WEBVTT

00:03:43.166 --> 00:03:45.703
This was my body.

00:03:55.762 --> 00:03:59.346
On December 27, 1979,

00:03:59.682 --> 00:04:01.513
I lay in bed all day.

00:04:02.268 --> 00:04:05.431
Whether I was asleep or in a coma

00:04:06.022 --> 00:04:08.479
later became a subject of dispute.

00:04:11.945 --> 00:04:14.027
When my breathing became obstructed...

00:04:14.364 --> 00:04:15.364
Maria!

00:04:15.573 --> 00:04:18.360
My husband, claus Von bulow,

00:04:19.035 --> 00:04:22.243
finally did as my maid
had been urging all day.

00:04:23.248 --> 00:04:24.363
He summoned a physician.

00:04:25.291 --> 00:04:26.291
Dr. paultees.

00:04:26.668 --> 00:04:27.999
I stopped breathing.

00:04:29.087 --> 00:04:30.497
My heart stopped beating.

00:04:31.505 --> 00:04:34.338
By this time,
I was certainly in a deep coma

00:04:35.176 --> 00:04:37.918
from which I awoke several hours later.

00:04:38.888 --> 00:04:41.971
By the next morning, I was myself again.

00:04:42.141 --> 00:04:43.881
There's no reason for all this fuss.

00:04:45.186 --> 00:04:47.552
I've never felt better in my whole life.

00:04:47.814 --> 00:04:50.977
This first coma aroused suspicion and fear

00:04:51.150 --> 00:04:53.732
in the minds of my personal maid, Maria,

00:04:54.445 --> 00:04:55.730
my son, Alex,

00:04:56.072 --> 00:04:57.733
and my elder daughter, ala.

00:04:58.574 --> 00:04:59.734
From this time on,

00:05:00.159 --> 00:05:02.445
though they never voiced
their suspicions to me,

00:05:03.121 --> 00:05:06.033
they kept a vigilant eye on claus.

00:05:07.125 --> 00:05:10.117
A year later, just before Christmas,

00:05:10.628 --> 00:05:13.461
their darkest fears seemed justified.

00:05:13.715 --> 00:05:14.955
Has mummy had breakfast yet?

00:05:15.466 --> 00:05:16.466
No, we haven't seen her.

00:05:33.109 --> 00:05:35.316
My husband did not want
our daughter, cosima,

00:05:35.486 --> 00:05:37.067
to see what he had found,

00:05:37.322 --> 00:05:39.859
so he motioned to his stepson Alex.

00:05:54.464 --> 00:05:55.579
Second coma.

00:05:55.757 --> 00:05:58.089
- Oh, no.
- My pulse was 38,

00:05:58.468 --> 00:06:02.052
my temperature, 81.6 degrees.

00:06:04.849 --> 00:06:06.134
Did you call an ambulance?

00:06:09.062 --> 00:06:11.348
Nicholas, would you ask Robert
to open the main gates?

00:06:11.606 --> 00:06:12.766
We're expecting an ambulance.

00:06:12.815 --> 00:06:13.815
Mrs. Von bulow...

00:06:13.983 --> 00:06:15.939
Ma'am, send an ambulance immediately.

00:06:16.110 --> 00:06:17.710
= it's on belleview Avenue.

00:06:18.112 --> 00:06:19.912
- Look, bring her something warm.
- Thank you.

00:06:20.114 --> 00:06:21.979
Uh, or... or blankets
or anything you can find.

00:06:22.158 --> 00:06:24.740
All this activity was pointless.

00:06:27.121 --> 00:06:28.281
We better do an eeg.

00:06:28.456 --> 00:06:30.196
I never woke from this coma,

00:06:31.125 --> 00:06:32.205
ahd I never will.

00:06:34.087 --> 00:06:36.954
I am what doctors call
persistent vegetative,

00:06:37.632 --> 00:06:38.632
a vegetable.

00:06:40.927 --> 00:06:42.463
According to medical experts,

00:06:42.637 --> 00:06:45.629
I could stay like this
for a very long time,

00:06:46.349 --> 00:06:49.591
brain-dead, body better than ever.

00:06:51.604 --> 00:06:53.686
Enter Robert brillhoffer,

00:06:54.524 --> 00:06:56.640
former Manhattan district attorney.

00:06:57.443 --> 00:06:59.650
My two children from my first marriage,

00:06:59.821 --> 00:07:01.812
Alex and ala Von auersberg,

00:07:02.323 --> 00:07:05.565
hired brillhoffer to investigate the case.

00:07:07.453 --> 00:07:10.866
He put a "do not resuscitate” order
on her hospital chart.

00:07:11.124 --> 00:07:13.706
They sent Alex and a private investigator

00:07:14.043 --> 00:07:16.705
back to my Newport cottage,
clarendon court,

00:07:17.463 --> 00:07:19.249
to search for drugs.

00:07:22.176 --> 00:07:23.666
They found plenty

00:07:24.178 --> 00:07:25.839
in claus' closet.

00:07:26.597 --> 00:07:27.677
On top of that,

00:07:28.015 --> 00:07:29.346
the hospital lab reported

00:07:29.517 --> 00:07:31.508
that my blood Insulin on admission

00:07:31.686 --> 00:07:33.768
was 14 times normal,

00:07:34.730 --> 00:07:38.097
a level almost surely caused by injection.

00:07:39.277 --> 00:07:42.690
Insulin injection could
readily cause coma...

00:07:44.031 --> 00:07:45.031
Or death.

00:07:47.452 --> 00:07:50.785
This encrusted needle
tested positive for Insulin.

00:07:52.957 --> 00:07:54.788
Alex couldn't wait to get back...

00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:55.618
Let's get out of here.

00:07:55.793 --> 00:07:56.953
And show brillhoffer.

00:07:58.296 --> 00:08:00.161
Now they felt they had the murder weapon.

00:08:00.840 --> 00:08:03.081
All they lacked was the motive.

00:08:03.926 --> 00:08:04.756
At that moment,

00:08:04.927 --> 00:08:07.168
my husband was vacationing
with his mistress,

00:08:07.597 --> 00:08:12.387
the very beautiful soap opera actress,
Alexandra isles.

00:08:12.685 --> 00:08:13.390
Oh, god.

00:08:13.561 --> 00:08:15.802
Mrs. isles, a divorcée,

00:08:16.397 --> 00:08:18.058
was the daughter of an old friend,

00:08:18.232 --> 00:08:19.438
count Billy botsky.

00:08:23.362 --> 00:08:26.320
Brillhoffer also discovered that,
at my death,

00:08:26.657 --> 00:08:30.491
claus, whose own net worth
was only a million dollars,

00:08:30.828 --> 00:08:33.911
stood to inherit 14 million from me.

00:08:34.916 --> 00:08:36.998
Alexandra later testified

00:08:37.668 --> 00:08:41.377
that claus showed her
a legal analysis of my will.

00:08:43.090 --> 00:08:47.880
On the evidence collected by Alex, ala,
and their lawyer, brillhoffer,

00:08:48.386 --> 00:08:50.502
my husband was accused of twice trying

00:08:50.681 --> 00:08:53.218
to murder me with injections of Insulin.

00:08:54.101 --> 00:08:56.888
On march 16, 1982,

00:08:57.395 --> 00:08:59.761
he was found guilty on both counts.

00:08:59.941 --> 00:09:02.933
Charged the defendant
committed on December 27th, 1979...

00:09:03.110 --> 00:09:06.602
Even Alexandra isles
testified against him.

00:09:06.781 --> 00:09:07.440
How do you find?

00:09:07.782 --> 00:09:08.441
Guilty.

00:09:08.616 --> 00:09:09.968
As to count two,

00:09:09.992 --> 00:09:13.075
charge the defendant committed
on December 21, 1980,

00:09:13.454 --> 00:09:15.615
the crime of assault
with intent to murder,

00:09:15.873 --> 00:09:16.487
how do you find?

00:09:16.666 --> 00:09:17.246
Guilty.

00:09:17.542 --> 00:09:21.376
You are about to see how
claus Von bulow sought to reverse...

00:09:22.004 --> 00:09:24.791
Or escape from that jury's verdict.

00:09:26.425 --> 00:09:27.585
You tell me.

00:09:34.350 --> 00:09:35.385
And two!

00:09:36.143 --> 00:09:37.287
Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!

00:09:37.311 --> 00:09:38.096
Taking you downtown!

00:09:38.271 --> 00:09:39.271
Air dersh!

00:09:41.065 --> 00:09:42.646
Take it in! Take it in! Foul!

00:09:43.150 --> 00:09:46.233
Okay. Here I go.
Here I go! Watch the hands!

00:09:46.404 --> 00:09:47.404
Watch the hands!

00:09:53.703 --> 00:09:54.703
Yeah, hello.

00:09:56.163 --> 00:09:57.163
What?

00:10:00.293 --> 00:10:01.908
Oh, shit. Ju... bottom line.

00:10:03.588 --> 00:10:04.588
Oh, shit!

00:10:26.027 --> 00:10:27.027
Hi.

00:10:33.784 --> 00:10:34.784
Let's try that again.

00:10:34.869 --> 00:10:36.279
Hi, dad. Remember Maggie?

00:10:38.247 --> 00:10:39.532
Hi, Maggie. Hello.

00:10:42.585 --> 00:10:45.327
They're going to fry.
The Johnson brothers.

00:10:46.005 --> 00:10:47.005
What?

00:10:48.507 --> 00:10:49.507
But...

00:10:51.010 --> 00:10:53.296
Two black kids broke
their father out of prison.

00:10:53.804 --> 00:10:55.135
The father shot two people,

00:10:55.306 --> 00:10:56.796
and the sons are convicted of murder.

00:10:56.974 --> 00:10:58.930
A lawyer prays for an innocent client.

00:10:59.226 --> 00:11:01.387
Finally, finally, I get two.

00:11:01.646 --> 00:11:02.831
Both of them are going to get zapped.

00:11:02.855 --> 00:11:03.855
No more appeals?

00:11:03.898 --> 00:11:05.578
Supreme court, but this was the best shot.

00:11:07.610 --> 00:11:08.610
Mmm!

00:11:09.236 --> 00:11:09.975
It's the press.

00:11:10.154 --> 00:11:11.834
You don't want to talk to the press?

00:11:13.949 --> 00:11:15.610
Dershowitz psychiatric institute.

00:11:17.912 --> 00:11:18.912
Yeah, hang on a second.

00:11:19.747 --> 00:11:20.747
Claus Von bulow.

00:11:22.416 --> 00:11:23.416
It's a reporter.

00:11:23.834 --> 00:11:24.914
With an english accent?

00:11:28.005 --> 00:11:30.963
If I can't save two innocent kids,
what's the point?

00:11:31.133 --> 00:11:33.813
- I might as well hang it up.
- Yeah. One second, one second, sorry.

00:11:34.178 --> 00:11:36.089
He really seems to think he's Von bulow.

00:11:36.389 --> 00:11:37.799
Hello. This is Alan Dershowitz.

00:11:37.973 --> 00:11:39.173
Who are you? What do you want?

00:11:43.813 --> 00:11:44.933
It's Von bulow.

00:11:45.690 --> 00:11:46.690
Back in business.

00:11:53.864 --> 00:11:54.966
Can I help you, sir?

00:11:54.990 --> 00:11:55.649
Claus Von bulow.

00:11:55.825 --> 00:11:57.745
Elevator's to the left, go right ahead.

00:12:05.209 --> 00:12:06.209
Holy shit.

00:12:14.552 --> 00:12:15.552
Hello?

00:12:22.268 --> 00:12:23.383
Hello?

00:12:24.478 --> 00:12:27.595
Professor Dershowitz, hello, hello.

00:12:28.441 --> 00:12:29.851
How good of you to come.

00:12:30.693 --> 00:12:31.693
Pleasure.

00:12:31.944 --> 00:12:32.944
Won't you sit down?

00:12:40.995 --> 00:12:41.995
Do you play?

00:12:42.163 --> 00:12:43.198
That? No.

00:12:44.915 --> 00:12:46.655
Most people think it's a game of luck.

00:12:47.668 --> 00:12:50.080
Actually, it's largely a matter of nerve.

00:12:54.425 --> 00:12:57.337
Um... nothing, thank you, Charles.

00:12:58.471 --> 00:13:01.634
Why don't we go to delmonico's
and have a proper lunch?

00:13:02.475 --> 00:13:03.475
Whatever.

00:13:08.022 --> 00:13:10.138
I should tell you that
I have the greatest respect

00:13:10.316 --> 00:13:13.023
for the intelligence and
integrity of the Jewish people.

00:13:17.114 --> 00:13:18.114
When I married sunny,

00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.572
she was the most beautiful divorcée
in the world

00:13:20.910 --> 00:13:22.275
and one of the wealthiest.

00:13:22.912 --> 00:13:25.949
Even so, we never got this table.

00:13:26.373 --> 00:13:27.373
Professor Dershowitz.

00:13:31.170 --> 00:13:32.170
Dr. Von bulow.

00:13:33.464 --> 00:13:35.671
Two injections of Insulin,
already I'm a doctor.

00:13:36.592 --> 00:13:39.629
No, in America,
it's fame rather than class.

00:13:40.095 --> 00:13:43.383
Now, after all this unpleasantness,

00:13:43.557 --> 00:13:46.299
I always get the best table and...

00:13:47.186 --> 00:13:48.722
Speaking of the unpleasantnhess...

00:13:48.896 --> 00:13:51.228
Oh, yes, I suppose
we better discuss your fee.

00:13:53.275 --> 00:13:54.275
Okay.

00:13:55.319 --> 00:13:56.479
It's 300 dollars an hour.

00:13:57.154 --> 00:13:58.154
Good lord!

00:13:59.657 --> 00:14:01.488
You know, I used to be a lawyer in London.

00:14:02.076 --> 00:14:03.407
That sounds a bit steep.

00:14:03.661 --> 00:14:05.021
It's average for a case like this.

00:14:05.329 --> 00:14:06.944
Besides, I do a lot of pro bono work.

00:14:07.748 --> 00:14:08.748
You would pay for that.

00:14:09.375 --> 00:14:11.095
Plus, I have to pay students, associates...

00:14:11.210 --> 00:14:14.327
Are you saying if I agree to pay 300,

00:14:15.256 --> 00:14:16.666
you will handle my appeal?

00:14:16.841 --> 00:14:17.841
No, not so far.

00:14:18.008 --> 00:14:19.488
It doesn't look like my kind of case.

00:14:21.637 --> 00:14:22.797
I'm not a hired gun.

00:14:23.556 --> 00:14:26.156
I got to feel there's some moral
or constitutional issue at stake.

00:14:26.267 --> 00:14:28.303
But I'm absolutely innocent,

00:14:28.978 --> 00:14:31.811
and my civil liberties
have been egregiously violated.

00:14:32.898 --> 00:14:35.105
I've got two black kids
facing the electric chair

00:14:35.276 --> 00:14:36.891
for a crime they did not commit.

00:14:38.153 --> 00:14:39.313
They are innocent.

00:14:41.657 --> 00:14:43.989
Well, before you assume I'm guilty,

00:14:44.785 --> 00:14:45.900
won't you hear my story?

00:14:46.203 --> 00:14:48.285
Nope. Never let defendants explain.

00:14:48.455 --> 00:14:50.095
Puts most of them in an awkward position.

00:14:51.375 --> 00:14:52.375
How do you mean?

00:14:53.043 --> 00:14:54.043
Lying.

00:14:55.963 --> 00:14:58.454
But I give you my word as a gentleman.

00:14:59.466 --> 00:15:00.797
Oh... well...

00:15:06.307 --> 00:15:09.595
Well, won't you at least read the record
and

00:15:10.060 --> 00:15:13.848
see if you can find something... well...

00:15:14.273 --> 00:15:15.308
Constitutional?

00:15:18.527 --> 00:15:20.108
You do have one thing in your favor.

00:15:23.032 --> 00:15:24.112
Everybody hates you.

00:15:30.664 --> 00:15:31.744
Well, that's a start.

00:15:33.125 --> 00:15:34.125
Come on, Maxwell!

00:15:34.209 --> 00:15:35.209
Get up! Come on, Max!

00:15:36.128 --> 00:15:37.288
He was hit! He... = oh! Hit!

00:15:37.546 --> 00:15:38.546
Yes!

00:15:41.884 --> 00:15:42.884
So what do you think?

00:15:43.218 --> 00:15:44.549
Oh, he did it. He did it.

00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:46.381
Of course he did it. Can we win?

00:15:47.139 --> 00:15:48.219
Hundred to one against.

00:15:48.390 --> 00:15:50.722
The maid.
The maid shmeared him on both comas.

00:15:50.893 --> 00:15:53.179
Look at it. At this. It says here...

00:15:53.520 --> 00:15:55.498
After you realized that Mrs. Von bulow

00:15:55.522 --> 00:15:57.888
had not gotten up,
what did you do?

00:15:58.067 --> 00:15:59.398
I came downstairs,

00:16:00.402 --> 00:16:02.814
and Mr. Von bulow said that madame

00:16:02.988 --> 00:16:04.478
had a very sore throat,

00:16:04.990 --> 00:16:06.651
and I didn't have to do any work,

00:16:07.493 --> 00:16:09.404
and she was in bed all day.

00:16:21.382 --> 00:16:22.662
What are you doing?

00:16:32.685 --> 00:16:34.300
She's ice cold.

00:16:35.354 --> 00:16:37.595
Madame! Mrs. Von bulow!

00:16:37.773 --> 00:16:38.773
Leave her alone.

00:16:39.483 --> 00:16:40.483
She's sleeping.

00:16:41.568 --> 00:16:42.688
She was drinking last night.

00:16:42.820 --> 00:16:43.900
We didn't get any rest.

00:16:44.071 --> 00:16:45.607
She's not sleeping.

00:16:47.241 --> 00:16:48.902
She's unconscious.

00:16:49.994 --> 00:16:52.155
You must call a doctor. = Maria.

00:16:54.957 --> 00:16:55.957
Go on!

00:17:06.010 --> 00:17:08.342
A half hour later, she had not moved.

00:17:08.929 --> 00:17:11.215
I went back and forth all morning.

00:17:11.974 --> 00:17:13.660
Strain over the last several days.

00:17:13.684 --> 00:17:15.220
Finally, mid-afternoon,

00:17:15.394 --> 00:17:18.136
Mr. Von bulow spoke to Dr. paultees,

00:17:18.897 --> 00:17:20.558
but he lied to doctor.

00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:22.400
Yes, she's sleeping now,

00:17:22.443 --> 00:17:24.443
but she was up earlier this morning
to the bathroom

00:17:24.737 --> 00:17:25.737
and had a soft drink.

00:17:25.904 --> 00:17:27.735
So I don't think
there's any cause for alarm.

00:17:28.156 --> 00:17:29.771
But she never moved,

00:17:30.242 --> 00:17:31.322
never got up.

00:17:32.202 --> 00:17:35.160
She was lying
in the same position all day.

00:17:36.540 --> 00:17:38.076
Later, her heart stops,

00:17:38.250 --> 00:17:40.491
and Dr. paultees, he comes and saves her.

00:17:42.046 --> 00:17:43.377
After they go to the hospital,

00:17:43.547 --> 00:17:44.878
I'm changing the sheets.

00:17:45.174 --> 00:17:46.835
I find a puddle of urine.

00:17:48.010 --> 00:17:49.671
If madame went to the bathroom,

00:17:49.845 --> 00:17:51.710
she would not have peed in her bed.

00:17:52.473 --> 00:17:53.132
Right.

00:17:53.390 --> 00:17:54.846
Why would claus lie about that?

00:17:55.601 --> 00:17:58.468
Well, it's suspicious,
but hardly criminal.

00:17:58.854 --> 00:17:59.894
How about the second coma?

00:18:00.230 --> 00:18:02.391
Well, Maria wasn't in Newport
for that one.

00:18:02.983 --> 00:18:04.689
But shortly before the second coma...

00:18:04.860 --> 00:18:06.171
I'm cleaning up their room

00:18:06.195 --> 00:18:08.686
when I find Mr. Von bulow's
white canvas bag

00:18:08.864 --> 00:18:09.944
packed for Newport.

00:18:10.866 --> 00:18:13.699
Inside, there's a little black bag:

00:18:14.369 --> 00:18:17.611
A bottle of Insulin,
a syringe, and needles.

00:18:18.040 --> 00:18:19.040
Alexander!

00:18:19.166 --> 00:18:20.201
Alexander, come here!

00:18:24.505 --> 00:18:25.505
Insulin.

00:18:26.673 --> 00:18:28.664
For what, Insulin?

00:18:29.051 --> 00:18:30.791
My lady is not diabetic.

00:18:36.391 --> 00:18:37.391
Three weeks later,

00:18:37.851 --> 00:18:40.467
sunny"s lying unconscious
in a freezing bathroom

00:18:40.646 --> 00:18:42.853
with her nightgown hiked over her waist.

00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:44.475
If I was on that jury,

00:18:44.900 --> 00:18:46.100
I would have voted to convict.

00:18:46.693 --> 00:18:47.813
Then you're taking the case?

00:18:49.196 --> 00:18:50.516
It reminds me of my Hitler dream.

00:18:52.699 --> 00:18:53.529
You know, Hitler calls up.

00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:55.190
He's alive, needs a lawyer.

00:18:56.370 --> 00:18:58.611
I say, "sure, come on over."

00:18:59.957 --> 00:19:00.957
Then I have to decide.

00:19:01.458 --> 00:19:03.323
Do I take the case or do I kill him?

00:19:03.502 --> 00:19:04.958
You? No question.

00:19:05.629 --> 00:19:06.664
I would take the case.

00:19:07.422 --> 00:19:08.422
Then kill him.

00:19:10.008 --> 00:19:12.340
I'm a maniac.
I need someone with your judgment,

00:19:12.511 --> 00:19:15.503
someone to watch what I'm doing,
occasionally remind me about the law.

00:19:16.515 --> 00:19:17.846
When can I see the transcripts?

00:19:18.350 --> 00:19:20.261
You're a former prosecutor, conservative.

00:19:20.435 --> 00:19:21.971
We agree on nothing.

00:19:22.187 --> 00:19:23.873
But you're smarter than
the Rhode Island da.

00:19:23.897 --> 00:19:25.933
If I can beat your arguments,
I can destroy his.

00:19:26.567 --> 00:19:29.400
Look, Rhode Island is
the most corrupt state in the country.

00:19:29.570 --> 00:19:30.570
Everything is political.

00:19:30.737 --> 00:19:32.193
I don't think that way. You do.

00:19:32.531 --> 00:19:35.819
I have to see the big picture.
I can't afford to immerse myself in facts,

00:19:35.993 --> 00:19:37.654
but we must know the facts.

00:19:38.036 --> 00:19:39.196
Out of all my ex-students,

00:19:39.371 --> 00:19:41.862
no one can assimilate information
as quickly as you two.

00:19:42.332 --> 00:19:44.118
Well, I agree with that assessment.

00:19:49.590 --> 00:19:50.420
You're out of your mind.

00:19:50.591 --> 00:19:52.377
I only have 45 days to file.

00:19:52.676 --> 00:19:53.836
I can't do it without you.

00:19:56.138 --> 00:19:57.699
Look, Sarah,
I know you don't want to come back...

00:19:57.723 --> 00:19:59.213
Is this strictly professional?

00:20:03.854 --> 00:20:04.854
Better be.

00:20:06.356 --> 00:20:07.015
That's wonderful.

00:20:07.191 --> 00:20:09.523
Now, I want the best people in the world
on our side,

00:20:09.818 --> 00:20:11.433
the most prestigious experts,

00:20:11.737 --> 00:20:14.069
nobel prize-winning scientists.

00:20:14.406 --> 00:20:16.126
Some of your colleagues
at Harvard, perhaps.

00:20:16.158 --> 00:20:17.594
Hey, hey, wa... wait a minute, claus.

00:20:17.618 --> 00:20:19.298
Look, we got a little problem there, okay?

00:20:19.703 --> 00:20:21.944
People like that, we can't control.

00:20:22.289 --> 00:20:23.729
They'll find one incriminating fact,

00:20:23.874 --> 00:20:25.018
they'll tell the whole world.

00:20:25.042 --> 00:20:26.122
I'm not afraid, Alan.

00:20:26.543 --> 00:20:28.204
Let the chips fall where they may.

00:20:28.921 --> 00:20:30.441
That's what an innocent man would say.

00:20:32.174 --> 00:20:33.174
I know.

00:20:40.015 --> 00:20:41.135
That just came for you, dad.

00:20:43.352 --> 00:20:45.764
My daughter, cosima. She never doubted me.

00:20:46.730 --> 00:20:48.095
She loves Alex and ala dearly,

00:20:48.273 --> 00:20:50.480
and siding with me
has cost her their affections.

00:20:55.072 --> 00:20:56.528
I don't know what I would have done.

00:21:02.204 --> 00:21:04.244
Okay, look, I said
I didn't want to hear your story,

00:21:04.414 --> 00:21:05.642
but I do need some information.

00:21:05.666 --> 00:21:06.666
'Course.

00:21:08.085 --> 00:21:11.373
Okay, I gather they'll, the older
children, deny sunny had a problem

00:21:11.546 --> 00:21:12.546
with pills and alcohol?

00:21:12.714 --> 00:21:14.295
Spectacular understatement.

00:21:14.633 --> 00:21:16.027
So there must be somebody
who saw it, right?

00:21:16.051 --> 00:21:17.916
Some witness, somebody, somewhere?
A friend?

00:21:18.095 --> 00:21:19.455
- You want affidavits?
- Yes, I do.

00:21:19.554 --> 00:21:20.554
I'll get them.

00:21:20.597 --> 00:21:21.177
You'll get them?

00:21:21.515 --> 00:21:24.757
You should also know, the drugs
prescribed for me were taken by sunny.

00:21:24.935 --> 00:21:26.095
That's a lot of drugs, claus.

00:21:26.436 --> 00:21:30.429
But the prosecution's allegation
that I knew about syringes, injections,

00:21:30.941 --> 00:21:32.101
totally accurate.

00:21:33.193 --> 00:21:36.526
Sunny and I used to give ourselves
b-12 injections in the late sixties.

00:21:36.697 --> 00:21:37.715
It was quite the fad in London.

00:21:37.739 --> 00:21:38.979
Can I explain something to you?

00:21:39.491 --> 00:21:40.776
The less I know from you,

00:21:41.118 --> 00:21:42.278
the more options I have.

00:21:42.703 --> 00:21:43.863
When you tell me “the truth,”

00:21:44.121 --> 00:21:46.954
you limit me to a defense that lines up
with what you have to say.

00:21:47.624 --> 00:21:49.956
But isn't the truth
the simplest way, Alan?

00:21:51.044 --> 00:21:53.956
I mean, why did I stay all day
at sunny's side

00:21:54.131 --> 00:21:55.667
without calling a doctor?

00:21:56.717 --> 00:21:59.550
Because sunny detested doctors.

00:22:00.012 --> 00:22:01.502
If we called one
without her approval,

00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:02.715
she went berserk.

00:22:03.015 --> 00:22:04.015
Once she broke her hip

00:22:04.099 --> 00:22:05.839
and didn't go to hospital
for two full days.

00:22:06.018 --> 00:22:07.633
Claus, did you hear what I just said?

00:22:08.061 --> 00:22:10.347
Of course.
Did you hear the judge sentenced me?

00:22:10.522 --> 00:22:13.059
Sorry. 30 years is
a pretty stiff sentence.

00:22:13.692 --> 00:22:15.052
Twice trying to murder one's wife,

00:22:15.110 --> 00:22:16.441
anything less would be monstrous.

00:22:17.863 --> 00:22:19.353
But for a man like myself,

00:22:21.283 --> 00:22:22.283
who did nothing...

00:22:26.288 --> 00:22:27.528
What I wanted to ask,

00:22:28.206 --> 00:22:29.616
if we lose the appeal,

00:22:30.500 --> 00:22:32.411
will I have the chance later

00:22:32.586 --> 00:22:35.498
to set my affairs in order
before I'm incarcerated?

00:22:36.923 --> 00:22:39.164
In Europe, a gentleman
is given the opportunity

00:22:39.343 --> 00:22:40.549
to end things properly.

00:22:44.973 --> 00:22:45.973
Come on, claus.

00:22:46.141 --> 00:22:49.508
We are each the keeper
of our own souls, Alan.

00:22:52.981 --> 00:22:54.141
Okay, two big problems.

00:22:55.150 --> 00:22:57.482
The case against him is very strong.

00:22:58.236 --> 00:22:59.476
But probably more important,

00:22:59.654 --> 00:23:01.770
the legal conviction
isn't the only conviction

00:23:01.948 --> 00:23:03.028
that we got to reverse.

00:23:03.742 --> 00:23:05.278
The more dangerous conviction

00:23:05.452 --> 00:23:08.615
is the absolute certainty
of the American people

00:23:08.789 --> 00:23:10.154
that claus is guilty.

00:23:10.332 --> 00:23:13.415
Finding grounds for reversal
won't be enough here.

00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:17.953
Judges on the Rhode Island supreme court
will have to go home to their spouses

00:23:18.131 --> 00:23:20.497
and explain why they reversed.

00:23:20.675 --> 00:23:23.917
To get them to do that,
we must completely obliterate

00:23:24.096 --> 00:23:26.963
every single aspect of the state's case.

00:23:27.474 --> 00:23:30.181
Destroy both the medical case
and their witnesses

00:23:30.352 --> 00:23:33.640
so the judges have
no possible way to affirm.

00:23:34.689 --> 00:23:37.522
Total victory,
or we are dead in the water.

00:23:37.692 --> 00:23:41.310
Now, I assume that
you've all had an opportunity

00:23:41.488 --> 00:23:42.568
to look at the transcripts,

00:23:42.614 --> 00:23:43.899
first impressions, yeah, minnie?

00:23:44.241 --> 00:23:45.856
I think this whole thing stinks.

00:23:46.701 --> 00:23:49.033
I think claus Von bulow stinks.

00:23:49.663 --> 00:23:52.826
He's obviously guilty
of something pretty despicable.

00:23:53.041 --> 00:23:54.326
And if we free him,

00:23:54.793 --> 00:23:56.624
we become partners in his crime,

00:23:56.795 --> 00:23:58.660
accessories after the fact.

00:23:59.256 --> 00:24:00.587
I'm really shocked,

00:24:00.966 --> 00:24:02.819
with your record
defending the poor and oppressed,

00:24:02.843 --> 00:24:04.299
that you've taken this case.

00:24:07.681 --> 00:24:09.342
I won't have anything to do with it,

00:24:10.934 --> 00:24:13.050
and I hope my fellow students
won't either.

00:24:13.979 --> 00:24:14.979
Good-bye.

00:24:15.856 --> 00:24:18.689
May I exercise my first amendment right
to free speech?

00:24:22.571 --> 00:24:24.251
If lawyers only defended innocent clients,

00:24:24.322 --> 00:24:26.384
there would be 10 defense
lawyers in the entire country,

00:24:26.408 --> 00:24:28.128
and none of you
would be able to find a job.

00:24:28.660 --> 00:24:30.901
Why help guilty people get off?

00:24:32.664 --> 00:24:34.950
Oh, you're sure he's guilty,
100 percent sure.

00:24:35.250 --> 00:24:37.662
He had a lawyer. He had a trial.

00:24:38.170 --> 00:24:39.501
He was convicted.

00:24:39.921 --> 00:24:41.481
Are you sure he had a fair trial?

00:24:42.090 --> 00:24:42.829
Come on!

00:24:43.008 --> 00:24:45.966
It's the basis of the whole legal system.

00:24:46.344 --> 00:24:49.177
Everyone gets a defense.

00:24:49.931 --> 00:24:51.421
So the system is there

00:24:51.725 --> 00:24:54.558
for the one innocent person
who is falsely accused.

00:24:56.313 --> 00:24:57.313
Okay, look.

00:24:58.482 --> 00:25:00.473
Say it's you, okay?

00:25:01.318 --> 00:25:02.433
You decide...

00:25:02.986 --> 00:25:04.522
You decide to get a divorce.

00:25:05.697 --> 00:25:07.177
You're going to divorce your husband.

00:25:07.574 --> 00:25:08.574
A week later,

00:25:09.242 --> 00:25:11.198
you're accused of molesting your son.

00:25:12.412 --> 00:25:13.993
Oh, no, now don't give me that look.

00:25:14.206 --> 00:25:15.821
Stuff like this happens all the time.

00:25:16.249 --> 00:25:17.580
Suddenly, you're alone.

00:25:18.502 --> 00:25:19.502
You're hated.

00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:21.330
It's... it's a nightmare.

00:25:22.464 --> 00:25:25.422
Everyone assumes that you are guilty.

00:25:26.092 --> 00:25:29.584
Even the mailman is beginning to
look at you a little... a little funny.

00:25:30.096 --> 00:25:32.428
You only got one person
who believes in you.

00:25:32.766 --> 00:25:34.381
There's only one person you can trust,

00:25:36.436 --> 00:25:37.436
your lawyer.

00:25:37.812 --> 00:25:39.427
Yeah. Okay.

00:25:40.065 --> 00:25:42.101
So, someone's got to defend claus.

00:25:42.651 --> 00:25:43.651
But why you?

00:25:43.777 --> 00:25:44.857
Why us?

00:25:46.238 --> 00:25:47.694
Look, you're my student.

00:25:47.864 --> 00:25:48.864
Y-you have a choice.

00:25:48.907 --> 00:25:50.843
You d... you don't have to do
anything you don't want to do.

00:25:50.867 --> 00:25:51.982
That is your choice.

00:25:52.827 --> 00:25:54.408
The reason I take cases,

00:25:54.579 --> 00:25:56.740
and here, I'm unlike most other lawyers

00:25:56.915 --> 00:25:59.406
who are not professors
and therefore have to make a living,

00:25:59.834 --> 00:26:02.792
I take cases 'cause I get pissed off,

00:26:04.130 --> 00:26:06.246
and I am pissed off here.

00:26:06.967 --> 00:26:09.879
The family hired a private prosecutor.

00:26:12.430 --> 00:26:15.046
They conducted a private search.

00:26:15.725 --> 00:26:17.590
Now, we let them get away with that,

00:26:18.186 --> 00:26:20.177
rich people won't go to the cops anymore.

00:26:20.355 --> 00:26:21.595
You know what they're gonna do?

00:26:21.856 --> 00:26:25.314
They're going to get their own lawyers
to collect evidence.

00:26:25.735 --> 00:26:28.943
And then they are going
to choose which evidence

00:26:29.114 --> 00:26:31.446
they feel like passing on to the da,

00:26:31.783 --> 00:26:35.025
and the next victim
isn't going to be rich like Von bulow.

00:26:35.370 --> 00:26:37.531
But it's gonna be
some poor schnook in Detroit

00:26:37.789 --> 00:26:41.828
who can't afford
or can't find a decent lawyer.

00:26:48.216 --> 00:26:50.582
I think it's a little more complicated

00:26:51.177 --> 00:26:53.259
than your simple moral superiority.

00:26:55.098 --> 00:26:56.098
No?

00:26:56.850 --> 00:26:58.761
I agree Von bulow is guilty,

00:26:58.935 --> 00:27:01.096
but that's the fun,
I mean, that's the challenge.

00:27:01.271 --> 00:27:02.761
See, now there is a lawyer.

00:27:05.317 --> 00:27:06.317
What?

00:27:08.028 --> 00:27:09.063
Yeah, okay. Put him on.

00:27:10.363 --> 00:27:12.604
Alan, a rather unsavory character

00:27:12.782 --> 00:27:15.114
called David marriott contacted me

00:27:15.619 --> 00:27:20.079
claiming to have information about
a drug delivery at clarendon court.

00:27:20.415 --> 00:27:21.905
Okay. Now, where does he live?

00:27:22.208 --> 00:27:22.913
Somewhere in Wakefield.

00:27:23.084 --> 00:27:24.574
Okay, we... no, we'll get on it.

00:27:25.754 --> 00:27:29.747
Tom, I want you to get
a private investigator

00:27:29.924 --> 00:27:33.291
to dig into a David marriott
who lives in Wakefield.

00:27:34.804 --> 00:27:36.715
Okay. How are we going to win this case?

00:27:37.015 --> 00:27:38.721
The judge made lots of mistakes.

00:27:38.892 --> 00:27:40.553
Judges always make mistakes.

00:27:40.727 --> 00:27:41.557
How are we going to win?

00:27:41.728 --> 00:27:43.093
All right, one issue leaps up,

00:27:43.271 --> 00:27:44.636
this lawyer, brillhoffer,

00:27:44.814 --> 00:27:47.055
interviewed Alex, Maria, everybody.

00:27:47.233 --> 00:27:48.753
He was the first person
fo hear their stories.

00:27:48.777 --> 00:27:50.577
He took notes and
he used those notes at trial

00:27:50.612 --> 00:27:52.022
against a defense witness.

00:27:52.197 --> 00:27:54.062
But the defense never saw the notes.

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:55.901
The judge wouldn't let us have them.

00:27:56.326 --> 00:27:58.638
This alone seems like sufficient grounds.
It's perfect Brady.

00:27:58.662 --> 00:27:59.367
Okay, fine.

00:27:59.579 --> 00:28:01.069
Why don't you draft a letter

00:28:01.247 --> 00:28:03.329
writing to brillhoffer
asking him very nicely

00:28:03.500 --> 00:28:04.740
to send us his notes?

00:28:05.001 --> 00:28:06.992
Yeah, right. He'll fax them right over.

00:28:07.504 --> 00:28:08.504
Yeah, right.

00:28:09.339 --> 00:28:11.421
We could win on this issue alone
and he knows it.

00:28:11.591 --> 00:28:13.081
You know it, I know it.

00:28:13.343 --> 00:28:14.753
We'll just make sure he knows it.

00:28:15.428 --> 00:28:17.714
Now... Nancy and dobbs...

00:28:17.889 --> 00:28:18.423
Yes?

00:28:18.598 --> 00:28:20.554
They're going to attack
the medical testimony.

00:28:20.975 --> 00:28:21.680
Mm-hmm.

00:28:21.893 --> 00:28:24.680
Our Rhode Island counsel, Peter macintosh,

00:28:25.105 --> 00:28:27.517
he will analyze the state supreme court.

00:28:27.857 --> 00:28:30.336
I think the rest of us
should begin dissecting the transcripts,

00:28:30.360 --> 00:28:32.646
errors, inconsistencies, anything unusual.

00:28:32.821 --> 00:28:33.936
Okay, great. Now, remember,

00:28:34.114 --> 00:28:35.729
most cases are won in the field,

00:28:35.907 --> 00:28:36.987
not in court.

00:28:39.536 --> 00:28:40.536
Minnie?

00:28:42.747 --> 00:28:44.187
You want to work with Sarah on this?

00:28:45.583 --> 00:28:46.583
You may learn something.

00:28:46.668 --> 00:28:48.748
- Come on, minnie.
- Come on, minnie.

00:28:49.170 --> 00:28:50.570
- Minnie!
- Come on.

00:28:50.630 --> 00:28:51.630
Please?

00:28:52.173 --> 00:28:53.173
Come on.

00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:56.445
"Course I don't trust David marriott.

00:28:56.469 --> 00:28:57.589
I don't know David marriott.

00:28:57.929 --> 00:28:59.281
But if he knew Alex Von auersberg...

00:28:59.305 --> 00:29:01.075
You're crazy,
I don't know who you think you are.

00:29:01.099 --> 00:29:02.134
You Perry Mason?

00:29:02.934 --> 00:29:05.095
Let our private investigator
interview this jerk.

00:29:05.353 --> 00:29:06.468
It's stupid, it's arrogant,

00:29:06.646 --> 00:29:07.646
and it's unprofessional.

00:29:07.814 --> 00:29:10.055
- It's fun.
- Fun? This guy is a sleaze.

00:29:10.692 --> 00:29:12.212
You don't know what he's going to try.

00:29:12.569 --> 00:29:14.275
What, is he going to shoot me?

00:29:15.029 --> 00:29:16.109
Come on, I'm from Brooklyn.

00:29:22.746 --> 00:29:25.106
Okay, look, I'll stand by the window
every 10 minutes, okay?

00:29:26.082 --> 00:29:27.322
That way you can know I'm safe.

00:29:29.419 --> 00:29:30.750
I had this friend...

00:29:31.087 --> 00:29:32.202
Gilbert Jackson...

00:29:33.006 --> 00:29:34.166
Interior decorator.

00:29:35.175 --> 00:29:37.507
Flaming queen, but a very excellent guy.

00:29:40.305 --> 00:29:42.421
He introduced me to Alex Von auersberg.

00:29:44.058 --> 00:29:45.093
You sure it was Alex?

00:29:45.852 --> 00:29:48.594
We had dinner a few times, drinks.

00:29:49.105 --> 00:29:51.266
All I knew, Alex was some rich kid.

00:29:52.609 --> 00:29:53.609
So sometimes,

00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:56.685
this is like, uh, summer of '77,

00:29:57.447 --> 00:29:59.438
I'd motor to Newport for some r and r.

00:30:00.116 --> 00:30:01.947
Gilbert asked me to bring Alex a package.

00:30:03.620 --> 00:30:05.235
I figured interior decoration.

00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:07.119
Maybe drapes.

00:30:07.791 --> 00:30:08.871
Like six times.

00:30:09.167 --> 00:30:10.373
So I'd call Alex.

00:30:10.627 --> 00:30:11.867
How'd you get his phone number?

00:30:12.587 --> 00:30:13.587
From Gilbert.

00:30:13.838 --> 00:30:14.838
You still have it?

00:30:15.381 --> 00:30:16.381
Maybe.

00:30:17.383 --> 00:30:18.383
I'm that kind of guy.

00:30:45.161 --> 00:30:46.161
Here.

00:30:52.585 --> 00:30:53.950
One night I got curious.

00:30:55.255 --> 00:30:56.415
Opened the package.

00:30:57.590 --> 00:30:59.171
Fucking pharmacy, man.

00:30:59.926 --> 00:31:02.759
Needles, syringes, white powder.

00:31:03.096 --> 00:31:04.757
Nice selection of pills.

00:31:04.931 --> 00:31:05.931
Demerol.

00:31:06.349 --> 00:31:07.429
Like a drugstore.

00:31:09.561 --> 00:31:12.143
You delivered drugs six times
and didn't know it?

00:31:15.441 --> 00:31:16.441
Stupid, huh?

00:31:17.777 --> 00:31:19.108
Then Gilbert asked me again.

00:31:20.321 --> 00:31:21.652
I couldn't say no, but this time

00:31:21.823 --> 00:31:23.688
I made Alex open the package
in front of me.

00:31:24.534 --> 00:31:25.865
Voila.

00:31:28.246 --> 00:31:30.703
I go, "awful lot of pharmaceuticals
for one person.”

00:31:31.541 --> 00:31:34.123
He goes, "oh, I give some to my mom

00:31:34.294 --> 00:31:35.534
to keep her off my back.”

00:31:37.380 --> 00:31:40.213
Few weeks later,
Gilbert gets mistaken for a softball.

00:31:41.134 --> 00:31:42.715
Two guys bash his head in.

00:31:43.303 --> 00:31:45.715
Alex calls me, totally urinary.

00:31:46.222 --> 00:31:47.622
Will the cops find his phone number

00:31:47.682 --> 00:31:49.718
and fuck up his trust fund or something?

00:31:51.227 --> 00:31:52.558
Well, that's the fat.

00:31:54.063 --> 00:31:55.063
That's the skinny.

00:31:56.441 --> 00:31:57.441
You like it?

00:31:59.152 --> 00:32:01.734
You traffic with drug dealers
and drag queens.

00:32:01.905 --> 00:32:03.065
You have a part-time job.

00:32:03.239 --> 00:32:04.945
You ride around in rented limos.

00:32:05.116 --> 00:32:06.302
All in all, I would have to say

00:32:06.326 --> 00:32:08.066
you're probably
the least impressive witness

00:32:08.244 --> 00:32:09.244
I've ever seen.

00:32:09.996 --> 00:32:10.996
Wait a minute.

00:32:15.209 --> 00:32:17.575
You think I'm scum, don't you?

00:32:18.671 --> 00:32:20.627
Blow it out your ass.

00:32:22.133 --> 00:32:23.669
You want a withess to back me up?

00:32:24.385 --> 00:32:25.385
I'll get one.

00:32:26.137 --> 00:32:27.137
And, hey,

00:32:27.555 --> 00:32:29.921
maybe I'll see you at the celtics, huh?

00:32:41.861 --> 00:32:43.726
I am not going to let them execute you.

00:32:43.905 --> 00:32:44.905
You're not going to die.

00:32:45.740 --> 00:32:46.740
Look, Johnny, th...

00:32:47.700 --> 00:32:49.470
Johnny, this is going to be
a lot easier on me

00:32:49.494 --> 00:32:52.156
if you don't cry, okay? I... I kn...

00:32:52.330 --> 00:32:54.036
I know your brother's hysterical, I...

00:32:54.374 --> 00:32:56.911
Number o... they always set a date
for the execution,

00:32:57.085 --> 00:32:58.291
and they always postpone it...

00:32:59.379 --> 00:33:00.819
He's great when he's like this, huh?

00:33:01.881 --> 00:33:02.666
That's right.

00:33:02.840 --> 00:33:05.069
I just wish he had something left
for the people around him.

00:33:05.093 --> 00:33:05.878
What are you talking to me about money?

00:33:06.052 --> 00:33:07.337
Did I ever ask you about money?

00:33:07.762 --> 00:33:09.362
Anyway, it's nice to have you back here.

00:33:11.474 --> 00:33:12.994
Okay. Say hello to your brother.

00:33:13.893 --> 00:33:14.893
Right.

00:33:15.228 --> 00:33:16.228
Okay.

00:33:24.237 --> 00:33:25.943
Okay, who's got what?

00:33:28.700 --> 00:33:30.656
Uh, yeah. Maria's testimony.

00:33:30.952 --> 00:33:33.739
She says sunny did take valium
prescribed for claus.

00:33:34.122 --> 00:33:35.532
Okay, score one for Von bulow.

00:33:35.707 --> 00:33:38.039
And this Jamie smather prescription?

00:33:38.209 --> 00:33:39.209
Who's Jamie smather?

00:33:39.293 --> 00:33:42.330
Three-hundred-pound redheaded hooker
in pigtails and white boots.

00:33:42.505 --> 00:33:44.461
She supplied claus with valium.

00:33:44.716 --> 00:33:47.002
He had a gorgeous mistress
and he went with an ugly whore?

00:33:47.677 --> 00:33:50.134
You know, there's some things
even mistresses won't do.

00:33:52.432 --> 00:33:53.432
Like what?

00:33:54.058 --> 00:33:55.093
I-I'm not telling.

00:33:56.853 --> 00:33:59.094
Anyway, Maria swears

00:33:59.272 --> 00:34:02.480
she first saw this Jamie smather
prescription February 14th,

00:34:02.900 --> 00:34:04.982
and then again February 28th.

00:34:05.486 --> 00:34:06.100
So?

00:34:06.320 --> 00:34:08.231
It wasn't prescribed till the 28th.

00:34:08.614 --> 00:34:10.730
You're not suggesting she's lying?

00:34:11.325 --> 00:34:13.429
Okay, how about Maria's Insulin?
"For what, Insulin"?

00:34:13.453 --> 00:34:14.813
- Anything more on that?
- Not yet.

00:34:17.331 --> 00:34:18.662
Something about that bothers me.

00:34:21.169 --> 00:34:22.169
Okay, who's next?

00:34:23.087 --> 00:34:24.327
Brillhoffer wrote back.

00:34:25.757 --> 00:34:27.213
He's very attached to his notes.

00:34:30.678 --> 00:34:32.214
"I am satisfied

00:34:33.014 --> 00:34:35.175
that there is not a scrap of paper
in my files

00:34:35.349 --> 00:34:38.466
that might even arguably
be viewed as exculpatory.”

00:34:38.643 --> 00:34:39.758
English translation?

00:34:39.937 --> 00:34:41.928
He says he doesn't have
anything that'd help us.

00:34:44.817 --> 00:34:45.817
You with me?

00:34:46.277 --> 00:34:46.891
Pay dirt.

00:34:47.235 --> 00:34:47.974
What's pay dirt?

00:34:48.154 --> 00:34:49.154
He's a lawyer.

00:34:49.405 --> 00:34:51.605
If he really didn't have anything,
he'd give it to us...

00:34:52.408 --> 00:34:53.193
But there's something there

00:34:53.367 --> 00:34:55.207
and he's gonna fight like hell
to hold onto it.

00:34:55.870 --> 00:34:57.076
I will bet my fee

00:34:57.538 --> 00:34:59.324
that no one remembered seeing Insulin

00:35:00.041 --> 00:35:01.531
until after the lab report came back.

00:35:02.210 --> 00:35:03.353
So... you're suggesting...

00:35:03.377 --> 00:35:04.377
Memory enhancement.

00:35:05.338 --> 00:35:06.418
It might be more than that.

00:35:06.630 --> 00:35:07.630
Possibly.

00:35:09.967 --> 00:35:10.967
A frame-up.

00:35:11.677 --> 00:35:12.837
You mean by the kids?

00:35:13.346 --> 00:35:15.627
Where are you getting all this,
from brillhoffer's letter?

00:35:15.765 --> 00:35:16.765
Pure deduction.

00:35:17.058 --> 00:35:21.722
A good lawyer is part psychiatrist,
detective, logician.

00:35:22.480 --> 00:35:23.219
A great lawyer...

00:35:23.439 --> 00:35:25.054
Never would have taken this case.

00:35:27.235 --> 00:35:28.441
If there's nothing more...

00:35:29.278 --> 00:35:30.609
Has anybody read this?

00:35:32.782 --> 00:35:34.488
It's an interview with Truman capote.

00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:36.945
He says when she was 19,

00:35:37.120 --> 00:35:38.576
sunny Von bulow

00:35:38.746 --> 00:35:40.532
taught him how to inject drugs.

00:35:40.706 --> 00:35:41.706
Let me see that.

00:35:44.544 --> 00:35:47.536
Well, well, well, the famous professor.

00:35:47.713 --> 00:35:49.954
Alan, I'd like to introduce
my new girlfriend,

00:35:50.133 --> 00:35:53.296
- Andrea Reynolds.
- I'm not his girlfriend, I'm his savior.

00:35:53.511 --> 00:35:54.091
Perfectly true.

00:35:54.262 --> 00:35:56.674
Two days after the trial ended,
we fell in love.

00:35:56.889 --> 00:36:00.598
- It was really very, very dramatic.
- Yes, Andrea, Andrea, come on.

00:36:02.186 --> 00:36:05.394
Since then, I've devoted my life
to clearing his name.

00:36:05.857 --> 00:36:08.018
I made him hire you.

00:36:09.443 --> 00:36:11.183
"Get the Jew," I said.

00:36:12.572 --> 00:36:13.572
Darling...

00:36:14.615 --> 00:36:15.935
Can the Jew get down to business?

00:36:17.618 --> 00:36:18.903
We've got an affidavit.

00:36:20.037 --> 00:36:22.653
A Smythe, Mrs. Ruth Smythe,

00:36:23.332 --> 00:36:26.244
gave us an affidavit
corroborating Truman capote.

00:36:26.878 --> 00:36:28.209
I have affidavits, too.

00:36:30.715 --> 00:36:31.715
Newport people.

00:36:31.924 --> 00:36:34.006
They describe sunny taking pills,

00:36:34.260 --> 00:36:35.966
getting drunk and falling down...

00:36:36.387 --> 00:36:37.843
Bumping into doorways,

00:36:38.014 --> 00:36:39.675
smearing lipstick all over her face.

00:36:40.057 --> 00:36:41.076
Not a very pretty picture.

00:36:41.100 --> 00:36:42.340
She did it, didn't she?

00:36:43.311 --> 00:36:45.097
Don't be a priss.

00:36:46.355 --> 00:36:47.185
Sunny was a lovely woman.

00:36:47.356 --> 00:36:48.356
Spoiled rotten.

00:36:49.317 --> 00:36:50.317
Yes, but lovely.

00:36:51.319 --> 00:36:52.319
Till she drank.

00:36:53.571 --> 00:36:56.563
Two drinks and she became... nasty,

00:36:56.741 --> 00:36:59.107
- irrational.
- All women are irrational, darling.

00:36:59.368 --> 00:37:00.608
Did we mention the priest?

00:37:00.870 --> 00:37:05.034
Oh. Marriott apparently
confided in a priest

00:37:05.541 --> 00:37:07.077
who's consented to talk to us.

00:37:10.046 --> 00:37:11.877
A father capello from Providence.

00:37:14.217 --> 00:37:15.217
Priest?

00:37:16.427 --> 00:37:18.167
Well, a priest is the ideal witness.

00:37:18.346 --> 00:37:20.199
It's like getting the word of god.
= I checked.

00:37:20.223 --> 00:37:21.884
God is unavailable.

00:37:23.059 --> 00:37:24.059
If

00:37:24.143 --> 00:37:25.724
If the priest comes through

00:37:25.895 --> 00:37:28.261
and we can get documentation
on sunny's drug use,

00:37:28.731 --> 00:37:30.847
then self-injection
may be a plausible theory.

00:37:31.108 --> 00:37:32.598
There's no Insulin in this case.

00:37:32.818 --> 00:37:34.354
Yeah, but people do use Insulin,

00:37:34.862 --> 00:37:36.924
they use it for dieting,
it's not a prescription drug.

00:37:36.948 --> 00:37:38.425
Sunny was concerned about her weight.

00:37:38.449 --> 00:37:39.939
Maybe, but believe me, Alan...

00:37:40.785 --> 00:37:41.820
There's no Insulin here.

00:37:46.332 --> 00:37:47.332
Really?

00:37:48.251 --> 00:37:49.251
How can you be so sure?

00:37:57.760 --> 00:37:58.840
Do you realize...

00:37:59.971 --> 00:38:03.008
With this case,
I'm looking for evidence to exonerate you?

00:38:03.766 --> 00:38:06.223
But at the same time,
I'm also wondering...

00:38:07.770 --> 00:38:08.770
What really happened...

00:38:09.563 --> 00:38:10.563
Who you are.

00:38:11.107 --> 00:38:12.227
Who would you like me to be?

00:38:16.487 --> 00:38:17.487
Your mother's death...

00:38:18.322 --> 00:38:19.322
What happened?

00:38:20.491 --> 00:38:22.573
I believe she had a heart problem.

00:38:23.577 --> 00:38:24.191
Really?

00:38:24.578 --> 00:38:26.138
The rumor in england is you killed her.

00:38:26.289 --> 00:38:27.620
Hey, wait a minute, Alan.

00:38:27.915 --> 00:38:29.951
Statute of limitations
ran out on that years ago.

00:38:30.126 --> 00:38:32.162
There's rumors also that I killed my aunt.

00:38:35.256 --> 00:38:36.917
And that I'm a necrophiliac,

00:38:37.466 --> 00:38:39.172
who injected sunny with Insulin

00:38:39.343 --> 00:38:40.879
so that I could have my way with her.

00:38:42.847 --> 00:38:44.178
Please.

00:38:45.349 --> 00:38:47.965
Your mother's death
wasn't recorded for five full days.

00:38:48.602 --> 00:38:49.602
True.

00:38:51.939 --> 00:38:53.219
Where were you during that time?

00:38:53.733 --> 00:38:54.733
In the flat.

00:38:55.401 --> 00:38:56.401
Where the body was?

00:39:03.951 --> 00:39:05.657
My mother is my own business.

00:39:12.168 --> 00:39:14.079
Did claus drive me crazy?

00:39:15.338 --> 00:39:16.669
Even I don't know.

00:39:17.965 --> 00:39:21.583
But it's true that I took up to
24 laxatives daily,

00:39:22.219 --> 00:39:24.255
popped aspirin like m&ms,

00:39:24.847 --> 00:39:27.384
smoked three packs of cigarettes a day,

00:39:28.017 --> 00:39:30.178
had a problem with alcohol,

00:39:30.895 --> 00:39:33.307
took valium and seconal frequently,

00:39:33.481 --> 00:39:36.097
and consumed large quantities of sweets

00:39:36.442 --> 00:39:39.605
despite a medical condition, hypoglycemia,

00:39:39.945 --> 00:39:41.310
which made them hazardous.

00:39:43.240 --> 00:39:45.151
As for my state of mind...

00:39:51.248 --> 00:39:54.911
I had not had sex
with my husband for years.

00:39:56.962 --> 00:39:58.202
My schedule was...

00:39:59.006 --> 00:40:00.667
I woke at 9:30,

00:40:01.133 --> 00:40:03.465
did a little exercise and shopping,

00:40:04.095 --> 00:40:05.881
ahd returned to bed at three o'clock

00:40:06.055 --> 00:40:07.795
for the remainder of the afternoon.

00:40:09.058 --> 00:40:11.049
I liked to be in bed.

00:40:12.144 --> 00:40:14.385
I didn't much like anything else.

00:40:20.861 --> 00:40:21.976
Hold on here, will you?

00:40:40.965 --> 00:40:41.624
Come in.

00:40:41.924 --> 00:40:42.924
Alan.

00:40:43.300 --> 00:40:45.040
Welcome to my humble law firm.

00:40:46.595 --> 00:40:47.595
In the kitchen,

00:40:48.222 --> 00:40:50.053
our Insulin-on-the-needle team.

00:40:50.766 --> 00:40:53.553
They're cooking up some surprise for us.

00:40:58.441 --> 00:41:00.432
This is our brillhoffer notes team.

00:41:01.610 --> 00:41:02.770
Mr. Von bulow!

00:41:03.362 --> 00:41:05.122
Where do you keep the paper towels?

00:41:06.073 --> 00:41:07.153
Ask Sarah!

00:41:07.324 --> 00:41:08.324
Sarah used to live here.

00:41:10.453 --> 00:41:11.453
This...

00:41:12.371 --> 00:41:13.656
I guess he was up all night.

00:41:21.881 --> 00:41:23.166
This sort of commune,

00:41:23.466 --> 00:41:25.002
you do it on every case?

00:41:25.176 --> 00:41:26.176
Never before.

00:41:26.635 --> 00:41:28.842
Thirty-eight days to write 100 pages?

00:41:29.388 --> 00:41:30.548
Only way to get it done.

00:41:31.432 --> 00:41:32.922
Here's the black bag team.

00:41:33.225 --> 00:41:34.431
Illegal search teams.

00:41:44.737 --> 00:41:46.352
My son, elon, lost his room.

00:41:46.530 --> 00:41:48.341
Well, actually, this is, uh,
this is another case

00:41:48.365 --> 00:41:49.445
that you're paying for.

00:41:51.076 --> 00:41:52.111
And this is my team.

00:41:53.287 --> 00:41:54.287
You wish.

00:41:55.080 --> 00:41:56.445
I... I can't find the damn thing.

00:41:58.083 --> 00:41:59.198
Hi. I'm Sarah.

00:41:59.460 --> 00:42:01.291
And a very lovely Sarah you are.

00:42:02.755 --> 00:42:03.995
Does that really work?

00:42:04.423 --> 00:42:05.003
Flattery?

00:42:05.424 --> 00:42:06.424
Absolutely.

00:42:08.636 --> 00:42:09.671
Like Chinese food?

00:42:11.388 --> 00:42:13.504
What do you give a wife
who has everything?

00:42:15.935 --> 00:42:17.471
An injection of Insulin.

00:42:21.023 --> 00:42:22.888
How... ah, my prawns.

00:42:23.484 --> 00:42:26.476
How can one define a fear of Insulin?

00:42:27.947 --> 00:42:29.153
Claus-trophobia.

00:42:30.366 --> 00:42:31.902
Hm.

00:42:35.371 --> 00:42:37.157
Is there anything more you can tell us

00:42:37.331 --> 00:42:38.616
about Alexandra isles?

00:42:39.792 --> 00:42:41.520
For instance, is it true
that she gave you a deadline

00:42:41.544 --> 00:42:43.284
of Christmas 1979 to be together?

00:42:44.046 --> 00:42:45.046
Uh, not really.

00:42:45.339 --> 00:42:47.625
No, she knew I was looking
for full-time work.

00:42:47.841 --> 00:42:50.173
I worked for jp getty in London.

00:42:50.344 --> 00:42:52.155
Alexandra assumed that
when you did find a job,

00:42:52.179 --> 00:42:53.179
you'd marry her, correct?

00:42:54.473 --> 00:42:55.679
Oh, she assumed it.

00:42:58.143 --> 00:42:59.204
How about when she testified,

00:42:59.228 --> 00:43:01.414
did you get a sense that
she wanted to get back together?

00:43:01.438 --> 00:43:04.100
Very much so.
In fact, at the trial, she said...

00:43:04.275 --> 00:43:08.609
I loved him, but I was still caught up
in my own anger...

00:43:10.322 --> 00:43:12.278
And I'm sorry I acted that way then.

00:43:13.325 --> 00:43:15.156
I loved him, and I was angry.

00:43:16.704 --> 00:43:18.535
Let me ask you this.
Maybe you can't answer.

00:43:19.540 --> 00:43:20.655
Do you still love him?

00:43:22.918 --> 00:43:23.577
I don't know.

00:43:23.877 --> 00:43:25.492
That means yes, doesn't it?

00:43:25.921 --> 00:43:26.921
It would seem so.

00:43:27.339 --> 00:43:28.419
In fact, after the trial,

00:43:28.591 --> 00:43:30.752
she wrote me a letter
saying so explicitly.

00:43:31.635 --> 00:43:33.296
A very passionate letter.

00:43:33.512 --> 00:43:34.922
Passionate and...

00:43:35.472 --> 00:43:36.472
Jealous.

00:43:37.558 --> 00:43:40.174
But that was the relationship
from the outset.

00:43:40.477 --> 00:43:42.013
That was Alexandra.

00:43:42.187 --> 00:43:43.302
She was your love slave.

00:43:51.322 --> 00:43:52.322
Ah.

00:43:52.948 --> 00:43:56.315
Well, I think now
I'll have my own individual order

00:43:56.493 --> 00:43:57.778
of ginger prawns.

00:44:00.205 --> 00:44:02.491
- Waiter.
- Three weeks before her final coma,

00:44:03.167 --> 00:44:04.657
sunny overdosed on aspirin.

00:44:05.502 --> 00:44:06.771
Can you tell us anything about that?

00:44:06.795 --> 00:44:09.081
No one maintained
I had anything to do with that, Alan.

00:44:09.256 --> 00:44:10.336
No, of course not.

00:44:10.966 --> 00:44:12.126
I'm asking you what happened.

00:44:12.635 --> 00:44:14.921
Well, sunny had been unwell.

00:44:20.309 --> 00:44:21.309
Ohhh...

00:44:21.852 --> 00:44:22.852
Are you all right?

00:44:23.145 --> 00:44:24.976
Oh, just a bit dizzy.

00:44:27.775 --> 00:44:29.455
Well, if you're dizzy, don't go wandering.

00:44:46.043 --> 00:44:47.043
Sunny?

00:44:50.172 --> 00:44:51.172
Oh, my god.

00:44:51.548 --> 00:44:52.548
Come on, my darling.

00:44:53.550 --> 00:44:54.380
Now, you're all right.

00:44:54.551 --> 00:44:56.112
Come on, put your arm around my shoulder.

00:44:56.136 --> 00:44:56.670
There we are.

00:44:56.887 --> 00:44:58.218
Now, you're all right.

00:44:58.472 --> 00:45:01.134
Get you... come on.
We'll get you back into bed.

00:45:03.102 --> 00:45:04.842
Something happened to my head.

00:45:05.020 --> 00:45:06.351
You're all right. = it's cut.

00:45:07.356 --> 00:45:09.096
Just a little cut. It's nothing.

00:45:09.274 --> 00:45:10.274
Come on.

00:45:10.442 --> 00:45:11.898
Let's get you lying down.

00:45:16.156 --> 00:45:17.441
There you are.

00:45:21.495 --> 00:45:22.495
There.

00:45:26.417 --> 00:45:27.657
Shall I call a doctor?

00:45:27.835 --> 00:45:29.826
No! No, I don't want...

00:45:30.003 --> 00:45:31.003
I don't want a doctor.

00:45:31.171 --> 00:45:32.786
Just... don't want a doctor.

00:45:33.924 --> 00:45:36.540
Just want to be left alone.

00:45:37.678 --> 00:45:40.260
Want to be left alone
with all those beaut... beautiful letters.

00:45:41.181 --> 00:45:42.367
What did you do with those letters?

00:45:42.391 --> 00:45:43.676
Why did you write those letters?

00:45:44.101 --> 00:45:45.101
And those...

00:45:45.769 --> 00:45:47.305
Later, Dr. praug said

00:45:47.479 --> 00:45:48.959
we needn't have gone to the hospital,

00:45:49.022 --> 00:45:50.853
but I wasn't going to take any chances.

00:45:51.024 --> 00:45:52.560
Why did she take so much aspirin?

00:45:53.026 --> 00:45:55.017
Oh, sunny always took aspirin.

00:45:55.487 --> 00:45:57.603
She'd been taking a lot for several days.

00:45:57.781 --> 00:45:58.967
That's hot what our doctor said.

00:45:58.991 --> 00:46:00.731
Dr. Lucas lupardus,

00:46:01.034 --> 00:46:03.867
chief forensic toxicologist,
Suffolk county,

00:46:04.204 --> 00:46:06.991
says that people who take large
amounts of aspirin every day

00:46:07.166 --> 00:46:08.166
never reach that level.

00:46:08.709 --> 00:46:11.291
He also said the average blood level
in cases of death is...

00:46:11.628 --> 00:46:13.744
Sixty. Hers was 90.

00:46:14.256 --> 00:46:14.836
So...

00:46:15.007 --> 00:46:17.544
So it was obviously a suicide attempt.

00:46:18.886 --> 00:46:19.420
Why?

00:46:19.595 --> 00:46:21.005
Yeah, why?

00:46:21.180 --> 00:46:21.714
Why?

00:46:22.055 --> 00:46:25.468
Alan, do they all want to be prosecutors?

00:46:28.228 --> 00:46:29.228
We're waiting.

00:46:33.066 --> 00:46:34.931
Well, I presume she was unhappy.

00:46:42.034 --> 00:46:44.074
How about we all finish up
and go back to the house?

00:46:46.163 --> 00:46:49.030
We're not going to win this
on a technicality. Peter.

00:46:50.167 --> 00:46:52.270
I've read every case
in the last seven years

00:46:52.294 --> 00:46:54.094
where the Rhode Island
supreme court reversed.

00:46:54.588 --> 00:46:55.868
They don't like to make new law,

00:46:55.964 --> 00:46:58.205
they don't like to discuss
broad legal issues.

00:46:58.383 --> 00:46:59.589
When they do reverse,

00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:01.170
the grounds are technical,

00:47:01.345 --> 00:47:03.381
but the reason seems to be

00:47:03.555 --> 00:47:06.217
they suspect a convicted defendant
may be innocent.

00:47:07.518 --> 00:47:09.179
Okay, so everybody get that?

00:47:10.103 --> 00:47:13.061
True or not,
we've got to convince the judges

00:47:14.107 --> 00:47:15.438
that you are innocent.

00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:19.272
Claus, now I do want to hear
your side of the story.

00:47:19.446 --> 00:47:20.446
With pleasure.

00:47:21.240 --> 00:47:23.481
Innocence has always been my position.

00:47:28.872 --> 00:47:30.737
First coma. What preceded it?

00:47:33.210 --> 00:47:34.666
Well, sunny loved Christmas.

00:47:35.462 --> 00:47:37.293
It was her favorite season, really.

00:47:38.465 --> 00:47:41.457
You see, what you must understand
about sunny

00:47:41.635 --> 00:47:44.672
is that she loved giving
more than anything else.

00:47:44.888 --> 00:47:48.472
J peace on earth and mercy mild j

00:47:48.642 --> 00:47:50.724
j god and sinners reconciled... j

00:47:50.894 --> 00:47:54.136
each year, she always made
a big bowl of fresh eggnog.

00:47:54.815 --> 00:47:56.897
Now, that year, she drank a lot of it.

00:47:57.317 --> 00:47:58.317
How much?

00:47:58.569 --> 00:48:00.651
Oh, 10 or 12 glasses.

00:48:01.989 --> 00:48:03.695
With her hypoglycemia?

00:48:04.992 --> 00:48:06.553
She didn't always drink like that?

00:48:06.577 --> 00:48:07.577
Never.

00:48:07.911 --> 00:48:11.324
She never touched alcohol at all
except on social occasions

00:48:11.498 --> 00:48:12.988
to overcome her shyness...

00:48:13.458 --> 00:48:15.198
Or when she was upset.

00:48:16.420 --> 00:48:18.581
This was not a social occasion.

00:48:19.172 --> 00:48:20.172
No.

00:48:21.425 --> 00:48:24.041
We'd been discussing divorce
all afternoon.

00:48:41.278 --> 00:48:43.018
This whole subject of your...

00:48:44.406 --> 00:48:46.738
Work... coming between us,

00:48:48.410 --> 00:48:51.527
isn't it just a pretext
when the real subject is her?

00:48:52.331 --> 00:48:53.331
Certainly not.

00:48:56.168 --> 00:48:59.376
I'm thinking of redecorating
this whole fucking house.

00:49:01.757 --> 00:49:03.338
Then she knew about Alexandra.

00:49:05.177 --> 00:49:06.177
Yes.

00:49:06.470 --> 00:49:07.670
How did she find out?

00:49:08.597 --> 00:49:09.597
Uh...

00:49:10.098 --> 00:49:11.258
I, um...

00:49:12.017 --> 00:49:13.632
I told her the previous summer.

00:49:20.233 --> 00:49:22.189
Ala, can't we find one a bit slower?

00:49:28.367 --> 00:49:29.567
- Ah, that's much better.
- Hm.

00:49:31.286 --> 00:49:32.286
- Cooler.
- Hm.

00:49:35.540 --> 00:49:36.540
Thank you.

00:49:45.759 --> 00:49:47.340
Oh, I've been meaning to mention...

00:49:48.470 --> 00:49:50.506
Our understanding about my...

00:49:52.641 --> 00:49:54.381
Extracurricular activities.

00:49:54.977 --> 00:49:55.977
Mmm?

00:49:56.728 --> 00:49:58.639
I've been involved with someone who...

00:49:59.231 --> 00:50:02.143
Falls outside the parameters
of our agreement.

00:50:02.442 --> 00:50:03.602
- Really?
- Someone...

00:50:03.944 --> 00:50:05.525
Peripherally in our circle.

00:50:07.906 --> 00:50:08.986
Billy botsky's daughter,

00:50:09.157 --> 00:50:10.613
Alexandra isles.

00:50:13.245 --> 00:50:14.245
Well.

00:50:17.582 --> 00:50:18.742
That must be better for you

00:50:18.917 --> 00:50:20.357
than what you've had to put up with.

00:50:22.212 --> 00:50:23.952
You're referring to the call girls.

00:50:25.424 --> 00:50:26.424
Yes.

00:50:27.884 --> 00:50:31.172
I mean, that is where
you've gone previously, isn't it?

00:50:31.805 --> 00:50:32.805
Yes, it is.

00:50:35.809 --> 00:50:36.809
And isn't this better?

00:50:38.478 --> 00:50:41.015
Or is Billy botsky's daughter
a call girl, too?

00:50:42.983 --> 00:50:44.189
This is much better.

00:50:53.452 --> 00:50:54.942
That was what, July, August?

00:50:55.328 --> 00:50:56.443
Now it's Christmas time,

00:50:56.788 --> 00:50:59.074
and you were
still squabbling over Alexandra?

00:50:59.541 --> 00:51:01.657
No. We were fighting about my work.

00:51:05.422 --> 00:51:07.253
Well, by the evening,

00:51:07.424 --> 00:51:08.755
she'd drunk so much eggnog,

00:51:08.925 --> 00:51:10.790
that I had to help her into the bedroom.

00:51:12.220 --> 00:51:13.220
Alexander.

00:51:14.556 --> 00:51:15.796
Time for bed, darling.

00:51:18.268 --> 00:51:20.350
Mmm, mmm, mmm.

00:51:21.521 --> 00:51:22.521
There we are.

00:51:29.321 --> 00:51:31.232
Please don't hold my arm.

00:51:32.074 --> 00:51:33.754
Darling, you know
when you get like this...

00:51:34.743 --> 00:51:35.743
Remember?

00:51:37.537 --> 00:51:38.743
You fell and broke your hip.

00:51:38.997 --> 00:51:40.612
That was years ago.

00:51:43.001 --> 00:51:44.582
It was two years ago.

00:52:05.774 --> 00:52:07.435
Get me a scotch and soda.

00:52:18.829 --> 00:52:21.366
May I at least urinate alone?

00:52:41.143 --> 00:52:43.350
She runs the water
every time she goes in there.

00:52:45.981 --> 00:52:48.421
If she was already soused,
why'd you go for the scotch?

00:52:48.525 --> 00:52:50.186
Because she asked for it.

00:52:51.945 --> 00:52:54.277
Sunny got what sunny wanted.

00:52:54.739 --> 00:52:55.739
It's okay.

00:53:25.645 --> 00:53:26.645
Good night, dad.

00:53:27.314 --> 00:53:28.314
Good night, darling.

00:53:30.567 --> 00:53:31.567
Good night, claus.

00:53:32.235 --> 00:53:33.235
Good night, Alex.

00:53:47.209 --> 00:53:49.165
Hasn't my mother given us enough money?

00:53:51.296 --> 00:53:51.876
Claus?

00:53:52.172 --> 00:53:53.833
That night, we hardly slept.

00:53:54.216 --> 00:53:56.878
Your age,
it's perfectly acceptable to retire.

00:53:57.677 --> 00:53:59.042
I'm already retired.

00:54:00.472 --> 00:54:02.303
I haven't worked full-time since getty.

00:54:02.474 --> 00:54:03.930
Exactly. It's your ego.

00:54:04.100 --> 00:54:05.761
You've never had a career. Not really.

00:54:06.853 --> 00:54:08.389
Well, I'm going to have one now.

00:54:11.608 --> 00:54:14.020
Oh, come on, sunny, your father worked.

00:54:15.612 --> 00:54:17.193
Do you want the children to grow up

00:54:17.364 --> 00:54:19.525
thinking a male's place
is in a deck chair?

00:54:19.699 --> 00:54:21.030
Claus, you marry me for my money,

00:54:21.201 --> 00:54:22.201
then you demand to work.

00:54:22.244 --> 00:54:23.609
You're the prince of perversion.

00:54:24.204 --> 00:54:26.265
I mean, what? Are you trying
to destroy our whole family?

00:54:26.289 --> 00:54:27.289
Oh, no, of course not.

00:54:27.374 --> 00:54:29.456
I... l... l simply want some...

00:54:31.169 --> 00:54:32.534
Intercourse with the world.

00:54:32.712 --> 00:54:33.712
Shut up, pan!

00:54:34.965 --> 00:54:35.965
Oh, what does it matter?

00:54:39.552 --> 00:54:41.918
So is that it?

00:54:43.348 --> 00:54:44.383
Another divorce?

00:54:47.477 --> 00:54:48.477
Okay.

00:54:48.770 --> 00:54:50.852
I'll divorce you. I will.

00:54:51.940 --> 00:54:53.305
Oh, god...

00:54:54.067 --> 00:54:55.273
Two-time loser.

00:54:57.070 --> 00:54:58.401
I'll divorce everybody.

00:54:59.030 --> 00:55:01.146
I don't want a divorce.

00:55:01.950 --> 00:55:04.487
I don't want to marry
Billy botsky's daughter.

00:55:04.661 --> 00:55:06.401
I want to stay with you
and I want to work.

00:55:06.579 --> 00:55:09.036
I need that as a man.

00:55:13.003 --> 00:55:14.003
It's hopeless.

00:55:17.299 --> 00:55:18.334
Oh, god.

00:55:19.968 --> 00:55:21.333
I need my beauty sleep.

00:55:21.511 --> 00:55:24.272
Why do you... why do you believe
it's hopeless just because of some...

00:56:05.221 --> 00:56:06.221
Good night, claus.

00:56:08.641 --> 00:56:10.097
Sunny, you know I love you.

00:56:28.870 --> 00:56:29.870
Good night.

00:56:36.920 --> 00:56:37.920
Okay, and the next day?

00:56:38.338 --> 00:56:39.338
Well...

00:56:41.341 --> 00:56:44.708
Maria's testimony was wildly exaggerated.

00:56:46.304 --> 00:56:48.090
Sunny was never moaning.

00:56:49.182 --> 00:56:51.389
Maybe the occasional snore, but...

00:56:53.311 --> 00:56:55.597
And Maria shook sunny.

00:56:58.733 --> 00:57:01.349
Nobody ever shook sunny.

00:57:05.657 --> 00:57:07.488
What happened when
she regained consciousness?

00:57:08.159 --> 00:57:09.490
After the first coma,

00:57:09.661 --> 00:57:11.276
well, it was kind of absurd.

00:57:11.454 --> 00:57:13.160
Everybody was angry at me.

00:57:17.210 --> 00:57:19.121
Can't you ever leave me alone?

00:57:22.757 --> 00:57:23.837
Why did you do it?

00:57:25.093 --> 00:57:26.754
I would have been better off.

00:57:27.554 --> 00:57:29.135
You would have been better off.

00:57:29.305 --> 00:57:30.545
What do you want me to say?

00:57:30.974 --> 00:57:32.589
That I'm sorry I saved your life?

00:57:32.767 --> 00:57:33.767
Yes.

00:57:38.398 --> 00:57:39.398
Say it.

00:57:47.407 --> 00:57:48.692
Of course I'm not sorry.

00:58:07.051 --> 00:58:08.051
Wha...

00:58:09.387 --> 00:58:10.387
Claus...

00:58:14.809 --> 00:58:16.925
What am I going to do with myself?

00:58:23.693 --> 00:58:24.978
When I phoned Alexandra,

00:58:25.153 --> 00:58:27.256
to tell her what had happened,
she said the same thing,

00:58:27.280 --> 00:58:29.145
she said, "why did you do it?

00:58:29.324 --> 00:58:30.780
Why did you call the doctor?”

00:58:31.034 --> 00:58:33.116
You telling me she wanted
you to let sunny die?

00:58:33.578 --> 00:58:35.990
No, no, no, no, no.

00:58:36.164 --> 00:58:37.449
It was more...

00:58:37.999 --> 00:58:41.491
"Everybody says sunny" s
such an unhappy woman

00:58:41.669 --> 00:58:44.877
and has nothing to live for."

00:58:47.133 --> 00:58:49.670
Well, so much for the first coma.

00:58:50.803 --> 00:58:52.009
The second, of course,

00:58:52.430 --> 00:58:54.136
was much more theatrical.

00:58:55.058 --> 00:58:56.698
Theatrical? What is this, a fucking game?

00:58:57.644 --> 00:59:00.010
This is life and death.
Your wife is laying in a coma.

00:59:01.231 --> 00:59:03.151
You don't even make a pretense
of caring, do you?

00:59:04.651 --> 00:59:05.936
'Course I care, Alan.

00:59:08.488 --> 00:59:10.604
It's just I don't wear
my heart on my sleeve.

00:59:15.328 --> 00:59:16.448
Let's call it a night, okay?

00:59:17.330 --> 00:59:18.661
Okay, guys, so...

00:59:19.499 --> 00:59:20.499
As you wish.

00:59:20.833 --> 00:59:22.553
There were three drugs
on the needle, right?

00:59:22.585 --> 00:59:24.917
Amobarbital, valium, Insulin.

00:59:26.548 --> 00:59:27.879
We can't all be you, Alan.

00:59:36.558 --> 00:59:37.758
Shoot! Shoot! All right.

00:59:38.351 --> 00:59:40.808
Okay, get a doctor
to prepare five needles,

00:59:41.271 --> 00:59:42.511
one with nothing,

00:59:42.772 --> 00:59:45.263
two with valium, amobarbital, and Insulin,

00:59:45.525 --> 00:59:47.436
two with just valium and amobarbital.

00:59:47.610 --> 00:59:50.477
We're gonna send them to the same lab
that our famous needle went to.

00:59:50.655 --> 00:59:52.611
Let's see if we can get
a false positive result.

00:59:53.032 --> 00:59:54.032
If we don't?

00:59:55.076 --> 00:59:56.532
We don't, I clean the latrines.

00:59:56.703 --> 00:59:58.343
Aw, you're not gonna believe this.

00:59:58.955 --> 01:00:00.195
David marriott wants money.

01:00:00.373 --> 01:00:01.373
Yeah, who doesn't?

01:00:02.166 --> 01:00:03.531
I'm afraid his memory might fade.

01:00:03.710 --> 01:00:04.853
Oh, the hell with him. Forget about him.

01:00:04.877 --> 01:00:06.188
Well, he has lost his crumby job,

01:00:06.212 --> 01:00:08.412
and he is running around
trying to find evidence for us.

01:00:10.550 --> 01:00:12.695
Okay, why don't we do what
the government does with its witnesses?

01:00:12.719 --> 01:00:13.959
Okay? We'll pay for his time.

01:00:14.596 --> 01:00:15.596
What's his time worth?

01:00:15.888 --> 01:00:18.470
Buck and a half. = Sarah? Dersh?

01:00:19.559 --> 01:00:20.559
Your team's on.

01:00:21.352 --> 01:00:23.205
Okay.
You going to pass to me this game or what?

01:00:23.229 --> 01:00:24.229
No.

01:00:26.316 --> 01:00:27.726
Their private investigator said

01:00:27.900 --> 01:00:29.820
the needle had a small encrustation
near the tip.

01:00:29.861 --> 01:00:32.773
Now, doctors tell us this is
totally inconsistent with injection.

01:00:33.072 --> 01:00:34.278
Okay, so how did it get there?

01:00:36.951 --> 01:00:37.951
Oh.

01:00:38.036 --> 01:00:39.947
If I inject this needle,

01:00:40.288 --> 01:00:42.370
the skin acts as kind of a swab.

01:00:42.707 --> 01:00:43.947
It cleans the needle off,

01:00:44.292 --> 01:00:46.954
leaving the tip completely free of liquid.

01:00:47.128 --> 01:00:50.291
But if I just dip the needle
into the liquid,

01:00:50.465 --> 01:00:51.465
what do you see?

01:00:52.592 --> 01:00:53.592
Dry this out,

01:00:53.926 --> 01:00:55.416
you have an encrustation.

01:00:55.845 --> 01:00:56.885
So it's a frame-up?

01:00:57.472 --> 01:00:59.303
It's desdemona's handkerchief.

01:01:00.433 --> 01:01:02.173
My stepchildren thought I was guilty,

01:01:02.352 --> 01:01:03.842
didn't feel they had enough evidence,

01:01:04.020 --> 01:01:05.226
and so concocted some.

01:01:05.605 --> 01:01:06.936
This should win us the case, no?

01:01:07.273 --> 01:01:09.480
No. We're maybe halfway home.

01:01:10.902 --> 01:01:12.358
There's still a lot of weird stuff.

01:01:13.404 --> 01:01:14.404
Did you love sunny?

01:01:14.781 --> 01:01:15.781
I married her.

01:01:17.241 --> 01:01:18.902
Of course I loved her. She was beautiful.

01:01:19.077 --> 01:01:20.077
Rich.

01:01:20.244 --> 01:01:21.244
Why not?

01:01:21.579 --> 01:01:23.219
What I've seen of the rich, you can have.

01:01:23.956 --> 01:01:24.956
I do.

01:01:29.587 --> 01:01:30.587
The black bag,

01:01:30.838 --> 01:01:31.838
was it yours?

01:01:34.175 --> 01:01:35.756
Sunny appropriated it.

01:01:36.386 --> 01:01:37.842
Now, to understand that,

01:01:38.054 --> 01:01:40.796
you must understand
that after the first coma,

01:01:41.057 --> 01:01:43.218
she went into a complete rage.

01:01:48.272 --> 01:01:49.933
Where are they? Did you take them?

01:01:50.108 --> 01:01:51.188
Certainly not. Take what?

01:01:51.359 --> 01:01:52.974
My pills, you moron.

01:01:54.070 --> 01:01:55.401
Valium, seconal...

01:01:57.156 --> 01:01:58.196
You took them, didn't you?

01:01:58.825 --> 01:02:01.111
My dear, I've long since
stopped interfering.

01:02:01.285 --> 01:02:03.196
Well, who? My children wouldn't dare...

01:02:03.955 --> 01:02:04.955
Oh.

01:02:05.206 --> 01:02:06.616
Oh, I know who.

01:02:06.791 --> 01:02:07.791
Where are you going?

01:02:21.055 --> 01:02:22.055
Maria!

01:02:32.066 --> 01:02:33.602
She soon found them.

01:02:35.236 --> 01:02:37.101
It's my lovely mother, isn't it?

01:02:37.488 --> 01:02:38.819
She's behind all this.

01:02:39.782 --> 01:02:41.568
She's in cahoots with Maria.

01:02:43.536 --> 01:02:47.529
Well, just because she had all the money

01:02:47.707 --> 01:02:49.447
before I had all the money

01:02:49.625 --> 01:02:51.911
does not mean she's my lord and master.

01:02:52.253 --> 01:02:54.494
'Course not. I am your lord and master.

01:02:56.549 --> 01:02:57.549
Just kidding.

01:03:02.805 --> 01:03:04.511
Maria loves me too much.

01:03:05.850 --> 01:03:07.135
It's unhealthy for her,

01:03:07.894 --> 01:03:10.135
and it's certainly no fun for me.

01:03:15.526 --> 01:03:16.606
There.

01:03:32.585 --> 01:03:34.576
We'll see if that ugly little maid of mine

01:03:34.754 --> 01:03:35.994
can sniff this one out.

01:03:45.973 --> 01:03:47.653
And what are you going
to do with all that?

01:03:48.976 --> 01:03:50.136
I'm not going to tell you.

01:03:51.103 --> 01:03:53.594
I assure you,
it not gonna be among my affairs.

01:03:55.608 --> 01:03:58.395
Odd she used that word, affairs.

01:03:59.487 --> 01:04:01.715
You realize the prosecution thinks
you ground up the drugs

01:04:01.739 --> 01:04:02.979
so you could inject sunny?

01:04:03.407 --> 01:04:06.194
And frankly, this nose drop business
is pretty far-fetched.

01:04:06.953 --> 01:04:09.285
But consider the pattern, Alan.

01:04:10.289 --> 01:04:13.281
It's public record that sunny used drugs.

01:04:13.668 --> 01:04:16.501
Her behavior here of hiding them in liquid

01:04:16.921 --> 01:04:18.661
so that no one will find them,

01:04:19.298 --> 01:04:21.664
it's your classic alcoholic
buying pints of whiskey

01:04:21.843 --> 01:04:23.458
and stashing them all over the house.

01:04:24.929 --> 01:04:25.929
You're right.

01:04:27.139 --> 01:04:28.139
Of course, I mean...

01:04:28.891 --> 01:04:31.132
I mean, you've always
been right, haven't you?

01:04:32.478 --> 01:04:34.518
This is the most dangerous case
I've ever worked on.

01:04:35.064 --> 01:04:36.270
You find that exhilarating?

01:04:36.440 --> 01:04:37.440
No, I do not.

01:04:38.943 --> 01:04:40.103
I am breaking every rule.

01:04:40.528 --> 01:04:42.768
'Cause the best way to win
is to proclaim your innocence,

01:04:42.864 --> 01:04:44.775
and I've never done that for anybody.

01:04:45.700 --> 01:04:47.691
And the problem I got is
I see who you are.

01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:49.154
You'd do anything to win.

01:04:49.745 --> 01:04:50.745
So would you.

01:04:50.872 --> 01:04:52.552
Yeah, but you don't trust
the legal system.

01:04:53.583 --> 01:04:55.744
You're saying I'd manufacture witnesses?

01:04:56.586 --> 01:04:57.666
Affidavits?

01:04:59.130 --> 01:05:01.371
No, but you would sacrifice me.

01:05:01.549 --> 01:05:02.549
Oh, please, Alan.

01:05:02.800 --> 01:05:05.520
See, the more I believe that
you are innocent, the more nervous I am.

01:05:07.096 --> 01:05:08.632
I go out on a limb for you,

01:05:09.140 --> 01:05:10.971
you're proven guilty,
I look like an asshole.

01:05:11.809 --> 01:05:14.721
My reputation, my credibility,
my career, destroyed.

01:05:16.397 --> 01:05:18.012
That's the risk you're taking, isn't it?

01:05:18.190 --> 01:05:19.225
Yeah, well, fuck you.

01:05:20.151 --> 01:05:21.357
Fuck you, man.

01:05:33.789 --> 01:05:35.404
I'm glad we understand one another.

01:05:38.961 --> 01:05:42.078
It's easy to forget
all this is about me...

01:05:42.757 --> 01:05:43.837
Lying here.

01:05:44.759 --> 01:05:47.421
To most of you, my name means coma.

01:05:47.929 --> 01:05:51.092
My second marriage means attempted murder.

01:05:51.766 --> 01:05:53.176
Everything that came before,

01:05:53.351 --> 01:05:56.764
everything beautiful,
does not exist in the public mind.

01:05:57.605 --> 01:06:00.017
No one thinks of how I loved my children.

01:06:00.524 --> 01:06:01.639
Look at cosima,

01:06:02.568 --> 01:06:03.603
and Alex, of course,

01:06:04.320 --> 01:06:05.320
and ala,

01:06:05.571 --> 01:06:07.857
and certainly no one cares about claus,

01:06:08.366 --> 01:06:10.527
the way he was
when I fell in love with him.

01:06:11.369 --> 01:06:12.905
When claus and I first met,

01:06:13.079 --> 01:06:16.663
I was married to the dashing, young
prince Alfred eduard friederich

01:06:16.832 --> 01:06:19.744
vincenz Martin Maria Von auersberg.

01:06:20.836 --> 01:06:23.077
It was 1964,

01:06:24.090 --> 01:06:26.502
seven years into my first marriage.

01:06:32.264 --> 01:06:34.220
It seems that my first husband,

01:06:34.517 --> 01:06:36.678
Alfie, as he was called,

01:06:37.478 --> 01:06:41.642
had vowed to be unfaithful
with every pretty girl in Europe.

01:06:43.818 --> 01:06:45.934
He was having quite a success.

01:06:47.905 --> 01:06:48.905
And so...

01:06:50.032 --> 01:06:52.648
I was unfaithful with claus.

01:07:04.046 --> 01:07:05.046
Psst!

01:07:11.178 --> 01:07:12.884
Wildly unfaithful.

01:07:15.057 --> 01:07:16.217
Happy memories.

01:07:25.192 --> 01:07:27.683
But it's not the passion I remember most.

01:07:29.613 --> 01:07:30.853
It's the tenderness.

01:07:37.830 --> 01:07:39.115
Good god, what's that?

01:07:39.790 --> 01:07:41.371
There's one of frank's pets.

01:07:46.005 --> 01:07:47.620
Oh, my god. No, no.

01:08:04.607 --> 01:08:06.518
I never liked people much,

01:08:06.942 --> 01:08:08.057
not as a rule.

01:08:08.611 --> 01:08:09.611
Go ahead, feed him.

01:08:09.695 --> 01:08:11.902
But claus was somehow different.

01:08:14.867 --> 01:08:17.199
Not a normal person, I guess.

01:08:21.165 --> 01:08:22.701
It's all right. Do it again.

01:08:22.875 --> 01:08:23.875
Give him some more.

01:08:26.087 --> 01:08:27.087
Aw!

01:08:37.430 --> 01:08:39.967
One of those things you never forget.

01:08:41.894 --> 01:08:44.806
Of course, now he lives in my apartment...

01:08:45.814 --> 01:08:46.894
My bedroom...

01:08:48.067 --> 01:08:49.067
My bed.

01:08:50.402 --> 01:08:51.892
Cold, isn't it?

01:08:53.029 --> 01:08:56.146
Cold and brutish and the way of the world.

01:08:57.660 --> 01:08:58.660
Looking at him now,

01:08:58.702 --> 01:09:00.317
the issues seem simple.

01:09:01.412 --> 01:09:02.652
Is he the devil?

01:09:03.624 --> 01:09:06.787
If so, can the devil get justice?

01:09:08.129 --> 01:09:10.290
And all this legal activity...

01:09:11.674 --> 01:09:14.086
Is it in Satan's service?

01:09:15.010 --> 01:09:17.342
"Sunny Von bulow was totally vulnerable

01:09:17.513 --> 01:09:18.969
to claus Von bulow."

01:09:20.140 --> 01:09:21.140
Can't argue with that.

01:09:21.892 --> 01:09:24.679
But it's speculation. Exaggeration.

01:09:24.854 --> 01:09:25.854
You keep working on it.

01:09:26.104 --> 01:09:28.220
Totally inflammatory!

01:09:30.151 --> 01:09:31.812
Okay, good. Let's go over this.

01:09:33.154 --> 01:09:36.646
Okay, we went over it... once,
I just wanted you to see if...

01:09:44.456 --> 01:09:46.572
Oh, shit, wha... what is this,
illegal search?

01:09:49.377 --> 01:09:50.497
It's a classic technicality.

01:09:50.546 --> 01:09:51.376
It's a guilty man's argument.

01:09:51.546 --> 01:09:52.626
Come on, this is different.

01:09:52.798 --> 01:09:55.110
Usual fourth amendment case,
you're trying to exclude evidence

01:09:55.134 --> 01:09:56.444
that's bad for your client.
= no, no. No, no.

01:09:56.468 --> 01:09:57.878
Same thing here. Same thing.

01:09:58.053 --> 01:10:00.419
No. This search destroyed evidence.

01:10:00.973 --> 01:10:02.304
No fingerprints, no inventory.

01:10:02.474 --> 01:10:04.339
Yeah, what's left hurts claus,
but under Brady,

01:10:04.518 --> 01:10:05.662
the state has an obligation...

01:10:05.685 --> 01:10:07.725
Wait, wait, wait a second.
The cops tested the drugs

01:10:07.813 --> 01:10:09.499
- from the illegal search, right?
- Yes, yes.

01:10:09.523 --> 01:10:13.107
And we are saying that that test
constituted a second illegal search.

01:10:13.277 --> 01:10:14.016
There are precedents.

01:10:14.195 --> 01:10:15.881
- Walter, Jacobson, Morgan.
- I know there are precedents.

01:10:15.905 --> 01:10:17.924
I know the law is on our side.
I'm not debating that.

01:10:17.948 --> 01:10:18.607
What I'm trying to do is...

01:10:18.782 --> 01:10:21.694
No. You're debating me personally. Why?

01:10:23.746 --> 01:10:26.579
I'm debating strategy, okay?
I'm not... I'm not debating you.

01:10:26.749 --> 01:10:27.579
We're all on the same team.

01:10:27.750 --> 01:10:29.311
A-a-are we on the same team here or not?

01:10:29.335 --> 01:10:31.075
I don't know. We seem to be.

01:10:31.462 --> 01:10:32.702
Well then, why don't I feel it?

01:10:33.589 --> 01:10:35.150
I thought this was strictly professional.

01:10:35.174 --> 01:10:36.835
- It was.
- That's bullshit, Alan.

01:10:37.259 --> 01:10:39.671
Look, I brought you... I... l asked you
to work on this case

01:10:39.845 --> 01:10:41.156
because I think you are a good lawyer.

01:10:41.180 --> 01:10:43.762
I think you're a fine lawyer, too.
You're a great lawyer.

01:10:43.933 --> 01:10:45.452
But you give everything you have
to the law,

01:10:45.476 --> 01:10:46.912
and you forget the people you care about.

01:10:46.936 --> 01:10:49.598
My clients are the people
that I care about.

01:10:49.772 --> 01:10:50.431
Obviously.

01:10:50.606 --> 01:10:52.046
What I care about, all I care about,

01:10:52.191 --> 01:10:54.477
all I fucking care about is this!

01:10:55.152 --> 01:10:56.358
This case!

01:10:56.779 --> 01:11:00.442
And making... making the best possible
appeal we're capable of doing, okay?

01:11:00.908 --> 01:11:02.773
Now, you can make
your argument better, Sarah.

01:11:02.952 --> 01:11:04.783
You know that! I know that!

01:11:04.954 --> 01:11:07.194
So why don't you just do it
and cut out all the bullshit?

01:11:08.666 --> 01:11:10.786
Wow, you always have to have
the last word, don't you?

01:11:42.658 --> 01:11:43.658
What?

01:11:46.245 --> 01:11:47.245
We're going to lose.

01:11:48.580 --> 01:11:50.866
W-why do you think
this case fascinates people?

01:11:52.668 --> 01:11:55.580
'Cause one time or other every man
is driven crazy by his wife,

01:11:55.754 --> 01:11:56.834
and in his secret heart,

01:11:57.923 --> 01:12:00.255
he wants to do exactly
what claus is accused of,

01:12:01.385 --> 01:12:05.048
kill her in some sly, silent way
that can't be detected.

01:12:05.597 --> 01:12:07.337
Claus is a scapegoat.

01:12:07.933 --> 01:12:10.549
Someone has to suffer for the sin
that we all want to commit.

01:12:13.439 --> 01:12:15.930
Alan, that's ridiculous.

01:12:18.110 --> 01:12:19.566
It's ridiculous, you're right.

01:12:19.987 --> 01:12:21.147
It's rid...

01:12:24.325 --> 01:12:25.325
What do you got?

01:12:25.784 --> 01:12:28.742
Prosecution's case is based on a theory.

01:12:30.539 --> 01:12:31.539
The needle in the bag,

01:12:31.582 --> 01:12:33.197
plus Insulin on the needle,

01:12:33.625 --> 01:12:36.162
- plus Insulin in her blood.
- Right, right, yeah. Okay, fine.

01:12:37.421 --> 01:12:40.629
In Derek, this Rhode Island supreme court,

01:12:40.799 --> 01:12:41.799
these same judges,

01:12:42.551 --> 01:12:46.544
said that in a case based
on circumstantial theory,

01:12:47.890 --> 01:12:49.551
the case falls apart

01:12:50.392 --> 01:12:52.474
if any part of the theory is weak.

01:12:53.562 --> 01:12:55.002
If there's a weak link in the chain,

01:12:55.105 --> 01:12:56.505
then you throw the whole chain out?

01:12:56.940 --> 01:12:57.940
Exactly.

01:12:59.985 --> 01:13:01.521
Peter, that's very... that's good.

01:13:01.695 --> 01:13:02.730
That... that's very good.

01:13:07.326 --> 01:13:08.406
Oh, yeah, this is good.

01:13:09.078 --> 01:13:10.238
- Thank you.
- Oh, yeah.

01:13:10.496 --> 01:13:12.140
Wait, wait, wait.
What do you want me to do now?

01:13:12.164 --> 01:13:12.949
What I want you to do?

01:13:13.123 --> 01:13:15.660
I want you to find as many
alternative theories as possible.

01:13:16.043 --> 01:13:17.043
Hey! Hey, hey!

01:13:17.169 --> 01:13:19.369
Come on, come on, come on.
There's only seven days left.

01:13:24.343 --> 01:13:26.959
Dersh? I'm sorry,
but you better come downstairs.

01:13:28.347 --> 01:13:30.759
Hey, dersh. Sorry to get you out of bed.

01:13:32.309 --> 01:13:34.245
What do you... what
do you want, more money?

01:13:34.269 --> 01:13:35.269
Can you get more?

01:13:37.523 --> 01:13:38.963
Can I have a glass of water, please?

01:13:43.612 --> 01:13:44.612
No.

01:13:44.863 --> 01:13:45.863
The reason I'm here,

01:13:46.198 --> 01:13:47.813
my affidavit is inaccurate.

01:13:52.287 --> 01:13:54.278
Great. Just what I need right now.

01:13:55.874 --> 01:13:56.954
- That's swell.
- Yeah.

01:13:58.252 --> 01:14:00.868
I left something out,
something incredibly important.

01:14:02.423 --> 01:14:05.631
Remember I gave Alex's drugs
to a woman at clarendon court?

01:14:06.760 --> 01:14:07.760
Yeah. So?

01:14:08.011 --> 01:14:10.502
Well, that bitch was
definitely sunny Von bulow.

01:14:12.558 --> 01:14:14.139
David...

01:14:14.977 --> 01:14:15.977
This, uh...

01:14:17.062 --> 01:14:18.393
This is bad. It looks bad.

01:14:18.730 --> 01:14:21.722
I've met with you, what,
five times now? All of a sudden...

01:14:21.900 --> 01:14:23.265
No, it's not sudden.

01:14:24.194 --> 01:14:26.150
I think I always knew,
but I became convinced

01:14:26.321 --> 01:14:27.857
by staring at pictures of her.

01:14:31.910 --> 01:14:34.070
Well, we can't use your affidavit
unless it's truthful.

01:14:34.955 --> 01:14:36.035
Are you sure this time?

01:14:36.206 --> 01:14:37.206
I swear...

01:14:38.041 --> 01:14:40.032
On the body and soul of my mother.

01:14:41.628 --> 01:14:42.628
Poor woman.

01:14:45.799 --> 01:14:47.359
Put in this change and make him go over

01:14:47.468 --> 01:14:48.753
every word of the affidavit.

01:14:50.429 --> 01:14:51.429
Uh...

01:14:51.638 --> 01:14:52.844
Can I use your men's room?

01:15:04.359 --> 01:15:05.503
More money?

01:15:05.527 --> 01:15:07.007
Can you get more?

01:15:12.784 --> 01:15:14.775
But if claus had injected her,

01:15:14.995 --> 01:15:16.860
he'd have thrown away the needle, right?

01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:19.121
Sure. If he threw away the Insulin,

01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:21.000
why keep the needle?

01:15:21.210 --> 01:15:23.121
Hey, claus is strange,
but he ain't stupid.

01:15:24.129 --> 01:15:25.209
He is arrogant.

01:15:25.714 --> 01:15:26.544
Is that a crime?

01:15:26.715 --> 01:15:28.195
Sometimes.

01:15:28.300 --> 01:15:30.165
Why are we even discussing this?

01:15:30.385 --> 01:15:32.296
It's obvious. The kids framed him.

01:15:32.471 --> 01:15:34.553
Whoa, you changed your tune.

01:15:37.809 --> 01:15:39.845
A frame-up doesn't mean he's innocent.

01:15:40.771 --> 01:15:42.636
The kids could have framed a guilty man.

01:15:43.982 --> 01:15:44.982
Dersh!

01:15:45.150 --> 01:15:46.150
Telephone!

01:15:49.821 --> 01:15:50.981
It's Peter macintosh.

01:15:52.241 --> 01:15:53.241
Yeah?

01:15:58.914 --> 01:15:59.914
You know what it is?

01:16:03.001 --> 01:16:04.001
Okay.

01:16:08.590 --> 01:16:10.751
Word in Rhode Island
is that the state can't lose.

01:16:11.176 --> 01:16:12.456
They got an Ace up their sleeve.

01:16:13.679 --> 01:16:14.679
What is it?

01:16:17.641 --> 01:16:18.841
He's going to try to find out.

01:16:21.770 --> 01:16:22.770
All right, my friend...

01:16:23.188 --> 01:16:24.268
Friend? I like that.

01:16:24.439 --> 01:16:25.439
Nothing personal.

01:16:26.358 --> 01:16:28.189
Okay, no students, no withesses.

01:16:28.694 --> 01:16:29.774
Second coma. Let's hear it.

01:16:30.862 --> 01:16:31.862
Well, Alan,

01:16:32.239 --> 01:16:34.525
strange as it may seem now in retrospect...

01:16:34.700 --> 01:16:35.700
Claus, cut the bullshit.

01:16:35.867 --> 01:16:37.403
December 20, 1980.

01:16:40.581 --> 01:16:41.787
Sunny was unwell.

01:16:42.207 --> 01:16:45.290
We'd been arguing all afternoon.

01:16:46.044 --> 01:16:49.127
I'd at last been offered a new position
in the oil business,

01:16:49.298 --> 01:16:51.505
which would have meant
my spending some time in Europe.

01:16:56.513 --> 01:16:58.469
Well, the discussion must have escalated,

01:16:58.640 --> 01:17:00.676
because I went to talk to the children.

01:17:03.020 --> 01:17:06.262
This cargo will bring 50,000 gold florins

01:17:06.440 --> 01:17:07.850
from any rebels worth the name.

01:17:08.025 --> 01:17:09.390
50,000 florins?

01:17:09.568 --> 01:17:11.229
That's a pretty good take.

01:17:11.528 --> 01:17:12.630
Let's put it to the vote.

01:17:12.654 --> 01:17:13.814
All those in favor...

01:17:13.989 --> 01:17:16.401
If you'll forgive
my interrupting, skipper,

01:17:16.742 --> 01:17:18.403
I'd like to think before I...

01:17:21.246 --> 01:17:24.238
L... I've something to tell you both.

01:17:24.583 --> 01:17:27.503
We're heading for
the biggest and the best pirate days ever!

01:17:27.753 --> 01:17:29.539
L...

01:17:33.759 --> 01:17:34.759
It looks as if...

01:17:36.261 --> 01:17:37.421
As though...

01:17:37.929 --> 01:17:40.136
Mummy and I are going to have to split up,

01:17:41.933 --> 01:17:44.766
because my work is something
she just cannot tolerate.

01:17:45.062 --> 01:17:46.768
Mummy says things like that.

01:17:48.190 --> 01:17:49.521
She always gets over it.

01:17:50.233 --> 01:17:52.770
Yes, but this has been
going on for too long.

01:18:00.952 --> 01:18:03.489
I'm going to Europe for a few months
in the new year,

01:18:05.666 --> 01:18:07.226
and this will probably lead to a split.

01:18:07.584 --> 01:18:08.584
Oh.

01:18:09.628 --> 01:18:11.038
It's all right. She'll get over it.

01:18:14.841 --> 01:18:17.481
Yeah, well, Alexander says
that conversation happened the next day.

01:18:17.552 --> 01:18:19.213
Can you imagine anything more absurd

01:18:19.388 --> 01:18:21.424
than announcing your intention
to divorce a woman

01:18:21.598 --> 01:18:23.429
who's just fallen into a coma?

01:18:24.267 --> 01:18:27.805
No. That evening,
everything seemed normal enough.

01:18:29.356 --> 01:18:30.471
Not cheerful,

01:18:31.441 --> 01:18:34.057
but then, we didn't usually
giggle at mealtimes.

01:18:35.237 --> 01:18:37.944
Despite her doctor's warnings
about sweets,

01:18:38.115 --> 01:18:41.107
the only thing sunny consumed
was a sundae.

01:18:52.879 --> 01:18:55.916
After supper, I went to finish off
some work in my study.

01:18:57.008 --> 01:18:58.069
Well, what should we all do?

01:18:58.093 --> 01:19:00.459
The others decided to chat
in the living room.

01:19:01.680 --> 01:19:03.261
Ah, that would be lovely, but...

01:19:04.015 --> 01:19:06.802
First I need to go to my...
To my room for just a minute.

01:19:21.283 --> 01:19:23.490
After about an hour, I dropped in on them.

01:19:28.331 --> 01:19:29.811
Darling, would you care for anything?

01:19:31.960 --> 01:19:32.960
Mmm...

01:19:34.463 --> 01:19:36.704
If there's some...

01:19:37.924 --> 01:19:39.334
Chicken bullion left.

01:19:43.722 --> 01:19:44.722
I'll look.

01:20:00.071 --> 01:20:01.071
There you are, darling.

01:20:11.541 --> 01:20:12.541
Thank you.

01:20:20.759 --> 01:20:23.091
How is your work... coming?

01:20:23.261 --> 01:20:24.261
I'm totally flummoxed.

01:20:24.429 --> 01:20:26.109
I can't get the figures to make any sense.

01:20:29.851 --> 01:20:31.557
Why don't you call your friend Deborah?

01:20:32.979 --> 01:20:34.594
I doubt she'd be in Saturday night.

01:20:39.486 --> 01:20:42.899
So, Deborah, I think you'll agree,
that's 728... right, now.

01:20:43.490 --> 01:20:44.650
But Deborah was home,

01:20:44.741 --> 01:20:47.153
and we did talk for some time until...

01:20:48.620 --> 01:20:49.620
- Claus.
- Hold on.

01:20:49.663 --> 01:20:50.823
Come quick. Mummy's not well.

01:20:51.665 --> 01:20:54.122
Deborah, can I call you back
in the morning? Thanks.

01:20:54.543 --> 01:20:57.376
Her voice got very weak and
she almost fell down. I had to help her.

01:21:08.640 --> 01:21:10.176
Somebody open a window.

01:21:13.812 --> 01:21:15.723
I find the chill reassuring.

01:21:20.735 --> 01:21:22.225
Now I must speak with claus.

01:21:22.404 --> 01:21:23.484
- Night, mummy.
- Night.

01:21:29.035 --> 01:21:30.035
Good night, darling.

01:21:32.914 --> 01:21:33.914
Good night, Alex.

01:21:34.708 --> 01:21:35.868
She'll be all right.

01:21:45.594 --> 01:21:47.755
That is, if claus has time to talk.

01:21:48.555 --> 01:21:49.340
Or are you going to work

01:21:49.514 --> 01:21:51.755
every spare moment
right through Christmas?

01:21:52.809 --> 01:21:53.809
Hmm?

01:21:55.562 --> 01:21:57.393
Is your work really so fascinating,

01:21:58.064 --> 01:21:59.375
or are you trying to drive me away?

01:21:59.399 --> 01:22:01.435
Because if you are,
it's succeeding beautifully,

01:22:01.610 --> 01:22:02.650
because I don't want this.

01:22:03.820 --> 01:22:04.980
I didn't marry you for this.

01:22:06.072 --> 01:22:07.152
I could have had anybody.

01:22:07.532 --> 01:22:09.022
With my money? Anybody.

01:22:10.660 --> 01:22:11.660
Well?

01:22:12.829 --> 01:22:13.829
Say something!

01:22:16.249 --> 01:22:17.249
Do something!

01:22:18.585 --> 01:22:19.585
Be a man!

01:22:21.588 --> 01:22:22.953
I already have a Butler.

01:22:28.011 --> 01:22:29.011
Do something!

01:22:30.263 --> 01:22:32.675
I don't want this! I don't!

01:22:32.849 --> 01:22:34.009
I don't want this!

01:22:34.976 --> 01:22:35.976
Please! I don't...

01:22:36.269 --> 01:22:37.600
I don't want th...

01:22:39.522 --> 01:22:41.979
The same conversation
as the previous year,

01:22:42.400 --> 01:22:44.356
only this time with greater venom.

01:22:44.527 --> 01:22:46.087
You've always been afraid of me.

01:22:46.363 --> 01:22:47.523
It's not because of my money.

01:22:48.239 --> 01:22:49.799
It's basically because you're a coward.

01:22:51.076 --> 01:22:53.112
Because your pitiful masculinity
is so fragile

01:22:53.286 --> 01:22:55.368
you can't stand the idea of confrontation,

01:22:55.538 --> 01:22:57.870
so you go off with miss botsky...

01:22:58.041 --> 01:22:59.041
Good night.

01:23:14.766 --> 01:23:16.176
Hey! Hey.

01:23:17.227 --> 01:23:19.934
As was usual,
I was awakened before dawn.

01:23:26.236 --> 01:23:28.522
I let the dogs out, as was customary.

01:23:33.618 --> 01:23:34.903
I went back through the bedroom

01:23:35.078 --> 01:23:37.911
to my study as quietly as possible.

01:23:43.670 --> 01:23:46.082
I did not notice if my wife was in bed.

01:23:46.423 --> 01:23:49.790
I did not notice if the light was on
under the bathroom door.

01:23:50.301 --> 01:23:53.008
Had it been on,
I wouldn't have given it a thought.

01:23:53.930 --> 01:23:56.387
I did my exercises, showered,

01:23:56.683 --> 01:23:58.548
and then I called Deborah Knowles.

01:23:59.102 --> 01:24:01.514
Well, I mean,
it's stable and it's profitable.

01:24:02.814 --> 01:24:04.270
Can anyone really believe,

01:24:04.441 --> 01:24:06.602
if I was trying to murder my wife,

01:24:06.776 --> 01:24:10.360
that I would spend an hour
going over a tedious set of figures?

01:24:12.032 --> 01:24:14.364
After the call, I passed
through the bedroom again.

01:24:14.534 --> 01:24:15.740
I remember it was freezing.

01:24:16.286 --> 01:24:18.698
By this time,
sunny was certainly not in bed,

01:24:19.289 --> 01:24:21.450
and I heard water running in the bathroom.

01:24:25.003 --> 01:24:27.961
I had breakfast, walked the dogs,

01:24:28.548 --> 01:24:29.583
and on my return,

01:24:29.841 --> 01:24:31.797
asked the children where mummy was.

01:24:33.094 --> 01:24:34.214
Has mummy had breakfast yet?

01:24:35.597 --> 01:24:36.597
We haven't seen her.

01:24:41.394 --> 01:24:42.394
Sunny?

01:24:44.481 --> 01:24:46.563
Her bathroom was her private sanctuary.

01:24:46.983 --> 01:24:49.725
No one entered it,
except the maid, of course,

01:24:49.903 --> 01:24:50.903
to clean up.

01:24:51.905 --> 01:24:54.817
Sometimes she stayed there for hours,
or so it seemed.

01:24:55.408 --> 01:24:58.992
One can only speculate what goes on
behind a closed door.

01:24:59.245 --> 01:25:00.485
Sunny, are you there?

01:25:02.207 --> 01:25:04.072
I hesitated even to knock.

01:25:07.128 --> 01:25:08.128
Darling?

01:25:24.604 --> 01:25:25.604
Sunny?

01:25:28.108 --> 01:25:29.223
Oh, god.

01:25:30.902 --> 01:25:32.893
Once I'd ascertained she was breathing,

01:25:33.071 --> 01:25:34.902
I went to fetch Alexander.

01:25:35.824 --> 01:25:37.280
Why not call an ambulance first?

01:25:37.700 --> 01:25:39.861
Panic, Alan, panic.

01:25:40.328 --> 01:25:41.328
I mean, I... il...

01:25:42.413 --> 01:25:44.620
I... l needed to talk to somebody. There...

01:25:47.252 --> 01:25:48.833
She was breathing normally.

01:25:49.003 --> 01:25:51.494
It wasn't... it wasn't
like the year before.

01:25:52.757 --> 01:25:54.873
I mean, in retrospect it seems absurd,

01:25:55.051 --> 01:25:58.088
but I looked at her upper lip,
she had blood on it.

01:25:58.263 --> 01:25:59.503
I thought she'd broken a tooth.

01:25:59.597 --> 01:26:01.838
That was the extent of my concern,

01:26:02.892 --> 01:26:03.892
and that's...

01:26:04.519 --> 01:26:06.009
That's really all... all I can...

01:26:06.855 --> 01:26:08.095
That's really all I can say.

01:26:10.567 --> 01:26:11.932
Yeah, but is it the truth?

01:26:12.360 --> 01:26:13.440
Of course.

01:26:13.778 --> 01:26:15.018
But not the whole truth?

01:26:15.613 --> 01:26:18.025
I don't know the whole truth.

01:26:18.283 --> 01:26:20.695
I don't know what happened to her.

01:26:20.910 --> 01:26:22.025
Wish I didn't believe you.

01:26:22.954 --> 01:26:25.434
You know, it's very hard to trust someone
you don't understand.

01:26:28.585 --> 01:26:29.665
You're a very strange man.

01:26:31.880 --> 01:26:33.336
You have no idea.

01:26:42.140 --> 01:26:43.140
Everybody here?

01:26:43.224 --> 01:26:45.385
Peter macintosh is late.
Says he's got bad news.

01:26:47.896 --> 01:26:48.896
There he is.

01:27:02.452 --> 01:27:03.452
Well?

01:27:04.579 --> 01:27:06.069
I found out what the state has.

01:27:06.247 --> 01:27:07.783
Mm-hm. = their Ace in the hole.

01:27:09.167 --> 01:27:10.167
It's you.

01:27:12.462 --> 01:27:13.462
It's me?

01:27:13.838 --> 01:27:17.422
David marriott taped
all his conversations with you.

01:27:17.759 --> 01:27:18.759
Oh, great.

01:27:20.053 --> 01:27:24.262
The scuttlebutt is, if we win the case,
you go to prison.

01:27:25.683 --> 01:27:26.683
What did I say?

01:27:27.769 --> 01:27:30.602
Good ol' corrupt Rhode Island,
I got a friend to get me an excerpt.

01:27:31.105 --> 01:27:32.705
The reason I'm here,

01:27:33.191 --> 01:27:34.601
my affidavit is inaccurate.

01:27:35.610 --> 01:27:37.942
David, this is bad. It looks bad.

01:27:38.196 --> 01:27:39.436
What, you want more money?

01:27:40.240 --> 01:27:41.720
Can you get more?

01:27:42.450 --> 01:27:43.450
Yeah.

01:27:44.619 --> 01:27:46.530
Hey, that is not what I said.

01:27:46.704 --> 01:27:47.443
It's on tape, Alan.

01:27:47.622 --> 01:27:49.622
I don't care if it's on tape,
it's not what I said.

01:27:50.083 --> 01:27:51.323
What do we do? =I don't know.

01:27:55.964 --> 01:27:58.025
I... I'll tell you what we do.
We ignore it, that's what we...

01:27:58.049 --> 01:28:00.085
Alan, with that tape,
it's your whole career.

01:28:02.971 --> 01:28:05.462
I now believe claus is innocent. So.

01:28:05.890 --> 01:28:09.223
We've decided,
no tricks, no technicalities.

01:28:09.394 --> 01:28:10.930
We are going to base our appeal

01:28:11.104 --> 01:28:14.517
directly and explicitly
on claus' innocence.

01:28:14.941 --> 01:28:15.941
That's not proper.

01:28:16.109 --> 01:28:18.350
An appeal has to be
based on judicial error.

01:28:18.611 --> 01:28:20.451
It is. The judge should've
thrown out the case.

01:28:20.488 --> 01:28:22.353
How can you say
there was insufficient evidence

01:28:22.532 --> 01:28:23.692
when a jury convicted him?

01:28:23.866 --> 01:28:26.178
- That's a good point, but...
- But that's what we are saying.

01:28:26.202 --> 01:28:28.409
If the rules don't work, you change them.

01:28:29.205 --> 01:28:31.491
Red auerbach got
the jump ball rule changed

01:28:31.666 --> 01:28:33.076
when the celtics had a short team.

01:28:33.251 --> 01:28:34.991
Uh, but it's dangerous politically, Alan.

01:28:35.169 --> 01:28:37.106
If the judges feel insulted,
then we're gonna find...

01:28:37.130 --> 01:28:40.497
Wait up, here. State supreme court
shouldn't even look at an appeal

01:28:40.675 --> 01:28:41.675
based on new evidence.

01:28:43.511 --> 01:28:46.628
Hey, guys, I'll take care of that, okay?

01:28:46.973 --> 01:28:48.304
You just... you leave it to me.

01:28:50.226 --> 01:28:51.586
Look, I know you're all exhausted.

01:28:52.228 --> 01:28:54.435
We got four days left.

01:28:55.106 --> 01:28:56.937
What we do now
is going to decide this thing.

01:28:57.108 --> 01:28:58.627
Do you wanna win, or not?

01:28:58.651 --> 01:28:59.731
Alan! = what?

01:28:59.902 --> 01:29:01.984
- We've got something.
- We've hit the jackpot.

01:29:02.905 --> 01:29:05.817
Our needles that had
amobarbital and valium...

01:29:05.992 --> 01:29:06.992
But no Insulin...

01:29:07.076 --> 01:29:10.113
Both came back with
false positive readings

01:29:10.330 --> 01:29:11.160
for Insulin.

01:29:11.331 --> 01:29:12.537
Okay.

01:29:12.707 --> 01:29:14.368
One was 93, the other 282.

01:29:14.542 --> 01:29:17.204
We've knocked out every piece
of their medical case.

01:29:20.340 --> 01:29:20.920
Good work, good work.

01:29:21.090 --> 01:29:23.923
Okay, now, now all they've got left
is my neck.

01:29:25.053 --> 01:29:27.294
Anybody know anything
about editing audio tapes?

01:29:37.023 --> 01:29:38.854
Defense! For what, defense!

01:29:39.025 --> 01:29:40.105
- Come on!
- Come on!

01:29:50.411 --> 01:29:51.411
All right, Alan.

01:29:52.538 --> 01:29:53.818
- Come on!
- Hey!

01:29:53.956 --> 01:29:54.956
Hurry up!

01:29:55.583 --> 01:29:57.263
- What's going on?
- Pass it, Alan.

01:29:57.752 --> 01:30:00.118
I got it. Wait a minute.
I got it, I got it.

01:30:00.296 --> 01:30:01.816
- Where's raj?
- He's upstairs.

01:30:02.173 --> 01:30:03.813
- Where you going?
- Alan!

01:30:04.425 --> 01:30:06.882
Raj, raj, I got it.

01:30:07.553 --> 01:30:08.553
I got it.

01:30:08.805 --> 01:30:09.805
Remember Maria?

01:30:10.306 --> 01:30:11.706
She could have said it like this...

01:30:12.225 --> 01:30:13.225
Insulin?

01:30:15.478 --> 01:30:16.968
For what, Insulin?

01:30:18.731 --> 01:30:20.813
My lady is not diabetic.

01:30:21.150 --> 01:30:24.313
You see? "My lady is not diabetic.”

01:30:25.071 --> 01:30:27.778
She is assuming that the bag is sunny's.

01:30:28.324 --> 01:30:30.406
Her first reaction, instantaneous,

01:30:30.576 --> 01:30:32.487
not part of a legal strategy
devised later,

01:30:32.662 --> 01:30:34.072
is that the stuff in the black bag

01:30:34.247 --> 01:30:35.783
belonged to sunny, not claus.

01:30:35.957 --> 01:30:37.277
Who's gonna know better than she?

01:30:37.917 --> 01:30:38.917
Start writing.

01:30:40.294 --> 01:30:43.161
You are not god, you are a prosecutor,

01:30:43.339 --> 01:30:45.671
and Alabama cannot execute
those Johnson kids

01:30:45.842 --> 01:30:47.298
before the supreme court rules!

01:30:47.593 --> 01:30:49.233
That... that's right! You heard me right.

01:30:49.345 --> 01:30:51.256
You've got two hours
to get to Rhode Island.

01:30:51.431 --> 01:30:52.261
You're gonna have to speed.

01:30:52.432 --> 01:30:53.534
You want me to commit a crime?

01:30:53.558 --> 01:30:55.077
Of course not! Because if you do,
they're gonna stop you,

01:30:55.101 --> 01:30:56.453
you're not gonna make the deadline.

01:30:56.477 --> 01:30:59.093
I'm tellin' you right now, buddy,
those kids fry, you're next!

01:30:59.439 --> 01:31:00.269
You forgot your jacket.

01:31:00.440 --> 01:31:01.440
You're damn right!

01:31:02.233 --> 01:31:04.849
Some startling developments
in the Von bulow case.

01:31:05.194 --> 01:31:07.230
Harvard law school
professor Alan Dershowitz

01:31:07.405 --> 01:31:09.942
had been accused of paying
for falsified testimony,

01:31:10.491 --> 01:31:12.527
but those accusations
were discredited today

01:31:12.702 --> 01:31:14.182
by the Rhode Island Attorney General,

01:31:14.495 --> 01:31:16.952
who announced that
David marriott's tape was doctored

01:31:17.373 --> 01:31:19.910
and that marriott
is not a reliable witness.

01:31:20.460 --> 01:31:21.860
So, what was he up to, Alan?

01:31:22.378 --> 01:31:23.584
Who was he working for?

01:31:24.046 --> 01:31:25.046
Damned if I know.

01:31:29.260 --> 01:31:31.020
Hope they don't think
he was working for you.

01:31:31.471 --> 01:31:32.489
Alan, no one's going to think...

01:31:32.513 --> 01:31:34.549
Look, I don't think you did it, okay?

01:31:35.725 --> 01:31:36.931
But at the Chinese restaurant,

01:31:37.560 --> 01:31:38.766
you did duck the big question.

01:31:39.270 --> 01:31:41.056
Chuck is our Alexandra isles expert.

01:31:43.149 --> 01:31:44.685
Sunny's aspirin overdose...

01:31:49.405 --> 01:31:51.862
What happened? Sunny had a headache?

01:31:54.869 --> 01:31:58.612
Headache... was Alexandra, right?

01:32:03.336 --> 01:32:04.336
Let's hear it, claus.

01:32:07.173 --> 01:32:08.834
Alexandra was spiteful.

01:32:10.593 --> 01:32:14.836
On the day of sunny's aspirin overdose,

01:32:15.932 --> 01:32:18.765
she returned some presents I'd given her,

01:32:18.935 --> 01:32:20.675
some photographs...

01:32:21.521 --> 01:32:22.521
Love letters.

01:32:24.440 --> 01:32:26.726
She dropped them off in a shopping bag.

01:32:27.902 --> 01:32:28.902
Did sunny see them?

01:32:30.112 --> 01:32:31.147
Sunny was home.

01:32:32.406 --> 01:32:33.406
I was not.

01:32:34.951 --> 01:32:38.944
Alexandra neglected to address
the package to me.

01:32:39.664 --> 01:32:42.326
I want to be left alone
with all those Beau... beautiful letters.

01:32:43.251 --> 01:32:45.931
What did you do with those letters?
Why did you write those letters?

01:32:48.756 --> 01:32:51.839
There's a big difference
between knowing about an affair

01:32:52.760 --> 01:32:55.672
and having love letters
crammed down your throat.

01:32:57.932 --> 01:33:00.052
It seems that
sunny did care about your affair.

01:33:00.893 --> 01:33:01.893
She cared a lot.

01:33:05.731 --> 01:33:06.731
Why didn't you tell us?

01:33:08.609 --> 01:33:09.724
Everything was open book.

01:33:11.654 --> 01:33:13.315
"Get the best experts.

01:33:13.698 --> 01:33:14.983
I'm not afraid of the truth.”

01:33:20.371 --> 01:33:23.659
Looks to me like Alexandra
tried to force sunny into a suicide.

01:33:26.502 --> 01:33:27.992
Or they plotted it together.

01:33:29.880 --> 01:33:31.620
Either way, he's protecting Alexandra,

01:33:32.341 --> 01:33:33.781
because he's still in love with her.

01:33:33.968 --> 01:33:34.968
And why not?

01:33:35.428 --> 01:33:36.468
I mean, hey, she's a babe.

01:33:39.348 --> 01:33:40.713
"Course I still love her.

01:33:43.728 --> 01:33:44.728
And hate her.

01:33:47.189 --> 01:33:51.102
Alexandra, sunny, Andrea...

01:33:54.363 --> 01:33:55.398
I love them all.

01:34:03.664 --> 01:34:06.371
Being a human being is very literal.

01:34:06.917 --> 01:34:07.917
You're trapped.

01:34:08.294 --> 01:34:10.501
Time moves in only one direction,

01:34:10.880 --> 01:34:11.880
forward.

01:34:12.048 --> 01:34:13.879
It's stupid and boring

01:34:14.050 --> 01:34:15.790
ahd results in a lot of silliness.

01:34:16.135 --> 01:34:18.751
Example, the legal process.

01:34:20.556 --> 01:34:22.046
In this particular case,

01:34:22.224 --> 01:34:25.887
a vast amount of time,
effort, and money was spent

01:34:26.062 --> 01:34:28.394
trying to determine
precisely what happened

01:34:28.564 --> 01:34:30.976
on those two nights so close to Christmas,

01:34:31.317 --> 01:34:36.482
December 26th, 1979, December 20th, 1980.

01:34:38.157 --> 01:34:39.317
Happened right here.

01:34:41.243 --> 01:34:44.326
Even now it all looks the same,

01:34:45.081 --> 01:34:48.414
feels the same, smells the same.

01:34:49.502 --> 01:34:52.915
If you could just go back in time
and take a peek,

01:34:53.506 --> 01:34:54.506
you'd know,

01:34:56.384 --> 01:34:58.500
and all this would be unnecessary.

01:34:58.886 --> 01:34:59.886
All rise!

01:35:04.141 --> 01:35:05.426
Hear ye, hear ye!

01:35:05.601 --> 01:35:08.217
All persons having business
before the supreme court

01:35:08.396 --> 01:35:11.263
holding in Providence within and for
the state of Rhode Island

01:35:11.440 --> 01:35:12.555
may now draw near...

01:35:13.567 --> 01:35:14.567
Then again,

01:35:15.569 --> 01:35:17.480
everyone enjoys a circus.

01:35:18.906 --> 01:35:19.906
Be seated.

01:35:22.785 --> 01:35:24.776
If the appellant is ready,
you may proceed.

01:35:27.039 --> 01:35:27.778
If it please the court,

01:35:27.957 --> 01:35:30.664
oral argument will be made
by out-of-state counsel,

01:35:30.835 --> 01:35:32.826
professor Alan Dershowitz.

01:35:42.638 --> 01:35:43.638
Your honors,

01:35:44.140 --> 01:35:46.472
you may not like claus Von bulow.

01:35:47.309 --> 01:35:49.220
You may think he is guilty of something,

01:35:49.395 --> 01:35:51.807
but I am here to tell you he is innocent.

01:35:52.815 --> 01:35:53.875
Our new evidence will clear...

01:35:53.899 --> 01:35:57.767
Professor, you know there isn't
a single case which allows you

01:35:57.945 --> 01:36:00.357
to introduce new evidence on appeal.

01:36:00.656 --> 01:36:02.396
Well, there is one, your honor,

01:36:03.242 --> 01:36:05.654
and you wrote it. Derek.

01:36:07.246 --> 01:36:08.246
In Derek...

01:36:08.998 --> 01:36:10.863
In Derek, you yourself said

01:36:11.333 --> 01:36:15.167
that a case based on circumstantial theory
rather than fact

01:36:15.588 --> 01:36:16.623
only stands up

01:36:16.797 --> 01:36:19.163
if no other theory makes sense.

01:36:19.592 --> 01:36:22.208
The only way to show a better theory

01:36:22.386 --> 01:36:23.386
is to present it.

01:36:29.518 --> 01:36:31.099
Get on with it, counselor.

01:36:36.734 --> 01:36:38.086
I hope you will have the courage

01:36:38.110 --> 01:36:39.691
to free an innocent man

01:36:39.862 --> 01:36:41.853
and remedy a grave injustice.

01:36:42.448 --> 01:36:43.608
This will never work.

01:36:44.200 --> 01:36:45.565
Too smart for his own good.

01:36:46.660 --> 01:36:48.116
Alan says it will work,

01:36:49.205 --> 01:36:51.321
if the prosecutor takes the bait.

01:36:52.333 --> 01:36:53.333
What do you mean, "bait"?

01:36:54.919 --> 01:36:56.329
Argues the evidence.

01:36:57.546 --> 01:36:58.205
Your honors,

01:36:58.380 --> 01:37:01.042
introduction of new evidence on appeal

01:37:02.510 --> 01:37:05.752
violates every principle of jurisprudence,

01:37:06.180 --> 01:37:07.420
every statute,

01:37:08.182 --> 01:37:10.673
every precedent, every rule of ethics.

01:37:11.060 --> 01:37:12.580
Ah, he's nailing us right off the bat.

01:37:12.728 --> 01:37:14.514
I am not going to stand before you

01:37:14.688 --> 01:37:16.929
and argue Mr. Von bulow's guilt.

01:37:19.777 --> 01:37:20.777
However,

01:37:21.195 --> 01:37:24.187
I have no choice but to address
Mr. Dershowitz' arguments

01:37:24.365 --> 01:37:25.365
one by one.

01:37:26.784 --> 01:37:27.784
- Bingo.
- First,

01:37:28.994 --> 01:37:30.474
the matter of the encrusted needle...

01:37:32.164 --> 01:37:34.780
So? Now it's up to the judges.

01:37:35.543 --> 01:37:36.743
Tell me what you really think.

01:37:36.877 --> 01:37:39.289
I think it's easier to love somebody

01:37:39.463 --> 01:37:40.623
than to live with them.

01:37:42.716 --> 01:37:44.206
Love is fantasy.

01:37:44.593 --> 01:37:46.129
Living is work.

01:37:46.387 --> 01:37:49.299
I'll say. And those people
don't like to work.

01:37:49.807 --> 01:37:52.219
But, if you don't do the work,
the love dies,

01:37:52.560 --> 01:37:54.596
and nobody wants to deal with that one.

01:37:54.895 --> 01:37:55.895
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:37:56.981 --> 01:37:57.981
The love died,

01:37:58.732 --> 01:37:59.972
sunny couldn't accept it...

01:38:01.402 --> 01:38:03.063
So claus tried to kill her?

01:38:03.237 --> 01:38:04.237
Maybe.

01:38:04.572 --> 01:38:05.572
I don't agree.

01:38:06.574 --> 01:38:09.737
Face it, all we had to do
was prove the state made a lousy case.

01:38:10.160 --> 01:38:11.760
We didn't prove that claus was innocent.

01:38:11.996 --> 01:38:14.237
We couldn't. We didn't have to,
and he probably isn't.

01:38:14.415 --> 01:38:15.475
He isn't? You mean, you thi...

01:38:15.499 --> 01:38:17.699
I mean, so,
he didn't inject sunny with Insulin.

01:38:18.127 --> 01:38:20.743
So what? Break it down.
First coma, no problem.

01:38:20.921 --> 01:38:24.004
Even the attending doctor thought
it was caused by hypoglycemia,

01:38:24.174 --> 01:38:25.614
loss of air to the brain, and so on.

01:38:25.843 --> 01:38:28.175
All right. But what about the second coma?

01:38:28.345 --> 01:38:30.506
I mean, why does claus act so guilty?

01:38:30.681 --> 01:38:33.639
Hey, come on, wouldn't any man feel guilty
if his wife was suicidal?

01:38:34.351 --> 01:38:37.514
Yeah, so, so maybe she took
the sleeping pills

01:38:37.688 --> 01:38:39.303
with the intention of killing herself,

01:38:40.024 --> 01:38:44.267
but how did she end up lying
on a marble floor in a freezing bathroom

01:38:44.445 --> 01:38:45.885
with her head under the toilet bowl?

01:38:46.447 --> 01:38:47.447
How about this?

01:39:35.871 --> 01:39:37.452
Sunny wakes up miserable.

01:39:43.128 --> 01:39:44.584
Second marriage is over.

01:39:44.755 --> 01:39:45.915
Children are leaving home.

01:39:47.341 --> 01:39:48.341
What's to live for?

01:42:01.767 --> 01:42:03.257
But when she was found,

01:42:03.435 --> 01:42:05.141
her nightgown was hiked over her waist.

01:42:05.312 --> 01:42:07.724
Exactly. How did it get there?

01:42:09.399 --> 01:42:11.359
Okay, let's say
she's standing at the sink.

01:42:11.902 --> 01:42:12.902
She has to pee.

01:42:13.403 --> 01:42:14.813
At exactly the same instant,

01:42:15.280 --> 01:42:16.280
the drugs hit.

01:42:16.949 --> 01:42:17.984
Body convulses.

01:42:18.408 --> 01:42:19.989
She grabs the nightgown.

01:42:24.915 --> 01:42:25.745
I don't buy that.

01:42:25.916 --> 01:42:27.702
It does seem far-fetched.

01:42:28.377 --> 01:42:29.583
So's the truth sometimes.

01:42:29.753 --> 01:42:32.620
Oh, bull. I think she took
the barbiturates the previous night.

01:42:32.881 --> 01:42:35.418
And, let's say he saw her take them,

01:42:36.176 --> 01:42:39.589
or she told him she was going to
before they fell asleep.

01:42:48.188 --> 01:42:51.146
This time, he wants her to succeed.

01:43:01.368 --> 01:43:02.368
Sunny?

01:43:29.730 --> 01:43:31.810
Maybe there's some way
he can help her along.

01:43:33.192 --> 01:43:36.309
Of course, the open window.

01:43:37.321 --> 01:43:38.811
Zero degrees.

01:43:40.324 --> 01:43:41.655
But somebody might see her there.

01:43:43.243 --> 01:43:46.451
The action of dragging her
would naturally pull up the nightgown.

01:44:16.902 --> 01:44:19.735
In this cold, how long could she survive?

01:44:40.467 --> 01:44:41.798
Remember what sunny said?

01:44:43.136 --> 01:44:44.467
"I would have been better off.

01:44:45.973 --> 01:44:47.338
You would have been better off.”

01:44:52.354 --> 01:44:54.845
Because the law is a blunt instrument.

01:44:55.023 --> 01:44:57.685
It is not a rapier. It is a cudgel.

01:44:58.986 --> 01:45:00.726
Tomorrow, death penalty,

01:45:01.405 --> 01:45:03.085
which reminds me of the comedian who said,

01:45:03.156 --> 01:45:05.272
"ll don't know why
they call it the death penalty.

01:45:05.450 --> 01:45:07.611
That's no penalty.
You're out of the game!"

01:45:16.795 --> 01:45:18.160
- Good news.
- Great news.

01:45:18.505 --> 01:45:19.335
And more good news.

01:45:19.506 --> 01:45:20.506
The decision came down?

01:45:20.799 --> 01:45:21.799
They just announced it.

01:45:21.842 --> 01:45:22.422
Five-zip.

01:45:22.592 --> 01:45:23.592
We murdered them.

01:45:24.553 --> 01:45:25.553
Grounds?

01:45:25.595 --> 01:45:27.031
Well, they got the brillhoffer notes.

01:45:27.055 --> 01:45:28.795
And that silly, silly guilty
man's argument,

01:45:28.974 --> 01:45:29.804
search and seizure.

01:45:29.975 --> 01:45:31.015
Federal or state? = both.

01:45:31.059 --> 01:45:33.499
- That's important.
- Yeah, it's federal, they could appeal it

01:45:33.603 --> 01:45:34.308
in the us supreme court.

01:45:34.479 --> 01:45:36.439
But because it's Rhode Island,
they can't. We win.

01:45:37.733 --> 01:45:40.253
Don"t... don't get too excited
until we see brillhoffer's notes.

01:45:40.444 --> 01:45:41.900
We destroyed their medical case,

01:45:42.154 --> 01:45:44.110
but their witnesses
still carry emotional weight

01:45:44.281 --> 01:45:45.321
if there's a second trial.

01:45:45.741 --> 01:45:46.741
Unless...

01:45:47.534 --> 01:45:49.974
The brillhoffer notes show
that they've changed their stories.

01:45:51.330 --> 01:45:52.330
Good afternoon, sir.

01:45:54.958 --> 01:45:55.958
Let me get that for you.

01:45:56.793 --> 01:45:57.793
Thank you.

01:46:11.475 --> 01:46:12.915
You have brillhoffer's notes?

01:46:13.268 --> 01:46:14.268
Yes.

01:46:14.353 --> 01:46:15.353
Well?

01:46:15.395 --> 01:46:16.435
They're not what we hoped.

01:46:16.605 --> 01:46:17.605
I knew it.

01:46:20.901 --> 01:46:21.901
They're much better.

01:46:24.446 --> 01:46:27.779
No one mentioned seeing Insulin
when they first talked to brillhoffer.

01:46:28.033 --> 01:46:30.524
Plus... Maria told them

01:46:30.952 --> 01:46:32.930
that at Thanksgiving,
when she supposedly saw Insulin

01:46:32.954 --> 01:46:33.659
for the first time,

01:46:33.830 --> 01:46:35.183
she couldn't even read any of the labels.

01:46:35.207 --> 01:46:36.247
They were all scraped off.

01:46:37.918 --> 01:46:38.918
What does this mean?

01:46:39.002 --> 01:46:40.002
It means

01:46:40.462 --> 01:46:41.689
that if there is a second trial,

01:46:41.713 --> 01:46:42.953
we can be reasonably confident

01:46:43.882 --> 01:46:45.838
both the medical case and their withesses

01:46:46.009 --> 01:46:47.340
are now highly suspect.

01:46:47.511 --> 01:46:49.672
Oh, god.

01:46:52.307 --> 01:46:53.307
So...

01:47:10.033 --> 01:47:11.033
Darling...

01:47:11.910 --> 01:47:13.446
This is Alan Dershowitz.

01:47:13.829 --> 01:47:14.944
Yes, I know. Hello.

01:47:15.789 --> 01:47:16.824
Alan tells me...

01:47:17.374 --> 01:47:19.615
Well, things look very hopeful.

01:47:21.336 --> 01:47:22.736
I knew it would come out all right.

01:47:23.255 --> 01:47:24.255
Thank you.

01:47:28.218 --> 01:47:29.458
Yes, Alan, thank you.

01:47:29.636 --> 01:47:31.046
I am eternally grateful.

01:47:31.221 --> 01:47:33.382
Hey, this means
we'll be getting back your bail,

01:47:33.557 --> 01:47:34.672
a million dollars.

01:47:35.392 --> 01:47:37.223
Uh, I know I still owe you, Alan.

01:47:39.187 --> 01:47:40.802
Please send me your bill.

01:47:42.190 --> 01:47:44.146
And maybe when you're in New York,

01:47:44.317 --> 01:47:45.317
uh, we can...

01:47:46.570 --> 01:47:48.401
We can meet for lunch. I'd enjoy that.

01:47:49.573 --> 01:47:50.573
One thing, claus...

01:47:51.366 --> 01:47:53.106
Legally, this was an important victory.

01:47:54.035 --> 01:47:55.696
Morally, you're on your own.

01:48:08.758 --> 01:48:11.716
Claus Von bulow was given a second trial

01:48:12.053 --> 01:48:14.044
and acquitted on both counts.

01:48:16.391 --> 01:48:18.052
This is all you can know...

01:48:19.811 --> 01:48:21.267
All you can be told.

01:48:22.606 --> 01:48:24.142
When you get where I am,

01:48:25.317 --> 01:48:26.397
you will know the rest.

01:48:59.851 --> 01:49:01.307
Two packs of vantage, please.

01:49:09.945 --> 01:49:10.945
Anything else?

01:49:12.531 --> 01:49:13.941
Yes, a vial of Insulin.

01:49:21.414 --> 01:49:22.414
Just kidding.
