
01:01:58DeVille,
01:01:59is derived
01:02:01from the word
01:02:02devil.
01:02:04And that is exactly
01:02:05what the prosecution
01:02:06has done.
01:02:08They've made a wicked,
01:02:10immoral,
01:02:11and self-serving deal
01:02:13with Lucifer himself.
01:02:15I do.
01:02:19Did you
01:02:20or the police
01:02:21first raise
01:02:22the issue of immunity?
01:02:24Me.
01:02:25I said no immunity,
01:02:26no information.
01:02:26And what if they
01:02:27had said no?
01:02:29I wouldn't have talked.
01:02:30You mean you wouldn't
01:02:31have implicated
01:02:32the defendants?
01:02:33Right.
01:02:35Is it against your nature
01:02:36to ever help anyone
01:02:37in law enforcement?
01:02:39Yeah.
01:02:41Mr. DeVille,
01:02:42are you aware
01:02:44that my office
01:02:45was very unhappy
01:02:46with the scope
01:02:47of immunity
01:02:47promised to you
01:02:49by the arresting officer?
01:02:51Yes.
01:02:52And do you also know
01:02:53that if you suddenly
01:02:55retracted everything
01:02:56in your confession
01:02:56because of that
01:02:58blanket immunity,
01:02:59there's not a thing
01:03:00that we could do
01:03:01to prosecute you
01:03:02for the killing
01:03:03of Arthur Brooks?
01:03:05Right.
01:03:07So why are you
01:03:08helping your enemies
01:03:08in law enforcement?
01:03:10I'm not here
01:03:11to help anyone here
01:03:12because I made a deal
01:03:13to tell the truth.
01:03:15And what is the truth,
01:03:17Mr. DeVille?
01:03:18Those two were behind
01:03:24this whole thing
01:03:25from the get-go.
01:03:26It's a total crock
01:03:27that Arthur Brooks
01:03:28hired me to kill them.
01:03:29They're the ones
01:03:29who hired me
01:03:30to kill him.
01:03:32You're a liar!
01:03:33Why are you doing this?
01:03:35Mr. Gantz,
01:03:36control your client.
01:03:40Yes, Your Honor.
01:03:42Mrs. Brooks,
01:03:43one more outburst
01:03:44like that
01:03:45and you'll be held
01:03:45in contempt,
01:03:46understand?
01:03:48Do you understand?
01:03:50Yes, sir.
01:03:58I first met
01:03:59Mr. Brooks
01:04:00through a mutual friend
01:04:01we had in a racing business.
01:04:04Brooks said he had a problem
01:04:05he was hoping I could fix.
01:04:08Sligo dancer.
01:04:12Yeah, that's a hell of a horse.
01:04:13This is a thrill, Mr. Brooks.
01:04:21You know, I won five grand
01:04:22on him in the derby.
01:04:24It's a big day for me.
01:04:33What a beautiful horse.
01:04:35You know, I've had a lot of women
01:04:41in my life,
01:04:42but I've never felt
01:04:43the way I do about Kelly.
01:04:45It's just something.
01:04:46She's so...
01:04:47How can I help?
01:04:50Well,
01:04:50I think she's been cheating on me
01:04:52with this yuppie divorce lawyer
01:04:54she's been talking to
01:04:54behind my back.
01:04:56You planning to get a divorce?
01:04:57No, I wasn't.
01:04:58And if it comes to that,
01:05:00I need you to get the facts
01:05:02but very discreetly.
01:05:04This weight's my specialty.
01:05:06Good.
01:05:07It has to be documented
01:05:08because adultery triggers
01:05:10a clause in our post-mup agreement
01:05:12which cuts her payout
01:05:13by 75%.
01:05:14I'll get on it right away.
01:05:16You know,
01:05:20nothing would make me happier
01:05:21if you came back to me
01:05:23and said that I was
01:05:24just imagining all this.
01:05:26It was all in my head.
01:05:30No, I see what you mean.
01:05:33She is one beautiful woman.
01:05:37And did you in fact
01:05:38uncover evidence
01:05:39that Mrs. Brooks
01:05:40was having an adulterous affair
01:05:41with Richard Linsky?
01:05:43Yes, I did.
01:05:44And how did Mr. Brooks
01:05:46react to this news?
01:05:49Not well.
01:05:53That son of a bitch.
01:05:56How did you get these?
01:05:57I'm sorry, boss,
01:05:58but you said you wanted the truth.
01:05:59Yeah, I can't believe
01:06:00they'd act like this in public
01:06:01or they could be seen
01:06:02by people who know me.
01:06:03I got some video, too.
01:06:05Yeah, I don't want to see it.
01:06:06You just hold on to it.
01:06:07It's just...
01:06:09It's so insulting.
01:06:13Listen.
01:06:16Can you, uh...
01:06:18throw a scare
01:06:19into this guy?
01:06:21Sure.
01:06:22Just tell me how big.
01:06:23Yeah, well, nothing physical.
01:06:24I just want you to start
01:06:24playing with his head.
01:06:27Really make his life miserable.
01:06:30Gotcha.
01:06:31Playing with people's heads
01:06:32is another one of my specialties.
01:06:33So I started doing my thing
01:06:41against Mr. Linsky.
01:06:43It's like April Fool's stuff,
01:06:45you know,
01:06:45leaving weird messages,
01:06:46following his car.
01:06:50Then one day,
01:06:50I'm out walking my dogs
01:06:51and all of a sudden,
01:06:52he's right there beside me.
01:06:53He says,
01:06:54uh,
01:06:54we need to talk.
01:06:57I'm gonna cut straight
01:06:58to the chase, pal.
01:07:00Art Brooks is never gonna let Kelly
01:07:01go under any circumstances.
01:07:03It's none of my business.
01:07:04No?
01:07:04But I've been checking on you
01:07:05and I know what your business is.
01:07:07Is that right?
01:07:08That's right.
01:07:09And I've got a serious
01:07:10business proposition for you.
01:07:14I'm all ears.
01:07:16Before Art Brooks
01:07:17has you kill me,
01:07:18you kill him.
01:07:18$25,000 up front,
01:07:19$25,000 when it's done.
01:07:21Are you interested?
01:07:25You make it $75,000
01:07:26with half of the front.
01:07:27I'm very interested.
01:07:28That's what I was hoping
01:07:31you'd say.
01:07:33And that,
01:07:34Mr. DeVille,
01:07:34is when the conspiracy
01:07:35to kill Mr. Brooks
01:07:37was agreed to.
01:07:38Yeah.
01:07:39After that,
01:07:40it was just working out
01:07:41the logistics.
01:07:43Everything the man said
01:07:44was a lie.
01:07:46We never had a meeting
01:07:47like that.
01:07:47It's preposterous.
01:07:50He's just making it up.
01:07:51He's the one
01:07:52who came to us.
01:07:53It's like the Twilight Zone.
01:07:54Something very strange
01:07:55is going on here.
01:07:56Richard's right.
01:07:57It's a conspiracy.
01:07:57I mean,
01:07:58why else would he be lying?
01:08:00He's lying to save his skin.
01:08:01That's the deal he made.
01:08:03And the DA
01:08:03has obviously coached him.
01:08:06I can't believe
01:08:07how nonchalant
01:08:09you are about all this.
01:08:11That's because
01:08:11we haven't got up to bat yet.
01:08:13Remember,
01:08:15Gene Walsh,
01:08:16a very respected
01:08:17private investigator,
01:08:18is going to blow a hole
01:08:19through everything
01:08:20DeVille said.
01:08:21And once his credibility
01:08:23is destroyed,
01:08:25the whole case is over.
01:08:26Mr. Dan,
01:08:28George's back.
01:08:29Okay.
01:08:32Now listen to me.
01:08:34No matter what
01:08:35outrageous lies you hear,
01:08:37keep your cool,
01:08:37all right?
01:08:38No more outbursts, Kelly.
01:08:41Block is a hanging judge,
01:08:44so don't give me
01:08:45any more rope.
01:08:45In your earlier testimony,
01:08:59Mr. DeVille,
01:09:00you said you liked
01:09:01Mr. Brooks.
01:09:03You even felt sorry for him.
01:09:05That's right.
01:09:06Then why did you brutally
01:09:07murder him in cold blood?
01:09:09Because that's what
01:09:10they hired me to do.
01:09:11And as a consummate professional,
01:09:13you always try to carry out
01:09:14the wishes of the people
01:09:15who hire you.
01:09:17Right?
01:09:19Right.
01:09:20So,
01:09:21if somebody said,
01:09:23I will give you
01:09:24total immunity
01:09:25against prosecution
01:09:26if you will lie
01:09:27on the witness stand,
01:09:28you'd certainly be prepared
01:09:29to do that, right?
01:09:31Objection,
01:09:31Your Honor.
01:09:32Sustained.
01:09:33With all due respect,
01:09:34Your Honor.
01:09:35Mr. Gantz,
01:09:36if you'd like,
01:09:36you may rephrase
01:09:37your question.
01:09:40Mr. DeVille,
01:09:42is there any crime
01:09:44that you wouldn't commit
01:09:45or help carry out
01:09:46if you were sufficiently
01:09:47compensated?
01:09:50I don't know.
01:09:52For example,
01:09:53if somebody offered you
01:09:55$100,000
01:09:56to kill a member
01:09:58of this jury,
01:09:59you wouldn't have
01:09:59a problem with that.
01:10:00Objection.
01:10:01This line of questioning
01:10:02is absurd.
01:10:03I agree.
01:10:04Strike the question
01:10:05from the record.
01:10:06Your Honor,
01:10:07the prosecution's
01:10:08entire case
01:10:09is built around
01:10:10the word
01:10:10of this admitted killer.
01:10:12That is not true.
01:10:13So I should be allowed
01:10:14to show the jury
01:10:15who this man
01:10:16really is
01:10:17in his own words.
01:10:18Your Honor,
01:10:19Mr. DeVille
01:10:19is not on trial here.
01:10:21But his word is.
01:10:22Fine.
01:10:23But like any witness,
01:10:25he deserves
01:10:25a certain degree
01:10:26of respect.
01:10:27Not browbeaten
01:10:28and badgered.
01:10:28Your Honor,
01:10:29this is all about PR.
01:10:30They're just embarrassed
01:10:31they're in bed
01:10:32with this animal.
01:10:33Your Honor.
01:10:34That's enough.
01:10:34Both of you.
01:10:38Now, I'm going to give
01:10:39you a little leeway
01:10:39here, Mr. Gantz,
01:10:40but I am warning you.
01:10:42Any more name-calling
01:10:43or attempts
01:10:44to inflame this jury
01:10:45and I will shut you
01:10:46down so hard
01:10:47and so fast.
01:10:48I understand,
01:10:48Your Honor.
01:10:49Well, you'd better.
01:10:51Now, unless there
01:10:51are any objections,
01:10:52let's break for lunch.
01:10:58Hey.
01:10:59I think Abel's
01:11:00scoring some points.
01:11:01I love you.
01:11:03I'll be just fine.
01:11:10I'll be just fine.
01:11:20Could I speak to my attorney
01:11:21just for one minute?
01:11:22What's the matter?
01:11:28You look like
01:11:29you've just seen a ghost.
01:11:31You know your theory
01:11:32that there's some kind
01:11:33of huge conspiracy
01:11:34going on in here?
01:11:36Well, I am beginning
01:11:37to believe you're right.
01:11:38What are you talking about?
01:11:39What happened?
01:11:40Gene Walsh,
01:11:41our star witness.
01:11:42The one person
01:11:43who knows that DeVille
01:11:44started this whole thing.
01:11:45What about him?
01:11:45He disappeared.
01:11:47He disappeared?
01:11:48Left a cryptic message
01:11:49with his secretary
01:11:50that he had to go to Europe
01:11:51and he hasn't been
01:11:52heard from since.
01:11:53What does this mean?
01:11:54What if he doesn't come back?
01:11:56I have to be honest.
01:11:57It's a killer.
01:11:58An absolute killer.
01:12:00People,
01:12:01there's got to be
01:12:01something we can do.
01:12:03Other than you
01:12:03and Richard taking the stand.
01:12:05I thought you said
01:12:05that that was too risky.
01:12:07But under the circumstances,
01:12:09we don't have
01:12:09any other options.
01:12:11Oh, my God.
01:12:12You'll be all right.
01:12:23So you're saying
01:12:24that conversation
01:12:24never happened?
01:12:26It didn't happen that way.
01:12:28And the conversation
01:12:29in the park
01:12:29that he described
01:12:31in such detail.
01:12:33Never took place.
01:12:37So just about everything
01:12:38that Mr. DeVille
01:12:39said on this witness stand
01:12:40was a lie?
01:12:42That's correct.
01:12:44Please, sir.
01:12:46In your own words,
01:12:48tell us what really happened.
01:12:51The day after we first met,
01:12:54we met again.
01:12:56Now, I don't understand
01:12:57what kind of game
01:12:58you're playing here.
01:12:59This is not a game.
01:13:00We just can't go through
01:13:00with something like this.
01:13:01Yeah, why's that?
01:13:02We slept on it
01:13:03and decided that
01:13:04it's just not who we are
01:13:05or who we want to become.
01:13:07Save this sermon
01:13:08for Sunday school,
01:13:09will you, pal?
01:13:10Listen,
01:13:11this is a major problem
01:13:13for me.
01:13:14We're willing to compensate
01:13:15you for any of your troubles.
01:13:17No kidding.
01:13:18I double-crossed my client.
01:13:20Now you double-cross me.
01:13:21What do you think
01:13:21that's worth?
01:13:22Whatever you think
01:13:23is fair.
01:13:24We just want out of it.
01:13:26Out of it?
01:13:27Yeah.
01:13:29Who do you think
01:13:30you're dealing with?
01:13:31That's some turnip
01:13:32that just fell off the truck!
01:13:33No.
01:13:34No.
01:13:35I bet that weasel
01:13:35Gene Walsh
01:13:36is behind all this, huh?
01:13:37He doesn't know
01:13:37anything about it.
01:13:38Yeah, right.
01:13:39And I bet you're not
01:13:40going to go to the cops
01:13:40and leave this
01:13:41to the press
01:13:41and sell me down
01:13:42the river either,
01:13:43are you?
01:13:43No.
01:13:53I ought to whack you
01:13:54right now.
01:13:56Right now!
01:13:58And have it blamed
01:13:59on your pal Arthur Brooks.
01:14:02That way I kill
01:14:02two birds with one stone.
01:14:05But then I don't
01:14:05make any money, do I?
01:14:08And somebody's going to
01:14:09pay for all this
01:14:09aggravation.
01:14:12Somebody's going to pay.
01:14:28So, fearing for your life,
01:14:31you agreed to pay
01:14:32Mr. DeVille's
01:14:33blackmail demands.
01:14:35Yes.
01:14:36And that explains
01:14:37the withdrawals
01:14:38from your accounts.
01:14:39And the matching deposits
01:14:40into Mr. DeVille's
01:14:42accounts.
01:14:42That's right.
01:14:44And when was
01:14:45the last time
01:14:46you actually spoke
01:14:48with Mr. DeVille?
01:14:50The night of the murder.
01:14:53No more excuses, man.
01:14:54I want that other
01:14:55ten grand tonight.
01:14:57There's no way
01:14:57I can get that kind
01:14:58of money now.
01:14:59They'll get it for me
01:15:00in jewelry, gold.
01:15:01But you stop
01:15:02jerking me around.
01:15:03I want it tonight.
01:15:04I want it tonight.
01:15:05I want it tonight.
01:15:08We didn't know
01:15:09what to do.
01:15:10He sounded so crazy
01:15:12on the phone
01:15:13and Kelly was
01:15:14falling apart.
01:15:15She said we had
01:15:16to go to the police.
01:15:19Instead,
01:15:19the next morning
01:15:20the police came to us
01:15:21to inform you
01:15:22that Arthur Brooks
01:15:24had been murdered.
01:15:26Yes.
01:15:26Thank you,
01:15:30Mr. Linsky.
01:15:31No further questions
01:15:32at this time,
01:15:33Your Honor.
01:15:34Miss Spina?
01:15:36If I could have
01:15:37a minute,
01:15:37Your Honor.
01:15:41So far,
01:15:42so good.
01:15:43Before they continue on,
01:15:44I need to talk
01:15:44to Richard in private.
01:15:47Why?
01:15:47It's very important.
01:15:48Please.
01:15:53Your Honor,
01:15:54may I approach
01:15:55the bench?
01:15:55You may.
01:15:57Miss Spina.
01:16:05Ever since I heard
01:16:06that our star witness
01:16:07disappeared,
01:16:08I am...
01:16:09I'm really giving this
01:16:10a lot of thought,
01:16:11ma'am.
01:16:12I don't want you
01:16:13to think that I'm
01:16:13acting out of despair
01:16:14or desperation or...
01:16:19Do what?
01:16:20What are you talking about?
01:16:22When I take the stand,
01:16:24I'm going to say
01:16:25that I hired DeVille
01:16:26to kill Art
01:16:26without your knowledge.
01:16:28You're going to do what?
01:16:28More than ever,
01:16:29I believe that there
01:16:30is a conspiracy
01:16:31against us, okay?
01:16:32And our only hope
01:16:33is for you to be acquitted
01:16:34and then work
01:16:34for my release.
01:16:35This is madness.
01:16:36No, no, listen to me.
01:16:37The jury is mostly women.
01:16:39When they hear my stories
01:16:40about Art's violent behavior,
01:16:41they are never going to agree
01:16:42to the death penalty.
01:16:43I'm going to use
01:16:44domestic abuse
01:16:44as my defense.
01:16:46Does Abel know about this?
01:16:47No, and he can't know
01:16:48about this either, okay?
01:16:49I have to do this
01:16:50or else we're both
01:16:51going down.
01:16:52I can feel it.
01:16:53You know I'll never
01:16:54let you do this.
01:16:54No, this is not
01:16:55an act of pure
01:16:56unselfishness, okay?
01:16:57Unless Gene Walsh
01:16:58suddenly reappears,
01:16:59this is our last hope
01:17:00of ever being reunited.
01:17:03I can survive prison.
01:17:06I can survive anything
01:17:07as long as I know
01:17:08that you are out there
01:17:09fighting for me.
01:17:10I don't know
01:17:14what to say.
01:17:15Don't say anything, okay?
01:17:17Just say that you love me.
01:17:19That's all that matters to me.
01:17:21Come on.
01:17:30Excuse me.
01:17:34Sorry, guys.
01:17:36Time's up.
01:17:40I love you.
01:17:49What's going on?
01:17:53Richard.
01:17:55Nothing.
01:18:02No, that is not true.
01:18:05If it isn't true,
01:18:06Mr. Linsky,
01:18:07when the police arrived
01:18:08to tell you about
01:18:09the murder of Arthur Brooks,
01:18:10why didn't you tell them
01:18:11about Mr. DeVille?
01:18:13Such a shock.
01:18:15We weren't thinking straight.
01:18:17And a day,
01:18:18a week,
01:18:19a month later,
01:18:20you still weren't
01:18:22thinking straight?
01:18:22We were scared.
01:18:25There was this
01:18:25whole media onslaught
01:18:26and we just
01:18:27never had time
01:18:28to think it through.
01:18:30But you were convinced
01:18:31that Vincent DeVille
01:18:33had committed the murder?
01:18:34Yes.
01:18:35Did you call him?
01:18:36Did you ask him
01:18:38point-blank
01:18:39if he had indeed
01:18:40killed Mr. Brooks?
01:18:41No.
01:18:42Because if Mr. DeVille
01:18:44was eventually caught,
01:18:45you didn't want
01:18:46any phone records
01:18:47connecting you.
01:18:48Isn't that the real reason?
01:18:51And the phone records
01:18:52that do connect you
01:18:53are panic calls,
01:18:55judgment errors.
01:18:57Isn't that true?
01:19:00Yes.
01:19:00And earlier,
01:19:02when you said
01:19:02you were scared,
01:19:04weren't you scared
01:19:05that what has happened
01:19:07would happen?
01:19:12I'm sorry.
01:19:13I didn't understand
01:19:13the question.
01:19:14Weren't you scared
01:19:16that you would be arrested
01:19:18and put on trial
01:19:19for the murder
01:19:20of Arthur Brooks?
01:19:22Yes.
01:19:29Yes.
01:19:30And the reason
01:19:31that you were so scared
01:19:33is because
01:19:34that everything
01:19:36that Vincent DeVille
01:19:38has said
01:19:39in this courtroom
01:19:40is in fact
01:19:42true.
01:19:48Yes.
01:19:48Yes.
01:19:48Yes.
01:19:52And isn't it
01:20:22true
01:20:22that Kelly Brooks
01:20:25was your partner
01:20:26and co-conspirator
01:20:27in this murderous plan?
01:20:29No.
01:20:31Oh, come on,
01:20:32Mr. Linsky.
01:20:33What's going on here?
01:20:35Now is the time
01:20:36to tell the truth.
01:20:38The whole truth.
01:20:39I'm telling the truth.
01:20:41Kelly knows nothing
01:20:42about any of this.
01:20:44DeVille convinced me
01:20:44that this was
01:20:45my only choice.
01:20:46Kill Arthur Brooks
01:20:47or be killed
01:20:48and that is the way
01:20:49it was.
01:20:49No!
01:20:50Richard,
01:20:51don't do this.
01:20:51Don't say anything.
01:20:53One more word,
01:20:54Mrs. Brooks,
01:20:54and I'll hold you
01:20:55in contempt.
01:20:56Then go ahead
01:20:56and hold me in contempt
01:20:57because I hold
01:20:58this whole circus
01:20:59in contempt.
01:21:00Remove the defendant.
01:21:01This is ridiculous.
01:21:02Richard is innocent.
01:21:04He's innocent.
01:21:05Quiet!
01:21:05Or I will have this courtroom
01:21:07cleared.
01:21:13Never in my entire
01:21:15professional life
01:21:16have I been so blindsided,
01:21:18so humiliated.
01:21:21Forget I'm your attorney.
01:21:23What about our friendship,
01:21:23huh?
01:21:25Do you know what
01:21:25the armchair quarterbacks
01:21:26are saying about me
01:21:27on the TV talk shows
01:21:28right now?
01:21:29I look like an idiot.
01:21:30An absolute idiot!
01:21:31I'm sorry, Abel.
01:21:34What else can I say?
01:21:35For starters,
01:21:36if it's true,
01:21:38why did you confess
01:21:39on the stand?
01:21:39We could have made
01:21:40a deal weeks ago!
01:21:41I had no choice!
01:21:42What?
01:21:43Kelly was going to say
01:21:44that she did it.
01:21:45That's what our little
01:21:46meeting was all about.
01:21:48Huh.
01:21:49I just couldn't let her do it.
01:21:50I could not let her
01:21:51take the fall.
01:21:52And nobody thought
01:21:53of telling me
01:21:54anything about this?
01:21:55I couldn't tell you.
01:21:56You'd try to stop me.
01:21:57No kidding.
01:21:58I can't believe
01:22:00that you hung me out
01:22:01to dry like this,
01:22:02Richard.
01:22:06I really can't believe it.
01:22:10Abel!
01:22:10He's totally innocent,
01:22:28you know.
01:22:29Everything DeVille
01:22:30said is a lie.
01:22:31And we were set up
01:22:32like bowling pins.
01:22:35It's like Art
01:22:36got his revenge,
01:22:37even from the grave.
01:22:38So now what happens?
01:22:41The DA wants
01:22:42to make a deal.
01:22:43With Richard?
01:22:44No.
01:22:45With you.
01:22:46With me?
01:22:48If you'll admit
01:22:49to a peripheral involvement
01:22:50in the case,
01:22:51they'll drop
01:22:51the murder charge.
01:22:53What does that mean?
01:22:54I can probably
01:22:55negotiate a sentence
01:22:56of two or three years.
01:22:57With good behavior,
01:22:58you'll be out
01:22:59in ten months.
01:23:00No way.
01:23:00Why should I make a deal?
01:23:02Because if you let
01:23:03the jury decide,
01:23:04it is very risky.
01:23:06You know what?
01:23:06I'd rather trust
01:23:07the jury than the DA.
01:23:09Unless I'm acquitted,
01:23:10they're going to hang
01:23:10this on me
01:23:11for the rest of my life.
01:23:12And unless I'm free,
01:23:13I can't help Richard
01:23:14get a new trial.
01:23:16Kelly.
01:23:16No.
01:23:17Abel, I'm innocent.
01:23:19Innocent.
01:23:19That means no deal.
01:23:21You may read the verdicts.
01:23:44On the charge of conspiracy
01:23:52to commit murder
01:23:53in the first degree
