<i>This was my body.</i>

0:03:48.353,0:03:51.940
<i>On December 27, 1979,</i>

0:03:52.274,0:03:54.109
<i>I lay in bed all day.</i>

0:03:54.860,0:03:58.030
<i>Whether I was asleep or in a coma</i>

0:03:58.614,0:04:01.074
<i>later became a subject of dispute.</i>

0:04:04.536,0:04:06.622
<i>When my breathing became obstructed...</i>

0:04:06.955,0:04:08.040
Maria!

0:04:08.165,0:04:10.959
<i>...my husband, Claus von Bulow,</i>

0:04:11.627,0:04:14.838
<i>finally did as my maid[br]had been urging all day.</i>

0:04:15.839,0:04:16.965
<i>He summoned a physician.</i>

0:04:17.883,0:04:18.967
Dr. Paultees.

0:04:19.259,0:04:20.594
<i>I stopped breathing.</i>

0:04:21.678,0:04:23.096
<i>My heart stopped beating.</i>

0:04:24.097,0:04:26.934
<i>By this time,[br]I was certainly in a deep coma</i>

0:04:27.768,0:04:30.521
<i>from which I awoke several hours later.</i>

0:04:31.480,0:04:34.566
<i>By the next morning, I was myself again.</i>

0:04:34.733,0:04:36.485
There's no reason for all this fuss.

0:04:37.736,0:04:40.155
I've never felt better in my whole life.

0:04:40.405,0:04:43.534
<i>This first coma aroused suspicion and fear</i>

0:04:43.742,0:04:46.328
<i>in the minds of my personal maid, Maria,</i>

0:04:46.995,0:04:48.330
<i>my son, Alex,</i>

0:04:48.622,0:04:50.332
<i>and my elder daughter, Ala.</i>

0:04:51.166,0:04:52.334
<i>From this time on,</i>

0:04:52.751,0:04:55.003
<i>though they never voiced[br]their suspicions to me,</i>

0:04:55.712,0:04:58.590
<i>they kept a vigilant eye on Claus.</i>

0:04:59.716,0:05:02.719
<i>A year later, just before Christmas,</i>

0:05:03.220,0:05:06.056
<i>their darkest fears seemed justified.</i>

0:05:06.306,0:05:07.599
Has Mummy had breakfast yet?

0:05:08.058,0:05:09.142
No, we haven't seen her.

0:05:25.701,0:05:27.911
<i>My husband did not want[br]our daughter, Cosima,</i>

0:05:28.078,0:05:29.663
<i>to see what he had found,</i>

0:05:29.872,0:05:32.416
<i>so he motioned to his stepson Alex.</i>

0:05:47.055,0:05:48.182
<i>Second coma.</i>

0:05:48.348,0:05:50.684
- Oh, no.[br]<i>- My pulse was 38,</i>

0:05:51.059,0:05:54.646
<i>my temperature, 81.6 degrees.</i>

0:05:57.441,0:05:58.734
Did you call an ambulance?

0:06:01.653,0:06:04.072
Nicholas, would you ask Robert[br]to open the main gates?

0:06:04.198,0:06:05.407
We're expecting an ambulance.

0:06:05.407,0:06:06.491
Mrs. von Bulow...

0:06:06.575,0:06:08.535
Ma'am, send an ambulance immediately.

0:06:08.702,0:06:10.162
It's on Belleview Avenue.

0:06:10.704,0:06:12.706
- Look, bring her something warm.[br]- Thank you.

0:06:12.706,0:06:14.708
Uh, or--or blankets[br]or anything you can find.

0:06:14.750,0:06:17.336
<i>All this activity was pointless.</i>

0:06:19.713,0:06:20.881
We better do an EEG.

0:06:21.048,0:06:22.799
<i>I never woke from this coma,</i>

0:06:23.717,0:06:24.801
<i>and I never will.</i>

0:06:26.678,0:06:29.556
<i>I am what doctors call[br]persistent vegetative,</i>

0:06:30.224,0:06:31.308
<i>a vegetable.</i>

0:06:33.519,0:06:35.062
<i>According to medical experts,</i>

0:06:35.229,0:06:38.232
<i>I could stay like this[br]for a very long time,</i>

0:06:38.941,0:06:42.194
<i>brain-dead, body better than ever.</i>

0:06:44.196,0:06:46.281
<i>Enter Robert Brillhoffer,</i>

0:06:47.115,0:06:49.243
<i>former Manhattan District Attorney.</i>

0:06:50.035,0:06:52.246
<i>My two children from my first marriage,</i>

0:06:52.412,0:06:54.414
<i>Alex and Ala von Auersberg,</i>

0:06:54.915,0:06:58.168
<i>hired Brillhoffer to investigate the case.</i>

0:07:00.045,0:07:03.465
He put a "do not resuscitate" order[br]on her hospital chart.

0:07:03.715,0:07:06.301
<i>They sent Alex and a private investigator</i>

0:07:06.635,0:07:09.304
<i>back to my Newport cottage,[br]Clarendon Court,</i>

0:07:10.055,0:07:11.849
<i>to search for drugs.</i>

0:07:14.768,0:07:16.270
<i>They found plenty</i>

0:07:16.770,0:07:18.438
<i>in Claus' closet.</i>

0:07:19.189,0:07:20.274
<i>On top of that,</i>

0:07:20.607,0:07:21.942
<i>the hospital lab reported</i>

0:07:22.109,0:07:24.111
<i>that my blood insulin on admission</i>

0:07:24.278,0:07:26.363
<i>was 14 times normal,</i>

0:07:27.322,0:07:30.701
<i>a level almost surely caused by injection.</i>

0:07:31.869,0:07:35.289
<i>Insulin injection could[br]readily cause coma...</i>

0:07:36.623,0:07:37.708
<i>or death.</i>

0:07:40.043,0:07:43.380
<i>This encrusted needle[br]tested positive for insulin.</i>

0:07:45.549,0:07:47.384
<i>Alex couldn't wait to get back...</i>

0:07:47.551,0:07:48.218
Let's get out of here.

0:07:48.385,0:07:49.553
<i>...and show Brillhoffer.</i>

0:07:50.888,0:07:52.764
<i>Now they felt they had the murder weapon.</i>

0:07:53.432,0:07:55.684
<i>All they lacked was the motive.</i>

0:07:56.518,0:07:57.352
<i>At that moment,</i>

0:07:57.519,0:07:59.771
<i>my husband was vacationing[br]with his mistress,</i>

0:08:00.189,0:08:04.985
<i>the very beautiful soap opera actress,[br]Alexandra Isles.</i>

0:08:05.277,0:08:05.986
Oh, God.

0:08:06.153,0:08:08.405
<i>Mrs. Isles, a divorc�e,</i>

0:08:08.989,0:08:10.657
<i>was the daughter of an old friend,</i>

0:08:10.824,0:08:12.034
<i>Count Billy Botsky.</i>

0:08:15.954,0:08:18.916
<i>Brillhoffer also discovered that,[br]at my death,</i>

0:08:19.249,0:08:23.086
<i>Claus, whose own net worth[br]was only a million dollars,</i>

0:08:23.420,0:08:26.507
<i>stood to inherit 14 million from me.</i>

0:08:27.508,0:08:29.593
<i>Alexandra later testified</i>

0:08:30.260,0:08:33.972
<i>that Claus showed her[br]a legal analysis of my will.</i>

0:08:35.682,0:08:40.479
<i>On the evidence collected by Alex, Ala,[br]and their lawyer, Brillhoffer,</i>

0:08:40.979,0:08:43.106
<i>my husband was accused of twice trying</i>

0:08:43.273,0:08:45.817
<i>to murder me with injections of insulin.</i>

0:08:46.693,0:08:49.488
<i>On March 16, 1982,</i>

0:08:49.988,0:08:52.366
<i>he was found guilty on both counts.</i>

0:08:52.533,0:08:55.536
...charged the defendant[br]committed on December 27th, 1979...

0:08:55.702,0:08:59.206
<i>Even Alexandra Isles[br]testified against him.</i>

0:08:59.373,0:08:59.998
How do you find?

0:09:00.374,0:09:01.041
Guilty.

0:09:01.208,0:09:02.292
As to count two,

0:09:02.584,0:09:05.671
charge the defendant committed[br]on December 21, 1980,

0:09:06.004,0:09:08.215
the crime of assault[br]with intent to murder,

0:09:08.465,0:09:09.091
how do you find?

0:09:09.258,0:09:09.842
Guilty.

0:09:10.133,0:09:13.971
<i>You are about to see how[br]Claus von Bulow sought to reverse...</i>

0:09:14.596,0:09:17.349
<i>or escape from that jury's verdict.</i>

0:09:19.017,0:09:20.185
<i>You tell me.</i>

0:09:26.942,0:09:28.026
And two!

0:09:28.735,0:09:29.862
Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!

0:09:29.862,0:09:30.696
Taking you downtown!

0:09:30.863,0:09:31.947
Air Dersh!

0:09:33.657,0:09:35.200
Take it in! Take it in! Foul!

0:09:35.742,0:09:38.829
Okay. Here I go.[br]Here I go! Watch the hands!

0:09:38.996,0:09:40.080
Watch the hands!

0:09:46.295,0:09:47.379
Yeah, hello.

0:09:48.755,0:09:49.798
What?

0:09:52.885,0:09:54.511
Oh, shit. Ju--bottom line.

0:09:56.180,0:09:57.222
Oh, shit!

0:10:18.619,0:10:19.703
Hi.

0:10:26.376,0:10:27.294
Let's try that again.

0:10:27.461,0:10:28.879
Hi, Dad.[br]Remember Maggie?

0:10:30.839,0:10:32.132
Hi, Maggie. Hello.

0:10:35.177,0:10:37.888
They're going to fry.[br]The Johnson brothers.

0:10:38.597,0:10:39.681
What?

0:10:41.099,0:10:42.184
But--

0:10:43.602,0:10:45.896
Two black kids broke[br]their father out of prison.

0:10:46.355,0:10:47.731
The father shot two people,

0:10:47.898,0:10:49.566
and the sons are convicted of murder.

0:10:49.566,0:10:51.527
A lawyer prays for an innocent client.

0:10:51.818,0:10:53.987
Finally, finally, I get two.

0:10:54.238,0:10:55.447
Both of them are going to get zapped.

0:10:55.447,0:10:56.323
No more appeals?

0:10:56.490,0:10:58.408
Supreme Court, but this was the best shot.

0:11:01.828,0:11:02.579
It's the press.

0:11:02.746,0:11:04.373
You don't want to talk to the press?

0:11:06.542,0:11:08.210
Dershowitz Psychiatric Institute.

0:11:10.504,0:11:11.588
Yeah, hang on a second.

0:11:12.297,0:11:13.423
Claus von Bulow.

0:11:15.008,0:11:16.093
It's a reporter.

0:11:16.426,0:11:17.511
With an English accent?

0:11:18.929,0:11:20.222
What paper do you represent?

0:11:20.597,0:11:23.559
If I can't save two innocent kids,[br]what's the point?

0:11:23.725,0:11:26.770
- I might as well hang it up.[br]- Yeah. One second, one second, sorry.

0:11:26.770,0:11:28.689
He really seems to think he's von Bulow.

0:11:28.981,0:11:30.399
Hello. This is Alan Dershowitz.

0:11:30.566,0:11:31.942
Who are you? What do you want?

0:11:36.405,0:11:37.489
It's von Bulow.

0:11:38.282,0:11:39.366
Back in business.

0:11:46.456,0:11:47.541
Can I help you, sir?

0:11:47.583,0:11:48.250
Claus von Bulow.

0:11:48.417,0:11:50.210
Elevator's to the left, go right ahead.

0:11:57.801,0:11:58.886
Holy shit.

0:12:07.144,0:12:08.228
Hello?

0:12:14.860,0:12:15.986
Hello?

0:12:17.070,0:12:20.199
Professor Dershowitz, hello, hello.

0:12:21.033,0:12:22.451
How good of you to come.

0:12:23.285,0:12:24.369
Pleasure.

0:12:24.536,0:12:25.621
Won't you sit down?

0:12:33.587,0:12:34.671
Do you play?

0:12:34.755,0:12:35.839
That? No.

0:12:37.508,0:12:39.259
Most people think it's a game of luck.

0:12:40.260,0:12:42.679
Actually, it's largely a matter of nerve.

0:12:47.017,0:12:49.937
Um... nothing, thank you, Charles.

0:12:51.063,0:12:54.233
Why don't we go to Delmonico's[br]and have a proper lunch?

0:12:55.067,0:12:56.151
Whatever.

0:13:00.614,0:13:02.824
I should tell you that[br]I have the greatest respect

0:13:02.908,0:13:05.619
for the intelligence and[br]integrity of the Jewish people.

0:13:09.706,0:13:10.791
When I married Sunny,

0:13:10.832,0:13:13.168
she was the most beautiful divorc�e[br]in the world

0:13:13.502,0:13:14.878
and one of the wealthiest.

0:13:15.504,0:13:18.549
Even so, we never got this table.

0:13:18.966,0:13:20.050
Professor Dershowitz.

0:13:23.762,0:13:24.847
Dr. von Bulow.

0:13:26.056,0:13:28.267
Two injections of insulin,[br]already I'm a doctor.

0:13:29.184,0:13:32.229
No, in America,[br]it's fame rather than class.

0:13:32.688,0:13:35.983
Now, after all this unpleasantness,

0:13:36.149,0:13:38.902
I always get the best table and...

0:13:39.778,0:13:41.321
Speaking of the unpleasantness--

0:13:41.488,0:13:43.824
Oh, yes, I suppose[br]we better discuss your fee.

0:13:45.868,0:13:46.952
Okay.

0:13:47.911,0:13:49.079
It's 300 dollars an hour.

0:13:49.746,0:13:50.831
Good Lord!

0:13:52.249,0:13:54.168
You know, I used to be a lawyer in London.

0:13:54.668,0:13:56.003
That sounds a bit steep.

0:13:56.253,0:13:57.796
It's average for a case like this.

0:13:57.921,0:13:59.590
Besides, I do a lot of pro bono work.

0:14:00.340,0:14:01.425
You would pay for that.

0:14:01.967,0:14:03.802
Plus, I have to pay students, associates--

0:14:03.802,0:14:06.930
Are you saying if I agree to pay 300,

0:14:07.848,0:14:09.266
you will handle my appeal?

0:14:09.433,0:14:10.517
No, not so far.

0:14:10.601,0:14:12.269
It doesn't look like my kind of case.

0:14:14.229,0:14:15.397
I'm not a hired gun.

0:14:16.148,0:14:18.859
I got to feel there's some moral[br]or constitutional issue at stake.

0:14:18.859,0:14:20.903
But I'm absolutely innocent,

0:14:21.570,0:14:24.406
and my civil liberties[br]have been egregiously violated.

0:14:25.490,0:14:27.701
I've got two black kids[br]facing the electric chair

0:14:27.868,0:14:29.494
for a crime they did not commit.

0:14:30.746,0:14:31.914
They are innocent.

0:14:34.249,0:14:36.585
Well, before you assume I'm guilty,

0:14:37.377,0:14:38.504
won't you hear my story?

0:14:38.795,0:14:40.881
Nope. Never let defendants explain.

0:14:41.048,0:14:42.925
Puts most of them in an awkward position.

0:14:43.967,0:14:45.052
How do you mean?

0:14:45.636,0:14:46.720
Lying.

0:14:48.555,0:14:51.058
But I give you my word as a gentleman.

0:14:52.059,0:14:53.393
Oh... well...

0:14:58.899,0:15:02.194
Well, won't you at least read the record[br]and

0:15:02.653,0:15:06.448
see if you can find something... well...

0:15:06.865,0:15:07.950
constitutional?

0:15:11.119,0:15:12.746
You do have one thing in your favor.

0:15:15.624,0:15:16.708
Everybody hates you.

0:15:23.257,0:15:24.341
Well, that's a start.

0:15:25.717,0:15:26.468
Come on, Maxwell!

0:15:26.802,0:15:27.886
Get up! Come on, Max!

0:15:28.720,0:15:30.013
- He was hit! He--[br]- Oh! Hit!

0:15:30.138,0:15:31.223
Yes!

0:15:34.476,0:15:35.561
So what do you think?

0:15:35.811,0:15:37.145
Oh, he did it. He did it.

0:15:37.312,0:15:38.981
Of course he did it. Can we win?

0:15:39.731,0:15:40.816
Hundred to one against.

0:15:40.983,0:15:43.318
The maid.[br]The maid shmeared him on both comas.

0:15:43.485,0:15:45.779
Look at it. At this. It says here...

0:15:46.113,0:15:47.948
After you realized that Mrs. von Bulow

0:15:48.115,0:15:50.492
had not gotten up,[br]what did you do?

0:15:50.659,0:15:51.994
I came downstairs,

0:15:52.995,0:15:55.414
and Mr. von Bulow said that madame

0:15:55.581,0:15:57.082
had a very sore throat,

0:15:57.583,0:15:59.251
<i>and I didn't have to do any work,</i>

0:16:00.085,0:16:02.004
<i>and she was in bed all day.</i>

0:16:13.974,0:16:15.058
What are you doing?

0:16:16.435,0:16:17.728
Did we ring for you?

0:16:25.277,0:16:26.904
She's ice cold.

0:16:27.946,0:16:30.199
Madame! Mrs. von Bulow!

0:16:30.365,0:16:31.450
Leave her alone.

0:16:32.075,0:16:33.160
She's sleeping.

0:16:34.161,0:16:35.412
She was drinking last night.

0:16:35.412,0:16:36.496
We didn't get any rest.

0:16:36.663,0:16:38.207
She's not sleeping.

0:16:39.833,0:16:41.502
She's unconscious.

0:16:42.586,0:16:44.755
- You must call a doctor.[br]- Maria.

0:16:47.549,0:16:48.634
Go on!

0:16:58.602,0:17:00.938
<i>A half hour later, she had not moved.</i>

0:17:01.522,0:17:03.815
<i>I went back and forth all morning.</i>

0:17:04.566,0:17:06.235
...strain over the last several days.

0:17:06.276,0:17:07.819
<i>Finally, mid-afternoon,</i>

0:17:07.986,0:17:10.739
<i>Mr. von Bulow spoke to Dr. Paultees,</i>

0:17:11.490,0:17:13.158
<i>but he lied to doctor.</i>

0:17:13.992,0:17:14.868
Yes, she's sleeping now,

0:17:15.035,0:17:17.329
but she was up earlier this morning[br]to the bathroom

0:17:17.329,0:17:18.413
and had a soft drink.

0:17:18.497,0:17:20.499
So I don't think[br]there's any cause for alarm.

0:17:20.749,0:17:22.376
<i>But she never moved,</i>

0:17:22.835,0:17:23.919
<i>never got up.</i>

0:17:24.795,0:17:27.756
<i>She was lying[br]in the same position all day.</i>

0:17:29.132,0:17:30.676
<i>Later, her heart stops,</i>

0:17:30.843,0:17:33.095
<i>and Dr. Paultees, he comes and saves her.</i>

0:17:34.638,0:17:36.014
<i>After they go to the hospital,</i>

0:17:36.139,0:17:37.474
<i>I'm changing the sheets.</i>

0:17:37.766,0:17:39.434
<i>I find a puddle of urine.</i>

0:17:40.602,0:17:42.271
<i>If madame went to the bathroom,</i>

0:17:42.437,0:17:44.314
<i>she would not have peed in her bed.</i>

0:17:45.065,0:17:45.732
<i>Right.</i>

0:17:45.983,0:17:47.442
<i>Why would Claus lie about that?</i>

0:17:48.193,0:17:51.071
Well, it's suspicious,[br]but hardly criminal.

0:17:51.446,0:17:52.614
How about the second coma?

0:17:52.823,0:17:54.992
Well, Maria wasn't in Newport[br]for that one.

0:17:55.576,0:17:57.286
<i>But shortly before the second coma...</i>

0:17:57.452,0:17:58.620
<i>I'm cleaning up their room</i>

0:17:58.745,0:18:01.290
<i>when I find Mr. von Bulow's[br]white canvas bag</i>

0:18:01.456,0:18:02.541
<i>packed for Newport.</i>

0:18:03.458,0:18:06.295
<i>Inside, there's a little black bag:</i>

0:18:06.962,0:18:10.215
<i>a bottle of insulin,[br]a syringe, and needles.</i>

0:18:10.632,0:18:11.717
Alexander!

0:18:11.758,0:18:12.843
Alexander, come here!

0:18:17.097,0:18:18.182
Insulin.

0:18:19.266,0:18:21.268
For what, insulin?

0:18:21.643,0:18:23.395
My lady is not diabetic.

0:18:28.984,0:18:30.027
<i>Three weeks later,</i>

0:18:30.444,0:18:33.071
<i>Sunny's lying unconscious[br]in a freezing bathroom</i>

0:18:33.238,0:18:35.449
with her nightgown hiked over her waist.

0:18:36.033,0:18:37.075
If I was on that jury,

0:18:37.492,0:18:38.869
I would have voted to convict.

0:18:39.286,0:18:40.579
Then you're taking the case?

0:18:41.747,0:18:43.290
It reminds me of my Hitler dream.

0:18:45.292,0:18:46.126
You know, Hitler calls up.

0:18:46.293,0:18:47.753
He's alive, needs a lawyer.

0:18:48.962,0:18:51.215
I say, "Sure, come on over."

0:18:52.549,0:18:53.634
Then I have to decide.

0:18:54.009,0:18:55.928
Do I take the case or do I kill him?

0:18:56.094,0:18:57.554
You? No question.

0:18:58.180,0:18:59.306
I would take the case.

0:19:00.015,0:19:01.058
Then kill him.

0:19:02.601,0:19:04.937
I'm a maniac.[br]I need someone with your judgment,

0:19:05.103,0:19:08.232
someone to watch what I'm doing,[br]occasionally remind me about the law.

0:19:09.107,0:19:10.526
When can I see the transcripts?

0:19:10.943,0:19:12.861
You're a former prosecutor, conservative.

0:19:13.028,0:19:14.571
We agree on nothing.

0:19:14.780,0:19:16.448
But you're smarter than[br]the Rhode Island DA.

0:19:16.448,0:19:18.617
If I can beat your arguments,[br]I can destroy his.

0:19:19.159,0:19:21.995
Look, Rhode Island is[br]the most corrupt state in the country.

0:19:22.162,0:19:23.205
Everything is political.

0:19:23.330,0:19:24.790
I don't think that way. You do.

0:19:25.123,0:19:28.418
I have to see the big picture.[br]I can't afford to immerse myself in facts,

0:19:28.585,0:19:30.254
but we must know the facts.

0:19:30.629,0:19:31.797
Out of all my ex-students,

0:19:31.964,0:19:34.424
no one can assimilate information[br]as quickly as you two.

0:19:34.925,0:19:36.718
Well, I agree with that assessment.

0:19:42.182,0:19:43.016
You're out of your mind.

0:19:43.183,0:19:44.977
I only have 45 days to file.

0:19:45.269,0:19:46.395
I can't do it without you.

0:19:48.730,0:19:50.315
Look, Sarah,[br]I know you don't want to come back--

0:19:50.315,0:19:51.817
Is this strictly professional?

0:19:56.446,0:19:57.531
Better be.

0:19:58.907,0:19:59.616
That's wonderful.

0:19:59.783,0:20:02.160
Now, I want the best people in the world[br]on our side,

0:20:02.411,0:20:04.037
the most prestigious experts,

0:20:04.329,0:20:06.665
Nobel prize-winning scientists.

0:20:06.999,0:20:08.750
Some of your colleagues[br]at Harvard, perhaps.

0:20:08.750,0:20:10.210
Hey, hey, wa--wait a minute, Claus.

0:20:10.210,0:20:12.129
Look, we got a little problem there, okay?

0:20:12.296,0:20:14.548
People like that, we can't control.

0:20:14.840,0:20:16.466
They'll find one incriminating fact,

0:20:16.466,0:20:17.634
they'll tell the whole world.

0:20:17.634,0:20:18.719
I'm not afraid, Alan.

0:20:19.136,0:20:20.804
Let the chips fall where they may.

0:20:21.513,0:20:23.182
That's what an innocent man would say.

0:20:24.725,0:20:25.851
I know.

0:20:32.566,0:20:33.859
That just came for you, Dad.

0:20:35.944,0:20:38.363
My daughter, Cosima. She never doubted me.

0:20:39.323,0:20:40.699
She loves Alex and Ala dearly,

0:20:40.866,0:20:43.076
and siding with me[br]has cost her their affections.

0:20:47.664,0:20:49.249
I don't know what I would have done.

0:20:54.796,0:20:57.007
Okay, look, I said[br]I didn't want to hear your story,

0:20:57.007,0:20:58.258
but I do need some information.

0:20:58.258,0:20:59.343
'Course.

0:21:00.677,0:21:03.972
Okay, I gather they'll, the older[br]children, deny Sunny had a problem

0:21:04.097,0:21:05.224
with pills and alcohol?

0:21:05.307,0:21:06.892
Spectacular understatement.

0:21:07.226,0:21:08.644
So there must be somebody[br]who saw it, right?

0:21:08.644,0:21:10.604
Some witness, somebody, somewhere?[br]A friend?

0:21:10.687,0:21:12.147
- You want affidavits?[br]- Yes, I do.

0:21:12.147,0:21:12.814
I'll get them.

0:21:13.190,0:21:13.732
You'll get them?

0:21:14.107,0:21:17.361
You should also know, the drugs[br]prescribed for me were taken by Sunny.

0:21:17.528,0:21:18.862
That's a lot of drugs, Claus.

0:21:19.029,0:21:23.033
But the prosecution's allegation[br]that I knew about syringes, injections,

0:21:23.534,0:21:24.701
totally accurate.

0:21:25.744,0:21:29.122
Sunny and I used to give ourselves[br]B-12 injections in the late sixties.

0:21:29.289,0:21:30.165
It was quite the fad in London.

0:21:30.332,0:21:31.708
Can I explain something to you?

0:21:32.084,0:21:33.377
The less I know from you,

0:21:33.710,0:21:34.837
the more options I have.

0:21:35.295,0:21:36.630
When you tell me "the truth,"

0:21:36.672,0:21:39.675
you limit me to a defense that lines up[br]with what you have to say.

0:21:40.217,0:21:42.553
But isn't the truth[br]the simplest way, Alan?

0:21:43.637,0:21:46.557
I mean, why did I stay all day[br]at Sunny's side

0:21:46.723,0:21:48.267
without calling a doctor?

0:21:49.309,0:21:52.145
Because Sunny detested doctors.

0:21:52.563,0:21:54.273
If we called one[br]without her approval,

0:21:54.273,0:21:55.357
she went berserk.

0:21:55.607,0:21:56.483
Once she broke her hip

0:21:56.692,0:21:58.569
and didn't go to hospital[br]for two full days.

0:21:58.569,0:22:00.279
Claus, did you hear what I just said?

0:22:00.654,0:22:02.948
Of course.[br]Did you hear the judge sentenced me?

0:22:03.115,0:22:05.617
Sorry. 30 years is[br]a pretty stiff sentence.

0:22:06.285,0:22:07.703
Twice trying to murder one's wife,

0:22:07.703,0:22:09.204
anything less would be monstrous.

0:22:10.455,0:22:11.957
But for a man like myself,

0:22:13.876,0:22:14.960
who did nothing...

0:22:18.881,0:22:20.132
What I wanted to ask,

0:22:20.799,0:22:22.217
if we lose the appeal,

0:22:23.093,0:22:25.012
will I have the chance later

0:22:25.179,0:22:28.098
to set my affairs in order[br]before I'm incarcerated?

0:22:29.516,0:22:31.768
In Europe, a gentleman[br]is given the opportunity

0:22:31.935,0:22:33.145
to end things properly.

0:22:37.566,0:22:38.650
Come on, Claus.

0:22:38.734,0:22:42.112
We are each the keeper[br]of our own souls, Alan.

0:22:45.574,0:22:46.742
Okay, two big problems.

0:22:47.743,0:22:50.078
The case against him is very strong.

0:22:50.829,0:22:52.122
But probably more important,

0:22:52.247,0:22:54.374
the legal conviction[br]isn't the only conviction

0:22:54.541,0:22:55.626
that we got to reverse.

0:22:56.335,0:22:57.878
The more dangerous conviction

0:22:58.045,0:23:01.215
is the absolute certainty[br]of the American people

0:23:01.381,0:23:02.758
that Claus is guilty.

0:23:02.925,0:23:06.011
Finding grounds for reversal[br]won't be enough here.

0:23:06.553,0:23:10.557
Judges on the Rhode Island Supreme Court[br]will have to go home to their spouses

0:23:10.724,0:23:13.101
and explain why they reversed.

0:23:13.268,0:23:16.522
To get them to do that,[br]we must completely obliterate

0:23:16.688,0:23:19.566
every single aspect of the state's case.

0:23:20.067,0:23:22.778
Destroy both the medical case[br]and their witnesses

0:23:22.945,0:23:26.240
so the judges have[br]no possible way to affirm.

0:23:27.282,0:23:30.118
Total victory,[br]or we are dead in the water.

0:23:30.285,0:23:33.914
Now, I assume that[br]you've all had an opportunity

0:23:34.081,0:23:35.207
to look at the transcripts,

0:23:35.207,0:23:36.667
first impressions, yeah, Minnie?

0:23:36.834,0:23:38.460
I think this whole thing stinks.

0:23:39.294,0:23:41.630
I think Claus von Bulow stinks.

0:23:42.256,0:23:45.425
He's obviously guilty[br]of something pretty despicable.

0:23:45.634,0:23:46.927
And if we free him,

0:23:47.386,0:23:49.221
we become partners in his crime,

0:23:49.388,0:23:51.265
accessories after the fact.

0:23:51.849,0:23:53.183
I'm really shocked,

0:23:53.559,0:23:55.435
with your record[br]defending the poor and oppressed,

0:23:55.435,0:23:56.895
that you've taken this case.

0:24:00.274,0:24:01.942
I won't have anything to do with it,

0:24:03.527,0:24:05.654
and I hope my fellow students[br]won't either.

0:24:06.572,0:24:07.656
Good-bye.

0:24:08.448,0:24:11.285
May I exercise my First Amendment right[br]to free speech?

0:24:15.163,0:24:16.915
If lawyers only defended innocent clients,

0:24:16.915,0:24:19.001
there would be 10 defense[br]lawyers in the entire country,

0:24:19.001,0:24:20.961
and none of you[br]would be able to find a job.

0:24:21.253,0:24:23.505
Why help guilty people get off?

0:24:25.257,0:24:27.551
Oh, you're sure he's guilty,[br]100 percent sure.

0:24:27.843,0:24:30.262
He had a lawyer. He had a trial.

0:24:30.762,0:24:32.097
He was convicted.

0:24:32.514,0:24:34.057
Are you sure he had a fair trial?

0:24:34.683,0:24:35.434
Come on!

0:24:35.601,0:24:38.562
It's the basis of the whole legal system.

0:24:38.937,0:24:41.773
Everyone gets a defense.

0:24:42.524,0:24:44.026
So the system is there

0:24:44.318,0:24:47.154
for the one innocent person[br]who is falsely accused.

0:24:48.906,0:24:49.990
Okay, look.

0:24:51.074,0:24:53.076
Say it's you, okay?

0:24:53.911,0:24:55.037
You decide...

0:24:55.579,0:24:57.122
you decide to get a divorce.

0:24:58.290,0:24:59.958
You're going to divorce your husband.

0:25:00.167,0:25:01.251
A week later,

0:25:01.835,0:25:03.795
you're accused of molesting your son.

0:25:05.005,0:25:06.632
Oh, no, now don't give me that look.

0:25:06.798,0:25:08.467
Stuff like this happens all the time.

0:25:08.842,0:25:10.177
Suddenly, you're alone.

0:25:11.094,0:25:12.179
You're hated.

0:25:12.513,0:25:13.931
It's--it's a nightmare.

0:25:15.057,0:25:18.018
Everyone assumes that you are guilty.

0:25:18.685,0:25:22.189
Even the mailman is beginning to[br]look at you a little--a little funny.

0:25:22.689,0:25:25.025
You only got one person[br]who believes in you.

0:25:25.359,0:25:27.069
There's only one person you can trust,

0:25:29.029,0:25:30.113
your lawyer.

0:25:30.405,0:25:32.032
Yeah. Okay.

0:25:32.658,0:25:34.701
So, someone's got to defend Claus.

0:25:35.244,0:25:36.328
But why you?

0:25:36.370,0:25:37.454
Why us?

0:25:38.830,0:25:40.290
Look, you're my student.

0:25:40.457,0:25:41.333
Y-you have a choice.

0:25:41.500,0:25:43.460
You d--you don't have to do[br]anything you don't want to do.

0:25:43.460,0:25:44.586
That is your choice.

0:25:45.420,0:25:47.005
The reason I take cases,

0:25:47.172,0:25:49.341
and here, I'm unlike most other lawyers

0:25:49.508,0:25:52.135
who are not professors[br]and therefore have to make a living,

0:25:52.427,0:25:55.389
I take cases 'cause I get pissed off,

0:25:56.723,0:25:58.851
and I am pissed off here.

0:25:59.560,0:26:02.479
The family hired a private prosecutor.

0:26:03.689,0:26:04.773
Unacceptable!

0:26:05.023,0:26:07.651
They conducted a private search.

0:26:08.318,0:26:10.195
Now, we let them get away with that,

0:26:10.779,0:26:12.781
rich people won't go to the cops anymore.

0:26:12.948,0:26:14.366
You know what they're gonna do?

0:26:14.449,0:26:17.911
They're going to get their own lawyers[br]to collect evidence.

0:26:18.328,0:26:21.540
And then they are going[br]to choose which evidence

0:26:21.707,0:26:24.042
they feel like passing on to the DA,

0:26:24.376,0:26:27.629
and the next victim[br]isn't going to be rich like von Bulow.

0:26:27.963,0:26:30.132
But it's gonna be[br]some poor schnook in Detroit

0:26:30.382,0:26:34.428
who can't afford[br]or can't find a decent lawyer.

0:26:40.809,0:26:43.187
I think it's a little more complicated

0:26:43.770,0:26:45.856
than your simple moral superiority.

0:26:47.691,0:26:48.775
No?

0:26:49.443,0:26:51.361
I agree von Bulow is guilty,

0:26:51.528,0:26:53.697
but that's the fun,[br]I mean, that's the challenge.

0:26:53.864,0:26:55.365
See, now there is a lawyer.

0:26:57.910,0:26:58.994
What?

0:27:00.621,0:27:01.705
Yeah, okay. Put him on.

0:27:02.956,0:27:05.209
Alan, a rather unsavory character

0:27:05.375,0:27:07.711
called David Marriott contacted me

0:27:08.212,0:27:12.674
claiming to have information about[br]a drug delivery at Clarendon Court.

0:27:13.008,0:27:14.510
Okay. Now, where does he live?

0:27:14.801,0:27:15.511
<i>Somewhere in Wakefield.</i>

0:27:15.677,0:27:17.179
Okay, we--no, we'll get on it.

0:27:18.347,0:27:22.351
Tom, I want you to get[br]a private investigator

0:27:22.518,0:27:25.896
to dig into a David Marriott[br]who lives in Wakefield.

0:27:27.397,0:27:29.316
Okay. How are we going to win this case?

0:27:29.608,0:27:31.318
The judge made lots of mistakes.

0:27:31.485,0:27:33.153
Judges always make mistakes.

0:27:33.320,0:27:34.154
How are we going to win?

0:27:34.321,0:27:35.697
All right, one issue leaps up,

0:27:35.864,0:27:37.241
this lawyer, Brillhoffer,

0:27:37.407,0:27:39.660
<i>interviewed Alex, Maria, everybody.</i>

0:27:39.826,0:27:41.370
<i>He was the first person[br]to hear their stories.</i>

0:27:41.370,0:27:43.205
He took notes and[br]he used those notes at trial

0:27:43.205,0:27:44.623
against a defense witness.

0:27:44.790,0:27:46.667
But the defense never saw the notes.

0:27:46.834,0:27:48.502
The judge wouldn't let us have them.

0:27:48.919,0:27:51.255
This alone seems like sufficient grounds.[br]It's perfect <i>Brady</i>.

0:27:51.255,0:27:51.964
Okay, fine.

0:27:52.172,0:27:53.674
Why don't you draft a letter

0:27:53.841,0:27:55.926
writing to Brillhoffer[br]asking him very nicely

0:27:56.093,0:27:57.344
to send us his notes?

0:27:57.594,0:27:59.596
Yeah, right. He'll fax them right over.

0:28:00.097,0:28:01.181
Yeah, right.

0:28:01.932,0:28:04.101
We could win on this issue alone[br]and he knows it.

0:28:04.184,0:28:05.686
You know it, I know it.

0:28:05.936,0:28:07.437
We'll just make sure he knows it.

0:28:08.021,0:28:10.315
Now... Nancy and Dobbs...

0:28:10.482,0:28:11.024
Yes?

0:28:11.191,0:28:13.235
They're going to attack[br]the medical testimony.

0:28:14.486,0:28:17.281
Our Rhode Island counsel, Peter Macintosh,

0:28:17.698,0:28:20.117
he will analyze the state Supreme Court.

0:28:20.450,0:28:22.953
I think the rest of us[br]should begin dissecting the transcripts,

0:28:22.953,0:28:25.247
errors, inconsistencies, anything unusual.

0:28:25.414,0:28:26.623
Okay, great. Now, remember,

0:28:26.707,0:28:28.333
most cases are won in the field,

0:28:28.500,0:28:29.585
not in court.

0:28:32.129,0:28:33.213
Minnie?

0:28:35.340,0:28:36.967
You want to work with Sarah on this?

0:28:38.177,0:28:39.094
You may learn something.

0:28:39.261,0:28:41.221
- Come on, Minnie.[br]- Come on, Minnie.

0:28:41.763,0:28:42.973
- Minnie![br]- Come on.

0:28:43.223,0:28:44.308
Please?

0:28:44.766,0:28:45.851
Come on.

0:28:47.352,0:28:49.021
'Course I don't trust David Marriott.

0:28:49.062,0:28:50.314
I don't know David Marriott.

0:28:50.522,0:28:51.899
But if he knew Alex von Auersberg--

0:28:51.899,0:28:53.692
You're crazy,[br]I don't know who you think you are.

0:28:53.692,0:28:54.776
You Perry Mason?

0:28:55.527,0:28:57.696
Let our private investigator[br]interview this jerk.

0:28:57.946,0:28:59.156
It's stupid, it's arrogant,

0:28:59.239,0:29:00.324
and it's unprofessional.

0:29:00.407,0:29:02.659
- It's fun.[br]- Fun? This guy is a sleaze.

0:29:03.285,0:29:04.995
You don't know what he's going to try.

0:29:05.162,0:29:06.872
What, is he going to shoot me?

0:29:07.623,0:29:08.832
Come on, I'm from Brooklyn.

0:29:15.339,0:29:18.008
Okay, look, I'll stand by the window[br]every 10 minutes, okay?

0:29:18.675,0:29:20.093
That way you can know I'm safe.

0:29:22.012,0:29:23.347
I had this friend...

0:29:23.680,0:29:24.806
Gilbert Jackson...

0:29:25.599,0:29:26.767
interior decorator.

0:29:27.768,0:29:30.103
Flaming queen, but a very excellent guy.

0:29:32.898,0:29:35.025
He introduced me to Alex von Auersberg.

0:29:36.652,0:29:37.736
You sure it was Alex?

0:29:38.445,0:29:41.198
We had dinner a few times, drinks.

0:29:41.698,0:29:43.867
All I knew, Alex was some rich kid.

0:29:45.202,0:29:46.286
So sometimes,

0:29:46.912,0:29:49.289
this is like, uh, summer of '77,

0:29:50.040,0:29:52.042
I'd motor to Newport for some R and R.

0:29:52.709,0:29:54.586
Gilbert asked me to bring Alex a package.

0:29:56.213,0:29:57.840
I figured interior decoration.

0:29:58.632,0:29:59.716
Maybe drapes.

0:30:00.384,0:30:01.468
Like six times.

0:30:01.760,0:30:02.970
So I'd call Alex.

0:30:03.220,0:30:04.638
How'd you get his phone number?

0:30:05.180,0:30:06.265
From Gilbert.

0:30:06.431,0:30:07.516
You still have it?

0:30:07.975,0:30:09.059
Maybe.

0:30:09.977,0:30:11.061
I'm that kind of guy.

0:30:37.754,0:30:38.839
Here.

0:30:45.179,0:30:46.555
One night I got curious.

0:30:47.848,0:30:49.016
Opened the package.

0:30:50.184,0:30:51.768
Fucking pharmacy, man.

0:30:52.519,0:30:55.355
Needles, syringes, white powder.

0:30:55.689,0:30:57.357
Nice selection of pills.

0:30:57.524,0:30:58.609
Demerol.

0:30:58.942,0:31:00.027
Like a drugstore.

0:31:02.154,0:31:04.740
You delivered drugs six times[br]and didn't know it?

0:31:08.035,0:31:09.119
Stupid, huh?

0:31:10.370,0:31:11.705
Then Gilbert asked me again.

0:31:12.915,0:31:14.374
I couldn't say no, but this time

0:31:14.416,0:31:16.376
I made Alex open the package[br]in front of me.

0:31:17.127,0:31:18.462
<i>Voila.</i>

0:31:20.839,0:31:23.300
I go, "Awful lot of pharmaceuticals[br]for one person."

0:31:24.134,0:31:26.720
He goes, "Oh, I give some to my mom

0:31:26.887,0:31:28.138
to keep her off my back."

0:31:29.973,0:31:32.809
Few weeks later,[br]Gilbert gets mistaken for a softball.

0:31:33.727,0:31:35.312
Two guys bash his head in.

0:31:35.896,0:31:38.315
Alex calls me, totally urinary.

0:31:38.815,0:31:40.275
Will the cops find his phone number

0:31:40.275,0:31:42.319
and fuck up his trust fund or something?

0:31:43.820,0:31:45.155
Well, that's the fat.

0:31:46.657,0:31:47.741
That's the skinny.

0:31:49.034,0:31:50.118
You like it?

0:31:51.745,0:31:54.331
You traffic with drug dealers[br]and drag queens.

0:31:54.498,0:31:55.666
You have a part-time job.

0:31:55.832,0:31:57.543
You ride around in rented limos.

0:31:57.709,0:31:58.919
All in all, I would have to say

0:31:58.919,0:32:00.838
you're probably[br]the least impressive witness

0:32:00.838,0:32:01.922
I've ever seen.

0:32:02.589,0:32:03.674
Wait a minute.

0:32:07.803,0:32:10.180
You think I'm scum, don't you?

0:32:11.265,0:32:13.225
Blow it out your ass.

0:32:14.726,0:32:16.270
You want a witness to back me up?

0:32:16.979,0:32:18.063
I'll get one.

0:32:18.730,0:32:19.815
And, hey,

0:32:20.148,0:32:22.526
maybe I'll see you at the Celtics, huh?

0:32:34.454,0:32:36.331
I am not going to let them execute you.

0:32:36.498,0:32:37.583
You're not going to die.

0:32:38.333,0:32:39.418
Look, Johnny, th--

0:32:40.294,0:32:42.087
Johnny, this is going to be[br]a lot easier on me

0:32:42.087,0:32:44.756
if you don't cry, okay? I--I kn--

0:32:44.923,0:32:46.633
I know your brother's hysterical, I--

0:32:46.967,0:32:49.511
Number o--they always set a date[br]for the execution,

0:32:49.678,0:32:51.054
and they always postpone it...

0:32:51.972,0:32:53.599
He's great when he's like this, huh?

0:32:54.474,0:32:55.267
That's right.

0:32:55.434,0:32:57.686
I just wish he had something left[br]for the people around him.

0:32:57.686,0:32:58.478
What are you talking to me about money?

0:32:58.645,0:33:00.063
Did I ever ask you about money?

0:33:00.355,0:33:02.191
Anyway, it's nice to have you back here.

0:33:04.067,0:33:05.569
Okay. Say hello to your brother.

0:33:06.486,0:33:07.571
Right.

0:33:07.821,0:33:08.906
Okay.

0:33:16.830,0:33:18.540
Okay, who's got what?

0:33:21.293,0:33:23.253
Uh, yeah. Maria's testimony.

0:33:23.545,0:33:26.340
She says Sunny did take Valium[br]prescribed for Claus.

0:33:26.715,0:33:28.133
Okay, score one for von Bulow.

0:33:28.300,0:33:30.636
And this Jamie Smather prescription?

0:33:30.802,0:33:31.678
Who's Jamie Smather?

0:33:31.887,0:33:34.932
Three-hundred-pound redheaded hooker[br]in pigtails and white boots.

0:33:35.098,0:33:37.059
She supplied Claus with Valium.

0:33:37.309,0:33:39.895
He had a gorgeous mistress[br]and he went with an ugly whore?

0:33:40.270,0:33:42.731
You know, there's some things[br]even mistresses won't do.

0:33:45.025,0:33:46.109
Like what?

0:33:46.652,0:33:47.736
I-I'm not telling.

0:33:49.446,0:33:51.698
Anyway, Maria swears

0:33:51.865,0:33:55.077
she first saw this Jamie Smather[br]prescription February 14th,

0:33:55.494,0:33:57.579
and then again February 28th.

0:33:58.080,0:33:58.705
So?

0:33:58.914,0:34:00.832
It wasn't prescribed till the 28th.

0:34:01.208,0:34:03.335
You're not suggesting she's lying?

0:34:03.919,0:34:06.046
Okay, how about Maria's insulin?[br]"For what, insulin"?

0:34:06.046,0:34:07.589
- Anything more on that?[br]- Not yet.

0:34:09.925,0:34:11.385
Something about that bothers me.

0:34:13.762,0:34:14.847
Okay, who's next?

0:34:15.681,0:34:16.849
Brillhoffer wrote back.

0:34:18.350,0:34:19.810
He's very attached to his notes.

0:34:23.272,0:34:24.815
"I am satisfied

0:34:25.607,0:34:27.776
that there is not a scrap of paper[br]in my files

0:34:27.943,0:34:31.071
that might even arguably[br]be viewed as exculpatory."

0:34:31.238,0:34:32.364
English translation?

0:34:32.531,0:34:34.658
He says he doesn't have[br]anything that'd help us.

0:34:37.411,0:34:38.495
You with me?

0:34:38.871,0:34:39.496
Pay dirt.

0:34:39.830,0:34:40.581
What's pay dirt?

0:34:40.747,0:34:41.832
He's a lawyer.

0:34:41.999,0:34:44.501
If he really didn't have anything,[br]he'd give it to us...

0:34:45.002,0:34:45.794
but there's something there

0:34:45.961,0:34:48.046
and he's gonna fight like hell[br]to hold onto it.

0:34:48.463,0:34:49.673
I will bet my fee

0:34:50.132,0:34:51.925
that no one remembered seeing insulin

0:34:52.634,0:34:54.303
until after the lab report came back.

0:34:54.803,0:34:55.971
So... you're suggesting...

0:34:55.971,0:34:57.055
Memory enhancement.

0:34:57.931,0:34:59.141
It might be more than that.

0:34:59.224,0:35:00.309
Possibly.

0:35:02.561,0:35:03.645
A frame-up.

0:35:04.271,0:35:05.439
You mean by the kids?

0:35:05.939,0:35:08.358
Where are you getting all this,[br]from Brillhoffer's letter?

0:35:08.358,0:35:09.443
Pure deduction.

0:35:09.651,0:35:14.323
A good lawyer is part psychiatrist,[br]detective, logician.

0:35:15.073,0:35:15.824
A great lawyer--

0:35:16.033,0:35:17.659
Never would have taken this case.

0:35:19.828,0:35:21.038
If there's nothing more...

0:35:21.872,0:35:23.207
has anybody read this?

0:35:25.375,0:35:27.085
It's an interview with Truman Capote.

0:35:27.753,0:35:29.546
He says when she was 19,

0:35:29.713,0:35:31.173
Sunny von Bulow

0:35:31.340,0:35:33.133
taught him how to inject drugs.

0:35:33.300,0:35:34.384
Let me see that.

0:35:37.137,0:35:40.140
Well, well, well, the famous professor.

0:35:40.307,0:35:42.559
Alan, I'd like to introduce[br]my new girlfriend,

0:35:42.726,0:35:45.896
- Andrea Reynolds.[br]- I'm not his girlfriend, I'm his savior.

0:35:46.063,0:35:46.688
Perfectly true.

0:35:46.855,0:35:49.233
Two days after the trial ended,[br]we fell in love.

0:35:49.483,0:35:53.195
- It was really very, very dramatic.[br]- Yes, Andrea, Andrea, come on.

0:35:54.780,0:35:57.991
Since then, I've devoted my life[br]to clearing his name.

0:35:58.450,0:36:00.619
I made him hire you.

0:36:02.037,0:36:03.789
"Get the Jew," I said.

0:36:05.165,0:36:06.250
Darling...

0:36:07.209,0:36:08.710
Can the Jew get down to business?

0:36:10.212,0:36:11.505
We've got an affidavit.

0:36:12.631,0:36:15.259
A Smythe, Mrs. Ruth Smythe,

0:36:15.926,0:36:18.846
gave us an affidavit[br]corroborating Truman Capote.

0:36:19.429,0:36:20.806
I have affidavits, too.

0:36:23.308,0:36:24.393
Newport people.

0:36:24.518,0:36:26.603
They describe Sunny taking pills,

0:36:26.854,0:36:28.564
getting drunk and falling down...

0:36:28.981,0:36:30.399
bumping into doorways,

0:36:30.607,0:36:32.276
smearing lipstick all over her face.

0:36:32.651,0:36:33.485
Not a very pretty picture.

0:36:33.694,0:36:34.945
She did it, didn't she?

0:36:35.904,0:36:37.656
Don't be a priss.

0:36:38.949,0:36:39.741
Sunny was a lovely woman.

0:36:39.950,0:36:41.034
Spoiled rotten.

0:36:41.869,0:36:42.995
Yes, but lovely.

0:36:43.912,0:36:44.955
Till she drank.

0:36:46.164,0:36:49.126
Two drinks and she became... nasty,

0:36:49.334,0:36:51.712
- irrational.[br]- All women are irrational, darling.

0:36:51.962,0:36:53.213
Did we mention the priest?

0:36:53.463,0:36:57.634
Oh. Marriott apparently[br]confided in a priest

0:36:58.135,0:36:59.678
who's consented to talk to us.

0:37:02.639,0:37:04.474
A Father Capello from Providence.

0:37:06.810,0:37:07.895
Priest?

0:37:08.979,0:37:10.772
Well, a priest is the ideal witness.

0:37:10.939,0:37:12.816
- It's like getting the word of God.[br]- I checked.

0:37:12.816,0:37:14.484
God is unavailable.

0:37:15.652,0:37:16.236
If...

0:37:16.737,0:37:18.322
if the priest comes through

0:37:18.488,0:37:20.866
and we can get documentation[br]on Sunny's drug use,

0:37:21.325,0:37:23.452
then self-injection[br]may be a plausible theory.

0:37:23.702,0:37:25.162
There's no insulin in this case.

0:37:25.412,0:37:26.955
Yeah, but people do use insulin,

0:37:27.456,0:37:29.541
they use it for dieting,[br]it's not a prescription drug.

0:37:29.541,0:37:31.043
Sunny was concerned about her weight.

0:37:31.043,0:37:32.544
Maybe, but believe me, Alan...

0:37:33.378,0:37:34.463
there's no insulin here.

0:37:38.926,0:37:40.010
Really?

0:37:40.802,0:37:41.929
How can you be so sure?

0:37:50.354,0:37:51.438
Do you realize...

0:37:52.564,0:37:55.609
with this case,[br]I'm looking for evidence to exonerate you?

0:37:56.360,0:37:58.820
But at the same time,[br]I'm also wondering...

0:38:00.364,0:38:01.448
what really happened...

0:38:02.115,0:38:03.200
who you are.

0:38:03.700,0:38:04.952
Who would you like me to be?

0:38:09.081,0:38:10.165
Your mother's death...

0:38:10.916,0:38:12.000
what happened?

0:38:13.085,0:38:15.170
I believe she had a heart problem.

0:38:16.171,0:38:16.755
Really?

0:38:17.172,0:38:18.841
The rumor in England is you killed her.

0:38:18.841,0:38:20.217
Hey, wait a minute, Alan.

0:38:20.509,0:38:22.678
Statute of limitations[br]ran out on that years ago.

0:38:22.719,0:38:24.763
There's rumors also that I killed my aunt.

0:38:27.850,0:38:29.518
And that I'm a necrophiliac,

0:38:30.060,0:38:31.770
who injected Sunny with insulin

0:38:31.895,0:38:33.605
so that I could have my way with her.

0:38:35.440,0:38:36.775
Please.

0:38:42.614,0:38:44.533
<i>Did Claus drive me crazy?</i>

0:38:45.784,0:38:47.119
<i>Even I don't know.</i>

0:38:48.412,0:38:52.040
<i>But it's true that I took up to[br]24 laxatives daily,</i>

0:38:52.666,0:38:54.710
<i>popped Aspirin like M&amp;Ms,</i>

0:38:55.294,0:38:57.838
<i>smoked three packs of cigarettes a day,</i>

0:38:58.422,0:39:00.632
<i>had a problem with alcohol,</i>

0:39:01.341,0:39:03.760
<i>took Valium and Seconal frequently,</i>

0:39:03.927,0:39:06.555
<i>and consumed large quantities of sweets</i>

0:39:06.889,0:39:10.058
<i>despite a medical condition, hypoglycemia,</i>

0:39:10.392,0:39:11.768
<i>which made them hazardous.</i>

0:39:13.687,0:39:15.606
<i>As for my state of mind...</i>

0:39:21.695,0:39:25.365
<i>I had not had sex[br]with my husband for years.</i>

0:39:27.409,0:39:28.660
<i>My schedule was...</i>

0:39:29.453,0:39:31.121
<i>I woke at 9:30,</i>

0:39:31.580,0:39:33.874
<i>did a little exercise and shopping,</i>

0:39:34.541,0:39:36.335
<i>and returned to bed at three o'clock</i>

0:39:36.502,0:39:38.253
<i>for the remainder of the afternoon.</i>

0:39:39.505,0:39:41.507
<i>I liked to be in bed.</i>

0:39:42.591,0:39:44.843
<i>I didn't much like anything else.</i>

0:39:51.308,0:39:52.434
Hold on here, will you?

0:40:11.411,0:40:12.079
Come in.

0:40:12.371,0:40:13.455
Alan.

0:40:13.747,0:40:15.499
Welcome to my humble law firm.

0:40:17.042,0:40:18.126
In the kitchen,

0:40:18.669,0:40:20.504
our insulin-on-the-needle team.

0:40:21.213,0:40:23.966
They're cooking up some surprise for us.

0:40:28.887,0:40:30.889
This is our Brillhoffer notes team.

0:40:32.057,0:40:33.225
Mr. von Bulow!

0:40:33.809,0:40:35.435
Where do you keep the paper towels?

0:40:36.478,0:40:37.604
Ask Sarah!

0:40:37.771,0:40:38.856
Sarah used to live here.

0:40:40.899,0:40:41.984
This--

0:40:42.818,0:40:44.111
I guess he was up all night.

0:40:52.327,0:40:53.620
This sort of commune,

0:40:53.912,0:40:55.455
you do it on every case?

0:40:55.622,0:40:56.707
Never before.

0:40:57.082,0:40:59.293
Thirty-eight days to write 100 pages?

0:40:59.835,0:41:00.961
Only way to get it done.

0:41:01.879,0:41:03.380
Here's the black bag team.

0:41:03.672,0:41:04.882
Illegal search teams.

0:41:15.184,0:41:16.810
My son, Elon, lost his room.

0:41:16.977,0:41:18.812
Well, actually, this is, uh,[br]this is another case

0:41:18.812,0:41:19.897
that you're paying for.

0:41:21.523,0:41:22.608
And this is my team.

0:41:23.734,0:41:24.818
You wish.

0:41:25.485,0:41:26.945
I--I can't find the damn thing.

0:41:28.530,0:41:29.615
Hi. I'm Sarah.

0:41:29.907,0:41:31.700
And a very lovely Sarah you are.

0:41:33.202,0:41:34.453
Does that really work?

0:41:34.828,0:41:35.412
Flattery?

0:41:35.871,0:41:36.914
Absolutely.

0:41:39.041,0:41:40.167
Like Chinese food?

0:41:41.835,0:41:43.962
What do you give a wife[br]who has everything?

0:41:46.340,0:41:47.883
An injection of insulin.

0:41:51.470,0:41:53.347
How--Ah, my prawns.

0:41:53.931,0:41:56.934
How can one define a fear of insulin?

0:41:58.352,0:41:59.603
Claus-trophobia.

0:42:05.817,0:42:07.611
Is there anything more you can tell us

0:42:07.736,0:42:09.071
about Alexandra Isles?

0:42:10.239,0:42:11.990
For instance, is it true[br]that she gave you a deadline

0:42:11.990,0:42:13.742
of Christmas 1979 to be together?

0:42:14.451,0:42:15.536
Uh, not really.

0:42:15.786,0:42:18.080
No, she knew I was looking[br]for full-time work.

0:42:18.288,0:42:20.624
I worked for JP Getty in London.

0:42:20.749,0:42:22.626
Alexandra assumed that[br]when you did find a job,

0:42:22.626,0:42:23.752
you'd marry her, correct?

0:42:24.878,0:42:26.129
Oh, she assumed it.

0:42:28.549,0:42:29.508
How about when she testified,

0:42:29.633,0:42:31.885
did you get a sense that[br]she wanted to get back together?

0:42:31.885,0:42:34.555
Very much so.[br]In fact, at the trial, she said...

0:42:34.721,0:42:39.017
I loved him, but I was still caught up[br]in my own anger...

0:42:40.769,0:42:42.729
and I'm sorry I acted that way then.

0:42:43.772,0:42:45.607
I loved him, and I was angry.

0:42:47.150,0:42:49.111
Let me ask you this.[br]Maybe you can't answer.

0:42:49.945,0:42:51.113
Do you still love him?

0:42:53.365,0:42:54.032
I don't know.

0:42:54.324,0:42:55.951
<i>That means yes, doesn't it?</i>

0:42:56.368,0:42:57.452
<i>It would seem so.</i>

0:42:57.744,0:42:58.912
In fact, after the trial,

0:42:59.037,0:43:01.206
she wrote me a letter[br]saying so explicitly.

0:43:02.082,0:43:03.750
A very passionate letter.

0:43:03.959,0:43:05.377
Passionate and...

0:43:05.919,0:43:07.004
jealous.

0:43:08.005,0:43:10.632
But that was the relationship[br]from the outset.

0:43:10.924,0:43:12.467
That was Alexandra.

0:43:12.634,0:43:13.760
She was your love slave.

0:43:23.395,0:43:26.773
Well, I think now[br]I'll have my own individual order

0:43:26.940,0:43:28.233
of ginger prawns.

0:43:30.611,0:43:32.946
- Waiter.[br]- Three weeks before her final coma,

0:43:33.614,0:43:35.115
Sunny overdosed on Aspirin.

0:43:35.949,0:43:37.242
Can you tell us anything about that?

0:43:37.242,0:43:39.703
No one maintained[br]I had anything to do with that, Alan.

0:43:39.703,0:43:40.787
No, of course not.

0:43:41.413,0:43:42.748
I'm asking you what happened.

0:43:43.081,0:43:45.375
Well, Sunny had been unwell.

0:43:52.299,0:43:53.383
Are you all right?

0:43:53.550,0:43:55.427
Oh, just a bit dizzy.

0:43:58.222,0:44:00.140
Well, if you're dizzy, don't go wandering.

0:44:16.448,0:44:17.533
Sunny?

0:44:20.619,0:44:21.662
Oh, my God.

0:44:21.995,0:44:23.080
Come on, my darling.

0:44:23.997,0:44:24.790
Now, you're all right.

0:44:24.998,0:44:26.583
Come on, put your arm around my shoulder.

0:44:26.583,0:44:27.125
There we are.

0:44:27.334,0:44:28.669
Now, you're all right.

0:44:28.919,0:44:31.588
Get you--come on.[br]We'll get you back into bed.

0:44:33.549,0:44:35.259
Something happened to my head.

0:44:35.467,0:44:36.802
- You're all right.[br]- It's cut.

0:44:37.803,0:44:39.555
Just a little cut. It's nothing.

0:44:39.721,0:44:40.806
Come on.

0:44:40.889,0:44:42.349
Let's get you lying down.

0:44:46.603,0:44:47.896
There you are.

0:44:51.900,0:44:52.985
There.

0:44:56.864,0:44:58.115
Shall I call a doctor?

0:44:58.282,0:45:00.242
No! No, I don't want--

0:45:00.450,0:45:01.535
I don't want a doctor.

0:45:01.618,0:45:03.245
Just... don't want a doctor.

0:45:04.371,0:45:06.999
Just want to be left alone.

0:45:08.083,0:45:10.878
Want to be left alone[br]with all those beaut--beautiful letters.

0:45:11.628,0:45:12.796
What did you do with those letters?

0:45:12.796,0:45:14.298
Why did you write those letters?

0:45:14.548,0:45:15.632
And those...

0:45:16.216,0:45:17.759
<i>Later, Dr. Praug said</i>

0:45:17.926,0:45:19.469
we needn't have gone to the hospital,

0:45:19.469,0:45:21.305
but I wasn't going to take any chances.

0:45:21.471,0:45:23.015
Why did she take so much Aspirin?

0:45:23.473,0:45:25.475
Oh, Sunny always took Aspirin.

0:45:25.934,0:45:28.061
She'd been taking a lot for several days.

0:45:28.228,0:45:29.438
That's not what our doctor said.

0:45:29.438,0:45:31.190
Dr. Lucas Lupardus,

0:45:31.481,0:45:34.318
chief forensic toxicologist,[br]Suffolk County,

0:45:34.651,0:45:37.446
says that people who take large[br]amounts of Aspirin every day

0:45:37.613,0:45:38.697
never reach that level.

0:45:39.156,0:45:41.825
He also said the average blood level[br]in cases of death is...

0:45:42.075,0:45:44.203
Sixty. Hers was 90.

0:45:44.703,0:45:45.287
So...

0:45:45.454,0:45:47.998
So it was obviously a suicide attempt.

0:45:49.333,0:45:49.875
Why?

0:45:50.042,0:45:51.460
Yeah, why?

0:45:51.627,0:45:52.169
Why?

0:45:52.503,0:45:55.923
Alan, do they all want to be prosecutors?

0:45:58.675,0:45:59.760
We're waiting.

0:46:03.514,0:46:05.390
Well, I presume she was unhappy.

0:46:12.481,0:46:14.816
How about we all finish up[br]and go back to the house?

0:46:16.610,0:46:19.488
We're not going to win this[br]on a technicality. Peter.

0:46:20.614,0:46:22.574
I've read every case[br]in the last seven years

0:46:22.741,0:46:24.785
where the Rhode Island[br]Supreme Court reversed.

0:46:25.035,0:46:26.411
They don't like to make new law,

0:46:26.411,0:46:28.664
they don't like to discuss[br]broad legal issues.

0:46:28.830,0:46:30.040
When they do reverse,

0:46:30.207,0:46:31.625
the grounds are technical,

0:46:31.792,0:46:33.836
but the reason seems to be

0:46:34.002,0:46:36.672
they suspect a convicted defendant[br]may be innocent.

0:46:37.965,0:46:39.633
Okay, so everybody get that?

0:46:40.551,0:46:43.512
True or not,[br]we've got to convince the judges

0:46:44.555,0:46:45.889
that you are innocent.

0:46:46.807,0:46:49.726
Claus, now I do want to hear[br]your side of the story.

0:46:49.893,0:46:50.978
With pleasure.

0:46:51.687,0:46:53.939
Innocence has always been my position.

0:46:59.319,0:47:01.196
First coma. What preceded it?

0:47:03.657,0:47:05.117
Well, Sunny loved Christmas.

0:47:05.909,0:47:07.744
<i>It was her favorite season, really.</i>

0:47:08.912,0:47:11.915
<i>You see, what you must understand[br]about Sunny</i>

0:47:12.082,0:47:15.127
<i>is that she loved giving[br]more than anything else.</i>

0:47:15.335,0:47:18.922
<i>� Peace on Earth and mercy mild</i>

0:47:19.089,0:47:21.175
<i>� God and sinners reconciled...</i>

0:47:21.341,0:47:24.595
<i>Each year, she always made[br]a big bowl of fresh eggnog.</i>

0:47:25.262,0:47:27.347
<i>Now, that year, she drank a lot of it.</i>

0:47:27.764,0:47:28.849
<i>How much?</i>

0:47:29.016,0:47:31.101
<i>Oh, 10 or 12 glasses.</i>

0:47:32.436,0:47:34.146
<i>With her hypoglycemia?</i>

0:47:35.439,0:47:36.982
<i>She didn't always drink like that?</i>

0:47:37.024,0:47:38.108
<i>Never.</i>

0:47:38.358,0:47:41.778
<i>She never touched alcohol at all[br]except on social occasions</i>

0:47:41.945,0:47:43.447
<i>to overcome her shyness...</i>

0:47:43.906,0:47:45.657
<i>or when she was upset.</i>

0:47:46.867,0:47:49.036
<i>This was not a social occasion.</i>

0:47:49.620,0:47:50.704
<i>No.</i>

0:47:51.872,0:47:54.499
<i>We'd been discussing divorce[br]all afternoon.</i>

0:48:11.725,0:48:13.477
This whole subject of your...

0:48:14.853,0:48:17.189
work... coming between us,

0:48:18.857,0:48:21.985
isn't it just a pretext[br]when the real subject is her?

0:48:22.778,0:48:23.862
Certainly not.

0:48:26.615,0:48:29.826
I'm thinking of redecorating[br]this whole fucking house.

0:48:32.204,0:48:33.789
<i>Then she knew about Alexandra.</i>

0:48:35.624,0:48:36.708
Yes.

0:48:36.917,0:48:38.001
How did she find out?

0:48:40.546,0:48:41.713
I, um...

0:48:42.464,0:48:44.091
I told her the previous summer.

0:48:50.681,0:48:52.641
Ala, can't we find one a bit slower?

0:48:58.814,0:49:00.190
- Ah, that's much better.[br]- Hm.

0:49:01.733,0:49:02.818
- Cooler.[br]- Hm.

0:49:05.988,0:49:07.072
Thank you.

0:49:16.206,0:49:17.791
Oh, I've been meaning to mention...

0:49:18.917,0:49:20.961
our understanding about my...

0:49:23.088,0:49:24.840
extracurricular activities.

0:49:27.176,0:49:29.094
I've been involved with someone who...

0:49:29.678,0:49:32.598
falls outside the parameters[br]of our agreement.

0:49:32.890,0:49:34.057
- Really?[br]- Someone...

0:49:34.391,0:49:35.976
peripherally in our circle.

0:49:38.353,0:49:39.438
Billy Botsky's daughter,

0:49:39.605,0:49:41.064
Alexandra Isles.

0:49:43.692,0:49:44.776
Well.

0:49:48.030,0:49:49.239
That must be better for you

0:49:49.364,0:49:50.991
than what you've had to put up with.

0:49:52.659,0:49:54.411
You're referring to the call girls.

0:49:55.871,0:49:56.955
Yes.

0:49:58.332,0:50:01.627
I mean, that is where[br]you've gone previously, isn't it?

0:50:02.252,0:50:03.337
Yes, it is.

0:50:06.256,0:50:07.341
And isn't this better?

0:50:08.926,0:50:11.470
Or is Billy Botsky's daughter[br]a call girl, too?

0:50:13.430,0:50:14.640
This is much better.

0:50:23.899,0:50:25.400
<i>That was what, July, August?</i>

0:50:25.776,0:50:26.902
Now it's Christmas time,

0:50:27.236,0:50:29.530
and you were[br]still squabbling over Alexandra?

0:50:29.988,0:50:32.115
No. We were fighting about my work.

0:50:32.449,0:50:33.534
Sunny was...

0:50:35.869,0:50:37.704
well, by the evening,

0:50:37.871,0:50:39.206
she'd drunk so much eggnog,

0:50:39.373,0:50:41.250
<i>that I had to help her into the bedroom.</i>

0:50:42.668,0:50:43.752
Alexander.

0:50:45.003,0:50:46.255
Time for bed, darling.

0:50:51.969,0:50:53.053
There we are.

0:50:59.768,0:51:01.687
Please don't hold my arm.

0:51:02.521,0:51:04.439
Darling, you know[br]when you get like this...

0:51:05.190,0:51:06.275
Remember?

0:51:07.985,0:51:09.236
You fell and broke your hip.

0:51:09.444,0:51:11.071
That was years ago.

0:51:13.448,0:51:15.033
It was two years ago.

0:51:36.221,0:51:37.890
Get me a scotch and soda.

0:51:49.276,0:51:51.820
May I at least urinate alone?

0:52:11.590,0:52:13.800
She runs the water[br]every time she goes in there.

0:52:16.428,0:52:18.889
<i>If she was already soused,[br]why'd you go for the scotch?</i>

0:52:18.972,0:52:20.641
Because she asked for it.

0:52:22.392,0:52:24.728
Sunny got what Sunny wanted.

0:52:25.187,0:52:26.271
It's okay.

0:52:56.093,0:52:57.177
Good night, Dad.

0:52:57.761,0:52:58.846
Good night, darling.

0:53:01.014,0:53:02.099
Good night, Claus.

0:53:02.683,0:53:03.767
Good night, Alex.

0:53:17.656,0:53:19.616
Hasn't my mother given us enough money?

0:53:21.743,0:53:22.327
Claus?

0:53:22.619,0:53:24.288
<i>That night, we hardly slept.</i>

0:53:24.663,0:53:27.332
Your age,[br]it's perfectly acceptable to retire.

0:53:28.125,0:53:29.501
I'm already retired.

0:53:30.919,0:53:32.754
I haven't worked full-time since Getty.

0:53:32.921,0:53:34.381
Exactly. It's your ego.

0:53:34.548,0:53:36.258
You've never had a career. Not really.

0:53:37.301,0:53:38.844
Well, I'm going to have one now.

0:53:42.055,0:53:44.474
Oh, come on, Sunny, your father worked.

0:53:46.059,0:53:47.644
Do you want the children to grow up

0:53:47.811,0:53:49.980
thinking a male's place[br]is in a deck chair?

0:53:50.147,0:53:51.648
Claus, you marry me for my money,

0:53:51.648,0:53:52.524
then you demand to work.

0:53:52.691,0:53:54.151
You're the prince of perversion.

0:53:54.651,0:53:56.737
I mean, what? Are you trying[br]to destroy our whole family?

0:53:56.737,0:53:57.654
Oh, no, of course not.

0:53:57.821,0:53:59.907
I--I... I simply want some...

0:54:01.617,0:54:02.993
intercourse with the world.

0:54:03.160,0:54:04.244
Shut up, Pan!

0:54:05.412,0:54:06.496
Oh, what does it matter?

0:54:10.000,0:54:12.377
So Is that it?

0:54:13.795,0:54:14.880
Another divorce?

0:54:17.925,0:54:19.009
Okay.

0:54:19.218,0:54:21.303
I'll divorce you. I will.

0:54:22.387,0:54:23.764
Oh, God...

0:54:24.515,0:54:25.724
Two-time loser.

0:54:27.518,0:54:28.852
I'll divorce everybody.

0:54:29.478,0:54:31.605
I don't want a divorce.

0:54:32.397,0:54:34.942
I don't want to marry[br]Billy Botsky's daughter.

0:54:35.108,0:54:37.027
I want to stay with you[br]and I want to work.

0:54:37.027,0:54:39.488
I need that as a man.

0:54:43.450,0:54:44.535
It's hopeless.

0:54:47.746,0:54:48.830
Oh, God.

0:54:50.415,0:54:51.792
I need my beauty sleep.

0:54:51.959,0:54:55.003
Why do you--why do you believe[br]it's hopeless just because of some...

0:55:35.669,0:55:36.753
Good night, Claus.

0:55:39.089,0:55:40.549
Sunny, you know I love you.

0:55:59.318,0:56:00.402
Good night.

0:56:07.367,0:56:08.452
Okay, and the next day?

0:56:08.785,0:56:09.870
Well...

0:56:11.788,0:56:15.167
Maria's testimony was wildly exaggerated.

0:56:16.752,0:56:18.545
Sunny was never moaning.

0:56:19.630,0:56:21.840
Maybe the occasional snore, but...

0:56:23.759,0:56:26.053
And Maria shook Sunny.

0:56:29.181,0:56:31.808
Nobody ever shook Sunny.

0:56:36.104,0:56:38.148
What happened when[br]she regained consciousness?

0:56:38.607,0:56:39.942
After the first coma,

0:56:40.108,0:56:41.735
well, it was kind of absurd.

0:56:41.902,0:56:43.612
Everybody was angry at me.

0:56:47.658,0:56:49.576
Can't you ever leave me alone?

0:56:53.205,0:56:54.289
Why did you do it?

0:56:55.541,0:56:57.209
I would have been better off.

0:56:58.001,0:56:59.586
You would have been better off.

0:56:59.753,0:57:01.004
What do you want me to say?

0:57:01.421,0:57:03.048
That I'm sorry I saved your life?

0:57:03.215,0:57:04.299
Yes.

0:57:08.846,0:57:09.930
Say it.

0:57:17.855,0:57:19.147
Of course I'm not sorry.

0:57:37.499,0:57:38.584
Wha--

0:57:39.835,0:57:40.919
Claus...

0:57:45.257,0:57:47.384
what am I going to do with myself?

0:57:54.141,0:57:55.434
<i>When I phoned Alexandra,</i>

0:57:55.601,0:57:57.728
to tell her what had happened,[br]she said the same thing,

0:57:57.728,0:57:59.605
she said, "Why did you do it?

0:57:59.771,0:58:01.231
Why did you call the doctor?"

0:58:01.481,0:58:03.567
You telling me she wanted[br]you to let Sunny die?

0:58:04.026,0:58:06.445
No, no, no, no, no.

0:58:06.612,0:58:07.905
It was more...

0:58:08.447,0:58:11.950
"Everybody says Sunny's[br]such an unhappy woman

0:58:12.117,0:58:15.329
and has nothing to live for."

0:58:17.581,0:58:20.125
Well, so much for the first coma.

0:58:21.251,0:58:22.461
The second, of course,

0:58:22.878,0:58:24.588
was much more theatrical.

0:58:25.506,0:58:27.382
Theatrical? What is this, a fucking game?

0:58:28.091,0:58:30.511
This is life and death.[br]Your wife is laying in a coma.

0:58:31.678,0:58:33.847
You don't even make a pretense[br]of caring, do you?

0:58:35.098,0:58:36.391
'Course I care, Alan.

0:58:38.936,0:58:41.063
It's just I don't wear[br]my heart on my sleeve.

0:58:45.776,0:58:47.027
Let's call it a night, okay?

0:58:47.778,0:58:49.112
Okay, guys, so...

0:58:49.947,0:58:51.031
As you wish.

0:58:51.281,0:58:53.033
There were three drugs[br]on the needle, right?

0:58:53.033,0:58:55.369
Amobarbital, Valium, insulin.

0:58:56.995,0:58:58.330
We can't all be you, Alan.

0:59:07.005,0:59:08.131
Shoot! Shoot! All right.

0:59:08.799,0:59:11.260
Okay, get a doctor[br]to prepare five needles,

0:59:11.718,0:59:12.970
one with nothing,

0:59:13.220,0:59:15.722
two with Valium, amobarbital, and insulin,

0:59:15.973,0:59:17.891
two with just Valium and amobarbital.

0:59:18.058,0:59:21.103
We're gonna send them to the same lab[br]that our famous needle went to.

0:59:21.103,0:59:23.230
Let's see if we can get[br]a false positive result.

0:59:23.480,0:59:24.565
If we don't?

0:59:25.524,0:59:26.984
We don't, I clean the latrines.

0:59:27.150,0:59:28.735
Aw, you're not gonna believe this.

0:59:29.403,0:59:30.654
David Marriott wants money.

0:59:30.821,0:59:31.905
Yeah, who doesn't?

0:59:32.614,0:59:34.116
I'm afraid his memory might fade.

0:59:34.157,0:59:35.325
Oh, the hell with him. Forget about him.

0:59:35.325,0:59:36.660
Well, he has lost his crumby job,

0:59:36.660,0:59:39.162
and he is running around[br]trying to find evidence for us.

0:59:40.998,0:59:43.166
Okay, why don't we do what[br]the government does with its witnesses?

0:59:43.166,0:59:44.501
Okay? We'll pay for his time.

0:59:45.043,0:59:46.128
What's his time worth?

0:59:46.336,0:59:48.922
- Buck and a half.[br]- Sarah? Dersh?

0:59:50.007,0:59:51.091
Your team's on.

0:59:51.800,0:59:53.677
Okay.[br]You going to pass to me this game or what?

0:59:53.677,0:59:54.761
No.

0:59:56.763,0:59:58.182
Their private investigator said

0:59:58.348,1:00:00.309
the needle had a small encrustation[br]near the tip.

1:00:00.309,1:00:03.228
Now, doctors tell us this is[br]totally inconsistent with injection.

1:00:03.520,1:00:04.897
Okay, so how did it get there?

1:00:08.483,1:00:10.402
If I inject this needle,

1:00:10.736,1:00:12.821
the skin acts as kind of a swab.

1:00:13.155,1:00:14.406
It cleans the needle off,

1:00:14.740,1:00:17.409
leaving the tip completely free of liquid.

1:00:17.576,1:00:20.746
But if I just dip the needle[br]into the liquid,

1:00:20.913,1:00:21.997
what do you see?

1:00:23.040,1:00:24.124
Dry this out,

1:00:24.374,1:00:25.876
you have an encrustation.

1:00:26.293,1:00:27.377
So it's a frame-up?

1:00:27.920,1:00:29.755
It's Desdemona's handkerchief.

1:00:30.881,1:00:32.633
My stepchildren thought I was guilty,

1:00:32.799,1:00:34.468
didn't feel they had enough evidence,

1:00:34.468,1:00:35.677
and so concocted some.

1:00:36.053,1:00:37.513
This should win us the case, no?

1:00:37.721,1:00:39.932
No. We're maybe halfway home.

1:00:41.350,1:00:42.935
There's still a lot of weird stuff.

1:00:43.852,1:00:44.937
Did you love Sunny?

1:00:45.229,1:00:46.313
I married her.

1:00:47.689,1:00:49.525
Of course I loved her. She was beautiful.

1:00:49.525,1:00:50.609
Rich.

1:00:50.692,1:00:51.777
Why not?

1:00:52.027,1:00:53.904
What I've seen of the rich, you can have.

1:00:54.404,1:00:55.489
I do.

1:01:00.035,1:01:01.119
The black bag,

1:01:01.286,1:01:02.371
was it yours?

1:01:04.623,1:01:06.208
Sunny appropriated it.

1:01:06.834,1:01:08.293
Now, to understand that,

1:01:08.502,1:01:11.255
you must understand[br]that after the first coma,

1:01:11.505,1:01:13.674
<i>she went into a complete rage.</i>

1:01:18.720,1:01:20.389
Where are they? Did you take them?

1:01:20.556,1:01:21.682
Certainly not. Take what?

1:01:21.807,1:01:23.433
My pills, you moron.

1:01:24.518,1:01:25.853
Valium, Seconal...

1:01:27.604,1:01:28.772
you took them, didn't you?

1:01:29.273,1:01:31.567
My dear, I've long since[br]stopped interfering.

1:01:31.733,1:01:33.652
Well, who? My children wouldn't dare--

1:01:35.654,1:01:37.072
Oh, I know who.

1:01:37.239,1:01:38.323
Where are you going?

1:01:51.503,1:01:52.588
Maria!

1:02:02.514,1:02:04.057
<i>She soon found them.</i>

1:02:05.684,1:02:07.561
It's my lovely mother, isn't it?

1:02:07.936,1:02:09.271
She's behind all this.

1:02:10.230,1:02:12.024
She's in cahoots with Maria.

1:02:13.984,1:02:17.988
Well, just because she had all the money

1:02:18.155,1:02:19.907
before I had all the money

1:02:20.073,1:02:22.367
does not mean she's my lord and master.

1:02:22.701,1:02:24.953
'Course not. I am your lord and master.

1:02:26.997,1:02:28.081
Just kidding.

1:02:33.253,1:02:34.963
Maria loves me too much.

1:02:36.298,1:02:37.591
It's unhealthy for her,

1:02:38.342,1:02:40.594
and it's certainly no fun for me.

1:02:45.974,1:02:47.059
There.

1:03:03.033,1:03:05.035
We'll see if that ugly little maid of mine

1:03:05.202,1:03:06.453
can sniff this one out.

1:03:16.421,1:03:18.340
And what are you going[br]to do with all that?

1:03:19.424,1:03:20.592
I'm not going to tell you.

1:03:21.552,1:03:24.054
I assure you,[br]it not gonna be among my affairs.

1:03:26.056,1:03:28.851
<i>Odd she used that word, affairs.</i>

1:03:29.935,1:03:32.187
You realize the prosecution thinks[br]you ground up the drugs

1:03:32.187,1:03:33.438
so you could inject Sunny?

1:03:33.856,1:03:36.650
And frankly, this nose drop business[br]is pretty far-fetched.

1:03:37.401,1:03:39.736
But consider the pattern, Alan.

1:03:40.737,1:03:43.740
It's public record that Sunny used drugs.

1:03:44.116,1:03:46.952
Her behavior here of hiding them in liquid

1:03:47.369,1:03:49.121
so that no one will find them,

1:03:49.746,1:03:52.124
it's your classic alcoholic[br]buying pints of whiskey

1:03:52.291,1:03:53.959
and stashing them all over the house.

1:03:55.377,1:03:56.461
You're right.

1:03:57.588,1:03:58.672
Of course, I mean...

1:03:59.339,1:04:01.592
I mean, you've always[br]been right, haven't you?

1:04:02.926,1:04:05.262
This is the most dangerous case[br]I've ever worked on.

1:04:05.512,1:04:06.722
You find that exhilarating?

1:04:06.889,1:04:07.973
No, I do not.

1:04:09.391,1:04:10.559
I am breaking every rule.

1:04:10.976,1:04:13.312
'Cause the best way to win[br]is to proclaim your innocence,

1:04:13.312,1:04:15.230
and I've never done that for anybody.

1:04:16.148,1:04:18.150
And the problem I got is[br]I see who you are.

1:04:18.567,1:04:19.693
You'd do anything to win.

1:04:20.194,1:04:21.278
So would you.

1:04:21.320,1:04:23.238
Yeah, but you don't trust[br]the legal system.

1:04:24.031,1:04:26.200
You're saying I'd manufacture witnesses?

1:04:27.034,1:04:28.118
Affidavits?

1:04:29.578,1:04:31.830
No, but you would sacrifice me.

1:04:31.997,1:04:33.081
Oh, please, Alan.

1:04:33.248,1:04:36.335
See, the more I believe that[br]you are innocent, the more nervous I am.

1:04:37.544,1:04:39.087
I go out on a limb for you,

1:04:39.588,1:04:41.590
you're proven guilty,[br]I look like an asshole.

1:04:42.257,1:04:45.177
My reputation, my credibility,[br]my career, destroyed.

1:04:46.845,1:04:48.639
That's the risk you're taking, isn't it?

1:04:48.639,1:04:49.723
Yeah, well, fuck you.

1:04:50.599,1:04:51.808
Fuck you, man.

1:05:04.238,1:05:05.864
I'm glad we understand one another.

1:05:09.409,1:05:12.538
<i>It's easy to forget[br]all this is about me...</i>

1:05:13.205,1:05:14.289
<i>lying here.</i>

1:05:15.207,1:05:17.876
<i>To most of you, my name means coma.</i>

1:05:18.377,1:05:21.547
<i>My second marriage means attempted murder.</i>

1:05:22.214,1:05:23.632
<i>Everything that came before,</i>

1:05:23.799,1:05:27.219
<i>everything beautiful,[br]does not exist in the public mind.</i>

1:05:28.053,1:05:30.472
<i>No one thinks of how I loved my children.</i>

1:05:30.973,1:05:32.099
<i>Look at Cosima,</i>

1:05:33.016,1:05:34.101
<i>and Alex, of course,</i>

1:05:34.768,1:05:35.853
<i>and Ala,</i>

1:05:36.019,1:05:38.313
<i>and certainly no one cares about Claus,</i>

1:05:38.814,1:05:40.983
<i>the way he was[br]when I fell in love with him.</i>

1:05:41.817,1:05:43.360
<i>When Claus and I first met,</i>

1:05:43.527,1:05:47.114
<i>I was married to the dashing, young[br]Prince Alfred Eduard Friederich</i>

1:05:47.281,1:05:50.200
<i>Vincenz Martin Maria von Auersberg.</i>

1:05:51.285,1:05:53.537
<i>It was 1964,</i>

1:05:54.538,1:05:56.957
<i>seven years into my first marriage.</i>

1:06:02.713,1:06:04.673
<i>It seems that my first husband,</i>

1:06:04.965,1:06:07.134
<i>Alfie, as he was called,</i>

1:06:07.926,1:06:12.097
<i>had vowed to be unfaithful[br]with every pretty girl in Europe.</i>

1:06:14.266,1:06:16.393
<i>He was having quite a success.</i>

1:06:18.353,1:06:19.438
<i>And so...</i>

1:06:20.480,1:06:23.108
<i>I was unfaithful with Claus.</i>

1:06:34.494,1:06:35.579
Psst!

1:06:41.627,1:06:43.337
<i>Wildly unfaithful.</i>

1:06:45.506,1:06:46.673
<i>Happy memories.</i>

1:06:55.641,1:06:58.143
<i>But it's not the passion I remember most.</i>

1:07:00.062,1:07:01.313
<i>It's the tenderness.</i>

1:07:08.278,1:07:09.571
Good God, what's that?

1:07:10.239,1:07:11.823
There's one of Frank's pets.

1:07:16.453,1:07:18.080
Oh, my God. No, no.

1:07:33.887,1:07:34.972
Come on, silly.

1:07:35.055,1:07:36.974
<i>I never liked people much,</i>

1:07:37.391,1:07:38.517
<i>not as a rule.</i>

1:07:39.059,1:07:39.977
Go ahead, feed him.

1:07:40.143,1:07:42.354
<i>But Claus was somehow different.</i>

1:07:45.315,1:07:47.651
<i>Not a normal person, I guess.</i>

1:07:51.613,1:07:53.156
It's all right. Do it again.

1:07:53.323,1:07:54.408
Give him some more.

1:08:07.880,1:08:10.424
<i>One of those things you never forget.</i>

1:08:12.342,1:08:15.262
<i>Of course, now he lives in my apartment...</i>

1:08:16.263,1:08:17.347
<i>my bedroom...</i>

1:08:18.515,1:08:19.600
<i>my bed.</i>

1:08:20.851,1:08:22.352
<i>Cold, isn't it?</i>

1:08:23.478,1:08:26.607
<i>Cold and brutish and the way of the world.</i>

1:08:28.108,1:08:28.984
<i>Looking at him now,</i>

1:08:29.151,1:08:30.777
<i>the issues seem simple.</i>

1:08:31.862,1:08:33.113
<i>Is he the devil?</i>

1:08:34.072,1:08:37.242
<i>If so, can the devil get justice?</i>

1:08:38.577,1:08:40.746
<i>And all this legal activity...</i>

1:08:42.122,1:08:44.541
<i>is it in Satan's service?</i>

1:08:45.459,1:08:47.794
"Sunny von Bulow was totally vulnerable

1:08:47.961,1:08:49.421
to Claus von Bulow."

1:08:50.589,1:08:51.673
Can't argue with that.

1:08:52.341,1:08:55.135
But it's speculation. Exaggeration.

1:08:55.302,1:08:56.386
You keep working on it.

1:08:56.553,1:08:58.680
Totally inflammatory!

1:09:00.599,1:09:02.267
Okay, good. Let's go over this.

1:09:03.602,1:09:07.105
Okay, we went over it... once,[br]I just wanted you to see if...

1:09:14.905,1:09:17.032
Oh, shit, wha--what is this,[br]illegal search?

1:09:19.826,1:09:20.994
It's a classic technicality.

1:09:20.994,1:09:21.828
It's a guilty man's argument.

1:09:21.995,1:09:23.205
Come on, this is different.

1:09:23.247,1:09:25.582
Usual Fourth Amendment case,[br]you're trying to exclude evidence

1:09:25.582,1:09:26.917
- that's bad for your client.[br]- No, no. No, no.

1:09:26.917,1:09:28.335
Same thing here. Same thing.

1:09:28.502,1:09:30.879
No. This search destroyed evidence.

1:09:31.421,1:09:32.798
No fingerprints, no inventory.

1:09:32.923,1:09:34.967
Yeah, what's left hurts Claus,[br]but under <i>Brady</i>,

1:09:34.967,1:09:36.134
the state has an obligation--

1:09:36.134,1:09:38.262
Wait, wait, wait a second.[br]The cops tested the drugs

1:09:38.262,1:09:39.972
- from the illegal search, right?[br]- Yes, yes.

1:09:39.972,1:09:43.559
And we are saying that that test[br]constituted a second illegal search.

1:09:43.725,1:09:44.476
There are precedents.

1:09:44.643,1:09:46.353
<i>- Walter, Jacobson, Morgan.[br]- I know there are precedents.</i>

1:09:46.353,1:09:48.397
I know the law is on our side.[br]I'm not debating that.

1:09:48.397,1:09:49.064
What I'm trying to do is--

1:09:49.231,1:09:52.150
No. You're debating me personally. Why?

1:09:54.194,1:09:57.030
I'm debating strategy, okay?[br]I'm not--I'm not debating you.

1:09:57.197,1:09:58.031
We're all on the same team.

1:09:58.198,1:09:59.783
A-a-are we on the same team here or not?

1:09:59.783,1:10:01.535
I don't know. We seem to be.

1:10:01.910,1:10:03.328
Well then, why don't I feel it?

1:10:04.037,1:10:05.622
I thought this was strictly professional.

1:10:05.622,1:10:07.291
- It was.[br]- That's bullshit, Alan.

1:10:07.708,1:10:10.210
Look, I brought you--I--I asked you[br]to work on this case

1:10:10.294,1:10:11.628
because I think you are a good lawyer.

1:10:11.628,1:10:14.214
I think you're a fine lawyer, too.[br]You're a great lawyer.

1:10:14.381,1:10:15.924
But you give everything you have[br]to the law,

1:10:15.924,1:10:17.384
and you forget the people you care about.

1:10:17.384,1:10:20.053
My clients are the people[br]that I care about.

1:10:20.220,1:10:20.888
Obviously.

1:10:21.054,1:10:22.639
What I care about, all I care about,

1:10:22.639,1:10:24.933
all I fucking care about is this!

1:10:25.601,1:10:26.810
This case!

1:10:27.227,1:10:30.898
And making--making the best possible[br]appeal we're capable of doing, okay?

1:10:31.356,1:10:33.400
Now, you can make[br]your argument better, Sarah.

1:10:33.400,1:10:35.235
You know that! I know that!

1:10:35.402,1:10:37.946
So why don't you just do it[br]and cut out all the bullshit?

1:10:39.114,1:10:41.533
Wow, you always have to have[br]the last word, don't you?

1:11:13.106,1:11:14.191
What?

1:11:16.693,1:11:17.778
We're going to lose.

1:11:19.029,1:11:21.323
W-why do you think[br]this case fascinates people?

1:11:23.116,1:11:25.994
'Cause one time or other every man[br]is driven crazy by his wife,

1:11:26.203,1:11:27.287
and in his secret heart,

1:11:28.372,1:11:30.707
he wants to do exactly[br]what Claus is accused of,

1:11:31.834,1:11:35.504
kill her in some sly, silent way[br]that can't be detected.

1:11:36.046,1:11:37.798
Claus is a scapegoat.

1:11:38.382,1:11:41.093
Someone has to suffer for the sin[br]that we all want to commit.

1:11:43.887,1:11:46.390
Alan, that's ridiculous.

1:11:48.559,1:11:49.977
It's ridiculous, you're right.

1:11:50.435,1:11:51.603
It's rid--

1:11:54.773,1:11:55.858
What do you got?

1:11:56.191,1:11:59.194
Prosecution's case is based on a theory.

1:12:00.988,1:12:01.864
The needle in the bag,

1:12:02.030,1:12:03.657
plus insulin on the needle,

1:12:04.074,1:12:06.827
- plus insulin in her blood.[br]- Right, right, yeah. Okay, fine.

1:12:07.870,1:12:11.081
In <i>Derek</i>, this Rhode Island Supreme Court,

1:12:11.248,1:12:12.332
these same judges,

1:12:13.000,1:12:16.962
said that in a case based[br]on circumstantial theory,

1:12:18.338,1:12:20.007
the case falls apart

1:12:20.841,1:12:22.926
if any part of the theory is weak.

1:12:24.011,1:12:25.554
If there's a weak link in the chain,

1:12:25.554,1:12:27.139
then you throw the whole chain out?

1:12:27.389,1:12:28.432
Exactly.

1:12:30.434,1:12:31.977
Peter, that's very--that's good.

1:12:32.144,1:12:33.228
That--that's very good.

1:12:37.774,1:12:38.859
Oh, yeah, this is good.

1:12:39.526,1:12:40.694
- Thank you.[br]- Oh, yeah.

1:12:40.944,1:12:42.613
Wait, wait, wait.[br]What do you want me to do now?

1:12:42.613,1:12:43.405
What I want you to do?

1:12:43.572,1:12:46.200
I want you to find as many[br]alternative theories as possible.

1:12:47.618,1:12:50.120
Come on, come on, come on.[br]There's only seven days left.

1:12:54.791,1:12:57.419
Dersh? I'm sorry,[br]but you better come downstairs.

1:12:58.754,1:13:01.215
Hey, Dersh. Sorry to get you out of bed.

1:13:02.758,1:13:04.676
What do you--what do you want, more money?

1:13:04.718,1:13:05.802
Can you get more?

1:13:07.971,1:13:09.598
Can I have a glass of water, please?

1:13:14.061,1:13:15.145
No.

1:13:15.312,1:13:16.396
The reason I'm here,

1:13:16.647,1:13:18.273
my affidavit is inaccurate.

1:13:22.694,1:13:24.738
Great. Just what I need right now.

1:13:26.323,1:13:27.407
- That's swell.[br]- Yeah.

1:13:28.700,1:13:31.328
I left something out,[br]something incredibly important.

1:13:32.871,1:13:36.083
Remember I gave Alex's drugs[br]to a woman at Clarendon Court?

1:13:37.209,1:13:38.293
Yeah. So?

1:13:38.418,1:13:40.963
Well, that bitch was[br]definitely Sunny von Bulow.

1:13:43.006,1:13:44.550
David...

1:13:45.425,1:13:46.510
this, uh...

1:13:47.511,1:13:48.804
this is bad. It looks bad.

1:13:49.179,1:13:52.182
I've met with you, what,[br]five times now? All of a sudden--

1:13:52.349,1:13:53.725
No, it's not sudden.

1:13:54.643,1:13:56.645
I think I always knew,[br]but I became convinced

1:13:56.770,1:13:58.313
by staring at pictures of her.

1:14:02.317,1:14:04.820
Well, we can't use your affidavit[br]unless it's truthful.

1:14:05.404,1:14:06.446
Are you sure this time?

1:14:06.655,1:14:07.739
I swear...

1:14:08.490,1:14:10.492
on the body and soul of my mother.

1:14:12.077,1:14:13.161
Poor woman.

1:14:16.248,1:14:17.916
Put in this change and make him go over

1:14:17.916,1:14:19.209
every word of the affidavit.

1:14:22.087,1:14:23.255
can I use your men's room?

1:14:34.808,1:14:35.893
<i>More money?</i>

1:14:35.976,1:14:37.060
<i>Can you get more?</i>

1:14:43.233,1:14:45.235
But if Claus had injected her,

1:14:45.444,1:14:47.321
he'd have thrown away the needle, right?

1:14:47.487,1:14:49.573
Sure. If he threw away the insulin,

1:14:50.449,1:14:51.533
why keep the needle?

1:14:51.658,1:14:53.577
Hey, Claus is strange,[br]but he ain't stupid.

1:14:54.536,1:14:55.662
He is arrogant.

1:14:56.163,1:14:56.997
Is that a crime?

1:14:57.164,1:14:58.248
Sometimes.

1:14:58.707,1:15:00.626
Why are we even discussing this?

1:15:00.792,1:15:02.753
It's obvious. The kids framed him.

1:15:02.878,1:15:04.963
Whoa, you changed your tune.

1:15:08.258,1:15:10.302
A frame-up doesn't mean he's innocent.

1:15:11.178,1:15:13.096
The kids could have framed a guilty man.

1:15:14.431,1:15:15.516
Dersh!

1:15:15.599,1:15:16.683
Telephone!

1:15:20.270,1:15:21.438
It's Peter Macintosh.

1:15:22.648,1:15:23.732
Yeah?

1:15:29.363,1:15:30.447
You know what it is?

1:15:33.450,1:15:34.535
Okay.

1:15:39.039,1:15:41.250
Word in Rhode Island[br]is that the state can't lose.

1:15:41.625,1:15:43.085
They got an ace up their sleeve.

1:15:44.127,1:15:45.212
What is it?

1:15:48.090,1:15:49.466
He's going to try to find out.

1:15:52.219,1:15:53.303
All right, my friend...

1:15:53.637,1:15:54.721
Friend? I like that.

1:15:54.888,1:15:55.931
Nothing personal.

1:15:56.807,1:15:58.642
Okay, no students, no witnesses.

1:15:59.101,1:16:00.352
Second coma. Let's hear it.

1:16:01.270,1:16:02.396
Well, Alan,

1:16:02.688,1:16:04.982
strange as it may seem now in retrospect--

1:16:05.148,1:16:06.233
Claus, cut the bullshit.

1:16:06.316,1:16:07.860
December 20, 1980.

1:16:11.029,1:16:12.239
Sunny was unwell.

1:16:12.614,1:16:15.742
<i>We'd been arguing all afternoon.</i>

1:16:16.493,1:16:19.580
<i>I'd at last been offered a new position[br]in the oil business,</i>

1:16:19.746,1:16:22.207
<i>which would have meant[br]my spending some time in Europe.</i>

1:16:26.962,1:16:28.922
<i>Well, the discussion must have escalated,</i>

1:16:29.089,1:16:31.133
<i>because I went to talk to the children.</i>

1:16:33.468,1:16:36.680
<i>This cargo will bring 50,000 gold florins</i>

1:16:36.889,1:16:38.307
<i>from any rebels worth the name.</i>

1:16:38.473,1:16:39.808
<i>50,000 florins?</i>

1:16:40.017,1:16:41.685
<i>That's a pretty good take.</i>

1:16:41.935,1:16:43.103
<i>Let's put it to the vote.</i>

1:16:43.103,1:16:44.271
<i>All those in favor--</i>

1:16:44.438,1:16:46.857
<i>If you'll forgive[br]my interrupting, skipper,</i>

1:16:47.149,1:16:48.859
<i>I'd like to think before I...</i>

1:16:51.695,1:16:54.698
I... I've something to tell you both.

1:16:55.032,1:16:57.826
<i>We're heading for[br]the biggest and the best pirate days ever!</i>

1:16:58.202,1:16:59.995
I...

1:17:04.208,1:17:05.292
It looks as if...

1:17:06.710,1:17:07.878
as though...

1:17:08.378,1:17:10.589
Mummy and I are going to have to split up,

1:17:12.382,1:17:15.177
because my work is something[br]she just cannot tolerate.

1:17:15.511,1:17:17.221
Mummy says things like that.

1:17:18.639,1:17:19.973
She always gets over it.

1:17:20.682,1:17:23.227
Yes, but this has been[br]going on for too long.

1:17:31.401,1:17:33.946
I'm going to Europe for a few months[br]in the new year,

1:17:36.073,1:17:37.866
and this will probably lead to a split.

1:17:40.077,1:17:41.662
It's all right. She'll get over it.

1:17:45.290,1:17:48.001
Yeah, well, Alexander says[br]that conversation happened the next day.

1:17:48.001,1:17:49.628
Can you imagine anything more absurd

1:17:49.837,1:17:52.005
than announcing your intention[br]to divorce a woman

1:17:52.047,1:17:53.841
who's just fallen into a coma?

1:17:54.716,1:17:58.262
<i>No. That evening,[br]everything seemed normal enough.</i>

1:17:59.805,1:18:00.931
<i>Not cheerful,</i>

1:18:01.890,1:18:04.518
<i>but then, we didn't usually[br]giggle at mealtimes.</i>

1:18:05.686,1:18:08.355
<i>Despite her doctor's warnings[br]about sweets,</i>

1:18:08.564,1:18:11.525
<i>the only thing Sunny consumed[br]was a sundae.</i>

1:18:23.328,1:18:26.373
<i>After supper, I went to finish off[br]some work in my study.</i>

1:18:27.457,1:18:28.375
Well, what should we all do?

1:18:28.542,1:18:30.919
<i>The others decided to chat[br]in the living room.</i>

1:18:32.129,1:18:33.714
Ah, that would be lovely, but...

1:18:34.423,1:18:37.259
first I need to go to my--[br]to my room for just a minute.

1:18:51.732,1:18:53.942
<i>After about an hour, I dropped in on them.</i>

1:18:58.780,1:19:00.449
Darling, would you care for anything?

1:19:04.912,1:19:07.164
if there's some...

1:19:08.373,1:19:09.791
Chicken Bullion left.

1:19:14.129,1:19:15.214
I'll look.

1:19:30.521,1:19:31.605
There you are, darling.

1:19:41.990,1:19:43.075
Thank you.

1:19:51.208,1:19:53.544
How is your work... coming?

1:19:53.669,1:19:54.753
I'm totally flummoxed.

1:19:54.837,1:19:56.797
I can't get the figures to make any sense.

1:20:00.300,1:20:02.010
Why don't you call your friend Deborah?

1:20:03.428,1:20:05.055
I doubt she'd be in Saturday night.

1:20:09.935,1:20:13.355
So, Deborah, I think you'll agree,[br]that's 728... right, now.

1:20:13.939,1:20:15.023
<i>But Deborah was home,</i>

1:20:15.190,1:20:17.609
and we did talk for some time until...

1:20:19.069,1:20:19.945
- Claus.[br]- Hold on.

1:20:20.112,1:20:21.446
Come quick. Mummy's not well.

1:20:22.114,1:20:24.575
Deborah, can I call you back[br]in the morning? Thanks.

1:20:24.950,1:20:28.036
Her voice got very weak and[br]she almost fell down. I had to help her.

1:20:39.089,1:20:40.591
Somebody open a window.

1:20:44.261,1:20:46.180
I find the chill reassuring.

1:20:51.143,1:20:52.686
Now I must speak with Claus.

1:20:52.853,1:20:53.937
- Night, Mummy.[br]- Night.

1:20:59.443,1:21:00.527
Good night, darling.

1:21:03.363,1:21:04.448
Good night, Alex.

1:21:05.157,1:21:06.241
She'll be all right.

1:21:16.043,1:21:18.170
That is, if Claus has time to talk.

1:21:19.004,1:21:19.796
Or are you going to work

1:21:19.963,1:21:22.216
every spare moment[br]right through Christmas?

1:21:26.011,1:21:27.846
Is your work really so fascinating,

1:21:28.514,1:21:29.848
or are you trying to drive me away?

1:21:29.848,1:21:31.975
Because if you are,[br]it's succeeding beautifully,

1:21:32.059,1:21:33.227
because I don't want this.

1:21:34.269,1:21:35.521
I didn't marry you for this.

1:21:36.522,1:21:37.648
I could have had anybody.

1:21:37.940,1:21:39.483
With my money? Anybody.

1:21:41.068,1:21:42.152
Well?

1:21:43.237,1:21:44.321
Say something!

1:21:46.698,1:21:47.783
Do something!

1:21:49.034,1:21:50.118
Be a man!

1:21:52.037,1:21:53.413
I already have a butler.

1:21:58.460,1:21:59.545
Do something!

1:22:00.712,1:22:03.090
I don't want this! I don't!

1:22:03.298,1:22:04.466
I don't want this!

1:22:05.425,1:22:06.510
Please! I don't--

1:22:06.718,1:22:08.053
I don't want th...

1:22:09.972,1:22:12.391
<i>The same conversation[br]as the previous year,</i>

1:22:12.850,1:22:14.810
<i>only this time with greater venom.</i>

1:22:14.977,1:22:16.436
You've always been afraid of me.

1:22:16.812,1:22:18.146
It's not because of my money.

1:22:18.647,1:22:20.440
It's basically because you're a coward.

1:22:21.525,1:22:23.569
Because your pitiful masculinity[br]is so fragile

1:22:23.735,1:22:25.821
you can't stand the idea of confrontation,

1:22:25.946,1:22:28.323
so you go off with Miss Botsky--

1:22:28.490,1:22:29.575
Good night.

1:22:47.676,1:22:50.387
<i>As was usual,[br]I was awakened before dawn.</i>

1:22:56.685,1:22:58.979
<i>I let the dogs out, as was customary.</i>

1:23:04.067,1:23:05.485
<i>I went back through the bedroom</i>

1:23:05.527,1:23:08.363
<i>to my study as quietly as possible.</i>

1:23:14.119,1:23:16.538
<i>I did not notice if my wife was in bed.</i>

1:23:16.872,1:23:20.209
<i>I did not notice if the light was on[br]under the bathroom door.</i>

1:23:20.751,1:23:23.462
<i>Had it been on,[br]I wouldn't have given it a thought.</i>

1:23:24.338,1:23:26.840
<i>I did my exercises, showered,</i>

1:23:27.132,1:23:29.009
<i>and then I called Deborah Knowles.</i>

1:23:29.510,1:23:31.970
Well, I mean,[br]it's stable and it's profitable.

1:23:33.263,1:23:34.723
<i>Can anyone really believe,</i>

1:23:34.848,1:23:37.059
<i>if I was trying to murder my wife,</i>

1:23:37.226,1:23:40.812
<i>that I would spend an hour[br]going over a tedious set of figures?</i>

1:23:42.481,1:23:44.816
<i>After the call, I passed[br]through the bedroom again.</i>

1:23:44.983,1:23:46.193
<i>I remember it was freezing.</i>

1:23:46.735,1:23:49.154
<i>By this time,[br]Sunny was certainly not in bed,</i>

1:23:49.738,1:23:51.907
<i>and I heard water running in the bathroom.</i>

1:23:55.452,1:23:58.413
<i>I had breakfast, walked the dogs,</i>

1:23:58.997,1:24:00.082
<i>and on my return,</i>

1:24:00.290,1:24:02.251
<i>asked the children where Mummy was.</i>

1:24:03.544,1:24:04.795
Has Mummy had breakfast yet?

1:24:06.004,1:24:07.089
We haven't seen her.

1:24:11.844,1:24:12.928
Sunny?

1:24:14.930,1:24:17.015
<i>Her bathroom was her private sanctuary.</i>

1:24:17.432,1:24:20.185
<i>No one entered it,[br]except the maid, of course,</i>

1:24:20.352,1:24:21.436
<i>to clean up.</i>

1:24:22.354,1:24:25.274
<i>Sometimes she stayed there for hours,[br]or so it seemed.</i>

1:24:25.816,1:24:29.444
<i>One can only speculate what goes on[br]behind a closed door.</i>

1:24:29.695,1:24:30.946
Sunny, are you there?

1:24:32.656,1:24:34.533
<i>I hesitated even to knock.</i>

1:24:37.578,1:24:38.662
Darling?

1:24:55.012,1:24:56.096
Sunny?

1:24:58.557,1:24:59.683
Oh, God.

1:25:01.310,1:25:03.353
<i>Once I'd ascertained she was breathing,</i>

1:25:03.478,1:25:05.355
<i>I went to fetch Alexander.</i>

1:25:06.273,1:25:07.733
Why not call an ambulance first?

1:25:08.150,1:25:10.319
Panic, Alan, panic.

1:25:10.736,1:25:11.820
I mean, I--I...

1:25:12.821,1:25:15.073
I--I needed to talk to somebody. There--

1:25:16.116,1:25:17.701
There was no--I wasn't worried that--

1:25:17.701,1:25:19.286
she was breathing normally.

1:25:19.453,1:25:21.955
It wasn't--It wasn't like the year before.

1:25:23.165,1:25:25.292
I mean, in retrospect it seems absurd,

1:25:25.501,1:25:28.504
but I looked at her upper lip,[br]she had blood on it.

1:25:28.712,1:25:30.047
I thought she'd broken a tooth.

1:25:30.047,1:25:32.299
That was the extent of my concern,

1:25:33.342,1:25:34.426
and that's...

1:25:34.968,1:25:36.470
that's really all--all I can...

1:25:37.304,1:25:38.555
that's really all I can say.

1:25:40.974,1:25:42.392
Yeah, but is it the truth?

1:25:42.809,1:25:43.894
Of course.

1:25:44.228,1:25:45.354
But not the whole truth?

1:25:46.063,1:25:48.482
I don't know the whole truth.

1:25:48.732,1:25:51.151
I don't know what happened to her.

1:25:51.318,1:25:52.486
Wish I didn't believe you.

1:25:53.403,1:25:56.198
You know, it's very hard to trust someone[br]you don't understand.

1:25:59.034,1:26:00.202
You're a very strange man.

1:26:02.329,1:26:03.789
You have no idea.

1:26:12.589,1:26:13.507
Everybody here?

1:26:13.674,1:26:15.843
Peter Macintosh is late.[br]Says he's got bad news.

1:26:18.345,1:26:19.429
There he is.

1:26:32.901,1:26:33.986
Well?

1:26:35.028,1:26:36.530
I found out what the state has.

1:26:36.697,1:26:38.240
- Mm-hm.[br]- Their ace in the hole.

1:26:39.616,1:26:40.701
It's you.

1:26:42.911,1:26:43.996
It's me?

1:26:44.288,1:26:47.875
David Marriott taped[br]all his conversations with you.

1:26:48.208,1:26:49.293
Oh, great.

1:26:50.502,1:26:54.715
The scuttlebutt is, if we win the case,[br]you go to prison.

1:26:56.091,1:26:57.217
What did I say?

1:26:58.177,1:27:01.180
Good ol' corrupt Rhode Island,[br]I got a friend to get me an excerpt.

1:27:01.555,1:27:02.639
<i>The reason I'm here,</i>

1:27:03.640,1:27:05.058
<i>my affidavit is inaccurate.</i>

1:27:06.059,1:27:08.395
<i>David, this is bad. It looks bad.</i>

1:27:08.604,1:27:09.897
<i>What, you want more money?</i>

1:27:10.647,1:27:11.732
<i>Can you get more?</i>

1:27:12.900,1:27:13.984
<i>Yeah.</i>

1:27:15.068,1:27:16.945
Hey, that is not what I said.

1:27:17.154,1:27:17.863
It's on tape, Alan.

1:27:18.071,1:27:20.324
I don't care if it's on tape,[br]it's not what I said.

1:27:20.532,1:27:21.950
- What do we do?[br]- I don't know.

1:27:26.413,1:27:28.498
I--I'll tell you what we do.[br]We ignore it, that's what we--

1:27:28.498,1:27:30.501
Alan, with that tape,[br]it's your whole career.

1:27:33.420,1:27:35.923
I now believe Claus is innocent. So.

1:27:36.340,1:27:39.676
We've decided,[br]no tricks, no technicalities.

1:27:39.801,1:27:41.386
We are going to base our appeal

1:27:41.553,1:27:44.973
directly and explicitly[br]on Claus' innocence.

1:27:45.390,1:27:46.475
That's not proper.

1:27:46.558,1:27:48.810
An appeal has to be[br]based on judicial error.

1:27:49.061,1:27:50.938
It is. The judge should've[br]thrown out the case.

1:27:50.938,1:27:52.981
How can you say[br]there was insufficient evidence

1:27:52.981,1:27:54.149
when a jury convicted him?

1:27:54.316,1:27:56.652
- That's a good point, but--[br]- But that's what we are saying.

1:27:56.652,1:27:58.862
If the rules don't work, you change them.

1:27:59.613,1:28:01.949
Red Auerbach got[br]the jump ball rule changed

1:28:02.115,1:28:03.659
when the Celtics had a short team.

1:28:03.700,1:28:05.577
Uh, but it's dangerous politically, Alan.

1:28:05.619,1:28:07.579
If the judges feel insulted,[br]then we're gonna find--

1:28:07.579,1:28:10.958
Wait up, here. State Supreme Court[br]shouldn't even look at an appeal

1:28:11.083,1:28:12.167
based on new evidence.

1:28:13.961,1:28:17.089
Hey, guys, I'll take care of that, okay?

1:28:17.381,1:28:18.757
You just--you leave it to me.

1:28:20.676,1:28:22.219
Look, I know you're all exhausted.

1:28:22.636,1:28:24.888
We got four days left.

1:28:25.556,1:28:27.558
What we do now[br]is going to decide this thing.

1:28:27.558,1:28:28.767
Do you wanna win, or not?

1:28:29.101,1:28:30.185
- Alan![br]- What?

1:28:30.352,1:28:32.437
- We've got something.[br]- We've hit the jackpot.

1:28:33.355,1:28:36.275
Our needles that had[br]amobarbital and Valium...

1:28:36.441,1:28:37.234
But no insulin...

1:28:37.526,1:28:40.571
Both came back with[br]false positive readings

1:28:40.779,1:28:41.613
for insulin.

1:28:41.780,1:28:42.990
Okay.

1:28:43.156,1:28:44.825
One was 93, the other 282.

1:28:44.992,1:28:47.619
We've knocked out every piece[br]of their medical case.

1:28:50.747,1:28:51.373
Good work, good work.

1:28:51.540,1:28:54.376
Okay, now, now all they've got left[br]is my neck.

1:28:55.502,1:28:57.754
Anybody know anything[br]about editing audio tapes?

1:29:07.431,1:29:09.308
Defense! For what, defense!

1:29:09.433,1:29:10.517
- Come on![br]- Come on!

1:29:20.861,1:29:21.945
All right, Alan.

1:29:22.988,1:29:24.031
- Come on![br]- Hey!

1:29:24.406,1:29:25.490
Hurry up!

1:29:26.033,1:29:27.576
- What's going on?[br]- Pass it, Alan.

1:29:28.202,1:29:30.579
I got it. Wait a minute.[br]I got it, I got it.

1:29:30.746,1:29:32.122
- Where's Raj?[br]- He's upstairs.

1:29:32.623,1:29:33.749
- Where you going?[br]- Alan!

1:29:34.875,1:29:37.336
Raj, Raj, I got it.

1:29:38.003,1:29:39.087
I got it.

1:29:39.254,1:29:40.339
Remember Maria?

1:29:40.714,1:29:42.341
<i>She could have said it like this...</i>

1:29:42.674,1:29:43.759
Insulin?

1:29:45.928,1:29:47.429
For what, insulin?

1:29:49.139,1:29:51.225
My lady is not diabetic.

1:29:51.600,1:29:54.770
You see? "My lady is not diabetic."

1:29:55.521,1:29:58.232
She is assuming that the bag is Sunny's.

1:29:58.774,1:30:00.859
Her first reaction, instantaneous,

1:30:01.026,1:30:02.945
not part of a legal strategy[br]devised later,

1:30:03.111,1:30:04.655
is that the stuff in the black bag

1:30:04.696,1:30:06.240
belonged to Sunny, not Claus.

1:30:06.406,1:30:07.866
Who's gonna know better than she?

1:30:08.367,1:30:09.451
Start writing.

1:30:10.744,1:30:13.622
You are not God, you are a prosecutor,

1:30:13.789,1:30:16.124
and Alabama cannot execute[br]those Johnson kids

1:30:16.250,1:30:17.751
before the Supreme Court rules!

1:30:18.043,1:30:19.795
That--that's right! You heard me right.

1:30:19.795,1:30:21.755
You've got two hours[br]to get to Rhode Island.

1:30:21.880,1:30:22.714
You're gonna have to speed.

1:30:22.881,1:30:24.007
You want me to commit a crime?

1:30:24.007,1:30:25.551
Of course not! Because if you do,[br]they're gonna stop you,

1:30:25.551,1:30:26.927
you're not gonna make the deadline.

1:30:26.927,1:30:29.680
I'm tellin' you right now, buddy,[br]those kids fry, you're next!

1:30:29.847,1:30:30.722
You forgot your jacket.

1:30:30.848,1:30:31.932
You're damn right!

1:30:32.683,1:30:35.310
<i>Some startling developments[br]in the von Bulow case.</i>

1:30:35.644,1:30:37.688
<i>Harvard Law School[br]professor Alan Dershowitz</i>

1:30:37.855,1:30:40.399
<i>had been accused of paying[br]for falsified testimony,</i>

1:30:40.941,1:30:42.985
<i>but those accusations[br]were discredited today</i>

1:30:43.151,1:30:44.820
<i>by the Rhode Island attorney general,</i>

1:30:44.945,1:30:47.406
<i>who announced that[br]David Marriott's tape was doctored</i>

1:30:47.823,1:30:50.367
<i>and that Marriott[br]is not a reliable witness.</i>

1:30:50.909,1:30:52.286
So, what was he up to, Alan?

1:30:52.786,1:30:54.037
Who was he working for?

1:30:54.496,1:30:55.581
Damned if I know.

1:30:59.710,1:31:01.712
Hope they don't think[br]he was working for you.

1:31:01.920,1:31:02.796
Alan, no one's going to think--

1:31:02.963,1:31:05.007
Look, I don't think you did it, okay?

1:31:06.175,1:31:07.551
But at the Chinese restaurant,

1:31:08.010,1:31:09.386
you did duck the big question.

1:31:09.720,1:31:11.513
Chuck is our Alexandra Isles expert.

1:31:13.599,1:31:15.142
Sunny's Aspirin overdose...

1:31:16.560,1:31:18.020
why did she take so many?

1:31:19.855,1:31:22.316
What happened? Sunny had a headache?

1:31:25.319,1:31:29.072
Headache... was Alexandra, right?

1:31:33.785,1:31:34.870
Let's hear it, Claus.

1:31:37.623,1:31:39.291
Alexandra was spiteful.

1:31:41.043,1:31:45.297
On the day of Sunny's Aspirin overdose,

1:31:46.381,1:31:49.218
she returned some presents I'd given her,

1:31:49.384,1:31:51.136
some photographs...

1:31:51.970,1:31:53.055
love letters.

1:31:54.890,1:31:57.184
She dropped them off in a shopping bag.

1:31:58.352,1:31:59.436
Did Sunny see them?

1:32:00.562,1:32:01.647
Sunny was home.

1:32:02.856,1:32:03.941
I was not.

1:32:05.400,1:32:09.404
Alexandra neglected to address[br]the package to me.

1:32:10.113,1:32:12.908
I want to be left alone[br]with all those beau--beautiful letters.

1:32:13.700,1:32:16.745
What did you do with those letters?[br]Why did you write those letters?

1:32:19.206,1:32:22.292
There's a big difference[br]between knowing about an affair

1:32:23.210,1:32:26.129
and having love letters[br]crammed down your throat.

1:32:28.382,1:32:30.509
It seems that[br]Sunny did care about your affair.

1:32:31.343,1:32:32.427
She cared a lot.

1:32:36.181,1:32:37.266
Why didn't you tell us?

1:32:39.059,1:32:40.185
Everything was open book.

1:32:42.104,1:32:43.772
"Get the best experts.

1:32:44.147,1:32:45.482
I'm not afraid of the truth."

1:32:50.821,1:32:54.116
Looks to me like Alexandra[br]tried to force Sunny into a suicide.

1:32:56.952,1:32:58.453
Or they plotted it together.

1:33:00.330,1:33:02.082
Either way, he's protecting Alexandra,

1:33:02.791,1:33:04.418
because he's still in love with her.

1:33:04.418,1:33:05.502
And why not?

1:33:05.878,1:33:07.045
I mean, hey, she's a babe.

1:33:09.798,1:33:11.175
'Course I still love her.

1:33:14.178,1:33:15.262
And hate her.

1:33:17.639,1:33:21.560
Alexandra, Sunny, Andrea...

1:33:24.813,1:33:25.898
I love them all.

1:33:34.114,1:33:36.825
<i>Being a human being is very literal.</i>

1:33:37.367,1:33:38.452
<i>You're trapped.</i>

1:33:44.499,1:33:46.251

<i>Example, the legal process.</i>

1:33:51.006,1:33:52.508
<i>In this particular case,</i>

1:33:52.674,1:33:56.345
<i>a vast amount of time,[br]effort, and money was spent</i>

1:33:56.512,1:33:58.847
<i>trying to determine[br]precisely what happened</i>

1:33:59.014,1:34:01.433
<i>on those two nights so close to Christmas,</i>

1:34:01.767,1:34:06.939
<i>December 26th, 1979, December 20th, 1980.</i>

1:34:08.607,1:34:09.775

<i>Even now it all looks the same,</i>

1:34:15.531,1:34:18.867

<i>If you could just go back in time[br]and take a peek,</i>

1:34:23.956,1:34:25.040

1:34:26.834,1:34:28.961
<i>and all this would be unnecessary.</i>

1:34:29.336,1:34:30.420
All rise!

Hear ye, hear ye!

All persons having business[br]before the Supreme Court

1:34:38.846,1:34:41.723
holding in Providence within and for[br]the state of Rhode Island

1:34:41.890,1:34:43.016

1:34:53.235,1:34:55.237
If the appellant is ready,[br]you may proceed.

1:34:57.489,1:34:58.240
If it please the court,

1:34:58.407,1:35:01.118
oral argument will be made[br]by out-of-state counsel,

1:35:01.285,1:35:03.287
professor Alan Dershowitz.

1:35:13.088,1:35:14.173
Your Honors,

1:35:14.590,1:35:16.925
you may not like Claus von Bulow.

1:35:17.759,1:35:19.678
You may think he is guilty of something,

1:35:19.845,1:35:22.264
but I am here to tell you he is innocent.

1:35:23.265,1:35:24.183
Our new evidence will clear--

1:35:24.349,1:35:28.228
Professor, you know there isn't[br]a single case which allows you

1:35:28.395,1:35:30.814
to introduce new evidence on appeal.

1:35:31.106,1:35:32.858
Well, there is one, Your Honor,

1:35:33.692,1:35:36.111
and you wrote it. <i>Derek</i>.

1:35:37.696,1:35:38.780
In <i>Derek</i>...

1:35:39.448,1:35:41.325
in <i>Derek</i>, you yourself said

1:35:41.783,1:35:45.621
that a case based on circumstantial theory[br]rather than fact

1:35:46.038,1:35:47.122
only stands up

1:35:47.247,1:35:49.625
if no other theory makes sense.

1:35:50.042,1:35:52.669
The only way to show a better theory

1:35:52.836,1:35:53.921
is to present it.

1:35:59.968,1:36:01.553
Get on with it, counselor.

1:36:03.305,1:36:05.933
The first issue is the encrusted needle.

1:36:07.184,1:36:08.560
<i>I hope you will have the courage</i>

1:36:08.560,1:36:10.145
<i>to free an innocent man</i>

1:36:10.312,1:36:12.314
<i>and remedy a grave injustice.</i>

1:36:12.898,1:36:14.066
This will never work.

1:36:14.650,1:36:16.026
Too smart for his own good.

1:36:17.110,1:36:18.570
Alan says it will work,

1:36:19.655,1:36:21.782
if the prosecutor takes the bait.

1:36:22.783,1:36:23.909
What do you mean, "bait"?

1:36:25.369,1:36:26.787
Argues the evidence.

1:36:27.996,1:36:28.664
<i>Your Honors,</i>

1:36:28.830,1:36:31.500
introduction of new evidence on appeal

1:36:32.960,1:36:36.213
violates every principle of jurisprudence,

1:36:36.630,1:36:37.881
every statute,

1:36:38.632,1:36:41.134
every precedent, every rule of ethics.

1:36:41.510,1:36:43.178
Ah, he's nailing us right off the bat.

1:36:43.178,1:36:44.972
I am not going to stand before you

1:36:45.138,1:36:47.391
and argue Mr. von Bulow's guilt.

1:36:50.227,1:36:51.311
However,

1:36:51.645,1:36:54.648
I have no choice but to address[br]Mr. Dershowitz' arguments

1:36:54.815,1:36:55.899
one by one.

1:36:57.234,1:36:58.318
- Bingo.[br]- First,

1:36:59.444,1:37:01.113
the matter of the encrusted needle...

1:37:02.614,1:37:05.242
So? Now it's up to the judges.

1:37:05.993,1:37:07.327
Tell me what you really think.

1:37:07.327,1:37:09.746
I think it's easier to love somebody

1:37:09.913,1:37:11.081
than to live with them.

1:37:13.166,1:37:14.668
Love is fantasy.

1:37:15.043,1:37:16.587
Living is work.

1:37:16.837,1:37:19.756
I'll say. And those people[br]don't like to work.

1:37:20.257,1:37:22.676
But, if you don't do the work,[br]the love dies,

1:37:23.010,1:37:25.053
and nobody wants to deal with that one.

1:37:27.431,1:37:28.515
The love died,

1:37:29.183,1:37:30.434
Sunny couldn't accept it...

1:37:31.852,1:37:33.520
so Claus tried to kill her?

1:37:33.687,1:37:34.771
Maybe.

1:37:35.022,1:37:36.106
I don't agree.

1:37:37.024,1:37:40.194
Face it, all we had to do[br]was prove the state made a lousy case.

1:37:40.611,1:37:42.404
We didn't prove that Claus was innocent.

1:37:42.446,1:37:44.865
We couldn't. We didn't have to,[br]and he probably isn't.

1:37:44.865,1:37:45.782
He isn't? You mean, you thi--

1:37:45.949,1:37:48.076
I mean, so,[br]he didn't inject Sunny with insulin.

1:37:48.577,1:37:51.205
So what? Break it down.[br]First coma, no problem.

1:37:51.371,1:37:54.458
Even the attending doctor thought[br]it was caused by hypoglycemia,

1:37:54.625,1:37:56.251
loss of air to the brain, and so on.

1:37:56.293,1:37:58.629
All right. But what about the second coma?

1:37:58.795,1:38:00.964
I mean, why does Claus act so guilty?

1:38:01.131,1:38:04.176
Hey, come on, wouldn't any man feel guilty[br]if his wife was suicidal?

1:38:04.801,1:38:07.971
Yeah, so, so maybe she took[br]the sleeping pills

1:38:08.138,1:38:09.848
with the intention of killing herself,

1:38:10.474,1:38:14.728
but how did she end up lying[br]on a marble floor in a freezing bathroom

1:38:14.895,1:38:16.522
with her head under the toilet bowl?

1:38:16.897,1:38:17.981
How about this?

1:39:06.321,1:39:07.906
<i>Sunny wakes up miserable.</i>

1:39:13.579,1:39:15.038
<i>Second marriage is over.</i>

1:39:15.205,1:39:16.373
<i>Children are leaving home.</i>

1:39:17.791,1:39:18.876
<i>What's to live for?</i>

1:41:32.217,1:41:33.719
But when she was found,

1:41:33.886,1:41:35.637
her nightgown was hiked over her waist.

1:41:35.762,1:41:38.182
Exactly. How did it get there?

1:41:39.850,1:41:41.768
<i>Okay, let's say[br]she's standing at the sink.</i>

1:41:42.352,1:41:43.437
<i>She has to pee.</i>

1:41:43.854,1:41:45.272
<i>At exactly the same instant,</i>

1:41:45.731,1:41:46.815
<i>the drugs hit.</i>

1:41:47.399,1:41:48.483
<i>Body convulses.</i>

1:41:48.859,1:41:50.444
<i>She grabs the nightgown.</i>

1:41:55.365,1:41:56.200
I don't buy that.

1:41:56.366,1:41:58.160
It does seem far-fetched.

1:41:58.827,1:42:00.037
So's the truth sometimes.

1:42:00.204,1:42:03.081
Oh, bull. I think she took[br]the barbiturates the previous night.

1:42:03.332,1:42:05.876
<i>And, let's say he saw her take them,</i>

1:42:06.627,1:42:10.047
<i>or she told him she was going to[br]before they fell asleep.</i>

1:42:18.639,1:42:21.600
<i>This time, he wants her to succeed.</i>

1:42:31.818,1:42:32.903
Sunny?

1:43:00.180,1:43:02.182
<i>Maybe there's some way[br]he can help her along.</i>

1:43:03.642,1:43:06.770
<i>Of course, the open window.</i>

1:43:07.771,1:43:09.273
<i>Zero degrees.</i>

1:43:10.774,1:43:12.276
<i>But somebody might see her there.</i>

1:43:13.694,1:43:16.905
<i>The action of dragging her[br]would naturally pull up the nightgown.</i>

1:43:47.352,1:43:50.189
<i>In this cold, how long could she survive?</i>

1:44:10.918,1:44:12.252
<i>Remember what Sunny said?</i>

1:44:13.587,1:44:14.963
<i>"I would have been better off.</i>

1:44:16.423,1:44:17.883
<i>You would have been better off."</i>

1:44:22.804,1:44:25.307
...because the law is a blunt instrument.

1:44:25.474,1:44:28.143
It is not a rapier. It is a cudgel.

1:44:29.436,1:44:31.188
Tomorrow, death penalty,

1:44:31.855,1:44:33.607
which reminds me of the comedian who said,

1:44:33.607,1:44:35.776
"I don't know why[br]they call it the death penalty.

1:44:35.901,1:44:38.070
That's no penalty.[br]You're out of the game!"

1:44:47.246,1:44:48.622
- Good news.[br]- Great news.

1:44:48.956,1:44:49.790
And more good news.

1:44:49.957,1:44:51.041
The decision came down?

1:44:51.250,1:44:52.042
They just announced it.

1:44:52.292,1:44:52.876
Five-zip.

1:44:53.043,1:44:54.127
We murdered them.

1:44:55.003,1:44:55.629
Grounds?

1:44:56.046,1:44:57.506
Well, they got the Brillhoffer notes.

1:44:57.506,1:44:59.424
And that silly, silly guilty[br]man's argument,

1:44:59.424,1:45:00.259
search and seizure.

1:45:00.425,1:45:01.343
- Federal or state?[br]- Both.

1:45:01.510,1:45:04.054
- That's important.[br]- Yeah, it's federal, they could appeal it

1:45:04.054,1:45:04.763
in the US Supreme Court.

1:45:04.930,1:45:07.140
But because it's Rhode Island,[br]they can't. We win.

1:45:08.183,1:45:10.894
Don't--don't get too excited[br]until we see Brillhoffer's notes.

1:45:10.894,1:45:12.354
We destroyed their medical case,

1:45:12.604,1:45:14.731
but their witnesses[br]still carry emotional weight

1:45:14.731,1:45:15.899
if there's a second trial.

1:45:16.191,1:45:17.276
Unless...

1:45:17.985,1:45:20.737
the Brillhoffer notes show[br]that they've changed their stories.

1:45:21.780,1:45:22.865
Good afternoon, sir.

1:45:25.409,1:45:26.493
Let me get that for you.

1:45:27.244,1:45:28.328
Thank you.

1:45:41.925,1:45:43.343
You have Brillhoffer's notes?

1:45:43.719,1:45:44.469
Yes.

1:45:44.803,1:45:45.387
Well?

1:45:45.846,1:45:47.014
They're not what we hoped.

1:45:47.055,1:45:48.140
I knew it.

1:45:51.351,1:45:52.436
They're much better.

1:45:54.897,1:45:58.233
No one mentioned seeing insulin[br]when they first talked to Brillhoffer.

1:45:58.483,1:46:00.986
Plus... Maria told them

1:46:01.403,1:46:03.405
that at Thanksgiving,[br]when she supposedly saw insulin

1:46:03.405,1:46:04.114
for the first time,

1:46:04.281,1:46:05.657
she couldn't even read any of the labels.

1:46:05.657,1:46:06.825
They were all scraped off.

1:46:08.368,1:46:09.286
What does this mean?

1:46:09.453,1:46:10.537
It means

1:46:10.913,1:46:12.164
that if there is a second trial,

1:46:12.164,1:46:13.540
we can be reasonably confident

1:46:14.333,1:46:16.293
both the medical case and their witnesses

1:46:16.460,1:46:17.794
are now highly suspect.

1:46:17.961,1:46:20.130
Oh, God.

1:46:22.758,1:46:23.842
So...

1:46:40.484,1:46:41.568
Darling...

1:46:42.361,1:46:43.904
This is Alan Dershowitz.

1:46:44.279,1:46:45.405
Yes, I know. Hello.

1:46:46.240,1:46:47.324
Alan tells me...

1:46:47.824,1:46:50.077
well, things look very hopeful.

1:46:51.787,1:46:53.372
I knew it would come out all right.

1:46:53.705,1:46:54.790
Thank you.

1:46:58.669,1:46:59.920
Yes, Alan, thank you.

1:47:00.087,1:47:01.505
I am eternally grateful.

1:47:01.672,1:47:03.841
Hey, this means[br]we'll be getting back your bail,

1:47:04.007,1:47:05.133
a million dollars.

1:47:05.843,1:47:07.678
Uh, I know I still owe you, Alan.

1:47:09.638,1:47:11.265
Please send me your bill.

1:47:12.641,1:47:14.601
And maybe when you're in New York,

1:47:14.768,1:47:15.853
uh, we can...

1:47:17.020,1:47:18.856
we can meet for lunch. I'd enjoy that.

1:47:20.023,1:47:21.108
One thing, Claus...

1:47:21.817,1:47:23.569
legally, this was an important victory.

1:47:24.486,1:47:26.154
Morally, you're on your own.

1:47:39.209,1:47:42.171
<i>Claus von Bulow was given a second trial</i>

1:47:42.504,1:47:44.506
<i>and acquitted on both counts.</i>

1:47:46.842,1:47:48.510
<i>This is all you can know...</i>

1:47:50.262,1:47:51.722
<i>all you can be told.</i>

1:47:53.056,1:47:54.600
<i>When you get where I am,</i>

1:47:55.767,1:47:56.852
<i>you will know the rest.</i>

1:48:30.302,1:48:31.762
Two packs of Vantage, please.

1:48:40.395,1:48:41.480
Anything else?

1:48:42.981,1:48:44.399
Yes, a vial of insulin.

1:48:51.865,1:48:52.950
Just kidding.
