00:00:00There was a time when it was believed that the shape of a person's head, its dimensions, could tell you
00:00:06if that person was a criminal.
00:00:08Those theories, now discredited, helped establish the study of crime and of criminals.
00:00:14Crim-mo-nology.
00:00:20You know, like all sciences, or maybe I should say disciplines, the study of crime has really changed a lot
00:00:28over the years.
00:00:28You know, one of the earliest formal methods of studying crime was called phrenology.
00:00:34And then, of course, we've had fingerprinting for a long time, which after that was considered to be the most
00:00:38exact science for determining who a person was.
00:00:42But, of course, now we have DNA, and that is the exact science for determining who's guilty and who's innocent.
00:00:50But in this course, we're not going to deal so much with the criminalistics as we are with the psychology
00:00:55of crime.
00:00:57What? Yes.
00:00:58May I help you?
00:00:59What are you doing?
00:01:00Well, I'm Professor Maxwell. I'm doing a class on beginning criminology.
00:01:04That's fine. Except I'm Professor Fulton, and this is my intro biology class.
00:01:09Biology?
00:01:11Oh, I...
00:01:13Then, uh, this is not Haney Hall.
00:01:16No.
00:01:17It would help a lot of all these buildings didn't look exactly alike.
00:01:20It might.
00:01:20First day of the semester, I think it'd get a little confusing.
00:01:23Seems that way.
00:01:24Class, I'll tell you what we're going to do is, uh, I'm going to turn the class over to, uh,
00:01:30Professor Fulton here, who's going to lecture you on the fascinating subject of biology.
00:01:36I mean, where would we be without biology, of course, back in the dark ages, probably.
00:01:42Sorry, you're maybe in the right classroom.
00:01:44I'm going to play.
00:02:57That was nice.
00:02:59Think I'll have another.
00:03:01Oh, you don't disapprove, do you?
00:03:04I wouldn't know how.
00:03:06Well, it's not like we can't afford it.
00:03:09Omnicom is the success story of our times.
00:03:12What didn't your husband mention?
00:03:15You're not that successful, Nelson.
00:03:18Don't lecture me.
00:03:19By all means, have another.
00:03:39Don't lecture me.
00:04:00Don't forget, I owe you a dinner.
00:04:02I'm counting the hours.
00:04:07Stop by my house tomorrow.
00:04:08I'll give you a news release on a corporate bond.
00:04:10I'll give you a news release on getting approved.
00:04:11Absolutely.
00:04:12And, um, you know, lobbyist is not a four-letter word.
00:04:16No, it's eight.
00:04:20Decent of you to show up.
00:04:21I am so sorry.
00:04:23You know, the dinner is probably an iceberg by now.
00:04:26Raymond, I'm...
00:04:27Everyone thinks you're this girl from the PR department on the make.
00:04:32They don't know that you're willing to do whatever you can to get the inside story on us
00:04:36for that rag you secretly write for.
00:04:39Yeah, that's right.
00:04:41She's an investigative reporter for financial press,
00:04:45hoping to bring down the company with the smear campaign against me and any of you she can get her
00:04:51claws into.
00:04:52You are drunk.
00:04:54We've all had enough fun for tonight.
00:04:56The party's over.
00:04:58I want to see you in my office in the morning.
00:05:01Yes, sir.
00:05:11Not so fast.
00:05:13We still have lots we have to talk about.
00:05:19Unbelievable.
00:05:20I can't believe it.
00:05:21I can't take Nelson seriously.
00:05:23I wouldn't put it past her.
00:05:25I don't want to believe it.
00:05:29It's true, isn't it?
00:05:30I don't want to believe it.
00:05:32I don't want to believe it.
00:05:33I don't want to believe it.
00:05:34I never betrayed her.
00:05:35I don't envy her.
00:05:37But if you were nice to me, I could make an exception.
00:05:45I don't even know if you're sober enough on here.
00:05:48You could really save yourself the headache.
00:05:50I could possibly feel taken.
00:05:51I don't want to believe it.
00:06:21I don't want to believe it anymore.
00:06:42I can't believe it anymore.
00:06:44I don't want to believe it.
00:06:45There it comes.
00:06:45There you go.
00:06:46It was late.
00:06:57are you okay miss yes i'm fine thank you look we just may ask you a few more questions so
00:07:04you
00:07:04don't intend to leave town soon do you no why do you ask i thought this was a gas leak
00:07:09or something
00:07:10yeah that was my first guess too and what was it well it seems the firefighters found an incendiary
00:07:17device so what does that mean well they'll have to check it out to be certain but it looks like
00:07:24this thing could have been set off with a remote control is that possible nothing's ever 100%
00:07:29but these firefighters rarely make a mistake on something like this but who would have said it
00:07:34off miss you'd be surprised at what some people would do please
00:07:45you know i wasn't a big fan of his it's a horrible way to die you'll let me know what
00:07:52you find out you'll be one of the first
00:07:59i'm safe now
00:08:20of course there are certain questions the criminal justice system must answer for instance does the
00:08:28suspect have a sufficient motive did he have an opportunity and in the absence of any kind of a
00:08:35legitimate confession what kind of evidence is there eyewitness circumstantial or forensic
00:08:42no this is the most heinous crime an individual can commit and as criminologists what we're interested in
00:08:51is why why do people kill other people
00:09:17that's my car
00:09:18hey hey hey hey that's my car hey hey hey hey oh
00:09:33oh man
00:09:50you know most murders are committed for very mundane reasons passion race hatred revenge
00:09:57and the ever popular greed yes henrietta professor maxwell where do serial killers fit into this
00:10:08oh they're in a league by themselves henrietta we're going to deal with that a little later in
00:10:13the term but right now i'm interested in people more like ourselves you know any one of us is
00:10:19capable of committing a murder under the right set of circumstances even professors of criminology
00:10:24that depends on the quality of your term paper henrietta
00:10:31but no you most of us usually don't go around committing murders so when one of us usually
00:10:35law-abiding citizens does we have to search out why

00:12:29yesterday evening nelson raymond chief financial officer of corporate giant omnicom
00:12:33was brutally murdered in an explosion at his home
00:12:37seen here earlier today is cheryl collins an investigative reporter who is the primary suspect
00:12:43in the bombing in other news the city council announced yet again plans to bring a major
00:12:48football franchise to the la area i won't hold my breath
00:12:57see you tonight
00:13:05you
00:13:12you
00:13:13you
00:13:25you
00:13:43That's pretty much it.
00:13:44Well, the co-worker said the two of them had a thing going,
00:13:47and the eyewitness said that they had a big fight the night he was killed.
00:13:50I'm accused of being an undercover reporter. How's that work?
00:13:53I don't know. You got to ask her.
00:13:56You guys found some C4 in her garage.
00:13:58Is the same stuff the firefighter said caused an explosion?
00:14:01Along with some wires, a couple of fuses, you know,
00:14:04just the usual stuff we all have in our garage.
00:14:07Could have been planted.
00:14:08Yeah, right. And if frogs had wings, they wouldn't live in the swamps.
00:14:12Come on, Mike, you were a cop.
00:14:15Now, you know we've got enough here for a righteous bust.
00:14:19Omnicom's right up there with Enron.
00:14:21Must be a lot of heat to nail her.
00:14:22Well, the investigation's not over yet.
00:14:24Never know what might pop up.
00:14:26Well, you know that better than anybody, Mike.
00:14:29Isn't that why you're out there making the big bucks
00:14:31instead of being in here with the good guys?
00:14:41Miss Collins, I'm Mike Bryant.
00:14:43I've been pertained as an investigator on your case by Miss St. John.
00:14:47Well, I've already told her everything I know.
00:14:50Well, it would help me if I could hear it from you.
00:14:53Go ahead.
00:14:54I don't seem to have any pressing engagements.
00:14:58Anything you tell me will have the same confidentiality as you'd have with an attorney.
00:15:03First question.
00:15:07Who had a motive to kill Raymond?
00:15:09Yeah, Omnicom, for starters.
00:15:12Well, the company is a real rat's nest.
00:15:15All the major players were at the party.
00:15:18Carl Larch, president and CEO of Omnicom.
00:15:21He's responsible for all of their real estate, energy, cable TV interests.
00:15:27Was a one-time pitchman for bodybuilding miracles.
00:15:30Probably only a couple of steps away from an indictment on fraud charges.
00:15:34Larch's wife, Betty, the resident black widow.
00:15:37Reputed to be the brains behind the brains.
00:15:41Charles Burke, head of marketing, and I suspect procurement for the rest of the boys' club.
00:15:47On the Omnicom board is a former lobbyist who knows where the bodies are buried.
00:15:52Probably buried a few himself.
00:15:54Were you having an affair with Raymond?
00:15:56Next question.
00:15:57I'll take that as a no.
00:15:59With anyone at Omnicom?
00:16:01Good question.
00:16:03No.
00:16:04The night he was murdered, Raymond accused you of being an investigative reporter working undercover.
00:16:08Now, what was that about?
00:16:09Well, it's true.
00:16:10I was sent in by financial press to investigate some possible book cooking.
00:16:15A couple months ago, I got an anonymous tip that Omnicom is the next end loan.
00:16:20My publisher knows that this is big news, so I'm sent in.
00:16:23He calls in a favor from a PR firm, doctors up a resume, and since I can be charming at
00:16:29times,
00:16:30these well-tailored goons hired me.
00:16:33What was your connection to Raymond?
00:16:35Well, he's the chief financial officer, so he's the best source.
00:16:38I tell him I'm developing a PR piece on the company.
00:16:42I get an editor at the press to guarantee that it will run,
00:16:45and I convince Raymond that he's going to be a star.
00:16:48So why did he turn on you?
00:16:49I have no idea.
00:16:51Is Cheryl Collins your real name?
00:16:53Well, I wouldn't lie about that.
00:16:55It's easier to keep my story straight.
00:16:58Clever girl.
00:16:59I'll see.
00:17:07Miss Collins, you're free to go.
00:17:11Are you dropping the charges?
00:17:12She made bail.
00:17:14I thought it was set at a million dollars.
00:17:16Her publisher managed to put up the necessary ten percent.
00:17:19He likes my writing.
00:17:21Since we're supposed to keep the defense informed, my men just checked this out.
00:17:25With the remote to set off the bomb?
00:17:27Same frequency.
00:17:28Prints?
00:17:29Smudged.
00:17:30So why are you showing me this?
00:17:31We just found that under a mat in the trunk of your car.
00:17:34You really think she'd keep it with her?
00:17:36I'm the one who called the police.
00:17:38Well, the cynic might say that that was a real clever move.
00:17:41Bet you didn't have a chance to get rid of it.
00:17:43I went straight home after I saw you.
00:17:45If it was her, she could have just dropped it on the way.
00:17:47Except I had her followed.
00:17:49She never had a chance to get around to the trunk of that car before we brought her in.
00:17:55Unless you have anything else to say, you can go.
00:18:01So now what do we do?
00:18:03I know you go home.
00:18:04And don't take any calls unless they're from Joan St. John or me.
00:18:08Don't avoid the press?
00:18:10Especially the press.
00:18:36What's the hurry?
00:18:38What are you doing here?
00:18:39Let everybody lunch.
00:18:41Oh.
00:18:42Isn't it my turn?
00:18:43Uh, actually it is.
00:18:44Good, good.
00:18:45I didn't forget.
00:18:46Which means...
00:18:47You want some.
00:18:48I do, but I'm willing to pay for it.
00:18:50I ordered your favorite Qinglao's for lunch.
00:18:52Oh, Chinese?
00:18:54Where's the twice-cooked pork?
00:18:56Here you go.
00:18:57Here's a napkin.
00:18:58You know what?
00:18:59You better take two.
00:19:00Didn't bring a fork, did you?
00:19:03Were you taking all of those?
00:19:05I'm going to save them for later.
00:19:08Want some more rice?
00:19:09It's fried.
00:19:10So?
00:19:11You know I don't like fried rice.
00:19:13You love fried rice.
00:19:15Your daughter loves fried rice.
00:19:17I like brown rice.
00:19:18Oh.
00:19:19I guess that means you're not my daughter.
00:19:21Glad we got that straight.
00:19:24So what do you think of this young woman defendant?
00:19:26She's smart.
00:19:28Well, that helps.
00:19:30You think she's innocent?
00:19:31Yeah, I do.
00:19:33She's attractive then, huh?
00:19:36Yeah, and it's got nothing to do with it.
00:19:40I just think she's too smart to knock somebody off this way.
00:19:43And if she didn't have an affair with the victim, she's got no motive.
00:19:45Well, we don't know that for sure, though, do we?
00:19:47If she didn't have an affair.
00:19:48I don't know, John.
00:19:50It was on an important assignment.
00:19:52It's just without a character.
00:19:55She's also an investigative reporter.
00:19:57They can learn to put us some pretty fancy facades.
00:20:00Meaning maybe I'm not seeing her clearly?
00:20:02I didn't say that.
00:20:04How long have we known each other, John?
00:20:0630 years?
00:20:0732.
00:20:07You just got back from Vietnam.
00:20:09Right.
00:20:09And thanks to you, I straightened up and studied criminology.
00:20:14So anyway, you'll meet her and you'll judge for yourself.
00:20:18I'm meeting her?
00:20:19You told me you'd help me on this case.
00:20:22You didn't forget that, did you?
00:20:23You're playing on my absent-mindedness is very low.
00:20:26We both know I didn't promise you anything.
00:20:28You'll help because you're intrigued.
00:20:30Maybe.
00:20:30Maybe you'll help or maybe you're intrigued.
00:20:32I'm intrigued and maybe you'll help.
00:20:35Let's go.
00:21:09Let's go.
00:21:35Let's go.
